AMATEUR THEATRICALS
Brief Hints as to the Stage Man
ager's Manifold Duties.
JHE HARDEST WORK OF ALL.
9m His Shoulders Rest Many Responsi
bilities —He Mast Be a Gas Man, Prop
erty Man, Prompter and Teacher, All
Boiled Into One.
N AMATEUR
stage manager's
duties are many,
and the position
doesn't slop over
With dignity and
glory. Yet of all
the members of
the company he
could be least easi
ly spared. Not
only must he man
sec the stage, but
he mnst manage the club—else conflicts of
authority are certain to result —and must
act as "gasmen," prompter and "property
num. 1 '
The "gas man's" duties are to attend to
lighting the stage; the "property man" has
charge of the hundred and one little
and big stage accessories; the prompter's
ever ready voice must help the players if
they stumble in their lines, and his hand
must ring the curtain up and down and
give the signals to the orchestra.
A man who can do all these things
sides keeping a watchful eye on the scenery
and the players themselves is a rara avis,
but the success or failure of amateur per
formances depends largely ou the presence
of such a man in the club.
The actors should fully understand the
difficult position which the man who con
sents to be their stage manager assumes,
and grant him implicit obedience, thor
ough respect and every little consideration
which is in their power. They should re
member that his work is almost wholly
without reword other than the conscious
ness of having done difficult work well
he does not appear in view of the audience,
he gains no applause or appreciation from
the "front of the house." Whatever credit
he gets comes from behind the scenes, and
if he gets plenty of that it will be balm to
his soul.
To the stage manager's judgment must
be left the selection of plays to a large ex
tent and the distribution of parts wholly.
In casting the plays he must not show the
slightest suspicion of favoritism or discord
PLAN OF A STAGE.
will at once result. He should possess
some knowledge of dramatic literature
and know enough about elocution to cor
rect faulty delivery and incorrect pronun
ciation.
Above everything else, he must be firm
—an autocrat behind the scenes from an
hour before the play begins until the cur
tain hides the last scene from view. From
his decision there must be no appeal. He
will sometimes be wrong, no doubt, but it
is better that one man should make a mis
take and let it go at that than that half a
dozen should quarrel over the matter till
they get it right. All his suggestions
should be received good humoredly, even if
he speaks sharply, for he has many things
to think of and be annoyed by. On the
other hand, the stage manager should en
force his bidding in a genial spirit and
never lose his temper. Directions given
in a quiet but decisive tone will always
prove more effective than loud aud boister
ous orders.
As a prompter, the stage manager must
have almost as thorough a knowledge of the
lines of the play as the actors themselves.
As a general director of their work he
most read between the lines and form in
his mind the groups and pictures which
are to be put upon the stage. The place in
which every actor must stand while deliv
ering every line must be studied out as
carefully as the way in which the line
should be spoken. For the convenience of
stage managers and actors in this regard,
the stage was long ago divided by imagi
nary lines, as shown in the diagram.
The space outside of line R is known as
the "right of stage." Between line R and
line R C is "right of center," On both
sides of line C is "center of stage." Be
tween line L C and L is "left of center."
»MINO DOWN STAGE.
From line L to the wings is "left of stage."
The spaces between the wings are known
as "entrances." R. U. E. and L. U. E. mean
"right upper entrance" and "left upper en
trance." R. Ist E., R. 2d E., R. 3d E. and
Jj. Ist E., L. 2d E., Li. 3d E., mean respec
tively right first entrance, right second en
trance, right third entrance, and left first
entrance, left second entrance, left third
entrance. The entrances marked T. W.
are known as "tormenter wings." P.
marks the post of the prompter while the
play is in progress. To "go down stage"
means to walk toward the footlights. To
"go up stage" means to move toward the
rear.
After the actors have learned their parts
thoroughly the stage manager must turn
hia attention to the way they handle their
bodies. He should correct at rehearsal
every ungraceful movement and devise
st?ge groupings which are effective nnd
eloquent when seen from the audience's
point of view. There are also many little
tricks of "'stage bnsiness" which he should
explain to the aStors. For instance, when
two people are on the stage together it is
proper courtesy for each actor to take a
few steps toward the footlights after hav
ing finished bis speech, so as to allow the
other to turn his face toward the audience
while speaking.
While playing leading' parts a good ef
iw* may be created by "taking the stage,"
that is, walking a few steps to the right or
left or up or down stage after delivering
important lines and "striking an attitude"'
in accordance with the sentiment of the
Bpccch. There is no time when grace of
posture and movement is more agreeable
than when crossing the stage before the
curtain in acknowledgement of applause.
If a man anil woman are called out tho
man should appear first and then wait
while the woman passes before him and
goes ahead, lv crossing the stage with a
woman or lending her "down stage," the
actor should offer the outside hand to the
corresponding hand of the actress. This
is always graceful. Other ways are apt
not to be.
After the stage manager has attended
to all the things hinted at above, at re
hearsals his work is almost finished. If.
when the curtain is rung up on the first
performance, his "people" are "letter per
fect" in their lines, have been well drilled
in their "stage business," if complete ar
rangements have been made for lighting
the stage and handling the scenery, if
every "property" is in a place where it will
be ready to his hand when it is required;
if all these things have been attended to,
the stage manager may sit down, with the
prompt book in his hand, at the prompter's
station, and ring the bell for the curtain
to be raised with the comfortable feeling
that he has done his duty, and that the
merit of the performance beyond that mo
ment must rest with the players. If the
performance is a success, he will get no ap
plause. If it is a failure, he will very like
ly be blamed. In any case he will proba
bly be tired of all things mundane and sick
of life os he piles into bed after it is all
over. David W. King.
"The Mountebanks."
A feeling of sadness over the ultimely
death of the man
who wrote the
music still hangs
about "The Moun
tebanks," by W.
S. Gilbert and Al
fred Cellier, Lou
don's latest suc
cessful comic op
era. The opera
tells the absurd
story of a party of
masqueraders
who drank a mys
tic potion, which
transformed them
into precisely
what they were
pretending to be.
The music is very C
good, the libretto

Is excruciatingly tunny, and the scenery is
all that can be desired. The opera will be
heard in America early next season. A
very gratifying feature of the performance
to Americans is the fact that Geraldine
Ulmar, the well known American singer,
has undoubtedly carried off the vocal hon
ors of the production.
A Crave Little Snake Charmer.
While Dot Sonwcll, a pretty twenty-year
old girl with fluffy yellow hair, was hand
ling rattlesnakes at a New York museum
the other day she was bitten in the cheek
by one of the reptiles. Her life was saved by
the "Staten Island Wrestler," who sucked
as much of the poison from the wound as
he could; but she was unable to speak for
two days and was ill for a week. She is

known as one o£ the most daring snake
charmers in the business, and has had sev
eral ugly experiences with her crawling
charges. Among the curiosities at her
home are the two fangs which a venomous
moccasin snake imbedded in her arm while
she was playing at Fall River last April,
and another is a staffed Gila monster,
which was killed because it bit her hus
band. These various misfortunes have
made the problem of existence somewhat
difficult for the Sonwells and their two
little babies to face, but Dot doesn't quail
before it any more than she does before her
snakes.
