Instead Of finding what Imagination had
always pictured as being underneath the

nounced by nearly every actor which visits
On ana TO be one Of the finest and c]osiest
music rooms in the country. The members
OF the orchestra were seated upon an up
Folstered bench which extends entirely
around the room enjoying a short rest.
Some were smoking pipes. others cigars.
but all were engaged in conversation upon
topics OF the day, the merits Of a particular
actor or actress. interspersing here and
there a reminiscence, a funny story or a good
joke. but the proverbial beverage vac miss
ing. This little den underneath the stage
Is a study indeed. In one corner sets a
large music cabinet. Here all the music is
kept and the collection contains the most
ancient and modern instrumental and vocal
selections, all the operas from the cias-
sic to lightest comic. In another cor
ner is a bric-a-brac case. Upon this is
a collection OF all sorts Of oddities. many
presented to the orchestra by different ac-
tors or actresses, and others collected here
and there by the members. From the cell
ing hangs immense Japanese parasols and
quaint Japanese figures with long arms, one
stretching up. the other down, supporting
| Chinese lanterns. The walls are covered
with portraits of actors and actresses who
have played at this theater since it was
built. and who have enjoyed the hospitality
Of the orchestra while resting between the
acts Of a play.
Among the photographs we're noticed those
Of Sol Smith Russell. Barnabee. Tim
Murphy, Frank Daniels, Robert Mantell. De
Angels. Otis skinner. John Burke. Mel
bourne Mcdowell. Digby Bell, William Nor
ris, Isadore Rush. Belle Archer. Modjeska
and numerous others, all autographed and
otherwise suitably inscribed. A large por-
trait Of Ex-Governor Boyd occupies a prom
inent position Immediately over the door.
Nearly every company that plays at the
theater leaves some curio for the music
room. When Archie Boyd was here with
shore Acres some years ago he extracted
the wishbone of the turkey, that was al
ways devoured in plain sight Of the audi
ence during the play, and mounting it upon
a piece OF brown cardboard. wrote the fol-
lowing verse underneath the wishbone and
hung it on the wall among the pictures and
other trophies:
I'm from the chest of the terrible Turk;
In life too strong to eat or work.
When | was spotted by Shore Acres "
troupe
| ran like mad for my little coop.
But they dragged me out. and, as you see,
They didn't do a thing to me.
The members of the orchestra take great
pride in the room and are always upon the
lookout for some new curio to add to the
large collection that adorns the different
shelves upon the walls.

seasons at the Strand theater, London, and
