The New York Clipper (November 1906)

1050 THE NEW YORK OlilPPKR. NOVEMBEB 24. ffi55 Clipper's ail Counts, CONCDI*1SO ST1GE FOLK and Some times OTOEIS BY J OSEPH1NB QUO. "^■k me for u many as yon choose out of 50,000 Mitorlcal dates, or 250,000 figure* representing 1be populations and areas of countrlei and of cities of tbe world. 1 will guarantee you absolutely correct answers to any or all such Questions." ASKMB would give Mice to tnls assertion If It could apeak. Instead of talking, how- ever. It Indicates Its answers by means of a dial similar to that of a clock. And therein lies the mystery of the latest and moit lm- expllcablo of Twentieth Century wonders. J. Warren Keane, the clever young student rind manipulator of things magical, appears to be the occult force behind all this mar* vctotis demonstration. Besides giving Instantaneous and correct replies to what Is above stated, ABKME will name the day of the week of any date chronicled In history, or tell you the name of the day on which you were born If you . give IT the date of that day. The Iramenw list of more than 300,000 replies, includes the births and deaths of noted persons of the present sad all cen- turies, and the dates of all Important events In the world's history. J. Wnrren Keane, who dominates A8KMR, the Dial of Eternity, bos odded this novel device as a finale to his clever vaudeville act, which consists of slcight-of-hand tricks which are purely expert skill. His quick manlpulatlona of cards, billiard balls and alt horti of novelties have earned him the sobri- quet of "The Man with the Marvelous Hands." Hands as marvelous as bis, but In an- other way, are the bands of ASKME'S dial, which point to the different numerals pslnted thereon, when a question Is asked of It. "Theso bands," facetiously says Keane, "may be laid off whenever I see fit, and when A8KME has no work to do." The method of conducting the ASKMB net Is this; Anyone of nn audience at a per- formance, whether In a theatre or drawing room, maj ask a question concerning dates. This Is repeated ly Keano to ASKMB, which stands on n table, or Is cnrrled by some bb- Distant to any part of the stage or among the nudlenec. (At no time Is IT anywhere near to Keane, nor has It any material connection with him. Ho may be in the audience while ABKMH is on the stage, or vice versa). When Ihc question Is put to tho Mystery, the hands of the dial slowly and impressively move to the numbers which moke up the date of the answer—and there you are, face to face with one of the cleverest and most myatcrloui of devices worked out by a mod- era brain. s> Apropos of dates, Keano tells a story wboreln figures s certain well known date which Is extremely Important for an Amer- ican to know. Passengers aboard a train making a three dayi* Journey noticed that one of their num- ber never alighted from the car during the different stops at stations. All the others, from time to time, loft the car and strolled along tho platforms for a leg-stretch, or to satisfy tho demands of their stomachs at the lunch counters. Finally, after two days, prompted bj curi- osity, one of them approached the man In his scat and said; "Why do yon never get off the car like tho rcBt of us fellows)" "Well," mid tho man, "It'a this way: You see, I've got one of the worst memories In tho world. If I got off the car I'd lie sure to forget the name of It—and you know this Is ft very long train." "You could eaBlly remember It by the method known tie 'association of Ideas,*" suggested the curious passenger. "Tho name of IhlB car, '1402,' la particularly easy to remember by reason of tho Important dato It represents." "How'a that?" asked tho man wllb the good "forgetory." "Wbyl don't you recall that It Is the Onto of the discovery of America by Chris- topher OolumbuB?" said the other. "Sum!" exclaimed the forgetful ono, "and I'll get off ut tho very next station, now that I have a means of remembering the itnmc of Ihn car I belong on. 1402," ho re- pented remlnlscontly, "1402—that's dead ensy." rater. Just bb tho train wns nhout to pull out of a station, the man with the short memory was observed running along tho platform and loudly exclaiming: "For God's sake, won't somebody tell me what year Columbus discovered America!" * Ancnt dates, that of November, 1006, hea been written upon one of Fundi Wheeler'a enrda, and forwarded from Mexico to the writer. An annuo) pass is a handy thing to have, hut think of ono for a century. It reads: "Pnss bearer and party lo Frost, box, El Gran Agcnte Gcnernle Sells-Kioto Clrco y SCoologlco. Qood until 100(1." One obvlotiB meaning may bo attached to this, which Is that tho press agent cordially wlahcs the writer a long life. Tbanxal but not to that dale, denr pass and press agent. E. E. Meredith, another Indefatigable In this line of publicity work "ahead," sends tin account of where a lapse of memory on the part of a man got bloi into deep water trying to cxplnln things to his wife, concern- ing a broken promise. A man who played cornet In a brass band was also an adept at consuming large quan- tities of Inebriating liquids. When ho went on the road with a company that played free concerts In front of the theatres for half an hour before performance Inside, ho promised his wife that be would not touch the wicked waters. Da fell! slss, many a time, bat still wrote letters home that he was faithfully keeping his promise. The one that gave htm away, according to the truth- ful chronicles of Meredith, read ss follows: "Well, dearie, It Is now after the show, and I have a minute to drop you a Use be- fore we start on a quick Jump. This book* lag Is Just awful. Can scarcely get time to write a letter. I often feel like taking a good drink, hut I always remember my prom- ise to you not to do so. If It were not for that I'd be In the bar room at this minute drinking with the rest of the crowd. (Here's where his lapse of memory took place). Well, It Is now time for the band to play out on the front balcony before the perform- ance, so I'll have to hurry off. Bood bye, dearie." (Signed), f A "trouper," playing a large town la which he was nnacqualnted, took a long walk before the performance, Be turned to go back to the theatre, but his memory failed to Indicate the right direction. Finally, hailing a native, he asked: "Will you direct me to the Opera House?" "Oh I" exclaimed the countryman,, "So you're lost." "Oh, aol" declared the actor, "I'm right here—It's the Opera House that's lost!" In good, old fashioned circus tines, the most popular animal csge was always the one containing the "happy family." Many a country preacher has gone to a circus, salving his religious conscience with the fact that he wss going only/ to st-?dy the actual Illustration of the text about the peaceable association of the Hon and the lamb, so that he might more graphically portray that paradoxical situation to his hearers. One such was visiting s circus menagerie, deeply Interested In the happy family cage which contained a monkey, a parrot, the reg- ular Inmates—a lamb and a Hon, and two or three other wild animals that liked lamb as a frequent diet. He was questioning the keeper concerning his caged charges. "And are these creatures always as peace- able find friendly as now?" he asked. "Cert I" said tho keener, "and they've been together this way for a year." "The lamb Is the mildest natured of the group," observed the prescher. "1 shonld think: that at times the others might beset him." "'Deed nu' they do,*' said the keeper, a bit off his guard, and forgetting for a mo- ment the advertised fact that the animals never quarreled. "And what do you do at such times!" asked the Interested preacher. "We Just haul out tho dead lamb and put In another live one," said the keeper. 1 •!» . " MAIRB.

To music lovers it is a matter of pleasurable imminent to note the Important part the Witmark publications occupy on musical pro- grammes, whether they cater to high class, popular or vaudeville mate. la many cities the groat success of the Summer concerts demanded a continuation of the Winter months, and In New Orleans the Brooke Win- ter Garden concerts have become a feature of the city. A recent programme contained such selections aa Victor Herbert's "It Hap- Eened In Nordland," "Laces and Graces," y Bratton-Salzer; "The Mouse and the Clock," by Whitney, and two popular med- leys, "The Cnlef" and "The Monarch," by 0 Hare. Murphy and Andrews, who are such a strong and fun-making team In vaudeville, are using "Love Me and the World Is Mine," "The Girl I Left In Boston Town" and "Friends That Are Good and True." At tho Bijou Theatre, Brooklyn, the orchestra has been making good and pleasing large audi- ences with the Btlrrlng march ballad, "The Stars, the Stripes and You," and also with "On the Shady Side."

Edltb itandell, a clever little soubrette with the Trocsdero Burlesquers, reports that "Kiss All the Qlrls for Me" Is a tremendous hit with her, and she has to respond to several encores nightly. Genaro and Bailey write us that the songs "Don't Be What Ton Ain't," mui "I'm Looking for Hy Tom" are two of tho best they have over had. They are play- ing la Percy Williams' time, last week at the Victoria, next week at the Alhnmbra. Marie Doro, the talented young actress, who scored auch a success In the title role of William Olllottte's "Clurk-e," at the Garrlck, baa written a number of bonghits that have been Interpolated In various Broadway successes. la one of the scenes In "Clarice" aoe has occasion to play the piano, nnd being a com- poser of much merit, It Is but natural that she should piny a composition of her own. It was greeted with such great succcrs that she has enlarged upon It, and It ts now played by the orchestra as well, throughout the performance, Under the clrcumstencuu, n more fitting name than "The Clarice Waltses" could not bo given It. They are of a high etnas order, ana no doubt will be In great demand wherever good music Is ap- predated. Maceo and Foi write ub that the Bonga "I'll Keep a Warm Spot In My Heart for You" and ''Kiss All the Girls for Me" are the hltB' of their act, and they hove never failed to get three or four encores nightly on them.
