Looking back
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
A yawn that started last evening in one of the dressing rooms at the Mystic Theatre ended on the operating table at the Central Maine General Hospital. The leading character in this spectacular performance was Miss Retta Murray of Everett, Mass.
Miss Murray was waiting to go on for the second performance. She was tired and seated on a trunk in the dressing room. She stretched her arms behind her head and indulged in a self satisfying yawn. To her horror and amazement she was unable to close her mouth.
When the seriousness of the situation was seen a physician was summoned. He advised sending her at once to the hospital, and still yawning, the young lady was placed under the influence of ether and her jaws were snapped back into place.
