those crazy actors had taught him
to do eight weeks before at Kan

I looked around, naturally, for
Billy.
But my question was antlei-

calm, subdued tone Of voice:
Billy is dead. He caught pneu-

sick only three days. We did not
miss a performance. The funeral
was in the morning. Everybody
on the bill came, and there were
about twenty actors or more

The hit was such a big one that
it was repeated the next day, and
then the Humane Society got
busy and put on the kibosh.
The week went through-for
even vaudeville weeks have a fin
ish-and parted with my friends
on the bill, shaking hands, kiss
ing the babies, exchanging pho
tographs, promising to write.
Like Brothers.
But before I parted with my
friends of the black-face act, the
lady in the case explained to me
that Billy was her own sure
enough baby, but the other was
her sisters child. The mother
had passed away. and with al
most her last breath had given
the baby boy into her sisters
keeping. Buster and Billy, prac-
tically brothers. were to be
brought up and educated togeth-
er When they were big enough
they were to be sent to school
and be taught to work and be
useful. None of this actor bust
ness for them-not much!
So we parted, there on the side

1O:45 Sunday night. The trio
made my car wait while they sang

at my watch, I saw that there was
time for a glass of milk and
dish OF strawberries. So I mosied
into the lunch room, and what
would you believed there, lined
up at the lunch counter, saw
the black-face act--the man, his
wife and the handsome helper.

Out on the Stage.

We were afraid to start them on
the stage together from one side.
So Beulah took Buster around TO
the left and I had Billy on the
right, where they could see each
other across the stage. And while
the father and mother were doing
the tango we started the kids out
on their artistic career.
When they toddled out in front
of the footlights there was a great
hush fell on the audience, then a
roar of delight went up that shook
the star-spangled dome.
1t stopped the tango. and near
ly busted the show. But the ae-
tors were equal to the occasion.

through the mad dance as never

I noticed that the lady, off the

And the funny part was that
she had two little boys-babies,
in fact-one aged two and the
other not much older. One they
called Billy and the other was
Buster.
When the mother went on she
left the babies in the care Of an

colored person, otherwise those
babies would have crawled up
stairs ad waddled out on the stage
and performed little act of their
own.
But it was not long before there
were volunteer nurses, for Beu-

Then it was that Beulah had a

We would send the nurse out on
an errand, while the act went on,

two little kids and send them out

So that night we corralled the
kids in my dressing room as soon
as the father and mother and the
artistic helper had gone upstairs,
and we surely got busy backing
up those youngsters. The babies
entered into the JOY of the thing
with histrionic abandon.

to believe there should be no sanctity

tributed much of the evil of today to
broken and shattered homes, which
caused the ~foundling asylums to be

laid much of the blame to the doors of
