THE LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE STARTS SEPTEMBER 28 THIS ISSUE CONTAINS 32 PER CENT ADVERTISING AND 68 PER CENT READING MATTER

GOD DAMN THE KAISER Say it, not irreverently, but passionately, piously and patiently, each and every day until

SEPTEMBER 28 and then get on God’s side and help Him to do it, FIRST by subscribing for Liberty Bonds yourself and SECONDLY by consecrating your services to the drive September 28 to October 19.

There must be no dodging, no stalling, no sidestepping. Evervbodv must come across and to the extent of JUST TWO AND TWO-THIRDS

OF WHAT THEY TOOK LAST TIME. YOU must. YOU are going to be in the thick of the drive, exhorting, supplicating, commanding and

compelling others to dig. ALL SHOWFOLK are. They are not going to weary of well doing and slip from the proud position they occupy by reason of their superb work in the first three drives.

Nothing will serve to put pep in your pleas, punch in your arguments and steam behind your claims, assertions and representations like the sustaining knowledge that you practice what you preach—and practice it first.

You may begin to lay your plans, make your preparations, list your talking points, write and memorize vour appeals and get ready for the campaign generally now, but you must START THE DRIVE BY SUBSCRIBING FOR YOUR OWN BUNCH OF BONDS. Then, and not until then, will you be properly primed to GO AFTER THE HESITANT, THE PROCRASTINATORS. THE FAINTHEARTED AND THE DARENOTS.

Evers’body can and evervbodv MUST subscribe for TW’O AND TWO-THIRDS OF WHAT THEY TOOK OF THE THIRD ISSUE.

Panng for them vnll be easy. It is simply a matter of new and fresh economies, and there are so many possibilities in

that direction which we ha\ e not yet even considered that we will be able, when they are dis¬ covered and instituted, to meet the pajmients without the slightest difficulty.

They say that there is not a single belly left in all Germany, yet the Huns continue to oversubscribe their war loans.

We have not even shrunken a single one of ours, yet as long as we boast bellies it must not be said that we lack guts—never.

It is unthinkable—preposterous! But $8,000,000,000 is some tidy sum and will require a little effort. So we had best begin to get into the proper frame of mind. The advice first given above

should prove helpful thereto. Therefore, not irreverently, but earnestly, devoutly, fer\ddly once each day until September 28, sav

PRODUCERS APPEAR BEFORE SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE

Present Protest Against Proposed Twenty Per Cent Tax on Theater Tickets—Claim Increase Would

Be Ruinous to Business and Reduce Government’s Revenue

WashinRton, D. C.. Sept. 14.—A dele-

{ration of theater owners and producers

appeared before the Senate Finance

Committee Wednesday to protest

against the proi>osed 20 per cent tax

on theater tickets. The side of the

owners. manaftPrs and producers was

presented by Marc Klaw, Henry W.

SavafCP and Winthrop Ames.

They told the committee that the 10

per cent tax which has been in opera¬

tion had hit the theaters hard, Mr.

Klaw estimating that there had been a

failing off of ten per cent in attendance

as a result of the tax. To double the

tax would be nothing less than ruinous

to the theatrical business, they asserted.

It would not only drive the small pro¬

ducers out of business, but would

actually reduce the (lovernment's rev¬

enue from the amusement tax.

“Instead of yielding a greater rev¬

enue," said Mr. Klaw, "the proposed

tax of 20 per cent w ill close many thea¬

ters. thereby reducing the yield.

“It is all very well to say that the

New York theaters can stand any tax.

but New York is not the nation. Our

experience has been that the theaters

thruout the country have been hard hit

by the war. We are willing to go the

limit, but tion't make it Impossible for

us to do the big things and the fine

things we want to do in connection with

the war.

“An Important agency for (lovern-1

hient propagtinda is shut off if you close

the theaters.” Mr. Klaw added. “The

theater is needed in war time. The

people must have relaxation. In F'rance

and England they are encouraged,

ing territory, the pioneers, the Indians,

anil displays that will reflect the growth

of the city from its inception to the

present day, featuring among other

things old Fort Dearborn, the Chicago

events of the past. This feature of the

display will be brought up to date and

will have reproduced in miniature the

|)ubllc buildings, both county and city,

including the City and County Build¬

ing, the Federal Building, the Public

schools, the colleges and other institu¬

tions of learning in order to clearly dis¬

play what they are and what they are

accomplishing for the people.

Fire and Insurance dis.ilays will be

another interesting feature. This will

not only feature fire protection, but will

also teach fire prevention, as regards

building, home furnishing, etc. Under

this heading will also come water sup¬

Expels Editor A. E. Cringle

1. L. A. Convention Starts in

Serious Sessions, With

Exceedingly Warm

Times Ahead

Chicago. Sept. 16.—The International

Lyceum Assiniation Convention started

off with unusual interest on account of

the case of Hev. .Xrthiir E. Gringle,

whose temporary susi»ension from tho

organization last April has caused a

great deal of discussiop. Rev. Gringle

was brought before the Executive Com¬

mittee on Saturday and given a com¬

plete hearing in open session. In his

defense he admitted that the articles

which the committee had taken him to

task for publishing were pro-German

iind tliitt he would not write them now

if be liad it to do over again. He also

stated that it was the reprinting of

tbi-se aricles in The Rillltoard which

caused all tlie protest of the local board

of defense in Indiana to prefer the

charges against him. The committ*'*'

mtiile out a very st*-" g case against

Itiin and their action <«as unanimous in

making the temporary suspension per¬

manent. Tlie committee stated that if

Ite w ished to appeal from their decision

he could do so, and set 10 o’clock Tues¬

day morning as the hour in which the

convention would hear his appeal.

There is a general feeling current thru

the convention that he will not appeal

from the decision.

Just a word of explanation is prob¬

ably not out of place here. Since Dr.

Gringle .said at the hearing that his

trouble was started by The Billljoard.

and as Fred High is editor of the Ly¬

ceum and Chautaui|ua Department, it

is no more than right that a few fact.s

b»' given bearing on this ease.

First—There has been no disposition

to turn a trick against Mr. Gringle just

hectiuse he is a competitor, as the

Doctor stated in his defense before the

committee. When war wtis declared

by this country we felt that it was our

duty to cease discu.ssing peace and do

Shouldn’t Tax Service Men

New York. Sept. 16.—The Actors’

Equity Association will meet today for

the purpose of perfecting plans for the

organization of the fund to care for

wounded actors.

The idea of a fund to care for

wounded and disabled actors was

broached at a meeting held two weeks

ago and has aroused much favorable

comment.

Geo. Arliss. who has been acting as

chairman of the temporary organization,

last week replied to the public letter of

Daniel Frohman. president of the Actors’

Fund of America, explaining that the

former association was by no means to

be considered as a charity. He states

that inasmuch as the aim and object

of Our Wounded Actors’ Fund is so en¬

tirely different from The Actors’ Fund

that it had not occurred to its pro¬

moters that they would in any way en¬

croach upon the prerogatives of the

older organization, and there never was

any thought of belittling or interfering

with the w’onderful charity so admir¬

ably conducted by that splendid body

of men, of whom Mr. Frohman is the

head, when plans were made for the

organization of the association for tlie

care of the wounded actor-soldiers and

the maintenance of their widows and

orphans. In most emphatic and con¬

cise terms Mr. Arliss makes it be known

that the object of Our Wounded Actors’

Fund is not to be regarded in the light

of a charity, but as a testimonial in

appreciation and admiration of the

sacrifices the actor-soldier will be com¬

pelled to endure In his brave defense

of his country’s honor. Not only are

these fighting professionals, who return

maimed and wounded, to be kept out

of the poor house, but they are to be

maintained in actual comfort until such

time as they can be put in a way to

earn a decent liv*‘lihood for themselves.

The Actors’ Fund has no provision for

such maintenance—the most they are

permitted to give is $5 or $7 per week—

while the new organization will be in a

position to allow not less tlian $25 per

week, besides supplying every comfort

during the period of reconstruction.

And there is no provision in the old

fund for the care of the wives and

cliildren. They are not sick, therefore

do not come within the scope of the

Actors’ Fund, but it is within the prov¬

ince of Our Wounded Actors’ Fund to

seek out such cases and give assist¬

ance where needed.

busincM.

New York, Sept. 14.—Sam H. Harris,

the theatrical manager, says it hurts

him every time he sees a man in uni¬

form pay war tax on theater tickets,

and suggests that this is a point it

might be well for Secretary McAdoo

and other prominent Government of¬

ficials to consider. These men, all eager

for entertainment, generally have very

little money to si>end and the extra

10 per cent of the face value of admis¬

sion tickets is a real burden. Mr.

Harris says these men, who are giving

up everything for their country, should j

be relieved of the payment of the war'

tax, and is of the opinion that if the

condition was called to the attention

of McAdoo he would cause some sort

of an amendment to be made relieving

active service men from this theater

NEARING THE END

Is White Rat Investigation

Next Hearing Probably the Last —Will Take Considerable

Time for Referee To Make Decision

New York, Sept. 14.—The investiga¬ tion for an accounting of the funds of the White Rats Actors’ Union, ordered by the Supreme Court before Referee Lewis Schuldenfrei, is nearing its final stage.

Before the proceedings officially opened yesterday a wordy wrangle took place between opposing counsel as to the authority of the Referee to order Goldie Pemberton, the petitioner in the case, to appear before him. Mr. Myers, for the resjMjndent union, claimed to have discovered a precedent which gave the Referee the desired authority, but Alvin Sapinsky, for Miss Pember¬ ton, handed in a brief which he stated positively showed that such a procedure was outside the Referee’s jurisdiction.

Tlie Referee himself seemed unde¬ cided as to his power, and stated that he would still further reserve decision until he liad time to find his exact status in the matter.

As compared with last week’s hear¬ ing the session yesterday was like a calm after a storm. Nothing happened tliat could have much bearing on the final outcome.

The first witness was William P. Conley, who at one time was a member of the Board of Directors of the White Rats and a Chief Deputy Organizer.

Conley admitted that he read the financial statements of the union at various meetings. He knew Goldie Pemberton by sight, and remembered that she was present at at least two meetings when the statements were read, but that she made no protest as far as he could remember.

“Did any member ever criticize these financial statements?'’ asked Mr. Sap¬ insky.

“Very often one or two would get up and a.sk what this or that item was for, and they would be answered from the chair.”

“Was there any resolution ever passed NOT to read reports at the

Vaudeville Reviews By Special Wire

IF'.KElT'ff’S

mmCETiPTEK ^Ihikvjca^2ieh(^

(Reviewed Monday Matinee, September 16)

New y ork, Rrpt. Ifi.—Th<* longest box-office line of the season was In evidence at the Palace today. Kven before 12 o’clock it became necessary to open ui) another ticket window, owing to the crowds surging in the lobby. Vaudeville today stands pre-eminent as the b“st bet in the show business, and

the Palace represents the highest pinnacle to which this form of entertain¬

ment has yet reached. The holiday throngs today blocked the entrance to the

theater. It was not the usual Monday matinee audience, but it was a go<><l- natured crowd, giving nearly every act a reception and thoroly enjoying the show. An acrobatic act that some weeks ago opened the show here was in closing position today and did splendidly.

N'o. 1—Palace News Weekly stirred up a whole lot of enthusiasm with scenes from “Over There.”

No. 2—The Boyarr Company of Russian singers and dancers, in a beau¬ tiful setting, showing the Kremlin in Moscow, opened the show. Their offer¬ ing is mildly pleasing, the atmosphere created here by Kosloff still remaining. One of the male members of the troupe is clever, but the act lacks pep and ginger. In full stage, with three curtains.

No. 3—Sergeant Bowman and Corporal Shea, presented by the U. S. Tank Corps, who turn their salary over to the U. S. Tanks Welfare League.

These two real soldier boys could travel the big time on merit alone. One sings rather well and the other tells a gripping story of his experiences in

going over the top. They offered first-class entertainment, which was much relished. In addition to their undoubted vaudeville ability one feels a thrill

at seeing two boys who have already done their bit so happy and contented, laughing it up with an audience, knowing full well that they shortly return to

France. Went over to a gigantic hit.

No. 4—Moonshine, presented by Arthur Hopkins, featuring Edmonds Hayes. Here is a vaudeville gem. Only two people are in the cast—two men

—but while it has to do with moonshiners and revenue officers and is a tabloid

drama, it abounds with comedy, owing to the masterly way Hayes reads his lines. It is one of the very best vehicles this capable actor has ever had to

exploit his many sided ability. The action does not drag and the punch is

there at the climax. Hayes, as the moonshiner, is assisted by Richard

Hutchins as the revenue man, who cleverly gets away from his captor. The

little play is a classic. In special set; several curtains. No. 5—Williams and Wolfus repeated their laughing hit. Williams, if pos¬

sible, being funnier than ever. His business at the piano was a scream today, Willie Miss Wolfus’ singing received applause. This act they are doing now is a sure-fire hit, Williams’ drollery being unique and different. He even looks fu.my. They took seven bows, encores and more bows. In one, for eighteen

eighteen minutes. No. 6—(ieorge White, with his quartet of dancing beauties, remained for

his third triumphant week with his new dancing act. The nimble, nifty White, with his assistants, received many bows and curtains today.

INTERMISSION

No. 7—Avon Comedy Four were the real big hit of the show. They opened

up in the kitchen of a restaurant, with a lot of cros^-fire comedy, which got them hearty laughs. Their singing is probably the equal of any quartet on the stage, but their strong forte is comedy, not of the slapstick variety, but derived from the proper handling of cleverly written material. Their harmony

finish in one got for them several encores and many bows. No. 8—Valeska Suratt came back to the Palace in The Purple Poppy. Miss

Sursitt scored a big success last winter here with this little jilay, but since

then seems to have become somewhat stagey and her reading of the part of

the suplHisedly chorus girl, who in reality has been ordered by some Russian

society or other to kill a Russian autocrat, does not seem so effective as upon her last apiiearance. The Irish butler was impossible and the Russian lJuke

lacked dignity. The setting was pretty. Seven curtains. No. 9—Ruth Roye, looking very chic, full of life and vivacity, romped on

and sang songs about getting the fellow who wakes the bugler up. She has a good repertoire of .songs and iileased immensely. Several bows.

No. 10—Darras Brothers closed the bill with a very fast acrobatic offering

and received many plaudits.—HILLIAR.

TUB MAM. THAT CAMB TOO BATE

The Club BulIetiD Board Is carrying a draw-

in« hy James McBride that certainly carries all

punch for anyone who has a relatire or close

friend among the hoys on the other side. * The

drawing is entitled the mall that came too late,

and shows on one side a fac-simlle reproduetlon of a letter in a distinctly feminine hand, which reads as follows;

New York City. My Dear John;

Beceived your letters, asking me why I haven't writt<-n to you. To tell you the truth I have iH-eii on the go eontinuall.v lately, hut I took the Hrst opportunity to answer your let¬ ters.

You ask me if I have forgotten you. Silly! Of course 1 liaven't. I love to hear from you, and when y->ii come hack you’ll find I am still your pal.

In the future I'll try and be more prompt In answering jour letters.

With lots of love. DOK.V.

On the other side of the drawing Is a fac¬

simile reproduction of an envelope, addresse<l

as follows: Drivate John Smith, Tfk^tb Inf.,

A. E. F., France, and across the face of the en¬

velope Is stamped In large letters the single word, "missing.”

get laughs, and because he is a shining example of what experience

teaches. At the Palace Theater Monday m.'itinee.

Theodore Kosloff, because amidst a maze of esthetic ballerinis and

exotic, settings his every movement is manly, because he has the grace of a fawn and the energy of a dyncamo, because he has learned American showmanship, because women rave about him, and because his act closed the show and kept everybody in. .\t the Palace Theater Monday matinee.

AI Carpe, bwause he is one of the real violin players on the vaude¬

ville stage, because he is not content with ordinary selections, Vvecuusc his sense of humor asserts itself In between the serious numbers, because

he would go big at the Palace next to closing. At the American Roof Monday evening.

W illiarrs and Wolfus, because they were the laughing hit of the

IN SAN FRANCISCO (Box’s Beisetions)

Emily Ann Wellmar’s strong war drama, %Miere Things Happen, with just enough pathos and blended comedy to make the piece Interesting, is a furore. The cast consists of Scott Moore, Arthur Edwards. Edward Power, Luclle Dorrington, Grace Vale, Emile La Croix and Alice May.

They put the piece over with a punch. Each scene takes place in the

seml-iiarkness of the trenches, with well directed sixjts and effects.

SAM HOWE'S TIIEATKIOAE PRODrCINO

CO., INC., presents Tlir HuttrrfllrR of Broad¬ way in a I>ay at Miami. Kla. Book and

production staa'^d under the jwniona! direc¬ tion of Sam Howe.

THE CAST:

riiilip On Booze .Jim Cousiiiin Ezra Witherapoon .Jim Coughiin Moe Finniaky .Sam Howard Jay Bunkem Oood .Baaii Buck I). G. Filmnut .I.eater Dorr Rainbow M'-Cloud .Uuk Flaig Vera lliahnote .ileien Tarr Maaitie Maloney .Hattie Beall Winona Weaterrelt .Grace Tremont Alma Weatervelt <mother of Winona). .Jeannette Cobert

Sam Howe baa a abow that la big in quality

and quantity.

Tbe Bcenerj ia new, tbe atage settings novel

and unique.

The electrical effects are exceptionally fine.

The costumes are great in variety and changed

frequently.

The colorings In scenery, electrical effects and • ostuming run to rainbow hues, which blend harmoniously.

The company Is unnsually large—nine prin¬

cipals, eighteen girls and six boys, each and

every one an nrtiat in their particular line of work.

There is a sequence of many and varied

laughprovoking situations that kept the Thurs¬ day night audience highly amused from the rise to final fall of curtain.

Jim Coughlin and Sam Howard are talented

comiques of the* highest order. As langk- getters they register every moment tliey arc

upon the stage and they arc on the stage most of the time to the delight of the audience.

Coughlin, in the first act, is an eccentric in makeup and mannerism; in the second act a genteel Kube.

Howard, in the first act, is the familiar

Hebrew comedian and in the second act ap¬ peared in evening dress.

Basil Buck is a rapid feeder, who works well

with the comics and makes a gntxi stage presence.

I.ester l>orr, as the Juvenile, manifests dra¬ matic ability.

tJus Flaig, as tlie colored porter and butler, looked and Jilayed liis part well.

Helen Tarr is one of those statuestjue blonde tH'aiities who can act, sing and wear beautiful

gowns gra<’efully. Her work thruout the per¬ formance was exi-elleiit.

Hattie Beall is an attractive artist of real merit in a<'ting, singing and dancing. Her Eva

Tangiiay eitarueterizution was ei|ual from our personal view|ioiiit to the original.

tiracc Tremont is u speedy little damsel who looks good and works well in her part.

Jeannette Cobert makes an attractive stags

picture. Her Tocallsm Is of tbe operatic order that calls for encores.

The chorus—youth and beanty congenially combined.

COMMENTS

Space will not permit a detailed review of the acts and scenes. Sufflee It to say that there

are several innovations that make good bur-

les<iue. There Is a traffic cop stunt that is

great. The funny face wager is really funny. The auto farce Is highly amusing, the motion

picture rehearsal a laughgetter. and the ban¬ quet B<-ene gives all the principals ample oppor¬ tunity to make good—which they do.

Sam Howe apparently em-ourages his chorus

girls to demonstrate their individual talent, and

several did in the serenade number. The Kewpie

Kid caught the audience in a re<*eptive mood.

No. 3 put her song lines over smoothly. The

Itussian dancer and A La Emmett Yodeler as¬ sisted in stopping the show, for the girls were

recalled several times. Why the slender blonde with the captivating smile and hypnotic eyes

failed to come forth is beyond understanding, unless she Is applause shy. The chorus in this

show is a credit to the director of ensembles,

and Sam Howe’s entire show is an asset mor¬

ally. physically and financially to every show

on the Columbia Circuit, for it is shows of tbia calilter that elevate burlesque.—NELSE.

Judging from the applause that greeted Charlie Robinson on his stage appearance on

Thursday last Tbe King Pin of Stage Tramp- ology is more popular today than ever before.

Mr. Robinson has given to tbe .American

Wheel houses a show that will make burlesque history at the end of the current season. The

scenery Is new and plentiful, making stage pic¬ tures that add to the attractiveness of the pre<q>ntstlon. The costumes worn by the ladles

are unusually expensive and tasty.

There is a humorous story running thruont

the two arts based upon the desire of an at¬ tractive Woman to train a caveman to ths

semblance of a sweetheart and husband of mod¬ ern accomplishments.

.A1 Raymo, as the Italian caveman. Is not onl.v an exceptional c<>me<ilan. but a talented

dramatic actor. His characterization of ths

tyi'ical Wop is a realistic portrayal of a bard

impersonation t<* make suci'essfully.

Hal Groves, as a lovesick lad in the first act

and Moonshine Pete In the second act. Is also a come<lian and actor of ability. Fred Slgcl,

as genteel eccentric In the first a<'t and

New wed In the second act, did well in both

characters. Billy Clark, as a promoter in the

first act and a hustler in the second. Is that and then some.

Marion Benson, as the Animal Ijover, imper¬

sonating a mansize monkey in the first a*'! and Muthusalem, a bar maid, in the second act, as

a real character actor Is one of the best in

burlesque. Afay Bemhanlt, as a Ms-ial reporter In the

VAN ALSTYNE IN MINNEAPOLIS

Noted Composer Fulfills Theatrical En¬ gagement in Interest of His

Latest Song ■

Chicago. Sept. 14.—Egbert Van AIsfync, J. n. Remlok & Co.’s star composer, is in Minne¬

apolis. fulfilling a theatrical engagement in the interest of Kor Tour Hoy and M.v Hoy. his latest

song, which iias been adopted as the official Na¬ tional Anthem of flie Fourth Liberty T.oan or¬ ganization.

Tlie following letter is self-explanatory:

“Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 12. “Song Editor. Hillboard:

“The reception accorded me while I am in¬

troducing Kor Your Hoy and My Roy even sur¬

passes the splendid one I received in this part of the country when I introduced What Are You

Going To Do To Help the Hoys? I have every

confidence that the new number will prove f.ar

more effective during the Fourth Liberty I-oan

campaign than my former number was during the third big drive. I’ersonally, I think it a far

better number, written in a more dignified vein.

1 have written many aongs during the last

twenty years, but if I am destined to provide

an anthem masterpiece comparable to nhat my In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree was in a

rather meaningless way. I feel certain that thet song will be For Your Boy and My Boy.

“(Signed) EGBERT VAN ALSTYNE.”

McCARRON & MORGAN’S LATEST

Biagers a chance to forget them. They are in the market at all times with something new. Belinda, Mammy’s Pickanniny, I’m Glad I Made

also from their prolific pens—or keys—as you will.

TWO ARMY SONGWRITERS

New York, Sept. 14.—Being in the army don’t

seem to interfere with a writer’s ability to pro¬ duce new stuff and good stuff at that. Leo

Feist has published two songs, both written by

army song leaders, K k-k-katy, a stammering

song, by Geoffrey O'llura, and the other, a

rollicking number, by Robert Lloyd, entitled

Good Morning, Mr. Zip-Zip-Zip. ,\nother Feist

number. My Belgian Rose, by a trio of writers,

George Benoit, Robt. Stevenson and Ted Gar-

ton, bids fair to find u place in the hearts of the sympathetic.

budding genius, be received a cold shoulder,

even when he offered his songs for nothing, only asking that he see them in print. He went

back iKime, not disheartened, but with the de

termination not only to have his songs publlslw'd On Broadway and sung all over the country,

but to become a Broadway publisher himself.

That was Harry 11. Pace, president of Pace A Handy Music Company, with offices recently

transferred from Memphis, Tenn., to 1547 Broad¬ way. These two hustlers ire the origiiatora

of a distinctive style of music known as the

blues, and among their many successes of half

a hundred or more are the Memphis, made popu¬

lar by Bert Sw-or; Jogo. St. Louis, Beale Street and many other blues, sung by the tupliners all

over he world. Bert Williams, the star of

Ziegfeld’s Midnight Italic, is adding to his f.nrae by bis rendering of their latest, O Death,

Where Is Thy Sting, and A Good Man Nowa¬ days Is Hard To Find, an unusually attractive

ijiiniber, is popular with vaudeartists.

ROUSING WAR SONGS

New York, Sept. 14.—Everywhere one hears

patriotic war songs, and it seems as tho the pnb- 11c could never get enough of them. Three clever rousing war songs, which are even in the

phonograph records, are What Yankee Doodle

Says Ue’ll Do, He’ll Do; Bobby, the Bomber, and A Rainbow From the U. S. A. This latter song is popular on the Hut Circuit overseas.

S. R. HENRY’S NEW HIT j New York, Sept. 14.—Reports from orchestra

leaders and musicians in general say that

the Kentucky Dream, new waltz composition by I S. R. Henry and D. Onivas. writer.s of Indian-

ola. Is of unquestionable merit. The siuipllclty

and beauty of the three strains of the waltz ami

their originality causes immediate recognition

wherever the number is played. A lyric is being

written by Frank H. Warren, author of the

words of lodiano’.a, and the song will be launched

as soon as the instrumental arrangement has

had a good start. Stem 4 Co. arc the pub-

li.'hers.

NEW SONG BY MAX CLARK CO.

Chicago, Sept. 14.—The Max Clark Co., music

publisher of Macomb. III., reports excellent re¬

sults from the sale of 0. 1*. Woodworth's pa¬

triotic march song, entitled America, the Land We Lore the Best. Tho band arrangement of

this song is also taking well. G. Birignanu's

Banda Roma, of Chicago, is featuring it on Its programs played at aeveral largo Illinois County Fairs, and it goes over big every place

it is played.

THOSE DRAFTIN’ BLUES

New York, Sept. 14.—Maceo Pinkard. noted

for many syncopated successes, in bis latest

effort. Those Draftin’ Blues, created a sensation, particularly in the West and the South. Being

of colored extraction, Mr. Pinkard knows how¬

to write blue strains and clothe them with real blue barmonics. A number of the biggest

headliners in vaudeville are already using Drsft-

In’ Blues.

The stage has been miicb known to portray heroic charactera of great Tsrlety. They rep-

resenttMl a moral force by encouragement and

ioaplration. Today, by way of contrast, at least, we hare

"otherwise,” for he is harmlessly engrossed in

rehearsing an amateur performan<*e, and It must

l>e said for him, however, that he, as well as his prattling wife, played by Lynn Tontanne,

are very diverting Indeed, and we have recently

had occasion to observe that diversion is an

essential of great in^rtance. The play opens ia a New York pawnshop.

SUGGESTIONS For Overseas Artists

Issued by Entertainment Com¬

mittee of Y, M. C. A.—Sol¬

diers To Have Right

Sort of Play^

The Entertainment Committee of the Y. M. C. A. has issiu'd a list of helpful hints to the entertainer going overseas to amuse the soldier

boyi, recommended by E. IL Sothern and Wln- throp .Ames. No jokes derogatory to women,

no unnecessary oaths, particularly the use of

ths word, ‘'God;” no'Joke of questionable taste, no drink or barroom stuff, unless it ia the up¬ lift kind; no fight-for-home-and-eountry stuff,

the Ixiys are doing it and don’t need any elvlli- an advice; no ean-thc-kalser, Berlln-by-Chrlst-' maa atuff. unless redeemed by sufficient wit. Don’t attempt jokes about trench or camp life

or military procedure, unless altsolutely ac¬

curate. The boys are apt to pan your act. Local jokes or plays on local names or luealitles

are bad. Ninety-live per cent of the fighting

men never saw Broadway and were never nearer New Yoik than Hoboken when they embarked

for Franca. The motto of the Y, M. C. A. Entertainment

rniiunittce for Gverwas is .All War and No Play

Dulls Sammy’s Fighting Spirit, therefore, they have gone to great lengths to see that the defenders of Old Glory are supplied with the

right sort of play. In this they have been most ably assisted and advised by E. II.

.Sothern and Winihrop .Ames, who at the invi¬

tation of General Pershing—and no one more

than he realizes the great need of the right kind of amusement for his fighting men—went

over to France. When they returned to this

country a meeting w.as held in New York, which was the l>eglnniDg of the Over There Theater I-eagiie. This league is arranged like a huge wheel. The base from which the acts are sent

out is the hub, and the spokes are kip'wn as di¬

visional areas. A company goes out on a spoke, or divisional, area, whieh may Include thirty, seven huts. When they have played in thes**

thirty-seven huts they return to the hub and

are sent out on an-dher “spoke.”

THOUSANDS PLEDGED

ica’s Overseas Theater League theatrical mana¬ gers pledged 1150,000 to entertain the men of

We take great pleasure in anno<tn<dng our Sixteenth Annual ConvrnUon and Chautauqua, which will lie held at the Hotel lai Salle Sep- temlH'r 15-l’0, inclusive.

One of the fi-atures of tliese annual gather¬ ings has bi’cn the growing effort of niiisiclans, singers, song publishers und musical Instru¬ ment manufacturers to get rloeer tiigetber.

For several years tile Biieseher Baud Instru¬ ment Co., of KIkhart, Ind., has bad Us rei>rp- sentatlves at these meetings demonstrating the posslhllitles of the Bwschcr InstrniiientH.

Three years ago M. Wltiuark k Stons wen* strangers to thl« field. For two years they have had beadquarters during the convention at the hotel, where their demonstrators met the art ists. rompany managers and bnrean men, and as a result of this nrtlvlty. and tbe drives which these farsigliteii publishers have made for this business, it Is hinted by tlsjse who know that tliey estimate that they have taken a mil lion didlars' wairth of business from a field tlinl most puldlshers have negleeleil to enltivate.

Two years ago M. WItmnrk k Sons nialntalne‘1 their first heailquarters at the 1. K A. Conven tion. Today they have an entire (Vsir devtqe-l to the lyeeum and ehaiitaminn department, and it has Is-en hinted that as msin as the war le over they will erect a new building, which will Is* devoted entirely to lycenm and rhautaiiqua rnnsle.

If you wish to know more about this. h<iw to meet the varbsis artists, managers and pro niotrrs. it is fuir advice to get busy at om-e, maintaining headquarters at the Hotel lai Salic during the ronventlon and g«> after this huslness for next winter and next summer.

,\s ehalrman of the publlelty eominlllee 1 will he pleased to give yon any Information you wish alKiut this.

We have oniy one ttionght. and that Is to aerve. We tiulld up our liiisliicss on the foiimla-

National Capital and put before the Committee

on Education of the House of Representatives the necessity of a National Conservatory of

Miuic and Art, with the immediate control of

music teaching In America. The outcome of this

conference was House Bill 6,445, providing for

such an institution. Two evcellent reasons are given for the paa-

aage of tliis liill. One the inefficiency of many

of the su-iallcd European musical instructors, who by their inability to develop musical tal¬ ent mulct the unsuspecting American students

by misrepresentation, thus ruining hundreds of

promising voices by methods of Instruction tliat

i-ould not possibly develop anything musically. The otlier vital point brought to light was the

fact that Ix’forc the war approximately 6.000

students from the United States went to the different countries of Europe to study music. The average expense of each student for such

instruction was $1,000 per annum, amounting to

$0,000,000 going out of this country yearly. It was further pointed out that some of the

best vixal instructors arc right here in the United states, who, under the personal super¬

vision of till! National Conservatory, could train

American talent to better advantage than under Conditions which existed when our Amerii-an

boys and girls sought Instruction under European

teachers. With the establishment of a National Conservatory, instructing students from tliis

lountry, naturally some of the best of European instructors would apply for admission into the

American institution. In the end the musical

talent of the country would be developed to better advantage, mushal art would have an

opportunity to assert itself, and -American music

would at last arise to its proper place in the

world’s standard of the high arts. Today Ameriian composers are given an op¬

portunity to present their compositions. From

the songwriters of a popular melody to the comiiosers of grand opera American music writers are reaping the reward of their achieve¬

ments. American singers are filling roles form¬

erly sung by Eunipeait singers; the concert field

ia daily bringing to light some unheard of

American artist who rises to fame in u night.

Hear Artist Friends—One and All—I have had a long, hot summer, “all work and no play.” .My only recreations have been innumerable Ice cream sodas, which liave given me indigestion, and ONE trip to Palisades Park, when raosiiultoes ate me up. and when, eumlng home in the evening, the cars broke down and I had to sit up all night. I liave had to try to be nice every minute to some grouchy person or other, and I've gut a bad spell of blues—not the kind you dance to either.

Hon’t tell anyone aliout it, tho, for I might lose my job and tlien I couldn’t write you any more letters. I want to, for there is still a lot roaming around in my head wlilch I should like you to know. Just keep quiet about it while I run off for a good, long week's breath. Maybe I’ll get to Staten Island or Jersey City.

At any rate, when I come back, I want to tell someone about a time that I had last week up in a place on the top (by the map) of New York State, where a mighty array of American composers and musicians met together to bathe themselves in one another's glory; which reminds me, have you ever beard Joe Priaulx N-at a drum}

So Just greetings and good-by this time, for it's no more now. XEYS.V.

people to pome In and “pray for the enemy.”

And, furthermore, you will look in vain for one of these sifins that suggests praying for our boys at the front first or even mentions them at all.

The concern of those prelates that display the invitations is wholly for the enemy.

With the single excejition of the So¬ cialist Party, tlie cliurcli harbors more pacifists than any other institution.

And a iiacifist is a copperliead—even worse—for he is not only as cold¬ blooded and as iioisonous. hut strikes with tlic sjime unerring aim and liglit- ninglike suddenness, and, besides, in¬ stead of the instinct of the snake, he is guided by a cunning, scheming, active brain. ‘

No one can persuade us that pacifists are merely mistaken, that they have a mental screw loose or that they hon¬ estly believe that they see more large¬ ly, wider or further than most of us.

There may he a few that are merely .athirst for self-advertisement, but

The German people do not think.' They are like a huge herd of docile and submissive cattle. They are driven. They obey. Their thinking has been done for them so long that they have become incai)able of forming or hold¬ ing Individual opinions.

But we must match German soli¬ darity and unanimity of thought and liurpose with a team work, an agree¬ ment and a perfect mutual trust and understanding as impregnable and iin- l>enelrahle.

The only way that we can hope to succ'— iu so doing is to hunt down and ferret out our poison-spreading pacifists.

Players and sliowmen have not many oi)I)ortunitfes to shine as volunteer members of the secret service in this game, but they can help much simply by warning and encouraging others to he on their guard and vigilant and by promptly putting the Hun brand on every fishy rumor and report they find in circulation.

Editorial Comment You could not get an American

soldier to cut off the trigger fingers of little iKjys or their right hands.

No amount of persuasion or provo¬ cation could induce him to stoop to such barbarity.

We know that the Huns are guilty of these atrocities and others far, far worse.

And yet pastors are permitted to dis¬ play signs on their churches inviting

should tlie Germans win the war and this country be “taught a lesson.”

Any way you view them, they are low, base, ignoble wretches.

Germany’s army, tho, by no means yet defeated despite the recent bril¬ liant successes of the Allies on the Western front, is doomed.

The kaiser and his aids and advisers know it, but they have two chances left and they may be trusted to play them desperately.

The first one is to sow the seetls of dissension and jealousy broadcast in order to foment misunderstanding and friction between us and our Allies, and the second is to split Americans into factions and plunge the country into internecine strife.

They have their paid spies and se¬ cret iigents actively engaged at this work, and of late are doubling and re¬ doubling their efforts desperately.

Pacifists may be relied on to help them with the work. The dastard.s are eager to and will.

They will tight not openly, but un- <ler cover like snakes. They will lie in wait, strike and vanish. Your |>a- cifist has no stomach for the open. He values his -tkin too highly.

But he is none the less a serious and an ever present and deadly menace.

We can not fight Germany at this game by counter-(>ropaganda.

1’resident Talbott and his assorlate offii-ers are highly gratified with the returns thus far re- torded. Especial credit is given to lieutenants like Fred M.

C. A. WORTHAM COMPANY

Played Third Consecutive Engagement at Minnesota State Fair—Previous

Records Broken

More than ICiti.tMNl iiersons paid admission to the MInne'ola .state Fair at Hamline on the opening day. SepteinlH'r ’J. The Mlnnes'>ta Slate Fair has Iho u in operation for more than thirty years; the ItilS o|)eolng day attemlance was greater than any of the previous o|)eulng days. On that day more than Ilii.tNitl iiersons paid ad¬ missions to tile C. \. Wortham attractions, lo¬ cated on the grounds. This was the third suc¬ cessive year there for the Wortham altraetlnns. The figures are matters of record and the "IKouliling Tliomus” can easily verify. On the face of these figures C. A. Wortham claims the record for the liiggest single day’s business ever done by a carnival organization in the I'nlted States. Every showiiian will comprehend that a company of attractions playing the third suc¬ cessive year in a given spot must offer some thing W.irih while to -draw praetii-ally three- fourths of the entire paid admissions to the fair.

The entire week was a record breaker. Hay after day the wonderful Increase was maintained. Attendame for the first four days this year was tkl.Oia) greater than for the first four day> of any previous record. In addition to turnstile figures 10.000 war workers of St. I’anl and Min nea|Hv|is were admitted free on Wednesilay.

What <if the ‘‘wartime fair?" What of the attractions that play those fairs? From North liukota. low.I Hint Minnesota has i-ome the answers, .\llendance records at each have been smashed this year, and receipt records of the C. A. Wortham atiraclinns. playing each fair for at least Ihri-e successive years, have lieen smashed. "The various fairs had something new to offer and so did Wortham. The people resi>onded in a manner that should forever seal the tongues of the “sour bugs” who decry re<' reation for the masses in these times when cheer¬ fulness is so needful.

Draft demands have greatly depleted the ranks of the Wortham Shows. However the work has been carried on without interference. Harry (“Irish”) IVire was at the Mayo Bros.‘ Hospital. Rochester, Minn., for an operali-n. ami a wire Thursilay from Mrs. Dore said the well known water circus manager had Just undergone the operation. Hundre<1s of true friends will sa.v ‘‘(fod s|ieed” to the success of it. State fair secretaries were much in evidence on the fair grounds at Hamline. There was W. H Strat ton. of Texas; A. R. Corey. Iowa: McRoberts. of North Dakota, and several otliers. including W. I. Small, of the Canadian 'Fair .Assn. The Wortham attractions went to the South Dakota State Fair, at Huron, from Hamline, another “three-timer,” where Melvalne. Hunt. I.lncoln and others have been preparing the way. and then comes a Jump to the Oklab >ma Slate Fair. —C. M. CASEY.

"now Hath the Mighty Fallen.” Fresh from its glittering trium|ibs at Toronto, Can., aud lHtr\-it, .Mich., wliere it achieved the greatest success in uuy single engagement that carnival- dum kas ever known, the tajnous World at Hume ■Shows lies a mass of twisted, liattered wreck¬ age. two meh have gone to the great beyond, two are seriously injured and eleven more are suffering from iujnries ranging from broken legs ami arms to minor cuts and bruises.

1 he train of twenty-three car.s left Detroit Monday, Septemlier it. for the run to Iroiitou, O. When 00 miles bad lieeu covered, or, to be e.\act, when at Madison t enter, four miles east <if .Adrian. .Mich,, nine of the fiat cars were hurled into the ditch witliout an instance warn ing. It was 1:30 Tucsda.v morning, and ncarl.v everybody was sound asleep, Imt in less time than it takes to write it the sleepers and state¬ room cars were emiily. and the work of rescue in progress. Daradoxical as it may seem there was no confusion, no screaming, no wringing of bunds or hysterical women.

As tho wrecks were but a part of each day's business routine. .Manager Harry R. Dolack sent for each individual manager and bad him ai count for each of his individual employees until it was learned how many were injured or missing. From nearby farmhouses doctors and ambulances were telephoned for: the wreckage was searched for the injured and a temporary hospital was arranged in the cafe car.

The women lore lied linens into bandages and gave ‘‘first aid” to the unfortunate ones, and it was a common sight to see some grizzled head, filthy with blood and cinders, held in the laji <if some woman who was usually fastidious •bout her personal cleanliness.

At last the amhnl.mces and doctors arrived, but it w.ae found. iH-canse of bridges and deep ditches, the ambulances could not be driven within a (piarter of a mile of the wreck, so it was decided to run the coaches, none of whicii bad left the rails, back info .Adrian. Tills was done and the injured who had been taken out were taken to the Bixby Hospital and cared for.

AVhen morning came, and one looked at the wrei'k of what, the day before, had been one of the greatest carnival organizations in the world. It seemed as if a giant band of destruc¬ tion bad reached up thni the thin crust of the earth and crushed in an iii-tant the production of months of thought and labor. Great steel iM'ams and girders bent, wa.gons torn apart and sjdintered. heavy poles and woodwork broken as if they had heen matches; ererything thrown about ami scattered as if a host of demons vied with one another to create chaos out of system and order. To add to tliis picture of ruin a drizzling rain began to fall, and the cold, damp wind of the cheerless morning seemed to bite to the bone as we fought to release those who might Ih' pinned underneath the wreekag-’.

It is in hours like these when heroes are dis¬ covered. and to hear Hime grizzled Tviughneck, who was crushed and bleeding, beg for the workers to leave him and look for “reg,”

’ ■■"'I>ite.v” or some other of hts “bnd- liies,” who had not .vet been accounted for, seems like fantasy from the battlefields of France.

Alanager FT. R. Dolack immediately wired to his brother and business tiartner. I. *J. Polaek. He arrived on Tiie-day. hring ng with him Max Kane, both of whom firoved themselves rrouiierw

'‘Regarding the first general agent with a carnival organization, ami that my dear friend.

When 1 brought the Nat Reiss Show to California 1 had Steve Wooiii with me, which was bia first engagement as a carnival agent, bis duties being to promote tbe town after tbe contract was made and handle the committees until the show arrived.

The Ma.vor in¬ formed me that the Couneil had deidded not to allow any shows or amusements of any kind in Koeky Point during the war as they were un¬ essential. I said: ‘*<lentlenien. I understood that our best informed ollieials at Washington consider amnsement as essential during the war and no doubt they will be as mueh surpriwd as 1 am to And they are wrong when they hear the City Couneil of Itiwky Point, Mo.. Iras de- cbled otherwise.” .\nd then I blowed. The minds of that City Couneil are so narrow that If they were all twisted together they would not be big enough for the tight roi>e in a flea circus.

A grlfter seldom tries to Justify his calling. He is not very smart or he would not be a griftcr, but nine times out of ten be is smart enough not to attempt to palliate or alibi inde¬ fensible practices. Once in a while, however, the exception is encountered and invariably be M'ts up some variation of the old, old claim that grifters only nick those bent upon nicking the grifter. The answer to the argument Is so obvious and trite that few pcofile trouble to pull it and the bonehead goes on and on iniaginlng that be is winning out with it. That la the only reason that the contention is advanced at all.

The ladies with the liageniieck-Wallace Show have gathered and turneil over to the Bed ('rosa oyer 400 pounds of tinfoil this season. Mon' credit Is due them from the fact that it was accomplished In a real showman spirit, not ns a boost to popularit.y, and imsslhly a great many natives were not aware of their real oti- ject when they were seen picking up anil ex¬ amining cigarette boxes on fair groiiniis ami show lot*.

Dr. ilartlgau writes that the general impression one gathers aronn'l the army camps is that the Germans will smya see the "handwriting on the wall.”

Solly would be more than pleased to note the patriotic activities of all in the circus world. There is just as much being accomplished by the members of onr profession a* there is tn any other walk of life. People of the latter get credit for nearly all deeds thru the medium of the press. So should we. I.*t’8 have It.

l,ouls Ktael kicks in fivini Moundsvllle. W. Va., that be has had the beat season in twelve yeara and has enjoyed good health, good wages, good eats and aplenty of hard work. Ktxel says he made a trip to Camp Sherman rei'ently and .greatly en>>yed the sights. He states that It has many of our leadiug pleasure resorts beat a mile.

Harry (Sapoline) Williams has not been heard from in some lime. He kirks in from I’ueblo, Col., as follows: “Tell the luiys who con¬ template coming out in this part of the West that if they can And a ‘heaven’ for pitchmen like St. Louis they should go there and not come here. The Missus and I have Just Anished the circuit of rnundu|>s and And the coniiitlons very l>ad. I made one town in New .Mexico, where I was told by the Mayor and marshal that 1 could either go to unloading coal or get out of town, as they did not need anyone in the community that was not really an essential war worker. I And the majority of towns in this section closed. Cheyenne is oiten. There Is a lot of money here, bnt a pitchman can’t get It. So theiMIssiis and I are buying two long tickets to the Igind of Cotton—and we are going thru without a stop. I would like to hear from A1 Raymond, Ted Fleming and I’at Dalton, as well as all of the hoys 1 know and who know me."

Reports from Texas state that one of the best little 8i>ots in that section is clos«‘d tight due to the smutty Jokes by some meilicine performers recently playing there. It’s bad dope to try to entertain and hold gaewl customers with this kind of comedy, as only the “riff raff’’ enjoy It and they form a poor audience for purchases.

'They tell us that Doc Macey and the Missus have left Texarkana for Nashville, where Doc will work in an ammunition plant. That’s the system. Doc; glad to see you doing your bit for the Government. There are more ways than one to get In Hue.

BenJ. Bruns writes from Honolulu Informing us of the death of Dr. Charles Duncan Cram at a hospital in I'kiab. Cal., .Liigust Id. following an operation for ulcer of the stomach. In com¬ menting on the characteristics of Dr. Cram. Bruns adds: “He was well known to the pro¬ fession as a ‘prince’ among men, a Anished orator, a genial companion, and with all a physician of exceptional merit. Many have cause to rememher his generosity. Dr. Cram bad been practicing medicine at I.akeport, Cal., since his retirement from the road some Hve years ago and was esteemed by the community in which he lived. He was my partner in vari¬ ous business ventures some years ago. I shall miss and mourn him deeply, as be was a true friend and business associate.” Dr. Cram was well known among the knights of the torch and he will be greatly misseil by the many friemls be bad among them.

From Dwight Wilcox: “From what 1 can observe the State of Texas has yielded a little more than Its quota of ’divctors’—it must be the climate. That is about all Texas has yielded this year. Speaking of ’doctors' brings to mind the preAx of ’professor.’ The word had such a pleasant ring to it that all the bal- I'Minlsts of my home town added It to their names. There are few ministers In the medl cine game who stick to the business without a IireAx. It would be Just as convenient or economical to call them ‘doctor,’ ’professor,’ ‘colonel’ or Just plain ‘Doc.’ but 1 can see no use of letting that good old word, ‘professor,’ go to waste. Joe Edwards Is using no preAx at present, so I suggest that Joe claim that word and nave it copyrighted.”

We notice in The (Columbus) Ohio .State Journal of reecnt date that Walter C. Dfslge registered a few remarks or rather a criticism on refreshment booths being open and doing business with spielers on the front on Sunday at the fair grounds at Columbus under the aus¬ pices of churches. Two quotations from the article follows: “How about the fourth roni- mandment? When did the churches receive, and by whom, the anthority to abolish God's Sunday law? What a howl they would have put up had the fair in general been open to the public Sunday.”

RIP VAN WINKLE STUFF Time was when credit meant that creditors actually Invested money

In their customers* businesses. It was well understood that the latter did not have enouRh capital of their own on which to operate and could not command it elsewhere save from the firms from whom they bought.

Those were bad days for creditees. They paid dearly for their capital. The banker’s rate for the use of the money was added to an extra stiff profit on the goods, and on top of this an agreement was exacted by which the debtor bound himself to buy his wares in that particular line from no other wholesaler or manufacturer, thereby sacri¬ ficing all tbe benefits of competition.

The debtor retailer iiaid such high prices for his g(>ods that he could not make money. In time it dawned upon the manufacturers and whole¬ salers that if the retailer could not make money the wholesaler could not make money out of him.

So they put their heads together and found a better way—the mod¬ em way.

Crît as between buyer and seller no longer means investment. It now means “a convenience" only. Firms buy and sell for cash, but as a matter of convenience settlement is made once a month by one voucher.

Advertising is sold for cash only nowadays. Our terms are cash. To new firms and corporations unknown to us they are cash in advance. To new shows or showmen unknown to us they are cash with copy. Business firms or showmen seeking credit with us must submit refer¬ ence. Even then our bills are due when rendered, and clients wishing to establish a credit with us are expected lo remit promptly on receipt of bill and to keep on doing so until we voluntarily transfer them to the monthly statement class.

The wealthiest advertisers and advertising agents pay The Billboard on tho first to the tenth of the month. When they want credit they go to a man or an Institution that deals in it, 1. e., a capitalist or a bank.

Some showmen are still laboring under the notion that credit means two, three, four or five and oven six months’ time Just why is not ap¬ parent. They get their* cash in advance. There is no good reason why they should not pay on the first of the month following.

T:.*' business of those who do not is not nearly as desirable as those who ,..i' promptly when their bills are due.

Furthermore their standing on our books is not as high nor can wo say It is when business firms writo us for c 'iifidtatial information con¬ cerning it.

t Don’t be a back number. Credit is a convenience. Use it. Don’t t* abuse it. The latter Is old, moss-covered stuff. If you are still living In the past, for heaven’s sake do .lot advertise the fact. iAt least camoutlagc it.

And remember, if you are not in the habit of paying promptly on receipt ef bill or statement, your credit is not good. Don’t be deceived

▲ by the fact that we continue to stand for it. You are branded as “slow ♦ pay” in oinr counting room and our credit man is bound to recommend ♦ you mildly if at all to other credit men. i Wake up. Rips. The world has been moving while you slept and I business has kept pace with it. Shake off your lethargy. They are I shooting the mails here and there by aerepLine. You must not only show ♦ speed yourself, but a liking for fast company in order to “get on’’ in t this day. t The “slow’ man is a dead one.

THE LICENSE QUESTION

Time and again we have argue.! ami plead

for a sane diseuasion of the license problem, as

it is sure to affect us, but instead if doing as business men should do we give it absent treat¬ ment. Our field forces are more and more con¬

tending with the tbeatrbal and other business

interests, our trade pajiers are Iu a sort of

evangelization rampaign. prea< blng aermona of

hate and doing it in a huller-thun-thou way which hypm-rites always enipio.v to lamouflage

their own selfish interests or tlieir own selfish

a-'s. What is the result? .More and more the

I .• aire al interests are fighting ba. k. We can > .te dozens of cases w here this .vear alone the

scrnx'Ds of hate have Im’ensed our competitors

so that they entered the arena to fight back.

Here la a case in hand. The 8ask.xtoon (Canada) City Council has passed a license ordinance re¬ quiring a fe«- of $10 per da.T for chautauquas.

Why was this done? We will let The S.tar. of

^ that eity. tell why: •'The petition of the proprietors of theaters

asking that travriing chautauquas be required to pay a li.-ens,. fee has been lonsidered for

some time by the By-Laws Committee. At its

meeting In the eouni il chamber last night the rei-ommendation that chautauquas shall pay a

fee of $10 per day was brought up and ap¬

proved.’’

PM-Kccts Agnes Ayres anil Edward Earle.

Shown at the Rlvoll Theater, Newr York,

September 8)

AN 0. HENRY STORY IS SUmCIENT GUARANTEE of a truly pleasing entertainment,

but when it Is coupled with the refreshingly nalre acting of Agnes Ayres and the isirtrayal

<if a Tery human young chap by that clever actor,

Edward Earle, we pit ourselves on the hack as

ba^ing the times of our lives.

With a theme as fragile and gossamery as

thistledown, yet idaeed in an environment of dazzling wealth and splendor that sweeps us

along with the ideals and ambitions of the young

eouple, we are given a treat that wins our grati¬

tude. The jsdse and correet attitude assumed by Miss .\yres—her litlie form, proiierly gowned,

added much to the attractiveness of this short-

reel picture. Tile scenes embrace the loldiy of

tlie Hotel Astor, New York City, two liedroouis

and various sections of the gri'en-lxiweriMl risif

garden, with its secluded nooks, fountains and grottos; startling panoramic views of our har¬

bor at night.

To detail the story would spoil its delicate texture. Sullice it to say that it contains all

• if 0. Henry’s droll conception of the human

heart, and works out to a satisfactory climax in a delightful manner.

EXHIBITORS. NOTE: This picture, tbo only a brief trifle, is a worthy aof|uisitlon to any

OFR CONGRATrL-ATIONS TO ALICE BRADY

ON AN EXCEPTIONAI.I.Y ('LEVER PIEfE

OF SCREEN ACTING. To this temperamental girl, with tbe elusive

Celtie eliarm, the piquant tilting profile and ex¬

pressive speaking eyes, has eome an opportunity

to portray a dual personality, and let It be said

to her credit she makes each characterization—

tbe gootl and bad twin sister—attractive In her

own Inimitable way. Every little mannerism,

even to tbe thumb chewing habit «f the baliy twin. Is carried forward thru the period of yiHiug wi>manlKs>d. Diametrically opposite In

disposition, tbo fatall.v alike In appearance, the

passionate Imiietuosity of the willful Trixie at¬ tracts sympathy for Iut yonthful indiscretion;

even her dash and verve, the iietnlant toss of

her graceful shoulder, hold an ap|>eal. The (latient. sacrificing twin, sister, I/iuise,

with her clear, steady gaze and virtu¬ ous mind. Is visualized with minute exactness. It Is iKirtrayals of such striking individualit.v that (daces our brilliant young star on a jieilea-

tal of her <iwn carving. .Mice Brady uses her alert intelligence, tlie inner workings of a keen¬

ly analytleal mind, sliading her work with a finesse that registers em|dintic snecess.

THE BETTER H.\LF Is technically flawless.

There is absoltitcly no break in the continuity. The story tii-eomes more sustienslve as the action

g.sthers momentum and holds attention tightly by Its strict adherence to human nature. \

QUICK WORK

World at Home Practically Rebuilt— On the Lot and Ready To Show

Hamilton, O., Sept. 1(J.—The value of a capa¬ ble manager and staff wu.s never better exem- plifled than in the case of the World at Home Shows, which, after being wrecked last Tiie-'day morning near Adrian. Mich., with a large per

centage of the flat cars, wagons and e<|uipmcnt eeemingly damaged beyond repair, today is lo¬

cated on the lot here on vvlileh they made the initial stand of the season, and. weather permit ting, will inaugurate a week’s engagement to¬ night.

It would be difficult for other than the trained eye of the showman to delect any traces of the terrible ordeal tlini wliicb the show has just passed. Here iitid then' a new i«dc or new piece of plunking c.in be sem; in the water show the fratnevvork of the tank stands without the glass; .a little sometliing is missing hero and there on the various attractions, hut taking all in all the sisiw is at this writing 70 per cent reluiilt. with a suiall uriiiy of meehanies working jinii'tically tiLglii and day to complete the task by Wednesday, at wlileli time Manager Pnlaok claims every show, every riding devioe and every eoneesslon will tv in as giasl, or better i-i ndl- tlou than the night this spring the World at Home pulled out of ilaiiiilinn on its initial run.

Baltimore, Md.. Sept. 14.—Burles<|ue is break¬

ing all reeords in the Monumental City, and. with three downtewa theaters running at full tilt, there is plenty and to spare for lo«'al bur¬

lesque lovers. The I’alaee Theater, with Uoliira-

Ms rirciiit shows, is doing a reeordbreaking bij'iness, while the Gayety, with Ameriean

( ireuit attraetions, is playing to i-apaclty at

every performunre. I'erbapa the most remark,

able of all three house, is none less than the

famous old Monumental, now n-named the Folly, and playing the burlesque attractions of

the John Walsh Circuit to ps -ked houses twelve

shows a Witek. Oldtimers would hardly know

the well remembered Empire Circuit tW'estern

Wheel) theater, for many changes have been

made both in interior and in the policy of

operation. It is offering burlrsqi.e shows of

the real old school and evidently the sfirt of

shown t.iat Baltimoreans are seeking, for the old h idse is literally "mopping up” Simon Itries-r is handling the management and la

maki..g a mighty good Job of it and he is going

afier the money like a young Barniim. With

a multi-colored lobby display of artistic frames

and colored photograph* and the town billed like a circus Drieaen Just makes 'em <-ome, and

j a half hour bs-fore eael, ps-rformanee then- is a

hand concert in the lobby to attract the tran

sienta. The Folly is ops-ratlng In a new chain of burle8<|ur houses, which includes the Cres¬

cent, Brooklyn, re<-ently ai-quired; the Casino.

Washington, and a new house, the name and

locaUon of whh'h has not yet N-en made pnhlic.

The Folly Is equippi-d like a veritable Drury

I-aoe or Metrorsditan house with a *i-enic de¬

partment for the manufacture of new scenery,

and a mammoth costume department, where a half dozen seamstresses an- kept busy day and night. New profM-rties are built to order on the

spot, and the house is thoroly organize<l for the

weekly changes which are made in sliows, s>-enery and effe<-ta. A permanent chorus of

thirty girls is maintained at the house, while

the shows, with the principals, move weekly,

bringing a brand new show with them each time they return to the theater. This idea, of ehang- ing showa and principals and retaining the

chorus ha* several advantages, inasmuch a* It dispenses with the heavy expense of railroad

transportation for the wlmle company, as well

a* the heavy railroad and transfer hills for the

moving of trunks and a<-enery.

The Folly Is owned and opi-rated by Hon Nicholls. a well-known local amusement pro¬

moter, with Himon Driesen a* general manager,

Eddie Allard treasurer, and Jaa. Warner as¬ sistant. The stage Is niansged by Tom Elton,

with Carl Kommers priqierty master and B.

Bernard Htrtpp electrician. The en-ellcnt or¬

chestra Is under the direction of Howard Will, while Hose I.<-slie is the prisliicer of the varlon* hallels, stage ensemhles and ehorus numbers.

The s<'enl-' department I* isinducled by Wm. D. Ixive. and Myrtle Clark has charge of the <-os-

liimliig. The old Folly has come Into Its own

again and It Is once nion- re|ieatlng the luc-

ceaaes of the lialycon day* of the Empire Cir¬

cuit prosperity.—SYDNEY WIRE.

Are you one of the thoueands who are daily having Tha Billboard’s Mail Forwarding Service handle your mail?

The Billboard’s Letter Departments forward nine out of ten letters on the same day they are received. In fact, many of our clients are not put to the neceeeity of writing for their mail more than once or twice a season.

The letters advertised in this iaeue are hardly five per cent of those that paee thru our Cincinnati and its affiliated branch offices.

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

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

LETTERS ARE HELD THIRTY DAYS ONLY,

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

READ THE EXPLANATION AT HEAD OF THIS LIST.

Free, prompt and far-famed, the Mail Forwarding Service of The Billboard stands alone as a safe and sure medium through which professional people may itave their maiPaddreseed. Thousands of performers and showfolk now receive their mail through this highly efficient department.

Mail is sometimee loet 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 tc the letter list:

Cincinnati.(No Stars) New York.One Star (*) Chicago .Two Stars (**) St. Louie.Three Stare (***) San Francisco .(S)

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

Mail ia held but thirty days, and aan not be racovared after it goea to tha Dead Latter Office.

Mail advertised in this issue was un¬ called for up to last Sunday noon. All requeett for mail must be signed by the party to whom mail is addressed.

his raving* his mind wanders bark to tbe day* of ills boyhood love for Jennie (played by Miss Brady).

Tbe grim battlefield scenes In No Man’s Ijtnd fade out and in a few minutes of time only we are in the green garden of Jennie’s Vermont leime, and the romantic events with his sweet- lieart of which he talked in bis ravings arc enacted.

The *ecr>nd act again depict* tlie desolation of No Man’s Land with Ted still wandering in tiis mind, telling of the boat race while at Harvard, which also fades out and the visuali¬ zation of the t>oat race epls'wle follow*.

The third act sitow* Ted lying In .a chateau, where he has been brought on a stretcher.

The last scenes of the last act stiow a party in full swing at Jennie’s home, where Ted l>reak< with Jennie and leaves for New York and later France.

In the closing scene Ted Is coming out of the ether administered at the o|M^raiion, while .lennie. as a Red Cross nurse, recognizes him.

Tlie scenes from No M.an's Land to lennle’s Vermont home, as also the eostume changes, were fierformed with mystifying rapidity, con- -idiTing that It could not have been as simple as running off a slide.

Miss Brady was a sucres* on the serr-en. pic- tiiring tlie techub|ue of her eiuoilona! art In gesture and faeial expression, bitt Miss Brady in tlie ‘-sliaibiw” as comimred with Miss Brady in tile flesh is like the tsitanicjl demonstration of a n>se on pap-T In gray and black to a rose in li oom with cob.r anil fragrance.

Her gleaming teeth, the blue eyes, the qual¬ ity of sincerity In the voice all help to Im- pres* tile story Iiarmonintisly. since the nerves of tlie eye and ear operate sy(ii|iatbetica1ly.

The pletiires, flierefore. demanding an exercise of the organ of sight only, ner'cssarlly cause a certain amount of unconscious strain.

Ted. the Innocent youth, climbing the lattice thru thick vines laden with lovely crimson ramblers to reach Jennie’s balcony and per¬ suade her to Come out for Ice cream, and Ted lying wounded on the battlefield at night, crying for water, certainly pletiires more realistically than black and white effi-cts on the iiiovleji.

Tbe Maid of the Mountains Is most beautifully picturesque, romantically Sicilian, and delight fully meludiomi.

Tbe old-fashlulled plot has its robber leader of the brigand band in William Courtenay as Baldasarre. To say that be was handsome would be "only the half of It.” Mr, Courtenay was graceful and sincere, with a proflle as classic as a Greek god: dressed in high black boots, sword, white coat and bat embroidered in gold, cords of gold festiKtned from tbe shoulder and a mantilla of old blue, be was the must charming stage figure seen In many a day.

We recall that be has previously appeari'd in rags for tbe sake of art and I’als First, but as a high-handed brigand chief he Is particularly glittering.

The operetta barks back to the days of Robin Hood and the i’lrates of I'enzance. It is a classy production from start to finish, with clean comedy, which somehow lacks the American punch.

Sidonle Espero, as Teresa, the Maid of the Mountains, has a sweet, thin voice. She, bos ever, carried tbe setmes as much by her beauty and acting, to say nothing of her niounuin cos tumes. which were as colorful as a sunset.

Clark, tbe chief comedian, was a delight. He was really funny. William Danforth. as the Governor, acted bis comedy role much In the old-style way. The three scenes In the moun-. tains, courtyard of Ooverno-’s I’alace and On in Island, by Cnlt, Wicks A Itelsig, were truly beautifal.

Tbe Maid of the Mountains, with a little speeding up, would prove a most worthy produc¬ tion.—MARIE F. LEXXARDSl.

E.XCERI’TS:

.American: “Mis* Sidonle Espero sang the leading ri«le admirably.’’

Sun: "The Maid of the Mountains Is a very tame and old-fashioned young woman.”

GIoIm*: “A really stunning prodnetioa.” Evening World: “The o|>eretta was all the

more enjoyable because of its old-fasbloned at¬ mosphere.”

Herald: “Oiwreta is picturesque.” Morning TeUgraph: “The orchestration Is

miistciauly and illustrative.” World: “Beautifully stag.*d. always tuneful

and far atiove the common level of Broadwsv musical plays.”

Times: "The stately strains of operetta of¬ fered In the grand old manner.”

Mall: "New prima donna scores.” Morning Sun; “William Courtenay was quite

as romantic as ever.” Tribune: “Tbe type of musical play which

was familiar half a generation ago.”

NOTHING BUT LIES

Atlantic City, Sept. 10.—Nothing But Lies Is tile title of the farce cvmetly that appealed to the risibllites of one of the largest audience* that the Globe Theater ha* had thia season.

Billed as a "Colllerlsm,” It proved to be especially fitted for America’s quaintest and quietest coinedlsn. wbnwe dry, unsmiling wiys provoked tlie audience to frequent outburst! of laughter.

The iiiitlHir, Aaron Hoffman, has woven to¬ gether tirlglit dialog with quick action and so iniiiiy surprises that the iinexiiected is slways bapiieniiig.

The fday Is unique In It* opening, with a pm li|g of the happy kind that pleases the audience and prepares them for tbe many liidicron* events that follow. Two historically fanioti* ex- IMinents of opiuisite roles, .Ananias, renowneil *' a notorious liar, and George Washington, rc venal for Ills ability to tell the truth. In a bright, snappy scene, discus* the relative value of truthtelling or stretching that virtue. Tlii* scene Is bright In humor and full of local ajiu slons that will ap|H-aI especially to the New- York audience.

The play Itself opims with a simne In the of flee of an advertising firm, which has made money by extolling com mod I ties by colorful words of praise. The psrtner* In this enterprise nre blunt business men and one. Nigh. blessetl with two children, ■ son who Is anxious to show up all the villainy of the world, and a daughter, who Is a stickler for friltli. The other liartner. t:<*>rge Washington Cross, I* engaged to be married to the daughter, and she, after hav Ing caught her father’s partner and fiance 1«

promise, ina^niucb as the truth will reault in sending two people to Jail, so he promptly wades Into a mess of lies that come so thick and fast that ereryone becomes hopelessly InrolTed. With this as a foundation the farcical scenes that develop cause roars of laughter, with many new stage tricks that were a relief from hack¬ neyed methods.

William Collier in the character of George Washington Cross, caused ripples of laughter

.by his plain matter of fact method of putting Vver speeches that were full of the meat of tûmor without once cracking a smile. \Ftank Monroe, as the pseudo-detective, had a

illDcnlt part, but bis unctuously humorous ban- dllSg of the role made it stand out as a particu¬ larly blight spot of the performance.

Rgpley Holmes as the bluff business man, W, Kiley Hatch as the scheming politician, Thomas V. Emery as a weakminded Juvenile, and Robt. Hitrange as the scapegoat for the alleged crimi¬ nals, were all gotxl in their respective parts. Olive Wyndbam as Anna N'igb had the part of a tcmpermental young girl with high Ideals, and she not only looked the part but played it to perfection. Florence Enright, aa a bright sten¬ ographer, helped the comedy along by shoving the manneriimi cf a New York girl working for htr living, and added to the mirth by her ef¬ forts to rsleaae ber lover from the meahea of the law with her dramatic apeecbes, and Jane Blake, aa the daughter of the politician, han¬ dled ber part in a manner that reflected credit on ber ability.

In fact, bis long fingers frequently play alMiiit his besd and temples like slguifiraut radiations of thought, preceding or prompting the action played with natural ease and quite convincing effect.

His n-w play, therefore, would seem quite suited to the methods of his art, dealing, as It d<ies, with psycbivpatbology, a mental dliturb- ance lietler known to neurologists and alienists, notnitliHtandlng whieh Mr. Atwill did seem haiqder lo bis previous character roles unob¬ scured by uiystitlcations.

The seisiiiil act drags considerably, the in terest lieing nostly In the puzzling effort to estatdlsh the lilenrify of the patient, and tha clever manner In which It was evolved.

To relate comedy and patledogy and extract laughter from the pathetleaily serious combina¬ tion seems a bit unnatural, and the (day is none the tx-tter In coDa<x|ueore.—.M.ARIE K. I.ENNAKDH.

Daddies Is thin comedy material, bnt baa great charm, which, in Itself, la a magical wand ta srield. because It rovers such a anitttnde ef alna according to tba Indlridnal who wrote: "Tba I apeak with the tongue of men and of ■agals and have not charm, I am become as eanndlng braaa.”

lacldentally the play did not contain any tpeechet of tuperhnman wisdom as conld be credited to angels: far from It, but It did speak thru llltle children and the apmal was as pow¬ erful as it was tender and alluring.

The orphans arriva. The most conllrmed of the bachelors, James
