Be stands out front at theater time and watches his audience file In. "Too many high hats, too many high hats," he mutters. His philosophy Is that a play that draws a high-hat patronage Is doomed to a comparatively short run. "I'd rather see move people from the Bronx," he says. • • • Some Doa't* If yoo are an out-of-towner In New York for a short visit, and hare a limited amount of time to devote to showgoing, here's a tip: Don't buy tickets to the final performance of a big success. When a show has been running for a year or so, the final performance Is, naturally, something that the actors look forward to with pleasure. It means a rest, or, if the show is going on tour, a change of scenery. So the last show Is very likely to be hilarious. If a scene in the play calls for liquor drinking, real liquor may be used. If the show Is a revue, the actors "ad lib" their lines, and sometimes aren't so funny. I attended the last showing of one of the best of the revues the other night, and had a miserable time. The stars' friends were prominently seated down front, and they had a gorgeous time tossing pennies, bursting balloons and talking to the players. It was great fun for them and the cast, but nothing to pay $6.00 a seat for. • • • Fint Nigh tor At a premiere berformance the.other evening a well known man about town, as the plptise goes, arrived under the theater marquee In his town car. He stepped out, and so did his chauffeur. The man about town gave the chauffeur a pair of tickets, and that menial strolled in to see the show. His employer drove the car away. ######< The Right People Famous Men In the electric lights over a playhouse featuring a musical comedy are usually to be found, in addition to the name of the show and the names of its stars, the names of those who wrote It Thus, we may read: "By Kodgers and Hart," or, "Book by Herbert Fields." After whatrfiappened the other day, I wonder if these credits to authors and composers mean anything to the general public. • reporter for a certain newspaper wrote a story about George Gershwin--a story which took it for granted that everyone knows who Gershwin is. The managing editor told the reporter he had taken too much for granted, and the reporter pot Hp an argument • • • • ' k •'•••••'* Such IS Fum - To settle the dispute they agreed to interview the staff on the subject of Gershwin. Reporters, of course, were left out--for these gentlemen are pretty well informed. They asked the telephone operators, the office boys, the artists and the secretaries about Gershwin. Only one in six knew who he was. One telephone operator said: "Sure, I know who be is. He's a violinist." An artist said: "Why, he's a composer. He wrote 'Yes, We Have No Xtananas.'" So It Is my belief that the public doesn't care a hoot about names. It may remember that Jack Donahue is in one show and Fried Stone in another, but it can't be bothered with remembering who else appears, who produced the show, and who wrote It by th« Bell Syndicate, lie.) * Wffl Bars Drinking by Heirs to Fortune Los Angeles.--Abstinence fromjiquor and tobacco is the price the lielrs of the late Francis J.

Her mother was forever saying to her, "You must not go here. You must not go there. You are too pretty." Patsy told herself that only mothers were so fussy. She looked forward to the two weeks when she, alone, would visit her aunt and uncle at their summer cottage by the lake. The v^ry first evening of the visit a good-looking young man came to call on Uncle John. Patsy took one peep at him through the door; and then ran In haste for Aunt Ellen. But Aunt Ellen frowned formidably, shook her head decidedly, said: "Dear me, you must not meet him. You are too pretty. It is very important to introduce young girls to the right people." Patsy began to wonder whether there were any right people at the lake. She had been there two whole days, and she had not yet met a soul. Crestfallen, she snatched a pen, a sheet of paper, and an Ink bottle. "Dearest Mother" she wrote. "Wop't you send for me at once--any excuse that doesn't sound fishy. I cant endure It here a minute longer." While she was sealing the envelope, Aunt Ellen's ample figure appeared in the doorway. "If I were you, I'd take a nap, Patricia. I'm having friends in for bridge this afternoon, and I told Mrs. Warrington to bring along her brother. He's very clever-- working on a book--Just the sort of person I'd like to have you know." "Oh snakes." thought Patsy when her annt had disappeared. "She's trying to palm me ofT on some old, fat, bald-headed, sallow-faced author." As she walked along the cliff above the lake, Patsy looked out across the water and found that the scene was surprisingly pretty. At that particular spot the path hugged the cliff admirably. Some twenty or thirty feet below, an arm of sand reached out Into the lake. "I wish I could climb down there," thought Patsy. The next Instant she spied a tier of steps in a state of semi-decay, clinging to the upper portion of the steep embankment She scrambled safely to the bottom step, slid the rest of the way down the bank, sat cross legged in the sand, and meditated on the splcl- •ness of her little adventure. Presently she was startled by a crackling noise above her. She looked up Just in time to see a bulky figure In a swirl of dust come crashing down the precipice. Patsy sprang to her toes and screamed, and just then an astonishingly handsome young man, the! most, handsome young man,. in fact, that Patsy had ever seen, landed faces .up at her feet ^ He blinked, blushed, fought dusti from his eyes and month, and said:! "I beg your pardon. I seem to have brought the cliff and steps along with| me." Patsy noticed then that the stepsg had given away, that they were norlonger steps at all, but merely a splintered mass of rotten lumber. "Hew on earth shall 1 ever climb back?" she cried. "I know," apologized the young; man, "l really ought to be shot I've! let you in for a five-mile hike. The bank is practically unscalable all the way to Golden Beach," he added. It was the shortest and by far the most thrilling five mfltes that Patsy ever walked. Richard Cruse--he told her his name in the beginning--proved to -be a paragon of all things charming. Patsy found her way back to Aunt Ellen's cottagAn a maze of delightful memories. Two thoughts struggled for, supremacy: Would she ever see Richard Cruse again? What would Aunt Ellen say? Her heart fluttered with fear. Then, for the first time, she remembered that she had not mailed the letter to her mother. No time for that now, though, she thought, as she slipped Into the house. Patsy's face fairly bloomed that afternoon. For once, she pepped into her mirror with pride. She.thought foolish things about Richard Cruse and said to herself: "I wish be could see me now Instead of--" "Come, Patsy," called Aunt Ellen, and Patsy went obediently into the living room. And there, by the door, stood Richard Cruse, and Aunt Ellen was not frowning but smiling. Everything went wobbly before Patsy's eyes, even Richard Cruse. But Aunt Ellen's voice rang out bell like, clear: "Patricia, this is Mr. ' Cruse. Perhaps he will tell you about the book that he is writing." That evening Patricia began another letter. "Dearest Mother:--This is a Jieavenly place. I have met the most thriliing young author. He asked me to play golf--" "No," she said to herself, "that will never do," and tore the paper intof scraps. She selected a fresh sheet and this time wrote: "Dearest Mother I'll is pleasant by the lake, although Aunt Ellen is very, very strict. She Insists on my meeting only the right people, but I admire her greatly." "Now," said I'atsy to herself, "maybe I can stay a month. I'd like to stay a year.'* " (Copyright.)
