Bootb,s uIndispos!tfon" on the
Stage.
NEW YORK. April 29.-The second per-
Torrance OF Othello, with Salvini and
Booth in the principal roles, at the Acsd-
envy Of Music, las. night, WAS anything
but q grea. presentation, owing to the un-
fortunate condition Of the American actor.
From the very first Booth appeared to be
in very poor form. His reading OF the
lines was uneven, and there were instances
| where he lost the thread of his lines. As
| the play continued his walk was upgrsce-
| full and positively unsteady. 1t was not.
| however, until the third act il the great
scene with Othello that the growing sppre-
hension of the audience was completely
confirmed. After Othello (Salvini) had
thrown "Iago" TO the ground in his
| bursts of wrath, he assisted Booth to his
feet again without disturbing the appsr-
| eutly natural course of the act. As Booth
regained his feet Sslvini let go his hold,
and the American actor lost his balance
and staggered backward and squstted
down at the footlight rail. A few of the
audience nearest the stage jumped forward,
az il seemed the actor was about TO fall into
the orchestra. He recovered his self.pos'
session wonderfully and continued through
out the act. His conduct called forth
some Kissing, but the audience pitied him
and seemed to extend their sympathy by
encoring him rs usual. His entrances
from this we're tinid. and made with per-
ceptible hesitation. His great scene,
where Roderigo is killed, was played with
great force, and he was warmly called be-
fore the curtain. He seemed TO have re-
coved again, but in the last act he weak
eRed, and his closing scene was extremely
weak, and with his hands tied behind his
back his condition was too painfully ap-
parent to even ordinary observers.
LATER-The actors OF the Salvini-Booth
com bination. who were assembled at the
Academy of Music for the mornings re-
hearsal. discussed with much interest
Booths sudden manifestation Of dizziness
last evening. Booth reached the Acad-
eav q few minutes after IL o'clock. He
said he had been affected with an attack OF
vertigo. "Similsr attacks have troubled
me often before" he added as he passed
on: Yesterday it was caused, l think,
DY q BILIOUS attdck.
