THE SAMOSET BY THE SEA
Ideal weather with temperatures ranging from
GO to 72 is the order since our last Hill-Top letter.
Always a cool breeze and always the necessity of
blankets at night. An ideal summer climate which
is now known and recognized as Samoset weather,
for nowhere else can it be found.
On Friday last, a very exciting putting contest
was given by Mr. and Mrs. McKinney of Phila-
delphia, and in the finals Dr. Byers won the gen-
tlemen's prize, a handsome silver match box, and
JMrs. Roberts won the ladies' prize in the form of
a beautiful silver Renaissance bonbon dish.
On Saturday morning at 10.00 a children's put-
ting contest was given by Mr. and Mrs. C. How-
ard Colket to their son for his little friends. It
was a most interesting match and to see the liitle
ones to the best advantage they should be seen in
a putting contest in their best bib and tucker, and
each one perfectly oblivious to any prize or game,
simplv playing tlieir best for the sport there seems
to be in it. Master John Heyburn won the boys'
prize and little Miss Hugo won the girls' prize.
At 2.30 Saturday was the children's bagatelle
contest, and like everything else that they attempt,
they seem to become proficient very soon, and the
scores made by the youngsters without knowledge
of pool or billiards seemed all the more remarka-
ble. Master Colket won the boy's prize and Miss
Swift won the girls' prize.
Saturday evening a bean bag party was given
by little Miss Hugo. This proved to be another
interesting contest and, being held in the ballroom,
was well attended by the older guests, who seem-
ingly enjoyed watching the little ones enjoy them-
selves.
Tuesday Mr. A. C. Sumner and Miss Pearsall
gave a fishing trip to about ten invited guests,
landing on an Ishmd and making a day of it.
They were rewarded with a large string of fish.
Wednesday, August 1st, a large approaching
and putting contest was given by Miss Pearsall,
the day being perfect for the sport, as the sun was
clouded, and the temperature just right to make
the sport agreeable. Mr. Henry Barrett won the
gentlemen's prize, a silver loving cup, and Miss
Loveman won the ladies' prize, a pair of silver
candlesticks.
Following is a list of a few of the entertaining

Minnie Maddcrn Fiske
AMERICAS GREATEST ACTRESS, MINNIE
MADDERN FISKE
Till'', sulijrc-l 111' this Mrli(.-le iuoiises a doptli »!'
interest not only in the writer, and in every
person who conies witliin tlie ranire of her
remarkable powers as an artiste ; but in all those
who arc far more forlnnate, to come within the
charmed circle of her personal acquaintanceship.
The superlative genius possessed by i\Iinnie Mad-
deru Fiske is at once apparent to the spectator of
culture, e(hu'ation and refinement, while to tlie
undiscerniiig and unaualytical her subtle powers
are not always at first appreciated at their full
value.
Scenes in her plays such as the murder scene in
Tess, and the last act of Becky Sharp, are always
understood, although diametrically opposite in tlieir
nature; but much of her other w-ork, notably in
A Doll's House, Hedda Gabler, Leah Kleschna,
and Divorfons is so keen, so subtle and so profound,
THE HILL-TOP
21
and yet so realistically simple, tliat the unskilled
observer is apt to lose what his keener conipanion
gains.
In real life people do not stand twenty feet apart
for the purpose of shoutinj;
each other lliat a
person in the tenth
story of the building
on tiie opposite side
I if the street may
liear ; people do not
sy s lematically ad-
dress their remarks
to one side of the
apartment only;
people do not wildly
gesticulate or
scream uidess they
dii so with the
deliberate intention
and expeclation of
raising an alarm ;
(hen wh)' shoidd it
be d o !i e on the
stage?
Theatres are, or
A Doll's House should be, built to
convey t h e least
sound the farthest distance clearly, not with a view
to destroying or absorbing that sound. That this
can be done is proved in many instances, but if the
commercial manager uses his money to command
the erection of the most beautiful interior, filled
with nooks and angles, draperies and plushes,
instead of gratifying his
patrons with what they
come to hear, then true
dramatic art is not to
blame, but the architect
and his employer.
An artist once told
me of a circumstance in
which two old men were
examining the almanac
for the weather predic-
tions and of his strong
impression of the value
of the situation for a
picture; whereupon ,
procuring h i s utensils
for the work, lie endeav-
ored to pose the two old
men as they had previ-
ously been employed,
when utter failure
resulted ; for self-con-
sciousness immediately
Tess of the D'Urberviiies pervaded the situation
cky Sharp
and a stilted, awkward
sketch was the result.
The remarkable in-
tuition and power of
putting herself in
another's place ; think-
i n g as t h e y would
think ; moving, speak-
ing, emphasizing as
thev would have done,
is possessed by few of
t li e world's great
actresses, and Mrs.
Kiske is supreme in
this respect.
The common under-
standing of the word
acting is, unfortune-
alely, associated with
doing exactly what
real people do 710/ do,
and when the patron
of melodrama, or comic
opeia, or farce comedy
visits a production of
Mrs. Fiske's, he is
sometimes at a loss to associate true realism in
acting with superlative merit.
It is so easy, it is not acting, to him. She is
merely sitting still, or thinking, or watching
others, or in a quiet tone uttering some tre-
mendously vital
words.
Mrs. Fiske's per-
formance of Becky
Sharp is one of those
perfectly conceived,
thoroughly wrought-
out presentations of a
great writer's charac-
ters that should and
will live with the
greatest, and be classed
with such remarkable
characterizations as
have been given to the
world by Rachel. Sal-
vini, Duse, Fechler,
Hernhardi, â– Jctfcrson
and Booth.
The umisual range
possessed by Mrs.
Fiske is instanced very
vividly in such per-
formances as her
Hedda G a b 1 e r, and
C'yprienne in Uivor-
fons. The studied

One won Id not
expect to fully jiriis])
the deep but ilelicate
meaning of Hamlet
at one presentation,
or one reading. No
actor or scholar that ever lived presumed to make
such a claim even after years of study, and so one
must not expect to grasp all the value of Mrs.
Fiske's performance at one sitting.
Becky Sharp fairly bristles with minute points,
like the cactus of the desert; too numerous and
too line for one period of observation, and only
repeated visits will develop them, although they
are all there, all the time, like — to use another
simile, a huge cluster of small but perfect diamonds,
that at a glance, flash
one brilliant light, but
upon inspection are
made up of many flaw-
less gems.
In her private life,
i\I r s . F i s k e is as
remarkable a person-
ality as in her public
career. Her greatness
is not ciuilined to the
stage, for, like the
truly greal, she is as
simple in her manner
and her m e t h o d of
living as an unspoiled
child.
A young w(Mnan, in
spile of the impression
of some to the con-
trary, for it must be
r e m e m here d that
Minnie Maddern was
a star of brilliancy at
the age of sixteen, and
well known in support-
ing characters even
before that.
It was my privi-
lege to stand near,
in herdressiugroom
in the theatre in
Cincinnati the past
season, and listen to
her simple, modest
relation of an inci-
dent of her child
life, when she was
brought into that
same r o o m as a
timid child to see
M a ry Anderson,
and to be engaged
for the ch i 1 d in
Iiigomar.
Then her career
was all before her,
and she stood in the
]iresence of the then
prominent and suc-
cessful star; but
now her o^vn success
and her oivn attain-
in e n t s have fa r
exceeded those of the artiste in waose presence she
then nervously appeared, while in the relation of
the circumstance no note of triumph, afi'ectatiou or
self-consciousness appeared, but with a mimicry
and an infectious humor her intimate friends know
so well, she told the story.
An earnest stu-
dent in a school of
dramatic art once
received this as-
liiiiuding reply from

Mrs. Fiske prob-

yet every movement
of her hands is elo-

will note that the use of her eyes, the poise of her
head, her walk, her every inovenieiit, has distinct
characteristics that belong to that particular indi-
vidual, and while the actress is denied by nature
tlie advantage of
the actor, in facial
disguise with
wigs, beards,
mustaches, and
heavily app] ied
pigments, yet the
features, lit by the
fires of gen i u s,
take on as distinct
an i n d ividuality
as do those of her
brothers of the
]ir(ifcsj^ion.

are the possibili-

The one great
want, is dramatic writers; writers equal to the
creation of characters of equal rank with her
powers to portray them. Many good plays are
written, but of the stage, stagey; characters that
may have dramatic strength, and "situations," but
surfacey, lacking in that subtlety and finesse that
can only be developed by the peerless genius of an
artiste like Minnie Maddern Fiske.
