vile is probably the hardest
theatrical world of, all. It
means concentrated effort every
moment you are on the stage.
You have limited time in
which to make good and it
takes all the effort you can COR
raj to register a hit in so short
a time.
Personality is another basic
quality upon which vaudeville
achievement is founded. The
artist on the stage must have
sufficient personality to hold the
attention of every member Of
his or her audience and further
must be able to sell that per-
sonality to every variety OF au-
dience.
"Unselfishness is another Inn
portant vaudeville attribute.
jealousy has ruined more than
one career. I believe in sur
rounding myself with artists as
capable, IL not more capable
than myself. In that way I not
only keep the caliber OF the en-
tire act high but I give myself
q stimulus for my best effort.
Ambition is essential to the
vaudeville star. One must strive
constantly to improve, never rest
content merely because one has
reached headline position.
Miss Seeley started her, the
atrical career in a stock COM
pany. When the jazz craze hit
the country she was one OF the
first recruits to its banner. She
left stock and went into vatide-
vile where she has established
herself as one Of the best en-
tertainers on the circuit.
