The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-01-31

'The kiss may look good from down front. but there's the line of talk l get handed out to me every time l try to kiss one of those widows:
 Don't you dare to tear this gown, or I'll have you settle the bill out of your own salary
 "PPeople who applaud may envy me and may think they know something about osculations, but they don't know the bangs of anguish in stage ?lIissinS. My song is supposed to be A Kiss for Each Day in the Week. but l certainly have to work overtimes. There are eight days in all my weeks.
 Figure it out for yourself. Six kisses to each chorus and five encorsc. There's thirty-siX kisses. Seven performances a week means two hundred and ffty-tWo kisses. Fancy anyway. kissing pretty girl on d ladder or on stilts. Instead ot getting sympathy from the widows, though, when try to balance myscH on stilts and look pleading for kiss, gill murmurs, sotto voice:
 Look out you're going over Don't you dare grab my dress.
 "I suppose these widows gowns arc about the most expensive punches Of loveliness a press agent ever wrote about
 but it's a shame to put them in q kissing song. especially when they get kisses 50 tall you have to use stilts and ladders T hear about tAse gowns all through the song, and when manage to escape to the wings after five encores. I fall into the hands of the wardrobe woman, who insists upon my specially being cut out because she can't have $3O,00O worth of chiffon, and hand embroidery ruined for few laughs.
 Bring on the fellows who say I have snap. Kisses are all right, but for mine let's cut out the glare of the foot lights and bunch of widows who think more of their swell gowns than they do of the opportunity of being kissed by me"
