THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY. HECEMBER 21, 3898. It! JOSEPH JEFFERSON AS ACT0RAND MAN INTERESTING CA11EEU OF A FAMOUS ENTERTAINER. It Was an Evolution from Humble Beginnings, nnd Success Sid Not Como Until It Had Been Won by the Hardest Kind of Hard Work and Sacrifice The. Inception of the Role of Rip Van Winkle. From the Chicago Tlmos-Ilorald It doti not run within the memory of the ordinal y oldest inhabitant when the name of .Teffeison did not appear nomevvliero on the American playbill. The present bearer of the lllustilotw name was born Itf the year 1S29, which Is in the ery long ago, but at that time his-grandfather was Just roflilns from a career of unbroken popularity, nnd hit father wai in the niUM of n lltful Philadelphia season whlcli was pometlmes up and sometimes down. Ills mother was a favorite in her dny, and eo all along the line, and by all the rules of heredity, the pon was des tined to ba a theatrical man of some kind. 3To wn3 born on the 20th (lav of February, which according to astrol ogy is a good day, and according to all the fncts at hand, nnd the memory of Mr. Jefferson himself. Ills public carper began very shortly after tint lncldnt The back entrv way of the flit build ing in Washington, Into which the fam ily moved, opened on the stage door of a rickety old theater which stood Just across the nlley He nnd such other children as lie was Inclined to favor had the entree, Mr .Wfeisoii sajlng in his autobiognphj that his cnllest lecollectlons cluster about the conentlonal Pay of Naples, with Ve suvius smoking, which hung against the back wall of this thPtt, and the section of the Roman fotum and p.iplc mit he Corinthian columns which were of great service In the homely game of hide and seek. HIS DiEBUT. Theie is a UHIp controeisy, lurgelv due to the variations in the traditions as related by vailoim members of the family, a i to Mr .Teifei son's osn ic collections, jut when he made his debut. Theie is nhniut a preponder ance of evidence that lie went upon , the htage first as a p rty b.ab In the atms of one of the merry villagers, but at that time his lole was consider ably less een than a walking part. His next appearance, being then 3 or 4 j pars old, was In a child's pait, a cnptlvo on the sOiouldei of the dashing Holla, who was lleelng ocr a shaky bridge amidst sh . and shells fiom ev erybody on the tage The din and confusion was ne to the young actor, and In his deslie iO hold fast to some thing he elzed with loth hands Holla's false hcalp and clung to it It event ually wmo off, and forthwith tha most tragic melodrama was turned in a howling comedy, since Holla un made was a cry bad man. A less ambitious baby was seemed for the next night, and Mr Jeffoibon made no more appeaiances that nie recoided until about 1S33, when T. D. Rice Moat ed into Washington to do n burnt cork act undei the title of "Jim Crow " The act not only taught the town, but young Jopeph, being a little inoie than 4 decided it was the best thing he had everJeen. The glimpse he had of Hlce at a lehearsal was enough for hlin, his quick wit grasping the intilcuelps of the Jim Crow dame at once Hlce was nmared and amused, and uiy soon the biby's face was blackem'il, and, boine to tho footlights In a sack, young Joseph Jefferson was emptied out head first drssc d to do his imitation min strel nil This piiklninny oct netted him about Jil in coin thrown from the boxes and pit Mr JnflPi'son humorously wiites that his good father, who ueei had Inclination to high or sob always claimed he had put the $34 In some bank name not iccorded and that It was to be the beginning of his for tune Theie was nothing In the family outlook at that time which seemed to warrant the prediction that even so largo a start would ever glow to the proportions suggested, but without any figures from Mr. Jefferson himself the public is now glad to insist that his estate Is woith at least $2,000 000. BOYHOOD TROUBLES. Mr. Jefferson's ability to make money did not appear -very early in his life, although an a boy he was cdnstuntlv Mining great pain In order to squeeze a bit or salve In the f-hape of a penny fiom the thin parental wallet. His bt other, Charlie, seems to base been the real financier cf the boyhood days, when they livid for a time In Ilaltl moie. Joseph had lecelved fiom omo large-souled phllantluopist a sixpence eo badly worn that he could not pas It. Joseph tried seveial times to make a dicker with the sixpence, but each' time he was unsuccessful He told Charlie about It, with gieat oncern, and Charlie at once ioe to be n Na poleon of finance. He, like .onie of the brokeis of this dav, had a way in which Joseph might double Ills money, let alone bringing bach the erased let tering on tho coin. With gieat mys tery he told Joseph to go back into the back yard nnd buiy the pieco about six Inches under the ground He was then to mark the spot veiy plainly, keep the Investment a peifect pec jet, and wait for deelopments, being as sured that when he should dig up tho treasure It would be at least a shilling possibly two. Joseph followed tho brokers' advice to the letter When the time had expired in which the money was to double itt-elf he started to dig for it, and then a great lloht eemed to come Into his soul 7t sud denly dawned upon his mind how it had happened that Charlie had been Cold Dust does it.

The Jeffersons lived in New York and other eastern cities wherever there was acting and managing to bo dono until 1S39 That year tho father, perpetual ly allured by uomothlng great Just about to happen, decided to try the west. An uncle of Joseph's hod pie viously located In Chicago. The vil lage was Just then taking upon Itself cltv airs, and among them was a new theater. The uncle wiote n glowing letter on tho grent prospect of Chi cago, and uiged the elder Jefferson to bring his family and all lie owned Into the new settlement and share with him the management oi tho new play house Jefferfon, pere, wanted to start the same dny the letter reached him. Joseph was then 10 years old. There wab gieat luuiylng and gieater hope, as tho whole household and the mom beis of the company, who had not been paid any saint y for some time, began to dispose of little treasures In order to be able to get faie for the canal boatf-i and lake boats and stages It was necessaiy to do a few one-night "lands along the loute in older to keep on the loute, but after many vicissi tudes nnd trials the playeis landed In the new town of about 2.R00 Inhabi tants Mi. Jefferson says all tho com pany was delighted with tho airange- menty of tho new house, the staga being fitted with appliances and ttapu so convenient that the dead Ophelia could walk from her ginve to tho dress ing room with but a few steps. "After a short -eason of varying sue cehS ' Is the best Mr Jeff ei son can sav of his father's company's Hist engage ment In Chicago Joseph Jefferson drew $li",000 In one week, and that after "Hip Van Winkle" had been seen In Chicago for sixteen pi ev ions seasons FIRST APPEARANCF This mnn appeared so long ago in Chicago that it ii not likely theie Is a mnn in town who kiw him when ho made bis debut In the first old wooden building.

Theie weto not enough set tlements to make one-night stands, which would hae been considered a blessing In those days The elder .Tef feison rode in fiont with the scenciy, and Mrs. Jeitorson and Joseph and the lest of the tioupe rode In tho last wagon with the trunks Thcv weie nil happy, because It Is the Jeffeiton Jia tuio to be happv ulwas It seemed nothing could turn them back, nnd when one sleigh which carried the set tings went through tho ice ot the Mis sissippi while they weie crossing fiom Galena to Dubuque, the father thought he was the luckiest man on earth be cause the accident had happened over a sandbar A lot of men were sent to lescue it and in a short time tho com pany was at its tegular lepeitoiy hav ing dried and repainted the classic: shields, unlfoims and make-ups Du buque proved a good town, and the company went on through the new eastern clicult into Spilngfipld and the fiiendsh'p of binham Lincoln.
