Thousand Dollars for q Sketch

THE announcement made the other
day that Mr.. and Mrs. Gene
Hughes, who long have been con-
spicuous in vaudeville, have begun
playing sketch for which they paid
$1,000 draws attention to the fertile
field titled by the men and the women
that write sketches for vaudeville.
Possibly the people that make most
money out Of writing for the vaudeville
stage are Will M. Cressy, George Tot
ten Smith, Ezra Kendall and Herbert
Hall Winslow. Edmund Day ought to
get into this list, too. Not only was his
one-act playlet, "The Sheriff." in which
he played his inimitable fat man, a
great success, but he has broadened
this same sketch out into regular
comedy. James Barnes already has
done the same thing with his clever
skit, 1.-THE Chorus Lady" in which Rose
Stahl now is appearing, after a Euro
pean tour.
VIII Cressy has written some clever
sketches, not only for himself and his
wife, Blanche Dayne, but for other
players Jack Tucker and his wife,
Eva Williams, together have written
some Of the best slang sketches seen
Oil lHc Nduu6Nlllo SldS6, dIlQ IHey get
high prices for any work that they care
to do Ezra Kendall not only writes
his own monologues but his practiced
hand is to be seen in all the comedies
in which he has appeared, although the
authorship of those comedies has been
ascribed on the playbills to others. He
wrote "The Halfway House for Mr.
and Mrs. FISHER. George M. Cohan has
written some clever vaudeville sketches
Trimming for Office" and 1.-THE Gov
ernor's Son"-two musical pieces that
afterward became regular plays, first
were seen as vaudeville stunts. George
Ade began his writing for the stage by
doing odds and ends Of sketch work,
and no later than this season he has
written sketch for one of his friends
who wanted to go into vaudeville.
A sketch that amounts to anything
at all sells easily for $3.50 to 5000, but
the wise man or woman who writes
sketches let's them out on royalty. A
clever actor or actress with a small
and inexpensive supporting company
often gets $500 or $400 week from the
vaudeville managers. If the Sketch
writer is wise in his day and genera
ton he will frame up some sort OF q
royalty arrangement such as many of
the old timers do. They then are as
sured of an income of $50 or $50 or $50
a week. This comes in handy, espe-
cially as the good vaudeville acts have
no trouble in getting long time.

by going down before Quincy in the
closing game of the series. to 2. BY
careless base running in the eighth
they lost lone chance to win, and
loose fielding in the ninth gave Quincy
the chance needed to cinch a victory.
The opening the locals had in the next

made winning easy. They threw the
chance away by both Foster and Mise

the result would have been different.
