“DM” ACTOBS. fMilitrltfts of the Class With Hoted Example:.. The King *t Oor icons Make-Ip—Hew He Hf«n ngsM «• Keep Ktra With Ills Pilfering Agent. In a casual chat with one of the mem ben of the Gleason A Barrett troupe, the subject turned upon acton who are known to the profession as “dixxlos," from which our representative gathered a f*w point*. The Pacific coast 1* the paradise for this species of human biped. The dlxxy is usually of the old school of acting, and, as a rule, in the days that are past, was an excel lent artist; but having been unable to change his style, la now laughed at gccMM “ Dixr.iKa." % However fierce the sting of poverty may be—however heavy the bard of fate may he upon him—the diaty never doubts his own talent; If ©then roll in wealth while be suffen the pangs cf hunger, he attrib ute* It to "luck,” which fa von others lees deserving of fortune than himself, or to a depraved and degenerate public taste, that can not recognise nor appreciate a good actor when it sees one. Notwithstanding. there are instance* of terrible dixiy people being remarkably successful. There is a story told of a certain actor who started starring a few years ago with a “special ty" of hi# own in the shape of a fearfully and wonilerfully SAD VENSATIOXAL PIECE. The profession could not determine which was the worst, his acting or the play. A manager telegraphed that he would give him JftOO for one week’s per formances. He replied; “I accept your (500 for the week. Have sent porta and book." Back came s dispatch saying: “No; mistake; SSO for the week." The young star flashed bark the an swer: “All right 1 accept SSO for week. Have pent parts and book." Time and experience,they tell me, have now mode a verv fair actor of him. McKean Buchanan, the wont and roo-t fauiou* os the worst of disxy actors, use*l to be a sugar dealer in New Orleans. He got stage-struck and “sailed oat" as s star. He was a good fellow, witty, well educated, TALL AND FIXE LOoKIXO. He b-yl many friends, some of wliom encouraged Ids mania M a joke, and others from kindly feeling. Ho was the best tempered man that ever lived, if one might judge by the learning smiles with which he received the laughter and deris ive applause which greeted his Shakes pearean efforts, for nothing short of “Hamlet,” “Othello,” and such part* would he appear in. “My wardrobe,” he would say, ”i» too good for anything but old Bill.” And in those days no one in the west and south had seen the like of his cos tumes. It took a mountain of velvet to make him a king's cloak, and in his fear ful rushes on the stage, in one of “Othel lo’s” jealous frenzies, he would say to the actors standing at the wing: “Stand aside, minions! Make room for my three-ply—imported from Lyons, every inch of it! Blood’ Mood! Isgo? blood.” ro« his rnurr ugaoemexts bo vu utterly dumbfounded, Iwanse the audiences “guyed” him. but got need to it after a while, and a«repted the popular verdict; lie disarmed criticism by avow ing himself as the worst star actor in the civilized world, but be never truly lie* lieved that that was really the rase. He had a curious habit of losing his breath between sentences, and catching it up again with the exclamation of “a!” thua, he would cay: " Tla —a—he—a 1” “ Tis-a-she— a!” and “ Hang out—a— On the outward—walk—a Theory— a— When the actors would suggest now lendingn to him, he would loftily reply, “Look at the bouse! there isn’t standing room in front. I think my old readings will do well enough. He was aa rata a rosea player As ho was bad an actor. He hail an agent to travel with him who, in his business, was invaluable; he bad a thousand vir tues and one vice, which vice waa that he would rob Buchanan regularly every night of the larger part of his receipts, whether great or small. But the star was too smart to dismiss so good a business manager as that for such trifling weakness, which he met and overcame in another way. After the performance he wonld almost invarablv sit down with the agent at draw poker, and never fail to win hack all the money. He used to say “he liad to play tw ice over for every dol lar he got.” na. lawdm, or philaoeuhia, Was a most wonderful “di**y.” He knew ho was talented and was only kept down by local jealousy, w> after driving Phila delphia almost to rioi he went to New York, where for « time lie amused the patron* of one of the minor theatres by a round of tragedy Impersonation*. It I* ban! to Bay which part he played the worst, hut probably his Hamlet wan the most ghostly thing ever beheld outride of a morgue. “He used to drive the famous Count Johannes to frenxy by his challenges to play for the championship.” “How long,” said a crushed tragedian to a Uckdttferk in a depot, striking an attitude, it take a first-class actor to get to lodunk ?” “No longer,” replied the clerk, “than it would take any other first-class fool!” TH« MA* WHO PLATED WITH PoRREET. In the Frieco theatre was a lean, lan tern-jawed cockney, who, in despair of ever getting a syllable to utter, determined one night to attract the attention of. the audience and crown himself with glory by indulging In some by-play of his own. brilliant invention. T!te play happened to 1« Motamora, with the gentle and lamb-like Forrest as tho “big Injun." Our cockney was one of the (speechless) Indian tribe, ami got himself up bravely In rod painty feather*, leggings, tunic, moccasins and a tomahawk. In one of the great tragedian’s addresses to the re*! men this supe protended to self as the one red man especially spiral ed to, and, bursting into a shrill war whoop in the midst of Forrest's soliloquy, be rushed down to the right band comer of the stage, and, wildly brandishing his tomahawk over his head he indulged in n FHANTIC WAK-DANCR That set the audience screaming with laughter, hut his triumph was of brief duration, for, breathless with astonish ment and panting with rate, Forrest in stantly prepared for actioi. With one mighty Isumd he cleared tl.e Intervening space between the center of the stage and the cerner, and grasped the affrighted j supe hr the throat, forgetting in his tre-, mentions passion the character h»i was! impersonating and his surrounding-*. He shook the man until he sliouk him onto | bis marrow* hone*, and then roared out: “You fjnl, what are you doing here?” “Mr. Forrest—l—l— 1 " stammered the half-strangled supe, “I—l was honly hactiog a hit, air." No longer of the rank and file, that am bitious actor has keen for many yean past the captain of tho snpes at the theatre.

The name “Gotham” was first given to New York by Washington Irving and James K. Paulding in “PalmagniKli,” In allusion to the fact that the New Yorkers were accustomed to regard themselves as wiseacres, without due Justification. The use of the term bad reference to the nursery legend concerning the “Throe Wise Men of Gotham” who “went to aca in a bowl.” The original Gotham of the nursery rhyme is a parish in Nottinghamshire, England, whose people were noted (or tlieir remarkable stupidity and self-con ceit. Those traits of the fieople of the parish were w, widely known that they gave rise to a mimler of proverbs, and to the word “Gothilo,” which is recognized in literature a.id in the dictionaries n* an established synonym for “a fool wise in his own conceit.”—.V, Y.

The uubeavcnly, but not for that rea son reprehensible, fashion of marrying and giving In marriage reaches its climax in May ami June.

THE OLD FASIUOX of the bridesmaid and attendant cavaliers entering rlie room or church ami in arm is a thing of the past. The gentleman ushers who seat the company, ami who manage the lauineas of the wedding in the church, enter first. They come in slowly, two and two, followed by the bridesmaids, who bear bouquets of one color. Then the bride enter; leaning on her father’s arm; the usher* par: com pany, going to Uk- right and left, an.! re main standing on the lower step t ? the altar. Tl.e bridesmaids also move to the right and icit next the altar rail, leaving a space for the couple who are to he mar ried. The groom take* the bride’s hand, and receives her as she takes ihe fir-t step, having entered from the charnel with his best man, and remains standing beside the chancel rail. The signal for the clergy to enter is the arrival of tho WRii>i.'s Monies; the strikes up the wedding march ■ at the entrants of the first two usher* at - the church porch. The white ribbon across the aisle is dropped as soon as tho mother of the bride is seated. A knowl edge ami understanding of these “cues" I nnd attention to the details is v. hat makes j nchurch wedding “go off” beautifully, l and neglect of them reunite in delays and contretemps of ail sorts. The ceremony j over, the clergymen c ngraMlates the 1 bride, kisses her if sh„* Is one of his flock 1 whom he has chrlsteued, and the man an*l wife turn to leave the church, followed by the bridesmaid* and u-hers in reverse order. If a reception is to follow, the newly married couple take up their poal tion at aciiic agreed upon place in the drawing room, and TltK BMli^-HUW range thenisrlve* on either side ami ussst in the reccpti ;a of the guests. Tiic ushers’ duty is to bring up the -.neats and present them, and cot as tires© young men often suppose, to flirt with the bridesmaids; at least, not until all the guests have l*oa presented, and an adjournment U made to the diniii-yro-mi, or witer© th© collnti .n is served. Tb> n the usher* are fre© to en joy themselves as best suits them. The bride's mother abdicates her pliuc an h<ste**, and stands at the other eml of the room to re*-e ! ve the congratulations of hor friends. About the display of gifts tu-rtrs differ. |lt is very customary to arrange them ini an artistic fashion in llie ttjiper corridor, or one of the rooms, fur tbc pleasure of the guests. Others declare this to bo too utterly ami Awri LLY suonm And make no displsy. Tliis last idea Is i the veriest nonsense, of courjc. If 3 «.u ■ had bought the gifts for the vul;-ar pur pose of showing them off, that would be ostentations vulgarity, which is the high est evidence of wwnt of {weeding: but since these gifts are evidence of “how ] they (her friends) loved her,” there is no! principle of good manners violated in toe display of the bridal gift-*. But this is clearly a case of ehnemi a son gou . '• The bride should always write with hr own hand, thanking for any gifts se.it, l.c they Urge or small.
