Augustin Daly Believes Life Worth Living. Sensible Plea for Weekly Change of NEW Yottx, Mareit 7.Since the episode in the garden of Eden mankind has been in search of some new thing. Sometimes it is fortunate that they find it. now and then on the contrary quite the reverse. In St.

Paul's time you know it was the habit for people every afternoon to go up to hiar's hill to bear the news. That's because there were no daily papers printed. If THE GLOBE had been on sale down town the good folks would have been accommodated then as as they are today. This desire for something new seems to be a kind of mainsPring, not to say a mania. and extends through every realm of civilized life.

Inventors are continually suggesting not alone new ideas in the interest of the great economies of life, but for children's toys as well. A man who has a story to tell, and can preface it by saying it is new and it is good." is always certain of an interested auditor. If one cared to be frivolous it would be easy to lug in the all-pervading asire of a 'woman for a new bonnet at this point, but there is a lesson beyond bonnets in this everlasting restlessness for something new. A novel style of entertainment, a new face behind the footlights, a departure from old-time methods; in any way is certain to attract attention, and. if it finds favor, to become the rage.

At the same time It is Wise to Remember that history, like fashion, repeats itself. Take a tailor's card for men or women, and examine, as doubtless you often have. the processional changes in costume for hundreds of years, and you would be surprised at all events interestedto find how constantly recurrent are the various forms and habits. Just so with historical events. There are eras of war and times of peace.

Certain branches of the church have periodic revivals. as they are called, when some mysterious induence pervades an entire community and thousands literally go every morning to service, who, under ordinary circumstances. would consider themselves very proper and correct if they went to church ouce a week. As it is in that realm, so it is upon the stage. I don't know that I see any indication at present of going back to the old style of farce playing.

Not that we don't have farces enough on the stage. but as you remember 30 odd years ago there were theatres in every city devoted to farce playing. and instead of having a long coniedv or tragedy. the bill for the evening would contain from three to live farces of the most laughable description. depending not upon magnificent mountings, not upon gorgeous costumesbut upon ludicrous situations, witty turns of phrase, repartees quick and biting.

Of late it is the fashion in some of ottr theatres to have a curtain raiser, as it is called, but they are rarely of the tarce nature, they are generally sentimental bits Like "Old Love Letters." for instance, played byatwo or three characters. This-habit finds favor with some, because it permits them to come to the theatre at 9 o'clock instead of 8. It finds favor with others because it is a pleasant introduction to the more serious work of the evening, and it may be that it is leading up to the old habit of a farce preceding or following the tragedy or the substantial production of the night. Since the days of "Humpty Dumpty," and by "elumpty Dumpty" I mean the "HumPty Dumpty" of George L. Fox, we have had no pantomime worthy of mention.

As a dim reminiscence of my boyhood recall the revels in what was felicitously termed in those days Niblo's Garden. They were marvellous. amusing without being vulgar, grotesque without being common, marvellously gifted as acrobats and with faculties of facial expression which enabled them, without being contortionists, to convey ideas clearly and unmistakably without the media of words. For a long tune after they were here there was no pantomime until Humpty Dumpty was brought out in the old Olympic Theatre, with the two FoxesGeorge and Charlesas the clown and pantaloon. I forget how long that ran.

but I think two or three years, delighting everybody, old as well as young. and coining fortunes for the proprietors of the then-tree and artists. The latter dying, however, in the ex tremest poverty and ohecure intellect as well. The Sad Record of the Stage. What a book might be -written upon the disasters of the modern stage alone! Without passing beyond the tummy of our younger can find names eminent in their day which faded into deserved obscurity before they were lost beneath the sod.

It is not a pleasant topic, and we will Pass it. recurring to pantomimes and the fact that we have had none worthy of the name for many years. I take more than ordinary pleasure in telling you of a venture which has attracted the critical attention and popular sueport of the press and public during the week now closing, but which was not destined to live long. Last summer all Faris was interested in a pantomime called "The Prodigal Son," and it occurred to Mr. Augustin Daly that it would be a good idea to transplant the play without words to the boards of his artistic and popular theatre.

It was regarded as risky by his friends, for his company, built upon peculier lines. is an extraordinary illustration of the fitness of selection. Each member appears to have been drawn for a unique and individual purpose. It would be impossible to find in any other combination of artists so many whose peculiar temperaments. gifts and attainments tit them for special work along clearly perceptible lines as can be found in Daly's company.

For all that the public has been brought to a full recognition of Daly's managerial tact, and knowing that he is where he is. and as lie is for the dotal purpose of accomplishing artistic results and making money, the public has learned to abide in confidence in his judgment and discretion. Therefore, when it was announced that Miss ilehan had been cast for the of the non, end those of us who had seen the play on the side recalled the sight. delicatR, bisque-like lady played it with marvellous sentiment. wondered how a woman who had made such conspicuous successes in paths so very divorgent, requiring physical of a peculiar nature, could handle this role.

which would seem to require a petite and crirtish figure. Miss Hoyden. Hippolyta, Helena. Jennie CJones. Rosalind.

Katherine and Lady Teazle are cue thinz. but when you come to a pantomimic boy, ott are confronted with quite another. So with all deference to Rehan-s many accomplishments, and with a well-rounded recoquinion of her ability to handle Zerk.M3 ditliCtLWe3 as wel cealical almanee dreadfully behind time. When one did It ea a trick to get "head of the rest. is was supposed to be worth while.

But when all did it. the absurdity was too apparent. The ordinary society lie of "Not at home," Is still supposed to he necessary. But perhaps, by and by, we shall get civilized enough to recognize one's right to his personality and time. even when he is at home.

Then that will rase away. I hope no one will think I am asking him to toe too good. If he fnds lying really necessary. vi by then I have nothing to gay. Only let us give up so much of it ag is entirely superfluous.

M. J. SAvAutt. AMERICA'S FIRST ABOLITIONIST. Moecvez D.

CONWAY, the well-known Eliglish author and Radical, ban discovered a remarkable essay. written by THOMAS PAINE, Whie Ids blographets seem to have passed over, but for welch the charities of this enhghtenel and libettal age owe that remarkable patriot clue credit. This cvsay Mr. CONWAY has dug out of an al copy of the Pennsylvania Journal, published not long before the organization of the government. It is a ringing plea for the vatural riglik to liberty of the enslaved negro.

which might Isave delighted the heart of Pitinntrs or GARRISON, and it stands without question as the first antislavery appeal ever published in this country. liad the advice and warning of PAINE been heeded chattel slavery would never have been sanctioned under the American Constitution. He goes over the whole ground. Ile aeserts the inalienable right of the black man to liberty and calls upon press. pulpit and statestnen to stand up and denounce not only the African filave trade.

but slavery itself. It an "infidel boast" should attach to the first abolitionist on this continent, it should be stated that at the time Pailex wrote this appeal he was a devout Christian. It was 20 years later that he became an infidel and wrote the "Age of Reason." And what is still more remarkable Mr. CONWAY bilOWS that in the Pennsylvania Magazine (1775) THOMAS PAINE pointed out the wrongs of woman and sowed the first seeds that have grown into a demand for equal rights, equal privileges and the ballot for women, lie makes a clear case from the reeords that PAINE WSS the first abolitionist and the first advocate of woman's rights in this nation. In these days.

when PAINE'S theological views are not more radical than those of some of the most disthiguished pulpits in the United States, can we not afford at least to be charitable to the friend of WASHINGTON and JEFFERSON, in the light of the brave pleas for the negro and for woman which Mr. CONWAY has dug up and quoted from long-forgotten sources? SAMUEL J. Wtsemate. THE LAST SNOW. With the advent of the first spring month blusterer and provoker of discomfort that he islwith each succeeding flurry of the snow.

with each small or greater downfall of the "frozen letthers." we draw a semi-happy, semi-doubtful sigh and say, Yankee fashion in this New England climate: "I guess that's the last snow." However much we may like snow as a winter concomitant. however much we anticipated its companionship of jingling sleigh bells, blazing hearths and long evening amusements. we all appear ready for spring when March comes whistling around the corner of the year's quadrangle. March reminds one of a rough, uncouth. burly fellow, who rips out an expletive the moment before he takes a needy stranger into the nearest tavern or cook shop to give him a hot meal.

March does not mean half his rough manner indicates, and. like that same burly chap, March has nearly always something nice in his pocket to bestow on others. Some philosopher once said that there ought to be a law prohibiting MOW within six milea of a city. Such a law on the statnte book might read as well as many others and be quite as inoperativeprohibition laws particularly. However, the "last snow" will soon be here, if it has not been already, and Ho! billy bel and that chorus.

sort of thing for the new, green grass and the tulips and the crocuses! We'll all sing a merry roundelay and shunt our overshoes into an attic closet. We'll dance a jolly ineasure und buy a pound of camphor to bestow upon the good, comforting, thick overcoat as we bid it goodby for a few months. We'll pipe a joyous tune and hunt up bright new ribbons. gay beckties. and we'll blow our finger tips an extra half-hour before well again put on these thick gloves.

Let us conciliate March. Let its not even quote "flail! Gentle for fear the bail might suggest more snow, and we'll all welcome the new season with just as much new heartiness as if it were the first time we'd ever met it, but knew it had come with splendid letters of Introduction and highly recommended. It really seems as if our much-loved poet must have committed himself a little early in lifehe is so hearty in natures praise each recurrent year. When Lowell wrote over twenty years ago: One spring I knew as never any since; All night the surges of the warm southwest boomed ticerinittent through the shuddering elms, Anit brought a morning from the Gulf adrift, omnipotent with sunshine, whose quick charm Startied With erceuses the sullen turf. A mi wited the bluebird to his whiff of song.

That is a glorious description, and makes a spring-time sensation in the heart. however chill the wind blows against the window pane; but, dear poet, who made us fledgling students so proud by prefacing your every lecture with "Gentlemen and fellow-atudeets," has it really been -never any since'?" On. no: of course it could not be eccry leer the same story, so heavenly; but let us say every other year, or every third year, at least. At all events, we can have some of that glorious feeling, if eca ail we'll have crocuses to COAX the sullen turf, if not to startle" it, and we will get a let of it whiff of the blue bird's song. just a note or two.

surely. this spring, very soon nowthat is. if we have sun, or when we do see the last snow till winter comes again. NATL. CHILDS.

ette found his situations, I am free to say I make this admission all the the more freely because I wish to emphasize the which attended her performance at the initial presentation. and which it is but fair to say was enhanced by subsequent practice. That the author of the Prodigal Son got his idea from the Bible. I dare say, but there is not the faintest suggestion of the biblical story in the pantomime as written or presented. In the Bible you remember the father had a fatted calf and a gold ring.

and a garment of tine linen prepared when be heard his son was coining. and he Went out to meet him, which is a very different eort of preparation from that which the father of our prodigal son conceived Os a fit compensatton to the young rascal who had stolen his money and wasted it in riotous delights and rascally revels. I will tell you about it, and I tell you of it for three reasons. First, because even this temporary Revival of Pantomime is an illustration of my so tospeak text. that we are always seeking for something new.

Second. because an esteemed friend and an enterprising manager took a great risk. and third, because I know the readers of Tug BOSTON GLOBE are interested in all first-class productions by first-class artists in a first-class house. The story is brief. Pierrot, the father, Charles LeClercq.

and Pierrot. Mrs. Gilbert. are blessed with a young son. Miss Behan.

They are a dear old couple, and as they sit at the family table, leisurely partaking of the evening meal, the young scapegrace, sitting with yawn and dissatisfaction with them. they present a charming picture of rural simplicity, conjugal affection and domestic delight. Their sole discomfort arises from the fact that their boy is restless, discontented. Two neighbors call. One a pretty young girl.

Virginie, the true. Miss Irving; the other. Phrynette, the fickle, Miss Adelaide Prince. From the one, in whose eyes the love light dances, the boy turns with unfeigned disgust; with the other, a bright and beautiful and winsome but wordly maiden. he becomes enchanted.

Buoyed up with a hope of possessing her. the lad breaks into his father's desk while the old couple are sleeping after their meal. and fills his pocket with bank notes and coin. While he is thus engaged the noise be makes awakens father and mother, wnose eyes, horror struck. meet.

and then as though each said to the other 'let us pretend ignorance." their eyes were closed, and the boy rushes off. In the second act with his mistress the prodigal is found in sumptuous apartments but unable to meet financial demands, which so enrages his Pretty But Heartless Charmer, that she leaves him by himself. seeking the seclusion of her own room. Disheartened, brought face to face with a Chinese wall of embarrassment. the prodigal slips cards up his sleeve and goes off to play.

During his absence a wealthy acquaintance, a baron. Mr. Sidney Herbert, calls. hiving prefaced his coming by a present of pearls, and offers to pay the bills and take charge of her future if the light of love will fly with him. which she declines, unless to go as his wife.

That point conceded, they leave. The boy, having won marvellously. re turns to find his rooms deserted. He throws his money away and starts homeward. Prior to his corning a touching scene is pictured by the two oh! people.

They can't eat. their claret has no pleasure for them, they don't read. they sit and think and the old mother surreptitiously hugs the portrait of her boy to her saddened breast. Instantly the old man. though ashamed of his honest grief.

grasps a cane to show what he would do if the boy were to come, and tells pathetically the story of his disappointment. of the boy's theft, of his dissipations. of his rascalities and how richly he would merit the punishment he would certainly receive were lie to dare to darken his father's door again. During a temporary absence of the old man. the boy returns and received with cordial welcome by the mother who conceals him in a bedroom when the father comes back.

Feeling Something Intuitively, the old man regards his wife with suspicion rind distrust, to avert which she calls her son from his hiding place, whereat the old man seizes his stick again and is about to beat the boy, when the mother interferes. the father's heart, relents. his arms open, and ho fOrgives him, particularly as in response to the strains of a martial band heard in the distance, the lad, with theatric demonstration of flag and cap and gun, signifies his intention to enlist and redeem his name by honest service in the field. The story you see is short. It would be impossible to conceive a more touching picture than that offered by the father and mother from the first tableau to the closing scenes.

It is simply a chant. winsome to a degree, and touching to every parent, as it should be suggestive to every child. One of the best scenes in the entire play occurs between Phrynette and the Baron. No words are needed; sighs. glances.

shrugs, facial exnressions tell the story of proffer, rejection, inducement, acceptance and reward as plainly as though printed in full-faced type and read with a forty-ton lung orator. Miss Prince on this occasion was a revelation. She has done minor work in Daly's before, but nothing which in importance or success approaches her efforts on this occasion, which were abundantly seconded by those of Mr. Herbert, the two deserving, as they received, an enthusiastic recall. Of Leclercci and Mrs.

Gilbert it Is unnecessary to say aught outside of this particular play, for their names are known wherever Daty's company has been, and their fame as expert delineators is as safe as that of any member of their honored and honorable profession. Jut Ada ftehan. What of Heel It has been said of her that she is always Ada Rehan. That, you may remember. was what I said of Bernhardt.

but it is equally true of every pronounced individuality. Lester Wa Pack was always Lester Wal leek, wearing different costumes in different plays. I defy you in seeing Bernhardt as Cleopatra and subsequently as Camille to forget that it is Bernhardt. yet she stands at the head of actors the world eiound. I never found fault with the man who said he "didn't like Ada Rehan because she wa-s always Ada Rehan." If he said "she carries into evety part her peculiarities of pronunciation and manner," there would have been a field for argument, but to say simply that she is herself is to record that she is like other actors, and as I conceive must be the case.

save when characters are played which permit of the concealment of feature, as with a beard for instance. That precise opportunity Miss Behan had in vaatominie. Iler file wore the traditional powder of the pantomime, and her hair was concealed beneath the traditional black skull cap of the clown.
