Many amusing incidents ars recorded
OF tho laughabls blunders caused by

Of George Powell, an old English actor,
who was among the GREAT mon of tho
stage in 1900. Tho play was Rowe's

gallant. gay Lothari,. 40 slain at tho close
of the fourth act, but his corpse figures
prominently in the concluding scene.
The stage directions provide for n room
hung with black, with Lothario's body
upon bier standing on one side of the
stage, on tho other side table with q
skull, book and lamp. Calista Is discov-
cred on a couch in the back. In this, as
in similar cases, it was clearly unneces-
sary for tho impersonator of the lively
Lothario of the fourth act to represent
his dead body in tho fifth. It was usual,
therefore, to allow tho actors dresser to
perform this delightful duty. Now, Mr..
Powells dresser was o rather timid
young man by tho name Of Warren, and
on the occasion recorded was lying on
the bier waiting for the curtain to 20
down on the fifth act.
Powell, forgetful that his attendant
was employed in irnpersonating tho
corpse of Lothario, was impatient to be
gone and called loudly for his dresser.
He was very passionate man and when
enraged quite violent. He opened his
door and called for Warren and threat
ened him with the severest of punish
ments if he did not Immediately come to
his assistance.
The unhappy dresser could not help
overhearing his raging master, yet for
some time his fears were surmounted by
his sense of dramatic propriety. He
tremblingly longod for the fall of the
curtain. Powell threatened to break
every bone in his skin, which threat he,
in his dresser's opinion, was u man quite
likely to carry out. The situation finally
became unbearable, and, with cry
"Here lam, MASTER" Warren sprang up.

laughter as the dead Lothario, encum-
