operation between the artist and the orchestra is absolutely essential if the show is to go well; and each should remember that anything tending to make the show less of a success than it could be operates to a corresponding extent to keep pa- trons away from the box-office. Overtures should be carefully chosen, varied between classical and popular numbers, and changed as often as the show changes. Now and then, a "jazz" number is permissable, but loud, brassy, clashing music should be avoided as a rule. Muted instruments—a quiet tone— real music—will be listened to and appreciated by the audiences. It is suggested that "March- ing Through Georgia" is a poor number to play in southern territory; the sentiments of the lo- cality in which the theatre is established should be considered always. The leader and the manager can and should arouse interest in the orchestra as such; if they do, it will soon have a decided following and do much to cement the friendly feeling of the public to the theatre. It is better to feature the house orchestra than the leader. If the leader resigns or is dis- charged, the orchestra remains, with only one place to fill. 294
