MISS ARLOW REALIST ATE Actress Sends Genuine Morse Dots and Dashes Over the Stage Wire in “The Cav- alier.” ACCIDENT REVEALS SKILL. John Fisher Tries hearsal as a Means of Keeping the “Silver Slipper’ Company Up to Its Work. Morning Re- ‘The telegraph instrument used in the warehouse scene in “The Cavalier" played a part in a pretty scene at the Criterion Theatre the other evening. Bevern! curtain calls followed the strong Gituation which brought down the cur- tain In this act. After Miss Marlowe had bowed her acknowledgments and returned to the wings members of tne company offered their congratulations. Edgar Davenport, who was standing near the key. summoned up his rusty Knowledge of the Morse alphabet and ticked off “Congratulations.” Miss Marlowe turned to him instantly with a gracious “Thank you.” « “You understood It?" asked Daven- Port In some surprise. “Of course,” replied Miss Marlowe. “Tye been ‘studying ever since we opened, so that T can do my own telegraphing in that scene. Gillette isn't going tn get ahead of me in real- ism." eee John ©. Fisher ts trying a new experl- ment. In order to keep “The Silver Glipper" performances up to standard he has inaugurated a system of Monday morning rehearsals for the entire com- pany. That the members dislike them goes without saying. But Mr. Fisher has placed the remedy in their own hands, When he finds that these regu- lar rehearsals are unecessary, he tells his people, he will discontinue them. In other words, {f they keep their work— lke their volces—up to pitch he will spare them this extra labor. His plan fs already having a salutary effect. Per- formers, from stars to chorus people, are beginning to mind thelr p's and q's gn the hope that Monday won't be wash- day by and by. | . “Ty wish,” remarked a woman betweew acts at the Grand Opera-House, “that they'd bring the orchestra up so's people could make out what It's pl aying.”* ‘There was reason. for the complaint. ‘The same reason presente itself in TELEGRAPHING ‘|\JULIA MARLOWE DOES REAL IN “CAVALIER.” NAIL SCRATCH Joseph Mattalia Suffers Three Days of Agony Before the End of a Slight Wound’s Effects. nearly every other New York Theatre where the orchestra Is submerged—or whatever you have a mind to call it. The weird, wheezy sounds from the depths are just loud enough to be dis- tracting. It !s only now and then that sufficient Is heard to give any clue ¢o what the musicians are at. They seem to want to keep the selection asubter- ranean secret. The effect !s annoying. The muffled ‘music’ distracts rather than stimulates conversation. To tell the blunt truth, it fs a nuisance. No doubt the management and the musicians have good intentions. Their purpose is probably to have the music soft enough to be heard, but not loud enough to be obtrusive. But in attempt- ing this they should study the acoustics of the house. Music that can't be dis- tinguished beyond the first fow rows is a bigger bore than a cornet solo with @ trombone and bass drum accompani- ment played in the open. ‘The orchestra might better be relegated altogether. Jn fact, there are several theatres in this town where the bands—like wine— should be kept in the cellar.

Mattalla’s death came because he ne- glected a little nail scratch fn his right foot. He was employed on a butlding in Bleecker street. A week ago last Wednesday he jumped down from a barrel on which he was working. He fanded on a board in which were several wire nails. One of them penetrated the thick sole of his working shoo and the point scratched the skin of his foot. ‘The scratch was 60 slight that he paid no attention to it and for four days went about his usual work. But on the fifth day the little wound began, to ‘ain and his foot to swell. The pain nereased 80 that he went to Bellevue Hospital_a week ago last night with a friend.

The pains from his foot be- came more intense and he suffered greatly. Before noon his jaws had set no! rigidly that it was impossible to open them, TOMBS CHAPEL DEDICATED.
