On these awful occasions used to keep up running
conversation any sort of topic, just to tighten the
gloom of the proceedings But it elected any
thing from the treasurer. The awful power OF money
seemed to hold him in its grip and he could not come
down to anything ordinary commonplace. And, pos

you to notice the man coming just behind

This illustrates what l said about the
vaudeville performer. He does not waste
time or energy in dreams. His is a trade,
and he is making trade of it, and is very
contented with it. The other man is getting
neither his ambitions nor any money; but
is living on air and hopes.

Henry Miller told me once that the first
time the vaudeville manager came in and
threw fifteen hundred dollars down on the
dresser as if it were a quarter, and with a
sparkling and delightful smile asked for his
signature, he, Miller, even with all the re-
sources of his art brought to bear on the
situation, found it impossible to "get into

to the manager, Il can't count this now.

The unfailing courtesy of the men in the

without exception after the very first perform
