In certain country town in Kansas
the daughter of the Prominent Citizen
who owns the theater conceived the I
idea of making use of the stage furni-
ture when the theater was dark"
which, in country towns, is of course
most of the time. So she had the
stage ''parlor set" moved over to her
house. 1t is the usual thing: red che
mile pOrtieres, behind which the low
disclose his plot against the hero and
heroine, a number of formal looking
chairs upholstered in plush, and a set
tee on which all the parlor love scenes
are enacted. The fact that all the fur
niture is made on the slant with the
front legs shorter than the back ones
to conform with the stage floor only
adds to the novelty and her parlor is
easily the grandest in the village. OF
course whenever a travelling troupe"
visits the town for one night stand
she has to relinquish her furniture tenn
porarily, but aside from the slight in
caused by moving it back .
