patient There we're loud calls for Berry,

Of the rising Of the curtain and the loves

laughter, varied BY occasional whoops.
STRIKE
Nine Oc.0ck came and passed and the
crowd began to murmur and cry for Berry
in earnest. The word went round that si,s
talent supporting the star had nulinied
and refused 10 come on until some currency
va circulated. 1t looked very much this
way and the crowd accepted the explans-
lion and volunteered in loud voice . col.
lection il Berry would pass the hat.
Finally At half.past nine the curtain
went up on the 6rst act Of the Lady Of Ly-
ons. The dialogue between Pauline and
Madam DeschapelIes vas received With &C.
casional horae laughs, but the interruptions
were mild enough compared With the storm
which burst forth when Beausesnt strobe
in. Alter vainly endeavorine 10 say hia
lines. the actor bounced forward TO the foot
lights and invited his tormenten to 'come
on the stage and do the setting themselves
II they weren't satisfied" This provoked
. storm Of Applause and secured Beauseani
brief hearing until he expressed an ardent
desire to 'bury me in my chateau"
"Berry Mitchell' moaned the gods up
aloft and Beaussnt went o6 amid an orches.
trail accompaniment Of howls.
The second scene furnished pantomime
between Beauseant, Claws and the landlord
Of the Golden Lion.
NOT WORD COULD BE HEARD
but the actors moved about working their
arms and their mouths enerxetically. 'Cut
il short" "cut il Short" the crowd cried
continuously and this a. the trio tripped in
at the door of the Golden Lion the calls for
"Berry" were deafeninR.
The third scene Disclosed the widow Mel
notte, and there we're manifestions of strong
approval over the prospective appearance
Of the star. Berry came on, his gun BE-
decked with ribbons, and the boys "let
themselves loose" literally. The stage all
1t once seemed to become the focus for the
distributed contents OF huckster's wagon.
Radishes, potatoes and larger vegetables
ratified down upon the stsge. Berry put Up
his arm 10 shield his face while the widow
aed precipiiately for shelter behind the
wings.
n hope the police will throw these

out OF the house." exclaimed Berry, with
IN ouiburst Of honest rage which fairly a.
tonished bis admirers. Then in . moment
he added half pi.eously, "wha. am doing
to thee that you should assault me in this
manner"
The shower Of vegetables suddenly ceased
and gave place to genuine applause and
encouraging shouts of "for shame" go on
Berry," go on" 1t Wa noticeable that the
most vigorou. contributor to the vegetable
collections shouted most cheeringly to the
star. But Berry didn't go on. He looked
around belplessIy . few moments for
the widow. She was not in sight Then
he went to the wings and in few minutes
returned and said, perplexedIy: "Mr.
Grierson says he won't have his wife in.
suited so, she won't play"
The announcement vas received With
cheers. which brought Mr.. Grieron to the
front and he reiterated his determination
not TO have his wife insulted.
The crowd individually and collectively
treasured him and the widow reappesred.
Az che came on Grierson said: "Go on nov,
and the FIRST thing that's thrown, yoa walk
right o."
THE crowd cheered, m fact the cheering
never ceased. Ii was little louder some.
times than at Others.
Berry commenced bis conversation With
the widow and was just warming up to the
lines when there came . shout from the
gallery. "Who says Berry Amt an actor p
"IDo,"
vas the response in . similarly emphatic
tone. There we're oaths and yelIs and
erie. Of "throw him down." and . great

the house shsieked and started toward the
doon. The parquette crosd stared NJ the

then broke out With horrible yells and
shouts Of laughter. Down cane the cur
