Xew York, May 19.—New York’s Oceanside playground was ofUcially opened yesterday when the famous Luna Park, in tl^e heart of Coney Isl¬ and, threw open its gates to admit the thousands who were waiting to obtain admission. It was a Jovial crowd. Tired business men and their families, storekeeper.-i, clerks, soldier.-*, sailors, factory workers and bankers all rubbed elbows and became children again. The general consensus of opinion was that Luna was better and grander than ever. A pretty blond girl hanging on to a soldier’s arm was heard to remark: "Ain’t our last evening together been a grand one?’*

’The "grand parade,” before the opening, left the park and traversed Surf avenue from one end to the other. It Included all of the employees of Luna, and with the circus cages, con¬ taining the wild animal.s.

Writing from .«!avann,ah, Ga., Charles Bernard, formerly secretary of the As¬ sociated Billposters, under d.tte of May IS. .«ays:

"I got some Inside information to- da> on a subject that might he ex¬ tremely interesting to rend,ers of The Billboard heeause it's in connection with outdoor advertising, which Is closely related to amusements and has at times In the past h< .i a news item of eonsequence to many of them.

"Well, It seems they are still Intact and very much alive.

For Richmond, Virginia

Chicago, .May 20.—-Tho It was orig¬ inally Intended to offer I/eave It to .lane for New York summer consump¬ tion at the Casino Theater, the pla> is showing such wonderful staying powers at the La Salle that New York theatergo«'rs will simply have to wall.

Richmond, Va.. May 18.—Two new theaters will rise In the heart of the “showshop district,” East Bread street, before the opening of the next regular theatrical season. Following the an¬ nouncement recently made by Jake Wells of his plan to build a 1300,000 house on the site of the Colonial, now a motion picture house. Carneal & Johnson, local architects, have Issued a statement to the effect that they have Just completed plans for a hand¬ some, modern theater, which is to be built on the site of the Bparks Restau¬ rant. The architects decline to di¬ vulge the Identity of the backers and promoters of the newest theatrical venture. Local theatrical men, how¬ ever, are confident that the new thea¬ ter is Intended to house the Marcus Loew attractions. The architect.**’ plans provide for a building to cost only $100,000, altho the frontage will be 100 feet, a lot adjoining the Sparks property on the west side having been taken In. The seating capacity will be 1,500, confined largely to the main floor. Above the orchestra floor will be a balcony, but no gallery.

•’Sometime.’’ a musical comedy, will be offered at the t’aslno. New York, this summer by Arthur Hammersteln. De Haven and Nice, dancers, have been engaged for the piece.

Detroit, Mich., May 20.—This will be an epoch-making year in local dra¬ matic history, for, with the expiration of B. C.

tions. E. D. Stair has operated the Lyceum Theater since 1895 and sur¬ renders the lease July 1.

Smallpox Epidemic

St. John. X. B., Fanada, May IS.— jst. John is In the Rrips of a .«erlou8 epidemic of smallpox, and recently at the re(|uest of the Board of Health a meetlnp wa.* held at which the theat¬ rical manapers of the city were in at¬ tendance. The co-operation of the manapers was asked to round up all the children to be vaccinated. With the approval of the partie-s concerned the followinp repulatlon was passed: •’That after May 18 no child under 15 years of ape shall be allowed to enter a theater in the city unless they can show a certificate of vaccination.”

Nothing in It

Xew York. May 17.—The reports circulated in some of the Xew York dailies that actors out of enpapements were to be classed as undesirables and loafers under the new anti-loaflnp law were denied the next day after over¬ tures had been made to the District .\ttorney. One of his representatives .stated that artists would be classed with students and school teachers who were takinp a summer vacation.

Auditorium at Kansas City

Xew York, May 18.—On the eve of the preat drive of the American Red Fro8.s the city is all apop. Bands are playinp, flap? are flyinp and parades are poin' to and fro. Floats are passinp each other along the gulches of upper Broatiway to Join the parades. In the distance the Scotch bagpipe and drum corp.s can be distinctly heard. With the varied colored uniforms of the Allied soldiers we can see forming a history making spectacle that causes the heart of the showman in this city to beat with ecstasy at the sight of so many of his arts and crafts being brought out in this mighty conclave that i

is to inspire wonder and admiration for the greatest mother to all human ' kind, the American Red Cross.

The headquarters of the Allied Theatrical and Motion Picture team in the Subway Central Building at Broadway and Forty-second street b* one of the busie.Ht places on this continent today, and w-ill be until the Red f'ross drive is over next .Saturday at midnight. This “team” is ag-ain going to .show the world that the women and men of the show world are “human" women and men in all that the term implies. The billing matter in the Times .Square district is wonderful, in all probability it is the most extravagant ever seen anywhere in the world. Many of the theaters and hotels have out sp*‘cial paper, .streamers and banners as well as paper completely covers every available inch of space. Strung along the structure used by the subway builders on Forty-second street, starting at Broadway, is a streamer a block long telling in bold hand painted letters what is expected of each individual in this Red Cross Week. P. T. Barnum, if he were alive, would gasp at the completeness of the advertising and billing matter.

• •••••

There are a number of daily papers in this city that seem to take an especial flelight in defaming the actor at every opportunity. Broadway was .startled the other morning when a “sheet" (for that Ls all it is) came out in glowing headlines in connection with the rmti-loafinp law news and called actors out of work ns “Jobless actors" and placed them in the same category with “hoboes," tango lizard*, “cadets." drug fiends, race horse bookmakers, idlers, slackers of all .sorts and other nonproducing and nonessential dregs of this city’s metropolitan life, .\fter all that the actor has done for humanity, too. The actor may need a self-starter, but he must not be classed with the nonserviceable. There is a class of pests and parasites in this city that claim they are actors when the hand of the law is laid upon them. They may be actors and bad ones, too. but they are not the actors upon the stage. They are not those that can find a haven in the Lambs’ Club, Actors’ Equity So¬ ciety, the Friars’ Flub, Xational Vaudeville Artists’ club rooms, the Theatrical Mechanics’ Association, or in the club rooms of the Showmen’s League of America, or in the homes of any of the other worthy organizations that stand sponsor for the good conduct and professional standing of women and men of the stage and show world. It is of this class that we must get rid. It might be well for those of the stage and show world in general to now and at once get membership in the various organizations that they may be recog¬ nized as having a home and a permanent address at w'hich places they can be given right and proper identification if occasion requires.

RUMBLING, NOT LOUD, BUT DEEP

The wave of deep resentment and burning indignation that is sweep¬ ing the vaudeartlsts of the country over what they term the high- handled, arbitrary and coercive methods of the powers that be of the N. V. A. in exacting compulsory support for that organization should convince the players beyond all doubt that labor unionism is a measure that is unworkable with actors and that it should never be invoked.

Funds for the maintenance of any organization are not only an in¬ dispensable, but an imperative, necessity.. They must be raised, and they must come out of the members of the organization.

Those charged with this duty by the X. V. A. were guiltv only of tactlessness and blundering. They threatened and blustered unduly and —that was all.

Had the X. V. A. been a labor union the members would have ex¬ perienced the "iron hand” in reality. Actually, if feeling was not so deep and widespread, it would be laughable, because labor unions, in their early years, are ever one-man ruled, and this ruler is alwavs an autocrat and a despot.

The artists who are again agitating appealing for A. F. of L support are urging actors to jump out of the frying pan into the fire.

That is folly.

Theater-Hotel

Chicago, May 20.—Western vaude¬ ville has entered upon its slumber period, which will remain undisturbed by anything like normal activity until late in August. Most of the agents are planning vacations, which a majority might as well take at once, so far as .my real need of their presence in their offices is concerned.

The talk that has been going around about •■summer” vaudeville i.s mostly bunk, eloquently revealed by the man¬ ner in which all the advance routes of the bigger circuits are becoming short¬ er and shorter every day. “Summer” v audeville is in reality a fervent pray¬ er fostered by trade papers depending upon this field alone, which, in the hope that some of the regular sea¬ son's advertising will be given, paint glowing pictures of the June, July and August vaudeville outlook. In plain English, summer is a period of vaude¬ ville inactivity, and is accepted as such by all save profiteering bunk artists, who in their own heart of hearts know that the only vaudeville really worth while during this period is that which is embraced in the field of out¬ door amusements.

From the agent's standpoint the real vaudeville activity at this time lies in placing acts which played in¬ door vaudeville theaters during the regular season with outdoor attrac¬ tions for the “off” season.

Some complete circuits (as witne.ss the Thielen Circuit) have switched policy to summer stock in the endeav¬ or to retain patronage that would not be accorded regular vaudeville at this time. The result is a great boom for summer stock, which is keeping the Chicago dramatic agents (like Harry Sheldon and A. Milo Bennett) mighty busy, these men already having had plenty to do planning repertoire ca.«t8 for tented organizations.

Most of the other regular vaudeville theaters are deserting to motion pic¬ tures for the summer. In .some bigger cities roof garden vaudeville is being

Ruby Dean Makes Good

New York, May 20.—The sensational hit scored by the Spanish Dancers from The L.an(l of Joy has been the talk of New York, and their enpaRement for a second week at America’s leading vaudeville temple was not at all sur- prislnR to those who had enjoyed this terpsichorean triumph. Interest was added to the return of Conroy and LeMaire by the announcement that these well-known artist.s are to part company after this week’s enpagement.

He runs the stage while the “play” is in progress, plays the orchestra, works the effects, etc., and all he does is ludicrous in the extreme.

LAST WEEK’S BEST VAUDEVILLE ACTS IN NEW YORK IDLE, THOUGHTLESS CHATTER

Fully at Reprehensible as ResI Pro German Propaganda—Arthur

Terry Has the Right Idea N. V. A. NEWS (HILLIAR’S SELECTIONS)

The Spanish Dancers from The Land of Joy offer one of the best acts that vaudeville fans have yet enjoyed. The color of the costumes, the effectiveneses of the different settings and the artistic charm of the prin¬ cipals have brought old Spain right to Broadway. Misses Doloretes and Manzuntinita are the personification of terpsichorean grace, while An¬ tonio Bilbao proves himself a rival of Mosconi. At the Palace Theater, Monday matinee.

Nan Halperin was the hit of the bill, and deservedly so. for ttiis artist misses no opportunity to put over the necessary punch in every¬ thing she does. Her ability to get her personality over the footlights is probably unsurpassed. She introduces a song “cycle” descriptive of ei.dsodcs in a young woman’s life. Her changes of wardrobe are accom¬ plished with a rapidity that would put some lightning change artists to shame. At the Colonial, Monday evening.

Williams Ebs has one of those distinct novelties that help to per¬ petuate the lure of vaudeville. He opens with what appears to be an ordinary ventriloquial offering, but which turns out to be very clever acting on the part of a small kid, made up to represent the stereotyped “dummy." In No. 2 position on the bill a very big hit. At the Paliice Theater, Monday matinee.

Josephine Victor, in Harold Brighouse’s play. Maid of France, proves her versatility by playing two characters—the flower girl as well as Joan of Arc. The' sketch is tense, patriotic and has a touch of comedy by Clifford Brooke, as an English Tommie. At the Palace Theater, Monday matinee.

Bert Kenney and Nobody, his imaginary assistant, convulsed every¬ one with laughter, and his songs were riotously successful. He received so much applause that he responded with many encores before the de¬ lighted audience would let him retire. At the Colonial Theater. Monday evening.

George McKay and Ottie Ardine. in a talking, dancing and singing novelty that proves them to be artists of big-time caliber. McKay is an extemporaneous comedian and an excellent dancer, while Miss Ardine ably assists. A delightful exposition of real vaudeville. Tuesday matinee, at the Royal Theater.

Edna Aug, with her well-known series of character impersonations, once again proved her cleverness as a single entertainer. In a difficult spot on the bill she did wonders and received much applause and bows galore. At the Riverside, Tuesday evening.

one artist could sing like Karl Jom, pantomime like Joe Jarkson. comede like A1 Jolson, fiddle like Herman Tlmberg, stay young like M' Intyre

and Heath, dance like George White, readte like

Julia Arthur, dress up like Jos. E. Howard,

raise money like Marshall McCarthy, and keep their name before the public like Eva Tanguay,

would the popular pastime of scrambling for

sufficient calories ever distn'ss that particular artist? Echo an8wers--Mebbe not. mebbe not.

THE CLASH OF AR.M.S The case of Louis Torcat, of Torcat's Roosters

wrong, but anyway he went out with Frost and Fansbaw'a Rep. Show, leaving |!>no a year for

$3 a week, to do "props'' and act, but prin¬

cipally to do “props.’’ Next he tried vaudeville at the Grand in St. Louia and barely escaped

with his life. Next he went to Chicago and

besieged Mr. Castle, of Kohl and Castle, for a

date. Mr. Castle said: “Young man. why do you bother me every day? Didn't 1 tell you

yesterday I waa all booked up for three

months?” “Ves,'* said George, “but how about

the week after that?” “How much do you

want?” said Mr. Castle. "Seventy-five,” said George. •'I'll give you thirty,” said Castle.

"Aceepted,” said George. A little later George played the Haymarket and was supposed to do eleven minutes, and every day there was a kick

at hla only doing “nine.” but he solved the

problem by singing hla songs to different time

and telling hla stories slower. Since then George has become a recognized act, with a style not

greatly unlike Ezra Kendall and a humor all

managers and agents, first in the field with a rooster act, they having

booked him some twelve years ago in their

houses. Mr. Knight baa been requested to send

to the N. A'. A. all data and proofs relative to

bis claim, viz.; that of being the first in the

field. The case will then be presented to the committee in charge for final decision. Joseph Small, owner of Five Young Americans, has

entered a complaint against Mrs. Lillian Rich¬

mond and A’iolct Richmond, the latter being a member of the act. Mr. Small states that with¬

out due notice, A'lolet Richmond left the act, breaking it up. A letter was found to the ef¬

fect that a member of Mrs. Lillian Richmond’s

act was to leave, and she wanted A'iolet Rich-

nsind to take the place. She was also informed

that upon receipt of a telegram she should leave for home. Telegram was signed by a

doctor. Mrs. Richmond has been informed If her letter to her daughter was authentic she has

been guilty of a grave practlco and that the

matter would be turned over to tbe A'. M. P. A.

She was also Informed that her daughter owes

Mr. Small two weeks’ salary in lieu of a uotlee.

The matter is still pending. Complaint has beeen

made by Dally Leon and Celia Weston to the

effect that they paid Edward Madden J.AO ad¬ vance royalty on a vaudeville act. which he was

supposed to write for them, but has not lived up to his promise up to the present time. Mr.

Madden has been informed to eommunlcate with

these ladles and deliver to them the act promised.

Mrs. Tim McMahon, of McMahon and Cbapelle,

complains against McMahon. Diamond and Chi- pelle owing to the similarity of title. Mrs.

McMahon states that the original name of this team was McMahon, Diamond and Cbaplow, the

change in title being made this season. Mrs. McMahon also complains that Jones and Green¬

lee are using tbe opening of their act, which consists of two people sitting on a suit ease and

quarreling. The Committee on Protected Ma¬ terial has written Jones and Greenlee to elimi¬

nate this opening from their act.

Awarded That Distinction by Sam Scribner and J. Herb Mack

New Tork, May Ifi.—J. Herbert Mack and Sam Scribner, as the cliief executives of tlie Columbia Amusement Co., eontrolliiig tlie des¬ tinies of tlie Columliin Burlesque Circuit, liave given many years of their time to tlie study of burlesque as a form of tlieatrU'al entertuinnient.

Therefore the aforesaid gentlemen are ipialified

by years of pr.actical experience to award tlie

coveted honor of the Columbia Tlieater summer show.

Individual producing managers holding fran¬

chises on the Columbia Buries,pie Circuit enterisl

into spirited competition for the privilege of

playing the Columbia for the coming summer sea¬ son. Their players, individually and collectively, did their utmost to make good.

The race started with more than thirty entries, with a large number touted by the Weisen-

heimers of burlesque as favorites and sure win¬ ners. On the home stretch there was a splendid

dash for professional and public approval, which the judges finally awarded to Joe Huxtig's Hello, |

America.

llurtig accepted his honors most modestly, likewise the congratulations of bis professional

competitors. Sharing these with the memluTs of his company he secured their wholehearted

co-operation, from principals down to the work¬ ing Btaff, everyone vleing with each other to make Hello, America, par excellence.

Time, lalior and money in plenty have been given to the production. Joe llurtig not only

stood the varioua expenses, but stood personal

supervisor over each and every detail until fully satisfied that lie had realised the ideal of his dreams—a patriotic burlesque musical review

superior to auytlilng ever offered to patrons of

burlesque. In his efforts llurtig w.as ably as¬

sisted by such specialists as Frank I.. Wake- fleJd and the two Sams, I-ewis and Dody, who are responsible for the book; Nat Osborne for the

music. Will H. Smith for the lyrii-s and -krthur Conrad for the musical niimtHTs.

The combined efforts of the foregoing artists hive given to the burlesque stage a presentation

Hut ranvassi-s of rantonmrnts and naval train¬ ing stations have revealed the sun>rlslnc fait that sailors and soldiers earr less for this kind

of song than any others. Their preferrm-e gis-s to simple hallvds and novelty numbers, of whh li

there have been extremely few on the .HM-n market. The lueky publishers who had these

novelty songs are surprised and gratifled to note that the Niys hare auppo.-ted them enthusi-

astleally. Krenuently the .SONiJ WOKI.I* EDITOH Is asked

by soldier and sailor friends to send mfiles of

i-urrent numtiers. and. In most Instanees, when definite songs are rei|ueste<l, they are lighter

novelty songs that have nothing to do with the war. In making general re«|uests some of our

heroes eonneeted with army and navy bands have askei] him to get hold of orehestrations

other than those of numbers built around the sob and heroir aspeets of the war.

It Is an open seeret that many big publishers are puzzirsi bei-ause of this development, some of

them even going so far as to resolve to resist the temptation to pul forth patrlotle songs.

They May Sound So to Some

People, But Classical

Compositions Are

More Similar

When I wrote hits they use<I to say: “That song that Rlank-blank wrote Is greatest that the world has seen." They'd rave about each note and swear the lyriea were so good that reams of I>oetry rould not compare in any way with songs composed by me. And long N'fore the songs were hits they'd make predictions grand about the many songs that I'd write with a master's hand, .tt least the.v told me to my face that ev'rything was great, predicted I'd get lasting fame anil for¬ tune sure as fate.

Of course, what they said to my face was not exactly what they chattereil when I didn't chance to be upon the spot. 1 learned from others how they took my songs and tried to see why most hits on the market were prepared by little me. They ripped my songs to pieces, while ad¬ mitting each a hit, hut said my reputation had a lot to do with it. While they knew that I had the stride, they said that other chaps. If given half the chance I had, would write big hits— perhaps.

I knew that fhc,v were hypocrites, in those past, happy days, still I was human and could stand an awful lot of praise. great inventor likes the praise of scientific men; old IMison is proud to hear, “His brain has scored again!" .\nd, after all, a chap who writes song hits Is much the same—'lis nice to hear kind words from other fellows In the game. I guess no little portion of my greatest writing Joys lay in the plaudits handed out by other writing buys.

But now that I've slowed down a bit their praise has slowed down, too: none of the writers act the way they always used to do. When I bring In a finished song they say; “That's pretty good, but. Blank-blank, if I wrote that song I'm sure, old pal. I would not use that kind of verse; that chorus isn't Just the thing. Tou know, old roan, you're out of touch with what they like to sing.” So fellows who were nothing when I won my victory now pose around like masters when they talk of songs to me.

I got mine while it lasted, and I'm not the kicking sort. I guess the reign of modem kings in all lines is quite short. In baseball no one team can cop the pennant ev'ry year. and. after months of smiling, there is bound to be a tear. I don't begrudge their Judgment and I know they may be right: the answer is, my songs no longer prove hits over night. But I'd give lots if I could get in these hard-going days a little—Just a little—of the wasted, oldtime praise.—

You often hear people say that all popular

songs sound alike to them. This docs not mean

that all popular songs are alike, but the fact ,

that many people who should Is- interested In popular music believe they are alike is a great

danger to the business eud of song promulgation.

As a matter of fact, classical compositions by

noted com|)oscrs are far more similar than are

popular songs. This is liccausc most of the Illustrious comisisers belonged to definite schools

of composing, each school Imposing so many

restrictions that composers with really original

conceptions frequently met with so much scorn

ful comment from the critics of their day that

their compositions met with little or no measure

of fame until long after they died. The or¬

chestral tricks of grand opera 'are so palpably similar and the phrase colorings of different

composes of note so much the same—and the temptations to write Bowing melodies (held in

contempt by high-class critics) are so pains¬

takingly restrained—that two comimsers of note

coloring the same tragic passage would treat the

music so much alike that there would be little difference in the completed passage. A great

many people imagine they are re8i>onding to a

fine comprehension of musical sense when they permit symphony orchestras to thrill them,

whereas, as a matter of fact, they are “falling

for" a form of musical reminiscence far more

.'bvious than that underlying popular songs.

Many people consider it an evidence of culture

to scorn iiopular songs, without regard to in¬

trinsic merit of definite compositions. To their mind the popular song is something for the

hurdy-gurdy or dance hall, but not for the con¬ templation of the trained mind. Yet, as a

matter of fact, the conditions governing com¬ positions and arrangements are strikingly similar

to those contolling operatic music. Broadly speaking, the publisher of a popular

song does With his material in a few weeks what the general public docs with classical music after many years. When all is said and

done, this is the chief difference between the

two forms. Tou may rest assured that that

part of a grand opera which newsboys whistle upon the streets is not the iwrtion which opera

potentates praised while the opera was still m w

—the chances Ijeing one hundred to one that it

is the part which critics condemned because it had too obvious and flowing a melody to satisfy

the higher musical taste of centuries ago.

^ It is because the publisher must almost mnr jjder his popular composition in order to make

|r the salaa record rapidly that most people of

intellect hold popular music in contempt. Intel¬ lectual folks pretend that they do not like to

have a composition banged into them until they find themselves humming it (tho this is pre¬

cisely what is done to them in the case of classics taught in conservatories, under the

guise of higher musical education). To show that much of the prejudice Is unfounded, take

a classic unfamiliar to a musical professor and

a popular song melody which he has never heard

I written along the same general form), place them before a master of musical composition

for iudgment and he is as likely to enthuse

uicr one as over the other.

Inasmuch as popular approval is the only real

criticism of popular songs Issued by establisbed

publishing houses, the temptation to use rem¬

iniscent strains is very strong, for such strains

are most readily gasped, resent day songs are far more a matter of superficial form and metri¬

cal swing than intrinsic melody anyhow, which

explains why so many popular music i-omposers

use old classics or old popular songs with slight

changes of meter and present them as original compositions.

Performers’ infiuence in the matter of popular

song forms has been pointed out repeatedly in theee columns. The performers' needs arc the song writers’ rules, which accounts for the fact

that a chorus is all Important while the verse

is of but little importance (because the chorus

SOLDIERS’ MUSIC PROBLEM

Firms Contemplate Issuing Spectal Editions for Boys in Service

The problem »t supplying music for soldiers and sailors In I'ncle Ham's service Is proving

acute for New York and Chicago publlslirrs. The drain on t!ie visible supply of professional

and regular copies Is enormous. Tim friends of

soldiers gladly pay for nearly everything sent to our boys at the front, sheet music Is looked n]>on as something to N- given away free. Nearly every attache of a music publishing bouse has

a chain of friends who want songs “for the

boys."

Publishers have cheerfully heeded all Red Cross and hospital pleas, but the point haa been reached where the Inroads on the regular work lugs of the business are so great tliat several In¬

fluential firms are considering Issuing some sort

of special editions to lie used by sailors and

soldiers--the prndu( t of which would be more serviceable than ordinary professional cojiles an-l

somewhat less elalMirate than regular market editions.

Shadowgraphy is closely allied to magic and

sleight-of-hand. In fact the practice of forming finger silhouettes is a wonderful training for the

Henry Miller's theater, in Forty-third street.

Newr York, Is without doubt the best exempll-

fi'-atlon of the modem playbouw! in America, if

n<'t in the world.

Accoustically well nigh perfect, not sriolarge

as to suggest the slightest hint of birniness nor

small enough to sacrifice or impair dignity of proportions. It Is richly but quietly decorated,

sumptuously but sedately furnished, and lietokens

rare, good taste, elegance and refinement in all of Its appointments.

Mr, Miller gives credit for this admirable

creation wholly to Paul R. Allen and Harry

Cheer Up, which recently closed Its run, will be

given in ita entirety at the Hippodrome, and be¬

sides its regular company many famoua Broad¬

way stare will appear in the cast. Among them

are Annette Kellermann, Raymond Hitchcock,

Around the Comer, the new Hobart Winslow

the first time at the Apollo Theater here la-t

Thnrsday evening.

Just Around the Corner, whose name seems t** come from soane source ss mysteriously as that

of German propaganda, is billed as a come-ly.

In the technical sense it is melodrama of a very mild type, treated In comedy form. Po

tentlally the story la quite dramatic and offer* at the same time t>o*sibllitle* for some g<s>d com

edy. Tb* Idea is similar to that used In The

FVirtune Hunter, and the play la well wrltt'-n

in spite of the fart that the characters have

been somewhat overdrawn. It might be called a "clever play,” and It doea provide a pleasant

evening’s entertainment, dne principally to the

personality of Miss Cahill *n<l the pleasant thing*

which It falls to her lot to express In her Inimi¬ table way.

Miss Cahill’s acting wa«. as nsnal, gsy, bright

sparkling and her Incessant chatter and filptian- y

YOUNG NAZARRO’S CONTRACT

Chicago. May 18.—The newest ncqnisition to

the Chicago workroom of the 8. W. W. R. is a

dressmakers* class, which meets every Tuesday

evening. Mrs. Frosolono is In charge, and at

the close of tbe meeting this week sixty tlnished

garments were turned over. These women are all employed during the day and their only time 1<>

help with war relief work Is during the even¬

ings, so the workroom Is thrown open to them

for one evening each week (Tuesday).

The youngest member of the dressmakers’ class

la eleven years old (a daughter of one of the

women), and this little lady turned out a com¬

pleted apron last Tnesilay that was the equal of any garment finished by tbe ladles. .<(he Is

a ere<)lt to the class.

Mrs. Youlin and her daughter. Miss Alma,

leave today f>^ their summer home In the coun¬ try. YDss Youlin has fifty-two sweaters to her

credit and she says she expects to keep on

knitting as long as there Is need fop knitted

things. Mrs. Y'oulin will be missed from the

surgical dressings table, as she has been an

Industrb'iis worker in this department. Mrs. E. R. Fifield’s surgical ilresslngn class,

which meets every Thursday evening In the work room, is turning nut some very nice wv'rk. Just

at present It is a problem to cut siifflclent ganze to keep the young ladies busy. The electric

cutting maclune, however, lu the expert hands

of Mrs. Flfleld or Mrs. Frosolono, l.s helping

solvo the problem very nli-ely.

Gertrude Haynes ITint has a enplsvard fall of

knitted articles ready for shipment In the early

fall. At the present time she has over one hundred sweaters, fifty pairs of soeka, wristlets,

rifle mitts, helmets and trench caps In untold

numbers. Last week she sent fifty pairs of socks directly to the trenches by one of tbe hoy* who Is returning to the front after a brief

fnrlongh. The girls of the Willie Collier Company are

faithful workers at headquarters. That they are full of enthusiasm for the cause Is proven by

the fact that they come early and stay late and

are willing to do anything that Is on hand to

do at the moment. A letter was iveeived at headquarter* Thurs¬

day from a sailor boy. who apparently has no

friend*, asking for a fountain pen and several other things that all boys like, and the girls of

the Willie Collier Company promptly volunteered

to take up a collection at their show that even¬ ing and see that the boy Is supplied with the various things mentioned in hi* letter.

BROWNELL-STORK OPEN AT DAYTON, 0.

Start Summer Season at Lyric

Theater—Clifford Stork and

Mabel Brownell i n

Leading Roles

Dajtoa, 0., Maj IS.—Tue Brownell-Stork Stork Company opened ita aeaaon bere at tbe

Lyric Theater lai<t Monday erening to the most select audience afforded any theatrical company since tbe Forbes-Robertson farewelL Mabel

Brownell and Clifford Stork, after closing a anc-

cessful engagement in the East, recruited and re¬ hearsed tbe company within a week. Cheating

Cheaters was tbe initial production, which was witnessed by the Messrs. Hurtig, who forecast

that tbe engagement will last until the beginning

of the regular season if the attendance is con¬ tinued.

The company consists of Mabel Brownell,

leading woman; Clifford Htork, leading man; (ieorge Btillwell, second man; Mary Moore, sec¬

ond woman; W. Olathe Miller, comedy; Flor¬ ence Gerald and C. Russell Sage, characters;

George M. Clark, Juveniles; Mary Ann Dentler,

Charles Kennedy, George McEntee, Benjamin A. James and James A. Bosbell. Bosbell acts as

director, assisted by McEntee. Tbe scenery is

painted by Serery Mabel Bnerr. The first performance was easily the best

stock offering ever seen in Dayton, the players working in perfect harmony. Miss Brownell is

natural and convincing in the part of Nan

Carey, and is mistress of herself at all times. Clifford Stork, as Tom Palmer, evidences much feeling, especially in tbe love scenes. A culti-

vated and bookish gentleman is George Stillwell,

and C. Bussell Sage makes an excellent char acter man. while Mr. Miller, as Steve, won favor hy bis ludicrous manners and inimitable drollery.

In a word, each artist played his or her part exceedingly well, and the exacting Dayton audi ences were well pleased. Not a seat was vacant at any of tbe urst week’s performances. Nothing

But tbe Truth is scheduled as next week's offer

ing.

THE CINDERELLA MAN

Offered at Keith’s Theater. Columbus. Ohio

Columbus, 0., May 18.—^The Cinderella Man was the offering of the Keith Stock Company

here during the past week. The prodnctl<» was well presented and drew average booses. Altbo

several points might have been brought out to

better advantage in the run of the piece, when one considers that it is being presented as a stock production tbe mention of defects seems

hardly in order, especially when in the hands

of a capable cast of players. The work of Jos. Be SStefsni, Alfred Cross, Emmet Shackleford, George Farren and Irving Lancaster deserves

special mention. While the better parts fall to

tbe masculine members tbe efforts of Maud Gil¬

bert stand out prominent as the beircse in tbe offering. Broadway Jones is the next production, for the week of iMay 10.

and favorable comment are to be considered a '

criterion tbe present engagement will till in a

large gap In theatrleaU in this city. One pro¬

duction each week at popular prices is the pol¬

icy and a long list of important plays are to be

presented by The Players daring tbe summer, w-hich will no doubt draw well, as this city is

hungry for something besides plctnres and vaude¬ ville. For next week Rich Man, Poor Man, ia announced.

everyone else to so something, adding:

to be asked, too.”

'The commands were given and soon little Anna convulsed the school with her fairy. Japanese and

Indian dances, all of which she had worked out ]

herself. And her contribution was a real one.

‘There is another angle to this many sided ac- ' tivlty which must be studied In connection with '

this work. It's the matter of discipline, or,

better still, government. The school Is under '

the system of student government. At present there is a Mayoress at the head of .he Council. This duty is now being performed by Marion K.

Smith, to whom we are Indebted for the facts about the recent Student Government IHnner. This splendid event was held Saturday evening. February 23. It was arrangt'd and given under the auspices of the Student Government As-

sociatioo, the Alumni and the Master Builders of the Tucker School of Expression. ‘The large

ballroom of the Hotel Winton was beautifully

decorated in the national colors, while the tables

displayed the colors of the various tssoclatioaa. Covers were laid for 150 guests. This waa not merely a "Vital Feast”—nay. nay. The menu

was in two parts, and after a ‘‘coff*e a bi all” there was a "Mental Feast.” which had been arranged by Mrs. Tucker. It set forth the fact that:

"The stars incline, but not compel.” which was the thought portrayed In the "all-star" pro¬ gram. The purpose was to carry the audience back to the time when Three Wise Men followed

the Star of Hope. The purpose being carried

down the ages until the Star of liestiny appeared

and closed with the Star of the Mystic.

The banquet picture is far more eloquent than words, hence we present it.

How did it happen that we visited this school and spent two such pleasant days? It was not by accident, for these things do not happen that way. Mrs. Tucker laid the matter of our

visit before the student body. They debated it

pro and con. They voted to undertake the task of entertaining a stranger. In two days they

, so completely wound about os the ties of nobility,

I kindliness and high ideals that we felt more

I like giving the achool a rbe<-k than we did of receiving one from the student body, who

I Onanced this as well as managed It. We would , like to go Into a more detailed review of the I individual efforts which merited our notice, but

time and space forbid.

The School Is animated by a high ideal, a . noble purpose, and these spontaneously generate I a spirit of enthusiasm and what the world calla 1 pep. To hear the alnging, the effect of the

I marching, the contagion of the fellowship waa

t an inspiration that would rejuvenate an Egyp¬ tian mummy.

Otevcland. O., haa the largest ad clnb in the :

world. To be privileged to be the speaker at <

one of its regular weekly gatherings is an honor

to any man. The writer is indebted to Mrs. '

Anna Moncure P. Tucker for this honor and '

pleasure.

But Interesting as the story of the Ad Club '

Is we must not try to give any detailed account of its history or of its present manifold activi¬ ties, for the real purpose we bad in visiting

Cleveland waa to atudy, first hand, the work of the Tncker School of Exprension. Anna Moncurc P. Tucker was the founder of this institution

and she is still Ita principal. This school is elegantly housed in the Metropolitan ‘Theater

Building at 5012 Euclid avenne. It was estab¬

lished in lOf©, and Is right now enjoying Itr greatest success as an institution.

Thursday morning. May 9, we landed in the beautiful Forest City. At nine o’clock we were

ushered into a classroom, where alxxit twenty-

Dve bright, studious young ladies hod gathered for a day of strenuous work, dovetailed here and there with periods of sportful pleasure and recre¬ ation.

Right there was where the ice was broken and the spring thaw set in. After a splendid period

of recitation—no, that’s not the word—for here is a school that does not use a text book of any

kind—after a period of practical demonstration

that each one had made her theme a part of her own being, there was a summing up of the work of the period and suggestions as to how to im¬

prove upon the work then being done.

We were privileged to unload a few of our own mental notions in a talk that set them ail to jnggllng a few questions, which long before

the terminal was reached we could see was agi¬ tating several members of the class.

Before we were aware of it the morning had

slipped away and we had actually been to school

a half day. Tlien followed a luncheon at the Hotel Winton.

where Mr. and Mrs. Tncker, their dangbter, Mrt. C. B. West, and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Deveney sat in at an informal, get-better-acquainted mental

banquet that made us forget the splendid dinner in the feast of greater pleasure which all en¬

joyed. Being a bureau manager Mr. Deveney owns

an antomoblle, so he took us for c sightseeing tone of the city. Returning to the school we

then met the children’s class and watched the little tots in their feats of agility and mental

poise. Another talk was here unwrapped and

a million (jnestions began to bombard those lit¬

tle minds when prudence dictated the wisdom

of a retreat.

At 7:80 we were back at achool where the and there we saw night classes were gathered,

earnestness and a grim determination to conquer

written on the faces of those men and women, boys and girls, most of whom had worked all day and had come to give over their evening to self-

help and self-improvement. We were shuttled about from classroom to classroom where we

witnessed the marvelous work that is being done for these out of school but hungry, eager, louging studenta.

A twenty-minute speech earlier in the”ev'ening

had germinated so many honest Inquiries for facta and proof of what we had in part re¬

vealed to them that it was 12:30 a.m.

To what per cent of those who attend high school does Information come at a reault of a dreary task, along with threats

of punlahment? No leaa an anthorlty than Her bert Spencer taya: "t'nieas children are led Into habita of Independent Inquiry they are unlikely

to be studenta In after years. Those to whom

information cornea In the natural forma, at the

proper tlmea. and who afterwards remember Its facts as not only Intereating In themaelvea. but

as the occasions of a long series of gratifying

succeseea, are likely to continue thru life that self-inatrurtlon commenced In youth.”

What are the boys and girls fitted for aa they I are taught today? How many of them are fitted

I to go forth to express tbemselvea In the world of living, pulsing, created thlngi? How many are

taught to inquire Into things, to do creative work? How many are stuffed with answers or coached to do stunts?

How many ran really and fully comprehend these mottoes whlrh we found banging in the

Tucker classrooms? “As a man tbinkrth In hit

heart, so la he.” ‘The other: "The workman

pastes, but hit work lives on.” What Is the prevailing enrae of the ednea-

tlonal Institutional world today? Isn’t it the ronerlous, studied effort to make of Umltb a race of Paderewskles; the tribe of Jones most be converted into a troupe of Sarah Bernhardts, and the people who might be taught bow to con verse are made to bellrve that with sufficient

pruning, sapolloing and hand polishing they will

be turned out fitted to step Into Mr. Bryan’s oratorlal shoes, with a lot c* snide purveyors

busy manufacturing Imita.ioas of footwear,

which are labeled for the young "Peerlesa" ones.

But here is a school proclaiming the fact that It la for persona desiring self-knowledge, self de¬

velopment and self-culture. It seta forth the fact that It Is a a<'hool for persons desiring preperatinn for the home, platform or bnalaeaa world; a school

for professional or nonprnfesaloaal people. Stud¬ ents are taught self knowledge, self reverence and

self-control—to apprsviate and value a healthy

organism with Its relation to anecess. It la probably not far from the truth to say that there are not In thIa wide world an equal ttora-

ber of students, with the age, experience and

who ronld show as much

when

the coo-coo clock gave the alarm that even then

and teachers streaks of gray were seen in east, and the lingering students wended their way out

where ail was into the streets of the big city, quiet.

At 9 a.m. Friday we started over the same round of talks, recitations, exhibitions, drills and exercises. This was followed by the luncheon at the Ad Club. In the evening a splendid gathering listened for an hour on How

To Make Service Pay, after which a number of features were presented by members of the

faculty and the student body.

‘Tlie Tucker S<’hool is but the prolonged shadow of the great soul who conceived it and who has given thirty years of her life to building, de¬ veloping and promoting its best Interests. The

school uses no text books, and studies the prin¬ ciples upon which the students work from life, nature and the Bible.

Tile students were neither honored nor flns- trated by our visit. They acted sanely, natural

and were all from Missouri until we proved to them that we were there to give and get, and

that our purpose was to aid them to a better understanding of the needs of the business and

amusement world. Once they saw that we had what they wanted they were free to give that

which we had to have. Even the halfgrown boys bad already learned the art of extracting. One little fellow backed us up into a corner and laid out bis plans on bow he conducts or has con¬

ducted a number of Juvenile advertising Journals, thereby opening the flood gates of our own ex¬ perience. for having handled about $40,000 in advertising campaigns we naturally bad learned

mneh in the school of experience, some of which

we were glad to pass onto this yonng student

OFF AGAIN, ON AGAIN We are no sooner thru with a Liberty Bond drive than a Thrift Stamp

Do we kick? Do we complain? Do we frown? Do we show a single sign of weakening?

NO! WE COME UP SMILING

and so we will again and again and again. For this is war. And we must save and give. Then we must save some more and give again. Especially must we save for and give to

RED CROSS Especially must we see to it that it is not how little, but how much

in this case. • So *‘On with the drive.’*

All Reports Indicate Enormous Receipts Wherever Weather Permits

THE WAGONS BULGE WITH COIN

Managers and Department Heads Alike Not Only Surprised, But Astounded at Receipts

New York, May 18.—Heports received from several circuses are so far very encourafinf. While the shows are fetting in late business is better, than ever. In fact, a prominent general agent is responsible for the statement that the managers are surprised at the way in which the railroads are handling their equipment, which is far better than was ever expected.

The one bad feature, which will be hard to overcome, is the fact that while the various

shows have plenty of laboring men they are not of the caliber of the oldtime circus working man, hence the extra delay in getting the show un¬ loaded on the lot and ready to open.

The performers have not been ciUled upon to do much so far this year in the tray of manual labor, but the majority of them are willing If necessary. With one of the big shows, however, they are loading and unloading their own trunks.

STILL A QUESTION BOSTOCK ANIMALS AT VENICE ST. LOUIS TENT AND AWNING CO.

1012 Marhat Street, - ST. LOUIS, Nothing Definite as to Barnum & Bailey Wintering in Baraboo

Lo* Angeles, May 16.—D. W. Callahan ha* Anally effected arrangements for the placing of the Frank C. Bo.tock trained wild beaala at Venice for the aeaHou. Tlie*e animal, have been at the David Hor.ley Htiidlo for aeveral montlia idle. Callahan hua .eenred the large building at the Venice Pier aliore end. and haa a force of carpenters at work remodeling. There are thlrty-Ove dens for the cat*, etc., and plai-e for the two bull*. AI*o he haa arranged for the exhibition, alongside the arena, for the Win.ton 8ea Lion, in a large tank.

The dens are to he a«‘t In a .cmlrtrcle, with the arena in the center and front. Heating ca¬ pacity for about TdO. There will tie a band and orchestra, and luime .mall lonce.nion. about tlie entrance. The ahow will open about June 1.

CallahiD ha. .eenred a force of capable trainer., who are working every day with the animals.

The show will be the feature at Venice thia season. 1). W. Callahan will act aa general manager.

Altho stories have appeared in some trade journals that the Barniim A Bailey Circus would go into winter quarter* with the Ringling Bros.’ Circus at Baraboo, Wis., at the termination of till, sea Min, on account of the quarters at Bridge¬ port, Conn., having been turned over to the Hawthorne Manufacturing Co., to do Government work, there is nothing deOnite as yet.

When asked whether the use of the quarters would be for the circus season only or would continue indefinitely, an offlcltl of the Hawthorne Company is quoted as saying: "We do not know ourselves yet. We will stay aa long as we can, certainly, and that will be Just as long a. the Government wants us to use the quarters. It is a matter for the Government to deidde. If the Government says we will stay, then we will stay there until the needs of the Government are filb-d.”

From other good authority The Billboard learns that there is no immediate danger of the Rar- num Hhow leaving Bridgeport, unle.s the Ring¬ ings are anxious to rid themselves of the Bridge¬ port lease, which is an old one that they took over when they bought the show from the Bailey estate, and which has several years yet to run.

It Is said the only use that the Mawtliorne .’’ompany is making of the quarters at present is for storing raw materials, using the trackage for unloading cars. Only the elephant and ring bams are being used, it I. further said.

A. at present equipped the quarters, except in the summer, could not be used for any but stor¬ ing purposes, for there is no heating system In- Htalled, the lights in most of the buildings are very poor, and there is no machinery in the building for maniifartiiring purposes.

The following excerpt Is from a letter written to The Billboard by a man whose name must be withheld, but who is an authority, a former showman and very friendly disposed toward showmen.

We trust carnival managers will read it very carefully, reflect upon It frequently, and heed the writing on the wall.

This is The Billboard’s last reference to the subject. We have done our best to save some men from their folly and received In return nothing but strictures and abuse:

"Editor The Billboard: “On receipt of your letter of April 22, with the attached letters from

various shows and previous letter, I took up the matter relative to the closing of shows with a friend of mine in Washington closely connected with the main folks and the Council of National Defense.

"I got a reply from him just as 1 expected, that no show which was clean as to its exhibitions, which means absolutely free from suggestion or immorality, need have any fear of sustaining any claim that they may have for the right to continue to do business and earn a living and travel."

There will be no sure-thing gambling tolerated, either. Shows are now being listed at Washington and offending ones will be dented the railroads.

CHARLES McDonald wa.<; in New York last week.

L. SCHLOSSBERG, manager of Circus Side- Show at Atlantic City, was In New York on biislDeea last week. He decries tbe unreliability of tbe average pit show freak or act. It Is too true.

TED METZ ha* Joined Finn's Overland Show* with bis pit show. Went from Pater8<>n to Waterbury, we bet. by auto truck. Many are traveling that way now, eii»eclally around New Y'ork.

AMONG THE LIVE ONES with the Williams Standard Shows are Joseph Dion, William Ham¬ ilton. Phil Ineer. A1 T. Holstein, Toto Sclgrlet. Samuel Cohen, (Tlifford B. Moffltt, Jack lAmpe, L. D. I>«Blaker, Carl Andoar. Nichols ami Adams. Robert L. Cix»k, Mrs. Robert I. Cook. Ellxabeth Buebler. Mr*. Clifford B. Moffltt, Ed¬ die Davis, Walter Ixjcher. A. H. Allen, Jack Greenspoon. H. Riigel, B. Merson, Phillip Coop, er. Farmer and Stern. Mrs. L. D, DeBlaket, Fred Danner, Mrs. Fred Danner, Harold De- Blaker. Wililam Hefferman. Tbe William* Standard Shows are well organized and attend striotlr to their own business. A plan many might top7 Kuccessfully.

HEBE IS AN ACTUAL HAPPENING: On tbe lot In Rut. ford. N. J., last week the night watchman stepped Into the offlee tent and asked Ralph Finney to give him a dollar to get shaved with. Finney eald: “A dollar.

an, where do you get shaved? If barbers in thlH town are getting a dollar for a shave I am going to I<>ok for a buyer for this •■arnlval and become a barber at once.” The man re¬ duced tbe price of shaves to forty cents, as he said he was sitre It would be that much. Tbe man was finally given the price of an ordinary scrape.

JOSEPH G. FERARI wants it known that he bought $.5.(X)0 worth of Liberty Loan Bonds at tbe Showmen’s Hospital Benefit held at tbe New Y’ork Hipfiodrome Sunday, April 21.

WILLIAMS STANDARD SHOWS have a flag pole at the entrance to their midway. Under the Stars and Stripes files tbe company’s Service Flag with twelve stars. Put up yours, show¬ men. as previously suggested and let It fly right in your entrance as tbe Williams Standard doe*.

EDDIE HAYES miys to tell all tbe showmen that their cookhouse on Sixth avenue. New York, haa been remodeled and ready to give

the-Ioop and leap-the-gap; Mae O'Laughlin, novelty tank diver; Captain S. hell, riding Hons; 0*<'ar V. Babcock, loop-the- loop and flying the flume; Great Calvert. Iilgb wire artist; Nervo, the buman comet, and Dare-Devil Schreyer, who ckuusl the show w.th hi* high flying bicycle dive Into a tank of water. It may be said for Schrejer that he held them all in and to their scat* until hls act was over. Bums O’Sullivan “acted” tbe last night as announcer, getting the acts’ attention In bis UMial *tyle. The amateur baby cycle sbute was not given. Captain H. Perry arranged some of tbe set*. A. M. Schreyer was the general dlre< tor assisted by Edmund W. Lyons. Shepard G. Barclay bandied tbe press ami Fxlward F. Wheaton looked after the advertielng. M. J, Sweeney handled the electrical effect* and Charles Hammer was the carpenter. There waa *iippo*cd to he a voting c.mtest for the cbamfilon dare devil. War Saving Stami>» wo-re boosted at every performance. Report of the second week to follow. This organization D"W plans a road tour to open somewhere in Jersey soon.

FAIR MEN. make yonr fair this fall tbe greatest In Its history. The country is back of you.

JOHN AI.EXANDER POLITT would make one of tbe beat managers of parks In this countr.r. He has had exposition experience of wide range that amply quallfles him to a degree. Hls natural talents and ability as a showman com¬ pletes tbe cycle as to fitness. Pack men, may we bear something about this tbe next time you are casting around for a man.

K. G. BARKOOT—There has been several Inquiries for you at the New York offlee of Tbe Billboard lately.

MIKE BARNES—Dm’t you think that you should give out a little news note now ami then about the F. M. Rame* .\gcncy, Inc.? The activities of a firm of hook<Ts so large would be interesting at this season of the year e*i>e- dally. Come on. Mike.

217-221 W. Madison St, CHICAGO, ILL WORTHAM & RICE CARAVAN tot special printing when ordered In 10-groea lota.

The Wortham A Rice Cararan spent Its sixth week of the season In Springfield, >fo., located on one of the finest lots to l>e found—the old White City grounds. The midway was laid out as only Walter Stanley can do It. The scene presented as the thousands of electric lights were turned on can hardly be described. Suffice it to say that it waa a beautiful sight, re¬ sembling a veritable fairlyland.

The Wortham A Rice Caravan was the first Ng show in Springfield this year and the people were show hungry. Altbo the midway covered a rery large epace of ground, it was crowded to ca¬ pacity at 8 o’clock Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday nights the crowd was so dense that it was almost impossible to move on the groimds.

At 6 o’clock Thorsdav evening a terrific cloud¬ burst and hailstorm (hail atones as big as hen’s eggs) struck the city. All of the tops and every¬ thing connected with the big enterprise being new, scarcely any damage waa done, not a stake palled, and at 8 o’clock, after the storm, there were over eighteen hundred people on the grounds.

Since the opening of the season the Wortham A Rice Shows have received numeroua compli¬ ments regardinf the cleanliness and fine tppear- ance of all the shows and attractions.

The company now has fourteen paid attractions and three great rldei. Scarcely any changes have been made since the opening.—E. A. WAR REN.

A. L. Spongier, Hutchinson, Kan., president of the Ameriran aAssocl- atk>n of Fairs and Expositions, has received assurance from the authori¬ ties at Washington that the Government will make use of the State fairs this year to strengthen sentiment in supjiort of the war by a series of exhibits. Because of conflicting dates five sejiarate circuits have been worked out and an exhibit prepared and sent out for each circuit.

The details have not yet been completed further than to decide that the exhibits will come from the war, navy and agricultural departments Those in charge of the plans have requested the various fair manage¬ ments to reserve about 9,000 square feet of space for these exhibits, which would indicate a projected display of no mean proportions and importance.—GREATER IOWA.

ZEIDMAN & POLLIE SHOWS

On the grounds opposite the t’ontinentel Mo¬ tors Plsnt, two blocks from the business center of the city, under the auspices of the Wood¬ men of the World. Zeldman A- Polite Shows opened at Muskegon, Mich., .Monday night. May 6, to real crowds. The grounds were a tnasa of people by 7:;i0, and shows and conccMlons enjoyed liberal patronage from the atart. The abows opened each day at 12 o’clock, and for the noon boor the rides and conceationa were kept busy by women and girls in bloomers and overalls, each doing their bit in the munition plants and machine shops. Mus¬ kegon was most enjoyably surprised st the liue- up and caliber of attracUons carried with the Zeldman 4 Pollle Shows, and the attendance each afternoon and night registered the grow¬ ing approval of the public. The Kentucky Belles Show and the Athletic Show vied with the Honeymoon Trail and the Snowy Sanitarium for first position. Doc Perkins’ Circus Blde- S*how drew well, and, what Is of more Impor¬ tance, pleased. The Whip, new In Muskegon, ran till late each night and the carry-us-all and Giant Elll wheel were likewise busy every night. All concessions were well satisfied with the treatment accorded them. —BENNETT STEVENS.

J. W. KLEIN’S RECORD

Imagine a concession store giving out Isfi.OOO flowers In a season. It’s the gospel truth, too. J. W. Klein, inventor of "the store In a trunk." ran up to the fhlcwgo Billyboy office to say hello, and, had be not showed us a fat bunch of canceled checks for hundreds of dollars as evi¬ dence. It would have been hard to believe. Klein gave away the ISfi.OOO ent flowers last season with a ball game, and, after seeing a photo of hla store decorated with thousands of flowers, one wouldn't doubt for a moment that such a conces¬ sion Is a sure money getter. The flash was wonderful.

THE ECONOMY OF VICTORY

Xo matter what this war costs the Oovernment and the people of the United States in the way of money, it is going to be much cheaper to win this war than to lose it.

The commercial and financial losses that would follow a German victory are not to be calculated. All that we spent wou.d be lost, in¬ demnities beyond calculation would have to be paid, and along with these losses would come a continuing loss in foreign commerce that would spell disaster.

With these material losses we would lose our national liberty and independence, our power to secure our international rights, our right to live in a world ruled by the dictates of humanity and civilization.

The Billboard is independent—not in that old and outworn sense of the term, that is to say, not self-sufficient, not trouble-seeking, not

truculent, but—uns'ubsidized and free from all alliances with any factions

within the business.

It is different from other weeklies in that it favors no particular

branch of the business, supports no favorite cliques, is committed to no propaganda for new and revolutionary movements or Ideas, and holds no

brief for special Interests that control large advertising contracts.

We are Jealous sticklers for our right to print all the news, but none

is readier than The Billboard to forego that right w^hen publication is liable to hurt some one person grievously without benefiting our

readers materially.

We stand for the best traditions of the profession, and by best we

mean the older, time-tested and oft-tried, but we keep an open mind for

innovations and new thought.

Within our province we watch tendencies vigilantly, and when they are evil and growing worse at a rate that threatens the welfare of any branch of the profession we cry out in warning. If that does not suffice

we resort to almost any means that promises to abate the menace—

except Invoking outside aid or Influence.

that brings performers and independent managers to¬ gether. It is your booking agent, and works absolutely without cost, excepting the time spent in sending the proper data to insure the theater being listed in these columns. The Billboard keeps the list as nearly correct as it is possible to do, and performers and managers are requested to send in corrections as occasions arise. Forty-one of the United States are represented in this list at present, and four of the Canadian provinces. Your aid in adding new houses to the list, and in keeping it corrected up to date, will be appreciated. It is of ines¬ timable value to all concerned.

AbQut T)iis Season's Successful New York Productions

A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE

It is peculiarly pralifyinfr to be able to commend Henry Miller’s revival of A Marriagre of Convenience. The production is the beet and most refrcRhinB thing that has been done In New York this season.

Whoever takes pleasure in sound and capable dramaturgic crafts¬ manship. in the finer phases and suhtleties of the art of acting, in a loving and reverent regard for the nicer and higher traditions of the stage, in the dainty and exquisite ixisaibillties of the costume pl:iy. and in handsome, dignified stage setting, is sure of an evening of umilloyed delight at the Henry Miller Theater these days.

Mr. Miller, tho credited with a long and well-deserved list of tri¬ umphs. has never appeared to better advantage. He exhibits a keen, penetrating insight and a thoro understanding of his role, which denotes most careful study, and this, together with his artistry, invests it with an interest and importance which makes this production of the play differ notably from its predecessors—renders it almost a new version, in fact.

Billie Burke, wee, winsome and Watteaullke, proves fetching and fascinating Indeed, and imparts the high lights to many a scene which competent, capable and finished Lucile Watson is entrusted with the more difficult and exacting task of complementing and completing.

Lowell Sherman, too, realizes many little possibilities heretofore unsuspected in the role of Chevalier de Valclos, and succeeds in empha¬ sizing that character’s petty baseness and false pretense, much to the adNTintage of the presentation.

The sterling actor, Frank Kemble Cooper, has few opportunities, but makes so much of those he has that one can not but commend the wisdom of casting him for the part. Tho but a minor role, in other hands it might have marred instead of materially perfecting a singularly even, smooth, well-balanced and wholly admirable performance.

Mr. Miller’s first offering in his new theater was excellent. If you saw The Fountain of Youth you know it. If not let no one convince you to the contrary.

But this one is better. It is in fact a distinct achievement—WATCHE.

Have You Left School ? With a diploma or without it? In either case you of course do not Vi»h to leave oft being educated. When education ends life ends.

Take a Reading Course Everj’body reads, but too many read without any plan, and to no purpose. The college graduate is like other people in the need of

system, but a little more likely to realize his need. The Chautauqua Reading 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 welt rounded result.

Don’t Read at Random For many years the very mention of a reading course has meant without further explanation the Chautauqua Reading Course. It was the first and is still the best, and it alone has a worldwide

fame. The cost is trifling. $6 for a year. Are you tired wasting your

odd minutes? Write us. stating that you saw this ad in The Billboard, and we will send full free synopsis.

WILLIAM FOX

The selection of William Fox to head the Allied Theatrical and Motion Picture Team for the current Red Cross drive is an admirable one.

He is a driver. In a drive much depends upon the drivers. Mr. Fox’s forcefulness, his genius for organization, his resourceful*

ness and his determination make of him a man among men for the position to which he has been called.

He has had experience in former drives. He knows how to handle parsimony and overcome reluctance. We confidently predict that the producing motion picture corpora¬

tions will make a decent showing in contributions to the Red Cross this time.

Mr. Fox will twist coin out of them if he has to, and the chances are that he will.

But he will make them stand and deliver. Watch and see.

What wouldn't we give to enlist Mr. Fox in a drive for clean pictures ? IWhat a force for good he would prove! What a boon to the business!

LOS ANGELES NOTES

there have been comparatively few real sunshiny

days so that tbe atudPsi could get In full time. But fireparations have been made for a lot of

of tbe various studios have been cut down until some ore not onc-half aa large at last season.

EXHIBITORS The Billboard wanta you to feel that thia page ia your page, that thru it

you can reach one another—your fellow exhibitora—for the interchange of ideaa and bueineaa experience. The Billboard wanta you to make it intereating to one another, to make it reliable and beneficial to youraelvea.

To thia end The Billboard will appreciate any matter which would be in* tereating to your fellow exhibitora aa well aa to motion picture producera.

Expariencea with picture playa, the namea of poor playa which have loat you money, titlea of playa which have pleaaed your patrona, or of photoplaya which were auppoaedly good and clean in the making, but without drawing or pleaaing powera.

Thia ia exceedingly intereating to all exhibitora and producera. It anablea them to underatand what atyle of acrean playa are moat in demand by the pub¬ lic—an eaaential feature for the exhibitor and producer. The Billboard ia not dependent upon the few advertiaera in the motion picture producing world for ita revenue; ita liat of advertiaera and ita field of activity are more than twenty-five timea greater than that of all the ao*called motion picture trade journala; ita aubacription liat ia greater than that of all the motion picture trade journala combined.

It ia your logical medium for the interchange of ideaa—for information' and matruction. Ita opiniona are unfettered by anything the motion picture- producera, the band of 8tata>right agenta, film buyora, film repreaentativea or apaculatora may aay.

No journala in the motion picture induatry dare aaaume thia independence _their very exiatence dependa upon aubaervience to their maatera.

A STUNNING AND DISAGREEABLE SURPRISE

THE GOLDEN GOAL

(Vitagraph—FIVE-REEL—Blue Ribbon Feature, starring Harry Morey. Directed by Paul

Scardon)

THIS IS A BIG worthwhile photoplay and

k The Boston Theater, Bo.ston, the larirest anil ore of the best paying ► combination houses in that city, booked and presented last week The I Hisky Koad. The Boston Theater, operated by the B. Keith interests. I under the management of Charlie Harris, has never before lowered the 4 standard of the theater by presenting: an unclean film; it has always pre- Isented to its patrons nothing but clean, wholesome pictures, and, in pre¬

senting The Risky Road to the class of patrons that are in the habit of visiting the Boston Theater, the management has not only offended, hut probably driven away many of its regular patrons, and as a result the reputation of that house has been lowered. No exhibitor playing to a regular class of patrons should take the chance of hurting the good repu¬ tation of his house by presenting a film of this class, one that Is not fit for the decent niind and is a disgrace to present to women and children. Dorothy Phillips, who plays the part of the girl in the story, has a large following in Boston and many will be' surprised to find that she has lent her services to a feature of this brand. In the future when her name is brought to mind it will be linked with the thoughts of the many un¬ clean scenes witnessed in the film, and her prestige will fall accordingly.

♦ That is one thing that has caused the great popularity of Mary Pickford. 4 She gives the questionable photoplays a wide berth, always appearing in ? good, clean pictures, and will hold the millions of her friends as long as

Sidney Garrett, president of the J. Frank Brorkliss, Inc., in an Interview given two week,

ago, prophesied that the British Governmeni

woulA place an embargo on all merchandise not

neejed for Government suppliea.

.Manufacturers will probably now seen thr

handwriting on the wall. They should now

realize that co-operation Is necessary.

The question arises in being patriotic. "1

admit." says Mr. Garrett, ’'tliat it is a potriotte

motive on the part of manufacturers to allow

duidng privileges. Not only is it patriotic, but

It shows the friendliness ami harmonious rela¬

tions that must exist Is-tween the punhasee,

the manufacturer and the exploiter. If the peo¬

ple who are taking .•.merlcan merchandisA are

allied and are in with the allied cause can not

be trusted to handle the thing in a proper man

ner—that is. by guarding and safeguarding the

menhandise that is being sent to them—then

they are not people Atteil to be associated with

in this allied cause for demm-racy.

‘‘I still believe, altho at the present moment

I seem to be alnnc in my belief, that the .Ameri¬

can manufacturer must allow these purchases and allow the people who are fighting ahooldei

to aboulder to make money in the exploitation

of American merchandise.

"Foreign conditions have made It so that

foreign buyers are forced to ask for duping

privileges. It Is distinctly understood that the people w<>nld naturally prefer prints originally

drawn from the negative, but If there is no other

means of getting prints over and the coat ot getting over stops foreign exploiters from mak-

ing money and the country In general desires te

see American pictures. It shows the patriotism

on the part of these various exploiters that they

are quite willing to take duped prints and ex¬

ploit them so as to give amusement to the peo¬

ple in the zone."

IS SUNDAY RECREATION WRONG?

THE REVEREND CHARLE.S STEI-ZI-E, a re ligious Worker, who has been very successful ir nclamation work, eiiiresses in a enneiae man ner the attitude of THE BILLBO.ARD in ad

Tocating moving picture exhibitions on Sunday

that we are quoting excerpts from an e<litorial

of THE COLUMBIA RECORD, COLUMBIA, S

O., the greater part of the article having beet written by MR. STELZLE:

"Sunday Is a day of recreation—a day whet the physical, mental and spiritual faculties neec

to be recreated. Whatever stirs in man the best emotions without hurting anybody else must bt

legitimate on Sunday. One of the big qnestiont

is that of Sunday Movies. In what respect da

Snnday movies hurt a man? They hurt him wbeo

the pictures are B.AD. For some people seeing a

movie show oa Sunday is Jnst as beneficial a.'

eating a meal—indeed some people get mere

benefit ont of a HIGH GRADE MOTION PIC

TURB than others get out of a Sunday dinner—

frankly, I have seen motion pictures which had as fine a moral effect as most OHDROII SERV¬

ICES I have attended.”

It is a lot better to hare vrorklng pe<vple go off for a Sunday exenrsion on a hot afternoon

than to have them sweating and swearing at

home because of the irritations which their sur¬ roundings develop.”

.And The Billboard would like to add that a dime spent in a movie theater offering clean

pictnzas is a much better place for the tired,

overwronght bonsewife and fretful children than remaining in foulsmelling tenements, a men¬

ace to health and morals. .Above all Sunday is

the working man’s only day of respite, and

witnessing scenes of youthful Joys, of scenic

grandeur, of comic sitnations serve as mental

tonbw to send him back to his weekly toll bsp- pier and better for having his mind diverted and uplifted. By all means allow the working people

the chance to enjoy Sunday naorles.

The Most Startlingly Sensational Screen Picture of South Sea Island Inhabitants To Be Shown on Broadway Will Cause Intense Amazement and

for the benefit of the medical profession and

LAEMMLE IN THE NORTHWEST GOVERNMENT FILMS

Seattle, May 10.—Carl Ijiemmle, head of the

I'nlversal Film Corporation, arrived here to<l*y

to get In closer touch with Northwestern ex¬ hibitors.

Free From War Tax Islands, caused a gasp of astonishment from a party of

about fifty invited guests—mostly soi-lal friends of Martin Johnson and bis young wife.

This extraordinary showing—the like of which

ha* never been flashed on screen—is entitled

ISLES OF SOl’TH PACIFIC, and is exploited by the Martin Johnson Film Company. These

pictures were shown In their unfinished state,

minus subtitles, but Mr. Johnson enlivened each

reel with witty description of the habit* and characteristics of the natives that evoked gales

of laughter from the invited guests. Accom¬

panied by Mrs. Johnson, this intrepid explorer ventured into the regions where the foot of white man never trod.

.It was in the small schooner, “The Snark.’’

owned by the late Jack London, that Mr. John¬

son visited the Islands for the first time. The lure of their wild l<eauty brought him back to

secure the pictures, which are destined to fasci¬

nate even the most indifferent observer. The very acme of perfection 1* the praise

which can be accorded to the beautiful camera

work, and scenes of tropical luxuriance eclipse

any photoplay ever shown in this country. This assertion Is justified by the overwhelming splen¬

dor of (oral reefs, co<'oanut groves, brilliant

sunsets, fleecy clouds, limpid, shimmering waters

that lure the senses with the languid atmos¬ phere of an enchanted Isle. These s<-enes rea<ti

a degree of natural l>eauty never surpassed, and

it is hard to believe that they aro only reflections of the photographic lens.

But it is the black, repulsive-looking savages

of these far off Islands that attract the deepest interest. These primitive savages, to whom

nudity brought no embarrassment, are a repul¬

sive looking lot of man-eating cannibals. Pretty Mrs. Johnson unfortunately attracted the Chief’s

admiration and was only saved by the quica

wit of her husband, whose healthy physique had

sentenced lilm to the roasting pan, and the

timely arrival of a British man-of-war. On these luxurious Islands oysters are picked

off the trees, which have developed on the branches during low tide, tho the princlp.il diet

is coi'oanut, supplemented with other fruits, and fish.

Despite their primitive instincts, vanity is a failing with these black giants, and it is a comical sight to see an ebony Hercules stalking

majestically to the Mission Church with a pair of suspenders hanging limply over bis bare

body. A hat or vest is another article which appeals strongly to their imagination. They

will carry a huge water bottle, made of bamboo,

many miles in exchange for a stick of tobacco. I Mr. Johnson took ten bolts of calico to the

Island, which partly dressed two thousand na¬

tives, making them presentable to pose before a <'amera.

But the tribes are divided in districts, and n<it all are of the cannibalistic type, many of

I the natives being very kind to the visitors.

Tho New York office of the Committee on

Public Information, Division of Hlms, received last week from Washington an official ruling to

^the effect that there shall not be any war tax

charged on tickets of admission to theaters

where there is shown exclusively any Govern¬ ment film. This immediately affect* the various

organizations now touring with the first of the

official War Films, and applies particularly to

the showing of Pershing’* Crusaders.

"How about the vampire type of woman?” "Vampirism has seen its day. It had a short,

hope to sarvive the outcry of condemnation which met the appearance of the vulgar, half-

drat>ed, disgusting female. There could be no lasting value la such plctnrixation, for suc¬

cess must he built upon a solid foundation.

Clean productions have vindicated that fact; they

still survive, as note the success of the produc¬

It was further suggested that in England It had been learned by exi>erlcnce that It was best to give the public an opportunity to enjoy entertainments, especially those of a lighter vein, from time to time, that the morale of tha country might be sustained.

The National Defense Council merely specifies that showe must be clean and honestly conduct¬ ed. Members aver that this will be rigidly In¬ sisted upon, but also assure showmen that this Is the only condition they have to meet.

JUDGE NOT By Doc Waddell

I give yon tribute of one who was known to all showfolk—rERC^ C. MELROSE. He ^ sleeps the sleep that knows no waking. Ills end was sudden. It eame the day before < Hlnglings’ Show. At his home, as was liis eustom. he was to entertain a party of its ' performers. He breathed his last, I might say, with the echoes of arena and midair, the ' last sounds that fell upon bis ear. His last words, it may he recorded, were a note that^ showed Mb good thought for w-ife and ehildren. 1 knew liim long and well. He for yearsV was a eirena performer, and with his wife and family did high wire feats. Retiring from circus life be engaged in the patent metlicine business, and his sales, especially abroad, were tremendous. Al G. Field, when a circus clown, started him along the way that made him his osm boss and employer. There never was a mure honorable man as to paying debts and doing the right as be would see it. Every mistake he made I give to air to blow away. Every virtue he possessed I keep and treasure. The show-folks' sympathy goes out to the widow in her Iwreavement. May God give her the strength and guidance so essential in looking after, caring for and bringing up the children (sweeter never lived) that remain.

We notice a little announcement going thru the regular chanD"lh of this week’s iaaue which concern* one of the real promoters in outdoor activity. We refer to the ad of J. A.

Mr. Darnahy baa high ideals and untiring energy, two of the qualities tliat make for jwrmanent success.

The war has changed conditions and In no field has it been nswe keenly felt than In the oiitihstr amusement world. To meet the rhange<l conditions is the work of a keen observer. We have watched the plans develop of thin pro- milter and have felt that be is Just a little aliesd of the tirade. The hand wagon for the newer form of outdoor pageantry and industrial iiniimdion Is only lieard in the dlstanc*-. but It is beaded this way.

Pear Friend All—Listen! I aaked you eereral weeks ago abont this ••clean up" atuff this aea- non. and you never answered me. Now 1 want to know. I see where you mention In the col¬ umn about the army men giving some one a shake in Phllly—that the fixing done with the constable didn't protect and that they could not sduare It when the I'. S. boys stepped In. Then In another paragraph you say the shows have all cleaned up except two or three and the nice part of It was that they did not have to be forced into It. You see 1 never get to s«*e any Philadelphia papers out here and I don^t know what happened, and then. 1 did not know the shows were cleaning up.

Now I don't want any trouble myself. Thts has not got me worried. 1 want to <io what the balance of them are doing. If they have run the grift away I will, too. On the other hand I don't want to be so different from the other managers aa to be called a-centric or a freak for not allowing any gr.ft to light on my show.

What ia one of them Underground Chinatown shows? I would like to have one of them If It would bo a good place to bide Sandstorm Lizzy’s Cabaret when It looks like a shakedown. I’leaae answer all my questions and

Fr»«, prompt and far-famed, the Mail Forwarding Service of The Billboard stands alone as a safe and sure medium through which profeseional people may have their mail addressed. Thousands of performers and showfolk now recaiva their mail through this highly officiant department.

Mail is sometimes lost and mix-ups result beoauss performers do not writs plainly, do not give correct address or forget to give an address at all when writing for advertised mail. Others send letters and write address and name so near postage stamp that it is obliterated in cancelation by the post- office stamping machines. In such cases and where such letters bear no return address, the letter can only be for¬ warded to Dead Letter Office. Help The Billboard handle your mail by com¬ plying with the following:

Write for mail whan it is FIRST advertised. The following is the key to the latter list:

Cincinnati.(No Stars) New York.Ons Star (*) Chicago .Two Stars (**) St. Louis.Three Stars (*••) San Francisco .(S)

If your name appears in the letter list with stars before it write to the office holding ths mail, which you will know by the method outlined above. Keep the Mail Forwarding Department aupplied with your route and mail will La forwarded without the neceeeity'of advertising it. Postage is required only for packages-

it tbto- luttly free.

Mail it held but thirty dayi, and tan not be recovered after it go«a to the Deed Letter Office.

Mail advertieed in thia iaeue wae un- called for up to laat Sunday noon. All requeete for mail muat be eigned by the party to whom mail ia addreaeed.

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

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 cliente are not put to the necessity of writing for their mail more tharf once or twice a season.

The letters advertised in this issue are hardly five per cent of those that pass thru our Cincinnati and its 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 ua* a aelf-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 Office. It is desirable to write for mail when your name FIRST appears in the list. Address your postal to ’’Mail Forwarding Service, The Billboard.”
