Show New Yobk is evidently a good place for men of good physique to stay away from in their search for employment. Last week the -man a?er of Booth's theatre advertised for "thirty tall young men," and on going to the theatre tbe next morning morn-ing found tbe entrance and street blocked by an army of 700 tall young fallows Most of them were respectable respect-able men out of work, while several were stage struck, and a few offered to pay for the privilege of appearing. What tho, manager wanted them for was to form the grand army in "Henry VIII." Selecting sixty of the finest specimens, he turned the disappointed 6i0 away, He put his sixty through a waikiog drill,, and finally weeded out all but thirty, who are said to be aj fine looking lot of young fellows as can be found anywhere: any-where: Thesotiro paid a mere trifle, barely enough to purchase food, but tbey appear glitd to get even so much. |
