A Theatrical
Sas\ta Clans.
By JEFFSRSON DE ANGELIS.
A'taf week In-fore < 'liristinus in
I New York, "once upon a time,
not so very long ago," showed
Broadway full of eager shop
pers, making tracks through a heavy
fall of snow which the street sweepers
had not yet cleared away. I'p and
down the magic street and its com
panion arteries in the retail district a
jostling crowd, pushing, lighting its
way, sought to catch glimpses of the
many treasures temptingly displayed
in the shop windows. Great extremes
of life buuiped elbows. The nirl from
the east side, coming down from the
slums to view the good things—things
forbidden to her pocket book— brushed
her threadbare skirts against the fur
lined gown of the daughter of the rich.
The almond eyed Celestial from the
Chinese district mingled the opium
scent of his blouse with the delicate
violet of the well dressed crowd. Chil
dren from Fifth avenue in their smart
clothes edged away from squalidly
dressed urchins with unwashed faces
and uncombed hair.
There was happy contentment re
flected ou the faces of thousands, in
contrast to the pinched, hungry, hope
less. feverish eyed faces of the other
thousands so strangely mingled on the
world's greatest thoroughfare.
At the Hialto theater great prepara
tions were in progress for the produc
tion of a new comic opera. Rehearsals
had been going on from early morning
until midnight, day in and day out.
The back of the big stage was a verita
ble chaos. Unfinished scenery and
mysterious looking "props" were being
skillfully fashioned into counterfeit
presentations of camels, for there was
to be a grand march of the king's cara
van across the desert. There was an
elephant, too, as big as life, aud os-

triches and weird objects, all piled in
confusion with artificial plants and
floral devices, glittering armor and all
the thousands of odd things that were
being prepared for the most dazzling
comic opera of the year, "The Minstrel
of the Sahara."
The scenic artists had been working
day and night for weeks, and. with the
"opening" now only a few days off, the
managers were nervously dreading
that the beautiful effects would not be
J finished in time. To add to this fear,
j Henry Granger, the artist on tvliom
I the projectors of the great spectacle
j had mainly depended, had succumbed
j to the strain of working for days and
j nights without sleep and scarcely stop
ping for anything to eat. He lay at
his little east side home, tossing and
raving in the delirium of typhoid fe
ver. He had been absent from the
"painter's bridge" for nearly a fort
night, aud, although his loss was con
sldered serious at first, some one else
had filled his place, and now he was
forgotten. Scenic artists, like actors,
are improvident creatures, and if any
of the warm hearted stage folk had
had time to think of aught except the
duties that weighed so heavily on each
and every one they might have
thought that the sick man, out of work
and helplessly ill, might be suffering
for want of money. Granger was a
favorite generally, and many a time
had he gone down into his scant sav
ings to help swell a contribution to
some needy professional in distress. If
anything ever reminded the company
i of Granger's absence it might have
| been that his little girl, an only one of
I seven, came no more with the artist's
| meals, as she used to when he painted
| away up there on the "bridge." She
i was a sweetly coy little thing, her
I great blue eyes set In a thoughtful
j and pale face, surrounded by golden
: curls.
And now it was Christmas eve, at 4
I o'clock In the afternoon. Old Pete,
i the stage door tender, was startled
| from his reveries back in the shadow
| of his cage by the sweet voice of a
' child. She had "a note from mamma
| to Mr. Hardcraft, the manager." No,
I the manager was not around just then,
| but she could wait. lie might be back
| any moment. Tenderly the rough old
j fellow led the bonny one to a prosce
j nlum box and. lifting her into a big up
bolstered chair, which she far from
filled, bade her wait. A busy rehearsal
! was in progress, which the child
watched with no special curiosity, foi
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1907.
1 the sight was a familiar one to her.
i until after a succession of noils she fell
I asleep.
Every one on ttic stai;.- was !<•'> busy
I to notice tiie mite as she restc.l there,
| one foul curlotl unilor, her pretty face
j snugly pressed into the corner of the
i softly padded chair. Her red tain had
slipped off. and her hair was loosely
massed in ringlets about her face and
neek. In a few minutes the stage
manager abruptly stopped the evolu
tions and singing to announce that an
hour would be given for something to
eat. So there followed a hurrying to
nearby cafes and lunch places, and the
big theater was left dark and silent,
where only a few moments previous
had resounded the voices of chorus, the
shuffling and patter of feet and the
shouts of the excited director. After
awhile, one by one and in pairs and
I more, the company began to assem
ble again. There was still a good
half hour, and the boys and girls
of the chorus accepted the opportunity
to chat and gossip as they sat on
boxes, bundles of carpet or even srpia'
ted on the floor of the stage, their talk
causing a hum to resound throughout
the big auditorium.
And still the child slept on.
Suddenly there was an ominous hush
as Manager Ilardcraft strode upon the
stage, shaking snow from his fur lined
coat and shining silk hat. Ills keen
eyes pierced the darkness toward the
boxes, probably in an effort to detect
any of the company who might be
stealing some comfort in the box seats,
a privilege strictly forbidden. lie
roughly demanded to know who the
"kid"' was asleep in one of his forty
dollar chairs. Calling old Pete from
his post at the back, he wanted to
know who let her in, anyway. Going
to the little sleeper, Pete deftly took
the envelope from the little hand which
still clasped It, however loosely. The
great man Impatiently tore open the
note, gave It a swift glance, crunched
it and, throwing it among the foot
lights, gave a pull at his cigar and
strode hurriedly into the street. The
company crowded forward to view the
little intruder. Tony Thompson, the
comedian of the organization, picked
up the note, straightened out Its creases
and read aloud:
John Harderaft, Esq., Manager the Rlalto
Opera Company:
Dear Sir—l beg Indulgence for thus in
truding upon your time and patience. It
Is with reluctance I write to ask if you
cannot send me a few dollars to be paid
back us soon as my husband is able to
work again. I have used all the money
he has saved for the doctor's bill and to
purchase medicine and our necessities.
We have not had a cent in the house for
two days now. and not only are we—my
little daughter and myself—in need of
food, but I fear that if I cannot renew the
prescriptions for the medicine the doc
tor has ordered Mr. Granger will have
a relapse. I dislike very much to ask
this favor of you, but our condition is be
coming desperate. You will be doing an
act of kindness we shall never forget If
you will send something to aid us in our
predicament, and may God bless you for
It. Respectfully. HELEN GRANGER.
Some one put his hand deep into his
pocket and brought up a piece of
money, and then without a word there
was a tinkling of dimes, quarters and
halves sis they dropped Into the hat of
the fat and rosy little comedian. The
collection was tied up in a handker
chief and noiselessly placed Into the
lap of the sleeping child.
But that was not all. A happy
thought came to the comedian, now as
serious as a Ilamlet. From a roll of
money he whipped a twenty dollar bill.
In a very few minutes the property
man and his assistant had placed 011
the stage in front of the sleeping girl
a nice green Christmas tree, purchased
without much ado from the vender 011
the corner. Others had hurriedly
brought little red, white and blue can
dles, strings of popcorn, tinsel and
candy hearts, which were quickly at
tached lo the boughs of the cedar.
While this was going 011 Tony was giv
ing orders in rapid succession, as fol
lows:
"Quick, there, Jennie; bring that big
Cossack coat with the fur all around
the edges. Bill, run for those boots.
Ilurry, now. Somebody get me an old
man's wig, long white hair, mind you,
and a beard. There, that's just the
thing. Here, you all stand back In the
shadow. Now, girls, sing softly the
music that goes with the entrance of
the queen's barge In the starlight.
That's it—just a little softer!"
The sound of celestial music filled
the place. It was dark save where the
twinkling lights of the Christmas tree
illuminated the figure of the merry
Santa Claus standing alongside, with
his kindly face turned toward the
slowly awakening child. She opened
her eyes, blinked them again from the
light, sat straight, rubbed her eyes
with her tiny fists, stirred herself and

sobbed aloud. Jumping down from the
stage, the Santa Claus took her on his
lap and tightly held her in Ills arms.
1 "What's the matter, little one? Don't
you see that Santa Claus has come to
take care of you?"
"Yes, I know, denr Santa, but I am
crying because I am afraid I'll wake
up and find it isn't real." And the
trembling child huddled closer.
