HE PLAYED.


How y Disgrntt tied Actor Got Even with
the Great Hamlet.
Edwin Booth, despite his reputation
for being cold and unapproachable, has
humorous side and can tell funny
story, even when it's on himself. with a
solemnity that is refreshing.
A member of the tragedans company
relates The following: HE once told me
about western experience of his in the
ffties. Booth was then the star of II
certain stock company playing the Cali
fornia towns. 1t was rough out there
then, and the same company did every
thing from Hamlet to a song and dance
all at the same theater and often with
in the same week.
I'm this company there was young
man of much histrionic talent, who, pre-
vious to the advent of Booth, played the
leading roles, but who was thrown into
the shade by the new star. Jealousy and
hot words followed. The manager and
the disappointed traGedian were centin-
ually at war over the distribution of
parts.
when the time for producing Ham
let arrived it was found that the cast
would necessarily muster into act every
one from the ticket seller to the lamp
man. The long suffering manager had
resolved to punish the recalcitrant actor,
and he was given the part of Guilden-
stern.
There was some muttering, but all
went well enough until the opening
night. The house was filled. The
scenery was crude and for that matter
so was the audience, but the applause
was generous, Things reached climax
in the second scene of the third act,
where Rosencranz and Guildenstern are
sent by the king to spy on the alleged
madness of Hamlet.
THE usual futile endeavors to get any
information out of the melancholy Dane
were gone through with and then, Of
course, came Booths powerful scene in
which the musical instrument is intro
duced (the pipe on this occasion being
clumsy tin affair, painted to suit the
aesthetic soul of the property MANI.
THE audience listened in breathless
expectation, and the dialogue proceeded
as follows:
Hamlet-Will you play upon this
pipe?
enthusiastically lord, cannot
HI pray you.
Ct Believe me, cannot.
And here the proud Dane lifted him
self erect, preparatory to hurting at
Guildenstern that crescendo Of mingled
rage and scorn which begins with 'Tis
as easy as lying, etc. But the crescendo
never came.
"Hamlet--l do beseech you.
Guildenstern-Then / don't mind if
do.
"And seizing the obstreperous horn, he
broke forth into weird, unearthly strain
Of Yankee Doodle and what-not.
81 stood there dazed,' said Booth,
for it seemed to me hours, trying to con-
meet the lines or collect my thoughts so
as to go on, but it was of no use, for the
fend with the horn kept right on with
his refined torture, until at last, in sheer
mercy, the curtain went down to rise no
more that night.

but he had had his revenge. New

will make no mistake in giving Gov. Bur

is clean, able, industrit us man and even
his most obdurate political opponents can
not charge that he has ever been load
upon his party. His candidates. thus far
have been exceptionally popular ones.
They have been accompanied by over
whelming majorities and very genera

good Governor and would make n goot
Congressman. We hope he will be nomi
mated. With him as leader the party
would be assured a splendid victory.
