When Mrs. Battles Bath was shown not long
ago at the Madison Square Theatre some persons
objected that 1t rather ridiculous to suppose
that two persons could be imprisoned in a bath
room by the nero Vaccinations Of an ordinary
door lock. Yet that happened to Sam Bernard last
night at the Herald Square Theatre and happened
at an unfortunate time, when he was due to make
q quick change and get back the stage. He
could not fathom the sudden intrcacies which his
spring lock developed, and he pounded for help.
As the lock. of course, was on the inside of the
door, the orchestra leader had to play over a
chorus four times as loudly as he could while two
stage carpenters chopped the star out He was
about Ave minutes late for his cue.
