panies that were sent to various parts of
the country to duplicate the success Of
the New York production.
Few persons in the audience on the
memorable night that The Lion and the
Mouse was given its Broadway pre-
miere realized how near to endangering
the success of the play was an unfortu7
nate accident to Mr.. Sabine's wardrobe
After the dress rehearsal on the evening
before the first public presentation Mr..
Sabine sent his valet to have his evening
clothes. which he wore in the third act,
when he was on the stage most of the
time, repaired and pressed. Through
some error, the valet in returning with
the clothes, got confused and left the
parcel at the stage entrance of the Hud-
son Theater instead of the Lyceum. In
the excitement behind the scenes at a
Broadway first night the fact that Mr.
Sabines clothes were not in the theater
was not discovered until the middle of
the second act. Then both actor and
stage manager had pretty problem to
face as it was impossible for Mr. Sabine
to appear in other than formal dress and
realize the authors conception of the
character. While all of the members of
the company were bemoaning the acct
dent and striving Iainly to find some
remedy an idea came to Mr.. Sabine and
he dashed hurredly from the theater to
