Newest Favorite

Each week I thank q kind Provi-
dence that Miss Doyle is not
obliged to became "stooge" for
some feeble com edy act and
shuns any attempt to hook slice
of applause for herself by reveal
ing versatility. She has grown in
esteem and popularity on Thir-
teenth Street, because she has
been assigned a certain essential
task and .perfor it neatly
enough.
All of this does not Danish the
matter of ceremony to the limbo
of obScurity. Wesley Eddy and
others who have unique and dis
tinct gifts as entertainers will
find their new niche in the
amusement world without trouble.
1t does mean that the vogue for
M. C.'s is passing and I. for one,
am not among the mourners. My
vote still goes for the printed card
or annunciator, but if we can't
have it. then my second choice
is for the loud speaker system.

Became Entertainers

All of this makes me sigh for
the days when I knew the names
of 500 vaudeville acts and was
fairly familiar with their enter
tainment routine. Their names
were impressed upon my faltering
memory either by a card which
was visible while they were enter
tanning. or by reference to a
program which had their names
down in black and white.
1 confess that 1 like the Earle
Theater's system of announcing
better than any of the current
styles for stage toastmasters. It
employs-as perhaps you know
the lissome and wholesome Max
inc Doyle, who attempts no wise
cracks. never goes into dance,
eschews singing, but does present
a dignified and informative bull
letin on what the audience may
expect and the names of the
entertainers. The complimentary
THANK You-uu is just a coy
trade mark.

Realized Mistakes

AS far as Dorothy was con-
cerned. the weeks dragged along
as though they were Vars. She
realized now that she had made
a horrible mistake. The love
she once gave this man now
turned to great fear. She
prayed for the day when the
show would close.
Eventually, the time arrived.
Dorothy was packing her trunk
when Harry came down. He
asked her what she was doing.
I'm getting ready to leave.
Harry" she told him. The
show closes here in a couple
of days and goes to Cleveland.
I'm going to meet mother there

that meant nothing. The man
stepped forward. His voice was
not harsh. AS a matter Of fact,
it was kind.

you're my girl and I love you.
But aside fom that, there's
something else you must under

Dorothy was a trifle indig-
nant.
"Harry's not mysterious at
all" she asserted. And when
you say I'm in love with him,
I think maybe you're right. He
doesn't have to work because
his father left him a lot of
money. But that's not the
reason like him so we'll. Not
at all.
"It's because he's SO doggone
decent to me. He hands me
little gifts and flowers, of
course, but never once has he
attempted to get fresh. He's
just a regular person. And
I'm beginning to care for him
in a big, big way"
After a month had elapsed,
Dorothy was SO in love that she
cared about nothing else. With
his placid and unhurried atten-
tions, Harry had done a good
job. The girl believed every
thing he told her and was only

Becomes Suspicious

AS Clm6 WenC along, OOlOCAly
began to notice peculiar things
going on around the beautiful
apartment in which she was
living. Hardlooking characters
dropped in at all hours of the
day and night and seemed to
be very much at home. She
would answer phone calls for
Harry and take strange mes
sages. AS, for instance:
Tell Harry that guy was at
tended to-" Or Let Harry
know that wop won't bother
him no more" And so on.
The girl was extremely wor-
ried. And one night she asked
Harry about the situation.
It's true, kid" he admitted
frankly. Il thought you knew
my racket a long time ago.
But don't let it worry you.
That's just my businesS-the
same as yours is stepping on a
stage and looking pretty.
Il love you plenty, Dorothy.
I am not going to stay in this
business too long. It's not
healthy. And as soon as clean
up enough jack, we'll both get
out of it. That is all there is
to it, kid"
The girl was terribly fright
ened. She went to several
people in the show and asked
their advice. All of them told
her it would be wisest to re-
main with the man until the
show closed in Chicago and
moved to another town. So the
girl, worried beyond all words,
did exactly that.

Dorothy's Story


themselves in similar situations.
Another man spoke.
ANY of you remember Doro-
thy B-?" he asked. "She
worked with me in that revue
about three years ago. I heard
part of her story. but I never
learned the ending. Any of
you fellows know what really
became of her?"
None of us could supply the
answer. We knew only that
she has been missing for
long, long time.
The Dorothy he had been
talking about was a great lit
tie kid. She was only II years
of age, and she was playing in
her first show. This, you will
remember, was three years ago.
Putting aside the inevitable
jealousy angles, practically any
one in that show could have
told you that Dorothy was the
sweetest kid in the outfit. She
lived with and supported her
mother-but she never per-
mitted her mother to become
a pest around the theater.
She never went out with
anyone connected with the
show. She was courteous to
everyone, but never familiar.
The producer must have ap-
preciated her value as a show
girl because he had her spotted
in preferred positions through
out the performance. In short,
Dorothy was attractive, decent
and sensible.
Goes to Chicago
After a long run in New
York. the show went to Chi
cago. 1t proved just as great
a hit out there as it had been
in New York. So the members
of the troupe settled them
selves for stay of at least
four months and possibly
much longer.
On the road Dorothy was
the same kid she had been in
New York. Her mother re-
manned in New York, and Doro-
thy lived alone. But that
didn't seem to make the slight
est difference in her life as
far as decency was concerned.
The troupe still respected the
girl immensely.
Ask me how she first met
Harry and 1 will not be able
to supply you with the infor-
nation. All I know is that. for

Dorothy went. Harry told her
some sort of an intricate story
about not being able to marry
her at that particular time and
then asked her to share his
apartment with him. She
fought bitterly with herself. But
in the end, because she was so
gone on the man, that was
exactly what happened.

Black and brown are equally
good as trimming on coats of

We thought that was about as
effective a combination as could
be worked out until we saw

fur used changes the color of
the red slightly. so be sure you

MARK SET BY WOOD
IN 1912 IS DOOMED
Mack SouthpaW, Loaded
With LaureIs, Can Lose
Again and Still Prevail.
ny HUGH s. FULLERTON, JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n YOT content with leading
M the Philadelphia Athletics
/ y in their greatest pennant-
winning season in the
American League and becoming
the first left-hand pitcher ever to
win 80 major league games, Rob-
ert Moses Grove evidently is out
to set a record for the boys to
shoot at for a good many years.
Grove already has tied one American
League record by winning 16 straight
games earlier this season. and seems
to have clinched new major league
pitching mark as he won his thirty
first game Of the year yesterday. SO far
the southpaw king has lost only 3
games against his 81 victories, giving
which stands at least until this season
ends, Is the 1872 average made by Smoky
Joe Wood of the Boston Red Sox, who
won "a games and lost 5 in 1912. 1t
seems likely that Grove will not pitch
again before the world series, but he can
even hur1 and lose one more and come
out with record Of 1856.
T EFTY has done good many other
- things worthy Of note this season.
In winning yesterdays game from
Boston by q 9-to-4 count Grove gave
only five hits to gain record for the
season of allowing only 241 safeties in
286 innings, and by tanning four men
he brought his strikeout total, which
leads the league by wide margin, up
to 169. The Athletics as team piled
up seven of their runs from the third
to the sixth innings to win their 106th
victory of the season, two more than
any previous team Of Athletics ever has
won in season.
A pitcher far less seasoned than Grove
scored a triumph that probably was as
important to him in yesterdays other
American League game. Oral Hide
brand, who came up to the Cleveland
Indians from Indianapolis only short
time ago, bested the veteran Earl
Whitehill of Detroit to win his second
major league victory, 8 to 4. Hide
brand allowed only eight hits.
Big Jim Elliott of the Phillies turned
in an enviable performance In the only
