ing all records for bigness , welcomed the
veteran actor on his llrst entrance with applause -
plauso lasting fully two mliiiitcs , nnd fol
lowed Ilic familiar fortunes of "Hip Van
Wlnhlo" with tears and laughter , as ho
pleased to provoke them. No man could
bo Insensible to mich a reception. Mr. Jct-
ferson certainly was not. Ho spoke twice
Leforo the curtnln In acknowledgment , a
thing not many of those present had ever
heard him do. At the end of the first net
he was heartily called once nnd a second
lime , and then holding up his hand for
sllonrp1m snld :
"Ladles and Gentlemen : I know that It
is not quite the thing to make a speech in
the middle of a play ; but I cannot let the
occasion pass without expressing my warm
appreciation of the affection which yon have
shown for our mutual friend. Hip Van
Winkle. I thank you most sincerely. "
Again , after the final curtain , the nudl-
enco clamored for a last glimpse of the
kindly old gentleman. He appeared nmt
stood u moment , waving his hand In fare
well. Still the uproar of shouts and cheers
nnd clapping of hands continued. Mr. Jef
ferson. In the rags and heavy beard of the
later Hip , crossed to the center of the stage
end appeared about to speak again. The
iron curtain had already begun Its majestic
( Uscent. When ho could be heard , the ven
erable actor said :
"My friends ; 1 nm Inexpressibly touched
by the warmth of your greeting. If the
iron curtain will wait n moment 1 will try ,
although I shall not bo able , to tell you
how gratifying this Is to me. Some of you
may not' know that It Is more than a quarter
of a century since I first appeared1 In your
city , playing the part which you have been
kind enough to applaud tonight , and I doubt
not I played it then nnd have played It
slnco before the parents and grandparents
of many who arc hero present. Once more
I thank you , and good-bye ! "
Of Mr. Jefferson's Hip , what can one of
the third generation of those wnom It has
delighted say , which has not been said and
reiterated by his forebears ? Time cannot
wither this rare- old player apparently , nor
custom stale his Intlnlto variety. Many
who can remember the Hip of the remote
period referred to can note no changes In
It nuw. To others It seems to Imvo taken
on a mellowness with age- and to have be
come refined and sublimated. At 07 the
creator plays It with all the lire of youth.

Douglas Street-
to such tributes , that an unusual nudlcnco
was before him , and he quite outdid him
self , If that were possible. Audiences have
grown so familiar with this Impersonation
that they know It thoroughly from end to
end , watch for the expected points and
eagerly note any alteration In text or busi
ness. On this occasion old-timers saw other
things done bcsldo the speech-making which
assured them that Mr. Jefferson was not In
sensible to the marks of approbation which
were showered upon him. The community
Is made up of his good friends ; nnd they
unite In the hope that ho may live long , nnd
prosper , and continue to charm them with
the beauty of his art for many years yet
to come.
The old play has never been presented
hero by so good a company. Indeed , Mr.
Jefferson's support on his present tour Is
exceptionally strong. It Includes Mary Shaw ,
a rarely capable artist , better known to
theater-goers In Hoston nnd the east than
hereabouts , who Invested the role of Gret-
chcn with n dignity ami strength hitherto
denied It ; John Jack , a veteran of nearly
Mr. Jefferson's own length of stage ex
perience , whoso Knlstaff was ono of the best
characterizations of the fat knight ever seen
In this country , and Gustavus Lcvlck , the
worthy son of an honored father.
It will be good news to music-lovers that
W. T. Taber , who has not been much heard
of Into upon his favorite Instrument , will
noon Inaugurate a series of organ rectlnls
similar to those wlilch have proved popular
In other seasons. Arrangements have been
perfected whereby these concerts will bo
given In St. Mary's Avenue Congregational
church every Sunday afternoon , and the first
Is announced for October IS , nt 3:30 : p. m.
"Darkest Russia , " which bears the unique
distinction of being billed for four nights ,
commencing Sunday , mutlnce , October l.X
nt both of the local play houses , Is exciting
much comment , not only upon the merit of
the production , but alto the novelty of the
situation.
In every way , It Is said , the play appeals
to all classes of theater-goers. The story
Is promised as being one of Interest , nnd
discloses n series of stirring scenes and situ
ations. The theme revolves around thu
political system of Hussla , and shows the
peculiar laws which govern the land. For
four seasons the play has met with great
success , and Is one of the most popular at
tractions travelling. It Is said to bo beauti
fully mounted and that an exceptionally
strong company make up the cast.
A most unique distinction Is held hy Otis
Skinner. Ho was the first American actor
to receive the degree of Master of Arts by
virtue of accomplishment In hie profession.
Ho received his M. A. from Tufts college ,
Cambridge , a little more than a year ago ,
Just prior to the conferring of a like degree
upon tlio dean of the faculty. Joseph Jeffer
son , by Harvard. Mr. Skinner's degree an
tedates Jefferson's by about a fortnight. U
Is n Rlgnltlcant Hlgn of social tendency when
an Institution of learning sets Its seal ot
approval on the achievements of an actor ,
and uhon the honored one Is a man who has
upheld the best standards of his art and
fought resolutely for the maintenance ot
the high Ideals of the dramatist and the
theater , the Justice of the tendency cannot
he gainsaid. Although Ihe youngest of nil
Ms confreres In his experience ns a star ,
Mr. Skinner has had n remarkable career.
In two years ho has produced three new
plays by native authors and revived two
stundard works of Shakespeare. During the
coming seabon he will present n new roman
tic drama from his own pen , nnd add In his
list of Shakespearean characters , "Illclmrd
III" nnd "Komeo. " The repertory for Mr.
Skinner's coming engagement , which opens
at' the Crelghton tonight , l > .att been nrrnnged
as follows : The opening play will he "Ham
let ; on Friday night , "Ilomeo nnd Juliet
will bo given ; nt the Saturday matinee , "The
Lady of Lyons , " nnd Saturday night , Mr.
Skinner will present his new , romantic play ,
"A Soldier of Fortune. "
At the Crelghton for three nlghtn , com
mencing Thursday evening. October 22 , "The
flny Parisians. " Manager Charles Frohman's
latest comedy1 success , will bo seen for the
first tlmo In this city. It will bo presented
by the same cast , headed by W. J. Ferguson
nnd Sadie Martlnot , that originally presented
It nt Hoyt's theater. New York. Its New-
York run of five months would have been
made Indefinite but for the fact of other
engagements. In Hoston and Chicago long
runs were also achieved. The furco. which Is
even a greater success than "Charley's
Aunt , " Is now being played In Ijondnn ,
Kngland , under the title of "A Night Out. "
