Kissing AND ENc0REs.
Origin Of These Two Customs OF the
Playhouse.

Kissing in playhouses had its origin
In Paris in 1880 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 en- this occasion the lndig-
nant audience. driven to desperation
by the platitudes of Aspar. voiced their
anger by Kisses, which drove the ac-
tors into temporary retirement accord
ing to the testimony of the poet Roi.
who alludeg to the incident In his
"Brevet de In Calotte." Kissing there
after became fashionable.
The first encore noted in the annals
of the stage was accorded to Liyius
Andronicus, a Roman actor. He was
popular with the masses and was
called back 30 often to repeat his
speeches that he In self defense
brought a boy to declaim for him while
he himself applied the gestures. While
encores became the rage in subsequent
ages, 1t is known that Andronicus' plan
Of haiing an understudy before him be-
fore the audience to share his honors

four strips of lath, Of which DelacroiS

American Success.

The reason of the enormous uccesl

opening day, they will be ousted by the
police department of the Association.

Interstate Fair will be the baby show
and parade which takes place Monday,
