Oh i,d street where was the object
l !tha greatest curiosity and interest
o. Wv crowds that lowered around al
n. vi DESTROYS of cathing a glimpse
e,s ,ba noted trsgedian, Booth, who was
Y. ,n,lled to put the curtains

nonnced their arrival and returned
with Mr.. Chase, the manager, who
"a brought apologies from the actors
b ttst they were very much fstigued
from their journey. Mr.. Chase
complimelted the appearance of
n tho city and said really if it
had not been tor the superb repute-
i t;on of waco abroad, Mr.. Booth
Nj ,hould certainly never come as the
III ,bester was smaller than any Mr.

a any place, and for this reason he had
N asked that the best seats in the Waco
81 theater be sold at 81 while they sold
II in other Texas cities for So. Mr..
u Chase was then shown the following
n editorial from the Dallas News of
y Sunday:
"a Nessrs Booth and Barrett have come and
q zone. They brought with them their private
Il cor which they left on the railroad track,
q and their good Shakespearear plays, many
q lines Of which were left out in their perform
,pccs This remark is not designed as a
i niece Of leyity 1t is statement of facts
n rlace on the railroad track, but it was not
proper that the student Of Shakespeare should
q pay to hear a continued story and then not
n hear it. Reference is not made to the matt
n nee performance, for it Is a custom, whether
Just to the public or not, to cat the lines of a
Y matinee play. The people received the emf
ucnt tragedians literally in Dallas, but the
II conscieuces of the tragcdians cannot be en-
a tirely at rest in the matter Of their duty to the
q Dallas public
4 And he said "The critic surely
u must understand that no actor plays
4 the lines as they appear in the literary
editions, because certain parts ere
"A impracticable for stage work auC
NJ others too Objectionable. We give
y the pay as ii appears in VIM. Win
4 ters' Prompt Book for most p eces
4 but fer julius Caesar we use Frenchs
edition, aud can assure there is n(
word Of the lines omitted as you may
see by following the text tom orrow
4 evening" The usual small talk fo!
d owed and the interview ended,
