Kissing in playhouses Lad It's origin
in Paris in 1850 on the occasion Of the
presentation of Fontenelle's tragedy
"Aspar." Prior to that time suffering
audiences were wont to yawn audibly
and fall asleep when the apathy of the
actors and performances justified that
course. But on this occasion the iDdig
nant audience. driven to desperation
by the platitudes of Aspar, voiced their
anger by hiSses, which drove the nc
tors into temporary retirement. accord

who alludes to the incident in bis
"Brevet de la Calotte." Kissing there
after became fashionable.
The first encore noted in the annals
of the stage was accorded to Livius
AndrOnicus. Il Roman actor. He was
popular with the masses and was
called back so often to repeat his
speeches that he in self defense
brought a boy to declaim for him while
he himself applied the gestures. While

ages, it is known that AndrOnicus' plan

tured carpenter gave the young artist
four strips of lath, of which DelacroiX
made a rude framework for his mas

salon. But he had hardly a hope that
his picture would be accepted.
On opening day DelacrOiX went to
the salon. bat failed to find his paint
