Excerpt from Sixty Jane All this was supported by a hoop-skirt which gave the boys more pleasure than any other article of her attire. For they would run back and forth to tilt this, with elaborate evidence of accident. Then would be disclosed to the inactive participants a pair of Con gress gaiters, out of the relaxed, calyx-like tops of which started a pair of ghostly ankles. So it was that on these holiday occasions the boys would pelt her bandbox, tilt her hoopskirt, make humorous remarks about her turban, and worry her in the way boys know so well, until she turned and - smiled!

Excerpt from Madam Butterfly: Opera in Three Acts Three years have passed. Pinkerton has long since been recalled to America, promising his little wife to return to her when the robins nest. The curtain rises on a sadder and wiser suzuki, praying against all convio tion for pinkerton's return, and on a faithful, ever-trusting, never - doubting butterfly. She declines to listen to suzuki's misgivings: 'tis faith you are lacking! She says, and in most touching language she draws a vivid pic ture of pinkerton's speedy return: This will all come to pass just as I tell you. Banish your idle fears, for he'll return, I know it l.

John Luther Long was born on January 1, 1861 at Hanover, Pennsylvania, United States.
Long was admitted to the bar in Philadelphia, October 29, 1881, and became a practising lawyer, but his bent was toward literature, and he wrote many short stories. One of these, "Madame Butterfly, " published in the Century Magazine for January 1898 and later that year in a collection, attracted much attention. A little tale of the deserted Japanese wife of an American naval officer, it was touching in its simple tragedy and caught with seeming authenticity the Oriental atmosphere. As a matter of fact, the author had never been in Japan. His story and atmosphere were based on the observation of his sister, Mrs. Irwin Correll, the wife of a missionary. The details were carefully verified from her experience.
More than one American actress sought the dramatic rights to this story, among them Maude Adams, but Long disposed of them to David Belasco, because Belasco proposed himself to dramatize the tale. He did so, and the play was produced as an after-piece to a comedy, at the Herald Square Theatre, New York, March 5, 1900, with Blanche Bates as the little Japanese wife. The dramatization was entirely the work of Belasco, but he used much of the original dialogue, and had Long's assistance in the creation of atmosphere. The production was an immediate success, but the stage life of the play was soon to be indefinitely prolonged, because Puccini, the Italian composer, chose it for the libretto of what time has proved his most popular opera, Madame Butterfly. First produced in Milan, without success, it was sung in English translation in America at the Garden Theatre, New York, November 12, 1906, and highly acclaimed. Since then it has gone into the repertory of every opera house, and the pathetic, wistful story of little Butterfly is known all over the civilized world, and seems likely to perpetuate Long's name for many years to come.
This collaboration with Belasco led to further work together, in which Long contributed the actual scenarios and dialogue of two plays, which were then worked over by the two men, and resulted in two dramas of distinction, marking, with Madame Butterfly, the best of Long's production. The plays were The Darling of the Gods, a romantic Japanese melodrama, produced in Washington, November 20, 1902, with Blanche Bates and George Arliss in leading roles, and Adrea, a tragedy of the late Roman Empire, produced in Washington, December 26, 1904, with Mrs. Leslie Carter in the title part. The former play was the more successful on the stage, perhaps because of its exotic color, its thrilling situations, a certain strain of romantic mysticism, and superb acting. The latter play, however, had much tragic dignity, and represented on Long's part a prodigious amount of careful historical research. These three plays represented the peak of Long's achievement in the theatre, or, indeed, in literature.
He was not, by himself, a successful dramatist, but needed the technical skill of a collaborator in sympathy with his romantic conceptions to give them stage form. With E. C. Carpenter he wrote The Dragon Fly (produced in Philadelphia, 1905), and alone he wrote Dolce (produced by Mrs. Fiske in Philadelphia and then in New York in 1906), Kassa (produced in New York, January 23, 1909, with Mrs. Leslie Carter in the leading rôle), and finally Crowns (produced at the Provincetown Theatre, November 11, 1922). None of these plays was a success, nor exhibited the striking quality of romantic imagination Belasco had enabled his friend to release into the theatre.
He also wrote the text for several cantatas, and tried his hand at two opera librettos. With the passage of time, however, all these works have been largely forgotten, save only the story of Madame Butterfly. He lived quietly in Philadelphia until his death, reticently avoiding the publicity which generally comes to successful writers.
