14 OP' QELSTC-21? The Ambitious Understudy. DAN R. BOISSEAU, 'Zl. CAn Evening at the TheatneJ The theatre is crowded. Rank upon rank of faces stretch back from the orchestra pit, flanked on either side by the overflowing boxes and' loges. Expressive faces, some -showing an eagerness and imagined delight in the scenes to come, some blase with the sophisticated look of the first-nighter, whom no actor or actress could hope to surprise. Upon others a look of in- difference is sketched, and some even seem to say, Just two hours more and this useless waste of time will be over. Whispered nothings fill the air with the busy hum of many voices. Shaded lights are reflected from nu- merous precious stones and gleaming jewelry set in fair splendor against some woman's ivory-colored neck or wisps of perfume help finger. Airy to delight the senses. Every one pres- ent seems to monplace air have laid aside his com- in the change from the practical to the realm of imagination and fancy. Late comers whisper to their neighbors of the line besieging the ticket agent-of the crowd being turned away. ' Well might this theatre be crowded. The play, now in its sixth week, was drawing as strong as lever, an unusual thing for a drama. Written by an author famed for his dramatic abil.ty, the play was considered his best pro- duction. The actor, blanvier, favorite for a decade, was allowed in this ve- hicle to bring into use all his latent ability, to build on each word and lay his audience under ,a marvelous spell. People talked about it, telling their friends how they cried and laughed at the crucial moments. The newspapers were lavish in their praises, some even comparing it to Shakespeare. It was indeed a play by which to compare other plays, one that might be used as a standard in all that is good in 3 production employing art, skill, and craftsmanship. The time for the opening scene draws near and passes. Men glance critically at their watches, and the hum of many voices grows louder. The audience glances critically toward the back, squirming in their seats. What is the matter, they whisper one to another. Then the manager appears -a large florid man risen from the ranks. He is perspiring profusely and seems a trifle nervous. He makes the announcement to the audience, The great Janvier, whom you have all come to hear, is indisposed this evening. However, you will not be disappointed, for his understudy will take the part. And I can promise you something extraordinary in the acts which will begin immediatelyf' he adds hypocritically. Back behind the wings trembles the understudy. He had worked for months knowing that only through such accident as this would he ever have the opportunity to show his talent. He knew every line perfectly, every gesture, every emphasis and in- flection of the voice. Still he trembles. Not from stage fright. No, he knows himself to be the equal if not better than the great Janvier. It is from weakness that his legs shake and body trembles. His meagre salary hardly kept body and soul together during the months before this night. Qften he went supperless that he might have a clean collar for the next rehearsal. He has donned the star's clothes and awaits his cue. His life's ambition is about to be realized and he knows it. My chance has come! My chance has come! he murmurs over and over to himself. The applause after the first act was deafening. The walls rang, the noise could be heard a block away. News- paper men telephoned their papers that the greatest find of the centurv was in the understudy of janvier. His

'murs fXN3n noise lews- apers ntury '. His OP' QHSTQIY 15 acting during the second act surpassed that of the first. He virtually lived his part. To one watching the play, the surroundings seemed to fade from him, and it was as if he watched the drama alone. In the last act the prin- cipal went insane over the death of his wife. All who knew of this watched for the climax with intense eagerness. And they were not dis- appointed. At the end of the play the applause lasted for five minutes. The old thea- tre-goers were surprised, for this new star had done what very few popular actors had dared to do-he had not answered his curtain calls. At last the crowd gives up and goes home, the one topic of conversation being the acting they had seen that night. The magazine and newspaper reviewers were lavish in their praise and for once gave real talent the tribute it deserved. Especially were they ex- cited over the depth of acting shown in the last scene. Pkfkbk Next morning, at one of the Rivei side hospitals a case is being wheeled in. One interne says to the other, What is this-an operation? No, the surgeon says there is no hope for this patient. His mind gave way altogether last night. A sad case! Yes, very sad. It seems that ha- played his part at the Royal last night so well that he really went mad in the last act. The attendants wheel a raving maniac into the ward for incurables. A Withered Flower. HAROLD F. RICHTER, '2i. T A few short hours ago, with pulsing heart, You lived and breathed, a radiant, lovely flower, Diffusing perfume gentle, fragrant, rare, In cultured garden or wild wood- land bower. Carefree and glad, as with your lovely kin, Rejoicing in God's all-embracing love, ln mute communion in the mighty choir, You sang the praise of Him in heav'n above But now life's o'er. After a too brief time, . Your hour is done. Aside you're wither'd cast, Yet still within the ashes lingers faint A subtle perfume, a mem'ry of the past. O God in heaven, when on steed of Night To realms of darkness we've been ta'en by Death, Grant that we, too, may leave no stain behind, Our mem'ry be but a sweet, per- fum'd breath. . ..,.,: . n.,,,' A anmzavai-,.:.:: an-ci-:T :gi -Jzaasnsliu 5: S:-2: if.
