Noted film producer, and one of th* “angles" in Triangle When the Sells-Floto Shows Inaii-
grurate the season of lit 16 early in April the two world's tffPatest ex¬ ponents of athletics, Jess Willard and Frank (Jotch. will l>e two drawing cards that hid fair to draw many thou¬ sands to the white-tops of the organi¬ sation wherever they appear. Wil¬ lard, unless the title should be wrested from him in the interim, will be billed as the world’s champion boxer, and Ootch as the world's great¬ est exponent of the wrestling game.
Twelve hundred dollars a day Is the sum that Colonel Tammen, owner of the Sells-Floto Shows, has contracted to pay thi-ee two mighty giants of the roped and matted arena. I’nder the terms of the contracts, which have Just been signed, Willard furnishes a sparring partner and agrees to play any part In the big show that he may be requested to, and will box from three to six rounds, as the case may be. In the concert.
Ootch is to give a physical culture exhibition In the main show, and an exhibition of wrestling in the concert, agreeing to meet all comers, and to forfeit flOO to any one who can stay with him fifteen minutes, irrespective of who he may ho.
It has been decided that Tom Jones will do the announcing for the big athletic feaiur«*, with Jack Curley go¬ ing on the advance, to arouse special Intere.st In l>ehalf of these two cham¬ pions, and incidentally for the big cir¬ cus combination.
The signing of Willard and (totch for his big tented attraction this sea¬ son Is a c«)»ip d'etat of which Colonel Tammen has every reason to feel proiid. noth of these athletic cham¬ pions, e.xpeclHlIy Willard, have been

But it IS an awakening that ha« provoked and Is still provoking this abandonment by stars of the stage for a position of equal rank in the realm of the photodrama—an awakening to the unparalleled possibilities of the motion picture camera, and a realiza¬ tion that in this Instrument Is repre¬ sented a held greater than ever before for worthy artistic achievement.
The subject of the stage star’s re¬ lation to the screen is one that haa been treated frequently and at great length on numerous prior occasions, but not one in five. I df\re say, of the writers Involved has touched upon

New York. Jan. 2-1.—The bitter tight

allied Interests, supplemented by those j having the best Interests and future of the motion picture Industry at heart, against the proposed Ilughes- Sn>lth bill creating .a Federal board of censor.'<hli>. ai>peara. in the light of present events, to be as nearly a vic¬ tory as could possibly result without an actual vote on the question of whether the proposed measure will be reported out of ct)mn»lttee or allowed to die a natural death. Developments since last Monday have been rapid, and the present status of the fight Is a complete reversal of what It was when The Billboard recorded the sit¬ uation up to and including the first «lay of this week.

This tlgure, in addlton to the additional enoiuioiis sum which will be necessary To maintain the high standard of the Sells-Floto Shows, will re<|ulre exceptional buslne.ss, but the reputation of (’ol«*nel Tammen and his shows Is now so well known

New York, Jan. 19.—After an ab¬ sence of several ye.trs from the New York stiiKe Mrs. Klske returned last night to Broadway at the Gaiety Theater, appearing in a delightful comedy, entitled Erstwhile Susan. The critics on the dailies treated very fa¬ vorably of the new play. The Times commenting ns follows: “Mrs. Fiske returns In a delightful role. She Il¬ lumines an odd little comedy." The Herald concludes Its review thusly: “It is years and years since Mrs. Fiske has had a comedy role which gave her such an opportunity. Her Susan la a sudden and irresistible creature, better than Mrs. Bumpstead-Lelgh." From The World: “Virtuosity again shown in sparkling comedy role; play

Sothern To Retire Just a Woman
New York, Jan. 22.—E. H. Sothern, at the end of the present season, will retire from the stage, and with Mrs. Sothern. professionally known as Ju¬ lia Marlowe, will depart for England to take up a permanent home in War¬ wickshire. Mr. Sothern on several previous occasions e.xpressed a desire to leave the stage, but each time he had been forced to change his plans. Mrs. Sothern, it will be remembered, gave up the stage some time ago ow¬ ing to ill-health, and although she has completely recovered she adheres to her decision not to resume her career as an actress.
Mr. Sothern closes his en¬ gagement in Da¬ vid Garrick at the Booth The¬ ater tonight, and on Monday will leave Boston for an engagement in a repertoire of old plays, later going to I'hiladelphia. .After that lie may come back to the New A'ork stage and ap- { jiear in a revi¬ val of If I AVere King.
“It i.s a little Tiremature to say that I am giiing to give up a c t i n g,” said Mr. Sothern, ‘•because I shall not <|uit till the (•nd of the sea¬ son. I do in¬ tend to retire th>-n, and Mr.-. .S.»thern and I will go to Pvng- land to remain permanently.”

XVHO XVILL LEAD IN THE NEW ERA IN MOVING PICTUREDOM
Pehlnd the retirement of Lewis J. Selznick from the World Film Company one may otmerve the fine Italian hand of William A. Prady. Such an an¬ nouncement has been expected ever since Prady announced his intention to reduce his stage productivity and vastly extend his screen offerings.
In the motion picture field one may never know from expansion whether it retlect.s prosperity or merely extensive operations in Wall street. Also it would be an interesting question Just now to know whether Ladenberg & Thalman, of the big street, are expanding their film interest.-! because of dividends to date or to protect large holdings through influencing Investments by reorganization and increased stock Issues.
The late John Stetson once was a-sked to advance 125,000 in a theatrical enterprise in which he already had invested a similar amount. Stetson had but one eye, l>ut from that one eye he could see more than any showman of his day could with two. Said Stetson to his optimistic associate: "In the show business I always place ‘stop loss’ orders. I am never enthused over what is taken in at the box-ottice. It is only what is left over that impresses me.” "Put,” .«ays the as.sociate, "think of the business we will do next season.” Stetson looked at his associate with that eagle eye of his and remarked, "Pu.-‘iness is good enough right now, still I lost my $25,000. You can have the show, but my ‘stop loss’ order has been reached and that ends my interest."
Oh. ye of fllmdom—fancy the motion picture business procedure being conducted on such lines! Perhaps Mr. Prady is really to be revealed as the long-awaited Moses of modern fllmdom—we shall see.
Put that there is need of some dominating figure to guide the befogged perspective of the warring factions in this aspect changing industry no one can doubt. The writer believes that the day must soon come when some such figure will bring about a system of operation, di.stribution and exhibition in what should be the most lucrative line of endeavor since public entertainment was inaugurated.
XX’ho will be the man to lead as Otto H. Kahn did for grand opera, as Edward F. Alliee did for vaudeville and as Abraham L. Erlanger did for the legitimate theater in times far less propitious than the present? There is Just one man who has Indicated very recently that he might qualify as such a leader. The writer will not name him now save to state that he alone has favored the open door with sincerity. Vaudeville began to be revolutionized when the man who "buys the goods" was master. It looks now as if the producer of motion pictures is planning to control through sheer might of organization. Such a plan will fail unless participated in by every important faction and led by a genius whose identity is nowhere indicated save as an individual part of a whole structure, whereas the new Moses must be a man who can lead all of the big estal»lished interests; lead them, too, as Albee led and developed .Xmerican vaudeville with never a break in the ranks, nor a new vaudeville theater erected that could sustain itself a year in the same realm in competition without becoming an arm of the booking institution started seventeen years ago and which stands today as far as its basic i>rKanization goes precisely as it did tlien. Not oniv has there been a success¬ ful opposition to the U. P. O. Not once has any one of the original showmen, who came together seventeen years ago at Albee’s suggestion, encountered lasting opposition.
if the m<*tion picture structure is not too bulky and massive to lend Itself to some such sane control, a control, by the way, which, unlike motion pictures, seems immune from government litigation, it may be well right now for some of the e.stal>Iished factors in the new field to study well how the genius and persistency of one man created conditions which, if existent in fllmdom, woulil prove revolutionizing.
I.est the writer should appear to be indicating the availability of any one on thus earth as such a leader, he wishes to suggest that such a man. when he is discovered, will probably attain the goal meteorically. It will not be Albee himself; the latter will probably retire from business activity before filmdom’s new Mos«-s is revealed: besides the man needed should start poorly prox’ided witli money and fight now as Albee fought to attain his goal.
One thing is certain, this miicli-needed guardian of the destiny of the stTceii's luisinc.ss side will never be found among the gentlemen who came tardily from tltc stage to produce for the screen; no, even tliose few among them who Itave prospered.
Men like Laemnile, Hodkinsi>n. Freuler and Altken could have qualified liefore their personal interests bet’ame so unwieldy a.-» to render their per- speitive sulijeet to prejudice. Each would have made a splendid leader In another day and with different conditions. Even such men as XX’illiam R. Hearst ami Frank V. Mun.-^ey, both l>oomlng up as large futJire factors, can not qualify because of the lateness of th*‘ir arrival. The capital of newspaper magnates will figure in all these new deals, but the nmn whom all motion puturedom is seeking may not be even a shown»an of any grade or type; he mu-t not persoimllx seek individual con<|uests. XX'e have a score of such men .IS could ha\e qiialitied as rei eiitly as six years ago, but each now has “got his,” heme h.is no incentive to attain renown. Itesldes public spirit would be a requiiite witliout wliich no real leader could qualify in the second decade of the tvveiitietii century. The man who leads must make his millions after he begins to lead, and he must Impre.ss the maze of followers on his trail that he

Khigewood Coninilssloncra Say It la ilarmfiil to Morals of Yonth
New York, Jan. 22.—Once again has the narrow-minded attitude of certain so-called church people made Itself manifest in the amusement field, this time In Ridgewood, N. J., where the V'illage Commissioners, acting upon a recommendation of the Federation of Men’s Clubs of the Ridgewood church- e.s, refused a permit to the manager of a local theater to show vaudeville In connection with his motion picture program. The commissioners, backed by the church interests, contend that vaudeville acts are harmful to the morals of the young. So far as Is known this is the first attempt ever made in this couniry to bar vaude¬ ville in any town, that type of enter¬ tainment long having been conceded to be the most clean and entertaining of any entertainment offered. IS MOUNTFORD ORGANIZING
OR DISORGANIZING? By MA.IOR JAMES D. DOYLE
Vaudeville Barred in Jersey
Will the White Rats never wake up? Is it possible that all the good, smart men, members of the White Rats, do not read that two pages of junk that Mountford writes every week?
Do you read it? Why, I am asked by many, “is Mountford Or¬ ganizing or Disorganizing the White Rats?” Let’s go over the two pages of stuff and see how very bad it really is.
First or Main Article—A Word of Warning, a personal affair about what Harry would like to do to some one who has got his goat, should not have been allowed with the White Rat or organization matter.
Second—He states he has taken In the six-day bicycle riders. Well, flf they joined they were taken in all right. Grasping Harry does not care whose money he spends.
Third—He states, on the side in small square, that the organiza¬ tion has one thousand cards that are paid up and they don’t know where to send them. Can it be possible that there were so many that paid their money and then got ashamed of themselves for joining and ran away and don’t want their cards? Think it over.
Fourth—Another square has. Vacancies for Sixty Deputy Organ¬ izers, and that’s in every week. Can it be possible, with all the lay¬ offs, that no one wants those jobs? There must be pay, as Mountford, Conley and Connors are getting salaries, and if more members don’t come in, why, the organizer and all the deputies will get the gate.
Fifth—A Chat About the Club. Some fool excuses why members should pay an extra five to go into their own building, and then telling the members that none of the organization’s money will be used for club purposes, and then they are going to pay seven thousand five hundred of the organization’s money per year for the olflces and meet¬ ing room in the club building. What else is that but using organiza¬ tion’s money for that club? Do you think they are getting their money’s worth? They will be paying five times too much. The mu¬ sicians only pay one thousand per year for a big room and all priv¬ ileges, and the poor actor done again has to move out and let the di¬ rectors and their pet organizer stay in and have a good time and loll around in the big chairs, and all that at the poor actor’s expense, and the poor boob never opens his mouth. Musicians are paying $1,000 per year. The White Rata are paying for a few rooms $7,600 per year for the officers of the order. As usual the Rats are stung again.
Sixth—On the side Harry states about the different cities and says that they are all open meetings. Open meetings are where everything is lovely and everybody says nice things. They are all together at the open meetings, but when they get the closed meetings that’s the time the murder will commence, so this is what Harry says Is Local Autonomy. Not for mine, down with him. He won’t do. We’d sooner have Dr. Davis, the man with Mountford’s goat.
No Change at Frisco Empress
Mary Garden at the Palace?
New York, Jan. 22.—It is possible that before the end of the season Mary Garden will appear at the Palace Theater. It appears that the amount of salary seems to be the only ob¬ stacle to a contract.
Chicago, Jan. 22.—A story is goingi the rounds that the Empress Theater, San Francisco, has changed its book¬ ings, and according to the Affiliated Booking offices this is nothing more nor less than one sweet dream. Ferd Lincoln, president of the Affiliated Booking Company, recently left Chi¬ cago to inspect the various houses on the Sullivan & Considine Circuit. Dur¬ ing the trip Mr. Lincoln was joined by John Considine. While on the Coast Mr. Lincoln sent a telegram to N. J. Kissick, secretary and treasurer of the Affiliated in Chicago, reading as fol¬ lows:
"Grauman has not bought Portland and has no theater in that city. Sul¬ livan & Considine hold the booking contract with him for San FTanc?8co, BO that paper .story is all bunk.”
The officials at the Chicago head¬ quarters of the Affiliated claim that the chain of houses extending to the Coast is better fortified than ever. From all of which it would appear, as stated above, that some one has been dreaming. At present Lincoln and fJonsidine are looking over new loca¬ tions.

(Uciipwofl Monday Matinee, January 21)
New York, Jan. 24.—It wa.s absolutely necessary for the management to
rearrange the program after the printed slips were handed to the audience,
as some of the arts worked In one and others full stage; the rearrangement
made a better show. McIntyre and Heath, the veteran burnt cork artists,
delivered their minstrel clas-slc. The Georgia Minstrels, and everyone in the
large audience shrieked with laughter at the wonderful comedians. Many who
have witnessed the minstrel act time and time again were oompelled to enjoy
the exceptional delivery, only made possible by a union of close to forty years,
such as McIntyre and Heath have enjoyed. Henri de Vrie.s, Morrisey and
Hackett, Mack and Walker and Joe Cook did extremely well.
No. 1—Current News Pictorial; eleven minutes.
No. 2—Merian’s Canine Actors displayed keen intelligence in presenting
The Territorials Quartered. The dogs are set through their paces and respond
in an almost human manner. Several points of comedy were overlooked and
should be Inserted by the trainer, as it would add greatly to the amusing turn.
Fourteen minutes, three special .scenes; two bows.
No. 3—Florence Hardeman offered classical selections on the violin, but
the young lady will be compelled to acquire better stage presence If she desires
to remain in vaudeville. Her solos were appreciated, but the lack of stage
deportment hindered her somewhat in securing desired results. William
Ueddlck assisted at the piano. Fifteen minutes, in one; one bow.
J No. I—Win >lorrl>«ey and Dolly Hackett made their debut at the J
Palace In one of the niftiest little eoniefly tum.s ttuit has been on view at X
J this hoa.se In some time. MorrLsey Ls an entertainer who places the 4
$ neiNs^sary punch In liLs work and just at the opportune moment. Miss X
^ ifackiTt Is as cute and cunning a.s they make them, with an abundance J
i of |>ers<*nality and pretty fa«’e and tigure. The clever |»alr surely cap- ^
m turcfl their ll-teners and bowed off amidst hearty ajiplause, which they
♦ fully dessTvcHl. FJghteen minutes. In one; five bows. X
%€■<:€<'«!< €(CC:€:CC€<<i€^:<:€!CC€C€:CC<i<.«l€<!C€!CBC€)CBCilCCCCC<^
No. 5—Henri de Vries, assisted by W. Yerance and J. Morton, de Vries j
presented his protean character offering, A Case of Arson, in which he
portrays seven distinct characters in a manner that was truly m>-stifylng. as
each one was a masterpiece in Itself. Twenty-nine minutes, in three; four
curtains.
INTERMISSION
No. 6—Joe Cook started slowly on account of a great part of the audience
returning to their seats, but after a few brief moments secured a laugh a
second with his always-amusing conception of a One-Man Vaudeville Show.
Cook is a humorist of rare caliber and in the very near future will undoubtedly
reach one of the high rungs in the vaudeville ladder of success. Seventeen
minutes, in one. special drop; four hows.
No. 7.—Wilbur Mack and Nella Walker and Company, including Albert
Hockey and Charles Hepter. Mack and Walker’s new act. A Pair of Tickets,
is about the best thing they ever offered. The team could always deliver
material, but in their present turn they have many amusing situations which
are handled aa only tho.se clever stars can handle them. Every line is a laugh
and there are many lines. Twenty-five minutes, in three, special set; four bows.
d) dS d) ^ Fo]
No. 8—James Mclnt3n’e and Tom Heath were revelation. Congratulations are in order, for these dis¬ pensers of joy surely were a riot from start to finish. Just a tip to the young fellow with comedy ideas who anticipates going into vaudeville. He should pay many visits to the Palace this week and study the methods of McIntyre and Heath, as their secret of success is con¬ solidation. As burnt cork comedians we can not recall any who can hold a candle to the veterans of minstrelsy. Otto Johnstone lends capable assistance to the stars. Forty-one minutes, open in one, go to full; five curtaina

No. 9.—The New Producer was up against a tough proposition In closing
the show, as the act demands attention. The singing of the principals and
choni.H was heartily enjoyed by only half a house. Fourteen people are em¬
ployed and each one is capable of the assignment alloted him or her. Under
the handicap they did very well. Twenty-five minutes, open bare stage, go to two; two curtains.
Length of show, three hours, thirty minutes. Rusiness good.—JACK.
Majestic, Chicago (ReTiew»d Mondsy MmtinM, Jxnaaxj 84.)
Cbli^ago, Jan. 24.—The bill epeninf at the Mb-
Jeatlc thia afternoon la fully np to the blfk
standard of excellence aet by that honae. Tbs
audience reai>onded very slowly and did not fully abosr appreciation nntll the fifth act waa oo.
The bouse waa well filled.
No. 1—Plclurea.
No. 2—The ninaical namb«>ra of Alice Don,
Mary Campbell and Jane Shaw la on a little
early, bet the girls nererthetesa made an ex¬
cellent Impreaeion. Their singing and piano playing. Including both popular and opereUc
numbers, won applause. Seventeen minntea, la
two; one curtain.
No. 8—Wlllbuma and Ed Lynn do aome alnff-
Inr, but their real ability la shown In Boft-rt>oe dancing. They acqnltted themaelTc# in greet
shape, getting special hands for several well- exeented specials. Twelve mlnutea. In one; two bows.
No. 4—Erwin and Jane Connelly, seen here
last March In A Strong Cup of Tea, have la
Sweetbearta a pleasing little sketch in which to
display their talents. This ie a two-scene met,
the period between curtains representing a lapoe of fwty years. Twenty minutes. In fonr, special
set; two cnrtalns.
No. 5—Robert Emmet Keane, called The American Englishman, saved the day by atlrrlng
np the first applause of the afternoon with hla cbaracterlzatlona. Keane ranks with the
best In dialect stories, and Is thoroughly versa¬
tile. nis rendition of Kipling's famous poeia recletered a solid bit that called for an encore. Eighteen mlnntes. In one; fonr bows.
No. B—Odlva and her teals dived and frol¬
icked and won mneh credit by their akIU and
grace In the water. A well-staged act and well handled. Twenty-five mlnotse, fnll atago, tank and special set; three bowa.
No. 7—Ray Samnels was the hit of the after¬
noon. Her magnetic personality and confidence
go far toward helping her put over songs. Prac¬
tically every number was a hit. but the mbs
song went over best of all. Fourteen minntsa.
In one; fifteen or twenty bows. No. S—Homer Mason and Marguerite Keelet,
with an unnamed assistant, have In Married o«e of the cleverest little sketches In vaudeville. It
Is bright and snappy, with action and hnmag a-plenty. Both the principals handle their parts
to perfection, and. as a resnlt. the number goes over with a bang. Twenty-seven mlnntes, foil
stage; fonr cnrtalns. No. 9—(Teorge McKay and Ottle Ardlee
proved another bright spot, and their offerlnge
of clever comedy singing and dancing made a
decided hit. They are versatile and their reper¬ toire Includes the best there Is In the laugh-pre-
dneine line. Seventeen mlnntes, open one, go
to full, close In one; five hows. No. KV—The Million Dollar Fashion Bbow
f<-atnrcs gowns said to be worth the afore-inee-
tlone<l million. The feature of the act la the dancing of Emllle I,ea. and this probably ap¬ pealed to both masculine and feminine memhere of the andlence more than the parade of beantl- fnl gowms. It Is a gorgeous number from ae
exhibition standpoint. Forty-one minutes, fell
stage; special scenery.—WALTER.
Chicago Palace (Bevievred Monday Matines, January M.)
Chicago, Jan. 24.—Although the Palace offer¬
ing this week Is np to the standard, for some
reason or other the audience did not seem to be In a receptive mood, and the show dragged along. The seats were nearly all taken.
No. 1—The Two Tom Boys, with a wild
dasbed out before the opening curtain with B come«ly bnmpstl-bnmpatl apecialty. Opee-
monthed, the amllence aat and watched the two
ladles take and give hard knocks, which didn’t seem to fare them, aa they threw each othar
around In rongh and tumble acrobatic style.
Ten mlnntes. In fnll; one bow. No. 2—Mabelle I,ewls and Paul McCarthy tang
and talked In an unassuming manner, and had
no difficulty In Jnst naturally warming np with
the audience as tbongh they were entertaining at a house party. Their song and patter wera
well received. Twenty mlnntee. In two and
one; three bowa. No. 8—John and Winnie Hennings do a little
of everything; they b*>th sing. John did a soft-
shoe step dance that was worthy of the heavy applause that f<>llowe<l. Hla long, slender legs made his every action laughable, and. In every¬
thing about him. including a dozen lond-colored
quick-changeable neckties he found that which

Chicago Palace 4ContlDOe<l from pace 7.)
helped him get a langh. Thej finished with
slide tromlK>ns and oornet, getting four bows.
Fifteen minutes, In two and one.
No. 4—The Inimitable Lnbowska, Impression¬
istic dancer, charmed her audience with style
and poise, conildned with dancing talent of a high order. She opens with the garotte, gro¬
tesques a futuristic Interpretation of those
black and white caricatures so often seen In
Togue, followed by the Ecyptlan Dance of
llourning, and finishing with the peacock Dance,
an original conception of feminine vanity. Two onprogrammed dancers assisted Lubow*ska In
filling In during change of costume, making the
nomls-r a highly pleasing one. Fifteen minutes,
In full; two bows.
No. 5—Marguerite Farrell entertained with
character songs, lacking nothing which could
have made her efforts more appreciated. Her appropriate costume for each number was well
deslgnwl to fit the song, and her sweet voice did
the rest In making the Anna Field ballad and
the hoop-skirt melody two good applause num
bers. Fifteen minutes. In one; three bows.
No. «—Weber and Fields second week In
Chicago, offered Mike and Meyer, their world-
famed characters, a relic of the olden days.
They recelve<l a warm welcome, and got the
nsnal amotint of hearty laughs out of old and
new material. Elgteen minutes. In full; four
bows.
No. 7—Percy Bronson and Winnie Baldwin
held them fast In a classy bit of songology that
was truly a winner. The handsome couple make
a striking appearance, deliver their songs In
great shape and are well rewarded with ap-
planse. Eighteen minutes. In one; two bows,
an encore.
No. 8—Ben Beyer and Company closed the
ahow In a clever cycling novelty. If there Is
anything that can possibly be performed on a
Ucycle they sufweeded In doing It, working fast and doing fantastic, humorous stunts on every
atyle of cycle. Fifteen minutes. In full.—ZIN.
Columbia, St. Louis (Keriewed Monday Matinee, Jannary 24.)
8t. Louis, Jan. 24.—Nora Bayes and Nellie
V. Nichols proved great drawing cards on this
beautlfnl afternoon, filling the Columbia. The bill Is a long one, fnll of good variety, and the
audience left well pleased. Close on the ht'els of Miss Bayes, the headliner and fait of the program, came Nellie V. Nichols; and Toots
Paka and Brooks and Bowen shared third hon¬ ors.
No. 1—Orphenm Travel Weekly. Fifteen min¬ utes.
No. 2—Bessie Devole and Guy Livingston, ex¬
ceptionally clever dancers, got off to a g<K>d start with their dancing numbers, most of which
were new to 8t. Lonls, and well deserved the applan.se given them. Their wardrobe la ele¬
gant. Fifteen minutes, fnll stage; two calls.
No. 8—Shelton Brooks and Clarence Bowen, two black spots of joy, are clever comedians.
Their original expressions and clever dancing
and piano playing kept the audience In an np-
e<ly ami gmsl trick riding. The length of the
bill, however. Interfered somewhat with the credit deserved. Twelve minutes, full stage; one call.
I.ength of bill, two hours and forty-seven minutes.—Wfl.L,
Keith’s, Cincinnati (Beviewed Sunday Matinee, Jannary 23)
Manager Koyal hae done a very discreet
thing In changing the pictures to opening posi¬
tion, Inetead of using them to close the show, ae
formerly. With the reel act first the ahow does not wait for the audience, and the latter
la generally well seated when the opening vaude¬
ville act go*>s on. The bill on view this week Is much better than It looks on paper, but no
genuine hits showed up this afternoon. The
show was just plain, ordinary and wholesome
entertainment, headlined by the Ons Btiwards Song Revue. A rapacity audience was out to¬
day.
No. 1—The Paths Weekly warmed the house
almost to enthusiasm by displaying some patrl-
‘ARE YOU'A PARASITE OR A WHITE RAT?”
McVicker’s, Chicago (Rerlewed Monday Matinee, Jannary 24.)
Chicago. Jan. 24.—The bill at McVlcker's
this week Is nicely balanced, and each act stands out prominently. E<lward Ab.les held the
limelight as the big feature. Harry Breen car¬
ried the honors of the show; business, capacity.
No. 1—-Gene Muller Trio held the opening po¬
sition with a hoop-rolling specialty, in which they executed a series of neat tricks with the
Urge circles that sent them away In a rattling
style. Eight minutes, full stage; one bow.
No. 2—Bessie I.ecount offered a single that
earned approval from the start. Tlie panto¬ mimic Imitation of both sexes dressing In the morning was real, carrying much comedy. Her
recitation at the finish was appreciated. Ten
minutes. In one; one bow.
No. 3—Hendrle and Russell, In a series of dances In which a female Impersonator pre¬
dominates. Tkiey use special scenery, repre¬
senting a dwelUng In ArabU. showing the Dance of Death of the Sheik. Eleven minutes; oi>en
In two, then to one, close in full; two curtains.
No. 4—Three Rlanos Introduced a Uvely ses-
slon of acrobatic stnnu In their jungle home. The chlmpaniee Imitation was out of the or¬ dinary. and their capew won many laughs. Llveness, Rina good gymnastic tricks. resulUd
In solid aRplanse for them. Twelve minutes,
full stage, special set; two bows.
No. 6—Dow and Dow entertained their au¬
ditors with patter that went over to the utmost
satisfaction. Their parodies are gems, and went
over big. Sixteen minutes, in one; four bows^<
No. 6—Klntlng’s Animals performed a rontltle |
of tricks In a well-trained manner that won applause. Dogs, cats, pigeons and a rabbit are
all assembled. The closing balloon stunt, show¬
ing a basket of cats surrounded by pigeons, got a good band. Ten minutes, full stage; one
curtain.
No. 7—Harry Breen la undoubtedly one of the beet nut comedians that has struck our shores In many a day, and can be classed the nuttiest of
the nuts. For twenty minutes he had them
roaring, never losing ’em for an Instant; an
avalanche of laughs. In one; four bows.
No. 8—Edward Abeles and Company presented
a dramatic sketch. Self Defense. He Is accused
of murdering his sister, her husband and baby.
Being dumb he describes, by gesture, the kill¬ ing ef his brother-in-law, who killed bis sister
and her baby, to the district attorney, and Is
discharged for self defense. As the dumb Italian boy Mr. Abeles carries the character
perfectly, and Is capably assisted by the rest of his company. Thirteen mlnates, fnll stage;

Baltimore, Jan. 20.—Oscar Gardner, a vaude¬
ville actor, who Is appearing at the Maryland Theater this week with the team. Moore, Gard¬
ner and Rose, eloped from Indianapolis a few
days ago with Miss Dorothy KeUy.
This headline has been appearing for some weeks In the official organ of the Whits Rata, and I take It for granted that the author of the "Insult” to the Amerioaa Tands- Tlile Performer is Mr. Mountford, who claims the articles as creatures of his own brain.
I have been waiting to see if some American artist would cal) Harry Monntftrd for this Insult to the Intelligence of performers. I take it that there Is so little Interest among the great army of vaudeville artists that what the White Rats are doing is of no moment to them.
For Mr. Mountfoid's Information, there are abont 43,000 persona engaged In tbs different branches of public entertaining in this country. Mr. Mountford claims on paper that 3.000 of the former “parasites" have returned to the folds of Hatland. Be states that there must be at least 4o,O00 "parasites” in the show business in this country. By what right does Harry Mountford print that tbe artist of this country Is a parasite because be will not be the willing tool of the real parasites of tbe show business? Does he mean that nonmembership in the White Rats means that the ontsids artist is making a living at tbe exi>ense of the Whits Ratal
The parasites in tbe show business are some of tbe officials of tbe White Rats Actors’ Union—the men wlai have b«*n living off the White Rats for the past four years; the men who have drained all tbe substance out of tbe White Rats; tbe men who have wii>ed out the funds of the Wtiite Rats; tbe men who have been drawing salaries for no work (>erformed: the men who, today, are using the Whits Rats as a lemon, good for squeezing purposes—these are tho parasites—not tbe artists of this country that you are begging to join the White Rats.
A word to you, Mr. Mountford: 1 don't think you are justified In being quite so brusque in your remarks. You have been well treated by the actors of this country since your arrival from England. During your former term of office you were paid op to $l!tr> a week. The writer figures that you were entitled to all you could get. but It Is ingratitude on your part, now, to insult thotte who paid your former salary. Remember, the Board of Directors paid you nothing. They only sin-nt the moneys of the member¬ ship. Tmlay your salary of $00 per week, while small compared to tbe former remunera¬ tion, is still being paid to you out of the earniags of the artists of this country. Tbe promise you have from the wrecking crew to increase your salary to 31.V) per week Is contingent upon saving the chib. You are appealing to the men and women of the stage, whom you designate as parasites, to assist you in getting your $130 per week. Your oflicial associates will not. Individaally, pay you a salary; no, but if you ran succeed in getting sufficient members to join the White Rats they will onselfishly pay you what they have promised.
Now, friend Mountford, do not lose your head completely. You have not been in this country king enough to get away wlHi all you anticipate. You would not be back in the White Rats were it not that the aumteur crew put the order on tbe mcks. and the last bo|ie wae to get you again. A lielief In your former campaigfi brought In members and money to the order. A boie for future relief has brought in but a small proportion of the former membership. Too many unDilfilled pri'mises are matters of record, ahd the men and women you designate as parasites are waiting to be shown some¬ thing. Up to date the campaign has beeu for members and money. Y’ou will have all that you can consistently attend to In trying to regain the confidence of the artist. Yon will not succeed by attempting to bulldoze and insult them. If you were In England, aa an employee of the V, A. F., She English artists would not allow you to designate them as parasites. While you are not a citixen of these United Btates, still R is your present home, and you are making your living here from tbe earnings of the American artista If you are as Ixmest and as consistent as you claim to be, then fulfill the promises of the past four years—drive out tiio parasites in the order of W'hlte Rats. You promised to clean op and put the order into honest hands, but you have to date failed to make good. In place, yon have again made your closest confidants the most dangerous elements In the White Rats. You are trying to save the parasites. We will not let you get away with It. You claim you have got some of them, and we should be satlafled, and to give yon time to get tbe others. You have bad too much time; tbe parasites In tbe order are Itill In the saddle. We shall not let up until we shall have forced you to come out in the oi>en to tbe membership and expose the men who are the order's most serious enemies. Yon have the proofs and reoords, so why hesitate 1 Do not designate those outside the order as parasites. Give tbe big White Bat a good psychical hath. Remove the parasites from the big White Bat. I’ut your own bouse In order before trying house cleaning on the outside. HARRY lieVEAUS.
acters. When lights were tume<l up. on a lied- room scene, tbe preceding action was found to
be a dream. Heventeen minutes; two Imws.
No. 3—.Mary Melville, formerly of Melville and Higgins, brought out a great deal of sun¬
shine and mirth, and was a genuine favorite from the start. Miss Melville Is as good single
as with a partner, and can put the material over the footlights to the tune of a laugh a
second, and applause all tbnmgh. A well-done song numlier to««k her off to three bows. Worked In one; fourteen minutes.
No. 3—Adelaide llernnann, widow of Herr¬ mann, the Great, presented an elaborately staged and costumed offering of magic, sleight-
of-hand and Illusions, In which she was asalsted
by Miss Julia and a c-omimny of two. 3lme.
Ilerrmaun exhlhite<l the skill and showmanship of her buHlwnd liefore her. and was roundly
applauded l*e<-ause of her remarkable mysteries. Eighteen minntes. In four; spei-lal; two curtains.
Ns. 7—Milt Colllna. The Speaker of the House, discussed all imiortant subjects and some that
were not so Important, and bad the house In
an npmar all the time he was on. His appeals
to patriotism never failed to get a band, and the humorous and ludicrous (mkcs at various topics and people <>nmere<l the laughs as fast
as he could pass the material out. Sixteen
mlontes. In one; three bows, afVr which rolllns "accepted the nomination.”
No. 8—Gos Edwards and his Bong Revue proved to be last sesson's offering, with a few
new turns Injected. Betty Washington, the girl rioltnlst. Is by far the best part of the act,
and her specialty was given the hearty applanse it deserved. Little Georgle has ceased to be tbs
boy phenomenon, and his work today was
greeted Indifferently. Ills Chaplin Impersona¬
tion went best. As a tabloid, on ths whole, the
act Is good, but tbe people walking out annoyed
those who wanted to see tbe offering through. Forty-three minutes, in full stage and one; two
special sets and two special drops.—LEE.
roar, the work going over strong. Twenty
minntes. In one; three calls.
No. 4—Bertee Beaumont and Jack Arnold, In the well-written, cross-fire sketch. The Doc- torine, bandied their parts excellently, pleasing
the auditors. Eight mlnates. In four; two calls.
No. 5—Walter C. Kelly, the Virginia Jmige,
bad tbe audience right with him for eighteen minutes with bis side-splitting monologue. Most
of his stones are new. In one; one call.
No. 6—Nora Bayes hit the ball’s eye with her
excellent singing, and departed with tbe audi¬ ence clamoring for more. 8be accept'd three en¬
cores, and later took a fourth. Hit of the
bill. Thirty minutes, fnll stage; five calls.
No. 7—T'Kds Paka and four Hawaiian singers offered excellent mnsic and snags. Miss Paka's
Hula Hula dance, at tbe close of the act, was
a big bit. Tbe company more than pleas'-d. 'Thirty minutes, full stage; three calls.
No. 8—Nellie ▼. Nichols sang a number of
new songs, and on another bill wfiuld have un¬
doubtedly been the hit. Her work wss cleverly
done and pleased Immensely, Twenty minutes. In one; four calls.
No. 9—Harry Fisher and Oonpany closed the
program with a cycling novelty act, full of com-
otlc acenes. finishing with the latest thing In dress. Eleven minntes.
No. 2—Hay O. Huling presented hla wonder¬
fully trained seal, which went through a routine of exceptional merit. This native of the sea Is
undoubtedly the most highly educated of Its
kind, and was accorded applause enough for four curtains at the close of ths set. Mr. Haling
puts the act over In a very acceptable manner. Fifteen minntea, in three.
No. 3—Jack Corcoran and Tom Dingle opened with a song as an excuse for soma clever dan
cing to follow, and then Injected some '-omedy
at the right place to make them favorites. The
eccentric steps gained much spplanse, and the
patter got many laughs. A stronger finish would DO diHibt raise ths act to tbe hit class. Thirteen minutes. In one; two bows.
No. 4—Charlotte Parry's act. called Info the f.tght. wss barely short of a sensation.
Miss Parry proved herself a protean artist of
the highest type. Her character roles, of which
there were five, were remarkably done, and the
uniqueness of the staring added novelty. The
action of tbe sketch, evoepting the last minute,
takes place on a toully dark stage, with the
spot on Miss Parry as she dOM tbs varioua rbar-
Empress, Cincinnati (Bsvlewsd Monday Matinss, Jannazy 24)
Once the bill at tbe Emprsss thU week get* under way there la not a dull moment to be fotAid, and on tbe whole Is slightly abovs ths
average as gcnnlne, refreshing entertainment. Mercedes Crane, George Lovett and Mile. Zenda
headlined, and held the spot down easily. Rs-
malnlng set* were greetnl beartlly. Ths boose
was almost rapacity, doe mainly to tbe head¬
lined act. There oeemed to be an Impressloo ■Diong some of tbe amlience that M> r. edea. who
played Kelth'a a few weeks ago, was the art
at the Empress, due possibly to the fart that
advertising matter carried the name "Mercedes”
in large type, followed by lbs last nams in ranch smaller type.
No. 1—John llhrglns. an athlete, offerwd asms
chair jumping that was, to say the least, skil¬
fully done. The more dexterous feats were
roundly applauded, and the act closed to a good band. Ten minutes, la three.
No. 2—Will H. Ftehls started the ripples
with a parody number, and soon broadened fhs smiles Into langbs with some well-aimed roono-
Isgqkmateriil. The only thing not quite clear
Is w^^ther Fields was d<ilng a Hebrew or a
Dutch character. This mattered little, as his
stuff hit the spot and earned him both laniabter and applapte. Eleven minutes In ons.
No. S ^id Thomas and Company, tncinding
May Ilamtltso and John Robb, presented a langb-prodnclng sketch, called Mr. Hippy's Nightmare, In which Mr, Thomsa and Miss Han^
Uton did excellent work, capably supported by Mr. Robb SDd the hall rack. Ths comedy lines
and hnstness wrere gosd for numberless Iiagb%
and tbe strong finish sent tbs act off to many
curtains. Beventeen minutes. In thres.
No. 4 -Mercedes Crane, Georgs I»vstt and
Mile. 7enda offered mystifying mind coucentra- tlon. with Miss Crans at tbe piano. Mile. Xendg
answering questions and Mr. lyivett In the aodl- ence. The act waa put over In real showman¬
ship style hy the trio, who made not one mistake this afternoon. Twenty-sli minutes, from tms to two; many curtains and hearty applanse.
No. 5—The Orpheus Comedy Four, a quar¬
tette of men. lived up to their hllflng In ths
respect that they ire decidedly different. Few
acts can approach them In grotesquenesa of mske-np and uniqueness of roatnming. The
harmony nnmhers were good, but ths solos,
which the audience expected, were not forth¬ coming. A rousing finish. In female attire, sent
the set off to hearty applause. Twelve ralnutes. In ons.
No. 3 -The Three Wllle Brothers offered an
eqnlllbrlstlc act of the highest type, and got
as much as any act on the hill. The act la
well costumed In lavender and white, and put
over In Mg time atyle. Nine talnntes of re¬ markably good work. In three.

New York. Jan. 22.—The .t! O. Field Greater
Minatrela were romiadled to lose their datea in
Trenton. N. J., hilled for January 14 and 1.1— and thendty hanga a tale. In February of last
year, according to Mr. Fiebl, a contract was
cloaed with Montgomery Moaea. manager of the
Trenton Theater Cor|>oration. whereby the Field
Minatrela were to apr>ear In Trenton on January
14 and 1.1, inid. It la claimed the Field ahow canceled a date in another city to give Mr. Moaea the two nighta, aa he had aaked. and the
advertlalng matter had been dated and shipped
to Trenton. Ijiter a letter was received from
Mr. Moaea, adviaing that he had changed the policy of Ida houae, re<inestlng Mr. Field to
cancel the datea for Trenton. This Mr. Field
refused to do, but carried out his contract to the letter, even bringing the company into
Trenton yesterday, only to find the theater
locked. As a result Mr. Field has instituted suit In
the r. S. Court for all damages sustained by himself and company, and haa furthermore filed
a complaint against the hlllpoatlng plant of
Trenton, in addition to which a complaint will
be filed with John H. Txvgerman, secretary of
the Advertising Association, against the blllpost-
ing plant. Mr. Field claims that in all hia thirty years
of experience in the managerial end of the
bnsiness he has never before encountered a
proposition of this sort. He alma to push the
case to the limit.

marck, Toovlles. King and
Fin. the canine con¬
tingent.
While the inter¬
change of ahows
has been discon¬
tinued for a while
tbe independent Cir¬
cuit is still intact and making prepara¬ tions for tbe coming
season. At this time
tbe houses using their own companies are presenting stov'k,
and all report very favorable business. This, together with
the elimination of
traveling expense,
makes the old profit
and loss statement
show up in a much
healthier eondition.
At the present it doesn't seem that any interchanging
will be done for at least two more weeks, when a gen¬ eral advance on the
wheel will supply
each house with new faces.
FVank Calder was quite 111 while pitying Cin¬ cinnati. and Tom McCredle took the High Life
Girls to Y’onngstown. The doctors were having
a serious case of It, but when Frank received the statement of tbe flrst day's business In Y’oungstown he showed marked Improvemeut,
and when McCredle’s next communication came
Frank fired tbe doctors, and, proclaiming him¬
self well, left for Cleveland. It's wonderful what that old tonic, good business, will do.
Msnrice Jacobs, after an illnesa of iM^veral
weeks, rejoined bis show In Cincinnati. There waa no pinochle—Mrs. Jacobs was along.
Some people hate the truth, but not Billy Hex-

Both Cincinnati booses are playing to good

THE ROSEY POSEY GIRLS
New York, Jan. 19.—The Rosey Posey Girls
<Jo., with no stars featured, and not even the title of tbe producing company Included on tbe
nearer to providing a genuine program, comes burlesque show than a majority of the Colum-
•Wt Circuit attracUons eo far reviewed thla sea¬
son. While It la true that the Rosey Posey Girls
are lacking In some respects. In the matter of plot, beatty of chorus and a few other revjul-
aitea for this type of entertainment, the show
as a whole la chock full of novelties, and so
/ar this week has been registering very nicely
at the Colombia Theater.
One of tbe novelties Is that tbe chorus girls wear more clothes than is customary; in fact,
gowna are the raiment oftener than the pro¬
verbial tights. Another feature Is the wild abandon with which tbe cboriaters romp and
gamble about during the early part of the sec- -ond act, when handsprings, cartwheels, falls,
bnmps and other mirtb-produoiug stunta are In¬
dulged In. The burlesque on I.ew Kelly, of ♦he Behman Show, and others of note In vaude-
vlUe and burles(jue. Is nnusually good, while the posing spectacles at tbe finish of the first part
come in for merited applause. Taken as a whole The Rosey Posey Girls constitute a bur¬ lesque show quite satisfactory and with an en¬ tire absence of smnt or snggestlveness that Is
most marked.

Editorial Comment BUSINESS
When Oliver Scott passed to his Eternal Reward the Impenetrable Beyond swallowed up a great man In his particular line. The big show world never did appreciate and value this wonderful man at his true, full worth. As a general agent when and Avhere was another such? The only ansAver is an echo to the walling cry and earthly (luery.
In piloting shows Oliver Scott exerci.sed Judgment, foresight and generalship exclusively his own, and touched with A’ictory at every stand and point of season’s way. He had the punch, the stunts and execution that others had not. He guided several different clrouses to success and renown. He rcA'ealed top-notch ability in theatrical and minstrel enterprises. At one time he was partner with the matchless A1 G. Field in burnt cork show. Wherever placed in amusement’s realm Oliver Scott was great, a mighty power and premier.
For years he routed the John Robinson Ten Big Shows, and I don’t believe that under him this powerful show ever saw a losing year. When at its lead he lived at the old. historic Galt Hotel in Cincinnati. A single room was his office and his home, and yet in this humble place were schemed and consummated the mightiest plays and turns of circusdom. There, in that small room, Oliver Scott conceived and wrought ideas, plans and routes that today are borrowed from and copied here and there. He was such a common man. and it was his modest, unassuming manner that i»re\-ented plaudits of the rabble. IT ALWAYS DOES. The smear and surface-coating of aristocracy’s making wins cheers and compliments and title very, very often for
those not deserving. I worked under Oliver Scott as agent to the press. What a pleas¬
ure! How sweet my duties! And rich the schooling! I don’t believe Oliver Scott cA’er harmed a breathing thing—
human, bug, beetle or animal. All, everybody and everything, loved him. He was an honest man. a valued friend, splendid father, good husband, an upright worthy Mason. He was all that God required of
him. When all alone one day. in the years agone, he penned order for
marble monument that would mark his grave. Then and there he summed his common life and victories by instructing inscription to be “date of birth and death and name,” and topping all the common, simple word, expressing more than pen or voice could hope to write or say, "AHEAD.” When raptured with the world, as gen. ral agent, he was “AHEAD,” and now, in death, he’s still ".\HEAD.” Bless his name and memory! No one can sum the love l>orne this simple, com¬ mon. wonderful man. Love for him radiates from his place of birth around the globe, encompassing every clime and people an<l living thing.
THERE’LL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE HIM!

NO MORE LIQUOR ADS IN THE BILLBOARD :
_ ♦
Heretofore the only liquor aiis that were barred from The Bill- I bo.-ird were tho.ne of blends and compounded whiskies—dishonest and f poison'*ut hrand.a of liquors and cordials—because these latter were T so larpely made of wood alcohol, which, even in small doses, causes i
blind nes.s. J Hereafter they are all out. because we could not consider the ex¬
pense of a second and special (or dry) edition, even if the double edition was permitted by the Postotfice, which it is not.
HERK'S THE SOLE AND ONLY RE.ASON POR THE NEW RULE ISSl’ED HEREWITH:
The Billboard, 'Jo Opera Place,
Cincinnati, O.
Oentlemen: We boK to advise you that the States of Alabama, Colorado,
(Jeorifia, Orepon and Washington have pas.sed legislation prohibiting the display or sale of periodicals containing advertisements of alcoholic beverages, and many other dry States it is expected will take the same course.
It will, therefore, be necessary, if you carry any liquor advertising, that it be excluded entirely, or a special edition be prepared for the (juantity rei|uired to cover this territory.
We can give you the information, when desired, of the total number of copies now sent to these States.
Verv truly yours. THE AMERICAN NEWS COMPANY.
Our attitude toward liquor and our policy anent the liquor question remain unchanged.—THE EDITORS.

Despite the political uncertainty, tariff tinkers and the threatened break of mud slingers business in summer amusement affairs, even at this early date, is beginning to show marked activity along the lines of preparedness.
It behooves the man, in the grreat field of outdoor amusements, who has something to sell, to take advantage of this opportunity to secure future business by advertising in the Classified Columns NOW. It will make your goods easier to sell when the season opens up in full blast. Everybody, at this time, is Imbued with the “look-around” spirit, making notes of things needed or useful during the sumr-<er.
What is needed is best answered by sampling some of the jargains in the Classified Department of The Billboard. For variety these columns can not be surpassed. The way to reap the benefits of the 1916 summer season is to start your selling and buying campaign early. Even if you have only one item to offer, it will lead the way to sell other goods you may have for sale later.

What promises to be a punch at the railroads (and a solar plexus punch at that) is fast materlalizinft In the fertile brain of Victor D. Levitt, of the Levitt-Taxier Shows United.
During the past week Mr. Levitt has been having a series of demonstrations of large motor trucks and before this appears in print will have closed for six powerful machines.
While, this season, the Levitt-Taxier Shows United aaIU be forced to travel by rail, the seed of discontent at the exorbitant and unfair rates and extras saddled upon the showman by the railroads has been sovA'n and it is fair to presume that, with six powerful machines, each capable of hauling a load and two or more trailers, in the po.-iaession of Messrs. Levitt and Taxler, the addition of a few more auto trucks next season will be sutfleient to enable this attraction to make many, if not a majority, of its Jumps independently.

SIDE LINES ON THE CONVENTION
W. H. (Bill) Rice has a "new one" that should prove a winner. It's a submarine exhibit that 1* new and novel. "Bill" was kept busy showing the working mo«lel. which he had with him, to the different secretarle*.
They all reis-gnize that we have one common enemy—the rallniads. There was hardly a per¬ son present who did not bring np the qneatinn. and all acknowledged that something wonM have to be done soon or It would be Imismsible for exhibits and amusement coinpaniew to more from fair to fair.
Herbert A. Kline waa expected, but failed to put In an appearance.
Sam H. Fowlkea, ses-retary of tbe Blrmlogham State Fair as wel! as tbe .As*.»c:atlonj waa here, there and everywhere, making Uie visitor* wel come and handling the various details of the convention wltb a master hand.
Sam Levy, of the Tnlted Bswklivr Asaoclation, Chicago, and Rob Roy, of Nashville, were tbe entertainer*, and wherever one of them cooM be seen there was sun- to be a large gathering listening to fnnny stories, and, believe me, some of them Were certaln'y fanny.
Tbe vlaltors began to arrive In Birmingham a* early a* Saturday night, theater parties ami "sight-seeing" taking np their time until tbe meeting.
.Al H. Barkley and Con T. Kenm-dy sprnnx the big surprise during the aftermwn session when they announced that the Kennedy Shows wrou'd play Birmingham, on the street*, nnder the mer rhanta, the week of March 13. nils la Fashion Week, and should prove a big thing for the Ken¬ nedy Show*. Oh. you Barkley—gumshoeing aronnd while the rest were bnsy at the meeting.
Charlea M. Nigro. of the Nigro Greater Show*, wintering in Birmingham, put In an ap|>earance for a few mlnnte*. but did not make a bid for any of tbe big date*.
Nove!t.T "favors" were passi'd around daring the banqnet by Sam l>*vy and S. 11. F<»wlkes.
F. Thomas, secretary of the Dothan lAla.) FYilr the past year, and at present se«*retary of the Selma (.Ala.) Fair, is forming a circuit of •Alabama. Georgia and Florida fairs, ami was seen In conference with many of tbe carnival re(ire*ent*tlve*.
■Arthur Davis, of the W«>rld at Home Shows, made a gissi Impression, and. fem the niaii.v “talk feats” with the different fair secretaries, one nee«l n»t Iw surjtrlsed If the AA'orld at Home Invades Sonthem territory th'* season.
Put this down as one convention that went off without friction of any kid. There was a "get- tegetber spirit" In the air and a 1 must hare Imbibed fres'ly of it before the meeting.
.And this was amdher ".Adam's Ab” conven Hen. showing that tbiwe Inieresteil In amuse¬ ment*, fair* and kimireil interest* do something txsi'des "quaff from the (V»wlng bowl."
Harry E. Crandell wa* busy shaking old friend* by the haml ami mretlnr new onea, ami although attemllnc the meeting a* a "free lanee" will m> doubt make a creditab’e showing in the South for the conipany he repn-si'nts this season.

A Brown, when this quintette sat in a n»*m of the Tntwller and playisl the telephone at 3 a.tn. the day before the meeting.

isdntcl Rawlinson to act aa Mayor until the
first electltvn, which was sche<luled to take
I'.ace In June. But. owing to the fact that the
l’nlt,'d States Government did not re>s>fnlxe Universal City aa a mnnlcipality until early in
July, when the city waa presented with a Government post offl<-e, Preeldent Ijiemmle ex¬
tended Mayor Rawiluson'a term of office until j June 1.5. 1910.
•A few weeks ago the general feeling eeeme,!
to be that Mayor Rawlinson would be re-elected,
and there seemed to be no desire on the part of Universalites to enrxvarage an oiivonent.
Blit during the past week it h.xa been mmorevl
that J. Warren Kerrigan was being urged by hU
fvvllowers to throw bis bat Into the ring.
The city at prtwent la divideil into two fac¬ tions, the Unlversallfes and the Progressives.
The Universalites are for Kerrigan and the Pro-
gnwstves are for 3layor Rawlinson. At present
the Unlvepsallt.'s are in the minority becanse of the fact that the Progressives are In con¬ trol of the municipality, and have been during
the past six months.
Friends of Kerrigan have stated openly that
he would become a candidate for Mayor but for the fact that be and Mayor Rawlinson are dose frlen.la. for he was beard to say to a friend rcv-ently that i>o!ltlcw are like cards, bccanse
when the dealing begins friendship ceases.
On the other band Rawlinson la positive he will be re-elected, and be point* to a clean
record, which he believes will result In giving him a secxvnd term.

New York, Jan, yj.—Following Immediately
on the heels of the announcement that the Universal Film Manufacturing Co. has contracted the greatest list of actors and actresses ever corralled in one studio comes the announcement of the purchase of some of the world's greatest aturies ever printed, stories that were the big¬ gest sellers of their day, by writers whose prom¬ inence haa circled the globe, and whose works have been translated in fourteen different languages. .

Despite rumors to the country, the Universal Film Manufacturing Company has lost none of its players except those that it bad decided to drop. It has been a steadfast rule of the Universal to accord Its players positively the best treatment given by any mutiuu picture company, and once play¬ ers have shown their xalae to the Universal they become Inseparable, and "those players are only too glad to stay with this great glm manufacturing concern, and right at the present moment the Universal has not only the greatest aggregation of talent in Its history, bat a far greater number of drst-claas motion picture stars than any other company.
It only n-malna for these stars to be fltted with the proiier vehicles to turn out the best work in their career, and this part has been left antirvdy to II. J. Shepard, bead of the scenario departmeut, and he has certainly been kept busy scouring the market for the most adaptable and highest class material that could be filmed.

The picture be did waa Tbe Coward. Now he la under a two-year contract with m«~— not becauae be la bo|>iDg to amaaa a fortnnn, mind yon, but becauae be knowa be can do big¬ ger thiuga in tbe atndio.
Btllle Burke, who a few weeki ago completed ber Brat motion picture api>earance under my di¬ rection, preeenta aii Intereatlug citation of the ■tage Btar'a awakening. I will admit that Mian Burke, through aheer attachment to ber atage duties, did not awaken until the bad experienced a day ouder tbe atudio dltfuaers. But the awak¬ ening then—when It did come—waa recorded Is most emphatic terma.
“Ob, bow I wlab,'* said Mins Burke to M when I asked her bow she liked the new wo^, “that I knew, a few years ago, aa much aboet pantomime aa 1 do now. It would bave helped me immennely.’’ Mlae Burke spoke a truth. Bhe la an artlat to her Anger tlpn, bat sbe has never contribnted a more delightful performanes In all ber career on tbe stage than she baa doM In this motion picture production in which ahe will soon be seen. And 1 say tbia not in m spirit of reckletwnesa or egotistical enthntlaas but In tbe hope that my words will serve, la • measure, to convey my contention.
The man who says that I am partial to ttaa actor or actress who haa beeu aveoclated with the legitimate stage is correct. I am partial because I believe that true artistry la prevalcal In tbe graduate student of the drama rather than In tbe mere personalities which handsoBM and pretty faces, aided by that potent factor, publicity, have brought to the fore. True nr- tletry cannot And a more pronounced medium of expression than In the motion picture studio. And our great American actorn and actressen are realizing It. Tliat In why they are lintenlng to our offers. It la tbe awakening.
Here In thin unrivabsl California snnahlne they are rubbing their e.ves and joining bands In making I.(,s .\ngclcn The New Rialto.

this phase of It—tbe oi>portanltlea presented by the change. This likely may be traced to the fart that most of the authors have lacked the chance that I bave had wf studying the sit¬ uation. By tiiat 1 mean that I bave bad more sdmittedly notable actors and actre»«es under my personal siijiervUlon than any other of my esieemod ronfrerrs.

Among tbe first reputable artists of tbe stage wh.. came under roy ani>ervU|on waa George Behan. 1'%^ years Mr. Behan bad siHin(l(Hl the depths of emotion by his masterful characterlaa- tlooa before the ftsdllgbts—es|(ectally In bis one- act play, Tlie Sign of the Rose, a true dramatic gem.
