The stage hands didn't have a gun so they slammed a piece o lumber on the stage floor. The director was incensed, He demanded an explanation.The stagehands explained that they didn't not have a gun but would have one for the first performance.. "Well," the director said, "there certainly was no shortage of guns in Dallas" ? referring to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I thought the entire orchestra was going to walk out.: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Bill1941/GRAND+OLD+DAYS+AT+THE+OPERA/THE+SEAGULL+-+01459.jpg.html Gallery: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Bill1941/ ?Bill
