ACTORS OF YK OLD BAYS. VIIEN LEADING MEN WEES PAID S3O A WEEK. 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. Symbols of Charleston’s Gratitude. FYom tin■ Xeu> York Tribune.

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.
