Two GHOSTS TO ONE HAMLET-Strange
things occasionally occur in theatrical life :
Some few years ago, AT q benefit given TO fire
company in Philadelphia, new asprant for his
tronic honors appeared on the boards of th1
Walnut street theatre. The play was Ham.
let" Jlst before the curtain rose, the gentle
man engaged to play the "ghOst," struck for
wages and the manager was forced to sup
ply his place as best he could.
In due time, the play went on, and the ghost
in blue armor appeared, saying in his usual lu-
gubrious tone
" Hamlet, / an, thy fathers ghoar'
When, even as the Prince Of Denmark was
contemplating the image Of his fathers ghost,
voice was heard from another wing
"Dont you believe him, Hamlet; am your
fathers ghost-this fellow uuderbd me-"
And with the word, another "ghos" in blue
armor, of course, stepped on the Stage.
The embarrassment of Hamlet was extreme.
Too ghosts of one father, both dressed in blue
srmor, speaking at once, and euch claiming to be
the Ghost Simon Pure, as thus
"a ~Hsmlet, am thy fathers ghost" began

"No, Hamlet, I'm your fathers ghost" cried
No. 2.
aDoomed for a certain time to walk the
earth" continued No. /.
- aNo, Hamlet" said Ghost No. 2, insinuating.
ly-aIts me that's doomed to walk the earth
not him You see he plays for five dollars a
week, and would not do it under six. I'm
your fathers ghost, Hamlet"
/. At thi. juncture, while Hamlet stood looking
from one TO the other, in most unprincely confu-
sion, No again rallied
~ 81 could a tale unfold" he said.
"Al fudge, Hamlet; it's me that could the
tale unfold" cried Ghost No. 9. "Ths fellow
amt got any tale to unfold. Pm your fathers
ghost, my boy"
At this crisis the curtain fell, leaving Hamlet

the scene, while the audience were shedding
