PASADENA PLAYERS SOLICIT
MSS. REJECTED BROADWAY
PASADENA, Feb. 13.—When Pasa
dena’s community playhouse opens on
April 1, the first attraction will be a
play which probably never would have
seen the footlights had it not been
for an unusual request made by the
playhouse directors. An appeal was
directed to all members of the Dram
atists’ Club of the Authors’ League,
to submit rejected manuscripts, and
it is from these plays, turned down
by Broadway producers, that the di
rectors expect to find the opening ve
hicle.
The playhouse, a civic venture, was
built at a cost of $300,000, all of which
was raised by popular subscription.
It will be run on a non-profit basis,
and is publicly owned under perpetual
trust.

casting can be heard all over the

sired.
BOOTBLACKS HAVE NO FEARS
THAT MEN WILL DESERT THEM
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13.—Women
are not so extravagant as popular be
lief would paint them, but on the con
trary are economical, or at any rate,
they don’t pay out money for shoe
shines, say Los Angeles bootblacks.
The shiners say that fifteen men have
their shoes polished to one woman.
A woman, they explained, will take
home a 25-cent bottle of polish, hum
up a rag and at the end of the montl:
figure out how much she has saffed,
Then, if she is married, she is liable
to try to break up the age-old male
custom of hiring someone else tc
clean his shoes.
Flying from a chimney, a turkej
dislodged a brick which fell on the
head of J. G. Ross of Wexahachie
Texas, knocking him unconscious.

If the true efficiency of a police
force may be judged by the number
of arrests made, then the police o:
Philadelphia, under General Smed
ley D. Butler, of the Marine Corps,
must be highly efficient. In ten
months 106,929 arrests were made,
of which 44,003 were for drunk
enness. We could make a better es
timate of the General’s batting aver
age, however, if we knew how many
drunks got away with it.
