entertainment was entitled, Living
Pictures;" and, to say that the title
fitted it like a glove" is very mild
statement Of the case; for seldom, if
ever, were more beautiful pictures
presented to the public; and the fact
that they were living ones added
much to the enjoyable occasion.
The entertainment consisted main

DEFINES ATTRACTIONS OF
THE ACTORS PROFESSION

Mr.. Dan Coleman, one of h most
versatile stars on the road. was asked
me other day to define the attractions
of his profession. Mr.. Coleman Is the
star of Harry Hastings Big Show. the
big musical burlesQue that will be
presented at the Majestic theatre next
Monday "As an art" said Mr.. Cole
man. THE professional laugh maker
Is hindered by a lot of disagreeable
features. The greatest of which Is the
sacrifice of home life and family ties.
Then there is the continual hardship,
irregular hours and h disappoint-
ments when ones hopes are not
kuickly retlized. On the other hand,
1t Ia filled with many pleasures de-
MED workers In other fields. The
elation over the ability to make an
audience laugh at will and the feel
ing of being liked is gratifying to the
usual comedian. For. he continued.
when the audience epplauds they
show they like you and there are
mighty few people on the stage who
do not wish to be liked. The knowl-
edge that one possesses the power to
change the feelings of the entire audi
ence before him Is in itself satisfying
of converting disgruntled Crouch"
into a happy laughing contentment of
RI being able to drive dull care
away from others. for the time being
at least-are some of the joys of a
professional comedians work. There
is a selfish side of course-the salary
ter than the stage. We all enjoy what
money brings Some tastes run to

BRIDGE AND TUNNEL PROJECT
TO Be DECIDED TOMORROW

BY Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, April 27.@Solution of the
snarl yer the bridge and tunnel legis-
lation is looked for here tomorrow
when h senate and House come back
for another round OF discussion on
this problem. 1t now seems likely
that the direct tax feature of the
bill which Governor Edwards is op-
posed to may be eliminated as we'll
as the provision pledging all tho
moneys in the state treasury for the
payment of the interest on the bonds,
and a new proposition put forward
to pledge only SO much of the state
treasury as Is needed for each years
on the bonds.
This Is the suggestion OF State Treas
urer William L. Read, of Camden.
who Is Interested in getting action
on the two projects, particularly that
of the bridge from his city to Phila-
delphia- Mr.. Read laid his suggestion
before the House Republicans last
week In conference and it now seems
likely. unless there Is another sudden
turn. hat an amendment nay be Of
fered tomorrow to the bill by which
this idea will be carried out.
1t Is understood 1t Is satisfactory to
Comptroller Newton A. K. Bugbee,
who, with the state treasurer, has been
standing for the direct tax and oppos-
ing the pledgfng of the entire state
treasury. 1t Is also said to be accept
able to the firm of Hawkins, Delaheld
and Longfellow. the bond lawyers en-
gagged by the state to advise with, re-
spect to the arrangements for the $685.
600, 900 bond Issue.
Also. II seems probable hat this
amendment viii be satisfactory to
Governor Edwards. since 1t has no
state tar provision included which he
Is pledged by his campaign of last
fall to oppose.

The civil service officials are gen.
orally 'fn bad" with the state en-
ployes for what the lesser employees
consider the inequitable system OF
distributing the money provided I'M
der the general bonus act. The bank
examiners were not thought to come
under the general act because they
are paid by moneys from the banks
they examine. although they work
under state direction.
Consequently they caused a special
bill TO be introduced covering their
specinc case and providing for a

bonus for each of them. 1t was In
troduced by Senator S~turgess. Of
Gloucester. and passed serenely
through both houses of the 1egisla-
ture. Taking II for granted that the
bill would become a law, the civil
service officials approved the payroils
for the payment Of the money. Just
as In the ease or the other entitled to
bonuses under the general act.
Nine men received bonuses ranging
from $3.50 to 1910 under the provi-
sions Of a bill which never became a
law. Now they owe the state money.
