AS soon as the Drews went on tour

the names of their characters,

stories written by Thomas Addison,
but these stories merely presented
episodes with a group OF characters,
and was not continuous novel. Mr..
Hobart liked the characters SO he ar
ranged to use them in play of his
own design. and he evolved a comedy
with all these characters in 1t.
When rehearsals began. after he
had selected his types" he began to
mold his comedy into for n at the re-
hearsals. Having an ir' riligent lot
Of people to deal with, they ere easy
to mold. and everything rs going
along swimmingly; but in tn. b ck Of
his head Hobart was worrying about
the climax of his second act. for he
had built up the first to such an ex-
tent that the second climax would
have to be a hummer
He was searching for something in
his brain all the time. and In the
midst of this heavy thinking, there
came a letter in .his mail from the
Stage Women's War Relief. asking
him to write sketch for them for a
beneflt to be given, and telling him
that every prominent actress and star
In New York had volunteered their
services. Any one who understands
the different temperaments and abili-
ties of the various women stars of the
stage, can imagine what a Job 1t was
to write a sketch fitting them all,
without conflict. The Job was to be
done over night And that In the
midst of producing a new play.
But Mr.. Hobart never went back
on anybody. for he works at all
hours, so he acknowledged the let
ter and said he would have the
sketch ready next day. That night.
after he had rehearsed his company
until nearly midnight. he went home
to write this difficult sketch. All
the time he was doing it, however,
there was a little bee buzzing in
the back of his head saying "Cli-
max! Climax"
In the middle of the night. while
he was scribbling away on the
sketch. he stopped short, got up and
walked about the room. with a
sudden lifting UP OF his face, he
said:
"rve goti I've got it," And sure
enough, the climax that he knew
must be somewhere in his head,
came right up and smote him in the
face, and he made the necessary
memorandums, finished the sketch
and the next morning when he
greeted his people he still had a
broad grin on his face. and smiling
ly said:
''As soon as the stenographer has
finished the parts we will begin re-
hearsing the second act today"

Red Cross has shown itself to be an
instrument of peculiar fiexibility and
adaptability with which to promote
efforts for the relief Of suffering hui
manity. The Red Cross emblem sig
miles. next to human sympathy. above
all else, neutrality. neutrality as be-
tween nations, as between races. as
between religions. as between classes.
While, in its organized form IN each
country. It enjoys intimate relations
with its own government. yet 1t pre-
serves its voluntary and democratic
character.
1t is expected that out of this world
gathering there will emerge an inter-
national organization through which
the peoples of the world may co-op-
crate In stimulating and developing
activities in the respective countries
for the betterment of mankind.
Such activities would foster the
study of human disease, promote
sound measures for public health ana
sanitation. the welfare of children and
mothers, the education and training
of nurses. and the care and preven-
ton of tuberculosis, venereal disease.
malaria and other chronic or infec-
tious diseases, and would provide
measures for handling problems of
world relief in emergencies such as
fire, famine and pestilence.
Prevents Human Suffering.
The conception involves not merely
efforts to relieve human suffering but
to prevent it-not alone the suffering
of one people but an attempt to
arouse all peoples to sense of their
responsibility for the welfare of their
fellow beings throughout the world.
In brief. the plan contemplates the
formation of what will be in effect
an association in the interest of all
humanity.
1t is a program both ideal and prac-
teal; ideal. in that its supreme aim
Is humanitarian: practical, in that II
seeks means and measures to meet
the tragic crises which are daily re-
current in the lives of all mankind.
Surely the operation of such plan
would develop a new fraternity and
sympathy among the peoples. BY SO
doing an important contribution will
have been made toward the success OF
ent plan should be viewed as a vital
factor in the larger undertaking.
The league of nations aims to hold
all peoples together in an effort TO
avoid war and to insure freedom; this
particular plan aims at devising
procedure whereby all peoples may
cooperate actively in promoting the
health and happiness of one another.

the nations involved. Out of this
fact has grown the necessity that the
Red Cross should in time of war ex-
tend its ministrations to homeless
refugees as well as TO civilians In
their home behind the lines.
The International Red Cross at GEN
eva has from the very beginning
done an important work. Throughout
the present war its high principles
of both neutrality and helpfulness
have been maintained. Its position
of pre-eminence as the great neutral
agency should be upheld and it is
the belief that its ideals for extend
ing relief in time of war can be ap-
piled with equal vigor and effective
ness in time of peace,
The experience of war has develop
ed an advanced practice In caring
for the welfare of motherhood and
childhood 1t has likewise demon
strated novel and most promising pos
sibilities in the care and treatment
of tuberculosis and other diseases.
1t is accordingly of unusual import
ance at this moment in the worlds
history that representatives of the
various people should meet in confer
ence, compare information and ex-
perience, and determine how volun-
tary effort in every country may best
exert itself in the service of humanity

The Art Of Dumping -

That bump will bump me into the
going"
James Barton. last of long line
of bumpers" whose capacity for
dumping" made them the best
known knock-about comedians in
the country, made this statement the
other afternoon, as he rubbed HIM
self tenderly just after the close of
the first act OF the Twentieth Century
Maids show in Baltimore.
Dumping" it might be noted, is
the technical term for the work of
the man who does sall sorts of
comedy falls and dives, and the Bar
ton family has been noted for its
ability to supply people who can
take the bumps" for at least two
generations of theatrical affairs.
Jimmy Barton is the son of a
Jimmy Barton and the grandson of
Jimmy Barton. The grandfather
didn't do any dumping" although
he was more or less the instigator
of lot of plain and fancy bump
ers" as proprietor of the old Front
Street Theater in Baltimore. Jimmy
Barton II. was rated as the cham
pion all-around bumper" of the
stage. His speciality was doing a
dive from the stage to the orchestra,
catching himself on his shoulder on
the orchestra rail. Most people who
see a tramp comedian do q weird fall,
landing on his ear or the back of
his neck. do not realize that this
feat is the result of long years of
practice, and the utmost persever-
ance. Dumping" is really one of the
fine arts of the acrobatic section of
the profession of entertaining and
there are three members of the Bar
ton family taking the bumps" at
the present time.
There are few of the real bump
ers' who have not tried pictures"
said Barton. Charlie Chaplin is a
bumper" So is Ford Sterling and
Fred Mace and Charlie Murray. They
are especially good men. / have
been taking the bpmps for years past,
both in burlesque and in vaudeville.
/ can't say when I began. My first
appearance on the stage was when
/ was four years old. I did song
and dance. And I've been at it ever
since"
Marjorie Gateson. who is featured
in the Messrs. Shubert's musical play,
Little Simplicity" at Polls Theater
this week. played opposite Clifton
Crawford in Her Soldier Boy" dur
ing its New York engagement last
season. Miss Gateson is regarded as
one of the cleverest girls in musical
comedy today.
Little Simplicity" which comes to
Poh's this evening for a weeks en-
gagement, has the unique distinction
of having been a hit in two New York
theaters last season. 1t ran for some
weeks to enormous business at the
Astor Theater, and was then shifted
to the Forty-fourth Street ,Theater.
where it also played to capacity for
weeks.
