THE VISION” PRESENTED BY ATLANTA WOMAN’S CLUB

AUanta. Ga., Jan. 3.—“The Vtelon,” a Chrlst-

maa masque, one of the most elaborate pro¬

ductions that has ever appeared on any stage

in the South, was presented at the Atlanta

Auditorium last Saturday and Sunday by the

.\tlauta Woman's Club. The masque was writ¬ ten and directed by Mrs. Earl Sherwood J«ek-

•nn, a Southern writer, and there were more

ia;n 200 people in the cast.

The story was a nunsectarlan message to the

world, based on the nativity at Christ. It was presented in fifteen episodes, and during the

two days at the Auditorium was witnessed by

almost 15,000 people.

DIFFICULT FOR SHOWS TO GET CONSECUTIVE BOOKING

Chicago, Jan. 3.—Chicago is confronted wrlth

aomethiug new in amuaemeut circles, the first manifestation of which is the almost total

dearth of new shows being organized at the

this is because there is enormous dlfflcnlty en¬

THE TABLOID SHOW

By B. A. PEXEBXAN

(It coven the enbject. From the Impartial

pen of n man of taperience, who baa aerved In

the capacities ef manager, producer and per¬

former.)

The origin and early development of the

"tab” show was treated of at length in the

writer’s initial article on this subject, which

appeared In the 1917 Christmas number of Tlie

Billboard. This affort, therefore, will be de¬

voted, In the main, to tbe steady and amazing

growth of one of the most popular forms of

entertainment, incorporating tbe obstacles en¬

countered, their remedies and timely sugges¬

tions that should, in tbe writer’s estimation,

tend to further Improve this brand of amuaa-

ment.

The fact, however, that any number of pres¬ ent-day managers claim tbe dlstincltion of

having organized and introduced tbe tlrst com¬

pany of thla kind. It would be unfair to men¬

tion tbe names of a few pioneers responsible

for tbe success that has been attained. Farther,

the reader la prevailed upon to bear In mind

that the figures appearing below are authentic

ami that tbe writer, having served In the ca¬

pacities of performer and manager, respectively.

Is decidedly impartial In recording tbe follow¬

ing conditions and suggestions for their amelio¬ ration.

It is an admitted fact that tbe aeaaon of

1019.’JO has been the moat succeesfnl in tab¬

loid history. New and, in soma inataacea,

better shows have come iato the manlng aad

company managers and performers ^Ike have

shared 'in the monetary improvement. Borne

of tbe managera of the ten and twelve-people

organizations have enlarged their forces in order

to command tbe highest Ognre. The veterans

among ua remember the conditlone that exlated

four years ago, when the majority of houaes

would not pay more than A325 weekly for a

ten and twelve-people show. Any number of

the old mnaical stock ’‘grinds" operated and

maintained amall compenlaa at a figure leas

than $1100 weekly. I’rlncipals were receiving

from AIS to $35. and tha choma girls averaged

$10 and $13 per week. At tbe preaent tunc,

however, the progressive company managers of

tbe soccessful organlzatlong are demanding and

receiving amazing terms ana salaries for their

attractions. To be frank, tbe gnarantce and salary for a good show la a certain territory

is pactlcally onUmited, and some few fifteen-

people companies have been offered $1,000 sal¬

ary lor a single week in mure than one instance.

Performers in all lines and chorus gins are In demand at salaries more than twice the auaount

they cummunded a few years ago. It was no

uncommon thing in the early days for a team,

usually a producing comedian and wife, to ae-

cumulato a few seta of cheese cloth wardrobe,

a very few performera of average or no ability,

and, after rehearsing a rei>ertoire of the stand¬

ard medicine acts, irrespective of tbe fact that

possibly bis predecessors were offering an

identical program, to enter tbe field quite con¬

fident that their company would undoabtedly

tevolutlonlze tbe amusement business. In very

rare Instances these crudely framed attempts

have existed and have grown into established

organizations. We can not encourage or sug¬

gest this as a modem practice however. To be

perfectly frank and without fear of contra¬

diction. the cheaply framed, featureleas and

otherwise mediocre tabloid show cannot exist:

yet we don’t contend that every company that

wvrks consecntively proves satUfacto<ry .md np

to et^ectatioBs in eveir instance. But we coacnr in the belief that, eventually, the eom-

monly termed "imposaible” attnotion will net

be tolerated.

MINELLI DRAMATIC CO.

To Bo Under Personal Direction of F. P. Mineili—New Features To Be

Added

Trunk P. Mlnelll, of the firm of Mlnelll

Bros., who was too ill to be with the attrac¬

tion last season, has recovered safflcleBtly to

make eztenalve preparations ftor the coming sea¬

son, when be will personally manage his own

SttracUuQ. Mr. Mlnelll states that many new

features will be added to his dramatic com-

pony. Including hand and orchestra. Tbe new

top will be about tbe site of last season’s, but

will hava the dressing rooms and prop room

on s platform even with tbe stage.

An entirely new set of scenery will be painted

for tbe outfit. I'he agent wilt have a car to

tacllitste conntry billing. While Mlnelll will

.carry about the same size company as formerly,

he has already commenced to engage pe<>ple of the beet stock experience and ability. F. P., as

he la known to hla friends, was missed last

season, and It la saf* to say that bis bustle.

appeared. Onto the stage walkedi the Bisbofi of the Omaha Episcopal diocese, clad In the robee

of hla high position. Instantly tbe bouse was

aa quiet as a charch. Without any preliminaries the Bishop, a fine, handsome, upstanding man,

with a wealth of personality, launched upon

a fervid, manly appeal for aa effort on the

part of hla bearers to keep tbe pages of tbe

new year as clean as possible. There was no

talk of hell fire or damnation—Just a simple,

straightforward plea for better living. But It

wae tremendously effective, and tbe ontbnrst

that greeted the BIMuip’s closing sentence

showed that the audience had caught tbe true

spirit of his remarks. The remainder of the surprise was a vivid

deidctlon of the passing of the year 1919 and

tbe advent of Itrjo, la which an elfin child of

not more than five years was the star perform¬

er, singing and dancing in a manner that took,

tbe house by storm. The New Year celebration vras one of the

moat aucceaafni and unique ever staged In Omaha. More cburclimen like the Bishop of

EQUITY NEWS Petty annoyances are often harder to bear than real trials, so we intend to say a few wdrds about laundries. It is a fre¬

quent experience on the road to have one’s shirts and collars returned half washed and carelessly ironed. Sometimes alien articles

are included in place of our own goods, and though they may be better in quality they are of a^ different size and style, and con¬

sequently useless, and the amount of damage done is freqently sufficient to make one .weep with rage. What is the

remedy? To complain to the property man and refuse to pay brings the reply that he will be the sufferer. Maybe publicity

would help. If three complaints are received against any laundry we will publish its name in “Equity” and warn our people

to keep clear of it.

The following resolution has been passed by the Council:

“Resolved, That tho Actors’

Equity Association stands first, last

and all the time for theatrical per¬

formances, the Influence of which

should be beneficial; that actors in¬

dividually also prefer to act only

In plays inculcating good< lessons or

niTording w’holcsome amusement,

and resent wholesale attacks by

church or clerg>' upon the Stage

as an institution or upon the morals

of their beloved profession.

“The stage Is a great teacher

and preacher. Apparently the

Methodist Episcopal Church at Co¬

lumbus. Ohio, and the Inter-Church

World Movement here in "New

York, h.ave decided to recoprnize

the publicity value, as did the Gov¬

ernment during tho war. By util¬

izing the theatre In its propagranda

the Church Is paying a tribute to

the Stage. Further co-operation

rhould follow.

“The Actors* Equity Associa¬

tion. as representing the actors of

Amorlra, respectfully requests tho

Mcthcdlst Church next May In

r>es Moines to remove Its Implied

rt'-matlztng of the theatrical pro¬

fession by its ban on the theatre."

This resolution is a reply to tlic Rew Dr. Stratton, who has been saying some very nasty things about the stage; an indorsement of "The Way¬ farer,” the pageant playing at the Madison Square riarden, ami a request to the Methodists to rescind a rule of conduct, whicli, though subscribed to by every member of that Church, is frequently not observed.

It is with the deepest rc- pret that we have to announce tlic death of Mr. Sydney Val¬ entine, the genial, efficient and courteous Chairman of the Actors’ .Association of Rritain. IU‘(|uiescat in pace pax vo- biscum.

CLOWNS IN VAUDEVILLE

87 HASK7 r^nm.

■ Within the last 7car ▼anderlUe aeemed to taTe taken a likln; to cl<nrna, eo now la tne Chance for the old comics to get bua/ end

take advantage of the opportnnlty.

VandevUle alwaja wants something new, eo Unslly the icluwn hss come In fop his share-

end why not? People laugh at the clown un¬

dap a clrcna top, why not on a vaudeville stage?

In the past vaudeville managers seemed to

tblna that all a clown conld do was a comedy eierobatic act. This is all wrong. There are

•everal clowna that can aing, dance and play

WusKal instruments, and do a lot of things

<bat the vaadevlUe public la Inst waiting for and anxious to see.

With a clrcna the clowns talk, sing, dance

end do all aorta of thinga to amuse the andl- ec e, and, remember, there are big circns

acts going on a«. the seme time, bat still the

people watch the clowns. Now there Is no

t s 11 H. y these same clowns can not make

good in vaudeville, where they have all the

nUertl'n <f the audience and everything else to help them along.

Fbr the last ten yearc I have seen clown

acts tried ont in vandevllle and go over Mg.

tint fur some reason or other the booker didn’t

want them. Bat now they are having them

ecnt over from foreign coantrles, wMch Is not r-illy nei'essary, as we have American clowns

ghat are Just ns funny, If not funnier, and Jnat

as well talented and just as deserving, if not

snore so, of a good vaadevine engagement as

any clown that ever came scroes the big pond.

VAUDEVLLE NOTES

As long as there are artists wlIliDg to bo ad-

gypted there wlU be papers ready to accom¬

modate them.

Vaudeville performers from l«ew*s Grand and

Keith’s Lyric, Atlanta. Ga.. presented a New

Year’s show to priaoners at the Federal Peni¬

tentiary.

Music pifbUshers aver that they receive from five to fifteen times more replies to eong ada

In The Billboard tban they can obtain from other papers.

E. A. Brown, of Brown’a FYimlly Band, writee

that bis children are receiving special instme-

tions along mnslcal lines from Professor Garret,

of Mancie, Ind. Mr. Brown le working op

an entirely new line of music and will enter

Tandeville In the near fntnro with an entirely*

new and original bill.

Governor Coolldge of Massaebueetta recently

had occaalon to obaerve; “There la a victory In

A'Ang your beat of which nothing can deprive

yon.” Hfrry Monntford and Jamea William ntnPatrick may be connted on to do their beet

—their very best—their level best at all timea

and under all cirriimatancea.

Lilly I..ena, the English music hall artlat, ar¬

rived at New York January 2 on the White

Star liner Celtic to make a tou* of the Keith

“THE TRUTH, THOUGH CRUSHED TO EARTH, SHAU RISE AGAIN."

There are two ways of announcing the news.

One is by the statement of a fact and then giving the reasons leading up to that fact, the past history which brings that fact into being, and the original causes from which the fact springs.

The other way is to give the causes first: To recapitu¬ late the history and to give the reasons for a certain state of affairs and then to calmly announce the fact.

I PREFER THE FIRST WAY, AND SO I HERE ANNOUNCE THAT THE NAME OF THE VAUDE¬ VILLE BRANCH OF THE ASSOCIATED ACTORS AND ARTISTES OF AMERICA IS THE

American ^rtistesJ’Jfeberation It is a good title, in its name. It shows its kinship and

similarity of objects to the’VARIETY ARTISTES’ FED¬ ERATION of England. It also indicates its brotherhood with the ACTORS’ FEDER.-VTION OF AUSTRALIA and shows its relation to the Parent Body, the Associated Actors and Artistes of America, by adopting half the par¬ ent body’s initials as its own.

And above all it carries with it a family likeness to its allied Organization, the ACTORS’ EQUITY ASSOCIA¬ TION, for in it you see the two root letters, “A. A.”

There are many reasons why this name, the American Artistes’ Federation, has been kept quiet for over two and one-half years. Those reasons are better told in the history of the A. A. F. during the past two and one-half years.

That history is too long to relate in this column this week, therefore I shall in succeeding issues take up the his¬ tory of the Movement of Organization amongst actors, more especially of the AMERICAN ARTISTES’ FEDER- ATION, from the General Meeting of the International Union of the WHITE’RATS ACTORS” UNION OF AMERICA, held in June, 1917, in the Church of the Ascen¬ sion, 43rd Street, New York City, to the present date.

It is an interesting history, and above all goes to prove that you cannot kill ideas.

You may murder men and women, YOU MAY BLACKLIST ACTORS, YOU MAY STARVE AC¬ TRESSES. YOU MAY TRADUCE AND DISHONOR MEN’S REPUTATIONS, LIVING AND DEAD, BUT YOU CANNOT KILL THE TRUTH.

YOU CANNOT STIFLE THE RIGHT.

*'The truth though crushed to earth shall rise again** was never more clearly proven than by the history of this new Organization, the American Artistes’ Federation, the A. A. F.

Its Birth, its Babyhood, its Youth I shall relate at greater length next week.

But don’t wait for the reasons of its existence, don’t wait for its history, don’t wait till it has become an old and stable Organization. Let all those for whom this Organiza¬ tion is intended, Circus, Burlesque, Chautauqua, Vaude¬ ville Artists, immediately send in their applications to be¬ come members of the

And In this case “i>erformen’’ la the right word. They ire certainly not srtlata. and It is abeointely the actor’a own fault. They do not control or attempt to control their own profes- alon. They are la the mnsa, viewed with the utmost Contempt by minaKera. agents auci even stage hands.

4iuently it ia a case of grow or go, and, Jndg*

ing from the ontloolc, the “tab” show will re- lauln with us for some time.

\Vhen organizing a company the experienced

and broadminded manager should engage the b<n<t specialty talent obtainable; select at¬

tractive chorus wardrobe and equip bis show

with a reasonable amount of scenery and effects.

The programs should abound with originality

and individuality; offer some few exclusive

openings, finales and novel surprises. Dialog

material is optional. The secret of success is

In the knack of giving them what they want

at all times. Kealizlng the demand for new

material, some ambitious producers have gone

to the other extreme, having adopted the use

of farce-comedies, with entirely too much class

to please the average audience. However, script

bills, chock full of SPEED and proi)erly pro¬

duced, containing a certain amount of sure-&re

dialog and replete with ludicrous situations,

should invariably get over to advantage, but it

is folly to depend wholly upon deep or smart

dialog for the laughs. Just a little IIOKL’M

here and there will never do any harm. No

small amount of prisent-day tablcid producers

are offering the old afterpieces in various forms

and dressing tiiem op in a manner that gives satisfaction; others are partial to light farces

and are successful with their selection. Tl'.e

character, light and blackface comedian have

their resiwctlve place. 'Where they demand “hokum” administer it in larger quantities,

and, on the other hand, where the auditors

prefer other material, cater to them, regardless

of the artists' preference. At any rate and under all conditions direct your energies In the

direction that will increase the box-offlce re¬

ceipts. Tiiat la the barometer of success.

Earmarks of refinement command admiration

from the select; the persistent use of sugges-

tiveness cannot be accepted as wholesome en¬

tertainment. Various circuits have been organized In the

Inst few years, enabling a company to work

f onsecntlvely without a layoff. The majority

III' comp.nnles entrust their bookings to the

agent, while a very few prefer to route them¬

selves independently. Further, any number of

tlie agents own, control and operate several

attractions of their own, which has proven to

l.e a decidedly successful venture. Now for the discussion of obstacles and short¬

offender usually getting off the lightest how¬

overrate their ability in order to recure a

particular engagement, Unscrupuloua company

managers likewise agree to pay regularly every

week, yet they hate- failed to meet tids obli¬

gation in more than one instance. While on the

subject of misrepresentation, we most not for¬

get the booking agent who sci.us the show into

an impossible date with the assurance that

said company sbonid enjoy a banner week “if

the sliow has any ^drawing po.ver.” Gr.intlng

the agent Bie concession that it is no e.vy

task to rout* every show every week to every

manager’s satisfaction we mnst demand of

him a convincing explanation why he oontinuc.4

to route and bundle s-mie few hopeless shows

from week to week when it ofttlmes forces

the preferred and establi.shed company oat of

than a Kising venture, even for the smallest

former. If the agent is fair the manager sbould

at least meet him half way.

At this i)olnt we are Itehooved to recognTze

a truly deserving and reliable company m.aa-

is depending upon the latter for the success of

the show. On the other hand, however, we are

forced to reprimand the emnlovee for his short¬

comings and occasional nnheconalng deportment,

positively disapproving of any disrespect toward

h1« employer. This side of the argument

e.nii b- covered In a very few words:

The performer who does not meet the

manager half way In 'ail dealings and

controversies ia unreliable, nnsarcesafnl and

decidedly a menace to the profession. Oar

leaders have established a precedence that we

should rec-'gnize and res-peot. Artists with

It is urged, however, tlvit the leaders jet to-

Setiieg and eflccl a mutual understanding, even

establish a method for tueir^ eiimiuu Uon. Gen¬

eral dejKntment of the periormer is still in

order, inasmuch as we have among us tlaise that

hale been adjudged guiliy of unbecoming mis¬

demeanor, and uncalled-for dem'>nstratioas. Why

all the public censure against s'-iae of our

co-workeis and asb.,tiafes? if a person is

arrested by the law for a mKaiemoanor that

same lavr must prove the charge. Likewise,

If a native makes nn aubec>>iuing remark as

to a ceitain performer’s character, i* it un¬

reasonable to demand of the offender pufliclent

proof of cause for the slander? iv.s.«ibly some

few among us have never given the matter a

thought; others arc satisfied to pa.^s tt op as

nwst uninteresting and will be amused at the

idea of some "simp” or woul l be reformer

having the nerve to mention it. It is b<yciid the

WTlter’a conception wliy some n..rr.w minded

performers refuse to believe or admit that all

eye.s are usuall.r on tliem. Tlie natives watch

tlieir every move, ntid it is intereetiiig gnssin

material for tliem to remark th.at “some actor or chorus gl-l did ho nnd so." rh->nis girls coin-

mund, even tlio nnlntentloually, the attention

cf practically everyone in the city of u.erage

I/opnlatkiP. “Now the hig b< oh la his mad

craving for m.itcrlal 1h going to attack tlie

P'or, uefeiistlesi ch-.rus girl,” comes the pre¬

diction from the interested reader. But we are

ce.utent to he re.is .nable and the writer has

not even inferred that the fair sex—the oack-

Ixme of miisicul comedy—Is at fanit or In line

for a lecture ou deportment. Ore,'it where creilit is due—Gielr servlets are Ind-iqieDHaiile,

but despite the fact tliat their sal.iry de:nands

have- been met and that voluntary increases

have been given tliem the chorister and com¬

pany maniiger do not understand each other

perfectly as yet. Instead of reasoning with their better se-lves and taking advice «h to the

safest nietbi'ds of eHtabll-liIng a redrcmlng prestige they insist on eemliafing the sDij.

ation in the wrong direction hy defying the

natlven to censure them by oecast. rial stunts

that nsually gain mere than tlie dexire.l amount of publicity. It is no secrefc that the careless

element of chortis girls liave conlrlhntel their

share of discomforts to the man.ager. “John

parties” and joy rides as pnetleed hy them

have done barm, am) the girts will not be¬

come reeonclled to the fact that the Iniinhitants

of tlie respective localities are prejudiced ngnlnst

them and that Local girls can “get away” with

sttmta that would almost result In tba lynch¬

ing of a "allow glrL" Upon bqjng approached

churiolcrs of the indetiendent variety take

pleasure in anuuuncing the fact that after

Working hours their time is their owu and feel

at liberty to do aa they choose. The terms,

“company rules” and “peraonal libertlea,”

ahuuld nut becumse confused. In time pMper

measures will be Introdaced to cure the nn-

sophlstlvated of their iiersistent strongbeaded-

nesH. They can voluntarily improve the con.

dltK'Os. however, and we would suggest and

insist that they give the matter due considera¬

tion and suund reasoning. Perauaslon hat ar-

compllshed a great deal In eume instances —

sup:H)se We think it over, girlst

We must say a good word pir the congenial

and appreciative bouse manager. The few

especially that respect the fact that the setur

Is a human bring after all and remembers most

of the favors that are shown him. It is with

pleasure timt we reconl the metb.ids of regular

theater nianagera and the conscientious friends

among them that pruvide aultabte ami com¬

fortable dressing rooms fur the performer ami

a kind word for the deseivlng company. And

tbelr good nature, if otttimM taken ad-

Tuutage of by >tbe overbearing element, and the r

broadmindedness and sliuw uianshlp go a Iuii4

way in preserving their respect for tlie feelings

of tho profcaaluD in general. We will nut go

into details regarding tliose among them that

operate theaters and nse girl shows at a per¬

sonal convenience, so tbst It is possible fur

them t6 keep in close contact with the lady

members of the organization and aggravate the

company manager whan tlieir affections arc re¬

sented. Fresh drinking water and toilet ad¬

vantages are things of the past in the estima¬

tion of some with wboiu we come in contact, to

say nothing of cold or otherwise unple.isant

dressing room accommodations. The few am. ng

them that vtoUto their contracts and original

agreements will finally find it too anpieas.ani for thesn to remain in the buslne-is. The re¬

sponsible manager will snreced and irosper.

and will always be held in high esteem by

ever^me with whom be doca business.

In time we will have effected an almost

perfect understanding betwreen the theater man¬

ager, company manager, booking agent and i>e*.

former, since the “tab” show is no longer in

its experimental stage, bnt a brand of entor-

t.iinment and amosement that will continue to

irosper. To this end we anliclt the earnest

co-o,>crat)oa of everyone concerned that our

Lmd?st h.ioes will be realized and that the

tabloid musical show will become a recognized

and permanent Institution.

TEMPLE STOCK AT MALDEN GRAND DOES WELL •eomen'llla, Mass., Jan. 3.—‘'Polly Wltli «

Past,^’ as presented by one of New England's

finest stuck companies, Somerville Theater Play¬

ers, was one of the most pleasing plays ever

presented In Somerville. It has everythin,^,

comedy, pathos, light and shade that thrill

one from curtain to curtain, and In it each

member in the east wasMdmlruble. Elsie Bart¬

lett In the title role was altogether charming.

Mlsa Bartlett has youth, good looks and with¬

al, a'olllty. Trnly a rare conAblnation. As

‘tPolly Shannon" she gave an interpretation

of the role that was snpurb. James LeRoy

Billings, as "Bex Tan Zlle" in a rather thank¬

less part, showed that despite ‘he drawback of

a rather Insipid role he too Btoosesses all the

qnallties that are demanded of one playing his line of business. Booth Howard aa "Harry"

came near walking away with the show, while

Jerry O'Day came a close recond. Audrey Baird

and Salomla Bassee looked charming, wlfich waa

■bout all demanded of the roles, and Virginia

Zollman and Erederlck Webber also appeared

In congenial roles. Henry Crosaen as "Pet-

ronskl" shared In the honors at the week. The

prodnctlon arranged by director James Doyle

was one of the best ever seen here, and taken

F. E. Selberling. preaident of the National Fed¬

which she called attention to the fact Chat

whereas before the war the Impression existed

that music was for but a few, that the w.ir

has proven that music la for all humanity, la

the coarse of her talk Mrs. Heiberling stated

that the National Foleratlon of Music Clulm Is

planning to establish a music club In every State

and every county of the United States. The

national body is urging that a Federal Bureau

of Mnslc be eetsbllsbed at Washington and

that there be Included In dhe presidential cab¬

Who Has Won Great Success- Is in Great Demand

as a Concert Artist

A brief time ago, or to be exact, a Uttle

over four years ago, Lucy Gates was unknown

In the American concert world, altho In Eu¬

rope she had won triumph after triumph, and

just St the beginning of the war had been or¬

dered to appear with the Imperial Opera In

Germany. Miss Gates Ignored the royal com¬

mand and returned to the United States, only to

find that she would have to overcome the great

prejudice which at that time existed toward

American artists. Undaunted, however, Lucy

Gates determined that she would win recogni¬

tion and Buccesa, and In these few brief years

she has scored repeated successes from the At¬

lantic to the Pacific Coast. The possessor of a

rich and marvelous voice, she Is recognized as a

singer of great power with a charming person¬

ality and a grasp of her work, which shows

the sincerity of a true artist.

Her programs Include arias vrith brilliant

runs, the latest in French and Bnssinn songs,

songs by American composers and also a few

rld-fashloned ballads.

It Is a m.itter of record that In one single

season Lucy Gates replaced Mmo. Galll-Cnr'# on

five different occasions, and each time won on-

qaallfled success and prompt re-engagements.

The first time she sang Instead of Galll-Turcl

was at the Newark (N. J.) Festival, then at

the Ann Arbor University of Michigan Festival

and on tuiir with the New York Symphony Or-

cheetr.'i in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash¬

ington.

In the ranks of those who are actively in¬ terested In the development of the .timerloan

spirit In art, this now famous singer has played

an Important part and she Is constantly striv¬

ing to bring about recognition for the American

artist. The demand for Lucy Gates as a concert

singer is constantly Increasing, and Miss

Catherine A. Bammau, her manager, has dif-

ficnlty In meeting the many requests from the

concert managers in all the principal cities of

the United States.

WEBB LIKES “NOW I KNOW**

It hf rery gratifying to receive an expression of opinion from a musical authority noch as

Harry B. Webb, who controls aome of the moat

successful and popular orchestras, bands and novelty entertainers of Buffalo. He writes to

Stem A Co., publishers: “We have been featur¬

ing your numbers, especially ‘Now I Know.*

which I think is another ‘Smile.* I used it three

different times last night, and for the next month will use it as a fox-trot theme at all the dances

and ma it Into every dance until I make them

whistle it and ask what It is. I gm going to

make that number go in tbia town." Surely this augurs well for “Now I Know," and both

the composer, S. R. Henry, and the publishers

feel that they have a better class song success,

which will equal, if not surpass. In sales, any¬

thing of a similar character that baa been put on the market in recent years.

Why sboald tbe artist go along for a whole

season with a lemon In his material to keep

hla disposition sour? Of coarse he hasn’t the

money back of him that the big producers have,

so be can lay oB and work up a new act every

80 often. That's true enough. But be can do

aa the big producers do in the first place.

Tbe big producers try to get their plays from

recognized playwrights, and bring out material

from unknown writers only when that material

la plainly novel, fresh, creative In its mase-np.

Let vaudeartists go after material from recog¬

nized writers and the percentage of flops will

j as low as the percentage of lay-offs.

That won’t discourage the real writer who

hasn’t yet been recognized, l^cause be will

strive to make his work so good that it will be

bound to win recognition, and if bis only way

of breaking In will be to write better stuff

then when lie does get tbe knack of creating

fresh ideas the vandeartlst can profit, as well

as-tbe wTlter can, from the new ideas and fresh twists.

Again, the tig producers pay the playwrights

enough to make writing attractive. A play¬

wright krowb that if his stuff is good for a

long run his royalty will be worth while, and

so he w'.ll go after that royalty with the -best

that la in him.

Vaudeartists who now get under a hundred

iron men a week could certainly afford to pay

good money for the stuff that would boost the

salary up to a thousand, and no mistake. If,

Instead off trying to get an act for a couple of

dcdlars, the artists would stand ready to pay

the top price for the best material, those who

now shoot them the old staff for a couple of

dneats would create material worth the top

price or go ont of business.

An artist told ns, on this point of having

material written by recognized writers, “These

writers work to the Palace atmosphere, and If

I take their stuff out to the pop. bouse 1 have

to hoke it up or get off the stage." Yes, hot suppose he has an act that is all

hokum, how Is he going to nnhoke it? It’s only

when an act is put across by the sheer merit of

Its fua or by the personality of the players

that hokum will get by with tbe edneated audi¬

ence. Arguments which we have he.ard from actors

and actresses, andifrom actor-anthors, seem to

y-ove that the act that will do for the high¬

brow andlcnce won’t do for the pop. house cli¬

entele. Then It stands to reasrn that yon can turn

the thing ar^iT.d e-d ar"ne that the pop. house

•ct win mighty ee’ ym go over In the Palace

clasA. Yon can generally 'azr '

But can yon nnhoke an ch'oa-'-and-grab act?

It’s better to have a good act, a novel Ton¬

tine, a cre.itlve run of material in the first

place. Then you can “come back’’ with It af¬

ter you’ve hoked it up and have something to

suit all classes of audience. Play t*:e square de.al circuit and be willing

to pay for what yon get, and then be sure

you get what yon want and that the writer who

gives It to you 1« meeting yon on the pqnare. Then, so long, six shows, farewell lay-otfs, an

N. J. Bnekwbeet, a writer of vaudcvlUe ma¬

terial and a atandpat advocate of the get-to¬

gether apirlt between writer and user of ma¬

terial, pnta over a Ulk that ought to get a

band from a big andience of small-time players

who don’t know why they sUU have lay-offs

and cuuceled dates and bait empty date books.

6aya Mr. Backwheet:

'1 L«.(,,iuiy hope that tbe folks who are try¬

ing to break Into real vaudevlUe have read and

taken to heart much of what Arthur Neale

wrote in The Billboard of December 13. If the

people who aspire to a vaudevjlle future would

devote more time to tbe selecting of the equip¬

ment with which they bope to achieve auccesa

there would be more real artists than are now in vaudeville. '

“If it could only be impressed upon tbe minds

of those who feel the call of tbe footlights,

that to win fame they must be equipped to suc¬

cessfully compete with their more fortunate

fellow beings, there would be few failures.

“One would hardly expi ( a mecbanlc, con¬

tractor or builder to erect a fine mansion armed

only with a bammer and a pocket knife. He

must have tools, skilled workmen, good ma-

teriais, and time in which to do tbe work. Tbe

vaudeville player can no more bope to succeed

with an act that was discarded before the

fail of Rome.

“lie must be equipped to give a high-class

performance, Jnst aa the extractor must be

equipped to do work that will meet with public

i.p; r val. “Let tbe artists, and especially the beginners,

nike sure that the writer who is to supply

the vaudeville need is a master workman before

llacihg the order; and, when satisfied that be is

capable of turning nut finished work—pay tbe

price! "Too many, especially small-time folks break¬

ing into tbe game, seek something for nothing

that is why they get nothing for souethlng.

"1 am not one to sympathize with the player

w!i> tries to buy a big-time act for the price

of an order of bacon and eggs. Good material

is wortu a fair price; and if tbe artist would

e-j'-ceed, he must have good material or be la

wasting his time and energy.

“I would not say that the fault is all with

the bu.ver of material. Many times the actor-

beg'.nner. or even the artist, is induced by mis¬

leading advertising into placing an order with

a writer who is absolutely unfitted for the vo¬

cation which be has chosen.

“Let the writer—I care not -who he Is—give

the user of material a SQUARE DEAL!

“Let him realize that the actor’s success U ms success aUo, and he wllDbe a material help

to the thet'rical business.

“It all amounts to Just this: Let tbe actor ray ,iie just I rice f.<r good material—and let

the writer de’.lver value received, and everyone

wi'i be happy and successful.

"A business, no matter bow big or bow

small, that rears its bead from a fonndatlon of honesty, fair dealing and legitimate buslijees

methods, mast win the admiration, the good

will and the respect of the entire public.”

When the vandeartlst buys anAact he becomes

a theatrical producer, on a smaller scale than

the fe'lows who hire theaters and put on

plavs Broadway, but still he Is on the

same plane with them.

T e big producers sometimes get hold of a b’oomer, and so will the -artist, even with all

tbe care and common sense be can use In pick¬

ing an act.

Tbe big producer doesn’t bang onto a lemcm;

he chocks It qnlckly and gets after something

belter.

In "The Young Conjurer" m.iny standard tricks, as well as new effects, are lucidly explained and illustrated. Ooldaton seems to possess the uncommon faculty of not only writing well, bnt actually seems to be giving yon personal instructions how to obtain the maximnm effect out of each trick. “Paper Tricks" include nearly every known trick with clgaret papers, etc. It Is divided Into three parts—Paper Tricks, Paper Tearing. Paper Folding. "Tricks and Puzzles” will be of great assistance to the drawing room or club entertainer. The books are well bound, with board covers, and can be obtained from the American magical stores.

t t t ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

RIOTON, En Route—All reputable dealers carry them in stock.

PROFESSOR—The English wizards call them¬ selves conjurers, and, as a rule, it is onl.v American artists over there who bill themselves as magicians.

ARTHUR BAOLEY, West Hotel, Minneapolis. Minn.—Your letter asking If we can give you an outline of a balf-bour show that you can present at clubs, etc., without having to carry any apparatus at hand. It can be done, of course, but not knowing your capabilities it is a difficult matter for us. However, if yon are an expert sleight-of-band artist, an adept in the art of mi.sdirectlon and subterfuge and n witty talker, you might get away with the following: Gloves changing to bonqnet of flow¬ ers, vanishing walking stlrk, lemon and bank¬ note trick, thirty card tricks, cut and restored turban, money catching, handkerchief color change, concluding with the thumb tie. Would suggest that you get some tricks of the ap¬ paratus variety—they are more sure-fire than pure Flelght-of-haad experiments Indifferently performed.

HARRY JANSETN—Why? GRE.LT G.LY, Fairbanks, La.—Thanks for

your letter. Yes. Charley Blue Is still on the Job In Cincinnati.

W. L. GRICE, Shelby, N. C.—We do not sell tricks or deal In apparatus. Write to the dealers who advertise on this page.

AIKKO. Philadelphia. Pa.—There Ig a magic¬ al society In your city. Get in rommunlcntlon with 8. O. Paul, RW5 Girard avenue, Phila¬ delphia. He can advise yon.

J. W. LEE, 710 Jefferson Avenue, E. Detroit, Mich.—FVed Malcolm Is the president of the Detroit Society cf Magicians. Get In touch with W. H. Domzalskl, who writes such in¬ teresting reviews of tho society’s activities for The Sphinx. He can be found at 1131 Mc- Doiigallfnvenue, Detroit.

Editorial Comment

WHAT is the matter with the

world? That the times are out

of joint all admit. Someone, or some BToup, has thrown a monkeywrench into the machinery. tVe are now out of the worst war the world ever knew, and yet we are busy talking war. What for only the few know.

In New York City It is estimated that one out of twelve of the citizens faced a holdup, gunman, robber, porch climber or highwayman last year and gave up, or were robbed, of $25,000,- 000 In money or property, while Chi- co"o reported a murder each day and only one out of fifty were captured, tried, convicted, sentenced and paid the penalty prescribed by law. Xine Americans have been killed in Mexico from July 1 to November 1. During the same time thirty-six Americans were killed by mobs in the United States. We killed fifty with wood alco¬ hol while celebrating the birthday of

Him who came to bring “Peace on Earth, Good Will To Men.”

How much nobler wopld it be if we would give our weaker n^ghbor the came patient, helping hand that we ourselves p’ead for when we went thru the same kind of struggle, taking eight years of fighting and twelve years of internal strife before we emerged with evo-^ r> semblance of a •white man’s democracy?

But our yellow journalists and our

opportunists In Congress want

to send 500,000 more soldiers to ivar, to fight or police a foreign country for a number of years. They want to add $2,000,000,000 more to our already overloaded bondtd debt so that Brit¬ ish and American oil companies may pay their overdue dividends and further escape their just taxation.

We are not makln,g this plea for the Mexicans, but we are making It for the welfare of our own people, for the peace and prosperity of our chil¬ dren and gr:indchildren.

We are now burdened with taxes that for a century must go to pay for a “dead horse,” and these are the hardest kind of debts an individual or a nation has to pay.

Our national taxes ^are growing and will continue to grow for years to come. The proportion devoted to lo¬ cal uses is each ye.nr growing smaller. The sad part is that this is not only true of public taxes, but It is true of b’uslness In general. More than ten thousand towns and communities in

the United States have lost in popula¬ tion or are standing still. The reason is found right in this fact—that a le.ss proportion of all business transacted Is applied to local needs.

IT is as true of the church as it is of

business and politics. If you doubt

this statement just take a census of your local churches. See if a large proportion of all the money raised (after the minister's salary is paid) does not co for u-es other than local.

The great Presbyterian Church Is a fair sample of our American rellglo'us organizations, and here is its program:

"New York, Dec. 27.—The Presby¬ terian Church today entered the fight to bring world-wido prohibition and abolish the clgareL

“In its annual program of reform, made public thru the board of tem¬ perance and moral welfare here to¬ day, the church announc;pd It would work for the following:

“Elimination of the brewer and dis¬ tiller In foreign fields.

“.Vbolltlon of the cigaret. “Regulation of theaters and dan¬

cing. “Study of marriage and divorce

problems.

“Christianization and humanization of penal Institutions.

“Closer supervision over motion pic¬ tures.

"Elimination of social diseases, of narcotic drugs, and the use of alco¬ hol in the homo.

“The church has set aside $50,000 to start its fight against brewers and distillers In foreign mission fields, it

w.Ts announce 1. and has sent the Rev. John Steele, rssoclate secretary of the board, to England. Scotland, Ireland and Wales to aid In the prohibition tight.

“.\n ’especial target for attack will be the cigaret. which became so firm¬ ly entrenche.l during the war,’ the board’s announcement declared. Prof. J. H. Dlckason, formerly of Wooster College, has been selected to lead this crusade and already has started a series of leefares against the ‘fag.’

"Family and Juvenile work will be under supervision of Prof. W. A. Mc- Keever, formerly of the University of Kansas.

“Winfield S. Hall, formerly cf the Northwestern University Medical School, will have charge of social hygienic and sex relation reforms.

You notice that the first item of ex¬ pense—in fact the only one—was $50,- 000 to fight the English brewers and dirtiller.s and finance the tour of Eng¬ land, Scotland, Ireland and Wales of the Rev. John Steele. Who pays the freight?

The Presbyterian.*? of America have lost 60,000 In membership during the part year. A study of thl.s editorial. Wo be’ieve, will give the reason.

Gee if tills program Isn’t almost en¬ tirely made up of don’ts and shalt nets. It Is a program of repression. It’s a program that relieves the local minister of the need of pe*‘form’Ing local duties and enlarges his activities as a money raiser. He is less a min¬ ister and more a tax gatherer. Ho Is losing his worth as a pastor and Is more and more becoming a propa¬ gandist.

UNCLE SAM should have bowed his

head In shame and should not

OBITUARIES ON PACE 92

Wanted—A Manager With a Methodist Spine! The theater, as an exposition ground for bad manners, has magnlfi-

o cent possibilities, and the opportunities it offers for the display of boorish- < > ness and contempt for the rights of ordinary human bipeds are just now *’ being more than usually exercised In the New York playhouses. Holders “ of orchestra chairs blat interminably during the action of plays; individuals

with democratic Instincts bring along things to eat while the show Is go- o Ing on; door tenders snap tickets out of patrons’ hands; ushers boss them <> to their seats; box-office attendants are almost as rude as hotel clerks, an 1 " the cloak room brigands have apparently migrated from the restaurants

to the playhouses.

'* D“t r'ost flagrant offenders are the overdressed nouveaux riches, “ who prance proudly in after the play starts, sauntering casually down the y, aisle talking audibly, taking off furs and coats when they hax'e reached . > their seats as if no one were behind them, and inciting to manslaughter the ' ► unfortunate wretches who have paid to See the entertainment, and who, " knowing the curtain rises at 8:30 have arrived on time.

,1 The hox-office parties are worse. The f-'^naUs of tho s'lecles preen <> themselves in full view of the audience, rustle programs, change seats, “ gab Intermittently, and look down with lofty scorn on the irritation of * * the proletariat In the orchestra. The male economic worm, the human ,, meal ticket, the plain or garden variety of husband Is, after many <> maneuvers, mobilized In the rear of the box. ■where he spends his eveii- *> Ing either enjoying the scenic panorama of the ladles’ backs, which Is “ nowadays no novelty, or contracting •wry neck endeavoring to get a peep ^ I at the stage. ,, All this should be stopped and at once. There should be an Ironclad ' > rule that whether patrons arrive dressed, seml-dressed or demi-dressed, <> after the curtain has risen they will not be seated or permitted to hold " conversation contests in the rear of the hous3 until the first act is over.

Of course there would go up a mighty ronr rt firs*, but if V'.'i rr.anagerj o exercised a little cf the firmness they employ in boosting prices when- <• ever possible! and enforces the rule, how happy we would all be. Of " course, they will not do it. but It has been done and can bo done again. “ The Methodists-Ept'scopalians, who are running “The Wayfarer" at Madl-

son Square Garden, New York, have printed a note In the program that o late comers will not be seated until the prolog Is over. An-l they live un <► to the regulation. No one complains, tho, perhaps, that Is because only * ’ the godly go to see “The Wayfarer,” but what is done at Madison Square

can be done in the Incandescent Forties. Even at the price of other things, the long suffering public will greet with ecstasy a few stlff-spincl

<. Methodists in control of the discipline in the auditoriums of the playhouses.

FIRST TIME IN AMERICA

Gilbert Miller’s Production of Andre Messager’s Romantic Opera

^♦MONSIEUR BEAUCAIRF.” Founded on Booth Tarklngton’s Famous Story

Libretto by Frederick Lonsdale Lyrics by Adrian Ross

Presented Under the Management of A. L. Erlanger

If there is one thing In this wide, beautiful world I loathe, abom¬ inate, execrate, despise and hate with a double distilled venom it is the idea of wearing a hard-boiled, open-faced shirt. Not because of an un¬ flinching personal laziness that shrinks in terror at the expenditure of the physical labor Involved in getting into the thing, but the horrible sen¬ sation wearing it creates. The only time a hard-boiled shirt is» harmless is when a man is dead. Then he can neither feel nor resent it. The pillory of the Puritan, the being walied up alive of the ancient torturera and the falling asleep in a bed of mortar and IcttinT it f-eeze around you to the neck are pastoral pastimes in comparison of f'.e h.-b. s.

However, having to take along with me to “Mons'ojr Peauca're” a guest, who is by the way of being English given to that sort of thing, I determined to stuff myself into the instrument cf destruction described above and offer myself up as a starched offering cn the altar of national pride. Die or not no British aristocrat was going to show me, a plain eon of the people, up. Besides the show was an English production and I had a sort of nasty hope it would not be too good, whereat much pleas¬ ant conversation on the superiority of things American over things Eng¬ lish might be had.

I had two disappointments. My friend appeared, not in the hard- boiled open-faced, but the softly scrambled or peacefully poached shirt favored by gentlemen w ho value their personal comfort higher than the scorn of their wives, or other capitalists. That should have been suf¬ ficient disappointment for one evening. The second one was worse.

The play was one long soul-satisfjing, utterly charming delight, full of the perfume of long dead romance. Andre ^!essagcr’8 music was ex¬ quisite. The singing was singfing. There was np dancing at all save the stately minuet performed by beaux in brilliant military scarlet cr gor¬ geous small clothes, and ladles with powdered hair and billowing frocks of soft pink? and lavenders and delicate yellows. Tha production was In perfect taatc. There was not a single thing to find fa'ult with.

I am utterly ashamed of myself. I forgot the balled shirt complete¬ ly. I ignored the insulting satisfaction of my doml-Erlttanlc companion. The British lion beside me roared softly and unchallenged. I did not once tweak the eagle’s tail. I sat wholly submerged in the beauty of the pro¬ duction, the enecllence of the actors, and the astounding sensation of watching a musical drama In which there were no blatant comics, no in¬ decent dresses and no Jazz. And I saw a packed house applaud the first curtain until it was raised half a dozen times.

There is no space left to do Justice to Marlon Green’s fine charac¬ terization of Beaucaire or his truly beautiful singing, to the exquisite work of Blanche Tomlin, as Lady Mary Carlisle; to John Clarke’s lovely tenor voice in “Love and Honor Are One.” to the charming duet, “Vv’e’ra Not Speaking Now,” of Mr. Clarke and Miss Burgess; to the delightfully sincere, gently funny Lennox Pawle, cr the shrewd comedy cf Sp.ncor Trevor, as the sharp-tongued worldly wise Bath dandy. SulHce it ta say that outside of “Abraham Lincoln,” which also came to us from London, “Monsieur Beaucaire” is the only show in New York worth “dresslr.g up” to see. There is some satisfaction in the fact that Gilbert Miller, who produced the piece, is one of us, and that wo do appreciate a reil thing when we are permitted by the managerial moguls to see it.—PAT¬ TERSON JAMES.

THE INTERCHURCH WORLD MOVEMENT Presents

“THE WAYFARER” By Dr. James E. Crowlher. Adapted from the Original and Staged by

Laurence H. Rich

Despite the fact that “The WaY-farer” Is Intended as an exposition that God is still In His heaven and that all will be well with the world nfler the war, no matter how black the present outlook is; despite the fact that the subjects Involved In the prolog. the foui episodes and the epilog are approached with reverence, tho with a most palpable lack of ‘ faith on the part of the actors, and despite the fact that there Is a laud¬ able motive back of the spectacle, still there is an unpleasant shock In opening tho prorram a":! ci:!.-.'* t’.'.rt T'.ie Intcrc'.iurc.i \/jill MiVo .uat “prps^nts’* something. It sir.ac’.ts too much of the anything but spiritual theatrical syndicate. We are not in the habit of considering the church —whatever that vague term may mean—as contributing directly to the theater. True, there was, and will again be, the “Passion Play” at Ober- ammergau. In Bavaria, and there Is every Lent in Hoba'.ien the spactaclD, “\’eronlca’s Veil,” but these are given for devotional raaoons bactors who believe In truth of what they do. They are not professional actors. Their mental attitude Is essentially different from that of players on the stage. Of course, the actors In “The Wayfarer” may believe In what they are doln.T, but If »o they do not give that impression. Always thcro Is present the feeling that what they are doing has no reality to them- c*lvc3. that they aro “acting” In a play. Perhaps the knovrlcd-ro t” at Madieon Square Garden, ■where the spectacle is being given, is used for purposes that run the scale from prise fights to circuses has something to do with the sense of impropriety that is created. Certainly a stago ai large as»the Garden’s Is needed, but even an Irreverent reviewer can not gulte see that the episodes In the life of Christ fit Into the same en¬ vironment as a six-day bicycle race. Outdoors and away from the trappings of the theater the Impression "The Wayfarer” makes v.'oull doubtless be altogct’.'.cr different.

Much more serious fault can be found In the spoken words of the piece. After all the plain Anglo-Saxon of the New Testament can nat bs improved. It would have been far better, for example. If In the scena cf the Resurrection the angel had spoken the exact words Inatea.l of cnly some of them. Again, St. Peter’s oath of denial outside the prao- tcrlum is not the cursing and swearing described by St. Mark, by long odds.

However, there are some scenes of great beauty, especially the ap¬ proach to Bethlehem and the coming of the Magi. The “Praise Ye,” from Verdi’s "Attlla,” Is excellently sung bv Theo. Karle, Helen Xov/l.t and Bernard Ferguson, far better than the “Cujus Anlmam” of Mr. Ilarle, which had not one note of agony In It. The s.ame criticism Is true of “The Palms,” as sung by Mr. Ferguson. There was no apparor.t n-ipreelation of tl.e meaning back of the song. The chorus, for all Its great sloe, had no volume, except In “The Palms.”

With all Us shortcomings “The Wayfarer” has a great deal to in- terf^t and recommend It. As a spectacle it is better than "Aphrodite,” and as a counter Irritant to Broadwaij' stage revels It Is aecoptable. But the conclusion is Inevitable that the churches have enough knitting of their own to do in their proper sphere. As counselors, critics and guardi¬ ans of the stage they have well-defined opportunities, but as producers cf plYvhouse attractions they* have neither place nor propriety.—PAT- TTlBSbN JAMES.

About This Season’s New York Productions

A. H. WOODS Presents Channing PoHock's New Play

“THE SIGN ON THE DOOR” With Mary Hyan, Lowell Sherman and Lee Baker.

Staged by Sam Forrest.

During the •war a lot of German professors got together and Issued a manifesto to the world, declaring that Germany was altogether right in her position and that the Allies were wrong.

To prove that “The Sign on the Door” is a great play, the manage¬ ment is publishing dally newspaper advertisements from the authors of other great (?) plays, the opinion that “The Sign on the Door” is a thea¬ ter wrecking hit.

The playwrights who are parties to this bit of transparent decep¬ tion, methlnks, do protest too much. Great plays do not require the ad¬ vertising oxygen tank so quickly, and even a foolish manager is not spending a lot of money for publicity if his offering is anything like a Success.

Despite the encomiums of other “successful” play-tailors “The Sign on the Door” is a cheap, vulgar, traShy, preposterous, worm-eaten melo¬ drama of the type to which Mr. Wixids was addicted in his early days ■when a member of the firm of Sullivan, Harris & Woods. It has not an

.original idea, an original line or an' original situation in its clap-trap constitution. With the exception of Lowell Sherman, who plays a well- dressed blackgruard naturally, the excellent characterization of the valet, Ferguson, by Robert Vivian, and the human note in Lee Baker’s “Lafe” Regan, the incomparably stupid husband of an incredibly idiotic wife, the cast is Impossible. Mary Ryan, who seems doomed by the gooey sweetness of her personality to be forever <«ist as a wronged wife, an Innocent stenographer, or some other victim of man’s brutality to “help- luss” females (and plaj-wrights’ diabolic cruelty to inoffensive audi¬ ences), tries to make tho worst of a bad part, and succeeds.

In this day of sophistication even “stenogs" from Dayton, Ohio, are not so easy as Ann Hunnlwell, nor do women (even allowing for the accepted theory that wives must lie to their husbands) do such un¬ necessary stunts In prevarication as Mr. Pollock makes his heroine per¬ form. Neither does a 8tor>’ founded on attempted assault in a private dining room in an off-color restaurant, and three subsequent acts of multiform seduction, make a pU'asant or profitable play. The worm will turn, no matter how long it squirms, and the i>atrons of the show houses are just about fed to the teeth with useless Iwsh like Mr. Pollock’s lat¬ est failure.

“The Sign on the Door” should be called “Nobody Home,” and for all the pressagenting of his brother “successful” dramatLsts Mr. Pol¬ lock’s piece will meet, as it deserves, the finish of the German professor’s mid-war manifesto.—PATTERSGN JAMES.

THE STATEMENT OF FAITH

(We ppprlnt from a proof of a new theatrical paper, “The Actor’s Voice,” published in the West, the appended declaration of belief as to newspaper ethics by the men whose signatures are attached):

WE BELIEVE in • free und untrammeled Preaa. WE UKI.IEVE that public discLssion and the TenUlatlon of frleTaacea are the first

atepa low*r<l r. medylug tj. m. WE AGREE with ’Tbnma* Jefferson when he s'ld; *‘I would sooner bare so Oorenunent and newgpapera than 1 wonld hare a Goremment

without newapjiiers." BUT, w* qualify ihia statement at ha did, that newtpapara most ho FREE from all

taint of tnbTon’.ion. FREE from all the tnaldions Infiuanoet that creep up thru the hnal- neaa oScea and FREE from the control of either manager, agent or any Intereated person.

WE BELIEVE that the actors' newspaper ahould be for actora. W^ BELIEVE ttut He editorials should be signed to tbst the actor In reading them

could know who la respouaible for the utterances. WE BELIEVE that its criticisms, if any, of acts and actors, should be made by men

of inlelligeace. of inlellect and by men who have bad experience in show business. WE P1.LIEVE those cTiticlsma should be written by men who are not concerned In

the sollctutlon of adrertlsementa. V'B BELIEVE that a paper should hare a policy. If It Is to support the manasers and agents at any cost, it should publicly announce It. If it la to support the setors, it should publicly announce that fa>'t alsa WE BELIEVE that a newspaper should be like a searcblicbt. Illumining the dark

comers and brining into prominence that which it is to the interest of some person or persons to bide.

WE DELIEVE thst a theatrical newspaper, to be of any good, must be actuated by good motlTes, L a., th* good of the profession, the good of tha manager, tho good of tho agont and t^ good of tho Actor.

WE B -LIEVE that thru publicity comeo Reform. Thru Reform comes real rrogress, and thn Beal Proj.esa com* llappmess and Prospetity.

If t-v "ArTOllS* VOICE la in accord with our sentiments. If it can understand and support OUR CREED, then we wish the .4CTORS* VOICE every success.

VTZ 1*0?E that ths "ACTORS' VOICE" will bo tho roal Actor's Toico, and that it will aot bo tho voioo of Jacob ^sgniaod ao tho roico of Esau.

It la to our adrantase and lb the advantage of our Organization that we should know tho Actor’s reul sentimeuta, for WE are not the masters of the ACTOR, WE are bat hlo human representatlTca, and If the ACTORS’ VOICE really represents the ma- jo.lty of tho Actors and Actresses of this country, then It will be found voicing the same tent.me..ts as have been ao long expressed, taught and fought for by the Actors’ friends, by the Actora* moat bumble and faithful aeriants.

Dorothy Donnelly was with the American Army of Occupation as “ chief director of’entertainments for the Y. M. C. A. in the Third Army ’’ - — - — ... - area, and did splendid work. She has written a story of the Rhine *s ill valley when It was occupied by "doughboys” and "leather necks,” and «> i iiivlvi iT a y t -T ~iVir~^'i Vt placed it In a lovely old schloss, where a beautiful g.rl is the mistress, n 1 yoiir'r.tper up and flt*"iiwnsi?n»nsg«r iSnst^d.

As a story “Forbidden,” which is English for the ubiquitous Ger- 4 « wtrartion; man term verboten,” and which is applied in the play to the army order J imii jia:s>iu.

Miss Donnelly should see the great American army pastime when there is not a lady Y worker in sight.

Martha Hodman, with hor beauty and dialect, plays the Countess Hlldegarde like a German b-'auty, which, being translated, means with all the passionate abandon of a liverr.urat sausage. She wears beautiful clothes, suspiciously beautiful for a Boche patriotess after four years of war, and never for an instant forgets that she is a pulchritudinous snow¬ ball. Perhaps it is just as w’cll the captain did not marry her after all, because they probably would have spent their honeymoon In an ice house. Richard Barbee gives a pleasantly boyish study of Captain Boots Lawrence, and the Brigadier-General Slocum of William K. Harcourt has a fatherly charm that the original animal has not, unless he com¬ mands a brigade in the Salvation Army. One fondly waits for David Proctor to take out his crocheting and "d^” a boudoir cap, a.s Anton Roonje, a Luxemburger neutral. There Is real joy, however. In the Y secretary of Joseph Dunn, who looks and acts like a soul-snatching bullfrog.

But will someone ijleaso write a war play wherein everyone is a private soldier, ’'ecausc, after all, it was tho ranks that won tho war”_ p.YTTERSox James.

By J. WILKINSON CBOWTHKB

In a certain Ronthem city where eamlTil op- ffanUatiuai had been burred for a i>erlod of three years, a city editor or a morning ptfh- llcation was a4toni*hed when cnnfntnted by a ramiral press agent seeking publicity npon the merit of the show which he represented, ind irking for a newspaper representitlre to attei^ the opening night for the pnriiose of reriewing the show. This same editor told the iire wire representative that it was the Orst time In six ears that a carniral pnMlclty man called nT*on

him with anch a request, altho he had many showmen as risHors who nsually eought •‘tli- ence” regarding their attractions, snd erea made an effort to bribe when a reporter began attacking the illegitimate games and the de¬ grading shows, which nsually acted as a acreea for fhe stores.

This “obserrer of copy” decided that he, himrelf, wonid be the guest of the press agint that erenlng, Just out of curoalty to set if any ImproTemcnts had been made in this line of ea- tertuinment That erening be was a surprised man to And the midway an assemblsnce of lean, sttractlre. edn'-aflonal shows sod rldlag

derlces Uiat were pleasing amusing and enter- t tning to women and children aa well ae the men. The cliniax of astonishment was reached when the press agent asked him for a frank review In the m rulrg's edition, and to crltl- rlxe anything that was detrimental to the wom¬ en fo’ks or chlllrcn. The vef^rsn ed'tor sa'd: “WelL I must offer my congratulations te the I'Wner of this amusement enterprire fer the clean amusements be is offering to the public: it’s Jnst like a big amusement park and demon- strafes what remarkable changes for the better can be made in any buslnesa tnatitntlon.” In the morning's edlfon a most firoisble article commenting upon the character and nature ef the exhibitionu was glren excellent poaltien • n t'-e f-ont mts cf hi* piihM*att's srd this same chap who bad bean the itumbling block for many sliows In tb* r»ir* gone hr. hid been won o<er to camlraidom by clean and attractive -i.in-rn--fs

And eo climbeth the cam’vtl business’ fi#r- eral years ago there were hut few agents #m- plo.ved to handle the publicity sxcinsively, the owners were not seeking newspaper stories, and in fact they suppressed same whensvsr possible, knowing that undesirable commsnt was the usual resn’t of i newspaperman's rlslt to the grouuds. A KumsIUt's work is ssms- what slmH!:>r to a detective’s occopstion, and the mere fart that pnhjlclty was not snilcittd by carnival organira’ions waa the cine for In¬ vestigation. followed by the nsual rubbing and tearing Into f-e u ■’c*'-ibls «vtr*rttons that were brought into t'..e city for exhibition pur¬ poses.

T mes h'lve ch-n7*d i-d so bsi the csmlral bnsiness. “1*1* gressivpneas” is the keynote of ths ontdotir amusement bnsiness today, acd “CIeanllne».s” is gr.odually hreiking Into ths policies adopted by the Ivrger carnival mag¬ nates. The press department established by the leading enterprises is playing an Important part In the elevation of the business and press rep¬ resentatives are ronvlni Ing the public that noth¬ ing bnt clean attiactions are -offered for thrir enjoyment and entertainment. They are secur¬ ing for the c.rr'val c« ne- the re.-e-t of the newspapermen, city and State -offlrlals, as well as the public in general, and they are snter- talnlng many of onr lending office holders on their midways today. They are securing writ- •e-> « emenfe .•'t n** llc'fed bv g vernori, Ma-ors and eveenfives of many Isrge corpora¬ tions and business institutions that bars had an opportunity of vIsDing their shows snd having been entert'lre-l an.l amused with ths variety of attractions that were presented. Tbty^ have hnken into the columns of the majorityM of the leading publications thmont the States a and Canada, and have penetrated sdltorlal c 1 -mns for fs'-'i-ati’e e-dorscfuents. They srs receiving recognition from editors who ksvs displayed prejudice towarda the cammi sf yesterday, and who have generously “com# across” with nullmited space to ths msdsm and reconstructed carnival. They ksvs snroon- strated to the show owner thst a press dspsrt- ment in the carnlvai business is as essSbtltl ss the managerial staff.

Every year finds more csmlyal SfganliatlSBt adopting publicity densrtirents: the swaers art beginning to resllxe ths valus •t such an in¬ vestment.

During the winter months he will work In Cy Compton's act, called ‘‘The Pasalng of the West.” Others with the ontllt besides Ray and Compton are lailn Parr. Art. Boden and I. Nelson. Jack says that be has found out since bis arrival In New York that the restaurants have cut out the use of trick ropers.

‘‘Smiling” Jim Palmer writes from Florence, S. C., that be is In winter quarters there, breaking out some Wild West stock for the 10'.J0 season with the Benson Shows, where he has been for 41 weeks with Slim Moulton’s Wild West aggregation.

While we are on the subject do yon folks know that it la announced that Wild West shows with carnival companies got top money everywhere In 19197 Seems like every carnival company will liave a Wild West tronpe in 1920. Great idea if the shows are all good ones. BUT —remember the old adage about the ‘‘goose that laid the golden egg.”

Oklahoma Red writes from Yuma, Arlz., say* Ing that he will advise us later regarding the R^eo he was to pull off In Yuma on Christmas Day. Says the one that be and Tex. Ricker staged at Samerton, Ariz., was a big success; 1,000 people attended. Red says that his mother and sister are there spending a three weeks’ vacation with him. After the holidays be will join the Barber Feature Film Oorp.

Hugh F. Campbell, of Carson and Campbell, rifle shots, writes from Santa Monaca, Cal., enclosing a program of the mlnst'-c’ shew nnt on there by B. P. O. B. Lodge No. 900 December 8, for Christmas charity. Bill Rogers, the cowboy monologist and screen star, was a per¬ former. as was Jim Corbett. Mr. Campbell also took part. He is lond in his praise of the “bills” of the Santa Monaca Lodge, as they always have a welcome waiting ehonfolks. Campbell would like to hevr frjm Ony Weadlck, Flores La Due.

Can any of onr readers answer the following letter correctly? It is from Gordon Ostenderff, Who resides at Richmond Hill, N. Y.: “Could you possibly inform me what has happened to the Association of American Cowboys, started by Richard Ringling in New York last winter? The first and only meeting was held at your of¬ fices In the Putnam Building on Broadway and 44th street. Since that meeting I have beard nothing further from Mr. Ringling or any of the others who presided at that meeting. Their in¬ tentions seemed to be satisfactory, but tiieir work was never produced, or even started. If yon or anyone connected with your paper can give me any information on this ma‘ter I will be ever so much obliged to you for the favor. I have quit the Wild West game for awhile, but that does not mean that I, as a member of the Association, should not be informed as to what is to be done.”

(The editor of this department is not, and never was, a member of the association yon mention, and knows nothing about the ontflt, except the news notes that were sent in bv the association at the time it was being or- gan'xed. Suggest that you write to Mr. Ring* ling direct, for if he was the organizer, as yon say, he could no doubt give you all the informa¬ tion you desire.—ROWDY WADDY).

The following letter speaks for itself; “Bill¬ board Publishing Co.—As to the Wild West and Ronndup contests: There are champions in all branches of the game, except fancy shooting, and that was one of the real sports of the Wild West not many years ago. T’-e-e are all kinds of fancy sh^ters, or those that call themselves fancy shooters, new In- f e couarry. Why not get together at the next season's contests and see who Is the best, all around shot in the United States? I will put up one hundred dollars ($100» with The Billboard for entrance fees to start this. IT every man who claims to be a shot and claims he can heat any man with a gun at fancy sliootlng will forfeit $100 to be divided two or three ways, the win¬ ners can make a piece of change, and we will know who Is the best fancy shooter. Fhncy footing is something that Is always entertain¬ ing. Here Is to General Pisano. If the state¬ ment you made, while playing Austin, Tex, that you can ontshoot any man In the world with a 22K;aliber gun, for money, you hare an Argument with me. aa I will meet you any 4ilace in the United States, either Inside or out- aide work. This also goes to any shooters in the business. Fake shooters, ns'ng t'’e steel disk and spatter bullet, keep out ct this, for the Bajority of the theatergoing peo-le are wi-e to U. Thanking yon In advance. (Signed) Harry A. Davis ft Oo, Permanent address, Al¬ bion, Michigan.”

ATLAfTTA FAIR Is the Greatest io the South

According to Atlanta Rotary

Club—Surpasses in Exhibi¬

tions and Attendance)

Is Claim

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 3.—That the antraal fair held at lyakewond Tark in Atlanta by the Soutbeaatern Fair Association is the greatest in the South and one of the greatest in the roontry is the claim made by the local pnblica* tion of the Atlanta Botary Club. The Atlanta association is bat five year» of age, but in spite of its yonth there Is only one fair in the entire South that comes near it in ex* hibltions and attendance, it ia claimed. That fair is thirty-six years old.

The Board of Directors of the association re¬ ported that the agricnitural exhibits. liberal arts, farm machinery and automobile shows at the local fair thia year surpassed anything in the Sonth. The amusements were good, clean and attraetlre. The free acts and b.in(1s added much to the anjorable program, ami tho Clrsnd Circnlt races, running races and automobile races, constituted the best speed program the South has eyar

The Southeastern Fair during each year of its exlstenoe has beoomo a greater Buecess, and from an adyertMas standpoint for the city, it could not be surpassed. L.-ikewood has become Atlanta'! moat popular amnsement park ns a result, and operates alx cr saren month.s cf the year, as well as during the fair.

The exhibition baUdtogs at the local park are beautiful, permanent, flreproof structures, built mainly of concrete, as is the huge grand stand. The race track encircles a lake and is one of the fa-test mile dirt tracks in .amerlca. The park Itself corers oereral hundred acres.

Plans for the 1926 fair are being made, and indications are that it will eren surpass this year’s exhibition, and will be one of the great- •st fairs ia the country.

SITE OF EXPOSITION

Celebrating Centennial of Florida To Be Decided by Court»—Four Cities

Want It

Jacksonrllle, Pit., Jan. .3.—^The fate of the Plorldi Centennial Exposition, authorised and directed to be held by the last legislature, now r»«ts in the hands of the Florida Supreme Court, the Oentennial Commission having ap¬ pealed to the court to determine the legality of the Commission's plan for dividing the exposi¬ tion into four parts.

Pensacola cirizens. who hive made a strong flght to secure the exposition for Pensacola, have fought the four-city plan vigorously. They contend that the bill makes it necessary for the Commission to designate one city for the exposition. At its last meeting in Jacksonville gereral weeks ago the Commission designated Pensacola. Jacksonville. Tampa and Miami as exposition site*.

The next meeting of the Commission will be held after the decision of the Supreme Court ts made ptiblic. In the event that the court decides that only one city can be designated for the exposition. Jacksonville and Penaacola will he the principal contnndents.

Citizens of lioth Jacksonville and Penwcola have expressed their willingness aiyl have de¬ clared their determination to raise at many millions of dollars as may l>e ne.-e8s,ary to produce and stage a creditable expoattton. com¬ memorating the one-hundredth anniversary of the territory of FlMlda by tbs Dnited States from Spain. *

NEW RECORDS

Set by Minnesota State Fair In 1919— General Manager Canfield Makes

Annual Rsport

New high records were made In many di¬ rections by the Minnesota State Pair in 1919, according to the annnnl report presented by Thomas H. Canfield, general manager of the fair and secretary of the fair board. This was eapeci-lly noticeable In the revenue and at¬ tendance flgnres.

After making dednctlona f'T m.-.lnfenince, re¬ pairs, depreciation and personal property taxes a net profit of nearly 000 remained for the year. The Plate Fair plant and assets show a sniphie to the Plate of $2,237,422.49. altho 8tate funds invested in the property total only $S84.4SS.90. The big gain of |l,2fi2.922..19 over the amount invested represents Increa-es in value of the real estate anil fair profits Invested in permanent Improvements, according to tbe report.

The Minnesota State Fair of 1910 produced reeeipts of |♦46.{»9h 62 and yielded a net profit of $160.5tfi>.70, or $49,379.30 more tban U>« 191$

fair. ITieaetBgnres are on the fair propper. the larger totals on receipts representing those from all sonrees for the entire year. That tbe fair prospered during the period of the war Is shown la a profit of $344,328.."iO from the expositions during the Inst three ye.ars. the report states.

Fair visitors in 1919 numb«x>d 581.643 against 443,285 at the 1918 fair. Attendance at carnival shows and amusement devices to¬ taled 531,929, a gain of 88.725 over the previ¬ ous total; at the grand stand 297,497. a gain of .10,011, and at tbe horse show. 7,185, a gain of 2.238. The number of exhibitors increased to 2.875 from the 2..185 total in 1918.

Tbe statement shows further gains of .".1 per cent in fair receipts and only 34 per cent In¬ crease In exjienses of the fair.

The fact that tbe fair opened on Saturday and continued thrn the following week was a factor In the excellent showing fop the year reviewed, in Manager Canfield's offlolal report.

'WITH ITEMS OP INTEREST TO MUSICIANS Chicago, Jan. 3.—It la to be a dlaplay of contraxts that the ilrat Aeronantical Show will offer when the great exhibition of aircraft opens Jannarr 8 at the CoUsenm. For tbs entire history of aTlatlon, Its problems and triamps, will be related in the several hundred types of aircraft shown, and they will be explained by the engineers and pilots, who bars made the most modem science—that of flight— •‘safe for democracy,”

Most of all. tho. the show will be the first post-war opportunity to stntly war acblsTe- menta—those accomplishments so rarefnlly con¬ cealed by cens>>rs during the conflict. Anti¬ aircraft gnns, radio tele^onee, air missiles of ail aurts, from machine (uns and tracer bul¬ lets to the aerial bomb and torpedo, will featnrs the military display. Captain Eddie Rlcksn- backer’s bullet-riddled spad will be shown for the first time. Blckenbacker, too, will appear thruont the show.

But the contrasts will prove the conquest of the air. Lincoln Beacbe.v's primitive plane, la which he looped the first loop, will be nest the new fashionable upholstered ItmoaslMa. which withstand every tonch of weather. The first JN-4 mail ship, with a year's service, will fly from New York to take Its place in the show next the new Thomas-Morae “mall track of the air,” which carries two tons of mail, with trigger attachments for deliveries. Giant dirigibles, steel propellers, new safety para¬ chutes and every other instrument devised for the navigation of the air will compose other features of the display.

Dirty, oil on lensea, finger prlnta In puttlag Irosrt back la machine, poorly ground leaaea, leas opening loo small, leu not put together right.

Wbat causee plcturea to jump oQ tbe screen la dirty sprockets, ten- sloB not tight enough, sprocket nnder rut, etar wheel shaft bent or sprung, bad aperture plate, esasif tighten enough to star. Sometimes a jump will be caused by a camera, or la drying tlm.

WANT NEW COINS

To Meet the Exigencies of the Tax Situation

Tile campalgB for a 2-cent and Ift-ceot eda Inaugurated by the National Association of the Motion PIcfUTW Industry baa resulted In the Introdncflon of two hills In Corgress by Cca- gresstnan Daniel F. Mlnahsn of New Jersey, n member of the IL'tise Committee on Coins. Webtbts and Measures.

PTnee the enactment of the Revenne Bill on admissions to theaters the necesalty for ranking change at the boiy>(nce has occ.nsloned an spiwedaMe delay In disposing of the line of ticket pnrehasers. and eome of tbe smaller m-'tlon picture theaters were compelled to raise fhelr price of admlsAlon so as to take In the lax and thus do away with the making of rhange as nearly as p<is<lble.

Other trade Industries which will be greatly biraeflted by the enactment of these Wile will Iw aewspapers, magarines and periodicals, tele- plmna and telegraph companlea. soda fountains and candy stores, raUroada and othtr trana- l>ortatlon lines.

Newspaper pobllabers vrant a S-ceat coin be- ranae 2 cents la n<iw the standard price for dally papers. Motion picture theater men want a 15-cent coin because W cents Is mptdly be¬ coming the standard price for picture show admissions. With these two great mediums of publicity In favor of these messures It Is only natural to expect that their joint agitation fo? the bills before Congreui wlU bring forth re- BUltS.

If there vraa ever need fbr a a-rent Were it la now. There Is a nofleeable rimrtage of email silver coins almost everywhere tovlay and It Is believed that In view of the public demands fmr this new coinage, coupled with the fact that the film Industry and the newspapers are wucklbg Joiatly tor the aame. tbat tba director

of the Mint, Boy Baker, will give hla approval to tha measorea.

Tbe public will be greatly benefited by having a IC-ceut coin between the dime and the quar¬ ter. The IS.000,000 people who dally patronize the 18,000 motloo picture thentem In the United Etates will be greatly convenienced by the issuing of such a coin.

It would facilitate the handling of theee mil. lions of motion picture patrons who are pnt to a great annoyance and inconvenience In crowd¬ ing theater lobbies while waiting for change. Motion picture theater patrons are often forced to wait In line on the sidewalk during Inclement weather owing to delays In making change at the bnx-offlre, a condition which has grown much worse since the termination of the war. 'due to the rctnm of the eoldlem and civilians and the eonscantly incrcualng pcnmlar- Ity of the motion picture theater.

PICTURE MAKING IN OHIO

CTereland, O., Jan. 1.—^Private presentation of Cleveland’! drat "home" made feature film was offered to a select gronp of critics and others connected with the motion picture in¬ dustry here, at Hotel Eollenden Liek week. The pictnre Is a film dramatiratlon of tbe poem "Those Endearing Tonng Charms." by Thomas kfbore. It was produced under the direction of lUAiert McLaughlin. Clevrland film impresarUk and is called "Hidden Charms." The story la pictnre follows tbe poem quite closely, giving attention to the fantastical in connection wiui tbe reference to wishing wells and farles in Ireland. The entire picture was made In and about Cleveland, the old Andrews home, a roansioa that helped to make Euclid avenue fa- mens, being among* the chief settings. A thatcbevl cottage, for a sme in Ireland, was loaned by W. G. Marshall. local drug magnate, on hla estate at Shaker Heights. Considerable local color, that will appeal strongly to andl- ences In Nortbern Ohio p.ortlculariy, la used la the buslncse scenes. In which downtown Cleveland is ptetursd. A glimpse of newspaper workings Is shown. Tbe whole is one thst Mds fair for tuccess as a business proposi¬ tion. and finally proves tbat OaHfomla and Its climate are not tndeepenaible to good motion picture prtxtuctioo.

"FREEDOM OF IRELAND” IN FILMS

Freedom ehrleked, this time with Jof, at Or- cbeatral Hall. Chicago, recratly, when Oe- fora a dlsUngutahed audience which pacxed the big hoose to tbe roof the Capital Film Company gave a private ebowlng of the pictnre of the hour, ‘'FOr the Freedom of Ireland.”

Bnthoelasm reached the boiling point aa tho wondrously affecting story of Irish patriotism, pathos and oacrlflolal endeavor was unfoldod. It was an epochal occaeion for tho frleado of Ireland, who at last have been enabled to wltnese this gripping narration of Ireland’! wrongs depicted open tbe ecreen.

Applause was continuoua tbrtioat the play, at the eumptuons beauty of scenic embellishment, the marvelous attention to detail, the fldeltty to tradition, and above all to the masterly BtUlxation of the producer’s art In presenting at the poycbologlcal moment in the history of tho Emerald Isle tbe greatest and moat mas¬ terly plea for the freedom of Ireland that hat aver been written.

It was a great night for Ireland and her frlenda, a mamorabla occasion for the Capital Film Oiapanf and Its executive offleers, aad the most esthnelastlc premiere ever accorded a aew ploy of the acreen.

THE EDITOR’S SAY (Coatinacd from page 80)

trlbutlDi; or showing motion picture fllms are opposed to censorship, hocause it is an assault upon our constitutional guarantees of liberty. As disinterested friends of the screen, we always regret to see the hired attorneys of manufac¬ turers appear and talk before legisla¬ tive committees. They never help. The greatest impression on the House Committee on Education in its hearing on Federal Censorship was made by three well-known clergymen repre¬ senting the Catholics, the Protestants fuid the Jews. Men of affairs without any Him afhliations make the best op¬ ponents of film censorshlpi.

' THE CBITICAL X-RAY

This picture reminds os of the sweetly tender * St r>s of Fiencli-Cansdlan families, where

brotherly love protects tbe little sisters, and

tbe aacredness of home life is the chief consid¬

eration of the men of the bouse. While tbe

interest is somewhat scattered with two women

railing for attention, the spectator becomes

r'.is-'erated with the oldtime villainy, and the

reakniss of the character of Uabrielie, who scf

fers so many indignities at the hands of the

brutal Bouget. This makes the story mildly

melodramatic, tho the star role kept Mr.

Fa mum ever neder restraint, and bis appear¬

ance conveyed the gentle dreamer of mniic

acd romance. He kept well within the atmos-

; here of the provincial character, an.l such an

laterpretatloa will add largely to bla repertoire

cf Fcroen heroes. A clever bit was given by

Paul Cazeneuve as the pastry maker, Ia Touche,

b-.it tba two Tillalns were constantly plotting

mischief without any apparent reason for their

maltcloua conduct. Locaticna chosen were ap¬

propriate to tbe theme, and while this ia far

from the best of Mr. Famam’s productions its

very disslmillsrty will attract for Its novelty.

There are no suggestive scenes, despite the

dc.spIc.-.Me viraln's tre.stment of the girl.

THE WOMAN’S POINT OP VIEW

We m'ss the virile strength of previous Im- pers*•nations, as well as the absence of love

scenes. While a brother’s devotion Is very rare

and bcaatifol It lacks the sentimental charm of

ardent love-tnoklng. However, Mr. Famum la

always Interesting.

A poor farmeFo family living tbe life of the

of ill the scenes, where the beast pursues tbe

“THE TRIFLERS"

Story by J. T. Poland, directed by Chrttle Cahanne. starring Edith Roberts, five reels,

shown at New York Theater January 3

Reviewed hr MARION RUSSEI.!.

A very engaging romano* In which acreesi

license Agure* largely. But the appeall-g

bcMity ef Edith EoherU made the offering

quite plaatlble.

THE STORY IN SKELETON FORM

A girl clerk In large store cherlshe# dream*

of living like a lady. aa<l Imltatea the manner*

of the upper class aocletv ah# aeea entering

a swell hotel. Her devoted admirer. Han Cas¬

sidy, motorcycle policeman, belong* to the cm- .. *-* I* ann-ed at her girlish amhl-

llont. Taking »««>, *are>l for her vacation, the

atop* It the hlf hotel, deceiving her famllv aa

to ker whereabouts. Here sha la Introduced

to *a number of rich people, among them Monte MsndeTlMe a eoeletv lounger, whose

name la Ilnkad with many acandala. Diamayed

that her bill should he $100 fur four days’ stay

she I* In a seiloua predicament until Monte

offer* to help her out if she will reciprocate

by posing ua hi* wile. In order ‘.u end ibe black-

muiltng tactie* of a castoff name. She consents

and a number of social friends swoop down on

them at tbe country villa. Monte introduces

her a* hla wife, and complications ensue. She

Hoon learns all the shallow heartle.ssnes* of tbe

men and women of bis class, and regrets her

rash act. Before quitting the house she com¬

forts a lonely little rich tioy, and saves the

ri-i'Utation of bis deceitful mother. Dan arrests

some of the party, and la surprised to see her

• u the lawn of tbe mansion, with two suit-

ca-e* and an evening gown. After eiplanationa

:.e takes her sway on hia motorcycle to a

..uoiMcr, hut better life.

THE CRITICAL X-RAY

Unlikely as is this stuiy there is a certain

charm about it* weaving, receiving as U d'>es

the benefit of competent imi>«rs(anatlons from a

long list of clever people. It Is also lavishly

presented and played In the right tempo, which

suits the fragile frameup. Of course the carp¬

ing critics will object to tbe heroine riding a

policeman’s motorcycle in a very decollette

evening gown, bnt then that's part of the

romance. If we atlck too close to realities

■he’d be wearing a $1.S9 calico kitchen frock,

bnt this would spoil the picture for those who

like high-class stuff and prettily gowr.ed lead¬

ing ladles. Little Ben Alexander had one of hla

wlstfnl roles of a neglected kiddie, and shed a

nnmber tf big-sixed tears. Da\id Bntler was

refreshing as the Jolly traffle cop. tho hi* part

was much too weak for his capable handling.

The prodnctlcn was far above the average,

aoclal functions belnj well arranged and the

gowning cf t'.ie ladles an attractive feature.

Camera work also deserves praise for It* clar¬ ity. Many rlctn'e«que garden scenes were

filmed. T e -I'-t'irc was cnrefnllv directed.

THE WOMAN’S POINT OF VIEW

Edith Robert* has a convincing way that

will satisfy the most skeptical f.an and f-r that

reason, as well as her really excellent perform¬

ance of Janet Randall we vote this picture

a success. It Is not tbe least big suggestive,

being refined and clean.

fall. Cassidy now follows Van Arland. who

THE CRITICAL X-RAT

The story in this exciting pictnre has no

weight with the crowd, for It Is made np of

little plot with the acthin circling around the

hangars cf a government station, with Just a

ake’eton of a lov# romance Intruding at various

mnraenta. But It la the great courage of tbe

hero. Cassidy (played by the foremost aviator

of t'jday, llent. 0. L. Iccklear), that holds one

spellbound. Talk cf *uapen«e! The picture 1*

ever-running with thrills and of a sort never

before attempted np-n the screen. The solar

plexus punch la administered twice, but once

would he enough to swing any pictnre to sne

oesa. and people will be dleouaslng the tremen¬

dous stunt performed by the fearless man

who climbs out cn tbe wings of an airplane,

thousands of feet abive the ground, and by

means of a rope laddei pulls himself up to tbe

euemy ship, Jeupuriiiz.n; hio life in the unusuai

climax of thrilling advtnture. And it's genuine

stuff, too, DO substitute or camouduge, for this

young man with tbe steady head and keen eye

aetnally performs the trick ug tho he really en>)yed it.

The outcome of tbe story Is re.illy of sec¬

ondary importance when compared with the

reels of excitement which fill this exceedingly

original photoplay.

THE WOMAN'S POINT OP VIEW

The photography also has a prominent place

In this work, for it wag something of a hazard¬

ous task to catch this picture from dizzy

heights with the object sought by the camera

twirling, twisting, gyrating, somersattlttng thru

apace at a terrifying rate of speed. All credit

is due the men and women concerned in thla

production, and we are grateful for something

entirely new In this beantiful new year.

FIRST NATIONAL STRONG IN NORTHWEST

Finkelstein and Ruben Take Stand for Freedom of Screen

Et, Paul, Jan. 3—St. Paul Is In the front

WaU street control of tbe moving pictnre In¬ dustry.

The Associated First National Theaters* Cir¬

cuit, organized In New Y'erk. with Finkelstein

A Ruben. St. Paul operators, as prime movers,

has for one of it* main objects the freedom of

the film from a rapidly developing moving pic¬

ture trust.

While admitting that the new organization, which Includes S.OOO Independent theaters,

W'luld have this effect. M. L. Finkelstein today

stressed the co-operative feature of the plan.

"We simply got together to buy our own

pictures,” be said.

From New York comes the word that tho

the principal object of the assoclatkin will be

to supply Independent exhibitors with best pic¬

tures, the organizers say they will be render¬ ing a big service to the nation In preventing

tbe moving pictnre Industry from becoming a

mere distributor of propaganda for a few big

private Interests.

By bnying majority interests In producing

companies, distributing agencies and pictnre

theaters New Y'ork financial Interests have al¬

most gained a strangle bold on America’s

"movies.” say the Independent operators. It

is daily becoming more dlfificnlt for an owner

of a single theater, or of a small string of

bouses, to obtain pictures he wants. He la

conlpelled. they say, to take what the pictnre

“trust” will give him.

AGREEMENT 18 ENCOURAGING

Ed C. Warner, who Is watching the railroad situation at Washington in the Interest of car¬ nival owners, is much concerned over the out¬ look for small organizations. At present It is jiosltlvety black, bnt It Is hoped something can be done.

This. In a way. Is made manifest by the agreement reamed Jannary 2 to give the Inter- State Commerce Com-nisslon supreme authority in fixing railroad rates, with power to suspend and annnl rate orders of State Commissions, by the Senate and House conferees in consider¬ ing the Ckch-CummlAs Railroad Reorganization bill*.

The commission, under the agreement, would be authorized to substitute Its findings and rate orde*a for thoee of State Commissions when the latter gave an unfair advantage to or dis- ctimlnated against Interstate commerce.

The agreement provides for little change In the existing law, bnt more definitely establishes the supreme rate-making power of the commis¬ sion and is designed to remove doubt, raised In several cases before the Supreme Court, as to the authority of the commission over local or interstate rates which contlict with Interst.ite tariffs. The power of State Railway Conimls- sions, boweyer, would not be hampered nor en¬ croached upon by the Federal Comm'sslon In the making of Intrastate rates If such did not prejudice or discriminate against interests out¬ side of the State or interfere witli Interstate commerce.

The agreement. Chairman Cummins announces, provides for the adotition of the Senate biiVs imovlslons. The house plan of autborizing the Federal commission to suspend State rates If sarh placed an “undue burden" upon interstate commerce, was believed to Involve conferring on the commission power to 80|>ervise all State rmtes.

If the agreement holds, it will prove dis¬ tinctly encouraging to showmen.

The wagons bar* arrived at the vrlnter (joar- ters and are being retltted for carnival use. The train will be modem in every respect, especial attention being paid to the Meep<-rs.

Mr. Hunter, well-known concession manager, will he with the Ixios Shows this year, as well .as Illky Adams, who will hate the dining car. •Ml she wfnlks are welctmietl at w inter quarters in the Colis».'uni, Ft. Worth.

MRS. BUCK WEAVER

CanuTal Owners of America, Attention!!! | BANNER PAINTERS MOVE

Th® Secretary, Mr. John P. Martin, has recently sent you several letters The nature of these letters you know. Whether you have paid any attention to his suggestion, for which a self-addressed envelope was enclosed, you can best ansB’er.

Possibly you have taken it for granted that if the “BIG SHOWS” get by, you will also. This may or may not be true, and this is neither the time nor place to anticipate, cherish or fondle idle and careless thoughts.

Mr. Ed. C. Warner, who has the matter of transportation in charge, will undoubtedly be put to the very limit of effort, plus experience, to bring about some condition whereby you can “reasonably expect” to move this season. This notice is addressed to every carnival owner in America, but particularly to those who depend upon transportation lines for equipment.

Should you suddenly realize that railroads no longer will furnish you even a box car you then B’ould ever regret your lack of good Judg¬ ment In the matter of Mr. John P. Martin’s urgent communications.

You do not know but what there might be a segregation in which the “BIG SHOWS,”having all their OB'n equipment, will be in a class by them¬ selves. and move, whereas you, B'ho have heretofore arranged for trans¬ portation thru the Passenger Department, might find such service totally discontinued, and those of you who have heretofore secured a box or flat car thru regular channels might find this avenue closed entirely. More¬ over. do you think you could stand for a “strong upward tilt” in rates?

It’s up to you. Mr. Showman. Bho neither owns nor controls private rolling stock, to protect yourself—if possible—NOW, and that protection must come from old, experienced and thoroly qualifled men like Mr. Warner.

Neither of us has asked, seeks nor desires remuneration. Therefore the least you can possibly do is to co-operate. Your continued silence to Mr. Martin’s request Bill be considered derogatory to carnival owners’ Interests, and as you act upon his suggestion B-e will take It that you wish us In Washington to remember you likewise. If you have not re¬ ceived the letter in question, address Mr. John P. Martin, Secretary, Suite 317 Strand Theater Building, New York City, N. Y., for a copy at one*. GEO. L. DOBYNS, Chairman.

Mail Forwarding Service of The J? Billboard stands alone as a safe and sure medium thru which pro- Bennett, Dixie fessional people may have their Bell. Jeesie

mail addressed. Thousands of {J**!'- ^ performers and showfolk now re- •BeAnett'^nr. ceive their mail thru this highly •••Benton. Je efficient department. Iiertweii. ‘Mra.

Mail is sometimes lost and mix- •••Besser, Mi

ups result because performers do Biiiinit# joe not write plainly, do not give cor- Black. Anttelir rect address or forget to give an ••Biaokhnm. 1 address at all when writ.ng for ‘Blake. Mnbei

advertised mail. Others send let- ters and write address and name ••mook.^Mr*. BO near postage stamp that it is itoan-eiil B. obliterated in cancelation by the I^Rweii, Kutu

postoffice stamping machines. In *” " such cases and where such letters bear no return address the letter can only be forwarded to Dead Letter Office. Help The Billboard handle your mail by complying 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 (**) 8t. Louis.. .Three Stars (*♦*) San Francisco .(S) If your name appears in the let¬

ter 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 sup¬ plied with your route and mail will be forwarded without the neces¬ sity of advertising it. Postage is required only for packages—letter service is absolutely ^ree.

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

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, SL Louis or San Francisco, but are advised, if they are en route, to consider the home office carefully.

CINCINNATI IS BUT THIRTY-ONE MILES FROM THE GEOGRAPH¬ ICAL CENTER OF POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES AND CAN- ADA, 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 is desirable to write ff’.'*mail when your name FIRST appears in the list. Address your postal to “Mail Forwarding Service, The Billboard."

The Sweetest Story Ever Told to the Salesboard Operator Who Travels Out of the Old Rut and Wants the Latest and Best

Fine Quality Chocolates Packed in Attractive Boxes

SAME-DAY DEUVERY The immense sale with which our Candy Salesboard Assortments are meeting is proof that we have found exactly what the buyers want! And, after you have tried out a sample shipment of this merchandise, you will readily understand why the buyers all over the country are reporting such splendid results from

our goods.

Our Candy is of excellent quality and is put up in boxes that have never been equalled—never been even approached in beauty, appeal and eye-catching flash! Big, handsome boxes (and smaller ones t(X), of course) with beautiful Girl Subjects and other real art subjects in rich lithography, offset printing and genuine tinted photographs. Many of the subjects are heavily embossed, which, together with their large sizes, gives them a most striking and life-like appearance.

If you are in the Salesboard business, you can’t afford to go another day without full information about this best of all salesboard proposition.

Prompt deliveries. That’s our specialty and our hobby! Even during the war, when fancy boxes were so hard to get and when the sugar shortage was tying up the candy business, we never had an order in our house more than six hours! We guarantee same-day delivery.

Don't put it off t Don’t wait another day to ^et in toiush with us and to

let us send you our descriptive circular of our complete assortments, to¬

gether with our low prices, which we will mall to you in our first tuter.
