Clarke'a Latest.
Apropos of the visit of ths popular
comedian. Harry Corson Clarke, who
will be at the Baker Theatre next week.
It is hot without interest to note a little
Incident that occurred when he was
playing in Topeka. Kan.
Of all tha queer experiences through
which the actor haa passed, there are.
he avers, none which have caused him
so much genuine amusement aa the one
here related.
Tha state was In tha throes of a po
litical campaign when Harry Corson
Clarka and his company arrived there to
present "His Absent Boy," tor a week's
engagement.
Seated among the large audience which
assembled to greet the star on tha open
ing night were a great number of Coun
cil men and politicians. Bo natural Was
Mr. Clarke's assumption of tha part of-
Mr. Pennle, and ao life-like hla make-up
that the audience were convinced that a
man who could look like that and do that
work on the stage must surely be Just
the man in real llfek who- oould avert
the split with which ghelr . party was
threatened. ,
A meeting was held the next day, and
a couple 04 evenings later aa a result of
tne aeimerations a deputation waited on
Mr. Clarke at his hotel to ask htm to
renounce the stage forever) become a
resident of the prosperous City of To
peka, and In good time be nominated for
election to the Legrwiaturs or Kansas; "
The evening performance was not yet
over when the chosen representatives
arrived at the hotel. They waited
therefore in the lobby till Mr. Clarke
should return. On his arrival tha CTerk
at the desk pointed them out to him, and
Mr. Clarke went over to them to enquire
their buslnesa "Wa wished to see Mr.
Clarke," said their spokesman. -
"Your humble servant, r gentlemen,"
was tha reply, and Harry Corson Clarke
made his courtliest bow.
"Very pleased, young man, I'm sure,"
was the unexpected retort, "put 2 guess
It wss your father we wanted; you aaa
we want him to quit this noting busi
ness, settle down here, and take to poll
tics." :
"My fatherr replied Mr. Clarke, In
astonishment, "really gentlemen,, there
must ba soma mistake. Tou -aea 'my
father Is five hundred miles away."
Blank astonishment settled on tha faces
of -the deputation, and for a brief space
silence reignea 1 sen at length the
spokesman of tha deputation recovered
himself. "Then who ia thunder was the
man who played Mr. Pennle last night at
ths theatre?" he gasped.
Ones mora Mr. Clarke bowed, and thoa
