a stranger entered the room with a bill
for the entertainment in his hand.
Are you the manager Of the theater?"
inquired the stranger.
II am, SIR replied Mr.. Foster
You are to play Richard III tonight?"
Yes, sir
Il am and always have been extremely
fond of theatricalS, but never have had
opportunity of seeing Richard Ill" "
Very well, sir, come tonight
Unfortunately l leave town this evening
on the Gas train. Now how much money
would induce your company to play Rich
ard for me this afternoon"
Foster. thinking the stranger was jok-
Ing. replied that he would do it for S25
The stranger looked at the bill again. and
inquired what would be the extra charge
for the farce of THE Rough Diamond y
To carry out the Joke. Foster replied Ten
dollars" To his utter surprise, the stranger
counted out $50. and. handing it to him,
remarked that he would like to have the
Play begin no later than o'clock.
Foster got the company together and
related the circumstances. The idea of
playing to an audience of one was so ridic-
ulous that they consented. Two o'clock
came and the solitary auditor assembled. :"
Choosing an eligible position, and cooking
his feet upon the back of the seat in front
OF him, he waited for the performance to
begin. The bell rang. up went the cur
tain. and the play commenced. Never did
actors do better. They all exerted them
selves to give their patron an entertain
ment worth the price paid for it, and they
succeeded. The stranger applauded Wig
orously at different points. and at the close
OF the play called Mr.. ]. T. Fannin before
the curtain, who responded in a neat lttls
speech. dance and a song followed. az
ter which the farce of The Rough Dia-
mond was played and the "audience"
laughed, roared and applauded. There is
one or the company living, and only one
who took part in that performance-Mr
Frank Foster, son of the manager.
