vaudeville has simply cropped up because
of the fact that people wanted to go 10
the theatre to be entertained simply for
the moment, and where the curtain never
went down and they couldn't sit still.
They are so engrossed nowadays in the
business of the day that they have no time
to wait for the curtain to go down, or 10
sit three or four hours for a play to be
acted: they want their entertainment
quickly and readily and spicily served up.

Fitzgerald was that unless a mans own
name was sufficient magnet ii did not
matter how weak or strong his supporting
company might be. Booth was often
criticised for his poor support. but he used
TO point to one circumstance as proving
his views. In 1882 he gave way to the
wishes OF his friends ana engaged the
strongest company that ever toured in the
legitimate, in this or any other country.
They opened in New Orleans, and played
the first week to $1,000, an enormous busi-
ness for those days. Then Booths wife
died. and he had to go to New York to
the funeral During his absence the COM
pany continued playing. and netted $3.50
for the second week, trifle over $40 for

and saw the figures he remarked that they
