One dull gray morning last sum-
mer Walker Whiteside, now starring
in The Magic Melody" was making
a vacation trip through the delight
full lake country of Scotland, immor-
talized in prose and poem by Sir
Walter Scott and the shepherd poet
Bobbie Burns. The coach had left
Aberfoyle in one of those fine misty
drizzles, for which the Scottish cOun-
try is proverbial. 1t somewhat OBJ

through the Trossachs, the long rug
ged glen which leads through the
mountains to Loeb Lomond and ev-

mountain side, the coach overlook
venerable Scotch shepherd and MIR.

AT THE ILLINOIS.

George Damerel. who will be seen
in the leading role in The Heart
Breakers" at the Illinois Wednesday
night, presented under the manage
ment of Mort H. Singer, was a pro-
fessional ball player before he took
up the stage. He was a pitcher in
the Northern league, belonging TO
the Grand Forks baseball club and
pitched against Deacon Phillip, who
then belonged to Fargo. \. D., and
is now a member of the Pittsburgh
Nationals. Damerel was finally
drafted to the Minneapolis team of
which team he is still a member as
his contract has never been can
celled. He has a locker with the
club. Two years ago after closing a
two years continuous tour with The
Merry Widow" he Joined the MIN
neapolis team to try and get into
condition for the coming season. He
practiced with the team every day
and pitched twice against Kansas
City, winning both games. When ask
ed why he gave up baseball as a pro-
fession, he said that He thought
he would become more famous as
singer and also that the money re-
Enumeration was bigger" Both he
and Phillip have reached the top of
their profession. Mr.. Damerel is an
all around athlete, being a fine swim
mer an ardent fishermen and one of
the best boxers on the stage.

They will stay with the club or they
will leave it, as the new corporation

upon is that Rock Island shall have

proposition is a fair and square one
and most probably will be taken up
by men who have considered the pur-
