Sponsors Confident That It Will Be Accepted

New York, April 15.—The big circus interests of America have had a con¬ ference extending over six days in this city, which was brought to an amic¬ able and successful conclusion tonight.

The object of the conference was an endeavor to get together and help the railroads to handle the long circus trains in congested territory.

It was clear to all concerned that un¬ less the circus folks could extend some really helpful suggestions and advice to the regional directors that the latter would be compelled to issue a manda¬ tory order refusing circua business al¬ together.

With sidings filled to overflowing, terminals congested and motive jmwer at the lowest ebb it has been in years, no one road could contemplate two big shows on Its line at one time for in-

Sergeant Empey To Wed New York. April 13.—Many play¬ wrights and actors yesterday gathered at the Plaza Hotel and discussed plans

for the establishment of an Actors and Authors’ Theater here. All were

very enthusiastic over the project,

and speeches were delivered by sev¬ eral, including Edwin Milton Royle, Augustus Thoma.s, Louis Anspacher,

Howard Kyle, W. Herbert Adams, Mrs. Thoma-s A. Wise, Madame Yor-

ska, Cosmo Hamilton and Virginia

Fox Brooks. Mr. Royle presided at the meeting and Messrs. Anspacher

and Hamilton offered any of their material to the proposed theater free of charge.

It is the intention of the play¬ wrights and actors to run the theater on the co-operative plan and have it modeled after the French theater. Professional players often lose time between engagements, but with the new theater in operation this will be overcome, as they will be given work here and receive, in addition to a small guarantee, a pro rata share of the receipts. The membership will be divided into two classes—perma¬ nent and temporary. The permanent members will be shareholders and receive a pro rata share of the profits, while the temporary members will comprise those appearing at the thea¬ ter for a long or short period. The latter will be given a small weekly guarantee in addition to a pro rata share 'f the profits during their respective engagements. Twenty-five thousand dollars’ worth of shares of 3100 each will be sold. Quite a num¬ ber of shares were disposed of yester¬ day. Professionals may not be stock¬ holders.

In his speech Mr. Anspacher made the suggestion that two shows be giv¬ en a day, but some of the performer.® were not in favor of this. Mr. Kyle

(speaking for the Actors’ Equity As- .sociatlon) was opposed to this plan, stating that it would not be fair to the performers, insofar as they might get more money with another man¬ ager and not have to give as many shows. The plans in detail will be

By WilliSm Judkiiis||HeWitt New York, April 13.—The snow and rainstorms of the past few days

have hurt theater patronage. Some would call this an unlucky day—not so, the sun Is shining and big matinee business is looked for in all the play¬ houses. • •••••

The actor (man and woman) is doing great work in the Third Liberty Loan drive. • •••••

Today amusement men are talking about the advantages the coming back of the two-cent piece and the proposed flfteen-cent piece would accord them. • •••••

Marie Dressier, In her Liberty Loan speech, brought down the house at the Palace Theater the other night when she cried: *T am an American!” "1 am a Democrat!” • •••••

Charles Chaplin has again broken into print around these parts. • •••••

B. J. Kilpatrick arrived yesterday and registered at the Knickerbocker. • •••••

Harry R. Raver is in line to give us a real sensation in pictures.

All arrangements have been completed for the Showmen’s Hospital bene¬ fit at the Hippodrome Sunday, April 21. It promises to be a veritable mas- todonlc performance and a box-office recordbreaking affair.

• ••••• Kitty Doner Is truly a dancing demon at the Winter Garden.

• ••••• A paper published in this city, supposedly a trade publication devoted

to the best interests of the vaudeville profession, gets its support from the ! vaudeville artist by wielding the club of fear and not the palm of respect. Its policy is all wrong and the vaudeville artist should see the error of his way. He should be big enough in body, brains and talent to fear not the subsidized opinion of a publication that is pliable to the amount of dollars and cents expended in its advertising columns.

• ••••• The report that the ticket speculators had gotten hold of the Belmont

Theater seems to be without foundation. • •••••

John C. Vivian, of Denver, is visiting In the city. He Invites Billboard readers to call on him when in his home town at his office in the Symes Building. • ■ • • • • •

Crowds continue to flock to the Columbia Theater to see burlesque as it is presented in its official New York home. • •••••

Erwin Justice, of the Fox Film Corporation press department, is re¬ ported ill at the French HospitaL

• •••••

Dirigible balloons and warplanes that frequently fiy over the theatrical district in the Interest of the Liberty Loan attract a great deal of attention. • •••••

Marie Tempest is due in soon from her Australian tour. • •••••

Some theatrical firms need writers of matter for the press more than they do press departments—it would seem from the amount of nonsensical “squash” that many are sending out. • •••••

Joseph McManus, described by the press agents as a young California composer, wrote the music for Quack, Quack, a Shubert play, with music, soon to be on the boards bidding for public favor.

• •••••

Marie Centllvre has charge of the “lodge of sorrow,” which the Green¬ wich villagers are planning in honorable memorj* of the late Richard Mans¬ field. Jr.

Among the famous Greenwich Village resorts are the Purple Pup, Yellow Hound and Chocolate Bow Wow. What is the matter with these titles for 1918 season burlesque shows? • •••••

Nearly all the cabarets are undergoing changes and alterations, getting ready for newer and greater cabarets for the summer season. • •••••

Lieutenant Pat O’Brien, famous escape artist from German war prisons, is doing great work for the Liberty Loan. • •••••

•The first annlversarj' of the Bijou* "Theater was celebrated yesterday by tho house staff, which gave a supper. • •••••

Oscar Radln. who has been musical director of the Winter Garden since Its opening, has been succeeded by Charles Pervln. • •••••

Women who are now good New York voting citizens should take their hats off In theaters when the national air is being played. Wish that the theater managers would see to this. • •••••

From the way the Liberty Loan is posted and generally advertised would indicate that the Government Is the greatest advertiser In the wide world. • •••••

Why not a cabaret named the Broadway Dream Garden? • ••••• The Fulton Theater .seems to have been playing some short weight shows

of late. Judging from the many changes taking place in that house. (Coatlnurd on page 61)

Actors* Equity

May Change Constitution To Admit Junior Members

New York, April 15.—An amend¬ ment to the constitution of the Actors’ Equity Association, which will be pre¬ sented at the annua! meeting on May 27, will no doubt double the member¬ ship of the organization. This amend¬ ment, which Is approved by the di¬ rectors of the Equity, will lower the bars to the newcomers and beginners in the theater and permit them to be¬ come Junior members of the society. Heretofore the applicant had to have at least two years of experience on the stage before he could qualify, but under the present plan one appearance on the stage is sufficient. This per¬ formance must have been a public one, of course, and the performer must have received a money consid¬ eration for his services.

The dues for the Juniors will be $5 a year, the same as those holding full membership, and w-ill be used in de¬ fraying the legal expenses of the or¬ ganization in their behalf. This ex¬ pense in the past has had to come out of the treasury of the Equity. There are now approximately 3,600 members of the Actors’ Equity Association.

Dinner to William Morris

Ex-Business Manager of the White Rats Gives Stereotyped Answer to Many Questions

Asked at Investigation Into Financial Affairs of the Former Organization

New York, April 13.—“The books will show” seemed to be Will J. Cooke’s slogan during his cross examination yesterday before Ref¬ eree Lewis H. Schuldenfrel, who has been appointed by the Supreme Court to investigate the financial af¬ fairs of the White Rats Actors’ Union. Nothing very sensational developed with the exception of the claim by Joseph J. Myers, attorney for Mount- ford, that they were going to prove that Cooke helped himself to over $2,000 more than was coming to him from the organization.

Mr. Cooke admitted that he was not “friendly” towards Mr. Mountford, but said that his evidence was unbiased. He admitted that the total assets of the organization when he took office were $136,428.47, but could not re¬ member what the assets were when he left. “But,” added Cooke, “most of the assets when 1 took office were nothing hut bunk.” Questioned by the referee as to what he meant by “bunk” Cooke stated that the stock in The Player, Associated Actors, etc., was absolutely worthless, but nearly all of his answers were, “The books will show.” For a man who had been business manager of an organization for four years he displayed the most amazing lack of knowledge of the

“I imagine much more,” said Cooke, “but,” he added, “the books will show.” But the Joker in the woodpile is the fact that most of the books were

LAST WEEK’S BEST VAUDEVILLE ACTS N. V. A. NEWS

By “ED" HcNAXEE

ARTITCR BARRETT’S IDEA .\rthur Barrett, who collected over tilrty-flTe

dollars one night last week for the .\rmy Girls’ Transport Fund, has Inaugurated a drive for

smokes for all N. V. A, men in the service. Contribution boxes are now being made up and when the smokes are sent across every N. V. .A.

boy, from the highest to the lowest military rank will share in the smokes contributed by his brothers.

PROPAGAND.V

Work for the benefit. Write In for tickets.

Work up enthusiasm among fellow members. Surely you can land at least one ad. Send In for blank piogram forms, also contract blanks.

Talk benefit wherever you go. Write In for ten tickets today. Don’t let this thing flop. Every member wants to get busy. Or make it twenty tickets. This is one affair you can’t work too hard for. it’s for you.

DOING THEIR SHARE

If you ever hear it said that vaudeville actors are not patriotic uail that lie and nail it hard. Listen to this: Speeches are being made at all

the vaudeville theaters on the present loan drive by our members. Vaudeville benefits in all parts of the country have had their bills composed in part or entirely of N. V. A. volunteers. One of

the highest Individual scores for the sale of the Second I.tberty I/>an Bond was made by a member. Every tobacco and Bed Cross activ¬

ity has its N. V. A. pluggers, and the Honor

Boll of the club was running well into ‘he hun¬

dreds long before a draft was ever beard of.

LATEST N. V. A. FIGHTERS

GRIST FROM THE MILL

The dispute between the acts known as Tor- cat’s Boosters and Grant’s Roosters has been shelved by the Committee on Material, as they have been unable to discover any infringement in either act. George McFadden has been in¬ definitely suspended for conduct unbecoming

a member. The cases of Johannas Josephsson against the Tamakl Troupe, both acts appearing

COWBOY ELLIOT With Don Fulano, smartest comedy horse act in the world. Booked solid for summer season. Open for bur¬ lesque or vaudeville in the fall.

IN NEW YORK (HILLIAR’S SELECTIONS)

P«t Rooney and Marion Bent, in a timely, patriotic playlet. Over Here, in which Rooney has injected his own personality and ability to such an extent that he is practically “the whole show.” It is a satire on draft exemption, and went over very big, but when Rooney steps down in "one” at the finish and goes into an encored "song and dance” routine, assisted by Marion, the act runs aw’ay from all control and ends midst riotous applause. At the Palace, Monday matinee.

Theodore Kosloff and Company duplicated his success of several weeks ago at this theater. Kosloff himself is still the master of all Rus¬ sian male dancers, and his company probably could not be excelled. With his beautiful setting and attention to minute artistic details this act could be lengthened and play the $2 houses. At the Palace Theater, Monday matinee.

Venita Gould, with her imitations, scored a huge success. Her Im- personatins of Bert Williams, Nora Bayes, George Cohan and Mary Nash were piobably her best liked efforts. Miss Gould Is a real actress and makes friends with everyone instantly. The act was enjoyed Im¬ mensely at the Colonial Theater Monday evening.

Eddie Leonard was the big hit of the show personally, as when he leaves the stage the act slows down, but his popularity was never before so apparent. He had to sing nearly all of his old songs In addition to his newer ones—but the old ones are best. Enthusiastic applause at the Riverside Monday evening.

Nevins and Gordon, in a skit. Succor to the Wounded, proved them¬ selves to be two very clever artists, who made a wonderful Impression on the crowd up In the Roof. They have a line of snappy and humorous conversation, then sing and dance. The dummy dance by Miss Gordon Is excellently put over and caused much surprise. Two sure-fire entertain¬ ers at the American Roof Tuesday evening.

Ben Welch, in next to closing position, was responsible for many laughs. He has lost none of his storytelling ability, and, while using practically no new material, he knows how to put the punch in at the right moment, and thereby creates continuous laughter. He was re¬ warded with several bows at the Palace Theater Monday matinee.

Marie and Billy Hart, in closing position, entertained and delighted the many patrons of Fox’s most popular theater. Hart’s comedy and his wife’s remarkable versatility all blend Into a thoroly enjoyable circus offering. At the City Theater, Wednesday evening.

IN CHICAGO (Casper’s Selections)

Yvette and Saranoff have what should be recorded as the most ver¬ satile and enjoyable musical act going the rounds of vaudeville. The vio¬ lin is used by a young lady and young man as an entirely novel instru¬ ment of entertainment. Interspersed with the action surrounding the use of this instrument singing and dancing play an important part in this most pleasing presentation. At the Palace. Monday matinee.

Valeska Suratt, sensuous and impetuous, as the Russian heroine of The Purple Poppy, foiling the machinations of an exiled Russian general, contributes a fine dramatic bit to contemporary vaudeville. At the Ma¬ jestic, Monday.

El Brendel and Flo Bert got as many laughs as could be registered per second because of Brendel’s quaint characterization of an overconfi¬ dent Swedish youth. Incidentally Flo’s singing served In fine contrast to the rapid-fire comedy. This proved one of the best applause acts of the week (or of the year, for that matter). At the I’alace, Monday.

The Alaska Trio have an ice-skating novelty especially pleasing to the eye, a faithful reproduction of the frozen North forming a gorgeouf background. Their feats are out of the ordinary. At the Majestic, Monday.

MECHANICAL RIGHTS SAVE THE DAY

Publishers Depend Upon Rec¬ ords and Rolls for Main¬

taining Elaborate Offices

If a history of Amerlran music publishing U

CTcr compiled the period thru ivhich we are now passing will doubtless be termed *'the mechanical era.” Today the phonograph records and pianola rolls count for more In the publisher's estimation than the dealers—and even the fact that u head¬ liner is using a certain song in vaudeville is more actively employed in mechanical instru¬ ment publicity matter than for the channels that alfect counters.

The plain truth if tho mutter is that every thing secured from the instrument makera is "gravy,” as the proc-iss of manufacture involves no expense and great profit to the publisher. Tlie record and roll makers must make a royalty ac¬ counting for each record sold—and the royalty is fixed, not depending upon the sales price.

It is this aspect of the publishing business which makes it possible for some of the larger cQncerns to maintain such elaborate premises and awe-inspiring pay-rolls. Some publishing i-on- cems conduct their entire activities as camou¬ flage for mechanical rights. Tho their numbers may not move very fast, they make so much noise about them in advance that the record and roll makers (necessarily forced to select material in its prepopular stage—for to wait too long ob¬ viates chances of vecord sales) gladly issue con¬ tracts, Judging the numbers by the publishers’ “ravings.”

It would seem to the careful observer that our

friend, the music publisher, finds too much com¬ placence in observing the manner in which

phonograph royalties enrich him. He is too much inclined to look upon these extraneous

earnings as a blessing from heaven without

ever asking himself: "What have 1 done—what am I doing to deserve such reward?”

Successful publishers became so because of

the manner in which they did just one thing— the way in which they prepared and distributed

sheet music. When all is said and done this— and only this—is the publisher’s business. If

he permits his organization to become loose, or, on the other hand, indulges in too much ex¬

travagance because of the unearned mechanical

royalties, the time will come when his business

will be reduced to a point that will make it impossible for him to impress mechanical instru¬

ment people to any great extent.

.\t great initial expense mechanical instru¬

ment men are beginning to b am that what the publsher says must bo taken with a grain of

salt. Phonograph record makers are slowly be¬

ginning to learn that so-called professional ad¬ vertising—with its array of empty superlatives

—is really meant for their consumption rather

than that of performers. .Vt first the phono¬

graph men found in the announcements origi¬ nally framed for performers clues regarding

suitable material. But when all the publishers

framed such announcements on the long shot

'that phonograph people would see them and be¬ come duly impressed the mercbani''al Intrument

men found that they could not trust these broad assertions.

At some time not far distant the men in

cliarge of song selecting departments of record and roll concerns will be chosen be<-anse of their

understanding of the popular music field. A few JabB of the needle of common sense at the Infiated camonfiage of publishers’ claims will put

this field on a practical basis.

Publishers who rememb»-r the way their brief reign of joy was brought to an end when the

syndicate dealers put in the demand system, re¬

fusing to be flooded with indifTen-nt manuscripts,

would do well to heed t'..is prophecy.

The publisher who would like to see his biisl-

iiesa secure in the face of the Inevitable upward

development'of the phonograph ceefi only remind

himself constantly that bis business was built

up on the ability to prepare and distribute sheet

music. Tliose who keep their organizations in such shape that they continue the practice of distributing the best kind In tbe best way need

have to fear that ally future development of tbe en l will put them out of business.—

SONG LOGIC NEW YORK 80NQ CHATTER

By 70Kir KZIvrMAV

The Bnrkhardt-Horwiti Music Company la the name of the latest entry into tbe publishing bnslDese, having opened ofllces at 152 W. Forty-

fifth street. Max Burkhardt Is assnmtng tbe role of professional manager, while bis partner, Mr. Horwlta, will look after the commercial end.

The combination looks good and Tbe Billboard wishes them success In their new venture.

"There's nothing to It, Johnny, it Is going to be one of the biggest songs that I have pub¬

lished In years. If requests from performer*

and orders from dealers are still the real answer to km>w whether yon have a bit or not. The Makin’s of the C. R. A. is a hit.” That’s what

Harry Von Tllaer told me about this wonderful tobacco song.

While talking to Rudolph De Vivo of tbe Times Music Publishing Company I asked him how well be liked this new line of business,

and bis answer was, "Why shouldn’t I like It when I am fortunate enough to have a catalog with such songs as America. Make tbe World

Safe for Demoi'racy, and Little Yokohama Lady. Both »>Dgs are far above my expectations, a*

the sale Is very large, and considering tbe class of performers who are both writing for the song and calling at the oIBce I have no fear that both will be big hlta”

One of tbe qnickest song successes Is tbe

distinction now enjoyed by Harry De Costa’s song. Thst Soothing Serenade, pnbllsbed by M.

Wltmark & Sons. It has a grip that is both instant and sure. As an applause getter there are few songs available today that can surpass

know of many firms that started on a real

small seale and put It over as fast and who did it on a good, rtean-ciit basis any quicker than Howard A La Vsr launched .H<uncwbere in rrance Is Daddy. The song Is having a terrlfle sale and promlges to bee.iroe a standard for the

A great idea came to me and I Just had to write a song so good that I felt forced to sing It day and night. I swear no better set of wi^rds was ever put to song; oh. what a melody 1 had, it lightly flowed along like brooklets flow beneath tbe sun to bless tbe month of June, a song like mine was bound to pnt the whole wide world In tune. And now I'll try to tell you why, tho this song was a bear (and should have been a hit). It never got me anywhere.

Not playing the piano well, 1 thought I'd hum the tune to an old friend I met within a neighborhood saloon. I said, "Old pal, come, have a drink and listen while 1 pay," and then I sang as if my life depended on the way my wondrous number took with him, but here's the part that's queer: Altho my friend was drinking nothing but the lightest beer, his face cbangetl colors till I cried: “What's w:ong, pal, are you sick?" "1 wasn't till you cauie,” he said; "please cut that noise out quick.”

I brought a lead sheet to the girl that 1 thought I'd soon wed. “riease play this little song for me," I swear was all I said. Tbe minute she looked at my song it seetm-d to me her love bad passed to some place higher than tbe highest star above. She said: "Wbate'er induced you such a fun'ral tune to write, when Chopin wrote such soothing stuff?”—still we'd have bad no fight if 1 bad not come back with "It sounds faster when I siOg.” I sang It and she gave me back my new engagement ring.

I had a friend who said he'd put it on tbe phonograph. When I ran into him again he met me with a laugh. He said: "'For years we tried to get a record that would show the noise of modern battle and depict its dreaded woe. Altho we siient a fortiiu'' ev'ry rrcvird turned out wrong. I thought tbe job was hopi-le'* till 1 bit upon your song. I beats tbe noise of battle we recorded at great cost, but folks don't want the music of a battle that was lost."

Will someone kindly tell me why that song hit me that night? The world has railed It hopeless, tho to me It seems all right. The very swing that charms me fills all others with alarm; when I ask folks to UiAen they're sure they will come to barm. I plctun-d people saying, "Here’s another Irving B.,” but that Is not precisely what they're saying about me. Now all 1 want to ask Is (and I hoi>e you’ll make reply) is all the whole world crazy, or, to tell the truth, am I?—CASI’KB NATHAN.

PUNCTUATION

In correcting proofs many well-intentioned people lay Uv* much stress upon panctuation. Punctuation, as a matter of fact, is notbing more than ('•imnion sense applied to a manascript. In the case of a song a great deal depends upon the APPE.\H.V.NCE of the manuscript, which Is one reason why a majority of songs publlsbeil are nnderpunctiiatcil. Many m.irks are n<it Deeded. How seldom is an exclamation point, tbe re|>eated use of tbe question mark or tbe ap¬ plication of the colon required in song.*. The average song could be expressed Vi.v tbe comma and period only. However, when a printer has adhered closely to a manuscript in which the word writer has found occasion to employ many punctuation marks, if the completed pri»>f Is clear, removing tbe excess marks in the editing process is really wasting time. The only time excess panctuation should be taken seriously is when it threatens to disrupt tbe main rhyme- scheme by dividing one portion of a song Into shorter lines than that in which an earlier portion written along the same rhyme-scheme has been divided. In such cas«-s the excess capital* and marks should he obliterated. When it comes to the use of quotation marks, the best rule is to employ them whenever neoessar.v, bearing in mind, however, that the continuity of verse expres¬ sion t^ould be maintained, so that the song will not take on the appearance of a succession of quotation marks iutermpted by words.

Miss'Farrar will be the particular star of the pro^am, but she will be surrounded by other stars. One of these is John McCormack.

TEN YEARS OF GUILIO GATTl-CASAZZA Noted Violinist Has Taught Several Present Day Geniuses .

ChlcaRO, April 15.—Especial sifnlflcance ws*

attached to Leopold .\ner’8 recital at Orchestral Hall Sunday afternoon because this eminent

violinist of Tetrocrad has cained fame as the

teacher of Elman. Zimballst, Heifeti, Edd.r

Brown and Rosen and Kathleen Parlow,

Ever since his appointment as general man¬ ager of the Metropolitan Opera Company, New York, ten years ago, Cu'.lio Gatti-Casaxza has grown in the esteem of the music-loving public and in the affection of the personnel of the Opera House, Two qualities emphasize them¬ selves pre-eminently in Mr. Oattl-Casazza’s char¬ acter—modesty and justice. He never seeks the limelight. Only on the rarest occasions can he be induced to appear before the curtain at an operatic premiere. His theory Is that the stage spectacle should speak for the impresario.

“I want DO personal reclame,” be said on one occasion to a newspaper friend. "Bay what you can for the orchestra, for the artists, for the ranstcal director, for the workers behind the scenes, if you find that their combined effort; are successful, that is all I wish.”

Needless to say that it is this quality that has made Mr. Oattl-Casazza so beloved by every¬ one associated with Mm -in the Metropolitan Opera Boum. If adverse criticism should be made upon the werk of any individual in his service, high or low, from musical director to stage hand, never doee Mr. Gatti-Casazza cen¬ sure until he has beard all sides. The result of this has been that never in the history of the Metropolitan Opera Boose has the machinery of that institution run with such smoothness as today. lYbile &Ir. Gatti-Casazza’s most severe critics during bis first year have become bis warmest and slncerest friends. Instead of “Itallzing” the opera, as some who did not know his twelve years’ record as bead of the great

Bcala Opera of Milano predicted he would do, he has shown a broadmindedness sand catholicity of

taste in bis repertoire, and has more firmly than ever established the Metropolitan Opera

Bouse as the leading lyric theater in the world. Mr. Gattl-Casazza is in the prime of life

physically and Intellectnally. Bom 49 years ago

noff. Prince Igor, L’Amore del Tre Re, Lodoletta,

Ftanceeca Marouf, Ste. Elizabeth, Le Coq d'Or, da Rimini, etc.

Most Important of all his services for the Metropolitan Opera Company is the interest be

has taken In the work of American native com¬ posers. When he came to America no one ever

tliougbt of Introdncing an opera by an American

composer In a regular Metropolitan repertoire.

Be decided this was unjust and began to search for a suitable work to present. The result was

the production of a work by Fred 8. Converse,

entitled The Pipe of Beslre. That it was not

a success was not Mr. Gattl-Casazza’s fault, but

Supreme fourt Justice Weeks, of New York,

commented last week that the cost of living was extremely high in the national capital.

The court was sitting to bear the p'.ea of

Airs. Margaret 8. Puffey, who bad brought suit

against her husband, J. Bumbird Puffey, vocal 1st, for a divorce. Mrs. Puffey told the court

after the decree bad been granted that she bai

arrange,! to stay with some friends in Washlag- ton and that it would cost her altuut $l.'t5 a month to live with them.

‘•YeS, perhaps, under those circumstances yon

could manage it,” said the court, slowly, ‘‘but nnder others y*>a could not.” Rents are nx

orbltant in Washington, D. C., servants are

almost Impossible to obtain and food is ex- ceeillngly high there, as I happen to know.”

Justice Weeks decreed that Puffey should pay his former wife a week alimony for the sup¬

port of her and the children, Allen, aged 0, an,! Jefferson, aged 8 yeara.

father, Stephano Gattl-Casazza, still hale and hearty, Italian Senator and President of the Provincial Connell of Ferrara, was one of the famous ’’Thousand,” thnt band of daring volun¬ teers who accompanied Garibaldi In bis historic Invasion of BicHy in 1859. lAke father, like son, Guillo Gattl-Casazza, altbo be accepts the monarchical fo i of government as at present best suited to Italy, he Is a democrat at heart, and It Is I’lls generous, democratic spirit which has- given him the sympathy of bis entourage at the Metropolitan Opera House.

It is no easy matter for a foreigner, even for such a hish-cultnred Italian as Guilio Gattl- CAsazza, who did not know a word of the Eng¬ lish language, to be appointed to such a position as the bead of the Metropolitan Opera Company

of New Y’ork.

Of course, it was known that be bad been a most successful manager at the Scala, but to the practical American this meant much less than It might seem to Italians. “What did he know ahont American conditions and American tastes?” was asked by many d-jbious critics. And,

Indeed, for a year or mare the Metropolitan Opera House was no bed of roses for the gen¬ eral manager. A powerful Teutonic clique did its best to undermine him. A more or less suc¬ cessful effort was made to keep him from per¬ sonal contact with the representatives of the newspapers, whose impression bad much to do with the creation of popular opinion.

However, all this trying time and all these early days of his management Mr. Gatti-Casazza maintained a cool bead and splendid dignity, saying little, avoiding criticism of his critics, studying the language of h's new home, care¬ fully reading the newspapers and s-nslaT t’.ie public taste of New York in particular nuJ of America In geuer.-!l.

Needless to say, Mr. Gattl-Casazza won out by sheer force of character and brilliance of achievement.

In bis ten years be has presented more than one hundred different operas, the annual season of twenty-three weeks calling for a repertoire averoging forty. Can any opera bouse in the world match su<-h a record? Many works never before beard In America were introduced to the public hy him. Puccini’s Girl of the Golden West had its world premiere here.

There has been a decided falling oft in the competition for the serrices of legitimate stars in the movie field. Usually, at this time of the year, the star whose peraonal appearances are announced with electric Ughu feels himself slighted If the day's mall doesn’t bring in a couple of cnveknes with the return address of prominent film companies that can he ostenta¬ tiously cast Into the wastepaper basket in the presence of witnesses. It got so that film mag¬ nates had to resort to telegraph forms to assure themselves that their tempting offers were even read, which proves their newness to the game, for DOW that offers are no longer forthcoming there are few among the players that cannot quote the spumed temptations verbatim.

The film people figure that a star must he kept conetantly before the picture fans to re-

parta that Nazlmova can do eo much better than anyone eUe.

Of course there are ezceptlona, but as a rule the notable work In the plctnre world is being done by the men and women whose ex¬ perience has been largely in legitimate fields. Picture-developed film favorites for the most part fall In the class of the type actor. And It is the art of the legitimate that is helping to make movie going the nation’s favorite In¬ door sport.

DRAMATIC NOTES

Clara Moores, wonderfully sncceseful as lead¬ ing lady for William Hodge, in A Cure for Curables, began her career with a small stock company in Seattle. This is her second seseon In New York.

Shakespeare’s blrOxlay will be celebrated at the Cort ‘Theater, New York, with a series of

The Army With Banners may have carried many Important messages last night, but one. the forerunner of these, was distinctly not. “They will carry them long.”

It was probably lost in the confnsion of obscure I and veiled symbolism, tedious revelations con¬ cerning the infinite, and a right smart dash of incongruous burlesque. The play was heavy on long speeches and light on dramatic action. It is programmed as a comedy. If this play Is a comedy it contains material enongh to make two doxen Hiteby-Koos and two ' gross Let’s ilos and have much to spare.

I The title of the play Is from the verse In the Song of Solomon: “Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun and terrible as an army with banners?”

I It was dlfllcult to get a clear understanding of I this strange mixture, which probably contained

on eloquent message. Each member of the cast read the long lines of

his or her respective part with remarkable earnestness.

Miss Matthlson spoke with the clearness which has characteriied thla graceful artist in the past, but for the final lines even her voice proved hardly adequate, tho she made a beautiful figure In the final scene, with upraised arms, over which fell the filmy white draperies of her

in along, graceful folds on either side.

In thla campaign the theater, the nioTlBg plctnre and the popular song have played a very vital part. It waa a aong, yon srlll remember, that aet the world on fire when a group of determined men marched from Mar- •eOlea to Parta with an Ideal In their bearta soa.eUi.og ovir a hundred yeara ago. It may still be a aong, or a play, that will write the history of the next hundred yeara to come.

The plctnree have an advantage over the legu.mate piaya la that their method of re¬ lease tella their atory to an Infinitely greater number of people In a very much shorter time. In a way they cannot te’J their a’.ory as Impres- s rely as can the spoken play, tho they speak to their fastiiun to a public more easily Im¬ pressed. And DO one can deny that the pictnrea It least have helped to create the enthusiasm, the paasloaate desire to win that is going to bring ua victory. If the pictures can ilo thla why can not the superior medium If it Is placed within the means and at the convenience of the k.nd of audience that is likely to respond to its sppeal?

Bat unfortunately there have N'cn few actors who have been able to convince the army suTgeonv that they have in them the makings of the soldier. There are many, of coarse, who haven't •fled. Most of them for the very good reason • •ist th«y couldn’t pass master. And It’s cheap heroism for a man to risk certain rejeetkm.

That none of the grnlus<-a of the theater hive aa yet produced a Work symbolic of the ►I'lrlt of the cnnntry is a misfortune; that the *«r plays produced to date have been mainly l»>mbtstic and have rell.'d upon UMWe or less «n...nvlnclng scenic and mass effects to carry tlirir thrills—In fact have merely invaded the field of Ujo moving picture at a decid»-d disad¬ vantage—Is a still greater misfortune.

tain their drawing powers. There la tnneh Shak¬ ing of heads over the probability of the come¬ back of a film favorite af a year or two ago who has been thru some months of enforced idle¬ ness because of dtIBouItles over a contract for services. The chances are that they ate wrong In thla instance, for the young lady la qnestlon is atlU affectionately remembered, and will no •Voubt re-establish her vogue in a trice If her yonth and gwsl ks>ks hold onL For, after all, that seems to be the prime essential for univer¬ sal popularity.

.V case In point: \ few days ago we saw a picture that displayed a company of very capable legitimate actors, a cast that would liave graced a Itrvsidway idiow, playing In aop- l>ort of a star devekHwd in a few years of plctnre work. The star bad nothing bat a love¬ ly baby face—not even the ability to walk or wear clothes well. It most have been a hn- uiiliatlng experience for the artists appearing In her atti>port. but then there is always that specl.sl reason why the legitimate player takes so ktmlly to pictnre*—“the fun ef the thing.”

Wo also aaw a world-famed picture beauty, whooe salary hat been dIacuMeil puMicly eO often that we can’t remember Just how many tbon- sands a week it amounts to, play a part that Nazlmova bad created for ns in the legitimate. The plctnre left but one inipresslon. and that was that It was criu'ln.s1 to waste anch ma¬ terial when it might have been saved for Na- ainaova herself, who is devoting no little of her time to the lens. It was one of those pictorial

Bams Mantle, lu welcoming Amelia Bingham back to the stage, said several nice things aboot her, but regretted that she still wslked as if her shoes bnrt her.

The Henry Miller Theater, which has Just been opened in Forty-third street. New York, Is a great Joy to people of taste and refinement. It la comfortable, cozy, accessible and quietly but richly fnmlslicd and decorated. Mr. Miller has assured us that never as long as he controls the boosa will It harbor a salaclons play. It will be hard work and take a long time to convince tho New York public that he is slnctwe, but once the newt gets tboroly dlssem1nate<l, thou¬ sands will rise up and call him, not blessed, but —a manly man.

The Man Who Stayed at Home is a rattling good melodrama and a very deserving one. It will do good work in the matter of waking America up, which it obviously its mission.

Albert Brown has a role that no actor on earth conid render convincing, but contrlvea, In spots, to prove that he could be capable if he had the chance. John L. Shine does the best work of the male cootlugent. altho John Bnrkcll and A. H. Tan Buren are by no means eclipsed, and J. easier West makes much of stingy bit of a porL

The Conference of American Lecturers reached

into the halls of Congress and stirred the wild beasts until the political arena resembled the

gory field of battle, with the firing squad do¬

ing a double shift. The Earl of Reading,' .Vmbassador from Great Britain, delivered the

most extended address that he has made since

he came here to represent Great Britain. His

sp«*ech was cabled to London in toto at the re¬

quest of l-ord Northcllff and wag given world¬ wide circulation. His appearance before the Conference of American Lecturers was a great

achievement.

Lionbomer Mlchallovltch, the Minister for Ser¬

bia, presented The Case of Serbia in a most touching and appealing address. He won all

hearts present.

The Case of Belgium was set forth by E. de

Cartier de Marcliienne, and hie earnest presenta¬ tion was a masterpiece of soulful pleading for

a righteous cause.

John Barrett, the din-ctor-gcueral of the Pan-

The Problem of F'ood was discussed by Ilei bert Hoover, bead of the United States Food

Administration. Mr, Hoover's address dealt with many problems which are not generally un- derstood thruout the country. Alonzo E. Taylor,

head of the DivUtun of Utilities and Research, United States F'ood Administration and member of the Inter-AIIled Conference, talked on "The

World's Food.” This proved to be an nn-

usually vital topic, and opened the eyes of

many present.

.At this point President Flowers announiv \

that the National Conference of American L<-c. turers would cost $1,000 more than was already

pledged by the seventy guarantors, each of whom bad guaranteed to underwTite the conferen-e to the amount of $o0 each. The $l,0iai

was quickly raised—$300 by flv* Individuals who gave $100 each.

Herbert -A. Emerson, expert in the ptoducUi>r and price of food, talked on Factors In Future Cs«ts and Prices. This proved to be a com.

prebenslve commercial survey of Internatioaal conditions.

William C. Re<lfleld, Recretsry of Commerce, opened the evening program with a discussion

of "The Problems ami Doties of Industry.” This

was a masterful oratloo that will read well. Philander P. Claxton, Unltwl States Com-

mlsstoner of E4lueatlon, op<'ned the F'rlday morn¬ ing session with an address on "How Fball We FMucste for the Denjocraev of the F'uture?" This

proved to be a masterful presrntath'U of tl.e e<tiii*stloDal demands of our day. Every srhnni

A New Effort To Synchronize the Eye and Ear

A Kew Field for Lroeam end Chautatt^na Artlata Just Openluf

Ijist a contract waa alftiod by William Sli-rllDg ISattla. the well-known Itlckt-na Imper- i...na(or, whose life work has been devoted to piirtraylnc the Immortal characters created by the great novelist, to act for the National Talk* loi Moving Picture Company.

He will art for the movies In presenting some of the characters which have had such a wide influence thru the Victor records made by this

artist. One of tbe great novelties promised Is the picturlalng of the Victor record. The Spirit of

*7«, by many considered the greatest talking record ever made. If you have never heard this record go to any Victor store and ask for The Spirit of ’76 and Paul Kevere’a Hide—two won¬ derfully clear, patriotic, soul atlrrlng ptecea of ^•<-'*•--•'■1 s"*! vocal art that will show you new

possibilities for the actor, elocutionist and the lu.. rs»ua,ur LuJ the maaic;aD.

The National Talking Moving Picture Com¬

pany it a Chicago organisation, capitalised at ]i.V>0.n0Q, and was organised for the purpose ),f mannfacturing and exhibiting, distributing and selling the little wonder machines by which a iMTfect synchronisation Is made possible between

a plionograpb and a moving picture film. Kight here Is where we realize that ninety-

nine and one-half out of a possible hundred of

our readers have lost Interest In what we are

here setting forth. ’Tor," say they to them¬ selves, “didn't rdison try this and fail?” Tep, he d <1. But listen. Bud; didn't the world laugh

at Prof. Langley when he tried bis heavler- tban-a.r machine? Didn't you yourself often recite a satire called I>arius Green and Ills Flying Machine? Honestly, now, wasn't Lang¬ ley and Darius synonyms In the minds of mil¬ lions when the Wright brothers set to work to put Langley's mechanical Ideas Into practical demonstration, from which was perfected tbe ma¬

chines upon which tbe Allies are depending to

win the world war? Edison did not succeed, but be did establish a

number of thln-s, all of which were basic prin¬ ciples. and It is npon these established funda¬ mentals that a number of Inventors hare diligently worked to perfect a practical talk¬ ing nsovlng picture.

For Instance, here la the first wioelcher fired at one who tries to describe all talking moving pictures: “What do you do If a foot of film or a yard or ten yards la rut out of your reel?”

That Is easy for this little rontrivance—with a sort of oratorical “unk” or muttered Jargon It

automatically skips as much space on tbe record as It does on the reel. The old family rat, no matter bow yon let her drop, by always lighting on her feet had nothing on this machine. It

always meets in aym'opatloa. Tbe writer visited a private exhibition of thla

new talking moving picture, and. being a ma¬ chinist by trade, was able to ask a few Intelli¬ gent questions covering a dozen just such prob¬ lems as the above, and each was demonstrated as having l>een practically solved. The operator works by the blo>'k signal system—bis red and green Il.Thta are bln Infallible guides.

It looks as tho a new step In the film world

la about to be taken by which the numerous patrons of tbe moving pictures would find added pleasure, greater profit and Increased physical

comfort. There are a great number of varying efforts

to Solve these problems, and we feel sure that before long tbe public will witness the complete demonstration of the practical value of the talk- lag moving picture.

entertainment Journals, and has the most uni¬ versal appeal of any paper or magazine that T have ever read. I read the ada and all.”

Hardly worth quoting, for publishers hear things like that every hour or so. but the thing

that makes it Impressive la that it was uttered by a high achnol boy in Purcell, Ok.—Joe Perry Crawford. .Vdd to the fact that he is an awk¬ ward, slightly overgrown product of that great State, bum and nurtured on the broad acres of hla father, an oldtime Texas cattleman, the following assets and you get a faint idea of the value of the boy's opinion: He la a hobbyist, who Is p<-rfectly sane, and numbers in bis collection of around-the-wor.d post cards some 24,000; he was a philatelist, and sold several fine collec¬ tions of stamps to other collectors; be la an

author, and h'.s broheure, Sex-Force, has had a

wide Bale; a student of psychology, mental science and a lot of other metaphysicallsms; he haa devoured whole libraries of books by such

thinkers at Huxley, Tyndall, Stead and a score of others; Karl Marx he knows by rote, and he ran tell more about NIetsebe than some of his cousins could—but. say. If you get the Idea

is the basis of treating such general disorders as beadaebe, goiter, eye trouble, nervous tension, lumbago, stomach trouble, hay fever, asthma, tonsilltla, roughs, colds, troubles with voice and

many other common disorders with which tbe human anatomy is constantly attacked.

A NEW BOOK ON HEALTH

Ttionaands, yes, hundreds of thonsaiids, die an- nnally here In America of diseases which are not only highly curable, but almost entirely pre¬ ventable. Right now the Government Is follow¬ ing England's example and has launched a sys¬ tematic campaign to save the lives of some of

the five luiDdml thousand babies who die annu¬ ally. moat of whom «'OUld be saved If steps are

taken to save them. Hralih I* fast becoming a gospel; It is being

prea<brd In the rhur<-h. Is taught In schools; even the newspapers and magazines are sending their specialists Into millions of receptive homes, where enlightened readers are now practicing not only the healing art. but teaching the science of right living to others. Theaters are now temples of knowledge, where even tbe children are taught tbe value of exercise, sane sleeping, healthful eating, how and what to wear In the mattrr of clothing. The dramatist la often the dispenser of sexology, and, we might say, be Is the revealer of the laws which govern life, disease and death.

There are two schools of medicine. The one bellevee that It hqlds the welfare of the race In the hollow of Its hand and that health and

rated a* a darning needle or a teaspoon are all that la needed to give thla system a thoro test. It's worth a triaL

Tbe chapters of this book appeared first in TTie Associated Sunday Magaxlnes and Every Week Magazine. The eminent editor and pub¬ licist, Bruce Barton, made a personal investiga¬ tion into the results of this system as it was being practiced by fifty physicians before he accepted It for publication. He made a per¬ sonal visit to Hartford, Conn., where Dr. Fitz¬ Gerald practices, unannounced, and spent a day In tbe doctor’s office studying the routine of this new system of healing and preventive treat¬ ment. Be then gave bis editorial endorsement to aone therapy, or tbe art of relieving pain by manipulating tbe nerves.

This hook has much that is of real value to all who are engaged as talkers, singers and other arts to which tbe nomadic life Is consecrated. That la why we have reviewed It as extensively as we have, for If It is worth anything It Is worth a great deal to lyceum, Chautauqua, and, in fact, all readers of The Billboard.

OVER THE TOP

One of the best services that The BIinHMld ran render Ita army of loyal readers is to direct them to timely and Informing publications and helpful literature. With this thought in mind

we wish to urge all who have not read Sergeant Arthur Guy Empey's ever-growlcg popular war story. Over the Top, to make baste to read It. It'a one of those rare books that give you Invalu¬ able Information of the very kind you want to know and the very kind you ran use.

To start with tbe author has that very rare facnlty of using tbe very tools with which be has always worked. If he wants to say damn be doesn't use tbe editorial dash (—). He em¬ ploys tbe language of tbe boys who do tbe fight¬ ing. He baa no literary style—he I* J'lst nstiira’- ly talking things over. He has another rare gift—tbst is, be can describe his own experi¬ ences without using up all the capital Is in the print shop. When be does make himself the hub you do not feel that the cause of tbe Allies would be all lost If be were to cease to play his part. He la not ao serious that he is repulsive.

Over the Top should be read to better understand tbe world as it Is today. It Is on sale at all bookstores and la a very cheap book at Its price— $1.50. If you have read it write ns a letter and tell ns wbat you think is its strength or weak¬ ness. We have no interest in the book, bnt feel

that tbe cause we have at heart will be ad¬ vanced a step every time another person reads Over the Top.

CONVENTION NOTES

Senator Robert 1. Owens’ address brongbt forth a half-colnmn editorial in Tbe Washington Post, while Congress gave an exhibition of a Bolshevik primary—fine contrast.

J. Nick Perrin, of Belleville, DL, followed tbe French High Commissioner, who spoke in English, with an eloquent outburst of Kankakee French, which brought down tbe bouse.

First run of a number of moving pictures were shown by tbe courtesy of tbe Bureau of Infor¬ mation.

Each reader of this sbonid go at once to the nearest public or school library and see that a copy of the Report of the Lecturers’ ConferSDce is procured at once.

N. C. Hanks, the sightless, handless entertain¬ er, represented Utah in the conference. This la the Interesting character recently written up by Edmund Vance Cooke and published in The American Magazine.

Tbe conference was flooded with lyceum maga¬ zines sent to tbe Hotel Washington by tbe alert circulation magazines, which saw a chance to coin the sentiment of the conference into snb- setiptions. President Flowers ordered the sam¬ ple copies sent back, and a loud wall went op that will be beard for months to come.

THE CASE OF EDITOR GRINGLE

With tbe bringing to tbe front of tbe conscloue- ness that tbe I. L. A. tolerated one as a member who was publishing mnoh that was obnoxious and In utter opposition to tbe purposes of tbe L L.

A. and the Government itself there was mnoh activity in official quarters—the I. L. A. official suspension of Mr. Urlngle was quickly followed by official action on tbe part of the Government offiolala—The Lyceum World, which magazine Mr. Gringle edited, was denied tbe privileges of the mall. The League of Public Defense of hla own State of Indiana refused to send a delegate to the speakers* conference so long as this pro- German editor was allowed to hold membership

In tbe L L. A. All of which shows tbe ntter folly of that great, organized, doctrinized bunch of craven cowards who claim that all la well— and because they piously pretend to poke their Ivory domes under the selfish sands of cowardice and pretense that they, ostricbllke, see no wrong. The 1. L. A. Is now paying a big iwnalty for not long ago taking a manly course—a brotherly course—when even Mr. Gringle might have been helped and aided to see tbe error of bis way or withdraw from the 1. L. A.

I Editorial Comment

New rulings made by the department completely change the comiilexlon of the admission tax not only for the theater manager, but for the ticket speculator and the tent show owner. In so far as the theater and tent show are concerned the new order will have lit¬ tle or no effect other than to compel those who have heretofore assumed the tax to go to a little extra trouble In making the tax collections, while It makes conditions far more equitable in those cases where competition found one theater—or one attraction—charging the tax w’hereas a rival house or sub¬ sequent attraction decided not to levy it on the patrons.

The new order as It applies to the speculator, however, is a horse of an entirely different color. The speculator must pay the regrular ten per cent tax upon purchasing his tickets from the theater and then he must charge his customer a tax on the price of the ticket plus the broker's margin. This means an extra tax of from 8 to 20 cents on speculators’ tickets. "Cut-rate” tickets, when sold to an agent who in¬ tends to hold them for resale, are taxed on the full value. Thus a |2 ticket sold to an agent for 75 cents is taxed 20 cents instead of 8 cents heretofore charged. All ticket brokers are com¬ pelled to register with the revenue office, keeping their books entirely open to the officials, under penalty of im¬ prisonment for violations of the order.

EVERY AMERICAN’S DUTY To work, economize and lend money to the Government is the

duty of every American.

Hundreds of thousands of our men have been called to arms and taken away from the productive forces of the country.

Hundreds of thousands of others have been diverted from producing things used in peace to producing things used in war.

In the face of this lessened productive force and production a great and unusual drain upon our resources is made by our Army anij Navy and our allies.

Work and speed up production to make up for the lessened production; economize in consumption to lessen as much as possi¬ ble the drain upon our resources; lend your money to your Gov¬ ernment to prosecute this war successfully and make our soldiers powerful, effective and victorious.

Every American can do an individual service to his country by working, saving and buying Liberty Bonds.

Another ruling of the Revenue De- Ipartment requires every person or or- I ganization who collects admissions subject to tax to register with the Col¬ lector of Internal Revenue. Traveling shows having fixed headquarters are required to register with the collector of the district in which their headquar¬ ters are located.

While the new rulings simplify mat¬ ters considerably, there are still many technical points to be observed in the collection of the tax and In the making of returns to the proper department. The Government will not permit ignorance of the law to be made an excuse *for any mistakes, and, in order that mis¬ takes be avoided, has published a book giving full and complete Instructions for collecting and paying the tax. This book can be obtained from J. M. Roper, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Washington, D. C. The price is 11.75.

The Internal Revenue Department last week took steps to eliminate a (N>n- lition existing in the levying of the war tax on tickets of admission which has been the cause of much confusion and one that has proven one of the worst features of the admission tax problem —the absorbing by the house or pro¬ duction proprietor of the tax, generally by increasing the admission sufficiently to cover the tax, or, as In many cases, to make a few cents additional profiL

worry.

DOUGLAS (WY.) FAIR EAST GEORGIA FAIR

To Assist in Food Production

Douglas, Wy., April 13.—Bigger and more •far- reaching in extent than any State fair beld In Wyoming will be the 1918 show hehl here Sep¬ tember 10-14, according to President John M. Flynn, Vice-President George II. t'roes. Treas¬ urer J. C. Shaw and Secreia^ Anson Hlghby, who compose the fair commission.

in the matter of assisting the nation in its I'rcducUon of food the fair commission has de¬ cided to plant a larger garden this year than It did in 1917. and aa soon as weather conditiona will permit a crop of garden stuffs will be plant^.

Secretary Hlghby la devoting a great deal of time seeking suitable attractions and aa- snres all that there will be something for every taste, with thrills galore. A contract has been signed with Messrs. Erdman and liainline whereby the fair management takes over the Princess and Douglas opera houses daring the week of the fair, and at both bouses there will be a program of vaudeville acts especially se¬ lected from the many that are booked.

PORTABLE STEEL BUILDINGS

Becoming More and More of Fixture at Fairs and Parks

New York, April 13.—The portable i>te*'l baihiing is destined tliia seaiion to enter more than ever into tbe busiiieea life of all parks and resorts where boildlngs must he of tbe sort that can easily be put up, readily eonrerted to rbanges an(k tiiat are attractive and pnctleal. Tbe steel building which is portable has long sinca passed tbe experimental stage. It Ins been tried out and has secured a foothold in mnny and varied locations, where It serves tunny imrposes. But now seems to be the time when the fair and park people have tx-gnn to recog niie the fact as never before that in t’le port¬ able steel building they have something that nothing else can offer them. The concess'.on men have come to understand that here is some¬ thing which Just suits tlieir nec-ls.

I This type of building is, in tiie first place, fireproof. It Is easily convertible from season to season. Its size can l« Increased by tbe aildition of a few new sections. When the bnlld- ings are bought for big dance hails or skating

I rinks and when the venture dues not prove profitable, the building is not a loss. It can be broken up into smaller buildings. It can be sold, stored away or utilized.

There is no depreciation in the buildings. As a matter of fact tbe buildings sold three or four years ago are worth more to«Iay than they were then. Tlie buildings fit a peculiar need of the concessioner. At fairs it is possible to make a quick change of location tu meet the moving tide of tbe public.

The buildings are suitable for stock, agri¬ culture or ony other fair purpose.j. • They are

. Just the thing for the shooting gallery or skee balL No nails or rivets are used and the bnild-

I ing can be taken down and erected without a ' particle of loss for nails or material. So slmp'e ; Is the construction that the ordinary typo of I nnskllled labor can do the work—all bnt the , building of the foundations. The big buildings ' are made clear span without any posts or with posts as wanted. One or tw-o men ran put up a very large building almost in the twinkling of sn eye. It is not necessary to sort the sec¬ tions out as they are made so that any section will fit right in. The windows are standardized to be of the same width as the sections, making them changeable with the sections anywhere.

Another feature of tbe buildings which at this particular time has an unusual appeal is the fact that they can be transported with economy. They pack in compact form so that there is no waste space. With all these facts to commend it. it is a safe prediction to say that tbe portable steel building is to become a fixture in park and fair life.

NOW KNOWN AS SANISCO CO.

The firm formerly known as the Sanitary Ice Cream Sandwich Co., of Milwaukee, Wis., now bears the name of the Sanisco Co. The reason for the change was the length of the former title, and as the company has the word Sanisco copyrighted the management decided to use It as a firm name. The Sanisco Co. has a new ice cream sandwich machine made of white porce¬ lain, perfectly insulated, and has the firm's new patented wafer feeding device attached, making the machine absolutely sanitary, as the oper¬ ator's bands do not touch the cream or wafers. The feeder works perfectly, never missing a wafer.

the week starting April 20, and in addition be has contracted two other weeks to follow in Akron, each being under a strong committee. Booked to follow Akron is the strongest auspices possible in Canton.

Akron, which bat been closed to cnrnlvala for three years, is without a doubt enjoying tbe most prosperous timea in its history, and as there it an enormona number of people employed within a few blocks of tbe aliow grounds tlie result should be a clean-up. Tbe third week in Akron Is downtown, within one block of tbe Post Office. The Children’s Playground Carnival is heavily billed, and there are various promotions under way, including a popularity contest, a homely man contest, a popular athlete contest and vari¬ ous children's contests, together with an auto¬ mobile rontesL Jewelry, Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps are among tbe prixea.

All of tbe new fronts of the Superior Shows are receiving their finishing touches, tbe etec- triclaits have finished their work and the whole effect is most pleasing. It would be advisable for all who are booked with the Superior to ship at once to Akron, as the show opens this coming Saturday (April 20).

Doc Murdock says that some year* ago when he was mau- ager of one of Col. Bigelow’s Klckapoo companies the CoL came on for an In- s;>ection one cold winter night, tak¬ ing his stand in the ticket hi>x. During the evening a farm¬ er, with his wife and four wmall children, drove up Jn a sleigh. When accosted at the door for his 10 cents, the admission charge, the farmer made strennotM oiij-'c'-itinx, claiming the Colonel had advertised a free show. Mr. Bigelow replle<l that the free show was fi>r the night before, and If the soli tiller desired to get In on this particular evening he would have to p.ny the admission. He wss willing enough to pay for himself and his Missus, but onierirl the kids back into the sleigh. Some few mlnut<’s after be had gone Inside (Vlonel Bigelow beckorcsl the kiddles and s* nt them in, too. Doc Murdock finishes this tale by say¬ ing ”1 didn’t know who was the happiest— the' kids or the Colonel.” We are tempted to ask. "Was this a ruse on the part of the farmer?”

Everybody reads, but too many read without any plan, and to no purpose. The college graduate is like other peojile In the need of system, but a little more likely to realize his need. The Chautauqua Heading Course is useful alike to the person of limited training, who labors many nights over each book, and the critic or vigorous man of affairs who can sweep thru them all In a few hours. For either a group of related, intelligible and competent studies leads to a well rounded result.

About This Season’s Successful New York Productions^ ^ ^

THE COPPERHEAD That The Copperhead, by Auffiiktua Thomas, Is a (treat and pronounced aueeess R>>es

without *ayin$r. Lionel Barrymore's handling of the title role would al-ms assure that, but Itnôpularity is due no less to the Intrinsic worth of the piece Itself.

And yet everybody that aees It la bitten with the Impression tbsg somethlug le amiss. Burns Mantle, of The New York Evening Mall, with mock naivete, says: “The correction of the drama that la constructively wiring is really a simple matter.

It Is merely a question of getting In touch with the right doctor. Taks the exse of The Copperhead, as an example. Everybody knows that aometblng la wrong with IL Every¬ body present knew Jt the opening nlgbL • •••••••

“Most of the experts in their next day reviews suggested that the play was not right, that It demanded an almost abnormal patience on the paat of the audience l>efore It reached Its one really big scene In the last act—the scene Into which young Mr. Barry¬ more, aided by the experienced Mr. Thomas, breathed the soul of Abraham Lincoln and thereby achieved the Individual emotional triumph of the theatrical year. S^-veral of them suggested, vaguely, aa is their custom, that they might be able to tell exactly what to do with it If they had the time and any one would liaten. Which no one ever wilL

• ••••••«

“The major weaknesa of The Copperhead, If you ask old Dr. Mantle, Is found in the second act. Good drama, without reference to the liner technique of playbiilldlng, must build steadily from Inception to conclusion. The diagrammatic curve of Interest must swing steadily upward to the logical climax and then slope gracefully t« a reasunahle and preferably a comfortable and plausible. If not a happy, ending.

“The (iTst act of The Copperhead, considered as popular drama, la a g<x>4 act. The story Is well started and there is a legitimate thrill at the sight of the Shanks boy marcblDg away to war at the curtain.

“But the minute the second act is started this Interest Is broken by wordy and lengthy references to the alleged murder with which the elder Shanks bss been charged and w-blch Is Greek to the listeners. There Is little to connect this episode with what has gone before and little created Interest In the incident Itself. Consequently the first half of the act does not bulk! and the last half, devoted to creating a new Interest In the death of the boy at the front and his reported cursing of his supposedly traitorous fsther, is bsif wasted thru Its failure to register. It la another of those scenes a fairs dear to the hearts of Brauder Matthews and Frederic Brunltlere, which are talked about, but no< shown. • •••••••

“Obviously, therefore, the correction t<* be effected it to make these scenes vltsl, and to connect them with the development of the first act—to combine dramatically and clearly the charge of murder and the arrest of Shanks with the return of the wounded, or dead, boy, and the dramatic recital of bis protest against pxrmltllng his suspx-ct<sl father ever to look upon his face again—a scene that would permit the collapse of the devngi-d wife and the planting of the delusion In the copperhead’s mind that hit secret compact with Uncoln must be kept forever locked In his heart, whatever the temptation may be later to reveal it.

“The break of forty years between tbo second and third acts Is In reasonable measure overcome by the splendid acting of Mr. Barrymore as the suddenly aged copperhead (the best acting, to my notion, that be does during the whole play, because of the suddeuDeaa of the contrast and the skill and delicacy and art with which It Is vlsuallied and polnte<l>. and the fourth act, by reason of the scene with Lincoln, plainly tbeatriral tho It is, takes care of Itself.

“The work to be done by Mr. Thomas, therefore. Is practically all with tha second act. And now, having settled the matter deflnitely, there Is no call for any one to yrrlte any more about It. Our sense of satisfaction and relief at being rid of It la positively thrlUlng.”

Despite Mr. Mantle's self-deprecation the suggestion he offers seems UDCommonly good and we at least would like very much to see the experiment tried.—WATCHE.

Slnbad, this seasi'n’s Winter Garden production, is the brlsrhtest and best of all the 1on)f list of Its predecessors. It sparkles and scintUlates amazingly. It has punch sod pepper to throw away. Novelty and surprlw permeate it thruout. Scenlcally It Is a reyelatloD. The costumes are dreams of beauty. And from a financial stand|>oint it Is the most successful the bouse has ever harbored.

Also—and mark ye—it is the cleanest. For a Winter Garden show it is remarkably so. It Is, in fact, a radical departure

from precedent by J. J. .Sbubert. And once more, mark ye, there is not a tame or a dull moment In it. and It Is the

biggest hit the Winter Garden has ever scored, so great that even during "Holy Wt-ek" It pia.ved to the largest receipts In the history of that institution, and crowds were turned away at every performance save three.

A1 Jolson is the bright particular star—featured indeed above the title—and he never went better, but. t(x), he Is the only offender with the ribald stuff. At least two eraeks. the Polly With a Past story and the -Albany 'Night Boat song, sbonid be eliminated, l>e- eanse, while undeniably funny and more coarse than dainty, they not only smln-h the pro¬ duction as a whole, but utterly ruin a most beautiful and tear-startlng recitation (Hello, Central, Give Me No Man’s Land) which he renders well along in the second act.

He Is entirely equal to the Uttle gem’s demands, but coming from lips Sfi lately so61ed with llmburger, the bouse, or at least a Urge percentage of It, Is strongly Inclined to resent It as a sort of profanism or impiety.

If AI Jolson is not our greatest low comedian he Is at least our most popular one at the present time. But be has gotten as far as he ran with the yellow stuff. If be wants to go on and higher he will have to drop it. A great artist does not have to res-jrt to it and will not.

J. C. Iluffmann. who staged Rinbad. has gained many new lanrels by his achievement, and Jack Mason, who arranged the musical numbers, and Art Director Wats m Barratt and Alexis Kosloff, responsible for the ballets, are also entitled to warm praise.

Of the cast Hazel Cox, who has finally achieved her ambition, a singing part, scon's a close second to the star, and Alexis Kosloff wins many plaudits. Lawrence D’Orsay has Uttle to do, but does that Uttle admirably.—W.ATCUE.

SUNDAY PICTURE BILL SEEMS A DEAD ISSUE

New York M. P. Men See Measure Sidetracked in Senate-Had Been Passed by Assembly-

New Legislation Governing Motion Picture Machine Operators

Albany, N. T., April 12.—After the Senate

Code* ^nunlttee had fiTorably reperted the

Soaday FUm BIU, whereby picture theaters would open or remain closed on that day, at the Option of commanities, Senator Thompson, on

Wednesday, made a motion to bar# the measure

moTed from the Kcneral orders calendar to third reading and final passage. Senator Eton B.

Browrn, BepnbUcan leader, blocked his plans by

ob)ectla( to the advancement of the bill, which

holds it fast In general orders, and there la little likelihood that any action will be taken

and that measure la dead, as this la the closing

week of the present session of the legislature. This action. It la reported, meets with the

approval of Governor Whitman, who preferred not to shoulder the responsibility of approving

or vetoing the qaestion of Sunday motion pic¬ ture performances.

Assemblyman Welsh's companion bill, which previonsly had passed in the Assembly, went

to the Senate Codes Committee, where It now remains.

Senator Thompson and Assemblyman Welsh have both put in mnch work in behalf of

tholt bllla, bending every effort to have them

favorably considered by the two legislative branches.

Motion picture men of the State are greatly disappointed over the final outcome of their

weeks of tireless labor. They had secured ap¬ proval of the Sunday option measure from

many civic and p<^itical bodies, noteworthy

among them being the New York State Con¬ ference of Mayors.

In ths Assembly it had met with success, and, with the favorable report of the Senate Codes

Committee supporting it, at least a safe ma¬

jority of votes In its favor was connted on.

The Asaemhiy on Tuesday passed Assembly-

man Edward J. Ylynn's bill requiring applies-

tloot for motion picture operators’ Ucenaes to be accompanied by an affidavit of a licensed operator

The Billboard wanta you to feel that thia page in your page, that thru it you can reach one another—your fellow exhibitora—for the interchange of ideaa and buainesa experience. The Billboard wanta you to make it interesting to one another, to make it reliable and beneficial to yourselves.

To this end The Billboard will appr'Mlate any matter which would be in- tereeting to your fellow exhibitors as well aa to motion picture producers.

Experiences with picture plays, the names of poor plays which have lost you money, titles of plays which have pleased your patrons, or of photoplays which were supposedly good and clean in the making, but without drawing or pleasing powers.

This is exceedingly interesting to all exhibitors and producers. It enables them to understand what style of screen plays are most in demand by the pub¬ lic—an essential feature for the exhibitor and producer. The Billboard is not dependent upon the few advertisers in the motion picture producing world for its revenue: its list of advertisers and its field of activity are more than twenty-five times greater than that of all the so-called motion picture trade journals; its subscription list is greater than that of all the motion picture trade Journals combined.

It is your logical medium for the interchange of ideae—^or information' end instruction. Its opinions are unfettered by anything the motion picture- producers, the band of State-right agents, film buyers, film representatives or speculators may say.

No journals in the motion picture industry dare aseume this independence —their very existence depends upon subservience to their masters.

Not Appeal to the Academy of Music Clientele

Facts refute press agent publicity, and tbe woful lack of patsonage at tbe Academy of Mu¬ sic, New York, where tbe spectacle, Cleopatra, la presented, demonstrates that salacious stories on tbe screen have met tbeir Waterloo! The public—the Invincible arbiter and censor—has shown its repugnance at this braxen display. 'Tis said that women's bands have rewritten the pages of history—beginning eons and eons ago— and today emancipated women have set their seal of disapproval on screen plays whose only appeal la to tbe sensualist and de<-a(fent.

Excitement leaps to fever neat as amazement follows sur¬ prise in the development of this plctoreaquely absorbing narrative, treating of the betrayal of trusting innot'enoe and nemesis that pursued tha despoiler, of the expiation of sin—and regenera¬ tion of an embittered nature thru a great awak¬ ening. Oil well derricks form a striking sil¬ houette against a lurid sky, and a torrential rainstorm adds realism to the desolation of the surroundings synchronized with the Western at¬

mosphere of the story. It Is from the vlewpoiat of human interest that this cinema drama will chiefly attract. Alfred Whitman portrayed con¬ vincingly the internal conflict wronght In the breast of a man grievously wronged.

Featuring Benjamin Cuapln in the character of Abraham Lincoln, these stirring screen stories possess edueational Talne, treating as they do of the most Important Incidents In the life* of the great emancipator. These renisrfcuble pic¬ tures hare an Instantaneous appeal to children, who are able to witness the tales enlled from their school books, and actnally see their be- loTed hero free the black man from the shackles of slarery. The Arst part of the series presents Lincoln In hit early yonth, when ns a rWer boat¬ man he combined work with an ineatiable desire for knowledge, pouring over what hoiks be could obtain, even begging oM newspapers, in order to

perfect his tai'cation. In this intimate manner is visualized the trials and tribulations, Oashes of humor, tears and thrills of the early lays of of our martyred President.

AN INFAMOUS ORATION (Contlaned from page 60)

Furthermore I am sorry yoo did not m Into food control three or four years ago, becanoe It would have been a happy thing tor me, for the reaono that while you were general manager your metboda were very arbitrary, and yon

yon, or come into your olHce. etc., etc. Mr. Parker—The bringing into New York of

a large sum of money in tbe hands of a feu will be tbe same as wr have had In tbe past by the advanced deposit system, and the fact that you propose to prodnee picture* and over¬ bid producers la the greatest argument against your plan. We want to get away from this juggling.

Mr. Seeley—Now look here, son, you’ve got a lot to learn; you’re a nice, bright young fellow; If I had yoo under my training for a few years I s'onld make a man of you, as I have other film exchange managers and salesmen.

Mr. Sieeley—When I am thru with one job I •l.wB.vs get a bigger one. When I sold Ingersoll Watches I went to a bigger job; and that’s the way 1 am g>lng thru life. I now am going into greater achievements. (Interruptions by Mr. Kembas<-h)—1 agree with you now that YOU have a BIG JOB.

But why go further? Mr. Seeley himaelf said that a man who can write or speak can¬ not figure, a man wbo can figure cannot speak. '!r. Seeley does everything. As one of tile ex¬ hibitors said: "Tbe womler of this plan, which makes It

complete. Is that one small mind doth bold so much con

Are You One of the Thousands? Are you one of the thousands who are daily having The Billboard’s

Mail Forwarding Service handle your mail? The Billboard’s Letter Departments forward nine out of ten letters

on the same day they are received. In fact, many of our clients are not put to the necessity of writing for their mail more than once or twice a season.

The letters advertised in this issue are hardly five per cent of those that pass thru our Cincinnati and ita affiliated branch offices.

SERVICE did it. Quick, thoro understanding by intelligent and dis¬ criminating mail clerks has resulted in practically nine-tenths of Ameri¬ ca’s theatrical entertainers using The Billboard as their permanent ad¬ dress. Others are being rapidly attracted.

It is unnecessary in writing for mail to use a self-addressed and stamped envelope—A POSTAL CARD WILL DO. Give your route far enough ahead to permit your mail to reach you. Write names of towns, dates and signature plainly.

LETTERS ARE HELD THIRTY DAYS ONLY,

after which, if no address has been obtained, they are sent to the Dead Letter O'fice. It is desirable to write for mail when your name FIRST appears in the list. Address your postal to “Mail Forwarding Service, The Billboard.”
