"Now III bet anything In the world that before you leave you will tell me what a fine fellow Bishop Scaddlng Is," said William H. Crane, as we chatted for a few minutes in his dressing room Just before he "went on", In ''The Sen ator Keeps House" at the Heilig. Why, yes. the bishop la I start- ed. ' : - - ! I knew it. I knew it Everybody In ' Portland, from 'bootblacks to bankers; ' have some gracious thing to say of the bishop. X Just Wish somebody would say something against him and give me chance for argument, but there Isn't' a ghost of a chance. You' see, I know the bishop myself," and the face of the 1 actor lighted up with that vitality and j humor that makes him equally delight ful to know, both on and off the stage, "We hold the same views on so many things that we can chat for hours with mutual pleasure I hope. Only today he asked me what I did when I felt -that I wasn't quits, reaching my- audience. When the lack of attention showed some th'rmr to be wrong, and I replied that I did Just what he did probably when he cbuld feel a lack of sympathy between him and his audience when he v was preaching.

Joe Jefferson, who strong ly disliked Mansfield. Once paid me a tribute which I- value mora than many other kind words that have been said of me. I was acting a play. 'A Fool for Fortune,' where I died In the last act. Joe liked the play and Insisted on my reading it to him. ' 'When I finished It, he said. 'Bin, that is a very beautiful play, but you should not die In that last act. You had beter change that finale. Why, Joe, it can't be changed,' I protested; 'it if logical and right with that ending, to keep me alive would spoil the play.' "'That may ne, ne repuea: -ins pud- llo goes to see Henry Irving and it ex pects him to die; it goes to see Mans field fend It hopes he wm die, out wnen they go to see you tney want you to live. Honestly, Bill, you Can't afford to die.'" . "What do you think of the stage as a desirable profession lor a young man?" I asked tha veteran actor. "It all depends on the young man. That Is what is said about all profes sions I suppose, hut it is especially im portant with the profession of an actor. If one has the dramauo instinct, one will succeed. If one hasn one won't suoceed, no matter how hard one tries.

She puzzled a while and then finally assured me that she supposed " it was a Very deep-voiced tragic part When. I assured her she was wrong,' she seemed greatly amazed, and then asked me what I thought was the most difficult thing to do on the stags and 1 replied 'Nothing.'

The "movies talk" at: the Orpheum this week.. Anyone who yesterday saw the initial exhibition of Edison's new kinetophone, .which 1s featured at the -house, cannot deny that the wizard of East Orangs has la his latest invention perfected the synchronisation of move ment in the motion pictures and the i sounds of the phonograph. The mov'e I ment of the pictures is accompanied in , perfect time by the corresponding sound, , But short reels were displayed yester day, the first showing a lecturer who spoke brief ly of the marvels of the kinetophone. As the lecturer's lips moved the sound of his voice issued ap parently from his mouth. When he threw a plate to the floor the crash was distinctly heard, and when dogs came in they barked naturally. Musical Instruments, including comet and violin, were 'tried out as was the voice of a singer. The second part of the picture act, which la sandwiched, between regu lar numbers on the program, was an offering of a few moments with the Edison minstrels. " May Hot Sout Movies. Whether or not the kinetophone will ever take the place of the regular movies is a question, but there seems little reason to think that the new in vention threatens to drive vaudeville or the "legitimate" from the boards. The phonographic raspings and tha accom panying click and whirr ot the machines is still there to affect what even with out them would scarce be a perfect Illu sion of the real thing. ! The greatest value of the kinetophone seems to lie In Its possibilities in an historical way. As the announcer in the films says, it will be a wonderful thing to record . the appearance and speech of the great orators, statesmen, actors and singers of today and then file them away for use by future gen erations. Just so it would be a wonder ful thing today if we had such records of . Washington, Lincoln and other of our national history makers. As a novelty the Kinetophone prom Ises to continue an unusually popular at. traction. The machine was heartily re ceived by yesterday's audience. Furnishes Many a Tight.
