„I make it a point to like what my audiences like“

Editorial content. „A Story of Man‘s Best Friend

      Being an Account of an Effort To Reach the Stars

      of Pantages

      by Walter Anthony

      INTERVIEWING around a vaudeville theater is like

answering a matrimonial advertisement, eating

boarding house hash, shopping in a curio store, hunting

European titles or reading an O. Henry story.“ (...)

      „Mr. Drady, who greets newspaper men cordially, not

only because it is natural for him to be cordial,

but also because as publicity man it is his business as well, led

us first to Alexander Pantages‘ sanctum upstairs.“ (...)

      „Pantages speaks without effort to hide the accent he has

brought from the Aegean sea and is almost as laconic as

another Greek who had a humble beginning, I mean Aesop.“ (...)

      „I do not pretend to be a judge of acts. No vaudeville

manager should get that illusion in his head. I permit

my audience to tell me what is good and what isn‘t. I make

it a point to like what my audiences like, and there

is the taste I try to please.“ (...)
