preservation of quaint negro speeches
For twenty years or more this card index
system has been in use. and now Mr.
Dickson can produce from dozen to a
hundred quotations upon any conceivable
topic of conversation, and of these one
or more can be guaranteed to mt patty
almost any situation which might arise
in real life or on the stage.
This system of preserving quotations
has been of value to Mr.. Dickson, not
only in writing his "Old Reliable stories.
but in making a play with these stories
as a basis.
Here is one of the characteristically
happy speeches with which Mr.. Dickson
has endowed his character in his play:
When iuck's agin a niger there amt
nothin' to do but to lay down on his
back and look up and say. 'Hyah / is,
Luck. what yo' gwine do with me?
THE MISSION OF THE THEATER.-
Mr. Thomas f. Shea, the noted actor. is
credited with the following:
Il cannot subscribe to the statement
attributed to some of my fellow-artists
that the theater has but one purpose,
that of amusing
1.-The stage should exert an influence
for good, extending beyond the reach of
the actors voice and the glare of the
footlights.
Il believe there are great and perma-
nent benefits which the theateF can een-
fer, and I may as well confess that it
is my desire and ambition to ASSOCIATE
my name with them"

Maria Rosa" by Angel Guimera, with
Dorothy Donnelly as the star. will be
presented at the Belasco Theater tomof-
row evening, for a weeks engagement.
with matinees Wednesday and Saturday.
1t is said to be the dramatization of an
actual occurrence in the mountains Of
Catalonia, the northeastern province OF
Spain, which was told to Guimera three
weeks after it happened. The playwright
pondered over the story, fraught with hu-
man passion, love. fear, hate and re-
venge, all day long as his mule steadily
carried him up the mountain pass to the
home of Maria Rosa. The plot took
form in his brain and. when he reached
the inn at night, all that remained to be
done was to put the dialogue on paper.
This he did in forty-eight hours.
Maria Rosa" was first played in Bar
celona. Jose Echegaray, who has been
called "the Castilian Shakespeare" trans
lated it from the Catalan dialect into

A DANCE THAT MAKES ONE GASP
There's new dance that is sad to put
all the .'trots,' ''glides' and hugs into
the .'also danced class" It's called the
punch bowl glide" and it's the dizZiest,
most ethereal dance America has ever
seen. Most of its steps are done in the
air.
When Fred Stone did his lariat dance
in THE Old Town" three years ago he
thought he had reached the limit as Tar
as inventing new dances was concern
ed. However when The Lady OF the
Siipper'' was planned he set about TO
evolve a new dance that would make
audiences sit up and take notice, and the
punch bowl glide was the result

Newman, the travel lecturer, tells the

In the house of commons no incident

that of a member who. after an eloquent

the bench behind him.
"A Young member who had just made
his maiden speech sat upon his new SILK
hat There We're roars of laughter. An
Irish member arose and gravely said:

late the honorable gentleman upon the
happy circumstance that when he sat on
his hat his head was not in it.
