the stage funny little pantomime was in
dulged in by long, thin graybeard in bed. A
nightmare attacked him, and. as he rolled out
of bed and down a runway into the audience,
various figures, Representing t-minism, art
drunkenness, law, the street and hre depart
ments, milliner, diver, due, all sorts and
conditions of humans and symbols, raced by
and threatened him. At length t whole tribe
shot down into the audience. where roped
arena had been formed and did a grotesquc
parade full of funny antics and led by lovely
graceful ma -domo in ballet costume. Into
their midst ran a couple of professional dan
GERS, who went through series of gyrations in
approved modern styles. Then the whole army
charged back upon the stage to the tune OF a
mad fanfare from the band: Steeg's red, white
and blue blarers. Those gentlemen, by the
way provided wonderfully noisy and ener-
getic background throughout the evening, not
the least creditable fac~or of which was the
unctuous leadership of the stout smiling d.
rector Herr Steeg himself Roars of approval
greeted the close of the impromptu.
Some of the prominent folk who lent their
great names to the occasion follow: Jerome
Myers, who has painted the East Side in
Whistlerian nocturnes as fer back any one
can recall seemed to enjoy this life on the
upper East Side. His wife, as you doubtless
know, is the popular sculptor cartoonist, and
his daughter, Virginia. one Of the dearest lit
tie sprites in the dance world. Pop Hart was

characteristic note in his costume was basket

panic spread quickly from state to state. Manu-

shut down tens of thousands of operatives were
thrown out of work. In New York the parks and
squares filled with hungry crowds clamor-
ing for bread and becoming desperate. As their
hunger grew they accused spectators in grain
of cornerng the market RiOting commenced but
stopped before it got away from control by
the simple expedient of putting a multitude of
men at work in Central Park and elsewhere as an
emergency measure for the safety of the city.
