NOT on THE BILLS.
A Little Drama Behind the Scenes at the
the Academy of Music.

the Academy OF NJ usics
There was a little drama enacted on the
Academy stage last night that was not
on the bill, which resulted in a change in
the cast of ''rhe Royal Secret"
Miss Fanny Mcintyre, the leading lady,
who has been with the company since II
took to the road, about month ago, ana
Mr. Wilton Lackaye, the star, have been
unable to agree upon certain matters IN
reference TO the relative positions tney
hold in the public's estimation. MISS NC
Intyre says IL Is a case of Jealousy and
that when the audience demand cur
tain call" Mr.. Lackaye takes II all 10
himself. instead OF sharing II with neI, as
the audience desires.
She said. In an interview with Times
reporter last night. that she found mat
tiers with Mr. Lackaye so unpleasant that
she gave him the regular tw0-weeks no
tice some days ago, but on going 10 the
Academy last night some unpleasant
words were INDUCED IN, and she then ana
there left the house, leaving the part
which she has been playing for her under
study. Miss Mcintyre was quite pros
trated, but said she would leave for New
York this morning.
Mr.. Lackaye said that Miss Mcintyre
came TO the Academy last night as Though
she intended to go on with her part, but
al the last moment she threw up the
sponge and told him TO 30 ahead with his
shOW il he could and then walked out.
Mr. Dnckaye further said that Miss Nc
lntyfe was Jealous and that she had given
her two-weeks' notice which ended next
Friday, but that she thought the under
study was unable TO play the part on
short notice, and IL was her idea TO en-
barrass the performance.
Miss Griffin was also seen by the Times
reporter and she said that she was a
little nervous al first, never having played
the part before, but that IL came TO her
all right, as she warmed up.
The fact was that very few people In
the audience last night recognized that
an understudy was playing the leading
female part, for. aside from few slight
hesitations and one or two repetitiOns,
she held her own very well.
