A PLAYER applied to the manager of a respectable company for an
engagement for himself and his wife, stating that his lady was capable
of playing all the first line of business; but as for himself he was
the worst actor in the world. They were engaged, and the lady answered
the character which he had given of her. The gentleman having the part
of a mere walking gentleman sent him for his first appearance, he asked
the manager, indignantly, how could he put him in such a paltry part.
Sir, answered the other, here is your own letter, stating that you
were the worst actor in the world.--True, replied the other, but
then I had not seen you.
Next: Soft Very!
