How It's Done on the Stage.
Because, so it was charged, the stage
manager used language unknown in
polite society, the company headed by
Mason and Mason, presenting "Ru-
| dolph and Adolph," is short two chorus
| girls.
The young women, Misses Vaughn
and Alberta Sergeant, declare that
stage Manager Mack cursed them, and
| after the show at the Grand last
| night they went to police barracks and
| filed complaint. Two policemen then
ent to the hotel, where Mack was
! stopping, interrupted his pleasant
dreams and hauled him out of bed to
| face his accusers. Mack offered pro-
fuse apologies, and the girls decided
/ to withdraw the charges. They refus-
ed, however to continue their tour
with the company and are now in At
| lanta.
1t is said quite a row was kicked up
behind the scenes last night when the
stage manager sought, in words more
forceful than polite to administer a
lecture to the girls for carrying on a
! conversation which he thought was in
too high a key.

Company officers was held here this

soon be moved to Atlanta. 1t has been
known for some time that the question
of making a change i'm the location of
the companys headquarters was UNI
der consideration. and President
O'Brien, Vice President Plant and other
officials met here to discuss the mat
ter.

in camp at Wrightsville Beach last
summer, j. G. Shepard. Jr., a proml-
nent druggist of Wilmington, N. c., has
written letter to Gov. Terrell, asking
that he be paid SO. 20 He says he has
written to officers of the regiment about
the matter but has never been honored
