OTIS Harlan has been identified with

the profession. But Otis once essayed le-
g!tlmate comedy, II We may believe the
Chicago Journal, and did not score be-
w,ldering success. 1t was at savannah,
Ga. during the summer season, and 'Ju-
lius Caesar" was the play. when the stage
manager handed HIM the part OF First Ro-
man Citizen. Harlan glanced at II and con-
temptuously returned II. saying that he
had been engaged to play comedy parts.
He laid particular stress on the word
comedy. 1T is u comedy part" said the
stage manager Il don't see where the
comedy comes ill.," replied Harlan. You
are supposed to make the part funny" re-
joined the stage manager. "Oh. am. am
l? All right" And forthwith Harlan be-
gan to cudgel his brain, wondering how he
could make the First Roman Citizen in

when Harlan made his entrance Rrutus
demanded In stentorian tones. what
would'st thou. most noble c!tiZen?" "A
chord in c." replied Harlan and the ac-
commodating leader struck the chord. To
the horror of the admirers OF the Bard of
Avon the First Roman Citizen started TO

had to respond to seven encores. 1t Is
needless to say that Mr.. Harlan did not
