Two Stories Of the Reason why the Opera
House Was DARK on Monday Night.

Two Stories Of the Reason why the Opera
House Was Dark on Monday Night.
There are two stories concerning the
reason by Kellsr, the magician. did not
give his performance al the Opera House
on Monday evening. -0ne is that the
breaking Of the machinery at the electric
light wol ks caused such dim light that it
was impossible to proceed.
The other story Is more sensational Ii
is that Kellar and his wife. Eva L KEEL
lar, had a quarrel at Boers's hotel No
sl9 Market street. early in the svening
and that Mrs Kellar struck her husband
with some article on the head aud locked
him out of the room That she after
wards left the hotel and, in the course Of
the early evening became intoxi-
Gated, after having declined 10
assist at the evening performance
Mrs hellaT is an important factor In the
entertainment, II not the entertainment
itself, and the story has II that IL would
be impossible for the show to 30 on with
out her The relator Of the story says
thst he magic an was hunting his wife
a. 30 O'clock. night, and that at 8
O'Clock be found her in front Of the Opera
house In care Of an attachee OF the
theatre Mr. and Mrs Kellar are said
10 have made up wben they met and de.
parted from here together
This story has another side. Manager
Williamson OF the Opera House saws
that the only cause Of the non-perform-
ance was the absence If light. He
declares that there was no quarrel
between Mr.. and Mrs. KellaF, but that
she had been taking medicine for an
internal trouble, that the medicine con
tanned brandy and that she had drunk
the entire contents Of the bot tie in which
II was and was thereby intoxicated
This would have had no eject on the
performance, bee ,use Ksllar had sent for
his old assistant who lived IN Philsdel
phia, and the show would have gone on
as usuai Mrs Kellar was on the stage
when kellar appeared before the
audience and there was no trouble what.
