HIS INVOCATION A SUCCESS

Years Ego" says Guy Bates Post,
the actor, Il appeared in an amateur
performance of play that had dis
tinct religious flavor. The leading
player had studied for the ministry
and had deep and sonorous voice. In
one OF the scenes the lights were sup
posed to be turned down and raging
storm simulated. The accompanying
lines were:
"'Oh, Lord, deliver us from the pow
ers of darkness.
''The leading man spoke the lines,
but darkness didn't follow. He spoke
them again, and still the stage was
distressingly light. Finally he roared:
oh, Lord, deliver us from the pow
er of darkness, and also give that fool
gas man sense enough to turn down
the lights
THE gas lights went down and the
audience roared. "-Pittsburg Chroni-
