LOOKED PAINED" » Disc iplire the Watchword of Edward P. Temple Stage Manager of the Hippodrome—Preferred ‘i to Work Up Raw Material Rather Than Take ae the Trained Stage Product—Hopes to Make the Huge Amusement Place Famous for Its Chorus and Ballet. B'S not a glant—as might be {magined—the man behind the Hip- podrome's huge show. He's no taller than he ought to be, a fluttened-out sort of ladividuul, in his early forties, who seems to have become compressed by long years of squeezing in and out of crowds of rehearsing stage-folk, i | “The most unpleasant man in New York” was the way Mr. Edward P, © Temple was laughingly introduced to me, Mr. Temple took no exception to 4c the words, He simply chilled me with an fey glance, drew back his right “hand and perfunctorily suffered me to pounce upon his left. He was faving "* his right for a very good reason, That day his tireless efforts to make the Iftp- wehpodrome performance a stupendous success had been rewarded by a stage >°hand dropping a section of “border lights” on his right hand, It wus, ewathed In bandages and painted with fodine and bathed in liniment. Mr. 59!Temple looked pained, cheerless and uneasy, and he wanted to go home, ©° But with martyr-like resignation he allowed himself to be led across the ©? street to a chop house, where, under the exhilarating influence of milk and viohy, he was induced to talk of the gigantic task he has accomplished, an ° achievement that has made him the most-talked-of stage manager in New Mork to-day. T had sought out Mr. Temple with the humane desire to ‘give the devil Kis due’—a thing which the newapapers, in their hysterical enthusiasm over the town’s newest and biggest toy, have neglected to do, rd a“ s rd * s a rd : ISCIPLINE {s the watohword of the man who has brought order out D of the chaos that marked the early rehgareals of the Hippodrome’s mob, “Discipline,” declared this martinet of stegeland, “is as essential to © the success of a stage profuction as it is to the success 0. ® plan has been to place every individual on bia or hee honor to do his or fo Rer very best and, above all, to insist on punctuality. This, of course, »/ wasn’t the easiest thing in the World to do, but gradually this spirit took “#hold of the five hundred-odd people on whose int¥iligence, skill and hearty so-operation the success of the stage performances depended, The way to make them underatand this was to treat them like human beings, There was no fining. I don't believe in that syatem, They did what was expected of them, or they didn’t do at all,” “Most of the performers had had previous experience, I suppose?” “No,” sald Mr. Temple. “Out of the 410 persons who take part in ‘A «Yankee Cirous on Mars’ and ‘Andersonville’ fot more than forty hac ever “ appeared on the stage before. I preferred to take the raw material and work "it up according to my own {deas, rather than ha’ lot of people who had} on trained under other stage manngers, whose !(2as I would first have . ‘adicate before I coltld do anything with my own, I-etarted Oct, 31—before fh stnglo piece of ateel had been put in the hullding—organizing the company, By Deo, 12 I had all the pecple [ required, and those who proved the most promising were given thelr contracts as New Year s gifts, In selecting a * @orus.L triod 1,200 voices, It was necessary also that the girls dance, for oy on A 3 determined not to have a ballet that, when it had finished dancing, stood ‘ oY pboitt Nke co many ploces of useless turniture, The Hippodrome’s ballet is *.@ purely American {nstitution, and I feel confident that it will refute the *“oft-mnde assertion that America doesn't care for the ballet, I beljeve America vedttllortn to'like g. ballet of not more than thirteen minutes, and that the Bteoll, whom class 1d The » Mippodiome’s ballet and chorus will become famous from one end of the S-countyy to the cther, One thing that has militated against the ballet in this country 49 that it has almost invariably been composed of forelgh an- Aiqués who actually pained the eye. I was convinced that a good ballet could » me, formed of young, gooll-looking, graceful American girls, even though -aithey lacked the advantage of long training 80 easily obtaiuable in Burope, “and I persieted in that ylan. Our Itallan-ballet master wanted to bring over trained danvers, but it seemed to me that the one chance of making the Sballet popular hore was in making it national and pleasing to the eye. There “are only nine experienced dancers in our ballet. We had to have a few old a, 22mes, Of Course, but,” and Mr, Temple surprised me by actually smiling, cae? have, a masked,” } - eo Co rd rs id HEN ets ‘8 sun revealed 8-U-C-C-E-8-8 gtamped upon thy ae Ww Podrome tn’ émiling lettors— Mr. Thompson eaid 've got to catch my breath.” Mr. Dundy said: “I don’t weigh a pound.” Mr. Temple paid: “I'll have Lo make some changes.” ko all good ataye managers, Mr, Temple, apparently, 16 never aatis- fed, hae early next: day he wos: again rehearsing the company forall he was wort} » There Is, of course,” said he, “rach a thing as too much rohearsing, but ith sich a big prodiiction on one's hands it's hard to tell where to stop. “Phere is always the danger of overtraining, of working the performers so sAuoh that they become stale, Individual work often removes the necessity for. potas on the whole company for further exertion, and, having been an pppfoton ainger and daucer, ax well as @ tlege manager, I have done a great “went of this kind of work in getting the Hippodrome company into Mane, | wv Perhaps the most norlous obstacle In the way of attaining the degree of per- tection ‘almed at has been the failure of some of the taechanical devices to ; ou work ‘as they dil on Daper, One never knows what machinery is going YI to do) ‘and ours hasn’t done ail that was expected of it.
