THEODORE ROBERT8 AND QUY STANDING.
They will apposr hero Christmas day in “Ths Right of Way,’
ker’s great drama.
"There la s fascination about the creation
of character parta on the stage that carrlea
0 man away from himself nnd makes of
blm what his frlenils call a ‘crank.’" soya
Theodore Itoherta, today America's foremost
character actor. “All my llftf 1 have been-
ambitious, to create types on the stage, and
1 think 1 may nay I baye succeeded fairly
well. Rut It in difficult to Dud types or to
induce dramatist! to draw them. Most
dramatists pot a character In a piny end
think they bare done their duty. They
make an Indian elder talk and net na n
white man would nnd think the rkaegeter
actor should he oatlotlcd to pot red paint
on Ids face, receive a near-Indlnn name and
their go on the stage and recite lines that
should belong to a Harvard professor.
"Tho Brat Indian part I ever played w*
of that sort. My make-un I studied for a
long time and succeeded in looking like an
Indian. But the methods of thought and
speech of that Indian were not at all In
dian: they were those of the author, who.
so far ns knowledge of ludlnn character
went, might never have seen one. hater,
however. In The Squaw Mao. I feuml a
real Indian character ills thought nnd
nne«H»b w*re tboae of an Indian, and I
think the greatest rnmpUment l evrr re
ceived was when a man I had never hmrd
of In mjr life wrot* m« aaylnjc that be and
a friend had a let they wanted I'm *® de
cide. lie had men inc several times and
had bet that I was- renly an Indian, or at
leant bad a large percentage of Indian
blood. And be was a man who knew In
dians, too. t
When I Was Canby.
"Another real type that It was mv prlvl-
lege to erent.w was that of Canny, the
ranchman. In 'Arizona.' That wan n real
character, for Canhy was the typo of West
ern ranchman thnt everybody who knows
the West easily recognized. A dozen men
have told me that they knew Canhy well,
and I knew bim-knew him an I played
him. I don't mann that he was n photo
graph of nay one man; he was simply a
type nnd an aueh was distinctive and real.
"When we played Tho Bight of Way' ip
New lork I received a letter one night
from a man who was born In the Cana
dian provinces, lu which he complimented
me on my characterisation of Joe l’nrtn-
gals, the Preneh-Camullnn 'habitant.' 'I
now your performance tile other nlglif.' he
said, 'ami It made me homesick.’ There la
n compliment for you. In the character of
Joe l'ortngelz. which I am now playing for
tho second season. I have found a new
type. No one knows the 'habitant' holler
tbnii Sir Ollhert Parker, and the character
he-drew no rlesrly In the novel Mr! Pres-
brey has ably transferred to the stage.
It fa a privilege to play aneb a character,
to crento anoh n type, and I only wish there
were more of them. Authors are. I hope,
becoming more alive to the demand foi
Character types, and I hope to bare many
more chances to create types before my
career Is ended.*

UP OIHRUST
Proves Tables, Meant
toShowSmall Profits,
Valueless.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—At today's
session of the Standard Oil Investiga
tion, the attorneys for the trust pro
duced a remarkable table by which they
attempted to show that the govern
ment’s claim that the company hnd
made exorbitant profits, was all wrong.
Mr. Kellogg proved It to be valueless
by showing that only a part of the
business of the Standard Oil Company
was Included In It.
Under cross-examination the witness
admitted that the records of sales By
barrels and In bulk were kept separate
ly from those of tank sales. Mr. Kel
logg succeeded In getting from Mr.
Rosenthal the admlsslpn that In the
Western states the margins of prod:
were higher than elsewhere In the
country. Mr. Kellogg declared then
that the statement Just referred to was
iiraiilfestly unfair and misleading, as It
did not by any means show all the
business done. He also got from the
witness. Dredger, the admission that on
preparing the tables he had looked for
no Information back of 1895.
I,. J. Drake, connected with the
marketing department of the trust, gave
testimony regarding the growth of the
refining-business, which lie said from
1897 had not amounted to much. He
described how the Standard Oil Com
pany took up the business of Introduc
ing gas stoves and gas engines, saying
that It had spent 1260,090 along this
line. Cross-examined by Mr. Kellogg,
he admitted that the Standard Oil
Company had never Invented a gas
stove or a gas engine.
