The suckers keep on sending their
coin to sinful sharks. in spite of my
unending sage counsel and remarks.
These suokerlike civilians who won't
to me give car are blowing hard
earned millions for gold bricks every
year. In vain the village banker ex-
pound. the safer plan: for sudden
wealth they banker. and seek the
gold brick man. or unearned coin
they're dreaming. and in their sleep
behold the glittering and gleaming
of bricks all filmed with gold. You'd
think when once they’ve tasted the
faker's bitter draft, their coin would
not be wted n‘gain on such a graft.
Betrayed by some false muckcr
you'd think they'd quit. but no: the
sucker is a sucker while he remains
below. The suckers’ hopes are l-ulld-
ed on dope of rainbow hue. on prom-
ises so gilded they never could be
true. The millions that. sire wasted
would buy the suckers homes. with
goldleaf neatly pasted upon the
shining domes. The millions they
have squandered would buy them
rich sedans. in which they 'nlght
have wandered in joyride caravans.
The millions sent to falters would
buy them airships proud. and they

NEW YORK. Ocv... 20. 1923.—-—
When the picturesque company from
the Grand Guiguol of Paris arrived
in New York under the clceronag:
of the Messeurs Sclwyn. and lnagur-
atcd their first bill with three in-
nocuous and one fairly mild play.
the press and such members of the
public as expressed itsclt’. called
loudly uponathe players to be them-
selves. Their reputation for pre-
senting plays that chilled the mar-
row or suffused the faces of the
bashful with blushes. was Well
known and New York wanted to
blush and it wanted to thrill. So the
gentlemen in charge took counsel.
and this week they have changed
their bill. and the lust playlct (livid.
ed into two acts, gives usxa. view of
a doting father seeking to restore
life to his daughter by elcctricnty,
and partly succeeding. As the body
begins to show signs of life. the la-
‘thcr. a. notcd surgeon, bends over
to take her in his arms and the me-
chanlcal arms come up to meet him.
The hands clutch him about the
throat in a. death grip and we see
the lather. unable to break the grip,
slowly strangle to death. 80 New
York asked and the visitors gave.
This is a fair example of the sort
of plays that can be given by this
interesting group. If the scenic pre-
sentations do not meet our standards
then at least give us excellent roul-
isiic and naturalistic acting and that
makes up for many other shortcom-
tags.
New York’s visitors are finding
this little company and their unus-
uul bills. an interesting chapter in
illt'll' act-king for thrills in the Metro,
polls. \Vllilc more have been no eti-
dcnco of women fainting in tho .iudi.
cuce there is every midcnce that
since the company struck their
stride and is acting itself. that it will
prove one of the north while placi-s

Our cousins from abroad have just
awakened to the fact that a. zom-
llilssioner for tile Rudolph \V’urlltzu-r
|company. musical instrument deal-
trs. has just captured from under
their very eyes the most \aluablc
collcction of famous violins in the
world. The collection was held in
Glasgow, and it was taken for grant-
(‘d that when the time came to sell
them. the owner would first consult
the British dealers and collectors.
This. apparently is just what he did
not do. Jay C. Freeman. represent-
ing the \Vuriitzer company. went
abroad and before the British desi-
crs even realised that he was in
Europe. the sale had been consum-
atcd and the collection valued at
nearly half a million dollars and
containing one of the four rare
Stradivarius instruments. together
with an almost equally priceless
Guarnerius. they were on the steam—
or with the purchases. guarded night
and day insured for their approx-
imate value. Now that the collec-
tion is safe in New York. the British
writers collectors. and enthusiastic
\v ritcrs of letters to the press. are be-
ginning to utter their protests. In
the meanwhile every collector in
this country has made an offer to
the VVurlltzer company. but the col-
lection is still being exhibited in
New York. ‘

While Bessie Barriscalo was in
San Francisco she stopped on the
curb to wait for a taxi and observed
a. youngster with a mournful face.
‘What's the matter?" the actress
inquired.
"I want to go to my mgther." he
replied "and I ain't got no money."
"That's too bad." Miss Barriscale
answered as she drew out her purse.
”How much do you need to get to
her?”
"A quarter," he answered. Miss
Barris’cale handed it to him. "I could
go downstairs." he continued. but
the co is any cents there."
"K'here in the world is your mo—

"At the Arpheum theater watch—
