The condition OF the legitimate drama in Ne
yada may be inferred from the advice given by
the Virginia City Chron;ete to the stage man
ayers: LET each actor have flexible rubber
pipe extending from the wings along the stage
and runnin. up his lant-lcg to his ear. Through
the pipe the prosnptcr might whisper the lines
SO as not to be heard by any one except the per
son to whom the pipe was attached, and then
there would be no excuse for an actor backing
up against tree and morioning to the promptcr
to come up and yell the part to him.''
