"No Use Looking at a Gift Horse's

The Romany and Their Romaniacs
(By LeROY SMITH)
I was parked comfortably in the
office the other day, Morris bein' out
at the time, when in come a damsel
who turned out to bo one of them Romaniacs from the theater over here on
the alley. She asked me would I
write her one of my stories about tho
theater and how lucky we was to have
one. I say that she was right, wo
was lucky, and there wasn't no use
lookin' at a gift horse's tonsils, no
matter how much he coughed. I explained that I couldn't write no story
about it because I didn't know any
thing about a theater, and all I had
against this particular one was the
