Russell Mack and Blanche Vincent were third, getting over well. To anyone who has visited the small time houses in certain, populous sections where there are so reserved seats and patrons move up towards the stage by process of elimination— that is they go forward as vacancies are made by persons exiting—Mack's story about the "Star Spangled Banner" is funny. He said a manager in Williamsburg explained that the national an- them was no longer played in his house because when people in the front stood up, people in the back rushed up and copped the seats. Mack's best scoring number was "The Button-Hole Makers Ball," a tidbit for the Royal bunch.
