DRAMATIC SKETCHES 30. C.
The Ma.ter of the Robes.
The proper costuming of a piece li a most Import
Ant matter, and while the wardrobe man very often
docs the greatest share of the work, he not seldom
gets the least psrt of the credit In the best theatres
It hat been the rale that the stsge manager should
' ssig-n dally. If the bill was that often changed, or
whenever required, the dresses that were to be fur
nished from the theatre wardrobe, that each lair
or gentleman should wear. At some houses this
rule Is still actively enforced, the performer finding
on his dressing-table In the evening all the articles
needed by him, marked with his name. It Is not
often, however, that there is such system, the per
formers In moBt cases selecting for themselves such
things as they may fancy. There is another ancient
rule which is even more generally broken.
In the good old times It was decreed
that all performers of the rank of walking gentle
man and upwards should furnish their own dresses.
The wardrobe was Intended only for the smaller
people, whose salaries were sapposed (and very
fairly supposed) to be Inadequate to the purchase of
costumes. These latter performers were expected
to have their own "tights;" shoes, feathers, etc., bat
the theatre agreed to furnish their dresses. IIow
ever the rule may have been broken, It Is now the
act that in many cases the principal performers do
BOt scruple to nse the theatre wardrobe, the leading
man himself not being too proud, very frequently, to
draw on its stores of cotton velvet and silver lace.
Of course this Is nnfalr to the utility, because the
big men of the place have their choice, and the very
people who can least atl'ord to do bo have to put up
with the leavings.
It Is rare cow-a-days to find a stock actor with any
comiderabie personal wardrobe. Formerly a good
amount of tins material was considered an essential.
Honey spent In this way was thought to be legiti
mately laid out, for It was argued that what his
tools are to the mechanic his wardrobe Is to the
actor. Now, however, the most business-like men In
the profession think money so laid out a poor invest
ment, and would rather have their earnings in the
savings ban! or Government stocks than In theatri
cal raiment. Two reasons may be given for this
change of base. Many of the "revivals" and sensa
tions of late years have been dressed, for the sake of
uniformity, by managers. This material so accu
mulates In a theatre that there is often no real need
Of Individual expenditure. Then, the popularity of
Society, or, as actors call them, "Pantaloon" pieces,
renders a great deal of the fancy dressing of other
times unnecessary. In this last and Important mat
ter the theatre is the gainer, for all present day cos
tumes must be provided by the performers, whether
of high or low degree. But although during the'run
of "pantaloon" pieces the wardrobe man's occupation
Is as good a gone, yet they do not run forever, and
in some localities tney do not run at all. The sub
ject of our sketch Is, therefore, at all times, an essen
tial member of the stage manager's stair.
It might be supposed that the cos turner should be
by trade a tailor. But whether he should be or not,
he very rarely Is. Consider the manly figure of
Colonel Frank Johnson. Everybody knows Frank.
Docs he look as if he ever sat on a lapboard? Frank
is on the political lay at present, but he was cos
turner and a good one at the Atch Street Theatre
for many years. In fact, this branch of the tailor
ing business is not so much a trade or an art as It
Is a knack, a superficial way of putting things. The
property man who manufactures a gorgeous paste
board gonlet has very rarely learned that art at the
goldsmith's, and the stage carpenter who bulld3 a
Bhlp and pats it on the stocks complete, has,
most likely, never been within seventeen
miles of a ship yard. In like manner, the stage
tailor Is not a tailor as we of the outer world regard
that worthy artificer. He doesn't learn ; he knows.
Bis work isn't theory reduced to practice; it is in
stinct. Oftener than not he is some broken-down
or Imperfectly appreciated actor, who has more soul
for Buttons than for Shakespeare. Men continually
drift from the stage into similarly unlikely business
relations to it; but this change, from strutting their
own brief hour to the trapplng-up of their more suc
cessful rivals in the race, seems the Btrangest of all.
Many are the sad stories of disappointed ambition
to be fouud la the corners and dark places of the
theatre.
All clothes have a mean kind of look when thrown
Off, but none seem so Ineffably shabby as theatrioal
dresses. At the best they are intended to be looked
at from a distance, and when In addition to a
damaging propinquity they sutfer from the com
bined Ul-usage of several generations of people who
nave no interest in talcing care of them.lt Is not
worth any high price of admission to see them tossed
about in heaps In a dingy and uncomfortable apart
ment. This room Is generally in the flies, or at some
nolnt as conveniently near thereto as possible. Its
position has been known to cause an extra vehe
mence of language very often, but there is a reason
for its remote location. It would be seriously
n the way on the stage floor, and the base
ment is often so damp and poorly ventilated
a place as to be unfit for nse by people who have to
remain in it all day. Both wardrobe and dressing'
rooms, however, are at times built under the stage.
We have known dressing-rooms of this sort to be so
very damp that the actors in arraying themselves
or their approaching triumphs had either to do so
upon stools and chairs or eUe to stand in water
ankle deep during toe operation. There is more
of the romantic than of the agreeable in this, and
Bot much of either.
The first sight of the wardrobe invariably impels
one to ask, Can any order be got out of this chaos?
An apparently more hopeless condition of things can
scarcely exist. As already hinted, the actors often
help themselves, and in doing so they mix things up
considerably. The man who would rather have his
fidgety cua'omers do this, thinking to save hlmielf
trouble thereby, must surely find the heavy end of
the account In clearing up after them, if there ever
, is a clearlng-up. It does seem In some theatres as If
this clearlu j-ud tune never came, in which case, of
course, the new rule la all clear gain for the ward
robe man.
The duties of this official are three-fold. First,
to provide sinh niw dresses as miy be necessary;
second, to issue nightly, or when required, suoh
articles as may be called for; third, to keepa ttrlct
account of such material issued, and to keep the
entire stock In good condition and repair. Any
one can see that the place is a responsible one.
It is, further, In many cases a hardworkiug and
confining one. At Wailack's the costumer has an
easy berth, although the old comedies give him
something to do, but at the Bowery he Is one of the
busiest men in the theatre.
Most young actors hae their keenest recollec
tions associated with the wardrobe. It 1 the region
of practical Jokes. The way novices are put upon
IB perfectly heartless, but there seems to be no help
for it, and only one compensation, viz., that lu their
turn the victimized parties may have the opporta
n ty of Hazing other unfortuLate Freshmen. A
greenhorn behind the scenes has an astonishing
talent for gullibility. Be takes everything he hears
for truth, absorbing as greedily as a sponge the
most Improbable things. However shrewd and
Sensible ha may In fact be, it seems that on his nm
entrance to the stage a kind of numbness falls
upon thoe faculties, leaving him an
unsuspecting and easy prey to the "unconscionable
rogues" who are lying In wa't for him. The Joking
and hoaxlug has a natural headquarters in the
wardrobe. The novice la utterly at sea here, and
bis friend are very attentive. He asks advice as
to the dressing of his parts, and he gets it in plenty.
One of the standing Jokes, some hundreds of years
Old, and which to this day never fills to bring down
Its man, la this:-The "aspiring ynuib." u told that
the dress that he imperatively needs for a certain
part is an "Ibid." "An Ibid?" he perhaps asks In
quiringly. "Yes, that is the Idea," and a play,
book la opened carelessly, and a list of
costumes shown him : " 'loster,' scarlet
trunks ant mantle; Buckingham,' green Ibid; etc.
etc." At any other time a iua of common lutein
gence would know that this was only another word
for "ditto," but, worked up as he is, and being about
t J make hi fortune and to revolutionize the stage,
be bites at the book, bo he straightway goes to the
wardrobe for nil Ibid, having boen advised by hts
new friends that he had better look it np early in the
day, so as to provide for any contingencies of misfit,
etc. Now It often happens that the costumer has
had so many demands for this garment that he has
grown, as we may say, fretful about It. So he keeps
a wig-block, bootjack, or some other hsavy article
convenient to his hand, and at the first Intimation
of the request
Sometimes, however, the oostumer himself de
scends to the low and questionable region of the
practical joke. When ho does, look out from under.
It is the nodding of Jove. Some seasons ago, at the
Ohesnut Street Theatre, a novice gained, either by
his ignorance or his presumption, the contempt of
the wardrobe man, who thought to set him down the
most effectively by elaborately dressing him for a
small part. An offer to that effect was eagerly ac
cepted, and the sacrifice was completed. All the
particulars of that fearful costume carmot be given,
but there was armor, and a toga, and a blacksmith's
apron, and a bag wig, and basket-hllted sword, and
many other alarmingly Incongruous things. What
the piece wbb, the dear knows, but it makes no dif
ference. Having expended all his resources upon
him, the costumer directed his dupe to go to Mr.
Lewis Baker, who was stage manager, and ask him
if he was ready to go on! And even this the
poor fool did. Baker glared at him a spell. He had
Been a good many queer things in his time, but this
was too much for him. Controlling his feelings
finally, he said : "Ton are ready to go on board the
first train that starts for a mad-house, but I can't see
that yon are ready for anything else particularly.
It is scandalous, gentlemen" for It chanced that
there had a small audience assembled "scandalous
that such doings can be imagined, much less perpe
trated, In a respectable theatre. It was different
when 1 was a young man" (sarcastic snlirs in the
auditory) "and they shall not be tolerated here. I
shall look into this bunlness, and discharge every
man connected with It." But he didn't.

AN A P ,P E A L
IN BEHALF OF A HOSPITAL
TOR THB
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA.
The undersigned, friends of the University of
Pennsylvania, would earnestly invite the attention
of the public to the following appeal In behalf ot a
Hospital to be connected with that institution.
Those who are most Interested in the Medical
School of the University, and best qualified to Judge,
have tio doubt of the necessity of the measure pro
posed, and of Its great importance, not only to the
advancement of medical education, but to the chari
table and commercial Interests of the whole oom
mnnlty. They are convinced of the need of adopting, to its
fullest extent, the practice of the best European
schools in uniting dally hospital tuition with that of
the lecture-rooms, laboratories and museums, as an
integral feature of the regular medical course; and
they believe that the necessity for this nnlon Is now
so generally and strongly felt that no school con re
fuse to heed the demand.
The Faculty of the University Is well known to
have uniformly insisted on the largest practicable
amount of bedside study of medlca and surgical
diseases. The teaching of the city hospitals in
which Its members have always more or less partici
pated has beei faithfully supplemented by the
demonstrations of the Universary Dispensary and
Infirmary, under their Immediate control. But,
notwithstanding this constant association of their
courses with a public hospital service, experience
has Bhown the necessity of a hospital under the
direction of the school, as an addition to its other
resources.
Further, we have no hesitation in asserting that,
as an object of cburity, no less than one of educa
tional policy, the contemplated hospital deserves the
favorable consideration of our fellow-citizens.
Although the number of sun ere rs from accident and
disease is constantly increasing la our enormous
working population, there is no corresponding
growth in the provision for the medical and surgical
aid to which these indispensable members of our
community are entitled. The need of further hospi
tal accommodation is shown bv the numerous appli
cations rejected at our nospitais irora aay to aay.
At the University alone, over three thousand per
sons have applied for relief In the past year, many
of whom could only be properly treated In the wards
of a hospital. The number of hospital beds now
available in Philadelphia is well known to be too
small in proportion to our population, and is very
strikingly so when a comparison Is instituted with
the large cities of Europe.
While It must be conceded that increased hospital
accommodation Is needed In Philadelphia, It is no
less clearly established that such Increase should be
secured, not so much by the enlargement of those
already existing, as by ihe erection of new hospitals
of moderate size, and situated in the most favorable
hygienic localities. In this view, the position selected
for the University Hospital Is particularly favorable,
while, at the same time, it possesses the alvantage
of being in the vicinity of the termini of the great
railroads of our State.
The proposed undertaklag Is also justified by the
Important material Interests involved, since,
by favoring the concourse of undents, a large
turn of money Is annually brought to and expeuded
in this citv. Thus, la the last sixty years, not less
than twenty millions of dollars have been actually
expended in Philadelphia by the medical students
of the University alone, not to estimate the very
large amounts which have been continually flowing
io our city as a consequence 01 tne intimate asso
clations which thrv formed.
The trustees of the University have accordingly
decided to devote a portion of tnelr property in West
Philadelphia large enough for the erection of an ap
propriate edifice, with sufficient Bpace around it for
all purposes of exercise and ventilation the sug
gested plan thereof being shown by the following
cut:
LOCUST ST.
e-COLLCCIATE
6PRUCE1 ST.
In order to complete such a hospital with a com
plement of two hundred and fifty beds, and to main
tain it in proper order ana emciency, a building and
endowment fund will be required of AT LEAST
SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. Less
than this might and will, of course, be made avail
able, to a correspondingly limited extent, in a par
tially completed edifice with a smaller number of
beds; but a million of dollars could be employed
without extravagance, and with inestimable oeniit
to the sick and wounded, not only of our own com
munity, but of the great manufacturing and mining
districts by which we are surrounded.
In view, therefore, of the facts and considerations
here presented, as to the requirement of medical
education, tne ieea or rniiaaeipma or tncreixed hos.
pital accommodation, and the viaterial advantage to
our My, we most earnestly commena tne under
taking to our fellow-citizens, and to all the friends
