NOVEL USES OF RECORDS
Disks Made Containing Some of Their Work Get
Engagements for Vaudeville Artists.
It is not generally known how much vaudeville
artists use phonograph records of their "acts" to sell
their time to agencies and managers. Last year one
commercial recording company made sixty-five thou-
sand dollars' worth of records for professional actors,
particularly vaudeville artists. For thirty-five dollars
the actor, actress, sketch team or musician can have
a dozen disks made giving a sample of his work, and
these, sent out to managers, bring engagements.
Violinists, dance orchestras, male quartets and
monologists all sample and sell themselves to their
trade.
