THE PALMY DAYS OF YORE"-
Walter Wilson. whose clever impersona-
ton of Col. Starbottle in "Salomy Jane"
at the Columbia Theater the past week
was one Of the chief charms of the pro-
duction. although young in years-onIy
thirty-fve-has nevertheless had a stage
experience OF twenty-six years. He began
his career at nine years of age and dur
ing the interim says he has played more
than 800 parts.
Reminiscing a few days ago, he gave
utterance to the following facts and fam
cies that may be of interest to those who
love best the palmy days Of yore'' in
theatrical matters:
Il have lived and played with actors
nearly all my life and l must confess
those 'palmy days fail to enthuse me-
Whenever ] hear one of my profession

Ing, with him. or at him, just as the
case demands l am one who believes
the art of acting has very materially
advanced. Why, back in those old palmy
days where was the company, no matter
how great its personnel. that ever dream
ed OF making such productions as are
offered weekly at the Columbia Theater?
In those old days the scenery was a joke.
II made no difference IL the play were
Uncle Toms Cabin or The Merchant
Of Venice the usually six old stage set
tfngs had to do duty for both. Now We
md the regular house sets worked over
week after week for every kind of play
and each time infinitely better than they
used to have in the good old days for
the biggest productions on the road.
And the actors and actresses, Truly
they must have lived for their art alone.
In those old palmy days the established
figure for a leading man was $21 a week
and he had to be pretty good one to
get even that. George Chaplin. in his
day one Of the greatest of matinee idols
at De Bars Theater in ST. Louis. drew
that figure for years. Finally when his
