 At one place in the play an actor came on the stage, representing the Turkish commander. Essad Pasha. Immediately there were howls Of rage from the audience and young man from one of the orchestra chairs jumped on the stage revolver in hand and attempted to shoot the actor representing the Turkish general He was with difficulty restrained from killing the actor and was hustled ont of the theater amid the cheers of the audience.
 Later in the act when one of the players attempted to explain the movements which took place at the battle of Farabosch n number of vet erans in the audience arose and de- nounced him as q liar. Then there was a concerted movement of the men In the audience toward the stage, re- volver and knives in hand and the actors right then and there decided that the stage had no more charms for them.
