A Gilbertian Rejoinder.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
W. s. Gilbert, like the vast majority of
authors and playwrights, objects strongly
to any change being made in his original
manuscript During the production of one
of the early Gilbert-Sullivan operas at the
London Savoy Theater one of the come
dams interpolated a joke of his own. Gil
bert was on his feet in an instant.
Il don't see that in my copy he OBJ
served.
1T amt In any copy yet" replied the
COMEDIAN but it'll be an awful 60"
Il think well cut it out" replied the IL
brettist.
But it'll get the laughs, Mr. Gilbert"
protested the comedian.
You could also get laughs by sitting
down in a pork pie remarked Gilbert; go
on with the rehearsal"
The right of comedian to gag" a part
recently found its way into an English
court. Lionel Rignold. funny man in the
London production of "A Chinese Honey
moon," was discharged for interpolating
jokes. He brought suit for damages
proved that many of his ideas had been in
corporated in the proprietors book, and
were virtually made part of the play, and
won the case.

HYPNOTISM IN ART.
Soubrette's Unique Attempt to Infu-
ence a Manager.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
1t being the time of year when the play
ers besiege the managers for positions,
many new experiences are being related at
different leaning rails along the Rialto.
Perhaps the queerest is that Of a manager
on whom a soubrettsh appearing young
woman called the other day and applied for
a place. He told her that his company was
already engaged. She refused to take no
for an answer, however, and sat tanning
herself in a most furious fashion. The more
he explained that there was no hope the
harder she famed, until suddenly he noticed
that the room was being filled with the Odor
of a peculiar perfume. Finally she broke
down and told him the story and he retold
it follows:
1T seems there is an alleged doctor in
the theatrical district who deals in the oc-
cult science. He makes a specially of ca
tering to actresses, and you know there are
no more superstitious people on the face of
the earth than those who are the stage.
This quack persuaded the soubrette to
buy a bottle of his magic perfume, war
ranted to reduce any manager to tractabili-
ty. All she had to do, according to direc-
tons was to pour few drops on her fan,
mutter the cabalistic words taught her,
then sally forth to the managerial Sanctum
and take up a position where the breeze
from the fan should blow into the face of
the man she was talking to- She was to
keep her mind intent upon the engagement
she coveted and look the manager straight
in the eyes. The poor girl famed me for
half an hour and never took her eyes from
mine. Then. when ! finally told her she
could not have the part, she broke down
and cried. and told me the whole story.
She said, too, that she knew of at least
dozen actresses who had the magic per-
fume.' I've been twenty years in the bust
ness, but that's the queerest snap l ever

Comedian Seabrooke declares that one Of

Are you ready for busness?"
Seabrooke replied: That's what I'm

chair at the same time, and made ready

"REMINISCENCES OF VETERANS.
Old Members of the Theatrical Profes-
sion Becoming Literary.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The prevailing fad of the actor or actress
who has grown old in the profession is to
write "reminiscences. Most of the older
players, who have gained prominence, have
either done this or are at work upon them,
and the venerable Mr.. jefferson is said to
be framing a second series.
Mrs. G. H. Gilbert for thirty years of her
life on the stage was with Augustin Daily,
with the exception of a brief period when
the famous manager lost his hold. During
this time the actress appeared in the pro-
duction of w. S. Gilberts Engaged,
which enjoyed considerable popularity.
The author himself came from England to
conduct the rehearsais, and Mrs. Gilbert.
in recounting the incident says that When
she was introduced to him Mr. GILBERT

on the north bound coach to begin real
season of acting. In those days people did
not know what the words billboard and
printing meant. and frequently the man
ager of the theater had no information of
the company's proposed engagement. We
would straggle into town, the manager of
our company would hunt up the manager
of the theater, and, if satisfactory arrange
ment was impossible, we wandered on to
the next town. When it had been arranged
to play, the first duty of the manager was
to announce the entertainment to the folk

FALSE RUMOR.
Joe Barnett Said to Have Been Shot
and Mortally Wounded.

Yesterday morning, at about s
clock. Joe Barnett and a party of
hunters, left the city in two wagons
for few days hunt along the river
and at the lakes around La Joya.
This morning, a report reached the
city, va the local railway shops, that
the rumor was current down there
that Mr.. Barnett had been accidentally
shot and was considered mortally
wounded.
On hearing the report, The Citizen
notified the Western Union Telegraph
company to ask it's operators south of
the city, and as far as La Joya, If they
could substantiate the report, and a
wire was received that the rumor was
undoubtedly false. as no one had been
shot in their vicinity.
Mrs. Barnett heard of the report and
feared the facts, but this afternoon, on
being informed that the rumor was
false, became easy of mind.
