the last year of his life Archdeaco con
Bryan was requested to call the meet

and requested the delegates to give at

prominent rheaters w hen ITO nark% the

all manner Of gifts have been thrown
upon the stage for the benefit of popu-
lar performers.
All those acquainted for long with
the inner life of the theatrical profess
sion can tell some remarkable stories
5of these gifts cast upon the stage The
most celebrated and uniyersal8ofs these
SreIates to a lady who held the
main portion Of the lease Ola proml-
5nent London theater. While this Lady
was still an actress only and not
manageress, an actress of great talent
and beauty, there was one night on the
first production of the piece q small
bouquet east upon the stage at her
feet. Attached to the bouquet was d
small Russia lea Their card case, nd in
side this We're bank notes to the value
of 1000 exactly. On no fewer than
seven different occasions. with toler-
ably long interval between, did the
same thing occur, and the lady, as al
legged, has never from that day to this
discovered who her admrer was,
lures were made at the time.
Even within the last few weeks an
unknown elderly gentleman threw an
envelope weighted with pennies and
containing five pound note to q tiny
child performing in a London subur-
ban pantom1me. Some theaters have
been celebrated for their gift nights,
all manner of presents, from frying
pans to green vegetables, having been
gently deposited on the stage for the
popular actors; yet, on the other hand,
both writs and summonses have been
handed to actors who could not be app
preached through the stage door, but
who consented to receive presents over
thesfootHghts on their benefit nights.
The most curious sight the writer
ever saw in connection with these gift
throwing nights was in relation to
favorite actor who, at a great provin-
ciaI theater, played during long pan
tomimic run the part of a parasite
named Cadgi, who carried a pipe
that had huge bowl, and whose oft
repeated cry was, Can any one obl1ge
me with a bit o. 'bacca % On the last
night Of the performance the familiar
request for ''bit o. 'bacca' had no
sooner been spoken than literally scores
of packets and screws" of tobacco of
every imaginable kind were thrown
upon the stage, more than 12o of these
falling about the actor.-London Tit
