Brought Down the House.

For q certain performance Of an op.
era by Verdi, one Of the sopranos was
to take the role Of page-bOy. She was
rather dlsllked on account Of her bitter
tongue and good opinion Of herself.
There was dress rehearsal In which
she appeared In boys clothes, and, be.
ing In bad temper, insulted the leading
tenor. His wife was present, and being
OF O rather vindictlve turn, resolved up.
on revenge. Her quick eye had found
out that much OF the new page.boy's
shape was artificial, SO she made some
banderillas with colored paper and
long needles, and waited In the wings
during the evening performance. Down
came the page six or seven minutes
before her call; accomplices held her
In conversation while the wife Of the
tenor stuck banderilla into the calf
Of each leg. Needless to say, the
needles penetrated only padding, and
when the young page bounded on to
greet his master-the tenor-with song.
there was such q roar from the house
and such a scene on the stage as are
better imagined than described.
