svpiONS Of ytD Ansusenoent bifi an

BpRIES «b A A politiriaii tells of an experience that AuKUstu-; Thoma.s. author of The

Witching Hour, had with Kinny t’onner.s, the chairman of the democratic >tate committee of New York;

Mr. Thoma.s, it will be remembered, i.s a Kteat frit-ntl of William Jennin^.s Hryan. and made a flght before the committee to have Mr. Br>’an indorsed l>y the New York Democratic state convention. Feeling ran pretty hi(ifh at the meetinK at which Mr. Thomas spoke, and when he left the room it looked as though he wculd take the fight into the convention Itself and thereby disturb Mr. Conners’ program

to have an uninstructed delegation sent to Denver. The author was standing in the hall after the meeting of the committee on resolutions had adjourned, when Mr. Conners came out.

"Conners came down the hall steaming and looking ver>’ much like a boiled dinner," s<jid the person who overheard the colloquy. “He Is a I great big man. He spotted Thomas and tacked over toward him, his face growing red with rage at each step.

".\nd you’re Thomas?" he steamed. (

."I don’t know your name,” said Mr. Thomas, suavely, "but you’re a good guesser." I

This enraged the Buffalo politician all the more. | "When I see Bryan.” he fumed, “I’m going to tell him that there Is'

sur« ly one - - fool in New York state.” I "When Mr. Bryan see.s you,” said Mr. Thomas, quietly, “he will agree

with you.”

look like a little wooden man, and when I forgot and stuck them Into my pockets the audience applauded again. The manager took that opportunity for a stage whisper:

“Speak up, now,” and he began the first line. Then I said in a strange, hoarse voice:

“I wish I had a little pat. “To dog him on the head.”

(Hoars of laughter. Frantic demonstrations on the part of my family.) 1 began again:

“I wish I had a little pat, "To head him on the dog."

My father rose In his seat. That added to my confusion. Again I e.ssayed:

“I wish I had a little dog, “To head him on the pat.”

Then my weary family took me by the hand and led me home, and my ability as an actor was never questioned by my family from that day to this.

Cliff Wodetzky. better known out in the one-night stand time as “the New York Kid.” relates an amusing Incident that actually happened recently.

“Did you ever attend one of those home talent plays in a town hall? If >ou never did. then the point of the story is lost. Several days ago I related it to a friend of mine In New York, who had never been beyond the city limits, and it did not have much effect.

"In the closing town of Harry Hastings’ Black Crook, Jr., I met a very friendly chap, who was desirous of ’seeing New York,’ and insisted upon going in, and I showing him around for several days. Thinking the theatres. Coney Island. Chinatown, the Bowery, the Ghetto, Staten Island, the Subway and several of the parks would satisfy the young man’s curiosity, and hoping to 'send him on his way a wiser man, I decided to open our tour by attend¬ ing the Friar’s Festival.

"We were no n>ore than seated in the already well-filled house, until niy friend began casting occasional glances over his shoulder. I could easily see he was getting nervous. Just .as the orchestra began playing he Inquisitively inquired If the audience was composed of show folks.

“I a.'-sured him the majority were in the business, and the best in the l.anil were scattered over the house.

"Near the end of the performance he Inquired if all the people taking part in the performance lived In New York. I assured him each and every one of them lived In the city. Nothing more was .said until we were enter¬ ing the Albany Hotel, when I chanced to ask his opinion of the affair, when muih to my utter amusement, he declared it the best he had ever seen for a local talent.”

Everybody who knows anything about music knows that The Billboard March was written by John Klohr, a young Cincinnati composer of much ability and brilliant promise. The piece has been played at least a million times by the numerous bands and or¬ chestras throughout the country and Its popularity seems never .o dimin¬ ish. The John Church Company re¬ ports that the sales are still enorm¬ ous. both for piano and band arrange¬ ments.

Klohr tells of one time when he at¬ tended a concert by Sousa’s Band at the Cincinnati Zoo. Directly in front of -him sat two women of the par¬ venu type, whose comments on the variou.s numbers rendered were ex¬ tremely amusing to Klohr and the members of his party. They character¬ ized the selections from Trovatore as “cute” and a Wagnerian creation as “pretty.” The climax was reached, however, when one of them said: “Why don’t Sousa play The Billboard? It’s the best thing he ever wrote”

William Heed Dunroy. better known as “The Nebraska Poet." now general western press agent for the Shuliert.s. tells the following amusing story of his first and only attempt to become a star:

“At the age of seven. I made my debut before a large audience In a very fashionable club house in Lin¬ coln. Nebraska. My deluded but lov¬ ing family, who had egged me on to this sacrifice, were mostly with me in the dressing room; they wanted to be sure that my bangs did not fall over my eyes and obstruct the view of my mother, father, aunts, uncles, and cousins in the reserved seats directly

sure you make a nice bow."

and my father

In 'runt. .'S’ow, William.” .said my mother, "be 'You bet I will.” said 1. with a swagger.

"•Vnd let your hands fall easllv by vour side, like thi '•'f k an altitude.

"Of course,” said I. Are you sure you know your piece?" said my sister. Yep,” .said I, and I recited the first two lines:

"I wish I had a little dog. "To pat him on the head."

'That’.s right, he’ll do splendidly." remarked my mother. “You will 8 '!> In a minute now. and we must get Into our seats. Don’t he scared ® William."

Who’s scared?” said I. an«l at the same time 1 began to feel a sinking o e knees, while my heart began to rise until It was up in my mouth, and ' -omeliody was pushing n>e forward, and 1 saw a lot of faces, not one

•hich 1 could recognize, and it was lighter than any electric searchlight ' 1 liad ever seen.

"Speak up, now," said the manager. “Make your bow and say >x)ur I e."

I made my bow and the audience applauded, but 1 had ditficulty in ■ling my tongue. .My hands hung down, as father suggested, making me

As an example of the Intensity to which a melodrama audience can be worked the following is not without value: J. E. Miltern, a famous melo¬ drama “villain.” was playing in The Fatal Wedding. At the end of one of his most brutal scenes there fell upon the stage what looked to be a bouquet of fiowers. He hesitated to go out and pick it up, so a stage hand went for it. It was a woman’s bonnet. A little old lady in the first row, in her excitement and anger, had thrown it at him.

In his play last season, there was a scene where he choked a woman. He was berated for this by another character. Whereupon he answered be¬ tween puffs of his cigar, “I’ll choke her. I’ll choke you. I’ll choke any one.” A little boy leaning over the top gallery rail, chin upon palms, shouted back in Miltern’s own voice, “I’m from Missouri, see!”

Miltern has had every kind of fruit and vegetable thrown at him. But the enthusiasm does not stop at that. He was playing in Trenton a couple of seasons ago. In the third row there sat two old people, about 60 years of age, their silvered hair bespeaking tenderness and simplicity. Yet in the midst of a scene the little old man got up and with a curse shouted. "Kill the dirty dog!” This, however, pales before what happened in Chicago. He was choking the heroine when a man jumped up and yelled: “Let go that woman, or I’ll blow your damned head off.” Miltern gave a glance at the man and noted that he had a pistol. The situation was serious. Quickly he whispered to the heroine; "Slap me and slap me hard.” She did not know what he meant, but she slapped and the man down in the audience shouted: “That’s the business.” and subsided long enough for the ushers to remove him from

the theatre.

Colonel Cody (Buffalo Bill) always likes to put one over on Major Burke, his life-long friend and associate, and who has for many years serxed In the capacity of general press representative of the Buffalo Bill

Wild West. Shortly after the return of the

show from its European tour. Colonel Cody one day said to The Stroller:

"Say. by the way! have you met Major Burke, one of the best fellows on earth? And did you notice that big scar on the side of his face? He wouldn’t take a million dollars for that scar. It made a great hit over in Germany, where all those Heidel- bergers are m.arked up with scars of sword duels. I thought the major had a stiff neck over there. He kept his face twisted around like a soldier at the command of ’left, dress.’ These Germans thought that he must have been in a terrible duel to get such a scar as that. And over in this country he passes it off as the mark of an Indian battle.

"Now, here is an unpublished story. The real facts are that when the mjijor was a bov he was turning a grlniLstone for an old fellow to sharpen his scythe. The maj»>r got a little tired and .stopped whirling the wheel. The old fellow got mad and struck him across the face with the scythe and made an awful gash. And now the major is so proud over that duel- mark or the scar of an Indian battle that he would not have it eradicated for a million dollars. But the major is all right; best fellow on earth.”

—Notes of the Week.

The theatrical season In Brooklyn has started and it will only be a abort time when all of the twenty-live the- airea In Brooklyn will be open.

In tbe selection of a local manager for his new Crescent Theatre, I’ercy Williams has done well in choosing Lew Darker, who is known from coast to coast as a man well quali¬ fied for the position. For several years past Mr. Darker has b€*en located In Brooklyn, managing, with marked success the Grand Op<*ra House and the Rhubert. Mr. Darker is well versed In mat¬ ters theatrical and has always succeded In mak¬ ing the house with which he was connected de- cldetlly iiopular with tbe tbeatregoing public.

That well-known Brooklyn manager, Charles Seymour, who will be remembered in connection with tbe old Brooklyn Theatre, will this season control the destinies of the Cktlumbia. There is no doubt in the minds of bis friends, that under .Mr. Seymour’s guidance the Columbia will be more liberally patronised than ever before, as he knows everything pertaining to the position he occupies.

Nick Norton, whose long service in the Brook¬ lyn theatrical field has made him a prominent figure, will not pilot the destinies of the Olym¬ pic Theatre this season. He has acetmted the suiierlntendency of the Felber A Shea (Company, which Is as8oclatt>d with Keith A Droctor’s, and which mainlaing a circuit in New Jersey. Mr. Norton has been with Hyde A Behman’s since 1S81, being stationed at various times at tbe Grand Opera House, Bijou, Dark, but principally at the Olympic, where bis intimate knowledge of vaudeville affairs was one of tbe causes that made this a leading playhouse in that field for many years. Before he assumed managerial duties he was a variety |)erformer. He is known from coast to coast in the theatrical world. For the present he will spend considerable of his time In New Brunswick, N. J., where he Is over¬ seeing tbe finishing touches to the Bijou Theatre, a new and pretty playhouse.

Frank Jones, who Is Dercy O. Williams* book¬ ing representative, is now In Europe, where he Is enjoying s rest. .Mr. Jones’ health has been bad for some time and his physician ordered him to take a rest.

Dercy O. Williams has booked Harrison, of The Soul Kiss, for a three weeks’ engagement at bis vaudeville houses. The Zanzics, who have made such a succcas in Europe with their mlnd- readlng act, will also apear at Dercy G. Wil¬ liams’ vaudeville houses this season.

’The best melodrama ever B*“en here was pre¬ sented at Rlaney’s Theatre last week. It was A. H. Woods’ big attraction. The Creole Slave’s Revenge. The play Is a very interesting one and the comedy is one of the best ever seen here at popular prices.

C«*cll S|MH>uer will o|>en the Majestic Theatre next Saturday night, August 22. with ’The Girl and tbe I>ete<-tlve. which will remain at the the¬ atre the following wi*ek. This newest vehicle for the display of Miss Spooner’s versatility is a comedy drama, written b.v Charles E. Blaney and J. Sarle Dawley, In The Girl and the De¬ tective Miss S|MK>ner will present at each i»er- formance a novelty specialty entitled I Can Do That, In which she gives her own spectacular version of the Salome dance, with electrical and sitecial scenic effects.

During the past week, Aaron Appleton, an old- time manager and treasurer, died In this city. Years ago he was employed by Augustin Daly, at the <dd Fifth Avenue Theatre. New York

•City, afterward he became manager for Mary Anderson and Fanny Davenitort. For sixteen years he was connected with the Casino, Manhat¬ tan, and surrendered his position three years ago.

Annie Oakley, the crack rifle shot, who for- mer'y was one of the star features with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Oimiutny, and who In private life is Mrs. Frank E. Butler, established a new rifle record last week at Fr<^ Stone’s residence on Clock Boulevard. Ainityville, Ixing Island.

It Is also rumored that the famous Bbeath or Dlrectolre gown of modern so¬ ciety was Invented by tbe Igorrote women, long before the ladles of Paris ever dreamed of it.

It was a record breaking affair. The scenery and costumes were hustled from wan-house to stage and soon but In readiness.

By far the most sensational surprise of the theatrical season was let out of the hamiier last Monday when Harrison Grey Flske an-

prmluction, under his management, of The Devil. The mere announcement was enough to make the Broadwayltes sit up and dust their goggles. For current history chroni¬ cles the fact that Henry W. Savage had an¬ nounced The lievll as his priqierty; In fact had Kiven It a premiere at Hartford a fortnight since and the billboards told you that Savage Intended putting The Devil In the Garden Thea¬ tre for a run early In September. This was sur prise numiH-r one; number two did not dally far ix'hind, but It made every one take another rub at those self-same goggles. Flske an¬ nounced the prmluctlon for the following night What a smashing of theatrical ethics—no bill IHisting, no press matter, no advertising of any natiire except an unconspicuous, unassuming ad. In the tially press. Then dame gossip took a hitch In her skirts and waddb-d along the av¬ enue In nervous frenxy.

But mort- was to eonie. For two weeks the company, under .Mr. Flake’s direction, had been rehearsing at Tarrytown, ami no one knew It No one knew either that George Arllss ha-l sIlpp<M Into stellar togs and would go on dis¬ play Tuesday night at the Belasco. George Ar¬ llss recently returned from Kugland after a va¬ cation sojourn. Broadway knows him well and yet there la no one on the incandescent street w-ho will tell you of having known that the actor had returned.

The company assembled at Tarrvtown, not a nietniMr except p<>rhap8. the principals, were aware of what they were to play; In fact, most kf •’Ikp*''!- thinking It was a production for blrs Hake. Not alone were they kept In the dark, but the stage mechanics at the Belasco. who built the production, had no intimation of what It was.

The dialogue Is brisk, snappy and full of life aud ginger, and the situations are farcical in their style. The l.vrlcs are by Harry Williams and the music is by Egbert Van .Mstym-, two young writers who have a loyt list of iKipular songs to their credit.

The plot has to do with a fortune hunting English lord, a socially ambitious mother, and a .Tuung American am) bis sweetheart. The mother la buumi her daughter shall marry the bogus lord, but the daughter objects.

WORKED THE SONG OVERTIME.

When Ernest R. Ball went up In the mouu tains for a short vacation, recently, he took with him a phonograph and one record pL song hit. As Ixmg as the World Rolls On. In or¬ der to do some work on the song, which be wanted to bear played over mecbanclally with¬ out the trouble of going to the piano.

When be struck the summer boarding honse about ten miles the other side of civilization, be found a bunch of city girls who were trying to while away the time and were having a lot of trouble to Bod amuxement.

There were no musical tnatniments In the bouse or in the neighbor'jood, ao the moment Mr. Ball started the single record, which he had brought along, to going, they flocked around, begging him to give them a concert, and from that time on this record waa the hardest worked one the phonograph people ever manufactured. If they wanted a waits, the record was brought Into requlaltion; If they wanted a song, the record was again used. The landlady Installed it In the dining-room at meal times In lieu af a dinner orchestra; a young married woman nsed It to Bing the baby to sleep; and finally the last used, which ruffled Mr. Ball's otherwise even dlsposltiou, was when a visiting clergyman wrote a hymn to it and wanted to use It in the Impromptu religious aervlces which they had in the bouse on Sunday. Here Mr. Ball renege'l and taking his phonograph under bis arm, bled himself back to New York City.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.

The Billboard’s advertising patrons

will greatly oblige by sending in the

copy for their advertisement as early

as convenient, instead of waiting till

the last moment. All ads received

early in the week will be given pref¬

erence in position and display. Change

of copy must reach publication office

on Thursday of the week previous to

date of issue.

The park.® are beginning to close theis gates, the wheels of summer merriment are ceasing to revolve, and

the cool nights conduce to The Old the opening of the thea- and tres. The summer is mor- Tlie New, ibund.

Another fortnight will find the autumn season at its height, and the prospects are for the most brilli.'int season in several years.

EDITORIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS p^ERHAPS no single publication has devoted its ■ columns more consistently and more disinter¬ estedly to the profession than has The Billboard. In keeping with an established custom, from time to time special editions are being published, which are devoted to one particular branch of the profession. The big Autumn Number, bearing date of Septem¬ ber 5, will be devoted largely to dramatic creations, and the individuals who make their production possible; to vaudeville artists; to repertoire com¬ panies, etc. It is aimed to reach not only a large part of the profession, but also all booking agents, producing managers, opera house and theatre owners, etc.

fA® e9(% rin rjjf® JJW

opportunity to reach with one effort a larger ■ percentage of persons interested in every branch

of the theatrical profession is seldom equaled by that offered through this big special edition. With a handsome specially designed lithographed cover in five colors, rich editorial material, lavishly illus¬ trated, etc., we believe it will be the best edition of this character ever issued.

vjw

npO performers and vaudeville artists who desire * to arrange for bookings for the ensuing season,

or who desire to exploit their acts, no better avenue for publicity could be selected, and the usual consid¬ eration extended to the profession by its favorite publication will be extended for this big number.

rA® rA® rSfs fA®

IN the matter of lists, routes, and other informa- ■ tion of like character, this number will far overshadow any previous special edition. It is conceded that information of this character has long been The Billboard’s superior attainment, and to the profession its value is fully known.

rA® rA> rA® rA®

T'HIS edition will recommend itself especially to * the advertiser as well as to the profession, for

professional announcements. 35,000 copies will be printed, and the circulation of this number will cover all America, as well as many foreign coun¬ tries. In keeping with a long established custom, no advance in advertising rates will be made, the only suggestion being to have copy reach the pub¬ lication office at an early date.

a* “An Apollo In Bronze,” has long, black, straight hair. Is unusually gracefnl, and Is said to be the only native of the Philippines with a well-developed sense of humor,

William llowanl Taft, who may or may not bold down a chair In the White House, has taken an active Interest in this Intelligent, handsome, barbaric, head-hunting, dog-eating trite* of little brothers of the browner skin, and Prof. Albert K. Jenks, who holds down a chair in the University of Minnesota, has made a thorough study of these odd people, about whom be ah* written a btsik. generally accepted as an authority on tbe subject.

From the taking way he has with his enemies, and his |>enrhant for dog flesh, tbe Igorrote is naturally classed among tbe barbarians, but he Is far from being a savage, since tbe condi¬ tions under which be lives. In tbe pine-clad uplands of Luzon, compel some attention to agriculture, and be has become sufficiently adept in tbe minor arts and sciences to secure gold medals at tbe Portland Exposition of 1906.

Originally brought to this country. In 1905, by Richard Schneldewind, formerly of Detroit, but later a soldier In tbe United States regulars, serving In tbe Spanlsh-American war and tbe Philippine Insurrection, and more recently a civilian attache of the government of tbe Philippine Islands, the Igorrote village has been a sensation at the various expositions, in 1908 and lissl. and was returned to our Paclflc pos- sesslims In the fall of tbe latter year. Tbe group which Is to attend tbe Minnesota State Fair was brisight over In May. 1907, at the direction of the United States Government, and will make Itself as much at home on tbe state fair grounds a* the importation of a vast iiuantlty of native grasses and utensils will iwrmlt.

In the walled village of the Igorrote*. tbe visitors from a distant land will live In their native, grass-thatched huts, with a “rich man’s house” for the chief, and a "fa-wl” for the iKvys and unmarried men; an ”olag” or dormi¬ tory for girls and unmarried women; a “poor man's house,” another of similar type for a young marrlt^ couple, and the ”*-to,” and “Pa- ba-foo-nan.” .w public building. In which Is held tbe tribal ceremonies.

Tbe sartorial system of tbe Igorrote*. Is sim¬ plicity Itself, and tbe eternal feminine will be permitted to watch the Igorrote women weaving the "gee-string.” with which the male Igorrote carefully clothes himself, and the short skirt and queer Jacket, which Is the female Igor- rote’s costume.

Exact location of the Igorrote village at the state fair has not been determined upon a* yet. but the board of managers is disposed to keep the Igorrote village at a considerable distance from tbe Sioux Indian village, which Is to be pitched ojK)n the knoll northeast of tbe mile track. No one knows, by experiment, what might bap|ien if tbe head-hunters and scalp- lifters sbotild Informally fore-gather.

No doubt It will be one of the biggest draw¬ ing cards the Minm-sota State Fair ever bad.

J. H. Roberts, chief of puhlicity, is tbe right man in tbe right place, and did much towards making tbe Great Cosmopolitan Shows popular with tbe masses.

FAIR NOTES.

We are in receipt of the Premium List of the Virginia State Fair, to be held in Richmond, Va.. October 5-10, Inc., setting forth in an attractive way tbe subdivisions of tbe fair, in which premiums aggregating $35,000.00 are offered. In this connection it may be stated that a leading farm Journal (the South¬ ern Planter, August issue) of the Old Dominion, speaks, editorially, as follows of General Man¬ ager Mark R. Lloyd: “We are glad to note that all preliminary work incidental to the holding of a fair which 1* intended to be the greatest agricultural fair ever held in the South, has received the personal attention and super vision of Mr. Lloyd, the general manager, whose experience In work of this kind has been large, and to whom tbe success of tbe last two fairs was largely to be attributed. He is personally known to most exhibitors at fair* and these gen¬ tlemen have always moet highly commended his arrangements, and we cannot doubt but that the same will hold gooil at this fair.’’

At a co.-xt of $4,500, the management of the Louisiana State Fair, has provided s list of free shows for the big fair, which is to be held at Shreveport. November 2-7, Inclusive. Heretofore practically everything in the amuse¬ ment line has been given In tents and admission has been charged to all. This has proven some¬ what expensive to the men with a family and he Is being considered In the new arrangement. There will be ten free shows, the tents of which will be pitchetl In various parts of the grounds Instead of being conflned to a midway. The hours of performance will be *0 flxed that one free show will be witnesse<l every forty minutes. They will oja-n at noon and continue until 11:30 p. m. The free attractions include many of the leading show* seen In the Northern summer parks. In addition to this there will be twenty- five paid shows of endless variety, affording *d- dltlenal amusements of all kind*. The secretary of the fair Is I/Ouis Bni<>ggerboff.

The Southern State Fair Circuit opens at Ixmlsvllle. Ky., September 14, when the new givninds will be opened for the flrst time. These grounds are said to be the hand- comest for exhibition purpose* in the country and tbe management Is expecting tbe largest crowds In the bistivry of the association. 'This fair will be foHowe<l by seven state fairs, name¬ ly, the Tennessee State Fair. Nashvllfe; Trl- State Fair Association. Memphis.

PARK NOTES.

The Mound City Carnival (}o., of St. Louis, has be<-n engaged by the White City Co., formerly Priestor’s Park, In Belleville, Ill., for an eight-day carnival, which begins August .'10. The White City ha* bom having extraor¬ dinary large crowds this season, so with a car¬ nival company of a high class such as the Mound City Company, there will certainly be something doing at tbe park. For tbe week day* each of the Belleville Io<lges will be given a day. Du Monday tbe Maccabees will hold their outing: 011 Tues<lay, the K. of P. Ixslge will come out In force; on Thursday the Eagles will hold forth, while on Friday the Mouhlers’ Union will have their day.

Now that the ?>iulty Tobacco Socie¬ ty promise to distribute over $400,000 In cash to the farmers In Mason County. Ky., between .August 20 and 30, the amusement situation should again resume its normal shape. Mt-ssr*. HIbler and Ru*a<dl. managers of Beechwood Park. MaysvIIIe, Ky., anticipate a material In¬ crease In attendance at their resort as soon as the money 1* distributed, and all amusement* In that section will undoubtedly derive some tieneflt from this movement.

AROUND THE STAKE AND CHAIN WAGON.

By SYDNEY WIBE. The rm-ent news relative to the unfortunate

rallri>ad wnK-k which haa befallen the Rar mini A Ralley Shows, hss serveil to remind us that the entire present Besson has been one long chapter of accldonts, misfortunes of vsiious forma have di ai-ynjed U{H>a a number of shows, but the unusual number of railroad wrecks is NS siirjirlslng as It Is appalling, (iollmar Rroa., Miller Rpw.. and tbe Rarnuni Ralby Shows having each and all been visited by disasters of a like nature. It seems almiait certsln that III niiwt casi'S the arridents have iHi'n cau8*id by tile negligence and rarelessnisa of tbe railway emp'io.ves. and It Is to be sincerely boi>ed. that the lime Is not far distant, when some system will l>e IntriNlucil. that will, at least lessen the ah.imi fill and too oonataully la-curring acci¬ dents to circus trains.

Mi>nt. month later, while the show WAS at K,-ni>sha. Wis., a telegram was re- celvisl from Killings, Mont . telling of the re- coM-ry of the borw.

Kil.

Man.v circus p*‘0|ile believe that the Ramiim A ItHiley Show will Is* shelved at the close of the present season and that It will not be on tbe road next year.

It Is stateil that the E'orepaugh-Sells Show will be sent out as a -ttJ car show for next sea¬ son.

A reis.rt says, that Lewis E. Cooke, and the Ilutcbliison boys. E'red and Charlie, will put a big abow on tbe naid next season.

While tbe RufTalo Rill Show was playing through New E^ngland, "Pawnee Rill’ la said to have Is-en a fre<iuent visitor to the show, and was often cbaieted for hours wltb Col. CiMly. This fact has given rise to the rumor that the Riillalo Rill Show and the Hurdon Lillie outfit will combine, and that a new and novel wild west show will be organixed for next season.

Cy Compton, the cowtioy who was hurt In the railroad accident with "101 Ranch,” is back to the show. "Cy” didn't like hospital life and made bis esca|>e from tbe iiistltution and re¬ joined tbe ranch outfit.

Eiildle .Arlington Is a very busy mau and has lieen doing some tall traveling of late, one day he Is In Chicago or New Y'ork. and the next he la on his way to Seattle or some other re¬ mote Corner of tbe country. .Mr. Arlington seems very satisfied with the season so far. and rejMirts excellent business. "1(H Rsneh” will make Indiana and will afterwards work steadily South.

Heo. O. LItt Is general agent for Buckskin Ren's Wild West Show. Tbe show Is booking In parks ami fairs. LItt Is an old carnival man. ami was for several seasons wltb E'erarl Bros.’ Shows United.

Harry Wilson, for many years side show man¬ ager with Pawnee Bill. Is manager of prlvlleg'-s with -Miller Brothers’ 101 Ranch.

Harry Devlin, of the Devlin Zouaves, reports that h’ls act will go to Euro|>e at the close of the present season ami will play eleven weeks of continental vaudeville time.

PIGGY'S EPISTLE.

Just think! the si’ason Is more than half over, ami It won't be long liefore we will all see "Home Sweet Home.” on the nnite card.

This show has bei-n out sixteen weeks now, anil in summing up what they have accoiii pllsheil It is quite safe to say that glory ami filthy lucre are about evenly balanceil.

Riisiness has Iwen about all that could be expei'teil. while the fame the show has gatm-d for llsi'If has bi’en great.

Curtis. Neb.. .August 10, was something dif ferent than has lieen seen around here for some time. Why! to si-e the crowils you wisibln't Imagine It was presidential year, and It would make you forget all about the panic we had last winter. It was the old-time circus crowd, gatlierisl from all over, with lots of money and an eager willingness to be shown. Tlie only thing toward the pleasure of tbe day was a little wimlstorm. alsait nine o'clock p. m.. Mon¬ day evening, which cut the p,-rforniance about half In two. ami necesslfateil a little bustling on the part of the show folks to put their stuff away aud get the show boarded on the train. The Wind WHS <jiilte seven* for a while, and lit tie puffs made the different tents pitch about In a frenxy. Tills Is the thlnl Instance, this season, that the I,amy Brothers had finlshml their aerial n*tiirn an,l casting act Just lu time to tlrop from their rigging and alight on safe old Mother Earth.

Elwvssl. Neb.. .August 11. foobsl the wise heails. again. E!verything that run on wheels was useil In getting the emwds to Hie circus, ami business was again top-notch. Threatening weather, in tbe evening, kept a few |M*ople away fn>m the night iierforiiiance. Htherwise. the day's returns were very satisfactory.

Canipb**lL Neb.. .August 1'J. was another "dinger.” Business wss 1-m m e n s-e. ami Hie weather was ideal.

Edgar, the next day. was the biggest of the week. No other show stamis higher In Hie esH- insHon of the |ieople throughout this territory than the Cami>lM>U Brothers, ami this show can play ther«* amt do business where all others would condemn It.

Totilas. Neb.. .August 14. was all to the camly. Last year we made our first stand hen*, after the o|>enlng at wlntenjiisrters. and It will bo reniemberisl by last year jicople. long after other gn-at events are forgotten. In the morn¬ ing, after the parade had returned to the Ii>t. the heavens covensl the earth with a fi«>t of snow and the is'rformers could hardly do their work. This year It was hot I A i><*r»on alimwl suffocated In the big top.

rhe show pass,*,! through the winterqiiartera on Its Jump out of Tobias, and on arriving at E'alrbiiry It exp«'rlenc,*»l a gn'at ovation from tbe town peiqde. Tlie show folks came right bark at them. A gri*at mimln'r remained up. an,I an h.sir’s lay-over. then-, offerevi plenty of opisvrtiinlty to renew acquaintances.

Ilanover’. Kan., .August IS. was the same at all wcv'k—excellent, ami It was a govsl climax. .Alsmt as satisf.aoti»r,v to all i-onccrned aa one cvf Lincoln J. Carter’s, at the end of the thlnl act.

From here a great many people Jvsimeyed to E'alrbury Neb-, fho wlntenjuartera. to si>end Sunday. The I.amy Brothers Jumped to Quincy.

I’eiqde voleil It th# lieat two-ring abow they hail ever aeen. and, although far away to Hie other able of the Mate from winter quarters. Hie town |a*n(ila feel quite proud of aueb an excellent home Stats organization.

Scott's Bluff. Neb.. August 4. waa excellent. Tula la the first circus they ever hail, and ths (leople certainly tiaik ailvantage of Hie chance to see It. This la certainly tbe "tall graaa" cvnintry, but they know- how to make money aud are not afraid to aia*ml It. The afterniMiu crowd packed the ahow to absolute ca|iaclty—tbit It no plja: dream. If you don’t Imlleve It. aak "Dad” Bishop. The abow pleased them to ths limit. It was awfully hot ami dusty, and tbs water could hxnlly lie awallowed.

IJuernsi*y, Wyo., August was a sort of diaapiaiiutment. Tbe town Itn't much Itself, but the couDtr,v la thickly ae-ttbal, and If tbs (leiqile wantial to come from iielghboriiig towns there were plenty of exciiraloiia. But bualneaa waa only fair, and why It wasn't big can not be comprelieiMled. While turning the cars around ami switching lu the yards here, a few of the coaches were sent a-ahiaitin' off on a side-track aud halfway down met a string of empties. Tbe ainaab deiiioliaheil a calxMias, and one end of a alee|a*r waa almost put out of commission. The privilege car waa Jerked and pushed every which way, and, beablea cupa and saucers, plates, lamp chimneys am' other stuff being broken, tbe grease splllevl out of tba fry lug pan and caught fire. And the car looked like a furnace. It was for only a few minutes, however, when a few of the gal¬ lant heroes around the show, exHnquIsbed tbs blazes and restored order. About two hours’ delay was siiffensl, however, and the sleepar was repaired and put In sha^ tbe next day.

Rrldge|)ort, Neb., August 7, was gissl. Every time we show here. It blows and turns rainy. This time was no exception, but tbe crowd got In before the Indications arriveil, and ths weather did not binder the business. This was tbe first ralu for a long time, and brought hack horrid nightmares of what It was the first of the si'ason. Wuzziint It awful, Is*e?

Sidney, Neb.. .August S. was all right. Much better than last year; In fact, any time pre¬ vious. Last .year It was so awfully windy that we couldn’t raise the big top. Of couraa that cut out all aerial stuff, and when tbat'a nmittevi a great part of the show Is gone. Rut we sIiow'imI them this year, made them Ilk* It. and bii.siness was all right.

Holyoke, Col., .August i>; looked Ilk* a bbsmier, hut it fis.bsl the wist* ones again. The isHiple were there, the money csiiie In at the ticket wagon, ami that's all that's nec**- sary. Cseles.s to say they likisl the show.

BARNUM A BAILEY NOTES.

By THOKAS NAMACK.

Salt Lake City, Utah. The afternoon show Is over and nearly avery

one connected with the Barnuin A Bailey CIrcua la rushing to take a dip in the briny lake. It Is sometbing nearly all of the performers have been looking forward to for aome time. The hot weather baa been something terrlOc. The aum- mer through here baa been the warmest known In years. This afternoon was capacity and to¬ night there are Indications of a turn-away.

Denver was reached after a long and trying ride. Nearly every one forsook the cars for tha hotels In the convention city. The buslneas was, as It always is for the hig show—capacity, and this, despite the fact that the Greatest Show on Barth waa the third show In the city this season. Among the visitors to the show was the proprietor of the Denver Post and himself a circus owner, who partook of the hospitality of the Canvas City.

Things were lovely in I’neblo, and In Colorado Springs the attendance was enormous. The Colo¬ rado State Holiday was spent In Greeley, and, of course, there waa fine busluesa. Cheyenne was aa It has been for thirty yeara, msrcly a feeding station for the animals. From the capital of Wyoming the cIrcua made the jump to Ogden, the largest one that It la called upon to mate during the season. The movement be¬ gan after the afternoon performance In Cheyenne. A three hours’ stop waa made at Green River, where the horses were taken out of the cars, fed and watered. Every one prepared for the journey and tried to make It as comportable as possible. It was midnight on Sunday when the show pulled Info Ogden. At three In the morning the work of unloading began. Despite the fact that It waa the hottest day of the year. In Ogden the business was excellent. The show Is now heading toward Vancouver, and then down the California Coast.

The general health la exeelleiit. A little yak was born yesterday. The camel

which had Its leg broken the day after its birth Is now all right and on Its feet, thanks to th. skill of Dr. Webster.

Baker ('Itv, Ore., Sunday. .\iig. 'J, l!»OS. The Bamuni & Bailey Circus la at last In tha

cotintry where the cramped lot la something unknown. One of the performers has just coma In from the show grounds and says that tha tents are spread over all creation. He vows that from the gate to the cook bouse It la a mils walk.

The genial press agent—If you notice, he Is always genial—Invariably hariis on the people making up the nomadic city as one big, happy family. He does this because It sounds well, and lias a fine moral tone to It. But he la not far wrong when he refers to the people making lip the Barmim and Bailey Circus, as one happy family. In the vernacular which Is so expres slve. It la one fine bunch. There are no little elluues. and, strange as It may aeem, and hard as It may be to believe, there la much good feeling, much comraderle and no small petty jealousies.

tin one or two occasions the fact has been dilated upon, that notwithstanding the stren- iioiisncss of the elrcus man’s or woman’s exist¬ ence, they atm manage to find time for some of the pleasures of life. Several instancea have come up reeently, in which this has lieen made very clear. The big show exhibited at Sho¬ shone. Ida., on Friday, where one performance was given. As a surprise to the girls the men arranged a dance, for which they hired the town hall. Professor Jewell furnlsheil the or¬ chestra. The dance Ix'gan at six o'clock, and was attended by fifty couples. Bob Stlckney was floor manager, and the affair was so ex¬ tremely pleasant that It Is to be repeated in Seattle. .Many of the ladles wore exceedingly handsome dresses, and at the next dance the men will be more careful to dig out and wear their splke-talled coats.

Saturday was si)ent In Boise City. The city boasts of a fine swimming pool, and at eleven o’clock at night it was filled with the circus performers. The few fortunate outsiders who were In the pool saw more wonderful doings and stunts In the water than they ever saw before, and. perhapa, will ever see again.

The run to this city was a short one. Every thing was up on the lot at ten o’clock. The performers all flocked to the Geyser Grand Ho¬ tel. At lunch they filled the dining room. T^ere were Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Shipp, Mr. and Mrs. Danny Ryan. Mr. and Mrs. George Brown, Ella Bradna and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Stirkney, Caesar Gillette and hla wife, Fre<l DeWolf, Clarence Dawson, Maurice Geranger. Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Silbon, Tote Slegrlst. and a number of others. Many of the boya busied themselves during the afternoon, though thers was no need of that, for this Is a wide-open elty In the true meaning of the term. Back of every saloon, tbrlst parlor and cigar store may be beard the click of the chips, and the soft, dulcet tones of the dealers.

A great many of the people were like chil¬ dren out for a holiday, 'They ran In and out of the moving picture sbowa, just aa If they hadn’t a very fine one with them every day. A loud meUslrama of the pretty dreadful kind, called Convict »90, la being given at the local opera house to-night, and a big party waa made np to attend It.

Several fishing parties were made up. One. composed of Charley Hutchinson, Maurice Ger¬ anger and Mr. Bradna. drove twenty-two mllea to Boca River, for trout. Upon their return

they declared they had fine luck and a great time—hut no one saw what they caught.

Dexter Fellows, one of the "genial” mem¬ bers of the press department, waa seventeen daya ahead of the ahow In Pocatello, from which place be looked after Shoshone and Bolae City. There was a report that he married a squaw and intended getting up a Wild West ahow. He did get up a Wild West show when he beard the report, and. so that his relatives, in far-away Fitchburg, Mass., may not be wor¬ ried. baste is taken to deny the report and to mutter harsh things against the being who started it on Ita way.

The heat tbrmighout the far Weat has been terrific. It has tieen the greatest known In years. It has helped crops in some places and Injured them in others. The heat however, has had no effect on the cirrus business. All along the line the business has been of the nature that warranta tall talk regarding the drawing powers of the show with the time- honored name.

The doctor reports all well.

NOTES FROM THE PAWNEE BILL SHOW.

Dear Pal Billy Boy;— I Since I last wrote you the camp was thrown

into a state of excitement, and great depression hovered around It until the welcomed word of the physician set everything allright again. On last Thursday evening, during the performance, MIsa May Lillie was taken suddenly III as a re¬ sult of too muoli exposure to the sun during the day. A physician was called who pronounced It a slight stroke and that It was not serious, which relieved the distress of the entire camp. She waa given stimiilebta and was Immediately taken to her private car. May Lillie, where she completely recovered. It may be well to say right here that Miss May Is the most popular show lady In America among all classes.

Miss Ethel Fletehall’s smiling face Is again to 1h‘ seen In the an-na after a couple of days’ oonfliiement to her room. She Is Indeed a very popular young lady and counts her friends by the score.

J. A. “Curley” Baldwin, of the cowboy string. Is the victim of a very badly sprained foot—the result of a fall in the arena.

Manager O. J. Krause has recently returned to the show from a trip through the South, where he has completed arrangements for the presentation of Oklalioms or Statehood Day at Pawne<' Bill's Buffalo Ranch, which haa had a run of fourteen weeks here with five more weeks to follow.

Many managers from all parts of the country have cow bands and Indians as actors. The crowning feature of those Western actors is their originality of lines and natural dialect. The show has more than made good with ’’cultivated Boston.” and each p<*rformance sees the box section filled with membera of the New Jjjngland smsrt set.

Marry Allen. America’s foremost jail breaker, handcuff king and Chinese stock artist. Is making a great lilt In the annex. Harry haa one of the finest frame-ups and much booking ahead for the winter.

Did you hear of It? Well. It’s so! ”T. Y.” got plied by Harry Tracy, the outlaw—but It was T. Y.’s fault It was Harry’s fault. Jack seemed to have a very nice lady friend In the audience and as Harry went down the line, T. Y. worked on him and smiled In confidence, when lol Harry was cruel enough to spill T. Y.'s hon- do.

Saturday evening. August R. will go down In the history of the Pawnee Bill Show as a day of great events.

The cow hands got together and made np a Bryan Silver Dollar dinner, which waa an In¬ formal affair In the honor of Major Gorden W. Lillie (Pawnee Bill) who was placed at the head of the table where he presided aa only the genial Major can preside.

Many Interesting stories of pioneer da.vs; days spent twix csntle and horn; on the round-up and o)it with the show were recited by the Major and others present.

Gene Xeadrau. the Yiddish Cowboy, was pres¬ ent with a brand-new supply of rich stories and he kept the crowd In an uproar all the time.

At the finish of the dinner Major Llllle was called on for a speech to which he responded In words that bespoke of the banker-showman’s principals along the lines conducting the show’s moral welfare—among them being absolute so¬ briety and when about finished with his remarks* much amusement was afforded the cow hands by the appearance of Kelly, the Major’s valet, who. unseen by the great showman, touched his arm tn an apologetlcal manner and said: "Major, here am dat package yo»i all Bay to bring from de ear.” Everyone saw the point gained by the Major and each one appreciated It to the full¬ est.

Among those present were Mr. Williams, a wealthy machine manufacturer of Boston. Senor Jose Barrera, arenic director; Mexican Carlo Myles; The Tanner Boys, John, Carl and Earl; Clyde Jones. “Jimmie” Kinney, Capt. Jack I.ear. John Highland, Curley Baldwin and others. They all report It as the only snceess of the season.

The show secured much publicity from the Boston papers by the entire camp—the cow hands at least volunteering to hunt yeggmen that have terrorised this vicinity for the Isst few days.

Newsy Letter From the Yankee Rob¬ inson Shows.

Well, we have made the Sioux Reservation and the bad lands with the Yank Show, and. notwithst.xnding the fact that we were the first to enter that coiintry. business was very satis¬ factory. The towns of Reliance. I’resho, Mnr- do and Kadoka were all big. We stopped Sat¬ urday, August D. at a way station called In¬ terior. This village Is situated In the very heart of the bad lands. There Is not a soul lives within miles of this place, but several miles south is the Pine Ridge Agency, aiul from this place the Indians came in shoals to the show-. The advance bought two steers and fed ail the Inilians on the lot the day the show exhibited there. As a business proposition for the show It turneil out bad. but It certainly was one gala day for the Indians and the kinkers with the show.

Morris and Parker closed last week, as Mr. Morris was railed for rehearsals with Johnny Ray's King Cas<>y Company, making his third si-ason under Mr Ray s management. Their places were taken by Newton and Deyo. who opened last night and made a most favorable Impression, both with the audience and the entire company.

Our cast now includes; Ro^rs and I.atepha. The Reveres, Way and Earle. Newton and Deyo, The Three Italian Strollers. Harry Bernard. Harry Lemlen and The Mysterious Ixicksmlth. Charles DeArmond.

We are playing to capacity business wherever we go.

Mr. .Archie Clark, our assistant manager. Is ever on the alert for the welfare of the people, and has succetsled In making a reputation, both for himself and the company, of being "hall fellows, well met.” everywhere.

There waa a very large audience present and Sir Genllle was loud¬ ly applauded when he rode with the cowboys and entered Into friendly rivalry with them. Tliere was an Interesting event during an In¬ terval in the evening (M.-rformances. This waa a presentation by the baronet to C<d.

Sir Genllle said the present was a token of the esteem In which he held Col Cummins, and a memento of hla visit to the Wild West Show at New Brighton. He thankeil Col.

A surprise was sprung on Mr. McClure when be was called forward and presented with a beautiful diamond studded Elk's button, a token if regani and appreciation from bis brother Elks with the show. After the Initia¬ tion an elaborate luncheon was served In the banquet room at which time about as Jolly a crowd as were ever brought together In an Elks’ club-room, did Justice to the good things to eat. Among the visiting brothers were Col. Cody, Johnnie Baker, Roy Feltus, Samuel Mc¬ Clure. Wm. Sweeney. Carl Grigsby and several others.

Things theatrical have been brightening up considerably during the past few weeks and from present Indications the coming season will l>e as successful snd |>erbsps more so thsn any previous year. Changes of local management are numerous and |>erhaps the moat surprising of *11. was the is-slgnatlon of W. B. McCallum from the Cook Opera llmise. Mr. McCallum had been ldentlflc<l with the J. II. Moore In¬ terest# for shout twelve years, and It waa due to Ills untiring efforts that the local house has become one of the nmat Important on the cir¬ cuit. On January 1. Mr. McCallum will begin to give hIs entire attention to bis numerous en- tcrprlsi-s, he having quite a large circuit of pic¬ ture iheatri'S. alsvi seven large vaudeville acta no« apitearing In this country snd Europe. On the same date Mr. McCallum becomes blentlflml with one of the largest amusement concerns In the country, the details of which I am not at Ille-rty to make piihlir at pn-sent.

He leaves for a trip to Kurop*' In October. In ' the Interests of his attractions, and on his re turn some .surprising news Is expected. Siif- flee It to say that he has made a host of friends who rego-t his departiiri- from onr midst, anil who extend to him their best wishes for success In his fiitiiix' undertakings.

That the white tops have given to the amuse¬ ment world more successful managers than any other branch of the business. Is again proved by the engagement of ('has. W Coleman as msnnger of the Corinthian Theatre, this city. Mr. Coleman will be n-membi'n'd as one of the foremisst car anil opi>os1tlon managers In the cisintrv. having twen conm-cted with all the big ones In the ps«t. an cxyrience that will no doubt show some splendid tvsnlts In his present position. Tliose who know, predict that si*mc of the circus o|i|»wltlon arguments that he has psrticipatnl In. will h«' Intrisliiccd to great ad¬ vantage at the ('orinthlan. this season, thereby rsusliig some of the other local managers to keep their ears close to the ground. Coleman has a large following In this city, and the oiM'nlng of his house. last night, was the largest In the history of the thestn*.

The oynlng of the National Theatre was gn>eteil hv large siidleneos. who enjoved the an¬ tics of Fields' Mlnstn'Is. snd voted It one of the best shows of Its kind. The Outlaw's Christmas spis-srs .kiignst 17-1(i, to be followed by Billy, the Kid. .kngnst 20-22.

So the other day. when he met Pat on the street, he asked him the time-worn (tu<*stlon. “Who are you going to vole for this fall, Pat?” “Why. Bryan, of course.” replied the aerloua- lisikltig ('elt. “Why Bryan. ’of course?’ ’’

asked Austin. “Widl, I voted for him eight years ago, ami we’ve had iinmiK-rlty ever since,’’ •luoted Pat, without a aiiille.

The week just closed has been the largest hiislnesa wm-k enjoyed by The Top O’ Th’ World since It began Its engagement at the Sfude- haker two months ago.

"tOPEKA, KAN.

With the appearance of The Millionaire Tramp, at the Grand. August 17, and the open Ing of the New Novelty, on the same date, the lists op theatrlral season In Topeka, ran be said to be fairly begttn. The Majestic will resume, .\ugust 31, and plans are on foot to reopen the (tlyiiipic. as a moving picture house, alsuit the same time. These hfsises. together with the Elite and Aurora, which have been open all summer, will furnish theatrical entertainment for the season.

This will be the first season, in some years, when Sunday performances have not been given at all of the theatres. What effect thia will have on the general altuation. Is largely prob¬ lematical. All managers are, however, most optimistic.

Mansger Jtoy Crawford announces a strong list of bookings for the Grand, prominent among which an- Mme. Calve, Lulu Glast-r, Max Fig man. James O’Neill, Fanny RIre, Paid In Full. The Man from Home, and The Merry Widow. A feature, new to Topeka, will be the appearance of hurlps<iue shows, at the Grand, TueMay and Wednesday of earh week, beginning September 1. Tliese shows will be from the Western Bur- les<|up Wheel, and their appearance here la made possible by the week being divided be¬ tween St. Joseph. Mo., and I.s*avenworth and Topeka, Kan., prevlons to the stand at Kan¬ sas City.

The Majestic will play vandevllle the coming season, recruited from the Western Vandevllle Managers’ Association Circuit. Two perform¬ ances will be given dslly. James R. Kearney, the popular assistant manager of the Grand and the Majestic, will again be associated with Mr. Roy Crawford, this season. .Miss Freda Grlggi Is the new treasurer, at the Majestic.

The Novelty, Topeka’s cosiest and prettiest theatre, will be under the sole control and man¬ agement of S. R. Wells. Bookings will be made through the SuIIlvan-ConsidIne Circuit, and per sonally. by Mr. Wells, who made a deserved reputation for the ezcellence of his sttraetlons, during laat s»-aBon. Three shows will be given, and the prices are to be ten and twenty cents. Miss Lillian Parfltt will sing the Illustrated B<ings. and the Novelty Theatre Orchestra will be retained.

The Aurora, remodeled and redecorated last season for vaudeville and stock, will this sea son he nin as a moving picture house, and is one of the finest of this class In the state. It Is under the management of D. D. Easter, who was last season connecte<l with the Novelty.

The Elite, the premiere moving picture bouse of the city, has fw-en purchas«^ by Jesse C. Elliott, who will conduct It along the pr»-sent lines. D. M. I.sHlerman, the retiring owner, will devote himself to mercantile bnsiness.

Karl Hummel, at present singing the lllustrat- p<l songs, at the .knrora. will be connected with the Majestic. In like capacity, on the opening of the latter house. Mr. Hummel’s work Is dis tinetly pleasing, and he ac(]ulre<1 a des«-rved popularity during hla engagement here last sea¬ son.

The Alnlome season of stork clos*-s September with the Readlck Co. Mansger Crawford re

ports satlsfaotory business on the circuit. All records were broken by the Grace Hayward Co., here. .August 15.

('harles Steinberg announces the opening of Music Hall roller skating rink, at the close of VInewood Park, early In September.

Charles Elliott, of Topeka, business manager of Broadhiirst’s Man of the Hour Company, left for New York. .August S.

The Kansas State Fair, to be held here. Sep¬ tember 7-12. promises to be a hig event. Ths exhibits will be extensive, and racing will be o* the prtYram dally.

The City Council, last week, rwluced the li¬ cense fee for clrcusi-s. from I.ABO to $300, for thre«--rlng shows, and to $200 for one-ring clr- oiises. .As a result. Rlngllng’s will he here September S. and probably two or three others, when they learn the glad tidings. Since the raise In license, last summer, all tent shows have studiously avoided Top<-ka.

The Laemmle Film Service Headquarters I 196-198 LAKE ST., CHICAGO *

ril bet I have received letters from more than half the moving picture exhibitors in the United States and Canada since I first sprung my THREE PROPOSITIONS a couple of weeks ago. It is the most amazing testimonial of confidence I ever got in all my life! It comes not only from independents, but from houses which are using licensed films, and NOW NOTE THIS ASTOUNDING FACT:

Out of the hundreds and hun- dreds of letters received, not more than twenty are desirous of selling out their moving picture

theatres BECAUSE THEY LOOK TO THE BIGGEST FALL AND WINTER BUSINESS IN THE HISTORY OF MOVING PICTURES. Of the rest, of the number, about HALF want me to go in with them on a PERCENTAGE BASIS and the other half want the FILM SERVICE WHICH I GUARANTEE TO BE BETTER THAN CAN BE SECURED FROM ANY OTHER RENTER IN THE WORLD! My three propositions still stand as follows:

C. PROPOSITION No. I—If you can’t make your theatre pay, I WILL BUY YOU OUT AND RUN IT MYSELF!

C. PROPOSITION No. 2—If that doesn’t suit you, I WILL GO IN WITH YOU ON A PER¬ CENTAGE BASIS!

C. PROPOSITION No. 3-Or I will give you a film service guaranteed to be better than you can get from any other renter in the world—AND AT A MIGHTY REASONABLE PRICE!

I want It bur froM tb* rist of yti NOW! It woo’t hurt yti t* writt, will it 7

c. I AM SOLE WESTERN AGENT for tho Lowon Guar¬ anteed Electric Saver and Are Regulator which la GUARANTEED to give you a better light for your moving picture lamp and still CUT YOUR LAMP BILL FROM 60 TO 90 PERCENT. Everybody who has ons is cragy over it. Price S70.

C I am sole AMERICAN AGENT for the marvelous SYNCHROSCOPE which I sell outright for S550. The only machine which makes the phonograph and the moving picture machine work in ABSOLUTE UNISON ! The com¬ ing craze in America!

Current.

Because “HENRION*’ Carbons are specially manufac¬ tured from carefully selected materials and by special processes, thereby giving results in

MOVING PICTURE MACHINES AND SPOT LAMPS

never before attained by any other make of carbons.

Have you ever used carbons that would burn at 46 amperes on alternating current with the points 1-64 of an inch apart? And when so burned you would not have to adjust the carbons for ten minutes. Then you have not used “HENRION” Carbons, and know not the possibilities of light, life, noiselessness and lack of car¬ bon troubles.

If you are not already convinced, send for samples and our circular of

‘‘Important Instructions for Operators**

Hundreds of operators write us after having made their tests, that they will use no other carbon but “HENRION.”

The largest Film Exchanges in the country carry “HEN¬ RION”, Carbons in stock.

C Within the next few days you are going to receive all sorts of wild-cat film-propositions from renters you hitherto supposed were conservative.

C Look out! Go easy! The bait will look tempting, but there is a hook inside of it.

C Big things are doing—desperate things.

C. Write to me. Especially if you receive the wild-cat propositions that look so beautiful, so delightful, so rose¬ ate. Write to me anyhow and I’ll put you on to'something that is of interest to every man in the business.

C. And in the meantime, for the love of heaven, GO SLOW! You’ll know what I mean in a few weeks if you don’t know already.

The Baltimore Flyer ROLLER SKATES

IMPROVEMENTS In the Consiruetlon of Roller Skates, to be success¬

ful, must be made on lines similar to those made in the construc¬ tion of Automobiles, Sewing Machines, etc.

An improvement that neccessitates an in¬ crease in the number of parts of a Skate or

Machine, does not point towards success; while any form of improvement that simplifies construction and reduces the number of parts, will—if it is an improvement—meet with immediate success.

Go back to the old form of construction of Sew¬ ing Machines and then look at the way they are put together to-day, and you have our point thoroughly explained.

There are in the market some excellent ball¬ bearing Roller Skates, but none so simple in con¬ struction as the BALTIMORE FLYER.*’

There are to be found in this skate many im¬ provements over][the old form of putting a skate together, and yet, no improvement has been utilized unless it also simplifies the construction.

The result is that we have the following:—

The Handsomest and Strongest Frtme known to a Roller Skate.'

A Skate that will stand up as long as it is possible to make a skate wear.

A Skate without a rivet or screw of any kind (ex¬ cept clamp screws.)

A Skate which has the rubber cushion directly over the centre of the axle and resting against the base of the footboard; above the oil from the wheels.

The only skate made that carries the hanger action directly over the centres of the axles.

The lock washer used under the set or adjusting nuts, held in place by a slot in the remarkable M brace does great service.

It is a perfect anti-vibration skate.

The cones and bushings used are the very best it is possible to make and there is nothing taster in ex¬ istence.

Order samples of the “Baltimore Flyer" Roller Skates, note prices and we will leave the rest to you.

Sparkling with Laughter-Making Wit. Henry W. Savage, by exclusive arrangement with the author, offers at the Garden Theatre, New

York, the only authorized version In America of Franz Molnar’s celebrated three-act comedy, “The Devil,” being the English translation, with adaptati on by Oliver Herford, of the continental success, “Der Teufel.” Production by Julius Herzka, Director-General of the Vienna Volks Theatre, who pro¬ duced the play, in collaboration with the author. Stage director, Robert Milton.

Theatrical Managers throughout the United States and Canada are hereby notified of Mr. Savage’s exclusive rights in “The Devil” in all languages, except the Hungarian. No other manager has one iota of evidence that Mr. Molnar or any of his authorized agents have ever given consent to any one except Mr. Savage. Note the following affidavit sworn to by Franz Molnar before the American Vice-Consul General in Vienna:

“MODNAR FERENC, BEING DULY SWORN, DEPOSES AND SAYS: THAT ALL THE PER¬ FORMING RIGHTS FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND CANADA. IN AND TO THE SAID PLAY,‘DER TEUFEL,' HAVE BEEN DULY SOLD BY ME AND FRANZ BARD AND BRUDER. TO HENRY W. SAVAGE, AND THAT I AND THE SAID FRANZ BARD AND BRUDER. AS SOLE OWNERS. HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE SUCH SALE TO THE SAID HENRY W. SAVAGE, AND THAT WE MADE THESE REPRESENTATIONS TO MR. SAVAGE PRIOR TO SUCH SALE TO SAID HENRY W. SAVAGE. AS AN INDUCEMENT FOR HIM TO PURCHASE THE SAME, AND THIS AF¬ FIDAVIT IS MADE TO CONFIRM ANY AND ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY ME TO THE SAID HENRY W. SAVAGE IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

Following the New York performance, the author sent the following cablegram to Mr. Savage: “Buda-Pesth, August 20, 1908.

“To Henry W. Savage, New York.

“You and you alone were authorized by me to produce ‘Devil’ in America. Any one else who pre¬ sents it does so without my authority and without paying royalties to me. Any other than you. who claims I gave him rights to ‘The Devil,’ is an unmitigated liar. My very best wishes for your success, and my thanks for the splendid production of ‘The Devil,’ which Herr Herzka tells me vou made.

FRANZ .MOLNAR.”

Read What the New York Critics Said:

SAVAGE'S "DEVIL** DEUGHTS “Beautifully staged and exceedingly well acted.”

—Times. “One of the strongest plays the stage has seen

in a decade.”—Press. “The play grips tightly from the first Instant.”

—Sun. “The Devil is at the Garden for a long and

merry run.”—World. “Uproars of applause.”—Tribune. “Astonishing. . . . Audience breathless.”

—Herald. “Twenty-one curtain calls after second act.”

—American. “Mr Savage called before the curtain to ack¬

nowledge a cyclone of cheering for his unparalleled

feat.”—Morning Telegraph. “Garden Theatre far too small for the crowds

who desired to see the novel production.”—Evening

Telegram. “Mr. Savage’s ‘Devil’ Is full of invitations to

come early and avoid the rush.”—Mail.

FISKE'S "DEVIL** DRAGS

“The Flske play drags fearfully at times, and

falls to make a deep Impression.”—Charles Darnton, in Evening World. .

“The action does not keep pace with the con¬ versation.”—Herald.

“A le.ss capable actor might have turned the

representation into a burlesque.”—Tribune.

"After the first act the sen.sationalism of the

play had exhausted it.self.”—Rennold Wolf, in Morning Telegraph.

“Some curtailment might be advantageously

undertaken In the Fiske production, as well as .some

relief Introduced from the dead-level monotone in

which the dialogue of the whole performance at

the Belasco Theatre is pitched.”—Frederick F.

Schrader, in the Globe.

“Every woman should see this wonderful play at the Garden. It teaches a moral le.sson we all need in these days of temptation.”—Dorothy Dix, in Evening Journal.
