before 1912:
Nagadoches, Texas is now the survivor of an explosion of comedic Marx Brothers.
In the middle of our production of School Days some guy ran into our theatre and shouted that there was a runaway mule outside and the audience nearly killed each other trying to get out to see this ass.
Julie, Milton and I had been wanting to let loose and improve our way through School Days for a while and with the audience gone Ma couldn't stop us. The other actors had to flee to the wings as the three of us began roughing it up onstage, swinging, tripping, tumbling around while ripping our costumes and knocking the scenery about. After a while, the audience showed up again, and instead of continuing with the normal scene, we were so annoyed with them that we began heckling them.
Julie turned to the audience and called out, "Nagadoches is full of roaches!" and "Well one jackass always attracts more jackasses!!" Instead of booing us of stage like we expected, the audience laughed. They kept laughing right through the show.
Unfortunately, we had to pay for the broken sets and fixtures. In the end we made a net profit of minus seven dollars.
So Ma's calling Uncle Al to get the money so we can get out of this place.
Hey folks, vaudeville can get out of control.
