Show Leaving a Noisy Lcgaty. "I once rehearsed a super in Philadelphia Philadel-phia who bored me nearly to death by tales of his ability to play the cornet. He was wildly desirous that I shoulu listen to one of his fantasies, and I consented, con-sented, making an appointment at my hotel for the following Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. He came promptly to my room at the stipulated time. I might mention that I was to leave town at 10:30 o'clock, and my baggage had been sent to the train. I told the cornetist to station sta-tion himself at the end of the long corridor cor-ridor so that I could get the full effect o the music. "He asked me what he should play, and I suggested that he should touch off 'Where Did You Get That Hat? He went totheendof the corridor, and he did touch it off with a vengeance. I jumped into the elevator and made for the office. of-fice. The clerks were wildly excited. 1 suggested that a bell boy be dispatched to the floor to investigate. As the entire force disappeared upstairs I rushed for a cab, and as we drove off I could still hear that infernal cornetist grinding out Where Did You Get That Hat? "-Buffalo Courier. " |
