THE PROPER SPIRIT Below are extracts from a letter received by the Author of this Guide from Mr. Frank H. Hull, stage manager of the Majestic Theatre, Chico, California, in answer to a request for information concerning his theatre. This is the sort of cordial feeling that cements good fellowship between the performer and the crew. (The Author has never met Mr. Hull, but we will wager he is a "regular fellow.") "We are putting forward every effort to make this theatre a place of comment rather than of criticism, from the performers standpoint as well as the audience. We have always found that the performer is as courteous as the majority of other people and we always aim to do a little more for the other fellow than the other fellow does for us. * * * Come in with a smile, forget the grouch, put on your best show, leave with a hearty handshake and the feeling for a quick return will bje mutual. * * * we are trying to put Chico on the theatrical map, bring the performer, staff and crew closer together and make the bumps in the road seem smaller and farther apart." ON "ONE NIGHT STANDS" LEAVE YOUR HOTEL BAGGAGE AT THE STATION AND AVOID HAULING CHARGES If Lumbago troubles you then trouble a little more to look at the advertisement on Page 51 in this book.
