utu Cloak Model Would and IT, sir Herbert Trees Henry Vl

husband did on his wife's in that Avery
 Hopwood concoction of clever stuff and
 makes her tired and long for something
 gayer and more entertaining. But in
 spite of it all, you had ter hand it to
 the Queen for when she turned on that
 Red Hat and finished talking to him
 the Cardinal looked like lemonade, when everybody else had ordered cock tail And the funny part about it all is that. although we know old Henery Sth
 was a sot and a flirt and just a near
 Rink, and all that, you can't hate him to save your life; there's something fas- cinating about the old rascal; it's not his red whiskerettes; nor his bleary eyes; nor his wobbly knees, but I guess it's that Barrie stuff-'What Every Woman
 Knows' it's charm, that's it; charm and old Henery Sth had it plus. When he
 gets mad with Woolsey and knocks the Pope's letter out of his hand with . scepter, it ain't place for a perfect lady, because you want to holler out I 'Hip-Hip Hooray,' and you couldn't do ] that at court, you know.
 From that moment, Name, it was the | toboggan for Woosley; his sun was al- | y point where he didn't have no idea of having every film he liked censored by Rome, and so he called in another preacher-a little, shriveled up, wizened l looking old man-the kind that didn't 1 have no more mind than a jaybird and he knew he could boss him, and so he 1 give Woolsey the back of his hand
 Name, when you start ter skiddin' you
 skid, dearie, don't you? Look at pr. Waite and William Jennings. When 1 Woosley sent up the papers of state to Henery Sth's office the next morn- ing the Cardinals jinx had been er- settin' up all night to see that l1e slipped in by mistake a list of all the 1 land and Tiffany junk he's grabbed to
 be made Pope with. There ain't noth- I ing so. fatal as writing to give you l erWay; you remember what Abe Hum
 mel said: Don't write, and fear no
 man; 4donE write, and fear no woman Well, this was the point where Sir Tree l had the chance of his4l life to: speak a spooch and he done it. believe me, with
 that Henry Irving Forbes Robertson elegance of diction that lasted 20
 minutes by the clock and got your goat
 like it did Cromwelrs, who boo-hooed
 and cried like girl, the gist of which | in up-to- date parlance being Good
 night, I have certainly made boob of
 myself. All the lords and things was
 just tickled to death when he got un-
 halted or un-frocked or whatever you
 call it, and that darling Dock of Nor l folk got a fat job with the new City
 Hall Gang. The poor Queen died and so
 did the Cardinal, and Anne Bullen got
 crowned queen at Westminster Abbey
 at the finish, but. I don't think any
 body envied her."
 | Back of us, between acts, two vim men fussed their heads off about whether Henery 9th founded the Epis- I copal church or not. The Presbyterian
 said he did and the Episcopal said lie didn't, because the English church had
 sent delegates to Rome in the third century and the Presbyterian said: Go
 tell that to the marines; your church wasn't no more founded by St. Peter
 than mine was. It looked like they was coming to blows but each time the
 curtain went tip and bluffed 'em- off,, | Honest to goodness, Name, it's aw- 1 ful e1evating to go to. see plays like ] Henery Sth. It's heap more educational ] than seeing Al Jolson or Gaby Delys. land as for the movies after this I I shant ever go to one that ain't i'm l proving to the mind, much as I love Fem. Henery Sth and plays like that
 gives you an awful good idea of his tory, too. couldn't help thinking how little we suspected that from the way | Henery 9th was carrying on with Anne, | that some day he'd be the cause of her losing gher bean just like poor Buck 1ingham. You can't depend on men, I though; they're so changeable; but it's history, I reckon, and when seen 1 Henery sth I just kept thinking all the time, what drama produced like that I with Teddy Roosevelt in it would be; bet we'd laugh ourselves to death; tdon't your"
