A Man of Rare Experiences-"1t's
good thing to have an extra trick in
the box. There comes a time in life
sooner or later when you want to bring
it out, and if it is a surprise to most
people you will get all the more effect
with it" So said Edward Abeles OF
..'Brewster's Millions fame, when asked
why he deserted the dramatic stage. to
become a musical comedy star.
Edward Abeles made his debut in mu
steal comedy long before the advent OF
the Comstock and Elliott Princess
Theater musical comedy, "Oh, Lady!
Lady, Years and years ago he was
Anna Held's juvenile man in. several
musical productions. He also supported
Of "The Telephone Girl So it is no
novelty for him to sing. and dance. In
recent years he has associated solely
with dramatic productions, but that ex-
perience did not make Mr.. Abeies forget
the tricks of his musical comedy train

Old Soldier FiddIers-col. ]. A.
Pattee, the originator of the "Old
Soldier Fiddlers," tells how he first
conceived the idea of the Blue and
Gray" iddlers. as a vaudeville at
traction.
When selling life insurance about
Va, he was invited by the Daughters
Of the Confederacy to assist in an
entertainment for the benefit of the
old Confederate soldiers.
Being somewhat Of "a fiddler and
good entertainer himself, he con-
city papers inviting other old-time
fiddlers to come and take part in an
old time fiddlers' contest, with the
result that fifteen OLD fiddlers from
the mountains of West Virginia,
Kentucky and Ohio reported for duty;
others without strings, and the like.
They made AN instantaneous hit
and Col. Pattee was asked to repeat
it the following evening. Several
composed Of the ministers Of the
leading churches.
Col. Pattee then discovered that
within the ranks Of the old f1ddlers
there was about an equal number Of
ex-Union and ex-Confederate soldiers
and the idea Of the blue and gray
old soldier folders popped into his mind
then and there.
Their entertainment was novel, and
Col. Pattee and his comrades were
much sought after. They appeared
at resorts in the south and at SOL
diers' homes both north and south.
The colonel then picked from among
his old soldier players the most avail
able ones and oroered uniforms for
them-two boys in blue" and two
boys in gray'-and he has been on
the warpath ever since.
