Modern Stage Decadent, Says Old Timer John J. McCloskey Talks on the New Theater, Julia Marlow, E. H. Sothern and Other Actors And Tell How Things Used to Be in the Olden Days.

New York, Nov. 23. According to :

James J. McCloskey, old time actor and playwright, there aren't many actors nowadays. Also the new theater up in Central Park West is really quite a nice little theater. In addition, Mr. B. H. Sothern seems to be a well meaning young man who should have been born seventy years ago, when the conditions were such that he might have learned how to act. And although as it is he and Miss Marlowe don't do so very badly, still you all should have dropped around to tha old Broadway Theater at Broadway and Worth street in 1850 and seen' Mr. McCloskey and Edward E. Eddy and Mme. Ponisi and Harry Pierson and Alice Grey and a few others do "Antony and Cleopatra" as it ought to be done and as take it from Mr. McClos

key it will never be done again. i Mr. McCloskey has been off the stage! now for thirty years, but speaks with j

the authority of one who has acted with Booth, McCullough, Forrest and a host of other notables. He is eighty three years old and lives entirely sur-

And they were entitled to be sore, too. Two rehearsals were plenty for any actor that knew his business those days. Those were the days of versatility and of versilitarians. Mourns for Old School.

Knox Uses Shotgun Policy Dealing With Southern Republics.

NICARAGUA AN EXAMPLE

WHICH IS THE BETTER POLICY? DIPLOMATS ARE ASKING KNOX DEMANDS FAIR TREATMENT FOR AMERICANS.

Washington, Nov. 25. In the language of "short sleeve" diplomacy the shotgun has taken the place of the soft word In the dealings of the state department with Central and South American republics. In the opinion of many "diplomats the aggressive Mr. Knox, by his sharp handling of the Chilean and Nicaraguan affairs, has undone the greater part of Secretary Root's work of changing the attitude of those republics toward the United States. There is a radical difference between the. policy of the preceding administration and that of the Taft administration in handling our southern neighbors. It was the ambition of Secretary Root to destroy the fear and

suspicions of the United States entertained by Latin Americans and to substitute a fraternal, trustful feeling in its stead. Mr. Root made a long journey to those countries, met their big statesmen and business men and personally assured them of the friendliness and aincere interest of the large nation. In the state department he showed the greatest consideration and leniency in pushing American claims against the semi-bankrupt republics. He protected them from harsh treatment at every turn.

Americans of their suspicion and dislike for us. A lot of American claimants, who were unable to get satisfaction from Castro, Zelaya and other slow payers, had only a small appreciation of the Root diplomacy. But it seemed to make a' hit with the heads of the governments concerned. There has been a complete reversal of the Root policy in dealing with the delinquent South American republics. The relations established by Mr. Root have been smashed right and left. "Pay up or take the consequences" has been Secretary Knox's motto. The first thing Secretary Knox did after coming into the state department was to make President Zelaya of Nicaragua understand that the Emery claim must be paid at once, or American gunboats would be on the scene to make trouble. There were no mollycoddle terms in the Knox ultimatum. Chile Backed Down. Zelaya paid up. Then came the crash with Chile. That republic backed out of an agreement to settle the Alsop claim. Mr. Knox fired an ultimatum in that direction. "Agree to arbitration fn ten days or we will withdraw our minister," cabled Knox to Santiago. After recovering their breath the Chileans complied. It was very different from the Root way of doing things. Now Mr. Knox is putting the screws on Nicaragua again. The mischiefmaking Zelaya is to feel the heavy hand of the state department, or, rather, of the navy department Instead

of making the murder of Groce and Cannon the subject of long-drawn-out correspondence, couched in the usual flowery, courteous phrases, Secretary Knox has demanded apology and reparation. Zelaya has undoubtedly discovered before this the difference between Root and Knox. He is expect

ed to come to the scratch just as Chile did. But even at that he will doubtless be made to feel in substantial manner the displeasure of the United States at his conduct. "Which is the better policy in the long run the soft word of Root or the shotgun gunboat method of Knox?" This is a question which diplomats here are asking one another with interest. Methods Not High-Handed. It is of special concern to the cigarette-smoking diplomats of Central and South America. They have been sending some interesting dispatches to their home governments during the last three months. At . every capital in Central and South America It is fully realized that there is a man in the state department at Washington who is reasonably quick on the trigger, and that it will be dangerous to attempt the old time subterfuges, evasions and tricks in future dealings with the American government-It is pointed out on behalf of Secretary Knox that he has not adopted high-handed methods in dealing wh all our southern neighbors. He has brought up with a sharp turn only those countries that have committed gross wrongs against American citizens and showed no inclination to right the injuries done. He has. made them understand that the United States will tolerate no foolishness. On the other hand, nothing has occurred to disturb the friendly and cordial re

lations with the numerous republics down there which treat our citizens with fairness and consideration.

Mme. Ponisi in "Antony and Cleopatra " in 185!) and has views on the play as it has been revived. "I went up to this New Theater the opening night." he said yesterday, "and between the acts I wept a little. I had expected that at least the ideal theater was actually with us, but I can't see that their pretty New Theater fills the part. "It was just a piece of Broadwav moved a little ways up town. The audience was more clothes than appreciation. Enthusiasm was an absentee and the acting was tame. In addition, the piece wasn't put on as if there were tons of money behind it, like they say there is, and well. I couldn't get a thrill out of it. I went home feeling as though I'd seen a proper little performance given in a Harlem flat where the performers were afraid they'd wake the people's babies in the flat down stairs, and as I rode back to Brooklyn I couldn't help but think how Ed Eddy would have made the rafters hum and how Mme. Ponisi would have made those people stand on their chairs.

half way down, and then fall the rest of the way down, weak from loss of blood. And it had to be a natural fall too, or I'd have got mine from th'.' gallery and pit. In the last act of the same play my horse Black Bess, dies of a broken heart, and as she collapsed at the footlights she was a trained horse that did it as natural as life I had to fall off her and take my chanc

es on her rolling on me. I used to get a hundred a week for the part sixty , for the ability to act it and forty for j risking my neck. And as often as not ; we'd give "Rookwood" in the afternoon J and one of the Shakespearean pieces J the same night. j "Take it another way. I've done j character parts with George Fox's ! company in the Bowery one week, tak-: en off Irishmen and Dutchmen and plantation negroes and what not. and

the next week I'd be Iago or Othello or Julius Caesar or some other heavyweight, and have to be as good an Othello as I'd been a Dutchman or t'other way about. "And I'm putting my own case just because its more familiar to me than other men's cases, and not because I care a hang after thirty years whether people thank I ever could act or not.

The point I'm trying to make is that j

you could comb the American stage today from end to end and you couldn't find a man who could play half a dozen parts the same week."
