BY WAY OF DIVERSION, A whole grapefruit’s a gentle frult —as gentle as you'd wish, And It's plumb full of juice, to boot. It makes ® luscious dish. But once you slice the thing in two it's very far from tame. Of tricks “twill quite a few. For “Trick’ die name. I jab my spoon tn meat and juice shoots in my cannot help but show some hea matter how Lary. | jab again; an- other stream of juice goes in my ear, and then I let off vicious steam tn words no one should hear. If I could only learn the knack of making it be- have, at vaudeville I'd take @ whack. You'd #ee the people rave about the ekill that I displayed in making grapefruit mind. My fortune would quite goon be made and fame I'd quickly find. | OLD TALES MADE OVER. The programme for “The Thir- teenth Chair’ at one point reads: “Act IIL—The same. Half an hour later.” After the second act at a mat- inee recently, a woman patron went to the Forty-eighth Street Theatre's reception room and began reading a book, Presently the curtain rose on the third act, but she sat there obliv- tous of the fact. “Curtain’s up,” announced the matron. “Is that so?” asked the patron, “I didn’t know half an hour had gone by already.” IT’S ALL SETTLED NOW. Lucy Vista likes our “Lucile” and “Office Force” stories which appear occasionally on the editorial page of The Evening World. Therefore, she feels that we are just the person to do the Julia Richman High School a reat favor, Miss Vista writes us that the high school needs a new bullding and she suggests that we try to influence the Board of Education to| erect one.

Douglas Fairbanks 1's now a film actor capable of garnering $15,000 a week for his services, and we claim a great deal of the o for his suc- cess. Why? Well, listen: ‘Three years ago, when Douglas was acting out on tho regular stage, he stopped us in the lobby of the New York Theatro and sald: “I've got an offer to act in pictures, Would you take it?” “Sure!” we replied. And he did.
