a
LIGHTS 0' LONDON."
All
Londen Kunnlne te Sea a Play Which,
the Auther Ceula net Flnu a Man
ager te fnrchase.
Londen Correspondence New Yerk World.
I believe I mentioned in one of my
cable dispatches that everybody here is
new running te see a play called the
" Lights O' Londen," by Mr. G. R. Sims,
whose name is as yet comparatively un
known in the dramatic world. The ex
perience which Mr. Sims went through in
connection with this play, though net par
ticularly new, is at least instructive te
ether aspirants te the honors of dramatic
authorship. He offered his work te one
theatre after another only te find it re
fused. Sometimes he could net even get
the manager te ioek at it, and in no in
stance did he receive anything mere en
couraging than a half polite kind of snub.
At last an actor-manager (Mr. Wilsen
Barrett) undertook te produce it, and
new hundreds of pounds aie turned away
fiem the doers every week. Most of the
theatres which declined te have anything
te de with the " Lights e' Londen " are
either half empty or closed altogether,
and their managcis are no doubt by this
time painfully alive te the mistake they
made. It is easy te condemn their want
of judgment and te say that their ill luck
serveslhcm light, but pet haps they arc net
se much te blame as some of us may fancy.
Mr. Sims made ceusiiletable alterations in
his weik after it;, i ejection, and no
doubt it i.s new i.u better adapled for
picncntatieu than it v as eiigiually. Apart
fiem this, lam com iuccd that it is mere
difficult te judge of a play, in manuscript,
than of any ether description of work, and
it is net easy te judge of any. "Print
settles it," some one has said, but in man
uscript almost everything has a compara
tively weak and uninteresting appearance.
It requires an experienced eye and a prac
ticed judgement te detect the merit which
there may be in a production before the
printer has rendeicd it at least an easy
matter te read it. The first publisher te
whom Carlyle offered his ' Sartor Rcsar
tus " handed it ever te his leader, who re
turned it with a most unfavorable opinion.
We may say (if we like) that this reader
was a dull man, but hew many of us would
recoguize all the beauties of " Sartor Ro Re
saitus" disguised beneath a crabbed baud
writ ing and coming fiem an unknown
man '.' A prudent " taster " would at fust
be rather afiaid of the Carlylean style and
shy el iccemmcnilmg it te his principal.
Thackciay, as we all knew, hawked "Van
ity Fair" about all ever the town before
he could find a publisher ; but evcu in this
case there was some excuse for the readers
who privately pronounced against it. They
were looking, as it was their business te
de, for a weik of abseibing interest likely
te pieve popular, and te this hour Thack
ciay's weiks have never become popular
with the multitude. Twe publishers re
jected Mr. Justin McCarthys "History of
uur uwii limes," which altcrwarus was
the success of the season ; but in this in in
stmce I venture te think these publishers
wcic right. Ne one can ever tell whether
the public will "take" te a book or net ;
and I, for one, .should certainly have
thought that they would net have taken te
the "history" m question. All publishing is
a lottery, as every bookseller of experience
has found out by various experiences, seme
feitunate and many quite the reverse.
The most difficult of all literary works
te decide upon is a play. Surely this is
proved by the mistakes se frequently made
by the very men who arc acknowledged te
be the most competent te judge of these
productions. Who has a greater knowl
edge of the stage, or has served a longer
apprenticeship te dramatic authorship,
than Mr. Beucicault ? Yet he has very
frequently been utterly wrong in the esti
mate which he has formed of hisewn writ
ings. The last play which he produced in
Louden was a failure, and I happen te
knew that he aucicipated for it a great
success. Mr. Byren is convinced that the
best play he ever wiete was " Cyril's Mis
take," but he has never been able te get
the public te take the same view of it.
Mr. Buckstone, of the Haymarket theatre
used te tell me that he never could even
trucss whether a play would make a great
hit or be hissed off the fetage until it was
actually produced, and a " lirst night"
used te find him almost as nervous as the
author. Mr. Lester Wallack is a most
accomplished mauagcr, and yet I have
known him te expend a great deal of
meuey and care en the " mounting" of a
play which was deemed from the very
start. Fortunes have been lest by mis
calculations of this kind, and it is evi
dent that all the experience and judge
ment in the world will net enable a man te
guard against a recurrence of such mis
haps. Managers will sometimes take the
bad and refuse the geed. I knew the late
Mr. Robertsen very well at a time when he
could net induce any manager in Londen
te read a line of any of his plays. He
tried them ever and ever again with
'Scheel" and "Caste," but they would
nave nothing te say te him. Ne small
shaic of disappointment and trouble fell
te his let before the faintest gleam of
prosperity fell upen his path. It is net
that mauagcis have less wit or perception
thau ether men, but, as they frankly con
fess, they "cannot tell." Mr. Buckstone
has sometimes shown me an immense pile
of manuscripts of original plays, every ene
of which had been "looked through" by
some ene or ether. They were none of
them fit for anything. Mr. Irving gets
about a dozen new plays offered te him
every week, but while a man can make a
fortune out of Shakespeare he docs wisely
te stick te him, with a little supplementary
entertainment new aud then provided by
Jlr. lennysen. Almest everybody who
puts pen te paper professionally has either
written a play or is thoroughly convinced
that he could de se if he tried. Most of
my personal fiicuds in the literary world
have one or mere half-finished plays con
cealed about their premises ; for the mat
ter of that, I am net sure that I have net
one myself somewhere or ether, and when
I have finished it I hope I shall live long
enough te get it read.
But even when a manager docs accept a
play aud it happens te turn out a success,
he sometimes discovers that it is net orig
inal. This has just happened, according
te rumor which may be quite trustworthy
with Mr. Clayten, the actor, who has
undertaken the caies and responsibilities
.of management at the Court theatre. The
play which he selected for opening his
somewhat hazardous campaign is called
" Hener " aud the author is Mr. Maurice
Barrymerc. It is stated that Mr. Clayten
was net aware, what is tlie undoubted fact,
that the work is merely au adaptation of
a French play, ' L'Heneur dolaMaiseu."
There is consequently a disagreement
between author and manager, out of which
it is even probable that a law suit may
arise. The only man with whom I ever
nad au acquaintance who could always
track with instant and unerring accuracy
every plagiarism of this kind was the old
dramatic critic of the Times, Jehn Oxen
ford. Ne matter hew adroitly the plunder
might be concealed, he would " nose it is
the lobby," and it was .amusing en the
LANCASTER, PA., TUESDAY. OCTOBER 18, 1881.
production of a new play te see the ether
critics gather round him and try te find
out whether he had made any discoveries
during the progress of the first or second
acts. Peer Jehn Oxenferd ! Ne doubt he
had his weaknesses, but he was a wonder
ful man in his day, and I have heard the
late Mr. Mowbray Merris declare that he
wrote the best English which appeared in
the Times. He knew the dramatic litera
ture of Germany, France and Spain se
thoroughly that even the writings of
obscure writers in the language of cither
of these countries were familiar te him.
It was he who first detected that some im
pertant incident or scene (I forget which)
in " Scheel " was borrowed from a Ger
man playwright. But everybody cannot"
have Jehn Oxenferd's knowledge, or his
readiness in using it, and it certainly
would net be easy te track all that is bor
rowed from the French in an age when
English dramatists borrow pretty nearly
all that they have. Let us except Mr.
Byren, who has, I believe, always given
the public hisewn work and never made
a pilgrimage across the channel for inspira
tion. Of the worst of his plays he can
honestly say with Touchstone : " An ill
favored thing sir, but miuc own."'
I lately saw that a French critic had de
scribed the majority of Engish dramatic
authors as demarqucurs de linge littcrairc
a severe and witty judgment and net
wholly undeserved. Fer i can recall very
few dramatists of our time who have net
gene te French writers for their plots, and
often for their language as well as for
their ideas. Tem Tayler went te them for
nearly all the plays he ever produced, in
cluding two of the most popular of the
series the " Ticl:et-of-Lcave Man " and
a " Wolf in Sheep's Clothing." The fust
is, I venture te think, an improvement en
the original, but .as te the second, it
was net possible te improve upon Mme. dc
Girardin's charming work, " Une Femtnc
qui Dctcste son Mali." Most of us can le
member hew great was the success in
England and America by Jehn Broug
ham's play, the " Duke's Motte," which
after all was only a translation of Paul
Feval's " Le Bossu." It would net de,
however, te recall all the plays which
have brought honor and meney te adapters
and managers during the last twenty
years or se. Sometimes the work is se
completely changed in adaptation that it
becomes almost original, and this was ac
knowledged te be the case with Tem
Robertsen's " Scheel." Mere than this
we, perhaps, cauuet expect, for the genius
te invent a totally new play plot, con
struction and ideas throughout does net
seem te be in the English-speaking race.
Did net Shakespeare himself take the
outline, at least, of his plots from ether
writers ? Hew is it that the French seem
te be able te imasiue as many new nlets
r as they want, and as often as they want
them? lhe whole world, and net Eng
land alone, gees te France for its theatri
cal amusements, and it would go there for
its novels tee, only that it would be rather
mere difficult te disinfect a French novel
than it is te perform the same process for
a French play. Such novels as arc amen
able te this treatment, or de net requiic
it. have had a tremendous vogue iu their
day en both sides of the Atlantic. Who
has net read " Mente Christe " and the
" Three Musketeers," which I think are
the most interesting stories ever written ?
Ne doubt there are much mere wonderful
studies of character te be found very
easily, but for an absorbing plot and
a succession of incidents which chain
the attention it is hard, te find a
rival te these old stagers. Ne man
ever get tired of following out
the marvelous plans of the Abbe Fana,
or of accompanying Monte Christe te his
famous isle. AH this wealth of invention
is net iu us, or if it is, it docs net come
out. Even Mr. Sims's play is regarded
simply as a story, old and weather-beaten.
There is net a new idea in it, but a new
turn is given te old ideas, and the public
are .never se well satisfied as when they
are being amused with personages and
situations which have elten amused them
befeie. Therefore the criticism upon Mr.
Sims, that his materials aie thrcadbaic,
will net injure him in the least, and only a
very inexperienced or a very conceited
critic weuiu nave mauc it. uecs he man
age te interest you ? That is all the pub
ask about a play-writer or a novelist, aud
in Mr. Sims's case the auswer is yes aud
consequently the "Lights e' Louden"

A Present from General Sherman
Iletv The General Y:la a Georgia fVeutau
ler her Chickens.
Governer Murray tells a laughable story
of his experiences iu the Georgia march te
the sea, which is worth repeating :
".Speaking of the famous march through
Georgia, " said the governor, " I never
shall forget the ameuut of money it cost
us te keep an old woman from cryiug her
self te death. Of course we were obliged
te subsist off the country as we went along,
aud we naturally took about the best in
sight. One day we took possession of a
chicken ranch kept by an old lady, who
steed at the front gate with a broom aud
threatened te lick all of Sherman's forces
if they did net move en. New, chickens
were considered as officers' meat, and, as
we were infernally hungry, we went for
these old hens pretty lively. When she
saw that her favorite fowls were being
caught and killed, she keeled right ever
and began te cry. Presently she began te
scream, and finally you could hear that
woman's yells clear te Atlanta. I sent
the surgeons in te quiet her, but they fail
ed, and then all the officers took turns,
but. the mere attention paid her the mere
she howled. I then get pretty nervous
ever the infernal neise, because the whole
army would hear it, and they might sup
pose somebedywas torturing the woman.
Finally Sherman rode up, and asked what
it was all about, and when we told him he
said: "Give her a bushel of Confederate
bends for her hens and see if that will step
her." Acting en this hint, I proceeded te
business. We had captured a Confederate
train the day befere, with $-1,000,000 of
Confederate money, aud I hunted up the
train at onee. The money was worth
about two cents en the dollar. Well, I
stuffed about half a million dollars in an
old carpet sack, aud marched into the
house.
"Madam,' said I, opening the sack,
Til give you' $50,000 te quit this noise.'
It was as still as death in a minute, and
then her face expanded iu a bread smile.
I laid the packages of money en -the table,
aud I never saw such a delighted woman.
Thd effect pleased me, and I continued :
' General Sherman presents his compli
ments and $100,000.' I never in my life
saw such a pleased old woman, and I
wound up by dumping the contents of the
sack right down en the fleer, and telling
her that when it came te contribution te
distressed females I could net be outdone
by no man living.
" She invited the officers te supper and
she cooked every chicken en the ranch,
and set out cider as free as water. We
were having a pretty geed time when a
long, lank old coon came in, and she said
it was her husband. Pretty seen his eye
fell en the money. 'Sarah,' said he,
' where in blazes did you get all this darned
truck ?'
"'A preseut from General Sherman,'
said she.
" ' 'Taint worth a continental cent ;
they're kiudliu' fires with it down at New
Orleans.
"The old woman rese up, her face as
white as your shirt front, and her eyes
wasn't pleasant te meet.
"'Se you are the bilk that gave me
this, are you'." she called out, reaching
for the old broom.
"The entire mess rose aud started from
that house. We never heard any mere of
her, and there isn't a man of the crowd
who would meet that el 1 woman for all
that Confederate money, if it would bring
100 cents en the dollar at the treasury de

If there is any such store as Oak nail in either England or France I
could net find it. The nearest approach tc it is " La Belle Jardiniere "
Paris en the Seine, but any one visiting this store will say Oak Hall
does better in quantity te select from, style and make-up of goods,
though the prices in the main arc cheaper in Paris ; because of the
cloths without duties, aud the cheap labor of France! The people
here, however, think our prices are quite low enough, considering all
things. American Clothing outranks all ether throughout the world
for real gracefulness. We have here uene of the narrow-breasted and
contracted shouldered coats that are se universal abroad. Some of the
New Yerk Tailors who have opened branches iu Pyis are among the
most popular artist-tradesmen there, and are well patronized.
The English and French open their eyes wide when told of the size
of the Oak Hall Clothing Heuse and its vast stock of ready goods for
Men aud Beys.
It is our purpose and hope always te have Philadelphia lead the re
tail clethiug trade aud we are giving our best efforts te improve every
year en our cutting, patterns and workmanship. The character of ma
terials we use is no longer an uncertain question. The people knew
that we aie le be depended en for sound judgment (based en exper
ienced) in the goods selected. - This year our fashions and finishing
would warrant higher rates, but our prices arc as reasonable as ever.
