Show FAY TEMPLETON. I A writer in Everybody's tells when Fay Tem- pleton first became famous. That writer does not know much. She became famous when she ap I peared before a Virginia City, Nevada, audfence I They had paid for paste diamonds for a long time, 9 knew they were paste, but wanted something, so I they made no kick, but when Pay came they knew I It was a Teal gem; and they approved of it, ap I proved in the old way by shouting loud and throwing half dollars and five-dollar pieces at her until the stage rattled like a hail storm. She has perhaps played before less mixed audi encee since, but never one that appreciated her half so much as did that audience, never one that I showed its appreciation as that one did, never one where every man in the audience would have been glad to have got licked in her cause if necessary, like that one. What is the cold approval ap-proval of the east to the irrepressible robustness of an old time Comstock audience's welcome? |
