Bir John Martin-Harvey is one of those happy individuals to whom hig lite--is life itself, He revels in the stage, in stage topics, and the spirit of the drama, and in the com- pany of the stage-obsessed. There is a stern practical side to Martin- Harvey nevertheless. He has push- ed his way in the face of many ob- stacles, he has conquered circum- stances with which the late John Wannamaker would not have scorn- ed to wrestle. When asked what he thought of the present day status of the thea- tre, he declared that of ome phase of theatrical production he knew nothing, but, speaking for what was highest and best in the profession, he said that there was not only a very considerable number of good plays to be seen, but a great deal of first-class acting. 8ir John was also asked how it was in the beginning of things that he looked to the theatre to make a career. "People; frequently ask me," he promptly rejoined, "did I come from | a family of actors, was I reared in | a theatrical atmosphere, had I from | ohilahood a burning desire to ac- | quire fame and fortune in the style | of Macready, Charles Keane, Henry | Irving?" Alas, to all these questions the answer was in the negative. "As a youngster I had no desire whatever to be an actor. My father being a hard-headed business man, | regarded the passion I really evinc- | ed for poetry as a mania. He re- | cognized quite clearly that fortunes are not made in dedicating odes to the Nor'easter and did not fail to , say what he thought in tive matter. { The truth ig, I exasperated him now | and then into the use of some rather | forcible language. "What is it you "wish to be?" used to ask. "I'm sure 1 don't know," invariably repHed. "Surely you have some idea." "Not the faintest notion." * "There {8 no money in silly verse- making; any fool could tell you so much." "Well, what am I to do?" I as "Ah! that was the question. One day, to my father's delight, I actu- ally manifested some interest in a play to which he took me. At the time my father was building a yacht for W. 8. Gilbert, and next time he had the opportunity, he asked that gentleman whether he could do any- thing to get me an opening 'in the theatrical world. The great man was courtesy itself, and suggested that I should do a little training under one, John Ryder, a well- known old-time actor. While toil- ing away under Ryder's tutelage, I resolved to look for 'a shop," an en- terprise which resulted in my being fleeced of a couple 'of guineas by a seedy looking individual who styled himself an instructor in the gentle art of make-up, but who turned out to be nothing more 'or less than an out-and-out rogue. "The next step in my career was an engagement which [I procured through a theatrical paper at thirty shillings a week in a play entitled "The Brigand of Abruzma." This 'engagement, however, proved a flas- A A A A A AA AAA AA AA A AAA eee nm GRAN R NR RNARA RARER JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS Our new stock of Crown {Ducal Ware is in and we do not know of anything in which you will find as many ' articles to select from.
