sorHERN's LITTLE JOKE
A. vsntrnoquist He Plays Trick -
Hls Partner.

y
His Partner.
One of the peculiarities of Sothern1
elaborated jokes was the way in which
he worked up to them. He pretended
to have discovered accidentally that he
possessed the gift of the born ventrilo-
quist, and arranged an experiment on
the occasion Of a supper party given In
his honor at 4 pleasant house in Lon
don suburb. There was q foolish kind
Of hanger-on of Sothern's who loved
to boast Of his intimacy with the IA
nous comedian. He had often said. II
wish you would let me help you In one
Of your practical Jokes, Mr.. Sothorn."
Sothern humored his desire. Every ons
knows how fond the professional ven-
triloQuist Is of talking up the chimney
to an imaginary man ON the roof. Soth-
ern had arranged for his slavish con-
federate to mount the roof by 4 ladder
and play the part of the voice ON the
roof. which he did to perfection, and
was voted nothing short Of marvellous.
Supper being over, the party adjourned
to another room. at which point Soth-
ern said Good night" to his friend
above when it was arranged that the
seance should be concluded. Sothern.
had. however, plotted against his man.
who found, when he wished to descend.
that the ladder was gone. BY hook or
by crook the deceived confederate
found his way to the chimney Of the
smoking room, where the supper party
were settling down for long evening.
Presently a voice was heard calling
down the chimney, 'Sothsrn! Sothern!
for heavens sake como and help me!
can't get down and it's raining like
mad!" Sothern was taken aback for a
moment, but only to be in sctasies the
next at the ordinations Of his friends,
who considered the voice only another
example of Sothsrn's skill. You said
you could do more. your voice was
tired, and here 1t is stronger than
everw Sothern, accepting the compli-
ments of his friends, managed in a
short conversation with the voice on
the roof to let his happy confederate
understand that as soon as possible he

about to slip out and release his friend.

the more emphasize Sothsrn's success.

MEMORIAL SERVICE

One Of the most serious difficulties
that confronts the young actor is the
'making-up" for a character that he
Is to produce. Richard Mansfield is
known as one of the greatest artists in
this line on the American stage, and
II is even said that he will allow no one
except his dresser in his dressing room
when getting ready for the stage.
James O'Neill who is appearing this
season in Liebler e Co.'S colossal
scenic production of Monte Cristo is
also an adept in this line. In the first
act of the play he appears as DASH
ing sailor, as an impetuous lover, and
youth is written all over his physiog-
nomy. He is next seen after II years
nave elapsed, and the changes wrought
by time are at once apparent Next
he appears as the Able Bucony, and
finally as the Count of Monte Cristo,
the arbiter elegantorium. All the
minute changes in appearance caused
by suffering and privation are sug-
gested. Mr.. O'Neill, supported by an
all-star cast, viii appear at the Wor-
cester Theatre in Monte Cristo for
three performances, Friday and Satur-
day.
