Anecdotes of the Tragedian as Related
By a Fellow Actir ,
.V "Memento ot . ( CMC Jmnc . "Mr-
OtillotiKli'alillltl " ! usu Slnui-r
A Mctlntto IH-slputlon.
The subject of "John McCiilloncb , " of
whom so much haa been said in the pail
few inontln , true and fulao , la becoming
rather threadbare , despite the fact that
that eminent tragedian has many trlcnda
who arc deeply interested in his welfare ,
conversation hold ! > / a representative
of the DUE yesterday with Edmund Col
lier , the rising young actor , developed
some points , honovor , which .ire
given as bsmg of possible interest to
Omaha admirers of the tragedian , of
whilom greatness. Mr. Collier , at pres
ent with the "Storm Beaton" company ,
wai for fDur years the loading male
support in the McCullough com-
pauy , and is well acquainted with the
traits of the great etago gcniua.
Without attempting a detailed descrip
tion of McCullough's general or particu
lar traits of character , Mr. Collier related
a s'.ory or sj which show u ell the great
and ruling characteristics of the man.
"Thcro is one point about McCul-
lough's chnmstnr which alway * impressed
me , " said Mr. Collier , "and llut was hia
grim humor. Ilia wit was clumsy , ele
phantine , but impressive , and his la'k
and actions were invott jd with the suno
trait. There is one anecdote ever which
I often lahgh At the time that Me-
Cu'longh ' was playing in Kinaaa City ,
JHBSO James was killed at St. Joseph.
Miss Foraj the , at that time in the
troupe , wai a gtmt admirer of the James
boys , and lamtntid crcatly the cruel
fate which bad decreed the death of the
bold , bad bandit.
The remains of the dead highwaymen
were brought from St. Joseph to Kttneaa
City , nud the mumper of the Hannibal
ifc St. Joaoph railriaJ , a special friend of
McCullougha' , Invited him down to the
depot to lock at the remains. MIJE
Fc ytho of cjureeatitod to "gotjo , "
but la this she was prevented by
MeCullonuh , who thought that
elio w mid bo better without the night
Mlts Foriytho plead in vain. McJul
lough would not relent. The matter WOE
finally adjusted by a earthing promiSc
on the part of McCullough tn ta o the
hdy when the company patsod through
St. Joseph , to the spot where James had
died , to point out his eld quartersand ti
buy her some memento of the dead ban
dit. Reaching that city , our next stand ,
MUB Foraysho was taken in charge bj
Mr McCull iib , who amply fulfilled the
first par ; of his promise in showing hoi
the historic spot. As regards the second
Miss F. was surprised t > racetvo a daj
or to aftoward , a heavy cooking stove ,
carefully boxed , markud "A memento oi
Jassa James.Q ouw , John McCullough. '
"The gnat actor , " continued Mr
Collier , "was mott Indefat gable In hli
drill. Lip had us practicing all the tlmo
At first his ideas of rch-a sal were not at
pronounced and dtfmud , but latterly hi
iuslated upon his company's ' spending
hours every day in the most thorongl
and exhaiutivo drill upon euch parts ai
ho deemed necessary. I remember oni
little Incident in this connection , which ii
always to mo sadly amusing. Yoi
know McCullough could never whlatlo 01
s nij that Is , correct'y. ' Of course
ho could make certain noises , but then
wai not the slightest clement , of miuli
therein. We were rohearaing one o
McCullongh's fatLous plays , tn whicl
laze has to sing tbo verso ,
King Stephen was a worthy peer , etc.
After singing tbo verse once , Jagi
says , yon know , to the assemblage. "Wil
you hear mo again ? ' Of course everybody
in deference hastens to say "yee , yes
good tirl" When McCullongh was play
ing the part in rehoaraal , ho managed ti
get through the stanza , and turniiij
around said , "Will yon hear rae again ?
The effect of his vocal cll'irt was ai
wretchedly ludicrous that everybody burs
into laughter , and tald , "no , no , no , n > j
lord ! " "Then -t" said McCul
lough , and ho walked oil' the stage in i
petulant humor which was suatainci
during the rest of the day.
"McCullough uaod to relate an inter
esting reminaconca of the great acto
Forres relative tothi period of his play
ing in that actor's ' support , " laughed Mr
Collier , continuing. "Forrest at th
time I speak of was suffering severe' ' ;
from rheumatism of the haulj , paiofu
in the extreme. In one of the part
which Forrest was rehearsing vtitl
McCullough , ho fcrmer ea'd ' nithdrawir
hand Irum the Hjman toga , "Dares
tbou take this hand aitu ? " Me
Culloughalappod hia hand upon the in
jur.tl and swollen member of hia fdlo\
tragedian , and with a roguish twinkle
st.id " 1 dare , sir ! " "D you , " sail
Forrest , huatily withdrawing his paw
"cover do that Pgaln , sir ' ' I suppose
however that when the dread rheiimttlsi
departed , McCullough was allowed t
handle the ploj according to its prc
prloties.
"What do I know about his health
Very little of an authentic nature ,
have not heard from him for aomo time
I saw a cquih In eomo paper the othc
day about him , which if true would InJ
cato that ho la roco\orlng. It eai
that ho Jwas fast regaining hi
hea'th ' , and WAS studying , with a view t
producing it on the stage , a play writto
by a young Greek in New York. Thl
same pl.iy which was written for th
tragedian two joars ago , I well rt
member. Before McOnllough's broal
down ho cherished the Idea of producin
It with his old company. The play I
entitled Iho "Wife of Mlletna , " and wn
written by the young Greek In at oi
ceodingly happy vein. It 11
like tho"Ingomar.oicept that the part
i f the hero and heroine are exactly re
\uraod. I am afraid that McCullaug
will never bo abla to handle it , though
ainceroly hope ao. "
"Acquainted aa you are with the groi
actor's life and traits , do y u ut'nbn1
hia mental and phjual breaking dow
to overwork , or ta dissipation , or both
"Largely to dissipation McCulloajj
had friends every where , and no matti
in what city or town ho was playlnj
there were friends who would take hi
oat to wine or oyster suppers. A mt
cannot do bu work under each treme ;
deus pressure aj McCnllough did hi
and dlaetpate BO freely , without his cour
eventually telling , with terrible and la ;
ing eIfect uptn his systein. Fiutn wn
I have aeon and known of the great tra
edlan , I think I can tay that the impal
incut of hU mental faculties , aa well
the wrack of hia pbyaicil eyatum , can
traced to hia dissipated habits , as t
principal producing came. "
