OF THE KAUSERS.

~ ENJAMIN FRANKLIN KAU-
r. SER, on playbills as Benz
Kauser, was born some thirty
years ago in Paris, France, of American
parents. Mother-was Bertha Gerster,
well known on the Continental oper-
attic stage. Her sister, Etelka Gerster,
sang here in the sos. His mother
was Verdi's choice for the title role in
Aida" to replace Nine. Stola; was
also selected by Franz List to sing
the title role in his Joan of Arc and
chosen by Richard Wagner to sing
Elsa in "Lohengrin" when it was pre-
paratory produced by him. Father
was Joseph Steven Kauser, architect
and engineer; built the Corinth Canal
in Greece and associated with De Les
seps in many of his projects. He won
all the prizes possible for a foreigner
to win at the Ecole DIES Beaux Arts in
Paris, being the favorite pupil of Abel
Blouet, the builder of the Archie de
Triomphe. Among the awards won by
him as a result of his winning the
Beaux Arts prizes were the recon-
struction of the palace at Fontaine-
bleau under Napoleon Ill, and the
designing of the Tour de LHorloge of
the Palais de Justice in Paris. Father
was born in Hungary, fought in the
revolution against Austria, was cap
tured twice by the Austrians and SEN
fenced to be hanged on each occasion
but escaped, the last time going &c
France. From there he came to Amer
lea and became such an ardent lover
of democracy that he became III

some years. During the war for the

A NEWCOMER.

Lemist Esler, we'll known socially
in New York, has turned actor. and
what is more to the point is proving
himself a light comedian of conse-
quence. He had never been on the
stage until John Cromwell, general
stage director for William A. Brady,
summoned him to the Playhouse one
night recently, handed him the part of
Jack GrOucr in the owen Davis melo-
drama. AT 9:45," and told him 1t was
up to him to go on and play it, Esler,
always interested in the theatre,
needed but little urging. He quickly
memorized the lines and business. and
from his first performance has given
excellent account of himself, a fact to
which those who see AT 9:45" nightly
testify.
Esler's career has been nothing 4
not varied. He has packed a deal Of
experience into comparatively few
years. He was born in New York, lived
for many years in Paris and has been
successfully Harvard student, ex-
plorer. writer editor Wall Street
broker, soldier, and now actor. Leav-

He was gone six months and succeeded
In reaching the little known Valley

spent year exploring and writing

he turned his attention to publishing

heard One gets this latter effect with
such a passage as that in which the
young composer who was to have writ
ten the great American symphonies
enters in the last act drunk. He has
descended from his dreams to play the
piano in the back room of a saloon.
But he has never lost the love of his
art. And as he pulls himself by sheer
force of viii power out of the tipsy
state in which he entered the audience
responds to the intensity of his appeal
for beauty and truth. Even back

the silence with which this great
speech is attended.
