musical farce which George M.
Cohan wrote. She danced and sang
lin this and and then went west to
play serious roles in stock produc-
tions.
She advanced so fast in popular
| ity that when she started on her
tour she was paid $40 week and by
the time she had returned east she
was paid $2,500 for a week in Buff
falo. She was booked again for
$500 for a week in Toronto and
that was a highly extraordinary
salary in the early 1900's.
Miss Tanguay really did more than
any other performer to bring vaude-
vile out of its decorous front. She
sang risque tfor those days. songs
such as "I Want Someone to Go Wild
with Me" and tits All Been Done
Before But Not the Way I Do It"
The great favorite with her audi
ences however, was II Don't Care"
Drew Some Protests.
Theater managers sometimes
protested against her singing such
sexy songs, but they all sub
sided when they saw the long
lines at their box Offices.
She made a knack for publicity
that made her constantly a sub
ject of popular discussion and she
did it with such a fair that her an
tics made good stories, even when
editors were sure they were mere
ly .fgments of iler imagination.
She liked to carry $1,000 bills
around, which was not such bad
financial policy, because rarely could
anyone change them, and such a
large bill always made creditable
impression.
Her backstage performances were
often as exciting as her appear
ances were when viewed from the
front of the stage. In Evansville,
Ind, she cut a stage curtain to
shreds with scissors because the
house manager fined her for miss
| ing a matinee.
In Sharon, Pa, she once chided
the house manager from the stage
because he had refused to put a
large mirror in her dressing room
The manager, an Irishman named
Murray, got SO mad that he re-
funded admission money to every
one in the theater.
One of her most profitable acts
was in "Salome" in 1908 and she
once said that her costume in that
consisted of two pearls" Censors
from coast to coast. complained
loudly, but the act played. continu-
ously and rolled up record gross
at the box Office.
Once she fashioned a costume
of dollar bills and when Lincoln
pennies appeared she used them for
