Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-01

q TILL they come west. Still they
register Not a drop of ink is
~ saved the Los Angeles hotels by
the warm weather signaling the nation
wide coming Of summer People used
to come to Los Angeles in the winter
to get warm; now they come i'm sum-
mer to get cool. Soon there will be nc
reason. no particular weather reason,
for coming to California. Fasteners
will come without stopping to ask
themselves why. 1t will be simply a
matter OF good, common equine sense
to come west. A guest at the Lanker-
SHIN yesterday predicted that the
great east will be a barren desert in
Twenty years. Everybody will have
moved to California. As evidence of
his BELIEF he left with Bennett Bono
an example of the kind Of verse the
eastern poets are manufacturing now,
If the poets there turn against their
own country, what can be hoped from
the stern realists? Here is the verse:
Exit coal man. also wood man;
Ice man takes the place of these.
We must pay to thaw in winter,
And in summer pay TO freeze
This happened on the sidewalk in
front of the Van Nuys yesterday. The
PRINCIPALS are in no way connected
with any Los Angeles hotel; the fact is
they have never even stayed at a Los
Angeles hotel. Perhaps they have gone
into some of the hotels at some time te
get a match, but that probably is the
extent of their hotel experience. Per-
sons, therefore, who make conversa-
tio1al breaks or do other unusual
things and do not wish the light of
publicity thrown upon their adven-
lures, conversational or otherwise,
will take warning and get as far away
from a hotel as possible.
'I see you have a new automobile" "
said one of the principals, enviously.
yes" responded the other principal,
as he slowed up the machine near the
sidewalk, "and it's a beauty. Every
thing works like clockwork."
"That's good"
1.-THE tires are puncture proof"
"Better still"
"And she goes like the wind
"Gee whizl l wish 1 owned one"
by the way are you fond of riding"
Fond of riding? Well, 1 should
say So"
"Well. here's a street car transfer I
can ride home on it,
Al Selby at the Hollenbeck was at
one time an exponent of the drama in
its most artistic FORM Re never bub-
bles freely with "reminiscences of his
dramatic career, it is true, but his fell
low employees insist that he used to
be real Thespian. When Al is ques-
toned upon the subject he protests
that the nearest he ever approached
the footlights was when he worked at
hotel back east that was next door
to a penny arcade Ed Allan at the
Hollenbeck hands it out that he is re-
iiably informed that AL once played a
leading role in a New England drama.
He also tells the following story of an
incident in AIS life:
The show was playing to crowded
house. Al halted in the wings, having
made his exit after a very strong scene
in which he was the main figure. 81
guess I'd better go back for an encore, "
he announced proudly to the soubrette.
"I still hear the wind kissing in the
blizzard scene"
you blockhead!" shouted the irate
manager, who happened to be standing
near that isn't the BLIZZARD that's
the audience"
A New York soap salesman now
staying at the Angelus told the follow
ing story yesterday about little town
in Arizona:
"The town is some distance from the
railroad station" he said. "On a rainy
night it's a right smart walk. Well,
one night this spring / was there with
a very peppery little tobacco drummer
from Waukegan, Ill. When we arrived
at the station the drummer began to
take it out on the operator, the only
i, e.Iar int f11nf fryr
and said that the fellows who ran the
ra.h DAD were crazy. Why wasn't
your station built somewhere near the
town.? he wanted to know.
"'Well,' drawled the operator, 4

their proposed fair.
