MACREAnY AND YANDERHoFF.-George Wander
hOtf, in his "Reminiscences" tells the following
perfectly characteristic anecdote of the great Eng
lish tragedian:
At the rehearsal of ''Werner," after Gabor's re-
latiou of the murder by Uric, when the Hun
garian has retired into the turret, to await Wer
ner's decision, and Uric, after an angry scene
with his father, says before he leaves him:
Keep your own secret, keep steady eye;
Stir not, and speak not leave the rest me
We must have no third babbler thrust between us
implying, of course, that Gabor's mouth must be
stopped as Straenhem's had been; Mr.. Macready
requested Inc to go up the stage, and speak these
words from the extreme back of it, to him, as he
stood in the very front of the foot lights with
face of angush-the picture for the eve to rest on.
"Oh, no" | said, 81 must whisper those words in
your ear, surely; not call them out loud. that
would be to defeat their very object, by risking
their being overheard"
"But," he replied, 81 have always had it done
so, and wish you to do it in that manner
'But,' | said, OTIS an inconsistency. Shall |,
in the great hall of the CASTLE outside of which
doubtless sentries, pages in waiting, c0urtiers and
attendants, passing and repassing-shall | cry out
aloud to you, This is terrible secret which this
man has reveiled, it involves the honor and safety
of house; but keep still; leave it to me- and I'll
silence the fellows lips forever and that seems
to me not at all UraisemJlabie.'
'Then you refuse to do it?" he asked
'I could not do it," | said; OTIS too inconsis-
tent"
"Then,' said he augrily, ''you are the first Uric
who ever refused me on this point.
was somewhat struck by this arttul reproach,
and said.
'Alr. Macready, if you will give me your honor
that if you were playing Ulric, you would act the
scene in the way you direct me to do, I'll yield at
once"
"Oh," said he, with a peculiar infection of
voice, 'that's quite different thing"
| thought so.
