Association in Its field. There are numerous evils to be rooted out of tho carnival busines.s; there are barren tracts of possibilities to be nurtured and encouraged to growth.

It is never too late to effect good. While the Carnival Association might have stemmed the tide of carnival decline a few years ago, we will not wast-y effort In deprecating the fact that at that time its inception was impossible, though The Billboard advocated it strongly and indicated various reasons for its logical institution. Now that we have the Carnival Association, let us hope that it will make the best of its opportunities. Its membership numbeis many of the leading carnival men in the country and if their Interests are general, rather than self-centered, if their purposes are to the extreme for such an organization, altruistic rather than selfish, we may anticipate that It will accomplish a great deal In the way of improvement of conditions.

MOTTOX PICTURK KXIIIBITOUS’ COXVKXTIOX,

The number of members in attendance and the enthusiasm they mani¬ fested at the convention of the Motion Picture Exhibitors’ League of Ohio at Dayton last week indicates that fnis Infant among organizations is as.suming the proportions of a very healthy specimen. Of cour.se. the League is still in an embryonic state; the results it purposes to accomplish are rather vague than defined, but their outlines will become sharpened with the progress of time and they will gradually assume the substantiality that will make them amenable to the efforts at their eradication by the League.

The most remarkable thing about this convention was its exhibit show¬ ing its own growth in member.ship and the increase of its members in the interest pertaining to its principles and the purposes of its organization. Al¬ together. it may be said that the meeting in Dayton was an extremely suc¬ cessful one.

FII.M MEX IX CHICAGO.

A number of those who attended the Convention in Dayton assembled later in Chicago for the purpose of discussing the plans for the organization of an association of exchange men, this being the only part-of the motion picture business left unorganized since the manufacturers are represented in the Motion Picture Patents Company, The Motion Picture Sales and Dis¬ tributing Company and the new Mutual Association of manufacturers. This meeting was one of prognostication rather than performance. It holds out the prospect of an early organization of film exchange men for the conservatlo.n of their general interests and protection of their principles.

WTIEX THE SAP CREEPS CP.

With the coming of April showers and April sunshine the sap of Interest in the showman awakens to sentient desire in his cranium. However se¬ curely he may have become ensconced in some other line of business the call of the amu.sement instinct Is irresistible and he begins to cast about for a connection. This season always seems to be more alluring than any season that has gone before.

That is why each season is an era in the amusement busines.s. Every man- jack gives his entire Interest to his profession. The laggard is not recognized.

There Is no profession or business under the sun at once so exacting and so full of its own reward.

EDITOR OF MOVIXG PICTI RE I'.XPER KILI.ED.

James Petrie Chalmers, editor of The Moving Picture World and a man of high standards of ability and conscientiousness, was killed by falling eighteen feet down an elevator shaft while inspecting the plant of the National Cash Register Company at Dayton, O., March 26, with a party of delegates attending the convention of the Motion Picture Exhibitors’ League of Ohio.

Mr. Chalmers was a man of charming personality and his friends were legion. His death removes an energetic worker for the best Interests of tho motion picture industry.

THE CAHXIV.VL ASSOCI.XTIOX.

While the Showmen’s Association is disbanding and its members, who constitute the representative circus proprietors of the country, are receiving each his percentage of the amount left in the treasury, the Carnival Associa¬ tion is taking on mature estate. In contrast to the initial purpose of the Showmen’s Association, the Carnival Association has no paramount Issue upon which to center its Intere-sts and test its strength. There Is no doubt, how¬ ever, that If the avowed principles of the Carnival Association are adhered to and maintained, it will be no less a power for the good of its members, for the amelioration of the carnival business in general, than was the Showmen's

Chicago, March 27 (Special to The Blllhoardl. —The Never Humes opened at the Garrick The atre Sunday, aueceediug the wordless play, Sa- murun. Had it been Intentional, a more do- clded contrast could not have been offered. But SumnruD, with Ita tragic story, austere sett¬ ings and delightful pantomime, failed, at leaat from a box-otUce stamlpolot. while The Never Homes, with Its broad burlesque, elaborate Lew Fields aettiugs aud general nolslneas, btda fair to All tile theatre during Ha entire stay.

Glen MeU'-nougb bas supplied the words, A. Baldwin Sloane the music and E. Ray Uoeta the lyrics for what is called a musical play, or rather a musical burlesque on the aiiffragctt* movement, wbieb affords George W. Monroe ca- tensive opportunities us a dainty little aon brette.

There la no plot to the piece; a plot would b* ■uiierfluous in any play that contains a seen* showing the fire ladies powdering the boraet' noses and making candy in the engine. Jual Imagine that, and with Monroe as Patricia Flynn, a fireman, or rather flrewoman. There Ig also a court ro<>m scene, with the fair Patrl cla aa the judge and a feminine Jury.

Interspersed are some tuneful melodies and clever dancing.

The show Is mostly Monroe, but gome clever work Is done by Jest Dandy, whose German dialect I* done up In a policeman’* uniform.

! Denman Maley is a clever comedian, but unfor- 1 tiinalely had but little to do. Al. Leech's char- j acterlzatlon wag a trifle too broad, and not to ! the liking of many of the audience. Beonla I Cliffonl's dancing and the singing of Lillian I Herlein pleaseil extremely, and both were ra- peatedly encored. .Miss Vera Finlay. Mist Naa Brennan.

Tbe first act waa concluded with a pidow fight with Rowland against tbe other nembtra of tbe company and tnirnniasfun came with eTcrytiody satisfied.

Tbe KItamura Troupe of ten Japs was the at- iractlen offered In tbe olio and they furnished wMre entertainment with tbe one art than Is generally found In a half dosen.

Opening the alww were the Petit Slaters, a reguiatiou small-time SiSter act but staged mncli better than some st-eu on the b gger time. Open Ing In white outing suits wl b canoe paddles In their bands, they make a pleasing picture Four songs are used, a clisnge of costume being made for each one.

Wilson Franklin and Company, seen often on the bigger time. In his sketch.

For tnnately because if she roiild sing she would Dot have to play the smaller time. A person¬ ality that simiily radiates magnetism over the footlights and flaming hair of auburn sba^ make tbe audience expect a lot from tuts little girl One change uf costume is made by Miss Love and none b.r McCo.v, who be:weeD songs do<s imitations and the like at the piano.

Marlon Shirley, with a comiiany of four girls and four lieautiful coll es, have a singing and dancing act. Miss Shirley Is possessed of neither magnetism nor ability and tbe girls are not any oo good. The act la not psrtlculsrlly well staged nor dressed, but the work of tbe dogs and tbe rhorua make up for other defects and as the prettiest number, tbe liogs skipping tbe rope with the elrls. was placed last, they rioelved enough applause to warrant them Is thinking that they were approciated tbrougboni the entire act.

Tc keep the memory of Jean Rap:late Po- • quellD (better km-wn aa Moliere) green, the theatre which be founded, the Comedle-Fran- alae, this week atagtxl a new play In wh'ch he

la the hero. It Is called L* Menage de Moliere (Mollere’s Household) and la by Maurice Don- nty.

Taken aa a play the piece carries with It many disappointmen-a. The life of any man la a large order when It comes to portray'ng It on the stage. Yet that. In a way. Is what M. Don¬ nay seta out to do, the resul: being a play rather broken, or episodic, though be conflnea himself, aa the title suggests, to the great ' autbor-ac;or manager’s married life. j

The theme of the play la the unhappiness of Mollere’s existence with his wife. Armande ; Bejart. hla having to work under the moat try¬ ing clrcumstarcea. As most of ua know, the j grea: writer of comedies, high and low, dlgnl- fled and farcical, led something of a dog’s life with the woman he bad < hoaen for wife, she being openly indifferent and equally as openly attached to other men about her, the coxcomb Baron, for example an actor in MoIIere’a com¬ pany. It la true Armande married Moliere, not because the loved him, but In order to play the principal rolea In hla comedies.

The character of Madeleine, Armande’s sister, la introduced In the play and she shows up In sharp contrast to the latter. From the first- even before the marriage of Moliere with .Vr- mande—she shows herself as very sym[iathetlc in the presence of the future husband of her ' slater, and she remained hla sympatbetl j friend to the last. And In thla respect one is reminded of the cbarac er of Charles Dickens, the great Englishman whose memory was so recently celetk-ated. He t«K>. was unhappy w'th the wife «f his choosing, she never fii ;> understanding him, while her sister cnnire- hended bis every mecMl. Madeleine—In il <• ikinnay play, at the Comedle—dies In the Iss

^ act and before drawing her last hreath. ealla her alster Armande to her and tells her to f.»r- get Baron and spend the remainder of her days encouraging, helping and being a tsmipaiiion to the great wr'ter who was her l.usi.an.l. Moliere and hla wife had he>on separated five years at thla time, but a re onclliatlon la -f fected. Tills brings the play to a lose, hut the audience knows Its M<dlere well enough o be saddened by the the ught that he ltv<< hut one short year longer; that when the recon¬ ciliation comes 't Is <k) late to effect, t > any great extent, the man’s life.

These are the things which Ihmnay has put on tl’e stage. 11" has Moliere talking a great deal to himself, brooding; and ’hen too. there U a similarity In the scenes which teats the attention. The first act Is the heat. Jn the second ac. we find Madele'ne and other members of MoIIere’a company of players, at Versailles, and t.hcre. In the (rrounda of the Chateau, she and the others dance the gavotte In a very I charming manner. Am a diversion the dan e comes In nicely, add'ng sauce :o what might otherwise be a<imewhat dry fare, though for many and obvious reasons. Le Menage de Moliere Is. to the serloua-mlnded playgoer, a very In¬ teresting study.

-M. Grand plays Moliere, a role for which he seems particularly well adapted, artls Ically and physically. Mmes. Cerny and Ijeconfe. as Madeleine and Armande. the slaters, are de¬ lightful. Paul Mouney appears for a few- min¬ utes as Corneille. Mile. Roblnne. Mile. Faber. Mile, Dehelly and others. In minor parts, are. of course excellent.

THREE FARCES.

The &>medle-Royale this week put on a new bill composed of three new farces. The ope»- Ing one la Le Jeu du Sacrifice (The Sacrlflc* Game) by J. J. Renaud, and la quite oiever. The second la a scream by Tristan Bernard, one of the funniest men In France. It la called. Lea VIsiteura Noc.ourne (The Night Vlaltora). Two burglars call on a young widow at aer country home, all the servants being absent. Seeing the widow, they pose aa wine aaleamen and force her to drink some of Ihe'r choice “wine.” Of conrae It la heavily doped and abe drops off to sleep. Searching the bouse the robbera And nothing at all worth taking away with them. Very much crestfallen—they bad splurged a little In advance, <canting on a big haul—they take their leave. The next morning, when the aervanta are reinmed and the widow la awake, she asks for the robbers. She says thla Is the first real nittht’s sleep she has bad alnce tier husband died, and If the night visitors cm be found she will pay them a big price for the secret of the dope of ‘be night before.

The third piece la by Sacha Guitry, ao« of Luclen Guitry. lie Is not only the author of the p'ece. hut Ita principal actor. He creates the principal role In all hla comedies and farces. Thla one la ailed Jean III, and is the story of a young bourgeois who has ambitions to go on the stage. There la little plot and there needs he none, for the dlalotrue la interesting enongb to carry the thing through. The first act shows the early aarroundings of the young man: tb« eecond the scenes he took part In behind the fo..flights. In the wings.

.Mme. Charhdte Lyses. (Guitry Jr.’a wife) Ceolle Caron, I.lnda Celll. Gnl’ry. Baron, Ar quilllere and Resse lnterpr?ted their roles well.

A new opera has been tried on the dog at .Nice. It will doubtlessly be mak'ng Its ap¬ pearance In Paris a<sin. The composer, M. I.,arinanjat. Is a young man and thla la hi- first iin)s-rtant work.

A travelling theatrical troupe at- ps at the town and one of the strolling play ers, Leonard, lakes a passing fancy to the (riri and makes love to her. She, already saddened by the prospects of her approaching marriage to Ludovic, an honest village rustic, and the sol¬ emn existence she la destined to lead In the same little burg, listens to Ixsinard’a stories of life on the road and they fascinate her. Purposely he fires her Imagina .Ion, and she decides to accept hla proposal. She will follow him away. Leonard deserts the g'rl. however, and she drowna herself In the river

FEMINA’S PREMIERII. |

Maurice Vaucaire and F. de Ctoldelya are I the collaborators xeap^>nslbIe for the Le Coup ] d’Etat, a three-act comedy which had its premiere at the Theatre Fcmlna this week. The story deals with an attempt to place on the throne of France a pretender of rather mysierl- oiis origin.

j In the opening scene, Servlgnac. Prea'dent of j the Cabinet: Brevannes. hla secretary, and Gen¬

eral V.xrlgny, Minister of War. are at Brian, and the (Mnsplrators. headed by the Dnc d’Orce-

' ment. a foolish young man, and the elderly ■ Marquise de Corbreuae. decide to kidnap Servig- I nac, Brevann.-a and the General. In order to

give Charles XI ‘he pretender, an opportunity of making his triumphal entry Into Paris on the following morning. The young Dncheaaa

I d’Orcement and her equally fascinating friend. 1 the Baponne de Salnt-I,eger, are requested to I assist the conspirators, and they Joyfully <on-

sent to do »o. The pretty Dncheaae asks Servlgnac to send

the evening at her v'lla and aa she la secretly In love with the handsome Prime Mlnla’er, the task given her to perform Is not a dlsagreeahle one. that of detaining the statesman until tbs pretender can make hla coup d’etat. The B.xr- onne 1« slniiarly pleased to have anch a task to perf-rm. with Brevannes as her prisoner, f.rr she baa had a Faison with him for some weeks already. T^e General remains, but he In turns falls before the cleverness of the Mar- qniae de Corbreuae, who. to Mm. Is quite the most fascina Ing woman he haa over seen. She plays her part well and Ihe royalists’ canac seems won.

At the last moment, however, the pretender proves a scuindTcl of an adventurer end 'uns off with all the funds which have been placed at his disposal. The RepnMle still s aids In aolte of the nicely U'd and leverly executed plot.

ALL-WOMAN CAST.

I have already described the Esther produced at the Odeon. by Director Antoine. Tliis week Sarah Bernhardt produced the ’’other’’ Esther, the Racine tragedy, or rather she revived it at her plaviiouse. As on the occasion of the first performance of the piece In IfiSii, before the young Indies of St. Cyr the characters were all Interpreted by glrla and women. Mme. Bernhardt played the role of Assneriis the King of Persia, .and Mme. Yorska was fS’her. Jane Mea appeared aa the ^ew, Mard.^hee. (Modecal) and Jeanne Dorys aa Aman The piece was given only at a matinee.

One of the features of the revival was the Incidental mnslc by Renaldo Hahn. He cou- dneted the orchestra of 60 pieces hlmaelf Th* ple> e will he repeated one more time.

The day after the announcement was made that the South Pole had been dlacovered, a boulevard motion picture house ran tbe follow Ing ad; “The management of the Blank The¬ atre. always tbe first lo present the puhll the pictures of the big events of the w-orld is they happen day by day. la happy to annonnee that the pictures, made by our special operat- r with thla expedition, will be on v'ew tomorrow, at thla theatre.” That’s going some! From the Sonth Pole to Paris In two days! Beats Amerl can enterprise all hollow.

The Cinema de Paris, an Amerlean owned and operated motion picture theat-e. this week offers Mme. Bernhardt In Camille. The film )« ex’raordlnary In every way. and one finds one’s self lonstantly straining one’s ears to hear the great ac res* speak. T^e pictures are realiatle In the extreme.

The Count of Luxembourg operetta will be glren this week at the .Apollo for the first lira*. Frans Lehar will conduct the orchestra aa he has already snperin ended the monnflng of the piece.

The Okahe E.smlly. Owen C’arke and othet* well known f* .American and Engllah andleneea, are on the Alhambra’s hill h'a wt-ek.

roller akatlng In Europe, and all the continent, espsclally In Bans, 1 wish to say that the skating business here la equal to the Orst year business. This la our third year In I'aria and hualnesa. Including the door money, the lessons and the price of skates, has nut varied a $10*1 par week in the above time.

Regarding other parts of France, Belgium, Swllserland, Russia. Ruumanla, Servla and a few other places, business has been very good with them. Eugland and l.ermany have seen their best days; the trouble was with Englaod, every one went into the rink business, they built 12 up to 30 rinks In one city, and the admission was 6 leu.s or 12 cents, snd shout the same price fur skates. No wonder they could not pay: as fur Germany, in the old days, there has never be<;.n any rink that ever ?ald. as I told Colun> 1 Winslow and C. 1*. Craw

ord when they went there, that they would well make a failure as Germans are no; sportsmen,

at therefuee there could n t he any rink that could the paj In that country, aud which are paying now.

la Vienna, llungaria and Servia, they are doing a fair business.

Now regarding I’aria: There are six rinks besides the American Skating Rink, Saint Dl dier, which la the rink I am managing, all thosp rinka must do fair business, otherwise they could nut run; but ti>e skating rink. St. Dldler, la the biggest paying rink, and 1 can assure you that It la the only one of Its kind; turtber- mure I will ghe you a few details regarding it.s coat and the way it Is run: In the drst place the building was built by Colonel Samuel K. M'inslow of the Samuel Winslow Skate .Manu facturing Co., and its total cost was $175.ouu, the building la made of Iren, stone and cement Throughout It la 326 feet long by 350 feet wide, and the highest part of the building is 75 feet; It has no balcony, but a rise, which la what we call the "cafe department" the door or skating surface la 3tH) f -et long by 150 feet wide, Iwlng 45.000 aqua e feet. Promenades 20 feet wide surruund the door. There are two skate rooms, one for ladles, one for gents, two nice lava torlea. ooi- for lailles. one for gents; there are two seta of skate boys, one at each akate-room.

A CARICATURE OF A FACE (Comidy^e lease April 8; length, 050 feet).—Mr. -Psttle marries h!s sei retary, but stipulates no mother- in-law In the house. After the honeymoon mother and daughter get together and concoct a plot. A doten highly amusing and ridicnlona caricatures of the lady are secured. In a weak moment Mr. Fattie consents to permit the por¬ trait of hla wife’s mother to be admitted. Then he beheld a face—and snch a face! He shied eggs at It, punched It and kicked It, but like Banqno’s ghoat. It would not be downed. Later on he met the original, but the original waa nothing like "that face" so he did not recognise her. Later on the original insisted upon com¬ ing to the house, but this be d'dn’t want, be¬ cause be bad met her aa a sweet thing and did no: want hla wife to get onto his flirtatious conduct. But she insisted, and he had to make the best of It—and Introduce the sweet thing as his slater. Then the w'fe slipped forward and said. “This Is my mother," and Mr. Tattle collapsed. On the same reel Is The Blue Mountain Bnlfaloes.

THE BLUE MOUNTAIN BUFFAIXIES (Top- Icali.—Showing the buffalo herd on the Blue Mountain Forest Beserratton, giving a most InteresMng pictnre of the remnant of what waa once the pride of this continent, the mighty ffionarchs of the plains. The herd has been pbotocraphed close np In their New Hampshire winter quarters.

SALVATION SUE (Drama: release April 10; length. »50 feet).—Jimmy Morgan, sou of a wealthy father, gets drunk and Is kicked out by bis father. In a barroom he prote. ta Sue Brown, a Salvation Army lassie, from Insult. Jimmy s'nks lower and becomes a besotted bom. One day he Is helped by Mr. Domer, a charitable old philanthropist. Later Sue as slats Mrs. Domer, who Is run down hy an auto¬ mobile, and becomes her nnrse and friend. Sue and Mr. Domer visit a tough dive on a cbar- ItaMs mission, and during her absence some toughs attack Mr. Domer. Jimmy Is asleep at a table, bnt awakens and attempts to protect Mr. Domer. but Is beaten Into Insenslbtllty.

Mr. Dorner and Sue take Jimmy to the Darner borne. Sue learns hls story and goes to hla fatber to plead for him. At Drat Mr. Morgan la obdurate, but Anally consents. Congratula¬ tions are In wder, when Mr. Dorner no. Ices the young people are oblivious of their presence. The old couple leave the room, but peek In and see the boy and girl In each other's arms, ^^e paraphernalia In evidence In this haunt /vvlce exerted Its fascination on the youth ragd the adult alike, drawing them to their own destruction 1 Into this mad vortex of the human passions came a youth. Be was clever, and lU‘k was with him; then t^ Kid marked him as a victim. We behold the hellish ap¬ paratus secretly prepared, and we see the flendish operations carried out to their horrible conclusion. Black despair overtakes the miser- able youth, and self-destruction la the penalty he pays for bis folly.

Clutched In the hand of the lifeless victim was a photograph. Canfield, bold and callous, loosened the fingers of the dead youth; but hls eyes falling on the picture bulged with horror, ihie face was that of hls mother! The toy. cold and stiff, whose young life waa hlast^ out so cmelly, was hls own brother! Recov- erlrut from the terrlltle realisation that he wsa. indeed, a fratricide, the notorious Can- field registered a solemn oath to forsake hla evil ways and devote hls entire life to the reclamation of the youth of the land he bad corrupted.

Thus The grand finale to this o’ertrue tale. Here we'behold. In the second reel the exposi¬ tion and correct manner of man'pniation of the various devices used hy the gambling profession. This Is a most fascinating part of the subject, morally, educational and instractive. in the sense of telling us and warning ns of the pit- falls and slimy traps of the g'ided dens of rtce which abound around na.

THE DIVORCE CUBE (Drama; release April 3; length. B60 feet).—A young couple who are childless, growing weary of one another, de¬ cide to separate through the medium of the Dlvor e Mill. Through the good offices of a lawyer and doctor, a plan Is set on foot to bring about a happy reconciliation. The un¬ happy wife la induced to adopt a fr'endleas orphan child. This Innocent child creeps Into the hearts of the woman and her husband and a great change comes over them. A new and greater love springs np between them, with the result that God blesses their union and sends them a little cherub of their own—a blessed lie. which binds these hwo Indissolubly to¬ gether. The scene In which the unhappy wife finds a new Joy In the so lety of the little orphan. Is one of the daintiest bits of work ever visualised, both as to scenic effectiveness and deep Interest. But the sweetest and purest of nature's pictur'nga la shown when that same woman receives the glorious crown of mother¬ hood.

...SIGNS... I WE USE THE BEST MATERIALS. |

We design as well as execute signs on muslin, fibre or cardboard i To have a sign pull trade, it must be artistically made.

We guarantee them, and that is the reason. i

Our runninK expeuB.- la about 15.(MM) E'ranra, wbirb is (ti.OOO, so we can see our net protlt is 75 per cent or tbere- abont; thert-fore the (treatest pajloK rink eser known In the "annals” of roller skstinir or Ice.

Ih4> skates uS4>d here are tbe famons Wlnilow skates and tbe price of tbe cheapest skates sold here which is the ordinary rink skates, is 4<> Francs, the next <ine is the nickel-plated, $11, with aluminum rollers; the next price 1* what we call the 75 Francs, $15, which is the 30th Cen ury skate, and the biftbest price of skates which we sell the most of, la the Wins low I'rofeaslonal, 1.50 Francs, $30.

Now rettardinit the price of admission and skates: It la 1 Franc admission. 20 cents, in tbe mornlnK and 1 Franc. 50. :{0 cents, for skates; in tbe afternixm admission Is 1 Franc 60, 30, and 2 Franca for skates. 40 cents; and tbe same at n-itht; checklnc of clothes, 0 cents; then, of course, there la the uanal tip, 6 centa here and 5 cents there. There are no free Instructions. Plain skatlnir is $1 per hour, or 6 Francs; fancy skatinit. 7 Fran<s 50. $1.50 per hour. Instructors are [laid TO per c« nt on all Instruction monies; they mske about an averaite of $75 per week with their tips. There la a few who sare their money, and others lead the life of millionaires, and bare antomobiles to take them to work and back. It costs more for salaries of clerks here than In America; an ordinary ticket taker Is 50 Francs per week. $10; the |tlrl cashiers yet $7 per week; clotblnR women, $6; skate me¬ chanics, $10; typist dolnc both French and FnRilsh. $20; and I miRht mention other hiRli salSVIed people; the head cashier Rets $25 per week, while the mansRer la snppost^ to be the biRhtat paid nianacer In tbe world, that Is In tbe rInkInR line; h||l salary is 50.000 Francs. $10,000 per yiar. wi'b a percentaRe on ail money taken In, which comes up to $16,000 per year or thereabout. Kindly ask Colonel Wins low; be will tell you all about it.

As reRards information, my dear brother mansRers, bow to run a rink, I can not tell yon how to run your own rink, as eyery city and etery country has different systems to entertain their cllentefe and therefore I ran not Rive yon any details rcRardlnR that, aa yon may do one thiuR In Kansas that would not amount to any thInR In Tietrolt, or Paris and I»ndon, and rice ▼ersa, aa the types of people are so Tsstly dif ferent. For Instance, in America yon can hare apple pie. roller Reese, thread needle, and all kinds of hurdle races, while In EnRiand yon can run a masonerade every week and other sncli thlnRS. while In France, you can not run more than one carnival In one year and such as these pie Rstnes. and needle threadlnR, would be rotten eRRS. This Is the way of roller skatlna.

My best reRsrds to my old friends. throuRhont the wo'ld who will read The Billboard. In my next letter I will Rive you more details of onr attractions and about the people who come to tbe American RiatlnR Rink 8t. Dldler.

Should any one of von come to Paris, be *nr* and call on me; I will show yon the Rreatest city In the world for a Ray old time.

constant K<s>d humor and high spirits. His cum edy is clean and of a delightful variety, titougo this is not (be greatest of bis virtues. His ex¬ ecution at the piano la splendid. He rags one moment, then goes into the mure clasaic variety. Tlieir songs are fair with one exception; tliei actually have tbe nerve to pull that antedilu¬ vian 'Tag bag,” I'be Harlier's Itall.—and Ih lieve It or not. it la the one big hit of their act. They responded to an encore and took three or tour well earneil Imws. 'i bis is tbe second time tbe act baa appeared in tlie bouse this season.

Arnold Italy is sup|iorled by Alfred Hickman and (for about 17 secoiidsi by Miss Bertha Mann. Both Mr. Italy aud Mr. Hickman are deligUtfii: In their parts, and Mr, Italy baa been very atingy in bis allotment of time and lines to the feminine part of the act. At tbe very climax of the offering Miss Mann, who plays the part of Mr. Italy's wife, rushes In and sa.Vs alsiut six words. Just aa tbe curtain droiw. Tbe offering tistk Very well. It is reviewed under Che beading of Acts New to Chicago.

Orrie Ite Mar appears next to closing and Is very weak In the early part of her offering and dm-s not strengthen until she reaches her famous Three I'a.vs on tbe Ucean song, wherein she shows tbe Inevitable effect of the rolling bil¬ lows on ihe first ocean voyage. The song as rendered by Miss Ite Mar is a great comedy situation. She carries a drop for each of her anmbers, and also makes some Characteristic costume cliangcs for each. Tbe Matinee Girl is another of ber feature numliers. and brouglit a generous round of applause. Ixinesome Flos- ste, a sort of drinking t"ng. is clever snd comic In some simls. snd overdone and repulsive In others. Miss He Mar might have been a greater soccess.

The bill Is closed by F^lward F. Reynard, the ventrll<»|i(lst with a ppslnction. The act haa been seen here quite often In the last few years, and la voted by all. the very liest of its class In vsndeville. Mr. He.insrd was one of the most aiilistantial hits of tbe bill.

Evidenily It didn't take Mi«s Mann long to learn her part, not half ao long. I'll wager, as It did to make up and dress In a cluiriiiing snd becvuiilug gown and picture bat. Anyway—to get back io tbe story —Jack coiiDW Isiine snd finds the ‘Tare-welT’ note from bis lietter half. At first he la wild with anger and sorrow.

CHICAGO VAUDEVILLE NOTES.

George Hltiea of the*Lyda Theatre, announce, that be will Ceuimence playing vaudeville at tractions again at the opening of tbe seasen in Ihe fall, afti r running plcturea for aev>'r.i. luontjis.

Jimmy Wani, the avia or, has been b ok - l for tbe Cioadlan Industrial Et|voaltlon at Wiii Dppeg. (an., from July Iti to 20. by the fai deiMirtmeiit of tbe Western Vaudeville Manager' Assis lation.

The parents of Walter Seott Reed, formerl.i cornetlst In Ihe orcliestra of the Gaiety Theatre South Chicago, bate sent out an alarm for him as be has been missing fur some time. He wa- last heard of playing a aingle musical act in vauderille. Hls fatber, Frank L. Reed, ia ein ployed In the money order dlvlaion of the Cbi cago Post-office.

HERBERT'S LEAPING DOGS. Novelty Act. MaJ. Stic. Clilcsgo; opening nine-act show, time. 11 minute!. In full stage.

With about 30 canluea of all sons and breeds, •everal cats, a cou|ile of pigeons, and a couple of chickens. Hcrliert's au>uisl act Is undoubtedly one of the most clever si-en at tbe Majestic this Benson. It ia weil staged snd elaborate In every particular, and really dcserveii a more prelen tlrnis spot io tbe bill. Tbe entrance and opening of the act is novel and unique io every partic¬ ular. llie Intrudiictiun of tbe various panici pants cuusuuies aliout five minutes and pleased everyone who witnessed it. Tbe msjiirity of th stunts are new, and the comedy situs i"08 Just frequent enough to relieve the usual inonotuoy of tbit class of offering. Several graceful and clever greyhounds do some excitlug stunts io high Jumps, and tbe smaller canines do all sorts of clever s'unta which were warmly received by tbe big Monday afternoon audience. A fea¬ ture of the act is a "loop-the-loop'' which is executed by a little fox terrier, who do«a the stunt by running. The trick was repeated three tlmea before the •iidience would permit tbe act to proceed. Considering position In the bill, the act proved one of tbe biggest bits of the cur¬ rent week's offering.

THE NAT NAZARRO TROUPE. SensationsI Acrobats; Majestic, Culcago; fifth In nine act show; time, 10 minutes. In fall stag one lady, three gentlemen.

This whirlwind acrobatic offering proved the Kiotit aensational bit on the current offering a the Majestic. No one with any sense of Judg ment will deny tbe right to tbe gigantic sneceas attained by tblg marvelona offering. One of the gentlemen does a rapid succesaion of oomer asnlts, and does them so rapidly that he looks more like a big pin wheel than a hnman being. The applause following bit contribution to tbe act was genera] and a small riot. Never la all my experience In tbe show and circus bntlneaa have I teen tneh an exhibition, nor anch clev •meet. Another feature of the act la tbe phe¬ nomenal work of • yonagater abont four feet

Intensely dramatic and gripping la this little gem of dramatic art as presented by that clever artist, Mr. Hana Robert and a notable company; but the audience at the Wilson aeemed dense and unable to grasp Its Importin- e and the s|ilendlil ib'Ilty of the little company. When Mr. Robert appeared In ■ leading part at tbe Cort Tliettre. supporting Edmund Breese he was the topic of conversation snd admiration of all wlio wi nes'ed the presentation of A Man of Honor. Tile plot embraces a (Killtical graft ipame. wherein a Judge who Is on the square refuses to turn a crooked deal for the money factions but Is handtcapiied and apparently cor¬ nered when he learns that h's son has stolen money from these men. However . by hls shrewdness and lirslny la 'Ics. he outwits the crooks and obtains the hoy’s freeiiom. Mr. Robert l« powerful and forceful in Ills part snd deserves more credit than was given him by the Wilson audience. Tlie siiiiportlng company are

II clever In their parts snd sre responsibie In large part for the success of the act.
