Once wired vaudeville producer E. F. Albee: 'Beginning next week my salary must be $10,000 per week". He wired back: "Your salary will remain $1,000 per week". At her next performance she sang eight bars of the opening song, stopped and said: "That's $1000 worth of my act" and walked off.
The vaudeville audience is the most sensitive because it is there to meet old friends, to spend an hour or two in pleasant company, and it has no objection to tears if they start from the hearts of their friends who are on the stage. They are just as ready to cry with you in the theatre as they would be in their own homes, but they must be real tears not stage tears.
