Modern Minstrelsy
A Big Enterprise

There are probably few theater-gCers
who appreciate the size OF a minstrel
organization like Lew Dockstader's S
Considering the number of its mem
bers, and the variety Of entertainment
which they furnish. 1T might with more
correctness be called an amusement en-
terprise rather than a minstrel COM
pany. It IS larger than most opera
companies, and yet, unlike the adver-
Users Of an operate company, refer
ence is rarely made 70 its size Dock
stader's company numbers between six
ty-five and seventy. There are half a
dozen comedians. as many vocal solo
lists, a chorus OF ten voices, twenty
five dancers, and an orchestra of TWEEN
ty-one instruments. Besides these, there
is a business staff and a stage staff Of
about ten in all Unlike the minstrels
of old, an immense scenic equipment
is carried for the various acts pre-
scented under Dockstader's direction. It
requires two siXty-foot baggage cars to
carry the scenery, properties, and other
accessories. by no means a small item
in these days of high railroad rates
and Interstate Commerce objection TO
rebates. There are no small chorus
girl salaries in the weekly salary list.

Comedians Masks
Are for Students

The mask Of the comedian" says
Raymond Hitchcock. should be worn
by a student. To my mind there is no
branch Of the art Of mimicry that de-
mands so much of an actor as comedy.
Low comedy is undoubtedly the most
difficult 20 play, though It is really at
tempted. by more people than the
lighter, higher style. This is not
strange inasIAuch as Il is easier 10
be funny when the lines of a good
humoris. are placed in the players
mouth. than to be easy on the stage in
a serious role,
There is something more IN the art Of
a true low comedian than merely being
funny A clown is funny, but he is not
"a comedian. Horseplay. acrObatic
monkey business and facial distortions,
netter known as mugging, are very
often productive Of roars Of laughter
from audiences, but you can't place
them in the category of dramatic art.
They are nothing more or less than a,
type OF Glowing 10 which no true

known as low comedians Was there

opera OF the 'Mascs tie type was re
sponsible for much Of this clowning.
There was little or nothing in the story
Of the opera that would tickle the risi-
bilities Of an audience. Even the best
OF comedians can do nothing with role
that Is absolutely barren of charac1r
and comedy.
Real low comedy runs the gamut of
all the emotions. and the player must

Career of Foy
Foil of Incidents

- The early career Of Eddie Foy, the
comedian, who has scored such a dis
unct success in the English musical
comedy, The orchid" which is TO be
seen here tomorrow was indeed a novel
one. F'oy is peculiar In more ways than
one.
His name Is Edward Fitzgerald, and
his ancestors We're Irish for many gen
erations back. His father was a tailor
in New York, when Eddie first saw
light.
My life is sewed up in stirring in
eidents, " said Mr.. Foy. II have been III

had holes shot through my clothes IN
Dodge City when I was playing a black
face sketch there in the days when the
bad men had full sway. Even our
return TO Chicago had a tragedy con
Hected with it. When we were re-
dUCed to poverty a second time by the
big fire and mad lived with fifty or
more other refugees in a church for a
week or two, my mother decided TO
move to New York. taking advantage
of the Erie rail Dads Offtr TO carry fire
sufferers free
II was after the FitzgeIaIds returned
TO Chicago that Eddie became a pro-
fessional actor. He took the name OF
FOy because it was shorter than FItz-
gerald, and he had relatives named
Foy. Having learned to dance I'm the
streets with the natural aptitude Of the
Irish for fancy steps, he paired up with
a partner named Thompson, and for
eight or nine years toured the country
in a blackfdce song and dance, under
the team name of Foy & Thompson.
FOy then Joined Kelley & Mason in
musical comedy called The Tigers"
and the following season signed for two
years with George S. Knight, who was
conducting a stock company in San
Francisco. In The company at that time
was Maude Adams, Jeffreys Lewis, Ed
ward Buckley, and Frank Mordauns.
