Show Shot With a Knife. Years ago in a stock performance of a famous old melodrama, the villain, Charles Wolcott, suddenly discovered that he had left his revolver in the dressing room. In much confusion, ho fumbled in his pocket and found a penknife which, he figured, would do just as well for the bloody deed. Imagine his consternation when, after plunging the blade Into the hero's breast, that player failed to change his lines and screamed at the top of his voice: 'Heaven forgive you! I'm shot." |
