Truth.
Early In the sixties a foreign inventor
offered the secret of a new explosive that
he had discovered to the British govern
ment. He asked for it an insignificant
price, something under 600. After he
had been kept waiting three months and
had made repeated applications for a de
clslon, he was informed that his offer was
declined with thanks, as neither the War
Office nor the Board of Trade saw any
thing in his invention. The foreigner was
a Swede, by name Alfred Nobel. His in
vention was dynamite. My friend has
only too good cause to remembmer the in
cident, for Nobel had offered him a half
share In the profits if he would finance'
him to the extent of o00 kroner. Unfor
tunately for him, my friend was young
and stui cherished, illusions in regard to
the wisdom of governments and their of
ficials, and the consequence was that
when be learned the views of the British
experts he also declined the offer with
thanks. But for his simple faith he would
today be a millionaire.

York that Ben Greet had been offered
the Chair of dramntlr Htnmtiir at thA
University of California in Berkeley, and
tnat in ail probability he would accept,
there was more than ordinary interest
manifested. It was not alone because
Of Mr. Greet's onnularitv. .hnt on account
of the great future that such an atti
tude opens to every man and woman In
the dramatic nrnfA:!nn- It In nn sdmls-
slon that the dramatic profession Is a
notJio one, and that the men and women
connected with the stage, either as active
personages as well as playwrights, may
hope for recognition In the world of let
ters.
All Influences of the day tend to ele
'ate the stage, "but there la nothing that
rould have tho. samn lnfltine ana wide
spread effect as for Mr. Greet to accept
the chair for which he Is so eminently fit
ted. The Dersonalltv of this very inter
esting man Is most fascinating because of
Its great simplicity. It were almost un
necessary to state this fact because the
very manner in which he elects to present
the drama, the spirit in which he con
ceives it, proves him a devotee to the
letter and not to scenic effects. From
the standpoint of Intellect Mr. Greet must
ob reckoned among tnose wno give rortn
such rays as to reach much farther than
he knows himself or can follow. Ono
must also marvel at his education, which
is oroad In the broadest sense, and deen
In the deepest. While this Is not the first
time that an actor has been identified
with the educational side of life. It Is cer
tain that no one has been honored in
such a unique manner. Henry Irving de
livered his lecture on the "Art of Act
ing" before the students of Harvard In
2SS5, and he has frequently been heard In
other American colleges, as well as at Ox
ford and In Edinburg. Frederick Warde
is quite as well known on the lecture
platform as he Is on the drn.matlr ntspc
and, as stated a few weeks ago, In all
prouaDlllty next year he will devote him
self to lecturing before colleges and uni
versities In this country very widely.
Joseph Jefferson has often appeared De
fore the students of the various colleges,
and at least ten years aeo Richard Mans

one of us, no matter how intellectual, but
wnat wouia minger for the snap and go
oi tne .win century, nut as a bit of his
tory of tho histrionic art we nr much in
debted to Mr. Mansfield for permitting us
to juage ior ourselves tne merit ot the
man who inspired not only his successors
in French literature, but unon 'whnm !h
-classic comedy of nearly all countries
rests.
Would it be possible to pass this mo
ment without touching upon the compari
son between the comedy of Shakespeare
and that of Mollere? Shakespeare lived
In a day that was almost contemporary
with Mollere, there being 58 years be
tween the birth dates of the two great
figures in classical literature. Shakes
peare will be modern in the years to
come, while Mollere wrote for his day,
and his Influence was felt down the cen
turies, but his day passed on. Satire is
of the head, and no matter how delicious
It is who but those exceptionally versed
in customs and history could appreciate
the point and finesse, and for people at
large, even Intellectual and intelligent
people, the sparkle must ot necessity be
dimmed. How can we say what it was in
Shakespeare that has made him vital for
all time? Who has gone beyond him In
philosophy and in logic, and who In the
depicting of character not the character
of the day, the customs, the manners of
people in a single era or In a single coun
trybut the people ot all time and the
people of the world? Mollere Is French,
and he Is the portrait painter of Individual
weaknesses upon which he throws the
lime light, and everything else he sinks
into perspective a beautiful and artistic
perspective but perepective withal.
Shakespeare has no country; he "hap
pened" in England, but ho Is of the world,
as Beethoven was of the world, and in
him there was the ebb and flow of all the
cosmic forces. As he painted, each de
tail was drawn with the same strength
as. was the great whole, and everything
was an entity of which he understood the
most minute element. That Mansfield
ahould select the role of Alocste (the mis
anthrope) Is far from astonishing, since
he revels in those abnormal characters
which would form a blot upon the pic
ture, if it were not the picture itself. I
am tempted to ask such readers as are In
terested to get down the dusty volume
and read for themselves the story so ex
quisitely told by Mollere. Nothing will be
easier than to Imagine Richard Mansfield
In the dark role, the gloom of which Is
accentuated by the frivolity about him.
and while this has not. the elements of
durability of his "Beau Brummel" and
the rest ot his roles, It has a high Intel
lectual power and shows him in an in
tensely superior capacity. In his gruff
and testy moments he Is a strong con
trast to the fllnnanev anil -th
around him, and his adoration for - the
xascinaung and coquettish Celimene, who
in the end deceives him, is as fine a piece
of work as Mansfield hnc pv.
Through all this delineation one cannot
tan to ne movea to admiration of the
manner in which Mansfield has followed
to a shade the intellectual thread of the
writer. It could hardly be expected, how
ever, that the rest Of his mninanv nVni
do likewise, and just in this particular
Miss Eleanor Barry falls short- in

whether the personal charm of Annie
Russell and the Interest which New York
always, shows In her doings, or whether
the name of Israel Zangwlll, was the
magnet that drew such a large audience
to the Criterion Theater on Monday night
when Miss Russell and her company pre
sented, for the first time, "Jinny, "the
Carrier," another story of rural England
told In a four-act comedy by that bril
liant Englishman. Mr. Zangwlll has
shown in his play, "Merely Mary Ann,"
his leaning toward the homely side of
life, and the scene is laid this tlmo In the
Essex village of West End, where
"Jinny" Quarles (Miss Russell) lives
alone with her grandfather, who, as his
ancestors before him, had had the monop
oly of a messenger line between West
End and Long Yeoford. When the scene
opens, "Jinny" is running the line alone,
and she makes her appearance behind a
white horse In a conveyance that might
boast of having "come do-.7n" from the
first of her ancestors who attempted the
fetching and carrying business. On the
outskirts of the frog farm belonging to
Caleb Flint and his wife, she meets
their wayward son Will, the role being
naturally undertaken by Oswald York,
less than a year the husband of Miss
Russell. He is returning from Canada,
and after a little frothy conversation
with Jinny in a teasing manner he an
nounces his intention of opening a coach
line to ccoss her route. In the second
act the rival line has become so powerful
that Jinny sees her customers transferred
to the line of Will Flint, and she Is try
ing to conceal this fact from her aged"
grandfather, but, as might be expected,
the neighbors inform him -ot the condi
tions and he takes It very much to heart.
When Will arrives upon the scene he
states that he had no idea of injury to
Jinny's business, and he asks her to re
tire while he talks business with her
grandfather. He proposes a partnership
which Is very satisfactory to the old
man. and when he puts the matter to
Jinny it Is done in such a way that she
misconstrues the partnership offer as
Lines That Make a Thriller
Analysis Which Solves Secret of the True Melodrama.
THE quiet young man In working
dress suddenly crosses left and
strikes tho broadcloth-clad noble
man squarely In his wine-flushed face.
(Sensation.)
The guests flock from all parts of the
house to the scene.
"By what right do you strike this
man?"
The young fellow In blue flannel
straightens as If ready to repeat the dose
and cries defiantly:
"By the right of any man to defend the
honor of a true American woman!"
Who of the thousands who havo
watched this hackneyed scene upon a
hundred stages and In a hundred plays
who could not, setting out from that
point, before the roaring galleries began
to calm themselves, plan in hlB mind from
start to finish a whole rlp-roarlng, red
hot melodrama? Villains that frowned
thunder storms and heroes that snap out
thrilling sentences that flash like the
jagged lightning. Why, the Inspiration
for endless melodrama Is in a lew woras:
"The mother Is dead; now for the child."
"Quick, the will! Now tbey are at
our mercy!"
"Sign those papers or die!"
'No!" as" the hero staggers in, clothing
In shreds, face covered with blood, but
with pistol leveled at the villain. "No.
Not while Clyde Daring lives to defend
her!"
Insure Success of Drama.
TitVinfr vien ltnoo mii' nnnirt a. melo

could a melodrama iau.'
Take the stock phrases, shake them up
in a hatji.rrange them in the ordor in
which they fall out this Is the recipe for
ninir Throw them all back, shake
them again, dump them dut and you have
another play. And so oy maennitoiy.
Snv. for Instance, tha ootDOurri was
cVinVon nn and tho. first nhrase to fall
out was the fine old sentiment. "Not Rich
Enough to Steal.' Good, tnafs tne uue
for the play. Now shake them up again
and see what you have:
"Are you sure no one can see us here?"
"Quite sure."
Shutting your eyes you see the crafty
villain meeting his chief accomplice in a
quiet nook and the latter ready to di
vulg6 the fact, that he has the stolen pa
pers, the recovery of which will keep the
hero occupied until a few minutes before
the close of the last act.
"Then I belle my feelings, for I am
miserable mlz-zerr a bul! It seems I
shall go mad! What shall I do?"
"What shall I do?"
Can't you see that tho dark-complexioned
villain has her In his power and has
tried to be pleasant by remarking on how
bright she is looking this morning?
"I would do anything in the world to
make you happy."
Every Villain Says This.
Was there ever a villain that didn't say
this? Was there ever a maiden In dis
tress that didn't answer:
"If you love me, leave me leave me and
never mention this to me again!"
"Oh, how that makes me hate you
loathe you, detest you, hate you!"
When she slalms the door after her
what Is there left for the villain to say
but:
"Curse you, I will teach you that I can
hate, loo!"
"At least I will show her in her truo
light!"
"She must be mine."
The villain -Is always convinced of this
as the sobbing victim of his schemes goes
off the stage howling:
"Then he does know all!"
See the letter falling from her "nerve
less grasp." Papa, with his millions,
knows that she has married a chimney
sweep.
"Now for a look inside."
Can't you see that as soon as the hero
thrusts his head In the door, the villain
he Is tracking will bat it off and .leave
him senseless in the burning building?
"Take that and that and that and
that!"
Now the villains are getting It right
and left from the hands of little Johnny
Jones, who has tracked them to their lair
and is rescuing his stalwarts whom they
hold prisoners.
"I yet hold the message. Who will tako
it to him?"
The old drunken apple wo man throws off
her disguise and John Carr, the detec
tive, appears, seizes the precious paper
from the bound and handcuffed messenger
and Is off on love's divine adventure.
Thrillers for Any Play.
Here are a few to be found in any prop

matrimonial. Upon her discovery that
she was mistaken, there Is a quarrel,
which ends In the grandfather vowing
that Will shall never cross the threshold
unless on his hands and knees, and Will
asserts that he will never return until
the old man carries him over In a trunk.
The third act works through a flood In
the valley, and by it Will has lost his
horses and broken his arm, but Jinny's
life has been spared, and she comes In a
boat to the attic of the house where the
family has been driven by the swollen
stream. She has not heard of Will's 111
luck, and teases him about the situation,
which ends in his proposal of marriage.
There Is a delightful love scene, which Is
purely Zangwllllstlc In its simplicity and
In Its directness, and when the engage
ment is practically definite he remembers
his oath to her grandfather, and, as she
cannot be Induced to leave the old man,
they are as far apart as ever. In the
fourth act the point seems quite a bit
strained, notwithstanding the humor of,
the situation, when in starting for Can'
ada Will carries his trunk, with the as
sistance of his father, who collapses near
Jinny's home and goes there to recu
perate his forces. Then Jinny plans a
subterfuge by which Will Is made to trade
his big trunk for her smaller one, and,
bringing him to the threshold, she per
suades him to get Into the -trunk and in
duces her grandfather to drag the trunk
across the threshold.
"Jinny, the Carrier?' Is charming and
genuinely Interesting, but It would be dif
ficult to believe that It will have the tre
mendous success of "Merely Mary Ann,"
which, after running all season In New

this year, and on Monday night Eleanor

week Rusco, who Is one of the deepest
students In the occult sciences, will af
ford rare and unique entertainment at the

Tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock Rusco

by making a blindfolded drive through
the streets and finding a pin and a book
previously concealed by a committee com
posed " of citizens. On returning to the

find a word which has been selected by
the committee. This word the mind
reader will read, also giving the number
of the page on which It Is printed. This
entire performance will be conducted suc
cessfully by Rusco, who will never for an
Instant have his eyes open. This, one of
the most Intricate tests of mind-reading,
will be followed by others- equally as won
derful during the matinees and night per

all contamination of the atmosphere.
No one should miss this treat, which
