On their way to the hotel through an

No. S.". Tlio crdlct will bo announced
Monday.
Well, It certainly was hind of that
audience out in the Orpheum Theatre,
Ciermantown, to hand the prize for
Llmnin' Lim'rick No. 23 out to Jenkln-
town. Of course, they didn't know
where It was lolng; they simply voted
on the limericks by number, with no
names and addresses to indicate who the
writers were.
The Lim'rick Editor had the time of
his life Wednesday night, when the vot
ing took place.
All week, the four lines about the
suitor who wooed Sister Sue wos dis
played In n frame in the lobby with the
announcement that the audience Wed
nesday would appoint the Judges nnd a
good house gathered to see some of the
Internal workin's of lim'rickin'.
We went out there and met tho house
manager, Frank J. McGlll, nnd he took
us back on the stage to sej tho company
manager, Samuel Miller, who plays tho
part of th sheriff in this week's show.
We talked as politely as we could to
Mr. Miller, but we are afraid that, more
than once, he noticed n lack of attention
on our part.
If so, we apologize, lou see, Mae
Desmond and Llcanor Brent were stand
ing nearbv and. while they were in
sight. Mr. 'Miller hadn't a chance to hold
our nttentlOU noi n cutiuc-i: m iuu
world.
Wo mceested to Mr. Miller thnt Miss
Desmond and 5Iiss Brent be nsked to
serve on the jury.
"If I did." lie said. "The whole
audience would want to rush up on the
stage to take part."
He was light, undoubtedly. So we
reluctantly j lelded. although we felt
that the idea would put us in solid with
the two actresses, and that, of course,
was what we were aiming nt. lou
can't blame us If you've seen them.

Letters from Llm'rlchcrs
From Thomas It. Mooro, COS North

"Plcnso tell me if cognizance is takep
of answers to limericks sent in on
paper when wo cannot obtain a paper
to get tlio coupons from."
(Yes. Wo have hud answers sent in
on every medium under the nn, includ
ing one carefully sewed on a sofa cush
inn cover. Everything is considered.
Only, If you send one on u separate
piece of paper, please try to make It tho
size of our coupon. It is much easier
for us to handle In that form.)
From Joseph Adams:
"As I read the winning answers, I
am satisfied with cucli verdict; it shows
me the failings in iny nuswers. They
were too long ond humorous. A man
said to me, 'Joe; you'd do better In a
humorous-story content.' A friend

contest, as it brings cheer and laughter
to many a household, making mem ns
funny as each can think them. Eveu if
they don't send them in, they enjoy the
pastime."
interested In the limericks published
every night. Am wondering if all the
lines sent in nre read. It seems to mo
there must be thousands of lines sent
in every day. und it seems Impossible
that all could receive attention. The
point is that it would be very discour
aging for one to spend several hours or
Uiorc in figuring n good line and then
after pending it in not to have It rend.
I have sent a lino In every night and am
not criticizing your awards. As far us
1 am concerned, think the winning line
has been better than tho one I sent in.
Am improving, however, nnd think the
Inst few 1 have sent are renl contenders.
However, if vou do not get a chance to
read them n fellow would not have much
chance. If you care to, would appre
ciate, havlug jou adviso me rcgardlug
this."
(Every line sent In is carefully rend
and considered. If you do not eo how
this is possible, get tho limerick editor
on the phone sorio dny and he will tell
you how jou can prove it to your own
