THERE is great difference in the conditions in act
ing in vaudeville in short sketch that takes about
twenty minutes, against forming part of play in
regular theater.
In the former must depend largely personality.
Of course in dancing something that is simply
pert or in what are called "dumb acts there being
speaking in Them the attention of the audience is held
by the performer skill rather than by his individuality;
but putting sketch over is different matter The
situation any of the He has of the
ronments of the big play to help him out, and there
fore must hold the attention by gripping and magnify
ing everything.
When the legitimate actor goes into vaudeville, he
is told practically that he must make good inside of
four minutes The large bulk of the audience will give
their attention for that time after the curtain goes up,
and can apparently make up their minds by some
mysterious process whether the actor and what he is
doing going to do will be of sufficient interest tor
them pay attention Then, if the of opinion
that neither he his sketch going to make good,
