Why this?
Had a young student of Fagin
walked alongside and slipped his hand
into the pocket? Had a wicked man
had taken a piece of wire and fshed
the half dollar out of the pocket in

with frightful ingenuity, cut hole in
the pocket?
Oh, no. The night before Mrs. j. c.

Passing of the Gallery God.

Has the gallery god passed into
history? Is the critical imp of the
upper tiers no more than memory?
Philander Johnson of the Washington
Star argues that he is, in Washington
at least. THE gallery god, that shirt
sleeved Jove who so often held theat-
rio destinies in his palm, like other
mighty ones, has vanished in his turn"
he writes. Where he has gone there
is no telling. His days were the stall
wart days of tragedy. He has forsaken
his old haunts, and should he return
he would find himself unwelcomed
and estranged. The patronage of the
theater is no longer divided within
itself on lines of social distinctions
The audience of a first-class theater
is now frst-class all the way up to the
roof. Young women frequently stand
in line waiting for the gallery ticket
seller to appear, and the floors aloft
which have cracked with peanut
shells, are now strewn with the para
fin paper in which one time reposed
caramel. There is a multitude of thea
ter patrons now who, rather than
see a first-class performance from
one of the less expensive seats, pre-
fer to attend house where an orcnes-
ira chair may be secured at slight cost.
Taste may suffer, but pride is salts
| fed. The establishment of the Belasco
theater in the place of the Lafayette
will mean no less than three first
class theaters in this city, while the
popular price patronage will be con-
centrated in the two already highly
prosperous houses that maintain a
low tariff. Unless the lines now so
sharply drawn can be demolished and
the amusement seekers who have
been accustomed to enjoy first floor
Accommodations at slight cost can be
wooed by the temptings of higher
art to accept less preferred places at
the same figure, it is difficult to see
how there will be enough auditors to
go around. 1t may lead to a consider
able REIMBURSEMENT Of playhouse con
ditions; but, whatever comes, it is IN
likely that the gallery god will ever
again return to his own Some day
tn theatric chronicler may even
doubt whether he existed. He will be
numbered among the myths"

Oscar Hammerstein, whose new op-

apropos of a certain joke:
THAT joke is far-fetched, very far
fetched indeed. 1t is as far-fetched
as the sign that a tailor once put up
in his boyhood home.
1.-THE tailors sign was an apple,
simply an apple The people were
amazed at it. They came in crowds to
the tailor, asking him what on earth
the meaning of the sign was.
''The tailor with complacent smile
replied:
If it hadn't been for the apple,
where would the clothing business be
today?'

INDIANS AT STATE FAIR,

Village of Wisconsin Red Men to be
Unique Feature.
One Of the most interesting and In.
structive features of the Wisconsin
statefair, to be held in Milwaukee
September 1914, will be a model In
dian village, composed of Indians from
various Wisconsin reservations. This
exhibit is being arranged for at great
expense and under the supervision of
a well-known ethnologist, and will
undoubtedly be the best effort ever
made in Wisconsin to show the Indian
to advantage and illustrate his manner
Of living, games, councils and occupa-
lions.
The Indian village will occupy
large portion of the beautiful grove in
the southwestern section of the fair
grounds, and will be free feature for
all who attend the fair. The committee
in charge of the exhibit proposes to
show the Indian as he might have been
found in the wilds of Wisconsin 100
years ago. Many of the most striking
types of Indian men have been secured
for the exhibit, and with will come
squaws and papooses. They will live
in their Indian tepees; the babies will
be rocked in cradles suspended from
the trees and the squaws will be busily
engaged in making Indian baskets,
stringing beads and following their
usual daily routine work. The Indians
will be encamped few days prior to
the opening of the fair and be lead
ing feature the entire week.
