Miss Leah IânKtry, who. In private life. Ls Mrs. Ed. I)e Groote. tells the following .story at the expense of her husband:

Mr. l)e Groote's cunipuny, playing Winning a Wife, closed a season at

—-E-1 Jackson, Mis.s., February 22. Wash- jl POSTOfTiCC I ington’.s birthday, after playing a .sea-

■j 11 one-night stands in the smaller

^ ' cities and towns throughout the

11* ‘^T-^'‘ " Says Muss I..angtry; "Every one who

'QgBV "n-' .„ knows Mr. L)e Groote intimately, fully /h^ appreciates the fact that he has very

Mal1{a|m little in common with the ‘hayseed'

(Sf<fe*Ef*tr y/\ attd ‘country- gawk.' and he has in -“ I i/f- ts_-• times past been frequently heard to

remark that the aforesaid ‘gawk’ does not know that George Washington Is dead. i>n the day of his arrival in Jackson. February 22, it seems that Mr. De Groote had gotten his dates somewhat mixed. At any rate he forgot all

about its being a legal holiday and proceeded to the post office to call for his mail, but on his arrival there he found, to his chagrin, that the office wa.*-- closed. After waiting impatiently for some moments, he hailed a ‘seedy’ indi¬ vidual who was passing a window and inquired:

" ‘Say, my friend, can you tell me at what hour the general delivery

window will open?’ " ‘Why. pard.' replied the fellow, apparently much amazed at the stupidity

of his interrogator, ‘that thar window won’t be open a-tall to-day. Don’t

>ou know it’.s George Washington's birthday?’

"Sime then Mr. De Groote has said nothing concerning the “country gawk" anti his ignorance of George Washington's death.”

^ \ d. \ the result of scieiititic d»‘velopnient. while the other contended it was a

'' triek. though they faileil to locate the ir 9 trick. Knt*'ring a hotel cafe with the

house manager, we founil argument-s

jAl-JP' running high ami. as is usual with me. 'X I fought shy of lieing tlrawn into a dis-

cussion rt'lative to Ita s work, so remained silent. t*ne of the town celeb- Titles a t\pical Irishiuiin—was volun¬

teering the information that tliough he liad not witnessed ita's performance, he knew Just how It was done; i. e.. with ti verlial code, or the way the assistant talks

As a mtitter of ftict, ita's work Is ne.irly all silent, and another of the group, wlio had se<-n In-r exitlliition. told the Irisliman tliat he hadn’t hearii me speak to her at all. tliat 1 might lie detif and dumlt. and at the sitme time pointed iiie out to the It'Ishmati who. <-oming over to tiie. said:

"Say. now . tell me tlie trutli isn't tile thing dom- liy the wa.v .vou talk?" In order to carry out tin' |>art. I t>retended not to understand the man.

and iissuming all tlie g<st\ires and guttural soutids common to detif and dumb

1‘eople, I naturiilly iiad the Irislttnan guessing. For a motnent ho w;is luin-

plussed. but not to l»e outwitted 1)> his friend’s query as to what was his

1 matle my t'sca|ie without any further cx|>lanation.

“At the time when Dion Boucicault, who died in 1890, was at the height

of his fame as a great playwright and a popular actor, 1 had occasion to.

call upon him one morning at his apartments,” says a correspondent of The Stroller. “He took up his residence in \ , ' __ ' j this country in 1876, you may remem- |i i(«««=.ww»5r

ber. But though the hour was close ' i

to noon, I was informed that Mr. Bou- i 1 cicault w as just preparing for break- | fast, and was asked to wait until he had finished the meal. i* ^ ’y Jk:>

“In a moment or two, however, a

cheery voice—that of Boucicault him- lUJlUff t -llTl_ .self—sang out: ’The top of the morn- ^- / ifJJ!—

ing to you!’ and I was shortly u.shered --1-'—- into the breakfast room, and the presence of a man dressed in such fashion as I had never before seen at a breakfast or any other table. For Boucicault was incased in a long dressing gown, made apparently from Lamb’s wool, bordered and trimmed elaborately at the cuffs and around the neck and

girdled around the waist with a scarlet cord, much betasseled. His feet were shoil in white slippers without heels—^.something like Chinese slippers,—and upon his head was perched a skull cap. concealing his baldness.

’’.As we talked over the business that had taken me to him, Boucicault.

between his rapid-fire answers to my questions, made away with the substan¬

tial meal that had been spread before him. Then he motioned to the attendant, who left the room, but .speedily returned, bearing a tray upon

which reposed a single saucer—and in that dish was the largest block of

ice cream I had ever seen served as a single portion—a block that seemed,

in fact, to be sufficient to satiate the ice cream appetite of at least three persons.

“Perhaps I involuntarily showed my surprise both at the unusual

breakfast dish and its size. At any rate, Boucicault turned to me with a

merry twinkle in his eyes. “ ’You have found me indulging in one of my peculiarities.’ he said.

’Do you know, I am a firm believer in the value of ice cream as an in.spiration of influence? I actually wrote The Shaughraun under the in.spiration of

it. If I became a little thick-headed while engaged in producing thiit play, or wasn’t clear about the treatment of “Gon’’ or any 'if the other characters.

1 called for a plate of ice cream, and a large plate at that, and when 1 htul eat 'n it. everything cleared up for me. and I was able to get the right results.’

’’Between sentences, Boucicault was t.ackling vigorously the little moun¬ tain of coldness. ‘I always have it on hand.’ he continued, ‘and 1 could go

without my coffee for breakfast with less regret than 1 could do without my customary portion of ice cream. .Almost everybody else keeps ice cream for

an after-dinner de.ssert. and Sunday dessert at that. But if I eat it in the morning it clears my brain, acts as a sedative to my digestive organs, and is a wonderful exhilarator for my whole system. .And 1 can’t get enough of it.’

“AVith the last spoonful of the huge portion disposed of, Boucicault threw himself back in his chair like a man who is content with himself and all the world. ‘.Ah,’ he sighed, if I were a poet 1 would sing the praises of Ice cream. To me it is what tea was to Dr. Johnson, a cigar to Bulwer-Lyt- ton and what absinthe is to some of the more famous French writers.’

“.And the great playwright smacked his lips, probably partly reminis¬

cently and partly in anticipation of the next huge iiortion of ice cream that

would he set before him.”

If you want to get a glimpse of the humorous side of human nature,

stand before a box-office window for a little while and listen to some of the remarks maile by purchtisers of the pa-steboards. Some day. when yoe

want to while away a little time stop i ■, ' _r' 'I ' ‘~1

Otuaha'a flrat theatrical attractloo waa a tbre<‘ night aland bark In the early SU'a. Thia I la a dlatlurlion which every city can not tioint ! to. I

Away hack In the early .Wa when there ' were three timea aa many Indiana aa there were ■•alefacea living In the frontier trading poat|Hwt cant'd Omaha, hundreds of miles from the ahrjek of the locomotive, the sturdy buffalo hunters, adventurers, gamblers and furtune- •eekera were one day auntrlaed to see ‘•show bills,” actual “opt-ra house play bills,” autck tn> on fences and barns. There they were, hig aa life: “The Great John Templeton Company In Reistrtolre.”

And so Omaha’s flrat theatrical attraction was bllletl. iTince thia time there have been Brulslignaglan stride* In the theatrical life of thia city, boasting to-day of eight theatres, among which is the New Itrandeia Theatre, a half mlllion-dollar structure, and admitttsi to be one of the finest playhouses in the country.

But we are alighting our “first night.” The hardy frontiersman gaae<l at the “bit* of civ- illaatlon” through tear-dimmed vision, thoughts of the warm home back Bast, the comfort, the pleasures, surging up and choking them to a realisation of the wildnees of the wild West; and as they smiled at the contrast of the old home and the wild west surroundings, they re¬ solved to “see the show.”

And so The Great John Templeton Company, Omaha’s flrat legitimate theatrical, played the boards here and won a barrel of money, sticking It out for thrt'e nights, to the great Jov of the marooned adventurers who made the forsaken little post their home. And ft la a source of home pride for the old-timers and the youngsters to recall the fact that the hardy John Templeton and his company played three nights to “stand¬ ing room only.” The old court house served ad¬ mirably aa a theatre, and an Improvised stage wa* eagerly thrown together by many willing bands. So the distinction Is ours of not only having a theatrical attractloo when so very very young but a three nlgat-sland attraction at that. Settler* from miles around jumi>ed on their bronchos and galloped over the prairies to “see the show folks ’' It was certainlv a night of nights for the frontier town. The In dians. eager to see a pale face show, traded hundr»“dK of dollars worth of horseflesh for the price of those pasteboards which bear the magic wonl*. “Admit One.” Omaha’* “first-night”

audience was a motley crowd. Frontiersmen, grizzled and grey; gamblers, the scum of the earth, desperate, persistent, preying; fortune- seekers, “tenderfeet,” with sad. faraway home visions, all clapping the same emotions exhibited by the company, the same law of nature proving the mother of them all, Indian, gambler, front¬ iersmen, fortune 8«‘eker*.

Our next visit by the followers of Thesitis was the attraction beaded by the old-time favorite, Julia IK>an Hayes, but the name of the pro¬ duction baa been lost In the shuffle of year*. It must have been one of those early Elisabeth- lan period productions, with little or no precision as to effect or atmosphere, for the records of the city fathers show that the stagi' manager bought from Tootle and Jackson’s dry go^s

Notes About the Performers

1\i you who aro jiroKa afCouta did you ever li«-ar lh*‘ followliiif take place tM-t«eeii a draiuatic critic and a preaa aKcut with a atory:

1). C. “L'tthi lu-iKht leave it aud I’ll see what I can ilo for you.”

1’. A. “Many thauka I ahall do no with (ilraure hut In the lueau time would like for you to kia>w very much how itrt-atly 1 a|>- preciate your kiudueas. You are very huay now so I'll aay tliMMl day aud call later when you bare more time aud I should like very much to have a chat with you. Good day.”

You know, as well as I know that that chap "planted” that story. Why? The answer la simple. To begin with he knew' exactly how¬ to time aud read that critic. ile knew that couservatlveueaa such as he displayed took root. He knew that when he uttered "when you have more time” that the critic knew be bad ex- l>erirnce aud farslghtetlnesa such as only years of dealiUKs with critics can give one. Slany and many an agent loses out many and many a time by staying too long. Even during tbe stay the critic may be as pleasant as (sissible for a critic to b<‘ but on the surface only. lie will be saying to himself maylie, “Wonder If this fellow thinks I am at pn-seiit time on my va¬ cation anti hare nothing to do but listen to bis chatter tbe likes of which in many forms and styles I bare heard many aud many a time. Guess I most do something to shake Um off”— and he does, ami Mister I’reaa Agent wbo has not had experience enough to read when to re¬ tire loHi-s nicely and when be dtxipa around the next season to meet the same critic no matter where Im- may be (daced In tbe meantime. Mr. I'ritic rememlH‘rs and knows just how to handle Mister .\gent. I hare seen it exeniplltled time and time and again. It's ability, experience, reliability, endurance, action, personality, con ddeme. ar'iualutanceahlp—these are some of the main essentials In the press agents pyramid of suc<ess. and which are necessary If be would get re)>utatloii for himself and dollars for hit attraction and by accumulating both advances bis worth aud salary, .\nnther one of tbe Im portant things for an agent to do if he would win suctess Is to get go<sl sound rest. We bare many allurements. It Is tme. but when you go to your hotel and retire, leave your troubles alone. l ay lln-m <h>wn just as you would any other burileii.

This means that we have but little more time of The .Man Who .Stiaal Still, which is the pres¬ ent i>C(Upant of -McVlvker's. This piece is made noticeable by the presence of .Mr. Mann. The newspapers say of it:

The Girl In the Taxi continues at the Cort Theatre to amuse those who delight in thi« sort of farce. The play is a bit risiiue, to be sure, but the box-offlee barometer indicates that Chicago likes it.

The Fortune Hunter is a play of proven ex cellentte. It Is interpreted delightfully and is being locally exploited by Sam l^-derer and Wm. K.

PERFORMERS’ PERSONALS

The one great absolute essential of a aucceas fill vamlt^lTle sketch Is that comedy and pathos Interrupt each otlMw at tbe psyrbolagicai mo ment. Juat at tbe time the tentlon of a tragir situation reaches a climax, there must be a touch of humor to transfer Instantly the thoughts of tbe audience Into a happier channel. Mlm Nannie Flnebarg and Co., who prea«>Dt a one- act play. calle«l Tbe fibopllfter, hoe a sketch which has these qualities combined In an ortls tic construrtkio that jumps from laughter to tears and back to laughter again. With aarh a sketrti as thla. the company nerer need worry, for they will always be a htg hit. as tbey were over at the Ktar laat we*^.

Splitting the Comedy Theatre, as Is the custfsn with most of the acts a|>peaiing at either of these bonst-s. a piw-ullar rirvomatance arioes. that of two arts of this kind <*« the same bill. Pbaama, tbe Goddess of IJght, Is beadlinlDg at the Comedy, and although of a different nature to a great extent, still It Is rather a strange coincident to find I*haama and Texlco on the same program.

EDITORIAL

The Uniform and the Theatre. Sentiment plays an Important role In the lives of most people. Fortunate

Is he who reverences things good and true which make for the best things in

life and high living. To honor one's parents is scarce less obligatory than to

honor one’s country. To respect the laws and the guardians of our liberty

is imperative in this country of law and order.

In America, the “land of the free,” where practical men deal with most

subjects in a practical manner, sentiment is far from dead, but much of the

maudlin and subservient is relegated to those of other countries whose wor¬

shipful attitude Ls hardly in keeping with progressive ideas and the assertive¬

ness of intelligent freemen.

Recently, the management of Chase’s Theatre, Washington, D. C., it is

charged, refused to admit to that house, enlisted men of the army, navy and

marine corps, in uniform. Thereupon a great tempest was raised, and the

action of the assistant secretary of the navy department was sought, not

because the flag had been flred on, not because some insult or indignity had

been offered the nation, but because of the .same hysterical obsession which

possesses such people as Representative Heyburn, who sought to wave the

bloody shirt in the National House of Representatives a while back, and was

treated to contemptuous silence of his colleagues. Such people seek to

parade their patriotism for self-glorification. Few are deceived by the pre¬

tence, and most good citizens turn their heads away In disgust.

Manager Chase is to be commended for withstanding threats of revoca¬

tion of his license, and such action would give rLse to general indignation and

possible complications. The reason assigned by that gentleman for refusing

admi.ssion to the men In uniform commends Itself to every theatre proprietor,

whose capital is invested in the business. “It is.” says he. “the rule and

regulation put into practice In this theatre, as well as every other recognized

fir.<t-clas.s theatre in the country that only persons In civilian citizen’s dress

are either sold tickets or given admission to the boxes and orchestra, or

first floor. This does not apply to soldier, sailors and marines any more

than to war nurses, hospital nurses, letter carriers, policemen, railroad men.

the Salvation Army, football, baseball and golf players. It is not a question of

patriotism, nor of alleged insult to uniform, but simply a matter of good

taste and propriety of dress for place and occasion. • • •••The

play is the thing, and the attention of the audience should not be distracted

by the appearance of persons in the seats, conspicuous by reason of their

exceptional dress. There is no per.son wearing any sort of uniform but that

is permitted to change to citizen’s dress, and therefore no hardship is placed

upon any one by the requirement that he or she dress as do the great

majority of their fellow human beings who seek amusement and recreation

at the theatre.”

The foregoing will not commend itself to the minds of those whose per¬

sonal ambitions and love of the noise that sounds like patriotLsm are enthralled

with sensational glamour, but doubtless will be sufficient to convince those

good Americans who count and are worth while.

The Decay of Vaudeville. Under the above caption The American Magazine, In its current issue,

arraigns the vaudeville stage of to-day, claiming It to be In a stage of

decadence, having departed from the good old days, before organized variety

entertainment under the general name of vaudeville was known.

In proof of Its contention, it goej? on to cite the cases of s«-veral ques¬

tionable acts which have, unfortunately, been permitted to disgrace the

boards, and emphasizes them as typical cases of decadence. As It takes

“more than one swallow to make a spring,” so the lack of greater corrobor¬

ative testimony really leaves the allegations to fall almost of their own

weight. It may be admitted that some objectionable acts find their way into

the bu.sines.s. It Ls conceded that there arc some tir.st-cla.ss artists of other

days who tlo not find the same welcome with vaudeville audiences that

greeted them in the long ago. but that the present high standard of the

bu.sine.'is is not a wonderful advance on the quality of production.s of years ago.

Ls unbelievable, and the critic should get a better vlewiioint, where there are

fewer angles to his vi.sion.

It is probably unnecessary, and will be considered a bit of gratuitous

information when we cite tlie present perfect organization of vaudeville

Interests, making possible the payment of high salaries to artl.sts of the very

first rank. That men and women of the highest hi.strionic ability and personal

standing now do not oonsi«ler it beneath their dignity to aiipear on the vaude¬

ville stage. That without the high quality of offerings at such theatres it Is

possible that professional amusements would fiml them languishing, without

the vaudeville backbone to give strength to certain weaknesses known to the

business in general and some of the outside public. It Is asserted with confi¬

dence, that filth and slapstick methods are no longer demanded upon the

reputable circuits, which comprise the vast majority of open houses. It

would be possible, if space permitted, to enumerate hundreds of productions

made within the last year or two. which for artistic conception, sweetness

of story and purity of teaching have never been equaled upon any stage, in

any period. Can the critic point to any earlier era of which the same can

be said ?

New Era for Press Agents. It would appear, from familiarity with the matter ground out by preiii!i

agents that a new era is dawning for them. All their tricks have become

hackneyed, and the more alert managers are now demanding adherence to

the probabilities. The gullibilities of the public have been so much imposed

upon in the past that the conventional yarn about .stolen Jewels, milk baths

and infinite other novelties originated in the early days of press agency as a

profession, are now devoid of the sensationalism that was the only excuse for

their inception.

The press agent who would now exploit the attraction with which he

Ls identified must go back to first principles; his stuff must be “straight” and

.egltlmate.” Newspapers Join with managers in enforcing this cunditlim.

and they, furthermore, seem to have reached a tacit agreement that the

pros.s agent’s own personality is of no especial interest to the reading and

(incidentally) the theatre-going public.

Time was when a Tody Hamilton could enlist the Interest of the public

for his attraction by filling newspaper space with talk about himself—the

peculiarity of his clothes, the eccentricity of his diet—but that time has

passed.

Probably It has passed because the originators of this style have them¬

selves pa.ssed from the public eye. and imitators can never successfully

clothe themselves with the glory of those they ape.

However that may be, the successful press agent of to-day Ls the one

who keeps himself in the background. It Is he. also, who, knowing his audi¬

ence, strives not for the semsational as it was known to his predecessors.

His "stuff” has the ring of truth and .stands the test of the acid of scrutiny.

Grand Opera for the Masses. A tempest seems to have been started by Milton and Sargent Aborn in

their suggestion to the city of New York that they be allowed to build an

opera house on the city’s property in Central Park—a tempe.st that howls an

equal amount of pral.se and condemnation, for the widest variety of opinion.**

have been expressed by the pre-ss. As soon as the news was made public

that Messrs. Aborn had offered to build, at their own expen.se. a temple of

music for the ma.sses, where school children would be admitted absolutely

free, the city authorities to have five thousand seats per week to distribute

gratis In other quarters, while nominal prices were to be charged to the

general public to defray running expenses only, a number of New York dallies

announced the proposition with large headings in their news columns and

then proceeded to comment upon It. pro and con. In their editorial pages.

In any other country than America, this plan would not be con.sldered

remarkable, for it la only a modification of the system of supplying grand

opera to both the cla-sses and the masse.s In all the larger cities of Europe,

where the opera houses are sut»8ldlzed by the government, and the presenta¬

tion of this art form is supported by the municipal or national treasuries.

However, in America, the land of the free, grand opera Is anything but

free, and has to “go it alone.” depending upon the patronage of the general

public or the caprice of society. That it thrives so well in this country under

these conditions is remarkable, and gives a d*-clslve denial to the oft-repeated

but false statement that Europeans are more appreciative of the higher class

of music than we are.

Complaints Well Directed. If those who are forever railing against the sins of the railroads as

affecting the amusement profession would devote the same degree of energy

to a consistent effort at their elimination, the causes of the clamor woubl In

time be greatly diminished, if not entirely eliminated.

Here Ls what a general agent of a carnival company recently accom¬

plished; M. T. Clark complained to the railroad commissioners of the State

of Kansas that his two hill trunks and two electrotype trunks were receiving

such rough handling by railroad employes that the S. W. Rrundage Carnival

Attractions, with which he was employed, were suffering a constant and

entirely unnecessary lo.ss.

The causes of his complaint were Immediately Investigated by the com¬

mission and within two days orders were lssue<l from the general offices of

all railroads operating In Kansas which served to put an end to "baggage

.smashing” as It had been practiced In that State.

Mr. Clark had previously complained to the railroad officials and to the

baggage men themselves without result. As soon as he carried his grievance

to the fountainhead of authority the abuse was stopped.

His plan might bo profitably emulated by many who complain promis¬

cuously and without effect.

PRESS AGENTS. ETC.

fashion plate. Neatness shows the caliber of an ag<'nt. It costs lltle to wear a clean collar.

; to hare shoes shined, and It nieana much not I only to the agent but to the attraction he ; represents. There’s many a manager and critic ! been Imbued without a good won! or least bit

of eonAdence for the worth of the attraction 1 that a carelessly III dressed agent represented. I Many of them. Agents should also cnltlrate

observation. It trains the mind, quickens the sense# and forms a very valuable asset. It give#

. him the power of knowing things. Some agents j go about so heedlessly that they never watch

what Is going on about them at all. Concentra- j tion Is amdher point that must not be over- ' looked. Some agents I have met are prone to i let their mind ran away on one thing when they I are apeaking something else. Majority of them

allow their minds to drift on the ”glrl question” and don’t seem to think that miceees depends

I on doing one thing at a time and doing that one thing well. Many an agent has also lost

I a golden mmortunlty by not remembering the I name of the critic or managing editor or

oltv editor at s er tleal time. That ’’remem berlng the name.” Is a great asset. It mn«t be developed. In some respects we are all created equal and can have these gifts If we hot exercise dillgenee. The bugliear of doubt has kept more agents down thnn most anything else I can think of. When a Arm employs voii it 1* becanse they have faith In you. When yon apply for a position yon certainly should have faith In yourself. If yon bare no faith In yonrself how can you expect others to have faith In yon? Be loyal to yourself and your employer# by doing snob thing# as will promote your own Interests and theirs. And don't for¬ get this great big point that Is coming to the issue more and more every day and that Is: "Be honest enough with editors and critics to represent thing# exaetl.v as they are.” No ’’story” or ”ent” Is proAtahle unless It Is pr-nAtahle to both sides. .knd as a closing point for your personal self. "Traetlce eeonom.v. save something.” TTie wealthv managers of this conntry have given us examoles of th's. SO.

Huring this eiigagianent—wholly unlike Fbrreat— aiMl probably the work of some umlerling tbe following brutal note was Inserted In tbe pro¬ gram;

“Vlaltora are requeate<l to remain seatctl till the close of the Play, as the noise oc- caaloneil by tbe Imimtlent few, mare tbe pleasure of the more Intellectual portion of tbe audience, that wish to wit¬ ness tbe completion of tbe iM‘rf>irmancc."

The notice was continued for the following two weeks, during I.ucllle Western’s engage¬ ment. It has not aiqu'ared slt)c«'.

Charlotte Cushman waa the manager of the Walnut Street Theatre In 184.1. and offered a prise of $.’M> for an original play on any sub¬ ject. and agreeit to pisstuce the play selected by the comml'tti>e. Among the ci>m|>etltora waa John Howard Payne wbo submitted hla beantl- ful play. The Italian Hride.

Immense success, and from whence her fame as an actress, spread even to England where she apiieart'd at the Prliict'ss Theatre In Lon¬ don, as Pauline to the Clamie Melnotte of E. !>.

Joseph Jefferson playetl Rip in Rip Van Winkle at tbe Walnut for the first time In Philadelphia, on June 13th, 1871, though Jeffer¬ son had played tbe Innkeeper in tbe play at tbe Arch St. Theatre In 1849, and a still earlier production of tbe play was given at the Walnut Stewt Theatre on Oct. 30th 18’J9. the Rip being a William Chapman with another Jeffer¬ son in tbe cast.

Mary Andersavn, after making a success of her western tours met Charlotte Cushman, wbo said to her: “My child, go to Philadelphia, early In your career. If yoti succeed there you are safe." in October 1879 she commenced an en¬ gagement at the Walnut Street ’Theatre, and as can be recalled by many theatre goers of to-day, waa artistically, financially and socially, a complete success. Aristocratic Philadelphia mobbed the Walnut in frantic endeavor for clivee obst'rvance of the stage, and Its brilliant star, creating another epoch of popularity for the historic Walnut. ’This, of course. Is a digresskvn. but In writing of tbe Walnut Stmat Theatre, it Is not (Kwalble to dts-aasoclate It from the names of men and women wbo have all too briefly trod its stage, and wbo have alnca beo'me famous, and being cognisant of farts that often sound like fiction unusual or romantic as may be the Incident. It would be witholding balsam not to stieak of them.

While tbe (lower and genius of tbe dramatic stage of Itoth thla and the old countries aidetl In the continued popularity of the Walnut—and without the attraction no theatre can be popu lar—tbe stars of the lyric stage contributed In

no small way their share of attractiveness for this playhouse. lu July. 1847, Verdi’s operas. Were beard in Philadelphia for the first time, sung on the stage of the Walnut Street Theatre by the Italian Opera Company, of Havana. Cuba, who presented the works with an adver¬ tised corps of l.’lt) singers, and at tbe price of *1.00 for boxes and 30 cents for the pit, cor¬ responding to tbe parquet of to<lay. Armstrong, wbo wrote. In 1883, of tbe opera in Pbiladeipbia. says: “Tbe Havana Italian Oiiera Troupe was tbe greatest company we bad heard In Pbiladel phia and It has scarcely since been excelled.”

'Tbeir engagement was a brilliant success lu every way.

In louO, Mme. Anna Bishop, probably one of the greatest prima donnas of her time, was first beard in Pbiiadeipbia at tbe Walnut. In 1833, Mine. Grlsi and Mario were beard, aud on Jan¬ uary 14. 18.3(5, II ’Trovatore was given for tlie first time in Pbiladeipbia, Brigiiuli, a famous tenor ap|>eared. The great Tamberlik was also a member of this cumpauy but did is>t appi ar in 11 Trovatore. Opera had bwn given at tbe Will nut as early as 1831. Caroline Rlcblngs Com pany, aud .Mr. and .Mrs. Seguiu’s couipauy gave several seasons of Euglisli operas, that were always fashionably aud numerously patronized.

The career of tbe Waluut Stre<'t Theatre shows an unbroken accomplishment of its created purpos*', and not au actor or actress of Import ance to the stage of this country but what at some time or other bas tro<l Its stage. The highest in the scale, as well as those nut so high, have here dune their thespio devotions, while the managers, the succession of men who were resiionsible for Its being and continuance have been but little thought of. That many of them were actors with small financial means, wbo struggled aud fought to give the public their desire inisde the theatre, and when they failed to please for a week or two, public In¬ difference kept them from tbe Just reward of their labor and the little board soon vanished— the public cares not. Cause does not enter into its consideration. The effect fastens its Inter est. arouses its enthusiasm and luoaen Its purse strings. The actor and the play win the ap plause and establish fame. Tbe power that has shaped It ail and brought Into being Is not seen and hardly cared for, though It cannot help but be felt. Victor Pepin, the senior partner of the firm who were respivnsible for the building of the Waluut Street Theatre, was observed twenty-five years afterward. In a minor acting capacity of the company at the Arch Street Theatre, then managed by Jones, Ibiffv and W. Ftorrest, the latter the brother of Edwin Forrest. William B. Wood, of the finn of War ren and WismI, wbo manai^ the Walnut from 1820 to 1822, was not only an actor of great merit, but he w-as also a stage manager, and by his own works shows he waa a man of busi nes slntegrlty and financially careful. He amassed quite a fortune for that time. This manager Is probably the only one of the dlre<'- torate of the Walnut Street Theatre, who was ever given credit by its patrons for any part of the satisfaction they derived from visits to the theatre. Woo<l was forced Into the man agement of the Walnut Street Theatre. He never believed In It. never conscientiously worked for If, but which succeeded when Mr. WissI left It for his pet theatre, the Chestnut Street, then rebuilt, and when that failed, and direct¬ ly stripped him of his fortune, the irony of fate decreed the Walnut Street Theatre should be the means to make smooth bis last years. Mr. Collins, an Irish comt'dian. In 184<i. ami then manager of tbe Walnut Street Ttmafre. tendered the bouse Its attaches and appurten¬ ances without cost, for a Is'Uefit to .Mr. W.smN which he gratefully accepted for the night of November IS, of that .vear, and Mr. Collins further appeared as .Sir I’atrlck In The Irish Ambassador as a foktor.' of the hill.

The Inauguration of the comhination system, deprived actors of theatre management. Men who had been treasurers and ticket sellers, without knowledge or exi>erience of the stage came forward as managers, many times allied with merchants who supplies the finances, a id who were willing to invest In theatre manage ment. After the popularity of the stock com¬ pany bad wantsl. play bills of the Walnut Street Theatre seldom mentions the res|s>nslble head of the theatre. It Is in evidence, however, that every management of the theatre di'ter- mlned to keep the bouse In the van of progress. It was the first theatre to do away with oil as an llluminant, and install gas for lighting purposes. It was one of the theatres then built, to have a complete electric light equliuiieiit which tbe present management estaldished In Sept., 1893. McVIckers 'Theatre In Chlcag". was the first theatre to entirely abandon gas for electricity.

Today, on the dawn of Ita second centtiry. the W’alnut Street Theatre shows to Its iiatnuis an exterior substantial but severe architecture, the original design, and an Interior of colodai aiipearance with the comfort and accessories of the most modem theatre and an abiding strength In the affection of airusement seekers and the members of the theatrical profession.

be the right spot for tbat line of amusement. , 'The Portola Cafe, a handsome, expensively equipped bouse, with Its l.-VK) seats. Is doing an Immense business and has a pay-roll of from $1,000 to $1,000 per week for performances alone. Thla exp<-n8e Is exclusive of Its other natural i expenst*s. The other blgb-class cafes have matched this one and all followed suit. The Bis- | marck, Techan Tavern, Tate’s, all on the same . order, are offering similar splendid programs, > which usually appeal to the better class of ; patrons, for here you can hear grand opera sing era and only high-class singers. This opens a field of employment for the better class of per- ; formers, who demand a much larger salary than ■ usually received In vaudeville houses, and the bookings usually run for four consecutive weeks or longer. A chain of cafes all over the coast has form**d Itself Into a circuit and a long en gagement can be secured by suitable artists.

The booking business In l?an Francisco has deveIoi>ed Itself very largely, for fully fifteen real bfw>klng offices are doing business outside of the Orpbeum. S'uUlvan and Considlne and Pan- tages’ Circuit, ail the balance are Independent, and find no trouble getting acts for their respect Ive houses at decent salaries.

The film exchanges also have developed Into a big business **-lth a vast amount of capital Invest***!. Four are handling the output of the Moving Picture Patents Company and three hand¬ ling Independent goods. Several new Class A theatres are In co^irse of construction, notably the Granman Theatre, on Market street, which 1» sch*HlulPd to ofcn In June, and the .American Music Hall, on Ellis street, to open In Septem¬ ber. The Wigwam, in the Mission district, will tear down Its present house, which will give way to a handsome fireproof structure, to be ready In August, and nimor says that directly opposite, on Mission street, a new fireproof theatre will be built by the Kell Estate. In addition to the above, three houses will be opened In the residential districts, so that San Francisco will be well supplied, and whether all these enter- prizes will pay the InvestPTS will not deter the performers, stage bands, musicians and film ex¬ changes from enlarging their field, for all will have ample capital and give employment to plenty of people.

The nsnal <H)unfy fairs are all being framed op. and with the large farming crop outlook all will be good mone.v makers. State fairs will be larger than usual this coming season, and the new aviation meets thrmighout the c*>untry will bring the people from long distances. Like all other large cities, and especially New York, of which San Francisco Is a pficket edition, the office people connected with the show business are more concentrated than heretofore, for at present Market street Is the real Rialto of San Francisco, as most every line of show business Is now located on Market strt*et between Fourth and Eighth streets, particularly at Market and Ellis streets. In the Westbank Building, where some eight offic'S can be found, including the Pacific Coast bran.-h office of The Billboard.

In Oakland, aenns the bay. Idora Park Is put ting on Its new dress for the coming season, which op«Tis .April 3, and In addition to Its Mg line of attractions, will add a human roulette wh<**'l. devil’s slide and the funn.v flirter and other smaller concessions. Band concerts and concert slng«'r> will be featured throughout the season.

California, unlike the East, runs almost all of Its amusements all fhro*igh the year and only In the past few years the park managers de elded to close for a few month* during the win ter as the climate seems to have grown colder each successive wlnf«.T Outside of the o*itdooT amusements, all other lines run three hundred and sixty five davs each year.

The prospects for the coming year, especially In San FYancIsco. are very encouraging. There are manv reasons for this, namely, the con •tanf rebuilding, which go«M* on steadily, and parflciilarly In the spring .Another facf(W Is the high wage* paid for all classes of trade* and lahny. and a most Important factor Is the shundance of ready monev on hand at nominal Infereat San Francises* Is destined to be the Paris of America.

Amusement parks, as viewed from a financial standpoint In this great city do not meet with hearty approval of men of finance capable of promoting and featuring such enterprises. Ex [wrlence here In this line has been a dear teach¬ er to a goodl.v number, and not until the strict compliance to the law covering Sunday has been overcome will anything again ever be attempted here.

•As far aa sp<yrt loving Is concerned, we have demonstrated the fart that ftw the population we can m.ske the showing that will put any oth<»r city In the shade. 1 am attributing this particular loyalty to our great ball team, the Pirates: neverthclcs.s wc have some beautiful park*, none of whieh we ne«><1 be ashamed. an.1 really of such grendenr that one would be led to bellev" that nature Intended th.'se particular spots for lust the purposes they are used for.

If is true we are now shy three parks that *»hen prolected gave promise of wonders from every s’andpolnf. These Include Coney Island Dream City and I-una Park. The latter was the last to desert, but the same conditions pre- vall**d here that were In evidence In the others --Sunday r.'sfriotlons proved a great factor In causing them all to clos.*.

Wc have three parks that are worthy of men tIon .islde fp*m their plctnr.'souen.'ss and Ideal Ifvatlons. First among which Is Kenny wood Park. 1i*eat.'d .lust otitslde the city limits, and oi>crat.'d bv capable and competent bn.sin.'ss men.

W.'st View Park has beeome known as the picnic park More picnics Ih.an ever arc a1

r**ail.v bmiked, and the outlook for the coming season at W,*st View Is particularly gratifying. Many improvements are under wa.v at this iK>p ular resort, particular among *vlikh Is a gravity sfruciure built by the T. M. Horton Co., for which as yet no name has In-en deciil.**! on. This Is a new coutrlvance, and will be the largest stnicture of a gravity nature In this country. This season vaudeville w-Ill be amongst the new featu.-es added, and will be book.-d thrmigh the American Vaudeville Circuit. Ever.* building will be repainted. Improvements tn the ap[>«-ar ance of the entrances as *vell as the grounds will be given attention, and other details that will be of benefit to the general public will be carefull.T looked after.

The greatest undertaking ever promoted out side of New York CIt.v, had Its conception last summer In this city, the success that followed will be the means of this project being featured In every city of any consequence during the coming season where jirofesslonal ball Is played.

The fertile brain of John P. Harris, who, bv the way. Is Interested in a number of enterprises In this clt.v In connection with Mr. Harry Davis, and In other enterprises as well, developed the Idea of the nippf.drome. which w’as the success of the season last summer, and which was made so hy the daring spirit of the enterprising pro moter. Of course, the beautiful stadium and ev ery convenience of Forbes Field (where the Pi¬ rates won so much glory last .vear by winning the championship of the National League, and then the world’s champion.sbip by defeatlpg the Detroit Tigers i must be taken Into consideration aa well as the location, for It Is doubtful If this same success would have followed at the old ball perk. Nevertheless the enormous project seemed to strike the responsive chord and Im mediately with the Initial performan*^e success was assured. Mr. Harry Davis Is the director and Mr. John P. Harris manager of the Pitts burg Hippodrome Co. It would be a difficult matter to go Into details as to *vhat great acts that are rare to this oountr.v are secured, same are mostly foreign, and with the prospects no*v exceptionally bright as to this project reaching to so many other cities, that It will be an easy matter to secure larger and better acts as the opportunity will then be given the promoters to book for a period that will enable talent to fill the time to advantage. It la impossible ro learn at present .lust what cities will he among the many that will install the Hippodrome In the ball parks, the only other one In addition to Pittsburg that would be given out as to a oer taint.v was Cincinnati. However, there Is be Ing done at present a great deal of work to wards lining up the larger leagtie parks and with the opening of the baseball si*ason it Is pos sible that a Hippodrome, as featured In this city, will be under wa.v In every city where the National Iveague, aa well as the .American, have grounds, and it would not be surprising to sei- other cities Interested where professional hail has the support that has w-arranted the owne/s to build grand stands sufficiently large to ac commodate the thousands tbat will clamor for admlt'ance. Man.v bookings are still under wav for the HIpptMlrome. and although all winter bookings have been given attention, there la a1 ways room for more. No act Is too large or too costly. The truth of the matter la that the larger and more costly the better the chances of being M'oki'd.

The season last year was short, as the un derfaking was not put Into effect until late In the season, and onl.v run for seven weeks, and to show ho*v the puhllc appreciated this en terprise. a nightly attendance of 12.(XV> was In evidence. A better Idea of the enormous space used to feature the attractions can he gotten from the Illustration. The lighting of the park Is another feature that Is In keeping with the grand project, and with a seating oapaelty of .30,(¥l*>. th.“re will never be an.v occasion to hang out the S. R. O. sign. When there Is an over flow. *vhich Is possible, but hardl.v probable, there will be plenty of room to seat thousands Immediately In front of the grand stand, where seats have already b«*en built to accommodate the overflow, which was the case during the world’s s.*rl**s. and the Initial opening of the grounds.

-A strange happening la reported, to the effect that four circuses are to appt'ar here during the last week In .April or the first week In May. 'This will he an event seldom If ever the case before, and *vhile It Is possibly onl.v a rumor. ho*vevi**. circuses of any ron«.‘<|uence have always playfHl to capacity. In fact, my experience for the pas' fo*ir or five years Is that every show of an.v con ***.iucncc has been unable to accommodate the crowds. With a rcTum of prosperity, there Is no rea

son why all of our outdoor amusement attrac¬ tions sfimildn’t have their banner season. Pitts burg Is again herself. There seem at present to be no obstacle In the way. The poorer parks that fell bv the wayside will He there and rot. anil 'he survival of those that deliver the goods will give ns sufficient amusement, especially with such a great enterprise, and with the as surance that thfs season’s offerings will be Mg ger and better than last season. Then the Hip podrome will be all that cotild be wlsh.-d for.

With the opening of the park season, the In door amusement enter|>rlsi s. such as the roller and lee rln’is will close. Tn fact, ere this goes to press, the Ice rink 'slll have closed for the season. The roller rinks will conflnue until the park season opens, and they *vlll have enjoyed prosperity, as I have the assurance that there seems to b.* a certain following who prefer the roller rinks to any kind of amus*'ment or en tertalnment

The booking agencies, and we have quite a numtv'r now. are all prosp.*Tlng. There seems to be any amo*int of talent In this sectl«*n. but none that has any merit need mis* getting on gi>i>il time. The vaudeville houses playing cheap er prices are doing gi*o.l business, and with the return of nice weather the moving picture hons.'s will again be packing them In.

.AH of the parks will this season pr.>sent van deville bills. Mr. diff Wilson (r.-sldent tpana ger of the I.ycetiml. In connection with Harrv Polack. of ttie Polack Vsudevllle Circuit, will

have the Arena at Kennywood Park, aa well aa the Air Dome at Southern Park, and do the lev.king.

IXNA PAKK Luna Park, as conceived and planned by Fred

erick Ingorsoil tof the Ingersoll Eng. & Con struciion Co., of this city), and built under bis direction, was thrown open to the public during the summer of 1906, and gave promise of prov¬ ing the greatest as well as the most successful outdoor amusement venture in this country.

The opening day. June 5, lOUb, although for go:ten by the thousands who marveled at the beauty of the park, spoke so highly of its cen tral location and easy access by trolley and pre¬ dicted so much for parties Interested, can now recall that at any time this great waste of bar I ren ground, buildings that show decay, machle- ery and etfectr that brnkight w> much pleasure to thousands, ss well as the good wishes that were then fostered, that what promised so much has proved so little.

With nearly 100.000 Incendescent lights and ever.T conceivable device, as well as the beet bands that could be procured were here to help entertain and make merry every visitor, that this was the case the first season can not be dispnted, from the fact that during the season of lt¥»5 there were over 800.000 paid advls slons. which netted the company $100,000.

This season Mr. Tunis F. Dean, the popular manager of Miss Rlanche Bates, wag the park manager; he was also manager the following season, and a more popular manager could not have been secured. His popularity Is still In evidence whenever he visits us with Miss Rates and her company, which makes the combination a hard one to l»eat.

Although JSOO.Otg) was spent in preparing this park for the benefit of the critical Pittsburg public, each season additional sums of quite some consequence were added and efforts put forward to give the public all and everything that their hearts could desire, snd while the second season was a money-maker, netting ffld.dOO. the falling off was unpleasant to the management.

This park has the distinction of having Intro diicid features In their endeavor to win back the losing prestige, that no other park would undertake, among which were devices that can be seen here that were never Introduced else where. The first ballet ever given In a park was pot on here during the year IftOS. IntrtMiic- Ing at one time on the Immense stage over 100 girls. Imagine, If you can. 100 toes pointing skyward at one time, and a beaming counte¬ nance of each of the hundred participants star¬ ing at yon from thia long line, with an expres alon that would Imply, Can you beat It?

In loot) the management of the park was as aumed by Mr. E. E. Gregg, and the park thrown open to the ptihllc with as much splendor as on previous openings, and noticeable among the In terlor were tmprovementa In many waya looking to the comfort as well as the pleasure of the thronrs that were expected. However, this season proved a loser, and each year thereafter proved that what promised so much was destined to he only air castles.

One feature that has worked exceptional bard ship .m all of our parks In the city proper Is the fact that Sunday restrictions are "so exception allv severe that with the exception of the dry parks. Highland, where the Zoo Is located, and Schenley, with Its beautiful driveways and the conservatories, as well as the Carnegie Li¬ brary and Art Museum, no other parks are open. This is really the main reason that Luna Park has proved the failure It has.

The seasons of 1907 snd 1908. while still of no consequence financially, were nevertheless of considerable Interest, particularly that of 1907. and Messrs. Messmore and Morris, who had the park for these two seasons, deserve a great deal of credit for the efforts they made and the manner In which they strived to retain the wan¬ ing prestige. However. It seemed with all that these live, enterprising and h.trd working mans gers done, sufficient life couldn’t be Installed to bring It to a paving basis, and the panic which was on In full blast during the summer of 1908, was the death knell.

Luna Park was alwavs a favorite resort for picnics. August 28. 1907. when the Garfield Cir¬ cle Ladles of the O. A. R. were In the midst of the glories that go with these festive occa¬ sions. three Hons escaped from their cages, or rather, from the one cage, as the Hons were driven by the cage cleaner Into this particular cage In order to enable the cleaner to finish hl« duties, end through carlessness the door was left open, which permitted the escape of the Hons. The fact that three Hons escaped was never admitted before, yet It Is an absolnte fact, and unfor^lnately the excited attendant lost his presence of mind snd allowed the accident which sent thrills through the public at large as well as the hundreds who were eyewitnesses to the terrible happening. The careless and negligent attendant was apprised of his negligence when he he.trd the upsetting of chairs snd loud groans from the Hons coming from a different neighbor¬ hood tban that of the adlolning cage, and re memberlng that he had forgotten to close the cage door. Immediately sought to remedy the negleet by running after the Hons In order to chase them back. This he was successful In doing In so far as two Hons were concerned, bnt the largest one had gotten too far sway to he overtaken In time to avoid the terrible disaster. The Hons caused a noise In the theatre by over¬ turning the chairs, and although It was dark In there, Ike rhspoelle. the boy whose carelessness had permitted the escape, was able to scream his InahllltT to handle the affair to the trainer. Mr. Frit* Waldo, who dashed through the andl- torlum In sn effort to catch the Hon before he reached the open, hut without success. The af'erneon p<‘rfoTmsnees had closed, and Mr. Waldo’s duties were thought to be over, yet he was near enough to have been of sufficient t.eneflt to have avoided the accident had Mr. Oianoelle been In a normal state and acted mor*- quickly,

'The WIncherman \n1mal Show waa giving exhibition In the .Arcadia, and the escaped lion walked along the side of the building com¬ ing out bv th" side of the building called The Glass Faetoi-,. almos* facing the aide en’rance to MvsMe River, at which point the Hon came tinevo cf.div and Immedlafelv upon Mr«. Tlncke The suddenness of coming face to face swmed to c.fise both the lion and Mrs. Hucke to gasp for bvf-ath. and the Impulse of the moment wl*h all loss of self con’rol. caused Mr« Hucke to throw up her hands. This was met hv the Hon rearing up. and together they came down In a heap. The claws had scratched Mrs. Hucke. aud caused the blood to flow freelv from her wounds This !t Is claimed had a great deal to do with the Hon becoming fran*'c. and he Immedlatelv attacked her, sinking his teeth deep into her side.

The report that a Hon had escaped seemed

to have eircniated among the park patrons as If

by magic. There waa a rush for whatever of fered the least kind of protectktD, and It was a fortunate thing that with the throng in evi¬ dence no accident* happened.

Wito the report of a Hon escaped, and the attack which was in plain view of all facing the Mystic River, assistance seemed to be Im¬ mediately offered. Almost with the first scream still ringing in the ear* of Chief of Police W. A. Downing, he seemed ready with bis trusty revolver, and without hesitancy Immediately began firing. He was soon surrounded by other park police and the city police as well, and many concessionaires, who came to the rescue with tevolvers. AH of the guns from the shoot¬ ing gallery were presaed Into service, and in leas time tban It takes to tell the story over two hundred shots were fired before his certain death was assured.

A medal was voted to W. A. Dowling by the City Council, In consideration for bis bravery. The other officer* who took part wfre Jack Brebne and 8. L. L<‘nbardt. park (>oHce, and city policeman. Geo. O. Rherldan.

Mrs. J. E. Beck, who had charge of the tick¬ et office at the Old Mill, spent a few trying moments when her eyes met the scene. There was no chance for her to make her escape. She remained in the small enclosure and witnessed the disposition of the animal.

With bis tall lashing bis sides, and a series of bowls that sounded like peals of thunder, this mighty beast of the forest, after wlthatandlng the hundreds of shots, fell dead, to be a prey of souvenir collector*. Almost before death hi* teeth were hammered out, bis claws extracted, and every available thing that would answer for a souvenir was taken, the crowd even going so far a* to cut the skin where the patch would show a bullet hole. The hide was so badly dl* figured that It waa of practically no good for any purpose. The needless firing of shots Into the hod.v after the animal was dead, left the skin when taken from the carca* a companion piece for a selve.

•The hysterical crowd, consisting of fathers, mother*, children and babes In arms, soon re covenxl their composure after the death of the beast. The ho»ir for the evening meal was *1 most due, the accident happening about 5:30. and before fi o’clock the park was deserted.

Mr. Kirby, owner of the snimal. placed hi* valuation on same at tl.OOO. I have heard that after this accident Mr. Kirby disposed of his show, and that the remaining animals came Into the possession of the Johnny Jones Carnival Co.

The season of 1908 had a bigger deficit at the end than any previous one. and Messmore and Morris threw up their lease. The season of 1909 was short lived, the park for that season being opened very late; In fact, to all appear ance*. It looked like the park would he closed. Mr. M. W. Taylor, of Philadelphia, came to the rescue and did all in his power to revive the enthusiasm and bring this pleasure resort Into popularity again, bnt to no purpose. Mr. Tay¬ lor sank a nice bunch of money In hi* venture, and almost Immediately after the Hippodrome opened In Forbes Field, where the Pirate* won the world’s championship. Luna Park closed, to remain closed as far as park purpose* are con cemed.

Alongside of Grant Botilevard. In the heart of residential Pittsburg. In close proximity to the Pennsvlvanla railroad, what remain* of this beautiful landscape and picturesque scenery, as well as the monuments standing in the shape of device*, showing where thousands of dollars are lost, and all that is left will soon cnimhle. destroying every memory of dear old Luna Park

WASHINGTON. D. C.

If coming event* cast their shadows before, the approaching season will be second to none of Its predecessor* with respect to financial magnitude. Present condition* pressage a pros perous summer. Candidly, It may not be a rec¬ ord-breaker. but the managers almost to a man would have you think that It will reach the top notch, "rhey speak as If In earnest, and probably they are. Anyhow, the most pessi mistic grouch must admit that Washington will hare attraction* galore, stilficient to satis fy all the resident* as well as the thousands of stranger* within our gates.

During the summer month* many, of course, leave the city on their annual vacations, bnt more than that number of visitor* arrive here, and the majority of them are on pleasure bent, and are good spender*. They come for a good time and get It. Consequently all the place* of amusement do a land office business.

Whit class of amusements take the lead! Well, that I* a qnestlon that few will venture to answer. Probably no disinterested individual would go on record with a positive reply. If you go to the steamboat wharf* you will be led to think that the majorltv of people are off for an excursion bv boat. Go to the railway sta tlou and It I* ditto, only they go by train.' The same apparent condition pveyall* at each of th» parks and other place* of recreation. The big soo 1* even more popular In summer time than In winter. Aside from It* natural attractive¬ ness It must also be borne In mind that It I* free,. an»Important Item with many.

Confining ourselves strictly to outdoor amuse menta, we will first consider that of band con¬ cert*. More than sixty year* ago the I’nlted State* Marine Band atarted to give open air concerts, and the custom still continues. Begin¬ ning In June and running through September, the band on each Wednesday evening play* to large crowd* at the capitol. and on .Saturday* to assemblage* fully as great at the White House. Last season, even before the summer had set In. Mr*. Taft, wife of the President. In augurated a series of concert* by the same band on Potomac Driveway, and they l>ec*me at ouce 1mmens<Iy popular, and will be continued this year. It may be In place to here state that T leiitenant 8antelmann, the leader of the Mar'ne Band ha* begiin the erection of a twenty five thousand dollar residence In this city.

The Fifteenth Cavalry Band stationed at Ft Mever. give* regular concert* at that post, and during the summer plays In one of the public park* of the city. 'They sre very popular, and tho«e at the post especially are attended largely by socp ty. The Engineer Band, stationed at the .Arsenal, now better known as the War College give* at least two concerts each week In one of the public parks. The Roldlers’ Home Band plsv* rrinclpallv In the Home grounds, snd theli concert* draw large crowds.

In rtspect to the park*, attention I* directed to Washington I,nna Park, already mentioned In the advertising column* of "The Billboard There I* no qnestlon *a to that retaining It* strong hold on the public. The management ha* always pursued a most liberal policy, and It ha* t>een a paying Investment.

Glen Echo Park and CJievy Chase Lake are two extremely popular resorta reached by the electric railways under the management of Gen. George H. Ilarrlen. The former la noted for Its natural scenic beauty, while the latter Is lo¬ cated In the midst of the fashionable club sec tion.

Cbestpeake Beach, under management of Paul T. Waters, Evans Building, promise* to outstrip all fom er season*.

The river resorts, especislly Colonial Beach and Marshall Hall. will have their tens of tboussnds. Colonial Beach Is the rncenral home of the Washington family, and Marshall Hall, lying on the Potomac, almost directly opposite Mount Vernon, was formerly the estate Iwlong Ing to the celebrated Marshall family of Vlr ginia snd Maryland, that family of which th* great Chief Jusilce was a shining light The steamer. Charles Macallster ha* recently been overhauled and will resume her trip* to Marshall Hall and Mount Vernon. As all roads lead to Rome, so do all visitors to Washington go to Mount Vernon.

The Norfolk A Washington ffteamship Com pany will run their palatial steamers. The Routhland and the Northland, to Fortress Mon roe snd Norfolk. For comfort and luxury this line 1* unexcelled. A feature that ha* long been po(iular Is to leave Washington at six o’clock flaturda.v evening, spend Sunday at Norfolk and return Monday In time for the day’a work.

The New Norfolk Line, operated by the Poto¬ mac and Chesapeake Steamship Co., run* the stesmer Saint John every alternate day. except Monday, making three trip* a week, at $2 for one way, or $3 the round trip.

Another favorite water route I* that between Baltimore and Wsahlngton. controlled by the Maryland, Delaware and Virginia Railway Co.. Step'benson A Bro., agent*. They have fine hosts with latest Improvement*, and only a few day* ago added the Three River*, which ha* Just been completed *t the work* of the Maryland Steel Company at Sparrow* Point, near Baltl more.

The sightseeing motor car* seem Indtginous to Washington. They are In evidence In all large cities, but the remark 1* general by those who come here that they sre more largely patronised proportionately than In any other place. »>ne reason for this I* the condition of the *tre<-t* at the national capital that make* them Ideal for motor purpose*.

Practically Washington live* outdoor* during th* summer month*, and amusement manager* who want to make their enterprise* successful cater with that object In mind. They have learned to know this fact, and are generally willing to meet the people half way. TTie plea* ore seeker will find plenty here to amuse him. and the capitalist who has amusement* to offer will as readily reallxe ample harvest for hi* In vestment. E. S ARNOLD

KANSAS CITY, MO.

Kansas City I* a very busy and lively city these day*, prepsratory to the summer smiise ment season of 1910 at the park* and various recreation place* here. A visit to any of the park* evidence* this, and one visit makes one reallxe that Kansas City I* expecting the biggest season ever In summer amusement*. Just a* soon as the season close* in the fall, the prep aratlons for the new season are set In motion and during the long winter month* these go on without the public reallilng what a mighty task It Is to dress a park In entirely new at traction* and feature*, and when the opening days come, everything Is In readlnens and It all seem* so easy. A visit to the park In rehruarv Is not quite like going out In August, bnt this Is necessary. In order to tell The Billboard’* readers Just what Is going on In Kansas City, and what the parks here are doing

Electric Park, called ’’’The Coney Island” of Kansas City; In fact the Coney Island of the big Southwest, will seem like a new park to Kan sa* Cltylan*. and the visitor* within our gate* this summer. Many have marveled over the greatness, beauty and scope of Electric Park and said that It was handsome enough for a much larger city, but Mr M G Helm, owner and proprietor of Electric, always act* iip>n the principle that nothing I* too big or ton nice for Kansas City, and ha* exp*.nded hi* time, money and brains towards making Ele.- trie Park what It 1*. one of the show place* of the Pnlted State*, with all the latest devices for the public’s amusement, and all the nes and up-to-date feature* now so necessary for i high-class amusement resort, and Electric Park I* both for the masses and the classes; there I* nothing cheap. In the common understanding of the word about Electric, and yet one can feel that there Is no ’’highway robbery” there. A visit out there In the season cost* so little, that for the results obtained In the way of reeve ation and amusement, one feels It I* hardly worth thinking about.

The season of 1910 la the fourth In the New Electric's history, bnt the twelfth year that Mr. M. G. Helm ha* had an Electric Park, a white city, for Kansas City, and even Electric’s present handsomeness snd magnitude, this sea son will be a perfect r»-veIatlon to the park’s admirer*. Tliere will be ten new rldi-s snd at tractions, three of them coming direct from Coney Island. New York, and mme of these ten with the possible exwptlon of two. has ever been seen In the West before (tne of the new ride* wlli be the spiral coaster, which baa tieen building since January, and will te- ready at the park’s ojiening The Hpiral Coaster I* to take the place of the Shoot the Chute*. Then nin ■ of the finest touring band* In .America and Kii rope will lie feature sttrsctlon* at Electric this season, among them some old favorite* with and In Kansas City, and some never heard here he fore. It I* horded that The Banda Blanca will come to Electric this season. ** the leader of The Banda Blanca I* our Senor Mlchellno Angelo I.enge. of Kansas City, and known snd admired by all musicians and every one In Kansas City

Ther.s will tw- required forty one cashier* snd fifty three fjcki-t taker* *t Electric, this giving In some degree an idea of the many attraction* at the park. Will Rose’s Orchestra will plav in the German Village, where the vaudeville la to he. as before and William MorrI* will fur nish the vaudeville as heretoftire and that name stands for the best In vaudeville, and Kansas City can he assured of entertainment of the highest order this summer, Devinev’* Orche* tr* will discourse at the Itance Pavllbin and In the past year* pleased every one with the music P. F. CavlH will tie In charge of the Natato rinm. aa last season Mr. Cavlll will he re membered aa one e>f the finest swimmer* ever seen In Kansas City.

Mr. M G Helm, owner and proprietor of Electric. Is at present In Florida and will be away from Kansas City until April Mr. Helm

ha* contractfxl for an especial feature attrac tion from Florida, to be at Electric Ihla season, but Mr. Sam Benjamin won’t give out Just what thia ttlractlon la Iteyood the fact that It la “not sea cows, alligators, nor crocodiles, and that it has never been seen In Kansas City.” This *• anon, by the way Is Mr Benjamin’s thirteenth season a* manager of Electric Park, and he la a hustling manager, always with the park’s liest Interesta up|>ermo*t In bis ar tive brain.

Electric Park will o|H'n •Ither the last week In Miy pr the week liefore. It Is given out that the miialc alone, ami by this Is meant the band* that play Electric, will c<«t $lV).ia»tl for the short season of aeventeen week*.

Tijen there Is to be a splendid pyrotechnlcal display given aero** the lake In August, but Just what the nature of thia Is I* not |B-aslb|e to teil yet, but It la promised that It will surpass the grand displays given in the prevloti* years

Mr. E. Sohiberg. capable stage manager of the Orpheum Theatre, la to be again this season chief electrician at Electric.

Mr. Frank Allen, the |>opular properly man of the Orpheum, who had that Dinny attraction The Jolly Bachelor, at Electric last season, ha* not decided what he will do this summer. H. may premml The Jolly Bachelor again

Mr. M G. Helm ha* scotireil the smiisf- ■nent field In a |ter*onaI hunt ami Investigation of the actual merits of the attractions and va rioua prt>po*ltloo* brought to his notice, and promises Kansas City none but the best snd those really worth while

Now for the fair at Electric. ’This will b- the s.-cond annual fair of the Missouri Valiev Agricultural and Horllpultural Society of which Mr Helm la treasurer. This year It will b.- for two weeks, beginning September 24. and last Ing to October 9. Inclusive It will be on a larger scale In every way tban last year'*, and that was voted a genuine success by every one so this one ought to be the real ’’money maker” and pleasure glv«r. Of the forty four hoo’h* twenty eight bare already been sold, snd It I* thought the others will be gone by the time the park open* Preparatloo* for this gigantic fair have N-cn going on since the cloae of th-- park In October. 19<<». and with fifteen thousand dollar* In cash prlie*. blue ribbon* galore, the second annual bench show, potiltry exhibit, ete this fair will surpass anything ever seen In the Southwest. Then there I* to be an auto mobile *how. a boo* fide automobile show, given under the direction of the Mo'or Car Trades Association.

We bold an eapeclal Intereat lu tbe lUl Uaucb Wild Weat Sbowa tbla aeaaou, from tbe fact that they have wintered among ua, aud we have daily watched them re¬ build tbia gigantic amuaemeul macbiue from tbe botto.u, aud with all tbeir equipment being moatly uew, tbeir Ural appearance on our atreeta abould pri'aeut a apectacle uf glittering beauiy. Then probably what will be tbe Ural carnival of tbe aeaaon will be held In Eaat St. Loula by tbe Eagli-a, with tbe Lireat Cuamo^litau Carni¬ val Company furulabiug tbe attractiuua, aud like lUl Uaucb, will be newly det-urted aud equip¬ ped.

Ah to tb- aumci'T parka here, we muat give drat reciBgulliuu to Suburban Tark, from tbe fact that it la eutirely rebuilt, and will be one of the Uu.-at amuaemeat parka in tbe country. Tbe management, Sul aud Jacob Uppenbeimer, have undertaken tbla great taak, and will open about May Id, at au expenditure of (liou.uuo, and ev¬ ery fact gained from experience lu the operation uf tbe park will be utilized in tbe conatructlun. A Caxibu, that la modern in every respect, and being dUU feet lung aud 100 feet wide, will bouae all tbe variuua cuuceaaluua; alau an Arcade build¬ ing, dOxUO feet, will be furniabed with attractlona. 'Ibe tb.-atre, rebuilt on tbe moat modem (ilaUH, la lo be tbe borne of tbe atock company. Ita dimeuaiuua will be loll feet lung and lUo wide, tbe auditorium proper being -Kl feet In beigbl. Tbe stage will have an opening of 4Ux 'JO f.—t, aud U feet in height over all. lia actual l.-iigib aud height la Tox-lo feet. Sixteen dreaxi.ig rooms, all above ground, are titled with every c.Hiveuieuce; tbe stage mechanism in ev¬ ery letail la bulb uew and modern. Steel and coui-r.-te are tbe only structural Items employed, making It abaoluU-ly tire proof. Tbe il.iloo new ibali-s, eacdi J> lucb.-a wide, are to tie plnced lu the tlM-dtre, with comfort the rtrat object Uesidt-a tbe lake, sunken gardens, fountains, and other n-atful .imma-mcnta, tbe l>i>p.-tibelmers are iiiaUiliiig tbe u.-w.

Here we will bnd the lluett scenic railway ever built by Mr. Tbomp- tuu. lie baa bad the work in band all winter, and tbe opening In May will bud tbe park al must completely changed. Tbe band stand auJ .-utrance gate will be models of beauty, aud, as f.w the past bve yeara, Cavallo'a Band, of So muaiciana, will furnish tbe music. Tbe mauage ment will this year fall into tbe bands of Leo .McYlanua largely, who baa gained a world of knowledge under tbe late Col. Juo. D. Hopkins.

Ibimsr Carden, like others, will see a vast amount of ebangea. chief among which will be tbe -Verial Automobile Railroad, which has been building all winter, tbe concessions will be moatly all new, and the immense theatre built last year will house some splendid attractions, .ks in past yeara, tbe chief attraction will be light ..(wra and musical comedies.

Another new park will be opened this year, to Ik* known as Urind Park, and will operate ex travaganza as Its chief attraction. Manager Itott. M'ebb IS reconstructing this park from end to eii.l. and when Ibe gates are o|.eoed to tb.- pul.lic, nothing will be visible of the once llaHliag.-n P.xrk. under which name It was ones .•|»riie.l.

Ibe iKilicy of M'est End Heights has not yet Ikk-u announced, but will be about on tbe same liuea as other aeasons.

Maouion'i Park, in the extreme south end of the city, will again play vaudeville, booked by Ihe Mestern Vaudeville .kssocialivMi. Eclipse Park will agalu play tbe Svtanley tvtock Co., which have gained an enviable reputation here tbe list live seasons. Lemps’ Park has not yet announce Its ivollcy, but will run much as In past seasons.

Tb<- rumor here bas it that St. Louis will at last 'bis summer see tbe erection of an amuse iiiv-nt |>ark devoted exclusively to tbe colored |aq>ul.itioa. with all the riding devices that bavi made the other parks of Ibe couuutry famous. Phis should prove a money getter here, and It haa -Ks-n anxloualy sought for several seasons, sml nor until ibis yesr bas a suitable locativvn l«e»-n fouml.

M't- need not ask why all this mon.-y is Iw-lng sclent in St. Louis in one season, by park iiiauagers. as It can tie readily figured that their iuveslaicnts are safe. I^-t us pius< liHig I'livHigb to rotlect, aud ask ourselves if this IS ii.vt a city, with tbe mosi bTllliant future for aiiiiis, 11 eiils In the wtvrM today, and it might be sail!

dally encouraged. Although Big Island Park will retain many of tbe old forms of amuse¬ ment, such as tbe Roller Coaster, with its hundred thrills a minute, tbe Mystic River, Trip Through tbe Yellowstone, etc., tbe space for¬ merly ocupied by tbe Electric Theatre will this year accommodate a Shooting Gallery, and there will be a uew restaurant and possible bathing facilities. As tbe trolley lines runs from Min¬ neapolis to Exceision every half hour, and there is constant ferry service between there aud Big Island, Manager P. J. Metzdorf, whose genial personality bas contributed much towards tbe popularity of tbe park, feels confident that be Is well able to take care of the 'Twin City, as well as Lake Minnetonka patrons.

Still another pleasure resort and one of espe¬ cial Interest to East Slders, being situated at Columbia Heights, a suburb of tbe Mill City, is Kort-st Park, which, with its brilliant electric lights and wonderful electric fountain, shooting colored sprays a hundred feet into tbe air, pre¬ sents a most dazzling appi araiice. Fores: Park bas tbe usual amu.semeut devices such as tbe open air theatre, carousel, refreshment pa Villon, caue rack, etc., and a dance ball wbuse fame for novelty dances bas spread throughout tbe Twin Cities. Barn dances, moonlight dances, and masquerades are some of Its specialties, and wbal with a splendid orchestra, smooth door and Competent reception committee, bun dreda throng tbe park fur this mode of recrea tiuu. Forest Park caters also to family picnics, aud bas spacious picnic grounds, benches, swings, aud a grove of luzurlant shade trees.

Mr. tv. H. Kahn, who so capably mauaged tbe park siuce its opeuiug, three years ago, will agaiu l<x>k after its interests for tbe cumlug season.

For tbe music-loving public. Lake Harriet, another of our "beauty spots,” otters a special imiucement wiih Its dally taftermvon and eve ningi concerts of both classic, semi-classic and popular si-lections, rendered by the -Minneapolis Park Baud, under tbe direction of \V. Warville Nelson, tbe season commeuciug June 21st. As other attractions for tbe pleasure seekers, Har rlet boasts of a puny track, gasoline launch, boats, bathing facilities, restaurant and family picnic grounds, w-bile tbe boulevards are favorite promenades. This park is among those op eratvd by tbe Minneapolis I'srk Board.

Ye who love tbe haunts of nature will not go amiss when In tbe Mill City by visiting our must noted park, Miuuebaba Falls, made famous by 'lenry Wadsworth Longfellow, in bis world renowned ' Hiawatha," wbicb is also under the management of tbe Minneapolis Park Board. This beauty spot, rich In legends, is tbe scene of many family picnics aud gatherings, while trar.sienrs, cameras in band, are always to be found here.

.Adjoining tbe park, and thus most appropri ately named "Longfellow Gardens,” is a zoulug leal and botanical exhibit, well worth seeing, which is owned and managed by R. F. Jones, one of Minneapolis' pioneer residents. These gardens contain more than a thousand wild and domestic animals and birds, while green lawns, well kept Uower beds, rustic twldges and num erous lagoons lend mucii t(<wsrd tlic beauty of tbe place. In tbe gardens is an exact repriMuc- lion v-f Longfellow's New England borne, as well ss a magnificent marble statue of tbe poet. -As an additional attraction, many performances are given dally lu tbe little open-air theatre, w'berc tbe mammoth elephant, Jumbo II., is pul through bis many tricks by Miss Mabel Hall. Giber trained animal acts are added from time to time. The opening this spring will mark tui- fourtb suctvssful season of tbe gardens and It is lo be expected that, under tbe capable man agement of .Mr. Jones, it will continue as a lK-rm.inent feature of tbe Mill City's summer HiiiusvMiienIs.

Thirty fourth street and Fourth avenue, Soutb. marks the site of our large circus lot, where such attractions as Ringliug Brothers, Barniim ami Bailey. Forepaugb-Sells. MIIKt Brothers' 101 Ranch and other wild west shows, drew enor iiious crowds, while Gentry Brotliers' Dog and Pony Show- makes Its beadiiuarters at Thirteenth street and Nicollet. It Is also rumored that Herman Smith is ivlauning an indoor circus tor this summer, to be given at the .Armory.

•As regarvls indoor amusements, the MetropoII tan. Bijou and Orpbeum rheatres will close thv li regular season early in June, while th-.' Dew..y iWestern M'bwli, and the Oayety (Eastern Wbeeli, will continue their performances until .August, when they will both close for a month, oivening again for the regular fall season. In spite of these facts, however, theatricals will not suffer a complete ecliivse during the warm wearher. Both of the theatres booking Sullivan Considine attractions, namely, the Miles and tbe l'nii)ue, will remain o|veu ibroughont tbi summer, while there will undoubtislly be keen comiK-titivva iK^tw-eea the two rival stock com panies. which will hold down tbe boards at Iht Lyrric and Metro|iolitan theatres.

■UUEAX, CUEA.NKK, CUEANFiST." While realizing tbia policy to be tbe fountain

bead of tbe park a aucceaa supply, yet not alone on tbia phase do tbe olticera of the Ontario Keacb iiolel ami Amusement Company real tbeir bo|M-a for tbe making of another record in tbe park's attendance. Many elements bare cous|dred to warrant tbe assumption of the season soon to arrive aa being awarded thi (tanner position in tbe two decades of tbe re¬ sort's successes. Primarily, there exists the t>ver tvtsi feet Of sandy (teach, with Its spacious (trumenailes and inviting teraces, from which one may view tbe glorious panorama of shifting water-cclor effects, relieved here and tber> by tbe white expanse of yacht canvas, gor geous sunsets, or tbe Canadian vessels that ply into an almost continuous link between tbe in battltants of tbia siile and our "over ‘ome’’ cousins. Kormitig a background for this Is-au tiful natural setting, stretches tbe half square of tmildings with tbeir strikingly varied arcbi lecture and faced tty wide spaces of lawn, (lower t>eds and gardening effects. On the .Music Shell are given, twice daily, concerts, while on tbe largest free open-air stage (siastet. tiy any amusement park in tbe country, are pro duced tbe cream of novel and spectacular acts, this i>ortioa of tbe park t>eing known as the ■■Cirque de E’air,’’ and proving a potent factor in attracting immense crowds daily. I’icnie grounds with pavilions, attendants and complete equiimieut are Dumliered among the '■crowd lure" features, in which department a force is main tained throughout nearly tbe whole year, foi tbe purpose of securing tbe outings and special days of organlzatioDs and societies.

Of particular note is the fact that, scheduled for Kochester during tbe coming summer, are altout 50 conventions of State and National or ganizations, tbe main feature of the enter (ainmeut of w bosedelegates, will, no doubt, in conformity with arrangements inw in course of ■completion. iHi'ur at Ontario Keacb I’ark. .kpro|ios of (tig. spis'lal affairs held at the r< Bort. la ■•Children’s Hay.” I.«st year fully 40,«sa> little ones of all ages, sorts and condl tloDS, together with fathers and mothers, took liossessiou of tbe park. At different times tbe crowd became so dense as to ne-cessitate thi cloaing down of tbevarious devices and attrac tlons in order to avert chances of accidents. Yet this la but one of the many instances of days arrangisl by a resourceful department foi kee()ing alive tbe interest throughout tbe season.

Prmiinent in tbe list of the park's attractions are the scenic railway, Virginia reel (the largest of Its kind ever constructed!, dancing pavilion, circle swing, giant carousel. Hotel Ontario, Jap anese village and bazaar, illusion theatre, Ger man village, auditorium and tbe one hundred and <Hie minor concessions that go to make up tbe merry whirl of tbe well regulated summer park pro|>osition. Incltidetl in tbe innovations fur tbia season are wireless telegraphy stations, a line of miniature battleships marking tbe lake front and. |>erhaps the most pretentious feature, the eliH'trical and s<’cnic iiroduction “Out of the North,” to be constructed in the auditorium building, where was formerly the "Johnstown Fltsal.”

Tbe story of tbe latter Is bawd upon tbe niemoral)le events of the Greeley Arctic Exia'dI tion, one of whose memta-rs, the lamented Lieu tenant Frederick F. Kisllngbury, being a former citizen of R<a'bester, N, Y., and who played a lirave and conspicuous part in the episode, Eieuter.ant Kislingtmry’a records and paiaTs were found at (.'ape Conger tiy Eleutenant Peary and tiy aim returned to Lieutenant Kislingbury’s linitber. who resides In the Flower City.

TOLEDO, O.

'Ibe amusi'ment situation in Toleilo is in a s..rt of lethargic condition and as far as the big theatres are concerins! busim*ss has lM*en far from encouraging. The big attractions play¬ ing the Valentine, the big syndicate bouse, have met with very |nair business and the atcndatM'e at siane of the shows has Iwh'D dls- bearteniug. A few of the tiig favorites have ieft town with some financial satisfaction, but generally siieaklng business has been far from go. si.

•kt the Auditorium, the .*vliubert bouse, con- ilitions have tx-en equally bad. and in spite of the untiring efforts on the part of the very <'om|M-teDt manager, Otto Klives. it has bi-en impossible to .Iraw anyth.ng like g.sid houses to tbe excellent attractions Uie Ismse has played. Toletlo has easily proven itwlf to be a cheap town as far as the theatrical buslueH Is concerned, and with the existence of tbe many mualler vaudeville and picture bouses.

there seems to be little hope, at least at tbe lireaeut, fur tbe higher class and Indter attrac¬ tions. At the Lyceum, the Stair and Havlin house, business has been excellent and many of the shows have played to danly sell outs, even on week stands. A deal of tbe success of (bis impular little playhouse la due to tbe nmiarkable work of Jt'a enterprising and competent young manager, Edward Kelsey, wlio has, by bia orlg.ual methods and clever puldlclty, made tbe Lyceum, Toledo’s most ts.|>ular resort. .Manager Kelsey la a former newspaper man and press agent, and is not a writer of bright and catchy material, but uiqs'ars to pvissesa tbe faculty of lauding tbe stuff he writes, and of getting more free i>ub licity than any other press agent In town. The Emiure (Eastern Wheel) burlesque is do ing well, and business is improving all the time. 'I'be lamse is under tbe management ot Harry Winters who has made a number of changes in couditKius and who seems to have done better w ith the theater than any of It’s furmvq- managers.

'1 he Arcade, for so long a white elephant In local theatricals, is at last a success, and a ileal of cri-dit is due to It's enteriirlslng man ager. Will C. Bettis, fur the phenomenal change in couditious. Fur several seasons thi house was a “juiiah” and although every form of iiuUcy, from Stock to moving pictures, was essayed, there seemed to be no chance of mak ing the unlucky “show shop” (wy dirideods. .Mr. Bettis, representing the IK-ttls Amuse ment Co., then took hold of tbe theatre, auu opened with pictures and vaudeville, the acts being Ituoked through Gus Sun, and from the start business went up with a boom. The house has a ca|iacity of over ll.UUO, and it al ways packed at every show. 'Three shows ari given daily and some really good bills ari offered. An orchestra of seven pieces furnishes the music, and the house is now cousidereo to be oue of the biggest money makers in the ten cent vaudeville business. The Americau, formerly Burt's Theatre, is also under tbi manageuwut of .Mr. Bettis, and is enjoying It’s tirst siK'll of iirosperity, since the iialmy days of .Al WiHsls and Blauey melodrama. The I’aycen Stuck Co. are furnishing the attractions, and are giving some satisfactory shows, draw¬ ing large houses, with daily matinees. There is a new ten cent vaudeville theatre here, the Urpheum, located in tbe same budding as tbe old Crystal, the former Ammon's A HuboU iHiiise here. It is being operateil by Chas. Nassr, the forumr owner of the Crown here, and has every chance of doing well. .At present the programs are hardly up to tbe gtaudanl. but It is uudersloivl that better acts are forth coming as soon as satisfactory arrangements ■ an be made.

(hie of live features of the show consists of short travelogs which are given by an Interest ing young talker who describes tbe various travel scenes In an able manner.

'The nsiviug jilcture theatres all apfiear to be enjoying prosiierity, and several houses have started In the past few months. The Royal, tormerly controlled by the Casino Co., of Detroit, has been acquired by Frank Kraily of the Triucess. Mr. Brally, now i>ractlcally coo trols the picture situation in Toledo having ob tained |>osses.sion of th** three most profitable of the smaller bouses in the city. These are the Trluces, the Royal and the Oown. Man ager Brady is (smtemiilating a big theatrical deal In Toledo but aiqiears unwilling to dis close any of his plans for tbe time being.

TTie Coliseum is being otierated as a skating rink ami several exhibitions and commercial shows have been given during the season. Ihese include electrical shows, food shows, (siultry allows, dairy exhibits, automutille shows and other similar expositions. TTie Coliseum is iiiuler the management of Frank Uakea Roue, the well known stiectacle producer who Is as sisted In the management of tbe mammoth building by B«*rt Dunn, formerly of Bellvm Tark. At Memorial Hall several conventions and trade exhibitions have been given includ ing the re<'eut hardware show which was a big success.

Ttie outliMik for the summer jiarks is none too encouraging and it is doutitful if any money will be s|>eut this season on Improve luents or new attractions. White City will re-ois-n early in May, but there will be no charge for admission, and the management will detM'nd largely upon the swimming l>ool and dance hall for It's end of the (irofit. Regard Ing the Casino and Ijike Erie I’ark tiut little information ran be obtained, and it is not yet certain Uiat the park will b? o|»-ned during the coming season. The annual carnival In aurgurated last season, ami intemled to be an annual affair, will protiably be held some lime during the fall. It Is kmiwn as King Wamtia and was. from some stan<l|>oints, a success. It is a municipal affair and was large ly in the hamis of local (sdltlclans wlm sadly mismanaged many of it's most im|>ortant features, ami It Is rumored that theflnanclal results were far from satisfactory, and that a deal of the money went astray. Toledo Is a pros(ierous and thriving city, ami is yearly becoming of more imiiortam-e In tbe amuse ment world. It is a favorite convention city and Is a wide ofs'n town. As a circus town It has a big reputation and Is rousidered to be one the tilggest winners in the middle West. It Is a big railroad center and Is one of the busiest shiiqiing |M<rts on the Great Ijikes.

There are several Motion Dlcture Film Ex changes in the city only one <rf which is hand ling association films. This Is the Kent Film Supidy Co., which a|q>ears to lie doing a big business. The oldest ami biggest fs.ncern in town is tlie Toledo Film Exchange, miw an In dependant firm wKh siiaclous offices on Siifierlor St., one of Tolislo's main thorouglifares. The Toledo Film Exchange is managed tiy B<1 Smith, one of the tx'Ht kmiwu men In the picture In dustry ami llieir shliqilng rooms are a p«n demoniuin of tieehlvelike activity. A. A. Gott slial Is the m-cretary and treasurer of tbe firm and Is a (lofiular man In town. A new branch of their business Is tbe art department where posters, signs ami announcement slides are made tiy the btindrtsls. Tills di-partment Is under the direction of W. S. niorjs-, who Is turning out some original and artistic work.

There is a smaller Independant tlmi In town, known as the Superior, but very little news can be obtaine<l coiicemlug them, and It la stated that the business la shortly to change hands.

CINCINNATI, O.

Even at this writing, the blue bird, Ibat tiny press agent of spring. Is chronicling tbe arrival of natures most tieauliful pnslucthm—

I sumnicr. But a few weeks more, of Inclement weather Is expeceled. after which spring with Its warm days and |>leasant nights, will be given a welcome, such as It has not n-celved

by us for many and many a season. TTie past winter has been tbe must severe that has via Ited us fur many years, therefore, that fair weather will be received more joyously than usually Is obvious. Notwithstanding the cotu weather that has prevailed for tbe |>ast sev¬ eral months, the theatres were llbi-rally pat runized and show an increase in earnings over last year. Neither has the |iark manager, been conquereil by the cold blasts and chilly air. While u|N‘ratiuus were sus|H-mled, ami tbe uec essary imptruvemeuts delayed, all the resorts will be ready fur a gala oiieulug aa early this season as they were in IMV. Tbe Hue U)i of vjueen City Summer amusements Is practlc ally the same as it was last year. Coney Island with Its wealth of trees and shady lanes, has been umlergolng a series of lm|>n>vemeuts tbe past several months. Every building, from the clubhouse to tbe iteket otllce of the merry go-round, has been redecorated, with I'uplous portions of paint, and tbe com-esalous ami larger amusement devices were either strength euevt or rebuilt. Tbe same general policy In vogue last year will be followed. Tlie Island (Jueen and I’rincess the two must elaborate ami commodious steamers that ply the Dhio River will be In commission again to convey the crowds to tbe popular park In tbe wvhsIs. Vaudeville, and free attractions will tie of feted as heretofore, by amusement manager. George Wellington Euglebretb, wb« fur (be past Several seasons has prois'lled tbe smuse ment end of tbe liark, and who has (H-eii re engaged for tbe coming season. A numlM-r of tsipular features. Including a circle swing chute the chutes, and elegant cluti hoUM' make this resort oue of the most fatuous In this section of tbe woods. The formal u|K‘ulug of Coney IslamI will take platv on May kt*. follow ing the siweial day for the Shrlm-rs. who for the past several years have usiil the |iark exclu sively for one day, usually tbe day previous to tbe (lUblic inauguration. Sumlay excursious will be run down the river to Fernliatik. .Aurora and Ijtwreuceburg every Sunday until the sessisi starts, commencing March 1.’*.

Chester park is really tin* largest amnseiiieut resort In Cincinnati, if the uumtier of amuse ment devices ami concessions count for any thing. While this park iloes not oiver as much ground as Coney Island or the Ixigom, it em ploys a larger uumtH*r of attractions. By far the liest feature is the Stock conqiany which i>reseots light and comic o(sTa. lAst season, a numts-r of |Bi|iular o|>eras where re vivevl, much to tbe ilelectatiou of Cincinnati's music loving |h>pu1buiv. To prove that we of the tjueeu City are lovers of music, large aiidl cnees greeted, at nearly every |s*rformance of tbe season, a company, that was first class in every respect. It is to be ho|ie,l that Call. .Martin, tbe genial manager of Chester, will maintain for tbe si-asou of IttlO, an opi-ra company that will be able to duplicate the success made last year. There are other feat ures of this park that In themself would be sufficient to make tbe park a success—but we want o|iera, Donald Dunbar, who is handling tbe publicity end for (he Diyibeum Theatre, assumes (he position as press agent, and being a well known and popular newspais-r man. the suwesstul advertising of the park is assured. Boating, bathing, dancing and other out door amusements, have proved singularly succ>*ssful at Chester, and will again be n-gular features. Tbe opening date will tie the secoml Sunday in .May, tiy which time all imiirovements will be complete.

The Cincinnati Zoological Garden In addition to offering naturalists every tqitMirtunity to (lur sue their studies, is also very popular as a summer resort, and is patrouizevl by the best (Msiple of Clnciunatl and the many contiguous towns and villages. Musically Inclined ix-r sons are attract^ to this park by the large transient bauds who render concerts every night during tbe summer season. Creature. Vessela, Brooks. Weber, Sousa. Innes. I’hilliplnl. 'Thaviu, and The Kilties, are among the musical organizations that are tssiki-d. for iHie and two week's engagements. The |>rogratumes are usu ally diversified, and range from the most classic compositions, to the (Hipular and semi classic and ragtime uuiub<-rs. Very frequently s|H-cial tsipular programmes are arranged, either liy tbe band or the |iulillc. 'Ttiaviu while at tbe Zoo last year had oih- evening on which tbe entire programiiie was made ui> of selections requestetl tiy tin- |>uldlc. This IH'rformance proved highly suci-essful and it is to be hoped that some of the other large orgauizatioiia will arrange sinilliar isividties. The Z<si Is tbe largest of Cincinnati I’arks. that charge admission. Ttie entire park Is covereil with magnificent shade tn-es. each tieing latxded with tbe name and native h<Hne of the tree. The collection of animals. tilriH*. and re|itiles. Is one of the largest In the United States, In fact, nearly every spi-cles la re|ires«nted. Tlie clubhouse Is a very Imisirt ant factor in the succiam of the 7.>m<. S|Hs-lal dinner parties may be s<-en any evening. In summer, occupying the spacious verandas (hat entirely stirroniKl the clulihonse. I'lie cuislin- e<|uals, if not excels, that of any of (he hs-al hotels or cafes. *1110 Zoo la an all year round pro|sisitlon and is never chaied.

Oue of the prettiest parks In Kentucky Is the Lagisin, which lies iM-twi-eii two wissled hills, just <i|i|sisile the western eixl of Cincinnati. This park is the |M>t lediby of J. J. Weaver, well known all over the country as an ex|iert civil engineer. Tlie fact that Mr. Weaver owns the park argia-a well that hi- would do everything possltile to Increase its isipularity — and he does. laist season he Imllt a new de vice known as automotiillng In the tree io|m. This concession Is what Its name Implies, an auto track luillt fifteen or inor»‘ feet fnaii the ground clnling the entire park. The cars, very lutich the same aa a regular touring car. soar through an avenue of trees thereliy afford Ing a ride that Is extriunely novel as well as enjoyable.

The parks that have tnu-n enumerated atsive. form the principal n-creatlon for bs-al amuse ment lovers, however, there are several liathing beaches and a nuintier of smaller parks and gardens that conie in for their share of patron age. A new company la Is-ing f'loned that will erect a pleasure resort in CiucInnstI, hut as their plans have isit as yet lieen divulged, it is protiable that their park will not lie ready In time for tbe Ittlll si'ason.

The theatres still continue to do a g<sid business, as the Is'liteii sessoti la isiw over. Many persona who denied themselves tlx* pleas lire of the theatn- during the holy (line, are again aiixuig the familiar faces seen at the sev¬ eral playhouses.

It Is very probable than an aut'snolille track will Ih' constnicteil In Itosixlsle, Ky., a (own five miles south of Cincinnati. Hi'veral well known tTIncInnatlans are hack of s movement which. If successfully carried fsit, will convert a large trset of land at lUsu'dale Into <ine of the best one and one half <ir two mile tracks

now otwratlng. 'lYie company has already been lucortsirati d fur a sum of f|tt,(NSi, with autbur It) to raise same to fjtsi.tasi Eleven tbousanil dollars’ wis-th of slisk has already tx-en sun scrltx-d for, and wllhiu Hie next few weeks the full aiinxiiil of yjtsl.isai Is exixx-ted to be raised. Two of the richest men In Ibe city have prmnlsed to lake a big Interest In the track.

It has not yet Ix'eU derided whether the track will lie t-ullt of brick or Imard. 'The At lanta Npeedwa) Is a Ixiard track, and as it has proved more satisfactory than the lirick track, the (xurds will proiialily hold forth. It la as sured that (he first meet will take place uu Jill) I, and if the m-cessary capital is gut to gelh-'r, work on the track will start Ix-fure the first mouth of spring la over. It will lake no loiigi-r than two months to have everything ciMiiplelisI, and if the plans do not go amiss, like the former ones. CiDcinnatlans, as well as Kentuckians and other uearliy townsmen, can look forth to some real auto racing

. "Say. dad, ain't thia t;<a>d? .Ain't you klail you brunk me?’’ ‘-|'•'annts. |••allula: evi-rylaMly at a i-lrcua i-ata peanuts.’’ ‘T’nipli. this is Just the same kind of a cirrus I saw when I was

a shaver Same rai'k*'t. same spatiKlea. same clowins. 'They don't tia.iroM- mni-b in rireus<-a.’’

.And when you i;o iiutslde. I’m wouderini; If you won’t ffrumlih* iH-vaU'i- th" same stars are ahlului;. with the same old round tmam. Ihr saiio' -lid wind, amt tomorrow it will Ih- the same old blue sky. iIh- same old i:reen And yet you are always tellinj; me that the w-uiieii I'haiik’e styles tisi often. A'ou find fault when things stay the same, ami when they change, you grumble too.

•‘Oh. dad. dadille, ain’t this the N-st you ever saw? I wisbt 1 could see ’em all. Four to om-t, all over, aud u.i in the air. tmi. ami. oh. see the lady slappin’ the man. My, she knocked him ilown. Sny, dad. was he hurled? Now she steps on him. She Isn’t very iwltle, la she. mother?”

Krlght-eyed eiellenent shone from a pair of big. round, brown eves as they darteil with rapid, blnl like gl.ims-a over llo- big arena at the circus last night. The antics of the clowns, the |s>uderoja tricks of the big elephants, the agility aud grace of the horses In the two farther rings, with the small imules aud dogs In the center ring, all goiug on at once, doubtless guve the youngster a weird, «ju»-er fwllng of unreality. He clapiie-l bta bands In the abandi-n of au|ireme delight amt then hiirityl bis htmd for very Joy.

•■Had. why don't they have circuses every day? Ain't they fine?” That la what a big teiilful thought last night atauit the circus. Kvery kid In town

was tbi-rv, ynnugsters and grownup on<-s. hollering with lusty hilarity, while the women looked on with frank approval. It was tie- circus <if the itnys when the world was very young and wonder c»lore<l and illiinilnatisl life. <Y*'<lulity and imagination gave a wonder¬ ful vista to young eyes, so womlerful Imb-etl. that tlwre was not the least dlscrei>ancy noticed b<‘twe<-n the thrilling cirrus |ss>ters aud the circus Itself.

The sublimation of thrilling enjoyment us.sl to be achievisl when the big circuses came along with their thn-e rings of wonder acts, but the circus last night went this at least one better. Thi-re were four rings of animation and grotes<iueries. of nlmlileness and agility, and like a funny ring around a rosy, every ring had Its outer ring of clowns that k«-pt the teiitfnl of folks In a eontiniial tltl*-r. Knnniest of all, a real "lady clown” ami her boxing bout with th«- big clown and finally with the referee. ktKx’ging them both out. was a dixry scream.

Kut niftiest, newisi and swaggen-st <’f all were the “laily ringmasters.” There was a pair of ’em statnes<pie. haughty.Imiking bnim-ttes In red coats, high boots and silk halB, and zip zip xip, how Ihi-y swNhoil lh>-lr long Macksnako whips around the arena ainl how the baiidsono'. stsiw wlil*e h->rs»-s did prance amt gallop. And instead of the awkward flunkeys who h<-l.l the h<s.|s< for the damsois with the tSHiuettlsh tartan skirties, there were trim, bright little girls in velvet ami spangles.

Haa the cln-ns Improved? Just g€i amt s.-e. |)|d yon ever s.-.- a man dam'ii>g on golden stilts across a tight wire

sns|M-nde<| across the ars-na? I>til yon «-ver wo. In your sam-. mirinal moments, the spectacle of a live Aistllo ilaneing on his teeth?

WORLD’S FAIRS To be Held in Various Parts of the

World During the Next

Few Years

PKOGRtSS OF TUB INTERNATIONAL EX¬

HIBITION AT TURIN.

Consul Albert II. Mlebelson writes that the construction of the buildings of the Interni- tlonal Exhibition of Industries and Labor to be held in Turin during the months of April to October. 1»11, is now far advanced, and will without doubt be completed well in time for the opening date of the exhibition. The consul's details follow:

One of the buildings, the large machinery hall, is to serve for the Annual International Auto moliile Exhibition of April, IttlO.

In view of the progress made and the prob¬ ability that the exhibition will be entirely ready by the date set for Its opening. American manu- i facturers are urged not to delay forwarding their applications for admission. These appll cations sh'Uild be received by the Turin execu¬ tive committee (Oommissione Esecutiva per 1’ , ^posixione Internaxionale dl lull, Torino) not later than March 31, IfllO. They may either be forwarded direct to this committee or through the International Exi>osition Bureau, 16 Produce Exchange Building, New York City. This bu¬ reau is in a position to furnish full details and information regarding the exhibition, and to offer valuable advice to manufacturers. Appli- i cations received by the committee after March 31, llMti. will In all likelihood be accepted until July. 1910, or even later, but the execu¬ tive committee can give no assurance that the ^ amount or location of the space applied for ; will then be at its dis|>osal.

It is important that American manufacturers ' be well representeil at this exhibition, both because of the great rapidity with which Italy continues to expand industrially and because the exhibition itself will be purely industrial in ; character. American manufacturers have prob¬ ably not yet been offered such an attractive op¬ portunity to enter Italian markets and to make their wares known under the most favorable conditions.

PARTICIPATION BY GOVERNMENT—LOCAL

AGENTS. A large number of foreign nations have sig- I

nIOed their intention of taking part officially in the exhibition. Among these, England. France, - and Germany, with buildings covering in areas of square feet of 3‘Jl.OUU, 258,000, and 155,000. n-siH-ctlvely, will make special efforts to turn the opportunities of the moment to the advan tage of their commerce and industries. Other large buildings will be (in square feet): The Machinery Hall (215,000), the Palace of Elec¬ tricity (150,000), the Hail of Agriculture (195,- 000), and the building representing the activi¬ ties of Italians in foreign lands (97,000). The total area under cover will be 64 acres, and the total area of the exhibition grounds 247 acres.

The executive committee states that building and other contracts, representing over $1,000.0<S), nave already been given out, and that the re¬ ceipts to date amount to about the same sum. The total ex|*endltures will not be less than 12.500,000.

SPAIN.

A NATIONAL EXPOSITION AT VALENCIA.

Henry C. Ide, American minister to Spain, forwards a copy of a royal decree on the sub¬ ject of a national exposition, to be held at Val enela during 1910, on which he comments;

A regional ex[>osItlon was to have been held In Valencia during lOtKt. but owing to the war In Morocco and the disturbances in Barcelona this was not a success, and it was decided to transform this affair into a national exposition, and the Government will ask the Corti-s for an a(>pro|>riation of $:(.■».U<iO to aid this prvpject. Tile eX|sisltion will b<- held under the ausiilces of the Ateneo .Mercantll de Valencia. This ex jsisltlon may lie of interest to touriste and bus Iness men traveling in Spain.

THE WINNIPEG WINTER CARNIVAL.

Consni-Geiieral J. E. Jones invites attention to the fact that Wlnnlis-g is to have a Winter Carnival, an l that the first one will be held In Febniary, 1911.

THE FATAL KNOCK

A street-man stood on the hurrican deck Of a dray on a corner at night

The air was crisp with autumn's chill.

With a warning of winter in sight.

His cheek was blanched and his coat was frayed, As he stood 'neath his notions and ware,

A shiver ran through his weakened frame,

'Neath the light of his “Baker's" glare.

He started strong on his opening “spiel,"

And the crowd was attentive, and bound

There was something desperately earnest in him. That his humor could hardly drown.

He held his crowd with a grip of steel;

Inspired, he seemed, that night— As he finished up his opening talk.

And not a dead one in sight.

A smile lighted up his pale, wan face. For he knew it was good as gold;

He could read a crowd as you would a book.

His goods were the same as sold.

His small leaders went, like corn to the chicks. The nickels and dimes came in fast;

He led the push up to the big stuff to come.

For he was sure they would stay till the last.

It meant more to him than a mere passing “pitch."

It meant home. Nell, baby and all; If he only got off with a get-away roll.

He would call it all off for this fall.

For his luck had been bad; his health had been poor. His “readers” had drained his small purse;

He hadn’t worked hard for over a month. And was going from bad to the worse.

He paused for a moment to catch his breath. Ere he opened on his one great feature;

On his face there seemed a palor of death. As he picked up the silverware “kelster.”

He talked on their merits, then paused for awhile. As the crowd drew in closer to see;

They were ready to buy, as he sighed, with a smile: “It's a clean-up, and home, now, for me.”

But. no! a man from the edge of the crowd. Came wedging his way to the front;

“What fake is this? Let me see what's the graft. For I'm out on a gold-brick hunt."

The street-man faltered and swayed on the stand— His strength had been taxed to the limit;

But the knocker continued his fatal harangue; “A sucker is born every minute.”

A ripple of mirth followed the last remark. But it froze as it grew to a laugh;

The comedy took on a tragic effect.

As the knocker continued his gaff.

The young man staggered, with hands to his heart. 'Twas the “knock” he always had feared;

His strength was gone, he couldn't go on.

For he knew that hLs sale was “queered"

With a cry of despair he fell to the ground.

His lips were an ashen gray; Kind hands helped and laid him down.

With his trunks, on the back of the dray.

He aroused himself, with an effort to smile As the crowd called for an M. I).;

“Never mind, boys, there’s no one can help.

For it’s all over, now, with me.

I tried my best to make good once more. For the sake of my baby at home;

And my wife, who is waiting, will wait in vain.

For the “knock” wouldn’t let me alone. She will be better off. not to hear of this deal.

They will realize in time, don’t you know?

It’s better thus than a sudden shock.

And Nell never could stand the blow."

His breath grew short, the tears rolled down.

As he paused with his thoughts of the past; “Never mind who I am. Just plant me right here.

In the town of my blow-off the last.

I’ve made my last “pitch,” I’m going, good-bye. And In judgment I’ll sit without fear;

And when God, In His wisdom, harks to my plea,

I will hope that no knocker is near.”

THE TROUBLE WITH CARNIVALS.

By W. 8. WRIGHT.

Is tbe raroival business gidiig to tbe dogiv This question I will try to answer.

Thesi- days, the world at large Is clamoring for amnseun-nt, ainl the qiiestl.m Is rl|ie to pick The boiiest purveyor is often fomtl to defiend u|>on a class that has no scruples, car¬ ing as little for a rsvntrart as they do for a

, burnt match. A busin«-ss that la far nnire reaching than vaudeville lias be,-n allowed to degenerate to an alaniiliig extent, tn-cause there hasn't been a Keith or a Be<-k at the head of It. The rut It Is In lisiks, to the busy man ager. as If If has gone to the dogs. Grafters and thieves ar>> hanging on. as other (Vsirs are fast closing. The honoralde manager must auf fer In consequence.

These fellows flutter In a town of five thon sand or mor«-. frame up without paying for any thing. If ftn-y are tn luck, then s,-parate the town's [H>ofde from their money In any way con <>-lvable to th*-lr scheming minds. Thev gen erally leave with a scire of bills unpaid. an<l. In some Instances, become public chsrges. Can yon _ Imagine a man with a gooil r«>cord, who won’t stand for rr<s>k,il business methods, cull¬ ing to that town? Me wonders why he (loesn’t do business; the b,-tter cisss shuns his shows, and the last day he Is told the reason. Tm late; the damage la done. The towm Is event nalty black lisfeil hy the reputable manager anit concewsionalre. when. In c-atlfy. It Is gotsl pay ground. In many cas,>s. the promoter falsifies his statements to the cin(*essinnalre, who. In turn, leaven him In ttw lurch, and the word ‘‘camlval” hcc>mes a huge Joke In the town.

Then, again, the <*onc’snlonalre amt showman are working on a sh<iestrlng. and at the eleventh hour wires tbe msnager or promoter Ihst he Is without funds. It Is then np to the msnager to advance railroad exin-nscs If h«* wants to got out of the hole and save bis reputation as well Thi-re Is very little honor In a niirntw-r of these people, and the law. In many cases, has to step In. as was demonstrated last Oefoher In Pur ham. N. C., when a promoter was locked nii for looting the ballot hox,.s for a voting cintest. and also failed to have the prizes on hsml at the aiipointed time. I f.dt their hand the same month. After onr camlval at North Beach. I.ong Island, I was engagtsl. with my manager. Mr. Abrams, to promote s camlval and voting (vmtest In Haversiraw, New York, and con- trart<d for twenty live shows and cmcesslons. The majority of the attractions were not from the Beach. Two promoters, who w,Te then lr» Newburgh. New York, had fire of the shows who broke their eonirscis with roe. and hmiight fficm to Kingston. New York .kfter Iwentv

■ four hours Ih,- entire lot of shows was stranded. . One of these pronmters had the unmitigated

nerve to cune to my town and ask for a two. hnmind dollar Isinns and a i>*-rc*ntage to return the shows he hsi| st<den from me.

It Is nnnec-ssary to say that I handled the pro|insltlon without kl,l gloves, and dn>ve him off the field Th'-se grafters from New York. Newburgh ami Kingston, almost floored me. After a hard battle I won out amid flying cdors. with no thanks to them This exper tence has glv<-n me a further Insight to lh« hnslness. wher*- iintirlnelfd,d m,-th(sls are nsi-d all around, the main aim Is to hle,d the pnl> lie. DO matter how it Is done. The world is wide and thes«. grafters ke,>p roving. The day

^ Is not far distant when they will si,fi off one ear an,| be t<dd to take the next ear out. This diM.s not aiqd.y to the honest man

All this ran he otditerated and made Info a healthy hnslness pmisisltlon Inside of twtdve months. If th,- honest pemofers and managerw w’lil cfuiihine for miitnsi proti-etlon and advance¬ ment. It ran b*- done, amt the sooner It is done, the better for the eommnnity at targe and thi* h,‘ft,.rment and advsnretnenf of the carnival hnslness In general.

(l.st)—W’c pledge you our word that the story circulated throuffh the newspapers to the elVeel that .Judj'e Xoyes’ decision fîves any one “e.xelusive rij'lits to nianufaeture inovinjt pictures,” is a hald-faeed, black-hearted lie.

(2ud)—There is not the remotest danger that we will be compelled to close our Imp factory for even the fraction of a minute.

Getjhis Imp Film if you have to Beg, Borrow, or Swipe it!

‘ TRANSFUSION ’ (Released Monday, March 28th. Length 960feet.)

This is what I call a film classic! For it not only tells a beautiful love story but is educational. It shows the process by which blood is transfused from a healthy person to an ailing one. All this is worked in as part of the love story. The whole plot is intensely absorbing, the acting is pluperfect, the photography clear and distinct, the staging masterly! Every film like this, used in your theatre, adds just that much to your prestige and your box office receipts; and takes away just that much from your competitor. Beg for it. Borrow it. Or, if necessary, swipe it!

HARD CASH 9 f

(Released Thursday, March 31st. Length 970 feet.)

This is another you will appreciate. It depicts one chapter from the world¬ wide struggle for hard cash, and is full of suspense and surprises, the two factors so necessary in a good play, whether pictured or otherwise. If you have not had “Mother Love” (released March 7) and “The Time-Lock Safe” (released M^rch 17) sit down this minute and write a strong letter to your exchange. Keep ding-donging at ’em till they give you Imp films regularly. We honestly think Imp films are now the best in the world. And hundreds of exhibitors say that very same thing.

LISTEN TO THE CINCINNATI FILM EXCHANGE: ’*Wo think tivit the IMP Company are tlie best .American Manufacturers in the

business today. We think you are llu* eominj' people, and will make them all straighten up and take notice. .\ssurinD vou of our eo operation and with best wishes, we remain.

There was no contract, but the Judge held :hat inasmuch aa the play bad been retained | for two years and that It was shown that a ver- I bal promls had passed, the 4,00u francs should be paid.

vaudevilij:.

Fregoll la making the biggest sort of a hit at the Olympia. He'i a ventriloquist. He haa a iiuique art and aa the papers here aay of him "He is an entire theatre all by himself." Tbit

i is scarcely an exaggeration, for he plays a piece ' in which forty characters take part—be, of

course, voicing for the entire cast. He it a I quick change artist as well and all in all la . quite wonderful, and a big card.

♦ J The Clnjue tie Rarls. w here vaudeville acta and i

circus stunts are the bill, is 0|>xn again. It was cloa«'d down for aomx weeks on account of the electric lights being put out of commission by the flood.

Mnix. Miuricia dx Thiers, a music hall artist, has a brand new sensation for vaudeville. She it

enclosed in a huge wieker hall and this Is hoist ed to the t>>p of a long runway. From the top

"f this she rolls downward like a streak and up a shorter run. from the end of which the ball

leaiis a 4o foot gap. On the other end Is a l-edcstal with a cup sha|H-d top and Into this Ihe bill lands. The daring eprfornier then steps out. Tlie first iierformance of this act took placx at Rxllxviilx, a quarter of Rarls, thW

week.and as soon as perfect*-,! will be seen on ,'ne of the local stages—i>rol>ably Ihe Olympia.

ROLLER RINKS.

Rrofess<'r J. Genlll Is still an attraction at the llliqsHlrome Skating Kink here. Thx Rraxll- ' Ian champion Is quite a sensation. '

Is a real sinsalhMi. This ns*', as may he s*-*'n, gives Its ellenla |

a ge me r*>nllnnout p*:formaDcx. Indeed, oax '

I _

may have two amusements at once, skating and vaudeville.

*!• Allie Mowe is the first professional attraction

at the newest rink here. The well known cham¬ pion la In the best form and constantly changes bis act, at the Rue d'Amsterdam place. This house Is beautifully decorated, has a cafe done up In the best kind of style and a stringed or rhestra ther«?—Maxim's—which wfmld be hard to heat anywhere. This bouse is run hy the Rarag ford Company (the English vaudeville men) and i the Rarkinson Rroihers. The roof is a specially designed one, made to slide open during warm weatner, and It is planned to run this rink all summer, moonlight soirees and Japanese Nights to be featured.

Miss Daisy Davis Is now at the Hippodrome Kink, after a twe-weeks' engagement at the St. Didier place. .She Is prettily C(>stum*-d in black velvet trimmed with white fur, and she finished her act doing a cake walk with the spotlight. She Is a big bit.

4* At the Skating Palace, Rue d’Amsterdam, the

Little Yorks, one of the cleverest little feminine couples In the business, are doing some clever skating. This bouse has decided to charge but one franc ('20 cents) for those owning their own skates. Other rinks charge the same price (two franca), whether one owns or does not own bis skates.

♦ For thx Mid-Lent (Ml-Careme) festivities at

the Bulier Veuveau, there will be prize skating events. In the aftern<j<)n there will be a Grande Fete de Confetti, with special prizes for rlnkers under the age of 12. A Grand Bal Masque will bx givxn In the evening, yvbcn there will be a lirawing, with live animals as the prizes. This Is to provide the laughs.

4* Young and Bennett, the American skaters, i

are billed this week at the Salnt-Didier Kink. , They do a mighty clever act and are experts on ; the little rolers. ;

♦ MUSICAL.

Miss Constance Drever, the charming actress from the English side of the water, who has bad the title role In La Veuve Joyeuse (The Merry Widow) at the Apollo for so long, has been compelled to withdraw fmm the cast Just at the time the closing date for the show la posted. In spite of her wish to finish out the run, her ' health gave way completely, and she had to give up the game struggle. Mile. Susy Del Sart. a French girl, takes up the role of Missia and will finish out the date.

♦ A lot of betting has been going on here regard¬

ing the reptile used hy Mile. Rethore In the revue at the Moulin Rouge. The one declares It Is a fake, others say it is real. ‘As a matter of fact, the snake Is declar*Ml to be a real boa from South America. Mile. Rethore uses it in a snake-charming scene, supposedly In the Gardens of Babylon.

♦ Don Qulnchotte (Don Quixote), the new Mas¬

senet opera, has been given at Monte Carlo. Naturally It was sn event in the musicsl world, and therefore next week I shall give a little , more apace to It. |

♦ I The Metropolitan Opera Company will play an ;

engagement at the (^batelet Theatre this Ma.v and June. This theatre, of course. Is ordinarily devoted to revues, spectacles and melodrama.

THE NAME DENTZEL SINCE 1837

On a Carrousell stands for quality and perfect work¬ manship, with the assur¬ ance of a house that is wil¬ ling to back up all that it claims.

Are the most popular money-making amusements V^dll UlloCllo on the market to-day. Other rides come and go-

some last longer than others—but the DENTZEL CARROUSELL came *0 stay and it is still here. The first DENTZEL CARROUSELL was built in 1837. The third gen¬ eration of DENTZEL is now making these machines, and just so long as there are parks and amusement resorts yo’i will find the name DENTZEL on a Carrousell.

OMAHA’S THEATRICAL GROWTH.

(Continued from page 4.)

^ emporium a bolt of muslin, which assumed Itself into grand castli's or. perchance, a kitchen In¬ terior oc a lonely road.

It waa at least ten years after the birth of Oamha’a theatrical life, christened by the fa- motis John Templeton Company, that we find records of the first theatre. The Academy of Music, oc, as the sages of the press and of the city’s future Insisted then that It be calleil. “a temple of the knights of the buskin.” was erected and opened with noteworthy ceremonies by the owners. Col. J. G. Clopper, a name of mneb fame in the Middle West, and who mar¬ ried a sister of Julia Bean Hayes.

TTis Academy of Music opened under the man¬ agement of Henri Cocri. an English actor, who

j himself headed what was at that time called, with pride, the finest stock company In the West, bnt there were not many stock companies

I In the West. After a gooil try-ont with stock, i the .Ycademy was turned Into a variety house, j which seem^ to suit the surroundings and the

(leivple much better. The Joke of the earl.v theatrical day# waa the

opening of the old RedIck Theatre by Mary A. Livermore. This estimable lecturer and thesplan «'as hours late getting to the city, and the audience was very Impatient as to the delay. Finally she came, but the lights refused to

j work, and the house. In nearly absolute darkness, j (leeri'd through the stygian gloom and caiigh* ' occasional glimpses of a figure filttlng ats'iit ei the stage and uttering tragic tones. They kni-w It was Mary. They knew she was to be there thit night. But that was aa far as their pns Itive assurance went. Ever after that mem¬ orable night the .j RedIck was a frost in ever}' sense of the word, and merely served as a fine- looking building to give “tone” to the surround Ings for the real estate men. From the frost

j Iness of the night Mary Livermore came, to the Jahs and upisT-cuta demonstrated by famous Jem Mace, the historic old pug of the English prlxe fight ring, was a rather far cry, bnt again

it seemed to milt the aumiuDdlnga tod the (H-ople better. Jem, at least, bad ”Btniiis|ibere.” and that’s what the uld-tiuiera wanted In their theatre.

Next, in Bei(ueiii*e, waa erectisl the I’utler Theatre, and it otienisl grandly with a (x-rform ance of The Lady of L.vona, with Waller Bray aa leading man. Walter, on the very first night. abiM'ked the audienre and threw a chill into the warmth the entbnslaats were about read.v to band him, by Jumidiig tragically be fore tba footlights and wltii a acowliug fare I produced liy the chill of the wlngsi anuisiuced there would lie no umaic. "I might add.” said Walter, "that It ia fortunate that we are (daying a piece which needs no rauale.” Whlrh laaertion left the audience believing that were music a re<(uiaite, Walter's ability would lie nil.

It was far friHu occaalonal for the audience. a«-ated In absolute alienee, drinking in the d<-<'|> tragidy of Hamlet or the froth of cotnedy. to gel a real thrill in the sudden shriek of a drunk¬ en relakin out on the atnvta, who imagined be waa in the Utopian Jungles of the ilaiqiy Hunt ing Grounds. A (M-rformance without disturb ance from the streets waa an e[MK-b maker.

On the boards of tbe old i’otter aiqivared the best actors of tbe day, aiuoug whom were tbe gifted O. N. (Viuldock, Mrs. Selden Irwin, and Harry Rainforth, tbe latter a(i|K'arlug as leading man for .Mrs. Irwin.

Omaha next felt Its oata. Its theatrical oats, and startiHl the proji-ct of building a g4o.<sa» theatre. James E. Boyd sutiscribed IJO.OuO provided the remainder was raised. It waa raiaeit, and Omaha’s first Boyd Theatre oijened with, strange coincidence John Temideton and his C'omiiany. after an absence of over twenty- five years. It was good to have old Templeton op<-n tbe first real theatre because be waa tbe hardy plonev-r who |K-netrate«l the wastes of the prairies and rlsketl the savagery of the red akin to give Omaha, tbe trading (>08t, the first taste of theatricals. The quarter of a

' century of years which bad elapsed bad been kind to Templeton, as be had boarded up quite a bunch of the coin of tbe realm and was aobrl-

• queteil as "Iiticky John.’’ With Templeton appeare<l Fay Templeton in the roles of Bet-

; tins. Countess of I’anada, and a soldier In , Prince Frederick’s army.

I And right berv> we wish to add that that (leat of the theatre, the ticket atHTulator, so far

I bark aa this in our history, got in on the ground floor and reaped a rich harvest.

I In 1KI1, W. J. Burgess, now a member of tbe . Woodward and Burgess Amusement Company, { having a atrlng of theatres over tbe Middle i Weat, and soon to take over the management of tbe New Brandeis, ap(>eared on tbe theatrical

! scene and baa been a fixture ever since, but for I a short rest of a few years, two or three years , sgd- I A long list of notables appeared at tbe old I Boyd, among them tbe famous Clara Louise Kellogg, Mme. Nilson, Emma Abbott, Lawrence

I Barrett and the Haverly Minstrels. Tbe ExiKWitlon Building was the scene of

many great people of fame In ail lines of en¬ deavor. from thespiana to revlvallats and down to pugilists and freaks.

The Eden Muaee, otH'ni-d in I8i)I by A. M. Palmer’s Famous .Ylabama Company, brought many famous stars to the city. ’The famous John Billon was once billed to apiiear, and while the packed house, tbe society of the eastern part of the state, waa waiting for the curtain. John waa no where to be found. Tbe eccentric Billon waa at last located In tbe red light district surrounded by an admiring throng of revelers who were cheering hit Tsudevllle stunts to tbe echo. The aearcblng committee eagerly and anxiously told John that a $2.0(10 bouse waa waiting to do him honor, a bouse that waa tbe cream of the state’s auclety, but John remained with bis new-fouud friends and the $2,000 biMiss waa sent home.

A story Is told of bow, when John Stevens appeared at a theatre here in B<71, he was greeted by an audience of one solitary man. Stevens was «-qual to the occasion. He liowed to the audience jnd said, pleasantly, thiaigb regretfully: ”(»n account of the illneas of the leading lady, tbe play can not be given to night. I take pleasure In doing what no other actor has been able to do in the stage hiator}- of the country. The audience Is Invited out to take a drink with tbe leading man.” Tbe audience rose and tbe two, actor and audience, bad quite a time, so it is pleasantly recalled.

Isaac Walton Miner, long associated with tbs Krug Park, recalls some whimsicalities per formed by tbe celebrities of tbs old days. Ed win Aiden. while playing here long ago, one day went to Fort Omaha, on the outskirts of the city, and got acqiialntml with the offleers He Invited the whole Crowd down to see the show that night. They came In a boily, sixty strong, and orcii|>le<l the tx-at Beats, all oo a single pans from Fxlwln.

I’atti-e. once owner of the Patter ’Tbeatrs. raffiad off tbe house one evening, but won It liai k Jack Morrow and Pattee were quits cbunimy. Morrow was known all around hers as the "Iron Man of the I’lalna.”

From John Templeton’s UiHUiiany in • reix-rtolre In the eirly fin's to .\rseue Lu|iin, o|x-ueii March 3. Is alto a far cry.

SIXTEEN HUNDRED

A GAME more diverting than Five Hundred; more ab¬ sorbing than Bridge, yet less complex than Skat.

WHAT IT IS: The game of “Sixteen Ilundre,!” may [•eat

be. deacrlb»-d as an elaboration of F'lve Hundred, which In turn Is a combination of Knclire and Bridge. But Sixteen Hundred is more, much more, than a mere hodge-iMslge. A (xxiple of rubbers will convince the most skeptical that

j It ja)ss>'ss<‘s a whole world of indiviiliiality— . an individuality, mori'over. which Is peculiarly

Ita own. It 1* the “low" scheiliile that does it. At

first glance, this would appear to In* merily an added or supplementary feature. .As a matter of fact, it complicates the play to an extent almost unbelievable. It literally ahouuda In snares and pitfalls for the unwary, and •■onae- quently provokes no end of mirth ajid hilarity.

It appeal* strongly to the skillful player alao. for Ita iKVssIhllltles In the way of subtle strat-

I egles and clev«*r conps are well nigh counties*. I Send for pamphlet, contains Rule*. Glossary i of Explanatory Terms, Phrases, and Schednie. ♦ Price, 10 cent*.
