They Helped to Puzzle u Scotch Cler-
gyman.
Some time ago. when Henry Irving
was in Edinburgh Il Scotch clergyman
came and informed him that he was to
attend the theater that week for the
first time in his life, to see one Of the
Lyceum productions.
Irving felt duly fattered, and so ex-
pressed himself; but the divine, after
certain amount Of stammering, con-
fessed that he did not wish to see q
play in which there was ballet.
Irving, greatly puzzled, informed him
that there was no dancing in the plays
he was then producing, but that, ac-
cording to the slang Of the ''profes-
sion," the supernumeraries Of both
sexes We're technically called "the bal
let" and hence probably arose the
visitors mistake.
The worthy mans face beamed, says
the San Francisco Argonaut, and he
took an affectionate leave Of his host;
but at the door he was seized with
misgivings and suddenly demanded,
point.blank:
1T there is no ballet, Mr.. Irving,
why do people talk 80 much about
your legs?"
Irvipg's answer has not been chron.
icled.
