WHEN IRVING PLAYED ROMEO
eiIenee, Light and Actors, the Three
Things Necessary for Artistic e.
foot and Atmosphere.

Wendell Phillips Dodge relates an
incident growing out of the first meet
ing of Robert Mantell with Sir Henry
Irving, back in 1882, when both were
playing Romeo in London. There were
reviewers who found Irving too old
for the youthful Romeo, and one ad-
vised that he should make way for
"the young fellow over at the Olym-
pic" Irving prepared special aft
ernoon performance in the Lyceum, to
which all the players in London were
invited. After 1t was over, Mantell
went back Of the stage, and Irving ask
ed him how he liked the performance.
1T has been like an afternoon at
school with congenial lessons" replied
Mantell. How do you do It? How
do you manage effects? How do you
get such atmosphere, such realiza-
ticr Of the glory Of the tragedy. with
such little effort? Is there no recipe?
There is; indeed there u.s. answer
ed Irving. simple, too; only three
things to remember. The first is ST.
lence, and plenty OF 1t behind the
scenes, so that the actor may be at
ease, with nothing to distract when
striving for his shadings. The second
is light. regulated as far as possible SO
that nature is counterfeited-and that.
young man, is the recipe"
But" protested Mantel, "you said
there were three things to remember;
you have mentioned but two. Is there
third?"
did l say third?" asked Irving.
"Um, perhaps l did, perhaps did;
but what could have had in mind?
Let me see. All, yes, silence. light,
and-um, shall say-Hactors? Re-
member that, my boy, actors. Silence,
light, and-actors, that is the third

Sydney Smith on Music.

There is a story, which we have not

once saying that he never had seen "a
more degrading spectacle than that of

Gladys, the eight-year-old daugh-

the Rio Grande tracks on Columb ia
street, ran screaming from the tent
at about noon on Monday, and other
members of the family in the yard

little one a perfect blaze. They
hastened to the rescue and smoth-
cred the flames, but not, however,
until fully one-half of the child S
body was badly burned.
Gladys was alone at play in the
tent and it is thought her clothing
caught fire from the kitchen range
in some manner Local physicians
were promptly summoned to the
scene and did everything possible to
delay the suffering of the child and
to dress her burns. She is still in
a serious condition and fears of
serious results are still entertained.
