We have received the following communication from Jeff Nutt, spe- clal correspondent of this column, who is visiting his wife's people in Cleveland: “Dear Dud: I always used to be- lieve you could raise a lot of pota- toes on a golf course and get the same amount of exercise from it, but { have changed my mind, The rea- son is, yesierday I and the wife went out to @ golf course and I played my first game. Now 1 believe there's a whole lot more exercise in it than there is hoeing potatoes.

Heatley, whose typewriter mistaken, there is a weird state of affairs existing at the Eltinge Thea- tre, where “The Girl in the Limou- sine” is the attraction. Mr, Heatley writes us to say that Doris Kenyon, featured in the cast, thought some- thing was wrong with the bass fiddle in the orchestra and told the fiddle |‘ soraper so. They investigated and found there was a mouse in the fid- dle, All efforts to shake the mouse out have failed and he refuses to be coaxed. We think the little rodent is afraid of the cat-gut in the strings; but, of course, one never can tell. It may be that he belongs to the Ten- ants’ Union and is fighting eviction NEW FIRM WOULD BUILD. ‘Am announcement from Pollok, McKetrick & Burke, producers of the Cobb play, “Boys Wil!
