Business in the vaudeville way, the
agents say, is not as good as II ~',---'s be
at this time of the year, but mot what you
might call bad" AS a matter of fact
half the applicants are not provided with
work-''not nearly half" one Of the agents
said; and since most Of the people are i'm
provident at the best, there is some dis
tress in the profession. But there always
is that; so it is not thought worthy Of
comment in the agencies. Many Of the
women have two or three children to
support; and too much 'oeen time" brings
hard times, indeed, to them. The one hope
of the performer who has fallen out OF
favor is an occasional engagement as a
substitute.

ARTISTS OUT Of Jobs
How They of the Vaudeville
Stage Secure Them.
FUNCTIONS OF TIL" AGENT"
Hard Scene Among the
open Time" Contingent
.UNCTl0NS OF TIL" AGENT"

New York. Jan, 13-The blocking" for
the more important music halls of New
York city is done by some one of the man
| agement with special qualifications, and
engagements are secured by personal ap-
plication; but the men and women who
appear professionally at the lesser music
halls and concert halls of Manhattan,
Brooklyn, Hoboken, Jersey City, and New
ark are engaged, almost exclusively,
through the vaudeville agencies, which
are, in general, similar in purpose and
business methods to the shipping agencies
of South Street and the teachers and ser
wants agencies scattered through the city.
The proprietors of the halls look up the
agents, their needs well known to them
selves, and are provided on short notice
with whatever speciality they may ask
for-from a coon song to an aerial
act'-at whatever price per week they may
see fit to pay. Some agents have a stand
ing arrangement with the halls, and send
a half-dozen performers regularly every
week without consulting the management.
Proprietors of buriesque and variety
troupes organizing for a tour are provid
ed in the same way; it may be that with
in two days they are fitted out with
complete company, if the exigencies of
scenery, costume, and 'piece" are not too
great. The recommendation of the agent
carries great weight; if it is strong enough,
nothing more is requfred-no newspaper
clippings, no trial performance.
AS amatter of consequence, the agent
is factor of great magnitude in the ca
reer Of the professionals; his friendship
is to be won and retained at whatever
cost; indeed, by an artist who is not
established in the favor Of the concert
hall public, the battle must be fought and
won here before the possibility of MAX
ing a living opens up. The favorite. even
of mediocre ability, of an agent of any
connection need not come to
want; for scarce as weekly enrgSnents
may be, there are always single dates
to be filed, private theatrical casts to
pad out, and remunerative work at pri-
vate entertainments to be had. The per-
formers out of work leave their names
and open time" at the agencies, and
keep the agents advised always of their
of changes in their turns
or acts, of new separations and combina-
tions, and of all the detail effecting the
of employment. They will carry
every day, if they are wise, if it is for
nothing more than to say a word or two
and keep in touch with things. Opportuni-
ties are not in abundance, and nothing
must be neglected to secure them. In
almost all of the smaller agencies it has
been found necessary to hang conspicu-
ously a sign reading like this:
Performers are requested to transact
their business and leave; and not loiter
in the office and talk to the proprietor,
who is busy. Thankfully yours,
