THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1871. 5 DRAMATIC SKETCHES. NO. 7. TflE SUPE. "Super.. ..Magic sound. It brings It alljiack, all the delight and wonder of trie play-house In those early times when even the supe got a share of the glory. The snpe has been chaffed from time lmme. mortal, but always playfully, and It would be hard to find a retired theatre-goer who does not read or hear the old name without a comical, mournful Interest. The supe Is the man who never speaks from the stage, except In company with other men. Speak ing by the card, there Is no snuh thing as a supe. 'Trained corps of supernumeraries" there are, but a Single super Is like an Individual atom his only value Is in conjunction with other atoms. Behind the scenes tbeso atoms are technically termed shouters." They make the mobs, the patriots who raise or knock the pins from under a dynasty by com bined yet simple expression. And they know about as much as mobs do generally We have hearl Mr. Murdoch tell of a choice lot of patriots which he was leading In some piece or other, who had with Infinite care been drilled to make certain exclama tions In a Ret order, liut brains to adapt themselves to a situation they had not. Murdoch made an in advertent transposition of his own lines, and the following short but emphatic dialogue was there suit; Hero Would ye be slaves ? ShouUrsWe would! we would! Hero (finding it too late to cry back, and trusting to luck) Would you be free men? Shouters We'd die first! Such is the supe. Who Is there who has not found an array la a second-class theatre more entertaining than the fun niest farce ? The wonoer has always been how It wai possible to turn out such a sttof scarecrows, and how with such an Incubus ever upon it the illu sion could be at all sustained. If audiences were themselves better Informed, the spectacle presented by the supers would be even more ludicrous to them tlisu it Is. The dre&Bes are worn with very little alH'imion in numbers of pieces differing widi ly in time and place. Tho Scotch dress Is so distinctive that the average sight seer grasps Ps peculiarities with little trouble, and so of a few others; t ut veiy often the auditor knows very little more of v hat la the proper thing for the mailer iu hand than the super himself. Where does the supe come from ? What is the inducement for him to make a zany of himself? Hard quebtions. Sometimes, certainly, he is ambi tious to become an actor, and knows no other way than to begin in the very humblest capacity. And while here it may be said that some distinguished players have In fact risen from this tnsiimlflciut place into enviable positions. John R. Scott always boasted that he did. William Goodall, who made such a sensation at Barnum's Museum years ago in the Drunkard, was a super only a few months before ne made Ms great hit Not only such cases, how ever, Di. lUt Be who even graduate into the ranks of the "utility,'- are extravagantly exceptional. The matter is a riddle from this point of view. In the cases of ninety-nine out of a hundred there is not only no ambition, but there is, further, an i. du rance of everything relating in any possible way to the drama, and an utter indifference to acquiring any knowledge on the subject. Regarding the inducement we are still more in the dark. What inducement, put concretely and on a scale generally adopted by the theatres of the United States, is twenty-five cents a night, or a dollar and a half a week ! For this munificent sum the supe sub mits to an v mount of discomfort and bullying tint would be dear at lorty-nlue dollars a month. He cannot be s;tld to be driven into a theatre as into a gold mine. Even his dollar and a half ho docs not pocket free of duty, as we shall presently explain. Not ambitious (of too low an order, as a rule, to know what nuiDltlon Is) and decidedly not enriched by his diluted share of professional life, how and why the supe exists must remain one of the un solved problems. Actors have tried to answer it from the beginning, but always without success. A somewhat Important person in a dramatic com pany is an individual with tho semi official title of "Captain of the Supers." He Is usually an actor In a small way, but his captaincy is not determined by his abilities in this regard, but by his powers of com mand, lie has the roughest sort of material to deal With, and it is necessary he should be a person with energy and firmness. It Is tils business to drill the supes in their evening's work, to get the re quired dresses from the wardrobe and to see that they are safely returned, and to look after Lis un couth forces while on tin stage and off It. In fur therance of this latter duty he has In the first place to see that they do what they should (as nearly as it is in their nature to), and in the second, that they do not do what they would If they were not closely looked after. In the better theatres there Is a room especially devoted to the supes, to which a standing order remands them whenever they are not needed on the stage. In default of such provision the stage, during the performance of a heavy piece, is apt to be in a state of tumult and confusion. The supes, of course, do not attend rehearsals. Their revenues from the theatre do not permit them to rely upon ucli Incomes exclusively for support, and they have, or are sapp sed to have, other business In the daytime. The cap tain rehcatses for them. The stage manager or prompter tells him, as the piece proceeds, how many men he wants on scenes specified, and what they are to do. These directions be details to his force at night, rehearsing them on the stage between acts in tho important movements. Tae captain doesn't get much cre dit from the public for his work, and as he must make it up somehow, he takes it out of the supe. That forlorn creature, by his articles of en gagement, agrees to pay the captain for his services a certain amount a week, sometimes a night's wages, sometimes more or less. - The management sanctions this, as It Is lound to be about the best way of running the department. The captain is in addition paid the salary of "responsl ble utility" about (IB a week and it often happens during a tragedy season, when an extra force of supernnmerariis is required, that he makes as much money as the principal actors. Sometimes the humble supe's position has bjon assumed by youngsters on a lark, or desirous of Investigating the hidden recesses of the theatre. A few yeai s ago this was done on East in a rather ex traordinary manner. No less dUtiuRulshed per33ns than a party of Harvard students made application to the Boston Thea're, and were employed by the cap tain with ravening eagerness. Never since ths keel of the "Boston" was laid hud bucii Hue figures of men offered themselves for these elevated posts. Cam bridge iswithlneasj distance of the city, and the j e was kept u? until some of the college authorities, happening to visit the tneatre, discovered oar young adventurers despite their elaborate disguises, aud suppressed their iioUodb of practical humor in a sum mary manner. The captain did not know until the finale occurred that he had been entertaining angels unaware. Lowly hung as the super is iu the dramatic gallery, there are recognized grades of excellence even iu his poor sphere. At the bottom of the ladder we find the sure engaged In very simple duties. To roll under a green baize carpet, simulating the raging of the angry malu, Is a favorite commence ment of his apprenticeship. His graduation thence Is laborious and slow. Half-way up, perhaps, stands the spear business. When a man can carry a spear there is a tolerable confidence reposwi In Him. Finally, u he has talent, he Is permitted to cinya banner. This Is the crown of a supe's career. To keep the S. I. Q. R side turned to the audleuce, to raise and depress it at the right time aud to hold it gracefully when at reBt, there lu nothing beyund Ibla; what should there bet But the real glory of the supe seems to have de parted. The simple nstes of this generation are too much for blm. What chance has the supe of other days in Eirth, and Cate, and School, aud all tdat sl kly crew? Our gave him, lu its military procession, a splendid opportunity, but o.ie swallow do s not make a summer. The supe thinks tJia pre sent gem-ratiou Is weak-kneed and brokeu-ba'-ked in its dramntlo tactes. Booth is tha only man who acts the old-fashioned tiagedy now-a-duys, aud he Can't keep the whole Bupernume rary prof ebsion la en garment. The younger tragedians, Adamg.Barrett, and the like, play only their ridiculous sentimental pieces, wherein the genuine supe has positively no chance to disport. The Irish drama has gone to the dogs, too. Barney Is In Ireland, and nobody knows when he will comeback. Burlesque and sensation give the girls a fine chance, but sink the supe lower than ever. Richard, ill or Macbeth is his idea of a dramatlo entertainment. Put him Into dirty white tights that show his bow legs In all their native elegance, drape ronnd him a toga that makes film look like a suicidal butcher, and bind with the consul's or senator s wreath his lanky soap locks, and the Supo, as he always was and will be, stands confessed. But put him lu store clothes and you ruin him. Tragedy Is his forte; "pantaloon" pieces are his undoing. M VSICAL AND DRAMA Tl O. The City Amusements. At the MyKNNEHCHOR Gardbn, northeast corner of Coates and Franklin streets, the first of tha series of grand Instrumental concerts, 'celcr the direction of Mr. Carl Sentz, will be fi. u this evening.
