Theatrical Treats
By Allen Cabot

severe and impressive theatrical
manager in Reflected Glory
Tallulah Bankhead's stellar
comedy at the MOrosco, has
way with under studies. Such
way in fact, that few ever like
to understudy Mr.. Clement.
Believing that prevention is
worth pounds more than ounces
Of cure, Mr.. Clement always
takes his understEdy to one side
and gives him the following
commentary:
II once had an understudy.
He was very fine chap. I
daresay he was an actor. Every
night he hung around in the
wings, waiting for me to fail to
show up. Finally, one night, I
didn't show up. And do you
know what happened TO my
understudy? He went on TO play
my part, but had only spoken
a few lines when he had a
paralytic stroke.
