avenue girl-who doesn't come on the
stage-and can we blame her. with the
vaudeville trust holding down prices
until one actually must be buttoned in
the back by call boy, maids cost so
much?
But, wait Here's the climax. Helen
Grimes, chapparralish as she can be,
is goaded beyond imprudence. She
convinces herself that Jack Valentine
is not only falsetto, but a financier.
To lose at one fell swoop $647,OO0 and
q lover in riding trousers with angles
in the sides like the variations on the
chart of a typhoid fever patient is
enough to make any perfect lady mad.
So, then!
They stand in the (ranch) library,

nouement begins. l know of no more
interesting time in the run of play
unless 1t be when the prologue ends.
Helen thinks Jack has taken the
money. Who else was there to take
it? The box-office manager was at
the front on his job, the orchestra
hadn't left their seats, and no man
could get past "Old Jimmy" the
stage doorman, unless he could show
a Skye terrier or an automobile as
guarantee of eligibility.
Goaded beyond imprudence (as be-
fore said), Helen says to Jack Valen-
tine: "Robber and thief-and worse
yet stealer of trusting hearts, this
should be your fate!"
With that out she whips, of course,
the trusty 32-caliber.

Helen. "You shall live-that will be
your punishment. will show you how
easily I could have sent you to the
death that you deserve. There is her
picture on the mantel. 1 will send
through her more beautiful face the
bullet that should have pierced your
craven heart"
And she does it. And there's no fake
blank cartridges or assistants pulling
strings Helen fires. The bullet-the
actual bullet-goes through the face of
the photograph-and then strikes the
hidden spring of the sliding panel in
the wall-and 10! the panel slides, and
there is the missing $647000 in convinc-
ing stacks of currency and bags of
gold. It's great. You know how it is.
Cherry practiced for two months at a
target on the roof of her boarding
house. 1t took good shooting. In the
sketch she had to hit a brass disk only
wall paper in the panel; and she had to
stand in exactly the same spot every
night, and the photo had to be in ex-
actly the same spot, and she had to
shoot steady and true every time.
OF course old Arapahoe had tucked
the funds away there in the secret
place; and, of course, Jack hadn't TAX

really might have come under the head

and Helen ended in a half-Nelson-

After Hart and Cherry had gotten
mice Will Play" nawless, they had a
tryout at a vaudeville house that ac-
wreeker 1t was one of those rare
strokes of talent that mandates thea
ter from the roof down. The gallery
wept; and the orchestra seats, being
dressed for it, swan in tears.
After the show the booking agents
signed blank checks and pressed foun-
tain pens upon Hart and Cherry. Five
hundred dollars week was what it
panned out.
That night at 11:30 o'clock Bob Harl
took off his hat and bade Cherry good
night at her boarding house door.
"Mr Hart" said she thoughtfully,
come inside just few minutes. We've
got our chance now to make good and
to make money. What we want to do
is to cut expenses every cent we can
and save all we can"
Fright" said Bob tits business

cook and nobody around to raise
trouble. Anything to enlarge the net

Come inside just a few minutes"
repeated Cherry, deeply thoughtful.
"Tve got proposition to make to you
that will reduce our expenses a lot
and help you work out your own flu

all on business principles"
mice Will Play" had tremendously
successful run in New York for ten
weeks-rather neat for vaudeville
sketch-and then it started on the cir
cults. without following it, it may be
said that it was a solid drawing card
for two years without sign of abated
popularity.
Sam Packard, manager of one of
Keetors New York houses, said OF
Hart and Cherry:

IT'S a pleasure to read their names ON
the booking list. Quiet, hard work

And now, after so much cracking or
a nutshell. here is the kernel of the
story: .,,.,

for another run at the roof gardens
and summer theaters. There was new
er any trouble in booking it at the
top-notch price. Bob Hart had his bum

so many savings deposit bank books
that she had begun to buy sectional
bookcases on the installment plan TO
