c. Green, BRIGHT
PARTICULAR STAR
OF ELkS' MINSTREL

Away back in the dim ages of
American theatrical history small
boy used to bum" two bit" piece
from his paternal ancestor each and
every Saturday morning and passing
down the classic thoroughfares of
Boston, would climb the stairs Of
Keith's Bijou theater on Washing
ton street. Frequently this youth
would have to wrestle for room with
the "sweepers out" who were re. .
moving the souvenirs Of last nights
performance. But at any rate he
started at 10 a. m. and STAYED by the
show until 10 p. m. devouring the
show and his hand carried lunch at
one and the same time-all for one
price of admission.
This marvellous power of assimila
tion is still characteristic Of our

and embracing triumph on divers
and sundry stages, e. Clifton Green
has continued to assimilate the good
things of life-especially of the life
