There 10 one man in Kansas City who will
never again be so anxious to get out of a thea

This man was at the matinee at the Grand yes
terday afternoon. and when he had stood on one
foot for twenty minutes, with the other foot
securely fastened in the seat upon which he had
stepped in his wild desire to get out ahead Of
the man in front of him, he made a mental re-
solve that the next time he would abide his
time. 1t required the combined efforts of twelve
mon. including Stage Carpenter Lyman, who
acted as foreman, to extricate the rash indi.
vidual, and a hammer, a saw. and "A screwdriver

The too.rapid man had started out while
wearing an ,overcoat.. He found the coat too
heavy and slipped out of 1t. He then began TO
notice that 1t was warm in the theatre. He took
off his hat. Next he unbuttoned his vest. and
began to prespire at a faster rate than ever.

shoe and foot were there together, and there
was no freeing one without the other. Finally,
a member Of the orchestra, after passing an ex.

Lyman took one look at the seat. and disap.
peared in search of tools. With a small SAW he
cut away the footboard at the hack OF the seat,
but oven after a good deal of eNcayating 1t was
found that the shoe and foot declined to be moved.
Lyman made another sortie to the region behind
the curtain, and secured a screwdriver. Then
