Entertainment has always been a better business for its devoted fol- lowers than education. A few years ago alumni were rallying to the support of college professors, so that middle aged and elderly schol-| ars who had held for years impor- ant chairs in big institutions of learning might not starve to death.) They were paid—and are paid to- day—less money in many cases than the unskilled laborers who dig up big city sewers receive. Pre-eminent professors, men who are acknowledged as masters in their particular subjects, sometimes get perhaps ten or fifteen thousand | dollars a year; with the accent on| the perhaps. Most of them get five thousand or less. They teach peo- ple, and their wisdom is sought. But those who entertain the peo- ple fare better. William Harrison Dempsey, for instance.
