PROM THE v. o. rICAYUNE.
GREEN ROOM DROI.I.ERIES,

The play was the Lady Of the Lake, and mas
sive gold chain was wanted for King James to put
around Elen's neck, in the lat scene.
The property book ihection was briefly "7 chain
for Fnz-James."
Whether somebody had been hoaxng the pro
perty man, whether the thing arose purely out of
his own stupidity, we never discovered, bat when
Fi'1James walked into the green-room at night, in
his royal silk and velvet robes, and snow. white
gaun,lets, ready for the last sceno calk we heard
mos, ordinary clater in the viciaity of the
property ro m, and in came poor "Fly," (the pro-
per,y NAM dragging, for he couldn't carry it, an
enormous rusty iron chain. such as is used in trans
porting blocks Of granite through the streets!
"Mr. Fiz-James, here's your chain sir" said Ioor
Fly.
"What!' almost shiirkcd the royal Saxon, while
the whole company, then present in the greens
| room, went off into convulsons of laugter.
"Lades and gentlemen exclaimed the stage
man'g T, rushing from the prompt place, "you're

James, "they woGld laugh, sir, if the thunder of

nous chain cable, grasped his sides suddenly, and
then seeing the scfs engaged, and it not being po-

of the grcon.room. and flung himself down behind
the wings, rolling and choking with laughter. Thi.
was throwing birthstone into the FIRE. Every bod,
jumped up to see the manager roll, and the ladies
gave themselves up to downright and uncontroila
ble ocsacies. fle people in front looked at one
another in CONSERVATION at hearing female scream,
proceeding from behind the scenes and the actors
on the stage forgot their parts, and said to each
other, (a-ile,) What under Heaven is going on
