But he sighs for more daring deeds, and seeing a chariot standing by, gets in and drives off. Meantime the unfortunate manager of the theater, at the hour for the curtain to rise, has to explain that the leading actor has disappeared, and consequently there will be no performance. A small riot takes place in the theater, and the manager's exit is hurried by a rain of articles from the exasperated audience. The company set forth to find the culprit, and an exciting chase ensues. They follow up the Champs Elysees, where the leading actor has upset a hansom. Past the Trocadero they follow, and then around the Eiffel Tower. The actor in his chariot passes a level crossing just in time to miss an express coming along. His merry course continues, during which he upsets a barrow of fruit and many people. Ultimately, tired out, he drives up a passage, and there is captured by the company, to be fined £20 for his little escapade. Written by
