Mcintyre and Heath played a weeks

in Buffalo some years ago with one of
the bad sketches with which they tried
on several occasions to replace the
Georgia minstrel speciality. After one
performance Mr.. Shea and the come
dams went to see a ball game a Olym-
pia park.
During one of the dull moments in
the game Mcintyre. who always has

that he and his partner put on their
old original act which made them ia

Concerning authorship. George AIDE
says:

Than the man who writes the book
For the burglar is 2 decent,
Self-Tespecting sort OF crook.
When they catch him with the goods
He goes to Jail at most.

Jess Dandy vOuches for the following
clever ruse adopted by an English pro-
vinctal manager some thirty years

this occurrence last summer on a trip
abroad. The scene was laid in a small
city that was sheltered in valley
