Some Unexpected Stage Business.

FROM tue Detroit Free Press
When "Never too Late to Mend" was produced
at Booths Theater, Just before 1t was torn down,
an amusing incident occurred The first act OF
the play is barn-yard scene, and to give 1t o
realistic effect calf and a number Of chickens
were introduced. Among the chickens were TWO
ROSTERS. quantity OF corn had been thrown on
the stage to interest them until they became &C.
customed to the novel situation. on the opening
night all went well until toward the end or the
act where the hero takes leave OF the farmers
daughter. The scene Is OF the pathetic order and
the house was absorbed in 1t, when suddenly the
two ROSTERS caused diversion by attempting to
settle dispute then and there. They were both
approved style. or course the scene in the play
proper had to step down and out until the sorrow
ing hero could drive the beligeIent game-cocks
from the stage, which he did amidst cheers OF
portion OF the audience and demand from the
gallery that he let the birds hight to a finish.
After that 1t was Impossible to gain attention
Tor the remainder OF the act and the curtain went
down on distresstngly lame climax.
The prOperty-man OF the theater who had
obtained the olive stock" was naturally much dis
turbed at the contretemps and dOubly so when
the formidable John Stetson, then manager OF the
theater, came behind the scenes. The property
man approached him with fear and trembling,
and before Stetson could say anything began TO
apologize.
"pm awfully sorry this thing happened, Mr..
StetSon he SAID but IL is not my fault; couldn't
tell that them there BOOSTERS wOlld tight like that
and I'll wiring their cussed necks as soOns this
mere performance Is over"
contrary TO the unhappy mans expectation,
"Wring their necks! You be hangedy he roared.
"Buy gold cage for 'em. They've made the hit
OF the piece"
