A few years later Harry Kellar
played an entire summer season at the
Boston Museum, of which l was the
acting manager; and as he occupied
my office dressing room l was taken
into his Masonic confidence and in
ltiated into the mysteries of many of
his tricks, but these condolences hav-
ing been Masonic l cannot reveal them
now. | recall one matinee when Pro-
fessor Hermann was in the audience
sitting in the front row watching Kel-
lar. was in the stage box watching
them both. Kellar (for one of the
tricks) crossed the platform over the
orchestra pit and went among the au-
dlence borrowing coins, rings, etc. He
came to Herrmann-stopped before
hlm-and was about to ask him for a
coin, when Hermann rose suddenly,
thrust his hand into the fold of Kel-
lars vest and drew forth large white
rabbit. 1t was moment of amaze
ment and embarrassment for Kellar.
The audience applauded, then both the
magicians laughed and shook hands
cordially. And l think Harry Kelar
claimed and took the rabbit. Herr
mann was great practical joker. I
remember, oh, many years ago, he was
the happy possessor of one of the new
ly imported canes with hollow head
ana squirting aperture, through
which cologne or any other liquid
could be elected. He was like a boy
with a new toy; and I came in for a

.urney Bears
Bernard Shuu,
An Old Grudge
Playwright Goue Him
Ancients to Play, Not
Handsome Heroes

Edmund Gurney, now playing the
Lord Bishop of Lancashire with Edith
Wynne Matthison in the revival Of
AThe Servant in the House" at the
Vieux Colombicr, bears a grudge
against George Bernard Shaw.
Before Shaw engaged him for the
Court Theatre, in London, Gurney
played handsome leading men at Drury
Lane and the Adelphi. But ever since
Shaw cast him for the part of the dis
agreeable old man in sYou Never Can
Tell" Gurney has played nothing but
unpleasant old men. He has appeared
in more Shaw plays than any other
player known, having created Malone
In "Man and Superman," the priest in
"John Bulls Other Island" and other
roles. He has also played with Ellen
Terry in captain Brassbound's Con-
version"
The two Shaw plays for which Mr..
Gurney has an especial affection are
"The Doctors Dilemma" and "Pyg-
malion." He played DR.. Blenkinsop.
the hard-headcd "man of business" in
the first, and on the flyleaf of the copy
of the play which Shaw gave him is
inscribed: "To Edmund Carney, who
made more of the part of Blenkinsop
than l." Gurney made his first appear
ance in this country in the part of the
Dustman in "Pygmalion." When Shaw
arranged with the late Sir Herbert Tree
and Mrs. Pat Campbell for a produc-
ton at His Majesty's Theatre, in Lon
don, he made one stipulation-that Ed
mund Gurney must be cast as the Dust
man, since he wrote the part for him.
Gurney maintains, despite his grudge,
that Shaw is much maligned man and
does not deserve his reputation for
curtness. He is always courteous to
his company, delightful stage di-
rector, never criticises any member of
his company in the presence of others
but is known not to suffer fools
gladly.
Mr.. Gurney thinks that there must
be telepathic communication between
Charles Ram Kennedy and George Ber-
nard Shaw, who are lifetime friends.
"Or why" he asks pathetically, "would
Kennedy cast me for Timothy Hodge,
the old money grabber in THE Army
With Banners.' and now put met into
the part of the worldly and cynical
Lord Bishop of Lancashire, in The
Servant in the House? They are fine
parts, mind you, but it would be so
pleasant to be hero again"

Cloak and Suit
Business NOT
For Carson
By Harriette- Underhill

James Carson was born in Russia
thirty years ago, and eighteen years
after this interesting event he found
himself in Chicago, playing the role of
Patrick Casey, an Irish politician.
Lest ye forget, Carson is the shorter
OF the two owners of "The Brides
Shop" which is the habitat of "Flo-
Flo" in her first act costume and, lest
ye forget that first act costume-but
then, no one ever would. Suffice to
say that "Flo-Flo" is a corset model
and after she has posed for half an
hour the owner of the shop is arrested.
though, OF course, one may expect any
thing in this day of rampant raiders.
1t was while Carson was arrested
that we sought to talk to him. The
manager of the theatre sneaked us in
through the iron door that ALWAYS
opens into the stage box and across
the stage. which we negotiated without
having sandbag hit us on the head or
tripping over one of those boxes which
control the spotlight and rise up out
OF the floor to trap the uninitiated. We
climbed to Carson's dressing room, and
then, like the King of France, the man
ager marched us back again, for Car
SON was not there. And by the time
we got back to stage level Carson had
been released by the minion of the law
and was. in his shop again.
This time we waited right down in

The Hand Is Quicker Than the Eye

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In your dramatic columns re-
Gently it was stated that this city "has
never had a theatre devoted exclu
sively, and continuously, to conjuring."
If | "conjure" my memory rightly, the
Hartz brothers opened little theatre

Hotel, between Washington and Wa

vouch for any great continuity to their
occupancy of this theatre Git was longer
than for one consecutive week), but it
was devoted exclusively tU conjuring.
One of the Hartz brothers was after
ward, for many years, manager of the
Euclid Avenue Opera House, Cleveland,
Ohio. In appearance he was not unlike
the great Hermann.
Among the magicians of early days
I note an old "Boston Museum" friend,
Professor Anderson, whose subtitle
was Scotchman). l have seen
Houdini here, and knew Robert Heller:
was in San Francisco with him in 1877.
The Davenport brothers, although
principally known as Spiritualists, also
did tricks and sleight of hand. There
was also one "Mortimor," who did g
summer season at the Boston Museum
about thirtyseven years ago, and re-
member, with amusement at his mis-
hap, that Frank Drew (John Drew's
uncle) was his assistant, and one night
Frank Mayo, Sol Smith Russell and l
sat in the stage box and laughed
heartily at dear old Frank, in the op-
posite entrance, trying to blow lyco-
podium lighting from flash-box which
had not been lighted, consequently no
flame, no fash! The three are gone
now-peace to their memories.

Police Inferfered
When Naughty Shasu
Play Had Premiere

"Mrs. Warren's Profession" in
which the Washington Square Players
will present Mary Shaw at the Ma
jestic Theatre, Brooklyn, the week Of
May 6, is probably the only play in
the history of the theatre which ran
just one night when first given and
was later revived, long and success
fully. The reason it was taken off
when first given was not because of
lack of interest. 1t was because Of
too much interest.
Twelve yers ago the play ran one
night. Mary Shaw played then, as
now, the part of Mrs. Warren and
Arnold DAILY played Frank Gardiner.
The house was sold out within few
hours after the box office opened. and
on the first night such crowds gathered
in front of the theatre that police re-
serves had to be called to keep order.
Tickets sold for as high as twenty
five dollars, because rumor had been
circulated that the police might in
terfere and close the theatre. For
once, rumor was right. Representa-
tives of the Society for the Suppress
sion of Vice were present as we'll as
representatives of the Police Depart
ment. They claimed that the play was
a menace to. public morals, and their
claim was upheld by the courts. The
next night the theatre was dark.
When the Washington Square Play
ers decided to revive the play there
were many to predict that once again
the police would interfere, and on the
opening night at the Comedy Theatre
Police Commissioner Enright had rep
resentatives there. But this time there
was no claim made against the plays
morality. The times had marched.

one until everybody had married every
body and the curtain sank contentedly,
and then we caught him as he was
about to leap away.
Of course, we knew that Carson
would be serious-comedan always
are-so we were not surprised when he
talked of the war and Of the Liberty
Loan and of his family and his place in
the country. And he told us again how
serious a matter it is, and how difficult,
to make people laugh.
"For several reasons, working in
musical comedy is much more difficult
the first place, one never can be natu-
raj or his lines are lost entirely. He
must keep up the tempo and the noise.
The musical comedy stage is no place
for subtlety. Then the man who writes
the book is chiefly concerned with the
lyrics, as though any one ever under
stood them, and he does not pay much
attention to the lines or the business.
Furthermore, the author never fur
nishes any dialect, as he does in drama,
and one is expected to produce this
from his bag Of tricks.
"And then the audiences-you have no
idea how difficult it is to keep on being
funny, or, rather, trying to be funny
when you see rows and rows of faces
| regarding you without smile. Some
of them seem to be saying, There,
make us laugh, if you can!' or else,
isn't he silly? He hasn't said funny
thing; forgetting entirely that the au~
thor, and not the actor, is to blame for
that
"And the greater an actor becomes
the more difficult is his lot For one
thing, after a man attains a certain
position he must no longer look for
part. He may not seek the managers
he must wait for them to come to MIN.
And what if they do not happen to
think of it for, say, few months, then
what happens? An, one may starve
to death in his glory. And season
no longer means forty weeks; no, in
deed. Twenty-Five weeks now is
good season. So, you see, one does
not become an actor for money, but
for love, and once on the stage the
actor never can leave it.
"For instance, my brother has won
derful cloak and suit business in St.
Louis and he would have me join him.
But could be cloak and suit man? !?
Yes, but in real life-well, it is a good
business, flourishing business

Nature Protects Butterfly.

When the butterfly is at rest, 1t
folds It's wings over it's back, so that
only the drab, protectively colored low
er surface is visible. In this posture
the insect is of very low prominence
from any angle.
The moth, unlike the butterfly, flies
at night. Obviously bright coloring
would be to no purpose in attracting
mates. The moth Is CARRIED in dull
tints, which render 1t inconsplcuous
during the day, it's period of rest.
There Is no need of hiding the upper
surface Of its wings; SO a convenient
means to distinguish moths from but

at rest, fold their wings above their
backs, as stated, while the former

CAMPAIGN PROGRESSING.
Mrs. Arthur f.. j. Reilly to Explain
Child welfare to Polish People.

Mrs. Arthur E. j. Reilly, a member
of the women's committee of the
Council of Defense, will speak at a
meeting of the Polish people of the
city this evening at s o'clock, in the
Sacred Heart hall. The purpose of the
meeting is to discuss with the Polish
citizens in their own language, the
plans for the Child's Welfare cam
paign to be carried on in this city
from July "a to August 8.
Inasmuch as the Polish population
is very large in New Britain, it is i'm
pOrtant that they be given a thorough
explanation of the reasons for this
nationwide campaign, so that their
children under five years of age may
be registered, weighed and measured
in compliance with the request of the
government, as we'll as all other chill
dren in the city That there is no
charge connected with the NATTER
and that the sole purpose is to give
the government an idea as to the
health standards of its future genera
ton, will all be explained by Mrs.
Reilly tonight Circulars, printed in
the Polish language, will be given out
to these people this evening and it Is
expected they Will respond readily to
the call When the campaign opens.

TO Learn Fate of Sun

. It is by means of new stars that as
tronomers hope to establish what will
be the ultimate fate of the sun and its
attendant planets. Every star, and
the sun is q star, is rushing through
space at enormous speed. The sun
is travelling toward Vega with q veloc>
ity of II miles a second. Other stars
are known which possess a speed of
$50 miles q second. There are in the
sky great clouds Of dark meteors. such
as obstruct our view of the milky way.
When a star hits one of these clouds
there is a flash of fire as it tears its
way through. If the swarm Is small
the star may escape, but If it is large
the star is destroyed and It's frag-
ments go to increase the cloud that
caused its destruction. The English
astronomer who first observed the new
star, says that it represents a catas-
trophe of enormous magnitude in III
conceivably remote fields.

NO CHILD LABOR IN
GOVERNMENT WORK
Firms Taking orders From Uncle
Sam Must Not Violate Terms
of Federal Law.

New York, July 16.-The National
Child Labor Committee looks upon
the new ruling of the War Policies
Board as a distinct step forward in
the effort to obtain protection for Am
erican children. This ruling specifies
that in all contracts for government
work the contractor shall not employ
any children in violation of the terms
of the federal child labor law which
has been declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court. That is, The
contra ctor shall not directly or indi-
rectly employ in the performance Of
the contract any minor under the age
of IA years, or permit any minor be-
tween the age of IA and 16 years to
work more than hours in any one
day, more than six days in any one
week, or before 6 q. m. or after p.
m"
Owen r. Lovejoy, Secretary of the
National Child Labor Committee, in
commenting on this ruling said "The
government again puts itself on rec
ord as strongly opposed to the en-
ployment of children. 1T is part Of
the war program that the children
must be kept from feeling the effects
of the war ,either through a lowering
education or premature work in fac
tories and mills. The action of the
Supreme Court in declaring the fed
eral child labor law unconstitutional
left the children without any national
measure of protection, and we know
that many of them have been sent
back to the mills and factories from
which they were taken last year. But
now that the War Policies Board has
automatically restored the provisions
of the federal law in all goVernm ent
contracts, we may look forward con-
fidently to success in our effort to OBJ
tain a new national law. Julia c..
Lathrop, Chief of the Children's Bu-
reau, says with regard to the ruling,
"This action affords a large measure
of protection and is very encourage

THE PRICE YOU PAY

II know I ought to take treatment;
I have been running down for the
last year or two. l am all tagged out,
have no am bition, worry from morn
ing till night, don't care whether I
am dead or alive, have lost weight and
cannot do the same work / used to
do some years ago. If [ were as
strong as l was, l could earn good
d good specialist but L cannot afford

You arc paying for it NOW, my
friend, and dearly; yet you do not
get it.
Let mo tell you why.
Your health is your capital; your
working capacity is the interest you
are drawing,
A good manager never spends more
than his interest.
y Should he begin to draw on the
capital his interest would, of course,
decrease.
And what are you doing?
You allow your health to run down
more and more; therefore, you cam
not work and earn what you used to.
Do you see the point? You are draw
ing on your capitalization is your
hcalth-by allowing it to run down,
and so the interest (your working
capacity is steadily growing smaller.
You used to make good money:
now you earn about half OF what you
used to get.
To make two, three or four dollars
VAS play to you; and you had all
your heart and soul in your work.
These happy days are gone.
You now barely make a living and
a find it almost beyond your strength.
And you shudder at the thought Of
what will happen when the final
breakdown comes.
Figure out in dollars and cents
what you have lost already and you
will be amazed at the amount; and
what you are gong to lose is beyond
estimation.

You spend it. And what do you get
for it. Worry, anxiety, dependency,
want and deprivation for your family
The dollar you take out of your
pocket and spend for treatment with
an experienced specialist is not an
expense. 1t is an investment. And in
return you get increased working
ability, higher wages. health and hap
