ACTORS ADHERE CLOSELY
TO STAGE SUPERSTITIONS
Artists Observe Peculiar Customs,
Believing Violation Brings
Misfortune.
By the Associated Press.


BERLIN, May 30-Since a stage
superstition holds that a play is bound
to flop if, during rehearsal, children
who have been smuggled into the
theater are turned out, a number of
enterprising Berlin urchins have made
it a custom to sneak into the house
during rehearsals.
The strength stage superstition may
acquire is demonstrated by a well
known actor now playing in one of
the west end theaters. Whenever this
artist is on the way to the theater
and finds that he has forgotten some
thing invariably chooses a roundabout
route to return for 1t, even using the
servants stairs and clambering
through his bathroom window.
One of Berlin's most popular CO.
medians, who also has the reputation
of being three-bottle man after the
show, is frantically superstitious
about switching off or blowing out
the light in his room. To preclude
such a fateful emergency" he un-
dresses by the light of candle, which
he then extinguishes in basin of
water.
