MARRIAGE BEFORE THE FOOT
LIGHTS

They had a novel performance in the
Varieties Theatre, san Francisco, few
.venings since, a performance not men
Toned on the bills, and probably an un-
urscsdented one. Il consisted Of the mar
li8ge. between the acts, Of Miss Winnie
Florence RadcliH, Of the variety profession,
and Morris Welsh, a clog dancer, con
uected with tle establishment. At ten
O'Clock. we are told, the curtain rose amid
a flourish from the orchestra. The stage
rppresented a draWiug-rOOm scene, in which
the bridal party, with the full strength Of
the company in the rear, made their APP
pelrauce. The bride was dressed in white
silk with the usual veil and orange bios
SONS: the bridesmaids also IL white. The
BRIDEGROOM was decked in kids, white vest
and claw-hammer coat. The members
of the company appeared in their
rtrular stage costumes. The waiter girls
ISrpred next the wings dressed in tights
and short dresses, and altOgethdE The ap-
paarancc ofthe bridal patty, Ganked by
negro Ministries, juggleTs and eccentric
D1tcHmeu and ballet-dancers, was
something novel. Amid a GREATNESS
hush the Rev. Z. 4. SmmOns,a Baptist mis-
siYu9ry. stepped forward, and with the
strange scene Illuminated by the glare OF
red HIe and accompanied by strains Of the
wedding march from the band, he perform
ed the ceremony, The most impressive
silence prevailed while the benedIctior
was pronounced, and even when the cur
lain fell the crowd seemed niggardly i'm
their applause; but few minutes after,
when the bride appeared i'm q private box,
their peul-up enthusiasm found vent m
fumuitucus demonstrations and con-
timed calls for song. The bride was luz
mediateIv led before the curtain and rem
dered aSilver Threads Among the Cold
while the rude jewellers in the body OF the
house yelled in a manner which made the
building vibrate. Mr. Welch, the newly
welded husband, was then called ont, and
performed a clog dance with more than
usual vigur.
