In 1890 Mr.. Hopper began his star
ring career under the management of
Locke and Davis. Castles in the Air"
was the first venture. which succeeded
fairly well on the road after an in
different run in New York. Mr.. Hop
per was left to finish the tour on his
own resources, the producers having
too many other projects to attend to.
The following year, in May of 1891,
he made his first appearance in what
was destined to be the most famous
OF all his roles, that of the Regent of
Siam, in Wang" originally known as
King Cole" This was at the Broad
way Theatre in New York. He played
Wang" for two seasons and then
came The Panjandrum" for a single
season. "Dr. Syntax" and two Sousa
operas. 1.-The Charlatan" and eel Capt.

latter in London in 1899. This was
followed by "Dr. Pickwick" and a re-

After a few suggestions from his
mother Hopper decided that 1t might
be good plan to control that voice,
so he studied vocalism under Luigi
Nicola, who in a brief time taught him
TO control the peculiar rangy voice
with which he had been wont to roar
and rant. He learned that a small
voice. the broken hesitating voice OF
adolescence. produced a vastly more
comic effect issuing from his burly
frame. Shortly afterward he became
member of the Madison Square
Theatre Company, under Daniel
Frohman, and appeard as Pittocas

Then some one suggested operate

plete failure. Enough. however, re-
manned for him to embark in a play
somewhat prophetically entitled "One
Hundred Wives" which went broke in
Meridian, Miss, leaving young Hopper
to get back to New York as best he
could.
For eleven weeks after he returned
to the metropolis Hopper appeared
with Edward Harrigan in 1.-THE Black
bird" He was big man with a
tremendous voice and when he wished
to score a point he roared in a way
which threatened apoplexy and

his fellow actors were Joseph Jener-
son, Nat Goodwin and William H.
Crane. He even appeared in side
splitting travesty on the balcony scene
in Romeo and Juliet" with Marshall
Wilder for he has been willing to try
almost anything once.
His matrimonial experiences have
been almost as varied as his theatrical
career. His first wife was Ella Gardi-
ner. whom he married at the very out
set of his career. She was the daugh-
ter Of a minstrel. and her successor
was a pretty member OF the chorus
named Ida Mosher. After divorcing
wife number two Hopper courted the
dainty little Edna Wallace. whom he
married in 1893. Five years later
there was another divorce. wife num-
Der four being Nellie Reardon Bergen,
an actress whom Hopper installed as
his prima donna.
In 1918 the couple were divorced
and Mr.. Hopper one month later mar
ried his fifth and present wife, Ella
Curry, also an actress.
In regard to his long success on the
stage perhaps the comedians own
words are most Illuminating.
II have a theory" says Mr.. Hopper,
that no real actor can study acting to
advantage, for one is apt to acquire
the mannerisms Of his instructor at
the expense Of originality. I do not
believe that the art of producing a
real laugh or a real tear Is one that
can be learned. or course there Is a
certain mechanism, a few details Of
technique, that one may be taught.
In consequence of the success of the
Sacha Gultry comedy Sleeping Part
ners," John d. Williams has changed
his seasons plans to the extent of
deciding upon the immediate New
York production OF two other CONT
mental comedies in the belief that
through the international relations
that have grown out of the war the
prevailing local theatre taste for some
time to come will incline to comedies
