HIGH COST OF ACTING.
Salaries CT the Past as Compared With
Those of Today

Our imnginatiOns are so nimble In
this world of dollars that we have al
ready ceased to notice the bagatelle Of
a vaudeville salary of $1,000 week,
such as some of our actresses are said
to have received. We are already cal
cuatiug on the salary of the future
The salary of the past was not so am
bilious. 1t wns thing to worry over,
bot TO speculate upon.
In the late ifties of the last century
Mrs Drew and her mother received
SIG week for the two. Adr. and Mrs.
G. II. Gilbert received the same sum.
At this time the custom was to give
two plays night. with singing and
dancing between. The regular actors
also dlll these specialties. They sup
piled their own wnrdrobes as well, and
ms the theater going public was smaller
there was necessarily a constant
change of bill. The $40 was undoubt-
edly well earned.
The first person TO receive a salary
of three figures was Rose Eytinge. the
most popular emotional actress of her
time Her first salary as leading wo-
man had been S25, and at the time she
considered it great sum, for she had
started on the stage Mt 81 week.
