The most marvelous and sensational novelty in vaudeville Clare A. Lutz, World's Greatest Rifle Shot MANAGERS I HAVE MET. (Continued from page 26.) body-knowing the case, I think he was mjustly cancelled. American managers are copying their toother managers abroad, and soon will be like the German managers, who know more about law than the lawyers whom :hey engage by the year. I must not overlook Madame Wulff of i-he Coloseum Essen Ruhr. Madame is a widow, but she is without the shadow of a doubt the shrewdest manager or manageress in the known world. She has a lawsuit for every day in the week, and sometimes, if she is feel- ing well, she has three and four. She conducts all her own cases, but hires a lawyer simply to represent her. She has seldom lost a case, and whenever she tries to compromise with an act, that means she has a losing suit.' In all my traveling about I have found managers as different as it is possible for men to be. Some, when through with my work, have cast me a^ide like an old rag, and some have treated me as well when I finished my engagement as when starting on a sensational tour. In America managers pay the artist his hire and then that lets them out. The one manager who has always treated the writer of this with all courtesy, even when through, and my hat is off to him, is Edward F. Albee. If a manager has an argument with me I get square with him by being silent and saving more money than is usually my habit. I have grim satisfaction whenever scrapping, to save extra money, and when I have the desired amount saved I can say to myself, "Well, I managed to even up with So and So," and every time I think of my revenge I think of the satis- faction in saving my money and thus hav- ing defeated my opponent, and I recom- mend this method to my fellow profes- sionals.
