Putting Vaudeville Show Together

BY WILL M. CRESSY

A railroad system is not run on any
closer schedule than vaudeville show
is. Every week there Is an entirely new
show coming into the housc-elght acts
of which the local manager knows
nothing: but every Sunday the overture
starts at a certain minute and tho final
curtain drops every Sunday afternoon at
precisely the same moment
And this final result. of that curtain S
falling at o'clock every Sunday after
noon, Is the elimination OF system
OF forethought and figuring that began
months ago; that may have been started
wears ago In eight different countries.
For vaudeville bill at one OF the Or
pheum houses Is recruited from every
point Of the earth. Martin Beck, the gen
cral manager has his representatives In
every country and any vaudeville artist
on earth who has an entertaining act to
present Is sure OF being seen at some
time on the Orpheum circuit
Each Of these acts is hooked in the
first place on what Is termed blanket
a term Of twenty. thirty. forty or per-
haps fifty weeks-but there is not a
stated route Issued at this time. In this
first contract the artist stated what his
act consists OF. how much stage room
he requires. what scenery he requires
or carries, and exactly how much time
the presentation of his act requires.
Next. these contracts are all brought

gin Sitting and sorting them over TO
pick out eight acts that Will work to-
gethcr In way TO make a satisfactory
Orpheum show. There must be the
proper variety and the combined time
of the different acts must make n total
Of Just many minutes. Some acts will
run short as four minutes, others will
cover twenty-five minutes. Eight four
minute acts would never do any better
than eight twenty Ave minute acts
would.
The first act 10 be picked out is the
Opening act" Owing to the inevitable
late comers in the audience II is q waste
of time TO put on any act that depends
on being heard. so that what is called
a "slght act' is usually assigned TO this
dreaded position. that is, an acrobatic
act, or an animal act-something that
can be seen while the late corners are
being seated. AS this act invariably re-
quircs the full size OF the stage, the next
act to be picked out is one that appears
in "one"; that is, In front of the cur
tain that hangs nearest 10 the footlights.

her people and prove to the king their
love for her, agrees TO ride naked

ride is indicated in an intermeZzo, said
to be one of the most spirited ever
written by the spirited Mascagni. All
the townsmen have gone to their homes

opera, which shows a balcony overlook

has seen Ysobel start on her ride, and
the ride itself is then described in the
iutermezzo, which suggests the ringing
of the bells and the tramp of the
horses hoofs on the cobblestones. At
the climax of the intermeZZo, the tenor
bursts forth onto the balcony, consumed
by love for Ysobel, and polts her with
great quantities Of roses. The final
act climax is dramatic in the extreme,
