She Stood Pat.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Manager Sam S. Shubert had an expert
ence at the Casino, one Of the three Broad
way theaters he is now conducting, which
may have the effect Of leaving more Of
the details of management to his leuten-
ants. On Saturday afternoon a woman
was observed by the chief usher to wander
down into the orchestra, where she took a
stand in one Of the aises.
The usher politely informed her there
was no standing room for sale on the first
floor.
"Oh, that'll be all right" was her cheer
full response, but without making a move
Treasurer Comstock was then asked to
use his persuasive eloquence to induce the
solitary standee to occupy the space her
coupon called for. But Mr.. Comstock only
got from the woman a chilly glare and the
ejaculation, Il beg your pardon, sir!' And
she said 1t in such a way as to indicate
that she felt an apology was coming to
her and that she hoped to get it by first
begging somebody else's pardon-in a sar-
castle way, of course.
Comstock retired and Manager Shubert
TOOK up the verbal cudgels.
You paid only so cents for your coupon. :"

stand downstairs. We are not ling

noon"
'.nat do you charge for your standing
room down here when you do sell it?" de-
manded the woman. -
"A dollar" was Mr.. Shubert's response
Then III stand on one foot during the
rest Of the performance" she replied.
And the woman said it with an air Of one
who felt she had closed an incident
Mr.. Shubert retired.

line OF development in stage effects during
the next half century may be determined
with considerable certainty
Electricity he adds. ''using the term in

for the stage. Where Edison developed it IS
science the stage Is now developing II a

No Shakespeare.
From the London Outlook.


The King OF Portugal has conceived a low
estimate Of our national enthusiasm for our
greatest dramatist. Shakespeare When he
heard in Paris that a state performances
was to be given in his honor at Windsor
Castle. he wrote suggesting the representa-.
tion OF some shakespearean play, he hav-
ing himself translated several into Portu-
guese with the collaboration of his father.
He was much surprised at learning that
not single play by Shakespeare was ran
ming in London, and still more that no rep
resentation could be promptly prepared. 1t
may also not be known that the King of
Portugal has pronounced musical tastes
which include a frank detestation of the
later works Of Wagner and a hearty admit
ration for the tunefM and simple melodies
of Verdi in his earlier period.
