JOHN HENRY II
AT THE THEATRE II
BY HUGH McHtJGH B
(George V. Hobnrt) H
TOU MB. H
I was down on tho card to lead n
lady friend of mine to a Now York
theater where you can roll around In
an orchestra chair at fifty cents a
throw.
When a guy can buy a couple of
ocsy-corners In a dead swell theater
for fifty cents por coze, ho's a mark
to blow four plunks to squeeze Into
ono of thoso joints where they feed
you on problem plays and frlcasscd
pasts.
I figured It out that way, and stood
pat.
That evening finds mo In the pnrlor
ns usual. You know tho parlor I
mean. When a guy reaches that con
dition whoro ho gives himself tho
careful glance and says, "Geo! I got
to got shaved this evening!" you can
bet there's only, ono parlor In tho
world for him.
I'm sitting on the sofa with ono mitt
lying carelessly on tho family album
nnd tho other hunched around a 51.70
cane, when my lady friend IloatB Into
tho nrena.
Thoro's a short-arm clinch, a break
away, nnd wo'ro back In our corners.
"Oh, John Henry!" says my Indy
friend, giving her real hnlr a couplo
of taps and glancing out In tho dining
room to seo If mother was rubbering.
I tell you, boys, It's aces when your
lady friend docs that after a short
clinch. There's nothing to It.
When n girl stamps her foot and
talks with a tobasco lisp and snys,
si, m
MUST QKT A SHAVE FOR TO-NIOHT.
t
"How dnro you kiss mo, sir? You
aro Impertinent, sir!" it's a 30 to 1
shot that Gusslo Gladtop, tho ribbon
clerk, who calls every Tuesday even
ing, first gavo her an excuse for writ
ing that ltberctto.
Anyway, after tho bell rings I says
to my lady friend, "If you'll tease a
trolley with mo, we'll bo on our way
tomorrow night to the theater!"
"Oh, how lovely!" aayB my lady
friend. "I do so lovo to go to tho
theater. Where shall wo go? Oh I
I know! Let's go and seo Sara Bern
hardt! I'm JUBt dying to seo hor!"
Up and away to tho mines! Sarah
Bernhardt at Ave plunks a chair and
mo scratching gravol to get my laun
dry back from forolgn lands of a Sat
urday night!
"I'm just dying to seo Sara!"
Bays tho Sweetest Thing Ever, and I'd
bo a small bunch of parsnips if I
hadn't volunteered In tho llfo-savlng
ecrvlco then and thcro.
"Yes," i Bnys to my lady frlond, "I
thought you'd ltko to seo Bernhardt!"
and all tho time I'm giving this glad
speech I'm going down v.io lino mon
tally to seo who will glvo mo quick
action on a steam-heated touch.
Anyway, nftor a Laborod Conversa
tion with a friend, I'm holped to tho
price next dny, and I patter away for
tho pnstoboards. My lady friend togs
out In hor revelry rags, nnd I'm some
what of a Hlg Evont myself when wo
slldo Into the Gold-Bond building and
reach out for Ton-Dollars' worth of
amusement, hot off tho griddle.
"Morcy mo!" says my lndy friend,
after thu curtain has been up n while,
"what nro thoy talking about? I
can't understand a worn! '
I'm sitting there holding the funornl
ecrvlces over my ton plunks, so I'm
not wlso to whnt'B doing on tho stage.
"What's tho matter?" I says.
"Listen!" Bays Clara Jane.
I listened. In a minute I was noxL
Tho trackwalkers on tho stngo wero
talking Dago! Dago, mind you!
nnd mo Just aftor putting on mourn
ing for my ton plunks!
"Oh! thoy're doing tho trick In
French," I says, off-hand, Just as
though I paid my car-fare In French
every morning.
Say! I don't know onough about
French to And Paris on tho map
honest, that's straight! But I'm think-
.ng of my dear departed ten, so I B
makes tho play! B
"What nro they saying now?" says H
the Proposition In Peaches. H
Right there was where I fell In tho B
"Bon grc dc la tour be eu!" I B
says, handing her tho hottest accent B
thnt was ever turned loose. MB
"Oh, John Henry!" Bays my lady Bmf
friend. "Why, I didn't know you BB
could speak French! How lovely! BH
What does It mean In English?" H
It was up to mo to niako good. B
"It means," I says, "that Sara is B
handing a call-down to tho old guy BH
that looks like a cheeso sandwich. Sho BH
says to him, 'See here! you've got H
another bun on! How dnro you trail BH
Into my flat with your tldo high , H
enough to float a battleship?'" ' H
"That doesn't sound very poctlcpl," H
snys tho Extreme Limit. H
"It Isn't poetical," I says, "but It's H
tho goods, nil right. 'Bon grc,' that's H
French for a bun, and 'do la tour' H
means tlio rest." H
That wns where I caught step with M
my finish. M
I hnd to translnto everything thnt M
was said on tho stage, nnd I couldn't B
oven pronounce the mimo of the plcco H
they were playing. BJ
All I could do was to remember H
somo of tho swell Ianguago I had B
heard at other play joints, nnd I M
rushed them nt my lady friend so fnst M
that sho hadn't time to dccldo that M
I ought to bo on my wny to a foolish, M
house. BJ
When Bernhardt addressed a lot of BJ
French supers I used up a bunch ot H
tlckle-your-fancy lnngungo tiiat May tA
Irwin hands to her rlb-rnckcd audi- VA1
ences, nnd my lndy friend stood for 1L IBs
When Coquelln pushed out his chest BV
nnd Jawed every ono in sight, I threw B
my wholo soul Into tho translation, HVJ
and handed my lady friend a line of BBi
talk that I heard In a burlcsquo at H
"Tho New York." Coquelln mndo an, M
awful hit with my lady friend. It H . M
could havo remembered moro of thoso H
good things Coquolin would havo H
been aces with hor over after. H
Beforo tho first act was over I had H
Sara talking about a Buro cure for H
rheumatism that I rend In nn almanac, H
and I hnd Coquelln reciting tho H
"Chargo ot the Light Brigade." M
It was a hot evening for me! H
Uoforo tho second act was halt H
through I went off my dip. I was
nutty from pit to dome. I had enough BJ
bum French in my topknot to start M
ono of thoso slt-bnck-hold-tlght tabic. M
d'hoto places, with wlno at 40c. a M
It was fierce. M
Hut It was all oft when I put Sara H
Into Mother Gooso. That was tho H
last camol. My lndy friend wouldn't M
stnnd for It when I told hor that Hem-
hardt was saying "Old Mother Hub- VJ
bard, sho went to tho cupboard." Sho jH
thought I wns stringing her. I guoss BJ
I told her thnt tho French had gono M
to my head. Clara Jane said I looked H
palo, and hadn't wo bettor go home;
sho hnd onough. nny wny! BJ
I'll hot sho hnd. I'll bet four dol- H
lars my lady friend had the worst 1 fl
play, bar none, that wns over adapted T H
from the French. That's what sho U
had, and I had such a headacho! 1
After we paddled off homo my lady
frlond said sho didn't exactly under- l
stand tho plot of the play, but sho'd fll
bo glad If I got tho book and read thp BJj
rest ot It to her. BDJ
Mo! off to the woods! Mo! to 11
tho tall timber till she wakes up! No UH
moro glad tidings from tho French IB
for mo. My lady friend is tho Wholo nil
