INV HIi1l-'
NEW YORK. Oct. "a page from
the diary Of modern Samuel
Pepys: Up and came Galloway to
photograph my dog. My wife,s
music master came and breakfasted
in our chambers and 1 away to the
ferry-place to see some bees hived
in a glass and heard a lecture about
them which interested me not at
all.
Bought this day a gay head piece.
cream colored with a brown sash,
very noble. Went with Chic Sale,
the play actor. to see him in pic
lures that move and most amusing
they were. too. and bought a brave
box OF Japanese candy for him to
give to Mistress Marie.
My rent raised again, God pre-
serve us. Home where I finished
a sketch which may bring some
thing considerable. To clear all
matters about my debts with re-
luctance paid every score and found
myself easy IN mind but light in
purse.
In the afternoon through the
town. All the people nightly eyed
my hat. Saw Claiming Pollock,
Victor Herbert, Charles Dillingham;,
and Miller Huggins on the high
way. Sat awhile to watch a play
rehearsal and A. Erlanger there
too.
Dine with my wife and her
mother on a hogs harslet with
potatoes fashioned in cream. Then
to see an inept play called Spring"
and nodded most of the time. And
SO to bed and to sleep, very
brokenly.
Reuben is TO move-so the story
goes. His delicatessen shop on up
per Broadway has long been the
haven of what is left of after
theater night life. His special
sandwiches at 50 a copy took the
town by storm. One night a patron
giving a midnight supper sent for
a ham.
When the bill came the charge
was s25 and the patron protested.
Reuben sued, but the patton won
the case and TO show. he was not
a tight wad he gave on the day
of the verdict s2.50o to charity.
But he had just tasted blood and
was a glutton for revenge. II is
said he skirmished around and
bought the building in which Reu-
ben was located. Now Reuben has
to move. Ha! Ha! And a couple
OF coises!
passed Helen Gould's Fifth
Avenue home on a stroll at mid
night. A special policeman was
having a violent argument with
we'll dressed man who sat on the
lower step juttlng on the street.
II looked like a real fight for
time and harsh epithets were ex-
changed.
Finally the officer said: IF you
don't move on I'm going to use my
club"
Go ahead" said the sitee." IL
won't hurt me any more than my
bunion. I'm going to sit here un-
til an omnibus comes along" And
he did. bless him.
The same night I stopped in at
the Fifth avenue soda fountain that
gets the highest prices in town.
Women in evening wraps and
gowns from the theater go there
and stand up at the soda bar. A
careless clerk upset a glass of soda
water on a wrap. The manager
saw IL. There was no Quibbling.
He asked what the wrap cost, was
told and paid II in cash Immediate
ly. Then he ordered a private car
to send the lady home and befors
she left presented her with a great
basket of fruit with his compli-
ments. A fellow like that should
never be the manager Of a soda
fountain. He should be over IN
Europe settling wars. wearing a
frock coat and everything.
Bide Dudley has had his first
novel published. It Is a boys story
called Bolivar Brown" and many
OF the incidents were true in Bide's
life in Kansas. Two book reviewers
say that it rivals Mark Twain's
Huckleberry Finn. At any rate at
Brentano's they told me that last
week 1t was the leading seller.
Bide is a popular newspaperman
who now runs a column on the
Evening World and writes plays on
the side. He came to New York
from the Kansas City Star. where
a lot of mighty fine and progress
sive newspapermen come from. And
they all make good.
First night audiences in New
York are suddenly growing stub
born. They are refusing to add ap-
plausc to the regular iron-hands
placed about the theater for pre-
mieres. Twice during the week au-
diences have failed to acknowledge
big scenes while the actors were
lined up behind the curtain waiting
to take their bows. The truth is
first night applause has been over
done.
