THE STAGE
Julia Marlowe Taber is rapidly rising
in the esteem, not only of the New York
public, but even in that of the New York
critics. On the morning of her appear
ance as Juliet most of the dramatic writ
era with their usual conservation with
respect to anything new to that city
were moderate in their praise The
Sunday reviews, however, were most en
thusiastic. Only two of the critics were
harsh.
A curious incident once occurred to
Mr. Joseph Jefferson, connected with
his play, "Rip Van Winkle." There is
in the village of Catskill a Rip Van Win
kle club. "The society did me the honor
to invite me to act the character in
their town," said Mr. Jefferson. "I ac
cepted and when I arrived was met by
the president and other members of the
club, among whom was young Nicholas
Vedder, who claimed to be a lineal des
cendant of the original 'old Nick.' I
was taking a cup of tea at the table in
the hotel," continued Mr. Jefferson,
"when I was attracted to the colored
waiter who was giving a graphic and
detailed account of this legend of the
Catskill mountains to one of the Board
ers, who sat nearly opposite me.
" 'Yes, saL,' said the waiter, 'Rip went
up into de mountains, slept for twenty -years
and when he come back hyar in
dis berry town his own folks didn't know
him.'
" 'Why,' said his listener, 'you don't
believe the story is true?'
"'True? Ob course it is. "Whj,
pointing at Mr. Jefferson, 'dat's de man.'
"When I got to the theatre," said Mr.
Jefferson, resuming the story, "I could
scarcely get in, the crowd was so great
about the door. During the scene in
the last act, when Rip inquires of the
inn-keeper: 'Is this the village of Fall
ing Water?' I altered the text and sub
stituted the correct name: 'Is this the
village of Catskill? The crowded house
almost seemed to bold its breath. The
name of the village seemed to bring the
scene home to every man, woman and
child that was looking at it. From that
time on the interest was at its full ten
sion. Surely. I had never seen an au
dience so struck with the play before.'
There was a reception held at the club
after the play and the president was so
nervous that he introduced Mr. Jeffer
son as Washington Irving.
This season will give the death blow
without doubt to the stock companies,
says a dramatic paper. At least two of
them, and these two the most celebrated
in America Empire and Lyceum of
New York will practically cease to ex
ist a few months from now. The Ly
ceum is the oldest stock curaDany in ex
istence, excepting alone that of the
Comedie Francaise, which is supported
by the state. That of the Lyceum has
been supported by private enterprise for
more than half a century. The stock
company of the Empire has had an ex
istence of only four years, but it has won
for itself a very great reputation in that
time, and for some years proved to be the
best paying theatrical investment in the
land.
Both the theatres to which these com
panies have been attached have made
very large sums of money in the past.
But of late years the profits have not
been so great.
Why is it that two of the best known
theatrical enterprises in the land will
be compelled to strike their Hag? It is
no fault of the public's, for the man
agers of both these theatres unitein say
ing that the patronage they have re
ceived has been generous and satisfac
tory. The cause lies in a nutshell, and it is
h is, that actors are asking such salaries
that it is quite impossible for the man
agers of stock companies to pay without
very great risk to themselves. Had it
not been for The Prisoner of Zenda at
the Lyceum and Bohemia at the Em
pire, it is probable that the loss of both
houses would have beon quite large this
season. It will depone! upon the tag end
of the season whether either of them
makes any profit.
