I'm the Wings With
Winter Gardeners
By Harriette Underhill

~ AaAAASttO OlldCI1lIll
Down the centre Of the Winter Gar
den runs runway. 1t Is around this
runway that visitors from out Of town
try to secure seats, and then, when the
parade begins, they realize that the
fellow in z 1888 is seeing a great deal
more than they are. And they go out
to the box Office and try to change
their seats, and when they are told
that there isn't seat in the house they
buy one of the desired seats for two
weeks from Thursday, when they ex-
pect to have business of sufficiently
pressing nature to take them to the
metropolis again.
But that runway has a charm which
it is impossible to resist. 1t almost
has personality; so much so that after
we saw "'Monte Cristo, Jr." the open
ing night we felt that our life would
be empty hereafter unless we could
walk down that runway. Now, our ex-
perience with managers and producers
and box Office men and publicity d.
rectors has been that you have only to
say, 81 would like to do this" to have
them say: "Delighted! The theatre
belongs to you
SO it wasn't any surprise when Lee
Shubert and J. J. and J. C. Huffman and
everybody thought the idea a brilliant
one, and Charles Purcell suggested that
VIC don one Of the butterfly costumes
and join the parade which files down
the runway when he sings "Broadway
Butterflies"
The reason that we didn't do it was
only because what some people call an
"untoward event" prevented US.
We were fifteen minutes late, and
when we arrived at the Garden the but
tcrhies were all ready to go on, and
we had to be content to go back stage
Now, we thoroughly believe in democ-
racy, and we never should put our
trust in princes, even if we hadn't had
Davids advice to that effect psalms
1868. But we must confess to hay
ing a thrill when we find ourself in
the presence of artists like the Doolcys
or Chic Sale.
We were talking to Charles Purcell
when William Doolcy appeared in tho
wings, and wo ruthlcssy forsook our
old schoomatc. OF course, we have
known Charles ever since he was
"Charlie," and We used to sing "do re
mi" together, so we knew he wouldn't
mind.
And William Dooley remembered
us, even if it was six months since
he met us, on the Century Roof. Be
foro we go chance to say "You arc
The funniest man on the stage and We
never miss show of yours" he said
something almost us nice to US in re-
gard to our humble efforts.
"Isn't it wonderful to be able TO
write ?" he said al should rather write
than anything in the world"
"Why, anybody Mt all can write. All
you have to do is put down on paper
what you think,' VIC answered. "But
isn't it wonderful to be able to make
people laugh the way you do?'
"Why, anybody ut all can make pco
pie laugh" said william, modestly.
"Al you have to do is TO act as you
feel" And it sounded so simple put
that way.
And then we met Chic Sale!
We always have been his ardent ad
mirer. His portrayal Of types is the
most remarkable thing we ever have
seen, and we have gone again and again
to see him whenever he has appeared
in New York.
He greeted US cordially, removing

rcy Maple, also Of "liieh Jinks." and
the Watson Sisters, and Muriel Lindal
and cunning little Adelaide and Hughes
and nearly every one else who appears
on the stage of the Garden. And Mr.
Huffman assured us that there were

Directing Traffic

That street car conductors and mo-
tormen are taking the law into their
own hands and encouraging the vio-
lation of the city traffic laws by wav-

ing when /. Funt and c. w. Meredith

STREET CAR WRECKS
BIG PACKARD AUTO
Walton Miller's Car on Way
to Baltimore Did Not
Get Far.

Stopped directly across the tracks
of the NJ. V. T. company at Dakota
this morning and hidden in the dense
fog that made it impossible to see but
a short distance, a large Packard
touring car, the property of Walton
Miller, was struck by an interurban
operating between this city and
Rivesville and practically demolished.
Clarence Burtoft, chaeuffeur, who
was starting with the car to Balti-
more, where Mr.. Miller is now con-
valescing from an illness, was unin-
jured.
Some repairs are being made to the
road where it crosses the Traction
company rtacks, making curve OF
such short radius that Bartoft found
1t necessary to back his car and take
another angle to get around. He had
just backed his car onto the track
when the interurban struck him.
1t is alleged that the motorman
blew his signal for the crossing, but
that sound, together with the noise
of the car, was drowned out by the
noise being made at the tipple of the
mine at Dakota "a few hundred feet
