Frank Bacon Tells Hard
Luck Story Not His Own

~One OF the most impressive events in
my recollection, to disclose the resource
fulness Of the player who is financially
embarrassed and sees his only hope of re-
Mobilization through his ability to play a
holiday engagement, occurred in Van
couver. Wash. few years ago. when I
was playing at Cordray's Theatre. Port
land. Ore. few miles across the Colutn-
bia River" said Frank Bacon the other
day.
"A delightful player Of the old school,
J. G.. StuttZ. had been playing all over the
paloose country during the months Of Oc-
toher and November to lauentably poor
business His company had stuck loyalty
to him, the railroads extended helping
hands to aid in his transportaton-in
fact, he had been moving along day by day
awaiting the arrival of Christmas matt
nee and night at Vancouver, where regi-
fnent from the Mexican border had just
been stationed at the garrison, which was,
in those days, the headquarters OF the
Department Of the Pacific Northwest. and
here he knew he would play to two
packed houses and thus replenish his
sadly depicted treasury.
But a stony hearted transfer man from
Idaho. the day before Christmas, put a
lien en- his sadly worn scenery and the
atre trunks. So here was Stuttz and COM
pany. within sight of prosperity, suddenly
made destitute of everything save their
art.
Christmas morning this sad but not dis
heartened, coterie of thespians arrived at
Vancouver to find the opera house en-
tirely sold out for both performances and
they with no costumes and scenery for
Hamlet at the matinee and Richard III.
at night.
"StuttZ, resourceful to the end, kept his
company indoors until almost the time
announced for the performance. when they
sailed forth to the theatre, each men,
ber with bundle under his or her arm,
said bundle containing a. tablecloth or
sheet.
when the curtain rolled up, the custom
airy house kitchen set was carefully con-
ceaIed under white cloths secured from
the hotel. and j. G. Stuttz, coming forward
to the footlights, said -
Ladies and gentlemen, today you are
to witness one OF the latest Partisan novel;
ties in drainaturgy-the absence OF scenery
