"a friend of mine was recently tell
Ing me about the custom that obtains
In this respect in certain theaters and
opera houses in German cities, and
from what he says it is exactly the re-
verse of what it is here. Over there
the star or leading player takes the
first curtain call alone. If there is a
second curtain call the star and associ-
ate player of the opposite sex appear
together on the stage TO respond to it,
and should a third call from the au-
dlelce be given the entire company ap-
(4ears in answer to it. The customs of
our stage generally reverse this proce-
dure. Among US the first curtain call
is responded to by the entire company,
the second by three or four or five of
the principal players, the third by the
leading man and woman alone, and
then If there are more by the star or
leading player.
This Is of course dealing with the
subject in a general way and consider
ing the circumstances as those which
may ordinarily obtain. Where two or
three players only are concerned in

for him. Il shall try" said the Finn
and seized his hand. Gazing fxedly
into his eyes, he stood thus for lit

thoughts about your wife, but it would
be well for you il you were as faithful
as she is When you go on board you
will get letter from her with some
