But the revue," as the performance was called, had been specially concocted solely to provide a background for the exotic charms of the black dancer, and without her would have had as little sense or attraction ás "Hamlet" without the Prince.

Accordingly the crowded audience who came to see Josephine, and for that purpose alone, were angry, and demanded their money back. In- deed, they were so angry and put forward their demands with such menacing words that the manage- ment thought compliance was the wisest polley. But it was long after the police had arrived in formid- [able force that the waves of ex- citement subsided and this street outside the theatre was cleared of the agitated groups.

The story of the injured foot might, of course, have been true, but evidently it was not. Ap- parently the cause of the hitch was a financial one. The dancer's original engagement terminated on the previous Sunday evening. She agreed to prolong it, but in the very midst of the performance aome dispute arose as to the 250 which she was to be paid for each of her additional performances. As to the course which the dif ference of opinion took, accounts [are not quite clear. But it finish- ed with the dancer hastly collecting her exiguous costumes and driving, off in a privatë car.
