RICHEST WRITER LIVING.
Only Man Who Evor Fish od 81,
OOO.OOO Out of an Ink Pot.
tut?rvlrw with Sardou?What th* Qrcat
cat of Xoilorn I'lay wrlctitu Has to
Sur Ai.out ills Uraioai and
How He Write* Them.
ICOPTIUGHT, lft'?.1
Vlctorien Sardou is probably thi*
only man who over fished u million
dollars out of tut ink pot with a p*'tt
tBut. besides beinjf tbo richest writer in
fthc world, ho is also the "Teiltest
'writer in his line. Certainly there is
no other playwright whocan beclasse I
(with him. Ami to be rieh ami to be
ffreat are two widely differing things
?l am told that the richest writer in all
'America is a man who has devoted his
life to blood-und-thunder novels, sohl
in yellow covers for a dime each.
An interview with Sardou is an
achievcnuMit. Ho is not uiiuocessiblc
'.to anyone hut newspaper men. The
.public can get at him with little
'trouble. But for him to receive a man
wlio wants to write about him is nut
usual.
There is probably no character iu Iiis
<lratuus credited with a life more dra?
matic than hi-- lias really been. He
choso medicine for his profession at
(first, and that greatly pleased his r< la
lives. Uut ouo day be was asked to
write somcthiug for reading at .in en?
tertainment, and In: wrote a tragedy
which everyone who heard it applaud?
ed. That ended Iiis, study of medicine.
Instantly In- becatuo imbued with the
.idea thut he must write plays, His rel?
atives were not pleased, No ho did as
he wanted to, and paid no attention !?>
the people who wanted him to do other?
wise. Then began a struggle full of
misery und poverty.
Tho tragedy winch had been re?
ceived with so much delight by his
friends in tho country village in tin
south of Prance was not looked upon
with equal favor by the theatrical
manuirors of Paris. Indeed lie could
tijid no one \vh > would produce it on
the stage, nnd In- was greatly dlsnp
pointed, lie tried to Und out whj it
was rejected, and suddenly realised
that he hud no veal practical knowl?
edge of play writing. llo at once saw
that it was absurd for him-to try t.>
make a success of a profession of which
he know nothing, and so ho began to
study tho art of preparing stories for
presentation on tho stage as carefully
at; he would have hud to study medicine
in order to prootire his diploma. Tw o
or three years he worked tit it before
ho thought he wus far enough ad?
vanced to write a play which would
do for submission to a manager.
Thau he wrote '?The Students'
Tavern," and. wonder of won?
ders! found a manager who accepted
it. and produced it! Hut the play was
n dire failure. It seemed to tho young
playwright thut he had readied the
end of all things, and inns', die. In?
deed, he wiis not without reason for
discouragement. For mouths ho had
half starved himself ha order to he nbh
to write the piny. lie had spared
neither hunger nor cold in order to
makv the manuscript a possibility, und
for it to fail completely was horrible,
lie brooded over the unexpectedly
tragic climax of his comedy, and fell
into serious illness. 13o was only saved
from death by tho unselfish and intel?
ligent nursing which ho received at the
hands of a young lady ?>f his acquaint?
ance upon w hom In- hud no claim what?
ever. Ity and by, after tie got well
n^ilin. he married her. No prettier love
story is tqld in auy of his plays.
After he had received his strength
and courage ho induced Paul Feval to
collaborate with him in wrhiug "be
liossu," a historical drama, which did
not create a sensation, although Foval
rnarlo n good novel but of the plot. For
some time after tlu- second disappoint?
ment, Sardou's poverty was as great n
bctorc. But better timescamo and when
they did come they come with a hearti?
ness that surprised the young author us
greatly as it pleased him. "Candido"
nnd "Lcs Premieres Armes do Figaro"
were both produced ?t the Theater
Hejaaet, and both succeeded. Their
production was brought about by the
Little nurse whom tho young author had
?married She was the bosom friend ?>!
Mile. Dejazet. Quickly following these
two plays appeared the famous "Pattes
do Moucche," known in America as \
- Scrap of Paper"?the play iu which the
KenilaJs pleased the dour Yankee pub
? lie so well. I am told that Sardou had
made up his mind to stand or fall by
this play. Had it failed lie would have
emigrated to America and have taken
?up some other prof, ?ssion. Hut it suo- i
cecded. Thus America lost ono of tho
tuest brilliant men of the century, and j
the world gained her greatest modern
playwright.
To follow his career from the time
when the success of "A Scrap of Pa?
per" determined it, would be merely to
writo a chronological list of su.fnl
plays. For the present it may be more
interesting' to turn to the man himself.
Sardou is short, with nerves -uper
evideut In cvorytbing about him, from
I his smoking jacket to his ey es. Tbo
. handkerohief which be wear.-, knotted
. arcund his nock is an unfuiling barom?
eter of his state of mind. Actors nn?
? friends have learned to study the na?
ture of the knot and to learn thereby
? -how the great man happens to be look
Iing at tho world that day. Color, too,
I plays its part in this important featuro
I, of the playwright's dress. At his homo
% 'ov tho Rue. do Mudrid in Paris, and at
hi? country placo at Marly, ho wears a
S red handkerchief. At the theater he
wears a white one. So if Sardou gc-nt
WMy Unwinds his red handkerchief from
.'?bout his neck while he is talking to
? srou in. his study and jjuU in its niace a*
white one, you may take, wo action i?t
a polite dismissal. It means that the
time has come for the call to end und
for his work at tho theater to begin.
His home in Paris <? by no nivuus a pre?
tentious one. The drawing-room is
hung with line tapestries, and has in it
some wonderful bric-a-brac. Jtut it is
a simple and unostentatious place
when commired with houses ' 'to those
of ISihite Zola. The study is a great,
airy room, full of licht, and littered
with boohs nnd newspapers: a hind of
orderly litter, Nunlou Is as >godd it
business man as ho is a playwright, and
the litter is of the sort that iqight be
found in the office of a railroad presi?
dent. His table is larjjo, and the chair
at one side of it is definitely devoted to
the writing of plays. A smaller ehuir
<>u the other side serves for letter writ?
ing and other comparatively unimpor?
tant coin post I ion.
When Surdou begins t<> talll tlu< vis?
itor feels as if n battery had suddenly
beeu let loose, and the air charged
with craekliug electricity, I have
never met a person whose pcrtsonul
magnetism is so irresistible. Hvcn
Sarah Uernhnrdt's influence is weaker
than Sarddu's. lie talks as If he wore
on the stage, and as If his conversation
were n drama. Every seutence is acted
out. tine word crimes low a 11(1 whim?
pered through half-closed lips, while
t lie dramatist leans forward, with his
arms akimbo, ntitl bis bauds spread
like the claws of an eagle oil his kllUOS.
Every atom of him, from his big, oasv
slippers to his inevitable silk skull cup.
quivers with eagerness. The Impres?
sive utterance is followed by 0 pause,
which seems to say : "Let that sink
I I
"I am not at work on any definite
play now,'' he said to me. "I am not
writing a play dealing with Louis
XVII. ami Iiis time. lVrlmps I may
write auch a play sometime, but I am
not more likely u> choose that subject
and that period than I urn to choose
any one of a dosei other times and pe?
riod*. My uext work will lie a play for
Sarah -Sarah, the divine llernlmrdt. I
may have that ready in about eighteen
months."
Then M. Surdou explained why it
was that he was in such doubt us to tho
subject of his next play. He spoke as
if he had not u dozen but it hundred
piny a all ready to be written, and ns if
it ?.-. ere merely it matter of judgment as
to w Incn should be selected anil Unshed
up at ? UICO.
l,l have been collecting my muteriul
for many years." he explained. "Sec, 1
have it. in the mass over hen: in this
cabinet."
Like a bird, he flew over to a bi{?
cabinet at the other s,ido of the study
and began showing iL* contents to me.
Such a treasure bouse! Here were note*
and sceneries for more than eighteen
plays, all classified and ready to bo
knocked into actable shape.
"Itnt that is not all," he cried, glee?
fully. IIS he let. the sheets of embryonic
plays slip lovingly through his. lingers.
"Oh, nol that is by no means all. Sec
here! Do yon believe that 1 guess when
I write about the characters in history?
Do you think I am ignorant of the
lives, the doings, the very foibles of
the great people whom l put upon the
Stage? I)o you? Then, see these.
Here is what my yours of study have
taturht me about Robesuicrru. See. this
VIOTORIEN BARDOU.
? loon into your soul. Never forgot it."
Tho next instant Sardou springs up
lilco a rubber ball- The point Iih . been
reached where a declamatory effort is
to bo desired. It comes comes in
the full voice of a practiced speak?
er, pitched somewhat high, but
still of a most pleasant iutouation.
It is delivered while the play?
wright stands smilingly conscious
that bis point is it good one. with arms
opened in emphasis and head tilled.
The subsequent pause leaves the mat?
ter wholly to the hearer, but leaves it
in such away that the bearer would
obviously bo stupid if be did Hot Bp
prcciate the facts us stated and the
deduction as drawn, Pcval says that
when the struggling youth went to ash
him to collaborate on "Le llosstt" he
told bis .story of the play with as much
dramatic tiro as an accomplished ncloi
could have shown. Tho same is true of
whatever he says. At rehearsals of his
plays ho is not only stage manager, but
he i* also comedian, villain, lirst ,>;d
man, second old woman, star, soubrct to.
until every member of the company
knows what lie or she must do. und
knows exactly how it must be done
Sardou m ts t be parts with consummate
art and with a versatility that is not
le.ss than amazing. Thus, al.-.o, he acts
his conversation, ?
I IB -ny notcooolc on KapOleoft. flora

?ji I searched the old house out. and
myself made a most careful sketch of it.
vi that I should have it if 1 ever Deeded
it."
This developed another of the famous
playwright's talents He is an accom?
plished pencil artist. This ability has
j been of great ndvuutago to him in the
j planning of theatrical scenery.
''That is the basis of my work," he
J went on. "The notes and the pictures
? are the foundation of my house, and I
J should bo very much obliged to you if
yon would do me the favor of correct
? inu' a misslntcment which has kieCn
j made in America concerning my IliCth
' ods. It is not true that 1 urn gcttiufi* so
?AJUKtU AX LUKCU IS ill* STUDY*
oiuttiut i cannot write the plays for
which I have orders, or thut I do more
work then it would bo possible for one
man t<> accomplish. I was very much
grieved when 1 saw that such things
had been printed in America. The
fact is this: For years 1 have hired
clerks to do some of the routine work
oi <tutu gathering, it would liuve been
ubsurd for me not to huve done so. Do
you expect u banker to go out and
make his collections in person? Ever
since I have had aaoaey enough I have
hud souio of this work done for me. As
long us I live I shall continue to save
myself us much of the disugrccublo
routine us possible. That is ull the help I
have over permitted anyone else to give
me on my plays, except, of course,
wh'-re 1 huve written plays in collabo?
ration with other writers. That is all
the help I ever shall have on any play,
unless the pieco is announced on the
hills us the joint work of another man
aud myself.
"L5ut I have drifted from my sub?
ject, i min you now i built mo tounaa
tion for my house. Then the struc?
ture itself goes up iu this way: 'Sup?
pose that 1 have selected my plot and
my datu from that cabinet." He waved
his baud toward that wonderful piece
of furniture us if It eontuined unlimited
plots and facts enough to Uccp the
btugo full for the next century.
"Then I sot to work to map out what
may bo called tho situations. This is
done on a very few sheets of foolsenp
paper. It is perhaps the slowest and
hardest part of the work of play build?
ing. It sometimes tukes me a loug
time. When I his is once done, I send
it to my copyist, and he straightens out
all the corrections, all the erasures, and
makes it legible. I malte a great many
corrections on this first draft, and
sometimes they so deface my manu?
script that 1 can scarcely read it my?
self. When he returns the copy to nie.

I have done. Thon I take that Copy

Sardou is now sixty-four yours old.
lie docs not look quite as old as that,
but still there are wrinkles in his face
and his tlltu (lowing hair has nuiny
t luces of white in it. lint younger eye
never looked out of a twenty-five-year
old head. No younger tongue ever told
good stories and discussed the drama
with an American new.-paper man. No
yonnper step ever glided over a Parish, u

Iii-, relations toward America are pc
culiar and pleasant. I hoy may be saiii
to have begun when he met an Amer?
ican girl in Paris and found Ln her the
basis of a comedy which he called
"Uncle Sam." This play was most
good-natured, and in every sense free
from offense, but tin- I rench govern
incnt. probably because of some potty
intrigue, interdicted i' . performance in
Paris on the ground thai, to caricature
t he manners of tin- people of u friend;-,

Put an enterprising American mnuugci
w ho had seen a rehearsal of the play,
recognized the absurdity of the thcorj
that America is not big enough to take
a joke, ami bouclit it for production in
the very country which the Kreuch of?
ficials claimed to l>e afraid of ofTond
in;.'. Ho brought it out in JCo-.v York,
and it made on immense success. This,
of course, settled the question of it.
giving offense, ami it was promptly
produced in Paris. It succeeded as well
there as it had iu the I'nltcd States.
"Therrdidor," M. Sardou'sother inter?
dicted play, it will be remembered, was
also performed in the 1 nilcd State...
after it had been stopped in France.
Miss Klsie Pc Wolff was the plucky
actress to give it to Now York, ai d
while it was nol a ploy oror which the
United states could be onto enthusi?
astic, it was still a pleasant thing- to
Sardou for il to have boon performed
there. Concerning "Thermidor," which
caused him to withdraw- from the Coin?
cide Frnncaisc, and which is a very sore
spot with the playwright, be said:
"The play was not written ugaiust
the revolution or against republican
ism. It was written against the assas?
sin und the guillotine. I made distinc?
tion between the terror and the revo?
lution, particularly between the mur?
derous phase of the terror aud the revo?
lution. The piece was approved by the
minister of public instruction, but a
few politicians like Constnns and Frey
eine! were ben! in Boeing only an at
tack on the republic in it; and they
appealed to President CarnOt, who
signed a decree against it."
Then Sardou lounged back in his
chair and laughed.
"Look at Ibobo fellow-, now," he went
on. "Frcyclnct, Constans, Itourgeois.
lire out of power and out ..f public no?
tice, while Carnot fell at the 11111111--id
an assassin?at the hands of the very
class inj play pioachid against."
"Itut." I ashed. "Is it possible that
you and the Coincdie Frahoalse are to
bo forever divorced?"
,. "The. .people at the Comcdic Frau
calso nave said to me: 'We are ready
to pluy this play and that play of
yours,'" ho answered, "but I tell
them 'No. Your government said that
I should not be received as a guest in
your caravansary, and until the min?
ister of publie instruction writes what
amounts to a lettex of apology concern?
ing- tho "Therinldor" affair, none of
my pieces shull bo plnyed at the Corn?
ed io Fruncuise.'" Then Surdou added
what, If translated into United States
English, might bo expressed as: "And
don't you forget it!"
"Have you any general advice to
give to young playwrights?" I asked.
"Yes. Respect tradition. There Is
one set of laws running' through and
governing all really great dramatic
compositions, from Eschylus and Hopho
cloa through Shakespeare and Cue the.
Respect these lows, and great plays
can be written. Disregard them, aud
failure is almost certain."
