FAMOUS WITS" OF HISTORY
Little Stories 81 Men and Women
Whose Sayings Are Still Remembered
Nv MARK sTUYVESANT

One Of the greatest natural mimIcs
who ever trod the English stage was
Samuel Foote. Foote was the grand
son OF a baronet. and shocked his
family when he left the pleasant
profession Of the law-after having
dissipated one fortune-to go upon
the stage For in Foote'S day, before
David Garrick had done so much TO
elevate popular appreciation OF act
ors and actresses, the profession was
not highly considered Yet so sue
eessful was Foote at the height OF
Ms success that he supported MS
mother and an unfortunate clerical
brother in liberal style. and caused
them 10 regret-as did Garrick s
family-that they had said so many
harsh things TO Samuel when he de-
cided TO become an actor.
For a time Foote and Garrick were
bitter rivals For taking the cue
from Garrick Foote interpOlated in
many of his plays limitations OF the
famous actors OF the day. Once, II
is said. when Foote was talking with
a lady OF his acquaintance about his
proposed Primitive Puppet Show
she asked if the puppets were 20 be
very large. To this question Foote
replied:
"Oh. no, not much larger than
Garrick!"
Hearing this, Garrick WINGED, for
he was very short Of stature. This
habit Garrick had OF wearing his
feelings where any one might prick
them offered Foote many an oppor-
tunity TO stick pin into Davvy."
But Foote was not content 70
mimic and even TO libel the members
OF his own profession. Having been
near-lawyer, Foote knew most of
the forms of legal procedure in Eng
land. and held some Of them up 10
ridicuIe upon his stage. Sometimes
he went further 10 field and lam
pooned other famous men and wo-
men of his day. But al last one OF
them was wise enough TO take the
wind out Of Foote's sails in a witty
as well as a wise way.
This parsonage was the president
Of the London College OF Physicians.
Foote travestied him in his Devil
with Two Sticks" But the president
OF the College IF Physicians baffled
his tormentor the morning after the
play was first presented by sending
him his muff In those days. IL
should be remembered, men as well
IS women wore muffs in cold wealth
er 10 keep their hands warm. With
the muff there came 10 Foote a po-
lite message. saying that the presi-
dent had, Soticed that Foote had left
out of his imitation this rather es-
sential feature Of exact portrayal.
and the president begged Foote to
use the muff thereafter.
When Foote'S leg was amputated
he still continued to appear upon the
stage. He wore cork leg, and
bravely called it his "bottle-stopper.
An instance of Foote's wit as well
as his courage is evidenced by
Foote'S reply TO an adversary who
strove to make fun of his cork leg.
why do you attack my weakest
part ?" Foote asked. Did I ever
say anything about your head"
Foote's flare for mimicking every

HoW FARRAR mon NORDICA

The energy with which a Yankee
girl will go after something she
wants when she finally has made up
her mind she wants II Is proverbial
and II has been illustrated time and
time again in the career of Gerald
inc Farrar. who comes to the oliver
oct. 10 with her concert company.
1t is illustrated by an anecdote told
by her mother Of Miss Farrar when
she was first in Paris, II years old.
She wanted TO have an interview
with Madame NOrdica and day after
day she went TO Madame Nordica' 5
apartment and waited two or three
hours az a time. all 10 no avail.
Madame Nordica did not know who
Geraldine Farrar was and had just
finished a firing season Of opera and
did not want 10 be bothered at that
