our scene from Julius Caesar What
ever he said to his son I never knew.
Judging from sounds which came from

tails or a legal career. I should say
that. as customary the attorney was

FORMERLY. made out Of distractions and
designed for nobody in particular Any
similarity, however, which may be dis
cerned between the subject of our
sketch and the hero of the playlet--the
mayor of Springheld-will be found
to be entirely fortuitous and accidental,
for the play. Mr. Holt tells me. was not
written for him but for Eugene Jepson,
who died recently.
'Ade, the author. was a friend Of
mine." said Mr.. Holt, and he was a
friend of poor Jepson. too. Both OF
us had played in his comedies. as
the western railroad magnate in The
College Widow. and Jepson as the
pickle magnate in Just Out of Col
leEe' The latter role OF course is the
better of the two. but All of Ade S
stage characters are real and he writes
few or no poor parts.
The San Francisco call., 1908-12-27

I Holt followed unchecked the bend of
his thought and was soon in an ana
lytical monologue of. much interest
which was devoted to a consideration
/ of Ade's powers as "a writer and a
dramatist And so shall We follow him
for minute or two.
"Ade, said Holt, drawing meditat-
lively at his cold cigar points out what
yon and / have seen but which we
have never remarked. He is like a
highly sensitized Photographic plate
which receives and retains Impressions
/ and which receives and retains all that
passes before it. He takes that plate
so to say into the dark room of his
1 library and when he brings forth the
printed page. behold. 1t Is truth.
NOTHING essential is missing and
though there. may be some sretouching
done, it is all to the advantage of0the
portrait
Holt thinks there is or was only one
other American writer more sensitively
keen to the impressions which every
day life affords than Ade That was.
he thinks, William Allen White, only
he was moro devoted to the depletion
of the beauties of nature than the
lidiosyncrasies of character. 'I remem-
Der some of his work." said Holt.
(which is really poetry. The glories
of natural scenery he compasses in
cold type until the landscape unfolds
with vividness almost panoramic.
But never mind that" said he. "for
nobody cares what think about such
subjects. You were inquiring about
this sketch.

and the Inference was that the illu-l
sions of the stage demand that there be
illusions and not realities. Stated
otherwise, that the character and action
OF blind man are best represented
by an actor who has his sight, and that
deformity and afI1iction on the stage.
to get their proper perspective must be
as artificial as the paint and canvas
which are used in the scenic art to
depict the object of such af1ictions
There is popular fallacy.- said
Holt, that actors must do things on
the stage as they would do in the
real life That is surely. a fallacy. Art
and the. real essence of acting consist
In doing things that seem natural, but
which really are done in an unnatural
way. 1 am not a pioneer in this con-
clusion. Dion Boucicault said about
the same thing in a much better way
long ago. You do not paint the sea in
the color of the ocean you do-not paint
a good portrait when YOU eliminate

he is not natural. He is more than
that. He is giving you the very es
sence and ~unmixed truth OF an episode
which, In real life, would. contain many
details which in a dramatic frame
would not be possible. and which,
if presented, would look as unreal as a
snapshot photograph of running
horse.
There is another side of this same
proposition. The young lady, Caroline
Greenfield. who plays the role OF the
manicure in this sketch Of mine, comes
from fine old aristocratIc family OF

at the characterization which the sex-
Iigenciss of the plot bring about. She
