The New York Clipper (October 1906)

866 THE NEW YORK CLIPPER. October 6. M155 CIipper'5 coHcnitmo ST1GE FOLK and Some times OTHERS BY J OSEPH INK QUO. Eddie Pox, who recently opened tbe new Shubert Theatre, In Columbus, Ohio, wag In a reminiscent mood tbe other evening, when ho spoke of his first coming to the Buckeye capttol, compering It to his present success- ful visit there as a star In the theatrical fir- mament. In referring to his adrent there. In a conversation with Hnrold Johnson, of The Columbus Citizen, the comedian said: "Columbus and Us one lonely little duat- iwept highway looked awfully good to me ine night In June, thirty-sight yean ago, an I alighted barefoot, olt-begrlmed and penni- less from the bead-end of an East hound freight train, to begin acbool life at the ten* der age of eight, in this—r.s It then was— out-of-the-way sort of a place. "It was a long time ago," continued be, "but I can distinctly recall my eiperlences here. They began with painful battlea with malaria. They were fought out right here. One day I went In swimming,—and a few days later tbe doctor said I had It "I had been sent here to make my home with an eld uncle, John Fitzgerald, now an octogenarian, and to attend acbool. My right name Is Eddie Fltsgerald, and I'm proud of the vein of Irish that courses through my system. "They didn't make any mistake when they labeled me for Columbus, for 1 needed the toning down tbat I surely got here. Imagine me, a street urchin of the wildest type that scoured the pavements of Chicago In the early seventies, coming down here amongst the bushes to read a primer and study spellln'. It was us to tbe little downy bunk every night at seven o'clock, while tbe katydids, owls, crickets, locusts and other sleep-dis- turbers of the night did the rest. I grew very aged trying to sleep In tbls town, for at that time we were living In the woods. "Finally, under the Influence of malaria, one day 1 skipped out In sbeer desperation, and threw rocks through tbe windows of tbe cathedral not far awny. "Uncle John paid my way back to the Windy City but not by way of Adams Ex- press Company, —Day—nayl" Foy's Inimitably nonsensical ubs of tbe above Is only another proof of bis peculiar ability to make something out of nothing,— for there would seem to be absolutely nothing amusing In speaking of the aforementioned company. But the manner In which thla funny man handles It has to be seen and beard, It can not bo repeated. He can al- ways get a laugh with what from some others would call forth a frown, auch Is tils subtle art. f Al. Martin, Burlington ticket agent, Is not Al. Martin, owner of tbe Mg "Uncle Tom's Cabin" ctmpany. The former Is wondering what tlio latter did at one time when OBkcd to redeem the promises of the railroad ticket agent. The first named Martin was standing In front of the Columbua, 0„ Uurllngton offlceB as the theatrical Martins parade passed down the street. Being a new comer there at the time, he was introduced to several cltlsena by a friend. In the passing of a few minutes he was "touched" several times for passes to the show. Be told each man to nsk for blm at the box office that nigbt at 8 o'clock. Al. Martin Is still wondering what Al. Martin said to the applicants. i\ i". Meredith, who Is puffing The IN* tonrl Brctto In tbe general interests of the Nixon & 7lmmermnn attractions, and to the particular publicity of "Simple Simon Sim- ple," has some good things by way of phi- losophy In the pigeon-holes of bis office desk. Ills office, by tbe way, Is advertised to be lo- cated "under the editor's bat." So, of course, we may count on it that those bits of "Mis- souri Philosophy" are of Mcredltblnn origin. "Your notlco makes your Job grow fouder," Is an aphorism npt to be especially Appre- ciated by the worker hi the theatrical field. "An actor seldom retires until played out," Is another truhim. "A friend In need la a friend to reed," Is a touching declaration. "In tho Fall on actor'a fancy turns to mak- ing a touch," In particularly applicable now, Just at the recont close of the vacation sea- son, In which the Thespian Is opt to have been prodigal of his last season's savings. Economical advice to the advance man rends: "Never wet your sticker until you bare gained permission to hang tbe litho- graph In the window," the economy consist- ing In tho saving of disappointment. Meredith never wrote a truer one than "Reminiscence Is the bond of union between showmen." An Inversion of the prevailing custom for stars and principals to have dressing rooms by themselves, and tho lesser lights to share their accommodations, was once amusingly explained by Sada Yacro, tbe popular Japan- ese Rctreis, Htfael Barry more, who had attended a per- formance of the clever Japanese, went bnck for a chat with tbe little Btar from the Orient. On going Into tbo dressing room, the American actress was astonlBhcd to find others beside the alar occupying the same room, (ho others not all being of the same Bex either. During tho conversation, Miss ltnrrymore said: "Is It the custom In your country for the men and women professionals to dress In tbe eame roou, 1" "Ob, no Indeed," snld the little browu act- ress, "no, only the principals 1" The young, foar-year-otd of a popular actor Interrupted bis usual prayer tbe other night by a question relevant to the occupation of tbat moment. Tbe amall pajama-attlred one opened a questioning eye and said: "Bay, Fop, can't a boy pray 'cept In paja- mas?" The same youngster Is very fond of look- ing at the pictures In a big book containing IIlustrations of .famous paintings, one of which Is "The Last Supper," "Fop. get tbe big book down/' be aald to his father not long ago. "Which big book 7" naked bis parent. "Tbe one that has a picture of God getting his last dinner," said the small boy. No one ever reads the name,of Truly Hbat- tuck, on tbe programmes, without expressing some comment on tbe peculiarly attractive name by which an Immensely attractive young singer is known. It Ja not a stsge name as many might think, but one by which tbls beautiful girl of French descent bsa al- ways been known, being merely a contraction of her own uncommon cognomen, Etrulla. » Manager Bathbun, of the Mann Company, received a letter which Is another of tbe many Illustrations of tbe fact that the aver- age aspirant has almost no Idea of the de- mands and necessities of the stage. "Dear Sir :** (It reads) "I write to get tn your employ. I cannot dance, but I could take part In anything else on the stage. I ran away once and acted for two.-months. If you will take me, I will run away again with your company. I am seventeen years old and have auburn hair and my ambition. My parents do not love me end 1 want to get away, so If you have any sympathy you will take me, I bavs a little jewelry but not much. 1 garnet ring, 14 carrot gold, 1 blood- atone ring 22 carrot gold, 1 Imitation dl- mond and 1 broach. My wardrobe Is 1 long white dotted bwIs skirt, 1 black silk dress long neck with train on skirt, 1 black skirt comes to my tie tops, 1 % coat with belt In back, 1 black bat turned up on side wl:li feather, 1 red and white skirt three ruffle comes to my knees, 3 white shirt waists, 1 green pleated suspender skirt, and my umlt. clothes. If I need any more costumes, I could work them out when you hire me, bu. I think I have a plenty, don't you?" ended the deluded girl, with her signature. J. Aldrich LIbbey, tbe popular baritone, who Is always awake to take advantage of any centre temps happening on the stage, and ready to make' it count In his favor, was interrupted one night during his turn by tho appearance of a dog belonging to one of tbe performers. Quick to make tbe most of the accident, LIbbey Instantaneously devised business and lines that brought the bouse down. Later tbat night, going borne on a street car, he was addressed by the man sitting next to him. "You're LIbbey, the singer, ain't you?" asked his seat mate. "You're on," said the big, good-natured fel- low. "You should be congratulated on your act, sir," said tbe msn, at which praise Llbbey's chest grew a trifle fuller, but It quickly con- tracted as tbe man continued, "yes, the dog was a great hit." "And auch Is fame I" quoted LIbbey, under bta breath. VIRGINIA. Norfolk.—At the Academy of Music (Otto Wells, local manager) "Playing tbe Oame" did good business Sept 24.

Lawrence, manager),— Ihe world renowned Juggler, who has been taking Kurope figuratively off Its feet during his recent tour, has Just returned to this country, and will open his next American engagement at Hyde ft Uehman's, Brooklyn, N. X., on Oct. 8. He will ploy dates In this country until the middle of January, and will then sail for Germany, where he will open on Feb. 1, at tbe Wlntcrgarten, Berlin. Cinque- valll has become so Impressed with this coun- try that ho notltled hla Amorlcau representa- tive, Richard litrot, of his desire to Bet bnck some of bla European dotes contracted lor the rest of tbls year, and come here for a brief engagement, hence Mr. Pltrot's booking of his time from Oct. 8 to the middle of Janu- ary. Cinque vail! Is booked In England and on the continent for the neit three years, begin- ning in 11)07, at the end of which period It Is IiIb Intention to dispose of his property In Muriund and retire to private life In tbe United States, making his future borne In this country. This remarkable performer has been received with acclamation In every part of Ihe world, and ble feats have been commented upon and marveled at In the columns of newspapers wherever a printing prcBB Is to be found, long and varied articles descriptive of bis act reaching this office from time to time from European papers. It la with bil- liard cucb and balls that Clnquovalll accom- plishes tbe most wonderful balancing feats. Ills triple cue trick Is one of the finest things in Juggling ever seen. Another equally ex- clt'ng and difficult trick 1b the balancing of two baits on the end of a cue, and then, hold- lug in bis mouth a wine glass containing another ball, balancing tbe cue with the two balls upon that contained in the wine glass. A further trick requiring an Immense amount of skill Is the balancing of two super-Imposed billiard balls between n couple of cues held horl son tally, and then running tbe two balls up and down at will. His great feat of bal- anc'ng a suild Iron ball, weighing 481b, al- ways creates a furore of applause. He urst rolls tbls weighty article over and around his neck, back, oreost and arms, and then bal- ances It upon the end of a billiard cue. and hoisting the cue to the level of his forehead, balances It with the ball at the top. With a swift movement he Btrlkes away the support- ing cue, and ihe ball Is caught on the back or the neck with such deftness and precision as to break the fall and run easily down his back, and by a turning movement around hla body. It la not only that ho performs his wonderful feats with apparent ease, but bis charming grace and handsome appearance coupled with the playful comedy he Introduces with the aid of bis well-trained asalstant, make him, without doubt, tbe strongest at- traction on the vaudeville stage. Personally he is a gentleman always, and bis kind heart and genial manners have endeared to him n host of "Trleuds In every civilized laud under the run. their Summer Benson at tbls nouse Sept. 24, and will at once take the road for the Winter season.
