 It sometimes happens that one or 2 theater audience may receive more no tice and get bigger laugh than the legitimate fun-maker on the stage mas been able to gain through whole per formance. A case in point once nap pened while Sir Henry Irving was play ing "Othello." In the gallery was an auditor who manifested his sympathies for "Desdemona'' on all occasions where, in the play, she seemed to pc in need of them. The man. who was warm hearted Irishman, made audi ble comment as the play proceeded. When Irving, in the scene where Otnei- 10 several times demands Desdemonas handkerchief, had asked three times for this missing article of her toilet, the Irishman ruined the scene by rising in his seat and shoutlng across the aud4Iorium: Don't you give 1t to him-d don't you give 1t to him make him wipe his nose on ms slayve- dirty naygurw Frank Keenan relates an episode which hap pened some years ago, when he was l, with repertory company playing trag- edies. The play at the time was also "Othello," and the scene was the same, , where the jealous Moor demands the 1, handkerchief. To one of the audience it evidently seemed as though the play at this point was being unnecessarily delayed, for, rolling big r~d bandan- ma handkerchief into ball, he threw it straight at the head of the astonished tragedian, exclaiming: "Here, you!- 1 take mine, and for heavens sake go on | with the play!

 James F. Dolan, of the vaudeville team of Dolan and Lenharr, sends the following story about their small son, who for few minutes made a greater hit with the audience than did his clever parents in their sketch. The popular song at the time was 1.-The Sidewalks of New York; and this they i interpolated in the sketch. As a spe- cial novelty their boy, Artie, then z 5years of age, sang the chorus of, the song in the gallery of the theaters where they were booked, first introduce ling it, at the San Francisco Orpheum. The boy sang bravely through the first chorus, then, being somewhat un- nerved at the tremendous applause that followed he grasped the railing of the l gallery and, eager for his next cue, he nervously swayed to and fro, keeping time with the music. A late conner, in the person of another small boy, crowded into seat back of the little singer at that moment. Evidently an q aware that he was 8 part of the aware that 6 was part of the sketch, in fact, the whole chorus, he \ gave Artie cruel kick in the back, at the same time telling him to keep sti1l and let somebody else get a look al the stage. The kick threw the small chorister against the railing. and for an instant deprived him of his breath os tat when his cue came to take uI the refrain he was unable to do so Dolan beckoned him to go OH, an finally, when he could get full breath he called across the theater. crying with both fright and anger: "Pop, my winds gone. A fresh kid up here has broken up my voicew Dolan relates that at this reply both sketch and au 7 dience were as badly broken up as the Z boy. A body guard was thereafter ap pointed to prevent repetition of ar interruption.
