attend matinee offering by his less gifted brothers
Once during the lifetime of minstrel joke one comes
to scof and remains to go through with that most
difficult exercise of Thespian muscles-the audible
contact of the palm of one hand against the palm OF
the other.
One afternoon Bob Hart presented his solvent, ser
ous well known vaudevillian face at the box office
window of rival attraction and got his d. h. coupon
for orchestra seat.
A. B, c and D glowed successfully on the announce
men spaces and passed into oblivion, each plunglng
Mr. Hart deeper into gloom. Others of the audience
shrieked, squirmed, whised and applauded; but Bob
Hart, 'All the mustard and a whole show IN nm
sef, sat with his face as long and his hands as far
apart as boy holding hank of yarn for his grand
mother to wind into ball,
But when H came on, ''The Mustard" suddenly
sat up straight. the happy alphabetical prog,
noscator of Winona Cherry, in character songs and
representations There were scarcely more than two
bites to Cherry; but she delivered the merchandise
tied with pink cord and charged to the old man 8

But you know the rest. And so did Bob Hart; but
he saw somebody else He thought he saw that Cherry
was the only professional the short order stage
that he had seen who seemed exactly to fit the part
of Helen Grimes in the sketch he had written and
kept tucked away in the tray of his trunk OF course
Bob Hart as we'll every other normal actor, grocer,
newspaper man, professor, curb broker and farmer
has play tucked away somewhere. They tuck 'em
in trays of trunks trunks of trees, desks haymows

He had kept it quiet and hidden away even since he
wrote it, waiting to find partner who fitted his con-
ception of Helen Grimes. And here was Helen her
SELF with all the innocent abandon, the youth, the
sprghtlness and the awless stage art that his crit
ical taste demanded
After the act over Hart found the manager in
the box Office, and got Cherry 8 address At five the
next afternoon he called at the musy old house in the
West Fortes and sent up his professional card.

today ano they viewed in wonder the
work of the blowers. who had
dug their way through walls when the
store was filled with Saturday night
customers, and then waited until Mr..
Heyman and his son Solomon slammed
the safe door with its Saturdays re-
ceipts. Then they got busy. The near
est they came to detection was when
several of the neighbors heard a
muffied report>as the cloth-covered safe
was dynamited shortly after o'clock
in the morning.
Burglars Secreted in Cellar.
The detectiveg investigation showed
that the robbers evidently got into the
hallway at 206 Springfield avenue early
Saturday evening and made their way
to the cellar, where they worked with
the light of electric lanterns and nicely
picked out enough bricks of the wall
separating this cellar from the one at
204 to permit of a man, lying fat. get
ting next door. The police say that
there isn't any doubt that while Mr.
Heyman and his force of clerks were
serving customers upstairs the robbers
were concealed In the cellar awaiting
the closing of the store.
Mr.. Heyman, with his son Solomon,
left the store at IL: 80 o'clock Appar-
emily the robbers waited but a short
time after their departure to get tc
the main floor Of the store. On this
floor is the Office. with its big safe fac
ling RANKIN street. 1t is In full view OF
the street and no explanation is offered
as to why the policeman on post missed
ut from its accustomed place.
The burglars dragged the safe back
| from the window. 1t was impossible
to get it through the doorway, which
separates the office from the main
floor, so they tore away a partition
Then the robbers made a pillow OF
valuable silks, portieres and tapestries
and dumped the safe on its side with
the door on the upper end.
Use silks as a Mufiier.
They then banked the safe with all
the dry goods that was easy of access
and with charge of dynamite did the
rest The safe door flew back and
the $4,000 in currency was in their
grasp. They also took with them sew.
eraI checks. One check of $500 was
found by the police on the floor
Solomon Heyman discovered the rob-
berry when he went to open the store
yesterday morning and Immediately re-
ported 1t to the police.
