} | | RR REET NE | ————— The Evening World Comics Prison guards found and destroyed a still at Sing Sing yesterday.—Newe Item. When they sent me up to Sing Sing, Gosh, | really didn’t care, For I knowed the boys were happy, Havin’ lots o’ fun up there. They had movies, music, ball : games, An’ by knowin’ how to wink At the proper feller boarder One could get a little drink. Oh, ‘twus jolly up at Sing Sing, But it ain’t that way no more; Now I’m longin’ for the freedom That I hated so before. When my term is up, I’m quittin’; I'll go straight—you bet I will— For there ain't no joy in Sing Sing Since they've busted up the still. \ OBSERVATIONS. Yesterday was the birthday of three noted institutions—the Nation. Vice President Coolidge and George M. Cohan. The Coatsville, Pa, Country Club wants blacksnakes for its golf course, Evidently the course has no 19th hole, A Philadelphia girl went bathing a la September Morn in a park lake Sunday and we have it from the North American she was barely 18. A seaplane, forced to land near Portland, had 200 quarts of whiskey aboard. Now every farmer in Maine inspects his Jand daily for disabled seaplanes. THELMA THE VAMP. ould anything be sweeter than a uetie malden's blush ?'—Bkoptosch Thelma looked at a calendar and found it was 6 o'clock. Her watch was downstairs on the piano, so she did not know it was the Fourth of July. Selecting her New Zealand Zinkbunk hat, se went out onto the street fearlessly. A little dog came along. “Bow-wow!" sald Thelma play- fully. “Hey, that’s my dog!” A dark man hed spoken with e mus- tache. It frightened the bashful girl from Kitchikik. Turning, she rushed into the delicatessen. The proprietor stroked his whiskers. “Hello!” said Thelma, thinking to reassure him. “I know you,” he retorted. “You are the woman who was arrested last week for saooting eraps. I read it in the news- paper.” “But,” protested Thelma, “it ‘was not I, I do not possess a gun.” The delicatessen man paced behind the counter thoughtfully. Tn his youth he had been a cai toonist, but he had bet all his money on a race horse, “1 will draw your picture,” be said. “Wait” Yt came from a man tm the doorway. He wore a hat and carried a rope. “Are you @ ruffian?” @elicatessen man sweetly. “No, but I have a hard name,” snapped the newcomer jocosely. ‘Thelma pointed one finger at ked the J. SHUBERT reached New York yesterday from Europe, where he * went on a combined business and Pleasure trip about eight weeks ago. Mr. Shubert visited England, Ger- many, Austria, Cyecho-Slovakia, Hun- gery, Italy, Switzerland, France and Belgium. He was accompanied by Leonard Blumberg, general manger of the Shubert interests in Philadelphia. Mr. Shubert acquired the rights to many plays and musical pieces but he was too busy last night to list them He will make a statement concerning these acquisitions in a few days. THEATRES DO WELL. Yesterday was a good day for the theatres. The cool, cloudy weather kept thousands of people from the Reaches and many of these sought antertainmest at the playhouses. Those attractions which had matinees id well, but they were few. As a rule, it is taking too much of a chance oe the weather to have special mat- nee performance in New York on the Fourth of July. i MUSIC WITH “THE CAT.” Kilbourn Gordon has arranged to Reve music with "The Cat and the Tanary.” This merely means that ‘Appropriate selections are played by “heodore Bendix and ‘his assistants when certain situations appear in the play, The tunes are supposed to soothe the nerves of thore who squirm when the villain und the voodoo wom QB are getting in thelr work. For the Good Evening! By BIDE DUDLEY him. “I know you,” she said. “It 1s @ hard name indeed. You ere Fred Stone.” A dark cloud appeared fn the sky, but it was pandemonium that reigned. (To Be Continued.) POEMS OF PREFERENC! Tessie, of Wali Street, seems to have been overlooked by Cupid and she has asked us to take her order for a husband. We expect to find Tess a nice one and quickly, too, for who could resist her rhyme, if he were eligible? Look at it: IT want a man who's six feet tall And pretty as they make 'em. The lade like thia all seem asleep. Won't some one kindly wake 'em And tell 'em I am waiting here To wed the firat one handy? But I'm no chicken; hurry up! Oh, landy! Landy! Landy! George Fixed It. A Broadway druggist permitted the display of a card, advertising a charity show, in a window of his store recently. A week later he said to his negro porter: “George, that charity show hay been held.” He supposed George would take the hint and remove the card, but he didn't. Next day the druggist no- ticed the card still there. “George, there's that card,” he 'Yessah,” replied the porter, “but Ah fixed it so’s it won't fool nobody.” At the bottom of the card he had written: “All over now.” The Cat Came Back. Joseph Feline has returned from Nebraska ‘and will resume living here.—Osage (N. J.) ‘Times. A Nice Girl. A careless young woman named Gale Once picked up @ dog by the tail. Said ahe: “Do not fear, You shan't fall, little dear. Oh, trust me, sweet pup, and don't wail.” A Woman's Way. A Harlem man told his wife a joke recently. “Mary,” he said, “lis- ten to this—One man says to an- other: ‘The theatre caught fire last night.’ The other asks: ‘Did they wave anything? ‘Yes,’ replied the first, ‘they carried out the pro- gramme. Freiy good, 6h?” Mary said it was sfmply fine. The next day she tried the story on her grocer. “Mr. Blank,” she sald, “here's a new joke for you—One man says: ‘The theatre caught fire last night.’ Another asks: ‘Did they save any- thing?’ ‘Yes,’ replies the first man, ‘they went on with the programme and finished it. ‘The grocer laughed heartily. The lady is one of his best customers.

When Irving Berlin stepped off the Majestic, the same being a steamship, yesterday he was met by a young man with 4 roll of paper in his hand. Irving started back. Just about that time, however, he saw Sam H. Harris and Paul Block oa ¢he pler, and they assured him everything was O. K. ‘The paper proved to be a “welcome home’ affair from his friends at the Harris offices and the music box. The welcome ended with “Irving, proudly indeed we call you friend.” Irving replied with a nice tittle speech which he had prepared for just such an occasion. He said “Thanks !""
