I wonder how many OF you who
come into the Boys and Girls Room
in search of aid in the teaching or
bringing up Of children think Of the
picture collection. DO you know that
there are approximately 1000 pic
lures in the collection? The ones
which seem most popular among the
teachers especially are the animal
and bird sets. Also scenes from d.
ferent foreign countries ana lovely
illustrations from stOries-Mother
Goose, Alice In Wonderland, Treas

Three Bears, and scores Of others are
in great demand. There are many

RUSSELL JANNEY
TOSENDOUT TWO
VAGABOND KINGS
New York Cast viii Remain
in New York for Many
More Months.

1t is rather interesting to note that
Russell Janney's musical. THE Vaga-
bond King" with a special company,
will open in Chicago, exactly one
year from the day this thrilling oper-
eta was first presented on any stage.
This initial performance took place
In New Haven, and was to a certain
extent a baptism, as Justin Huntly
McCarthy's IF l Were King at that
time was given the name of THE
Vagabond King"
The curtain went up under the diff
ficulties which were enough to give
a manager nervous prostration, but
when the asbestos closed in the stage
a little after midnight, it was
crowned n success.
Every one was delightad with the
Friml score. the splendid story, and
lyrics by w. II. Post and Brian
Hooker, the stage settings and color
full costumes of James Reynolds.
The latter had indeed set a new
standard for the embellishing Of a
historical musical play.
Change Necessary
But there We're many changes
necessary. Richard Boleslawsky, the
Russian wizard in staging large or
CARNATIONS. was sent for. Some few
changes were made in the cast and
in a little over one weeks time such
wonders were wrought that when
it opened in New York at the Casino

Along" who will appear at the
Lyric the week of Aug. 20, Sis
sic, singer and song writer, the son
of a preacher, was reared in Indi-
annapolis, his father having been pas
tor of Simpson Chapel, Eleventh
and Missouri SITS, for a number of
years. Blake, composer and pianist,
second to none as an accompanist,
is from Cleveland.
Sissle and Blake's partnership is
the result of mountaineering and
association during the war when
they were members of Lieutenant
James Reese Europe's colored regi-
mental band which won distinction
overseas.
Following the bands return to
this country Lieutenant Europe took
Blake as soloists. The tour, which
created Juror in musical circles.
came to a sudden end when Europe
met tragic death at the hands of
ore Of his musicians who harbored
n fancied wrong.
Without prospects of any sort Sis.
sic and Blake decided to join hands
in writing and producing a musical
comedy. Shuttle Along was the
result of their efforts.
They are now the highest salaried
colored team before the public as
we'll as being recipients of substan-
tial royalties from the publication
of their songs and their phono-
graphic records.

ing the wonders of "Umpville
Heights"
Surely it does seem that all the
unsuccessful Floridans have moved
their camps. And for all l
care they can return to Florida to
morrow.
Without doubt the oldest door to
be found in all these United States
has been contrived by one of the big
New York publishing houses. Just
as various DISCUSSES are used by
grog dispensaries. so this concern
has built a door into the "sanctum
sanctorum" that will battle all 5ut
the initiated.
The waiting room is, obviously. a
huge library. The door appears to
be n continuation of the library
shelves ard. until it is opened. only
a practiced eye would be able to
locate it. 1t is opened by grabbing
the binding of n book which is
glued to the woodwork and
substitutes for a door-knob.
The purpose, while partially for
effect. is chiefly for keeping out the
usual crowd Of nuisances who throng
70 publishers and have no hesitance
in crashing through any visible gate.
