It did the work. We de- feated him easily. EVA TANGUAY ENGAGED. Eva Tanguay has been signed up for a tour of the Shubert vaudeville houses, beginning in Newark next week. / A SUNKEN DRUMMER’S WOE. Since Ed Wynn put his orchestra at the Cohan Theatre under the stage in order to accommodate a few more customers, Roy Jones, the drummer, has been ‘booming out a iot of ma- verick booms on the big drum. He hasn't been able to see the perform- ance and he's been pretty mad about it, But all is to be well pretty soon. Inventor Wynn has devised a_peri- scope which will permit the drummer to look at the show and thus the blue booms will be eliminated, GOSSIP.

A LONG STAR. | Blanche Payson of William Fox's Sunshine Comedies is distinguished along two different lines. She is a real film comedienne and is the tallest movie star in captivity. Blanche, who once was a Los Angeles policewoman, stands six feet | three inches in her holeproofs and | weighs in at 225 pounds on the hoof oceanside. [tone says she likes the movies bet- lter than policewomaning because she always craved excitement. So far, no director has given her many orders because they realise she packs a Jack Dempsey wallop in either of her two fis She's kind and gentle, though, they say, as as no one bothers her when she's dining. .
