By Survival of Fittest, Says Len G. Shaw • Of "Miracle" in San Francisco Tho lethargic state of the American

theater, particularly in the regions known as the road, probably will be overcome in duo time by the working out of the survival of tho fittest rule, it is suggested by Len G. Shaw, dramatic editor of The Detroit News, in a discus-sion of the situation. Commenting on the heavy list et

casualties this season, both in New York and on the road. Shaw says that the sur-prising feature is not the largo number of failures. but the unfamiliar names of the producers identified with them. "There In no use." he says, "attempt-

ing to keep informed regarding these men who spring up over night and often pass from view just as quickly. A new crop of impresarios steps forth to take the place of those who suffered eclipse, and they In turn are succeeded by ethers. It used ta be said that everyone was writing plays. Now it seems everyone is trying to produce them. One result of this mad scramble to become impresarios has been the presentation of the poorest lot of offerings in many seasons. Broad-way is not pointing with pride to many of its dramatic doings. Most of those _that withered during the try-out Period Were deserving of the fate dealt them.

On the other hand. worthy attractions on tour have had little cause for complaint. It has not been the greatest season within memory. Neither has it been the worst. unless It might be in the scarcity of shows.

"New blood is as essential in the theater as it Is in any other inatitution. The difficulty seems to be that too many of the newcomers know too little of showmanship; that they are more con-' cerned with the prospect of making a quick killing than with the quality of the wares they offer. There is nothing to prevent a man spending money making productions, provided ho bas it or can find an 'angel'. But as given applica-tion in recent years, this does not help the show business as a whole. Rather It tends to destroy public confidence in the theater as an institution deserving of support.

"How long this condition will continue no one can tell. Stittle Profess to see the beginning of a new order of things that will get the theater back on a sane basis thru the elimination of the Incompetents who now clutter the field. The need is not for more producers. There are too many as it is."

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1. —The Initial performance of The Mirada. given Mon-day evening at the Exposition Auditori-um, was viewed by 4.700 spectators. The attendance at the IIICCOnd performance Tuesday evening was !dial-illy in excess of 5.000, and Wednesday evening It Was little under 5,000. Some idea of the interest evinced in

the spectacle may be judged by the fact that tho total sale of scats on Monday afternoon, shortly before the first show-ing, was over $140.000. Sid Gratz:non and • some prominent

Alex Gerber has apparently put his best into this vehicle for Harry Seymour. former burlesque comic. The piece is lagentously routine& the settings are in good taste and the various episodes are hinged together in as logical an order as the comparatively short tune allotted to the action will permit. Seymour's stock of facial and pantomimic stunts are in themselves quite enough to satisfy the ordinary palate, but Gerber pushed mat-ters more than a few steps further by providing him wth lines that click three- • quartets of the time. The act co nies of tour blackout

'ketches appended by specialties before an in "one" drop. The supporting cast includes two men and three girls, all good in song, dance and talking bits.; The prolog bit reveals one of the girls seated an a throne in the role of Queen Public. Seymour appear» as a jester and the action turns out to be a tent wherein the jester is obliged to figuratively tickle Queen Public's funny bone. He succeeds admirably. not only in this allegorical comedy bit, but also in the blackout bite that follow,.

Who's Who in Songland Joe Hiller —Professional Manager

TOE professional manager for Watorson. Berlin fit Snyder. was born in London, 1890. At the age of 15 he was brought to Now

• York, and his first job was in the music budness —errand boy for Tommy Hughes, who had just gone over to the Shapho-Berneteln con-cern. After 11111er had acquired some of the tricks of the game he was di spatched to Pittsburgh to manage a music store operated by his

)1 And when another prominent publisher purchased the store, stock and good wilt ailler was In-cluded in the transfer under good will and good cheer.

About this time Hiller became ambitious and cast his eyes about for a better job, eventually talking himself into managing the Pittsburgh °Moo for Waterton, Berlin 6nydrr. Ile did so well in Pittsburgh that ho was appointed manager of all the branch offices and got boost in his pay envelope.

In 1922 Hiller was made professional manager of the New York offices. and remained there for three years. Then he was sent on the road for a year to pep up the branch offices, during which Urne two other men took a crack at his old job. A month ago Hiller was called off the road to take

up the reins as pro essional manager of the New York offices, and now has the staff hitting on all cylinders. s. Miller cannot 1, ay any instrument, yet he selects all the songs for his firm. Like many others in the business weighted with the responsi-bility of picking hits, Hiller depends upon his experience and ear to judge songs in manu mi t form. He also writes the slide versions for all the numbers released by his firm. Hiller usually renders snap judgment on a now number after hearing It played once or twice. Ho picked Mary Lou and Tonight You Belong to Me in this manner._

Four months ago Hiller married Miss Evelyn Silverman, reputed to • have been at that time the prettiest girl in Pittsburgh.

Former Hit To Be Revived

Mike Morris, who runs the New York offices of the Joe Morris Muffle Compose, le about to get under way to revive bt the Sweet Leap Ago, which was a big hit a dozen years ng0. Mike says he was prompted to take the step owing to the numerous requests from vaudeville artists for vocal. The number was written by Bobby

Heath, Alfred Solomon and Arthur tang*. The dance orchestration was made by Lange when he was a member of Morris' staff, and Mike thinks it will be a big asset in putting the number over with or chestras.

Dubin's Absence Is Profitable

A few weeks ago Willie Raskin and Lee David were saying "We wonder what's become of Al Dubin." With Dubin they had written a song called gimping in the Rain and found a big pub-Railer who was willing to give up an ad-vance. The publisher wanted patter for the song and told the trio that as soon as Dubin wrote it he, the publisher. would hand over the advance check and edge the rentity contracts. Dubin went out, saying he wove be

back in two hours with the patter. A week passed with Dubin still missing. ,Then his collaborators began to wonder what had happened to him. Two weeks passed. During the third week Itaeldn and David took the song bark from the publisher and called on 'Mai nsail. Berlin & Snyder. The bend of the firm thought Ringing is the Rain had all the earmnrks of a lilt and offered to doubla the advance of the first publisher If Raskin and David could round up Dubin that day. Wen, about an hour Inter Monsieur

Dubin breezed into the offices of Water. son, Berlin & Snyder with sonto of the best patter he ever wrote, and the song was placed and is now on its way to the printer. Offhand, one might be in-clined to say that Doen knows hie onion.

scneottie or tite contract ano else calenoar. And royalties that should bloom hi the early spring never como to life for months to come. Some publishers pay royalty within 10 days of the date prom-ised, some pay within a month or two. some promise to pay and others never pay until taken to court —and then re. luctanUy give up as little ns possible. Years ago. before 10-cent music was

known, the usual royalty on sheet music was 5 cents the copy. In those days publishers received no mechanical royal-ty, hence the writers didn't get any, When Woolworth became a big factor in the huffiness and sheet muslo sold to tito trade at 6 and 7 cents the copy the royalty was cut to a cent, but writers made just as much because the sales of sheet music increased many times. Then along came the mechanical royalties, During the 10-cent sheet' music period numerous hits paid the writers as high as 850.00D in royalty. At the present time the usual royalty

is 2 and 3 cents a copy, plus 25 98 or Ge per cent of the mechanical royalties. Thirty-three per cent is paid more often than the others, and 60 per cent la given only in exceptional cane Production songs bring as high as 6 cents, but part of it la paid to the producer and others, which, after all, leaves the composers about 3 cents to split between them. A few publishers pay composers royalty on dance orchestrations. , If you do business with a reputable

flmt you get what is coming to you. but if you deal with a sleight-of-hand artist YOU get a heada che. t

Saul Bernheim a Great Finder — •

Some birds are self-starters., while others have to be cranked in order to get into the spotlight. Saul Bornholm, new connected with Fred Fisher's publishing house, has a reputation for finding ob-scured and unappreciated genital and pushing It Into the front row. Rernheint Was one of the few to see

any commercial value in Yea, We Hare No Resanes. Ho had an option en it for a while and tried to interest several big publishers in it, but none could see the number. A few days after his op-tion expired, Louis Bernstein, the only big publisher Bornholm hadn't ap-proached, grabbed the song. On another occasion Bernhelm ran Into

Larry Speer. who had the first strain of a chorus, After hearing it, Bern. helm got hold of Con Conrad and when the trio finished with the strain it had been developed into Memory Lane Bern.. helm also discovered and started Harry Woods on the way to fame and fortune. Harry came here from Boston, but couldn't get a look in. Bornholm took Urn in tow and now Harry is one of the big shots as a melody writer. Woods got his first taste of fame and royalty thru eking South. Now Dernhelm is out exploiting

Delilah, which ho thinks will surpass the popularity of Dardanelles. Several big publishers already have offered Fisher big advance royalty' in an effort to get the number. So Monsieur Bernhelm is happy over his latest adventure la melody.

' Abe FranIcl Changes His Mind Abe Frankl, who resigned a few

weeks ago as professional manager for one of the big publishers, has changed his mind about going into business for himself and has rejoined the professional staff of Irving Her In. Inc. With a 11 ber called Yankee Rose, written by him-self and Sydney Holden, Frankl was all net to take a crack at the publishing end. Berlin, however, offered to take and exploit the number and add Frankl to the staff.

Rose and McCoy Off to Chicago Billy Rose, songwriter and publisher.

and Jack McCoy. professional manager for the Fred Fisher Musks Compiler. have gone to Chicago to make the good folk of the Middle Went acquainted with Delilah, a new number written by Rose and Fisher. Since they received several flattering offers from other publishers for Drille?.. Rose and Fisher are more con-adent than ever that they have another Dardanella.

The "good « MU", ex-buddy priest, and his practical anIllica-lion of Christianity to the extent of such expre alens as "whet the hell".

fort to stress vigor to the play he so me-times oversteps the boundary Of good

Stevens'. This authentic Irbittneem of the play makes it peculiarly an added merit that a long-experienced Irish actor. Mr. Kane, should servo as pro-ducing director and act the part of 'Captain" Boyle.

It would be but poorly indictel te eaY that the fleet performance of Juno and the Po week w as perfect. It could hardly be expected that a whole co m-pany, including several young players. could master unifor mly the rich Irish dialect with its lilting speech rhyth m. Then, too. there could be observed so me of the difficulties com mon to plays di-rected by one of the playere. The fact that the director has had to be on the stage a great deal has prevented hie having persp ective on so me of the im-portant scenes. The result is occasional disproportions Such as unbalanced co m-position of the stage pictures, EURRIF there was the intermittent nervousness and sontetIntere broken flo w of action usual to opening nights. The high draloatte moment of the play

was when Juno (Mary Agnes Doyle) re-peated with quiet but telling emphasis the words of the other mother. Mrs. Tattered (Helen Ferrero, who had earlier also lost a son. If the play has a ditlactie aspect It must be found here. where the two mother* of two dead sons plead for hearts of stone to be taken away and replaced by hearts of hu man flesh. The utter quiet of the audience was greatly co mpli mentary to Miss Doyle's control and indicative of the audience's own agree ment with the mother cry for peace, peace. stormier'', enough.

rendition of the unique and finely con-ceived bread ending of the play strength-ened powerfully this very kernel didac-ticism of the piece. For the final word of a reeling drunken scene, with son dead, wife deserted, daughter fleeing with sha me and the ve ry furniture

stripped away for debt, the lovable, lazy. bibulous old 'Captain" says with condo mispronunciation often heard before. "Everything is in a state of chay-os (chaos)." Heaven knows it is, and will be, while men will strive for freer lives by the snuffing out of lives. Kane's com manding, Infinitely and

well-nigh perfectly characterized Jack Doyle was powerfully seconded by Art S mith's "Sexe?' Daly. This Irish version of the clonal(' and niedleVal parasite is one hardly 90 well written anywhere else in our ti me sand certainly hard to play better than Smith played it. One is re-minded of Lightnin' Bill Jones and like character,, even to Falstaff. hut here, individually Trish. Is so mething char-acterized without caricature. Neal Caldwell's •Johnny Boyle and

Roberta B. Louden's Miser Boyle were earnest and effective if not very Irish. They played with co m mendable con-sistency and real sense of cli max.

Ellen Root's Masi., M adigan was a vlgoroux and see mingly truthful concep-

tion. Her Mu ffing was especially well handled.

• Henninger. billed as - "the master mind GIC and MAGICIANS of modern mystery" at the Keith Thea-ter, Cincinnati, lives up to his billing. Ile is certainly a mystifier an ere n a ., vas much speculation as to his methods CIS ' or reading and answering questions written in secret by members of the audience who wore also astonished by his mathematical skill in the swift midi-lion of numbers known only to those who had the figures in mind. Henninger performs his feats of mind-

reading alone and appears to be :tided by no confederates. Ho works rapidly, smoothly and very accurately. There is .not the slightest evidence of trickery or collusion in any of his tests. Henninger is a showman of attractive

r personality and always commands the complete attention of the audience. While in Cincinnati Henninger called

with Ned Hastings. manager of the Keith Theater, on Col C. O. Sherrill. city man-ager. and did some card tricks at City Hall, Sherrill commenting "very clover." Henninger showed him some more tricks and at the last one Sherrill said: "Mar-velours! I rimer saw anything equal to It." In the last trick Sherrill left the n un and wrote the first name and date of birth of his son, placed the sealed envelope on the floor and put his foot upon it. Then Henninger told Sherrill whnt he had written. Henninger offers a reward of 210.000

to anyone who is able to prove that con-federates are employed in his mind-read-Ina presentation, or can offer evidence of any outside assistance in Ms work. ,

'vate,' had written a pantomime came an great surprise. Harold V. Neilson has

put this up at the Apollo on boxing afternoon with Jill Esmond Moore the daughter of Eva Moore and tho late Harry•Esmond, as principal boy. It Is a change to Celebrate Puss la Boots after doing the like for Abraham Lincoln, Bob-CH B.

THE drama has a language of its own. Perhaps it would be fairer to ex-clude the plays of that greater

playwrights: but the work of the lesser dramatists, and of these there are dozens to every one of the former, teem for expressions peculiar to the drama of today and yesterday. The characters of one play will peddle

heights are reaehed by the heavenly ap-peal "My God." It serves the actor when falsely accused of murder. To the hue-band surprising his wife with a lover, it is a cry of animal rage, while the one detected in compromising circumstances expresses concern in the same way. Hate, fear, jealousy, anxiety, distrust and other qualities are painted by the dramatic author with "My God." An actor, when he is good, can comsat' a mOititude of different meanings into these two short words just as he could into "corned beef" bad the writer chosen that expression for the tonic-sot-fah of the dramatic. emotions. The in playa "My God" is used by all grades and in all casts, in actual life it le the standby of the chorus girl and her class. It is her cry of despair when she misses a train and her cell ta arms against the stage manager and other baditlonal

'When the Yiddish theater force« in New York gathered at the Hotel Penn-sylvania. December Mi, to honor the gMh anniversary on the stage of Max Gabel, president nf the Jewish Theater Man-agers' Association, and an actor and Playwright. Equity's executive secretary telegraphed: "The actors of the English-speaking stage join with their Jewish brethren in this tribute to Max Gabel. He

From John Hay's Diary

December 18. P M., "Hackett, the ac-(or, spent the evening at the White House and lia their talk the President <Lincoln) showed a very intimate knowledge of those plays of Shakespeare where Falstaff figures. He wan par-ticularly anxious to knew why one of the best scenes In the play —where Fal-staff end Prince Hal alternately assume the character of the king —is omitted in the representation. Hackett nays it is admirable to road, but ineffective on the stage." e From the above it would seem that

President Lincoln was a better critic than the actor. e The famous Players' Club revival of Henry IY, Part 1, last spring proved that the scene mentioned was full of comedy and most effective.

Comparisón of Playhouses 25 Years and Today

(STEPHEN RATHBUN. in "New York Sue")

N NE W YORK 25 years ago today. when Maude Adams -was playing (mangy Street. Richard Mansfield was

a quarter of a century ago, when the Eden Museo exhibited as a curiosity meting' pictures thrown on a screen by s "Cinematograph". New York had 28 legitimate theaters with a seating capac-ity of 19.149. The population in 1900 was 3.431.202. 1/4

A comparison of the e figures with the figures today shows that the great growth of the movies bas not injured legitimate theaters and no doubt has helped them. The present population of New York (1925 estimate) is 5.373.816. There are 71 legitimate theaters with a total seating capacity of 7E417.

Thus it is seen that, while the popula-tion has not doubled in 25 years, there ore now over two and a half tintes as many legitimate theaters as there were in the season of 1901-'02. And the total somber of seats is a bit over twice the total of a quarter of a. century ago if one adds the seating capacity of the five theaters now being erected that will be finished this season. They are the three Cumin playhouse.. with 800. 1,200 and 1.900 seats: the Ziegfeld Theater, 1.059 seats, and Erlanger's Theater, which will have 1.700 seats. These theater, will swell the seating total to S0.770 in con-trast to the 1901 total of 3D.149. '

The fact that a handful of legitimate theaters, five to be exact —Astor. Bid. more, Central. Cohan and Sate H. Harris —are exhibiting photonlays is offset by the building of therm five theater*, not to mention three others erected earlier in the season —the John Golden. the Edyth\ Totten and the Waldorf.

That the 'average theater of 25 years ago was retraer than at the present timo was due to the popubtritn of the second balcony, which has long since waned. In those days the "gallery gods" were still in existence, hut like the matinee idol they have passed away. 4 the manage. nient of one of the older playhouses of-fered last season cut rates to working mine clubs and other \ organizations in an effort to popularize! the second bal-cony. A.. U Erlanger is the only cesan' 'ter at the present time who believes still In the drawing power of the second balcony. He will have one in his new theater.

The fact that this has been thus far a poor theatrical season cannot be blamed on any alleged encroachment of the movies. With the waning of the star system the interest of theatergoers has switched from the acting to the play. Nowadays no atar la popular enough to make a success of an indifferent drama. In fact, elevation to stardom is often nettling more than a. gracious gesture on the part of some manager. It was the Moscow Art 'Theater players who taught our theatergoers that the highest aim of the actor should be to submerge him,. self. not ao much in his part' as in the Oily ltsclC The drama has ascended to a higher position than the actor, who is. er ought te be. Its servant. And the reason that this drama year has not Itnamed prosperous to a number of man-agers is duo to the small number of good stays in comparison with the large num-ber of theaters.

The 'men'ace of the movies" as re-raras the legitimate theaters is a buga-boo that has no foundation in fact. It is Pesalblo however, that the movies are stealing some second balcony patrona. Anybody would prefer a good seat in a emiolidalt house to an uncomfortable

skyscraper seat in a legitimate theater. But it is, moro likely that Joseph Lobbing (alias Gray's Drug Store/ with his cut-rate theaterdicket business has spoiled the second balcony Undo. tam are the movies voted "not guilty" of Injuring in any way New York's IcaltIniata (beaters.

does not look very promising at the close of the year. More houses than over are playing revues, and agents are carrying their heads off how to import foreign acts with so little time at their disposal. No longer can foreign acts be given six months' consecutive as for-merly. In fact several acts have hail to return home recently with but one month played In Germany in, spite of the usual atomise on the part of the agents to look after them.

• 50 The Billboard, January 8, 1927

A Symposium oiti ateán/Entértairiinent HAS THE limit been reached in

stage dirt? It not, where, when and hoar

will it end? • These questions, and others along

• the same line, are being widely and seriously discussed at presonts—and

• have been for some time. There is much concern in some quarters over the effects of the trend to moral de-terioration in theatrical entertain-ment while others regard it merely as a seasonal disease.

Tho immediate reaction appears to be benefiting the metropolitan stage alone—at the expense of the pro-vincial theaters, which are unable to keep °pea because their patrons will not stand for the obscenity, nudity and profanity of the Broadway stage.

• The Stage and the Crowd •

/n a recent Sunday edition of "The 'Arkansas Gazette" of .LIttle flock. %Ark., there appears:P. Ms leading edi-torial, headed "1 a." Stage and the Crowd':

"Men and women —not to mention young children —gather in a theater to see a "shown whose appeal is by 'general notoriety-based on the degree to which its women are disrobed for puhlle • everybody whose mental and moral equipment approximates the normal cornea away convinced of the futility of the mere exposure of women as sufficient at-traction to satisfy those who havo paid their dollars to be entertained.

• If all acts and number's wore elimi-nated save the parades of women tun-dressed to the limit of abandon such a performance would fall flat in fail-ure. After all, the crow4 is held and satisfied by music and dancing sand by humor, even if stock one 'stereotyped. A beautiful female fig-ure has from the beginning of time served to mengue the eye of man. The most skilled and famous sculp-tors have translated that figure into marble and the greatest artists have put in on canvas. But the plain truth is that the female figures seen in the living flesh in "road shown" that feature their scores CI women can not charm an audience when ' they are exhibited almost nude. Rather they produce a sense of em-barrassment, not untinged with a cer-tain sense of pity, and a subconscious impatience to see them conclude their exposing evolutions and march off the stage. "In the old days of the ti me. be-

fore this popular entertainment con-formed to the ethics and practices of all leditimate and respected business, winclowS were filled and walls were plastered with pictures that were bait to draw the crowd —acts that were never‘actually presented. The cir-cus has long since seen the light of reason and good sense —and good business. Its management knows that with what men and animals can do there is enough of wonder and marvel to entertain the public. Here Is the lesson the so-called "revues" should learn. The public eye is vast-ly more delighted by women beauti-fully adorned than by those that for a price are shown naked to their navels and with bosoms unabashed. (Like flowers growing among heaps of unclean Want° and odorous offal were those scenes, in a 'revu e presented in Little Rock, - where women cos-tumed with fabrics into whose deli-cate fibers there had been woven the brilliance of the rainbow, danced in grace and beauty. These are the scenes that for the moment lot their beholders live romance. Thus may we seem to walk in ancient wood-lands, thru cathedral aisles of trees. or look upon fair meadows that are green and festival. Between a. woman in guise so fairylike and one all but stripped and stark there is much thq

same difference that In apparent be-tween a woman who is flowerlike in some sweet and charming frock and one who is a slattern.

"This nakedness on the stage does of course make acertaln appeal. That appel is more or less proportionate to the degree to which individuals composing the audience have in them the elements of the boob, the yokel and the moron. When Ibanez came to describe the tragic end of Gal-lardo, the bull fighter, ho noted the roar of the crowd, enthralled with the renewed conteet between daring man and angry beast la the arena of blood and sand, and then wrote the remorseless words. "There was the real beast". In the moments of a "revue" which should give the great-est shock to propriety there arises -from many throats a deep thunder that is the voice of all that is MIR animal In man. There Is the real Scandal."

Beeping the Dra ma Clean Following the last meeting of. the

Catholic Actors' Guild in New York, The Chicago 'Herald-Examiner came out with this pointed editorial comment on !keeping the drama clean:

"At the Catholic Actors' Guild in Dow York Mayor Walker spoke about the moral tone of certain playa He said:

We have had to attend to the matter of night clubs and we will have to tackle the theater unless a change is made for the better. I am fond of the theater and

think theatrical people are a fine crowd, but if the city administra-tion and the theatrical interests clash on the subject of decency in the theater I can assure you . that the administration will win.

"Mayor Walker can hardly be ac-cused of .being a• fanatio or an old woman. He is an ordinary business man, and, while a strict observer of the law, has many liberal ideas.

"What he says about theatrical in-decencies deserves much credit. The theater has a great influence upon morals, all the more influence be-Callao it is indirect. ,

"It does not preach or lecture. It merely portrays, but' that is the , heat form of teaching.

"It was the manner of teaching made use of by the Nazarene, of whom it is said that He 'snake °air in parables'. , s "It is better to draw a picture than

to draw a moral.

"There is a clase of people who hold that anything that la unpleasant or vulgar is necessarily neal. But they are mistaken. A thing does have to offend one's sense of decency in order to ho realistic. The books and flowers on the library table are Just as real as the garbage can in the kitchen. And for one to say that the garbage can is trtqh while the library table is a falsehodd Is absurd. ' "One who has seen a good eat of

the theater will have never known of a play that was permanently success-ful that tras immoral. People are In-curably (recent and after a while any-thing that is immoral loses out. "Good theatrical managera know

this. Such plays‘sa 'Able% Irish Roast tightnin'• and 'Rip Van Win-kle', while they do not rate very high as theatrical art, yet hold their long sway because they are fundamentally wholesome and human. "New York is the theatrical center

of Christendom. It has 69 first-class theaters against fewer than a score in either Paris or London. The plays beginning there go out into all parts of the country and even to foreign countries. • "It is necessary, therefore, that the .

.

theatrical art be kept sweet and eound ,at its fountain spring. 'n'Intelligent managers and an in-telligent public are the best censors, but if they fall to perform their duties other and more -vigorous Cen-sorship may have to be displayed. "If they are displayed and if some

pen mocatching managers insist on exhibiting such performances for their temporary gain, they have only themselves to blame If in desperation

communitythe moral element of the turns to the censorship idea. "It is a situation which common

sense and a knowledge of public taste can cure. It is not to be cured by fan-tastic propaganda nor by violent methods. "The theater is an established in-

stitution and has Its place. It amuses and instructs the public. Risque Pays and sexual naughtiness are not in favor with the American public. "Plays calculated to startle us by

their vulgarity are not the kind that we enjoy nor the kind we wish to seo exert their influence upon the rls-_Ire generation.'

Fred Stone's Clean Shows

In direct contrast to the purveyors of filth Is Fred Stone. whose clean

*40.000 a week, says Fred business manager, and capacity houses every night, in the heart of Godless Gotham. • "If the Amgen et sin are gilded opulence on Broadway, so too are the wages f virtue, Cross", the purest musical comedy of the decade, continuos to pack 'em in for eight performances a week, on a Broadway Ilnediwith footlight bagnios and peo-pled "with the interpreters of/glamor-ous sin. , "'Criss Cross' Is merely the latest clean comedy of the Stone which, for some quarter of a century. has gone on placidly serving up its brand of sanitary humor, regardless of changing stage styles. "While other stars pleaded the

commercial necessity of dirt, the Stones have gone on getting rich on cleanliness. 'What is the reason? "'There's a market for one clean

show a season,' says Prod, 'and we're filling it. It all Broadway turned clean —well, I don't know. Maybe clean shows would pay, and maybe they wouldn't' "The sox shows draw on two dig-

tinet elements of the public, he be-lieves —the Europeans in New York and the American buyers and big business men who flock to New York from all the States. "The Stone brand of comedy sells

to a different public —the great American family. Fred Stone explains that his find

work on the boards was with the varlety.shows of the '90s, which were great family institutions. During the '90s he formed partnership with Dave Montgomery, whose memo was in-separably linked with his thereafter. "Stone developed his peculiar tiro

of clowning to please young and old alike, just as in his circus days ho had delighted Infants and their el-ders. And he never has let other profile's standards change him. "In the first place, Fred Stone has

seen scarcely any plays except his own. The first musical comedy he ever saw was the first be played in. Ile had no preconceived ideas of the publics taste. Ito has never seen a sex play, and says ho never will. "'Where I can't take the kids./ I

don't go' he declares. 'And a show my own kids can't witness I certainly don't put on. There aren't many

:mom on Broadway that mothers can trust their youngsters with. And since I've children of my own, I've always felt that the kids who cape to my theater had been trusted to me. And mothers found cu rl was sate, and that's why our matinees are riots of giggling.' shrieking children.' 'Dorothy Stone, her father's mini-

ature shadow and costar, agrees with him. 'Our audiences are different,' she says. 'When one looks out over a pit full of children and dads and mothers, one gets a thrill that tho average Broadway audience can't give. Sometimes the children giggle so loudly that we laugh too, and al-most lose our cues:"

"Damns" HaVe Had Their Day *alter Prichard Eaton. In "Baker's

Drama-Gram", contributes a little symposium of his own on the subject Of profanity. It reads:

"When Bob Acres predicted that damns have had their day, he was certainly a had prophet Our etas') in this present year of grace is in-undated with profanity.

"I well remeraber the first 'God damn' that was spoken on the New Yon{ stage. It was in a play by Clyde Fitch. produced just after his death, called 'The City. The era of the Way with a punch' had begun and Fitch woe, I fancy, a little stung s' by the success of various dramas less l skillful and leas truthful than his plays, which attracted attention by their sensationalism. So he deliber-ately set out, in 'Tho City.' to write a play with a punch, and he proposed to outpunch the best of them.

"That was the reason, and the only reason, he put in the hitherto ta-booed oath. Be put it la to startle and shock his audience. And that is the solo and only reason for 99 out of every 100 oaths on the stage to-

day. But, because most of us now In private conversation are much freer in expresaloh than we were even 10 years ago, and because we have become so accustomed to curs-ing on the stage, we are no longer shocked and startled by the expres-sion Fitch used.

"to shock and startle us the dra-matists have to resort to much stronger expressions, to words and terms that are either Elizabethan or of the lowest gutter. And they are so doing. You don't need to go down to a Bowery dive any longer to hear vulgar phrases and obscene profan• lty. All you have to do is to go to the Betas«. Theater, or almost any other theater for that matter. "I would not seent to imply that

profanity on the stage is invariably used merely to startle and shock, and hence to gather in the coin from the boobs who like to to startled nod checked. In 'What Price Glory'. for example, and in certain plays by Eugene O'Neill, which are obviously deeply sincere plays. I think the pro-fanity Is used solely to create the Il-lusion of reality, and in the former play. certainly, I think it was almost °treatise', to some extent at least, In the creation of .illusion. - "O'Neill 's plays generally could gat along quite as well without it the O'Neill doesn't think so. For even in the most realistic of' dramas no author,' even ioday. would dare to put in all the things his characters would say In real life. His language is a compromise with reality. If be can suggest low life without resorting to the grossest expressions of low life, he has accomplished his purpose without offending. Bis task becomes one of drawing the line at the point where ho makes his point, without overstepping. As I say, I think in 'What Price 'Glory' some profanitY had to go in, because profanity is the life breath of the professional

"The suggestion that a curb be put on stage profanity possesses many elements of merit, remarks 'Tho New York Telegram'. but ir hopee that the reform will co me from the producers and the actora rather than thru legal prohibition or police regulation. 'The Telegra m' thus presents the other aide:

"'In the matter of when to swear or curse on the stage the conscience of the playwright.' the producer and the actor should be the guide, not the personal opinion of the police man or the clergyman,'"1

Channing Pollock Accuses

In an article headed "Mr. Pollock Accuses". published 'some ti me ago in "The Shrine Magazine", Channing Pollock said in part:

"I hold no brief for the typo of 'high-brow' sterility, acclai med by self-appointed authority with no bet-ter purpose than to indicate its own superior mentality. X am not inter-cited-in the kind of plaY urged 11)• academic minds, listed by the Drama League, and six months forgotten when it is awarded the Pulitzer Prize To me dull intelligence is as bad and as dangerous as entertaining vul-garity, and no play that does not entertain and excite and bring about emotional reaction in an adult audi-ence can possibly be a good play. The desertion of the dra ma by a largo class is to be attributed to nothing more than the clamorous insistence that in art nothing Is beautiful but misery and nothing fine but unintel-ligibility. The renascence of dra-matic art does not rest with these people.

"It rests with 'the tired business man', and the club woman, and the man and woman in church and uni. varsity and book/lined ho me, and with the children'in the schools. It depends upon 00r ability, thru club, school, church, book, newspaper and magazine, to convince this' public that fine things can be as entertain-

Inc as vulgar things, that the drama is to be taken seriously, that the theater is an influential institution and that they had better co me out and vote. Once we have created the demand there will no difficulty in creating the supply. Tho present theater, with Its appeal to Peeping Toms and Laughing Jackasses, may or may not continue to exist, but if it does it will be considered the thea-ter no more than 'Old Sleuth la con-sidered literature or the chromatic comicalitiee of 'Pa's son-ln-Law' are considered art.

"Unless I am much mistaken. de-mand and supply aro in this making. Since 1922 I have traveled thousands of miles in A merica and spoken to millions of people. I find Me mphis and Atlanta a. d Utica and Salt bake City rather tired of taking anything the speculators in New York care to send; rather weary of having to do without entertain ment, or to choose between motion pictures and second-rate companies in third-rate plays; rather wide awake to the fact that if they can build libraries and endow orchestras they can bring to their

stages pretty much any kind of play they want. Perha m that weariness may account for the fact that 'the road is shot to pieces'. W ho knows? It may even account for that 'limited public for fine things'. Isn't it pos-sible that ;I, public beyond these limits has retired to its libraries in despair of getting' those things bY buying exiMnsive seats in tu mble-down 1heaters run fro m New York?

"Certainly, all over the country there is a now interest in a new kind of theater. I find 'dramatic associa-tions' studying and producing plays in schools and churches . . . cre-ating demand and supply. I find teachers and preachers discussing and recom mending certain things that j come to the local theaters.

"So me day the moving spirits in these 'dramatic associations' may dineover that. If it is possible for each of a thousand little theaters to Pay $40 for 'Mixed Pickles', it is equally possible for all of the m to Pay $40,000 for "rho Show', that fine now play of Ontincorthy'a, which it is unlikely that any com mercial man-agement will bring to A merica. Some day they may discover that if one grime can pay $200 to a small)" skilled coach, the lot can pay any price to support a central office and a traveling staff of expert dramatists and directors and technicians. W hen they do, will not their managers, authors, actors: and public begin to grow on what they feed and feed on what they grow? Will not the moult be new managers, authors and actora and a new public, educated to want and demand sotidething beyond 'Mixed Pickles', or -even beyond 'Cradle Snatchers' and 'The Shanghai Ges-ture'?

"Move ments of this kind are epi-demic. They compel emulation even where there is not understanding or aspiration. W hile the Theater Guild was still an idealistic group, its chief benefit was not that It produced in-telligent plays for as many people as could crowd into the Garrick Thea-ter, but the effect of seeing the m crowd. Tho most com mercial man-agement that ever traded with a ticket speculator and the most illit-erate management that over boasted of never having read a book has only to be shown that there is moro money in Hauptmann than in Hopwood to feel that Ufannelo' may be al most an worth while as 'The De mi-Virgiti. The excuse of these men is that 'We give the public what it wants.' An excuse also for the sale of drugs and -wo men that may become a boast of traffic in paintings and first editions. Personally I have little hopo of these venders, but with the coming of the new crowd they will cease to matter.

"Finally production of the now kind may bring down 'overhead' and other costa to a point at which the

theater may be supported by a 'li m-

ited public', and again may ho pos-sible for people without expense accounts or an expansive trade in cloaks 'and suits. Managera who do not attempt to lure the traveling salesman 'en the loose' may not lind It necessary to locate lu minous thea-ters on that now Bowery that Is 42d street and Itroadway. There is still reason to hope for a theater / whose tickets will be sold to the pub-lic nt the price at which seats for drama are now sold to cut-rate dealers instead of at the price at which seats for intimate revelations or the brothel aro now sold to speculators."

England Moves To Clean Silage

"TFhien aCllhy ritshteiarne iSs ctiehnisc ee dMMit oorniiatlo rf"r oimn I

regard to England's action toward / cleaning the stage: "A change is announced in the

hitherto existing system of licensing for a nu mber of theaters and muslo hails in London. This change is to Pro mote morality by letting in the purifying air of publicity and critl• cla m upon the hitherto dark cham-bers of the licensing authority. It applies to 40 playhouses within 'the parlia mentary boundaries of the cities of tendon and 'Westminster l and the boros of Finsbury and I Marylebone. the tower hamlets, Lam- i both and Southwark.' These play-houses are licensed annually by the lord chamberlain, an official of the crown, who has discretion over the m under an act of parlia ment passed in 1843. The syste m differs from that applicable to the remaining 560 theaters and music balls in England, d which are licensed by local authori-ties -sitting in public so that any ' objections can be discussed in open court, 11

"Tho matter has been taken up by a useful body calling itself the London Public Morality Council, of which the bishop or tendon is the president. This body has pointed out that go long as the licensing of any considerable nu mber of playhouses • remains in the hands of a singles official who sits I private, critics aro nt a disadvantage. They ha m no protection against prosecution for libel that may be contained in repro-a;ntations they may find it their duty to make in the public interest. They have also no opportunity of sifting by cross-examination the charges that are made against the m.

"For these reasons the Public) Morality council has urged that the tribunal for th., licensing of all Lon-don playhouses should be the Lon-don county council, since this would insure public discussion hi all dis-puted cases. This suggestion has since been rejected by the govern-ment on the ground that since, under the existing law, all plays have to be passed by the lord chamberlain be-fore they can be produced, it fellows that to transfer the licensing of the places where the plays are staged to another authority would duplicate machinery unnecessarily.

,"One Important point, however. has been conceded, It is that the lord cha mberlain will in future, on the occasion of the annual renewal of playhouse ..:enses, permit anyone, who desires to complain about, any particular theater or music hall to come before hi m for this purpose. It has still to be seen how this will work in practice. Tho concession has been warmly welcomed, however, '

EvENTS are recalling the days of the thrilling melodrama. days vividly remembered by MI but the yotlager

Fewever, one deem not need these recent appropriations of former favorites to prove that public :taste has varied little yeah the lapse of the extravagant melo-drama.

brothers, born in Columbus, 0. They had to make their way when 18 and 14. respectively. They connected some way with the theater and when still young were writing melodramas and, a little later pro:hieing them. When Charl es was SS. tssd brothers had a theater of their own in Now York, were the lessees of a half dozen, others in Eastern cities, Ind 14 companies in their productions and Charles was rated at a good deal more than a million, while the income of the brother was said to be moro than 1100,000 a year. Among the playa they produced, many of which they wrote, were Nellie, the Reantifeel Cloak Model; Bertha. the Sewing Machine Girl; Across the Pacific, Child Slaves of New York and Hine of the Opium Ring, all thrillers. Charles wrote most of the Man n IllaYa and Harry took leading parts in there and devised the mechanical effects for the climax «. 81111 another Western writer, producer

and actor who bad a vast public was Hal Reid, father nf the late Wailaco Reid of moving picture distinction. Hal Reid for e, number of years played an-nual engagements at the theaters thru-out the West. His Wading woman was Mrs. Reld, known to the stage as Bertha Belle Westbrook°. Ile wrote both realistic melodeitna and more quiet, homely plays, but always of a dean, human character, The greatest' of his successes were Human Hearts.

this class of play. and perhaps the most worthy from an artistic standpoint was Victorien Sarehat. who had an

formula on which ho merely played variations. Sarah Bernhardt pro-duced nearly all of his later playa in France and the American -eights, with two exceptions, were contracted by Fanny Davenport. In addition to the invention of ambitious plots, Sardou chose sub' lacis suitable for pictorial elaboration, and some of his production:. were im-posing spectacles.

Lillian Olcott a beautiful, moder-ately talented, but widely known actress, procured the rights to Thcdora, and-toured the country ils semi-historical play. In this play there was supposed to be a cage of liens. Wes Olcott carried the cage, but no lions. For the purposes :of realism, she was induced to expert. ment with Great Dane dog, which strongly resembled our mountain lions. But the deg had taken a fancy to the actress. and in his bier scene managed to wriggle through the bare of his cage and promptly put his bead in the lap Mize Olcott, who nt the time was sitting on a property stump.

too many of those old J, plays to enumerate here. They were

mostly crude and inartistic, they were clean. Charles E. Blaney once said: "We keep away from all sex Stuff. :We keep our morals straight. We pre-sent nothing that would lead a boy to disregard law and decency, but rather we strive to inspire in hint respect for tight and for manly qualities." And that was true ot all these old writers of mete-dramne• They gave un vinalna but they punished them plenty, as we demanded. And this is vast generally true of melo-dramas in the moving pictures. The mushy sentimentality and oblectioneble morals of the alms do not come through our North:vest or ranch plays, but from those that depict wholly dattererla phases of life.

player. It W1111 Booth's Ha mlet, Othello, Torres *. Xing Lear or Garrick's Richard HI, much more than it was Shakespeare& 'And Shakeal*nre hi mself was kept alive as a vehicle rather than an a play-wright Fro m Betterton den*, each enCeeeding generation in the English and Arnerlean theater centered Its major Interest on Hie star Instead of the play. Accordingly, it Was Flooth'n perfor mance that lasted as a me mory, and not the play that Shakegpeare wrote. The very atidleneee that took the playa for granted apparaittly * Ter tired of watehlng each In n performer With n. Jealous and alert Interest as he made hit "p elts". They ca me to the theater much as the Creeks had come, eXcept that Where the Creeks focused their attention upon a dra matist as he made his "points" by the retelling of a popular legend, these older English-speaking audiences riveted theirs upon an actor as lie made his 'pointe" on et popular hilt M ythical ,Shakespeare. Certainly their interest could not have centered on the pre:eduction they eat before, because, with the eteeptIon of the nay the Meg* Win Peopled with sUpernu merarles. Cer-

tainly for al most a full 100 years the settings could have attracted little notice, for actor-managers lavished their money on panteini Mes and akiniped on Shakespeare, because they knew thelr own na mes were enough .te fill a hOlities Ann, surely, too, (ho !edit- Muni sta mp or the director was of no Important*, because the actor managed his own ebUSInente. and, needless to say. managed It to his own advantage, so that the per-

"Showmen" in the Theater A. L. ERLANGER in Nod York Thele.

H E high position the theater hawattained in tinta country at the present rr day as a place of entertainment and amusement, and, in soma lesser degree, as an educator. It owes entirely to the so-called commercial

manager.. I am proud te write my own name in that category. Once upon a time they called un "showman", and I confess I like that title. I think it means a great deal. Obviously a "showman" is a man who "gives show,"' who make, that his business. Ho le not a real-estate dealer. If he buys land. It in to build theaters on ht. And if he builds theaters, it la not to see how big o, rental he can get for the m, but to "give shows" in thom -to present pia)" in them. That -the prtmentatlen of playli -IS first A M foremost hie burvin eti. and. If he Is a genuine "new* man" it is his picasUre. toe. Augustin Daly was a "showman" and et) Was éharlei Hrohman, and dozens of others like hint were and are.

There aro many persons -doctors. lawyer°, preachers, dry goods mer-chants, bankers, what not -all outside the theatrical butIness, who think that they know how to run theaters much better than the "sho wman" wilts has spent all hia life elneratIng the m. W hy? A In ner, a very prominent lawyer, was in my office not long ago. We talked of varlous things, and after a while he began to tall me how Interested he was in the theater. how be never missed a first night if he Could help it, and finally. inevit-ably, he launched into a tirade against She kind of plays that are being presented and the methods that are being used to exploit thorn. I listened to hi m until he had Quito neighed. "Now," I said. "Mr. you have known mo for many years and you know that I have had a lot of ex-perience In the courts na a litigant--rnuct more experience than I Ul m, Well, It you had an important lawsuit on hand, or maybe one that was not $o very Important, would you ever think for a moment of coming here and asking me to handle your case in court?" "No, I wouldn't." said he, "And yet YOU do come here and tell me how to run my busi-ness." He went away with a thoughtful look on Ms face. I havh seen hi m since, but ho has given me no more lessons in "show manship".

This man -and there are hundreds like hi m -la a mincero lover of , the theater. I haven't e doubt, and ho would like to see it developed Into

a bigger and finer Institution than It Is. So would every real showman. Hut it is the show man and only the showman who will do the' develop-ing, and these lovers of the theater can only assist the good work by upholding this type of manager and encouraging blill In his efforts to insures% the Institution he has founded and built up.

No real or lasting good can be accomplished by thee. Well-wishers of the theater In lending their influent* and their pocketbooks to es-tablish the gporadle enterprises that are becoming moro and more numerous.-the "groups". variously na med, that present plays of arsine curious kind in cellars or old barns or rooms of any sort they can lay their hands on. Such enterprises are and can only be shortlived linlees tho very showmanship they affect to ignoro in the beginning cornos to

"Showmen" in the Theater (Continued fro m ornoens floe)

their retie » and places them upon a safe foundation in alliance with the despised commereinl theater. Most of the plays they m'o sant nre worth-less and have been refused over and over ,again by the commercial man. agora. A. tow of them leave later found their way somehow or other into the large theater'', and, with possibly two or three exceptions, have relies miserably, proving the correctness of the taste or instinct of the show. mon who had previously declined to produce thorn.

No play that for really worth while can be properly produced except in a property equipped theater and by an experienced showmen. The dramatists know this. They never fall to offer their work first to the commercial manager, and it t, only after he has refused it that they allOW it to be "done" as best it may be by ono of the "groups". A. certain well-

known playwright sent ano Ills latent play only a few days ago. said exulto frankly that a "group" in which he himself was Interested to » me extent wee eager to present the play, but that he realized that It required a much larger stage and a much more costly and elaborate production than they could give it -auch a stage and such a production us only a. ebnimereal manager, could command. Ile wished, too. to insure for his work a larger audience then a y theater open to his "group" could hold.

For, after all, the dra matists. say what they may. are not writing for the mere fun of the thing or because they feel the urge to give the wor m their inspires thought.. They want their royaltles -as many of them ea they Can get -and they know It Is only from the aromorei n manager that they can a pe to get the m big and sure. I don't blame them at all for that. They are entitled to their royalties -to a fair share of whatever their plays may bring In. But I do blame them for not buckling to and writing the kind of plays that will bring in big re-ceipts. InIfteitd of frittering away their time on the faddieh, bisarro things that the commercial manager blown the public will not have and that only the "group" will try on its small and select clientele.

The "groups" do servo their purpose. They runnels a small cla m of theatergoers with the kind of entertainment they want and that the commercial manager, will not provide for them. It la said, toe, that they often afford an opportunity to some young actor or «Wre n to show the talent the commercial managers have not before recognized. That may he true, and it it is I for ene- and I believe all commercial manager. will Min with me -thank sincerely any "grou t that discovers a new Mar. W e need them, as many as we earl get. In the commercial theater.

I have said before, and I wish to repeat as often and as emphatically guy I am allowed to do it, that in my opinion the com mercial theater in this country -the only theater in any country that le worth talking about -is all right today, and that It is on its way to greater and greater prosperity. That prosperity, which will bring With It more g ad playa to entertain the subtle as well as bigger receipts in the box offices, win be reached all the more quickly if all the well wieners of the theater, Includ-ing the dramatists mid the "groups", will Only out their shoulder to the wh eel along with the real "showmen" -the managers of the commercial theater.

in Ste ;Nob-Tame Anti then in Barnu m's progra m flotta each year ap-peared thin notice: "The gentle men having charge of My advertising de-part ment will address a letter. containing tickets, to OnCh of the clergy of Avery deno mination, resident In the towns where we exhibit, which will ad mit the m and their wives, free of charge, to puy entire co mbination of edhibitions. It someti mes happens. Tovrever. that my agents are npt able to procure the na mes of all the resident skrgy. Should any be drained. they will receive a cordial Wei mar) by * Wing either on me In person or

on in; treasurer. at the ticket wagon, any ti me before or during the en-tertain ment. M y exhihitiorm contain nothing that profa ned Gliriatlans do not approve.' Tho he gaV0 passes liberally to clergymen; and to editors -and for the latter he so meti mes supplied transportation fro m their distant ho mea---Barnu m told others that "wo never home ono to the big show except to edItOrP, clergy men or orphan ahylu me, or to persons who render us equivalent service In so me way." Go had printed a card which he handed to those who bothered hi m for free passes, that read..

In those days there were no onager given. Search the Scriptures. "Thou shalt not pass." -Nu mbers ix, IS. "Suffer not a roan to pass.".......Tudge• III, 28. "The wicked shall no more pass.",--Nahtun 1, 15. "This generation strati not pass." - Mark VIII, 30. "Bewar0 that thpu pass not."--.2d Kings vi, b. "The m shall no strangers Dit&S."-.-A MO8 Ill, 17. "NelthOr any son of man pass." -Jere miah II, 43.

Is the World's Fair Forgotten?,

(Prom " Trail Blazon of M u mble r. by Chalmers Laura Panama)

TI M M8 are thousands of people in tag Country still talking about the W orld's Fair, or Colu mbia Exposition. held in Chicago in 1E9E. Thirty-three years ago It was the most spectacular publicity event

the people of M e country had over beheld. It was an event that glori-fied the State and County fairs. It gave this country a publicity for mula; It created a desire for carnivals and excite ment fro m which it has never recovered. If M I don't believe this. %Ant the County Pair of today.

One of the lu g outstanding (estates at tie"' W orld's Fair was the superb Perris wheel —the sensation of the nation. It was a gigantle, n alencintle and fa-renclang suttees.

At that tu no the W orld's Fair was the great national publicity stunt t at made the Windy City known to millions. Ro me PeePle leave never been the m &nee, but they haven't forgotten the big event of their lives. •

As an adverthe ment its value is still recognized. A few years ago M arshall FIeld Sr Ca nnat a (ato ne ag e. con tai publicity stunt. 30th anniversary of the W orld's Pala An exhibit of relics and souvenirs possessed an advertising value that was astonishing.

Marshall Plaid ek Co mpany proved that reviving Memories was good advertleilng —themmede of people crowded Into the exhibit to zee the pictures end exhibits that recalled many me mories of the greate n none Chicago ever hold.

A replica of tile Court of Honor, with a. real 1893 Colu mbian guard In uniform, revived the old spirit of the great fait

hu a big Chicago store wanted to got out' the Faris of I t es well as the generation that missed the big sho w. It was advertised ex-a nerrelY. li ne's a sa mple of the CO Mr;

"Thirty years ago tho W orld's Pair marked ti, ne w epoch In the tit re progrees in beauty. It Drought to Chicago the Field Colu mbian M useu m. It added to the vainahleecollectIon of the Art Institute, It gave inaplration for better architecture. It gave birth to the Chicago Beauti-ful Plan.

'This Institution has reflected the artistic, progress no less than the com mercial growth of the city. The cit ra spirit, It., enterprise. Its beauty, are embodied in the ideals of M arshall Field Sr Company!'

Crowds la m med the exhibit to see what happened back in 1591. People crowded eagerly and excitedly about the wax figure In a glass case, and marveled at Ole waen-liko warn of the white satin costu me worn by Mrs. Potter Pal mer at the first nationally advertised society brill.

Thera was a panora ma photograph sho wing thou sands of Pair visitore dancing, the then very Ray Ponta, at this sa me sensational ball.

There were memory-stirring pictures of a pe, M art Cannibal, and Wild Men; Turks and Indians an d Chinese, and scene, fro m all parts of the world.

Men and wo men who were young In 1893, when the W o nt.' Fair flourished. beca me young again a/3 they flowed into the exhibit filled with pictures, progra ms. medals and other ti me-tinted me mentoes of 30 yearn age.

Hundreds of thrilled apectaters crowded into the Spanish booth to soe tho sword that Queen Isabella carried. A miniature replica of the casket

Net Christopher Colu mbus. with it. doors within goort, and lis fa mous tar n locks, each with a different key, held by a different man, was a popular exhibit.

The exhibit clearly de mons entod to this generation b at important tho W erld'n.lrair was to 11.000,000 men an allevem I en who responded to

its nation-wide advertleIn tapteeal and helped R ake It a success —then.--and new.

'The busy world forgets many things —crowded out by moro recent events. Hut there are acme advertised affairs that stick to the me mory like bu n.

Marshall Field Sr Company proved conclusively that big and burly Chicago could not forget the big advertising noise made about the W orld's Fair.

It was like a skyrocket, whose brilliant éolers of fire had pained itself Into the brains of millions. It was the fireworks of all publicity at that LI MO.

Its quaintness and curious people. Ion Mare of...tru mpets. Its Imerning cannons of publicity and word-of- mouth shouting was heard around and all over the world.

It was A merica's first and greatest advertising W arn e. Its adver-tising was hunt mion thn red passion of exelLing and thrilling ma nes — a form of adverthring never forgotten.

The German Circus Revisited By O. M. SEIB T

BERL/N, Dee. 25. —About three years ng0 I wrote in these colu mns of the Gor man circus and said that Ilene. Schu mann. Busch and astringent may bo leaned milestones in the history of the German circus. A urea( change has since come over this country, which then was lust out of the worst inflation peei.. od any country hen ever experienced. The paper mark was none, but the terri-ble after-effect, were very much in evi-dence, and show business as a whole was in bail shape. Today It looks dif-ferent Show business. Ilse the industry, has recovered, there is a- marked prog-ress evident in every line of the enter-tain ment world, so much so that the re-vue has crippled vaudeville and jazz triu mphs over Richard W agner. But the General circus alone re mains

true to tradition, and the fact that Ger-many today has MOIR circuses than France, England and tho rest of the European States put together, speaks volu mes. The past tenting season has seen more circuses on the road than ever before, including such giants as Krone. Sarrasani, Ilagenbeck. Strass-burger, Gleleh. Saru m, etc. Every One of these is a striking exa mple of show-manship. John RInglIng, who was In town when Krone opened his Berlin sea-son In Septe mber last, was attained when he approached the targe tent on Kaiser Alleo, and Col. Joe C. Miner told the

writer that he got the surprise of Ills life when he went to Dresden to look over the Se nnett & Circus. Both A meri-can circusmen evidently expected to see so mething on the old-faehloncel lines. fleeced they found the most modern

circus that can be Imagined. equally ap-plying to Krone and Sat-meant. the One tinder canvas, the latter in a stone build-ing holding 5,000 people." Kronen ca-pacity is %veil over 10.000. and his menag-erie la a complete zoo on wheels, with so me of the rarest ani mals in captivity. beside, an enormous nu mber of trained wild ani mals and elephant,. But while Krone spends fortunes on

wild ani mals and takes a fancy in hav-ing everything on the biggest scale, the blue ribbon of show manship undoubtedly goes to Sa misen' when it comes to this point. Sa nger% who went to South A merica in uns. just when the inflation was at its worst, and returned to this Country Just when the after-effect of the inflatton was at it. height, is a self-made man, having started his career in vaudeville with a very small ani mal act

as a clown, earning 275 a month salary. Soon he managed to start his own circus with three horses and a number of dogs. Today Sa n/maid hae the finest circus In

Europe, Ills show would be a revelation to

The trouble with even the best cir-cus here is of course the general tight-ness of money among tho masses. Con-sidering the high nu mber of une mployed and the limited spending power of the public on account of low earnings, it can-not but surprise when so many big shown like Krone, Sorensen' and the rest man-age to Cover expense, and even make e. prof It. The complaint of undue co m-petition thru playing the sa me towns te heard often enough, but only a natural consequence with so limited n territory and so many circuses traveling over the su m mer. In fact, there are too many circuses In Germany these days. Before the war, when Cierrnner was far bigger th t day (Alsace-Lorraine,- parts of r •rt P Ea a d Lo • r SII t ) the country liad about half the number of traveling circuses than today, with the three-ring circus of today totally un-known. If there will be a change next season. It will be the change from three rings to tho one ring. Krone was the find to install the

three-ring syste m, with Straesburger, (Belch following twit Sacrament never adopted the A merican syste m. neither di Hagenbeck. Beech nee Schu mann. It appears that else novelty of (he three-ring circus has gone, as far as this country is concerned, and that the next season will see at least one of the big cir-cuses returning to the old style. With our knowledge of all the reputa-

ble circuses of Europe It is no exaggera-tion to say that the Ger man circus of to-day la equal toettny one on the globe, et least regarda showmanship, quality of entertain ment and' technical equip ment.

The program just off the press in a wonderful piece of work, much credit for which is due M. S. Lazarus, who had charge of the makeup. The book eon-tains 150 pages (mostly advertising) and grossed $30.000. The cover is in three colors and contains the picture of the young term of Chief of Police H. Ia. QUIgit in full Miami pollee uniform. Twenty-two acts are listed in the program and nro very elaborately and Moroi), de-eeribed, the work of W. btelt Bailsman. who is -handling all publicity for the show.

A invade is being arranged for tile opening day and, from present indications. It will be the biggest thing of the season. A departure will be made from the usual circus procession and all civic and fra-ternal organizations have been invited to parade, as well as four riding academies. whose horses will add greatly to the ap-pearance of the affair.

Fifty motor. cycle policemen will lead off, followed by 100 patrolmyn on foot. with four bandit marching at intervals thrunut the >wade. Another feature will be the Scotch High-lander Band furnished by Piper Mac-Leod with the Stratus Sisters as special attactiona those debar youngsters were laid year with the Sella- Moto Circuit
