But Savage is ready when you are?"
"I think So" the Californian said.
Savage is a fine fellow. He doesn't
know everything about music by any
means, but he knows what he likes and
takes you if he does like you, right on
the spot. There's no make believe writ
ing your name in book and telling
you to come round again in a week
or two He's yes or no. Those Thurs
day tryouts in New York! They're
frightful. Hordes of applicants wait
ing on the managers. You sing. They
don't listen. They whistle. The ac-
companist stops. They pretend to put
your name in a book. They tell you to
come round again in a week or two.
You know they mean nothing. They
know you know they mean nothing.
Yet the miserable stream goes on. It's
going yet. The trouble isl and the
singer stopped his dramatic recital to
slap the arm Of his chair for empha-
sis-"the trouble is that the managers
don't know. They prefer to take the
bad old person with a name to risk
ing anything on their judgment. They
are wise usually, for they haven't any"
But the Tivoli came to you," I in
terrupted.
Now, am I to say the Tivoli knows

he told me again how happy he was
going to be over his successful debut
when he was less tired, when the beam
was out of his eye, when the terror of
the thing had left him, when this and
that and the other happened, I babe
him good day.
