TUB DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, DEUEMBElt 5, 1870. TUB ST A GE MA fTA ORR. Tb "aUge Manager," if ho be endowed with the proper degree of efficiency, in the perion with whom the public is uioit con ocrced. With the commercial affairs of the enterprise he has nothing to do; but of the stage be is absolute master, "p'iUin piece cpon the stage" being his chief dot. The ideal "Mage manager ' ahonld be able to take a play-book in his hand, and, without disturb ing influence, direct what is called the "basl Bess" of every scene, arranging the artist into picturesque group, and generally con triving that the effeot to the ejo of the spee tators shall be as varied and as pleasing as possible. He will take care thai three or four persons do not remain too long in the. same straight line, pointing out when they way eonveniently "cross" each other, and changn tbeir relative positions. With re spect to old pieces, he onght to he lsarned in tne matter of tradition, but ni no obstinate as to turn a deaf e&r to all sng-jestion for im provement. The actor gives color to the per formance, but all that in pictorial art is balled composition is the work of thefirago-manager. During the execution of a ballet his func tions are in abeyance, the temporary ruler being the ballet-master. So are they in those comio sceres of a harlequinade where every thing depends on the humor of the clown, the clown becoming master of the stage, despot over columbine, pantaloon, and harle quin, who rises, in his turn, to supremacy when he dances pat de deujr, technically called "trips," with columbine, lint these art merely exceptional oases. The general conduct of the piece belongs to the stage manager only. Therefore, it is to be regret ted thnt his merits and demerits are so fre quently iguored by professional critics. "With a con pany of middling actors who jnst understand their trade, and could "read" without offense, a first-rate stage manager would at least produce a pleasing pic ture for the masses. As he is sup posed to be always present in the theatre, it is Lis duty to make announcements or apologies, whenever occasion requires, as the official spokesman to the public The stage manager l amed in the bills is sometimes re duced to comparative inactivity when the manager par excellence, himself a master of the art of stage management, will not intrust the realization of his ideas to another person. Mr. Macresfly, Mr. Charles Kean, M'nie Ves tris, were all virtually the stage managers of their own tbentres, merely leaving inferior details to the care of the nominal oftioor. Somttimeo, too, the authority is delegated to the author of n piece, when he is supposed to be a man rf "practical" as well as of literary talent. Hut these are all cases of the union of two ofiicts in one person, just as an analo gous union is produced when tho manager is also the" principal actor. Pall Afa-l Gazette. THE CHEAT YIOI.IX-MAKEU. Whether the violin model came from France or Italy, it is indebted to Italy, and to Italy alone, for its rise and progress. If it wasal rtDob seed, it erly lloited away. from its native land to take root and nourish in Italian soil. There were great late schools at Brescia as early as 14.10, and viols were fabricated in large quantities somewhat later at Venice, ISologns, and Mantua. But it was in the workshop of Gasparo di Silo that the first Italian violin was probably made. Like film net. nit lh crreat violin-mnknra. ha livnd to an advuticed ace. and died, after fifty good years of work, in the town of Brescia, 'ihe rise of music in Italy, and the perfection of the great violin schools, closely followed the rise and perfection of Italian painting. It was at the beginning of the sixteenth cen tury that all tho elements of the art which had existed apart from each other begin to oome together; the study of anatomy and chiaroscuro, from Floraece and Padua, rich ness of color from Venice, reverence for ideal beauty from Umbria. It was towards the end of the seventeenth century that one great maker gathered up in himself the perf ecti ns of all hisprederRSors,and bequeathed to modern ears, in tenal splendor, delights analogous to those which the noblest painters have left us in form and color. Like the rapid perfee tion of Greek culture under Pericles, or the sudden blossoming of Italian art under Pope Julius II, so, at the close of one short cen tury, broke into perfect bloom the flower of the Cremoue.se school. AntoniusStradaarius sttnda croMxed the monarch of his art, the Phidias or the ltaphael of the violin. He was high and thin, and looked like one worn with much thought and incessant industry. In summer ho wore a whito cotton night-cap, and in winter a white one made of some woollen material. Jie was never seen without his apron of white leather, and every day .was to him ex actly like every other day. His mind was always riveted upon his one pursuit, and he seemed neither to know nor to desire the least change of occupation. Ilia violins sold for four goldn livres apiece, and were con sidered the best in Italy, aad, as he never spent anything, except upon the necessaries of life and his own trade, he saved a good slaal sif iiiinv mrtA f Vi a ! m nl mi n .1 ad P.a monese used to make jokes about his thrifti ness, and iiot, perhaps, without a little touch -of envy, until the favorite proverb applied to a prosperous fellow-citizen uaed to be "As rich as Stradnarius!" Good Words. Poker Piotvbih. The curious produc tions known as poker-pictnres or poker-drawings have neither paint nor inlay, neither pressing nor cutting. They are nothing but panels of wood in which dark shadings have been produced by the application of red hot tools. Many sohool-rooms, many country mansions, snd some churches, are in posses aion of rpecimeca of this kind of art. "A Study of a Female Head," "A Tiger Killing Deer," "the Temptation of Christ, ' Cornelius Sending for St. Peter," "The Saviour Bearing the Cross," "The Good Samaritan," "The Head of a Rabbi," "Oliver Cromwell" these are among the subjects of snob, pictures known to have been produced in this eooen trio department of art. Connoisseurs of poker pictures talk about Smith, ef Skipton; Cranch, of Axminfcter; Thompson, of Wilts, aad Collis, of Ireland, its artists of some note. About the beginning of the present century there was an extibiiion of poker-picture in Lon don, oomprihicg fifty-three specimens by a Mrs. KfcUon, and thirteen by Miss Kelson, The pictures were, without any high-flown words, det-cribed as having btea "done on wood with hot pokers;" and they were to be seen "at the farrier s adjoining the Lyceum, in the Strand." Cranch is said to have first tried bis hand in this humble department while atar.ding before an ' oakeu chimney piece; he took a red-hot poker out of the fire, and scorched a rather bold and effective design on the oaken p'antls. A good Smith, we are told, win ftcu a tolerable price among the poker-adimrers.in imitation of col lectors' prices in other and Li'l'I er walks of art. The scorching is effected by any heated bar of iron, but in the beat specimens tools of various nbapes are uaed, to make some of tbe scon Ltd lines narrower and finer than others; the aiti&ta having, literally, many irons in the fire at once. 4 The actual lines of the device are first penoillol or dravr; the scorohing is to produce l!m shade t, tbe lighter tints boing the re mit of holding the red-hot iron very cl t to the vw d, bnt not quite touching it. If the I and have any strongly-marked lines, fibres, knots, eyes, curls, or other diversities of fcrtiin, tbe nrtist sometimes avajl hiutself of tbefe lr produce piotoriftl effect, scoro'iing s ron lid or near them acoording to circtim sfri.ces. In one instance a knot in tbo wool was made to represent the eye in a portrait, by a few judicious touches of the scorohi-vj-iroc; while in another case cm led lines or grain-raaiks were made nvailabta to repre sent the fmrows in an old man's check. Tse nrtist, in fact, studies his panel, or shoald d J so. All the Year Round. iThe IjIttlh Monosyllable little ruonosjllnHe "if." what "If.' That a part has it played or rot played in tbe annuls of the woild! 7Daiins had never received a cer tain cuitain lecture from hii wife there would never have been a Persiau invasion of Greece: if the nose of Cleopatra hi been fdnrUr the fate of Europe would have been changed; t only when King Louis was flying from his capital and his throne there had been no hitch in the exooution of his plans, he wonld never have been arrested at Varan nts, Marie Antoinette would never have been the tragic ' figure in history tht she is, and a war which, as it was, necessi tated a new map of Europe, would nover have spread the ruin, desolation, and havoc that it did. For that celebrated flight every thing that human prudence could foresee had been foreseen. The royal family of Franoe entered upon it with confident prognostica tions of safety. The little Dauphin, dis guised in girl's clothes, was exultant and giy, as befitted a French boy. He said they ware going to play a comedy, as they were dis guised in strange dresses. M. le Comte de Perron had charge of driving the royal car riage a gallant Swedish nobleman, who, four, years back, bad been inspired with aa ardent but respectful and distant admiration, aa Lamartine informs us, for Marie Antoinette. These sentiments bad been increased in intensity by absence. The Queen, with true Womanly instinct, at this Bupreme moment of peri), fixed upon him as the person who was, above all others, the man capable to take charge of their flight from Paris; and the charge, says the historian of the Girond ists, was at once and honorably aocoptcd. At first everything went well. They passed the barrier without being discovered and -reached Bondy in safety. At Montmirail, between Meux and Chalons, aninaaspicious accident happened to the 'royal car riage, which involved, for ' purposes of repxir, an hour s Btopprne. bull no obbtrnclion was offered; and the Queen, on intering Chalons, exclaimed, "Weare saved!" and fainted with joy. rtnt the rata or the flight was sealed at St. MonehonlJ. Drouet, the poKtmaster, a stern republican, recognized the illustrious fugitives, and Immediately upon the recognition made up his mind to the course he would pursue. Yet even now all was not necesmrily lost. That igno minious "if!" If M. de Bouille, the zealous adheient of the king, had but communicated to Louis that the horses would be posted be hind the tower instead of in front of it; if a delay of several hours had not thus been caused, matters might yet have been well.
