Behind the Scenes
A writer 111 the Cincinnati Gazelle
tells of a recent vi t hehnui the scenes
in one of the theatres in that city, and
relates the 101100 ing, incident .
An affecting incident occurred 'at the
National a few days ago. One of the
public las owes, lust us the curtain
rose, received a telegraph that lus
• mother lay dying iii
The poor fellow broke down, sobbed
like it child, r0,,1 around bun his
associate. , in silent, tearful einpatlty.
Nit the ptiblic hail paid their winos
sion —the performance most go on ;
and, with a heroism not often parallel
ed, he rose, wiped the tears from his
Mee, and appeared before the. footlights.
Little did the audience think, as they
shook wait laughter at his broad car:
cature and thundered out a vehement
encore, of the agony he was enduring.
l'ou/d the 3 Irate stood at the "wings"
and seen the ghastly look of str il ering
that swept over his face as he left the
stage they wchilil have realized what
their amusement rust that night. liut
again and again was he let alled : and,
as he left the scene for the last time,
another telegram ADIJOIMeed to tarn
1.1)0.1,1\11 waiit'oeir. Still the inexorable
public must receive their quid ,10 quo,
and so through the pantomime's weary
length he had to drag himself, appar
ently the gayest of the gay, while the
keenest and bitterest of earthl3 sorrows
was piercing his heart, and many
mute pressure of the hand bore et i
deuce of the kindly sympadlo ‘d those
about him.
