The New York Clipper (March 1907)

154 THE NEW YORK CLIPPER. March 80. M155 CIipp^r'$ both so near like the iihow people, that you can't hardly tell aa apart from them." WASHINGTON. KENTUCKY. coNccaniNO STAGE FOLK and Some times OTHERS BY J OSEPHINE GEO. Charlea Bowaer'a comedy work on the stags la no leaa well known and appreciated than la hla humor and quick wit off the atage. Both he and Loralne Drew, In their vaude- viile aketcb, "The Happy Family," are prov- ing what cleTer Intelligence and dramatic ability can do by way of artlatlc aa welt aa financial eucceta. Between tlmea Bowaer'a literary services are frequently In demand by play agents and othera, who have come to recognize hla alrill- tlea In the way of rewriting and producing playa. Here followa two ahort lettera that re- cently paaaed between a well known play broker and Bowaer, which, on one band, ahowa the confidence of the former In him, and, on the other, gives an llluatratlon of hla wit "Dear Bowaer: (began the communication, which explains lttelf) We aend yon a play which, we are conrlneed, with a little careful doctoring, will prove a valuable property. We aak you to give It your Immediate at- tention, and If you think yon can eliminate the faulta, we would like to arrange with you to be the doctor. Rcapectively youn," (Signed). "Messrs. A Co. (waa Bowaer'a reply) Dear Blra: Have carefully read the play you submitted to me. It doem't need a doctor. Wbat it really needa la an under- taker. Sincerely (Signed) Charms W. Bowbbb." 9 Thoae rolea w hicb, In comic opera and mu- alcal comedy, demand a woman of goodly proportions and aenae of comedy to portray eccentric comedy, hare alwaya been well Oiled in the large, comfortable personality of Adella Barker. Inatead of her face being her dramatic fortune, It la her size that to thla end serves her beat The old quotation that "large bodies more slowly," la not al- waya exemplified. On a recent occasion Mlaa Barker ahowed an agility worthy of an acro- batic performer of far leaa weight and flesh than that which covers her sturdy structure. While playing her uaual line of work re- cently, at the Casino, In Paula Edwards' "Princess Beggar," Hiss Barker, with all the othera of the company, received Invitations from Al. Woods, to see "Nellie, the Beautiful Cloak Model," then running at another New York theatre. To add an attraction to the matinee, a prtae, In the shape of a diamond ring, was to be presented to the woman In the audience possessing the most shapely figure. . After the rehearsal required one morning, to make some cbangea in the production, Mlsa Barker, whose humorous proclivities often lead ber to play Jokes on friends, ap- proached the stage manager, and in a serious manner said: "I find that I have business to transact this afternoon that mcana, a great deal to me, so I cannot be here at the performance. Will you put my underatudy on)" "Impossible I" exclaimed the manager, "your understudy Is sick, ao you'll have to go on yourself." "But I cannot," persisted the comedienne, "you have no Idea how much this business Is to me, and I ahall have to be absent." At this declaration, which Hlsa Barker gave with a atralght face, the manager began to be worried, and waa about to Inform bar that if she was away that afternoon she might remain away entirely. When the funny woman aaw that she bad Insisted far enough, she then said: "You know of the prise offered at tbe 'Cloak Model' matinee—well, that's what I'm after, and—" But that waa the time Miss Barker ahowed her extremo quickness In getting out of the range of the flying manuscript Impelled In her direction by the hand of the hulf-nngry, but laughing manager. 9 How often Is It shown that a conversion from one faith to another Is not a lasting one. Another Illustration of this concerns t'ic Jap valet of a popular leading man, who approached his master one Sunday morning leccntly, about church time, and aaked It he might go out. The actor thought the Jap wished to attend church, as he was awaro that the latter bad recently been Investi- gating tho Christian religion under the di- rection of a city missionary, and was sup- posed to havo acknowledged his belief In, and Intention to follow It. Not wlahlng to hinder the good work, tbe actor tentatively arid: "1 suppose you want to go to church." "Oh, no," replied tho Jap, who had lapsed from his recent conversion, "I no go church. I no any more care for Ileaben—I Bhuddlst —lot more easy than your way." Sam M. Dawson, manager of the New Monumental, In Baltimore, recently bad an amusing, though In some respects, a serious experience, which la here told In bis wordv "A few weeks ago a member of a com- pany playing our theatre came to ma and excitedly Informed me that oh* of the chorus Kins had tried that morning to commit ttiiclde, and that, If not watched, she would probably succeed before tbe performance was over. The girl waa pointed out to me. She certainly had the appearance of one who would do almoat any sort of a rash act ' Aftei the Drat part of the show waa over I approached the girl, who seemed bent on furnishing copy for the papers, and began a conversation with her, finally merging It into personal questions, i asked what her troublea were, and she poured forth a multi- tude of them, and declared her intention to die. I further Inquired If she had parents or a home—any friends or money. To all I received a negative reply. I then told her that If aba persisted in doing away with herself she would have to go to the rotter's I'leld, unless the company would bury her. At this Information ahe simply reiterated her wish to die, and ber utter carelessness of tbe consequence. "As a member of the Antl-Sulclde Society, I went to work on ber case, seeking to change, by some means, her mental attitude. I told ber that If she had firmly made up ber min'd to take the trip over 'the big di- vide,' that I had a proposition to make to ber, but It was to be In strict confidence, and she was not to tell a living soul. I then pro- posed that If ahe would put on a neat ault and commit suicide, surrounded by a nlco parlor set on the stage, In front of a moving picture machine, I would give ber a flrst claaa funeral, with plenty of flowers. Con- tinuing my offer, I declared that tbe carbolic acid route would be tbe beat to show In the pictures. At this her eyes began to shine with astonishment, then to bum with In- dignation. I saw that my scheme of getting ber mind off herself was working, so con- tinued my talk In tho same strain. I went en to tell the girl that aa soon aa the matinee waa over we would accomplish her wish. Furthermore, that I would put on her tomb- stone that she was, the first ahow girl to commit suicide, before a picture machine, and that I would get money enough from tbe pictures to give ber the grandest sort of a funeral, emphasising the word funeral. By this time 1 saw that her cure waa effected, for she turned on me and relieved ber mind of her opinion of my heartless proposition, showing that righteous anger bad taken tbe place of suicidal despair. When ahe went to her dressing room aba told tba other girls that I waa the worst brute she bad ever seen, and they all came out to get a view of the ■brats,' "She waa here at the theatre with another company, last week. I heard from one of them that she had-spoken of me as the most horrid manager In the business. But she did not say why she had asserted this." < i » Jl.MA SANDERSON, Whose picture appeara on tho flrst page of tills Isaue, la ono of the youngest and most beautiful prima donnas In vaudeville. She waa born nineteen years ago, and baa been on tbe atage for alx years. liar first appearance was In 11)01, when ahe played tbe part of Natalie, tho daughter of tbe cruel ltusslan governor, Michael Fetroff, In Edwin Arduu's play, "Zorab," with the Forc- paugh Stock Co., Philadelphia, where her father, Albort Hackctt, waa playing Petroff. Miss Sanderson had remarkable success Id child roles In Philadelphia, where ahe con- tinued for three years, attending school there all tbe' while, until, three yeara ago, her beauty and her grace as a dancer gained for ber a place as a ahow girl In "Wlnaome Winnie," wben that' company waa playing at tbe Broad Btreet Theatre, In the Quaker City. Later, in Boston, she was called upon to play one ot tbe parts she was understudying, and did It so well that aho waa maae understudy to the atar, Paula Edwardes. Mlsa Kdwardes was obliged to absent herself from ono performance because of serious illness In ber family, while the company was at I be Casino, and Miss Sanderson at- tracted so much attention because of ber tine voice and splondld presence, that she was given tho part of Mrs. Pineapple, In "Tbe Chinese Honeymoon." Then ' she followed Mndge Leasing as Mataya, In "Wung."
