SMOKES FOR LAUGHS.

Kenneth Webb received a call from his old property man, Al Linde, last week. It seems that Al had a few new jokes that he wanted to tell. Formerly Webb used to hand out a cigar every time Al made him laugh, so Props" thought it high time he stocked up. A dozen or more stories were related, and Webb kept a, per fectIy straight face. Al was in de spair. and then he told another. II was AIS face and not the story that made Webb laugh, so Al was event uaIly supplied with some smokes.

HOW TO GET \ NEW CAR.

ora Carew has what she terms a s'set coupe" not whatever that is, but here's what it really is. Her coupe was decorated in light pink of the
 corch shell tone, but so easy is 1t to have the trimmings redone that Ora last week had an artist change the whole interior of the car to pastel shades of the light blue variety. and now every one thinks she has a new car. Camouflage? No, just a bit of a new fad in rapid-fre change-color.

JOTTINGS
By D. J. l..

Everybody seems to greet every one else in town with this question, Anything new?" Whats the idea? There is an old saying that there is nothing new under the sun but at times that is all wrong. Many new things are happening daily. ... only some of us are not in on it.
 The question is, Come we here to praise Caesar? ?''
 FTiend Jim McCarthy-we look to you for the answer.
 The show game, 'tis said, is a fun ny sort of game after all We have Lew Hilton's word for this He tours the country and meets managers. producers and other-others is right. Roger will now give his opinion.
 From out the Land of Dreams in to the Land of Realities come many stars. Some stay and others go Some by steady plugging and hard work attain fame while others have fame thrust upon them.
 Here's a spring poem sent to me by a patron who patronizes the place where 1 not only hang my hat but my coat as well. But read the poem: A little favor I ask of you, I'm sure this bit you'u gladly do, To help your patrons see the show For the money they so gladly blow. Now this may not seem much to you, But know this is strictly true, As experience I have had of this By sitting behind a sweet faced miss. I bear no grudge to her pretty face, But don't think this is quite the place To show off hats, both large and small, That can't see the show at all. So if you'd kindly flash your sign, Which will be appreciated by more
 than nine,
 That Ladies kindly remove their
 hats
 So the ones in back can see what
 they're at.
