THEATRICAL ANECDOTE.—On Saturday last a
ludicrous incident occurred in iir" Roland for an'elliter." was'iss
the scene in which the Hon. Alfred Highflyer first sees Sir Mark
Chase, believing him to be mad. Sir Mark-has a double-barrel-
led gun, which he offers to Mr. Highflyer, in order that he may.
enjoy a shot. Jones, who performs Highflyer, in order to humour
the supposed mad Baronet, takes it, and concluding it to be un-
loaded, aims at a tame macaw, which is seen hopping about in
its cage in a summer-house. The gun ought to go off, but,
unfortunately, it only burned priming. Jones tried the other
barrel, but with the same result; and the macaw continued
hopping about as before. For a minute boils actors stood
looking at each other. Jones seemed inclined -to go on as if
he had actually shot the macaw, but Murray thought this too
palpably absurd; so he said--" Lord bless me ; there must
he something wrong about the gun ; let me look at the
flints."-After a little delay he turned it, desiring Jones to try it
now--Jones did try it, but nothing ensued, but two more
flashes in the pan. The audience was in an uproar ;—some con-
vulsed with laughter, and others with hisses. The performers were
non-plussed. Jones was for dashing right through, and making
believe he had fired, hut how could Murray say, "Zotinds ! you
have shot my macaw !" when every body saw the bird leaping
lip and down just as usual. So, with some embarrassment, he
went off the stage for another gun,' and left Jones to do what he
could in the meantime. Jones said, " Poor man ! he imagines the
gun is loaded," and waited till Sir Mark returned with another
gn.- • He did not wait long ; either another or the same gun was
put into his hands a third time, and a third time his attempts to
make it shoot were equally fruitless ! Murray saw that it was
absolutely necessary to make a speech ; he bowed to the audience
and said—" Ladies and Gentlemen, you will allow that an occur-
rence of thiS kind does not often happen in this theatre. This is
the first appearance of this gun on any stage; and, as it seems de-
termined not to go off with applause, I am resolved that it shall be
its last." This address restored good humour, and the piece pro:.
ceeded ; but the whole affair was sufficiently amusing. It is right,
however, to add, that we tell it upon the information of a friend,
as we were not ourselves in the house.—Edinburgh Observer.
