But for sheer aplomb in time
of great stress, Broadway still
was inclined to let the laurels
rest with the late W. C. Fields.
One night during a performance
of "Sketch Book," Fields dashed
from his dressing room, shout
ing that he was being pursued
by "a mammoth garter snake."
He ran onto the stage and col
lided with a set of scenery. It
wobbled crazily for a moment,
then collapsed around him.
Fields stepped out of the rub
ble, stared at the audience and
then drawled, "They're just not
building these things like they
used to."
