THE FAMOUSMIWNIE IN
Something About Palmer Cox unit
His Great Work.
MR. DOUGLAS WHITES OP HIM
Up Has Bccn'.Mr. Cox's Collaborator In tlio
Ktogo Production of the Brownies-How
Those Amusing l ittle People Orluln
ntcd Personality of tlio Author.
I have been asked to tell the readers
of this paper something about I'almer
Cox, nnd his spectacular production of
"The Brownies." There are few house
holds In this country to which he has
not brought pleasure and happiness,
und his fame has spread u n 111 his
name Is a familiar one In every Kng-llsh-speaklntr
land. Ills Lirownlu books
have had an enormous sale, and there
Is hardly a spot on earth to which they
have not found their way. Hut. though
hi.s civatlorui of "The Urownles" nro
familiar to everyone, but very little Is
known of the man. 1 llnd, In my trav
els, a groat di al of curiosity on the part
uf those I meet to hear all they can
conrenitni; him, and I propose In this
brief article to answer Hume of the
uUestlotiH that have been aslted nio
since my arrival In Scranton.
To begin, Mr. Cox Is n of the kind
est, most uffiiHe men I have ever had
the pleasure of knowing. We form our
own Ideas of those who Interest us by
their works, and 1 believe the general
Impression of his countless readers who
have never Been him Is that he Is of
very Kinall stature. On the contrary,
"the Hrownlt' man" Is over six feet, two
Inches In height. He lias a smlllng
plousaiit face, with frank, blue eyes,
and a drooping nioiistai lie which one
enthusiastic little girl, wh saw his
photograph, hus ih-clureil "is the love
liest In. the world." Some fifty years
ago the author of the llrownles was
born on a farm near (iranby, Canada.
Mr. Cox Is a religious mu-ti, und a de
vout Kplscopalean.
"When I think It over," ho has paid
to me, "It seems strung? that I, a rough
farm-boy, with only the plainest kind
of an education, and very few advan
tages, should one day have a stery to
toll to which the whole world would lis
ten." There Is no egotism In these
words, for, to those aeiiuainted with
him, Mr. Cox Is utterly devoid of all
conceit. In his creation of the Brown
ies, h regards himself simply ns an
Instrument In God's hands.
I!i Start in Life.
Mr. Cox's mother died when he was
very young, and his father married
again. His second wife was of Irish
descent, with a rich stock of fairy-lore.
To amuse her step-children, she told
them stories In which goblins, pixies,
and brownies, and other fairy-creatures
llgured. The ones the bny Palmer
Cox liked to hear the most concerned
the, brownies, and he thought a great
d'.ml about them, and even dreamed of
them at night. At school he tried to
draw pictures of them on his slate and
In the lly-Ieaves of his hooka. lie was
passlonatly fond of drawing, and, even
as a child, he longed to be an artist.
But. when Jie grew up, there was the
battle of li,"u before him. Mr. Cox
drifted out, like many another, to the
golden land of promise, California,
where he engnged In the railroad busi
tU'Ki. Tn his moments of leisure he con
tributed to the San Francisco pres.
without remuneration.
Though successful In his occupation,
his old boyish longing to be an artist
was stronger In him than ever. Final
ly an unfortunate Investment swept all
that he had saved away, and he re
solved upon a bold stroke. H decided
to go to New York to engage In liter
ary nnd artistic pursuits. "It was a
good thing that I lost all that money,"
Mr. Cox has since derdared. "If I had
not, I should probably be In California
to this day engaged In the railroad
business, and "The Brownies" would
never have been written."
Origin of the Brownies.
From the first Mr. Cox was success
ful in New York. The Idea of "The
Brownies" re-occurred to him one Oc
tober night, some years ago. He wrote
the first rhymed story about them,
which he called "The Brownies'
Klde," In one evening, nnd afterwards
drew with pen and ink the pictures for
it. He Invariably draws all his pic
tures and writes all his own verse. The
brownie figures are his distinct Inven
tion. "When I sent the first story and
pictures to St. Nicholas," Mr. Cox has
said to me, "I told a friend I believed
there was something that would not
die." Subsequent events havo proved
that he was right.
When the contribution appeared In
St. Nicholas, It met with Instant popu
larity, Letters came pouring In upon
the editor from all sides for more of
the same sort. The result is that,
though Mr. Cox at first did general
literary and art work, he has never
done anything but draw brownies, and
write verses about them, ever since.
The first brownie story appeared about
fourteen years ago, and they were
never more popular than they are at
present. They are to be found In all
sorts of mercantile goods, Rueh as sta
tionery, scarf pins, handkerchiefs,
dolls, rugs, wall paper, etc., and from
the sale of these Mr. Cox derives a
handsome royalty. His Income from
"The Brownies" Is a very large one. Not
long ago he was at a dinner In Brook
lyn, where Ices were served In the
shapes of various brownies. The dude
fell to iMr. Cox's lot, and, though It
may seem horrible to relate, he de
voured him like a cannibal. In doing
so, he first dismembered the dude with
a brownie souvenir spoon.
About tlio Itrownie Play.
A number of well known managers
spoke to Mr. Cox about the great value
of "Tho Brownies" for dramatic pur
poses. Finally, In response to the general
demand, he decided to put them on the
stage. He honored me by choosing me
as his colloborator, my special province
being to supply the music for his text.
Our work was finally completed, after
a year's hard labor. The spectacle
was of such an elaborate scenic nature,
and necessitated the Investment of such
a large fortune, that It was enough to
cause the most reckless manager to
hesitate before embarking In the enter
prise. C. B. Jefferson, Klaw & Er
langer, the well known theatrical firm,
decided promptly to produce It.
It took a great deal more money than
either they or Mr. Cox and myself at
first thought to realize Its magnificent
possibilities. "The Brownies" was first
presented at the Park theater, in Phila
delphia, where It met with Instant suc
cess. Since then It has been witnessed
by enormous crowds, and Its business
has been the largest of any theatrical
company now traveling. In New
Haven recently, a city of 80,000, over
22,000 people saw It in one week, and
the actual receipts were $10,355'.75. The
attraction Is In such demand that in
many cases C. B. Jefferson, Klaw &
Erlanger, Its owners, exact a guarantee
from local managers. In order to se
cure "The Brownies" for his theater,
Arthur Frothlngham has been obliged
to guarantee them that their share of
the four performances this week shall
exceed $::.!W0. I trust that Mr. Froth
lngham's enterprise will be fully Justi
fied. , ' Malcolm Uouglas.
OLIVER TWIST AT ACADEMY.
Given a Fine Presentation by Competent
Actors.
A drnmatlo version of Charles Dick
ens story, "Oliver Twist," was produced
at the Academy of Music Inst night
before a critical audience. Pickens' text
has been faithfully ndhcred to In the
stage production, and all of the strong,
thrllllngs scenes which aro so accurate
ly and realistically portrayed In the
story by Dickens' mnsterly pen, aro as
faithfully portrayed In the ptago pro
duction. Tho predominating Interest
In the drama of course centers nnd re
volves about Nancy and her common
law husband, Bill Sykes, Fngln the
Jew, and Bumble,' tho Parish Beadle.
It Is fortunate for the success of the
drama that these characters have been
assigned to the most competent per
sons. It requires more than ordinary
ability to fully realize the characters
that Dickens drew. Miss Kllta Proctor
Otis, who has been seem here ns Mr.
Kantlako Chupel, In "The Crust of So
ciety," as Nancy Sykes, strengthened
Hie gulden opinions us to her versatility
and cleverness, which her work In tho
role of Mrs. Chapel won for her. She
was art'stlo In everything and In the
scenes with Bill Svkes und Fagin was
emotional and Impressive without lin
ing unnatural. Her greatest bit of act
ing was In the fifth act as she dragged
heivelf from t!v room where Bill Sykeu
h id beaten her nlmo.-t to death. Tim
death scene Is Impressive and true to
the love Nancy feels for her repulsive
partner, she bids him as she dies to
save himself from tho punishment his
treatment of her will bring down upon
him. It was a wed'-aeted scene, anil
was rewarded by thunders of applause.
That competent netor.Charles Barron,
was, of course, admirable as Bill Sykes,
In appearance, g "lure, action and
sp.i'cli he looked and acted the part.
Mr. Barion has played Bill to tho
Nancy of such actresses as Matild.i
Heron, Lucille, Western, Ttose ICtynge
and Fanny Davenport. He faithfully
represents the low order of the London
bully and criminal with a naturalness
that Is wonderful.
Harry O. Carleton's Fagin deserves
to rank with Mr. Barron's Bill Sykes
for Its faithfulness of conception and
naturalness of delineation. V. A.
Mestnyer was excellent as that bulk of
pomposity. Bumble, the Parish Beadle.
Beadle.
The play Is staged in an excellent
manner. several of the scenes being par
ticularly fine.
AFTER 1U; DAMAGES.
Daniel Coghlan and Gcorgo L. Ilrcck Ask
for $30,000 Oumnges.
Action of trespass with the sum of
damages complained of, named at $50,
000, was begun in the oliice of Pro
thonotary Pryor yesterday by Attorney
C. Comegys, representing Daniel Cogh
lan and George I.. Ilrcck, against the
Meadow Brook Water company.
The plaintiffs allege that they are
owners Jointly of n. certain piece of
land along the Stafford Meadow brook,
situated between Pittston and Prospect
avenues, and as riparian owners of the
land In question the Stafford Meadow
brook stream was of great value to
them, until, on April 15, 1W9, the de
fendant company began thu construc
tion of a dam and other obstructions
across the brook above the point where
the lands of the plaintiffs begin; the
same is done for the purpose of supply
In? water to the citizens of Scranton.
My reason of this dam and other ob
structions, It Is alleged that the accus
tomed How of water has been greatly
diminished, which fact deprives the
plaintiffs of the use of water power for
any purpose they should desire to use it.
TWO DAMAGE SLITS.
Brought to Recover Damages from Erie
und Wyoming Valley Hailrond Co.
Two trespass suits of $10,000 each
were begun yesterday afternoon in
court against the Erie and Wyoming
Valley Itallroad company. Thomas B.
Orchard Is the plaintiff In one of the
suits, and his wife, Mrs. Cora I.
Orchard, Is the plaintiff in the other.
E. C. Nawcomb and John F. Reynolds
are the attorneys In the case.
The suit Is based on injuries alleged
to have been received by Mrs. Orchard
while alighting from a a train at Pau
pack crossing on the Krle and Wyom
ing Valley railroad. he purchased a
ticket in this city to Paupuek and
claims that when she was In -the act of
stepping from the platform of the car,
the train started up and she sustained
such injuries as have since been the
occasion of great sickness and rendered
her sore and disordered. It Is alleged
to have been done through the careless
ness, un'-'kllfullness and negligence of
the company.
Her husband sues for the loss of her
services.
IN LOCAL THEATERS.
K. H. Rothern and his company will
be seen at the Academy of Music to
night In "Captain Ivottarblalr," In
which they scored such a tremendous
success in New York city. The drama
Is highly interesting and Mr. Sothern
has a congenial role in the young Irish
oflicer, which he plays with a sweet
Irish brogue, yi-t without vulgarizing
the peculiarities of speech as Is too fre
quently done. Idtarblalr Is a gentle
man, and Mr. Sothern plays him us
such.
II II II
One of the most successful farce-comedies
of the season Is "A Railroad
Ticket," which comes to the Academy
of Music Saturday evening. Undoubt
edly the chief reason for Its pronounced
success Is that It Is tilled with fun.
From start to llnls'.nthe food for laugh
ter Is dealt out ivlth lavish hand. Of
the best and fetching kind Is the mu
sic. Mechanical adjuncts are an elec
tric car, fully equipped, well filled with
passengers and In rapid motion, and, a
ralnmaklng machine In operation.
