one-part actor,--though for every part he has played in the regular Theatre, aside from that one (exactly four, that is), Jefferson and Sothern each played anywhere from fifteen to twenty-five parts. Warfield, since his initial triumph as _von Barwig_, thirteen years ago [1917], has acted in a revival of “The Auctioneer,” and in “A Grand Army Man,” “The Return of Peter Grimm,” and “Van Der Decken.” Yet, time and again, wisely and rightly, Belasco has revived for him “The Music Master,” and always the public,--whether in the greatest cities of the country or the smallest “one-night stand” which he has visited,--has hailed him in that piece with joy and flocked in crowds to witness his touching and lovely performance. During the season of 1906-’07, when he fulfilled engagements in that play, of four weeks each, at the Majestic Theatre, Boston, and the Academy of Music, New York, the respective managers of those houses caused to be prepared, attested under oath, and delivered as souvenirs to Belasco statements which show that in eight weeks $171,179.25 was paid for the privilege of seeing Warfield’s impersonation of _von Barwig_. That is an amazing record, surpassing any similar and fairly comparable one known to me, and, therefore, I here transcribe the items of receipt: _MAJESTIC THEATRE, BOSTON._ Week ending October 6, 1906 (seven performances), $16,443.50. Week ending October 13, 1906 (seven performances), 16,227.75. Week ending October 20, 1906 (eight performances), 18,676.50. Week ending October 27, 1906 (eight performances), 20,864.00. ------------ $72,211.75. _ACADEMY OF MUSIC, NEW YORK._ Week ending February 2, 1907, $21,857.25. “ “ “ 9, “ 22,249.75. “ “ “ 16, “ 25,149.25. “ “ “ 23, “ 29,711.25. ------------ $98,967.50. During the engagement at the Academy of Music, in 1907, the highest price charged for a seat was $1.50. [Perhaps nothing more conclusively manifests the unbreakable hold of Warfield on the affections of the American public, in this play, than the facts that in the present season (1917-’18), notwithstanding the stress of war and that the character he portrays is a German, his audiences everywhere have, seemingly, been limited only by the capacity of the theatres in which he has appeared and that, as Mr. Belasco kindly informs me, his average gross receipts have been well over $14,000 a week.--J.W.] The first engagement of “The Music Master” at the Belasco Theatre lasted until January 7, 1905, when it was withdrawn to make way for Mrs. Carter in “Adrea.” On January 9 it was acted at the old Bijou Theatre, and remained there until June 3.
