An Incident That Enraged the Actor
and Amused the Audience.
Some years ago a melodrama was
being performed in a country theater,
the chief actor in which had made
himself, from his haughty and over
bearing conduct, disliked by all. In ;
the last sceae he was supposed tc
vlit the tombs of his ancestors. In
the center of the stage upon a marble
pedestal stood the statue of his father.
A. heavy fold of Crapery covered the
figure. Enter Albert, who thus ad
dressed the statue:
T am here once again to gaze upon
those features which in life so often
looked on me with tenderest affection.
Father, thy mourning son now comes
to pay thee adoration. Let me re
move the veil which from the vulgar
gaze shields the beloved image of a
once dear parent r
Off went the drapery, and, behold,
there was disclosed the statue of the
father gracefully standing upon its
head.
The effect cannot be described. It
was electric. The shouts of laughter
which followed the mistake of the su
per effectually put an end to the
scene, which changed to the next as
quickly as possible amid the jeers of
the audience, the anger of the mana
ger and the uncontrollable rage of the
actor. London Telegraph.
THE PARISIAN CABMAN.
A Deadly Verbal Insult That Will
Render Him Speechless.
A discreet knowledge of slang is a
very useful accomplishment for the
stranger or the foreign resident in
Paris. Thus if a cabman is rude or
more than usually extortionate or if
he splashes you with mud from head
to foot as he passes and then turns
around to grin at the damage done,
and cochers frequently do these things,
an inadequate command of the nice
ties of the French language leaves all
the advantages on his side.
You might call him "idiot" or "sau
vage," but this would only tickle him.
If, however, you were able to shout
"Va dono, Collignonr the result of the
encounter would be at once wholly In
your favor.
