ACT WITHOUT WORDS
Old Art of Pantomime Has
Gained in Popularity.
George L. Fox and "Rumpty Dumpty"
ecalled-London's Regular An
nual Revival-ls a Novelty
in America.

New York.-Gesture- refine
ment of action-is perhaps the oldest
form of expressing emotion, and just
now there seems to be tendency to
revive the old art of pantomime. With
the English the pantomime play is an
institution, with Americans it is al
most a novelty. Our older generation
of theater-goers, however, can recall
'Humpty Dumpty," in which Goody
Two-Shoes. Old One-Two, Tommy
Tucker and Humpty Dumpty became
famous
For tho true love neer did run
smooth, I'm told,
All will end we'll where true hearts.
like yours, are gold"
What a satisfying couplet to come
from fairy queen after the opening
vicissitudes of the wordless play.
Perrot, Arlecchino, Pantalene and
Columbine were characters in Italian
masque plays of the middle ages. An
incoherent plot was strung together
to embrace acrobatics and ballet dan
cling. 1t was 400,years later that the
descendants of the italian quartet ap-
peared before an American audience.
Plots of the older pantomime plays
were simple and fantastic, Without
speech there must be swiftness of ac-
tion to sustain interest The story of
"Humpty Dumpty," whose popularity
began in the spring of 1868, when
George L. Fox played the great clown
at the Olympic theater in this city,
is good example of pantomimic plot.
Goody and Tommy were rustic lovers
and were forced to make love in Sc
cret. Old One-Two was the guardian
of Goody, and at the beginning of the
play comes upon the pair and threat
ems punishment. Humpty appears to
take away the ugly guardian in his
wheelbarrow
Then the good fairy appears to de-
liver her hopeful couplet about true
love and changes the characters into
Columbine, Pantaloon, Harlequin and
Clown. Tommy Tucker becomes the
symbolizing Jealousy, blue for love.
red for passion. black for death Har-
lequin is given a magic hat and a
mask to make him invincible. Old
One-Two, for offense against true love,
is put in the power of Humpty's
tricks, Humpty becoming the clown of
the harlequinade. Such was Humpty,
who has gone where.
"All the kings horses and all the
kings men
Can never put Humpty together
again."
Pantomime is a distinctly different
art from that of acting. Some of the
clowns of the day who are pantomim-
lists are Adams, Ravel, Melville. Mar
celine, Miaco A pointed finger must
often tell the whole story The most
difficult task in pantomime is to
mimic animals The animal costume
does not suffice. close study of ami
NAL movements is necessary.
Without speech an actor is wholly
ineffective unless he can express his
thought and emotion by facial express
sion. manner and gesture The nice
ties and gradations of feeling until
lately have not been considered within

WILD DOGS MENACED PARI
Serious Situation That Became One Q
the Worst Features Of Reign
of Terror.

So many startling events happenel
from day to day during the Reign q
Terror that the apparition of wild dog

MISS GOULD'S HENS
Fine FIoCkS OF Chickens Bid De-
fianCe to Egg Trust.
Product of Two Thousand Prize Birds
at Tarrytown Farm More Than
Owner Can Use-Many Are
Sold to the Trade.

New York.-There may be 10000.
600 eggs in cold storage in New Jer
sey or anywhere else, but Miss Helen
Miller Gould can snap her fingers and
forget about it, for she owns one OF
the finest poultry farms in New York
state, writes a Tarrytown correspond
ent. The establishment OF this farm
has proved Miss Gould to be a good
business woman, for it is practically
self-sustaining. This is an added COM
fort to the convenience OF having
fresh eggs when you want them and
as many as you want
Miss Gould decided about year
ago that she wanted a poultry farm
to free herself from any egg trust.
She has most capable superintend-
ent in Archibald Robbie, and upon
him devolved the work OF carrying
out the plans. Miss Gould has plenty
of land, and the site selected for the
chicken farm was on the property on
the White Plains road. east of Mead
ow street.
Only two breeds are housed on the
farm-white Leghorns and Wyan-
dottes. Miss Gould tries to keep the
number up to 1000 Just now 1t is
below that figure, but the incubators
will be started soon and a large num-
ber OF broilers are planned for the
spring. The farm provides Miss
Gould with all the eggs she wants at
all times. 1t also provides broilers,
chickens for roasting, squads, capons
and ducks. In the spring. when the
egg harvest is greatest. Miss Gould
often finds that she has more eggs
than she can use.
Following the policy that nothing
shall be wasted, these eggs are sent
to some grocery stores in Tarrytown,
where they are on sale as the Gould
estate eggs, and great is the demand.
These eggs bring the highest prices
and are sold quickly. That is why
there is such a demand for these eggs
by grocers.
The henhouses are built with every
convenience, proper ventilation and

plaster boards, but have tight board
wood finish which prevents dampness.
This wood is sprayed with whitening
once a week The floor is OF con-
crete, and about one and one-half
inches above the concrete is tight
board flooring.
A cottage adjoining the farm has
been built This is occupied by the
keeper. The chickens have to be fed
at regular periods and all the food is
selected with the idea OF getting max
imum results. A pond has been made
for the ducks.
AS to the egg production, no exact
figures are obtainable, but it Is said
that often a thousand are obtained in
a day Miss Gould is fond of chick
ems and the choicest stock is always
at her disposal The farm is one OF
the sights for a visitor to Lyndhurst.
1t has proved a great success, and
Miss Gould is very proud of it.

California Wine Cranes.

The fetal number of tons of wine
grapes handled by the wineries in
this, vicinity during the last season
reaches the surprising total OF 10000
tons, writes a Lodi correspondent. II
this 10000 tons of grapes had been
converted into sweet wine the total
number of gallons would approximate
100000. It would be safe to say
that at least 10 per cent. OF this ton
mage was converted into dry wines,
which would bring the number of gal
Ions up to a higher figure.
AS between table and wine grapes
the wine grape industry at the pres
ent time looks to be in the better
shape. At $40 ton for the common
variety of grapes a rancher can show
some profit. AS table grapes have
been selling for the last year or so
there is little or no profit in them.
