This season's greatest .success In fejr York, 'The Blue Mouse." which be the attraction at the Academy f TusJc very shortly, will be present ed f a company of twenty-fle pen jile, a duplicate of the organization now appearing In the farce at the Lyric Theatre in New York. A TALK OX BLACK CORK. 'dee in "Tlie Clansman" Tells the Secrets of Darky Impersonation. Albert Hanna. who brings down the house by his comical Uncle Nelse in "The Clansman." said the other day: "Darky impersonation Is a special ty and few of those who essay It achieve complete success. It is easy enough to put on the makeup and imitate In a general way the darky talk and shambling salt. It is in the peculiar Intonations of the voice that commented on the question, "What will be a feature of the Dandy Dixie are the greatest songs" songs-that have stirred the human heart, songs whose rtiythm and melody are for all time? Many views were advanced by the various readers, but by almost unanimous consent the following were the songs that were entitled to that distinction and voted to an exalted position in the "Hall of ffame:" "The Star Spangled Bannex." "The Marseil laise." "Die Wacht Am Rhin." "Song of the Eveninar Star." from "Tanna- hauser;" "The Lost Chord." from "II Trovatore.;" "God Save the Queen" and "Dixie."

The distinction between the old house servants and the plantation or cotton field negroes is most impor tant. In "The Clansman" Nelse is supposed to have lived with whites all his life and to have absorbed their ideas to a large extent. Aleck, on the other hand, is a cotton field negro suddenly raised to the dizzy height of High Sheriff by the changes of Recon struction politics. - I used to double as Nelse and Dick. the scared negro corporal in the last act. It was an awful job. Nelse alone Is sufficient to keep any actor busy. To my mind the best perform er is the one who gets the most laughs without indulging in physical violence rhorse-play. Nelse strikes but one blow when he knocks down the scal awag white Governor of South Caro lina. Otherfise he does everything by voice, facial expression, movement and gesture. I enjoy playing the part because the audience is always thor oughly In sympathy with the old fel low who lubs his or massa, fit all thru the war with him, and who has no use whatever for the Freedman's Bu reau type of negro." What Are the Greatest Songs? The New York Herald recently night. The Vernon Stock Company will be seen at the Academy of Musi-c. for one week beginning Monday night. The Danville. Va., Bee. of February 2d, gives the following account of the performance of this company: "The Vernon Stock Company, a most excellent dramatic organization, made, its initial bow to Danville at the 9cademy last night, and it must be acknowledged the company more than fulfilled all the promises made by its advance notices, and deserves all the praise that has been extended to the praise that has been extended to the company by press and public in the past. " 'The Unwritten Law. is new, a good play and gave the greatest sat isfaction, but it is a play that needs actors and they were not found want ing in the Vernon Company. "A criticism of the personnel of the company will be made later on better acquaintance, and if all the companion plays are as good as the opening Dan ville will agree with the other cities that 'The Vernon Stock Company is the best yet.' "To-night the company presents a play of the plains. 'A Cowboy's Ro mance,' and is very well spoken of as a companion play to 'The Squaw Man.'

Jacques Lebaudy, heir to the accu mulated fortune of the Wgar refiner who was the richest man in France, Parisian dandy, soldier 'of fortune and last, but not least, the "Emperor of Sahara," was born 33 years ago to day. His present whereabouts are un known, but he is supposed to be on his palatial yacht somewhere in the friitprra.ra.n- seekins: to forget in a mad pursuit of pleasure the ill for tune that has followed his attempts to plae himself on a throne. In his early life Lebaudy was ec centric, and there were some who called him mad. Relieved from the necessity of work by the immense for tune he had inherited from his fath er and his brother. Max. he spent his youth in traveling and drinking to the dregs such pleasures as Paris and other European capitals can offer to the idle rich. He was still a young ster when Paris palled upon him and. sore 8mitten-of enui. he originated the crack-brained idea of establish ing an empire and making himself an emperor. For the scene of his tri umph he selected the desert of Sa hara. S Getting together an "army." which is sajd to have numbered 400, in three ships, including his yacht, he made a descent upon the unfrequent ed part of Africa, as to the nationality of which there is some doubt, and Droclaimed himself "Emperor," under the style of Jacques I. Once he went to London In a visit that was in 1904 and established himself with the court in a hotel. Early in 191)5 he was sued in the English courts by his "commander-in-chief" for salary and claimed that as an "Emperor" he was beyond the jurisdiction of the court. As, however, it was found that there was no contract, .the question of his status was left unsettled, as he won without it. In 1905 he was in Trieste, where his eccentric behavior caused him to be placed under police supervision. He went away hurriedly and left be hind him a lady styled the "Empress." For a time after his solemn proc lamation of himself as an "emperor," Lebaudy was surrounded by hordes of flatterers, some attracted by his money and others by his supreme au dacity. To these he apportioned out titles and honors with profuse lib erality, and to-day there are many bogus noblemen who received their titles from Lebaudy. He appointed ambassadors and ministers and es tablished consuls in many European and American cities, and . although these were not recognized by any na tlon. they served to exalt the majes ty and vanity of their imperial master. From last reports, the "empire la now in the last stages of dissolution. and the "emperor" has succeeded in almost entirely dissipating . his vast fortune in attempting to foster his rattle-brained project. pffipare Work ; ' Compare" our Laun dering with any . other it will show that our claim for superior work is based on facts.
