It la o'shame that tbe count, boon! will not lis ten l" on r appeals ami give ns some Ira- tS tie most hock- pronmienu" The stupidity of un usher In handing a bunch of 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 team of the giver contributed to a tragedy en acted, but practically unobserved, at the Primrose's Minstrel Thursday. It all happened after the sweet-voiced tenor. Will Oakland, hud warbled the strains of tiuit old ballad. ‘‘Silver Threads Among the Gold.” Mr. Oak land liad earned his sulary for Thurs day and sat down amid the applause of the admiring audience. None applauded the efforts of Mr. Oakland more heartily than did two la dles and n little boy who were seated in one of the lower boxes. From their actions It was evident that they were more or less Interested In the program, and were awaiting the appearance of some one more Important than those already on the stage. • Tho serenity of tho occasion was marred, however, when, after Mr. Oak land had seated himself with that sat isfaction of a tenor singer having pleased his sudience, an usher tripped down the aisle with a magnificent bunch of flowers and mode motions to the minstrel folks. Oakland Got Bouquat. Quick-witted George Oqnnan. one of the funny men. spied the flowers and made a dive for the footlights. After getting the bouquet he marched over to the official position of 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. Tho action of the usher caused con sternation In the box occupied by the two ladles and the little boy. The flowers had been sent by one of the ludics, but they were not intended for Mr. Oakland. She did not even know Mr. Oakland and was determined that the bouquet should reach the on* 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 usher, who listened to her troubles. About that time George Primrose aud his dusky partner In an Intensely red dress commenced the dancing melange, singing ' Lazy Moon.” Amiri the lady's tears she was heard to tall the head usher that the flowers were intended for the dusky maiden In the flaming garb. Sain Marlowe. The bead usher, as an emissary, went behind the scenes to straighten the trouble, and with the assistance of Mr.’ Primrose smoothed out everything. Mr. Marlowe waa put In possession of the flowers and their fragrance was still strong enough to convey the message Imparted to them by the fair donor.
