Show Almost Accident. The following about Ida Adair Gilbert, Gil-bert, formerly of Logan, Is taken from a Cincinnati paper, and will, no doubt, prove of great interest to her many friends and acquaintances here. The article reads: "Miss Ida Adair of the Forepaugh Stock company knows exactly how the young woman feeta who was rescued by"Ursus"from the bull's horns Miss Adair got her experience Sunday afternoon, when the ilery steed which Is earning a living salary to cross the hot sands In "Under Two Flags'" got tired of his job and attempted to My, like Pegasus, over the heads of the people. In this scene Miss Adalrhas aa tremendous responsibility thrust upon her. She Is tied to the back of a fiery steed, and as the sandstorm of the deseret sweeps across the stage, she sets forth, willy nllly, on a Junket which Is no summer picnic. Sunday matinee, while the strong hand of scago setters were swinging the palm trees In Imitation of a hurricane, "Pegasus" struck. He started out over the orchestra, but was stopped by a violinist who struck the animal a blow in the face with his bow. Then "Pegasus," deeply stung in his professional profes-sional pride, tried to fly through a piece of scenery. Or, may be, being tired of the desert, he was making for a hand-painted oasis where the alfalfa grew.' In any event, the position of Miss Adair became untenable, and with great presence of mind she called for the curtain, which remained down twenty-llc minutes. Miss Adair was somewhat bruised, but continued her performance. Her husband, Walter Gilbert, like Sam Bernard, became almost al-most a hero In the rescue. |
