Augustus Thomas is one of the very
few American playwrights who can do
himself credit when called upon for an
impromptu speech. Mr.. Thomas repu-
tation for speeches is, however, greater
among his circle of intimate friends thar
elsewhere. An old newspaper man who
knew Mr.. Thomas in Kansas City tells
the following tale illustrative Of this
point:
When the Warder Grand Opera
house i'll Kansas City was first built
Booth and Barrett were billed as the
opening attraction. The contract re-
quired that the theater be opened on a
certain day and heavy cash penalty
was provided for each days delay. In
spite of this the building was far from
ready for the first night. but to avoid
the penalty il was decided to open at all
events.
Fires were built in the basement to
warm the house, and a tarDaulin was
stretched above to serve as a roof One
set of scenery was all that could he
found, and at the last moment it was
remembered that speech of apology
was due to the audience

no disposition to prosecute the young man,
and Mr.. Mullowny read a letter he received
from Mr.. Bursdorf. in which the latter
said he was disposed to look upon Haney's

the steep sides of the bank and find their
way into the creek itself, filling up and
blocking the waterway. Besides this, there
is the annoyance of the dust from the pow
dered mortar.
