Actors* Incomes*
[“Oath” In New'York Tribune.]
ng estate of the late actor/ Chanfrau,
^0 to have amounted to only about
IjjflOOO, much below the expectations of
L friends, The comedian Owens, who
m long considered the most prosperous
noon the stage, is,said to have incurred
lone losses and to have diminished prep
ay Edwin Booth did not begin to save
money till he found his daughter growing
an While there is apparently a great
. deal of money made rapidly on the stage,
the periods of success arc brief and the
expenses by the way are very large. An
actress will generally tra\'d with a maid,
an a ,r cnt, ana sometimes with a husband.
The sum of $300 a week is nearly tho
highest mark attainable by professional
talent in things dramatic or literary.
About this figure is, the highest salary
mark of the bedt known actors and
actresses and they are fortunate to get
it long.
An income of $2,500 n year, made all
the year round,* by a person living in one
spot and not in a great city, is probably
equal to a salary 6f $200 a week made on
the road : with spendings, sickness, eta,
taken out * The life of large cities and of
evenings spent at caf$s and hotels Is not
only exhaustive of physical and social
powers but there are few men who can
spend an evening out with well-known
friends and not get rid of $2 or $8 equiva
lent to perhaps $1,500 a year. The man
who spends no more than this and has a
popular acquaintance is apt to be called
‘•mean.” ' '
Brlftnol! in the Choir.
[New York Journal.]
Many amusing anecdotes arc now re
called of the peculiarities of Brignoli, one
of which is in connection with the very
church of St. Agnes in which his requiem
was sung, and from which his body was
carried to the tomb, lie had agreed upon
s certain occasion, at tho request of Air.
McDowald, to bo present and sing a so’c
at the 10:80 a. m. mass. He came into
the choir, and after divesting himself c!
throat coverings, tumbling over music
stands, and nearly setting the choir
cmy by trying his voice and delay
ing the service, he finally concluded that
he was “in voice. ” By tne time Brignoli
got ready Mr. McDowald had begun his
sermon, but Brignoli leaned over the choir
railings aud tried to attract his attention
