Thurston's Scrapbooks
Thurston, tho magician, Is unique
among theatrical people Inasmuch as hi
nover stores away newspaper comments
about himself nnd h's work. Thus it in
thoro are no recorda of hlB tour around
tho world or of many of the ovents of
bis earlier career.
But nt Inst part of this lack was sup.
piled recently In a most unusual innn
ner. While Thurston waft playing in
New York ho received a letter which
began a follows:
"Would you caro to havo somo Bcrnp.
books of press notices ot your work that
I hare found In, an old trunk left sonis
years ngo for storage?" Tho letter went
on to tell how tho writer, the keeper of
a theatrical boarding houso. was break.
Ing up to retire to tho country.
Thurston Immediately sent after tlm
books, nnd thov now havo a place In his
library. Tho bobkB woro nrrnnged with
caro nnd the clippings numbered and
dated on the yellowing pages.
