Nat- urally, however, they expect to be paid if they work in your act, if it is work outside of their regular duties, but under no circumstance do they accept "tips." This policy has been in effect several years. Dressing rooms here are not of the best, but the courtesy of the management and crew make up for their deficiency which will be rem- edied as soon as building conditions become normal, as a new theatre is contemplated. (This applies to Houston and Dallas as well.) For time being Auditorium has discontinued Vaudeville. Auditorium Dimensions: Proscenium Opening—34 feet. Height of Grid—54 feet. Wall to Wall—80 feet.
