"You can't fool an audience" said
this master of sentiment. Acting is
the art of reproduction and there
must be the emotion that is to be re-
produced, first in the body and then
in the heart of the hearers and watch
crs in front.
Somehow, by means of your own,
you must hold those people seated in
the semicircle in front of and about
you, if you are an actor. Every actor
has his own means, and he must try
to learn what are those special means
of his and make the utmost of them.
"The voice must be great aid to
the actor, but not the first aid. The
eyes must be that and the mobile
mouth must have the second place,
for a smile can tell volumes. Smiles
or tears of hopelessness are the sad
dest sights in the world.
"The voice should be third. L have
been tola that there is sob in my
voice, an David Belasco said it was
that and he faculty of completely re-
laxing II : muscles that made him
note m work when he frs. saw me.

seious Of it, .'''
when the programs begin to rus
tie your audience has slipped away
from you When there is an epidemic
of coughing the people in front are
signaling you that you bore them, and
when they stir in their seats you are
liable never to have another audience.
A DIFFICULT SCENE.
Many people, talk of the scene in
The Music Master when / stand in

ture Of the woman who had been my
wife, but who had deserted me, and

edy, yet it has to be expressed with
nay back to the audience. l look at
the picture for what seems "a long
time, but is probably only two or
three minutes.
"The audience probably does not
know what impresses it in the noting
of that scene, but it rs what is taking
place in my face and that reaches
through to my back. This is literally
true. stand looking at that picture
with smile, not a happy smile as

sponsible for Miss Springtime," in
which this clever team provided a
book and lyrics that are at all times
amusing and unhackneyed. Mr.. Wode-
house has also disclosed much origi-
nality in his short stories, especially
!. in, the series. about the paragon of
gentlemen's gentlemen, which has
been appearing in the Saturday Even
ing Post. He is a newcomer and a
most welcome one in the fashioning
of musical plays. With the addition
of Jerome Kern, who furnished the
musical score, we have a triumvirate
which could hardly help but turn out
something ingratiating. Mr.. Kern has
now established himself as the best
among the younger generation of
composers of. these lighter forms of
entertainment, and in Have a Heart"
he has written a series of melodies
quite as good and in some respects
better than those of either Every
Good Eddie" or Girls Will Be Girls"
which is now enjoying a prosperous
engagement in New York under the
title Of Love of Mike" He is a man
of an infinite variety of musical
moods, being able to turn his hand
to a sentimental ditty as readily as to
swinging waltz, rousing march or
one of those geographical melodies
without which no up-to-date musical
comedy seems to be complete. In
the present instance it is happily
"Samarkand" instead of Hawaii"
THE VERSATILE CARLETON.
William P. Carleton, who is at
present playing the leading roles
with the Poll Players, sprung a sur
prise on his friends in this city last
week while playing in Mrs. Wiggs
of the Cabbage Patch"
All who have seen Mr. Carleton,
especially the matinee girls, recognize
that he is of that particular type
which commands mash notes. So ac-
customed has he become to playing
the handsome leads that it is but Sec
ond nature for him to handle the love
scenes which fall to the lot of a stock
leading man.
In "Mr. Stubbins," however, he dis
carded the dress suit and devoted his
attention to the ridiculous makeup of
the unlucIy "Stubbins" and succeeded
SO well that many in the audience did
not recognize him on his appearance.
During the entire week his scenes
were the laugh hits of the show, and
those who doubted his versatility be-
fore are convinced that characters
come just as easy to the Poll lead as
do the more dressy straight parts
which he generally plays.

1t is extremely doubtful IL the records
of any country or any age can show

approval, as the critics of Chicago show
cred on Amelita Galli-Curci the soprano
who will be heard in Washington at the
National Theater Friday afternoon. May
II, at 4:30, under the management of Mrs.
Wilson-Greene Only those who have heard
and seen her really know about her,
and to say that she has a perfect voice
means little; you must hear her TO real

voice is.
The sale of seats for Nine. GaIli-Curci

peugress was made at recent meeting
for Grand river bottom drainage.
White not 80 large q meeting as the
one called tn April to take the prefm-
mary steps, yet It was more deter
mined than ever for the drainage
Cause. There was q fine attendance
Of bottom land owners from Living
ston county, showing that they were
in dead earnest. Most all of the
counties affected by the river were
repFeaented by citizens and these were
strong for controlling the waters Of
Grand river and for drainage of wet
bottom lands. It was learned from all
those who discussed the drainage ques-
ton that it was equally if not more
important to get rid of the surface
water and drain the low places along
the bottoms which held water, pre-
venting the faEmers from p4owing for
weeks at time. when, If property
drained the water would leave quickly
and the ground soon be in condition
