Miss Hall Is evidsInt-y becoming child

.Summeus and numerous W.neers and
hard Falls uhat have passed over the
actress head have begun to ten on
HER disposition, and She is inclined to
be peevish and Mountaineering. 1t rs said
THAT upon being Escorted TO the Acad-
eny elhe Declared THAT THAT was not
THE house lin which SHE was engaged to
perform, and at first rsfused to gal
on with her part Of the show, but was
finally persuaded TO accept the situa-
tion. Then her trunks went astray,
whioh only added to her sweetness of
temper, and it was only after a most
diligent search rn the part Of some
dozen porters and hotel men that they
were located.
A STAG AUDIENCE.
To add to Miss Paullne's troubles
she found that when she appeared be-
fore the footlights she was facing an
audience entirely made up of the male
sex. Now. as a general rule, the actness
has no fear of the eterner sex, but on
this OCCASION it seemed to ANNOY her
that no women had gathered to hear
her sing.
After sine had sung the first verse of
her selection a disturbance anose in the
gallery. "A man who had more brains
THAN money, and who desired 10 ascer-
tain whether "cuow's-feet" were tnace-
able ON MISS Halls countenaince, had
secured a seat I'M THE balcony and,
armdd with a telescope, had IT leveled
at the singer. Whether the sight of
the spg-g.ass maddened the actress, on
wlhather ehe mistook lt for THE mouth
OF Spanish gun, is not known, but
at ala events the laughter created by
this panty caused Miss Hal TO cease
wanblfng and announce I'M tones trem-
bling with anger that unless THE noise
lcsased she would mot go ON with heI
part. SHE them walked off the stage
with h5r song unfinished. She, how
ever, came back and sang two more sa
lections, which fell as a sort Of frcsi
upon THE audience.
JEALOUS OF MOORE.
Miss HAIL had been preceded in hel
turn by Raymon Moore, ,hnd THE ovat.oI
ha received grated ksenIy on her SSH
sitive nerves, and she felt as one doe
sltive NERVES. SHE felt as one doe
who suddenly has a bucket Of ice waite
Jhuown down her back, clear to he
dainuy Ileet, and when Moore .elt TIN
stage The emiraged actress tackled min
AMID stated that she could not mnder
stand how man could so please
stag audience when a woman fafied
That She did mot care for the house

Of his houlders, made no reply and wa
lost to sight in the depths Of his dress
