not on this occasion unmindful of
his faith IN the principles of Elk

is having its weight and influence.

ated in the ritual and its obliga-
tions are from the highest concep-
tons Of life and its responsibilities,
Notwithstanding the aspersions of
ten cast upon the lodge. The obli-
cations are compact of the high
est moral integrity and honor, and
it is of these features especially
that our present District Deputy
lays the greatest stress.

REALISM ON THE STAGE.
And the Actor Made an Enemy of the
Property Man.

Speaking of the curious things
that happen to stage folks at times
reminds me Of q good story on Lester
Lonergan, the leading man at The
Audubon" said an old stage hand t.
a New Orleans Times-Democrat re-
porter, "and it happened ii; sp III To- To-
ronto a few years ago. Lonergan
made an enemy as the result Of the
incident, for the prop man never
quite forgave him for what he. did
on the occasion | have in mind. He
said it was bloody outrage and he
could not be convinced that it was
anything less than personal insult.
Lonergan was playing in DaVy
Crockett at a Toronto theater, and in
the title role. the same role taken by
him in Mayo's play here. You will
recall the stage setting in the second
act, the interior of the lodge, the
wolves on the outside, and SO forth.
The wolves stick their heads through
the little holes near the floor on one
side of the log hut. TWAS the wolves
that caused the trouble in Toronto,
although Lonergan never inte~ded
anything of serious nature. If I
remember correctly the wolves in the
play are supposed to be lean and hum
gry,@and hence ferocious and raven
Gus. But the brand used in Toronto
was the fercest looking lot of wolves
ever saw, with great big red mouths
glazing, CLASSY eyes, red tongues and
all that kind Of thing. The property
man had gone to great deal of trou-
BILE to rig up, athe collection. Of
course, there is tbthing to the wolves
used in this scene but the heads. The
heads are simply put on the ends of
sticks and showed through the holes
in the walls of the lodge. Lonergan,
as Davy Crockett, had made his des-
perate dash for the door in order to
keep the wolves out, throwing him
self against the wall and showing his
heavy arm through the wooden latch
in order to bar the door. CHANGING
down at the floor he saw the heads of
the bowling wolves sticking through
the holes. He wasn't feeling very
well. The red moths and the red
tongues aggravated Aim somewhat,
and he thought he would add touch
of realism TO the scene. Blazing away
with one Of his feet, and as hard as he
could drive it, he kicked at one of the
wolf heads. The head was crushed
like an egg shell. A few pieces of
painted paper fell over on the stage
near the fcotlights. Behind the
wings Lonergan could hear above the
cheers Of the audience a few sui
phuric utterances dropped by the
property man, who was in a perfect
rage. Pushing up to Lonergan after
the curtain had been rolled down he
exclaimed Indignantly: why, you
internal fool, you have ruined the
finest wolf | had' And he could not
be quoted. Henever liked Lonergan
much after that. He said if that was
realism he didn't want any realism in
his"

Secretary Shaw's long, swinging
