The Office Of the State superintend-
ent of public schools is prepared to
furnish plans and specifications for
school buildings or four rooms or less
to experimenting school committees
desiring to make use of the same.
Plans for two different styles of one
room and two-room buildings are avail
BILE and for a single style of three
room and four-room buildings. The
sets of blue prints are neatly bound to-
Sether and will be found to meet the
needs of contradictory in all respects. The
specifications furnished are in a print
ed phamphlet form and are unusually
complete.
A law passed by the last Legisla-
ture provides that such plans shall be
made available to committees by the
state superintendent of schools. Com
mittees desiring TO erect new buildings
from plans of their own must first
submit the plans for the approval of
the State superintendent of schools

If vaudeville ever collapses in this
vaudeville loving community, it will
be because the supply of sensations
will run out and because the vaudeville
purveyors can not maintain their own
standard of unusual and strange and
startling acts.
The public's indifference to the press
agents pleas was shown" said Miss
Bolton, when the big vaudeville war
was on. Stars famous on the legiti-
mate stage were imported by the rival
managers and paid enormous salaries
which they did not earn. The public
in vaudeville didn't accept them unless
they made good in this department of
public amusements. Their training un-
fitted many of them for the rapid fire
of a vaudeville turn where you do not
have two hours to land your prize but
only 15 or 20 minutes"
In short the vaudeville audiences
didn't care a tinker's bad word what
they had been nor how much the mis-
guided managers were paying them to
keep them from the rival vaudeville
houses.
Many of the high priced acts in
vaudeville" continued the little philos-
opher, serve only as lures to get peo-
pie into the house. Prima donna acts
are .headlined and supply the publicity
department with much material to
write about; and so the people go to
see or hear these stars, but remain to
enjoy the cheaper acts, and go away
remembering them, too.
That is why there is SO much jeal-s
ousy among vaudeville players. The
veterans and the big ones feel the in
justice of the situation when youth
and inexperience get the applause and
the curtains against their superior
knowledge. A skit may give a young
ster just the one opportunity he needs
to show off the few tricks of individ-
uality that constitute his stock in
trade; and the player with a single
trick may beat the player with whole
box full, provided the trick is new Tt
may be a capacity to whistle with lips
unpuckered, or making strange noises,
or doing funny fall; but whatever it
is If it is new its owner will be hit

in New York-all this has happened
since the fire. Mr.. Bulger, who had
written this sketch. Swat MilIigan,'
was looking for a player who could
look like his ragamuffin in the skit and
still be old enough to act. The role
was intrusted to me with misgivings
all around. Bulger had never seen me

misgivings concerning them. She
would not discuss any phase of her

That's vaudeville in a nutshell. isn't
1T? This little Vienna roll, mean
Bolton, is the kernel of the system, and
the symbol Of its characteristics.
Vaudeville accepts nobody just because
they were somebody. 1t has no illu-

plays 10 favorites, unless they com.

during the second week, and folks wish
they would give place to something
new" Vaudeville is like the leaves

,lently opposed, so one day left my
happy home in San Jose, where L had
been a high school girl, and came to
San Francisco. l did this quietly be-
cause my mother would never have con-
sented. She refused to believe that
was grown up (Can you blame her?)
and kept on forgetting that 1 was a
young lady. Every time she bought
my clothes her conviction was sus-
tanned, for she had to buy me gar
ments made for 10 or II year old girls,
and then they didn't fit exactly. I real
ize that it must have been hard for
mother to appreciate under those cir
cumstances what a big girl she had
raised. So 1 came up here and wrote
her where I was. First I went to work
in a store, as soon as I had persuaded
the boss that ] was old enough to make
change correctly and assume the bored
and superior manner affected by many
salesladies. When I had given my
mother this demonstration of my abil-
ity to take care of myself in spite of
my littleness I returned to San Jose
and joined the Redmond stock company
there, making my brave debut in The
Fatal Wedding Then 1 went on the
road for little while and was one of

the little lady who made the big hit
just how she did it. Since she had
achieved success she surely would be
able to examine it and anaIyze it and
tell all about it. An interesting specu-
lation suggested itself at once when
the unadvertised but triumphant
youngster and the much exploited but
defeated heroine were conjured up in
consecutive thought.
& TRsT, before we begin talking to
Miss Bolton, let me get over my
surprise about her age. was
amazed when she opened her dressing
room door 10 be addressed by full
voiced utterance. She told the maid to
place chair at my disposal in voice
carrying the infection and manner of
a woman. There was no piping note
of childhood in her tones. Her voice
was deep. resonant and matured. How
old are you?" asked politely to begin
a conversation and end doubt
Il lnger in the vicinity of 20" said
she.
You may tell the maid she may re-
main" said I, always careful about the
proprieties.
Imagine talking to a 20 year old
young woman about as big as 10 year
old girl. dressed in the tatters of
street urchin. with torn brown stock
ing slipping indiscreetly toward her
heel, and her toes sticking out of gap
ing shoes. Then imagine such little
vagabond behaving like a school teach
er, but occasionally remembering those
rebellious stockings and tugging them
back to place and pulling at her rag
ged skirt whose confidential disclosures
were eked out frankly by many rents
She talked like a lady in a drawing
room and looked like an urchin doing
handsprings around in an alley. If I
forgot myself and talked to her as one
speaks to child was rebuffed by her
replies of grown up caliber. It was
quite uncanny till 1 got used to it.
Miss Bolton is not dwarf nor mid
get, but just little woman cast in
small mold physically. She is not
feminine Peter Pan with juvenile
heart and mind, but sophisticated, and,
she confided, addicted to the embrace
of corsets.
IA ISS BOLTON is quite new to the
AN atricaIs and newer still to that
branch of them called vaudeville.
Wherefore she speaks guardedly to in

HEY didn't even put her name
on the billing when swat
MiIigan" was booked at the
Orpheum two Sundays ago.
That showed that nobody ex-
Dected Miss Vienna Bolton was going
20 twinkle. twinkle like a little star.
Nevertheless she made the individual
hit Of the program. In all bat height
and amplitude she was more than an
equal with her associates on two bills
and won the honors against all comers,
though nobody seemed to know much
about her-who she was. where she
came from and least of all. how old
she might be. took Miss Vienna Boil
ton to be young miss in the neigh
, aorhood Of dolls and about the age Of
- u. and suspected that she was being
accompanied at her expense BY her
parents. whose plentiful leisure was
devoted mainly in beseeching provi-
dence to keep their small hopeful ever
young. Imagine my surprise, then.
when the young lady assured me that
she was in the immediate vicinity Of a
hfth OF a century.
At once the skepticsl will say that
the woman who admits to 20 years is
more than that. do not think so in
this case. Miss Bolton appeared to be
ashamed 10 be so old and yet so tiny.
OF the stage this little imp of the base
ball skit is a most circumspect young
lady. speaking precisely in San Jose
high school English. which is very.
luxurious garden English, believe me,
and she chooses her words as carefully
IS a Boston miss. She can not be given
to hbbing.
In dark contrast with the unknown's
immediate success. there was, at the
orDheum last week, as you viii know
II you were there, a failure as iTnu1e-
diate and quite as surprising. The
success was unheraided, unboomed and
unldentifed. The failure had been
blazoned in advance as "a vaudeville
triumph" 1t had been praised through
every channel Of publicity that great
institution could control, affect or in
auenoe. Just the same the failure was
MARKED down by the Orpheum audience
and no cognizance was taken of the
columns Of clippings that preceded the
lady in The Agitator."
Here then, thought to myself. was
. me opportunity to get at the root of
s4ndeville success and md out from
