Only a Gag

Arriving there, I was intro
duced by the proprietor of the
cabaret to the boss of the speak
easy.
Glad to know you," was the
speakeasy mans greeting. You
must come around here some
time and do a story. on some of
the unusual characters that
hang around this joint"
What type of character" I
asked.
20" he replied, "all types.
But there's one fellow in partic-
ular who ought to make good
copy for you. He's a movie ex-
ira during the day, but he's
got a gyp racket during the
night that's the greatest thing
I ever heard Of"
"Yeah?" I asked pleasantly.
What is it?"
"O," replied the boss, "he
hangs around the entrance of
these gyp joints around here
and watches till a sucker comes
along. He strikes up a converse
ton by begging in an unusual
fashion and then. when the
prospect gets steamed, he tells
a sob story about dead wife
in Connecticut and daughter
that went on Broadway. -.
"You must come around some
time and watch him work. He
never fails to make a sucker
come across. You'll get many a
laugh out of him..
Great little tOwn-this New
York. But there certainly are
plenty of Saps running around
loose.

Some weeks ago I TAXED to
a small cabaret on the out
skirts of Greenwich Village. AS

bled for some change, a small
man with a worn suit and a
dirty cap walked out of the
darkness and approached the
cab driver.
Gould you spare the price
of a cup of coffee?" he asked.
The driver looked at him.
Gee, bud" he responded,
I'D like to help you. But it's
been an awful tough night
and"
The beggar raised his hand
and smiled a wan smile.
That's all right. friend" he
said in a tired voice, I'm used
to that"
He turned about and COM
menced to walk slowly away.
l called him back.
You're a strange bum" I
said. How come you ask the
driver for a dime and ignore
the passenger ?"
Two sorrowful eyes gazed into
mine.
First of all, sir" he re-
piled, Il am not a bum. But
that makes little difference. I
asked the driver because he,
too. is probably a poor man.
If he spares me a few cents,
I suffer no embarrassment.
IF I ask you, I become g.
beggar. And that is something
I will not do. That is all; sir.
Thank you for your interest"
And he walked away.
I paid the driver and stood
on the curb for a moment.
felt that I was wise enough to
know many rackets, but this
was a new one on me. The
man was unquestionably we'll
educated and far removed from
the ordinary type of beggar.
Seeming a story, I chased after
him.
Pardon, pal" I said as
caught up with him, Il didn't
mean to offend you in any way.
Suppose you drop in and have a
cup of coffee with me. I'd like
to have a talk with you"
He looked at me.

It may be that George Bernard

the announcement that the latest
Shaw work. TOO Good to Be
True" will be produced on Broad,
way this winter by the Guild is
totally eclipsed in public interest
by tidings of Eugene O'Neill's
trilogy, also set for the coming
season.
And here comes frank avowal
from one of the charter members
of the "Fed-Up With Shaw Club, "
Charles Collins of the Chicago
4LlUu1Ic.
There is only one detail in
the approaching theatrical sit
uatiOn that the dramatic editor
of the Tribune faces with a
sense of unutterable wearineSs.
And that is this new play by Mr..
Shaw. The Theater Guild may
rejoice over it, but the mere
thought of it gives me a sinking
feeling. 1 have seen enough
Shaw, and heard enough Shaw,
for one lifetime. The famous
, tOngue-in-cheek Of the SO-called
British AriStOphanes begins to
strike me as a morbid growth,
in need of surgery"
If this sort of heresy continues
it will soon be necessary for Mr..
Shaw to do something more than
merely write a new play. He will
have to go O'Neill several better
and write a play that will last a

Company said today, announcing

A statement in The Times a few
days ago said Albert Loesche, city
purchasing agent, had refused the
Dunlop bid, which was among low

not guaranteed.
The works board authorized
Loesche to give contracts for eight
tires to the Acme Tire Company,
for United States brand tires, and
to the General Tire Company for
four other heavy-duty tires for city

JOBS IN HOUSE
Democrats Would Control
and Mold Proposals
for Legislation.

BIZ Scripps-Hoirqrd Newspaper Auiance
WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.-Three
Texans, as probable committee
chairmen under Democratic control.
will mold the legislative proposals
through which the new house this
winter will pass on three major ma
tional issues.
These men, all of long service in
the congress, are IN line for the
chairmanships Of the committee on
agriculture, interstate and foreign
commerce, and judiciary, and as
such will have guiding hand in
determining how the problems Of
power, prohibition and agriculture
are placed before the house.
Past records of all three indicate
that each will approach his particu-
lar problem with a liberal attitude.
Representative Sam Rayburn Of
Texas apparently is assured the
Craftsmanship of the house commit
tee on interstate and foreign COM
merce under Democratic control.
Considered an expert on trans
portation matters. Rayburn an
nounced, when the last session end
ed, that he would introduce in the
new congress a resolution which
would uncover the real ownership
of the big power companies, reveal
how widely they own the operating
public electrical utilities, and de-
termine who owns the gas compa-
MES.
In Representative Hatton Sum-
ners of Texas the judiciary commit
tee would be headed by a man who
has had long experience as a prose-
cutting attorney.
His committee will determine in
what manner, if at all, the prohi-
bition question can come before the
house. Summers has said he con-
siders economic issues more impor-
tant now than the liquor question
His frienGs say he is not at all
pleased with the present prohibition
situation, but he never has an
nounced himself in favor or any al
tentative system.
The agriculture committee prob
ably will have as chairman Repre-
sentative Marvin Jones of Texas,
who took occasion last session to
protest against the federal farm
boards sterilization operations, and
who believes the federal government
should make an effort to reduce the
freight charges farmers have to pay.
