If it bo 1 take a hat on the left side of th o actor, it shoutd be done with the lett hand, the action of the right hand crossing the body being awkward. And what, pray, has be- comeof the lost artof walking! Men and women roll, toddle, shufie, They do not walk, The artscems to be confined to tho southern Arabs, to those who keep their kuees straight. Modern costume has some- thing to do with our bad habits. It fetters the logs. Examine the Greek friezes and note the erect postures. Those figures never kick out, never drag the feet, How can a gruceful carriage be acqu Ik about with & pad on your head, a weight of thirty, forty or sixty pounds ube done. Therd is wonderful power in the backbone, Then you must thrust yenr chest forward, k your head erect, and keep your legs well under the weight.

Never turn abruptl Measure your dists that you will bring up properly and with the proper leg in the right place. In kueeling, thv knee furthest from the audience should e up. ()VL' of the old tricks was to take the mid- dle of the stage and keep it, and when the actor dashed into the corner it was a cue for the audience to applaud. Manuy an actor today doesn't kuow how to exit properly, and more than one has asked me to givehima few words to get off with! The crowning dificulty of the stage is the study of character, Some actors labor under the delusion that when words are memorized all is done, A parrot, a child can do as much, The work has only begun. The first lesson is to walk on well, stand still well, go off well. Then an actor must listen, If he list- ens well he accomplishes what many actors calling themselves great, have 9 achieved. Th sumption of ¢! *ter must be continuous. Some burst into gesture when words are put into their mouths, and relapse into nothing on ceasing to speak. Actors today do ot ask, “Have you u part to which I can fit myself?’ but “Have you a part fitted to me” T question the wisdom of reading plays in advance o actors who are to perform them, for the reason that they invariably listen to the parts of others. ~“Oh yes, my part is good enough,” said Brown, *but it's being perpetually cut into by the low come- dian. He has all the fat.” "“Not bad,” ex- aimed the low comedian, “but my part falls off awfully in the last act.” Miss Simpson wants to know what sho will wear, not howshe shall act; and Miss Tompkins takes me into a corner: Mr. Bouci- cault, I do protest against being cast for Miss Simpson’s mother. I do, indeed. Why, she was acting leading ladies when I was a child.” fty yoars ago when I was about to pro- duce “*London Assurance” for the first time in England, Farren, who was cast for Sir Harcourt Courtloy, came to me and asked whether I knew any such character, “Of course Ido;twoof them.” Farcen begged me to tell him who they w He studied these old beaux closely and several of his speeches were taken literally from the mouths of theoriginals.

Early in the summer Clay M, Greene and Augustus Thomas covenanted and agreed to write for William H, Crane a com Says the New York Times, which all three belic is going to be, what the con.edian graphically torms a “‘corker,” when completed. Now, Mr. Thomas, though a ready writer enough, needsa tremendous amount of persuasion to et him at work, and has & habit be burying himself in remote and inaccessible country districts so far from the madding crowd that to all intents and purposes he mightbe in the heart of Afric far as reaching him by letter or teleg is con- cerned. No sooner had the contract been signed than Mr. Thomas disappearcd, for weeks Mr. Gre could have been ob. served perambulating Broadway like an un. quiet spirit and seeking the collaborator who would do everything but collaborute, Crane began to get immbatlent, and though it had been arranged that the visit him at Cohasset andlay the roughed-out work before him, neither of them material- fzed, for Greene could not go without Thomas and Thomas had vanished. At length & week or #0 ago Mr, Thomas in- cautiously ventured from his rural liar and was lassoed by his co-author at the Lambs' club. Before he well knew what had hap- pened he found himself on the way to Cohas- set, and eventually was deposited at the *rib," as Crane's summer home is chris- tened, and_set to work in company with his partaer at hatching out situations’and “good sllent actor | spectacular production, “Lost iu | and | two authors should | | abig story will ines.” Fora while all went well, and Crane was chuckling over the suceess of the kidnap- ping scheme when suddenly Mr. Thomas an- nounced that Yis presence in New York was imperatively necessary, and on this occasion Greene, backed him up. Crane was in despair, Two days’ work he knew would put matters in such a shape that the rest would be easy sailing, while, were the wor interrupted at that juncture, it might t weeeks to get the creative craft in commis- sion, as it were, He said nothing of this. however, to his guests, but politely » that it would per- haps bo just as y were to abandon their task for the prosent and return to New York, Then, as if struck by a happy thought, he offered to take them on his yacht as far as Newport, or even New Londor, casually sug gesting that on the way they might still con- tinue their literary labors. Tothis the two authors assented, and preparations for the cruise were hastily mad last moment however, Mr. found that it was utterly impossible him to accompany them, but begged themnot to defor the tripon his account. The pros- pect of a pleasant sail was too tempting for the young men to lightly giveit up, and so they set forth one fine moming out of Boston bay in the best of spirits, leaving Crane be- hind with a doleful face, which, howeve brightened up marvelously as the Stell steamed out of sight It the neatest trick Tever played,’ ald Crane when he had related the story sub- stantially as above to his New York friends.
