BE A. WOMAN JUGGLER
AND JfAKE FORTUNE
The average pay of the woman Jug
gler Is 1200. Her value la calculated
to nicety, both for what she can do
and because Juggling aa a profession Is
new to a woman. Good aa aha may be,
she can't, go half as far aa tha, man In
the same profession, on account of her
lack of atrenrth. although ahe Is a fa
vorlte on account of her graceful work.
Those who have been seen here this
winter can't do half the work that Is
dona by Paul Conchas and Paul Bpidona,
and other men who have spent their
lives learning, and yet tha pay or the
woman performer; averages about naif
that of the man.
The woman In the business will get
from 1160 to $200, where the ordinary
man Juririer who is not a star win get
about $400. - His work Is from four to
five times as exacting and ha haa spent
nearly all his life, perhaps, to learn, but
with less skill she will be shoved a lit
tie nearer the middle of the program,
while he will be only a filler, however

Mansfield, his wife and two or three friends were dining In Sherry a one
night near the close of a season, which, with the possible exception or tne pres

had an ordinary dinner and drank a good vintage of red wine.
The "attention of the Mansfield party was attracted to a table near their s,
at which a nartv of vnunr actors, all well-known on Broadway and all Of whom

of looklna- like a little s-Irl. and so lit
tie Is known about the real personality
of the people who do the 10-mlnute
stunts that scarcely anybody around
the theatre knows that the little person
who twinkles In and out between balls
and nlatea really Is 21. -
Little Is known of where these strange
neonle of the circuit come from and
where they lenrn their art. Selma
Braata and Anita Nordling both came
from Berlin and both oo a stunt
of torches. In a Berlin music
hall the stage machinist had a
little daurhter who came and
watched the performers and then played
with her balls aa she had seen the
stage jugglers do. She quickly caught
the eye of the parent, who kept lief
oracticina two years and then put her
on the boards aa a professional juggler.
He Invented a wire-covered torch for
her which emits a shower of sparks,
and it became a favorite -act with the
woman jugglers, and the German made
