About Plays
and Players
By BIDE DUDLEY

LD play bills often ai very in-
terestlng. In a package of
'iiiom nint us bv Martin J.
j
Dixon, r.ir years manager of tho
Jrhlrd' . onue Theatre, la one an
"tiounclng Hal Reld's play, "A Work
1ng Girl's Wrongs," which, accord
ing to the, bill, showed "the downfall
.fif' villainy and the triumph of houest
jliibor." Guns and knives are used
in the play, and one lino In the nd
ivertlslng reads: "Sea the boy who Is
y?alnln' U meet McGovern." Then
'.tjiere Is a lino quoted from the dia
logue and classed as "one of tho best
lines from this beautiful story of real
life." It tf:
"Yes, there Is a diamond upon
your finger. Jack lias none except
upon a hot day when ho Is at work;
they are upon bis brow llko a diadem
diamonds of honest sweat, the gem
n'f labor which, when they are (spent
for the woman he loves, fall Into tho
flowers of her heart and sparklo there
as pure and bright as a drop of dew
In the heart of a roso."
X picture of a scene In Act 1 shows
the villain knqeked down by "tho
lioncst arm of a worklngman" and
there Is another picture showing tho
midnight murder. Them wus tho
good old days.
NUTT8 DOPE.
. - Jefferson Shrewsbury Nutt writes us
from nogosh, O., to suggest that "u
leal story" ought to bo written about
Police Commissioner Enrlght's book of
Don'ts. His suggestions follow:
'"Dead Dud I and tho wife believe
her and me could get a lot more out
of Commissioner Enrlght than hns
Iron printed about that Don't book of
his. Can you Imagine what would
happen If I and her stepped Into his
office und I nays: 'Well, Commission
cr, I Just pursued your Don't book.
It's all right, but what about the crime
.rn.vc? He'd probably hesitate, and I'd
say right quickly: 'And how about the
ti'Jne pontoon system?' When he got
through talking Jessica could smile
and stop up. She'd say: 'What about
Hie broken hearts, Commissioner? Got
.itny Don't to heal them up?' Then,
If you 'had tho Police Band there Bhc
could slug her factory girl song, 'Thty.
Jleld Up Fannlo Smith and Took tho
PayRoll.' It has sentiment and never
falls to bring a tear. Oh,vwo could
write a great story, but, by the way,
I need $11. Try to get It to me by
.Wednesday If you can. To-day Mayor
nimble, while talking about n trip to
nurupe, suld: 'I'd give my head for
one.' Blanoy Pitts, who hcord him,
ald: 'Oh, Your Honor, It would cost
, InOn? than one lone,' Much excite
ment but could learn nothing. Jeff."
