A HAIR RAISING EXPERIENCE.
A Pleasant One This Time.

Seldom has 1t become the lot of an
entertainer to be in a position to en-
tertain and at the same time provide
the means of raising hair, but such is
true of Miss Sheehan and her readings
if the following story, as vouched for,
Is true.
1t was In Missouri, and young
man was attending concert with his
mother, and Miss Sheehan was the en-
tertaner. The young man previously
had been trying to train his hair to
| pompadour and had had considerable
trouble In inducing it to become tract
able. During the course of the enter
tainment, Miss Sheehan had occasion
| to render a new number of especial
| pathos and spirit, entitled "The IT.
tnnic." 1t is piece that calls for un-
usual ability and presence, but one
that will bring out the finer sensibili-
ties of all who hear it.
The young pompadour man sat with
eyes and ears wide open, without a
sound, except an occasional hiss from
between his set lips, and long drawn
sigh of mental and physical relaxation
at the finish. After moment he turn
ed to his mother, and said, Gee,
, wasn't that great?" and upon receiv-
ing an affirmative reply in hushed
whisper he added, "Gosh, Ma, I'd like
to hear that every day, 1t was great
for my pompadour, my hair went right
up and stayed there until the finish.
I'd have a dandy If l could do that
every day."
One cannot help but feel that Miss
Sheehan's offerings all tend to create
intense interest in the subject in hand.
Pathos, comedy and drama have their
part In her repertoire and each is done
with the same degree of perfection.
Miss Sheehan appears here with the
Theresa Sheehan Concert company.
