THE STAGE DRINK.
Some Sarcastic Comments Upon Its
Terrific Potency.

Some Sarcastic Comments Upon TIA
Terrific Potency.
What we have always noticed about
the stage drink is its terrific potency.
That there are other points Of interest
in this thing we do not deny, and we
are inclined to agree with a writer in
one of the weekly papers who says
that "our actors, even the best and
most experienced Of them, haven't the
faintest notion of how to drink nat
urally and with the air of men who
are enjoying the process" And we
have frequently noted that curious I'M
spillable quality In the musical comedy
drink. In this particular type Of po-
tatlon, which is set to music and
which we may call the gay drink, the
careless gestures Of the fagon holders,
who do not actually drink until they
have waved the goblet upside down,
have been known to make strong and
thirsty galleryites burst into tears,
commingled with reproaches. When
falsely accused Frederick suffers q mo-
mentary attack Of depression and de-
cides to set out for territories eXclu-
sively canine he pours into a small
liquor glass a little very pale brandy
and, with a desperate cry Of frenzy
and despair, drinks it at one go. Some
times It is half glass Of noncorporeal
claret. But the result is the same.
Falsely accused Frederick instantly
starts his Apache dance with the
grand pianoforte, and friends who be
lieved in him, entering at that mo.
