The unprecedented success of vaude.
Vile In this country, both from fin
ancial and an artistic standpoint and
the great number of desertions of
noted actors and actresses from the le.
gitimate to the vaudeville stage, has
opened up wide .ista of speculation
asto the probable outcome of it all, and
the reasons for the present trend of the
times. Mr., Aautfman, manager OF
Senorita Paulata Sherman, the highest.
paid vaudeville artistic in America,
who will be seen and heard mere soon
as head-liner with bill of oil star
vaudeville was recently bombarded
with number of these queries, and
his replies were the most illuminating
yet offered
In the first place." he explained,
vaudeville is but another name for
variety, and variety ia what the people
of America want and demand. They
want amusement and entertainment,
and they want enough Of EACH kind,
not too mach OF any one kind, and the
best of all kinds. Only vaudeville can
supply that variety.
Every vaudeville bill of merit has
dramatic or comedy sketch, a singer
of merit, dancer musical team,
and usually the bill has an acrobat
each master of his own art. Then
there is always novelty act, and
plenty of novelty with each act.
Vaudeville rids the stage of excess
baggage. A musical comedy must
have large chorus, which is its most
expensive and most useless part. Vaus
deville can have one, two or three
girls more attractively costumed and
more beautiful to look upon than a
chorus, with better voices, newer songs,
and who are better all around artists,
"A play must be padded with lines,
situations and characters to fill out an
evenings entertainment A vaude.
vile sketch is all meat, it is a play
without the padding; sharp, incisive,
sprightly in action, rapid and filled
with good dialogue, and with all this
saving between the two, in favor OF
vaudeville. Each vaudeville act can
afford to have the best artist to pres
ent 1t, the best costumes and the best
vehicle. There are enough vaudeville
houses in the country to prevent repe,
tition of one act in one house for eight
years
In other words, it takes good
vaudeville act eight years to complete
the. e.circuit of vaudeville houses, thus
each act, IL it is good, is good for eight
years and manager can afford to
work upon each act to bring IL up to
its highest standard when he knows
that ii it ID a success 1t will stand for
at least eight years without a single
return engagement in a single house.
Can the same be said of the average
legitimate play or musical affair?
These are some of the reasons why
this is the golden age of the vaudeville
and there are many other good ones. I"

The first.of the contemplated annua.
exhibits of poultry by the Holmes
County Live Stock and Poultry Associ-
alton was held at Rayner's Hall, in
this city, on Monday and Tuesday of

from this source to pay all the expenses

were on view there as were seen at the
