: 81 had a friend" said Bernard, who
sailed for Europe recently on ole of the
big German liners. I went over to Hoboker
to bid him bon voyage. On my way back
to the New York ferry / passed. an old
building, the sight of which recalled the
most amusing experience of my twenty
two years on the stage, and, likewise, my
first engagement for real money. 1t was
called the 'Kronheim Varieties. Admission
to the theater was to be had for rhe small
sum of 10 cents, and, instead of giving
you back a trading stamp in exchange, as
is the modern tendency, they gave you a
brass check, which entitled you to a glass
of beer.
THE entertainment consisted of i've acts
Each performer was supposed to contribute
two acts My brother Dick and l. mas
much as we were young and ambitious,
were allowed to do two double turns and
a single. In other words, we were to do
the entire bill Of five acts. Dick first went
on and gave an imitation of Pat Rooney.
TWEEN | went on and we did an Irish and
Dutch team act, and then biackface act.
And then we made another change and did
another act on the line of Harrigan and
Hart, and also were prepared to put on
two sketches, 'Fhe Little Fraud and The
Lackawanna Spooners.' OF course the two
acts depended on the encouragement given
us by the audience. The man who ran
the piece was a very odd character, and,
instead of having performer sign a con-
tract, he would have him sign his name in
a book and the salary he would receive
immediately beneath it. This served in
lieu OF a contract.
HE asked me my salary, and l. think

front and said, Twenty dollars Put II

write my name and salary Whereupon I
wrote Bernard Brothers, $40 He didn't

These gifts were recognized by his parents,
who wisely determined that they should be
cultivated in an intelligent way. When a
young man Jou1net matriculated in the

One of the first of the celebrities to hear
Gourmet sing was Calabresi, who engaged
him for a season of grand opera in the

Intended. Five years ago Gourmet made his
first visit to America, coming over as a

as it had been on the other side of the
