How London is Supplied With "eass.'

How London is Supplied With Gags" From the London Mail.
 As soon the pantomime season begins the "gag merchant will reap his harvest. For "gagging' is not always the spontane- ous wit of comedians who employ 1t. It ire quently happens that pantOmime comedian is music hall artist who has not sufficient sense of humor to make suitable gage" for himself So he calls in the gag merchant. The comedian provides him with a seat to view the performance and the merchant fol- lows 1t closely After the show Is over he and the comedian meet, and the gag mer- chant suggests funny things that could be said and done.
 For all the gags that are adopted by the performer the merchant gets paid usually at the rate of shilling per gag Having once seen the pantomime, the merchant is in a position to keep his patron up to date with gags right through the run.
 Comedians who are gaggers themselves frequently patronize the merchant when he has a special flow of side-splitting ideas and their own inspiration fails them.
 That some of the most successful gags are not the outcome of monumental intellects may be imagined by the fact that the hit Of a suburban pantomime last year was the reiteration of the words, "Oh, ain't it ''ot!" "a gem from the treasure trove of gag merchant
