(
BEHIND THE SCENES.
From the nljrht wtaon my father took mo to
eee.Fofrest RJ"dparlacu,"ia the Gla&iilor oh,
s every ro many years ft.ro, at the old Federal
I Btreet Theatre In Boston theatrical have had
for me an undiminished finclnnlion. I was a
mere school boy at the time, and the first Inside
View of a theatre, with ttii dazzling; llarhts, its
tier on tier of gilt aud paint, its crowd of people,
1U mysterious "green curUln," its pompous
."drop" curtain, and finally the eplendor of its
stage effects, the actinp, and the play Itself
thete furiiihed such an unexpected and marvel
lous scone of enchantment, that memory turns
to It even now, whfn judgment and experience
have long since formed more correct estimates
f the 11 otter, with genuine Batinfaction. From
that memorable night forward the word
'theatre" had a magic sound to rue, and long
, before my school-days were over 1 had become
actor and manager in more than one "Dramatic
Corps," whose juvenile performances In various
attics nnd barns never tailed to "bring down
the Loue" with rapturous applause.
The mof-i sucr-esMul "establishment" with
Which 1 was connected in that inexperienced
season of youth we mimed the Star Thcntrc"
It was located in Wilkins' mother's garret. We
badtru d the gat rets of other boys' mothers; but
I had se ldom en ccceiitd in pcrlorniiru more than
once iii eitcu iiluce. Either we made "too much
noise hiloui-ther, bo,-' and disturbed the house
Jiold bcnt'titli, or it was found that the stair
carpets were too rapidly wearing out uudortue
constant tread ot the dramatic corns in eoinir
f ud aud down at rehearsals: or else the smell of
M the painted .-ceuerv: or the too great absorption
I t th chairs an, I sofas trom bedrooms and par-
I iuib wi luiuibu seats iui me auiiic'ure: tuese, or
kindred objections, drove us about from house
to house without rest lor the sole of our buskins.
At last that model of all patience and forhear
ance, Wilkms mother, permitted something like
a permoncnt establishment of the drama in her
third-story attic.
I think we had fcome dozen performances, and
emibrutly successful they were too. I remem
ber that the I'crty Thieves had a decided run ot
three successive Baturduy afternoons. It was an
exceedingly gorgeous ali'a'r. Charley Muoson
(denominated in the play-bill? "Sienor PiMlettl")
palnt"d the scenery, and Wilkins' sister (devo
jninated Htmora Festooni) made the costumes
as well as the stage curtain. The robbers' cave
was pronounced to be the most remarkable imi
tation ot nature on the modern staee. As we had
but eight i rlnrmers in nil, and could only spare
four of them for thieves, the entrance ol the
'lortj" Into the enchanted cave was accom
plished by reduplication; that is, as soon as one
got Into the cave and out of sieht, he would
stealthily creep round beh'nd the scenes, and
appear at.ain beioie the audience, repeating the
perioral ance until the macic number was accom
pi shed.
h JJctoic "the seison" was over which, by-the-way,
was prematurely brought to a close by a
eerlous cuhtrelempswe had ascended from
melodrama to the wa-ks of tragedy. Othello, if
it had not been lor a white smutch occurring on
the note of the jealous Moor while in the act of
amotherina "Desdemona" (ami which created n
g titter and cries of "Black your nose, Hopkins !"
I from the audience), was a great success. So
I was Macbeth, only we had no trap-door for the
1 benefit of the Ghosts, and "Banquo" was obliged
to conceal himself beneath the "banquet table,"
Which, unfortunately, he upset 1q rising there-
xroro, causing ihree ot wumns' motner s Bohe
mian tiuper-bowls, which served as royal gob
lets.and her favorire cut-glass fruit dish, to come
to an untimely end. Appalled at the mischief
done, the actors "stood not upon the order of
their goinc, but went at once," and in this way
the "Star Theatre" set, to rise no more.
From imitation to the real thing is a natural
tomequeuee in the experience of man. As
school -boy days gave place to the more inde
pendent and adventurous periods of the college
and the law-office, the theatre itself became the
tempting place ot resort whenever my pocket
money and a spare evening permitted the indul
gence. From the "front ot the house" curiosity
coon led me to desire to penetrate the mysteries
cf the f tape; and how to get behind the scenes
during a performance was tor a lonir period the
subject of the mo6t anxious investigation. I
knew that no "outsiders" had a right there, and
also that a stern-faced man sat inghtly at the
stage-door in the rearof the theatre, scrutinizing
the face of every one that entered. Besides this,
I had seen, as I stood iu the dark alley leading
thereto, a notice conspicuously posted over the
door, which stated in unmistakable terms that
there as ".No admittance except for persons
havinsi business with the Manager." This, how
ever, euve me the necessary hint. Could I not
make some "business with the manager?"
Da.vs of thought, I remember, were pi ven to
this subject wbioh should have been diree'ed
exclusively to the copying of legal documents
In the office of my employer, Thomas Trust,
Esq., Counselor, etc., No. 3 Court Square.
The result of my cogitations was a resolve, and
the result of the resolve a practical success.
One night 1 advanced boldly up the alley lead
ing to the stage door, as if on business bent,
and without a shade of expectant curiosity in
my appearance. There sat the Arzus-eyed
portei. but I pretended not to see him as I
walked rapidly past with a legal-looking bundle
of papers, tied with red tape. In my hand. I
had scarcely got three steps, however, into the
mystery ot mysteries before 1 was brought to
with a
"Halloo, there 1 who do you want?"
"Mr. B , the manager. Is he on the
Btatre?"
"Well, yes, he's on the stage; but he can't see
nobody now, 'cause the play's goln' on. You'll
have to cull to-morrow rnnrrlnsr."
"All right !" 1 sairt ; "1 11 call to morrow morn
ing. Let's see what time's rehearsal?"
"Ten o'clock; you'll be sure to see him then."
So oil" I went. One point had been gained;
the poller knew my face knew I bad business
with toe manaeer, and I had actual permission
to go on the stage. Next day, promptly at ten,
I was there. With a familiar nod and a "good
morning" I pasbed the Cerberus ot the stage
door, and in a moment after stood in the
"wings" upon the actual stage of a veritable
theatre.
Ah, what disenchantment that stage by day
light! Gloom everywhere; a height of gloom
above, a depth of gloom behind, a
-vast semi-circle of gloom In the direc
tion of the boxes. I found myself stand
like a pigmy between towering sheets ot daubed
canvas stretched upon frames, like gigtntio
scaffolds, and smelling atrociously of paint and
oil. With the scenery drawn closely back into
the "wings," the stage spread its tremendous
proportions, and made the one little solitary
table by the foot-lights, and the mauager sitting
by it, most insignificant, A few seedy-looking
eentlemen with their bats on were standing
libtlestdy about, and thiee or four women in
woollen shawls and plain bonnets, made up the
group on th stage. Apparently they were re
ceiving their parts as given out by the manager,
and discussing some changes to be adopted
in the play before the rehearsal commenced.
Where, thought I, where has the glory
ol the last night fled to? What has be
come of the "rustic mill and waterfall" the
gigantic and purple-tinted mountains with the
wonderful aerial perspective which enchanted
the eye? W'bere is the "(Jrand Hall" ot the
Palace with its vista of colored column, its gor-

I short skirts and ribbons the courtiers with

I dulcet voices? Fled, fled like a fairy scone that

Yet around me were all the elements which
made up the gorguousness of the last night's
spectacle. The tall, drear, dauby stretch of
heide which I stood did not appear to
iiave a distinguishable form or line of grace

Inexpresslbl , sweet voice addressed iu'.:
"Plea e, sir, are you the mar agcr?'1
It wan a neatly dressed and most n'traet'vo
young woman. She had jmt come in, aud was
evidently a novice m the place. I was on tne
poliit ot directing iicr to w hero the manager sit,
when a thouuht occurred to me "I'll make
capital outof ihis; release myself iroin the avvk
watd po-ition in which 1 nm ( laced, and ecure

"Well, no, Miwj," 1 answered, "I'm not the

'I called, sir, in con-cqueuco of the adver
tisement of ballet-girls for the new spectacle,
and would like to make in ent:agiiieni if 1
Min. 1 can do very well In third parts, I tDink."
'Let me see," siH I, with unblushing assu
rance, but with a feeling ot genuine interest in
the modest young creature, "what name shall I
present .you by, a;id where is your resiJeuco, In
case of future reierence?"
"Maiy Steele, No. 10 Hweetbrler lane. My
mother takes in lino sewing, and I have two
little brothers to s ipport. 1 need an engage
ment badly, sir; I hope you're not full."
'You spoke ot your mother. What does your

"I have no lather, sir: ho died two years

Ah! thought I; quite an interest'ng case for
joung benev lencc. No 'at her I of course she
needs a protector. She should need one no
longer; ye, I would tafce peroual supervision
ol thi rose-bud ot Sweetniier lane. Teilin?
Maiy to call mo "Mr. Tomlinson," I advanced
with her to tho manager's tabic aud introduced
her as a young lady particularly accomplished
and exceedingly exemplary; hoped tho mana
ger would be able to oiler liberal terms, and
represented the case in every possible combina
tion ot favorable lights. Mary got an appoint
ment lor i he next day at rehearsal to exhibit
her Terpsichorean qualifications, and of course
"Mr. Tom'inson" was present ou the occasion
to watch the progiess of hisprorfre. The re
sult was a permincnt aud very satisfactory en
gagement ol Mary Steele, who appeared In the
pla-bills as'Madeiuoiselle Stephano;" and
the voung lady looked u;io i me thenceforward
as her euardian iriend and patron. Iu her
private lite she was mo t exemplary, and a
lew years afterward she married very re
spectably. By this impromntu acquaintance I was able
at any time to get bchiud the scenes, and indulge
my curiosity in all that pertaius to that life
which is so 1st' le known in its private relations
by the outside wmtd. For maey years after
Mary Steele s connection with the theatre ceased,
I indulged the occasional habit of "dropping in"
at the stage door, aud, quietly ensconced be
tween the si l 8gcu"h, would watch the mimic
battle of life apart from its erlittcriug delusions.
In this way I saw m ich of b'orrest, Charles
Kean, the eldpr VandeuhotF, Macroudy, Miss
Cushman, Celeste, in the popular days of the
Jrrench py; Faunv Ellsler, Mrs. Wood, the vo
calist, so lamous in Somnambula, and stars of
tester magnitude.
1 remember that Forrest, when be p'ayed
"Damon," had a small table and mirror placed
in "the winds'' to aasist him in his "make-up"
without losing time in going to his dressing
roon . In the scene where "Damon" rushes vio
lently upon the staue, just in time to reaoh and
save his "Pythias," it i6 necessary to impart to
his face the appearance of great heat and physi
cal excitement. Forrest stoud at his Imle table
aud mirror rubbing smutches of bl ick un ler
his eyes and daubs ot red powder over his fore
head and cheeks, at the same time stamping his
feet violently upon the floor, aud uttering the
exclamatious supposed to bo tho.-eot Liu noa
"advancing rapidly trom a distance;" tiien,
raising the voice to a hiuher and nioro distinct
utterance, he would dr p tho po Adcr and tho
hare's loot upon ihe table and rush upon tus
stas;e with hall-broken ejaculations, aDd fall
into the arms ol Pythias. To stand where I
did behind the scene and bear the buist of
applause from the audience iu Iron', was a
combination ol ludicrous absurdity difficult
to describe to those who have not been simi
larly placed.
VandenhofT, the elder, made a deeper impres
sion on my mind as an a at or of leuling than
any of his distinguished contemporaries. He
was very refined and eminently courteous; a
fentlcman by nature, a tragedian by intuitive
mpulse. I followed his every moment with a
species of veneration. He seemed the "noble
Koman" as much at rehearsals as when he trod
the stage iu bis white lloing toga. I confess
that it somewhat diminished the majesty of the
scene to hear bun beiore "going on" give his in
structions to the supernumeraries who repre
sented the Koman populace; yell never failed to
notice with what kindness of manner he addressed
these useful auxiliaries. It tdruck me as very
ludicrous to hear him one night, previous to
his entrance as "Brutus" iu the conspiracy scene
ot Julius Cwsar, direct tau man in shtrt-sleeves,
who was to manage the lightning (by blowing
lighted rosin through a tube), when to emit the
"wnizzing exhalations." "When I say to
'Lucius,' Look in the calendar and bring me word,
then give us a flash, and when 1 say" repeatitig
another passage "'toen gi ve us a flash." When
in the last scene "Brutus" kills himself upon his
sword, how gracefully and effectively did Van
denhotf accomplish the act, coverlug his face
with his toga as he fell. After the greeu car
tain bad descended I remember being impressed
with the courteousness ot the scene as several
actors simultaneously stepped forward and
lifted thetiagedian from his pros ti ate position,
which attention be acknowledged with a quiet
"Thank you, gentlemen." and "Good-night all,"
as he proceeded to his dressing-room.
Macready was another of the refined gentle
men ot the stage, whose interpretation of Shake
speare evinced the most patient and scholarly
research. To hear him read the great dramatist
was, however, far more satisfactory to me than
to see him on the boards. As an actor be was
mechanical and studied. It Is said that he mea
sured his distances and counted his step i. and
consequently never made the slightest variation
in his stage walk ana positions. This 1 hold to
be Incompatible with genuine inspiration,which,
vary inn, of course, with circumstances and with
the physical condition of the periormer at differ
ent times, must lead to occasional variety of at
titude and style. In rpr.vate conversation Ma
cready carried with him the samo rigidity of
manner aud studied delivery of his. words. Be
hind the scenes he was very taciturn, cold, and
reserved, s; eaklngjonly upon the business of the
stage. He was a rigid dliclplma lio, and would
be severely impatient at any shortcomings on
the part ol others, or if anything went wrong In
the stage performance. On these accounts he
was far from being popular among his folio w
actors, and 1 have heard the severest language
employed against him by those who supported
him on the stage.
One ot the most memorable evenings In my
experiences at the theatre, was that on which
Fanny tllsler made her first appearance before
an American' audience.' 'Tho homo wn. of

S v 1 1 hide. The pale, beautiful face, the s iritu

lin.ls, the poetry of ever? motion, sent a thrill
to (itch heart, and for a moment or two utterly

'Why, Fanny Llhlcr, of course," was the
reply.
So far as my experience went, I never ob
served a look, word, or action behind the
scunfl in keeping with the character repre
sented before the lbot-Iiuhts. The moment the
nctor made his "exit" he unbent, assumed
his natural action and style of conversation

Occasionally some one behind-hand In tits
part would keep the play-book constantly
m hand, ptiring over the text aud committing
it to memory, then suddenly fling it from him
between the sccres and "go on" in his charac
ter. I tound it very often the case that not a
word hud been ttudied until the performer had
dusFcd or bi part and descended to thestace
thin the text would be committed for the firs
scene only, and so on as tho play progressed
Very many seemed to depend almost entirely
HI on the "prompter," and 1 have beard the
latter often Give the performer on the stage
word lor word throueh the entire play without
the lact traiisrirmg to the audience.
If the instructions enunciated from the
wings, and the private remarks between tho
actors on the stage, could be interpolated with
the text of the play-book, the reading would be
most curious and amusinc; as, for example:
ilnmlet. Can you piay upon this flute? Lot it

And that will do also as a feeble illustration:
but the subject might be elaborated to a nio?t
amusing extent.
teem s iu the "ureen-itoom" or the theatre
have been frequently described, and are
iuinlliur to most readers. Nothing can be more
absurd than the collections of costumed men
anil women which I have seen there during the
pcrlormauce of a play. Kings and bishops
eoquettiug with soubrettes and ballet-girls; the
tunny man ot too tarre uuaiui, wnu u ou iu
hisees. on his domestic miseries: and ghosts
regaling their mortal appetites with spiritual
appliances. Then the witticisms, the compli
ments, tne Joe juuiiirisms, ana toe titterings oi
those who see the joke, mingling with the
grumblings of others who are ever finding fajlt
with the manager or the play, or picking flaws
in (he character of that nevcr-popuKr indi
vidual behind the scenes hpwever popular be
may be beiore tnem tne "star" oi tne evening.
Let me conclude these fragmentary reminis
cences by paying a slight tribute to that im
portant class ot tne community, tne actors, in
an experience of years, during which I have
been a not infrequent witness of the per
formances behind the scenes of the theatre, I
Lave never witnessed an immoral acb or a
vulgar proceeding. The restraints of the stage
naturally produce relaxation oi nnua and Doay
in the green-room, but I have seldom had even
mv tastes ollended. and the exceptional in
stances have been equally condemned by tho?e
who witnessed them. Asa general rule, great
courtesy and kindliness of disposition char
acterize the personal intercourse of those whose
business it is to play meir mimic parts lor our
amusement.
The actor Is by forco of chcumstauces a
patient and enduring man, and by association
and sympathy he is naturally liberal in bis
views, and ger.eroes in bis dealings with others.
To enable a man to act even creditably be must
possess an intelligent appreciation of his author,
and a more than general comprehension of the
relations or social lite. Hence it is that the
cultivated and well-bred comedian is a very
desirable acquaintance for the man of letters or
the student ot society.
In the selection of any associates discrimina
tion is of course a necessity, and this is impera
tive in the case beiore us, tor tne stage nas tts
lower as well as its upper strata of morality
and intelligence. But by society at large the
condition oi the actor as a man of value in tho
community is immensely underrated, and the
inoial delinquencies ot the staee prodigiously
exaggerated. In my opinion the vicious ele
ment in tne tneaire is propomonaoiy much
lees behind than before the curtain, and the
moral influence of the stage (a subject fre
quently discussed) is as valuable to the
uudiences which collect there as is the church
to the congregations which gather there. The
pulpit preaches to professed Christians, while
sinners those who most need the examples
of vice and virtue to be illustrated for their
benefit are seldom drawn to the house of wor
ship. As a rule, the dramas which best suc
ceed are those which in the most graphic style
depict the fall of evil and the triumph of
good. Ibe paint and the dazzle, tho mock
jew elry and the mimic movements, havenothing
of evil in them, since they are known to be
deceptive, and but external appliances where
with to illustrate the sentiment and the moral.
Compared to olden days, the stage is free from
looseness and profanity, and the audiences from
proximity to barefaced vice. The taste lor
theatrical representations is inherent and per
manent in all communities, and therefore he
who denounces the stage, or keeps away from
the theatre simply because It bears that title, is
eminently absurd and wrong. The purification
ot the stage rests with the public, its supporters,
and it can be made a temple worthy of honest
and earnest support, if a mistaken sentiment
shall not check its possibla influence for good
by denouncing it as an irreparable source of all
that is evil. Harper's Magazine for December,
Charles Upham has in press a "IHstorv of
fSalem Witchcraft,1' in two volumes. It will be
an elaborate historical treatise on the subject.
