AWKWARD MOMENTS.
SITUATIONS ON THE STAGE WHICH CAUSE CONsTERNATION
And Amusement-NIrs.P Potter's Worst
 Moment.

Nothing is more disconcerting to an actor than an untoward accident which is liable to mar the effects of the most powerful scene and make it ridiculous Considering the many details which have to be carefully observed at every theatrical performance it is wonderful that not more such accidents happen Even the most careful stage manage ment cannot sometimes prevent aWk- ward situations, caused by the failure of some person or object to function properly
 The Duke of York Theater in London is undoubtedly one of the most careful ly managed houses in the world, and yet an English chronieler reports two awkward cases, both connected with doors, that occurred within a year or so. The first happened during the second performance of Miss Hobbs" and was cleverly gagged" away by Allan Aynesworth. He and Herbert Waring were down stage when the page boy entered by the only door, presented MT. Aynesworth with a letter and essayed to retire. To his manifest horror he could not open the door, and when Aynesworth came to his assistance even their united efforts only resulted in an ominous shaking of the whole side scenery Keeping up his character of a somewhat irascible fellow, AynesWorth turned to the page and shouted:
 Can't get out of the door? Confound you, then get out of the window"
 His eonfrere apparently pointed out

PoIps CLOSED FOR THE SEASON.
One of the Most Successful Years tn Its
 History.

Poli's theater was closed for the sea- son Saturday night, after one of the most successful runs in it's history. In speaking with Courier reporter last evening Manager Poli said that he is again obliged to publicly express his gratitude to the New Haven public for the marked appreciation they have shown his efforts to entertain them. Business has been excellent said Manager Poli, "and have the New Ha- ven people who regularly attend my house, week in and week out, to thank for this"
 MT. Poli was asked if he intended go- ing to Europe again this summer, to which he replied that his enlarged in- terests here will require his constant attention during the summer, and he will begin at once to book the finest att fractions obtainable. Therefore, a Eu ropean trip this year will not be taken,
 Polls has maintained it's reputation for big business and best vaudeville right up to the closing minute. The au- dience at the closing performance was a large one.

that the window was not a practical
 one, for the other, still fin character" 1 yelled, in a terrific voice. Can't open 1 the window? Then clear off the stage!" an advice which the page hastily fol- lowed disappearing with celerity by the 70. P.' entrance, as Aynesworth, aim ! ing a book at his retreating figure took up his lines again without stumble. Herbert Waring, when playing in
 ''The Swashbuckler," was troubled hy
 a door that opened at the wrong time. He was supposed to be locked In tur- ret, and, after wildly wrestling with the fastenings of the door, said to be secured by heavy bolts, retired a few paces, and, shaking his fist at the exit, exclaimed:
 If l could only open that door"
 The words had hardly crossed his lips when the upper portion of the door swung quietly open of it's own accord. Waring proved equal to the emergency, and on the pretence of again knocking at it with his sword hilt closed it, but not until general litter had run through the house.
 Miss Evelyn Willard, for many years connected with the Duke of York Thea ter, also had an experience with door similar to that just related. but it hap pened in some other part of England. She was playing in 8, melo-drama, and in one of her scenes she was alone with the villain, who locked the door and then announced in the usual style: Aha! proud damsel, you are in my power" etc., etc. Miss Willard rushed at the door, beat upon it violently, and was immediately precipitated out of sight of the audience, while voice in the wings said loudly: Bless me for got to warn the lady that that ere door opened the wrong way"
 Much the same thing happened to Miss Irene Vanbrugh from q different l cause. MT. Hare has horror of locked l doors, being always afraid they might

NEW HAVEN.
TENT POLE BROKE BY WIND.

Iighwood Firemen Undaunted Cut a
 New Pole and Replaced it in Short
 Order.
 About o'clock yesterday afternoon during the gale one of the forty-foot poles supporting the immense tent of the Highavood Volunteer Fire associa- ton, who are giving a lawn party nightly at the corner of Dixwell avenue and Morse street Highwood, broke off about ten foot from the top of the pole, badly wrecking the tent, tearing inn mense holes in the tent and necessitat- ing the taking down of the whole out fit while repairs were being made
 The firemen undaunted walked into the woods about q mile and a half, cut down forty foot tree, skinned it and had the pole in place again in about two hours. Others set to work and re- paired the rents in the canvas and the tent is now in position and everything in good order for the festival to be held tonight and every night this week having opened on Saturday even- ing with a large attendance.

 Mrs. Brown Potter's worst moment occurred in America, when she was playing "Frou Frou" She was a little late for her third entrance, and seeing the child-as she thought-waiting as usual in the wings for her to take it on and show it to it's reputed father, caught hold of it's hand without word and whirled it after her on the stage delivering the lines which called the &C., tors attention to the pledge of our mutual love-"
 A perfect roar of laughter broke from the audience. Mrs. Potter gasped, looked at the child and nearly fainted- she had brought on a negress of the blackest type,
 Forbes Robertson once had a bad at tack of stage fright. He was playing Romeo to the Juliet of Mime. Modjeska They had reached the scene where Ju- let bends over Romeo in despair before taking her own life, and the audience was spellbound, when he felt an ire sistible inclination to sneeze. An ago. nized expression came over his face, and Modjeska asked hastily:
 What is ze matter?'
 I'm going to sneeze," whispered Ro- meo, miserably

 Miss Ethel Sidney had an embarras ss- ing experience in the Midlands. She was playing in comic opera, and dressed in boys attire, one of her lines being: A petticoat, my kingdom for a petti-
 coat.
 Just as she had delivered it one night something fluttered down from the bal- cony rail and fell at her feet. It was q red flannel petticoat which had evil dently just been taken off by some fac tory girl who thought she needed an ad- dition to her wardrobe.
 Miss May Harvey had an exciting eX- perience on the night of her first Lon don appearance. She was playing in "The Blot on the 'Scutcheon," and was standing close down on the 70. P" side of the stage waiting~forhathe cur tain to go up. When it did so, her dress, which was heavily embroidered with gold, got over the roller, the re- suit being that as the curtain rolled up her dress rolled up with it until she was lifted right off her feet and another turn would have seriously injured her. The audience, unaware of the danger she had run, simply shouted, but behind the wings consternation reigned su- preme.--Chicago Tribune.
