Willy TRANSFORMERS
TRICKS WHICH ARE PLAYED BY I'M
PECUNIOUS THESPIANS.


Gullible Landlord Into Car,p-Timely
Arrival of the Comedians Friend-The
Trunk Trick.
Any one who knows the look of the
transformer can tell him at glance.
It is the fine days that bring him out.
Little is seen of him on wet and rainy
days, but give Old Sol just half Glance
and YOU wonder at the array of immacu-
late linen, cigarettes and Prince Alberts
exhibited by these fly by night stars,
whose ways Of securing an existence are
as ingenious as they are manifold. The
men, with but few exceptions. are bar
hers or walters who do not work at their
trade, as they are either too light for
heavy work or too heavy for light work.
The ladies are as a rule the possessors
of good homes, which they desert to
follow their cherished calling.
\ company Of Keystone talent leaves
Philadelphia 10 play the state of New
Jersey. Their stock in trade consists
Of a $25 bank roll and several bun
lles-not trunks-of wardrobe. Ofcourse
they are in possession of their ability,
which is not appreciated by New Jersey
natives, and after making several stands,
pursued by angry hotel keepers, they go
ashore On the rocks, and with one &C
cord all noses point toward the Quaker
City. The ladies have little trouble in
securing transportation, as they are eX-
perienced in the art OF telling the con-
iuctors a story calculated to soften a
heart Of steel. They ride, and before
reaching the Delaware river have
''touched' the accommodating ticket
l,uncher for 3 cents each with which to
pay their ferry fare.
Not 50 with the men. as they care not
