HERE'S A QUEER LITTLE COUPLE WHO "a
LIVE In A QUEER LITTLE HOME

In the town Of Compton, In the
state OF Pennsylvania, there IN a
great big house with 10 big rooms
In IL. n il the funniest house any
body ever saw.
If belongs 10 Casper WelS and
his wife. who ID known 10 the world
OF yaudcvilllans AS Queen Nab"
Casper and NAB are playing AZ The
Empress theatre this week.
Queen Nab IL the iittieat actress
In the world. and her husband isn't
much bigger Aud when, IN the
apringfirnr. their seasons work In
done. they 30 back 10 the big house
In Compton, where a big giant of a
housekaeper and a bigger giant OF
a gardener are waiting for them.
Now, the funny thing about this
house Is that. while Il In awful
big, everything In Il IL awful small
Even the steps leading up 10 the
big front door are 40 hiRh that
poor Queen NAB has 20 hoist one
foot up and then the other. though
Casper. being little larger and a
good deal spryer. skips up the
stepa with a series OF comicai hops.
You'd bust your sides laughing
n you could see Casper and Nab In
that house. The ceilings are 80
high The walls are so far apart.
Just imagine you lived In house
whore the ceilings were 40 feet
from the floor. and where Il took
you five minutes 10 walk from the
front door 20 the kitchen. n you
can imagine such thing. you have
some Idea Of how Casper and NAB
feel when they are 1T home.
But the furniture In no small you
couldn't possibly use II. The chairs
are like the kind your doll sits on.
Aud the tables are like the one you
play house with. And the beds
are 30 small that nobody but n doll
or a baby--or q midget--could lie
on them.
Every summer Casper and NAB
keep open house. And all the mid.
Eets in the United States come
home for their holidays. NAB may
be, ns the press agent claims. the
smallest actress In the world, but
she isn't the smallest midget, by =
long shot.
And when they all get together.
they look like lot OF Kids In
grown-up clothes. Ouly they don't
talk about the things Kids talk
about They talk about woman
suffrage. aud the high cost of living
and tariff ". free trade. and fash
ions. and stocks and bonds. and re-
llgion. and hotels. and the monetary
sysiem. ard tho best way to get
