In the days of permanent stock com

cred Indispensable TO the theatre and
useful member Of the company because the
most important OF his many duties was 70

the stage in time for his cue, and the
actors relied upon him 70 call them. II

are better known by the general public.

boy lost his vocation. But he has been
revived. and by Margaret Anglin. who is
playing at the Savoy.
Wilfred Norman is the name of Miss
Anglin's call boy. He is fourteen years old.
and was once a juvenile actor. Miss
Anglin has d. essed him in a blue uniform
with brass buttons, peakIess cap and white
gloves. He was told TO wear the gloves
always and never be seen without them.

Here is one story which helped TO defeat
him: In the Olympic Club two members
were discussing the election. and one said
he hoped Heney would be soundly beaten
Heney. who WAS standing near is reported
TO have stepped up and said: II am Mr..
Heney. and all can say is that those
who oppose me are either crooks or i'm
beetles" II did not take long for this story
TO spread about town. and il cost Heney
thousands OF votes. as il was considered
characteristic of the man.
Heney's defeat will see the end of the
prosecution OF Calhoun and the other men
who were indicted at the instance of Ru-
delphi S9reckels and Heney. These indict-
ments will be dismissed by Fickert. but
the new District Attorney win use every
effort TO send Schmitz and Ruef 70 San

have better success than Heney. as he will
not attempt 10 try. his cases in the news

Agent William J. Burns. who has drawn a
large salary for many months.

The fatal split in the Republican ranks,
like the entrance Of Hearst into The New
York contest divided the forces which
would otherwise have been massed against
Mccarthy, the Union Labor candidate. Just
as in the case Of Schmitz. Mccarthy won

ponents So great was the number Of
straight UnioL Labor ballots that he car
ried in with him eleven out Of eighteen
supervisors. so that ne will be able 70 or
ganize the board and appoint the chairmen
OF important committees.
Those who know Mccarthy well say
there will be no danger OF graft under his
administration, as ne does not care for
money. All ne wants is power. These
friends say he is exceedingly ambitious, and
will use every effort 10 make his sdminis-
tration a success in order that he may be-
come a strong candidate for Governor CT
