Augustus Thomas, the playwright, play-wright, heard Mr. D'Orsay use it in conversation several times, and at last made bold to ask In what sense it was applied. "8pooflng," said D'Orsay, "my deah boy, well, it ten t slang, you know. It means, aw It means In America, you know, let me see oh, yes; talking through your hat." Tho humor of the reply Impressed Mr. Thomas, and so It happens that It has been engrafted Into the play-of "The Earl of Pawtucket" moat happily, as Harriet Fordyce will verify. LINCOLN J. CARTER'S BEST PLAY. "Two Little Waifs." comes to the Grand theater on February IS. 17 and 18, with Saturday matinee. |
