had not returned. All the lights we're on and
every one was silent. He started his solitary
march down the aisle, and as he passed each
row the people began to recognize him. By
the time he reached his own seat the whole au-
dience saw him and there was storm of ap-
plause. Zimbalist sat down hastily. But he
had to rise again. Turning about and facing
the entire company, he bowed to the right and
to the left, in his best concert platform
ner He had taken his curtain call from the
audience.
Pat Rooney arrested on account of one
of his curtain calls. 1t was at the first per-
formance of his new play, "Love Birds" and
he and Marion Bent, Mrs. Rooney, were feeling
very happy. They were feeling SO exceedingly
cheerful that they decided that they ought to
celebrate and make the occasion a family affair.
Consequently, they proceeded to send word to
their son and heir, young Master Rooney, to
come forth before the footlghts and take ac-
tive part in the celebration. Now, when a
Rooney takes part in a celebration he always
dances. This is his way Of showing hilarity.
Pat always dances His father danced before
him, and now young Rooney dances, exactly like
his dad, the very same steps and at the very
same speed. Only this time young Rooney
danced too Often for he was too young
to dance in public without license, and as
result the Gerry Society got busy, and the
police and the press, and for little while it
and beloved son Rooney would all have to go
to Jail. But somehow Pat senior managed to
prove that it was all in fun and not COM

of the spirit, Lewis Barnard. continued:
He is mad! He is mad about a French
dancer who has a German name-Fanny Elss-
Ter. He has even quarrels over her with a
certain M. de Montrond, who claims to have
been confidant of NJ. de Talleyrand and to
have died the Cape Verde Islands The.
latter IS also in love with this dangerous
person. My Lord wants to fight duel with
him. All this is very scandalousv
"'But,' said, what you are telling us is
absurd Spirits can't fight drels, nor be in
love. 1t is ridiculous supposition
Why not?' said Mr.. Lewis Barnard, in his
wearied manner. Il tell you that with us
everything is the same. And you ought to
know that, since you continually receive visits
from spirits who tell you that they go into
the country, that they listen to concerts, that
classical music is much overdone and that in
the mild season they go to bathing beaches
You have only to read Raymond, or Life and
Death, by Sir Oliver Lodge. This unfortu-
nate Byron Is mad, all the same. It must
be that his old vices still cling to what is left
of his body.

Notwithstanding, it's all very simple Our
senslblity is highly accentuated. And, besides.

TO resist temptations. / find that compared
with what they were earth my temptations
are lnslgnlncant. And as for Byron, who died
In ls24-what can be left of them? This dis
soluteness is as dersory as it is shamelessp"
But Mr.. MacBraid put in, he told us
that ne regretted his conduct, that he had
completely reformed and that he was pat

mercial affair, and he was exonerated and
everything turned out all right after ALL
A recalcitrant curtain almost ruined Arthur
Byrons new play, "The Ghost Between" for
the mechanical apparatus controlling it sud-
denly gave way and the curtain began to
ascend and descend in the very midst of the
climax of the third act. Finally, Mr.. Byron
came out to explain matters
eve will finish the play if the curtain gives
us chance" he stated, "and I hope that it
will become"-
But he could get no further, because the
curtain came down again and brought this
particular speech to an abrupt end.
Along Broadway many droll legends circu-
late regarding curtain speeches. One is thai
on the opening night of their production,
"His Honor, Abe Potash" Montague Glass and
Jules Eckert Goodman stole away syly and at
tended performance of Ziegfeld's "Folles."
Richard Mansfield made his speeches propa-
ganda, for he spoke against the theatrical syn
dicate in the theaters of the syndicate. Fred
Stone also made history, as he started the GUS
tom of physical elevation with the curtain
itself, for in his effort to show his exuberance
he grabbed hold of the curtain, and when it
went up he rose with it.
While responding to curtain call on her
farewell tour Helena Modjeska almost lost her
life, as the curtain almost descended on her
as she stood near the footlghts. She escaped
miraculously, warned by the shrieks of women
in the audience. On another occasion, at Dem
yer, she was the victim of practical joker,
who presented her with a bouquet of flowers,

colleague from the Other World. But that
didn't prevent his disclosing that we had
counted on conversing with another person.
"T know that said Mr.. Lewis Barnard.
1t was Byron. But he will not come to-
day-and probably not for several days. In
fact, am here to tell you that he can't come.
It would have been annoying to me that a
pastor of the church to which I belonged
should wait in vain to talk to him, to say
nothing Of gentleman who has come here
all the way from London
"He added some little compliments ad-
dressed to me. l ask permission not to re-
peat them, the more so as they were of no
scientific Importance. But since / seemed
to be not unknown to this inhabitant of the
spirit world / ventured to ask him how we
were to account for the absence-I was on
the point of saying the desertion-of Lord
Byron.
"'He has cold,' declared the disincarnated
Lewis Barnard.
We noted certain hesitation in this curt
response. You can imagine also that the ex-
planation seemed to us Incredible Mr.. Mac
Braid remarked that he had never heard of
spirit catching cold.
Why not?" his colleague rejoined.
Everything with us is like it is here There
was recently an epidemic of grippe on the
Other Side A who has followed sa
cred profession on earth oughtn't to lie even
IN small matters-es especially to defend rep-
utation which is, alas! counterfeit. | prefer
to tell you everything. This poor Byron is
mad. He is mad again!'
He is mad?'
"fYes'
