TONY PASTOR AS SANTA.
Veteran Actor Was the Friend of the
Stage Children.

Veteran Actor Was the Friend Of the
Stage Children.
There are at present engaged in diff
ferent capacities on the stage and In
the theaters about 400 children to
whom the holidays usually are days
of toll, and many of these little folks
are breadwinners for younger broth
ers and sisters. 1t was for them that
the late Tony Pastor and his wife,
Mrs. E. L. Fernandez, and Aunt
Louisa" Eldridge, now dead. inaugu-
rated the Christmas festival which
has become perennial affair.
The little ones, all less than twelve
years old, provide the stage entertain
ment on these occasions, and there
never is any interference by the au-
thorities. Christmas, 1907, was Tony
Pastors last appearance as the chill
dren's Santa Claus, and this year they
will miss his genial face and kindly at
tentions. Last year he was master Of
ceremonies and introduced his tiny
top liners" At the end Of the act he
presented to each of the girls beau
tifully dressed doll and to the boys
boxes of candy or appropriate toys.
Admission was by invitation only
and when the programme began the
house was crowded to the doors, the
balcony being given up largely to
poor children of the east side. Some
of the actors were mere babies, but
they went through the business like
veterans, and the gravity of most of
them when singing their comic songs
was immensely amusing.
One Of the players was presented as
Baby Esmond, a perfect cherub, who
piped a love ditty and danced with
one foot held in the air. Mr.. Pastor
said she was of this years crop" and
when she had ended the performance
he asked her to tell the audience her
age. Without shrinking from the ques-
ton, as her fellow actresses do, she
lisped, I'm be four next January"
Another of the same mature years
was Miss Miriam Jackson" If you
please. She came out with a Teddy
bear in her arms. sang a song and did
such clever capering that every wo-
man in the audience wanted to hug

the end of the programme Mr.. Pastor
announced that banquet was await
ing the children in the basement of
Tammany hall
After the little ones had been salts
fed in that respect they were sent up
to the main hall of the building, and
there the really big feature of the
evening took place On the stage
stood three Christmas trees. bending
over from the weight of pretty things,
while the stage itself was heaped with
toys.
After that there was a second dis
tribution for stage children only in the
committee room of Tammany hall.
Most of the children had written re-
quests for certain articles. and as they
appeared one by one and gave name
corresponding with that on Mrs. Fer
nandez's list the present asked for was
delivered. Some Of these were Of
costly quality, having been purchased
with money donated to the cause.
Mrs. Fernandez said the children Of
the stage nowadays ask for useful
things rather than for playthings.

it is estimated that more than $4,000

PortoRico's
Christmas
Few Stockings No Cainnneys

Christmas for the Americans in Por-
to Rico is pretty much the same, so
far as the observance of the day is
concerned. as Christmas at home or
anywhere else.
The chief difference is in those char
acteristics of the season that are due
to or are influenced by the weather,
which more nearly resembles that of
the Fourth of July than winter holt
day.
There is the same spirit of good
feeling. the same CHEEKY greeting, the
same happy experience for the little
people in the shape of gifts from San
ia Claus and that same more or less
sincere determination on the part of
their elders to forgive their enemies
which sometimes they do.
Among the natives Christmas day is
a church holiday only, and it is very
generally observed by them as such,
but it is not the occasion of family re-
unions nor the day of gifts, as with
us.
The Porto Rican family gatherings
occur and their Santa Claus makes his
appearance on the 9th of January
"El dia de los Reyes" or 1.-The day of
the kings" commemora ting the bring
ing of gifs.s to the infant Christ-but
Kriss Kringle manifestly does not come
down the chimney for the very good
reason that there are no chimneys to
Porto Rican houses and for equally
obvious reasons he does not bring his
reindeer nor his sleigh
Instead of hanging up their stock
ings the native children prepare a box
filed with grass to represent manager
and place it outside their doors on the
night of the 9TH of January, just as
the little Dutch children in Holland
put out their wooden shoes.
Christmas will always be church
holiday to the natives, and Ell dia de
los Reyes will also probably always
be observed by them. But the Porto
Rican is quick to pick up American
