“You said you would be at home
at 11, and here I have been keeping
awake these last two hours waiting
for you to come in!” said an angry
wife. The delinquent husband leaned
TEXAS against the wall and prepared to re-
move his shoes. "And I,” he said
softly and sorrowly, “have been
waiting outside for these last two
hours so’s you’d go to sleep.”

NEVILLE FLEESON
Before he could answer, there
■were two calls on the telephone.
Albert Von Tllzer came into the
room, impelled by an inspiration,
and a musical comedy primi
donna appeared suddenly on the
acene, and sang a number for our
edification, Fleeron playing her
accompaniment. After the excite-
ment subsided and we were alone
again, Fleeson turned to me.
“Where were we In our pow-
wow?” he asked.
“That prlma donna set my mind
adrift,” I confessed. “But, tell
me, were you born writing lyrl^T”
“Hardly," answered Fleeson. "I
was my class poet in high school,
though. Long before that, how-
ever, I had picked out tunes on
the family piano. Indeed, I wrote
music first, but got away from it
somehow."
Then Fleeson sketched his ca-
reer rapidly. He was born 1a
Pittsburgh, Pa. His verses began
attracting attention and money
when he was a mere lad. A Job
as lyric writer was offered him by
Will Rossiter, of Chicago. He
accepted. The erase for ball room
dancing came along soon after
and lured Fleeson into the ranks
of professional dancers. He was
having a lot of fun and being paid
■well for it. But meeting Florence
Holbrook, the well-known vande-

Al. Von Tllzer had popped out
of the room before I could j'eply.
I turned to Fleeson questfonlngly.
"Yes, T always try to tell a story
in my lines, or put some sort of a
punch in them,” he said. “Just
words without meaning — many
lyrics have little sense--make me
mad. I also try to visualize the
song and singer together. And
when called upon to write special
stuff. I study the personality of
the artist and endeavor to fit it.
A certain type of song will suit a
certain type of performer better
than another, you know, and I
make it my job to fit the words of
the song to the singer.”
“Sort of temperamental diag-
nosis!” I ventured to say. "That
sounds difficult!”
“Rather." agreed Fleeson, "but
I know something still more diffi-
cult.” A humorous light shone in
his eyes. "Collecting money for
a vaudeville act of mine which has
been going the rounds for four
years. That is ‘The Vocal Ver-
dict,’ the very act that caught Mr.
Von Tilzer's fancy and led to our
partnership. The woman playing
it calmly refuses to give me any
royalty for the act. What do you
think of that? I am hot on her
trail, believe me."
Fleeson has written several suc-
cessful vaudeville acts: one,
"Cupid’s Mirror,” was Christie
MacDonald’s vehicle for two years;
another is being starred in by
Trixie Friganza. at present, and he
was working on a. musical play for
Adele Rowland, the leading lady
in "Irene,” when I had my talk
with him.

ter waits for his poems to come to
him and Is obedient to the fickle
muse, ought to sec Neville Fleeson

solely upon the
phonetic sound of this ex-
pression. it appears to be dis-
tinctly profane and a number of
writers have fallen into the er-
ror of spelling "dam” as if it
were the word derived from the
same source as "condemn.”
To say that a person or a
tiling is “not worth a tinker’s
dam” is, however, not related
in any manner to profanity, but
gets its meaning from the fact
tliat a tinker’s dam was a wall
of dough or soft clay raised
around a spot which a plumber.
In repairing, desired to flood
witli solder. The material of
which this dam was made could
be used only once and was then
thrown away as utterly worth-
less. Meanwhile, it had served
the purpose of stopping or dam-
ming up the molten metal. The
colloquial simile is, therefore,
derived from this short period
of usefulness and not from any
widespread use of the word
“damn” on the part of tinkers or
plumbers. (Copyright)
