WANTED THE STAGE FILLED
Theatrical Magnate Evidently Cared
More for Effect Than for Accuracyk
of Production.

The production of great dramas was
his business. His great talent was
success, and his weakness was that
he always liked to SHOW off, when he
was rehearsing a play. He was
in the habit of sitting far back in
the darkened theater, and whenever
a stranger came in to see the re-
hearsal work he put himslf in the
foreground by jumping to his feet
and bawling out the actors and ac
tresses. When he was putting on
big production of The Holy City"
three friends OF his entered the the.
ater one afternoon to see the dress
rhearsal. AS soon as they had sat
down the producer began to fidget
In his seat. He was consumed by the
old fever for prominence. He want
ed the visitors to see that he was the
boss of everything. There were IL
men on the stage, which was unusual
ly large. who are those men on
the stage?" he called out to his stage
manager in a thunderous voice.
That's one of the big scenes of the
play" the manager said humbly.
Those men are the 12 disciples"
"Oh. wen." shouted the impresario
imperiously, ''go out and get IL more.
