Put me once more across Dad's bended knee, Make me yell “Stop;” make me yell lustily, Please, Father Time, bring those good old days back, Ligek me again, Daddy; give me a whack! 1 was a rascal at times, | admit; Often I found it quite painful to sit; Often I moped in the barn, in the hay, Scheming to leave home by run- ning away, But all my punishments soon | forgot, Buch things don’t live in a healthy boy’s lot; Wd take them all if old Time would turn back, Lick me again, Daddy; give me a whack! OBSERVATIONS. One can never have too many small tables in one’s home. Women seldom whistle, but when they do it’s something awful. Well, anyway, Tut Jackson can , have a lot of fun in New York seeing the Aquarium and other sights. “Pepper is sure of coal peace with- tm two days,” says a newspaper head- Mine. Now, what does that little Prizefighter know about the coal sit- wation? TAXICAB TESSIE. ‘Teabie tip-toed to the refrig- @rator and, lifting the lid, took & look at the diamonds. There se they lay right next to the but- ter, and how sparkling they were! She longed for the day When she would wear them to the Opening of another Negro show at the 684 Street Music Hall, but it seemed far distant. Clos- . {ng the ice box she turned to the . window and let the shade up. In the street below she saw Her- man, the milkman, and she Imnew it must be near daybreak. “This will never do,” she mut- terad. “Why won't it?” The words were spoken by a man. They came from behind her. Turning nervously she be held Toady Allen, the handsome yess, with a bag of gumdrops. “T've been out shopping,” he said. Tessie was speechless. The UGUSTIN DUNCAN, Director General of the Equity Players, announces that the first play thie organization will offer at the 8th Street Theatre is ‘Malvaloca,” from the Spanish of Serafin and Joaquin Alverez Quintero. And fur- thermore ‘he states that, while no- ‘Rody will be starred, the cast will in- elude Jane Cowl. Miss Cow! is un- fier contract to the Selwyns and it \s througt their courtesy that she will ‘appear in this first Equity produc- tion. At the end of two months she will return to the Selwyns, who will have a new play for her. An Ameri- gan play satitled ‘Hospitality,’ will follow ‘‘Malvaloca."’ It is by Leon Cunningham. An option has been acquired on another American play called *‘Roger Bloomer,"’ by John Howard Lawson, and this one may be the Equity’s third. The runs of all plays put on by this organization Will be limited to twe snoaths each, Ro metter how successful they are. NEXT AT THE PLAYHOUSE. The next attraction at the Play- house will be ‘Dreams for Sale," a mew play by Owen Davis, which Will- fam A. Brady will produce. It will open there on Sept. 13. ‘‘Manhattan,” Mow at the Playhouse, moves to the "Nora Bayes Theatre Monday next, ‘and changes its title to ‘Rast Side, “West Side.” .H. H. FRAZEE’S PLANS. H. H. Frazee intends to pay more sattention to theatricals during the -eoming season than he has ever paid the show business before. To-night he will present William Courtnay in “Her Temporary Husband" at the Frazee Theatre, end within «a few “weeks he will produce @ musical ver- Saign of “My Lady Friends," with « Good Evening ! About Plays and Players DUDLEY LR f POEMS OF PREFERENCE J Ed Gregory steps forward to-day to tell the world what sort of a girl he would marry. This is how he puts it: I'm not very fussy; the girl 1 would wed May have great big feet and be thick in the head, Her hair may be dark, may be au- burn or blonde, Alas, I confess, of the last named I'm fond, But quickly I'll wed any lady who with Just tip me off where her old man keeps the still, I haven't the money to buy my own stuf; Now what little lady will call Ed die’s blug? sight of the gumdrops petrified her. Could they be real? = It seemed impossible. “How do you do?” she finally sald. Gustave, Teasie's cat, purred at her feet. Toady noticed this and frowned. “Put that cat out or I'll slug you with a Jack Johnson,” he said, “What's a Jack Johnson?” asked Tessie. “A blackjack.” Tessie laughed. Toady laughed. The cat seemed to smile but It may have been merely an optical illusion. Tesie wound the clock, “Tick! Tick!” Tt all seemed so absurd. (To Be Continued.) AWFUL YET LAWFUL. What does the gang attempt to sing, When full of gin and everything? “Sweet Adeline!" O'er what does every tenor gloat. And get the average hearer's goat, With every clear falsetto note? “Sweet Adeline!” In that does dear old Grandpa star, While twanging feebly the guitar? “Sweet Adeline!” And now we find our think-tank's dry, We're out of thoughts; we don't know why, Won't some mice reader kindly try To add a line? BILLY KNEW. Walter Winchell met a small boy recently and decided to quiz him a little. “Billy,” said Walter, “can you tell me what a fish net is?” “Sure!” replied the youngster. “It’s a flock of holes tied together with a string.” AND NOW PERMITUS to inform you that Mazle Peebles of Wellsvilie, who weighs 324 pounds, says she intends to stick to the short skirt. The big stick as it were, eh? by Vincent\ Youmans, Then will fol- low a thres-act play by Edward Peple called "The Little Visitor,”’ the scenes of which are laid in Virginia prior to the Civil War. Mr. Frazee has taken over the Arlington Theatre in Boston and will produce new plays there under the stage direction of John Craig.
