The Second Maine was designated as
the Red army and was given the task of
preventing the Blue army, represented by
the First Vermont, from destroying
stores at a place called sterlingville. The
Vermonters got out Of camp and took up
their appointed station, being followed
shortly by the boys from Maine, who also
assumed their allotted position. Colonel
Estey then set out for the place where the
stores were located, leaving Major
Thomas and two companies to defend his
rear. The Red troops engaged in q hot

and placid severity with which our
friend, the Legitimate" actor, deigns
to attend the vaudeville show. He
goes, Of course, to learn as well as en-
Joy, for every actor is as willing to be
Instructed by his fellows as he some
times pretends not to be. But you
would never guess from his face that
he is doing other than casually admir-
ing the passing show. And this, when
we cease our unmannerly mirthi for a
moment and closely observe it, is a
very excellent thing. His very calling
gives the Legitimate" actor a peculiar
and innate dignity which redeems the
stage from any and every Puritan inn
putation of triviality. To act Is a
serious thing, even to act comically
1T is much more serious to play the
buffoon than to sell raisins or lay sew
ers or set type or write words. 1t gets
under the skin and into the blood
The careless people who speak of the
players as puffed up sometimes are
sheer slanderers. Even when they tell
the truth they do not take the trouble
to inquire into the reason for the phe-
nomenon. The actor is apt to be puffed
up, not with pride or notoriety, as Is
supposed, but from the sheer labor and
bulk of carrying so many characters
around inside of him. Multiply Jekyll-
Hyde by the number of weeks in a
stock season and you will begin to ap-
preciate the horrid truth.

in which the title character New
York woman of beauty and culture,
wins fame as writer, only to fall into
the hands Of an INSCRIPTIONS publish
er. To escape him, in thought, she has
recourse to drugs, under whose infiu-
ence she writes strange things, much
after the fashion of Coleridge and De
Quincy. There enters into her life a
good physician, who battles with the
publisher to save her from him and
with herself to save her from the
drugs. This Is the struggle of the
play; of the denouement we are not
informed, in advance. After a Mil
waukee premiere, this drama met
much popular success in New York.

acting but for the rich gowns worn

four-act play, "The Crisis dram
atized from his own novel, will be re-
vived by the stock company beginning
this afternoon and with the usual Sat
urday matinee. It's characters are in

VEL" an earlier novel of Revolutionary
days, once one of the six best sellers.
Isabel Irving used 1.-The Crisis as a
| starring vehicle, and since then it has
had many a successful stock produc-
| tion. The story is that of rival lovers
for the favor of Virginia Carvel, a
belle of ante-belLum st. Louis. For
two acts the play shadows dimly the
coming of that conflict. Then the
storm breaks and Miss Virginia finds
one of her admirers fighting for the
blue, the other for the gray. Her own
sympathies are with the south, but her
heart beats for the northern suitor.

BY w. HERBERT BLAKE

~ ONE day some one will write a
book on "The Therapeutics of
NJ Comedy" Not merely on the au-
dience. but even more on the player,
does the enactment of mirthful scenes
exert a salutary influence. Take the
most widely popular form of theatrical
entertainment, vaudeville, and the most
ancient and -, persistently surviving
of its attractions, acrobatics. 1t Is a
strenuous work, as viewed from the
wings, however facile may be the ma
neuvers from the orchestra chairs 1t
taxes the patience even more than the
muscles. and it is hard to prevent
the necessary smile from becoming
mechanical What does the acrobat
do to meet this dilemma? By natu-
raj instinct he resorts to comedy. He
kicks his youthful assistant. none too
gently, and then chaSeS him around
the stage. Then he comes back to the
main business in hand, and succeeds
in doing what has just eluded the tired
grip of arms and legs. The respite has
put him in good humor and the game
becomes simple. He quits work for
a moment, and when he resumes 1t
he finds it magically transmitted into
child's play. A smile has wrought the
miracle.
Just as studied humor helps the actor
to be carelessly serious, parody lends
zest to earnest art. dare say more
people have been Won to an interest in
grand opera by it's burlesquing in
vaudeville than we have any idea of.
True parody retains enough of the es-
sence of the original to be interesting
as well as ludicrous. If some one
would only take to ridiculing Shake
speare, instead of yawning over him,
"Coriolanus' would enjoy a surprising
run and the streets would be glutted
with taxicabs bearing passionate pill
grims to the balcony of Juliet.
What parody is to art, art in a meas
ure is to nature. 1t is a travesty on
the original which intensifies while it
reproduces. AS haphazard example,
consider the minstrel man. He does
not act the negro in any bald and rea-
listic way. Under his thin white gloves
his hands are as pale as they, if some-
times not over clean. He parodies the
negro qualities, boldly selecting those
which are most humorously character
istic of that happy race. We might
fairly say that he is more of negro
than the born Ethiopian. He is an idea
of what the negro might have been If
nrogress had never bade him take
himself seriously. Yet it is q kindly
travestv and negroes enjoy 1T quite
as much as Caucasians. Some day an
educated negro actor should give an
audience of his fellow colofed cltizens
his humorous version of the white man.
II would be the true Caucasian whom
thew would see embodied in that case
tbe Caucasian of selective art, not OF
capricious and unreliable nature
Racial dignities and derisions are
petty things contrasted with the ornate
