Lindale, Ga.: AM BARNARD, the star of The Rollicking Girl Company, the all-summeér attraction at the Herald Square The atre, New York, is a convert to the primitive food habit. He has tried almost everything that has been recommended for dyspepsia. Previous to this last eccentricity ne gave Augustus Thomas’ no-breakfast plan a chance, but he couldn't stand It. Thomas writes funny plays,’’ said “but he’s no dyspepsia doctor. He talked me into going without breakfast, but I couldn’t stand it. It made me hungry and I had to eat.”’ Augustus Thomas never eats breakfast. He picked up the idea from an Illinois man who begins the day forgetting his ham and eggs. and Mr. Thomas has got fat and strong on it. Sam Bernard says the scheme is no good. He has to have breakfast even in his primitive food experiment. This breakfast now consists of two handfuls of wheat, eaten in the grain, a half pound of shelled hickory nuts, a raw apple and a cup of milk. His lunch and dinner consist of wheat, nuts, milk and fruit—all eaten raw. This natural or primitive food, it is claimed, not only restores the stomach and its attendant organs to normal strength and health, but its nutritious qualities build muscles and give the consumer the power and vigor of a Hercules. Sam was converted to the habit by a friend of his whom he knew to be weak and sick a few years ago, but who is now in the flower of health, with legs and arms like steel. “How did you do it?’ the comedian aSked. ‘With this,’ and the man took some grains of wheat from his pocket and threw them into his mouth, crunching them with relish. Now Sam goes around with a pocket full of wheat and may be seen eating it on Broadway any day out of his fist. His friends tell him that the gentleman with the arms and legs of steel was only ‘‘joshing’’ him—that they had seen the same gentleman in a Forty-second street restaurant getting away with a porterhouse steak and its concomitants. “I don’t believe it,’’ answered Sam. ‘“*But all the same,’’ he continued, as he martyriike munched his wheat, “if I catch him eating porterhouse steak I'll punch his nose.’’ Join Drew, as he lunched, talked about barbers, ‘They are so uncomplimentary,’”’ he said. “They tell you so many unflattering things. “A friend of mine went to be shaved at the Dark Harbor Hotel one day last summer, and the barber said to him: ‘“**Your hair is geting thin, sir.’ “**Yes,’ my friend answered tartly, been treating it with antifat. like stout hair.’ ’’ ‘I have I never did Blanche Walsh has solved the problem of preventing members of her company from ‘‘talking shop.’’ It all came about because a troupe of blonde exponents of the anatomical opera boarded the train in which Miss Walsh and her company were seated. eRmarks about ‘“‘the next stand,’’ ‘fast night after the show,’’ “I’m going to the Palace; it’s a dollar double,’’ were wafted down the aisle. “We all do too much of that sort of thing,”’ exclaimed Miss Walsh to Eleanor Carey, who is her stage mother in Clyde Fitch’s The Woman In the Case. ‘“‘It is such companies as that one ahead of us that are responsible for the popular idea of what an actress looks like and acts like. Stil, even the professionals are apt to talk more than they realize they do about such things—things that it seems to me, they should be only too glad to forget when away from the theatre.’’ “Let’s form a society for the suppression of our identity,’’ said Miss Carey. “I'll tell you a better scheme, replied John B. Reynolds, the acting manager. ‘I will get up a list of offenses and fines for mentioning the stage or anything connected with it during our trip to Boston. We'll use the money for a trip to Bunker Hill.’’ All agreed, and soon a typewritten copy of = following notice was handed to each mem T: Offenses and fines—Speaking of ‘“‘What a favorite I am in ——,”’ 5 cents; ‘Great criticisms I have mislald,’’ 8 cents; ‘Me and Ir ving,””’ 20 cents; ‘How much better I play the part than the last one did,’’ 15 cents; ‘*The unfairness of dramatic critics,’’ 2 cents; ‘‘Managers who want to star me,’ 30 cents; familiar references to ‘‘Charlie’’ Frohman, ‘‘Abe’’ Erlanger, ‘‘Dave’’ Belasco, ‘‘Bill’’ Brady and other personal friends in the business, 10 cents; “He is all right in the part. But——,"" 25 cents; mention of salary offered and declined, offenses overlooked because such culprits usually need the money; ‘‘Nothing but a Broadway “3 g~~ for the next season,’’ 20 cent¢; “How introduced coster songs fourteen yea before Chevalier,’’ 15 cents; the use of such words as stage, dressing-room, theatre, matinee, acts and show, 5 cents for each offense. If the late lamented William Shakespeare had known Jefferson De Angelis, it might have been suspected that he had the comedian in mind when he wrote about the one man who “in his time plays many parts.’’ The star of Fantana has acted in almost every clime and kind of play.
