The Freelance

It happened during assembly at
Cony High Tuesday. Principal Per-
kins was speaking on the coming
Chizzle Wizzle fair. A student direct
~ behind the principal started to clear
his proboscis, using his handkerchief
as muller. The operation proved
somewhat lengthy and loud and Mr..
Perkins halted his remarks and in
quired:
'-, what is the matter with
your"
The student hesitated. Redeemed, and
then flashed back:
I'm blowing for Cony, sir"
There came a hush. Mr.. Perkins
frowned, then relaxed and, taking out
his own handkerchief. proceeded to
blow and every student followed suit.
1t was general blowing for Cony.
Noting the remarkable crowds now
attending the opera house. the Free
lance was moved to quiz Manager
Hart for the reason. He proved rath-
err reticent as to taking personal credit
for the augmented attendance. He did
admit, however. that the matter of
personal touch may have something to
do with it.
He. in common with all of the at
taches of the house, strive to render
courtesy to patrons in every way pos
sible. This is manifested In divers
forms. such as greetings on entering
and short chats in the rotunda after
the show. getting opinions of the peo-
pie. etc. Extraordinary pains are also
taken to return lost articles. Recently
n pocketbook was found containing Il
small amount Of money and some pa
pers. but the only means of identifica-
ton We're three initials. Manager
Hart conceived the idea of looking for
these initials in the telephone direc-
tory, found them and called the num-
Der and it proved to be the man who
had lost the wallet.
A few weeks ago one of the ushers
found a scarf and almost Immediately
a gentleman living out of town claim
ed 1t as belonging to his wife. His
name and address We're taken and a
little later another claimant young
lady-put in her appearance. Her de-
scription Of the scarf was correct but
the attendant who talked with her eX-
planned the situation and promised to
adjust the matter but failed to secure
her name. When told of this Mr. Hart
issued instructions to all attaches to
watch out for the young lady. Mean
while he received the scarf back from
the first claimant with a note Of apol-
ogy. Monday night the girl claimant
was spotted by an attendant and the
scarf returned to her.
