Call me but love, will fOrswear nay name,
Course those carpenters"
And never more be Romeo.

Actress voice below-"Mrs. Yanden-.
hof, you've caught your dress in nail;
mind it don't trip you"
A hiss from the audience.
And so on till the end Of the scene,
when, Just as, with fear and trembling, ]
had descended and put my foot on terra
frma, the whole side-front of Capulet's
house, balcony, terrace, platform and all
came Gathering TO the ground, in sight of
the audience. George rushed off to
His ghostly fathers cell,
His help to crave, and
The rest of the line was drowned in the
roars Of the audience.
Sol Smith, in his Theatrical Manage
ment, gives several amusing instances of
involuntary asides, the first of practical
joke,
Between two rival singers, DIR. Carr,
cockney, and Still, Of the Camp Street
Theatre, the troupe managed to create an
enmity, and, as a climax, made them be
lieve that the one who did the worst in
his part in ''The Two Soldiers" would be
discharged. Carr had an orange to clear
his throat, and Still some mixture in a
four-ounce vial to improve his voice.
Their mischievons comrades comrades
doctored the orange with snuff, and the
vial with pepper vinegar. As they used
their remedies just before going oD, each
suspected the other.
They met ct the steps which led to the
stage. The vinegar and the snuff began
to be tasted. swat the ell ave you been
putting into my horange?" shouted the
doctor. ''What damned stuff have you
been putting into my vial?" replied Still.
"By God, I'll vip you ven come of the
stage" continued Carr. Here the prompt
er's voice was heard exclaiming: The
stage is waiting for Lennox and Sinclair"
Away they went, and met on the stage as
friends, though their side glances were
anything but amiRble. The cue for Stills
song was given TO the orchestra, and after
clearing his throat as well as he could, he
began, interlining the words of the poet
with some expressions Of his own, thus;
Oh, my love is like the red rose
That sweetly springs in June
'Just wait till / catch you out that's
all"
Ny love is like the melody
'Ill be d-d if don't lay cane on
your back"
That sweetly plays in tunei
81 believe it's poison"
And win love my bonnie lass,
''My throat is all raw"
So deep in love am l.
s'Oh, you big-mouthed villain"
That viii love thee still, my dear,
"I can't stand it.
Though all the seas gang dry.
II shall choke
Thoueh al the seas gand dry, my dear,
Though ali the ssas gang dryi
Cent some one get me glass o.
AndI win love thee still my dear,
II can't sing fhe second verse.
Though ali the seas gang dry.
Then came 9. 3 turn; me snufE began /,

'I'll fight you By cd"
The foe i now before us;.
