Watson, a singer of comic Hebrew songs, tells a story about two smart people of the type he so cleverly portrays. During the time that the Klaw & Krlangcr force, were so busily engaged In getting things ready for their new vaudovllic venture In Philadelphia, much publicity talk was also going on. The whole amusement public seemed to be discussing llttlo but the "K. & K." vaudeville opening that was about to occur. "K. « H." was the watchword every- where. , Just about this time two Hebrews opened a Nickelodeon on Klghth Street. Utilising the advertising talk of the big people In the amusement btutuu-tt, they displayed a large electric sign over their entrance, reading "K. & K. Vaudeville." The box ofllcc did a land ofllco business for several days, during which tho fact camo to the notice of those interested with the New York tlrm. One of these called at the box ofllcc of tho little place, where the partners were counting up their big receipts, and asked what right they had to display an announce- ment "K. & K. Vaudeville," purported to be- long exclusively to the New York Arm. "Veil," confldently rejoined the spokesman of the llttlo Arm, "ve hef a right to use de letters of our own names. I'm A'lclnbcrg and my partner 1. Ulsen.tcln, and we'ro giving vaudeville." 9 A quotation, oft repeated, record, that cor- porations havo no souls. Big circuses often conic undcr this heading. Charles B. Pugh, of Hamilton, O., write, of a llttlo incident a red-ball-ccntrc Is raised. Bo, after all, the performer's mistake was not no far out, con- sidering the temperature of the night.
