capacities as material of which to construct
the role she was to act, and composed the
piece with the view of enhancing the EFF
fects" that role provided. He discussed the
character and scenes with the actress.
Her work often began with the inception
and was woven into the fabric. AS they de-
veloped the stage setting and management
of the scenes he had written, he often tried
out effects with his little dolls to test the
groupings and movements, especially in re-
gard to bringing the accessory characters
into right relation with the principal ones.
1t was a means of saving time and nerves
over the first crude feeling about for the
stage management. What was blocked out
was often entirely changed at rehearsal.
M SARDOU was dictatorial in way, but
AA' exceedingly humble in other respects.
He would listen to anybody, greedily getting
impressions wherever he could trust their
on an old 0u5veuse, who busted herself polish
ing up the seats during rehearsals, and with
childish simplicity listened eagerly to her re-
marks. What use he made of those i'm
preSSionS" is another matter.
One brilliant exception to the undesirable
ity of cut and dried or marionette method
might be thought to be shown in Mr. Pin
ero, who stage-manages his own plays and
arrives at the theater not only with move
ments and positions arranged, but suggests
to the actors their means of portrayal what
the tone of voice must be, what facial ex-
preston is required, and how to convey it,
in fact the whole gesture of the part. He
looks always for certain personality to en-
body a character. With the right man or
woman he can do anything if they are but
docie enough, and his contention has been
proved again and again. But this author
takes care to use the best acting material
developing it, if necessary. Mr. Pinero is an
actor as well as an author, and much of his
play writing is play acting double art.
The stage directions of Mr.. Bernard Shaw
are full and quantity devised, an integral
part of his play, the witty exposition of his
aim, bringing the actors at once into good
fellowship with the author, trapping them in
the delightful illusion that they too are scin-
tillating.
The author and the actors are the source
of the acted play. The whole complicated
system of what is called the production finds
its true value only when the magic Of its re-
sources of architecture, music, costume, color,
light, and all stage managing service is con-
trolled if not directly called forth, by the
plays chief protagonists interpreting the
author according to their best understand
ing of him or to the lights he gives them.
When all is done, it is the actors and the
actresses who must breathe the fire of life
into the staged play-or it remains a dead
thing with all its gorgeous "pomp and cir
cumstance.'

in English requires careful training and ex-
perlenCe, with perhaps special aptitude
and physical endowment for that kind of
work.
IN French the difficulty is still greater,
with the long monotonous line, which the
actor must be able to speak in a single
breath if necessary, as the smallest elision
or break in the wrong place would give the
verse more feet than could stand in it, or
would curtail it and lame it villainously.
The attitude, both physical and mental,
must be simple and noble, with severe re-
stralnt OF gesture.
In these French limitations of the Greek
and Roman classics there is elegance and re-
striction in regard to method of expression
not found in the tragedies of Sophocles, in
which Nature itself is unleashed in all it's
terror, unself-conscious, searching out the
human soul for its woe, unabashed.
French actors, in their rendition of Sopho-
Giles, invented methods freer and more primal
than those employed in acting French TRACE
dy. Only utterly free and untrammeled
could actors control and guide their resources
in the portrayal of these roles. The same is
true of Shakespeare, and only actors capable
through temperament and art of throwing
those vast conceptions from the furnace of
their soul redhot, could portray them under
any conditions. To such the presence of
puppet wires pulled by others would cause
only dismay and confusion, and would fright
en- the very genius in them to death.
TWICE in Paris l came across the idea of
dolls in interesting connection.
The Theatre DIES Marionettes furnished
one of those occasions, and the other was

Sardou of the use he made of little dolls in
the course of staging his plays. The Theatre
DIES Marionettes was tiny stage with a tiny
auditorium, where for short time series
of poetical plays was given under quaint con-
ditions.
The immature scenery was perfect, and
the parts were taken by little wooden figures
beautifully and appropriately dressed, who
slid on and off the stage by wires worked
from the sides. Their gestures were limited
in character, though two lovers were able to
slap their arms recklessly round each others
necks, and one man could knock another's
hat off if comedy required. An unseen man
read the verses, sometimes well. Some of
the best poets of the time wrote plays for the
marionettes, whose success de cnyi0sit6 drew
the fine folk of Paris, from the fashionables,
the poets, the painters and musicians, to
CaDlnet ministers, Ambassadors, and, L
think, Presidents, who looked in at the tiny
theater while the fad lasted. to smile at the
little dolls, sometimes almost to shed with
them furtive tear. That was Partisan,
amusing, titillating, to the susceptibiities.
The most interesting doll story was told
to me by NJ. Sardou of the use he made of
them. He had a board into which he stuck
these little wooden figures and played with
them sometimes as he was working out
scenes. The world comedies that M. Sardou
was passed master in stage mechanism and
plastique. He talked to me of the plays he
wrote for Madame Bernhardt. He used her

MAN AT LARGE
 WITH SMALLPOX
MRS. BLICKENSDERFER, NOTED PHILANTHROPIST TELLS NEW
 HAVEN AUTHORITIES THAT STAMFORD OFFICIALS SENT ITALIAN OUT BEFORE CURED.

New Haven. Jan. 8.-Strange devel- opments in connection with the case of August Hornez, the French cook who has been for several days con fined at the pest house here for fear he was developing smallpox and devel- op1nents that do not put the health authorities of the city of Stamford in the best light occurred yesterday when a woman giving her name as Mrs. William Blickensderfer of that city came to this city and told Health Off, ficer Wright a very unusual story. She claimed that an Italian, whom she was acquainted with through her phil anthropic work among the Italians in Stamford, which is her home, had been i'll with smallpox at the pest house in that city and that Hornez had been his cook. An attempt was made, ac- cording to Mrs. Blickensderfers story. to send the man to New York about a week and a half ago but the railroad company refused to carry him for fear of spreading disease among the pes sengers. Mrs. Blickensderfer told pr. Wright yesterday that she had been in7 formed by one of the Stamford author itieS that the Italian had not been com pletely recovered for while all the scabs had gone from his face and body he still had some on his feet. Neverthe- less, she states. he was taken from the pest house and sent away from Stam- IOrQ ana ms WnefedDOuCS are now On- known.
 Mrs. Blickensderfer came to this city because, on account of hearing that Hornez was here. she thought, since the Italian had rot been able to get to New York, he might have been sent east and might have come here also and might be at large in this city where there is such a large Italian colony.
 Mrs. Blickensderfer declared she knew the Italian W as not in the Stam- ford pest house and is sure he has been sent out of town. She also states the physician, and nurse as well as the cook were also sent away. HorneZ when he arrived Eere had papers show ing he had only been discharged three days before from the pest house at Stamford.
 Dr. Wrifht notified the detective bu- reau to be on the lookout for any re- port of a sick Italian from out of town Superintendent of Charities F'rohlich, under whose care Hornez now is, is also interested in the case and expressed himself very strongly against the authorities. whoever are responsible, who allowed the Italian to leave Stamford or who sent him away before he had fully recovered
 So far as Hornez's condition is con- cerned Dr. Wright has had him under constant watch and examination and has reached the conclusion that he has no smallpox and could safely be dis charged. This is concurred in by an

GIRL KILLED, OTHERS
 INJURED IN COASTING

White Plains. N. Y.. Jan. S.-In a coastiffg accident on the Church Street hill last evening one young woman was killed, another taken dy- ing to the White Plains Hospital, and two young men suffered injuries which may result mortally.
 The dead girl is Miss Mary Ballard, a teacher. She was killed instantly. The injured are Miss Gladys E. Tob- ey. teacher. (mortally.) taken to the White Plains Hospital: Edwin c. Moran, student, perhaps mortally hurt, taken to his home; Robert Banks, contusions, taken home.
 The accident was caused by flexi- ble sled, upon which the four were riding. colliding with an electric light pole at the foot of the hill. The party had ridden down the hill sev- fral times, and were on their last trip when the accident occurred. Miss Ballard occupied a seat on the front of the sled, Miss Tobey sat next to her, Moran had the third place, and Banks was on the back steering.

TUNNEL VICTIMS
 BODY IS FOUND
F1NkELSTEIN TRAPPED IN HIS OWN PIT AND PLOT TO ROB BANK AND DIAMOND STORE MISERABLE FAILURE

! New York. Jan. 8.-After digging for more than twenty-four hours work
 men last night at 11:40 o'clock lifted the body of Isaac Finkelstein of 55 l Ludlow street out of the secret pass
 age which he had dug from the unoc cunied building at 5 Ludlow street out into the street toward the East Side Branch of the Fourteenth Street Bank. Late in the afternoon the feet of the dead man had been found in, the bur row to which the Building Department workmen had dug their way from the street level. They had to expand the opening in the street to get the body out.
 At 11:2e o'clock last night the work men were so near the body that they stopped swinging their shovels and hands.
 Finkelstein was found lying on his right side with his knees slightly bent, as though he had been trying to crawl back to get air when he was buried by the eave-in. His right hand was at his right ear. and his left hand was drawn up almost to his chin. The victim was dressed in his working clothes. just as he had left home at o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, when he told his wife he proposed go- ing to the cellar of the building next door to get klndl1ng WOOd. Tne DOuy was taken to his home. where his weeping wife identified it.
 The body was directly under the sec ond shaft sunk. so that the snoring on the south side cut off all but the legs to the knees. The only way to get the body out was to sink 8, third shaft south of the one where the feet were found.
 The police are now working ons the theory that more than one man was concerned in the burglary plot, and that the object was more likely the jewelry store than the bank. Yet so tortuous is the narrow tunnel that whatever their number and character it is plain the diggers knew little of their work.
