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,
