In n most outrageous and summary
manner not contemplated In the bills.
Mrs. Bandmann rs "Maritana," Mr..
Hardie rs "Don JOSE" and Cotton as
the king of Spain" duly made their
appearance upon the stage and com.
menced playing their parts all right.
When Mr.. Bandmann In his persona
ton of "Don Caesar" at the proper
time came INT upon the stage and
faced the audience, I crowd of rude
boys and men who had evidently
gathered for the purpose at the rear
portion Of the parqustte, beneath the
dress circle saluted him with a fearful
blast from numerous tin horns and
trumpets, accompanied by the internal
clangor of cow-bells. Mr.. Bandmann
advanced to tho foot-lights amid the
terrific din, bowling low, smiling and
kissing his hands to the audience as
though in the magnanimous acknowl.
edgement of q pleasing and meritId
compliment. His anger, however, got
the better of him, and there he stood
loudly vociferating, with fierce ges-
lures for some minutes, apparently
telling his rude inSulters what he
thought of them; yet no one could
hear a word he was saying. Mrs.
Bandmann came to him, and at length
succeeded in leading him or the stage
She came back directly, and the noise
having subsidized as the drop curtain
went down, she addressed a few words
to the audience. being evidently much
excited, and taking the insult to her
self. She sarcastically thanked the
perpetrators of the insult, and said thai
in all her professional travels through
out the world she had eve been sc
cruelty and wrongfully insulted as on
this present occasion. She retired viii
applause, aud soon afterward StaSt
| Manager Hardie came before the cur.
tain and said q few words to the still
waiting and expectant audience. He
deprecated the uncourteous II insult
ing treatment Of Mr.. Bandmann, and
stated that rs there were ladies anG
gentlemen who had paid for admission
now all was quiet and orderly once
more, with their permission the play
might go on. His remarks were re-
ceived with applause, and the play
might probably have proceeded with
out any further interruption. Mrs,
Bandmann now came out again, still
naturally much excited and affected,
and made another short and appropri.
| ate address to the audience. She said
/" 1t is impossible for the play to go OIL
| under the circumstances. l dare not
have my husband come out again, for
he is very Indignant. 1t is impossible to
proceed with this play. When my nus
band married ME, In England. he PROM
ised me a kind welcome and a warm,
friendly reception in his adopted coun-
try, America, wherever We might 60,
and this is the way the people, Of Washoe
treat us. This is the first time we
were ever so insulted, and the curtain
obliged to come down OH II OF our
plays. If you did not like him, and
would insult him, you might at least
have been gentlemen enough not TO
insult a woman. When American
actors come to England, no matter
how poor they are-and we have had
some very poor ones appear there-we
have always treated them ~courteously,
but see how differently you treat me.
We have done here and shall 60 else
| where, but wherever we may go In TINS
| world, we shall remember this night
n long as we live, and never, never,
never come back to Virginia City
again :" Her remarks were well
spoken, and much applauded ut vari.
Gus points, as we'll as ut the conclu'
sion. The play did not proceed. but
the Gas being turned oil, the audience
went home. Mr.. Bandmann subse'
1uently sent a message from his
| dressine-room to Manager Piper, de-
string three policemen to protect him
on his way home to his hotel, but none
whatever were needed, and when he
got ready he and his wife walked arm
in arm up to the International, unmo
Tested and unnoticed. There was In
fact 10 cause for fear, as the rude boy:
who had given him that ridiculous
charivari serenade, having attained
their object, had left as soon as posi-
BILE, before they should get Into trouble
fearing the consequences. While heart

/ DlIlulllkllll us INV ~ 81 ~ - SASNss
our community, yet we would state
that Mr.. Bandmann has somehow con
trived, by his own style of deportins
himself, to create more enemies botf
in the theatre and out of 1t, and les
friends, than any actor ever appearing
here. He Is not BY any means q first
rate actor, or as good as represented
His style certainly does not suit the
people of this section, yet none of thi:
iustifies the outrageous treatment o.
him last evening, and the perpetrators
deserve punishment.
