Tricks on Actors.

Probably as mean trick as has ever
been played on an actor was played on
Tom Keene, in Richard the Third, in
Philadelphia. Tom makes about the
ugliest Richard that ever was, and much
depends upon the hump on his back.
He had been wearing hump consist
ing of an india rubber bag, blowed up
with wind. 1t was light. and made him
look as though he had his back up the
worst way. just as he was going on
the stage one night fellow behind the
scenes ran knife into the bag and let
the wind out, and Tom came on as
straight and handsome man as one
would see in a days journey. He tried
to screw his face up to look like a bad
man from Chicago, but he felt as though
there was something wrong. as the audi
ence laughed, and the people on the
stage with him seemed pleased. Final
ly one of the ladies told him that his
back was as straight as an Indian. He
got off the stage presently and found
that his rubber bag had been trified
with, and he stuffed an old pair of pants
in the place of it, and when he came on
again he had his back up worse than
ever, and the audience cheered him.
until one leg of the pants got loose and
hung down, when they broke him all
up again. Tom now wears an old peach
basket for hump, in that character.
and it gives universal satisfaction

The New Thing In Bangs.


Bangs. it appears, like everything
else in this eccentric world, sometimes
change. Those who have for years and
years seen the same old style of bang
turn up regularly, had begun to feal
that the bang would never change. 1t
was impossible to drive the bang out by
any sort of ridicule, and everybody, ex
cept the girl who wore the bang, knew
perfectly well that ii was an extremely
ugly thing, which no girl, with any TASTE
or sense of beauty, would think OF wear
ing
Still there was something attractive
about the bang. To great many the at
traction was undoubtedly the girl her
self, but to the girl it was something
else. The bang is undeniably handy
thing. 1t is made out of girls own hail
and is cooler and more comfortable a.
warm weather comes on than the store
frizzes which cucumber the fair fore
head; it does not require crimping and
does not get out of shape if one is caught
away from home in damp weather
Little features like these made the
bang handy thing, even though il
could not always be called beautiful
one.
The bang, however, has been greatly
improved and made positively pretty.
Some pretty girls, who understand the
convenience of bangs and were not willing
toput up with the plastered and polished
kind, have made an attractive bang
which the lover or the wind or wet
weather may safely play with. 1t does
not spoil, and the greater its confusion
the lovelier it looks. Other pretty girls
will adopt this style, and we shall have
an abundance of pretty girls with pretty
bangs.
