12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1896, GEORGE DE LONG WR ITES A PLAY BETWEEN DANCES The Popular Young Society Beau Confesses to the Authorship of “ A Mortal Ghost,” a Melo- drama in —_— A Psycho'ogical Study to Be Submitted to Richard Mansfleld. DR. HARRY TEVIS READ IT. Stirring Scenes in Which Thunder, Lightning and a Banshee Vie for Supremacy. George de Long, the popular young society beau, beloved of the “buds’ and approved of by the chaperones, has con- fessed to the authorship of a stirring drama enjoying the somewhat paradox- ical title “A Mortal Ghost.” The play was written, as it were, be- tween dances. The unusual gquiet that has prevailed in social circles during the past few weeks afforded the dramatist the necessary time to accomplish his purpose. Mr. de Long's idea to write a play was born of his desire to do better things. After attending a performance of the Frawley Company in the *“Matrimonial Maze” the young man concluded that the playwright in general was responsible for many penalties inflicted upon a long- suffering public, and took it upon himself to recompense this affliction by offering a play from his own pen. That the thought is parent to the deed never was more quickly and conclusively proven. As if summoned by magic, dramatic incidents and situations, especially situa:ions, came knocking at the playwright’s brain, de- manding, insisting that he give them utterance. It was an inspiration. De Long’s pen could scarcely keep pace with his flow of thought. And in less than a week the play was completed. Of course, the term completed is but & figurative expression. There are many scenes that the dramatist wants to touch a bit. Here and there an enirance is to be thrown in, or a streak of lizhtning, or a thunder-burst, or a rain- cloud, or a heroic attitude. But these fin- ishing touches ara not to be added until the young author decides upon who is to produce this offspring of his brain. 1f it goes to a'man star Jean’s(the hero’s) part is to be comfortabiy padded; and if, on the contrary, an actress is to shine in it as Tola Vaseleski, a Rus-ian adven- turess, then to her go the applause-com- peliing lines. De Long’s method of constructing a play is not unlike that of some of our great dramatic lights. “I write back- ward,’”” he said to a CaLL representsiive after he had obligingly given a hurried synopsis of the plot of “The Mortal Ghost.” “That last act, which takes place in a beer saloon, in which the hero and heroine meet and embrace only to be torn asunder by the strong arm of the law, was the first scene that presented itself to me. Her pathetic lines, ‘Am I awake or am I dreaming?’ are the keynote to the whole play. “Waile writing the play I imagined Richard Mansfield in the role of my hero, Jean Dux, and I shall probably shortly submit the play to this eminent actor. “*Of cour-e I want tosee ‘A Mortal Ghost’ produced,” enthusiastically admitted the playwright. *‘I feel confident there is much of merit in the play, else I would not make a fool of myself by reading it to my friends. “I gave the play to Dr. Harry Tevis to read, as he is interested 1n all things dra- matic. He liked it immensely, especially tue scene 1n the beer saloon, where the heroine is vending the liquia on percent- At S Qun Gornda (et ~—n Four Acts. and wonder if I am not mad. Ah, Henry, ever since Al left me and wove herself into enother life my hope has been extinguished. My God, how ly loe: her! What would I not do for her, what not sacrifice for her! When she promised herself to me it seemed as if the whole world blazed in glory, ana whatever she touched looked brignt and pure; but when she left me it seemed as though the world was flooded with darkness. Since then I have groped about seeking some place where life dwells, but in vain, For all my life I have held all my trou- bles for myself, and not inflicted them on any other, but now, Henry, it seems unless [ speak tosome one my life bombs will burst. esterday my mind was made up; I decided to end my life. Ah, this may seem cowardly to you, but you do not know my life. Look at me asIam;] have nothing. Nothing to look forward to. To be sure now for a few years I can make my living with my hands. But aiter awhile, when old age comes upon me, what am I to do? Am I to beg from door to door, or am 1 to live on charity? Others have entrance with a demand for a loan of £10 from Henry Allen, her former lover. A - len is a swell, and shows bis knuwleage of the ways of the world by his speech. “Lend it to you, madam. When did you ever know the meaning of the word ‘lend’? Say ‘give’ and I will answer you as I donow: that not one farthing of my money shall ever come to you again. And now will you let me show you out?” The adventuress, aroused, responds: ‘*Hold, sir! Though you may think you haye shaken yourself iree from me, I still hold you by one sirand. You love—you need not turn like that—you love a mar- ried woman, a married woman, who, thank Heaven, it shall never be your joy to marry. I will tell you hér name—it is Mrs. Allie Dutard.” But it is in the third act that occur the most inspiring and exciting scenes. Tola is followed about by a banshee, that shrieks and moans and predicts, truth- fuliy, the approaching end of the unfor- tunate woman. The third act closes with this wonderful speech: You hear that scr . It is the banshee, as you sald. The evil spirit of the other world comes back to dwell near tais. It must be kin o you. You are s human banshee, walking on earth and over crimes you sit and gloat, but you shall gioat no more. (Another shriek.) Your sister calls you again. Speak! Answer me my questions or I shall send you to her. (shakes Tola violently; her head ‘is hanging and she is very still.) Speak! (As he says this he turns her head toward him and then darts back in horror) Dead! (Approaches her again and places his hand upon her heart.) Dead! (He looks at her neck and then at his hands—rises frantically.) Oh, mv God, sin is terrible. What have I doue? (Approaches her again and looks at her.) Murdered! (Another cry.) I had not looked for this; my passion must have overrun me. Where I but thought to foster fear I nourished death. And what will follow now they found her here. I shall pay my life GEORGE BOWEN DE LONG. had hope and ambition to urge them on, both of which have been scorched in me by a biighted love. Understand me, Henry, I sm not speaking to you to-night to be persuaded I am wrong, as what I have decided on nothing in hell can change. What I am telling you to-night I charge you, Harry, is d{old in the most sacred confidence. And now I shall tell you how I shall ead. Tt shall not be suicide; it_shall be & lingering death. Ishall seek joy. You know I have no religion—that I am ‘an unbeliever. To me there is no hereafter. What we do on earth we pay for here. I have vearned often to lead such a life as the common ruffians we meet on the street who have no principles and live by crime. For their l“eg have longed even when I have had everytoing I could wish for, but I thought it was not for such as me to enjoy. And when I met her I forgot it. Now, however, she and fortune have flown, and I am free to try this life; if Idid not I should soon fill a suicide’s grave, and so from now on I can regard myself a dead ghost risen from the dead to die again. Ishall take from this life all 1 can, ana when death comes it can take nothing from :me, as I give everything up now. Ah, Henry, forgive me. You will understand me some day.

Jean Dux loses his fortune and the girl whom he loves gives him up to wed a wealthier man. Disgustea with life he resolves toend it in an unusual fashion, whence is derived the strange title. Thus he explains his resolution in the first act: There was & time when the world looked bright, when love and flife entwined ‘to- gether made me forget all else. And what mage it? Ah, it was money, money did it, and when that was gone the world darkened, love fled, and in tearing itself from life it has 80 crippled it that it is not worth living.

'Tis true, Henry, | hate the world. The tongues with which we meet it seems will some day drive me mad, and sometimes I stop ‘“‘common people.’’ His one true love, Allie Dutard, has married a man who beat her brutally. By an incident only possi- blein a play, Jean’s confederate in his mortal ghost state, Tola Vaseleski, and his old sweetheart meet. Allie, unaware of the sort of woman Tola is, leaves her husband and braves the world’s criticism to make her home with her new-found friend, and the result is her degradation, She is branded, unjustly, a: ocial out- cast. When Tola, out of revenge—the man she loves lavishes his affections upon Allie—turns the heroine into the street, where she wanders about in the storm un- 1il, weak and starving, she is rescued by a tender-hearted divekeeper. gives her employment, and it isin her aitempt to be merry at this work, though all the time her heart is breaking, that the author hopes to realize his greatest trinmph. In the first actisafforded s glimpse of society life, and De Long’s description ot an after-theater supper in a sweil bache- lor’s apartments is interesting. Bays Henry Allen to his self-invited guest: *Ithick you will have to satisf; iom-ll with a plain Dutch supper, an: 1l upon Welsh rarebit, pickles, crackers and beer. But you mustnot blame me, and if you all starve it's your own fault.” for this ecrime. No! No! that must not be yet. I must find er first. (He looks about room and starts as his eyes rest upon a huge chest under the window ) Ah, why not. (Rushing forward and taking hold of her.) Come, come over here.

De Long’s manuscript is neat and clear and shows no erasures. It is written in a flowing hand, a hand tbat trembled not under the inspiration that gave to an expectant world ‘A Mortal Gnost.” Like the tiger or lion that has once tasted blood De Long now sieeps with his pen in his hand. “I would rather write,” declares the dramatist, “‘than do anything else, dancing, of course, excepted.’” 1f ail the cabs in London were put in a line there wou d be a total length of foriy- four miles. Yet in London there is only s;flndmg room for twenty-three miles of them. The smallest egg in the world is said to be that of the tiny Mexican humming-bird. It is scarcely larger :ban a pin’s head. MORE OUTSIDERS SCAMPER HOME JOC at Odds of 50 to1 Captured the Dis- tance Event. The Holiday Crowd at Oakland Track Picked Winners and Losers. Form Vividly Il u trated—One Favor- ite Stepped Over the Line. Salisbury II Got a G.ft. A biting northerly wind that savored strongly of the merry jingle of sleigh bells and fallen snow blew over Oakland race- course yesterday and kept people moving about to keep warm. A gay holiday throng of fully 5000 persons filled the spacious grand stand and betting ring. To see the bundles of money being wagered in the ring ‘It would seem as though the cry “hard times’” was foreign to our glorious climate. Pretty maidens with luscions red cheeks all wrapped up in their winter finery with dapper-looking young men filled the front seats of the stand, and scattered herejand there were sedate, motherly looking matrons, who grew quite as enthusiastic over the finishes as the younger generation. The different races on the card were speckled with here and tnere a good horse, but they were in the hopeless minority, the cheap sellin, platers predominating. . The sport was again of the explosive sort with startling and varied results. One good, weary looking favorite scam- pered home first, and almost looked ashamed of the fact. First among the surprise bonbons was Sly, who at odds of 100 to 1 ran the favorite Alma to a head in thethird event decided. ThencameJO C, the jumper, who aunexed the mile and a quarter run on the flat with the very spicy price of 50 to 1 about him. Both long shots commanded substantial sup- port and caused the bookies to wince. The track was well dried up, greatly to Buperintendent Allen’s delight, ana fairly good timé was the rule. Mr. Ferguson’s ‘‘1.0odoo’” still lingers about, for he leit the 8 to 5 fayorite, Peril, at the post in the last race, and it is sug- gested that he immediateiv possess him- seli of the le:t hind foot of a big Fresno County jackrabbit. After a while it will dawn on somebody thar Salisbury II, the son of Racine and imp. Fiirt, is something more than a plater. Ev.dently handicapped on his losing instead of his winning races, he picked up his 95 pounds in the mile bandi- cap and spreadeagled the field, winning, ulled up, from Peter the Second in 1:43. ‘S’emper Lex, the 3 to 2 favorite, ridden by ‘Willie Martin, run very much as though he had partaken of a turkey dinner pre- vious to his attempt, showing no speed at any partof t..e journey. The winner, who was quoted at 12 10 5, runs in the colors of Burns & Waterhouse. George Rose's youngster, Jay W heeler, was picked to win the opening five-fur- long dash for mgiden two-year-olds, but only succeeded in finishing second to Tropical, the second choice. Valdos was clearly the best horse in the race, but his lightweight rider could not do him justice at the end. Left at the post on Wednesday Nick Hall's gelding Eimer F was backed down to 510 2 to win the six-furlong sprint that followed, and in a drive withstood the challence of the peculiarly ridden 2to1 favorite Last Chance, and won by half a iength. Allahabad showed improved form, finishing up third. A miscellaneous band of platers started in the mile and a quarter purse affair. Long Lady, with W. Martin up, was s 6 to 5 favorite, reaching later to 9 to 5. She proved lamentably weak, showing away behind the money at theend. Taking the lead on the far turn,J O C, ridden by Loyd and carrving 119 pounds, took up the running and’ led to the end, pressing the tape two lengihs vefore Navy %luu in 2:124, a very good performance.
