II Is widely acclaimed, both In and out of thv profession, that Its mcmls-ra, In their rivalry for histrionic honors, arc not above doing mean or unkind things to accomplish their objects—popularity and position. So- called professional Jealousy Is present In different degrees In almost every Thespian breast, and when Instances occur In this re- gard that proves un opposite feeling, they arc worth recording. A "happy family" tableau might have liecn seen In the star dressing room at the Colonial week of June 3. The principals In the picture were the headllners at the same per- formance—Not Wills and George Primrose— making up for their different nets. Mark you I iwo stars In the same room, amicably following the precepts of old Dr. Watts' hymn, "Illrds In Their Little Nests Agree." etc. One of them had previously said to the other, "Hrlng your trunk In, old man, and we can Just as well dress together." Bmb particular hendllner made a score of sug- gestions to the other as to ways and Ideas In strengthening his net. l'rlmrose gave Wills lines for big laughs, and the other. not to bo outdone In generosity, made nice Introductory speeches at the end of his turn for the minstrel man who followed. This Is an unusual action, as every plnyer Is always anxious Hint the mental elTeet of his act upon the undlence should remain with I hem as long as possible, even If the memory of It should linger and distract during any net that follows. Ily Willi' Introductory re- marks about his friend, he generously made a distinct periodic end of his own act In favor of the one which followed. * In his extremely clever monologue, which Is literally stuffed with laugh lines, he tells. a ridiculous story of bis early existences that might Illustrate the effect of a per- former's work lasting through and Into the succeeding turn—In fact, B sort of "hold- over" Influence. Ills story concerns a vnudcvlllo experi- ence which occurred when he llrst went Into the business. He relates how his turn was preceded by a team whose work was so had and so uninteresting to the weary audience that the performers ,finally left the stage, being hissed Into the wings most Ignominious- ly. Wills goes on to tell how shaky he felt when ho went on for his turn, expecting the same treatment, for the nudlcnco was a dlfll- cult one. lie was getting on fairly well, however, then he noticed a change out front that portended III for his success. They wero getting ready lo hiss, Dually coming out most, decidedly In this unpleasant expression of disapproval. Willi his Ingenuous smile, Wills goes on to explain this demonstration In a way that let him out as to any personal re- sponsibility for the hissing. "You see," he says, "during my turn the audience got to thinking about the had turn that was on before me, and right after my llrst song I hoy started hi to hiss those fellows all over again." This plausible explanation gctB one of the blggoBt laughs of the "Happy Trnmp's" act. Wills was standing at the box office window of a Southern theatre, one day, hi conversa- tion with tlio" treasurer. While there, a young man of the place nppronched. lie was one of the "smart Alee" sort, who likes to be thought well Informal! as to theatrical mailers, but knows very little ubout Miami This person evidently wanted to get "an sons.
