MISCELLANEOUS READING.
FUNNY SCENE IN A CALIFORNIA
THEATRE

We suppose that very many Of our city
readers have seen Miss Eliza Logan, Miss
julia Dean, or somebody else, play "Egaine.
or the Statues" by Shiel. One Of the great
points in the play is scene where Evaduo
appeals to the King not 70 dishonor himself
or her. and arouses him by thrilling ailu.
sous to the statues of her ancestors, Whieh
stand around ON the stage. The statues are
generally poor concerns IN all theatres
merely some boards hued into the proper
shape and painted but in California they
must be IceHe worse than here. With this
explanation we offer the following tsceuous
yarn frcm the Shasta Courier:
The thrilling tragedy OF "E9adne" was be-
ing performed. The "shadowy representa-
tions" used on this occasion were the handl-
work of the chisel of an artist yet unknown
to fame, viz: Mr.. Blake, the manager OF the
company, and of course were properly ar
ranged on the stage.
The Kipg--Mr. George Ryer-lelivered
with the proper accent his speech of eulogy
upon the lovely form and varied charms OF
the fair Evadbt--Mrs. E'teile PotteT--who,
in asubdued voice, replied:
"You were speaking
Ofscul pture, sire--I do remember me,
You are deemed worshlpper OF that nigh art.
Here, my lord,
Is matter Tor your transport
And turning, she pointed to sundry rcmarka-
BILE imperfect statuary represen taslons OF JOhn
Chnaman. OF course, being woman, th'
sight Of these representations OF her "glori-
ous ancestors" proved too much for her, and
she went of into transports of laughter
The king, contrary to all stage rules, follow
ed suit, with sundry outlaws. and the audi
ence Joined in with a yell. When the laugh
ter bad somewhat subsided, the play contin.
ucd with due decorum; until EVadne, turn
ing TO another statue, exclaimed:
Behold
The glorious founder ofmy family!
II is the great Rudolpho"
When, of course, the king snorted, and the
fair tragedienne stuffed a cambric hsndker-
chief into her mouth. This scene was again
renewed by the beautiful and virtuous Evad
mes exclamation, as she pointed to a third
statue:
another ofmy ancestors, my liege,
Guelfo, the murderer!
1t is impossible to comprehend fully the
ludicrousnesS of the scene, without having
first beheld the works of scul pture used on the
occasion. We are quite sure that Mrs Pot
ter will never again attempt the character OF
Evadne, without, before the rising Of the
curtain, having had glimpse of the statues
intended to represent her glorious ances-
tors"
