WHY LEADING LADY FUMED.
She Spoke the Wrong Word and tn
Audience Laughed.

From the Excelsior Springs Call.
Probably the most sensational and
the most uncalled for incident in the
theatrical history of Excelsior Springs
occurred last night when Mrs. w. E.
Culhane of Culhane's Comedians, ap-
pearng at the Airdome, informed the
audience in no very mild terms that
they were all .'brainless idiots. num-
skulls, isnoramuses." and applied other
choice descriptive terms to those who
had gone to the playhouse to see 1.-THE
Lure of the City The company had,
up to that time. been pleasing au-
diences, and such an occurrence is to
be regretted. An unbridled exhibition
of temper is at any time unpleasant,
but was in this case entirely mex
cusable.
1t was in the midst of an exciting
scene in the second act that Mrs. Gull
hane tensely calculated. II am still

wife) and wave Of laughter passed
over the house. Excelsior Springs
audiences are generally very courteous,
and there was quiet in a moment, 1t
being naturally expected that the scene
would go on without further Interrupt
ton. But it was then the TRADE start
ed. and the great wonder was that the
face Of such insulting remarks. 1t was
here again, however, that the crowd
showed it's culture, listening in
amazement to string Of talk, the like
of which has never been heard from a
stage here, and when the other play
ers were permitted to resume the play
they receivedscthe attention that had
previously been given, even greeting
Mrs. CulhaneS final return to the stage
with only slight laugh.
