Why Does Brooklyn Provoke Laughter?

There is conviction, born of long
experience in theatregoing, that the
surest way to evoke hearty laughter in
the playhouse is to knock" nearby
or rival city. The "knock" may be
obvious or it may be implied. Perhaps
the implied criticism is the surest fire.
If playing St. Paul all that is neces-
sary is to "take a crack" at Mime
apolis. If in Kansas City fire little
hot shot at St. Louis. If tarrying for
a night in Scranton imply that Wilkes
Barre is terrible place.
But the greatest laugh getter of all
is Brooklyn. Any reference to Brook
lyn in a Manhattan theatre evokes
shricks of laughter-not chuckles, but
loud outlaws. The thing is absolutely
inevitable.
In Someone in the House" a re-
porter from "The Times" is announced
and the fussy gentleman in the play,
who is courting publicity, is all agog
with excitement. He sees his name
featured in an importanat story. Then,
'ust as he is leaving the stage, he
giances at the reporters card again.
My God" he cries in disappoint-
ment, "it's The Brooklyn Times,w

Huge Drama,
Not a Pageant

Freedom" the big spectacular pa
triotic production which Julie Opp
Fayersham and Lee Shubert will pre-
sent at one of the largest New York
theatres next month, was first con-
ceived as a pageant by c. Lewis Hind,
who came to this country to represent
the Association for Assisting Disabled
Naval and Military Officers Of the Eng
lish-sp speaking Peoples. When he dis
cussed the proposition with L. Lyall
Swete, the prominent stage producer,
Swete told him the idea was play,
rot pageant; so together they devel-
oped "Freedom" in a huge drama Of
thirty-sevcn scenes, enlisting thou
sand characters into its action.
The drama and its production has
two-fold object. One is to raise funds
for carrying on the work of the Asso-
citation for Disabled Officers and the
other is to show the birth and growth
of freedom from the time of Alfred
the Great to the present. day. The
main events in the history Of the Anglo
Saxon race struggling for freedom are
pictured. Each event is presented in
dramatic and not in pageant form.
Carrying the connecting links of these
episodes is the character Of Freedom.
When Freedom" was completed the
authors realized the gigantic problem
Of getting the play produced Mrs.
Julie Opp Faversham heard the play
and Immediately undertook the task Of
securing the necessary financial sup
port. Lee Shubert volunteered to put
up half the cost of production provid-
ing Mrs. Faversham could raise the
other half. Through her efforts Mr..
and Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James, Mr.. and
Mrs. W. X. Vanderbilt, Mr.. and Mrs.
II. P. Dawson, Mrs. Robert Bacon, Mr.
and Mrs. George Armsby, Mrs James
Creelman, A. w. Mellon and Mr.. and
Mrs. c. Lewis Hind subscribed the nec-
essary money to take the balance of the
stock. Thus SO per cent of the profits
go to the funds of the Association for
Assisting Disabled Officers.

patient, the bedding, and the clothes
into which hesneezes, coughs, or splits.
The cloths should be burned, or put
into covered receptacles until they
can be boiled. After being boiled for
fifteen minutes, they can be washed,
dried, and used again with entire
safety.
Until attention is centered upon the
fact, few people realize how many

their way to face, nose, and mouth.
It is well-nigh impossible to break. the
habit. 1t is easier to form the new
nursing habit of frequently washing
the hands.
One of the head physicians at mil
itary cantonment, one who has had
charge of thousands of cases of influ-
enza, says that he thinks that one of
the chief advantages of a contagious
disease mask is the fact that the
wearer cannot get his soiled hands to
his mouth. But the masks do strain
disease germs out of the air which the
nurse breathes and should be worn
for this purpose also.
Until such time as one can secure
or make masks of several layers of
fine mesh gauze, a folded pocket hand
kerchief can be used to cover the nose
and mouth. In using mask of any
kind, it is important, of course, to see
that one does not turn the outside il.
side. Otherwise, the nurse will make
blunder similar to that of the man
who carefully washed the cherries he
was eating in a glass of drinking

81. Winn5red
and the Tree

One story of the origin of the green
tree as the Christmas tree among the
people of northern Europe is given in
a legend of st. Winnifred. It is one
Of the many thousands of those SIM
pie and beautiful beliefs that have at
tached themselves to the midwinter
festival and which generally pass now
under the name of christmas myths"
It is related that st. Winnifred, a great
Christian missionary, began cutting
down sacred" oak which had been
the object of worship by the northern
pagans whom he was seeking to lead
Alright. While he was hewing down the
huge tree it was blasted by a sudden
whirlwind. Close beside it was a
young fir tree, which was not harmed
either by the whirlwind or by the fall
of the giant oak. Then st. Winnifred
is reported to have spoken as follows
to the paganS:
'This little tree. a young child Of
the forest, shall be your holy tree to-
night. It is the wood of peace, for
your homes are built of 1t. It is the
sign Of an endless life, for its leaves
are always green. See how it points
toward heaven! Let this be called the
tree Of the Christ Child. Gather about
it not in the wild woods, but in your
homes; there It will shelter no deeds
of blood. but loving gifts and acts of
kindness"
The fir tree, the common evergreen
Of the northern regions, became the
holy tree Of the converted pagans, and
in its honor or in memory Of the
thoughts it stood for they decorated it
with lights and gifts at Christmas.
