HER LIFE STORY.
WOMAN'S AGONISED CRY IN THEATRE.
"Stop! stop! I cannot bear this any longer." With this agonised cry a woman silenced Mr. Robert Loraine in the midst of his frantic outburst in "The Father," Strindberg's drama, at Everyman Theatre, Hampstead, London. She was a middle-aged woman, seated in the stalls, and her cry, one of the officials told "The Daily Chronicle," sent a thrill through the theatre. i She apologised to the management afterwards and said the play reminded her of something in her own life. "The Father" is the story of a husband and wife struggling against each other to secure control of the education of their daughter, and finally the father is driven insane.' Mr. Loraine'was forced to stop. Then from the front of the stage he quietly told the woman that it was impossible to finish the play there. After a break of several minutes the drama was resumed. The woman remained to the end.
