The Fiftieth Boy

1
By DR.. Frank Crane in Once Week.
About one boy in fifty will re-
main after the feast and, of his
own accord, offer to help clear
the things up or to wash the
dishes.
Do you know this Fiftieth Boy?
There are forty-nine boys who
are seeking jobs; the job seeks the
Fiftieth Boy.
The Fiftieth Boy makes glad
the hearts of his parents.
The Fiftieth Roy smoothes the
wrinkles out of his teachers fore
head, and takes the worry out of
her mind.
All the grouches and sour-faces
brighten when they see the Fifti-
eth Boy coming, for he is brave
and CHEEKY.
The Fiftieth Boy makes a con-
fidant of his mother and a pal of
his father.
He does not lie, steal nor tattle,
because he does not like to.
When he sees a banana peel on
the sidewalk, where it is liable to
cause some one to slip and fall, or
a piece of glass in the road where
it may puncture a tire, he picks it
up. The forty-nine thinks it, none
of their business.
The Fiftieth Boy is good sport.
He does not whine when he loses.
He does not sulk when another
wins the prize. He does not cry
when he is hurt.
He is respectful to all women
and girls.
He is not afraid to do right nor
ashamed to be decent.
He looks you straight in the eye.
He tells the truth, whether the
consequences to him are unpleas-
ant or not.
He is not a prig nor sissy, but
he stands up straight and is
honest.
Forty-seven out of the forty
nine like him.
He is pleasant toward his own
sister as toward the sisters of 9TH
er fellows.
He is not sorry for himself.
He works as hard as he plays.
Everybody is glad to see him.
Do you have that kind of a,boy
at your house?
If not, don't complain, there are
not enough of them to go around.

RATES NOT
YET DOWN
Is CLAIM
Commerce Commission
, Points Out Need For
Further Freight Tar
iff Reduction

Washington, Dec. Slope Is
suppressed by the interstate COM
Inerce commission in its annual
report today to congress that a
substantially lower" level of
railroad rates and fares would be
possible with an exception in the
volume of traffic following the
business depression and with a
further adjustment of operating
costs in harmony with prevailing
tendencies.
Freight rates following war
time increases and some later re-
adjustments have not reached an
equilibrium, the commission says,
because the chief factors control
ling them, "the value of service
and the cost Of transportation still
are in state of flux.o
The report is for the year end
ed October 81. 1t discloses a total
of $3.50, ,000,0 900 has been ordered
paid to the railroads under the
government guarantee against loss
during the first six months after
their return to private ownership
and that there is still due an esti-
mated $105, 5,000,000. Out of GIT
carriers entitled to guarantee pay
ments, the commission says, 547
have filed claims totaling $685.
100000, but payments of only I
$3.50, 100000 have been held justi-
fled. No statement was made with
respect to the difference between
the roads summary of their losses
during the six months and the
governments findings. The roads !
which have not yet filed claims
for losses, the report adds, are
short lines and the total will be
relatively small"
The commission issued during
the year certificates allowing
roads to issue stocks and bonds for
$1.715, 100000, the report says.
The commission points out, how
ever. that this total represented
for the great part refunding opera
lions.
Discussing railroad earnings the
commission says the carriers In
come and expenses reflected the
unsettled industrial conditions,
and that despite the conditions of
their reduction working conditions
by half million men, lowering
OF the costs of materials and cuts 4
in employees pay, net earnings
have not reached rate Of six per
cent on the value of the properties {
determined for the United States
as whole. The six per cent net
earning rate Is that recognized by
congress in the transportation act
as fair return ON the invested I
value.
The commission asks congress to
reconsider section 2S of the mer- I
chant marine act authoriAlns ..eA s
erential rail rates on shipments of Z
commodities for export in Ameri-
can bottoms, declaring that the {
ultimate effect may be merely 10

denly decided to withdraw from the
cast. They located Kruger Friday
afternoon and told him he was to play
the Probert role Saturday night. Fri
day night he saw the play. At IL
o'clock he left the theater, at 11:O1
he was in a taxi, at 11:09 he was
in room with the door locked, and at
midnight he had mcmorized about b6S
Of his first scene. He stuck to The job
through the night and the next morn
ing and played the part Saturday night.
"But heartily disapprove of that
sort of thing" Kruger said the other
day at the Gaety, where he is playing
"Alias Jimmy Valentine" "It's all right
for an actor or an actress to jump into
a part on short notice during the run
of a play, when the play has estab-
lshed itself, and everything is working
smoothly. In these circumstances quick
study stuff isn't so bad. But when an
actor is called to do such thing for an
opening night performance--well, that's
totally different proposition.
"a first night performance should be
a thing of perfection. The public ex-
poets it, and perfection can't be reached
New-York tribune., 1921-12-18

York didn't know any Of them He
pitched into the job, mastered one part
after another, but never did quite
catch up on the entire thirteen bills,
His achievement in learning what he
did, however, won for him the rcputa-
tion of being a "quick study"-a repu-
tation which he holds to-day and is
expected to hold for some time to
come. If you ask Broadway hnbitue
to name an actor who can memorize a
part on short notice you'll get this
stock reply: well, there's Otto
Kruger" and, of course, there's al
ways Henry Hull.
The story as to how Kruger stepped
into the cast of the Eugene O'Neill
play, "The Straw" on short notice and
became letter perfect in the part of
Stephen Murray in three days has been
repeated many times recently. And
there was his "quick study" stunt in
the case of "The Lure" George Scar
borough's sensational piece of some
years ago.

pearing as rather unpleasant indi-
vidual in the Scarboough play, and

when any member of the company is

the curtain goes up. I'm for postpon-

cumstances are such that some player
has to be engaged at the last minute.
sThe public is not alone to be con-
sidered. There are the critics. On the
opening night they're holding the death
watch, and with that fact in mind slip
ups don't exactly help matters"
Otto Kruger plugged at the drama
business until he became fixture as
far as Broadway is concerned, and his
present part is his third New York
role of the season. New York first saw
this actor in forgotten thing called
"The Natural Law Then there came
young America" and "The Lure" and
Captain Kidd, Jr.," and more lately
"Adam and Eva" and 1.-THE Meanest
Man in the World"

and an advertisement in theatrical
weekly caught his eye. He landed a
Job and it took him to lola, Kan. After

Kruger sought the head of "rep"

This individual expressed the hope
that the newcomer had enjoyed the
trip West, said he hoped he'd enjoy the
trips the company was to take, and
handed the actor thirteen parts in
thirteen plays-the company's entire
repertoire. The other members of the
cast were we'll up in the entire thir-
teen, but the young man from New
