^^ii^lig^^^^^^^^^^ (oA^ °^^o9^°f.c:t-i I cz/=\czi CD Jo'^To'ir Hageman^s Make-Up Book By MAURICE HAGEMAN Price, 25 cents The importance of an effective make-up is becoming more appar^ ent to the professional actor every year, but hitherto there has been no book on the subject describing the modern methods and at the same time covering all branches of the art. This want has now been filled. Mr. Hagsman has had an experience of twenty years as actor and stage-manager, and his well-known literary ability has enabled him to put the knowledge so gained into shape to be of use to others. The book is an encyclopedia of the art of making up. Every branch of the subject is exhaustively treated, and few ques- tions can be asked by professional or amateur that cannot be an- swered by this admirable hand-book. It is not only the best make- up book ever published, but it is not likely to be superseded by any other. It is absolutely indispensable to every ambitious actor. CONTENTS Chapter I. General Remarks.

HOFFMAN Copyright 1916 By The Dramatic Publishing Company CHICAGO THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY ^' DEC 26 1916 ©CID 45744 NOTHING DOING •I Monologue for a Man or Woman. There is no doubt but that women are usurping all the trades and professions that men used to rule. Why, I've heard that in a certain town in Kansas they're going to let the women run the fire department. What do you think of that? Think of all the men that'll want to be chief. And then, can you imagine the scene some day at a fire — the women have seized their oxy- dized silver fire axes — they run up on the ladders in their rainy day skirts — with five thousand excited men looking up from below. And then if one of the men should cry out, "Say there, girls, jomy hose is turned." Can you see them all stop to look at their stockings ? Then again — picture a bitter cold wintry night — the fire girls have all been tucked away for the night in their cozy little beds up in the loft — when suddenly the alarm of fire rings out at 2 G. M. Would it not be a great and glorious sight, ladies and gentlemen, espe- cially the gentlemen, to see the brave girls spring from their warm little cots, their bare tootsie-wootsies on the cold floor — unmindful of the loss of sleep, not fearing the dangers before them — would it not, I say, my friends, be a glorious sight to see them rushing hither and thither, with noWe, set, purposeful faces — looking for their curling irons? And then how inspiring it would be to see them take their wads of chewing gum from the heads of their beds. Then the hunt for their powder rags and open-work shirt waists. Then they put on their bloomers and slide down the brass poles — each one eager to be the first — to look in the mirror to see if their helmets are on straight. Then Maggie hollers to Lizzie to put a pin in the back of her belt. 3 4 NOTHING DOING By this time they are eager to start. They put on their white mousquetaire gloves, spring upon the en- gines and hose carts and are about to start when one of the girls cries out, "Say, girls, did the dressmaker bring me my new Spring macintosh ? No ? Well, then, I can't go, that's all. Do you think I'd go out in the street with this last year 's rubber coat ? Well, I should say not. Why, I wouldn't wear the old rag to a dog fight." So the captain goes to the dressmaker's, while the others go to the fire. That is, they go to what was a fire. But while they've been making their toilettes some horrid men have been there and put it out. But if there is any fire there when they do get there, they'll find out that they can't use the engine because Mamie Smith is using it to bake a fruit cake. So they order her to go up on the burning building, but she won't do it, because she has on a new shirt waist and don't want to get it scorched. Ajnd if they 'd ever get in a chocolate cream factory they'd all burn up. Why, if women ever ran the fire department whole towns would be burned up every day. Bachelors would go around setting fire to their houses and then they'd climb up on the roof just to have their lives saved by some pretty fire lassie. And if an old maid came up to save him he'd jump in the fire. And, girls, what a cinch it would be. Think of all the men you could catch in your net. Then they talk about having women jockeys. But what 's the use ? The women carry all the men 's money anyway. When you come to think of it, a woman is a great deal like a race horse. In the first place, most men go broke on them. You never can tell what's in 'em by the odds. The favorites are often the dubs. The long shots often land the big stakes, and the men that know the least about the game generally pick the win- ners. ' They run badly under the whip and are liable to throw you any time, but they're thoroughbreds in the home stretch. ^ And I tell you one thing, if Eve had been wise and had an eye to business, she could have made that snake NOTHING DOING 5 look like thirty cents. She could have filled the Garden of Eden with bargain sales during the day. She should have had on all the trees signs reading : Parisian Styles for Rainy Days." She could have done an enormous business and had a branch office in every tree. And at night they could have had a vaudeville show, 10, 20 and 30 cents. They would have had no trouble in find- ing an "Angel" for the enterprise. Cain and Abel could have done their famous ''knock- about" act. You know, Abel was an able performer, but Cain was a stick, but he could always make a hit. They could have concluded the show with Adam's edu- cated snakes. They could have kept open all night, because nobody could make them close (clothes). And after Eve had left the Garden of Eden and had gone to playing one-night stands she could have put on " The Lost Paradise. ' ' But she would never be content. She was invited to an apple gathering, and she found fault because she had nothing to wear. But, on the other hand, Eve is the only woman on record that never turned around to see what the other woman had on. It's the naked truth ; simply the bare facts. But, of course. Eve or no other woman could do everybody — everything. As progressive as she is, woman today cannot be a letter carrier, be'- cause it would take too much of her time to read all the postal cards. And no woman could ever keep from tampering with the mails (males). Imagine a woman letter carrier delivering a sweet little perfumed note, in effeminine hand writing to her own husband. But she could be a politician. You can see her in rough rider costume at the polls on election day. A woman walks up to her and wants to sell her vote for a dollar. She says : ''No I'll not buy your vote for a dollar; it isn't worth it." The other woman says: "Will you buy it for 98 cents?" She says: "Why didn't you say so in the first place. Give me two votes for $1.96." They'd never let a dressmaker get an office, because 6 . NOTHING DOING they'd say she was supported by the machine. Woman? Why, if woman was running for an office she'd be on everybod}?^ 's lips if she had to kiss every man in the country. If a woman was ever elected President of these United States, the first thing; she 'd do would be to make every year a leap year. But there's no danger, we will never have a woman President. Where is the woman that would confess to being over thirty-five years old? Then she 'd abolish all divorce laws ; put a heavy tax on bachelors; make Congress a sewing circle, and no man would be allowed in the Senate unless he knew how to crochet. Of course, the last wouldn't be such a great change, because there are a whole lot of old women in our Senate now. Joe Raggks OR THE GIRL MINER A Comedy Drama in Fout Acts By FRANK J.
