WEALTHY ACTORS.
Good Sized Fortunes Earned Espe
 cially by the American Stars.

cially by the American Stars.
 An English publication recently compiled a table showing the cash values of recently dead stage celeb rites. The name of Sir Henry Irv- ing was the most notable In the llst. He was credited with possessing at the time of his death properties representing a cash value of $71 900, yet Richard Mansfield, whose posi- tion here was similar to that of Irv- ing abroad. died worth S250,000. Sir Augustus Harris died at the age of A worth a trifie over $100,000. At the present day Reginald De Koven owns real estate in New York to the value of $200,000, and that rep resents but portion of his wealth. Mention is also made of the for tunes of actors now prominent on the London stage. Sir Charles Wyndham, E. s. Willard, Beerbohm Tree and Sir John Hare rank fore most in the grouping. The highest amount supposed to be possessed by any one of these actors Is $250,000. There are at least a score of well known American actors, among whom are William Gillette, William II. Crane, Frank Daniels, Henry Miller, Lew Fields, Joe Weber and others, who are each worth over a quarter of a million dollars. Lew Fields has that much money invest ed in Harlem alone.
 In the same article mention is made of Mrs Langtry and Mrs Pat rick Campbell, Sarah Bernhardt, Lena Ashwell and Ellen Terry as the wealthiest of women stars. They are supposed to possess sums vary ing from S35, ,000 to $10O,000. The largest saving is accredited to Mrs Langtry. who scarcely can be termed an English woman. The American stage, with Maxine Elliott and Maude Adams. has two actresses who are worth double the latter amount. May Irwin has over a mil lion. Ida Conquest has investments in mining shares and Long Island real estate amounting to over $75,- 900. Kyrle Bellew, Oscar Asche, H. B. Irving and Louis Calvert are considered wealthy by their English admirers. but John Drew, for in- stance, probably has at his command twice as much money as any of the four leading men mentioned by the English journal H. B. Irving is es- pecially commended for the posses sion of $25,000. Walter Hale, a Chicago boy, already has invested that sum in suburban property. Doz- ems of other well known artists who have sums ranging from $25,000 to $l00.000 could be mentioned, and the fact that so many of the the atrical profession are well endowed with this worlds riches goes long way toward refuting the oft-heard assertion that the people of the stage are improvident and lacking in thrift.

Mile. Dazie has started a school for the teaching of the Salome dances and devotes two hours every morning to her pupils at the Jardin De Paris. It is already settled that at least 15O companies leaving New York this month will carry a Salome, and many of the ambitious imitators of Maud Allan are under Dazie's direc- tion learning the necessary steps. l Fl:
 Rev Mir Aked, known more or less irrevently as John D. Rockefeller's pastor" predicts that unless there be a revival of interest in matters of re- ligion there will be in another hun dred years no more churches, and that Henry Ainley by some esteemed the "handsomest young actor on the British stage" has promised to read the lessons at the church of St Pe- ter's in London.

 The late Bishop Potter was of the mind that Clara Morris was the wit tiest woman on the stage. For this opinion he gave as reason her greet ing when he called upon her at her place, The Pines, at Riverdale-on- the-H Hudson.

 Dewitt Mott. who will appear as an artist when Richard Carle brings his newest musical comedy "Mary's 8 Lamb" to Poli's Friday, Sept. 11th played the part of Billie Bolton, the football hero of George Ade's Col lege Widow last year. Mir De- | Witt was one of the original mem bers of the famous Florodora" sex tette, and his rise on the stage has been rapid and continuous In 'Mary's Lamb" he has a part that calls not only for comedy talents, but for singing abilities as we'll. as one of the most popular numbers in the lively musical comedy.

 In "The Girl Question" Miss Geor- gie Drew Mendum has to smoke a cigarette. At a rehearsal last week she was standing in the wings puffing gallantly at one in an endeavor to become sufficiently accustomed to it not to cough all the time she was smoking on the stage. The fire laws in New York are strict, and fire man not understanding the situa- tion. rushed up to her. Say, what's this you're smoking?" he inquired roughly. "A Melachrino," answered Miss Mendum.
