LOBSTERS ENDED
EFFECTIVE SCENE

The down-by-the-sea drama, What
Happened to Mary" which comes to the
Belasco Theater this week. presents a
num- er OF quaint fishing village char
acter5 the most prominent of which is
the old salt. Capt Jogifer, played by Ed.
NJ. Kimball. The captain is supposed to
have a wooden leg, to which he refers
several times during the course Of his
dialogue. The captain makes hss initial
entrance upon the fishing village scene
out of his schooner. which is anchored
in fun sight of the audience. AS origin
ally planned by the author, owen Davis,
Jogifer was to make this first entrance
with a fishing net full of Holsters. Thus
said Davis, leaving nothing TO the inn
agination of the audience, Davis just
naturally overlooking the fact, as did
everybod else, that Holsters we're caught
In traps not nets. However. the prop
erty man had his instructions and the
captain was provided with a net full
of the 'Nal things-green ones too. And
so Jogifer appeared with a dozen writh-
ing crustaceans, dangling down his back
and humping against his so-called wood
en- limb. Then comes his opening
speech to Mary. with the Holsters still
a-dangling:
We'll Matey, here am-woOden leg
and ALL"
But just then one of the unbroiled live
ones nipped the captains wooden calf
P7d the deep sea speech that followed
demonstrated that the captain was par
ticuIarIy well-versed in the picturesque
vernacular of all ship-tTained parrots.
What was the result?

Youna, the juggler who appears In the
