(Continued from page 16.) with * white cloak as a background. (Black would have been appreciated.) There were three happenings at the Murray Hill Tuesday evening worth no- ticing. Channing Pollock was in the house, intently taking the show in; the "advertising drop" is now doing a "four- high" with Prof. Barker, a physical cul- ture instructor, as the top mounter, al- most destroying the foliage on the garden wall surrounding the "mansion," and Lorenae is using Mr. Gardner's (Gardner and Stoddard) line "I'm the sole survivor of Swamp Root." Sam Scribner, Irad Irwin and Qua Hill stood up to watch the performance, not caring to keep money out of the box office. At 10:60 when the curtain rang down, J. Herbert Mack, the house man- ager, was still counting up the loose change. If Mr. Scribner wants to improve his show for the remainder of this season, he had better stick around that olio until it comes out right. He has done for his or- ganization what few managers would have attempted so late, and cornea into New York with a good and clean per- formance. That's setting a pretty good example. Sime.
