How the Latter Dissipated the For
mer's Attack of 'Stage Fright"
From the London Telegraph.
That the inexperienced actor should
tremble nightly and exhibit ali the
symptoms of nervous terror before going
on the stage is regarded by those versed
IN hlstronic matters as a promising token
of a coming triumph; but that the same
rule holds good of public readers and re-
citers might perhaps have been doubted
were it not that Miss Kemble vouches
for The fact that William Makepeace
Thackeray himself, on the occasion
of his first delivery of lectures on
The Four Georges" was, de-
spite his great reputation and un-
doubted genius, absolutely unnamed
by fear of his audience. This accom-
plished lady happened to look in at Will
lis's rooms just before the hour fixed for
Thackeray's reading, and to her surprise
she found the eminent satirist standing
like forlorn, disconsolate giant" in
the middle of the room staring about
him. He held my hand like scared
child" writes Miss Fanny Kemble,
crying, oh, don't leave me! I am
sick at my stomach with fright But,
said l, Thackeray, you mustn't stand
here. Your audience are beginning to
come in" and so saying Miss kemble
kindly led him out into the retiring room
adjoining the lecture hall. The novelist
had left the manuscript of his lecture on
the reading-desk. and Miss Kemble vol
unteered to recover it for him. and in So
doing scattered the leaves all about the
floor. In the greatest confusion and
distress she took the wreck of his manu-
script back to Thackeray, thinking she
had done some irreparab1e injury The

The remarkable success on the stage
OF Mary Andersen, who is Kentucky
girl, has stage-struck host of damsels
in that state. 1t was stated some time
ago that no less than fifty Kentucky girls
were reading, reciting and acting In anna
teur theatrical entertainments, all of
them being more or less sanguine of
achieving the fame and fortune won by
Mary Anderson. One of them, Miss
Anna Dunlop, very handsome young
lady, daughter of a wealthy citizen of
Owensboro, went over to Evansville,
Ind, the other day and made her debut
on the stage in a variety theatre in
"Plnafore." Her father went over and
made her give up an engagement, but
left her III Evansville with relatives,
when she made an effort to marry the
manager of the theatre in order to get
his protection and an opportunity to 90

worthless fellow, and already had one
wife, had procured a license, when her
friends discovered the situation ofaffairs
and compelled him to give it up to them.
The young lady, in response to remon-
strances said, that SO far as the manaer was
concerned she aredvery little for him;
that she wasonly marrying him as
convenience, and to forward her efforts
at going on the stage, and to prevent
any future difficulties with her father.
And thus the matter stood at last
