HARRY LAUDERS

Says American HumorI Is of Irish Descenta

I SG i jT iX 5 iaS WIBY CHARLES DARNTON

ARRY 1AUDQ3R will leave these remunerative shores on Wednebday with ono debp heartfelt regret

Im IM be verry sorry to go away and leave oil the moneysir ho assured me

After this bit of peculiarly Srotch humor the thrifty musichall Blnger wont on to tiny n good word for American audiences

The grreatcst audience Ive over had was one I played to yesterday jmore than a thousand lunatics he enthusiastically declared It was atthe Insane asylum on Wards Island Ihey appreciated me thoroughly andwe had n gr real time together I had thorn singing Love a Lassie with-

out¬ i1

any trouble Now the first time I told them sing It beautifully asIt you were singing It to your sweetheart end the second time youll singIt as If you had her In your arrms1 That was a verry happy thought r

There was every reason to believe that his engagement on Wards Island hadbeen hlrrhly nuccessful But he hand just come from a banquet and the Joys oflife seemed to rent somewhat heavily on him When It was suggested that ban-quets

¬ >

probably kept him a well fed If tired man he readily acquiesced c

During my eighteen weeks engagement in America this time Ive been given Jabout five banquets a week yes slrrl I was banqueted and feted every daywhile I was away I had no time to sleep except when I was juggled about on I

1 train like a grreat blanc mange I appeared In every city of Importance betweenNew York and Kansas City The lat time I was here I was never oot o th toon 4i

us they say In Scotland But now I know something about the countryA natural location drew him out

Well he reflected I found the West a wee bit different from New York 1

the characteristics of the people I mean It seemed more like home Out there the dpeople take things In their own way Here theyre all In a rush But I dare saytheyll get tired In two or three years and slow down a bit Theres more of a divide jafter you leave Now YorkIn the people you understand Theyre all In a bunchhereyou cant tell one from the other Out of town theres wbat you call a bet-ter

clRsi Here they all lot mixed upThis being mode clear Mr Lauder was encouraged to give his opinion ot

Americans he had met on his travels-I

+

never met an American while I was away he solemnly Informed miThey were either Scotch or ScotchAmericans And as for my audiencesone-

was like another You see Im at such a renlth of popularity at this time thatmy reception was the same everywhere-

Itx

WAS apparent that Mr Louder saw everything from his own point of view 1

but I had a lingering hope that he might have noticed a little American humor to flihis leisure moments-

Noi

was his discouraging reply I cant say that It struck me The humorof the average American you meet on the street Is essentially Irish I could pointout words to you that are as absolutely Irish as the pigs ot Dougherty

Having pnld his respects to Doughertys pigs Mr Lauder next turned his 1attention to Chicago

Chicago struck mo as being like Glasgow he remarked The people Inthe street looked as though they were working Plttsburg was the same ButBoston seemed English or I might say that It struck me as a wee bit between tlEdinburgh and tows In the south of England A person who doesnt get In a

unlcrseMuster Is the Bostohlan Of course I think New York Is the hubbub of the

In desperation I appealed once more to the Scotch comedians sense ofAmerican humor Hut ho only said j

If you come across a funny American just ask him what his parent wereand hell toll you they were Irish or Scotch Anyway that Wl my uperanolloBut my agent told me a good thing when we were on the road Would you like f

to hear a funny rtoryr he asked me one day Im dyln for something funnysays I I havent seen anything funny but the wife since we lift New YorkAnd so the agent told me of a talk hed had with the manager of the thatNI-n Peoria The manager listened to all the puff he had to say about me andthen he asked Do you really think this fellow win fill the house Is he anattraction you can recommend Hes the greatest thing that has struck thug

country since Columbus said the agent After the manager had learned to pro

ncunco my name ho remarked I never heard about this squeeze before trh-

a ho Whos he Roln to fight V

After Mr Landers laughter had spent itsolf he laughed very generourtr janother story was recalled

In Boston one of thoso newspaper clipping bureau fellows came to see me 1They tell me said 1w that you have sung before the King T have said L-

And whats ho like asked the bureau chap The King Is a grand old man 1

said I Then he wanted to know If I had ever sung before the President Noi sold I Whats he like Teddy lies a great guy That struck me as a J

funny thing to say vow you know a guy In England means A bloody fooL

Tho Niagara Falls were heartily Indorsed by Jlr Lauder and America Jwomen also met with his approval

The American ladles are lovely he declared But mind you they most

be very expensive articles because they drew very well Yes I think I am tight jIn saying that they must bo expensive articles But Ill be glad to see em

again wish I come back In the fall Im going to sail on Wednesday you know-

I suppose youll bo on hand Tuesday night to help along the cheering
