AHIBERT ARIZONA.

In this artist, -whose Illustration appears

on the preceding page, we form the acquain-

tance of one of the best stage producers of,

the present day. Arlbert Arizona la n en-

tire of Germany end baa had a career of

activity and varied experience in all branches

ut art. Bom In 1872, he first appeared on

the stage when only all years of age, and

since then he has devoted his entire time to

lie development of hla profession.

After years of wandering as vaudeville

artist, he, in the late eighties, on advice of

the well-known Austrian actor, Frledrlcb

Hlttcrwurzer, under whose artistic. Instruc-

tion ho was greatly benefited, turned to the

dramatic stage, and as lending man and

juvenile, gained great success, especially In

Shakespearean characters, such as Romeo,

Hamlet, etc., which, portrayed in masterly

manner, were his principal roles, lie also

appeared with Joseph Kalnz, and uadouibt-

edly his experience with this groat producerhad great Influence In tlio artistic develop;merit of Arizona.

Arizona Is an artist in the full sense of theword. In addition to his remarkable quali-

ties as stage organizer, he is capable himselfof producing an entire vaudeville program.He is not only a brilliant, resourceful Illu-

sionists, but Is also well versed lnjuggllng andlightning crayon work, and Is an Impersona-tor and clay modeler. He plays a large num-ber of various musical Instruments, can com-pose, writes his own lyrics and music, andoriginates all the designs for all the cos-

tames for his productions, and paints bisown decorations. In all of these accom-plishments lie Is at the belt. To prove theextent of his ambition to excel In the art of

Fainting ma; he stated the fact that ho wasor several years a student at the Itoyal

Academy of Berlin.The well known American manager, Richard

Pltrot, during his last European trip, bookedArizona for an American tour extending overtwo years. Arizona's great illusion act em-braces a working personnel of twenty-fivemembers, and the appurtenances carried rep-resent a weight of fifteen tons. Arizona will

produce in America all of his wonderful nov-elties.

lie Is also connected with several corpora-tions who have undertaken to produce hisgreat productions under bis direction. Oneof tlic first of thcao to be staged will be theglcnntlc ballet, "Nero," with one hundred andlltt.v performers.

following tlio was placed under the care of

a Mrs. Colley, an expert vocal culturlst of

Chicago. Later Wagner, another noted music

teacher of the West, gave her further In-

struction. Ths throat grew stronger under

Miss Florede's own care, and soon the vo ce

broadened Into exquisite depth and sweet in-

tonation. Attout seven years ago J. J. Mur-doch: secured her for the Masonic TempleHoof, In Chicago, and billed her as the "Lily

of Melody." She then Joined the "FoxyQulller" organization and remained with this

company one season, to go with Rogers

Brothers for two seasons, when she diverted

Into vaudeville. Her first experience with a

burlesque attraction was during the season

of lOOli-JO, when sho signed as prima donnawith Plxon's Big Bevlew company. The fol-

lowing season she Joined the Columbia Bur-

lesnuers and affixed her signature to a Jacobs

& Jermon contract, which called for a large

salary and which extends as far as the year

NELLE FLOREDE.Nolle Kloredc, the capricious and winsome

queen of the burlesque and vaudeville stage,

was horn lu Morrison, 111., 1681. She first

caught a taste of stage life when but nine

years old. This happened In Portland, Ore.,

when Henry Ulxey was playing "Adonis."Nolle wns with her father at the time, andDlxoy, being minus a page, necessary In thecast, Induced Papa Klorede to allow bisdaughter to fill the vacancy. After a shorttravel with a repertoire company throughthe Southern States, she retired to a conventla 1'ortland In order to complete her educa-tion, and from there she went to Ch.cagowhere she schooled until the age of fifteen.

At this period, through an Illness that last-

ed six months, she iopt complete control ofartlcnlntlon. Competent medical care, how-ever, restored this function, and It was only

then when her parents discovered what anextraordinary good voire their daughter wasendowed with. A local voice culturlst de-

clared that with proper attention and nour-

ishment, the little lady's singing accomplish-ments would eventually develop Into wonder-ful power and marvelous range. Six weeks

PROMIBENT INDEPENDERT

FILM MANUFACTURERS

CARL. LAEMMLE.Cart Lseramle, president of tbe Indepeod-

eut Moving Pictures Co. of America ("TheImp"), is regarded as the leading and mostprcgresslye spirit on the Independent side ofthe moving picture business In the UnitedStates which, but for him and his example,It Is conceded, would not be In the flourish-ing condition that It Is to-day.

Ur. Laemmle's first association with Thebusiness was In Chicago six years ago, aa anexhibitor, la which he was exceedingly suc-cessful. From exhibiting to film renting wasa natural step, which led to the formationof the chain of popular exchanges whichbear his name.

In the Bummer of 1909, finding It Impossi-ble to obtain the films he needed, he resolvedto make them himself. In an Incrediblyshort space of time the "Imp" factory wasstarted and In full operation.To-day the Imp pictures have the largest

Bale of wiy Independent product In this coun-try, and are sold and exhibited nil over thoworld.

thM

C'i.£?eSmle !

8„y0nnS ,n JW»i be' * on

tW.HsJstaM* of forty-five. In the picture

all before him." At the present moment he

Is busily engaged In schemes of great enter-prise and Importance, with the object of sus-taining the Imp pictures In tbe foremost po-sition they have won, by every possible Im-provement In quality, artistic and technical.

' MME, ALICE BLAOHE.Mme. Alice Blache, president of the Solax

Company, In an Interview with a Clipperrepresentative, thus gave her views of movingpicture requirements

:

"I have always believed In clean pictures

;

pictures which educate aa well as entertain.

In directing the producing policy of my com-pany I have always Impressed upon my asso-

ciate directors that success comes only to

those who give the public what It wants,

plus something else. That something else I

would call our Individuality, If you please.

"I have long recognized the great Influence

that can be exerted hy the motion picture onthe public mind. I have always felt that

pictures will recommend themselves to the

public on their educational merits. The daysof tho unclean pictures are gone. 1 person-

ally have always condemned them.

"Our policy to-day, which I have instituted.

Is to produce as many high-class educational

pictures and comedies of the refined type as

we are able to secure. At present there Is a

dearth la good educational pictures and In

refined comedy scenarios.

"I was the director with the QaumontCompany of Paris for a good many years. I

have produced some of the biggest produc-tions ever released by a motion picture com-pany. I am the only woman who Is directingcompanies before tbe camera."

DAVID HORSLEY,Scarcely had the Motion Picture Patents

Co. become aa accomplished fact, when thevoice of Independence rang out from thepeaceful New York suburb known as Bay-or.ne, N. J. "Centaur," The simon pare In-rependent film was launched by Its maker,David Horsley. now president and managerof the Nestor Film Company, end a power Inthn world of cinematography.Those were dark days for the Independent

cnuse, and a less determined man tban Ur.Horsley would hava given up the unequal andseemingly hopeless struggle. His steadinessof purpose, Indomitable energy and unyield-ing perseverance, however. won bore fruitand recruits began to gather around the flagof Independence. The outcome Is the MotionPicture Distributing and Sales Co.

David Horsley, tbe pioneer Independentfllm manufacturer, and the man who madeNestor famous as "The Worth-Whlle Film,"Is in the very prime of life, being on thesunny side of forty. In fllmdom none It

more popular than Dave," aa his numerousfriends are wont to call him.Tbe Nestor factories and main offices are

In Bayonne, N. J., and the Nestor studios,with three distinct stock companies, are atHollywood, Cal.

ADAM KES9EL JR.Adam Kesscl Jr. was one of the pioneers

In the Independent movement, taking an ac-

tive part In tbe original organizing of tbeNational Independent Motion Picture Alli-

ance. He wss elected treasurer at tho Chi-cago convention out of which evolved theMotion Picture Distributing and Sales Co.To-day, Mr. KeBsel Is one of the best knownmen In the fllm business. Among his Inter-ests In the fllm line be Is president of theNew York Motion Picture Co., and the Em-pire Film Co.

P. A. POWERS.P. A. Powers has been In the moving pic-

ture business since Its very Inception as acommercial proposition. His experience asan exchange man dates back about tlx years,and three years ago he became a manu-facturer. You might say that his severeloss by fire last June has merely served to

strengthen his determination to lead his fel-

low manufacturers, and that determinationIs represented to-day in his new Duplexstudio, at 611 West Forty-second Street, NewYork.This Is one of the most modem of studios,

embracing two stages with a novel schemefor shifting the lighting apparatus so thatwhile a director Is working on one stage, bisnext set is being put up on the other.- Hebas the distinction Of having featured one ofthe most expensive Broadway stars In amoving picture, namely, Nat M. Wills, andnow that his facilities are so highly perfected,he promises more surprises to the trade.

s

MARK If. DINTENPASS,Mark M. Dintentass, president of the Cham-

pion Film Co., was one of the pioneers In theIndependent movement. Probably there Isnot another man In the film business who hasbeen through the hardships of disappointmentso many times as Mr. Dintentass. Butthrough bis perseverance and bard work thefuture looks very bright for the Champion Co.On Dec. 15, 1911, the offices were moved fromFifteenth Street to 145 West Forty-fifthStreet. A new glass studio has been com-pleted at Fort Lie, N. J., end with tbe oldplant, which was erected at the time of theIndependent war, the Champion Co. bas to-day one of tbe most complete plants In thecountry.

HERBERT MILES.Herbert Miles has been Justly called the

"Father of Moving Pictures of America."From Its very Inception he has been closelyIdentified with the Industry ; he has been Inturn, exhibitor, exchange man end manu-facturer. Unlike others, Mr. Miles knowsthe moving picture business from A to Z, or,in other words, from camera to projectingmachine.

Controlling at one time the largest fllmexchange In the world, he became aware ofthe need of quality pictures, and, as generalmanager of the Republic Film Company, heIs bending every effort to obtain tbe bestresults.

Knickerbocker Motion Picture Co,, Is one ofthe few men that are at the controlling endof the fllm producing business that startedat tbe foot of the ladder in the theatricalworld, and bas worked himself op to theposition be holds to-day. Mr. Levy waiformerly a producer for Pa the Frerea.

JULIAN ELTIflGE

,

Whose picture appears on the front coTer of

this issue, has, In a little over one season,

von the distinction' of being one of the most

popular as well as one of the biggest money-

making stars on the American stage. He la

now m his second season In the Otto Hauer-

bach musical play. "The Fascinating Widow,"

under the able management of A. 3. Woods,

and from the tremendous business It Is doing

tn cities where It has been seen before, it

looks as though be could, If Manager Woods

o desired, continue In the same vehicle tor

at least two more seasons. Although the

cleverest of all the character actors who Im-

personate women. Eltlnge Is all boy, and

that Is why be la so well liked when garbed

in female attire. There Is uot the least bit

at femininity about him, and be la just as

manly a man oft the stage as be Is a pretty

girl on. Bltlnge Is in a class by hlmaelf in

his particular line of work. It was far from

the clever young actor's desire to be-

come an Impersonator of the gentler sex

when he adopted the stage for a liveli-

hood. It was Bltlnge's ambition to be a

juvenile leading man, and his only reason

for becoming an actor at all was the fact

that there was more money In It than being

a bank clerk In Boston, at a paltry salary.

When Robert Barnett, author of "1492," was

rehearsing the bank clerks for an amateur

performance at the Tremont Theatre, Boston,

be was approached by Bltlnge, who asked

him to put him In the show. He said he

could sing and dance, and was given an op-

portunity. Something In Eltinge's pertness

appealed to Barnett, so be kept a watchful

eye on him. He waa put through his paces,

acrobatic dancing, Including splits, and even

when he was not rehearsing he waa busy at

one side of the stage practising his dance

steps. This attracted not only the attention

of the company, but of Barnett It was not

long before Eltlnge was told to get himself

up for the soubrette part In the play, even

though it deposed an older man who had

been cast for the part The success of El-

tlnge in this performance gave him the part

In "Miss Simplicity," which Barnett produced

later for the Boston Cadets. Bltlnge admits

that he was crude, but it passed for amateur

acting. He then decided to become a pro-

fessional.

He had a hard struggle and there were

many disappointments, but when he wasmost discouraged his fighting spirit would be

aroused. He went on and up raising him-

self from a salary of S200 a week to S1.7S0,

the sum he received the last week be played

In vaudeville.

A. H. Woods had his eye on Eltlnge for twoyears to make a star of him. and while theterms were satisfactory to the clever actor,

be refused the offer until Woods found the

aire and adding thousands of dollars to theA. H. Woods fortune.

lie displayed a keen business sense In theselection of a stage name. When he was aschoolboy In Butte, Mont, he had a class-

mate named Eltlnge. It was difficult for theboys to get the right pronunciation of thoname, ana they teaBed the lad by calling blm"Eltlngy," "Eltlnjy," and with other vari-

ants of the name. Mr. Eltlnge Raid that heknew that the name of William Dalton wouldhave little significance, so he selected thename of Eltlnge for stage purposes, as hewas sure that the fact that the name offers

so much opportunity for mispronunciationwould but serve to fix it more firmly withtho public. He was right, as very tew getthe correct pronunciation. The name shouldbe pronounced with the hard sound of "g,"

or a 8 though there was no final sound of "e.

'

Eltlnge will play "The Fascinating Widow"for at least another season, but he is alreadyworking on a new comedy which will be in

the nature of a detective play. This willgive him an opportunity for numerouschanges of costume. In order to keep him-self In condition, he has to follow ratber arestricted diet during the play season.»

THE] GREAT RAYMOND.Maurice F. Raymond, known to all nations

of the earth as "The Great Raymond," 1b nowcompleting bis third triumphal 'round the

world tour wilh his colossal "Miracle" enter-'

ta lament.

His five yours abroad have been years ofgreat achievement. In addition to havingamassed a fortune he has met with unusualsuccess in an artistic sense. He has enter-tained kings, queens and emperors, and hasreceived many "decorations."

Just at present he is playing In India, toI be greatest business ever done there by amagician.He Is returning to the United Stales by

way of Burma, Slam. China, Japan, theFhlllpplno and Sandwich Islands.As will be seen by reference to his ad-

vertisement In this Issue of oar paper, he Isready to receive offers of tlmo for season of1912-13, ?r}m managers of first class theatres.

P1TR0T AMONG THE SPIRITS,

Pltrot Is Just driving very fast, eighteenmiles an hour, on a cloud aeroplane. Whenhe reaches the door of the heavens he knocksthree times. St. Peter answers and says:"Who Is the knocker?' Pltrot answers: "Iam not a knocker ; I come not from the Put-man Building, but direct from 47 WestTwenty-eighth Street, In New York." "Oh 1"

says St Peter, "That's a difference. Pleasecome In, and make everything as comfortableas possible." I sit down on a beautiful cloud

'Yes," I said, "Mr. Pas-Three Romer Sons Birds. These Homers '

ask : "Yon mean the King of Sweden?""Noooo." he says; "Oscar Hammersteln, thegreatest theatrical bricklayer and cigar manu-facturer." "Oh, my former partner, Mr.Hammersteln I"

I told him, he Is doing very well, and his

tor, and you treated me really very good. Be-lieve me, Mr. Pastor, yon can be proud thatall the profession loves you still as the fatherof the vaudeville business, and they willnever forget what you have done tor theactors In past days." After this, I shookFrank D. Bryan's band, and told him "I bringyou fine, great good news. Your dear daugh-ter, Gertie, at present rhe makes at the LyricTbeutre in the play, entitled 'Little BoyBlue,' a great success, and all New Yorktalks about her. If the goes on tn this pro-

canapce, and St. Peter right away Introduces

me to a dozen beautiful angels, and I recog-

nize right away the faces of some chorus

girls from Broadway. St Peter says to me:"Do you want to see a serpentine dancefrom my angels?" I say to him: 'Don't

do it ; I am sick and tired of those serpen-

tine dances." Then I ask St. Peter : "How Is

this that these angels up here wear moreclothes than the angels on Broadway?" Hesays: "Never mind, that's none of your busi-

ness." Then I ask him: "Could I see someof my friends?" He say : "Certainly." Hetouch an electric button and Fat Rellly, the

heavens' messenger boy, arrives. Peter tells

him : "Tell Albert Blal, of Koster A Blal, to

come out, sb Mr. Pltrot wants to see blm."

When Mr. Blal steps Into the cloud parlor

lie Is surprised to find Mr. Pltrot there. Heask me right away: "How Is the theatrical

business down there 7" and I answer: "Thankyou, pretty rotten. There Is a lot of changes

since you left New York." Just then Mr.George Koster walks In and Jolna our conver-

sation on the past of the music halls. Kos-

ter ask me : "Do you want a glass of cloudy

laser?" I say: "Thank you." Also 1 tell

them: "Since you left there were various

Imitators of you, but thero was only one

Koster A Blal Muelc Hall In America." Kos-

ter A Blal were the first managers to Import

all the big European novelties. Mr. Albert

Blal went every year to Europe, ano any goodnovcltlCB he found he booked for his MusicHall In New York. There Is some names of

European novelties he has Introduced to the

American public: MlUy Vlol«»a (the wife of

has Invited the king and queen of Englandfor his opening performance to come overespecially from India to London. He hasalso introduced many great American novel-ties In London. For rhe Easter holidays hewill give away to the audience green stamps,and If you have so many thousand greenrtampg, yon get a free ticket for the Vic-toria Theatre, In New York, and this Is theway how the Victoria Theatre la New Yorkfurnished the money for the opera house in

London. Never mind, all the people and thonewspapers everywhere know that Oscar la areal wonder and a genius. Bat, I must say,my dear Mr. Blal, thero wns never In exist-

ence la Europe a single man that could ran agrand opera bouse with big stars at profit.

After this, anotber gentleman walks In theparlor; he looks very strange to me, and I

ask him, "Who are you?" He says. "Youdon't know me. I am Harry Williams, fromPittsburg. You remember, I wss very goodto you when I played bouse shows In teeAcademy of Mualc. In Pittsburg. Once I

booked you there, and then found out I badnt the same time a combination at my bouse,so I wrote you a nice letter, and told you,you must excuse me I could not play youthat week, but you could pick out nnotberdate that 70a liked, and enclosed find a certi-fied check for the amount of the salary forthe week I had ooosed you and could not playyou."

"Oh, now I remember yon, Mr. Williams.That kind of business Is oast." After wshad made a lot of noise there walked la TonyPastor, Lords Behmsn, Frank D. Bryan, and

grcss she will sure be the biggest stnr Inmusical comedy, and you can really be proudof your great little clever daughter, Ger-trude."

Ilicn Mr. Bebman says: "I told you so."Also Dehman says to me. "Do you rememberwhen you played for mo la tho Adams Streethouse In Brooklyn?" I say: "Yes, I playedmanry times for you, ana each time youcluicged the building around. I must tell youthat you are another fellow Moved and neverforgotten by the profession. They have neverforgotten that you never took any commis-sion from the poor artists, because most ofthe time you made the contracts without anyngentf), and through this you have savedmoney for the profession as much ns youcould. This part Is now different; iliey takeoil kinds of commission and extra money aswell, and are doing the profession as good asthey can."

After this I meet the great founder of theOrpheum circuit, tiustav Walter. He walksover to me, and holds In his band a verylarge German sausage, and sa.vs : "Pltrot,that's the cause I am here." He asks me:"How Is everything on earth, and I told himthe Orpheum circuit Is Btltl a grout success,and they are still running In your footsteps.And really you are the man who has madesome people at present great on the Orpheumcircuit. There are sow some other circuitsout West which are progressing very large—Sullivan ft Considlne, and the Great Pantagetcircuit. Alexander Pontages Is really a won-der what he has dons In such a abort time tobuild up alt by himself such a great circuit

GERTRUDE BRYAN.Gertrude Bryan, the dainty prima donna

in Henry W, Savage's latest and most Im-portant musical operetta production of thisseason, "Little Boy Blue," now running atthe Lyric Theatre, has shown In her briefcareer just what can be done when one getsright down to bard work.

Miss Bryan Is the daughter of the lataFrank Bryan, who was very well known invaudeville for his one act playlet called"The Military Man." Her mother was aprima donna In the days when Gilbert andSullivan, In England, ruled the land withtbelr merry, tuneful operas.

Practically born, bred and raised in a con-vent, Miss Bryan was taught all the arts ofaccomplishment which tone and finish a youngwoman for any vocation she chooses to fol-low. Miss Bryan, as the prima donna of thebrilliant Savage production of "Little BoyBlue," has the distinction of being the young-est woman on the stage holding such an en-viable position.Not only has Miss Bryan mastered the

Intricacies of music, but languages as wellhave come In tor their fair share of atten-tion. French, Italian and German are asfamiliar to Miss Bryan as English, and,withal, the out-of-door sports, which are sorarely an accomplishment of women, are notstrangers to this vivacious and active littlegirl. Angling Is one of the favored sports of -

Miss Bryan. Golf, too, comes 1.1 for a (hareof her attention. Horseback riding and ten-nis are also In Miss Bryan's curriculum ofoutdoor exorcise.

Miss Bryan's first appearance was In Mr.Savage's production of "The Wife Tamers."Here she played but a amall part, but workedconscientiously. She was shifted to "TheMerry Widow," and again had but a "bit"to do, but so faithful was Miss Bryan In do-ing that work. It was not long before Mr.Savage suddenly decided to let her try theleading role of Sonla, In "Tho Merry Widow."And hero she proved herself a real "find"for Mr. Savage, who Is ever watchful in thodevelopment of rare talent. And now, afterhard work, the opportunity of her young life

has come In the leading role of "Little BoyBlue." All who have seen her play the title

role have been delightfully impressed, andmarvel at the wonderful brightness andyouthful abandon of Miss Bryan.

Now, I must tell you. we have many differenttheatrical papers, and tbey are printed In allcolors—red, groeu, yellow, blue, white, andthe color of oach paper shows Its policy.The White Paper Is, of course. Tub Oi.n Its-i.fable, and Is keeping with great successI he same course for the past fifty years ' thi>

worst of them all Is the foreign yellow paperwhich writes the articles In an anarchisticmanner, and has made a lot of trouble duringthe past few years between managers andprofession."Now St. Peter Introduces me to Mr, George

Llmann, formerly of the theatrical agency,Hermann & Llmann, Fourth Street and Bow-ery. Later he was by himself on the Four-teenth Street, next to the famous Germanrestaurant of Luchows. There It waa whereMr. William Morris started as an office boy,and he has developed so greatly that be Is

really an expert In the vaudeville businessnow. I know for sure that be Is the onlyman In tho world who knows how to puttogether a really first class vaudeville show,and he has proven it when be put the vaude-ville shows together for Klaw A Erlanger,and bis own shows on the William Morriscircuit. At an agent he was always abso-lutely straight In his business, and he wasalways the right medium between managerand actor. My opinion la that he Is at pres-

ent mora boloved by all the profession thananybody else In the vaudeville business.

Mr. George Llmann asked me bow I dobusiness now. I say to blm. "Thank youvery much. I am the only independent manIn this business In the world," ''Now tell mebow the rest are doing." "The agency busi-

ness In New York, after Harry Mountfordwith his clever trick work and the WhiteRats, brought out the new agency law. thebusiness for all tho agents la New York Is a'get-rlch-qulck' business. It la 10 great tbateverybody In New York In the theatrical busi-

ness Is an agent. Even young Hennessey andyoung Albee are agents, Morrti Grau be Is

now putting out books, and you con get forII vo dollars very nice works. Every step I

take on Broadway 1 meet an agent, end thePutnam Building at present Is really a goldmine—or, as I call It, a modern 'In-full-dress'

hold up, and Is especially patronized by the'Big Chief,' and the brother of the directorof the Berlin 'WIntergarten' Is still his pri-

vate detective,"

And now Mr. P. T, Barnum and James A.Bailey walked In, and Mr. Barnum says tome, "Hollo, Globe Trotter, how Is every-thing?" and I mude a big worship to blm sayonly "Allcumm. Dear Mr. Barnum, theyare missing you now very much In New York,ob you are rcully the Father of the ShowBusiness. I remember still your great saying.The world must be humbugged,' end they arsdoing Just the same as before.

"At present they arc playing In this country'Sumurun,' and tho newspapers are making agreat fuss about this German. Max Iteln-

iirdt. This Is a very old adaptation, and I

nyself flayed In It about forty years ago, atthe great Avcrlno Theatre in Prog, Bohemia.This was a similar building to the Hippo-drome In New York : It was very large, badabout ISA boxes, and they played their ownbig pantomimes. The title of this pantomimeat that time was 'Submit,' and was abso-lutely the satno thing what thoy call to-day'Sumurun.' Mr. Avcrlno, a great puntomlmlstat tbat time, played tho principal part himself.They uro also playing in Europe since fouror Ave years in the vaudeville theatres onefisutomlme sketch. In two scenes, called 'Alarem'a Night.' This Is similar on thi» orderof 'Sumurun,' only the whole story of thispantomime is dreamt by the leading lady.Also the Idea of building a narrow bridgeover tho orchestra from the lobby to the foot-lights Is a very old Japanese Idea, and I sawIt myself when I was In Japan, In Yokohama,Tokfo, NaglBagl, Kobe and Osakl. There Isstill at present In every theatre In Japan snarrow bridge over the orchestra to the foot-

lights daring the time only (bat tbe leadingacton In tbe ploy are coming on and golnfoff."Now I meet Jacques Offenbach, tbe founder

and creator of the musical comedy and oper-etta. Tiie flrat thing he ask me it, "How )•

tie modern operetta, doing downstairs?" I

tell him, "The people are at prevent crazy onopetrctta, and the Vienna composers are all

doing very well, especially Krans Lehar, tbocomposer- of 'The Merry Widow.' lie hatmade with his 'Merry Widow' nearly one anda half million."

Offenbach answers me: "I have composedICO musical operas and operettas, and navenot made with them all as much as Mr,Lobar with bis 'Widow* alone."

I told him oIbo that tbe well known Lon-don manager, Mr. Edwardes, has given Mr.Lehar for his lnstcst work, "Eva, ' for tbeEnglish rights, (200,000. Lobar will comeoyer to America and will see bis latest pro-

duction, "Eva," and will stop at tbo HotelKnickerbocker, on the same floor with thegreat tenor, Caruso. After this anothercloud opened. I look In a beautiful, greatcloudy parlor and see tbe following group ofprominent American dramatic acton : theywere all together : Edwin Forrest, EdwinBooth, Charlotte Cuthman, Stuart Robion,Modjcska, K. A. SoUiern. Menard Mansfield,John Drew. fir. and Mrs. John Drew Sr.

When I look at tbls group of wonderful art-

ists I can see what America hat lost of

great, wonderful people. . Most all the bigstars and attractions from all countries comaover to America, as you know America Is

the greatest show country in tbe world;.everybody Is making money there, and theAmerican managers now how to put a playon and make it a success. I can tell yon I

have a lifetime experience In show business,but. I must tell yon that the best actor onthe average yon can only find In America.Of course, there are a few great stara In

Europe, but I ani only speaking about theaverage. An American actor has a great gift

that he Is more natural on the stage thanthe European actor. With the latter youcan always see when bo comes on. tbe stagethat he Is willing to act ; with the Americanactor It is different ; be always gives a real

characteristic picture from life, and the sameyou can say about the American vaudevilleperformer. I, for instance, have divided thevaudeville performers Into four classes; I

mean In reality and originality; first comesthe American performer, tben the English,then comes the Latin, and after them, atlast, the German. After my fifty years' ex-

perience, the American performer is the best

And the easiest to handle, and tbe German Is

tbe worst. Now St Peter walked In againand Invited us all to a nightcap. We hadthere so many nightcaps until the clock ontbe mantel struck three. I started up,rubbed my eyes once more, awoke, and foundthat my pipe bad gone out.

I amnot at liberty yet to tell you the whole plot,but you can taike It for granted that there Is

nothing that- treats of religious matters in afrivolous spirit. I certainly do allow char-acters to express beliefs—not necessarily mybeliefs— which might shock an orthodoxmember of this or that denomination. Whatmakes me particularly angry about It all,' Is

that no objection Is raised when people treat,for frankly spectacular purposes, an old faithwhich the majority of tbe spectators do notbold—as In 'The Miracle.'

Music Halls Committee of the London CountyCouncil points out that In tho meanwhilethe music halls are absolutely free from cen-sorship, though It Is possible that tbe newattitude, of tbe Lord Chamberlain lu regardto sketches may Involve the effcctunl estab-lishment of a censorship. But the powers ofthe London County Council, as to tho grant-ing or the withholding of music hall license!,are quite arbitrary. The original Intcntloaof tho Legislature wns no doubt to give theCounty Council authority over tbo structuraldetail of music bulla nnd theatres, with thospecial object of securing every possible pre-caution against (Ire. The tendency of theCouncil has been, however, more and more todiscipline tho music hall In all Ha details,and to arbitrarily withhold a license If lisformally expressed wishes on any matter havenot been respected, So, If a visitor to themusic hall should send to the London CountyCouncil a confidential report that a song or a

1

dance Is objectionable, an Inspector of tbeCouncil Is forthwith told off to look over theoffending performance and to report to theCouncil, which stores up its opinion untilthe next annual licensing day, then admon-ishes the applicant, and even goes to thelength of withholding bis license If be doesnot promise to behave la tbe future. It Iscertain that such an autocratic attitude ofthe Council was not originally contemplatedby the draughtsmen .of the act of Parliamentunder which the Council operates. At thesame time tbls rough and ready kind of cen-sorship has proved most effectual, and hasreally done a great deal of good for Englishvaudeville. During last year it seems theCounty Council was asked to consider "Sum-urun,'1

Onthe other, hand the Council suggested to Os-wald StoII some revision of "ltlalon," at tbeLondon Coliseum; told.

MARC KLAW IS BACK.Mure Klnw arrived in this city Feb, 6,

on the Kalserln Augusts Victoria. He saidthat he had seen several musical comedieswhile abroad that pleased him, and someof them he had arranged to produce here.Mr. Klaw went to see Franz Lebar'e "Era,"at Vienna, and "The Marriage Market," atBudapest. Doth win be produced here. '

,

Mr. Klaw accomplished a number of otherImportant deals during bis absence. "Myobjective point," he said, "waB Vienna. Wehad heard on this aide Interesting storlee

about a so-called invention, known as theIdno-Flastlcoo, and, accompanied by Harrylilsslng, our electrical expert, I went to Vien-na to see It. It waB represented to bo an In-vention to project moving pictures on a stagewithout screen or glass, giving the Illusion

of living figures.

"Wo found the Illusion to bo Interestingenough, but It happens that there Is a plateglass used In. the device and that- the Inven-tion is nothing more or less than moving pic-

tures used In conjunction with on effect whichyears ago waB known as 'Pepper's ghost.' Ineither woidn. it Is a combination of the Oldand the new, which patent lawyers assuredme could not ho protected legally."For those lessons I declined to Interest

myself la the American rights, especially asI learned that a London music hall managerand en American vaudeville manager hadlast year made a contract for virtually thesame thing.

"I attended a performance of Lchar'slatest work, 'Eva,' In Vienna. I think It oneof Lfhar's best efforts. Wo have the rightsfor this country."In London I saw 'The Count of Luxem-

bourg,' which Is still crowding Daly's Thea-tre. We shall 'produce 'Luxembourg' In theFall. In Berlin I saw "The Little Cafe.' ItIs one of the best laugh producers In years.We shall present it here next season.

"In connection with George Edwardes. I

arranged for the American rights of 'Tin;

Marriage Market' This.'operetta was writ-ten by two Hungarians and, curiously enough,hns Its scenes laid In California. Tho pieceIs an overwhelming success.

" The Quaker Girl' Is still a big success atthe Adelphl Thcntre. The Indications-are thattho Adelphl will declare a'' second dividend oftwenty per cent. In June. "The Little WorkGirl,' foy Paul Rubens, will follow 'Peggy' atthe Gaiety, ana we hold an option on theAmerican rights. ,

"I heard the score of The Pink Lady'played all over Europe, although we neverhave attempted to exploit it over there. GreatInterest 19 manifested toward our productionof the pleco at the Globe."

FROHMAN (JETS RIGHTS OF NBWBERNSTEIN PLAY, "THE

ONSLAUGHT."With the arrival, on Feb. 6. of signed con-

tracts from abroad, it was settled that HenryBernstein's neweat play, "The Onslaught,"produced recently at the Gymnose .theatre.

Pads, will bo presented hero next seajon byCharles Frohmun, and thereby hangs a tale

as true as It Ib Interesting.

According to the cablo reports that havecome from abroad within the last few days.

In "The Onslaught," tho plot of which is

largely conccrnedwlth the anti-Semitic perse-

cution of a French senator, Henry Bernsteinhas really dramatized tho anti-Semitic perse-

cution suffered by himself, when, with ''Play-

boy of the Western World"-like scores of

mobhlng and violence, the Comedle Froncalsoattempted to produce his play, "Apres Mol."Itut that there Is any connection betweenBernstein's unfortunate experiences with".Apres Mol," a year ago and tho plot of

"The Onslaught," Mr. Frohman emphaticallydenies, declaring the etatement nothing morothan tho common fallacy thnt something that

has happened after a fact has happened be-

cause of a fact.

One night thrco years ago, In tho foyer of

the theatre where, curiously enough, tho play

Ib now being acted, Henry Bernstein told

Luclcn Gultry tho plot ofr'Tho Onslaught."

At the end of tho story Gultry said to Bern-

stein : "I accept now the Paris rights of that

piny." Shortly afterwards Mr. Bernstein

crossed the English Channel and, withoutsriy injr anything of his intorview with Gul-

Iry. In n similar way told Charles KrobmnnIhe plot of "Tho Onslaught." With equal

promptness Mr. Frohman's comment on the

story was: "I want tho American rights of

rhat plav." It was then that Bernstein told

Mr. Krobmnn that this was the first play he

had ever disposed of by word of mouth n

the two largest pjay producing markets in

• "The Onslaught" Is an entirely different

Dl'ay from the manuscript that Bernstein Is

writing In English for Ethel Barrymoro'a use

next Beason. Mr. Frohman adds that "The

Onslaught," when transferred to theiEnglish-

speaking stage, will require fewer changes In

text than almost any other contemporary

French play; that, In fact. It will not need

tho hand of the adapter at all, but will stand

literal translation.. •-

Dear Rosary I

How sweet. thou art to me!With thy bright beads In opal splendor set,The radiance that from thee falls

Is like the glistening dew upon the grass.

I lore thee not alone for thine own sake,But for the one who gave thee unto meAt blessed Kaster-tlde

;

Kver shalt thou my dear companion be,And In the lone night, when the swift wind,Sweeping down the darkened street,Awaken me,Entwined upon my fingers I thy beads will

tell,

And pray for her who sent thee unto me.How gracious Is thy silence, yet If my heart

is gladThy brightness to it answers; and If I with

sorrow am beset,Thy alienee answers yet.Or In the day when* to the sunThy beads make answering ray,And I thee behold,My heart shall pray for those who friendless

are.And we In charity shall holdall in lore

;

Or when thy beads reflect the light from altarflroB,

Rcmcmb'ring those we lore, who dwell afar,Shall pray for them.»"THE BURLESQUE

LEADER/THEATRE

BY ItKN. W. HARMS.

To the uninitiated the duties of the bur-lesque theatre leader are practically un-known. Although the many burlesque or-ganizations now on the road carry their ownleaders, still, withal, the resident leader basmany things to do that enables the companygiving a first rate performance on Its open-ing, which, by the way, la the performancethat the show Is Judged for the week.There bare been many times, and there will

be many more times, when the houio leaderwas absolutely necessary In giving the show,for without him the chances of giving a first

rate performance of a company on its open-ing would have been rather allin.

Of course, when one apcaks of a good houseleader, the orchestra must not be overlooked,for a house leader cannot be good unless hehas a good orchestra to atart with, but as I

am specializing In this article, I will notmention anything further about orchestras,as I will reserve this for a future article.

In the first place, what are the duties ofa house leader In a burlesque theatre! Hashe any responsibilities, or Is he necessarilya figurehead? The answer to this Is that hehag many responsibilities, and neither Is he afigurehead. Of course, some will say thatsuch and such a house lender Is a figurehead.This may be so, for I don't wish to say thatall house leaders are above reproach, but Inwriting an article of this kind one must takethings In general. If Mr. So and So la abad leader, then the fault lays with the resi-

dent manager, and some day this managermay have a sad awakening, for his leadermay be put to the test only to find himsadly wanting In those good qualities whichare necessary in every leader. As to whetherthe house leader has any responsibilities, thefollowing will show: Bear In mind thatwhile we may have some, had housa leaders,

we also have bad road' Icadcra. It la thelatter the house leader must look out for.

The house leader must remember that themusic of a show must bo played as well underthe direction of a bad leader as well us undera good one. This la where the house leadercomes In. He should see that when the musicIs being rehearsed that his orchestra has agood understanding of what they are to dowith it, for many times tho music la quitecomplicated, and In the hands of a careless

road leader It suffers greatly by Improperrehearsing. Then again the music may be in

such had condition that none but those usedto solving puzzles can make out what It Is all

about.Remember, Mr. Road Leader, that the In-

troduction to a number should bo at the topof tho page and not at tho bottom.When the music Is in bad condition, the

house leader should see that It la rehearsedcarefully and explained In n thorough man-ner, for should the orchestra go wrong dur-ing the performance, he naturally would boblamed. A road leader seldom takes theblame so loag as he has an orchestra to putIt on. Of course, the good road leader hasnone of this, as his music Is generally in

first class condition, and, furthermore, heknows how to lead It.

At tho rehenraal the house leader shouldbe very observing, for should anything hap-pen to the road leader between the rehearsaland the first performance, ho would neces-sarily have to lead tho show. If he shouldfind that the road leader la weak In his lead-ing, he should give him all the help neces-sary. In the best burlesque orchestras thevarious musicians havo their eyes as much onthe house leader as on the road leader, If heshould be deficient in bla leading, for theyare Just as anxious to give as good accountof themselves during the first performance asthe folks on the stage are.A great mistake somo road lenders make

is in not having the cues on tho music.This should not be. for it makes it muchharder for the house leader, should he becompelled to lead the show In the absencoof the show leader. In a great many In-atancea the cues are wrong. The show hasbeen changed somewhat, and tho leader hasnot changed his cues. This shows careless-ness on tils part. The house leader shouldsee that proper deportment la kept in hisorchestra. Newspaper and book reading is

entirely out of order. In orchestras wherethis Is allowed, the road leader la at a dis-advantage, for the musicians arc never readyto play when the signal Is given them.Papers must bo laid down or book-mnrKsmust bo nut in their proper plnce. By thistlrao a lew measures of music have beenmissed, and by the- time tho introduction tothe number is over, the entlro orchestra Is

about ready to play, Remember that the In-troduction to a musical number is Just asImportant as fho number Itself.

Tho bouse lender should sec that his or-chestra treats the traveling leader withproper attention and respect, always bearingIn mind that ho will In return sco that thetraveling leader docs likewise with his or-chestra,House Icadcra should beware of those rond

leaders who use that stereotyped expression,"I never miss a, cue." Seo to It that he•doesn't.

Loud talking In the orchestra pit is outof order. Let the actors do all the tnlklnc.

In conclusion I would suggest to all roadleaders to have their music in tho best con-dition possible, for while you may know yourshow, remember thst the orchestra does notExperience has shown that when the musicwas In good condition, thero was seldom anytrouble In having It played In a proper man-ner. If you received n letter from a friend,written In a bad manner, you would sooncomplain that you couldn't understand biswriting. It is the same thing lr. music. Ifyou expect to have your music played well,sec to It that the manuscript is readable.

NOTES FROM SONGLAW).

JOS. W. STERN St CO.A record somewhat oat of the ordinary In

the Aeld of musical publication Is seen In thocareer of Joseph W. Stern A Co. during thepast year. During this period this firm haspublished and promoted no less than six dis-tinct operatic successes, besides a series ofsongs and European musical sensations thathave been aptly termed the "Wonder of theMusical Age." The former Include the ster-ling successes known as "The Spring Maid,"Werba & Lueschcr's : Charles Frohunu'a"The Siren," Al. Woods' "Modest 8uzanne,"Werba & Lueschcr's "Miss Dudelsack," Fra-ice A Lcderer'a "Clairvoyant," John Cort's"Jnclnta" and Charles Frobman's "DollGirl." Of songs and Instrumental "hits,"one number in Itself speaks a volume of or-dinary publications. This is the famous "Inthe Shadows," arranged both as a song andan Instrumental work. Nearly a hundredthousand copies of this composition were soldwithin a fortnight or so of its date of pub-lication, and no band or orchestra In thecountry considers Its repertoire completewithout this wonderful number.

Both members of the Joseph W. Stern ACo. firm are men of affluence and Influence.Outsldo of their prosperous music house theyare actively engaged In real estate transac-tions, political, charitable and other fields ofactivity : still their love for their prime am-bition of elevating the Industry of musicalpublication obtains and keeps them in har-mony with their fellow men whenever andwherever equity Is extended.

This enterprising Arm promises to be evenmore active than ever during the presentyear, through tho exploiting of at least tennew operas by the world's leading com-posers. Also sensational separate numberslike "Shadows," and among which "Paradeof the Tin Soldiers" ("Parade der Zlnn Sol-dntcn") and "Laughing Love" ("L'AmourQui Hit") are already Known to thousandsand thousands of music lovers abroad and athome.

Before an audience composed of some ofthe best people In New York, and includinga host of musical critics, Victor Hollaenderfully demonstrated his claim to distinctionas a composer of the very first water. Infact, tho success of tho musical setting of"Sumurun" was so distinct and so markedthat Mr. Hollaender was called before thecurtain at least a dozen times, and everycritic sang his praises In their newspaperarticles the following day.As a result two more musical pieces by

Vlotor Hollaender will soon grace the boardsof our New York theatres, and most favor-able offers have been showered upon htmfrom managers who are anxious to procuresome of his masterwork.

Mr. Hollaender !s under exclusive contractto publish all his music for the next fiveyears with the rtrm of Jos. W. Stern A Co.Tnklne time by the forelock, they decidedseveral years ego that Mr. Hollscnder wnsthe exact prototype of what America Is look-ing for In the way of a composer, who can-not only write light operas, but serious musicas well : In fact, all sorts of melodies thatplease alike the raunlcal critic aad the masses.With this In view, Edw. D. Marks, of thefirm, traveled from Paris to Mr. Hollaender'sBummer place In the Tyrolean Alps, end InIscnl, right among the mountains, Mr. Hol-laender affixed his signature to tho contractthat binds him to the house that protectedhis "Swing" song and will safeguard hisfuture American Interests at all hazards.

The Arabs of these troupes have beenqualified and proven to be sober andreliable men. Their lives and timehave been devoted t) the art cftumbling and acrobatic exhibitionsThese amusing sons of the Orienthave been gathered from the bestArabian families of the Berber Tribesin Morocco. There are no theatres orplaces of amusement In their country.They are natural athletes who followthis line of work for pleasure only. Ihave experienced considerable troublein trying to persuade some of the besttumblers to oome over herewith me;in fact I oou'd not make them believethat a man could earn 960.00 perweek for tumbling acta. I wasobliged to prove my statement byadvancing six months' wagos, andsometimes more.

There are several Troupes callingthemselves ARABS now traveling inthis country. Some oi these have beennooesslul in seeming engagements onthe merits oi my troupes. Managers•re 'warned against this deception."

Now the oxsmplo of Walt Whitman Is one

that I cannot too strongly commend to the at-

tention of all those earnest, ongor young men

and women who would give expression to

themselves through the medium of to; drama.

I would Ilka to say of fiction, too, but Mlbelieve In the shoemaker sticking to his last,

and aa I am not a novelist but a dramatist,

I shall leave that to the deration of some-

body elae better qualified for tho task. Andas I am Importuned by somo several thousand

of these ambitious young people In the course

of the year, each of them asking my advice

In relation to some phase of dromatic con-

atructlon, 1 feci Justified, In spite of myscruple* against It, In giving tnem, If not

advice, at least a few suggestions.

To this end 1 will) soy that the spirit of

Whitman must of necessity constitute too

aplrlt of anything worthy, o! anything worth their

while In American drama. I will also go great

further and say that something of tho spirit given

of Whitman haa had its influence In anything

worth while that we have done. WhitmanIt wiu who first sang to us of the length

end breadth of our land, of its glory. In

peace and In war-time; of Its populous

cities Its teeming life, in factory and shop

on ses and ashore, of Its rushing river* andIllimitable plains and ImpregnabTo mountainfastnesses—all the things, in short, some one

or other of which toe essentially Americandramatist must embody in his drama if ha

would have it reflect the spirit of his land aaother dramatists have reflected the spirit

of theirs. _ „. ,

It ll this perhaps more than anything else

that the American dramatist falls to take

cognisance of—tho things that are essen-

tially American—In thought and In feeling,

are becoming "class conscious" as the social-

ists say. But we are nothing of the sort.

Possibly we may do to some day, but It Is a

long way off. America wa* never so demo-urntlc. so splendidly, prodigally democratic,

as It is right this minute In the year of ourliOrd nineteen hundred and twelve. As amatter of fact, It pleases my fancy to believe

that we are almost as democratic In Americato-dny ns was Elizabethan England— too

Mr.Jefferson then managed his own company andwent on a tour through the South, conduct-ing brief seasons in various places. He con-cluded this experience with a stay in Phila-delphia, and a short season in Baltimore.In i860 he made a tour In Europe, and stud-ied the methods of the actors of London andParis.

In the Fall of 1857, at Laura Keene's The-atre, New York, he made a decided impres-sion aa Dr. Pangloss, In "Tho Heir at Law,"and In 1858 he made his first great hit atthat house, as Asa Trenchard, In "Our Amer-ican Cousin," In which E. A. Scthern createdhis famous chnrsoter, Lord Dundreary. Mr.Jefferson acted Asa Trenchard over ono hun-dred and fifty consecutive nights. He thenwent to the Winter Garden Theatre, whichwas under the management of William Btunrtand Dion Bouclcault.

In 1805 he arrived In London, Frig., and

AMATEUR NIGHT AT PARK.Tbe fourth, successful season of Manager

Vincent Padula at the New Park Theatre,Brooklyn, N.

The regularweekly Mil Is mude up of four good vaudevillenets and six early releases of pictures, togetherwith the latest Illustrated songs. The ama-teur nights (Tuesday of evory week) causolurnaways. They are very popular here, andManager Padula makes them as attractivens possible. On the night of Tuesday, Feb.0, there were several amateurs wbo provedthemselves to be entertainers of no meanubIMty.

There was an old man who did a clogdance, and the way the old fellow kicked hisheels about led ono to oelleve that he was nonovice at tbe business.A contortionist "contorted" In a clever

style, and twisted himself into several knotsthat looked as though It would require tbowhole force of stage hands to straighten himout.Then came a little girl with a big voice.

Believe us, she had a "big" voice, and. theway slio used her pipes brought forth tbokind of applause that makes the heart of aperformer feel glad.A youth who was listed as "The boy

with the loose feet." rattled bis pedal ex-tremities to the delight of everyone present.This boy Is some kicker.

There was a schoolroom act that made onethink of the little red school house up In1'odunk, and a newsboy who laid aside his"papes" long enough to go on and do a turn.Thero were other acts, some of which mayhavo suggested the "hook" to captious per-sons In the audience, but when one remem-bers they were amateurs, many "sins" areforgiven,

"I am using them merely for our 'suppose,'"said Beck, hut you'll ngrco that It Is en-

tirely practtc.il, and I will say Hint I purposeto bring to pass, mysolf, tbo real drama ofone act, and the rcil grand opera of one act,

by the finest dramatists and composers In thoworld, and (bat before o.'d earth Is half adozen years older.

VI havo already engaged a stock opera com-pany, for triul performances of one-act operas,which Includes live, prima donnas. My Idea Is

to send out n vaudeville, opera of such worthnnd magnitude that we shall have to havothree or four casts to give It."

Mr. Beck Is a believer, too, In high sal-

aries for actors. 1

He has been a salary paver. When theyasked for unusual compensation he has oftenconfounded them and enraged his opponentsby giving n little moro than they asked. Yetho has a cold-blooded theory of the matterafter all,

"The actor only has ten or fifteen yearsof best worth," says Heck, "and Into his en-deavor, If he Is at all talented, bo brings asmuch intelligence, skill and patience as asuccessful man of business who cams hun-dreds of thotisnnds. Why should ho not re-

ceive money for delivering valuable goods?"

good visit In George's dressing room until It

was time to go from labor to refreshments,talking over old times and timers who havepassed and gone from the glare of the foot-lights, and of the changes that have cornsover the show business since they first metin New York In 1887, when they were eachdoing a musical act. Strange to say, a shortwhile after they both had for a partner JoeFlynn, who later became world famous asthe author of "Down Went McGlnty," andwho Also was one of the first to do a parody

tarn and la still at It, singing bis own com-positions.

Another old timer of the good old varietydays, Burt G. Clark, formerly of Clark andEdwards, a Dutch team of yodlera. Is with"In Old Ketucky," playing the Colonel, andcertally knows how to handle the part. Theshow, which has been on the road for overtwenty years, like "Uncle Tom's Cabin," still

ELMER E. CAMPBELL AND HIS NEW $200,000 REGENT HOTEL.Many of the readers o? this special edition of The Cltppeb win no doubt recognize la the

above cut an excellent likeness of Elmer E. Campbell, the hustling hotel and business man ofFourteenth Btreet, St. Lculs, who Is proprietor of the KrXJENT and LELAND HOTELSof tbat city.

Mr. Campbell has gained fame throughout the theatrical profession by his successful busi-ness methods and knowing how to conduot a theatrical hotel. And from that standpoint ofsuccess he is building a new $200 000 modern, fireproof hotel, as Illustrated above, which willoccupy nearly a half block. Just across the street from his present one. The new hotel willhave 150 rooms, of which 50 will have private bath. All will be outside rooms, and lavishlyfurnished throughout. Hot and cold running water, telephone ond call bells In every room.Electric elevators and all modern conveniences will prevnll, and will be ready for occupancyoa or about April 1, as a theatrical hotel exclusively.

Mr. Campbell has also shown bis wish to moke every detail of the performer's visit toSt. Louis as comfortable as possible by furnishing an elegant clubroom for their use, at greatexpense to him, on the ground floor of his present hotel. Tho clubroom Is very cozy, andhandsomely furnished with a piano, writing desk, dally newspapers, and oil the papers ofthe profession. The dub Is the only one of Its kind In St. Louis, and Is for the benefit of themenibers of the theatrical profession. The Idea Is to give thorn a place to meet and spendtheir idle moments.

A large and nicely furnished cafe and restaurant, \rfth Uu best of service and popularprices, la In connection with the hotel and clubroom, and our readers cannot noBmbiy dabetter than to call on Mr. Can.pbell when In St Louis, who, hi addition to having a firstclass hotel, Is a good-hearted fellow.

SARAH BERNHARDT, IN A SCI5NI5 ESRCMVX "OAMIIvI^B."

Sarah Bernhardt and Madame Rejane,the two great stars of tbe French stage,

whose art has delighted theatregoersIn every country of the world, navefound Immortality In tbe motion pic-

ture, Bernhardt has played "Camllle,"her greatest dramatic success, before

tbe motion picture camera, and Rejanehas produced "Sons-Gene," her greatestcomedy creation. Both artistes ate nowrecorded on the film in tbetr best roles,

and tbe French American Film Com-pany, which controls these great reels.

announces that they will be releasedon Feb. 18. State rights are now onsale, and the Interest In tbe "Camllle"and "Bans-Gene" picture plays Is

£roved by tbe flood of inquiries pour-ig into the offices of the French-

American Film Company, In tbe TimesBuilding. These reels are the sensa-tion of the motion picture world, andwill undoubtedly prove one of thegreatest bos office attractions that tlic

camera has yet produced.Bernhardt was paid $30,000 for her

performance, while Rejane was paidnearly as large a sum.

Bernhardt hesitated a long time be-

fore playing for motion pictures. It

was too one region of the theatre thatshe had never explored, but, afterwatching many picture exhibitions andvisiting motion picture studios, she ac-

cepted too commission with enthusi-asm, and, organizing her powerfuloriginal company for "Camllle, playedthe Dumas classic with all the fire andgenius for which she 1b unique. "Ca-mllle," with its tense, sharply cut situ-

ations and its familiar story, is idealfor the camera, anil the result Is a playof two reels of 2,275 feet, every foot ofwhich la gripping in Interest. Bern-hardt Is the perfect mistress of gesture,

pose and expression, and the picturesmake the story thrilllngly plain.

Rejane followed the example of Bern-hardt, and, calling together tbe mem-bers of the celebrated original company,•he played "Sans-Gene," that sparkling,Intensely dramatic comedy of the Na-poleonic era. Rejane entered Into theplay with the spirit of a school girl.

Among Parisian favorites she Is themost celebrated for the free play of tbebody ns a medium of expression, andthe story unfolds on the reels wltb sharp cm-

Bbasis and unmistakable distinction. "Bans-lene" makes three reels of 3,060 feet.

Both stars were Immensely pleased withthe pictures when they watched them In thestudio, and each expressed a wish to present

more of their masterpieces for the motionpicture camera. "If I could bavo watchedmyself In motion pictures at rehearsals Iwould have been a better actress," remarkedBernhardt, and Rejane declared that to watchthem was a liberal education In stagecraft.

Stato rights of these remarkable reels arenow on sale by the Franco-American Film Com-pany, in the Times Building, and from presentindications it will be only a short time beforetbe rights of every State In the Union havebeen disposed of. Many managers of legiti-

mate playhouses have declared that whilethey would not present the everyday motionpicture, they would gladly put on Bernhardtand Rejane. In all these reels consume twoboars and a half for presentation, and givean entertainment of magical attractiveness.

EARLY HISTORY OF NEGRO MINSTRELSYITS RISE AND PROGRESS IN THE UNITED STATES

»^^^%*****}\ r

BT COL. T. ALL3T0N BROWN.

<Mj#yMtfwy%ftftf^Sfttf*^f* ^ccoEthiopian minstrelsy, with Its accompani-

ments of wit and drollery, became one of

the standard amusements because of thestrong appeal It made to the masses whowere touched by Its simple melodies and its

effusions of genuine wit.

In Its proper place we confess to a tenderadmiration for burnt cork, and we believe

that one of the moral uses of colored min-strels Is to give Increased amusement to thefagged public. We admire the "middle-man."We respect the quiet and simple dignity withwhich he endures tbe jests and ignorance of

those frivolous creatures, the end men."We reverence, too, the vest Intellectual ac-

quirements he displays when applied to for

Information by those witless waifs, and his

unlimited capacity for propounding conun-drums, and correcting tho errors In grammarand pronunciation of "brudder-bones" and"tambo." He la tbe minstrel mentor to abrace of African Telemacbuses, but he la-

bors under the disadvantage that so manygreat minds labor under of being dwarfedBy the circumstances by which he is com-pelled to remain surrounded. He is continuallyletting himself down to the capacities of

the rest of tbe troupe, now making smooth apiece of disjointed syntax, now letting In

Tight upon some scientific misconception,now ploddingly endeavoring to understandthe tangled anecdote that one of his asso-

ciates Is telling, and now the victim of aheartless jest that one of them has per-

petrated, but always tbe same genial, gentle-

manly, unruffled creature, surveying the end-

men—those silly black butterflies at either

terminus of the footlights—with the Bmlltngforbearance which comes of Innate superi-

ority. Probably without a possibility ofdoubt we can safely say that William Ber-nard, of the Ban Francisco MlnBtrels, hadno living equal as an Interlocutor or middle-man.The community owe3 much to those repre-

sentatives of the negro who, by talent and In-

dustry, divested the black face entertainmentof the coarseness and vulgarity that onceihnrncterhted It ; for amusements have an In-

fluence os well as other popular demonstra-tions, and when that influence tends only tothe production of fun and harmony, no sensi-

ble or feeling mind can object to the popu-larity of an entertainment that can certainlydo no harm and which will at times help todrive care from the aching heart, or tend todivert the musical taste In a channel that is

correct, simple and pure.Many people, wonder why minstrel music

las so broad a hold upon the public taste, andwhy the cork opera, with Its threadbaresmartness and everlasting repetitions, so stub-bornly defies the ordinary revolutions of thepublic taste. But tbe explanation Is furnishedon the one side by the talent and ever-spring-ing "animal" wit of such men as Billy Birchand Charley Backus, while, on the otherhand, tbe genius of Tom Moore—dented byartists any lofty place in muslo—Is the un-seen shrine at which, through these touchingminstrel tunes, the millions of our race onboth sides of the Atlantic, who love musicsolely for Its melody, bow down and worship.Nothing could remain heavy, or be stale whenhandled by such men as birch and Backus.The merest commonplace, under their gro-tesque touch became at once Imbued withtheir overflowing fun, and every thought re-ceived a form so ludicrous that it couid notfall to electrify an audience.

It is this singular faculty of diversifyingsameness which we have designated animal«rtt; not because it U grovefilhg and low,but because Instead of depending upon ideaor upon verbal turn, it consists mainly in acertain indescribable magnetism of manner,which Is usually involuntary with the actor,but which surprises and irresistibly capturesthe rlslbles of every looker on. A dull story,which in ordinary hands would send everylistener yawning to his bed, would, when toldby one of those comedians, fairly split thesides of the gravest of his audience. Thosewho look on everything with a serious facewill find in the popularity of negro min-strelsy, among the educated classes, a singu-lar illustration of the close connection thatexists between Puritanism and extreme fri-volity. -Scores of persons who would thinkit wicked to see the highest work of dra-matic art, performed by the finest companyIn the world, will, with the utmost compla-cency, spend a long evening with the min-strels.

When minstrelsy was In its Infancy tbeopening part was always the great featureof the evening's entertainment, the simplevet beautiful ballads touching the greatheart of tbe masses, while the well-toldJokes and conundrums of the end-men leav-ened the whole with a spice of life and joy-ousness which sent the audience to theirhomes In a delightful frame of mind. Inthose days the members of the troupe ap-peared In the first part dressed as humblelaborers or slave hands of the Southernplantations, and afterwards as dandy darkeysor the Northi Many changes have since

taken place. Negro minstrelsy of the pres-ent time is quite a different amusement tothat given in the olden times. If our min-strel managera would give simple, touchingmelodies, more real negro minstrelsy Insteadof so much tomfoolery and lavish scenic dls-

Elay and wardrobe, it would engender a moreealthful tone and prove more attractive

and beneficial in tbe end.When and why should genuine negro min-

strelsy be refined? Was there anythingcoarse and vulgar about the sports and songsof a group of field hands who enjoyed them-selves on the lawn and amused the planterand his friends and family on the veranda?Never I What might be considered vulgarla minstrelsy has been Introduced by per-formers who prefer the boisterous guffaws ofthe gallery to the more subdued ana dignifiedplaudits of the orchestra.

ORIGIN OF IVEGUO MINSTRELSY.For nearly seventy years negro minstrelsy

has been one of our public amusements. Eversince 1843 It has been steadily improving.The plantation darkey who sung about theham-fat and danced the essence, is a thingof the past, and "Old Black Joe" travelingback to Dixie is an absurdity and an anomalyin the present day.Much has been said and written of this

popular branch of amusement—as to whereit had Its origin, who were Its originators,etc. As early as 1790 a Mr. Graupner blackedup and appeared at the old Federal StreetTheatre, Boston, and sang a song of a negro.In character. In the part of the poor Africanslave, in the play of Orlnoko; or, the Slave."This was on the 30th of Dec., of that year.

Lewis Hallam the younger was the origi-nal Mungo In America. Mungo Is a stagenegro, snd Mr. Hallam did it at the JohnStreet Theatre, New York, May 20, 1760.

"Pot-pie" Herbert blackened his face andpublicly sang a song on tbe stage at the Al-bany (N. Y.) Theatre, In 1810. When thecurtain rose the Immense audience were as-tonished to see appear before them, dressedend blacked-up, a man the perfect representa-tion of a full blooded African, when hecommenced singing to an original air the ex-citement was great.Tbe following Is the song. It was called

"SIEGE OF PLATTSBTJRGH."

heard, and the verse was flowing and dis-

closed poetic talent.

George Mchois, the clown, attached manyyears to Purdy Brown's Theatre and Circusof the South and West, was also among thefirst of burnt cork gentry.

Nichols was a man of no education, yet hewas the author of many anecdotes, stories,

verses, etc. He was original. He wouldcompose the versos for bis comic songs withinten minutes of the time of his appearance be-fore the audience. Ills "flights of fancy" and"flashes of wit" wore truly astonishing andhlgbly amusing. Nichols first sang "JimCrow as clown In 1834, afterwards as anegro. He first conceived the idea from aFrench Barkle, a banjo player, known fromNew Orleans to Cincinnati as Picayune Butler—a copper colored gentleman, who gatheredmany a picayune by singing "Picayune But-ler is Going Away," accompanying himselfon his four stringed banjo. An old dnrkeyof New Orleans, known as "Old Corn Meal,"furnished Nichols with many airs, which heturned to account. This old negro sold In-dian meal tor a living ; he might be seen frommorning till night with bis cart and horse;he frequently stopped before Bishop's cele-brated hotel and sang a number of negromelodies. He possessed a fine falsetto andbaritone voice. Corn Meal picked up manybits andjplcs for his singing.A brother to Arch Madden, the down, sang

n°gro songs on. a raised platform at the oldVauxball Garden, In New York, la 1628, onerefrain of his songs reading:

"Come, brudder, let us go off to Haytl,There we be as grand as Gen. Lafayette."

He also sang negro songs at the MilitaryGarden, kept by Gen. Storms, southwest cor-ner of Broadway and Prince Street, NewYork. Bob' Farrell, an actor, sang "ZipCoon," composed by Nichols. Lewis Hyel, ofBrown's Company, sang "Boley Boley," byNichols. Nichols first sang "Clar de Kitchen.''This song he arranged from hearing it sungby the negro firemen on the Mississippi Hirer.The tune of "Zip Coon" was taken from arough jig dance, called "Natchez Under theHill," where tbe boatmen, river pirates, gam-blers and courtesans congregated for the en-joyment of a regular hoc-down, in tbe oldtime. Sam Tatnall, the equestrian, sang"Back Side of Albany." John and FrankWblttaker sang "Coal Black Rose" in 1830.Bill Keller, a low comedian, of Philadelphia,was the original "Coal Black Rose." JohnClements, leader of the orchestra for Duffy& Forrest, composed the music. George Wash-ington Dixon created a furore by singing thissong ; also "Long-tailed Blue," "Lubla Rosa,"ana other plantation songs, at tbe ChathamTheatre, New York, under the managementof Flynn, in 1820, when Sloman commencedsinging buffo songs. Dixon commenced sing-ing buffo at the Albany Theatre in 1830.In July, 1880, he was at the Park Theatre.New York, announced as "The celebratedAmerican buffo singer," and continued to gethis name at the head of tbe bills. The NewYork Uirror of Aug. T, 1840, said

:

"We do not exactly understand on what hefouDds his claim, unless it bo Impudence ; andwe are strongly urged to this conclusion by acomparison between the gentleman and Mr.Plnclde. whose name Is to be found the samenight Dixon appears. In small letters, whileDixon's is In capitals. Dixon swings abouthis limbs with the same vile motion whichMr. Sloman used to rejoice in; but he hasneither Slomao's voice nor humor, and In hisImitations of African character be Is far in-ferior to Blakcly."

Mr. Dixon first appeared In Philadelphia,at the Arch Street Theatre, June 10, 1834,

and sang his prize extravaganza of "ZipCoon," for tbe benefit of Andrew J, Allen.When the cholera, broke out in Phllaciel-

fihra, he published a "Cholera Gazette," glv-ng, day by day, the exact state of the city'shealth. Just at mid-day each day, there as-sembled in front of the Health Office, a crowd,dense enough to breed a cholera, to listen tothe report of the Board of Health, on thecases and deaths of the previous twenty-fourhours. And as true as the bell struck twelve,so true would Dixon come forth, and fromtbe elevated step announce the calamities ofthe time. But the cholera left, and so didDixon.

In May, 1880, he visited Boston, and whathis reception was there wo refer to tho fol-lowing, which we extract from the BostonCourier of that date

:

"This fellow, tho notorious 'buffer singer'and humbug, who has been vagabondingabout the country for many years, Is at lastlikely to obtain a steady home and some-thing useful to do. He has been arrestedfor forgery and lodged in Jail. The stu-pendous amount of tblrty dollars Is what hoIs 'In for.' Ho will be remembered by manyof our citizens as the competitor of Mens.Chabert, In the tire-eating business, and forthe Ignominious manner in which he re-treated from bis dangerous victuals whenthe glowing meal was placed before him.He succeeded no better In his attempt totoko poison for a living. He is tho mostmiserable apology for a vocalist that everbored the public ear, Any bearer of tastewould much prefer a dose of Ipecacuanha tohearing him sing."

In 1830 we find him In New York, pub-lishing a paper called the "Polyanthus,"which dealt in personal abuse; he sufferedsix months' Imprisonment for an allegedlibel on the Rev. Dr. Hawks, rector of St.Thomas' Church.

In 18B2 he was living In New Orleans.He Is said to have been tho causo of tbedeath of Miss Missouri, by publishing a'filthy article against her In bis notorioussheet. Dixon died at the Charity Hospital,New Orleans, March, 1801.

Barney Burns, known from Quebec to NewOrleans as a lob actor, first sang "Long-tallBlue" and "Sfch a Getting Up Stairs," writ-ton and composed by Joo Blackburn.Bu»b was very eccentric and talented,

and originated many of tbe best "gags" still

popular with his successors. He was fa-mous as a clown In tho circus. He wasthe first clown to sing "Jim Crow" in a cir-cus, the song having at that time Just beenpopularized by Daddy Rice. Joe Blackburnwns originally trained for the Roman Cath-olic priesthood, but proved a great favoriteas a circus clown. lie was the first Ameri-can clown to visit England. He died atMemphis.The first to do "Lacy Long" were Dan

Gardner, Rarney Williams and 8. S. Sanford.The first black "clown" was William Don-

aldson; ho had been a minstrel performer.He first appeared In the circus ring In Phila-delphia.

In 1835 a miscellaneous entertainmentwas given at tho Patriot House, In ChathamSquare, New York. Dan Gardner was tbewench-dancer, and William Whltlock madehis first appearanco on tho stage here in thenegro sketch of "Ob, Hush."A young man by the name of Lester first

composed and sang a song called "Sitting ona Kail;" also another no called "GumboChaff." This was about the year 183(1.In 183S P, T. Baraum traveled withAaron Tumor's Circus, and In consequence ofsomo of the negro performers of tbe com-§any having left at Camden, 8. C„ Barnumlacked himself thoroughly and sang tha

songs, "Zip Coon," "Glttlnr Up Stairs" and"Tito Raccoon Hunt ; or, Sitting on a Ball."T. D. Itlce accumulated qulto a fortune bysinging tho song of "Jim Crow" and "LongToll Blue."

In 1887 an entcrtanment consisting ofequestrianism and minstrelsy was given atthe Lion Theatre, Boston, commencing onFeb. 22. A burlesque Ethiopian opera wasgiven. "Oh, Hush,'' was performed with B.Harper (tho original representative) asGumbo Cuff, alias Jim Brown. Hall ap-peared as Sambo Johnson, Reeve as PeatWilliams, Rugsles as Clem Green, Churchillas Col.

14 THE ISTEW YOEK CLIPPER. February 17

Tee th, BheathSOME CORK AND SAWDUST

"THINKS" OF THE PAST.

BY KIT CLAUKE.

An Article recently printed In The Clip-Mb, written by Edward Le Roy Rice, revlvodpleasant memories of my minstrel days anil

nights, and started my thinking machine Intoactivity, resuscitating many delightful In-

cidents and associations of the vanished"good old days of yore."

In my opinion the ancient and honorablepastime of negro minstrelsy met Its severestblow—I might almost say crushing blow

—

when the late 3. H. Haverly placed on themarket his Mastodon Minstrels, and thla notalone from a business point of view, butartistically as well.From the instant the curtain rose upon

this organization, the bell tolled the requiemfor our old time favorite, and the charac-teristics of the plantation negro, the qualatantics of the river roustabout, and the uniquegenius of the darkey swell, went glimmering''down the corridors of time."

In place of these time honored, popularand enjoyable features, there came Into thespotlight "Forty, Count 'em, Forty," em-bracing ilxty or seventy people, exhibiting"mammoth" songs and dances, huge squadsof electrically lighted acrobats In gaily ca-

parisoned drills and marches, sumptuoussilken draperies, gorgeous transformationscenes and dally parades, that rivaled anOriental Durbar In clamor and display.

If "Old Bill Jones" had been on earth at

ttfjfUe

that time he would have reared up on his

hind feet and openly declared that anybodywho could possibly discover even a remoteresemblanco to negro mlnBtrelsy In this en-

tire production vras a cowboy, a horso thief,

and a twa-story ding-bat liar, by gosh 1

And -wlille the black face, spectacular In-

vasion, mixed occasionally with a email as-

sortment of white face, was sot negro min-strelsy by Borne sixty thousand miles, It ap-peared to be exactly what the public wantedand was willing to pay for, and tbls public

got It and a lot more of It In copious doses.

When other energetic and amoltlous man-tigers heard the noise and observed the con-sequent amazing financial results, theypromptly adopted the advanced spectacularproposition, and zoological dictionaries weresearched with microscopes In digging up longand hard names to bestow upon new and bigbunches of burnt cork crusaders.Among them came tbe "Megatherium" Min-

strels, which "Dick" Hooley and "Billy" Em-erson pushed out, and which sunk money Inmassive lumps, and the "Glgontean" Min-strels, which M. B. Loavltt organized, andwhen he became tired of the adventure, tbewrong sldo of tbe lodger exhibited a loss ofsomething close to one hundred thousand coldAmerican dollars.

In three or four years these exaggeratedminstrels petered out, and old time negrominstrelsy went with them—completelyerased from the public mind, never again toattain Its former welcome and general popu-larity.Two hundred dollars dally was a rather

heavy expense for an old time minstrel com-pany to nsBumc, and It Is only requisite tocompare this figure with the dally expensesof tlie spectacular shows to discover another"severe blow" to the old art far more effective

than Its desertion by a few performers forwhite face drama.

In January, 1865, I leased Bryan Hall, onClark Street, Chicago, for a season of twclvoweeks, and organised and played a companyof twenty-two people under the name of theEmpire Minstrels, with a salary list of muchless than live hundred dollars weekly.There was nothing spectacular about thli

show or Its expenses, out just a plain, old tlmnnegro minstrel company, with the "coon"element predominating, yet In the twelveweeks I cleared several thousand dollars,

closing only because I was under contractto go In advance of Adam Forepnugh's Show,How long n period would a similar com-

pany exist In New York nt present, and in

this era of circus minstrelsy?Yet with this company there appeared,

for stated periods, Eph Horn, Sher. Camp-bell, 8am Sharpley, Ben Cotton, Billy Man-ning, Johnny Allen and Unsworth and Eu-Sene, and It was here that Billy Emerson,ohnny Allen and Billy Manning organized

and started Emerson, Allen and Manning'sMinstrels, one of tbe most popular organiza-tions of Its kind ever placed before tbe public.

This was. Indeed, a splendid minstrel com-?auy, and met with great prosperity, andhis very great prosperity caused its final

dissolution, which began In Internal dissen-sions between the owners and ended In fisti-

cuffs and separation.This "agreement to disagree," however,

was not phenomenal, since it really appearsas If the minstrel boys of ability, from thatday to this, were all equally well developedIn the art of "slugging," and so minstrelcompany was ever organized. In which per-formers were owners, that failed, sooner orlater, to develop prolific Internal dissensionsthat often resulted la first class fights, andfinally In separation.From the Mastodons there graduated Bar-

low, Wilson, Primrose & West's Minstrels,which, because of disagreements, caused sep-arations and reorganizations until no lessthan six different companies followed in quicksuccession, and all met with considerablesuccess until family fights "busted" them.For such results there were, of course, manyreasons, but I think the principal cause wasan overdose of sudden, brain-affecting pros-perity—something that few men, even ordi-nary men In other walks of life, find It diffi-

cult to assimilate with equanimity.Because a number of talented black face

comedians left minstrelsy to gain additionalfame and dollars in drama, most assuredlyredounded to tbe credit of the old art, sinceIt conclusively proved that the actors on theminstrel stage were men of no ordinaryability.

I have always thought there was a widedifference between the negro mlnBtrel, thedelineator of the quaint negro character, andthe black face comedian, exempllfier of"every old thing" to win a big laugh or "kill'em dead," and nearly all of the corkonlanaof the past, present and probable future, comeunder the latter definition.

Some of these, too. are really fine perform-ers, talented, artistic, humorous and mostoriginal, while the fact still remains thatthe coat of cork often leads to (treat suc-cess when the Identical exhibit done In whiteface would probably be pushed down Intothe cellar.

Much publicity has been given to the namesof many who moved from minstrelsy Intothe dramatic firmament, yet there Is ononame I have sever seen printed in this con-nection—the name of one of our most Illus-

trious actors; Indeed, I believe he was tbemost versatile and accomplished actor theAmerican stage has ever known, a man whocould act Sir Giles to-slght, Hamlet to-mor-row, Richelieu the next, and follow thesewith a black face song and dance or an "es-sence" that had but a single rival—Cool Bur-gess. I refer to E. L-. Davenport, whosememory, among many old departed friends,is tbe best of all to me.

It would appear that anybody who covershis face with cork at ence becomes a negrominstrel, but I cannot see It that away, sincefew, If any, ever pretend to imitate thecolored race. Even Sweatnam, one of themost original and talented black face artiststhat ever lived. Is not a negro minstrel, andThatcher, Dockstader, George Wilson orGeorge Evans, with scores of others, callingthemselves such, are simply eccentric co-medians.

Billy Emerson's strongest effort was a rol-licking Irish song, "Moiiartty," and CarrollJohnson made an Immense hit with Ken-nedy's Irish Song. "I Owe Ten Dollars toO'Grady," while Sweatnam's end song andgreatest hit was celestial to the last degree,"Little Ah Sid"—a gem of the very firstwater, but quite some distance from anythingof a negro character.An exhibit of Irish, Hebrew, Italian, Chi-

nese and other foreign characters. In blackface make-up, has helped some In puttingnegro minstrelsy Into Its little bed, and evenIn "vodvlll" the true negro Is mighty scarce.Where, oh where, can we find the proto-

type of Billy Manning In his Inimitable"Mrs. DlttmuB' Party?" Where will we find

another "Boy, Go 'Way from Dat Dar Miicl,"

of McAndrcws?I think that more substantial talent was

embraced In the Leavltt show than in anysimilar company ever organized, which, enpassant, embraced several of the talentedpeople named by Mr. Rice In his Cliffebarticle. Among these was three famousauartottcs—the musical group of Woods,leasley and tho Weston Brothers, the great

acrobatic song and dance team of Seaman,Somers and the Glrard Brothers, known as"The Grotesque Four," doubtless the strong-est act of Its kind ever seen upon tho stage,and that constellation of true negro min-strel talent, called "The Old-time Quartette,"who gave, an exact reproduction of the "Vir-ginia Screnaders," the original of all minstrelpresentations.

In this act appeared one of the veritablefounders of mlnBtrelsy. Dan Emmet, whoorganized and rehearsed tho act, which, be-sides himself, Included Bam Sauford, DavoReed and Archie Hughes, and as 1 watchedthis act night after night for I was themanager of the company, Its unique quality,Its absolute) originality, its artistic versa-tility and Its general excellence Impressed mogreatly, and I thought then, and still believe,

that its associations and superb productionmade It by far the most Interesting act theminstrel stage has ever seen, or ever will sec.

Yet fine as was this act It never "caughton" with the public, for even then "old time''

minstrelsy had gone glimmering. Only upona single occasion did the act win large ap-plause, and this occurred In Atlanta, Ga„while even then the npplause went out forDan Emmet. The house was crowded, nndas the curtain rose upon the Virginia Scre-

naders an enthusiast In the balcony shoutedIn a great big voice: "Three cheers for theauthor of Dixie!" "

Although It happened many yeare ago, 1

This Idea was promptly accepted, but wasnever completed for the Interesting reasonthat a few days later Mr. Leavltt visited theShaw and "Orcd" me unceremoniously withthe emphatic assertion that I was not wortha "continental ,"

This little pas dt seiil forever terminatedmy association wltb that energetic gentle-man, my position being assumed by J. B.Burrldgc, and I salted for New York.Hardly had I landed In the metropolis

when a messenger brought me a letter say-ing that J. II. Haverly desired to have mecall upon him at the Fifth Avenue Theatre,

- to which I gave no attention. The followingmorning "Bob" Fllklns came to me and said"the governor" wanted me to come right up

and see him on a matter of large Importancebut I told "Bob," who was a prince amonggood fellows, that "the governor" had me-chanics at his service who could put In plaintypewriting what intelligence he desired toconvey.My reason for this was that but recently I

had "bucked" the Haverly show, and had"lambasted" It as hard aB I knew how. andI did not care to have a "gabfeat" wltb an-other minstrel king 10 quickly after theLeavltt matinee.The following morning a carriage landed at

my door and Mr, Haverly was before me andoffered me an exceedingly liberal businessproposition, after which he asked why I hadleft Mr. Leavltt I replied that Mr, Leavltthad "fired" me la cold blood, and said to meright out loud that I was not worth a "con-tinental -< ."

"That's a mighty good reason," said Mr.Haverly, and on the following afternoon, atHarrlstmrg, Pa., I became manager ofHaverly's Mastodon Minstrels, supersedingJoe Mack.

Ncaro minstrelsy has been forgotten, Is notunderstood, while black face comedians, anda vast number who think themselves such,have flooded '"vodvllle" with alleged actsand wild-eyed eccentricities to such ah ex-tent that Interest In cork has been pretty

and bongs, and loaded with sarcastic "Jabs'*

at politics and politicians. I sent the manu-script to Charley Backus, who read it, sub-mitted It to Birch, Wambold and Bernard,and then returned it to me with but a singleword of comment— Tank."

"Ncin, Mein Herr."I mailed It to my friend. Pony Moore, In

London, who, by return mall, thanked merery much and assured me he would give It

consideration. About fifteen years later, whilePony and myself were enjoying a pleasanthour st Gaul's, I happened to remark : "Bay,Pony, do you remember that fine burlesque I

tent you, and which you said you would con-•Iderr

"Of course I do, and rery well Indeed,"be replied.

"Well, what became of ltr"I'm considering It yet."The wall of my library holds a large and

handsome crayon portrait of myself, madewhen I was a "corking" good looking youngfellow, and every time I see it I am re-

minded of an incident which occurred In St.

Louis. On the day the Mastodons opened atthe Olympic theatre, photographs of thecompany fn a group and myself alone weremade by Fox, a well known photographer ofthat city.

Seven months later, when we again ap-peared In St. Louis, I was lelsur'Iy strolling

along Fourth Street when my eye caughtsight of a greatly enlarged crayon portraitof myself In the window of Fox. It was su-

perb!/ made, and I stepped Inside and In-

quired the price. A beautiful little girl, someten or twelve years of age, said she thoughtIt wns not for sale, as her papa had takengroat cnio In making it, but sue would In-

?ulre, and went upstairs for this purpose.seized the advantage of ths moment, lifted

the picture from tli; window and carried it

outside. Just as I stepped Into the placethe child came down stairs and sa'd em-phatically that It was not for asle at anyprice. I bid her good-bye, had the picturecnrefully boxed and shipped to roy home.That ]:lght Mr. Fox came to tbn theatre In

a towering rage, accused me of stealing thepicture, threatening everything he could de-

vise from a "punch In the Jaw" to Imprison-ment for life.

In all my experience I have never seen aman so thoroughly angry, to ferociouslythreatening, and yet, la half an hour thematter was amicably settled by paying himfifty dollars, while the beautlul 'Ittle girl

mentioned Is now known as Delia Fox.About the best "send off" that ever deco-

rated my manly form emanated from this

same good old St. Louis, and occurred whileI was manager of Haverly's Mastodon Min-strels. A coterie of friends were assembledIn the smoking room of the Planters Hotelwhen a letter was brought to me, and atonce recognizing the writing of the address,and oblivious to my surroundings, I kissedthe envelope. Just then a dozen hoots andguffaws broke out, and Charley 8pauldlncsaid:"Now, look here. Kit, thst won't do. Too

spooney for anything. Confess now, yourwife didn't write that letter?"

"No, she didn't," I replied. "It't from mybest girl."

We all sat down and chatted a bit whenTat Short said : "It's no use, Kit, you've gotto read that letter to us. We want to knowall about her." _:.

"So yon shall," I answered. "There It is,"

and I gave the precious missive to Spauldingto read.

"I guess not," «ald Spaulding. "We like

to chaff a little, but I hope we are gentle-

men. The young lady would hardly care tohave her letter read by this crowd."

"But I Insist upon It." I declared. "There'snothing to be ashamed of, barring the spell-

ing, that is a trifle ahaky, I admit Bead itCharley."Thus urged, Spaulding opened the letter

and read It. There wore only a few words.First he laughed, then swallowed suspiciously,

and as he finished, threw it upon the table

and rubbed the back of his hand across his

eyes as If troubled with dimness of vision.

"Pshaw 1" he exclaimed, "if I had a love

letter like that—" and then he waa B'lent.

Wc ploy," cried one of tho party.

•TH read- It to you, boys," snld Spauld-ing. "and I tuiuk you 11 agree with me thatIt is a model love letter."

Ani this Is whi; he read:"Ml OiVRN deer Ta-Pa—I say ml pralrt

every nlto and WEN 1 kiss ynre pikshure 1

ask god to bless you. good bl Pa-Pa yourebest girl, Elma." _"Among those preeent" was Tom Garrett,

dramatic critic of The Republican, who deco-

rated this Incident with laces, frills andJewels of language until it filled a column,and it promptly went tho rounds of theAmerican press, headed "Kit Clark's BestGirl," while Instantaneous and universal

fame became mice.

It was an affecting Incident, to be sure,but was marred by a trifling error because atthat time I had no daughter named Elma;In fact, had do daughter of any name, wasnot married, and of course received no suchletter, while Spaulding and Short were not Inthe party, and. as a climax, no such partyhad ever assembled. Garrett had Inventedthe entire outfit, but It waa a fine legend,anyway, went on Its Journey Just the same,and I saw It In scores of newspapers.The entire existence of the circus agent in

those days might be correctly described In asingle word, hustle, and don't stop for aminute, and If any competition shows up goat It with big guns. Yellow quarter-sheets invaat quantities flooded the land, and thegrade and quantity of general and personalabuse those contained were Invariably redhot and always slatting.

I still preserve two examples of such thatare, perhaps, the moat disreputable specimensof printed and openly circulated personalvilllflcation, scandalous abuse and shamefuladjectives that have ever been distributed,and they were written by W. W. Durand andAndrew Halght, both past masters of theart. In an effort to "down" our show. I wentafter these gentlemen, and when I gotthrough, they and their ahow were wrecked,and the two were in Jail at Rock Island, 111.,

where, after allowing them a few days tocool off, they were released and advised to"go and sin no more."But the admonition was a failure, for not

long afterwards they, with George W. DeHaven, organized a "fly-by-night" affair,called the "Great Eastern," etc., etc., a veryInferior little show with a huge and im-pressive title, and meeting the ForepaughShow, In Indiana, they again began a cam-paign of dirty yellow literature.

Once more Instructions came to me tochaso them and never let up. I did so, andfollowed them for weeks until they wereswamped at Ogdensburg, N. Y., and skippedInto Canada, where they were executionproof. And yet, tho crowd, outside of themvillainous methods, were a mlghtv fine lotof men. but thev cnt out an Immense amountof hard work tor the opposition agent, andJust made him "bump" every minute, dayt'nd nlsht.

I was agent for the Forepaugh Show untilthe Autumn of 1870, when I made a verbalagreement with W. C. Coup to go in advanceof the newly organized Barnum Show on ItsInaugural tour In 1871. In November of thatyear, at the printing office of (Marry ARellly, No. 10 Spruce Street, New York, Imet John O'Brien, a circus owner from Phila-delphia, and during a quiet conversation Imade an Insignificant remark that reflectedupon the illiteracy of Mr. Forepaugh. O'Brienreturned to Philadelphia, met Forepaugh,magnified my remarks to such an extent thatAdam sat down and wrote me a letter, which,for villainous abuse, I have never seenequaled.

I still preserve this wonderful literary ef-fort, and rofer to It occasionally when I re-?ulre a stimulant, since a reading does mear more good than half a dozen hot "sodas."Eliminating a splendid array of cuss words

and vile phrases, tho letter reads somethinglike this: "You confounded, low-lived, rotten,lying cur, I hear you are going 'round NewYork talking scandalous about me. Now,you dirty, lying whelp, If I over bearof such a thing again, you petty loafer,I will come over there and club the dirty lifeout of you. (Signed) Adam Forepaugh.

"P. S.—If you want a situation I w'll giveyou $125 a week and your expenses tho yearround."This offer was accepted by telegraph, as it

was more salary than I had ever been paidbefore, and I remained with Adam Forepaughseven years longer.

In 1884 Haverly's Mastodon Mlnatrols re-turned from England to the happy land ofKlaw and Shubcrt, and aboard the ship, be-tween stacks of chips, nausea and deck-chairs, I maintained a series of continuousthinking matinees, and after much mentalargument reached the decision that it wasabout time, after twenty-live years of ma-rauding, to bring my criminal career to anharmonious conclusion. This determinationinduced me to select a nice girl and morryher, and then settle down In the peacefulJanes of commerce.To give up the active and nervous career

of the wandering showman for tho enter.,grinding derails of a commercial career wasa more difficult task than I had eoncpived,but I always had a mania for "sticking,"end eventually became acquainted with"time" and "terms," Bradstrct and I>un,end above all, Hie certain reward of care-fully ncgotinted discounts, short marginsend speedy return*

Since then I have been happily InterestedIn the career of an assortment of "kids,"ajid once In- a While lay bock In my easychair and ruminate over the paat and In-variably conclude that If I could again livethrough the former years I would certainlychoose the same career. They were goodyears to me, filled with happiness, romunce,pleasure, friends, good health and hardwork, and tbxso ore the greatest blessingsthat can came to a human being.

BASEBALL ITEMS.GOSSIP FROM HERB, THERE AND

EVERYWHERE.

BY W. M. RANKIN.

White we Nwtherners have been tankingsad shivering from cold, wintry blasts, whichhave covered the fields and hilltops with a

mantle of mow, the Highlanders sent a scoot

South to Bee If Spring nad put the new-bornbuds upon the trees yet, the first sign that

another baseball season is near at hand. Dur-ing his sojourn in that balmy region, Sir

Arthur completed all arrangements for thepreliminary stunts of the Highlanders, whowill make Atlanta Ga., their camping groundwhile on their Southern training trip. Tbe"budB" on the McGraw tree will get a chanceto bloom at Marlin, Tex., during this month,and they will clIt be the advance guard ofthe small army of ball players trom Northernteams who will invade the Sonth during Feb-ruary and March, to have the coat of Winterrust removed from them. This is one of thenew-fangled turns the march of Improvementhas done for our great national game. In "yeolde tyme" tbe ball players were supposed to

be able to "deliver the goods" when tbe man-agers "rang up the curtain" on each newseason. In those days masks, gloves, chest-protector^, shin guards, and other such arti-

ficial means, were an unknown Quantity tothe ball player*, who seemed to have sprungfrom a hardier and more rugged stock thandoes the present generation of athletes. Butthen every season brings out new ideas, forwisdom Is Infused in every form. This givesthe novice the impression thut the game is

so much faster in his time than It was Intimes gone by, but as there Is no way of com-puting this, the weight of the arguments areusualy decided by the sympathies of the peo-ple when made.

"A local afternoon paper recently made thisastonishing announcement : " Ty' Cobb, ofthe Tigers, is the world's greatest all-aroundbaseball player." While we will admit thatCobb Is a superlative batsman, a superlativebase runner and a euperlatlve outfielder,that doesn't entitle him to be classed as anall-around player by any manner of means.He will have to show the same ability as acatcher, a pitcher and a general Infielderbefore he can break Into the class of all-around players. The same paper said : "Theymay tell of their Busies and Ansons andSpaldlngs, but did they have a Ty' Cobb anda Baker?" Yes. In George Wright andCharles J. 8mlth. George Wright was "Ty"Cobb's superior as an all-around player, asthe term signifies, while Charley Smith wasBaker's superior from any viewpoint Theold Atlantlcs of Brooklyn had a "Ty" CobbIn Freddy Crane, who was conceded by allcritics of the day to be the most gracefulplayer and surest catch of a fly ball of anyoutfielder of his time. He was also a greatbatsman and base runner. Before Jack Chap-man settled down into left field as a regularposition he was one of the game's greatestall-around players. We have records to showthat he has at one time or another filled eachof the nine positions, and did so with creditto himself. Bob Ferguson was another re-markable, clever all-around player. Andthere wero others.The Brooklyn Ball Clnb has announced,

with a great display of enthusiasm, that It is

going to have one of the up-to-date twen-tieth century boll parks, which are becomingso noted over the major league circuits. TheBrooklyn Club's new home will be situatedjust East o< Prospect Park, on the picturesqueplains of Northern Flalbush, within a fewblocks of the trolley zone, and Is now partlysurrounded by squatter bungalows. But Inthis age of progress even Crow Hilt's barrenand unproductive area may be turned to somepractical use. We thought Eastern Park wasabout tbe most undesirable piece of propertythat could have been "discovered" for base-ball plnylng purposes, but, at that, we can-not see where the new ground baa the leastpossible ndvantage over Eastern Park from anyangle. Its location looks about as promisingas did the old Cap'.tolino Ground, when firstopened to the public In May, 1804. It waslocated three miles from Fnlton Ferry, withonly one line of horse cars that came to aboutflvo blocks from Its entrance. It will alsolook about as convenient to New Yorkers, orthe Eastern District people, as did the oldUnion Ground, which was noted for being (homost inconvenient place one was compelledto visit to witness a game of ball. TheBrooklyn Club went to Eastern Park with itseyes wide open, and, after wending its wayMindly through the mystic mazes for nearlyseven years, gave up the struggle, and wasonly too glad to get back into civilizationagain. Still there is no telling what theBrooklyn people may do even under the mosttrying condition, and the time may comewhen even so uninviting a spot may see the"light of day/' In which case, "Mammon winsLis way where angels might have despaired "

Had Mr. Ebbets entertained his gueBts onbis new property they would hardly haveshown bo much enthusiasm over It as wasthe case. Unless, of course. It went to theirheads and made them Irresponsible. It willtake considerable time and a great deal ofmoney to put the ground In anything likefair shape before the actual work begins forlaying out a ball field, building Blonds, erect-ing fences, etc. At present the properly hasa very sharp grade, being much higher at theNorthern boundary line than it is at theSouthern end. There arc a number of squat-

tcr bungalows scattered over the site, and a

miniature canyon runs through the centre of

it, which will have to be filled In before muchprogress Is made. No doubt this can be

done with the earth taken from the Northern

end, and the whole field will require an im-

mense amount of grading before It will be as

"level as a billiard table." as it 1« said it will

be. Three of the streets greatly resemble

country roads through ex-corn fields In the

Winter season, but time and civilization will

probably Improve them.

The three local teams look stronger onpaper if they will appear on the field for

their '1012 engagements as already announced,than they did at this time last year. TheNew York Nationals will stand pat, at least,

that Is the supposition at this stage of the

proceedings. Their strength lies chiefly In

their experience, aud that should count well

In their favor. Mathewson. Mirquard andCrawdaill will, no doubt, do the bulk of thepitching again this year, with Wilts*. Amesand Drucke always on deck for any emer-gency. Axy one of the last named three maybecome a regular, but Mathewson and Mar-quard should do tbe bulk of the pitching to

get the best work out of them. Besides thesemen, McGraw has several promising young-sters, who can be sandwiched In between thevets when needed.

Tbe New York; Highlanders look to bestronger, because they have a man at thehelm who should be able to get out of tbe menthe best that Is In them. There Is materialenough In hand to get a good line up whentbe men take the field. Ford, who' is reportedto be in the best of shape this Winter, willagain be the chief pitcher on Waiverton'sstaff of twirlers. Just who the manager willselect as running mates for Ford have notas yet been announced. He will probablywait until the men report at Atlanta, and hehas had a chance to see what they can do be-fore he decides that matter.

It is In the Brooklyn team that the mostnotable change will be seea. On paper Itlooks to be the best team Brooklyn has badsince Its pennant winning days. The InfieldIs purely guesswork, although It may be de-veloped Into a cracker jack at that The out-field promises to be one of the best In theold league. Wheat, Northern and Hummellook far better than any previous outfieldBrooklyn has bad In some time. It was awise move, the shifting of "Silent" John tothe outer works. He should give a far bet-ter account of himself this year In right fieldthan be did In the Infield. The bulk of thepitching will, no doubt, fall to the lot ofRucker and Barger, both of whom are re-ported to be In better shape this Winterthan they were at the beginning of last sea-son. Last year Bucker was handicapped atthe start of the campaign by an Injury to oneof his legs, and Barger was unfortunateenough to Injure himself at the Atart, andwas In poor health pretty nearly all season.Other men on Dahlen's pitching staff areKnetzer, Steele, Stack and Allen, and somepromising youngsters.

Nearly all the holdovers from- last year'sthree local clubs have been re-engaged fortbe coming season. Besides these there are anumber of "come-ons," who will get try-outsfor understudies, at least, to the veterans,if they do not become "stars" In the differentroles assigned them. There should be busytimes at the training camps this Spring.

Secretary O'Brien, of the New York Club,says: 'No cluh that carries a large pitchingstaff and tries to work all Its filngers In any-thing like regular order can win a pennant.I think you'll find that the records will bearme out when I claim that two, or at mostthree, pitchers have done most of the hurlingfor almost every club that ever won a cham-pionship or made a strong bid for one." Wehave held similar views for years and hnve835?"? tDCm n Bood many times. Mr.O Brien has come to stay. He waa out of hiselement with the minors.

and at m aArly am lie became connected witha menagerie, .. Bu first appearance la NewYork In .these eerfsrmaneea which have ren-

dered hint ss celebrated, occurred at tho Rich-

mond- Hin Theatre, la the Fall of 1833. Thasame season h* appeared, after the holidays,

at the Bowery Theatre, then under the man-agement of T. 8. Humbling, In a melodrama,written for kin by Wtea Median,- entitled"The Uoi Lord ; or. The Forest Monarch."In this piece he rode a horse up a aet of-Mateppa roao, and when near toe fllea aRoyal Bengal tiger would spring upon him,when the actor and the tiger would struggledown to the footlights together, apparentlyengaged la desperate combat, an Incidentn-hlch was Invariably received with tumultu-ous enthusiasts.

The Zoological Institute, at 37 Bowery,opened la November, 1834, with a collection

of animals, am* Van Amtrargh as the princi-pal attraction Mr. Tan Amburgh performedat this establishment every winter until

1838. Introdaclag each season, at Intervals,as a sensation, a child and lamb In the dens.He played a farewell engagement at tho OldNational Theatre, and at the principal the-atres on tha continent. While In Europe•everal dramas were written for Mr. VanAmburgh, and successfully produced. He alsotraveled through the provincial towns, makingseveral tours of Onglanil, Ireland, Scotlandand Wales with his traveling menagerie, andthe prestige of his name drew an overwhelm-Ingtng throng of people wherever he went.The name of Tan Amburgh Is well known Inevery little hamlet la Great Britain as it IsId the United States. He was the first oneto introduce tha American style of tenting InEurope, end tha celerity with which h'a es-tablishment moved through the country wasas great a source of wonder to John Bull asany feature of tha exhibition.

Mr. Van Atsbargh returned to the UnitedStates in 1845, where he has since remained,except during several brief visits to Europe.He has not performed for several years,' butaccompanied his menagerie In its annualtours through the country. He was a whole-souled, genial old gentleman, and had hostsof friends la every part of the Union,' andboth himself aid his menagerie always re-ceived a hearty welcome wherever they ap;peared. Van Araoargh. In the course of hiscareer, had many severe contests with -theanimals, la Mate of which he was much bit-ten and torn, but be always came off thevictor. On one occasion his right wrist wasliterally chewed and mangled by a Hon. Henever fully recovered from the effect* of thisInjury.

. There are many good stories ofVan Amburgh's contests with the animals,but they are mostly destitute of foundation,or nearly so. 'The encounters were' in someInstances desperate, bat they were muchalike ; they consisted of sudden attacks whichVan Amburgh was usually able to punish atonce, though sometimes, as has been ex-plained, the beasts left .their mama upon him.The tendency of the various encounters was,of course, such as to Injure Van Amburgh'shealth.'

Eight or nine . ars ago Van Amburgh wasobliged to cease his performances,' but healways accompanied the menagerie rn Itstravels when be was able to do so. Sometime ago he resigned tho active managementof the concern, and it has since been underthe direction of Hyatt Frost. The businessof the concern will probably be carried on bythe surviving partners under the name It hashitherto borne. Mr. Van Amburgh possessedgreat physical strength and fearless courage.He bad- a commanding presence; his move-ments were graceful ; he was Arm, and underall circumstances self-possessed. In bis In-tercourse with his acquaintances—he wasnever married—he was exceedingly kind, andeven gentle, and his geniality was one of themost prominent of his qualities,

The death of Mr. Van Amburgh has sev-eral times been announced . during the pastfew years. These stories were like most ofhis adventures. His decease at this timewas unexpeted, as be was in the city abouttwo weeks ago, and at that time enjoyed ssgood health as usual. A day or two ago thePhiladelphia Journals reported that he wasperfectly well. The remains were taken toFlsbklll for Interment.-Circus at New Orleans.—The cirrus appears

to be wefl liked by tho patrons of amusementat New Orleans. A correspondent In writingen Nov. 27, says: "A business trip bringsme to the 'Orescent City.'

following card, to correct what are said tobe errors or misrepresentations on the partof a New Orleans correspondent. We are al-

sult was attributable to the Southern preju-dice against Union managers and against thetitle of our circus (the United States Circus).Although we were well known as Arm 1,'nlon

men from the commencement of the late un-happy war, and although the most conspicu-ous lino on every one ot our bills and adver-tisements was "The United States Circus,"we have experienced only the most markedcourtesies from the 'Southern peoplo In ourSouthern tour. Tho more prominent. Intelli-

gent and Influential the Southern gentlemanwith whom we come in official or social con-;

tact in our extended trip through Tennessee,Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana, during themonths of October, November and December,the more unreservedly did they appear bo ac-cept the "situation," snd the more impressedwere we with their good faith. The IsolatedInstance or two of a drunken vagabond, tothe contrary, only proves the rule.

The following are tho facts : In pursuancoof a contract to play nn engagement in theAcademy of Music, New Orleans, in Decem-ber, wo shipped our company In and by rail-

road, playing at the principal cities on theroute. In pursuance of our arrangement<i, wewere advertised to play at Macon on Nov. 0,

7, 8, where S. B. Howe's European Circus wasannounced to exhibit on the same day. Wearrived there and exhibited accordingly, tak-ing $2,800 on the first-named day, and charg-ing regular Southern prices of si for whitesand 75 cents for negroes. Howe's Circus d'.d

not arrive in time to exhibit the first night.The second day (Nov. 7) it arrived, and re-

duced prices to 50 cents, with a covert allu-sion to 25 cents extra for reserved seats. Aswe did not reduce prices and our exhibitionhiavlng been seen by most (if the citizens thefirst da7, naturally tho rush was for thofresher nnd cheaper show, especially as theymade .v.. imposing street procession.

Neither our politics nor our United Slatesflag had anything to do with it, as was dem-onstrated In the next city. As, however, wetook about as much money the first dar asMr. Howe's in the two, and being young andinexperienced showmen, wc were glad to learna valuable lesson of reducing prices In anextremity, from our veteran competitor, atso cheap a rate. At Columbus wo were an-nounced to exhibit on' Dec; 9, 10. 11—Howe'sEuropean Circus only on Dec. 10, 11, with aview to the' repetition of tbe dodge of ar-riving fresh and reducing prices ($1 and 7.1c);and upontthe arrival of the European Circuswe redacea prices to the scale they did. Theconsequence was we rewlved (wc think) most

and departed on Dec. 17, for Shreveport,and the principal towns on Red, Ouohlta andMississippi rivers. The Stlckney Family,Tom King and wife, Kelly, Burroughs, Camp-beH, Saunders, John Robinson, etc., are withthis division. The other, under tho manage-ment of C. W. Noyes. comprising M. de Berg,Jas. Cooke, Mlaco Brothers, Jimmy Reynolds,Prof, de Louis, etc., were at last advices(Dec 18) exhibiting for a few days undera tent in the French part of the City ofNow Orleans. They were to leave on tbe20th for Galveston, -Houston, etc.

The equestrian and' circus troupe now occu-pying the American Theatre. Philadelphia,continues to present novelty after novelty.Week of Jan. 8 wild wind up "Old DameTrot and Her domical Cat," to make roomfor the grand historical spectacle of "TheField of the Cloth of Gold/' which Is to bebrought out in splendid style on Jan, 15.

party) did not reach that city In time toopen, as advertised, on Christmas Day.James Nixon, after a very checkered cam-

paign by land and sea, arrived at Memphis,Tenn., on Jan. 4. There was some talk ofNixon and Dan Castello Joining forces, thelatter having withdrawn from Howe's con-cern.Tbe Rollande's Benefit.—The many admir-

ers of those talented and accomplished per-formers, the Kollande Brothers, whose actsas gymnasts and acrobats have been tbe won-der and admiration of our citizens for tholast three months, will have a benefit to-

night. As this is tbe only chance the citizensot New Orleans will have to reward thebrothers for their successful efforts to pleaseand amuse them, as an enginement at Ha-vana compels their departure In a few days,we hope the benefit will be a good one. Everyavailable Inch of standing room should be oc-cupied, and will be If they get their Justdeserts. A splendid bill Is In course ofpreparation, and the beneficiaries will per-form several new feats. Purchase tickets atonce, and Induce your friends to do likewise.

We are sorry to lose these fine performers.

Circus Doings, etc., at Havana, Cubs.—Inrelation to the circus and other sources ofamusement In the gay city of Havana, a cor-respondent gives us tho following account

:

"Havana, Cuba, Jan. 4, 1800. I&ltor Nx-wYohk CliirTBR—The first Norther of the sea-son. You cannot bave any Idea of the en-

toyment of a real good Nortber, but we whofive bad for tbe Inst nine months a tem-

perature from 72 to 08 degrees, are fullyalive to its advantages. The city at presentIs perfectly healthy and the places of enjoy-ment are in foil blast. The Teatro Tacon Is

Co.'s Circus, was at Memphis on Jan. 8, nuk-ing arrangements for the' appearance of bisshow thore about Feb. 1.

The Uollands Brothers have teen meetingwith considerable success In tholr gymnast!.:performances at New Orleans, nt ths Acini-amy of Music, where they concluded tbe I.'

engagement on Dec. 81. During tho follow-ing week they were to sail for Havana, titake charge of Don Jose Alblsu's Company,that gentleman being about to start withanother company for Mexico. The New Or-leans press highly eulogised the performsnees of tbe Holland* Brothers, as will tie

seen by tbe succeeding quotation: "Williamand Henry Dollonde are deserving ot mornparticular mention than they have yet re-ceived from us, and we aro glad to see thatthe enthusiasm created In tholr favor on tbeUrst appearance has by no means diminishedwith our citizens; in fact, there is such acharm of grace, agility nnd ease of move-ments, and a freshness of style in their won-derful fonts, that the public never tire ofseeing.

"It was probably theso valuable traltnwhich Induced the discriminating managersof the Academy to secure tbe service of thesetalented brothers for so lengthy a season

;

for, aside from the Hanlons, there are noother* who could wear so well in popularregard, drawing cheers nlgbt after night forweeks and It Is dubious whether any two oftho Hanlons can compete with them. TheRoliatides have gone to great oxpense In pro-curing a targe, rich and elegant wardrobe,and all their appliances aro ornamental tothe stage."The brothers are the embodiment of dar-

ing and grace In all tholr acts, nnd never fullbo bring down tho house,' In tho tuertes deMivn, the stilts, or any of their athletic orcomic feats. But the masterpiece—their'crowning blonr'—Is the MIMora rolotiUf theonly act of the kind which ever originatedIn America, and which In performed only bythem. The machinery for tbe exciting scenefastens in the dome of tbe theatre, but In noway Interferes with a view of tho stage fromany part of tbe house, and may be regardedas a decoration than otherwise."The act Itself consists of a series of leaps,

swings and somersaults in midair, which atfirst cause an involuntary shudder of fearand anxiety, but the perfect self-possessionof the actors soon sets Iho spectators at theirease, aud fear Id chmged to admiration andwonder. After some of th^lr couragcoimfeats, In which one of (be brothers, hangingto an Iron bar by his legs head downward,catches the other by the wrists or ankle aftera leap of ten or twelve feet, tbe wildestshouts of applause are rendeud, which in-crease and are prolonged as tho younger laat last thrown some thirty foot to the stage,alighting Invariably right side up In safety.No ono can afford to miss the Rollsndc per-formances."

The demonstra-tion was a perfect success, and In the courseof a thirty minute flight I alighted opon thewater at least a dot-en times and arose withperfect ease after each landing. The waterwas rough, many waves being as high asfour feet. In spite of this, however, thealighting and starting were made without dif-ficulty or special incident. The flights at-tracted a great crowd and the •athuslasmdisplayed was remarkable.

1VOCA1V OFFERINGS OF THE WE^KAT THE VAUD_BVIjL,:LvB AND DRAMATIC HOC8B8

CUr (Ben Leo, mgr.)—An attractive bill

of moving picture* and vaudevule drew the

usual good Louses 8-10.

•The Only Son," a dramatic playlet, Is

?resented by three male characters. A re-

armed burglar hid worked for ten years for

one man, and wa» about to be made hiB part-

ner. While at his employer's house be caught

bis own son burglarizing the house, after the

proprietor had alarmed the household. His

ion Informs him that he hat learned of his

father's record, and has become a burglar by

inheritance. The father pushes him out of

the room as the proprietor returns with adetective, who recognises the former burglar,

and is about to arrest him, but by means of a

little retainer he la not quite so sure of his

Identity. The employer then sends for the

on and In bis presence accuses the father

of the crime, which causes the boy to break

down and confess the facts. He gets em-

ployment, and the partnership planned

earlier, Is consummated. The dramatic situ-

ations were well worked up, and with the

exception of a few too energetic movementsby toe father, the work was thoroughly con-

vincing. A handsome library set was used

Anada was a clever -violinist, attractive

in face and figure, and wearing a showy short

gown. She played "The Rosary," a medleyof popular airs, and concluded with "TheRagtime Violin."' Her turn was warmly ap-

plauded. . . .

Lucky and Linden had a sketch between ahigh class German souse and a policeman, aletter carrier and an old man. The Inebriatedperson took particular delight In springingriddles. Several novel ways of getting adrunk were shown, and toe souse finally

mails himself and Is taken to his destina-

tion by the letter carrier.

Zeno and Mandell were a happy team, the

lady short, plump and jolly, and the youngman a good singer. Both are acquainted witha piano also. They sang "Stick to Me aLittle Closer," "When Ragtime Rosle Raggedthe Rosary," "I'm Going Fishing, Too," andMr. Zenos "Macaroni Joe" selection wascleverly done. They were also there withthe footwork.The Baker De Voe Trio of comedy acrobats

bad the house laughing all of the time. Thetwo soldiers were comical In make-up andaction, and the captain put them throughtheir paces. They Introduced some work outof the ordinary with tables and chairs, andtheir tumbling and comedy finish earned themmuch applause.'

Callan and Callan took a little while to

get going, but did well In their singing anddancing. Mr. Callan had some lively move-ment* of himself, and alto Introduced someacrobatic stunts that were liked. The ladyhad several changes of costumes, and shesang "Fiddle Up" by herself, and "BambooBaby Dance," with her partner, to a satis-

factory "off.''

The Farlnelle Trio of singers, two men anda woman, opened with a medley of Italian,

French and English popular songs. The mencame back with fine saxophone duets, andthen the lady exercised her voice In a yodllngnuttier full of surprising vocal manoeuvres,They sang "Come Back to Erin" for a fin-

ish, with excellent results.The Brownings made good in their turn,

opening with an Irish duet, In which Mr.Browning did a lot of stuttering in pro-nouncing the name of Flanagan. His Illus-

trations of the different responses to the re-

quest for a kiss In different cities were wellworked up. Mrs. Browning then Invited himfor a ride In an Imaginary airship, and theIncidental business up In the air was tunny.In "Buckwheat Cakes," Mr. Browning gotenthusiastic and the line of talk about theharem skirt and woman suffrage was a goodfinisher.

The pictures were exceptionally Interesting.i

Fourteenth Street (J. Wesley Rosen-quest, mgr.)—Thursday, Feb. 8, the six netsat this popular downtown house played tothe usual full house Thursday afternoon.

Jack Callahan and company presented anamusing comedy sketch, entitled "The Doc-tor'* Visit." The company consists of twowomen and a man. The name of one of thewomen and tbat of her sick dog are thesame, and two doctors, one a veterinary andthe other a regular physician, have namessimilar. The calling of the wrong doctorcauses complications, which are finally

straightened out. The act closed with singing,which went very well.

Dalton and Lee, two men, made up asA. Mutt and a Chinaman, presented someIndian clob joggling that was very fair. TheChinaman closed with several songs, renderedIn a good falsetto voice. His closing song,"All Alone," which he sang in two telephones(In a falsetto voice in one end a baritonevoice In the other), made a big hitTwo men in evening dress famished the

hit of the show. Why their names were notannounced we do not know. Among tbeongs were "Good-Bye, My Love, Good-Bye,H

"If My Dream* Were Made of Gold, I'd Boythe World for Too," "Mandy Lee." "I Wanta Girl Just Like the Girl Who Married DearOld Dad," "Silver Threads Among the Gold,""I'm Falling in Love With Someone" and"Lady Angelina" These fellows have excel-lent voices, and rarely outside of big time 1*

such vocalisation heard.A laughable sketch was presented by a man

and two young women, who they were andwhat is tbe name of their offering, was notannounced. The scene shows a country rail-

road station. The man taking the part ofstation agent, porter, hotel clerk, cook andseveral others, hands out some laughable talk

,to the two girls, who have missed the last

McKinley Square (Dan Supple, mgr.)—One of the beet bills ever seen, here crowded"tbe honse beautiful" to the rails at everyperformance the last half of the past week,and pleased the Immense audiences greatly.The policy of the management In securingtbe best obtainable for their patrons la mak-ing this house one of the most popular inthis section.

George Kane, billed as a "screaminglytunny fellow," certainly lived up to bis repu-tation, for he had the audience laughing con-tinually at his funny sayings and originalgags, and when he started to yodel thst lul-

laby It brought back to many tender memo-ries of the late J. E. Emmett. George cer-tainly put It over.

Following him came Conroy and Keeler,who are not the baseball players their namessuggest, but do a comedy singing and talkingspecial!?, one as an Irishman and onestraight. Their comedy waa original, as weretheir songs, and when they played a comicversion of "Othello and Desdemona" theycaused much laughter and received heartyapplause.The stock company were next, and they

were easily the hit of the bill. Again tbemembers of tills little company showed theirversatility by presenting Edna May 8pooncr'sformer vaudeville vehicle, "The ObstinateFamily" (and they certainly were obstinate).The funny little quarrel over an insignificant

sentence kept the audience laughing inces-

santly. Miss Akerstrom. Miss Tyrone andMessrs. Le Sueur and VUIasana deserve spe-

cial mention for tbe capable and efficient

manner in which they handled their re-

spective roles.

The Three Tentleys are two men and awoman. Tbe woman does all the work In theact, and Is an exceptionally clever juggler. Herfeature is that of catching tin plates scaled

across the stage at terrific speed. Her otherstunts are the usual routine of a jugglingact The elder man Is merely an assistant,

and the younger does a few acrobatic stuntsbetween waits.

Daniels and Conrad, ragtime Instrumental-ists, certainly did live up to their billing.

With a piano and a violin they gave us rag-

time hits galore, Jumped into the classics,

and then finished up with more ragtime stuff.

Both of these youngsters are masters of their

respective Instruments, find their One play-

ing was certainly enjoyed and appreciatedby the large audience.

Blake's mule. Maud, the original "Hee-Haw" animal, did cause a peck of trouble forthose who essayed to ride her, and causedplenty of laughs by the smart manner In

which she threw the would-be riders.

The feature films were "8<wlftwlnd'a Hero-Ism" (Pathe), "A Night Out" (Sollg). and"Broncho Bill's Adventure" (Essanay). Otherswere Lnbln, Pathe and Sellg (commercial).

Lincoln Square (Chas. Ferguson, mgr.)—Standing room only was the conditionlate comers were obliged to accept at thematineo of Thursday, Feb. 8, by the time the

first Taudevllle act appeared In the Incom-ing new show of that date.

Speaking of the new show (six acts), col-

lectively it Is a qnestlon if a more entertain-

ing list of acts has appeared In one bill at

this house since It came under the Loew man-agement.The stage cards announced Kerr, a modest

appearing young man, as tbe starter of theshow. He Is quite an expert violinist, how-ever, and he got by nicely, his Imitations

with a hom attached lo the violin being his

best appeal for the favor of the big audience.Howell and Scott, Hebrew comedians,

gained a storm of laughter with tbelr parodysongs and Ylddisher cakewalk. They would?et much better results from their cross-fire

Ik, however, If they adopted a quietermethod in putting It over.

Schepp't Circus followed, with Mr. Scheppworking hi* animals In a manner that broughtthe laughter and applause in bunches. Thisanimal trainer docs not believe in carrying acarload of stage paraphernalia, but there 1*

a requisite number of animals, and they all

work. There are four beautiful ponies,

carrying monkey riders ; a fine riding dog, asedate monkey doctor, a marching dog, cutepoodle dogs which work, as do all the ani-

mals, without the need of whipping; amonkey wbo Jumps to the stage from a topbox, and the act closes with the unrldable

pony making it warm for bis would-be riders.

Mr. Schepp Injects a running fire of brisk

comedy talk during bis act, and it la In everyway worthy of a good position on any pro-

gram,A young man rendered a ballad at this

point of the bill, aided by an excellent voice

and pretty slides, snd we all "helped" Mm In

the chorus. . ,Catherine Challoncr and company presented

the fareelet "Stop, Look and Listen," .In

which Miss Challoncr displayed quite a little

dramatic ability in the one tense scene, andthe young country girl fairly shared the

honor* with her.,

After a week'* darkness the door* of this

beautiful playhouse were opened on the abovedate for tbe first presentation in New Yorkof a new play, called "Making Good." whichIt decidedly did not do. In the popular pricemelodrama houses "Making Good" may navea chance, but never in a playhouse where thebest seats cost $2 each. The piece Is melo-dramatic to the core, bnt It ts well written.Its leading character is Thomas Lawrence, thespendthrift son of a millionaire, who, afterwasting a fortune, goes to the Maine woodsand "makes good" as a "producer." Here hemeets Deronda Deane, and each fall in lovewith one another. Of course the "villain,"

Pete Selby, Is Jealous, there is a fight, and,luce all melodramas, the hero wins everythinghe la battling for—his sweetheart, the re-

covery of bis father's lost fortune, etc., etcThe play failed to meet with favor and

closed. Elsie Ferguson opened 12, In "TheFirst Lady in the Land."

Grand Opera Home (Jack Welch, mgr.)—Macuthla, a play in four acts, by RIdaJohnson Young, produced Monday, Feb. 5, byAugustus Pltou, with this cast

:

Sir Brian Fitzgerald Chauncey OlcottWarren Falrchlld Charles WellcslySandv McNabb Robert V. FergusonThomas Wiggins E. H. Reardon.Dlnny O'Mara George BrennanWill Dorklns F. Gatenby BellA Bookmaker Edmund ShaletPatricia Boyer Gall KaneMrs. Boyer Jennie LamontGwendolyn Falrchlld.. .Katherme ClarendonLady Dorothy Hammond Alice Farrell

The engagement of Cbauncey Olcott inNew York for a limited time can always bedepended upon to draw a capacity audience,end his appearance Monday evening, Feb. 6,

at this house was marked by one of thelargest crowds that was ever seen here."Macusbla" is the title of the piece, and 1*

the nsual Olcott play, while perhaps contain-ing a little more plot than some of the recastones presented by him.

Mr. Olcott was cast as Sir Brian Fitzger-ald, the unwilling heir to many broad anddebt-ridden acres la Ireland. He owned ahorse named Macusbla, a famous jumper, andthat Is about all tbat he dared to keep hi*own when pressed by creditors. Grown upwith him from childhood was Patricia Boyer,daughter of the lodge keeper. Tbe youngwoman could not brlug herself to recognizethe dignity of the title her old playmate hadacquired, nor could he recognize that sbc hadcome to be a woman without suspecting It.

Several ladles from England tried to moveSir Brian with their wiles, and several men,including tbe usual English villain, tried tofind a way Into the heart of Patricia. Towardthe end of the play, when It seemed tbnt SirBrian was about to be dispossessed of hislands and his Pitrlcla, Macushla won a raceand thereby brought to her owner muchwealth and the girl he loved.Mr. Olcott's singing seems to have lost

none of Its sweetness, tbo audience ap-plauding heartily every song be sang. Duringthe action of tbe play he sang four songs,tbe best being "The Girl I'll Call My Sweet-heart Mutt Look Like You." Mr. Olcott ha*surrounded himself with a capable companywho at all times give him excellent support.

Gall Kane, as Patricia Itoycr, the plainlittle Irish country girl, was convincing atall times, and her performance waa wellliked Charles Wellesly, as an English lord,

gsve a fine portrayal of his character. Therest of the company were well cast. The en-gagement is for three weeks only.

Fields, on Feb. 8, was certainly an event, andJudging by what they all sold It was the event.And they ought to know, as they were all

there. They In this case means everybodywho Is anybody In any line In the metropolis,and many who camo hundreds of miles. Andwhen David Bclasco said, as he stepped to

the footlights : "Golly ! I'm glad to be here 1

It Is a great night," he voiced the sentimentsof the large audience ihat filled every nookand cranny in the Broadway Theatre.The opening performance was more than

a performance'. It was a general jollification,with handshaking alt around, and as forlaughs— Broadway hasn't resounded withsuch laughter since the old days of the Weber-llelds Music Hall. Everybody was hungry forone of tbe old time laughs which used to behanded out at the home of burlesque con-ducted by these two popular manager-actors,and they wero there to take full advantageof the opportunity offered.To revive memories of the old days and

make the Broadway «tm llko tho little musicball, Messrs. Wober and Fields had gatheredabout them many of the familiar playerswho went to make the grand total of popu-larity of the old dayt, and to further Jog ourmemory there wero uw.y of the old Strom-berg melodies, not one whit less melodious orcatcby—Just as fresh and crisp as whenpenned by the melodic genius wbo, thoughpassed away, Is ever remembered by thosewho have heard his compositions. Wo beardLillian RusbcII sing "Come Down, My Even-ing Star," Just aa she used to, and Kay Tem-pleton rendered "Rosle" with a replica of theold Wcbei'fleld collection of gingery cborutgirls. In tbe choruses, too, we heard manyof the Stromberg strains.With Lillian Russell, Fay Templeton, Wm.

Collier, Bessie Clayton, John T. Kelly, JoeWeber, Lew Fields, the statuesque FrankleBailey, and a budget of Stromberg melodies,It It any wonder that we harked back todays wben tho Webbsrlleld burlesquers weretbe voguo? But enough of tbe reminiscent.The present show's the thing, and It la

Just the thing to please the thousands thatwill flock to this theatre during the limitedengagement of the Jubilee."Hokey Pokey" Is a pot-pourri of popular

burlesques given at tbe old music ball. It I*full of brightness, wit and color, and Intro-duces the full strength of the company.

Lillian Russell, as radiant as ever, andlooking as youthful ns she did twenty yearsago, sang as sweetly as of yore, and cap-tured her hearers with the asms easy grsce•which has been hers ever slnco we firstknew her. Her gowns were marvelous crea-tions, and while Miss Russell commanded tbeadmiration of all of her sex In the audience,they could not help being envious of the fairsinger's dresses.

Beesle Clayton, more agile than ever, gaveone of her remarkible dances, entitled "LoClaire de la Luno," in which the was as-sisted by signur A. Romeo, • very cleverdancer. The reception given Miss Claytonand tho applause accorded her work mad* thehonse ring.

William Collier was as dryly humorous a*ever, and, with bis sitter, Molcna CollierOarrick, treated us to the duet, "On theStage," In which these two clever players In-troduced "I'm Going Away from Here"

—

"From Herer "From Here!"Fay Templeton was delightful. She pos-

sesses true sense of burlesque and bring*out the best points In thl* lino of work. Shewat In good voice and won her usual heartyrecognition.

George Beban, as an excitable proprietorof a French csfe, waa capital.

Somaone said the "Return of Peter Grimm," thefour player* on the stage Jumped for him,and hugged him, tbe audience discovered whoit was, and the ovation accorded him mustbare warmed the cockles of his heart.

"I'm not In this," said Warlleld, "I'm Justmaking a call." He then motlcned to thewings, and David Beltaco appeared. It wasthen Mr. Belasco mada his little speech.

It would be Impossible to adequately de-scribe tho outbursts of applause with whichthe playhouse rang as each of the old fa-vorites appeared. Nothing like It hat beenBeen on Broadway, and this is tantamount toBaying It has never been seen or heard any-where, and as the large audience filed out ofthe theatre they all wero glad, that they hadbeen fortunate In being able to sec anotherWehertlulfl first night, tnd sympathized withtheir less fortunate brothers and sisters whohad been denied the privilege.

' *Irving Place Theatre.— "Standing

room only" decorated la large letters tbebox-offloe of Irving Place Theatre, Feb. T,when Olaute und Htimat ("Faith and Honu>-itead"), a tragedy, In three acts, hy KarlBchonlierr, waa presented. This pity ha*created one of the greatest sensation* onail German stages wnero it wis presented,ana has proved an enormous drawing cardhere too. The story runs as follows: Dur-ing tbe time of tbe lieformation, that Is atthe beginning of the Thirty Year War, Fer-dinand, then King of Austria, issued anedict sgalnst thu follower* of Martin l.uthe,-.

The peasant* are ordered to either return tothe Catholic Church or to leave their coun-try. Most of them choose tholr new religionand with bleeding hearts leave the countryof their birth nnd wander to strange lands.Only the family of Rett, the male membersof which were Lutherans, while tlio womenwere good Catholics, do not openly acknowl-edge their new faith, A boldler of the kingeuKpects tbem, and. by hi* cruelty force*them to confess tholr loyalty to tbe Lutherinreligion. The young sou, rebelling againsttali cruelty, I* slain In cold bioedT Seeingthe futility of any longer rebelling and filledwith a horror against country and king thatthus rob* them of their child, they finallydecide to leave their homestead and to goto a land where thuy can openly worshiptheir religion. Tbe women, although bronibtup In tbe Catholic faith, do not hesitate toaccompany their husband* on their pil-grimage.

Old man Rott, with his eighty-two years.Is suffering from dropsy, bat only two moreweeks to live, end does not want to contesthit loyalty to the Lutheran religion untilhit last hour approaches, so that he it sureto be burled In the old village churchyardwhere all bis forefathers arc rearing, anddoes not have to wander tnd be burled In''i'ii strange place, where nobody will knowhim when nc wake* up on the day of resur-r-ctlon. The part was played admirably byHerr Adolf Fink.The leading female part, that of young

Rott's peasant wife, was played by Frl.Meyer, wbo presented herself for the firsttime Id Now York In a serious play, herformer appearances having been in lightopera. She portrayed tho difficult part ofthe woman, who horself Is a good Catholic,but doett not hesitate a minute to give upher home to follow her husband, with won-derful ability, but had overlooked tbe factthat she was to be tbo mother of a boy. four-teen or fifteen years old, and lacked at leastten years In bcr appearance to make this factcredible. Hcrr Platen and Frl. Petby did verywell In the roles of Handperger and bis wife.Herr Murauer, also a member of the operettacompany, proved again his ability as char-acter comedian In the smalt but difficult roleof the vagabond, and waa ably assisted byFrl. Dlcner. Hcrr Ottbcrt, as the Bngel-bauer, wbo take* advantage of the victims ofthe persecution by buying up their farm*,could not master the Tyrolean dialect, andwould altogether have been better adaptedfar the role of young Rott, which, In turn,had been intrusted to Herr Krager, whofailed complete t In tbe attempt to bring outthe strength of that character. Herr Ehr-hardt-PIaten furnished tbe role of tbe Wildsoldier, driving out the unfortunate peasants,with all the necessary qualltter. Smallerrole* were played by Frl*.

THE CLIPPER

ANNIVERSARY.With this Issue Tub Clipper begin* ita

tlxtieth year ot uninterrupted publication.

Fifty-nine years have been spent In a consls-

tent effort to help along the classes it hat

catered to. Early In Hi career, when Ita col-

umns were devoted chiefly to sporting mat-ten, by careful management and untiring

effort, It became the recognised authority onail matter* relating to the field of tports. Thecircus and mtnttrcl troupca and all popular

forma of amusement have been aided In their

development through the columns of TinCuff**. Later on It became the championof vaudeville, at a time when all other

publications were outspoken In condemnationof tbla amuaement, Tun Clipi'kii, olngle-

handed and alone, upheld It, and predicted

for It a great future, when certain objection-

able feature*, which existed at that time, wereeliminated. The dramatic Held baa alao

been covered, and la Ita reviews of new playaor productions, Tim Ci.ippan has aimed to

give fair and Impartial opinions regardingthem, always seeking out the points of excel-

lence tbey contained and avoiding the sarcas-

tic and abusive criticisms of trifling defect*

which are so frequently Indulged In by the

so-called dramatic critics, and which oftenbring discouragement to both actor and man-ager. Tim Clippir has always believed thatIts mission was to "build up" rather than to

"tear down" the show business, and In all

the years of Ita existence It has consistently

adhered to this policy. All branches of theprofession have shown appreciation of TunClipper's methods by their unwavering sup-port and patronage. And now that TinClippeb Is entering upon another year. It

•wishes to express Ha heartfelt thanks to sll

those friends who have assisted It In Its longand creditable career. It assures them thatIn the future It will be guided only by Ihepolicy which has achieved its past success,

and that It will endeavor, by keeping fullyabreast with the times, to render even moreacceptable service, and to Increase Kb use-fulness In Its chosen Held.

THE LAY OF THE ANCIENTMINSTREL,.

A minstrel man la what I am,. Aa you can plainly see,And, if you listen, I will toll

How minstrels came to be.In a boarding house In old New York, In 1842,Four comrades met one day.With music and with merry Jest to piss the

- time away.Dick Pell, or Pelbam, better known,Who was a circus clown—' -'

Tbe' brightest,''merriest fellowIn all that good old town.

Hit friends were Billy Wnltlock, Dan DecaturEmntett, too;

Frank Brower. who played the banjo Just like

tbe darkles do.

Now Felham took the tambourine,Wnltlock took the bones,

While Bmmett'a violin did addThe music of Its tones.

They, fitted up a storeAt 42 Park Row::

Hung a curtain, built a stage,

And then they gave a show.Bach put bnrnt cork upon bis face,And In a circle sat.

Started In to Imitate the lolly negro race.

The Virginia Minstrels they were called,

Dick Felham and his comrades three,

And on that night, ao long ago,Waa the birth of minstrelsy.And from that day and until this,

We've the minstrel man and the minstrelmiss.

IETHUC. MORELAND MMB'STBIUY.

For some weeks poet I have been greatly

Interested In the artldea appearing In TubCtlPPBB relative to tbe resuscitation af 1

a

permanent minstrel company in the City or

New York.Authorities, whose knowledge of various

branches of the minstrel propaganda is un-

questioned, like my friends Frank Dnmont,

H. B. Leavltt and Edw. Le Roy Bice, have

given their opinions upon the feasibility sad

practicability of such an enterprise.

While I have not the audacity to place my-Belt in a class which theso writers hsve an un-

doubted right to claim, I venture, as being alittle more than a deckhand, to express ray

poor views upon tbe subject thus discussed.

It lo easy tit become an Iconodast, still

easier to be a pessimist, but no one should

venture to appear in either role without offer-

ing a logical argument for the position as-

sumed. It Is a msitrer of little conseanence

except for the verification of records, whetherminstrelsy commenced In January or Feoraary 1843, but It Is of Importance to note

that at that particular time the Abolition

Movement first found open expression in thepoilltcs of the country. The woea of the

negro, sympathy for his enslaved condition,

and appreciation of his ability to be cheerful

while In bondagejgave to minstrelsy Ita first

encouragement. The ballads aung In the first

part bad In them a pathos which not eventhe qnlps or comic ditties of the endmencould disburse. The audiences heard In themelodies on appeal of the serf ; tbey saw In

the antics of the comedians the tendency toJollity which not even the whip of tbe slavedriver could obliterate, and so minstrelsyprospered.

When the minstrel company traveledthrough the country It plsyed In towns andvillage* where tbe theatre was regarded asa place of abomination, and tbe simplicity ofthe minstrel performance destroyed the feel-

ing of horror with which theatrical perferm-snees were regarded.The amusement profession of to-day can

*»»OPERA IN CINCINNATI.

Mary Garden and Other Stars atMule Hall.

Cincinnati's brief season of grand operawaa very successful. Three magnificent au-diences gathered at Music Hsll to enjoy Vic-tor Herbert's "Natomft," "The Secret of Su-sanne," ''Hensel and Orctet" and "Tristanand Isolde." The Chicago Grand Opera Co.broved a' well balanced organisation. MaryUarden waa the magnet of the first opera,and Cincinnati at once took her to Its mu-sical heart Mabel Rlegelman, a native Cin-cinnati girl, came Into hor own, and wasroyally welcomed as Oretel. Charles Dal-.mores was catt as Hansel. One of the great-est Individual hits of the season was scoredby. Caroline White, whose singing of "TheOde to Spring" called forth one of the mostenthusiastic demonstrations of the brief fes-tival of opera.

LATE CURTAIN FOR THE LITTLETHEATRE.

WInthrop Ames announces an Innovationfor the Little Theatre, which will open tbefirst week In March. The curtain will riseat a quarter of nine o'clock, Inaiead ot aquarter after or half-past eight, as Is thecustom In most of the other theatres,

_ su aRALPH LONG ILL.

,Ralph Long, the manager of the Thirty-

ninth Street Theatre, New York, and one ofthe chief men in tbe Shubert office, Is at bishome suffering from throst trouble. The doc-tors say that he will soon be out again. Mr.Long Is one of the youngest theatre manager*la toe country and one of the most popular.

thank the minstrel profession for being thepioneers who opened to their successors theamusement loving public, which to-day main-tains an army where only a few stragglingguerillas coulcl obtain subsistence. As yearswent on and the abolition movement becamestronger, prior to tbe outbreak of the CivilWar, minstrelsy flourished, and pert of itssucccbs can he attributed to the genius ofone man. That man was the late StephenC. Foster. The opera Is not more Indebtedto Rossini, Gounod, Meyerbeer, Verdi, et at.,than Is negro minstrelsy to the compositionsof Stephen C. Foster. How msny minstrelcompanies have lived by tbe rendition of the"Old Folks at Home," "My Old KentuckyHome," "Hard Times Come Again No More;''"Belle Brandon," "Ellen Bayne," "BeautifulDreamer." "The Virginia Rosebud," "ComeWhere My Love Lies Dreaming/' "NellieGray," "Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground,"and so many more that it Is Impossible toenumerate them In the space which I hopeyou will be able to bestow upon this article.

Minstrelsy met Its first blow by tbe Inocu-lation 01 a deadly bacillus in the form of theemancipation proclamation when Issued byPresident Lincoln. Its effect was not immediate, hut the constitutional amendments15 and 16 were even more deadly. Once thenegro wbb declared not only free, but thesocial eaual of the white man and given thoballot, be ceased to require the sympathywhich had drown large audiences to the min-strel performances.

Minstrelsy has recognized this. Hence somany appear In white face, In court costumes,etc.. for they realize tbe transition In thepublic mind regarding the Afro-American.There are a great many people, no doubt,

who cherish reminiscences of their youth,when they enjoyed the entertainment pro-vided by negro minstrelsy, and who will, forthe sake of reviving such reminiscences, visitminstrel performances. But It Is somethinglike the feeling that all who have grown oldexperience when they find the beloved foodof their youth palls upon their educated tasteIn afterlife.

I do not believe a sufficient clientele forthe support of a permauent minstrel companycould be found In any city that will pay amanager who desires to give a tint claas-ner.formance. Everyone of the critics whom Ihave before mentioned, have suggested eitherdlrectiy or by Implication that the cost ofSroductlonn calculated to satisfy the publicas Increased enormously. The tendency of

the times fs to reduce admission fees, andwith these two opposing forces, vis., the In-,creased cost and the reduced admission fee,Whtt hope, can there be for ruecess In min-strelsy's revivification? Styles of amusementchance and minstrelsy belongB to the era of-the hoopsklrt and the poke bonnet. Like boththese fashions It may return,, but Its beautyand simplicity which recommended It to an"fJi88 WaBC and aatlated with more highlyPn2l!,

« |PITTSBURGH TO HAVE NEWPLAYHOUSE.

Pittsburgh Is to have a new and palatialtheatre. It will be erected at Peon Avenueand Seventh Street, on tbe alte of old SecondPresbyterian Church property, lately securedfrom New York Interests by the Pcnn AvenueReal Estate Corporation. The building Is tobe constructed of a combination of brick sndterra cotta. Plans of the structure are beingmade by M. Nlrdllnger, who expects to haveall drawings and specifications ready to sub-mit to contractors by Feb. IS.Mr. Nlrdllnger's plans call for a building

with a seating capacity of 1,870, ao arrangedthat every sesf will glvo a perfect view of thestage. A generous provision has been madefor fire exits on both the Seventh Street andtho Scott alley side of the building, far ex-ceeding tbe requirements demanded by law.Combination inclines and stairways areadopted from the auditorium to tbe balconyand to the gallery, which eliminates steepf;rades, where inclines arc used entirely. Thentcrtor Is of the French Reneissancc period.One of the notable features will be tbe in-terior lighting, which will be Indirect, hidingfrom view all lights, depending entirely uponreflectors, which has proved very successfulfor this class of work. The cost of the build-ing, as estimated by tho architect, will bebetween 4200,000 and $250,000.Tho Penn Avenue Real Estate Corporation,

as announced on Jan. 25, Is composed orPittsburgh men, who recently paid 1700,000for the Second Church lot. The lot measures110x120 feet, and has three street frontages,counting Scott alley, which extends along itsWestern line. As yet Ihe securing of a lesseefor this theatre has not been considered.Those behind the project are confident It willprove a success because ot the location ofthe property, which makes It attractive forstores as well as for a theatre. When thebuilding Is up It will fix permanently tbecharacter ot the former church property,which for several years has been shythingbut sightly, and which fact has retardedother property owners ln the neighborhoodfrom putting up modem buildings.

Haj.btic (Lyman B. Glover, mgr.)—Thisweek's bill: Honors and Le Prince, comedyacrobats, opened the show, and pleased, A I.

and Pannle Stoadman followed with enter-taining on the piano and rinsing. Nana wasIn third position, and offered a neat dancingnumber. Harry Brcen, a hard worker, wonpopular favor, and left the audience hungrywith his rapid-fire singing and talking. Hefurnished tho only comedy offering of thoevening. Marguerite Haney, In "The Lead-ing Lady," held down position "F." Misslimey la very pretty and charming, bat therest of tho company, which includes someten people all tola, do very little to cause anycomment. The sketch la very poor withcomedy that loses many laughs. It alsodrags and Is on tho stage far too long. Mime.I'anltn, flute virtuoso, held down an Im-portant position, and that is tho best wocan say of the offering. For an act of thiskind It Is undoubtedly as good as can beseen or heard, but It should have been onthe bill near the opening. "A Romance of thoUnderworld," Armstrong's sketch, we sawlast season, but there aro several changesIn the cast, and they set along very nicely.Joseph B. Howard ana Mabel McCano offer

a neat singing act, here for the first time.Wo have all seen and heard "Joe" manytimes, and he Is just the same as ever. Hehaa many friends In the city. Miss McCanoIs now quite well known, having como Intoprominence within the past two years. Shelias a charming manner and sings spdendldly.Their material is old, using bits from "MissNobody from Starland" and several songsthat Howard composed In his last productionat the Cort Theatre. Joe was compelled torespond to the numerous curtain calls, andgave a neat little curtain speech. A realstrong bill cornea next week, when Eva Tan-

Suay will be aim. She Is always a strongrawing card here, and It Is needless to say

that many people will be turned away atevery performance, as was the case whenHayes und Norjcorth were headlining. Thebill Includes the Four Fords, Milton andDolly Nobles, Nicholas Sisters, Mile. De Fal-lloros, Mosher, Hayes and Moshcr, World andKingston, and Lynch md Zoller.

Miss Drew was suffering with a cold to suchan extent that she could hardly sing at all.

In spite of this handicap, tbe offering seemedto please. The Clark Trio followed. A ladyana a gentleman played banjoes, while an-other lady sang. Their numbers were )oud>yapplauded. The Valerie Bcrgere Players werethird, with "What Happened to Boom 44,"

by Victor R. Smalley. This sketch had pre-viously been seen at the Majestic. It Is veryentertaining, and the surprise finish givesIt an added Interest In vaudeville. RuthKaynor, Jack Carter and Edward Hemmerare the players. Jennie Ward and Hllile

Cnllen, In a smart songalog, were next toclosing, and offered songs and talk In a verypleasing manner. Miss Ward haa personalityand charm. Mr. Cullen Is also talented.Capt. Max Gruber and his animals closed theshow. He Introduced an elephant, an edu-cated horse, a pony and a dog. This at-traction was held at the Kedele all week. Itla a very fine offering. Business was goodon Tuesday night. The downstairs waspacked for the second show, and the frontrows of the balcony were filled. ManagerMalcolm Invariably has big crowds, and theKedtle has come to be known as one of thebest paying houses In Chicago.

"White Slave Slides Popular.\V. Lindsay Gordon writes as follows : "The

success of my slides and lecture on the WhiteSlave Traffic has been so great that I havenow completed all arrangements for a com-plete line of special paper for this great fea-

ture. I have spared no expense In gettingthis up, as I feel confident tbat the questionof white slavery la only In its Infancy, andwill be one of the greatest drawing cards Inthe country for years to come. My lectureand slides are now In nse both by pulpit andstage, which speaks well for the way I havearranged my talk and slides. It being writ-ten In a story form, it affords an excellentchance to tell the story of a yonng girl Inthe country, who meets a white slaver andwho entices her away to the city, where hesells her Into slavery. Though in story form,It Is built upon actual facts, and with sim-ple, well worded language It tells a lessontbat will long be remembered by those havingonce heard It After reading my story monthsago, a lady, who Is one of the leading work-ers In the crusade of the white slaver, said

:

'Mr. Gordon, you have a great story. Youhave far the best end of the argument. Tourstory la one of prevention. If your storyand .slides could get the showing they de-serve, It would greatly lessen our work.Your slides should be shown In every theatreand church In the country. Publicity as tothe methods' used by these fiends la what Iswanted to stamp It out, ns your story andslides advocate.' So, with assurance such asthis. I feel confident of what I am giving thepublic. Dante's Inferno, Ten Nights m aBar Room and Uncle Tom's Cabin, with ipc-clal paper, are going fine also. Everyoneusing my slides will now be able to get spe-cial paper just at coat I am alao fitting upsmall shows with everything, slides, lectures,special paper and lanterns, and they are mak-ing big money in small towns."

THE SISTERS McCONNELL.Regarding those two clever girls, the Slaters

McConnell, two young Misses who arc amongthe most versatile people Jn the profession.They are well known in all branches ofamusements, and have played numerous lead-ing roles with the many organizations theyhave been connected with. Both are alsoclever soubrcttea and Ingenues, and havemany bright specialties. Their talents arcnatural, as they are children of the stage,their father and mother preceding them inthe profession. Imagine two emotional ac-tresses being seen in a road company by avaudeville manager having sent for then tonppenv at his theatre and produce some oftheir specialties he had seen them do, andfinally during the engagement ho asked themIf they could direct ana produce a lady min-strel show, which they did and with perfectsatisfaction, from opening chorus to finale,and played the bones and tambourine ends likeold timers and in black face (but In Topsymake-ups Instead of the regulation end suits).The girls really have played everything from"Zaza" to "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and can danceanything In a perfect manner from a buckdance to a Spanish fandango. Ben Teal hadthem come from New York to Chicago on theTwentieth Century Limited on three days'notice to create two parts In the productionof "A Winning Miss?' which had a run attbo New Garden Theatre (now AmericanMusic Hall). They also have been featuredfor a run at the zlcgfcld Theatre, ChicRgo,with "The Girl in the Klruonn" Co., andwere specially engaged at Hie Alhumbra The-atre, Milwaukee, Wis., to produce a differentspecialty weekly for six weeks, and proveda strong drawing card, nnd In vaudeville theyhave made two Const to Coast tours on theOrphpum circuit. The Western VaudevilleManagers' Association have also had theirservices for forty weeks at Intervals. All inall, the sisters have proven their worth andare in great demand at nil tlmcB.

pleasing personality and good voice, she wasa big hit. Mile. Vortex, the aerial Venus,presented a novelty thriller, doing a combi-nation trapeze and tooth grip act, and heldthe audience spellbound with her hazardousfeats. As a finale she grips a bit on a wirewith her teeth and swings out over the or-

chestra. This 1b one of tho best olio acts Inburlesque.The closing- burletta, "Tho Daklssed Ori-

A good ensemble number by the chorus InSalome costumes was sung nicely. A tam-bourine dance by the dancing dolls waa verygood. May Belle and Ralph Samone, sing-ing "I Want a Pal Like you," waa a cleverlittle number nicely sung, Harry Bentleysang several good parodies. Harry has aregular voice and put over the classics Inflne form. "A Jolly Tar Like Me" wbb an-other song well sung by Harry.

BABE LA TOURTHE CIRL WITH THE HATS

With the "BON TONA"

THE CKCUS FEVER.

BY IUBRV LA PSABL.

Nearly all show people are acquaintedwith the circus fever. For the benefit o( tbefew who do not know what It Is I will try toexplain. It Is not like tbe malaria or ty-

phold.It is a disease very different from any

other I know. It lias had doctors, managersand scientists guessing for years In regardto a cure, but so far they have been unableto discover same. Strange to say, it Is avery serious disease, tut does not prove fatal,

as it only has a tendency to make the patientfeel ambitious.One usually notices the symptoms In the

Siring—It causes you to Imsglne you cansee elephants, smell blue paint and hei>r

brass buntls. If you have the ailment veryseriously you undoubtedly will see yourImaginations in reality.

The only real cure for circus fever Is oldage or too much prosperity, and still In theyears to come it very often manifests Itself

In various stages.Once a trouper you always carry that

tender spot for some return engagement. It

Isn't always as pleasant an we picture In ourmind's eye. Very often the weather is veryJlsBRreenble and wo experience some un-pleasant situations. Well do I remember,while with the B. A B. Show, the muddy lot

in charlotte, N. C. After the show wsaloaded at night an elephant was discoveredstuck in the mud, and It required nineteenstake pullers to hoist his trunk, thus enablinghim to meander on his way to tbe cars. Butwithal It la a merry life.

I told the story about the elephant and histrunk In the menagerie and It made tbe lionsroar. I have been asked very often In

the Summer what we circus folks do In theWinter. Some are comfortably seated by thefireside In some country vlllsge. Some are

?laying vaudeville, while others arc tryingheir best to weather the storm. Tbe last

mentioned are tbe greatest sufferers from thecircus fever.

I am well acquainted with a party whothought he was cured of the fever, so wantedto go Into vaudeville the worst way. He tookout a big act, but It was not as much of asuccess n« ho anticipated. Being good-heart-ed, he thought everybody wbs entitled to aliving, so he ia now aiding the storage com-pany In meeting their ends. I entertain nodoubt that be will be a sufferer of the dread-ed disease In the near future.For the benefit of all, from a financial

standpoint, let up hone the circus fever hasa long and successful year, with plenty ofvictims.

+ «»HAROLD ROSBITER NOTES.

Haynes, Sleight and Dennlson, in theirsketch, "The Campus Dream," are using acorking good song from the catalogue ofHarold: Rosslter, entitled "Down In MelodyLane."

Carlta Day, doing "The Dance With tbeDummy," Is using a now Rosslter song, en-titled ''Come With Mo to Spooney Land.

'

Bogart nod Nelson are "cleaning up" witha new song, written by Qeorgo Morlarlty,entitled "Remember Me to My Old Gal."The Three Lyres, playing the Orpheum cir-

cuit, have added a new song to their act, andreport that it Is a hit with them. The num-ber is "Remember Me to My Old Gal."

.J. A. FOB9TI2R MUSIC CO. NOTES.The Misses Byan and Kollen hare Improved their

act a great deal by using "At the Ragtime Hull."Kennedy and Stangley Sisters are introducing

over the Sullivan A Oonildlne circuit "At the Itag-

tlme Ball," snd "Garland of Old Fashionedlionet," with great success.

Hogeltara Sottro, the Jtpaneae equilibrist. Is

using "Dream of the Fairies Walls" In his act,and Is making a bit, as the music Just suits hiswork.

Grace Dconuore is singing "At the RagtimeBall" with great success.

Flo Collier is singing "At the Ragtime ball,"and "Dee, But It's Great To Be Lored."

Morton and Bryan are using "Onrlunrt of OldFashioned Roses," and "At tbe Ragtime Ball,"and are making a big hit.

George Jackson, formerly of the Empire Trio. Isscoring tremendously with "At tho Ragtime Ball,"down South.

Beck and Preston are meeting with success Intheir rendition of "At the Ragtime Ball." sadtheir report that It bas outdistanced anythingthst they have ever used. Miss Preston, who Isalso using "Garland of Old Fashioned Rosea," de-clares It the most effective ballad she has everused,

Fred Elliott, with his musical conception, "TheMusical Broom." Is featuring "Garland of OldFashioned Roses," and meeting with unqualifiedauccets.

The College Olty Quartette have added to theirrepertoire "Ragtime Ball," and claim that It Isgoing to be one big bit.

The Three Southern Rotes ate using "Garlandof Old Fashioned Roses" around Chicago, andthen Is nothing to be said regarding the way theynut the song over. One night last week theytook nine encores with the song.

THE ENGLISH SHOW SHOP,

BI FBBD "EQUES" VJlBTIN.

A show shop Is generally an empty prem-ises situated in some busy thoroughfare,where you can view a freak or peculiar per-formance tor one penny—two cents. Some-times twopence Is charged for admission.Covering the window tram floor to celling

Is a large, typically English show painting Inoils, fixed In two split rollers. On the can-vas Is portrayed an exaggerated likeness ofthe wonder within, surrounded by all thecrowned heads of Europe who, forgetting thedignity of their soclnl position, are llteral'yfighting to shake hands with It Around thethrone on which the vagary Is seated arepictured a number of old gentlemen withlong hair and white whiskers, holdingwatches In their hands. They are doctors.All show painting doctors have long hair,white whiskers and watches in their lunula.Why this Is so I cannot lay. Perhaps theyare gambling on how long It will be beforethe regal auditors are plunged Into an Inter-national fiasco over first right to shake handswith the "penny show star."

In the window of the shop are large cardsbearing such untruths at "Engaged at anEnormous Salary," "Money Returned If NotSatisfied." "Doctors Speclnlly Invited, Free,""From the World's Fair, Chicago."

Dozens of these1 shop showmen are Igno-rant of Chicago's location, but they knowthere was a "World's Fair" there once, andare very proud of It. In fact, the Englishbowman Is very proud of America alto-gether, and many talk with a liome-grownnasal twang that Is as strong as an Eastwind when they commence to talk with you,but It wears oil during tho course of the con-versation.At the door sounds a seedy looking Indi-

vidual with a piece of cane In his band forIntroduction to small boys who pass criticalremarke on the show. He Is known aa a"dooreman" to bis employor, but prefers toDescribe himself as a ''lecturer." He has aline air of patronage and finality, and ad-dresses his auditors as "People."

Almost every "doorsman" hss the samespell, which runs something like tble: "For-ward, people, no waiting, one penny admitsall classes. A sight for a lifetime, must beseen to be believed. If not as represented,jour money returned with the same freedomand civility as we take It at the door. Hurryup If thero are any more. On view the mo-went you enter, we don't wait for large par-ties to assemble before 'commencIn".'rThen Pomponlous Demosthenes will strike

the door, whistle, or shout to a gentleman In-side behind the painting, who will proceed togrind tabloids ol "Hiawatha." "Bill Baileys"or some other impious musical monstrosityout of an asthmaflcaJ piano-organ.No matter wherever you encounter the shop

show "doorsman," or whatever attraction heis engaged with, his tale Is the some. ForMs services he receives the princely remuner-ation of £1 (15) per weak, which Is payableIn nightly Instalments.

Beside the painting sits the boss of the"hop, taking money. The "doorsman" doesnot handle tile takings, but he counts everyperson that enters, as he Is Invariably em-ployed by the "novelty," who Is In manycases engaged on sharing terms. Inside theshop, perched on a large packing case thatis covered with a cloth, and perhaps addi-tionally decorated with a bilious lookingUnion Jack flag, alts the freak, reading, untilthe gentleman at the door deems the audi-ence ]«thln large enough for him to "lecture"to. Then, with swaggering gait, he walksdown the shop to where the crowd has gath>ered round the freak, and begins: "How,

rsople, If you'll stand a little further back.II Introduce this wonderful sight to you.

Then the freak beams at the audience, whilethe doorsman proceeds to show off its pe-culiarity, and records a short account of bisor her life, concluding with, "Now, people,for those of you who would like to knowmore about the life of this wonderful freakof nature, a little book 'as been written,glvln' you the 'lstory from birth to the pres-

ent day. On the front la a picture takenfrom a photo. The price of the work is •copper coin, a penny. Every purchaser Is al-

lowed the privilege of shaking 'ands withthe wonder." when the audience la sup-

flled with the hook, he announces, "All overhis time, thanking yon for your kind and

polite attention. Trusting you will recom-mend it to your friends as you 'ave foundlb—a truthful and a 'oneit one. The lady(or gentleman) will now wish you one and all

good-night" "Good-night and thank youone ana all," squeaks the wonder. The boas,

who is still Insfde the doorway, hearing thatthe show Is concluded, addresses the young-sters round the door something In this style,

"Git back there, you boys: 'ow many moretimes am I ter tell you} D'yer think I'm a'hicc' cream merchant an* goUt' ter give

tasters away—nip orf I"

The dooreman giving the organ gentlemana signal to resume, rushes to the door with

"Now they're Just comln* out. Enquire the

character of the exhibition as they retire

from the blldln'.

When the audience bas vacated the shophe recommences his first oration, and so onuntil closing time.

There are no agencies for freaks In Eng-land at present, though the late Count Ortoff

controlled one some ycurs ago in Liverpool.

About the same time, one was opened in

London, but shortly after Its Inception provedItself an unprofitable undertaking.

Salaries range between fifty shillings (twelve

dollars) and four pounds (twenty dollars)

per week. In many instances, the "novelty"

—as shop shows ars generally termed—canheve the preference oil a salary or a nnlf

share of the takings at the door. When on

sharing terms, the rent of the piano-organ,

and several other minor expenses have to be

divided with the proprietor of the shop. Thereceipts of a show Shop largely depend on Its

location. Some streets that a stranger wouldconsider Ideal for such a buBlnees. wouldprove utterly useless. The Jews are good sup-

porters of a show, and. as a sequence, they

fcavo had almost every novelty In the country

in Whltechapel, the Jewish quarter of Lon-don.

The "shopping season" Is at Its best in theWinter because then the people confine them-selves to the brilliantly lighted thoroughfaresof the city, -while during the two Bummermonths they go out into the parks and coun-try walk* located on the outskirts.

Business does not commence until seveno'clock In the evening, and concludes abouthalf-past ten. On Saturdays they commenceat one o'clock, and remain open as long asaudiences continue to come. There Is nosuch thing as a license required for a shopshow, and this method of exhibition has beenfreely adopted by showmen until It has bo-come quite an Important factor of the showbusiness of England. In bygone years It hasproved the theme of many fortunes, In fact,to-day It la the principal, I might say, onlymethod of exhibiting freaks. There Is noside-show attached to the English circuses, theproprietors being of the opinion that such anaddition would prove detrimental to the re-ceipts of the circus proper.

It is not every novelty that has strong,attractive powers ; different classes of freaksattract different auditors. Midgets will bringwomen and boys Pat girls, which are Invaria-bly exhibited as "Norfolk Dairymaids." aredecidedly a masculine magnet Tho "kle," orwild man show, produces audiences of menand boys. But with all these shop shows busi-ness could be Immensely Increased If the pro-prietor woud engage a fluent outside speaKer.The everlasting banality of the English"doorsman" of course has nothing in It toarouse the attention of the people.

Shops have now become very difficult toncure owing to the practices of unscrupu-

i showmen, who shatter the prospects atthe business In the following mannor.A shop to let In n good locality is sighted

by one of these gentry, who proceeds to theestate agent's office to Inquire the rent Hewill pose as a merchant who Is desirous ofopening a business In the district, andeventually take the shop for three months,paying one Installment of the rent for thatperiod, which entitles him to the key. Hisnext move Is to put In a "kle" show, whichalways has a disastrous effect on the futureletting of the shop and the business of theadjoining premises. This brings the estateagent round, who Immediately gives theshowman notice to quit The showman ig-

nores this and offers the agent his nextweek's rent, which, In the Just nlcntltude ofhis Indignation, he refuses. The showman

THE NEW DUSIIWICK THEATRE, BROOKLYN, N. Y.

With the opening of the new Bushwlck Theatre early In September, Percy 0. Williams

not only added one more theatre to bis popular ehalD of •vaudeville housca, but Brooklyngained one of the moat handsome amusement structures In the country. Situated at Broad-

way and Howard Avenue, the new edifice Is directly in the centre of the rapidly growingBushwlck section, and within easy access from all surface and elevated lines.

The main entrance is circular In design and situated directly la the triangle formed by

Broadway and Howard Avenue. The stage entrance Is on Madison Street The dimensionsof the new playhouse Include 132 feet on Broadway, 200 feet on Howard Avenue, and 110feet on Madison Street There is & 14 foot exit court on the Broadway side, 00 feet In

length, thus making the building open on all sides and thoroughly easy of egress. In addition

to this feature, which alone makes the new Bushwlck one of the most fireproof of theatres,

there are twenty-five separate and distinct exits. The building Is two, three and four stories

high, and constructed of brick, granite, limestone, marble, steel and concrete, with terra

cotta and galvanized Iron cornice and ornaments.The seating capacity of 2,r>00 makes the new Bushwlck one of the largest vaudeville

theatres In the world, in addition to the parquet, balcony and gallery, there are prosceniumboxes with a total capacity of 200. The front of the balcony Is graced by eleven smokingboxes with an Individual seating capacity of eight persons, or a total of eighty-eight. Bothon the lower and balcony floors are large promenades with ladles' retiring parlors anddressing rooms. The gentlemen's smoking room In the bnsement Is elaborately furnishedand possesses every comfort and luxury.

The theatre is particularly brilliant Inside and out. The huge ornamental dome at the

main entrance Is unusually illuminated nt night, enclosing a marble and tile lobby andvestibule of gorgeous design. The style of Interior decorating Is very elaborate, the pre-

vailing color scheme of turkey red and gold leaf lending a warmth and luxurious appearance.

The exterior of the building 1* Grecian, making the entire building one of attraction

and grandeur.The beating system, both In the main auditorium and on the stage, guarantees an even

temperature at all times, while an auxiliary fire protection embraces roof tanks, electric

tumps and suction tanks, stand-pipes, hose and reels on every tier, and cmergeny apparatusn convenient locations throughout the entire building.

The stage of the new Bushwlck is of the plan and furnishings peculiar to alt of thePercy 0. Williams theatres, both la Brooklyn and Manhattan, with four tiers of dressingrooms, metal shelves and wire glass windows to each room, with strictly fireproof equip-

ment. In addition to the dressing rooms, there Is a large apartment for quartering the

various animals taking part In the different acts. The stage dimensions arc 30 feet fromthe curtain line to back wall, with a proscenium opening 30 feet In height. The width of

the stage from wall to wall Is 80 feet, making It one of the largest vaudeville stages In thecountry.

The Bushwlck Theatre has been erected nt a cost of $225,000, and Is a magnificent tes-

timonial to the energy and aggressiveness of Mr. Williams. The programs ore changedweekly and the offerings are of the same excellence as those which characterize all of

tbe playhouses on the popular Williams circuit.

INCIDENT OF EARLY DAYS.

OLD SHOWMAN TELLS OF SLAUGH-TER IN BOWIE COUNTY, TEXAS.

?,

J. N. Rontfrow, owner of the show nowplaying In tbe city, was formerly a circus

acrobat, and traveled In Texas In the dayswhen there were no railroads and everybodycarried a gun.Those days Just after the Civil War wero

•tormy ones throughout tbe South, whosebleeding, broken remnants of ragged regi-

ments were passing through the reconstruc-tion period and, gasping for breath, they lay

helpless, with the Iron heel of the conqueroron tbelr necks, end the tentacles of the car-

pet-baggers and scalawags mercilessly suckingthe small sustenance they were able to ekefrom crippled commerce and the blood-soakedsoil.

During this period, about the middle of

November, 180T, J. N. Bcntfrow, proprietor

•f Ren tfrow's Pathfinders, made his first

tntry into Texas, la tbe amusement business.

H« was with Orton Bros.' Circus, in the ca-

xelty of acrobat and gymnast. They gaveheir initial performance In Texas at Boston,Bowie County.Tbe little frontier town was full of stran-

Sera, even to those who lived there. In thoseays there were many desperadoes and or-

Knlied bands of bandits. It was apparentat there were Buch men among those who

swaggered about In careless abandon, drink-

ing freely and endangering the limbs andlives of pedestrians. They wero very bolster-

Ma, riding down those who were not quick

enough to get out of their way, riding uponporches, into stores, and otherwise acting

as If they were daringly reckless of conse-quences.During the afternoon performance It was

all the show people could do to avoid a row•n account of the liberties taken. The menentered the dressing rooms, went into the

ring, and did other things calculated to

arouse Indignation and Just anger.

After the performance concluded the banditsgathered at a houso on the edge of town andconcocted n plan to rob the show the nextmorning as they proceeded en roufa to their

next town. But, as Is often the case, boozegot the best of them, and their well laid

plan went astray. This fact alono saved tho

circus from an ambush that would have beeneminently successful, for the circus peoplecould not have defended themselves against

the twenty-five men who composed the gangof desperadoes.Tbcy went to the night performance. Tnd

there declared themselves members of CullenBaker's gang, and, If necessary, they could

get enough men together In a short time to

whip the entire town.They talked too much, and that was an-

other serious mistake. Tbcy left tbe canvasduring the performance, in a very abort

time a citizen Informed tho doorkeeper that

the bandits were mounting their horses andIntended to ride Into the tent at the main•n trance, perhaps Indulging In reckless shoot-

ing. Orders were given by the managementto Immediately, upon tbelr entrance, to dropthe side walls. In a few minutes they enmeat a gallop, twenty-live strong, noisy, hi-

larious, threatening. The side walls weredropiwd nt oiieo. and the audience wentthrough the cents ns one man. and soonlanttered In all directions, hunting a place

of safety. Among the audience there werethirteen soldiers, in charge of the Bureauagency. They went to the barracks as rap-Idly as possible, secured their rifles, and re-

turned to the tent Just as Tom Duke, theleader of the gang, shot one of the Ortonboys, who had returned to the bandstand for

n musical Instrument. This was tbe cue for

the soldiers, and they opened Are upon theoutlaws. When the smoke of battle clearedaway, eleven of the reckless cutthroats lay

dead. Two others were captured by citizens.

Tbe show people got the credit of "cleaningout'' this dangerous gang that bad so longterrorized that part of Texas, and nowhereelse were they molested.

This was the biggest circus fight that everoccurred In the United States, but the ac-counts of it were never heard of, as In thosedays there were no rallroadB or telegraphstations In Texas.The company at that time consisted of tbe

following members : Hiram Orton, proprietor

:

tbe Orton Bros. (Miles, Den, Lester andArge), riders, gymnasts and acrobats; An-drew Gafncy, cannon Imll performer ; La-mour Bros. (Newton and William), horizontalbar performers, lcapers and tumblers: Billy

Andrews, principal clown : Mat Hosmer, ringmaster; Orton Sisters (Irene and Celeste),

riders, and Leon and Jessie Orton, slack wireartists. The company carried a female brassband, nnd the side show was run by W. W.Cole, who afterwards conducted W. W. Cole's

Colossal Shows, and is to-day retired In NewYork City, very wealthy. All the other mem-bers of the above company have passed awayexcept It. Z. and Lester Orton, who are at

present In Adel, la., In tho hardware busi-

ness, and the wrltor of this article, J. N.Itcntfrow.

THE CIRCUS ADJUSTER,

BT CHARLES AXDJ1ESS.

The moving pic-

ture companies ofAmerica, are a na-tional Institution,and have come tostay for all time,and yet they areonly in their in-

fancy. The rapidstrides tbe film hasmade since Its in-

ception are remark-able, and It Is notyet twenty yearsngo since Londonsow the first mov-ing picture at theUmpire, LeicesterSquare. Of coursethe pictures exhlb-1 1 ed then weresmall and not to be

compared with the life-sized figures of to day.A very able article appeared In this Journalsome time back comparing the American pan-tomUnlsts with the b'rench and Italian. I

absolutely endorse everything my confreresaid in that article. The Latin races areborn pnntomlmlsts, but a great change hascome over the scene. Tbe American andKngllsh speaking people want natural gestic-ulation, and the art of acting is to he nat-ural, so to-day we are getting clean comedynnd drama. The slapstick and the monkeynntics of the last decade are fast disappear-ing, and instead of the foreign film being Indemand it is the American article that isIn use In every country under the sun.The time is not far distant when stars of

the first magnitude will pose and star In

Sorts made popular by them, and why not!<o actor, be he great or small, should look

down upon the film actor. There are hun-dreds of idle Thespians only too glad toget that five dollar hill daily, especiallyin these days when theatrical engagement!are so difficult to obtain. Most of the bigcompanies have their stock company, con-sisting of twenty or more capable people,who receive good salaries for fifty-two weeksin tho year. These companies have severalstage directors, many of whom are capableof staging the elaborate productions seen onthe stages of the Broadway theatres. Thesegentlemen not only tell and show the actorstage business, but they also teach them howto utilize their facial muscles. The stage car-penter In these companies must be a mastercraftsman, and what he doesn't know aboutbuilding up scenes at short notice Is notworth knowing. Then they have their propcrty men. Coupled with a large wardrobefor the nctor'B use, grease paints, powder,cosmetics; in fact, everything appertain-ing to an actor's art of make-up Is at hisdisposal, free of cost. Should the actor beemployed all day his meals are prepared forMm gratuitously nnd served In the studio.To sec a director marshaling bis forces withthe megaphone Is something to remember.Of course, the director likes best to have thenetnr of experience instead of the lay figureof the dcadwood type, but at times he Is com-pelled to take the outsider for a special typethat be needs. A short rehearsal takes placeprior to taking tha picture. When all is inreadiness the camera docs the rest, and It

surely does not lie. The studios arc brilliantlyIlluminated with nil the latest Improvementsthat the human brain can Invent. An actnrmay piny nightly, say before one thousandpeople, but the moving picture actor, per-haps tho BUM night. Is playiag to a hun-dred thousand, from Maine to California, tothe Antipodes, (he Orient, and Europethrown In. so the picture actor becomes popu-lar the whole world over.

The name or title of adjuster was never

applied or attached to anyone In show busi-

ness until Blngllng Bros, published their

first route book, and at that time I was tak-

ing care of their troubles, and All T., who

was compiling the book, did not like the

name of "Fixer" to appear In the official

staff, as the title "Flier" in circus parlance

with all other shows, dating as far back as

we have any record of the American circus,

was applied to tbe one who fixed the license

and incidentally "fixed" the officials for graft,

and nearly every show carried one until

Itlngllng Bros, entered the circus field. Thusit Is plain to be seen why Alf. T. enrolled meas "Legal Adjuster," and I have the dis-

tinction of being the first under the newtitle of adjuster, but the next season all theshows had an adjuster; there were no more"Fixers."

In the forty-five years of my "ups anddowns" of show "life, I have filled almostevery position In theatrical and circus busi-

ness, from carrying a little show from townto town, when a boy of twelve, consisting ofa few little tricks of magic and ventrllo-?ulsm, and an old fiddle on which I playedor a dance after the show, to owning and

conducting a two-ring circus.

About twenty-five years ago I disposed ofall my business and Joined the SinglingBros., and most of my time until my retire-

ment, four years ago, was with them andthe Barnum & Bailey Show, as legal adjuster.Therefore I can speak from experience jrhenI say that an adjuster with any of the bigshows, If he applies himself diligently to hisduties, and is fully capable of protecting theshow's interests, has more responsibility thanany paid position In the business, and each,succeeding year requires more tact and ex-ecutive ability to cope with the growing de-mand and exacting requirements of tbe dif-ferent States and cities.

The time was when It did not take anygreat "filing" to pave the way for the circus.A little clever talk, a few stories, seasonedup with a few tickets (in circus slang called"boards," "pasteboards," "duckets," etc.), andsometimes a little money (in slang called"blunt," "doe," "long green," etc.), was allthat was required. But year by year tieState, county and city officials became moreexacting and the laws became more stringent,excessive, so changed and augmented thatthere were few loopholes by which to findan escape, and the circus of to-day is con-sidered by a big majority to be legitimateprey for shakedowns and extortion, and theystudy every means and take advantage ofevery technicality to extort, and to giveeven a brief description of the many low.cunning and unlawful schemes that some ofthe unprincipled people resort to to extortmoney from the circus, would take morespace than this article would permit 8o theadjuster, In order to keep abreast of thetimes, must Invent new schemes and preseutnew arguments, and bring to bear an un-expected leverage, for they have been "dopedso much with circus arguments that theyare very near 'fixproof.''' Of course, thisdoes not apply to all cities or to all Indi-viduals who have dealings with the circus(thank kind Providence for the poor ad-juster's sake). There are Borne exceptions,where the cirrus people are considered hu-man and get a square deal.Thero are very few, even Including the

owners, managers, etc., of the circus, Thofully realize to the full extent the cares andresponsibility that rcBt upon the adjuster.The usual routine of the adjuster, which,

of course, varies somewhat each day, as, forinstance, some States have no State licenseand only a nominal license In a big majorityof the cities, while other States have Statelicense, county license, levy license, schoollicense and city license, and It varies fromno license to $2,500 per day. The adjusterrises early In the morning, goes to town andstarts by adjusting the licenses. If he canpresent such an argument which carries suf-fli'Iont conviction with It, he will succeed Ingetting a liberal concession and still hold thegood will of nil concerned. Perhaps wherethe law prescribes, say $200 for each per-formance, and $50 for each side show and

concert, and $10 for each candy stand, whichwould amount In a total to say $500, now,Mr. Adjuster starts In to explain to Ills

Honor the Mayor or license committee, or

whoever he Is obliged to see, and after explain-

ing at length that such a license Is pro-

hibitive, and that many cities are glad to

have the circus come to draw a big crowdfor the merchants, and bring to their very

doors an amusement that represents millions

Invested, an army of over 1,000 people, and

a school In natural history for the rising

generation, and all given for fifty cents, the

same as a lecturer or small dramatic com-

pany would charge, etc After sweating

blood and almost shedding tears with an ar-

gument hard to Ignore, you are told that tbe

law Is plain and that they have no right to

deviate from It. and, much as they would

like to make It less, they can't see any way.

So now It Is up to Mr. Adjuster to showthem the plain way, which all other cities

have conceded. For Instance, In the above

case, where the license Is $200 for each per-

formance, we convince tbem that ours Is one

continuous performance. After this Is ar-

ranged the adjuster says the show has not

paid n side show or concert license for years,

for this Is my excuse to give the officials

some tickets.

When the Uccnse Is finally Issued as one

continuous performance, including side shows.

then comes another contest to save all the

tickets possible by setting forth the fact that

the show's only revenue la the sale of tickets,

etc., and finally figure up with, say the

mayor, for the number of tickets required,

cutting the number to less than half which

would be required If you tried to distribute

them to the different officials yourself. Then

give him the tickets, take your license and

"sneak." Xou will always find a big mobwaiting along the line, hut yon tell themthe mayor has the tickets.By this time the parade is on the street,

and the adjuster ahould be on the watch for

accidents, such as runaways, damage to saaoe

trees, etc. If all these can be adjusted on

Mr. Adjuster now goes to the show grounds

and Is liable to find a lot of troubles to be

"fixed," something like this: Some of the

wagons passed over some one's lawn ;lour

men posted bills on my barn without con-

sent /' "My little boy or girl Is missing from

some town, and I think he or she Is wm.the show." Ucre Is a note from the mayor

.

"Mr. Andreas—The tickets yon gave would

not go around; please send about fifty more

or I will mobbed." Of course, I send tbcu.

for this not only obligates him a little more

on holding the license good, but Is nt least

one hundred tickets less than I could possim>

get away with bad I tried to distribute them

to the Individuals. ,, .

EDISON'S PLACE IN THE MOVINGPICTURE ART.

EV FHANK L. DYEB.

(President and General Counsel of Thomas A.

Edison, Inc.)

It Is a curious fact In connection with mostgreat Inventions, almost without exception,that prior to their actual accomplishmenttheir possibility has been predicted by In-genious speculators of the Jules Verne andR. O. Wells type. Just as there are manyof us who have no difficulty In Imagining anIdeal social condition, while the accomplish-ment of any radical socialistic reform Involvesthe highest order of genius, so in the fieldof science and Invention there appear to bemany men who can foretell what ought to bedone In the arts, although there are very fewwho actually accomplish the predicted result.Long before the Invention of the telephone

the possibility of transmitting speech elec-trically had been foretold, and not only so,but, strange to say, almoat the exact modeof accomplishment was predicted.The possibility of lighting by Incandescence

was known long before Edison's actual reali-zation of the modern art; the electric tele-

graph was suggested many years before thework of Morse: the modern submarine findsIts prototype In the famous "Nautilus" ofour boyhood, and more than two hundredyears ago Cyrano de Bergerac, In his Imagi-native account of a visit to the moon andsun, foretold all the possibilities of themodern phonograph.The moving picture art Is no exception In

this respect. The phenomena concerning per-sistence of vision were well known over ahundred years ago. The possibility of pro-ducing the semblance of animate notion bymeans of toys of the aoetrope type was clearlyunderstood. The fact that the pictures neces-sary for the Illusion might be obtained photo-graphically was also realized.Many of tho early inventors and dreamers

were undoubtedly handicapped by defects inphotographic processes, necessitating the useof fugitive wet plates requiring long exposure.But before Mr. Edison's advent In the field,

about the year 1888, or possibly earlier,

modern instantaneous photography had beenvery completely developed. In fact, the workof Muybrldge, In the photography of men andanimals In motion, has not been excelled Inbeauty and perfection of detail by any modernphotographer. Professor Marey also had ob-tained exquisite photographs of flying birds,as well as other examples of animate move-ment, by means of which an analysis of suchmovement was obtained, and In one or twoinstances these movements were reproducedsynthetically In apparatus of the xoetrope.

All of th's was, nowever, from tie modernpoint of view, crude and Ineffective, necessi-tating more a vivid Imagination than the pro-duction of an Illusion which appealed directlyto the sense of sight. Obviously, with thezoetrope at hand together with lta numerousmodifications, Including apparatus for actuallyprojecting a picture on a screen, the perfec-tion of an exhibition device required more thework of the skilled mechanic than the In-ventor. Even with the problem of Instantane-ous photography solved, and with the ulti-mate possibility of obtaining moving picturesby photography clearly understood, the solu-tion of the difficulties Involved the construc-tion of a camera by means of which thenecessarily large number of Instantaneouspictures per second could be obtained.An examination of the literature of the

art shows that this was the problem to whichthe various Inventors primarily addressedthemselves. Some of the early workers sug-gested the employment of glass plates, and

Marey actually succeeded In obtaining aseries of twelve photographs of a Hying birdin this way ; but the use of plates would beobviously Impossible In any practical ap-paratus when we consider that nine hundredplates or more would be required per minute.

Other Inventors suggested flexible bands orbelts, carrying plates or sections of sensitizedpaper, and In some Instances coated directly

with a sensitized surface. But In every In-

stance the difficulties encountered were In se-

curing an enormous number of sharp Impres-sions In practically an Instant of time.

Numerous suggestions, some of them veryIngenious, were made for accomplishing this

result. For Instance, In one case the sensi-

tized surface was moved continuously and aseries of lenses traveling at the same speedwere moved behind the sight opening, so

that the Image remained—and here was the

difficulty

—

praeUoallu stationary. In anothercase, during the period of exposure, a Blnglc

lens was moved In the direction of the film

so as to keep the Image stationary, the lens

being moved In the opposite direction duringthe period of non-exposure, but such an ap-

paratus was not suited for rapid work. Instill another case sixteen lenses were used

with two films, one of which was movedduring the successive exposures of eight of

the lenses, but such an apparatus, In addi-

tion to necessitating the cutting up and re-

arrangement of each picture, was open to the

ootlcal objection that the pictures were not

all taken from the same point of view, asobserved by the eye.

Mr. Edison In his first work endeavored to

solve the problem by making the pictures

microscopic, so that the necessary movementsof the surface would be very slight. Is It

not remarkable with our present knowledge,

that during the fifty years or more that the

possibility of obtaining motion pictures wasappreciated, no Inventor was courageous

enough to even suggest, much less than to

attempt, to secure the pictures on a single

film with a single lens, holding the film sta-

tionary during the moments of exposure, andmoving It forward during the periods of non-

exposure? Simple as It now seems, It was a

bold conception on Mr. Edison's part that

photographs in this way could bo secured at

rates between fifteen and forty per second.

The birth of the modern moving picture

art may be said to date from the Summer of

1880, at which time Mr. Edison had con-

structed a camera possessing all the attri-

butes of th» perfected apparatus, and bymeans of which he was enabled to secure ona continuous celluloid film forty-six pictures

per second sharp In detail and each one Inch

in width and substantially three-quarters of

nn Inch In height. The first camera thus con-

structed Is still in existence, and except for

Its size, being affectionately referred to as the

"dog-bouse," It is as good and as perfect a

device for its purpose as any camera that

may now lie built. It uses a sprocket feed,

engaging two rows of perforations In thesides of the film, It has two retorts for con-

taining two unexposed films and for receiving

the exposed film, and In all other respects is

a fully developed apparatus.Mr. Edison made application for his patent

on Aug. 24, 1801, and the patent was Issued

on Aug. 31, 1807. As a result of litigation,

It was found that the patent was too brond,

numerous prior descriptions of which Mr.Edison knew nothing, but of which the lawpresumed he should lave known everything,

not having been cited by the ratont Office.

Consequently to correct the error tho potent

was re-Issued on Sept 30, 1002., ^ .. „.

This patent ha3 been sustained by the Cir-

cuit Court of Appeals In New York In litiga-

tion, with which everyone lu the business Is

familiar. „ _., ,

As a result of that litigation, Mr. Edison s

position In the moving picture art has been

Judicially determined. He was the first, ac-cording to the decision, to make a motionpicture camera using a single lens and witha single film, wherein the Sim Is brought torest and so maintained during such expo-sure, and Is moved forward during eachperiod of non-exposure, the movements beingsufficiently rapid to secure the desired num-ber of photographs per second, and themechanism being of such a character thatthe photographs shall be uniform aad sharp,and shall not require cutting up and re-

arrangement prior to printing.Until Aug. 31, 1011, at least as the de-

cision of the New York Circuit Court of Ap-peals Is Interpreted, no one can make acamera having these features without em-bodying Mr. Edison's Invention, and In In-

fringement of his patent. Possibly inventorsmay succeed in producing forms of apparatusla which continuously moving films or a con-siderable number of lenses or a plurality offilms may be used which could not be fairly

said to embody the Edison Invention, But It

Is sufficient to say that no such device hasso far been constructed, and we must waituntil It appears before we can say that It

does or docs not Invade the right secured bythe Edison patent.

GEORGE K. SPOOR.George IC Spoor, the founder and president

of the Geo. K. Spoor Co. and the EssanayFilm Manufacturing Co., was bora In High-land Park, 111., In 1871. Although he did notstart out In life In the moving picture busi-

ness, as a boy he bad natural Inclinations

and Ideas which pointed In that direction,notwithstanding his unconsciousness of thefact.

Once while turning cart wheels in ameadow near his home, the thought came tohim If It would not be possible to get picturesof himself as he performed the boyish stunt—pictures tbat would show his movementthroughout, and not a photograph that wouldshow merely his posture In one position. TheIdea came like a flash, and was not recalleduntil many years later, when he became ac-

'

qualnted with E. H. Amct, who Invented themagnlscope.

Mr. Spoor first actively engaged In thetheatrical business, and nt the age of twenty-two leased the Opera House at Waukegan,III., In which he played traveling combina-tions for four years rnd proved a successfulmanager. It was while managing this thea-tre that he met Mr. Amct, who resided inWaukegan. In 1800 he became a partner ofMr. Amct, furnishing him financial aid Inthe completion of the magnlscope.

In 1807 Mr. Spoor severed his theatricalconnections and took up moving pictures asa specialty, working in connection with hispartner, Mr. Amet. ills associations withthe latter terminated In 1608, wren be en-gaged on his own account to piaci machinesand pictures in vaudeville bouses and parksand traveling organizations. This was thebeginning of what developed later Into theklnodrome service, which now ramifies theentire country.The klnodrome was built by D. J. Bell and

was secured by Mr. Spoor In 1800. It wasso rapidly placed In vaudeville houses through-out the country that the manufacture of themachine could not keep pace with the demand.

One of (he most widely known men in (hemoving plcttiro Industry Is the veteran pro-ducer of moving picture films and manu-facturer of moving picture machines, S.

I.ubln, president and active head of the f.ubln

Manufacturing Co. The Lubln Co.'s largenow studios, Twentieth Street and IndianaAvenue. Philadelphia Pa., are the result ofMr. Lubtn's years of study of the practical re-

quirements of the business from every stand-point, and are In themselves an achievementto be proud of, they possessing unequalcdphotographic and mechanical acpartmentscomplete In every dotnil of equipment.Mr. Lubln was In the optical business for

many years In Philadelphia, and took a greatInterest in the moving picture Industry fromIts very Btnrt. He built a moving picturemachine for himself In 1806, and the first

Elcture be tcok was that of a horst eatingay, which was followed shortly by a picture

of an express train going at full speed. Thiswas considered a wonderful film at that time.In 1808 be took pictures representing theSpanish-American war, for which, of course,there was a great demand.

Mr. I.ubln underwent many trials and set-backs In those early days, but, believing Inthe great future of the business, he per-severed, meeting every exigency which arosewith his characteristic business acumen.

Aside from the commercial end of the busi-ness Mr. Lubln has been for a long time In-terested In the showing of scientific subjects,and has expended considerable time andmoney In this field, especially In tho Interestof the medical fraternity.

Mr. Lubln believes that largo as the busi-ness has grown. It has before It a vast de-velopment In the continued entertaining andeducating of tho world at large.

J. A. BERST.Everybody la the motion picture business -

la America, no matter how remotely his con-nections may be, knows J. A. fierst, theAmerican representative of Patho Frcres. Tobegin at the beginning of the necessarilybrief sketch, It should be said that be wasborn In Paris In 187S, and entered tho sellingdepartment of Pathe Frercs In the year 1805.Through sheer ability he won the responsibleposition of American representative, which heassumed In 1004.At that time the motion picture business

was Jimt beginning to be a real business Inthe United States. The present methods ofhandling film were unknown, and the "nickel-odeon" nad not yet happened. Films weresold to traveling showmen and to one or tworenters. In those days the American productwas comparatively small, and the Paths pic-tures were the standard of excellence aswell as the only dependable supply. Here It

was that the faith of Mr. Herat In the futureof the business enabled him to play so Im-portant a part In tho development of thatbusiness In Amerlcn. Ills liberal policy per-mitted the establlihmcnt of numerous rentalexchanges, and to the unlimited supply ofsplendid pictures at his command was main-ly due the phenomenal development of the ex-hibit Ion business In this country.More recent developments In the picture

business, and the Important part Mr. Berstplayed in them, are familiar to all. Ills co-operation made possible the formation of theMotion Picture Patents Co., and the splendidresults achieved owe considerable to his abilityand foresight.

Mr. Berst was quick to realize the world-wide demand for American pictures, and it

was through his ndvlco that Pathe Frcres be-come established In tho United States. In11)07 the American Corporation was formedwith a capital of $1,000,000, and Mr, Berstwas elected vice president, treasurer and gen-eral manager thereof. The factory at BoundIlrook, N, J„ wns purchased and equippedduring the same year, and In 1010 the studiowas commenced.Mr. Herat also holds the position of treas-

urer of the General Film Company, whichorganization has already proved wonderfullysuccessful In solving some of the most diffi-

cult problems of the picture business. Whileyoungest In point of years among the prin-

cipals of the licensed companies, Mr. Berstbus proved himself to be as wise as any ofhis associates when matters concerning mo-tion pictures are concerned, and his opinionsalways command attention.

NOT ON THE PROGRAMME,

A steady stream of richly gowned women,their escorts, and tho regulation first-nighters,

wore pouring Into the magnificently appointedfoyer. The first trill of the orchestra floateddreamily—out—out—sending a visible tremorthrough (lie form of a superbly proportionedmmturc, as she crouched In all her rich,

tawny henuty closo against the brilliantlyIlluminated pillar.

Nono seemed to know from whence she.camo.or exhibited an incllntlon to Interfere, butgazed curlosty as ihey slowly encompassedher. She glared sullenly, even scornfully, a(the glittering crowd. Pleasantly she raisedher slumberous eyss In whoso depths now ap-peared a glowing fire. The quivering melodylent Its subtle charms. The eddying crowdsurged closer. She scanned her sister womenpityingly—the men Intently. Every musclsdrawn and tense. Suddenly in officersburly form evidenced Itself. Simultaneouslythe "Lion" of tho evening—tbe playwright—appeared, suave, smiling, faultlessly at-tired.

Instinctively he glanced toward this ex-traordinary obstruction. Then recoiled aslils eyes encountered the blazing orbs levellednt him. With a leap she sovercd the distancebetween them and confronting him, threwback her wrap, revealing a tiny Infant nest-ling close against bar bosom.

With a dangerous calmness she began,"You. you dared to stipulate?'* "My goodgirl I" expostulated the discomfited author."Nlloncfl ! she commanded, her voice vibrat-ing with fury. "I assure you," murmuredthe playwright, but the girl rod disappeared."We manage these affairs better," laughed anamused Frenchman, hastily claiming his scat."A deml-god In spots," chuckled another. Aburst of melody—of thunderous applause—and the play began.

BURLESQUE.

BY LOUIS BOBIE.

"Burlesque, In theexact meaning ofthe word, exists nolongeron the stage,"says Louis Roble,the veteran mana-ger, who owns theKnickerbockers. "ItIs many, many yearssince a real bur-lesque, meaning atravesty upon somoother entertainmentor upon the hap-penings of the day,was shown withany company. Aburlesque show, asIt wbb understoodtwenty years ago,meant the satiriz-

ing of some legiti-mate entertainment that had been scoring a

Popular success, and the burlesque actors ofhat time were wonders when It came toabsurd impersonations of the stars. In re-cent seasons there have been few traves-ties of the kind. One of the best was HarryMorris' 'Trilby,' In which the Du Maurlercharacters were burlesqued In a style thatwas worth going a long way to see. Too badHarry Morris died—he was a good comedianwho could divert an audience as few ot themodern school can do.

"Just as the characters In all reliablemelodramas are the same, so the charactersin bnrlesqne began to become fixtures whenthat form ot entertainment was making earlyheadway. All well regulated melodramashave the noble though sheep-brained hero,the persecuted heroine, the aoubrctte and theheavy villain. Around these four the plotrevolves, and the other characters may varya little. If the steadfast four are in theirproper places. Thus, la burlesque, theremust always be the statuesque leading woman,the light soubrette, the Jewish comedian andthe Irish comedian. Can't get along withoutthem. Now and then you add a Germancomedian, a Bowery tough or a Wild Westgunman, but the original tour are alwayBpresent—and the audiences Insist upon them,too. And, as a rule, you will find that thecomedians of the burlesque shows are, inreal life, Just about what they impersonateupon the stage—tbe Jew Is usually a Hebrewfrom the New York Ghetto, and the IrishmanIs a genuine Mac or 0'.

"Tbe chief difference between the bur-lesque shows of to-day and the musical com-edies Ilea, as an actual fact, mainly In thecharacters represented. CnoruB numbers, en-sembles, costumes, are strikingly alike. Someof the present burlesque shows actually showmore brilliant and expensive costumes thansixty per cent, of the musical comedies. Inmusical comedy and comic opera, however,you see Turks, brigands, hussars and similarromantic characters, while your plain Irish-man and regulation Hebrew do not figure. Inburlesque, the hussars, Oriental princes andsuch characters do not happen—they wouldgive a burlesque audience severe pains andget a chilled reception.

" 'Smut,' or impropriety in words and ac-tions, has been cut out of most burlesque shows,and I hnve seen far worse stuff In severalsupposedly high class New York theatres thanon all the burlesque circuits- put togother.Experience shows that all the 'big laughs'

—

comedy scenes which get an uproarious handfrom the audiences—are absolutely clean.They may contain a lot of horseplay andgrotesque absurdity, but there Is nothing im-proper about them. Roger Imbof, whosegood old standby, 'Casey, the Piper,' seemsfitted to never die, can get more laughs out*of a bit of rough-and-tumble foolishness thanany crowd would give for the most glitteringimproprieties that were ever Imported fromabroad.

"The burlesque business Is pretty well en-trenched at present. It was damaged farless by the moving picture Invasion than sev-eral other branches of amusement, and thebest evidence of Its prosperity Is shown bythe erection of new theatres and the ex-pensive stagings now shown by almost altthe burlesque companies."

The supervision exercised by a competentBoard of Censors over the quantity andquality of the shows produced assures bur-lesque pntrons the best In that line. Butthe main Inducement to managers to producea good show la the self-evident fact, provedby experience, that the good shows and thegood houses get the good money, and that iswhat we are In the business for.

Glenn Hammond Curtlss -was born May21, 1878, at Hammondsport, N. Y. He at-tended the public schools of his boms vil-lage, and before eoupletlng hl9 education badbegun to earn a livelihood selling nowBpapers.He continued this work aiter leaving school,extending his route, end soon bought abicycle out of bis savings In order to morecasllv reach his customers, who were scat-tered over the countryside. It w«n notlong before he discovered that It Is herdwork to climb hills on a wheel, especiallywith a strap-full of papers under one arm,and ho Anally hjt upon the Irtett Of equip-ping tho bicycle with a small gaBollne mo-tor which should do the harder part of thework for bun. His success aa an aviatorreally dates back to this Idea of his boy-hood, for It was from that the developmentof the fine Curtlss motor started.He picked up a small gasoline motor and

began experiments la an Improvised shop Inhis father's back yard, to connect his motorand bicycle to, sumo practical way. AfterInnumerable attempts he Anally succeeded Inmaking a trip over the country roads, andbis success

the machine for the first time after setting It

up at ithelms. He showed such excellentcontrol and Judgment In flights that be wasnble to win out against nil competitors,bringing tbe Gordonliennett otip to America.From Ithelms be went to Brescia, Italy,

where be won the prize for the fastest flight

of fifty kilometers.Early In 1910 Curtlss made several new

records for quick starting and speed In thel/os Angeles meet, and later, at San Antonio,Tex., be established tbe present world's rec-

ord by leaving tho ground In four and one-fifth seconds from tne time of starting themotor.One of his great feats was the winning of

The New York World't prize of $10,000 bya spectacular flight from Albany to NewYork, on May 29, 1910. Besides being oneof the most difficult flights ever made up tothat time, this trip was the first long dis-

tance cross-country flight made ln America,and was the inspiration of a number of prizeoirere for city to city Journeys.

During the Winter of 1010-11, at his Win-ter training grounds at San Diego, Cal., Mr.Curtlg9 developed the famous hydro-aero-plane, the first and only machine of Its kindIn the world. Tbe hydro-aeroplane rises

on either land or water. While at San Diego,Mr. Curtlss carried with bun on severalflights three army and two naval officers,

and these passenger-currying flights wereeminently successful. The United StatesNavy now considers the hydro-aeroplane theonly practical machine for tbe use of tbeGovernment

JAMES J. WARD.Because be has the attributes of a true

blrdman, young James J. Ward, of Chicago,has been able to attain celebrity ln a fewmonths. Beginning at New Orleans last

Winter, Ward Immediately won commenda-tion. While the Curtlss aviators were at

Charleston. Jon. 6, 1911, Ward attracted, so

to speak, tbe attention of the entire country.

In a daring flight, In which was attained aheight ofTJ.800 feet, he flew across tworivers, sailed above Charleston harbor andout over tho Atlantic Ocean; returning, "bycircling two of the strongest fortifications

on the Atlantic Coast and demonstrating

the efficiency of the aeroplane In military

scouting," ward secured a prize of $6,000.

Ward was the first aviator to fly ln Cuba.

He gained prestige there, and obtained moreon bis return to the United States.

As sn aviator Ward appeals to the crowd.

He acquires Instant popularity, l'Ot only be-

cause of the quality of bU work, but also

by reason of his cheerfulness. He makeshazardous flights wltb a merry Indifference

that commands admiration. At Hastings,

Neb., last year, bis achievements evoked tre-

mendous enthusiasm.In the early part of his aerial career ward

used a light biplane having a 24 H. P.

motor. Finally, however, Ward s old favor-

ite was replaced by a new model Curtlss bi-

plane, with an eight cylinder motor that de-

veloped rather more than 60 H. P,

BBOKWITB HAVBNS.At the Curtlss training grounds, at Ilnm-

mondsport, N. Y., BeckwHfi Havens learned

to fly ^Just for tbe sport there was In It.

As sn amateur he meant to show what ho

could do with an aeroplane, and at tha out-

set he had no thought of becoming a profes-

sional aviator. With practice hfi skill In-

creased. Soon he was able to fly boldly and

well. Familiarity with the mornlne made

Its use mors fasclnatln*. Proficiency added

to tbejoy of flying. Then came the question

"Why not make annstoesa of It?"

He Joined the CurtJsa forces In 1011, and

the recognition he B5if«ta«d[WWtbe wisdom of the course ^e bia pnrsned.

&V>rto oiI Havens' fllfhta »t BocUord, III,

on Aug. 5, of last year, and Boone, la., onAug. 10, evoked thrills of pride and gratifi-

cation even from those who objected to hitbecoming an aviator. Still more recently hemade spectacular flights at MlddletownL N.Y., on Sept 1, and at Lewlstou, Me,, Sept.4-6.

As a tribute to tho young airman's ability

as an aviator, he was chosen on Sept. 11 byOlenn II. Curtlss to demonstrate his new mili-

tary aeroplane, built for the army signalcorps. After three successful trial flight*,

held under rigid requirements, which were de-signed to tax to the utmost any aviator'sskill, tbe machine was purchased by tbe wardepartment, through Capt. Paul W. Beck,Havens lis a firm believer In tbe safety of

the aeroplane, even when compared te aJourney ln a parlor car on tbe "best equippedrailroad ln America." This Is due mainlyto bis experiences In tbe wreck of tbe 18-hour Pennsylvania flyer, near Fort Wayne,Ind, Sunday evening, Aug, ID, the aviatorhaving had the 111 fortune to he hurt in theaccident, being on his way at the time togive an exhibition of flying at Salisbury, Md,Havens and Russell, one of his mechanics,

were pinned In the vestibule between thedining car and a aleeper when the train waswrecked, and both sustained painful Injuries.Rescuers, wltb axes and crowbars, pried themout Since then Havens has declared thataeroplane travel la for safer than railroadtransportation.

CIIAHLICS F. WALSHWas born to San Diego. Cat, about thirtyyears ago. His start as an aviator was witha machine of bis own construction—a hugemonoplane, which measured fifty feet fromtip to tip of Ha wings. It was equipped witha twenty-horse power automobile motor. Thishe entered ln a meet promoted by Charles K.Hamilton, at Coronndo, Cat, to January,1909. But the machine was not a success.Undaunted, Walsh bound to become a suc-cessful aviator at nil costs, built himselfanother machine, this time a copy of the Cur-tlss machine used by Hamiltou. With It bemade a number of flights at San Diego.Later, In tbe same machine, be entered theAero Club of California Novice Meet, at LosAngeles, In October, 1910, where be mads thefirst circular flight on the Pacific Coast evermade by an amateur, captured all the prizemoney and four handsome sliver cups.

Following Us clean-up at the novice meet,Walsh built a new machine for carryingpassengers, and on Feb. 19. 1911, flew It,

carrying his wife and two children. He thenwent on a long tour as an exhibition aviatorand flew at Portland, Ore. ; Seattle, Wash.

;

Victoria, B. C, and other big cities in theNorthwest Among them was Laramie, Wyo.,which is situated at an altitude of 7,400feet, and Is the highest point In tbe worldfrom which an aviator has made a success-ful flight.

Walsh Joined the Curtlss staff of aviatorsfollowing the big Chicago aero meet, lastSummer. He was assigned the big Curtlssracing machine formerly used by Rugene ElyIn his famous flights from New York toPhiladelphia, and from tbe land to thoU. S. S. "Philadelphia." Last Fall he madeflights with great success west of the Mis-sissippi, filling a large number of exhibitiondates,

HUGH A. ROBINSON,Who la only about thirty years of ago, baabeen n balloonist and parachute Jumper, haslooped the loop on a bicycle and on a motor-cycle, driven racing automobiles and racingmotorboats, built and flown tbe first Americanmonoplane, and now Is flying the new sixty-five mile an hour Curtlss racing biplane.Robinson is a natural mechanic, and since

his youth has exporlmentcl with automobilesmid the gas engine. He built the first auto-mobile seen ln Southwest Mlssojrl. snd thenbeoauie a for*man ln one of the big Uniteraautomobile factories. His mind ran towardaeronautics, however, and as early as 1001he began experimenting with gliders, andlater with monoplanes and biplanes, with onlypartial success. Finally, however, he com-Bleted e monoplane, tbe first ever built inlis country, but before be could perfect It

a storm came along and completely wrecked

He then took up ballooning, and for twoyears made asconalons ln the big gas bags,and "descenslons" by the parachute route.Motor boats, automobiles, and bicycles nextclaimed his attention, in succession, but avia-tion Anally claimed him again.

Feeling that he should be better equippedIn his knowledge of tbe science of flying, hewent to France, where for two years bestudied tbe methods of tbe Frenchmen. Re-turning home, he built a biplane of the Cur-tlss type, and flew it successfully, makinga complete circle of one mile tbe first timeho got it off the ground.

Robinson was not satisfied wltb bis sue-'cess, however, and wanted to associate him-self with one of the leadere ln aviation. Bolast Winter he Joined Olenn H. Curtlss lnCalifornia, and at flan Francisco made hisfirst flight In an eight-cylinder Curtlss racer,remaining ln the air fourteen minutes, andwinning the principal novice prizes.A feature of Robinson's flying is that he

almost always turns to the right, which Is

contrary to tbe rule adopted by most avi-ators, and completely disproves tbe claimmade by some persons that the single pro-peller aeroplane could not be turned to tberight with ease and safety,

LINCOLN BBAOHBY.Within a few months Lincoln Beacbey be-

came one of tbe most spectacular aviatorsin tbe world. He made bis first flight In aCurtlss machine at Los Angeles, Cat, InDecember, 1911. Since that time bis pro-gress has been phenomenal. He has filled en-gagements In Cuba, throughout the SouthernStates, New England and the Eastern States,and wherever he has appeared be has leftbehind a reputation for oaring and spectacu-lar living.

He has developed Into probably the mostsuccessful passenger carrying aviator in theUnited -Statos, and a cross-country flight overa city, mountains «t forests holds no terrorsfor him. At Plnahurat. N. C, he took upCommander Balto, a distinguished Japanesenaval officer, and was highly commended byhim for tbe way :r> which he handled tbeCurtlss aeroplane. At Bridgeport, Conn., belook up a young lady passenger chosen byTht Bridgeport Poet, and carried her to tbeheight of 1,000 feet far out over Long IslandSound. At Wllkea-Barre, last DecorationDay, be carried a young woman to the heightof more than 1,000 feet, and flew over tnecity.

Beachey's sensational glides and dips, andhis sharp turns; cause even the aviatorsthemselves to catch their breath to astonish-ment He Is a Boa mechanic. Before takingup tbe aeroplane under Olenn H. Curtlss, be

operated dirigible balloons In every city intne country.He made a flight In ft dirigible balloon

around the dome of the -Capitol at Washing-ton, D. C, five years ago, and surpassed thatperformance at an aviation meet In Wash-ington, by oircling the great dome In aCurtits machine at a height of 2,000 feet,

ills was the first aeroplane that ever en-circled tbe National Capitol, and created asensation among tbe members of Congress,to whom It was a demonstration of the possi-bility of aircraft In war. And bis sensationalUlght under I be suspension bridge at NlngaruVails will always remain one of Iba most dar-ing feats ever stlemptod by a blrdman.

11. O. ST. HUSKY.Robert C. Bt Henry was born In EI I'aso,

about twenty-eight yours ago. Chasing Texascattle over tbe great plains was all right fora while, but It ceased to bs exciting. U*wanted a life of excitement, so he decided tobecome a locomotive engineer, and wltb tbatidea went into the Uoutnern Pacific Uallroudshops at 131 l'aoo. It took only a abort timeto convince hlui tbat progress was slow with-out a knowledge of mechanka, therefore bstook a course to mechanical engineering laBan Francisco.

About tbls time In bis career the auto-mobile Industry bad Its first great Impetuson ths Pacific Coast St. Henry became in-terested and secured a position with tbtUaynes-Apperson automobile factory at Bio-komo, Ind., where be spent some time in thsmotor department Afterwards he workedfor two years In the shops of the famousfirm of Renault. From the shops he becamea driver of racing cars and participated toautomobile races In many cljlcs of the UnitedStates and abroad.

Aviation next attracted "Lucky Bob," aslie Is familiarly called, and when Olenn Cur-tlss went to ths Pacific Coast last Winterand announced that be intended to establisha school oi San Diego for tbe purpose oftraining army and navy officers to fly, St.Henry was llrst to apply. Tbe school openedon North Island at Bun Diego, in January,with the blonde Texan us one of tbe civilianpupils, and he worked through the Winteralongside tbe military men who were learn-ing to fly. Since the opening of last SpringSt. Henry has been flying In Western Canadaand the Northwestern States, a district hslearned when he was a roving cowboy.

OLD TIMERS.

Listed on this pace of HumAro acton old and gray,

Who have weathered all conditionsAnd battled through the (ray.

Some to peace and happiness.Some to wealth and fame.

Some to poverty and sickness,Hut all have played the game.

Each ha* suffered la his turn,Kncli has played his part.

Each still .•eialn.s a milling faceFor each pulsating heart.

Throughout the lands of the universeThey dispel the pall of gloom,

And cause the world to lau<h and Bmil*As the Spring-time flowers bloom.

Now as you read the names belowLay aside all Jests and jeers,

Let your respect be a monumentFor the laugh provoking peers.

And as the end fast rolls aroundWith the fading light of day,

Remember death leaves every cIosb,We all lay beneath the clay.

THE MILESTONES OF MEMORY.

•Mr. Caille was brought Into the theatrical

field by accident. A victim of circumstance,

as it were. As Mr. Calllc Is the leading

maker of amusement slot machines he sup-

plied most of the penny arcades with 3

varied assortment of his machines, and about

seven or eight years ago he decided to take

a hand In this then most profitable amuse-ment enterprise.

Under the title of the Casino Company Mr.Caille associated with him John H. Kunslcy,and at once set out to secure locations inseveral cities, and -at considerable expensea string of penny arcades was opened. Thisventure was a big success, but the advent of

the motion picture shows turned the tida

the other way, and the arcades were soon a

dead Issue.

With thousands of dollars worth of ma-chines and high priced leaseholds on theirhinds, the situation became a serious one,It was, as Mr. Caille then sulci, "It's n caseof becoming bankrupt or going Into the mov-ing picture game." The latter course wnidecided on, and all (be penny arcades weresoon remodeled Into attractive little theatresand arc still doing business.That Is the way A. Arthur Caille, of De-

troit, started bis present successful show»»

enterprises. Vaudeville wns soon taken up,and a chain of theatres was the result.

'Die reversed or double shift vaudevillerhentre was one of Mr. Caille's fads, and hiscompany built the Majestic, Detroit, fouryears ago for this purpose, and the samepolity continues still. That Mr. Caille hasevery confidence in his present successful the-atrical enterprises is shown by the fact thathis company has recently built the Columbia,Detroit, at a cost of nearly SIBO.OOO. It isconceded to be the finest ten cent vaudevlllohouse in the world. The Columbia is oper-ated on the same plan ns the Majestic.

Four other theatres ajre operated by Mr.CaJlle's concern, making six In the very"Heart of Detroit." The Now Iioblnson,Cincinnati Is the largest house in this con-trol, seating 2,200, and, no doubt, is thelargest dime theatre In the country.

In other ways Mr. Caille Is closely alliedto the show world, as In his large manu-facturing plant are made several devicesused In theatres oil over the world.As .soon as the frost Is out oi the ground,

Mr, Caille snys his company will start tobuild In Detroit a most novel and originalshow house. The seating will bo 2,000, andthe cost $200,000.

Mr. Caille claims Detroit as his birthplaceand wns fli-9t exhibited in 1807.

cape the scrutiny of his subordinates. Hispayroll over tho entire circuit amounts toapproximately $8,000,000 a year, and thatpaid out to performers amounts to almost114,000,000 annually, much of which Is re-

turned to circulation by means of railwayfares, board, lodging and Incidental expensesof the stagefolk, who arc known to live

pretty well.During all hla efforts toward the conclu-

PROGRESSIVE VAUDEVILLE.

BI JOHN W. CONSIDINB,

morets>

Having sired up tho theatrical, or moEJJPWMfi the vaudeville situation In the IVcine Northwest, some ten years ngo, John W.lonsidlne. executive head of Sullivan & Con-»Hiine, conceived tho Idea of "popular pricedvaudeville," and away buck In a remote part01 Ms mosslve brain was a tiny spark of anuea of a transcontinental vaudeville circuit'ying dormant...A' this thought began to develop, tho pes-fc mi 1 ties for a theatre in every city fromroast to oenst, became more apparent to him."e must, of course, .seek a component partior this vast undertaking. He had the Idea

11

t0.,Pr°cedure well Bhapcd In hla mind by

inis time. He knew, too, that It meant anoutlay of a tremendous amount of money, nodmors probably years, that wtnld of necessityroilow beforo he had; brought the scheme toa perfect realisation. He knew that It could

be consummated If he had the proper kind of

backing. Though the vaudeville situation at

this time was extremely Indefinite, lie put 1 10

schomo up to his old friend, Timothy D. Sulli-

van, of New York City, a man In mouy ways

fashioned after his own UkUMkA- man who Is respected by bis fellow men

as one of the highest integrity, Mr. Sullivan

was not found wanting. Ills answer WMconspicuous by Its brevity, "Go ahead, John,

I'm with you:" Mr. Sullivan has remained

wUh hm ever since, though he has never

tnken an nctlvs part In tho management of

%einfofa" courageous and far-seeing na-

ture. Mr. CooBltllnc began moulding his Ideas

Into a composite whole by acquiring a small

theatre In 'Seattle. This proved uodor tl e

astuto Consldlne's management, a veritable

po I mine Then anothor theatre was added,

Then Chicago, Kansas CKy, Dos Angeles, ana

another In Seattle. Before the wlso oneswere thoroughly cognizant of what had takeuplace ho had a vaudeville circuit that waswriting fifteen week contracts with performersand giving them that which they failed toget from other managers, a "play or nay"contract.

In Justice to Mr. Considlne it might beworthy of mention here that his firm Is oneof the few to-day writing such a contract.This form of contract is tho broadest andmost equitable ever given a performer, andBtnnds to-day, as it has stood for some years,as 11 mute testimonial of the man's desirefor a "square deal" to everyone. No act hasever been closed voluntarily by Mr. Considlnesince the Inauguration of his vast circuit."Who Is this man Considlne?" was a

mooted question on Broadway, and beforeany reply was forthcoming this same Mr.Considlne had corralled theatres betweenChicago and Cincinnati, and In tho meantime, us a sort of diversion, he bad gainedcontrol of four other theatres In Butte, Spo-kane, Seattle and Portland, which were thomeans of bringing Orpheum shows Into Mr.Consldlne's houses In the Pacific Northwest.The genius and foresight of the man may

be partially understood wben It is knownthat his Empress circuit paralleled that ofthe Orpheum, but did not conflict In anywny by reason of the difference in the prlcoof admission—all of which he had figured outIn advance. The credit of this achievement,that of bringing Orpheum shows Into theruclflc Northwest, very naturally falls to Mr.Consldlue, without In any way detractingfrom bis pet bobby of "popular priced vaude-ville." So skillfully were his plans laid andexecuted that "be beat his competitors toit," as they any In sporting parlance.

Mr. Considlne Is a quick thinker. He Is

dignified. He Is aggressive. But underlyingall this tenacity of purpose beats a big heart,through which surges the warm blood ofsympathy and compassion for the under dog.

It Is said that few men grow with theirbusiness, but In tbls particular Instance thebusiness simply bulged. From what hassince transpired tho charitable conclusion tohe drawn Is the "man" was always largerthan his business. He broadened ahead of it.

He Is the type of man that requires per-spective In order that he may be fully appre-ciated.

Early in life, tike his business associate,Mr, Sullivan, he knew the value of a goodphysical understanding and a healthy body.lie rarely, If ever, smokes, and never touchesintoxicants.

Mr. Considlne is most patient and consid-erate in business matters, particularly sowith regard to tho stupidity or error of hisemployees. He has said, "The man whonever makes a mistake. Is not a man—he's asaint." Probably the knowledge of Mr. Con-sldlne's feelings in the matter Is largely re-sponsible for the affection, amounting almostto idolatry, in which he is held by his em-ployees, the greater portion of whom are highclass men.No one, except his Intimates, has ever

quite understood his confidence In mankind.He has stood like a bulwark by the foolishand erring, r,omctImc3 to his own dlssdvnnrtage, but oven this has not shaken bis faithIn weak, frail humnnlty. But let a man at-tempt any saffron-bued tactics and he's asvitriolic and tenacious as tho proverbial ter-

rier. The yellow In a man Is to him posi-tively intolerable. Following closely his oft-

repeated theory, "If you have something todo, go and do It," be set in motion a policyof amalgamation and system of managementof vaudeville theatres declared to be one of

, the greatest In vaudeville history.Seattle Is the home of Sullivan & Con-

sldlne's tremendous financial undertaking,involving, as It docs, millions of dollars an-nually for Its maintenance, a great portionof which, cither directly or Indirectly, findsits way back to the main office. Mr. Con-sidlne occupies the position of a director,

with tho rclnB extended to San Francisco,Denver, Chicago, Cincinnati, New York andLondon, where his district superintendentsarc loented, and whose duty Is to keep tabon the various mnnngcrs under their Jurisdic-

tion, and In turn to report to Mr. Considlne.In that way tho fifty-odd shows on the

circuit move on weekly from one city to an-other without the slightest hitch.

The books for the entire circuit are kept In

Seattle, and closed each week. The profit

and loss Is closed off, and a statement Is

placed on bis desk every .Monday morning,which shows lilm at n glance the amount ofprofit and loss of each indlvldunl tbcatre onthe entire circuit, and in which Is Includedfigures for the previous year's business onthis particular week. If be be traveling, tbls

information Is cither wired or cabled him.In that way there Is hardly an hour In theday that he cannot come pretty close to

telling you whnt his business amounts to—If he desires to do so.

ARE BALLADS PASSING AWAY?

BT C11AS. K. IIAnuIS.

You ask me whether ballads are passing

away. My dear Mr. Editor, lot mo assure

you that when the stars no longer twinkle,

and tho sun no longer shines, then, and not

until then, will ballads pass away. As ahallud writer of twenty-live years' experi-ence, I surely ought to know somethingabout them, and kindly remember this aswell, that If you should dio to-morrow andawake about a thousand years from now.you would still hear a ballad being sung andplayed as you do to-day in all the homos ofthe music loving people of the world, andlot me assuro you that no other kind of

music ever written or any song, will evertako tho place of a heart story ballad,You ask me "why?" Uecouso a ballad Is

a story taken from everyday life, from realoccurrences which aro taking place everyday, and that Is why a war, a shipwreck, afire, n panic or a famine will bring out a bal-lad, and It comes as a ray of sunshine to thosad and downhearted, to lighten their dallytoil and cheer them on tbclr way, and It

teaches all to be kind, upright, honest andnoble, as well as teaches a moral, and Is

better than many a sermon preached fromthe pulpit, for the reason that it Is wellknown that many a ballad has brought to-

gether loving couples who have quarreledover some trifling affair, and after hearinga plalntlvo love song, tbey have come totheir senses. I have many letters on file,

also a great many which I receive dallyfrom young girls and young men, who havewritten tho very words I have stated abovo,thanking me for writing such and such asong, and that they hoped I would contlnuoto do so for many years to come, becauao itbrought them together.And now for another question. Where are

all the musical production numbers writtenIn the past twenty years, or even those writ-ten five years ago 7 Can you recall a slnglomelody or a tune of one of them? You shakoyour head. Of course you cannotAnd now for another question. Has the

public forgotten "After the Ball," writtennineteen yenrs ago, and which Is being playedand sung with success throughout the knownworld at tho present time? Why haven'ttbey forgotten that song? Just because It Is

a real, (rue heart story song, which appealsto the mnjoTiiy of music lovers.Then again, can you recall any negro rag-

time songs of five years ago, or even one ofthe melodies? Again you shake your head.But do you think the public will ever forgetthe beautiful ballad, " 'Way Down Upon lbsSuwnnca Ulver," or "Old Black Joe"?Where are those topical or funny songs

that bold sway Just a few years ago, alsothose Italian dialect or Indian Maiden songsthat flooded the market a short time ago?You can Just as well say where are the snows

of yesterday—gone, dead and forgotten, butwill "Tho Last Itoso of Summer" or "Home,Sweet Home 1

' over be forgotten?Just for example, and not for an adver-

tisement, 1 -wrote a song nine years ago, en-titled "And a Uttlo Child Shall Lend Them."which tells tho story of an Ill-mated coupleapplying for a divorce but thore was a littlechild to bo considered, ami when tho Judgoasked Uie child to choose between the fatherand tbo mother (in the song of course), sbetakes both their hands and places them to-gother, with tho result that there was a re-conciliation. Now I have a letter in my pos-session at tho prosent time from a happy re-united family,' tbo result of this very song, asthey wrote me they wero 011 tho verge oftwpamtlon 'w'licn they hoard this song Illus-trated and sung In one of the various vaude-vlllo housoa In litis city, ond the result wasMint tbey "kissed and urn do up," bo who cansay that thore Is not a great power In a boi-lad, and who knows perhaps this very songlias brought mauty n couple oloser togetherwho wore on tbo verge of a separation.Then again, what cheered our soldier boys

In blue going into a buttlo? Just a simple lit-

tle ballad. ''Marching Through Georgia."What soothed a loving mother's heart after

a wo* was ever and she had lost, porhaps, anonly son? Just a slmplo little ballad, "WoShall Meet, But We Shall Miss Ilim, 'ThereWill Be Ono Vacant amir."Tbon again what dicers our school children

on llielr way to school, and keeps their littlehearts full of sunshine nnd happiness? LittleImllnds such ns "School Days,'' or " 'Scuse MeTo-day,'' which make thuin study all theliardor. Then Just listen to them at recessond bear them sing with their Joyous littlevoices. "Iting Around a ltosle," or "LondonItildgo Is lulling Down."Now answer me, Mr, Editor, what would

those little children do without them?What cheers tho working man coming

home from a hard day's toll, perhaps an oldwheezy hand organ playing ''Bless Your EverLoving Little Hcarr?What cheered Admiral Dewey and bis

nnvnl heroes steaming Into Manila Harborthe dsy of the great naval battle? Whatwere the soldiers singing? If you remember,It wns "The Btar Spangled Banner."What cheered our martyred President Me-

lt luley in his last dying moments? Just asimple little ballad, "Lead, Kindly Light"And so I could go on forever and aye tell-

ing to you why the ballad will outlive us all,

yes, even outilvo the world, and will neverdie as long as there are human hearts Intbls world, and boys and girls who will loveand wed, and composers who have the geniusto write the songs lhat touch the heart Asa great statesman once said: "Let me write(he songs of the notion, and I care not whomakes Its laws."

WANTED—THE OWNER "I A DOO.Tho Great Barnes, a strong man, writes

from Moncton, N. it., Can., as follows

:

"While on my way to rehearsal at tho Kra-

Fress Theatre, Moncton, N. II.. on lYb. 12,came across n young fellow lending a bull-

dog with a chain."i noticed the dog doing a routine of

tricks ss they were going along, the street,

so I went up to tho party who was lendingthe dog and began to ask a few questions re-

garding the animal. Just then I noticed aWhite lint button on the dog's collar, and asI could sec by the man's appearance he wasnot a performer himself, I at once thoughtthere must be something wrong, nnd I de-cided there was only one way lo get the dog,and that was by physical force.

"Without hesitation or ceremony I con-nected my trusty right with his jaw—nndall was over. I took the dog back to thehotel, where I now have him. The followingIs a short description of the animal : He Is

an English bull, very dark brlndlo, black face,four black feet, very large head, and weighsabout tblrty-slx pounds. He Iiun performedtho following fents for me : Standing andwalking on nls front feet, doing a row ofcartwheels and back somersaults.

"I shall be pleased to return thla dog toIts rightful owner without charge or reward,as I believe performers should help one an-other, and that this dog was stolen fromsome act previously playing this territory.

The owner can reach me by addressing me atthe Hotel Rexford, Boston, Mass."

"PAY DAY NIGHT" PRODUCED."Mrs. Mary Olbbs Spooner produced at the

Dc bulb Theatre, Brooklyn, on Lincoln'sBirthday, a new one-act play, by MargaretTiirnlnill, entitled "Pay Day Night." It wasthe flrst presentation of the piece on nnystage, nnd It scored a distinct success. It Is

admirably written and excellently con-structed. It Is full of real thrills and thereIs a strong love Interest. The story Is asfollows: Valentine Rlcca and his sod, An-tonio, run a "candy" shop (which Is la

reality a gambling den) In tbe "river quar-ter" of a Hudson River town, which Is largelypatronized by the soldiers stationed at thatpoint of the country. Rlcca's niece, Vlttorls,

Is the only respectable member of the Ricesfamily, and she Is In constant fear of heruncle and cousin, who have long made It apractice of robbing the soldiers of theirmoney by "playing poker." When the soldierwho was being robbed made an outcry, he winkilted "with neatness and dispatch, an open-ing la the floor was made, and his dead bodywns dropped Into the convenient Hudson.

Believing that his "bunklc," Rob Sanders,l,as met this fate. Big Martin, private, II. H.

Infantry, comes to the Rlcca place wlili bis

nny. to piny poker nnd Incidentally see If

Ills suspicions arc verified. He Is accompaniedby another private. "Twisty" Schwartz. Tlio

girl nnd Big Mnrtln have long been lovers,

nnd her aid Is quickly given. All she has li

do Is to leave the door open ao that the iwjsoldiers can make a aulck "getaway." Thtpoker game Is played off stage, but we quicklylearn that Big Martin has won. and In thegeneral flglit which takes place, he wins. Thecurtain falls as Martin, VUtorla and "Twisty"leave behind them the two dead bodies ofItlecu and his son.The "fattest" role fell to Frederic Clayton,

as Antonio, the son, and bis performancewns n classic. He looked the murderousItnllnn to the life. He played with a dra-matic Intcaslty that won him rounds of ap-plause. Ills make-up was splendid, and hisdialect very good.Kdna May Spooner, who Is featured In tno

production, was, of course, letter perfect In

Mr role, that of the Italian girl, Vlttorlo,and she gave to It the tender treatment that11 required. It is a part that could easilylie spoiled by over acting, but In tbe handsof such an experienced actress as MissSpooner, the role was superbly played, Her(ilalcct and make-up were admirable.

Arthur ItehreiiH was happily cast as BigMartin, and he gave an excellent portrait oftho big, brave, fearless soldier. He has afine speaking voice, a splendid appearance,and bandied his strong dramatic role withease.

The remaining roles, Rlcca and "Twisty"Schwartz, were In the excellent hands ofEdwin Curtis and Sam Morris, respectively."Pay Day Night" was tho Spooner attrac-

tion until Thursday night, Feb. 15, when It

leans, on Sunday evening. The types said It

was a grand match dance for $2,000. Bar-

num finding that the Diamond excitementwtis 'p!&yed out, and the dancer was an inv-coirtroillable and vicious youth, dropped the

burnt cork speculation and left tor New York.Diamond was of a revengeful end passionatedisposition. He narrowly escaped with his

life In Mexico. Having enlisted In the Ameri-can army, he made an attack on bis superiorofficer ; for this he was sentenced to be shot

;

but, fortunately for Diamond, the treaty ofpeace saved his life. Ho danced for manyviviri with Jim Sanford. They both lived

fast dressed In the;helght of flashy extrava-gance. They both died in Blockley AlmsHouse, Philadelphia. Diamond died Oct. 20,1857, aged thirty-four years. Diamond wasbrought from the Alms House and hurledfrom the domicile of Mr. Orear, in SonsomStreet, a man of good heart and full of phil-anthropy and kindness. Jim Sanford was aBalthnoienn. His correct name was Bland-ford He dressed In the height of fashion,with never a hair on his head out of place.lie commanded a large salary, lived fast, anddied one of the most miserable objects at theAlms House that human eyes ever beheld.

The original Diamond and Dick Pelhamwere rivals. They bad a match dance at theChatham Theatre, New York, on Feb. 18,1840, for $500 a side, and Diamond was de-clared the winner. Shortly after Barnumlost the original Diamond he drummed up an'opposition "Diamond," whose right name wasFrank Lynch. He was a Jig dancer. Wewould here state that there have been two"Jubas" and three "Master Diamonds."Every night was Vauxball Garden crowdedto witness Diamond's antics by anxious spec-tators who suffered themselves to be In-veigled Into an excitement which formerlycould have been conjured up at the old Hay-market by the production of half a score ofthoroughbred darkles, eager to dance them-selves to death's door to acquire the paltrytrophy of a string of eels. There was alsoanother Master Diamond (No. 8), but henever amounted to much as a performer.The last we heard of him was In Philadel-phia, where he danced a trial Jig at Jayne'sHall, Dec. 7, 1857.The original Juba, whose real name was

"William Henry Lane, was a colored boy. He'was the greatest Jig dancer ever seen. Hewas a great attraction wherever be appeared.He danced a match with Diamond (the orig-inal) at the Bowery Amphitheatre, New York,on July 8. 1844, for $200. Juba's flather andtnothcr were both living at this time. HisfitepHather's name was Zaahary Reed wellknown In those days as a frequenter of PeteWilliams' dance house. In 1849, Tom Brlggs,the banjo player, and Gilbert Ward Pell,brother of Illchard Pell (Pelham), took Jubato England, where he becamo quite a card.«o was married there to a white woman,lived a fast life, dissipated freely, and diedJnlecrnbly during tho season of 18ol-'2. Ithas been stated that his skeleton was on exhi-bition at the Surrey Music Hall, Sheffield,Eng.

For the benefit of John Smith, at the Bow-ery Amphitheatre, New York, In June, 1842,T. Coleman, Chestnut, Hoffman and Smithput on burnt cork and appeared.

On Nov. 14, 1842, the Franklin Tbeatro,r.ow York, was re-opened with a variety en-tertoliiment. Dan Emmott, Frank Browerodd Master Pierce were billed as tbe "South-ern Gentlemen," Master Pierce being specially•called "The Little Darkle Ariel." At thosame time Tom Backus, Master Oil W. and•S;.

.They met with such success that they

were at once secured by Welch and Rockwell(then managers of the Park Theatre, NewYork), and appeared there for two weeks, Inconjunction with the original Diamond. Thenthey went to Boston, and for alx weeks theyplayed to large audiences at tho TremontTemple; Returning to New York, they an-

Beared at the Park Theatre three nights forlanager Simpson. They were making great

additions to their entertainment The quar-tette were gradually improving In their per-formances, which consisted of "songs com-posed expressly for the minstrels by theirleader, old Dan Emmett," banjo solos, jig,reel and trial dancing, ''Dinah's Serenade"and "Locomotive Lecture." The party hadmet with so much succeis that they con-cluded to take a trip to Europe. They tooka benefit at the Park Theatre, and sailed forEngland In the packet ship New York, underthe direction of George Wooldrldge (after-wards known as "Tom Quick"), who hadaccompanied them on their Boston trip aaagentThey sailed on April 28, 1843, and arrived

in Liverpool on May 21. The entire capitalof the party when they started was fivedollars. On tbe voyage a frivolous quarrelcaused a separation, Brower and Emmettsticking together, while Whitlock clung toPelham ; but Emmott's song of "Daudy Jim"was the means of speedily bringing the fourInto harmony again. During tbe voyage aGerman, with a fondness for poker, had anhour's sitting with Pelham, who won all hismoney, and, relying upon this unexpectedlyacquired wealth, the party were in no hurryto begin operations after reaching Liverpool,especially as all had heavy colds. They putup at the Bear Tavern, where, unknown toWhitlock, Brower and Emmett, a Germanfrom Charleston, 8. C, beat Pelham out of allhla winnings from the Teuton aboard ship.This forced the minstrels to go to work, andthey opened at Concert Hall, Concert Street,Liverpool, on May 20, 184a . This was thefirst "minstrel" entertainment ever given InEurope. They then went to Manchester,where they gave six entertainments atSloan's Theatre. The following week theyappeared at the Queen's Theatre, same city.Thence they went to London, appearing atthe Adelpbf Theatre in conjunction with thewell known wizard, Anderson.

There Is a curious likeness to "Passers-

By" In "The Pigeon," John Galsworthy's newplay, produced at the Royalty Theatre onTuesday night, but where Hadden Chambersbranched off Into conventional drama, thelatter writer urges on a wild career of quaintfantasy and lurid realism, of which "TbePigeon" Is a strango admixture, To theconnoisseur this Is a delightful play. Whetherit will appeal to the essential populace, is

another matter. Tho scene Is a Chelseastudio, overlooking the Thames embankment:its occupant, a prosperous painter, advancedIn middle age, with a housekeeping daughter,vainly anxious to restrain his prodigal andutterly Indiscriminate benevolence, fromwhich, indeed, sho cannot always withholdher Inborn sympathy. Whenever the shago',rather uncouth little man walked abroad, nowas sure to encounter some derelict, promptlyrelieved, but less wisely Informed of theartist's address and Invited to call In anyemergency. One Christmas Eve daughter Annmade for her chamber, leaving paun to smokehis last plpo at the fireside, and bidding himnot be long about it Soon there eame aseries of solicitous tappings at the window.There entered first Mrs. Megan, an elflsh

Irish flower seller, cold and wet and penni-less, who frankly informed ChristopherWellwyn that she had made this hesitantcall upon bis generosity as an alternative toobtaining food and shelter "in the way opento every girl." Promptly fed and warmedand rcclao, Mrs. Megan was remitted to thotiny chamber reserved for Wellwyn's models.And then appeared a second wastrel, a suaveand drunken old cabman, reduced to povortyby advent of the automobile, soon snoring ona settee. Finally arrived a charming cynical,frankly Immoral young Frenchman, an In-corrigible vagabond, unresponsive to any sug-gestion of reform. Food and Shelter wereat his service, too. Then Chrlstopber rotlrcdto rest A commotion In the studio shortlybrought daughter Ann npon the scene. M.Ferrand and Mrs, Megan were engaged In anardent flirtation, to the accompaniment ofdrunken Tlmson's snores. Ann's impulse wasto clear out the whole trio, but rather In-tervened, and then, with the assistance of aclergyman, an Idealist philosopher, and apompous magistrate, his friends, began anexperiment in reform—an utter failure all

'round—for the play ends with the departureof tho three wayfarers, their faces set to-ward tho open road again. Christopher kindlyequipping them, and bidding them neverforget his address. "The Pigeon" is a charm-ing study of Ufo and character, without afeather of a moral to Its plumage. DentsEadle, as tho young Frenchman: MargaretMorris, as Mrs. Megan; Whltford Kane, asChristopher Wellwyn, and Wilfred Shine, asthe cabman, contribute fine performances.

W. F. Wsllett, the "Queen's Jester," as heis called, was enthusiastically welcomed bya crowded house on the occasion of bis first

appearance since his return to this country,

which event took place at Fox's AmericanTheatre, Philadelphia, on Monday evening,

Jan. 29. Mr. Wallett invests tie clown withIntellectuality Instead of with low buffoon-

ery ; his wit Is deep and pointed ; his logic

is sound; his dissociations entertaining to

tie refined, and Instructive to all ; his quo-tations from the poets are apt ami frequent

;

his liltu at tie follies and sensations of thetimes aire telling and truthful. To sum htmup In a few words, we need only say thatMr. WoUlett appears before us as nn "edu-cated clown," instead of a "funny clown" wehave always been, accustomed to see and hearin the sawdust arena.

Mr. Wallett's clown Is a long way removedfrom the orthodox clown, the "comic clown"of the olden time, yet both may be said tobe equally great In their respective spheres.The educated "Jester" may please the mostrefined classes of society with bis prettyspeeches, bis poetic gems and bis modest man-ner of delivery, but the "funny clown"

—

with his painted face, bis double entendrei,bis resurrected Jokes, his broad allusions,his tumbling and bis ups and downs and com-ical blunders—will "bring the house down,"as It were, and make the masses roar again.Knowing tbls to be the case, wise managersgive tbelr patrons a little of each and thusplease every taste.

We attended a matinee given at the Ameri-can on Feb. 3, and at which Mr. Wallettassisted. On 3, to our mind, be did notseem to be In bis proper form ; his voice wasnot so clear, nor did he exhibit tbat spiritwhich was wont to give zest to bis perform-ances In former days; yet bis sayings werewell received and his many good points thor-oughly appreciated. Throughout the week hehas attracted very large audiences, we havebeen told, and this deserved success we hopemay attend blm during bis engagement

THE CHORUS GIRLThere la a no more misjudged or mlsunder-

tood Individual than the chorus girl. Inmost cases she U entrely different from whatpeople think she la. Viewed from the audi-torium she appears gay, sprightly and thor-

oughly enjoying her work. 8ho ii regardedby many of the uncharitable ones aa beingatrociously Immoral, and merely using thestage as the means to an end. She Is re-

garded as legitimate prey by the Johnnieswho hang around the stage doors, and In

other -ways force an acquaintance with her,

and she la looked upon with contempt by thewomen outside of the show business. ThatIs where she stands In the estimation of thepublic, and yet how wrong and unfair la this

Judgment. In very many cases a chorus girl

secures employment on the stage for one oftwo reasons—she Is either forced to go thereto earn a living, or else she believes she hastalent that may get recognition In that way.Many girls In the chorus come from highlyrespected families)—In fact, there la hardly awalk in life that has not contributed tts

quota to the chorus, Just for a moment con-sider the lives of these girls. Frequent re-

hearsals of the most laborious work, manydays on which they have two performances,with little time for rest, without female as-

sociates outside of the theatre—Is It anywonder that they eeek recreation as a reliefto this monotonous routine, after hours. Latosuppers ore almost forced upon them by theiradmirers. The Johnnies who seek their so-

ciety are not all bad—tho younger ones aregenerally out for a harmlesa lark, and arewilling to spend their money to be amused,but It Is the old rakes who pester the chorusgirl and often bring her Into disrepute.Exposed as she Is, to so many temptations,U it to be wondered at if she sometimes falls

by the wayside? Without any home influ-

ences, debarred by her profession from socialintercourse, subjected to flattery and some-times insults, with no one to defend her, la

it any wonder if she becomes reckless. Andyet there are many good chorus girls. Whenyou find a good one, she Is like pure metalthat has been punned by Are, and she Is byfar the peer of many of the society ladleswho sneer at her.

'May Puryea and company presented theirsketch. The company. In the shape of theadmirer of a prima donna, pretends to be madla order to Induce her to give up her proposeddeparture for the Philippines, where shewould nurse the sick soldiers. She attemptsto quiet him, and discovers the scheme whenhe telephones the doctor who has sent thenurse to him. She then asks for wine, butchanges the same to elder, which she drinkswith apparently Intoxicating effect. Aftergoing through some lively capers, much toher lover's disgust, she suddenly becomessober to show mm that she has had her turnIn deceiving him, and they will both go tothe Philippines. The sketch took some timeto develop, and finished up In lively manner.

Josephine Davis Is a neat little comedienne,with a repertoire of lively songs, presentedin clever fashion. "I Just Met the Girl thatMarried the Fellow" was her first number.Then came "In the Shadows,'.' followed by"Antone,' with which she mnde a hlg hit.For an encore she gave an Imitation of HazelDawn. In her principal song from "The PinkLady," nnd danced and sang the aamo In amanner that earned her repeated recalls.

Jones and Deeley had their act In excellentshape, and the lively conversation of thehotel clerk with the quaint darkey, occa-sioned much laughter. When the scenechanges to the hotel office, the antics of thenew elevator boy, who Is kept on the moveby the clerk, kept up the fun, with the as-sistance of a dummy "front," who did not doany of the work. "I May Be Foolish" wasthe' song that kept the audience laughlnasome more, "The Last Boss of Summer"song, and "My Lady Angellne," gave both anopportunity for some real singing, and theyfinished with a grand burst of melody.The Cordon Highlanders presented their

well known musical act in their native cos-tumes. They sang, played mandolins, nomaand concertinas. They played "The Lostchord" on tbo marimbas and bell pipes, andthey danced the "Highland Fling" with theirusual success, having to bow eight or tontimes when their routine was exhausted.

Marahall Montgomery was there with thedummy and gave bis unique entertainment,using the telephone with good laughing effect.

Ills rating and drinking talks went well, alsohis soprano solos and whistling, with a hand-kerchief stuffed Into his mouth. Mr. Mont-

§ornery Is a most versatile performer, and to

o all he knows would take him the entireevening.The Florence Troupe of acrobats closed the

show, and In their various feats the moatprominent work was done by the little ladytopmounter, who did many singles and twist-

ers with great ease, and also introduced adouble somersault from hands to the shoul-

der. The little boy also did some clever

work. The understandcrs were alwaya onthe right spot, and not a trick missed Are.

Stain's Comedy Circus consists of two welltrained little ponies and a backing mule. Theendeavors of several young men to ride themule created much laughter. On a revolvingtable the same young men take many nastyfalls, and when, at a finish to ihe act, one ofthe ponies sticks on the table, he gets agood hand.The Clayson Trio, two women and a man,

opened with pleasing melody on cornets, eachof the women sing a song, and tbe man givesa whistling tune that Is good. They closewith a selection of popular airs, played oncomets.Bam Goldman, a comedian, pleased the au-

Colonial (Perry 0. Williams, mgr.)—Theseason of 1011-12, which has entered whatmay be termed the homestretch, or Its latthalf, will be noted as the greatest from afinancial standpoint In tbe h-story of the the-atre. The present week started Feb. 10, withthe house packed at the matinee, even tothe standing room spaces, where tbe cutolittle posts and tiny ropes seem to representtbe majesty of the law (divine or otherwise)In enforcing tbe edict "thus far shalt thougo."The bill this week Is one of this season's

best, and Is beaded by popular Adele Bitcble,who seems to find vaudeville a more fertilefield for her talents than the musical comedvstage afford* at this time. Miss Bltchle wasIn excellent form on Monday ; her costumeswere, as usual, the delight of the ladles pres-ent, and she favored her auditors with fivesongs. Those which pleased were: "Let'sGrow Old Together," "Clap Your Hands" and"Take a Little Tip from Father."

After Miss Ritchie bad apparently con-cluded her act, she announced that as tbeaudience was insistent for another song shewould offer a new song, entitled "My Beauti-ful Dixie Rote." The beautiful song roucedgreat enthusiasm, and its fair Interpreterwai obliged (o repeat tbe chorus fire times.

"Dlnkelspiel's Christmas," Joseph Hart'spretty playlet wherein comedy and a touchof heart interest are Intermingled most pleas-antly. In the lines from tbe pen. of Geo. V.Hobtrt, holds the "extra feature" positionof the program, with Bernard A. Relnold fea-tured as the lovable old German. The littlecompany gave an even better presentation ofthe playlet than when it was last seen atthis theatre.

Charles E. Evans was welcome as an oldfriend In bis merry farcelet "It's Dp to You,William." It was Mr, Evans' first appear-ance here this season, and the Colonial pa-tron* toon assured him that he was very wel-come. Chas. H. Hopper continues to he avaluable aid to Mr. Evans, and the threewomen In the company did well.John and Mae Burke were well to the fore

on the "popularity list," In tbelr charactercomedy act, which embraces to many bits ofstage work that are laugh producing thatthey have given it the very apt title, "JustLaughs." Mr. Burke's comedy as the "sol-dier ' with the funny voice was a scream,while his piano playing scored Its usual hit.MIsb Burke's closing song brought a hurrahfinish to the act, with the audience cryingfor more.

Nonette, who delights In being termed "TheGypsy Violinist," made a nice little hit allby herself by her splendid work on her vio-lin and ber line vocatism.The Three White Sains, as musical enter-

tainers, are entitled to a position among tbetonnotchers In their line of stage endeavor.Tbelr act has tbe merit of being arrangedwith a view of displaying tbe full ability ofeach member of the trio. Their Instrumentalwork, as well as the half dozen eongs theyoffered, got by nicely

,

The Five Bullys pulled down their usualhit with their lively skit, "Tbe InformationBureau." Excellent comedy emanates fromeach member of this popular family, andtheir songs and dances are a valuable ad-junct to one of tbe brightest acts In vaude-ville.

Bplssell Bros, snd company, In tbelr skit,

"The Continental Walter," and with theirown elaborate stage setting, combine comedyand expert acrobatics In a most entertainingform. They closed the bill on Monday In fineshape.The owner of the two cute fox terriers,

"Yankee and Dixie," the opening act of thebill, can congratulate himself upon having aduo of the most Intelligent canines upon theAmerican ttage. Their feats of balancing onthe tops of ladders and on swinging trapese,picking out the Dag* called for by the audi-ence, and closing with playing the bells, wereapplauded ns strongly as any act on the bill.

s

Haniraerateln'a (William Hammersteln,mgr.)—Those reaching this most popularvaudeville house later than 2 o'clock Mondayafternoon, without tickets, were doomed todisappointment Nothing could be securedbut top gallery, and very few there. Thereason? Ned waybum. In "The Producer."(See New Acts.) Tbe rest of tbe bill wasgood, and lotted until nearly 6 o'clock.

Paul Brachard, on equilibrist was wellreceived, doing his stunts gracefully.

"Dick," the canine "penman," Is a wonder-ful French poodle. He adds, multiplies andsubtracts numbers up to ten, picking thenumbers from a rack. With a special penstrapped to his right paw, he draws figureson a sheet, and closes with a picture of adonkey to represent a man.De Haven and Sydney, two young men

straight, offered a singing and dancing actthat went well. The boys are clever dancers,and danced themselves Into a good hand."My Lady's Fan," billed as the latest

Franco-American novelty, was most prettilystaged. (Seo New Acts.)

Nellie Nichols, a singing comedienne. Inpink, rendered several songs, her best beingabout a girl who had an Irish mother anda Jewish father. There are many funnyphrases In this sour, and It went big.

Paul Conchas, "Kaiser Wllhelm's MilitaryHercules," Is a good looking man who Is somejuggler of weights. His assistant is fanny,and supplied some good comedy during therests between the stunts.

Williams and Tan Alstyne, tbe popularsong writers, offered several of their latestproductions. Williams tinging In a pleasingvoice, and Van Alstyne playing the piano atonly on expert can.

Ned Woyburn, In "Tbe Producer" (8eeNew Acts.)

Charlie Case, the black face monologlst,bad the misfortune of following Ned Way-burn, and few people doing a monologue couldhave got away with this position as well ashe did. He used bit old stuff, but got a goodhand.

Frldkln'B Boynasen Russlnn Troupe of sing-

en and whirlwind dancers (see New Acts).The Flying Weavers, a well built man and

a good looking, graceful woman, offered atrapese act, doing all tbelr stunt* by holdingon with their teeth Instead of their bands.

deal. The parodies were fairly good, but

the act requires better material and songs

before it can hope for better tune.

Daley and Wayne, a woman and a man,presented a comedy Instrumental and singing

act While the act In Itself does not amountto much, tbe neat manner of presentation

and tbe clever singing by the woman broughtseveral rounds of applause at the finish.

The Fleming Trio, with beautiful sceneryand effects, presented one of the best tight

wire seta that have been seen In this city.

The three girls showed feats on a tight wirethat has probably not been attempted before,

and they were one of the big hit* of the bill.

This act Is surely out of Its class by playingthis time, and should have no difficulty In

getting bookings over tbe big circuits.

The stock company again proved them-selves one of the hits of the show when theypresented a comedy playlet called "A Com-mercial Drummer." This little company provedtheir versatility by changing bill* twice a

week and still play tbelr roles op to thestandard. Miss Tyrone looked splendid as adashing widow, and Bob Le Sueur was cer-

tainly a "windy'' drummer. Juan Vltlasanaand tllte Akerstrom both played their roles

in a. splendid manner. Seven curtain calls

were their snare of the evening's applause.Joe Maxwell's "Electric Girls" 1b purport-

ed to be a novel act, snd It Is as far as thenovel wcy electricity Is handled and used,but when an act requires pictures of promi-nent people and the American flag and "StarSpangled Banner" as an applause getter atthe finish. It surely needs the attention of anauthor and a producer.

Lillian Kingsbury and company, two menand a woman, presented a Roman travesty,called "Mrs. Mac Beth." The comedy Is

original and the travesty Is very funny, butthe producer of the act should allow bothmen to use their own actions, and not makethem assume the ridiculous positions tbeynow assume. Tbe more funnier tbe actionsthe more funnier will be the travesty. Tbepositions tbe men now assume makes themappear to be playing the straight role, not aburlesque. With these changes made, the actwill be worthy of better time.

James Dolan and company presented anoriginal comedy sketch. "At Camp Rest," andcaused a hunch of laughs by their funny an-tics. Tbe act has been seen around underanother name, and Is always a hit on anybill, Closing the show, they drew plenty ofapplause.

The feature films this half were: "Lily'sLove" and "A Near Tragedy" (Blograph),"Through the Drifts" ILubln). "SouthernBoy of '61" (Kolem). Others were: Pathe,Lubln and Gaumont

* THE NATIONAL VAUDEVILLECONVENTION.

The best meeting In the history of the Na-tional Vaudeville Association was that heldat the McLure House, Wheeling, W. Vs., onFeb. 14. The meeting was an enthusiasticone and the best attended since the associa-

tion was organized.

All reports made at the business session

showed the association in the best of financial

condition, with a long and prosperous life to

be looked forward to. Among the many busi-

ness matters discussed, of Interest to probablytwo thousand artists playing over the Suntime, • which embraces the theatres of the

National Association, was the taking of the

the Western Vaudeville Association. Thismove hss been considered for some time, buteven as yet there has been nothing done In

the matter other than the mere discussion ofplans and means of combining with the West-ern Association.

Another topic of Interest was the "play orpay" contracts demanded by the artists.

These contracts protect the player, as, if

booked, he secures his pay even if the man-gugeiuent of the theatre docs not Play him.However, a clause Is in the contract whichgives the management the right to refuse to

play an artist If he Is intoxicated, abusive,

disagreeable, or does not present a "clean

act. The vaudeville men at the meetingwere unanimously in favor of the contract,

which goes Into effect next year.

ORNIEll ORTlKHiRAniS.Mabtin Beck continues to divest the

"legitimate theatre" of Its most scintillatinglights. Mabel Taliaferro, star of a dozenbrilliant successes, has signed a contract toappear exclusively for the Orpheum circuit.

In a one-act play, by Edmond Peeble.Tub Mountain Ahhb Malb Choir, of

Wales, Great Britain. Is an early Orpheumcircuit booking. The Welch choral singershave been on a concert tour In the West,whero they were pronounced tho greatest folksong singers of two continents. Their ad-vent in vaudeville Is undoubtedly one of themost Important of Martin Beck's many ac-tivities. '

Now tiihbe are Irish players In vaudeville.Seumas MacManus, the Irish patriot, hasconsented to the presentation over the Or-pheum circuit of probably his most brilliant

comedy. "The Lai From Largymore." Thepresenting company is to be known as thoSeumas MacManus Players.At Milwaukbh, where John Tiller's Eng-

lish ballet made Its American debut, critical

comment was par excellence. There seems to

be no doubt, that the Sunshine Girls and theElton Boys" form by all odds, the best of theEnglish ballets.

Onb of the pronounced hits of the Or-pheum season has been scored by MasterDavid Schooler, who, with Louise Dickinson,Is offering a miniature serial comic musical.Schooler is but sixteen years of age, and hasalready composed eighteen semi-classical se-

lections, some of which rank with those ofthe best modern composers.Hbs. Louis Jambb, in a one act comedy by

Arthur Hopkins, Is a future Orpheum Circuit

booking. Mrs. James will be remembered asco-etar with her late husband, Louis James,one of the most popular players who touredthe West. Arthur Hopkins, who wrote hervehicle, "Keeping a Husband," is also the

author of "The Thunder Gods," -whichBlanche Walsh Is playing on tho OrpheumCircuit. •

Fbank Kbbnan has selected "The Oath"for presentation during his Orpheum Circuit

tour. The piece 1b considered the best in Mr.

Kecnan's repertoire, and gives the capablo

actor splendid opportunity to display bli

histrionic ability., .

"The Bternal Waltz," Leo Fall's one

act operetta, which Martin Beck has secured

exclusively for the Orpheum Circuit, will bo

the most pretentious production ever under-

taken in vaudeville. The newest work of

the composer of "The Siren" and "The Dollar

Princess," will require a cast of principals, a

large chorus and an augmented orchestra.

Mr. Beck will produce It In a lavish manner.«L '» :

AVIATION.JilUH MWm IN FRANCE.

Antideh, France, Feb. 11.—Hugh Robin-son, the American aviator, who has been' giv-ing a series of (lights on the Mediterraneanwith the Curtlss hydro-aeroplane, at-' thisplace, and who had a slight accident on Sat-urday, was not Injured, although his aero-

Slane was badly smashed. The accident wasue to the great number of motor boats which

gathered about the place whero Robinsonmade his start and landing.

After flying for some rime Robinson at-tempted to alight where the water was thesmoothest, as there was a heavy sea running,with a very strong wind, and great care wasncccBsary. Robinson manoeuvred over tboplace for several minutes seeking a clear spacefor alighting where he would most likelyavoid the fleet of small craft. Just as he wasabout to alight on the water there was arush of boats to the spot he had selected,and he quickly saw that It would be impossi-ble for him to avoid striking somo of themunless he should dive directly down Into thewater. This be quickly decided to do, and]brought his .machlno down at a very steepiangle, which drove the nose of his boatstraight, into the water. He was thrown Intothe sea. but was Immediately picked up by amotor boat. The planes of the hydro-aero-plane were smashed, but the motor was notdamaged. The hydro-aeroplane did not sink,but It will require several days to repair ItThe wind was very strong and tbe sea was

running high. Altogether conditions werebad for flying, but In order to satisfy thecunloslty of the crowds that had gatheredto witness Robinson's flights, both on Bhoreand afloat, lie determined not to disappointthem.The machine did not turn a somersault In

the air, as has been stated, but the entiretrouble was due to the crowding of motorboats and Insufficient water space to landsuccessfully,

NIGHT FLIGHT BXPBRIMBNTS.An Important and interesting experiment

of night flying was given at Los Angeles dur-ing the' recent International aviation meet atthat place. . The aviators were LincolnBcachcy, Glenn Martin and Pbll Parmalee,and tbo flying was witnessed by a largecrowd, among which were a number of navyofficers from the torpedo boats Paul Jones,Perry and Prebble, then In San Pedro harbor.Beachey carried. red burning fuse on his ma-chine, while Martin carried a small acetylenesearchlight. They rose to a height of severalhundred feet, and dropped Imitation bombson a miniature city laid out. on tbe field. FromSan Pedro harbor could be seen the search-lights of tbo three torpedo boats, which hadbeen Instructed by tho Navy Department toco-operate In the experiments. At times theaviators could be seen plainly In the beamsof the searchlights sb they darted and turnedIn their manoeuvres. Beachey hurled sixbombs from a height of 500 feet, making Ave"bits," which was the best record made Inthe unusual contest. It was proved thatcompetent aviators may fly and alight atnight with perfect safety, provided they havesufficient landing space.

MMWHUUGU EXT0S1TMThe Panama-California Exposition, which

will be held at San Dlogo, Cal., during theentire year of 1015, coincident with tbePanama-raclflc Exposition at San Francisco,is preparing to make aviation one of thefeatures of the big celebration Incident to theopening of tbo Panama Canal. Tbe originalplan of the directors was to have an avia-tion commission composed of the leadingaviators of the world, this commission toformulate some sort of a program whichwould provide not only for an exhibit Inkeeping with tbo development of tho aero-plane In tho yoar 11(1(5, but also to Include agreat aviation meet at which largo prizeswould bo offered for flights designed to dem-onstrate tbe commercial practicability of themachines.

In this connection Glenn II. Curtlss, whomakes his Winter headquarters at Ban Diego,was consulted with the result that Mr. Cur-tlss made the directors a proposition to takecharge of the aviation feature. Ho suggestedthat tho exposition provide ten acres of en-

closed ground, whero stationary exhlbltamight be made and which would afford start-

ing and landing places for tho machines mak-ing nights to other cities, or In merely carry-ing passengers over tho surrounding torrltory.

The passenger carrying feature. It was argued,would afford the exposition a sourco of reve-

nue and at the samo time convince peoploof tbe safe and quick means of transporta-tion afforded by tbo aoroplane.Tbe citizens of San Dfcgo are taking steps

to make that city the headquarters for avia-

tion activities on the Pacific Coast, with thoview to Inducing experimenters to carry ontheir work whero they will not be hamperedby adverse climatic conditions during anypart of the year.

school bids fair to become a means of Inter-esting the Cuban Government In the aero-plane aa a military equipment.

nedy, of the Tenth Infantry, qualified for anaviation pilot license according to the rulesof the International Aeronautic Federationon Feb. t>. The first landing was made withthe aeroplane at rest fifteen feet from themark previously designated; tho second land-ing, thirty-eight feet from the mark. Thetost, were made with a Curtlss biplane, eight-cylinder engine,

(Saturday afternoon the aviation camp wasvisited by a heavy fall nf wet snow. In or-der to prevent tbe tent hangars from tearingdue to the weight of tho snow, the aeroplaneswere taken out and staked down, then thetents wore lowered, and It la expected thatvery little damage will, result. The snowstorm is the second so for this Winter atAugusta, and brings forth many Jokes con-cerning the "Sunny Houtb."

During tbo week tho officers made thirty-five flights, having .a total duration of fivehours and thlrty.iwo minutes.

POOR GASOLINE HINDERS AVIATORS.Whether the OH Trust Is responsible for

the Inability of the nary aviators at SanDiego to get high grade gasoline in that cityIs something they are seeking to find out.Lieut. Ellyson was told by San Diego dealer.that only the commercial standard grade ofgasoline was sold on tho Coast, and that highgrade would have to bo ordered from NowYork and tbe extra freight paid by the buyer.As only the highest grade gasoline will suf-fice In the navy type hydro-aeroplane, whichhave tho dual control and carry two oper-ators, Bllyaon Insists upon knowing w» itcan't be found on tbe Coast. In his «stflight with Lieut. Towers, In which thoycircled over fho Hotel del Coronada, they hada hard timo reaching a height of 000 feet onaccount of tho low grndo of tho gasoline theywere obliged to use.

Ned Waybnum, In "The Prodncer."UiMMH&STIlN'S. MONDAY AjTBBNOON,

FBB. 19.

There are meny good acta In vaudeville,

but none can surpass '"She Producer," NedUa j burn's newest offering;, as Ken Mondayafternoon. „. ._. ..The opening: scene shows the office of a

booking agent the morning; after a new pro-

duction. Cailers by the score come to see

lie "chief" (Ned Wayburn). The "chieffinally arrives, and poshing; his war Into his

private office, calls for "His Cabinet," the

scrub lady, the carriage man, and the stage

door tender. From them be gets their Idea

of bla new play. After hearing; them hesees the leading lady, the house manager,the author, the composer, and the costumedesigner, handing each a lemon. The first

scene closes with an excellent fire scene at

Die Hotel Albany, which Mr. Wayburn claims

is the first fire for a week.The second scene is the stage door of the

theatre Just previous to the second perform-ance. The best part of this Is the callingdown given by Wayburn to an angel, who la

trying to meet one of the girla.

The third scene pictures the stage of atheatre, a real rehearsal and performance.This was worked out with great naturalness.The members of the cast supporting Mr.

Wayburn were all good, but probably next tothe "chief," the honors belong to Zeke Colvan,who, as ''Careless Charlie," a hnman being,

created many laughs with his Impossibleacting.The farce ran for over an hour, without a

slow minute, and when the curtain Anallyfell, there was ten minutes of riotous ap-plause before the next act could go on.

The cast In full Is as follows :

"The Great White Way."ICeith'b Haxlxu Opehjl House, Fib. 17.

, "The Great White Way." written byAaron Ross, and presented by the HarlemOpera House Stock Co., Is a sketch that pos-sesses no real merit. The story In no wayconnects Itself with the title, and the plotis very weak. The comedy lines arc few andtar between, and aa an offering with a titlef.uch aa "The Great White Way," one wouldeipect something that would point directlyto the big bright lights, not a story of aubur-»nn life. No intelligent person wonld Imagine«u opera singer of worth allowing a homelylooking farmer to make desperate love toher for a paltry $1,500. This sketch la toofar retched, and needs a thorough overhaul-Sg to be worthy of serious attention. MissThatcher, Miss Alnalee and Mr. MajeronlPlayed their respective roles In a mannerthat pleased.

Donglas Fairbanks and Company, la"A Besralar Boalnesa Man."

Fifth Avenue, Feb. 10.

'Douglas Fairbanks and company presentedan amusing one act absurdity, entitled "ARegular Business Man," by John Stokes, andwithout a doubt this 1b one of the best tilingsever done by Mr. Fairbanks.The scene shows the office of Robt. Horn-

blower, a young lawyer, who has neverearned a dollar In his chosen profession, butwho Is very much In love with a BeatriceWise, bis stenographer and fiancee. MissWise threatens to leave Mr. Homblower, buthe la given an hour to make a bualnesa manof himself. So he Bets about calling upprospective clients on the phone. In themean time bis uncle calls him up, and tells

him that if he will put up $1,000 he canmake $60,000 for bun, but he must get themoney up before noon the same day. LawyerHornblower tells his fiancee that he loat hislast one hundred dollars along with his wal-let the night before, and has only $3.85 tohis name.

In the mean time a Mr. Rockmaa calls onblm and tells him he will give him $000 If

he will buy a lease on some property held bya Mrs. Sweet Rockmsn leaves the office,

and an old lady enters to see Mr. Hornblowerand return the $100 which her son had found.Mr. Rockman returns, and a funny situationoccurs when the lady proves to be the partyMr. Rockman wants to buy the lease from.The old lady appoints Mr. Hornblower herlawyer, who demands $0,000 for his client's

lease, taking $1,000 commission for hi*

end. The financier claims the lawyer the

best ever. The old lady goes away with her

$8,000, and all ends well. Lawyer Horn-blower is a regular business man.

Douglas Fairbanks gave an excellent per-

formance of Hornblower, and fully merited

the approval accorded him. Jean Murdoek. ashis flanc.ee, gave a very clever portrayaL Mia*Hanchett was very good In the part of the

old lady. Elmer Booth, as the financier,

looked and played the part to perfection.

This Is one of the most enjoyable and laugh-

able sketches In vaudeville.

Robert Bdeson and Compaay.Colonial, Matinkk, Feb. 8.

Robert Edeson made his first plunge into

vaudeville this week at this house with a con-

densed version of the second act of "Strong-

heart"

Handicapped by a bad cold, and with manyof bis supporting company In the same pre-

dicament. Mr. Edeson gave a fairly credit-

able performance, although his acting wasnot quite up to his standard. The act onthe whole la not up to vaudeville's standard,

and the popularity of the star alone man-aged to pull it through. It lacks the punch.

A short synopsis of the entire story In the

program would also help in getting the drift,

for aa It now stands one Is left in the darkthrough the entire act. The time was fifteen

minutes, on a full stage, showing the train-

way In which it Is presented, made Its first

appearance at this house tbis week. It I*

called "My Lady's Fans," and is billed as

"Dans Le« Tableaux Vivants," or With the

Living Pictures. .

The curtain rose on another curtain or

heavy lace, and tbla In turn rose and dis-

closed a large fan, which opened and closed

for each pose. Special scenery Is used for

every pose, some being only of famous paint-

ings, others, Bcenes from life, and still others

with living models. In one poBe, however, it

would do well to use one of the stouter

models as "The Spirit of the Flowers," as the

one now used Is entirely too Blender, and

five* the appearance of a beanatalk. withhis change the act is bound to cause talk

wherever It plays on account of Its origi-

Fifth Avenue, Fas. 19.

Thomas A. Wise made his daah Into vaude-

ville In a new one act playlet, entitled "TheChip of the Old Block/' and from the rise

to the drop of ths curtain the audience waskept in good humor throughout with tbe

many funny situations" and comedy Use*.

The scene takes place In the lounging roomof the Actors' Fund Home on Staten Island.

Thomas Burridge, an old, retired actor, whohas played comedy roles and gained a repu-

tation before retiring, bat whose sole ambi-

tion was to be a leading; dramatic actor, re-

ceives a telegram from bis son, whom be hadnot seen since childhood, but who Is now a

dressed like a circus sport The father canhardly believe that the tat boy Is his son.

The boy explains that he Is leading comedian,not leading dramatic man, with the troupe,

and the father Is nearly heartbroken. Theson describes part* that he has played withthe show, with much success, and also tells

of the plot of a new play In which he Is to

star. As a finale the son tell* his father

that he is married and has a son fourteenmonths old. The father fondles the picture,

with the hope that the family will have at

least one dramatic star to save the name of

tho Burridge family.Thomas A. Wise, as Thomas Burridge, the

old actor, gave a remarkably natural por-

trayal of the character, and waa compelledto respond to many curtain calls.

eccentric soft shoe dancing. All in thesketch work hard, and their efforts were wellappreciated, but the act would make a biggerhit If a few lively song* were put lu In place

of those now used, which, though good, tendto slow np the action. ...The act, on the whole, is one of the best

If clever dancing, pleasing music and clevernonsense will count for, anything, . MariaCahlll, who opened Monday evening, Feb. 12,

in "The Opera Ball," will have a most suc-

cessful run. The large audience on the open-ing night received the piece and star in amost favorable manner. The score is re-

plete with catchy, up-to-date music, everynumber receiving several encores. The dan-cing, which Is supplied by several members,and la out of the ordinary.' scored heavily.

The comedy, the burden of which fall* onthe fair shoulders of Miss Cahlll, assisted byHarry 'Conor, created much laughter. Theadapten, Sydney Roeenfcld and Clare Rum-mer: deserve much credit for the manner In

which they have handled the book. RichardHeuberger, who Is responsible for the music,clearly demonstrated his ability as a com-

Ksor. There Is very little startling In tbe

ok, being of the old "Pink Dominoes" va-riety, but with a little touch of AmericanIdeas It seems sure of success.

Miss Cahlll got aU tbe comedy possible outof her role, and sang about Ave songs withgood results. The best of these was "LetTh Find a Charming Rendezvous ," in swing-ing waits time, which will, no doubt, makeit' one of the song successes of tbe yesr.

In this number Miss Cahlll was assisted byButrcU Barbaretto, both rendering tbe num-ber In good voice. An original dance wasperformed by them at the conclusion of tbesong, which wa* a knockout. It was a sort

of a turkey trot, and had a atop movementand a new swing that provoked much laugh-

Harry Conor, who nceda very little Intro-

duction, ran a close second In the comedy end.Alice Gentle sang several songs In excel-

lent voice. Olive Olrlcb. was also hoard Inseveral songs to good advantage. .

Harry Falrlelgh and George Lydeckercored -one of the hits of tbe evening, singing

."We Only Have One Life to -Live."/Mayme Gebruc and Frank Tterney con-

tributed a dance In the second act that wasso good the audience made them repeat It

several times. Several others performedsome excellent dancing that was well liked.

Howard Pascal, as a butler, and BaselKlngdon, as a maid, gave One performances.The principal numbers Include : "What AreWe Coming To?" "Sometimes," "Listen to

Me" and "Sergeant Phillip of the Lancers,"

all of which are aure to become popular. Thesecond week began Monday, Feb. 19. <

Bvor since the Board of Aldermen passed tbebill permitting standees, the 8. R. 0. sign

bas not had any opportunity to accumulateany dust on Itself at this popular playhouse,

and the roped-off spaces are always crowdedat every performance. An exceptionally goodbill, the last half of last week, served to bringout large number* at each performance.

Prof. J. Edwin, Llcbman started the Are-

works by playing "Haunting Rag" In a man-ner that brought him several rounds of ap-

plause.Loretta Boyd sang in a good voice, "Baboon

Baby Dance,'1 and showed tbe slides, and all

helped her In the chorus,Bombay Decrfoot, a "real" Indian, as he

eays, juggled some, shot arrows and thenswung a lariat. Deerfoot's best feature Is

Mb swinging of a 76 ft. Urlat, which hebandies in a clever manner. His talk abouthimself, in Indian language, had the audi-

ence guessing for a White, until he repeated

it In splendid English.Jackson and Margaret, a colored man and

woman, rendered some songs In good style,

the woman's voice being exceptionally good.

Both opened with "My Cavalier," whichbrought them good applause. Next the mangave a topical song, followed by one from the

woman, and both ended up with "The LastRose of Bummer," which brought them sev-

eral curtain calls.

The Parshleys, a man and a woman, playedon musical glasses and then on the xylophone,going from ragtime to opera and back again.

Cfcarlotta St Elmo was the real "clean-up" act of the .evening. A character singer,with an excellent voice and a' pleasing stageErcsence, Miss St. Elmo made a big hit byer clever rendition of popular songs. She

lowed this up with "Oh,- John," then gave adialect version of "Italian Serenade/' andclosed In u regular Eva Tanguay costume.Ringing "Everybody's Doing It," In a realdarkey manner. - • •

Mars Bros, and company furnished plentyof opportunities for laughs by their fannyantics in school. "Fun In a HI School," as It

is called, certainly lives up to its billing, forplenty of fun is on tap at all times duringthe action of the skit. The brother who playstbe harp, however, deserve* special mentionfor tbe excellent manner In which he handledthis Instrument and for the excellent musiche produced with It.

The Vltagraph film, "A Villain Foiled,"ended an enjoyable evening for all, and thentbe sign flashed "Good-Night—Call Again,"and we all took a drop down the elevatorshaft to the cold street below.

fbe man's ploying of Llsst's second rhapsodybrought him a good amount of applause, andshowed him to bo a musician as well as aplayer. The woman's dress, actions andmile remind one a great deal of "I Don'tCnre" Eva, especially her manner of bowingon tbe recalls. The act Is on a par with the

top.J. K. Dmmett and company presented "A

around New York innumerable times. ' Witha little rewriting this sketch can be made 'a

big time act, for tbe theme Is novel, but the

anterlal at present bad. Mr. Bmmett canso help the act In Its present condition by

assuming a quieter manqer and appearingmore as a husband than as a boy. The' fea-

ture of, the act; however, Is his singing of

the songs made famous by bis father; Forthis he received several curtain calls. Healso dances very gracefully for a man of bis

size. By making tbe changes mentioned Mr.Emmett will have an act that should get for

him plenty of time over the. big circuits. ••

company were there with "Mrs. Honey'sHoneymoon," with the finish changed some-what from that preaented on former occa-sions. The Jolly humor of the rather corpu-lent comedienne was well liked. Tbe supportalso worked well.

Brown and Wilson, one as a dandy, theother In full dress with a funny hat, did a lot

of grotesque dancing, lively talking, singlyand Ip pairs. On .the mat their feet in actiontapped out the time without a miss, andtheir unique exit made a bit. -The comedianof the two had some funny grimaces, withgood laughing effect.

Lincoln Sqnare (Chas. Ferguson, mgr.)—Big business continues to favor this bouse,and It now has a well established cllnetele

of patrons who apparently have their regu-lar visiting daya. There is being run this

week a series of moving pictures that havedone long service -.on the local circuits oftheatres, but an important deal has beenmade whereby on each Monday and Thurs-day, seven entirely new films will be placedon view. This will glvo the once-a-wcek pa-trons seven pictures they have never beforewitnessed.The new vaudeville show of Thursday, 15,

brought six acts of entertaining merit andGeorge Banks, a monologiet, with a well de-

livered line of talk, a couple of good songsand a few dancing steps, started things goingIn fine shape.

Morris and Beasle'y, a young couple ofopposite genders, followed In songs and dia-

logue, which got over to the complete satis-

faction of the big audience. If the male endof this act Is Morris, he. has a very capablepartner in cuto little MJss. Bcasley. . Bnowas there every 'time with thepatter, and her songs,' especially

"

number, wero gems in their waybam Jones" was the best song put over bythe' young man, and It received a well de-

served encore. .They took three bows on theirclosing number, "Susie White."The Musical Stoddards deserve praise for

tbclr novel manner of introducing theirinstrumental numbers with a line of quietcomedy talk. Closing with a 'cello numberby Mr. Stoddard, with the young woman asan accompanist on a small organ, was abartistic, and at tbe same time, an effective

finish to a nice little act.

Heritage and Dlnchart appeared in afinely acted little playlet, wherein a wife's

Jealousy and suspicion of her husbandsfidelity was the dominating theme. It Is asure proof of merit when players can score-n success in a. sketch where the theme is

time worn, and this fact must be credited totheir work- on Thursday.

Thecostuming throughout were nil creations Indressmaker's art, nbout ten changes beingmade. Harry Lester Mason was happilycast In a German role, and certainly got thelaughs. Mason Is a comedian that is orig-

inal In every thing be does, and In assistingin numbers he was a grand success.

Jack Conway, as Tim Kellly, a retiredalderman, has seldom been seen to better ad-vantage. He portrayed bis character in aclever manner. James J. Collins, in nstraight role, looked and dressed the part.

Harry Francis, In a duel role, was capital.

EloUe Mathews, leading the females, lookedcharming. During the course of the enter-tainment she sported some handsome gowns.Corlnne Ltbr and Mildred Barrlngton wereboth well cast, and acquitted themselves withmuch credit.Handsome and nimble Fannie Vedder sang:,

danced and talked herself Into much favor.The bulk of the work in the female end Is

put on Fannle's shoulders, and the cleveryoung lady met with much success.

The musical numbers, about fifteen la all,

were put on In good style. The principalones Included: ,TMy Heart," rendered byHarry Francis, In good voice to several en-cores; "The Washington Waddle," given byFannie Vedder, with the chorus assisting,took several bows ; a number entitled "Holi-days," showing the chorus in different cos-tumes, was well liked.

"Call Mo a Taxi," a recitation number,was capitally done by Barry Francis. "TheWhitewash Man" waa another rendered byFannie Vedder, and brought her in good re-

turns. "The Hippodrome was sung by JackConway, and It made such a hit that the au-dience made him repeat it several times. "TheKing la In the Bathtub," a one act operetta,was a scream, employing the whole companyto good advantage. "Bathing," presenting tbegirls In handsome bathing costumes, was wellliked. "Good-Night, Mr. Moon." given byHarry Francis and Eloise Mathews, with tiie

chorus assisting, waa s riot, taking about adoien encores. "Julia," a classy noveltynumber, was given by Fannie Vedder, and Inwhich she also danced. "Senorlte," by CorlnnaLehr, went big. Ella Smith, one of theponies, rendered "III Lo," with tbe girls onswinge, that waa good for several encores.The aviation novelty, called "The Eaglo andthe Girl," which flics over the audience, again

PITTSBURGH BMUISQI'E NOTES.Hilda I'abtbidui, billed as "The Goldea

Venus," was an Instantaneous bit last weekwith Academy audiences, where ebe was theadded attraction with Miner's American*.Miss Partridge paints her entlro body withgold, -which makes a beautiful appearance,coupled with a splendid form, and gives s pcr-fortusnee of eighteen classic poses. Her ex-

hibition wouM strengthen any bill.

Acadbmi natrons will remember Etta Wells,

of Miner's Americans, as the little lady fromBrooklyn, who was received with much favorwhen hero four years ago, with the CosyComer Girls. At thst time she entered In

h chorus girls' contest, and sang "She Wasa Grand Old Lady." taking the house bystorm. Good luck to you, Etta.Hans Rnao, the Lilliputian with the Amer-

icans, made a big hit.

MsaoARBT Flavin, leading woman withMiner's Americans, gave a splendid Imper-sonation of Lillian Russell, and la proclaimedto be the prettiest woman on the burlesquestage by both press and public. The close of

the show, with Miss Flavin in black tights

In a military number. Is a beautiful spectacle,

and Is one of few that calls for several en-cores on the finish.

Bads La Toub. with the Bon Tons, Is in-

deed a clever little woman, and was well re-

ceived by Gaycty audiences, who admire vi-

vacity while singing. Bert Baker had manywarm friends In the audience, and his por-

trayal of Irish choractcra la well worth theprice of admission.

The youngfirm prospered, and In 1805 had saved suf-ficient money to start the Batchelor andDoris Circus, which for the twenty succeed-ing years toured successfully from Coast toCoast. In 1881 he bought the Interest of hispartner and continued the John B. Doris Cir-cus until 1880, when he disbanded his showand returned to this city.

replaced with the Dahl-strom Steel Products.If the exterior walls,floors and partitions

are of fireproof con-struction, and the last

SCENE MfcOM HOMBR'S "ODYSSEY."

HOMER'S "ODYSSEY"

INFRINGER CAUGHT.

Quick action on the part of

the Monopol Film Company

was a surprise to one party

who was arrested In Ottawa,

Ontario, on Wednesday fore

noon, by Frank Winch and a

Burna detective, and n three

reel set of Homer's "Odyssey"

was seized by the customs in-

spector.

Word reached tho Monopol

Film Company late Tuesday

afternoon that an attempt was

made to Import a copy of Ho-

mer's "Odyssey" through Mon-

treal.

Within an hour Mr. Winch

was on the train for Ottawa.

He had the record searched,

and then filed a claim for copy-

right, which was granted. At

the same time he was in touch

with the . Burns Detective

Agency, to whom he supplied

information as to the Infring-

er's name. Bhortly after three

o'clock that afternoon the

party was located as he was

In the act of selling this film

to Mr. Winch, who had as-

sumed another name, and who

was supposed to be a pur-

chaser of the Aim, coming

from Toronto, Ont.

Through long distance tele-

phone Montreal customs offi-

cials were notified, and they

immediately sent telcgrnms to

every port of entry In the Do-

minion of Canada to seize any

film called Homer's "Odyssey."

This quick work on tho part

of the Monopol Film Company

indicates that their several

months' work In preparation

for the protection of Stats

right buyers have been success-

ful. The Burns Detective

Agency was retained to protect

buyers from infringers and

plracloB, and thia is tho first

case that came up.
