Vaudeville Ah't Back for Lefty By Joe Laurie, Jr. . Coolaerea, Cat, March 31. Dear Joe: Read where CUfford Fischer brought beck vaudeville at the 4atfa St theatre In New York. I hope he did a Frank Back with, it and brought It back alive. According to the wrlteups he brought It back via a miciophona which certainly don't belong In real VaudevQle. The nearest thing, to a mike in vaudeville was Vallee with a megi^one. As for talent,'Flachejr ■ certainly, has some of the tops with guys like WlUIe Howard, Phil Baker, Lou HoltE and Paul Draper. There aint many toppers on that quartette, besides a swell slippiorting cast But accordin' to me and Aj{gie it still Isn't real vaudeville until they have sketches, animal acts, lugglers; it lust don't vaude without them kind of acts. It's lik^ trying to streamline Sophie Tucker, it jnst don't fit; Soph is still tops without any streamlining! T» me and Aggie vaudeville aint back until the acrobat steps down to the foots and sort of outta breath says: 'M6 partner wHl now do a doable somersault often the table, blindfolded. He is Uie only man in the woild to do this feat and we offer $1,000 to anyone In the woUd who can dupli- cate it' ■ . - . ' Vaudeville ain't really back until the 'bench act' opens up with the man startin' to sing a song and the woman passes by and drops her handker- chief, he picks it up, and she sez, "How dare you flirt wiffi me.'' A juggler gives a bill class when he juggles cigar boxes with a Ut lamp oh. top; we like when the bicycle act gets up oa the high unlcyde and goes ri^t down to the footsji almost gotog out in the audience and every* body gasps. We like the real wooden shoe hoofers with plenty of noisa . and the last eight bars forte. And how about the-two-man act'that flnlshes-with a parodyT It ain't real vaudeivllle If it ain't got a Lee Lash drop Witt plenty ot ads on It or a drop In one with a fountain and a buOdlAig painted t/a. it where the comic could look in the window and motion to the audieiice to coma on . and help him look: ' - ' . , Do you mean to say you can enjoy a vaude show without a center door fancy -with gold foraiture and two potted palm plants cm'gold stands in got bafskets? I Drapes may look a Utt^e better, but it aint vaudevDle. And-Fll het Fischer ain't got the baldheaded drummer takinc 'gutr from the comedian, you know, when he ring* the cowbell ahd drops H, the comic sez; tOSk. it' And how- about the jaonplogist -with th* Fkihce Albert coat and a newspaper in his hands Jnyi^ *A funny thing hijp^ed to me on the way to the thcatz^-^— ' ' ' * Others HlMlaC''-- - . And do you mean to say you don't miss the single woman with thf piano player, who had ji rout^e of songs; Hebe, wop, ragtime and ballad; then the piano player played a solo. In a spotlight, or else ib didn't count? The ballad usually was about a mother or a haby . . , and if it was now, oh, boy. I could Just hear the one about her soldier boy! Where you gonna get your douWe Jrlsh. Dutch and I'op acts? And tha Hebe and the straight tbepoUcemaa-ahd the maidT vNo, sh:; me and Aikie will never believe vaudeville Is back until we see them acta The actors may be back, but they left vaudeville In the trunk. With artlris like Holtz^ Howard, Baker and Draper,, this gay Fischer has the right halt and-I hope he catches a lot of customers and that my pals In the show can send their laundry out , ^ Been reading where the actora ar* doinff plenty of benefits for war work; as they always have, done; and rnlsinig plen^ of dough besIdiM enteiltalnlng the boys. What getS: my goat. Is readhig about some guy donating food and liquor to feed the aptors backstage durbig ih« benefit Must actors have food to be Ale to do a benefit? Why don't tiie guys donate the food to the Actors' Canteen that feeds soldiers «aid sailtea? All the years me and. Aggie done benefits Fve noticed that ft Wasn't the actors that drank and ate backstage, it was usually thfe relatives aatf frtendi of the committee; those people are so busy Uickstage itating and drlnkh)^. they don't even watch the show. I say. give the eats to th« Actors'-Can> teen; they're ^olng a'great job. a That's about all I got to vUl your way for now. Best to the hoys and gals, and if vaudeville really comes back let us fcnoW because Aglgie and' me can still do a awell act and got our ordiestratidns In the old Feist covers, practically like new.

Conse- quently, the- industry la fighting to retain this limited usagei, there be- ing only about 75,000 such cans stlU employed because no substitute has been found for them so lot, War.- time priorities may force their aban- donment as with the other cans, re- placement of which was set for the film business via the Hays - office about two weelis ago, ShiftOver from tin cans carryfaig positive unexposed raw stock from film manufacturers to printing labs, and then to exchange- centers is costing t^astman, Dti Pont and other film manufacturers about $105,000, each new box costhig ^e or slightly less. Each t>ox must be carefully taped to keep out light on the un- exposed positive stock.. Tests reveal the boxes safer than tin cans lie- cause not insulated. Picture indus- try requires atwut 1,800,000,000 lin- ear feet of this positive raw stock annually; hence, the reason for the large supply—1,500,000 tin cans— formerly used. In contrast only about 100,000,000 feet .of negative stock (used in shooting all screen productions) are required per year. It Is for this stock that tin caiis itUl are vsed,' although Eastman Kodak and other film manufacturers demand that stu- dios return the cans for new ship* ments from manufacture to the film plants. While' the new fiber or cardboard boxes also^carry completed screen producUtms from the labs to ex- change centers, the exchanges ship . out in regular Interstate dpmmerce Commission contaioers to- various exhibitors, _ Hiese container? are mode of sheet metalTand prlorltiei may subsequently curtail or alter the use of these if some oibtt typa container for the ZjOOO-foot v'ools can be devised to meet ICC ship* ping requirements.. However, the elimination of inore than a million' tin cans ■ formerly employed" on poSUve stock ship- ments is regarded as the most sweep- ing saving of tin that can be seiislbly effected without sTo#bi£' up film shipments., Industry has affected an additional saving through the histant dbopera- tion of the Interstate Commerce Commission which has agreed to al- low repeated use of the new fibre and cardboard film containers. Re- garded as an unprecedented ruling by the LC.C, which explained la granting the &]m, business' request that 'this is wartime.'. The new type containers may be employed for shipments until broken, damaged or otherwise deemed faulty for norm- ally safe shipping. \ Joseph's New One Bastrop, Texas, March 31.
