THE DRAMA. It Was the Hat, New York Tribune. I sat behind her at the play (They said it was “Othelio”), But who appeared, or how 'twas done, Well, ask some other fellow. I know an overture was played (The same they played last season), And, later, people cricd **Encore!” T do not' know the reason. I heard a sweet, entreatng voice, A stifled shriek, a groan, a Silence that, I take it, marked he death of Desdemona. And this was all; 1 simply write These lines as a reminder To some one that I lost the play Because I sat behind her. The Fads of Actors. Every actor and actress has a fad,says the Chicago Inter-Ocean. With Ri ard Mansfield it is piano players. Clara Morris loves horses dearly. She owns a full stable, She is a graceful eques- trienne. Fanny Davenport prizes dia- monds and odd bity of jewelry. Edwin Booth is a collector of rare old ‘books. Henry Irving boasts of his works on Shakespeare. Mrs. Langtry loves horses and fine houses. She has quite half a million dollars invested in real estate in New York, Sheis also fond of ictures and bric-a-brac. Joe Jefferson 8 (‘uiw o painter. 'When not acting he retires to a delightful country home in New Jersy andspends hour after hourin painting landscapes. Artists who have seen his work speak highly of it. They say it possesses real merit, and if he had not made a successful actor he would have made a great painter. The walls of his house are covered with rare aintings and every nook and crevice 8 covered with udx bits of statuary and bric-a-brac. - It is quite lik that one of his pictures will be exhibited at the fall exllihilinn in this city, In addition to love of painting he has another fad, or, rather, two of them—he loves child- ren and dogs. His daugh is the wife of B, L. Farjeon, the English novelist, whose early works gave promise of a Dickens. Jefferson is never so happy as when his grandchildren and his dogs are playing around him and he has his brush in his hand. He is possessed of a large fortune. His friends would not be surprised if he gave up the stage and turned painter, Genial Nat, Nat Goodwin’s first attempt at run- ning a company of his own wys made in Augusta, Me, He organized his troupe in Boston and went up to the capital of the Pine Tree state to play for one whole night. He thought well of his play and of his company, and was pretty confi- dent of success, When he returned to the ‘‘Hub,” however,he appeared some- what downcast. **Well, Nat,how did the audience like the play?” asked a friend, Nat hesitated for a moment and then answered: *“Well,I think he would have liked it better if he had waited for the secopd act,” i A “The Death Wateh,” Many'comedians have diametrically opposite sides to their characters, says Dunlap; that is, in real life they are so Qifferent in personal appearance, thoughts and ambitions to what the theatre-goer imagines them to be from their assumed characters on the stage, shat it would be intensely surprising if the audience could meet them in pro- ria personwe. Take Louis Harrison, r instance, one would imagine him to be the jolliest fellow in the world. Just the reverse. Off the stage he is not only of a gloomy disposition, but de- lights in morbid surroundings. falk iuto his dressing room and you are startled by suddenly confrouting twenty-five grinning skulls with bla ing eyes, nodding to you from the wall. He calls these a “first night” u\\diencu‘ otherwise known as the ‘‘death watch.” Standing in_a corner is a coffin with shelves in it,on which he keeps his medicine bottles. On a shelf standsa tombstone, on which is written the titles of all the playsthat have been failures this season. Tacked on the ceiling is a large white shroud, on which is embroidered in black: ‘‘Drop Dead and Give Me a Call.” T asked him his reason for surrounding himself in this fashion, and he repliel *Oh, I ass a great deal of my time here and 1 ike the room to look cosy.” Edwin Booth's Wealth. Mr. Edwin Booth is probably the wealthiest of living actors, and, anomal- ous as it may seem, he is also one of tho most generous. Added to that, he has for the actor and the actor’s art the sineerest respect and affection. He is the only American actor, or Englishone either, of whom we have any knowl- edge, who ever conceived the idea of erecting a noble temple of the drama to the drama. His theatre, on Twenty- third street, New York, was the realiza- tion of this idea, but he conceived and builded so spaciously and magnificently as to wreck his fortune, and the noblest of American theatres has passed out of existence. Mr. Booth has now conceived and is about carrying out another long and generously cherished idea; it is that of establishing an actors’ club. Mr. Booth has already instructed his agent to purchase a suitable club house in Gramme, Park, New York, which after being fully prepared for occupan- oy, is tobe presented to the selected representatives of the dramatic profes- sion. In addition, the large and valua- ble theatrical gallery of portraits which Mr. Booth has been collecting for many years, and which has cost a very large sum of money, is to be added to his gift. An actor so liberal as Mr. Booth deserves all the success he has achieved. i DRAMATIC NOTES, Lawrence Barrettreached his fiftioth birth- day April 4, Joe Jofferson is reported to have a fortune of §150,000.
