but more to show that the actions OF
several persons in the gallery had
not been appreciated in previous at
tiaS.tions OF the season
During the intermission between
tho iirst and last act the actions OF
Miss Tanguay we're discussed and
she was given excellent treatment un
til the performance was nearing its
END, and but for her very babyish be
havior she would have received II

her love song that she flung the in
suit that will remain in the minds OF
those who received it for many days
e come In the song she asks that
the audience join her In the chorus,
and several did 50 by whistling in
very satisfactory manner-to the au
dience + no. TO the actress. One
whistle however, missed the tune
and Miss Tanguay Immediately said
words to the effect that she thought
tio-l is pearance she was playing
b 4cre { aighelass audience, the
words being uttered in an insulting
manner, and leaving the impression
that in her opinion the audience was
composed Of a crowd of hoodlums in
stead OF ladies and gentlemen. She
was given no applause, and her re
ception afterwards was such chilly
one that the members of the com
pany seemed to have los heart and
10 have eliminated part Of the per
Torrance. A beautiful stage picture
with Miss Tanguay elegantly gown
ed the central figure, was given just
previous to the fall of the curtain,
and ins cad of hearing great applause
as she would have done had she
shown sense instead of giving insults
she beheld the audience filing out of
tho theater.
When IL is considered that Miss
Tanguays audience contained the
elite of the city, and that she is fai
from being In class to herself. 81
compared TO musical attraction fav-
orites, it can be seen that her insult
was disgrace to herself, her man
agement and the management of the
local theater, and was one Of the
disgusting kind She acted the
spoiled child to perfection in rep.
remand'ng the person or persons who
appeared to have injured her feel ngs
and in the manrer that d-es not take
long to iniufe the reputation Of a star
TO such an extent thar she is compel
led to step from the ranks. If Miss
Tanguay is SO great--and she is not
that she must have perfect quiet t.
do her little stun S. she should pro
vide muzzles ana chains for her audi.
ences or should wear cotton in her
ears to keep cut the noise There
was no excuse for such hahyism as
she INDUCED in, nor would there have
been had she been \ wonder Of the
stage or celebrated actress. She
ruined what pleasure the audience
got out Of The production. and left
name here for herself that no tenth
class actress would have cared for.
For the benefit Of the theatrical pro
fession it is hoped she will moi again
become so silly and foolish as she did
Saturday night.
AlIof Mss Tanguay is not bad for
with a good vehicle TO display her
ability. or on ihe vaudeville stage
she Is an entertainer who win draw
The crowds. Being a very graceful
dancer, delightful IN appearance and
so different IN her work from the ma
lority Of comic opera players she is

concerned. 10 The Sambo Girl A.
