October 19.-Another week of theatrical
life has begun to show me that I can't
expect to be responding to encores all the
time. My turn as Marks is beginning to
lose its power over the audience. The
donkey is getting too well acquainted
with me. That's the trouble with animals.
they say. The manager tells me that no
matter how much they viii cut up at
first. in time they will want TO kick or
bite somebody else.
Il don't know why it is" he said 'Tve
had men playing Marks, and one and all
started in splendidly The donkey would
eat half the clothes off them or kick them
through the scenery, and they would
make the biggest kind of a hit, but with
in a week or two the donkey would get
tired of them and refuse to kick them
and then, Of course, theft Interpretation
Of the role would suffer a great deal
Why, I had a fellow once who seemed at
first to be destined to be the greatest
Marks that ever was seen. On his opening
night the donkey caved in two of his ribs
and bit half an ear off him-and the
audience went wild. But the very next
week that donkey would follow him
around ike a lamb, and there was moth
ing doing. There's no use talking What
the public wants is thrills. The public
wants to see how near you can come TO
being killed. The only man in the audi
ence who doesn't like to see an actor
skidding around on the edge of eternity
is an accident insurance agent"
/ took my cue from that, so to speak.
That afternoon 1 went TO the stable
where the donkey was kept and belabor-
ed il heartily with a whip, until 1 sup
posed l had il so enraged at me that il
would try to murder me as soon as il
saw me on the stage
That night l finished playing Marks.
Instead of attacking me the donkey gave
hee-haw of fright and ran off the stage
and out Of the theater and was two miles
out of town before they caught it.
Eliza was not well the next night, and
the manager had me make up In a latter
ed dress, with brown stain on my face
and hands, and do her part.
For the helpless infant that Eliza car
