the earth The question Was asked by a disillusioned young man who stepped Into the world behind the curtain at atthe atthe atthe the Salt Lake theatre last week So Sotar 5 L tar tal as ai Salt Lake is concerned the question must be answered in the af at affirmative affirmatIve There is no green room FI here h re in the old acceptation of the he t term I That Is to say sayS there Is 15 no place behind the curtain where the actors and ac actresses actresses actresses tresses gather gath r to t chat with each other Othe Othean and an with callers allers while they await their cues Was there ever ver a green room Well W ll yes The green room was e eone one of the most important adjuncts to the theatre Nearly a century ago Theodore Thepdore E B Hook an English EI humor humorist 1st wrote The Friday came and for the first time In my life I found myself in the green room of a theatre it was ivas liter literally literally ally a green room room Into which light was wast t admitted by a thing like Uke a cucumber frame at one end of it It was mat matted ted and round the walls wails ran a bench covered with faded green stuff where whereupon J upon the dramatis personae deposited themselves until called to go upon the stage a lookingglass under the sky skylight skylight skylight light and a large bottle of water and a aI I er jn on en the chimneypiece com corn completed cornI I tire th furniture of this classic apartment That sound very Inviting does if it But It is a lot more inviting than the world at the back Is today There is i nothing but business on the other side of

rest of the people are scattered through the various arlous little coops pro provided provided vided for the hot hoi polloi of the stage No chattering no merry laughter no nop p airy persiflage per l no wine drinking with r the no anything but work work work So those who prefer prete to cling dIng to their idols will do well to stay in front of the curtain People who are tempted to go back find almost with without without out exception that the feet of ot the idols are clay or nose putty or paint or something horrible of ot that sort The Thi green room is not in its deca decadence decadence
