The New York Clipper (August 1906)

62G THE NEW YORK CLIPPER. August 4. Mi55 CIipper'5 Anecdotes, Personalities and Comments, coKcnxura ST1GE FOLK and Some times OTHERS BT J OSBPHINB QEO. Harry D. Carey, tbe author and leading man of "Montana," a melodrama of immense popularity, hnd one of his most Impressively quiet icenca turned Into a howl of amusement by an Interpolation from an lntereated audi- tor In the gallery. "Jim Qraham,'' tbe cow-puncher foreman of tbe "Bnckhorn Ranch" la played most roe- ceaafully by Carey. In this character, during the flrat act. he haa a pretty love acene with "Flo," tbe ranch owner's niece, ptayed by Gertrude Fowler. Ills ataRe business In the acene requires blm to atart off tbe right upper entrance when he la called by "Flo," who asks him to come and sit beside her on tbe bench. In- atead of going Instantly to her aide aa might be expected, bis baslneaa wan to stand bash- fully up by the gate, "Stetson" In hand, until she had repeated her request, and then to slouch toward her with the peculiar, alow, rolling gait characteristic of many cow-punch- ers. At the opening performance In Beading, I'o., Carey was playing thla acene In bis usual deliberate manner, when a gallery-god, evi- dently exasperated at the actor's alowness In embracing an opportunity to make love, thun- dered In a deep voice that waa plainly heard In every part of tbe bouse: "Oh, for heaven's sake, go to it 1 go to It!" Carey went In obedience to the command of tbe deeply concerned auditor and tbe de- mand of the atage business, but not before he and Mlaa Fowler had indulged In a hearty laugh at tbe artistic expense of their scene. ♦ Tete Mack, of Mack and Dugal, In tbe ma- gical comedy sketch, "A Strenuous Sprain," tells bow a "atrlke" In a company of which he was a member during bla early experi- ences, began nnd quickly ended. The "bad business" excuse had been handed them for four or five weeks In place of their expected salaries, and they were In actual need. After the discussion of several plans to get at least n part of what ehould be coming to them, 0 "strike" *aB decided upon. Tbe leader of this movement was certain that tbe manager could be brought to see their Ride of It, If strenuously urged by the usual threat of "no snlary, no performance." The "strikers" met In the leader's room, and tbe manager waa notified that they wished to discuss things with blm. He came. One of the actors then Informed htm that the salaries he was holding back must be forthcoming Immediately,—or tbe usual alter- native. Some few other remarks of the actor did not please the manager, who was some- what pugillstlcilly Inclined, and he Immedi- ately proceeded to make a reply, punctuating and Illustrating It upon the person of the objecting member. The result waa a much hammered man subsiding In a corner of the room. Then turning to the leader of the "strike," the manager demanded: "Now, V , whnt iiave you got to say?" "Well," stammered V , "I'd like like to have a new pair of aoles to my shoes," And tbe "strike" was off. Why, Aunt, he's ugly as can be; The horrid thing Is flirting with me 1" This advice la free to all young men, Tonll see what the difference will always be then. If you're an actor,—and a married man, Keep It a secret aa long u yon can. noanced we will open the Klaw * Brlanger stock company, which Is to be composed of tbe best players tbat can be secured, at tbe Chestnut Street Theatre, in Philadelphia, at the beginning of tbe new year, where we shall present six original plays and Ave original musical comedies, giving each a run of two weeks." »«» Plana of Llebler A Co.

The flrat was a propo* of an exceedingly poor performance that was taking place In a prominent vaudeville bouse tbat bad always been noted for tbe excellence of most of Its programs. "This li the worst ever,' remarked one of three traveling men who were witnessing the show. "Well, that can eaally be explained," said one of them who knew tbe manager of the place, and was aware of tbe fact tbat on tbe previous Monday rehearsal, three good acts had failed to show up, "you see, they had three disappointments this week." "Three P exclaimed one of the friends, wltherlngly, "three I why, I've counted eleven already,— and there are still more to come." The custom of giving a number of per- formances a day In vogue at the "ten-cent" bouses through tbe Northwest, has led per- formers to make tbe Inquiry, "how many?" One Monday, after tbe usual rehearsal of new comers, a well known vaudeville per- former, whose appearance In the house had been made the feature of the week's billing, questioned an old colored man who was cleaning the lobby, concerning this important point "Uncle, how many shows do they give a day at thla place ?" asked tbe actor. "Two, Boss," replied the old fellow, In a decided manner. "Yes," assented tbe actor, then adding In an aside, "and four at ntghtf" George Parker, who waa last season with Willie Collier, told the following not long ago to a group of bla player friends. It Illus- trates that many who are confined In asy- interest, o\ which no accurate announcement luma for tbe demented have plenty of lucid Intervals when they can both play a joke and appreciate the fact.

A brass foundry wns the final goal after several futile efforts In other directions. On their application for work, tbe euperln- tendent of the foundry, addressing tbe older mnn, sold: "Well, what can you do?" Characteristic of his profession, the old "legit" replied: "Anything cast for." The mall brings n communication from a Ci.htrk subscriber, signed "Laurlette," with some verses written by a "Topsy," seventeen yeara of age, member of an "Uncle Tom's Cabin" company, managed by William De Hart. it Illustrates the difference it makes with the favor of tbe public, whether the admired one behind the footlights Is under tbe matri- monial bond or not.

"Oh, la tbat so? that what you any,— Well 1 think he's awful, anyway. The story runs that three or four men who were on their way to a race track, passed by the grounds surrounding one of these in- stitutions. On the Inside of the high iron fence was one of the detnined Inmates en- gaged In the process of adding a coat of paint to It Being known by one of the passers- by to have been prev'~usty a member of tbe turf fraternity, he stopped, saying: "Hello, Tom I We're off for the track." Then naming several of tbe horses that were to run, be asked the former horse expert's advice as how to place their money. The man, with a wise air, at the same time as- siduously manipulating his paint brush, told the Inquirer exactly bow to bet, and the pleasure seekers departed. Later In the day, the party, with dejected manner, repassed the place, where the Insane painter was still busy swinging his tireless brush. "8ay, Tom," exclaimed tbe man who had requested the tips, "We're down and oit I lost every cent." "Is that so?" quietly said tbe one on the Inside of tbe fence, not ceasing tbe move- ment of his brush. "And did you bet on tbe horses 1 picked for you?" "Of course," was the reply. "Go, get a brush 1" was all the suggestive advice the "dotty" painter gave. _-, at the Duke of York's, early In Sep- tember.

I refer to Rose Stahl, one of the most brilliant of tbe Palace Theatre recent successes. She sailed for New York yesterday, being ac- companied to Liverpool by a party of ad- mirers, Including Jenle Jacobs. The compli- ment we paid to Miss Stahl, In referring to her as tbe 'Bernhardt of tbe Halls," haa been quoted widely by the American press, and as long as tbe popular 'Chorus Lad?' sticks to tbe stage, the name will remain with her."
