lighted audience at Masonic Tenn
pie Auditorium last night in q
modernized version Of what Is
probably the most ancient OF
amusements-the puppet show.
The presentation was THE Rose
and the Ring" adapted from m
Thackeray's medieval romance.
The facility with which the
manikins were manipulated by
the deft operators, the illusion
produced by contrast, the skillful
matching of action and dialogue
and the superb effects were truly
delightful. At one time as many
as is characters we're in action

peated this and tomorrow after,

What was Jerry to do? He
didn't know whether it was a

tainly couldn't back out at
such a moment. So he handed
the money to the officer.
You'll do me a great favor
by hurrying along he said.
I want to get that package

THE officer assured him he
wouldn't be but a minute or
two. He left. And Jerry stood
here. tapping the deck ner-
vously and waiting for his
change. He knew that he'd do
no business that day. All he
wanted was his $500 back.
He's Still Looking
HE didn't get it. Jerry
waited as long as he could and
just did get off as they pulled
the gangplank. The boat sailed
off as they pulled in the plank.
The boat sailed out-and aboard
it was his Jerr.-'s precious $500
bill.
Jerry hasn't been on a boat
since. He's been brooding ever
since he lost that money. He
sits in speakeasies and scans
the ship news. But it's the ar
rivals he's interested in now
and not the departures.

day and I've haStened 10 send

returns and that he's going

Has a New Racket
His racket, and he'd be the

is rather simple. On an aver
age of twice a week, he picks
out a large liner that is sailing
that day. He marks the time
5of departure very carefully and
then arrays himself in a travel
ing outfit. An hour or so be-
fore sailing time. he is walking
the decks and nodding and
smiling to people whom he
thinks will be good prospects.
"a short time before the All
Ashore call is sounded, he
rushes over to the most likely
looking prospect with a worried
expression on his benevolent
map. He explains that a C. o.
D. package has just come
aboard for him and that it calls
for. let us say, $40.
Jerry fishes into his pocket
and draws out a $500 bill. A
legitimate one, in case you feel

obviously.
