WHISPERS IN THE
DARK
I sat there tense with emotion —
my eyes brimming and my hands
tightly gripping the chair. Oh no!
this couldn’t, wouldn’t happen! The
hero, blind and lost, was directly in
the path of the galloping horse of
his oblivious sweetheart. She did
not see him — she thought he had
been killed in France. On came the
horse — it was terrifying. Oh hor
rors! Directly behind me I heard a
coarse whisper:
“Buck, quit holding my han’ so
tight. You’re hurtin ’ hit!”
I came back to earth with a jolt!
But the the horse stumbled! The
heroine wa. thrown to the ground.
Was she dead? She was limp and
pale! The hero had heard the fall
—he had known the rider of the
sorrel mare to be his old sweetheart!
He was stumbling around madly —
he was helpless — blind — he could
do noth ng — there was no ''ne near
by. He struck grotesquelj at the
earth with his cane — no familiar
object — nothing! Oh, how awful!!
At that moment something snatched
at my sleeve. A grating voice nearly
made me jump out of my skin!
“How come he don’t do somepin’
for that por gal? Is they somepin’
wrong with him{”
“He’s blind!!’ I growled sav
agely — and thought to myself —
“I’d like to brain you!!”
Again I had been forced to realize
that it was only a motion picture.
Xever mind —■ he managed to find
his way to her. She’s talking to
him — Ah! the reconciliation! She
still loves him. Oh joy, oh happy
day! She’s going to kiss him —
oh gosh! —■ .she is!!!!! Oh this is
wonderful
Just as she kissed him tenderly,
someone in the seat in front of me
popped a piece of gum that couldn’t
have been less than two inches in
diameter.
That was my cue — I betook my
shaken frame out of the theatre —
somehow I didn’t care to see the rest
of that movie.

wrist. Footwork as in any game re
quiring the covering of a court, is
also essential for good form. Timing
and anticipation of one’s opponent’s
moves improve the game consider
ably, especially in a singles game.

service, the drive, the clear
(sometimes called the lob), the
smash, and the drop.

Having chosen sides in any one of

not be too high for the shorte.st con- I ^
testant to shake hands over it. This
is very imijortant, for, as the game |
goes on, the handshaking becomes |
more and more frequent, until, at the |
close of the game, all four contest- j
ants are at the net at the same in
stant, all shaking hands with each
other.
Post and Shirley in their book,
“Selected Recreational Sports” say:
“Before serviAg the finishing toiich-
en to the toilet, forgotten in the
haste of reaching the court, are com
pleted by the players. The ladies
rearrange the> hair and adjust the
hang of their kilts, while the gentle
men effect a more happy compromise
between shirt and trousers than was
possible in the dressing room.
“The knee and ankle muscles are
then flexed in a personal and experi
mental way, to assure each player
that he or she is all there.
‘ ‘ The bird is now served. The
side serving the bird assumes the
simpler poses of the classic daticc,
while their opponents crouch expec
tantly on their side of the net wait-
for play to begin. The breath comes
faster through the parted lips; and
; the player about to receive the serve,
I whose pose is something like that of
^ the Discololus statue, tries to dig a
I foothold for his hind foot in the
hard wood floor. He is thwarted in
his attempt, and the game begins ’
I again. The kilts and trousers are*
readjusted in the light of the new
experience and better poses are as
sumed and play actually commences.
“The server drops the bird from
his left hand, and just before it
reaches the floor he gives it a gentle
scoop which sends it across the net. ’ ’
The tennis grip may be used to ad
vantage. For the backhand strokes,
experts have found it effective to
shift the grip as in tennis. The wrist
plays an important part in Badmin

some plans for short sketches into
full-length plays, and, perfectly
aware of the severe drain on her tal
ents and strength, actually accom
plished three such plays, works which
required quick changes in x>ersonal-
ity, approach, and costume, and
which held her on the stage for near
ly a whole evening. It was, no doubt,
exhausting; but the feat, coupled
with intelligent writing and inspired
performance, put her in an especial
and enviable theatrical niche.
Some of her original sketches are
“The Wives of Henry VIII,” “The
Empress Eugenie,” “The Loves of
Charles II,” and “Mansion on the
Hudson. ’ ’ In addition to her theat
rical work, she is a frequent contribu
tor to magazines.
