THEATRICAL-An elderly gentleman and his
two daughters occupied three front seats in the
parquet. He wanted to leave at the end Of
the first act, but as the audience was very slim,
the young ladies benevolently wished to re-
main. Out went the old man to neighboring
restaurant and put in so profitable an hour that
he came back during the fourth act in very
owly condition. Speaking to the door-kseper,
he requested permission to go up to the family
circle, as ne felt he wasn't fit to 60 sit with his
girls. Up above he went to sleep, and resting
bis head on his arm on the railing front, he
snored like six-hundred- pound porker, to the
great delight of some folks and the holy horror
Of his daughters Up went the usher, and
shaking the old fellow said
See here, you're disturbing the audience. .
"What audience?' demanded the Weakened
sleeper: Il don't see any audience
Il shall have to put out, +" said the usher.
THAT just what want" roared the old,
man. Il want to be put out and there's my
two girls; put them out too, and Ill get home
damn quick.
This made the performance much more live
