Comedy Company to Play Alphonse Daudet's Dramatized "Work at Metropolitan, The Australian Comedy Company "will open a week's engagement at the Metro politan Theater, beginning tonight, and "Will present "Sapho," a dramatization of Alphonse Daudet's book of the same title. This play has been the subject of a great deal of discussion and no little amount of newspaper comment. Olga Nethersole, In New York, first drought it Into prominence in this country. Like many other dramatic productions emanating from French sources, "Sapho" Ss rot, by any means, entirely made up of objectionable suggestiveness, dialogue or incident, but has some commendable fta- George Ellott, as "Sapho." tures, so there is a raison d'etre for its existence. The Australian Comedy Com pany, which will present "Sapho" for the week, beginning tonight, at the Metro politan, has a dramatic version of tne Btory, it is said, as true to the orlgiml as was that used by Nethersole. Claim is mado that all the sparkling dialogue, brlgnt scenes, smart comedy and pathos Bhown in New York are retained; while everything of a doubtful natura that might offend critical taste, has been ex purgated. "Sapho," in story form, is one thing; as a dramatic production, quite an other. MAN IN THE BOX-OFFICE. Maurice Smith's Observations of Ha-, man Aatnre. To the man in the theater box office many opportunities are offered to get sidelights on the peculiar characteristics of human life. "When people appear at the window, their faces are framed, as it were, and the obsorvant man can usually read their natures as readily as he could a printed page. It requires jf person peculiarly adapted to the business to satisfactorily perform the duties of ticket-seller in n ihMr For a dozen years Maurice Smith has stood at the window, made seat reserva tions and dispensed tickets to the 'patrons of Cordray's. During all that tlmo he has pnnen himself to be a diplomat. He possesses a remarkable amount of pa tience a sine qua non for the man who would successfully fill this trying posi tion, he has an excellent memory for faces, and names, and the location of ov ers' seat in Cordray's Theater is indelibly stamped upon his mind. He is a quiot kind of a man, and romembers many In cidents connected with the box office that are of interest. ome people occasionally ask me for a seat 'on the street,' " said he, the other day. "They mean the center aisle of the theater "Why they term it 'the street' s more than I can explain, but as I understand what thoy want, it doesn't make much difference. The "Woman and the Baby. "I will toll you of a funny experience I once had, "whoa we were located onj Third street," said Mr. Smith, pausing to light his cigar. "I was rather now in the business at the time. One after noon, a woman, carrying a babj-r ap peared at the window. She asked: " 'Is this Cordray's Theater?' "I replied, 'Yes, ma'am.' Then the con versation went on .something like this: " 'You have a matinco today, do you notr '"Yes, ma'am. " 'What's the name of the play? "I told her. " 'Has the performance bogunr " 'No, ma'am.' "'What time will the play begin? " 'At 2:30 " 'How much are the tlokets?' " 'They are 25 cents.' " 'Do you think I can catch a car when the show is over? " 'Yes, ma'am; I'll be pleased to see that a car is in waiting for you, when you're ready.' " Thanks. Are you very busy at pres ent?' " 'No, ma'am; I'm not doing anything In particular, Just now.' ' 'Would you mind holding my baby while I go In to see the show?' " Mr. Smith, as he tells the story, vis ibly paled, but he managed to wriggle out of his predicament by saying: "Madam, you might step into the box office. You will there find a lady spe cially provided for the purpose of look ing after the babies of our patrons. She is well supplied with all 'that Infants re quire, in the way of amusement and .n .structlon." Ieft the Baby. "As truly as I live," said Mr. Smith, "the woman came in; left her baby, and took in the play unhampered. "I recall an elderly Hebrew woman who was a regular attendant at our Sat urday matinees," continued Mr. Smith. "Sho was always accompanied by her son. She pleaded po-erty, and generally got a pass. At this time, I was doar keeper. One day I told the woman that her boy was a pretty big one, and that sho must provide a ticket for him. She became vory indignant, and answered: " 'Veil, vat do you vant? He's only a schlld!' " 'How old is her I asked. " Vy, he's only 16,' and she looked fondly upon her big lubber of a boy. She threatened to tell Mr. Cordray, and 1 warmly seconded her suggestion. How ever, she didn't see him. "I had a rather unusual experience last Fall," said Mr. Smith. "There was a big crowd waiting for tickets, when a young fellow, accompanied by a couple of girls, appeared at the window and planked down a $20 gold piece for three seats. I gave him the pasteboards. He was so anxious to get in to see the show that he didn't wait for his change $18 50. As I remembered the numbers of his scats, I sent him word by an usher to call at the box office. When he appeared, he had no recollection of the denomination of the money he had given me. I Insist ed on his taking his change. The lun nlest part of It all was that he was really angry at being called out, and did net show the slightest gratitude at my hav ing returned him his money. It's a queer world." Thing:" Left in Theaters. It's really singular how many people leave their personal belongings in their seats at the theater. Mr. Smith states that at nearly every performance pat rons forget something. The ushers turn In pocket-books., opera glasses, costly lace handkerchiefs, beautiful fans, umbrellas, canes, parasols, etc On proving their title to their property, theater-goers have no difficulty in recovering them. Once in awhile some woman, regardless of the rules of the house against allow ing canines in the theater, will plead at the box office for the admission of a pet lapdog. As Mr. Smith lives utrtotly up to the rules, making no exceptions, such women often demand their money back a refunding process the box office man In variably performs. Not long since a woman ordered soma seats reserved by telephone. There was trouble somewhere on the line, with crossed wires, or something of that sort Mr. Smith couldn't understand the woman's name. It sounded like either "Luse" or "Moose." Finally he marked the envelope containing the checks, MMlss Goose," and later on the woman got her tlokets, though "Goose" wasn't hor name.. Hardly a day goes by that Mr. Smith Is not besieged with applications from stage-stuck girls who desire to enter trie Thespian profession. To all these he gives fatherly advice and recommends any following but that of the stage, the pathway to which is strewn with disap pointments, broken hearts and blasted hopes. Tries Different Tack. "When a maiden grows obdurate, Mr. Smith tries another taok. He Informs her that her voice is bad, and that no amount of culture will remedy the defect. This is an arrow that usually goes home, and the girl, then and there, abandons forever all histrionic aspirations. At least she never comes back. During his career, Mr. Smith remem bers many famous stage people. Soma have long since gone to their long home; some are still living. He has pleasing recollections of Lytell, Bouclcault, Charles Craig, "Walter Fess ler, "Sam" Morse, Victory Bateman, Beatrice Lelb. Kate Clemraons, I. R. Stockwoll, Clyde Herren, Theodore Rob erts, Blanche Mortimor, Carl Smith, "Charlie" Gray, Kate Daglelsch, "Dal" Vinton, "Dave" Murray and many more. "CHILDREN OF THE GHETTO." Fraivley's Production of ZanjrvrHI'a Play a Failure. "The Children of the Ghetto," with which the Grand Opera-Houso In San Francisco was recently reopened by the New Frawley Company, drew out a crit ical audience, in "which there was not, as was expected, a preponderance of liberal-minded Hebrews. "The Children of the Ghetto" has been characterized as a drama that will not appeal to the avorage theater-goer, who is looking for enter tainment, if not excitement. The San Francisco Music and Drama says of the play: 'The plainest and "most peremptory of j the Mosaic laws are poorly understood and readily violated by the unfaithful who are overwhelmingly In the majority. The play bears the true Zangrvlll stamp of authorship, which perhaps wll account for its not appealing to the average audi ence. The Frawley production was superbly staged and equipped, the London Ghetto having been accurately reproduced, and the cast showing the good taste of Mr. Frawley In the matter of selection, yet It had a poor run and had to bo with drawn to make room for another play. GLDAMXGS FROM THE WINGS. Slattern of Interest to Playcoers and Actor Talk, A Providence theater advertises: "Iced lemonade given to th.e lady patrons and cigarettes to the gentlemen, free of charge, at every performance." A vaudeville performer was bombarded with flowers on the Masonic Temple roof garden In Chicago. She took the flowers to a florist the next day and sold them at 30 cents on the dollar, which goes to show that some women are thoroughly up n business matters. The Earl of Yarmouth said he at first received $250 a week from Charles Froh man, who subsequently cut it down to $125 a week. An offer of $40 a weok would be twlco as much as the Earl Is worth, says Peter Robertson. In the San Fran cisco Chronicle. When Mr. Frohman made the reduction ho quickly saw the wisdom of his work. The Brooklyn Citizen says Delia Fox Is in so poor a condition that sho cannot yet realize that the is in a madhoui.

Famous Critic's Vlevrs of Those "Who Have Played tho Part. .. "Writing of Mr. Eothern'a proposed "Hamlet," "Wlllla.ro "Winters, the famous New York dramatic critic, condenses much interest into the following, which not only tells a story, but gives "Winsome. "Wil lie's" views regarding various Hamlets: "Owen Fawcett, who has been engaged for tho part of Polonlus in the projected production of IHarolet,' assigned for next September with E. H. Sothern as the Dane has had a long and varied experi ence in this tragedy, having acted In the play since J557, appearing, first apd last, as Gulldenstern, Rosecrantz, the second actor, Francisco, Osrio and the first gravedlgger. "In 1S57, when James E. Murdoch was a much admired Hamlet, Mr. Fawcett acted in his company as Gulldenstern. In 3S53 he played Francisco and tho second actor to the Hamlet of James H. Taylor. In 1E59 he played Francisco and the sec ond actor to the Hamlet of Barry Sulli van, and Rosencrantx and Osric to the Ha.mlet of D. "Wilmarth "Waller. In 1S60 he played Rosencrantz to tho respective Hamlets of Charlotte Cushman, Edwin Forrest and Edwin Booth. In 3S? he played. Osric to the Hamlet of B, Jx Davenport, and the first grayedigger to the respective Homleta of Susan Denin and George F. De Vere, In 1S63 he played tho first gravedlgger to the Hamlet of John "Wilkes Booth, In the season of lS&i-CG at tho "Winter Gar den Theater, when Edwin Booth forced 'Hamlet' for a run of 100 consecutive per formances. Mr. Fawcett played Osric In the course of the period from 1S65 to 1SS2 he played the first gravedlgger to the Hamlets of Edwin Forrest, Edwin Booth, Charles Kean, Charles Fechter, E. L. Davenport. Edwin Adams, Lawrence. Bar rett and Frederick Paulding. "It ought to be easily possible for Mr. Fawcett to Impart valuable knowledge to the 'stage business' of old aotors In tho character of Hamlet. To have seen Murdoph as Hamlet Is to have seen a pic turesque figure, and to have heard the verse of 8hakespeare chanted with sin gular melody and grace; while to have looked on Charlotte Cushman as the. Dane is to have seen a weird image and hoard wonderfully flno elocution, "Mr. Fawcett has had occasion to observe-and to study a copious assortment of Hamlet Ideals and theories. No con trasts could readily be imagined more striking than were presented In the char acter of Hamlet by the muscular and reverberant Edwin Forrest and the spir itual Edwin Booth; Davenport, with his Inflexible manner, and Adams, with his heedless grace; Charles Kean, with his correct method, and "pudding voice, and John Wilkes Booth, with no method at all; Fechter, with his blonde hair, making fritters of English poetry, and Barry Sullivan, also blonde, with his wig severely parted In the middle and his demeanor and delivery fettered In a strait waistcoat. "But this veteran has s.een "Hamlet at the best, and nothing in the passing day can disturb his memories of the past." COSTUMES FOR ACTRESSES. Good "Work Performed by a Society of German "Women. A year's trial has shown how much the women of the German stage stood In peed of the society formed to help them. Its particular object Is to supply costumes to actresses in need of them. The leading spirits in the organization are a number of titled women, actrosses and women in terested In the welfare of their sex. The costume question has for some years been one of the most absorbing to the actresses of Germany. They re ceive very small salaries. The plays in which they appear are frequently changed. In all the theaters classical as well as modern plays are given 'and an actress must have a large wardrobe to be prepared for the various parts she Is called on to play. There Is another and more potent cause, however, for their need of now costumes. It has been, says the New York Sun, a fad for the women In the larger cities during recent years to dress as elaborate- RIALTO One ly as possible. This or that woman be camo famous for her toilets, and other actresses without equal means undertook to rival her. This expensive dressing on the stag e Is a feature of tho luxury that has recently come Into German life. One theater In Berlin has a reputation espe cially based oh the beautiful dressing of the women there. For some of the actresses who received large salaries this courso was possible. But for most of them it was a struggle not to be kept up. The passion for dressing spread to the provincial towns, where salaries are smaller a.nd the struggle harder still. The pay of these women Is Incredibly small, and every year at the meetings of the Confederation of Gorman Actors j Third and Yamhill Week Commencing Sunday, July 15 MISS GEORGE JJLXAOT 3nSS MADGE CORCORAJf MISS AKMX3 GIXIARD MISS FLORENCE HEPJfER MISS ROSE STANDISH MISS MAY EVAJfS MR.

WYATT PRICES50C, 35c,' 25c, 15a- attempts have been made to Improve the situation. An agreement has Anally been reached between the actors and managers by which the latter aro to furnish all classical and historical costumes to the women members of their companies after this year. But this measure only relieved the situation partly, and the society was formed which has since Its existence dopo so much to lighten tho burdens of the actresses. ' It was not alone struggles against pov erty that this group of women set out to ameliorate, but their work had also an ethical purpose. The members of Impor tance In court and social life pledged themselves to give aJ tljelr dresses for which they no longer had any use to the actresses and promised to urge their friends to do tho same. Ball gowns In particular were solicited, and wealthy actresses promised to give for the use of their less fortunate sisters all tho cos tumes that they no longer needed. Branches of this society were established In Berlin, Vienna, Munich and the other leading cities. Dress In Germany is, rather an eco- nomlcal affair, compared to the expendi tures for the same purpose in some other countries. But there was a sufficient sup ply forthcoming to accomplish a greai work during the first year of the society's existence. A surprisingly large number of actresses were assisted by the society, which proved a splendid reason for its ex istence when the report of Its first year's labors was made public The society has started on Its second year of existence with a larger membership than It had at the outset and with the promise of even greater efficiency. Praise for Conductor Brown. Conductor Charts I. Brown, of the Port land Symphony Orchestra, deserves to the full the congratulations that were given him upon the success attending the series of six concerts by the orchestra under his conductorshlp. Every one of the promises made by Mr. Brown, as to the class of music he would give by his orchestra, has been met, and all expec tations of symphony lovers most happily realized. The concerts were the means of Intro ducing to Portland music-lovers three complete Beethoven symphonies, the sec ond, third, and fifth, together with tha allegretto from the seventh; one of Mo zart's symphonies, and one of Schubert'i every one of which was an Instrumental jewel, and would have been dead to Port land audiences had it not been for Mr. Brown's indefatigable interest in organ izlng the orchestra, and his untiring push in maintaining the organization. Judging from the success that has at tended the concerts at the hands of Port landers, It Is quite likely that we shall enjoy another series next season.
