Lee Shubert is quoted as saying ‘there is sufficient vacant ground ad- foining the Shubert theatres to pro- @uce enough food to feed the mem- ‘bers of the Shubert theatrical organ- feations, thus taking a load off the usual avenues of supply. The story seom rather absurd to you, tie reader, but the Messrs Shu- assert they have grounds for it. a. - lig a He Doesn't Know Much About Machinery, Anyway! BILL SMITHERS, BORE! Bit Smithers was an awful bore. Me always had a story that you had eften heard before, yet he was in his Slory when holding you as audience ‘until he'd made you hear it. You'd think the man reft of sense, or dangerously near tt. You couldn't get @way from him. You might be tn a burry, yet Bill would gratify his whim | ‘while you would scowl and worry. | And when he finished Bill would say: “How ‘bout it? Ain't It nifty?’ It} ably came out in May ‘way back | in 1850. One day Bill met a wilful man. Alas, poor story teller! The victim frowned and soon began to hit him tn the smeiler. Poor Iiill waa out when he got through applying blows @nd curses. But for two weeks [il! told it to the doctor and the nurses. A CHANGE IN “LILAC TIME.” Jane Cow! has decided to do away With the heartbreaking ending of her , “Lilac Time,” now at the Eltin, eatre, Instead of having the girl's Jover killed in the war, she will have him return wounded. The change will into effect to-night. When “Lilac ‘ime” was produced it was suggested by some of the critics that it might be more satisfying to the audience to have the man return. After thinking the matter over for several months, Miss Cow! has come to the conclusion that maybe the critics were right. Bince she wrote the play herself, in collaboration with Jane Murfn, she — found no obstacle in the way of the NY change. DES ONE UNLUCKY BIRO! WHY wae Ges. a cael —- , THE FRIARS’ FROLIC.
