Whereupon Molly o'Brien departed,
walking on air, and the army of Hard
Boiled Egg leading ladies had fresh
recruit.
The manager placed Molly O'Brien's
crisp greenbacks in his vest pocket and
rang the bell on his desk. The response
was another alteration, the entrance
OF the second applicant and closing the
door as before.
In less than five minutes applicant
number two left the managers office
with beaming countenance, and in
place OF the greenbacks just trans
ferred from her purse to that of the
managers was document admitting
Its holder to the ranks of Hard Boiled
Egg soubrettes.
In like manner applicant number
three departed to increase the contin-
gent of Hard Boiled Egg ingenues, the
manager having satisfied her that the
position ofingenuewas really finer than
that of leading lady without half its re-
sponsibility.
Meanwhile there had been anxiously
awaiting these results in an adjoining
room cluster of satellites without
which no Hard Boiled Egg manager is
worthy the name. There was the Hard
Boiled Egg leading man, the Hard
Boiled Egg villain, the Hard Boiled EGO
heavy, the Hard Boiled Egg comedian,
the Hard Boiled Egg stage manager,
the Hard Boiled Egg agent and half
dozen Hard Boiled Egg young blonde
general utility women. Applicant
number three had barely closed the
outer door behind her, when this host
swarmed in upon the manager. over
whelming him with demands for some
thing on account of salaries long past
due. Without the support of these sat-
elites the Hard Boiled Egg manager
would never be able to fulfill his des.

but expediency, that causes him to part
with considerable share of his newly
acquired capital on the spot, and for
two or three days thereafter this Hard

audience is not especially enthusiastic,
but on the whole the manager, whose
expectations were not exaggerated, is
satisfied. His trio of recruits have
learned to do approximately as they are
told by the discreet stage manager, and
as that worthy has invariably told them
to do those things that are calculated to
prove least offensive to the audience
leaving the more experienced members
of the company to furnish q sufficient
amount of positive qualities to convey

that the company will escape any seri-

While the rehearsals were in progress
the manager had booked a route Of
small towns-towns of the size where
one theatrical entertainment exhausts
the amusement appropriation for an
