SOME STAGE GOSSIP.

A studious correspondent writes to
say that Miss Anna Held was not the
originator of the milk bath. and to
prove this important discovery he cites
ballad of James Francis Child

that that unfortunate queen
fsathed her body many time

in vaudeville, and who years ago was
prominently connected with Denrnan
Thompson in 1.-The Old Homestead Is
to be starred next year by the Shu-
berts. Mr.. Cressy will appear in
play from his own pen. called "A VII
lage Lawyer" One Of his vaudeville
sketches bears this title and while the
role he impersonates in. it has been
elaborated into a play. the theme of
the sketch and the drama are in no
way alike.
Miss Blanche Dayne will co-star
with Mr.. Cressy. as she has done in
vaudeville in recent years. 1t is rather
remarkable fact that of the 126
vaudeville sketches now being used in
America, Mr.. Greasy wrote eighty-six
of them. Two of his best-known

STORIES BEING TOLD
ABOUT Mr.. COOPER

A man and woman are canvassing
this town in the interest of Demo-
cratic candidate. They make friendly
calls without stating their business.
They do not go together and they do
not always tell for whom they are
working. They call principally on
temperance people and they are not
such people as you would suspect be-
ing out on such business at SO much
per day.
The burden of their song is chiefly
what bad, bad man D. N. Cooper is.
They tell things about him that are
not true, chiefly about his connection
with the Order of Elks and the Elks'
Club.
The charge that has been made in
many places is that Cooper is chair
man of the refreshments committee
of the Elks' Club and buys the liquors
for the club" and other things along
that line.
Now, as a matter of fact, Mr. Cooper
is an Elk just the same as Mr.. Nix is
an Elk-and that is all.
He holds no Office in the club and
CanÌƒon City record. [volume] (CanÌƒon City, Colo.) 1883-192?, 1906-11-01

has absolutely no more connection
with it than Mr.. Nix has.
Sometimes when they think 1t will
do some good they tell how friendly
Mr.. Nix is toward temperance, how
he will support the temperance ticket
next spring and how he will use his
office to aid them in their registration
next spring-just how that can be
done, of course, they do not explain.
The work of these hired people has
been so raw that it Is proving a
boomerang for Mr.. Nix and is doing
him vastly more harm than Mr..
Cooper.
Whenever it is told in Florence and
in the camps that Geo. P. Nix is seek
ing the temperance vote in Canon II
creates a big laugh and is considered
good joke-on George. He is
known in those places and has never
| been considered "reformer" to any
considerable extent.
