Seven Days Ahead Dunn came to
town last week and brought with him a
dozen or more excellent stories on Stuart
Robson. in whose interest he is travelling
this year. According to Eddie. the gentle
man of the syncopated voice has had
many strange experiences during the sea-
son. and not the least amusing of them
occurred while he was appearing at Wal
lacks Theater in New York. Mr.. Robson
was walking down Broadway one after
noon on his way TO work when he was
stopped by a well-dressed man, who. after
looking the comedian over carefully,
stepped deliberately in rront of him and
began soliloquizing. Where in hell have
seen you before?"
Eddie says that his star looked aston
fshed for a moment and then remarked
bandly. Il don't know. What part Of
hell are you from?' And the stranger
passed on, while his successful antagonist
went into a nearby temple of Bacchus
and had a drink with himself.

Rather a humorous Incident occurred
not long ago while De Wolf Hopper was
touring the South with one of his earlier
successes. The elongated comedian had
arrived late at a small town in Georgia,
and. being very tired, selected the first
hotel in sight as his stopping place for
the night The building looked clean and
neat, though not too pretentious, and the
clerk who greeted him from behind
plain deal table inside did not appear TO
be gifted with any great amount OF IN
feIiect. Indeed. so ignorant did the boy
seem that Mr.. Hopper almost forget his
WEAKNESS as he sauntered up TO the
desk and queried if that was where he
was supposed TO autograph.

blankly.

tainer. ''autograph-sign my name. you
know" Given this explanation, the
clerk brought out his blanks and
The fnrrnalfries were accomplished. Then
Mr.. Hopper seated himself in a COM

cigar and was Just about to doZe when

There was a moments silence while the

Mr. Hopper says that the clerks good
humor faded like cheap silk but that he
treated like man and that his personal
share of the joke was not half bad.
