WILL BE FINE AFFAIR
An act not down on the bill was
presented to the patrons of the Star
theater at Thursday’s matinee and
the members of the cast* held a dress
rehearsal In the police court Friday
morning. It all happened because two
young men In the stage box persisted
Imitating Frank Daniels' latest stunt
and talking to the girls on the stage.
No, they didn’t klsa any of the girls.
This was at the Star.
Carl Smith and John Lupo, young
railroad men, were the defendants In
the ca*e. It developed that they had
occupied box seats for which another
railroader had given them coupons.
Their unaccustomed prominence went
to their heads and they persisted In
lending their voices to aid the per
formers on the stage. An-officer re
fused to eject them from the house
when the ushers demanded It and the
ushers tried It themselves.
Arriving at Ihe exit, the two patrons
invited the ushers to come outside and
start something. The ushers declined
with thanks. Thereupon Smith and
Lupo seised several heavy cuspidors
thoughtfully provided for lovers of the
Star type of vaudeville and hurled them
at the ushers, several of the utensils
landing where they would hurt most.
Judge Broyles heard the case i
length and assessed a fine of $5.75
against each of the defendants. The
ushers were dismissed.
