HAUNTS OF LONDON ACTORS Gentility, Manliness and Cultare Oharac- teristics of Transatlantic Thespians. HOME LIFE OF THE ENGLISH HISTRION At the Clubs Whero Wit, Genlality and Gentus Commingle—“Advantages’ of the English Actor—His Love of & Quiet Home. [Commighted 1£92. Loxvox, May 0.—In nearly every great American city wo have some particular locality constantly frequented during cer- tain hours of theday by actors greatand small, Tho casual passer lingers curiously within the region, Even ono least accus- tomed to striking city phases is instantly mpressed with the unusual character of the neighborhood and with the manuers and dress of its frequenters, Public houses of a cozy rather than a sumptuous sort are characteristio of tho place. Windows sbove it wro filled with strange costumes, Little low windows ana still tinfer glass casas or receivers hero and there display curious examples of the wigmaker's art. “Voico Trainiug" can be socured up this dingy flight of stairs. “A School of Elocution” will be reacned through another dark entryway. Tho tegen d, “Fancy Steps,” will appear where the stairs hint of serious stutabling instead. Next tho, roof of one building “Pupus” will be “Fit ted for the Stage.” ‘“‘Banjo Tuught” has broken out upon_every doorway dircctory. And_signs of “Dramatic Agency,” whero the first and perennially successivo looting of actors is done, cluster like beacons of wreckers 1o entico the veteran s well as the youngest skipper upon the shoals of treuchorous dramatic seas, In general and particular everything needful to “tho proiession,” and many things which its members coula’ safely eschew ure gathered in_and about this strange little world within the great city, It is called “The Rialto.” Histrionle Clnss Distinction, Our American *'Rialtos” are -more marked 1n concentration and character thun thoso of European cities. This is particularly true in New York. In Loudon, where are the haunts of probably more actors than exist in any other four or five of tho greatost cities, there s no spot which exactly corresponds with the American actors’ “Rialto,” except one, That ono 1s the greatest rosort in the world for music ball performers. It is just across uhe Waterlco bridge from |the Strand, on_the Burrey side of London, and is called in local parlance, “Poverty Junction,” But between those folk, who are called wprossers” or “pros,” fn tho vernacular, and tho actors of London there is an evor im- passable gulf. In our country thero is cou- siderablo commingling and” association of theso elements or classes, This almost wholly accounts for the characteristic groun- ings of business and lounging forming our “Rialtos.” Here the actor not only scorns the *pros” as he would a tramp and wili have none of him as a compauion, but ho will drink no liquor, eat no food, transactno busi- ness and frequent no thoroughfare or haunt where the “'pro’’ is permitted to come. There aro reasons for this close drawing of rofessional lines. An importantone is found n the fact that fora very long time London theatrical managers have sustained an ahso- 1ute monopoly of all dramatic performances, By law tho proprietors of music halls are for- bidden to present any exhibition of a dra- watic nature. Their compensation is in being permitted tosell all manner of liquors by hunds_ of bewitching barmaids; of itself a great sourco of attraction ana profit. To the “legitimate” dramatic performer, any one who has appearea in *the 'alls,” from his standpoint of othics, can by no possibility ever become a genuino actor or attain to his social standing. Actor and: Educated Gentleman, On the other hand, you will seldom find an English, Irish or Scottish actor who is not a gentlemar born and bred. .I do not mean that he is always of tho sccalled British entry” stock. But I domean that tho stock from which he has sprung is usually of the best quality: that he hes had the advan- tago of being well bred; has been given excel- lent home and school, and very often univer- sity training; that Lo is a reader, a student d n traveler; and that the best. regimo and athletic sports have done for him, pbysically, what his educatior has done for him men- tally, and his unavoidable culture, off and on the stage, has done for both his ethics and bis manuers. This is universal rathor than exceptional. He is therefore justly proud of his vocation. Such names as_those of Shakespeare, Kem- ble, Garrick, Macready and Matthews fur- nish eadless pique and spur to his ambition, His excellent social status keeps him in touch with the best rather than the unde- ‘sirably elements. He is well paid and cer- tain of emplosy ment, if he has ability and ex- perience; and if hopossesses only the former, with some learning Lehind 1t, bis period of apprenticesbip is ono of fair opportunity and considerate treatnent. Without leaving his home and his daily haunts and work, he has before hrmn the highest opportunities %o which an uctor can attain within the confines of London itself. And his every surround- ing, mccessible aid in his profession, and. oven in his hours of relaxation, which bring him the fine friction of the brightest minds of our time, ho 1s as an actor continually unwittingly and per force bettered and im- proved. English Actors Pride of Home, Tho latter is as true today as it was in Shakespeare's time, And ali this 18 why the baunts of London actors differ from the baunts of American actors: and wky, also, their environment uaturally produces the avlest delineators not of intense and exag- gerated character and situations, as with the French, and somewhat with our Amer- lcun school, but of those fadeless good and mellow comedies, dramas and tragedies which apreal to the intellect and heart, ther than to seusation bunger, the nerves and tho passious. These changeless conditions naturally give London actors as a class but two places that moy bo regarded as thoir real - bauats—their homes and their clubs. Tue first of theso muy seem to Americans an odd sort of ac- tors’ rotreat, for though we bave many Among us who possess genuine homes, and it 1s & good sign that their nnmbor is increas- Ing, there nre too few actors who possess or seck a homo, It s different in London, ana 1 think there is nothing on carth achiovuble In which a London actor takes such manful sad exultant pride. ‘They aro seldom grand affairs, 1t1s their freat number and thoir wwoev and good omoliness which make them remarkabl The exigencies of sional travel and tours often render occupancy imposmible. Frequently tho busband ‘goes iu one direction and the wifo, if she be an actress, in wnother, But the abiding pluce is Mecea to both, and there 1% always some vne to hold the belongings together and train the little ones against the bome-coming. A Pretty Ploture. ‘The Euglish actor bas a grand abhorence of a big and showy bome. 1 could print the nuwes of scores whose incomes woula permit them to live, like many of our eminent the- atrical e, in upproved West Eud luxury in winter ana gorgeously awelter in summor iu their own fashionable resort villas. Tho little bome, little and snug sud cheery, is his frota choice. He hides bimself in it,'and often most ludicrous in lis shifts to ol kuowledge of its cowing to only sworn triends, I'bis occasionnlly goes 80 far that «iases aro assumod, that ho may better pro- teot bimself from trusion and espionage.

It s as though the effort, assump- tion and ropression of the stage world found its exact antithesis in this most precious of haunts; and that all those things in home making and keeping which are regarded as irksomo by ordinary folk, were to these peo- plo the acine of pleasure and delight. He “A perennial lark,” one fitly described it tome. And soitis. With mingled feelings of amazement and delight, while enjoying the most genial entertainment I have ever ¢l where known, I have assisted o Lady Teazle at dustiog; a Juliev at digaing in tho garden: 'a Lear at leapfrog with bis not ungratéful children; a Portia at sheiling veas; an Othello at mending a Mrs. Malaprop in weshing the iuncn a grave digger at mering his range; a Cleopatra at paring potatoes: u Falstaff at muking gooseberry and damson jam; o Bob Acres at erilling chops or Surface at prepar- ing salads—for English, actors aro peeriess ns cooks; o DBill Sykes at prayers; and Richelicu at brewiug such punches as, I have been tola by those who sipped them, loft, by comparison, the “‘aectar of the gods'? mere cight-penny treacle. 'ho whole Covent Garden region, that “joyous region” as Tnackeray calied it, while not exnctly a hauot of actors, bas been a sort of actor-land for moro thon 250 years, 1t is now as of ola a region of fine old inns, coffeo houses, theaters, clubs, prin- ters and publishers, bookselicrs and cos- tumers, In theso procinets, between Covent Garden and the Stand, that grentest roaring tide of humanity in wi the world, and uoon the Strand itself, mo; nctors will he seen coming, going or loitering than in any other district of tho great city After his profession and his folly little home, the strongest attachment of the Lon- don actors is given to his club. Kyery one s & member of from one to a half dozen clubs; ana these actors, usa class, more than all others of tho liberal professions and havo fuspired, deveioped and sus- d that spirit of genial associution of men of talent which has @iven London its vast numbers of most splenaid clubs, around which cluster the most precious of historic and literary associations. It way bo truly saia that, from Shakspeare to Dickeus, not only tho greatest actors who ever Jived, but most of tho greatest writers have been spurrea and prompted intv the effort and activities which gavo themselves fame and tho world its cleanest drama and graudest literature, from this source and out of this fruittul and fecund association. Actors' Club Haunts. Since “Will's,” *suttons’ " “Tom’s" ana other famous coffee-houses and clubs of the Queen Anno period, o history of the changes and habitues of famous London clubs to which actors have given the chief support would almost bea history of English men of letters aud literature. " Tho actors’ club haunts of tolay chiefly comprise tho Garrick, Greon Room, Savage, Arundel, Lyric and Beefsteak clubs. he latter uuigue little club, which has its home over Toole's theater, sprang out of tle Honorable Suciety ot Beefsteaks in the old Beefsteak room ~of the Lyceum theater, which still exists, and is used by Irving for his exquisite private dinner parties, The Beefsteuk over Toole's is distinctive in beiug *lone-room” club, and admitticg no guests pes und Herolnes at Home. he Avundel has 850 to 400 members. Tt was once exclusively literary and actistic, Ambitious solicitors and umateurs of all sorts are now admitted, and its percentage of leritimate uctors 1s growing smaller. The Lyricghas a magnificent club honse in Piccadilly, and with 1ts entire appointinents, including b largo theater and concert hall, 18 among the finest buildings for this purpose in the world. ([t also hus aa annex called the Lyric club at Barnes-on-Thames, from which boat racing and other river fetes can be wit- nessed. The Lyric is a dramatic and mus- 1cal club with nearly 3,000 members. Per- haps 10 per cont of theso are actors. The well known Savage club, literary and artistic, whick interchanges privilezes with the Lotus club of New York, has about 700 members, It had its origin twenty-four years ugo in a public house near Drury Lans theater. Since then it has wandered to Hax- cl’s hotel, thenco to the Savoy and finally to Adelphi terrace, overlooking the 1hames. About eighty of its members, who are also members of the Green Room club, are actors, The Garrick, in Garrick streot, Covent Garden, venerable, rich, stately, mellow ana grand, has o _membership limitation us to profession. While perhaps no more than twenty-five actors are at pres:nt among its members, althourh all London managers of any prominence are upon its rolls, it un- doubtedly possesses the most valuable col- lection of souvenirs and paiutings relating to the stage and its most famous reprosenta- tives of auy assoclation or institution 1n the world, The Actors’ Club Par Excellence. But tho Green Room club, in Bedford street, which had its orizin_about_fourteen years ngo from disagreements in the Junior Garrick aud the Arundel clubs, is by all 6dds the real actors’ club of London. It is already one of the wealthiest of its small clubs and owes its great success to the ad- ministradon of its honorary secretary, George Denacher, o gentloman of amplé means, & genumo art lover with boundless sympathies for actors and their profession, Persous in all the liberal arts are admitted to membership; but o active manager can become a membor unless he was formerly an actor of good stunding. Pinero and Lerd Carton, dramatists, Farjeon, the author, and Charles Dickens, son of the' great novelist, al mong its members, uturday niehts” and “Saturday house dinners,” tho latter splendidly served at but 8 shillings and 6_pence, are the kinaliest, brightest, meliowest and most geniul oc- casions of our time among men of heart and brains. Gatbered bere will be found such men as Pioero, Sant Matthews, Irving, John Hare, Royce Carleton, Kendall, Paul Merrit!, Wyndham, Charles ' Hartbury, Bancroft, Fernandez, Beerbohn Trée, Ted Gardiner and Henry Howe, the oldest actor on tho English stage, In thousands of books are preserved tho truo or mpochryphal sayings of Garrick, Sherdian, Hood, Thackeray, Dickens and men of their kiduey, who gavo the wine of life to literary London in the past.

School Bulldings In Eastern Cities Visited and Examined by Omaha Men. Messrs, Euclid Martin, H. B. Coryell and Dr. W. S. Gibbs und their wives returned vesterday from 8 ten-days - sightsceing trip to Washington, New York and Boston, in which cities thoy largely devoted their time to inspecting school builaings and mat- ters connected with educational work. The trip was not & junket tho expenso of the school board, as the members went of thelr own volition and at thelr own expense. In speaking of their trip, Mr. Martin said: **We learned one thing pretty thoroughly, and that is that you can’t have anything in the very best shape without paging well for it. We expect to put up a first class twelve- room building hero for $30,000, but Boston pays from $60,000 to 75,000 for buildings of that size.

L —— CHICAGO AND THE WORLD'S FAIR, World's Falr fi‘vln‘n-nl‘r. fllustrated, belng s complete and conolee bistory of the prinols pul worid's fairs trom tho Crystal Palace, London, 1831, to the World's Columblan Ex- position in Chicugo, With explanator tables and maps, Published by The An- abozue Publishing company, Chleago, bound neatly in cloth, It carely falls to the lot of the reviewer to notice so exhaustive a work as the “World’s Fair Souvenir,” which ' has been compiled with so much care by a former resident of Omaha, John D. Jones. For purposes of referencs, o comparison and for genoral information the work is n magnificent reflox of the push and energy of a city thatis the won- der of the world. Inits compilation oxpense has not been thought of, and tho richness of its illustrations of the World's fair build- ings, cuts of the men and women who are directing to a successtul issue what bids fair to be the greatest exposition of an- cient or modern times, pictures of the colossal pusiness blocks that stand as monuments to the enterprise of theirowners and builders, is typical of the ‘‘Chicago gait,” as the rush and bustle of the great city by the inland sea has been described. The book has been arranged upon a most comprehensive plan, the object of the publisher being to give a complex resume of what may bo seen in Chicago in 1893, and at the same time give the nformation ina compact form, so that the work may be a valuable adjunct to he library and reading room. Its use- fulness will not end with the close of the exposition, but on the contrary will, grow in value with years, for it is the most perfect compendium yet issued of an event which cannot fail to have an influence for many decades to come upon all lines of ary, literature and com- merce. As Mr, Jones says in the intro- auction to the work: ‘‘As an educator this event will leave its impress upon succeeding generations and bear fruit in all realms of human thought, ingenuity and progress.” In addition to its'complete epitome of what has been dgne, is doing and will be done when the fair opens, it comes to the general public ata most opportune time. It brings before the American people the forces that actively at work to make the! exposition a success worthy of a nation that in a little overju ocentury has, from nothing, builded the mightiest republic of earth. It not only gives full page at type illustrations and descriptions of the principal buildings of previous world’s fairs and all the buildings of the présent World’s Colum bian Exposition, together with portraits and biographical sketches of its officers., and chigfs. of departments, but it tells “How to Reach the Fair,” gives descriptions' of Chica- go’s parks and boulevards, its places of amusement, the wholesale and jobbing interests, its railroad facilities, and in general is the most complete guide book to the city that stands at the edge of Lake Michigan.

The most conspicuous or central design will be the Grand Army of the Republic badge, with flag and pendant star, crossed cannon and musket, worked out carefully in flowers that will duplicate all the original colors precisely. The bed is to be sixty feet long and fifteen feet wide. Some of the other de- signs are more simple, but others are very intricate, and the artistic skill of the gardener.will be taxed tothe highest degree. It'will be no eusy task to present in flowdis faithful represen- tations of the all circle of the First corps, the trefoiliaf the Second, the diu- mond of the thitdiithe equilateral tri- angle of the Fouptlf, the Maltese cross of the Fiith, e Greek cross of the Sixth, the cregcept and star of the Seventh. the cross, anchor and cannon upon the shield E)( he Ninth; tho four bastion fort of the/Tenth, the acorn ‘of the Fourteenth, ‘tKe cartridge box, with its grim motto, IMforty rounds,” made famous by General Logan’s Fifteenth corps; the pretty shield of the Twenty third, and the crossed sabers of Sheri- dan’s cavalry Many of the beds will require modeling, the ground being d to conspicuously show the spe design above the field of the e. In this way cannon, eartrid| ioxcl. anchors and eugles in the various badges will be dis- tinguishuble, the earth being raised in relief above the: background, filled in closoly with plants that, by thelr sulta- ble color, will heighten the effect.

BOSTCON- suddenly on Sunday, in his 85th year, was the son of emigrants from Ireland, and was born in Pittsburg in 1807, He went to the Mexican war as second lieu- tenant in the First Pennsylvania regi- ment, and rose to the rank of mujor. After his return he became a valued citi- zen of Piutsburg, and an influential member of the republican party when it started: He volunteered in the war of the union, became colonel of tho Thirteenth regiment, and was o brigader general at the end of 1862, When Major Genernl Reynolds fell nt the battle of Gettysburg, General Rowley took command of the third div- ision of tho first army corps. In 1864 he resigned and returned to Pittsburg. Willium Sigel, an aged voteran of the late war, was found dead in his bed at a boarding house in Jacksonville, Il1., on the 18th. The man had a romantic ca- reer and had scen nearly all the worla. During the late war he was a member of the First regiment Illinois lightartillery and went through the great battles of the western army and won distinction for his bravery. He roamed all over the world as long as his money and strength lusted, and when he could no longer go, he would go to the Milwau- keo soldier’s home until he could get out again, He left no family as far as known, The death of Liecutenant Colonel E. H. Leib at Millersburg, Pa., removes one of the most gallant soldiors of the war.

Tndecision has sent moro pasple tohell than murder. Birds with bright feathers do not always make & good potpie. Count the day lost on which you have not tried to make somebody happy. The devil would have to go out of business if he couldn’t mako sin attractive. No man can serve two masters, but thero aro people who try to serve a dozen. Fight your troubles ono at a time. Knook down the first one, and the others will run. Many lives contain whole chapters of good- ness, not a word of which is over put on & tombstone. Unless a man’s walk corresponds with his talk the less ho has t0 say 1n prayer moeting the better. : \ Beauty is no Inheritance, Beauty often depends # on - plumpness, so d health, Cosmetics do not beautify, but often destroy a healthy complexion A natural rosy and healihy oolor can not be had by the use of cosmetics, but only through the health of the body in general. Secure this result by the use of the genuine imported Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, Take it early in the morniig be- fore breakfast. It clears the complexion and produces healthy flesh and color. Obtain the genuine, which has signaturo of *Eisner & Mendelson Co., Agents, New York,” on every bottle. SOUTH OMAHA.
