DRAMATIC SKETCIIES.-SO. 3.
The Property Man.
''In the meantime." said irood master Quince, "i
'Will draw up a Bill of Properties such as our play
wants.- And It Is doubtful If Master Qinr knew
when he made that little speech what a task he had
Derore aim. pgramut and Tuuhe, for a play of
iis icngtn, has a goodly srare of properties, and
aiasrer utimre must have had his hands fall.
The Property Man Is one of the, first grand essen
tials ot the theatre. The success of every piece, no
matter how slight, depends In a great measure on
him. Everything on the stage, except the scenery,
are properties. Tho word Is oftcnest applied to
small articles used by tho performers, but these are
a part only of the great mass of such material. Fur
Diture of every sort are properties. These large
pieces are termed "stage props" In opposition
to "hand props." The best "stage props"
parlor sets, etc. are sometimes very handsome
and are used very carefully. In modern society
pieces It Is quite the custom now to hire furniture of
a dealer for the run or a piece. Property men In the
country (as theatrical stands ousldo of the larger
towns are termed) are often sortly perplexed In this
respecl. They have In such cases nearly .always
to nire, ana it orten happens that furni
ture 'men are a narrow-minded set of heathens,
for whom the drama has no a3thetlc attractions
whatever. The strangest things have been done
under these circumstances. Tne curtain must go
up so much is sure; and that great
results can be accomplished nnder
the stress of a "must" more Important affairs than
things theatrical have proved. We heard of a sharp
fellow once who, being with a travelling company,
struck a town whose shopkeepers wer all of the
very stricter sort. He had to have a sofa and aome
other furnmre for a piece to be played, and he could
neither hire, borrow, buy, nor steal it. They would
rather chop it up, the owner said, than have
it go inside of a theatre. our man,
not discouraged however, set hU -wits
to work. He got another person to purchase the
required goods, and to have them sent with the bill
to a hotel, where they should be paid for on deliv
ery. The car driver was In the trick, and the furni
ture was swiftly driven to the theatre. It was only
required in the first piece, and by 9 o'clock it was
back in the owner's store (not a whit worse than an
hour and a half before, except that a few profane
stage-players had touched It), with the message
that it did not exactly suit the intended
purchaser. This clever trick was played In
Poughkeepsle, and the during wretch whi devised
It yet lives to boast of his exploit. Sometimes, how
ever, you can't have. The old song says,
'Potatoes they grow small," and then add?,
"So we eats 'cm tops and all," and
that la a rule that holds good of other things
than potatoes. The writer has seen that most ex
acting of plays, if properly penormed Adrienne
LewuvreurHtt with nothing better in the matter of
furniture than some old packing cases coverod with
colored muslin. But when the "Abbe" in tho piece
walked on In the s.mpie dignity or pantaloons,
and 1 nthe general dress of the present period, except
that his hair was dashed wlta Hour, and tied up in a
ribbon when that happened, one forgot the fur
niture. Bona-Me stage furniture Is easily distinguished
from the kind-thstpeople use in real life. In Us orna
mentation it Is especially rich and rare. The ldei in
manufacturing this species of goods is to avoid a
conilict with any given age or time, and In this It is
successful, for it la unlike anvthing that is or ever
has been. Wonder has oiten beea expressed con
cerning the makers of this rurniture. It is
the joint handiwork of tho Property Man
and the stage carpenter; and when It Is remem
bered hat oltener than not these worthies know as
much about cabinet-making as they do about the
economy of the steam englce, the wonder really
should be that the furniture Is as good as It Is. But
there is this peculiarity about a Properly Mai, that
there is nothing he cannot make after some fash i
Ion. In the A drienne case above mentioned the man
had not time, or he would have manufactured a set
or "Louis Quatorze" furniture calculated to make
that monarch turn In bis grave. There would have
been plenty or paint and Dutch metal upon it, and a
great many people would have thought It a deal
Uner than the real thing.
It is hard to say what class or work gives the Pro
perty Mas the most trouble. When a burlesque or
show piece is produced there is a quantity or special
preparation to be made, which at first sight would
be the most troublesome or his labors. Take such
a piece as the Xaaid Queen. All the masks, the
marine productions of every sort, are furnished by
the Property Man. or course they have to bo
made, for no chop In Christendom deals In such
wares. Such things are orten quite elegant In design,
and show the Property Man to be something or an
artist, Just as he is at other times carpenter, machi
nist, and chemist. To no man can the legend, "Jack
or all trades, and master or none," be applied with as
much propriety as to him.
We have left ourselves little room to speak of tho
"hand props." They are literally almost Infinite.
Whatever is used In life Is needed to show the
"very body of the age" upon the mimic scene.
The depository or these cheap wonders is
always on the prompt side, and as near the first
entrance as possible. It Is called the property-room,
and while in It the subject or our sketch owes no
allegiance, or at least pays none, to the stage mana
ger himself. There are other rooms for the storage
or larger articles, and such things as are not
continually in demand. Unless the Pro
perty Man la a person or great method,
the "props" are apt to become scattered all over the
theatre. There are such numbers or them, and
almost every fresh piece so adds to the numbers,
that nnless they are ruthlessly weeded out at short
intervals, they till every available corner or stage
room. Some property men are like certain house
keepersthey hate to destroy anything, thinking
that some time it may turn to be of use. In that
case the man keeps on filling np the
place until he can't find anything or can't
turn around. He then leaves In disgust,
and another official coming In has a grand house
cleaning. As regards "hand-props" our man has
a nightly list of articles, on what scene they are to
be used, and by whom. The call-boy furnishes these
articles to the proper parties, and collects them
afterwards and returns them to the property-room.
The rule Is that calls shall be made In the green
room, and that the boy shall hand the "props" re
quired to the individual at the time or calling him.
In fact, however, the actor prefers to personally
look up his props, so as to have a little more margin
of time than the call would give him. But green
room matters, although Important, scarcely belong
to the subject nnder consideration.
The Property Man has always beea la some sort
the black sheep of the theatrical flock. The ques
tion, has there ever been an honest property man T
has even been mooted. We find this appreciation
of his labors to result chiefly from the irregular
manner that the master of properties has 0 keeping
bis accounts. As a general thing, Indeed, he does not
keep any at all, or If he does It is by a system
of book-keeping so very double that no one
but himself can untie the knot. He is allowed
to purchase his small stores from a fund
furnished him by the theatre, and to obtain larger
articles on credit, bills of all to be rendered weekly,
after being vised by the stage manager, to the trea
surer. But the articles required are so numerous
and are In many cases of so trifling a character that
no one but himself can keep the run of them.
One of the most prized accomplishments of a stage
manager Is the ability to keep down
these bills. but the very sharpest of
those gentlemen is to a degree at the mercy
of the Property Man who understands his
business. A list a yard long is demurely handed to
the stage manager, with a request for hia signature.
How Is he to know if the articles have all been used,
or that they cost the prices aflixed? A finer point
still, how is be to know that they had not already
been stored away in the theatre? Bo, if the manager
should even check the items on, one alter the
other, demanding a full explanation of each, he
might be lUU very wide of tne mark. Experienced
THE DAZIiYEVENING
men know this, and do not attempt
to audit their property bills la that manner. Some
managers as a rpgular thing coolly dednct a csrtaln
per cent, of the total. This they say la for errors,
and tne property men are mostir too oolite to dls
sent. Managers generally, however, learn by expe
rience aoont what it costs to run the different orders
of play?. Spectacle and sensation drama cost most;
tragedy next, ant comedy Jeastfnowing the bill of
rare mey have at the time been giving ro the public,
they know what their Property Man's bill should be,
and if, judged by these rules, it be exorbitant, they
remonstrate with the logic of precedent. This will
not cover, however, the importantpolnt before men
tioned the accumulation of old stores that may
often be recharged as new. There Is a story In one of
Dumas' novels of a man travelling on horseback
with a girl seated before him on the beast, and
another behind him. He is met by a person who
asks it those yonDg women are virtuous. The man
on horseback says that he (hints the one In front,
being continually under his eye, is, but for the one
at his back he can say nothing. In like manner the
Property Man's accounts, as far as relates to what Is
really bought for the occasion, may be correct, but
ror what is not bought, and yet ror which the
theatre has all the same to pay, the manager has
In nature, nothing to say, '
The following may be given ns an in
stance of tho tricks of property men:
Mlsf Maggie - Mitchell, in her play of
1'anrhnn, has occasion in one scene to Introduce a
chicken. Now a chicken Is a "prop" when ned on
the stage, Just as every other specimen of live stock
Is. Cats, dogs, the horse In The hlixir of Lvr, trie
goat In Vinoiak-M are properties. There Is no
reason why during the run of Faneion the same
chicken should not be made to do nigitly service.
In a certain engagement played by Miss Mitchell,
however, the stage manager wa called
on to sign a bid fur seven chickens for
six nights and a matinee. To his credit be It noted,
the manager refused to affix his name to tho docu
ment. "I'rors" contended that It wasn't the same
clil( Ven, that he had no coop, and that the enters
would get away; but the manager was firm. We
have heard the theory advanced that property men
never really mean to defraud their nianigers. It
s cmlmed that ttey live a sort of (a very "sort of
we thould ay) ideal life, and have little notion of
the motives and the penalties of the outside world.
And It may be so.

A Double Baby The Siamese Twins Orrrnnwit
Exthaokbinary Fkeak op Nature A correspon
dent of the Cincinnati Commercial, wrl'ing from
Delaware, Ohio, October 19, relates this marvellous
story :
our community is much excited over a freak or
nature in the production of a double baby. The
Siamese twins are completely overshadowed by this
Infant wonder. There is living in Peru township,
Morrow county, a family named Flnley. Up to last
Wednesday morning it consisted of Mr. Joseph
Flnley, his wife Mary, and two children, little girls,
aged three and live years. On that morning Mrs.
in'ey was confined and gave birth to twins, joined
together in a manner unknown to the books, when
the gosBips brought the news of the event to our
city, and gave descriptions of the child, or rather
cm wren, it was laughed at by the professional,
and prononnced a good hoax. A gentleman living
in the vicinity of the Flnley home called on one of
our physicians and assured him that there was no
exaggeration In the description, as he had seen the
wonder. Convinced that there was something In
the case, a party of gentlemen, consisting or Drs. J.
A. Little and T. B. Williams, W. G. Seamens, Pro
fessor of Natural History and Chemistry In the Onto
Wesley an University, and S. K. Douovan, on the 16ih
inst., visited the family. Before reaching the Flnley
farm the party called on Dr. K. E. Weatbrook, of
Ashley, who had been called to attend the mother,
and learned from him that hair hail not been told.
Dr. Weatbrook accompanied the party. An hour's
Olive brought them ta the place.
On going to the gate leading to the yard, a written
notice was discovered announcing that visitors
would not be admitted. This did not deter the party.
They Immediately entered the yard, and on reaching
the front door of the dwelling, they were met by
Mr. Finley (the father) and a gentleman who ap
peared to be acting as an aid-de camp, who Informed
the party that they could be admitted to see the
show on the payment of twenty-hve cents each.
The Professor promptly forked over, apd the party
stepped in. In a lew minutes the nurse made her
appearance with the wonder. A double child was
exhibited. Two perfectly formed heads, one on
either side of the spinal column.
To give a clear Idea of it, just suppose that yon
sever the bodies of two men at the lower part of the
abdomen and then put the two upper parts togetaer,
and you have the trunk of this child. At the in
stance or Drs. Williams and Little, the clothing was
taken from It, aud a critical examination was made,
so far as could be without doing injury. From the
occiput cf one child to the occiput or the other
there is a continuous spine, rn a direct Hue, Upon
one side, and directly In the centere of the trunk,
were perfectly developed hips, thighs, legs, aud
feet. They are In nice proportion to the oody of
either child. On the opposite bide there is one large,
Imperfectly foimed leg, representing the appear
ance of the consolidation of two legs. There are
eight toes on this' limb, two of which have the ap
pearance of great toes, being much larger than the
others. Each has a well-formed head, good fea
tures, good chest, good arms and hands, lungs, heart,
liver, and stomach. The lower ponton or the bow
els, the bladder, aud perhaps the kidneys are In
common. All the other organs are separate.
There was but one umbilical cord and one pla
centa. The length or the body Is twenty inches,
and the umbilicus Is central In the abdomen, and
equidistant from each head. It nurses well, and,
when first exhibited to the party, one child was
asleep and the other was crying. While the physi
cians were making their examination, both cried,
but, a few moments after, the one which was crying
first went to sleep, while the other remained awake.
When either head would cry, tho perfect leg wnich
was nearest that head kicked and drew up, while
the leg nearest the other htad remained quiet.
When either cried, the toes on the Imperfect foot
would move, but the limb remained stationary. Both
heads nurse well, and the child, or rather children,
are in excellent health. The physicians could see
no reason why It, or they, should not live. The
mother is doing well.
Mr. Flnley is alive to the Importance and value of
this addition to his family. He is now charging
gate money, and be Informed the writer that he had
already entered into an article of agreement with a
gentleman for the sale of the body, if it should die.
Price fixed Is $10,000. Negotiations are in progress
for the exhibition if it lives. He is convluced that
theie is money in It, dead or alive, but thinks
there is most in the latter condition. He says that
be Is conscious of the fact that he "Is an unlarned
man, but has sense enough not to be fooled out
of it."
This wonder will be on exhibition at the Museum
and Menagerie for a short time, Mr. Hubert V. Himp
8(1 n having prevailed on the parents, at an expense
of iooo per week, to allow the paOllo to behold the
great curiosity.
