GUARD DIGNITY OF PRESIDENT
Washington Theatrical Managers Are
Not Allowed to Advertise His A.
tendance In Their Playhouses.

There is code OF etiquette govern
Ing relations between the executive
mansion at Washington and the play
house. Point No. l in the code pro-
vides that no manager, either OF the
theater or of the visiting attraction,
shall angle for Presidential patronage.
When company arrives at the theater
Its manager Is handed card which
impresses this upon him, and brushes
all hopes OF using his pet projects for
Turing the President to confer indorse-
ment upon his offering.
Another point Is that box Is re-
served In every theater In Washing
ton every day until noon for the Pres
ident. BY that hour the White House
is supposed to have notified the theater
that the President will attend that eve
ming. Reservations may be made
earlier, OF course, but In no event may
the house or company manager make
use OF paragraph in the newspapers
announcing that the President will at
tend on such and such an evening.
The audience Is always on the alert
TO rise when the Presidential party
enters, and remains standing at the
conclusion OF the performance until
the White House contingent makes its
exit No Presidential party was ever
known to keep u curtain down for u
minute through tardy appearance.

Great Pianist Particular.

Paderewski will not permit anybody
to sit behind him, says writer In
Hearst's. At some of his concerts hun
dreds of seats could have been added
on the stage. Moreover, In every
Paderewski recital no seats are sold In

is directly behind him. The piano Is
set at 45-degree angle. which means
that in the extreme left corner of the
orchestra, looking toward the stage. u
number of seats are directly facing
PaderewskPs back. Those seats are
empty for Paderewski. IF they are
behind me, | think they are pushing
my elbows" he says.

Isle OF the Shamrock" words and
music by the Misses Callahan, OF
Louisville, Ky. The air Is tuneful, OF
remarkable sweetness, and although
out Of the beaten track of the average
song which is in "everybdoy's whistle"
1t will quickly win its way to popular
ity, and unlike the ordinary popular
song" will prove to be Of lasting sub
stantial merit. The music Is by Miss
Edyth Callahan, student of the best
conservatories not only in the East
but in Europe, and who is therefore
well qualified to create something
good in musical line. The words, a
real literary gem, are vibrant with
timely, patriotic outbursts, and are
expressive of the sentiments of all to
whom the Irish cause is dear, for
which cause the entire proceeds of
sale of the music is to be given. Low
ers of the good music will supply
themselves with a copy of "The Isle
of the Shamrock"
Miss Edith Callahan is a daughter
of Col. p. II. Callahan, whose strong
personality has charmed large circle
Of Maysville friends, and who on sew
eral occasions during the reconstruc-
ton period, has addressed large audi
and capital which relations, being
himself an employer of many men, he
has closely and sympathetically TO the
working men, studied.
