TRYING TO PLEASE A VAUDEVILLE AUDIENCE

America as this?" And ne replies: "Ab-
solutely finer And your clientele is
it the same that have had in theatres
during my former visits?" Exactly
the same,' he tells me. Then l say to
him, 1--WE must have some posters ar
tistique and translations of my songs"
and he says to me with a bow: Ma
dame. it shall all be as you desire. +"
Then when l arrive, behold! it is all 30
different. The audiences cannot under
stand or appreciate my songs.
Once 1 say to a theatrical manager:
why do you not educate your public
with artistic posters and scenery and
surroundings" He laughs. do you
think we would try to educate the pub
lie in vaudeville?" he asks. What we
want is their money" Another man
ager says to me: do you think am in
this business to educate the public? |
am after the publics money, and when
l get enough 1 am going over to Europe
to live
The American managers tell one,
when you ask them how they dare to
give some of the worthless plays that
they do, "Oh, the American man who
has just finished his days work. he is
too tired to be able to think again, and
which he will not have to work his
brain" What must the American be
who can sit satisfied under the idiocy
that is offered to him from the stage
here? But it is only phase of the
American routine. You kill your time.
There is a difference between the Amer
lean work and the French. In the
Louvre or the Bon Marche the only per-
sons who complain of the amount of
work they have to do are the Ameri-
can Interpreters. II you come into a
business Office here you see the men
without their coats, and with sleeves
rolled up. The same business will he
done by Europeans in a quiet way, and
dressed as if for the salon. The work
here, it is a bluff. You do not find the
lazy rocking chair in a Paris office.
Over here the moment you show con-
science or a sense of duty you become a
bore.
You are always measuring the COM
mercial value of things. 1 pick up the
newspaper and what do see? "Yester-
day in $4,000 fire was killed a man"
The Boston opera house is opened.
What is said? "Boston's 81. 900, 900 opera
house is opened" The New theatre,
which is meant to be identified with the
new artistic development, is referred to
as ''the millionaires' theatre" On a
billboard I see the invitation: Come
and see the $1,000 actor"
But what amazed me the other day to
see in front of the Brooklyn opera house
a board calling attention to a bargain
matinee" Fancy basgain matinee of
OPERA Another thing that struck me
as funny was to see a brand of cigars
advertised as costly looking There
was nothing mentioned about their
quality. But what do you rare about
that?

it, nothing less than disgraceful. AS
