Rather Avenges
Capture of Mate
AS Zoo Man Dies
Former Snake Expert of
Bronx OverlOOks Fatal
Fang Mark.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 14-One of the
worlds leading authorities on snakes is
dead. the victim of the Infatuated mate
of rattlesnake he had just captured.
Charles E. Snyder, former head reptile
keeper at the Bronx Zoo and pupil of
DR.. Raymond L. Ditmars. ZOO curator,
died at Good Samaritan Hospital, Suf-
fern, N. Y, yesterday from the effects
of a snake bite inflicted earlier In the
day while he was hunting snakes in the
Ramapo Hills.
Snyder and companion, Paul
Snyder, no relative, were on Torn Noun
tain. region known to be infested with
rattlers when the former zoo keeper
came upon a large specimen.
He pinned its head with forked
stick and leaned over to pick 1t up. The
mate of the captive emerged from the
underbrush and struck his hand. 'One
fang slashed the flesh. The other made
only a slight puncture.
Snyder concentrated first-aid efforts
on the open wound, apparently over
looking the smaller puncture. 1t was
through this that the reptile had in
jected its deadly venom into vein.
The injured man made his way 3
miles to a highway, where passing
motorists took him to the hospital. Sew
eral injections of serum were made, but
without avail.
Snyder was SO years old. He joined
the staff of the Bronx Zoo in 1899, and
after Is years was made head keeper,
a position he held for five years. He
went to the Buffalo Zoo i'll 1919 as oil
rector. After returning to New York he
had been employed by brokerage firm
and hunted snakes as q hobby.

fessionals handling a Zan-
ME revue not only knew
their rackets, but had proven
that they had the steel
nerved temperaments to be
trusted when a fortune hung
in the balance, when one
clumsy gesture or one false
switch pulled or one stage
brace dropped or one sour
note struck or one seconds
delay might ruin an ace
scene. Mistakes are unfor-

The orchestra synchro-
nSZed into the Introductory

was already lined in the
entrances. The overture ran
six minutes.
"Curtain!" was relayed
back-stage.

brass-crash and the final

Melody" had all the early
indications Of being "over. T"
A speciality had followed
the opening chorus. Eddie's
opus majus was next. he
was on his toes. His eyes
were dead front. There was
a tenseness in his physical
being. Whatever rumbled
or seethed within him-and
he, too, had burning grief
and biting doubts-must
wait, must take second
place for the time being.
He ran the lyrics over,
silently. he re-rehearsed
his routine of steps without
moving a muscle Of a foot.
He smiled his smiles and
executed his business"
without changing a feature
or stirring a hand. This was
vital business. The other
was life and death-but it
could wait-it must wait
The stage manager was
round now, seeing with his
own eyes that Eddie was
ready. He whispered the
cue to him as a final precau-
tion-unnecessary, but no
one was taking any chances
that night.
The girls knew his cue as
well as he did. They knew
all the cues as well as they
did their own.
It was almost due now.
Hank let her hand find
his. She squeezed it. He re-
turned abstractedly til 9

GOOD luck, sweetheart

whispered.
He squeezed her hand
again in acknowledgment
without turning.

On his face was the fly
expression he had been
taught to wear as he hoofed
into view.
His cane was jauntily
poised, his feet were work
ing in perfect unison against
the split-beats of his own
tune.
A salvo of applause burst
forth. He was the composer.
He had friends out front
professionals and fellows of
the music trade, mostly
standing uncomfortably be-
hind the last row. But they
were loyal and they would
see that he got a "recep-
ton that by which actors
as well as presidential nomi-
nees are weighed.
And into the number he
went-a smile upon his face,
his whole body behind the
shading Of every word he
sang-the carefree, debonair
song and dance man, the
spirit of frivolous Broadway
interpreting that avenue of
fun and life and levity
through its song and it's
laureate.

stepped backward holding
each end of a split curtain
of shimmery silk, a light
blue background on which
was embroidered the Broad
way skyline in relief. The
chorus lines danced in and
down, and in the twinkle
of an eye symmetrical
formation of 80 beauties
filled the big stage and was
in the rhythmic, plastic
thoes of the first number.
Broadway Melody" was
on and in the lap of the
Fates!
In the wings stood the
Mahoney sisters. They had
a double bit with other
semi-principals in the third
chorus of the theme song,
which Eddie Kerns, its COM
poser, led. They were to-
gether, but nothing was said.
During premieres there must
be no distractions.
Queenie looked radiant.
She had slept almost all day.
Youth and vitality like hers
quickly overcomes the eff
fects of the drowsy, tipsy
condition that had possessed
her when she came home to
Hank from her birthday
party in Francis WARMERS
skyscraper roof bungalow.
She was completely self
possessed.
Hank, alone, true trouper
til ough she was, had
thoughts just then for other
things beyond the success
Of Broadway Melody"
Not that she wished it any
thing less than everything.
Her Eddie's songs - her
Queenie's opportunity-they
meant much to her.
But the flowers that filled
her dressing-room, sent to
Queenie without a card,
frightened her. If the dia-
mond and emerald bracelet
had left any room for
further fear, those flowers
had filled it. They must
have cost hundreds of dol
lars-to live a day and to
express the extravagant
thoughts and desires OF the
man she hated and feared
above all else on earth.
Formidable competition, he
must be, against her feeble
defenses in a last stand be-
fore Queenie.
He had sent no telegram.
Every ham they knew had
invested a few cents to send
the usual bromides-some of
them comic, some of them
mushy, all of them well

been known, but showfolks
don't bank on miracles, chill
dren Of optimistic fancy
though they be.
They smile and backslap
one another between assem-
bling and going on for the
fateful event. They wish
one another all sorts Of wild
luck. Stagefright is only
story-book stuff; profession
ais don't know it. They
usually give inspired per-
formances under the pres
sure of the critical zero
hour.
There are many super
stitions connected with
openings-no one may cross
the stage inside a set; no
one may whistle in a dress
ing room or on the stage;
no one may send out laun-
dry from the theater before
the last curtain falls; no
one may post in dressing
rooms the kilograms received
until after the last curtain
! falls; no one may wear on
stage any article of street
Clothes" even unseen ones;
no one may bring a dog into
the theater that night; no
one may say anything begin
ming with "if this show
gets over" or the like; no
one may eat in a dressing
room-and if anybody
showed a bottle of liquor
before or during a premiere
there would be a lynching.
The hustle and crowding
and buzz buzz and merri-
ment and grouching out
front is in sharp contrast
to the quiet, businesslike de-
meanor behind the foots.
No Glowing or gagging
there, no apparent nervous
ness, no stepping on each
others feet. Costumes are
laid out in order of require
ment. Scenery and props
ditto. All lights have been
tested again. There are no
last minute changes. The
overture usually rings i'm
anywhere from 20 minutes
to almost an hour late.
That is because the audience
is late, not because any
thing prepared for it is
tardy.
Callboys go the rounds to
make assurance doubly sure,
for on this night, alone, the
schedule is variable, be-
cause the curtain does not
rise at the given split Sec
ond. At last comes the cry
-" Overture "a The stage
manager presses a button.
A buzz that only the leader
can hear responds. A baton
taps the guard over the
light on the directors music
rack. 1t rises on high. 1t
starts down, and the music
is on.
