The New York Clipper (September 1906)

758 THE HFEW YORK CLIPPER. September 8. Mi55 CHpP er '5 Anecdotes. Personalities anil Comments, CONCERNING STAGE FOLK and Some times OTHERS BY J OSEPHINE OBO. Lillian Mortimer added greatly to her the- atrical fame, as well ns her bank account, last season, by moans of the successful run of her play, "No Mother to Guide Her." Her clever manager, George P. Drlscoll relates (\ couple of Incidents out of the many that happened during the tour of the company. Miss Mortimer, who Is a great lover of animals, has two of these, which are hy no means the least Interesting among her clever company. Both a horse and a dog are the personal property of tbe star, and. con- sequently receive considerable petting, flhe always has a stock of lump sugar In ber dressing room, this sweet bribe often being necessary to the good behavior and correct dramatic support of the actress during cer- tain scenes of her exciting play. One night, during a performance, she was giving them a small sample of the sugar In one of the entrances while awaiting ber cue. 80 deeply interested was she In her occupa- tion that she did not hear It. Horn", one gulckly whispered, 'Tour cue I Miss Morti- mer I" Forgetting to toss asldo her handful of sugar, sbe rushed on to the scene, where the next bit of business was for the villain to gag and carry her sway. ThlB dramatic climax, however, was amusingly averted by the appearance of the horse and dog, which had followed the actress on to the stage for Ibe sugar they knew to be In ber hand. The villain could not get near to the heroiue be- cause of the situation—the dog Jumping nbout her and barking, In expectation, and Ibe horse whinnying for the sweet bit that had always followed bis request. It was an unexpected and sensational finish to the scene, which created as much Interest among the audience as the uansl ending. 9 One evening, In Milwaukee, during SKas Mortimer's short walk from the hotel to the theatre, she passed two small boys of nbout eight and ten years of ago, who stood in front of a bill board, discussing some of the actress' artistic printing thereon displayed. She overheard one of them bemoaning the fact of his Inability to sec the play so vividly depleted on the three-sheet. "Wot's It about, Billy?" asked the other youngster, who evidently could not read the printed title. Billy, whose education had hecn advanced a step further, slowly spelled It out, balking somewhat at the word "Guide." "I guess they got the letters mixed," said Billy; "It must mean, 'No Mother to Be Good to Her.'" "Gee! but I'd like to Bee that show I" ex- claimed the smaller boy. "Well, we can't, fer our papes ain't all void ylt," said Billy. "Would you boys really care to see the play nt the BIJou7" as'wd MIsb Mortimer, stepping up to them. "Wouldn't we Just!" exclaimed Billy. 'We hain't never been to a theoyter." "Well," Bald the pretty star, "you shall nee a play to-night," at the same time hand* lug them the wherewith to do no—a silver quartet each—then hurried on to tbe the- atre, with no further thought of her kind net. Later lo the evening, during the second net, where the heavy man cruelly striken the "girl" severnl tiroes, there was a commotion In the gallery, nnd a shrill voice cried out: "Say, Bud, tint's de goll wot give us de price to git in We oughtn't to stay here nn* let dnt chump lnmtmste her dnt way. Come on!" But on looking about them nnd seeing the olhers apparently enjoying the scene, they bashfully subsided Into their seats, evidently realizing that the situation was a part of the nerfnrmnnce. 9 Joseph S. Fox, of UoiiBton, Texas, rotates a Jefferson story Hint is told In tbe South. The Btnr of "hip Van Winkle," during one of his Southern trips, took a train one even* ing flint wns scheduled to land him at his destination late that same night. Tho train was & Blow one, and had been known fre- quency to be many hours behind time. Jefferson had not Intended to hava his berth made up, but when Informed that the arrival of the train would be nearer sir In tho morning than twelve at night, he decided to turn In and rest. "This la a terribly stow train," remarked the actor, as he watched the busy porter from tho Boctlon opposite his own ; "are you buro It will be an nil night trip for us?" be asked. "I reckon 'twill, Bun," replied that sable Individual. "Do you think we'll reach St. Joo before 1 awako?" nBkcd Jefferson. "Deed, an* yo' will, Sub," replied tho por- ter; "dat Is, ef yo* take one 0' dem naps like wot de conductor says you once took." "What do you mean?" naked Jefferson, Im- mediately understanding tho reference to bis play, hut wishing to draw ;he darkey out. "lie sea dat you once slep fo' twenty yeohs 'fo yo* woko up, Suh," exclaimed the porter, with wonder In both eyes and vulcc. George 8. Probert. light comedian In tbe one week's run of "Cousin Louisa," mode an Immense success of his part, tho critics agree- ing that tho play would have run a Benson If a few of the other parts had been equally good. Probcrt tolls of an experience of bis enrllor clays, When be was a beginner, with a cheap barn storming company, that had been play- lug lu bad luck. Not wishing to stop over at a certain small tuwn unless assured of a fair house, Probert was sent a few hours ahead; to ascertain what tbe prospects were. He was directed to tbe hotel keeper as being the one beat able to give the needed Information. "What kind of a show town Is this?" he asked that Individual. "Oreat I fine!" was tbe enthusiastic reply. "How loog sines you had a ahow tore?" was the actor's next question. "Two weeks, and If a good thing came along Just now, 'twould go great," declared his Informant, "What was the name of the last ahow here?" asked Probert, wondering If the one he represented would fare as well. "Can't think 0' the name Just now," re- plied the landlord. Then quickly turning to his clerk, he said: "Say, Fred, here's the key to the storeroom; ran up itatrs and see what name la printed on them trunks up there." Needless to say, tbe telegram which Pro- bert sent to hla manager advised skipping that town. 9 It has been known that some landlords with whom theatrical companies have board- ed, and to whom their board bills were still due when tbe actors left town, have gone on for several days with tbe companies, In the hope of collecting later. They have frequently accompanied these unfortunate debtors both on and off tbe stage, for sometimes these landlords have been blessed with vocal possibilities—or have thought they were. Apropos of this situation Is an account where a musical company bad been having a hard time to get from place to place. Al- ready tbey had two landlords In the cast, substituting for delinquent members of the company, and Incidentally traveling a few days with them In hopes of getting their money. The manager approached the ticket window of the little depot, on landing In a town, and said: "What sort of a voice has the landlord of the place opposite the depot here?" "I think he has a basa voice," was the reply. "That'll do fine!" exclaimed the manager to one of the company at his elbow. "We'll need a bass for the next two weeks, won'r we, Jim?" WASHINGTON.
