BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

A writer for a theatrical daily in New
York called recently on Alan Dale,
dramatic critic extraordinary and asked
him a lot OF questions. He got from
Mr.. Dale a number of interesting dell
nitions Of things theatrical. Here are
some of them:
A good play: Il never consider any
play good that does not grip you.
Comedy can grip as well as tragedy. 1
don't think any play good that you can
forget Immediately afterward.
A good actor: "One who has good
elocution, personality and dramatic per
ception."
A good production: "A good cast
properly Tehearsed.'
A good manager: "One who has ar
tistic ideals and is a little higher than
the public
good critic: zone who says what
he thinks and knows how to say it."

The latest convert to the advocates
of quiet between the acts is Maude
Adams, now on tour with What Every
Woman Knows" In France no thea
ter employs an orchestra to play in
the intermission. OF course, in this
country the opposite is the rule. Amer
leans seem to like it. Popular music
to rise and during the intermissiOn en-
tertains them. But of late, for one rea-
son or other, there seems to be a
disposition to try the French expert
ment. Some theatres have dismissed
their musicians out of economy, but
Maude Adams could hardly be sus-
pected of that motive. In others the
experiment has been tried out of def
erence to what might be called high
brow" ideas. Highly cultivated people
say it interferes with their pleasure IN
the play to have to listen to journey
men fiddling. And as only those on
the aisle seats can get out, they have
to listen or stay away from the play.
Miss Adams is an extremely humane
woman. She would not needlessly pain
even a bore, but in this case the with
drawal of the orchestra at her per-
formances is not made to save the feel
ings of the representative. The truth
is that the public wants the room that
the orchestra takes up and is paying
to get it. Hence during her engage
ments there is an extra front row and
10 music.

and still the blithesome hero of George

became tutor in the art of stage make
up to a strange, but perfectly self-pOs-
sessed little lad of II, who sought out
the actor in his dressing room at the
theatre. Displaying gray wig and a
stick of grease paint, the little man
gravely Informed the actor that he was
about to make his first appearance in a
church festival play called Father
Time and His Boys" The only trouble
was that he did not know how to put
on the wig nor what to do with the
grease paint. Instantly Mr.. Crane set
about solving both problems. Making
up his little colleague. although it did
end by delaying a matinee performance

R0YLE'S NEW PLAY.

Edwin Milton ROyIe's new romantic
drama, These Are My People," had its
first representation on any stage at
Cincinnati last week, under the direc-
ton of LiebleT & Co.. and was at once
pronounced by both press and public a
distinct success, and fully measured I'D
to THE Squaw Man." of which the new
play is the sequel. There was much in
terest manifested as TO how Mr.. ROyie
would take up the thread of that popu-
lar play and weave new interest in the
characters. Only two characters from
THE Squaw Man" are preserved, and
these are shown twenty years older
than in the earlier play. They are Big
Bill. the ranchman, first played by
George Fawcett, and Little Hal, the
half-breed Indian boy. now shown as a
man of 26- This is the part created by
II. B. Warner. the son of the late
Charles Warner, who is thus promoted
to stellar honors by Liebler & Co. be
cause Of his service as leading man
with Eleanor Robson the past four
years.

This last is on the day of the great boat
race between the Harvard crew and
picked eight from England. The girls
brother, Gerand Thorne, is the stroke oar
of the college crew At the last moment
he is told of his sisters departure. He
leaves the race to save the girl. Tom
Brown is placed at stroke, and through
his effort the race is won.
At the height Of his triumph Thorne re-
turns and denOunces the .'stuck-up'' stu
dent, as he is pleased to call him, as the
guilty party, showing the check with
Browns name attached. Everything is
explained in the end. but the cOmplica-
tons are many. During the whole of the
four acts the interest is intense, the seem
cry is of the best, and every player en-
ters into the spirit of the play. There
are particularly good parts for Miss
Douglas, Messrs. Rennie, Alcine. Moore
Thorn. Allen. Booth. Wright, Raymond
and the Misses Outtrim, Dainty, Rich
ards, Fryer and Stone. Quite a number
of extra people are also used. There will
be a special matinee Thanksgiving Day

NEW sHuRERT THEATRE.

The coming of Liebler & company's
production of 1.-The Man from Home" to
the Shubert theatre next Wednesday

as the syndicate houses. The coming of
THE Man from Home is the first west
ern evidence of the much discussed al
lance between Liebler & Co. and the

and many new ones added. Inc run Is
fast and furious; the music bright ana
the words of the songs are lnStantane-

the gallery, but from those in the lower
part of the house as well. John l.. kear-

has every opportunity for showing his
wonderful versatility and cleverness. his
