had the funniest trick played on us we
ever struck. We saw the play, and of
course we clapped as hard as we could
at the boxing part. Then one Of the
ushers came up and said confidentially
that by paying 10 cents extra we could
go round to the back and see some
more boxing We jumped at the chance
and went round behind the scenes. No
sooner had we got there than some one
called out: More supes. More supes for

and said. You go on and supe for the
scene, and well refund your money
We were ticklcd to death, being hard
IN. so on we went After the scene
there was an awful confusion, and we
were hustled out somehow. We tried
