The youth who wishes to marry a girl presents to her, at tihe country feast, an apple In which he has put a gold coin. If the young girl ac cepts the lover she takes a bite of the apple and keeps the coin which It con tains. After which the lovers dajice together the national dance, the "Kolo."

TOTTER She Tells How Vietorlcn Sardou Came ot Suggest That She Appear in the Char acter of Charlotte Corduy-Her Conception of the Hole. Mrs. Cora Urquhart Potter, who ap peared at the Academy of Music Tues day night as Charlotte Corday. pos sesses an Interesting personality. She is striving hard to be a greut actress and though she lacks the fire anil in spiration that genius Imparts, she Is destined within a few years to occupy a commanding place among the act resses of the country. She is persistent In her efforts to master her art und has the advantage of the guidance nnd Instruction of Kyrle Bellew, her star ring partner, who occupies a position many rungs higher on the dramatic ladder than Mrs. Potter. Whatever may be said nhout Mr. Bellew's qualities as a man his ability as an actor can not with justice be questioned. Ills work shows finish and though ful consideration of the charac ter lie Impersonates. He does not over do a scene or tear a passion to tatters to win applause from the gallery. Ills aim Is to make his acting art, not sim ply work. Mrs. Potter Is fair and glrfish to a wonderful degree considering the fierce onslaughts that have been made on her from nil quartern. Her face, eyes or manner give no evidence of care or worry or that for ten years she has lived In the strong lime light of pub licity. But for a few threads of gray which appear in the mass of nut brown hair that falls In graceful, nat ural waves over her low, broad brow one might imagine he was conversing with u maiden standing In the charmed valley where girlhood and womanhood meet. During a chat with the writer Tuesday night Mrs. Potter said: "I never refer to my life olt the stage nor to my past when talking for publi cation. My private life I believe be longs to myself. I know I have been criticised, most severely, too, for no one realizes that more keenly than I. There Is much that I could say that would throw a far different light on events that have paused Into history, but 1 never hud the slightest desire to cleanse any soiled linen before the public gaze. On the stage It Is my nlm to please the public, and there I believe my duty to the public ends. I have never sought to use my past as a means of advertising me, but have ever been desirous of elng Judged solely on my merits as an actress. "Yes, I like the role of Charlotte Corday, though not so well as some of the Shakespearean rides I have been seen In. Charlotte is a fascinating charncter that grows upon one ns It Is 1'itnrted. It was Vlctorlen Sardou, the great French dramatist, who first sug gested that I nppear In such a role. We were In the Louvre examining some of the gems of art it contains when we caime to a picture of Charlotte Curday. Sardou was Impressed with my rueni blance to the picture land suggested that she would make an admirable cen tral figure for a drama In which he thought I would appeal' to advantage. 1 asked him to write such a drama for me, but he declined. "It was just about that time that S ATUK DAY MORNING, JO., c f-t-,f.f-.. lbs: p-H-S" M i u L- i- 3BT- ( HH ' r- - n-i . - iSSi .0. ,--8--S-- Sardou's 'Thermidor,' dealing with tho period of the French revolution was produced at the Comedle Franoals and created such a whllwind of ipposttlon that all Paris was aroused. Thereupon Sardou vowed that he would never again pen a drama that even so much as touched on the French revolution of the last century and consequently he had to decline to make Charlotte Cor day a suitable figure for the stage. The task was consigned to cither hands. "Charlotte Corday was a most re markable young woman whose wholu life history Is comprised in the one great act she did for France. I try in outward appearance, expression and aotlon to give theiaotual young woman who rid her country of Mana.t nnd my conception of the "character has, of course, been criticised. I have been told that I reproduce an Impossible young woman, but I do not believe that this is true. It must be borne In mind that Charlotte Corday was nut an en tirely rational being at the period with which the drama has to do. Of a quiet, reserved and thotlghtful nature, she dwelt upon the miseries her country en dured until by the' gradual evolution of forces nt work in her young mind she name to believe herself an instru ment In the hand of the Almighty like Judith and Joan D'Arc of old are said to have been. "It is such a person that I attempt to reproduce for such u being I am con vinced wa:i Charlotte Corday. Do I like the wage? Yes, for one musit live, you know, and to dive one must work. I think my talent lies In the direction I am pursuing, therefore the stage will continue to be my home." The Chicago Herald Is not sanguine as to the success of "Trilby" on the stage. "There Is a well-grounded Im pression," It says, "that 'Trilby' drama tized would be bare bones with no flesh and not a sign of life that could be recognized by a surglco-dramntlc detective. If Du Maurier achieves some resemblance to Thackeray In his treat ment of the characters In 'Trilby' it must follow that ns wsb notably true of the great Englishman his fiction will not be easily reduced and revised for stage use. But to this conclusion Mr. Palmer does not usesnt, nnd as his unerring Judgment was disclosed In his refusal of 'Shenandoah,' which only re alized a paltry half a million to those who did waste their time In producing It nnd In other Incidents of n long janitorial career. It may be foolhardy to dissent from his opinion. Many novels have been dramatized, and a few such efforts have achieved success, but s a rule the descriptive essence and spirit of a novel Is Its most no table charm, and with this sacrificed but little remains. It will seem to many that this Is a fact applicable to 'Trilby.1 and even if there were not a doubt at this point some will question the value to the stage or such u character." . Joseph JefTerson, the first of Ameri can comedians. Is soon to ret.lre from the stage forever. He will piny for a bref season atid then "the gayety of the nation will be wllpsed" so Tar as this cleverest of the modern mummers Is concurned. He will, according to a Chi cago contemporary, have a big testi monial, a monnter tribute of hi artistic womMi by members of the profession which ho has so long and honorably adorned. The tribute would be given more enduring shape If the suggestion of John Drew, mow starring In, "The Bauble Shop," himself an eminent comedian and one or a family illustri ous for its contribution to the brilliant elde xf idruimaitlc art, was followed. "Wenll love and are proud of Joe Jef ffson," said Mr. Drew, "and I don't believe there is ny tribute too great that we could give him. My (Idea of the pleasure which hi acting has given ' TV 11 D.C. al Pint. ' ' .fFiit I1" ilfffltw ;JU" JANUARY 2 G, 1895. --2 EJ 5 -afFP- -tip m- -m- -fi 2 :m0 t ; r. l; 1. v n to this and preceding generations is to gather Into an Immense album, or series of albums, the faces of Mr. Jef ferson's friends and the sentiments which the comedian's acting has in eplred Ini each. An ithere would be nothing cheap or claptrap in such u testimonial, nobody, not even President Cleveland himself, who Is a close friend of Mr. Jefferson, need be ashamed of joining In It. This Is my idea of a popu lar tribute such as Mr. Jefferson de serves from the American stage and the American public." Speaking of Japan, the great actor of that country is named Donjurd, and he owns, at Toklo, a theater whloh will seat 3,000 persons. This theater, says the Atlaivta Constitution, has no chairs, and the people sit on the tloor In little square pens about four feet wide. There is usually a little box of charcoal in Che middle of each pen for th e light ing of ithelr pipes, and there Is no ob jection to smoking. The stage Is made In the shape of an Immense wheel, which Is turned by man power at the change of the scenes, and which moves one set of actors behind the scenes and brings another before you. The Bttpes come on during the play to fix the clothes of the actors. They are dressed In black and you are not sup posed to see them. The Japanese ap preciate good acting. They roar with laugliter over the comedies, and a strong piece of tragedlc acting brings shouts of applause, and the people tear off pants of their clothing and throw them onto the stage, expecting to re deem them with presents of money nt the end of the play. There are no tick et offices, and you get your ticket at the tea houses near by. The plays be gin In the morning and last until night. The shoes are all left outside in the hall, and on going In you pass by 3,000 or 4,000 wooden clogs, which are marked with checks. The Japanese women go bare headed. FOOTL1GHT FLASHF.S: Frank James, the ex-bandlt, Is to star in a now melodrama. Mark Price has won his suit for breach of contract from Marie Burroughs. John Drew will play throunhout the en tire season of lStD- in New York city. "A Yeniilno Yentlemen" is the name of Gus llcene's new play. It Is rumored that Gus will play the leading role. There Hre now live theaters In New York where you pay 1 each for the best seats In the bouse. The Umpire, Abbey's, Fifth Avenue, Italy, Herald Square. "An Ideal Husband," Oscar" Wilde' new comedy, had Its tirst production at the Hayniarket theater. In London, recently. The Aineiicun rtchts to this ijlay are owned by Daniel Frohman. Bronson Howard's new comedy will not be produced this season, In consequence of the success of "Masqueraders," and Charles Frohman has paid the playwright l&.liOO to postpone the production of the piece until next December. Bob Hllllnrd has dramatized Richard Harding Davis' "Her First Apieaiance" under the name, "The Littlest Ulii," and will produce It soon as a curtain raiser. Billiard and Davis talk of collaborating on a three-act play, having Van Bibber us Charles II. lloyt, who Is a member of the New Hampshire legislature, Is ar ranging to take his entire company, now playing "A Black Sheep" In Boston, to Concord, N. 11., to nlve un afternoon per formance before the luwinakers. A spe cial train will carry tho company and staff of the Park theater. Including the ushers, to Concord, und return with them to Boston In time for the eveultqf per forn'ante. The American Dramatists' club Is about to prcpuro and print a complete I In t of all plays ami operas on which royultle are now asked. It Is the purpose of the American Dramatists' club to place this list, together with other matter concern ing the legal ownership of plays, In the oHlee of every theater, opera house and hull In the United States. It is hoped by this means to check the piracy of plays by establishing a atandard of reference for all play and opera on which roy alties are collected. - . id) K 1- 3 . j? e -dL- a- - .9-$- Vf. , Hand Sleighs, Baby Sleighs, Clippers, Alligators, Self-Steering Sleighs, Steel Sleighs, Iron Sleighs, AND THE FAMOUS Paris Hill Oak Sleighs In Clippers and Bent Wood Knees und the .Montrose Gas Tubing Sleighs.
