"Well." said Augustus MoCune. advance representative of the Louis James and Frederick Warde company, which plays the Salt Lake Theater next week. "1 can now proudly say that I am eligible for membership In the International Union of Bill Posters, on the score of ability alone. The lordly monarch of the paste and brush has grown more Independent with the increasing prosperity of the years. Since the giant business enterprises have adopted the billboard method of advertising, adver-tising, the poor showman is merely a secondary consideration. Walk into a town now, and the available space on dead walls Is occupied by 'Bill Smith' cigars ci-gars and 'W. W.' breakfast food, 'Hyena Brand' coffee, 'X X' corsets and 'Kill 'Em' cigarettes. Appeals to the average bill poster are unavailing, for he so well paid that the showman must hustle for himself. Luckily, 1 am hale and hearty, and my spare moments of late have been spent in "slapping up stands and placing window lithographs of the company. It's generally a hard scrimmage for space, and I have had at times to cover the food and cigar 'ads,' but It brought lousiness lousi-ness to the theaters. They must be looking look-ing for me yet in a certain town not 10,000 miles from here, for in the dead of night I had my advertising matter all over the walls of the police station, the leading church and the railroad depot. I look forward with pleasure to the day when all theatrical advertising will be done In newspapers, but I fear that happy condition condi-tion la some distance off." |
