When the Foxy CUTLER ar

en-, the star, and Ado1ph link, hap
pened to enter the hotel together.
Golden is a mar of medium height,
while link stands only three feet nine
inches in his shoes. being the famous
%lilliputian comedian.
The clerk, looking down at link, took
him for Golden's son.
your rate will be as usual, Mr.. Gold
en-" said the clerk, but we won't
charge anything for the boy"
link, being thirty years old and just
like any other man except for his
height, was furious. But before he
could utter q word Golden saw q
splendid opportunity for a practical
joke. That's very kind of you," he
said. Come, sol we'll go up to the
room"
i instead Of making a fuss walk
ed off with Golden and bided his time.
That evening when the clerk had
"tumbled" to the little mans identity,
he started to apologize, but link
wouldn't let him talk at all and went on
occupying the same room as Golden.
At the end of the week the clerk hand
ed Tin his bill. Then the little man
handed 1t back with the remark: ooh.
no, that isn't mine. Papa will pay my
bill" The tables were completely turn

of links board for the entire week.

Hence it was no surprise to hear
that Leo Dietrichten's new play, which
was produced in Washington last week,
has an act laid in the palm room OF
the Waldorf. On Feb. 2, as already
announced in this column, a new play
by Augustus Thomas will be seen at
the Madison Square theater, all three
acts Of which are laid in the Waldorf,
progressing from the Turkish room,
through the ain room, up to a private
suite. Thomas seems to have done a
more thorough job, but he can hardly
maintain that he is the original drama
tizer Of the TenderIoin. The really
surprising part of the coincidence is
that there are but two plays concerned
in it.-New York Tribune.
Miss Blanche Walsh had a sad ex-
perience this week which has almost
rectfOn," says the New York CORE
spondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
All her gowns were ordered by Oscar
Hammersrein, except the one she Is to
wear In prison., where. after her con-
victfOn for murder, she is waiting to
be sent to Siberia. Miss Walsh deter
mined to get this gown herself, and
decided that it must be really and truly
Russian. She wandered over to the
Lower East side and, after a couple
of days Of patient search in the Russian
quarter, finally found exactly what she
wanted. 1t was long and loose, aud
locked like a cross between a raglan
and a horse blanket. 1t was worn at
the seams, some of the buttons were
missing, but, best of all, it was much
stained and delightfully."- dirty. Miss
Walsh induced It's owner to bring 1t to
her h following day on the promise
of a much better dress and a sum Of
money. Bright and early the woman
came with the precious dress, care
fully wrapped in an old sheet. Miss
Walsh could hardly restrain her I'm
patience, put she CAV a Shrek of dis
may when IN opening the bundle she
discovered that the gown had been
carefully washed and ironed.
Clyde Fitch's leap into the writing
of musical comedies is said to be due to
the fact that he has been less success
full this year than ever. In many
cases his satire has been wasted in
lines, and the cry has gone out tina
the work was old and the jokes thread
bare, say the New York Daily News.
But George AIDE has proved that DID
jokes are as good as new ones whena
they have the g~rotesque settings and
airs of a musical comedy.
"The Frisky Mrs. Johnson will be
the last Fitch play to be produced
this season.
Grace George began her Western tour
in Pretty Peggy" a new play by
Frances Aymar Mathews, in the pres
ence Of a large audience Monday night
at the Chicago Grand opera house. The
piece concerns the early portion of the
life of Peg Wellington, a mere slip of
an Irish girl, who brought all London
to her feet at Coyent Garden theater.
Romantic interest Is derived from the
unfortunate love of Peg for David
Garrick, and the strongest scene in the
drama is reached when the actress
discovers his infidelity and, although
attired for her wedding, turns him out
of her house. This Is followed by a
truly sensational noyelty-an episode
supposed to occur on the stage at Co
vent Garden n requiring the services
of a mob of over a hundred people In
the body of the house.
