Harry Lauder feigned indignation when Mayor Rolph, of San Francisco, recently tried to put a couple of stories across him on his arrival from Sydney by the Ventura. The Mayor told him of a Scotsman who sat up all night to watch his wife’s vanishing cream. “Awa’ wi’ ye, mon,” said Lauder, “Y’ stories are a libel on a philanthropic race.” Asked for his favourite Scotch story, Lauder replied, “The one I tell on the stage ma’sel, and get paid for.”
