DANGERS OF WORKING GIRLS AT
THE GRAND

In this wicked world, with its mis-
cellaneous mixture Of people, the pit
falls that confront the working girl in
her struggle for her daily bread are
many. She daily meets with tempta-
tions OF all sorts, and the girl who is
able to laugh at or frown upon all the
snares cast in her honest way is GER
tainly the marvel of her sex. When
A II. Woods first produced the four
act play, Dangers of Working Girls"
which will be the attraction at the
Grand this week commencing with a
matinee today at 2:30, some critics
thought that the acme of exceptional
realism on the stage had been reached.
and that dramatic license had been
perilously encroached upon. Numer-
Gus predictions were made for the play
with such delicate theme.
But Mr.. Woods, so his press agent
says. knew what he was about, and
bade his detractors wait.
A playwrights first aim is to reach
the hearts of his auditors. II he can
do this, he has solved the first prob
lem of successful dramatic compost
ton. Careful drawing of characters,
comedy and practical construction are
next to be attained. and last, but not
: least, unceasing action is to be achiev-
ed. ALI these requisites this drama Is
said to possess. 1t is play that places
the mirror before nature in a manner
that reveals its weaknesses The COM

comes instantly apparent to those who
near the brass play the sextette from
Lucia" delightfully."- and harmoniously
accompanied by the wood winds.
Remarkable results such as these
are not secured in a day, and, to
preserve them when once attained is
no light matter. Eternal vigilance"
Is the only true secret of keeping up
TO its own standard so well balanced
band as that of Creatore. The bal
ance itself is arrived at by the utmost
care at rehearsals. when Creatore is
IN the habit of rehearsing each section
separately, even extending his atten-
tlons to the musicians individuality.
In concluding it is interesting to note
just one more of Creatore's many re-
markable characteristics, which is that
he never uses an instrumental score
except at rehearsals. Only when he
has thoroughly mastered a number
does he permit himself to play 1t in
the presence of an audience, by which
time the score has become unnecessary
to him.

D'oRSAY coLLIDES WITH LANKY
BOB

Lawrence D'Orsay, the star of the
clever satire. THE Earl of Pawtucket,"
is directly responsible for the sudden
admiration the Hon. Robert Fitzsim-
mons has displayed for things sar-
toriaL This sudden awakening on the
part of the discoyerer of the solar
plexus punch has brought the tailors
much wealth and D'Orsay similar an
noyance.
When Fitz was training at Benson
hurst last summer, he lived a strenu-
GUS life and paid but little attention
to his ratfnent. An old blue sweater,
a pair of trousers much the worse for
wear. and running shoes, for road
work, completed his attire.
DOrsay. looking like an English
fashion plate, was strolling leisurely
along Surf avenue, contemplating the
ocean view. The meditations of the
Earl Of Pawtucket' were rudely dis
turbed by a tall. lanky, red headed
man, much be-freclled, with three
days growth Of beard on his face. and
most disreputably dressed, who COL
lided with D'Orsay, nearly knocking
him off his feet.
The comedian gathered himself to-
gether. thrust monocle into his eye
and edgtng up to the prize fighter,
whom he did not recognize, declared,
by Jovei I've a Jolly good mind to
~
Cawn't you see where you are going
I'm surprised that the constables
should allow such a person at large.
oh. 1 say"
But the remark was lost, as F4tz
started a most elaborate apology,
which wound up with a plea that
D'Orsay would not strike a sick man,
who was following the doctors orders
and trying to get some ozone for the
benefit of his weak lungs.
A look Of pity stole over DOrsay's
face as he asked: Tuberculosis"
Hell. no. Bum lungs" was the an
swer.
The comedians fingers stole into his
waistcoat pocket, ten dollar note was
extracted and showed into the big
Fitzsimmons right hand, with the ad-
monition to see the doctor chap and
get some medicine.
A few months after the encounter on
the beach, D'Orsay and F'itzsimmons
were both playing in Boston and hap
pened to meet in the cafe of the Hotel
| Touraine. The man who had won
| fame as the Earl of Pawtucket'' wore
a pearl gray morning suit, a brilliant
waistcoat, red scarf and gray derby.
| He stared at a tall, thin man, who
was similarly attired. but who, de-
| spite the erectness of his carriage was
| plainly I'll at ease. D'Orsay inquired
VINO the tan, Ianky 1eIiOW was.
When the two met, D'Orsay started
and said. MY word, so you're the cele-
brated fighter chap?" One expressive
look took in the Fitzsimmons garb
| and said much.
NO." grinned Bob. I'm the man
you were going to thrash one day last

that $40 and bought this vest" and
| the coat was thrown open to disclose
| the exact counterpart OF the D'Orsay
| garment.
Conversation brought out the fact
| that Bob had secured the address of
D'Orsay's Bond street tailor, and had
placed an order that everything order
| ed by Lawrence D'Orsay, Earl of Paw
tucket. should be duplicated Rob-
ert Fitzsimmons.
D'Orsay doesn't know whether this
is compliment or not, but he has
