THE MAN
Town
BY
Harry Tucker

Manager Charlie Rex is back, wo are
glad to say.
For with him back we know that the
Academy season is open, and We love
to sit in q fine orchestra seat ana see
whole lot Of pretty girls with rcd, "nlte !,
and blue tights on singing songs ana
dancing
An old graN- headed fellow like us can
only appreciate these things, and when
wo learn that Charlie Rex is back we
cannot help thinking Of him and our ola
friend Bob Golden, of Newport news. ana
how they were treated by tho countess
last summer as they sat out on the pier
mt Buckroe Beach, and .conversed Win the
moon and stare, !.
Anyway we are glad that Charlie IS
back, and we hope he will have gooo
season at the Academy, and he can't heil'
having good season when he has BOD
bic Watt with him as advertising man.
These two are calculated to pring nls
crowds to the theatre, and we are thrice
rlad hecn,,se we are not on the list barred
from the house.
We hope to be recognized at the door'
and we hone the Six Barefooted ones
and the Brown Eyed Girl Will receive
the same reception.
we have been reliably Informed mat
Charlie Mckee, manager OF the Casino
and the Bijou, has received the red slip
pers.
James Richmond Genroy got them
from the Economy, but they were LOO
small and Charlie fell heir to them.
Therefore. 1t Is to be presumed thne

Charles mustache!
flor two weeks efforts he found that
he could not do 1t.
He could not maintain the dignity that
was dropped when Jake Wells cut or MS
red mustache, that stuck out like bristles
on guinea pig
So he cut off tho few struggling hairs
that stood for dignity and now the only
man around the 13ijou that carries the
dignity Of tho house is John Denel' the
stage manager.
He has whiskers galore, all over his
face. and thus Is the dignity Of the con-
Germ kept up.
Admiral Porter took q friend Of his
named IIowle out in a buggy yesterday
to show him how an election Is conducted
in this section.
"You SEQ that fellow over there at that
bar with n crowd around him." said the
Admiral, that's a candidate. He IS cele'
bratng his prospective victory. He Is
satisfied that he going to- VIM and his
friends are setting EN- up. You 1sse
Billy Barksdale passed a law prohibiting
the use OF money by candidates in ar
| election. Now tho candidates. friends use
the money, and everything goes along
| swimmingly. &b
'.Those two men over there fighting are

Don't know what heelers are? why
| they are fellows who carry a precinc
| in their vest pocket, and can give It on
| to the man who gives them the best snow

'I'm a heelcr, and I know what Tn
talking about.
THAT fellow over there In tho bugg!

registered here, too, so no can help M

These are funny politics." remarked
Mr.. Howle. as the buggy turned TOWARD
