WRECKING CREW TO DISPEL JINX UPON PLAYHOUSE Ancient Feline, Mistress of Theater, to Lose Gloomy Home, By Timet Special CLEVELAND. Ohio, July 10.—An ancient and nameless black cat — the last living soul in the gloom of the abandoned old Empire Theater at 730 Huron Road —is to lose the only home it ever has known. Within the next twenty days wreckers employed by the Ohio Bell Telephone Company will tear down the boarded-up doors. Then daylight will dispel the memory-haunted dusk within. AVhat was the impulse that sent Frances Stoekwell from her dressing room into the softly swirling snow—to death? What caused John Sullivan and Jim Corbett to vow solemnly they would never exhibit again in the jinx-pursued theater? Why did Jimmy Blaine and his long-forgotten “Paris Cuties’ leave in the middle of their run. cursing the day they hit the road from Allentown, Pa.—only to get caught in a train wreck as they sped back to the East? Why did McGowan’s gang raid the box office the night the house had the best run and highest receipts in a year? AVhat caused ticket sales to fall off —people to shun the attractions—and what caused the rats to abandon the dressing rooms—sure sign of impending doom? Omen of 111 Fortune Why was the building closed—and the entrances boarded shut? Prowling about in the litter of rotted scenery back stage and the tumbled fragments of broken furniture in the prop room, the nameless black cat pads its solitary way—caring nothing for the crowded pavements it never knew. Old-timers could tell you their guess as to what was the jinx that pursued the theater. Legends of vadueville and burlesque houses will be whispered—after you leave the dressing rooms—and without exception the tale-teller recalls a cat —a black cat—omen of all fortune. Ghostly Picture When noontide holds over Huron road the old cat sits on the molded velvet rail of the right upper box. The tarnished gold of the other boxes gleams In the dim. empty hall. The pupils of the cat's eyes grow large. It sees, dancing in the shaft of light from the broken skylight which throws its golden beam over the haif fallen curtain, forgotten burlesque queens of long ago. It watches the ghostly girls doing their turn once more—mingling with the gold-tinted particles of dust. ! Cheap and tawdry in the footiight glare of the ten-twenty-thirty days—they become airily beautiful as they dance in the shadows —and in the memories of the ancient black cat. Rustling fall Os damp plaster is the ghostly clapping of hands. The Fate of Frances

Sometimes on wintry nights it sits there —this omen of evil —as white soft flakes drift through the skylight. The anguished scream of a patient at the hospital next door sounds through the fractured walls. The fur rises stiff on the black cat’s back —and the memory of another winter night crowds into the gloom. The night when a scattered house watched Frances Stockwell as she smiled and did her turn. Behind her for the last time, the French Frolics flashed their legs in tune to the music. Frances rushed to her dressing-room as the curtain fell. The black cat sat on a stool looking into her mirror. She struck him —and he disappeared. Whistling Winds The wind whistled in the tiny room—and no actor permits whistling in a dressing-room. A.t the stage door, Frances stooped to pet the furry cat. regretting her blow. The black beast purred as Frances Stockwell went out. The next day they found her body in the snow—murdered. The doors are boarded shut. The curtain fallen and broken. The audience is walled out. Burlesque and vaudeville alike are shut off. But the old and nameless black cat still lives in the pit beneath the stage—still prowls in its nocturnal way. Now, it is to lose its home —crashing sledges of wrecking crews are to break down the doors —and break the long solitude the ancient black cat lived with ghosts—and memories. The Pennsylvania Hospital, in Philadelphia, operates under a charter originally granted to it by George 11 of England in 1751.

And you—O you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the. glad return— Think of him faring on. as dear In the love of There as the love of Here And loyal still as he gave the blows Os his warrior-strength to his country's foe*— Mild and gentle, as he was brave— When the sweetest love of his life he gave To simple things; Where the violets grew Blue as the eyes they were likened to. The touches of his hands have strayed As reverently as his lips have prayed When the little brown thrush that harshly chirred Was dear to him as the mocking bird. And he pitied as much as a man in pain A writhing honey-bee wet with rain, Think of him still the same. I say; He is not dead—he is just away. Garage Keeper Bankrupt Wiilia B. Fish.

SHRINER W IS GIN HOME Real Live Pink Pig Cause of Fun, It was a live baby—a baby pig—and the Shriners really gave It away at their circus last night. Mr. and Mrs. Harry O. Cohb, 3538 Washington Blvd., were the recipients and a tremendous crowd of interested people watched the denouement of the farce which haa caused excitement and protest during the past few days when it was expected that the Shriners were planning to give away a real baby boy. Charles J. Orbison, potentate of Murat Temple, explained his press agent, or the proof readers, or the linotype operators, or somebody, had eliminated the word “pig” in the announcement of the event. “Anyway, I’ve got to have an alibi and that’s the best one I can think of at this moment.” He explained that he had been the recipient of anonymous letters and telephone protests against the “outrage” of giving away a live baby boy. Mr. and Mrs. Cobb went through with their part of the ceremony as seriously as if it had all been real, it was stated. The little red-headed pink snouted porker was nicely wrapped in a blanket and wore a costume consisting of a pink ribbon around his neck. During the “give away” ceremony it contentedly sucked at a bottle of milk and didn't seem to give a pig’s grunt what was happening.
