I ‘WAS Cashel Corbett’s con~ fession. “{ want to reach the point’ —he looked hard at the carpet with his hands locked, but his héart open—‘‘where people will turn around and say, ‘There goes Jim Corbett, the actor;’ not ‘There goes Jim Corbett, the fighter.’ The other sounds better.” Tt was at Daly's, and otherwise Mr. Corbett was happy. The boyish ex- uberance that marked his opening performance was still with him, and the smile he wore on Monday night had not come off. “You want the public to forget you ‘were a fighter?” + “Yes, 1 do. I'm through with the ring and I'm doing something else. ‘And yet every time a paper mentions ‘mo it starts off by saying, ‘Jim Cor- Peed ecrehallae lRd iacet heen daa “There Goes Jim Corbett, the Actor.” bett, the prize fighter;’ or, ‘James J. Corbett, the ex-champion.’ Now, every one knows I was a prize fighter and that I am an _ ex-champion. ‘What's the use of the papers telling it over and over again?” A Pinero near-lady never evinced @ more earnest desire to live down the past. It was almost pathetic. ‘The pensive James J.'’s sigh stirred en echo in my sympathetic soul. Never again would I write “Jim Cor- bett, &c., &c.” But the eternal why of the thing wouldnt behave. “Why?" repeated Actor Corbett, wvith mild reproach. “You know well as I do that the public looks “THE WORLD: SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY13;1906, JIM CORBETT the ACTOR-SOUNDS down 6n pugiliem, But is there any Teason why a pugilist shouldn't have an ambition, the same as other peo- ple?” Surely not. “T didn't go into the ting for the past. Don't you like Cashel Byron?” Nice young chap. * “I do,” went on his champion en- thusiastically. “He's a mighty nice fellow, I think. But after reading the book three or four times I couldn't see how any one could make a play out of it. I'd be going along all right, and then I'd run into a lot of dead wood. How to separate the bright stuff from the dead wood was what puzzled me. But Mr. Stange {hag done it. It seems wonderful to me,” I sparred for a further opinion of Shaw. “Well,” said the nimble Bernard's latest exponent, “he certainly knows how to write bright, lively stuff, and that’s what the public wants. Why, 1 went to ‘Man and Superman’ and had one of the best laughs of my life. It isn’t much of a play, of course, but the people in it all have _|a bright line of talk and keep you ry of the thing.

If you have an idea that Mr. Cor- bett entered “historic Daly's” with fear or trembling, perish the thought. “T wes a little surprised,” he said, | “when told we were coming to Daly's, and Iwas pleased. But that was all. | I learned when in vaudeville that the better the aidience, the better my suff went, My monologue always went best at Hammerstein's, which draws the highest class audiences of any vaudeville house in the coun- try—the Vanderbilts, the Astors, and as a scratch.

If a fellow can keep his nerve in the ring with a lot of mad- men yelling at him, he onght to be able to keep it before an audience at Daly's. I've been before the public for years, many times when a single move would have meant the loss of everything. And when I went on the stage I knew what to do with my hands and feet. I could walk across the stage without stumbling. I started in with more experience than most actors have when they begin. Now there was Mansfieid, Where did he come from? From behing o dry-goods counter, And if a dry- goods clerk can have an ambition, why shouldn't a pugilist have one? By gollies! he’s certainly better fitted to face the,public. But, say,” halted Corbett, I will own up to one marrying you, I may as well have the satisfaction of saying I'd like to," SETTER Charles Darm “Now There Was Mansfield.’ | wouldn't waste any tjme over thing: I was afraid of the press. But the notices were grand!” Mr. Corbett was in his shirt-sleeves and talked from the ci -clder, Both hands went up in glee, and his smile | followed cuit as he remembered one thing that cheered his soul on the| night of r shts. “After the second act,” he sald,! “my boy came back and told ze that! he saw Charles Frohman at the ‘phone and heard him say, ‘It’s great By gollies! that was pretty good, ~ asn’t it? And say,” he went on with ingenuous pride, “did you notice that suit I wore in the last act? ‘That got a ‘hand’ all by itself.” From clothes and the man we drifted to Cashel's other sult—his strenuous wooing. Did Mr. Corbett approve of that style for every-day! use? “Well,” he laughed, “I didn’t make love to my wife that way. But it struck me that a fellow like Cashel would get it all off his chest at once, and I told Mr. Stange at rehearsal that I'd like to do it in my own way. ‘Go ahead,’ he said. Ik was my opinion that Cashel, when he says, ‘If I can't have the satisfaction of “Did You Notice That Sult?” it. Ly a's answer, ‘That's hardly a fair way of approaching the subject,’ gives an excuse for Cashel plunging into the subject. But I’m not at all lke Cashel off the stage, I plunge Into things. If you're to make love to a woman, you: approach her carefully, and find what she likes and what she dislifinas. © If she says, ‘I don’t like Go-and-Gag) he doesn't seem sincere; He's Tibly affected,’ it’s up to you to Ml another kind of fellow. If she cagmy, ‘I like So-and-So, for his indepemiy ence and the freshness of his ideam? you've got your tp right thera % bellsve women like men who a&@ themselves and don't try to be somebody else. That's why Loviiw falls in love with Cas! She = his professfon, but she can’t help admiring him. That thing has Gap pened many a time. The man Who is natural with a woman is the mam who wins her ninety-nine times out of a hundred. Naturalness is the secret of love~making, I belleve, Sar as it is of acting.” Corbett’s “Art of Love” struck me as a trifle contradictory, but before I could argue the case he was back té his “ambition” again. { don’t think I could ever be @ serious actor,” he said, “but I do believe I can do light comedy—the sort of tung that Willie Collier does. Clement Sco. said so when I wes over in London with ‘Gentleman Jim.’ The idea had never entered my head, but when I asked ‘Bill’ 3 Brady if he thought there was Be i e i he said, ‘Sure there is, Jim. for it.’ And I have, by gollies a making of a light comedian in CHARLES DARNTON, ; HUNT WASHINGTON ESCUTCHEON HERE Bishop Potter Advises that | Subscription Be Raise for Its Recovery.
