that one of the greatest tragedies OF the
theater Is connected with the clown.
I'm the time of Louis XIV. there
was a famous clown known as Fat
William tGros Guillaumel. who held
his audiences In the Rue Favari by his
wonderful eccentricities of gesture
voice and mimicry. One night, so the
legend runs. his wife was dying, and
he was still obliged to so on and en-

seats in the orchestra.
'Iike all imitators of the Italian
'commedia.' his face was whitened
with flour Under the burden of his
great domestic sorrow he was stupid
and slow in his performance, and in
order to stir him up his companion ON
the stage hit him with a resounding
whack with heavy cane. The com
bination of his sentimental troubles
and the physical pain caused Gros
Guillaume to weep. AS the tears
streamed down over his whitened face
the aspect was so comical that the au-
dience cheered and laughed itself into
Mysteries. And ever since then every
clown has black lines on his whitened
face
Many are the black lines on the
face of the actor that the audience
knows not of."-Chicago Tribune.
