silly on the scenery, as So many of our
American actors do. They knew how to
enunciate. They impart class to their
lines. They don't rant. They tit the pic
ture. They exhibit in every movement
and every intonation the fact that they
are trained people, that they have made a
study of their business; that. having
adopted the stage as serious profess
sion, they have gene to work to master
the details of the profession, to improve
then selves, to make the most of their
talents and personalities. American act
ors often appear to be positively clumsy
beside the Ensl:sh players. They seem to
be wholly deficient in the technic of the
Enghshmen They don't grasp the

II remember brother actor who play

At the climax of the third act Of his
play the linlelight was always thrown
upon him. In this town however, the
limelight man shot the Light nine or ten
feet to the left. and 1T was from The
blacklist shadow that my friend had TO
make his best speech.
Naturally, at the end of the act he in
dignant asked the limel.ght man why
the deuce the light hadn't been thrown
where it belonged.
Fly in the way the lmelight man
answered, biting a chew from plug of
tobacco.

1.-The lmelight man rolled his tobacco
to the other cheek. looked at my friend

his heel:

want no limelight.'

Test Your Humor!
IENRY E. DIxEY said at supper

EENRY E. DIxEY said at a supper at
! the Cafe de rOpera In New York:
Here is the best humor test In all the
world. 1t is, in fact, the only infal ible
humor test And II is peculiarly appro-
pirate to repeat now, for it is the test
used by Lincoln.
Its this story, or rather, it's the way
people take this story. that makes the
test:
"A gentleman at dinner party, when
the salad was passed, instead Of helping
himself in the usual way with the sa. lad
fork and spoon, took up a liberal quality
in both hands, rubbed it careful and
thoughtfully through his hair, and then
retui ned it TO the bowl.
"A lady on his left said:
Pardon me; but, If it is not an in
discreet question, would you mind tell
ing me why you rubbed the saad in your
hair like that?'
The gentleman seemed horror struck.
'Saiad?' he exclaimed. Did you say
salad? Good gracious, what have l done
Here l thought it was spinach"

the carking misery that has been wrought
upon an afflicted world through dismal
period of eighty -eight years. l believe,
though, there we no Xylophones at the
time Rossini composed this thing. II
there had been. and if the fat Venetian
had been able to prognosticate the lnger-

1t Suited Him.

THE late Patrick F. Sheedy. the well
known gambler, always cautioned
young men against gaming, though he
had been himself SO succe ssful at it.
Never gamble" he said one winter
day in his art shop. to a New York re-
porter "A gambler, in his despair, will
stake his life and his honor to win a
dollar or two.
The desperate gambler is, in fact, like
that poor fe low who rented a steam

by the widest stretch of the imagination
could be called conversation. How can
you expect a grown-up human being to
respond TO that kind of Gertie-and-Glad S

that you've got some deep. dark purpose
