The reigning attraction at the Madi-

At the beginning it may be as well to
ly that it is the best entertainment of

STORIES OF THE STAGE.
New York, February 4.

Il once witnessed an absurd acct
| dent" said E. S. Willard, the actor,
which ruined an act and generally
prejudiced not only the drama, but the
lUckless persons connected with it. In
the play there was a sensational scene
in which the bursting of a dam afford
ed the hero a fine opportunity for
| melO-dramatic action. The scene, with
real water effects, was c0nspiCuously
built un at the back CT the stage
Imagine the effect upon an audience
worked Up to the highest pitch by
sundry heaves of the canvas, showing
the impending catastrophe, when, on
the wild exclamation Of the hero,
Great heavens, the food is on u.s.
the very unrCmantic squirting of a
stopped up tap was heard and a tiny
stream was seen trickling toward the
footlights! The derision Of the spec
tators stimulated the hero of the play
| to rectify the tap, which retaiiated by
directing a tolerably strong jet into
his face. Discounted and moist, he
rushed from the stage. leaving the
heroine to struggle with the food to
the wings, amid tie shouts Of the au-
dience.
he play uAdlly SOAC4uUSu lie
soliloauy of an attorney was inter
rupted by a particularly brilliant dis
play of the whole system of fountains
deluging the stage and orchestra. The
wrong cue had been taken. The whole
thing was so ludicrous that the
greater portion Of the audience left,
exhausted by laughter"
Miss Isabel Irving's mother died re-
Gently. Just before her death she told
her daughter her last wish was that
her death should not interfere with Miss
Irving's theatrical engagements. The
daughter, heartbrOken though she was,
promised that her mothers dying wish
should be observed.
So we'll did Miss Irving keep her word
that on the afternoon of the day on
which her mother died she played her
part in THE Liars at the Empire, New
York
There was not one before or behind
the footlights who knew the laughing
captivating irresponsible Lady Jessica
Nepon had just lost her mother. In
the evening she played again. The
next day her mother was buried. When
the sad news was made public Miss r.
Wings understudy came prepared to
take her part.
Miss Irving will play tonight said
the stage manager, and the actress re-
deemed the promise made to her dying
mother.
1t is related that on the first night
of THE School For Scandal" when it
was produced in Drury Lane Theatre,
London, nearly a century and a quarter
ago, Cumberland, an inconseauential
rival of Richard Brinsley Sheridan,
came to the performance and brought
mis- small children with him.
They screamed with delight He
pinched them. What are you laugh
ing at, my angels? There is nothing
to laugh at" And he continued in an
undertone, Keep still, you little
ounces" When this was repeated to
Sheridan, he is reported TO have said:
''Devilish ungrateful, that, for I sat
out his tragedy last week and laughed
from beginning to end"
