BOB ROBERTS IS DROWNED; 

BYRON JAMES SAVES GIRL 

Second Tenor of the Clipper Quartet Hero at Wilson Bathing 
Beach Last Friday Afternoon. 


Byron James, second tenor of the 
Clipper Quartet, saved a young- girl’s 
•life at the Wilson Avenue bathing beach 

on Friday afternoon of last-’ 

■—he realized the seri- 

srts’ position, would 
.... lives to his credit. 

Bob Roberts, a singer of songs at 
cafes and moving picture theaters, met 
a young lady at the beach and the two 
were wading along the sand bar. They 
stepped off into nine feet of water. The 
girl became excited and threw her arms 
around Roberts' neck. He could swim 
and she could not. 

Among the bathers that afternoon was 
Byron James. He saw the bathers’ 
danger and hurried to the rescue. Know¬ 
ing that Roberts could swim he devoted 


himself to getting tjie young lady 
ashore. Carrying her to a place of 
safety he turned to see how Roberts 
was getting along and was surprised to 
find he had gone under. Returning he 
dived several times but Billy Mann, a 
minstrel, was also after the body and 
the black-faced man reached It first. 

The young lady called upon Mr. James 
at the Wilson Avenue theater last Satur¬ 
day afternoon and thanked him again 
and again. James was made much over 
at that house the remainder of the week, 
when It was learned that he had saved 
a life at the beach. “I could have saved 
them both, had I realized that the boy 
was so near gone,” said James. “His 
heart must have failed him.”

The Old Timer Who Came Back — But Went Away Again 

By FRANCIS OWEN of Owen & Hoffman 


— CE upon a TIME there was a 
SOUBRETTE who chewed GUM op 
Street cars, talked loudly in HOTEL, 
offices about HER ACT, and made quiet, 
retiring, SHOW people blush for the 
profession! every time her LOUD hats 
and frocks came SCREACHING up the 
street. A PESSIMIST who lived in the 
same HOTEL, listened patiently for a 
time to her SELF-ADVERTISING 

.a HOTEL LOBBY, and determined 

the first chance he got to go and see if 
she were the BIG NOISE and RIOT she 
.claimed to be. He told the rest of the 
disgusted BUNCH that it was an old 
— ‘rue saying that a BARKING dog 
BITES, and he believed the SOU- 
BRETTE was just an ordinary person 
with nothing but NERVE, and a good 
bunch of assurance to help her out. 
Several ACTORS who listened to this 
flow of WISDOM said they thought the 
SAME thing, because THEY never 
talked about themselves, although 
THEIR ACT was always a SCREAM, 
ind SAM DU VRIES had been just 
BEGGING them to play his SOUTHERN 
“~ie at MORE money. The PESSI- 
ST listened with a smile and won- 

■ed if there was < >nk m. >M :st .. 

woman in VAUDEVILLE who wouldn’t 
talk about themselves or ACT, if given 
the SMALLEST loophole. He had a 
ay-off soon after this and heard the 
SOUBRETTE say. as she departed 
oaded down with BUNDLES and SUIT¬ 
CASES, "Come and LOOK me over 


. - —o big last night the MANAGER 

had to make a SPEECH and tell ’em 
I just COULDN'T do any MORE.” The 
PESSIMIST winked at the rest of the 
BUNCH, and told them to wait for him 
that NIGHT after the SHOW,—he was 
going to look over this WONDER, and 
then they could all CALL her next day 
and make her BEHAVE herself in 
PUBLIC. That night the PESSIMIST 
sat in front and grqw SMALLER and 
SMALLER as the SOUBRETTE rolled 
up enough HANDS to last some ACTS 
the rest of their lives. She took SIX or 
hKVfflW bows—they rang up on AN¬ 
OTHER act, and rang down again be¬ 
cause the AUDIENCE wouldn’t let the 
SOUBRETTE go. Then sh<» made a nice 
MODEST little speech, thanking them 
for APPLAUDING her poor efforts. The 
PESSIMIST walked home in a dazed 
condition, ran up to his room and locked 
the door. The GANG waited in the OF¬ 
FICE for him, and then sent a delega¬ 
tion up to see if he was in. The PESSI¬ 
MIST refused to unlock the door, but 
SHOUTED over the transom: “She WAS 
a RIOT, a SCREAM, a KNOCKOUT. 
She had to make a SPEECH. They are 
hollering for her yet. She WAS the hit 
of the hill. She can SING, she can 
DANCE, and does GREAT Imitations. 
After this don’t take LIBERTIES with 
a dog just because he BARKS—he may 
BITE too. and CHEW your hand off.” 

MORAL—YOU NEVER CAN TELL 


—J night of last week at the Bush Tern- 
ale attracted a capacity crowd and the 
•eceipts were $148. This is pretty nice

CHICAGO NEWSPAPERS’ ATTITUDE 
TOWARD THE PRESS AGENTS 

Percy Hammond, dramatic critic of 
the Chicago Tribune, practically admits 
that the Tribune “scans microscopically 
the stories of the press agent, and then, 
nine times out of ten, throws them 
away. He states that such stories are 
not based on facts in many cases, and 
thinks that statements followed by de¬ 
nials are of little value to either pro¬ 
ducer or reader. It Is this careful scrut¬ 
iny of press agent stories that makes 
the Tribune announcements of value. 
O. L. Hall, dramatic critic of the Chi¬ 
cago Journal, is also very careful about 
theater announcements, and while con¬ 
ducting his department in a different 
way from that of The Tribune, has the 
confidence of the theatrical reading pub¬ 
lic to an equally high degree. Hall 
keeps better track of amusement af¬ 
fairs than the Tribune theatrical edi¬ 
tors., as The Journal has a department 
published every day. The recent re¬ 
turn of O. L. Hall from his vacation 
plain enough to readers of the

opinion at random and does not pick 
the little one, he loses. It is as easy 
as to select “Billee” Methven as "man¬ 
ager" of the Methven Sisters’ act.

financially and ev¬ 
ery other way. The 
public look upon 
them as the worst 
that ever happened, 
and some in the pro¬ 
fession—their broth¬ 
ers and sisters— 

them. When I was 

tops” working up 
snake stories and lion births, I always 
found peace of mind and genuine comfort 
back in the clear about the stake and 
chain wagon. Say, I got more ideas for 
use in my line from canvasmen than X 
ever did among the rich and prominent. 
If the common sense that comes from 
the fellow who works on canvas and at 
the funs could be massed it would easily 
back from the boards the knowledge of 
Harvard, Tale, Cornell or any other 




I have one man in mind \ _ 

the circus as canvasman and stuck 
through all the hardships, I mean Billy 
Curtis, at present superintendent of can¬ 
vas with the Sells-Floto shows. He 
stands an example of what can be ac¬ 
complished by adhering strictly to the 
policy "make good.” I have watched 
this man taking a bunch of canvasmen 
around the big top guying out for an 
approaching storm. He didn’t yell at 
his men, but, in giving an instruction, 
used mildly: “Gentlemen, do this, or 
do that.” Do you know of any canvas- 
man who is right that does not praise 
Billy Curtis? I was press agent of a 
big tent show Curtis was with for three 
seasons and in all that time he never 
had a single blow-down; and storms we 
experienced were fierce. If circus own¬ 
ers would permit Curtis and the other 
leading boss canvasmen to form the 
policy by which workingmen are hired 
and paid and treated there would not be 
the trouble about Jielp that 


exercised by s 


n the last day of tl 


mmimm 


and dispatch. Both these inventions 
save time and labor, and are direct 
promptings from humanity's realm. 
There are two rules Billy Curtis has 
unflinchingly kept: _ 


THE RIGHT KIND OF A MAN 
CAN ALWAYS LEARN SOME¬ 
THING WORTH KNOWING. 

PATIENCE IS THE ROUTE OF 
ADVANCEMENT IN ALL LINES 
OF LIFE. 


I want the fellows about the circuses 
to cut the Curtis rules out and often re¬ 
peat them and strictly adhere to same. 
It is worth your while.

been pried loose from a $2,000,000 In¬ 
heritance because he married a chorus 
girl. For a time the generous dad sup¬ 
plied the alleged erring son with a $1 
each evening to pay for his room at a 
hotel and $1 each morning to pay for 
-the meals of the newly married couple. 
Can you imagine a chorus girl eating 
for fifty cents a day when her hubby 
Is in line for a $2,000,000 inheritance? 


AS TO RECEIPTS. 

Receipts' are worrying the managers 
-of touring attractions, the opera house 
managers, and the vaudeville artists. 
Tt is the gross receipts which worry the 
producers and owners and managers of 
•theaters where attractions are seen, but 
the vaudeville artist is being warned to 
keep close watch on another kind of re¬ 
ceipts—those bits of writing which 
acknowledge the taking of money. 

It appears, from a signed article of 
"Harry Mountford in the last issue of 
"The Player” (organ of the White Rats), 
that vaudeville artists often sign re¬ 
ceipts for salary before the money is 
actually handed to them and before there 
is an opportunity for the recipient to 
have counted it. Mr. Mountford points 
out that this opens the way to fraud, 
and warns the players not to sign re¬ 
ceipts until salaries have been counted 
and found correct. The way in which 
his advice is worded intimates that art¬ 
ists are sometimes "shorted” in this 

If the players will follow Mr. Mount- 
ford’s advice a slight reform will have 
been worked in the vaudeville game. 
There is no reason why the artist should 
hesitate to insist on receiving moneys 
before receipting for same. 


SYSTEM IN THE SHOW BUSINESS 

The recent action of the Sullivan & 
Considine vaudeville management in de¬ 
termining to route performers over their 
time in companies, offering the same 
bill, act for act, in the various houses 
on their extensive circuit, is another 
indication of the development of vaude¬ 
ville along sound business lines.

HAVE THE MASTER CIRCUS FINANCIERS 
REACHED THEIR DOTAGE? 


It is charged, not only by interested parties but by 
disinterested newspapers, that one of the oig shows 
of the circus trust has been covering paper posted by 
the foremost independent tented enterprise. Is it pos¬ 
sible that the supposedly brainy, brilliant financiers 
whose octopus arms have been corralling the hoarded 
half-dollars of the little folks the country over have 
reached their dotage and have returned to the practices 
of the olden days when one man with a paste bucket 
and brush heralded the coming of Jumbo and his noted 
associates? Is the circus trust demonstrating that it 
can “come back” to the characteristics of the little 
circusman who fought tooth and nail for his existence 
—who recognized no law of honor and no law of the 
land? 

Covering circus paper is by no means a new trick 
in the profession and, under ordinary circumstances, 
despicable though it may be, would call for but little 
comment. But the adoption of the one-ring methods 
by an organization which claims millions as its back¬ 
ing is indeed something extraordinary and something 
which is likely to call attention to the men who claim 
to have systematized the circus business. 

The alleged syndicate show which is charged with 
having covered independent paper is the Eorepaugh & 
Sells Brothers Circus, a part of the Ringling organiza¬ 
tion. The charges which are now advanced have been 
advanced before and in explanation the Ringling 
Brothers have offered the wobbly excuse that they can¬ 
not control their billposters and that they have con¬ 
stantly forbidden their employes to cover the paper of 
a rival circus attraction. Does it seem reasonable that 


men who have perfected a system which they claim 
to have been taken as a pattern by the armies and other 
governmental departments of this country and Europe 
are unable to enforce their commands given to indi¬ 
viduals who are among the most lowly that they em¬ 
ploy? There are men in the circus business today 
who would discharge a bill car manager a day a whole 
season through but what they would be obeyed. 

While somewhat nettled at what they call the syndi¬ 
cate’s ‘little circusman’s” tactics, the Sells Ploto people 
were not much surprised that their paper had been 
covered. They said that in practically every locality 
which they had played in opposition to the trust shows 
they had been accorded the same treatment. In Leaven¬ 
worth; Kan., their paper was covered almost completely 
and in Atchison and Wichita the same. The covering 
of the country routes out of Wichita aroused such 
public sympathy that the Olpe Optimist, a little paper 
printed in Olpe, about ten miles from Wichita, gratui¬ 
tously advertised that “Sells-rioto Show Bills were 
covered by the Eorepaugh & Sells’ Bills but the Sells- 
Floto show Thursday, July 14, just the same.” Olpe 
trouped into Wichita in a body to see the independents’ 
exhibition. 

The covering of advertising paper posted by one 
circus by an opposition organization was held in vio¬ 
lation of the law some three years ago when the Sells- 
Floto management sought and obtained from the Cir¬ 
cuit court in the state of Kansas a permanent injunc¬ 
tion prohibiting the Ringling Brothers, controlling what 
is known as the “circus trust,” from covering Sells- 
Floto paper. 


recent years have been many and as 
seasons pass the lot of the free-lance 
performer and the irresponsible book¬ 
ing agent who have little or no regard 
for existing contracts or obligations is 
becoming harder. System is the cor¬ 
nerstone upon which the biggest busi¬ 
nesses in other walks of life nave been 
reared and the application of system 
to the show business can have but one 
result, namely, to make the business of 
amusing the great American public 
more and more dignified and legitimate. 


A TRICK OF THE SHOW BUSINESS 

The business of managing a theater 
in a city the size of Chicago where so 
many playhouses with almost equal 
chances of success are to be found is 
an intricate one. The salaries paid for 
such work are sufficiently large to at¬ 
tract men of exceptional executive 
ability and these men are constantly on 
the .alert to "put one over” on their 
competitors. To the person on the out¬ 
side who is interested in the "show 
game” the little things which are done 
by the respective managers and press 
agents to corner the almighty dollar 
which is indeed a flighty thing offer 
almost as much amusement and enter¬ 
tainment as do the performances which 
are given on the stages of the various 
theaters—and one doesn’t have to give 
up a dollar and a half or two dollars 
for the diversion. 

With the opening of “The Girl from 
Rector’s” at the Chicago opera house 
Friday evening of last week, Chicago 
was treated to a notable trick of the 
trade perpetrated by Manager George 


A. Kingsbury who is often spoken of 
as one of the foremost theatrical men 
now working in Chicago. 

From the fact that “The Girl from 
Rector’s” had been eternally "panned” 
in almost every city of consequence in 
the country and had played Chicago 
not many months before with results 
that were scarcely satisfactory, to say 
the least, it seemed evident that the A1 
H. Woods “off color” play -was a “bad 
bet.” It certainly needed something out 
of the ordinary to “get it away” in a 
manner that was calculated to give it 
at least a fair chance with other at¬ 
tractions current in the city. 

The trick devised was this: “The 
Girl from Rector’s” was extensively 
billed to open Saturday evening, August 
6. Two or three other openings were 
set for the same night—and the other 
shows opening were all new ones which- 
had a better claim upon the newspaper 
critics and the theatergoing public be¬ 
cause of their newness. Without any 
public announcement, it was arranged 
to have the interpreting company arrive 
in Chicago just one day earlier than 
had been originally planned. The Chi¬ 
cago opera house bill room was choked 
up with special cards and paper an¬ 
nouncing as an “Extra” that "The Girl 
from Rector’s” would open Friday 
evening instead of Saturday evening as 
had been said in the hundreds of dollars 
worth of newspaper and billboard ad¬ 
vertising which had been done in ad¬ 
vance. On Friday morning the coupe 
was sprung. The newspapers blossomed 
with the “Extra” and an extra force of 
billers covered the city with the special 


ARE THE CIRCUSES 

GETTING THE MONEY? 

(By L. T. Berliner.) 

Every time I see a circus per¬ 
formance. I wonder how the 
people stand it under the redhot 
tops these midsummer days. I 
always say “never again,” yet 
manager to find a seat when I 
am near any sort of a circus. 

However, it is a question this 
season whether the people are 
flocking to the tented aggrega¬ 
tions as heretofore. 

Jones Bros.’ Buffalo Ranch 
Wild West opened here and re¬ 
ports say that business has been 
big in places and money has 
been made. Frank Robbins says 
business has been good so far 
but is not very enthusiastic. The 
farewell tour of the Buffalo Bill 
outfit has drawn business. Bar- 
num & Bailey is bringing in 
money for the Baraboo Broth¬ 
ers, but I am told their name ■ 
show is only breaking even. The 
Wallace outfit and Robinson 
shows are doing fairly well, it is 
said, and Sells-Floto is-«epbrted 
a big winner. Miller Brothers 
always get some money. 

The smaller aggregations have 
been traveling rough roads this 
season and again I ask' “Is busi¬ 
ness as good as we are told?” 


billing. “The Girl from Rector’s” as 
cordingly opened with no other attrao 
tion against it and the idle public ah 
newspaper reviewers found themselvC 
at liberty to try the ‘panned’ show onci 
again. JBb 1 

This is an account of a trick of thj 
trade and does not presume to say that! 
“The Girl from Rector’s” has profited 
materially from the trick. That the 
Friday evening opening was fully a* 
well attended as were openings the fob 
lowing night is a fact, however, api [, 
the spicy entertainment is going alonl 
in spite of protests which should haV 
sent it to the shelf long ago. 

These tricks are not uncommon an 
the new theatrical season which hai 
just opened will give abundant oppor¬ 
tunity for their observation. 1

STARTS ANCIENT 

HISTORY SCHOOL 

Unconfirmed telegrams, buz¬ 
zing through our exclusive 
wires, bear out the astounding 
story that Joseph E. Howard 
has started an Ancient History 
school. It will be called "The 
Harrison,” and will undoubted¬ 
ly prove a monument to the 
memory of the versatile com¬ 
poser—actor—manager. 

Its aim will be to grind out 
composers by the hour, with 
absolutely no regard for orig¬ 
inality. Mr. Howard, in the 
capacity of dean, will see that 
this edict is carried out. All 
the aspiring youngsters, gath¬ 
ered from the farm, who have 
paid their tuition in advance, 
will be huddled into a room, 
where the original Joe will play 
classic airs upon a pianola. 
Each air will be assigned to a 
student. One hour later, he 
whistles as much as he can re¬ 
member of It to a handy music 
arranger. The arranger will 
complete the tune and mark it: 
"composed by Jos. E. Howard.” 
Mr. Howard Will award a year's 
free scholarship to the writer 
of the best tune. 

Reginald De Koven, Grace 
Le Boy, as well as a host of 
representatives of America's 
most famous one-fingered com¬ 
posers, declare that the school 
will do much to advance com¬ 
posing In this country. 


It is rumored that Winchell 
Smith, the redoubtable writer 
of “The Fortune Hunter,” has 
secured a one million-dollar 
air-ship with which to collect 
nightly, royalties at the thea¬ 
ters where the aforesaid play 
is being produced. 

Despite reports to the con¬ 
trary, we are assured that the 
enormous weight of the money 
collected has not yet sunk the 
ship.

But ye editor spent a most

FARMERS MEET 

GREAT LOSS 

(Special to the Throttle) 
Forty cows and a chorus girl 
were instantly killed In a 
wreck on the P. X. & Z. line, 
at a point south of the North 

The farmers are thankful 
that all the passengers escaped 
injury and bear their loss 
cheerfully as the railroad com¬ 
pany has already agreed to re¬ 
imburse them for the dead 


and the evil will s 


in their way, perhaps, do n_. 
and will not solve the problem. 
You can’t kill a tree by pulling 
off leaves. You must get at 
the root of the evil. 

Following this philosophy, 
we detailed a score of detectives 
and reporters upon the scene; 
their reports have verified our 
suspicions and we are pre¬ 
pared to make our conclusions 
public property. 

Get to the root of the evil; 
get to the cause! 

If the police department will 
prevent Raymond A. Hibbeler, 
C. P. McDonald, Raymond A. 
Browne, Gus Kahn, Aubrey 
Stauffer, Marvin Lee, Arthur 
Gillespie, Harry A. Newton, and 
others in the same class, from 
perpetrating their lyrics upon 
the unsuspecting publishers; 
if they will prevent Grace Le 
Boy, Don Bestor, Hampton 
Durand, Billy Johnson, A1 
Fredericks, etc., etc., from 
writing their melodies; if they 
will forcibly induce Harry and 
Robert B. Smith, Irving B. 
Lee, Charles Edelman and a 
few others, to cease writing 
books for muqjcal comedies— 
this woeful condition will soon 
become a matter of history.

The chief of police has com¬ 
plained that the alley-ways in 
the neighborhood of Clark and 
Randolph streets are being del¬ 
uged constantly with play and 
song manuscripts which pub¬ 
lishers and producers have 
found unavailable. 

The condition is very grave, 
as the unceasing accumula¬ 
tion has congested traffic in the 
neighborhood to a startling de¬ 
gree. The pink ribbons bind¬ 
ing many of the manuscripts 
have become entangled with 
the wheels of passing street 
cars and automobiles, causing 
frightful accidents, which are 
attributed, in ignorance, to 
recklessness on the part of 
motorneers and chauffeurs. 
The ink from many of the ob¬ 
noxious parcels has stained 
the pumps and open-work 
stockings of passing chorus 
girls, and many of the wretch¬ 
ed tunes persist in being heard 
above the roar of traffic. 

A remedy has been called 
for, and the Throbbing Throt¬ 
tle. true to its principles of 
safe-guarding the interest of 
the public, with absolutely no 
regard for the expense involved 
intends to advance it. 

Coroner Harry Askin has 
written a characteristically 
brief letter to Chief Adolph E. 
Meyers, in which he declares 
that since the offense amounts 
to murder in all intrinsic fea¬ 
tures, all the publishers and 
producers who so flagrantly 
disregard the city ordinances 
should be tried for murder 
forthwith. 

Upon hearing of this letter,

tective Union, delivered a force¬ 
ful address at the bi-weekly 
meeting of that organization.

REHEARSAL REVIEW 
(Of a Show Not Yet Produced) 

The advantage in reviewing a 
rehearsal over the old-fash¬ 
ioned mode of waiting for a 
show's production is readily 
seen when we realize that no 
tine costuming, no elaborate 
stage-settings, and no en¬ 
thusiastic first night’s audience 
interfere with a candid, 
straight-forward account of the 
merits or lack of merits of the 
play. And rehearsals are the 
chief test of ability of those 
behind a play.

HOW BUFFALO JONES FIRECRACKERED AND LASSOED A LIONESS 


If anybody has a lingering doubt 
that Buffalo Jones and his hardy cow¬ 
boys firecrackered and lassoed fierce 
wild beasts in the East African jun¬ 
gle all he has to do is to go, and peep 
into the hold of the Minneapolis and 
see the big lioness down there. 

“You see,” said the Colonel. “I have 
been all the way out to the ranch in 
New Mexico since I got back from 
the other side, and when some coyotes 
began to cast aspersions relative to 
the authenticity of our adventures I 
felt it was up to me to come back as 
a committee of reception and show 
folks that the lion we got was real. 
She is a two-year-old, finest of her 
sex and kind, and the keeper on the 
boat tells me is anticipating an

interesting event. In other words,” 
explained the Colonel, “she’s about 
to have kittens. 

“But you want the adventure. Well, 
it was near Kijaba, K-i-j-a-b-a, which 
is 100 miles on the railroad from Nai¬ 
robi. Our trained dogs got her trail 
and followed. She turned and gave 
fight. I was up with the dogs. Cove- 
lace and Means, my companions, and 
the two moving picture men were 
three miles in the rear. When the 
lioness roared it almost shook the 
earth and Covelace and Means, hear¬ 
ing. rode at once to my 'aid. I was 
mounted upon a trusty mustang. 

“Well, that critter then stood there 
and defied us. Then she ran into a 
fissure in the ground, and I threw the 


York Sun.) 

rope at her twice ’ere she disappeared. 
It hit her, but' did not catch. Whqn 
she had got into the fissure I took a 
big cannon cracker and threw it into 
the opening and she came out. The 
other boys threw the rope, first one 
and then the other, but she went first 
into a clump of bushes and then into 
the tall grass. Then it was I tied a 
big rock to the end of a lasso and 
pulled it over the place where she 
lay. She began to understand she 
was powerless against us. 

“Then Means threw a lasso over the 
bough of a tree, the noose falling 
above her as she lay in the grass. 
Next I rode toward the beast with a 
forked stick and pushed the noose 
down over her head. She leaped into 


the air, but I passed on. She all but 
jumped through that noose, but one 
of her hind feet caught. Then we 
lassoed two of the other feet in turn. 
She roared and wiggled as she was 
drawn clear of the ground, but I took 
a pair of iron tongs constructed for 
the purpose and fitted to one of the 
stuffed lions in the British Museum, 
clamped them upon her nose and she 
was helpless. Then we made a sledge, 
lowered her down upon it, and hitch¬ 
ing it to our saddles, cowboy fashion, 
rode off to the mountains. 3 
“And,” concluded the Colonel, “if 
anybody doubts it now, we’ve got 
moving pictures describing the whole 
thing. We are going to take the i 
animal to Broflx Park today.” 


UNUSUAL EVENTS WITH 

PARKER SHOWS AT MINOT 

Minot, S. D., Aug. 10.—Two events of 
extraordinary interest enlivened the en¬ 
gagement of the Great Parker shows 
here last week. The shows entertained 
Governor John Burke and A. A. Powers, 
who left the shows here, was made the 
recipient of a number of handsome gifts. 

Governor Burke, who is just now in 
the heat of a determined political cam¬

EARLY CIRCUS TRAINING 

SAVES MAN PROM DEATH 

Philadelphia, Aug. 10.—Training he 
had as a circus acrobat years ago saved 
Frank Ludlam, of this city, from seri¬ 
ous injury or death here a few days 
ago. Ludlam has lately been employed 
by the Quaker City Window Cleaning 
Company. He was cleaning a window 
on the fourth story of a building when 
he fell backwards. Retaining his pres¬ 
ence of mind he turned his body so 
that he would alight on his feet, a 
trick he had learned 'in his early circus 
days. He landed on a small scaffolding 
on the ground floor and sustained no 
greater injuries than the breaking of the 
arches of both of his feet. 


MICHIGAN RAILROAD

Grand Rapids, Mich., Aug. 10.—The 
railroads of Michiban have recognized 
the importance of the sixtieth annivers¬

this city by granting half-fare rates 
from all points in the state. Prof. F. 
P. Robison and his aeronautic lion, “Ted¬ 
dy,” have been engaged as one of the 
outdoor amusement attractions. "Teddv”

Featured with the Sells-Floto Shows 


CIRCUS SCRAPPING REACHES 

OLD-TIME HOLD-UP STAGE 


During the present circus season 
the Wallace shows, independent, and 
the Forepaugh-Sells shows, of the 
combine, have found themselves in 
the same territory much of the time. 
In a recent issue of The Show World, 
attention was called to things which 
were being said anent “dead men 
running a circus.” Now from Bloom¬ 
ington. Ill., over the signature of J. J. 
Conners, comes the following com¬ 
munication which further shows the 
animosity which exists between the 
Forepaugh-Sells combination and the 
Wallace shows: 


“There has been considerable trouble 
between the Wallace show and the Fore¬ 
paugh-Sells show during their engage¬ 
ments in Indiana. It seems that the 
Forepaugh-Sells billposters covered a lot 
of paper put up by the Wallace men and 
that after the last Forepaugh-Sells car 
had passed through the towns in dispute 
the Wallace people got out a herald 
against their opposition. The herald, in¬ 
deed. was more of a boost than a knock, 
for it advertised the coming of the Fore- 
paugh-Sells s' ~ ' * " * 


brigade covered a lot of Forepaugh-Sells 
“coming soon” paper and, in turn, had 
their paper covered by Forepaugh-Sells 
posters 

"At Newcastle, Ind., it is said, soma 
Forepaugh-Sells billposters were held up 
on their route and relieved of their 
brushes. The Wallace men hired an au¬ 
tomobile and were gone from the town 
only a couple of hours; upon their re¬ 
turn they were arrested and fined, al¬ 
though the Forepaugh-Sells crew were 
delayed a number of hours. When they 
recovered their brushes, the Forepaugh- 
Sells people went out into the country 
and covered everything in sight. The 
Wallace crew, remembering their expe¬ 
rience with the court, did not try any 
further strenuous measures for the pro¬ 
tection of their paper, and another item 
was added to the expense account of 
fighting a trust show without avail. The 
Wallace date in Newcastle was the day 
after the automobile incident and the 
Wallace show played the town with all 
of its paper in the surrounding country 

“At present, the Forepaugh-Sells 
shows are billed through the middle west 
with "coming soon” paper, but not even 
the agents will tell the dates in the 
towns which are billed. This advance 

billing has ' ■ ■■ - 

shows ir- 


- the John Robinson 

e of the towns.” 


Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 10.—Miss Eva 
Kelly, who for the past ten years has 
been a member of the Charles Frohman 
and Charles Edwards enterprises in 
England, is to be the Belasco’s new 
leading lady and will open her engage- 


ing lady and will open her engage- 

_: in "Such a Little Queen.” Miss 

Kelly is a daughter of Jas. C. Kelly, a 
famous California comedian, and the 
wife of G. P. Huntley, character actor. 

Miss Bessie Barriscale, of the Virginia 
Harned company, was taken seriously 
ill the early part of the week and was 
obliged to leave at once for her home in 
San Francisco. Miss Margaret Gordon 
filled the part on short notice and played 
in it until the close of Miss Harned’s 
engagement. 

“Little Johnnie Jones” will start on 
its second big week at_the Burbank. 
Marjorie Rambeau is creating quite a 
sensation in the piece. Miss Rambeau 
was the guest of honor of the Milsoma 
Club at a banquet at Christofher’s after 
Wednesday evening’s performance. The 
club members came in a private car to 
this city and occupied a majority of the 
-ink t- “ - 


Burbank boxes at the play. 


Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 10.—Edna 
Darch, the Los Angeles girl who has 
gained such distinction abroad as a 
prima donna, has returned home. While 
in Europe she was presented with a 
bronze signet ring of the ruling house 
of Bavaria, a memento which is only 
presented to the highest and most tal¬ 
ented musical artists of Germany. Miss 
Darch has spent five years abroad and 
for some time was a prominent member 
of the Royal Opera Company, of Berlin.

OUTDOOR AMUSEMENTS 
ON THE OTHER SIDE 

John D. Tippett, Recognized Authority in Europe, Writes 
Entertainingly for the Show World 

Crawford, the skating rink man, has 
just opened a park In Marseilles, France, 
id- In Cologne and in Berlin there are Luna 
of parks owned by J. Henry Illes of Lon- 
se- don, that is, by Mr. files and his com- 


the foremost figures in outdoor 
ments in Europe. The Show World is 
in receipt of an interesting communica¬ 
tion from Mr. Tippett as to the progress 


if outdoor amusement o 


which is of particuiar value because U ft 
comes from a man who is an acknowl¬ 
edged authority on the subject. The 
communication, in part, is as follows: 

"Since my arrival here, I have found 
myself almost smothered with a volume 
of work. This has kept my nose to the 
wheel very studiously and outside of an 
occasional trip to London' and Paris, I 
have had few experiences in places other 
than Brussels, Belgium, where I am pro¬ 
moting amusements at the big exposl- 

“Today on the continent there are in 
operation but two expositions—the one 
here and the other in Vienna. This one, 
about the size of the Chicago fair, is 


a band manager in London a.... 
was attracted to his present line of work 
by the success of the Thompson Scenic 
Road at Shepard’s Bush. He took this 
road over and with it the rights of L. A. 
Thompson in Europe. He also owns the 
amusements at the exposition and other 
amusements here at the exposition in a 
place called the Kurymis (ancient 
Brussels). Calvin Brown still operates 
his place at Manchester, England, which 
is and always has been, a dismal failure. 
At Berlin, a party by the name of C. H. 
Murray, formerly press agent for Fred 
Thompson at Luna Park, runs a park 
just built and called Nuen Welt. There 
are no other American idea amusement 
parks operated over here. One is under 
the course of construction at Cairo, to 


amusements, as known in America, 
unknown in Europe prior to the opening 
of Luna Park in Paris last year. 

“This exposition is an international 
affair, having been built with money 
contributed by sixteen countries, besides 
Belgium. The attendance will probably 
reach about 18,000,000, or more than 
the attendance at the St. Louis Fair. 

"At Vienna is being held the Hunting 
Exposition, a small affair which was 
opened only a short time ago. I have 
not as yet got a good line on it. I was 
down there prior to the opening. They 
have only a few amusements. Inside, 
the principal one is the Battle of Lassa. 
McConnell's show, after the style of 
the Monitor & Merrimac. Besides these 
two exhibitions there is being held at 
Shepard’s Bush in London, the English- 
Japanese Exhibition. This is a small 
exposition, with exhibits from the coun¬ 
tries indicated, and is operated by Imre 
Kiralfy with a big company behind him. 
This is too fine a place to be called a 
park, as it is bigger and more elaborate 
than all the parks in New York City 
and Chicago combined. It Is a beautiful 
place, and I should judge, is doing a 
good business, but under very heavy 
expenses. 

“In the line of summer parks, there 
is one in Paris—Luna Park, a very small 
place run by Gaston Akoun. This place 
does an enormous business. On Friday 
nights an admission price of five francs, 
81.00, is charged. Other nights the ad¬ 
mission is one franc. This is the best 
paying park in the world. J. Calvin 
Brown, I understand, has just raised 
about a million dollars to build an im¬ 
mense park in Paris. Brown also has 
a small park at Barcelona, Spain. Chet 


’’It is a grave question in my mind 
whether parks will ever pay over here. 
The weather is certainly against them. 
It tains continually all over Europe and 
anywhere north of Southern France the 
weather is cool with particularly cool 
nights. The people like the rides, but 
don’t like shows of any kind. They 
want to laugh and drink. The roulette 
wheel is a big winner. 

“Any American showman who cannot 
promote had better not come over here 
unless he is looking for merely a 
salaried job. Moreover, any promoter 
who comes here from America in the 
future must have a reputation and a 
clean one; unless he has this, he can¬ 
not do business. A few people have the 
situation well in hand and every avail¬ 
able site in Europe has been spotted. 
Gentlemen from the States who have 
the reputation of looking distinctly for 
tho best of it or for skinning people, 
will not be allowed to light. There are 
just enough Americans here now to en¬ 
able them to read the pedigree of about 
every man who was ever connected with 
the show business in the United States. 

”1 don’t know whether I shall stay 
over here or not. In only one respect 
am I disappointed in the situation and 
that respect is the weather, which is 
indeed a serious matter. To stay here 
and make money would be child’s play 
for me as openings are numerous, but 
I can do the same thing in the United 
States. 

'•The picture business runs along in 
a quiet manner. There are shows in 
every city — all of them small and none 
of them elaborate. Pay no attention to 
those reports about the elaborate Eu- 
r< ntan Picture Shows. They are, one 
and all. Jokes, here and also in Eng¬ 
land. Pathe and Gaumont practically 
control the business in Paris.

Duluth, Minn., Aug. 1.—We arrived 
here yesterday at 6 o’clock in a rain 
Storm, but before the runs were placed, 
the storm ceased and the show un¬ 
loaded and placed on the lot before 
dark. Will Godfrey, the legal adjuster 
and manager of cafe car, left for Chi¬ 
cago without notice. Fred Berner, his 
assistant, leaves tonight. Big Jim 
Dwyer, a friend of Henry Gilbertson, 
signed as legal adjuster, wanted to get 
the car, but Bob Kane, the genial little 
boy who has the cannibal savage up¬ 
town wagon, "copped” the privilege and 
had open house tonight. Horace Weuo. 
clown, joined and has some good, origi¬ 
nal stuff, his revolving ladder act be¬ 
ing particularly acceptable. Matinee 
business was big and night house a 
turn-away. This fact is exceptionally 
pleasing, as we are the fourth show in. 
and the Two Bills heavily billed for 
August 17. Weather was ideal and 
show seemed to please Immensely, the 
papers giving us excellent notices. One 
of the property wagons did a double 
somersault over a bank, but luckily 
everything was lashed on, and received 
very little damage. Prentiss sent Ebe 
Scheiman, one of his men, home tonight 
with typhoid fever. 

Superior, Wis., Aug. 2. — Short run, 
only five miles, and we follow the Camp¬ 
bell Bros, in three days. I understand 
they did nothing at all, but we had big 
business matinee, and packed them to¬ 
night in the face of rainy weather. 
Commenced to rain at 6:30 and kept up 
until after the show was out, but the 
people kept coming until every avail¬ 
able space was occupied in the big top. 
Long run tonight—145 miles — and the 
performance started at 7:65, out at 9:20, : 
and we are out of town by midnight. 
Jane Bermudy had another fall in the 
ladies' flat race, but was not hurt ser¬ 
iously Billy Baxter and wife closed. 

Chippewa Falls, Wis., Aug. 3. — We 
arrived before 7 o’clock and short haul 
made is possible to get ready on time. 
Parade was previously announced for 
1 o’clock, so we didn’t leave the lot 
until 12:30. The Two Bills are under¬ 
lined for August 12, and no doubt had 
excellent corps ahead, as their showing 
is swell. Paper the most elaborate I 
have even seen and a grand assortment. 
Harry Wills, ticket seller and real 
calliope player, has his wife, baby and 
niece with him today. He is happy as 
a six-year-old kid. His home is in Eau 
Claire, sixteen miles by street car. 
Major Burke, press agent for Two Bills, 
was a visitor. Pleased with the show. 
We are located along the bank of the 
river and just opposite the falls, from 
which the town derives its name. A 
beautiful little city. Weather fine, ex¬ 
cept some wind, but business only fair 
at both performances. Clara Ruel Mel- 
notte was thrown while riding Joe in 
the menage act this afternoon, but re¬ 
gained her feet and pluckily mounted 
again and finished the act. More nerve 

Eau Claire, Wis., Aug. 4. — Short run, 
consequently we were ready on time. 
Weather nature’s own, and cool enough 
last night to require blankets for com¬ 
fort. On parade, an automobile ran into 
a baby carriage, containing a two-year- 
old child. Broke its leg, and knocked 
the mother down, seriously injuring her. 
The driver is a town pest, and no doubt 
the law will hurt him some. The man¬ 
agement didn’t look for a very large 
turn-out, but at both shows the tent was 
packed. This is a pleasing fact, after 
the bloomer of yesterday. Loaded and 
leaving town at 12 o’clock. Bob Kane 
and Frank Gavin are running a real 
cafe car and their popularity is assured 
by the patronage they are receiving. 
They serve anything from a ham sand¬ 
wich to a broiled chicken. Go to it, 
boys, I’m with you. Had quite a little 
excitement near the pad room entrance 
just after the performance started. 
Mile. Zara was accosted by a swell 
dressed man, as she was about to enter 
for the menage number. He had seen 
her yesterday and undoubtedly became 
infatuated, and thinking perhaps all 
show women are fast, insulted her. 

“ispaw, her husband, happened 

--iding near by and grabbed the 

guy and held him while Zara used her 
riding whip to swell advantage Cut¬ 
ting the would-be smart party’s face 
until blood flowed all over him. It was 
quite exciting and an excellent lesson.. 
Guess the gentleman will not bother 
show women in the future. 

Winona, Minn., Aug. 5.—The 90-mile 
--made in good time and every- 


La Crosse, Wis., Aug. 6.—The home 
of the famous “Gund Beer” and beauti¬ 
ful weather greets us. Lay two and 
one-half miles out, but didn’t seem to 
hurt business, as they came in droves. 
Matinee started at 2:15, but people kept 
coming uptil 3. o'clock, completely fill¬ 
ing the tent. Night house almost as 
large. This closes up one of the best 
weeks we have had since leaving the 
coast. Everybody happy. On account 
of long haul, we are not loaded until 
1:30. 


CHANOE or MANAGERS 

AT OSWEGO THEATER 

Oswego, N. Y., Aug. 10.—Fred Follett, 
who had been manager of the Richard¬ 
son theater for the past three months, 
has resigned to manage the theatrical 
company being sent on tour by W. W. 
Carey. Earl Burgess, well known reper¬ 
toire manager and late of the Barnum & 
Bailey circus, succeeds Mr. Follett. It 
is said that the Richardson will switch 
to Keith vaudeville in the near future. 
Moving pictures and popularlly priced 
vaudeville furnish the entertainment at 
present 

Charles P. Gilman’s new hippodrome 
which is to play moving pictures and 

vaudeville will be ready 1*— - 

about September 1.

NEW LEAPING LADY 

IN LOS ANGELES STOCK 

Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 10.—Ivy Shep¬ 
ard, formerly of the Selig film company, 
has succeeded Neva West as leading 
lady with the Girton Stock Company. 
It is alleged that Miss West has another 
engagement which will last indefinitely; 
Roy Clement, late of the Grand Stock 
Company, is named as the “man in the 

Rosina Henley is to succeed Beth 
Taylor in the ingenue roles at the Be- 
lasco; Miss Henley is going north. 
Lewis S. Stone, of the Belasco company, 
is on a five weeks’ vacation. He will 
return September 12 to take part in a 
production of "Such a Little Queen,” 
which is being made to mark the thea¬

“ISLE or NIPPON” 

REVIVED IN MILWAUKEE 

Milwaukee, Aug. 10. — The time-hon¬ 
ored "Isle of Nippon,” American-Japa- 
nese musical comedy, was revived by 
Glen R. Crum as the opening bill at the 
Columbia theater here recently; the 
eight-day engagement was preparatory 
to the company’s going on the road, and 
the business here was very satisfactory. 

Jessie Webster, who is about to start 
rehearsals as “the girl” in "The Time, 
the Place, and the Girl.” scored tremen¬ 
dously in the revival; Miss Webster has 
been on the stage but a few years, but 
has already climbed high on the ladder 
of success. Fred Richter, late music 
hall singer, appeared in the principal 
male role. Charles Cleveland, who ap¬ 
peared in the original production, was 
again seen as the duke. Henry Rose, 
W. S. Peck, Charles E. Dixon, Bruce and 
Hal Browning, Patricia Hare, and Har¬ 
old Mann were other members of the 
cast. — Adolph. E. Reim. 

DEATH ENDS CAREER 

OP PROMINENT WESTERNER 

Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 10.—The death 
of H. C. Wyatt, which occurred July 
25, marks the ending of one of the most 
ambitious theatrical careers in the west. 
Mr. Wyatt was sixty-one years old and 
for the past twenty-five years had been 
activelv engaged in theatrical interests 
in this city. During that time he had 
managed the Grand opera house, the old 
Los Angeles (now the Orpheum) and 
the Mason opera house. 

Mr. Wyatt’s estate is valued at 350.- 
000. Miss Elsie Crossley will receive 
338.000. Miss Crossley had been Mr. 
Wyatt’s secretary for some time and it 


Moving Picture Theater in Santa Anna 

Santa Anna, Cal., Aug. 10.—The Bell 
theater, presenting independent moving 
pictures, has been opened here. The 
house seats 350 people and employs a 
five-piece orchestra. T. H. Fowler is 
the manager.— Taber. 



This is coming to you if you permit 

old “Gen. Flimco” to get a foothold in your 

box office. Don’t laugh it off. A year ago I warned every¬ 
body that there was a deal on foot to freeze outthe licensed exchanges. 
Some exchange men laughed. WHERE ARE THEY NOW? They are no longer 
owners of their exchanges, but hired help, keeping regular hours and bending the 
knee to old “Gen. Filmco.” I tell you, Mr. Exhibitor, YOU ARE THE NEXT 

TO GOl And the only thing on God’s green earth that can save you is immediate and absolute 
INDEPEND E NCE I You’d be amazed to know how fast the exhibitors are turning independent 
and how delighted they are with the fine independent films now flooding the market. As I am the 
biggest buyer of all. I’m the man for you to do business with. Youu’re doing a good business 
now. Very well. Insure it! Protect it! Don’t wait for the bootsl

SYNDICATE PICTURES 


WOULDN’T DRAW TEN CENTS 

Montgomery. Ala., Aug. 10.—The Or¬ 
pheum, offering syndicate moving pic- 
es, is back at the five-cent admis- 
1 price after an unsuccessful effort 


to make its patrons pay ten cents. It 
is said that the management thought 
their snow just twice as good as that 
offered where independent films 
shown but was forced to another be¬ 
lief by the remarkable falling off in 
attedance when the admission price was 


The Empire, showing independent pic- 


Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 10.—Both the 
Grand and the Montgomery theaters will 
be opened to the theatergoing public 
here this season. The policy of the 
respective houses has not yet been an¬ 
nounced. The Montgomery is being re¬ 
fitted after having been dark for three 
years. William Mattice is to continue 
in the management of the Grand. Max 
Mooney, formerly treasurer of this 
house, will not be connected with it 
next season, it is said. . 

The stock company at the Majestic 
theater is now in its fifteenth week and 
as attendance continues good, it is likely 
that the company’s run will reach 
twenty weeks, thus establishing a record 
for a company in this city. At the con¬ 
clusion of the stock engagement the 
Majestic will return to vaudeville.—

WOMAN ARRESTED FOR 

MOVING PICTURE SWINDLE 

Riverside, Cal., Aug. 10.—The police 
believe they have made an Important 
arrest in the capture of Mrs. Lucile 
Hayden, alleged leader of a gang of 
moving picture swindlers who have been 
operating all over the United States. 
It is said that Mrs. Hayden has used 
various names in various cities. The 
swindlers’ scheme was to sell interests 
in moving picture theaters which did 
not exist.— Taber. 


MOVING PICTURES POR 

GOOD OF ABUSED ANIMALS 

San Francisco, Aug. 10.—The local or¬ 
ganization of the Society for the Pre¬ 
vention of Cruelty to Animals is about 
to employ moving pictures for the fur¬ 
therance of its cause. It is planned to 
depict the work of the society in pic¬ 
tures showing the rushing of ambu¬ 
lances on emergency calls, the rescuing 
of injured and abused horses, the relief 
of sick and sore animals, the examina¬ 
tion of work horses, and the arrest of 
brutal offenders against the law.

Bad Year for Champions. 

The following contribution entitled 
“Bad Year for Champs,” is sent in 
for publication: 

What Jeffries got from Jack, 

So did Jennings get from Mack, 
To-wit: An awful wallop in the 
smeller, 

Which suggests the sad remark 
That our old friend, Freddie Clarke, 
Is also headed for the cyclone cel¬ 
lar. 

Battling Nelson was a wiz; 

But finally he got his— 

The German knocked him seven 
ways from Sunday; 

All the stars are on the run, 

They are dropping one by one, 

It is to weep, “Sic transit gloria 
Mundi.” L. C. D.

CBIPPEN'S ASSOCIATE 

GETS BIE POK STAGE 

Quebec. Aug. 10.—The Belle .Elmore 
murder horror reached the inevitable 
commercial stage a few days ago when 
Ethel Leneve received a telegram from 
a New York theatrical manager offering 
her $1,000 a week for an Indefinite en¬ 
gagement. to begin immediately upon 
her release from prison in the event 
of her being set free. When the tele- 

ciate of Dr. Crippen tore it up in a rage. 

The offer was from a manager who 
plans to produce a melodrama founded 


Exhibitors! 

You Need Us! 
We Need You! 

Have you a profitable theatre? Do you want to keep it yourself? 
Then why patronize those who would destroy you ? That is just what 
you are doing when you take licensed servic;. 

The $2.00 a week royalty has grown into an immense jackpot which is now 
available for the absorption of theatres. Add to that the amounts paid for film 
service and it must be plain that you are contributing to the support of an 
institution which is preparing to devour you. 

Awake to a realization! Would you have believed a year ago that 
proprietors of licensed exchanges would have their business taken away and 
that they would become mere employes ? 

How would you relish the idea of becoming manager of your theatre, 
hired from week to week, or to see the trust construct a competing theatre 
next door to you ? 

Why not be free and independent? If you will look at the grand 
program of 20 reels we are releasing weekly it will not take you long 
to make your decision. 

Get ready for the fall business by arranging for Independent service. 
DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LIGHTNING STRIKES ! THE DANGER 
IS IMMINENT. Every week adds to the big fund. Don't contribute 
another week. 

We have reached the point where we can give you as good film as the 
trust. With your added support we will pass them in quality and number 
of releases weekly. The money you spend with us will come back to roost. 

YOU NEED US! WE NEED YOU!
