Less than a score of years ago a
young man had prepared an enter
tainment in which he was obliged to
makeup" his face very much as the
actors do today. He always did this
in the dressing room. He did it in
the dressing room because actors did
it that way. That was the only polite
way to do it. 1t was the conventional
way.
One day he was late getting to the
town where he was to give his en-
tertainment. 1t was to be in a church
Imagine his surprise and keen iisap-
pointment when he found the plat
form as bare as a skating rink. There
was no dressing room; no place to
hide; not even a piano to bet behind.
How could he put on his wig and ris
mustache 1t was too late to have u
curtain stretched for the folks were
all there. He had to act quickly or
not at all.
Our young artist was equal to the
occasion; he did the only thing there
was left for him to do: make up"
before the people. Smash went ira
ditions! Bing went conventional Gus
tomsl Expediency demanded that he
put on his makeup" in the presence
of the Audience.
He explained to them that his en-
tertainment was different in that he
would make up" in their presence.
He did so, and that part of the pro-
gram made the biggest hit of the even
ing. Why not then, he reasoned, con-
tinue doing that way? Consequently he
kept on delighting his audiences
with the novel scheme of entertain
ment. They always appreciated the
departure from the conventional way
of doing things.
Such was the humble beginning of a
new and exceedingly popular sort of
Lyceum and Chautauqua entertain
ment. There are twelve or fifteen
such entertainers now. Most of them
present types of characters, as, for
example, a tramp, miser, or a dude.
Mr.. Sidney Landon however, who is
coming to Lamar differs from all the
others in that he presents individuals
and not types. Among his impersona-
tons are: Edgar Allen Poe, Henry
Wordsworth Longfellow, Bill Nye and
Mark Twain.
