STORIES OF ACTORS.
The American Nat Goodwin was another witty actor. Arriving at Euston station after a short English tour, he heard a man at the booking olfice say, "I want to go to Rochdale." Goodwin remarked, "Sir, your're a liar—you don't want to —you have to go!"
Goodwin was a confirmed night-bird. One morning, having ordered well but not wisely on the previous evening, he went to the hairdresser's shop in his hotel to be shaved. During the proceeding he kept failing asleep, much to the distress of the wretched barber, who, at last, in despair, said, "Air. Goodwin, if you keep nodding off I cannot possibly shave you." "Can't you?" asked Goodwin. "Then cut my hair."
