Show THE A0TBES3 TS0USEB3. Incident In the . Early Professional Experience of a Vienna Favorite, Frauleln Helene Odilon, a Vien nose actress, relates in the Neue ac-- f Wiener Journal a - very-dr- oll tount Of the somewhat unusual events that preceded her engage ment at the Berlin Court theatre. I was engaged, sl?e says, .at the SmrPavilion theatre. The' him peror William I. had arrived as usual at his favorite watering place and was to visit the theater for the first time that evening. The com-ed- y of -- Groszenwahn, by Julius Rosen, was to be performed, and my part was that of a boy Conrad ; by name a saucy, elegant youth of some .15 years of age. - Everyt thing was ready only half an ' hour remaining before the rising of the curtain save that the woman had not yet arrived" who was to bring, my wardrobe, containing (Conrads suit, for which I had been specially measured. Messenger after messenger was sent to inquire after the woman; she had, it ap peared, already set out with the basket half an hour previously, but was nowhere to be found. What was to be done? The theatre was filling another quar ter of an hour passed the emperor might arrive at any moment, and I was still without my unmention '- ables. The stage manager, however, got a coat fitted, for me, which he fortunately found in the wardrobe. 1 stood there properly made up as Conrad, but really only half dre38 ed in an ample, flowing mantle, anxiously waiting for my fine boys suit. In ten minutes the curtain would rise. The old valet of the emperor had indeed just entered the theatre to arrange the seat on which the venerable monarch was wont to sit, and to make quite sure that it had been placed in the exact angle the emperor was used to. Everything was, in fact, ready except my self. At this moment of great anxiety as the manager waB peeping through a rent in the curtain, he spied a youthful attendant attached to the theater. - The youngster . . animited by curiosity, was leaning against the door in the endeavor to Obtain a look behind the scenes. To make a dash at the boy, seize him by the wrist and drag him behind the curtain was the work of a Undress! shouted the moment. answered the What? managef. Undress!

You surely do not propose to keep the emperor waiting off with them! cried the Yes, if I must attendant; but the manager, with- out allowing him to finish, had already dragged off his coat. You must just nothing, interrupted the manager. .Pull off your trousers quickly. When the emperor is waiting and your trousers are wanted you cannot be allowed to have a say in the matterl Meanwhile the manager and dresser had torn off the poor lads waistcoat, jammed him down upon a seat, and each seized a leg of the trousers, the attendant protesting the while. 4How can 1 wait on people without trousers? I cannot go into the bar and serve. No, cried the manager, that would attract attention. Here, wrap this mantle around you. " ' , Snatching the unmentionables out of the managers band, I quickly slipped into them under cover of my mantle. I threw the mantle to the boy, and the manager hastened away to reoeive the emperor. ' The curtain was lifted punctually, and, forgetful of my tight pants, I rushed on the stage,' Pews paper in hand.

Scarcely were these words spok en when my g&se wandered to the occupants of the stalls. The em was laughing loudly, every Ceror laughed, the heads of the ladies disappeared behind their fans, and I heard them tittering. What can be the matter?., thought I, and continued my speech. Openly will I stand before Teresa.1 The werds Openly will I had scarcely left my lips when a peal of laughter greeted me. I felt instinctively that the eyes of the eyes of the spectators were fixed on a certain part'Of my person. I their looks. Goodness raciousL Terrified and, ashamed, covered my face with my hands and rushed off the stage. The trousers had split! . I rushed weeping to the dressing room, feeling humiliated, and unwilling to return to the stage. The dresser secured together the unfortunate rent in the garment, while I wrapped a waterproof, lent by one of the other actresses, around me. Sobbing bitterly, I called out that I should never get over the disgrace of this affair. The manager entreated, insisted, that I should resume my part; the emperor was in the theater. That is just itt I said. I am overwhelmed with shame. While they were standing around me and encouraging me to persevere, some one knocked at at the door. May I be permitted to enter? asked a voice. On behalf of bis majesty, I wish to speak to Fran-leiOdilon It was the adjutant of the emperor, Count ' Lehndorf. I opened the door. Worthy lady, his majesty hopes (hat the misfortune has been remedied and that you will again resume yoar part. Meanwhile the basket with my wardrobe had arrived,' I quickly dressed and proceeded to appear once more on the stage. I was the very heartily greeted, emperor himself leading the applause. Next day, passing through the hotel, I met the emperor. He spoke to me, saying: 1 trust you have recovered from your exertion of yesterday. I thank you for accesding to my request.
