out OF school. That was in 1866 although
nothing of Importance could have been put

did not last long, and 1 soon found myself
in the theatre. doing musical work from
the start. In the year 1870 made my pri-
mary appearance in comic opsra, playing
with a stock company at Lees Opera

principal comedian. This big three" al
ways headed resident organizations, but
the task was not invariably an easy one
for the laugh prOvoker, who had as rival
local man at whom audiences would go
into ecstacies of mirth on the slightest
provocation.
According to Mr.. Murray. after weeks of
thought, one of these unfortunates per-
fected a trick with which he expected to
quietly capture honors from the regularly
employed comedian. He went on every
night packed in dozen waistcoats and, in
a most serious scene. proceeded to remove
these one by one and to throw them upon
the stage. The plan was successful and
never failed to bring down the house.
But one evening in Cleveland the come
dian. whose name was Adams, got into
difficulties. He had worked up his sit
uation to the necessary height and then
began removing his superfiuous garments.
The crowd was due 10 laugh at the third,
but it didn't. Mr.. Adams faced it and tried
his best to be funny. Then he got rid OF
fourth vest. There was seconds wait,
and the audience howled. The entertain
er was gratifed. but puzzled. He had
never heard gathering delay its outburst
so long. The experience was repeated at
the fifth wastcoat and at the sixth and
seventh Mr.. Adams determined that
either he or his house was crazy. Then he
shed his last bit of property" attire and
turned to leave the stage. He was sud
denly enlightened. The stock comedian
was behind him, fully clothed in the dis
carded garments He had put on every
single ''dud" as 1t was thrown of. The
affair was afterward settled over a friend
ly glass. but thereafter Mr. Murray de-
clares that when the inventor of the trick
dsrobed he pitched his clothing into the
footlight trough directly in front OF him.

COMING EVENTS.

Several famous Irish ballads and we'll
known humorous songs are introduced in
Wilton Lackayes production of Charles
O'MaIley" which will be seen next week
at the National Theatre. For the proper
rendering of these an excellent quartette
has been engaged, while Madge Duffea,
celebrated player on her instrument. will
contribute several harp solos. Thus 1t
would seem that the music incidental to
the performance of Theodore Burt Sayre's
play will be given as properly as the piece
itself is sure to be in the hands of the
people who compose the presenting COM
pany.
