Babe Ruth Makes
Hit and Speech at
Vaudeville Debut
Half of Audience Women as He
Begins to Earn $4,000
a Week.

Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD.
Mount VERNON, n. Y, Nov. 3.--From
the baseball diamond to the vaudeville
Babe Ruth did tonight when he made
his debut at Proctor's Theatre in what
was described as n satirical home run
called That's Good" Babe appeared
with Wellington Cross and Dean Moore
and they made a real hit with the
audience. Ruth received several encores
which caused him to make a little speech.
Harry Webber, who is manager of the
ball player, declared that Ruth was not
half as nervous as his partners.
The appearance of Ruth brought
pretty nearly every boy In the town to
the theatre door. He was their hero
and they gave him a great welcome
before he went on the stage
Despite the milk strike and the big po-
ltical battle now being waged for Mayor
in Mount Vernon, in which $500 women
are taking an active part, the theatre
was crowded to the doors, nearly one
little act, In which the ball player Is
made the star, only takes twenty min
utes. for which he gets $4,000 a week.
The scene is laid in n drawing room
which he announces that Babe Ruth is
coming from the Polo Grounds in his
uniform. Ruth appears in a new base
ball suit. his right hand bandaged and
carrying black suitcase, golf sticks and
baseball bat. Ruth says he has just
signed a contract to act in vaudeville
and pulls out bundle of contracts
Cross starts to read one, How to
Make Home Brew" when Ruth stops
him and finds the real contract.
When a telegram is brought in for
Ruth he finds it is from Judge Lands.
"Seventy-five cents collect"
Ruth is swinging his bat when Cross
says: II see you are golf player"
'Oh, yes" Ruth answers. 81 went
around three holes In ninety.
Ruth and Cross sing a song and then
Ruth changes to a business suit and Is
blindfoded and takes the part of a
mind reader" much to the amusement
of the audience
Following three encores Babe Ruth
said in a short speech: TT seems funny
to act or try to act. Some people have
to entertain twelve months in the year,
but ! try to entertain six months by
jumping around the ball field, hitting
the ball over fences and the grand stand
once in n while. You can't blame me IL
I try to entertain you here now You
wouldn't IL you could only see my
contract"
This seemed to delight the audience
more than anything the ball player actor
said
The boys were at the stage entrance
when Ruth emerged and several of the
larger ones lifted him on their shoulders
and carried him to tho front of the
theatre, where there was q crowd OF his
New York friends who had journeyed
here to witness his premiere.

ITALIAN SINGER WITH 4 VOICES
WANTS QUART OF WINE FOR EACH
Lord Aims Appeal to Prohibition Officials Brings Only
Half Measure Response That May Impair
Two of His Tones

Oh art couldn't be removed and where
Lord-Ain could get the stuff to wet his
whistle. Secretary Mellon referred the
matter to Federal Prohibition Commits
sioner Roy Haines. and from the latter
came yesterday this message concerning
the one man choir:
Advise that Lord-Ain may procure
not TO exceed two quarts of wine on
prescription il necessary to relieve him
of known ailment. This Office cannot
advise where wine may be obtained.
Consult local prohibition director"
DR.. Benjamin thereupon was consulted
and stated that the Italian singer was
suffering from a bad case of nostalgia,
which was more commonly known as
homesickness until prohibition came
along. Last night the performer and
his manager sought out State Prohibi-
ton Director Ralph Day at the Ritz In
the hope of getting him to loosen up on
two quarts more. but even the fact that
they live at the Hotel Harding didn't
seem likely to carry weight with him.
This is really a very serious matter
said Ben II. Atwell, who keeps the news
paper boys in touch with Lord-Ain' s
troubles. You can really see that Lord
Ain is entitled to a quart for each voice
for does not each one represent a dis
tinct personality? I'll say It does, and
don't know thing about the ontology
of being. Besides, if he's allowed only
two quarts his tenor and his soprano
voice might get more than his barytone
and his contralto, and then we'd be In
a pretty mess. In fact, Lord-Ain de-
serves five quarts-an extra one for
himself for standing the strain of living
with SO many voices
