By one meaning it ih a person so extraordinary as to excite wonder or astonishment. By the other meaning it is a monster. Accord ing to some of his enemies, Richard Mansfield perhaps fits the latter defini tion, but in truth he does not. That he is an extraordinary person who has excited both wonder and astonishment for years is strictly true When the news was sent out a few days ago from the great north woods of New York state that the famous actor was lying seriously ill in a little cottage, broken in body and mmd, pathetically calling for his stage costumes and mumbling over some of the lines of his chief triumphs, the thought occurred to more than one person that the life of a successful tragedian may be in itself a tragedy In the world of artistic en deavor triumph and tragedy lie very close together. Very frequently, to ward the final curtain, they overlap. Richard Mansfield^ I The "Kin Richard O the Stage" HOW THE GREAT TRAGEDIAN, NOW SERIOUSLY ILL, ROSE FROM DIREST POVERTY TO FAME AND WEALTH. Deprived of His Mother's Riches Because He Was Determined to Be an Actor, He Was a London Starveling For Years, but Never Whimpered—A Genius Whose Ideal Has Al- ways Been Perfection In His Chosen Art. Sample of His Powerful Pathos- Since the death of Henry Irving, Mansfield has been recognized as the greatest living actor that speaks his lines in the English tongue. For a score of yenrs he has been mounting steadily and surely toward that proud position. He was born to climb to the last, for his ideal always has been per fection in his chosen art. Traveled Like a Monarch. Among the laity it may have been popular of late years to envy Richard Mansfield. There he was, at the head of his profession, traveling in his own private car luxuriously furnished, oc cupying special suits at the finest ho tels, owning a splendid home on Riv erside drive in New York and another at New London, Conn. No monarch ever journeyed in more magnificent style than Richard Mansfield. No monarch ever appeared more haughty than he in his attitude toward the or dinary people. Europe has half a doz en kings more easy to approach than this King Richard of the stage. That is one picture. Now for the Other. Less than thirty years ago a young man, this same Richard Mansfield, ex isted In London in the most pitiful poverty. "For years and years," says Mans field, "I went home to my little room, If I fortunately had one, and perhaps a. tallow dip was stuck in the neck of a bottle, and I was fortunate if I had something to cook for myself over a fire. That was my life. For years As Beau Brummel. In "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. RICHARD MANSFIELD. ..I,.!, f££*il£ w^iijUllg*,^^ r* and years when night came I have wandered about the streets of London, and if I had a penny I invested it in baked potatoes from the baked potato man on the corner. I would put those hot potatoes in my pocket, and after I had warmed my hands I would swallow the potatoes. That is the truth." But Richard Mansfield did not use hot potatoes both for heat and food because he had to. He did it because he wanted to be an actor—perhaps be cause he had to be an actor. His mother, the noted singer Mme. Ruders dorff, desired him to be a painter. The youth tried painting, with fair success artistically. His mother was wealthy. She had gold in abundance for Richard the artist, but not a cent for Richard the actor. When the young man de termined to be an actor the madame cut him off as to finances hence the hot potatoes. Starveling For Years. Millions of men may live on baked potatoes and restaurant smells with out any particular privation. But it was different with young Richard and put him in school. She took him to various European countries and put him in school. He grew up in an artistic atmosphere. He played the piano like an adept: He spoke several languages. He painted well. He had the key of admission to the politest Bocial circles. Yet because he was de termined to become an actor, and a great actor, he was a London starve ling for years and years, and nobody ever heard him whimper. You may not like Richard Mans field. Many persons who do not know him dislike him. He seems to have cultivated the art of making enemies of strangers to the ultimate limit. But you must admire his nerve, his pluck, his British bulldog tenacity of pur pose. He was going to get there, and he got there. After years and years he got there—got so far that instead of continuing to eat potatoes after using them for pocket stoves he was living in his own New York home by the time he reached the age of thirty-five and eating in a dining room furnished al together with tables, chairs and side boards from the royal palace at Ver sailles. Truly, it was no primrose path of dalliance that Richard Mansfield trav eled. After long struggling and many i?4^ s£*S: J5 rebuffs he finally secured a comic op era job. W. S. Gilbert, that beloved librettist whose works gave delight to millions, became interested in young Mansfield and got him a place in, "Pin afore." Mansfield played with the troupe in f!he British provinces for three years at $15 a week. Then he determined to go up to London, for he felt himself fit for something better. Richard Mansfield is practically an American actor, and America is proud to claim him. He was born, however, on the little island of Helgoland fifty years ago. His father was a British army officer and his mother a Russian opera singer. Mansfield. He had been gently rear- St Louis Republic in reply to an at ed. His mother adored him, and he tack upon him by that paper some idolized his mother. She brought him years ago, when the actor, at the old with her to Boston when he was a boy Hagan Opera House in St. Louis, ap _______________________^^__. peared before the footlights and be rated his audience, declarm How He "Made Good." Mansfield came to America to re main permanently about twenty-five years ago. He had achieved fair suc cess on the London stage. He ap peared here first in comic operas and comedies and won a considerable rep utation. It was in his part of Prince* Karl, in the play written by A. C. Gunter, who died only a few months ago, that Mansfield "made good" and started fairly on the road to his great reputation. But he had to struggle. "I am as determined as the tides of the ocean and as patient as the Cath olic church," he once remarked when adverse criticism was encountered. Mansfield's breakdown In his prime is due to overwork. That determina tion which has possessed him from the first has undermined his health. He reached the private palace car and the Versailles dining room furniture only by the severest sort of labor—inces sant, nerve destroying, plugging toil at the tasks he set for himself. Some men may spend their summers in idle ness. Mansfield used to retire to his New London home and spend the warm months studying furiously. When he reached the rehearsals he was always letter perfect. He knew his lines. He knew his characters. And they were such characters— Shakespeare's, Schiller's, Moliere's, Ibsen's and those of lesser tragedians and comedians. Not only did he know his characters, but he became them for the time. "When I play Richard the king," he has said, "I am Richard the king." Sample of His Pathos. There is a powerful pathos in the letter which Mansfield wrote to the that that city could not appreciate art and oth- ^"JlTg" erwise expressing severe opinions against the Missouri metropolis: "It is especially concerning the para graph which suggests that an actor would be more successful if he enjoy ed the reputation of being a good fel low that I write. It all depends upon what the definition of the •words may me. I haven't the time or the inclina tion to be a good fellow in the sense in which it is generally accepted in this country, but I trust that 1 have at all times been a good friend and a hospitable host. Possibly few are' aware that when I have played' there to be wrapped up in blankets and put to bed after having been fed. That's what they do for a good race horse after a^ace. If I hem and haw it is because am exhausted and not because I am an idiot, as the polite gentleman on an afternoon paper Is good enough to suggest. I give my whole life and soul to my work. The power for evil in this world is far greater than the power for good. Yet some day there will be a few vio lets blooming on the grave of your faithful servant, Richard Mansfield." This was before he became the fa mous actor of his later years. Jince {hen "many newspapers have enjoyed remarks derogatory to Mansfield be cause of the actor's ebullitions of tem per. Various and sundry_bave been the unkind cuts from the American press. There can be no question that a super or a common plug actor, hav ing been guilty of outbreaks such as mar Mansfield's record, would have deserved severe censure. At least nine of Mansfield's leading women have quit his company in disgust because of his temper. Isabel Irving stayed in his support just two days. Lucille Flaven lasted one day. Katherine Grey, Margaret Anglin, Lettie Fairfax, Florence Kahn, Eleanor Barry and Roselle Knott were among the othera who could not "stand for" the Mans field manner—or manners. Forgets Self When Acting. "I suppose, sir," said an enthusias tic woman to the actrr. "that when in the spirit of those grer4" roles you for get your real self for days." "Yes, madam," Mansfield replied, "for days as well as nights. It is then I do those dreadful things—trample on the upturned features of my leading lady and hurl tenderloin steaks at waiters." "And you do not know it at all?" "Not a solitary thing, madam, until I read the papers next day." One of his leading women, at any rate, Mansfield did not dismiss. Miss Beatrice Cameron, who was his sup port early in his career and a charm ing actress, is Mrs. Richard Mans field. She is at her husband's bed side in the great north woods. DENTIST'S FINE GIFTS. American Who Filled Moroccan Sul tan's Molars Makes a Hit. Bringing royal gifts of great value and the title of "dentist to his sheree fian majesty the sultan of Morocco" with him, Dr. Frank C. Bostwick re cently arrived in Plainfield, N. J., to begin a three months' vacation after a busy professional season in the sal tan's oourt, says a Plainfield special to the New York Times. Summoned last spring to attend to the molars of his majesty, his wives, his father, broth ers and other members of the royal household, he has been granted leave of absence after the busiest "season" he has ever had. The Yankee methods he applied in easing toothaches among his gracious patients were profitable far above his expectations, and, besides the title, he will be one of the few men permitted to wear the sultan's colors. Dr. Bostwick is an American and the son-in-law of Charles W. Eoff of Plain field, but has been practicing in Gi braltar for many years. He was re tained by Spanish royalty to practice in the court, and he was brought to the attention of the sultan in this way. The science of teeth treatment is in an embryonic state in Morocco, and he was requested to proceed to that coun try and attend to long felt wants in the sultan's household. Dr. Bostwick accepted the offer, and his experience was one that has seldom fallen to the lot of an American In speaking of his stay at the court the doctor declared he was accorded exceptionally kind treatment and that for the most part he had little trouble in doing his work. He found that the men in that country are cowards when it comes to enduring the pain that ac companies an extraction or a filling, but the women undergo the ordeal in a matter of fact way. The sultan him self has a splendid set of teeth, but what little was done to them was ac complished while the owner winced and fidgeted about like a schoolboy. one of my trying roles I am utterly, ^w days ago, leaving no trace of his totally exhausted. 1 ought then and whereabouts Let us now forget that a Philadel phia super sued Mansfield for assault and battery because the actor struck the super over the head with a spear when he got out of line. Let us re fuse to remember the mutton chop which Mansfield threw at the waiter In the Auditorium hotel at Chicago because the chop was frizzled. Let us remember rather the hot potato of the London days, the determination, the toil, the life and soul devotion to the art that overmastered the man— and the triumph he has achieved. !&4»Jfl?\.*iyW As a mark of esteem the sultan con ferred the official title upon Dr. Bost wick and also presented him with a magnificent Moorish saddle of excellent workmanship It is gold mounted and beautifully carved, the stirrups and bit being of solid gold. With it were pre sented a gold mounted breastplate and a heavy gold collar, part of the accou terments of the royal Moor when rid ing, and a handsomely embroidered saddlecloth of the sultan's own court CLAIRVOYANT'S EXPLOIT. E a in a Pfcwers of Floettum a Norwegia Boy. Further mfoimation received in Lon don recently of the remarkable achieve ments of John Floettum, the boy clair voyant of Christiania, in Norway, has increased interest in the case, says a London cable dispatch to the New York Times. Floettum discovered the other day he of a a disappeared a A photograph of the missing man was shown to the boy. He examined it closely and then seated himself at a table. Covering his eyes, he drew a diagram of the course the man had taken into the woods. At a point in dicated the man's handkerchief was found. The day afterward the boy himself was taken over the course, followed by 1,000 curious sightseers Floettum suddenly stopped and said he could see quite plainly where the body lay. He asked that a boat be rowed to a point in the river and said, "Here he The body was found at the bottom of the river at the exact place indi cated, ^*r*VSl&J$?Z73C?'F~"r The Camera as a Referee. The camera, which serves so many useful and interesting purposes, has now been promoted to the dignified office of referee in athletic contests, says Youth's Companion At a recent meeting of the Southwestern Ama teur Rowing association it was voted that henceforth at contests held by the association a competent photog rapher, with the most modern and effi cient camera, should photograph the finish of each event. There have been so many close finishes and unsatisfac tory decisions in the past that it is hoped in this way to provide referees with Indisputable evidence. More Brides an Cottage In a a a According to Edwin H. Weeks and his wife, who arrived at New York recently from Colon, Panama, by the steamer Colon and who have been on the isthmus of Panama entertaining the canal employees, the government has promised to every man who brings a bride to the canal zone or marries there a detached cottage, says the New York Sun. The result has been, Mr. Weeks says, that there has been a boom in cottage building and marry ing. The brides and bridegrooms are ahead of the cottages by several laps, but the government builders are hus tling to even things up. Onions Yield 400 Bushels to Acre. The onion harvest on Missouri Point, across the river from Alton, began in earnest recently and will be in prog ress several weeks, says the St. Louis Republic. Fifty or seventy-five acres are planted in onions, and farmers say they have been offered $1.25 a bushel for their crop. The yield will be 400 bushels to the acre. H. I. Mintert, who has the largest onion "patch" on the point, says that no farmer has more than seven or eight acres, because of the labor that attaches to the cultiva tion of onions, although they are the best paying crop he can plant mk ^ScJ^fe^i^ft* $E *j ^SM fv Canadian Government FREE FARMS VER 200.000 A an farmers who havesettled in Can ada daringthe past few years, testify to the fact that Canada is. beyond question,the great est farming land in the world.
