Olive Logan Relates Some Experience
with the Great Tragedian.
Olive Logan, in her racy volume con-
corning women and theaters, recalls
some incidents in the career of the eld-
er Booth.
strangely enough" says the observ-
ant Olive, ''Mr. Booths artistic powers
were as strong when he was intoxicated
as when he vas quite sober. Many
aver that his sober Richard was a tame
and puerile thing compared to the noisy
Richard of perhaps of hundred cups.
when | was little girl Booth was
once playing in conjunction with my
sister in Memphis, and she sent me one
night to deliver some message to him
on the stage.
1.-The curtain had not yet risen, but
found Mr.. Booth standing at the back
of the stage, inside the tomb of the
Capulets, for then once unoccupied by
any defunct member of that illustriolls
house.

cred my message; whereupon, starting
NJ with the graceful spring of tiger
disturbed, he Kissed out:
"Avauntl and quit my sight, Let the earth
hide theel

cold;

members the terrible intensity of his
voice, the wonderful crescendo which he
placed on the word gta-d-G-rei in this
sentence will not be surprised to learn
that weak, sickly little girl should
have % pied straight over in dead
swoon at hearing it so unexpectedly
and unjustly addressed to herself in the
semi-darkness of the Capulet tomb.
1T is needless 20 say that the great
tragedian was intoxicated.

by playing so well that the audience
would tear the house down in their en-
thusiasm.

The piece was The Apostate,' and on
this occasion formed one of the audi

with applause, exclaims: who now

The History of Football.

The game of football was known in
England prior to IT'S, but it was never
regarded with favor by the law, and in
the reign OF Edward III. 1855 an act
was passed forbidding it During the
reign of Richard II. (13ss) similar law
was enacted. and again, under the
Scotch Kings, James /. (1424) and III.
I457), it was ''decreeted and ordained
that the foote-bail and collie be utterly
cryed down and not to be used" In
l471 James I'LL, and in 1891 James w..
passed similar statutes. James /. of
England also opposed it in his ''Basili-
kon Doron.n He writes: From this
court | debarre all rough and violent
exercise, as the football, meeter for
iar1eing than making able the users
thereof" And in the reign of Eliza
beth, his predecessor, a true bill was
found against sixteen persons for play
