COMING ATTRACTIONS.

William Faversham will present his
new play, THE Faun," by Edward
Knoblauch. at the Belasco Theater next
week This play has proved an impor-
tant dramatic novelty of the season. In
this drama, Mr.. Faversham impersonates
a faun, the same being the god of the
shepherd. This particular faun happens
to wander out of the woods and fields
his natural element-into London. He is
discovered by a certain Lord Stonebury
bathing in a huge vase in the garden of
his house. He is first thought to be a
tramp or some other obnoxious person,
enjoying bath Lord Stonbury is very
soon made right on the subject, with the
result that he provides the faun with an
ulster for his nakedness and brings him
into the house. The two enter INTO an
agreement, with the result that the faun
is dressed up as a human being and
makes his debut into society. 1t may be
easily imagined that the dramatist has
been able to evolve from so propitious a
beginning a play of very considerable
novelty. interest, and charm. This new
play offers Mr.. Faversham a role vastly
different from anything that he has i'm
personated up to date.

Since the success of "The Maestro's
Masterpiece there has been decided
movement TO exploit plays which COM
bine both the dramatic and operate ele-
ments. Arthur Hammerstein is the pio-
aeer in this field and to him alone is due
the credit of this rare combination which
places before the public an offering
which partakes of such delightful dual
nature. It was an experiment. which
was watched with keen interest by the
whole theatrical world, and when the
news of it's success upon the occasion OF
its first presentation in Boston was
flashed 10 all parts of the United States

In ''Everywoman." which Henry w
Savage sends to the Belasco this week,
the character OF Nobody, which vies in
interest with the titular role itself, is
played by H. Cooper Cliffe, who, by rea-
son of his long experience and training
in the legitimate drama, is especially
equipped for the intricate role in Mr..
Brownies symbolic drama. The charac-
ter of Nobody is described as a whimsi-
cal, cynical sardonic, and somewhat
mystical figure. He delivers the prelude
and epilogue and is one of the dominant
characters throughout the five canticles
of the drama
H Cooper Cliffe comes of old theatri-
cal stock. His mother was Agnes kem-
BILE, whose grandfather was Stephen
Kemble, brother of John Phillip, Charles,
and the famous Mrs Siddons.
Mr. Cliffe, curiously enough, began his
theatrical career in the chorus of Pima

study for the late Richard Mansfield in

sergeant of police in The Pirates of Pen

late Wilson Barrett to replace E. S. Will

number of years, playing such parts as

1t was he that persuaded Trentini to
enter the light opera field and the little
cantatrice naturally regards him as her
mascot. When ''The Maestro's Master
piece" was produced in Boston she called
up Arthur Hammerstein on the long
distance telephone from the New York
theater where she was playing to con-
gratulate him As she spoke over the
wire the applause which greeted the fall
of the curtain at the end Of the first act
came to her over the wire, and in the
excitement of listening to it she forgot
her cue and remained at the telephone
so long that slight stage wait was oc-
casioned.
With little cry the prima donna
rushed ON the stage and took up the
music Of her song. She was three meas
ures late. she afterward said. but she
made up the vocal deficit by adding a
number OF high notes and triils which
we're not in the score. In speaking OF
the incident, she said: THE applause
from Boston was so loud and long that

ORIGIN OF "THE FAUN."
How Edward Knoblauch Came to
Write This Play for Faversham.


Write This Play for Faversham.
Some day some enterprising dramatic
bibliophile will write book on the
origin of famous plays. 1t will then be
discovered that very many Of the big
and important dramas in the English
language had their origin in what might
seem some trivial incident Of life. The
dramatist, ever on the lookout for ma
terial, very often takes the little acorn
of incident which, evolved in his brain,
becomes a sturdy dramatic oak This
hypothesis is especially applicable to Ed
ward KnobIauch's play THE Faun,"
which he has written for William Faver-
shams use, and which he will present
at the Belasco Theater next week.
When Julie Opp, who in private life is
Mrs. Faversham, was leading lady of
George Alexander's COMPANY, in Lon
don, she became well acquainted with
Mr.. Knoblauch, who. although an Amer
| lean, has made his home in London dur
| ing the past dozen years or more A
son having been born to Mr.. and Mrs.
| Faversham, Mr.. knoblauch was invited
| to the christening The dramatist had
never met Mr.. Faversham up to this
time. Going through the old world gar
dens of Mr.. Favershams summer home,
the old manor at Chiddingfold, Surrey,
| England, he suddenly saw in the distance
a man who made him think of the old
| world faun, so full of natural sponta-
niety and charm of the earth. This gay
! person was playing with a group of chill
dren. His clothes were covered with
leaves and he was hiding behind trees
to amuse them. The dramatist turned
| to Mrs. Faversham and asked, who is
| that?'' Mrs. Faversham replied, THAT
is my husband
! Then and there. Mr.. Knoblauch de-
| clares, was born an idea that he should
write a play that should suit William
Faversham from the side of his nature
which the public has not seen-the gay
and fantastic Favershan. For some time
Mr.. Fayersham did not hear anything of
Mr.. Knoblauch, but last season, when he
was appearing in New York, Mr.. Knob
LAUGH came to him one night and said
Il have come with the play that you in
spired; here it is. 1t is called The
Faun. Mr.. Faversham read il, and
so deeply impressed was he with the
originality and charm of Mr.. Knob
LAUGHS drama that he Immediately en-
tered into a contract with him for its
production.

It is somewhat Of a coincidence that
Dustin Farnum, Chase's chief star this

might be termed vaudeville, and now
after the lapse of years returns to the
same sphere, only it is refined and popu-
lar to a degree beyond comparison with
the earlier form. His initiation into
stage life occurred when he and his
brother William, also an actor now, were
attending school in Bucksport, Ne, where
their parents then resided. Still another
brother, Marshall, is also a thesplan.
During the summer months one year
Dustin and William did a singing spe-
cfalty with the Thomas Shea repertoire
