buy nails, ang:ily demanded to know
for what purpose they were needed.
Il need the nails to finish that
scene for the new play the carpen-
ter said
The manager thought for a second
and then growled:
If this production is going to cost
SO much, l have mind not to put it
Oh at all
Then he went on to tell another
story relating to cash:
Two members of the |. w. w. were
sitting on a bench in Madison Square
park in New York.
One of them looked up at the big
clock on the Metropolitan Towe.; and
said to the other:
Mike, do you know something?"
"What?'
Every time that clock ticks, Rock
efeller gets ten dollars
Does he?'
Yes"
Then, for heavens sake, let's stop

Side Lights on Vaudeville
Mr.. Glass, manager of the Column
bia, in conversation recently had
some remarks to make as to the
vaudeville conditions in Phoenix.

vide that which will register at the
box office in the form of coin.
Headline acts will be brought to
Phoenix as often as consistent with

Paul Gordon, manager of the
/ Western Vaudeville Managers asso-
cation in Chicago, has promised me
that he would keep us advised of any
and all big time acts going or com
ing from the coast, and if there is
any way by which they can be sent
here We shall get them.
The shows will cost a lot more
but the patronage will be greater
once we convince the people that we
are entitled to their support, and
|
case of show US, that and nothing
more. The excellent impression made
by the Three Cavaliers this week
proves that"
