Cawthorn, German Come
dian, Is Not a German

Joseph Cawthorn. the broken dialect
expert. who will be seen at the National
this week with Julia Sanderson and Dom
aid Brian in 'tSybil,'' takes considerable
pride in the fact that although he is
probably the foremost German comedian
on the American stage, he is English by
descent and as far as he knows cannot
trace a drop of German blood in his
veins. no matter how far back ne goes.
Mr.. Cawthorn was born in New York
City. but his parents and all of his
brothers and sisters were born in Lon
don. England. He made his first stage
appearance at the age of three years and
three months at Robinson's Hall on West
Sixteenth street, New York. with what
was then known as the Piccaniny Min
strels. and has been hard at 1t ever since
Although Mr.. Cawthorn gets all Of his
laughs from his German dialect he can
not speak a word of the language. His
father, Alfred Cawthorn. was a stock
broker. both in London and New York,
and made and lost three big fortunes.
His last failure was the cause Of Joseph
going on the stage to help make a living
for the family.

Golden-voiced AL. IL. Wilson will
come to the Majestic this afternoon
and evening with his annual message
of melody and romance, when he will
present an elaborate revival of what
has always been considered by theatre
goers in general as his best play,
"When Old New York Was Dutch. -
Mr.. Wilson has often asserted that in
no other play has he been able to strike
deeper tone of response from his au-
diences, or stir more tender heart chords
that he has with this quaint offering
that carries one back through history s
pages to the early Colonial days of New
York City. AS will be remember, for
the proper presentation of "When Old
New York Was Dutch,' and to give
the different scenes the proper ''atmos-
phere,' considerable scenery is re-
quired. This season Manager Ellis has
provided additional sets that will great
ly increase the interest in the perform
ance. During the performance Mr.. Will

CHAPTER v.
Back to Life.

Back to Life.
The two days between Prone and
Rangoon were distinctly memorable
| for the subtle changes wrought In the
man and woman. Those graces of
| mind and manner which had once been
the mans began to find expression.
Physically, his voice became soft and
mellow; his hands became full of en-
phasis; his body grew less and less
clumsy, more and more leonine. The
blunt speech the irritability in argu-
ment, the stupid pauses, the painful
study of cunning phrases, the suspi-
cion and reticence that figuratively en-
crust the hearts of shy and lonely men,
these vanished under her warm If care
less glances.
II the crust of barbarism Is thick
that Of civilization Is thin enough. As
Warrington went forward Elsa stopped
and gradually went back, not far, but
far enough to cause her to throw down
the bars Of reserve, to cease to guard
her impulses against the invasion Of
interest and fascination. She faced the
truth squarely. The man fascinated
her. He was like portrait with fol-
lowing eyes. She spoke Familiarity Of
her affairs always omitting Arthur;
she talked Of her travels, of the ia
nous people she had met, of the won
derful pageants she had witnessed. It
was not her fault that, with the ex-
ception Of Martha, who didn't count,
they two were the only passengers.
This condition of affairs was directly
cnargeable to fate; and oerore the
boat reached Rangoon, Elsa was quite
willing to let fate shift and set the
scenes how 1t would.
The phase that escaped her entirely
was this, that had he not progressed
she would have retained her old poise,
the old poise of which she was never
again to be mistress. 1t is the old
tale-sympathy to lift up another first
steps down. And never had her SYM
pathy gone out SO quickly to any NOR
tai. Elsa had horror of loneliness,
and this man seemed to be the living
presentment of the word What strug-
giles, and how simply he recounted
them! What things he had seen, what
adventures had befallen him, what ro-
nance and mystery! She wondered
If there had been a woman in his life
and II she had been the cause of his
downfall. Everv day of the past ten
