In i>« df'trlanl'ii). havinK walked a di>itanee of nine thou.'and miles around

the 1.orders of the United States. i’olonei Jack Wits, for a number of

years, advance aKent for various com-

I'anie-. his last engaKement being with The «lirish Detective <'omi>any.

Wh* n U<don«‘l Jack left Portland, Maine, last year, there were many doubts expressed about his Completing

the trip. He looked frail and sickly,

but there was not the suggestion of ill- nes,; alKtut his appearance when he

return«Ml. Hia step wa» firmer, hla manner brisker and his voice clearer;

he showed in Ills e\«Ty line and mov< meiit the great bem-tits of many days pa.aseil in the open air with the .'ky for a roof and a pair of good, strong legs for his means of locomotion.

The long trip w. not strewn with roses and man> times Jack was over¬ come for the want of food, water and from the territic heat in southern States. .Many times he was ticcosted by trami<s who demanded food or money anil many times he w.is threatened with violence by dangerous knights of

the road, who had b* en hard pres.'-ed. .Mthough discouraged many times,

the footsore pede-trian pusheil forward and for the first time in two weeks be will be able to sleeji to-tiight knowing that he has accomidished a feat

which no other man has even attempted.

\\h«n Jack left Portlatid a i-.M-boneter was attached to the wheel on 11s -]ihinx and when h*- got back the little mai’hine recorib-d a distance of ;'.m24 miles. That long distance has been covered in 3.'>7 days which is

t xactly 43 days b',«8 than he iviici teil to m.ake the long walk. It was his Intention to covi r 12 miles each day. but he h.as coven d 2.^*-2 miles and has worn out 11 pairs of shoes and ll'J pairs of stockings and lost 17 pounds

In Weight.

Hike Kdward Pay.-on Weston. Jack did not w.alk on Jsund.ays during his

long Journey and he only lost 19 days on account of sickness.

■'! am very glad that the trip is owr." said Mr. Krohn. “For the last two Wilks 1 ha\e not slijit a wink as mv neivi-s havi- been on the Jump and I have been in constant fear that something would happen to me so that I woulil lie unable to comidete my t.isk. It was a trying exi>erlence and you <an not realise how hajip\ 1 am that I have siicceeded in doing the stunt

which no other has ever Hccompli'hed or even attempted. Kverywhere 1 was used finely, but had It not bun for the kindness of the railroad men in nearly eveiy s»>ction of the country. I do not think I would ever have suc¬

ceeded in comideting the long grind. .\long tin- border of the country 1 was glvi n my mi-als at half price and whib' cros.sing the desert in .\rizona the railroad men really -aved my life. i nice 1 was overcome for the want of

water and was only found in time by a man who carried me into .a small town and restored iin- to con.si’iousne-s. While cros.sing the desert m.v legs

and feet were ciit by cactus jdaiits and many times 1 thought my time had come and that I wolild have to give u|<. It was here that the railroad men

cann to my aid. Winn 1 would leave a town I would carry a large supply of water but many times I was fori'i'd to stop trains and ask for water. I was never refused and tin tr.iins were alwavs stoppl'd and a supply of water given me While I encountered many hardshii's after crossing the desert

I felt conlidi nt that 1 would be sncce-sful and from that time on I pushed forward with all tio-.sible sj.eed making every effort itossible to cut down

thi lime I had been forced to lose.

"Th.it Is the last long walk for me and I will return to my hotne in Newbury|ioit in ti few davs for a long rest .\fter 1 recover from this trii>. however. 1 will attempt to walk 100 miles In 24 hours but I shall never attempt a long walk again The only rides that I took during the trip weri on ferries where It was absoluteU neeesMary. Mrs. Krohn has been with me during the trip. She, of course, has traveled bv tail and has met me

It. M. Harvey, general agent for the Hagenbeck-Wallace Shows, telbs

many amu-sing incident.s surrounding the life and utterances of an old

prc.'S feeder who was employed on the new.spaper which Mr. Harvey and his

brother still publish out in Iowa. The

old man was a great story teller, and the yarn.s, as repeated by Harvey, are excruciatingly funny.

One day it occurred to Harvey that it would afford him an evening's

amusement to take the old fellow to a theatre. They went, and Harvey’s

companion enjoyed the first act with all the avidity of one who ha.s never been inside a playhous before. Dur¬ ing the first intermission the boys with soft drinks went through the aisles as usual, and one of them approached our friends. “Soda water! soda water! soda water! mister,” stopping beside the press feeder, who had been watching

him with something of wonder in hi.? gaze.

"Hell, no,” was the reply. "I ain’t got no stomick ache!”

Kd. Sedgewick, of the Five Sedgewicks, says:

“We were putting on an act that called for a ‘center door fancy,’ and a ‘parlor setting,’ and I went to the property man and said to him:

“ ‘Say old man. have you got a medallion?’ .\nd he looked very

foolish for a moment, and finally

said:

“ ‘Well, we had one. but one day

we let a lot of kids in the “opry house” and they got to playing on it and broke every gol dern key to it, and we had to throw it away.’ ”

friend of John P. Fagan, railroad contracting agent of the Hagenbeck-

\\ allace Shows, has been traveling extensively in Kurope. From each point visited. John received cards and letters describing scenery and conditions

in the term.s of the circus man; for John's friend has been more or less associated with the people of the j>ro- fession for a number of yeai-s. and is familiar with all their characteristics and peculiarities. He also knows that all the time John does not spend at home with the babies is given to act¬

ivity in behalf of the enterprise with which he is identified.

, , ,

.Ml the cards wire amusing, but

the climax of humor was reached when Gibraltar came to be described.

The card read merely; Dear John: ,

This would be a hell of a good circus town if it only had a lot.

FROHMAN NOTES.

( Graham Browne, the well-knowrr ! lAindon leading actor. Is coming to New York

under an engagement to Charles Frohmau to create in English the part of the son. Thlbault. I’rlnc<‘ do Olar, In Israel, Henri Bernstein's newest play. Mr. Brow-ne achieved his best suc¬ cess In London as the Duke, In The Duke of Klllicrankle. More recently he has done the leading male parts In Mrs. Dot ami Penelope.

Miss Marie Tempest’s American tour In I’en- elr.pe, which w ill begin In December, has been so extended that It will continue until the end of April.

A. W. Pinero has cabled Charles Frohm.in that he has now completed hla new play, Mid- Channel. which will be produced In this coun-

' try. with Ethel Barrymore In the prlncipsf I woman's part. The relienrsals for the London I production of Mid-Channel have begun at the

St. James Theatre.

FIELDS TALKS OF MACK.

I Mr. Bew Fields has sigrned a long: 1 term contract with Mr. Amlrew Mack, by ■ which the latter will be starred, under the 1 sole management of .Mr. Fields, In a new mii- I sical cometly being written by two of Amer- I Ica'a beat known composers and librettists. ' TTie production will probably be made about j October 27. and brought into a Broadwa.v thea¬

tre about Norember 27. After signing the con I tract with Mr. Fields. Mr. Mack boarde.l a I train for his home In New Rochelle, very wsll

satisfied w-lth his accomplishment.

In speaking of this, hla latest theatrical deal. Mr. Fields said: "I consider Andrew Mack th? best singing, light comedian In Am« r- Ica. Having given the matter consideration for some twenty-five years, I have come to the conclusion that there Is not now living a co¬ median who can sing ami who can portray comedy at the same time, with the exception

1 of Mr. Mark. But Andrew Mack, with the I record of having twice circled the globe with I enormous success and ever Increasing popii- ! larlty. to my mind stands nnique. There may

be singing comedians in Europe who a|>proacii him, but If so I have never beard of them. Diir

I Intention in the new venture is to star .M"-. I Mack In a musical comedy which will befit the ; talents w-hich he made so manifest during the I recent presentation of the Lambs’ Gamliol In I this and other American cities.

”He will play only the blgh-class houst-s. and that Is as It shonld be In my Judgment. While the chaiacter he will portray will not be Irish,

: he yet will have the opportunity of Introducing I those wonderful ballads with Which he has so j long been Identified. It must mit be forgotten

that Mr. Mack Is one of the most prolific of our song writers ami that his voiee is of a peculiar character w-liieh has never been dupli-

I rated since the death of William J. Scanlon. Such songs of his as The Wtsbiing of the Lily

I and the Ros,-. Heart of My Heart I Love Yoti. and the less beautiful but perhaps e<]uallT sue-

' eessfiil. My Pearl is a Bowery Girl and ’ Little I Johnny Dugan, will live forever in human mem¬

ory. Mr. Mack combines in his personality the elements of success which are so larking ;n

I others. This was demonstrated as I have said I before, during the recent Lambs’ Gambol tour. 1 There is room in .America. I believe, at our

first-class house's for a man who can sing, d.xnce > and deliver comedy line*—and that la something

that we have lacked.”

I LONG TOUR FOR COHAN.

> Theatrical tour.s of these United I State* have been reiluced to a science, in ao

far as rapid transit and perfect railroad ei]nlp- \ ment Is concerned, but It la safe to venture I that no theatrical organization has ever left ' New Y’ork City surrounded by the comforts not

to say luxuries of so perfectly apfiolnted rail¬ road home as that which has bei'n provided for George M. Cohan and his Royal Family, to¬ gether with the other hundred members of The Yankee Prince Comp.xny. which will depart for Jers«'y CIt.v. SeptemlsT 19, their destination be.

AUTUMN NUMBER FORECAST

The Special Autumn Number of The Billboard, which is to be issued next week, will contain more matter of interest than any other edition that has ever come from our presses.

It will be replete with articles of an educa¬ tional and instructive nature, dealing: with amuse¬ ments especially as they are adapted to the winter

There will be a forecast of the coming season in all the big cities of the country, contributed by our own correspondents, from the standpoint of familiarity and intimate knowledge of conditions gained from their constant association and pro¬ fessional espionage.

From New York there will be a contribution by Mr. Frank Winch, treating of conditions as they exist, and dealing with certain influences and their effects upon the amusement situation. Mr. Winch has personally interviewed all the more im¬ portant producing managers, and the resultant article is of extreme interest.

Mr. Watterson R. Rothacker will cover the Chicago situation with his characteristic thorough¬ ness. His review of Chicago’s theatrical history and his scholarly forecast of what may be ex|M'cted in the way of amusements during the coming sea¬ son is sure to become a reference guide for the thousands of readers who are interested in the amusements of the western metropolis.

In addition to these features, there will be others of varied character, only the numl>er of which prevents us from describing them in detail.

The illustrations for the .\utumn Special have been selected with extreme care, both as to fitness of subjects and artistic beauty, and we feel .sate in saying that no amusement journal has ever pre¬ sented to its readers such a profusely and artistic¬ ally illustrated edition as the .Xutumn Number of The Billboard will represent.

The lists published in the Autumn Special have been compiled through the enlistment of all our facilities for gathering the data most useful to those emiaced in the amusement busirie.ss in all its varied departments.

CHICAGO VAUDEVILLE CIRCLES ARE BUSY.

Pat Casey Comes to Town for a Con* ference. Walter Keefe is on the

Job in New Quarters.

I’:it ( -iscy came from New- York to Chicago

in u hurry last week and went In¬ fo immediate conference with the powers that l.i- at the htaibiiiarfera of the Western Vaude¬

ville .Association. It was later given out that

iirrang'-m'-nts had bt-en made whereby Holph Meyers was to occupy the same position in Chi¬ cago as does Casey in New- York as far as re¬ lations with the Western Vaudeville Associa¬

tion Is concerned. Incidentally Mr. Casey found

time to book up a numln-r of good acta on Asso- riatlon time.

.At present Walter Keefe Is occupying quar¬ ters In the S.-hiller Building, closely as'oclated with J. J. Murdock, although It Is announced i-y Mr. Keefe that Mr. .Murdo<k'« vaudeville

interests are a thing sejiarate and apart from the business of Walter Keefe. Inc. .Mr. Keefe

'» surrounded with a glow- of optimism which he personally volees In words happily confident

of the future of his new underfaking. Mr. C. S. Humphrey Is connected with this movement as the taking manager, and Mr. Have Kflrrman launtlly wears the title of “confidential secre¬ tary to Mr. Keefe.” Mr. J. J. Murdock left

Chicago last w-eek on a trip of business Import, and did so saying little concerning his plans as regards vandevllle. His various announce¬ ments were rather amblgnous. although he haa bc-n quoted as sa.ving; ”I have endeavored to

!.nv the holdings eontrolled by Mr. Kohl and

Mr. Middleton.” Present conditions Indicate a brisk war in

vauib-ville circl-'s which It Is to be hoped will

result In operating policies of mutual advantage to the agent and performer and adopted with

the demands of the theatregoer clearly In mind.

LETTER FROM TH£ FOUNDER OF UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD

OF SCOUTS.

Editor The Billboard;—Since our first notice

app«-ared In The Billboard, letters have la-en pouring In on this office from troopers every¬ where. asking for more details and Information concerning the new order of Seouts recently or¬

ganized -As I am the originator and founder of the

ordei-. 1 feel It Incumbent on me to give de¬ tails as to the scope and alms of this order; at the same time Inviting suggestions from •ill who are Interested—especially old troopers.

My flr't con-aem Is to have our order stand for exceHonce; that none but good musiclana

shall wear our badge or button. I Intended It as a classification, whereby we

can distinguish coraiK-tent musicians from those who an- Incoinfietent.

For that reason I ask all Scouts and musi¬

cians to co-operate with me in preventing Incom¬ petents from gaining admittance.

If It !« to serve the purpose for which It was Intended. It must stand as a mark of excellenc*

In our profession. There Is no order of this kind In the world

fo-d.ay, and we have long felt the need of one.

Being a trooper and band leader of over a quarter of a century’s expi-rlence. I have often

felt the n,-ed of something of this kind—some distinguishing mark, whereb.v we could tell ths gisMl from the bad In selecting musicians when we have nnthing but their letters to Judge by.

Often I have been greatly disappointed Is men whom I was h-d to believe were first- class. On one occasion, when 1 had engaged sixteen men for a circus band, only four of

them made giKsl. It was Just such emergencies aa that which

prompted me to organize and become tbe found¬

er of such an order as the Scouts. To protect managers and band leaders who

want competent musicians, and also to classify all real musicians into an order by themselvca, whereby they can be recognized and distin¬

guished from Incompi-tents. of which there

are far too many In onr profession. Our button must stand for ability and excellence above all

things if our order is to serve the purpose for

which it was intended b.v the founder. -Alt applicants who wish to become members

must send rt'ferences from some Scout or from his lender or manager, showing that he la

coasjietent to pla.v standard mnslc. These referenees will he examined and passed

upon by the Grind Chief In p<'rson. bi-fore any cirtlflcates can lie Issued by the secretary. If the references are found to he nnsafisfactor.v, or even doubtful, no certificate shall be Issued until reBahle information can be had as to

his or her ahllilj-. If a Scout Is found to be lncomi>etent or

falls to make goo<| after taking a Job he should b,- Immediately n-iwirted to the Grand Seers-

t.ary. who will at once demand the return of the pin or button. .After the button Is returned he Is suspended for one year. At the expiration of this time he shall lu- given another trial, and If found to have Improved he shall be admitted to membership again fn-e of charge.

If the niemlK-r should n-fuse to return the

Insignia pin or button on demand of the Grand Si'cretary, it shall be taken from him by any Scout at any time or place where he may he

seen wearing H. Such niemb*‘r shall then be expt'Iled ^or life, for refusing to return the

Insignia when onh-rod to do so. -Another caii'e for expnlslon shall he the mis¬

use of a rsllwa.i ticket, or money advanced for fin- I-y any show, leader or manager. Any Scout receiving such money or ticket and mak¬ ing wnmg use of It shall he expelled for life, and his badge or button taken from him by any Scout, by order of the Grand Chief or Seere- tary.

Thi-s,' are a few of the principles 1 should like to have Incoriiorated In oiir by-laws, but

I solicit ojiiiiions and Ideas from other Scoiifs and niii--'clans in regard to anything pe.rtalulDg to the gool of the order.

Very n-si>,-ctfullv submitted. o. A. r’frrER.-50N.

in the next Scene we are taken to the pro¬ duction of his first play at the theatre. Here bis efToi t meets with great approval. The au¬ thor is called for and forced to respond to nu¬ merous curtain calls.

Elated by his success, the young man Imme¬ diately writes to the home folks about the ova¬ tion he has received. The old peasants are de¬ lighted at their son's success and they plan a surpr se visit to their boy In the big city.

We next see them arrive at his housr- In Par¬ is during his ab-em e. Here they are Informed by the servant that his master has gone to dine at an aristocratic home. The address be gives to them. .\nxlnus to see their boy as -oon as possible, they go to the mansion at which It jiroves he is In attendance at a dinner party.

When it Is announced to the popular .voting man that two peasants, hi* parents, are await¬ ing him, he is embarrassed. Momentarily lost because of hi- success, he feels ashamed of the oiil couple. He sends word that he has tie- parted.

Still.v the obi parents are alstut to leave. Abiut In the great city, tired from their Jour¬ ney. ht artbroken from their dIsap(ioIntment, they are comforting one anttther Is-fore the inaijsion when one of the late arrivals for the dinner observes them. Tnuchetl by their evl- ilent helplessness, she stops a moment to sym- Iiathlre. and a* soon as she arrives amttng the guests ib-scrilM-s the pathetic old couple vividly to them.

The .rising author reallxes his false posifton and imuiediatdy resolves to own his mistake.

He hurries out into tbe street to tbe old peo¬ ple bef'.re tb?y have gone far on their way. He takes them bark to the merry party where he Intruducea them and they are heartily re¬ ceived.

THE lil.IGHr t)F SIN—In a lit,tie river town of the South, early in the seventies, lived a young marricil cmipb- with but one child, a bright little cherub, idolized by her father bu: neglectisl by her mother, who. unfortunately, was tis> young to realize the res|H>nsibility of moiherlKKsl.

.llm I.angdon. tu-r tumest and big heartisl hiis band, iiondered long on the M-em'ng coldness of hi* wife, little dreaming that the cause of it all was a mail and unreasonable Infatuation for J<s- Herndon, a gambbv-, who dress<-d well and lived at the Ix-st hotel. I'rs.r little Mabb- Langdon was dazzb-d by the veneer of thl* clevir rogue, and ao carefully did he {dan hi* •cheme* and *«> seeailngl.v sincere was he In hi* protestation* of undying love that the yoiina

The o|M-iiing iweiie of the {dcturi- show* the wife {daiuiing to b-aii- by the early iiiornliig iKiat with her iMrauusir. \ letter left at * Irysting place lusirucis her to be In readiness ' to embark ou the sleauier ''tjeiii," which leave* at daylight.

We next catch a glimpse of the bar at the Royal Hotel, where lleriidou la i-ngaged in a game of cards with big Jim I.angdon. the man j he Is Reeking to ruin. Jim ha* lost nearly I every dollar he ha* In the world, and* that, with hi* domeatic troubles, drive* him to dea- ' pe'ration, and forgetting all el*«* but that the ■ smooth, crafty gambler silting oiiiKislIe to him ha* brought him to lu-ggary, he *|irlng* at the throat of his adversary and would throttle him but for the Interference of other*.

tiathering U|i the stake* quickly. Herndon note* the time 1* fast apiwoacblug when he is j to me<‘t Malile at tbe lauding. He hastens to i hi* room, pack* hi* valise, and makes bis way quickly to the aidHiluted *{H)t and Is soon Joined by the guilty wife.

But back in the little home a lisby girl ■ awaken*, and hearing no familiar voice to greet her cries, gel* out of bed and toddle* aluiut the Insise to find her mama. In vain she fcearche*; then making her way- to the front door she is siHin outside tbe house and on her way down the street, crying for papa. Reaching tbe entrance to the hotel, the child la found and taken to her father's side. With * cry of alarm the distracted man rlas|ie his little one - to his breast and questions her a* to what brings her there and where was her mother that she allowtsl her child to wq^nder forth alone and In such a garb.

Then the revelation come*. BInneil on the gown of tbe baby la a crumpled note which Mable had placeil there. With trembling hands Jim unfold* It and reads tbe awful confession of bis child's mother—that she no longer care* for him and has gime away with the man who has robbeil him of every dollar he bad In tbe world. With the cry of a wounded heart the betrayed husband stagger* to bla feet and swears an oath of vengeance on the wrecker of his ha(«t>iness. He is Instantly surrounded by sympathizing friend*, among them old Judge Hay, a fire eater and fearless war veteran, who at once volunteer* hi* assistance to hel{i run down and punish "the miserable boss thief and tin born gambler." a* be expresses it. Some one *uggesi* that the boat ha* not yet left and perbaiw the guilty cou|ile could be ap prehend<>d before they bad time to embark.

Jim and the Judge burry to tbe landing, but arrive Just In time to *<>e "The Gem” swing out into mid stream and catch a glimpse of tbe triumphant Herndon and tbe shrinking, terror-stricken wife.

"Get horses at once, ride down the leree a* fa*t as we can go. ovenake tbe steamer and pass her. then take a rowboat and board her.” gasps tbe wlndeil and excited Judge. His sug gestion I* at once acted u{>on and carried out auccessfully.

A small boat shoot* under the (irow of tbe steamer and two men fling themselves over the forward rail. It I* Jim I.angdon and bis friend, the Judge. The guilty couide see them as aoon as the crew of tbe boat. and. completely unnerved, the gambler throws the terrified wife from him with brutal force, and rushes aft to hide himself from the wrath of the avenging l.iisb.vnd. leaving the woman In a dead faint on tbe deck.

Now the chase begin*, the gambler making desperate effort* to elude the maddened husban.l. while the w ife, who ha* awakened from her . swoon, pleads wildly with the oflii-er* of the i boat to prevent bloodshed. At lengtn. alm<s>t Insane from fear. Herndon rushes below to the ^lrn*ce*. and securing a burning brand, hurl* It Into the mld«t of th«* cargo of turin-nline. setting fire to the boat, and then dive* headlong Into the eildying water* and strikes out for th" shore. Not lM»ing a strong swimmer, and ig norant of the treacheroti* currents of the river, hi* effort at rsca(ie |>rove« fjtlle. and. battling de«per*tely for his life, tbe -.infortunate wretch sink* friim view and 1* seen no more, thua end Ing a life of corrntdnesa and «ln.

Now we return to the burning l»oat. where the crew are fighting furiously to i|uench the flame*. A life t»oat I* Iow»-re«l. anil carrying the Inanimate bmly of hi* wife In hi* arm*, big Jim I.angdon and hi* friend bap Into It and In a few second* are safely beyond the danger zone of the iHirn'ng «teamer.

Back to town th** saddened husband return* with hi* reyientant and cre*tfal|en wife. Her neighbors turn *galn«f her and flaunt her sin In her face. It 1* then that the big heart of her husband speak* and make* excuse* for the erring woman. "She Is too yming to know her own mind." he ex(daln< to those who Judge her. and so folding her on hi* breast he ataml* like a rock betwei-n her and the scoff* of tho««- who would cni«h her further by their taunts.

BIOORAPH.

THE SEALED RtHlM.—There 1* scarcily a |>alaee. castle or chateau in alt Euru|M- oirr whoM- crumbling ruin* there dues not hang the specter of some legend or mystery, but none are as luteu*«-ly thrilling as the Insplratlou of this Biograph subji-ct. Centuries ago, during the devastation of one of these castles, built In medlaevil times, a walled up iVMim was found to contain the akeletuu* of two tMHlIes. Many tbeorlea were cvuijured. but tbe one adotded as the theme of this story seems the most logical. The King la so deeply in love with his favored on" that be coutrlvi-a a seipiestered dove Ci te for theiiiselvea !>>' sealing up a r<x>m in the tower, leaving but one entrance <>i>eD Tbe rvKuii is finished and dedlcatevl with |>'>mp and ceremony. During these festivities, bow ever, the King becomes siisidctous of lh« tt- t>-nHon' shown an Italian troubadour by hi* favori-<l one, so plans to sur|irlse them in <>r der te convince hiiu*elf. To this end. a gusrd enter* witb a bogus order calling tbe King away for a time. The room i* cleared, tbe lady and trcHibadcmr di-c-lare their mutual love, and sh-, pit-king lip the huvir glass. Intimates that they may enjoy eaeh other's »<K-lety for at least the boiir. 'the trouhadour pour* out bla soul's de vollun in s>ng. while the lady taking tbe rose, allows the leaves to fail in time with dropping sands of the glass. While they are thus ot-cu pled the King return*; hla fears are Termed, and calling tue masoua, orders them to seal up the onlj euiranee. The love song of tbe trou¬ badour'h*« now, unknown to the c>ai|ii*. be¬ comes a dirge, .kt the la>t grain of saiMl sir-|>e to the iHittuiii ts>wl of the glass, tbe lovers giike their w.a.v to tlje d'xr only to lie confronted witb a cold. Immovable wall of stone. Lik- a flash, the horror of the situation heelige* Hiem and thay realize their fate. Tlielr ern-* and Is-ating on the walla are answered uu1.t by the flints of the King, who stands <^its >1* 111 fii-ndisli satisfaitioo of the terrllde |Hinl>h- inent b" has meie«l out for them. Slowly the torturing oppn-sslon of the air light room overcomes them, which death only can relieve. In till* pnslnetloii tbe Blograph has attained the Very Seine of motion picture art—lu-st le-.xiilifully staged and costumed, and acted In a nisnn- r liifinitelj more convincing than an} thing ev-r la-fore attempted.

BUFFALO BILL-PAWNEE BILL

NOTES.

Sioux City. la.. Aug. 26. 1909.

To the Editor of The Billboard. Bear Sir—The show life with Buffalo Bill a

Wild West and Pawnee BllTa Ear East la going along like the proverbial gondola In the \ene- tisn waters. All is smooth, and only now and then there Is a ripple on the tide of the aucceas of the “Two Bills.” That is only caused by

the hi-avy sliver dollars that are taken In at

the white wagon. I hear that J. Bierpont and E. H. Harrltnan

have is'en ciitclasaed by Butler of the Car No. 3. who. it la said, alludea to his private car in the vards and the sleeping porter as a reas<.n for not being able to show interested ones over his sumptuous peripatetic apartment. He travels, It Is allepod in Sioux Falls, as the auditor of the Wild West and Far East. Let us amuse ourselves.

.lohnnv Baker, crack shot and arenlc director of the e’xhibltlons, has been the recipient of af¬ fectionate epistles from a maiden In Chicago, who generously assents that there was a time when Johnnv was not Johnny, but a grass hop- p<>r She s'avs that Just about that time she, too, was one, and they both traveled and danced In sbe*‘r Joy over meadows and marshes, pranc¬ ing and low making on slender blades of grass, utterly Ignoring the fact that there were other livinp rrpRtiiri'« thp of old Mother Eirtn, Rut •ho thf* timo had come to end their

conditirm. and nature aent a steer to rauac the terrible dlaturbance. The two ^raaa hopj>er« were aplnnin^ a yam on top of a piece of olorer when the ateer rruahed the life

ont of both of them almnltaneoiialy by one tread of the oloren hoof. Johnny aaaerta that he waa never a praaa hopper, aa that la the laet thintr he wo^^ld want to be, even under chanr^d

Boss canvasmen and their assistants onght to have a eulogy written to them. They write

them' of clowns, whv not of the man who Is there at night and In the early morning, and with help or no help has to get the ranvas up. There Is more poetry in the eanvasmsn and a

driver with a hlg show than there Is about any

hank clerk or counter Jumper. Hurrah for the eanvasmsn. and a tlg*'r for those with the

Wild West and Far East. Rainey, one of the twenty four men with the

eomhlned exhibitions, made a visit to his home

folks In Minneapolis. He saya they treated him like a prodigal, and he got the egg plant which his mother furnished as a hotisehold pro¬ duct at the time he was holding forth In abbre-

t lated leg coverings.

William .Sweeney, one of the men who hai

Is-en with Col. Cody for more than a quarter a century, was a happy man the other day

w h<-n he attained his fifty-third year. He Is the famous leatler of the cowboy bsnd. snd

Col. f'lxly. Johnny Baker and the men In the '.anil presented him with a handsome gold natch. He has two time pieces now, and shows both with grt'St glee, first a huge silver one

and fl-en the gift of the other day.

In M inkato the h-all team of the eomhlnaflon met with a disastrous defeat at the bands of the Mankato profi-sslonals. and not all the yelling, rooting and shontlng from the Buffalo- f’awnee Bill fans could help them, as the two

new m.'n they had In the team fumbled, and fumbled.

Haife. assistant donnttiwn ticket seller of ths Two Bill's Show, said the other day tliat he oiiec o'.v;u-ii a sl>ow. .ksked nhat he did with It he b‘rame retici-nt. Who has Haife's show? Come. come, now tell.

It was Homt ciiniiiig Week in I.i-Mars when pBllITalu Bill ami I’aniitH' Bill got there. The

day iM-f .r<' lin n was an obi man Io<*klng at the tianm-r o;i wlilch was inscrilxnl “Welciuiie.” He wanted to know wlial llie people were making so iinicli fuss alMiul. as he bail only tn-en away

oui- mouth. Rut the day the slmw arrived ev- er.vhisly tlioiighi the erowils hail Ixvn as big all wick; that Is, ♦•vorylnsly except those who lived in tin- t.ov n-lH-aulifiil of Iowa.

Captain Ih-vlin, of the Zouaves, has Invented

a new nn-tlioil of ratling his boys when be la in a hurry. Hi- uses one of tin- ropes along

the grand stand scats as a telephone win- and

thus signals to them. Devlin la not only re- specti-d Put loved by the Imys In his lroU|«-, and any one of tin-m woubl do anything for him. He has ati evo«-ptlonally gooil drill thia at-ason, and It has fn-uin-iilly In-en commented uiuui in tin- ni-wspapeis.

Col. Cisly wa.' In another of his home towns

when the show got to Council ItlulTs. la., at

least he was when he, crossed the river to tlm- ."ha. Then- he was shown liy the owner of Tha Iteo a painting hy Irving R. Ilaeon, representing the dawn of civllixation In the West. It Is

called “The Conquest of the Bralrle," and one of tbe priiKlpal figures is Coily, the Sciuit, leading the trail to riviUzatlon. In the dis¬ tance there is a train, and further away the

big buildings of a city. Ituffalo BUI admired the pleture and gave reasons for It In-lng lietter than one of him which bangs In tbe same ball of tbe Bee Building.

Mrs. Fred Carlow and her hiiaband and little William Cody Boal. came to the show In the afternoon. The Colonel went over to see them at the hotel in Omaha In the morning.

Very trulv vours,

FREDERICK MORDAUNT HALL.

One of the he«t vaudeville bills this season, at Forest I’ark. was provided the week of Aug. 15. Wm. D. Reed, a cra.von artist proved ex eellent. He sang popular hall.sds and illnstrated them in colors; Della and Geyer were exeeptlon- ally clever pantomlmisis; Heist and Company had new songs and dances; Isabella Thompson was an oi>cratle soprano.

Barniim A- Bailey’s show comes to Kansas City Si'ntemher 4. This date falls on Saturday and will be an unusual circus day for Kansas City. However, this was the best date Barnnm A Bailey could get, this year, as the mayor. In resiicnse to the request of the I.abor Unions, prohibited circuses showing In Kansas City on I.ahtxr Day.

The Two Bill’s Show Is to be here September 13. This Is the first time in several seasons that Kansas Clt.v has seen either of the Bill Shows, and doubtless It will prove a money¬ maker to them, as we are of the West, Westy, and like all these Western shows.

There was a rumor last week, that the big circus lots on Indiana street, between l.kth and l*ith. had been sold to tho fSells FIoto people. Mr F. M. Oglehay. owner of these lots. In an Interview to The Bilhoanl. most positively de- nicil this, and sahl further that he never ex- pectcil to sell the prn^wrty and there was no price on them.

Crowds go wild with enthusiasm over this game Women as well as men and children play — they never tire the more they play tlie more they want to keep on playing Once you make a customer he is always a steady patron and often comes out especially to play this fas¬ cinating game Write for our illusiraled booklet explaintiig the NEW EASY PAYMENT PLAN.
