Florence Moore Hunts for Bridge Game While Waiting to Make World Laugh

By WALTER D. HICKSIAN A GAME OF BRIDGE —that’s what Florence Moore was looking for after she had completed her bedroom scene in “The Music Box Revue” yesterday afternoon. How do I know? AVell, I will tell you. I have always v'anted to be a “stage hand” so I “applied” for the job to Ad F. Miller. “"Where is your card?” asked Miller, find I handed back this nifty, “Always carry a deck.” Instead of being a stage hand. I turned out to be a scenery dodger.

-I- -I- -IMILLER piloted me back stage yesterday afternoon at English’s and turned me over to Irving 8. Carpenter, stage manager of the show. Miss Moore had just completed her bedroom scene and she was still in her stage “nightie." "Where is the bridge?” she asked. “What bridge?” asked Miller, looking at the scenery. “Oh, we play bridge just for fun on matinee afternoons between scenes. She cleared her throat and said, “I have a cold. In my throat. I took something for it. You know, one swallow and then you stand up in a corner for twenty minutes. If you don't die, probably the cold will leave.” After laughing at that one and trying to appear calm in my new surroundings, Ethelind Terry came up ■or her fan number. I have met Miss u’erry several times before. She called me “dear” and then left me with Miss Moore. “There is & beautiful girl,” Miss Moore said. Isn’t that too sweet for words? Miss Moore reflects the wonderful atmosphere back stage of “The Music Box Revue.” To go back stage is like attending a smart social function. Then William Collier came from his dressing room. Miss Moore introduced me. Miller called Mr. Collier “Bill” and “Bill” called Miller by his first name. Comer told me that he is writing a new revue for himself and for another player of note. It will be produced next season. Solly Ward landed on the scene and Miss Moore said, “Meet our Mr. Ward." While these introductions were going on a capaeitv audience was laughing and enjoying the show out in front. -1- -l- -IMISS MOORE trotted off In search of a bridge game and I was left with Mr. Carpenter. He placed me dangerously near the “main door” leading right on the stage. If some one had parted a curtain, I would have been a member of the company. And let me tell you that Joe Santley actually kisses Ivy Sawyer in the “Dining Out” number. Am sure of that girls. Why shouldn’t he? They scare married, you know. W When Rose Rolando came dancing off the stage, she nearly landed in my arms. I am always in the way. She turned to Mr. Carpenter and began talking. She was out of breath and used me as a sort of "leaning post.” “Oh,” she cried to me, “I—l beg your pardon, I thought you were Mr. Sa itl} e.” Gracious, ne'er in my life have I

wonderful. Really, one can just feel the brains in this production.” The audience didn’t know it yesterday, but P. Carlos had his breakfast while waiting to go on in the “Dining Out” number. His breakfast consisted of a chicken sandwich. I noticed one wonderful thing back stage. No one passed in front of me unless they begged my pardon. Eeverybody was busy, but they found time to be polite to me and to every one else on the stage. -I- -I* -IThis same politeness extended to every member of the stage crew.
