RO-DRAMA-GRAP
BY Frank j. Wilstach,

Dead heads should not look gift seats in
the springs.
In vaudeville. one good turn deserves
another engagement.
Admirers OF women should never over
hear two of them discuss a third.
A good cook should be a good shot, being
busy most of the time about the range.
The critic evidently considers the actor a
salt fish. He is forever soaking him.
Capacity to think rarely precedes the at
tempt to act.
The actor who depends upon the bar
room mirror for reflection will fail as sure
ly as water freezes with the slipper side
up.
The actor who keeps his eyes steadily
fixed on the three stars on a brandy bot
tie is finally convinced that he is one Of
them.
Why is 1t that our dramatists do not en-
ploy our critics to point out their errors
in advance Of production, and thus ever
avoid failures.
Fame, 1t is said, is a flower that grows
on the graves of writer's. The actor dis
covers by the floral alandales whether
they are dead ones.
If an actress Flows her hair to turn
gray, you may put it down that she either
has not the price or is a hundred miles
from the colorine establishment.
The number Of times an actress has fig
1red in a divorce court is no more an in
dication of her cleverness than that the
size Of a grave stone tells how big a man
Tas.
