MISS TAYLOR'S SONG

THE pathetic ballad" which Laurette
L Taylor sings with such simula-
ton of intense feeling in the second
act Of "Out There" is song which she
sang with great earnestness many years
ago as a petite child artistic" which
was her programme billing when sh2
first went on the stage and played
dingy little cheap vaudeville theatres
in the waste places of New England.
She declares that she sings II now with
the same tremulous CULVER that she in
iected into it as a child, though she IS
now consciously striving for laughter,
whereas in the earlier days the easy o.
the furtive tear was her great desire
The song is what Eddie Foy might cal.
a pretty little thing" and it bears the
title of Weep No More, My Lady "
Here are some Of the words:
81 was sitting at a table
In concert hall one night,
Where songs and music filled the air
And lights were burning bright,
When shout of laughter sounded
Der the old pianos ring,
And woman staggered forward
And volunteered to sing.
saw the woman standing there.
A picture of disgrace;
heard her voice ring loud and clear,
I gazed into her face.
And ! hung my head in sorrow.
There amid that motley throng.
For recognized the singer
And | recognized the song.
CHORUS
weep no more, my LADY,
Twas a song of a bygone day,
An old familiar melody
That rolled the years away.
And saw another picture
OF the singer and the song.
In my old Kentucky home
SO far away

for where so many people are concerned
it is certain that some Will become sick,
or prove unsatisfactory. or merely
change their minds. Changes Of this
sort arc noted in the booking Offices on
a pink slip. wherefore the pink slip has
come to have the same significance IN
vaudeville that attaches to the blue en-

Nor does the work of the booking
man end when he has guarded against
these possibilities, for there always is

THE CHAIR WHO CAME BACK

The second act began with a spirit
uous cabaret scene, in which the young
fellow. Spencer Lee, or Henry Hull, or
whoever he was, got very reckless and
rickety.
"Theres where Spencer Lee gets
his" clamored Clarence.
There's Margaret Wycherly," |
said as the heroine cabaret singer ap-
peared. All that drinking on the stage
had begun to affect me. Earlier in the
evening could have sworn that Mar
garet Wycherly was going to play the
cid medium. At any rate she was
passing fair.
go on; that's Mary NASH" said
Clarence, fevcrshly.
That's right, too" | exclaimed.
"Probab'y Margaret Wyeherly got
sick at the last moment, and they
asked her to play the part. They say
she's very quick
Meanwhile there was no seance N
sight There wouldn't be any, prob
ably. till the fellow had delirum
tremens. | wished it would come soon;
the light was beginning TO hurt my
eyes. When the young hero got very
drunk he was carried out By blum
old gentleman disguised as a sea
captain They couldn't fool me; he
was the police inspector himself, and
that was Just one of his professional
methods. He was being carried of to
Shanghai; that'd be fine place to
hold a seance. Nobody hut a first elass
drsmatist would have thought of that.
The play was little slow in getting
started, but after all il took long
while to get to Shanghai. And il paid,
TOO. II was worth while, just for the
spirit of the thing the peoples and
opium and everything. This fellow
Jules Eckcrt WELLER had a fine sense
OF dramatic fitness, as William Archer
put il.
was getting bit worried about .hs
line who killed Spencer Leep he
was probably put out of the way on the
ride over to China, figured out, and
the police inspector who had followed
him across got up a seance, SO that lie
could give his ghost the third degree.
This was certainly getting TO be an
unusual melodrama. .-.r.
Clarence queered the whole play By
finally getting a programme at the end
of the second act. The programme In
sisted that we were at 1.-THE Man Who
Came Back"
THAT explains it," Clarence said, N
the tone Of some one making remark

said had left my manners in the rec.
ord cabinet. and it confirmed Clarence.
was quite put out. II we hadn't found
that programme | would have seen thu
best melodrama in New York. II would
have combined all the big things people
quoted from "The Thirteenth Chair
with the thrilling moments of "The
Man Who Came Back" It would have
grown. as all great art must grow, out
Of happy accident. II would have
been called THE Chair Who Came
Back"
If the New York theatres we're ALL
on one street there'd be a whole lot "
odd plays in store for people.

Abolish treating" open two hund-
red gardens" with their tables and
chairs. Make your men sit down to
their glass of Los Angeles beer or Cal
ifornia wine. Make the free lunch"
of sandwich or a cup of soup COM
pulsory with the drink, as in a res
taurant. And have two licenses-one
for beer and soft drinks, one for
wine and soft drinks. No garden to
have both licenses. I do not recall
that this has ever been suggested be-
fore; but Il is an important point; and
1t has its prototypes in Europe
where the drink problem is not a
real problem at all in any country. 1t
is only in our own United States that
a mans throat becomes civic, state
and national Issue. This Is the only
country in the world which has hys-
terics of righteousness as to our
neighbor's glass. And it's all our own
fault! We are TO blame for the drunk

looms that make drunkards-it's us.
