Managers can tell other instances Of the
u~nreliability Of the musical deadhead,
One night a manager had papered his
house so carefully that it should ha We looked
as il it held at least $1,000. 1t had been
30 well selected, too, that there was certain
TO be just the right kind of enthusia SIN
The audience was ideal as q collection Of
deadheads. 1t began to rain, however,
at ] o'clock.

or course, they would all have turned
out if they had paid their money for the
tickets, but because there happened to be
a slight shower, they all stayed home and
threw me down. They argued that the
tickets had cost them nothing, and they
lost no money by staying at home. The
result was an empty house for me. / could
not be expected to send cabs around to
collect them. The chances are that even
then they would have said it was too wet"
The deadhead who comes to a concert
sometimes shows q lack of knowledge Of
what is expected of him, that is little short
Of devilish. For this reason a manager
must be very careful of the kind of artists
he engages to support his star. A little
girl pianist gave her first concert with a
dience literally stampeded to the baritone
n nothing could bring it back. The
intervals during which the little girl played
were by general understanding taken as
the roper time for conservation. This
miscarriage OF the managers intention
was partly due to the fact that he had sent
most of his deadhead tickets to singing
teachers. They had passed them over
as usual to their pupils, who had no earthly
Use for a piano FOUNDER. They succeeded
in giving that impresario a great deal Of
trouble. The girls father, who wa a
shrewd old German, threatened TO sue the
manager for damages and did keep back
half Of the fee he had promised II the con-
cert was O success.
Isn't it q shame that such a pest ferrous
ungrateful critter as the musical dead
head should be growing more numerous
every sea son," said an agent who had been
through his experience with this type OF
the musical CRATER. 'He does seem to
in exactly the proportion that
concerts grow more frequent. He cannot
even behave himself when an entertain
ment is a~vowedly given in his honor.
only a few days ago a piano firm gave a
concert at which the tickets were ali free.
None was sold, and every man, woman and
child present was invited. In order to
his appreciation Of this compliment
the company that had brought him |

and told him that / thought he would find
1t rather a heavy proposition for a gay
party; that it was better suited to a tableau,
but he was obdurate and his face actually
grew ten years younger whom he got into
that outfit, in which he shook around like
a pea in a pod. He brandished the sword,
strobe about the little shop and held his
head up as if he had some claim to royalty
even il he did live in Mount Vernon.
After a while, however, he admitted
that the weight was rather overpowering
and said that he would take my advice and
go in the character of Mephisto instead.
So l fitted him out with some red elk tights
in which his legs looked like billiard cues,
a pair OF cloven hoofs. a long tail tied in q
knot and some horns.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-04-22

that SO many concerts were given purely
for purposes OF advertisement. The great.
est harm has been lone in the case Of the
orchestras. There are many men and
women OF musical taste who would rather
hear the Hoboken Permanent Orchestra
for nothing than pay for the concerts of the
philharmonic n the Boston Symphony.
The Hoboken Permanent Orchestra and
the Circassian symphony Orchestra, de-
voted exclusively to, the playing Of Circas-
sian music, are fairly good organizations.
They CONT to New York to play and the
house is full Of deadheads, while nobody will
buy tickets
The cussedness Of the concert dead
head is frequently amusing to all but those
interested in the affair. Last winter an
impresario wanted to introduce a violinist
who had plenty of money to spend for a
a large hall and was afraid to trust to an
afternoon concert, as it might be difficult
to fill, it with the kind of a crowd he
wanted to secure.
So he engaged the hall for the evening
and sent his tickets broadcast. He
adopted q common device of theatrical
managers in former days and sent his
tickets to department stores and the big
insurance companies downtown. The re-
suit was @ packed house.
I'm going to have an enthusiastic crowd,
too" he sal 1, mot the blase musical dead
heads. This man will start tonight with
such a sendof as will carry him to Cali
~fornia."
The audience arrived. 1t lacked nothing
in respect to numbers. 1t was an eager,
interested gathering and the faces Of the
oldtime grafters were missing. AS usual,
there was an orchestra with a popular
conductor to assist the soloist.
Now, this manager, enterprising as he
was, had made one bad mistake. He had
assembled an audience altogether un-
musical. He should have ~leavened the
lump with a few persons able to appre-
date. the playing of the yiolinist. They
could have guided the applause.
As it was, the ~deadheads didn't care a
hang about the viollnist. How he played
Bach was q matter Of profound indifference
to them; but they did love the band and
the leader. They shouted whenever he
appeared and they tried to make him play
so many encores that the ~violinist would
never have had a chance The conductor
realized the situation, however, and played
as little as possible. He had a great send
of that night. however. The v%iolinist, on
the other hand, got scarcely a bit of APP
plause, and 1t took all the ushers in the
house to get him back for Q bow.

children and was a devoted father and
husband.
i deduced that latter fact from the con-
feesion he made that in all his married life
he had never been away from home but
one night, and on that occasion he was de-
tanned by unavoidable business concerning
his bookkeeping, for which he was not to
blame. He stayed on that interesting and
unique occasion at the. Astor House. the
downtown place, he fastened to assure
me, and said that they treated him fine.
His wife belonged to a progressive
euchre club in the place OF his adoption,
and once a year the members gave a func-
ton Of one kind or another. Last winter
1t was an oyster supper, with games after
ward, and this year they gave a costume
party. He called it a party.
Now, l am coming to the interesting
part Of my narrative. l showed him a lot
OF costumes in the cases and wardrobes, for

see that merrymaking didn't come any

thing in the line of Henry VIII. or Mephis-
topheles.
Il didn't crack a smile, but the thought
OF that Little anaamio b~ookkeeper who had
never spent a night away from wife and
who lived in Mount Vernon appearing az
King Hal, or even his Satanic Majesty, |
almost too much for me-almost, not
quite, for il l had not learned to take people
