Story of Last Rehearsal

Of Mad There are many men and women of mature years in South Bend who have at some time heard tho illfated John McCullough in "The Badiator,' "Richelieu." "Bichard the Third," "Ingomar." or ore of the other roles which made him well known. Most men and women have read some account of the sad termination of his splendid career as an actor, but few have ever heard, first hand, of tho last rehearsal of McCullough's company after the curtain had been rung down on his half-mad performance at McVicker's theater in Chicago. Porter J. White, now playing at tho rpheum, was one of MeCullotigh s last company. He told the story to a party of friends in his dressing room last night. White Mas 20 years old in lSStf, when McCullough returned !t"ni Carsbad. Germany, and opened with his company in Milwaukee early in October. The next week's engagement was at McVicker's theater in Chicago. Sight to Ik KoiiH'inlKMKl. "The year before, the actor had had trouble to remember his lines,' said White. "But his slips were slight and were prompted over with slight interruption. When he opened in Milwaukee, his mind seemed to have regained its old perfect poise. Then came, tho opening in Chicago yvith "The Gladiator." I shall never forget the sight of the great Shakespearean scholar, the grand old Irish actor, stanch in body and generous in heart, standing" there before the crowd when his senses had left him momentarily and he could not recall his lines. "We stood watching him from tho wings. There came a break in tho words of the Roman, gladiator a pause. Then the rugged Voice broke out anew. But tlie words! They were the words of Othello, of Richelieu, of Richard tho Third not tho gladiator. Mixed, jumbled words of these characters came confusedly from tho quivering crying lips of the poor McCullough. It wa.s pitiable. The prompters whispered, 'get off the stage', but lie was making a desperat; effort to regain his control, for ho knew he had been lost. Tie realized that hja mind had failed him when he needed it most. Then tho curtain fek Hisses were heard in front. With tears falling from his bewildered eyes he made his' way to the footlights and tried to explain, but

the audience didn't understand. The engagement wa.s suspended." Iiast lUliearaI Held. " 'Call a rehearsal for 10 o'clock in the morning for "Richelieu, he called to Harry Vance, the stage manager. His wish was granted and at 10 o'clock everyone was on hand for the last rehearsal that John McCullough ever held. Th play was 'Richelieu, and I'll warrant that no rehearsal ever went off with such exactness or lor to the actors: such a mixture of emotions. Fity. sorrow, admiration and love for the unfortunate McCullough were, manifested by the members of his company. McCullough was a splendid Richelieu. Barradas. the treacherous character, was played then by John A. lane. Mr; Bane, by the way, is now past SO years old, and holds a government position in tho postoffice at Philadelphia. Do you remember the lines of the play? " 'See! His mind is changing. He's wavering fast'! the villainous Barradas whispers aside to the courtiers as he watches Richelieu. Could anything be more applicable to the condition of the actor than this lino? It was a repetition of the actor's life. It might as well have been his death sentence for all the solemnity there -A-as in the scene. But the brave cCullough bridged over the flood of sentimentality and apparently unmoved, came back with the famous answer; 'If o, irreverant ribald, beware the falling ruins! I tell thee, scorner of these whitening hairs, when the snow melteth there shall emte a Hood. Await! My name is Richelieu'." When Porter J. White 1 egan the story ho was sitting on a trunk in one corner of the eight-foot square dressing room. When he had finished with tho words of Richelieu he was standing in a tremor, with a clenched fkst shaking defiance in the face of a visitor. But he didn't notice tho attitude so much for a vivid recollection of a famous scene in stage history, where he had been one of tho plajers, "No. he never played again," said Mr. White In answering a question. "He roamed about for a time and was then placed in an asylum in New York, poor fellow. But the socalled 'ravings' of McCullough that you have heard rasped out on a grapha phone had no connection with reality . They were merely the creation of some ranting actor. McCullough didn't rave.
