The American flag is long-suffering and silent participant to one of the cheapest fakes ever worked on the American public. Time and time again have we seen mediocre performers on the stage grasp an American flag and wave it to and fro and receive storms of applause because of the neat bit of triokery. But what are we, the audi ence, to do? Surely we must doff hats and cheer the flag whenever it is placed in evidence, and we have sat and ap- plauded cheap concert hall singers for two enoores when they worked the trick, though we all knew the singing was ssawfuL"
 We witnessed the trick the other day. resorted to by performer who has no excuse for it, as he is of great ability, but he could not withstand the tempta- tion of closing his ''turn" with deafen- ing applause so he played the ''Star Spengled Banner" and pulled an Ameri- can flag on the audience, and he got the hands-an of us-and then afterwards we thought how incongruous it was as the performer. with his little flag in his hand, could not speak English enough to tell what he thought of his reception.
 We love the American fae-in it's right place-but we resent being "held mp" by g person using it as weapon of persuasion, tactily demanding: "Your applause, or your standing as patriot "
 It's picayune practice for any per- former.
