HOW A WASHINGTON BOY
PLAYED TWO PARTS AT ONCE

A man in his time plays many parts.
but even when he an actor IL is not
often that he plays two of them stimuli
taneously. The record of Wallace
Worsley. Of this city. also a member of
the Checkers" company, is therefore
worthy Of note. once upon a time, when
Mr.. Worsley was newer TO the stage by
several seasons than he is now. he was
engaged as n member Of a stock COM
pany which played a summer engage
ment at a theater which was the chief
attraction of a certain electric road
terminal park. Business was not good.
Salaries began TO be in arrears and
finally several members of the company
left I'm disgust The remaining faithful
few had word of a farmers convention
TO be held in the city at the other end
Of the electric line, and they realized
that the play was the thing with which
TO catch enough rural dollars TO pay
their several ways home. On Wednes-
day. they decided to put Uncle Toms
Cabin on for two performances on
Saturday No child actress was TO be
had. but that was a mere detail They
borrowed a little girl of the Eva size,
and whenever she appeared on the
stage. she stood near the wings, while
some member of the company read her
lines, in concealment In her death
scene, however, little Eva had TO have
the center of the stage. Mr.. WOrsley.
as the grief-stricken father. knelt be-
side her bed and declared his woe in a
deep, manly voice. Then, in the best
falsetto he could manage, he delivered
the child's remarks:
Dearest papa" he piped plaintively,
''be kind TO Uncle Tom
My darling" he rumbled deeply
your wishes shall be sacred TO me-"
1t was a most effecting scene. There
was $500 and not a dry eye in the
house when he finished his duet. He
played Eva and Eva's father with great
success. All this. too. after he had done
the baying OF the hounds during ELIAS
