SOL SMITHS STAGE DEBUT
As the Body of King Henry In the
Play "Richard H." He Didn't
Make Hit.

Sol Smith used often to tell of his
adventures when as a boy he first in
vaded the theater according to the
Green Book. On one occasion he con-
trived to make his way behind the
scenes and unperceived hid himself
in large box, which he found in the
carpenters gallery, and closed the lid.
For more than an hour he lay con-
cealed, waiting for the curtain to go
up. When it did he was delighted to
find that by lifting the cover of the
box he could see all that was going
on below. The play was Richard
III" and all went we'll till the second
act, when he heard four or five men
making their way directly to his hid
ing place.
Sol had barely time to close the lid
when they took up the box and pro-
fanely remarking on it's great weight,
proceeded to take King Henry's cof-
fin downstairs. Upon the stage they
went. followed by Lady Anne and the
troupe of mourners. She lamented
loudly and Sol perspired in secret
IHruuSu dll the famous COuTllUS
scene he managed to keep quiet. but
as the live corpse was carried "to
Whitefriars" and upstairs again the
awkward supers turned and tumbled
and tipped the cofiined majesty so
that they injured him severely and he
cried out. The passage was dark;
