New York, June 24.--
There is something.
About q cold potato.
About midnight.
That is as bewitchlng.
As Theda Bara's eyea
Just last night
was awakened suddenly.
By a gnawing feeling.
And I tip-toed.
Out to the refrigerator.
And there on q plate
Was a lonely potato.
And It was surrounded.
By food At for gods.
But It was.
The lonely cold potato.
That intrigued me.
And I fell for it
And in two gurps.
1t had disappeared.
And I went back to bed
And got to thinking.
About q play I'm writing.
And all at once
The four acts.
Unrolled as naturally.
And I was SO excited.
That I called UP.
Al Woods at his home
And I guess he was asleep.
For he kept yawning.
And saying. "Ye-e-e-ah"
And when I had finished.
He said: where are your
And I said: AT home in bed
And he told me to stay there
And he'd get the doctor.
And then he inquired:
Have you been eating anythins
Or shooting anything.
Tn your arm?"
And told him.
That I had just devoured.
A lonely cold potato.
And he laughed.
And said he knew.
What was the matter.
They affected him too.
In just the same way.
So I got mad and hung up.
And today saw.
Another cold potato.
But it looked terrip1,.
