QUEER VIEWS OF STAGE LIFE
Good story illustrating the CONNER
elallsm Of American
Playhouses.

Ohice-boy insolence Is one Of the
reasons why the stage isn't as pleas
ant pursuit as.it used to be, accord
ing to the experienced actors, the
New York correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Times-Star says. Nowadays,
they say, "the theater Is SO thoroughly
commercialized that its chief figures
in management act and think precise
ly as they would If they were manag
ing sweatshops. And the art Of act
ing is itself in decline. One of the
reasons is the insistence Of the mod
ern manager upon the employment Of
types Actors and actresses must
physically At the needs Of the roles
for which they are cast, instead Of
making themselves over to At them
as in the old days."
However that may be, queer little
stories turn up every now and then
The other day q young woman, In
whose veins the very proudest blood
Of Kentucky and Virginia runs, ap

girl that succeeded her, and whom he
engaged for the "aristocratlc" role. In
the first rehearsal the little handy
legged manager interfered. He
scowled at the young woman and criti
cised her acting severely.
IVY" said he, "don'd efen walk like
an arisdOcrat. Re here. You must
walk like diS."
And he strutted across the stage
in what he believed to be an :"aristo
cratic" walk. The girl gazed at him
with all her innocent young soul In
her eyes. When he finished his pa
rnde he turned to her.
ooh, yes" said she, brightly, NOV

"A cousin Of mine-forty-second de-
gree, as they count in the south-was
rather deaf. This man-Tll call him
Allltson-was our Consul General in
Yokohama. One hot morning two big
Danes, American citizens, appeared
at the consulate. A Japanese woman
gathering unmusically along on her
clogs, walked between them.
"'Do you take the job to marry q
mRn?' asked one of the big fellows.
"'Well, hardly. said the Marshal,
who met him. but I'll speak to the
Consul
"'What dy' say? asked Bill Allit-
son, drawing his brows together and

married, do they? Well, get their
names and show 'em into the office.
Now, boys, just stop your grinning.
Jim Bates and l pulled as solemn
faces as we could and stood up behind
the Consul.
THE wedding party, very shame
faced, came rolling in. Evidently they
were seafaring gentlemen. The WON
an had wholesome, honest look, but
was no beauty In my eyes.
"'You are citizens of the United
States? questioned the Consul.
"'Ja, just SO. nodded the men.

on It.
"Allitson glanced at 1t, cleared his
throat, and read the first part Of the

"Allitson was one Of the leading
lawyers of his state.
"As we'll as we were able for roar

Your Honor said /, we claim that
this is case Of bigamy, as two men

"'Your Honor said Bates, acting
for the defendant, we would claim
that my client has not been guilty Of
bigamy. We admit that my client has
had two men married to her this day
but she has been married to only one
man.
"Allitson stopped grinning, put on
his most judicial look, and said in his
inimitable, ex-cathedra manner:
