Some of the most successful plays ever
presented on the stage are said to have
been the elaboration of an incident picked
up by a playwright and made into a dra
matic vehicle that later attracted, world
wide attention. It was in this manner
that Edgar Selwyn's - rollicking comedy,
"The Country Boy." which Henry t. Hsr-
ri will present at ths Srandeia next Fri
day and Saturday, was evolved. The inci
dent on which "The Country Boy ' is
based Is said to have been picked up by
Mr. Selwyn when he was living in a little
boarding house on Fifty-first street. New
York. One day In this little typical New
Tork boarding bouse something happenea
that seemingly soon after was forgotten.
Ten . years elapsed when he was called
upon to contribute a one-act sketch to an
entertainment that the Lambs, a society
of actors, were planning to give In their
club house. This incident was recalled by
him and made Into a sketch that turned
out to be one of the biggest successes ever
produced at one of these events. Mr. Har
ris witnessed its performance and immedi
ately suggested to Selwyn that he elabor
ate the sketch and make It into a play.
He did this, and the piece was finally
presented at the Lioerty theater. New
Tork. where its sueceee was instantaneous.
The engagement there continued for five
months to the hbeolut capacity of the.
play-house, and the comedy was consid
ered one of the best plays of the season.
This success was later repeated at Powers'
theater, Chicago, where its reception was
no less enthusiastic "The Country Boy
will be presented here with the same at
tention to detail that made its metropolis
tan engagement so successful, and the
carefully chosen cast Includes such well
known c ernes as Alfred Cooper. Frank
MoCormack. Doan Borup. Frank E. Jami
son. George Schaeffer. Olive Templeton
Elda rurry, Charlotte Langdon and Nellie
Fillmore.

WHAT IT MEANS TO LAUGH
A Scientific Kxplavastlea Sob

What is laughter? An American hu
morist has called it an undur.if.ed
widening of the human mouth, aocom
nanied bv a noise resembling a cough in
th effort tn avoid ewallewlnx a. chest- I
nut." '
Laughter." says Prof. Sir Charles Bell,
"is a convulsive action of the diaphragm.
In this state the person draws a full ,
breath and throws it out In interrupted. .
short and audible cachincatlona This ;
convulsion ef the diaphragm is the prin
cipal part of the physical manifestation '
of laughter.
"But there are several accessories, espe- i
cia-ly the sharp vocal utterances arising !
from the violent tension of the larynx
and the vxpresslon of the features, this
being a more Intense form of the smi.e.
In extreme cases the eyes axe moistened
by the effusion front the lachrymal 1
glands"
There are some people who cannot ',
laugh who are wholly unable to enjoy
either the pbystes or the mental luxury1
of a laugh. Thu, ft was said of William i
III that he was utterly at a loss to under- '
stand what could be got out of laughter I
except loss of dignity. There are many j
