be up in many parts. frequently the
actors would have to double in per

the people. l remember one time we
were playing Hamlet When the time
came. in the players scene. for the
man to poison the king. 1t was found
that the particular actor selected for
the part was on the stage in another
role.
Immediately the stage manager
grabbed an actor who was getting
ready to continue in another role.
The actor was wrapped in big man
tie, handed bottle and told to hurry
on the stage and do the poisoning. No
body would recognize him, said the
stage manager.
But protested the actor, what

Something Seemed Lacking.

One of the best known London
newspapers, in a review of "Lincoln's
Own Stories." collected by Anthony
Gross. commented on the anecdote
which Lincoln was fond of telling OF
a family of such migratory habits
that they were able to get everything
into one wagon, and even the chick
ems were 80 used to being moved that
whenever they saw the wagon sheets
brought out they laid themselves on
their backs and crossed their legs,
ready to be tied. The British review
er, with an insular sense OF humor,
remarked: One feels a little as
though something must have been ac-
cidentally left out OF this and Of many
