Nesblt. author, playwright, ad- vertisement writer and all around juggler of the English language, has at last been Initi- ated Into the motoring fraternity. Mr. Neablt waa In Indlanapollt with per- fectly terlout business Intentions. He was conferring with the Natlonul Motor Vehicle Co about their advertising, and also de- sired to see bis ahow, "The Girl of My Dreama." at the English Theatre. la fact, he had Invited nulte a party to alt with him In the author's box. Mr. Net- bit presented hit card to the ticket office and asked for a box, and got met with the reply, "Sold Out." He then asked for eight teatt, but got the same reply, but tho ticket clerk stated that he had a few ttckcta that had been sold but not yet called for, and ho would turn these over to him, but Mr. Net- bit said "No. sir, and disappoint some one. I would much rather have yon tell me you are told out than to hovo you give me ten boxes I" Nothing sounds quite so good to an author as "sold out," especially when his play It making Itt third appearance la the same city. Mr, Neablt then discussed with John Hyams a new musical comedy for next season, and wit talking "shop" to George M. Dlekton, grnanl manager of tbr National Company, when Dickson suggested that Mr. Nesblt should get the true automobile atmosphere by taking a rldo In a cor on the two-and-a-balf mile motor speedway. Mr. Nesblt contented, providing a tafe and sane drlror would pilot tbe machine. Little did he know that Mr. Wilcox, the Intrepid knight of the motor, had made the world's fastest mile with a stock car. an exact duplicate of the big National 40 which Mr. Nesblt waa tacked In. A cap waa Nubttltnted for tho author's dignified black headpiece, the motor cracked and roared, tbe big ear kicked up Its rubber shod hrelt and darted forth. Nothing waa left for Mr. Nesblt to do but hold on and watch the figures en the speedometer. 'Higher and higher these figures mounted; twenty nulea almost at tht atart—thirty, forty, fifty, sixty. At a mile a minute, with a cold Winter wind beating against his face, Mr. Netbtt tbought the limit of human en- durance had been reached. One quiet, alert figure that Bat betide him acted Inhuman. Mr. Wilcox teemed to be a part of the slug- ging machine. Then, to add to the hazards of the performance, the paved speedway was coated with let and- snow. Then the pedome- ter showed seventy miles an hour, and this Hiired, too, as they were taking one of the high banked curves. Then eighty, and Oitn be shut hit eyca. Ho would not tell later just what hit thoughts wero during thlt period when ho thought hit life waa In fho Imlsnce. but when he opened his eyes again and saw the figures read ninety miles an hour, he shut them quick and waited for the Inevitable crash, and then blackness. But, Instead, Mr. Wilcox, who is accustomed to such antics, slowed down, having perfect control of his car, and Mr. Netblt once more felt his feet on solid ground. Tho strange part about It all was that after Mr. Nesblt had wiped the big. Icy drops from off hit forehead, nnd had lighted a comfortable cigar, ho aeked Mr. Wlleox to "do It again." And now Mr, Netblt wantt a car, an exact duplicate of the one Mr. Wilcox drivet, tor he has become a regular motorist. ♦ «» - "PBUH GYNT" HBADINa. On Friday evening, Feb. 28, at the Wal- dorf-Astoria, Edith t'llne Ford entertained a chosen few with her dramatic interpreta- tion of Henrlk Ibsen's "Peer Oynt."
