He sup- plies the nighes quarters for the actors such as no self respecting slave owner Ww ould in the old days have condemned & slave to occu dy. For the pablic nothing is too good. For the actor, on the other hand, any- thing is good enough. Instead of silken draperies, he finds only a tatterssl cur- tain at the window, if indeed he find a curtain 1 - which it might cover at all, or even a window Instead «ff soft, comfortable chairs, one wooden chair none too clean, or & chalr minns a back, will be the only seat, and - not infre quently, if be wishes to sit down, he must do so oh his trunk Instead of delis ately tinted walls, he will find dirty walls which have pot been. treated even to a coat of whitewash for years. While in the auditorium a soft carpet covers the floor, in the actor's room a carpet rarely exists, ar, if by chance there be something which once was a carpet, it is so dirty that it would be better away. The washing appliances of the actor's room, if they are found at all usually consist of a sinall basin with a tap of running water, Most people wenld ex: pect that, as the winter is the theatrical season and the paints used by the ac tors are made with grease, hot walay would be at hand. But this is rarely the case, and in mu ny instances. rasning water in the dressing roms is nn known. It is not sneommon for actars to refrain from: using the basins, preferring to re- move the ‘makeup’ as well as possible with vaseline ahd to wait until the hotel is reached to complete this portion of the toilet. Tin basins and buckets are not the worst that [ have seen ‘ob the road,’ for once the water was in dirty, battered, old lard tins, and basins had to be bought by our manager. —Foram. kuéw from Lis costume that he was a | novel,” said J. 8.
