When he came into the first booking

ago with the box containing his black

ders some one greeted him as Garry"
Garry" was short of stature and like
wise Garry was short for Garibaldi.
When the Rialto moved uptown Gar
ry" moved with it and for thirty odd
years he has had the freedom OF every
big theatrical office in the city. Proudly
he will tell customer that he has
polished the shoes of every big man

this country since he first landed on
Broadway.
When George c. Tyler was preparing
TO stage ITO the Ladies!" he decided
that the only man capable OF playing
the part of the bootblack in the third
act was Garry" The latter might be
"shine" actor, but he would at least
be the real thing and he could trust to
his making good.
And so it happened that when the
play was presented at the Liberty
Theatre last Monday night Garry"
was in the cast. Those who recognized
him, and there were many that did.
and those who did not. all gave him a
hand" Word went out that Garry"
had made hit. But this did not swell
the little fellows head. Tuesday morn
ing with box across his shoulders he
was making his usual rounds. Passing
Forty-third street Garry" was hailed
by big theatrical man who knew him.
His face Frightened as he saw Garry"
"Heh!" he shouted, IT hear you are
an actor. For the last thirty years I
have wanted to have an actor shine my
shoes. Go to it,"
And Garry" who is not without a
sense OF humor, did.

Goldwyn Looking for
Grand Larceny Seque!

The Gold Yyn company is said TO bs
resorting to a procedure unique in finn
annals In that it is looking for a sequel
to Grand Larceny" the photoplay IN
which they will present Claire Windsoi.
Elliott Dexter and Lowell Sherman at
the Capitol this week Sequels are rare
enough in film stories, but when they
are produced they are usually composed
by the author who wrote the original
story.
In this instance, however. Goldwyn is
ready to consider sequels by other writ
ers than the author OF this film drama,
who is Albert Payson Terhune. The
way for sequel is left open because tie
story ends virtually ''up in the air." and
the spectator is left 10 guess what hap
pened later. The picture is regarded as
unusual also because it was produced
exactly as the author wrote it.

sion.
Thanking you in advance for this and

New York. Feb. H.
MY DEAR MISS SPoNG:
In answer to yours. will endeavor to
drop in at the stage Door Inn as per
your request.
I am pleased to note the good work the
theatrical people are doing, particularly
the women folk. They are a great credit
to our profession and they should be
more in evidence to offset the abomi-
nable criticism by this minister and self
accredited moral and spiritual men. I
have never seen the phase they speak Of
In our profession. To me they are big
hearted, splendid men and women, who
are always doing something for others.
Our great trouble Is that we have never
acclaimed ourselves.
The work that was done during the
war by the men and women of the stage
calls for be,.er treatment than we are
getting at the present time. have not
heard ans of those who criticize tell
about the good qualities of our profess
sion. but they are inclined TO condemn
all for n few. No other people in tho
world extend as much charity or as
much good in every way where human
ity is concerned as do the men and
women Of our profession. And there Is
TO more moral or respectable n class OF
people In the world than those of our
profession. Sincerely yours,
II. r. ALBEE.
