GENUINE COWBOY
AS HART SEES HIM
Star of THE Virginian" Discusses
the Dress of Fast Disappear
ing Character.

DO you know you almost make me
laugh-asking me TO contrast the STAGE
cowboy with the real range riders. II
is almost funny-thinking Of some -ac-
tors-Sood actors. tOO-that I know. try
ing 10 lend atmosphere 10 the scenes
and pictures Of Western drama How
ever. at that, guess they are as true
TO the genuine as the dramas them
selves" remarked W. S. Hart. the other
day in discussing THE Virginian" and
other plays Of Western life. Upon this
subject. Mr.. Hart may be readily ac-
cepted as an authority. for he has been
the real thing for years on the great
Western plains.
The cowboy was a most picturesque
character" he continued. and a fig
ure once seen never forgotten. And
yet his picturesque outfit was. and is.
unitarian. Look at the costume 1 wear
IL The Hrginian II is absolutely
correct. and there is a reason, and
good one. for everything 1 put on.
The buckskin thongs. which 1 tie
around my arms above the elbow, are
about the only thing a cowpuncher
wears that has not distinct use They
seem 10 be merely a custom. and yet
they keep the sleeves Of the shirt close
to the arms. The one thing we do in
The Virginian' that IS not exactly Up
20 the mark is the absence Of the vest.
Every cowboy wears an old vest, al
ways unbuttOned- He uses II 10 carry
around his matches. cigarette papers,
tobacco and such things. The vest is
even more necessary 20 the man Of the
plains than Is HIS shirt"

Louise Cunning
Scores Success In
New 0peretta
Maxine Elliott Well Received
and George Cohan Gives
Public His Best.
BY A. H BALLARD.

New York, Oct. 10.
IT HEY turned the trick right at the
Casino with "Marcelle."
Several, lately, at that unique.
WhiteWay home OF theatrical
hghtsomeness, have been near-successes;
but this Pixley and Luders "operetta"
strikes the whizzing, breezy, rOllicking
makes you sigh with content and smiling
Louise Cunning is the star, and
Sne mas chances TO show of her re-
markable agility of note and voCaliza-
ton She wears boys clothes part Of
the time, and dispOrts herself charm
ingly. In fact. she IS twins, a boy and
a girl. according TO the scenes You
happen upon.
To tell the story OF a musical roi,rt,,re
of this sort would be to tell something
himsy as air. something that depends
upon the surroundings for it's raison
q 'etre. Enough 10 know that among

song which may be elaborated into a

and Lawrence Wheat, who keeps the
dancing pace with her. The melodies
are tuneful, the company splendid
throughout, the scenic investiture gor-
geOuS, the whole entertainments bright
ana pleasing. In addition, IL has a
flavor OF SmaTtness that reaches down
into the personal feelings Of the New
Yorker, and makes him think that he
is IN a familiar house among familiar
friends who are having a good time to-
gether. It looks like another long
Casino run that is justified by the quail
ity of the show
Nance O'NeiI in agnes"
The commandingly emotional voice Of
Nance O'Nen is heard this week at the
Majestic, in a new play, Agnes" by
George Cameron. 1t is the story Of a
woman who thinks her millionaire hus-
band dead, and marries a physician.
She Is afterward confronted with the
complication Of her first husband ap-
pearing. The pair had been shipwreck-
Cd and he had lost his memory. Her
present husband operates on the first
and the operation kills him.
There are no sounds more tragic and
fraugnt with meaning than Miss
O'NCllS voice tones when she eNeTts
herself. This play affords ner OppOr-
tunities for considerable display Of her
powers. but she never can seem TO
reach just the right environment that
might create the veritable sensation
that her great gifts should command.
Whether she is well directed or not. one
cannot say, But that she IS a wonderful
bad occasion TO remark every time I
have seen her on the stage
