REHEARSALS NO
REFLECTION OF
life ON STAGE

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S (P.--Rehear-
sails, whether of opera, musical CONS
edy or motion pictures, are engross-
ing work, lacking the glamor that
audiences associate with stage life.
They are business-li1e affairs, dur
ing which the artists and directors
apparently forget all sides. Even
noises of mechanical activities thar
give the stage the appearance or
a workshop are little Needed except
in the opera rehearsal when ears
are attwned to musical notes that
must be faithfully exexcuted.
GOred When orr Stage
Visitors are disracting and there
FORE barred. But here is an idea of
what takes place:
In the center of a stage a com
edian is going through his business"
Suddenly cue is given and a young
man starts pounding melody out
of a piano. A dozen girls in works
ing clothes-dresses bathing suits or
costumes that look like rompers-
dance onto the stage followed by
the chorus men, automatically smii-
ing, and begin singing. Soon the
music stops, the chorus smiles it's
way out and the comedian picks mp
his antics and patter where he left
off.
1t is musical comedy company
hard at work. The members of the
ost are seriously alert while they
are on the stage, but when awaiting
their turn In the wings they appear
bored. Property men and mechanics
meanwhile are moving scenery ana
hammering away at some bit of car
pentry. The few who are intent
upon the rehearsal, however, are oo-
livious of the noise.
Some blocks away grand opera rs
being rehearsed under different con-
ditions.
Opera Is Different
On the stage a duet is being sung.
Workman are shifting scenery and
properties, arranging the lights and
performing other mechanical tasks.
But their movements are quiet and
the noise of their labor is muffled.
"Shhh! Shhh!' the stage director
Kisses and the indiscreet blows or
hammer cease. Then the director
turns a dark look on the chorus
crowded in the wings and the un.
dertone of conversation in several
languages subsidies. Artistic tempera-
ment is not ruffled by any unneces-
sary disturbances
Across the city scenes are being re-
hearsed in motion picture studio.
A small orchestra of string instru-
ments is playing a >throbbing piece.
The VILLAIN walks onto the set ana
harasses the heroine. In different
parts of the studio carpenters are
working industriously and noisily.
Just. off the set are actors and ex-
tras waiting to be called. They, too,
find it irksome business as they
talk in low tones, read or stroll
about aimlessly.

ANTON LANG's SLANG

MIDDLETOWN, Conn, Dec IS QP--
American slang has become para

CITY DUMP OF
DALLAS HAS ITS
PHILOSOPHY

DALLAS, Dec. IS GA dump, has
its philosophers and it's human fol-
bles no less than the world from
which it's rubbish comes
A dozen families live on the SAL
wage from the Dallas municipal dump
Live on scraps others throw away
and man has just contracted &c
pay the city $3.50 a. month for the
privilege Of gathering junk from
the dump. He farms out the priv
ilege to others on a $3.50 basis There
is keen competition for the junking
rights.
Livelihood from Scraps
Two hundred tons of waste arc
thrown daily into this graveyard
The incinerator burns 80 tons every
IL hours, and the remainder is scay-
tered over the II acres of dump to
be burned in the open after the
junkers pick it over. A tidy sum
is wrested from these discarded
things.
On an autumn afternoon, with the
haze of many fires circling abou,
him, stood one of the older resi-
dents of the city of refuse, looking
off toward the tall buildings ana
fine apartment houses whence comes
much of the rubbish on which ne
exists.
He lives with his family at the
edge of the desolate waste in a
shack made of scrap boards and TIN.
The family consists of his wife, two
girls, aged seven and three, and .
boy of 10.
'sWell, it's an honest living, any
way" philosophical the junker. ''The

The realism starts with tiny
babies modelled from life in their
lace hung bassinets, with their basket
trays of baby clothes. bands, shirts,
rubber pants, slips, pettcoats, rear

Word was received in Seward on the last boat from the Don Tyer family, who are at the present residing in Tul- sa, Okla. Mrs. Tyer is the daughter of the former well-known publisher of the Gateway, H. B. Selby.

 The weather down in that part of the universe is rather warm, accord ing to the letter, as Mrs. Tyer stated that the thermometer registered 50 above on Christmas Day and at the time of her writing, it was 100-a per feet excuse for suicide. MT.
