The glance of an eye is a transient thing, That is gone ere the glance is born, Like the song of a bird, that awakes to sing, To the first faint rays of morn. But, out from the soul, there is one thing sweet, Set free from all thought of guile, To serve as a guide to wandering feet — 'Tis the warmth of a sunny smile. And the smile shall live, though the years that were Shall be lost in the years to be. And the heart of a future age shall stir With its broad humanity. Behold! a sower went forth to sow Good seed in the Master's field. The tale that was told, in the long ago, The fruit of his toil revealed. And another parable I would tell. Though it be with a faltering pen, Of a noble soul who sows so well. Good deeds in the hearts of men. And though some of them fall on stony ground, And bring him no sweet return. And though some in the blazing sun are found, Where they dry and wither and burn. There are others that fall in the soil of love. And up from the swelling seed, There springeth a blessing from Heaven above, To comfort, in time of need. And the day shall come when the sower shall reap, And the peace of advancing years Shall be sweet as a long and dreamless sieep And the waking free from tears. And his summons shall come, like the call of a friend, And the setting of life's bright sun, Will be a beginning and not an end. For the world will say: "Well done." HOW TO AID THE ACTORS WHO AID ALL WORTHY CHARITIES There are no people in the world so charitable as the actor folk — to none is so little charity shown. * % % * * % % * DURING the last six months the demands of charity upon the people of the United States have been almost incalculable. In one way or another millions of dollars have been raised to aid sufferers from the for- eign war, while widespread business depression at home has caused unusual need for philanthropy here. WHO CAN ESTIMATE THE EXTENT TO WHICH THIS CAMPAIGN FOR CHARITABLE FUNDS HAS BEEN AIDED BY THE SYMPATHY AND GENEROSITY OF THE PEOPLE OF THE STAGE? Scarce a week has passed since last November with- out one or more benefits in New York alone for the Belgians, the French, the British, the Germans, for Red Cross nurses, American ambulance corps, or this or that distinctive charity in the war zone. It is needless to be specific. Nothing is more firmly impressed upon the mind of the everyday citizen than the number and the success of these benefits in which the player folk gave of their very best for the cause of charity. To do this the participants had necessarily to neglect themselves while giving the money they earned to others. They could not respond so generously to all calls without sacrifice. And the public should no longer accept such sacrifice as a matter of course. It should not seek such generous aid and then be forgetful of the generous givers in their hour of need. The press and public and those interested in charities have it in their power to make return in kind, though inadequately, for the aid given by actors to all charitable causes. The chief charity maintained by stage people for stage people is the Actors' Fund. It is pitifully inadequate, but it exists and should be greatly increased. It would be but poetic justice for the actors to request that every now and then other professional men should give half a day to earning money for this fund — as actors give their time to other funds. As this is impracticable it is a part of the duty which generous actors owe to themselves as well as to others to see that this Actors' Fund receives its proper share from the charitable efforts and contributions of actors and actresses. NO BENEFIT SHOULD HEREAFTER BE GIVEN FOR ANY 7 CHARITY IN WHICH AT LEAST 25 PER CENT. OF THE PROCEEDS DOES NOT GO TO THE ACTORS' FUND, in addition to which there should be even' year certain benefits, ardently supported by the press and the public, to swell the receipts of the Actors' Fund. These stage people, so generous in their response to the needs of others, should not them- selves be left in their last hours to penury and misery. The Hearst newspapers, which gratefully recall the *reat assistance of the theatrical world in their charitable endeavors, invite the co-operation of other newspapers and of the public generally in this worthy purpose. — New York American, January 18, 1915. 1885 Thirtieth Anniversary 1915 SANGER & JORDAN Successors to FRANK W.SANGER Established 1885 International Play-Brokers and Authors Agents WALTER C.

Up spake the Shepherd of the Fold : "My boy, don't be so rash, The Bulls and Bears that haunt the Street wax fat on Lambkins' cash. Restrain your speculative hunch, cling to your hard-earned gold; And if you wish to gamble, gambol safely in the Fold. The Lamb disdained this sage advice, and straightway hied him where His presence raised expectancy in every Bull and Bear. They thought that when the Lamb was broke, his fleece a total loss, The rest of him would make a pleasant banquet — with mint sauce. He coyly nibbled Steel Preferred, of U. P. took a chew, And in that dangerous pasture browsed for a month or two. By every rule of common sense that was ever known to man, Those Bulls and Bears should have enjoyed a hearty meal of lamb. Instead of which they fell before that Lambkin, one by one, And on the day he quit the Street he had them on the run. The Lamb is now uptown again, with half a million cold, Content with this, he gaily spends his interest in the Fold. Lambs' tales are always moral, — at least so I've been told, — And this one seems to point to Fortune's favoring the bold. But Fortune is a fickle jade, as every bromide knows, And though she smiled on this brave Lamb see what the sequel shows: Some fifty of his fellow Lambs envied his lucky stroke, They forthwith followed in his lead — and every one went broke. WHEN YOU CANT JUDGE AN ACTOR BY LAMB MONTAGUE GLASS Author of "Potash and Perlmuiter" you hear it that Max Tuchman has got a son by the name of Ralph Tuchman which is now working as an actor ? " Louis Gurin, the real estater asked as he sat opposite B. Rashkind in the Regal Vienna Restaurant and Cafe. "Sure I hear it," Rashkind answered, "and I ain't got no sympathy with Max neither, Gurin, because if a feller calls his son by such a name as Ralph, y'under- stand, the best he could expect is that a feller should turn out to be an actor or something." "Seemingly you don't think very high of actors," Gurin commented. "I think just so high from actors as anybody does, Gurin," Rashkind declared, "which I don't know nothing about 'em, Gurin, because I ain't got no actors in my family, Gott sei dank." "Why Gott sei dank?" Gurin asked. "So far as I found out up to date, Rashkind, you ain't got no rabonim in your family neither, which if you could claim for a relation such an actor like Dovid Warfield oder a concern like Montgomery & Stone, y'understand, you wouldn't got no kick coming, believe me." "Dovid Warfield is another good actor, only in a different way," Gurin continued. "Warfield owns tenement property, otherwise he is just as good as Montgomery & Stone, y'understand, and some says even better by a couple of hundred thousand dollars." "Is that so!" Rashkind cried. "Furthermore George M. Kohn is also good for a half a million dollars at the very least," Gurin went on, "and still another very good actor is a feller by the name Corse Payton, which he owns property in Brook- lyn, although of course, Gurin, none of these here actors is as good as they used to be, Gurin, on account of the way real estate is so dead nowadays, especially in Brooklyn." Rashkind wagged his head from side to side and made incoherent sounds through his nose indicating surprise too acute for verbal expression. "So you see, Rashkind, you should be very careful what you say about actors," Gurin concluded, "because you never could judge if an actor is good or not just from seeing him on the stage." i HAIG & HAIG SCOTS Oldest Known Whisky on Earth House Founded A.D., 1679 Haig & Haig Pinched Decanters TWENTY YEARS IN THE WOOD HIGHEST QUALITY PRODUCED CLAREMONT RIVERSIDE DRIVE NEW YORK CITY For more than half a centurv CLAREMONT Was the World's Most Beautiful Suburban Restaurant LONGUE VUE NOW IS While CLAREMONT , still beautiful LONGUE VUE is 60 MILE VIEW Management: R.

STEVENSON LILLIAN LORRAINE DONALD CAMERON ALICE DOVEY LYNNE OVERMAN ZOE BARNETT HERMINE SHONE WHY I LIKE THE LAMBS By LAMB GEORGE ADE AFTER inspeeting many clubs, 1 hand the diamond medal to The Lambs. It is a real club and not a semi- hotel in which strangers look at each other while partaking of food. The club is not so elaborately organized that the machinery projects through the social fabric. The Lambs are not few enough to be lonesome nor sufficiently numerous to be lost ° to one another. They fight just enough to insure a proper circulation and work for the common good without putting on virtuous airs. Each member tries to remain young up to the age of eighty, to have some fun as he goes along and leave tilings in better shape than he found them. In The Lambs there is a kernel of democ- racy, more or less surrounded by New York aristocracy and plutocracy. Xo member was ever known to tremble in the presence of any other member. You have heard the wheeze, "Pride goeth before a fall." It was written for The Lambs. Here is one club in which you do not find frigid gentlemen with fishy eyes looking about apprehensively for fear they will be entrapped into social recognition of some one who doesn't quite belong. You can walk into The Lambs without disturbing some one who is taking a nap. I live away off in the timber. Sometimes I visit the club only once or twice a year, but always I think of it as an oasis — one of the real and regular places for stopping and camping. I am not surprised to hear that The Lambs have jumped in this year to help get some money for The Actors' Fund. The Lambs are always ready to turn out in the middle of the night and go on a run, the same as a village fireman. WHEN ACTORS WERE NOT VAGABONDS By LAMB RUPERT HUGHES WHEN' a member of the British royal family visited New York a few years ago, he accepted the hospitality of only one club — The Lambs. Incidentally, he made one of the best after-dinner speeches ever heard in that home of after- dinner speeches — or, rather, of after-supper speeches, for he spoke at the spread served at midnight after a Gambol. At that time many people remarked, "And to think that not so long ago, actors were considered vagabonds!" The same remark is always made when an actress marries into the peerage or an actor is knighted, though Lavinia Kenton became the Duchess of Bolton as long ago as 1751. and as early as 525, A. D., the actress, Theodora, became the wife of the Roman Emperor Justinian. The first actor to be knighted was doubtless the famous Koscius . who was made a knight in the year 50 B. C. He was a great friend of Cicero, as was another actor, Aesopus, who built up such a great fortune that when he died, his son and heir was able to dissolve a forty thousand dollar pearl in vinegar and drink it to see how it would taste. I was surprised to read the other day of a Jewish actor in early Rome. When the great Hebrew general and historian Josephus, arrived in Rome and wanted to get an audience with the emperor, Nero, he applied to this actor. Aliturus, who was a favorite at court. Alituru- 11 -ed hi- influence with the tyrant to good effect and on two • ,' ' ;i i-.n- -e< ured pardon and release for Jewish prisoners in Rome. About the same time the actor, Paris, was at the height of his influence, and Juvenal said, "If you want to get the royal favor — ask an actor, not a lord." Some of the actors were men of great dignity and the fierce satirist. Martial, wrote a beautiful tribute to the actor, Latinus, in tie- form of an epitaph. It can be roughly translated in prose: "I am the ornament of the stage, the glory of the spec- tacles, l.atimis, that applauded man. your favorite. But my life had not been colored by the theater, and I belonged to the MUM only in my art. I could not have been acceptable to God without morality, for God sees the inner soul. Call me if you will the parasite of Apollo, provided Rome knows also that I wan the servant of Jove." In the middle ages the actor and the drama suffered much p« iition from bigotry, but so did sculpture, and science, and Rcholflrf hip. Actors have never been repressed except in times of ferocious intolerance. And during those periods there were always little wcret meeting* for dramatii performance, since the drama has always l»ern a religion to its follower*. When civilization emerged from tin- dark ages, the stage came forth with the other liberal arts. In Italy, an actress, the wife of an actor, was elected to the Academy of Padua; another actress, Yicenza Pannini, was so honored that she was received with a salute of cannon by the towns she visited. The actors and actresses were fawned upon by the nobility then as now. Everybody knows that Shakespeare was in favor at court and Queen Elizabeth asked him to write a second play about Falstaff. When Burbage died the Earl of Pembroke mourned him profoundly. Moliere was loved by Louis XIV who stood godfather to his child. and also suggested a scene in one of his plays. David Garrick was a pet of the court and made a great fortune When In- retired lie sold hi- share 111 Drurj I .me for >i;^. 1. The novelist Fielding said, in 1728: "The stage at present promises a much better provision than any of the professions. The income of an actor of any rank is from six to twelve hundred pounds a year: whereas that of two-thirds of the army is considerably under one hundred; the income of nine-tenths of the clergy is less than fifty pounds a year, and the profits of the law. ol ninety-nine in the bundled, amount not to a single shilling." The famous actor, John Philip Kemble, bought a sixth interest in Covcnt Garden for $100,000. W hen it burned down the Duke of Northumberland made him a loan of $50,000 and refused repayment. Recently when Forbes Robertson, after being knighted, was given a dinner by the most prominent men of New York. President Wilson sent him a message of felicitation. One might go on indefinitely proving how high the actor has stood in the esteem of the world. He i< not always content to weal a lath sword and mimic heroism. In the armies engaged in the present war are numberless actors. Due member of The Lambs. Robert Lorraine, was wounded in his airship; and our inede-t familiar friend, Wallace McCutcheon, earned the Victoria Cross by his distinguished valor. It is a curious thing that actors, who are a byword of mutual jealousy, have been more jealous lor the welfare of their profession than any other class of men. They are always ready to lend their art to the benefit of any charity, and when they ask the public for money they always give value fourfold for it. The present benefit is The Lambs' contribution to the heroic effort to rescue the Actors' Fund from the throes of hard times combined with the ruin of war. The public is not requested to gi\e of its charity, but to accept a wholesale splendor of talent at a nominal price. The ftCtor has won and held his position In the social scale by making himsell worth while. He is now defending and comforting his ve' ■rans. That very generosity of human sympathy which makes him a good actor, is the quality that makes him a good financier. OFFICERS OF THE LAMBS Shepherd . . . .
