Boheme," and the reporter, who was
standing in the wings, remarked:
Madame Scheff, comic opera is the
place for you"
But the vivacous Musetta did not then
appreciate his idea. She was not getting
large salary as grand opera wages go,
but in the Grau company she was an
artist among artists. Comic opera sounded
like ragtime to her. Besides, she said
her English was not good enough even if
she should consider such proposition.

she agreed to star under Charles Dllling.

These walters are acting for the first
time in their lives, and agents of Lew
Fields secured the city to find them. Two
were located In Bowery restaurants and
one came from the fastness of Chinatown
around in Mott street. where he was em-
ployed carrying dead dishes for Chop
Suey emporium. The other two were
floating along Broadway. One was a
great, fat, good natured jolly fellow, who
was a plumber in the Murray Hill Turk
ish baths. and the other was a little
stump of humanity measuring hardly four
feet, who was running bootblack stand
In Forty-second street. They were tackled
by Lew Fieldian agent and captured
bodily notwithstanding the fact that they
said they had never acted in their lives
and never expected to. 1t didn't take long
to make actors of them, however, and IL
they follow the advice of Lew Fields
who drills them in the duties of walters
1t won't take long for them to become
walters.
This is what Lew Fields tells his wait
ers:
Always remember. the first duty of a
waiter Is to look insulting. Never go near
a customer until ten minutes after he has
come in. If he goes like that (snapping
his finger) don't pay any attention to
him. If he gets excited and jingles on the
glass Will MS kDlIet go out IN the Kitchen
where you won't hear him. In about ten
minutes come around and brush the
crumbs into his lap. Then, IL he asks you
for a program, don't notice it, but walk
away. When you come back he has found
his program and knows what he wants.
Then you take out your pad and write 1t
down-and then go out In the kitchen and
order something else. Never believe a
head waiter If he says the softshell
crabs are lovely today you can bet your
life they're rotten"

THE WEST IN PLAYS

The wild and woody west never seems
to lose interest as a dramatic theme. and
probably there are more western plays
on the road this season than ever before.
Nearly every actor likes to play cowboy
parts. or course the average actor would
sooner be mad and melancholy Hamlet
or ranting Richard III than anything
else. But the audience will not stand
for much of this, and the picturesque
western hero with his shooting irons and
MS tringed trousers is as popular with
the spectators as with the players
1t would seem that the average man
never quite outgrows his desire to kill
Indians, dig gold and ride the range.
and since business keeps him in the cities
he never misses a chance to see his
hearts dream put ON the stage.
Most of the western plays are pure
melodramas, and the effort to treat the
west from any other standpoint usually
ends in dramatic failure. The heroine
must be of the Miss type and the effort
to make chorus girl out of her, as in
the case OF THE Girl Rangers" is likely
to result in disappointment
Among the western dramas now being
played are Arizona" AT Cripple
Creek" "A Texas Ranger" and In
Montana"
Clusters Last Fight" "Deadwood
Dicks Last Shot" and Daniel Boone on
the Trail are not too old in theme to
succeed In 1907. The Girl of the Golden
west is more ideal as Blanche Bates
portrays her, but yet she is a disguised
M iiss. William Favershain finds the
Squaw Man" effective and Dustin Far
mum THE Ranger"
eeyond the Rio Grande," Fighting
Blll' Sheriff of Silver Creek" "Bunco IN
Arizona" and "Old Arkansaw'' are among
the more rough and tumble western plays
now being presented. In the same class
are Texas THE Card King of the
Coast" and ranch plays like "The Cow
boy and the 6quaw." THE Cowboy Girl "
The Cow Puncher'' and THE Flower Of
the Ranch"
Pure melodramas are Young Buffalo |
King OF the Wild West" "The Gambler
of the West" and THE Rocky Mountain |
Express
1.-THE Round Up" THE squaw Man"
''fhe Rose of the Rancho" and 'The
Three of Us" are less sensational. but
they frankly depend upon the western
atmosphere and western types for their
success.

pairs of headlights flashing their bril-
liant rays across the darkened stage.
The mechanical arrangement stops the
machines automatically, just when it
seems certain they will rush over the
footlights and crash down over the af-
frighted spectators, 1t Is a wonderful
achievement, thrilling in the extreme and
makes all previous automobile stage eff
fects look like toys.
A Paris correspondent of a London
journal writes: IN. Antoine has set the
hairs of la tradition on end. but re-
joiced his public by making a dashing
experiment with >'Tartuffc. The English
stage, which rather seeks to create a
traditional atmosphere than TO escape
from one. can hardly understand M. An
toine's audaeity in staging 'Tartuffe' to
suit real life. Moliere at the Coincide
Francaise is never staged at all in the
proper sense. The tradition is that any
scenery or business beyond those sane
toned by over two centuries experience,
would be dissertation. Thus, the five
acts of 'Tartuffe are played In one con-
ventional scene, little less elementary
than those of the Elizabethan Stage So
ciety REVEALS. NJ. Antoine has staged
the piece as thoroughly as he would
modern play. His experiment is an incl
dent in the lasting dispute between the
scenery and no-scenery schools. 1t Is
curious to note that while the reaction
i'll England has been made against elab-
Grafton of scenery, that of M. Antoine is
on the contrary, against the tradition OF
simplicity" The experiment is said to
have been voted complete success by
the spectators, as might have been ex-
pected. No play was ever damaged by
an appropriate setting. 1t is only when
scenery involves the sacrifice or degrade
tion of a precious text, that it is OBJ
jectionable.

Herald. who signs himself American
First Nighter," has been making the
rounds of the London theaters and
where they have apparently been received
with mixed feelings by Englishmen, for
his tone is generally hostile.
He went to the Kingsway theater a few
nights ago to see the new curtain-raiser,
"A Stroke of Business" Here is part of
his criticism, not Of the play. but Of the
audience,
while curtain-raisers never have and
never will be popular in New York, they
are necessity here. An Englishman
must have time to put ON his evening
clothes and gorge himself at the table be-
fore he can seriously and eonscientiously
enjoy his evening, otherwise his day is
failure. Also, he must see the play from
start to finish, or he would not be able to
understand 1t,
His imagination, If it exists, he scorns
TO make use Of; hence, to keep his sacred
and time-honored patronage, the play
must not begin much before . o'clock.
Therefore, the ourtainraiser is a stop-gap
to keep the pit and gallery interested and
to have the theater lit up and occupied
while the august Englishman founders
into his stall, SO that the humber folk
can see him and he can be a nuisance to
at least few people.
