obtain when he first went into vaude

tells this story:
“We had all heard that he was a
<rank about his act. and the whole
working: crew was keyed up to a high
pitch of nervous excitement. I be
gan to feel sorry for Rob should he
attempt to start anything.
"Well, Monday came, also Hilliard,
and rehearsal began. He demanded
things for which we had to ransack
the town. We had to borrow, at
great risk, expensive paintings and
statuary. He must have real palms
and real this, and real that, and
everybody’s patience was worn out.
“That afternoon the curtain went
up on ’The Littlest Girl’ to a. big round
of applause. It fairly astonished me.
All the week the crew would come
around In front and gasp with amaze
ment. We hadn’t known that It could
be done or that vaudeville audiences
cared anything about ‘atmosphere.’
After that first show the men never
heard a word from Hilliard except to
thank them for the results, and they
became his tirm friends and admirers.
I consider that Hilliard did a whole
lot to advance fhe standard of vaude
ville. not only by his splendid acting,
but by his artistic taste in staging his
sketches.”

Edward Locke, author of “The Sil
ver Wedding,” "The Case of Rocky”
and “The Climax,” used to be an ac^
tor. Several years ago, being with
out an engagement, he hastily pro
vided himself with a monologue, in
cluding Imitations of celebrated ac
tors, and sought a temporary vaude
ville engagement. This was in Boston,
and Mr. Locke was put on the bill of
Keith’s Theater. At the opening per
formance the monologue was so fa
vorably lecelved that Locke ran out
of material and the audience demand
ed more. So he stepped before the
curtain and addressed them as fol
lows :
“Ladies and gentlemen, if you will
close your eyes for a few moments 1
will attempt to give you the most per
fect imitation of Edwin Rooth that
has ever been given on the stage. My
reason for asking you to close your
eyes is that my physique is so dif
ferent from that of the late Mr.
Booth that it would spoil the illu
sion for those of you who have seen
that great player.”
The audience complied with his re
quest and Locke proceeded -to render
Hamlet’s soliloquy. At its conclu
sion the applause was terrific, follow
ing which several people called at the
stage door to compliment him on his
wonderfully faithful imitation of the
greatest Hamlet the American stage
has ever known.
“I should have been flattered by the
comments/’ suid Mr. Locke, “but for
the fact that 1 never in my life had
bad the opportunity to see Mr. Booth
and hadn't the least conception of his
rendition of the soliloquy. It was a
triumph of suggestion nothing
more.”

Clare Weldon, one of the best

American stock company stage, once
attended a dramatic school. The aw

porter asked her for an opinion as to
the relative value of dramatic school
training and that obtained by prac

“I don’t think it makes much dif

declared with emphasis, “provided we
win fairly. When a man or a woman
wins praise by some exceptionally
good piece of work on the stage, we

The plans of the Shuberts for the
coming theatrical season disclose the
fact that these producers have relied
almost entirely upon American dram
atists for their stock of plays. With
the exception of an unusually large
number of Shakespearean revivals
and a few works of foreign origin,
their season will be made up of the
plays of American writers.
One of the moK interesting events
of the theatrical year will be the
farewell appearance of Sir Johnstone
Forbes-Robertson. Early in October
he will appear with his wife, Ger
trude Elliott. In several Shakespearean
plays and "The Passing of the Third

ROME, Aug. 9.—Thanks to the
| Queen Dowager Margheiita, a new
I musician, who until a few days ago
I was absolutely unknown, has been
discovered, and. what is more impor
tant, will soon be* introduced to the
musical world.
The discovery, which was purely ac
cidental. was made when th« Queen
last week, in company with several
ladies in waiting, paid a hurried, visit
to the asylum for blind girls, of
which she is the founder and sole
supporter.
Contrary to her custom, the Queen
went to the asylum unannounced. She
found tin* building being cleaned and
the greatest confusion in the house.
Unmindful of the din and the dust,
the Queen, who was not recognized
by the workingmen, went to the sec
ond floor, where she came suddenly
upon a class in music.
Composer Born Blind.
Tim girls were singing a hymn of
exquisite beauty composed by their
professor. Charles Grimaldi, who has
been blind from birth.
Still unrecognized, the Queen and
her ladles stopped on the threshold,
while the girls, une<giscious of her
distinguished presence, continued
singing.
After listening a while, nonplused
by the music, the Queen sent for the
director, who, when he saw her, near
ly fainted.
“Hush.” said the Queen when the
poor professor tried to explain the
situation. “I understand all that, and
forbid you to mention my name in
the presence of the professor..
“Inform the professor that a visi
tor is here to see him, and invite him
to join us in the parlor.”
The Queen questioned the profes
sor through the Princess Colonna,
lest he should recognize her voice,
and thus learned that the hymn com
posed by him formed part of a sol
emn requiem mass whicn he had com-'
posed.
Queen Reveals Identity.
It was only when he refused to
have the mass publicly sung that the
Queen revealed her identity and com-
plinTented him on the fine music.
The mass was .sung last Sunday for
the first time before a limited num
ber of privileged guests, and is said
to be even superior to Verdi’s mass.
Grimaldi has consented also to de

clamor of those who had failed ta se
cure tickets. One day a young noble
man, out driving along the Nova,
spied floating in the black waters ihe
body of an old nobleman who, In
knew, held two seats in the fifth row.
The young nobleman sped to the box
office.
“Count Ivanoffs two seats. I want
them,” he panted. "He is drowned.
Nobody knows it but myself. I want
Count Ivanoffs two seats."
“1 am sorry,” ytfur excellency.” re
plied the box office man. in a bored
tone, “but Count Ivan off’s two seats
have already been taken by the man
who pushed Count Ivanoff in."

LONDON, July 25.—There’s a real
lord in the production of “The Girl
on the Film” at the Gaiety Theater.
He is programmed as Arthur Welles
ley, hut in real life he is Lord Lan-
gan, and—“a chaining chap,” as they
say over here I mention this circum
stance, you see, conspicuously, be
cause it’s good to get anything real
in musical comedy, even a lord. But
the “nobility” can do no better than
stick to George Edwardes He not
only provides brides for the nobility,
but he gets the nobility into his cast.
Lord Langan seems to be a pleas
ant young man. Nobody could pos
sibly guess that he is more than the
program says he is. It is a great
thing 'to be able to conceal one’s no
bility, isn’t it? Mr. Wellesley does it.
lie is blithe and debonair, and he
wears evening clothes, with a gray
stripe down the trousers. Perhaps a
gray stripe down the trousers is a
secret emblem of nobility.
There is a plot in “The Girl on the
Film”—a real, solid, substantial,
made-In-Germany plot—and this is so
unusual that George Edwardes pro
vides a booklet for each person, set
ting forth his plot in narrative form.
You get so in the habit of “dropping
in” at any old time to a George Ed
wardes show that you never dream of
a plot. Why a plot? Lest you should
miss this one. Mr, George Edwardes
places it under your very eyes, as it
were. It begins like this: “Max Daly
(Mr. George Grossmith), manager,
author and actor, is preparing a new
play for the cinema theaters, under
the title of ‘Napoleon and the Miller’s
Daughter,’ in which he is to represent
Napoleon. His manageress and lead
ing comedienne is Miss Euphemia
Knox (Miss Connie Ediss).” Simple,
isn’t it? Almost guilelessly Gaiety!
The musical comedy is rather in
teresting, because it deals with the
cinema business, which, as you know,
IS quite a business. A “Vioscope"
company arrives, and arrangements
are made for taking the film of the
picture drama, -'“Napoleon and the
Miller’s Daughter.” You assist at
the making of the film, and in the
last act you see the very film cine-
ma’d that you’ve watched in the
making. This struck me as a mighty
good idea and quite a novelty for a
musical show. In fact, I’ve heard
many people declare that they didn’t
care overweeningly for “The Girl on
the Film,” and I attribute this to the
fact that it contains an idea. How
ls it that a musical comedy dares to
contain an idea?
Moreover, this film-taking business
contains the plot. The leading lady,
who is to play the miller’s daughter,
throws up her part, and Freddy, the
heroine, takes her place and is rec
ognized later by an irate father.
Freddy is a very pretty girl, dis
guised as a boy, so—you see your
Gaiety! I apologize for even sug
gesting as much as I have done of
the plot. But I felt it was me dooty,
inasmuch as "The Girl on the Film” is
novel.
It is almost sauerkrautishly Ger
man in its presentment of sponsors—
“from the German Rudolf Bernauer
and Rudolf Schanzer, with music by
Walter Kollo, Willy Bredschneider
and Albert Sironay!” Poor George
Edwardes, who has to make a bluff
of doing something English for Eng
lish people, heads all these names
with “A” musical farce by James T
Tanner.” The music is not as good
as the plot. It is not epoch-making
by any means, but rather pleasant
and enervating, as it were. It was
being done in Berlin while I was
there as the "Flimzauber.” I careful
ly avoided it there.
Little Mias Emmy Wehlen, with
whom I chatted recently, Is very
charming ideed as Freddy, the he
roine, and is getting quite Gaiety-
fled. I prophesy that she will be
come a great favorite In London, be
cause, like a clever girl, she seems to
know exactly what London wants.
Connie Ediss is all to the fore again
with her inexhaustible, warranted-
never-to-wear-out cockney dialect
and all her old mannerisms. Then
there is a somewhat handsome wo
man called Madeleine Seymour, who
is of the large and langurous type.
Charles Maude, a relative of Cyril;
George Barrett, Robert Nainby and
George Grossmith are the best of the i
men. Mr. Grossmith is an agile and
as like himself as ever. All these
people, if they dared to try and be
like anybody else, would be horribly
unrecognized. If you once make u
hit at the Gaiety you are O. K. for
life, provided you never try to do
anything different. Novelty and ver
satility are fatal. You must be your
self until you fall by the wayside.
It’s a nice performance, take it all
in all, and I’m bound to say I was
agreeably surprised, for I had heard
that it was not a nice performance.
You see. it had a plot to contend with, *
and in London they are used to aim- t
less philandering. Also, It is Ger
man. and English is, of course, more
popular.
There was an “ad” on the program
that amused me a lot. Really, they
are as "ad”-ridden and indiscriminate
in London as they are in New York.
This was the ad: “So-and-So, Inquiry
Agent to the Nobility and Gentry, in
trusted with divorce and delicate ne
gotiations in all parts of the world.
Go to him if blackmailed, or In dif
ficulties." 1 thought that almost
whimsically amusing.
But “The Girl on the Film” is bet
ter than some of the Gaiety Girls, and
It seems to have caught on here.
