Billy Was Gone.

kissed the youngster on the
top of his head, and, would you
believe IT, he remembered me and
called me Grandpa" just as
those crazy actors had taught him
to do eight weeks before at Kan
sas City.
I looked around, naturally, for
Billy.
But my question was antici-
pated. The mother said In a
calm, subdued tone of voice:
Billy is dead. He caught pneu-
monia at Fort Worth. He was
sick only three days. We did not
miss performance. The funeral
was in the morning. Everybody
on the bill came, and there were
about twenty actors or more
from the other theaters. The
manager offered to give us the
day off, but we were afraid that
it might break in on his pro-
gram-business wasn't very good,
anyway. So we played just the
same.
I'VE buried the little fellow out
there in the cemetery. The mon
ument cost us a hundred dollars.
The grave was covered with
flowers.
We'll play down there again
next fall, and We'll put a fence
around the grave"

ter.

They followed me to the Pullman.
As 1 climbed aboard they sang,

most her last breath had given
the baby boy into her sisters
keeping. Buster and Billy, prac-
tically brothers, were to be
brought up and educated togeth-

they were to be sent to school
and be taught to work and be
useful. None of this actor bust

Out on the Stage.

We were afraid to start them on
the stage together from one side.
So Beulah took Buster around to
the left and l had Billy on the
right, where they could see each
other across the stage. And while
the father and mother were doing
the tango we started the kids out
on their artistic career.
When they toddled out in front
OF the footlights there was a great
hush fell on the audience, then a
roar of delight went up that shook
the r-spangled dome.
1t stopped the tango. and near
ly busted the show But the ac-
tors were equal to the occasion.
Each grabbed up a kid and went
through the mad dance as never
before. The audience howled,

n sas City, I divided headliner
honors with Beulah Poyn-
ter. I occupied the eighth spot
in a ten-act program, not count
ing the moving pictures, which
were used as a chaser.
Number seven was taken by a
black-face act. There was man
and his wife and a helper. The
wife made up as an octoroon,
dressing her part with exquisite
grace. She sang, danced and add
ed a becoming dash of polite COM
edy to the bill.
noticed that the lady off the
stage. was dressed in mourning.
1t took me about two days to cou-
pie her with the swell, smashing,
dashing, dancing girl that I met
when 1 went up the stairway and
waited for my entrance music.
This woman was, say, twenty
eight. When her makeup was
washed off there was just trace
of care on her fine face. She
was motherly, gentle, intelligent,
modest.
Billy and Buster.
And the funny part was that
she had two little boys-babies,
in fact-one aged two and the
other not much older, One they
called Billy and the other was
Buster.
When the mother went on she
left the babies in the care of an
oil black nanny a sure enough
colored person, otherwise those
babies would have crawled up
stairs ad waddled out on the stage
and performed little act of their
own.
But it was not long before there
were volunteer nurses, for Beu-
lab, one afternoon at the matinee,
held Buster in her motherly arms
and l did as much for Billy.
Then it was that Beulah had a
big thought come to her all at
once out of the sky-blue painted
ceiling of that wonderful Garden
Theater, where the stars twinkle
even at the matinees.
Here is the plot-and Beulah
nearly fell over herself with gig
glesome glee as she tried to ex-
plain the idea to me. Here it is:
We would send the nurse out on
an errand, while the act went on,
Beulah and I would black up the
two little kids and send them out
on the stage as the "Pickaninny
Twins"
So that night we corralled the
kids in my dressing room as soon
as the father and mother and the
artistic helper had gone upstairs,
and we surely got busy backing
up those youngsters. The babies
entered into the joy of the thing
with histrionic abandon.
