Animated Theater Audience.
Jack II. Tay Tor. pupil of r. l.. Wat
mought and +. Brown, never loses an APP
portunity to he gay despite the high grade
of his drawings. of which there are sew
eral on display. One. labeled "A Small
Theater, shows an interior, and presents
stage picture and animated goings-on
in the audience that are not exactly
everyday occurrences in playhouses of
whatever type.
There is a statue of Jack Johnson in
the balcony foyer. The audience is in
uproar evidently finding the performance
not to its liking. Badders are being
welded. things are being thrown and po-
lice are entering with appraised clubs to
restore order. With feet on the velvet
covered rail, man sits smoking in a
box.
On the stage goes on a blood and thun-
der melodrama made evident by western
costumes and gun play. One of the dead
is heins carried out the back way on
stretsher \ man above the flies is max
ing rain IN the scene from garden wa
fering o.. The calcium is trained on the
hero by the spotlight man in the gallery.
In Mr.. Taylors presentation of a theo-
logical seminary he gives splendid eX-
position of the recreatons of religious
students when the cats asleep. In the
gymnasium a separate Dull0lnS from the
main hall. the form of athletics INDUCED
in is strangely violent and calculated to
tragical conclusions. From the bars men
are falling upon their heads on the con-
crete floors others doing stunts that
monkeys would envy. and way down un-
der water in the bottom of the pool two
card players have found secrecy for their
forbidden amusement.
I'm the dormitory men are falling asleep
or out of bed, or are in all stages of
masculine toilets. A company of semi
nary cadets, each posed at an angle that
eHdangers equilibrium unless they are
ma king tremendous haste, is passing the
seminary hall.
Makes Light of Death.
The mausoleum dedicated to Uncle Joe
Cannon by the craftsman. John A.
Weber, makes light of such a gloomy
subject as death. The inscription over
the tomb. where rests an incumbent
figure of the great ex-Speaker of the
House of Representatives, reads:
This Tomb
is for
Old Joe Cannon,
May His Bones
Rest In Pieces
II lie Will. Be as Hot as l Have Been
on This Problem
He Won't Be in Heaven
But in
He'll.
I'm Glad This Thing Is Over;
oh. for Good
Nights
Sleep.
