Wabash Avenue Cofyriset, 1890. by Jean White, Boston ~) HAROLD 6. Utt LIBRA.-*' BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY PROVO, UTAH PROMPTING : HOW TO DO IT. This little work, while it covers all the known modern square dances, is designed solely for the purpose of assisting those desirous of making prompting a business ; hence the uninitiated will not find a few suggestions out of place. HINTS. Be a gentleman always ; many questions will be asked, and many minds to please. Answer each in a pleasant manner in every instance. Authority. — Should any complain of the tempo adapted by the orchestra, too slow, too fast, inform such that you are playing according to the instructions of the floor manager- to whom you pleasantly refer them, adding that you will willingly change it if it is his wishes. Complaints. — Complaints of any character regarding the orchestra, etc., should be treated in a similar manner. The floor director is the sole authority, or his substitute in his absence. In the case of a new party, or no instructions regard- ing tempo, watch the effect of the music, and change if it seems too fast or too slow. Commencing. — At a signal from the floor director the cornet should sound the call for forming sets. At another signal from him commence the dance. Square Dances. — Prompting is used only with square dances, quadrilles, Lancers, etc. Quadrilles, Lancers, etc., are made up of numbers, and a combination of figures are given to each number, the whole forming one set. PROMPTING: HOW TO DO IT. Figures. — A single figure requires eight bars of music; Ladies' chain, first four right and left, promenade, etc., are all single figures. Two Calls. — Figures requiring two calls, such as half right and left, etc., give the first call on the eighth bar, the last on the fourth. Invariably finish calling before the strain begins, otherwise the dancers will be behind, which detracts from their pleasure and the general effect. Ladies' Grand Chain. — The correct amount of music for this figure is eight bars, but by some sixteen mea- sures are used ; hence the prompter must be on the alert, and make the calls accordingly. Usually, before the first quadrille is completed, the prompter can tell if the party dance in correct time. Call thus, when four are used : Balance partners (corners), (4); turn partners (corners), (4). Grand Right and Left. — It is well to make this call' Right hand to partner, grand right and left. All Promenade Around the Hall is the last call for all square dances. Substitute "to seats" when not in a hall. Head of Hall. — Usually the head of the hall is at the end where the orchestra is seated. If the orchestra be placed on one side, the floor director will announce the head of the hall. The Voice. — Do not strain the voice under any circum- stances; the effect is injurious, and will soon render it useless. A few lessons in elocution, for the purpose of learning to throw out the voice, as in singing, will prove money w r ell invested. Tones through the nose or down in the throat are thick and not easily understood. The more natural the tone, simply adding power, the better the effect. Use sufficient force to be heard by those farthest off. It is not the prompter who makes the most "noise" who is always the easiest understood. Use extra care on the first quadrille ; as a rule, it is the hardest to call, and is a temptation to strain. At intermission or supper, milk, tea, or water are better for the voice than coffee.

Learning. — Commit to memory one set of figures of a quadrille, for example, and call aloud and with the music 8 PROMPTING: HOW TO DO IT. until perfectly learned and the calls exactly in time; then take up the next. The first attempts are nervous times at the best, so that all calls should be perfectly committed in the order they are to come, leaving- nothing to memorandums or books before entering the hall. Practice with the music until the calls are thoroughly mastered on time, and distinct. Planning, New. — In making up new figures or combi- nations, count the strains of music, and adapt the calls to the strains ; four strains, of eight measures each ; two eight-measure strains, and one-eight-measure strain repeated; two repeated eight-measure strains or two sixteen-measure strains will admit four single figures. ANNOUNCEMENTS. To many this part of a prompter's duties is the most difficult, particularly to those who have not a faculty for impromptu announcements. Under all circumstances a few well-chosen words, to the point, are the best and all that is necessary. Long- winded speeches are out of place. When sets are formed and ready for the dance is the best time, unless required at once ; and for those to' whom it is difficult we append a few forms which will be found to cover the usual happenings, and can be modified to suit the circumstances : — A Pan Lost. — The Management wish me to announce that a lady' s fan has been lost ; any one finding it will confer a favor by leaving it at the platform, or with the floor director. (A pin, a shawl, or any article can be substituted for "fan.") Scarf Pin Found. — A gentleman's scarf pin has been found, which the owner can have, by calling at the plat- form. Changing the Order. — The floor director requests me to announce that the next dance, number on the order, will be a instead of a . Omission. — Owing to the lateness of the hour, No. on the order will be omitted. PROMPTING: HO W TO DO IT. Extra. — The next dance will be the {first, second, etc.) extra. It will be a {name). Last Car. — The Management request me to announce that the last car will leave for {town) at {hour). Supper Tickets. — I have been requested to announce that the supper tickets can be had of , in the -, at {price) each. Continued. — The Management have decided to continue the dance until {hour). Supper. — At the conclusion of the next dance the gentle- men will please escort the ladies to the supper-room {banquet hall). Next Party. — The next party, the Management wish me to announce, will be held here on evening {date), same hour. THE MARCH. Balls are generally opened with a Grand March, which is led by the floor director and aids, followed by the rest of the company. As a rule, after the Grand March the Sicilian Circle is formed, thus : — SICILIAN CIRCLE. L G > 91 © 7 v V O j ® Note - L- lady; G— gent. IO PROMPTING : HOW TO DO IT. SICILIAN CIRCLE. The Sicilian Circle is formed in couples facing in a circle around the hall. The first call is given before playing. Four hands round (4) ; turn partners (4) ; right and left (8) ; ladies' chain (8) ; all forward (4) ; pass by (4). Repeat these calls ten or twelve times, according to the number in the party, then call : — All balance partners (4) ; turn partners (4) ; promenade round the hall (8) . QUADRILLES. Quadrilles, Lancers, and all square dances are formed with four couples in each set, the lady on the right of the gent, thus : — (head of hall.) First couple. 1 2 L G Third couple. Fourth couple. 9 T I Z Second couple. In changes which commence with first couple, as Jirst couple lead to the right, etc., etc., the next couple is the one on the right, or the third couple, etc. The lady and gent marked 1 are the first two in Jirst two forward, the next two forward are marked 2, the next two are marked 3, and the last two are marked 4, PROMPTING: HOW TO DO IT. \\ TWELVE PLAIN QUADRILLES. FIRST. The orchestra plays the first 8 bars of each number before calling, unless otherwise stated.
