STAGE JEALOUSY.
Example of the -Ctisseclnes" of Rival
Actor and Actresses. )
I Boston Globe,
The proverbial jealousy of actors
; has been a frequent subject of disserta
tion, rrites Alfred Trumble in an ex
change. I observed an evidence of it
' the other night, and I will venture to
sav I was one of a very few people in
that audience, which filled the house,
that noticed it. The star had had
some row with his leading man that
day, and the latter, at the com
mencement of one of his supe
rior's speeches to him, suddenly com
menced to back up the stage. You
must understand that in a stage man-
agement, when an actor has an im
portant speech to deliver, the person or
people to whom he is supposed to be
speaking occupy positions a little in ad
vance of him, down stage, so that he
may address them, and at the same time
have his face turned to the audience.
A speech with the back to the specta
tors loses all its effects unless, which is
rarely the cas, that position is actually
called for by the business. If the listen
ers move up stage until the speaker is
between them and the footlights, he
naturally lias to tarn his back to the
audience or talk over his shoulder to a
person behind him, either of which
operations utterly destroys the effect of
what he says. I ,
This is exactly what the leading man
did. Moving back, step by step, he
forced the star to turn and speak to
him, and the best and most effective
lines in the play thus were delivered
without a whisper of applause when,
by all experience, they should have pro
voked a roar.
The leading man w.vs discharged that
night ; but, as he remarked to his friends
next day :
I got even with him, the loafer!
He'd rather lose a thousand dollars
than a round, and the whole piece
went for nothing after that."
Next to depriving a rival of applause,
the jealous actor loves to destroy the
effect of that which is accorded him.
Thus you find him ever ready to inter
rupt the plaudits about to be or in
course of being bestowed. To explain.
Tn every part of any prominence on
the stage there are certain speeches, or
as they are professionally called "lines,"
!which can be relied on to provoke ap
plause. Consequently, when these are
spoken, there ought to be a brief pause
'after them, to give the applause a
chance to , start. This privilege is
tacitly conceded, and one actor is sup
posed to accord it to another.
Bat often the jealous player, as soon
as a rival finishes one of these speeches,
will commence his reply before the
audience get a chance to applaud. .Then
the bravos are either checked short, or
are without force, as most of the people,
who would otherwise be applauding,
are listening in order not to loso the
thread of the scheme.
- Actors will coolly take to themselves
applause showered on another, too
Thus. during a performance of
"Olivette," the lady singing the Count
ess de itousillon made a nit whu-n was
by no means to the liking of the artist
impersonating Olivette. In the second
act a duet occurs between them, and at
its conclusion a tremendous round of
applause was sent up for the countess.
Olivette calmlv walked to the foot
lights, acknowledged the praise which
belonged to another, and repeated her
verse of the song without paying the
slightest attention to the anything but
subdued hiss which ran through the
house.
One night at the Bowerv theatre.
New York, an actor with a somewhat
indistinct voice was playing a part in a
rather "pianissimo" tone. A boy in the
gallery called to him : 44 W by dont vou
advertise for vour voice ?"' and one of
the other actors on the stage nodded at
the poor player and made a movement
as if carrying a glass to his lips. The
hint was taken at once, and a chorus of
cries broke forth, and a perfect tempest
of hisses.
The wretched actor became confused
and almost lost what little voice he
had. This confirmed the impression
conveyed by his enemy's pantomime,
and the whole house broke into a pan
demonium of hisses, howls, catcalls and
objurgations. The man was not in the
least degree intoxicated, but shame
and terror actnallv drove him frantic
He rushed off the stage, pursued by the
curses and derisive cries of the audience
and out of the theatre, and never
stopped till he got home in his stage
dress, and a fever followed that nearly
killed him.
Yhat the .fcnsrlisli call "mugging is
a favorite means adopted by malicious
actors to spoil a rival's scenes. One ha9
an impassioned speech, or along one,to
deliver himself of. . During this time
the other is idle. If he makes a ftce at
the speaker or a derisive gesture.
scores of the audience see it, a ripple of
laughter runs through the house,
. and tlie scene is spoiled
Thus, a few years ago, while Charles
Ii. Thorne, Jr., was leading man at
the Chestnut street theatre, Philadel
phia, a super, whom he had cursed for
being in his way, nearly got him hissed
from the stage. The play was Bulwer
Lyttons "Money. Thorne played
Alfred Evelvn. In the gambling-house
scene there were supers scattered about
"the stage, supposed to be plaj-ing. The
insulted one was among these. At the
decisive epoch of the scene, when all
eyes were upon Thorne, and all ears
bent forward for his words, one
gamester laid his finger alongside of
his nose and communicated a most
ludicrous contortion to his face. Some
gallery boys saw it and commenced to
titter. The super winked and rolled
his eyes, and the great scene of the act
ended in roars of laughter, to put an
end to which the curtain had to be
rung down,
"Guying a scene" is a term well
known, probably, to all playgoers.
How many, however, are aware of its
meaning ?" To "guy" a scene or a piece
means in plain English, to make fun of
or burlesque it. "Guying" is a terrible
weapon in the hands of an actor enemy.
Suppose Miss A. and Mr. B. have a
scene together in which Miss A. is all
fire and passion, while Mr. B. has to
listen and "feed" her, that is, speak
lines on which her replies depend for
their effect. Mr. B. has a grudge
against Miss A., and whenever he has a
line to speak, does it as he ought not
to; repeats it flippantlj if its import is
serious, or with mock solemnity if it
should be light and airy. The result is
that the audience laugh at him, and the
serious efforts of Miss A. go for noth
ing. "Guyers" do not rely on their chances
of distorting the meaning of their
Bpeeches alone. They will dress a part
improperly, wear the wrong wig, make
np as they ought not to, in order to
perfect their work. There was once a
performance given here by a well
known actress, who was taking a benefit.
The company supporting ner were
called to play without salaries. One of
them, the low comedian, took offence
at this. It was a modern piece, and the
part he was cast for in it was
comio servant. It was an unim
portant part, but the only one in his
line in the plav. and he had to
accept it. He avenged himself by mak
ing up as a camp-meeting preacher.
minus the hymn-book and hat, and
played a numerous servitor like a grave
digger on a holiday. The piece was
spoiled, for at every climax he had to
come on the audience roared at him and
forgot the play in their excitement. He
was discharged, but the season was at
an end. He only lost a week s salary
and had the pleasure of giving his
enemy a fit of the blues, which all the
pecuniary return of her performance
could not gild.
Nothing distresses an actor or actress
so much as to see people in the aud
ience following their speeches in a play
book. This species of annoyance is so
serious to nervous people that they
actually lose control of themselves and
forget the lines their tormentors are
timing them on. Only the other night
a couple of actors occupied a box at a
Shakespearean performance here
for the express purpose of applying
this torture to an enemy on the staga
When the curtain went up they pro
duced a couple of plav books, and in
full view of audience and actors com
menced to follow the piece. Whenever

or misquoted in any wav, they wouL
put their . fingers on their books and
nod signmcantly to one another, uy
the end of the first act they had every
one from the stars to the supers in a
frenzy of nervous excitement, and the
play would undoubtedly have degen

not gone out to get a drink and been

return and resume their campaign.
What the Craaky IoctorC Wrote.
T. C. Crawford in Chicago News.
During the management of Garfield's
case Dr. Bliss received in all 7,000
letters from various people throughout
the country. Four thousand of these
letters related to patent appliances in
the shape of beds, pillows, and cooling
apparatuses. Thirty-five hundred of
the letters came from all classes of in
dividuals. Some of the most silly and
idiotic of the letters received were
from men calling themselves doctors,
One fool suggested that the pus should
be drawn out of Garfield s wound with
a svringe, and the vacuum filled
up immediately by British oil.
Another advised the placing of
and a silver tube in the wound
have a calf suck the pus out. ' A
number advised the application of cow
manure to the wound. A spiritual
medium wrote that she had, in a trance,
received a revelation from the spirit
world locating the bullet. She said it
"lav between the bowls and the
ovaries." One letter-writer advises the
placing of a piece of steel under the
president s pillow to prevent nightmare
.Another advises the raising of the pres
ident s hips so that the ball would have
a chance to drop out.
"What a mad world is this" would be
very clearly demonstrated in looking
over this wonderful correspondence.

lic. San Francisco Chronicle.
Now here is the South American
republic of the future in embrvo. With
a sensible constitution, a congress of
two houses like ours, a president
salaried at 20,000 a year, vice presi
dent $10,000, cabinet ministers $9,000
each, free schools, free religious
worship, every port open to immigra
tion, which is flowing in at the rate
of 50,000 a year, lands at the
lowest prices sufficient in extent for a
population of 100,000,000, and re
sources in cattle, sheep, horses, wool,
wheat, corn, and fruit on the grandest
scale, the Argentine Republic bids fair
in time to reach as high a figure among
the nations of the earth as the United
States touches now ; and when that time
comes, the great republic of the north
and the great republic of the south,
with an equally great one in the far off
south seas, ought to express together a
controlling influence in the politics of
the whole world.
A quaint Old Medical Work.

Dr. Greeley, of Providence, R. I.,
has a large collection of old and rare
books. Among others is one over 200
years old, called "English Physician En

An ointment of toad's fat was sup

diseases of the body and mind ; and a

most obdurate swain, perhaps because
the nature of the medicine was such as
to compel him to throw up his previous
engagements. The common or garden
toad of Vie pres&nt day must, indeed,
admit with sorrow that virtue lias gone
out of him.
A UAlikET FOIl VOltKS.
A small boy dragged a large cloth
bag over the sands at Coney island. He
rummaged among the seaweed and
picked out hundreds of corks.
"What are you going to do with
them?" asked a bystander.
"1 sells them to a man in W atcr
street for 50 cents a bushel."
"How many bushels can you get in a
day?"

Tho old lady sipped har tea compla

went on, half retrospectively, "were

and she smiled at her granddaughter.
"Of course I hear a great deal of their
doings now, but it makes no impres
sion on me, except as illustrating the
power of money and impudence."
At this point 1 he Herald man ven

old family are known as 'van Pelt.1

You see my family, never knew them, of

got so rich, and m everybody's mouths,
I suppose I would have forgotten them
altogether. Let me see" and the
granddaughter filled up another cup o
tea. The kind old lady sipped it, the
while deep in thought. I was born
eight miles from here, and I was 12 years
old when 1 came in town to school
Then the 'liaritan house' was in ful
blast. 'C. Vanderbilt, proprietor,' I
remember was on a big sign. We
school girls, I know, for several sum
mers used to go down town past the
steamboat docks and up on Shuneman's
lull, to pick blackberries. We were
ai-wavs a little shv of Vanderbilt's hotel.
for" even away back in those days it was
rough. But old Mrs. Vanderbilt was
kind and good, and when she wasn't
too busy scrubbing and so on, she
always had a kind word for us. She
was a young woman then, and vigorous,
and now she did work, Ui course
we girls from "up-town" didn't
dare to let anvbody know that
we ever spoke to any of the inkeeper's
people, but she was good to us. Many
a glass of milk I've had from her. But
I never liked to see her serve out rum
to people. She did that while 'Corneel'
was awav. The bov the first bov.
William he's now the great William H.,
I remember well as a chubby-faced lit
tle chap about 10 or 11 vears old. His
father used to bring shad up iu his
111 M t
snaiiop in tne spring Hudson river
shad. Mrs. Vanderbilt used to have a
market for it alwavs and the bov would
deliver it akout. I know iu our old
boarding-school wo never could get shad
in the spring till Capt. Vanderbilt's
shallop got iu. Since they've all got so
rich, a story came out that young Van
derbilt's veritable old basket iu which
he used to carry the shad is still in ex
istence here, but that is untrue. The
boy never had a basket. He carried
the shad strung on a hickory 'withe,'
such as theT used to have in the old
davs. I remember it well."
"When did the Vanderbilts leave New
Brunswick, madam ?"
"Oh, that I couldn't tell vou. I left
school about 1833, and I believe they
were here then. I remember hearing
it said that more children were bor.i
here, but then, 3-ou see, we never knew
them at all they were, of course, not
in our circle. Since they have grown
so rich we natural! v know of them and
hear of them, and remember who thev
are, but that is all. I remember old
Mrs. Vanderbilt most kindly. She was
a good, motherly Woman, and, by her
thrift, excellent sense and untiring in
dustry, I've heard said, she made 'Cor
