why He Quit the Stage.

There is in Philadelphia a man who
abandoned the theatrical profession be-
cause he could not life Fanny Daven-
port. He was a membe Of n of the
local stock about 20 years
ago. when Miss Davenport came to
Philadelphia with one of the men of her
company sick. She applied to the
manager Of the theater in which the
young man referred to was employed,
for someone to take the sick mans
place, n as the young actor was not
in h cast of the play then running
his services were loaned to Miss Dav-
export. He was cast for the part OF
Caius Lucius in "Cymbeline." and the
business of the part required that he
should take Miss Davenport In his
arms and carry her off the stage. The
lady weighed considerable more than
he did. and when he attempted to pick
her up he found that his strength was
not equal to the task. His struggles
caused the audience to laugh. n that
spoiled a good scene. He was so hu-
inflated that he left the profession
after that engagement.
