Mr.. Sutton says that. given a GER
tain number OF acts. a program may
be made or married by their arrange
ment, and that as much care should
be taken in determining the order of
the features OF a vaudeville feast as
in preparing a dinner menu, when il

the soup after the meat or the salad
for dessert.
George Anger gave a reception on
the stage of the Orpheum theatre fol-
lowing the matinee on Saturday. 1t
was primarily for the young folks
who wanted 10 approach more closely
one OF their fairy-tale heroes. Anger
was a favorite among the stage hands
at the Orpheum during his engage
ment. as the big fellow is as good
/ natured as he is overgrown. Only
his propensity TO joking sometimes
got the employees into difficulties.
and none of them was ever sure that
he would not be lifted off his feet

them in the face. they found their
available assets tOtalled S1.30. and

and after learning their business and
destination, offered 10 advance the
necessary funds, which they could re-
pay in san Francisco. According to
MI CantWell we told our life-saVer
where we We're TO play. and wrote out
an order on the manager for two
tickets, gave ii To him, and arranged
for him 10 go TO the show on Monday
afternoon and wait for us after the
matinee. when we would draw enough
money TO pay back his generous loan.
He came and saw the performance
and we saw him afterwards and paid
him the money. George asked him
how he liked our act, and he replied.
I'm sorry / didn't let YOU BOYS starve

standing near the box office and just
then a messenger boy came up TO the
window and said he had a telegram
for Martin Beck. manager OF the
theatre Our Good Samaritan turned
TO the boy and said. I am Mr.. Beck "
