Testerday's matinees found the theaters
packed with audiences that were made
up, for the most part, of strangers. Out-of-town
people have so liberally patronized
the playhouses that town folk have al
most fallen away from the theater habit.
Friday night at the Century was excep
tional In the Tact that St. Louis faces
were thick In the throng that looked on
while Mr. Goodwin played his admirable
"Usurper." It Is too bad that Mr. Good
win closes his engagement so soon, but
It is. an almost equally happy thing that
Mr. "Docfcfftader begins his on the very
heels of the famous comedian. The min
strel king will begin his season here with
a Sunday matinee, quite a new thing for
the Century.
One of thi real wonders of the St. Louis
Mason Is the "Ben-Hur" run at the Olym
pic Theater. Mr. Short says that he can
see no reason for believing that the re
maining three weeks will show any falling
off In an Interest that has been phenom
enal. The Olympic is a Mjr theater, but It
has never been big enough for the crowds
that hgve come from near and far to fee
tha famous General Wallace drama of
pageantry and solemnity. The sixth con
secutive week begins to-morrow evening,
making the eleventh week for the play at
the Olympic There will be three weeks
more in this run. when there will come
the ever delightful Viola Allen, who, as
ft revivalist of Shakespeare, has made the
access of her career.
Mr. Tate has been ccmpllmented by the
Colombia patrons on the excellence of his
current bill In general and on the good
aem of Lafayette in particular. This Im
personator and all-round entertainer, who
has been seen before now In a le?s elab
orate turn, now fares forth as a whole
show himself. Mr. Tate Is now not only
managing the Columbia, but Is a pnrtlrl-
pant of the successes at Music Hall, at the
Imperial, at the Grand and at Havlln's. to
say nothing of HagenbeckV. He Is be
coming a most formidable syndicate.
If one were looking for examples to
prove the trite adage, "How small the
world Is," one could not do better than In
vestigate the lives and careers of actors.
It ii often atartllngly coincidental how
cloMly certain players continually come
in contact, and, after years of separa
tion, return to their old associations, with
a regularity which almost seems to have a
rule aa fixed as that of the solar system.
No more striking case can be cited than
that of Mr. J. Harry Benrimo, who has
made himself something of a favorite in
this, community by his finished and subtle
work with Miss Blanche Bates In "The
Darting of the Gods." Like Miss Bates,
Hr. "Benrimo was bom in San Francisco,
''hut several years antedating that young
-lady's arrival, for. on occasions, he boast
fully -relates that he can remember her In
vhort skirts and pigtails down her back
when lie considered himself a young gen
tleman of years and discretion.
The first play that Mr. Benrimo ever
Mr was "Camllle." and he ran away to
do so. He had been to a circus and had
eean Haveriy's Minstrels, but never a
ml p!y, and hit heart was set on wit
nessing the sufferings and sorrows of
"Marguerito Gauthier," especially as his
mother had strong prejudices against that
lady's life being idealized as a stage epic
Being a son of Adam. -he hankered for the
forbidden fruit, and with his pocket
money allowance for a Saturday holiday
betook himself to the gallery of tho old
California Theater, to discover the right
or wrong of the character of Dumas's he
rotne. The lady of the Camillas was on
that occasion Impersonated by Mrs. F. M.
Bate, and the Armand Duval by her
hoaband, the parents of Mr. Benrlmo's
present star.
This is but the beginning of the chain
of coincidences. "When the love, of the
state, founded that afternoon, eventually
fjsRj, led Benrimo to adopt it as his life work.

rector, at the Alcazar Theater, and during
this engagement was produced the Chinese
tragedy, 'The First Born," In which they
both appeared, and which was so success
ful that Mr. David Belasco produced It
both In New York and London, with Mr.
Benrimo In his inimitable creation of the
old Chinese pipe-mender. It was this char
acter which attracted Mr. Charles Froh
man to Mr. Benrlmo's work, and through
which he accepted his offer to become a
member of the Empire Theater company
of New York.
Mr. Bela.co advised this step, but added:
"When I have a theater of my own. I
want you to come back to me." So, sev
eral years after, when Mr. Belasco de
cided to produce "The Darling of thi
Gods" for Miss Bates, Mr. Benrimo was
the first person engsged and is now play
ing the father of the daughter of hH old
star, and the mother, though not. now
the center of constellation, still shines
brightly, and adds to the collection of plan
ets which have lighted the Imperial The
ater somewhat brilliantly for nearly four
month?.
Blanche Bates and her company began,
rehearsals yesterday morning at the Im
perial Theater for her special perform
ance of Ibscn'a interesting play. "Hedda
Gabler," in which she will be seen at a
matinee. November 17. One week later
Miss Bates will appear at a matinee per
formance In David Belasco's tragic little
piece. "Madame Butterfly," and the
comedietta, "My Aunt's Advice." In which
she made so decided a hit, at the recent
Music Hall benefit.
Miss Bates originally purposed present
ing these plays at Saturday matinee". The
success ot "The Darling of the Gods,"
however, has attracted such large audi
ences to the Imperial Theater that It was
decided not to vary the regular perform
ances of the Japanese drama. Special
Thursday matinees were agreed upon.
The Ibsen afternoon will likely assume
the nature of a social function. Miss
Bates has intermittently received half a
hundred notes requesting a special per
formance of "Hedda Gabler.'.' Then, too,
so many persons are anxious to see the
Belasco star as herself. Several play
goers have witnessed her performance of
the Princess Yo-San half a dozen times,
and they want to look upon Miss Bates
In modern costume.
In the presentation cf "Hedda Gabler"
Miss Bates will be supported by J. Harry
Benrimo. Albert Bruenlng, Eugene Or
monde, Mrs." F. M. Bates, Leslie Preston
and Ruth Blake.
.
"Hedda Gabler Is a woman with whom
I have no sympathy, yet, as a study.
she Interests me greatly," Blanche Bates
writes to The Republic
"Hedda is an icycle, with a -white-hot
coal inside.
"Her ardent soul fights all her life
with her frozen personality. The fight re
sults in a draw. Neither conquers, but
both are victorious. The Icycle extinguishes
the white-hot coal, the coal melts the
Icycle. Each Is killed and insanity Is the
result.
"Hedda. Is an exaggerated typiflcatlon of
tho old philosophical axiom that there is
no perfect happiness in life. Her story is
a cruel one. She is a woman with a soul
longing to do something and an ambition
that makes her want to be a 'somebody,'
but the little village where she lives and
the circumstances ly which she is sur
rounded preclude the realization of tcr
desires.
"She marries a dry, uninteresting pro
fessor, whom She does not love, end she
fears the advent of an expected child by
this loveless union. An interesting man
comes into her life. Hedda dais not. love
him, but he Interests her. Another woman
has rescued hira from drunkenness and
persuaded him to abstain from liquor.
"Hedda sets herself the task of undo
ing a good 'woman's work. She finally
succeeds and makes onco more a drunkard
of the man who had been reclaimed. But
It Is needlecs to tell her story, for every
devotee of Ibsen Is familiar with It.
"She Is absolutely tclQsb and a brute or I

a woman Shet is not feminine; she Is not
domestic: she has no true maternal in
stinct, yet somewhere in her burning soul
there Is an Ideal, a distorted Ideal It is
true, but nevertheless an Ideal.
"Prisoned-ln the little bit of a secludeJ
village, where j,he vat born, hex soul

tion, ambition that cannot be killed and

some great object, a something that her
surroundings cannot present.
"She hates everything and everybody
about her, and finally she Fets her.-elf the
mean task of forcing a reformed drunk
ard to drink again. It is not a great thing
to do. yet it Is the hardest thing to do
that Hedda finds, and she determines to
accomplish It.
"In her behalf it may be .-"aid thai she
does not really wish to make a drunkard

"Somctimer I don't know what to think
of Hedda. She seems so inhuman. Other

sonify the impossibility of hatlsfylng hu

"It is frequei tly urged by moral writers
th.it such plays' should not bo presented.
They claim the ' pieces are too weird and
ghastlj- and magnify the bad side of hu
man nature. I am of nn opposite opin
ion. I rather believe that such plays
achieve good result?, for when one .een a
character like Hedda one finds her so
hateful, so unattractive, that one deter
mines nevtr to be like her, and to. cor
rect any characteristics that may resem
ble Hedda's.
"The play, too. Is a sermon for the am
bitious woman whose ambitions lie along
the wrong path. She sees where It leads
and she determines to avoid it.
"For myself, although Hedda docs Inter
est as a stu'ly. she Is revolting to me as a
woman."
"Zapfenstrclch" (Taps) will be given its
first "Western presentation by the Hcinc-mann-Welb

pic Theater to-night. "Zapfenatrelch" !s
a military drama, which sets forth the
abuses of German military life, the Injus
tice which grows out of military etiquette
as practiced and upheld in every garri?on
town of the German Empire. A young
Lieutenant betrays the daughter of a subaltern.-
The girl's sweetheart, himself a
Sergeant In the service, resents the Insult
offered to her and is killed by the Lieu
tenant in self-defense. A court-martial
follows, which is depicted on the stage,
and the details of the case are brought to
light. The Lieutenant meets the charge
with a pita cf aslf-defense. but his com
rades despise him. The girl's father.
Sergeant Major Volkhardt, to be enacted
by Ferdinand Wclb, in a personal Inter
view with the Lieutenant, eecks repara

kills his unfortunate daughter In the
Lieutenant's 'presence. The situations of
the play are said to be developed with un
usual strength. Klaerchen Volkhardt, the
only female part in the play, has been
given Into the keeping of Louise Pellmann.

Clifford Lelsh Is one of the most versa
tile members or the "Girl From Dixie"
company at the Grand. Mr. Leigh played
Juvenile, roles at the old Gaiety Theater
in London, arid, according to his state
ment, tho musical comedv of to-day is a
development of burlesaue as given on the
English staze bv John Hollingshead at the
Gaiety Theater, some thirty-five years
ago, rather than an evolution of Hoyt
comedy or such extravacanzas as RIce'e

and Constance Rorebv In the principal
roles. Tbs translated book of the opera
was very weak, and to strengthen it, thi3
clever trio of fur.makers was given per
mission to Introduce specialties, a privi
lege unknown in those dav of conserva
tive old Ensland. This, sava Mr. Leigh,
was the orisln of musical comedy.
John Toole Is the cnlv member of the
original company itlll llvlnsr. Nellie Far
rtn died recently, and John Hollingihcad
died only three weeks ago.
The Innovation introduced at the Gaiety
was enormoush- successful, and soon was
In vogue In other theaters. Managers and
actors found reason for new license in the
production of old works and new enter
tainment was written to conform to the
new standard.
....
The revival of "Siberia" at Havlln's
Theater recall-! the pathetic career of
Bartley Campbell, the author. He was a
poor man before his plays earned him
money and fame, and he was poor when
he died. In the interim of prosperity he
literally threw his money-vaway. He was
liberal, a spendthrift and a "qood fel
low" a combination of characteristics
which depletes the purse and makes the
heart ache.
He failed disastrously as a manager, for
he lacked the reasoning power which con
ducts a man Fafely between accomplish
ment and spcc-ilaUon. He speculated and
lost.
In his time America possessed few dram
atlstn. He died July 30. 1S3S, after a
career of authorsto that lasted little
more than sixteen jears. During that
period dramatists usually depended for a
living upon some more lucrative profes
sion than playwrillng. i
Bartley Campbell was above all a pro
fess onal American dramatist, and what
ever success his career brought td him
came solely from the writing of plays.
Broni,on Howard, whoso talent Is flner
and truer than Campbe'.l'F. and Frederick
Marsden. were then the only dramatists
In this country who were content to write
plays and nothing else. Other writers for
the stage made their labors a part issue,
and were either lawyers, actors, mana
gers notably Augustin Daly or had an
Independence which did not make play
writing necessary for a living.
Eartley Campbell set himself to one
task, earnestly, boldly, and, within certain
rapid limits, triumphantly. He wrote
twenty-one plays, all together. "My Part
ner" was one of the famous dramas of
the time. "The Galley Slave" has been
popular and 'The White Slave" hardly
less so. "Siberia" still pleases and has
the longest record of oil his plays for
continuous years of performance.
Eartley Campbell was a rapid and nu
pcrficlal worker, and had his failures.
He gave himself credit for thought, care
and realism In the preparation of his
plays. His success was not the result of
patient and industrious effort. His brain
was sensitive, his vanity excessive, and he
took life easy perhaps becauso he had
taken it eo hard previously.
.He was born in Allegheny. At 13 he
was a student In a lawyer's ofnee in Pitts
burg. He became a reporter, an editor and
finally official reporter for the House of
Representatives of Louisiana, and It was
In New Orleans that he began to write
plays. His first piece was "Through Fire
and Water," and it was acted four weeks.
Other plays by him were: "3Iy Geral
dlne," "Fairfax." "The Virginian," "The
Big Bonanza," "The Vigilantes." "Friend
and Foe." "Paqulta" and "Separation."
Bartley Campbell was over fi feet In
height and bore a remarkable resemblance
to Artemus Ward." He was an excellent
conversationalist, always ready in re

they have considerable dancing to do, and
high heels Impede the progress of their
work and because Mr. Kingsbury has re
ceived information that high heels will
shortly be relegated to the top shelves of
the shoe stores and be supplanted by the
broad Cuban heel. So not only does he
succeed In forcing tho young women to
observe laws of nature by giving their
feet plenty of room. but. in a measure, he
has given them the opportunity to be tho
first in the display of shoes which are
likely to become the fad in this country.

Ada Rehan denies that her preent tour
Is In the nature of a farewell, or. Indeed,
that she has any Immediate Intention of
retiring from the stage. The actress avers,
however, that after this year she will play
over routes which do not Involve much
traveling, and only In the largest cities.
For this reason Miss Rehan has, clung
to' a repertoire of those comedies with
which sentiment and her own ability have
most connected her, "The Taming of the
