The more highly seasoned it is the more kindly our patrons will take to the theatrical feast we will be compelled to give them." "Leave that to me." "I'll view the manners of the town, Peruse the traders, gaze upon the buildings." Handy and the landlord spent the late afternoon and a good portion of the night in Gotown.
"Saturday night! Why, I thought you meant to descend on us to-morrow night. 'Nuff sed. Say no more. The academy will be ready for you." "The what?" "The Gotown Metropolitan Academy of Music will be ready for inauguration by a company of distinguished actors all stars, more or less from the principal theatres of the metropolis next Saturday night," replied Big Ed in a grandiloquent outburst.
"Quite right. People you can rely on," continued Handy. "You are in a pretty bad fix, and if I can help you out in any way I'll be only too happy to do so. To be frank with you, this Gotown venture has been worrying me more than I care to admit.
From the coinage of his active brain he succeeded in bringing forth and committing to paper something like the following as his programme for the inauguration and opening night of the Gotown Metropolitan Academy of Music: IMPORTANT NOTICE Come One Come All Be On Hand Proprietor and Owner............ Mr. Ed. McGowan Mr.
We play the old stand-by 'Down on the Old Farm' at the Weston the last three nights. Come down with me to the station and I'll tell you more. I am off for Gotown. Will see you to-night, if I can; but if not, I will be with you the first thing in the morning. There's no time to lose." "Joy danced with Mirth, a gay, fantastic Crowd."
It might as well be explained now, as later, that up to the time that the Weston manager made known his troubles and his open dates Handy had not the slightest thought of "Down on the Old Farm," and did not have a date after Gotown. "Say, Mr. Handy, how large is the stage of the new Gotown house?"
I said there were no hotels." "What's the difference? Don't you know there are no saloons in New York now? They are all hotels. The law is strict on that score, and if Gotown is regulated on the same plan and there are no hotels, I'm beginning to have my doubts. Say, old man, this is no prohibition colony you're steering us up against, eh?"
"Well, I was just thinking" and the landlord spoke with measured care "I was just thinking, as I said, that perhaps you and I might be able to arrange some kind of a deal to give a show at Gotown, make a stake, and whack up on the profits. What do you say?" "Gotown! Gotown!" replied Handy. "Never heard of it. No, I guess not.
"They are credited with doing so." "Then you can safely bet on my talk." "Now, then what about Gotown?" "I'm with you. We'll tackle Gotown on miscellaneous paper. There's my hand on it." That afternoon Handy and the landlord started for the scene of operations, to look the place over.
We open with a grand overture by the Handel and Hayden Philharmonic Society; and as a matter of course, on account of their patriotic kindness in volunteering for the celebration of the anniversary of the foundation of Gotown, they will have an encore and will then play a medley of national American airs, 'Yankee Doodle, 'Hail, Columbia, 'Patrick's Day, 'The Watch on the Rhine, 'The Star Spangled Banner, and 'Dixie. Then the curtain will go up on 'Box and Cox. You'll play Box, Diggins will do Cox, and Cromwell will play Mrs.
