I wore very little in that scene. What

Then came a litter. and evidently it
was growing In agony turned quick
ly about and found myself facing a
monstrous cat. Starllke, he held the
very center of the stage. his two great
topaz eyes fixed unhinchingly upon my
face. His tail stood straight and ag-
gressively in the air, twitching with
short witches at the very top.
Alas, no wonder they giGgled! But
how To save the approaching death
scene was what went through my
mind.

SAVING The SCENE
An Emergency For Which Actors
Must Ever Be Prepared.

An experienced actor is supposed to
be able TO cope with any stage emer-
gency, no matter what is lacking or
what happens. Cool. self possessed. ii
Is expected OF him TO turn the ridicu-
lous into source OF applause rather
than Of disapproval or laughter
And among the necessary acquire
ments for the actress is an unshaknble
self control. no matter IL by some care
lessness she Is thrown into a situation
almost without precedent. She must
never fiy Of At a tangent because of
some unrchearsed incident. She must
not scream when the perennial gallery
idiot yells Fire. II something is for
gotten she must try hard TO hide its abb
sence or invent substitute.
If anything unusual occurred ! al
ways tried to incorporate 1t into the
play If possible. as when In the school
room scene OF Miss Mutton" ! was as

friends for years. don't like 10 recall

Then | rose. and. thanking heaven
and generous master for the collar he
wore, grasped it. and. having stroked
his silky ear with the other hand,
said to my pupils: Children, do not
wish TO curtail your pleasures. but
have told you before that cannot per
NIT you to hive your pets in this room
during lesson hours. Now, don't force
me to remind you Of that again"
And the little girl who played Paul
quickly and cleverly responded 10 my
wink. "Oh. excuse us this time, Miss
Mutton. and We won't do IL again"
And, taking the dog from me. she led
him OF into the retirement Of private
life, while In the morning one newspa-
