A School Principals Nerve.

The man who probably deserves the
palm fer working a pass for all it was
worth is a principal in public school.
When the cyclorama of Gettysburg was
opened he, in company with many
others. received all invitation to the
opening. The card read 'Mr. Blank
and ladies'" The principal noticed that
there was no limit placed to the number
of ladies, and he invited something like
thirty female teachers TO meet him at
the cyclorama and enjoy the show.
They all accepted and passed In on the
one invitation.
One of the least effective methods of
gaining an entrance to a theater With
| out paying is the well-Worn eXpedient
OF asking permission to summon ply
Sician who is supposed to be within.
While the request is seldom refused, as
it is sometimes made in good faith and
is then probably a serious matter, still
the man who makes it Is watched
closely. If his desire IS to see the per-
Torrance he is likely to be gently but
firmly led to the door.
One of these frauds ran foul of the
sententiOus Ed Gilmore, at NiblO'S, not
long ago. He had just settled down to
enjoy himself when Gilmore tapped him
Oil the shoulder.
Have you found your doctor yet?"
inquired the manager.
No; not yet"
''Do YOU want him very badIy?"
Eyes. -
"Well, you don't want him rear so
badly as you Will if you ever try that
fake here again. Understand?''
He understood. and he walked.
There are times when the dead
head is willing 10 render some service
in return for the pass. Such eases are
generally found on the road. The head
walters of hotels have the reputation of
being inveterate applicants, and of
showing their appreciation when the
favor is granted. When it is denied,
however the actors may have cause to
complain of the service. There are men
who are willing to act as cOnfederateS
to magicians for the privilege of seeing
the show.
One of the most prominent of the
IlluSioniSts is noted for his Willingness
to accept such offers. AS soon as his
advance agent arrives in town he finds
several persons waiting fer him and the
appointment of rab5it-bearer. In other
words, they wish 10 be intrusted with
the task of cOncealing live rabbit
about his person, so that the ''man of
mystery" may amaze the audience by
producing it at the proper time. The
magician always has certain seats re-
served for such people.
The services DrOffered are however

Frohman and tIe ssDramatist.,'

Many good stories of the devices re-
sorted &c by these people have
been published, and some others,
equally good, have yet to be told in
print. Take, for example, that in which
Daniel Fr0hman figures. A man WHO
claimed to be dramatiSt requested two
seats for the Lyceum. and when asked
by the manager what plays he had
written, broadly limited that he was the
real author of the piece he wished to
see. Furthermore, he intimated that
an Injunction might follow. His modest
request being denied, he as mOdeStly
asked the why and wherefore.
"Ah, remarked the atfable FTOhman,
''if l gave you the seals you might
want me to pay your lawyers retaining
Fee"
Perhaps the oldest reason for asking
for complimentary tickets ever diScOv-
cred was urged by an individual at the
Fifth Avenue theater last season. Cora
Tanner was playing there at the time.
Her husband, Col. Sim, was on Brook
Ign ferry boat one day during the en-
gagement. A lady sitting near him was
taken i'll, and he did all in his power to
make her comfortable.
A few nights afterward young man
called at the Fifth Avenue theater and.
introducing himself as the husband of
the sick woman, proceeded to thank the
colonel for his kindness. In conclusion
he volunteered the cheerful information
that his life partner had completely re-
covered, and was yearning to see Miss
Tanners new play. Would the colonel
kindly let him have two seats for Thurs
day night? The manager was really toe
full for utterance at the display of such
gratitude. He was SO unnerved he

The Managers Revenge.

But he is a marked man from that
moment. 1t is extremely probable that
he will be pointed out TO the dOorkeep-
er, who is told never TO permit him to
enter again unless he presents a ticket
whose signature may be upon any pass
he may tender, it must be refused.
Such, offensive specimens of the free
ticket fiend are happily not numerous,
but the deadhead of the ordinary type is
unquestionably growing numerically
stronger every season. He flourisheS
like the green hay tree in New York.

Why Theater Managers Re-
fuse Their Own Passes on
Occasion.
Heroic Treatment Sometimes
Applied TO Certain Shrewd
individuals,
Who Manage, in Spite Of Man
agerial Refusals, to Obtain
Tickets.

It is seldom that a door-keeper at a
tEeater refuses absolutely to honor a
pass signed by his employer, says the
New York Recorder. But guardians of
play house portals nave been known to
do it. Nor did they receive so much as
a reprimadd for VIII at looked like high
handed assumption of authority. In
deed, they would have got into trouble
if they had not refused the managers
passport.
OF course, they acted under orders.
There are dead-headS with whom the
quest for seats becomes such mania
that heroic measures must be adopted
to suppress them. Like Richelieu. they
believe that there should be no such
word as fail. Their persistency is only
eQualled by their ingenuity in attaining
their end.
When refused by the manager of the
theater they appeal to the manager
of the company playing at the
house. In case the latter is also un-
responsive. they poster some profess
sional, or a newspaper man, or any one of
the various persons to whom the cour-
tesies of the house are extended. This
type of uead-head has casual acQualnt-
ance with any number of persons con-
nected more or less with theatrlcals, and
he is apt to secure the tickets desired by
imposing upon the good nature of one
| of these.
Having obtained the coveted bit of
paper, he is apt to walk in with the air
of a conqueror, laugh eXultingly at the
manager who refused him. and show
by his actions generally that he glories
in having gained free entree despite my
lord cardinal.
AS may be imagined, that sort of
thing is extremely pleasant for the
manager. He fairly dances with de-
light, but he cannot show the dead-head
just then how overj0yed he is. lie
might become too demonstrative and
create scene, and scenes at a first-clasS
tbeater are confined strictly to the
stage. They are out of place in the
| foyer or auditorium. So the eXultant
dead-head marches in.unmolested.

SAFE-BLOWERS
GET IN THEIR WORK AT ROSWELL.

On Monday night of last week
safe-blowers visited Mr.. S. Crow
ley's store in Roswell, in this coun-
ty, and from their work they evil
IDENTIFY were professional burglars.
They broke open the store, and
then proceeded to drill two holes
through the top of his iron safe.
They put powder in the holes and
blew the safe door of of its hinges.
The door was also blown through
the railing in front of the safe, across
the store. The thieves got about
three hundred dollars in silver out
of the top drawer OF the safe. A
lower drawer contained over one
thousand dollars, which the burglars
failed to get, as the drawer had an
extra combination on it, made of
chilled steel. This money belonged
to Maddox Il Rucker, Oh Atlanta.
The $500 in silver belonged to Mr..
Crowley. The thieves also carried
Oh all the valuable jewelry out Of
the show case and all the silk hand.
kerchiefs in the store. 1t is heavy
loss to Mr.. Crowley, and it is hoped
some clew will lead to the detection
and arrest of the perpetrators.

The merchants of Elberton have
