Life on the Stage Not So Easy When
One Hears the Inside Routine
Few men have a deeper love for the
stau'e, remarked Mnnnirer w less, iivm
Koblen voiced Al II. Wilson, wnii win
be seen al Kyle Theater Monday. Oe
lolier 17, as Metz SI ruble in Yale and
F.llis' beautiful romantic comedy,
"The Watch on the Ithliie." From
his earliest childhood this youns star
h:is been devoted to the slau'e. Ho
besan his career when n little more
than a school boy, as rneinner oi one
of Charles II. Yale's companies, and
from that clever actor he learned
much of the art that has brouuhl him
so rapidly to the front ranks of Ills
chosen profession.
In a recent interview Mr. Al II.
Wilson said of the stauo. "I believe
that dramatic art is about to reach
the most Important staire in its his
tory; men anil women no longer so
iiniiii the stau'e because they can
think of nothing else they would pre-
r to do. On the contrary, inev pie-
mire I benisel ves lor ll'.e woiK wnii a
much arduous study as lawyers or
.1 . . a, ,, for thn
'K'mH,l" W'""10,' "" 'Vis?
lT?:TnC an
dancer and a fencer, and above nil,
one must work, work, work."
Take l he routine of my own life,
people come to the theater and K
iiway'imyf'IfiK nn, aad so not under
standiiiK. ifey believe I have abso
lutely nothing to do. I overheard
one vonni? man nay the other day,
"Oh, I do so envy Mr. Wilson, ho has
nolliinK to do but to f-'o to t healer nt
nlKhl and play that charming part in
The Watch on the Rhine.'"
For the benefit, of that young man,
and others who sec only the flitter
of the stage, I am going to give an
idea of how my day.s arc spent. I
will not take ono or the days when wo
are playing one night slnnds, for that
merely means rising at about !i o'clock
In the morning, eating a hurried
breakfast, when exceptionally lucky,
usually not getting any nt all. travel
ing until late In the afternoon; a short
mi p. then to the theater for the per-
fortnauce, then back to the not or to
bed and up again the next morning to
go through the same rouilne.
On our week slands I am able to
accomplish something. I usually rise
at S;::u o'clock, work with my dumb
bells ami Indian clubs for half an
hour, then a light breakfast, after
which I take n brisk walk for about
an hour. I llien rend French and
lialian fur about an hour, put In half
an hour at my piano, to keep my
voice in Him lor ine periormance.
fence a short lime with one of the
members of the company, and have
luncheon about 2 o'clock in the after
noon. I'sually 1 have my friends with mo
during t lie late afternoon. I always
have an early dinner anil a ltaht one.
take a short nap before going to the
iheati'r. After the performance I
read for an hour, I lien just before go
ing lo bed I go through fifteen min
uless of vocai cxeroisos to keep my
voice smooth.
"There is the life of ease we stage
folk lead. I have said nothing of re
liersals. which average about three a
week, or matinees which come nt
least twice, aad as for rest the only
lime I rest is for about six weeks in
the summer time."

An Australian paper just to hand
gives an account of a recent perform
ance of "Othello" by Malays which
must have been the most extraordina
ry ever given of that renowned play.
In this representation Othello was

Iter's' wig which, being much loo large
for Ids own cranium, came kh unu

in the green gown ot a pro-nisioi ic

furnished by the costume was well
