ACTORS FAVORITE TIPPLES.
The Liquid Refreshments of the Dress
ing Room.
(Copyright 1888.5
New Y'ork, Dec. 22.— 1 was sitting a
nigbj or two ago among the audience of a
popular Broadway theater, having with me
as a companion a theatrical manager, who
has moro than one theater under is own
control, and has been in the theatrical
business from his boyhood. I don’t think
it was noticed by nine-tenths of the people
present, but to us the fuct was quite appar
ent that one of the young act esses in the
company wh so performance we were
watching was under the influence of some
intoxicant. She managed to get through
her part without any serious breakdown, but
the vacuous stare, the slow hesitating move
ment. the occasional stumble and tbo thick
utterance were unmistakably evident. Nat
urally, when the play was over and we
were discussing a mocL-st supper in a near
by restaurant, our conversation turned on
the disagreeable spectacle we had l>een wit
nessing.'“Has it never struck you,” said my
friend, toe manager, “how comparatively
free the stage is to-day from a vice which
was almost universal half a century ago?
Then it was rather the exception for an
actor to be temperate, while now the exact
reverse is the case, as is shown by the im
pression that young woman’s folly has just
made upon you. A generation or two ago
it would have been tako almost as a mat
ter of course, to see an actor under the in
fluence of liquor, but as the French say, ‘we
have changed all that,’ the fact is that
actors have merely kept pace with the rest
of the community, for you have only to
turn over the loaves of the Spectator and
other Queen Anne literature to see that in
those days drunkenness was as fashiunable
as going to church.”
“I suppose though,” said I, “that actors
and actresses are not as a rule teetotalers.”
“By no means,” was the answer. “To
people who are undor the influence of a
constant nervous strain, stimulants of some
sort are almost a necessity. lam convinced,
though, that every actor and actress of
prominence ooks updn them from the
medicinal aud not the convivial point of
view. Some, indeed, are absolute prohibi
tionists as regards themselves at least.
Frank Wilson, for instance, never touched
anything stronger thuu lemonade or ginger
ale, and yet he is one of the most intensely
nervous and hardworking of actors.
HAMLETS INSPIRATION COMES FROM BEER.
“Some unkind and cruel things have been
said of Edwin Booth in regard > o drinking,
hut I have known him for many years aud
my father knew him before me, and I can
assure you that he is in no way a drinking
man. He is careless to the verge of crimi
nality about himself and treats his digest
ive apparatus as though it was made of
cast steel. He suffered for years from acute
dyspepsia, so aggravated in its nature that
food of any description is bound to cause in
tense suffe ing. Owing to this he con
tracted a habit of never eating at all until
forced to it bv absolute hunger, ami then he
took just sufficient to stiy his appetite.
Now that the dyspepsia is a thing of the
past, be still retains his old abhorrence of
food and for days at a time he goes without
eating a morsel. When in this state, it is
evident that a single bottle of beer will
make him jeavy. Beer, indeed, is the only
drink Mr. Booth really cares for, and he
drinks several bottles during the day, one
or two being consumed during the perform
ance. Mr. Booth is an inveterate smoker.
He smokes a peculiarly small mild cigar,
and on the dressing table, when he leaves
his (lressingroom alter a performance, are
arranged a dozen or more of these half con
sumed tiny cigars, for he never re-lights
one after it has gone out, or he has been
compelled by the exigencies of his part to
lay it down.
“Mr. Booth’s partner, Lawrence Barrett,
is exceedingly temperate, and only touches
spirits when he is ordered to do so by his
medical advisers. He is said to be exceed
ingly fond of ale aud drink 9 itat his dinner,
but never drinks beer, Barrett, like a wise
man, is careful of his diet, and, being
blesssd with a good healthy appetite, eats
with extreme regularity. He breakfasts at
10 o’clock, eating a hearty meal, takes a
light lunch in the middle of the dav, dines at
6, proceeding immediately thereafter to the
theater, and after the performance is over
takes a moderate supper before retiring.
The result is seen in Mr. Barrett's perfect
health and superabundant energy, both
mental and physical.
"Mrs. Langtry,” continued the manager,
as he lit a cigarette and blew a fragrant
cloud heavenward, “pays much atten
tion to diet, for like the* sensible as well ns
charming woman she is, she looks upon her
health as an important item of her stock in
trade. She rises late and eats a moderate
breakfast, and when she is in New York,
lunches ut 1:80 o’clock precisely, always
having a few iutimote friends to join her.
She dines at 6 o’clock as a rule, though
sometimes she is forced to put tbo hour
somewhat earlier, and has a heart y supper
when her labors are over, the luncheon
nnd supper being the two chief meals of the
day for her. At her meals Mrs. Langt y
di inks either claret or champagne, the lat
ter os dry a wine a? she can procure. Hhe
is, however, exceedingly moderate as to
amount and rarely takes more than a single
glass of champagne or a tumbler of clarei
and water at each meal. D iring the per
formance she occasionally sips a little cham
pagne and appolliuaris water, mixed in
equal proportions, though sometimes the
aiipollinaris is taken alone without the
addition of champagne.
“Mine. Patti, like all singers, finds stimu
lant of some sort an absolute necessity. As
a rule, during the performance, she con
tinually sips weak brandy and soda, though
she has an odd trick of preferring the soda
‘•lead,’ that is, opened aud left standing
until nearly all the gas has e ca(>ed from it.
Occasionally she varies her beverage by
taking a glass of champagne, though, unlike
Mrs. Langtry, she prefers a sweet wine
rather than a dry one.
“Richard Mansfield drinks nothing but
appolliuaris water while be is actiug, but
of this be oonxumen several pint bottles.
Mansfield, though there are few men who
know how to give a 1 letter dinner or supjmr,
or sro moro convivial in tlieir tastes, makes
a rulo of being absolutely abstemious so far
as drinking 111 concerned, throughout the
day. After his work is over he drinks a
little whisky and water, or should he be
eating a heavy supper, a few glas-es of dry
champague. I have known him intimately
and have seen him under all circumstances,
but i have never observed him to lie even
I>artiaily under the influuuue of good cheer.
"Henry Irving is so fond of meeting bis
friends round his own hospitable board that
he naturally is obliged to di ink a fair
amount of wines during the twenty-four
hours, and I have seldom met a man who
could drink more and show it Imm than the
great English tragedian. Asia well known,
u is it vary night ow), and after a lutrd
night's work ail! all up with hia intimates
talking and telling aueodote*,lu hia own in
imitable style until cock crow and then
sedately bjiake himself to bed for a few
hours’ sleep, after which he is as fresh aud
lively as a school-boy. Though he can and
does drink every sort of wine, Mr. Irving’g
favorite beverage as a night-cap is good old
Scotch whisky and water, and on this he
generally ends the day.
MR. BARRETT DRINKS, TOO.
“Signor Campanini is a true bon vivant
and so attached to his own Italian style of
cookery that he finds no comfort in Ameri
can hotels. This is why he has brought his
own cook with him to accompany him on
his present concert tour. He drinks vast
quantities of red wine, either claret or
Chianti, with his meals, and finishes with a
glass or two of good cognac. He is not
much addicted to exercise, which, in con
junction with his fondness for good living,
has resulted in destroying his once perfect
figure and causing him to become uuroman
tically fat.
“Emma Abbott likes a bottle or two of
Dublin stout, which she consumes during a
performance, and this beverage indeed she
generally indulges in with her meals. She
is well aware of its fattening properties,
but contends that those are well set off by
its strengthening power and the effect it
has upon the voice. Lillian Russell used
to drink the same ebony-tinted fluid, but a
year or two ago she foreswore it in favor of
champagne, with an admirable effect so
far as her figure is concerned.
“Sarah Bernhardt fcousumes during the
day and night a large amount of stimu
lants, and is accustomed to counterbalance
their effect by the use of certain nerve
composer*, such as bromides, etc. During
a performance she often drinks a little
Scotch whisky which she once euphemisti
cally christened to an inquisitive reporter
aconite, which she said she took to steady
her nerves.
"Agnes Booth is extremely careful of
what she oats and drinks, and the result is
seen in her extremely graceful fig
ure, which, though inclining to om
bonpoint, might still belong to a
woman of 25. She drinks little but Bass’
ale, and not much of that, only consuming
a glass or two during her most arduous
performances.
“Poor old Lester Wallack used to indulge
in two glasses of that standard English
beverage, brandy and soda, during a per
formance, though for a year or two before
his death he found it necessary sometimes
to add a third glass in order to ouable him
to struggle through his part.
“Nat Goodwin, who for several years
suffered from a form of quinsy, the severe
pain of which often rendered it almost im
possible for him to got through a perfor
mance without fainting, drinks between
the acts a few glasses of rye whisky and
seltzer water, though after the play is over
he is fond of taking with his supsier a pint
or two of dry champagne. He never
drinks anything while acting, however, but
whisky aud water, as I have said.
“SARAH” DOTES ON ABSINTHE.
“Henry Dixov is abstemious while acting,
and only sips a little soda water to relieve
bis parched throat. At his meals he also
drinks sparingly, hi* favorite wine being
a good sound claret.
“So I might run on,” continued my
frieod, the manager, who had now reached
his fifth cigarette, “to an indefinite length.
What I have told you, however, of the
habits of the better known of our
actors and actresses will show you that
they are all either moderate drinkers or
total abstainer*. Those that have risen in
the profession know that were they to be
otherwise they would destroy in a single
night the fabric of reputation it has taken
them vears of toil to raise. They are, there
fore, much too shrewd to risk so much for
so little, and their habits as regard drink
ing will, I think, compare favorably with
those of any class of the community,” and
having preached his little sermon, my
friend changed the subject.

Convicted by a Piece of Bread.
Paris Letter in Philadelphia Telegraph.
A tramp named Liauty has just been
condemned at Blois tor the murder of an
unfortunate woman, whom he met on the
high road. He attacked and stabbed her
repeatedly, afterward throwing her into a
pool while she was still living, Art taking
from her her little savings, amounting to
(10 cents. The peculiarity of t e case lies
iu the evidence that convicted the mur
derer. On the bank of the pond, near ti e
spot where the corpse was discovered, there
was found a large piece of bread, the end of
a loaf with a singular bulge at one side.
One of the neighbors testified that
on the morning of the day the
crime was committed, Liauty had come to
her house to l*g for something to eat. Bhe
gave him a glass of piquette and a hunch of
read. Ho drank the wine aud put the
bread in the breast of his blouse, saying that
he would eat it later. The loaf she had cut
it from was home baked. One of the brings
in the floor of her oven wa. missing, so that
in each batch of loaves there nms one wiih
a protuberance marking the sited iliemiss
ing brick. It whs this nrotiilwranca that
enatded her to identify the bread found n ar
the body with the niece she bad given
Uauty. He was forthwith fouud guilty
and condemned to death.
