ACTORS HAVE ODD BELIEFS
supersttons of People Of the Stage
Are Always Interesting and Some
times Extremely Az ing.

Stage superstitions are sometimes
amusing as well as interesting. writes
Frederick Bowyer in the London Mail.
For instance the singing of 81 Dreamt
l Dwelt In Marble Halls" or even
Tosti's "Good-By," is supposed to
bring bad luck to the theater. And
anyone found whistling in dressing
room must turn around three times,
exit and knock at the door before re-
entering.
Another well-knOwn superstition is
the spilling of champagne at con-
vivial meeting When this happens
dish is made Of the spilled portion
and everybody Oadies not excepted)
dips a finger into it and touches the
back Of his or her ear with the wine
Should a piece of cotton be found
on mans coat, it is gently removed
kissed and blown away. This is to
bring good luck, as the piece of cot
ton or fluff is regarded as a contract
from a manager
Speaking what is known theatrical
ly as the "tag'-that is, the last lines
in PLAYS looked upon as a bad
omen-in fact, tragedy to all con-
cerned.
Every conceivable mascot is encour-
aged in the dressing room of actress
es. Indian gods, Chinese idols. quaint
dolls from all over the world and
sometimes even champagne corks are
ranged along the shelves as memen-
tos of glorious evenings.
Everyone, if possible, avoids dress
ing In room No. 10, and other accom-
mediation is usually sought.
Should an actor complain of sing
ing in the head a brother actor will
ask him to think of a number. The
sufferer mentions one and whatever
1t be it is taken alphabetically. Thus
No. would be the equivalent of C.
The next thing is to think of a man.
ager whose name begins with that let
ter, and if the actor is "C1t of a shop"
he writes to this manager for an en-
gagement.
The luck of having a black cat
walk on the stage Is, of course, known
to most people-before or behind the
curtain.

Dignity of "coIoneln Ruined.

Digger's ideal has been shattered
ana Ike many another ideal, it went
fooey because of the war. Digger is
middle aged and probably a little more.
He hanks back to that halcyOn period
when to have a colonel among ones
friends was to acquire an added dig
nifty. In those days all the colonies
We're of the Civil war period. They
had the dignity of years and white
hairs to carry them along the path
of life and were looked up to as just
little better than commOner folk.
Everybody of middle age will recog-
nize the colonel that Digger has al
ways had in mind.
Therefore the shock: Digger an
swered the office telephone and voice
asked for Bildad. Unfortunately Bill
dad was not in.
Can | take a message for him?"
Digger inquired.
Tell him to call Colonel Whangdale,
0076 Rector" said the voice, and then
what followed was what ruined Dig
gers ideal as to the dignity of col
onels. and tell Bildad for me-" Col
onel Whangdale added, that if he
doesn't call me within the next half
hour I'll beat the tar out O him the
next time l see him"
A little later Digger delivered the
message with tears in his voice.-New

How Did He Do It2

A gentleman, who had just re-
turned from a four weeks pleasure
trip to Colorado, stopped at the re-
ceiying teller's window at the bank
and handed in 500 in travellers
checks to be deposited to his credit.
AS the teller looked over the checks
he asked
"Mr. c., what kind of time did you
have on your trip?"
"a wonderful time" replied Mr.. C.
After a moments thought the teller
asked: "Would it be asking too much
for you to chaperon a party of us
on a trip next summer-as you are
the only person I ever knew who
came back from a vacation and

Real Estate and Building

:, stop building, just as they did i'll
:, 1920, In fact, l do not think we will
see quite so much building next year
unless there is some reduction in
costs. During the next few months
material prices should show some
seasonal weakness. But as sure as
the material dealers start in TO boost
prices next summer, they will choke
| off their business. The same warn
ing applies to labor. Wages are al
| ready as high as they can be and
still allow much building. Both la
Dor and material men should realize
that it is better for them to have
steady building at moderate profits
than it is to have a short squirt of
building at high profits, followed by
a long period of idleness.
However, what interests me as
much as anything is the necessity of
eliminating the waste in time, labor,
and materials in the building bust
ness. 1 firmly believe that a saw
ing of Is per cen to rs per cent in
the cost of building could be made
by cutting out this waste. The
country is literally throwing away
$1,000, 000, 200 annually which might
be saved for the industry and help
to reduce the cost of construction.
. a Ildll DllllOH uOlldTS lOSS OC-
ours from lack of employment in
the dull seasons, strikes, poor labor
management, etc. I am glad to see
that wide awake men in the con-
tracing business are experimenting
with methods to facilitate building
in the winter time. The use of can
vas protection for bricklaying, sala-
manders and steam jets to prevent
freezing of concrete, and other meth
DDS Of combating bad weather are
being more generally adopted.
But isn't winter building more
expensive? ?" queried the interviewer.
YES, but even If the cost is 10
per cent or IL per cent greater, the
contractor Gas has been estimated)
could afford to take a smaller pro-
fit, and the workmen less wages,
rather than do nothing all winter"
Mr.. Babson replied. Moreover,
the man who builds in the winter
time has the pick of the labor mar
ket. Often the greater efficiency of
winter labor completely offsets the
other added costs.
"Other things that make build
ing so expensive are high labor
turnover, poor and inadequate equip
ment, careless handling of material,
failure to plan in detail. On the
labor side, there are wasteful reg
ulations and restrictions, requiring
skilled men to do the work of un-
skilled, prohibiting labor saving de-
vices, limiting the number of ap-
prentices, and SO forth.
"All these things combine to make
the high cost of building. When the
men who are conducting the indus
try learn to cut these wastes out,
then we shall have more building at
lower cost to the people, and more
profit to the industry"
General business is still improv-
ing. The index Of the Babsonchart
shows general activity but 2 per
cent below normal an improvement
of 1 per cent during the last week.
This is the highest point reached
in i've 2 years.

Case of tl,e American Composer

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Is II possible that conspir-
acy exists to-day that aims to prevent
the production Of any operatic compo-
sition by an American music master 2
My reason for placing this question is
this: happen to be the author Of n
comedy opera libretto that has been
set TO music by Henry Lincoln
Case, whose record is too we'll known
in the musical world TO need further
notice here. The iibrstto has had the
cordial indorsement Of many literary
experts and theater lovers, and the
music has been pronounced exception
ally tine and pleasing By musical pco-
pie, some OF these actually going so
far as TO say It equals that Of the late
Arthur Sullivan and Reginald De
Koven. Yet an now informed that
mono OF the producers will even look
at this opera because It 10 the work
Of an American composer and not g
foreign production; that 1t does not
matter now good it may be, or how
gladly the people might receive It, It
can't be considered "because It Is
American" Bear in mind the fact
that it is not because this opera Is
bad that it cannot get try-out, but
because 1t is not the work OF foreign
composer, and the reader may we'll
pause and ask "Whither are we drift
ing?"
II any of your musical experts has
anything to say in reply to this state
ment it will please me to hear from
him. FREDERIC w, PANGBoRN.
The answer TO this query is simple.
1t is of course possible that con-.
spiracy such rs is described exists;
but it is in the highest degree un-
likely. We should like to know who
has the information that no producer
will look at the work of an American
composer for the reason alleged
