ECCENTRIC EZRA KENDALL.
The Length of His Monologue De-
ponds Upon the Laughter.

When Ezra Kendall is playing at
vaudeville theater the stage manager is
always at sea- The length of Mr.. Ken
dall's act never can be judged. for It
depends upon the audience how long
he will be on the stage. If the audi
ence is cold and unresponsive, as even
this best of vaudeville monologue men
will find it. his act necessarily will be
short. 1t runs all the way from 20 to
80 minutes. It is invariably longer at
night than it is in the daytime. The
reason for this is that, like a certain
cigar, Ezra Kendall is for men," He
has figured that the laughs will last APP
proximately five minutes longer at night
than at the matinee
Mr.. Kendall is one of the very few
stage people who use no N ake-up. 1t
takes him not more than four minutes
to prepare for the stage. For instance.
during the past week at the Masonic
Temple theater, Chicago, the act of the
people who appeared before him would
be half over before he even entered his
dressing-room. His change of costume
consists of altering his coat, necktie.
hat and shoes. He always carries a
newspaper in his left hand, and runs
his hand through his gray hair two or
three times to rumple it up. Then he
is ready for the orchestra to play "Auld
Lang Syne" for his entrance
Mr.. Kendall writes about two mono
logues year. When he has used these
around the circuit he fixes them up for
books. He already has two books on
the MARKET, OpOtS. the ufSI, having
had sale of almost 100000 copies, and
the second, Good Gravy" approaching
the $4,000 mark. He says his profits
from his books, which he calls "ashes,''
have an ounted to about 81, 200. It takes
four monologues to make a book. He
is now about to publish his third vol
ume.
