Sam Bernard Says They Make a Fine
Audience, But They Can't
Appreciate a Joke.

In an interview in the Theater
Magazine Sam Bernard gives his
opinion of women as keen appre-
ciatOrs of subtle humor. Says this
well-knOwn comedian;
Lady audiences are all right,
but the humor has to be made sim
pie for them. There has been a
good deal of talk about horse play
in theateFs. Does It surprise you
that most of the horse play is for
audiences of the fair sex? It's true.

NOR women have to be helped to
laugh by the most obvious means.

dence that seemed hopeless. We
did our best to make them laugh,
but we didn't get a smile. Every

ELEVATOR IN SWITZERLAND
Writer Tells Of Hotel Appointments
Which One Must Face in Tour
of the Country.

There are many hotels in the En-
gadine region, writes jerome Hart
from Switzerland, from modest
"pensiOns," where German prOfes
sOrs and their wives abound, to
the gorgeous caravansaries of st.
MOritz, which are densely pOpu-
lated with rich Americans. At
st. MOritz the railway stops and
further up the valley you must
travel by diligence. There III sew
eral hotels around the Maloja
pass, and at one of these we put
up. When we entered the gOr-
geOus hallway of the hotel the
manager and his miniOns saluted
us effusively and at once started
to show us to the rooms which we
had engaged by wire. Three dap
per young men in frOck coats es-
cOrted us to the elevator and one
of them rang the bell. But moth
ing took place.
"Comment dOnc' c'What's
this?") said the ringing young
man, "1e lift ne marche pas ce
soir?" C'The elevator not run
ming this eyening?") Here a boy
stepped up and said, respectfully
"NOn, monsieur, il ne fOnctionne
pas &c sOir." C"No, sir; it doesn't
wOrk."D Another of the young men
then turned to us and expressed
his great surprise and sorrow that
the lift did not function that even
ing. The first young man added
that it was the first time the lif'
had not marched or had been out
of order. So as the lift did moi
march we marched upstairs our
selves.
However, the next day what
was our surprise when, a new
!. group of guests being escorted t,
the lift, exactly the same occur
renee took place, with exactly til,
same surprise on the part of ex
actly the same young men. W,

MODELS FOR PHOTOGRAPHS
Old Men with Long White Boards Are
a Popular Expectancy Pic
lures Out Of Style.

There are models for phOtogra.
piers as there are for painters,
but not all are selected for their
beauty, says the New York Sun.
"The pictures that the phOtog.
raphers are all struggling to take
now," explained one of them the
other day, "are those which afford
great opportunities for effects in
light and shadow, whichh used to
be impossible in the old-fashiOned
photograph. There are very few
subjects who come to the studio
who afford any opportunity for eff.
fects Of this kind.
$50 it is necessary to hire a
model when a photographer wants
to make a really striking picture
for exhibition. He picks out some
man with flowing hair and if pos
sible a white beard, as that gives
him a splendid field to work on.
If he is able to get a black.eyed
man with black eyebrows and a
white beard he is certain of get.
ting a very striking picture.
"Of course, with the model as a
subject he can do with it as he
wants. He can touch Up the
lights in relief and do anything
that makes his work seem more
striking. No other sitter who had
paid for his pictures would submit
to anything of the kind. The mod.
ell can't help himself"
Fancy photographs of a kind
popular some years ago have gone
entirely out of fashion. Time was
when a pretty actress with per
haps only her face to make heI
famous would be photographed il
all kinds of costumes and draper
les, but the kind of photography
that attracts most attention now
adays needs sharp contrasts il
color. Few of the models used By
photographers are professionals
Usually they are men with no occu
patton who are delighted at tn,
chance to earn some money.

MISTAKES IN U
Artist Depicts Abraham About to
Sacrifice Isaac with a Blunder-
buss-other Errors.

A well-meaning artist of the
eighteenth century painted a pic
ture in which Abraham was depic-
ted as about to sacrifice Isaac with
a blunderbuss. The actual event
which the artist has striyen to de-
pict antedated the use of firearms
by about 5000 years. There are
also pictures of the Israelites
crossing the Red sea, the men
armed with muskets and other
weapons of modern manufacture.
In the matter of costume the early
painters found a stumbling block.
In the Edinburgh National gallery
is a picture in which Pharaoh's
daughter and her ladies r ar
rayed in the long-waisted bodices
and hoped skirts common to Eu-
rope in the sixteenth century.
In another picture of the same
date, representing "JOseph and
His Kindred in Egypt" which is
| hung in the national collection in
London, there is no trace of the
distinctive features of Egyptian
architecture about the buildings
they are all Italian in type. In a
painting by Paola Veronese in the
same gallery, "The Family of Dari-
us at the Feet of Alexander After
the Battle of Issus," the women
wear pointed waists and enor-
mously distended skirts, although
the incident occurred in the year
1873 B. G. The artist was a Vene.
tian and he drew the Venetian cos
tunes of his own period, 1528-S8.
Raphael, like so many others
drew his Madonnas, his saints and
his martyrs from Italian models
and clothed them in contemporary
Italian costume, giving the figures
as a background the scenery will
which he was so familiar. 1t was
only when travellers anne to WISH
the holy land and saw the peopl,
there, unchanged in sentiment
habit and customs for centuries
that they came to realize that The
pictures were wrong.
