From the N. Y. Jlciald. Although it may seem a contradiction In. teriDB, yet it is nevertheless true that the thirjgs most familiar are generally the things least known, and that wherever a general acquaintance with a subject exists, there is to l,e found hut little reliable or accurate know ledge. These remarks are especially appli cable to that portion of our population who are engaged directly or indirectly iu theatrical pursuits. Actors and actresses are in every body's mouth and in everybody's eyes; and yet not one in fifty really understands their life, their business, their pecuniary or nume rical status, and the various points in refer ence to tlit-in or their occupation w hich would cccur to a thoughtful mind. URADKS. One star diffcreth from another star in glory, and the theatrical population of the metropolis computes seven ranks or grades (of which, however, only four are profebbionally regarded as strictly theatrical). The operatic artists, as receiving the highest compensations aud catering for the most fashionable portion of onr citizens, occupy the first rank. Then come the pi rfoi intra at the Broad way theatres; then those at the theatres on the east side of town; then the minstrels aud miscellaneous performers; next the circus performers; sixth, the corps bulkt ; and, lastly, we have the numerous scenic artists, carpenters, musicians, and other non-performing attaches of the vari ous theatres. These grades are not always definitely" defined. Still they possess, to a greater or less degree, a real existence. The operatic artiits and their humbler companions in the minstrel walks of life, as well as the circus troupes, are included in this enumera tion more for the sake of completeness than exactness, for, as they are not technically con eidered "theatrical," they do not require to toe particularly noticed at present, but must make tooiu lor a more detailed description of the remaining grades. - TECHNICAL DIVIBIOXS WIIAT IT TAKES TO OUOA JilZE A THEATRICAL COMPANY. Few people outside of the profession have any idea of the minute yet definite degree to which division and sub-division are carried among the members of a theatrical company. A glance at the organization of a Broadway establishment will enable our readers to com prehend this point. The manager, proprietor, r lessee is generally the iigure-head, who re ceives the profits or LearS the losses; but the power behind the throne, wuo dje8 the re sponsible work, is known as the ImsiWa" manager. This gentleman makes the engage ments, attends to the finances, directs" the printing and newspaper work, dines and wines the Bohemians when he thinks it worth while, writes the play-bills, controls the salaries, Bet ties all disputes, and sometimes even casts the pieces, though this latter function generally vJ?.lve3.9. tlie 6tae manage, who also iciius and directs rehearsals, notices of which are always posted on an appropriate bulle tin behind the scenes. The chief mem luer of the acting Block company is known as leading man; next in status is the first old man; then ranks the first comedy; then comes the escentric, who enacts such parts as "Dazzle," in London A ssurance; then follows the first heavy man or villain; while after thin unfortunate individual, who is obliged to sin nightly for a trifling compensation, come in their order the first walking gentleman, the Second old man, the second comedy, the Second walking gentleman, and those two minor specimens of useful industry called the general utility and utility. Having disposed of the males, thevfemale artists next demand attention. In this department we find first a leading lady; then a first old woman; then ranks the suubrttte, the most saucy and piquant ofj rohs; then come the second old woman, the first and second walking ladies, and the second soubrettes, while the list is cpmpleted by the wo men of "utility." Inthethirddivisionareplaced the scantily-draped, light, and airy corps de lalht and "the noble army of martyrs," thea trically speaking, known as the supers, called in Bowery parlance "supes." Next come the "attaches," or non-performing members, em bracing the prompters; the, call-boy, the scenic artist, the paint grinder, master carpenter, second liana, the "Hat" men, "wing" men, and "fly" men (so called from their respective posts), the property man, who makes and has charge of the accoutrements, the property boy, the stage cleaners, the gas man, the stage door man (the Cerberus who guards the hallowed entrance to the stage, and who is nightly beset lby applications for admission from the gay youths of the metropolis), the night watch man, the day watchman, and tbe costumer, dresser and assistants, who guard the "ward robes." But the list is not yet complete. The or chestra must not be forgotten, with its leader, its repetiteur or second leader, and its musi 4 tians. Nor must the front of the house be overlooked, with its treasurer, box book keeper, doorkeepers, ushers, and officers. Then come the bill-posters, et id omne genus, while the long catalogue is ended by a copy ist, sometimes by a dramatist, specially en gaged for a certain theatre, and not unfre quently by a puff-writer attached to the esta blishment, who " influences" the " press" through the media of its "independent" 'critics." This enumeration will teach the uninitiated that it requires both men and money to con duct a metropolitan theatre. HOW AS ACTOR WORKS. It ia a homely but true saying, "what is one man's meat is another man's poison;" and what is amunement to the audience is work to the actors. The public associates theatrical people w ith pUanant hours of recreation, or it occasionally catches a glimpse of them "off duty" in their convivial moments; but the same great public does not trouble itself to think that as a rule labor is the atmosphere of a theatrical life; yet such is the simple fact. The comparative ease and luxury enjoyed by a star performer have been iu nine cases out of ten purchased by the bitter struggles of long and obscure years, while the average lot of the stock performer is as follows: He attends rehearsals from 10 o'clock till I!, then goes to his humble chamber, arranges his dress, procures whatever may be essential, and studies; reaches the theatre at 7 in the evening, diarrhea, robes himself in his stage costume, paints, etc., in small, crowded rooms; goes through his part, then undergoes another series of undressing and dressing, and at last wends his way homeward with the pressing necessity for the study of his next role weighing upon him. A "leading man's" average "study" for a part cousins of four teen "lengths," so-called of forty-two lines each five hundred and eighty-eigbt lines, or about fifteen nverago book pages in all. The Bowery actors are the most severely worked, as the Dieeea are constantly changed; but, ou tlie idher kaud, the saiut absolute correctnea THE DAILV jjVl3NIlQ' TELEGRAriIrHILADELriliA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 18C7. of text is not demand rom them an from ft Broadway performer. ' A piny, 01 Broadway; ard then, indeed, is the winter of the actor's diueontent made glorious Bum mer. MODI'S OPERANDI OF FTCDY AND nEHKAn8AL8. The various steps in the production of anew piny are: First, the reading of the manu scripts by tho stage manager; second, a read ing of the rlay, when accepted, to the com pany selected, and a casting of the piece, i. c, tlie appointment of the different parts to the different menders often a matter involving considerable delicacy, acumen, and tact; then follow various rehearsals, often eight, nine, or ten, superintended by the star, or stage manager, and finally a las-t grand rehearsal, to which the critics are often invited as a body. Attendance on there rehearsals is obligatory on the actors, a lino being imposed for non attendance. The earlier rehearsals aro conducted in every day costume, w ith the part simply read. But the final rehearsal is in stage dress, and without parts or books. The services of the copyist meanwhile are called into requisition, and each pel former has his or her separate pait fully written out, with the "cues" at tached; each "cue" consisting of the four last words of the preceding speech. It would at first be considered au easy task to merely commit to memory the emanation of the brains of others. But it is really more difficult to study fii baim l literatim a page written by another th.-m to write a page of original matter as our readers can satisfy themselves, if they so choose, by experiment. WHAT AN ACTOR MUST KNOW. But in addition to his daily aud nightly labors, the actor must possess what ia even more than the capacity for work education. There was an old Haying "Only a genius or a fool can be an actor;" but certainly, what ever may bo the fate of a genius on the stage in 1S07, there is no chance whatever for a fool. To be successful the actor must not only be smart, but learned. He must understand thoroughly what very few do understand at all, his native language; he must be a skilled elocutionist;( a close, exact Shakespearian scholar; verged in belles-lettres; conversant alike with the classics and the French; au fait in the general details of history, with an eye to the proper knowledge of costuming; familiar with all the technicalities of the stage a familiarity which can only be obtained by a practical ex perience; a graceful fencer; an equally graceful dancer, a tolerable musician (in many cases) possessed of a ' sound physical organization, and accomplished in the arts of the toilet and of dress. If he be and have all this, then, with natural gifts and a plentiful degree of patience, he may at last obtain a high position in his profession. The same remarks apply to actresses, with but little differences, which will at once suggest themselves. Assuredly, the' ramario is neither a despicable nor a dilletanti career'. LIFE BUHIND THE BCENE3. This branch of our theme has been so b'V written that there is scarcely need for words. There seems to be a fascination about exist ence on the other side of the footlights, a desire on ino part of the pul.lio to witness it, which, to those familiar with it, is unaccountable; for, really, there is no charm about it. "Behind the (scenes" is a very dull place indeed. All the illusion vanishes, all the maguiuoout tableaux and wonderful stage effects become very tame and very simple. The dresses lose their snlendor and the diamonds their lustre; and the Kings, queens, villains, nerue-, ani heroines are found to be ordinary people, hard at work. The "stars" have their own dressing-room; but the stock company have rooms in common while the apartments for the use of the supers and ballet girla are of the most primitive description. The rooms for the males and females are, of course, indifferent portions of the theatre; but, as a rule, "behind the scenes" is "common ground" to all; though certain employes occupy certain pets, aud the leading actors congregate during, the "waits" in the "green room." T1IE COMPENSATION OF ACTOKS FULL AND COM PLETE LISTS OF THE AVERAGE SALARIES OF THEATRICAL PERF0KMER8. There is this peculiarity in the pecuniary rewarda of theatrical people the successful stars receive a compensation oftentimes far in excess f their industry or talent, while the hard-working members of the profession are in proportion underpaid. As a rule membera of the stock company are more adequately re warded than where the star system prevails, because in the latter case the star absorbs the major portion of the receipts, and a lower grade of talent among the stock ia permitted. Asa rule, also, performers on Broadway receive higher salaries than those on the Bowery. Eacn tueatre has us own scale of salaries, but the subjoined table, compiled from reliable sources, witu great care, exhibits the average compensations of professionals of all clasaes in mis city at the present time. ljusiness managers receive a salary and a percentage of profits, amounting in all to $5000 per annum ana upwaras. Stage managers re ceive from 50 to $75 per week; the leading man from $50 to $100 per week. The first old man rejoices his aged heart with from $50 to $75 weekly, the first comedy laughs for a similar compensation; the eccentric receives weekly from $30 to $50; the first heavy man or villain, stains his soul for $40, $50, or $t0; the first walking gentleman receives from $25 to $35; the second old man from $20 to $30; the second comedy from $18 to $25; the second walking gentleman from $15 to $20; the male utilities from $12 to $15. The leading lady and the first old woman receive about the same compensation a3 their male equivalents; the soubrette earu3 from $30 to $50 weekly; the second soubrette is entitled to about half that sum; the walking ladies re ceive from $18 to $35, while the balance of the actresses are made happy ou smaller amounts. The ballet girls exhibit such charms as they may possess for $S or $10 per six nights; while the niiignificeut supers throw themselves away lor thirty-seven cents a performance. The prompter receives weekly from $20 to $25; the call boy from $0' to $8; the scenic artists, according to ability, from $25fper week to $5010 per annum; tlie master carpenter is entitled to iibout $oO weekly; the property man tq about $25; the oostuuier's compensa tion varies from $25 to $J0 weekly; the trea surer's fioin !r20 to ;, ijii; the leader of the or chestra's from $35 to $50; the second leaders from $20 to $25; tho musicians reoeive$17 per week; and the doorkeepers generally $1 per night. Koine t beat res, as the Broadway, pay their doorkeepers higher rates, and the number of "free admissions" is found to be wonderfully lessen. M in consequence. im'i'nsks, vwunuonKS, F.ro. Tho wardrobe of an actor is a heavy tax upon his purse. Si .rs, of. course, furnish their own wardrobes, but those of a stock company are gen, rally supplied by the theatre. Kveiy member, however, is obliged to find hi.! own "properties," as thev are called, such as bwokN, wigs, buckles, shoes, feathers, stockings, t'ghta, cloves, etc Thexn items oftentimes involve a very considerable outtof . Members or companies are also ex pec-ted to supply themselves with all copies of printed plays. As a general rule actors, and especially actresses, are desirous of pos sessing their own wardrobes, and will make great pacrifiees to this end. The women especially sometimes sacrifice too much. NCMBEKS AND IHSTRIMITION NOVEL STATISTICS. It is exceedingly difficult to obtain any even approximate numerical data relative to such a constantly shifting and decidedly uiiarithmeti cal portion of our citizens as the theatrical population. But the subjoined estimates have been carefully compiled, and will be lonnd in the main correct. An average me tropolitan theatre employs, directly and in directly, about one hundred and twenty-five persons. As there are now nine theatres in full blast (the "Winter Harden and the New Bowery having been destroyed), the total number of employes will reach 1125. This is exclusive of the Academy of Music, which employs about about two hundred and fifty people; also exclusive of the minstrel halls, each of which furnishes work for about forty people, the concert saloons, etc. Mblo'a em ploys about the same number of people as the Academy, while the New York Theatre and the new burlefqne theatre employ, of course, less than the average number. Altogether, the number of theatrical people, using the term in the fullest sense, in the metropolis, will exceed two thousand. OOPSIP AnoUT RICH ACTORS AND ACTRESSES. Although tho stock performer "enjoys" a plentiful supply of labor, and "felicitates" himself or herself on a corresponding defi ciency of funds, yet the successful "stars" shine surrounded with all the brilliancy of wealth and luxury. And the majority of this luxury and wealth has been derived from New York, or from the prestige which the ap proval of New Yerk affords throughout the provinces. Mr. Barney Williams, who com menced life as a printer's devil in this city, is now worth $400,000, invested chiefly in real estate. He resides in elegant style on Thirty eighth street, near Murray Hill, boasts a pic ture gallery and a collection of imported statu ary, keeps five carriages and any number of horses, sports servants in livery, and owns a superb country residence near Bath. Edwin Forrest is worth at least $500,000, owns a magnificent residence corner of Broad and Master streets, Philadelphia, a summer residence near Chestnut Hill, and ia the pos sessor of several valuable paintings, and, above all, delights in the ownership of perhaps the finest iShakesperian library in the country a library, too, carefully and daily studied by the great tragedian, who, despite hia eminence, does not regard himself above the necessity of improvement. "Solon Shingle" Owens, with his $300,000 (the major portion of which he made in this city), haa purchased a beautiful place near Baltimore. "Brother Sam" Chan frau rejoices in the neat sum of $100,000; Edwin Booth owns about the same sum, and ia perhaps entitled justly to more; "Rip Van Win kle" Jefferson, now delighting us, ia estimated pecuniarly at the same figure; Florence main tains his "caste" in society on about the same amount; while William Wheatley and Lester Wallack are in comfortable circumstances. AC'ressgS; as a clasa, have not been so pecu niarily fortunate as tfleir male rivals. Still, Charlotte Cushmn has earned professionally at least a quarter of a pillion, while Mrs. D. 1'. Bowers, Miss Lucille Wesiern, and others of note, liavo acquired a competence and noma, thing beyond. Miss Maggi Mitchell, iu every sense of the word a New York favorite, has also accumulated a handsome residence and a hundred thousand. dollars. So, after all. a theatrical life lias its rosea for tlios-i w"ho have tho talent and pluck toseek au,i the luck to find them. Mr. ForreBl r&ceives $.100 per night for his performances; Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams demand a similar sum; others receive' smaller amounts, or a percentage of the nightly receipts; others occasionally control the re ceipts themselves; but whatever be the con tract or arrangement, there is "money in it," as the lacts just stated show. HAl'NTS AND nAHITS AGENCIES AND AOENTS. The New York actor has his favorite haunts, and these are generally of a convivial charac ter; for the actor ia emphatically a social ani mal. The House of Lords and the De Soto, on the Central cross street near Broadway, are noted resorts, and the bar-room of the Metro politan Hotel has become the "Actors' Ex change. ' At thi3 latter haunt, about noon, may be seen nearly all the leading male pro fessional in the metropolis; the entrances of theatres and Broadway in general are also favorite spota for theatrical reunioua. Among the actors' resorts must also be in cluded those institutions known aa dramatio agencies. These agencies are designed to facilitate business intercourse between actors and managers, and are often useful, though in certain cases they have been found to be of "doubtful" character. There are now three principal agencies, one under tho control of two young actors, who have established branch houses abroad; another managed by a well-known professional, and the third more particularly designed for the members of circus companies and shows generally. The pecu liar clasa of men known aa "agents" in the theatrical parlance deserve in thia connection a few words. The 1 'agent' ' is generally the busi ness manager of the "star, " or else serves as his "man of all work." He makes engagements for his principal, controls the advertisements, endeavors to piocure notices, directs the ticket Bystem, oversees the printing and dis tribution of the posters, etc., represents hia principal at the treasury, counts the house nightly, "treats" the so-called "critics," often dictates their "high-toned" eriticisms, issues "pases," originates "the dodges," and does the (theatrical) "chores" generally. For these varied services he receives any where from $25 to $100 per week, or a per centage of the profits. Some of these agents, as those who act for Barney Williams, Edwin Forrest, Mr. Florence, John E. Owens, aud other well known names, are men of talent, character, and means; but not a few so-called "agents" are simply hungry Bohemians, who do an actor's dirty work for a paltry compen sation, and bring the profession and them selves into discredit. THE THEATRES OF NEW YORK GENERAL ESTIMATES. That tho theatres of the metropolis accom modate thousands of spectators; that thoy represent a heavy investment of capital, and that they weekly receive and weekly expend larce sunn of money, will be readily granted. But to illustrate these statements in figures is ho easy tafck. Nevertheless, to make this article complete, and to enable the reader to i' rm a livid and yet sufficiently correct idea of these points, we have prepared the follow iK approximate exhibit: "ihe leading places of metropolitan amuse ment will accommodate, when full, about "1 000 people. This estimate includes the opera house, the leading minstrel halls, the museums and the circus, as well as all the theatres. The capital directly Invested in i.ouh PKtabliHbmenta reaches nearly $2,000,000. About $130,000 can be earned weekly, sup ini the season to be an exceedingly pros- . ... Mm u.

This estimate muBt be taken cum grano salts, as. all general estimates in volving calculations of such magnitude must be. Still it will be found useful in affording some conception of the pecuniary status of theatricals iu our midst. CHARACTERS AND CHARACTERISTICS. The morale of the theatrical profession is not strictly a subject of newspaper discussion, being more in place in an essay than an article. It is simple justice to state, however, that although some actors are drunkards, and some actressts are even worse, yet the great body of the profession are men and women whose lives and whose morals will bear favorable comparison with any class in the community. It is the misfortune of theatrical people that being, as it were, in one sense of the term, "lights set upon a hill," they "cannot be hid," and their follies and indiscretions find ready talebearers, i et other men aud other women would be equally scandalized if they occupied the same position in the public eye. There was a time when actora and actresses deserved the major part of the censures hurled against them; but those days are over, lot U3 trust forever. FURS. 1867.
