Alboni Cabal Prank and a Yankee Cow Tale
A colorful account recalls Alboni at Trieste sparking a cabal plot with a whistle and mock conspiracy, the audience flooding the theatre with cheers as she improvised and upstaged the ruse. An Irishman’s misadventure in America turns on “corn in the car” versus “corn in the ear,” provoking laughter at a farm setup. A brief Napoleonic joke describes French and Russian tricks at Sebastopol with rockets and drums signaling a panicked near-battle, ending with a chaotic but contained bombardment.
