you do it all over again. That is the
famous pastime known as playing the

As I said a little while ago, In the
particular season of which I speak. we
had a great many one nighters. which
seriously interfered with our golf. so

Now we carried a stage crew Of our
own whose business it was to load and
unload the scenery which Is shipped
each night after the performance.
Sometimes It was so late when the
boys finlshd loading that Instead Of
going TO Il hotel they would sleep IN
the baggage n and go on to the next
town. They lad told US of the advnn.

at them until we struck Wilmington

the only ROOF we could get was at

After n night OF that Lou and
were ready to be convinced. so in tho

sent on at night, arriving in the next
town in the morning. It gave us eve
full days golf n week which mado II
tough for the boys by the time we hit
New Orleans.
There Is a rather sourvy trick which
some actors have called Kidding a
show" 1 mean by that that when
playing a small unimportant town they
will give an inferior performance by
general carelessness and talking be
tween lines. This is an unfair thing
to do to an audience which has pale
good money to see your work and 1,
a thing which Tellegen would never Dc
himself or tolerate IN any member Of
his cast. We were talking about &

speaks Of Bernhardt as Madam broke
me OF IL. She used to say that the
actor had il all over the painter or
sculptor because the actor can take
his art TO the public. Whereas. when
a painter or sculptor has created a
beautiful picture or statue 1t must re-
main in one place and be visited by
It's public. It therefore behooves the
actor to always do his best work and
II the part isn't worth doing well,
don't play it."
Lou has told me a great deal about
Bernhardt all OF which shows how she

But surely. Madame need not study

Mem felt hat in passing from dl-
rector to director she was undergo

and divorces. There were such In

was far more han u mere acquaint-

But before she left the lot that day
she had signed her nnme to a long
document which she pretended to

well indeed. a. we lived together for
two seasons on tie road.
I once heard a group OF men OF dlf-
ferent professions discussing Tellegen
and one. who happened to be the chief
OF secret service of a foreign country.
summed IT up by saying that Teliegen
had the worst press agent in the
world. I agree with tho gentleman
because the only thing worse than a
mediocre press agent is no press agent
at all and Tellegen had none.
This is, 1 think, the reason for the
damaging reports one hears on all
sides. always from people who have
never met him.
Almost tho first question I am in.
variably asked by people who know OF

A question to which I always feel like
replying. a Ia Ring Lardner, BE your

No, he may be a lot OF things. and

Besides, anybody that Is worlds cham.

stuff-there are too darn many PEG.

But the best thing I can put down
for LOUIS reputation as a man is his
popularity with stage hands. Be
cause. no matter what the matinee
girls think, there are w things an
actor can't fool-one is a horse fly
and the other Is a stage hand.
Jim Corbett, who lived next door to
