THE DRAMATIC MIRROR, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1901. Willie Crim=Shaw. Everybody knows Willie, well; too well. Andworse still, Willie is a comedian. But he isyoung yet, and, perhaps, people will laughwith him some day. We arent positive. Willie was cut out for a clown—or some-thing. He has an actors walk and a facultyfor getting before the foot-lights—and into thePublic Eye. Willie is more than popular in Stret andFrut—he is indispensable. He handles itsfinances and directs its policy, and looks after. the rouge and the grease paint. He aspires tobe president of the Strets some day nextyear. Just think of that. Willie is handsome. He hopes to become anactor. A few years since, he began his dramaticcareer by reciting before an audience that filled the school room back to the wood-box, TheBoy Stood on the Burning Deck. The wind sobbed through the hickory treesthat grew near the window. The audience waswrapped in gloom. Not a person left the room,for outside the rain fell in torrents. When Willie had ended his reputation wasmade. A few months afterward he enteredIndiana University. But his fame had pur-sued him and he was prevailed upon to organizethe Stret and Frut.
