Leslie RiuaLs AIDE in Staying Queens English
STAGE HOME OF SLANG

Co-partner with George AIDE in the
manufacture of American slang, Bert
Leslie today declares that fancy
phraseology" is fit for stage purposes
alone, and in his conversation and
writing he seeks to attain a purity of
English that would make Addisons
ghost jealous. Mr.. Leslie is. spending
a week in Atlanta, appearing at the
Grand theater.
Years ago Leslie was a reporter on
The, Chicago Daily News At the same
time George AIDE was doing similar
work on the old Chicago Record. Slang
was then as popular in the Windy City
as Carter Harrison, and Leslie and AIDE
each strove to Guido each other in NAL
treating the English language. They
succeeded SO well that American slang
became an institution.
The whole success of slang on the
stage consists in it's novelty" said Les
lie. The moment slang expression
comes into common use about the
streets it loses it's novelty and the audi
enoe says how cheap and for this
reason slang factories have to work
overtime.
Practically ell of our slang origi-
mates on the stage, and it is sheer in
vention. An audience takes up an ex-
preston and in few days it is on the
lips of every newsboy in the city. Have
YOU ever known newsboy whom you
haven't heard say in disgust at some
companions stupidity, Sand your
tracks you're slipping Well, | sprang
that phrase nrst in Cleveland. The
next week a friend of mine sent me
letter saying: Here is a fresh bit of
slang which you might work into your
part 1t was the same expression.
You can not keep up with the de-
mand for slang. People yearn for a
new way of expressing an old thought,
and If you can give it a funny, yet east
ly Ineligible twist. they pick it up i'm
