him from the rack should trip and not
reach him in time he would simply
roll over and 50 escape the nun
d6TOus teeth Of the saw. Remember, the
man is III full possession Of his senses aud
would be a fool 10 lie there and be sawed.
OF course lie seems unconscious, and that IS
why the audience is so thrilled By the
scene, 1t would disturb the artistic effect
TO have him roll over, but | think the man-
agement could forgive him, for 1t isn't set
down IN the contract that he shall allow the
play TO proceed naturally II the young
woman who bursts open the door isn't on
time.

vance 10 prevent an accident One night
