Continuous Vaudeville

Continuous Vaudeville is by Will M. Cressy. The introduction says that when you go into a Continuous Vaudeville Theater you expect to see and hear a little of everything. A line in the introduction says you see a lot of poor acts, a few good ones and two or three real good ones. The contents list names, among others, The Old Stage Door Tender, It's Hard to Make the Old Folks Believe It and Union Labor.

Con puts on his coat and goes out to the first vacation he had had in sixteen years, and walks across the narrow alley and visits with the Stage Door Tender of the Tremont Theater all the afternoon. A woman has settled into that mess of paint, enamel and varnish, until she and that bath tub had formed an attachment that nothing short of a doctor or a plumber could separate. A man, when he gets lonesome, runs his automobile up Main Street at full speed (13 miles an hour), arrests himself for overspeeding, collects two dollars for making the arrest, then fails to appear against himself and the case is dismissed.
