Arthur Arlington, a young gentleman of large fortune, is engaged to marry a very wealthy heiress named Belle Ashton. Arthur, although a generous, noble-hearted fellow, is badly addicted to the world's gayety and, in" consequence, alter a few years experience as a plunger on the race course and bon-vivant, he finds himself a financial wieck. 1! lie, hearing of his mis fortune, like the rest of the worldly set, turns her back upon him, breaks off the match and immediately engages herself to a Lord Asbbury Singleton, In this extremi- I ty Arthur decided on becoming a soldier — so he accepts the Queen's shilling from one j Corporal Ginger, and is duly enrolled as I a private for the wars in Flanders. Tliere j is, however, a pretty little ballad-singer i named Avice Morton, who. has long loved | Arthur with a . pure unselfish love. Avice follows Arthur to the wars and is instrumen j tal in saving his life on several occasions. j Disguised as a guardsman she performs many daring deed s,f or which she is promoted | to the command of a troop, in the mean i time the Morton estate, which has been in litigation, is awarded to Arthur and once ' more he is a wealthy man. Belle Ashton, hearing of this, starts lust-haste to Flanders and renews her engagement to Arthur, who is uot aware of his good fortune. ' lie is ap prised of it, however, later on, by an eccen tric lawyer named Capitis. .Arthur returns to England in order to take possession of his new-found fortune and marry the worldly minded Belle. Avice follows after the man she has so long loved in secret. Preparation are being made for the wedding of Ailhur and Belle— when all is nearly complete, Caplus, who has been investigating the affair, declares the fact that the mis-ing heiress to the Morton estate has been found and that Arthur Arlington has no claim whatever thereto. On hearing this Belle once more betrays her sordid nature by declining, to marry Arthur. The identity of Avice is re vealed and Arlington is made happy in the knowledge of her unselfish love for him. The little ballad singer, the guardsman who saved his life and Avice Morton the heiress are one and the same person. "All is Well that ends well." Elaborate preparations are being made at this theater for the production of the .spec tacular opera, "The Wonderlul Lamp.' It .will hold the stage during the holidays. "V anil 1." The title of this piece, a laughable comedy . to be seen during the holidays at the Xew Bush-street Theater, was derived from the initial letters of the' names of two of its leading characters— Ungeiblatz, a German music-teacher, and I ones, a retired contractor, respectively portrayed by Gus Williams and John 'iv Kelly, both old time favorites * here, and who.no doubt, will be warmly welcomed. diaries F.

General Gottlob assures us that, the colored troops are fortified with an entirely new programme from first to finale, new jokes, new songs and "new novelties," in the language of the small bills.

Signor David tie Vivo*;* who has made many splendid managerial successes in his time, encounters, like other iinpresarli, a failure occasionally. Mine. Alhaiza is one of the latter. After waiting a while for the lady to recover from a cold which marred the in ception of her proposed concert season in Xew York, he received recently from Ed ward F. Birmingham, M.

Marches] and sang with great suc cess in England under Colonel Mapleson's management. De Vivo, who conducted Mine. Pareoa-Rosa and Di Murska to fame and fortune, feels very sore over the way the New York critics treated Alhaiza, and talks of reprisals. Perhaps he may. publish a book. . On the Lecture form. * Mrs. Kendal faced a very interesting audi ence nt the Brunswick Hotel, on Tuesday, the. 18th inst., says the New York Dram News, when she Ie tared before the Goethe Society on "The Stage." .In the course. of her remarks she said : . "Some actors are born great, and some actors have greatness thrust upon them.' I" think I ought to Ik; classed in tin- latter cat egory. On the diversions of a nation'- its fate often depends, much more than on its occupations. Why does not this apply to its diversions as regards the stage?- Many critics write of the actors and actresses now long dead in a regretful way. They seem to think that we have no artists such as we used to listen to. The fact is that we have in our ranks as great people as those' sanctified by tradition, and we' surpass them in some respects. As to "scenery, we have many advantages over the stage iv former years. Staging a play that is, the mechanical presentation ot its possibilities-; is a work of art. Over-elaboration, it is said, is the fault of the stage of to-day. There Is -only one rule to be followed with regard to tho- working nut of ' a play on the stage, and that is to follow nature. Much has been said and written regarding the recognition of actresses hi society. It is supposed that actresses are held in con tempt. That would have been true regarded by the artificial standards of a past genera tion. Now actresses go into society on their own merits as artists or people worthy of consideration from some other qualification. ALL THE PROFESSION'S. * .. "Besides the actors' profession seems to be full, and even at that there seems to be an: overdraft iv the direction of. the*, stage. Many educated women are forced by their surroundings to adopt the stage for a pro fession. They are crowding toward the stage, but with little. knowledge of its re quirements and exertions. One of the first requirements in a young woman about to go on the stage is a thorough appreciation* of the fact that there is such a thing as a pure stage. A pure stage is always surrounded by pure audiences. " Regarding the deterioration of the stage, T find that there is a general system moper r atyii in this country by which actors and actresses, of whatever rank, manage to keep their names before the. public. The result is that every little actor gets himself lauded, whether he is worthy of it or not. As. to criticism in ths newspapers, actors look upon a good, honest criticism as a lesson, aud they study it faithfully."' '.'.:'■;;- fl. Fickle.

Passed '""" * Upon the Staee Starring.. ' - ••'■ * | To-day is the -birthday of that veteran actor and popular favorite, Walter M. Le man, of whose long life, which has now reached the high-water mark of '80' years, nearly one-half has lieen spent in Califor nia. Time was when the theater-goers of this city considered no cast perfect unless Mr. Leman's name appeared in it. As member of -the famous California Theater Company he received many plaudits that echoed through the vast auditorium. In recognition of these facts, and of Mr. Le man's sterling qualities as a man, a patriot and a benefactor of his kind, the ladies of this city have tendered him a commemora tive benefit. 'The committee under whose patronage Mr. Leman's birthday festival will be held, have arranged a brilliant and varied literary and musical programme, in which he will take part. .Among the many good things hinted at is a. scene from "The School for Scandal," with the beneficiary as Sir Peter and Mrs. Frances B. Edgerton as Lady Teazle.*- It would be absurd at this late date to attempt', anything like a criti cism of Mr. Leman as an actor; that verdict was pronounced years ago, anl nothing cau take. from him' his well-earned fame. • "Yes," said Mr.'Leman to a representa tive of TnE .Call' a few days ago, "I am .getting to lie an.old man now.' On. the 30th of November- I shall, if it please God, cele brate my eightieth birthday, and 7 that alti tude of year's looks back through* a- long vista' of events. When 1 was hut a school-boy I determined to be an actor; that is, I thought I would rather bo an' actor than any thing else. it was my delight to take part in the School declamations, and candor' compels me to slate the fact. that my elocutionary ■■■& v 17..:I 7 ..:- '- :* -:;- > ' Walter _ lif. J^man. '■ • , ' j efforts at that period were much more produc- ■ tive of amusement than of any other emotion in my auditors. In my younger days I bad reveled with lads of my own age in the gar ret and cellar ''theatricals, which: have been ever so. fascinating to youth. As with ac tors of mature, growth, there was conten tion for ' the best parts.- M especial fit ■ ness in my own 'eyes was for tragedy, the more pronounced the better; and, if a ■tragic tyrant, the better still. Ata later pe riod 1 felt highly aggrieved when niy teacher selected as my theme for declamation Lu cius' speech for peace while I particularly wanted Sempronius'- speech for 'war. My schooldays were passed at Brentford-Acad emy under the direction of Benjamin Green leaf, the eminent mathematician, and the period of my. leaving school and entering the theater seems' In. memory to be surrounded with a- halo Of brightness which no after time has ever- equaled," and the. good old man paused, and his noble .countenance 'seemed illumined ny the light of other days. --"I was only a store- Niv, to be sure," con tinned Mr. Leman,- recalling, himself, to the; listener, "but! lived in -.a realm of dreams, bright with -anticipation's of a great future, when I should : st my shell and be an actor. Play-books, plny-bills, the- theater pit or gallery, it .mattered not whichever best suited my finances, absorbed all my. spare time' and my .cash.. This growing fondness for the theater highly displeased my employer,' ahd one day matters were brought to"a climax in this fashion : A friend' of mine was a clerk In a neighboring store,, whither 1 was sent 011 an errand. .The pro prietor was out, 'and as I had been told to await bis return, ray friend, the. clerk, who. like myself, was stage-struck, suggested that it would lie a good time to rehearse. It was just betweeu the dusk and dark of a summer evening, when few customers were abroad. I gladly seconded his proposal, and'- in the midst of a terrific duel with yard sticks I chanced to glance toward the door, blocked, as it is needless to say, with a crowd of passers-by, who - had gathered to enjoy our performance. Among them I saw the angry face of my employer. Within a week 1 was. tree to follow my theatrical bent .unham pered by aiiy business engagements. "My theatrical career began as call-boy at the opening of the Tremont Theater in 1827, at a salary of S3 a week. Mv first ap pearance was as Nicholas, one of the mob of menials in the ' Taming of the Shrew.' I believe I was as awkward as the. require ments of the character called fur, and that is saying a good deal.". "In. your lime, Mr. Lemon, you must have seen a great many changes take place iii your profession/ suggested the reporter. " You are right, I have. I remember the building of the Bunker Hill Monument.: 1 recall the opening of many theaters now* almost forgotten. I have played with many actors of world-wide' fame, and oh, how many, many have I followed to the grave," and his face saddened at the thought. "But. 1 love to think of them all ; what a collec tion of talent and genius they represent Among them 1 may name jnst a few— Thomas A. Cooper, j; 11. Booth, Edwin Forrest, John Howard Payne, Charles and Fanny Kemble, James Sheridan Kn'owles, Anna Bishop, Charlotte Cushuiah, Fanny Elsler, J. E. Murdoch, the Seguiiw. Ma cready, Kean, Mrs. Sinclair, Mrs.-Judah, Lola Montcz, Sophie Edwin, Frank Mayo, Barton Hill, Edwin Both, McKean Bu chanan, the Florences, Julia Dean Il.iyne, Agnes Booth, the Matidville sisters, Lotta, Adah Isaacs Menken, the Thorncs, J. E. Owens, John M.cCullougli— how* the names and faces surge before my mental vision! And then -there were those halcyon days at the old California. Ah, those were the times. to remember] You see, lam an old Californian- myself. 1 left New York for San Francisco in August, 1854, and al though I have been away from San Fran cisco at different times, and for some length of days, 1 have never lost the . feeling that the Golden State is my home." Further conversation with Mr. Leman disclosed the facts that lie had played in nearly every theater that! has ever been erected in California,, and in the leading ones of the United States and Canada as well. As a playwright his dramas were re ceived with flattering success; most of them .were of a stirring patriotic nature, and so have been his poems for special occasions. - When urged to give, his opinion on the "starring question, Mr. Leman replied: "Evenaseaily in the century as. when I began* my . theatrical -career the starring system had been . in vogue for many years, but the * stars ' of that day far exceeded in magnitude and effulgence most of the blink ing luminaries of 10-diy. Every theater of any importance had its permanent dramatic corps, in which -the local favorites were continued from season to season; this was of mutual benefit to the actor nnd manager, and changes were infrequent. ;', It was the day .of established stock companies of actors, not of traveling combination of per formers. In those days the Stage was profession. Theatrical advertising, did not then run riot as now. . Kean and Cooke and* the Kembles* and their compeers -were an nounced to the - public. by^ three-sheet posters not by 300 square leet of printers' ink, with colored pictures to match, iv all the hues of the rainbow." ■•'-.-• --"When did I leave the stage? . Ah, well, In the middle of October, 1809, 1 left the Pa cific metropolis, playing in the cities of Oakland,*. San , Jose, Stockton, Sacramento and some others : also in Virginia City, where Ada Cavendish joined us for a week, and Frank Mayo for another, and return ing homeward closed at the California The ater my. -last engagement, and practically terminated lin San Francisco a theatrical . career . which commenced * fifty-two • years and I four - months before . in Boston, Mass. There have been since then . occasional re newals, as for the.benefit of a charity, or to Serve an old friend, or to assist lv the pro- I duction of a new play, the last of -which * occurred- in: February, 1880, at the .Bush street Theater in Boucicault's comedy of 'The Jilt' Oh Monday night the Ist of Decem ber, I shall make my appearance once more before a.
