A MARQUIS BEFORE THE WAR.

rewarded not only by the stars per-

cherished the design Of appearing in

Soon II will be nothing but a hideous
nightmare"
One of the points OF the play that
Mr.. Ditrichsten regretted the failure
Of the critics to comment upon was
tho emphasis laid upon the high ideals
Of the Marquis's son. who thanked
God that his peasant mother had in
stilled decent principles in his mind
The Marquis. with all his amazingly
clever sophlstry. could not destroy that
early influence.
Several friends OF Mr.. Ditr.chstein
tried to dissuade him from producing
this play, which has not registered
such a pronounced success. One Of
these was his sister. who thought that
he had played enough philanderers
and that the Marquis was tho worst
Of all because the others had been
iovable, whereas the Marquis was a
thorough villain. On this advice, so
recently as a year ago. Mr.. Ditrich-
stein abandoned The project and for
feited the first royalties. which no had
already paid.
Last fall he was on tho point Of re-
linquishing the rights n second time
when he met critic who had seen the
play in Paris. This man. In fact. had
seen the performance of lie Bargy as
the MdrQuLs three times, and he said
| to Ditrichstein that he never should
|! forget II es long as he lived. Thi. was
the sort Of testimonial that meant
something. Mr.. Ditrichstein was as
sured that his estimate OF the play was
| correct. He sent for the manuscript
at once, and upon It's receipt he had
| the parts copied and began the re-
hearsals within a week.
| When Mr.. Ditrichsteins sister had
seen the first performance she declared
that 1t was perfectly wonderful the
| way he got 1t over. There was only
a moment In the last act when she hat
! any doubts. and this was followed i'm.
mediately by the terrific finale, which

was written Mr.. DItrichstein pointed
out the skill with which the M1rQuL

Least of ell would our public be in
ciined TO accept an actor who hoped
to delight 1t on one night with the
humors Of such exaggerated farce as
"Charley's Aunt" and then thrill it
With the sufferings of the deranged
LDor. Such a repertoire is Of course
unknown to our own actors and 1t Is
probable that even in Europe no such
wide range Of versatility exists to-
day. 1t Is at all events not O quality
that appeais 10 American theatre
goers. And their ground is compre-
hensible enough. The depth Of
sincerity an audience has right to
demand from any player who would
incarnate Lear before Its eyes can
scarcely be expected to exist in the
nature OF one who enjoys playing the
least inspired farce. The mere an
nouncement that such wide variety
Of talents exist In one actor is suffi-
cient to create prejudice against him,
at least here.
Has voice altogether departed from
the field of what Broadway has
learned to love as comic opera? Is
every other quality that so-called
prina donna. singing actress, diseuse
or what not may possess. regarded in
the Office Of the manager as more es-
ssntial than a voice in which to sing
the music of an operetta? Blonde
curis, slimnees. some skill in smart
acting and unrelieved audacity-these
arc the qualifications which to-day
seem to be sought before anybody IN
charge os the production CT an operetta
knows whether the leading figure has
a tone in her throat or not. That is
the last matter that seems to count,
although the performance is still ad-
vertised as "comic opera"
There is no lack of good voices in this
country. There have been even more
than usual since the last four years
have served to keep so many from try
ing their fortunes on the foreign
stages. But during this period has the
managerial contempt for anything like
q singing voice in comic opera as
serted itself more exultantly than ever
