The Stage A Mirror of the Age
Simple Acting the
Difficult
'To piny rt simple. itinffcctcl part,
nlthotit maUc-tip, Is tho most difficult
york for an nctor," declared Edwin Ar
den, who will take tho part of Baron
Jluilrey In "Tho Yellow Ticket," which
opens nt the Oarrlck next week,
"You'd Imagine the hardest parts are
those requiring excessive mimicry of
characters and olaborato make-up,
"Audiences have a tendency to under
estimate the skill required to play parts
not endowed by tho author with any
tpecl.ll physical characteristics. They are
equally prono to give undue value to
go-called 'character parts.' I remember
once loading wonderful natlcca which
were given an actor who was playing a
peasant, wearing a character wig, who
had a scene on a Imlf-dnrkcncd stage.
He spoke In a gruff tonn of voice- and
' . . I .. Hull HI. ArTAfltBaa
was accortieu praise iu n""1"" ...........
In tho dark'. Acting In the dark Is much
fflsler than tlpon a well-lighted stage,
for In seml-obscurlty one has only to
think of one's voice and ono's lines, while
under tho glare of llghts-'full up -the
player must reallr.e that he Is under
almost mlscroscoplo scrutiny of hundreds
of ees. ,
"Under these conditions he must think
of his facial expression,' hla clothes-even
to the point ot remembering during an
ardent love scene that the misplaced cuff
of a drew shirt, which falls to reveal
Itself In white outline between tho black
t sleevo of his coat and the flesh color
or his wrist, will produce an ugly and
undesirable effect.
"I onco Had a nattering notice umui
my ability to change my volco on tho
stage. How often doca nn nctor change
his voice actually? And how does the
man In the audience remember tho tonal
nioductlon well enough to know whether
ho changed It? If tho actor drops hla
voice. If the part requires him to be gruff
or surly, can one call this 'changing a
voice'? And Is this nn accomplishment
of extraordinary valuo? I do not believe
It Is.
"I Insist that tho hardest acting done
by an nctor la when he nppears not to
be acting at all. Some one naked me re
eentlv whether I believe that Forrest
and his method would have bcon accept
ed by theatre-goers of today. If Forrest
had survived until today and had grown,
we should have found him adopting the
new school methods nnd doing away with
tli nlil tle-wle creatures and mannerisms.
Kdwln Booth In his later yearn developed
his art even when many critics declared
It to be perfected. He had in fact out
grown his critics.
"We have plenty of excellent actors for
character roles In Amorlca. Tho trouble
Is that American actors are so heavily
overpaid that It Is next to Imposalble
for a manager to coat a good actor for
a 'bit.' When he has assembled a cast
which gives him a salary list of about
fMOO a week for threo or four of his
principal characters, he must cut down
on tho rest ot his cast If he would assure
any profit for himself. In England ono
can engage actors of experience for much
less money, f
Notes of the Theatre
W, A. Brady, who Is generally credited
ismong his associate managers with being
"a wise guy," wont on record the other
day by declaring that Albert Brown, of
tho Grace Georgo company. Is tho com
ing "Mnnsflcld ot America." Mr. Brady
may be right or wrong. His Judgment
about embryonic actors ought to bo good,
for he Is an old-time actor himself, nnd
has watched the development of ininy
players who have emerged from absolute
obscurity to stellar prominence.
It Is estimated that during the ex
istence of the piny, nearly 100,000,000 pieces
of paper have been ustd In tlii! snow

Flashes From Stars
Chailes T. Aldrlch, who Is playing
''Abdiiazar. tho man with a hundred
fates." in Chln-Chln" at the Forrest
riicatre, with Montgomery and Stone, Is
Known the world over as a famous
Juggler. He bpent eight consecutive years
In Europe, with headquarters In London.
He paid sundry professional visits to
other European capitals. He has given
private exhibitions of his wonderful skill
In sleight-of-hand befoie the Czar of Rus
ia, the Kaiser and the late King Ed
waid of England, of whom Aldrlch was
an especial favorite. He appealed at no
' man three royal "command'
fo:mances nt Windsor Castle.
Mr. Aldrlch has performed In South
Africa and the Australian colonies. He
In. however, a native of Cleveland, O.
llis father was a Presbyterian minister.
The minister nlways Intended his son
snoulii enter the ministry. While he was
Mill a youth, Charlie ran away from
home, enlisted In a circus and his father
dlil not speak to him for a dozen years.
Mr. Aldrlch lived in England long enough
to grow familiar with the peculiar man
nrs and customs of British audiences,
who, particularly in the provinces, are
often apt to initiate a speaking acquaint
snee across the footlights with their
vaudeville favorites. This rough and
ready familiarity is calculated to discon
cert one at the beginning of the experi
ence, but you soon learn to take It In
food part." says Mr. Aldrlch. "An Amer
ican friend of mine told me that Ills first
Introduction to excessive British hos
pitality entirely upset him. On u certain
Saturday night In Oldham, which is a
large manufacturing cotton centre In
Lancashire, my friend, on making his
Anal bow. was saluted by a volley of
cabbages, cauliflowers, carrots, turnips
and onions bhowered upon the stage.
Absolutely disconcerted, he did not know
fcliat to do whether to resent It as an In
sult or not. A fiiendly property man,
elng rds dilemma, rushed to his rescue
as the curtain descended. 'Vou must'nt
aur.d that,' he said. 'It's a mark of re-J"'-

During one of the performances of "The
Round-TTp," la the AValnut Street The i
tre last week, an incident occurred which
might have proven to bo serious. One of
the most stirring scenes of tho play Is
tho ran ot nn Apache over a cllfr, when
he Is "winged" by the entrapped explor
er. The Ilidinu falls headloilg over tho
painted cliff, finally entangling himself
on a projecting ledge from which ho
hangs suspended for at least a half hour.
During the Tuesday evening perform
ance the actor struck his leg on a pointed
Iron bur, which Inflicted a painful cut.
Rather than destioy tho "picture" the
performer held his position, although suf
fering intense pain, until the termination
of tho act. When his plight was dis
covered ho was carried in a fainting
condition to his dressing room. Un
fortunately the house doctor was not on
the picmlses.
Then "Shep" Camp pitived that an
nctor lias a moie practical side, for he
cleansed and dressed the wound in a
most workman-like manner. Only then
did it become known thut Mr. I'ninp Is
a graduate physician, with a diploma
from a Chicago univeisity. His brother,
who graduated at tho sunie time, is one
of Chicago's eminent surgeons. "Shcp"

PETROOItAD, Oct. 10.
The Russian Wnr Offlce today an
nounced that Marggrnbowa and Lyck,
two Important railroad centres In East
Prussia, had been captured from tho
Germans.
By making their nttack on Mnrggra
bowa from the southeast the Russians
forced tho Germans to abandon their
fortified positions nt Barkalezow on tho
Rospula River, nnd Minister of War
Sukhomllnoff, who lias returned from the
front with Czar Nicholas, declared today
that every German soldier had been
driven from Russia soutli Into the Gov
ernment of Suwalkl.
The Czar was within a dozen miles of
his troops when by a night attack they
captured the town of Blalla. (Blalla Is
fivo miles Inside tho Prussian frontier
nnd 20 miles southwest of Lyck.) The
Commander-in-Chief afterward Issued an
army order declaring the Czar's visit will
inspire every one to new exploits such
as Russia never yet has seen.
The Wnr Office has issued tho following
statement:
"Tho Germans are now on the defensive'.
They have all been driven back Into East
Prussia, and by capturing Lyck and
Murggarbowa we have gained a strategi
cal position which puts tho Germans In
n perilous situntlon.
"On the left bank ot the Vistula our
troops nro now engaged with the Aus
trian nnd German armies. Heavy fight
ing has bn In progress for two days
without definite results. Tho enemy has
hurried heavy forces thero to check our
advance on Silesia, We are maklns
gains."
This announcement has confirmed the
belief thnt tho battle along the Vistula
north of Cracow lias reached a critical
stage.
On the other hand, the Germans are
in forco In Russian Poland, having
reached almost to Warsaw. A German
ofllcial bulletin admits tho Russians are
at Lyck.
Dispatches from Petrograd say that a
now Russian army has arrived at the
frontier near Poson. while nnnthn,-
marching toward Thorn.

PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA
First Concerts to Be Given Next
Friday and Saturday.
Facing what promises to bo the most
prosperous season In Its history nnd with
a subscription list that exceeds the record
one of last year, tho Philadelphia Or
chestra will begin Its loth season on next
Friday afternoon and Saturday evening
at the Academy ot Music.
Tho slight changes in the personnel of
the Philadelphia Orchestra, due to tho
war, will In no respect lessen the quality
of Its performances.
Although Mr. Stokowski has been busy
with the reassembling of his men. it has
not prevented him from prcpaiing Ills
programs for the entire season. As usual,
there will be no soloist at the initial nalr
of conceits on Friday afternoon nnd Sat
urday evening. Tho first number will bo
the familiar overture to Weber's "l)er
Frelschutz," which he wrote aftei ho had
completed tho score ot the opcia.
Mr. Stokowski lias chosen for the open
ing symphony tho second one of Brahms
In D major. The early fortunes of this
second smphouy weie singularly vailous
and contrasted strangely with those of
its predecessor. In Vienna, wheie the
first had been leceived with reseive. the
second achieved an instant almost pop
ular success. The woik might be appro
priately termed the "Vienna Symphony,"
reflecting, as It did. the fresh, healthy life
only to be found in oeauiirul vlennu.
The other numbers selected by Mr.
Stokowski for his llrkt concert are
Sibelius' "The Swan of Tuonela," found
ed on the legend from the Finnish folk
epic, "Kalevata," and which has not been
heard In scleral seasons, and Itimsky
Korsakon's "Caprlccio Kspagnol." Tho
"Caprlcclo" Is dedicated to the liupeiial
Opera at Petrograd, it was this orchestra
which gave the work Its first perform
ance, and the names ot the members, 6i
In all. arc placed upon the title page, ft
Is curious, ro tho way. that tuo-thiids
of all these names are German.

BELGIAN FORTS SHELLED
Bombardment of Towns Near Ant
werp Continues.
LONDON. Oct. 10.-A Central News dis
patch from Amsterdam, timed 1:55 a. m.,
today, says:
"Bombardment of the forts around Con
tlch, six miles south-southeast of Ant
werp, can bo heard easily at Essrhcn.
These forts aro still intact."
A curious phase of the war Is that
many soldiers have takerf nmulets with
them to the front. Heather is. perhaps,
the commonest of such ltick'bringers, be
cause many Scottish soldiers were pre
sented with little bunches by their wives
nnd sweethearts, nnd an enterprising
hawker who turned out with a barrow
load of the growth Into the west end ot
Ixindon did a roaring trade with the
Household nnd other troops. But many
of the men who served In South Africa
pin their faith to "lucky" cinply cart
ridges, Kruger coins, etc.
One of such coins formed part of n
set which, at tho time the order to
mobilize was issued, was in tho keeping
of a pawnbroker. On receiving the call,
the owner obtained his property as soon
as possible and, having pocketed a single
piece from It, went on quite contentedly.
That piece Is dented through having
diverted a bullet In a tight corner In
South Africa.
Of conventional mascots also largo
numbers have been taken to tho theatre
of war, though not nlways in their orig
inal form. A woman brought nn old-
fashioned charm made of gold to n Went
End Jeweler, nsklng him to make It Into
a ring for her husband.
Many family "lucks." moreovr, nre
being carried bv the soldiers. One man
wears suspended from his neck by a. rib
bon a ring which, should Its possessor
bring It back to Englnnd, will have gone
through three campaigns. A young wo
man, who received It from her mother,
gave It to her sweetheart when he was
about to embark for the Soudan; then
another member of tho family carried It
during the war In South Africa, and now
It Is In France.
Another of the "lucks" which accom
pany troops has a remarkable history.
It Is a regimental medal which was bo
stowed on one of Wellington's men for
conspicuous gallantry In Spain, nnd it
has been In nearly all our campaigns
ever since.
A court-martial, sitting nt Kolmnr. In I
Alsace, has sentenced a farmer, named I
Demange, to ten years' hard labor on I
the charge of showing sympathy with '
the enemy. Demange lives In tho dls- 1
trict which wns occupied by the French
troops at the beginning of the war Sub
sequently, the troops withdrew to" French
territory, nnd the German authorities
look drastic measures to punish all Al
satians of French Extraction who dem
onstrated their pleasuro nt tho French
vlctorle.
The charge agnlnst Demange was that
he hoisted the French flag on tils farm
house when the French troops occu
pied that region. Demange denied this
strenuously, declaring that ho merely
placed a white Hag on his roof to Indicate
that hp was a non-combatnnl, and that
no soldiers of either Bide were on hi
farm,
Ono of the anecdotes given out at the
British ofIlcl.il news bureau today as go
ing the rounds of the men at the front,
the truth of which Is In no wlso guaran
teed, deals with a young British cavalrT
otllcer who was cut oft from his men
and who hid In tho woods nt the side of
the road.
Soon he saw a solitary German soldier
patrollng up and down. Tho subaltern
could have shot the German, but It would
have been too much In cold blood for hlnl,
so Instead he moved up behind the Ger
man cautlouslv and then gave him
hearty kick. Tho German, nrrordlng o
the story, jelled and ran for deat llf,
while the subaltern remained behind and
laughed.
How three French soldiers captured
two German quick-firers and put to Might
