VARIETY POLI'S, 8CRANTON, LAST WEEK.—And a consistent riot and Speech-maker at ©very performance. My warmest encouragements from a rea* headline act; Florence Nash and Joseph Jefferson. %J^r 0U« EDWARDS LITTLE BILLY YVCTTE EDWARDS \\ Just a pictorial proof thai real ability Is recognised by real managers from an Incandescent standpoint also. The Whirlwind Violinist* Does not even Intimate that she Is a "box office attraction"—yet; she does insist, however, that It is good policy on the part of a manager to have real enter- tainers on the bill as well as box office attractions, that audiences may feel when leaving the theatre their money brought them some return. Tvette reminds so-called '"greatest attractions in the world" that It comes with mighty poor grace from them to get "peeved" when a so-called "struggler"—minus circus advertising—makes a bigger hit than they do on a bill. Miss Tanguay might well take a lesson from professional fighters—when a cham- pion is beaten he admits it and shakes his opponent's hand. Tvette opens In London June 34th, leaving the American field to the real stars. Incidentally Tvette is booked solid for two years, so the "tradlng-on-my-name" idea Is rldloulous. IJUOUDTiQ ITmHTOBttffl UPTBmfl Grateful public, acknowledgment t o BILLY SHARP, of Sharp and Turek, who gave me my "bear dance." SUGGESTION FOB THE TANGUAY PUBLICITY BUREAU.— Don't start the "personal" thing In your ads. Tvette is a Southern girl with all the dislikes associated with.real Southerners. Hew close to the vaudeville line in your advertising or take the consequences. Another suggestion to Bflss Tanguay—that Tvette may be a "struggling artiste" but managers consider her a feature act. And I stopped the show twelve performances, too. Get It? <TnnTfu!i>uTll^ackno^edKmen^t7^DAvB ROSE, of the Ted Snyder Company, for music arrangement. LTRIC (Korean Kelty. mgr.).—26-27.
