The caller had seen them and he
quite agreed with Miss Fulton that
they conveyed the idea of dreariness
just fine, but what had that to do
with dancing? Anyway, he hadn't
noticed anything so very dreary about
Miss Fulton's dance and he told her
SO right out.
Very kind" and her big blue eyes
sparkled, but here is what was get
ting at. There was nothing in those
tumbleweeds except motion. There
was no regularity of movement, no
fancy steps. but just that moving
along, and it was more eloquent even
than the bowling wind. I've always
believed that motion is the most eff
fecttve mode of expression and mo-
ton is dancing. Dancing doesn't
mean fancy steps and clogs. You can
scarcely induce a theater crowd to
fall for buck and wing any more.
but they do like dancing that tells
something, and that's the kind the
tumbleweeds do, or used to do when
I lived in Kansas.
A Few Things She Has Done.
Il was born out here in ElDorado.
My father. T. P. Fulton, used to edit
a weekly paper there and 1 used to
try to help him set type. 1 always
wanted to be moving. We went to
Olathe to live when I was a young
ster and then we came here to Kan
sas City and lived a few years. When
was IL 1 went to st. Louis and
worked as an apprentice in a milli-
ner's shop. Then 1 was a stenogra-
pher in St. Louis and from there
drifted to Detroit. where 1 was a
stenographer and learned telegra-
ply on the side. My next move was
to South Dakota, where I worked as
telegraph operator.
ut must have been that tumbleweed
spirit, I guess, that kept me jumping
from one place to another. 1 got
more of that spirit in South Dakota.
I lived for time on a ranch there
and rode horseback and wrote a few
little stories that I was able to get
into a magazine. Then came the
stage yearning. 1 didn't know that
I wanted to dance. I didn't find that
out until several months after I had
been in New York when I got a place
as a sort of third soubrette In Made
moiselle Champagne. 1 was wait
ing in the wings for my time to go on
and trembling a whole lot, too, the
opening night of the show in Madison
Square Garden, when I heard the
shots that killed Stanford White.

At the Novelty.

The management of the Novelty
theater thinks that the ideal vaude-
Vile bill should have a playlet. Aero
battle and novelty acts always appeal
to certain class, while song and
dance and comedy numbers always
are more or less entertaining. 1t is
not easy, however, to obtain sketch
Or playlet, strong enough to fill the
headline position on the ideal vaude-
vile bill. When it comes to the best
playlets of vaudeville, there are less
than dozen that will qualify. The
| ideal sketch must contain a consis-
| tent story, briefly told, the players
| must be more capab than those ap-
| pearing in the legitimate drama, for
| they must get their audience with
their first lines, and furthermore. the
| playiet must have scenic equipment
| and effects and at the same time
follow a line of thought so consis-
| tently that it will give the audience
something to think about when they
reach home
The management feels assured
that in 1.-THE Operator" a dramatic
sketch by Charles Kenyon, which will
head the bill at the Novelty theater
opening matinee New Years day. has
been obtained a sketch answering all
Of the aforementioned requirements.

Birds and lnsnct lifn-

Men OF science are generally agreed
that birds are natures great check ON
the excess Of insects and that they
maintain the balance between plant
and insect life. Ten thousand cater
pillars, IL has been estimated, could
destroy every blade of grass ON an
area of cultivated land. The insect
population OF single cherry tree in
tested with nphides has been estimat-
ed by prominent cntomologIst at no
less than 100000. The bird popula-
ton of cultivated country districts has
been estimated at from 700 to 900 per

with the number of insects, yet us
