LOVE BEARS GIFS
I TO MAGGIE CUNE
FHends Gather With Desire
to Cheer Up Stricken
“Irish Queen.”
r ' ■
6ge< i*l Dispatch to The Star.
RED BANK, N. J., January 24.
Many friends of Maggie Cline, the
old-time music hall favorite, today
made the pilgrimage from New York
ctty to this little town, the homo of
the "Irish queen."
They are friends from both sides of
the footlights, lured to Red Bank by
Hews of the serious lllnCfcs of their
termer idol. Inspired with the hope
of being able to drop a word of en
couragement to the warm-hearted
olnger who made “Throw Him Down,
McClusky’’ a tune whistled from coast
to coast three decades ago.
They arrived bearing gifts, flowers
enough for a prima donna, or for one
of “our Maggie’s” former opening
nights, fruit enough to stock a fruit
store, gifts enough to give any gift
Shop a rousing start.
They did the thing after the ap
proved manner of Maggie herself,
and were disappointed and filled with
foreboding because entrance to the
sick room was denied. It had not
seemed possible to them, back in New
York, that the “Irish Queen.” she of
the resplendent emerald gown and
glorious laugh, could have been
brought so low.
Greeted by Anxious Faces.
Vntil they saw the anxious faces,
heard the hushed voices of the mem
bers of the household, theee pilgrims
•were half convinced the desperate Ill
ness was only a wild rumor which
Maggie’s beaming face and splendid
■wit would dispel.
' “They haven’t Maggie s art now
adays ” said a white-haired man,
pausing on the steps of Maggie s
home to wipe his eyes. nor her
heart, either as ready with her
purse as she was with her. to "f ue ’
They don’t make comedians like Mag
ale Cline any more."
In away, he was right. The great
of Maggie Cline lay
not'so much in her voice, though
that was good enough; nor ln
looks, which were more than good
enough—but in her Instinctive
knowledge of the psychology of an
audience. It lay, in short, in the
warm personal bond between the au
dience and herself. Each patron felt
that Maggie was singing more for
him than for the rest. There was
something so personal in her »P a rkle.
In her comic glance. In the roguish
gesture emphasizing a phrase that
you felt friends with her at once.
There was nothing “up-stage about
Maggie Cline.
Adda “Personal Touch.”
Another feature which served to
add the personal touch to the rela
tions between Maggie and her au
dience was the good old-fashioued
gallery she cultivated.
“Hullo, Maggie’.” the gallery would
roar as one man when its buxom star
flashed out from the wings.
“Hullo, boys!” Maggie would re-
BP “Hey, where d’ya get the hat?” a
dirtv- faced youngster wou.d yell.
••Take It off. take it off. . .
“Say, that hat coat me * 4 °—
Is the matter with it. Maggie
would counter to the roars of the
it’s fierce; take it off.” the
youngster would com© back, ana on
It would come. ..... —. „
In the days when Lillian Russell
was famous Marie Dressier and May
Irwin equally so. Maggie Cline was at
ber Uevday, It was a long and bril
liant career. For over thirty years
Maggie was a favorite. Her glory
was at its topmost height in the years
when she appeared at Tony Pastor s,
next to Tammany Hall, on 14th street,
or at Miner’s Old Bowery, recently
damaged by fire, on vaudeville bills
■with Harrigran and Hart, eber and
Welds, AVard and Yokes or Sam Ber
nard.
* “Aa Irish as Paddy's Pig."
Though bom in Portland, Me.. Mag
gie always characterized herself as
ad “Irish as Paddy’s pig.” Girlhood
davs spent in Haverhill, Mass., were
responsible for the taming of her
most famous song. John W. Kelly,
who wrote it and came round to
Maggie to sell it for $2 to treat the
boys, had called his hero McGinty.
But Maggie remembered one Mc-
Clusky of Haverhill, “an ould tarrier
that It took four cops to hould whin
he be on a spree.” so she held out for
McClusky, and McClusky the hero be
came.
Eor the phenomenal popularity of
the song Maggie had no explanation
other than that “every one loves a
fl»ht.” The song threw' the entire
nation into spasms of mirth, and it
Is on Maggie's word we have it that
there was only one Irishman who
didn’t like the ditty. That was Mag
gie’s father. He didn’t think it lady
like.
■r s Other Songs Made Famous.
/"Mary Ann Kelrne” was another
sung that Maggie Cline made famous.
Ko was “Will Tor Be Aisy”; “Come
Down, Mrs. Flynn”: “Still His
Whiskers Grew”; “The Mick That
'Hirew the Brick," and “Nothin’s Too
Good for the Irish." Theatergoers of
a former generation still talk of her
nidging "The Mick” in Tony Pastor’s
during the Christmas season, wearing
Sf blue gown, w ith a bouquet of holly
apd mistletoe.
This town of Red Bank, where she
!■ a pioneer resident, adores her. The
v place is full of her legends based on
her Irresistible laugh and her quiet
but unremitting charity. All residents
are hoping against hope and praying
for her recovery.

Guard Against “Flu”
With Musterole
Influenza, Grippe and Pneumonia
usually start with a cold. The moment
you get those warning aches, get busy
with good old Musterole.
Musterole is a counter-irritant that
relieves congestion (which is what a
cold really is) and stimulates circulation.
It has all the good qualities of the
old-fashioned mustard plaster without
the blister.
Just rub it on with your finger-tips.
First you feel a warm tingle as the
healing ointment penetrates the pores,
then a soothing, cooling sensation and
quirk relief.
Have Musterole handy for emergency
use. It may prevent serious illness.
33c and 65e, in jars and tubes.
Better than a mustard platter
to hide skin trouble
Resinol
aids poor complexions
If your complexion is rough, red, or
pimply, don’t try to cover up the de
fects with cosmetics which do not con
ceal, but usually attract attention to the
reason for their use. Begin today to
clear your skin with Resinol Ointment
and Resinol Soap.
This treatment not only cleanses the
skin and enables it to breathe, but
usually removes blotches, redness and
roughness.

Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With
Many soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much free alkali,
I which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brit

The best thing to use is Mulsl

Is pure and entirely greaseless. It
is very cheap and beats anything
else all to pieces. You can get
Mulslfled at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last the whole
family fpr months.
Two or three teaspoonfuls of
Mulslfled in a cup or glass with a
little warm water is all that is re
quired. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub the Mulslfled
cocoanut oil In. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
‘ cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to
manage. Besides, It loosens and
takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandruff. Be sure your
druggist gives you Mulslfled.—Ad
