SOME STAGE BREAKS.
How Some Scene Wrecks Have Been
Averted by Amateurs.

The slip in the scenery during the
has reminded one amateur actor of
much experience of some of the breaks
he has witnessed on the stage. In one
play being staged by amateurs the
heroine was attempting to drive the
william from her presence. His part
was to resist until the hero appeared
and compelled him. But the hero had
a quick change to make and in doing
this lost one of the big top boots ne
was to wear. He couldn't very well
appear with one boot and was making
a frantic search for it when his cue
came.
But there was one in the company
quick witted enough to come to the
rescue. He was off at the time and
watching the scene from the wings
and before the forced absence of the
hero had become embarrassing walked
gracefully in and touching his hat
asked if Colonel Black lived there.
Those on the stage had sense enough
to fall in with him and after minute
or two of polite dialogue that was
wholly eXtemporaneOus he bowed him
self off. the hero having at last found
his boot and being ready in the wings
to take his part. His cue was repeated
if nothing unusual had happened and
the audience never knew.
Another time the heroine was de-
Tending her wounded lover from the
villain and in so doing was supposed to
