ARNOLD DAILY was another one
with temperament, and there
neUer tods a stage carpenter that
could suit him. He was strong on
realism, and one time while l was
serving a term with him l had to
stage a scene that had a bower of
roses in 1t. Well, / made as fine a
picture as you ever saw, but when
1t came to dress rehearsal do you
think l was right? / should say not.
He took one look at that rose bower
and then he started in.
Say, those tissue paper rosettes
look about as much like the real
thing as you do like an artist he
raved. Well, picked one OF 'em off
and stuck 1t under his nose.
"'You re criticising God, not met
| yelled, for | d spent forty dollars
like to know who was the artist
that time"
"Yes," l interrupted, hurrying to
the defense Of cherished idols, but
those were exceptional cases."
THE Old Man took long puff and
favored me with a tolerant look.
"Oh, l dunno" he continued slowly;
Il could go on tellin' you exceptional
cases all night. Now, there was
Louie Mann; he was another one
the realistic bug had bit so bad he
had a continual ease of the itch.
He used to make me so mad wished
he d get a suicide scene, for was
sure he d introduce enough realism
into 1t to get over, once and for all.
He was staging a play that had a
safe In the first act and / says to
myself: I'll give you one to crack
all right Well l went to the safe
people. promised 'em program notice
and finally got 'em to send up one
that took a four-horse drag to haul
and about fifty men TO wheel into
position. Louie was late for the last
rehearsal and we were all set when
he showed up. He took one look
at the safe setting there in the half
light and told me it was about strong
enough to hold my reputation as a
stage mechanic. After he had kicked
verbally till the air was full of red
dust he went over and, putting his
realism on a firm footing, landed
on the safe. Well my reputation was
a whole lot safer than Louie's toe,
for he broke it at the first joint and

gruffly.
