THE STAGE DOORKEEPER

IT see." said the stage-struck youth
that there is always a good deal in
type about the fair southern girls for
: sal1ing aristocratic homes and falling
for the call of the stage"
Yep" said the stage doorkeeper.
Most girls-southern or otherwise-hear
r. the call at some time during their life,
and in lots Of cases they fall for it,
And if II wasn't for the southern girls,
: with their tony, goateed dads in linen
coats, our little press agents would
have to go on strike during the summer
months
The Seasonable Mint
THE seasonable mint is responsible
for a lot of this southern CUFF Here
we have the hot weather drivin US
almost insane, and the Hghtest under
wear stickin' tighter than fly paper to
q Pomeranian, so naturally we're feelin'
out of sorts. Nobody around here is
much STU on workin' through the
summer, but as long as a lot Of preca-
rious actors refuse to save their money
during the regular season we'll have TO
have summer shows. Some time. Of
course, they may learn to save up
enough to tide them over and let me
take a rest through July and August
but doubt IL.

She's the real quill all right, and

foreigners wanted.
1t was a fellow and a girl. l don't
know whether it was Russian, Prus-

it sounded like all three rolled into
one, and then some.
They stood in front of the counter
and pointed and jabbered until I was
ready to throw the cheese at 'em. But
figured out that they might want to
stock their house up or something.
so I managed to sit them down in a
cdFner while I sent the errand boy
around the corner to the magistrates
office to fetch the interpreter l had to
mind those Immigrants for an hour
before he came, and then what do you
think? They thought they had the
