DRAMATIC FEV1LLET0N. THE CREEK-ROOM AND ITS P0?LE. BT OLIVR LOOAN BB LISLE. You are fresh from Idleu," said Sir Charles PomaiioVr to the inuoofnt young wife of Krnest Vaiie, wliim she asked the meaning of that mysterious term, the groen-room. "The green-room, my dear madam, ia the bower where fairies put oir their wiugn, and god desses become dowdies; where 'Lady Macbeth' weeps over her lap-dog's indigestion, and 'Uol Tidera' groans over the amount of her last rnilliner'B bill. In a word, the green-room ia the plate wh re actors and actresses beeonio mere men and women, and the name is no doubt derived from the guneral character of Us unprofessional visitors." This was the Knglish green-room in the days of "I'eg Woflington." An American green-room, like everything elne American, Las peculiarities of its own; and 'Teg Wof fingtou's" salle d'u.ulicnrt differs as greatly from the green-room of Kdwin Booth, a3 the prim court of Victoria is in contrast with the profligate one of the Second Charles. The 'unprofessional visitor" .is a personage almost unknown in our native green-room, and for that reason that greatest of all charms Mm charm of mystery is thrown over the hallowed precinct where tho bloodthirsty "Lady Macbeth" becomes humau enough to weep over her lap-dog's indigestion, and'"lielvidera" pays by personal annoyance, if not in current coin, for her too reckless indulgence in milli ners' wares. That the name was derived from the habit of hanging this room with gretu, is obvious. The reason for the selection, of the color ia equally obvious, and one which is still strong enough to cause its being chosen by the upholsterer for the study of his wealthy patron, green being the softest tint with wliich the Btudent-eye is acquainted. Here, then, assemble the players to study, to laugh, to chat, to put the finishing touch to what was begun in the dressing-room, to condole with each other, to be merry, to bo Bad, to go through the thousand and one emotions which constitute life among players as among oom mon folk. The rallying cry which brings the actors together is a small slip of paper, techni cally known as a "call," distributed every morning on which a rehearsal is to take place, by an humble lunctionary who may Lave a cognomen of individuality, bnt who is never spoken of except as the "call-boy." He may be a call-man, but he is nejer so called. Like the garcon of the French restaurant, he retains his boyhood forever. On this paper or "call," the hour lor rehearsal, the piece to be rehearsed, and the part to be performed by the actor who receives it, are all clearly written out. Ten o'clock in the morning is the usual hour of rendezvous, and ten minutes' grace is given to allow for difference in time pieces; any one coming later than that is sub ject to a line. A set of rules, remarkable for their stringency, printed and framed, and hanging in grim silence in a glass case, is an inevitable ornament of every green-room. Another ornament, and one which, besides the immense looking-glass for general use, forms the only other decoration of the walls of the green-room, is a small, square, green lined, glass-covered box, called the "cast-case." Viewing the contents of this case, many a heart has beat high with ambitious throb, many a breast felt the bitter chill of disap pointment. From it the leading tragedian learns whether he is to play "Iago" or "Othel lo," "Hamlet," or the shadowy, murdered father of the melanoholy Dane. It tells the eaucy chambermaid that she may put oif cap and ribbons, and, by virtue of her singing powers, be permitted to don the conventional white muslin dress of the stage madwoman, crown her dishevelled hair with wisps of straw, and play " Ophelia.' I3ut how if the leading tragedian is "cast ' for some other part besides the "leading" one? What, after . the arrogation of the part of "Hamlet" by the predatory "star," is the lead ing part in Hamlet? The manager, per haps, leans towards the "ghost;" the "leading man" yearns to disport himself as "Laertes." Jlere, however, the "juvenile man" steps in, and strife begins. But authority conquers in the green-room as elsewhere. The cast-case issues a fiat against which there is no appeal. However, this does not prevent the uttering of appeals, nor the making of threats of in stant departure, of leaving the theatre with the name of the offended party in the bill for the night (a gross contravention of stage laws), and other terrors. But the manager generally holds firm. At Wallaok's Theatre, not long ago, the comedy of The Wonder was up in the cast case, and Mrs. Hoey was cast for "Donna Vio lante," the leading "female" part. The repre sentation of the piece was deferred, aud the benefit season came on. Another member of the company, Miss Fanny Morant, said she regretted not being able to choose The Wonder for her benefit, as "Donna Violante," of all comedy parts, was her favorite. In a pleasant spirit of camaraderie, Mrs. Hoey offered to relinquish her right of playing this part, allowing Miss Morant to play it lor her benefit. Mr. Wal lack was consulted, and agreed to the arrange ment. Some other obstacle occurred, how ever, preventing the representation of the piece for Miss Morant's benefit, and The Won der was temporarily set aside, only, after a short lapse of time, to be replaced with the name of Miss Henriques as "Donna Violante." Here was a blowl The leading lady could scarcely believe her eyes. Insolent cast-case 1 If it were possible to believe that the inani mate object had of itself planned and executed this dire affront, the lady would have be lieved it rather than suspect her long time friend, her on the-stage lover for ten years back, Manager Lester Wallack, of thus deposing her. Mrs. Hoey sought redress, but lound none. " You re linquished the part," Baid Mr. Wallack, with inimitably complaisant demeanor. "Yes," said the lady, "but only in favor of Miss Mo rant; and for one occasion her benefit. The part was mine by right. I am the leading lady." "That is indisputable," Mr. Wallack admitted graciously. "You are the leading lady; but you resigned the part, and, having resiened it. I am at liberty to give it to another." In vain Mrs. Iloey's remonstrances. Mr. Wallack was firm. "You will please ac cept the resignation which I now offer," said the leudiug lady at last, aud " As you please, madam," returned the manager. So frequent are disputes of this character that an effort is now being made to do away with the offensive cast-case altogether, by keeping the players iu ignorance of the cast until each is notified of the part he is re quired to play through the medium of the 'call." This innovation finds no favor with actors; for they are creatures of tradition, and such they will ever remain. Jt would be useless in the writer of this paper to ignore, however much she might wish to do bo, the social prejudice which exists against the body theatrical. How ill crounded, how much a matter of fashion is this prejudice, how many good and worthy Twople fiu'l themselves both misunderstood and unappreciated through its workings, per haps none but one who has dwelt in THE D AIL YKVKNING T ELKG K Aril ril I L the mimic world can deeply feel. Like injustice in nil its forms, tliis preju- dip.A Ir vatv lnr.iiaiatPiit! for. while the name of a poor "stock aotreua" is, rottia tipotiIm. almost a Hvnonym for with what is lax iu the eex, those of Itistorl and Char lotte CuRhroan (good and noble women in their way, and great artists without a doubt, but lu point of moral worth not one whit superior to nine-tenths of other women of the theatre) are by the same people lauded and sung almost ad nauseam. But who can account for the pre judices which are a matter of fashion f Formerly much of the odium which now falls on the actress found its object in the mil liner girls. To this day, both in London and l'aris, something of this opprobrium still clings to the pretty modiste. Women of severe principles, governed by popular prejudice, prefer any trade to that of bonnet-making. Absurd tyranny 1 In the School for Scan dal, it will be remembered, the lady who was hidden behind the screen in "Joseph Burface's" room is described by that hypocritical moralist as a "milliner," and the name is, of itself, sufficient to satisfy the good-natured "Sirl'oter" that the person's character is none of the best. But, as it hap pens, the "petticoat" which "Sir I'eter" "vowed lie saw" was "Lady Teazle" herself, and thus, as not unfrequently happens, the poor milliner who was not present shouldered the fault of the fine lady who was. It is rath. r extraordinary that in America, where we aie supposed to have no aristocracy, the art of turning up the nose at struggling merit has lenched a perfection elsewhere un known. M bile Money-Grub of Wall street would feel horrified if you were to propose brinnirig un actor to his house, we have only to refer to the chronicles of the different periods to find that Ben Jonson was dis tinguished by favors from James the First, King of Kngland and Defender of the Faith ; that another actor, one Shakespeare, was not despised by a queen of the same country and its dependencies, Eliza beth. The history of Oreat Britain is full of thiee intimacies between court and stage. More than one coroneted head in England at the present day has worn tht bauble-jewels of the "mobled queen." Charles Mathews, travelling through Italy cheek by jowl with Lord and Lady Blessingtou and Count d'Orsay, could scarcely have been made to leel that his social status was much beneath that of his titled companions; for, on investi gation, we find that the actor, the merry, laughing, "shoulder-slapping fellow," was the real lion of the party, distinguished as it was. Sydney Lady Morgan was extremely proud of her father and mother, both players, and of their profession. She herself acted in her early youth; but by the production of the Wild Irish Girl, when she gave evidence of that brilliant literary facility which entitles her to so prominent a place among English women of letters, we are led to believe that it would not be unjust to apply to her a criticism which a friend has passed on the writer of this article that the pen was mightier than the comedienne. Let me forestall that comment which wonders by ratio taking this article as a measuring stand-point how poor the comedienne must be, by frankly acknowledging that she is very poor indeed. In France, where actresses receive much censure, and deserve it, a distinction is still made in favor of the good. Those green-room satellites who are without reproach may also be entirely without fear. Rose Churi, a charming actress, whose early death all true lovers of the art must deplore, was welcome to any cir cle in Paris, however exclusive. Mademoi selle Delaporte, an ingenuous young creature connected with the Gymnase Theatre, is known and respected as a worthy and amiable girl. Mad He. Victoria, of the same theatre, received an ovation from the titled world of France on the night of her reappearance after her mar riage with an actor of the company. Belong ing, root and branch, to a theatrical family ; born, figuratively speaking, in the green room, l have not on that account been deemed unworthy to break bread at an imperial table, nor to take the hand of friendship extended by an English lordly dlri'ne. My reader may perhaps leel like reminding me that sucii players as Edwin Booth, Ristori, Lester Wal lack, Forrest, Eliza Logan, Fanny Kemble, and Charlotte (Jushman nave not telt social ostracism in thi3 country, and that their reception by the beau tnonde is a partial refutation of my strictures. But I scarcely recognize that this is the case. It appears that we are no longer permitted to use the old adapn. that "excentions Drove the rule:" nevertheless, when these solitary instances are strongly insisted upon, we can but leel that it would not be so much a matter of com ment for a few actors to be well received, if it were not altogether customary to taboo the majority. I am making myself now the mouth-piece of a class of people; its "shining lights," like the shining lights of other classes, require no cnampion. uut ine point is nere: it is not the good in whose favor distinctions are made in America, but the great. Flayers like those that I have mentioned are quietly segregated from the ranks in which they belong, and the hulk of the profession remains under the social ban. Northern Monthly and N. J. Magazine. "The Old Woman." Once Bhe was "Mother," aud it was "Mother, I'm hungry," "Mother, mend my jacket," "Mother, put up my dinner," and "Mother," with her loving hands, would spread the bread and butter and stow away the luncheon and sew on the great patch, her heart brimming with affection for the imperious little curly-pate that made her so many steps and nearly distracted her with his boisterous mirth. Now she is the "old woman;" but she did not think it would ever come to that. She looked on through the future years and Baw her boy to manhood grown; and he stood transfigured in the light of her own beautiful love. Never was there a more noble son than he honored of the world, and the staff of her declining years. Ay, he was her support even then, but she did not know it. Bhe never realized that it was her little boy that gave her strength for daily toil that his Blender form was all that upheld her over the brink of a dark despair. She only knew how she loved the child, and felt that amid the mists of age his love would bear her gently through its infirmities to the dark hall leading to the life beyond. But the Bon had forgotten the mother's tender ministrations now. Adrift from the moorings of home, he is cold, selfish, heart iest, and "Mother" has no sacred meaning to the prodigal. She is "the old woman," wrin kled, grey, lame, and bund. l'ity her, O grave, and dry those tara that roll down her furrowed cheeks ! Have com passion on her sensitive heart, and offer it thy quiet rest, that it may forget how much it longed to be "dear mother" to the boy it nourished through a careless childhood, but in return for all this wealth of tenderness has only given back reproach. The correspondence between Maximilian and the Emperor Napoleon has leached Ku oye, and will shortly be given to the world. EOoDLE'S AKO CROCKFORD'S CLUBS. Boodle's is chiefly frequented by country gentlemen, whose status has been thus satiri cally insinnated by a contemporary: "Every fir John belongs to Boodle's, as you may see, for when a waiter comes into the room and says to some aged student of the Morning He rald, 'Fir John, your servant has come,' every head is mechanically thrown up in answer to tho address." Captain Oronow relates that soiue gentlemen of both Whito's and Brookes' had on one occasion the honor to dine with the l'rince Regent. Compassionating the mem bers of these clubs for the monotony of their fars at dinner, his Royal Highness summoned his cook, Watier, on the spot to ask him if he would take a house and organize a dinner club. Watier assented, and hence the club which bore his name. Macao was played at Watier's to a ruinous extent, and "the club," according to Mr. Raikes, "did not endure for twelve years altogether; the pace was too quick to last; it died a natural death in 1819 from the paralyzed state of its members; the house was then taken by a set of blacklegs, who instituted a common bank for gam bling. To form an idea of the ruin produced by this short-lived establishment among men whom I have so intimately known, a cursory glance to the past suggests a melan choly bst, which only forms a part of its de plorable results. None of the dead reached the average age of man. One evening at the Macao table, when the play was very deep, Brummell, having lost a considerable stake, affected, in his farcical way, a very tragic air, and cried out, 'Waiter, bring me a flat candle stick and a pistol !' Upon which Bligh (a no torious madman, and oue of the members of Watier's), who was Bitting opposite to him, calmly produced two loaded pistols from his coat-pocket, which he placed on the table, aud said, 'Mr. Brummell, if you are really desirous to put a period to your existence, I am ex tremely happy to offer you the means, without troubling the waiter.' The effect upon those present may easily be imagined, at finding themselves in the company of a known madman who had loaded weapons about him." Crock ford'B Club, also noted for its devotion to play, was instituted in 1827, in the house No. 20, on 1 the west side of St. James street. Crockford had begun life with a fish-basket, and ended with the "most colossal fortune that was ever made by play. He began," according to the Edinburgh Review, "by taking Watier's old club-house, in partnership with a man named Taylor. They set up a hazard-bank, and won a great deal of money, but quarrelled and separated at the end of the first year. Taylor continued where he was, had a bad year, and failed. Crockford removed to St. James street, had a good year, and immediately set about building the magnificent club-house which bears his name. It rose like a creation of Aladdin's lamp, and the genu tnemselves could hardly have surpassed the beauty of the internal decoration, or furnished a more accom plished mattre d'hotel than Ude. To make the company as select as possible, the establishment was regularly organized as a club, and the elec tion of members vested in a committee. 'Crock ford's' became the rage, and the votaries of fashion, whether they liked play or not, hastened to enrol themselves. The Duke of Wellington was an original member, though (unlike Bliicher, who repeatedly lost every thing he had at play) the great eaptain was never known to play deep at any game but var or politics. Card-tables were regularly placed, and whist was played occasionally; but the aim, end, and final cause of the whole was the hazard-bank, at which the proprietor took his nightly stand, prepared for all comers. Le Wellington des .Toueurs lost 23,000 at a sit ting, beginning at twelve at night aud ending at seven the following evening. He and three other noblemen could not have lost less, sooner or later, than JtlOO.000 apiece. Others lost In proportion, or out of proportion, to their means: but we leave it to less occupied moralists and better calculators to say how many ruined families went to make Mr. Crock lord a millionaire, for a millionaire he was in the English eense of the term, after making the largest possible allowance lor bad debts."
