Peters ambition is to be found in
his dressing room back stage at the
Capitol. 1t is 305, the most COM
modious of the lot, the one assigned
weekly to the star of the bill.
Usually 1t is Uttered with symbols
of the craft, makeup items. port
able radios for snatching entertain
ment Cor Milton Berle's gags out
of the air, changes of costume,
kleenex and dozen and one similar
items This week it looks like
something for rent in an Army
barracks The only things in it are
Peter Hayes and Hemingway's For
Whom the Bell Tolls" There Is no
makeup kit, no change of cos
tune. nothing else.
Peters business is impressions.
They are impressions, too, of some
highly ornate people in the acting
business. But he lets them do the
making-up, the quick costume
changing. and all that sort of
thing. His impressions get below
the makeup and the surface, fine,
comically satirical things which are
not mere limitations or copies.
X X X x
Naturally, he doesn't explain 1t
that way. He doesn't explain any
thing about himself, indeed. On
the contrary, he has the neatest
variation on the average actors
exclusive concern with himself as
a subject of conversation that one
ever encountered. Also Just about
the funniest.
Peter talks almost exclusively
about Joe Frisco, the old comic.
In Is months of working with
Frisco on the program of Holly
woods almost most popular night
haunt. Grace Hayes Lodge, Peter
has picked up enough Frisco ma
terial to write 7-foot shelf of
books about his hero. He not only
thinks Frisco is the funniest chap
who ever lived, but in an hour of
anecdotes exclusively devoted to him
can prove it.
Between rounds of golf, after he
has achieved that anticipated re-
tlrement to perfect his game, he
should write a book about Frisco.
He's crazy if he doesn't. The anec-
dote about Frisco and the income
tax alone would make the book
something every one would be talk
ing about.
Whatever the fate of other old
stages, which have become kindling
for the fireplace, etc, that of the
Earle has been different. 1t has
been cut up into neat little stands
for brass plates which bear the
names of people associated with
the theater, directly or indirectly.
All the critics desks. for example,
are decorated with such name plates
today.
Thanks are due, John J. Payette
for the mementos.
The new stage, incidentally, is of
maple. But unlike such material
when used in home floor construc-
ton, it had to be treated differently.
:. Whereas maple, in the latter, is
treated to retain its gloss, the re-
verse was necessary in the theater.
-. The gloss would have picked up
and reflected lights, thereby ruin
ing some of those beautiful effects
which derive directly from lighting.

Hun1mingbird At Sea
BY Mary w. Pease

He passed us on the selfsame
course
Our great ship took to cross the
main.
A flash of color in a sky
Prophetic of the coming rain.
He had no place to land and rest,
No food to give him strength to
reach
The port on which his heart was
set,
BESIDE a palm-fringed line of
beach.
He seemed a shining jewel tossed
BY careless hands into the air
And yet he knew beyond doubt
The windswept path that he
must fare.
| picture him above a rose,
Safe and warm in a land of sun,
The tiniest bird in all the world
Rejoicing that his journeys
done.
He taught me that the heart can
find
Without the aid of chart Or star,
The loyliest things in any cline
However hard the way or far
