Bernard. who directed the first French
theatre from 1924 to 1927. was one OF the
few directors who had discovered the art
OF managing this unmanageablc audience.
The pit was fond OF calling him before the
footights when dissatisfied with this or
that detail Of the performance, and Ber-
nard would explain with an air OF patcr-
nal 6OnhOmje which put everybody
i'm humor. These qualities did not
most men would have lost their temper.
In the winter OF 1925 certain mclodrama
was produced from the pen OF Thomas
Salvage, weIl-knOwn literary hack OF the
time. under the title OF PrccioSa. The re-
ception awarded to this unfortunate piece
was so terrible shat the curtain was lowered
before the end. But even so the audience
were pot satisfied. They clamored inces-
sanity for Bernard, till the director at last
appeared and asked them what they want
ed "The end, VI. Bernard. How doe, it
end ?" "PreciOSa is recognized by her
parents, and " (Bcrnard had been playing

who was 30 eXaSperated by the reception
given to his piece that in the middle Of the
fourth act he rushed on to the stage,
seized his manuscript out OF the hands

WHAT A MARYLAND MAN SAW WHILE RIDING
IN CART.

From the Cecil (Nld.l Wmg.l
The existence in Elk Neck, two miles
southeast OF the town, Of an enormous
snake has for several years been asserted. n
number Of persons having testified to
meeting his snakeShip ON his ramblcs, but
not until recently has the fact OF his exist
tence been reduced TO Il certainty. 4 few
days ago a gentleman whose veracity is
beyond question, and whose head is too
level 10 mistake shadow for the sub
stance, while passing along the Neck
road near Mill creek in cart saw
about twenty-five yards in advance OF him
the body Of monster crossing the road.
How much Of the forward part OF the rep
tile had already disappeared in the bushes
il was impossible to tell, but the portion in
view extended entirely across the road,
and there was still portion in the under
growth on the side from which it was pass
ing. The road at this point is about elgh-'
teen feet in width, and it is estimated that
his snakeship is at the lowest calculation
ten feet greater in length, making him in
all twenty-eight feet long. In thickness
his body was apparently OF the dimensions
OF an ordinary stove-pipc. the observer
declaring that ii was not a bit less
in size. and of dark color. When
first observed the gentleman supposed it to
be a log lying across the roadway. but
presently seeing it in motion, its true char.
acter was realized. At first. it moved
slowly. but hearing the noise of the ap-
preaching cart, the driver having whipped
up his horses to get closer view of him.
his movements were quickcned, and he
soon disappeared in the woods. This mar.
ratlve may be relied upon as true; and OF
the existence OF monster snake in the To-
cality referred to there is not particle of
doubt. -
