Some one scratched Jules Ruby's sign on his office door last Monday. Jules was furious. He nearly missed an act for Cohoes, he was that angry. For satisfac- tion he explained in detail why the turn couldn't work the "big time" until it had gone over the Proctor Circuit. Usually Jules doesn't go into detail. He says it's so, and then leaves it to anybody. That is a habit incurred through the trustful nature of Jules. He always trusts the other fellow, and has never lost a dollar yet. Jules says it is impossible for him to lose a dollar.
