stressed their points by the close fol-
low up, "Tll say he did" But the war
talk is row being forgotten and we
seem to be falling back into the old
slang prevalent before 1917.
1t is amazing how much of our pres
ent-day slang comes from the theater.
Cut that out" comes from a stage di-
rector's injunction at a rehearsal.
"Fifty-fifty" had its origin in the di-
vision of a theater. one portion 'in
front of the house" balancing back
stage" Also in the division basis for
profits which used to be a matter of
individual adjustment with every trav-
cling company. Likewise "are we ali
set" came from the theater; set be-
ing the last word before the curtain
was lifted for the show. AS big as
the war was it seems TO be losing it's
significance daily, even in the jargon
of the street.
