WHY BILLY FOSTER -
QUIT HIS U. S. JOB

If you should ask Billy Foster, of
the team OF Foster and Hsrcourt,
headlining the bill at the Gayety The
ater this week where the Bowery
Burlesquers arc holding forth, one of
the reasons why he resigned Gov
ernment job here in 1906 that worthy
would probably reply:
81 can't stay still an hour at time.
Employees of the Government don't
get TO move around often enough
That Is the reason, in a nutshell,
why Foster is the exponent of the
form of comedy instead OF a
Government worker. Since 1906 he
has appeared in practically every
theater'fn every city in the East, and
he has just started his thestrical
career. Foster is "A New Yorker, and
he pays taxes there now, but he
thinks Washington is one OF the best
places in all the world to live,
When Foster makes his roll in
show business he intends to come
back here. hire tent space along the
upper Potomac. and spend his time
fishing and playing golf.
