personal manager. Everything al
ways seemed to be correct, and
they were accepted and O.K.-ed.
One night, several weeks after
his share in the bills for his new,
latest production had been rem
dered and paid. the actor. who
found the air close in his dressing
room, spent the intermission in the
wings, watching the stage hands
set the scenes for his second act.
1t is the universal habit of scene
builders to stencil on the back of
the wooden framework of scenery
the name of the production to
which it belongs. as well as the act,
scene, and exact position it occu-
pies. Each piece thus bears on its
back an accurate label; so that
even if it gets mixed with the seem
cry of another production it can
easily be sorted out and returned
to its rightful place.
So as the actor stood there he
read the name of his play on each
door or wall or window frame as it
was brought forward and fitted
into place. He found himself idly
reading these stencilings on one of
tt sets, when his attention was
caught by some other wording,
faint and all but illegible. on an
other part of the scenery. He
stepped up and examined this, and
found it to be the name of another
production, one his producing man
