Only That and Nothing More The fat man was trying to find some tropical clothes in the Far South resort He tried most every store In town, and patient clerks had politely made a pretense of looking over their stocks and advising him they were just out of his else. Finally be ran across a cleric more truthful than diplomatic who—after looking him oreraald: -Frankly, mister, we carry nothing tn stock that would fit you, except collar buttons and handkerchiefs.”— American Legion Monthly. In « Nntshell The theater was tn an uproar. “They’re calling tor the author,” said the manager. "But 1 can! make a speech!” replied the man responsible for the play. The manager grabbed the playwright and impelled him along the passage. As be shoved him toward the curtain he said curtly: “Well, just go in front and ten them you're sorry.-— Hudson (N, X.) Star.

I TABLES IN SLANGf • n«as»—»■ By GEORGE ADE ■ f 2> Il / / I , A Successful Comic.

THREE DRAMATIC CRITICS MANY years ago, when Morning Papers were still published in the Morning and the Oyster Stew could be had for 25 Cents, there lived on a crowded Street in one of our growing Cities, three Urchins bearing the names of Patsy, Doremus and Filmore. AU had received a Liberal Education at an Early Age and could whistle through their Teeth without the aid of the Fingers. i Whenever this Trio could muster enough of the Needful they would pool their Interests and buy seats in the Gallery, for they were keen Devotees of the Thespian Art In those Palmy Days, when every good Play had about eight gallons of Blood in it they idolised the Hero whose Shirt was open in Front When he drew his trusty Rifle and severed the Rope, just as the Outlaw Gang was about to hang Hank the Trapper to the Blasted Oak, they whooped and yelled. They were partial to the low Comic in Plaid Clothes who stepped out from behind a painted Rock at the Critical Moment and flashed his 44 and said, “No you don’t I" Likewise the kittenish Soubrette with the Oakum Wig and the pallid Heroine who got aU of the Dirty Deals up t<J* that supreme moment in Act V when the Stage Father, with Flour on his hair, said, “Officer, do your Duty I" and a Stage Hand wearing loose Whiskers entered at R1 and put the Nippers on the Villain with the Cape Coat. More than anything else they loved the Sentimental Song which went over so big In the preceding Century. The typical Ballad was like the drip of Honey or the smell of Perfumery. It was rendered by soft-shoe Lotharios who were always referring to some Loved One who was reposing in a Bower of Roses listening to a Nightingale, which, unquestionably, would be the Acme of Bliss. PATSY THE BUDDING GENIUS Os all the Stars who twinkled in those happy by-gone Days the One that they were especially Nuts about was our old friend Billy Emerson. He had a silvery ipenor and every Move was a Picture. Often the three Youngsters would try to imitate some of the Footlight Favorites and especially that super-es-sence of black-face Refinement, Mr. Emerson Doremus was absolutely N.G. He had a voice like a Tree Toad and both of his Feet were Lefts. Fillmore was likewise a Blah, but when it came to neat Hoofing the one named Patsy Mink was the Tom-Cat’s Kitten. He was there—with Everything. He could do a Glide on a Wooden Sidewalk, without missing a Beat, and finish tn the Attitude of picking a Flower with the Right Hand, while the left rested lightly on his Hip, and all the envious Rivals had to admit that he was It Patsy had Theater written all over him, right from the Jump. When he was 14 be began to carry a Paste-Bucket and extra Lithos for the popular-price Temple of Amusement known as the Bijou and pronounced “By-Joe.” No longer did the Grammar School have any Charms for him. He began to associate with Stage Hands and was permitted to help with the Props and go on as an Extra in Mob Scenes. Nothing on earth smelled as good to him as Grease Paint and he never saw a real Trouper taking a Bow that he didn’t say to himself, “If I bad a Chanct I could show up that Ham,” So it will be understood that be was getting ready to be a regular Actor. It was a proud Night when be went on and did a Bit in the Afterpiece staged by the celebrated Knockabouts billed as Lennox and Mack. He deemed it an Honor to be hit with a Bladder by such high-class performers. His professional Debut was made doubly important by the Fact that Filmore and Doremus were looking down at him from the fifteen cent Seats. Not long after that be had his Name put on a Trunk and the team of Mooney

MORAL RESERVES In every department of life, physical, mental, and moral reserves airs of Incalculable value. Many people work so bard that they exhaust their physical energies each day. They make it a matter of conscience to wade through just as much work as possible every day, no matter how painfully it is done, not realising the tremendous value of keeping one’s self vigorous, buoyant and talcing some interest in material surroundings.

and Mink began to play the Honkatonks when they were not Resting.' Vaudeville was still known as Variety and the Headliners did not wear silklined Evening Clothes in conjunction with white Spats. To be a successful Comic one had to do Head-Spins and be hit on the Bean with an Axe, and the Artist who could not make himself heard above the Walters who were ordering two Scuttles and a Snit stood a likely Chance of getting the Air after the First Show. HE ACQUIRES A DEPENDABLE BLONDE It was not long before Mr. Mink was an adept at all forms of Brutality, could do any of the Steps originated by Delahanty and Hengler and was Dun and Bradstreet on Hokum, Gravy and surefire Stuff. At that time every Booking Agent carried his Office in his Hat and the Ghost often failed to walk but the Boys who could make good In the Beer Gardens received a Training which cannot be acquired in any School of Dramatic Art In billing themselves at the Dumps, the hard-working Duo often used OneSheets which originally had been printed for Booth and Barrett They Joined out one Summer with a Circus and sometimes gave eight shows a Day at a Museum. The Salary for the Act was whatever they could get and they lived at Hotels which didn’t have any Windows, but which permitted Guests to do their own Cooking. All of the Jumps were made tn Day Coaches. It was a hard life but fortunately there was a FreeLu nch In every Block. Just as the Sketch was getting Into Halls which did not have any Sawdust on the Floor, the Half known as Mooney began a sincere .attempt to consume all of the Hard Stuff being made at Peoria, 111., and the Specialty was a Flop, both in Chicago and Milwaukee, so Mink tied a Can to the Bar Fly and took his Life in his hands by trying to do a Single Turn in One at an Amusement Park in St. Louis. He went off every night without a Hand so he got busy and dug up a dependable Blonde who could do Straight for him and was satisfied to be a Feeder and had a set of Pipes that made you think of Melba. After that the Letter-Head was Mink and Madeline, guaranteed to be Good Dressers on and off. The Act was a Riot To avoid entanglements regarding a split Salary, Patsy married the Song Bird and after they joined the Hoop-La Buriycue Outfit he saw the inside of a Dining Car for the first time. After one season on the Wheel they were too classy for anything except the Continuous. They cut out everything that was Blue and began to cater to the Family Trade. At first they had to waste their Good Stuff on a Lot of empty Benches during the Supper Show but Patsy, now known as Herbert Mink, began to write their own Songs and had a special Drop painted and put the Bank Roll into a set oL Ziegfeld Costumes for Madeline, who* now looked 15 years younger than she did when he met her in St Louis, and the Big Time Office simply had to pay some attention to the Feature. Now they get a Hand when they come on and even on a rainy Afternoon, when the Customers are nursing wet Umbrellas, they are good for three Bows. If they get a bunch of Live Ones in front they may stop the Show. During the Lay-Off they go to a Shack at the Sea-Shore. He owns a Cat Boat and she is interested in Boston Terriers. It shows you what may be accomplished by an American. Youth if he ' does not compromise with his Ideals. Some one may ask what became of Doremus and Filmore, who were unable to master the Dance Steps. Doremus owns a large Steam Laundry which does Hand Work if desired, and Filmore is under Indictment in Texas for selling Phoney Oil Stock. MORAL: Young People were being uplifted long before the Movies Came.
