BRANDER MATTHEWS. a first rate raconteur. used to lell an amus- ing story about Maurice Barrymore. father of Ethel. John and Lionel of that ilk. Maurice was appearing in a play with the great Modjeska. when he said something that offended her and she retaliated by accusing hlm of ingratitude.

"And why should I be grateful to you?" asked Maurice.

"I have done so much for you," Modjeska explained. "I have taken you with me all over the United states. I have made you known."

O I I

THAT was too much for Barry- ITIOYE.

"Made me known?" he returned indlgnantly. "Let me tell you. Mad- ame. that Maurice Barrymore was knoxvn from Portland. Maine, to Portland, Oregon. wrhen nobody knew whether Modjeska was a tooth-wash or what!"

I

f1‘ WAS Maul-lee Barrymore who complained that upon his returning to London after a prolonged stay over here found that he could not get an engagement because of his having acquired an American ac? cent. and that he had forsaken New

engagemenls because of his English accent.

"There is nothing left fol-Jae to do.’ ‘he w-elled. “but to spend the rest of my life in fidld-rttlantlc."

ANOTHER of Brander Matthews‘ stories was about Clara Morris. the actress, who not only had the power of compelling tears from the spec- tators. but could herself shed them 1t will. James Lewis. the comedian. who was with her at Daly’s Theatre. used to say to her:

"Cry for us, Clara. won't you?" and the obedient tears would course down her check. -

IN Mexico City not long ago- af- firms Phillips Rilssell (in “Red Ti- ger: Adventures in Yucatan and Mexico"). a.‘ husband of North Am- erican birth and indubitable respect- ability coming indeed from Massa- chusetts. put his arm around his wife in a public park. For this he was seized by watchful gendannes. halcd to court. and released only be- cause the judge wished to be indulg- ent towards a foreigner. It seems that South of the Rio Grands af- fection is displayed in public only between men.
