ABOUT BAYEs AND NoRWoRTH

Fresh laurels are constantly being won
by jolly Jack Norworth and Nora Bayes.
who stand at the head of the list of stars
in the world of musical comedy and
vaudeville.
In addition to being the idols Of Broad
way and having accumulated a fortune
by their artistic and amusing efforts,
Bayes and Norworth are always reIiev-
ing the sorrows OF their less fortunate
comrades in this busy world.
few days before the recent celebra-
tiOn of Thanksgiving Day, Jack Nor
worth received an offer Of 5000 to give
a twenty-minute sketch at the clubhouse
OF the Freundschaft Society, in New
York. This offer was declined by the
actor. and it created much comment in
club circles.
The reason Mr.. Norworth refused the
offer was known only to Miss Bayes and
the unfortunate prisoners on BIackwells
Island.
Months ago Mr. Norworth received
letter from one Of the convicts on Black
wells Island, asking him to come TO the
prison on Thanksgiving Day and sing
some Of his famous songs. Mr.. Norworth
replied that II ne was in New York on
THANKSGIVING Day he would be glad TO
do il. Luckily. he was there. and, despite
appearing at a Thanksgiving Eve per-
formance and only securing a few hours
1
Day and went to the prison in a launch.
He entertained the prisoners at two per-
formances, and the reception he received
was a remarkable one. The warden al
lowed the prisoners to cheer, and Nor
worth was given an ovation that lasted
fully ten minutes.
A very artistic book has just been
issued by the popular couple, dealing
with their careers, and it is profusely
Illustrated On alternate pages are TO
he found epigrams composed by Nora
Rayes. and some Of the proverbs are
from the prolific pen Of Jack Norworth
Here are some Of the Bayes and Nor
worth gems Of thought:
Actors are not always as good as they
say they are. That Is why We print our
press notices"
Every dog has his day. and every
actress has her dog"
If we knew on which side our bread
was buttered, We would know how TO
drop it,
I'VE have never swiped silverware or
towels from a hotel in our lives, but-we
always live at home"
I'VE have received several adverse
criticisms from different critics at vari-
GUS times, but-we shall not publish
them.
Isn't It funny nobody ever shows you
the good newspaper 'write-ups' about
yourself, but somebody always shows
YOU the bad ones"
I'VE found this one to-day when Il was
raining: That much discussed couple,
Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth, were
the chief players, and they were simply
great"
"A word to the wise is unnecessary"
Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth have
worked their way up the ladder Of fame
by hard and persistent effort. The songs
they have composed are known all over
the world, and include such fRvorites
as Honey Boy" Down Where the
Wuerzberger Flows Has Anybody
Here Seen Kelly" Caroline" Take
Me Out TO the Ball Game" Turn on
Your Light. Mr.. Moonman," &c. They
have composed more than two hundred
songs. Ncra Bayes furnishing the melo-
dies ana Jack Norworth writing the
lyrics.

Won Bulow is the head. IAszt and Tau
sig are the hands, Rublnstein is the
heart" The German school of piano
'playing has stood in general for what
may be called draughtsmanship-the un-
impeachable line-the art OF playing
with such regard for the outlines Of the
various tonal masses, and such bringing
out of the relations between the inte-
grail parts OF the musical forms, that the
chief emphasis has been laid on draw
ing, rather than on color. Indeed. In
the art of Busoni IA German pianist In
all but his name), We find most won
derful effects of tonal perspective,
where musical themes appear in fore
ground, underground and background.
and the lines are az perfect as In q
Whistler etching. But the development
OF color charm in modern piano-playing
which was given eloquent pronounce
ment by Ignace Paderewskl twenty
years ago is the art par excellence Of
to-day-even more Of tomorrow. And
Harold Bauer is its great expositor. I'm
der his astonishing variety of touches
the plano is made ''to glow with more
colors than the rainbow" Not crude
colors-but subtle. For his is the art
Of values, and in that he is so consum-
mate a master Of tonal values lies his
first great claim upon our interest and
admiration

Mrs. Fiske on Plays.

When the announcements were first
made that Mrs. Fiske would produce a
new comedy called Mrs. Bumpstead-
Leigh" there was considerable curiosity
concerning the play, and in soRe way
the impression became current in critical
circles that Mrs. Fiske herself considered
the play a successor TO that stage mas
terpiece. Becky Sharp" A prominent
drar1S~r reviewer wrote TO Mrs. Fiske
and s.,s.-N ssSssF Tor some information about
the new work. particularly how she came
20 discover II. and what her opinion Of
it was, relatively. compared with Becky"
In reply she wrote: -s- - --
Il suppose I read about one hundred
plays every year-perhaps more-and sew
eraI hundred plays q year are read for
us by our play readers. Among these
hundreds Of plays we occasionally ind
one that seems to US entirely worthy of
production. II IS q rare discovery; gold
in n mine Is common compared with the
finding of dramatic material in the thou
sands of manuscripts submitted. When
we hnd a play worthy OF production it
seems very wonderful to US. lmmedl-

Il was a play to produce. The author.
Edward Sheldon, was not received with
any particular encouragement or well

in New York, but the fact remains that
Mr.. Sheldon Is now, perhaps. the most
important dramatic author in America.
And this by right OF his true ability.
He is working and advancing steadily.
and Will probably attain more than he
himself knows.

is going TO write plays, who will undoubt-

comedy, and quite an extraordinary play

Sothern and MarloWe Plays.

SOI44I4A anu 41oAAOnC
For the Z. H. Sothern and Julia Mar
lave engagement at the Belasco Theater
week beginning February L. they will
present their entire Shakespearean rep
ertoire OF seven plays. This year, con-
trary to their usual custom, Sothern and
Marlowe will, by adding a Wednesday
matinee, give eight performances dur
ing the week. The repertoire for the
week will be as follows: Monday night,
Tanning of the Shrew;'' Tuesday night,
Macbeth" Wednesday matinee, Romeo
and Juliet" Wednesday night, THE
Merchant OF Venice" Thursday night,
Twelfth Night" Friday night, HAM
Iet;" Saturday matinee, las You Like
It. and Saturday night, Macbeth"
By the above arrangement OF the plays,
II will be seen that Macbeth" which
will be presented on Tuesday and satur-
day nights, will be the only play that
will be repeated during the week. II
will be noticed also that there is a nice,
even balance between comedy and trag-
sdy-a comedy one night, a tragedy the
next. In former times II was Sothern
and Marlowe's custom to begin their
engagement with a tragedy, usually ''Ro-
meo and Juliet or Macbeth" The two
plays which they will give this year. but
were not seen when Sothern and Mar
lowe last appeared in this city, are 'As
You Like It" and Twelfth Night" The
management has arranged to file mail
orders In order OF their receipt, so that
theatergoers may be able to secure the
seats they desire without waiting in line
at the box once.

An Appreciation of the
PianiSn1 of Harold Bauer

The city Of Washington has been privi-
legged during the past week TO hear a
piano recital which may be said TO be
epoch-marking. That ''the old order
changeth' is to-day apparent in all lines
Of human activity, but It was needful
that an exposition OF the new art OF
piano playing be vouchsafed US by SO
convincing a path-maker as Mr.. Harold
Bauer before we should fully realize the
latter day developments and tendencies
Of this beautiful art.
For music, which has always been
closely in. touch with the underlying
moods, thoughts, and spiritual aspira-
tions Of its age, Is to-day evolving new
expressions. consonant with the changing
times, and the art OF piano playing seems
to be making toward new goals. To hear
Mr.. Bauer is TO hear this fact demon
strated.
Piano playing, once regarded as pri-
mariIy a function Of the fingers and the
training of the finger muscles Tor inde-
pendence and equality as the chief de-
sideratum, has within the last ten years
been treated on its technical side ac-
cordinE to a new principle, which at
tempts to shift the action from the
small muscles Of the fingers and to de-
rive technique from the arm. In the
work Of the great pianists, of whatever
school, is found the free and natural
movement Of the arm as the source OF
technique. But the physical aspect Is
but one side Of the case; still more char
acteristic are the psychologtcal and
aesthetic aspects.
'.The piano, which was a prattIing
babe under the Scarlatti. singing boy
under Mozart, and a prophet and seer
under Beethoven" has had among its
master players many interpretattve ar
lists of such varied gifts that the say
ing has long been current. ITO play the
piano requires head, hands. and heart;
