No one.doubts the valor of Orndorff, but there are cir- cumstances under which the man with the grudge against a bear for- gets his {1l feeling and is willing to g0 in the other direction and leave behind all his prejudices. Speaking of bears is why the name of the celebrated stage director of the proud vaudeville house is mentioned. There are performing bears at the Orpheum, much to the sorrow of the attendants, who are not accus- tomed to handling the brutes. There- by hangs a tale. A few nights ago when the cur- tain had gone down on the pole- walking act in which the big bear had secured the bottle of sweet wa- ter, the old animals were safely secured, but the cub when whipped off the stage did not meet his mas- ter behind the scenes and conse- quently was not locked up. In the dim light between the drops Direc- tor Orndorff and his assistants be- gan taking down the horizontal bar Spon which the animals had performed. Mr. Orndorffl was ‘“‘dry smoking”’ a cigar and during the haste of getting the paraphernalia out of the way looked down between i |oocee F THOUGHT HIS TIME HAD COME o How a Good-Natured Bummer Bear Terrified the Stage Director of the Or- pheum.

Orndorff did not stand on ceremony; he did not stand on anything. He simply threw himself backward in- to space and prayed that the brute would not smash him. The shock wns so great “Harry” forgot he had a cigar in his mouth and “%2 resinlt was that w Le de~oted nis attention to getting ont or the way he swallowed two-thirds of his Ha- vana. Mr. Bear went the other way very fast, and was just in time to ut the fear of the Lord in the eart of one of Orndorfl’s assist- ants, who fled blindly away from the presence of the earnest beast, and in his wild career colildad with a wire guy rope, which caugnt him on the stomach and carefully threw Lim twenty feet to the other side of the stage. Orndorfl was finally found in the property room secreted behind a statue of Mars. The as- sistant has not been found yet. As for tha bear he was only looking for sugar, and as soon as his master issued orders he went meekly to lus quarters, having no thnufht of the horrors he had engendered. The handsome stage director of the Orpheum has not yet been able to see the joke. He is found orca- sionally coughing up sections of un- smoked cigar and is religiously keeping off the stage until he is as- sured alnt the bears are all chained Tt is said he will vote against up. tl:’c further engagement of hears, cither stuffed or genuine. He would rather fight cross fairies.
