Intrresiing Sketch of How “At Piney Ridge” Came to be Produced—Like Many Good Things, Was at First Be- iused, the rotund humorist, May Irwin, knows more of human nature than any. ten playwrights who dish up human foibles appetizingly for us. Miss Irwin, in her knowledge of our ill-nature, gets ahead of us 1with surprising ef- fect. Before we have time to laugh at her she laughs at herself. And that simply rivets our admiration. We love May Irwin. We are grateful to her. We think she is the funniest creature on earth, because, just to amuse us, she makes a butt of herself. “A cigarette firm wants to use my picture on their cigarettes,” says May Irwin. “They must contemplate en- larging their packages.” "Here’s a note from my manager,” she remarks, confidingly. “He wants me to play Rosalind.” MAY IRTVIN. We lean back and roar. We had been thinking rather sneeringly that Miss Irwin was very fat to dance and sing so skittishly. We had almost de- termined to pass unkind remarks ' about her as soon as we got home, and roast her generally. And. lo! and be- hold! this remarkable women knew us like a book, and got ahead of us. She cast her inferiority in our faces. She said to us, in efl‘ect, “You are nice and slim and lissome. I am awfully fat. Imagine me playing Rosalind! Ha! Ha! Ha! Think of my giant propor- tions wedged into a cigarette picture! He! He! He.” I will not hesitate to say that May Irwin’s immense vogue is due entirely to her marvellous under- standing of human nature. She is per- fectly aware of the fact that if she posed as a sylph, and stood in the cen- ter of the stage and warbled, “0h, love! I love you, my love!”,in the usual stellar manner, she would awaken nothing but our derision. In “The Widow Jones” May Irwin first won our approval by this remark: “The advantage of having a big mouth is that you can kiss and talk at the same time.” The audience was aghast at her daring; then they warmed into admiration of it. And clever May Irwin’s tactics un- doubtedly are—clever, tinged with a streak of genius. Dickens knew no more of human nature than does May Irwin. The beautv of it all is that while we think we are laughing at her expense, she is really laughing at ours. The latest story of genius that wouldn’t be crushed comes in connec- tion with the play At Piney Ridge, re- cently produced and pronounced a great success. This play was written by David Higgins, and is a melodrafima on somewhat old-fashioned and con- ventional lines. TWO years ago Hig- gins patched up a company and put his own play on in San Francisco. It won favor, and like many a man be- fore him he thought it must have a. New York indorscment before it could be a genuine “go.” This idea started him off across the continent, and in due time he was in New York. He danced attendance on Charles Froh- man at the Empire Theatre, but that magnate of the dramatic muse wouldn’t even see the Western author. Then he tried the other Froliman. but. though Daniel saw him the results were nil. Then A. M. Palmer was tried, and he pompoUsly said it was waste paper. Thus the entire list was run, and Higgins was disgusted and disheartened. His wife, however, held her faith in him and his play. She, somehow 01' other, met Burr McIntosh, who had been engaged by Miner 1‘3; Brooks, theatrical contractors, for a starring tour. The contract nomin.q ted Mr. McIntosh to secure a play that. would suit his abilities and the tastes of the public, and in recompense of his services in thus finding and perform- ing a good play the party of the first part became bound to pay the party of the second part a salary of $100 a week and 25 per cent of the profits of the said play. McIntosh rea'd At Pi- ney Ridge, saw its merit, and wanted to start out with it. Knowing that the other managers had rejected it, Miner & Brooks wouldn’t have the play, and McIntosh didn’t take it on the road. Finally, everything else failing, Mr. Higgins determined to prove his faith by his work. He and his wife and his two brothers, who had places in trav- eling companies, scraped enough money together to put the play on at the American Theater in New York, and it is one of the successes of the season. Now everybody wants it, and it is- going'to London. Its success cha«_ grinned all the dramatic dictators, and Burr McIntosh is mad clear through. He is-now playing a part in the drama. One of the old-time favorites is Sol Smith Russell, who holds a unique place or. the American stage, a place, be it said, which one would find well nigh impossible to fill. for his style is peculiarly- his own, and there is a quaintnpss. and dryness about it which defies imitation.

One of the big Lynn shoe shops made a pair of ladies’ boots for the Paris Ex- position of 1889 in twenty-four min- utes. A notary public followed the operation, watch in hand. For this feat the pair of shoes went through the usual routine of the shop, but at exceptional speed. Since that time the division of labor upon a pair of shoes has become still greater, and there is a larger number of machines employed, with the result that a pair of ladies’ boots can be made complete in this factory inside of twenty minutes. ‘ "Do you think that druggist is realé iy deranged '2" “Yes, crazy as a bicycle rider.
