A Slinru Smili.
Ono night I had been ono of tho crowd
of "witches" I bad also had my placo at
tJiat shameless papier macho banquot given
by Mncbeth to his tantalized gucMH. aud
then being off duty, was ns usual planted, lu
tlio ontranco, wutchlug tho acting of tho
grownup nnd the grown-great. I.ady
Macbeth was giving tho sleep walking
scene. Her method wus of tho old, old
old school. Bho spoko nt almost tho full
power of hor lungs throughout that mys
terious, awe-inspiring sleep walking scene.
It Jarred upon my feelings I could not
havo told why, but it did. I believed my
self alono nnd when thd mcmcry-liauntcd
woman roared out: "Vet, who would have
thought tho old man to havo had ho much
blood In hlni?" 1 remarked "sotto voice:
"Did you expcct to And Ink In him?"
A sharp "ahoml" right lit my -shoulder
told mo 1 had been overheard and I turned
to face oh, horror! tho stage manager.
Ho glared angrily at mo and begau: "Since
wheu hnve tho ladles of tho ballet taken
to criticising tho work of tho stars?"
Humbly enough, I enld: "I beg your
pardon, sir I 1 was Just talking to my
self, that was all."
Hut ho went on: "Oh, you would not
criticise a rending unless you could better
it so pray favor us with your Ideas on this
speech,"
Each sneering word cut mo to tho heart
Tears filled my eyes. I struggled hard to
kep them from falling, whllo I JUBt mur
mured; "I beg your pardon!" Again ho
demanded my rending, saying:' "They wero
not tori old to learn," nud In bhecr des
peratlon I exclaimed; "I was only speak
Ing to, myself, but I thought I.ady Macbeth
was amazed at tho quantity of blood that
flowed from the body of such nn old man

In which a young girl could begin her pro
fessional lite. Tho manuger, Mr. John A.
Kllsler, was an excellent character uctnr,
as well as a first old man. His wife, Mrs.
Efllo Kllslcr, was his leading woman his
daughter Ktlle, though not out of school
nt that tlmo, nctcd whenover thcro was a
very good part that suited her. Tho first
singing soubrotto was tho wlfo of tho
prompter and tbo stugo manager. Tho
first old woman was tho mother of tho walk
ing woman, nnd so It camo about that
thero wus not oven tho pink Hush of a
flirtation over the first season; and, though
another season was shaken and thrilled
through nnd through by tho elopement of
James I.owis with Miss Krnnklo Hurlburt, a
young woman from private llfo In Cleveland,
ynt In all tho year I served In tho old
theater, no real scandal ever smirched It.
A lilt of Ilronil Coninly.
My manager considered me to havo a real
gift of comedy and ho several times do
oJarod that my being n girl wus a distinct
loss to tho profession of a flno low come
dian. It was In playing n broad comedy bit
thnt my odd oxporlenco camo to me. Mr.
Dan Setcholl was tho star. Ho was an
extravagantly funny comedian nnd ,tho
laziest man I ovor saw too luzy oven to
rchcarso his most Important scenes prop
erly. Ho would sit on tho prompt tnblo
n table placed near tbo footlights at re
hearsal, holding tho manuscript, writing
matcrluls, otc, with n rhajx at cither end,
ono for tho star, tho other for tho prompter
or stage manager anil with his short legs
dnngllug, ho would dozo a little through
other people's scenes, rousing himself re
luctantly tor his own, but Instead of ris
ing, taking his pluco on tho stage and ro
hciuslng properly, ho would kick his legs
back and forth nnd smiling pleasantly,
would lazily repeat his lines where ho
was, adding:. "I'll bo on your right hand
vhen I say that, Herbert. Oh, nt your
exit, Kltslor, you'll leavo In tho center, but
whon you como back you'll find me down
left."
After telling James Lewis several times
nt what, places he would And him nt night,
Lewis remarked In despair; "Well, Ood
knows wh4ro you'll find me at ulght!"
"Oh, never mind, old man!" answered
tho over-smlllug, stcadlly-klcktug Sotchell,
"If you'ro there, all right!" If you'ro not
there no matter!" which was not exactly
flattering.
Of cottrso such rehearsals led to many
errors at night, but Mr. Sotchell cleverly
covered them up from tho knowlcdgo of
tho laughing audience.
It Is hard to Imagine that lazy presence
In tho midst of awful dlsnstor, but ho was
shipwrecked while making tho voyage to
Australia, Put-blind to tho future, ho at
that tlmo laughed and comfortably shirked
his work In tho daytime and made others
laugh when ho did his work at night.
In ono of his plays I did -a small part
with him. I was his wlfo, n former old
maid of crabbed temper. I had asked Mr.
Kllslcr to make up my facd for mo as an
old and ugly woman. I woro cork-screw
side curls und an awful wrapper. I was a
fearful object nnd when Mr. Setchcll first
suw mo. he stood silent for n moment,
then ntter rubbing his stomach hard and
grimacing, he took both my hands, exclaim
ing: "Oh, you hideous Jowcl! you posl
tlvoly gavo mo a cramp at Just first sight
of you, Oo In! llttlo girl, for all you'ro
worth and do Just what you please you
deserve tha liberty for that makeup!"
Took Illm nt 111 Word.
And, goodness knows, I took h'.m at his
word and did anything that came Into my
giddy head. Kven than I possessed that
curious blxth senso of tho born actress,
and, as a doctor with tho aid of his stotlto-
scopo can hear sounds of grim warning or
of kindly promlso whllo thero Is but silence
"to tho stander-by, so an actress with tha't
stothescope sixth sense detects even tho

And, that night meeting with a tiny mis
hap which seemed to umuso tho uudlcnco,
I seized upon It, elaborating It to tho limit
and making It my own, after the manner of
an experienced old actor.

There was no elegant comedy of manners
In tho scone, understand; it was Just tho
broadest farce, aud it consisted of tho des
pcrato effort of n hen-pecked husband to
assert himself and gra,sp tho reins of homo
government, which resolved ltsell at last
Into a scolding match, in which each tried
to talk tho other down with what result
you know well without tho telling.
Tbo stage was sot for a morning room, I
with a tnblo In tho center spread with
breakfast for two; a chair nt either sldo
and, as it happened, a footstool by mine.
Ills high silk bat and some papers, also,
wcro upon tho table. For somo uncxplaln-
ablo cause, the silk hat has always been
recognized both by auditor nnd actor, as
n legitimate object, of fun-making, so when
I absentmlndedly dropped all my toast
ctusts into that shining receptaulo, tbo
audience expressed Its approval lu lnughtcr
and so started mo on my downward way
for thut was my own Idea, nnd not u re
hearsed one. When my husband mourn
fully asked If thero "wu3 not ono hut bis
cuit to be had," 'I dollberatcly tried each
ono with tho back of my knuckles nnd re
marking "yes, hero is Just ono" which
was tho correct lino In tho play I took It
myself, which was not In tho play. And
so wo went on till tbo scolding match was
reached.
In my first noisy speech I meant to stamp
my foot, but by accident, I brought It dawn
lipop tho footstool. Tho people laughed--
I saw a point I lifted tho other foot and
stood upon tho stool. I)y the twinkle. In Mr.
Setchell's eye, as well- as by the laughtor
in front, I know I was on tho right track.
Ho roared ho lifted his arms abovo Ills
head, and In my reply, nB I raised my voice,
I mounted from tbo stool to the seat of tho
chair. Ho seized his hat and with toast
crusts falling about his face und ears,
Jammed It on his head, whllo in my Inst
speech, with my volco at Its highest
bcreech, I lifted my foot and firmly planted
It upon tho very breakfast table.
It was enough tho storm broko from
laughter to applause. Mr. Setchell hail an
other speech one of resigned acceptance of
second place but as tho applause continued
ho knew It would bo an nntl-clitnnx and ho
signalled tho prompter to ring down the
curtain.
Hut I I knew ho ought to speak! I wn8
frightened tears filled my eyes!
"What is It? I whispered, as I sturted to
got down.
"Stand stllll" ho sharply nnswered then
added: "It's you, you funny llttlo Idiot;
you've made u hit, that's all!" and tho cur
tain fell between us ami tho laughing crowd
In front.
The prompter started for me instantly
from his corner, exclaiming In his anger.
"Well, of all cheeky dovllment I over heard
or saw!" Hut Mr. Setchell had him by the
arm In a second, crying: "Hold on, old
man! I gavo her leave oho had my, per
mission. Oh, good Lord) did you sco thnt
ascent of tho stool, chair and table? Ha!
ha! ha!"
Niicvrss mill Teurs.
I stood trembling Uko a Jelly In a hot
day. Mr. Setchell said: "Don't be fright,
oned, llttlo glrll That applause was for
youl you won't bo tlned or scolded; you'vo
mado a hit, that's nil!" and he patted mo
kindly on tho shoulder nnd broko again Into
fat laughter.
