If I were a boy there'd be only one
thing I'd be ashamed of-to be a
gutter.
Remember: You will have many a
hard battle with yourself if you in
tend being king-pin in any line.
They are just as grueling as any in
the prize ring where it's the sudden
flash of fists coming like a ton Of
brick for your jaw or plexus that
you've got to watch. Only knock
out in the ring is not so serious a
defeat.

IS THE NEW CHIEF GOING TO
DROP INTO POLITICS?

Chief Gleason has announced many
plans since he succeeded to the place
left vacant by John McWeeny. It
will be remembered that McWeeny
resigned because of politics.
And now, if rumors around the
City Hall can be believed, the new
chief may make the mistake of sue
cumbing to those same political in
flUences.
A report that will not down is the
one concerning the contemplated
switching of Capt. Thomas F.
Meagher, Desplaines street station,
and Capt. Stephan K Healey, West
Chicago avenue district.
The Sullivan azzolo faction are
behind this move. There has been an
open feud on the West Side since
Mike Sullivan took over the reins of
dictatorship.
Sullivan is now trying to assemble
the parts of the old West Side polit-
ical machine that Capt. Meagher, by
cleaning up the 18th ward, disrupted.

THE REvENGEEUL sTAGEHAND

Many of the small revenges prac-
tised on actors by the stage-hand who
has conceived a dislike for them, for
one reason or another-generaliy
groundless-are nothing greater than
petty annoyances. But sometimes, il
he happens to be vicious, these acts
may be made very dangerous. Know
ing this, the actor-sub-consciously-
always has the good will of tho stage
hand in mind.
1 recall an incident when I was
playing with Helen Barry. She was a
woman Of heroic build-six feet tall,
and otherwise made on a big plan.
She was an ~exacting and contentious
woman, and had made herself very un-
popular with the stage crew. At this
time Miss Barry was i~mpersonating a
society who, to carry out a
little intrigue, had put on the uniform
of an army officer. In one scene it
was her business to stalk up and down
the stage, and, when sufficiently
wrought up, to kick a footstool out Of
her way. The footstool that she kick
ed was an upright box with a cover to
1t. One night, when l was on the
scene with her, l had my back to her,
and was arranging my hat in the
glass. Suddenly | felt the most fear.
full vibration and heard a terrible
crash. / swung around, and, to my
amazement, saw Miss Barry, disguised
as the officer, fiat on her back and
wrggling about in an attempt to re-
gain the perpendicular. The audience
had gone wild with glee. l was so
shocked that l did nothing but stand
and stare at the woman / did not
know whether or not 1t was a new
piece Of business that had been intro
duced. But l quickly realized one
thing-she had fallen and wanted to
get up. Her sabre had got underneath
her in some way and prevented her
rising. l tugged and tugged away at
her. for she was very heavy, and,
after a very ridiculous t~oug-of-war be-
tween us, she managed to get on her
feet.
AS the play was a comedy, there
was no great harm done, for I doubt
II the audience realized what had
really happened. When the curtain
fell Miss Berry informed me that
someone had filed the footstool with
lead, and that when she gave it a
kick the recoil threw her on her back.
She realized instantly that she was a
victim of stage-hand revenge, and was
filled with rage and fury. Quite as
funny as the incident itself was the
remark of tho stage-manager when he
came behind. Miss Barry had sent
for this bearer Of all mems burdens.
He must have realized what her COM
plant would be, for he rushed in, his
face beaming, and, before the furious
actress could begin her protest, gaily
cried out: That's splendid-fne!
You made a big hit with that new
piece of busirees! Put 1t in every
night."-FTom "Stage Hands," by
Mary Shaw in the December Strand.
