Keep On.
Theatiical life on tour in these days' is not to be compared from the point o? view of adveniuro with that of not so very many years ago.
A company once halted in a small town, for one right only. The play was a melodr&ina, &$d as the audience didn't like it, eggs, cabbages, and potatoes rained upon the stage. f Still the peiformaneb went on. Tl*» hero raved through his endless speeches, dodging an onion, or an egg every other mrnute, and was pretty sore from those missiles that he' hadn't been able -to avoid. But finally a gallery auditor, in a paroxyrnr of rage and scoin, hurled a heavy boot, and the actor, thoroughly alarmed, started to retreat.
"Keep on playing, you fool I" hissed the manager from the wings, as he hooked the boot with an umbrella. "Keep on till we s^Gt the other one."
