There, 'neath the shade of the sheltering palm, whether It be artificial or otherwise, he sips with an air of rapture the beverages that flow plenteously from the cafe Into tne orange room. From Oshkosh come the players, and from far-away Bazoo. Some arrive encased in Pullman sleepers and surrounded by nil the Joys that mortal man is heir to. Borne there are who borrow the money and take the regular day coach, with Its carpeting of cinders. Not a few there be who board the old reliable "blind baggage." and, alss! there are also those who trudge In over the countless ties.

If the season has been prosperous the gladsome story Is told by a fancy vest and a fancy cravat that does not match the vest. If the good people of Hocus-Pocns haven't properly rallied to the support of the Drama and Art, the trousers are slightly frayed at the bottom. But, regardless of past successes or failures, one and nil pour out libations of Joy to the goddesses of art as soon as the boat touches the sun-kissed shores of dear old Manhattan Isle. Memory of one-night stands, sorrowful though It be, fades away with the ronr of the elevated. The sufferings endured from bad hotels, poorly arranged theatres and reuoen audiences become sweet recollections when the grandeurs of Broadway are once more unfolded to view.

And Then The Job Hunt. New York nt this time becomes the clearing house of theatricals. The season Is at an end and all the managers are busy calculating their losses and gains this year It is mostly gains. They are not bothering much about plans for next season, for they are thinking nbout a little, vacation before beginning work for the coming fall. Then, too.

there are the summer amusement places to be looked after, hence the tramp, tramp of the actorine and actorette army on Broadway. The captain of this Thespian host is (toneral Neccesslty, whose mandates all obey. At his command the marchers attack the bulwark of offices that stretch from Thirtieth to Forty-second streets and above. Mr. Booth Itantington, who has "clippings" to show that his Shakespearean impersonations were the most vivid Bala-hack ever saw, Is looking hard for the position of lirnvy villain in some roof garden extravaganza.

She Is bright, she Is pretty, and one would scarce s'ispect from her cure-free step that her wardrobe Is her only asset. Kven The Ansrel Went Dad. But the manager knows her and he sees th expression In her eyes.

"Well, FlulTy. tU1 girl, glad to see you back in town." Is his greeting." What have you been doing?" "1 was out with a 'Florodora' bunch," sr.vs Fluffy, "but the stir 'sussed" the a nci and we went on the blink out In Montana. Situe then I've bea In vo-de-vll. Made, big hit. but I'm going back into the 'legit' again." "Have you got one of those things they call 'an angel'? demands the manager.

"Nnpe." replies Fluffy. "The-i come around tomorrow and maybe there'll bP something doing in the roof garden line." Fluffy departs all smiles, and she and 1ht d'-ar friend. Saliie Jones, stage-named Marcelle van Alslrom, who has got a plum as lending show girl at per, go down to Martin's and pour out their happiness over the bursting bubbles that shimmer in the glasses. But all are not so successful as Fluffy nnd Marcelle. and the best that many a high -browed, quick-footed mummer can do to pocket tiie position of head waiter for a emporium at Coney Island.

When They're filari It Warm. The two sides of stage life are displayed forcibly at tills time along the Great White Way. That it is a game of wln-and-lose with hundreds and a game of win altogether with others can be seen by the most Inexperienced layman. Many an actor and many an actress sirikes Broadway May 1 with practically not a cent and little prospect of getting anything good for the summer. Although the public genernlly doesn't think so.

an actor really has to eat. and wear suitable clothing during the summer as well as any other part of the year. He also has to drink, and as he isn't a flsh he has to have the "wherewithall." The only thing left for him to do Is to work, and as there are hundreds of vaudeville engagements to be tnnde and hundreds of summer opera companies to be provided for, be goes straight to Broadway with hopes high and pocketbook low. He ma tinges to "strike something somehow" and plugs along until the beginning of the regular season in September, lint Those With Coin Well. The other side of the picture may be viewed any evening In any one of the big uptown hotels of New York.

Actors who have starred successfully throughout the season nnd who. perhaps, have thousands of dollars to their credit in some bank, appear dressed in the height of Itlalto fashion and smile benignly on the universe. Their friends are welcome at the flowing bowl nnd are privileged to listen to their recitals of triumphs nnd witness the grand bouquet-throwing exhibition, with all the bouquets going to the "star" host. Yet the chances are that the player, reveling In luxury and compliments In the palm room of the Astor, Isn't a much better actor thnn the poor fellow who is knocking for a place at one office and then another. The actor business Is a game of "pull" and lnck.

The actor or actress with a "pull" and a good agent is the one who Is going to get there If his or her acting Is not absolutely beyond the pale. The days of merit promotlwn appear to be well-nigh spent, and the young woman with the proper sort of "angel" stands nbout a thousnnd times better chance of being sprung on the public than the young woman with talent, brains and ambition whom nobody In particular cares about. Occasionally the critics and the public take a hand nnd Insist that the little girl with personal magnetism and talent be given precedence over the pompous prima donna or "leading Indy" whose fortunes are being looked after by the manager of the show. But for a few months to come the public will not be bothered about deciding whether one actorine is better than another, and while the stranded players are looking for Jobs on Broadway and the prosperous ones are cruising about on their yachts this same public will have an opportunity to flit away to t'je sad sea waves or to the cool of the mountains and really enjoy Itself. CRESTON CLARKE AT FORD'S "The Raa-R-ed Messenger' Deals Of A Curate's Love Affairs.

In about 20 minntes Boylen returned the apartment. Then he remembered thar he had left his keys inside, and the diffl culty presented Itself of making a man near nis Knocking. He ponnaea ant pounded on the door so loudly that hn could not understand how Clnrfeo.

In anltw Mm I 9 vvutu ucijy ucaiuig uut there was no response from within Then Boylen. growing worried, put his! eye to the keyhole. He saw That the roon was dark, although the light had beet burning brightly when he had left It- Hr thought he could detect the sound of wate running In the kitchen. His alarm grew, and he determined ti wait no longer. He put his shoulder to; the door, the lock gave way, and he turn" bled over the doorsill.

I He struck a match at once and gaie about him. Under the table lay Clarke His feet and hands were trussed np anf there was a gag in his mouth. He seeme; dazed and almost unconscious. The floo was flooded with water and near Clark, stood an empty bucket. It was some time before Clarke wa! sufficiently revived to give an account what had happened.

At the same tlm someone set about rifling his pockets. Afte that ha was bound so securely that he coul not move. His captors confronted him am he could see from the motions of their lip that they were plying him with questions to which, of course, he could make no reply His failure to answer seemed to lnfuriat the burglars there were two of them and they started to beat him cruelly abou the face and body. Then they went to th kitchen sink and filled with water empty milk bottle which, they discovert' there.

After torturing him by means of th "water cure" until he could hardly breath they proceeded to gag him with a dlsl towel. The ends of the towel they knottei around his neck so closely that they almos strangled him. Even then his assailants were not satis fled. Over his head they doused a bucke of water several times. Leaving him lylnj in a big pool of water, -they set about ran sacking the apartment.

Albert A. Marshall has Instituted suit In Circuit Court No. 2, through William C. Smith, attorney, to compel the directors of the Continental Improvement and De-velooment Company to render an account nf the financial affairs of the company for benefit of the stockholders, snd that the exact nature and extent of the holdings of Jackson Brandt may be discovered. Mr.

Marshall also asks In the bill the cancellation of all stock of the company held by Mr. Brandt for which he paid no adequate price into'the treasury of the company, and that Mr. Brandt may be eomnelled to af fount for the sale of all stock made by him from bis oritrlnal holdings in the company and for which he has not paid an adequate price. The Continental Improvement and Development Company, the bill states, was In corporated in Delaware, with an author-j ized capital stock of $1,000,000. divided into 100.000 shares of the par value of $10 each.

Brandt is in possession of sufficient stock to control the company's affairs. It Is alleged, nnd being in control and directing its affairs, he is neither an officer nor a director of the company, and. so far as any outward signs or evidence of authority goes, he Is no more than a shareholder. Nevertheless, it Is declared in the bill. Mr.

Brandt handles the funds of the company and participates actively in the deliberations of the board of directors, and otherwise shapes the policies of the company as fully and to the same extent as If he were an officer. Mr. Brandt has sold. It is charged, shares of stock which were issued to him with out payment of value for them, the money from which sales he has appropriated to his own use. The shares sold by Mr.

Brandt, it is stated, are not part of the treasury stock, the proceeds from which went into the treasury of the company for the purposes of the company. The proceeds from the sale of the stock, it is alleged, have been concealed by Mr. Brandt in a safe deposit box in the vault of the International Trust Company, which Is made a defendant In the suit on that account. The issuance of stock to Mr. Brandt without consideration.

It is claimed, and the sale of such stock by him, is against the interest of other stockholders who have purchased their stock from the company. Mr. Marshall declares In conclusion that he has from time to time asked the directors of the company to call a meeting for the full Investigation of the company's affairs, but Mr. Brandt, by his influence, has prevented such a meeting being held. An order was signed by Judge Elliott requiring cause to be shown by May 24 why an injunction should not be issued restraining Mr.

Brandt from disposing of any of the stock of the company held by him and from using funds deposited by him In a safe deposit box with the International Trust Company. DR.

the trial board found It quite Impossible to proceed with the comparative tests of the submarine boats this morning. The Lake's awash and submerged runs were in order, and Captain Lake, who feels that he has an able sea boat, was nat urally anxious to show the board what she could do in stormy weather, but as the ranges conld not be made out this was im possible. The trial board lost no time. however, and spent the day assembling data, of which they have a large amount, and making out the speed curves.
