"a Savage King, . Mexican
drama in five acts, was the attraction
at Forepaugh's yesterday, produced
by LeComte and Flosher's Company.
The play abounds in the dramatic
interest. Mr.. McMechen had the
role of an American newspaper cor
respondent. Every speech is full
American humor of a man who finds
himself in the midst of a strife
amongst strangers in a foreign land.
With considerable animation
instilled into these speeches he will
assure his position. The other inn
portant part is Annetta, whose sing
ing and dancing in the second ACT
made a decided hit. She did her
work very c%reditably. The scenes
of the play are laid in ''Ole Mexico.
The story is of a woman. the mother
of q daughter twenty years Olo, who
falls in love with her daughters sutton.
To gain his favor she makes the
statement to the lover that the girl is
the daughter of q slave and not her
own. In the last act it is shown that
the unfortunate is the daughter OF
another. but is of the real Spanish
royal blood. Miss Sargent whose
first appearance with the cast was
last week, played we'll the passion
ately revengeful woman, who thwarted
in seeking the favor of the man she
loves, turns her hate upon the more
favored one, the girl she has always
considered her own daughter. Mr..

THE COSTUnES AND TRAITOR.
Difficulties of Costuming q
Modern Play r Greater
Than Theaterg0ers I'm.
agine.

The costuming of any play re-
quires much care and thought
and in some cases, when the
scenes are laid in the distant
past, weeks of research Ire ne.
cessary before absolute accuracy
is attained in design, cloths and
colorings. The theategoer who
has not made a study of this
subject would naturally suppose,
however, that for a play like The
Traitor" by Channing Pollock
and Thomas Dixon, Jr., it would
be comparatively easy to provide
the proper costumes. This is
not the case. Often it is more
difficult to correctly garb charac-
ters who lived in 1872, the period
of this play. than those who lived
hundreds of years ago. In the
case of ancient costumes they are
made from old plates and draw
ings. In this case it is necessary
to hunt up clothing that was &C.
tually used during the period of
the play for the simple reason
that newly tailored clothing
would be too new. OF course the
gowns worn by the ladies' are
made new, but the garments
worn by the men are more ef-
fective if they are the old clothes
that were actually worn during
the period of the play.
One of the most difficult prob.
lens was to procure the proper
costumes for the bogus Ku Klux
Khan. 1t was hard enough to
get the right idea for the white
robes of the Ku Klux Khan in
i"The Clansman'' but these diff
culties were increased hundred
fold when it came to costuming
"The Traitor. After all the
reason is simple. The original
Ku Klux Khan saved the South
and now that secrecy is not
necessary there are some who
will show some of the old cos
tunes that have been carefully
preserved. It must be remem-
bered, however, that the imita-
ton Klans were not only pur-
sued by the National Govern
ment but by the original Khan.
They were traitors even to their
old comrades. OF course they
are held in detestation by every
one and naturally it is extremely
difficult to lind one of the red
robes that they wore to serve as
a pattern. 1t was only through
the wide acquaintance that Mr..
Dixon has throughout the South
that this original red robe was
found.
Another difficulty is to get the
proper costumes for the actors
who play the roles of negroes.
AS a rule the stage negro is rarely
ever dressed like a real colored
man. A man or woman who
plays in blackface is generally
satisfied to put on any monde
script costume which is hardly
ever true to life.
If anyone doubts the difficulty
of finding out about the costumes
of even so recent a period as
1872 ask some old gentlemen
about the clothing of that period.
See if you can get a detailed de-
scription from which q tailor
could produce that costume. As
q matter of fact it is much easier
to ascertain the details of y Rev.
vOlutionary costume. It is
doubtful if any manager spends
as much time and care upon cos.
tuning q modern play as George
II. Brennan has spent upon THE
Traitor" and before that upon
THE Clanamann In fact this
