Pleasant Surroundings Make
For Happiness In Work

The telephone operator is no exception to this rule, and
there's a reason why there is a smile in her voice as she says
Number, please?' ..
The telephone operator renders a highly important pub
lie service. She has many opportunities to make work cas-
Ter and life happier for all of us, and in serving others well
she finds that satisfaction in her work that makes her duties
enjoyable.
Then, too, her pleasant surroundings contribute to her happi-
ness. Her business home is a light, airy, clean central Office with
attractive stinerooms and modern diningrooms.
Her position is permanent. Her opportunity for advancement
is excellent. Her pay is good. She is protected in sickness and

ant of the Scottish Gordons with

his brother married Blanche Douglas,
who came down from the old Irish
of the Cummingses in Ireland early in
the Christian era
When young Cummings thoughts
turned toward the amusement world
when he was a youth he found the
Southern conservatism OF his father
so invinicble a barrier that he ran
away from home to become a member
Of the famous Klralfy's extravaganza
Excelsior" seen here at Niblo's Gar
den. For three years he remained
with Kiralfy Brothers, appearing in
the above mentioned entertainments:
THE Black Crook" "Sieba or the
Seven Ravens" and Around the
World in Eighty Days"
In all Of these productions, except
the last mentioned. Mr.. Cummings
was a dancer. He spoke his first lines
in around the World in Eighty
Days" and considered it a Joke. His
idea OF amusing the public was very
far removed from what Is now termed
Legitimate drama" Extravaganzas
or circuses were In his estimation
quite the thing, so 1t was in obedience
to this trend of thought that he spent
two summers with Sells Bros. Circus,
leaving II only when he was hurt In
grand leap over the elephants,
when he went back to Kiralfy for
The Fall of Babylon" After a some-
what checkered career in melodrama
Mr.. Cummings came into his first i'm
portant engagement when he ap-
peared with Fanny Davenport at the
Fifth Avenue Theatre In a group of
Sardou plays. including "Tosca,'

KISSED 1000 TIMES.

There 10 many a man who would
give a great deal for the privilege OF
kissing Mary Pickford just once, but
there Is young man right here in
New York who has experienced that
pleasure more than a thousand times.
And that man wouldn't impress you
as a regular lady killer nor a modern
Don Juan. This lucky fellow V none
other than Ernest Truck, the diminu-
tive comedy star who plays the chief
funmalting role Of the young BRIDE
groom, Ferdinand OHver Walton, In
Oliver Morosco's latest laughing sue
cess, "Please Get Married." at the
Fulton Theatre.
The kissing all happened on the
stage. Of course, when Mr.. Truck and
Miss Pickford were appearing in Da-
vid Belasco's production, THE Good
Little Devil" about seven years ago.
That was Miss Pickford's only deser-
ton Of the films for the speaking stage
since her advent as motion picture
star. In this fairy play. which ran
in New York almost an entire year,
Mr.. Truck played the title role and
Miss Pickford was the dream girl.
During the course Of the play 1t was
the pleasant duty Of Ernest Truck to
embrace and kiss the dainty Miss
Pickford several times, and in the 800
performances the two played together
1t can be easily computed that the
kisses exceeded a thousand in number.
For a chap of his size. for Mr..
Truck is only about I'VE feet in height,
this please Get Married" star has
been rather fortunate in the selection
Of stage beauties he has been called
upon to kiss. In "Wildflre' some ten
years ago, he was kissed by the incom-
parable Lillian Russell. In "Over
Night" he kissed the dainty Madge
Kennedy. In "Rebecca Of Sunny

object Of his osculatory salutes. In

ISOLATION Mr.. Cummings ideas and
ideals Of entertaining the public hao
undergone a complete change, when
he entered upon a period Of stock
management, during which he ap-
peared at the head of his own stock
company, playing the first year in
Louisville, KY, and going the second
to Rochester, where, In partnership
with the Shuberts, he established tho
first successful stock record in that
city, after which he enjoyed equally
prosperous seasons in Cleveland and
Toronto, relinquishing his manage
ment of the Cummings Stock Com
pany only when X. and e. started the
theatrical syndicate, which made It un-
certain and difficult to secure the the
aires he wanted. At the end Of this
period Mr.. Cummings came back to
New York and Joined the American

muilet which Is the scene OF the play
in which he is now appearing. Until
he was thirteen years old Mr.. Murphy
went to school IN Dublin, when his
family moved to America and his edu-
cation was resumed In Chicago. 1t
was in the latter city that mere
chance would have seemed to start his
theatrical career. On intimate terms
with an old church sexton, a patri-
arch with long white whiskers who
frequently "suped" at McVickar's The
atre. young Murphy one day told the
old man how great was his ambition
to see Sarah Bernhard, who was then
appearing In Chicago. Touched by the
lads enthusiasm and usefulness the
sexton took him with him that night
to the theatre. introduced him to the
Super Captain" and asked an op-
portunity for him to go on in the mob
scene in La Tosca," which was the
play OF the evening In that same
mob was Jimmy" Forbes, the play
wright, and Zelda Sears. In a later
play, Cleopatra" young Murphy and
Forbes carried in the chair which
served as a throne for the Egyptian
Queen.

W edy Of Irish life now ten
anting the Belasco Theatre, are
threads of many colors. While the
dominating pattern is that of romance,
1t Is by no means the only one. While
love is the major theme Of the story,
there Is a comedy note which runs
parallel with it. 1t weaves in and
out Of the tale with delightful per-
sistence to the very end Of the play.
1t Is embodied in three old cronies
called Michael Halpin. Andy Moore
and Tim Duffy, group of antiquated
manifest meant by the authors Of
Ozark Rosaleen' to symbolic the
bpirit of old Ireland-that part or
Erin which is yet saturated with su,
perstition, bound by old customs,
stepped in tradition, unprogressive and,
satisfied that 1t is so. Life for them Is
measured by the countryside Of which
they are the product. Their days are
summed in community interest, bit
pr gossip and sup of porter. In
every Irish village there is q Tim
Duffy jealousy guarding the record
Tor the most imposing funeral of an
rAunt Judy" an Andy Moore whose
life experience has been so closely
woven into that of his fellow villagers
that few questions are settled before
his opinion is sought, and a cantan-
kerous Michael Halpin who stands
ready to fight at the fall of hat.
Impersonating these three quaint
characters of rural ireland are John
DAILY Murphy, P. J. Kelly and Robert
Cummings, three players singularIy
qualified to understand them and their
meaning in the play, two of them
having hailed from the land of the
shamrock, and one of them having
been closely affiliated with the Irish
literary renaissance. The latter COM
ment refers to p. J. Kelly, who i'm
personates the oracular Andy Moore

Gated in Dublin, Mr.. Kelly also had
his first theatrical experience in that

career purely ~ labor of love, when.
