SIR ALFRED BUTT TO RETIRE FROM THE MANAGERIAL FIELD

London's Most Popular Producing Manager Headed for Parliament With Good Wishes of Whole

Theatrical World of Great Britain

By STANLEY

London, Sept 18.—London'* thont- rtcal world will, bofore the jaea.ôn nl- roady under way ha* reached a two- third* tinlah. be startled by the announ.'ement of Sir .\lfred Butt's retire¬ ment from the fleld of active theat- rl-al r'anaaement

Not the least siiêstlon of such an announcement Is "In the wind." so to rpeak, at the present time, around the steady outpour of new theatrical plan*

from the Oarrlck House—the seat of .'S.r .\lfted Butt's activities. A so¬ journ Into the social seat of London’s Klitlcal world, however, derives suffl- fient c.uise for a safe prediction of the : nniiuncoinent to l>e exclusively made 1 y The Billboard. It is further known that Sir .Alfred Butt has hinted at his future plans to close friends dur- Itic luncheon chatter at the f'avoy Ho¬ tel.

Jlonor of a seat In Parliament will W the maftnet that will deprive l>ondon’s theatrical world of one of It.* most respected and enterprising pro¬ ducer* In Sir .Alfred. Only the closest friend* of the magnate know of the prevailing facta that are grooming him for hi* retirement from theatrical*. 'Vhen the announcement doe* come It »11I l>e a shot that will atartle Lon¬ don’s theatrical world, for Sir Alfred, without any question of doubt. 1* one of the brightest luminaries of the Krltl-sh producing fleld—a producer who keep* aloft In the West End at¬ traction* the foremost In originality, particularly those things which bring alKuit added Interest on account of ’heir international value.

Hue to "generous contribution* to war charltie* and valuable help In war work" the name of Alfred Btttt ap¬ peared In the King’s Honors List of 1R18. It was .1 poptilar award to the theatrical magnate, for he rightly de¬ creed It. for all during the war his “fforts directed the Joys of many sol¬ dier*. If wasn't until his health neces¬ sitated it did Sir Alfred resign from the .Min!*tr>' of Food In which con¬ nection his valuable work was recog¬ nized In a letter of appreciation from Lord Khonddn.

If ever there was a theatrical mag¬ nate worthy of a knighthood It wn* t^lr Alfred Butt. This Isn't an otdnion of one Individual. It’s the undivided thought of London's theatrical world. *t wasn’t associations that brought to h m the appreciative honor, but whole- heirted activities, without political

aspirations and desires. His was a no¬ ticeable undying effort to contribute patriotic assistance, appropriate of his business life <'aning, during the war, and night after night the Palace Thea¬ ter was the scene of Sir .Alfred’s care for the soldiers during the dark and drearj* days of (Treat Prltaln’s hard¬ ships. His unselfish motives, never at any time considered unusual by the man hlmwlf, were readily recognlr.e'd by the Royalty, and no more popular knighthood was a.sslgned during the war than the one pre.ênted Sir Alfred Butt.

The number of those associated with the variety profession who have won

the honor of knighthood now equal.*

that of the theatrical calling, only four

of the actor-managers who hold the

distinction remaining. They are Sir

Squire Bancroft. Sir John Hare, Sir

Johnston Forbee-Uobertson and Sir

Frank Bacon. While Sir Alfred Butt

is now widely connected with the thea¬ ter it was in the variety world that he won his recognition. The other three present variety knights are Sir Oswald Stoll, Sir Harry Lauder and Sir AA’alter De Frece.

Sir Alfred Butt was originally an ac¬ countant. but In 1898 became con¬ nected with the Palace Theater, Shaftesbury avenue, as secretary. He remained in this position about a year, and eventually succeeded Philip Yorke as a.*8l8tant manager. On the death of Charles Morton in 1904 Sir Alfred, who was then "Mr.,’’ was appointed manager. In 1906 he took a seat on the Board, and became managing-di¬ rector. Under his management the Palace has become one of the world’s renowned theatrical spots In London. His greatest success at the Palace was achieved with Elsie Janis In "Hullo, America.**

In addition to the Palace Theater he Is managing director of the Empire, Leicester Square, the Victoria Palace and the Olasgow Alhambra, and joint managing-director of the A'arlety Theatres •Controlling Company, while his theatrical Interests embrace the Gaiety, the Queen and the Globe. Only recently Sir .Alfred added to hi.** Interests the Mogador Palace in Paris.

’There’s no limit to Sir Alfred Butt’s popularity. Opposition theatrical man¬ agers consult him, and abide with many of his suggestions. Few theat¬ rical managers In the world have the same honored standing with opposition managers as belongs to Sir Alfred

More Theaters on the

Pacific Coast

Seattle, Wash., Sept. IS^Messrs. Jensen and Von Herberg, owners of the Liberty, Coliseum, Strand and Mis¬ sion theaters here; the Columbia, Lib¬ erty, Majestic, People’s and Star thea¬ ters, Portland, Ore., and the Rialto, Butte, Mont., have purchased the Ri¬ alto, Colonial and Victory houses in Tacoma, Wash., and have let the con¬ tract for a new house In Astoria, Ore., to cost 8100,000, according to a local

architect.

The corporation will build or pur¬ chase available theaters In Yakima. Everett, Aberdeen, Bellingham and Walla Walla, It is stated.

The Victory, at Tacoma, Is the old Pantages showshop. It has a seating capacity of about 1,000, and was pur¬ chased from Edwin James. A. A. Bruce, a Portland manager for the Greater Theaters Corporation, will manage the Victory.

The new .Astoria house will be ruêd to completion, and It is planed to have It ready for occupancy about the first of the year.

Northwest territory will be prac¬ tically controlled now by the Greater Theaters Corporation (Jensen & Von Herberg) and the Northwest Elxhlb- Itors’ Circuit, comprising 125 motion picture theaters In this and adjoining States.

As far as can be learned at this time no effort has been made to add to the Greater Theaters’ string of houses in this city.

Eventually this corporation plans to have a first-class house in every prin¬ cipal city of the Pacific CoasL

president of the Actors* Fund of America, said the order had been won over to the cause thru the efforts of Will S. Rising, an actor. The writer also pointed out the endorsement meant that the ceremonial on Decem¬ ber 5, 1919—Actors’ National Memo¬ rial Day—would receive undivided sup¬ port of the executive personnel of the institution.

The infiuencp of the order extends to 1.600 communities, cities, towns and villages thruout the country. Their desire to aid the actors’ campaign has been further Intensified by a large registration of members In the theat¬ rical profession, who participated In the war, many of whom madu the su¬ preme sacrifice on European battle¬ fields that others might live.

MyjCEIHEjlTEE 'ivadmi

(ItovieH'od MomUiy Matinee, September 15)

New York, Sept. 15.—The first strike at the Palace Theater occurred to- fiay. All the acts on the bill, the musicians and stage hands showed up, but no programs appeared, but thanks to the James Automatic Announcer patrons were enabled to tell who waa on the stage, altho ninety per cent of the crowd was so familiar with the different acts that evidently the Palace management has decided that printed programs are unnecessary as long as the present re¬ peating policy is in existence.

Rome burned while Nero fiddled, and It is Just possible that the Palace bookers are fiddling while the public is burning up at the continual repetition of the axme faces, same material, same styles and same songs at this theater.

I>asb’s Orchestra and the pictures helped to take up the time while the house filled up.

1—Togan and Geneva, a young chap and girl, who showed cleverness on the wire, opened the show. The man does most of the work, altho the bare¬ legged assistant is a considerable part of the act. Togan’s talk does not help the act any, and an artist ns clever as he is does not need to try to be funny, aa his work on the thread ea.^Ily carries him over. The last stunt, a complete somer¬ sault, earned for the act several bows. Booked by Frank Evans.

No. 2—Raymond and Schram. Two men who had a good selection cf melodies, hut the offering as an act does not belong at the Palace. It is Just ordinary and lacks personality or pep. The excuse offered many times by ofti- clals of this theater Is that It is hard to get acts, but when we know of acts walking up and down Broadway that could play the Palace In No. 2 spot and be riots, surely the managers must be possessed of the same information. We saw an act at the Jefferson Theater on Fourteenth street several weeks ago that would have been a credit to the Palace bill. Raymond and Schramm are booked by Kay Hodgon, son of S. K. Hodgon.

No. 3—“For Pity’s Sake,” a travesty on old-style melodrama, featuring Thomas Duray In Wither’s old part, got the first laughs of the day. The bur¬ lesque has J>een here so often that a lady sitting In our box remarked to her friend: ’’Now wait and see how funny he is when he falls Into the bucket of paste.” However, the ca.st Is good, the act Is good, but the audience this after¬ noon seemevl to have already laughed themselves out at the eccentricities of Duray. Booked by Max Hart.

No. 4—Rae Samuel.s, the blackhaired, blue and silver gowned bundle of personality, sang several songs, old and new. Her skeleton rattling “Mary Brown” went as well as ever, and a new one, “I Love Him.” was greatly liked. Miss Samuels is always welcome, as she is one of the vaudeville’s most magnetic singers. Her little blonde pianist was an able and attractive accompanist and attracted oodles of attention. Miss Samuels had to reapond'to several encores. Booked by Harry Weber.

No. 5—Jazzland Naval Octet closed the first half to a big hit. Every one of these boys served on the U. S. S. Great Northern, the ship that probably carried over and brought back more troops than any other transport. To fol¬ low all the Jazz bands that have played at the Palace was no easy task, but these musicians had no trouble in making everyone forget their forerunners. Tom (Trombone) Deveny and Carl Courrler were especially noticeable. T’he band Is booked solid and will certainly whoop things up on any bill. Jack Henrj' is the fortunate booker.

INTEmnSSION

No. •—Anna Wheaton and Harry Carroll did Just the same as they always do here. “The boy is clever” and the girl "sings sweetly,” and they are prime favorites with New Yorkers. Booked by M. S. Bentham.

No. 7—Frisco surprised everyone. When he first appeared here he became a sensation over night, but his many subsequent anpearances and hosts of Imitators have served to dull the sharp edge of his success. He Is In all prob¬ ability the most Imitated dancer In the world. However, today the originator of the Jazz, with Ixxrette McDermott. Just galloped thru a routine, which seemed to please everyone. Booked by Harry Weber.

No. 8—Robbins an ! Partner, the magical musician, a regular visitor at the Palace, scored his usual success. Robbins can produce more stuff from his clothes than the ordinary magician; In fact. Thurston across the street at the Globe has got nothing on him In this particular line. Robbins’ imitations of the various Instruments Is marvelously clever. Booked by Arthur Kline.

No. •—Ten Eyck and Wellly. with an elaborate dancing specialty, closed the show.

Next week’s features Include Wheaton and Carroll, Ford Sisters and Com- (tany, Carlos Sebastian. l>lckenson and Deagon, and The Four of Us.—HILLIAR.

after the management, aaeisted by Louis Beer*.

Ueorge Bcboettle, tbe popular treasurer, la aga'u

behind the wicket, and Jacob Bobrer directs

the orchestra as of yore.

No. 1—Lp-Ve and Wilbar, man and woman,

gave the blU a gisHl start with an acrobatic

Boman ring number. They are both dressed in

white and show a great deal of speed In their

work. Eight minutes, la three; one bow.

No. 2—Florence Hobson and Eileen Beatty,

one a contralto, the other a soprano singer,

were delightful. Tlie soprano is exceptionally

good, and the two girls playing tlie p'.ano at

the same time came in for much applause.

Thirteen minutes before the curtain; one bow.

No, 3—A great character actor la Owen Me-

Olveney, wlio presented "Bill Sikes.” \ playlet

founded on PlckeDs* "Oliver Twist.” Mc-

(■iveney assumes all tbe characters (five la

cumber) and makes tbe changes in rapid fash¬

ion. His work is remarkable, and tbe audi¬

ence responded with much ap>i>lan.*e, for which

be thanked them. Seventeen minutes, full stage.

No. 4—It was quite a change from McGlv-

eney’s act to that of Charlie Wilson, who Is one

of our best “nut" comedians, but be had the

folks with him all the way. His nonsense and

redtationa created a storm of applause. A big

bit. Sixteen minutes, la one; two bows.

No. 6—Came Gladys Clark and Harry Berg¬

man. that well-known and popular team of en¬

tertainers. They have a good maaical turn. en.

titled “A Kay of Sunshine.” to display their

talents, and their singing, dancing aad com¬

edy were appreciated. They always regl ter.

Eighteen minutes; woodland scene; full ituge;

comedy, “A Golf I’ropoeal.” Kouae*!}' I* f •

Wg laugh prodis-er in thin skit cad hla hiir- r

good. Twenty minutes la three.

No. 7—George Bobbo and Eddie Nelson have

Marshall Montgomery, because what he doesn’t know about ventrilo¬ quism could be carried in the eye of a needle, because in aihlition to his voice-throwing ability he exhibits real showmanship in the staging of his act, because he is ably assisted by Miss Courtney, and because nov¬ elty acts owe a debt of gratitude to Montgomery for so worthily uphold¬ ing the prestige of this class of act. At the Kighty-flrst Street Theater Wednesday evening.

Creole Fashion Plate, because the surprise In this act Is startling, because no other female impersonator is In this chap’s class, because the illusion is perfect in makeup, voice and gesture; because it Is happil\ named, because this was a return engagement here within a few weeks, and because the reception accorded the offering prove<l that it had be¬ come a standard Palace act.

VERACITY’S LATEST

New York, Sept. 12.—In the Green Sheet’s

dally for today there is a tale of a Cleveland moving picture firm buying the film rights to

Thomas Moore’s famous song, “Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms.’’

Tom Moore wrote the poem and fitted it to an old Irish melody, whose origin is wrapped in

the dim mists of antiquity. It originally ap¬

peared in a series of Irish ballads, the flrst of which was published in 1807. All vestige of copyright disappeared before the Mexican War,

and the film rights are not discoverable even

with a compound microsoope and a 1-16 lumio-

geneous oil-immersion aprochromatic objective. It must have been a tough day for the Greeu

ADVERTISING In a sense the present high tide of advertising Is evidence that the

world has achlevetl a larger measure of democracy. Where monarchy Is absolute, advertising languishe.s. There is, then, no need to argue with the populace from billboards, street-car cards and printed pages. Tell them what fo do and they do It. Announce that the Emperor eats such and such corn meal or prunes, and the announcement is enough. But where the people rule the people must be sold, and the more they rule the more the methods of salesmansMp Increase and flourish. Those who And themselves Irked by the of being forever appealed to may discover sor-e crumb of com.fort in the assurance that there will be no advert’slnif in heaven. For advertising, which is, after all, only a depart¬ ment of education, will have done Its perfect work. ‘‘.Xnd they shall teach no more every man his neighbor,” says the prophecy. On every subject evervone will think and know alike. Until that perfect day ar¬ rives, iiowever, the jirobablllties are that we shall see more and more advertising rather than less—Collier’s Weekly.

STATEMENT TO THE PUBUC Setting Forth in Detail the Facts Concerning the

Formation of the Actors^ Equity Association and the Events Leading Up to the

Strike and Its Settlement

The following ortiole in a statement to the

•pubUo, M-ttiug forth the foniplete story of the

foriuatioo i»f the Actors’ E>]uity Assitciution and

the strike by its members, wliich statement was

offered the dally press, but not very generally

U(ce|ited tor printe<l). Believing it due the

iiieiiibiTs Ilf the Actors’ Equity Association that

the statement be given as much circulation as

imsslbie The Billboard prints it herewith.

The “actors’ strike” may not stand clear in

the i>ublic mind if considered merely as an ex¬

plosion that sins>k the tlieutrical world during

•August, lftl9. The story, told proiH-rly, must

trace back thru years of poverty, irrcsisinsildl-

Ity and virtual isolation—must reach forward

to a future in which dramatic an will be a

n-al s cial value, not munagerial fustian, and

the actor and artist not a strolling player de¬

nied self-re8|»ect and expression.

Strange as It may seem, the spirit of Shake¬

speare's stage, in spite of everj- change, con¬

tinued to dominate the theater until a com¬

paratively recent date. In no sense a profes¬

sion, but simply a happy-go-lucky federathm

of roving bands, the actor people strolled down

tbni the de<’ades, leading the ingrown, nomadic

life of Cypsics. marrying within their own

ranks, n-aring their children to follow In their

fisitsteps, asking little, needing little, a sepa-

ratecaste sufficient to themselves. Booth, Barrett,

I’orrest and otliers came, lifting the stage to

a lien level of dignity and honor, but this

C' ai:ge in sidrlt, the swift rush of beigliteueil

asi iralion. left the organization Itself (smiiiara-

' el.v untouched. The fraternal impulse, the

e-o|,iTative iiabit, still prevailed. 'File ttian-

. g rs were either jdayers or else men of artis-

gift and dramatic insight: every venture was

i.e nature of a imrtnershlp, moiie.v was not

t e- e' ief incentive, and actors reinaimsl a

••<^1 se eorporatiou,” knitted tt^etlier by tradi-

ti us sh. risl in common.

M'ith growth came jirosperlty and with pros-

perit.i came the commercial conquest of the

i. eater by business men. moved only by bus¬

iness instiiiets. Playhouses commenced to

spring uti in every city, the old simple arrange¬

ments of traveling gave way to an elalmrate

nlnu of Issikings. factory methotis were ad'ijitid

..•Itii resjiect to hiring, contracts I vk the place

of verbal agreements, borrowed millions wen*

brought In. and to earn the largest isisslble

returns on liiiac investments ever.v trick of

liartering was brought into use.

Tin- pla.ters. however, did not change us con-

^ -dltiejis cliimgisl, Ti.cy contimusl to live in the

W spirit of tile bygone. Co-otiemtive days, when

e , :e loaiia.ger was a '’guide. piiiloMipher and

friend." when money was a “vulgar considera¬

tion" and “arf all lm)M>rtant. As a matter

of course this attitude delivered them Into the

hands of the llieiiter'^ new conimendai tsin-

Inii, and evils ami in.lustlces eilged in that grew

t > have the weiglit of millstones about the neck

of tl:e nnforiniiatc jdaye'. If every play was

a “Imsiuess gamble.’’ as the managers plirastsl

it. tlie risk fell almost entirely uism the actor,

fur. to quols tbe statement of a great lawyer,

conceniii.g a contract in evldem-e. "the only

thing guaranteed to tlic actor under this con¬

tract is the privilege of working unlimited

weeks for nothing."

Ki'l.eursals wen* never paid for. altho last¬

ing as long as fifteen weeks in manv instances,

.'tnd there was no assurrance that more than one

week's salary would Is- received, liven if the

jiroduction did not fail, forcing the actors liack

Into another dreary round of ndiearsals, there

was always the chani-e that a whim of tne man-

.tger might lead to discharge at n moment’s no¬

tice.

If it hnpi>ened that a conii>any's tour was

cai'celed in Callfitmia. Texas, or some e<iually

distiilit State. It was up to the jdayers to get

b-ick to New York as Itesl they could.

As Ibdy Week and ChristmaH Wei-k were

iisuall.v ’'isMir business," the custom grew of

cutting sp'nrles in half for these jieriiKls. Tlie

rich isHisiWIities of the idea be<s>mlng apparent,

the practice was miod extended to lake in the

two weeks Is'fore Christmas, the two weeks

l>ef<irc Easter .and Ele<fi'>n Week. One manager

even went so f-tr as to pav only lai’f salarv for

the first four weeks of a elsy, arguing naively

that the element of rehearsal «tii1 remained.

Satiinlay nlg'its during shoiadng seaaons.

Yet holiday matinees were m.t paid for, and

when business wa.s go-si, oliier extra matinees

were crowd<-d In for which the i.laycrs never re¬

ceived a penny.

.».i IS h;.il to be provided by tbe act¬

ors, and, with women partii-nlarly, it v. us

often tla- case that the last cent of savings er

boriMwings went into dr. ssi-s f .r a play that

lasted less than a week.

Put of all thes«- abuses c.ame the Eqult.v .\s.

s H- .iM '.'i. i:.e first re -orded atteuiid of actors to

gain recognition as pts.pie. Tbe b«igiiiniiig was

a crsuul meeting of five or six priiiiinenl aetors

at tbe I’layers’ Club in January. Ittl.’l. Talk

turned uiHin tiu* iuereasing utniilH-r of “benefit

performances,” and drifted into u general dis-

eussion of the coiditions that kejit I'.ie average

artor In a penniless state, coiii|h-11.hI to Isirrow

from more fortiinute friends, afraid to assume

the de.'e:it obligations of citizens and parents

and sliuilow'ed always hy the fc_r of isnert.t-

r’.rieken old age.

One man hud Just finishcl relienrsals streteh-

ing over tweut.v-thn*<- we<-’ss. and had received

pay for f.mr pcrforiiuinces. Two pnsluclbms.

one lasting u single night, tbe other three

nights, and in eaeh iTtHluetion were other men

like him, and women with heavy iiivestmeuts

in eostumes. One after the other is'ntrihuted his

bitter exiicrienie, or rev'lteil iusiauees of .les-

titutioii. actual starvation aud bitter injustice.

The .Actors’ Equity .Vsswiati.iu was .u'g.iuUel

tlicn ai:d there, not as a threat, hut in the hope

that the simple iircscntatlon of unl>earahle

wrongs would le:'d l.> redress. N‘ t u’l- of tie

stars, hy any nie/us, were willing to risk their

assured jKvsitions. for any al'rnistic impulse,

and even among those wlo suffered abuses, there

was the fear of con.se.iueni-«‘s. .After a week of

henrtthreaking effort. ls>wever. n fairly repre¬

sentative membership was g.ained. and with ti e

aid of comiietent legal advi.-e the "eqnitable

e.mtract” was framed and laid b<'for.i the man¬

agers. .A timid little ••ontract. hsking I'lily a

few fundiiiiieuial refotn;s. imt despite its imsl-

eratlou, the answer of the niaimgers was ul>su-

lute refusal. When the actors ja"rslsicd there

were threats of discharge and bluckllsting.

Cor tlins' year* the Equity went, cap In hand,

from (.nice to office, begging s'niumon Justice,

common decency, meeting only with insult au.l

derision.

AA hut was there to Jo? When* was help tu Ik*

Ki|ulty. Tlie dramatlata came upon the scene

at the height of the strike and said that tbe

only thing preventing an Instant and amicable

themselvea. The offlccra of the Esiulty straight

way signed and serfleil an explicit denial, also

an offer to the managers to enter Iwto an

agreement apeciflcsilv surrendering any right to f closed shop. The dramatists, hlvhlv elated,

fiVlthout money, and facing what si'ene^ to

be a death grapple with a rich, compart and

powerful organization, the Ei]uity conceived

the Idea of presenting Its own shows, and al-

nhist over night four houses were openeil.

ircsenting brilliant programs to packeil audi¬

toriums. The artistic success, conpled with

the financial returns, led to arrangements for

similar pniductions in other cities. The possl-

bllllfles of a theater operated by plavers In

the Interest of real dramatic art. together with

the grim fratemallsm of the allleii «t ige crafts,

brought the managers face to fai-e with the

certaln'T of defeat. It Is kn<<wn that at one

meeting a vote to settle tbe s*rlke bv full

concession of the Jnstice of Eiiuify’s contentions

w's carried by a majority of .IR to tV bnt this

half dozen controlled bookings and were able

to cudgel the 36 back Into line. As tbe strike

»l*read to Boston and other cities, however, ami

as the theater owners of tbe nation began t»

demand attractions, even tbe Implacable few grew amenable to reason.

.Meetings with the Equity were resumed tlir i

the medium of lawyers, and on Wedne'iluj

night. September 3, a contract was agreed ’ui*oii.

Tbe Equity officials approved It without ebang'-

but when it came back from tbe managers it

was altered so adroitly as to destroy all pcsei

ble value. Two exceedingly offensive alter¬

ations prohibited the enlistment of new meui-

bera by the Equity and refused reinstatement

to strikers. Kven so tbe Equity felt that tbe

alterations were simply strategic moves not

effecting the process of parley, bnt in tbe

morning papers of Friday, September 5. tbe

managers announced that negotiations had been

broken off finally by reason of the unfairness

and bigb-handed methods of tbe Equity. Tbs

statement was doubly shocking t6 tbe actors,

for not only bad the lawyers representing the

managers insisted upon a solemn pledge of

secrecy in connection with the negotiations, but

their violation of this agreement was bullded

upon a flat perrersion of fact. >

The proposed contract ran for live years,

and it was an Equity suggestion that all sug¬

gested changes, or desireii modifications, most

be presenteil for discusbion prior to the first

of eaeh January. Wbat the managers sought

to make tbe people believe was that tbe CON-

TU.VCT itself bud to be brought up for new

agreement each and every January the first,

thereby giving the Equity the opportunity to

swing its club yearly in tbe very heart of tbe

There was not a day in tbe last two weeks

of tbe strike that it was not in the power of

Equity to have paralyzed the entire theater by

means of a general strike. It was not done,

lor there was tbe daily hope that tbe managers

would listen to reason. But tbe Tuesday

statement was a last straw, and on Friday tbe

word went forth that made tbe strike national

and complete. The rush of tbe managers to

resume conferences was swift ami Instant. .\r

3 o’clock Saturday morning, September d. tb*-

strike ended In tbe signing of a contraet tlmt

embodied every single Ekinity demand. Not

one item was overlooked, not one conees'l' ii

tuade, for tbe original demands were based hi

such aimpliclty of Jnstice as to forbid ci>i>i-

promlse.

The Equity did not get tho “clceed shop,”

cause it bad stated repeatedly that it <li'!

not want it. It did not demand tbe dis.'oluti'Hi

of tbe Fidelity, Inasmncb as tbe manager

ignored It in tbe settlement and reeognize<l tt.-

Equity as tbe one organization empowereil to

represent the actor.

Honestly, decently the Equity held to tbe de¬

mands uiion which tbe strike was based, re¬

fusing to take advantage of its victory to

wring further concessions or even to exact re¬

prisals against those that It had g<NKl cause

to bate as traitors and deserters.

Nor Is tbe victory stained by a single instance

of unfair fighting. At every stage of the strug¬

gle the Equity fought only in defense, re¬

sisting always and never attacking. Had the

managers dealt fairly with the actor there

would have l>een no Equity Assoelatinn. Had

the Equity contraet been rartled out in faith

and friendship there would have been no unioni-

zatioD. Had the managers resi>ected the arbi¬

tration clanse there wonhl have been no strike.

And at any time between -kugust 7 and Sep¬

tember 6 the strike could have been settle*!

on tbe exact terms that settled It finally after

a month of anger and great Iohs.

Victory is not* regardeil by the Equity as a*

anaestbetie. but as a spur. rolleetlve bar¬

gaining is not an automatic device by any

means. To be successful it requires balanced

IH'wer. and even as the Equity has no quarrel

with the mal.’tenanee of the Producing Man¬

agers’ Association, so does it trust that the

man.vgers will not begrudge growth and strength

to the Equity.

Everything that tbe actor has and holds ti»lsv

is due to the six years’ fight of the Equity, it Is confidently expected that those still oulsi.l*-

the organization will recognize this truth .ml

see the bitter Injustice of sharing in a rewsr.l

for which they made no sacrifices. With this confidence of a 100 psr cent or¬

ganization tbe Equity has also de<-lded nis*n a

plan of honorary associates that will carry »'ic

REVIEW

The show ojiened in the garden of a medieval

castle, near the sea, in Jazzonla, with eighteen

choristers as court attendants, for the most part

nsKlern in appearance, altho there were several

in the ensemble who appeared somewhat antl-

uoated. Even so, ns an ensemble their vocalism

and dancing were acceptable.

The bo<ik offers a story of a Princess with

I sweetheart (.bjectlonable to her father, the

King, who. in order to rid himself of the un¬

welcome intruder, engages two soldiers of for¬

tune to guard ti.e castle sgainst the guy Lo¬

thario's entry.

Tlie two soldiers. Interpreted by the diminu¬

tive Bobby Barry (featured comic) and taller

than him, George Leon, bis co-worker. Leon

Indnced Barry to portray the role of a vicious

dog, and what Barry said and did while playing

his part evoked much laughter and applause.

Scene two introduced much funny dislog

the rapid delivery of fast and funny linea,

afthief among them Barry's deputy's dialog and

his blind moocher activities. Barry and Leon,

as red shlrted, belmeted firemen, singing "Help,

Help, Help,” followed by an eccentric dance

and attended by the entire company in a "mek>-

Jazrmatlc" play, which made a novel finale for

part one.

Part two introduced the entire company in the slave market of Cairo, in which the feminine

principals made an exceptionally pretty picture

in their Grecian costumes, and the same may

be said of three really pretty ponies,

Leon, in feminine make-up and bur-le-v|ne

mannerism, introduced a series of dances that

ran the gamut fram Grecian classics to the

shlmmie. to the music of B.irry's Bute accom¬

paniment. That the audience lihed it was

evidenced by rei)eated enwres that 8topp<'d the

show. The recalls thus tendered them were ac¬

knowledged by P.arry with a few well-chosen

words of thanks and the explanation that Leon

was out of wiggles and Barry oat of wind.

trtxlucing Rogers. Ellsworth and Golden as

Scene three was the Interior of V. e Plueblrd

Leon and Stanley at another talle in a kissing

during which the choristers, as mannikins In

a fasliion parade, presented an ar'ay of c.,>afly

lowed by a cabaret scene, la which a tall,

slender, fair-faced cbor'ster put over an Indi¬

vidual song number with telling effect.

May Stanley led an ensemble of choristers,

representing the various States of f e fnlon,

which afforded them ample opportunity to

demonstrate their la«’.lv'.daal cblli'.y In tlellver-

About This Season’s Successful New York Productions

I The New York Hippodrome’s “Happy Days”

Thgm in mom of splendor, more of freshneee, mom of the element of surpriee and mom solid entertaining ideas of worth packed into “Happy Days,” this year’s colossal offering of the New York Hippodrome, than in any of ita celebrated predeceasora.

Any manager of a provincial musical comedy, burlesque show or tabloid who can possibly find the lime end opportunity to make the trip ho the metropolis and see it, should do so by all means.

The coat of the visit will prove the beet possible investment he could make, for the mammoth spectacle fairly teems with inspiration, sugges¬ tion and stimulus.

It will lift the plodder out of his rut. fecundate him flow of ideas, im¬ plant in him a spirit of emulation, and nvake of him a bettar showman.

"Troc.” And the hailing aIgn came not alone

from a few, but by the neuapapers of the town.

Howard was on hla mettle when the troupe

"neared home” and tbe anticipation was catch¬

ing. Everyone with the show wag at higheat

tension, ready to "pat It oxer right” and they

did. Lack was with Howard. Monday a.m..

Juat aa tbe show was put la at the "Troc” a

heavy rain broke loose which made the Lata-ir

Day matinee and evening a complete sellouf.

and the same thing kept np all week, making a

record for a few to shoot at this season. Great

preparations are under way at the Star. BriKts-.

Emil (Jazi) Casper, featured blackface with Mollle Williams' Show, baa re«'elve«l many stun¬

ning offers to enter musical comedy, either here

or lu 1 ondon. tmil Is as yet undecided whether

-w not to cross the water.

That versatile blackface comic, Henry Brown,

baa Just Joined bands with Joe Wesley and Bess

Bartell, and are hooke<l to play all Hie c.xnton-

ment ramps tbiXKuit tbe country. Miss Bartell

was formerly with Ben Welch’s "Review.”

They played I’tics last week and, according to the press reports, made go<id.

Max Cohen, formerly with Stroiise A Frank-

lyn's Brock Company, and more recently tearing

the Booth In vandevllle. opens up on Saturday

night at tbe Nattonal Burlewjue Association on

the Na'lonal Byriesqiie Association Circuit.

Jteports have It that Harry Bowen, the eccen¬

tric co-star in Mollle Williams' Bliow, la sure

making good.

Ge*>rge Madlw'n. Jnvenlle with the Star A

Garter Show until late. Is rehearsing with Bert

Green and intends branching out In tbe I’nited Time soon.—LEW.

Many bnrlesque people will be Interested In

knowing that the Hannah Hotel at Cleveland has

changed bands. Congenial Mat Kohler la not

playing host any longer.

Jim Barton’s sensational Broadway bit re¬

minds us that bnrlesqne la a pretty good ladder

to eminence and distinction.

William Meehan. The Watson Sisters. Grace

I-a Rne, Barney Bernard and Eddie Cantor are only a few, a very few, who have risen via

Its rungs.

"Once a burlesque artist always one” Is an

exploded myth. The only actor who does not

get on Is one who Is satisfled not to. “There is always room at the top.”

SEPTEMBER 20, 1919

ATTENTION!

Amongst the wild rumors circulated last week was one that Mr. Mountford had committed suicide. As this would be no one’s business hut his own we shall not dignify this with any reply. In any case, the law in the State of New York was changed on September ist, of this year, so that it is no longer a crime to kill yourself.

Another bit of more dangerous propaganda is, that Messrs, FitzPatrick and Mountford have been or are to be forced out of their International offices by some person or persons.

.Mr. FitzPatrick is the International V'ice-President of the Four .\s. and Mr. Mountford is the International Executive- •Secretary of the same organization, and there is no person or persons who have the power to force them from those offices.

The only way in which they can be removed is by preferring charges against them for some breach of the laws of the Union and then it requires a two-third majority to convict them.

Thcv were each elected in July for two years, and till that two years e.xpire or unless of their own volition they resign THEY WILL REMAIN IN THOSE OFFICES.

•Another division of this propaganda is that Messrs. Fitz Patrick and Mountford have been forced out of their offices as Big Chief and h'xecutive Secretary, respectively, of the Vaudeville, Burlesque, Chautauqua, Circus, Concert, Cabaret and such performances as are given at the Hippodrome, New York, Branch.

NO ONE CAN FORCE THEM OUT OF THESE OFFICES EXCEPT YOU, THE MEMBERS, YOURSELVES AND THEN ONLY BY YOU PREFERRING CHARGES AGAINST THEM. WHICH CHARGES WOULD HAVE TO BE SUSTAINED BY A REFERENDUM VOTE.

Another branch of this propaganda is that some other organization controls or directs or could control or could direct or could gi>vern the actions of Slessrs. FitzPatrick and Mountford in the X’audeville Field.

THIS ALSO IS A LIE MADE OUT OF WHOLE CLOTH. ^

They are the duly elected officers of the N'audeville Branch and as such are responsible to no one on earth, except their own members, for the plans, conduct and operation of their organization.

As a necesiâry sequence to this NO PERSON appearing in A'audeville, Burlesque, Chautauqua, Circus, Concert, Cabaret and such performances as are given at the Hippodrome, New York, OWES ANY ALLEGIANCE TO ANY OTHER OR¬ GANIZATION OR TO ANY OTHER PERSONS, nor can any other persons, legitimately or legally or morally, give orders to the actors or actresses playing in these branches, whether they are members of any other organization or not.

This cannot be made too clear and cannot be too emphatically insisted upon.

No person or persons have any more right to order any actor or actress in these branches to do anything than Messrs, FitzPatrick and Mountford would to walk into the 48th Street or J9th Street Theatre and tell the legitimate actors there what to do.

Furthermore, EVERY PERSON playing in \*audeville. Burlesque, Chautauqua, Circus, Concert, Cabaret and such per¬ formances as are given at the Hippodrome. New York, MUST PAY THEIR DUES to this Organization on and at our due peritKl WHETHER THEY ARE MEMBERS OF ANY OTHER ASSOCIATION OR NOT.

We do not want to refer to this again and we hope we shall not be compelled to, but it cannot be too clearly understood by actors and actres.>ês and members of the Chorus that when they are appearing in X'audeville, Burlesque, Chautauqua, Cir¬ cus, Concert, Cabaret Branch and such performances as are given at the Hippodrome, New York, they are in the exclusive jurisrliction tif and under the exclusive ct>ntrol of JAMES WILLIAM FITZPATRICK, BIG CHIEF AND PRESI¬ DENT; EDWARD CLARK. VICE-PRESIDENT, AND HARRY MOUNTFORD, EXECUTIVE SECRETARY.

The dues of the Nâudeville, Burlesque, etc.. Branch of the Associated Actors and Artistes of America are $i2.oo per an¬ num, payable $tvoo on October ist and $(>.oo on .April ist.

At present the initiation fee is $5.00. Therefore, if you send $11.00 in now, as it is so near October 1st, it will pay you up to .April 1st, 1920.

I strongly and earnestly advise you to take advantage of this $11.00 payment, for, without doubt, we shall raise the ini¬ tiation fee very considerably within the near future.

WE HERE PUBLICLY ANNOUNCE THAT WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO RAISE THE INITIATION FEE TO ANY AMOUNT WITHOUT ANY FURTHER NOTICE BEING GIVEN.

Make all money orders, checks and express orders payable to me and address it to 207 East 54th Street or 505 Fifth Avenue, New York City.

VI.SION8 FROM VIN An objectionable feature to the handbills

announcing the past K<]uity Mass Meetings In Chicage was the color of the paper on which they were printed. It reminded one too strong¬

ly of those who resigned when the strike took effect.

Now that the chorus girls have secured their Just demands for recognition and respect, a flock of managera will qnit the professional fleld—and grape Juice won’t be the cause.

According to managerial reports, Dave Jtow- man'a Moulin Rouge Company la a money maker. No wonder when the caat la taken Into consideration—every member of the com¬ pany la a vandeartist. Novelties are numerene. Including a dancing trio, a ainglng quartet and a miniature circus. (Late reports wtate the clrcna la a "Oootle” affair. P'raps B. N. will verify this.)

Charles A. Brown and bis better half have forsaken the tab. ranks and sallied forth Into the legit. They are pleasing the patrons of Tom Casey’s CkimedUns and report bualaeas la ezcalleat. If C. A. becomes aa popalnr In the new fleld as be was In the tab. be no danbt la aet indeflnltely. Aa for the Mrs.-well, the popnlarlty la 30-50.

It la rumored that Mona Richmond will aoaw take to the road. 5he contemplated n trip several weeka ago, bat "dental tmnble” de¬ layed her. Reports have It tiiat riia la ones again right aide op with care. The perplexing problem is, "Will she ‘dawnce* or quota Shake¬ speare’’?

Robert Nelson, the entwhUa BobMe, has rejoined Have Newman’s Monlln Rooga Com¬ pany. and it la said Friend Bobby fa crantlag qnlta n stir. When It comes to paraonallty there are few who have It on Boh. It la oader- etood Mn. N. fa also on the anmo show. Well. Ae batter ha, by back!

Bing Cnabmaa. who has located on the Otent White Way In Uttle old New Terk, and who ban been prodorlag and wriUng nets of merit for soma time, has eoncalved n plea to Increase bis producing capacity. It la iwmored that ha xrlll take Into pnrtaerablp with him an ladl- Tldnal who la popntnrly known In every hnneh of musical comedy, vandevlUe and entertain- tnent gamt. Dave Ncxrman. who Inst tonawi bad fonr taba. on the Shn Clrextlt. It la ■**> the new Arm xrill be tastnllad in tbs Pntnam Building on Broadway, and no doubt the eoan- blnatloe will prove a xriaaar.

Tom Faxon, the marvelous Chicago baritone, is nightly singing Leo Feist numbers between the acts of “I'p in Mabel’s Boom.”

This week Faxon is singing “When You Look

In the Heart of a Rose,” with superb effect. Faxon’s history is full of human interest. Twelve years ago Mr. Faxon was a muscular young blacksmith in the shops of the Interna¬ tional Harvester Company. One day Fred Brooks,

the superintendent, gave a little party at his house, and Faxon was invited by the boss and sang at the function, and a few nights later

sang at a banquet given to the factory foremen.

Here is the way Mr. Faxon tells what followed: “Mr. Brooks called me to his office the next

day and bluntly said, ‘Tom, you are a good blacksmith, but I’ve got to let you go.’ I was

struck dumb as a bivalve with astonishment. ‘Yes,* he contlnm-d, ’this is no place for you. I'm going to force you out so you can make something out of your voice.’ I went to work for Tell Taylor and stayed with him seven

years. Then I came to Feist’s.” Jimmy Coloslmo, noted Chicago restaurant

man, heard Faxon sing, and offered to send him to Italy to take a complete vocal course at his

own expense, but Faxon declined. Headliner Jobs on all of the big time have likewise failed

to take Faxon out of Chicago. “I have a family and a dandy borne of my

own here,” is the reason he gives. “I want to

stay with them.” And, maybe Bocco Vocco, the astute manager for Feist, could give another reason, for Mr. Vocco is quite accustomed to meeting other people’s offers when they try to

get his help away from him.* Mr. Faxon Is manager of the classic music department for Feist’s. His voice has a three-octave range and

is classified as a basso cantanto.

WILLIAMS’ NEW 80NQ

Chicago, Sept. 13.—“Who Said So,” a new

song by Clarence Williams, is, in the opinion

of Bert Peters, music arranger, destined to have

a good following. Williams, wrbo is a young colored man, is already known as a song

vtriter. The song will be published by Shapiro,

Bernstein A Oo., music poblishers. "Somehow, the colored race has a mystic

V?methlng in its temperament that hits on

^ catchy titles.” said Mr. Peters, “and c«jlored

loplc have traditions coining away back from

•omewbere that finds expression in their songs.

They jirodoce some really fine things.”

‘'RUSSIAN RAG" IS ROSSITER HIT

(Chicago, Sept. 13.—“Tbe Russian Rag,” by

<^rge I... Cobb, is a number that is leading

OK on the new season, according to Wili Ros-

slter, music publisher. The Six Brown Brothers

are using the number in their act and Mr. Ros-

siter has had a request from Sousa’s saxophone

soloUt for the composition.

ERNIE YOUNG HAS A “FIND”

Chicago, Sept. 14.—Ernie Y'oiing, one of the

newest and one of the moat aggressice booking

agents of the Chicago territory, believes that

in the person of Gladys James he has dug up

a bidden treasure. Miss James made a sensa¬

tion on her tryout as a “ehimmy” and Jazz

dancer. She came here from San Franciaco,

where she had worked as a dancer in Tate’s

Kestaurant. Ylr. Y'oung placed her In Marigold

flarden to while away tbe time until be gat

her booking started.

He went out to the Garden a night or two

afterward, saw Yfiss James dance, and Imme¬

diately signed her up for five years.

“That girl Is beaded straight for Broadway

right now,” declared Mr. Young. “She is

superlatively line as a Jazz dancer and makes

up like a queen. Jazz dancing la ordinarily a

man's dance, but Miss Jamea knows tbe secret.

8he has that wonderful combination, the step-i

in her feet and tbe idea In her bead."

at 338 MadiEOD avenne la a source of great in¬

terest to the pasaers-by. Bits of tspestry st-

tract one from the window; odd pieces of

Jewelry that Modjeska, Nazimova, JuUa Mar¬

lowe and many famous -women have worn.

Mrs. Castle’s smile invites one from a pboto-

grapli. and a singular thing happened the other

da.v. A soldier passing by was startled to see

a well-remembered scene reproduced in pk-ture

form. Me went Into the shop and asked Miss

Taylor how much that photograph would b*.

Bhe told him, and he asked to have it framed.

Jumble In does not usually take care of that

part of It. but this gentleman seemed to be

terribly agitated about the clreuiu-stance. and

she told him she would have It done. The

photograph was of King George. Admiral Sims and Admiral Sims’ aide. King George was

shaking hands with the .Vdinlnil’s aide. It

seems that the aide was this soldier’s best friend, and he himself is standing Just outside

of tlie picture, Sliortly after the aide returned

to this country he ilietl. - I have never seen

this picture Ix-foje,’’ the ts.y said, "and only

.“uw this by chani-e, as I rarely puss this way.

I can not tell you w-liat it means to me to have

found it.” News pictures are rare at Jumble

In, bet-ause It is seldom that anyone cares to

buy them, so it iiius* have lieen intendetl

that this one should have found its pn-sent OH ner.

A lad -walked into the .«itage Women’s War

Relief Jumble In tlie otlier day and asked if

he might buy several pictures of Mr-, t’astle.

-Miss Taylor remarked that lie was perhais- an

admirer of hers. “Well, I am.” said ’he

young soldier, “but these are not for me. They

are for my buddy. We went into the war to¬

gether in tlie heginning—enlisted in t’uiiada.

Very shortly afterwards John Has wonudeil and

lay in a hospital month after month. Me

became ao covered with bed sores that be had

to lie on his face, and then one day tlie Ger¬

mans ajirang their practical Joke. They b- iiilied

the hospital. The place went up in a blaze

the roof fell In on John, but he still lives.

TVlth only the slender thread of life that re¬

mained to him It held firm under this new

ordeal. Of course, he will never leave the

hospital now. They got him as far as Eng¬

land. and he is being made as comfortable

as It la possible for him to be. but the one

thing that can bring a smile to bis eyes Is a

story or a photograph of Mrs. Castle. Me

adores her. .VII over Ills part of the wall are

tacked photographs and news items al>>at

her. .V new one seems to lie about the only

thing that can give him any real pleasure.

I saw these very beautiful ones in the w ImibW

and would like to buy them if 1 ma.v." Miss'

Ta.vhir urged liim to select as many as be

wished and send them to his friend, addfng*

that he could have them at half price, ite

JOSEPH N. WEBER,

President of the American Federation of Musicians

Joseph N. Weber, president of the American

Federation of Musicians, -was seen by the writer

in his beautiful offices at the headquarters of

the organization on the eighteenth floor of the

World’s Tower Building, 110 West Fortieth street, New York.

The gracious modesty of this leader of 800 local unions, including 86,000 musicians. In

the l/'nited States and Canada, made it neces¬

sary to ap(>eal to some of bis friends for In¬

formation relative to big jMirgonal acbievo- ments.

However, on tlie subject of the American

Federation of Musicians and its accomplish¬

ments Mr. Weiier talked entertainingly and

with JuBtiSal)Ie pride.

“All the representative bands and orchestras and professional musicians of note," said Nlr.

Weber, “are memlp-rs of the Federation, wltli

the single exception of The Boston Symphony,

which generally recruits its talent from Eu¬

rope and is not an American Institution.

"The present organization is not the first of

Its kind,” he said. “Previous to the existence

of the American Federation of Musicians there

was the National l.#ague of Musicians, not,

however, affiliated with the American Federa¬

tion of Labor, and the musicians soon learned

that when it came to defending ttieir Interests

Miey were Just as weak as without any or¬

ganization.

•■ITnally the more progressive of the members

dissolved the league and formed the American

I'lderation of Musicians, affiliated with the

American Federation of Labor, and wbtcih

Iiroved so BUc<-essfnl in protecting the Interest

of each and every member that it now incluiles

all the talent in the w\>rld of professioual mu-

sicia UK. “In addition to looking after the wrlf.are

of its members, the Federation Insistetl tliat

representative otganizutions. auch as sym|>liouy

orctiestras, should be built up of native mu¬

sicians, so as to make .\merica independent of

Europe in point of musical talent.

“As a result we have ai»proxlmately a dozen

representative symphony orchestras which can

be truly called American, and tlius the Ameri¬

can Federation of Musicians not only Improved

the economic welfare of Ita members, but also

instituted a policy to further the dcvclopmeut

of art and place America in this resi>ect on

an equal footing wit* Eurojte. "The American boy and girl must be given an

•ppertunity to develo)> hi<= talent is tiie slogan

of our organization, and we have been signally

absolutely nothing to gain. Their attitude

PICCADILLY PICKLETS! Wlut'a wrong with th« theater! It is

healthjr financially, but sick nnto death

artistically. Native English drama has

been coated of late by foreign prodocts.

(Nr. Haddon here has in nrind the American

invasion.) The commercial manager roles

the roost. Ihamatic masterpieces are mis¬

cast owing to family favoritism. The

wealth of talent in the provinces is neg¬

lected by the London managers. There is

no recognized system of apprenticeship to

the art of acting or to the bosiness of the

theater. Playgoers as a class are nnorganized.

The stage is unrepresented in Parliament.

The theatrical censorship is lax and cul¬

pable. Tomfoolery spiced with indecency

runs riot in musical comedies and revuee.

The rublie is fieeoed by excessive charges

for refreshments, cloakrooms and pro¬

grams. Many theateis are unsanitary be¬

hind the curtain, and actma and stage

workers are still suffering from numerous

injustices in the practice of their art and

craft.’

The uppermost question that acema to con¬

front many lyceum and chantauqua people right

now Is this; Why did The Billboard enter

this field? MTiere does it pay The Billboard to

do so much for tbe lyceum and chantauqua, when It carries so little advertising of lyceum

and Chautauqua people?

It often seems foolish to answer Idle gossips,

for they do not comprehend It when you do ex¬

plain things to them. In all sertonsness we

once tried to set forth the reason that animat'Ml

us in this move to our good friend and editorial

'oruther who wears the Banctlmonious ways,

but he almost threw a hysterical fit of borse-

lu ugh ter when the altruistic plan was pre¬

sented to him. This took place right In tbe

saered precincts of the L L. C. A. otDce. Since

that day there has been a growing gossip In-

quirir-? into the why and wherefore of The Billboard activity.

Some of the real men and women of the ly-

cenm and cbantanqna are now honestly talking

in whispers about why Tbe Billboard la giving

snch service to this cause, when, to them, It

looks like a losing game.

Two years ago we got out a special laane for

the I. L. A. Convention. It contained 92

pages. Yhere were four and one-half pages of

mnsic In that number. Last year we got ont

a special issue. There were 100 pages, and In

it there were less than eight pages of mnsic.

In the special issue last week we had 132

pages, and fifteen were music ads.

Last year we bad the assistance of Harry M.

Holbrook, Chautanqna Harry, as advertising so¬

licitor. This year we sent ont but one letter to

the members of the I. !.<. C. A. callinfr their at¬ tention to the big convention special. The I.

L. C. A. specials show how the Interest In The

Billboard has grown.

We say this because we have met the stupid

story which Is going the rounds to the effect

that there Is a big pool of circus “Jack,”

carnival “kale” and theatrical “stage money”

being handled In a campaign to bribe the editor

of this dep.irtment and to use it for the purpose

iLof breaking down the high standards of the ly-

A i '::j: and Chautauqua so that tbe carnivals and

pother forms of outdoor amusement may trade on

our cherished reputation. A story that is so

silly that it seems a waste of paper to answer

IMPERSONATOR PLEASED THOSE AT CHAUTAUQUA

The managers of f<ome of tbe eupposedly big

bureaus, some of the poor, spineless talent and

the crumb gatherers, in all walks, may kick

against The Billboard, and they may get all

their friends to do the same, but the facts are

that the reason that we are hated is because

we stand four square for the talent and for those managers who are conducting their bus¬

iness on the level

We have treated the music as one sample of

the way tliat the serried which we have ren¬

dered has paid, as It always does pay, the one

Editorial Comment anybody asks you whether you

X ara an Equity or a Fidelity, say I’m a Fido; that’s the kind of a little guy I am.”—Geo. M. Cohan, at a Fidel¬ ity meeting, as reported in The New York World and several other papers.

There is no menace to the Actors’

Equity Association In the Fidelity I.<eague, and the fruits of the former’s hard-won fight will not be endangered

or jeopardized by the continued ex¬ istence of the latter hateful band or any capacity for mischief it Inherently possesses now.

It has been too thoroly exposed and discredited.

But there are great possibilities for hurt and harm existent in this orgy of forgetting and forgiving, that especially last week was carried to wild ex¬ tremes.

It got out of hand—completely. It gushed. It slobbered. And, undoubtedly. It carried many

young and unthinking Equity members off their feet entirely, while leaving quite a few of the staid and more sober ones puzzled and uncertain.

The Producers, altho they were rather unfair—even unscrupulous—In their tactics, had. If not a reason at least, an excuse for fighting.

Equity leaders are quite content to give them the benefit of the doubt and even to extend the benefits of the am¬ nesty to their confederates, whose in¬ terests were closely allied and inter¬ woven with theirs; to their hirelings, to their press agents, to the house organs and trade press, and even to the kept dailies that lent them their editorial AND NEWS COLUMNS.

But they never Intended overtures of peace should be made to Fidelity mem¬ bers.

They never contemplated such an idea.

They entertain toward most of the latter nothing but feelings of utter con¬ tempt and loathing.

Thej' detest them unequivocally and most heartily.

They want no chasm bridged, no hatchets buried and no wounds healed.

They desire only that the Fidos, hav¬ ing made their beds, sleep in them.

UNDER no circumstances then is

there any chance of a fusion of the two organizations—nor will there ever

There can bo nothing but feud to the bitter end.

Both can not survive. That is unthinkable. Until one or the other is annihilated

there will be no peace—there can not

be. So why blink the issue? There is going to be dissension.

There Is going to be trouble. There is going to be bitterness. There is going to be friction. There Is going to be hard feeling. And there should be. With two rival organizations In the

field an intolerable situation Is created. As it ran not be cured by merging

and can not be endured under any cir¬ cumstances, it must be ended.

It must be ended by warfare. Equity’s fight with the I’roducers has

been won. Equity’s battle with Fidelity is still

on and will be as long as both are In the field—as long as either can put up

a front. But one can—or will—survive. It will be the flttesL

It should be shut off sharply and at once.

It savors entirely too much of fra¬ ternizing with the enemy.

Battles are not won with kisses and soft words.

Nor are causes, however righteous, advanced and furthered by considera¬ tion and regard for those who oppose them.

Warfare is the only way. And it can not be other than ugly,

rude and cruel. You can not refine it. You can not mitigate its barbarisms

nor remove its austerity and harshness. You must be a warrior. You must ostracize. You must cut. You must humiliate. You mu.st affronL You must hurL You must sting. Whenever you find yourself soften¬

ing, just ask yourself “Which? Equity or Fidelity? One only can live.

Which?” The surest way in the world in which

to sacrifice all of Equity’s hard-won fruits of victory is to permit the Fidos’ Joint enjoyment of them to go unal¬ loyed until after they have repented long in sackcloth and aslies.

Vindictive? Vengeful? Not at all. Just wise, expedient and imperative.

“FIDOS” WIGWAG PEACE TO EQUITY

Under the shove headline The New York World. September 10, In reporting a meeting of the Fidelity League, held at the Hotel Astor, New York City, September 9, said:

"The Fidelity meeting in the grand ballroom of the Hotel Astor, at¬ tended by 500 members, was particularly marked by good humor and en¬ thusiasm. They voted satisfaction in the settlement and voiced no hard feeling toward Equity members. They even adopted as their official nickname the term ‘Fidos,’ which had been applied to them frequently in derision.

“President George M. Cohan put it into choice Cohanesque, like this: “ We must start to try to forget, to forgive,’ said Mr. Cohan at

another point. ‘We’ve got to get out of the mess. We’ve got to meet t these people, play with them and travel with them. Ti.eie may be slurs, J but the greatest weapon we can use is kindness.’ ” ▲

After stating that if necessary he would devote every dollar he has 4

in the world toward bringing conditions “back to where they were.” he ♦ concluded as follows, viz.: ^ t

“If anybody asks you whether you are an Equity or a Fidelity, say, T M’m a Fido, that’s the kind of a little guy I am.’ I

“David Warfield went so far as to pay a tribute to the Equity mem- I hers, by saying: i

“ ’We all stand equal today. There has been no victory for anybody, t The Equities fought for a principle they thought was right. When you J consider men giving up lucrative employment for a principle, it means I .something. They had the American Federation of Labor behind them. 4

We stood out alone for a principle, and I am going to pay a compliment ♦ to your organization.’ J

“The Fidelity benefit in the Century Theater was postiHjned to Sep- ♦ tember 28. David Warfield bought the first box yesterday, paying $1,000. x Bessie McCoy-Davis volunteered to appear as ‘Fido.’ The members hopei I to raise $50,000 as a club house fund.” fc i

The leaders of Equity, together with

Its council, and. In fact, the better

thought of the entire association, are quite agreed that to forget and forgive is all right AS FAR AS THE PRO- JITTCING MANAGERS ARE CON¬ CERNED.

SO, and therefore, this peace and

good-will stuff. Insofar as It ap¬

plies to the Producing Managers, Is all right. Go as far as you will with It.

But insofar as It is extended toward the Fidos, it is all wrong.

a fitting finale to the evening’s first part

of the program. Sir. Battis entertained with the character, Little Nell's grandfather, from

the ‘•Old Curiosity Shrp.” II's makeup was

especially fine and his jiortrayal of two scenes

with little Nell w.r8 most pathetic.

The norlbts of this country have adopted a

sitigiiu which is very expressive and tells their

story in these words: TELL IT IN FLOWERS,

llie lycenm and Chautauqua attractions should

not even use flowers of siieecli to express their story. The slogan should be TELL IT IN COM¬

Raoul S. Bonnano, late of the Paris Opera,

I*r. M. C. Kleckner, the lecturer on the Dennis

leaving Portland, Ind. He has a very good sea¬

son booked and Is striking twelve. Tliere is a move on foot to have Keith Vawter

elected president of the Chlroivsllstic Branch of

the I. L. C. A. Keith says that he dwsn’t care to study Lis committeemen unless he can see

their feet. Some feat.

Farmington (la.) Chautauqua closed with a mammoth crowd Simduy. The total re<-eipts were $5,213.84. Thavlu’s Band stayisl ov*t and played an open date Monday night and drew an audi¬

he will not be as busy as his son. Bruce, who

is one of the manager* of the Milton Lycenm

Course. Helen Shepherd, formerly of the Schuliert

Serenaders, and a member of the Australian

party in 1019, arrived In Portland last week

from the East. Miss Shepherd Is to be a mem¬

ber of the “Old Fashioned Girls” company this

fall and winter. P. 8. Joalah Holbrook died fifty years ago and

James Rodpath’s body lies molding in the ground,

but his soul goes marching on, accompanied by much publicity and coached peans of praise, all of which is set to the tune of “Till We Meet

Again,” or the folk song, “Sign Here.”

Ash Davis, cartoonist, who has been filling

Ills Chautauqua bookings with bis auto, will

continue the gasidine tonring this fall in bis

lyceum w<>rk. Railroad strikes have no terror

for Davis. His wife Is touring with him, and

will Continue to do so.

Tlie Coit-.Mber ••hautanquas wound up with pres<'nting “free programs” at East Cleveland at the Municipal Park and at Lakewood High Schoid Grounds. But still we read the overworked

ncwspaiwr story that “we would have to isiy many times this amount to bear this program in

any city.”

Etienne 3f. Knonon. who has retnme<1 from

Prance, after doing educational work for the

Y. M. C. A., will return to the ministry, except

When the Di’mo<Tat and Republican |>artles bare strayt-d farthest from the real purpose for

which they were founded, and when tln-y were most managed by dt'magogs and pretenders, they

were loudest In their praise of Tliomas Jeffer¬

son and Abraham Lincoln. It is also a fact that they were, at. that time, more Interested In flic lavish use of the portraits of Jefferson and Lin¬ coln than they were with pictures of the living

memN-m of their tribe.

WHAT BUREAU HAS THIS CUT-THROAT CLAUSE IN ITS CONTRACT?

Clause 1—The Talcmt Is bound to appear at the advertised place to fill the engagement, and. If for any reason whatsoever the date can not be filled as booked, then the entire loss, including hotel, railroad and fee. etc., will be borne by the Talent.

Clause 2—The Talent is required to sign an agreement to make good any loss of any kind whatsoever thru the failure of the number to please the local committee and the bureau having to make concessions of some kind.

In other words, if the local committee is behind in its guarantee and finds fault with one or more members and the bureau in order to get another contract wipes the slate clean of the deficit, then, according to the cut-throat contract, the Talent will have to stand the loss.

A large niiiirtier of the Isiys of the isuitest game were present and put ou an ex- lelleut show.

Red also won the finals in bronk riding.”

Joe YY'ebb writes: “1 worked the fair at Rut¬ land. Y't., doing a trick riding and roping a<'t in front of the grandstand. Barney iDemarest also furnished a iflne attraction, included In which was a four-horse Liberty act, worked by .Tessie la'c Ntcbols. Demarcst also presented ■Sunshine,’ a beautiful posing horse, and ‘Dude,’ one of the best 'dancing' horses in the menage world; also a bucking mule that will make any one alt np and take notice. Another De- marest attraction was ’Flying Joe.’ one of the world's best high Jumping horses, having a record of clearing a hurdle at seven feet and six inches. Miss iNlchols was the rider In this exhibition and received enthusiastic at>plause. Harvey A Company in The Bedroom Uii-Side 'Down,' presented one of the best balancing acts in the business and were heartily applamied. The Curran Sisters furnished an Iron jaw act that will long be remembered b.v the Vermonters. They lay claim to be the originators of Iron Jaw—at any rate they know their business. The Four Salorles put np a wonderful muscular bai- iincing and revolving trapeze act, aa well as a fine ring act. and were highly appreciated.’’

the opinion of the writer they were th* worst 3)unch of outlaw bucking horses ever gathered together. A. P. Day and Bay Knight, of Al¬ berta, furnished a large anmber of them. Charlie Irwin, of Cheyenne, bad three of his “toiis"’ here. They were *’I-Be-Dam,” ‘VLlght- ning Creek’’ and “Corkscrew.” Mîrty, of Cheyenne, had “Dun Gone.” Dty and Knight bad “Scarhead,” “Black-Cat,” ’’Kenxie Bay” and many others too nnmerons to mention. Weadiok had rounded up a bunch of real out¬ law outside horses, which are In a clasa by themselves, alnong them “Fox,” ’'dlay,” “My- soop Gray,” “Trouchn Bed,” “Socks.” “Kaa- lo,” “Yellow Jacket,” “Dyaamltek” “Giles (Midnight.” “Slim the Swede” and “I-Uee-C.” There were four monies up as prises In thfl (Inals of the bmnk riding, but out of the eeven men the Judges picked to ride off for the final money all were bucked off or dlaqualifled but two. The men who got to the flnals and did not draw money were of tbe opinion that tbe third and fourth money should be divided be¬ tween them. ’Tbe Judges said no. That when they were backed off or dlaqualifled in the flnals they bad no more right to collect than any of the boys who were backed off before they reached the finals. Tbe Judges announced that even ttm tb«y got bucked off aod did not win for that reason there were better riders got bucked off than the men who won tbe m'vney. In other words, the two men who collected first end second money collected because they had stayeil above their final borses, but that they considered Dan Smith, Miles Clark, Williaui Ritchie and Wtrawbery Reil Woll the men who had put up the best rides at The Starat»eile. according to the rules, until they got buckeil off, which, of course, eliminated them frim collecting money. ’The Judges annoiiin-ed tliat third and fourth money could not be given tiy them to anyone, for, according to the rules, all bad been bucked off or dlsqnailfled.

A big night show was held In the Horse Show Building on the grounds every night, and^ It was concevleil by all to be the best IVild West exhibition ever put on in a building.

SELLING $80,000,000 WORTH OF GOODS ON YEAR’S CREDIT

It Is Done at the Great Nizhni Novgorod Fair With Only Signing of Xhir as Security—Veritable

Carnival of Buying—Opportunity for American Manufacturers

The great Russian F>ir at Nlihnl Novgorod has just come to a close with a record of sales proAtably never before equaled, sales totaling close to 180,000.000.

When we in America speak of a fair we have In mind an exhibition of agricultural products and a comparatively small line of manufactured articles, together with a seemingly endless array of amusement and entertainment fea¬ tures.

But in Eurojie a fair Is a great trade mart, where merchants from all parts of the country flock to bargain for every conceivable sort of commodity, from face powder to wind miliH; a huge market with thousands of sbu|>s, large and small; tens of thousands of buyers, bun- dreda of thousands of visitors, and a credit system that would amaze American business men. There are. It is true, some entertain¬ ment features, but they are Indepenilent of the fair, and the less said of them the better, I'erha ps.

Much has been written of the Impoverished condition of Russia, and the chaotic conditions that are said to exist, all of which prolmbly is very true of certain parts of the country, but If one may judge liy reisirts coming from Nizhni Novgorod he Is apt to (-onelmie that money Is plentiful and business moving along in the ev,gi tenor of its »iiy, whi<-U also doubt¬ less is true within limitations.

During the first five weeks of the fair the business done approximatetl JlO.POO.tiOO a week; the fair was visited by close to half a milUou l>eople and there w-ere To.tssi buyers in at¬ tendance. For six weeks the usually sleepy city was a seething market place, with some¬ thing like 4.0(S1 shops displaying wares of every conceivable sort and the thonsands of buyers almost fighting for the privilege of

A. M. HUNT,

Secretary of the Western Fair Associa¬ tion, London, Canada

For fourteen years A. M. Ilimt has occupied

ordering great quantities of good% both neces¬ sities and luxuries.

The enormous demand was wholly unexpected by the shopkeepers, as they, too, seemed to tiiink tliut eruditions tbniout Russia were un¬ favorable for trade. But Instead of a light demand and pleas for extension of time on goods previously bought the buyer*, almost without exceptl(m, dis,-harged their last year’s obligations and ]ilaeed new- orders that have outdistancetl all previous records. It was a veritable carnival of buying. The sellers, few of whom had new gomis for imme<liate de¬ livery, were nonplussed. J-’ew even had new samples. But the buyers were clamorous and iQKistcnt. so, yielding to their imis^rtunities, the sellers, with old, shopworn samples and in¬ definite tiromlses of delivery “whenever possi¬ ble,” acceptetl orders that stagger the imagi¬ nation. and extended cretllt freely, ntoney rates going as high as 118 per cent.

Until within ree-ent years nothing was sold by sample at the Nizhni Novgonsi Fair. It has been the custom to have the entire stock of goods on hand and to deliver them at on<’e to the customers. Now ail is changed. By far the greater part of the sales were by sample

Trenton, N. J.. Sept. 13.'—The fart that this has been the year of the greatest arhlevements In the history of the hnman rare baa been kept Ip. nilnd by the management of the Trentoo Inter-State Fair, Col. M. H.

E. Pogue has bad a force of men at work re- babllirating the buildings and gruumls. “Altbo this Is a big Job.” says Mr. Pogue, “the result will be that everything will be in pro|>er con¬ dition for the holding of the great fair next month. The (lovernment treated us very fairly in the matter of damages, and has already settled with the as*,Mlation. The <’o*t of re¬ pairing the damages and getting everything in pisgter condition will l>e thousands of dollars, but the public w-111 be the gainer, as many Im- l>rovement8 are being made.”

The entrie* for the fair to date are the beat In its history, Mr. IV'gne says, and the en- thUKlasm manifested In all parts of the State Indicates that the fair will eclipse those of any previous year b.v fully fifty [mt cent.

FREE STATE FAIR

At Muskogee, Ok., Promises To Be Big¬ gest Exposition Slate Has Ever Had

Muskogee, Ok.. Sept. 13.—Entries In every dei<artment of the Uklalmma I'ree State Fair, to lie held here September S* to OctiA>er 4. are coming In earlier this year. One reason for tills is that the fair this year will be the big¬ gest exiM>sit1en Oklalsmia has e>er had, and liC'-ause ef the tremendous in rense in tlie num¬ ber of new exbibitoni entries are being made earlier.

Another and most lmis>rtant reason 1* the new rule regarding entries, instituteil by Mrs. Ethel Murray SImonds, sw-refary of the fair. This rule provides for the closing of the entry books Septesitier IN*. IVisitlvely wi entries will be recel>e<l after that date, and the force of entry clerks will devote the remalisler of the time before the op,>nlng of the fair to bring up the books so that the premium aw-ards can be made w-ithont the confusion that has existcl in previous years.

The fact tluit the entries close Septemtier ‘JO does not moan that articles entered must l>e placed at tliat time. Exhibitors are asked to Be<-ure their entry tickets before that time, but articles for exhibition at the fair will lie re¬ ceived at the usual time. Some of the exhib¬ itors In the Women’s Department, esjiei-lally, eeem to have become confused in this matter.

FI Paso, Ill., Bept. 1.3.—The 20th annnal Wisidford County Fair, held here, will for the first time In its history show more than $4.0il0 profit, and this is largely due to the bniad- mlndedness and isimmon sense used hy the active official*, namely, Mr. De Mette, presi¬ dent; II.

At Kentucky State Fair—Visitors in City Protest Against High Cost

of Lodgings

lioulsrille. Ky.. Sept. 15.—With a street ear strike, with ears manned by strike breakers stoned by striker), this year's attendaii<-e at the Kentucky State Fair fell far l»eli>w |.re\|. oua rreurds. altlio tlie exiillilta and entertain¬ ment features were of a higher standard than ever b)-f<>re.

All week long the city had le-en crowded with out-of-town visitors, sud ti.e hotels and rsitu- ing houses bare been reaping a bountiful ban- est with prices aky high. .Many people were unable to find accommodalioa. while others, un- wiltlDg to stand for the ledd-up prices, left town disgusted. For the past fifteen years the selfsame coadltion has existisl, and it -eenis a pity tliat some efforts i-an net be made to furnish ai-commodatlnn for the fair visitors sd'I to regulate the hotel prices by Ls-al agree¬ ment.

The State Fair of Kentucky is a consldershle asset to Bouisvllle, and wime organUe,! scheme should be workisl out to n-Iieve the serious condition which has prevailed during fair week ever since the first annual event fifteen years ago.

Some of the liest rai-ing ever seen in the State was a part of the grand stand pP'gram, and the circus entertainment in the Illjip'- drome, which was umlcr tlie penomal dlreeth-n of Ed F. Carruthcra, of the I'nited Pair Booking .\ss<a-iation, was an all-star offering. Tlie W.H-lil at Home Sliows, w-lth twenty-file separate attractions, was the midway feature, and all of the shows were well patr>nUed la spite of the adverse condliloos.

Three Times Fire Threatens To Destroy Midway at Kansas State Fair at Topeka, But Little

Damage is Wrought—Business and Weather Both Remarkable

Topeka, Kan., Sept. IS.—Favored by remark¬ able weather Clarence -A. Wortham's World Best h'huws played to remarkable business all of this week at tbe Kansas State Fair at To¬ peka. The allows arrived late Sumluy evening and on aeeount of the fair opening Monday iiuirnlug the entire bIk>w family remained up all night getting things into shipshape to start with a whirl at the tup of the liell.

It was an exeiting week fur the showfolk, as three fires bo>ke out in the carnival reservation during its stay. The wind was from the tiouth- east and swept tbe flares of exphxleil fireworks fired in front of tbe grand stand directly over (lie Wortham city of tents. Monday night there was ono Are which was quickly Btopi<ed l>y the caraival family, and Tuesday night tliere were two more biases. These, however, dill little damage.

The fireworks company cbangeil the location of Us mortars and took the fire brands out of range of Uie carnival conqiany.

Edgar Neville, the contracting agent and pro¬ moter, changed jobs at Topeka. He took charge of the four rides with the shows and will con¬ tinue to manage them for tbe Wortham Inter¬ ests. Mabel 8wan, the rlghte<'n-year-old girl, wlio trains seals and then works with them In a huge tank, baa made qnlte a hit with her latest iriKluctlon, “Bubbles.” Bubbles Is as well trained as any dog, and the addition of Mist Swan to the water show is a welcome one.

C. W. Parker Just can not keep away from file lot. Ho dropped in Tuesday night for a visit with Bernard Geret.v. the assistant to Manager FYed Beckmann. Mr. Parker announced flint he had struck oil on his holdings south of ICansaa City, and that the new well promised a fortune. He Is also a big holder in the Flossel oil fields of Wyoming.

''Sllin'’ Wren, who has made quite a show¬ ing with his Dylo Show this season, is looking for something to strengthen his ballyhoo. Here¬ tofore he has always held his own In drawing his crowd, hut “Scotty” Maxwell, who lias the stage in front of the Circus Side Show, aroused ••Slim's” Jealousy. Maxwell uses quite sne- cesafully two monkeys and a i>lg on his stsge.

Wren says tliat is unprofessional, but be still hold his own in tbe free-for-all marathon among side-show talkers.

General Manager Fred Beckmann has been very Im-ky of late in making tbe town ahead to lay out the lot liefore the show gets in. This saves DO end of time and worry and facll- itates the quicker movement of the shows.— WHITE.

ON WITH THE DANCE!

Great Britain, whlcli meana London particu¬

larly. la promised a dancing boom this \rlnter.

The American doughboy, more than anything

else, caused the added interest in dancing

hereabouts. Following the armistice, no amount

o( dances were booked “all over town.’* The

style of Che American doughboy on .he dance

floor brought him into much popularity. At

least the London belles claim as much. The

doughboy iias started the dancers on a wild

campaign to revive dancing .ss it has never

been considered. It’s diflicult to give any

specific reason for the promised dancing bo^un

lint “it’s in the air’’ and the editor of L»n-

.1.111 s "Dnncing Times” agrees with the foK-

cast.

opin^on^ differ as to whnt will take the place

..f the Jazr. It goes without fear of dispute

that the doughboy jazzed liondon to a fare-

thee-well, so to speak. What will take the

place of the Jazz, it Is harl to predlc'-

.V.'.'.TdIug to the views of the dltor of the

•Dan.-ing Times,” the tango will not be re-

aIvoiI. “Instead,” the editor thinks, “a new

Spanish .me-step called the ‘rn(*> D>.iblc’ will

be in.nigurated. There may be an attempt

by tlic music publishers to boom Hawaiian

music. It is more tuneful than Jazz.”

One startling statement by this same editor

lias it thusly; “If only our dancers would

support home iudustrles, make n clean sweep

of tlie colored musicians, and engage British

bands our dance music would improve greatly.

The increasing popularity of the valse will

lielp to bring this about, aa the colored must-

i-Uns play the raise very Indifferently. The

boom In fancy drees dances will continue bnt

there is no chance-for the minuet. It Is un-

sulted for the modem male costume.”

Americans are Inclined to agree with the

reference to a possibility of Hawaii.in music

lielng the craze. Mr. Tully’s “Bird of Para-

I'lse," .>iiens here shortly, and this will be

just abotit enough to set the Hawaiian fanciers

into proper step, it’s onr guess anyway.

WALTER PRICHARD EATON On the Actors’ Affiliation With Labor

During the strike Walter Prichard Eaton made In the The New York Tribune some sensible and highly edifying observations on the common cause of artistry and labor, which shouid not be allowed to be forgotten now that the struggle is over.

Among other things, he said: •'The actors’ strike, viewed from afar and consequently freed from

the passions which have no doubt clouded it, has seemed rather a simple and natural (if unexpected) thing. For that reason it is a little difficult for one who is now an outsider, tho once Intimately connected with the theater and still numbering many actors as his best friends, to under¬ stand, not the refusal to stand by the strike, perhaps, but the evidently honest belief of some players that their art and the labor of. let us say, the maker of shoes or steel rails have nothing in common; that their art is lowered tn dignity by co-operation with union labor."

*******

"The theaters of America today are concentrated in a very few hands, and, furthermore, for other reasons we can not go into here, it has come about that the theaters in a few cities, and chiefly New York, are essen¬ tial to success. Without appeuing in these theaters flrst there is small hope of successful appearance in theaters elsewhere. The few men. there¬ fore, who control these (as well as most of the other) theaters, are quite analogous to the factory owners who control the machinery, with¬ out the use of which the shoemaker can not make shoes. The actor is quite analogous to the “wage slave,’ not quite, perhaps—but not because his acts are more dignlfled; only because there is a more striking dif¬ ference in value between two actors than between two shoemakers.”

*«***•« “The man who owns tho factory, tho man who owns the theater (the

physical plant), is the master. The actors have united, and united with labor, in strict obedience to an iron law. Those of them who can not see this and go on prattling of tho dignity of their art (as if there were no dignity in labor) are mere survivals of the early nineteenth century.

"I have no idea how the strike is coming out. It may have been settled before this reaches print, or the League of Nations may have taken it up, or Cohan may have decided to run for President. But, however it results, if it shows the actors that so long as the physical playhouse is held by real estate speculators and not by artists of the theater, they, the artists, are mere wage slaves (however high their wages run), and that aa far as the true art of the theater is concerned most managers are as useless aa mosquitoes or garter snakes, their 'R’bole pontifleal im¬ portance coming from sheer economic control. Some of us have been laughed at for years because we persisted in scoring the ‘commercial’ theater. The present situation is the logical development of the ‘commer¬ cial’ theater. Tho actors’ strike is, in reality, in line with the world¬ wide revolt against the system of private exploitation thru concentrated economic control. If there la no dignity in the Actors’ Equity, then there is no dignity in any revolt of the human spirit against bondage. Per¬ haps Mr. Cohan, wrapping himself in the folds of tho grand old rag’ he loves so well, and which was born of a certain revolution some years since, will affirm that there isn’t.”

There is lots of ammunition in the above for use against the Fldos. The war against this cabal must go on. It must be annihilated—root and branch. There is only room for one organization, and that is Equity.

THE SELWYNS PRESENT

HOLBROOK BiLlNN IN “THE CHALLENGE”

By EUGENE WALTER

“The Challenge” is a play of today. It deals with the nnrest per¬ vading the wage earners and small salaried folk of America, which partly as a reflex of movements going on all over the world prior to 1914 and partly as a result of the rapid development of thought in the forcing atmosphere of the hot-house of war, the country has been prepared for many daring innovations in industrial organization and for a revolution in the standards by which social life and industry are Judged.

Mr. Walter’s philosophy, as it is expounded in the play, seems to hold that these aspirations of the masses are mere ebullitions of discon¬ tent, vague and blind gropings, foredoomed to prove vain. He holds a brief only for the brains and ability which direct and utilize labor, and is strongly disposed to condone, at least, a tempered and enlightened selfishness on their part.

Of the other factors in the privileged classes, of the men who are ruthless sweaters and grinders, of those that have only the one talent, but that acquisitiveness of the idle rich inheritee, of the sharper pure and simple, the gambler and the hundreds of other kinds of nonproducers, he says no word, and these facts A8’hen coupled are liable to lay him as a philosopher, open to the charge of lack of understanding.

There is no denying his temerity, however. The working classes Jiave probably never been addressed more candidly and plainly, in terms so peremptory and positive and In language and illustration so well adapted to their understanding.

Out of such solid and substantial meat, moreover, the author has wrought a most interesting and very diverting play. His action, it Is true, has to be mostly dragged in, but he does this so cleverly that the fact never once obtrudes Itself while serving him admirably In avoiding the pitfalls of talkiness.

The play is in a prolog, three acts (the third in two scenes) and an f'lilog, the scene of all of which, save the prolog (a French hospital near the front), is in a New England manufacturing city, the capital of tho State.

The east is a huge one. there being twenty-three speaking parts and a Avhole army of supers. Air. Blinn is thrown away on his role, but Allan Dinehart does some admirable acting. Joseph I’hysioc painted tlie scenes and they are well done.

"The Challenge” is a pronounced hit. It may or it may not prove an enduring one, but whether it does or it does not, it has demonstrated capacities for serious endeavor in Eugene Walter that will hardly be suffered to lapse with this one effort.

Broadway—sophisticated, supercilious and sensation-sated—laid aside I all of its patronizing airs and frankly and delightedly capitulated to the ^ i novelty and charm of a season of magic with the coming of Thurston, ♦ the famous magician, to The Globe. September 8. ^

He opened to the capacity of the house celebrated all over the world t • as the home of Charles Dillingham's brilliant productions, and thoroly Z

beguiled, diverted and pleased its fastidious and discriminating clientele. ^ Enmantled of Kellar, splendidly schooled by long study of and appli- ♦

cation to his art, and fortified with the enthusiasm and genius of the real i devotee, Thurston is a master magician. t

But he is more—a great deal more. J He is above all things an entertainer—an entertainer of parts and A

distinction, who brings to bear ui>on his work a subtle showmanship that ♦ is admirable in the extreme. 4

His invasion of the street had been well canvassed and discussed for t weeks before his advent, and the prediction of the wise ones had been: I "Broadway does not want to be mystified, it craves only to be show’n,” I which may or may not be true. Only a Scotch verdict can be rendered ♦ on that score, but what was proved again, and for the thousandth time, is 4 that Broadway loves to be entertained—and Thurston entertained it. T

Broadway is not the hypercritical, exacting and difficult region that I w« co« it is quite generally supposed to be. There are hundreds of cities in 4 baler i America much more captious and difficult to please, and, as Thurston ♦ wiioon»in had made good over and over again in them, his triumphant New York ♦ season was a foregone conclusion. t

Broadway is merely novelty-craving and sensation-loving. Thurs- I ton's production fully met these requirements. Let it be said in passing. 4 moreover, that it is a production—a production in every essential mean- 4 ing and understanding of the term and a very’ fine one. ♦

ACTORS' INCREASED INFLUENCE MEANS CLEAR- ii ER SKIES FOR ARTISTIC DRAMA

<> People who produce plays have bills to pay, like other people, and, <> |> like others, they are forceci Into bankruptcy if they do not pay. An artistic

play that can not meet expenses has to be taken off. So there has to be a business man In every play-producing organization, and this business ,,

,, man is compelled by the laws of his being to refuse to produce artistic ,, i> plays for which he thinks the public w'lll be unwilling to pay enough to <> '> meet the expenses, and to produce some Inartistic plays for which he '• ■' thinks the public will pay handsomely. If some one will endow a com- I’ pany of actors they can produce very good plays for which there Is only ,, a slight commercial demand, but that Is another matter. The (Tommerclal ,, <« theater, of whose workings we have recently learned so much. Is es- <> " sentially a thing of compromise between what the public actually wants " and what it cjin be educated to want, and of struggle between people who

desire good plays and those who desire profitable plays. If the stage is ,, o regarded chiefly as a money-making business, as some producers do re- ,> o gard It. the plays-produced wMll be Just as cheap. Just as vxilgar. Just as o o superficial, Just as false to life, as is necessary In order to bring In Im- " mediately large returns. There will always be some producers who will ‘J

put the art first and be thoroly satisfied if the returns balance the ex- I jienses, but these producers will find It harder to survive than those who <>

o look for the money first, and, consequently, fewer of them will surv-lve. <> The tendency will always be toward the money-making play, which only "

" once in a while will be the truest and most artistic play. ” The ideal solution, from the point of view of those who think of the ,,

.. stage as a serious field for national genius. Is, perhaps, the co-operative o " players’ organization firing a producer and endeavoring to make no more <> " than expenses and reasonable, living Incomes. There are already such *’ " associations; one of them produced “John Ferguson,” one of the most

successful plays staged in New Tork this year. But they grow- slowly, | o and if they displace the commercial producer It will be by easy and <» '• painless steps. The one result of the late unlamented strike, in which " every person who goes to the theater for any loftier purpose than to have

his ribs tickled must be interested, is the increased influence uf the o actors, which, it is evident, must lead eventually to better, if still com- J o mercial, plays. 4

A REVERBERATION

JAMES METCALFE IN LIFE

The Individual actor has suffered more than anyone else thru the arropanc* of the monopoly. If he could bring money to the box-offle© he was pampered and spoiled, perhaps even overpaid. If he was not es¬ sential, his feelings, even his rights, were likely to be Ignored, and if he protested too strongly against injustice or bad treatment he knew it meant the loss of his means of livelihood. Arrogance at the top meant arrogance on the part of every parasite manager who axiated by favor of the monopoly, and these in turn passed it on to their subordinates, even to the point that the insolence of office boys in theatrical managers’ offices is of the most offensive brand of office boy insolence.

Arrogant treatment is, of course, not a sufficiently heinous cause for a serious revolt, but its long continuance has helped as much as anything else to cement the first organized resistance that the actors of America have put up against the theatrical monopoly. The bitterness it has en¬ gendered among a peculiarly sensitive class is largely responsible for the loyalty of Its members to the Actors’ Equity Association. They have more material and more substantial grievances, but It is the open con¬ tempt of the monopoly and its satellites for the actor that gives the actor his tenacity in the present revolt and has enabled him to discover that alone he was helpless, but In union w*lth his fellows he can command a hearing and obtain something like fair treatment.

The apparent unreasonableness of the refusal of the monopolists and their dependent managers to negotiate with the Actors’ Equity Associa¬ tion is now easy to understand. It is the first time that managers have had to deal with the actor except with the advantage all on their side. It means virtually the end of a powerful organization’s absolute control over the defenseless individual. And power is a hard thing to relinquish.

Public sympathy is unquestionably with the actors.

This picture has only fair salus. Tech-

THE HTOHY l.X SKELETON FORM

The otory revolves around a pirl of preat chas¬

tity, who comes to the hip wirketl city from a

country town. i*he turns with tciTv>r from the

riotous festivities of the iisslern Rahylon and

seeks employment as a nurse. She Is asked to

and lied about her the nlplit he had hroupht her

home from a pay Xew Year's celebration. Tlie

blind mao believed that she was rvally a wanton

and when be recovers bis sipht and recopnizes

her, he tama away from her. In the meantime

time, lie too, learns that Gypsy has been stolen

from her parentr! years before awl tries to Iwlnp

the family together. But the real father is his bitterest enemy and takes the pirl In but sends

the lover adrift. Gyiwy rebels at her new mode

of life and tries to run away from the arranged

marriage with a rascal. She is saved in time

by (lie boro, ecnviwlnp the father that he Is

ik'lnp wTonp and wlnninp his consent to their

Immediate wedding.

CRITIC.kL X-R.\T

There Is plenty of local color In thlj oreexy

story and the cirrus folk look very natural in their various parts.' especially the fat boy and

riding masters. Rut the Introdm-tlon of a most

hum.sn-like chimpanzee was unnecessarily dis¬

agreeable. Intrutlucinp these freakish lociklnp

ercatiin-s on the screen detracts from half Its

charm. It repels finer taste and affects nervous

women and cliildreii.

Nothing very exciting happens thru the telling of this simple narrative, hut It affords the young

star opportunity to appear natural and girlish. Before the last reel she is (lermtteil to dress like

a society debutante, and this forms a contrast

most aiveptahly. No aiding strength is ne<-es-

sary, hut a certain amount of live interest will hold the attention, more so fur Its love romance

tlian for any intrinsic value that the picture may contain.

Jack Mulhall was pleasing as the hero and a

p >od cnarai-ti r delineation was contributed by Willard Louis as ('rump, being the typical barker of a side-show »o familiar to the fre<iuenters of

the sawdust arena.

The photoplay was weak In spots, lighting bad.

THE WOMAN’S POINT OF VIEW

This picture la welcomed for Its clean theme.

sensuality, forming a atrong contrast and p. r

mlttinp the star to shine as an'elepautly purlsel

gentleman and as a poor, broken. derelb-t. de¬

serted by friends and fortune. .\n objection

might be raised to depicting women of sis-iety

as ramplres and those of easy virtue, but it

affords an Intimate insight into the lives of the

upper class whose refined environment ran w’

eoneeal their moral frailties. Ily|sH-rlsj- L

seen In all its baseness. Bnt there is rsdorful

action, alluring and spirited in the masipie ball

and audacious dancing by a crowd of wild rev¬

elers, not to forget the richly gowneil social

functions which fill many early scenes.

Engene O’Brien caught the right spirit of the

yvoing artist struggling against tenii»tati»ns. and

the last sirnes with his frail wife were In¬

finitely tender and appealing. Marguerite Conr-

tot played this role admirably, symbolizing the

purity and sweetness of the eharaeter.

Lucille Stewart looked and acted the part

of the sensuous society woman, whose smug

veneer covered a deceitful heart. Mary Boland

had the right conception of the cast-off vampire.

The ending of play a trifle t<si abrupt and smne-

wliat vague.

THE WOMAN’S POINT OF VIEW

T’he world is alway.s interested In stories of

this type, ami the appeal to women Is umiues-

tioiied. The pnslaetion Is sn expensive one.

the cast notable for Its ability and the story

possesses those subtle iiualities whirb make for

A novel idea cf insuring an engagement

of a titled Britiaher with an American

heiress and the spontaneous humor which

resulted form the basic theme of this

original photoplay. Magnificently presented

and cleverly acted by Bryant Washburn.

Reviewed by MARION RI RBELL

A graphic picture cf humor and grim tragedy, constructed from authentic dcscrip.

tion of the war's most memorable episode.

Patriotism and terrifle struggle of entrapped men supply abundance of thrills.

STORY IN SKELETON TORM

Lord llarrowby, grriving in the Tnlted States

ti> wed Cynthl Meyrick, heiress, has Lloyds of

Ixmdun insure against the lady changing her

mind. Dick Minot, of the office staff, is as¬

signed to the task of preventing that calamity. l»eH|)lto ills infatnatiun for the girl he is

loyal to Ills firm and does everything In his

iKiwer to bring about the wedding. But com-

nlications and various obstacles almost upset his

plan* until the heiress poettlrely decided she

will not wed the nobleman, so Dick comes into

i:- nun. despite titles and wealth.

THE CRITICAL X-RAY i* i* u thoroly charming picture placed amid

liigli-class surroundings, rich in humor and played

. .Ill dcli'-ate subtlety. Planting the story in

• ■ t an altogether logical position one forgets Its

inprnbabilities. for the consequent action is so

vitally alive and brimful of artistic screen

"ituutions. And such a cast! The spectator

feel* that the play is secondary to the capable

men and women who flgnre In its telling.

Nothing more delightful than the work of Theo¬

dore Roberts, Lois Wilson, Frank Elliot and

Bryant Washburn has been seen upon the silver

sheet. They present the picture with a finesse

that Is rarely seen, and in this case has much

to do with the suc<'ess of the screen version.

The social atmosphere is constantly In evi¬

dence. and the swell hotels at the Florida re¬

sort, harmonious Interiors and correct costum¬ ing give the picture Its proper frame.

Well lighted, finely directed and excellent

camera results stump the seal of perfectabllity

upon the showing.

THE WOMAN'S POINT OF VIEW

We find BO mtieh that Is attractive In this

i picture that we vote for an encore of the same

* brand. It is showings of this kind which np-

liold the standard of motion pictures.

“GOVERNOR” ROBINSON

Receives Interesting Letter From Old- time Circus Follower

’•Governor" John F. I’<»bin—in received the following Interesting letter recently from a fomi-r tr ujier, who re< alls events of many years ago:

Enterprise. Ind.. Sept. 1. 1019. (Post-Office, Xew Bock]*>rt. Ind., Kt. No. S).

To "GovemoF* John K. Iloblniein. I»ear Sir—This probably may be an nnwelcfime

letter or possibly a surprise. However, wish to say the John Robinson .Show was the first rlrcns or big show the writer ever saw. This was In tbe suit'iner of Ifirsl. and It was an eye or>ener to a lb-year-o!d country kid. Ever since we have kept tab on tbe name of the John Robin¬ son Show Co., and so It was t’le making of history in onr life.

In ItdM S|>alding & Rogers' Big Floating Pal¬ ace Show ^>at. towed by the big side wbe<’I. tbree-latiler steamer, James Raymond, got caught on French Island bar Just below. It bad to lay up on account of loir water, and did not g(»t out until late In October, that fall. They had VanAmberg'a menagerie oa the Palace. They were sure out of lock, lying here f<» nearly three rmmths la the best of showing time, fee’ling that big menagerie tad their many ani¬ mal keepers and trainera. all a dead laatie to the company. I think Hpalding h Briers prob¬ ably had the menagerie Icase^ aa VanAniherg waa not with IL Tbe fleet flnally got away lata la October, and with It the writer, wbe

shipi>ed on the steainlsut ns a BJ-year-oM or- fihun kid. I do nut regret my a'lsoclation with those iH’opIe. I was with them for a year and t half, then off six ni iuths and back with them again, when they had a circus on the floating palace, which we were with at the fis>t of nin.nl street In New Orleans. In the early part af, February, 1H.V>. we slarteil fur Cincinnati, S lowing all the good stand* en route, and for the benefit uf those who kick on account of hard work. fiiT whole weeks we ma.'.e 10 o'chw-k stands, then ran on Into our ~ p.m. and night stands, and w1:lle It seemed a little hard on some, the company always came out on the g 'Idea side of the ledger. .\* for a history of the end of ttpa!ding A Roger* lôatiiig Fleet, w# *«’vered our relation* with It In PCW, acd the last sight we had of the old Palace she waa painted yellow, and bud up yellow fisgs, labeled small |k>i. all over It. If 1 rememlier Tighk at the dice of the war ahe burned near oa al New Albany.

' circus iieofde wf saw Clown Thayer maka bla first apiiearance as a clown In the ring flf the floating palaee; also saw Mike Lipmnn and Da* fastello and iiiaiiy other show jieople In the early year* of 1*07 to Isthl. I tierwinal- ly knew as a t*>y. all the oldtimer* no to Istkt. and reineinber them well to the present day

We ask forgiveness for Intruding on your valuable time, and ho|>e the name of John Rob inson'* Show will live until 'he end of show' time. Yours,

Before parting they decide that they will have

In the KCis'Od act they meet after three years

The financier Is bolding down a position as

runner f. r a b nd house, the engineer Is chauf¬

feur on a laal; the lawyer has been so busily

engngist lu the lawsuits his wife’s property was

entangled with that he has no time to engage

In lucrative pnictlce; the musician has a Job as

a piano tuner; while Madge, who hca pursued the

lnde|>endcnt life, has earntsl a thousaml dollars

up by the lartles to the agreement. Then

human nature asserts itself and they all stand

ready to repudiate the ismtract. Madge la

deeply offended at his having given up hU ideals

and entered the marls of trade. She would

have weddeil him if he had stuck to hln Ideals

and been » successful failure—-but the Idea of

roarrjlag a •‘garb-nge king”—no, never!

The third act lakes place two years later.

the assistana'e of an imkm'wn capitalist, who has

financed the mvnnfactnring and marketing of

her wonderful iuvealiun. Imagine her chagrin

WALTER L. MAIN SHOW

To Have Long Season South—Business Very Satisfactory

The Walter L. Main Show has been having .x most prosperous tour. With a few exceptions the territory that has been Invaded and shown has proven all that could be expected, and bus¬ iness very satisfying to the management. The show has already covered over fourteen States, and with the intended route as is being planneil by the advance show will cover more ter¬ ritory on Ita 1910 tour than It "has ever covered before. A 'long season South Is looked forward to.

Mrs. Sadie Keen, one of the Ironjaw acts with the show, who had the misfortnne of dropping from the top of the tent while doing her act recently, remained in Henderson, Ky.. to bare an x-ray taken of the Injured members of the back, bat will rejoin the show In tbe near fu¬ ture. .Mrs. Andrew Downie and nle<-e. Florence, were the guests of Manager and Mrs. Charles Sparks of the Sparks Shows, wrhtle tbe Main Show was playing Mt. Vernon. III., and the Sparks Shows were in Bent-vn. only 22 mtlaa apart. Fletcher Smith, press representative of tbe Sparks Circus, waa a visitor to tbe show at Mt. Vernon, where the house was packeil matinee and eight. He left the show praising the per¬ formance and staff. Sallle Hughes, cashier of tbe candy stands. Is somewhat under tbe weath¬ er, owing to the malaria that is raging around the show on its way South. Jimmie Ilerron, tbe treasurer of the show, is getting to be quite a ccmcesslon "king.” With 'Miss Meyers as bis assistant on tbe hoopla, he Is making tbe na¬ tives sto-v and look at the flashiest concession on the big midway of the show. Jobnny Park¬ er, superintendent r.-erve seat tickets. Is get ting Ills s’-are of the receipts, and from all In¬ dications Jobnny wil; have a show of bis own In the near future. Want to buy a horse or v.’iec!*'arr"W, Parker? Joseph Hughes, the legal adviser, and his assistant. B. G. Am«dea. are meeting the officials with a smile, ami leave the town with a handshake and a good word for Uie staff and class of performance and class of people carried hy the show. Mr. Hughes is a very capable man. and everybody speaks a good word for "Jitney Joe.”

.Manager Downie is a busy man these days, attending to bis many business matters and. althn business before pleasure, be Is always on hand to extend a hand of welcome to the visiting showmen.

Mail is sometimes lost and mix-ups esult because perfoi mere 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 addrees the lette' 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.(S)

If your name appears in the 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 be forwarded without the necessity of advertising it. Postage is required only for packad**—letter eervice is abso¬ lutely free.

Mail is hold but thirty days, and can not be recovered after it goes to the Dead Letter Office.

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

Actors, Actresses and Artists who elect to make their permanent address in care of The Billboard may, <' of course, choose any of our branch offices, i. e„ New York, Chicago, 8t. " Louis or San Francisco, but are advised, if they are en route, to consider the home office carefully. 4

CINCINNATI IS BUT THIRTY-ONE MILES FROM THE GEO- t GRAPHICAL CENTER OF POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES ,, AND CANADA, and it follows naturally that less delay will ensue in the <’ handling and forwarding of your mail. "

We want our service to continue to be, as it always has been, the <> very best and promptest, and, therefore, we recommend “PERMANENT " ADDRESS, CARE OF THE BILLBOARD, CINCINNATI."

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

LETTERS ARE HELD THIRTY DAYS ONLY, ;;

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