ON WOULDBE ACTORS
By HUGH McHUGH
GBORGB v. HOBART
"wouLD-BB ACTORS. .

Tommy Harper isn't a bad sort, but
he has bug that he was put in this
world for the purpose of elevatlng the
stage.
Tommy thinks he could rush on
and play Richard the Third to such
an extent that the audience would rise
up and carry him out on their shoul-
ders.
Perhaps they would--dead
Tommy thinks that with his voice
he could make Jean de Reszke's notes
look like bunch of bad money.
He's out to bet a couple of seven
dollar bills that he has Herbert Kelcey
famed to finish, and that when 1t
comes to comedy Francis Wilson and
jeff DAngelis aren't visible on the
shell road.
He says that if ever he can break
into play with Mrs. Leslie Carter
he'll turn such a warm pair of goo
goo eyes on her that somebody will
have to get up and yell for the fire
department.
But Tommy can't make good with
his shape.
He's as broad across the bosom as
Col Jack Carter.
In the love passages his embonpoint
would set him back about three feet.
He can wear a full dress suit all
right, but after it's set he looks like a
load of new-mown hay.
Tommy belongs to the Ancient and
Honorable Order of Tack Hammers.
He always knocks in lady-like
way, and his remarks don't register
once in ten.
He likes to go to theater and
squirt verbal seltzer water all over the
place.
His language is all fine and daisy,
but when he turns ON the loud pedal
he sounds like a dog locked up in the
barn.
He is one of those dubs who thinks
he's missed his calling, and, no doubt,
his calling has been shaking hands
with itself ever since because he
missed the boat.
I've known Tommy for long time,
SO he feels free to read his dope to
me.
Every time new book comes out
Tommy wants to get it dramatized
and star in it.
He tried to get Janice Meredith" /"
but Frank Mckee cut across lots and
headed him off.
Tommy had an idea that if the part
of Washington crossing the Delaware
in Janice Meredith" could be fat
tened up with a couple of topical songs
and a comedy bit, he'd be aces for the
road.
He says that If he had seen David
Harum" first he would have made
Billy Crane look like a plate of cold
potatoes.
Tommy told me once that If he
could play the opposite part to Marie
Dressler the public would have to bite
its way into the theater.
He thinks he has Pete Daley down
with both shoulders on the carpet.

Smashing the Powder Trust.

The next trust that the government

big stick Is the powder trust.
Smashing powder trust may look
easy to the philosopher who sits around
the livery stable and settles the affairs
of state without charging cent, but
the man who Is called on TO do the job
has to be mighty careful If he cares
to have his parts all assembled in one
county after the smashing is over.
A wise man will study around until
he finds some way to do the job over
the telephone.
