THE STAGE HoLD-UP.

In a sharp denunciation of THE

German by Clyde Fitch, which is to
be seen at Memphis the last of the
week, the Commercial-Appeal sagely
declares that managers, who produce
lecherous plays, are among the loud

is true that the American stage is in
the worst condition from an artistic
point Of view in its history. 1t Is at
the mercy of gang of hold-ups.

ton; and. not only the patrons. but
the managers are their victims.

Should a house manager offer a sug-
gestion to the agent, he would receive
a sharp reminder to attend to his own

SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

The Rev. NJ. <. Dodj. pastor OF
the First Baptist church, at every
service tells some anecdote as a gen.
tie reminder for the women OF the
congregation TO remove their hats.
which usually are so large as TO OBJ
|struct a view for persons occupying
the rear seats. Usually a short story
OF the experience of some young man
is sufficient. and without the for
mality OF a request the hats begin
disappearing. DR.. Dodd was greatly
with the spring styles,
as ne expressed himself that some
relief might be given from the large
hats.
At a service not long ago the Rev.
Dodd told the story of meeting a
young man, who was a member OF
the church, in the postoffice. He al
vanced and inquired: 'Why is IT,
young man, that / have not seen you
At church for several Sundays? Can
1t be you have been dH?"
"Oh, no." responded the young
fellow. "You see have heard your
all right, but you could not
see me-"
"Well, how was that?" inquired
the astonished pastor.

Merry Widow hats was his answer.
