TAKES LEADING ROLE
AT A MOMENTS NOTICE
UTILITY MANS SWEET TENOR
WINS APPLAUSE
"PrInce Of PIIsen" Audience Does Not
Know That Substitute Takes
the Place of William
Weldon

Opportunity is oft times the big stepping
stone that leads to success, and this is
especially true in the theatrical business.
At the Mason opera house this week,
where the tuneful Prince of Pilsen'' is
being sung to crowded houses, this say
ing has proved true.
On Monday night the leading tenor of
the company. William Weldon, received a
wire from Henry w. Savage to join The
Merry Widow company in New York,
and he was compelled to leave early Tues
day morning.
This hurry-up order caused little or no
inconvenience to Manager Shaw, who inn
mediately turned over the part to young
Robert Mallory, who heretofore was
known professionally as the utility
man." which means member of the COM
pany who at a moments notice Is called
on to do almost anything in the show,
from handling wardrobe to singing lead
ing roles, and when not actively engaged
in these duties takes his place in line with
the other members of the chorus.
With Savage Four Years
Young Mallory has been with Savage
nearly four years and has long been
watching for the opportunity when he
would be called on to do something better.
he knew llldl llo was liiC poooSooOi VI -
good singing voice, and was only waiting
for that chance that sometimes comes for
member of the chorus to show what
they can do, so the pleasure this young
man realized when given leading role
can better be imagined than described.
When the curtain went up Tuesday night
no one in the audience knew of any
change being made, as it was not SO
marked in the program and the big
rounds of applause that greeted this
sweet-voiced tenor after singing "The
Message of the Violets'' must have filled
his cup of JOY to overlooking, and the ap-
plause was well merited, for while the
song has been heard here a number of
times it probably was never sung with
better effect or more feeling.
1t is understood that Mr.. Savage is
sending on a new tenor to take the place
of Mr. Weldon; if so this new member
had best look we'll to his laurels, and Mr.
Savage should not lose sight of this
young singer who amply proved worthy
the name given him, utility man." fol-
some day the same kind of a message will
| come to him with an offer to sing prin-
cipal role in some big production.
