The atupldlty ot nn u.her in handing
p bunch ot rosea over the footlights,
’the apparent confusion of the recipient,
the embarrassment on the part of the
one for whom they were really in
tended and the hysteria and tears of
the giver contributed to a tragedy en
acted, but practically unobserved, nt
the Primrose's Minstrel Thursday.
It all happened after tho sweet-voiced
tenor, Will Oakland, lmd warbled tho
strains of that old ballad, "Silver
Threads Among the Gold." Mr. Oak
land hail earned bis salary for Thurs
day and sat down amid the applause of
the admiring audience.
None applauded the efforts of Mr.
Oakland mote beautify than did two la-
dies and a little boy who were seated
In one of the lower boxes. From their
actions It was evident that they were
more or leas interested In the program,
and were awaiting the appearance of
some one more Important than those
already tut the stage.
The serenity of the occasion was
marred, however, when, after Mr. Oak
land had sealed himself with that sat
isfaction of a tenor singer having
pleased his audience, an usher tripped
down the aisle with a magnificent
hunch of dowers and made motions to
the minstrel folks.
Oakland Got Bouquet.
Quick-witted George Gorman, one ot
the funny men. spied the dowers and
made a dive for the foatlloht.. if-—
getting the bouquet he marched over
to the official position ot Mr. Oakland,
and after bowing and scraping, pre
sented it to the tenor, while the audi
ence applauded. It was an unexpected
happening for Mr. Oakland, but he
accepted the offering.
The action of the usher caused coii-
sternatlon in the box occupied by the
'two ladles and tho little boy. The
dowers hod been sent by one of the
ladies, but they were not intended for
Mr. Oakland. Site did not even know
Mr. Oakland and was determined that
the bouquet should reach the one for
whom it was intended.
The lady disappeared from the box,
and with tears in her eyes, appealed to
the policeman who usually watches the
performances from the back row. She
was referred to the head tuber, who
listened to her troubles.
About that time George Primrose and
his dusky partner In an intensely red
dress commenced the dancing melange,
singing "Laxy Moon.” Amid the ludy’s
tears she was heard to tell the head
usher that the flowers were Intended
for the dusky maiden in the flaming
garb, Sam Marlowe.
The head usher, as an emissary, went
behind the scenes to straighten the
trouble, and with the assistance of Mr,
Primrose smoothed out everything. Mr.
Marlowe was put fn possession of the
flowers and their fragrance .was still
strong enough to convey Hie message
Imparted to them by the fair donor.
