PRETTY ACTRESS MISTAKEN — FOR BOLD COUNTERFEITER Miss Mack of the Honeymoon Trail Handed Over Wad of Real Bills in the Play, and Went Shopping With Some “Stage Money.”’ Dainty little Drena Mack, ‘‘Pre- mier Singing Comediene,”’ with The Honeymcon Trail, has been jon the stage since early childhood, her career has met with many and varied experiences. One of the best of her stories is about the way she _ was almost mistaken for a counter- feiter in a Minneapolis store last Christmas owing to her going shopping with some “‘stage in mistake for the real goods. The mistake originated from the fact that Miss Mack has two handbegs, one of which she for the and the other for the stage. In the latter she carries a wad of ‘stage money” out money” uses street which she uses in the action of the play. At the matinee Miss Mack got the bags mixed. She handed over a wad of two hundred dollars in real money to Jack Westeramn, who promptly threw it on one side, and then went out shopping with the “green goods.’’ When it came to settling the bill, she waited a long time for the change. She was anxious to get back to the theatre for the evening pcr- she indignantly offered another bill from the same roll, which was more than Mr. Store Manager could stand; acd Miss Mack was asked io come up to the office. Then the truth dawned her. She tried to explain, but all her talk was received with suspicion, ard when she told the store man- ager she would run right over to the theatre and find her real money, he calmly informed her that he would send an officer with her. Miss Mack asked per- mission to phone her husband, Mr. Harry Cleveland, and after a little delay suceeded in finding him at the hotel. ‘*Hello,”’ says Miss Mack. that you Harry?”’ ‘*Yes,"’ came the reply. “Well, come down to this de- partment store quick. I'm held up here for trying to pass some of that old stage money, and say, send someone over to the theatre right away and see if my real money can be found.” on “Ts “Well, I'll be ———”’ said Harry as Miss Mack hung up the re- ceiver, On going to the theatre Herry | | practically decided to make the voters lists for British (Special to Daily News) | ritish { Columbia., the conditions | building and slanted edgeways through the wall where it sticks firmly.
