IN WIGS AND WINGS
Some of the Things from the Theatre Which
Are Remembered

Catherine" Gertrude Kingston wrote
the German accent. The English actress
explains her reasons for this addition
to the play as follows:
"Thc part was not written with a
German accent, but when | was re-
hearsing she seemed to want that ac-
cent as an explsnstionI might almost
say palliation-of her actions. Eng
lish is a purely formal language. When
speaking TO our servants we don't say
Thou as the Germans and Austrians
do 20 theirs. an expression which con-
veys that feudsl relation of good-nat-
ured understanding that Shaw has con
veyed so finely in the character of the
Sergeant. An English servant would
never take upon himself the liberty of
speech that a foreign servant does, but
on the other hand, he does not take
the same warm personal interest.
at is that unceremonious friendli-
ness of the German accent that no
purely English diction would have put
over as YOU say here, and very much
doubt if could have made GATHERINGS
extravagancies acceptable without it. |
feel on very good terms with Catherine
now. I know she likes a compliment,
but she dislikes a courtier, which is the
subtle difference between clever wom-
an who is vain and vain woman who
is clever All. there is a difference!
No, cannot explain it if you don't see
it. hut Catherine. though clever, was
ready TO be pleased with an adroit fat
terry, but hattery laid on with a trowel
she hated as an insult to her clever
ness"

EXIT silviO Helm as a Shakespearian
IL producer. Last season, when
Tom Wise scored heavily as Falstaf
and a large section of the public was
unable to get into the theatre, Mr..
Helm got the idea that it would be an
altogether noble act to make it possible
for the aforesaid public to see him
this year. Accordingly he collected
company TO play "The Merry Wives OF
Windsor accordingly he put up nu-
merous thousands of dollars, and some
what accordingly the company has just
finished season Of fifteen weeks the
last three of them in New York.
Mr.. Helm still believes stanchly IN
the nobility of the act, but he says
that he can take hint. He doesn't
think the public wants Shakespeare.
Not one of the fifteen weeks showed
real profit, and most of them showed
real losses. In fact, Mr.. Helm is just
about $4,000 poorer than he was be-
fore he got the idea for the noble deed.
He says that nobility is all right in it's

carefully that there is never an idle

vent a performance. Provision always
is made for removal to an auditorium.

necessary in the midst Of a perform

THE STORY OF THE eCOBURNS

Coburns will produce in New York this
season. A number OF special matlnees
of all old comedy are to be staged soon
at the Harris, and there is more than
an even chance that this play will be
followed by others. The record OF
achievement set by Mr. and Mrs. Co
burn is considerable, and it all grew
out Of plans just as nebulous, and
more so, than their present ambitions.
Certainly if New York ever is TO have
a high class repertory house it is more
than likely to be the Coburns who will
be back Of it,,
For ten years the Coburns have been
more or less celebrated the country
over. Every April since 1906 they
have gathered theft company always
twenty-five or thirty people and have
then proceeded to give a series Of out
door performances over route as
carefully booked as though it had been
laid out in the Offices of klaw G. Err
LANCER. In this length Of time they
have acquired a repertory Of more
than score of plays, most Of them
Shakespearian, and have made them
selves a not uncomfortable adjunct 20
the curricula Of most of our leading
colleges.
Mr.. Coburn's first appearance in a
theatre, strangely enough, was in the
box Office. This was twenty years ago
in Savannah. Subsequently he gradu-
ated to the postion.of manager Of the
theatre. which, be ID understood, is a
post which has nothing at all TO do
with the back of the house and re-
duires about as much artistic sense as
managing a haberdashery. Striving
ever upward, he then became an sd-
vance agent. Then came spring. which
is the open season for advance agents,
and il CHANGED to find Mr.. Coburn
somewhere in Wisconsin. And, IL hay-
ing been a hard winter, he decided 10
turn an honest penny by acting in a
Wisconsin stock company for a few
months. He liked it so much that he
WAS an actor from that time forth.
The four or FIVE years which fol-
lowed were typical of the early strug-
giles OF most of our actors. There were
stock companies galore, and now and
then stranded travelling company
Just for the sake Of variety. Matters
went along in this style until 1902
when he Joined a stock company play
INK in Norfolk, Va. Here he met a
young woman named Iyah Wills, also

THE acclaim which has greeted the
return of 1.-THE Yellow jacket to
New York has tended to obscure the
fact that the production marks not only
the first extended appearance OF MT
and Mrs. Charles Douville Coburn IN
this city, but also probably the initial
stem in the establishment OF roper
tory theatre where the ideals OF the
producer will not give way immediate
" TO Joseph LEBLANC. Mr.. Coburn rec
ocnizes that this dream Of high class
repertory theatre in New York is a
frequent one. and consents with real
reluctance to its publication. Too ne
fears lest the public of New York ac-
ouire the idea that he is consplrlng TO
educate them, which he is not.
One thing is certain. The yellow
Jacket" is not the last play which the
