The handsome costumes used In Montgomery
and Stone's production, "Chln-Chln," wcro
designed In London by Carl Wllhelm, who
ranks as one of England's two greatest living
originators of stngo dresses. Apropos of these
designs an amusing story Is told. Immediately
after England and Germany went to war
Charles Dillingham happened to cable his Lon
don agent, "See Wllhelm about sketches." Ot
course, tho dispatch went before tho British
censor nnd was hold up, the censor evidently
scenting Emperor Wllhelm's spies. Mr. Dilling
ham's agent was ordered to the War Ofllco,
where he was put through a rigorous third
degree examination. Even then tho censor was
not satisfied. So Wllhelm himself was sent for
and was obliged to submit the sketches them
selves for tho autocrat's Inspection. Finally the
package of suspected sketches was scaled by
the War Office and forwarded to Mr. Dilling
ham in New York, In the caro'of the British
Consul.

he prefers to play character parts. "There are
plenty of good leading men," ho avers; "the
field for character acting Is wide."
George W. Monroo, the chief comedian of
"The Passing Show of 1911," was long an In
timate friend of the late Mark Twain. Mr.
Monroe's summer homo In Connecticut was
close by that of the famous humorist. "Lying,"
Bnid Mark Twain to George Monroo one day, "la
n noblo accomplishment, and It should be en
couraged. When we hear a good Ho, we should
repeat It. giving to the author the praise that
Is his due. There Is a good prevaricator In
Florence, Italy. His name Is Pletro. To lnclto
Pletro to one of his loftiest flights, I said to
him one day: 'Did you hear, Pietro, of tho
fish that lived on frost?' 'No,' said he. 'Well,
this flsh,' I explained, 'haunts the Maine
coasts. It comes nshore every morning before
tho sun has melted tho frost, nnd from tho
rockB and trco trunks nnd grass blades It
scrapes with Its blunt teeth enough of this
cold food to last It for the day. It can never
be caught In the water, for the reason that It
will not rise to bait. Sometimes, though, men
catchvlt ashore with their hands. Its flesh Is
considered a delicacy and brings 52.25 a pound.'
rietro sneered. 'Now I will tell you,' ho said,
'about my uncle's mule. My uncle kept this
mule In a wooden stable and he fed It on pop
corn. One day the stable took fire, nnd tho
popcorn in the mule's stall, shooting up Into
tho air. descended all nbout the unfortunate
animal In soft, whlto flakes. These flakes the
mulo mistook for snow. He Imagined he was
In a snowstorm and froze to doath,' "
