pretty fiddler was trying out but it
recognized in her the peculiar gift of
reality. She was there" We did not
know just who she was, but she

her bookings over the circuit were thus
justified by the crowd.

the theatrical profession; the players

of other days who still remember the
time when they supported Modjeska, or
were a great hit in THE Mikado," or
that they once carried a spear when
Booth was in his glory and acting
rather than plays or stars was the
thing. Also come the weary, footsore
and still undaunted who have written
a sketch and carried its priceless beau
ties from booking agent to booking
agent, always to be turned down.
Likewise there comes. but rarely, an
act that has been overlooked in the
theatrical struggle for existence. and
the agents in the house may be seen
scurrying back on the stage to tempt
the successful one with offers of time
and money. This. however, did not

Tuesday night spent at the Chutes the
ater is worth your while. The audience
will give you lessons in esthetics and
in the art of criticism. It's verdicts are
absolutely final That is, they are final
in respect to the. proper fate of the
presentation. but by no means final to
the actor-if the judgment is adverse.
The act Immediately preceding the
violin girl is a case in point. 1t was
very bad indeed. Worse than anything
I've seen for long time. Indeed, it
was so bad that the audience forgot it's
decorum and became derisive, which
was at once impolite and ungalfant,
for the players were ladies.

protean artist on the regular bill.
There was a quizzica1 smile on his face.
He felt what was about to happen. I
had seen the ladies before they ap-
peared on the stage, and / was un-
happy for them. They had told me
about themselves, how their relatives
from Vallejo were out in the audience.
and how they were getting their first
chance on the vaudeville stage. "Of
course" they assured me, I'VE are pro-
fessionals, but up to the present we
have appeared only in concert work"

seats in the audience and take in the
situation from the formal point of view.
A motherly presence appears. You
feel that ambition has gone astray in
her. You instinctively think of a.
Vallejo home presided over by a
kindly, sweet soul who rarely goes to
the theater, thinks little Of footlight
frivolities. and who spends her valu-
able moments over the stove, cooking
wonderful dishes for husband and her
boys. They are out in the audience
watching her now. Her eyes are con-
cealed by dark glasses. That means
that she is the blind street singer.
Two wonderful ropes of blond tresses
fall from a wig of painfully curled
hair and, falling over her shoul-
ders, worry her hands and get in the

late to be growing from that head.
