The Geological Drama.

Sensational realism On the stage is
advancing step by step before the
footlights, and the other night in
Philadelphia, it came near bounding
out into the audience, but happily the
people did not know it in time to be
sensationally thrilled. Mr.. Frank
Frayne and combination are giving a
play at the New National theatre, in
which a lion figures. In the play,
Frayne is accused of a crime, and as
zerts that he can prove his innocence
by a scrap of writing which is con.
cealed in a lions leathern collar. He
approaches an apparently unfast-
ened lion on the stage and
takes out the paper after
witch the curtain falls on the act pic
ture producing the required
sensation. Now Frayne's dog
Jack, well known to audiences as one
of the actors in ISL Slocum," was left
out of the cast of the new place and
the lion, Nero, was substituted as the
geological feature. Jack was doubtless
professionally jealous of his royal
highness, Nero, and prowled around
uneasily behind the scenes, takinga
keen interest in the lion act. The ma
tive American mastif wasishelved and
the foreigner was the reigning favor
lite. Jack could not be blamed for
making adash the other night at Nero's
cage after he had done his act and
been locked up. The lion got fu-
rious at the dogs impertinence, and in
his royal rage broke n of the bars of
his cage and then another, while a
third broken bar would have set him
free TO roam around, roaring, seeking
whom he might devour. The dog
stood his ground nobly, but the act
ors, where were they2 Some flew to
the "hies," aud some shot out into
the street in their stage attire, and if
the audience had only had a hint of a
loose lion, what a rough-and.tumble
scat~teration there would have been In
But Nero was secured by his
and Jack still lives, and no.
body was hurt. The geological drama
is gaining ground.
