An amusing scene in 1T Happened

as Hubert. and Irene Bentley, as his
long lost sister, are endeavOring to re-

The Crane brothers, famed in vaude-
vile as the creators of the Midtown
MinstTels," are this season also max
ing their farewell tour. having accumu-
lated fortune and a farm.
What's the use of working when you
don't have to and you have a fine big
farm like we have done at Syosset, L.
l., just a little way from President
Roosevelt's place at oyster Bay?"
asked one of the lucky Cranes. I'VE
have been touring the country now for
a good many years, have put some
thing by for a rainy day, and down at
our farm at Syossett we have gone into
the poultry raising business on an ex-
tensive scale. We are now raising
thousands of chickens and ducks every
year for the New York market, the
best market in the world, by the way.
We intend to take life easy and let the
chickens and the ducks work for US"
said Lew Crane of the humorous trio
in a talk on the stage at Keith's.
rs 1t true that we are great friends
of President Roosevelt? Well, I should
say We were. Every day this summer
that he came down past our place on
horseback he'd pull up his horse, have
a, glass of water from our fine old
spring, and talk to US about our pOul-
try business. And maybe he don't
know a thing or two about poultry as
well as about peacemaking-
The president is about one of the
finest neighbors family could have.
Why, we think so much Of him that
my little boy was born on President
Roosevelt's birthday the 9th, and I
named him Louis Roosevelt Crane, and
maybe that didn't tickle the president.

1t is declared by a number Of news
papers that the most difficult individuals
in this world to please with theatrical
entertainment are the San Francisco
critics. Arnold Daily had to submit 10
their diSpleasure as Mansfield recently
did, and just as Crane Drew and other
well-knOwn actors have on various occa-
sions. One critic, the dean Of the tribe,
was unable to find any merit in Days
acting until he appeared as Napoleon in
Shaw's play. THE Man Of Destiny" He
discounted his praise, however, by finding
fault with the young actors makeup
A few days after the article appeared
DAILY was a guest at a dinner ct the BO-
hemian club, of which the critic is a
prominent member. During the evening
Mr. DAILY was called upon for a speech,
and in the course of his remarks said:
lone critic whom you all know very well
singuIarly enough praisei my performance
of Napoleon, but censured my makeup
as being too homely. He said It was alb
surd when one remembered Napoleon's
physical beauty AS regards this I wish
to say that my makeup was copied from
a painting of Napoleon by Guerin. when
the famous soldier was a young man OF

and his face was long and haggard. Ma
