face Sooty. or course the audience
giggled. and poor Othello. When he
realized the cause of the mirth, was
almost unable to proceed with his
part and SO deeply mortified that when
he made his exit after his first scene
he declared that he could not finish
the performance. but happy thought
struck him. He procured pair OF
flesh colored gloves. blackened bis
hands. put the gloves on and walked
quietly on again. There was quite
little tittering as the Moor went on
with his lines. but it entirely subsidized.
as during a speech of one of the other
characters the dusky lover carefully
drew off his gloves. disclosing hands
to match his face. Then those whose
risibles had been affected felt small
and awkward.
