TRADE “ The Most Attractive of Nature’s Chans.”

In every grade of life, certain disturbing agencies are constantly

at work, counteracting the functions of the body, such as debility,

strong mental emotion, over study, responsibility, &c. The glands

of the hair then become enervated and the cells depleted of their

sap. The hair thus loses its vitality and falls out, or becomes

prematurely grey.

This is notably the case with Members of the Dramatic,
Operatic, and other Professions, whose daily calling im-

MAriK. poses upon the nervous system an abnormal strain.

The irregularity may however be arrested and remedied by local applications of a

proper combination of well selected ingredients.

IS31 SPECIAL ATTENTION IS THEREFORE CALLED TO

EUGENE MORPHY’S

CELEBRATED

SPECIALITIES FOR THE HAIR.

In them are to be found all the necessary stimulating tonic and nourishing proper¬
ties, which nature, under the circumstances explained above, has failed to provide.

These Specialities for the Hair are the result of many years medieal

research ; are most simple of application, and are guaranteed to contain nothing of

an injurious nature.

The issue of my New Catalogue affords me again the pleasure of conveying
my sincere thanks to my numerous customers for the hearty support that has hitherto
been extended to me, especially by the following managers and manageresses : —

Henry Irving, Esq. Kyrle Bellew, Esq.

J. L. Toole, Esq. Geo. Lovkday, Esq.

John Hollingshead, Esq. H. J. Loveday, Esq.
John Clayton, Esq. H. E. Abbey, Esq.
Arthur Cecil, Esq. John Billington, Esq.
Edgar Bruce, Esq. J. L. Shine, Esq.
Alfred Reid, Esq. Miss G. Ward.
Corny Grain, Esq. Miss Litton.
C. Wyndham, Esq.
Augustus Harris, Esq. Mrs. Bancroft.
Michael Gunn, Esq.
C. D. Marius, Esq. Miss Wallis.

Miss St. John.

Miss Mary Anderson.

I have printed the names of London managers and manageresses only, as a list ol
the actors and actresses and provincial managers who honour me with their custom
would more than fill the pages of this Catalogue.

I have now completed arrangements by which I can meet the great increase I have
experienced in my business during the last year, and in order to give an idea of the
extension of my business, I may mention that the following companies were supplied
with new wigs, and that all the orders were received and executed by me within
eight weeks :—

Henry Irving, Esq. and Company (for the American tour).
Barry Sullivan, Esq. and Company.
Kyrle Bellew, Esq. and Company.
Miss Florence St. John and Company.
Miss Wallis and Company.
Miss Kate Vaughan and Company.

Miss Genevieve Ward and Company.
Mrs. Langtry.
“ Ariel."—New Burlesque at the “ Gaiety.”

‘‘ Ingomar.”—Miss Mary Anderson’s Grand Production at the
“ Lyceum.”

“ Ihe Glass of Fashion."—New Comedy at the “ Globe.”
“ Bunch of Keys ” and “ Sparks,” at the “ Avenue.”
‘■ M.P.f at “ Toole’s.”

The above companies took in all, an aggregate of 4.038 Wigs ! ! ! The

names of the companies and the productions at the London theatres, are sufficient
guarantee that the goods supplied were of the very best quality that money could
procure.

Although the above orders came closely upon each other, they did not interfere
with the usual routine of my business, and it is with pardonable pride that I can call
attention to a few extracts from the London, Provincial and American press, and
the elite of the dramatic profession, which will be found at end of these pages.

In conclusion, I beg to say that while thanking my numerous customers for their
past favours, I will use my best endeavours to give every satisfaction to those who
may favour me with their patronage in the future.

A FEW WORDS UPON THE ART OF

I “ MAKING-TIP.”N acting, the art of making-up the face is one requiring the most scrupulous
care and attention, and no stage embodiment is perfect without it, however
small or insignificant the part may be. A good and characteristic “ make-up ”
not only gratifies the people in front, but gives confidence to the actor. The
moment an actor steps upon the stage he challenges the sciutiny of his audience, and
their eyes instinctively wander over him in the most inquisitive way, searching through
his make-up and manner for the key-note to the character he is about to impersonate.
Hence it behoves any one that wishes to succeed in his profession, to pay the most
marked attention to his appearance ; for, whatever the character may be, old or young,
handsome or ugly, it is a duty he owes to the public to make that character as realistic
as possible. Any neglect of this important duty not only raises a prejudice against
the offender, but it mars the harmony of the picture and consequently destroys the
illusion of the spectator. No conscientious artist can so thoroughly embody a part as
when he feels that he looks it, therefore the study of the make-up is a necessary
and important branch of the actor’s art, and every youthful student should bear this
fact in mind.

The face is naturally the mirror, so to speak, through which the passions of the
soul are seen—rage, terror, love, despair, and every other emotion incidental to
humanity, are at various times depicted there—consequently it is imperative that the
face should receive all the assistance that art can bestow. The use of pencils and
pigments must therefore be brought into play, for the countenance is the actor’s
canvas, as it were, on which, with the aid of false hair, he paints his characters, and
according to the skill displayed therein, sinks his personal identity. The colour of
the complexion can, at his will, be heightened or deadened, as circumstances require ;
by deepening of the lashes he developes the power of the eye ; a few artistic touches
will throw up the veins of the throat and forehead, so that, in assumed anger, they
will stand out like strained cordage; an adroit line or two will intensify the muscles
of the face, while the eyebrows are in themselves a study, and well managed will
give any tone of character to the features which the owner may fancy and the part
demand.

19, RUSSELL STREET, COVENT GARDEN, W.C. 5

In the olden time actors had not the assistance in the art of making-up which
they have now, consequently the imagination of the audience was compelled to be of
a very elastic nature. Densely black streaks were supposed to represent wrinkles,
clumps of crape hair were supposed to be mistaken for beards and moustaches of
natural growth ; the whitest of white features and the pinkest of pink cheeks was the
unvarying complexion of stage youth, while bald scalps of the most palpable and
wiggy order represented old age ! And what greater monstrosity of unnaturalness
ever existed than the old-fashioned wire beards? But art, which is the hand-maiden
to nature—on the stage at least—has reformed all that with us. We have wigs that
defy detection ; we have grease paints and cosmetique pencils capable of giving, in
artistic hands, any tone to the face, from the mellowness of a ripe manly bloom to the
withered haggardness of a starved apothecary. Then with such adjuncts all ready to
his hand, no actor can shelter himself behind an excuse for a bad make-up, therefore
let every ambitious young histrion remember, that however good his impersonation
may be, it cannot possibly be perfect without due attention to the necessary detail of
make-up. The old notion that a large moustache, soaped down and powdered over
cannot be seen by the people in front, is an exploded one, and will not do in these
times of glaring gas and tell-tale lime light; in fact, any actor who neglects his
appearance, not only slights his profession, but insults his audience and wrongs
his manager !

I ADVICE TO AMATEURS.
N consequence of the great number of letters requesting information regarding
amateur theatricals, a few words addressed to those who are not initiated in these
matters will not be out of place. In the first instance, the choice of a play
has to be considered, and for this purpose a most useful work, entitled “ The
•Guide to Selecting Plays ” (one shilling) has recently been published, showing the most
suitable plays, and describing them in a very minute manner, giving the plot or advice
about each, and thus facilitating what was formerly a very arduous' task ; “ The
Amateur Guide” (one shilling) might then be consulted as to the next mode of
proceeding ; therein will be found instruction for the formation of the company,
arrangement of rehearsals, and a host of invaluable information, too extended to
mention, and to those who are taking part in the performance, a perusal of the pages
of “ The Actor's Art ” (sixpence) and the “ Art of Acting'1'1 (sixpence) would be the
means of supplying many useful hints which are beneficial to the amateur actor.
With reference to scenery, great success has recently been made with the mounted
paper scenes, and for description of these, please refer to page 34 of this Catalogue.
'‘'‘Howto Make-up ” (two shillings) is also an invaluable book, being the first work
ever published, giving a really practical method of acquiring this important art.
Coloured illustrations are therein given, showing how the face can be made to
represent the various stages and characters of life, and the proper materials to produce
the effect are described.

The great stride made of late years in the art of wig making has been universally
acknowledged. The criticisms and testimonials which I have printed on the last few
pages of this Catalogue, in conjunction with the fact that I am at present employed
by the leading artistes, both London and provincial, and receives daily an increase of
business from all parts of the globe, will suffice to show how successful my method
of business has been.

The play having been selected, the company formed, the scenery ready, it is in
most cases desirable to have a perruquier to properly make-up the various characters.
By having an efficient artiste for the purpose, and suitable wigs, greater success will
be assured than if done by an inexperienct d person.

Performances are attended in town or country with every requisite appertaining to
the make-up (including wigs) from 10/6 to 30/-. Railway fares alone are charged
extra.

largest Manufacturer in Germany.

Managers of Theatres, cvc., will find that by paying 7/s a visit and buying
their goods ready made, they will save about 90 per cent., and can have
their goods sent home when they wish, instead of having to depend very

them in this Catalogue, but the following is a selection. We shall always be

SCENTED TABLEAUX LIGHTS.

These are always used to heighten the effect of a scene, and anyone who has
witnessed any spectacular play knows that they are indispensable. Our Tableaux
Lights are very easily used and aie of the best manufacture. They are not liable to
spontaneous combustion, and are expressly made for amateurs. They only require to
be ignited in an ordinary flower pot saucer. Plainest directions accompany each. We
have the following colours, Red, Green, Blue, Violet, White, Pink, Yellow, and
Orange. All Colours, price each 1/-. Post free id. extra.

We particularly recommend the Red and Green, as they burn with very little
smoke or fumes. Blue and Violet cannot be made, without a little sulphur. Our
lights are dazzling in their brilliancy, requiring no reflectors.

SCENTED COLOURED FIRE IN BULK.

Put up in one-half pound packages. Not less than half-a-pound of each colour is
sold in Bulk. Price per pound (Post free 3d. per half-pound extra), 5/-.

MAGNESIUM TABLEAUX LIGHTS.

A metal capable of being ignited by a common match, and burning with great
brilliancy, producing a light that can be seen thirty miles. Unequalled in beauty and
brilliancy. This is the best light for moonlight and statuary, it is so intense that it
causes gas-light to cast a shadow. To light it, untwist half an inch of the metal and
hold it well in the flame. Price each package (Post free id. extra), 1/-.

FOR PRIVATE WEAR.

I beg to direct attention to our system of measuring the head for wigs, and to
ensure a perfect fit, I beg to impress upon my customers the necessity of sending the
exact sizes, according to the following instructions :—

RULES FOR MEASUREMENT.

1. —The Circumference of Head.
2. —Forehead to Poll.
3. —Ear to Ear across Forehead.
4. —Ear to Ear over top.
5. —Temple to Temple, round the back.

To put a wig on properly, it should be held by the back pieces on each side of the
elastics, properly adjusted in position on the forehead, and drawn over the head with
both hands.

As I am most anxious to avoid loss of time and disappointment, I beg of my
customers to forward patterns of hair, and full instructions for articles required. We
frepuently receive orders for goods without mention of the colour or length of hair
required, by which delay is often experienced.

COVERINGS FOR BALD HEADS.

We have acquired a great reputation for the above, which me make of the very

best curled hair, worked upon an invisible foundation, in fact a net, made with the

finest human hair, and is so natural that it defies the closest inspection, and the whole

though very durable, is exceedingly light and natural. The best preventative of

premature baldness is to shave that portion of the scalp which shows signs of decay;

a paper pattern may then be cut to the size of the scalp required, the charges are :—

Any shade of Hair, hair net foundation . 2/6 per inch.

,, ,, imitation hair net ... ... 2/- ,,

,, ,, gauze „ . 1/6 ,,

In all cases the hair will be of the very best quality.

With a view to obviate the great difficulty experienced by Amateurs (particularly
in country houses) in obtaining Scenery, &c., to fix in a Drawing Room, and then
only by considerable outlay for hire and great damage caused to walls, we have
decided to keep a series of mounted Coloured Scenes which are ready for immediate
use or they can be had unmounted on thirty sheets of strong paper and can be joined
together or pasted on canvas or wood, according to requirement. Full directions,
with diagrams showing exact size of Back Scenes, Borders, and Wings, can be had
free on application. The following four scenes are kept in stock.

—The above is an illustration of this scene. It is kept in two
sizes. The size of the back scene of the smaller one is io feet long and 63 feet
high and extends with the Wings and Border to 15 feet long and 8 feet high. The
back scene of the large one is 13 feet long and 9 feet high and extends with the
Wings and Border to 20 feet long and 11A feet high. It is not necessary to have
the scene the height of the room, as blue paper to represent sky is usually hung

at the top. Small size, with Wings and Border complete, 63/-; unmounted on
paper sheets, 30/-; large size, mounted, 84/-; unmounted, 40/-. Blue
paper 2d. per sheet small size. A double quantity would be required if used

for the large scene.

WOOD. a—This is similar in style to the above, only wood scene is introduced

in the centre. It is kept in two sizes, as the previous scene, and blue paper can
be introduced as before indicated. Small size, with Wings and Borders complete,

mounted, 63/-; unmounted, 30/-. Large size, mounted, 84/-; unmounted 40/-.

iobr^wi^g- broom; .—This scene is only kept in the large size,

the back scene is 13 feet long and 9 feet high and extends with the Wings and
Borders to 20 feet long and 11^ feet high. In the centre is a French window,
leading down to the ground, which could be made practicable if required. On
the left Wing is a fire-place with mirror above, and on the right Wing is an oil
painting. The whole scene is tastefully ornamented and beautifully coloured,
forming a most elegant picture. Should a box scene be required, extra Wings
can be had, consisting of doors each side, which could be made practicable.

Price, with Border and one set of Wings, mounted, 84/- ; unmounted, 40/- ;
wfith Border and one set of Wings to form box scene, mounted 105/- ; un-.
mounted 50/-.

COTToScCBR IBSTX3K3RI03R.-This is also kept in the large size

only. In the centre is a door leading outside. On the left centre is a rustic fire¬
place, and the right centre is a window. On the Wings are painted shelves, &c.,
to complete the scene. A box scene can be made by purchasing extra Wings, as
before described, and forming doors on each side. Price, with Border and one

set of Wrings, mounted, 84/-; unmounted, 40/- ; with Border and two sets of
Wings, to form box scene, mounted, 105/- ; unmounted, 50/-.

The Drawing Room mounted can be seen at 19, Russell Street,

A most effective Proscenium can be
formed by utilising the paper made for this
purpose. Three pieces of wood are merely
required, shaped according to this design,
and covered with the paper ; the Proscenium

and could be made practicable to slide up and down. The introduction of
curtains each side would make it very effective. Size, 3 feet by 4^ feet. Price

3FrI3R.3K3PXj.jSc03£I.—This is also made with two sheets of paper. The fire

is lighted, but should this not be required, a fire paper can be hung over it. It
will be found most useful in many farces wherein a character has to climb up a
chimney, and many plays where a fireplace is indispensable. By purchasing a
door, window, and fireplace, an ordinary room scene could easily be constructed

with the addition of some wall paper. Size 3 feet by 4^ feet. Price complete, 5/-.

General Copeland Crawford has, on two different occasions in the past month,
witnessed Entertainments by Lieut. Albini. They were as completely successful as
.they were wonderful. General C. C. was also greatly pleased by the absence of all
vulgarity. There was nothing the most susceptible might shrink from. When the
baneful wide-spread belief in Spiritualism is considered with all the sad insanity that
too often follows in its train, there does not appear to general C. C. any more efficient
means of exposure than those afforded by the co-equal illusions and deceptions as
■exhibited with astounding skill by such men as Lieut. Albini and Maskelyne & Cooke
.the above gentlemen claiming a supernatural power, and through whom we may hope
.to realize the overthrow of Spiritualism.

“ STAGE DORA,” TOOLE’S THEATRE.

It has been said that Mr. Toole could never be like any one but himself,

and that he alone can parody his own style. He has never been so unlike Mr.

Toole, except in the matter of drollery, as when “made up” to suggest Mr.

Coghlan as Loris Ipanoff. When he turned round and discovered his face, the

whole house broke into a roar of laughter ; the features were altered, and few

could believe that this was the actor who had been his veritable himself as

Robert Spicer Romford in that droll piece of “Artful Cards.”—Daily Telegraph,

May *28th, ] 88k.

■vf -/f

Some of the characters are marvellously made up. Where, for instance,
are there to lie found two men more totally dissimilar in appearance and voice
than Mr. Coghlan and Mr. Toole? Yet the make-up of the latter gentleman
in imitation of the former is wonderfully clever. A black wig, eyebrows and
moustache to match, and a pair of abnormally square shoulders did wonders,
and Loris Ipanoff Atiloff, the commander of the “Reserved Forces,” was a

capital copy of the real character.—Society, June 2nd, 1883.

■Sf *

*

Mr. Toole’s get-up as Loris Ipanoff was comically grotesque, and his whole
performance was mirthful. His resemblance to Mr. Coghlan did not extend
beyond the get-up, which was copied closely from that of his original, and
Mr. Ward’s representation of Mr. Bancroft as Jean de Siriex was so truthful

that it elicted shouts of applause. — The Pall Mall Gazette, May 28th, 1883.

**

Mr. Toole, wonderfully made-up, caused much amusement by his imitation

of Mr. Coghlan.—The Globe, May 28th, 1883.

-Jr ~/c

As to the makes-up, they were simply “quiet too all but.” De Siriex
was Mr. Bancroft to the life, and his allusion to the number of “sticks” on
the stage was most apropos ; indeed, Mr. Ward’s was a finished study, at
which even the great original might condescend to smile. Mr. G. Shelton
spoke his few lines and looked Gretcli to the last lock of hair ; while Mr.
Cheeseman, as Boroff, was equally simple and unobtrusive. Mr. Toole, as
Loris, simply surprised us by his admirable take-off of Mr. Coghlan.—The

Sunday Times, May 27th, 1883.

The best part of Mr. Toole’s representation was his make-up in imitation

of Mr. Coghlan.—The Echo, May 28th, 1883.

40 C. H. fox’s illustrated catalogue.

How Mr. Toole contrives to counterfeit the presentment of Mr. Charles
Coghlan only with the aid of a wig and a black moustache is one of the
mysteries of the costumier. Before concluding, it is a matter of duty to
mention that Mr. G. Shelton makes up extraordinarly as the police agent

Gretch.—Referee, May 27th, 1883.

Mr. Toole makes-up with surprising skill to imitate Mr, Coghlan.—Times

Mr. E. D. Ward reproduces Mr. Bancroft, manner and person with the
closest fidelity and laughter provoking attention to detail ; and the figure of
Mr. Toole, pale-faced, sleek-haired, stern and stiff, as Mr. Coghlan, the
supposed apostle of “reserved force,” cannot be recalled with the most distant
approach to gravity. Miss Marie Linden, who lets no single point of the
original performer escape her caught Mrs. Beere’s manner and tone of voice
very happily. Mr. Augustus Stanley is so cleverly made up as the musician
that he might be the original gentleman just stepped over from the Hay-
market after “doing his piece” there, and the remaining “makes-up,” (or
“make-ups,” if you like) are carefully reproduced.—Fun, June 6th.

Mr. J. L. Toole’s “ get up ” for the character represented an sG’ieux by

Mr. Coghlan is laughable in the extreme.—Morning Post, May 28th.

**

Mr. Toole’s embodiment of Ipanoff is exceedingly grotesque, though chiefly
in a facial appearance, which simulates Mr. Coghlan’s in the oddest possible

manner.—Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, June 2nd, 1883.

To Mr. E. D. Ward we must give great praise for his remarkable imper¬
sonation of Mr. Bancroft, whom he hit off to the life.—The Weekly Times, May

27th, 1883. ■¥r -iS-

With these and a clever caricature of the Detective Police Officer by

Mr. Shelton, and an almost faithfull reproduction of the queer figure of the

Bussian Composer, now known as the “ Blessusitz Fiddleinski, ” in the peison

of Mr. Stanley, the element of mimicry is almost exhausted.— The Daily Neves,

May 28th, 1883. Jr ■*

■3c

Mr. Toole cannot, of course, sink his strong individuality into so close

an imitation of Mr. Coghlan, but he is intensely funny as Loris Ipanoff

Atiloff. His facial make-up is wonderful. Mr. Shelton as Gretch, the police
agent, is grotesquely made up about the head. — The Morning Advertiser, May

28th, 1883.

* -X-

Mr. E. D. Ward, as Jean de Siriex, carried the palm over all. When
the curtain ascended he stood with his back to the audience, and spoke his
first few words in that position. Wonderfully like Mr. Bancroft’s sounded
voice, and really throughout the trifle he sustained that effect. A copy in
get-up, style, and speaking (especially when he makes Mr. Bancroft sing),
his was certainly one of the happiest hits. Of Mr. J. L. Toole it has been
remarked he cannot disguise himself, but whoever said that never saw him
make up d la Mr. Coghlan for Loris Ipanoff Atiloff. It was all the more
remarkable that the resemblance was in the face, though seen a few fe6t
only from the footlights. Mr. (Shelton was a living copy of Mr. Brookfield
as Gretch, and even the minor characters were minute copies of the originals.

Imitation Diamond Jewellery.

“THE ERA.”

Imitation Jewellery.—Members of the theatrical profession should be pleased
to hear of any means by which, when called upon to put off their own personalities,
and to become for a few hours kings, queens, earls, countesses, lords and ladies of
high degree, boasting the possession of great wealth and of all that wealth will bring,
they can the better realise their altered circumstances and seem to be what the

dramatist has created. Thus they should welcome The Imitation Diamond

Jewellery introduced by Messrs. Lionel & Alfred Pyke, of Union Bank Buildings,
Ely Place, Holborn, whose names must be well known in connection with Abyssinian
gold jewellery. The poet has told us that “things are not what they seem,” but in
looking at the diamond necklets, earrings, bracelets, &c., which the gentlemen named
presented to our notice recently, we are sure that poet even would have had some
hesitation in applying his theory to them. These diamonds certaintly were not what
they seemed to be, but the imitation wras so like the real thing that it was not
easy to detect the difference. In every article submitted to our notice there was a
finish and a beauty that compelled admiration, and there can be no doubt that when
once known this imitation jewellery will be extensively utilised for stage purposes.

“ SOCIETY.”

I hear that Messrs. Pyke, of “Abyssinian Gold” renown, are introducing their

invention largely for use upon the stage, and that the remarkable Imitation
Diamonds with which the various ornaments are set defy detection, even upon

close examination, while their effect from the front of the house is superb. In these
days of realism it is highly desirable that stage ornaments should be something very
much better than the thwdry counterfeits which were formerly thought good enough,
and from what I have seen of Messrs. Pyke’s jewellery, I fancy it will soon be “the
only wear ” behind the footlights.

“PICTORIAL WORLD.”

Abyssinian Gold and Imitation Diamonds.—The recent discussion as to
the merits of various imitation or “manufactured” diamonds has aroused public
interest to such an extent that it was with feelings something very much akin to plea¬
sure that we received an invitation to inspect and report on the jewellery introduced
by Messrs. L. and A. Pyke. The first articles submitted to us was a tray of Imitation
Diamond Rings. We examined them very carefully, and a real diamond ring valued
at thirty guineas was placed amongst them, and we were asked to pick it out. There
were only three dozen rings in the tray, and after ten attempts we were compelled to
give it up, the imitation and the real being so much alike. Indeed, worn on the
finger, detection is impossible.

BALM OF COLUMBIA,

An important Chemical Discovery, made by

JOHN OLDRIDGE, by the power of Chemistry.

The grand desideratum of preventing the hair from falling off and
of restoring hair on bald places.

By frequent use it will prevent baldness even to old age.

It rapidly made its way over the European Continent, from the plan
adopted by Mr. Oldridge of gratuitously supplying the Balm to all
applicants. It soon obtained a reputation, the value of which is known
and acknowledged in every civilized land.

In A.D. 1824, the Balm of Columbia was introduced into London by
Messrs. Oldridge, and it has gained a name surpassing all others for
its restorative properties, it3 rich perfumes, its unlimited patronage,
and, above all, its being free from any injurious ingredients.

Tne further advantages of the Balm of Columbia may be summed
up in its freeing the hair from scurf, producing a beautiful gloss and
curl, preserving it from premature greyness, and its excellent adaptation
to the nursery, which should never be without it.

Price 3s. 6d., 6s., and 11s. per Bottle.
