"OVER THE TOP"
ARTHUR GUY EMPEY-
Copyright 1917 by Arthur Guy Empey

York, while the scene OF the second
act was the interior of the Diamond
Palace saloon, also on the Bowery.
In the play I took the part OF Abe
Switch, farmer, who had come from
Purnpkinville Center, Tenn, to make
his first visit to New York.
In the first scene Abe Switch meets
the proprietor of the Diamond Palace
saloon, a ramshackle affair which to
the owner was a financial loss.
The proprietor's name was Tom
Twistem, his bartender being named
Fillem Up.
After meeting Abe, Tom and Fille1n
Up persuaded him to buy the place,
pralsing it to the skies and telling
wondrous tales of the money taken
over the bar.
While they are talking, an old Jew
named Ikey Cohenstein comes along.
and Abe engages him for cashier. After
engaging Ikey they meet an old
Southern negro called Sambo, and
upon the suggestion Of key he is en-
gagged as porter. Then the three Of
them, arm in arm, leave to take pos
session of this wonderful palace which
Abe has just paid $1,000 for. (Cur-
tain.)
In the second act the curtain rises
on the interior Of the Diamond Palace
saloon, and the audience gets its first
shock. The saloon looks like a pig
pen, two tramps lying drunk on the
floor. and the bartender In a dirty
shirt with his sleeves rolled up, asleep
with his head on the bar.
Enter Abe, Sambo and Key, and the
fun commences.
One of the characters in the second
act was named Broadway Kate, and I
had an awful job to break in one Of
the Tommies to net and talk like a
woman.
Another character was Alkali Ike, an
Arizona cowboy, who just before the
close Of the play comes into the saloon
and wrecks it with his revolver.
We had eleven three-hour rehearsals
before 1 thought 1t advisable to pre-
sent the sketch to the public.
The whole brigade was crazy to
witness the first performance. This
performance was scheduled for Friday
night and everyone was full Of antici-
patton; when bang orders came
through that the brigade would move at
two that afternoon. Cursing and
binding was the order of things upon
the receipt Of this order, but we
moved.
That night we reached the little vii
lage Of s. and again went into rest
billets. We were to be there two
weeks. Our company Immediately got
busy and secured the village for
suitable place in which to present our
production. Then we received another
shock.
A rival company was already estab-
lished in the village. They called
themselves 'The Bow Bells" and
put on a sketch entitled, "Blighty-
What Hopes? They were the divi.
sional concert party.
We hoped they all would be soon
in Bllghty to give us a chance.
This company charged an admission
Of franc per head, and that night
our company went en- masse to see
their performance. It really was good.

These submarine destroyers they

guns everywhere there is room for

a boat came rushing by throwing

up and yelled, "Great God! Look at

she would think it was "sea-going
