JOIN, Cumberland
Once an Artist
In az, OlUI Wagon

John Cumberland, the inimitable
farceur, who shares with Florence
Moore the principal honors in "Parlor,
Bedroom and Bath" the farce hit al
the Republic Theatre, has had larger
share of the ups and downs than
usually fall to the lot of the actor,
but the "down" that fingers longest in
his memory is the period when he de-
seconded from the tall peaks OF art to
the humble station of cook in an old
fashioned owl wagon.
A number of years ago there was
period Of inaction on the part OF the
comedian. Something had to be done.
One morning Cumberland read an adj
vertisement to the effect that night
cook was wanted on a lunch wagon on
the Brooklyn end OF the Brooklyn
Bridge. Up to this time the actor had
never cooked anything, but he made ap-
plication for the job. This is how he
tells the story:
81 got the job and was 20 work from
at night until in the morning.
This night work appealed to me. for it
gave me time to look around the the
atrical agencies in the day.
Seven o'clock found me in charge
of the owl wagon, but things were very
quiet until about 10, and from that
time on | was certainly one busy little
man. The types that came in to be
served were mostly printers who
worked over on the New York side and
'roughnecks.' One of the first gues-
lions asked me by one of the men
was, Where's JIM jim was my
predecessor and, although a good cook,
he had been fired for tapping the till.
"The boys all watched my egg-fry
ing, meat-cutting, coffee drawing very
intently. Their talk was mostly of

Jim had succeeded one night in throw

done each one up individually. /
