position to "Blighty-What Hopes"
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 u show.
After taking off my equipment. and
followed by the rest of the section, I
went over to the building he had picked
out. 1t was a 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
a dress rehearsal, and it went fine.
l made four or five large signs an
nouncing that our company would open
up that evening at the King George the
Fifth theater, IN 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 l further announced that
on the night Of the first performance
Il program would be given free Of
charge to men holding tickets costing a
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 5:15 there was a mob in front Of
our n entrance and 1t looked like q
big night. We had two boxes each nc.
commodating four people, and these
We Immediately sold out. Then a
brilliant idea came to Ikey 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 a mere de-
tail.
He got long ropes and tied n end
around each rafter and then tied q 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 sole
that number of tickets accordingly.
When the ticketholders for the boxe!
got a glimpse Of the rafters and wer.
informed that they had to use the rop,
stairway, there was a howl Of indigna
ton. but we had their money and toll
them that If they did not like It the,
could write to the management late
and their money would be refunded
but under these conditions they woul'
not be allowed to witness the perform
ance that night.
After a little grousing they accepte'
the situation with the promise that l
the show was rotten they certainl
would let us know about It during tn
performance.
Everything went lovely and It was
bowling success. until Alkali Ike ar
peared on the scene with his revolve
loaded with blank cartridges. Benin
the bar on a shelf was a long line O
bottles. Alkali Ike was supposed {

Washington, April 9.-A large part
of the American army now training
in this country will be sent to Eng

provided, it is understood. This plan
is entirely apart from the accelerat-

The troops to be sent comprise a
good percentage of those training
here and they will be sent to take
the place of British troops who are
undergoing similar training in Eng

It is authoritatively stated that the
