THIRTEEN HIS LUCKY NUMBER
Robert Hilliard Reverses the Old
Superstitions and Prefers 1t

Nearly every one Knows that actors,
and for that matter actresses also, are
the most superstitious of persons and
sometimes their odd fancies play off at
n freakish tangent. One of the anus
ing things Is that quite often they run
counter to the time-honored superstition
of the stage
Robert Iilliard. who begins an en-
Gagement at the Garrick Theatre next
Monday night, Is a practical. common
sense American, but about some of the
ordinary trines he Is quite as supersti-
thus as the old negroes of the Georgia
cotton fields or the Mississippi levee.
In one thing he is very much like
President Wilson, and that is in his
belief that the much-dreaded thirteen Is
a lucky number, and especially his lucky
number. and despite the protests of
a!armists Mr.. Hillard always dotes on
thirteen. This season he started out on
the thirteenth of September in his new
comedy. "A Prince There Was" which is
