Astronomy is scarcely more interesting than were these dramatic stars at close range. Imagine having seen blind Loulse groping her way about the stage a moment before, and then suddenly @oming upon Grace George intently reading a type- written note! And there was the other orphan, Henriette, recetv- ing not only kindly but medical treatment at the hands of the villainous Jacques! Margaret Illington had ecreamed so lustily at being carried off that her voice had no more screams left in It, When it came to the supplementary screams behind the scenes Miss Ulington couldn't scream worth a cent. Charies Warner, the striped “and earringed Jacques, listened to the hoarse failures; then with a word of sympathy hurried off, to return a moment later with a remody. Moistening # handkerchief with murlate of ammonia, he held it close to Miss Iilington’s mouth and gooth- ingly sald: “Inhale it two or three times.” Miss Ill- ington did ao, and was soon screaming aa well as’ ever, James O'Nelll, no longer the weakly, twisted Pierre, betrayed his athletic tendencies in the remark that he would rather play baseball than Pierre, and that he did wish summer would hurry up and get here. We must confess to shuddering a bit at coming face to face with hideous “Mother” Frochard, but this feeling was dispelled by hearing Elita Proctor Otte merrily exclaim: “My! but this make-up, with {te false nose and its other little adornments, !s @ suppose?

But the thought which tortured me was, ‘Will there be nothing but courtesy in the at- titude of to-night's audience toward me? Then I heard my cue. My head was in a whirl, my feet like two plecés of lead, and it seamed that I stumbled on the stage. The sounds from in front rushed upon me like a storm, and I felt myself wavering and trem- bling. I had expected something in the aature of a greeting, but I was hardly prepared for what came. I felt grateful, of course; but, with it all, there was a dull pain in my heart, for I told myself: “'This is not you they are welcoming: it is the Clara Morris of other days, dead and gone.

And, oh! how glad I was! I wanted to show how grateful I felt. I wanted to take the audience in my arms. To re- strain myself from figuratively doing. this, I kept re- peating, ‘Don't get outside the dress!’ ‘Don't get out- side the dress!’ But my admonitions fell on ears deat to everything but that ‘glorious sound, and almost before I knew what I wes doing my arms were out- stretched in an impulse to make that great, generous audience understand what I felt. “And,” Miss Morris smilingly added, ‘‘a New York audience, more than any oth always quick and keen to understand.
