A Retired Performer of Fifty Years
Ago Writes a Pamphlet to Show
That Generation How to Get on the
Stage and Kow to Become an Actor.
From the .Yen- York Mail ami Express.
I picked up at an old bookstall the other
day a curious little pamphlet, picturesque,
with penciled notes, no tv faded and almost
illegible, and the leaves yellow with age,
written some fifty or sixty years ago, and
written to answer that broad anil sweeping
question, evidently propounded os fre
quently and industriously by the youths
and maidens of our grandfathers's time os
it is in our own day and generation:
‘•ln what way can I get on the ‘regular’
stage?”
It is to be noted that the aspirant for
Thespian honors always designates the
every-day stage, or. more literally speaking,
the every-night uud matinee stage, as tins
“regular” stage, in obvious contradistinc
tion to the wooden affairs made familiar to
them by their limited experiences, which
are either platforms or segments of the par
lor floor, and wholly guiltless of footlights,
traps, wings, flies, flats and other fasci
nating professional appurtenances. These
impromptu affairs are never named by the
amateur Thespian in conversation, but it is
to be presumed that in the inmost
recesses of their thoughts the parlor floor,
the platform and other makeshifts are de
scribed as the “irregular” stage—the
wretched and unsightly chrysalis—which,
in the course of time, will be transformed,
it is fondly hoped, into the butterfly with
all its attendant color and brilliancy.
The answer to the question, “How shall I
become an actor?” (or an actress) now, in
the year INS 7, would he extremely interest
ing if set down in conformity with the parts
in the cast, but the answer to the question
embodied in this half a century-old pamph
let has elements of quaintness in which a
more modern effort would, of necessity, be
wholly lacking. Here is the title page:'
“THE amateur, or gvtde to the stage,
containing lessons for theatrical novices, in
stiueting them how to obtain a first .appear
ance; how to conduct themselves in a green
room; bow to go through a rehearsal and
first performance. The necessary dresses
und properties described. The prices; how
and where to obtain them; how to dress,
paint and makeup for a part; salaries and
rules; with all
the rudimentary information neces
sary to lead a stranger to the stage,
by a retired performer.”
The running head over the pages entitles
the pamphlet, more simply and briefly,
“how to be an actor.”
The first advice of the retired performer
in case “you have fully determined to em
brace the theatrical profession as a means of
livelihood,” is to address a modest letter to
the manager of a respectable theatre or
regular dramatic company previous to the
commencement of the season, or to call
upon him and acquaint him with your
desire to become an actor, and make
known your willingness to Degin nt
the foot of the dramatic ladder. The re
tired performer cautions the actor or would
be actor writing to a manager for an
engagement to pay the postage on his Jetter
J state distinctly what "kind of business he
is capable of performing, or if the writer
is new and unknown in the profession, tells
him to accompany the letter with a recom
mendation from some reputable actor, man
ager or editor. In advising the applicant to
take the salary required the pamphlet
writer premises that the salaries paid to
stock actors are, at the time he writes, one
third, nay, sometimes one-half lower than
paid in former times.
A “leading man” in a fi:st-class theatre,
he says, will command at present from $25
to S3O a week, with about two benefits dur
ing the season on liberal shares. Did Kyrle
Bellew or Osmond Tearle or “Bob” Mantell
say anything' A first low comedian from
120 to $25 a week and two benefits. AVhat
remark was that Francis Wilson made? A
“heavy business man,” the retired perform
er goes on to say, who performs such parts
as “Perardo” in the "Wife,” the “Ghost” in
“Hamlet,” and “Banquo,” “Buckingham”
and the principal villains of the drama,
from sls to S2O. Walking gentlemen are
catalogued at sl3 to sls, and “Charles,”
who marries the pouting ward in the farces,
is rated t the same. The retired performer
still further encourages tho novice by re
marking that this is a slight glance at the
salary list of a first-class theatre, that there
are second and third-class establishments
where au actor is compelled to do double
for one-third and perhaps one-half of the
above rates:
Think of a leading man at $lO a week!
HOW TO GET IN AT THE TOP.
The pamphleteer having pointed out how
the profession may lie entered by beginning
at the bottom, goes on to discourse with un
feigned reluctance of how it may be entered
at the top. His wisdom is condensed in this
way:
“Call upon the manager of some respect
able theatre and ascertain the terms on
which you can have the use of the house.
His price will be in accordance with the size
of his establishment or the run of his busi
ness, say from 8100 to 8280. He will cither
require the money in advance or a responsi
ble person as security, and will give you the
right to the whole of the receipts above a
specified sum, thus allowing you an oppor
tunity by your filling the theatre to make a
debut.”
The payment of the 6100 to 6280 is evi
dently contemplated by the writer as a pay
ment for the manager's company as well as
his house, because he goes on to say:
“When the time appointed for your ap
pearance approaches you will be notified
from the theatre to attend a rehearsal,
which yon will attend with punctuality.
Upon entering the theatre, either in the
green-room or Itehind the wends, you pav
the ladies and gentlemen whom you may
meet the respectful courtesy of lifting your
hat and tendering them the usual compli
ments of the morning.”
The writer advises the novice net to swag
ger; hints that such assumptions make great
spovt for the “funny ones of the theatre,”
and tells him that if he is modest, dignified
and ivapectful, that lie will secure the hearty
respect. and assistance of every lady anil
genttamau in the company, lie cautions
them against acting at rehearsals and
vouchsafe* the information that regular
perf<vtaers seldom indulge in loud speaking
at rehearsals, but simply go correctly
through the situations anti stage business
and run roughly through the dia
logues. He enjoins especially on
him the desirability of finishing a
speech, which is to bo followed by
an exit, at the wing, remarking Unit nothing
is more ineffective than to end such a
speech in the middle of the stage and then
fo walk off. The retired performer makes a
separate paragraph about kissing on the
Mage, and warns the novice to let no awk
ward timidity rqetniin him from going
through such delicate actions with proper
effect, as the ladies of tho profession, how
ever modest, or retired privately, very prop
erly understand this a distinct matter of
business, and will not, provided the novice
is gentlemanly, take offense or Intimidate
him l>y any undue reserve.
A WORD TO THE WISE.
Having shown how an arrangement could
have been inode with an obliging manager,
whereby tho amateur of fifty years ago was
elile to conic forward without any prelimi
nary apprenticeship ns “Hamlet,” or “Ite
nwo,” or "Clnudo Molnotte,” and have him
self advertised in the good, old-fashioned
way as “a young gentleman—liis first np
-1 “‘lU'ance on any stage,” tho guide and ni''li
ter counsels the youth to make the acquaint
ance at once of some actor of good judg
ment and Mtundiiig. He reiterates that the
adventure is a bitd one, but says this is the
■icst tiling to do under the
cireumutancca. Ho is advised to
make known his views to the aetor hi a
moderate and deferential manner, and to
ask his opinion in the selection of an open
in; part. Throughthe actor's mature judg
ment, he would be upt- to designate a charac
ter best suited to the face, figure and powers
of the novice. Then it would probably in
troduce him to tlie stage during his prepara
tion for the debut, and give him in this
way, a familiarity with that place and the
surroundings which would be, of course, of
great advantage to him. The retired
performer is careful to point out that
another advantage resulting from
studying for a debut under an actor
is, in case the amateur has uot made
business arrangements with the oblig
ing manner, the actor would most probablv
be induced to give him an opening at his
benefit. This outcome of the relationship
would he very probable where the amateur
has shown talent, and where the amateur’s
appearance would “call out a strong array
of personal friends.” The writer goes on to
say that when tho bargain is mode the
actor will give his amateur friend a number
of tickets to dispose of, and will open to him
all available facilities for his debut, while
the novice in return will do the best in his
power for the promotion of the actor's in
terest on the occasion.
On the subject of benefits in general the
writer devotes an entire chapter, and some
things which he says go to show that the
tricks of the profession fifty years ago are
very similar to those in favor to-day. New
York has been flooded with benefit perform
ances this spring, and all kinds of people,
not only players, but bankrupt managers as
well, theatrical agents and decrepit play
wrights, have come forward with testimo
nial entertainments, as they are described
in modern euphemistic theatrical parlance.
A STEREOTYPED SWINDLE.
Men with no claim on the theatrical pro
fession whatevor have hod the effrontery to
ask popular performers to appear for their
benefit. Of course the players have refused
in the majority of cases, and where they
have not had the backbone to do this they
have failed to appeal- and excuses have been
made for them. The result has been that
New York has within the past two months
been afflicted with about as wretched a
series of Sunday night benefit variety shows
as can be imagined. The swindle of an
nouncing attractions that will not be
on hand was, it seems, quite
general in the old time as it is now, and the
“retired performer” gives the usual speech
made by the beneficiary under such circum
stances, beginning: “Ladies , and gentle
men,” and going on to say that he is com
pelled, with unfeigned mortification, to
announce “on the most veritable authority”
that Mr. , who was to have enacted the
part of , was at 0:30 seized with a sud
den indisposition, etc., etc. At the present
time matters are so much improved that the
benefit fiend brings a doctor’s certificate and
the affidavit of the nurse.
These old-time benefits were very differ
ent affairs from the crub entertainments
such as we know. They were given at the
theatre where the beneficiary was regularly
engaged, and were attended by the friends
he had made by his work through the sea
son. The benefit money was part and par
cel of his yearly salary, and always contem
plated in his business arrangements with
his manager. When leading men played at
$25 and S3O a week, it is small wonder that
they needed a couple of benefits a year to
help them out. Terformers in regular stock
companies now, like A. M. Palmer's or
Daly's, receive excellent salaries and do not
need benefits,^ and of course it is owing to
this fact that the practice has died out..
The retired pci-former makes the following
observations about benefits:
WHEREIN THE NOVICE IS GREEN.
(‘There is nothing, perhaps, among all the
mysteries behind the curtain so little under
stood by the novice as the terms of taking a
benefit or the proportion which an actor re
ceives of his benefit receipts. People are apt
to imagine that the beneficiary gots all that
comes into the house, when not infrequently
he gets nothing. The usual terms on which
the performers get their benefit are to re
ceive ono-quarter, one-third or one-half the
gross receipts of the house or share with the
manager. In the latter case, the manager
appropriates a certain amount for expenses
and divides the remainder. It is understood
in all oases that the person taking the bene
fit is to pay for all extra printing.”
Again:
“The most exemplary and genteel plan I
can recommend for insuring a good tieneflt
is for the performer always to appeal- upon
the stage well dressed and.jierfect in his
part-. This will secure for hun the esteem
and interest of the public. Ascortain which
are the most favorable or lively nights in
the city where you are located and obtain
the best of these. Publish your cards in
most of the leading papers, and the editors
will compliment you with a notice on the
day of the performance in return for your
advertising patronage.”
The modern benefit fiend seldom adver
tises and expects seven notices a week.
The retired performer finishes up his ad
vice to the would-be actor by some memo
randa on how lie should conduct himself the
first night of his appearance.
“Should you be very nervous after dress
ing, you had best not appear in the green
room, as you will naturally distress or fidget
the jierformers concerned in the scenes,
which fact will rather tend to aug
ment your malady. Having given the
prompter an opportunity to observe that
you are ready, it is perhaps as well
for you to proceed to that part of the
stage from which you are to enter and walk
quietly up and down: or, as the play goes on,
observe the ease and coolness with which the
actors go bn with their parts and you will
doubtless catch spirit and confidence. Make
your entrance easily and coolly, with your
head or eyes so fixed as to avoid seeing the
footlights, which, until you are accustomed
to them, are apt to lie wilder the sight, mag
nify every object about and oecasion dizzi
ness and confusion in tho brain.”
Finally:
“In ease any powerful exertion should
cause you to perspire, he careful to uvoid
the draughts of air from the scene rooms,
etc., as any sudden chill may occasion a
hoarseness or a chuck upon your powers.”
With this wholesome sanitary advice the
“retired performer” closes Ins address to the
novice, having as usual iu such cases, sot
before his pupil much more on the subject of
what to do when he got on the stago than
on how to got there, which is tho burning
question the novice wants answered.
But wbat ho docs he does with a simplic
ity und quuintuess that makes it very de
lightful reading.

AT. ST. ANTHONY’S SHRINE.
A Remarkable Feast-Day Celebration
in Pennsylvania.
The New York World prints the follow
ing dispatch from Pittsburg, Fa.: For years
tho Church of the Holy Name, on Troy Hill,
Allegheny, of w hich tlie Rev. Mr. Mollin
ger has been (lastor for more than twenty
years, has been a place to which the afflicted
of all denominations have made pilgrim
ages. The numberless cures which have
been ascribed to the intercession of St. An
thony, have caused the fame of the church
to spread to every part of the country
To-day is the feast day of the patron
saint. For several days hundreds of the
atfl‘-ted have been arriving entrains and
other conveyances to take part in the ob
servance of the day and to appeal to tlie
saint for relief from their ills. From day
light to-day tho roar's lending to Trey Hill
were thronged with people in carriages and
on foot, hurrying to the church as best they
could, so as to get within the auditorium. It
was a pathetic sight, but there was not one
among tlie throng who did not seem buoyed
up by the thought that relief from bouily
ills was at the summit of the hill overlook
ing the Allegheny river. It is estimated
that between 3,000 and 4,000 persons were
present for the high mass, which was recited
at 10:30 o’clock.
The church has a seating capacity of about
1,000, but by 10 o'clock fully 1,200 were in
the building. The members of the congre
gation attended services earlier in the morn
ing, and during the rest, of the day the
churali was given up to the strangers and
the afflicted.
The services lasted from 10 to 1 o’clock
and two sermons were preached, in addition
to which Father Mollinger made a brief
address in English on the life and services
of St. Anthony. A life-size statue of tlie
saint occupied a place in the sanctuary. At
3 o’clock vespers and benediction were held
iu the private chapel of Father Mollinger,
which he built with his own means at a cost
of $50,000. Of this chapel a writer in the
June numberof one of the church magazines
says:
On one of the high hills of Western Pennsyl
vania overlooking the Allegheny river stands an
exquisite little chapel, unique, wonderful, costly,
magnificent. It was built by a devoted priest
out of his own inherited wealth to do honor to
the relics of the saints. It would l-ead like au
extract from the "Arabian Nights” did we ven
ture a full description of this astonishing work
of private devotion. We may saiely say there
is nothing like it in America. Thousands of
precious relics cased in crystal, silver and gold
line the walls in incrustations of carving and
gilt from the floor to the dome. Light streams
from above, and the wails are hidden by actual
mosaics of reliquaries ir. every shape the imagi
nation could picture. Shrines are erected on
every side and lift size figures of exquisite
workmanship of martyred saints lie lieneath
them, displaying the wounds of their martyr
dom to the reverent wonder and devotion of the
spectator. Urns and vials centuries old, some
,of them containing sacred relics taken fryin the
catacombs or the crypts of ancient shrines in
the Old World, are here all covered with costly
plate-glass. Tire precious authentication* of
these relics, some crumbling with age, are in
closed in the fire-proof rafes of this wonderful
chapel. How thesq relics were obtained and
the account of their accumulation would form a
history of itself.
Looking at the enthusiastic ecclesiastic as he
points out the beautiful statue of St. Authony,
the good old man (Rev. Father Mollinger), with
his long white heard, his black skull cap and
loose cossack, his whole face aglow with fervor
and animation, one cannot help catching some
of the enthusiasm and devotion as he kneels to
kiss the relics or St. Authony. Should you ever
go to Pittsburg cross the rivet to tho twin city
and ask any one you meet to show you the way
to Troy Hill. If it happens to bo' on June 13
(the birth of St Anthony of Padua), the throng
of devout people ascending the road to tlie
Chapel of Relics w ill point out the way without
further inquiry. The chapel is said to' contain
more relics than any other outside of Rome.
That wonderful cures have been made
here there are many who will gladly beat
witness. Father Mollinger generally re
quires that Catholics shall pray to the saint
daily, while those who are not members of
the church are required to abstain from
meat on Friday and do some other simple
penance. Father Mollinger never takes a
fee.
