The above information is based on the "road show" or "combination" house that the Inter State Circuit are now using, at the time this book went to press, on account of their other theatre being destroyed by fire. (Another one of Arthur Mays) Several years ago I was playing a small "Opery" in Virginia that boasted of playing two vaudeville" acts a whole week, and the house crew consisted of two stage hands, a picture operator and "curtain puller." The lights were so arranged that the operator ran the stage lights from the booth, and when the pictures were over he threw the stage lights on,—and off when there was a spotlight number in an act. The house lights were run from the stage. The "curtain puller" or stage manager asked, "have you got any spotters in your act?" I told him no, and he said, "well I'm durn glad of it, for me and that feller up in the picture box don't get along very well. He's sore because I've got so much authority around here, and every time he gets a chance he tries to put it over on me. Last week we had an act in here that had a spotter, and when it came time I gave him the signal warning to put 'er on, and he didn't do it, and made me so all fired mad I just threw on the deck lights and let 'er stand."
