THE CHRONICLE 269 ing picture theatre. Jack Storrs tried to get past Connell at the gate. Failing in this, and running true to form, he tried to borrow some money of Chadwick, but that canny banker refused to accept the tin Ingersol watch that Storrs offered as security, so the latter had to re- main outside. The feature of the day was Lucy the Beautiful Cloak Model, with Miss Penrose in the name part and Howard Manning as the ruthless ruffian. It was a pleasure to see upon the screen the face of Nig Hudson, who had earnedi the title of the Adonis of the Movies. There was also one of those popular instructive pictures, but as it was produced by that well-known educator, Celia Lerner, the audience got up as one man and left. However, the pictures as a rule were good, although there was a slight fogginess in one case caused by the violent brogue used by Mickey Fallon in his excellent impersonation of the NVild Irishman. The fruit display was near at hand. Exhibit A consisted of the Crosby peach. Julia Robertson's catchup plant had also won'distinc- tion. Among the apples were many windfalls and also a Westplial. George VVright had just succeeded in growing a grape vine which produced grapefruit at one end and grape nuts at the other. Paul Donchian was cultivating a mustache, but with a pained expression he sadly told me that the crop was very poor. Speaking of cultivating, Edna Amidon, Stella Aronofsky, and Mollie McCarthy were cultiva- ting habits. In the miniature ocean was a melancholy Swan, whom I had known as Charlie, and also a Crane named john. A Reid, formerly Savilla, was growing in the water. All these were having difficulty in keeping out of the murderous clutches of the sharks, Ida Cion, Ruth Lanphear, and Eunice NVilliamson. The next event of interest being the deliberative race, I betook myself to the track and arrived just in time to see Vtfinfield Murphy, who won with great ,ease as a result of his previous practice in reaching recitations ten years before. Agnes McKernan and Mar- guerite Ennis were close seconds. Accompanied by Mary Finn and Russell Garsden on my way to the Hying exhibition, I observed the statue of Stella Kaplan, first am- bassadress to Mars, sculptured by Jessie Jones, and the illustrious Fannie Mancall, the walking model for Mary Koehler's hair-dressing establishment. At the flying exhibition, I saw Florence Sheehan, Mary Carr, Lawrence Kerwin, and Mary C. Fagan. These were quali-

270 , THE CHRONICLE lied to compete because they wore the new wings just invented by Sigrid Akerlind and Mary j. Fagan, which enabled the wearers to re- main in the air at least three-quarters of a second. Oh, horrors! My ears were deafened by the sounds of the dog show, before which stood the barker Easland. Soon Rosalie Brown persuaded me to visit the art exhibit and admire the two pretty Callenders which Sadie Eckstein had drawn, and also to admire Esther Landerman, who had drawn a deep breath. A slight glance at the bird show was sufficient after I had seen the jays, Henry jones and Hubert Johnson. Hereupon, Magdalene Scoville and Lillian Scott came along and took me to see jackson, the slack wire artist. VVith hair still on end, I visited the Idle Hour where the motor roller skates just invented by Hazel Harvey and Mabel Nelson were very popular. At Machinery Hall, Lottie Edgett was sharpening the wits of the grinds, Helen Hoben, Amy Kugler, and Miles Hapgood. Presently the thrilling tones of joseph Alexander arose. The only one in captivity! He eats 'em alive! Surely a freak worth seeing! There stood the last of his race, the horse. The Price which the owner, Tom Archer, de- manded was inquired and discovered to be Chella. On my way to see the rest of the freaks, I saw Ruby Zich, Freda Sigal, and Gertrude Earle wearing the new dressing gown, the Mollie Sack. On the left stood Sam Himmelblau praising the merits of the acrobats, Misses Slocum and Tracy, Osborn and Fanning, whose hair- breadth escapes from the Lyons, Anna and Leo, were almost natural, and on the right of an elegant Hall, Margaret by name, was the zoo- logical exhibit which displayed many kinds of worms, ring, hook, and book. Among the last were Esther Tulin, Lucy Moran, and Bertha Silverman. At last the freaks! The Harrington sisters, the Siamese twins, always together except when people are looking at them. Henrietta Opper, the tenth wonder of the world! She floats on a wave of memory. VVaiting to be kicked-Sullivan, the human football! The original Walter Bjorn, famous athlete of the Olympic games held in Hartford five years ago. Eveleth, the modern Kit Carson, shoots Agnes O'Brien, Edward Perry, and May Silver with his camera.
