Iliresums :hut nimt people who visit the

applied to minor and unstable theatrical
companies, but- l believe there lire very low,

term. and among evpn the present genera-

knows how the term originated.
It. was in the days when old Sol Smith.
dead and gone these many years, had a
strolling company which played in onlythe

Locke's original music, was a prominent
feature. But. the public proved unappro-
clntive, and the times were hard. Soon old
Sol and his company were at. low water

upon a plan. He engaged a countryman to
bring a strong wagon, drawn by a pair of
sturdy horses. under the window of his
room at. the back 0! the tavern at a certain
hour on the following night. The mem-
bers oi the company were let. into these-

in question they should throw the landlord
ofi his guard by assembling in the parlor
and practicing one of the witches’ choruses
composed by Locke for “Macbeth" and en—
titled “We Fly by Night," in which those
words are repeated over and over again.
Meanwhile old Sol and his most trusty
henchmen were to lower the trunks from
the window to the countryman, who was
waiting below to receive them.
This programme was carried out lotho

Fly by Night" for dear life in the parlor,
