There has noon a great change for tho bet- ter In vnudcvllle during tbe past few years. Once it was a shiftless nnd Irresponsible style of entertainment. To-day vaudeville audiences are as exacting, and good tasto ' must be as rigidly observed as In the so-called "legitimate" nouses. Vaudeville is preferred by many on account of tbe variety of acts offered—the novelties presented and the relaxation from all care and mental strain. Devotees of the legitimate drama frequently attend vaudeville perform- ances, but vaudeville patrons seldom, If ever, care for the serious plays that occupy an entire evening. That this special line of entertainment haa taken so firm a grip on American people la due to the kind or men who, when vaude- ville hung In the balance between becoming decent and Important or remaining forever the blatant paatlme of concert hall loungers, foresaw tbe enormous possibilities of vaude- ville on a large and refined plane. Little by little, often times at an enormous loss, tho men behind greater-vaudeville-hove engaged the foremost stars of the-world, alwaya bar-. Ing In mind the uplift of the vnudevlllo the- atres as an Institution. Little by little the old mistakes were eradicated, tho old Ideas and Ideals were swept away, and the result to-day la a: substantial'and mtgnlflcent sys- tem of theatrical entertalnmenta. - The main reason'for the brilliant progress which vaudeville baa achieved Is found In the elements therein which make women' and children Its consistent patrons. The economy of a healthy minded nation has always proven that, women are the principal factors In creating a commercial demand. The highest I SI Prices Right. We Challenge the World.
