Not a Matter of Caste, But Question
of Making Good"

An actress Of some prominence in the
profession wrote, the other day, to a
New York newspaper that devotes con-
siderable of its space to dramatic doings,
and she asked whether or not an actor
or actress loses caste by going on the
vaudeville stage. She explained that
owing to personal reasons she was I'M
able 20 accept an engagement at the
time when people were being secured
for the present seasons productions. 50
that now she is practically at liberty for
the rest, or a good part Of, the season.
She said she had been offered an en-
gagement in vaudeville. but delayed &C
cepting for fear her reputation on the
legitimate stage would suffer
In an editorial discussing the communi-
cation the paper stated that there has
not becn a single instance where an
actor in the legitimate mas lost caste
by temporarily going into vaudeville.
The salary I'm most cases has been
larger IN vaudeville than in any other
line Of work, and scores Of the best
known and highest priced stars on the
stage today have been recruited from
the ranks OF the vaudeviiliaus
Many stick to vaudeville who might
go into the legitimate. because Of the
surer income and easier work Others
who have gone over to the legitimate
ranks are able TO command their pres
ent salaries because Of the reputation
won on the vaudeville stage.

everyone conceded that sue always gave
a very charming performance. it was not
expected that a singer should show
marked ability as an actress
But now IL appears that FritzTs act
