lYoduced for the first time at the

Broadway Theater. New York. *>n

November 119. IS99. Men-Hur ha« ever i

since maintained a unii|ue position on |

the American staRe. Based on the J

novel of General L<'w Wallace, which ‘

had already received the endorsement

of Pope Leo XIII, tlie play has been

recommended from the pulpits of all

denominations. The Reverend “Billy”

Sunday preached a sermon about It in I

this city and said that he wished he

could send a million i»eople to see It.

and It has rereix’ed the enthusiastic

approval of leadinR st.atesmen and

leaders of thought everywhere.

Klaw & Erlanprer have never sent

but one company on tour pl.ayinR Ben-

Hur, except once, when it was specially

presented at the l)rury I..ane Theater 1

in London, and they have never allowed

the scale of its production to be dimin¬

ished. For that reason they were com¬

pelled to cut short its tour last season,

when the railroads, under Government

control, refused to pruarantee any

schedule for the special train nej-es-

Bar>’ for the transportation.

Scenery more elaborate and on a

more colossal scale than ever is being

l>ullt for the huge stage at the I>‘xing-

ton Avenue Openi House, and a big

chorus, numbering more than 300 men

and women, is now being engaged.

Preference will be given to all appli¬

cants who w<-re memlwrs of the or¬

ganization la.-.! .season. Twenty-five

horses will go into rehears;»I at once

for the chariot race.

The perennial pms|>erily of Ben-Hur

is still another proof of the success t)f

cleanliness on the stage, esiMsdally in

these momentous times, when fteople

must have something more than or-

dlnar.v amusement or tmtertainment to

lift th(‘m out of their hours of depres-

i^ion entailed by the loss of loved ones

in the great war. Ben-Hur will un-

dmihtetlly go down thru the long years

t » co-re as a messenger of comfort and

- 'pe to tlie inussca.

Aitorney Edward F. Bunne notifletl

previously hati been decidetl in favor of

COPYRIGHTED PLAYS GIVEN OVER TO LIB¬ ERTY THEATERS David Belasco and George Mid¬

dleton Waive Rights

First Soldier Productions Are Staged at Gamp Meade

Appointments and Transfers of Managers Announced

New Y’ork, July 13.—Thru the pa¬

triotic action of authors and managers

the soldier boys in the camps are to

have an opportunity to see some high-

I class copyrighted productions. D.ivid

Belasco and George Middleton have

waived their copyrights on certain ;

plays In order that they may be freely I used by the War Defiartment, and it ■ Is expected this will be followed by

others, thereby making available plays

which otherwise could not be shown

at the camps.

The Drums of Oude. by Austin

Strong, and Back of the Ballot, by Geo.

Middleton, are the first two copyright

plays to be turned ov-er by authors and

managers as gifts to the War Depart¬

ment Commission on Training Camp

Activities. “Certainly.” wrote David

Belasco, in waiving the copyright on

The Drums of Oude. “I gave my con¬

sent that the Drums of Oude be used

by the W’ar Department. It is one of

the best one-act plays that ever was

written, and should afford the boys,

not only amusement and diversion, but

inspiration.”

The first soldier productions staged

at Camp Meade, Maryland, by soldiers,

under the direction of Mr. Rochester,

dramatic director for the War Depart¬

ment Commission on Training Camp

Activities, took place this week in the

Liberty Theater. Two playlets were

given, one a tabloid musical comedy,

called Made in France, the hit of which

was the chorus of sailor boys in I’d

Like To See the Kaiser With a Lily

in His Hand, and the other a comedy by

Mr. Rochester himself, whicli had ai>-

peared in England and Australia, en¬

titled The Widow’s Might. Altlio the

shows had been in preparation but two

weeks, the boys acquitted tljemselves

creditably in both the male and female

roles. Mr. Rochester had dug out a

number of professionals from among

the khaki population of the caniT>. an<l

a bunch of vaudeville .acts whiled

away the intermission and held the

audience and soldiers and visitors long

after the curtain had dropped on the

"widow.” Among those known on the

regular circuit were Kirby and (Juinn,

A. J. Rafferty and Frank Kellam.

promises to be the only form of in¬

door entertainment calculated to

cope with the shifting conditions en¬

forced by America’s participation in

the world war.

Of course, nobody dreamed of what

stock would be enabled to do—not

even the few who were suttlclently for¬

tunate to embrace this neglected form

of amusement, suddenly preferred, be¬

cause of conditions which nobody could

foresee. The raise in railroad rates,

making transi)ortation problems mani¬

fold for traveling companie.s (so great.

In fact, that, a.s previously reported in

these columns, nearly all the road

shows which auspiciously set forth in

the spring have been disbanded), gave

stock a distinct advantage. On top of

this the cheat) rates at which stock

may be offered did much to offset the

disadvantage of the additional war

tax levy which lU’oved .'•uch a problem

to the legitimate stage. Then the

fact that the public is always ready to'

welcome stock when other legitimate

offerings are on the wane (as evi¬

denced by the seasonal success of sum¬

mer stock companies even in normal

years) serves to add to the profit pos¬

sibilities of this form of show promul-

agatiun. ,\nd it must not be foi-gotten

public likes to view for a portion of a

Extensive Plans

l'«>r Next Yfxir Art* lU-iiit; .Made liy Seluyii & ('<>iii|Miny

New York, July 13.—In addition to three new theaters which will be formally opened next fa l, ."<elwyn & (’ompany are preparing to produce several new plays and will also direct the road tours of many of their la.st season succcs-ses.

The first of their new theater.** to be re.idy for occupancy* will bo the Sel- w vn. and to this house their executive *>tliics will be moved.

The first of the new Selwyn plays to l»c shown In Xew York will be a farce by Avery Hopwood, entitled Double Exposure, which will open in .1 Broadway house in August. About the same time two road companies will be .sent on tour in Fair and Warmer. J.inc Fowl in Information. Plea.**e. will l>e the opening attraction at the .'<clw\n early in September. Soon thereafter Roi Cooper Megrue’s Tea for Three will be presented on Broadway and about the end of the month The Crowdeil Hour will come to New York.

Selwyn’s other two new theaters will open in December.

In association with Adolph Klauber the Selwyns will present Helen with the High Hand, a comedy.

Late in August the firm will open their Park S<iuare Theater in Boston with .\. H. Woods’ production of Par¬ lor. Bedroom and Bath.

Big Acts at Camp Lewis

Tacoma. Wash., July 13.—All the big road shows that visit Tacoma and Seattle are on the Camp Lewis book¬ ings. and the camp is also on the Or- pheum vaudeville circuit. The camp’s good fortune in this respect is at* tributed to the fact that the Liberty Theater here is self-supiwrting.

Friars Give Ambulance

New York. July 13.—The FYiars’ Club has presented a field ambulance for use in war emergency work to the Police Department, it was announced yesterday by Special Deputy Commis¬ sioner Allan A. Ryan, head of the Division of National Defense of the Police Department.

To Pay Brady Bequests

New’ York. July 13.—Beneficiaries of the estate of James Buchanan Brady will receive their bequests the second week in August, unless objections are raised. July 30 is set as the last date on which heirs may enter protest. The Actors’ Fund of America is to receive 110.000.

Murray Falls for Cupid

New York. July 13.—Announce¬ ment has Just been made of the mar¬ riage of John T. .Murray, the comedian in .Maytime at the Broudhiirst Theater, to Miss Vivien Oakland, which took place in Detroit, Mich., in April. Miss Oakland Is one of the Oakland Sisters who was seen in Over the Top recent¬ ly. The Oakland Sisters will be seen in another Broadway production next season.

Broadway’s byways, by which is meant the crosstown streets leading off of Broadway in the vicinity of Longacre, are steadily gaining favor over Broadway Itself as congregating places for actors.

This may be, and very likely is, due to the long tenure which the subway contra< tor8 have held on the famous street, to the obstructions their piles of material and refuse have occasioned, and to the many yawning chasms which their operations necessitated in the sidewalks, and which, tho always promptly bridged, impeded pedestrians and caused frequent congested spots, but the princii)al reason is undoubtedly the exorbitant rentals demanded by Broad¬ way’s landlords.

These have driven the song publishers, costumers, wig makers and many agents into the side streets, and the actor, finding them quieter, less crowded and in every way more to bis liking, haunts them instead of the Great White Way.

Ready To Sail

New York, July 13.—Kenneth S. Clark, formerly news editor of Musical America, and who also wrote music fur Klaw & Krianger, is preparing to go overseas for the music committee of the Y. .M. C. A. During his college days he was a success as a leader of mass singing. Mr. (’lark was the first man taken by the Government to act as a song leader for the various camps. He had the honor of leading the Fnlted States Congri-ss in mass sing¬ ing. Mr. Clark is a pioneer of camp Mnging.

Another fact worthy of note and one which will interest many oldtimers scattered thruout the country is that .the northward march of the Rialto has seemingly been permanently arrested.

There are many professional people still living who can remember when its heart was at the corner of Center and Leonard streets. It still was thirty- five years ago.

Then it moved over to the Bowery, and north on that thorofare several blocks each year until It halted at the (X)rner of Fourteenth street and Fourth avenue. There it stuck for about four years, only to resume its Journey up Broadway until it reached its present locale.

It has been stationary for a matter of eight years, and now that Times Square Station is to be the center of the subway system it is more than probable that it will remain where it is for years and years. As a matter of fact there are twice as many theaters now building below Forty-sixth street than there are above it. • •••••

Also the war has had an effect UfHjn it, all reports to the contrary not¬ withstanding. It is, in fact, greatly changed. It i^ soberer, more sedate and much less garish than of yore.

Of course, the daylight saving expedient ha.s made a difference; the ex¬ perience of going to a night show with the sun barely down is indescribably odd. Also the ban on the big electric signs, due to the exigencies of fuel con¬ servation. has wrought a big change, but the chief cause lies in the people themselves.

There is less mirth in their eyes, less merriment in their faces and less abandon in their appearance and demeanor.

Restraint is everywhere in evidence and circumspection in dress and be¬ havior Is the rule.

In the cabarets there is still carousing, gorging and profligate spending, but their patronage has changed. Those that frequent them these days are largely persons whose fortunes have been favored by the war. In a word, they are profiteers—and they look it. There used to be quite a little class to the patrons of the lobster palaces, but in thia respect deterioration is most marked.

• ••••• Several of them have shut up shop. The Palace Royal has a sign out

reading: “Closed to redecorate. Will open with a new revue, entitled The Spice of Life, early in September."

’ • • • • • • There are seventeen first-class houses open, most of the vaudeville thea¬

ters. The Columbia (burlesque) and practically all of the picture houses. Business is not big with all of them, nor is it uniform, but it is quite satis¬ factory on the whole. • •••••

Bert Williams is back in the Midnight Frolic despite a rumor that he and Ziegfeld had agreed to disagree.

• ••••• Joseph Klaw’s first production will be a mu8i(»l <K)medy. entitled Some

Night. It is by Harry Delf, and Forrest Winant will be featured. • ••••• And now it is James K. Hackett in pictures. They say the Graphic has

him and that the film will be called The Ashes of Love. The title suggests love insurance and a new field for accident companies. • •••••

Things can’t be blue or drear While our greatest stars still shine

And carry fun and cheer To our boys right on the line.

Sldonie Espero, who was the only person to come out of the late lamented Kitty, Darlin’ with glory, will be given the chance of her life at the Century Theater in the fall. She will have the leading role in The Maid of the Mountains. • • •••••

It is odd to have the Winter Garden closed. Sinbad, you know, closed July d, and The Passing Show, 1918, will not open until well toward the end of the month. • •••••

These press agents are careless chaps. A. Toxen Worm closed Fancy Free solely because Clifton Crawford wanted a vacation, yet last week Clifton was on the Palace bill, and I’ll bet a red apple the date was not forced on him either. • •••••

If that session with R. E. Morse. Which always follows a “stew,”

Preceded it—why then, of course. It could not follow it, t(X>. • •••••

Alarm over the work or fight law’ is gradually dying out. The loafers, lounge-lizards, leaners, lucky lads and Lulus all promptly dug out. And that, too. has changed Broadway.

New York, July 13.—Among the new amusement companies incorporated at Albany the past week are the follow’- ing:

The Blaney Producing Company, to produce and present plays, cornedie.**, .sketches and other stage attr.ictions, also motion pictures and kindred pro¬ ductions.

Selwyn Operating Corporation, to obtain a lease on the Selwyn Theater and operate same for theatrical and vaudeville purpo-ses.

The Allied Theater.^, to manage theaters and provide for the produc¬ tion of theatrical, musical, vaudeville and motion picture attractions.

Need Not Make Accounting

New’ York, July LI.—.Vccording to a ilecision handetl down by the Appellate Division of the Supreme (’ourt Joseph Uiter can not be forced to make an accounting to Madison (?orey of tho protits of the production of Erstwhile Sn.«an and the tour of Minnie Maddern Fi.ske in that and other plays.

In his complaint Corey alleged that ail tlie money spent upon The Amber Princess was spent by Riter person- all.v and against his advice. Riter. however, claimed that Corey fully ap¬ proved of the production, and further that it was Corey & Riter, Inc., that made the production and that he only loaned the firm the money invested in

it.

Cohan Will Return

To His Native Klement—Will Appear in Yankee Dooclle Revue

New York. July 15.—George M. Co¬ han contemplates returning to the stage in December in Cohan’s Yankee Doodle Revue. This comeback on the speaking stage is in all probability due to the fact that the star’s motion pic¬ ture efforts did not create the enthu¬ siasm expected. Cohan’s new song. When You Come Back. If You Do Come Back, the Whole World Is Wait' ing for You, promises to rival his fa mous Over There.

marks a new turn in their record of

achievements, as all their theaters have

heretofore been confined to the pre¬

sentation of motion pictures. Gene The patriotic vaudeartist, who has

taken his pow'ers of entertaining

"overseas,” to do his bit by cheering

up our soldiers on the battlefront,

meets with some very interesting ex¬

periences, according to a letter re¬

ceived from Comedian Frank Bradley

by the Y. M. C. A. War Council’s En¬

tertainment Committee.

Bradley, with five other entertain¬

ers. is touring the “Y” hut circuit, the

soldiers’ theater, back of the battle

lines, under the auspices of the Y. M.

C. A. and the Over There Theater

League. His letter relates some of the

adventures encountered by the "Flash¬

light Circuit” as this "chain of thea¬

ters” is dubbed.

Imagine a temperamental topliner

having the "henr.v” of his pet gag

spoiled by the untimely arrival of an

air bombardment, or to have the catch

line of the latest ragtime melody lost

in the shriek of an explosion of shrap¬

nel, or the melodramatic quiver of his

tearladen voice lost in the din of a

clanking munitions auto. Just as he

came to the “sob stuff” about the girl

you left behind, or worse still, just as

he was putting a punch across with a

riot, to have the entire audience

bounce out of their seats and clear the

hall before he had time to catch his

breath.

But such things happen in the

vaudeville theaters—big time, small

time or any old time—"over there,”

and it takes a pretty clever artist to

“put it across” when the big guns are

roaring, the steam shovels digging the

trenches clattering like a New York

subway scoop shovel, and the “house”

doused in darkness without a second’s

notice. Under such circumstances it

la somewhat rasping to have the “Y”

secretary, who acts as stage manager,

instruct you to talk’ a little louder, or

never mind the darkness but keep

right on with your act.

However, vaudeville is most popular

with 'soldier audiences, who are un¬

stinted with their applaus#, and there

Is also the amusing side of the situa¬

tion.

MyicETHrarEE (Ravievwred Monday Matinee, July 15)

Npw York, July 15.—Without any famous headliner belnit in evidence to¬ day. the Palace crowd was treated to a rattling Rood show. Sometimes it seems as tho when no biR star is on the bill that the remainder of the show is of a belter cjiliber

In fact, as a rule, it is not the headliner that entertains. V.'.-.il"' they may attract, it is the rank and file of the vaudeville world that grlve the public what it wants. The theater was not crowded this afternoon, the upper boxes beinR empty, and the audience was slow in showinR appreciation—probably

the warm weather was responsible, altho the Interior of the Palace was de- llRhtfully cool as compared with the outside heat.

The munaRement has not yet decided upon the headline features for next week.

No. 1—Palace New’s Pictorial showlnR pictures of the funeral of ex-.Mayor Mitchel. and scenes of what the U. S. Marines are doinR over there, did not create much enthusiasm. ^

She then sang the chorus of Over There in French, and finished with the Marsellaise to unbounded enthusiasm, with the entire audience standing. Many bows.

No. 4—Somewhere in France, a singinR and comedy episode of the trenches, with Roy Torrey. Charles Walt. Horace Ruewe and John P>arclay. serves to make one temporarily forRet the actual horrors of what the real boys are endurinR Over There, but It is a question if makinR fun of trench life is in keeping with the spirit of the United States at the present time. The note on the program: "This act was written two years before the United States entered the war on the side of the Allies” does not help much. Three curtains.

No. 5—Walter Brower talkcnl Incessantly for fifteen minutes and the audi¬ ence laughed boisterously for fifteen minutes. Walter never lets up on them from the time he starts, and every once in a while slips over an unexpected punch that makes the crowd roar: ”I have Just heard from Washington that they are shortly going to serve food with meals.” In one; four bows.

No. 6—Mile. Dazle and Company. In an Oriental setting, once again danced her way Into the favor of everybody. In years to come, when a hall of fame is erected to artists of the Twentieth Century, this captivating artist will surely be found in an honored spot. She is Just as much at home on her toes as some people are In a Morris chair. Charming, graceful, exuding, very spirit of youth. Mile. Dazle is a credit to the Big Time. M. Bonnie Oianco and Kd Janis. with four nimble girls, assist the star. Bernard Bern cleverly plays the Long, Long Trail on the violin. The Dancing of the Inale L’ -Aero¬ plane Victorleu, compiled and arranged by Gus Edwards, was a fitting climax to a very exceptional offering. Many bows, applause and flowers.

* INTERMISSION

No. 7—Fradkin and Miss Jean Tell offer one of those high-class drawing room piano, violin and singing numbers that entertain a vaudeville audience, altho in reality they are probably better received out on the Chautauqua cir¬ cuits, as while the principals are clever. Fradkin’s execution and expression shown thruout his violin solos being very pleasing, the offering lacks vaude¬ ville atmosphere. In full stage for fifteen minutes; three bows and encore.

No. 8—Andrew Tombes and Rena Parker. Just from the successful Flo- Flo, returned to the two-a-day and instantly caught on with their nonsensical tomfoolery. Tombes is a comedian with very original methods, and Miss Parker acts as an excellent foil for his buffoonery. In one. with several bows.

No. 9—Harry Carroll and Anna Wheaton. This popular composer received a big round of applause upon his entrance, as also did Miss Wheaton, whose first song about Mary and Her Little Calf started them off big. Carroll plays and sings Just for all the world that was all he did In life, and in all probability this clever team never met with more appreciation than today.

Singing Voices—Specialties Imperative.

UWRENCE DEMING, Eafle Grove, Iowa

^ IN NEW YORK (HILLIAR’S SELECTIONS)

Blossom Seeley, the sensational singing siren, was the undoubtoH hit of the show, in fact she stopped it. She is ably assisted by five young men. Fields. Salisbury, Davis. Lopez and Thorpe, but it is to .Mi.ss Seeley’s individual efforts that the act owes its great success. -Vt the Palace Theater Monday matinee.

Lillian Fitzgerald, with Clarence Senna, an exceptionall.v clever piano player, put over a clever routine of mimicry. Her travest.v <>f a French chaiOreuse and her emotional actress bit was delightful comedy. One of the big hits of the bill at the Palace Theater Monday matinee.

Clifton Crawford was welcomed heartily upon his appearance and scored decidedly. His moving picture "episode” is a gem. and probably no other comedian could get the effect out of it that Crawford does. A delightful comedian of unlimited resource. At tlie Palace Theater Mon¬

day matinee. _

Barnea and Crawford have come back to vaudeville with a merr.v melange of their familiar quips, sayings and antics, the old stunt of Barnes going into the audience with a gun and demanding that they

applaud Miss Crawford getting many a laugh. Artistic In everything

they do. At the Riverside Monday evening.

Charles Withers, in For Pity's Sake, again had everyone laughing

until they cried. Call it hokum, call it buffoonery or whatever you

will, the fact remains t\)at vaudeville audiences like to laugh, and Withers has given them exactly what they want. At the Palace Theater

Monday matinee. Frank Dobso^ Nut of the Nuts, with a good singing voice, rapidly

became a great favorite with the crowd here. He has an excellent line of material and delivers it with the necessary punch. He is assisted by a girl in a singing and dancing offering for his finish. At the New

Brighton Theater Tuesday evening. _ James Diamond and Sybil Brennan were the big hit of a good show.

Their singing, dancing and cross talk is handled in expert style, and Miss Brennan’s appearance and personality evokes much enthusiasm. Sure-fire entertainers. At the Fifth Avenue Tuesday matinee.

IN CHICAGO (Caaper’a Salactiona)

Roscoe’a Royal Nine, an all-lady, white minstrel act, is made up of remarkably talented principals, who know how to put over specialties. With such a splendid aggregation of talent it’s a pity a little more care was not taken in arranging the material, as most of the gags were stereotyped (one having been cracked by a preceding act on the same bill). But the specialties are so good that the act, despite its handicap in the way of original material, stands forth as one of the best on view

at small-time houses.* At the Rialto Monday morning.

Josephine and Charlotte Amoroa are rather diminutive French ladies, whose remarkable physical development is reflected in their dashing manner of dancing ami the exhibition of surprising trapeze feats. Credit Is due them for the clever manner in which the physical culture aspects of the act are concealed at Its opening. At the Majestic Monday matinee.

Markey and Montgomery have the kind of talent that should meet

with sufficient recognition to make the names a by-word for nut comedy

within a very short time. His nut stuff Is as good as any going the rounds of vaudeville—and better than many—while the little lady serves as a splendid straight. At the Rialto Monday morning.

Mystic Hanaon Trio deserves special credit because of the novel manner in which many feats of magic are presented. Instead of the usual routine of tricks, with accompanying monolog, each stunt is ex¬ plained by a little song, two graceful girls serving as capable assistants to the magician. At the Majestic Monday matinee.

IN SAN FRANCISCO (Boz’a Selections)

Madame Sarah Bernhardt has no competition, easily heading San Francisco offerings in From the Theater to the Battlefield. This won¬ derful woman sways her audience with every inflection of her voice and her personality. The sketch has a strong patriotic appeal, but no sug¬ gestion of "flag waving” for applause purposes. Her supi>ort is excel¬ lent. Thirty-three minutes, in full; five curtain calls; flowers. Special settings. Orpheum Sunday afternoon.

Peter Taylor’s Animal Drama, The Unbidden Guest, featuring three beautiful, full-grown male lions, including Walter Beckwith’s famous “Jimmie,” and two superb, nearly grown cubs, takes precedence over any lion group ever seen on the stage here. Well presented, nicely staged and appropriately scened, with special settings, the act is wonder¬ ful. Seventeen minutes, In full; two curtains and closing the bill. Pan-

tages Monday evening.

ings. What 1 Did to ’em in Hemstead is a gem; so, too, is .LIgy and the A(;robat.

DIFFERENCES OF OPINION

John Rucker, of Rueker and 'Winifred, has

lodged a protest with the organization oxer the unauthorized use liy Miller Packer aud Selz of

his song. Why Don't It Rain on Me. A Cvu-

troTersy baa arisen between AI Sbayne and Toney

Martin, relative to the rights of a copyrighted act, which AI Sbayne claims to have idayed in

a cabaret in Coney Island in tbe year of I!t12.

Mr. Martin states that tbe act was nut started until tbe year of 1015. Tbe rigbt and title

to the billing of The Apollo Trio has been de¬

cided by the Joint Complaint Bureau to be vested

in Will Apollo, Giovanni Gradella and Albert Blum, of which tbe first named is tbe manager.

Clement Coby, Harold Van Alstine and Emerson

Smith, of which the first named is manager,

have been notified to discontinue this billing and title. Mise Billie Bowman has registered a eouiplaint against Mre. Ralph Herz, stating

that Mrs. Ralph Hen is Infringing on an Ideal

of hers, with which she baa long been identified. Tbe idea in question cooilsts of Miss IVswmtn

disking her changes behind a transparent drop, in view of the audience, and giving an explana

ters that promise to make burlesque more at¬ tractive than ever to lovers of this form of

tbeatrlcaU.

The Billboard in recent issues has given much

space to the activities of the Burlesque Club, its executives and members, for the reason that the eluh represents producing managers, company

artists who are co-operating with tli " e\e<-Htives of the two circuits in every manner isissible to |

bring burlesque to a state of iierfeotiuu. j In previous Issues wo liave given the Iiistory

with the music publishing house of Shapiro. Bernstein and Von Tllzer. His progress in

inuaical circles was rapid, for at the expiration

revues, and It is said by those who should know that the enterprising Dan introduced cabarets in

and around New York. Further it la a con¬ ceded fact that Dody produced sixteen revues—

each and every one a success.

Mr. Dody Is a well-known man about town, an

active meiiilK-r of several fraternal and civic or¬ ganizations and the Prince Charming of tn-

nuuieralile show girls who owe their present lucrative positions on the stage to the early

teaching of the master mind ef musical revue.

About ten years ago tlie genial Dan signed up for life with Miss May Goldstein, a prominent member • f the leading Jewish a's-letles of New

York, 'ilie union has brought much happiness

to both, likewise to Jemme WIHht Dody, who now acknowledges to nine years of age and an ambition to become an artive partner of bis

daddy, Dan, in prmluelng musical revues. Master

Jerome displays not only inclination but efll- ciency for a youngster of his years, and it is a

foregone conclusion that be will make goo<l in

his chosen profesaion, Mr. Dody, Sr., is now engaged in ponluclng

musical enaemblea for Hurtig & Seamon. Jacobs

WHEN TAPS ARE SOFTLY BIXIWING (WE ARE DREAMING ALL OF TOl’I. by Harry —preying uism the healthy thoughts of others

instead of originating eonce)itinns, yet olTerlng such pilfered iir.MliO'ts as original conipusitions.

In the real world of song he doesn't thrive,

because even the doubtful practice of preparing

“ringers” of successful songs requires a form

of nii'ntal ability which is far beyond his ken. But, like the wolf preying npon sheep—or the

mold on cheese—he is found around the borders, making an effort to profit by the brainwork

of those inside.

When a recognized publisher strikes a big hit It la not unusual to find that some unknown l>er

son in a small town does one of two things—

either he uses the hit title on some ordinary

product of his own composition or he laborious¬ ly paraphrases the wording of the hit song and Issues it under a new title. Then be endeavors

to sell the effusion to some music dealer on the strength of what the original tong baa ac¬

complished.

Sometimes a person with absolntelj no knowl¬ edge of song writing paraphrases the lyric of a

number tiint appeals to him (or, rather, he

shifts a word and rhyme here and there) and

semis it to a publisher in the hope that the ex eellenee of the song, from wbi(di the Idea and eonstruelion is stolen, will Insure the aeceptsnce

of the imitation. This is done with no idea of

preparing a ringer, but with the deliberate In- tentUm of pilfering another person's work, in

^lic ronfldence that the publisher may not be fa-

^■iiliar with the sung from which it is stolen

Bnd will accept the pilfered product In good ^falth.

NEW MUSIC PUBLISHING CO.

A song of uneaeapabte appeal. Without a tingle eoarse line, it tells the story of Belgium's plight that so many writers of songs and other things have easayed to tell. Its climax ex¬ presses optimism via a beautiful allegorical expression; "We'll make an American Beauty Vt you.'”

SONG LOGIC THE HIGH-CLASS FALLACY

Popular music publisbera have been making strenuous efforts to gain aome of the profits arcruing from the publication of "hlgh-claas” music. Nearly all thr oldllne publiabera now have liigh-rdasH departments, run under separate imprints. But it is noticeable that some of the firms wliich met with greatest sta-eesa as impular music publishers lag far behind In the high- clasa field. Tlie explanation of this is partly imyeliologlcal. Some publishers believe that in order to be high-class a number must be "deep.” liave lines possessed of lofty phrases wedded to most intricate music. As a matter of faet purity, rather than intriracy. Is tlie measure of higli-elasH musie. Inasmuch us it took years to gauge the siupllrlty required for the popular market, it is not surprising to find that publiahers do not readily apprehend Just what is wanted for the liigh-clusa market.

THE SOFT PEDAL

The blindest Jingo must reallie that the kind of patriotic utterances whieb make good stump speeclies and diplomatic exchange do not prove very <-onvlnclng wlien dished up in the form of patriotic songs. The song (no matter what ita claasiflcatloni with lines so written that a wonderful, implied story is told lietween the lines, la far more iioteDt than the one which depends upon pliriis»-s <|uitc commonplace because of the workings of war. That's why s<ings aimed directly at "Kaiser Bill,” with "eat-'em-alive” lines, seldom do mia b on the stage or over tlie counters. I'nless isim** partii'ularly brilliant inspiration prompts tlie outburst, even In war time, the jiower of the soft (ledal should not be overluokeil by the song writer.

SONGS MADE IN CAMPS

America’s Largeat Publisher Proves No Other Boosting Is Needed

Chicago. July l.l.—Those InterestiHl in the ways and means of establishing the popularity

of new wngs will find plenty of food for thought

in the fact that K K-K-Katy, a song published by Leo Feist, Inc., generally i-onceded to be America's leading publisher when it comes to

instituting successful national advertising cam¬ paigns. irrespective of the expenditure involved,

proveil a plienomenal seller long liefore a penny

was spent on .my form of puhllcity.

The I'ampaign was worked out liy General Manager E. F. Bitner, who was interested In

the experiment of ascertaining if a song could be "made” solely thru training camp activities.

Several copies were distrllmted among enter tainers who visited the camiis. and the soldiers

and sailors bad an opiMirtiinity of liearing the

novelty song. Much to the publisher's surprise orders liegan coming in from here, there and

everywhere—much larger ciders than were se¬ cured on the regularly plugged songs. Rocco

A'o<-co. (hicago manager, found that stores in territory adjacent to Chicago were onlering

quantities tliat are asked for only when a song is an established hit.

To those who ask if a song may lie is.piilarired without the assistance of Hie tlieater this uniqiin

experiment on the part of a firm noted for

successful exploitatlun of revolutionary idnas

will apfiear as a distinct advance in the art of

isqmlarizing songs.

The composer of the musie, Harry A. Raskin, tbo bat a lad of JO, has already accompilabel

New York. July 13.—Charles B. Dillingham yesterday signed Clifton Crawford to appear with Julia Sanderson in tbe new musical comedy

which be will present at the Globe Theater In September. The music has been composed by Ivan Caryll, but the name of tbe author of tbe

book has not yet been disclosed. and Frances Ingram, eontralto, are among the

latest recruits. Recently when Lee Shubert is¬

sued a call for volunteers to fill the ranks of camp musical comedy companies between -100 and 500 actors and actresses responded.

In expressing the government's appreciation of this fine spirit of co-o{>erution Mr. McBride, tbe oommiesiun member in charge of theatrical

entertainment -tnd acting chairman in the ao- senee of Mr. KoBdick abroad, said: “No -me

knows better than tbe stage world the value of

a good entertainment to men In service. It is more than amusement; it is a builder of morale.

“The numbers of executives and artists who

are eagerly volunteering are doing a splendid piece of war work, the worth of which is at¬

tested in the outspoken applause of tbe aol-

diere and tbe DO less outspoken applause of the

nation."

Washington, July 13.—Realizing tbe necessity

of backing up tbe Government in its project of

providing good theatrical entertainment for the

training camps, managers and performers right

and left are volunteering their services to tbe

War Department Commission on Training Camp

Activities.

The I.ambs' Club, thru Shepherd Joseph GrU-

nicr, has offered its services as an urguuizati<>n

at any time to the Commission. Among the mem-

liers who also volunteered as individuals are An¬

affectation an>l for Its Infectious humor.

Is without strain and of genuine freshness.

The story is all about tbe KUckinger family

and their friends, tbe sort of people Abrabain

IJncoln bad in mind when be said: “God must

love poor folks, or He wouldn't have made so

many of them." There are no dark or an-

savory situatlnna. nitho there is a close call

when the heroine, 0|>al. tbe youngest child of

the simple family, determines to throw off the

yoke of obedience and go oot into the world to

seek her own living, because, as she ImagiDet.

everytxsly Is against her, even to her mother.

But this is soon disslpate<l by a new turn In the

complications. There is plenty of wholesome

humor tbruout tbe play, snd It is evident that

the anthora have contented themselves with

writing a comedy that will please tbe average

playgoer who is not seeking so-called high¬

brow amnaement. Tbe performance last night

wan remarkably smooth and showed tbe carefnl

stage direction of ^am Korreat, who Is entitled

to much credit for tbe finished presentation,

both as to the cbaracterlsatlona and tbe artlstle

stage settings.

Zelda Sears, as Ma Kllcklnger. gave a capital

Interpretation of the role of tbe mother who

was always right—at least In her own estima¬

tion—and was tbe dominating character of tbe

entire play.

Percy Pollock, as Pa Kllcklnger, tbe hen¬

pecked head of the family, was full of quiet

humor and Interpreted hts part In a manner

almost beyond criticism. It was a real delight

to witness bis strong acting, so cleverly did be

enter Into tbe spirit of tbe part.

Marion Coakley, as the youngest daughter,

who was sought by three suitors, but whosa

"Ma" was determined that she should teach

school, was demure and played her part with

delightful repression and In a sympathetic man¬ ner that well i>ortrayed the author's Ideals.

Cora Wlthersiwsm did some clever character work In the role <if Jules, tbe married sister, who had troubles of her own In earing for tbe “twlnses,” and her quaint pessimism produced man,v laughs.

niff Heckinger. as Jed Klk-kioger. tbe older brother of Opal, who was jilted hy Kern BIstle. and Gwendolyn Piers, as tbe fickle Kern, were good In their resiwctlve parts. In fact the east wss a remarkably well selecte<l one and gave an exceptionally smooth performance for the first night.

About a year aio. Just aa tba motion picture

rxbltdtora were about to bold tbeir laat annual

conrentioa, thia department of Tbe Billboard

urged tbe propoaal and paaaage of a resolution ccnched in almost identical language. It also

urged that tbe legitimate houses seeking farors at tbe bands of the (lorernment in eichange

for serrlce rendered and to be rendered sbontd make a simitar declaration and thus Increase

their measure of aerrice.

Last week several managers announced that

they would meet tbe unfavorable railroad situ¬

ation by providing tbeir stars with repertoires,

thus enabling them to extend the length of tbeir

stays In large citiea and cut down tbe necessity

for transportation to a minlmnm.

This, too, is a wartime service that this de¬ partment of Tbe Billboard baa long urged tbe

profession to adopt.

Last week it was reported that the ticket

brokers, whose existenre is again threatened by

unfavorable Icglslattoa, scriouely discnsned tbe

adoption of a central exchange system, with

quoted prices flurtnating with the demand, whicb

was first outlined and discussed in this depart¬ ment of Tbe Billboard. Tbe adoption of such

a system would not only reduce tbe man power

now required to effect tbe sale and distribution

of theater tickets, and thus become a measure

of general economy, but It would stabillxe tbe business and tbe ticket broker would thereby

appear to the theatergoing citixen in tbe guise

of a public servant rather than as a nuisance and a highwayman, as be is now generally

pictured.

Tinced thru reading articles on tbe subject in

this department of The Billboard that the forms ■ f misrepresentation commonly practiced In the¬

atrical advertising injured tbe business as a wholo without appreciably benefiting the busi

ness of those attractions that utilixed It.

The recurrence of incidents of this nature

within tbe period of seven days produces a feeling closely akia to satisfaelbm. It b< a good

'h ng to check up now and then, and one likes t,. check up when the balance appears to be

■ n the right side of the ledger. This depart¬

ment of Tbe Billboard has tieen In operation mewhat over a year, and during that year

iTint paper has been ertraordinarlly scarce

•ind expensive. And in that year forty thou

s-ud copies of this page were run off weekly,

so we believe we used up nearly a ton of the

preiious stuff. And we like to feel that in

depriving others of the use of It we have given it a real value.

We believe this department was the first to urge the enlistment of entertainers to per¬ form a useful service back of tbe front lines

over there. We lielleve we were the first to urge the coBservation of man power In tbe perform

minda of an rntertainmeDtseeklng public from

the war. That those who ran counter to this

general Impression profited exceedingly, with

possibly one major exception, was apparent.

Moreover, tbe production of propaganda plays,

even where they were designed merely to atir

tbe patriotic pulse, and tbns indirectly aid m-

rnittlng. increased appreciably the measnre of tbe theater’s service to tbe State.

All these things are by way of pointing out

that oor ideas and auggeations are, for tbe most

part, prartiral, and to reintroduce tbe anbject of tbe formation of an organization to ntillxe the time and energies of actors and other the¬

atrical employees temporarily onl. of work, par¬ ticularly at present in fhe betweeo-season period, for servics sf value in the great national task. This idea waa disoutsed ia detail In this

column last week. Tbe idea is not to shield tbe individnal from the “Work or Fight’’ en¬ actment, for measures might be taken to sift the volunteers In .m endeavor to find work in other lla-H« for those who might prove physically

and temperamentally suited to prove of gr-mter value If to employed, but it ia to coas-wv* and Dtlllae the hours, days rnd weeks that the folk

Jobs that we ail know. 'Thrown on their own

resources individuals might do work and ac¬ complish service of practical value to the Rov- ernment. but It staads to reason that if tbeir efforts were co-ordainated and well directed tbe

results accomplished would be many times as

valuable. Figaro that a tbonsand theatrical men are golag to spend at least six weeks on the average ia the aext few moaths waiting for work to coameni'e. Mnitiply a thonsand by six weeks aad we get one hundred and fifteen years—one hundred and fifteen years of service of what is in the aggregate a vrell-traiaed adult mind and which will go to waste unless it la carralled and fittiHl Into the general machine.

We regret that the enodnetor of this depart¬ ment can not personally assume tbe task of tbe organiiing of anch a movement, as only a week or two will elapse before he will undertake the

labors tbe Ruvernment has assigWHl to him. But tbe work needs doing, and we are ex¬ pectantly awaiting word that someone has stepped forward to take charge of it. Whether he does so to reap the great amount of i>ersonal publicity that would naturally attend the per- fomaBi-e of tbe task or whether it la done from

purely dlslaterested motives Is Immaterial so

long aa It is doae.

A few avennes of service are clearly marked. Such an organisattoB roold give great asslat- ance in the promotion of oalet of Thrift Btamps. Liberty Boada and other Roverameat aecarities. ia the awsillag of totals for war charities thru

performances and other entertainment a^ thru personal aollcllatlon. aad ia the preparation and exploitation of municipal and national pageants given fur war purpoMs. Other avenues, no

doubt, would soon reveal tbemaelves. The or- ganlaatloD la oar that need not perish nith tbe cessation of bostlUties. for its scops couM bs extended to aid worthy charities la time of peace. It Is roatrary to the spirit of tbs age to suffer eenturles of valnable time and poosible arrvlee to go unutilixed anonally.

In speaking of the oplnisa as tn tbs inad vlaabillty of mention of the war In the theater that prevailed some moaths ago we feel called WM to poiat out that th.t

psychological foundation. The fact is drilled into any one attending a small-time vaudeville entertainment, where one ran not avoid listening to songs depicting tbe plight of small children

calling up Central to get No Man's laind or some sorb stuff calculated to have a sentimental appeal. No doubt it baa, but it also is bound to have a harrowing effect on anyone unfor¬ tunate enough to have had the misfortune to have one of the tragedies of warfare brought to his own doorstep. To arouse enthuaiasm for and pride in tbe accomplishments of our buys, to strengthen the determination to do or die, to

liespeak vengeance for tbe foul acta committed by our foe—all these things are things to be done, but to capitalise tbe woe of our neighbors fur the sake of arousing a passing emotion is a

thing strictly to be avoided.

a. JUttw, CISNEROS New York City, July 5. 1918.

Dear Jeanne Jomelli—Tour letter, telling of your singing in the open air in 8an Pranclaco to INI.OOO people, came to me last evening Just as I was starting for the Ponrth of July pageant, which was given at the Stadium of the College of the City of New York. I know you’ll be interested, so I’ll tell yon all about It. When we got out there the sun was Just going down, and the color effect upon the myriads of humans crowded together in the Stadium proper and upon the Hiirroiinding hilla, the soldiers in khaki and blue, mounted and afoot, the piclurewiue costumes of the various nution*. tlie marines, the sailors in their ss white suits and the'hundred* of flag* of the .Vlliea was marvelous. I felt imipired to try my band at a futurlRt painting.

Ke<-retary llaniels. of the Navy, made a llirilling speei-h all about the navy’s achievements, etc. A year ago there were HU.INJO men in the navy. Now there 5(

• are over 440.000. Two thousand men each day are Joining their ranks, repre- Hcnting the best manhood of the country. We believed the last, all right, when over a thousand splendid looking recruits from Pelham Bay marched on the field, massed themselves before the reviewing stand and made the air ring with their camp songs. Percy ilemus led the boys with a method all his own. and a man

near me remarked to a friend: *‘A fellow doing service like that can do as much for hia country as ten men in the fighting lines.” That’s pretty strong talk, but it Is an interesting fact that as the boys begin to sing the expression on their faces will often change from indlffereni-e. fatigue sihI loneliness to Interest, animation and happiness. They loved Scbumann-llelnk as she sang When the Boys Come Home. Tamaki Miura gave the Japanese anthem, and. as an encore. One Pine I>ay, from Butterfly (at a surprisingly slow tempo, by the way). Ethel Barrymore read an Ode to the Allies. I couldn’t hear a word she said, be¬ cause she insisted upon faiing the north during the entire reading, while about five thousand auditors, including myself, listened from the southern half of the Htadium. 8he made a beautiful picture, however, in her flame-colored Gro-ian robe (artistic license). We sat in a box near I.ina Cavalieri. and when Lucien Muratore sang the Marseillaise as few can sing it she became quite hysterical in her happiness over her husband’s suo-es*. Just the same it’s great when an artistic pair can be happy over each otlH>r’s achievements.

KIsa Maxwell was the organising ms retary of tlie affair, and she certainly understood her work. The pageant gave preiedence to Poland, why no one seemed to know. An irate Bed Cross enthusiast was raging about it as she got into her car: "We bad hardly any soldiers in the procession and our Red Cross was almost at the last.” I felt like telling her that many people saved the best for the last, and there was a saying well known about "the proof of the pudding being the sauce.” It’s no easy Job trying to please a public, with an affair which involves no many different organisations, and much credit is due all the active com¬ mittee.

Suppose you’ll be *<<eing your friend. Caruso, out in California before long, now that he has signed up with the Pamons-Ijisky people. Have yon ever wanted to do pictures? Marguerite Sylva told me the other day that she loves the work. 1 saw a private slmwing of her In ('armen this week. 8be is a wonderful actress and her interpretation of Carmen is very unusual. The pictures were lovely, having been taken in Spain.

Hpeaking of pictures. I went out to the studio and saw Marguerite Clark rushing from her cabin door into a rainstorm tmade with water from a hosei. a hurricane was blowing idiie to the efforts of the engine from an aerofilanct. then the cameraman stopped working, and. lo, an exciting scene was ready for a movie. I’m open fur an engagement any day.

No more now, NEYSA.

'1 lie aeeneK at tile wreek. where only the eliarreil renialiia of the dead were found: the niorttuei.

with their talea of death and ilieaxter: the Ihis

tdtals. with their tuilferinc and iiiiiiiful pleae. were all a aort of |irepurution for tlie eer^iee at tile (trave where all that reiiiained of tifty- aereii mortal lieintCN now lie huried. The teara

of huioau aympathy Kofteiied tlie liiipilened faeeH of thoiisandM wIiOKe hearte melted in a

<011111100 lause of grief aa the lust ritea were aald over the lamoreil dead. What we were

able to do for the |ioor atrieken aliownien waa

very limited. What we can draw from tlila common eatiiNtroplie remains to tie seen.

The first thing we tried to do. of eoiirae. was t<i learn who where injured, who had Ihsii

killed, who hud escaped, for The IlilllMcird is the one means of keeping o|ien the eliiiiimds of

commuiuaitioii ledween thousands of troii|HM>

i-irriis folk. oMidmir amusement purveyors of all kinds and tlio»c numerous thousands of |oi-ed

ones known as the folks at home. I'lioiisiinds of telegrams, telephone calls. |»r

sonal visits. Pticrs. inquiries and requests for information at once liegan to imhit into The ItilllMiard ottices. and the information thus

sought must tirst lie obtained from tlie circus

folk tlieiiiselves. This was hard to obtain, for even they theiiiselvea were unable to give this Inforuiatioii. Why?

The eirciia. like the theater, was at one time

under the liau of religious fanaticism. Those who entered its ranks did so at the loss of friends and kinfolk. The trou|H-r traveled under

an assumed name, the actor took a iiom de

plume. I'hia custom la all too prevalent tisla.r.

When the news of the circus wreck went

forth men journeyed half way across the coiitl tient itj seach of brothers or friends, all be-

< aiiM- the telegraiihic and jiostal machinery was

not able to reach the ones desired.

The system of circus .unimiinicution is limited by the lingering dread of the barlnirity of I'oiniiiercial eoinisdition. Itight here our

lyi eitiii and < liautainiua should learn from the i^rciis. W.' are drifting into the same nits Ttoui which the heart and brain of the show

world have sja'iit years and millions of dcdlars trying to extricate the sbowfolk.

Itiireaii managers have sunk so low into the

mire of their own iiicoinpeteni e that some of them liine t.ia'e it a part of their contract witli

talent that ii-i routes will lie given out. .\s a

result cliaiitanqiia people are almost as much the victiins .f igno'aiice as were the friends of the |H'cr victims of the circus wreck.

We have Iioiied that lyceum and iliautauqua fieople would liave the redldooded manliness to resist this encniaching. paralyzing practice, liut witli few* exeeptions the talent is aidieg In the pr<se«s of forging the deadly chains

of silence with which they are lieing enslaved.

Ikn't get red in the face and swell up width indignation, dear reader. Pon’t cuss Fred High and call him a fanatic. Just try your

own metal. Are you ready to send in your

route? If you have grit enough to do that then there will be no need of cussing anyone.

There was a time when there was an excuse

to take anotlier name, but that day la passing, if it has not already passed. The circus is

one of the greatest eriucstional institutions we

have in this country. It gives more for the money than any other form of entertainment or

instruction. The agricultural fair and the Chau¬

tauqua, togetlier with the circus, form the tripcsl uiMiii which popular education rests.

These three institutions are demovracy’s uni¬

versal educators—they prepare their text looks from nature and exiwrieme, and they

live by developing tin- lives of num and not by

promoting , tln' thoirics of bcsikwornis Thi-

street on bin- of our day know more alKsit

the f.o ts of nature than did the naturalists of even Sh'ikc'|M-are's da.v.

W'lo dii| most to dissipate the theories of

>o calb-d naturalists, wlm used much of even 'lieir p:etei-ie.l kiHiwIedge as a eliili. wliieh they

hebl over the |Msipb' and used as a means «if

frightening tin- uia"«-» into the tlieologbal fold

whicli ignorance and su|ierstltIon had erceted

for the souls of men? If cities tind it profltable to s|s-iid liiimlreds <if thuiisaiids <if dollars to niiiiiituin their zisw. how much more gratitude,

tlieii, does the nation tiw'e to the circus me¬ nagerie for the wonderful lessous in universal

knowledge taught to tlie children <if men liy this Itinerant zoo?

Circus and ctiantauqua iieople arc all edu¬ cators. We sIsMild Is- so proud of the great work of |H>puliirizing and dinusing tin- fundamentals of life tliat we sis'uld lie jealous of our name

ami the part we take in this great anil glorious work.

The cirrus, the stage and the platform will rise in dignity and imwer as they learn to ex¬

ploit men and women instead of gew-gaws and

tinsels. If Barnuui A Hailey still have (tower to draw tlie masses years after lliey are ileail ami tlieir names have a commereial value worth,

(Hohaos. n million dollars, tlien Imw luiieh more

leave behind aa immortal when we, too, are

called iqion to lay down our earthly toll?

A name and a known address is w<irth real mfmey to us all. AH' great men established an abiding |da<*e. Tbemlore Uuosevelt has Is-en one of <iur greatest .kmerican leaders, and Teddy

put tiyster r.ay on the map as soon as he left tile Wlilte House, lie did it for tlie same rea

son that KIlHTt Iliildiard always Isiokeil his owrn name witli tlie town of Hast .\urora, wliirb

is In Krie County, X. Y. Why has bighearted "Kd” HuIIard kept tlie name of Hagenheek-

Wallacc as a rallying cry wlien as a truth it is now the flreat ■•Kd” HuIIard bhow ?

The depths of degradation are reached when a convicted man reach«*s tlie fs-nitentlary and

Ids name is taken away from liiin and lie is given a numts-r for a name. Tlie heights of

anguish are reaihed wlien a mother is called

iiisiii to nusin for a loy or girl that Is lost. The greatest single tiling tlie International

l.yeenm and Chautauqua Assoi'iatlon has ever

done was to publish tlie names and addresses

of Its niemlirra. The greatest servh-e that the Showmen’s I.a-ague could render to the amuse-

m<-nt world would lie to publiali a roster of th«

men and women of .tmerica engaged in this w«irk. Yes. and the greatest advance In the

amusement, entertainment and educational world that we could all make would lie to so Impreas

these facts upon the minds and hearts of all that no one lint a coward, a crook or a sneak thief wiMild try to ih-grade these ancient, nobh-

iiislitiitions l>y entering their premises by dli-

guisiug Iheiuselves under an assumed nanie.

I.<'t us take hold of the truth smi stand like

he said: “.\ g'ssi name is rather to Is* els'sen

CHAUTAUQUA TD GET COOL RE¬ CEPTION

We see a ctJunin article in The Kentland (Ind.) Knterprise ruastlng the Central Com¬ munity Chautauqua System, saying, among

other tilings: “This ehautau*iua has been visiting

Kentland several years. Tbeir attraetiona were

Perry S, Pattirson was eb’Cted president of

the International Kiawanis Clubs at the conven tion held at Pnividene, R. I. We knew, when

we wrote our good friend Perry up in The Bill¬ board, that that would settle the race. He

will make a great president for a great organiza¬ tion.

Many of the chautauqnas are now past their

mid-season poet and arb really on the home

stretch—not a chautaieiua circuit that wc know of has dropped out of the race. This is a

censure which Koes on in clubs, res¬

It is all wrong.

A great profession suffers when its

leading lights enjoy no better standing

among men than do ours.

And it is ail so unnecessary’-

There is nothing wrong or even

blameworthy in a manager’s getting

a better price of admission than the

ruling one when his production scores

a big hit nor in charging a bonus for

the choicer seats, nor right now, when

the costs and risks of production are

higher than ever before, for endeavor¬

ing to tilt the whole scale of prices.

The trouble is not with what he

wants, but the way he goes about se¬

curing his ends.

The public loathes a ticket specu¬

lator. It regards him not only as a

nonproducer, hut as a petty larceny

thief, a low sharper and a grasping

grafter all rolled into one.

Furthermore it does not distinguish

between ticket agencies and ticket

speculators.

Mr. Ziegfeld’s press agent got him a

good deal of publicity out of the in¬

cident, but it would seem that he did

not secure it by telling the whole truth.

Instead it is alleged he only told such

part of the truth as would redound to

the credit of his employer.

This peeved quite a few papers.

The World, July 6, came out with

the following editorial, viz.:

“When profiteering theater man¬

agers and ticket speculators fall out

the public is enabled to see the inner

methods by which it is robbed. Thanks

to the row caused by^the efforts of

The managers’ dealings with the lat¬

ter are not open. On the contrary they

are confidential—sub rosa. Because of

this the public immediately jumps at

the conclusion that they are hidden,

because they will not boar inspection;

that they arc irregular, tricky, fraudu¬

lent and dishonest.

Suspicion and distrust rapidly deep¬

en into conviction. The manager is

the man higher up than the specu¬

lator, they reason, consequently he is

• more low down.

parent that the trail of ticket extortion

leads straight to the box-office. It is

charged by a firm of agents that the

manager in question proposed to sell

$3 seats to them for $3.50, which, w’ith

the double war tax and their own

premium of 50 cents added, would com¬

pel the purchaser to pay $4.40. It is

further alleged that managers get at

least 25 cents on every ticket han.-llcd

by one firm of dealers, or a total an¬

nual ’rakeoff from this firm alone of

$250,000.

it is a mild one compared with many

July 11.—At a meeting of repte- sentatlves of the Central Fair Circuit, held re¬ cently In this city, the circuit si-lmlule was completed and effort* were made to take care of tile transporting of the several hundred race horses ne.xt fall.

vlaitlng in the "enclianted isles"; The big Hrst Territorial Fair of Hawaii,

held recently, was an Immense success. Packed ’em all week with a re<‘or(l attendance of over 30,000 on June 10, Kamebanieha Day, the Fourth of July of the obi moiiarchioil days, atm celebrated by all nationalties here as a day of sports and event*. I wore a lei myself that day In memory of those golden days of years ago when youth was In the saddle and love, or near love, was the moat important thing In life. The scenic surrounding* of the fair at Kakiolani Park, where it wa* held, are the moet wonderful of any In the world, not even excepting the Pan-Pacifle at San Francisco.

Anyone from the State* would have been mr- piised at the exhibits—agricultural, manufac- taring, stock raising, sugar, coffee, fruits, etc.— that were her**; aometbing really remarkable and a credit to any big malnlana city, let alone this little spot tucked away in the ocean. The military end of it was aometbing that needs to be seen to be appreciated—Roman standing and chariot, aa well as running flat racee, tugs of war. battalion drills and army maneuver*. There was system to everything and on the big week the Rapid Transit handled over 400,000 fares and no accidents.

The Japanese night, with its interesting gelHha girls, jiu-jitsu and sword combats, wa* something not to be *een anywhere but here and in Japan. The Roden and exhibition of is^dng wild ateer* and bucking horses was never excelled by Cody's Wild West, and the army maneuvers of a night attack and charge wa* the moat realistic event Imaginable. Rifle and ma- chine gun lire, star shells, hand grenades, bugle* sounding orders, and all in the utmost darkness, except when the star shells lit up the supposedly No-M»n'a I^nd, certainly brought the horrors of war close to us.

JONES SET NEW RECORD AT CALCARY EXPOSITION

Despite Poor Crop Prospects in That Section of Canada Indications Point to Big Business

for Shows -Loss of Country Patronage Made Up by City Residents

Calgary, July 12.—Tbe first of the big fairs «n the Continent has Just been condiidfd at Calgary, closing July t>. It was bigger and bet¬ ter than ever, wliicli again proves that the war d<M-s not hurt this class of entertainment. The admissUms for this year were llfi.tHifi wrbich was b<>tter by a.Ki" than that of last year. Monday, July 1, was the big day and constituted for the Johnny J. Jones' Shows, that occupied the midway, a re<‘ord for carnivals in Canada, with the exception of one day in To¬ ronto. The writer is not at lilierty to give the exact receipts, but can state that they ex>'eede<i for the one day thp big r<-cord made l>y the World at Home Shows last year l>y eiaetly $2,88li. For the entire period of the fair the Johnny J. Jone“ Shows were $7,70t> in excess of the World at Uome of last year. The week’s business constituted not only a record for Can¬ ada. but, we believe, a recoid for the Continent. While July 1 was the biggest day July 4 was a close second.

Mr. Jones. Mr. Salter and Mr. Barkley wore a iierpctual grin, which was but a retleetl'in of jhe smlic of the fair din-ctors. some of whom had tieen rather pessimistic before tbe opening In regard to this year’s rei’clpts.

Your representative happens to lie ehairman of the A/ttractlons Committee, and, <'ons(sniently, can s(>eak with some autboritt when I state that the Johnny J. Jones Shows gave us tbe largest midway we have ever had, and all shows and concesalons reglBtere<l one bimdre<l per i-ent when it came to cleanliness and straight deal¬ ing. The World at Home set a high standard last year that reijulred a g(K>d deal to beat and it is suffleient to sa.v that Johnny Jones gave equal satlsfaetlon. The seating capaelty of the shows, taken as a whole, was the largest we have ever had, and thirty-one cars were re¬ quired to move them.

The platform attractions this year were in a class by themselves. They consisted of the Ap- dale Animal Act. Diineden Duo. Mori Troui>e of Jaiw. McDonald Trio. The Mallla Bart Company in the Furniture Movers, the Four Morok Sis¬ ters. tbe Four DanulH-s. the Four Bards, the Hamah .Aral>s and a big company of Hawalians. Thrills were supplied hy Miss I.iicile Belmont, who in her triple parachute drop gave one of the most sensational and satisfactory acts we bAvc ever had. Miss Katherine Stinson, who Is a very gnat favorite in Calgary, made two very g'Msl flights. July 5 and fi a number of the world’s grer.’est automobile drivers pm- vlded a racing program and drew a large at- tcndani'e on both days. Alex Sloan sui>erln- tPDded the aufi>mohile «-vcnts.

No accidents were recorded, with the ex¬ ception of Wild Bill Kndlcott. whose machine tore down a hiindreil feet of fence, but was ex¬ tricated very cleverly and without damage to anyone.

Miss Stinson, in making her last flight, under very unfavorable weather conditions, made a bad landing the last day, smashing her pro¬ peller and breaking the axle of her machine, but dr*ing no harm to herself.

The platform acts were supplied by Henry MeyerholT of New York City, who was [O-rsonally present in order to be sure that his people got away to a good start. Miss Klhcl Ilobinson. of Chicago, supplied Miss Belmont and the Ha- waaians.

Both the platform acts and the .Tohnny Jones Shows continue on the circuit of Class A fairs, dates for which are as follows;

Edmonton, Alta.. July S l.T: Saskatoon, Sask., July 1.V20; Brandon, Man., July 22-‘27; Itcgina. .Sask., July 29-Aug. 3.

The Fourth-]f July baa come and gone, and proved everything exiH-eted of it and more. Peoria, HI., waa a big atand. and the Fourth waa eelelirated In great atyle. It 1* a i-on- eervatlvo eatimate that in.dOO vieltors were entertained in and alHUit the city on the "day of days.” and Hie l<H-ation of the MelroiKilitun Knows (Eekwood 1‘ark, in the heart «'f the city and adjacent to the Isiat landing) was so central that It wag ditbenlt to miss. Everyls>dy re¬ ported banner business and the grounds were crowded to capacity from early morning to midnight. Ideal weather conditions preruilod.

All this was marred, however, by the terrible catastrophe that befell the illfated exeurmon steamer, t'olumbla. tbe following night. The shows bad been r-ontraeted in Pekin for week of

‘Vnly 8, and an excursion had been planned for Friday by the organization under whose aus¬ pices We were to show, to pay the shows an advance visit. The boat had landed early in the evening, and the horde of excursionists had enjoyed a merry evening visiting the at¬ tractions and getting ai-qnainted with the show- folk. ,\t n ::J0 the vessel's siren blew a fare- ■well blast and the gay party shouted their good-bys. Scarcely an hour later, and while most of the show people were in restaurants up town, the horrible news was flashed. Manager Barfield's automobile, as well as two others owned by menihers of the tronfie. were nislied to the si-ene of the disaster, and all night long aMisted if carrying the dead and injured to Pekin.

Mr. Barfield immediately canceled the en¬ gagement at Pekin, and Mayor Woialruff ex¬ tended him an Invitation to remain over here a second week. While liusiness can not be ex- pe<-ted to keep «p to a very satisfactory stand¬ ard with the lieavy pall of gloom anil sorrow- hanging over the city, the late notice would have meant a layoff for the week but for the Ifindly i-onsideration of Peoria’s estimable Mayor and other city oflleials. who have been loud In their praise of the sliows srjd the manner in which they have been conducted.

A sad feature <.f the disaster was that the leader in Promoter Tate’s popularity taintest In Pekin was among th<- unfortunates who Inst their lives. The chairman of Mr. Tate’s committee also was a victim. Tate himself was saved by a rairaele, as he remained over to talk on some matters pertaining tlie pngagement with Man¬ ager Barfield, inteihling to return on a street oar later.

The show goes to Verdun. III., the week eom- mem ing July 15.—WILI.ETT L. UOE.

it is a tine ehow. It Is to la- rt-grcHed that while all other

hranelies of file Inilusiry are Impn-eslng them¬ selves and Hieir im|Hirtanee on tbe <hiveminent Show men liave faiUsI, in this lustam-e at least, to eoii'ert the isiwers tliat be to tbe idea that it takes s|wH-lsllsts to pnt on • show. While it is given out by tlie management and Is lliortdy unilcrstisHl that the expoeiH>-n is for pr-'paganda purposes only and n«t a iiioney- niaking eiilerprlw. if is hard for Hie average sliowniau to see why the p<-nple’s money sliuuld not lie i-ouserved in giving a show as well a> by the jiiirchas*- of Thrift stamps or War Bonds.

T1m> hIhiw Is a gissl .ine. It eoold is- fraroed more attractliely. it is true, hut no one can tliid iiiuih to erlHelsi- in the display. The enormoiis. iinnisessary ex|>ense is what appalls. For instance, wliere a showman would have seeiir»-d flat ears for the heavy pleisw. Nix ears for the small stuff and two or three sleep*-™ for tlie issiple. the show management shlp|N-il all the material out here from the East liy ex¬ press. entailing, we are reliably informed, a huge transportation lilll. Oflleea and various head ifuartera on tin- grounds are made of liimln-r, rough, to tie sure, but tents would serve tbe l>ur|sisc and be more economleal. The show earriea arehlfei*ts ami sculptors, whereas if canvas were iis«-d Hiey would be iiiin«~-essary. Tile only sliowman on the staff is tYeit Hutelilson. who is lu charge of adinlesinns. — HH/..

McMAHON COMBINED SHOWS

Before the opening of the show laat May the management was somewhat skeptical regarding the business this season, thinking the war would cut the receipts, but to date business has been above the receipts of the same period last year. It seems as tho the people are show hungry.

The Frontier Days Roundup at Ogsllala. Neb., July 3-5. was a surprise to everyone, as It was the biggest July 4th celebration the ahow has ever had. Gov. T. W. McMahon has given his two sons to fncle Sam's service—Chts. .L. (our manager) and brother. Johnnie. Chas. A. went to Camp Fiinston and Johnnie enlisted In the navy, n.vde Calkins, talker on the Animal Show, and James Johnson, ccncessloner. were also drafted and left for Camo Fhinston. The companv now has fourteen stars on Its service flag. Col. Dan Brydon and wife, with their canine vlllaee. joined June 2.7. coming from the Landee-Bnrkbolder Shows. Mr. and Mrs. GsIT ney and S. F. RoMns<m. with Tom Blandln. the Cowboy Giant, from the Parker Shows. Joined June 2R. The trick now has twelve Paid attractions and twenty-five concessions. The big string of fairs start August 1 and run till the last of October. General Agent Doc Hall nsld the show a visit the 4th, bat left the next day.

CASEY MAKES A CHANGE

C. M. Casey, who has been press and special agent for'the C. A. Wortham Shows, has severed his connections with that conioany and entered the pnWlelty department of the North Dakot.i State Connell of Defense. The Council Is man aging several companies of the big government war film, Pershing’s Cntssders In Dakota, and Cgsey’s first duties will be with one of ♦hose

companies handling the publleitv. The Nortn Dakota Council believes in taking the shows to the people, and will send tent shows to the nir'l districts. The Inaugnrstlon of that densrtmeut will also be Caeey’s work for the present. Ills h'-adquarters will he at Bismarck.

P^ish I IVas Old

Enough to Fight'* Do you know what “Retreat” is in the Army? I always thought it was something about running away, or getting licked, or something. Only I knew our boys don’t run away and 1 often wondered about it. But last fall Mother and Sis and I were at an Army Camp where my brother is a First-class Private; he’s only nine¬ teen and he enlisted when War was declared. Well we were visiting him one evening, and the bugle blew, and the bo^s “Fell in,” and.at a command they all “Presented Arms,^’ and the sun was just setting and it seemed awful kind of quiet, like a noise had stopped when the sun went down. And the Colonel and his staff were standing there, when “B-o-o-m!” went a gun, and the band began to play “The Star Spangled Banner,” and the Color Sergeant and the Color Guard hauled down the Big Beautiful Flag, and there was a lump in my throat, but I didn’t want to cry. I was just GLAD, and gee! how I wanted to be old enough to carry a gun and “Present Arms” to the flag when the sun goes down.

But I’m busy these days in war gardens and it’s easy to earn money. And every cent 1 get I count up at sunset, and present it to the Flag—in WAR SAVINGS STAMPS. I’ll help lick those Germans yet.

About This Season’s New York Successful Productions

HITCHY-KOO, 1918 nitchy-Koo. 101*. Is now running as smootlil.T and evenly «s a perfe<-tly tooled, hnll-

liesring piece of machinery that has been snaked In oil. .AH the little soft spots, blem¬

ishes and draggy moments, inseparable from a new- revue aiul inevitable in the early days of its run, have been respectively flileil in and firmed, bleacheil or camouflaged and stimiiliilist and enlivened.

As a isinseqiieni-e if is witlHUit doubt the finest and best example of the pec uliar American style of entertainment. In wlileh It elasses. that has ever lieen reaehed. for. ts- It Liio»n. tlui hllbsl as a revue It Is not. It is just a girl iind miisie show—a gam -hut a duwering, a culuilnutlng, a crvwning achievement of ita kind—and the kind is all right. tlSl.

Mitchiss'k. Lism Errol and Irene BordonI are hilled as the features of tho show, and ileservislly so. but Hay Itooley, whose name iloes not oni-e emerge from the amall lyp*-. chimes resplendently. as does also Roy Cummings and the Kouns Slaters. For Miss Dooley espev-lally Iliteby-Koo, 1018, has spelt opportunity, quick and great fame, and. doubtless, fortune. Nu mure pronounceil. more sudden or more dazzling a hit bus ever been si-omsl on llmadway. She has fairly divided honors with all the rest of the cast since the o|H-niug. for the eritles and reviewers, even like the public Itself, are ever prune to overdo "the king is dead—long live the king" stuff.

But Ilitclossk is still there—"s saving and a stable grace,” who isintributea often and niiah to the gaiety of the show, and bis contributions not only flash with great iTilllanie. hilt bind, flavor, stahilixe and help i-arry the whole offering.

'ITic same can N- said as truly. If not in quite the saine measure, of the work of lasiii Errol, ami Irene BordonI is Just as easy to gaxe u|h»q as ever.

Every uiemls-r of the <-um|>aDy Is t-lever and deserving of eosiit in some degree for the wonderful siieci-ss of tile production. There are not "forty uniler twenty," but they're siMirly and lliey’n- plenty.

"niere is not a "blue" Hue. a "blue'' gag or a "blue” bit of business In Uitchy- Kmi. lltll. Every laugh is honestly earned by dint of sheer artistry.—W'.VXCilE.

NEW COMEDY STAR

1.0S Angeles, July 12.—Pretty, vivacious and

talented is what critics say of IT-year-old Elinor Field, tbe star whom James M, Sheldon,

of tbe Mutual Film Cori>oration, has selectetl to

be featured in Strand Comedies. These comedies

are not to be of the "slapstick, pie-eating" va¬ riety, but good, clean, humorous stories taken

from incidents of everyday life. Bi-ott Sidney

leased at the rate of one per week thru the Mutual exchanges.

SUGGESTIVE TITLES AS BAD AS SUGGESTIVE PLAYS

I'athc’s News s<‘rlal is showing a picture of

IJlIian Uiisseii speaking from the recruiting ship

at I’nion Square. The Professional Woman's la'aguc feels pardonably elated over tbe success

of their fellow niemlter, and especially so now

that Miss Russell has lieen made a .Sergeant of Marines in honor of her great patriotic work.

iMiss Russell, fair and fas<'lnating as ever,

promised to b*‘ a mother to any man who would

come up on deck and enlist. As the men tumbled

over each other to get there first the actress was

quite ts'wildered at the size of her rapidiv growing family. Shaking hands with them all

she charged them to "Uo and get the kaiser.”

Misleading Titles on Screen Dramas Great Detri¬ ment to the Industry and Gross Injustice to

Confiding Public — Offensive Title Worse Than Suggestive Story

Primarily the motion picture Is to entertain,

instruct, uplift and aniu-o-. It la for either one of these reasons tlist a man pays his admittani-e fee into the box office in the lielief that he

will receive in return an a|>preciahlc share of

cnji'yment and diversion coiiimciisurate with his expenditure. Here, then, l.a where the ma¬

liciously false, incorrect and iiiiKlcadlug title

of a screen drama works to the detriment of

tbe industry.

Buell salacious titles as Her Bisly in Bond. Pay Me In Advance, The Mortgaged Wife, The

Price of a (bssl Time and such Ilk grossly misrepresent the subject iiiattcr. for in many

instaiK-es these titles ilo not live up to the

licentious story indicati-d, and the purchaser of n ticket under the impression that lie Is goiiiu' to witness something of a spicy flavor and who

has been tricked by such camouflage feels a

righteous indignation at palpable dei'eptinn and

generally decides never to enter that theater again. So tbe manager, while endeavoring to secure patronage, has Iiwt another customer

because of dishonest dealing. In many instaiu-cs these pictures are passably

enjoyable and not a whit like Ihe title would Indicate. But they keep decent people away and the few low foreheads wIki are carious get

nothing for their money. It is such deterring mechanism In tlie making of foul pictures—or labeling them with a double meaning rapt cn — which will eventually undermine and bring

complete ruin to tlie motion picture industry. Clean photoplays spread liajipiness to ndliious

and the rcsponsitility to dignify tliis calling rests with the prislu'-ers and the exhliiitors who

offer their wares to the public. Erase tlic dis¬

gusting title with Its double nicming—blot out these nauseous contraptions that arc inim¬ ical to the development of the business.

The general piildic d's-s not want them, as wit¬ ness the rows of cniiity si-ats at a wcH-know-n New Y’ork theater, wliose patronage has dwindled to nothing lliru the showing of such deleterious photoplays. A "rosi- Iiy anv otlier name would

smell as sweet." hut an offensive title will kill

a fliui quicker than a suggestive story with a

clean caption. Our American civilization is being rebnllt

in the crucible of war. Help tlie motion picture

industry to asi'end with it and make itself felt as a real, essential industry—a help, not a

hindrance, to the war.

DECIDEDLY MEDIOCRE IS this commonplace story that ends up with the regulation courtroom

scene. There Isn't a new variation in the er.

story—nor a single twist in the plot to vary the monotony. A certain homely interest Is brought

into it thru the character of Pat, a liodcarricr.

who has elevated himself into the millionaire

class, and as Eileen, his daughter, Marger.v

Wilson carries a great deal of appeal. Wallace MacDonald, as usual, scores by dint ofTiis like¬

able boyishness, but outside of the cast, which is excellent, the productiua bolds no legitimate claim to pros|ierity.

Kennedy knowa how to focus attention to wring

teara and excite laughter; she is a whole show

In her own tnlmitable self. We can quote no other star better qualiffed to entertain thrn

the medium of the silver acreen than talented and unaaanmlng Madge Kennedy, .ks the soul-

hungry, timid working girl, longing for a soldier awe«-theart, ahe conveyed all the fear, the lonellneaa and patriotic emotion which beset

unattractive Marilyn March. Fortanately her

astute aanicers were alive to her capabilities

and supplied a scenario cooatrncted on Vurical foundation, and whose timely story > held a

wraith of charm and depth of feeling. Dra¬

matic intenaity, minus melodramatic tbrilla,

ruled strongly, and lack of arenir effects were

atimed for thru the great interest •-onveyed by the few well-drawn characters. M.sude Tamer

G4irdon waa a r<iDvlncing grande dame, with a

relined, expressive countenance that rtg.atered

perfectly. Credit la due Charles A. I.>gue, who wrote the very plaiiaihir scenario, with Ita nn-

iliTcurrcnt of purity and loyalty. A aplendid

cast upheld the continaity to the final fadeaway,

and the applause that followed attested the

gratification of the audience. Give na more pic¬ tures of tbla type and earn our nndylug grati¬

tude. We would spoil the atory with our in¬

ferior telling—go and see It—you’ll thank ns.

And aa for patriotism—it i» chuckful of it.

HER MOMENT

(Authors, Photoplays, Inc.—SEVEN PARTS— Featuring .\nna Ijitber, Directed hy Frank

Beal. Released thrn General Film Co.)

WHEN THIS PICTURE WA.S SCREENED THE CENSOR BOARD WAS ENJOYING A

THUR-stDAY OUT!

.\nd now our curiosity la piqued. Did “her moment” occur before, or after, her degredatlon?

of course in the light of minor events that is of little importance. Of more concern ia the cour¬

age of the producers who ask an intelligent

audience to sit thru ONE MOMENT of suih an unsavory performance witbont feeling a re¬ pugnance the unnecessary theme inspires. Web-

i-ter's definition of amusement Is vastly different

from what some film produ<-ers give it. This

narrative reeites the trlala of Katiiika and Jan. youthful lorera In a Balkan village; Jan's de-

parture for America, land of opportunity, while

the innocent girl ia sold by a brutal fatbei; to

Dmvich, keeper of a bonse of lllfame. Kept prisoner for two years. 8UbJe>-t to gross indigni¬

ties, the latter draggeil around the world as

tlie slave of her master. Fate brings them to

.krizona, wliere Jan has pro»p»Te<I as an en¬

gineer. Dravich' ia killed and Katinka uniterl in

marriage to her early love. This fllmization I'ontribntea nothing new to the screen, and can

aci-omplish no worthy results. To cater to the

h.sser passions is offering entertainment under false pretense*. A picture should inspire and up¬

lift and surely there are nobler and more In¬ spiring subjects for the scenario writer than

I lie corroding, debasing side of life. The day

of the white slave picture has happilr passed—

it accomplished no grawl when shown—only

served to kill the popularity of a theater .and

■lepresaed the people who witnesxsl it. The fllm-

ixation of HER MOMENT ia tngle in ita over

whelming realism, but must fail in Its efforts

to ixmvlnce our theatergoers that such things csinld exist In this enlightened age. The ciis-

tonia of the Balkan people can find 111 tie s.vm

pathy from the .knglo-Saxon race, wIhk-c conn

tries prohibit the sale of while women, and

such conditions arc not indigcniiuns to .kmerica.

.kiso it is not a pleasure to look upon the

parasitical beasts who. like moral leis-rs. fat

ten on the firlder of women's shame: or watch

their master lash their flesh until the spirit is

suNlued. No, It. is not a pretty sight to pay a

f*'e to witness, anil If snch is the habit of other

lands why uncover the rotten, cankerous son*s

plies food for thought, hut the ph.veical DOES ileteriorate nnder such conditions, and the basic

New York. July 13.—The act with whieb Harry

written for him by Arthur B. Reeve* and

Charles .k. Logue. This film will lie the first

picture produced by the B. A. Rolfe Productions

serial. Aside from the tempting financial offer

the famou:^ magician was lured to the screen

bei-auae in this way bis great art of illusion will be banded down to posterity. All the

thrills of the stage and more are promised in

the screen protlnction. which, hy the way, has

THE VAMP

I low to .scrept this photoplay i.s a problem.

-kftcr patiently waiting thru three tedious reels for s<iiiiething to ilcvelop besides a reiietl-

tion of kisses and g-Ki goo eyes nothing interest¬ ing iM-(-urs except the startling appearanee of^a

wealthy mine owner in Ore Junction, Pa., wear¬ ing a Prince .klla-rt atul high silk hat. in the

dusty cimI regions. Perhaps it was the desire

of the actor to appear somewhat above his com¬ panions. and he certainly was conspicuous by

his appearance. 'Tis said that Thomas H. Ince auperviscil this production. But did he? The

mild little affair is long on dnilness, short on in¬

terest. Without logic or appeal the end la in sight long before the play is half over. This

same material has serve<l for numerous screen

plays and bandletl very niui-li Itetter by its prede-

ces-sors. Enid Bennett is all eyes and there is a

constant sameness in her work. No doubt this is due the threadbare scenario, which offers

her no opis>rtunity to display her natural ability,

for she has demonstrated in former releases that

she can give a good jierformance when per¬ mitted. There are no emotional heights, no sns-

pense, no dramatic moments, and the ortllnary

story do<‘.s not affe<'t the spectator. Character*

are dragged in witbont any particular motive

and the interest is not the least bit boliliog. We would like to see .Miss Bennett in a role suited to her umloubteil talents.

Ur when he hN>k> ueruKH the hea of friendly faeea literally ‘'paek ing tbe bouse from psrguet to gullery," h.ing ing among tbe rafters, up against the eeiliiig silhouetted in windows and doors, with n do/.eii or more iwrohed up on the roof, ix-eking Ihm the ventilators, bis mind reverts to tlie tiiii bark in bis bometown “oiwry house” when he, too. risked bis sturdy, young iimhs to “sneak a peek" at tbe show from the roof of the adjoin log building.

In a breety Teln Bradley -nrltes; “We were playing in a barracks Immediately off a railway track o|>ening onto the dts'ks when half way thru tbe ]irogram a fire broke out. Then tbe fire brigade arrived. ‘Oh. Isiy,’ nothing seemed to matter a bit. An engine and JS trucks swung merrily past the large windows Immerliately at tbe side of tbe stage and alsnit US |>er cent of our audience Juuiiied up and left for fire duly.

"It is unite a curious eX|H-rieuce to have a ter¬ rific iiomliardnient d|«‘n from various caliber guns, big and little, apparently aliout 1(10 yards to the starboard of tbe harn In which you are doing a stunt. You are likely to time your ‘gag’ a little tisi unickly at that moment, es- peciaily as you see .''Ski |>airs «if eyes turned to¬ ward the iloor. Then you learn, after tbe show, that it was only a practice attack!

“Three nights ago we played in a tent. Shortly after the show we were consiioiis of an awful clatter going on. and the secretary asked Us to Kin-ak a little louder for the benefit of those at tite back, ‘as the steam sliorel was working.'

“On another occasion we were playing to an audience of l.L’dO. Hut wlien, the idano urriv<'d it was so Isds-less you <s>nld not siday a har monious chord, so we had to do without. Tlo- electric lights went out almost at the start. I told stones while tliey got cainlles anil electric torches, and everything passiM off all right.”

July 10.—The* success of the manaycement of lliihcr’s Museum on the Ruwery Is easily understandable when one takes Into consideration the excellence of the show “upon the Inside.” John Hranch Is the very cajMthle manatcer and la continually catering to the welfare of ymtrons. Flossie La Itlanche. In her sensational exhibition of

strenKth. Is a very unique feature of this entertainment palace. Lady Yava. the mind reader, also under Miss l.a Itlanche’s manaKement. Is eausinR much comment with her almost uncanny mental powers. Sir Kduard S|H*ttlnle. one of nature’s most remarkable phenomena, attracts much attention. Paul IVsmuke. the armless musician. Is probably the peer of all In his |>articular line, while F. tJ.

Frefl, prompt and far-famed, the Mail Forwarding Service of The Billboard stands alone as a s<afe and sure medium through which professional people may have their mail addressed. Thousands of performers and showfolk now receive their mail through this highly efficient departmenL

Mail is sometimes lost and mix-ups result because performers do not write 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 when it is FIRST advertised. The following is the key to the letter list:

Cincinnati .(No Stars) New York.One Star (♦) Chicago .Two Stars (••) St. Louis.Three Stars (•••) San Francisco .(8)

If your name appears in the latter list with stars before if write to the office holding the mail, which you will know by the method outlined above. Keep the Mail Forwarding Department aupplied with your route and mail will Le forwarded without the necessity of advertising it. Postage ia required only for packagea—letter service is abso¬ lutely free.

Mail la held but thirty days, and ean not be reoovorad after it goes to the Dead Letter Office.

Mail advertised in this issue was un- ealled for up to last Sunday noon. All requests for mail must be signed by the party to whom mail ia addressed.

Are You One of the Thousands? Am you one of the thoueande who are daily having Tha Billboard'a

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

on the same day they are received. In fact, many of our elianta are not put to the neceseity of writing for their mail mora than onca or twica a aeason.

Tha letters advertised in this iosua are hardly five per cant of those that past thru our Cincinnati and ita affiliatad branch ofheea.

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

It it unnecessary in writing for mail to uas a salf-addrassed and stamped envelope—A POSTAL CARD WILL DO. Give your route far enough ahead to permit your mail to raach 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 tha Dead Letter Office. It is desirable to write for mail when your name FIRST appears in the Met. Address your postal to “Mail Forwarding Sarvica, The Billboard.”
