One day a great orchestral composer set himself
the task of writing the symphony of New York.
For many weeks he labored, only to be dissatisfied
with the result.
"It is too sweet and too suave," he commented.
"It has none of the characteristics of this partic-
ular, great city, in spite of my dissonances and
cacophony. I have surely not made use of the
right instruments."
So he removed the caressing strings and re-
placed them with automobile horns. This brought
it decidedly nearer the effect desired.
Then the bird-like flutes and reeds were out of
place and gave way to a brace of trolley gongs.
The horns and gongs outbalanced the brasses and
tympani, which in turn made place for a quartet
of ferry whistles.

The dramatization of Chas. K. Harris' famous
ballad, "After the Ball," in motion pictures, was
presented before the public for the first time at
Proctor's Fifth Avenue Theater this week and
proved a decided success. The scenario, which was
written by Mr. Harris himself, is intensely inter-
esting and especially so with the principal char-
acters portrayed by such well-known artists as
Herbert Kelcey and Effie Shannon. As a matter
of fact, it is the first appearance in the "movies"
of these popular Belasco stars. The first presenta-
tion of "After the Ball" was strongly billed about
town and advertised in half pages in some of the
daily papers, with Mr. Harris' name prominently
featured.

"HARMONY BAY"
SILENCE REIGNED SUPREME.
It was at the theater, and the young man had
seen the play before. He let everybody for five
scats around know that. He had a preetty girl
with him, and he was trying to amuse her. At
length he said:
"Did you ever try listening to a play with your
eyes shut? You've no idea how funny it seems!"
A middle-aged man, with a red face, sat just in
front. He twisted himself about in his seat and
glared at the young man.
"Young man," said he, "did you every try listen-
ing to a play with your mouth shut?"
