How 1t Feels to Dodge s'Tf7e Hook

hopping about on one leg and dancing
away from that circle OF iron.
Pretty soon 1 got used to it and I

fellow with the hook was smiling broad
and going after me hard. but / was
dancing circles around him and the
audience was getting interested Pretty

4 LEARNED the step from Casey,
case on our block. l practiced it in
the barn until I became quite prof.
cient and added few other steps to
my accomplishment. At Is I awoke to
the fact that 1 was some clogger. 1
like to jig; it was born in me; I had
dancing feet that just couldn't keep
still.
I dropped dancing for while and
took to singing like a canary. My
voice was fair. but nothing extra. I
liked 1t, so what was the difference?
Six months in a shipping room made
me think somewhat of using the talents
that had been given me instead of my
hands. I became possessed of the idea
that I would make hit on the. vaude-
Vile stage as song and dance artist.
There was a fellow across the street in
that line, and he smoked cigarettes and
had a hot time. Why shouldn't I?
I did. My start was before a man
ager. I had slipped in unnoticed and
he said he liked my work. although
there wasn't much finish to it. That
was better than saying that he saw my
finish; so 1 went home and put in my
evenings getting the work down fine.
I knew that I'd accomplish it in a
couple of months and this time I tried
out with a regular theatrical employ
ment agency. 1 tried out until I was
tired out. It cost me 50 in money
and 5000 in time, but the employ
ment agency is an alluring place for
the amateur, and 1 was an amateur.
One morning 1 awakened to the fact
that the only way to get onto the
vaudeville stage was to get onto my

was for me. 1t takes little nerve
to think things over and decide to
blindfold yourself to self-respect and
get up on the amateur night and be
made a monkey of. I thought it over
for a week and then l made up my
mind that it was the best route open
to me. If I made good there I'd have
the face to face a manager and ask
him for anything.
