Petty nIeannesses of Actors

Actors and actresses are very much

spites know OF case which happened
in London theatre not many weeks ago,
in which one actor-of rank in the pro-
fession-had to receive something from a
young player on the stage. For some
reason or other he did not like the young
man. and determined to bother him, SO in
stead of taking the article rendered he
fell down as if in fit. leaving the young
fellow without any cue to go on with or
any means Of exit.
Some years ago very celebrated actress
used habitually to annoy well knc wn
actor with whom she played 'Is it -le
case" asked the actor Of her one
day, Miss -. that whenever I
have to say my lines in the third act. you
cough as violently as you can to drown
my voiceT Yes. Mr. -" was the re-
ply; Il think. do you know, that your
voice is better when it is drowned" That
same lady once played terrible trick
upon the actor Knowing he was ner,
vous, she gave him. as Portia, a ring,
which he. as Bassania, was unable to get
on his finger. and SO put him out that he
nearly broke down altogether.
But lately an actor told NE himself that
so greatly did he dislike playing with a
lady who was in the same cast with him
that he frequently put chairs. stools and
tables in her way purposely on the stage,
SO that she could not make her accus-
toned FISHES over the boards without a
risk of tunbling Oh. yes, there ara
