DAPHNE POLLARD A BORN MIMIC
Xrilliputian Is a High Spirited Youngster With a Quick
Wit and the Manner of a Comic Opera Queer
DAPHNE POLX.ARD is four leet and
three inches o human magnetism.
he Is the genius or the Pollard
Opera Company, the aggregation of
charming tots -who sing and frolic In
light opera to the delight of hundreds of
thousands of people the world over.
Daphne 1s the most remarkable child
1 ever saw. Her light brown, wavy hair
Etand3 out in unruly confusion, framing
her mobile face and intense eyes. Her
perfect little form moves, as if by in
stinct, to. the expression of every pass
ing thought.
Her play of countenance Is like an elec
tric shock.
Let her raise her eyebrows and give
jou me louy siarc
Ask her to strike an attitude and re
peat her line, "Did 1 coma here to get
married or to catch cold?" v
, Watch her while she tells you how the
twins, Johnny and Freddie, of the com
pany, caress and .fondle and talk sweet
1. You'll gain the experience of your life.
She is young, only 11 years old, 4 feet
3 inches n height, as I have said, yet the
gamut of human knowledge seems to
have been traversed by her intuitive
mind.
She is a perfect, healthy youngster,
brim full of high spirits, pugnacious if
imposed upon, temperamental to a de
gree, and still Mrs. Chester (Mr. Pol
lard's sister), who has charge 'of the chil
dren, has not the slightest difficulty in
persuading Daphne to obey her least
wish.
The company has the flavor of a school
a flnc. Jolly school for the children.
They arc having a lovely time, and they
love above all things to act and see act
ing. That is their ambition, shared by nearly
every one of them.
Taught to Abhor Lying
And I should say that Mrs. Chester's
mainstay of power In controlling them
and guiding them aright is the utter ab
horrence of lying that she has planted
in all their youthful heads.
If any one of them were known to tell
a falsehood the rest would send the cul
prit to Coventry.
They had Just arrived from California
the other day when 1 called upon
Dauhne.
She rung In Mrs. Chester on me, and
paraded in also all the other 0 to 30
youngsters, her confreres, chums and
stage companions.
Daphne is a full-fledged prima donna,
a comic opera star, one of the most
amazingly precocious young ones I ever
came across; .a tonic, a fusillade of sur
prises. "My word!" she burst out in Simon
pure Australian lingo, when 1 alluded
to her earthquake experiences in Cali
fornia. "We were waked up and the ship was
rooking!"
They were in the State House at Sac
ramento when the great shock came.
"We called ouf. 'Captain. Is the ship
in? My! but it's strong! It's rough,
isn't it?' We all thought the ship was
reeling. 'Can we be killed with this?'
one of us cried. Olive said. 'So, this is
nothing but an earthquake, and will soon
quiet down.'
"Oh. we had to borrow a lot of :moncy
to get up here.
"We cabled to Australia, but we could
not get an answer.
"But we're all right now."
Daphne has been on the stage seven
years with this company, going on when
she was but - years old. and so she knows
more about matters than anyone else in
the company.
"I like boys' parts the best, you know,"
she said.
"I don't like the singing so much, she
added.
San Francisco Disaster the
EW YORK. April 23. (Special cor
respondence.) In the face of tho
tcrrlflc disaster which has fallen
upon the Pacific Coaat there is very lit
tle else thought of or talked of even In
New York. Especially is this the case
in theatrical circles, most of the actors
and actresses being strongly attached to
San Francisco and many have personal
interests there. Before anyone dreamed
that the devastation would be so wide
spread or so complete. In a body the
dramatic profession offered Itself, nor did
it stop at the offer, as is always the case
with these warm-hearted people, the ac
tion was quick. As example of what
It being done, it took Maude Adams ten
minutes to rake fSO in addition to
$3000 she sent out in one evening. Tills
was done by autographing 25 lllhograplis
of herself while the stage manager went
In front of the curtain and announced
that between the first and second acts
the pictures would be sold In the audi
torium. These brought from 52 to 55
apiece, That night's receipts from the
performance of "Peter Pan" netted
5340750, which Included her personal
check for 51000; $230 from J; M. Barrie:
515$ 75 from the members of the company,
and 5111.80 from the employes of the theater-

a special performance of "The Girl of
the Golden West" May 1 at the Bclasco
Theater James K. Hackett and Mary
Mannerlng will give a benefit perform
ance of "The Walls of Jericho" at the
Tremont Theater in Boston on Sunday
evening. This is very remarkable, blnce
such a thing ls unknown in Boston, and
tho Mayor has granted a special license
permitting Mr. Hackett the use of scen
ery and accessories on Sunday. Joe
Weber andhls company are setting up a
bazaar in the empty floor of the Gllsey
House, which has Just been remodeled
as a store. Here Marie Dressier, Flora
Zabellc. Bonnio Magln and other mem
bers of the company will sell goods from
10 in- the morning until 4 In the afternoon.
The chorus girls will act as cash girls
and there will be specialties by Mr.
Weber, Miss Dressier. Miss Magln and
Miss Zabelle. These ladles visited the
local tradesmen to contribute wares, and
Miss Dressier returned the owner of two
pianos, which will be auctioned or sold.
One of the most gigantic benefits Is
planned at the Metropolitan Opera-House
May i. This is to last all day, and it
is given by the Association of Theater
Managers of New York. Practically ev
yy company in tho city will contribute
to the programme, which will last from
11 A. M. until midnight, and the Man
Tigers' Association will contribute 51000

their services are Mme. Tsordlca through

And she's right. She doesn't know what

"Buck up! Buck up! The show Is go

In New York was instantaneous and very
far out of the ordinary. In addition to
the check forwarded she will donate tho

of Miss Roberts' success at a more aus

One can but admire the sturdlncss and
hopefulness manifested by the San Fran
ciscans In the East at the present mo
ment. Indeed the attitude of those whose
homes and business Interests have been
wiped out is such as to be a valuable
lesson to those who must marvel at their
bravery. Some of this may be due to the
absolute and unbounded confidence the
San Franciscan has in San Francisco and
which rises superior even to a calamity
which could hardly be greater. What San
Francisco represented to the business
world cannot be estimated by anyone out
fide of that circle and In musical mat
ters It was a tremendous center all by
Itself. Millllons of dollars are being hur
ried into San Francisco from all sources
and from all cities and states. So far. so
good, since this money will" be used to
alleviate the Immediate suffering which
ls beyond all comprehension, as mil
lionaires have been leveled for the Im
mediate present to the rank of beggars,
but far beyond the tremendous sympathy
which goes with the millions pouring into
San Francisco today. Is the absolute
necessity to the financial circles of the
East and of the world, to restore San
Franclco as quickly as possible to Its
normal burfneps condition. The world at
large cannot afford to lose San Francisco
and Us wealth any more than can the
people who have worked since the days
of 49 to amass this wealth. It is sare
to assume that all the banks will stana
behind the banks of San Francisco, the
manufacturers and the wholesalers of the
entire world will stand ready with credit
and with loans. If need be, behind every
concern willing to go back into business
and into the rebuilding of the city. But.
during this process of upbuilding, which
may take anywhere from two to four or
more years, what is to become of that

doing well, then wc are glad. (The minx
paid this sly compliment with a grace
that stunned me. and. as she saw the
stun, she allowed Just the slightest ripple
of a smile to pass over the side of her
face nearest to me and out of sight of
Mrs. Chester. I also saw her let an eye
lash drop a minute space to produce an
effect that might or might not be consid
ered a wink.)
That girl can narrate a story of al
sorbing Interest to a crowd ' In a room,
keep a string of children amused, and tell
you a whole volume of asides and be-tween-the-llncs
conversation without any
one but yourself knowing anything about
it. I touched her hand once during her
chat with me touched It to call her at
tention away from some dresses one of
the girls had Just brought in. She turned
to roc and resumed her talk. Ten minutes
after that, I was talking to Olive, and
Daphne brushed her fingers over my band
In exact imitation of the way 1 had ar
rested her attention a little while before.
What she doesn't see, and what she
wJll not observe and learn, may Just' as
well be left out of account In the .sum

"I'm the quiet one. y'know, resumed
Daphne.
"Olive talks jnorc." -Mistress

"Johnny and Freddie, there. Could you

I posltix-ely didn't know that she was

"you would not know they were about.
They come upstairs so softly. You
kawn't hear them."
1 found out afterwards that they arc
famous, for their stomping and the noise
that their diminutive selves can make on
occasions suitable to their mischievous
purposes. Daphne wagered me that I
could not tell the twins aiirt if they
went out and changed their notices.
They went out, and immediately there
was a. fine scrambling and a racket as if
One Theme
in
music by themselves In San Francisco?
There is no one to whom they may look
for assistance in the rebuilding period
and they will begin to reap nothing for
several years to come. It consequently
behooves the musicians of every city to
create a fund to bridge them over a
period whose hardships will fall more
heavily upon them than upon any of the
property holders or business men of that
afflicted city.
The relationship between San Francisco
and every city on the Pacific Coast is
very close because many students have
gone from the Northwest to that Western
metropolis for study. San Francisco ls
also related to Boston. Chicago and New
York in a similar manner since a very
large proportion of music students even
at the present time studying in the East
are from San Francisco, so that Indeed
the obligation would seem to rest with
Ihe East as with the West to create a
fund to be put aside for the use of the
musical fraternity exclusively. Of course
It ls not impossible that a few of the
prominent people in the musical world
own enough property in San Francisco to
regain themselves upon the rebuilding of
San Francisco, but the tremendous ma
jority Including church singers, organists,
teachers, orchestral musicians, what of
them? That which could be accomplished
by the musicians of tills country would
be of incalculable help and it would be
done with the purest feeling, devoid of
any element of personal benefit to be
derived; It would be the sort of emotion
which music Itself is supposed to awaken.
If beyond all there would linger the
thought of something returned let It only
be In that spirit which moved the mar
velous pen of Victor Hugo to write, that
of which the following Is but a weak
translation:
Give! five, so that at the latt day
Against all your sins will tire
The prayer of a berr&r. powerful la heaven.
It ls not unlikely that the musical sit
uation in the Northwest as far as travel-
!lng artists are concerned will be very
materially affected by the destruction of
San Francisco, as necessarily the ob
i Jectlve point for all artists was that city.
I Notwithstanding all -the support coming
j from such cities as Los Angeles. San
i Diego. Sacramento. Portland and Seattle
there Is hardly caomth financial support
without San Francisco. Frequently nun-

not mean that an artist cannot draw -one
good house in Portland -or la the other
cities named, or even two, but he cannot
draw five or bc as was the case in San
Francisco, owing to the mach larger pop
ulation. Therefore, until sneh time as San
Francisco ls again able to receive and
support such artists it Is' possible that
the Northwest will suffer unless some
other means are devised to make up the
deficiency-
It is very remarkable the way "Peter

"voice -alone would carry her through the

success among- her companions was the
objection the leading lady had to

were all ready with a dress rehearsal
In the dining-room of a hotel where
they were stopping a few weeks ago.
and then the unaccommodating leading
lady refused point blank to faint on
the floor and run the risk of soiling;

The troupe -was booked to play In
Oakland the -week before the earth
quake, and at the Grand Opera-House
In San Francisco the -week following.
Then they were to go to the Sandwich
Islands, afterward to New Zealand,
and then back home to Australia. Mr.
Pollard Is now In Australia getting
some more children, as the little ones
are constantly becoming big ones and
have to be weeded out. and the show
depends for Its success largely upon
the Illlputlan character of the partici
pants. Mr. Pollard Is expected back
next month. He cabled them some
money, and they are now on their feet
after the California disaster. They
lost their poster paper. lithographs,

ments that were planned ahead.
After playing the week opening to

will go up to the 'Sound, and Whence
take a trip through Canada, and sail for

v Criticism
HERE is what Franklla Fyles. a
New York dramatic critic, says of
Florence Roberts, who recently made
her New York debut:
Why should a woman be punished
more than a man for guilty passion?
Tho problem ls presented again in
The Strength of the "Weak." A. young-
girl Is giving- a reception in her rooms
on her graduation day at a college.
One of her guests is a fine young fel
low, enamored of her. as she Is of
him, but she holds hack from ills woo
ing because she has lived In 'shame
with the man who has paid lor her
education and who expects her to re
join him. That is her situation at the
end of the first act. - .
Tm afraid this play Is " going to
leave a bad taste In our mouths," said
a man to a woman as they lounged in
the .foyer during the intermission.
"If I didn't hope so," she replied. "I
wouldn't let you take me back to see
the rest of It,"
That woman was gratified, no doubt,
when the girl in tho play, after con
fessing her sin to her lover, and being
assured by him that be would marry
her all the 'same, made the appalling
discovery that her fiance was the son
of her protector. No dramatist has
ever found .any other way out of such
a predicament than through suicide.
So Charlotte Thompson ano. Alice M.
Smith, who wrote this girl into it,
made her shoot herselL Thelr.play has
much of the manner and some of the
merit such as It was of the trans
lated French ones with which Clara
Morris made fame.
.Florence Roberts acts the touled girl
who desires to become a clean wife, and
believes she has the chance,, yet has to
die Instead. Now, the only New Yorkera
who had ever heard of "Florence Roberta,
were a few theatrical sharps, who knew
that for years she his played the reper
toires of Mrs. Flake and Mrs. Carter be
yond the Rockies, and that she was not
without plenty of honor In her own coun
try. But she .might be rated away up
a Clara Morris Flake Carter on the edge
of the easy Pacific and away down as
a mere Imitator on the edge of the hard
Atlantic. So? "Well, she surprised,
amazed, spellbound her first Broadway
audience with a ferocity of emotional

lectual COnirOl OL ll U.C i-unxcn,
and I am sure that no success so unex
pected has been made by any actress

However, there Is a sad "If" and a
