fflEWAPIONS OF On AroueeroeDt bifi

Chopin and sigh Wagner, and they will call you a skilled musician. For front page stories, I should say try settlement work, act in hospital wards or attack dramatic critics, and, above all, have the usual number of fist fights in public places. In other words, fame comes to the actor who acts best off the stage—not on.’ I was a little disappointed at this, because every¬ thing I did as an amateur went so well with the family dog. Xo circus had a better ‘barker’ to announce its wares than 1 had in our family dog. He was a wonderful audience. I have since learned that you can buy the applause of a human being, but no amount of money can buy the wag of a dog’s tail. They may prefer farce to high comedy, hilarious action to witty dialogue, but for a perfect first-night audience, give me a house full of dogs. However cold their noses may be, they never have cold feet. So, when I learned that every dog has his day—(a promise never held out to cats)— and that there are at least 36-5 kinds of dogs—to say nothing of the bipeds —the stage loomed up as a highly promising career—I was sure of an au¬ dience every day.

"But, do audiences make actors or actors audiences or do newspapers make both?

"Is America a nation of showmen? Must you be personally eccentric to be personally famous? And is that the kind of fame they call a bubble— because it lasts only for a moment?

Xow that I have started all this. I give it up. All that I know is that, ignoring parental advice (what el.se is parental advice for?), I have never consciously walked about the streets in a white suit; I have never hunted tigers in Africa or newspaper publishers in Park Uow; and I have always preferred soap and water to milk and champagne for bathing purposes— and yet, they call me a famous actor. In other words, don’t act the way your neighbors act, if you want to be an actor. May I never be called any¬ thing wor.se.’’

Xot all the "Don'ts.” of which there are three divi.sions, Don’ts for Man¬ agers, Don’ts for Actors, and Don’ts for Audiences, are of even merit. Mr. Collier, like other well-known authors, occasionally nods. But some of the comedian’s sayings are genuinely brilliant. For example, authors are told, “Don’t think that because you are a playwright, you always write a play right.” And, again. “Xo matter how gro.ss the play, you always get your share of the gross.’’

To the managers, the little book says, “Don’t lose sight of the fact that although ‘the play is the thing.’ the playing of the play is the thing, al.so.” And further along is the saying, “Don’t put all your money in one produc¬ tion; put some of it into the bank; and don’t put all your money in one bank." And. again, “Passes to any play, awful give away. Don’t do that.” Under the same heading, the comedian says: “The purpose of the theatre is to hold a mirror up to nature—but first, clean the mirror, and be careful it is not cracked.” And, again. “Don’t overlook the fact that you can substitute paste for diamonds, tea for whisky, candy for bread, but you can’t substitute a blacksmith for an actor.”

To the actor.s—the people of his own profession—Mr. Collier says: “Don’t think that because you are indisposed, you are indispensable.” And further on in the little volume is the line, “Don't forget when you make up your face to play, make up your mind to work.” And under the same heading is the line. “Xever play in two performances a day—work in both of them” People in the profession will appreciate this line; “Xever tell your real salary—get it.”

To audiences, Mr. Collier says: "Don’t come to the theatre late; re¬ member that the early bird catches the plot.” And, again, “Doa’t get dis¬ couraged if you fait at. your real trade, plumbing or manicuring—go on the stage—all the world’s a stage.” And under the same heading is the line, "Don’t come to the theatre late and know it all. Come early and see it all.”

The latter part of the little book is devoted to “.\n Kssay on the Art of Conversation.” The reader turns to the following pages, only to find, in the midst of a number of blank pages, “Don’t Do That.”

A rather unKjue souvenir in the shape of a bound volume, called “Don’t Do That; a Ho'>k on Kti<iuette, by William Collier.” was i.ssued recently b> Charle> Frohman, with .Mr. <’oilier as author. The little book has some

—--------— hundred or so pages of illustrations j ■ *- and reading matter that is now vastly

I ^ ‘ * / humorous, now shrewdly satirical, or, j. again, genuinely philosophic.

, . I ^ ^ u ’ From fiy leaf to its last page, / -lyQ // ' "Don’t Do That” is filled with sur-

—' •- pri.ses. The six best sellers of the sea- / *noted as follows;

- 1 • - 1, Don’t Do That, by William Col- _ V • . h - 'V Her; 2, I*on’t Do That, by William

t'oilier; 3, Don’t Do That, by William Collier. 4. Don’t Do That, by William Collier; 5. Don’t Do That, by William Collier; 6. Don't Do That, by William Collier.

<*ther editions of “Doti’t Do That” are given this way; First Edition (raret, 50,000; Second Edition (vefy rare), 500,000; Third Edition (raw).

Mr. Ctdller’.s definition t>f the theatre is a.s follows; “The light, the laughter and the warmth <»f life. Youth's story comes true. An easy chair for Jaded age. A gooil jdace to go bad nights. The only place where for S3 you can be on velvet for two hours. playground for those whose business it is to ’play.’ constant topic for those who know it least. In fact, a place where you check >our troubles with your coat.”

And what he thinks about actors goes like this: “ ‘Brief chroniclers of the times.‘ they are like watch* s. There are good watches and bad watches; good actors and bad actors Some of them run a year., some only a night. The most sensitive instruments in the world—some need a good deal of care, others seem the better t>tT for a few hard bumps. Some are repeaters, others are not. There are those who are ciuse filled, diamond studded, with golden works that run with unvarying accuracy; but there are also some of imita¬ tion case and cheap works that soon run down. Some are open-faced, others are closed—in hock. They all havf wheels, some more than others. The best of thenj glv* promise of running on forever, but they all need a little winding—which is a gootl play—and there are few of them that are not t'etter off for a good guard (the best in the market is a little one stamped

F.). There are handsome ones, that look well and are good for showing, but these are costly and ilo not always wear as well as the cheaper and hardier ones. Hun<lsome or plain, they all need a chain—which is good management. The (xilillc glatiiy t>ays out its money for those that have good works—whi<’h is ability, a fine setting—which is a first-class pro¬ duction; and keep good time- -which is a good route.—.Ml others are as junk”

f>ne of th«> clev»'rest things in the book is “.\n .Acrostic.” more to be praised for its txiintednoss than for its iioe.-y. It reads.

’To be or not to be IT—is the uuestion Hits at*' ail right. l>ut make tin m safe Everything comes to him who works.

I'atlenci- Is a virtue -try and read this book through. America, the land of the bravi- and the home of the free—pres: Turn over a new leaf now. Don't wait until Xew Years. Kome wasn't billed In a da.\ -and thi'y had some pretty gooil

HE MAN FROM MEXICO H. A Bu Sncliet’* rollicking

MARIE TEMPLE J Bu Sucliet’a rollicking farce, which WII

Ilam Collier made famous a decade ago in New k i-rk, was welcomi-d back to, the stage at the Garrick on May 10. From the beginning of the first act to the end of the last Mr. Col Her kept the large audience In outbi laughter. The farce fits Mr. Colller'a allty eompletely. No mattor how al situations are. he easily managed to tf Into occasions of merriment.

The story of the plot la as follows min Fhzhugh. e yc-j by hla old frloml, i Tlalt The CBopatra. The Cleopatra la Tisiteil by

Benja ■ a young married man, la Induced |

Colonel Roilertek Majors, to ! 1. an unsavory resort. Then !

-.- •„/ the pidlce, and! ritxhugh Is arrested, along with several other* and brought Into court and sentenced to thirty days on BlackwelPa Island. He manages, how¬ ever, by bribing a guard, to visit bis home for a couple of hours and tell hU wife that business calls him to Mexico. Then Pitzhugh seta out for his month's visit to the penitentiarv. The •econd act discovers him in stri|>es—such a de¬ plorable, pitiable spectacle that It is easy to understand why Mrs. Fltzhiigh, who visits the penitentiary as a member of a prison reform association, falls to recognize her husband. An over-attentive warden attempts streniioualv to flirt with the pretty young visitor, and tbe'bus band a efforts to keep himself from becoming known by protesting against the flirtation are ndiculoiia In the extreme. In the last act. Fltzbugh, who la supposed to have Just re¬ amed from Mexico, makes a brave effort to keep up apiiearancea. The cnmpllcatluna that ensue furnish most of the fun.

Miner and Gerard broke Into Broad- ! way at Blaiie.v's Lineoln Square Tieatre, Mav I 10. With a burlesque entitled The Follies of the Day, which Is a conglomeration of vaudeville acts. sp«-eia]tles and girls. The program de- acrlbes It as “a series of incidents strung to¬ gether for laughing purposes. There la no plot; It Is too warm to bother with that, but If yon Insist, furnish your own.”

NoIkkI.v trleil Imt nearly every one—and the house was packed—laughed more than once. The humor was strongly of the horse play va¬ riety, and there was too much acting In the audiencx*. a man and a girl aingiiig from the boxes, and a .vouiig wiunan walking down the center aisle and up on the stage, all in one number.

The aiidienee demanded so many repetitions that the curtain did md go down until il:.K) o’clock, an-l at that, tw-o scenes were omitted.

One scene showed Governor’s Island and a food military drill and moek battle by seven¬ teen soidlees. Another si>eclalt.T was furnished by Miss Hayes and four dancing glrla. who reall.v danced, and 8and.r Mctlregor imitated Harry Lauder.

SAYETH THE PRESS AGENT

Standing on the end of the long steel pier at Dreamland, the general manager, S. W. Gumpertz. yesterday cast Into the aeaa a dozen champagne magnums. There lieing no Intention to Intoxicate Neptume. the big liottlea were entirely devoid of the sparkling water, wb'eh (MM-tlcall.v auggests Imprisoned laughter and (H-asant girls. Each bottle was aeeun-ly corked and wired, and Its contents were a card bearing greetings from the Greater Dreamland and a season's pass to the Coney Island park. Mr. Gumpertz threw these bottles fzr out Into the ocean and none came back. There being a very (tollte custom of rescuing floating bottlea on the part of transoceanic and (xoaatwlae ateamera, the bottles and their complimentary contents will, no doubt, fall Into good hands. Aga In some shipwrecked crew may pick up the bottles and be rheensi by the fact that, al

Pending the engagement of Richard Carle, In The Hurdy- Gurily Girl, which will be the summer attrac- tlou at the Colonial, it la likely that Manager <»<'orge l.ederer will use a week in which to do an, act called ■■hiatse-cleaning.” This is made p<«.«il>le by a rearrangement of the theat¬ rical schedule, and has causesi George Wood to use in bis press stuff the date June 6, in¬ stead of May 30. as the o{>eaing date of The Hurdy-Gurdy Girl.

a bill of Morris vaudeville. The eugagement of the great pugilist has been signalizeil by

' wonderful attendance, and interest lu him and bis act shows no sign of waning. His acting

! partner, Sam Berger, comes in for his share of ! attention and does a little talking turn grace- I fully. The bill of the week includes Billy ITif- ! ford, supported by Maud Lambert, and other i performers of like excellence.

AT THE AMUSEMENT PARKS.

The out-of-doors season in Chicago, as concerning the various resorts and amuse¬ ment [larks. is practically in full sway, for already have Forest Park. Rlvervlew Exposition

, and White City made their 1900 bow to tbe I Chicago public, and Sans Soucl and Luna Park ' are on the eve of this season's debut. Tbe In¬ clement weather attending the Inauguration of Forest Park had but little perceptible effect, ami while undoubtedly tbisisands who otherwise would have been "among those present” pre-

. ferred tbe fireside to an umbrella ramble, still, . what was lacking in numbers was more than offset by the enthusiasm evinced by those who bad a wet glimpse at tbe many new feature* that have this year been Installed by Paul Howge. .Among these are the Steeplechaae, with the six horses racing side by side over a half mile of fast track in startling realism;

I a scenic course of a mile called 'The Grand I Canon, the Human Roulette Wheel, 'vlth Its 1 incidental fun. the big fire show known as The Reign of Fire, vaudeville of the sort that

' really Is worth while, and other devices of amusing diversion. Also, this year, the Pnea-

: matic Tube Railway and the Glart Safety j Coaster are In operation along with other fea- I tures held over by popular demand.

Riverview has outgrown the term "park” and well earns the broader name of “exposition.” The Casino has been remodeled and enlarged

. ami the general aspect of the grounds Improved and brightened to the extent of modem po*-

' slblPtles In this line of endeavor. The new ! rides and shows are innumerable and the list I Includes the Ix'st of this sort of entertainment : available. Rlvervlew’s own band, under tb* ! direction of W. C. Morbliis. furnishes the music,

and bas already establishtil a high standard by I the excellent ,execution of well-selected pro- . grams. Creation and tbe Battle of the Alonltot j and the Merrimac are two of the biggest and best attended features of this season’s offeringa.

I Col. Hutton, as usual, has seen to It that Chl- I cago is thormigbly acquainted with the manifold

reasons why Rlvervlew Is the resl plsce fog ' amusement lnvestm»'nt. snd Chicago. In r*- , sponse. has tume<l out In generous sltendsnc* snd reoelveil the big venture with acclamation and enthnsissm.

White City’s opening date was May 15th. which means that last Ssttinlay the regulai patrons of this completely-appolnteil resort opene'l their season of summer enjoyment. Elee-

I trie lights galore and shows and music as bright ! as the Illumination signalised the event, which

was Joyously resllieil to Its fullest extent by sstlsfieii thoussmls. L. .A. Wolf hss spared no effort In making 19D9 surpass, by far. all Whit* City n'cords of the past, which means tbat In description of this delightful enclosure the superlative may advisedly be used. The feature attractions this year will be replete and varied, and will Include some of the tu'st musical or¬ ganisations of this country and ENirope.

Sans Soucl. with the new theatre snd the many other features of the new season, selected Alay 22 as the day on which Chicago could first m-e the park dresseil In her 19<I0 gown. It surely la up-to-ikite and outdoes even the . t

The beginning of the fame of Lubin pictures ' dates from the showing of his prise fight films. ; This served but to suggest the limitless field open to motion pictures. No scenes of active 1 life was to l>e barred from reproduction, man i

A MODEL THEATRICAL OFFICE.

The new Orpheum beadquartera on the top floor of the new I»ng Acre Building. New Y’ork City, are the newest surprise in vaudeville cir¬ cles. and the talk of everyone In tbe theatrical colony of New Y'ork. Martin Beck has put another hig thing over in laying out this new borne of hU New York staff and nothing to com¬ pare with It for order, system and regularity, comblnerl with luxurious comfort has ever been obtainetl by any New York theatrical manager.

Mr. B»-ck, as is well known, directs more theatres than any other single Individual In this country, and thr<m(rti these offices the pro- graniea are arranged and prepared for thirty- seven bous*-s each week. For this reason a splendid sy stem roust be carried on to avoid confusion and errors. In tbe methodical conduct of their business affairs this circuit baa al¬ ways been unique but the new offices seem to be the final word In the regulation of every de¬ tail which go«-K toward tbe perfecting of a big machine of this kind.

Tlie first Impression, upon entering the north aide of the floor, where tbe western portion of the vaudeville Intetwsta are located, la that of an enormous hanking Institution.' The recep¬ tion room and tl»e attendants who meet each caller are arranged with the view of obtaining quick action and courteous attention. At the right of the entrance are rows of desks where the clerical work of the department lieutenants la carried on. and on tbe left the files and cabi¬ nets containing pn-as material, tbe scene plots, tbe photographs, etc., of the various acta are ar¬ ranged. At tbe further end of this clearing bouse are the private offices of tbe executive beads of the business, booking, press and pro¬ ducing departmenta, and the private sanctum of Mr. Beck..

This latter la screened off by cathedral glass, the trestraent of which Is In oak leaves and acorns. In tones of olive green, tan and nisset. The Interior of Mr Beck’s office la uniqiie. There are no contrasts In tbe decoration, as the rolora are handled In a tonal way. The floor, wood¬ work and furniture are a warm gray marine onk toning to brown. The dado la In Spanish leather effect of .TUggeated oak leaf foliage In all the rich Autumn tones of tbe glass screen. The foliage treatment la In no place definite enough to be literal or descriptive. It la all

delightfully poetic in Its indeflniteness. The climax of the charm of tbe room a<-ema to be in the imleflnable glow that comes from all allies. It la felt rather than seen. It la like late aftemiKMi sunshine. Tills unusual effect is enbanceil t<Mi. by the lighting, when it is n*-eessary to turn on tbe electricity.

Eour low-hanging Byaantine liells furnish all the light fw the nsMn. Tbe upper parts of these bells are cast and chased bri>nr.e while the lower ports through which tbe light Is fil¬ tered Is gold glass nuBuilr with touches of griH-n and bros-n like the decorations.

as examples of our maxim that It is strength of mind and character, couple<i

with indefatigability, that makes for real succe.ss In the circus world.

In the theatrical field, the men who hold the positions of greatest prom¬ inence and influence have, without a single exception, "risen from the ranks.” Mr. Marc Klaw and Mr. Abraham Krlanger both had mediocre beginnings.

and to-day they stand as perhaps the most powerful factors In the in what is known us the American theatrical syndicate. Mr. llientrical Ed. Stair and Mr. John Havlln, who control the “little syn- Field. dicate," the circuit of theatres and attractions throughout the

country which operate at popular prices, were originally without either means, power or Influence. To-day, In addition to being rich men, they constitute one 9f the most powerful factors In American umuse-

'ments. Mr. Lee Shubert. who has come to be recognized as one of the biggest

men In theatricals, started in as a treasurer In a small-town theatre. David Belasco. who needs no introduction to The Billboard's readers,

was stage manager in San Francisco. Charles and Daniel Frohman made their advent into New York direct

from the farm. And so on, down the list. Who is there to say that luck or chance figure.s

in the successful direction of the people's amusement.^?

A great many park managers have not outgrown the old idea that vaude¬ ville amusement at parks is only a filler-in. An amusement park is scarcely recognized at all at the present time unless It caters to the best class of

amusement seekers. These people are invariably accus- Vaudeville at tomed to good vaudeville during the winter season, and .\mu!4Pnieiit they expect the vaudeville bills at the summer parks to be Parks. at least above the mediocre. When they are disappointed

in this feature. It is distinctively detrimental to the park interests, and the park manager can not be made to realize this too soon for his own good.

That innate ability counts Ju.st as much in the show business a.s it does

In any other line of enterprise is evidenced by the success of those men who

occupy the positions of power and Influence in the amusement field. As

this is the season of outdoor amusements, we will take the

The Iteal Itingling Brothers for our first example. These five "boys"

WaU'hwonI started out from the little town of Baraboo. Wisconsin, a

Of SiKiH-ss. quarter of a century ago with a show, the paraphernalia of

which occupied but one wagon, and in this the Kingling

Brothers rode. They put on their own performance, handled their own advertising, tickets, etc., and so economized that they were enabled to

gradually build the outfit to the proportion where it was really entitled

to be designated as an overland or wagon show.

But they were not .satisfied to drift along with an enterprise that merely

made them a good living. They were ambitious, and. above all, they were

able. If the Itingling Brothers are not born showmen, they are certainly

self-made ones. They have never allowed prejudice or petty Jealousy

to disrupt the harmony of the combination, nor to work inimical influence

against its success. Each occupies the capacity in which he felt that he

was most able to effect the highest degree of benefit to the aggregation, liul

at the same time he is able to handle any department of the vast enter¬

prises that now constitute Kingling Brothers' circus pf>ssessions.

It is a matter of record that, for a long time, that Is. during the life of

Mr. James .\. Bailey, and while he was the principal owner in and sole director

of the movements of the Barnum & Bailey Show, the Kingling Krother--’ enterprise was not able to secure an engagement at Madison Square Gartien,

New Y'ork. But all that is changed now, since the Kingling Krothers are

themselves not only owners of the Kingling Show, hut also of the Barnum &

Bailey Show. These two mammoth enterprises opened almost simultane¬

ously at Madison Square Garden, New York, and the f’oliseum. Ghicago. this

season. Both engagements were eminently successful. The Kingling magic

was manifest in the performances and handling ecjulpments of both outfits.

Through the acquisition of the F’arnum A: Kalley interests, Kingling

Brothers have attained the position of highest eminence in edreusdom. Their

holdings are the largest and their responsibility is proportionately the largest.

The Kingling Brothers are not the only men of real power and geniii-i

in the circus business. There are a number of those whose rise, though it

has been less rapid, has been none the less steady and certain.

Mr. B. E. Wallace, a number of years ago, put a small circus on the

road, which grew and grew, like Mr. Finney's turnip. Several years ago

Mr. Wallace added to his own show the circus property of 4’arl Hagenheck,

hyphening the two names and putting out a much larger, better and cost¬

lier show than had ever toured under his own name before.

In addition to his circus holdings, Mr Wallace Is a man of financial

The actor's real reward of great effort and surpH.^sing art. mu>t come, not so much through the box-ottice returms. as through the appreciation of his audiences, as expressed In applause and through the medium of the press.

Great, then, must be the gratification of Tim Murphy, at the The reception given him in Chicago the past week, upon the occa- Me«><l sion of his opening at Powers' Theatre in a new play, the title Of .\rt. of which is My Boy.

James O'Donnell Bennett, of the Kecord-llerald. dige.sted hl.s impression of Mr. Murphy's art In these words; "Me Is an amiable gentleman and a good actor. His method Is dry, unassuming and confidential, and he Is felicitous In depicting a mirthful and philosophic mood. He has orlginality and is agile in the exchange of e<iulvoke. The sly nudge and the half-con¬ cealed grin are his principal comedy expedients, and he u.ses them briskly and' drolly. He can denote a kind of awkward tench-mess sincerely and sw eetly.”

W. L Huhh.-ird noted In the Tribune that the attitude of the audience toward .Mr. .Murphy was expressed by "a hearty welcome when he first appeared, applause and laughter after nearly every clever line he had to speak, and recalls and d<-mands for a speech after the second act.”

.\sht<»n Stc-vens, in the Examiner, found "flashes in which he recalls Nat Goodwin at his best;" 4). L. Hall. In the Journal, spoke of hts "peculiarly effective personality and admirably developed skill," and Percy Hammond, in the Post, noted that such affection for an actor has not been exhibited by an audience here in a long time.” Amy I>>slle. in the News. <li voted a column and a half to praise of the comedian, in which she r*‘fers to him a* “a lovely jdayer, with definite elegance, fine dramatic pose, plcture-ciuenesv.

•juizzical humor and great sympathy, for such is Tim Murphy"

The Show Printers' Association, which met In annual -(■-sl.in at 4'inclnnati last week, changed Its name to th<- Poster Printers' ,\s-^oMation of the United States and 4'aiiada. and Indulged in some Inner legislation of

wide-sweeping Importance to the po.ster-printIng husiness. to Poster ^ showmen and to the pul>llc. When It Is recalleil that iilnety- Prliiters' one per ci nt of all the poster printers of this country and <'an U«>iixeiilloii. ada are In the association, the weight of its action will l)e

WILL J. FARLEY.

BALTIMORE, MD.

Kingling Brothers’ Circus came to town for two days this vvei-k; most of the town saw It, and the circus conquered. The exhibition was undoubtedly tbe greatest affair of Its kind that has ever visited Baltimore, and the .Munumen- tal City has always been on the route of tbe big shows. Though the great aggregation Is gone, the staid folks of this consi*rvatlve town are still discussing the many wonderful fea¬ tures.

Iherv- arc many pleasant connections between Ixaiis James and Baltimore, and It was not surprii,ing that hla production of Peer Gynt, which was at Ford's during the week, should have experienced very successful business. Mr. James' production was bought from the estate of the late Richard Mansfield, and Is given Intact us by that great actor. .Mr. James' wife and an excellent company gave him admirable snpiiorl.

Baltimore had a premiere during the week, when The Game of Love, by Frederico .Marian!, an Itall.xn author, was prtslnced at Alhaugh's. Floi-en-?e Lester headed a gooil c.ist, and the production came in for general praise at the bands of the local critics. The performance was more or U-ss of a tryout, and the play will be put on In New York early next season.

Anuette Kellermann headed a gocsl bill at tbe Maryland. James Y'oung, Jr., tbe Baltimore actor, appeared with Catherine Calvert In a sketch written by his wife, Mrs. Rida Johnston Young, and made a hit. The Hutfln Redcay TrouiK* did some hair raising stunts In mid¬ air. Kalmar and Brown. .Arilmr Houston, Paul I*e Ctxiix, Hilda Hawthorne and moving pic¬ tures completed the bill.

P.Iant-y’s, the Victoria. Holliday Street, the Auditorium with Sis Hopkins, and tbe Gay- et.v. all had a week of gooil business, which was favon-d by more or less cool weather.

River View Park opened with Sig Tasca and his bund as the attraction. This organizution has delighted the patrons of this popular rv-sort for several years, and bids fair to add many more adherents. Tlie park has bc-cu generally renovated, and Indications ptesage a seusou of good business.

Channing Pollock's lati*8t effort, known as ^ The Right to Happiness, and on which he Is

now working, will bv* of particular interest to Baltimoreans, as all of the sv-eiies are placed in Baltimore. Th* pl.iy will be produced In tho earl.v fall by Klaw & Erlanger. and Is said to conevrn a phase of life pv‘culiar to Baltimore people. Two of the scenes oc<UT In a residence and oue at the Baltimore Country Club.

Great preparations are bv*lng made by Gen¬ eral .Manager .Max Rosen for the 0[>eniDg of Electric Park, which is scheduled to take place May 2'2. Vast improvements have ts'en made, and the place promises to occupy the same strong hold on summer pleasure seekers this year as it did last.

Seats are selling like proverbial hot cakes for the local apiH'arance of the Lambs, at Ford's. May 27.

The Clifton Wheelman, a local musical organ¬ isation, gave an excellent performance of Tlie -Ameer during the week.

UNPARALLELED SUCCESS.

The most Instantam-oiis and striking miccess In amus»*mit)t park annals has las-n achlevtsi by T. Van Kannel's Waterless Wave Propelleil Pleasure Course, which, umler the name of The Witching Waves, ois-netl at Luna Park on July 2. last summer.

The public knows Instantly what j)leases It and Its judgnwnt Is swift and unerring. Before Tlie Witching Waves had las-n o|a-ned two hours all Coney Islaixl km-w the veriliet and that at last the real thing, something absolutely or¬ iginal, yet with elements that wlil make It as permam'nt an amusement featun- as the merry- go round, had made Its a)>p<“arance. Ever since tl)e opening hour the t>roia>rtlon of the people entering the park who have pstronlu-d this fascinating riile ami the numb*-r of n'pi-at- ers have lx“en unprecedented In the histor.v of parks and aniusenwnt devices. TIm- wcoml fares ninning fmm forty to sixty ja-r cent, of the amount taken at the tlck«-t booth, tell the story.

This unparalleldd success is due to the entire absence of danger. Children and old people un- accompanhsl make the voyage with delight; the novelty ami fascination of the mysterious propelling fiwre, and atxtve all the real human element In the thing which brings Into plav the character and dl)»i>osltlon of each indlvldtial. Hundreds of peoide stand for hours outside the railing, watching the passiiig human panorama.

No one need.s a aixMiu ff>r an Ice cream ct'Ue any more than a dog needs two tails, but these HisxniH will help yon Bell cones. They will double and triple your sales sod tbe cost la so trilling that you will never km'W the difference, that la tbe dllTereuce in outlay. (Jet busyl Order several thousmid now. 1 am still making and ie*l]ing Sayso Cuisdaa and ex|»ect to be selling them for many years to come. Ibey are Hie best pro|s>sltion to-day in tbe cone oven line. No doubt about It. Evidence ga|(M-e. Tbousands of people started in with a single cupola that have made a fortune. ]<emeiiilM-r, yonr own name, brand or trail" mark on the im instead o Sayso, without extra charge. You simply can’t beat this proposition.

My success Is first due to the gorsls I make, next to my entbnsiasm which I could not iswslhly possess without knowing that I was delivering the gissls. Get busy!

To Proprietors oi Motion Picture Theatres

Have you noticed that most first-class Motion Picture

Theatres use only LICENSED FILMS ? Just look around

and see; then ask yourself WHY. If the best theatres and

the best audiences demand the best Films, can you afford

to use any other? Cheap, worn-out, inferior films cost just as

much, and will never build up a following for your theatre.

A list of our Exchanges that will supply you with all the

Films made by the ten greatest manufacturers of America

and Europe will be furnished on application to the

Motion Picinre Patents Company
