AND THE BAND PLAYED!
Precipitate Retirement of an Actor
at the National Theater.

An amusing incident occurred at the
matinee performance in the National
Theater on Saturday afternoon.
The management is overwhelmed with
offers Of assistance from amateur actors
who believe themselves possessed OF
special talents for the stage, and who
only lack an opportunity to gain reputa-
ton. An ambitious young man named
Harry Wade has been particularly anxious
to carve his way to fame in this manner,
and finally, wearied of his opportunities,
he was asked what he could do.
"Oh, l can recite pretty WELL" he said,
modestly.
what can you recite?"
"My best piece is the Charge of the
Light Brigade.
So it came about that Wade's recitation
was billed as a special attraction. When
his turn on the programme came he
stepped to tie footlights and began his
performance. As he finished the words,
cannon 10 right Of them, cannon to left
of them. voleyed and Numbered" there
was such terrific explosion that his voice
was entirely drowned All the attaches
of the theater were gathered in the wings,
and then pistols were fired, torpedos were
exploded, tin pans banged. soda-bottles
popped, stage thunder was manufactured
and every artifce employed that would
produce noise.
| Forgetting the historical example of his
heroes. the elocutionist rushed away from
the Jaws of death and galloped behind the
scenes. The practical illustration of his
recitation was too much for him and he
disappeared amidst general hiiarity.
