The Hub ina Hubbub Over the Fechter- Wallack Imbroglio, The Storios of Both the Bloodless Histrionle Warriors a3 Told to a Nerald Correspondent, Yr, rt Who's to '—"You Pays Your Money and You Tikes Your Choice.” Boston, Dee, 21, 1870. The public has not yet ceased to talk about the | rumpus between the manager and the actors at the | Giobe tneatre. For nearly ® week it has been the | Popular thewe of discussion all over Boston, and tn | remote sections of the country the tmterest im the | Affair appears to have been more general than its ace | tual importance seems to justify, Iv is a weak- | mess of human nature, howover, to revel in just such spicy gossip as this row | between Fochter and Wailack and the Chan- | fraus has been productive of. The volumtmous correspondence which has been published has, as | is Well known, beca somewhat of the “you Jie” | @eseriptuion, and, after ail said and done, the com- | munity ts searc any wiser after having perused the vindictive letters than betore they were paraded before tue world, Although tie whole row may be regarded as insignifcany beyond its effect upon the | Parties immediately conceraed, it is, however, as before intimated, one of those funny episodes which Ought tu be faithfully and impartially recoraed for the benefit of future generations. It will serve as a companion romauce (fuunted on fact) to such Stories asx that of the alicrcation between Andy Johnson and Congress, the Fenian invasion of Can- Ada, and a host of other and similar ridiculous but amusing incidents of this glorious nineteenth cen- tary. " The Giobe theatre has always been unfortunate, ‘but why it shontd have been so is an enigma hard to Boive, Itis one of the fluest tempies of amusement in the United States, and Mr, Arthur Cheney, the Proprietor, tas always been | eral and enterprising iu its management. It was batt by Mr. Cheney and Dexter I, Foilet as an “up town” theatre, althougn Ats location (on the corner of Washington and Essex Strects) is more properly down than uptown, It Was started us “Se:wyn’s theatre.’ aud Jonn H. Selwyn was the manager, Early tn its career Follet gold out to Cheney. Subsequentiy Cheney and Sel- | wyn quarreiled, and the latter had to vamose. Then came the great Fechter, with his name on the Dills in large letters as the “sole manager.” He com- Menced with the beginning of the season, and was @eterniined to show that strong hisirionic talent and first class executive and business ability could bo combined in one man, and that one man was | Charies Fechter, He engaged his own company, and Mr, Cheney gave him full scope and untimited funds to fulftt ais promise of “elevating the drama | tm America.” Ev-rything seemed to be lovely and | Serene ab the start; bub alter awhile there were Tumors of dissenston, on account of what wero termed “jechtr's damned Dutch airs.” A good Many haa predicted this at tie start, and there ability vo foresee coming events was now exempli- fled, First one actor was thrown out, then another, and there was a profusion of profanity from those who remained. Finally something occar- red which caused Fechter to tell Watlack that his services were useless, and thon tt Was that the “mill? began in earnest, Also at about | this ume Mr. Chanfrau, who, with his wife, was @ part of the company, had trouble with Fech- ter no less serious than the rupture between him and Wallack. Mr. Chanfrau said that Feehter had insulted his wife, and added a few words abont pulling his nose, Phings went on in this lively man- ner for several days; but Fechter, back @ partially, by Cheney, proved master of tne situation. Mr, and Mrs. Chanfrau were discharged, and Wallack, although drawing his pay, was not allowed to darken the door at the stare entrance, All these | stories were common gossip, and the opinion of the | public was generally against Mr. Fechter, and there- fore when he resigued the other day a great many were unchuritable euongh to rejoice. AN ACCOUNT OF THE ROW BY THE PROPRIETOR OF THE THRATRE In endeavoring to get at the origin and incidental circumstances of this gigantic misunderstanding between such eminent members of the histrionic profession I have interviewed all the parties con- | cerned, including falso Mr. Cheney, the proprietor of the theatre.

Tha very last thing I said to him the day the Zravelicr published his card was my utter disapproval of it; but he paid no attention to my reqnest.” “Was there any particular understanding when you engaged Fech ter and Wallack as to what kind of business they were to do?” “Yes, they were to alternate in leading busin and { supposed aud hoped they would get along good natured)y and harmoniously togetner, and that I would have @ season more successful than I have had.

Like Fechter, he was giad to see the HERALD correspondent and tell bim exactly uow matters stood 80 iar as he was able, 1 Was sensibie that Wallack shared the public sympathy in these troubles to a perhaps greater ex- tent than Fechter, and knowing too that Wallack Must be aware of this faci I cousesé that the little bit of vanity which all human nature possesses might be dissiayed with the gentleman whom L was about to interview. I was, however, disappointed, for Mr. Watlack, considerlag the clrcumstauces, Was very mild in his aliusions, and if he did believe that Fechter had faiied in his etorts to out-Shakspeare Shakspeare he did not say so. Alter the Customary “now do you do” and the “pretty well, 1 tiauk you,” the conversation natu- troubles at the Globe theatre, aud Mr. Wallack, in bis characteristic, simple and Unostentatious manner, proceeded ww give his ver- soa ofiheu. I expected to find in Mr. Wallack something of an Eoglisiian, but in this I was dis- appoiuted.” I scund him almest as thoroughbred an American a8 he was an accom tished ygenticman. Even in iis Most cathusiastic conversation about the theatre rninpus his {pronunciation was as purely Yankee as if he had been doing his level best betore the most critical and app tive American audi- ence ever seen in New Yok or Boston. His accent was totally unlike that of the Englishman who was going Jowe in the Hafrica, but this fact, however, 18 really io! surprising when it 1s cunsidered that Mr. Wailac t unity when only eight months old with Ure exception of occasional nitervals of a year or © has been iere nearly aii the time ever Bince.
