TT. @ myetery, or @ giamour, GP whatever we ‘may ehooso to oa it, about the newapaper of- fice, Just as there ts about the stage. or less curiosity. The big, open-eyed Public wonders how done, On the Gurface it appears to be an eany, neat Bit of work. But what are the plain, unadorned facts? For example, let's go back toa night | when I “went back" to see Milen Terry. | She had just finished @ “great” scene and was headed at full speed for hor regeing-room. “Wait a minute, please,” phe said. "I'm going to change my stockings. I've just discovered there's @ hole in one of them. But, as you value your life, don't say anything bout it!” It's much the same with the ne Paper actor, He may stand on his di nity, and at the same time rest upon an elbow that betrays a holo in his| shirt. There's many a newspaper man, | of course, with a whole shirt to his back, But the public has a keen eye for the hole in the shirt, or rather for the newspaper man in his shirtsiceves. “A strenuous effort to satisfy this cur- fosity is being made at the Colonial’ Theatre in a rash play called “Copy, and every newspaper man whore sense of humor hasn't bee worked to the bone should make the best of his nisht off by going to see himself as the aus thors, Kendall Sanning and Harold Kellock, see him, He won't lack for amusement. To begin with, he will have to make allowances for one or two, even three, things. It may surprise him to find that the “city room" of a New York dally looks amazingly like the country office in which he began his feverish carcer. He may also not the rejuvenating fact that the keynote of journalism is sounded by enthusiastic youth, To be mure, the city editor no longer smokes cigarettes, and his gentle, / xindly manner suggests that his simple luncheon consists of a plate of nails take, he has a heart under his sh yes, a heart, not a time clock. All this comes out in due time at the Colonial. The cruel thing about “Copy” 1s Mb {t brings back painful grecollections 0 the & cum disaster.

Waiter Henry Hall conducted, and the soloists were Alma Gluck, Mildred Pot- ter, Charles Hackett and Herbert With- |erapoon, The orchestra seemed to be recruited mainly from the Philharmonic. ‘The chorus of four hundred voices in- cluded, besides the University Chorus, members of the Brooklyn Oratorio Bo- clety, the New Rochelle Chorus and the Yonkers Choral Society. A footnote to the programme sald: Columbia University is desirous of fostering and cultivating an Interest in choral music in New Work City and in towns in the immediate vi- cinity, The need !s indicated by the fact that there in New York, during each musical season, about one hundred orchestra’ high gtandard, and less *than ten choraf’ performances. To minimize this undue proportion the mow includes choral m: extension work, Through the dif- ferent centres it aims to develop eventually a festival chorus of one thousand trained chorglists, ‘The performance was highly creditable to all concerned. Mme. Gluck’s lovely volce, Oratoria school, lent itself wonderfully well to the ensembles. Mildred, Potter, certs of tenor, sang admirably, both disclosing voices of quality, Herbert Witherspoon, experienced in the bass part, completed sonorous and clear voiced, Except that in the “Sanctus” it was sluggish, it w BE CAREFUL WHAT _ The danger in using patent medicines is from the id fret from alcohol, narcotics and dan- gerous drugs, Father John's Medicine No grt Ada or! sonous drugs. ther J Chit is hee cures ware i, ti i wih Easy $65 Broadwood Terms 904.
