WANT TO SEE LAMBS GAMBOl
LOCAL FOLKS PAY HIGH PRICES
AT AUCTION SALE OF SEATS.
Harry Norment Parts With 1925 for
First Choice Of Box-Actors
as Auctioneers.

Headed by two native Washingtonians.
several prominent actors, all members Of
Tie Lambs Club, appeared on the stage
of the National Theater yesterday after
noon, as auctioneers, and sold all the
boxes and a number Of the seats for
the coming gambol Of The Lambs, in the
same playhouse, next Thursday after
noon.
The chief auctioneer. although he
claimed to know nothing of the bust
ness. was Wilton Lackaye. The other
Washingtonan was Nat Wills. Their
collaborators were John Mason, whose
pleading. lachrymose tones, Lackaye
the chiefs jollying. Mason said he
knew less about auctioneering than
Lackaye. which was an awful statement
to make. but he had TO make ii, and
proved the truth Of the assertion right
off the reel by taking the auctioneer's
hammer by the head and waving the
handle at a lot of matinee girls down in
the front row. But he sold a box. just
the same. Others who sold seats and
boxes were Edward Milton RoyIe the
playwright, and George Nash.
Highest Price for a Box.
The highest price for a box was paid,
for first choice, by Harry Norment, whose
bid was 1920. While Wilton Lackaye
was auctioneering Nat Wills sat in one of
the lower boxes. Lackaye sold this box
for 500 because Wills was occupying it.
Then he turned around and sold the op-
posite box for the same price. because
Wills was not in 1t and the box was, as
Lackaye put 1t, delightfully."- unincumber-
ed. The purchasers were William B.
Hibbs and G. B. Chapman. Preston Glib
son bought two upper boxes for SEQ and
$40.
When the seats were placed on sale
George w. Leslie, the comedian, who be-
cause of engagements could not partici-
pate in the gambol. bid in the first seat
at $40 so as to be sure OF seeing his
fellow Lambs in action. Nat Wills and
George Nash continued merrily with the
at s6 and So apiece. The regular seat
sale will open Monday at the box ONCE of
the National Theater.
