The rewards of success on the stage
fire liberal, insists Franklin Fyles, the
dramatist antiylramatic critic, writing
of “The Theater and its People’* in the
Ladies' Home .fouiuai. They arc won
only by providing real entertainment of
some sort. The Javorite grows siowiv
. into favor, as a rule, hut there aie ex
ceptions. A strong play with a fitting
role may carry,.an actor into ciTebiity
at once. Managers are ever on thcaiert
to find some on of whom a star inav be
made. When one is chosen for that pur
pose a contract is made with him for
a term of years, usually five. The actor
receives the salary he had been accus
tomed to, and also a share of the profits,
increasing from ns little as ten per
cent, the first year to as much as 50
the 4ast. The manager chooses - the
plays, forms the supporting company
and conducts the business as he pleases.
ii ine manager is putting forward a star
w ho will appal to the better grade of
audiences, his methods of exploitation
will be dignified, vet he will neglect
nothing to arouse seemly interest—that
is, he will seek space in the newspapers
by having the actors address literary
bodies, discuss questions of dramatic
art with reporters and do other things
to catch intellectual attention. But the
end aimed at cannot be gained unless the
star gives the money’s worth of enter
tainment to his audiences.
Dark Ltgrlit.
In Science Francaise M. Le Bon show s
how, by the aid of a petroleum lamp,
it is possible to render objects visible,
even though concealed by opaque cov
erings—in fact, to realize the marvels
of the X-rays bv a simple apparatus.
A lamp gives off two sorts of light.
One is clear and luminous. The other
is non-luminous and invisible, which
he t*rms dark light, and which, like
the X-rays, is capable of piercing
opaque substances. According to M.
Le Bon, there are really no opaque
bodies; all substances are transparent;
but our being blind to the lumiere noire,
nr dark light, we fail to recognize this
translucency. .Me describes an experi
ment in which a newspaper is read by
means of light which has passed
through sheet iron.
Vultures Depend on Sight.
Vultures cannot discover a carcass
by the sense of smell. They rely en
tirely upon their sight when in quest
of food.
