The Matinee GIRL

(The Matinee Girl will be glad 10 an
swer any questions. pertaining to theat-
ricals, asked her by her readers. All
letters should reach her by wednesday
morning In order TO be answered in FRI
days issue.)
Curious: Miss Reimer Of the Albee
company has very kindly supplied me
with the word OF the little song sung by
her in AT the White Horse Tavern" TO
which you refer. Through her courtesy
"A kiss is such a dainty dish,
The best OF all our food
It's not to eat, nor yet TO drink.
But, my! II takes so good"
"And when a hundred thousand words
Have vainly gone amiss,
Their meaning you can make quite clear
With just single kiss
And when you've said all that you can,
To the girl that you love best.
Just press a kiss upon her lips
And she can guess the rest"
"A kiss is such a lovely thing
II smooths the places rough,
The only trouble bout IT is
You never get enough"
NJ c. c.: Thank you for your kind
words OF commendation. / am glad II my
weekly column gives you any pleasure.
% Cosmetic Is what actors and ac-
tresses use for blackening the eyelashes.
II you wish, l shall be glad TO explain
In detail how this is applied. (2) The
rain storm effect. which you refer 10 as
used in AT The White Horse Tavern" at
Keiths a few weeks ago, was secured by
means OF a long pipe stretched from left
10 right in the flies, almost directly over
the footlights, perhaps a few inches back
of them. This pipe contains numerous
holes and Is connected TO the water pipe
OF the theatre. When II was time for the
storm the water was turned on, just as
an ordinary faucet In turned. and the
water Immediately rushed through the
holes OF the pipe as would be expected OF
any perforated pipe. A place for the
water TO run off was fixed at each side
not. as far as / can ascertain, a regular
member Of any OF the stock companies at
present located In Providence. He played
a special engagement at the Empire The
atre a few weeks ago, and Will do like
wise next week at the Park Theatre.
Idle Hours: The personal nature OF
your query makes II impossible for me
TO answer.
Helen: know OF no way that you can
secure the VI Atit uttiDcIc
OF the Albee company since you are un-
able 10 attend the evening performances
on the occasions that these souvenirs are
given 20 patrons. They are for sale NJ
Stands e. Brady's, and / should say that
this would be the better, II not tho only
way, in which you can secure them. l
think you can understand that 10 is sim
ply impossible for the different members
OF the company 10 give pictures TO
everyone who makes such request. They
would be obliged 10 be a millionaire 20
do this. In a recent interview which l
had with Miss Ingram. OF the Albee COM
pany, this little lady expressed deep and
genuine regret that she was unable 10
grant all OF the requests for photograps
she receives II would be impossible 10
do this TO all. so theatrical people think
n best not 10 give 20 any. / think you
will see the wisdom OF this course. (2)
