II is something to the credit Of a
l!brettist to write w such success
full pieces as chin chin" and The
Lady OF the slipper" and then that
feat IL accomplished by n oma
she seems deserving Of still greater
credit. But il was Anne Caldwell,
AS she is called, although she is the
widow OF James ODea, the song
writer, who wrote both these popular
vehicles FOR Montgomery and Stone. She
also wrote for Zelda Sears the "NCst
Egg" which had an very ingenious
idea at the back of II, and the TOP
o. the World" which had some sue
cess. She also rewrote for Blanche
Ring when Claudia Smiles from
the farce called "Nivian's Papas,'
which WAS taken from the German.
Mrs. Caldwell ODea worked with
Ivan Caryll. Richard Burnside and, of
course, Charles Dillingham; for a year
before "Chin Chin" came into eXls-
tence.
THE idea NJ a Chinese setting for
III play Mrs. O'Dea said, was
from Mr.. Dillingham;. who thought II
would he attractive. Ivan Caryl,
came to this country once or twice
during the year we were working on
the piece and NJ other times we COM
muniCated by cable as the story pro-
crossed. or course the modus oper-
and in such n case is to let Mont
gomery and Stone lay out their pro-
gramme OF stunts. Then We must
build the story about that frame.
Mr.. Burnside and ! would meet every
day in the office of Mr.. Dillingham;
and settle under his direction what
turn the plot should take. once the
plot is arranged and the text written
out there comes the most important
stage OF all In the development of the
musical piece. II goes INTO rehearsal
and as II progresses from day To day
iai e sections of the piece are re-
moved.
And Into the vacant place thus
left are put songs and dances, special
ties by this person or thai, anything
new that Mr.. Stone or Mr.. Mont.

"REMINISCENCES
OF MISS JULIA MARLOWE

Ever since 1t was announced that
Julia Marlowc, foremos; OF American
actresses, was to retire permanently
from the stage there has been n fool
Of Renaissance about her beginningr.
This is naturally of interest. as the
American stage has known during
recent years few actresses of such
distinction. and there are no indica-
tons that her like will he seen again.
So editors willingly listen to the
memories Of the old actors which con
Germ a person so much admired and
so much beloved as Miss Marlowe.
The Currier family has been espe-
Cially remin sCential, since il was Mrs.
Ada Dow Currier who began the
dramatic education Of the star. First
Mr.. Currier talked about Miss Mar
loves beginnings and now Mrs. Cur
rier has told THE SuN reporter me
thing of her recollections of the ia
nous actress. Mrs. Currier IS one
of tho woman authorities on dramatic
subjects to-day. At the time OF Booth
and Barrett she was a favorite stock
actress as Ada Dow. She early be.
came a stage director and a producer
OF plays.
When she met Julia Marlowe she
was directing a children's chorus in
light opera for her brother-in-law AZ
Cincinnati, and the three years which
she later devoted TO the girls train
ing started her o. her career as p
dramatic teacher. She has claimed

nearly cleared myself OF funds. having
put great deal of money in the build
ing of the Bijou Opera House, of which
my brothcr-in-llw was manager.
II asked Mr.. Miles for the use IF
the Bijou for Julia's debut. but he
refused to allow a classical debut In a
burlcsque house. Finally, since !
owned n part interest in the theatre.
| demanded the right to use II. after
Julia had had two weeks on the
road to acCustom herself to the stage.
Mr.. Miles hooked her VI for the short
trip, and New London, Conn. saw IN"
first introduction of Fanny Trough,
under the name of Julia Marlowe, to
the dramatic stage
Julia Marlow's introduction to the
critics Of New York took place on
the afternoon Of October 90. 1887.
Every one but me had lost confidence
in her. Mr.. Miles asked me in trembling
tones II ! realized what II would mean
II she were a failure. Julia had been
in such a state of fright for n FEW
days before the performance that she
lost her voice temporarily. When the
curtain rose on her debut she talked 80
low for a time that no one could hear
hear. Then | said from the wings.
Julia, IL got don't speak up. I'll como

angry at this, and from then on very
thing went smoothly. At the end OF
the first act there WAS n silence for a
long enough time for her to get TO ner
dressing room. Then the house burS;
into 4 storm of applause and she was
called before the curtain again and
again,

n HE creation of the big summer
spc ctacles cannot after all be
as easy AZ 1t seems. The de-
lay in their production-one was
postponed for three weeks after
various minor delays and another has
been pushed along from week to
week-indica;es that they require I'M
usual preparation. Last winter il
took eight weeks to rehearse one Of
these spectacles and II was acted for
only five. Thus to please the public
in this sort Of an entertainment takes
time and trouble.
One wonder what must he the
quality of what Is rejected In view
OF what is utilized. Evidently the
wholesale engagement OF popular
variety actors will not do the trick.
Ii is not enough that the most popu-
lar OF them appear and deliver their
goods which meet with such success
In the t~wo-a-day. Riot is TIE way
in which the urbane critics OF vaude-
Vile describe the manner in which
the successful efforts OF their favor
ties are received. Unluckily it Is not
always possible to transfer the same
enthusiasm to the regular theatres IN
which the reviews are performed.
The idea of travestying the popular
plays Of the season must be a god
sen to the overworked playwright
who contrives these pieces, although
It is readily comprehensive that 20
those not familiar with all OF them
much of the fun is lost. Then the
travesty Is not after all so close,
although 1t would seem as II a more
subtle attempt 20 parody the dramas
might find appreciation in certain
quarters. But it is usually the actors
who do all in the nature OF clever
burlesque that these pieces conta n.
The supply of actors suited to these
pieces as we'll as the supply OF melody
and humor is far below the demand.
The Winter Garden, for instance. pro-
duces o II Of these pieces a year on
the average. This is a heavy draught
on the supply Of actors n materlnl.
