Show MANAGER SIMS STARTS A CORK Manager Sims, of the Utah Theater is a genial chap, and a royal entertainer. He is al- ways looking for good things for his patrons, always "start- ing something' so to speak. But he started something the other evening he couldn't stop. It wasn't a row. though if his cashier had been a less ami- able person he might have, tin- intentionally. started that too. What he started was mere- ly a little .insignificant, black cork. In other words, he "open- ed a bottle" of ink Hurriedly ' Mr. Sims placed a bottle of In- dia ink on the stove in his of- lice to thaw. Soon there was a loud report, and thinking that the gasoline drum, or his pic- tare machine had exploded he ran for the hose. But when he saw his cashier had suddenly ' turned black from coal colored ' drippings from the ceiling, he woke up. The India ink had made a more or less beautiful design not more than ten feet across on the ceiling and the bottle lay on the floor, empty. in fact almost dry. The cork has not yet been found. |
