H Raymond Hitchcock, star in Henry W. Sav
Kage's production of the comic opera, "The Yankee
Consul," was some years since connected with a
B'troupe" which had a rather precarious existence
HHmd it moved from place to place sometimes with
jjHjthc trunks of the members of the company as
Hpecurity for payment All the leading actors of
Rhe American stage have had similar experiences
KDd Hitchcock delights to tell of those days, and
in this connection he has one story worth the re
peating. "It was in a little town in Connecticut,
Jewett City, I think," Hitchcock, "where the hotel
proprietor had little use for anyone save him
self, and of all persons who came to his hotel
actors were the least thought of. I went in there
on the day of our arrival," says the comedian,
"and announced my intention of remaining over
night 'What are your rates?' was my salutory.
'Two dollars and a half up, was the answer. 'But
What is your business What line do you sell?'
Drawing myself up to my full height, and this
was In the days when I first aspired to become a
comedian, I announced, 1 am an actor.' 'Oh,' said
tho host, 'an actor, eh! Well, we have a special
rkte for actors.' That sounded good to be bo
cause I wag' short of real, tried and proven good
money, and I asked him, 'What is the rate?'
'Three dollars down,' he answered, and at that I
spent the'iiignf there "
t
The eight little jockies in "The Runaways"
company were in great distress one night last
week just before the performance. Their great
est pride Is in the neat little jockey trousers which
they wear in the racing scene, and it was discpv
ered just at the time to dress that their trousers
had not returned from the cleaners, and as it
would have been a little unconventional to appear
in skirts everybody concerned was anxious. By
holding the curtain a few minutes and sending a
hurry-up call to the clean ng establishment the
difficulty was surmounted and the raoing scene
was Saved.
