position to "Blighty-What Hopesf'
When we returned to our billet from
the march, Curley Wallace, my the
atrical partner, came running over to
me and said he had found a swanky
place in which to produce our show.
After taking off my equipment, and
followed by the rest of the section, I
went over to the building he had picked
out. It was monstrous barn with a
platform at one end which would make
an ideal stage. The section got right
on the Job, and before night had that
place rugged out in apple-pie order.
The next day was Sunday and after
church parade we put all our time on
dress rehearsal, and it went fine.
I made four or five large signs an
nouncing that our company would open
up that evening at the King George the
Fifth theater, on the corner of Ammo
street and Sandbag terrace. General
admission was one-half franc. First
ten rows in orchestra one franc, and
boxes two francs. BY this time our
printed programs had returned from
London, and further announced that
on the night Of the first performance
a program would be given free of
charge to men holding tickets costing q
franc or over.
We had an orchestra Of seven men
and seven different instruments. This
orchestra was excellent, while they
were not playing.
The performance was scheduled to
start at 6 p. m.
At b:15 there was mob in front Of
our one entrance and it looked like a
big night. We had two boxes each &C.
commodating four people, and these
we Immediately sold out. Then q
brilliant idea came to key Cohenstein.
Why not use the rafters overhead, call
them boxes, and charge two francs for
a seat on them? The only difficulty
was how were the men to reach these
boxes, but to key this was mere de-
tail.
He got long ropes and tied one end
around each rafter and then tied a lot
Of knots in the ropes. These ropes
would take the place of stairways.
We figured out that the rafters
would seat about forty men and sold
that number Of tickets accordingly.
When the ticketholders for the boxes
got glimpse Of the rafters and were
informed that they had to use the rope
stairway, there was howl of indigna-
ton, but we had their money and told
them that If they did not like it they
could write to the management later
and their money would be refunded :
but under these conditions they would
not be allowed to witness the perform
ance that night.
After little grousing they accepted
the situation with the promise that If
the show was rotten they certainly
would let US know about it during the
performance.
Everything went lovely and it was q
bowling success, until Alkali Ike ap-
peared on the scene with his revolver
loaded with blank cartridges. Behind
the bar on a shelf was a long line Of
bottles. Alkali Ike was supposed to
start on the left Of this line and break
six OF the bottles by firing at them with
his revolver. Behind these bottles a
piece OF painted canvas was supposed
to represent the back of the bar, at
each shot from Alkali's pistol a man
behind the scenes would hit one of the

Spotlight on "Old Glory"

cold Glory" flying over Deming is
a sight now constantly visible from
any point in the Mimbres valley, day
or night. W, T. Fitzpatrick has flown
a flag from a 75-fOOt pole over his
Palace skating rink, which gives a
total elevation Of over hundred feet,
easily the highest flagpOle in town or
in the county. That the flag may be
seen by night as well as by day a
strong spotlight is kept playing on it,
making il the most striking landmark
~ the vision Of people approaching
ibe city at night.
Summer rates have gone into effect
at the Palace the evening skate rental
being 25 cents instead Of Is cents as
heretofore. A special concession is
also made to those who wish to drop
in late in the evening for an hours
skating. From Q to 0;30 skates may
be had for rs cents.
