ACTORS ARE SUPERSTITIOUS.
Peculiar Eccentricities that Break O
In First Nioht Plays.
Actors as a class are superstltloi
more or less especially so lust befo
they make their lirst entrance on tl
opening night of a now play.
Robert Edeson who is starring
"A Man's a. Man/ ' will never go (
unless he has In his pocket a lltt
piece of grease paint broken fro
the stick used when ho made his tl
but on the stage.
Hedwlg Relcher carries with her
German phennlg that was given
her In her llrst week's salary that si
earned as an actress.
Helen Ware carries on her persi
the letter sent her while she was
dramatic school , notifying her th
she should report ns a "super" wl
Maude Adams In "Tho Little Mln
tor. "
Elsie Ferguson would not dare i
on the stage unless she had the pi :
yhlch her name was prlntc
for the first time in her career as
an actress.
ROHO Htnhl Is no exception. Her
mascot Is a piece of ribbon she wore
in her hair the first time she ever
went on the stage In an amateur per
formanco.
Edmund Brcese , who will bo starred
by Henry B. Harris next season in t
new play , carries as a pockol-ploco i
coyote's ear , a souvenir of his ranch
Ing days out In the Dnkotas.
Frank J. Mclntyro would ns soot
court death as to go on the stag (
without carrying In his pocket the
draw string from the football suit he
wore In "Stronghearl" with Rober
Edeson , in which play he scored hit
lirst big success.
If all the actors In America wouli
contribute their lucky pieces It wouli
represent a collection of odds am
ends such as no curiosity shop hni
ever equalled.

HOP TO EASE THEIR NERVES.
1 Forty Business Men Forget the Offie
t Cares in the Y. M. C. A. "Gym. "
f Kansas City Star : Forty busines
men were rolling on the floor when
visitor entered the Young Men's Chrl
tlan association gymnasium soon aftt
3 noon yesterday.
3 "A ten shun ! " sounded the vole
of F. B. Barnes , physical director.
Forty men ranging in age from 2
to CO years , arrayed in brief trac
suits , began to form in line. Huma
types of all dimensions were repr
sented. They were all there , from tli
lean , gray haired "five-foot two incite ]
to the fat , bald headed man wli
weighs 220 pounds.
"Forward , hop ! " said the directo
And , picking up his left foot , ho b
gan to follow it across a 50-foot mi
by the single pedal transportation pr
cess. The class started only star
ed to follow. One would-be gymnai
did follow twenty steps , but that wr
the record.
"Come on ! Come on ! " called tl :
director. "You won't cure Indlge
tlon and ollice nervousness by stan
ing there looking nt me. "
"I bet I can do that , " exploded tl
heavy weight. "Watch me now. " Tl
class watched. Ho fell trying to gi
his left toes near bis loft hand.
Then a real estate dealer of pe
pendlcular build tried. Up went tl
left foot to meet the extended le
hand. They clinched. The real e
later moved with n slow hop. On tl
twelfth hop the foot and hand sop
rated on the floor.
"Jump ten steps and roll over
was the next command. The direct !
gave a demonstration. The class lee
' * ed on and on and on. No volunteer
"Got in the game ; get in the game
called the director. They could n
jump , that was easy. But the some
satilt , was too much.
"We'll try this ono again. " chuckle
the director , allowing a smile to plr
hide-and-seek with his ofliclal dlgnlt
"Hands under knees , " was the no :
card dealt. Forty , rights clasped forl
lofts below forty knees.
"Forward , hop ! " The director hoped
t
ped , the class ambled. Many fell I
the wnysldo ; .only four remained I
say "I did It. "
, A musician had been playing das
r
, . ing marches on the piano during tl
exercises , which wore intended to 1
spire the "athletes" with rhythmical
action. Some of them seemed quite
fond of the plnno. Two members of
the class slipped behind the lnstru <
incut when the director was putting
the others through the "knee-hop'
game and remained until he called :
'Fall In. Take down dumb-bollfl. "
When the dumb-bell order was given
[ here was a sigh of relief. They scent' '

TELLS GRAND OPERA SECRETS.
Arthur Hammersteln Says Season Cost
Father $1,100,000.
New York. May 14. "Will I tell yoi :
the salaries we actually paid our prln
clpal singers last season ? Sure , " sail !
Arthur Hammersteln at the Manhat
tan opera house.
"Opera Is .an expensive pastime , '
Hammersteln continued. "None bill
millionaires , unmindful of the cost
should dally with it , except In aucl
rare instances as that of my father
who has a genius for it.
"Roughly it cost him ? fifi,000 n wool
to keep open the doors of the Mnnhnt
tan opera house and the Phlladelphk
opera house last year. That , for t
season of twenty weeks , means an ex
pendlturo of $1,100,000 , a tidy sum foi
an ordinary man to expend in the hope
that an appreciative public will rolm
burse him for enjoyment he provides
"If the salaries of the principal sing
ers in opera have been exaggerated bj
the personal vanity and by nssiduoui
press agents , by the newspapers ant
by public credulity , they nro blj
enough , in plain truth , to be impos
ing.
"Tetrazzlnl , for instance , was pai <
last season $1,500 a night , with guar
antce of forty performances ; Mar ?
Garden's contract called for $1,400 i
night , with twenty performances as
sured her. She sang , of course , man ;
more times than her contract callei
for and profited accordingly.
"Remind got $1.000 a night for fort :
performances. So did Sammarco. Fo
every time be sang Dalmoro got $ GOC
Gerville-Reache was paid $430.50 a per
formance.
"Cavniierl got $1,000 a week fo
three performances ; Gilbert , $750 i
week ; Dussanne , $700 a week , am
Crabbe , $300 a week.
"Of the other artists in my father' :
company , of whom there were man ;
worthy , by the standard of singers , o
higher pay than they got , I prefer note
to speak individually. I simply wil
tell you that outside of the person
named my father paid to his princl
pal singers last season $245,000. "
PARKS FOR ALL THE PEOPLE.
How New York Plays in the Publl
Recreation Grounds.
New York , May 14. "I believe ii
making a great park of the greates
service to the greatest number of pec
pie , " said Charles B. Stover , park con :
missloner. "While I think the major :
ty of people appreciate a park most fo
Its beauty , I believe in making th
park not only a place of beauty bu
of use as well.
"The sand piles have proved n grea
success. They are crowded with chl
dren and mothers have written to m
gratefully about the pleasure afforde
their little ones. I intend to have to
sand piles in each big park.
"Another new thing with us is th
opening of tennis courts Sunday. The
will certainly be open Sunday aftei
noons and probably nil day. It dt
ponds upon whether we can get some
body to attend to the courts.
"I think 'hopscotch' is a splendi
game for children , and I have invite
them to come to the arsenal , wher
they can mark up the asphalt wit
chalk all they want to for 'hopscotcl
or any other game they want to pla ;
I wish them to have the same freedor

fountain , where no vehicles run , an
where the children can play In safi

ALL RIGHT TO SAY "AMEN. "
Bishop HUQhes Can't Do It Spontan
eously , but Perhaps Others Can.
Chicago , May 14. Speaking before
the convention of bishops of tint
Methodist Episcopal church hero to
day , Bishop Edwin Hughes of San
Francisco , said there Is plenty of room
In the church for the "amon"inembors ,
the members who In the religious fervor -
vor spontaneously glvo burst to tliolr
approval of sermon or prayer.
"I never said 'amen' spontaneously
In my life. " stated Bishop Hughes. "I
never could do It. But just because
1 can't do those things I am not goIng -
Ing to deny another man the right to
express his sentiments In the manner
that ho deems best.
"LOVE NOT OUT OF STYLE. "
"Women Now Demand lntellcctu.il Re
spect , " Mrs. Grant Says.
New York , May 14. Is love going
out of fashion ? Will the triumph of
woman suffrage sound the knell of
feminine sentiment ?
Mrs. Gertrude Athorton , the author ,
discussed this question in a current
magazine. Today Mrs. Ethel Watts
Mumfnrd Grant , author , playwright
and contributor to the Cynics' calen
dar , expressed her views on the sub
ject.
"Love will never go out of fashion , "
she commented , "though 1 agree with
Mrs. Atherton to the extent of admit
ting' that It will certainly bo Improved
by common sense. ' Women will mar
ry later , and , consequently , more wisely -
ly and happily. They will have fewer
and therefore better children. No
woman who has a largo number of
children can be an Ideal mother. She
hasn't time to be.
"I knew nn old lady In the west
who had about seventeen sons , who
used to say to them : 'When you wore
little I hoped that John would be
come president of the United States ;
Charles would be an admiral , James
a general , and so on , but now I'm sat
isfied to know that you all keep out
of jail. ' That's all the mothers of so
large a brood can hope for. The old-
fashioned mother knew that if two
fell off the roof , three died of scarlet
fever and a couple wore drowned while
in swimming she bad a fair-sized
family loft. The younger children , \
born of mature parents , have been
proved to be the best.
"At present the very young girl is
apt to mistake a general interest In
life for a special Interest in man , the
urge of youth for the urge of sex. All
her training encourages her to do so.
The public schools teach her a great
deal which is useless to her Instead
of preparing her , as I think they
should , for a definite occupation. The
woman with a profession or trade
marries later and bettor than the girl
who has to look to wifeltood for a
living.
"If women were educated less for
matrimony and more for general use
fulness and men on the contrary gave
their fitness for marriage more atten
tion , I believe men and women would
be much happier.
"A certain amount of antagonism is
necessary to keep the interest alive
between a man and a woman. Ono
of the essentials of happy marriage
is to be able to quarrel comfortably.
A husband and wife who agree in
everything bore each other to death.
"I think women demand the intel
lectual respect of men more than they
ever have. They still want love
they will always want it , but no long
er at any price. We can't say that
love has gone out o ffashlon. "
