Baseball Magnate Frank de Hass Robson
was In town last week. During his stay
he gave a trolley party to his friends. Miss
Berri and Frank Moulan. one afternoon
All the Cave people were present and some
Of the Delmar principals. Moulan OF the
Cyrano nose is just as jocular OF as he Is
on the stage, and he proceeded to drink
all the fluids on board-just like I'm The
Isle Of Champagne" When 1t was all gone
he sent for more.
But this is the story: The drinks were
all soft; in Difference to Miss Berri. The
stopped at little wayside inns,
and drank hard things. Nothing
happened to Moulan. but Tenor Elder
thought he would have some fun.
Elder passed the word to George"
the valet. before the snow. Moulan always
suffers very much from those pestilent little
bugs that permeate the atmosphere at
night. They gather on his mirror. which is
right behind the gas Jet, and when he
makes up he can't see his face half the
time for the bugs on the glass.
The night after the trolley party they
paid their calls in droves. They came with
all their relatives. dressed in red. white,
green. blue. pink and in spots and polka
dots, and they nestled ahectIonately on Mou-
lan's Mirror and on his person. Every time
he discovered a new bug the funny man an
nounced 1t TO Elder. but Elder would al
oehy that there were any. Then
would appeal to George. and George
was blind
Moulan finally did not know whether soft
drinks had the same effects as hard drinks.
30 he decided to investigate those bugs. He /!
took them on his finger. and they were
genuine. 81. Louis bugs. As ne
did not know whether he might still be
wrong he poured them all down the back |
Elders neck. Elder convinced him that
they were real. |
Did you notice that little Scottish tile !
wore last week? II was funny. |
Miss Berri went downtown shopping one !
morning and picked IL up at a dry goods !
store. Moulan thought II was SO funny That !
he wouldn't allow il out Of his sight after
Il was brought home. He called IL a hit. |
and q hII IL was that night.
Miss Berri does most OF the shopping for |
Elder and herself. They live like |
! happy family right around the corner on !
Locust street. Moulan Is a placid, home
body. and Miss Berri entertains
many callers. |
That pretty song Elder sang last week Is
the Philosophy Of Love" and Was !
