( AN ACTORS REBUKE,

During the progress Of performance
In a New York theatre recently, an actor
gave the audience stinging rebuke. IT
was A. fashionable audience, and some OF
the diplomats were present, but there
was much talking, and when the actor
could stand it no longer he said: This
talking must cease, or shall order the
curtain rung down. It Is disturbing not
only myself, but others in the audience.
and 1t has become unbearable. ! am a
very patient man, but II this noise con-
tinues I shall stop the performance"
This recalls the rebuke OF Theodore
Thomas, the famous orchestra leader.
When playing in New York theatre,
we think, several persons persisted In
talking Finally Thomas raped tho
orchestra to silence. 1t was all done so
suddenly that the voices OF the takers
we're easily distinguished as the music
cea sed and naturally they became IN.
comfortably conspicuous. When the lnu-
sicians looked In perplexity to the leader
to know what 1t meant, he bowed politely
and SAL: Excuse me, gentlemen; feared
we were disturbing the conversation"
