New York. - Everything seems to {
be thrown under the term of "yamp- {
ing" nowadays, things that one never {
would have thought Of a really belong {
ing there. For instance, there is the I
case of John Bjorkman He let him
self into the home Of Mrs. Margaret
Mcdonald in w. seth street the other
night by way of second-stry window,
which happened to open into her
daughters sleeping room. Evidently
he was considerably ashamed after
wards Of having let himself be captur-
ed without more show of resistance
and of not having enough pep to make
a getaway when he saw that Miss Nc
Donald was awake. So he turned TO
the present-day universal explanation
1.-THE girl must have vamped me- said
John, cor I'd "a got away. what DID
she say or do?" he was asked. she
called out Mother, bring the revolver

Sometimes it is pretty nice for an
actress to play in her own home town.
and then again, it might be bit over
whelming,I should think. There is
Emma Dunn, who is the featured
member of the cast Of Sonny" George
v. Hobart's new play. The play is nav
ing its preliminary opening in STAN
ford. Cam, before coming to new
York; and Stamford is Emma Duhns
home. So during the week the play Is
on there, the entire cast are guests Ill
Miss Dunn's home. 1t isn't one Oh
those four or five character plays
either. It's "a play with music ana
that means just one degree less IN inc
way of big choruses and all that thar
does straight-away musical COM

An exciting situation has arisen oVel
in our usually quiet part OF the city
the Borough of Queens. Some mysteri
ous person has decorated the side
walks and paved roadways with paint
ed advertising signs - not amateurisl
painting, but regular sign-painters
nainting-all nive even lines and Dor
ders and neat letters and all that AN
they have done 1t without the neces
sary permit from the Borough Presi
dents Office! Now that by itself ism
exciting, even though 1t might be II
ritating to officialdom. The excitemen
comes from the fact that the articl
advertised by the signs is - Mayo
Hylan's campaign for re-electioi
Fight for Hyfan. Join the Hyla
League" cry the painted words. An
ats no sort of way to violate our law
says the Borough.
