Fre- quently, two shows a week were at- tended, thus drawing more heavily on the slender bankrolls, but the Loys were out in force nevertheless. Must Have Their Chew It may be that cveryone in “nig- ger heaven” did not chew tobacco, but certainly the great majority in- dulged. They would not consider 5oing to the theater unless they 're certain of a tobacco supply. some liked cut plug, and others were partial to the “baled hay” as the paper tobacco was commonly known. Some went in for large! portions at a time, while others were satisfied with hardly more than a medium sized pinch. Where some could make a single “chaw” last through four acts, others would not think of going through intermission without freshening up, and many a vouth went out on the dead run in 4 mad search for a drink of water after gulping oo carelessly during a tense moment in the drama. Just as the movies of a later pe- riod were to serve as the meetin I places of friends, “nigger heaven” was the mecca of its time. Advance notices on the billboards kept every- one posted as to coming attractions, and night in and night out for years upon years, the same crowd climbed the stairs and the same fellows oc- cupied the same seats to see the Barrymores, Chauncey Olcott, De Wolfe Hopper and the other celebri ties who played here. Many inc dents of an amusing natuge occur- red in the “heaven,” not the least common of which centered around the pranks that were perpetrated on various town characters, and num- erous were the tributes paid by the ictors to the gang “way up on the shelf” who, though critical, were | recognized as fair judges of histri- onic effort and were as generous with their applause as they were vehement with their catealls. During the passing years that brought the motion pictures into | popularity the highest seats in the house continued to be popular but they scemed to have lost their at- mosphere and their great hold upon the gallery gods of the earlier day. Tn all probability, the passing of many of the older theater fans was partly accountable for this change, for the dyed-in-the-wool patrons of the drama and the musical comedy were slow to warm to the pictures. The younger men went finally to the more refined atmosphere of the leony and the orchestra circle, intil all the attraction of the hard, plain seats, so close to the ceiling of the auditorium scemed to have be- come los Hoarded Price of Admission Vigger heaven” was packed with humanity more often than not, and the box office at the foot of the stairs was gencrally flooded with dimes, nickels and pennies as the crowd swarmed past.
