"Lucretia Borgia," his wife doing
Lucretia, and Carter all the balance Of
the extensive cast, by n series Of active
transformations and changes OF dress
1t made things particularly lively foi
Carter, but 1t appears that ne still
sticks to, his role, or combination oil
roles, for the Ely Record of last Thurs
day mentions Carter and his "Com.
bination " as being there at Phoebe last
week, playing "Lucrotia Borgia,"
"Our GAL" 1.-THE Honeymoon" etc;
The versatile Carter would haveplayed
the "Twelve Temptations" Richard
ILL.," or the "Forty Thieves " with tlle
same happy facility II they desired it.)
"Lucrstia Borgia" however was Car
ter's strong suit at Phoebe, and Was
what brought down the house, for the
Record says that at the most Interest,"
ing part of tho last scene "the raised
seats, containing some one hundred
and twenty-five persons, gave way anu
came down with a terrible crash, land
ing them all on the floor rather mixed.
They went down like a gallant crew
Of a sinking ship crying stage! stage
and so far from being panic stricken
they appeared to like it, and would not
have changed places with those occr-
pying safe positions In front for any
amount, even when half the distance
had been trayersed on the way to the
floor. Strange to say no M was hurt
and the performance was proceeded
with. There was a general exchange
Of hats. and if any one got worsted by
the trade It was the only damage done
by the fall" Manager Piper, of the
