VIII, VIII remember the closing scene in the
play where Uncle Nat goes through inc
house, locking the doors and after putting
out the lamps picks up his candle and
slowly mounts the stairs on his way to
bed. one night as Mr. Herne was going
through this pantomime and had lust
reached the top of the stairs a man in the
balcony shouted out: Good night Uncle
Nat That shout spoiled one of the pret-
dividual ruined one Of the scenes in The,
Head of the Family" in New York the
other night and caused CONSIDERATION which
was followed by much laughter During
the early acts of the play. Crane. as Prof.
Holden allows his wife to beat him and
order him around as she pIeases. Sna
rules the mild-mannered little man with
an iron rod and he meekly submits un,iJ
in the last act he is made aware thai he
mas done wrong in allowing her to have her
way IN all things. and thereby almost ruin
Ine happiness OF his children. Then he
turns on her, Gusts her from her seat OF
authority and becomes the head Of the
family. On this particular night the house
was crowded, and the play had proceeded
up 70 the point where the professor turned
on his wife. Just Crane began his lines

house arose and shaking his fist in the air
shouted: Give 1T to her, professor; give IL
to her good: she deserves it, Every one
turned to see the speaker. and the scene
went for nothing, the mans remarks caus-
Ing establishment and then laughter.
After the performance the business man.
aeer of the company remarked to the come
dian that II was too bad the excited ind.-
vfdual had spoiled his scene.

'but don't you know he made me very
happy. 1t was too bad he marred the pleas
ure of others. but he paid me very great
compiiment, a great compliment. even if
he did 1t in an unfortunate way"
