Stage Tragedies.

One Of the dramatic little stories Of
Mr.. F. Frankfort Moore, the London
novelist, turns on the actual stabbing of
a Juliet by q jealous Romeo during q
performance in German court theater.
Such tragic incidents have not infre-
quently occurred in the annals Of opera
and playhouse. In our own city's chief
lyric theater last season we had what
seemed the lively comedy of an actor
something leading up to his sudden
death, when the unfortunate Castle
mary, as Sir Tristan Mickleford, was
pursued by the crowd Of Richmondfair
folk in martha. There are at least q
dozen we'll attested suicides that have
been consummated by luckless actors or
singers under cover of the tragic move
ment of their part. A more recent ex,
ample occurred at the theater In Arad,
Hungary, when well known leading
member Of the company, Koloman Bal
Ia, put real and loaded revolver to his
forehead in concluding the last act OF
the nights drama. He fell dead, amid
an immense demonstration of applause
from a crowded house quite unaware OF
the reality of the actors emotion and
gestures. He was man of excellent
family and bright in professional pros
poets, disappointed in love, morbid,
and, as he grimly wrote to a friend,
determined to end his days as an actor
ought to do-to the satisfaction Of his
public. "--Harper's Weekly
