Copies Old Minstrels.

A MEXICAN minstrelsy has bequeath-
ed its legacy to the movie. In the
days when George Primrose, Lew
DOckstader, Neil O'Brien, Honey Boy"
Evans, Hi Henry" and Eddie Leo
nard were famous in a form Of the
atrical entertainment that seems per-
manently to have been relegated to
the limbo of forgotten things, it was
customary for each burnt cork troupe
to send ahead an emissary whose
chief function was to collect local
gags" to be sprung as surprises at
each stand" when the end men be-
gan their witty "cross fire."
Perhaps the most famous of these
advance foragers was the late Jean
Havez. author of Everybody Works
But Father" whose wife was the
statuesque soprano. Cecil Cunning
ham, and who for years served Dock
stader In the capacity of chief scout
and minister plenlpOtentiary of pun
gent humor.
Since the advent of the motion pic
ture and the passing of the minstrel
show, the movie comedian has adopt.
cd this custom.
Formerly gag men were a negligible
factor in film work. In most cases
the scenario writer or the director as.
sumed the responsibility Of creating
gags" or situations.
Now, however. gag men are quite
the most important factor in the max.
Ing OF pictures. especially comedies.
Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and
Harry Langdon all maintain q large
staff of gag men, who do nothing but
think up funny situations for use in
pictures. The gags, when properly de-
veloped. provoke laughs. 1t is self
evident that without laughs comedy
would need a special label. Hence the
importance of the gag mon.

Laborers Always.
WHEN the actors won the strike

WHEN the actors won the strike in
~-5 and the Actors Equity AS
ISOLATION was firmly established, there
was some comment as to the enect
membership in a union would have on
art. Many observed that the actors
would lose caste, that the romantic
aura silhouetting the stage would be
lost, and that the dramatic profession
would become like artisans, the work
a-day people of the world.
Few of the derogatory critics re-
membered that the actor has always
been the proverbial worker in the
hive; that two.thirds of his laboring
hours are spent in a darkened the
ater, at rehearsals, with no audience,
and that the comparatively few each
season who manage to strike long
runs have paid heavy toll in energy
output and study before attaining the
afhuence resulting from a season on
Broadway.
In repertoire particularly does the
trouper put in hours of labor that
would frighten even a Government
clerk. The National Theater Players,
Tor instance, work every day during
their season, aside from the night and
matinee entertainments. Last season
out OF 14-week engagement the play.
ers had but four Sundays to them.
selves.
Rehearsals begin on Tuesday morn
ing for the following weeks attrac-
ton. These start at 10 o'clock, per-
NIT an hour for lunch, and continue
Till 4:30 or o'clock in the afternoon.
Only on matinee days are the after
noon studies suspended.
AS many of the plays offered are
being read for the first time by all
members Of the troupe. the necessity
for an acute memory Is seen. Espe-
clally must the players be on the
qui Vive early in the week, for often
they are reciting lines not too familiar
IN the current play and with great ef-
fort keeping them separate from the
,lnes they are rehearsing for the fol-
lowing week.
one OF the distinctive merits Of the
National Players Is that q prompter
is rarely necessary. AS a rule, they
are letter-perfect in their lines.
