Extravagance of Dress--Exorbitant Dotnands of Loading Artists.-How Fortunos are Mado and Spent. ('r1C,pommke Bostonl Herald. The NOw Tork stage is more slumptuiouls than the istage of any city in Europe, not excepting that of Paris. If ia Pariisian managro spends 25,000 francs on the setting of a. " w play, ho thinks h1e has been prr 1. A New York manager s1' $25,000 on a nw play and th nothing of it. Such dress i]. s our actresses do, is not equ ilhed in Franco, or, indeed, in any society, domestic or foroign, however wealthy or distinguished. It is (oomed essontial now, at our leading houses, that an actress must havo an entirely now and elaborate costume in every act. Somo women, like Madelino Henriques, Agnes Ethel, Fanny D-venport, Clara Morris and others, have often worn costumes which cost, complete, from $15,000 to $20,000. When this is so,- how can any one expect to get a theatro ticket for less than $1.50. THE LION's ShAuE, Hardly any of the managers make money in the long run, prosperous as somie seasons imlay provo. And the reason that they do not lios mainly in the fact that the actors got the lion's share. I have talked lately with many managers and agents, and I confess that I have bon surprisod at the prices paid to followers of the mimetic art. It is well nigh useless to say that actors are recompensed according to their merit ; for it is well known that a mounto-bank may hoap up dolhars, while a man of genius and conscientiousness may be doomed to pover'ty. He or she who catches the popular fhney, or who suits the general tasto, Will be cortain of success, when a man above the reach of the many may be ill-re warded for his originality or his scholarship. As a rule, however, players of eminent ability are appreciated and draw handsomely. Charlatanm win and hold for a time, it is true; but genius on the stage is seldom noglected. JOHN T. RAYMOND. The career of playors is cul'ious, and tihe means by which they achievo reputation are interesting. They often struggle on for years, barely getting a livelihood, and then suddenly make a lut which insures them fame and fortune. John T. Reymond is a well known example of this. He wvent on the stage early, playing a great deal in the Califor'nia theatres, and never earning more than his expenses. He received, I have been told, only $50 a week up to the time that lie personaited Colonel Sellers. The character, as ever'ybody is aware, is taken from Twain and 'Warner's "Gilded Age." Twvain, over bent on augmenting his incomo, decided to dramatize the book, and ex pected to make tihe dr'amatization rather tragic than otherwise. He intended to render "Sellers" a serious part ; but Raymond, for wvhom the part was designed, pro-. nounced this a mistake, and suip.. ported his p)osition by such argn ments that the author finally yield ed. The comned ian co-operated with him, and so skilfully that the character of "Sellers" is virtually his literally, as it is wholly his histrionically. When the part, originally a subordinate one, "took" with the audience, it was gradually altored and amplified to its present proportions. "Scller's" soon1 be came tihe whole pice. Nobody cares for anybody or anything but him; he is actually the body and the soul of tihe comedy. If Ray mond made "Sellers,'" "Sellers" has made Raymond,. and Raymond is conscious of the fact. After actin'g.8ellere f9r some two months, RaymonWs8.salary was ad.. vanced to #100 a week, then to $150, then to $200, thon to $250, and finally to $800. Managers began to bid for him ; his value rose, like an energetically "bulled" stock in Wall street. He is now a card for any theatre. Hie ahares after exponses, and has cleared as much as $2,500 a week. His sud don good fortune has not harmed him. Always a good fellow, he is a better fellow than over, for he has more means to do kind things with. The soeret of his success in the character is that he is in mind and temperainent almost a counter part of Colonel Sellers ; so that in playing the part he has only to play himself. He is sanguine, good-natured, caroloss. opon.hand od. He likes games of chance, lively company, boon comradeship. Much money as he has made in the past three or four years, he never keeps any. It burns in his pockets. All his acquaintances are his friends. He hollis anybody and everybody who wants help. With all his rolicking disposition, he is domestic, being deeply attached to his wife, whose stage name is Mario Gordon, and who is a clever actress. He is about forty, and a thorough typo of a certain class of Americans. I have spoken of sharing ex penses. Somo porsons may not undorstand tho phraAo. It moans that the actors get half of the receipts above the expenses, which are not actually made out, but are estimatod, and estimatod differently in different citics. Hero the ex ponHos aro called at the principal houses $500 a night; in Boston they are $300 to $350; in Philadel phia, Baltimore and Washington about the same ; in Cincinnati, Chi cago and St. Louis, $200 to $250; in Buffito, Cleveland, Louisville and towns of similar size, $175 to $200 a night. LAWRENCE BARRETT Usually makes engagements on shares, though lie sometimes re ceives fixed amounts. When he first appeared here at Booth's Theatro he had $200 a night. He is not a great favorito at the metropolis, but he is such in New England and some parts of the West. Intellectual and painstaking, he lacks magnetism and breadth. Casius is his best part, for it does not demand creation of synipathy or remarkable delicacy of imagination. His habits are studi ous and unexceptionable. He is thirty-six or thirty-eight; has an amiable wife, two cfiildron, I believe, a good farm, where lie spends his summors, and some $50,000 or $60,00 worth of property besides. LOTTA, Or Charlotte Crabtree, generally designated as Little Lotta, has done very well pecuniarlly. Her acting is not of an excellent order, but is popular. 11or smallness, piquancy and abandon render her attractive, and people are wont to think of her as an alluring child-woman. Youth.. ful as she appears on the stage, she is no chicken. She is over thirty and unmarried. Of English parent age, her father is, or was, a kind of bibulous vagabond, and her mother is the dragon who accompanies and guards her. She commenced her professional life as a singer and dancer in the San Francisco- con cert saloons, and made money, for she was a favorite. Notwithstand., ing influence and temptations, she preserved her good name, and ere long was fired to be a regular actress. She succeeded in the smaller cities, and then appeared during the wvar at Niblo's. New York indorsed her, and she has cir culated freely over since. Begin. ning at $5 a week in Califoria, she often earns $800 to a $1,000 a week now. Sometimes she shares after expenses, and sometimes gets $100 to $150 a night. A thrifty little body, she has gathered together about $300,000, and will not be apt to have any less while her shrewd and worldly mamma directs her affairs. MAGGIE MITCHELL Is another small astute-woman, who may be ranked as a dramatic spe ein;list, since she appears in nothing except characters adapted to her size and method. On the stage she looks eighteen, but examined by the gas her face betrays her age. She is forty ; has been some time, is the mother of twvo children, and is the possessor of bonds,.checks and lands equivalent .to $250,000 om' $800,. 000. She'uged to play at the minor theatres here. (she was born In' the, Bowery), but she has not been seen' In tlpe metropolis for some ine, Wox the' most. part she travels with, her .0%~ o ay,her husband being.ta ~ d mpkess the best torz th gts.
