It takes a highly clever actor to adapt himself to the new environment of a vaudeville. In nearly every instance he regards his dip into vaudeville as a vast condescension on his part, and looks down on the legitimate variety actor as a being belonging to an essentially lower orbit, a being of a distinctly cruder grade. The variety man meanwhile detests the interloping actor with all his soul. The fact that the star of the moment draws just about three times as big a salary as he does is enough to madden him, but there are usually abundant reasons as well.
