ceeded in building up reputation
which he can live on after he ceases to
be drawing card with the public.
The theatrical agent is brought
into touch with both sides of the shift
ing life of the stage. He meets an en-
thusiastic ''raw recruit" one minute
and the next turns to face an actor
or actress who has outlived his or her
stage usefulness and is searching dill
gently for an engagement. The agents
life is, in fact, better drama than the
average stage production, and he has
enough comedy thrown in to relieve
the monotony. And there is good
deal of comedy about theatrical ex-
change, and comedy goes.
The sole business of the theatrical
exchange is to supply attractions to
managers for every kind of show, and
as most speciality people are under con-
tract with one agent or another dur
ing the season this is done with as
much system as prevails in well-regu-
lated banking institution. Whole pro-
grammes are made up by the agent
as manager is required to do but one
thing-sign a check covering the cost.
The price of complete performances
ranges from $3.50 to $1,150, not includ-
ing transportation expenses, which the
manager is required to pay.
Individual acts are naturally rated
according to the ability and popularity
of individual actors. Speciality people
draw much higher salaries than those
engaged in legitimate work, but, even
at that, they are admittedly underpaii
considering the character of some of
their acts. For instance, a woman will
stand against a board and allow
man to hem in her body with sharp
knives, thrown a distance of Is feet
for 500 day Qist price,, and two
| knockabout comedians will beat and
batter themselves numerically for
sos day Qist price,. This is sample
of the salaries paid to men and women
who appear on the variety stage, yet

LIFE ON THE STAGE.
The Length of the Average Theatrl-
cal Career Is Rarely More
Than Ten Years.


A new crop of stage people is har-
years. Each decade marks the begin
ming of a new epoch in theatrical his
tory.
This fact, says the Chicago Tribune.
does not apply so aptly to stars and
stage people who dominate in the pro-
fession, for the life of these, so far as
the public is concerned, is usually
somewhat longer. But with the rank
and file-those who never rise higher
than the level of minor roles = ten
years is about the limit of endurance.
After having served before the public
for that length of time without doing
anything sufficiently meritorious or
novel to attract unusual attention the
actor or actress, as rule, passes away,
in so far as the profession is concerned.
and new crop is harvested among the
many anxious recruits on the waiting
list to fill the depleted ranks.
Men who deal in the talents of stage
people to the extent of reaping finan-
cial returns from their labors are bet
ter qualified to 'size up" the situa ton
than others, and their experience
teaches that few ordinary people of
the theatrical profession remain long
er than ten years in the business. They
either achieve distinction-alth ough
this is the exception rather than the
rule-or else drop into other lines after
having been convinced by experience
that the stage, so far as they are direct
ly concerned, offers practically no OPP
portunities for advancement. For this
reason the rank and file of the profess
sion is constantly changing, and the
popular idea "once an actor always an
actor" is easily disproved.
1t is the Office of the theatrical agent
the man who mediates between the
stage people and managers-that pre-
sents the truest phase of stage life. In
this little clearing house, where talent
is the standard of consideration, the
mask is removed, and everything goes
for just what it is worth. By reason of
this fact those who manage the affairs
of stage people are better able to
Judge of the vagaries and allurements
of the profession than persons on the
outside, and in their opinion ten years
is the average life of the person who
chooses the stage as profession.
This condition is more evident
among specially people than among
those who adhere to the beaten paths
| of legitimate drama. The latter field is
less exhausting, because it is less
| original than the former, and changes
| from one line to another are more cas-
lily brought about. The stock and trade
| of men and women on the variety stage
is originality, and when this endow-
| ment has been exhausted the resources
of the person cease unless he has sue

EXPENSIVE RABBITS.
The Costly Game Preserve of a Fa.
nous French Writer, and q
Neighbor's Trick

An amusing story is told by the Cour-
rier des Etats-Unis concerning Guy de
MaupaSsant, who once maintained
near his home a rabbit-warren of a
few acres in the midst of cultivated
fields. The enterprise was a source
of plentiful income to the Normandy
peasants, who took the opportunity
to plant choice vegetables in the ad-
joining fields. Then they demanded
large compensation for the alleged
damage done by their neighbours rab-
bits. Every year De Maupassant had
to pay heavily, and the peasants be-
gan to feel that a rabbit-warren was
an excellent neighbor.
After few years, however, the own
er of the warren began to grow tired
of the arrangement. He reckoned
that under the existing state of things
the few rabbits he shot cost him about
$50 each, which was rather too much.
even for an enthusiastic sportsman.
So he determined>to destroy the game
preserve.
It was not much trouble. There
were only four or five burrows in the
enclosure, and a few ferrets soon
killed all the occupants.
One night, after all the rabbits had
been destroyed, the owner happened
to visit his former preserve, and de.
tected a man skulking along under
the trees, with large bag on his back
De Maupassant at once jumped to the
conclusion that the man had come to
steal wood. When he challenged him,

leaving the back behind him. 1t was
found to be filed with rabbits of both
sexes.
The man was no thief, but neigh
Dor of the writer, who, shire vdly rea-
soning that there could be no more
damages if there were no rabbits, had
thought It advisable to restock the
warren.

Cheerfulness Is EssetiaI to Good
