i , Out In Lovely California.
C&rtsslma Jce (Whatever that la')
, Well. Joe. hero I am prowlln" around
In no less than the stato which kept
manys tnc mowe nctor out or the poor
houts and likewise kept Charles U
Hughes out of the White Houso. Uy
the latter. Joe, I'm epeakln to tho fact
tHat California waa tho final state to
ratify Wilson at the last election we had
tJ Bee who would be the victim of the
pranks of Congress for a period of four
years. But leavln' politics to the one
Biae, joe, tnis in a wonacrtui country
out here and tho "native Is as friendly
as If they was all runnln' for nldcrmun
8,nd not like In Now York, where If )ou
ask a strange guy what tlmo It Is or the
etc.. he will say In a coldly oloo,
"Search mr, I'm a stranger around here
myself" and contlnuo on his way
Mo and Jeanne Is only gonna be here
for a brief stay, or In the other words.
Just Ions cnourjh, to mako a few heart
renderln' sconei for our first moln"
picture, the title of which la called
''Heaven's Aboe!" llko I told you In
one of my many last letters. After that,
KJoe, wo are goln' down to Havana or
one of them other So, African Joint
and enjoy tho pleasures of a acatlon I
can't tell jou the exact post otllce ad
dress where we are Koln" as yet, Joe,
becnttaa naturally .hat part of It Is up
to our maid and we ain't had a chance
to talk It over with her so far.
Well, I will certainly be glad when
nreyoplanes gets to bo moro reasonably
In price and I will bo one or the first to
buy, so'h that when I got another one
of them long distance trips to mako
toot sweet I will not have to go uy way
of no railroad and there s that
squandered away the best part
W0
of a
Week cettln out here. Jce. and I nafl
po Idea America waa so large, on account
at the Mntlnnnl Ttimirt pndln' at St
Looey. If Columbus really found all o
thla In 1880 or whatever the exact daie
was, I am forced to say that aa a dis
coverer this guy waa bcaucoup. I'll bet
lie could of even discovered why China
ihould ho wIldlyTn love with the League
of Nations, hey, Joo?
But at that they la nothln' like travel
to improvo tho mind and strengthen tho
education. For Instance, on account of
us Americans goln' across whilst the war
waa beln' had, joe, the uermana lounu
out moro about the U S. than they ever
would of got out of any books and the
etc'and I bet that the kaiser has wished
manys the time he had read up on what
wo done In 1776, 1812 and 1898. Instcnd
of wllln' away the time ngurln" how
many Germans had took up life in
America durin' a given period of ten
years, hey? And on tho othor hands,
Joe, the trip done us Americans a lotta
good likewise For the example let us
take, l. manys the doughboy and
leather-neck had the Idea they waa at
the least aa many words In tho Ger
man's language as they Is In ours Well,
you can seo at the glanco how ridiculous
that turned out to be. Instead of a
coupla million nouns, eros, ndjectlcs
Tind the like, we made the sensational
discovery that the German's language
consisted of only one word and that
waa "Kamerad ' ' which I spoke with
both arms extended upwards and I trust
tho college professors will see this and
not go on teachln' "Outen morgan mine
herrln'l" and the etc. which turned out
to be of no use to us durin' tho time
we was the Germans' guests at war.
"Wei, Joo by the second day of the
voyage I have talked over every subject
In the world with Jeanne and like Wil
son and Congress we agreed on nothln'
and I have read the timetable over 'til
at the drop of the hats I could rise and
Ring It. not that nobody asked me to
Well, I went out to the smokln' room
of this Pullman's car which was named
by the guv which has .'harge of
cnrlstenln' all the apartment houses, ho
tels, ocean's liners and collars, it beln'
called the "Ordopolts" or words to that
effect and they was four guys slttln'

lied themselves sick Joe. the ground
and lofty lies which Is gave birth to In
the: smokln' room of a train or a ship
would mako Annie N'las ntem like George
Washington. I don't know what does
l It, but it seems that the minute a nor
mally truthful voter lays back in thm

slttln' opposite, h immediately begins
to reel off adventures ho has partaken
of and etc., which if thev wns only one

Into the fresh air he becomes honestly
and trustworthy again but whilst he's
In that smokln' room I'll say he swings
a mean tongue '
Joe, these four habls which has no
doubt run a dead hent for the chatter
champlonehlp of the world, looks up at
me klnda hoppful when I darken the
threshold with mv presence because
here w'as some new material to work on
and the euy I sit nxt to U determined

"Well I savs. "i giies Kearys marw

"Ha, ha'' he sas 'That's cood '"
He looka me up and down with the

He gimme another careful inspection

"I ain't trvln' to' I admits and de

one. "Say cuii you Imagine tjils wholo

"You don't havo to bother with Imag

The fourth guy which is hlttln' In a
corner nnd aln t said a word up to thus
ar. yanks out a card and a pencil.

myself onenln' a still In my own home
and besides I've tried that stuff and It'a
rotten.
Well, Joe, then this Hawkins guy looks
all around the car kin da mysterious and
winks at in one and all and says would
anybodv like a slight swaller Llckln'
of lips become general and when Haw
kins pulls out a flask from hit hip pocket
you could hear thetn guys' thirsts bcatln'
like a torn torn. Even the silent guy in
the corner flicked a mean eyelash, Joe.
Well, the flask waa passed around whilst
Howklns says it's only a pint and he
hadda nav six berries for It. wherean In
the old days before we become a desert
six dollars' worth of boozo would be
enough to flout a yacht In, Ho hands the
flask .of this hero forbidden fruit to the
first guy and says to hurry up and kill
one quick before the conductor cornea In
or he's liable to get pinched and gave
about 42 years for boln' found with the
demon's rum on him. From the longln'
look on this other baby's face, Joe, you
could see that they was little or no need
to tell him to hurry and get that drink,
It took about a eighth of a second to
hand him the flask, yet he nearly died of
Impatience
"Well, hero's n go '" he says and the
next second he has leaped a coupla feet
In the air and is coughln' and splutterln"
all over the placo "Wow 1" ho chokes
out "What the Hey. what Is that stuff
ammonla7"
"Its very high proof must be all or
no."
"It's very high proof must bo all of
HO." says the proud owner, whilst the
next guy is goln' astray "Of course,
what nu get nowadays ain't up to the
old stuff. You're In luck If you can get
nnythlrw sneaked to you at all. I sup
pose maybe there Is some pruno Juice
In It for colorln'."
"Prune Juice, hey?" says tho second
guy handln' back the flask with hla faco
all screwed up In a knot. "They may
have started It off with pruno Juice, but
that ain't half of It. I know now why
they call It bootleg llckcr It's because
Its proo ly made outa castaway boots.

, Tht 11ak m handed to the nulet iruv
in the corner which took a whiff of It
first, let forth a slcn nnd tied In. After
what seemed llko a week ho come up
for nlr. Joe. ho was gaspln' for his
breath like a fresh caught flounder, his
eyes was rollln' around klnda wild and
his face was as red aa a four-alarm
fire. Ho tried about flvo times to say
somethin', but thoy waa nothln' atlrrln',
I commenced to get klnda alarmed, Joe,
because thla guy acted like he had Just
quaffed off n swallow or carbollo and
I was thlnktn" I would no doubt be held
as a witness, when fln'ly ho hands mo
over the flask
"Whoosh '" ho pants, shakln' his head
klnda dazed. That's tho best whisky
I ever tasted !"
If this Hawkins guy sent In six bucks
for that pint of pari green ho paid
about GO cents a drink for It. hadda
humiliate himself and act like a hop
head tryln' to get dope when he bought
it and with each swaller he took about
24 hours off his life And yet them guys
which simply got to have It, think they're
puttln' somethin' over Well, they are,
Joe, on themselves'
Before leavin' the smoker, Joe, I stop
ped beside the seat of the quiet guy
which was all by himself In a corner
nnd still lookln' like he was in a trance
from that drink he took Ha was
mumblln' to himself and I felt klnda
worried about him
"Are you a travellln salesman, too?"
I savs,
"Heh oh, sure '" he savs. with a
klnda wild look In his eye. "Oh my yes.
AbBotlvely' I cover Arizona. Colorado
and Wyoming Oh es'"
"What arc you sellln'? ' I saya.
"Lighthouses '" ho snarls
With that I beat It, Joe.

THE PLAYGOER'S
WEEKLY TALK
EAHLX, oh, very early, as to time,
and frivolous aa to character, the
theatrical season of 1920-21 will get
under way on Mondny when flvo of the
downtown houses will open. Tho Or
pheum In Germantown nnd Dumont's
will also be In line. Of the neighborhood
houses, most cither ran all summer or
opened earlier this month, as did the
Casino, People's, Bijou and Trocndero
of the burlesque houses. Keith's, of
course, la a year-around institution.
Thrco of the shows will be musical
the revived "Florodoro" (Shubert). Her
bert's new operetta, "Tho Girl In the
Spotlight" (Forrest), and "Mary" re
turning (Garrlck). The plavs will be
llht In tcxturo. "Bah." a comedy drawn
from Mrs Rinehart's Saturday Evening
Post stories (Broad), nnd "Th Girl in
theLlmouslne" (Adelphl), by Hopwood
nnd Colllnson, authors of other success
ful farces.
Plavgoers who were worried last sea
son at the prospect of a diminution of
tho city's already scanty list of flrst
claBS houses on account of the sale of
the Broad to motion-picture Interests
and tho demolition of the Forrest to
make way for a big office building, can
reat assured for this year at least Both
houses nre carrying on as usual, as the
trust company which owns the Broad
and Wrnlnut site has postponed Its build
ing, and an arrangement hns been made
that continues the Broad as a "legit"
playhouse. The Walnut, under the direc
tion of Messrs. Beury and Wnnamaker,
will shortly Join the ranks, as renova
tion of the oldest theatre in America la
proceeding apace.
The historic Academy of Music, too,
will, under the new management, estab
lished as the result of the energetic and
civic-minded endeavors of Edward W.
Bok nnd his associates, be much In the
public eye aa a place of entertainment
Primarily it will bo the local art center
for opera and concert nnd the permanent
home of the Philadelphia Orchestra, but
the new regime Is by no means "high
brow." and the house will be leased for
"quality" theatrical and other entertain
ment, such ns "Humoresque." the moving
and admirably filmed picture which
starts the season there today
FOR the benefit of the first-nighters
of 1300, who were whl'tllng the popu
lar "Florodora" tunes, nnd also for tlie
guidance of present-day flrst-nlghters,
who after Mondav will likely enough be
tinging and whistling the hits of this re
vived musical comedy, are reproduced
here excerpts from th lvrlcs The fa
vorite tunes were "Tell Me, Pretty

OLD NAME?
"discovered" Miss Hayes two ycsr ajro
when ho "borrowed" her to appear as
tho dream Klrl with William Gillette In
'Ilarrlo'a "Dear JJrutus." Last reason
she Wns the adolescent Cora Wheeler In
TarklnBton'B comedy, "Clnrchco," and
she wns taken from that play to crcato
Ittn finrt nf tl.ih. .
In noston Miss Hayes was compared
with the Maudo Adams of "Tho Llttlo
Mlnlrter ' of 18P5. Tho role miss llayes
plays Is that of a young girl noventcen
years of nge, who fancies herself as
much grown up as her sister, a debu
tante. Sprightly ndventures result, and
thoro Is full opportunity for tho expres
sion of a romantio temperament,

In which ho mado such a hit In "Marv"
hero last spring. Ho will bo welcomed

musical comedy returns Monday, Tho
lure of the motion pictures had enticed
him nnd he had Just finished In a photo
play with Viola Dona nnd was at work
with Taylor Holmes in ills now photo

Ho was
playing plnochlo with Lou Hlrsch, com-1
poser of "Mary's" music, when tho latter ,
told him that no Know or a part that

McGowan, relating his experiences, "tho

Girl In tho Spotlight," nlso had somo

it may no mentionea mat the e tiers or
this young man Intended him for tho i
pulpit. Thnt was In Davenport, In., In i
the days of the revivals. Hal liked tho
theatre moro than tho church, however,
and ns often as he could got "'tho price"
ho was counted "among thoso present"
In the gallery. Ho won famo among his
boy friends ns an Imitator of thoso
noted to tho stage who passed through
Davenport. Ills yearning for tho ntnge
caused him to run away and Join a cir
cus. In this life ho rapidly picked up
ncrobatlc training, became a clown be
sides doing old Jobs under the tent
With this start ho gained entrance to
vaudeville nnd Inter to musical comedy,
and todny Is ono of tho best-known
comedians nnd eccentric dancers en tho
stage.
MYT IS strange," says Avery Hopwood,
co-nuthor with Wilson Colllson of
"The Girl In the Limousine," "that few
persons aro satisfied with their own par
ticular careers nnd the line of work they
havo chosen or been forced Into. Some
other fellow's Job always appeals to them
moro. I am no exception to tho rule."
Mr. Hopwood Is a young man. Ho
gives his age ns being between thirty
nnd thlrty-slx years. Ho hns mado n
fortune from his plays of tho light nnd
frivolous type: still ho wnnts to be a
novelist nnd wrlto about serious prob
lems of life : nnd if not a novelist then
his second cholco is to bo n playwright
dealing with tho same kind of questions.
The author of "Fair nnd Warmer"
and "The Gold Digger" has somo Inter
esting comment on tho American farco.
Ho says:
"In Fronch farco thn rhnrnetorn tnnv
step beyond the lines of discretion, but.
tivi. bu iicut. uur punuinicni Anglo
Saxon nnturo won't stand for It. Tho
other characters in the American farco
may know that their companions havo
dono wrong, but tho audience must know
that they nre entirely innocent. So It
Is moro ,dl(Tcult to wrlto for home con
sumption than for Gnlllc tastes.
"If a line which goes bejond tho pale
comes to my mind I renct ngalnst It I
havo never in nil my Hfo written a lino
with tho Intention of giving a imeaky,
dirty laugh When such tin unintended
Interpretation Is put one one of my lines
by tho audience I nlwnys chnngo It."
