“ORANGE JOHN” A MODEST MATINEE IDOL! Hit Made by Harvard’s Mascot and Fruit Seller Hasn’t Turned His Head. HE LIKES THE STAGE. He's Having thé Time of His Life and Is Still a Good Irishman. BY ALICE ROHE. ‘A new star has arisen in the Great White Way. Moreover he !s a matinee {dol and quite the most delightful old matinee idot, befrilled and bevlumed | femininity could worship. { Yes, “old 1s the word, and matinee i F : E i z I Got What Was Coming-to Him. Let tt be known that John was sitting fn the ‘very best chair in Henry Wood- rafts Greasing-room. Of courwe. Didn't he have just claim to dressing-oom No. 1 beth by right of the hit he had made fm the play and on account of the fact that he and “Me fren’ Harry’ were “amd how do Ot like the stage, !s it? @hure, and I'm having the to.me of me lite. Yeo see, it’s foine fer me and me fren’ Harry to be after actin’ in the same play. And it's because of my fondness for him and for all the Har- vard b'ys I was for comin’ to New York to make the play seem real.” Old John hes fdeas of realism on the stage, but he absolutely refused to go tnto any high flown discourse, And yet this new Broathway star has mingled with the first poets and phil- osophers of classic Cambridge. ‘Wasn't he the fren’ of Longfellow? of Oliver Wendell Holmes? Lowell? Agassiz and other great Americans, And coukin't he give opinions on any subject he wanted to? “I'm not after eritiolzing the drama,” aid Jobn, “now that I'm an actor. The only tolme Ot tver fergot meself was they was tryin’ to give picture of on Irish wake." Tt was Dion Bouocicault's “The Shaughrawn” that called forth John's outburst, now @ classic anecdote at Harvard. The caricature of bis coun- trymen ‘was too much for John and rising to his feet he denounced the picture as a lie, jen the ushers wanted pethad} bea Ceol out Bowsicaut stepped et tit Tan alone!
