to play speaking parts
He importuned the stage manager so
often and was SO persistent that, in
order to get rid of him. the stage man.

page in "Richelieu," where no would
have one line to speak. He was to enter
ahead Of Richelieu and announce to the
king, His eminence, the Cardinal
Duke de Richelieu.
The captain of supers was q son of old
Erin and had broad rich brogue. The
piece was not to be played until the
last night of the engagement, and every
evening Pat could be found walking up
and down behind the scenes studying
his part The stage manager became
nervous, and calling Pat to him asked
him to forego his debut, as he was posi-
tive that Pat would fluke. Pat was con-
fident but the other had his doubts, and
after long argument the stage mana
ger offered to bet Pat the oysters that
he would not speak the lines properly.

of the performance arrived.
Pat was dressed as befitted the part,
and as the moment drew nigh for him
to make his entrance he grew nervous.
Barrett stood in the wings waiting for
the announcement, and Pats cue was
given. The doughty Milesian was al
most paralyzed with stage fright. Some
one pushed him onto the stage, and he
went directly toward the footlights and
faced the audience. He tried to speak,
but his tongue Glove to the roof of his
mouth.
