r THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 1 1902. 31 PL,Ay ERS AMD THE PL ALj E"R FOLK HOPES, DISASTERS, PATHOS, COMEDY AND GOSSIP OF THE TTORLD OF KS NETW Y more, youngt -ETW YORK, Dec 9. Ethel Barry- not content with "being the roungest star on the American stage. Is to make further bid for fame by -writing plays. This talented daugh ter of brilliant parents Is at work upon a short drama, which will be eeen In New York before another month has passed, probably at the benefit .perform ance to be given Georgia Cayvan at the Broadway Theater early in January. Miss Barrymore maintains deep se crecy as to the plot of her play, and even as to its general character, wishing to spring It as a complete surprise, but this much has leaked out that the "story Is quite romantic and contains much love making under almost prohibitive difilcul tles. Not being fully past the impres sionable age herself, It is perhaps natu ral that the actress Is making the hero ine, to be played by herself, a young person of picturesque sentiment. Ever eince coming to. the Savoy with "Carrots" and "A Country Mouse," Miss Barry more has been spending most of her time outside theater hours working on her manuscript. Marked talent ha3 been displayed by all three of the children of Maurice Barry more and Georgia Drew. "While no other girl of Ethel's age was ever featured upon the stage of this country as jhe has been by Charles Frohman, her older brother, Lionel, in the company of his uncle, John Drew, has been proving him self a character actor of subtlety and power, while the youngest of the family. Jack, has in a short time become known as a pen and ink artist of Imagination and originality. Maurice Barrymore's once strong and sunny mind will never again show light of reason. "When not raving In his cell in the Flushing Sanita rium, he is writing plays, which, he ex citedly says, are greater than Shakes peare's, and for which he declares Irving and Mansfield are Impatiently waiting. Daniel Frohman Is arranging the bene fit for his former leading woman, Georgia Cayvnn. Like Barrymore's, her mind is clouded beyond hope of recovery. She was in the same institution with him for sev eral months, but recently relatives placed her in a private retreat in New England. Her Fmall fortune, which has been slow ly ebbing away. since her misfortune be gan, now Is practically all gone, and it is to keep her from want and suffering that the testimonial Is being furthered. That it will be the largest affair of the kind ever given here seems an assured fact. New York has had no more popular actress than was Miss Cayvan when she was at the head of Frohroan's old Ly ceum Theater Stock Company. She found a following then which has remained true to her ever since, even when she was unjustly assailed in a divorce case a cruel affair which is directly responsible for her mental collapse. That she was finally fully vindicated did not lessen the shock and humiliation to her. Practically all the foremost dramatic and miislcal stars of the land have vol unteered their services for the perform ance. Mr. Frohman's difficulty will not be In getting eufficient talent, but in se lecting the most available without giving offense to the rejected. Among the-names certain to be on the programme are those of James IC Hackett, "William Faversham, Blchard Mansfield, E. S. "Wlllard, Mrs. Flske, Mrs. Leslie Carter, Blanche Bates, Mary Mahnerlng, Viola Allen, Virginia Harned, Annie Russell, Julia Marlowe, Ma bel Gilman, Lillian Russell, Fay Temple ton, Weber and Fields. Thomas Q. Sea brooke, James T. Powers, E. H. Sothern and Ethel Barrymore. Mr. Sothern wiil take the leading mas culine part, opposite Miss Barrymore, In her new play. If it Is ready in time. The performance will be given at the large Broadway Theater and will begin at 1 o'clock and last until 7. James O'Neill In attempting to get away from perennial "Monte Cristo," with which his name is Indelibly associated throughout the land, Is having difficulty In finding a suitable play. He thought he had It In "The Honor of the Humble," a Russian adaptation by Harriets Ford, who dramatized "A Gentleman of France" for Kyrle Bellew and "Audrey" for Eleanor; Robscn. But a very few weeks on the mafl Pnnvinnpri Vitm rt nrl Vila mnnorors Llehler & Co., It had not the essentials of suceeso. Hall Caine's "The Manxman" has been secured and O'Neill and his company are deep in rehearsal preparatory to opening In Norfolk or Richmond. Va.. nhrlstmas week. Liebler & Co. had been endeavor ing to ecuro this play ever since their unusual success with "The Christian." "When their latest Hall Calne play, "The Eternal City." began proving Itself as valuable a piece of prope'rty as the story of Glory Quale and John Storm, they were au ine more determined to own the earlier orama. But Wilson Barrett, the Enellsh ar.tnr. author-manasrer. who eoIlahnVatPri -nrttvi "The Manx" novelist In dramatization of the book and who produced the play In England and at the American Theater, New York, several years ago, refused to pare witn tfte United States rights until recently. Calne, who now Is on the ocean Dounu lor nome, delayed his departure one week to await the arrival of thi manu script eo he might see if any changes were necessary. "The Honor of the Humble" Pjenery very conveniently burned up In Canada last week, thus savins- the manaesrs from paying freight on it back to New York. ana oeing at expense for storage after it reached here. O'Neill and the company had already received Instniptlnns tn to. turn to the metropolis for rehearsal of xne jianxman- and the conflagration was an excellent excuse for canceling dates and announrinp tvio ni nr v. There are some who prophesy O'Neill will he back at h!s triple role In "Monte crista Dy uio Deginnlng of another sea- Maurice Grau. Impressario at the Met ropolitan Opera-Houee, has had amazing ly bad luck In the selection of his Ger man tenors,. On top of the disappoint ment created by George Anthes. of Dres- den, whose debut as Lohengrin was far iroin successrui, came the practical fail ure of Emll 3erhauser, of Berlin, who has had a single appearance as Tann hauscr. They are two singers of whom genuine music-lovers will never approve. and their work so far has been of such nature it Is doubtful If tho rich patrons of the Metropolitan with whom opera Is a fad. will accept them even apathetical ly. Neither has a voice of distinction, and they sing in the ragged, throaty fashion of the German school, and both keep dis tressingly away from the proper tonality. And for this faulty work they command salaries of upwards of41C00 per perform ance! Mr. Grau's third new tenor, Carlo Danl, is little more satisfactory. He has a lyric voice of much sweetness, but little power or brilliance. But he Is Imbued with the good, old-fashioned Italian Idea that tho voice Is to sing with and not for shouting, and he believes in adhering strictly to the key. Nevertheless, he is by no means up to the standard of the metropolitan as an artist either in natural endowment or acquired ability. No more will there be merry midnight weddings at the "Little Church Around the Corner." The rector of the parish. Rev. George- Houghton, has pronounced this edict. This is a sad blow to the Thespians who contemplate elopement or other romantic form of marriage, for it would not be like the real thing at all for an actor to make a runaway match unless the knot could be tied at the "Llttlo Church." This is one of the most famous houses of worship In the United States. More than any other church, its name is asoo elated with the theatrical profession. This Is because 4ts sobriquet was given it by Joseph Jefferson and party for the reason that this veteran, Edwin Booth, Law rence Barrett. Lester "Wallack and nearly every other favorite actor of another generation were members, but more on ac count of the way In which actors and actresses have flocked there at all hours of the day and night for matflmoniar purposes. But the Rev- Dr. Houghton does not like the. reputation thus earned for his church and he declares that in future he will unite no couples for better or worse who do not come' 1 broad daylight Fur- FRANK M. DIRECTOR OF THE BAKER THEATER ORCHESTRA. Mr. Prank M. Griffin, of whom the above Is an excellent likeness, was born at Cincinnati, O., and began the study of the violin at the age of 7 years with his father, F, Griffin, who waa a fine violinist. Later he studied with the famous Henri Schradlck In the Collega of Music of Cincinnati. Subsequently he went Ito Berlin to finish under Andres Moser, of the Royal High School of MufIc His experience haa covered the entire ground of musical life, having been starred as concert ralolst all through the Southeast, traveling director with some of the largest first-class opera, companies, leader in different theaters In fhe Cast .and Instructor and arranger both In music academies and private classes. He came to Portland as director of the Marquam Orchestra in 1001, and at present Is In charge of both the Marquam and Baker orchestras.

This is a bombshell which dazes the profession. On the night of January 1, Weber and Fields, the German dialect comedians and managers, propose to hold a celebration which will become theatrical history. That date marks the 25th anniversary of their debut on the stage. Exactly a quarter of a century ago, timidly and apologetically, they asked permission of a committee that was arranging an ama teur performance in old Turner Hall, on Fourth street, to volunteer their serv ices and, dp a song and dance. Neither Joe Weber nor Lew Fields have a very distinct recollection of the result of their efforts. Both suffered from such a bad attack of stage fright that to this day they are unaware whether or not the act was a success. Nevertheless, they per severed, and soon were playing a profes sional engagement at the old East Side Museum. Next they appeared with Gus Hill's specialty company at a salary of 30 a week for the team. Ten years later they' headed their own vaudeville com pany, while two others toured the coun try under their management. Their tre mendous success since they purchased the old Imperial Music Hall, on Broad way and turned It Into a home of bur lesque Is well known. Today they are numbered among the richest of American managers, and they are noted for paying the highest salaries along Broadway. Madison-Square Garden will probably be engaged f er their 'forthcoming celebra tion. The entertainment Is to begin with a monster parade on the order of the one arranged by Primrose and Dockstader at the "same place In celebration of the 23th anniversary of the formation of their minstrel partnership. DeWolf Hopper will bo the drum major. A bancMed by Willie Collier, and with Sam Bernard playing his bass drum, will come next. The muslclzns will be chosen from among the comedians who, at various times, have been asso ciated with Weber and Fields. Lillian Russell, Fay Tompleton, Bessie Clayton and other actresses and singers who have been members of their companies wih ride In cartages. Just behind "De Woll Hopper, Weber and Fields, In the same make-up they worn on the occasion Ot their debut 25 years ago, will ride on white horses. Their contribution to the even ing's fun will be their original song anu dance. At the Criterion Theater, on Monday night, Julia Marlowo, resumed her star ring tour In a new play, replacing Virginia Harnd, who, after a long and most suc cessful engagement In Arthur W. Plnero's "Iris," takes to the provinces. Miss Mar lowe's latest vehicle Is "The Cavalier," by George W. Cable. Miss Marlowe Is a warm favorite In the metropolis and the Rialto and public generally were pleased that she had found a play which might soothe her for the disastrous venture in "Queen Flametta." which she abandoned after a three weeks' trial. "Tho Cava lier" Is unique in that It treats of Clvli War times from a Southern standpoint, something which might have seemed im possible 10 years ago. War, war, war, is ever the background, yet there is no smell of powder and no din of battle. A pretty love story and romantic meetings in the twilight offer a more subdued basis of action. Miss Marlowe portrays the role of Charlotte Durand. a Southern girl, and those who remember her In "Barbara Frletchle" can readily understand the personal success she achieved. In "Tho Darling of the Gods," vrhlch has just replaced Mrs. Carter In "Du Barry." at Belasco'a Theater. David Belaiwo and Blanche Bates, the star, have scored the b!erse3t triumph of this season. Mrs. Flske started the ball of stupendous 'pro duction rolling ml "Mary of Magdala." Richard Mansfield gave It further Impetus In his massive "Julius Caesar," but David Belasco has simply outclassed them both In his latest effort. From one end of Manhattan to the other ran songs of his praises tho morning after the first performance. "Zaza" and "Du Barry" are completely eclipsed by this latest achievement. In "The Darling of the Gods" the mark of lavlshness has been set so high that it. is doubtful it It ever will be reached againIn" thlff generation. Not one of the carping critics who' make their living and their reputations by In dustriously ' finding fault with the most excellent of presentations, dared raise one finger or utter one word against "The Darling of the Gods.", They would have GRIFFIN; been laughed at, had they attempted.it. fEven Alan Dale himself, the most caustic cnuc tne arama nas ever Known, -visfltca the playhouse a second time and, because all seats had been sold, contented himself with watching the performance again, this time from the gallery. The Japanese play Is little short of a revelation. How long It will run in New York Is entirely a mat ter of speculation. Surely it will outlive this present season, and from all indica tions will stay right In New York until 1S04. Apropos of Miss Bates' dramatic suc cess, one is reminded that he also won another victory the day following hei debut. On Broadway, In the very heart oi the theatrical district, she chanced to meet Mary Mannerlng, who Is appearing at tht Garrlck In "The Stubbornness of Gerald lne." By a leash each actress led. a Boston terrier. "Let me congratulate you," began Miss Mannerlng. "I hear nothing but praise of your work." x "Thank you." replied Miss Bates, "your success Is, xof coursa, already a matter of record." . Just then Miss Mannerlng reached for ward and flicked a bit of dust from the collar of Miss Bates' now Parisian gown. The Bates terrier, noting the movement and thinking perhaps that his mistress was about to be assaulted, sprang on .the Mannerlng canine and In less than a twin kling the liveliest dog fight of the season was In progress on Broadway. Neither actress let go of her leash, but tugged and tugged at their respective pets, the mean while filling the air with screams. Act ors, managers and playwrights rushea from neighboring cafes and offices and cheered the dogs on to victory. Just as Miss Bates' dog seemed about to swalloiy the Mannerlng canine In one big gulp, a policeman turned the corner and succeeded with great effort In prying the pair apart "Como and call on me," said Miss Man nerlng as she turned away. "With or without my gentle pet," asked Miss Bates'. "Without him unless he wears a muz zle," replied the tearful Miss Mannerlng. Aubrey Bouclcault has Indeed becomo the son of his distinguished father. Dion Bouclcault. the author of "Tho Wearing of the Green," "The Shaugraun" and many other Irish dramas. Young Bou clcault, who has been leading man with some of the most prominent stara in America, is about to know the stellar condition and furthermore he is to branch out in a play translated by him self. Strangely enough, his first starring venture is to be In a typical German play. Originally It was played In. Ber lin and later at the Irving Place Theater in this city under the title, "Old Heidel berg." Its success was Instantaneous, Messrs. Sam and Lee Shubert speedily gobbled up the rights and among the English versions submitted to them final ly selected the one by Bouclcault. Under the title. "Heidelberg, or When All the World Was Young," "the play will be pre sented for the first time at the Princess Theater, December 15, Weedon Grossmlth meantime leaving that theater after a splendid engagement and going on lour, Mr. Bouclcault's leading woman will bo Minnie Dupree whose efforts to fasten herself firmly in the theatrical firma- i ment through the medium of "A Rose o Plymouth Town"- ended disastrously. Boloss Klralfy has abandoned his tour In "Around the World In Eighty Days," a dramatization of Jules Verne's famous story. Tho piece Is not new, but It had been entirely rewritten and restaged, and from all indications was destined to en joy a most profitable season. Starting at Providence, R. I., the organization cov- j ered-the distance to Baltimore In some- Luiug line ou uays uiiu uicu uie manage ment decided that what Phlneas Fogg did In the book could not be' accomplished under the handicap of present-day rail road rates. The production was a most expensive one, and without the best of bookings could, not hope to live. The hr&klners were not available, hence the collapse. Klralfy Immediately allied him self wain me riarnum cc joauey wreua. He Is already- planning a mammoth spec tacle for the show on the order of "Nero" and other great productions which have made the names of the Klralfy Brothers famous all over the civilised world. The production will be made at the Madison. Square Garden whsn Sarnum & Bailey begin their annual Spring engagement there. Isabelle Underwood Is the latest actress to be laid up for repairs as the result of a stage duel. During a rehearsal of "Bo badll," a new comic opera, she was cut in the left arm by a scimitar which Sam Edwards, the comedian, wielded. In con sequence, the stage management has de cided to substitute, regulation broad swords, which are more easily handled. "Tho Vampire" Is the name of the lat est melodrama. Not only does the Moli neux trial form a portion of the plot, but the murder of Walter Brooks, Laura Big gar's contest over tho will of Henry M. Bennett, and other sensational trials, are Introduced. The title role is founded on Kipling's' "The Vampire." Edna Wallace Hopper, the diminutive comedienne, has decided to add a hyphen to her name. In the future she will be billed as Edna Wallace-Hopper, showing a-disposition to link her family name with that of the elongated comedian, DeWolf Hopper, which wasn't so apparent while she was suing for a divorce. . Reginald De Koven, tho composer, promises many surprises In his new the ater, the Lyric, which will be ready by the beginning of next season. While abroad he mado a specjalty of studying the architecture of all the greatest play houses, and the best Ideas he will incor porate In his own undertaking. SAMUEL McLEARY WELLER. . TRICKS OF WILY CHINESE. They Pawn "Registration Certiacntea and Try to Get Others. Chinese who have lost their registration certificates, or say they have, do not have an easy time In securing duplicates from the Collector of Internal Revenue, Colonel David M. Dunne. Their favorite plan Is to tell an attorney how they lost their precious "chop chee" or to describe In de tail how It was burned by a careless com panion or some equally harrowing and probable story, and, on the strength of this tale, the attorney makes out an affidavit and takes the Celestial to. the internal revenue umuu. m: "chop checo" are not the residence certifi cates given to Chinese when they make a trip to China, but are registration papera without which no cannery cr railroad boss will take a Chinaman for contract work. If the wily Celestial wants, money for fan tan or opium he can obtain, a good price for his certificate, which can be so altered as to the photograph and descrip tion that the next purchaser will answer the requirements. The originals of these "papers are kept In an Internal revenue vault and are handled by no ope but Col onel Dunne himself. Yesterday afternoon a well-known attor ney wfth an interpreter and a Chinaman, who declared his "chop chee" had been burned In the cannery where he worked, appeared before the Collector for a new certificate. Experience has taught Col onel Dunne vthat nine-tenths of these ap plicants lie in their affidavits and a most rigid examination take3 placo before the Chinaman gets his papers. "Ask him just when he last saw his 'chop chee " said' Colonel Dunne to the Interpreter. "Night just before left can'ly," inter preted that person. Colonel "Dave" smiled, "Now you ask him If he didn't pawn It here In town," commanded the Collector. .At the word "pawn" the, stolid face of the applicant emphatically saia -no bbwio the interpreter turned to him. Evidently he knew just little Mellcan. i "No, he says no pawn," needlessly an swered the go-bctween. "Let me see your hand." And the Col lector took the claw of tho Celestial for inspection.
