The Grand people say there is absolute

Bill Nye wrote the following to a st.
Louis paper whose critique didn't just
suit him:
In your notice you speak highly OF the
character of the entertainment from all III
tellectuai standpoint, but you do not speak
of our stage presence, several of which we
receive during the evening sometimes.
Neither is any mention made of our upper
register, with which we warm up the house.
lam most panied to notice that the COM
ment, which is so tlattering, and yet SO all
fired just does not speak Of our neat new
clothes or trim and shapely stage limbs.
Each of us have set of stage limbs which
attract general attention wherever we so.
Mine, | think, are more symmetrical since
one of them was broken. Mr.. Riley, uufortun-
Sicily, has never broken either of his legs and
so people do not come so far to see them Oh
the stage as they would otherwise.
The artist has always been very kind to US,
hut in this matter he generally overlooks our
stage stride and exit. ! have a style of exit
which is apt to haunt man after he has seen
it once, and the way get off stage has
called forth great deal of adverse criticism,
and yet l never left the stage that ii did not
please the audience. Ny style of getting off
the stage was acquired i'll Leadyille i'll IA,
when man in Buclskin gulch shot at me
for not getting off the stage at the same time
the other passengers Gid. That has given
me shrinking style of exit which l can
never wholly overcome. Young people who
laugh at the way ooze out on a stage and
abscond from,it should not forget that they
may have to do it some day themselves. None
OF US know how soon he may have to stand
On brilliantly lighted stage and be pelted
with bouquets and other farm products.
