Kcmpton management, and keliy's Of

Thus Kelly got a toehold ON the
drama. 1t was Il tochold in all that
term can signify, rs both Kelly and
the drama were compelled to writhe In
agony time after time. He found th'.
going very harl. But believing abso'-
lutelv in himself he kept on. The re-
suit is the Lew Kelly OF today.
Lew Kelly is ono OF the few cosn-
odianS on the DurlesQue circuit NhO
keeps far away from burlCsque. His
comedy is the purest and most orif:inal
of character studies. For ten years he
has been presenting n character he
calls prof. Dope" which. In a legiti-
mate production would probably have
given him high place among the ere
ators of eccentric comedy figures.
He is probably the only person in the
burlcsque field who practices the so
called rcpresscd method of th l"giu'
mate drama. In Prof Dope he gives q
study that wcll-known critics have pro
nounCed an almost perfect caricature
with absolutely none OF the broadness
that Is usual in suCh productions.
Personally Kelly is very likeabi'
chap a smart Widc-awakr Westerne'
with a distinct personality. He take
his work very seriously and ndds to hi!
Dope character each year what he car
without spOiling its consistency. lie
Is ambitious to play other comedy char
actcrs and as he is still young man
ii may be that he will be given chance
on tho legitimate stage.

Baseball Route
BY GARDNER MACK.

One of the great boons the activity
of the Federal League has conferred on
the public Is that it has given the base
hall players something else to think
about besides going on the stage. In
the old days when q man SO managed
to conceal his person in the dust around
second base that the second baseman
or the shortstCp couldn't find him a
sufficient number Of times per season
to gain a reputation as star CASE
stealer. when the season came to an
end he cssayed to steal briiliance from
the stage stars.
Or. II he was able to lean against the
fast ones or the curves of the pitchers
with equal nonChalance and consistcnce
to maintain a position at the top Of the
list of batting averages week after
week as they came from league head
quarters, he sought to have a musical
comedy written around his personality
that he might gather in kale while the
electric bulbs shown as handily as he
did when the sun was in the ascendant.
The situation was such at one time
with Mike Donlon, Ty Cobb, Joe Tinker,
Jimmy Callahan, Hughy Jennings. and
Christy Matthewson on the stage and

where he was thinking about it, which

the thcater didn't know whether to
carry Spaulding guide or a pair of
opera glasses to the theater with i:im
in order to thoroughly appreciate what
was going on.
AS actors, not a single one of these
men lost any OF their baseball cunning.
But the poor public had to stand for
lot of curious comedy and alleged
music until 1t almost lost interest in
the theaters.
Has Box Score Name.
All Of this is probably why Lew
Kelly. the eccentric comedy star OF the
Behman show, at the Gayety this week,
never advertised the fact that he began
his career as an actor by being a ball
player. 1t was perfectly natural that
man with a name like that should
start out to be ball player. If ever
there was monicker cut to fit box

actually went into the business of being
ball plyaer in order to get Job on
the stage, too. He wanted to earn
money enough to enable him to apply
for the job of comedian In the Kempton
