+. Time Between Woodridge, » N. J., and the Casino. He's a Good Scene Shifter, » Says He Hopes to Be a 4 - Good Mayor, PHILOSOPHY OF A SCENE-SHIFTER WHO IS A MAYOR, If you put your foot on the bottom rung, never stop till you rench the top of the ladder. The more learning the less failing. Fraternity is a great word—onc not to be lightly treated. Be inst. I would rather be an outcast than have it satd of me that [am not a just man, By Alice Rohe. ‘You ought to see the Mayor hustle the scenery around at the Camino. ‘The Mayor? Certainly. The Casino without doubt has the most distin- guished stage hand in the country. He fs John H, Palmer, Mayor of Wood- (fldxe, N. J., and whep he Isn't shift- Ing scenes for The Barl and the Girt he is performing the duties of Mayor ‘for the little town, where 1,300 inhab- | Stants think he js about the finest man who ever sat in the Mayor's chair. "Ht fen't often you find @ real live Mayor doing duty as a stage hand, but Gohn H. Paimer is anything but en ordinary stage hand—remember that. Furthermore, he has been dignified by the advancement to assistant stage manager, so with his title of Mayor hho fs the biggest man behind the scenes at the Casino. Even Eddie Foy takes off his embryo hat to him. : | +The Secret Gets Out. _ The secret of the Casino's famous Belper came out most unexpectedly the other night when Stage Manager Fay questioned his assistant as to why he hadn't appeared for duty the night be- Mr. Palmer replied that he had to attend a meeting of the Board of Al- German. “What were you doing at a meeting ef the Board of Aldermen?” demanded Mr. Fay. “Well. you see,” replied John H. Pal- mer, (Iam Mayor of Woodridge, N. J., and was necessary for me to be there." The Mayor-by-day-stage-hand-by-night Jes a remarkable man. At the Casino ‘Theatre he explained the wonder-creat- ing combination that has made him the man in Woodridge and one of the ‘best stage hands. in the country. John H, Palmer Divides His BEAT THE OLD LEADERS. | and {don't expect my two lines of duty to confilct at all," said Mr. Palmer af- ter the first setting of ‘The Kart and the Girl” had been put in position, “You see, I can perform my mayor's | duties in the day time and work hero at night. On matinee days the President of the Board of Aldermen can take my place, as he will be delegated to do when I am away from Woodridge at night. He Beat the Bosses. "Yes, I'm proud of being mayor and | my pride 1s due to the fact that I won| out over a combination that has been | in power eleyen years. The rich bosses at Woodridge tried to down me on the ground that I was a common laborer | ‘and uncouth and unlearned. “The first night I assumed the duti of office, though, I guess they changed | their minds about my lack of execu-| tive knowledge. I'm not saying this | in a spirit of egotism, but simply b cause the opposition tried to make me| out illiterate and uncouth, and I am strong against any discrimination | which puts any stigma of inferiority upon a man who is a laborer. “I was born in New York and I lived in New York all my life until five years ago, when I moved to Woodridxe. I married In New York thirty-three years ago and my only otdld, William H.,| was born here thirty-one years ago. My son 1s also employed at the Casino, and js an expert stage hand. “< suppose it does seem strange that| a stage band should be Mayor of a town, and I assure you I was the most surprised man in Woodridge when was nominated. though, constituents wanted me. “T am proud of one thi poss for the past eleven ¥ too.
