WHY HE APPLAUDED.
Bacon: “You know that part in the play where the man seizes the woman forces her into a cupboard and turns the key on her?” Egbert: “Yes, I remember it.” “Well, last night a fellow in the audience applauded it so that they had to put him out.” “I don’t think there is anything to applaud about that part of the play.” “Oh, but it turned out that the fellow applauding was the husband of the actress, and it was the first time he had ever seen anybody shut her up.”
