.Manaaer Threw Real Money on Stage
and the Mob Scene Became at
once Realistic.

"stage money" that commodity
which has been the butt Of Jokes for
generations. may soon lose its signia-
canoe II the example Just set by one
manager is followed generally.
This wise individual is going to put
on new play very soon and re-
hearsaIs are now In progress. There is
mob scene in the play and the hero
at critical moment throws handful
Of money to the crowd.
When rehearsals first began the
stage manager found much difficulty in
getting the necessary "ginger" into the
scene, as the supernumeraries did not
show any great enthusiasm in scram-
bling for the coin. They knew its real
value.
Then bright idea struck the man
ager. He knew that as thespians get
no salary while rehearsing they are
sometimes hard up, SO he decided to
mix some real money with the stage
article that Is thrown to the crowd.
The effect was magical. The scram-
BILE is SO realistic that the manager is
looking forward anxiously tosthe first
night to see the effect on the audi
ence. But those who read this will
know the real secret Of the wonderful
acting"
