the so-called western picture was a
debauchery of trash. 1t presented a
west that never was and never would
be. But the possibilities of the mo-

vealed to me. There came to me the
thought that here was my chance.

AS each day went on. during that
engagement L became more and more
obsessed with the idea. Finally, /
made up my mind to sacrifice my
standing on the stage, purchased by
long years of toll and hard knocks,
to take a chance with fate. Eugene
Walter had written a play which was
to be produced by Klaw and Erlanger
the following season on Broadway, and
I had been cast in the leading role at
the salary of $3.50 week. When
refused the part, Mr.. Erlanger wired
me many times, but 1 stuck to my de-
cision. Then Mr.. Walter came on to
Cleveland, but I refused to be dis
suaded. He concluded and so wired
Mr. Erlanger. that bill Hart had gone
crazy" But, the day after we closed
in New York found me on train for
California.
In 1914, western pictures. to use
the language of a producer, were "a
drug on the maket."
Ny motion picture friends doubted
that L could achieve success in such
pictures, despite by knowledge of the
west combined with my long stage
training. But I persisted. Finally,
I went to work as a star at the salary
of SIS a week. Such was the status
of western photoplays at that time.

Previous to 1905 I had won my
spurs in diversified classical and ro-
mantle roles, including those of Shake
speare. The honor had fallen to my
lot to play leads opposite such ia
nous actresses as Julia Arthur, Nine
Rhea and Nine. Modjeska. as well as
creating such roles as Messala in Ben
Hur and Cash Hawkins in THE Squaw
Man" In the latter play. produced
for the first time at Wallacks theater,
New York City, in 1905, I had the
good fortune of being able to give the
American public a typical western
character My success in this part
opened up a subsequent line of western
roles for me, the emphatic success CT

DUST OFF FILES
Americans Greatly Interested
in This Italian Visit.
TOscanini Conducts Premier
Orchestra Entirely From
Memory.

So general and compelling is the in
terest in the American visit of Maestro
Arturo Toscanini and La Scala or
chestra from Milan, that the Ameri-
can newspapers 8nd publications are
busting off the files of five years ago
to learn more about this distinguished
of conductors. Toscanini left the
seven years in New York when he was
the best loved figure about that
famous institution.
SiRce his return to Italy to become
first conductor and artistic director
of La Scala, he has become a veritable
popular idol among his countrymen,
and is known thruout the country as
the ''animator of souls" The other
day newspaper man dug up the story
of how Toscanini first held the direc-
tors baton.
1t was in Buenos Aires in 1886, when
the youthful Italian played the cello
in the opera orchestra. He leaped to
fame in night. The opera conductor,
in a fit of melancholia had killed
himself a few hours before the per.
formance was scheduled to take place,
and his score could not be found.
Toscanini offered to conduct the opera
from memory. There was no other
way, and he was entrusted with the
baton. They still talk about \ that
night in South America. Toscanfni's
success was SO towering that his, prog
ress to the top of the list of conduc-
tors has never slackened since that
night.
Later he returned TO Italy to be-
come conductor of La Scala. Guiiio
Gatt Casassa. now director general
of the Metropolitan opera house in
New York. was at the time director at
the opera house in Milan and made
Toscanini his first conductor Many
operas which since have become
famous were represented first under
Toscanini's baton.
Toscanini always conducts from
memory, which is so retentive thai he
has one hundred operas and many
symphonic writings at his fingers $
end.
Topeka appearance of Toscanini and
La Scala orchestra will be on Thurs
day, February "a, under the manage
ment of Henry J. Dotterweich.
