GERARD'S COMEDIAN HUNT

The vaudeville house in the city was
allowed 20 remain open through the
Saturday H. performance
Gerard had heard that there was a
comedian who was making a big hit
at the vaudeville house. and he de-
cided to look him over Anxiously did
he await Welsh's act. Then il came
and Gerard was happy. Welsh was
just the man he was looking for. 1t
did not take the popular burlesque
producer long to get behind the
scenes and interview the comedian.
You are just the man have been
looking for" he said. II want you for
1urlesque"
At first Welsh did not feel inclined
20 enter the world Of buriesque. as he
was doing mighty well In vaudeville
over the Western wheel, where he
was most popular. At last he gave
in and signed a contract with Gerard.
That night Gerard went to bed happy.
He was sure that he had landed an
other star. and subsequent events
have proven that once again his judg-
Inent was right. Welsh Is proving
just as big a hit on the Columbia
wheel as he was in vaudeville.

Marie Goff has demonstrated anew
the value OF the dance as q nrst aid
to those WHO would secure a firm
footing on the ladder Of success In the
theater, but unlike certain well known
exponents Of Terpischore. whose fame
rests principally In their feet, she has
demonstrated a new angle on the
proposition and with unusual results.
II Miss Goff, the young woman who
over night IN New York scored an
emphatic personal success through her
performances in "At s:45," the Owen
Davis melodrama which comes TO the
Sbubert-Garrick for one week COM

pened TO elect last New Years Eve a
fitting time to tread the light fantas-
tic. and to select for the purpose a
certain New York hotel where hap
pened to foregather psahy notables OF
the theatrical world, in all probability
she would not find herself in the
enviable position OF a young Broadway
leading woman.
Posing proved reasonably profitable.
but not sufficiently permanent to suit.
and Miss Con decided to try some
thing that would be. She selected once
and secretarial work and during the
LOdn TCdo PROOF anu
worked in other ways at loan head
quarters. Then, just after Christmas.
came an offer OF an excellent secretar-
iaI position in San Francisco. By New
Years Eve. she had decided TO forego
any remaining chances OF footlight
fame and accepted. Then came the
invitation to the dance at the afore-
mentioned hotel, and after that the
proverbial deluge. Miss Goff was for
tunate in her selection OF a partner,
for the gentleman who was her escort
on that occasion happened to know in
timately many OF those who have II
in their power to make or mar the
fortune Of those who seek success on
the New York stage.
She was introduced to three man.
ayers and the author Of one of the
seasons successes. Each Of these
gentlemen, upon hearing that she had
experience and sought opportunity,
suggested that she call the next morn
ing at his Office. She went first to the
playhouse. where William A. Brady
engaged her for Never Too Late" a
