Mr. Warner Oland, who suffered the tortures of the sculptor, fairly wallowed {n woe until a fat friend who suggested the travelling salesman at the Galety took him away to Italy. All this was supposed to take place in London, but the fat friend as well as certain references In the play smacked loudly of New York. The Vampire then turned his attention to an adolescent poet from Canada, and this gentus had no sooner taken the sculptor's old room tn Hartleigh's house than he began to feel long, tapering fingers groping in his brain, The Vampire pulled Poetry out of him by the yard. Sometimes he would just absorb it by the long- distance system and then again he would make passes over the youth's head and Bet an extra good haul, Mr. John E. Kellerd, who had the whole business at his fingers’ ends, looked like a Mterary Svengall with a clean shave, He was so con- vincing that you felt thankful you were not a genius.
