I’ve got such a sore throat I can hardly talk. Miss Hope: “We shall now play ‘At Once. Omar” Collins: “Well, it’s about time.” McFarren to Hewitt: “Hurry. Let me have $40 but just give me $20 now—then you will owe me $20 and I’ll owe you $20, so we'll call things square. Thanks.” “Omar”: “Say, that picture doesn't look like me.” Kurr: “How do you expect me to make good where nature failed.” Chandler: “Don’t you know that all sen- tences have predicates?” Alvarez: “I know one that doesn’t.” Chandler: “For instance—” Alvarez: “Thirty days.” “Nick” Tancredi is always good natured be- cause it takes him so long to get mad clear through. “Boss” Brown: “I’ve had this car for years and I’ve never had a wreck.” Prof. Weigie: “You mean you’ve bad this wreck for years and never had a car.” Actor: “Inie, I can never marrv vou.” Miss Welch: Why?” Actor: Because I have a wonderful wife in New York.” Mrs. Brown (to husband): “Sylvester, get up, there is someone snoring under the bed. I think it’s a burglar.” “Boss Brown: “Don't make any noise and when he wakes up I’ll charge him for lodgings. Hirst: “You said when I married your daughter you would give me a check for $1,000.” Mr. Tordoff: “Yes, for $1,000 1 would give any man a check.” Nate Levine: Pa, there’s a man in the store who wants a blue suit.” Pa Levine: “All right, Nate, change the spotlights.” An American recently returned from China after spending seven years there. His friends gave him a reception and he addressed them in broken China. “Fagal” Ryan to brother Joe: “Joe, I'm half dead.” “Joe”: “Good. Now I can collect half of your life insurance.” Foley: Why don’t you get married, Law- son?” Phinney: “1 don't want to do it on account of business. I’m a floor-walker at Baker Bros, you know, and I couldn’t stand that kind of thing day and night.” Miss Kelly: “Franklin, my dear, take this letter to the postoffice, buy a two cent stamp and mail it.” (Franklin returns later.) Miss Kelly: “Did you mail it?” Converse: “Yes; but I saved two cents; I saw people dropping letters into a box, so I watched my chance and when nobody was look- ing I drop|ied mine in, too.” Hulihan: I was in a fight last night, dear, and a man knifed me in the synagogue.” “Red”: “Where is the synagogue?” Hulihan: “In the temple.” Tom Callahan: “How can a ghost get into an empty room?” Laura Nelson: “Don’t be dumb. He would get in with a skeleton key.” Just imagine if: Louis was Haddock instead of Karp. Russell was a Chef instead of a Butler. Louis was France instead of Morocco. Miss Dorothy was When instead of Howe. Miss Blanche was Firestone instead of Goodrich. Francis was a Baker instead of a Smith. Betty was a Wolf instead of a Fox. Irene was Dewitt instead of Ten Eyck. -4 22
