A PERFORMANCE of the tempest" by
marionettes was given lately at the
Sale Vivienna before the leading liter
airy lights of Paris, among them being
Renan, besides all the great critics. The
marionettes were most artistically made
and the mise-en-scene was wonderful.
Coquelin cadet recited a prologue and
spoke for Trinculo, and the other char
acters were spoken for by the poets and
litterateurs of Paris. The performance
was extremely successful.
JOE JEFFERSON, the famous actor, is a
pronounced %spiritualist. He not only
believes firmly in that theory, but has
himself developed marked powers as a
medium, and he is convinced that on
various occasions he has had extended
conversations with the spirits of de-
ceased relatives and friends. He does

FAY TEMPLEToN," said o theatrical
manager, "is the hardest sort of a wo-
man to keep in the harness, for the SIM
Pile reason that she doesn't care a rap
for the stage. She was a child actress,
and became accustomed to flowers and
applause before she was 10 years old.
From that time until she was 10 she wa
continually at work-most of the time
supporting her father-and the stage
got to be a drudge to her instead of a
delight. She is naturally a woman of
rather indolent proclivities, as we al
ways learned when We put a new piece
in rehearsal. 1t was exceedingly diff
cult to get her to pay any attention to
her role until the last moment, then she
would go through it with u saucy andin-
dolent air. She gave promise of being
the first burlesque artist in America q
few years ago."
THE local managers of opera houses
in one-niglt stands are ever ready with
excuses for bad business. No doubt
they think it makes the manager Of the
travelling combination feel better over
a Light house, if they can give some
reason for it. The old-time expressions,

OF IF yon would stay tomorrow night"
and IF you had got here just after pay

Washington, to relate a new one. Away

to a few dollars, and an audience ID i.

company. AT the hotel after the per-
Torrance Mr.. Albaugh Glanced to meet
the landlord, who patronizingly re-
marked: "A nice show You folks gave
tonight" "Yes." answered John, but
this bad weather kept good many
away, / presume" YES, the weather
kept some away; but that wasn't the
reason there We're not more there"
Well. if that was not the reason, what
