The performance did not run ye-v
smoothly, owing u tho orchestra. which
was local affair. In one place the per
I0rmer Is quite dependent on the orches-
rrt Tor his cue, as the whole thing moves
along with tie music. Itisa part of the
programme called Black ART. wherein
yariOos skeletons come out az their damp,
lll ventilated graves az = late hour OF the
night and dance the h0rnpipo or remove
theIr skulls and blow the dust out OF

while. Hermann hal eodeavored to i'm
press upon mm that t4- @e1bers Of the
orchestra must pay sc.lc, attention TO
their business. for hs depended on the
music.
When 1t got 70 this part Of the pro-
Sramno the magician discovered that
tho leader had loaded MS etruscan law
with giant Jag Of tutti frutti gum and
was -eenly enjoying the show. Herr
mann mOtiOned him 10 60 on with the
music. and ne spread out his wings as
signal for the orchestra 20 sail In. AS one
ghastly gentleman after another got out
ot his lnalarial grave and shook out the
Kinks IN his skeleton, the orchestra be
gan % play more and more piano. The
man wno administers the clanonet 10
himself every evening swallowed the
hrst joint Of his instrument, and then
seemed 20 freeze with horror at the pict-
ure Ca the stage. All AZ once slim little
ghost crawled ont e his grave, and tax
ing ont carpet tack which had been in
tho bottom of his coffin no doubt for
years and labbing him in the back, he
seemed - breathe 4 sigh oe relief. and
turning a hand spring lit on the top Of "a
tel monument worth $3.50.
Then the man who plays the adjust
able brass pulled the instrument out 10
rs fullest extent and forgot 10 put L
back again. More and more the or
chestra seemed % get Interested in the
show and less IN its muse. The drum
mer made q fox pass, as the French say,
and then paused with an unborn note
stiL trembling on his lips Finally as the
yaastIy turnfest went on, the orchestra

Then Professor Hermann came out on /
