A Gh..tly Joke in p.n.om,m..


Ono one occasion o wag played a too sue
eessful trick ON Rich rthe founder Of ENGLISH
pantomime) and his demons In one of his
earliest pantonimes at Lincoln's Inn Fields
he introduced a dance Of Intervals with
twelve performers, got up in a style outher-
oding Milton. They were dressed in black
and red OF the most lurid hues. Their ewes
were OF fire and snaky locks fell over their
shoulders. An actor wishing to friehten
them got spare dress, and making himself a
few degrees more demoniac looking than the
regular demons, he one night slipped in
among them. They soon perceived that there
was devil too many, and there could only
be one thought az to where he had come
from
The mock demons rushed from the stage,
and some Of them did not wait to throw of
their dresses, but fed through the streets
homeward, spreading the alarm that some
thing terrible had happened. The panic
spread to the audience, which dispersed in
wild confusion, and the event was soon orna-
mented with all the Imaginative details that
Tear, and, IN some cases, mischief, could sug-
gest The demons appearance was painted
In the most appalling colors, and many were
prepared to take oath that they had seen him
fly through the roof. Thousands Of people
surrounded the theatre next day, and waas
pointed out to them the bit Of the wall thai
the devil had knocked down with swish Of
has taii and which had been repaired during
the night. The manager published explans-
