! a broom. Mile. La Verne never let on
who she was and hustled out in great
/ agitation. The landlady explained the
situation to Alice later and the poor
maid was heartbroken and refused TO
\ be cOnsoled until Mile. La Verne re-
turned and treasured her.
VI. Tom Wise, who IS as wide "a he
/ is high and as jolly as he is big. has
! been so aptly described by VIII
/ Dunkle that IL would be an attempt TO
paint the lily CTom Wise being the
/ lily) TO add anything further. We
might say, however. that Tom Wise Is
as funny of the stage as he is before
/ the fOOtlights, and il is a rare treat
/ just TO see him walk about or gesticu-
/ late, or listen TO him talk. He has
had many amusing experiences that
we couldn't begin 20 enumerate mere.
nor could we do him justice in our
| limited space, which today, has been
stretched 10 the busting point.
VI Carol Daily wouldn't be with us
| if certain Denver sheriff hadn't had
a lot OF confidence in his word of
honor. In the western city during an
engagement as manager DAILY hired
horse and wagon from a native for
use Of his scenic artist The horse
was TO be left in front of the theater
at ten o'clock, but as IL was raining
at ten o'clock the man didn't appear
with the outfit. In the meantime an
other native had hitched his horse
there and left IL. DAILY came out OF
the theater and seeing the horse as
sumed il was the one he had hired and
drove away with it, a short time
after the owner came along, couldn't
find his horse and notified the sheriff.
The sheriq got a posse and the posse
got guns and they all got on Days
trail. In a jiffy the latter was round
ed up with the goods on him, as II
We're, and as il was customary at the
time 10 treat the culprit TO a lynching
or some other mussy performance,
DAILY was rescued from an Infatuated
mob and bundled into the Jail just in
time to save his neck. He was sub
sequently released on testimony fur
nished by members of his company.

was recOunting the difficulties OF
breaking into the papers in New York.
His publicity man, however, once
framed
his play at the time was mob scene,
in which the mob was supposed 10
throw bricks, clubs and otherwise con-
duct themselves like any well regu-
lated mob should. 1t was arranged
that one of them should hit Gordon
on the bean with a papier mache DOR
mic which was accomplished. Where-
upon Gordon fell to the floor and sur
reptitiOusly smeared some oX-blood
over his face The curtain went down
before a Mortified audience and the
manager stepped out before II anc
asked If there was a physician IN the
audience. The physician came forth
an ambulance was called. ordon was
carried out and the whole distressing
affair was covered in the next edition
of the papers.

Mile. Edwina Levin appeared her
some year ago in Eggleston's Hoosier |

in the audience but she didn't know \

nieces mortified mother succeeded in
calming the child with some difficulty !
and all went well until the third act, ;
when the hero OF the play took Miss /
/ .evin in his two arms and planted "a /
kiss squarely upon both her lips, |
whereupon little niece could contain |
herself no longer and cried in a hor-
rified voice that could be heard all !
over the house. "Oh. Aunt Addie-
