I He avers that bis new act la a pippin, but I that the agents don't wont pippins when] there are so many "peaches" around. Glen Bum's new version of an old one: "Laugh and the world laughs with yon; weep, and the world laughs at you." Tell Tailor baa again opened his profes- sional office in ChL we heard a ripping one about yon, Tell, and about you opening and closing your bally office so many different times, but for the jolly life of us we 'cawnt remmber It, don't ye know. John Baxteb, "Tie Man Behind the Voice," la exploiting same at the Claremont Cafe. He maintains that bo long as the con- ditions are the way they are, be Is foolish for paying excess on bis voice in toting It ubout the country. So he has bad It In- stalled at the above resort for an indefinite period. Cutting performers' salaries Is the great- est little indoor sport among tbe managers right now. And the come-back for- the performer is to tell so and so how so and so cut Ms salary one hundred per. Anyhow, It sounds big— especially if said performer were in tbe habit of getting $125 per week. They are talking of reviving the old song, "I Don't Know where I'm doing, But I'm On My Way." Just tbe thing. Any vaude- ville performer npon leaving nls agent's of- fice these days could sing It with much eclat. And speaking of tils celebrated song, the man who wrote it, Joe Bren, is now In. Kan- Isas City, at the head of a minstrel produc- ing company, and Is doing well. His specialty Is the producing of Elks' minstrels, and from all reports, press and otherwise, Is giving eminent satisfaction. We have one-of his booklets on our desk as we write, and It Is quite a nifty little affair. A certain performer, recently short In bis envelope at the end of the week, remon- strated with tbe manager, saying: "I suppose you will say that tbe war is to blame?"
