Porter j. White & Co. There is
one fixed rule for successful vaude-
vile sketch viz. Action" Whatever
else must be sacrificed, the playlet
that wins must move from the rise
to the fall of the curtain. The
trouble with most actors who take
flyer" in vaudeville is that they
think the conditions of the vaude-
Vile stage are the same as those
that exist in the legitimate drama.
They put on playlets that are talky
and full of pretty but inffective
love scenes. This is all right in
houses where an audience has
hours to get acquainted with the
atmosphere" of the play. Porter J.
White had this in mind when he
produced his satirical comedy 1.-The
Hide Away" In eighteen minutes
he has crowded enough action to
make a four act drama. 1t is play
let so replete with surprises and
clever acting as to keep an audience
at the top notch of tenseness until
the CLIMAX.
Dale & Burch, a clever character
comedian and a piquantly pretty
girl, present an original comedy
creation which they call THE Rid
