Stage Stories

The stage manager of a Baltimore
stock company is thus quoted in the
Herald:
If" he says, everybody who want
ed to go on the stage did so, there
would not be enough people left for an
audience.
Possibly the most frequent appli-
can't for a position on the stage is the
very young and very 'giggly' girl. She
is usually very much embarrassed. The
prospect of speaking a piece right out
on the stage has somewhat overwhelm-
ed her.
oh, N.Y. she says with a giggle,
are you the manager? Why, 1 thought
you were a little man. You know

sars being next in point of age. The
Dragons are composed of the society
element, and have a high stand in
Charlestons social circles.
Last season the members organized
a minstrel troupe and gave two enter
tainments with great success. This
year they determine to put on a great
er show, and also to give performances
in this city and in Augusta The show
is organized and operated for the ben
eft of the Dragons. The managers
has expended a large sum of money in
costuming and staging. and the show
is said, by those who have seen it, to
be equal to and better than the ma
jority of minstrels on the road.
The troupe consists of over forty men,
probably the largest minstrel troupe
seen here this season. The orchestra
is from the well known First Band Ar
tillery Corps, easily the leading band
in the Southern states.
The first part of the performance or
overture, is said to be particularly
handsome. Twelve blacks with as
many white faces will be in the semi
circle, and the large orchestra elevated
in the rear. The costumes are elabo-
rate. The managers have devised a
picturesque color scheme. Some of the
finest singers in and away from Char
lesion are on the programme. The olio

The box sheet for the Zeisler piano
recital at the Lawton Memorial to-mor-
row evening opened at McArthur's
Music House Friday morning, and
throughout that day and yesterday
members of the Music Club were Sc
curing their reserved seats. There are
still a number of members of the
club who have not yet secured their
season membership tickets. These are
necessary in order that members may
secure their seats without charge. Mrs.
]. ]. Gaudry treasurer of the club,
has been busy at her residence, No. 30S
Hall street, east, during the last two
days, issuing these tickets, and will
probably be kept busy tomorrow. Only
members of the club have been able
to secure seats during the last two
days, but tomorrow morning at 8
O'Clock the box sheet will be open to
the public for the purchase of tickets.
The coming of Nine. Zeisler is an
event here, as she is the most cele-
brated pianist in America this season,
and one of the worlds most famous
artists. 1t has been only after several
futile efforts at having her appear in
Savannah that the Music Club has
finally accomplished this, and she will
come here for this performance direct
from New York. 1t has been the pol
icy of the club to select it's artists and
bring them out direct for their APP
pearance here and not take such as
may be on tours, and in this way the
foremost artists of the world have been
brought here. AS in the case of all
of the other artists which the club
has presented, Nine. Zeisler will come
South for this one performance. She
will arrive here early tomorrow morn
ing, and apartments have already been
secured for her at the De Soto. She
has selected a special programme for
tomorrow night, which will be as fol-
lows:

the section in which the ring is con-

with the ring will be married before

thimble is doomed to remain a bachelor.
Mary Mannering drew the ring the
year before she married to Hackett.
She presented another ring to the club,
with the wish that it might bring SINH
