VARIETY 17 Yesterday Today Tomorrow! In no other trade, profession or business does opportunity mean so much as it does in the theatrical pro- fession. And in no other trade, profession or business does opportunity hover about so consistently as it does in the theatrical profession. Opportunity is not a periodical visitor to the player. It is always at hand, as con- venient as it is visible and bearing with it all the luxuries that accompany the prominence which it brings. A descriptive instance is contained in the present vaudeville situation. The managers and agents are now selecting next season 9 s material. New headliners will be created, new features procured and many a dream realized. The field is large, the supply in excess of the demand, consequently there will be many disappoint- ments. Naturally, the prominent acts will be selected. The familiar name always receives precedence over the unknown. That is human nature. The best way to become theatrically prominent is through a campaign of continuous advertising. If you have the goods, exploit them. Keep pounding away with printer's ink and your name will automatically be- come a professional fixture. Use VARIETY'S columns because of their double value. VARIETY covers the field and thus saves you the expense of a general campaign. You know VARIETY is read everywhere by everyone in the show business. This is particularly true of the business branch of the profession, the people you wish to reach. Try it now. Look back to yesterday and see if you have gone ahead. If not, start today and you'll be there tomorrow. Begin now and begin right.
