A CAT ON THE STAGE.
Belasco's Animal Took Her Cue With
the Best Of Them.
From Golfers Weekly

FROM Golfers Weekly
at often happens" said Mr. David Be-
lasco while talking about some of the me-
chanical effects used in 1.-The Darling of the
Gods" that tricks of the simplest descrip-
ton arouse the popular wonder and curios-
lily to the greatest extent. while on the
other hand the most original. delicate aud
daring work passes unnotsced by all save
professional experts. great many years
ago. when I was learning the business of
mounting and producing plays. l introduced
a cat into Hearts of Oak'-the play that
made the late James A Herne famous.
We had live baby in the play, too. which
excited tremendous amount of interest,
but l think the cat created more talk and
wonder because every one is familiar with
the habits of that domestic animal and
knows how difficult it is TO teach one to
perform even the simplest trick
Every night, at certain cue this cat
came on the stage, walked across to the
fireplace, stretched herself and then lay
down in front of the blazing hearth, for
we burned real fire in a gas log in order
to make the scene more realistic and natu-
raj. The cat did her part SO easily and
naturally that she frequently got a round
of applause, and ii always happened that
before had played three nights in a
town the most popular topic OF conversation
was How did they ever train that cat to
come on the stage, stretch herself and lie
down in front of the fireg
Might after night the cat took her cue
and went through her little act to the won
der and delight of all beholders. 1t really
seemed Eke remarkable performance on
her part: but, after all, her education was
a very simple matter. A few minutes be-
fore it was time for her TO go on we used
to put her in basket just large enough to
hold her comfortably without giving her a
chance to change her position and then
leave her in a cool place in the cellar. At
the proper time she was brought up stairs
and released in the entrance in time to
answer her cue. OF course. she walked
across the stage to where the fire was
burning, and when she got there what was
there to do except to stretch herself as a
measure of rel:fe after her cramped posi-
ton in the basket and then lie down in the
warmth Of the blazing log? The fact is, 1t
would have been very difficult indeed to
train her to do anything else under the
circumstances"
