Bert Lair, the clever comedian
who opens at the Gayety Theater
this afternoon with the Keep

ing down the Rialto of New York,
leisurely looking at the we'll
dressed actors standing around,
with their pockets bullying with
good old American money. when
suddenly he decided he was born
to be an actor.
The more he thought about 1t.
the more he longed for the foot
lights. Nothing now was left for
him to do but get on the stage
and make, his mark as an actor.
So he secured a position as a prop
erty man with a repertoire show
In which he was permitted to ap-
pear in extra parts. He concluded
that even if he PANIED out a bad
actor. his work with the show as
a property man would enable him
to hold his job.
From extra parts he was grad
ually promoted, until in time he
found himself playing one Of the
leading parts Of the company.
Naturally the training he secured
with the stock company was a big
advantage to him. In Keep Smil-
