THE REPORTER.
(Collier's Weekly.)


 Tugged by some centripeta1 force to wherever there is a clash of human passions, he is always Ion the spot Unlike his brother, the novelist, who fashions out of the furnace of his mind at painstaking intervals some finely modelled bit Of porcelain, the furnace Of this mans soul is always at full draft. Into it is flung day by day all the inf1ammable stuff of life-the mix ed ingredients of herois1n, murder, rev. olution, passionate love: And stead fly, tnexorab1y. it is poured out again, uncriticaI of itself, slag and ore, half dr-ivel and half literature. The rec onpense he works for Is to have his fellow workers say Good story" His only critic ttthe desk To-day yes terday's good story is lighting the morning fire in a thousand tenements. Anonymity, which guards him from self-consciouSness stands also mock ingly between him and fame. He snatches his friendships like his meals, as stokers must strike up their friend ships, between shifts when the Mau- retania is -'out for a record" Yet there is no freemasonry like his. From behind the scenes he makes the pup pets of the worlds stage dance for us But we can suspect his smile, as he surveys our antics, to be som ethdng between pity and contempt.

SOTHERN, B TO-DAY WILL
 RETIRE TWO YEARS HENCE

Edward Hugh Sothern, who is today eelebra ting his ffty-third birthday, and his talented wife, Julia Marlowe, have announced that they intend to retire two yeans hence, when the stage will lose two of its best ShakespeareaR artists. MT. Sothern has said that he intends to send his time after leavin g the theatre in travelling about the world and up and down in it and in writing his memoirs.

At the age of five Edward Hugh was taken His father wanted him to become a painter, but as young Sothern ap- preached manhood he showed a de- cided predilection toward following latter gave in. Tis first appearance on the boards was in 1873 at the Broadway Theatre in New York, and was far from being a success, as he collapsed with stage fright when he met his father on the stage. That ended his career on Broadway for a lie played low comedy parts with John Mccullough. The elder Sothern died in 1881, and Edward went to England to join his brother in a tour of the provinces.
 When he returned to America in 1883 the young actor was smitten with the aeaaay baetlus and mrots Baltimore stood for it a little while, and it lasted two weeks in New York and g. little longer in Boston. Several followed, but in 1887 he won success as 8 star in tsThe Highest Bidder'' and ,'Edith's Burglar" For several years New York, under the management of Daniel Frohman. In 1896 he married Miss Virginia Harmed, the actress. His ffy-cyf Vfarl< was made in 1900, and made decided success of that difficult role His as I1eIa zfs ta9n 6.1 with N,iea Julia Marlowe Miss began in 1904, when they were co-stars in Romeo and Juliet.'' His greatest fame has been won in Shakespearean roles with his wife as his able CO.,
 Both MT. Sothern and Miss Marlowe are hard and conscientious workers, and singular1y free from the eccen- tricities of the artistic tenlperannent.' They do not place mechanics above inspiration, but they insist that it tor and actress in a Sothern-Mar1owe production works on prearranged plan that takes into consideration ev- cry step: movement, gesture and Do- this mathematical precision, but they have not remained long in the com pany. First get che mechanics ''and then let inspiration spread it's wings and soar.' They insist that soaring is not safe unless the feet are on the ground, and exactly where they ought to be.

Sothern. ttIn working out the mechanics of a play everything must be absolutely premeditated groupings must not oe left to chance the motive of the author must be made elear-and things cannot be made clear unless they are understood and worked out with minute detail.
