CONEY ISLAND HOLOCAUST 



Dreamland Enclosure Entirely 
That Spread to Other Conces 
Surf Avenue— Luna Park 
of Bravery Among 



New York. iUr SB (Special to The BUlboanl). 
— Staartly after two o'clock tbU mofnlss. one of 
tb« wateluneD at Dreamland, Cone; Island. 
wliUe maUnc bla roimd*. dlacOTercd a blaxe In 
the ride known aa Bell Gate. Immediately be 
MDt In an alarm, then nuhed thraacb the re- 
MTt, aroiulDc about two boodred and orty 
helper., animal trslaers asd other, employed at 
the park, who were faat aaleep. A few mlsntes 
after tbe Brat alarm bad been aonnded. Capuln 
KoMn a an arrtwd with tbe ensine company from 
West Etgbtb street, baldly > block away. He 
aaw at once tbal bla amall force would be totally 

madeqoate to cope with the Oamea aad tamed 
Is two more alarma, one after another, and a 
few minotes later aent a fonrth. wbicb bronsbt 
apparatot from aa far away as the Ptoapect 
Park dUtrlct. 

Ttw flte swept all four aides of the resort, 
spread along Surf aTenue, sweeping: everytblns 
In Its path. The Bremen encountered many dlf- 
llcnltles, tbelr actlTitles being restrained beeaose 
Of lack of water, the flgbt against wild beasts, 
and Interfered with by a crowd of orer ooe 

• hundred thousand people. 

: Fbr a time, after th« llrst outbreak of the 
'Barnes, the whole tsland seemed doomed. A 
atfnl shifting wind drore tbe ttre first one way 
and 4hen the other. Lack of water presrare 
necessitated tbe scattering of the Bre flEhtlog 
force wbere tbe blazes were liveliest, and the 
constant abiftlng of engines and bow lines to 
meet new polnta of the Bame's attack, made 
concentration of ellort Impassible. 

After four boars of tbe hardeat kind of work 
by practically all tbe flre-flgbtlng apparatus witb- 
la striking dIsUnce of the tslsnd. assisted by 
tbe prlTste departmenu of Luna Park and Oresm- 
land, which bare been kept organised since they 
fare the Fire and Flames Show, they finally got 
the flames under eootiol. 

Dreamland bad been closed to the public about 
two bonis, when James Ullla. a nlgbt watch- 
nan. discoTered the blaae In Bell Gate, a boat 
ride, which is ^ost inside tbe rntraoco of Iho 
park OQ the rl^t. Quickly the fire enrdoped i 
the aurroaBdlng buildings, which. Just coated i 
with a freidi paint, burned like ■ train of , 
powder. i 

Tie firemen led tbelr hose thrangh the only : 
two entrnnces from tbe front Into Dreamland. ' 
One entrance Is tbrougb tbe spectacle Crestlon ', 
on tbe north, and the other between Steuben- ; 
bord's iiml Strattoo's hotela on the south. 

So rapidly did tbe fiamos shoot around, that I 
the Srenien were driTen out of what later be- I 
came a real circle of fire. Tbey bad to content j 
themseires wltb working from tbe oDtslde. To i 
offset the ; disadrsntage of their not being able i 



to get to tbe beacta 
-.front of Dreamland or 
any of tbe other 
threatened places

boiti, Zophar Min».

telephone alarm from 
Captain Boblnson.

much toward ehecMng 
the flames further In- 
shore, 

-When Doeamland'had 
been nearly buined out 
a hilsk wind spiang 
up suddenly from tbe 
northeast, driving the 
sparica. along tbe av- 
enue, and in a few 
moments, htmdreds of 
small fires had started 
and soon expanded. 
Proprietors and em- 
ployees of threatened 
buildings fought vali- 
antly to save their 
property. 

In the meantime, tbe 
ftfilm.iq Id the old 




^ntb side of Surf avenue; showing region covered by the llames. 



Bostock arena, now owned by Colonel Fenrl, 
were howling In terror. Some of the smaller 
and less dangerooa .nlm.!. wer« driven Into- 
small traveling cages or roped and boond and 
wero carried to nearby barrooms, hotels of erea 
private booses back of tbe Imperiled district. 

Captain Bonavlta having been Inatmmental In 
cescnlng muiy of - the cat animals, attempted to- 
save the life of a yotmg pet elephant, wblcb.. 
knelt with Its head in a comer aad refused to^ 
move. Captain Bonavlta was so intent opoa 
bis vTOck of rescue that he had to be peisnaded.': 
to leave the bnmlnj; building. 

Bonavlta armed hlmaelf with a long stalt and 
went into the lion's cage and drove it out Into- : 
a smaller cage wfaltib bad been placed on rt^ers. 
Tbe Uon vrent quietly enatigh nntU It caught 
sight of the fire. Then it dnsbed back Into tha 
cage and refused -to be coaxed or forced out^ 
Only after bla' own life .was endangered did 
Bonavlta leave and regretfully consented that 
his pet be shot. 

A group of policemen and helpers had in this 
interval killed two big tigers and six otlier 
Hons. One lion, caned Sultan, escaped from 
tbe men and dashed down Stnf Avenue, throwtnr 
the Ioofcers-<m Into a panlic ' After gallo^ag 
along the aventie for aboot two blocks. Siutwi 
crawled into &o tower of the Bocky Boad to-- 
Dublin ride, policemen following the beast and , : 
riddling bim with bulleta. Then one of the men. ' 
seelne that the beast was taelpleas. got a flrc' 
axe and drove the sharpened end Into Sultan's - 
sknll. 

One of tbe pc^cemen who was keeping' back 
the crowds bad drawn his gun when Stxltan 
dashed by. He still had It In his hand: when 
a big spotted leopard leaped out of n- blasUur 
window and landed right at hlB feet. One alMic 
from Ms gun pierced the animal's bmln and It . 
died Instantly. 

While the animals were escaping, a bear eob - 
was released from the animal show and ran 
out into Surf Avenue, heading toward the crowd. 
A young man who had an auto standing near the 
jrate of Lona Park grabbed it and poshed it Into 
tbe tonnean and rode off. 

One of the many bnildings destroyed was the 
incubator show. In which were confined 6 babies. 
A policemaa and a fireman dashed throngh tha - 
names and smoke and rescued 'three of the in- 
fants, the other three -were suffocated. 

At a few minutes past^'three the great Dream- 
land tower wrhliai had'homed briskly fell wltb a 
crash. - .... - ■

GONEY ISLAND HOLOCAUST 



Dreamland Enclosure Entirely 
That Spread to Other Conces 
Surf Avenue— Luna Park 
of Bravery Among 



Ncw'Tofk. May 28 (Special to The BlUboud). 
— Sbertly after two o'doek tbU mornlns, ooe of 
ttie watciunen at Dreandand, Cooe; laland, 
whtls maklBs his toxaC*, dlwoTered a blaae la 
the ride known aa Hrll Gate. Immediately he 
•ent In an alarm, then roshed through the re- 
■art, arousing abont two bnndred and fifty 
helpers, animal trainers and othera enptoyed at 
the park, who were fast aaleep. A few mlsotes 
after the flrst alarm had been soimded. Captain 
Boblnson arrived with the engine company from 
West Eighth street, hardly a block away. He 
saw at once that his small force would bo totally 
Inideauate to cope wltk the flamei aad turned 
la two more alarms, one after another, and a 
few minutes later sent a foortb, which bronght 
apparatus from as far away as the Prospect 
Park district. 

The Ore swept all fonr aides of the resort, 
spread along Surf aTenne, aweeplog everything 
In Its path. The firemen encountered many dlf- 
Acnltles, their setlvitles being restrained beeaose 
of lack of water, the flgfat agalaat wild beaats. 
and interfered with by a crowd ol over one 
hundred thooaand people. 

For a time, after the flnt ovtbicak of tbe 
Barnes, the whole Island seemed doomed. A 
fltfnl shifting wind drove tbe Are flrst one way 
and ^hen the other. Ijick of water pressnre 
necessitated the scattering of the fire fighting 
force where tbe blazes were liveliest, and the 
constant shifting of engines and hose lines to 
meet new points of tbe flame's attack, made 
concentration of effort Impossible. 

After fonr hours of tbe hardest kind of work 
by practically ail tbe Ort^-figbtlng apparatus wlth- 
ia striking distance of the Island, assisted by 
the private departments of Luna Park and Dream- 
land, which have been kept organized since they 
gave the Fire and Flames Show, they Onally got 
the flames under control. 

Dreamland had been closed to the pablle abont 
two hours, when James UUIs, a night watcb- 
msn. discovered the blase In Hell Gate, a boat 
ride, which Is just insliip tbe entrance of tlii- 
park on the rlgbt. Quickly the fire enveloped 
tbe snrroundins buildings, which. Just coated 
with a fresh paint, burned like a train of 
powder. 

The firemen led their hose through the only 
two entrances from the front Into Dreamland. 
One entrance Is through tbe spectacle Creation 
on tbe nortb, and tbe other between Steubcn- 
bord's and Stratton'a hotels on the south. 

So rapidly did tbe flames shoot around, that 
tbe firemen were driven out of what later be- 
came a real circle of fire. They bad to content 
ttaeuwlvei With working from tbe outside. To 
offset tbe; dissdvantage of their not being able 



to get to the beach 
front of Dreamland or 
any of tbe other 
threatened places 
where the three flre- 
boata, Zopbar MIUs, 
New YoAei an& Beth 
I.OW, wtdch steamed 
up at top speed on a 
telepboAe alarm from 
Captain Boblnson. 

These, tmaffected by 
the low water pres- 
snre, aa they pumped 
the water right out of 
tbe ocean, saved part 
of the cbntee and pier, 
and also flooded other 
bondings on the water 
front. . Even tbelr

the fire. 



were onabis to do 
much toward checking 
the flames farther In- 
shore. 

-When Dreamland had 
been nearly burned out 
a brisk wind sprang 
up suddenly from tbe 
northeast, driving the 
sparks along tbe av- 
enue, and in a few 
moments, hundreds of 
small fires bad started 
and Boon expanded. 
Proprietors and em- 
ployees of threatened 
bnlldbigs fonght vali- 
antly to save their 
prop^sty. 

In the meantime, tbe 
animals In tbe old 




South side of Surf avenue, showing region covered by the flames. 



Bostock arena, now owned by Colonel Ferarl, 
were howling In terror. Some of the smaller 
and less dangeroos animals were driven Into- 
small traveling cages or raped and booBd and 
were carried to nearby barrooms, hotels or «va» ; 
private booses back of the imperiled districts 

Captain Bonavlta having been Instmniental in. 
lescmng many ot'^tho cat animals, attempted te- ; 
save the life of a Toomt pet depbant. which: 
knelt with its Iiead m a eomer aad refnaed to - 
move. Captain Bonavlta was so intent up<» - 
his work of rescne that be had to he persuaded ' 
to leave the bumiuK building. 

Bonavlta armed himself with a long staff and 
went Into the lion's cage and drove It ont into 
a smaller cage which had been placed on rdUera. 
The lias went quietly enough nntll it caught 
sight of the fire. Then it dashed back into tha 
cage and refused to be coaxed or forced oat. 
Only after big own life was endangeicd did 
Bonavlta leave and regretfully consented tbat 
bis pet be shot. 

A group of policemen and helpers had in this 
Interval killed two big tigeis and alz otber 
lions. One lion, called Saltan, escaped troqi 
the men^and dashed down Snrf Avenue, tttrowlng- 
the lookers-on into a panic. ' After galloping 
along the avenoe for aboot two blocks. Stdtan 
crawled into tbe tower of the Bocky Boad t» 
Dnblln ride, policemen foUowloic tbe beast and; 
riddllngTblm with ballets. Then one of the men. 
seeing tbat the beast was helpless, got a Are 
axe and drove the sharpened end Into Sultan's 
stnll. 

One of the policemen who was keeping back 
tbe crowds bad drawn his gun when Saltan 
dashed by. He SUII had it In hia hand wben 
a big spotted leopard leaped out , of a ^ biasing - 
window and landed right at his feet. One aboc 
from his gun pierced the animal's brain and it 
died Instantly. 

Wblle the animals were - escaping, a bear cnb 
was released from tbe animal show and ran 
out Into Surf Avenue, heading toward the crowd. 
A young man who had an auto standing near the 
irate of Luna Park grabbed It and pasbed It into 
the tonnean and rode off. 

One of the many buildlnES destroyed was the 
Incubator show. In which were oonflned 6 babies. 
A policeman and a fireman dasbed through the 
flames and smoke and rescued > three of the in- 
fants, the otber three were anSocated. 

At a few minutes past-three the great Dream- 
land tower which baa-homed briskly fell witli a 
crash.

"Take 10 or 12r'eood-loofcIng ushers between 
20 and 23 years. -Wouid yon want any better 
material for starting a panic? At the first 
scare they -would scream, and before the 
scream had died away they would be mfhlnr- 
to the exits, dlmbine over seats or over anybody 
that happened to get In their way. 

"Their fright would be all that would be nec- 
essaiy to start everyone In the audience fighting

What In tuore complained of than anjrtUgi 
else la that contractors who are putting vp 
buildings, laying pavements and doing sewen 
work and other things in' connection with tbi 
improvements going on, compel their men to 
labor on Sunday In order to complete their cgn- 
tracts on time. 

Tbe chief opposition to tbe bill has come traa 
the owners ot tbe many moTlng-pIcture showi 
In Washington. If the Johnston bill Is passed 
these sbows will bare to close on Sunduy iinlen 
the police authorities of Washington were to bt 
lenient In enforcing the law. The movlni. 
picture show owners claim that SS,00O men, 
women and children attend these exhibltioas «s 
Sundays. It would also result, they claim, Ui 
the shutting up of nearly 70 per cent ot tht 
shows, for without the Sunday business tber 
would not. be able to {un their places. 

In the last Congress a . similar liill was te, 
ported favorably and passed by the Senate, bat 
It was never acted n|>6a one way or the other 
by the House Committee on the District of Co- 
lombia. 

The preachers ot Washington, on the con. 
trary, in what they have had to say in advocacj 
of the Johnston Bill, regard the dosing of the 
shows as one ot the best tbings that could bt 
accompUsbed froin the moral and rellgloos 
standpoint.

Therapeutic Thea- 
tres in Germany 



Berlin. May 20.— TberapenUe theatres, the lat- 
est phase of the nsture cure In Germany. Tbe 
theory Is that acting and reciting are cures for 
mental and neirons dlseaiei. An Aoitrlan doc- 
tor named Lack professes to liaTe cured mw 
persons by forcing them to act before audi- 
ences af their friends in the open air. 

The explanation given is that acting takes 
tbe pstieuts out ot themselves, and thus pre- 
vents them from thinking of their own maladies. 
All over the empire are being founded theatrical 
organizations to produce plays in the open air, 
and during the coming summer nature perform- 
ances will be given more or less regularly near 
every large town. 

At Potsdam the municipality Is leading tbe 
movement, and It proposes to bniid an openalr 
stage in a pletnrraqne part ot a nelghhorlng 
forest. The movemeot Is nnder the patroDage 
of the Princess Eltel Friedrlcb, one of iHa 
Kaiser's dangbters-ln-Isws, who is an amatenr 
actress.

Kiss Waltz 

Scores in Boston 



Bostoo. Uass.. Jfay 25 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — The Boston pnbllc Is now leaving tbe 
privilege of enjoying another Viennese opera. 
The Kiss Waltz, wbicb is bt the Shnbeft for an 
indefinite stay- . This production haa been pre- 
pared by the Shnberts- for a summer mn In New 
York City. The operetta was originally, played 
in Vienna for two seasons, nnder -the name of 
Love Waltz, and threatens to rival in popular. 
.Ity Tbe Chocolate Soldier and The Merry Widow. 
The cast Is exceptionally capable, with such 
principals as Eve Davenport, Charles Blgelow, 
Vsn Bensslaer Wheeler. Maude Lambert, Elsa 
R.van. Edith t Bradford. .Chsrles Angelo, Edgar 
Atchison < Ely. George Patmcefote. Lew Ftuler- 
ton, Oscar Schwartz. Geo. Howardt Phtl Bamll- 
toD and ,01sa Hempstone. 

Tbe score was composed :by>C. H. Zlehrer, lAo 
also wrote Mile.' Mischief. Tlie Amerlean tat^ 
slon has been made by Edgar Smith, and tlia 
lyrics are by Matt Woodward. 

Tbe Opening scene is at Hotel Elektra In the 
Riviera, and the setting la very pleasing: AH 
tbe music is of a very high standard, bnt the 
Kiss Walts dnet by Hiss Lambert and ."lb. 
Wheeler Is by far the most catchy and. mad* 
the binmt kit with the andiences. The iook; 
Ta-ta Uttle Girl, waa elaborately presented aod; 
was indeed pleasing. The second act is not 
to the standard of the first, bnt there are several 
very catchy numbers. Ttie Hoop ntimber and the- 
Pan Sonir are especially deserving of mention. 
Tbe hnmor presented in this act by Leopold 
Fnhrlnger and Kathi. bis wife, is coarse and not 
In keeping with tbe standard of the remainder 
of tbe play. Tbe production has been well nat- 
ronixed since its opening here on .Saturday, 
May 20, in spite of the extremely hot weather. 
This slone speaks well for the m«Its of tb^ 
play. B. T. BAHST. :

the piece made ratber a fair sbowing last eve-

itself as one of the most beantlfnlly aet and

O. L. Ball of the Journal: "The comic featurrs 
of Mile. Rosita are mostly In the keeping or 
Walter Jones. The piece Is not rich In fun. but 
Jones manages to make himself amusing. Some 
of the comedy not attached to the part played 
by Jones falls to George M. Grabam. In straight 
comedy <3raham is one of the most delightful 
young actors in this country. May Boley is the 
leading comic actress. She gives, with success, 
a bit ot Boley and a hit ot Emma Janvier, whom 
she has replaced In the comic opera."

ing you again — again from Madrid. Onr dreams 
of bobble skirts and harem skirts, annd wonder- 
fully new and fantastic creations in headwear. 
of the old capitals of Spain, of the ancient es- 
thedrals, and even of tbe bull flgtats, the cafes, 
and the gardens and bonlevards of this beantifnl 
cosmopolitan city, all were forgotten In the ex- 
citement of Friday last. 

On ninrsday evening, Their Majestys. tne 
King and Queen of Spain, and Court, again 
graced and hoiKyred our entertainment with tbeir 

Sreaence at the Clrco Parish — for tbe third time 
urlng the present Ttait of The Great Raymond 
to Madrid — and so dellgbted witb Mr. Raymond's 
new program were the royal party that King 
Alfonso determined to make onr cloier acqnalnt- 
ance, and perhaps, if possible, explore the mys- 
tic leslms of magic. On Friday morning we re- 
ceived a royal command to appear at the royal 
palace on Sunday evening at 9:30. 

After onr day show at tbe Clrco PacUh — 
matinees, like eTerrtblnk else In Spila. are 
very latp affatra — King Alfonso 'my Smdl^ and 
thonghtftillr sent four of Us favorite aatomo-

The Final Chapter in the Tragic Death of LaFayette- 
A Few Facts About the Great Illusionist 
Not Generally Known 



Xhe tngic Hie at tlw Ealabmxb mace Tbea- 
tM^ cnlmlnatlDK In tlie deatit of the Great La- 
fayette. came as a tetrlllc abock to ereryone. 
niiat til* death xoll would haTe been It by any 
:ebanea tile inm safety curtain bad not acted 
vtlgbt or tbere had been more of a panic amons 
tbe audience, one sbndden to tblak. 

Th» falUns of a paper lantern aied by La- 
fiiyette Id his act on a box of canvas was the 
eaoae of the outbreak. Instantly tbe canvas 
eansht allgbt and went np like tinder, getting 
lira to tbe scenery on the spot. Fortunately tbe 
■ttce manager noticed tbe aame Immediately 
aa paUed down tbe lever operatlos the Iron 
cartam. Basteninc to the front he shonted to 
the eondactor "The King" and the otehestra 
■truck np the National Anthem. The audience, 
thlnklnv it meant tbe end of tbe performance, 
nae to tbelr feet and turned towards the 
ezlta. In another moment tbe bouse waa full 
of imoke bat luckily the emergency arrange- 
ment* acted perfectly, and In leis tban two 
Olinntes . they were all onttide. Only In tbe 
gailrty was there tbe semblance of a rush and 
KXtvm at women In dlBtress ranjr tbronicli the 
Ueatre. One woman stumbled and fell and the 
crowd pressed on. The men In ber vicinity, 
towerer, managed to raise her and she was 
eaided out fainting. A moment later the place 
wu empty. 

Behlnrt the curtain the scene was an awfal 
«M. While the actrestes In their stage eoa- 
tama were straggling for the street tbe men 
were lljditlns madly to overcome the flames. 
Bat they never had a chance.- Ten minutes 
after the fire broke out tbe stage and dressing 
rooms were a wreck of stone work,; Iran rods 
' and debria. 

Mo one. of conise, knows, but It seems 
piobable that all the deaths occurred throngh 
the artists trying to save their properttes. 
Three of them, Indndlng a tiny girl of IT. who. 
eadoied In a- beaa'a skin, played the part of a 
bear and _waS' a huge tavorite, were 



Ing the last six or leven years It Is estimated 
that be was making a net $200,000 a year. A 
man of extraordinarily dominating character, be 
made numerous, enemies, but on the other hand 
be bad hosts of friends. On tbe whole he was 
popular In the prof esslon and his death leaves a 
great blank In bis own particular line. 

As I have already written, tbe Kt<>at commaml 
performance with the Kln^ present was to have 
been given at tbe Edinburgh Palace. Wbetber 
It wiU now be possible to go on with tbe ar- 
rangements is exceedingly doubtful. As. huw- 
ever, the front of tbe bouse Is very iitiii- 
injured the management hope that by wurki 
night and day the palace will be ready for thf 
show to take place on the date fixed. The thea- 
tre waa the first of the great chain that baa 



THE W EEK IN PARIS 

Mile. Trouhanova, a Russian Dancer, New to 
Creates a Sensation at Chatelet — Critics and 
Managers at Loggerheads 



Paris^ 



Alme des Femmes (Loved by the Ladles) is 
the title of a new three-act farce, by Maurice 
Hennequin and Georges Mlchell. which bad its 

?remiere at tbe Palals-Boyal Theatre this week, 
erbaps a less literal translation of tbe title and 
tbe sobstltntton of an Inglisb equivalent would 
bring us nearer sn understanding of what tbe 
piece Is really about: towit — "Tbe Lady KlUer." 

A dressmaking establishment, Pagevln. Plan- 
tnrel and Company, Is on the ragged edge of 
failure. La Pacaudiere. a sleeping partner, bow- 
ever, sees one way out of tbe difficulty. A 
rival house has in its employ a man named 
Blaise Pessac. a regnlar ladykiller, a real 
i "divil amongst th' ladles." If this man could 
j be persuaded to loin tbe Pagevln, Flantorel 
I Company, all would he wen, (or be has already 



. dead In their dtesiIng-coomB. One of tbe 
*letlma was a boy midget of 14, who only 
Jatawd the company a fortnight ago. Ttib. others 
included tbe trombone player and the 'idonble 
baaa playec of Lafayette's orchestra, and his 
big: drummer and colored stage flyman. 

Lafayette got ' out of tbe theatre at first. 
lafCIy and then be remembered bis hone had 
been -left behind. "I'H have to go in and get 
nx horse,** were the last words be was beard 
to say. and with that he dived back Into tbe 
bomlns building. Some of the workers say that 
When he got In he found that his performing 
lion, to which be was greatly attacbed, had gone 
oad and was blacking the exit from tbe stage. 
They think that he tackled tbe brute, endeavor- 
ing to get it away and In doing so lost his 
life. " 

It la a enrlona coineldenee that only a few 
daya ago Lafayette lost bis TCnneaiuie bound 
"Beanty," to which be was passionately de- 
voted. Tbe animal was, X believe, his eblaf In- 
terest fat life. He had made for It a gold 
collar, stndded with diamonds, and Inscribed 
on the c<fllar were tbe signatures of tbe pro- 
prietors of each of tbe theatres at which be 
had. fulfilled engagements. He bad a magal- 
Scent antomahile with, a bed In It ■pedally con- 
■tmeted for tbe dog and a room m bla bouse 
fnmlshed according to bis own peeollar notions, 
utlndy reserved for it. Over tbe door of the 
Jioue by the way. ■mm a notice intended for 
(nests. It read: "Yon may eat nty food, yon 
may drink my wise, yon may makP nie of my 
aervants, yan may rmoke my cigars, hnt you 
must respect my dog." Only the day before 
tbe fire be gave orders for the building of an 
elaborate vanlt In which the dog was to be 
burled in the cemetery at Edinburgh and tbe 
funeral was to take place the day after the ac- 
cident occurred. So terribly cutnp was tbe show- 
man by the IcAS of thin dog that be had told 
the manager of the theatre that "His mascot 
liad gme; It woidd be sure to bring him bad 
lock." 

Lafayette was easily the finest showman in 
Great Britain. Ever since be came to London 
In 1900 from Chicago and flooded the town with 
bis enormous three-color posterR. bis wonderfnl 

' slx-tnms-in-one-ahow has been an extraordinary 
snccesB. Bis whirlwind performance usually 
covered half tbe bill and lasted at least an 
hour and a half. His dn>sses were gorgeona and 
his scenery — all of whieb he made himself — 
magnificent, and his qnlrk-rbange in both was 
eqrmlly marvelous. He usnally appearp.d firat as 
a Chinese conjurer and ninsioniot and gave a 
remarkably yclever and baffllnfr shnw. Then be 
wonld; do Ulnalous In the Goldin line. One of 
tbe: best was the bnlldine no of a nude ststue 

> dC a dcssd with lumns nf clay, which he took 
-:ffom a 'table and smoetbPd Into position. As 

^ soon as -he bad completed it. fonuralns sponted 
up from!, tbe stage and flowers budded aronnd 
It. Then suddenly the apparent day and a 
young girl of tbe pose plastiqne order had ap- 
peared in Its place. 

Twentv seconds later the stare was occupied 
with his '*Trave8ty" band of 40 performers. 

. with Lafayetti> impersonating Sonsa and many 
other famous conductors. 

In The Lion's Bride act. which nsnaliy came 
last, a great Iran barred cage appeared on tbe 
Stage with a real lion roaring insUe. In tbe 
•cotirse of tbe storv the bride waa caged vrith 
the lion. Lafayette as the Ethiopian hero In 
:tlger skin^. made play to spring Into the cage 
to rescue his bride. He forced his wsy In. bnt 
the lion nsed to siving on to the girl, snd the 
.andlence was in tbe nidit of cold shivers when 

'' the lion' reared Itself upon Its bind paws; Its 

?head:fdl aside and Lafayette lilmadf was le- 

..'.-raled..' ■ ■ — ■ 

Bat vrftfa all bis genlns fnr Illnsion and stage 
craft It was as a showman that the man really 
shone. Many men were .donbtless as capable 
ot prodnelng the show bnt probably no one conid 
bave got away with it lo the way be did. Pnr

sprung np all over the country onder tbe syndi- 
cate known as the Mobs Empires, and has an 
nnlocky history for tires. Two other theatres 
that formerly stood on the site were both burned 
to the groimd. f 

Spirited acting and melodlooa music are a 
combination that should carry most comic operas 
to success and Barfm Trenck. the new piece at 
the Whitney— late the Strand— Theatre, has 
plenty of both. And added to these the piece 
has 8 first rate story attached. The Baron 
carries on a species of glorified brigandage in 
tbe laud over 'wbicb bp bas swajr aad creatcB 

such a stir by his behaviour that at last the 
Empress determines to put a stop to It. Sbi 
orders Trenck before ber and bids lilm marry 
and settle down resoectably witbin 2t -fluys. 
In the approved manner of tbe accompllsliocl 
hero of romance the Baron rescues bis wife- to- 
be from tbe colls of a gang of brlganils. bnt tbi' 
Countess Lydla Is a lady of spirit and at first 
will have none of bis love-making. In the 
end be carries her off to marry her, bnt not un-

sue for tbe lady's hand on Ijended bnet* does stit- 
consent to marry him. 

Walter Hyde, tbe yonng English tenor who 
made such a success at Covent Garden, is the 
bold and dashing baron, and a monstrous fine 
figure be makes, in bis decorative scarlet an 
white and gold uniforms. Never before bas his 
magnificent voice been beard to such advantagf'.

Pessac plays bavoc with tbe hearts ot all these 
ladies without neglectinK the customers. In 
tbe end all arranges Itself right, that li. ill right 
but for La Pacaudiere. Pessac marries the sten- 
ographer, cutting out bis boss. They all get 
rich and the process makes a mighty funny

ODEOK'S PIECE 

! After the last act «t a new piece entlAed, 
I L'Apotre, (The Apostle) by Paql Hyclnthe Loy- 
son, at the Odeon, the anther was literally 
dragged out from a comer, where he bad bidden 
himself and thrust upon the stage amid a 
tremendous din of hand61applng. abootlng and 
other nolspg, Tbe andlenge was one of the 
most enttaoslastic I bdve ever seen, Loyion's 
father was- excommnnlcatsd aiwnt forty years 
ago and waji at the time regarded as some- 
thing ot a hero am] a maityr. HI« aon fell 
heir to some ot bis father's popularity and 
the ovation given him at the premiere of bis 
play partook of a donblo nature, tielag a sign 
« admiration for him personally and profcHloD- 

£'Anotre Is a play very much like Le tVlbune. 
teccBtly produced at the TaiidcvIIlF and which 



Is by Paul Bourget. Billboard readers 
remember that this play deals with a cablnpi 
member whose son is guilty of a grave oSensr 
The play at tbe Odeon bas tbe same gesenV

A play which might have had a lung run anii;

The plot' Is BO singularly like that of Le

M. Sllvalo. of the Comedle-Francslse, plijed 
tbe father. He was excellent, of course. BIi 
wife, Mme. Louise Silvaln, was also one of tbr 
principals in tbe cast. Tbe play bas bigh liter 
ary qualiflcatlons as well as dramatic sltuitioBi. 

AHISTOPHAXE'S COMEDY. 
Two very interesting plays were prodDced 
at tbe Theatre de I'Oenvre this week, Oct 
of tbsm was Le Medlcln de CsmpeslDa (The 
Country Doctor), which tells tbe sad stny of 
a pbyaiclBO who leavea bis own dring rati} 
to go to wait on the sick child of another 
man. This Is by Henry . Boideana and E. Dtn 
erie. 

A modern version of Arlstophane's comedy. 
Lea Oiseaux (Tbe Birds), wsa given. U 
Noalere, s French writer, has added consldrr 
able spice in Mie way ot sareasm, and ilto 
getber the work is decidedly worth seclog. 
Tbe Birds deals with the attempt of two cltl- 
lens of Athens to found a new city conposet! 
of tbe feathery tribe. Tbe peewit owl, dock, 
eagle and 'several other birda were cleverl; 
introduced ae characters, while the crmae (la 
grue) naturally played a very Impt^tant part, 
this being a French plsy. "Une grue," In 
French, Is a term generall,v applied to ironnc 
ot the demi-monde. This adda a certain vena 
to tbe cnmetfy which gallic comedies most har« 
to sacceed. 

QBANO GblONOI.. 
A new bill bas gone on at tbe Graad Onji; 
nol. some of the Bombvas being - decidedly orlg 
Inal. 

La Lnmlere Ronge (Tbe Red LiRtat) It thr 
story of a yonng man whose sweetheart dlci- 
He is tremendonsly broken op, ot course; br

A WAR TIME WOOIHe. Tbanbouser. Military 
Drama. Released May 30. Full length. 
A very thick and a very good plot Is em- 
bodied In this film, bat some of tbe scenes are 
so poorly put on and In some places ao over- 
done with borse-play, tbat it becomes ridiculous. 
fChe setting Is fairly good and the photograpliy 
well up to the average. An American army 
officer Is shot daring tbe SpuMbrAmerlcan war, 
and asks bis daughter to avenge bis death. 
She enters the Spanish army aa a spy for them, 
and while moving among the Americans, baa one 
of them, a young lieutenant, whom she sd- 
mlres, taken captive. Wien be Is wltbln the 
Spanish headquarters, she releases blm, and he 
kills several of tbe Spanish soldiers. She smn- 
mons the American soldiers, and a very amusing 
battle ensues. After It Is over, the lieutenant 
Is Bd grateful ta her for having released blm and 
summoned aid, that her wooing la evidently 
well started. 

THE BAQEBRirSH FHSEHOLOGIBT, Ameri-

The comedy In tbIs film Is very good, not

family, and reads the cbaracter ot four mem- 
bers. Father la an orator, mother a dancer, son 
a musician, and daughter a great alnger. Each 
tries to develop his talent, and many amusing

In this film we have one of tbe tiest Illus-

the most desired qnsllty In a photoplay, and 
since this close view Is one of the beat waya of 
making a plot clear. It Is surprising that It Is 
ao often overlooked. Tlie story Is enly a fair 
•ne, but It la admirably carried ont and we nave 
In the Cow the one sincere character which Is 
so necessary to a comedy altuatlan. Tbe story 
deale with Jones' sttempt to keep a cow and

Another very amtlsing comedy which goes to

that so few boxing matebes and prixe fliAts are

pleasing change frmn tbe overworked, sickly,

Miss Nobody from Stariand will end a most 
•nccessful season at Kaiamaxoo. Mich., on May 
SO. There has been no change in the cast since 
opening, and nnleas there ahoald be something 
happening shortly Managn Charles Ilonaghne 
expects to end tiie season with exactly the same 
crowd of players with which be started out. 

When the show appeared at Cbarieeton. W. Ta.. 
one n]«ht laat week. Manager Donaghue stated 
tlrat the efmpany had been oat for tliirty-eigbt 
weeks and in that long time bid (miy laid oiT 
live days, incladiox Sundays. It takes great 
eare to lay out a season's route without losing 
more Sundays than this. Miss Nobody from 
Stariand bad a Sunday off at Grand Fwka, N. 
D.. coming ont of Winaipee. and rested on Snn- 
dsy at Jamestown. N. Y., Marietta and Yonngs- 
town, Ohio. 

These fonr days liad not been booked. The 
fifth dste lost was at New Philadelphia. Ohiow 
week t>efOre last. This was a Jump fiom .Al- 
liance to New Philadelphia. Ohio: and owing 
to a wreclc the baggage car did not get In nntll 
nearly midnight and ^tanager Bowvra was forced 
to dismiss a crowded house. It was tbe last 
show of tbe season at New Philsdelphia, and tbe 
house management was as much disappointed as 
the show people. 

Olive Tail Is f^atnrrd In tbe show, bnt has 
rather a thankless part. Bertee Beanmont has 
a rale whirh gains more sympathy from the 
audience and one In which she appears to advan- 
«age. The leading male mles fall tn Otto Koer- 
ner. Lawrence Comer and Ralph Riggs. Mr. 
Knerner Is particularly happily east. 

Miss Nobody from .Stariand opens again on 
Jnly 12. and reliearsals liegin Jtily 1. which win 
be a sinrt layoff for those players re^engtqtcd.

TRUE STORIES OF PEOPLE YOU 
KNOW— OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN. 

By BO B^I OHATT 

As the time apprmcbes when the extraordin- 
ary spectacle of an American impresario dedi- 
cating an opera bonse in London is to be re- 
Teaied. interest in the man and the enterprise 
becomes greater, and the attentlOD of the entire 
. amoaeanent world is now directed toward that 
wlsaid of entzeprenenzs, Oscar Hammersteln. 
for who else in. all the world would bSTe the 
oonrase — and the genios — requisite to snrmoont 
the endless obstacles which 'must necessatUy 
confront the Indlvidnal who has the dating to 
undertake so herculean 8 task as that whlclL con> 
atitntes the nnpteeedented enterprise to be In- 
angnrated In the Bdtlah, metropolis in November 
next. . ■ 

,Who l a Osc ar HipnmerBtdn7 He Is the product 
of ft eenti^y in which all great achierements are 
- recorded. He came Into theatredom two decades 
ago tlirongh sheer love of tne musical and dra- 
matic arts. He ,1iad prospered tbroagh his 
patents after a hercolean straggle. Money came 
easy when It did begin to come his way. He 
lived with his family in the upper part of 
New York known as Harlem, a district wlileh 
was wltlioat & theatre of a^ty claas nntiS he 
bout the beantlfnl Harlem Opera House at a 
cost of $290,000. This was at the time regarded 
as a foolhardy project, but Oscar said lie wanted 
to see some good plays and operas fctwia^^f with- 
out the necessity of tnnding three miles in 
tramway cars. 

The Harlem Opera Bbnse -cost him a fortune 
in^the^ few years he was permitted to tempt 
fate there, bnt before tt was in operation a year 
he bnilt another large, and beaatlfnl theatre on 
the same street, hat a few blocks away, the 
Colambu. Theatre, and here he catered to tiie 
classes, presenting plays which had been sac- 
cessfol In tlie city proper. In. all .these enter- 
prises and many others which followed. Oscar 
planned right, hat be was away ahead of time. 
He blazed the trail for others to reap the har- 
vest; years afterward he bunt the famous 
Idngacre trio of amnsement temples. It was a 
two mlniOB dollar InTestment, from which he 
saw himself evicted two yean after the Inau- 
guration, as poor ss the day he was bom. Oscar 
found himself twelve years bko without a the- 
atre, without capital and with few friends. A 
benefit was organized In his behalf at Madison 
Square Garden by a few sympathetic, loyal 
ones, bnt tlils. too. was a fiasco. 

"Oscar la down and out," was heard on the 
Bialto, and things really did look that way — 
bnt one day It was announced In the press that 
iut had. aeeinvd the land at 42d Street and 7th 
Avenne. He bant there the oresent Immensely 
snccessfol Victoria Theatre. Then he bunt two 
more vlayhonses within a stone's throw, the 
Bepnblic and Hackett theatres. Thus wis cre- 
ated the now- famous theatre district. In that 
seventeen playhouses aie located wlthlD fire 
blocks of the Lontracre balldtsg. wMeh. br the 
way. IB oBce tgiSn In nse nnder Oscar's di- 
rection. 

The first Manhattan Opera House was a mil- 
lion dollar investment. It was located ov West 
34th Stzeet.^ now the site of Macy*B famous de- 
partment store. Here the redonbtable Impres- 
ario gave grand opera at a period when he was 



wholly without the tools for success. To his 
great rejsret the splendid edifice was transformed 
into a music ball, where Yvette Gulllwrt, Ix>Ie 
Fuller and Albert Chevalier played memorable 
engagements. Strange to state, vaudeville has 
always been the salvation of this man. The 
Victoria Theatre has profited him tremendously. 
It Is stated that a yearly sncplns of $250,000 
from that one enterprise has been averaged for 
more than eight years. Tike house, too. lias 
been the source of sapidy by which the neat 
deficits of grand opera a la Hammersteln nave 
been liquidated. 

Four years ago Oscar built the present Man- 
hattan Opera House. Originally It was 
intended that the policy was to be sim- 
ilar to that which prevails at the Drury 
I.ane Theatre in liODdon, but to the utter 
xmazement of press and public, at the eleventh 
hour "The W&ard" announced that he would 
compete with the Metropolitan Opera House. 
The idea was ridiculed. Herr Coaried. who 
.It the time was the director of the Metropol- 
itan, predicted that the house would never open 
with «rand opera, and If it did. It would not 
last three months. . . 

Few indeed believed that any elTort to com- 
pete with the one opera honse to which society 
was thorooi^ily cmnmltted, would endure for a 
year, but the magnificent auditorium was op- 
ened with mtich eclat. The subscription was very 
small. The rich society leaders were absent 
from the several tiers of boxes, and yet before 
a month iiad passed this remarkable man had 
demonstrated a strength which soon began to 
show Itself at the box office. The first sea- 
son was ended without disaster, and the 
next year Oscar made two "ten strikes," one 
with Mme. Melba. who packed the opera house 
to the doors each time she appeared; the other 
with French opera comlque, which he gave in a 
manner entirely new to American music lovers. 
As a fact, the second yesr of the Manhattan 
Opera House was a profitable one, wberas at the 
Metropolitan large deficits were faced by the 
millionaire directors. 

The third year was a disastrous one for both 
of the opera bouses — fierce competition was 
waged, and Hammersteln had added another mil- 
lion dollar opera house In Fhiladelphia to his 
harden. The end of this season found the com- 
petitors thoroughly exhausted- Oscar had 
sailed for Europe to engage the singers for the 
following year^-bat he was indeed weary of 11 
all, whereas tbe Metropolitan Interests were 
glad to confer witli a view to ending for all 
time the battle which seemed to mean only an 
increased revenne for the artists and colossal 
losses for the directors. The sons of Oscar Ham- 
mersteln are practical yoong men. representing 
the rising goerati^n of "shomnen." Tb^ were 
not content to aee tbeli father mined iiii«.i»i«ny 




Giving a 
Tell to the 
Amateurs 



By OZO. K. OOKAH. 

"All the world's a stage and all the men 

and women merely players," and It's lust as 
true today as It was when the Bard phrased It 
on the banks of the Avon nearly three hundred 
years ago. Way down deep In the heart of 
every human being there lurks a longing for the 
footlights, a desire to act even If only in en 
amateur way. The stage fever is generally most 
malignant between the ages of twelve and 
twenty, but it has been known to attack children 
of much larger growth, and no system, however 
Sluggish, may be said to be entirely Immune 
from it. 

The theatrical bee is a most Insistent little 
insect with a sting that inoculates a histrionic 
craving that an antidote of years of bum-drum 
home life will not snbdne. The lore of the stage is 
omnl-ptesent; its fascination is ever dominant. 
The bee usually arrives on the scene during 
"kid days." He Uves and thrives In the old 
bam. In the garret or cellar of the household 
or In any roomy place where the improvlsion 
of a stage made at soap boxes and barrds Is 
possible, and where a curtain, purloined from 
mother's linen closet, may he stretched. There, 
after many rehearsals, your girl and boy play- 
mates are bidden and for an admission price of 
two pins are privileged to witness those blood- 
cnzdling melodramas. Dare Devil Dick, the 
Boy Bandit, or Whispering Harry, the Cowboy 
King. 

A few years later tlie bee buzzes more In- 
sistently and you join the amateur club and are 
privileged to play for the benefit of the local 
church fair. If you are fortunate enough to 
make good you become a prime local favorite 
and. in the estimation of your townspeople, a 
real actor. This is the vital period. This is 
the time that the sting of the bee becomes ven- 
omous. BObert Mantell appears at the "Opry" 
Honse and yonr admirers whisper that you have 

blm beaten nine city blocks and that you are 
wasting your time by not chasing for Broad- 
way and Charles Frohman's office, where a con- 
tract is >nc« to be w^ttng for yonr slgnatnre.

and perhaps piiysically by a continuation of the 
senseless iny—bence, as tliey were vested with 
antlioriQr In the matter, they came to an agree- 
ment, by wtilch the older concern would remain 
alone in the field, while Oscar was Oldlgated to 
refrain from giving grand opera In America for 
all time. The amount of money whlcii passed 
In tbbi transaction has been variously estimated, 
but It may be bere stated that S2SO,000 In cash 
was paid to Oscar, while all his contract obli- 
gations with artists were assumed. 

Since this procedure has been in effect. Ham 
merateln has made two comic opera produc- 
tions in New York on a scale heretofore nnbeatd 
of. Both have been tremendous successes artis- 
tically and financially. These productions (Hans 
the Flnte Player and KanghtT- Marietta) are 
destined for London, and will probably be the 
first big offerings In the sew opera lionie in 
that metropolis. 

iKmdoners may as well be at rest, as all of 
the announcements which emanate from Oscar 
Hammersteln. tor he is going to do all that he 
has said he would, and he will onrely inangnr- 
ate his liondon enterprise on the exact date an- 
notmced. 

nndonbtedly the daring of the man Is about 

to be placed at Its severest test, bat barring a 

breakdown in bis health, everything shoald 
come to pass on schedule. We of New York 
look on In amazement bnt not In doubt. Oscar 
win find out what lAudon wants and will 
give It liberally. Obstacles will be overcome, 
and In dne time London wlil come to understand 
the manner of man wbo Is dealing with Hs crit- 
ical public. He is not in the habit of trifilng. 
nndonbtedly the very precarious character of 
the English imdertaking was to Hammersteln 
his greatest ammnnltion. for throughout bis ca- 
reer he has shown a partiality for the seemingly 
impossible. 

During all of the quarter of a century of bis 
activity in the amnsement world. Oscar Hammer- 
steln. has never ha'd a partner or backer; the 
manner in which he would fmierge from bank- 
mptcy to aflluence has always been a mystery. 
He never has leased a theatre, always building 
and owning the property from floor to celling. 
\t the present time, even after the vlefssltndes 
of his grand opera ambitions have been sur- 
veyed and adjusted, be stIU owns the Manhat- 
tan Opera house outright, as well as three 
costly and profitable theatres on a single block 
in the ^theatre district created by him. '

If yon fall for this line of chatter you resign 
your position at the soda water fountain or yonr 
berth at the ribbon counter and hllte for the 
bright lights only to find that aboat a million 
sufferers from tlie same insidious bee have 
beaten yon to it. True, they liaven't usurped 
yonr place on Charles Frohman's staff bnt they 
are trotting up ond down the big lane wearing 
oat the seats of their troasera sitting around 
"tank town" theatrical exchanges In the hope 
of doing so — atwut a million of them. Of course, 
if yon really have talent coupled with a strong 
determination and an assertive willpower, yoa 
may in time — a long, long time — succeed In 
landing an engagement. 

Bnt, at the best. It is a tongh straggle and my 
advice to amateur actors who long for profeS' 
slonal recognition is: Look the theatrical hori- 
con over thorooglily, size up the other snfferer^ 
from the sting of the same breed of "hammer" 
tbat lias bitten a chunk ont of your "tempera- 
mental" zone and then If yon think tbat the 
partlcnlar "honey-bug" tbat decoyed yon from 
yonr mercantile pursuits has succeeded -In In- 
noculatiog a better brand of Thesplanic virus 
than he has furnished the other million who are 
vainly knocking at the door of the temple of 
the drama — stick. Stick and wear oat another 
pair of shoes and the seat of another pair of 
nnmentlonablea. 

But, before the bankroll dwindles to the thin 
ness of a Uneeda Blscnlt. yes, even before 
Frohman has sent for you — buy a return ticket 
home. Then If C. F. doesn't come across wltli 
the high sign and the contract from tha "tank 
town" exchange fails to materialize, you can 
"choochoo" back to the village of your early 
triumphs, grab the clerkship behind the "sody" 
foontain counter or the ribbon department, where 
believe me. the chances of your acquiring "three 
snnares" and a "pad" a day are much more cer- 
tain than holding ont for a nicbe In tbe temple 
of the house of Thespis, already over-crowded 
with mlagulded men and women who are firmly 
convinced that their partlcnlar mission in life 
is the promotion of art for art's sake and the 
npllftlng of the drama, an art that is being 
dany strangled by tbe incompetency of the ams' 
tear actor. 



Bobert Stickney. one of the most famous cir- 
cus performers of his day. has been traveling 
with the Polly of The Circus Company, accom- 
panied by his daughter, Emily. They closed 
with this company for the season of 1910-11, and 
are now In Cincinnati, Ohio, wbere they will 
spend the next three months. Mr. Stickney 
and hia daughter have been re-engaged by tbe 
5' "i^. CTcus Company for the icaaoo of 
19U-12. This Is the second vacation Mr. Stick- 
ney has taken In sixty-aU years.

SIMON PLEASES SARAH BERN- 
HARDT. 

By EDWABO J, VaOOBKAOX. 

Miiilnine Sarah Itembanlt saw ber llrat aero- 
plane flight laat week at Slonz City. Iowa. Bene 
Simon and Capt. John J. Friable, both tempted 
death In order to please the Madame, Simon, 
after cIImbioK B.OOO feet Into the air, euttInK 
flgnre eiRbta, aplral KlIdinK and apparently try- 
Ine In every way possible to add another name 
to the list itt aviation martyra. descended nn- 
hurt. Friable In a 40-foot plnnse wrecked hla . 
mac'liino and was himself aererely Injured. ' 

Madame Bcmhanlt. after bcinc presented to 
Simon, said she had nevef seen an aeroplane 
niEht. Simon callantly offered to fly deaplte 
the fact that the Sioux City meet had dosed the 
day before. . 

Simon had landed bis machine the evenlnit 
prerloua llTe miles away from tbe groonds acrosh 
the Slonx River In Dakota. Bis mecbanlclana 
had practically campletel.v diasembied the mon- 
oplane but he ordered It put In flylngi condition 
again. Madame Sarah and her company waiteii 
for nearly two hours before the sound of the 
motor was wafn-d on the breeze to them. Thi 
aviator waa still Invisible. A few seooii 
later the Madame stretched ont both arms <<' 
rectly towarda the blinding rays of the son. 
There, surrounded by a sea of gold, bung > tiny 
bIrd'Shaped object. 

"Rraro, Simon," cried tbe Utdime, wringing 
ber hands and throwlnit klaaea alternately to- 
warda the frail craft of the daring aviator. 
Tbe cry was taken up bv the crowd. Simon 
rllmbed nntll he waa S.OOO feet up and then 
sbntting cff hia motor came down on a glide that 
was balr-ralalng. The Madame turned her fac- 
away: "He shonid not do that: It la anicide." 
she cried excitedly to her iihyslclnn. who was 
trying to reassure her that the blrdman bad 
the machine under perfect control. 

When on his last turn the aviator banked 
bis machine until It fairly seemed to stand on 
end and then beaded stralsht for the atage-folk. 
Thev ncattere<l; tbe Divine Sarah srave a easp 

of alarm and dncked nntvremoDlouaty, remem- 
bering, no doubt, tbe fate of tbe Prime Minister 
of France. But the recklesa little aviator, wti' 
one band wavlnft Rally at bis terrified aiiectators. 
shot past, the tip of bis wine not five feet awai- 
from where Divine Sarah stood. 

When finally he landetl In the InfieM of tlie 
racetrack. Madame Bernhardt |rTasi>ed t>oth t>' 
bands In hers for several moments before 
speaklnfT. A tear fell on Simon's hand: he 
Moked at It rather aorprlse<Ily and smiled — the 
crowd langhed and It seemed to relieve tbe ten- 
alon of tbe moment. 

Madame Bernahrdt Impetnotisly snatched a rose 
from ber bono net and pressing it to ber lips, 
hande*! It to Simon. Then for the first time she 
managed to control her emotions sufficiently to 
speak. "It la wonderful Moasleur," she de- 
clared. "As I first saw yon I wandered It It 
contd he probable that there wis a mortal adrift 
In such a frail machine. .\nd then aa yon went 
higher and higher and the clouds were racing 
past you 1 conld not help but think whether 
or not yon realiaed how awfnl It was to be 
so close to yoor God and so far away from 
yonr fellowmen." 

when P. L. Tonn^. eeneral mans^r of the 

UoUant arlitora saw how Ibe Madame was 
effected by tbe night he consented to Capt. John 
J. Friable making an attempt to equal Simon's 
performance. TVIien fort.T feet In the air a 
sadden wind pnir whirled tho Captain's machine 
a round and be plunged down, wrecking tbe 
biplane and idlghlly injuring UmMlf.

mile circle over the residential part of the city

EAGLES FI GHT BIRDMEN. 

Madrid. Spain, May 25.— With the ezeepltaB 
of the crossing of the Alps by George t;iiaVis. 
on September 23. 1910. a feat which ended In 
his death, the third stage of the aviation race 
from Paris to Madrid toe the prize of «20,000 
and $10,000 additional offered by Spanish aero 
clubs, proved to be the most severe test to which 
the aeroplane yet has been subjected; ana two 
of the three contestants, it now appears, nave 
been forced to abandon the flight. _ 

GUbert, Garros and Vcdrlne began the third 
stage from San Sebastian early today. The 368 
miles of tbe route is almost enUrely over deso- 
late ranges, varying from 1,000- to S,000 feet In 
height, where a fall means death, and to maze 
a fresh start Is tmpoislble. 

They had slso to contend against leatberea 
foes. Gilbert fongh the fiist recorded battle 
of the air. • 

Ftonr great, fierce eagles swooped down to 
give battle with their new rival, the aicmaB. 

ManlpnIatIng the levers as best he conld, Gil- 
bert with his left band groped In his tiocket for 
a revolver. He fired two shots at the feathered 
kings of Oie air, and they dropped behind. 

As Gilbert declares. It was one of the moat 
exciting Incidents of bis life. The birds swooped 
down upon bis viciously and struck at him with 
their powerful beaks. They succeeded only in 
carrying off his cap. He then fired, and he be- 
lieves that one of the birds was woonded. 

From latest dhvatcbes Teaching the committee 
In Cbarge, It appears that Vedrlne alone Is likely 
to finish. He passed over the Qnlntimapala and 
crossed the city of Burgos at a great height, 
bnt was later, forced to descend. He tele- 
graphed to th£i clnb, Bay&w he conld not pro- 
ceed for some boors, and the clnb antbotlxed an 
extension of tte time for the complefloix of tbe 
race. 

Gnhert landed at Olazagntia. forty miles from 
San Cebastlan. bnt when he attempted to make 
a fresh start his machine was capsized and part- 
ly wrecked, although the aviator was not bnrt. 
There Is little probabnity that he can repair 
the aeroplane within the time limit. 
■ Garros Is stalled In a motmtalnous spot- near 
Andoaln, six miles from San Sebastian. The na- 
tnre nf tbe gtonnd makes a restart practically 
imnosslhle. and It Is tmderstond he has abao- 
(lo^ed tlie contest. .

the most successful in its history. The va- 
rious rides and buildings have been repainted

ile. ■ • 

^Hic feature this year Is the new one thou- 
sand-foot well, yielding a supply of over 6.400 
gallons of water per hour. 

One of the great amusements this season is 
the presence of Mutt and .Telf, who will hold

"Of course, our big feature and drawing card 
is the band concerts." said Mr. M. G. Helm, 
*'for Kansas City is fond of music, and an eve- 
ning with delightful music at the park attracts 
hugely. We will offer this year only the best 
bands, and there will he several innovations in 
the programs.*' The opening band was Don 
Phllllplni's. and the first week of the engage- 
ment fully waminted Its popularity. 

Of course all the rides are there, Inclnding 
the Dips Coaster, the Scenic Coaster, the Scenic 
Railway, the Tickler, the Miniature Railway, 
Carousel, etc. And the two ever favorites, 
dancing and roller skating, must not be omit- 
ted, for both these pleasures are well repre- 
sented at Electric. The ball room Is one of the 
finest In the city, and the masic always excel- 
lent. Boiler skating Is provided in a big open 
air rink for the devotees of this pastime. This 
year, instead of the Ostrich Farm. Is the Fla- 
mingo Farm. These brilliantly bned birds are 
very interesting. 

At the opening every show was running full

Park. Be has filled this position for the oast 
thirteen seasons in the old Electric Park and In 
the big new electric, "the Coney Island of the

a "New Midway" with a huge human roulette 
wheel, a giant slide-ride and a dozen other new 
attractions. The fifty acres that comprise Glen

Manager L- Sidman has outdone himself 
this 3'ear with countless new amusement devices, 
which will add greatly to the host of pleasure- 
st^ekers at this famous resort. Tlie big open-air 
attractions were Harry Six. In a thrilling dive 
of 150 feet, and Dare Devil Valo. In the new 
feature pavilion. Baron Captain Nicer de Barscy, 
the famous Hungarian midget, and Baroness 
Sldonia . the real bearded lady, w^ere the big 
attractions. Splendid military band concerts 
are a noteworthy drawing-card. A splendid fleet 
of palace steamers carry the large crowds to 
and fro from the Point, TTnder the enterprising 
management of Mr. L. Solman. who is a big 
f&ctor in Canadian amusement circles, Hanlan's 
Point will be a big succesfi during the season. 

Liberati's Band and Grand Opera Concert 
Company of ninety soloists, will play Union 
Park Theatre, Dubuane. Iowa, managed by Jake 
Rosenthal of that city, week beginning June 4.

mer vaudeville. Manager Boscnthal will play 
four acts a full week at the park, opening with 
Sunday matinee each week. The theatre Is the 
largest In the state, seating 5,000 people, all 
enclosed, and fitted with upholstered cane opera 
chairs; 100 electric fans are installed, even to 
the dressing rooms, which, by the way, are 
equipped with shower baths. The scenery and 
properties of this mammoth stage cost over five 
thousand dollars. Performers "who played it 
Inst season declare this engagement one of the' 
finest they ever played, as the park itself is the 
beauty spot of Iowa. 

Bayonne Park, Bayonne, N. J., opened its aea- 
6011 on Saturday, May 27. Mr. John Seward, who 
has heon the manager for the past two years. 
Is again at the helm, and a successful season 
is expected. The section of town in ^ which the 
park Is li>cated has, during the past year, been 
very largely built up, thus giving the park a 
very populons district to draw from. The new 
County Park, which is but a few blocks from 
Bayonne Park, will undoubtedly tend to attract 
people to this place of amusement. Very many 
concessions have already been leased, and the 
few that remain are being rapidly taken up. 
Mr. Seward takes a very optimistic view of 
the coming season and says he believes it will 
be the best the park has known. 

Of the old White City. Cleveland. O.. practic- 
ally nothing remains, not even the name. M. F.

be the SceiUc Ballroom with waterfall. The 
building is three hnndred feet^ long by one hun- 
dred and twenty feet wide, and - cost $100,000. 
The waterfalls, behind which the dancers pass, 
is more than twenty feet high, and ten thou- 
sand gallons of water an hour pass over the 
edge of the falls. 

Manager S. H. Kahn of Forest Park, located 
at Columbia Heights, a suburb of Minneapolis, 
Minn., announces that his park will open a week 
or two later this season than usual, probably 
shout the middle of June. This Is due to the 
fact that Improvements are being made which 
make it Impossible to open the gates at an 
earlier date. All of last year's staff will be 
re-engaged for this season.

purpose. Tbe exhibit of Jerseys by Messrs. BnU

features of the fair, and Is always a special at- 
traction to those interested In dairy stock. Last

The Capper Country Fair, held at Houghton, 
Mich., Is nine years old and has made one of 
the best records of any fair in MIcIilgan. It is 
In the lieart of tbe great copper region, and 
until this fair -was started very little attention 
was given to farmin?. At the present time most 
aH of tbe local wealthy people are buying large 
tracts of land, and today this district has as 
fine farms as can be found anywhere. Secretarv 
John T. McNamara. who has been the backbone 
of this fair, and who was never dlsconraged. 
seeing the great possibilities and what good the 
-work could do. has built up one of tbe best 
edncatlonal fairs In the state. Tbe fair has 
been especialll- strong on the agriedtnral and 
indnstrial features. The association has never 
went- m for boraeraclng. Their -ground space 
has been limited, but they have proven tba' 
yon can hold a fair and build up tbe best kind 
of a fair without races. Each year they have 
had new attractions and their attractions havi. 
been the best tlmt money could get. Ihev wir 
bold their tenth annual fair Sept. 26-30 and 
are malclng great preparations for tbis sea- 
sou's event. 

The Kansas State Fair at Topeka. Kan.,

also Incorporate an alrdome, or open bandstand, 
where the nmsical programs -will be rendered 
by tbe Envflle Hall Prize Flute and Drum Band, 
which comes direct from England to featnre the 
: exhibition's musical program. The new build- 
ing, while designed only to serve until Iho ex- 
hibition is rebuilt at Its new lacation. will stfll 
be an attractive arcbltectnral addition to the 
sclieme of the exhibition's bnlldlnga. The art 
loan exhibit will come under new and enlarged 
ansirices this year. Aa antomOblle show, the 
Hist to be^ lieKI at tbe exblbitlon, will ocenpy the 
entire floor space ot tbe central industrial build- 
log', nie tamons agrlcnltnral motor competi- 
tion, now in Its fourth year, and one of the far- 
reaching features ot tbe big fair, will again be

program. Xo exhibiting or competlflve event In 
the world attracts the attention ot the farm 
tract or makers and users as does this Winnipeg 
competition, and its gold medal of snpremaey 
is one of tbe prized trophies of the Indnstrisi 
world. Tbe sports, races, amusements and at- 
tractions of tbe exhibition win again be to the 
fote with new and remarkable features. The 
new sports of aviation will lie promlnentiy dis- 
played at the Fair, tlie directors having seenred

tbeir fair is tbe oldest In the state Of North

the benefit ot the horsemen, forty new box 
stalls, with double doors, have iieen built, tbii-- 
offerlng the liest accommodations, wbile tbe 
track Is being regraded. and pnt in first-class 
condition, generally.

tural Society they passed a resolntlon abolishing 
complimentary free passes. Tlieir live stock ex- 
hibit was so large last season that tbey liare

condition of the society, but a complete list of 
tbe names and addresses of ever.r prize winner

incky exhibitor. The society mailed these re- 
ports to every -romlnent farmer and manufac- 
turer in and out of the state of Korth Carolina.

Sresslon of civic pride is being made, and It is 
oped to make each and every member of the 
commtmity an ardent booster for the fair. Races 
will be given as well as two first-class free 
acts. Special sports In which local contestants 
■wDl participate will be one of tbe features of 
the Charlotte Pair in 1911.

TALES OF AN OLD CIRCUS 

Interesting Reminiscence of Circus Lore, and Some Inci= 
dente in the Lives of Dan Rice and His Daugliter 
Ella, Heretofore Unpublished 

By JEANNE JUDSON. 



muniui 



Ttiere are few mea and women In tlie United 
States past fUtj years of axe wlio can not re- 
member as one of ttae brlgbtest spots In tlielr 
cfaildhood. a visit to Dan Bice's Circaa. 

Dan Rice died many years aKO and most of tbe 
performers wlio dellgbted audiences with tlieir 
fcalr-ralslne exploits nnder Ms circus tent fortr- 
flve years ago have also passed beyond. At least 
gne of tlieiii, bowerer. remains — a. whltc-halrcd, 
dlgniOed^ old lodTr now known as Mrs. W. D. 
HembllDK, bot ODGe EUa Bice, tbe dartne 
Toimi^ trapese performer and bareliack rider* 
wba was the star of her father's circns. 

Mrs. HembUns is now past sixty years of 
■ce. She was bom in £.andon, where the circus 



to a river or small stream of water, we were 
compelled to search mtil we found a place 
where the elephants coold wade or swim across. 

"Our program never varied. We traveled all 
night. In the morning we pitched the tents and 
practiced, then came the parade, then the after- 
noon performance, then more practice, then the 
evening performance, after which the tents 
were taken down and we began another all-night 
]onmey to the next stop. We slept in hammocks 
swung inside one covered wagons. One of my 
earliest memories is of travelinj; over country 
roads at night, swaying, none too gently, to and 
fro In my hammock. For years after 1 left 
the circus I bad the greatest dlfflcolty In getting 



ELLA RICE, 




Oldest daughter of Dan Bice, once a famoos circns performer. 



was showing during a tour of England. Her 
motlwc died at her birth. Ban Bice married 
twice after this, bnt this diUd of his first 
wife was the. only- one who traveled with the 
cbrcQs. While not bom nnder a idrcns tent, the 
childhood of Blla Rice was almost entirely spent 
there. When she was a baby a none traveled 
with her, but almost as soon as she could stand 
alone she was put Into training. 

She began by ridinj; the horses. At the age 
Of dve she was performing on the trapeze and 
when hut little older she began to walk the 
tight wire. 

Mis. aemtillng's present home is in Grand 
Bapids, where only a few of her most Intimate 
friends Imow; that she .was ever rcoonected with 
Mr tAlcus^ She is as bright' and active as ever 
and when a. ^cns cemes to town she: is always 
In the ftont row, 

"Traveling with a circus now is child's play 
as compared with what It meant when 1 was 
yomvr." said 3Xrs. Hembliug. ''Xow : the circHS 
trav^ from place to place, in comfortable cars. 
There Is some time to live and think, bnt in m> 
day there was ; not a . moment to spare. 
traveled in covered wagons,' ..The smaller ani- 
mals were drawn .in wagons by the horses, but 
the elephants and .other jiarge animals were com.- 
pelled to walic 'Xatnrall.v procreas was very 
slow. We traveled* all night, taking 011I7 SDCb 
jumps as could be ma<le in that time. Elephant:, 
will not cress a bridge and whenever we came 



to sleep, becanse I missed the roefclhg sensa- 
tion." 

From the program outlined by Mrs. Hembllng 
it is easy to see that there could have been lit- 
tle time for education, religious training or 
recreation. . Perhaps yon think that these things 
were indulged in during the months when tbe 
show was not on the road. This was not the 
case. The circns was on the road almost the 
entire year. When It was necessary to close, 
the greater part of tbe animals were housefl 
In Glrard, Pa., the place which for many years, 
Dan Rice called home, and he and his company 
would go on the road, presenting a performance 
of trapeze performing, luggllng. etc., at the 
dilTercnt theatres abont the country and some- 
times presenting a play. Mrs. Hembllng can 
read and write, but she is not Jnst sure uow 
.she learned. She tells an Interesting story 
of her first religions training. It came from no 
iGFH persons than'' the famoos evangelists. Moody 
and Sankey. 

The circns was showing In a little town In tlip 
Eastern part of Michigan. The Interest of the 
people was dlvld<^d between the circus and Dm; 
two noted evangelists, who were also in the 
town. Ella Rice was at that time about nine 
years old and was even then tbe principal at- 
tr»<-tinn of tiie sbow,^-.She always gave the free 
exhibition outside .toe' tent. Sometimes it was

ROLLER SKATIN G NEWS 

Riverview Rink, Milwaukee, Closes After Having Success^ 
ful Season — Street Marathon Race Scheduled for 
Decoration Day will have Many Starters 



MILWAUKEE RINK CLOSES SEA- 
SON. 



Xbe BlTerrSev BoIIee Skating Palace, Mll- 
wankee Wis., closes for tlie present season ou 
Wednesday evening. May 31, after B most suc- 
cessful season. Manager Munch reports an 
increase in. business this season over that of 
last season, both in attendance and financially. 
KoUer skating seems to have a strong bold on 
the Milwankee public, as a visit any Sunday 
evening to this Amusement Palace will show. 
The usual Sunday crowd Is from 1200 to 2I>0[) 
enthusiastic roller skaters and spectators. 
~ Manager Munch is deserving of much credir 
as bis strict management has placed and kept 
skating at a high standard in Milwaukee. 
Having had charge^ for the past two years he 
will again assnme the duties of Manager of 
BlTerview Blnk nest seasoa after an estenstve 
trip to the coast this summer. 



A HANDSOME RINK. 



One of the most beautiful, if not the most 
besntlfnl. rink in the world Is the Sporting 
Palace at St. Petersburg, Russia. The rink is 
consfcnictwl entirely of stone, with stone pillars 
around tlic sides, a very high celling constructed 
of glass, with arcbligbts about it to light the 
building. The Idea Is to keep the glare from 
the people's eyes, as the building is so white the 
reflection would hnrt their eyes. The dimen- 
sions of the fioor are three hundred by one Ima- 
dred feet, about a twelve-lap track. It; is': the 
only maple floor in St. Petersburg, the others nil 

^belne aspbalt Soors: v Tbeie are two cafes, one on 

' the balconT' for the spectators, ana tbe other on 
'the gronna Soor for the s&aters. and also an 
American bar for those who do not wish to sit 
down: The bnilding is heated by hot air, which 
la pumped in between two double walls, and they 
also have two double windows, which keep the 
cold out. The barriers are made of rope netting 
and covered wUh the best of leather. The rink 
has a drawing room furnished with Turkish 
concbes and settees and the floor is covered with 
the best of Bmssells carpet. The place is de;; 
orated with real plants, palm trees all over the 
building, and live vines hanging- from the bal- 
cony.: The session is ; contliinons from 12 
o'clock In the morning to 1 o'clock at night. 

: with continuous music, a fifty-piece brass band 
and a flf ty-piece string orchestra, which Is the 
Franks' Band, one of the best-known orchestra:; 
In Earope. The floor stair are all English, and 
ai& all good skaters. They were sent from 
different parts of the continent, and are all high 
salaried men. The company is so pleased with 
the staff that they have signed contracts for 
the next season. The cost of the building alone 
Is $230,000, not counting the cost of the land, 

. wlilch Is very expensive In St. Petersbnrjr. The 
dnk is patronized by the highest of nobility. 



PERMANENT EXPOSITION AT 
MANILA. 



exposition and for the purchase of exhibits there 
made, and $3,000 jjold is allowed for the support 
of a permanent staff' organization for tU« expo- 
sition. The exposition seems to be upon n per- 
manent basis and, with the admission oC Amer- 
ican goods free of duty into rhe islands, it seems 
to offer an exceptionally good aud favorable op- 
portunity of IntrodHCing many American prod- 
ucts, not only to' a larj^e portion of the popula- 
tion of the Philippines, but to representatives 
of other portions of the Far East as well. In 
a general way e.\hibits could best be arranged 
Through local agents: in Manila. 

CHI CAGO RINK NOTES. 

Edward Schwartz, former amatenr champion, 
and Henry Becker, another amatenr champion 
from Elvervlew Rink, traveled to Whiting, Ind., 
and defeated the pick of the home town in a two 
mile race by two laps. The team which repre- 
sented the home rink was Joe Lowry and John 
Bisha, two skaters who have been winning from 
everybody in the last three months, but when 
meeting two past masters In the art of speed 
skating, they fonnd the going too swift and 
fell victims, after putting np a creditable per- 
formance. 

John Brill, at present one of the best ama- 
tenr skaters representing the amatenr .tiass at 
the amusement park rink, came to the front and 
won from a large field in a hanrlicnp event at a 
distance of two miles, from sucli sood skaters 
as .\l Krueger. Loo Glasbrenrn'r. winner of the 
Street marathon; John Lyons. Fred Fursten, A. 
DInninher. Brill has never won a Class A event, 
and only about two months ago showed that 
In a short time he will develop into a good 
skater. The feature of the handicap races is 
the showing of little Johnnie Lyons, the small- 
est racer in this city, and weighing only sixty- 
five ponnds., - Xyons Is only one point behind 
Krenger In : the cnp series, and in the last two 
races has been doing exceptionally well. On ac- 
count of his size he finds It difficult to keep his 
place In a large crowd of racers when they turn 
the comers, he being so small the other boys 
take advantage of his size and without any 
effort whatever the squeeze him out of his place, 
unless he Is far In the lead. 

Twenty-four entries have alreadv been re- 
ceived by Secretary Kaltenx, of the Blverview 
Roller Club for the third street marathon, to 
be held Decoration Day morning over North- 
west Side streets. All of the Blverview EInk 
skaters have entered, among the list being Leo 
Glasbrenner and John Brill, who finished first 
and third in the last one. Among the skaters 
entered are a lot who have never done any rink 
laclttjr, hnt have put In a lot of time on the 
asphalt pavements getting in condition. Ten 
prizes will be offered for the first ten skaters 
to cross the tape, and a large list of names Is 
looked for at the last moment. 

Atlantic Beach at Riverview Park, opened 
Sunday. May 21. on acconnt of a demand made 
by ninety-flve members of the Eivervlew Swim- 
ming Clnb. who sent in a signed petition to 
Manager Harmon. The weather for the past 
week has been exceptionally good for water 
sports and the beach :sbonld . experience a good 
season. 



- (From Consul-General George E. Anderson, Hong- 
kong.' China; see also Gonsular and Trade 
Beports lor AprQ 13, 18II.) 

'.The authorities of the Philippine Islands have 
Inangnrated an exposition enterprise which mer- 
its the attention of bnsiness men in the United 
States Interested In export trade in the Far 
East. 

For several years th^- municipality of Manila 
has been developing a carnival celebration for- 
the annual carnival season which has Included 
as many American Ideas and attractions as pos- 
sible. The plan has been to attract people from 
all over the Philippines and from as man.v other 
portions of the Far East as possible to tbe city 
of Manila to enjoy the entertainment provldetl 
for them and Incidentally to stimulate business. 
There have been all sorts of carnival attrac- 
tions, from parades and aeroplane flights to 
athletic tonmaments and band contests between 
Philippine organizations and- organizations from 
Et9nth. China and Japanese ports. Among other 
attractions has been a fair or exposition, which 
has been gradually developed until It has become 
one of the attractions of most value to the enter- 
prise. In this exposition there hare been ex- 
hlbits of Philippine products of all sorts, both 
agricultural and indnstrial. The better and 
more permanent of these exhibits have been 
collected from time to time into a sort of per- 
manent exposition, and those of permanent value 
are savpd for the mnseom of the Philinplne 
Islands which the Government is establishing. 

Among other exhibits in this fair or exposition 
have been ' exhibits of American goods, made 
by agents of American houses. Apparently there 
is no reason why this feature of the exposition 
should not be further developed with profit to 
all concerned. The Government of the Islands 
; has appropriated $35,000 gold for the annnal 



RINK NOTES. 



The skating rink at Waynesburg. Pa., now 
under the management of C. Woodroof. has been 
doing excellent bnsiness. Dare Devil Frank was 
the attraction at this rink for the week of May 
22. and received a number of complimentary no- 
tices from the local press. He does a dip of 
death, which Is said to be intensely thrilling. 



PLAYH OUSE NOTES. 

The New Orphenm, Leavenworth. Kan., closed 
a very snccessfnl season on May IS. The house 
Is owned and managed by M. B. Shanberg. who 
also owns the Colnmbia Theatre in Kansas 
City, Kan. The W. Y. M. A. supplied the book- 
ings. Popular Louis Gordon is treasurer and 
also acting manager In the absence of Mr. Shan- 
berg. The house will reopen about the midille 
of September. This is the first full season under 
the management of Shanberi^ and receipts show 
that It Is one of the moneymakers of this 
section. 

On May 6, Messrs. Burton & Phillips opened 
tbeir new theatre In Hymera, Indiana, to 
capacity bnsiness. The house has a seating 
capacity of 600 on the mala floor. They will

in Two WMks' Tima. 



Write us for endorEements. The "ODD PIN" germ is the latest and most 
contagious one ever caught in the field of sports — play tiie game is the only 
relief known. 

"ODD PINS" is a distinctive favorite with the ladies. The alley is 12 feet 
long, two sections, 21 inches high, 41 inches wide; the bank shot gives a 24* 
foot roll to the ball. "ODD PINS" is indestructible, being' made of an^e 
steel and white maple, finely finished. It's a winner, a money fetcher, a draw- 
ing card. Fun, josh and good-natured laughter are the elements of "ODD 
PINS." —

This i» one of the be^t-acted comedies seen in

themselves are excmciatingly fanny, while the

Is foil of humor. A childless young couple has

This film has beea mentioned In our news col- 
ttmns us a him deserving special mention. It 
Is Tery well acted and splendidly sef.-^ It is a 
film which Is very Ithely to receive adverse criti- 
cism because the theme Is a sad one. ai:d 
natnraliy. if not* very well done. Is not us In- 
teresting as a Sim which tells' a funny strry 
or one witli--a happy endlnp. Tbe *tory is tbat 
of the divorced mother who dies la poverty but 
Just before her death has an opi>ortunity to bear 
her former husband promise to take care of the 
little daughter who has succeeded in briu;:iu:; 
lilm bade to his wife. 

Jb'lVK TH01TBAin> S0I£AB8 BEWABS; Amer- 
.ican. Western druma. Full lenstb. 
This film tells a rather interesting story but 
has a remarkably poor climax. It holds tbe 
Interest right to tbe Bnisb and shows good 
actlnjs and typical scenery, bat tbe fUfCt tbat it 
stops where it does somewhat spoils It. A valu- 
able and a very erldent opportunity has been 
missed by the producer, while we do not think 
the original story - was written as presented. 
Two Western lovers leave each other notes in a 
gap in tbe rock. Two highwaymen hide some of 
their plunder there and tbe young man gets it. 
There Is a reward of $5„00O ottered for the 

arrest of tile bandits who have been making 
bold-'nps from time to time. The young, man 
leads tbe sheriff and a posse of men to the 
scene, where the bandits are apprebende<l. No 
mention is made of the couple getting the re- 
ward, while we should think tbat $5,000 would 
have been a very welcome item to them.

A very good story is told in this .Sim but tbe 
remarkable things are the setting and the act- 
ing. The story is simple and for that reason 
alone a good one. so that with the splendid pro- 
duction made of it an excellent result is ob- 
tained. A little boy of six is lured by tlie 
glare of the circus parade to enter the gronnds,

This Is another fine plot very well worked out 
and presented. The story possesses tbat all- 
important qnallty of being conslsteirt. wiiile 
each actor sticlcs to tbe personality he has to 
portray thiougbont tbe play- The setting and 
pbotography is very good, the only suggestion 
we have to offer lieliig that the camera should 
have been nearer tbe people so as to better pbo- 
tograph the faeee and bring ont the exmessloiv.

IBS SEOBBX 07 XHE HBDEBffiSOIIBB FA8- 
8AOE, Great Xorthem. Drama. Full 
length. 

This film Is no diifereirt In theme and action 
from so many other Great Northern films we 
luve seen tbat It Is pretty well described by 
saying "It Is a Greaf Northern." Thin wooM 
be entirely convet. were It not for the fact this 
company has pnxluced several very splendid films 
which are far aiiove tbe ordinary when motion 
plctnres In general are ronsiili-red, but this one 
is poor. We are thoroughly tired of such rapid 
action and especially tired of the mystery story. 
So facial expressions are cbown. nor ever Is 
there a change of rtaaraeter. The story is gotten 
over entirely by menus of botiily-expressed eiro- 
tions. and these very far In" tbe background. 
The theme, like ntbers. Is an exposition cf rrtten 
eooditions, ami If tme wonld serve a goo<l edu- 
atlon&i pnrpoiie. These cnnilltlnnn m.iy lie tme 
In the eoMntxT In -which tlie films are made, but 
are not true In most conntrles and most assured- 
ly not in the countries In which matiy are shown 
and In wblrh this paper. Is read. The plot, as 
stated. Is tbe same old line showing the rlllaln 
amidst respectable aanaandlnga, who send* the 



is carried to th.e next town before being dis- 
covered, and Is'^here protected by one of tiift- 
perfoimers. Wliile in the performer's tent hp^ 
overhears a plot to get bold some mohnr* 
coming to his friend, and exposes Iti The plot is 
disrupted and the performer secures tbe money,' 
The circns scenef,''.\^Icl) are real <mee, are very 
good and the. acting of the little stowaway 
qnite amusing. 

mPUDEKCE PXnnSBES. Eclair. Comedy. 
SpUt reel. 

This film shows stame excellent photography 
and, acting and tells a medlnm good story. The 
main comedy sitnatI6n in tbe climax is rather 
tiroad. but the incidental scenes are artistic 
and even better done than the final scene. A 
mdn becomes impudent in bis attentions to a 
girl and .she. In order to get even, feigns to 
reciprocate his affections and arranges a meet- 
ing with him on a certain evening. She suh- 
atltutes a farmer woman of very grotesque 
appearance for herself, covering the woman wltb 
her cloak and veil. When tbe nun calls he 
falls for the mae. while tbe girl and a number 
of her friends are standing ready to laugh at 
him wben tbe woman takes off her diagiilae.

highly comical and the reel is sure to go well. 

THE BLACK EEAST, Powers. Drama. Full 
lenjrtb. 

A pretty good story Is told -in this film and 
It Is pretty well played. The staging and cos- 
tuming Is bad however, and in some places 
remarkably careless and faky. It Is pretty 
bard to criticise a film like this, bnt we believe 
the chief difflculty wltb it is that it is old- 
fashioned. We like to see a snspeeted and bunted 
man relieved from suspicion, but we can not 
fully appreciate tbe relief unless we see tbe 
fellow suffer some. And more than that, we 
want and need to see some of his life while 
he is enjoying his new freedom. In plsln words, 
we want two things, we want contrast and we 
want to be told, or. as is the ca»e In a Dletnr.- 
P^'r-*''"'^- In this story the things rmiiilalte.

nis Is ONE funny story. It would have been 
a scream If tidd by anyone without ady Ulns-

it Is two screams. And It Is Just about sa 
true to life In theme as a story usnslly can be. 
Of course tbe action is carried on In a farcical 
war. hut tbe plot Is as natural as tbe day la 
long. Bawhldc. a Western vlllaite of the typi- 
cal type. Is marked for redemption by a well- 
cneanlng divine, Simpson . by name. Simpson 
holds several services In bis improvised cbnrcb 
with himself as tbe only worablpper, and la 
Inst about ready to give np hope when hia 
daushter arrives In town. She takes the eye 
of the men and before long Bawblde IS re- 
deemed. Of course there Is an Interesting love 
story and someone she likes gets the girl. But 
this is incidental, the redemption atnnt being 
the laughable part. 

THE HEBOEB8. Sellg. Western drama. 
Length. 1.000 feet. Beleased Hay 22. 
Thl» Is a very ordinary story, but doubtlessly 
will please many observers because of the way 
It ends. A drunken trader secures from a herd- 
er permission to many tals daughter. The girl 
Is in love with a young herder who is reluctant 
to see his sweetheart riding away with the 
trader. The trader bas not married tbe girl, 
no minister being available on tbe ranch, but 
Intends to do so when he reaches^ Waco, Tex. 
The girl's lover follows the pair, and when the 
trader Is absent for a few moments steals the 
girl and. koIsr to" a prioet. la married. The 
trader Is very angry at the discovery that the 
girl Is missing, and Immediately returns to 
her father's bonee where he meets the two_ lov- 
ers. Tbe herder shows tbe man the marrlal^e' 
certificate, and be. seeing that there was no nae 
atKulng. rIdM off. Tbe lover pnta np only a 
little fight for the clrl. and In onr opinion se- 
cures her very easily. Tbe point Is. we wnpose, 
that he sets her. however, and this accomplished, 
there Is no use arguing.

Some very odd and heathen customs are shown 
In this picture. The film Is dlscnstlng tn 
view, hut la nevertheless of edneatlnnal value 
and ts a meritorious accomplishment. The 
photography Is good and In all tbe film can be 
said to be very Interesting. 

THE OATTL'S HONOB. nrama. Length SS2 
feet. Same reel as Thibet. 
This film tells us an old Roman or German 
tale. It Is decidedly nn-Amerlcan In theme and 
in suitability to American taate. It deals with 
tbst ever-fertile Beld of romance — the period 
following Julius Caesar's entrance to snd csptnre 
of-Ganl. It Is a very simple story and aside 
from Us setting would tall short ot adeqnate- 
ness. It Is splendidly prodaced In this filn, 
well.played, and with lavish scenery and cos- 
tnmes. Tbs photography Is excellent. 

MAJDEUHE'S BZBEIXIOH. Edison. Comedy. 
Length, 090 feet. 
A tolerably funny story Is told In this film, 
but it Is acted In a sort of "two-a-week" fash- 
ion and needs a little of the elixir of Ufe. 
The scenery, aa la usnnl In Edison films. Is 
tborongbly ade<]uate. The phntsgrapby. while 
tree from blemishes. Is not clesr nor Is It well- 
tlnted. A* for the acting, it Is InmMed. If we 
may use snch a term, and posseasea little eom- 
edy. The story, as stated, is fnnny enoncb. Imt 
In a hinny story we want funny people, and 
these people are not tunny. It ought to he a 
fnnny sigbt to see two half-drunk girls parading 
around In soldier's costume, they conld have 
been a scream. But they are not. one reason 
being beranse the.r hsven't enough time to be 
and another reason belnp that the bormtvert cos- 
tumes fit so well nothing extraordinary was 
probably suggested to the gltls. When two 
real soldiers nnderlake to entertain tbe fake 
ones, the amnslns scene of the play occurs, and 
It really Is, In • meaeuie, fnnny.

aa.^ itake men, Inelnslve, more than 0D» hnn.

■sss, and aome of tlie atake drivers irere per- 
formers In vataor cspadtles. Among the special 
features of the drcns was a troupe of Xankee

esrved Uttle wxiodv brsckets. tans, pipe racks 
■ad sneh other knick-knacks as old-time Tan- 
tecs were famed tor, and sold them to the spec-

to Bee chlldrcui helpless or Bufferlna for anythlna, 
and, according to Mrs. Hembling. he married the 
widows that he might have the privilege of 
carlnx tor the children. Whether or not tbla waa 
the truth, it la certain that many a poor boy 
and girl witnessed the clrcos when th^ had no 
money to pay for their admission. GUa Bice 
Inherited this weakness, and many times as a 
Uttle girl she was guilty of showing small boys 
the easiest way to creep under the tent. 

As Ella Rice grew older, ber love for the 
rigors of circus life began to wane. She apofce 
to her father about leaving the ctrcna a num-. 
ber of times, bat he could have no nndeistand-; 
ing of her objections. To him tke olrens waa

A TITLE D SH OWMAN. 

Ammg eliena proprtetoia them are many _de 
lure, bat a very few de facto CUoada. ,9he 
title la ordinarily an honoiaiy one aeeoeded the 
manager by coorteona and eoBunon eooaent of 
the emptoeca of the oxaalaatloB cr entfer- 
prlae he direeto and flnances. It la boogfat and 
sold along with tbe wagons, snimsis and general 
Impedimenta, as a part of tbe assets, proresslon- 
ally easideted. Aa exeepti(m to this genasi 
rule Is Colonel Fred Bucnaaan of tbe Mighty 
Tankee Boblnson Monster niree-BIng Circns. 
now in the fourth week of the aeason^ with three 
weeks of lecoid-breakinf boalness already aud- 
ited. He U a Colonel de facto, made one over 
twenty yean ago nnder tbe iwteht seal of the 
great eommonwealth of South Dakota by Qov- 
emor Mellette. 

I beard tbe whole stoty at TermllUoB, 8. D.. 
Friday, where the shows packed 'em -In at' both 
performances. It was tdd 1^ one of the lead- 
ing professional 'men of tbe town, who at that 
time was a fellow student of yonng Buchanan at 
tbe State Unlveislty located at that point. 
"Back." as he was famlllaily called la those 
days, according to the local historian, must hsve 
been a "holy terror," for In a short while after 
his matricnlatlon he had estsUisbed a reputa- 
tion with the faenlty which made him the "fall 
guy" for every act of boflsh mischief perpe- 
trated about the campus or dormltosy hulldlnn, 
WhU« he was "short" notaMy In the Utetsry 
branches, he wss "long" In sthletlcs. baseball 
football, and was the recognized leader of a 
band of kindred spirits, whose exploits have be- 
come fall pages In the town's history. HIb 
personal popularity won tor blm tbe rank of 
Second Ueutenant In the TTnlveralty Batallon cf 
Cadets, bat tbe honor sat lightly on tbe sboold- 
ers of the futnre sbowmsn, and one night he led 
a raid on tiie college mnsenm of his campus 
soldlerB.' and removing from Its caBe a magnlfl- 
ccnt i^^Imen of the taxldermlot's skin in -the 
form o7 a monster hnffalo. placed It'wlth Infinite 
labor on tbe roof of the campus bnllding In 

gromlnent view, and mounted on Iti back a grim 
mnan skeleton holding In Its bony embrace tbe 
"prep" class colors. A storin of Indignation 
ragad In faculty headqnarteni. Tbe young Ilea- 
tenant fell under the eye of ansplclon. and • 
star chamber trial fixed hia gnllt. Tbe cadet 
batallpn was ordered out, _ the gallant .yonng 
ofllcer made to face his brave warriors, the 
Bboalder straps cut from his nobby dress nni- 
form coat, and he was - Ignamlnlonaly reduced 
to tbe ranks. Guilt wore the garb of Innocence 
and a quick wire to Buchanan Sr.. who In tbntie 
days was a polltidaa of wide Inflnenee; carried 
the story to tbe state capital, and to <Ssv««ior 
Mellette, who was a warm personal friend. Ver- 
million was <<lp<>tTlfled and so siso were the 
University anthorttle* a few days later, when 
a bnlky letter wss fielivered to Col. VrtS Bn. 
chanan. cootalning a commlRslon la the Stste 
Mmtls. sad erderinc th4> aeirty-fledged to In- 



spect the University batallon of cadets. With 
the band playing, the swoid gllatening, and the 
gdd chevrons glittering In the snnahlne. he had 
them march and connteimarcb, salnte and re- 
salnte, until boylab vanity was satisfied and bis 
revenge for the diagrace of dlsranklng had been 
sated. This Is tbe story aa they tell It In 
Tennllllon, and Is bow the noted showman wean 
tbe tlUe of Colonel with legal mtllta? right to 
the rank. J. DEIiMAB ANDBBWS.

THE GREAT RAYMOND IN MADRID. 

- <ContInned from page U.) 

apptedathre audience than the Spanldi Ktais and 
Qoeen and their guests. 

Hr. Baymond was in flae f otm, and tbe whde 
show went otf splendidly. Hie royal senrants 
had fitted np a special stage, small bnt admlr- 
ably suited to tbe uses of a conjuror, and equip- 
ped with scenery >nd Ilghtlns effects, in one of 
the masnlflcent ball-rooms, and some ot the 
King ani Queen's private apartments were placed 
at uie disposal of myself and Mr. Baymond tor 
use as dressing rooms. . Fancy, you Billboarders, 
an American magician snafeliig up and preparing 
his trlclu in the King ot Spain's bondoirt 

Their Majestys evinced great plessnie 
thion^Hmt the performance, which lasted a Ut- 
rtle over an bour, and led the applause repeatedly. 
There were thirty ot the royal guests, wUch in- 
doded all tiie principal members ot .tlie^- royal 
family. 

After the performance. King Alfonso sent tor 
the Great Basmond, and personally complimented 
him on his clever entertainment. The monardi 
chatted pleasantly for quite a while, with Mr, 
Baymond, and expressed ' his great satlsfactloh 
and delight with the whole show. Their con- 
veisatlOD was carried' on In English and Spanish 
altemaCely. ; King Alfonso was especially Inters 
■sted in Mr^ Baymond's card and coin manlpnla 
Sons,- and. at bla request Mr. Baymond -repeated 
some ot his 'beat palming methods. Alfonso's 
entlosity was not satisfied, however, until many 
Of the detalU of the conjotoi's art bad been 
tbonm^hly explidned to him. Baymond. how- 
ever, complet^y deceived tlie Kln^ trltfa bis fa- 
mous trunk mystery, which trick.: dosed' the 
show, and both King and Queen laughed .heart- 
ily at their several unsuccessful attempts to 
guesa **bow it was done.'* 

Alfonso Kni. Is one of the most genial of 
kings, witty at repartee, buoyant in-bls hnmn, 
and loves a joke. His Msjesty and Mr. Bay- 
mond Iiad quite a lot to say to each other, and 
the fcequeni Iraghter shawled ^'at- Raymond's 
sparklUig wit'bad f(Sand not only a regal but a 
delighted and appreciative listener. Whlliuk 
away the time, during^'a short Intermission, the 
King sat dovrn at the piano and played some 
ap-to-date selections In very masterly atyle. 

It was with regret that our stay..0nally drew 
to a dose, and we took our departure from the 
^ Palace, tar we were due- to give our -evening 
show at thetCIrco Parish afterwards. Mr. Ray- 
mond's appesrsnce on the stage ot the Circo Par* 
Ish at exactly midnight- was the signal foe aa 
onthuESt of lond cheering from a packed. Jammed 
house. His command! performance bas bad :ths 
effect of selling our the entile lioose for the-ie- 
malnder ot the week.' 

And now that the sll-Important event has been 
and gone, and we have 'received our Jeweled 
decorations ' In honor of tbe command, -we go 
back tot a moment to our dreams of those fas- 
cinating "bobbles." ttoee nmch-erltlKsed "ha- 
. rems," those chic cbapeaux de la ultima mods, 
the excitement or„ue bnn fights, the gay 
ng of the boolevards. ab"d all the rest of It, 
I tbe Great Baymond suddenly looms upon 
giving us a rude awakening with the puns 
Bother startllOE nioston. 

LCELLA CBOSS-BAYMOKO. 



I was glad to hear that Charlie ,Mbe is to 
have the management of the Star & Garter at 
Chicago. Charlie is a good , fellow and a .com- 
petent man. He iB anre to make good In )• 
new position. 

I don't believe that there Is a living soul In 
burlesque wbo wlU not shed a silent tear at the 
passing of Benny Jansen. who died of spinal 
meningitis, at tais borne In New York a ten 
days ago. Ben was not thirty years old and Imd 
been for several years with the firm of Hnrtlv 
& Seamon, creating quite a record In the prln- 
dpal comedy role. Ben was -widely known and 
was a favorite everywhere. He Is succeeded In 
his old role by bis clever brother Charlie.

PATENT CO.'S REVIEWS. 

(Continued from page 51.) 

TIK AND TOE. Sellg. Drama. length, 1,000 ft. 
Beleased May 25. 
The method ot adopting different short noema 
and creating photoidays therefrom Is. a custom 
coming into use more and more all the time 
as the supply of good scenarios becomes smaller. 
In this film the poem Himian Hearts, by Hal 
Beed is used as a basis for the story. If not 
really as the story itself. If the poem were more 
familiar to the ordinary thutre goer, the picture 
would have more effect -no doubt, but' even- im- 
known to the public, the film Is still of Interest.. 
ISie poem Is not especially well suited to a pic- 
ture production, and considering this tbe film 
Is well done. 



SPOKES IN THE WHEELS. 

(Caatbmed fMm page U.) - 

Some weeks eeo t said that Jacobs & Jo- 
mon would stni taave more diowa on flip Kastem 
Wheel and It wasn't very lonif before tbe news 
came out ot their forfber acquisitions. I fold 
yoa to watch them laaw and they taave grown 
but. to my mind, somewhat too fast to estsbllsh 
the solidity to necessary In these precarious 
days ot subterfuge' and^apltallstte legerdemain.

GOOD TUBH. IiUbln, Drama. Xength, 1,000 

feet. Beleased May IS. 
A little different type of story Is portrayed In 
this aim, some very good comedy being Inter- 
spersed with the main plot. The play Is well 
acted and some very good scenes presented. 
Tbe ballroom scene Is especially good. Tbe 
Story Is of two bnrglars who enter a house In 
time to prevent a man committing suicide and 
thns enabling Iilm to marry tbe girl he was 
In love with. Ite this act Vbe burglars are all- 
lowed to leave In peace. 

?srn>airrn Patbe. Drama. length, 945 
feet. Beleased May 26. 

In- this -colored film we are siiown some splen- 
did scenes and some very good ensemble acting. 
Tbe plot Is very clear and very simple, as 'are 
ma)iy-of -the plots'ln tbe stories -which surroimd 
royalty, bnt the whole play is splendidly put 
on and very spectacular. 

XANGXED LIVES. Kalem. Drama. Length, 
1,000 feet. Beleesed May 26. 
In tills story a most admirable stoiy Is pre- 
sented, but It Is given a very peculiar sort of 
production. A few of the scenes are markedly 
poor, while many are very finely done. The story 
Is set on the frontier of American civilization, 
while' the Indians were still a menace to life 
and property. The peenltar workings of fate 
and sentlm'ent are Admirably shown, and while 
the main substance 'of the story Is a sad one, 
it has a happy end and is therefore pleasing. 

AI£ E'OB JSOSET. Fathe. Drama. Length, 
I.OOO feet. Beleased May 27. 
This Is a capital film from start to finish. It 
Is melodramatic In theme, but splendidly acted 
and entirely pleasing. We have often seen the 
-villain who will do almost anytUng to a woman 
In order to obtain her money, but In this case 
a different sort of villain Is shown, and tbe 
woman escapes his plot In a novel and enter- 
taining way. Of course, a love story, and In 
this case an Interesting one, accompanies -the 
story and forms a part ot It. 

THE riBES OF FATE. Vltagrapb. Drama. 
Length. 1.000 teet. Bdeased May 2T. 
This film tens a very clasrieai story and deals 
with the mytliolaglcal religion of olden times. 
This sort ot story Is usually not very difficult 
to present and likewise does not meet with 
overwhelming success. 'We venture to say, how- 
ever, that It Is one of tbe best classics we 
have seen. The scenery Is well gotten up in 
parts, altbough not all the way tbroogh, and 
the action brought out by only a few people, 
tbus maJdng it very dear.

A SUCCESSFUL PLAYWRIGHT. 

Much ot Otto Hanerbach's success ss a play- 
wright In tbe new field which he entered less 
than three years ago, is doe to a newspaper ap- 
prenticeship. He was one ot tbe reporters on 
the old Daily Kewa, -wlien Uunsey iMugbt it. 

After tbe sad errata tbat terminated Ita ex- 
istence he went bto the advertising business 
with the George C. Batten Company. This was 
in 1904. It waa while writing copy for some 
ot the biggest advertising firms in the worli) 
tbat Hauerbach found be conid write lyrics. 
Through Mr. Batten, the composer, Mr, Baner- 
baeh met Karl Hoactana and formed a combi- 
nation that has been entirely successful from 
every point of view, and which would be bard to 
lieat. 

In less thsn three yesrs Otto Hanerbadi baa 
written the lyrics or the iHMk or both tor 
musical comedy ■neeenea. a wonderful achieve- 
ment. Four of them were written and prodncei' 
tbb season. The commission*, wbleb Iia lias 
not been able to fill fOr tack of time, annri 
him of a permanent place In musical comedy I 
he Is willing to stay in that field. 



CLAIMS CONFLICTING REGARD- 
ING HOFFMANN. 



Apropos of the revival of Offenbach's opera 
comique. The Tales of Hoffmann this spring by 
tbe five Abom English Grand Opera Companies 
in Boston. Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Bsltlmoce 
and WaFhIngton, there have been a nnmber Of 
misststements In newspaper rolnmns regarding 
the original presentation, both In Bngllsb and 
In French, of this opera b America. 

Under Its eriginal title of I,fs Cnntes d'HoS- 
mann. It was given In French for tbe first time 
in this country at the Tlvoll Onera House, in 
San FraiiclBco. on September 25. IftRS. The 
next presentation of It on this side of tbe 
Atlsntle was on October 16, 1882. by Manrlee 
Gran's French Company, at the Fifth Avenue 
Theatre, in New York. A quarter of a cen- 
tnry then dapsed before It was again given In 
the United States, the next revival ot thia 
charming opera comique being given by Oscar 
Hammerstein's Manhattan Opera Company In 
New York, wbose first presentation of Lea 
Contes d'Boffmsan was made on KoTcmbrr IS. 
1907. and this organisation piwsentrd It eleven 
times during that aeaaon. Up to tbat time it 
had never been sung In English In this country. 

The first presents tlon of Tbe Tales of Hoff- 
msnn. In EngllKh. In America, -was made by 
the Abom English Grsnd Opera Company on 
February S. at the Brooklyn Grand Opera 
House, where they rave nine performances of 
this work In the vemacnUr. bnt under the tit's 
of Hoffmann's Love Tales. In tbe eprlng ot the 
same year, the same company presented It nine 
times In Phlbdelphia and eight times in Wash- 
ington. . 

ne next presentation ot tbb opera in Kngllsl. 
-waa made by a stock company at tbe OInhe 
Theatre. In Chicago, then called the Interna- 
tional, on Not. SO, 1908, 

Hammerstein kept It In hb repertoire (in

(Continued from page S.) 

Behtcrs, and the tumult of the ipectatora, was 
the sound ot exploding cartridges used in the 
shooting galleries and the popping of incandescent 
bulbs. The shots exploded with the rapidity of 
machine sons and drove the firemen from their 



The old Iron pier, which was part of Dream- 
land, and the other pier, on whlcli the dance 
hall was built, wrre totally destroyed. 
Aboot four o'clock the old steel observatltm 

tower, just pRKt of the Dreamland enclosure, 
colUpsed with a crash. 

When the firemen arrWed It was feared that 
the electric wires, which are criss-crossed 
through Coney, would binder the flre-flghtlng. 
Chief Electrician CaBer Jumped down Into the 
manhole and at the risk of his life tore loose 
the cables' from their connections. A few 
moments later a string of wires fell, sweeping 
policemen and spectators to the ground, and It 
was only Calter's thougbtfnlness la dlaconneGtlng 
.. . the cables that saved them from fatal electric 
shocks. 

The fire continued In Its nath, reaching Flet 
man's establishment where It was checked. Hail 
It gone beyond this point there Is ao donbt bat 
tbat Steeplechase Park would now be eonnted 
In itae toll of the fire. 

Fred McGlellan. manager of Lnna Park, was 
on the scene directing his men In preventing the 
fire from reaching Luna. Spares fell on the 
llc-btly-constracted bolMings and started small 
blazes but these were beaten ont before any dam- 
age could be done. 

Not until after six o'clock did Cblet Lally an 
nounce' that the fire was under control. Samuel 
Gumpettx, manager of Dreamland, ststed that 
the loss entailed .would run Into hundreds of 
tbonsanda of dollars. 

Tbrllling rescues and the display of courage 
bv the Bre-flgbters followed one after amither. 
Many of the people when awakened -In Dream- 
land found dlfflcnlty In escaplnir the flames, and 
much Is due to the bravery of tl)e firemen and 
the helpers tbat nobody waa klUedf 

Early rumors conveyed the reports that Harry 
Tudor has suffered a broken leg and Capt. lack 
Bonavita severe boras In carrying on the work 
of rescue. Both tbese rumors were false. Iiow- 
ever, as tbe writer cenTersed witb each ot tbe 
men after the- lire was snbdned. The devaated 
mass smoldered all day Saturday and Sunday, 
for which reason many streams of hoses were 
kept steadily - directed at the heaps of debris. 
A few of the firemen received minor injuries but 
none were fatally burned. 

It was a pathetic sight to sre Thomas Crow- 
ley, assistant cashier of Dreamland, exblblting 

a ring of keys to the park, wblcb but a few 
hours before ■ stocd up in pride at tbe sweet 
words Frank WUstadi had aald abont It. A 
monster key, thicker and longer than the rest- 
had closed the big gatf .of Dreamland shortly 
before the disaster, for the last time. 

Charles Nesensohn, the official photographer 
of Dreamland's press department, lost his val- 
luble collection of cameras and photographs. 

The razed portion of the biK Coney Island 
pleasareland extended from Captain Lonls Sor- 
cho'a Deep Sea Divers building to tbe big steel 
roller coaster as yet nnftnlshed. This big fire- 
proof coaster did, however, lose a number of 
Its wooden ties in the rear portion of the 
structure. Captain Sorcho's e3lclent flre-fightlnc 
Is all that saved bis structure. Chamber's Phar- 
macy and Johann Jurgen's clever multi-motioned 
caronsel. known as EI Dorado. 

Dnrlns this week, Bristol's Bestanrant has a 
little Hon cub, the sole remaining member of 
Its family. In Its window as a relic and souvenir 
of tbe castrophe. The little fellow feels per- 
fectly happy In bla glass-caged surroundings, ex- 
cent for the fact that he misses the pup with 
which be had constantly plaved. Tbe canine 
perished in tbe lire. 

The amnsement places and accessories de- 
stroyed were: Press department and postal 
telegraph office, the Dreamland hospital. Dream- 
land oiBce banding. The Sacrifice, a Biblical 
show; shooting gallery, two postcard stands, tbe 
incubator bnllding. Hell Gate, Seven-In-One, li. 
A. Thompson's Scenic Bailway. restaurant and 
bar. Tbe Orient, another concession; skating 
rink. Dreamland pier, shoot-the-chntes, Japanese 
tea garden. Dreamland fwer, The Great Divide 
railway: The Pit. The Siege of BIrbmond. The 
Diving Venns. Creation, another - Biblical play: 
several shooting galleries, the Dreamland en- 
trance, Ferari's animal show, Stubenbord's Hotel 
on Surf Avenue. I.ent'B Hotel on Snrf Avenue 
near West Tenth Street. Sanentetta photograph 
gallery on Surf Avenne the Bifle Bange on Surf 
Avenue, a section of this giant roller coaster, a 
small restauraat, adjoining the roller coaster. 
Stratton Hotel on Snrf Avenne, a number of 
small souvenir stsnds and shooting galleries, 
the Snrf Avenne entrance to Dreamland, Pike's 
Peak, scenic railway; Creation, cafe: Johnson's 
Hotel. The Whirlwind and Balmer's bathing pa- 
vilion. 

It Is very foVfunste for the park bnslness thn' 
the fire occurred at night sfter all visitors hart 
left Dreamland, otherwise there might bave 
been a tremendous toll of human life and every 
park In the country would have suffered from de- 

Sletlon of patronage as the theatres did after 
ke Iroquois Theatre fire In Chicago. 
The origin of tbe fit* Is a mystery. One 
theory is tbat a kettle of tar, with which 
several workmen were tarring the roof ot one of 
the coQcesslnns in Dreamland was upset and 
gave Inception to a blase which aooa got beyond 
control. This mmor. la corroborated by a local 
apetbecary, who says that a few mlnote* sfter 
the fire Is premined to have started, a man 
came to him fnr treatment -of n hro'ten finger 
and n hand, bnrneil by tar. 

The burned elephant In the Fers. - Show was 
the property - of Frank C, Boatnek aod waa to 
have been shIppM to England next week. 

One of tbe Ferari wild animal trainers had 
' not been located up to an early hour Sunday 
morning. Be was a new man and bis name 
could not be learned. Joe Rmuell. another ot 
the trainers, was not located till late Satarday 
When he turned up In front of the smoklns alte 
of Dreamland In a daxi'd condition. 

Altogether Colonel Ferari lost shout sixty 
animals, there being twfnty lions, several 
llamas, wolves, seals, ponies, leopsrds and 
tigers. The animals were partly Innnred. Dur- 
ing Satnrdar the site of Ferari's Animal 
Show was Cleared of dehrls anil tbe rescued 
animals having been transferred to the old 
Ferari carnival wagons were exWhIted behind 
the carved carnival front which the Colonel has 
bad in storage In New York. This resourceful 
coup was the wonder ot all wbo saw and tbe 
visitors patronised the Impnivlsed show In great 
nnmbera. The carnival front waa 'a new depart- 
ure and the fieople "fairly ate It op." Its con- 
ception was a real showman's device and It will 
gala many thonsands of dollars for Ferari while 
other coneesslonera are rehalldlns thetr places. 



The cables of the rigging of the bicycle and 
sllde-for-Ufe act of Howard saved the great 
central tower from falling on the animal abow. 

The rehnUdlng of Dreamland Is still a matter 
ot speculation. Though partly covered by In- 
surance the net loss to Its owners reaches - into 
six figures, and Its reconstruction would occupy 
all the balance of the present season, and per- 
haps part of tbe next. It had been remodeled In 
all Its principal features and newly painted 
thronghont. This new coat of paint contrib- 
uted largely to the rapidity with which the 
flames spread. The Individual concessions and 
accessories along Surf avenue, the walks and tbe 
Pier, where combined In a mutual Insurance and 
their general- loss will make each Indivldnal loss 
almost a total one. 

Captain Louis Sorcho, whose Deep Sea Divers 
are located In the bunding at the comer of 
Dreamland Pier and Surf Avenue, and In which 
Hagen'g Fighting the Flames was located year 
before last and Uorrls' Music Hall last season, 
saved the building and his attractions only bv 
tbe most heroic fighting of the flames. His 

men all worked like Trojans, and witb Jodlclous 

direction from the donghty Captain they man- 
aged to keep a little wall of water between the 
fire on the opposite side of tlie pier walk, and 
the Divers' building, which was scorched and 
charred badly on the side next to Dreamland. 
In some places the edges -of tbe roof were 
burned away, and If It bad not been for the 
plaster board covering of the building. It wonid 
undoubtedly have burned, notwithstanding the 
efforts of Sorcho and his men. 

It is Sorcho's building and Sorcho's work, that 
the concessionaires east of his place, including 
El Dorado, have to thank for their escape from 
the holocaust. 

Ifarry Tudor had to stand by and see Crea- 
tion, of which he was manager, burned to the 
ground. He will sail for "London next week to 
Join Frank Bostock. Tudor'a wife, who has 
been suffering from a broken ankle for several 
weeks, was rescued from their bnngalow be- 
fore the flames reached it, as was hia Uttle 
daughter. 

Many showmen and concessioners narrowly es- 
caped death in the flames that spread rapidly, 

Luna Park. Steeplechase and the various con- 
cessions Tcmainlng at Coney Island will proSt by 
thrlr neighbors' loss, as the patronage will be 
diverted to them.

tnnltles to those having midway attractions.

PARKER CARNIVAL NOTES. 

Leavenworth. Kan., May 25. — W. D. Cohn, 
one of the advance men for Parker Shows No. 
1, was a visitor at headnuarters today and re- 

Sorts phenomenal business with the shows, 
plendld weather has been the rule, and they are 
taking advantage of it to break the records. 
Edward's Animal Show, a famous collection of 
small animals, birds, snakef; and monkeys, has 
Joined the shows. This will be a great attrac- 
tion, as Edwards carries animals that no one 
else in the U. S. has. This show Is In addition 
to the ble trained wild animal circus, the fea- 
ture of No. 1. 

A number of cars have been added to No.' 1 
since the opening, the total number now being 
thirty-three. TIiIr is a record number for a 
carnival, and sbould give an Idea as to the sice 
of the shows. 

KImer Collins and I. J. Noggie. prominent 
amusement men. each purchased a three-abreast 
carry-ns-all at tbe Psirker factories this week. 
Tbese were beantlfnl maeblnes. being built es- 
pecially for tbem. 

Mr. Parker states that business is simply great. 
Five machines are being built at one time, 
and then orders pile up. The working spare bas 
been doubled in slr.e this spring to handle the 
rapidly Increasing demand. Ontdnor amusement 
men who come here sav this will be a great 

{'ear, and are backing their confidence by buy- 
ng new amusement devices st tbe Parker plant. 



CARNI VAL N OTES. 

The Barkoot Carnival Co. was nearly wiped 
olt the lot by a cyclone at YpslIanIL Mich., re- 
cently, Tbe first night the weather was beantl- 
tnl and everyone was In high spirit; expecting a 
banner week, as tbe Froemaeons were deeply 
Interested In the carnlvars success. . The next 
day tbe weather changed about noon, wben 
clouds gathered from all points of the compass. 
The storm broke, and the first one to suffer waa 
Wm. Williams' Spectacular Electric Extrava- 
ganza. It turned over his front and tore up 
tblnga generally: it ie stated his lose is easily 
$5,000. nis brother. Chas. Williams, was the 
next to feel Its effect. It Just flattened his 
tent ont as If It were a pancake. Tbe next in 
line was the "nny Mlfe show, whlck was almost 
blown away; and the top of Manager Barkoot'a 
ofllce-wagon was carrjed away. Emo, the Turtle 
Boy's tent waa Itterallr'tom to ribbons, as .was 
alao the tent of Fanchon's Flamous Merry Musics! 
Sfalds. The front of Ralph Smith's Crasy Bonsa 
and the Kataenjammer' Castle were dsmaged 



slightly, tbe animal show was also blown down 
The concessions were damaged as follows: Mor- 
ris Miller's country store, wrecked; Habeek

400 Michigan University stujlentg-caja^ ever and 
started to rash tbe shows <wi«B9M>i%£ilK, and 
It took every .man In the cai^%fl:-^^^Hf to

Two showmen of 4he Northwest nnlle^lB form- 
ing The Capitol City Amusement Company... an 
Industrial and mercantile exhibition traveling in 
tbrlr own new train of cars. H. h. Hlne, who 
made a success of the Cash & Hine Sbows tor 
the past few years. Is the manager of tbe new 
ompany. -and l.ew Hoffman, who was of the 
great Hoffman & Wcilcr Shows, la the treas- 
urer of the new company. The company has 
been Incorporated and the title registered. It 
will consist of six new sixty-foot ars, nine 
shows, a ferrls wheel, a twentieth-century carry- 
ns-all, -and four sensational free attractions,

tents are also all new this year. The company 
aA a -vriiole should - present a pretty sight vrben

Herbert A. Kline's Carnival showed at Flint, 
Mich.. May 24. to very good business. It Is 
said tbe attendance was somewhat over 8,000 
people. One of the Flint papers bad quite a 
wrlte-np on the dog and monkey act witb the 
show and says In part: "Tbe Don Carlos dog 
and monkey liotel Is uudoubtedlv the best act 
of Ita kind ever produced In tbis coimtry. It 
was secured at great expense by Mr. Kline, who 
Indneed the owner to turn down a contract with 
a Western vaudeville booking company for a 
solid year at $S00 per week. Those who hare 
seen dog and monkey shows in vaudeville the- 
atres will appreciate the superiority of the 
Don Carlos tronpe." Prof. Ruhl. with bis flea 
circus, was well-patronized, and the crowds 
went away convinced that Job had nothing on 
the professor when It comes to patience. Herr 
Granada and Alma Fedora, Ugh-wlre artists, 
held tbe spectators spell-bound by their marvel- 
ous feats on the high wire.

JOHN POWELU -ff 

John Powell, remember that name. Xon'II 
hear It asain t>efore so rery long and yoa'll 
hear It often and la any psrt of the coantry yon 
happm to be ttaTcllng. John PowelL 

Mm Powell to an American plantot. I heard 
Urn here, this week, at the Salle Erard. and a 
more magnificent performance it has nevcT been 
my good fortune to hear. Jean de Reaike. the 
famona singer, was there, and be led In the 
applanae. And when the concert was orer. in 
a burst of enthnslaam he declared that Powell 
was the eqnal of any living pianist. He la very 
probably correct. 1 have beard most of them — 
•de Pachmann. Padorewgkl. Baner and the rest — 
and I most admit that from my hamble vlew- 
polnt Powell Is the peer of the beat of them. 
While he was playing Liszt's Concerts Patbe- 
tiqne. one of the most masterly Interpretatloos 
I "« erer heard. 1 coold not get Hd of the 
Idea that the piano waa a great black thing, en- 
dowed with life and eloquence that had got 
wwo on Its hands and knees and crawled to 
Its maiter to be caressed and put through Its 
wmderfal "atnnta." And though I'm prob- 
JOV better qnallfled to criticise dramatic pro- 
anetlooa than mnslcal ones, there are real ex- 
t>wta la ParU whose crltlqnea bear me out 
when I aay that these "stunta" prored PoweU 
to be a gemdne maater. 

Mia new pianist— new to the United Statea, 
I mean— li ctnder SO years of age. yet he haa 
taken London, Berlin, Vienna and Paris by

thto account he has been all the more npset

"WE HAVE IT!" 

On the morning of Tuesday, May 16, the 
Chicago Inter Ocean {published one [of the most 
sensational editorials in the history of popular 
music, consuming with reproductions of the orijgi- 
nal manuscripts, a i)hotograph of Madame Ernes- 
tine Schumann-Heink and editorial /(herewith 
reproduced) almost one-half page. 

The story, which is NOT "press agent's 
stuff," will convince anyone of the. sincerity of 
Madame Schumann-Heink when she spoke in'such 
glowing terms of this wonderful coruposition.' 

There is 'real romance back of Jlthe entire 
affair, as anyone will readily observe. The ; story 
of a car porter who has struggled for years to gain 
recognition and — but just read this clipping from 
thejChicago Inter Ocean for the real facts. 

K Row Let's Get Down to CoM Turkey 

Within six hours after the paper was placed on 
the news stands EVERY MUSIC PUBLISHER 
IN CHICAGO WITHOUT EXCEPTION was 
trying in every conceivable way to get into 'coth- 
mtmicatiQn with the composers — but— "B.J& K." 
enterprise won out again.

CINCINNATI— NEW YORK— CHICAGO 



June 10, 1911. 



THE F RIARS' F ROLIC 

Tour of the Ensembled Stage Celebrities Attended with Financial and Artistic 

Success in AH Cities Visited 

(Oomplete Program of the SVlara Entertainment Is given on page 58, of this issnei. 



While tlie tour of the Friars has not ended. 
It Is safe to S87 that considered from a finan- 
cial as well as artistic standpoint; the entire 
Dip will be a saccess in latter propcvtionB than 
anticipated hy the most sanguine. The tour 
began in New York on Sunday night. May 28, 
at the New Amsterdam Theatre. Ten thou- 
sand dollars was realized. Success In other 
cities on the route were the rule, and in Cin- 
cinnati. Friday evening, June 2. the Friars 
played to a $6,000 audience. 

The special train carrying the galaxy of 
stars, was scheduled to reach Cincinnati at 9 
o'clock Friday morning, but ten minutes before 
9 a rush and scurrying al»out of trainmen 
at the Pennsylvania station . announced that tho 
Ftlars were In town. A squad of police met 
the troopers at the train and escorted them 
through the principal streets of the. eity. At 
the City Hall Mayor Scbwat> welcomed tbem In 
the nnme of Cincinnati, and delivered the fol- 
lowing well chosen words of welcome: 

Members of the Friars' Club — "Benedlcte. 
sweet brothers.*' Whence you come and whither 
you go. I linow not, but I judge from your name 
that you emulate the friars of the early centu- 
ries!, who exercised their energies to spread the 
gospel of mercy, and for that reason I hope 
you will let it go out to tbo world that your 
ittl»;sion (m «artb Is one of mercy, and that you 
will appeal to the mnltitude, because your pur* 
poiie is pure and your cause is Just. 

I have seen many of you behind the foot- 
lights, and have, like thousands of others, been 
delighted with what I heard yoa say and what 
I $aw you flo. Tou are a benefit to the hu- 



man family^ in that yon delight people, you 
instruct them, and yon send them away from 
your places of entertainment and amusement 
feeling better for having visited you. I bave 
heard you sing, when, by your songs and by 
your antics, you made me laugh, and I have lis- 
tened to you, until. like hundreds of others 
I wept like a child. How precXoas it is to be 
able in yonr work to touch the nobler senti- 
ments of the sonl. 

I once asked a very distinguished lady, who 
was high in theatrical reputation and an emo- 
tional actress, why it was that she played to 
make men weep and if she herself won^d weep 
while thus playlni' and she said that she wept 
in her plays and played tbem with all the 
fervor of her soul, because she felt that to 
make the ronghest and most > indifferent per- 
sons weep was to make them better for . the 
honr, and, perhaps, better for all time to come. 

And so, my friends. In your work, whether 
you make men cry or laugh, yon make them 
better while they are listening and better for 
the lesson that you seek to impart. 

I am glad that you have come to our pe<^Ie, 
to be with them if for nnly a nl^ht rluit yon 
may delight them with yonr service of song snd 
words. I understand that you are entirely alone 
and have not bronght your ladies with you. 
Not haying brought them with you. permit me 
to compliment you npon your genteel appear- 
anc»% for I beg of you to feel that I am sure 
that without them you can not long well suc- 
ceed. The Good Book has said that it is not 
well for man to live alone, hut it has not said 
that It was not well for woman to live alone. 



which means that we as men are perhaps the 

more helpless of the two. > 

I have no key of the city to give 70a, be- 
cause the key of our city is lost and onr gates 
are always open. We are glad to receive yon 
within our walls, and if perchance you make 
yourselves as attractive- as yoa look, we may 
ask onr departments to search for the ke>-, 
lock the gates, and keep yon here forever. Be 
assured that I i%gard this visit as a compli- 
ment, not only to the office I represent but to 
the four hundred tlionsand people of this great 
mtmicipality. and in their name I bid yon ttirice 
welcome. In Longfellow we read "that — 

"Witlaof. a king of the Saxons; 

Ere yet his last he breathed: 
To the merry monks of : Croyland. 

His : :drinkins-cap bequeathed. 

**That whenever they sat at their revels. 
And drank from the golden bowl; 

They might remember the donor. 
And breath a prayer for bis soul.** 

1 will not ask - you to pray, bnt may I not 
ask yon to sing Just a verse of the song of the 
EYiars' Club? 

Tlie mayor's remark were met with a rous- 
ing cheer from the Friars and the crowd of 
city hail employees, newspaper representatives, 
and others who bad congregated to bid wel- 
come to the Friars. A verse of the Friars* Song 
was rendered, and met with tumultuous ap- 
plause. Next Scott Small, safety director of 
Cincinnati, made a few remarks, and Invited

afternoon, escorted by Thomas I*. Evans, pri-

Home, and later tooK special cars to the Bill

New York, Jane 3 (Spedsl to Tbe BlUboaidl. 
— The Casino Theatre was the scene of a sala 
mlviil of Gilbert and Sullivan's merry old 
Pinafore, Iwloved by tbe pnblic for a generation 
or two. Entlmsiastle groups of old-time ttaeatre- 
goors and anxlons parties of present-day at- 
tendants eagerly arranged to tatce in the lolly 
o<d English success that lias so oft be.-n re- 
lated at the winter fireside when old folks be- 
came reminiscent and tndnlged themselves to 
dally wltlL the memories of tbe pleasures of 
tbe past. 

Pinafore was always very enjoyable — but 
this revival was drslgced to make it still more 
so, by assigning the various roles to American 
favorites, as a glance at the cast will corrob- 
orate. A rare <-oIIectIon of theatrical masters 
had been corralled for the late season presen- 
tation of the merry mnalcal comedy by producer 
Kmiiam A. Beady. Imt well he knew that their 
capability wnald sssnre the piece a satisfactory 
run on the Xew Tork Blalto. 

The Times contribntes - In part the following: 
**From tbe time^ the cnrtain went np on tbe 
first act and the andience saw the trim deck of 
the Pinafore, with its solid mast and intricate 
Tigglnir to the Toasing finale of the last act. 
the applause was almost continuons. Every 
sonir -was encored, and some were repeated over 
and over, until the opera that is only long 
enoogli nsnally to make a part of an evp- 
mng's entertainment, ran almost two hours. It 
teemed as If the people could not get enonsh 
of Balpb Rackstraw's first song, or Sir Joseph's 
Introduction, or the dnet between Ralph and 
Josephine, or the rondel of the three sailors, 
and For He's an Englishman, and Dlcfc Dead- 
-eye's ..Important Information were demanded 
..si>.ofteiL..tliat tb^^ conductor of the orchestra had 
to shift to the succeeding airs before the ap- 
plause snbslded. 

*To tell anything aboat PloJifore wonld be 
like repeating, any other familiar story. If 
there were people In the andience who had not 
seen the piece before they mnst have known all 
about It from their patents- Xittle Bnttercnp, 
tbe Caiitaln. and his daoghter.. Josephine, the 
noble sailor, the embittered Dick Deadeye^ the 
Admiral Sir Porter, to say notliins of bis 'sis- 
ters and bis . cousins and > bis annts,* ar» or, 

anyhow, were and will : v be again household 
■■• names.' 

•The cast of Pinafore bad the merit of 

t<~;iin^woTk as well as indiviftuai qnallty. ' Louise 
fliinning: *»s .Tos<'r>l"np. was In : Pne Vnlce and 
gave a spirited performance. Marie Cahill made 
a phimp and pretty Little Buttercup, and tbe 
aiuliencf^ liked her singing, parrieolarjy her 
duet with the Captain in the second act. Alice 
Brady as Hchei sot eonsld-rahle ipnre Into, or 
out of. the smalt role than it wonld seem to 
possess. 

"Henry E. Di.tev. with lithesome less, plared 
Sir Joseph, the rnl» he bad in the Metronolltan 
Opera Honso revival ten years ago. In the 
trio with the Cantain nod Josephine he danceil 
all Of .the encores and presented sf,iiie tmlv 
r^ark^ble steps. George J. JlacFarlane's 
tant. Corcoran W.1S well plarnd ami well sunc 
and I>eWnlf Hopper's Dick Peadev- was amiis. 
insly horrible t» look at: and to listen to. His 
comedy ^was very funny. 

"The tenor role of Ralph Rackstraw was 
snng by, Arthur; Aldridge. an English singer, 
who has not . appeared before In America ex-- 
ccpt In concert and vaadeviUe. The andience 
warmed to him at once and made him ' repeat 
all of his solos. He has a remnrkably dear. 
riUl tone, ana sings with natural expression 
thjt Is loost nioasmg. Eiiiecf Cowles In t'v 
^le of Bill T>of>staj-. made his one solo. For 
He s en Englishman, one of the features of 
tlie score. 

: The American is onoted. ns follows: "Tr was 
an all-star revival of the Gilbert and Snlliven 
work in every sense. Tbe principals were good 

and so was the chorus. ■ 

■nt"P%. Hopper shone. In the role of 

IMck Deaneye lils melmlramatic voice stoofl him 
In good stead. His make-np spoke volnmes for 
this modom phase of theatrical craftsmanship. 
His incidental work was excellent and he 
kept the amlience in cood humor. 

"Henry E. nixer looked the nart of a real 
admiral sntiicient. but not eminent. 

"The tenor was Arthur Aldrldge. who sang 
rh** role of Rapl.-«--trair in a hfg. fnll war thtt 
told. He -was plea^inir in appearance, and th** 
Sullivan mn*»ic sounded good as he rendered It 
.Vs lie >.Tng it was with difnciiltv tlist tlio and'- 
lence refrained from humming the old familiar 

. airs. He made the past rome back, and tiie 
street ditties of a generation ago seem a part 

' of . today. ' Pinafore was idive again. 



"Uarie Cahill was Little Buttercnp and a 
nice one. It says in the text that she is plump. 
The andience laughed when tbe words came 
back to them. But they liked her and showed 
it at every opporttmity. 

"Little Alice Brady was a feature of the 
performance. She is delightfully natural and is 
fast liecoming a favorite in Broadway produc- 
tions. She was liberally applanded. There is 
also George J. . MacFarlane to lie mentionedt and 
ceitainly Eugene Cowles and the excellent cbo- 
ma."

theatres in which they acquired their success, 
resumption of active presentation of two Eng- 
lish successes, which en]o.vod a similar dis- 
jnd revivals of old-time favorites and former- 
Jay succeasea. The current week witnessed the 
tinctinn on the western side of the Atlantic. A 
Country Girl, with Its pervading humor and 
tuneful melodies, met with much favor In New 
tork. at Daly's Theatre, several seasons ago. 
taking a conspicuous place In that period of 
English musical cotnedlCR when the word "girl" 
played so Important a part In the titles ot the 
imvluctlons. Tlx: A Runaway Girl, A Gaiety 
"Irl. A Circus Girl, etc. 

.V capable cast entered Into the spirit of the 
revival with all the energy desired and worked 
op a few points and lines that never tx>fore 
wmcd to possess the quality of dlstlnctlve- 
aosa. The cleverness ot their work most cer-

Daly successes. A. Conntrr Girl Is by no means 
the worst of the 'girl* series, neither to M the

with no special pun to bother one; very pret-

lacking in vulgarity.

a farewell dinner by Mrs. Ben Teal, at whici 
were present Mr. and Mrs. Max Hart, Field* 
and Lewis, Mile. Dazle, Tempest aod Sunshine, 
Ethel Levey and other prominent people. 



for the very good reason tliBt there wag not 
a loaded cartridge at hand. 

The master, Ferari. and the trainers. Bona- 
vita, Becardo and Reverio. carried pistols, bat 
they were all loaded, as is the custom. witlL 
blank cartridges. Wild animals are blntFed 
with blanks, not bullets. 

In the mad scramble of the leporters to get 
at the facts, very much that was pnre fiction, 
and' little that was solid fact, came to lights 
The : ongamlsbed story, stripped of excited dic- 
tion Vand .extravagant invention, has not yet 
been told. 

CaDtraTy,.to the story related by all the pa- 
pers next day. Joseph G. Ferail did not sleq^ 
In a room over the animal arena. Tbera were 
two entrances to this bnildlng. one from Surf 
avenue, and the other inside the park. Jnst op- 
po^te the tower. In the front of the latter 
doorway, Ferari had placed two wagons, one oi^ 
each side of the entrance. The first of these 
was a sleeping wagon, and the other was used- 
as an office. They were most commodlons, 
ijeautlfully carved, and in the panels were ar- 
tistic paintings of wild animal life. These 
wagons formed the background for tbe buIylioO' 
stand. 

In the sleeping wagon that nlgbt vrete Mr. 
and Mrs. Ferari and their little daughter. Mar- 
guerite. Boring the quiet of tbe early morn- 
ing, the animals having been fed abont two:^ 
hours before. Immediately after the perfwm- 
anee. Mrs. Ferari lieard the rumble of what she 
took to be one of the hose carts which were 
kept on the grounds. She awakened her hus- 
band, saying: "Jo, I am afraid there la a Are- 
on the grounds." 

Ferari jumped from bis bed and looked oat 
of tbe window. : Hell Gate's entrance wa> less 
than a hnndred feet away, and he dlscorasd 
that It was a mass of flames. Be bustled OD 
his clothes, and telling bis wife to run 'out of 
the grounds with Marguerite, ran Into the an- 
imal house. By this time the wild beasts. In- 
cluding Iilttle Hip. the baby elephant, were 
roaring and trumpeting tnadly. 

The sleeping rooms of the trainers and help- 
ers were located just over the Inside entrance of 
the arena. Ferari ran upstairs crylns to Ills

Theatrical Colony 

for Chicago 



Chicago. May 31 (Special to The BUIboaTd). — 
Otto W. Pellage, bnsiness manager of Powers' 
Theatre, is of tbe Idea that Chicago Is the 
Ideal summer home for actors and to this end 
he has talked with several of tbe noted players 
now In Ciilcago with a view of promotlDg a 
theatrical colony in one of Chicago's snbnrbs, 
similar to the noted ones near New York. It 
Is his belief that a move of this kind will mean 
better attractions for the (Hiicago theatres dar- 
ing the summer and that it will also have a 
tendency to keep a number of the loop theatres 
open during the warm weather. 

When speakiag of this Mr. Pellage cited the 
fact that half of Chicago's loop theatres were 
closed at the present time and that tbe theat- 
rical people of Chicago were hurrying New 
Torkward. The reason of this, he says, is tbv 
they have no place to gather during the hot 
months excepting at stuffy hotels. He is of the 
opinion that If a colony could be fotmded i 
would draw many noted stars to our city. 

When talking tbe matter over with the va- 
rloos stars now appearing In Chicago, they all 
thought . well of the proposition and expressed 
a ' imilngnesB pioTldlnK more acton comd be 



stage by acting qnlte plausibly a general with 
a penchant for telling and reteUlng an old, <dd 
story." 

The story of the play deals with a club <■ 
young fellows who attempt to jilt ■ all women. 
Their purpose, however, is frustrated by an 
tmsopblstlcated 'girl. The action of the play 
commences with George Dsmerel, Harry Pilcer 
and Harold Heaton checking up the women or 
their acquaintance. Tbe scene Is then shifted to 
the father's castle, where in order to gain ad- 
mittance tbe young men disguise as servants and 
guests. Tbe play finishes with .a general **iiapp> 
everafterwaxds" finale.

OF THE WEEK IN CHICAGO 



GOOD BI LL AT A MERICAN 

Belle Baker, a Hold-Over Attraction, Divides Honors with 
Other Numbers on Best Program Since New Man- 
agers Assumed Charge of Theatre 



CUcaeo. June S (Special to Tbe Billboard). — 
There are two peculiar features about tbis 
week's show at tbe American. One U the fact 
that four out of Dlse acts work In tbe audl- 
i^Dce. Tbe otber Is tbat since the Jones. Llnlck 
& Scfaaefer people have secured the boase, this 
la tbe best abow tbey have offered. Wblle tbe 
bill l8 entertalDlng and well worth tbe admlssloa 
price and altboagh as above stated It la the 
best bill shown here in some time. It falla eon- 
Biderably below tbe atandard set t>r William 
Morris, when the Independent manager bad con- 
trol. 

One of the biggest bits on tbe bin tbIs week 

Is that of Belle Raker, baring been tield over 
from last weelc. This weelc tike "shonter** has 
(banged her repertoire sllghtlr. which pleased 
tbe "dollar-a-throw" patrons. When sifting 
out tbe TsriouB acts to Dnd another bit one must 
band It to lobnnjr Uoran's troupe of Japa, The 
Great Asabt Troupe. Tliese little fellows are 
different from tbe conventional line of Jap acts 
and aside from one turn of foot balancing 
l:eep away from all kinds of acrobatics. The 
Great Asahl does things magical tbat have never 
before been seen liereaboots. One trick In par- 
ticular, tbat of making streams of water come 
from different objects placed around tbe stase, 
will outwit tbe moHt skeptical. Closing tbe 
show tbis act carried oS qoite a bit of the ap- 
plause of tbe erenlng. 

Scbrode and Unlvey. an old-time team, found 
things suitable all through tbeir stunt. ^ Tbe 
dancing finale went especially well. Billy Far- 
num and the Clarke Sisters are In a class alone, 
slightly elevated above tbe usual trio offering. 
Furnum Is a man who would do well In musical 
comedy, mostly because of his iieeullar delivery, 
which is both good and original. 

Boelna Casselil's Midget Wonders, tbe midget 
wonder being s troupe of W{>ll-trained Chibua- 
bua doggies perform dllterent tricks tbat will 
delight tbe old as well as tbe young. 

The Stavordale Quintet of musicians opened 
the show and with one exception were the elas- 
sieit number programed. This act baa all the 
requirements of a first-class musical number and 
Ebonld be found at all times in big houses. 
Their different selections have been well chosen 
and tbeir rendition of Back to Erin is a classic 
tbat calls for applause plenty. Hart's Bathing 
Girls seems to stick In vaudeville. This act is 
not only tiresome, but boresome. While tbe 
girls are pretty enough TandeviUe fans want 
material. Bart's Bathing Girls haven't got 
it Never bad it. Probably never will. The.v 
went through a half-hour of time which seemed 
more like a week, closing to a quiet bouse. 

Sam Mann and company provldetl enough com- 
edy to aatlsty tbe most critical. TbIs comedian. 



The Bill at 



Majestic 



The boose at the Majeatle, Wedneadar even- 
ing, was pretty well filled, bat not up to Its 

standard capacity. 

Hugh Lloyd, on the bounding rope, opened 
the show and set the ball roiling in a lively 
fashion, catching the audience from tbe start 
with his neat, clever work. 

Elite & UcKenna. in Wanted, a TenoT, awoke 
the audience and fixed It Just right for Stewart 
& Mnrry. the following act. IBoth men are 
excellent singers and faave a repertoire worthy 
of commendation. 

Rowena Stewart and Gladys Murray. In a 
stage life skit cDtitlnl Broadway Love, pulled 
a real hit. Both young ladles are gingery and 
good-looking, while their offering is excellent. 

The Arlington Four, slpglng messenger boys, 
put across a good singing turn in which the 
harmooy la exceptionally good, as is the com- 
edy, 

^The Fire Oommisloner. a dramatic playlet by 
HaniBon Armstrong, did fairly well. There 
Is nothing new about the tbeme whieb deals 
with the fire department graft, finally reacting 
on tbe commissioner's only child In the form of 
a fire in which site is caught and pnt In deadly 
flauRcr through defective hose which were sold 
to the city by one of the commissioner's private 
arms. The Onish wbere the father coDfewes 
to his crookealneos Is very weak, Mr, Watson, 
who plays tbe part of commissioner. Jumbling 
bis words in such a way that they can not be 
undent tood. 

_Knox Wilson cleaned up in tbe comedy line. 
Tbis comedian, late of Tbe Land of Nod, baa 
a peculiar atyle of delivery evidently all bis 
"*u. He Is a clever muHlcIan as well as com- 
edian, and will make himself popular here In 
the vaudeville circles, 

Cecil Lean and Florence Bolbrook, tbe head- 
line attraction, did poorly considering their ex- 
CPMlve liining. Fan, Ton, Fan, a baivlwll num- 
iH-r. brought them bsck for an encore, but at no 
time was the applause rousing. Willa Holt 
Wakefield was the classy act of the bill. .Mlsa 
nskofleld n*nders her songs In such a manner 
thai you can't help feeling her presence. She 
•eored the hit of Ihe show. 
.The International Polo Tetmt closed the 
abow. The act la novel for the first few min- 
utes, but eventually becomes tlrraome.

C. Howard Aeker scored a bit of his own. 
His Interpretatioa of the tough stage manager 
was excellent.

fnila clever trio will alwaya make good, as they

offices 'With Harry Millstone in the Randolph

her Is evinced by tlie fact thai many of tbe 
profession who call at the Harris offices win 
wait longer In order that "Sunbeam" may

bits." Owing to the tact tbat MISS Harris bss 
not only a wonderful voice but holds the Thomas 
Holmes medal tor piano playing for 1910 and

himself very fortunate In the possession of such 
a talented little sister. Oh. well. It "runs In

long time before finding a song as original and 
catchy as Mr. Harris' latest etFort In composi-

Acts New to 

New Yorlc 



lAlo. the Mystic, the Xortb American Indian 
girl, commenced mystifying Kew York and- 
lencee at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, Monday, 
May 29. Her re-engagement for the second 
week proves her efficiency. The Indian reads 
legal docoments, letters, telegrams hy mental 
telepathy, and' succeeds in wrapping the aud- 
ience In the folds of profound awe. In so much 
as the act has never been seen in this section 
of tbe country. It is destined to remain here 
for a long period of time. Mo Is a peer In her 
line. ■•■ 

Joe Jackson.— It '.'has |>eeh a long : time sinter 
Broadway has had an original and perfectly de- 
veloped type of hobo as Joo Jackson presents. 
His Is an Itchy, nlgh-bratnless creation, that 
kind of hobo th»t thn^ush. isolation from fellow 
men knows nothing about modern improvements. 
Great laughter Is compelled by bis theft of a 
hleycl". Never havin.ir seen such a vehicle be- 
fore, he breaks It to pieces with great comedy, 
ami has an Inconceivahle :imonui of tnmble 
trying to keep the horn from tooting. Jackson 
is a flnLshed artist., and deserves to have his 
n^me flashed in electric lights before every big 
theatre that he plays. The comedian never 
utters a sound. His laugh and make-up bids 
fair to outfrazzle that of Nat Wills.

SONG RECORD BROKEN. 



Chicago, June 1 (Special to Tlie sniboard).— 
The neir Blood-Koehler 'ballad. If I Forget, 
breaking: all speed records In the song wodd for 
spontaneonis popularity, was mitll two weeks 
ago nnhesra of. Really it seems almost like 
isress atnir—the^ story of the discovery of this 
oeantlfnt hallad by Mme. Ernestine Schnmann- 
: Heink while the great diva was en route to Ap- 
spleton. Wis., from Chicago. DeKoven Thomp- 
son, who was porter on the car In which Mme, 
:■ Sdmmann-Helnk -was traveling, recognized his 

gasseager as the famous contralto, and begged 
er to look at some of his song compositions. 
She consented, and the result Is now known to 
every one -who reads amusement publications, 
how^ the song was praised by her, and -what 
meant more than anything else to the man 
who wrote the song and who had tried test years 
to gatn recognitloo, was that ume. Schnmuui- 
Belnk.. the greatest contralto the wozld has 
ever known., asked perminrion to nse the nnm- 
ber In her concerts where English songs were 
osed. Needless to say, the delighted composer 
gladly granted the request, and at that time not 
realizing the great financial possibilities, ovnng 
to the endorsement by one so favorably known 
In the mnsic world- However, It did not take 
ibtm long to realize this point In question after 
:he had reached Cblcago and discovered that tha 
ctty; newspapers contained a full account of the 
: entire- atrair. and resultant from this publicity 
he foond himself besieged with offers from pub- 
lishers -wlio In the past had always the same

CONFEDERATEr REUNION IN MO- 
TION PICTURES. 

The wliole Santh was at Uttte Rock to do 
bonase and bonor to tlie-: Confederate reteirans 
of the Civil W-ar, who recently gatbered tbere 
In celebration of their 21st reunion. Southern 
patriotism reached its zenith at this big event. 
Xfae old boys in gray "were there in ail their 
ondimmed military ardor. The dory of their 
past was only sarpassed l>y their present glory 
in, their united coonlry. In all -the military 

regalia, of the days gone by. the old veterans 
manned and conntermaicbed to the war-time 
tones Kbicb Hfty years ago qnickened their 
steps in battle. Today tliese same tones enliv- 
ened limbs and hearts from which 'the years 
have taken their toll and made young again 
the men -whose deeds of Talor are glittering In 
."Oar-v'-iilstoi^. .V.:-- ■ 

: ijUnoBoal inteiegt nas evinced at the Uttle 
Bock Tennion beeanae of ti>e fact that the xanlcs 

: of: tlie veterans are daily thinning and the im- 

' pcesslott aeeou to be prevalent that the Slat 
lennion will be about the last at wUch will 
participate the men who actually saw service 
Ui the Civil War. Certainly at no time in the 
fatore will there lie such a representative gath- 
ering, for every day sees one or more of these 
oldtime warriors passing away to answer roll- 
call in the great Iiereafter. In view of these 
conditions & coterie of pnbllc?<plrited men opened 
negotiatiaas whereby the 21st reunion at Little 
Bocfc was made a matter of endnring historical 
record by means of moving plotnres. By their 
most commendable efforts Sims were secured 
which show everr detail of the Interestlnic events 
w^ch characterized the gathering of the old 
veterans, their sons and admirers.. The Uttle 
■Rock patriots who conceived and. executed the 
moving picture idea are W. G. Hntton. treas- 
qrer. of Pulaski Coonty. Arkansas: F. B. Gregg, 
president of the Uttle Bock Ciluunlwr 4tf Com- 
merce, 'and Jodge Kavananglt of . Little : Bocic 
At tlielinstiKntlofk of these men Mc Watterson 
B- Bothakei; general manager of the Indns- 
trlal ^ving Picture Company of Chicago, visited 
Little Bock, and ' In conference with Messrs. 
Hntton, Gregg, Kavanangb and Nathan Bed- 
ford Forrest, adjutant-general of the United 
Sons of Confederate Veterans, evolved and com- 
pleted the plans which resulted in taking for 
the first, and perhaps the last time, moving 
pictures wtiich are officially representative of 
a reunion of Confederate veterans. 

At a private exhibition at Chicago last week, 
these pictnre^ were on .view before a select few. 
They -are marvels of photbgraptilc excellence 
and are proof salBcient that the Uttle Bock 
reunion., was s. signal^ success from every view- 

- point. .Tlie pictures, allow the eiatKirate decora- 
tions which everTWhere in Little Bock were 
draped In bcmor of the 4dd guard. They show 
the ftreait erowds of 'Saatbem- patriots assembled 
tor the occasion. They show the school child- 
ren of Arkansas w%lcomlBg with flags and 
buntins; tbe old men who participated tn the 
world's greatest conflict of arms. They show 

' the ' nnvelHng of the Confederate monument 
erected in memory of the Capital Guards of 
Uttle Bock. Ttiis was indeed a beantifnl and 
fanpres^ve ceremony, and the moving pictures 
reprodnce its every detail. The great city of 
canvas where the veterans lived In a^ real, mod- 
em military camp ground is also noticeable. 
The reception of the iVarlous dignitaries, includ- 

. Ing governors, generals, and others prominent 
in the South, attracts attention- The .etite ' of 
Southern society parade on the film. . The Confed- 
erate Greys, the oldest dililing company In. the 
world, are seen in action. \ Two old ; negroes, 
tbe cook «nd the body-servant of Jefferson Dav- 
is and Stonewall Jackson, appear in the picture, 
typical of ante-bellum days.!'- Forrest's cavalry, 
that- famous fighting troop,, proudly parade 
booted and uniformed and aligned with military 

. precision. In fact the moving pictures of. the 
2l8^ Confederate reunion are an animated pic- 
torial record of who's wl» in the South. The 
pictnre» will be presented to the public, so that 
those who were unable to be present at the 
event wlU have the opportmilty to view it as it 
actually occurred, and those who participated 
In It will Uve in a pictorial Ustory of what | 
js one of the last gatherings of its kind. 

' Already a great nnmber of requests have 
been- received.- by' iMesBrs. :-Hnttan. : ana Gregg - for 



the nse of the moving pictures at theatres all 
over the South. A suiBcient number of copies 
of this subject have been made by the Indus- 
trial Moving Picture Company to meet the de- 
mand.

BUSINESS.

Mence in the future of tlie moving pictiire bnsl- 
ncss Judging from the number of new instal-

The allotted parts were In fact among the 
most interesting feature of the evening. One 
loeiin't often see a £100a-we<k man like Haw- 
trey playing as a super, and It Is unusual (or 
[«wls Waller to conOne himself to the fnnc- 
llons of a butler. Still the Idea waa for every- 
l)ody to be on the atsge somehow and although 
there were some hearthnrnlngs as to precedence, 
■till everything went without a hitch. 

But once or twice things did nearly go wrong. 
P'or one thing, the play la hopelessly out of date 
Ulil ratlier feeble and annerflclal at l>est. Ami 
•gain It Is not a "straight" play. There are nn 
>«Dg act speeches, but a good deal of abort, 
Aarp dialogue, dlfflcnlt to learn and needing 
I great deal of rehearsals. Many of the char- 
uteri have to be on for twenty minutes wlth- 
•nt anytliing to do and no one to talk to: and 
ibe cues are of the most unexpected order. In 
Ihe ordinary way It would be a play that would 
t«kc wreka of rehearsal. As this was utterly 
impoKslWe in thia case It was wonderful that 
n-rrylhlng went aa well a« It did. 

Kreryone playing was slrnng up to cflpcert 
Pili'h and everyone was nervous, but somehow 
althont exception all the performers were at 
tbelr best. As a rule when one gets a collection 
tt stars together the performance falls flat, but 
"> this occaalon the oppoNltc occurred and the 
icunlt waa some of the flneat acting ever aeen. 

Inside, the theatre was a heantlfnl picture. 
Thi- whole of Ihe andltnrlnm was a great scheme 
•r crimson, with oecaslonnl higb lights In pInK. 
Jnd hero and there the contrast of yellaw. 
ThiTe were crimson vella above the central 
"Itlita of tlie dome and tier after tier was gar- 
Jnded with dark green wreaths bound with red 
rniiwns. Above the wreaths were huge bunches 
'f- <|<l<>ndld glowing tnllps, placed at frequent 
tuti'rvals, so that the eye was, filled with tbia 
inritetniR and Imperial color. I«wer down In tbf 
ilslla, the same scheme had been followed, each 
■nt was decorated with crimann and pink car- 
[ttttnns. showing very well against the white 
nolreffc with which the chairs were cavcred. 
™ 'he center nf the grand tier— what wanld be 
Hi' grand circle of an ortllnary theatre — a large 
vai-n had been set apart aa a royal .box. and 
Ifre and there waa a protualon of pink blos-

Tiie aaaemblr waa equally brilliant,, never

''f"re has snel 



many heantlfnl gowns have never been seen In 
a theatre. Everyone who counted for any- 
thing was there and the scene of splendor waa 
one that will never be forgotten. The Kaiser 
was obviously overjoyed with the whole of the 
proceedings and at the end sent an enthuaiaatic 
meaaage of thanka to the players, saying the 
acting "waa tlie finest he had ever seen." King 
George has invited all those taking part to be

dentally the King and Qaeen are becoming en- 
thusiastic patrons of the theatre. Although 
they have only been out of mourning about a 
fortnight they have already paid about bait a 
doaen visita to theatres and tonight they will b< 

E resent at the Brst performance of the Count of 
uxemlmurg. at Daly's. 

In the presence of 70 or 80 peers, between 
200 and 300 members of Parliment and many 
thonaands of other well-known people. Frince 
Arthur of Connaught. has just declared open the 
coronation exhibition at the White City. The 
Earl of Rintore presided at the gathering and 
pointed out that in this, the Coronation year of 
the King, the exhibition preaented an epitome 
of the world-wide empire over which he ruled. 
Kearly SOO.OOO people visited the exhibition dur- 
ing the day. 

On the following day the New Earl's Court 
Exhibition, under the management of John 
Calvin Brown waa opened by Princess lK>ulse. 
nuchera of Argyie, accompanied by the Dnke of 
ArgTle. The place waa packed with hundreds 
of thousands of people who had come to see their 
old haunt In Its m>w shape. Everything went 
swimmingly and from all accounta Barl'B 
Court la in for the finest season it has ever 
had. 

The Pnlladtnm has been giving an excellent 
show during the past week. Chief of Its many 
ntlrarttnns ha* lieen Arthur Roherta in hia 
latest aketeh Tlie Oirl Who Loat Her Hooey-

Three curtain calls greeted this act at the 
fitat performance. Mme. Van Brandt as Marfa; 
Mme. Markovitch, as Lloubacha; M. Baklanoff. 
as Griaxncd, and M. Bochakoff, as Lykofl, were 
loudly applauded. The mounting of the act was 
effective and the orchestra, also an importa- 
tion, excellent. 

Act II. A snbnrb of Alexandrovak. In order 
to obtain a drug which will destroy the beauty i 
of Marfa. Lloubacha gives herself to Bomely. j 
who can procure It for her. At this juncture, I 
the Our, Ivan the Terrible, appears on the 
acene and takea a fancy to Marfa. ' 

Three cnrtaln calls after this act. Mile 
Markovitch came tn tor a large ahare of the 
applause. She has an admirable voice and con- 
siderable art in acting. 

Act III. A hall at Harfa's house. Lykoff 
preasea his suit with Marfa and they are to be 
married. Orlaxnol, invited in the' capacity of 
beat man. Is desperate. But Mallonta enters 
and announces that the Czar has chosen Marfa 
for his bride and UrtoS necessatUy dlsgppears 
from the scene. 

Four curtain calla. Mile. Tan Brandt wins a 
personal triumph, as does M. Balnklnnofr. 

Act IV. A hall in the palace of the Csar. 
Marfa has become the Caarlna. but she is 
slowly perishing away under the infiuence of a' 
powerful drug which someone has given her. 
I.ykoff is accused of the crime and is executed 
for it by no leas a peraon than his friend 
Griaanol. Llonbacha confM.<^R that It was she 
who did It, whereupon Orlaxnol afiabs her with 
a polgnard. 

For this last act five cnrtaln calls reanlted. 
BaUanoff won the lion's share of ilie lioiiurs in 
this applause, though Mile. Van Brandt came 
very nearly sharing honors with him evenly. 
Roth reached a atrength of expteasion whi. 
was admirable. 



I HO6O BBTITAIi. 

I lie Boi a'-Amnse (The Klag .Amtiaes Himself) 

, waa revived at the Comedle Francslse this week 
and for more than ooe reaaon It waa somewhat 

I more Interesting than other revivala. 

I It wHI be remembered that the opera. Blgo- 
letto, by Verdi, Is composed abont -.the etory of 
Le Bol s'Amase. The play was flrat presented 
In 1832, bnt after 'the initial performance was 
stopped by the French government so the gnnmd 
that It was disrespectful of Baqralty. this In 
spite of the fact that the king In it belonga to 
liistOQr. Francois I., la the oarticiilar mler it 
deals with. Fifty years later It was revived 
and ran for some fifty odd performances. Just 
before the last revival one prominent 'critic. 
declared that we should now see whether Hngo 
was really a dramatist or not. He was taklnp 
a rather unfair advantage of Hngo, however, 
for If the Grand Old Man of French literatnre 
is to stand or fall according to whether his Boi 
s> Amuse la good or bad. It may be said, to com- ' 
mence with, that .be la mighty wobbly. Blgo- 
letto is to be preferred to the play It was taken 
from. 

The story of eonrse. Is that of Triboniet. the ' 
fool in the court of Ftanoola I. and bis daughter 
Blanche, who becomes the King's mistress. Trl- , 
boulet is exceedingly angry at this and plans 
revenge. He aeeks ont a town loafer who Is 
willing to cut a throat now ana then to torn a 
dishonest penny, and atrlkea a bargain with htm 
to kill the king and delivet the body to him. 
Triboniet, la a sack. Blanche, It happens. reSl- 
ly loves the king and contrives a connter-plot. 
She sacrifices herself for the king and when the 
assassin delivers the body In the sack to the 
gloating Tritmtilet, w« know that It la hia 
daughter's body and not that of the king. In 
scores of lines the fool stands over the sack 
delivering his Impressions whUe thunder rt^ls and 
the lightning plays. At laat he decides be most 
see the fact of his dead enemy and rips the 
sack open. And behold! The face of his mur- 
dered daughter stares up at Urn! 

It la said that Victor Hi^. In writing thU 
tragedy, had the Idea that be was being Shake- 
spearean. Pertaans he was. Be has dme some 
tremendously good things. Uany or the lines In 
LeBoI «* Amuse are line. 80 while I can't aee 
that the play is reslly a great play, neltber Is 
It such a ferodoosly rotten one. It Ig to be - 
read, however-^ke the ma]OTlty of Shake- 
speare's plays are to be read — and not acted. 
Only the aliallow-pate and the poaenr, the feat^ 
fnl-of-belng-thonght-lgnorant and the wonld-be- 
BCholar-bnt-aln't chaps think all of Shakespeare'a 
plays are good, performable dramatic works, 
obey are good dramatic w«ka, allrlght, bnt 
more aeldom than otherwise are not perform- 
able. And 10 It Is with BngoPs Le Boi s'Amnae. 

CBTIBOH BANS PLAT. ' 

Gabriele d'Amiunilo'B neweat work, his mys- 
tery play, his Le Hartyre de San Sebastian (San 
Sebastlan'a Martyrdom) has been the object of 
a special commtmlcation by the Archbishop of 
Paris, who places a ban upon the performance 
of the piece which Is scheduled to take place' 
this week at the Chatelet Iliettre. 

The works of d'Aoomiilo have been idaeed sn 
the Index by the 'Vaacn alteady, and this lat-' 
est of his endeavors mer^ goes to take Its 
place beatde the others. Xhe Aicbblsbop's con- 
mnnlqne saya: 

"A Paris Theatre announces ten performances 
of a piece called The Martyrdom of San Sebas- 
tian, a mystery play in five acts, by Gabriele 
d'Annnnaio. Programs of the iday have even 
been sent to the clergy. . .The Archbishop of 
Paris takes the opportunity of recaHtaig the fact 
that at the last diocesan congress be urgently 
recommended Catholics to refrain from wit- 
nesalng theatrical performances oEensive to 
Christian consciences. This recommendation - 
evidently applies to the piece In question, whlcb 
in most nnsnitable condition, is to be put on the 
stage distorting the history of one of our most 
gloriOQS martyrs." 

Needless to say the edict has created a aensa- 
tlon here, not only in theatrical circles bnt 
among the general public as well. The play 
has much incidental music written for it 1- 
Claude DeBnssy, the well-known French com- 
poser, ao much. In fact, that It might almost 
be eaUed an <qien. ^Abont aoo pcraoaa will take 
part, .most <^ them,' of course, as mobs ot cbor- 
nses; There are only live speaking parts, these . 
being the Saint Sebastian himself, the 3Iotl<.' 
Dolorosa, the. Maiden Sick of Fever, the Em- 
peror and the Prefect. The five acenes show 
respectively the Court of Lilies, the Magic 
Chamber, the Council of the False (Sods, the; 
Wounded Laurel Tree and Paradise. Debussy 
declares that everything connected with the play. ' 
the manner of handling the subject, the ^laplng 
of the lines, the ataging, and the music. are~ 
tbotongbly reverent and impregnated with sound 
religions Ideas. Its inspiration, he says, is so 
dev«ntl.v Christian that It Is ealcnlated to make 
conversions. 

Though d'Annnnaio Is. of course. Italian, the 
piece Is . In French, this being bis first reslly 
ambitious work actually written by him origin- 
ally In French. Be too. comes to the defense 
Of his vrork. declaring that he has made every 
effort to infnse fourteenth centnry Spirit into 
bis creation, and that he has been reverent at 
all times. He has nsed archaic French in order 
to pieserve his coloring and to secure a uniform 
eoeet. . 

Of course the play will be produced Just the. 
same. An archestra. 100 strong, will Interpret 
the Debussy music- No prodnctlon baa been . 
created In a Paris thestre In some time which : 
has aroused more curiosity than haa this one. 
Its principals will be artists ot Intmatlonal 
reputation.

COL. CODY, THE ORIGINAL BUF- 
FALO BILL. 



By J. lOLTOS TBABEB. 

A few days ago in conveisatlan with Hr. J, 
Milton Traber ol Hamilton, Ohio, concerning to 
whom the title of "BofCalo Bill" rishtly be- 
longs. Mr. Traber, who is known to all old 
showmen as an authority uiwn such subjects, 
stated especially for the readers of "dear old 
Billy Boy" that in 1873 Colonel WllUam F. 
Cody. In company -nith Ned Bnntllne, "a writer 
of fame." Wild Bill and Texas Jack, with a 
well-selected party of Western men and. a good 
band of friendly Indians, started out on fbe 
road to play ttieatres with a Western drama 
from the pen of Ned BontUne, styled The Scouts 
of the Prairie. Traber met and was introduced 
to the outfit at Hamilton, Ohio, and in conver- 
sation with Xed Buntline was told why be, Bnnt- 
Ilne took sncti an interest in Coij and had 
written two plays which practically portrayed 
the true life of William F. Cody and named 
Buffalo BUI. This fact was authentic, coming 
direct from the Western associates of Buntline. 
who was known as a great mixer among the 
Western frontier men. BnlTalo BUI Cody was 
known by no other title than that of Buffalo 
Bill, having won the title in his faithful work 
killing buffaloes for the railway contractors who 
trallt the Union Pacific Kallroad in 1S66. Al- 
though some other localities in the West fre- 
quently used the name Buffalo Bill and often 
men wouid claim tills title, especially Colonel 
William Mathewson lieing one of this type, 
and all due respect for the colonel. Then there 
eie & f ew peoide who don't think lost as Bof- 
fale Bin Cody does, and the.T, whose nnmbers 
can easily- be counted upon the fingers of -one 
hand without the use of the important thumb, 
try to call the public attention by reviving liis 
old story wbich has become a chestnut and is 
no longer believed by sensible people. So taking 
Ned Buntline, wbo bad no as to grind, simply to 
truthfully state facts as found from the source 
of rtit. infiirrontlou stream of- authority, the 
rightful poeeeeslon of the BntCalo BUI title be- 
Iuiig» just where it now rests and has rested 
upon the broad shoulders of Colonel William F. 
C^dy since ISISft and has never been truthfully 
■ co n tra d ieted ■ Mnce thoge days except as above 
stated, by Irre8p(nisible parties wbo wish to 
steal some other person's tbnnder and in tbe 
attempt have always run against the lightning 
flashes of right and honor. 

Xow. after enjoying over forty years of con- 
tinuous services of portraying true Western life 
as depicted by one who was bom. raised and 
lived most of his life among the true Western 
frontier men. tlie writer takes pleasure In giv- 
ing Buffalo BUI'S Farewell Proclamation to tbe 
pabilcr 

"After many years of almost constant de- 
votion to my calling. I have determined to re- 
tire from active service at the expiration of a 
Ww.t and complete tour of the American conti- 
nent. Therefore, following a series of farewell 
exhibitions which I hope to give In 1910 and 
1911* X shall permanently abandon the arena 

and seek to enlOT some of tlie fruits of my

field during the dvll and Indian wars, end as a 
piOTlder of tbe most appioveil drama of oar

"It Is. .however, my earnest desire to ouee

THE METEORIC RISE OF THE 
8HUBERTS. 

. By BOBEBT GBAV. 



Fifteen years ago a lad of about that many 
years to his credit was employed about the 
theatres of Syracuse. N. Y. He attracted much 
attention because his endeavors were wholly 
beyond the achievement of one so young. 

The boy was the late Sam S. Shnbert, who In 
the few years that he was permitted to live and 
operate, displayed an qtUtude for theatrical 
management such as can be recorded once per- 
haps. In a generation. long before he reached 
bis majority he became a manager, and he pros- 
pered from the very outset, BO much so that a 
number of . gentlemen in the mercantile field 
were glad to let ,hlm avail h i m s el f of their aura, 
which he Invested so shrewdly that the oivl- 
dends were large and regular. _ , 

Ten years ago this boy came to ^ew xork, 
and beennse of his youth (he did not look his 
twenty years) was not taken as seriously at 
first as his friends had hoped for-— but one day 
Sam Shubcrt astonished freQoenters of 1^ Bl- 
alto in the metropolis by leasing the Herald 
Square Theatre, . et. 

When he reached Ws majority, young Shu- 
bcrt had added the leases , of the Casino and the 
Princess Theatre (an estaMIfliment which he 
alone of a score of managers made -profitable) 
and had several Important productions on tonr- 
He kept expanding at so speedy a gait that he 
was regarded with open wonder by his col- 
leagnes, and then, alas, this managerial genius, 
while on a visit to Pittsburg for the purpose of 
adding another theatre to bis already important 
circuit, met witb death in a Peking railroad 
collision, which filled the theatrical world at 
the time with horror. - 

Sam Shubcrt died in his early twenties. He 
left a large fortune, said to have been in ex- 
cess of $130,000. undoubtedly the largest estate 
ever bequeathed by a theatrical manager of any 
age up to that time, and every dollar of it rep- 
resented the earnings of his short but remark- 
able career. He was small in size and frail in 
stature. He did not weigh over ninety pounds, 
but he was a veritable bundle of nerves, and 
*'^ere was no stopping him once he got into mo- 
tion. ^ . 

One {may only conjecture as to what would 
have lieen recorded in this man's career had he 
been allowed to live and enjoy a fair share of 
man's allotted years; but as the fates destined 
it. his work was not to be abolished — the vast 
structure which he had begun to erect was to 
be completed, for Sam Shnbert had two brothers; 
one, Lee, the eldest, had been a vital factor in 
the affairs of his deceased brother, while Jacob, 
the vonngest, also had an Important part In the 
now large institution. Tbe Insnrance on Sam 
Shnhert's life was a very large one — $100,000 — 
and as mnCb. more was paid to the heirs by tbe 
Pennsylvania Kallroad in settlement of the ca- 
lamity, thus avoiding litigation. 

So the reader ma.- observe that the Shnbert 
enterprises at the time of their founder's death 
were in an extremely healthy state. It will be 
well to mention here that dlssenBlonn had arisen 
between the Shuberts and the co-called Theatri- 
cal Syndicate before the death of the senior 
member of the former firm, and when I<ee Shn- 
bert began to assume active charge these grew 
to such an extent that an upheaval was immi- 
nent. 

In due course, the Shnbert enterprises bad 

become so formidable in scope and immensity 
that they required more consideration In the 
bookings than they felt they were receiving 
from tbe Syndicate. This brought about the 
first breach between the two large business In- 
stitutions, but after a short period of strife, 
the two came together and were closely allied: 
but the feeling between them was ever bitter, 
and the next breach was serious and permanent. 

For three years the Shuberts have operated 
upon an absolntelv Independent basis, and their 
growth hns gone on until today they own or 
lease fourteen theatres In Greater New Torfc, 
besides the Hippodrome, white T.ee EThnbert hap 
nl.ao been the business manager of the New The- 
atre. Recently they have added to their hold- 
ings the Winter Garden In New York, an enter- 
prise scarcely less colossal than the Hippodrome. 

In addition they own. lease or control about 
sixty theatres ontslde of New York, to which 
they are constantly adding. Moreover, the Shu 
berts operate themselves or In conjunction 
with their allies, more than forty touring or- 
ganisations, involving a weeklv payroll of near- 
ly $.50,000 a week and employing more than one 
thousand persons. 

That such an institution as they have bulll 
up conld only be maintained by men of business 
rectitude and discernment goes wlthont snv 
ing. and It Is to their <.redlt to state that by 
reason of their methods, an onportnnlfy h«' 
come to and has been availed of by producers, 
playwrights and players who have been pro 
vided with so much incentive for honest effort, 
that nn era of prosiierlty for the latter Is now 
In evidence. 

To snm up: In this year of 1911, the Shu 
berts control the largest theatrical output In 
the world conducted by one firm; their invest- 
ments amonnt to several millions, all the out 

prowth of the enrly oneratlnns of the poor bo-i 

who came to Kew York to make theatrical 
history a decode ago, only to lose big life at 
no age when most young men would be deer 
In their stndles. 

The surviving brothers, with coramendabU 
good taste have named nearly all of their new 
theatres after their beloved brother, and in ev 
ery possible way have tried to perpetnate hit 
memory. 



The writer knew Sam Shnbert well, and If 
these few words of tribute serve to convey to 
the tiKiusands who lUd not Ifuow lilui a better 
apprceliitiun of what he really wiiB. antl per- 
haps provide some with nn Incetillvu to eiuu 
late liim. then iiuleed will they not have been 
tvrltten in vain. 



THE SURE WAY. 



Say, neighbor! If you'd like to know 
VViiat's going on in every show. 
Just where the White Tops are today. 
.\nd when they're going to come your way; . 
Where Tanguay is with 1 Don't Care, 
Or when Blanche Ring will meet you there; 
When Chauncey Oicott's Irish Rose 
Will get away from a roman nose; 
When tbe parks will open and tbe bands will 
play 

Snch heavenly music every day; 
When every county will hold its fair, 
.And just what attractions will be featured 
there: 

What towns will have an Old Home Week, 
Where all will gather, old friends to seek; 
Who's got the best machine to fly. 
And bow they drop when up in the sky; 
When every writer begins to feel 
Tbat anotber's song he's got to steal; 
When vaudeville people make a hit. 
And some one else will make them quit; 
When tbe playhouse trust and Shnbert hoys 
Will both be good and make no noise; 
Who's married, divorced, born or died. 
Or what new star the bosses tried; 
Just spend a dime at some news stand 
For the best paper in the land. 
You needn't even tell the name. 
But say you're in the amnsement same. 
And the clerk that's up to date, 
WUI give you Tbe Billboard, sure as -fate.

AMUSEMENTS IN ROME, ITALY. 



Borne, Italy, May 18. — As a show town the 
Eternal City is certainly a long way behind 
other European capitals. The Bomans take 
their pleasures very leisurely, and then, too, 
they are mighty thrifty. There are 40.000 sol- 
diers in Rome with a large quota of oScers re- 
splendent In uniforms of many hues, pleuteously 
adorned with gold or silver or both. They cer- 
tainly look rich, but they don't live high. A 
roll and a cup of coffee for breakfast, a cnp of 
coffee and another roll for lunch and a feast 
of spaghetti for 8 o'clock dinner. That is the 
daily regime, with a carriage ride once or twice 
a week and an occasional visit to a cinemato- 
graph show. 

There are a score or more of Cin«na. theatres 
In Rome, most of them managed in a spasmodic 
manner. There are two American Cinemas, one 
in the via National and the other in tbe Corse 
Cmberto near the Piazza del Popoll. The first 
is doing very well, but the other Is not in a 
good location and does not do much business 
except on Sundays. And the soldiers set the 
pace for the civilians and the trotting Is mighty 
slow. The average Roman is lazy and not over 
cleanly in - his habits. Bnt both sexes are ex- 
cessively fond of showy clothing. The Anglo- 
American winter-spring colony has broken up.aud 
departed for cooler and healthier quarters, one 
result being a great falling off in the patronage 
of the regular theatres, the principal of which, 
the Nazlonale, the Appollo, the Adrian and the 
Argentina are offering attractions of no especial 
merit. 

The Exposition, organized by the State to cele- 
brate the fiftieth anniversary of Italian national 
anity, was declared open by the King a week 
ago, but although open It Is a long way from be- 
ing finished. It is divided into several sections, 
situated in different parts of the city, one being 
on the army drill grounds, -the Piazzo D'.\rnie. 
another across tbe Tiber near the vnia Umberto. 
and still another vt tbe Castel St, Angelo, near 
St. Peters. A separate charge is made for each 
of these. 

So far the attendance has not been sufficient 
to pay the electric-light bills. The concession 
aires on the Midway at the Piazza d'Armt are 
not feeling very cheerful, but have some hope 
that when the exposition is finished. In a few- 
weeks perhaps, that prospects will Improve. The 
Anglo-American syndicate of which George G. 
Chambers is the manager here. Is running a fine 
Joy Wheel and a Katzenjammer Castle, which 
were constructed under tiie direction of Al. 
Peck, who is still here. JOhn Krider has an 
excellent restanrant In operation and Is Ilkelv 
to come out a winner. J. J. Mannion of Port- 
land. Ore., was In Rome, bnt did not think well 
of it. He will probably have a stand at the 
Turin Exposition. Jack Reading is also in "Tu 
rin. where business Is said to be Improving. 

Colonel Fred T. Cnmmings has disposed of his 
different Interests In Rome, including Luna 
Park, Zoological Gardens, the splendid new res- 
taurant at the Gardens, managed by O. Abergo. 
and the Begins Skating Rink. The Colonel Is 
arranging for a trip to Egypt before returning 
to the United States. 

In speaking of Roman amusements It should 
be mentioned as rather a cnrlons fact that 
women of the middle and better classes rarely 
CO out in the cvenlngH oft«r the dinner hour, 
which is usually between 8 and 0 o'clock. 

Horse races are fairly well patronlzeA. es- 
pecially on Sundays, bnt the most popular 
pastime is playing the lotteries. The lotteries 
ire run by the Government and assist very ma- 
terially In meeting the requirements of the na- 
tional treat»nry. There are drawings ever.v week, 
'flth some special dates thrown in for charitable 
(7) purposes,

IN MEMORIAM. 



The John H- Sparka Shows paid their usual 
visit to the home town. Kast Ilrnd.v. l»a.. .Tune 
I. and the usual good business prevailed both at 
the afternoon and evening perfortuanees. As 
has been the custom with the show since the 
death of the founder, John H. Sparks, as soon 
-fs the afternoon performance had been con- 
"Inded. a delegation left for the cemetery, where 
services were held at the grave. A brief en- 
'ogy was pronounced by Fletcher Smith, and 
two selections Riven by the band. The grave 
•vas literally strewn with benntlfoT lIowoT em- 

tdems. Those present at the servlcefl were Mrs. 

Wiseman, mother of the deceased: Mr. and 
Mrs. Chas. Sparks, Miss Irene Wiseman. Clifton 
ind John Wiseman, children of the late show- 
nan: Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Godfrey, Mr. and 
Mrs. Bert Mayo, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Cahlll. 
Al Anderson, c. H. Cooper, members of the 
band, and frltnils of tbe family. It was one 
of the most Impressive services ever held at the 
crave. 



HEARD IN AD VANCE. 
By XOK NOBTH, 



L. E. Williams, with the Greniir rmicj 
Shows Carnival Co., purchased Uie exIi-hraiiHi 
St. BurnHTd dog, Klnc Dodo, from Arthur N 
Dawson, Decatur, III. 

Mr. Williams Is the owner and eililMior or 
Lady Ruth, the lllllpulian puny, nlih tbe 
Greater United Shows. 

The size of tbe dog and the size of the pout 
Is an Interesting cumiiarlBon. Lady Itntli u 
twenty-three inches in height, weighs foitj-nbe 
pounds, and Is six years of nge. Doclnr "ixuo 
the dog, measures twenty-nine and one-balr 
inches high, weighs one hundred and eluliit 
pounds, end Is seven years of age. 'llie dog it 
registered in tlie American Kennel Cluh. 

It seems that no matter how much curly coo- 
ing Is put forth by the "dove of peace." th>i 
it Is simply an impossible fact to keep doKn 
Insurgency and actual warfare. At this writ- 
ing matters seem to come to an amlcatjle ad- 
justment in Mexico but at same writing I am 
advised tbat hostilities are to be begun at a 
peaceable Interior city, Decatur, III. No one 
ever heard of Decatur being hostile, and eape- 
clally one of the leading lights. Tom Roaan, 
manager of the theatre and blllposting plant 
Tom, some few weeks ago. organized two tail 
teams among his theatre employees, nnmei; tb( 
front of the house and .the stage hands, or tbf 
back of the bouse. A game was played. Froat 
of the house won out In tbe seventeenth Inning, 
score S to 6. Some game. Then along comn 
Earl SIpc and his Winifred St. Clair Stock Co. 
to play an engagement at Ronan's theatre. 81p« 
said he bad some bail team among bis playera. 
Ronan said same thing about his enipla.ren. 
Natural consequence, a game was schedulnl. 
Wrangle on admission fee. Finally settled oo 
$10 a ticket. Supremacy to be decided next San- 
day morning. I'm anxious to see the (rar. 
win tell you about it next week, but in tlw 
meantime 1 am lalioring nnder the hnpression 
tbat it is going to be some game.

The recent changes in baggage regulations b; 
the railroads have gone into effect. Responid- 
blllty is not accepted beyond a value of $100. 
If a trunk Is valued at a higher figure, the 
patron is required to pay excess charges before 
the trunk is checked, the charges being in pro- 
portion as the value of the trunk increases. Tbe 
new rules that will also Interest theatrical 
folk provide that a dog may he checked and car 
ried as baggage In a baggage car. without 
cost, thus doing away with the old hn1d-np of 
tipping the train baggageman. Of interest to 
traveling managers Is the fact that a corpse 
may be checked as baggage. If you've a drad 
one In your company, check it.

sor of tbis patriotic organization, wbicb bas a

Tbe Baltimore brancb bas increased exceediniily

be was obliged to cancel the engagement, and it 
is said that he will be present during the ba- 
zaar. Monnr Washington is an exclusive sn- 
btorb, and tbe armory is on the line of the new 
tKty million dollar boulevard and in the heart 
Of one of the bandsomest suburban develon- 
ments in this country. Tbe event is lieine fos- 
tered by: some wealthy real estate men, and the 
affair will havo an air of aristocracy, as many 
noted so4'lety peeple are actfvelr interested in 
the welfare of this organization. John T. JleC'as- 
lin is boolEing special shows for this event, and 
it is one of tbe biggest alTairs that be bas

Louis Kolb and Charles Benning are promoting 
a new picture theatre to be erected on Philadel- 
phia Avenue, near Patuxent Street. The project

theatre will brlns nndesirable people Into the 
neighborhood. A petition with one bnndred 
signatures will be sent to Mayor -James H.

Washington; i^^ a 

A recent siEatement anpearing In The Billboard 
was to fhe elTect tbat next season the Monu- 
mental Theatre at Baltimore will be withdrawn 
from the Empire Gircnit of burlesque and a new 
one. note abont completed, pnt In its place. It 
was flirtlier stated that the Lyceum of Wash- 
jDfrton. will also ciTp way to another theatre, 
to be completed bv the time the regular seas4tn 
of the Empire rircnit orpns. 

It is the general opinion here that the Im- 
perial Theatre, now in course of construction, 
will be the one to siinntant the Lyceum. It is 
many months since the wnrlc was' first started 
on the Imperial, bnt after considerable head- 
way had been made, woric w.is suddenlv sus- 
pended for some reason or otlicr until si.t week< 
ago. wlien active oiterations wen' as suddenlv 
resumeil, the present contractors being a prom- 
inent firm of :rew Torit builders, who sav tlmt 
tbev win have every*lng In readiness bv earlv 
faU. 

The Gayery. of the Columbia Circuit, is t!ie 
only theatre in Wa-shlnston that still continues 
tbe regular season. : 

Commencinir this week tbe base b--^ll: games or 
the Americnn League will begin at four o'cloclc. 
and this nile will continue until the davs per- 
ceptibly shorten. Tlie change in time has been 
made for several obvious reasons, one of which 
is that it will be an aecommo<intTon to several 
thousand government eaiployct-f, -tvho are lilieral 
patrons of the game, and whose departments 
close by 4:3t>. By this arrangement the em- 
ploys can attend the games and not lose so 
ployee-S can attend the games and not lose so 

It may not be amiss in tbis connection to call 
attention to the most remarlcable achievement 
In the field of rapid concrete construction that 
was conclnded in this city in time for the open- 
Ins Jtames- of the season. Munb TT. the grand 
stand of the Amerioa-? Leasne baseball cronnds 
was totally desTFojrediby .fiie. -Tlie regular base- 
ball season was sehednled to begin AprU 12. less 
than a month off- The situation was serlons 
and for a time the managers were In a dilemma. 
A local firm of builders, with a reputation that 
is nation wide. wa.s consulted and asi£ed whether 
it would undertake the tasir of constructing a 
fireproof grand stand in: time for the initial 
eames. 

The superintendents replied that they were 
willing to make a strenuous attempt, hut could 
make no guarantee as to the exact period of 
completion. With this understanding plans were 
at once drawn, and on the morning of Jfirch 
20 a large force of men set to the task of break- 
ing a record. With more than eight ilundred 
men working nnremittin.gly in three shifts, in ail 
conditions of the weather, day and night, the 
task was completed within twenty-two days.

PARK NOTES. 



CHICAGO PARK NEWS. 



HIVEBVIEW. 
V Chicago, June 1 (Special to nie : Biiiboard).— 
Rlverview Park has conquered the bobble 
skirt. The vlct«iy was won by placing six-inch 
steps or run-ways in front of ail concessions. 
Since the park opened the management has 
been puzzled by the fact that while crowds 
thronged to all the rides and shows the receipts 
were not up to normal. An Investigation showe.I 
that the hobble skirts worn by most of the 
women visitors kept them from negotiating tht* 
twelve-inch steps. 

Arthur Pry<»r's Band replaces the Erlinger 
Band on June 4. 

The extensive enclosure has been filled nightly 
since the opening and the thrilling rides, the 
Onaip XUoalon, tlie plantation show, the I«tberty

the largest ever hauled by the 6treetK!ar com- 
I>any to Tumbling Dam Park where the camlval 
wa.s held under the auspices ot the Bridgeton

eer" of the Frisco System and arranged for side- 
tracks to be built into the property that he has 
purchased in that city for a pcrtnanent winter- 
quarters for the Great Patterson Shows. While 
there he ali^ approved the plans for many new 
buildings that are to be erected before the 
Close of the present season. Herafter the win- 
ter-quarters property will be a busy place. 
Several large buildings will be : erected on the 
property to house the stock and paraphernalia, 
and the side-tracks that take care of the rol- 
ling stock of the show will be enclosed and 
covered. Another new sleeping car has been

Tbs summer amusement season burst : open 
with a crash and a flare when the parade of th*.

The crowd lieine tbe largest seen on a carnival

good nature, and seemed as the concessioners 
praised it, "s-wd spenders." All of the shows

NORTH DAKOTA STATE FAIR. 



The Xorth Dakota State Fair fo» 1911 will be 
held at Grand Porks, July 25 to 29, Inclusive. 
The many successful fairs held In Grand Forks 
In past years have established It In the public 
confidence as the best fair center in the Xotth- 
west, and. the place where they always bave the 
good fairs. The season of 1011 will see no 
lessening of the Grand Forks standard, and the 
state of Nortb Dakota is ASsnred a State Fair 
that win be a leal one. 

The management Is olfering aeroplane flights 
by Walter &aokins of the Wright squad as the 
feature attraction this year. In a measure this 
Is a repeater, but the most snceessful engage- 
ment* with the Wright Company of Dayton at 
the 1910 fair determined the nature of this 
yeai's feature. While the aeroplane is not to 
be the. only featnre. it will be nsed extensively 
In the adverUslns campaign to be carried on. 



The Barkoot Shows pla.vod Sandusky O.. vwk 
of May 15. under the auspices of the Eagles 
Club, and were given a rousing reception on 
Monday with a big parade of the members of tin' 
lodge together with tlie Merchants' Association 
and Civic Leacue. It was one of the largesr 
"turn-oats" witnessed In a long time, greeting 
the coming of a carnival company and it seeme.: 
that ever.vone participated in the festivities. 

TTie principal merchants and manufacturer!- 
of the city were represented in tlie pariirte bv 
••floats," advertising their respective lino or 
businoss. There were over three hundred ta- 
gles" In line, and over one hmidred vehicles 
vatlons descriptions. 

The line-up was headed by the famous Koyai 
Italian Band of the Barkoot Shows, in clinrge 
of Prof. Angelo Mummolo, and the First Regi- 
ment Band of Sandusky, was half way back In 
the parade. The shows enjoyed a good week s 
business, and everyone was well pleased witli 
the treatment and courtesies extended by the 
people of Sandusky. 

On Monday May 22. after the shows were In 
readiness for the grand opening at ypsilanti 
Mich., wc were visited by a severe cyclone whlcU 
laid low half of the shows, iDClndlDS the biff 
spectacnlar production. Peerless Mamie, and the 
Jesse James Show, which Is owned by Charles 
E. Williams. , * , 

Tbe damage was tbongbt to be almost ines- 
timable at first, but after everything was right- 
ed It was a very agreeable surprise to find that 
the damage had not been so great as at first 
expected, although it cost between three and 
four hundred dollars to make the necessary re- 
pairs. 




J. B. WARREN, TOM NORTH AND E. F. CARRUTHERS- 




Warren and Carrathers are proprietors and managers of the .Greater United Shows. 
The promoting and press work is bandied by Tom North. 



A strong vaudeville program has always been 
a feature of the Xorth Dakota State fairs at 
Grand Forks. Day and evening programs are 
given before the grand stand. The night shows 
are increased by special acts, and running races 
have been popular for several seasons. . These 
evening programs are varied during the week. 
Two powerful search lights are tiscd to follow 
the night races and to illnmlnate tbe platform 
for the acts when on. 

The carnival features win be furnished this 
year by the Herbert A. KUne Company. 

The active management wUl again be in the 
bands of M. C. Bacbeller, who has already four 
successful fairs to his credit at Grand Forks. 
Mr. Bacheller is a graduate from tbe dally 
newspaper business In the Twin Cities, and has 
a wide acqnalntance with men and affairs of 
value to the State Fair management. While 
the state has not been particularly liberal In 
the matter of appropriations, carefol manage- 
ment has made a good show of the available 
fnnds. 

The North Dakota State Fair Is one of the 
newer state fairs, but Is recognized as one of 
the real ones. Owing to the fact that the state 
is largely interested .In grain ^^ps an early. date 
Is necessary, as . VaU biislness and amusements 
must wait , <Hi barvest :anil threshing. Every- 
bbdy farms ' In Xortb Dakota, and the early 
dates, generally the last week of July, Is at the 
present time,: more convenient to farm and town 
patronage than, a later date would be. 



SCOTT VINDICATED, 



In a letter received May 17, from Detroit. II. 
J. Scott, who it wUl i)e remembered figured in a 
controversy between himself and the Canton 
Pure Food Exposition, encloses a letter from 



Fred A. Sbnnk, who acted as director of ex- 
hibits for tbe Business Men's Association of 
Canton. This letter acknowledges payment liv 
money order of S23 from Mr. Scott for half nf 
the amount due for tbe concession space used by 
Scott at the exposition. He also sends a re- 

- , , celpt for $25 signed P. C. McCarty. As Mr-

Tbe Jesse James Show was ready to open Its 
doors at the nsual time Tuesday evenine. but 
the big Mamie production did not open nntll 
Wednesday night, after forty-eight bonrs of In- 
cessant work. 

After having recovered from tbe cyclone of 
Monday, we were informed by the chief of police 
of Ypsilaotl. that the students from tbe Uni- 
versity of Michigan at Ann Arbor, were coming 
over to make ns a visit and "dean np" the 
shows. 

We at once called a special meeting of our 
"forces'* and formed a "firing line" organiza- 
tion, in preparation for the foe, but evidently 
the "bullies" were frightened by the newspaper 
accoonts of . tbe meeting which appeared in tbe 
Ann Arbor and Detroit papers next day, tor 
they failed to cause any disturbance, although 
they came to Ypsllantl on Friday nIgbt, nearly 
SOO strong. 

The shows were well supported both by the 
sberifC and the chief of police, and are very 
thankful for tbe eCTorts of these officials for tbe 
assistance rendered in maintaining order. 'Xtie 
slieritC of the county furnished about thirty 
deputies, and tb? chief had abont twenty citi- 
zens sworn in as special officers, and together 
with tbe "show forces," numbering about . om; 
bnndred, we were pretty wdl prepared to do 

"battle." 

The w«!k's business at Ypsllantl was very fair 
considering tbe rumors that were afloat concern- 
ing tbe raid by the students, wblcb bad a ten- 
dency to keep quite a few people away from tbe 
'grounds for fear of trouble. .

Marie Petrot, the little French Rlrl who iloes 
the inlil-air "Joy-rWe," gbatterlne the utmo- 
snlicru with her automobile, twice a day, rain or 
^tilnc. Is somelhlng of a wit. Itcccntly, 1 8too<l 
near when she lit upon the padded platform — 
atid she did llBht! Jumping out of the machine, 
she 8«IU: "Wouldn't zat Jar youl" 1 agreed 
that It did, and broke my watch crystal at 
the siiroe time. Some dash — that automobile 
aoroprsaultlBg stunt. „ _ ^ „

Billy O'Dell. as debonair as ever, blows the 
whistle, end wears becoming rlojt dnds. 

Contracting Press Agent Arthur B. DIrrs 
sars lie likes the work all rlgbt. If It wasn't 
the rates the business mansKets try to put over, 
and the number of tickets they demand. Cheer 
up — Arthur, you haven't contracted Dallas, Tex.. 

**A?^ newspaper man asked me the other day If 

Adam ForenauRh was with the show much — I 
salii — "Not much" — and this chap was attached 
to the bureau of Information of a Pittsburg 
uewspaper. 

now xood twenty.four-bour men are to each 
other: S. Beckett switched with Hany Curtis 
in making Elmlra, because the latter w a na- 
tive of that hure. 

Poor Aliee! How the Associated Press diil 
tiurl fibs about your demise over the country. 
Maybe yon did die of a broken heart, as Rlr- 
affes sometimes do. but Head Animal Keeper 
Starr told me on the quiet, that It was high 
UtIdit that did the trick. I do not know where 
vour carcass went, but the "Boss" gave your 
freckled hide to "Chick" Bell — and be tells me 
It win be converted Into a rug for bis borne In 
the "Capitol City of the World." 

Ty-Bell Sisters have a full new line of cos- 
tumes this season — and no one has anything on 
the Alpine — Minerva — or Hlchards Sisters — the 
prettiest bevy of circus girls en tour. 

George Denman has taught the famous Fore- 
paugh Dancing Elephants and a set of Collie 
doES, many new tneks, wbleh. In eonjnnetlon 
with two other big elephant acts, la making a 
great hit. 

The Biding Booneys have added many daring 
new features to their snpetlor riding act. 
Charlie Booney, brother of John, Is now working 

Wia tlMB. 


Conductor John J- Rlcharfls, who wields tli** 
baton In directing the excellent band that 1h 
rendering a fine musical program prior to the 
blK allow performance, looks a picture In his 
various makc-nps. John has a different uniform 
for each day in the week. 

Marrietta Correla, Carrie Rooney and Edith 
Castello arc a trio of very attractive bareback 
riders. 

Edward llooncy Is also with the Forepaush- 
Sc'lls Bros.' Show this season. He does not 
work with the Hldlns Kooncy act, however. 

Yts. 3. D. Ncwroun did pay $25 for those 
"yaller" shoes — I was with him when he set- 
tled. 

Number "3" car manager. C. "W. Finney, no; 
only wears a happy smile, hat a pair of corn- 
ctilored gloves, too,— natty chap, that car man- 
ager. : 

Tralllc Mannccr Charles 'vrnson was on to t- 
show In Pittsburg— so were the Pennsylvania R. 
It. ofllclalB. 

Thcv say that Tom Dransfleld. manager of 
No. 2 car, is taking on flesh rapidly, and can 
scarcely get through tlie car door — nothltig 
wrong with the contract hotels, eb, Tom 

The Danclns Elephants had company In Col- 
umbus — :the quarter poles danced with them. 

The clown who does the "Salome" dance with 
clarinet obligate by another clown — (I have 
not learned the names of either yet) — to the 
nir of Every Little Movement, from Madame 
Sherry, are mighty funny loeys. Look out boys 
— ^you'd better copyright that stunt, or the 
clowns with other clrcuaea will be copying It 
before long. 

It is worth a trip to the Forepangh-Sells 
Show, just to see and bear Tom Murray dlre< 
the people to their seats. Tom snre does wear 
good clothes. 

Versatile John G. Sheehy has mastered a lec- 
ture on zoology, describing the many rare and 
Wild beasts froig amnerons climes. John en- 
tertains the presa back with the show and is an 
entertainer.

man, stops at the same bote! a few days later, 
and when leaving he runs across the shirt with 
the monogram "J. O." in his laundry. At once 
dark thoughts enter bis mind. His wife had 
packed bis grip; wbere did sbe set that ablrt 
from? Who is J. O. ? Gloomy ghosts of his 
wife's Infidelity tears his heart, and he writes 
her, demanding to know all about the shirt. His 
wife Is puzzled, perplexed and heartbroken over 
the accnsation. and to vindicate her honor and 
solve the queer mystery, sbe hires a detective. 
He visits the hot^l and finds that the man who 
occupied the room previous to Mr. Smith was 
James Ogden (J. O.). and after discovering this, 
he gets tbe forwarding book and finds Ogden's 
borne address, and starts out to have Ogden ex- 
plain. Meanwhile Ogden returns home, and 
his wife Inquires for the whereabouts of the 
shirt. Ogden replies he has sent It to the 
laundry. The truth dawns on him when he real- 
izes that he must return and get tbe shirt, and 
he is much worried to know how to arrange 
matters, when the detective arrives and saves 
Ogden from a situation that might prove seri- 
ous. He agrees to face Mr. Smith and tell him 
all about it. He makes It possible for the 
Smiths to go on their marital way In peace 
with doubt and misgivings dispelled. The reel 
Is full of laughable situations and situations 
worth laughing at.

effort for months past. Our h'ne this year is most complete and contains choice sellers on which you can make ecceptioiuQ 
profits — special goods not handled by any other house in the country. 

AN INSTANCE WORTHY OF SPECIAL MENTION— 

We purchased importer's entire stock of watches that we are selling at 25% 'discoimt from importer's pricel This is unques- 
tionably the biggest watch deal pulled off in recent years. The bargains we offer in staple, reliable watches, never again can 
be duplicated. It will pay any- watch dealer to come to Chicago to buy his stock from this lot or send for circular on which 
we list only a few of the many styles, which number a few hundred kinds. Orders subject to stock on hand. 

WE PROTECT QUE CUSTOMERS by not sendii^ catalogue to consumers; therefore, when writing for catalogue 
state what kind of business you are engaged in, so we can distinguish you fram a conaumer.

$3,009 REWARD. DEAD OB ALIVE (Come

-—Steve Frazer, a young cowboy on the T?:ir X 
ranch, loved Madie. the winsome dau;?hter of 
Cbet Howard, the sherilT, and she was not 
indifferent to the manly cowboy. Lover-like 
they had a post office In the mountains, among 
the rocks, and many little notes were exchanged 
between the happy pair. The mountains shel- 
-tered a pair of hold-up men, who had long 
terrorized the conntry. and the cattlemen, after 
a conference, decided to offer a reward for tb*. 
capture, dead or alive, of the mysterious ban- 
dits. The, notices were posted by the sheriff, 
bnt the depredations of the bandits continned. 
and one morning a ranchman going home with 
a large amount of money— the payroll for bis 
employees — was lield up and robbed by one of 
the pair. The bandit escaped Into the shelter 
of the mountain and by a strange coincidence 
cached the bag of gold in the lovers' post office. 
When Steve rode , up . to get his aecnstomed 
note, tie found instead the bag of gold. Iieaving 
the note and taking the gold he hurries to the 
sheriff's home to report his discovery. A posse 
is formed and they start immediately for the 
scene of the hold-up. The bandit who com- 
mitted the daring crime sends bis confederate 
to procure the gold cached in the lovers' post 
office. He finds the place, bat instead of the 

desired gold he finds a note: "If you love me 
as I love you, no knife can cut our love in 
two." He accuses his partner of double-cross- 
ing him. This is denied and together thev 
return to the rock, bnt find only the note. Woth 
are now thoroughLv angry, and forgetting where 
tliey are start to fight. They are thus engaged 
when the posse -come upon them, and tbey are 
easily eaptnred.. - The xeward^ offered for tbelr 
captnte goes to Steve Fraaer. and he Is now

This film presents a story with a decidedly

It Is a plain bnt Interestla^ story of a man who 
mistrusted his wife and nearly caused an awful

The basis of this st^ny has been recently

acne tbe less interesting. As to its plausibility 
we can not vouch, as It deals with the peculiar 
workings of the human mind which have stnoiped 
caany learned physicians, Irat it looks plausible 
and ptobalriy could occur. A man becomes In- 
■ane at the death of Us daughter and seeks 
consolation In -iioldin^ and playing with b&r 
doll and otbers. Finally a number of dolls are 
shown him Id snccesslon, each one resembling

This la anotber of ths| very «miiaiiip Western

centers about the attempt of a bunch of cow-

A BASE FOUBTH OF JULT, Edison. Drama. 
Beleased Jnne 2. Full length. 

This film Is highly instructive, as it brings 
right before the eyes of the audience one of the 
disastrous 'resnlts, of which there are so many, 
of an insane Fourth. The exhibition of a Sane 
Fourth Is not so good as the insane one, as it Is 
highly Improbable that any group o£ children 
could be prevailed upon to celebrate in the way 
the Edison children have done. The attempt at 
a film of this kind Is a very noteworthy one, and 
the acting is splendidly done. 

THE EKSS or THE EARTH, Vltagrapb. 
Drama. Beleased, June 2. Foil length. 
Tbe story presented in this film Is one which 
requires much building no in order to get it 
over. It is a simple plot and a very clear one. 
It contains few but big things, both In charac- 
ters presented and In happenings. It Is poetic 
Tbe production Is lavish and is carefully done. 
Unfortunately the people used in the cast are 
not exceptionally interesting, nor do they act 
with any special display of feeling. The scenery 
and property outshine the work of the actors. 
The moral of the tale and tbe tale Itself, aside 
from the way it Is presented, are very good. 

HEB SOS, Kalem. Western Drama. Beleased 
Jane 2. Length 1,000 feet. 
A hardly likely story Is presented in this film, 
although B perfectly possible one and one true 
to the nature of Western miners, among whom 
tbe setting Is laid. The raodnctlon is by far 
not the best of tbe Kalem Western plctates, hut 
It Is toncliing and fairly well played, so Is bound 
to meet with favor among that large class of 
picture theatre-goers, who lean toward the sen- 
timental, and wbo use sentiment as an excuse 
for a large number of sbortcomlngB. 

A CAME OF OECEPTIOV. LnWn. Comedy. 
Length, 1,000 feet. Released June 1. 
This is surely one of the most amusing com- 
edies, or films of an classes for tbat matter, 
wliich has lieen released by the Lnbin Company 
for a long tlme^ There seems to be a bnmorous 
climax with every scene after the play gets 
started, and the very clever acting and the fine 
setting bring out the humorous point in the 
funniest way every time. The story is too 
long to tiell, but the plot is concerned with the 
marriage of a minister's son to an actress de- 
spite many langhable attempts to prevent this 
by the 'father. 33ie deception part of the story 
seems to occur at ereiy tnmliiE aid itbe olctine

THE BOSE OF ST. AVSTTBTIBE. Sdlg.

Jnne I. 

This is a very tragic story, and set vrtth bean-

oitaraeters and those so bard to keep straight 
that it Is almost Impossible to flallow the plot. 
There - are a greait^ many 'events vwUefa occur

to follow. The main trouble With the film, and 
in fact'flie.anly troable,-be ;lt big or little, Is 
that it-does not get over.

Same reel as The JTnsketeer. 
This is <me of the very 'broadest of European 
comedies and. while containing nothing new, is 
nevertheless .amusing and well carried oat. The 
sleuth attempts to catch some suitcase thieves 
by hiding in a snitcase and allowing It to tie 
stolen. ' He smokes a cljrarette while in the 
case, and the thief, tbldfclng it on fire, drops 
it Into a stream of water, but later rescues It 
and allows iilmself to be caught. 

THE IXKOBTAZ, ALAKO. Sielles. Drama. 
Length. 1.000 feet. Beleased Uay 25. 
This film tells or attempts to tell a story of 
the Mexican frontier In the year 1863. A great 
deal of expense and care seetns-to have been gone 
to in preparing this film, bnf so many names 
and such peculiar ones are Introduced that the 
plot is clouded. It Is Imposslhle to follow It 
and the maiority of tbe fine imlnts of the play 
are lost. The stor? has a military setting. 

THE WHITE BOSE OF THE WHSS. BIngraph. 
Drama. Length. 908 feet. Beleased May 
25. 

A rather odd story Is told In this film, bnt one 
perfectly possible of bappening, and sorely In- 
teresting and well-played. Two irlrls are left 
alone In a cabin In the wnods and are attai-fced 
by three thugs, one of whom Is so Impressed by 
the sweet diiipnsltlon of the older girl that he 
drives the other two away and prevents any harm 
being done. Tbe part of the girl Is unrrly wi-ll 
chosen, and herein lies tbe success of the film. 
The scenery and phntograpby are good.

THE mHEBITAKCE. Kdlsfln. Comedy. Length, 
625 feet. Beleased Xsy 31. 
This film presents a story withont a plot hut 
full of amusing Incidents. It ^ihows a family 
of "newly rich" trying to pnt on stvle and final- 
ly learning that the fortune they bad been 
counting npon getting amonnted to thirty cents. 
The acting and scenery are very good and an 
old Idea has been well utilized. 

H SEHVES HEB BIGHT. Comedv. Length. 
373 feet. Same reel as The Inheritance, 
The comedy in this story Is really funnier 
than in the one oh the first part of the reel, 
and surely -well brought out. The woman who 
was "served right" was the suspecting wife of 
a perfectly innocent busf>and. and she surely was 
served right if not with some to boot. She 
determines .to catch her husband kissing ' the 
cook, so Impersenates the lady and receives a 
very enthusiastic -kiss from the Iceman who 
mistakes her for the cook. 

THE COKPAmOS GOVEBITESS. Lux. Drama. 
Split reel. 

The plot in this film Is very thin, the Inter- 
esting part being the way In which ^he actors 
develop It. In this story the clever acting of 
a girl'of abont seventeen holds the Interest. 
She succeeds in bringing abont tbe engagement 
of two people, each of whom Is perfectly willing 
to be engaged to the other.Jrat jnis.preyented 
from showing It. The scenery and ohotoeraphy 
are veey ff904. 



BILL AT PLAY, Comeily. Same reel as The 
Companion Governess. 
St»me very funny scenes occur In this rather 
broad comedy. Kill, we think, has a tough 
job in mukini; this scant plot as interi-etlng as 
it is. but he has put a whole lot of life Into It 
and made It so ridiculous that It is Indeed 
amusing. 

THE PBBTENDEB. Yankee. Western drama. 
Pull length. Released June 2. 
This Is a typical Western story, with the 
the ordinary number »t bad men, 4lolani» and 
disclosures. <rhe plot is very hard to follow, 
but the acting and scenery are good. 

THE SOAHDAL-IEOHaEB, Yankee. Drama. 
Full length, Beleased June S. 
A very Interesting and amusing story Is told 
in this film. It shows the very disagreeable 
results whch may come from speaking careless- 
ly of other people and especially ot giving a 
touch of scandal to everything which seems 
questionable. The story Is remarliably clear, 
concise and well put on. The scenery Is good 
and tbe acting is very commendable.

EBPERHmiTS OK FOBLAirS EYDSO- 
AEBOSLAHE, Scenic. Same reel as An 
Odd Adventure of Poolshead. 
This picture - is educational as well as mere- 
ly scenic and Is remarkably well made. The 
hydro-aeroplane appears to be a motor boat 
which when running at high speed Is lifted en- 
tirely out of the water by tlie action of the 
water and the air upon paddles placed on each 
side and near the stem of the boat. Some of 
the scenes are taken from the boat while it 
is golns at a rapid rate of speed, while others 
are taken so as to show the boat lifted from 
the water. The photography Is very good, the 
picture appearing to have been taken with great 
care. 

THE TOVBIBE EXHIBITIOB. Ambrosio. Scen- 
ic. SpUt reel. 
Many Interesting views of the To urine exhi- 
bition are shown in this film, most of them be- 
tog the royal cortege's manouevers on the In- 
auguration day. The entrance of the royal 
cortege to the grounds is shown in several views. 

Which are followed by their reception of repre- 
sentatives from other nations. At the end, its 
departnre Is shown, tbe picture evidently being 
taken from an ar^ over one of the driveways 
and an excellent plctoie has ttus been ob- 
tained, 

THE ETOLUnOH OF WOKAHHmD. Comedy. 
Same reel as The Tonrlne Exhibition. 
This film gives a rather striking view of one 
man's Idea ot what womankind will evolve Into. 
A member of the sex Is first shown in a hobble 
skirt. She later forces her husband to buy 
her a skirt of the harem variety, and with the 
freedom possible in this she rapidly grows in 
courage. At the end of the story she has hubby 
watching their three children on a bench In a 
park while she strolls off flirting with young men 
who strike her fancy. Being arrested, she even 
wins the admlratlrai of the judge, who passes 
on her case as not guilty. Tba film Is langh- 
able from start to finish.

er. ' Comedy. Split reeL Beleased June' 
9. 

Like most comedies the plot in this story Is 
very trivial, but the way In which it Is played 
is amusing In the extreme. -Someone wbo is 
familiar with Renpeck's troubles thinks he is 
trying to bang himself and In her excitement 
calls the police and assembles a large crowd ot 
people. It develops that it was -all a mistake, 
but some lively fun ensues before this discov- 
ery. 

HOTOBIVe, Drama. Split reel. On same reel 
as The Rescue of Mr. Henpeck. 
This film tells the rather old story ot the 
heiress wbo poses, as a servant 'and wins the 
heart of the mlUlnnalre who poses as a chauf- 
feur. In this Instance tbe plan was not pri;- 
arranged bnt Just a happen so, and a novel 
development Is surely worked out of the situ- 
ation. The attraction between the two people 
•tarts while the heiress' chauffeur is trying to 
fix her broken-down machine and the millionaire 
happens aIon;r. it develops that be becomes 
Chauffeur, while 5ihe is taken for the maid of 
her aunt with whom she is Tiding. She con- 
tinues tbe deception tbinking that he Is onl.v a 
chauffeur and only Informs him of her real iden- 
tity on ber day off. 

THE COST OF SBLNiL. Champion. Drama. 
l>nKtta. 9Sn feet. Beleased June T. 
This film contains a very clear and precise 
story and one whose moral could not ensily 
be mistaken. It shows tbe young husband, a 
reformed dmnk.nrd when he marrle<l. returning 
to his old hflbits and pn.vlng the price with his 
life. The girl refuses the ofTor of.marrlaKe by 
.a temperate and whole-souled mnn in order to 
marry the one she did. and this man Is the one 
to Inform the wife of b»?r bnsbnnd's death, thus 
perhaps emphasizing ber regret at making the 
wrong pbnice.' The play is splendidly acted 
tbronehont.

This Is, ot course, not at all the case as there 
la one and only one California Frank's All-Star

THE DREAMLAND FIRE. 

iClMitlnned from page 7.) 

men. In these sleeping nrooms were"Jact"Bona- 
vita, 'Jo8» Becaldo and.-wife, Vincent Eeverio, 
'71ct« Levitt. Dock Hastings and several helpr 
ers. When -the men came to bis aid. ills first 
words were: "We must save mother." 

He referred^to Victoria, one of the finest Af- 
rican lionesses in captivity. Not only is Vic- 
toria a splendid beast to appearance, but she Is 
a fine performer. 7et. best of all, a good 
mother. She bas bad several: Utters, and she 
liaa always treated ber enbs with nnnsnal klnd- 
nesa. One of ber cubs, a fine lion. Havana by 
aame. was left In tbe ruins, while Marguerite, 
her eight montbs old daughter, was saved. An- 
sGier reason Ferari had for saving Victoria was 
Uiat die is expected to cnb In a few days. 

3o Ferarl's first thought was of Victorla. 

Cnside of tbe animal house were tbree trans- 
fer boxes, or sblftmg : dens. Laddly Frank 
Bostock bad left ,beblna two large sized sblft- 
Ing cages. Meanwhile the Itgbts were sn ex- 
tinguished, yet tB6 gleam from the roaring fire 
vitliODt illnminated the Inside of the animal 
tioase. In all there were forty cages of wild 
. tnlmals in Dreamland's Wild Animal Arena, 
tnd Ferari bad but five shitting dens, each 
>ble to hold but two animals at the utmost. 

Victoria was the first to be given attention- 
Doc HaatlDgs was sent to tbe ronway back of 
Uie cages. He opened tbe door to Victoria's 
sage, and the men. prodding her into the pas- 
fageway. Hastings drove her along tlie runway 
into the arenas One of tbe sblftln^ dens was 
daceir at tbe entrance and Ferari and Bonavlta 
-iot ber Into tbe cage, and tbe sliding, door of 
oie same posOiea: down. ' "Hie den was then car- 
ried Into the street. 

With the cracking of tbe flames, tbe trnm- 
peUng at tbe elephant. Little Hip. and the 
mad Toailng of the lions and the leopards, there 
was wild excitement without. Jose B^cardo. 
one of Ferarl's most intrepid trainers, had taken 
bis now hysterical wife outside. When Becardo 
tried to break away from ber to return and 
help Ferari, the now faalfH:razed woman, herself 
a fine exhibitor of wHd animals, sbrieiced like 
1 mad person. It took tbree policemen, assist- 
ed by ber husband, to carry .the frenzied woman 
gat of barm's way. So It Is notbln^ to the gal- 
lant Recardo's discredit that he could not give 
Ferari bis desired and valued assistance. - 

Men from tbe -outside rushed In to help. Those 
who eonld be «rf no assistance to Ferari and bis 
men cettlaa: t1» Hons and IfopacSs Into the 



slilftlng dens, helped Bonavita to save Little 
Hip. Little Hip's trainer. Captain Andre, was 
not. at band, so.be refused to badge. Once, by 
shoving and beattng. they got htm off the 
platform,' and no 'sooner bad they done this 
than they fought bis- way back. He stnck bis 
head In a feeding trough in the comer,' trum- 
peted madly and refused to bodge. If Andre 
bad only been there; or there bad been a sharp 
elepliant hook at hand. Little Hip might bavp 
been saved. 

By this time tbe roof of the Wfld Animal 
Arena was afiame. Ferari, assisted by Victor 
Levitt, his manager; Bonavita. Beverlo and 
others, had been working frantically. In a few 
minutes left to tbem tbey managed to get five 
lionesses, Victoria, Fatima, Pauline. Rosa and 
Sultana, as well as fonr fine leopards, into tbe 
shifting dens. This was all that they would 
hold, and they were carried to safety. Mean- 
while someliody bad" driven Ferart's sis trained 
ponies out of the burning bnildin;?. The ' rest 
had to be left to the fury of the flames, which 
now engnlfed Dreamland's famoas Wild Ani- 
mal Arenn. 

Ferari had hardly gotten the shifting dens 
into the street before tlie roof caved In and all 
was left to destruction. 

Bamboola. the wild man, had saved the baby 
Uoness. Marguerite, the daughter of Victoria. 
The following Is an exact list of the animals 
that perished: One elephant, five lions, two li- 
onesses, three pumas, one wolf, two bears, two 
blhybrlds, fonr leopards, one kangaroo, twelve 
monkeys, one larse baboon, one hyena, two 
deer, two cranes, two porcupines, one sea lion, 
..and & dozen rare birds. . 

Wben.. Ferari :had gotten tlie five lionesses and 
the fonr leopards, the baby lion. Marguerite, 
and the ponies safely boused, be learned that 
old Sultan, a big;. African lion, as well as one 
of the leopards, had somehow escaped from the 
burning arena. Both of tbe.se animals bad been 
shot by. policemen. 

Saltan caused the greatest commotion, for the 
reason that he was loosfr on Surf Avenue, while 
,the leopard was discovered on the sea shore 
and promptly killed. These were the only 
animals who were put out of the way witb hot 
lead. 

. Another sonrce of confusion has been that 
there are two Fcraris. Joseph G. and - Francis, 
both well-known In the wild animal business. 
The dispatches referred to Joseph G. Ferari as 
Colonel Ferari. In point of fact. It is Francis, 
not Joseph, who enjoys tbe title of Colonel. 
Joseph G. Ferari has been the recipient of a 
bost of cablegrams and telegrams of sympa 
thy f roib all parta of tbe world. No riiowman 



has appeared In these parts, who. In so short 
a time, bns so endeared himself to all as has 
Joseph G. Ferari. Without any thought of dis- 
paragement to Francis, while Joseph Q. may 
not be a ColoDel. he at lenst Is a prince. 

Tliat his losses were fully covered by Insur- 
aiu'O will be pleasant news tor Joseph G. Fera- 
ri's many friends. 

A day had hardly passed before Ferari bad 
pitched a tent on the ruins of Dreamland's 
Wild' Animal Arena and was open for business. 
Phoenlx-Uke, Ferari. like a gallant showman, 
had risen from tbe aabes. 

Since the fire. Louis Ruhe, tbe animal dealer, 
bas delivered te Ferari six African lions, three 
leopards and a fine puma. Others have been ca- 
bled tor. Fortunately, Ferari bad bis tents 
and spare cages stored outside of tbe park. 

But it was a terrific balf hour getting five 
lisnesses and fonr leopards out of tbe blazing 
arena.

REVIVAL OF A COUNTRY GIRL.

!:inning, just as Mine. Sembrlcb Is when she 
sits at the piano to sing The Maiden's Wish. 

"Other nice ditties In the piece are Coo, The 
Rajah of Bbong, Under the Deodar, I'm a 
Naughty Girl, Sloe Eyes and Peace, Peace. In 
the second act a dance was Interpolated, for 
-which- there should have been apologies made 
first' to Brahms and then -to the Hungarian 
.nation, as the main theme was -taken bodily 
from that composer's most famous Hungarian 
Dance arrangement. 

"Tbe piece was very well played by a very 
good company, headed by John Slavin. who. 
of course, has appeared as Barry liefore. He 
bas softened bis comedy method, however, until, 
as a consequence, it Is mncb more telling In Its 
effect than It used to be. He was very amus- 
ing In all of tbe scenes in wblcb he appeared, 
but be was most successful In bis Interpretation 
of the song about Me and Mrs. Brown. 

"Grace Freeman returned to the New York 
stage from which she has been absent, to act 
and sing the part of Marjorle. Genevieve Fin- 
lay was the Oriental Princess: Laura Jaffrav. 
Sophie, and Florence Bnrdett. Nan. 

"Robert Elliott was singularly effective as 
tbe Ralah of Bbong. and Melville Stewart ap- 
peared as Challoner. A large orchestra was well 
conducted by Anton EtelndL"

FILM NOTES. 



The Vltagrapb Company has planned to send 
a large company of players West to produce 
mays of the Western type. The people will 
leave some time in Jnne. and will stay IndeA- 
niteiy. This arrangement Is in connection with 
the Vitagraph's pl.m for more releases. 

Ask Bert Adier for an explanation as to bow 
his nice new train cap became so woefully 
spotted with axle grease. He has one explana- 
tion while George A. Maggie has another. It 
might be advisable to see the two. 

The Film Company, under the management 
of Mr. E. S. Manheimer, at 61 West 14th 
Street, Is doing tbe largest business In tbe his- 
tory of Its existence. This exchange was re- 
cently put under new management.

The Friars will play a return date of tbetr 
Frolic at the Globe Theatre, Friday evening, 
June 0. The change In plan from a proposed 
matinee performance at the New Amsterdam 
Theatre to the Globe Theatre was made because 
George M. Cohan and The Friars want to give 
one performance In Providence on Thursday ere- 
Bing. June S. This performance will be given 
at the Empire Theatre. It will lengthen the 
Friars' tour, which bas been uniformly sue- 
cesstul, one day. No change will be made In 
the program, except that additions will be made 
to the all-star east. 

Dp Witt C. Jennings, baa been re-engaged 
by the .'Vmhors' Producing Company tor tbe 
role of Giles Raymond, in The Gamblers. Ray* 
mond is the character commonly remembered 
as "the fellovr with tbe cigar In bis mouth,"

game that served to make this email part atend 
out as one of the brilliant features in tbe per- 
formance. 

The Glass House, « new fonr-act drama by 
Louis Kaufman Anspacber. was produced at tha 
Lyceum Theatre, Rochester, last week by the 
Hampden-Kidder Players, wl'tli Walter Hamp- 
den .'and- Katherlne Kidder In tbe leading roles. 
The play is a dissection of social conditions as 
the.r exist in New York today, and bas for Its 
tbvme the idea that true love between man and 
woman will outweigh anything which elthtr 
of tbem — even the woman — ^may have done prior 
to tbe beginning of tbeir motnal affection. 
Others In tbe cast were Sheldon Lewis, Mabel 
3Ioon\ Gdson MUefl. Ina Brooks. Hanna M. 
Clark, Ruth Allen, Edward Loosman and Un, 
VaiMlenhoir. 

The Charles J. Ross Company has accepted for

STERN & COMPANY NOTES. 



he was so successful. Whatever reputation ho 
attained by his success in The Arcadians will 
be added to after a sUort period in Taudevllle. 
Knlglit is bringing into use four numl>ers to 
m-ake op bis vaudeville act. The Drat is called 
Little by Little and Bits by Bits, ot which he 
sane four verses. The second 16 a clever comic, 
SOUK, a is his third. Tbe fourth number is 
called Don't Apologize, the lyrics of which are 
Just as fanny as those of his preceding songs. 
Knisht is an artist and he has an offering which 
should put him to the very front In the variety 
field. 

VALENTINE AND BELL. Novelty Cyclists. 
10 minutes. Full stage. Hammerstelne 
Victoria. , 
One can find something new la the too tine 
of tricks performed by Valentine and Bell, a 
man and a woman, who are doing a cvcling act 
that registers a mark above the average. What- 
ever good work they do is helped along by 
appearance, which the woman especially pos- 
sesses. She is' sprlgbtly and gracefnil. while the 
man. too, does his worlc with ease and grace. 
Hammerstein's audiences have a penchant for 
walking out just before tbe last act goes on. 
and those who left early last week, missed an 
act that Ins fe w. If any, enperlois In its class.

THEATBE 8TBIKE. 

Tbe Rosslan opera season at the Tbeatie Bem- 
bardt bad to cancel Its Wednesday night's per- 
formance this week iiecaose of tronble with Its 
ractaestra. Koney was refnnded to a packed 
boose, wlilcb waited nntn after 10 o'clock, bm- 
tag tbat the troobie wonid be adjusted. Onlv 
tbe aodlenee did not Icnow what the troable 
KSDy was. It was ~ announced from the stage 
that tbe principal tenor was in and tbat bis 
understudy could not, be found, but the real lea- 
aaa was far different from that. 

Tbe leader of the orchestra Iiad been dls- 
diatged and most. If not all. of bis musicians 
aided with him. So wben the time for the per- 
formance came, not a man was in his place in 
tbe pit- To make it utterly impossible for the 
weaker-kneed members of the (vcbestra to play 
eren If they bad wished, reinforced by some em- 
ergency musicians^ one of tbe players made off 
with the entire oreiiestratlon and bid It qnite 
effeetlvelr. As I write. It Is feared tbst farther 
troiibre may ailse. 

CLAKETIE ACCUSED. 
M. PIgot, a dramatist, accuses Joles Claretle. 
of the Comedle Francaise, of plagiarism, charg- 
ing that Claretie got his inspiration for Therese 
from an opera which he. Pigot, and Henri l,ntz. 
wrote in 1801 and submitted to tbe Concoarse 
of the City of Parts. It , appears that Claietle 
was a member of tbe Jtor of amrte at that

POWERS' STUDIO C ONSUMED 

Big Blaze Fed by Celluloid Destroys the Uninsured Two-story Frame Plant of the 

Powers* Moving Picture Co. 



New York, June lo (Special to The Bill- 
board). — ^At 3 o'dock Monday afternoon, 
June 5, the home of the Powers Company 
was completely destroyed by fire, the origin 
of which is attributed to a roll of celluloid 
film which took aflame from the heat of a 
hanging electric lamp suspended from the 
ceiling of the polishing room. The big build- 
ing, located at 241st and Richardson Avenue 
in the Bronx, New York City, contained the 
entire plant of the company. On the ground 
floor was tlie studio, the big stage, tfie de- 
veloping room and the printing room. Along 
a gallery ran tlie dressing roo 11s of the play- 
ers. On the second floor were the work- 
rooms and the storage rooms for tlie many 
thousands of feet of exposed and unexposed 
films and the offices. 

Stage Manager Beall was as.sembling the 
cpmpany for . the rehearsal of a ball-roo n 
scene in the studio at the inception of the 
fire. A], Leach, the cantera operator, was get- 
ting ready to take the pictures of the produc- 
tion, when an employee on the upper floor 
noticed the flames and gave warning b)' out- 
cry. The film offered such a combustible 
food for the flameis that the .stock cortipany. 
together with the employees iii the varibits 
departments, made escape 
with all celerity, realizing 
that the structure itself 
was entirely of wood and 
the contents of the factory 
so highly inflammable. 
They had no time to run 
for their clothes, but were 
driven out into the driz- 
zling weather in their cos- 
tumes and working gar- 
ment.';. The perfomiers 
see-rc<l indeed most piti- 
nd and at the same time 
ludicrous, observing in 
ball-room attire the de- 
^itruction of their street 
clothes left in the dressing 
rooms. 

Ihc blaze ' progressed 
with remarkable rapiditv, 
"IK- explosion following 
another; finst the fdn. 
ttH'ii a tank of turpcn- 
tiiU'. the bursting of the 
'nnnincrablc electric bulbs.

concussion of the falling roof. The engine 
companies in Williamsbridge/ the section of 
the Bronx where the Powers factory was lo- 
cated, are quite a, distance from the plant, 
and before their arrival, the flames had con- 
■.sumed several -adjacent dwellings^- 

At the time of the fire,-Pat Powers, presi- 
dent of the company, was at tiie Sales Cofn- 
pahy>- and when notified --'immediately by 
Tommy Evans over phone; hastened f6 the 
scene, arriving just in time" to see the -last of 
his plant fall : to the ground. Aitelr beijjg^ 
assured that nobody bad lost their lives, he 
directed the saving of such things as could 
be saved. The loss is estimated at $100,000. 
a quantity or about one million feet of un- 
exposed stock, as well as many prodpctions 
that had already been photographed arid Were 
being held over "for later releasing. Tommy 
Evans conceived the idei of tuniing loss into 
profit, and together with Al. LeacH, the 
Powers photographer, directed the ■ camera 
on the conflagration, snapping a most excel- 
lent reel of film, giving an accurate reproduc- 
tion of the fire and the efl[orts of the fire de- 
partment to combat with it. 

The quality : of the material of which tlie 
bviilding' was constructed and of the contents. 

rendered the fighting vof 
the fire so difficult that 
the fire nen's work had 
little effect on it. The 
building was practicalh- 
consumed within thirty 
minutes time, and so in- 
tense was the heat that 
one building fully two 
hundred feet away was 
scorched and charred. 
The building . next door 
to the studio was com- 
pletely burned up. It was 
the property of Fireman 
Finger, one of the men 
who helped fight the 
flames. Within ten min- 
utes from the time the 
piece of film caught from 
an incandescent electric 
lamp near which it; was 
being wound, the entire 
building, was in flames. 
Many of the actofs and 
actresses were unable- to 
obtain- a stitch of street 
clothing, but rushed to 
the street in costume.

BILL AT HAMMERSTEIN'S. ^ 

New York. June 10 (Special to The Billboard). 
— Monday night was an Inauspicious time for 
the opening of the Hammeratein Roof. The 
weather conditions were execrable for entertain- 
ment in an out-of-doors tbestre. tbe elements 
acting coolly after a steady rain the entire day, 
consequentlv the attendance at the Boof sntTereti- 
Wben the flrst act went on at S:03 there was a 
mere corporal's guard present to applaud the 
performers. " 

Hammersteln's Roof hasn't been changed very, 
much excepting for the fact that It has been, 
tastefully redecorated and everything made to 
appear new. A big attraction, aalde from the 
vaudeville show, is the Suftlagette Farmi In the 
Garden. 

The show started at 8:03. Pike and Galium, an 
act new to faster company, were the-- openers. 
Thev are reviewed under. New- Acts. 

After the flrst number there was a continual 
shifting of po.sltlons. The Coleen Sisters, wire 
artists, were prcgramed to flU Spot No. 2. hot 
Monday night they closed the show. Charlotte 
St. Klmo also a new act. who was originally 
billed fot No. 3 followed the opening. 

Roberts' Trained Bats and Cats, holding a 
ticket for Spot 13, were movcil down to No. :;. 
In that position the act did very nicely. 

One of the real hits of the entire riiow were 
the Pederson Brothers, who do a ring act. the 
like of wblob has never l)cen seen around here. 
The comedian of the team is extremely clever. 
So Is the straight man, 

Jartow, the trickster, followed the Pedersoo 
Brothers in No. 5. taking the places of Barnes 
and Crawford, who were programed but did not

authoritatively made public that the place lias 
hi^^n leam-d by a bifz syudicate* wbicli will soon 
tear it down and erect a twenty^fire story of- 
ti<-e building ia its steud. To thousands of New 
Yorkers and tens-of-thonsands of American^:, 
the demolition of this famous old auditorium, 
which, for £K> many years, hns been the home 
of the horse show, sportsman's show, six-day 
Idcy^'Ie race, circus, wild west shows and other 
Klfsantle attractions, including in former years 
Homo of the greatest puglistic battles ever 
fought, is looked upon with envious eyes and 
scorned with derision. 

Since the flcst rumor of the Garden sale was 
circulated, mimy have been In hopes that some 
historical society or some wealthy and charitable 
person would purchase the building and preserve 
it tor a muE»um. or some similar purpose. This 
would have uifaut tli» Kwndinj; of an i.mmensi- 
sum of money., as it Is claimed by the owners of 
the building- that money was lost in its opera- 
tion. White it rented for a large sum. the enor- 
mous expenses ato up the rents. 'Not long ago 
it was state<! that Mrs. W. H. Harriman. wife 
of the late railroad magnate, had purchased the 
(xarden and would not allow It to be torn down, 
bat the sale proves one of the many groundless 
mmnxft , that have been, heralded tlirnutsiiuut tii»f 



To the New Ybrfeer and traveled American, 
the history, of Madison Square Garden needs no 
introduction. Since 18S8. the time of Its erection 
at a cost of $3,000,000. this great home of 
amusements has been one of the sights to the 
visitor and- the borne of delight to the Manhat- 
tanlte. Perhaps no other building in this coun- 
try has been so cosmopolitan In its audiences. 
Kncb time 'Of tlie year bad its own special func- 
tion, carrying with it its own partlcnlar caste. 



Thomas Davis 



Dead 



Tlicrc WHf* the aristocratic horse show, attended 
by America's best society and men and women 
of fashion, the' big sporting events, in which 
the most famous athletes competed, and the 
big circus, where the uewsbtiy f<>d the elephant 
I»eanuts with childi^ih delighi. be^^liles bundreds 
of minor events. _^ 
What New Yoric will do In the future for a 
building of this kind has yet to be decided upon. 
Some think the Hippodrome will take its place, 
but BO long as its managers have u money-mak- 
ing prfqwsition there, there is little possibility 
of them changing. Of course when the Garden 
is torn down, there will go with it. one of the 
most famous theatres in New York" City — the 
Garden Theatre. Tbls playltouse has been the 
home of some of New York's greatest dramatic 
productions. 

How long before work of tbe new building 
will be started has not been made public. But 
that interests the general public very little; 
what It Is thinking about: where Is it to find 
another home of amusement that seemed so 
free, so homelike and so restful ?

hero and heroine of tbls drama do. VounK^ 
persons of any nationality may In faet act iu 
just the same manner If they follow uo other

divulgence of these teudenci<v is not particu-

of a mesage of beauty or cmllgfatenment. 

•There is scarcely a trace of dramatic tcnslou 
in the play- Halbe would never have beeu 
acclaimed a genius at bis time In Germany bad 
he not spurned the well-made drama. So of 
action in the dramatic sense there is scarcely 
a suggestion. In ita place- there Is the fre^iuent

Portsmouth, N. H,. June 6 (Special to The 
Billboard). — Finding that some theatrical man- 
agers win not allow sailors in uniform to attend 
the performances, six hundred bine- jackets have 
boycotted this city, and In the future will go 
elsewhere to spend their wages. It is estimated 
that $25,000 is paid the men stationed here ev- 
ery moQtti. and' merchants ai"l picture showmen 
count bearily on this for their receipts, for tbe 
month. ■ Snt now that the sailors have decided 
to boycott the city entirely, owing to the ri'fusal 
of a manager to allow a nniformeil man in tils 
show, will 'work good revenge for the jack-a- 
tars. 

From now on. the city of Boston will reap 
the reward of - being patriotic' enough to see 
that Uncle Sam's- boys have plenty of proper 
entertainment, and it w'lll' matter Httlc to the

pleting his new residence, on .Maple 'Villa Farm. 
The beadqaarters In' Cktlombus In charge of Ed- 
wards (}anard are connected -with' the farm by 
long distance phone and it can easily be guessed 
that Mr. Field is a right busy vacationist. 
However the production for next season -Is about 
completed. Mr. Field has been at wwk' on ii 
since December. If tbe scenery were ready the 
show could open Its next aesson In one. month. 

Oflnmhua has quite- a minstid cdony. Slany 
of the company wbo have been llztnres for 
years -have purchased bouses in or near the city, 
where the company alwaya rehearses and opens. 
Many of those engaged with the show are per- 
manent fixtures. A few have been with the 
company 25 years, many have been on Its pay 
rolls 20 years, while those who have been there 
but 16 yeaia are re^rded as newcomers.

cheered and entranced minstrel patrona for forty 



Dan D. Emmett made his farewell appearance 
with the Al. G. Held Greater Minstrels — a fare 
well tour of the country. One year later he 
died. Al. G. Field had been Emmett'a friend 
and patron for many years. Emmett favored 
Mr., neld In the early days of his professions I 
career and Mr. Field never foigot the kindness. 

When Emmett died there was a movement In- 
aogurated to erect a monument over bla resting 
place. Nothing tangible ever came of It. II 
Is hoped at the memorial services the monument 
project may be revived, given new Impetna ami 
that tbe moanment may be erected, it Is pro- 
posed to Interest the Daughters of the C!on 
federacy in the matter. The monument will nn- 
dnubtedly be erected but It bag long been a 
matter of dispute as to wbere It will be located. 
Xatnrally those of Emmvtt's home city desire 
the moanment placed over his grave while those 
i'f the South who honor his memory that be gave 
to the world Dixie, a song that will ever live 
In tbe memory of man as the. song of tbe South. 
Insist the monument be erected In a soutbem 
city. Mr. Field, who has been active In the 
matter, favors locating the monument In a 
sontbem city. it is no-«sIMe all this will be

DIRIGIBLE BALLOON DISASTERS. 



The Germans have shown as much enthusiasm 
and patriotic pride In dirigible balloons ot the 
Zeppelin type as the French bsve msolfested 
in the lighter but swifter aeroplane. The Ger- 
man confidence in tbe dirigible bas been based 
on ita ability to transport a number of passen- 
gers bnt it must be confessed the record of tbe 
dirigible bas been far from as saUstactocy as 
could have t>een wished. 

BerenGy the sixth of the series of Zeppelin 
dirigibles or llgbter-tban-air balloons came to 
grief, being wrecked by a sudden gust ot wind 
against a roof from which pn-parafions were 
making to elfect a start. A number of inen 
were on hand tn control the great dirigible, bnt 
on aceomt of Its great bulk It conld not be re- 
strained In tbe strong wind, and pounded Itsplf 
to iileces. This latest disaster will a<M another 
considerable sum to the money that has hseh 
sunk In the Zeppelin enterprlaea. 

Tbe Zeppelin dlriglblea are what Is known 
ss tbe rigid type, the gss bags b<<lug contained 
within an envelope of light metal, the propell- 
ing machinery and tbe passengers iM'Ing carried 
In a car underneath. Every one of the six alr- 
slil|ts has «'ost a 'large amount of nt«mey. ana 
practically all have come to a similar end, due 
to stldilen gnats of wind, rorlnnstely. while 
the money |<i»s bas been great, the loss of I"* 
has been small— In tact, next to nothing— which 
to la strong eontrast to the aeroplane reconl. 

Whether the latest Zeppelin disaster tclll 
shake ine miilldenre nf the Germans In that 
type of slrshliM* remains to he seen. Its i>nssl- 
blllt|i-s for military purposes Is what mslnly 
appeals to the Germans. Everything Is sulNir- 
dlnated to military r-qulrements in Ihe em- 
pire, and ao Ions ss there Is a p'ssiHisMe pros- 
pect that an airship will tie devls,.>l which rsn 
transport a nnmlier of men with reasonable cer. 
talpty. the dirigible form ot atixhlp Is likely to 
be adhered to. 

It Is reptirted that In Prance thIa anmmer'a 
exiierlments with aeroplanes will extend to 

riamengiT oariylng. with a view fii deniunelr"!- 
ng thai -a besvliT'thsn-alr msrblne Is rapahie 
ot rarrylng through the air a «•»«! number m 
persona. Rbtnild this prove to Im> the ease, the 
main reenmniendstlon of the dlrlglMe balloon 
for military iinriK>sea will lie abatterrd.

Col. Jim Hutton, . that :"Rrand old Southerner 
whom everybody in^ the show, business knoivs and. 
loves, is directinR th& exploitation -of the movins 
pictures of the twenty-first reunion of Confeder- 
ate Veterans and will exhibit them througlioul 
thfr United States alon^ with a descriptive lec- 
ture and appropriate mn^lc. Coi. Button was 
himself a noticeable figure in tbe gray -c-ad -army 
which fought In the Civil War, and was dceiily 
iokpressed with tbe movloff pictures, which 
Ikruught back to Um the days when ^ the South 
and her sons were- cngatred in the ^mammoth 
^ »(tniggle which brought brother against -brother. 
The realism of the pictures* brongfat tears to 
the eyes of tlie colonel as he saw Ids old com- 
radrs pass in' review on the .film, with battle 
fiass flving and drnms beating -the time which 
fifty yt^ars ago .urged him on to battle. The 
plcturre. will stir the heart of every Southern 
man or woman and will make the pulse of the 
most prosaic Northerner hit faster. 

Col. Hutton will send out a number of com- 
panies to tour the South aiul show the pictures 
tmder Uie auspices of the St>ns of Confetleratc 
Veterans and the Daughters of, the Confederacy, 
both of which organizations heartily endorse 
. tbem as bL^torical records: of priceless value. 
The smaller theatres througbont the country 
will IH! ailowe*! .the opportunity to show this 
SHl>Ject to their patrons also, for a sufficient 
nnmt>er of copies have been made by the Indus- 
trial Moving Picture Company to take care of 
the big demand already «made for them. 

Wattersoa It. Bothacker. -manager of the In- 
dustrial Moving Picture Company, who went to 
Uttle Rock and completed the deal which re- 
snitrd ill the ofllcial toldng of the pictures, has 
received niunbcrtess inquiries from the South, 
and each and every couunnnlcatlon was replete 
' with words praising the undertaking. 

The patriotic citizens of Little Rock wIm> are 
directing this exhibition, namely: President 
Cregg of the Cliamber of Commerce; W. G. 
' Hutton. county , treasurer of Pulaski County; 
; and Judge. Cavanaugh, are prompted more by 
reasons^ of patriotism than commercial gain, and 
rbeir eCforts In. tills regard have been commended 
from all sldes^ . 

Coi: Hutton has opened an- office' !n Chicago, 
from where he will direct, the : booking of the 
films.' They first will be shown at Little Rock 
and then the various- exhibiting companies will 
tour the South and afterwards will appear in 
the North before the various Southern clubs. 
Films have also been reserved for the smaller 
cities so- that every one will have a chance to 
see the $reat gathering of tlie elite of the South 
and their heroes, the thinning army of veterans.

THE DEATH OF DOIT JUAH. Eclair. Drama, 
length, 9«i feet. Released June 26. 
This la a \'ery rich and costly production, ex- 
hibiting fiome very beautiful scenery and cos- 
tumes as well as beantiful and graceful people, 
and telling a very dramatic and Interesting story. 
It Is very unfortunate that the plot is not made 
more clear, as It is a very deep one and strong. 
The Introduction of the supernatural adds greatly 
to the cloud surrounding the plot and makes It 
more difficult to understand. It would not be a 
bad thing. In constractlng a reel of this kind, 
to tell the whole story before beginning the 
play, as It Is of such depth that the portrayal 
would not be marred by the explanation ' preced- 
ing. This has been an enormous production, 
and is truly a Sne one. It is excellently photo- 
grapbed.

Cincinnati, O. 
Dear Sir — I noticed In psst week's Issae of 
Old Bniyboy where E. C. Monce states that he 
is tile man who first orifcinated the swinging 
ladders. 1 think X can safely deny this, as 1 
know that Charles Knox and Peter Dunn were 
making swings over buildings sixteen years 
ago and that's long before BIr. Moace's time, as 
he only came into the business In the year of 
1906. 

TrnstlBg that yon will publish this only to 
right matters, I remain, 

Xonia truly.

PENNSYLVANIA BILLPOSTERS 17th 
ANNUAL ME ETIN G IN PHILA. 

A very interesting. Instructive and satisfactory 

business occasion, with delightful, liberal social 
diversion, was tbe seventeenth annual meeting 
of the Pennsylvania Billposters' Association, at 
the Hotel Walton, Philadelphia, June 1 and 2. 
A business session was held from 1:30 until 5 
o'clock Ihursday afternoon, with President John

"Seventeen Years Young:" "If you And sand 
in the sugar of life, swallow It quickly and 
don't grit your teeth;" "If you are determined 
to belittle your work and consider It nnlm- 
portsnt, then you will never Uu it well; "A 
man, his stationery, his oUce, indicates bis busi- 
ness methods. Appearouces rarely deceive 
others;" "If 1 can not afford oueo in a yfj*^ 
lo meet my associates In the same business; if I 
don't want to know what they are doing, —en my 
billpostlng business is aot what it caa be made 
to be;" "Sevtnteeu years young and still grow-

IS PANTOMI ME RE ALLY DEAD? 
By BOBEBX GBATT. 

Hopes were entertained with the advent of 
tbe Ulppoilrome, that pantomime, which a geu- 
eratlou ago was the reigning attraction, would 
be revived, bnt year after year poises wttliont 
the least etfort to bring forth tbe dear old style 
of entertainment which In the days of George L. 
Fox. held sway wherever the theatxe was a 
factor. 

Poor Fox — ^when he died he took pantomime to 
his grave with him. He was the ideal Grimaidi 
•f the era in which lie lived. 

When Fex produced Humpty Dnmpty at the 
Olympic Theatre (618 Broadway) It bad the 
prtMliglons rail of 60O nights^ and this was only 
surpassed In , America once— -and then by The 
Black Crook, whicb bad a mn In excess of 700 
nights.: But: Fox's career Is not a particularly 
happy one to relate. He asulreil to serious work 
—and tnd.v was a great actor, but when the au- 
. diences who were wont to hold their aides at 
bis gyrations as a clown — ^were asked to applaud 
bis Hamlet, tliey laughed so that it broke the 
poor pantomlmist's beart. 

vAU the: clowns of poor Fox's day were great 
actors.! These were: James S. Moffett, Robert 
Butler. Robert Fraser and Tony Denier. These 
an : proated: as- lonp as Fox llvetl, but at bis 

. demise a gloom, was cast over this superb art, 
aad no effort seems to be made to revive it In 

. -this: coimtry. altbougb In London and thronghout 
Great Britain, pantomime Is as potent as ever, 
and during the holiday and Easter seasons, the 
majority Of the theatres present modern as well 
as ancient pantomimes. 

The advent of the "art" dancer has brought 
about the nse of plays without words, but none 

. of these have sliown the element of longevity. 
Even tiiat delicious masterpiece.' L>'Eufant I'roJ- 
Isue. wliea originally , presented here at Daly's 
Theatre, with Pilar Morln. aided by tbe gtpat 
piano virtuoso;. ■ M- Tnrbanne. met wi b only a 
lukewarm leceptlan. and the aopeib art of 
Mme. Modn bas gone begging ever aiaee for 
waat of a vAI£Ie with wUch she coiUd conjure' 
the public. . 

There is no indication that in the near future 
the real oldtlme pantomime vogue will be re- 
newed, though It is not to be questioned that 
If the Hippodrome management woold make a 
genuine effort to revive Humpty Dnmpty, It 

. would create a furore. 

Spectacle and pantomime go band la hand, 
and both seem to be bnried for all time. It U 
iadeed strange how pnbUc taste does assert It- 
self. There has not been a spectacle presented 

: la this coimtry since Ben Hur. yet that pto- 
dnetloa Is la its twelfth year, and has enriched 
Its producers to the extent of over one mill Inn 
dollars.' and Is yet one of the most compelling 
attractions wherever It Is presented. In fact. In 
a city like Altotms. Pa., a one-night stand, 
it has twice bad a week's run. and la each ia- 
staace played to gross receipts In excess of 
»12.000. 

The next two years will witness a period ef 
revivals of old plays, and grand opera la Ea^IIsb. 
Why may not some iatrepid entrepreneur 
leiapt fate with pantomime. Perhaps In 
madnit times a spectacular setting woOId be

although during tbe veason of 1900. when she 
was piaytne in The Man From Home at ths 
Broadway Theater. Denver, tbe Denver Post used 
In a "small foot" competition tbat was then 
running Miss May's slippers as the modol. 

It was s regulsr Cinderella competition and 
the prise was awarded to the owner of the 
foot wbltA came nearest fitting Miss May's 
shoe. Small feet are no fun. according to Miss 
May. and they are quite expensive. "It seems 
to me tbe smaller tbe font the higher the price

and tlylDg at an altitude of 3.000 feet, en- 
countered a violent wind, which rocked his ma-

by The daring Frenchman. ).t was thongbt that 
ho would surely reach the : main land witbont 
nilshap. After waiting his arrival for many 
hours, persons on both shores became alarmed 
as to bis safetj* and torpetlo boats were sent out 
to look for him. After finding no trace of either 
aviiitor or machine It was coiichided that the 
macliine mu!*t have overturned and sunk before

Resume of the Week's Important Amuse 



BALTIMORE, MD. 

since Blver View Park opened for tbe season, 
large crowds tuve been flocUne to tbls famoos 
resort. Tbe park presented a brilliant appear- 
ance and every ttalng was brlgbt and fieab. 
Every- attraction on tlie Midway was In Its 
place and the park was In each a shape that the 
people were enthoslastte In their praise of the 
eneicetic eSoitB of the mansftement. Consider- 
ing tbe saceesB thos acUeTea, this season will 
1» onptecedented as the banner year for Blver 
View Park. The leading attraction on the 
Midway Is tbe Diving Girls, onder the manage- 

■ ment of Mr. Dempster. Miss Blanche Whitney 
Is tbe big feature with the show. MIsa Whitney 
Is tbe female wrestling champion and In recent 
efforts, she proved her distinction to this title. 
Several weeks ago Miss Kelly appeared at the 
Cayetr -wltlt The Psiisian Widows, meeting all 

: comess and diallenged Miss W&ltn^ and which 
was accepted.' Miss Whitney staid tbe limit 
with her opponent and was challenged for an- 
other bout for the following night. 

Miss Whitney -went on again and threw Miss 
Kelly In Ies» than two n^utes. 

During the past season Miss Whitney met Cora 
Livingston In l^liiladelphia. and secured a vlctoty. 
Dnring her stay at the park. Miss WUtney has 
met several local favorites and each case, proved 
lieraelf the master of the mat. 

-Among the diving girls. Miss Florence Flem- 
ing of: Brooklyn. N. x., has a great record of 
achievements. She Is an expert swimmer and 
her performance Is very Interesting. Her clever 
«Porlc has aronsed much Interest and sbe received 
an offer from a fashionable women's dab to 
teach the members tbe art of swimming. Miss 
Norah I^aMar- is a very clever girl and her or- 
iginality in performing several dives has evoked 

' the praise of expert swimmers. Sbe does some 
<dever comedy features which are excellent. 
Miss Sadie- Cuxit- is the girl -with the splasb 

' and she makes a Mt every Ume sbe takes a dip. 
Tlie Boyal Artillery Band la tbe big bit at tbe 
park and tl^e many attractions are doing wen.

table stage win be erected for theatrical per- 
formances and moving pictures. 

Hr. lofan T.:: McCaSUn has been operating an 
airdome at Cheater and I^svale Streets. Ed- 
ward BozellB, known In the profession as Pnnch 
Bozella. met with a serlons accident while work- 
ing In connection -with tbe show. For sometime, 
Bfe. McCasIln has been sending np paper air- 
ships for advertising pnrposes and they bave 
created much mystery In this neigfaliorhood. On 
the night of Jnne 1. one of tbese paper balloons 
was sent np and it became entangled -with wires. 
Rosella climbed a pole to release It and while 
descending his hand tonched a live wire, which 
released bis bold and be was thrown to tbe

with the weather the hottest on record for 
this season of the year, bnslness is good at the

unexplalnable. Two houses that have l>een do-

JOHN MORRISEY. 



RICHMOND, VA. 

The somewhat extraordlnaxy struggle between 
the theatrical Interests headed by Jake Wdls 
and his bnslacss associates on one dde, and the 
Episcopal and Roman Catholic churches of the 
city, on the other, continues with unabated 
energy. 

The legal right of the . theatrical Interests to 
establish a home heie for tbe United Booking 
Oflice "big time** acts immediately opposite St 
Peter's Cath<dic Chnrch, and In the same block 
with St. Paul's Episcopal Chnrch Is tbe bone 
of contention. To this time tbe fortunes of war 
liave gone against the Hieatrlcal men. 

As a:nieans of preventing Mr. Wells and bl!> 
associates^ from opening ■ a Taudeville house at 
the coniec of Eighth and Grace Streets, the 
chnrch people. have had an ordinance passed by 
the-., common .-. council, prohibiting the licensing 
of a theatre within 150 feet of any chnrch. Th>- 
measure now goes to the Board of Aldermen and 
there Is every reason to believe that the alder- 
mea will concur in tbe ordinance by an over- 
whelming majority. The fight will then be car- 
ried to the Supreme Court of Virginia, In al' 
probability. 

The theatrical men are In no humor to aban- 
don the struggle and will flgbt to tbe last ditch 
H. S. Wallerstein. a wealthy real estate oper- 
ator; Is building the theatre. The site Is now 
beln? cleared- Wells and his partners are bound 
to Wallerstein by a ten years' lease at a rental 
said to be fl2.000 a year. Wallerstein says his 
contract merely requires him to build and de- 
liver the theatre to the lessees. It they are 
unable to occupy It for the purpose Intended 
that, of course. Is their tioable. Wallerstein 
iias ample secority to jniarantee the payment of 
the rentals whether the building is used for a 
theatre or a delicatessen store. 

Mr. Wells and fals> associates have tbe sym- 
pathy of many of the business men of the 
city, bnt nnfortnnately the City Cotmdl Is 
swayed by the sentiment of the chnrch people, 
who larselj- n'prcseut the political constituency 
of the Council members. And there yon are. 

M. I.. Hofhelmer, the "new Kapoleon of the 
Virginia theatrical field," Ig rushing tbe con-

In tbls state in many years. Seven months ago

fore the opening of the next regular dramatic 
season Hofheliher wm he the largest Individual 
owner of theatres in the Sontbem countrv. He 
will bave a circuit embracing the dHea of Bich- 
mond. Norfolk. Petersbmrg. Lynehbnrg, Roanoke. 
Danville and probably one or more cities. In 
the towns named he ban leased houses or Is 
building them. His financial resources are ap- 
parently very large. Be is a mystery to the 
established theatrieal internets, who natnrally 
regard his activities with apprehension.

room In them. The show was good throughout. 
This again looks like the patrons of tbe cheaper 
amusements bave not got tbe price to spare. 

A feature of the appearance of tbe Bamum 
and Bailey Show, not on tbe regular .program, 
occurred on Saturday night after the show was 
over. Tom Bankine, whom tbe press bad been 
landing all week on tbe excellence of his voice, 
in announcing the events of the big arena, invit- 
ed all to bis home on McPherson Avenue, and a 
small banquet was prepared for them. It proved 
a most enjoyable affair, and some of them missed 
the train, but all were on hand Monday at Terre 
Haute. Ind.. the next stop. Among those pres- 
ent, outside of the -press and newspa[>er men. 
were: Cljde Ingalls, side show manager; Carl

College Park is located about midway between 
Baltimore and Washington, and because of Its 
contiguity to two large dties. the American 
Aero Exhibition Company several weeks ago was 
chartered with tbe express purpose of giving 
exhibitions of arts. Industries, sciences and ath- 
letics of various kinds. The charter provides 
also that tbe organization may conduct such 
other amusements and entertainments which the 
board of directors may deem proper for the pur- 
imse of encouraging the growth and development 
of aviation and kindred contests in America. 

Of course, it can not well be claimed that 
prize fights are very much akin to aviation. 

It Is at College Park that the Bex Smith 
Aeroplane Company bave their headquarters for 
the manufacture of their machines, and even 
now It Is a blve of iDdUBtnr.

Public Welfare Board and tbe Provident Asso-

thia free matinee to such as they deemed wor-

& Harris, of the Western States, also stated 
they could not see their way clear to sign a 
contract where they claim they would be re- 
sponsliile for the full salary of any performer 
they may book, and claim the risk too great 
in order to earn five per cent. As the White

outcome will be.

John Kowalsky's aeroplane, made perfect af-

Sunday evening. June 4. Mr. Kowaisky had 
njade several sncceasful flights, reaching an 
altitude of 200 feet, whicb was remarkable con- 
sidering the fact that this was Mr. Kowalsky's 
first trip in the air. The aeroplane was in the 
air when the storm came up. and Mr. Kowalsk 
■naoe a quick descent, and got the machine i'l 
the hangar safely. However the wind reachttl 
joch a high velocity that the hangar was blown 
down, completely demolishing the aeroplane.

FAIR NOTES. 

Plans are progressing splendidly for the Thir- 
tiexh Annual Xew Mexico Fair, which will be 
held in Alhnrinernue, JTew aiexlco, October 9 
to 14. The fair thla. year will b& on a larger 
Bcalo than ever before. S?Cretary-Manager John 
B McManos has been negotlatlag for some time 
with well known aviators and Is now ready to 
sign a contract fer dally aeroplane flights dur- 
ing the fair. To the great majority of New 
Mexico p*«nle, expert aeronlnne flicbts are as 
yet a minus quantity^ and it Is believed the 
flights at tlie fair vrlll proove a strong drawing 
card. A feature of the fair this year as during 
the two previous fairs, will be a flfte^ mile 
Indian marathon race, to be participated In 
between representatives of the vartoas twenty- 
five tribes of Indians in Xew- M^Ico. I<ast year 
tbe race was won by lanatl. a Zunl. in 1:25 
12?C. Tile Kew Mexico Pair Association is now 
a member (rik the Santa Fe racing circnit. which 
includes the most progressive fair associations 
in the Southwest* the purses of the Circuit ex- 
ceedlng^ $30,000. Five races each day will make 
up the racing card, whl^ with cowboy relay 
races and buck and eqaaw races win furnish 



on a new track 5nst over the Idaho line from 
Spokane. The result of this .will be that the 
mnning horses will be there and the trotters will 
be making the circuit. This will bring the f nirs 
to £lve a part of the usual money for xnnnlng 
races to high-dass attractlens. 

One of the oldest fairs in the United States Is 
the Genesee County Agricullural Fair held at 
Batavia. N. Y. The society was organized in 
1839» and has met once, each year ever since. 
The society was incorporated in ISHS, It Is 
the largest (except the State Fair) fair In 
tile state and one of the most successful. Tbe 
grounds cover fifty acres. The buildings are 
of wood, but all in excellent condition. This 
fair has the largest main exhibition building 
of any local fair lu the state and al.so some of 
the best live stock buildings; the cattle build- 
ing being, without exception, tbe best In the 
state. The fair Is open to the world and many 
of the exhibits at the state fair go to tbe 
Batavia Fair. During the season the racetrack 
is kept in good condition and many noted trainers 
are at the track. Batavia Is a town of 12.000, 
the fair gronnds being located on the mala 
road* one mile Crwa the Imsiness center , of the 
city. 3wo ambling or immoral shows are al- 
lowed during the annnal exhibitions. The f.ilr 
offerg many first-class free vaudeville enter- 
taimnents in front of the grand stand and pay 
liberal prices for same. In ad<litioa to* the 
r^pilaf platform attractions aeroplane flights 
by reliable and well-known aviators will be a 
feature. 

The Lake County Fair at Crown Point, Ind., 
Aug. 22 to 25. is one of tbe leading fairs In 
Northern Indiana, because of It being one of tbe 
few to hold night shows In connection with th^ 
day fair, is rapidly framing tbe amnsementi« 
which will be put on. This fair has operated a 
night show for many years, beln^ among tbe 
first to take np the proposition, and It has proven 
a feature ever since. This fair spends a large 
amount yearly for free acts — In the neighbor- 
hood of $2,000. Tbe night feature this year will 
be a great pyrotechnic display by Pain, and 
a bin of free acts which shows days also. 
It wUI include the Marco Twins, the Bruno- 
Kramer Trio of Hamberg. Germany ; Provost 
KtJtbers* and the two allppeiy kinks. Bary and 
Landore; Barney Tonng and his eoncert bau-l.

street car and an automobile. Tbe speed -program 
this year Is the best ever ofTered by the exhi- 
bition. The dates are September S to 16. 

Tbe officers of the Rensselaer County Agri- 
cultural and HortlcnUnral Association have 
chosen a very attractive title for their annual 
fair. Their event Is called the Big Fair and 
will be held In Rensselaer Park. Neib York, 
August 15 to 18. It will be open daXts from

a most formidable rival of the New York State

Tbe Whlttakers, a new swlmmlug attraction 
from Milwaukee, opens shortly at tbe Western 
fairs booked by Tom Brantford of Chicago. This 
(ttractlou, wblch Is of a sensatlon:sI nature, 
contains many new and novel feats for outdoor 
amusement and It Is an attraction bard to equal. 
There are three members In tbe act, one a 
handsomely formed woman, wbo performs fancy 
dives and tbe like. The othera are expert shal- 
low water divers. All three have a long list 
of rt'cords throughout tbe country. They jre 
onnt-rs of the famous Wblttaker Swimming 
School of Milwaukee, one of tbe oldest of Its 
kind in the West. J. H. Yea Is tbelr manager, 
ami through Tom Brantford Is receiving many 
tilds for their services. 

The .\uslalze County Agricultural Association 
of Wupakoneta, Ohio, will hold its fair this 
yoar from August 29 to Septemt)er 1. The 
di^clation has been making expensive Improve- 
m*'nts on the grounds and has let a contract for 
HU nh-to-date dining hall. The cost of this 
miNlern eating establishment wUl be approxi- 
mately tH.OOO. The society will this year open 
their liorse department to the world. For a 
number of years past . It has been confined to 
the county. To take care of the additional 
.•ntries that will come with tbls, they are 
building two large exhibition stables for horses, 
and are making many other ImprovementR that 
will be appreciated by the fair-going inibllc. 

At a meeting of the directors of the Concord 
Fair .\$»>ciatIon, arrangements were completed 
for their twenty-second annual exhibition, to be 
held at Concord, Tenn.. August 15 to 18, Inclus- 
ive, A number of Improvements are being made 
to tbe grounds, and prospects are bright for 
the best fair ever held by tbls association. The 
track Is being put in good shape and good pnrsee 
are offered, and, as It Is practically tbe opening 
of the fair circuit In this section. It Is expected 
to bring together some of tbe fastest bnraes In 
tbe state. Nash Brothers of KnoxvlUe, Tenn,. 
secured the contract for all shows, riding devices 
ind concessions, also to furnish the free attrac- 
tions. 

Plana hav^ been accepted by the manage- 
ment of the Texas Cotton Palace, at Waco, 
Texas, for the automobiles, flowers and poultry 
buildings. It Is firoposed to have these struc- 
tures in time for tbe next exhibition, which will 
be November 4 to 19. The cotton patch, wbeie 
more then seventy varieties of cotton arv now 
growing, has seed planted from every section 
of the earth where cotton Is grown, wnetlier in 
the wilds or cultivated states. \V. J. Xeale, 
one of tbe directors, will make a trip to Liver- 
pool to secure exhibitions. Contmets for mid- 
way attractions were let In the early part of 
the month. 

Tbf Jack!<on Cotinty Agricultural Stwiety, Jack- 
s^jn. MIeli.. wa^ formed In January and a nu,i»- 

ber of meetings held. It was planned by <be 
association to have tbe city buy the old fair 
grounds and convert them Into a city park; 
bnt. as the municipality could not legally buy 
the grounds without first allowing the tax payers 
to vote on the question, and as no election will 
w held nntll next spring. It Is doubtful whether 
iarksou will bold a fair this season. Thomas 
M. Sattler, secretary of the association, states 
nut the society which he represents will posi- 
tively hold a fab- next season. 

The Jennings County Fair. North Vernon. Ind.. 
is the second fair to be held this season In this 
part of the country. The races are of course 
the principal attraction and always draw large 
crovvd-i. The live stock Interests will be given 
niiKli enciHiragement this vear and the other 
• f«.atnr.... will be catered to liberally. No spindles 
or l>ad<lli>s BO. and no immoral slimvs. The best 
cliiw of entertainment will be secnreil. Includ-

CARNIVAL NOTES. 



The Nlgro and tarn Shows carry at the present 
time fifteen pay shows and three riding de- 
vices, also a imlformed brass band, wblch Is 
under the direction of Frank Walllck, Among 
tbe attractions presented are: Jobn J, Stock'a 
Big Animal Show, The Kentucky Belles, The 
Dixieland Minstrels, Baby Ethel, The TaudevlUe

and Monkey (Sirens, Igmar, natnxe'B himian curi-

Human Roulette Wheel. The company ntmibers 
164 people, and travel In their special cars, con- 
sisting of five baggage cars, , two coaches and 
sleepers, one private and one fiat car. Messrs. 
Nigro and Loos tolerate no graft or attractions 
bordering on tbe vulgar order, and this fact, 
coupled with their Integrity and ability to keep 
abreast with the times, and their combined ef- 
forts to present good, clean and wholesome 
amtuements. Is the sole reason for their ultimate 
success In this particular field. These managers 
have on several occasions advocated the organiza- 
tion of a carnival association similar to the one 
now In operation among the big base ball leagues, 
to act as a protection against the unstampulous 
by eliminating from tbe carnival world all of 
those who desire to take tmdne advantage of 
either carnival manager, individual show owner, 
concessionaire or employees. By allowing any- 
one connected In the carnival line to became a 
member of this association, assessing each mem- 
ber a nominal sum, subjecting them to a fine or 
refusing such parties employment by members 
of this association In the event of violating their 
agreement, they believe that a great deal of the 
nnpleasanmes which now- occnr conld be abro- 
gated. Of course, there Is a certain element 
that would not approve of such an order, hut

the shows are billed like a drcna all over the

Preparations for the big water show are keep- 
ing the entire executive staff on the bustle, and 
wardrobe and paraphernalia for the new feature

of patent waiter shoes arrived and several ot 
the boys went down to the river to try their 
skin as water walkers. N«ne of them were 
able to retain tbe perpendicular In tbe buoyant

good ducking for the would-be water-walkers. 

Our next stand Is Jamestown. X. Y., where 
we itwk for a big week under tbe auspices of 
the Central Labor Union. Several new shows 
are Joining here, as well as « number ot priv- 
ileges. The water show oiieng at Warren, Pa„

last week. Tliis fact has bwn registered In 
the oilicial log-liook of the show and will go

business lines. It Is a safe prediction that an 
association of this character would be gladly 
welcomed, and would prove a decided advantage 
to all parties concerned. There should be a 
Specittc nnderstanuing that the same law should 
apply to all, whether manager or employee, and 
Insisting that all business dealings between 
themselves be done by contract, and making it 
a penalty for all violations. Mr. I^ios has al- 
ready booked a number ot big events tor the 
above company, and looks forward to a pros- 
perous season. 

The De Kteko Bros., whose Oriental Theatre 
Is one ot the big features with the J. Frank 
Hatch Water Circus and Allied Shows, report 
excellent business since :the commencement of 
the season, and have added a number of attrac-

ular representation of true Oriental life. Tbe 
present roster of the show Is: Gabriel De Kreko. 
manager; George De Kresko, producer and stage 
manager; Krekor De Kre'ko, treasurer and Arthur 
Kastorlan, advance agent. Tbe performers, all 
of whom are well known In their various special-

altar-^a barrel of paste — and introtliiced to the 
mysteries of IJfnah's puddings. Blindfolded, they 
were led to the river's bank and precipitated 
forty feet into the stream. It would require a

bership in the brotherhood. Several hundred 
White River Junctionists witnessed the cere-

of the "festivities." For a time they thought 
a public baptism was In order, btrt the slamming 
with ttic slap-sticfes. the whirr of paste paddles 
as they descended upon tight trousers, and the 
other orgies practiced soon changed their minds. 

Later in the day there was a baseball game 
between the Victors of Car Xo. 2 and the Xever- 
sweats of White River Junction, which resulted 
in a victory — ^no pun intended — for the former 
by a score of 20 to 7. It was a hot game as

And. no sooner 1» it noised aboat that so-and-so.

avidity because- or tbeir standlnf; in eitber the 
social or money world* have taken up a certain 
sport, -than tbat sport enters in upon a heyday* 
of success. The general public flock in numbers 
to take up the snort and soon become its most 
ardent followers. -^It.>anwbne, however, people 
or fashion and prominence have wearied of the 
sport and consequently drop it entirely. 

This belief has been beard so often that it 
&as almost attained the position of an axiom. 



"The attention of xarions moral reformers 
like Anthony Comstock, Charles H. Parkhnrst. 
Dr. Slicer and others is called to the condition 
which prevails in many^ of the roUer. : rinks in 
New York^ Brooklyn and the other horonghs 
of the ; American mebwpolis. ; . . . 

*^*With the coontzT* .at larse this iHiper has 

notUns to- do, bat tiie invasioiL^of New York 
by moral festers of the roller skating rink sort 
Is a question snfficiently vital to demand more 
than passing^ attention. 

**Xo other such- - breeding place of snperhn- 
man lechery, lewdness and over-leaping of 
bestial passions has ever existed In aiQT civilized 
commnnlty." 

It was with opposition like this that the legit- 
imate .roller skating rinks had to contend^ but 
by dint of great care and rigid discipline were 



EL REY SISTERS. 




A team of adiibltion skaters, who baVe become popular thronghont the country* 



It has been said eonceming everything. But 
it Isn*t true. It is merely a superstition and the 
history of roller sksrting in New York proves it. 

Suddenly in 19U5 without much ado or blowing 
of trumpets the siwrt of roll**r skating suddenly 
became popular in New York. Tbere was no 
previous- approval put upon it by society noar 
was there a society Introduction^ but everybody 
In New York^the Toms, Dicks and Harrys — 
posses!>ed a pair, of roller/ skates and vast rinks 
{ETew up ^ Iik« ''inQshzboih&':' in.. ' a - marshi all over 
the city*. Evenvthe streets .were used for roUer 
skating, and the. papers or .thiat day were filled 
with stories conc^nbtg^ -the .sudden : peculiarity 
of the sport- 
But as suddenly as it H^ntng into existence, 
so une3:T>ectodIy did the . isport begin to wane. 
One by one the huge bnildlngs that had resounded 
with the hum of the skates were closed- The 
strongest blows to roller skating were given by 
the very managers of the rinks, and in endeav- 
oring to annex the dimes and quartcre of the 
yoiinff: they relaxed all discipline and never 
gave a thought to w^bat was happening on the 
door of the rink beyond the bos^Mce wfaidow. 
This soon caused . comment and proved the death 
blow of those rlnfcs in Trbich this idea pre- 
vailed. The newspapers took the proportion 
np and the following story is only an example 
of many which appeared at that time: 



tbe.v able to gain the confidence of the better 
classes. 

What ever may have been the reason for ttiu 
decline of the craze, the fact remains that 
after passing through a brief hut strenuous 
'^poptdar*' period, roller skating survives in 
New York as a fashionable pastime. 

It. Is just possible that the fact that the 
arUtocracy of England has put the seal of its 
approval upon the sport accounts for its adop- 
tion 'bj the society folks in this country. And 
this hold Tvill be only the more strengthened 
by the fact that the craze has spread throuch 
all of Europe and that now the most elite of 
the Washingon society have taken It up. 

To qnote the New York Times In a special 
article on the Metropolitan Boiler Kink: 

"A Times reporter yesterday afternoon visited 
the M<;tropolitan Hink, the onlj- rink that stil: 
snrrives in the city. As he approached the 
Broadway front of the building, he saw that 
times have indeed chansred in the roller skating 
sport. Along the cnrb stood eight big auto- 
mohiles and seven taxicabs- Smart! v dressed 
w<Knen were coming in and going out. The 
crowd — perhaps two hundred In number — glid-

him in the city;' 'When he reaches the city he 
meets several of his old friends ana his former 
love for a particular city pirl is revived. His

This film shows Foolahead in some more sedate 
poses than is customary, but he iias interspersed 
the usual amount of humor with Iiis work. He 
tvaiks in Ilis sleep and having gone down a 
chimney and gotten himself pretty, much blacliotl 
Hp. proceeds with candle in band out on the 
street. He -arouses both curiosity and fear al- 
ternately in the people he meets, and- after 
creating quite a sensation returns to ills bed.- 
where he awakens to hear the cries of the peo- 
ple without. Still thinking himself a poet or 
orator he rushes out to l)Ow for the 'applause, 
only to be the target for a volley of vegetableis. 
which the excited and outraged people throw.

In this sketch, the physician's pet monkey 
dons the physician's coat and hat and very much 
amazes the patients who arrive and who take 
bim for the physician gone mad. He creates 
so much disturbance that the people of the town 
determine to quell his actions at all cost. Pro- 
ceeding to the house they find the physician in 
and immediately set upon tiim. much to his sur- 
prise and evidently to his grief. In short the 
film is a hilarions comedy, well acted. 

lONGSTKEEX AT SEVEN PINES. Champion. 
Military drama. Length 950 feet. He- 
leased June 12. 

A very old story is presented in this film, but 
the acting and scenery are both good and the 
play succeeds in holding the interest. It is very 
unlikely it would apoear, that a mau^ should 
leave for war witliont informing ills wife orally, 
but should Instead leave a note, telling her of 
Us departnre bnt tbis ;occnrrence lias been re- 
peated so often in motion picture plays that it 
surely must be excusable. In this story the 
husband's former rival aids him in escaping 
from military duty to return to the son who had 
been bom to him. The battle scene and the 
presentation of rival armies does not seem nec- 
essary to the development of tlie plot, but gives 
an excuse for some exciting battle scenes.

HIS HiST 
Drama. 
14. 

The story told in this film appears to be with- 
out a moral or even much of a plot it being 
merely a few incidents in the life of a "bad 
man." The scenes are profuse. The story is in- 
teresting in that tbe man is brongbt to time at 

the point of a gun held by his wife. The point 
of tile play is probably to draw a repulsive pic- 
ture of the bad man and in this the producers 
have surely succeeded. Tbe acting is well done. 

THE GHOST OF THE VAULTS. Great North- 
em. Drama. Fnil length. 
It is not quite made clear in this film who 
the ghost of the vanlts was, but the production 
is none , the less interesting. The source of the 
story is tliat ever fmltfOI one. the right of a 
fatlier to dictate to his daughter concerning the 
selection of Iier husband, In this case the true 
lover is even put in Jail for liis urgent atten- 
tions, bnt through a secret passage reaches a 
money vault, where he finds big rival' stealing 
money and tbe, ^irl fast asleep, she having 
-walked there- ill her sleep. The 'father'-tiien ap- 
pears on the S(^ne and cbasin<- tbe formerly-ac- 
cepted husbandl' gives his consent to the girl's 
choice of the recentlv-escaped prisoner, and ail 
ends happily. The acting, story, scenery and 
photograpby are ill good in this film and it is 
sure to meet with favor where shown. 

THE EIGHTS OF AGE. Itala, Drama. Length 
918 feet. Released Jurie' 15. 
A very agreeable and smoothly running story 
is told ill this film and one set amid beantifnl 
scenes. The acting Is good by ail tbe company. 
The story is that of a girl who wins the hus- 
band slie wants and who want5 her after some 
incidents which prove that she never can do so.

A Kood Western story is told In this film. It

that of a girl. Montana Anna. who. after bar-

HIS FRIEND'S WIFE. Essanay. Drama. Length, 
1,000 feet. Released June 6. 
A verr clear and interesting story is told In 
this film. Tbe thread of the. plot begins pretty 
far back, but this- fact Is not at all detrimental 
to. tbe story, but rather aenres to make It 
clear. The story is rather a soccesslon of 
events than a mixing of purposes, but it Is none 
the lees Interestlog. Tbe phases of an artistic 
temperament are very clearly shown, the artist 
finally bringing bimself to doatb. The acting 
Is well done.

and interesting manner.' and one wjiich entailed 
a rather happy expcrtenre for him. The girl 
whom bis father wishes bim to marry goes on 
tbe stage for tbe cxprias purpose of winninc 
Bertie's attentions, and tbroiigU some incidental 
events totally succeeds. There are Just four 
characters in the play, and two of them, and 
tbe two which do most of tbe acting, are young 
and ninihle. We can not commend this film 
too highly.

- DEFENDS STAGE CHILDREN. 

Boston. Mass.. June fi (Spi-cial to Tbe Bill- 
board). — ^The National Alliance for the Protec- 
tion of Stage Children, of which I>anlpl Froh- 
man Is vice-president and Henry B. Harris treas- 
urer, in its etforts to secure what it considers to 
be a -mote equitable law for the children of the 
stage than now pi:evalls In Massachusetts, has 
drawn the fire ot the Massachusetts State Child 
1.3 bor ' Committee, and that oriranization today 
issned a warning against the Alliance. 

The warning Is Issued in the form of a elrco- 
lar widely distributed; and is signed by the com- 
mittee's executlTO committee, of which Graf- 
ton TO. Cnshing Is chaUman. The circular reads: 
"Hie 'Massachusetts ■ law. -which has been up- 
held In legislatlTe debate for several years now, 
protects, children by thorough provisions widch 
are so distasteful to tbe theatre managers that 
they have tried to get the protective law ntnend- 
ed so as to be less elfective. In Illinois they 
have Just failed In a similar attempt and now 
In order to enlist sympathy, they pose as pro- 
tectors of stage children. Fearing this phl- 
iKnthrople name mis^t canse confusion, onr com- 
mittee has thought it best to Issue this warn- 
ing. The Society for tbe Protection of -Stage 
Children is apparently controled by the same 
people who have been trying to abolish restric- 
tions for stage children. The tried friends ot 
cblld labor reform can be trusted to make such

The Rex Smith' Aeroplane Co. begs to inform you that they are now ready- 
to furnish their own passenger-carrying biplanes and also experienced aviators. , We 
hiivo tliu only passenger-carrying biplanes in this country, and we are justified in

Our experienced aviators really fly and fly to please the public, and do not 
"cut grass" or lose their nerve like many so-called aviators. The -Rex Smith' Aero^ 
plane Co. is incorporated for Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), fully 
paid up, has the best aeroplane factory in ^cistenoe, as well as its own aviatian.

■• P; S'.^-^ere are' numerous so-called aviators with aeroplanes who promise everything and do nothmg. They are very detrimental to you in addition to', 
being costly. If .you secure a so-called aviator, he will no doubt do your Fair a lot of harm, out if you secure an.experienoed'a-viator with a real good aeroplane, - 
such as WE HA VE, it will no doubt prove a big- moneymaker for you;

Amusements at the Fair 



By JOS. E. POGUE. 
(Secntaiy Nortb Canfliiui State Fair.) 



P. T. Banram* late king of the san'tlust 
arefa, ottered an eternal trutb wben be said 
"the people most be amused." The fair midway 
kaa come to stay, but not a« formerly witb its 
lag fronts end Its offensiTe, vulsar platform 
•zblbltloa. Id former years fair managers 
woe always ready and apparently happy to 
took their midway aggregations "catcb as 
can.'* taklDfc promlscoous chances, good, bad and 
tndlffeient, all in a Jumble. Bnt times have 
undergone great cbanges. and tbe public taste 
la these matters has followed suit. And re> 
txam is now a national watchword in social 
and economic conditions, and a very dItCerent 
proposition confronts the fair manager in the 
■election of his shows and attractions, and a 
•brewd, wide-awake manner will be quick to 
Interpret tbe demands of the people, as tbe 
boor bas struck for bigb-^ass display of clean 
an^ np-to-date exbibitions, both free and paid. 
Tbey must be made to harmonize with advanc- 
ing clT-Uizatlon. BTerywhere and In erery 

Sbase of public and private life in this great 
ibristian land of ours, tbe signs of tbe times 
point wltli unerring certainty to a wide-spread 
terolatlon la Qte public mind as to tbe ebaiac- 
ter and quality of public amusements of wliat- 
•Tcr klna and vberever given, whether in the 
tlwatTe, piibUc parks, at street carnivals, race- 
tncks, borse shows, expositions, or state and 
eoimty agricultural fairs. It Is now th^ ex- 
ception, and not tbe rule, that all olli-nsive, 
bnmoral or questionable allows or exbibitions. 
■s well as gambling of every species, are not 
Misolately prohibited by the most stringent 
regulation of the local management in obedi 
CDce to the tmtversally enlightened state of the 
public anlnd, growing out of these important 
social qtiestlons, a better and higher class of 
■ttractlons are now being organized and intro- 
dnced. The old-time medley of "bum" sbows. 
with rag fronts and dirty female ballyhoo, 
platftirm spielers and barbers, are being rele- 
gated to oblivion, to be rapidly succeeded by 
ttiat whidi is clean, meritorious and Instruc- 
tlTe and Intelligently conceived, dasslfled and 
grouped with due regard for artistic and pleas- 
mg eCTect. 

Tbe marvelcus progress In this country in In- 
dustrial and agricultural pursuits and in the 
moral and social advancement of tbe people, 
bas brought about wonderful changes In eco- 
Boalc conditions; tbe enlargement of trans- 

Statloa facilities, the reduced rate of pasaeuger 
vel, tbe enonnons Inerease In our rnxal popu- 
lation, as well as that of our cities and 
towns, all so to contribute a greatly Increased 
Interest and attendance upon tbe many annual 
Cain of tbe country. This means to the fairs 
creatiy augmented revenue and enlarged facil- 
ttlea for toe proper care of the people and their 
exhibitions In all lines, and also Involves a 
tetter solntlon of tbe protdeia above dlaeiused 
ot bow to entertain wad educate them wltbln 
proper Intellectual and moral conditions, and it 
is not to be supiMsed for one moment that those 
wbo bave been charged with tbe management of 
tfaese great instltatlons designed for tbe pro- 
Biotlon of a bealtby rivalry among tbe people 
by tfbowing tbe products of -their skill and handi- 
dlcraft, will not prove equal to ttese new 
denuuMls upon tbem. It Is Intoestlng to note 
bt tbUi fionnectlan that tbe leadlnx uSca of tbe

country are generally harmonixing all fonaar 
dilTerenceB In tbe matter of dates and general 
policy, looking to the better ptomotioa of their 
common Interest by observing closer bikBlnesa 
relations and more frequent intercourse touch- 
ing the many matters of tanportaace, audi «• 
racing, mhlway attnethMa, live stoek ezUblli^ 
etc. There Is amdi eaconrasemeot U> tiM oat 
look. 

The leading fair associations all over tbs 
country are being organized Into circuits as 
never before. There has been too much com- 
flict in dates in the past among leading fainu 
Experience has taught the necessity elim- 
inating as far as possible all conflicts la date% 
which means more shows, attractions and ex- 
hibits for each assoctatlon. This v<^Ier wlB 
continue until the matter of datiac Jias beta 
reduced to a science. ' 

There is nothing tbat appeals etrmwer ta 
the public at any fair tbaa « cood CUM at 
amusements. - ' 

Let the people once enter tbe gates of a fair, 
their minds made up to visit any special de- 
partment, and when through, wlMt will ' hold 
them to your grounds? First-class amusements. 

Such being the icase It behooves tbe seeretsiy 
of any fair to make up his mind that be irlll 
give the public the best ever. Now wbat esa 
be secure, and where from? His Intentions are 
tbe best In tbe world, and be starts oat to 
make contracts for ilia fair. Heretofore, la 
days gone by, it was an easy matter to get 
frame-up. Almost any person, with a too^ 
could drop In and start a show of some Una. 
The conditions now are entirely different. TIM 

ftubiic demands something that bas merit is 
t, and tbe show must be deaa and moral. 
This Is the age of -Ideas la the Aow bnsln«m 
and tbe novel and attractive ■bona cenoally 
get the money. 

The Independent Iwoking system. In mx mlad, 
is not a good thing for any fair. -The tuae liaa 
come when a secretary must close bis contnete 
for shows long abend of time, so that be caa 
commence bis advertising and apprise the pnblle 
of tbe nature of bis aimnsements. 

The only way to secure your amnaementa la 
to close with gome responsible party who ess 
furnish a complete line of sbows and, rldlBS 
devices. I, for one, would exact a bond for tbe 
full performance of tbe contract. This he&is: 
done, you are In a iaeasare protected^ ana 
there Is no good reaaoa for the' abows not ,** 
roll In on time. . . 

If there la anything tbat puts a aecretaiT ts- 
tbe bad. It is to have some tneteatloBS snnr- 
man throw taim down. 

Another advantage In closing wlUk one ataa 
for shows, you simply turn over tbe sbow 
ground to him, and he will place the shows ts^ 
the best advantage, and yon only have ^'■""f' 
wltb one person. 

Any person vrtm can deliver the Roods lit Iks 
way of clean, mwal and qp-to-date shows, moat 
bave some responsibility and standlnar ' and 
conduct bis business on sound bnslneas pclnelpiss;. 

He has shows, not selected haphazard, bat 
a good first-class line of attractions thai wm 
appeal to the public and please everyone. 

The shows will all be constrneted to last 
throogb a season, and iSie best eqnlpmait wm

the people a tew good shows every thne In pret- 
cience to a lonvr Btvlng of old rag fronts, dilap- 
idated and fit for tbe Junk pile. 

Tbe time iflll soon be bere wtaen tbe Am 
Srafter is BometbliiK of tbe past, as all tbe fairs 
wUl be organized Into a strong body, and tbe 
mpoosUile tbow people Trill do tbe same, so 
ifiiere and bow can be get In? 

nie fairs are dependent upon good amnae- 
■lents; tbe show people are dependent on good 
oowds; by working in baimony gucceas will 
crown oar efforts, 

Tbe secretary of a fair bolds a meet import- 
ant position from nearly every point of view; 
be bas tbe edacatlon of tbe old as well as tbe 
young In bis keeping to a large extent; in all 
walks of life trained and untrained minds, 
torpid and emotional natures, wise folks and 
IdlotH, all attend fairs and have to be eda- 
cmted. amused and sent bome pieaaed. Some, 
want action all the time, some' want to alt 
quietly and look and look and look, soone want 
to be scared until half-dead, every nerve ready 
to snap. Thus a variety of exhibitions and 
■BMisement features have to enter Into the 
oake-np of every snccessful fair. Tbe old 
lady who would give two years off the short 
end of -ber life to know bow a certain pre- 
serve was made, to the fellow wbo offers tbe 
alnbip man a large snm for Jast one . "ride 
in the air," . botb have paid admission money 
and are due consideration. 

Tile live stock and otber departments grow 
and Improve naturally with the material growth 
of tbe country,, but not so with one of the 
tnost Important features, the amusement, with- 
out which no fair is complete. The selection 
of tlie component parts of this feature staonld 
Meeive the most careful attention always. The 
day .Of -the wild man, snake eater and hideous 
tccak is' .past, also that of tbe cheap, vulgar 
csUbltlons that were so common on many 
fair grounds. The day of the good, decent, 
•enteel show is lust dawning, the show that 
•muses, instructs and elevates, with its clean, 
prosperous-looking front and eiinlpment, with 
its gentlemanly management, with its respect- 
demanding odor, so to speak. There are hun- 
dred* on the roud today, and hundreds have 

gone to ruin before today; why, becdiiKO they 
ad to go into com^tltlon with the cheiip Kct- 
Teady-on-the«put singularities — thev can not lie 
called aggregations: 'and who la largely rs^pon- 
dble? The answer comes qnickly — the f»lr 
vecretary who is willing to contract with them 
in preference to the genteel show, because 'he 
Is offered a bigber percentage- or a larger space 
lental. thus causing either idle time or exces- 
sive jumps for tbe deserving. But. docs be 
get more money, as piomlaea? Hardly ever. 
Tile percentage fails for some "reason," and the 
flat rate Is either argued very thin or Jumped 
at the week's end. 

The above is not Intended to convey the Im- 
pression tliat the writer lielieves in opening SLd 
dosing a fair witb religions functions; to the 
contrary, such would be eacrileglotts. '•Every- 
thing in its place." Bat this IS a p'tm to the 
secretaries to hang iiut soyne notto «-:i,t than 
"Get the money," and a flea to :Se ajiose- 
nent promoter to carry a*3ng wit?i lihit pome 
sign besides "Get the money quick :ind skip." 
Not until this is done will we S'lit "ir •jr->wdH. 

The wise fair secretary i:iv-»r9 <iean mMway 
Aows for our state and oanty talri. Thul is 
luit to say tliat fairs which -r^it out the midway 
features make a mistake. TIii» man».;ers know 
ISieir own pedple and local coniicloas .ind are 
U>e best Judges of what their iiinrt^uB want. 

City and country visitors reiiiv- lite clever, 
cSean shows, and it Is the r..icie :i!iit;sement- 
cravlng taste wiiicb Is e^al'jittd by tht- mil- 
lions of people who .innually pn^rbirze luna 
Park. Dreamland. Kevcre Bench. Chlc.-igo's 
Wilite City and the hundreds or other s-ninmer 
parks -the' country over. .Tlie isreat exp<>sitions 
Bake tbeir midways a feature. an,1 tbe draw- 
In^ power of the amusement ~ide of the expo- 
sition 'WAS demonstrated by Fred ThoTipson wl-.f.n 
be took bold of the Pan-.4^nei*i7.tn slif'Wsi, played 
tbem up strong and boosted tbe cash gate re- 
ceipts from $5,000 a day or less to $SO,(Jt>0. 

If we could get a circuit of fairs to put pu 
attractive, permanent fronts, :rIvjDg them a 
SOOd. location, we could comma;id a s'rorger 
class of sbows, and I believe the inTcatment 
would: be profitable. 

The secretary Is responsible for the success 
or failure, the good or bad repute of his mid- 
way, and It all depends on Judicious seiection 
and good location. The best policy is to hold 
down the number of sbows and to hold up the 
qoallty. A bright, clean and livelv midway 
certalnLv helps the front gate receipts and it 
does more good in 'helping to draw visitors 



than It does harm in diverting attention from 
tbe exlilblts. It is only a small -percentage of 
our visitors that are disposed to spend even 
balf a day in really studying tbe exblhits In a 
serioas, earnest way. The rest of the time 
tbey want to I>e amused. At some of tbe great 
state fairs tbe Iiee acts begin at 10 or 11 
o'clock. Hence, -boman nature is pretty much 
tbe same from Tampa to Minneapolte. 

Tbe very fact that many fairs are paying 
more and more money every year for so-called 
"free acts," Is an argument that tbe ,3hows 
are appreciated as a drawing feature, altlwugh 
they are given In the open Instead of under a 
tent, and only one admission charge is mad^* 
at the grandstand — Instead of a separate charge 
for each dtaw. 



The demand for amusement features at state 
and county fairs Is Increasing yearly, and this 
demand does not pertain alone to tbe free 
vaudeville attrattlons which have become so 
popular and -the spirited races, but to -blgb- 
class carnival shows. No better evidence of 
this can be given than the alertness of fair 
managers in contracting for clean "midway 
sbows." as they are sometimes called. 

In the days gone by, people went to the 
state and county fairs to see the display of 
tbe field, tbe stock, fruits, textiles, and also 
to overlook the latest Inventions In farm ma- 
cblnery. While patroiu of fairs have not grown 
lax In the appreciation of all the old features 
of the fair, and are spnired by the wonderful 
Inventions tba-t luve made tkim life a Joy,

now In addition to these essential parts of 
the fair they demand amusement — ajnniMmient 
tlMt they do not have an opportunity to see 
every day. 

While the visitors to tbe fair sit in the grand- 
stand and watch tbe. races, are awod by the 
wonderful maneuvers of partlcIpiDta In a colos- 
sal vaudeville act, and enjoy tbe strains of a 
military band, yet there is that longing among 
many for the scenes of tbe midway. Tbey find 
much enjoyment In visiting tbe various Shows 
snd seeing all. • There is something encbantlns 
to them in the announcement of tbe ballyhoo, 
as be Is familiarly known, in tlie sound emanat- 
ing from tbe base drums or the tom-toms, and 
the general tingle that is to be board on all 
midways. The -people as a rule are out for a 
good time, and they know that after all tbe 
sights of tbe buildings snd tbe racetrack have 
been seen, their visit will not be complete 
without a trip to the carnival riram. 

High-class midway sbows— those thst have 
no tinge of vulgarity — are lll)erally patronizoa 
on the fair grounds. In many cities and towns, 
the only chance tbe public has to enjoy a 
real good carnival show Is when the fair is 
on, and, if they seek such entertainment, why 
deprive them of their pleasure? 

The late Governor Johnson of Mlimesots appar- 
entlv had the right Idea of the wants of people 
attending fains, wtaen in an address Aortly be- 
fore bis deabb, said: 

"Tbe primary function of 'every fair, of 
course. Is educational. The motive mast bo 
that of development. It has been signed that 
the liorse race and balloon ascension are neces- 
sary adjuncts to an Ideal fair, and that these 
detract from the real objects of the fair itself. 
And yet the day is far distant wben a county 
or state fair will be a success and arouse In- 
terest without these accompaniments, wblcb will 
arouse and entertain the people. .The financial 
view of a fair comiiels an acquiescence to the 
amusement feature, and I take It tjhat It Is 
generally argued that these must obtain," 

After enumerating attractions for fairs, such 
as balloon ascensions, i>ands, races and vaude- 
ville acts. Governor Johnson ended by saying: 

"And ret it takes all this and more to makp 
up a successful fair. It needs the amusement 
curiosities, the merry-go-round, -with Its worn- 
out tunes and noisome engine, tbe fortune tel- 
ler and the festive doll-rack and tbe barl.r 
negro who allows you to throw eggs at bliu." 

R. P. Trevelllck, representative of the Unlle<» 
Fairs Booking Association, who bas bad raucb 
experience In amusement features of fairs, has 
this to say of attractions at -jounty fjilrs: 

"The backbone of civllliatlon may no artl.v 
termed our country cousins* annual t«xhlb!tlon 
of all that Is best and enduring In tbls country's 
history. For so great has been tbe advance and 
Interest In the oldtime county fair tbnt 
nothing In the world Is too good, great or costl.v 
for them to stimulate more Interest. The rivalry 
is keen — some counties iiaving as many as three 
fairs in the same month. It Is a coveted iKinar 
to serve as president, secretary, treasurer, chair- 
man, superintendent, manager, or other, position 
— although the office carries no salary and In- 
volves a great deal of 'hard, and continnoos .work. 

The politician, -with a keen eye to the 'wind- 
ward, knows the weight of the land, and con- 
gressmen, senators and presidents— all our great 
public men — have appeared before almost count- 
less county fairs and put their best foot for- 
ward. The oldtime lethargy Is cone, and In ItR 
place we find a little new world, for the county 

fair l3 our world in miniature. TJicy pot on 
the best possible races, do not hesitate to bu.v 
A-1 special attractions, as "anything" will not 
no any more. Fairs located In towns of 
less than 1,500 population, putting on an act 
that was a feature of tbe RInglIng Circus th(> 
year before. Many of them plunge willingly in- 
to debt to build up their fair, looking optlmlstlc- 
ally to the futnre to reimburse them. Tbey 
bulld new grnnilstands and up-to-date t build- 
ings, are constantly on the watcdi for new Ideas, 
and are so pleased when tbey exceed tbe rival 
county fair in attendance, races, exhibits or 
attractions, that tiielr enthusiasm will Jiot down 
hut Is carried on to the next fair — a generous, 
friendly rlvnlr.v. "Oiey are adapting circuR 
methods of advertising, and many of them know- 
the size of one. three or twenty-fonr-sheets. 

In some casi's. Illuminated wagons, antomo- 
blles, etc., are sent out at night many miles 
away. A few fairs employ experienced show- 
men to run tiielr advertising, special attraction 
and pay show departments; one small town 
baring a big attendance, liaying an old letliod 
Hbowmnn $3,000 a year, and BndlnfC It pays well 
to do so.

The Selection of Attractions 



By FRANK WE.DON. 
(SeereUi7 G«ofsU State Fair.) 



Taken ma a whole, the film axe clean and 
bualtliy, and tlie attendance la many caeei be- 
youd tbe belief of tboae not familiar with them 
— town* -with a population of 12,000 to 20,000 
bBvlng an attendance of 40,000 In one day, tbe 
big day of tbe fair, wtilcb aaually falia on Wed- 
nesday or Tbnrsday. Dlfficultleai exist wblcb can 
bo easily remedied by co-operatlon, Tbouwuida 
of falra fall In tbe Drat three vreeks of Septem- 
ber, and more, considerably more, fall in tbe 
flrat week of September every year tban in any 
otber week. Tbia la all wrong, as tbe difOculty 
of obtaining proper attractlona, taonea, pay 
Aowa, etc.. becomes more acute yearly. 

Fonr-llftlw of all the faira occnr lietween the 
laat week in Aoguat and tbe first week to Octo- 
ber, inclusive. More fairs aliouM be dated 
early and late — tbe first tbree weeks In August 
and tbe second and third weeks In October. 
Tbe fairs in September abould be evenly dlatrlb- 
nted — an even number each week from tbe last 
week in August to tbe first week In October. 
This would be vastly better for all concerned. 
At isesent tbe dlfflcnlty la so great that tbe 
fitat week in September Las long been called 
"The Fatal Week" by abowmen — no one being 
able to supply tbe demand that week. Tbe old- 
time county fair, a joke to many, liag given way 
to an boDored institution, wblcii all recognize 
and patronize. Tbe prizes and blue ribbons. In 
addition to being a mucb-prized bonor. are com- 
mercially valuable. Tbe exhibits of stock, farm 
produce, fruits, home work, etc., are eagerly 
scanned by tbe visiting thousands. Tlie educa- 
tional valne la beyond compute, and tbe state 
reeognlxes It aa Its leading interest and Instl- 
totion. 

More financial aid sliould be given by tbe 
ftate in many cases, as many counties are too 
sparsely settled to make tbe little fairs self- 
sustaining, no matter bow bard they may strive. 
The cry of "Back to tbe farm!" is being counter- 
acted slowly by tbe far-reaching Influence of 
tbe new county fair, as It has a tendency to 
hold the young folks at home, to continue tbe 
noblest, the oldest and tbe most Independent 
profession In tbe world. 

All bonor to the quiet, patient, courageous, 
hard-working and far-seeing men that volunta- 
rily guard the vital Interests of the tbousands 
of smaller fairs, for they are civilization's most 
nseful citizens. Yon can destroy tbe cities and 
the farms -will build more — but destroy the 
farms and chaos reigns. The farmer has come 
lota his own, and Instead of its being a word of 
reproach, it has assumed its natural and rlgbt- 
tal position — the leading profession on tbe earth. 

As to the best, or better kinds of amusements, 
tbere are certain Tendors ot imtiseinent wbo 
bave become part and- parcel of the agrlcnltnral 
fair. To be wlthoat them would be comparrd 
to a pumpkin pie without the pumpkin. In- 
cluded In this list is tbe horse race. This is a 
worthy sport If kept within the limits of clean- 
liness, without the selling of pools or ojjen bet- 
ting. Fennit me to add that I know of nothing 
more demoralizing to an agricultural fair tban 
open gambling on results. Tbere is none of this 
In the corn belt fairs. 

Next come the side shows. The fair without 
them Is rare, though I understand that they 
have been placed under the ban by some ftlr 
managers. In each instance this eomes as a 
direct result of the abuse rather tban the use 
ot the side show as an nmnsenient. l4-wd 
•bows have no place upon the fair- grounds, and 
•taonid not be classed with a pleasing vaudeville, 
or tbe exhibition of some unusual animal or 
freak. Sor do I believe tbere Is any legit- 
imate field for "the fake show or concession in 
Which the son of Father John gathers wisdom 
by giving up the "long green" in return for 
experience. It Is undoubtedly true that fair- 
goers expect to be "stung" a little, but they 
will get a plenty of It from the fellows who 
pretend to be doing business oh the square. 
Concessions designed to fake the unwarv must 
be a source of dissatisfaction to the ones who 
"fall" for It, and the blame reverts Immediately 
to the fair management irhlch perailts such 
concessions. All-in-all, It resulta In poor adver- 
tising for the fair. 

For tbe youngsters tbe mcrry-go round. the 
miniature train, the Ferris wbeel, etc., etc.. are 
ever in demand and doing a rwblng business, 
because children are just about the same today 
aa ever in this regard. 

Special feature* bave taken prominent posi- 
tion In tbe state fair manager's program. As a 
special feature at tbe Nebraska State Fair for 
tbe last tbree years a famous Mind has filled the 
bill admirably. Good music pleases, and If you 
> think the grand opera or the classics are too 
"bigh-toncd" tor the agricultural fair, forget 



it. Nothing has elicited more favorable com- 
ment from all the attendants at the state fair 
than the dally mimic of eome famous band. 

The exhibition effort of a -famoue racehorse 
answered the purpose well in Its day, bnt the 
people are not content with calling that a special 
feature. Now come the dirigible balloon and 
the flying machine. Tbe dying machine is a 
sure-enough special feature and the agrlcoltoral 
fair which procures this feature ttds year or 
next year will be well repaid for a Ulxnl ez- 
pendltnre In this prelect. 

It seems to me tnat tbe concessionaire wlio 
directs bla eBotls slon'g tbe line of furnishing 
wholesome amusement appealing to all dasees 
can find m better place to exploit bla energies 



tban at the agrlcnltnral fair, beoaose the man- 
agers Of these events are becoming more rigid 
each year In the demands that the conces- 
sions be clean In cSiaracter. As a result, fair- 
goers are placing greater confidence in swUi 
amusements and are patronizing them more liber- 
ally than ever before. 

Tbe aeroplane sboold be a big feature at the 
fairs tlie present year. So mnch has been writ- 
ten the past six or eight months that the pub- 
lic are fanngry to see them in actual flighta. 
Whether or not tliey can be secured at a cost 
that will Justify the fair manageis In con- 
tracting for them remains to be seen. Again, 
on many of tbe f«lr grounds It will be hard

' Ing fleld. 

Tbe Clara cl amiuements a fair aboidd lUTe 
Is a problem wmcb the managers must work 
out for themselves. What would be a huge suc- 
cess In one state would not be so auccessfnl 
if carried out in another. Fair managers mnst be 
alive to their work. Nothing Is so detrimental 
to a fair as the practice of continual change 
of its officers, eqiedally a seaetaiy or general' 
manager. . . 

If In doubt as to tbe advisability of special 
paid and free attractions in conjunction witli 
your state or local fair, fifllow the crovrd, and 
it yon do aa they do you wHI end np by havlnc 
a sbow or several of them on your ha nd s. 73ie.. 
best argument to consider in deddlnc . 'or or . 
against special attractions is the fact oat prte- 
tically everybody has them. In the past few 
years the special attraction has become as mucb 
a feature of the more Impntant fairs aa tbe 
race program, which from long -established cus- 
tom baa become the side partner of all agricul- 
tural fairs of every description and size. 

Most fair managers will agree On tte reassa. 
fw this condition of affairs. "Hie public wants 
some of the sweet of frivolity and sensattoa 

with its solid ration of instmetloo. F 

special attractions, botli tree and paid, 
properly advertised, mean additional Im 
and better diances of • balance mi tbe rlsnt . 
side when the sbow <3oses. The financial sac- 
cess of an exhibition depends almost entlrtiy. : 
on the completeness and efficiency of its ad- 
vertising campaign. A good feature means an 
easier campaign and a cheaper one, for it wHl 
work for Itself and carry tbe more substantial 
bnt perhaps less attractive features with It. 

Tbe extent to which any fair management la 
warranted to engage In show features and tSie- 
show business depends entirely on local con- 
ditions. It can be overdone. One of the largest 
fairs In tbe West has created great dissatla- 
factlon among Its exhibitors in all depart- 
ments for the reason that victors are offered 
sensation after aensatton from momli« tlU night, 
with the result that there is UtUe time left 
in whldi to inspect 'tiie more snbstsntlal features 
of the exhibition. 

Tbe exlilbltar ot stock, maetalnery^ or any Ta- 
riety of mereiiandise, who Is nnd«r expense to 
make a showing, is entitled to a cbance at the 
attention of the crowd. State and connty ap- 
propriations are made to assist In ttae iROmo- 
tlon of better things for tlie farmer and the 
farm Industry. Th^ objects of an agricultural 
fair and a circus should be entirely different, 
though tbe fair may be Justified In adopting a 
few methods to attract patronage. 

One well-known and widely-experienced state 
fair secretary said in an interview with The 
BiUboard: 

"It is the custom of tbe writer to provide a 
good program of platform act features before 
the grandstand Xor the afternoon, and evening 
programs. In the . afternoon the acts OH . Ixk . 
the time between beats of the race program. 
In the evening the entire program is run , off 
with endi additional speda] features as may be 
available. 

"In addition to these arc the paid attractions 
or The Pike,' where the pnbltc may spend : 
time and money ad llbitnm to Its hearts con- 
tent. Visitors with but a limited amount of 
time may get a pretty good 'eyefolt' of free ' 
and paid attractions and still have ample time : 
to inspect the stock and displays In ue vari- 
ous buildings. The result of this ayilem ]ia» 
been satisfactory all the way around. 

"Occasionally some protest is raised by show 
company managements becanse the association 
holds an evening show before the grand stand, 
tbe contention of tiie show men being that they 
should have free swing at tbe eveiilng attend- 
ance. Wtilte there may be some Justice in the 
complaint of tbe show man, this fact should 
be consideped — that many persons do not care ' 
to make tbe tonndfl of tbe Pike sbsws bat do 
enjoy a short evening sbow from the grand 
stand. A management that wishes to be fair 
with Its show people will not ran its evealnc 
show too l4mg, in whlcb case any patrons, of . 
tbe grand stand sbow wlm wMi to do so will 
have time to go down the line on the Pike 
before tbe Jnlce la tnmed off and the fair goes ' 
to sleep for the balance of the night. 

"There Is no doubt of the advisability of 
running evenings wherever possible, particu- 
larly If th»e Is a good live local popolatlOD 
to draw from.

Aside trom tbe flnftnrial aide ot dyinff ez- 

Idldtkimi— and tbat Is aide tbat baa made 
-otber reaolta possible — tbey bare been tbe means 
•of educating tbe public la tbe latest science. 
By no otber means coald the aeroplane bave 
been Introdnced so generally to tbe people, 
fllceptlclam was tbe role even atter the newa- 
Vtpcn bad pabllsbed glowing acconnts of tbe

■boot dying and read alwot It, l»t I nerer 
woald liare bettered yoa coDld do wbat yoa 
bavCk It I had not seen It with my own eyes." 

A. peculiar phase ot tbis edncatlonal work 
ot the aeroplane In tbe amusement field Is tbe 
tact that it bas, in many cases, proven too 
«aay to orereome skepticism. Mncb of tbe 
PDbllc is Inclined to become orer-edacated. or, 
at Irut. OTei-eanfldent. It Ii not taken Into 
«inialdenitioa tbat tbe exhibition Is given a

an ezhlbitlott by bgtb men and women — ^yes. 
-quite a nnmber of .=!wameii— who are ambitions 
to handle tlie macatee themselves, or be taken 
up as paMengera. 

Flying la not an acrobatic atnnt, and on the 
other band. It la not qolte so easy aa It Iook». 
Training la necessary. Jnst aa It Is necessary to 
learn before one may ride a bicycle. A cer- 
tain Instlct, which most of ns have latent, a 
aenae of eqnillbriam mast be developed and 
the manlpidatlon of the machine to control It 
aa this sense directs mnst be learned. 

ExblMtton dights dnring the past year have 
been wtdeaptrad In their edncatlonal effect noon 
-tlw pnblle. This Is evidenced by the tact tbat 
the Cnrtlaa aviators alone have made Sights 
In nearly me bnndred cities ot over seven 
tbonaand Inhabitants and Inclndlng more tban 
half tbe dtlea of more than one bnndred 
thousand popnlatlon. In nearly a score of 
these, zetnm engagements have been filled, 
Oirtlse avlatOTS have taken patt In mepts In 
. -forty-tbree of the one Imndrpd larsest cities in 

the coontry, and aviators flying Wright and 
-other machines have finwn In twelve ot the re- 
maining Hfty-aeven largest cities. 

A nmnber of American promoters dnring 1909 
and 1910 had mannfaetnred and also bmngbt 
Into this con ntr y. foreign makes ot machines, an 
of whibh were consldeiwd more or leSR Infringe- 
ments on tbe Wright Brothers' scheme of con- 
trol. Bxblbltlons of minor Importance were 
lield, and on accomit of Inexperience of the avta- 
tora and being nnskllled in tbe nse ot that partlc- 
nlar type of machine, these exhibitions were 
more or less disappointments to both the pro- 
moters and the pnblic at large, especially tbe 
pnblie. , 

At the Hndson-Folton celebration In 1908. 
filghts were made by Wilhnr tTrlght In wMch 
tie circled tbe Statne of Xlberty and Balled np 
tii« SudBon riT,»r to Grant's Tofn1>, and retnmed 
to Governor's Island. These fliehta took place 
te winds of moderate velocity which In no way 
nampered tbe flieht nr ransed any nneaalness 
OQ the part of Mr. Wright. 

Immediately followlne this d°monstTaflnn. the 
Wright Brothers received hnndreds ot *plic4^ 
tlons for tbe exhibition of their machine, iiat at 
"ttat time did not deem It advlsal>1e to go Into 

the abow bnittesa. and It was not until March 
1, 1910. tbat arrangements were completed for 
gtvlDg these nnblle exhlMHomi. 
_ Pri or to thia t he W Hght Company had been 
foruied. or which Wilhnr Wrtgbt was made pres- 
ident and Orville WMgbt Tice-presldent. An 
exhibition d4>nartment wa» tnnnea In the Wright 
'Company and bnslnesi snlleited. 
_ The; aviators were then engaged, and In or- 
der to give them tbe necessary Instmrtlnns and 

Sactlce. a training station was established at 
ontgomery. Ala., where it was possible to fly 
■«very day in the warm snollght. Tliese avia- 
tor; ^were tnstmcted and trained bv Orvnie 
/wrlgbt peraonally. and In a remarkably abort 
space of time they became qnlte expert In tte 
handling of tbe aeroplanes. The attempted ex- 
^Ittona tbat had been given . in tiie TTnlted 
-States hx niltcensed avtators up to tbls time 
nad created a great araonnt of dlssatlnfactlon 
on the part of tbe -pnblle. on acconnt or the In- 
ahillty of the avlatom to fly on scbednle time, 
or to perform as Oe pnUle had expected, tn ao- 
liclting for 
iHisInefls tbe 
Wright 



time. This additional coaching and training 
cost tbe Wright Company cousiderable time and 
many thousands of dollars. 

The greatest apirit of friendliness existed 
between the. aviators, and as one aviator would 
become skilled In certain stunts, tbe ottaera 
would Immediately try to dnplicate the feat. 
And In tbia manner a friendly rivalry existed, 
which added to rather than detracted from the 
proposition as a whole. 

As soon aa these arlatora made names for 
themselves, thousands of young men tbrongbont 
this country commenced tbe construction ot aero- 
planes with which to compete, and to make 
names &>r themselves, and conseqnently tbe terrl- 



coruea well known and bis attempt to aecure a 
better figure with another orfauiziitlon la always 
met with a flat refusal on account of tbe fact 
that he appeared elsewhere tor less money. 

Therefore, the solicitors ot the Wright Com- 
pany have met with a great amount of competi- 
tion, and especially of this nature. It la not 
the Idea of the Wright Company to knock or 
otherwise depreciate the value of any propo- 
sition whatsoever. And when the Wright ao- 
llcltors met with these argumenta. they could 
only call attention to tbe superiority ot tbe 
Wright machine and the Wright aviators, and 
the satisfaction of those wiio engaged them.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH OUR 
FAIR? 

This question Is frequently asked by msnagsia. 
set-retarU'S, odlcers and often time* by tbe gen- 
eral public. What It is that om atate or county 
can hold a successful annual fair, one that la a 
moae.r-maker and of vast value to tbe no- 
mnnliy, and anoiber county or state can try, 
year after year, with Indifferent aoeceaa? 

The reasons are many, bat In nine cases oat 
ot ten. narrow-minded and penurious msBsgs- 
ment Is responsible for poor attendance. WhUe 
the principal object of tbe annual fair is ts 
promote Inlerest In agricultural and stock pro- 
ducts, too many fair asaociationa overlook tbs 
fact that their patroolxlbg public expect to he 
entertalmvl and amuaed when visiting tbe fair, 
as well as to l>e edncated bow to raise bettor 
coro. wb^-at, barlej- and a blatier grade of stock. 
Too many fairs pay too little atti-ntloB to this 
important department. It la perfectly light and 
proper that liberal premlnma be offered and 
proper quarters provided for the exblbition of 
all cla*ts,>R of products of tbe farm; that ample 
facilities be furnlKbed for machinery and indus- 
trial exhibits: but when this Is dons. atteBtien 

sboiilil neit be given lo Ibc smuaemtot dsptlt- 

menl. 

Horse races are allrigbt and every fair sbonld 
offer purses sufllclent to attract iMtaea tbat win 
provide good rontesta, bat the time lias paaasd 
when harness horse ereots will Increase your 
grandfitand attendance. Something more ts nee- 
esaary. and it is the fairs which augment 
their raring program w»u several clean, moral 
vauilerllle acts tbat are proving aoccesaful. 

Tbe faira that are proving most anecesstsl 
are those which keep their gates open both day 
and night and put on an evening eatertatnmrat 
In front of the grandstaDd. Aside from the 
additional money received frtMn privileges wbcrs 
this has been tried. ■ lirge attendance froai 
the town or city la secured at night from tboae 
who find It Impossible to attend In tbe day time. 
It costs no more for vsndevllle attractions and 
a moderate-priced flreworks display supplied 
by a flrst-claas concern adds a featni* tbat la 
always a big drawing card and pleasing to aay 
audience. Any fair that can arrange to liln- 
mlnate Its groands st night, mskes a most sar- 
lona mistake in holding a day fair only. 

The Minoesola State Fair waa the first to In- 
aogurate this policy and their prtvllecs depart- 
ment Ibis past year Inmed in over (M.00t 
against less than (4.000 In IMM. tbe last year

The rapid erowtli and development of county 
and state fairs and their importance to the peu- 

iple geaerally is a subject now commanding earu- 
*^»t thoupht in practically every section of the 
Union, and. that they be not allowed to retro- 
grade in their onward march of progress, it Is 
very esaehtlal : that sonnd. conservative business 
methods be employed in their management. 

From the small acom springs the mighty 

«iik. and so. from the earlier exhibltlona of our 
tforefatbers — necessarily limited In tlieir scope 
«ail.;lnt1uence^haTe developed the modem coun- 
ty .fair and ' the stupendoos state exposition. 
«acli now nnlrenally tecognlzea as a factor of 
;<lie greatest importance Is the derelopment of 
' <iur;artS;'and;lndaatiIes.;:;.' : :; 

EdncaUon sia the cardlBat'otlneipIe of all mod- 
era expositions— great or small— and that the 
lessons to be learned may be properly presented 
it is necessary that each department be sys- 
tematically organized, both as to management 
duifl arrangement of exhibits and displays. We 
wIU not attempt to here treat this snbject from' 
the exhibit viewpoint, bnt will briefly present 
a few hints regardlnjr systematic department 
«nanagement,''in reference to the dntles and re- 
«ponslbUitIes of the superintendent. 

Tears ago tbere was bnt one ofHcIal of a 
fair— the secretaryt but the day has long since 
Dassed when the sneeess or failure of an ex- 
blbltlon Is dependent: npon. the efforts of one 
man. : and: today at :cacli Bneeessfnl fair wUI 
70U And a loyal band of enetgetle. progressive 
men composing the board of managers, each 
charged with Important departmental dntles. 
Tbey act, in unison wttn the secretary, and the 
fruOi Of their united effort are ahown In the 
mcceas that now attends , these ezhlbltlomi. 
They have tbna been lifted from the plane of 
A. frolic to Instltntlona of real worth and merit. 

Each department of a fair sbonid be inde- 
pendently orgaaUed, with proper oOclals In 
chaise^ and roles neither too stringent nor 
too lax should be eatabllahed for its govern- 
ment. Xbe enfmcement of these mies should 
be placed In the hands of the head of each 
varflenlar department, lie to lelga snoreme In 
alt qnestlODa or disputes that may arise, ex- 
cept those of such moment as in his Judgment 
require action of the full lioard of managers. 
By so investing the snperintendent with &b- 
solnte control of his department yon will el- 
iminate many. If not all, of the minor com- 
fiialnts that now ranch the ears of the busy 
»ecretary. Trivial complalats. such as the Is- 
suance of the proper nnmber of passes, disagree- 
•nenta regarding apace, etc.. shoold never en- 
croach Dpoa:- the secretary's time unless brooght 
to bis attention by the snperintendent. Er- 
Tors in entries properly belong to the secretary, 
and by him wm be promptly adjusted, bat 
aside from these there shomd be naught from 
the varions departments to vex and worry him. 
His time and attention are fnlly occupied in 
the ezecuUve department of the exhibition, and 
Ua ttonbles are many, wlthoat added hardens. 

In selecting yonr snperintendent do so with 
« view as to his especial adaptability for the 
•department assigned; Imptess anon him strongly 
<he : responsibilities of bis- position; Insnre him 
Chat the full atragtb of the board of managers 
win sanction bis every act when In accord- 
ance with the governing roles; make him a sa- 
iierlntendent in fact as well as name, with full 
authority over his department, and many of the 
Tongh spots that now aerve to clog the wheela 
•of smoothness will disappear. Bides are estab- 
Vshed to be observed, therefore rigidly enforce 



all those that appear In yonr catalog, and play 
no favorites. 

Each department should be eiinlpped with a 
full corps of helpers, capable of transacting all 
business pertaining to that department, and 11 
sboald be so arranged that It be unneces- 
sary for any exhibitor to call upon the secre- 
tary, except, perhaps, to receive his premium 
vou<^er or correct- entrance errors. 

Abandon the committee Idea and place your 
trust in one capable man for. each department. 
It win please yonr exhibitors, as when they 
have a grievance or request they know where 
to find the proper oCBcial. and are not **Jock- 
eyed" from one man to another as is now preva- 
lent at many exhibitions. This same rule 
should apply to concessiana, and yon should not 
expect yonr , concessioner to uways appear 
pleasant when perhaps after being located by 
the man be presumed to be In charge, another 
member of the committee sternly commands 
him to move, as that location has been reserved 
for the swing man. It is the small details 
that perfect the mechanism: the large errors 
are go glaring that all may see. 

How Often does it happen that Mr. Exhibitor 
or Concessioner, in quest of information, seeks 
the snperintendent and by that oSclal Is re- 
ferred to -the secretary for reply? This en- 
tails, in a majority of cases, a trudge across 
the grounds to headqnarters, and there be In- 
quiries of the derk for the secretary and la po- 
litely informed that that official Is engaged at 
present. It then becomes necessary for bim 



to await bla turn with perhaps a doarn or more 
gentlemen until that officer Is at leisure to 
bear his request or complaint. 

After the loss of much valuable time he se* 
enrea an audience with the secretary, only to 
be Informed that the matter In question will 
be adjusted after a conference with the super- 
Inteudeut or committee in charge. He departs 
vexed and disappointed. How different would 
It be if Mr. Exhibitor, approaching the super- 
intendent, is informed tbat the matter will bave 
the Immediate attention of tbat official. By 
this method there would be no weary waits 
nor loss of time and harmony would prevail In 
the department. It may be a little more 
high-sounding to Inform the exhibitor that his 
request will be referred to the committee or 
sucretary, bnt it is much more business like 
Cor the snperintendent to Immediately adjust 
all differences in his department. How many 
societies are there that have lost a valuetl 
exhibitor or a profitable concessioner by these 
red-tape methods, when, bad the superin- 
tendent lieen empowered with proper authority, 
all would have been serene. The fallacy of 
the old adage, **Xwo heads are better than 
one.V was never more forcibly presented than 
in the settlement of minor disputes and com- 
plaints between fair societies and exhibitors or 
concessioners. 

Ohio stands pre-eminent as the leading fair 
state of the Union, and of ita eighty-eight 
counties no less Chan seventy-five are annually 

condncting agrlcnltoral and indostrlal exhlU-

say that here at a majqrity of . these exhibitions 
the superintendent is supreme In hU department, 
while peraonally I know of , many atate ■ and 
county exhlbttlouB In the sister states that are 
stlU In the dark ages, or. to be more explicit, 
the departments are under committee manage-

I will not attempt to go further In a dlscua- 
sion of this subject, but will leave these Cvw 
thoughts regarding the duties and responsibili- 
ties of the suuennteudent for yonr considera- 
tion. The subject of systematic fair manage- 
ment Is a broad one, and through the columns 
of The Billboard we could proBtably discuss It 
through the long winter months. By the Inter- 
change of ideas much good would result, and 
I trust Its columns will be fr^ly used by fair 
managers far that purpose. 



DOES THE AMUSEMENT BUSINESS 
PAY? 



By AHTHUH E. CP OTnHOHAM. 

I have been asked many times If the busi- 
ness of amusing the public was profitable or 
If some "angel" always tooted the bill. While 
It la true that many times an amusement eu- 
terprlse is backed by an "angel" and that the 
only person It pays la the promoter who skiiis 
with the leading lady and the receipts. Ktill 
1 know of many personal cases where a man 
with very Utile capital has made a great suc- 
cess In the amusement business. 

One case that 1 remember In particular was 
that of a farmer who mottgagca Us farm to 
secure money with which to porchose a' merry- 
go-round. His neighbors all thbnght him a lit 
subject for the insane asylum and I confess 
that I myself thought him a little off. He 
purchased a machine at a cost of 12.400 and 
in two years of bard work had not only paid 
the mortgage from his place but had the ma- 
chine and a nice bank account aa welL In 
the four years this gentleman kept this ma- 
chine he cleared over $1,200 yearly and when 
he quit got a good price for bis machine. Au- 
other case that is brought to my mind is that 
of several brothers who saved enough money 
to secure a side wall and launched a small 
fair ground show with bat a tew acts. They 
conducted their business on business prin- 
ciples and made some money. They kept In- 
creasing their business until they launched a 
small wagon show. Success seemed to follow 
them and dually they went on the railroad. 
These boys have stuck at it, and today they 

own the Campbell Brothers' Show. Benlsh 
Poynter, wbo has made a great success and 
money, too, with her dramatisation of Lena 
Blvers, started on a small scale. With her 
bnsband she Invested all her savings In scenery 
and paper and then launched the show. While 
playing in Toledo It was brought to the at- 
tention of a arm of New York manieers that 
her play would be a winner, so she was given 
city time and has made her play a winner for 
three years. I know of several smsU dog and 
pony shows that go out each season and make 
a handsome profit for tiielr owners. In a ma- 
jority of cases the owners of these shows are 
men who were In bad health and Invested In 
an outdoor business more to regain their health 
than to make money. In a great majority of 
the cases where an amusement enterprise goes 
to the wall, it can lie traced to bad btuinesa 
methods. 

A nnmber of onr successful nevfspaper men 
got their training and money to start their 
pa[>ers out of the amusement business. Several 
fine hotels are owned by men, who made their 
money in the amusement business. I might 
mention nnmerons cases where this business 
certainly pays, and I see no reason why any 
one that Is adapted to this bnslneas and uses 
good business methods should not make money 
out of the amusement business. 



Despite early notices to the contrary, James- 
town, o„ will have a fair this year In Septem- 
ber, probably following I..ebanoa and preceding 
Wilmington, making a tbrre-fair circuit, close 
together, Jamestown hns given two splendid 
fairs with big crowds and general satisfaction. 
The otDcers remain the same: R. C, George pres- 
ident, and W, J. Galvin, secretary. Mr. Oalvlo 
Is also secretary of the Ohio Racing Clrcnlt this 
year, composed of Dayton, SprtngBeld. Lima, 
Toledo and Ftndlay.

Advertising the Fair 



By L. N. BRUEGGERHOFF. 
(Seeretarr Loolslaav State Talr.) 



Tlie luoccm oi any fair nowadaji depend* 
largely opoa tbv way It U adTertliedi for to 
bttag the people to a fair, yaa mait flnt tell 
them you are (oIok to have one, and at the lama 
time what they trill see after setting there. 

I have dtTided our adrertlilng Into three 
clanlfleatiooa: "Outdoor Publicity," "Newapa- 
pers" and "Direct Advertlalns." 

By outdoor publicity I mean blllpoatloK In 
all Ita braDctaea. FIrat we must contract with 
our local blllpoater to corer all the territory 
within a radlua of ISO miles of Bbreveport; this 
includca all the principal eltlea alons the tall- 
roads and amall towna adjacent. Then,, too. In 
addltloi^ to that, team triiw are made to teach 
oat alons the main roads leading from the rail- 
road towns* 

Whenever it is possible. 3 and 8-sbeets are 
used, but when space can not be found, 1-Bbeeta 
are put np In the most prominent places. 
Muslin signs are tacked np on the fences, bama, 
trees, etc. Thus, the people coming to town 
are bound to see yonr adrertlalng matter. In 
every railroad station, a one-sbeet la bone op. 

TblB has Bpeclally-prepared copy In a condensed 
form, and especial attention la called to the 
reduced rates for the fair. 

In cities beyond ISO miles, the biUposting la 
sent to the regular billposter. We uanaUy ad- 
vertise In the large eltiea for three months In 
advance of the fair, and to cover adjacent ter- 
ritory, ten billposters do the work In sixty 
days before the fair. 

In handling tbe newspapers, a contract ia 
given nboot 200 weelcly publications, and they 
carry a 12-inch display ad for three months. 
In addition to that, two fnil pages of press plate 
matter Is fumlsbed each one, and tbia service 
is furnished each one. and this service is pnb- 
lished free of cost. Each week an article per- 
taining to the fair is sent out to tbe country 
newspapers, and It Is always used by them. 

Tbe city papers In onr home town give pub- 
licity to tbe fair all the year round. Page and 
half-page advertisements are nsed freely just 
before tbe fair opens. Then we use space in 
all class papers, such as Tbe Billboard, live 
stock and poultry publications. 

Every envelope used by the merchanta of 
Shreveport haa our trade-mark, showing the 
date of the fair printed thereon. This Is 
generally done the first of the year, and this 
gives ns about ten months of free advertising. 
The merchants pay for tbe printing. Then we 
osaally Issne abont 60.000 24-page booklets. U- 
Instratlng onr fair grounds, bnildlngs, exbibits 
and attractions. We also have printed 100.000 
postcards of all descriptions, these being fur- 
nished the citizens free of cost, but they pay 
the postage. 

We also publish 18,000 catalogues and pre- 
mium lists. A. special advertising folder Is 

" package 

travel- 



tnrnlahed all the famidrlea and evev package 

eilng oat of the dtr contains one. The travel- 
g men ' distribute a large amount of_ sonveoirs. 



etc.. tmongit their customers, and do > great 
deal towards advertlsiog s fair. 

This la an outline of our advertising cam- 
paign for the year IDll, and other propositions 
not yet matured wlU be used. 

The development of fairs during the past 
decade have been indeed marvelous. From a 
frolic they have been lifted to a plane command- 
ing tbe respect and admiration of all. And to tbe 
enterprise of the progressive dwwman in no 
amall measure Is this due. 

With his adTent came the demise of those 
leedies witli tbe mre-thlng. atrong-arm game. 
Tears ago these gentry predominated,, but to- 
day they are consplcnoao by tfaeif at>9ence. 
ne sbewiman waa the first to open the eyes of 
the public to these palpable frauds, and their 
extermination haa been sure and fast. Edu- 
cation la now paramount at all these exhi- 
bitions, bat the seasoning wblcta makes the di- 
■eatlon of tbe leoons • ftUasoie. is prorided 
by the amosement featarea. The- visitor views 
and leans from the exhibits of pare bred stock, 
agriculture and hortlcultnre. bnt the amuse- 
ments serre as the dessert to the well-provided 
menu of education. The character of these 
attracUona should be such that they may be 
safely visited by man, woman or child. The 
"bally.** requiring ecantlly-dressed, gaudily- 
painted female creatarea, should not be toler- 
ated. Refined vaudeville, animal acts and lUu- 
Bions are much preferred. 

Monstrosities abould also occupy a conspicu- 
ous niche In the has-been class. The lU- 
repnte of all midway performances is directly 
traceable to tbe so-called "girl" shows. Gen- 
tlemen with shows of a refined character hare 
snifered from this latter dass. The midway 
is now CDjoyinc prosperity, it !• a tecognlzed 



amusement feature, not only at the county fair, 
but at every leading state exposition. This 
prosperous condition will be enjoyed as long as 
cleanliness prevails. Its decadence will come 
with the Introduction of the immoral abows. 

Karkenlng to the demands of their patrons, 
every fair now presents free featate perform- 
ances. Tbe amount expended lor these is enorm- 
ous. Their ^araeter ■hoold be varied. 

Keep abreast «f the times in your •muse- 
ment features. A new novelty performance 
contracted for tl.OOO la wortfa more to yonr 
gate than the some amount expended for five 
acta of mediocre character, commanding no 

gubliclty ability. Yonr leading feature Aonld 
e one that will earn In the news eolamna 
double Its contract price. 

Never allow a few hundred dollars to stand 
between yea and an act that In your Judgment 
will be freely exploited through the press. Do 
not nudereatunate the power of printer's Ink. 
A clean midway, strong feature acts and the 
1011 amusement problem is eolred. 

Men of sterling cfaaracter are now engaged 
In supplying these acta, and the work of the 
secretaty In selecting a suitable program is 
lightened by the booking agencies. 

Amusements are essential to tbe success of 
any fair, and managera should carefully scm- 
tinlze the claims of promoters before entering 
Into contract. Not only bare we booking agen- 
cies, but many of the etronsrest acts are book«d 
Individually. A perusal of The Billboard will 
prove valuable to every secretary seeking high- 
class fefltore performance*. 



In making your contracts for yonr sltows, much 
care most be exercised. In the first place, you 
must know the people yoa are dealing with, 
and be sure and doee with those who are per- 
fectly reeponslble and reliable. A lot of show 
people In the early part of tSie aeason will 
close contracts Indiscriminately, and then when 
the time comes for delivery. If the jump Is 
too far you get no shows. 

Co-operatloa with brother fair secretaries Is 
the surest plan. Five or alx fairs form a good 
circuit. Get Oie rlgbt dwwB and all pun to- 
gether, dose for the same attractions, and yon 
are almost certain they will be In on time. 

After yoa have dosed with a good line of at- 
tractions and know they will be there, you most 
advertise. Feature every show, telling they are 
all moral and dean, which they must be, and 
yoa know it. Invite tbe ladles and children to 
visit them, and you will, after the first day, have 
thousands of people advertlalng for yoa. 

Now It often occurs that some people cau 
not afford to take In many shows, so it Is es- 
sential to have a liberal line of free atliactlons. 
Of course, yon must have some feature, good- 
drawing free' acts, but don't forget the ladles 
and children. For them, animals are the star 
attraction, eepeclally monkeys, beaze, etc. In 
the afternoon scatter the acts, bnt at night put 
off your free acts as late as possible and adver- 
tise the exact time when they will start. In 
this way the shows can entertain tbe crowds and 
it Is a moneyed proposition for both of you. 

Now for the band. Everybody likes mnalc, 
and crowds wlH always follow the band. Get

THE GAYr-MUSiCIAN A SUMMER 
ft ' TONIC. 

Xothins could have tieen more stlmulatins, 
more amusing, or mOre " inviting to the crowds 
at Obester Park. Clucinnaci. than tbe premiere

jlngUng eumic opera, Tbe ilay Musician, intro- 
ducing the well-known star, >liss Supbia Branitt. 
whose siuKing of tbe stellar role carried the 
piece on lo a pinnacle ot success. To .be sure. 
The Gay Musician is. by no meaus a new «i«rr- 
etta to Cluclunatiansr. but lis bring pruduceil In 
ttock could not help but create luierest witb aU 
lovers of light, airy music. Tbe pr-sluctlon 
speaks well for lt» producers, who to,tk every 
means tbat It should tie worthy of guod and 
critical audiences. 

When It comes to tlie plot of tbe piece, there 
IB r^aliy very little: bardly more than a giw 
aamer thread to hold It together. But wlier* 
the librettist pets off be has made sa'iiie very 
humorous situations, together witb . buinuniiis 
anil rather pointed lines that causes ymi to i*lt 
up and take notice. But tbe music is the whole 
enrcess of The Gay Miisiebin. Mr. Eilward* 
has never done tietter work in clear, ringin;; 
melody. There are times when be carries bb* 
work far above tbe iinality of modem c<*inlc u{>era 
mnslc^ and It . I» here lie caps the cllmajces at 
the xleht time. 

Of eoarae^ all. know Miss Shpbia Brandt, the 
star of . the pnaluctioo. An.V€iue who ever saw 
Tbe Waltz Dream will aever forset herr i-lie 
made tbat piece a great success aniL in creat- 
ing the role of Marie l>ah,it«. In The Gny Musi-

This dear old town has awakened from Its long 
sleep of drcarlnei^s and now has somewhat the 
appearance of a- live up-to-date metropolis, 
gaily decked and bannereil. The cause Is tbe 
forty-si cond nnuu:il .meeting of the Grand Lodge 
of tbe Knights nf rytblas for Ibis good old 
Buckeye State. Ohio. .\s all such gatherings 
draw Immense crowds, the citizens have tried 
to outdo each other In giving plenty of entertain- 
ments of the amusement line, so that notliing 
can 'be said but praises for tbe hospitalities 
shown.

already V — . and those in charge of carrying 
them ont are now busy with their execution. 

In order tbat those who visit the fair this sea- 
aon afaaU see the -nat ImproTements that have 
twcB made ammgementa to Itave an aeroplane 
aeet are oow imder way. It la fiie purpose of 
Uioae In diarjce to get some of the best known 
aviators to attend and Kive fnll demonstrations 
•f tbelr wonderfnl bird-like flights. Tbe West- 
•meis like snythlnir exciting, and to see the 
feerless ilyeis pnnctnrlng holes In the ozone at 
■n altltade of two tbonsand feet or more, wonld 
be the comment of the neighborhoods In fonr 
■tates for tbe next twelve montbs. Besides the 
aeroplane flights, there will be some great vaa- 
derille attractions. The midway will be bigger 
and better than ever. 

Of coarse no fair b complete wltbont Its 
horse races, and all lovera of tiotters will have 
a dia&ce to witness some good and lively heats. 
The track Is the fastest in this section of the 
eonntry, and many of the beat hones wiU en- 
ta. This featnie is always one of the biggest 
tawing cards at the fair.

sbadow tbat of any prevloos year. TMs so- 
ciety is associated with five other fairs In the 
Sontbem HInnesota Circuit, and its meet will 
be tbe first of the series. Several blgb-clas*. 
free attractions have been engaged, the 'drci'^t 
havlDg made a laner approprlatloa for this te- 
tnie uian ever berare. In past seasons the C 
cult's adverting In The Kllboaxd has broopbf 
the best of letnma In the way of sales of con- 
cessions, and it Is expected tbat the demand 
will be even greater this fall. Incteased at- 
tendance is looked for from the fact that the 
Minnesota State Dairymen's Association has 
designated this fair as one of those at which 
silver cnps will be offered for tbe best herds of 
dairy cattle exhibited, and there Is a great 
probability tbat tbe Minnesota Holsteln-Frlesian 
Association will condoct a branch cattle show 
in c<mnectlon wltlx tbe competition. Light har- 
ness xadng will, as usual, be aa Important fea- 
ture of tbe fair. Owners from a nnmber of

CARNIVAL NOTES. 



The ITazeppa Famons Shows, the attraction 
tbat the Backenstoe Brothers of Colnmbos, O., 
have orsanized and named for their world-known 
horse. Mazeppa. opened the season Tery anspl- 
cloQSly In Kokomo, Ind., Monday afternoon. 
May 29. The attraction is, andonbtedly. one of 
tbe best of its kind the conntry has ever known, 
and the company thronghoat is one of the really 
Qp-to-date ones. Mazeppa's advance brigade is 
la charge oC and under the personal direction of 
Harry Sanger, one of tbe l)est-known contracting 
agents In the business. Mr. Sanger will do all 
the booking and .contracting and will be assisted 
by Mr. Lew Marensei' formerly with the Bark- 
oot Shows, as second, man. : Boy Bears will be 
Mr. Sanger's other assistant; and he will work 
In conjunction with Mr. Marcnse. The company 
is using as much specially Iltbograpbed picto- 
rial paiier as tbe average drcns, and tlie old 
term, "billing like a circos,"- Is certainly not 
out of place' when speaking of this end of the 
Mazeppa Shows. Back with the show, the staff 
is Messrs. W. I..: and X,. B. Backenstoe. sole 
owners and managers; Mr. Orvllle Bunnell, for- 
merly traveling representative and press agent 
for C. P". Walkeir of -Winnipeg, secretary-treas- 
nrer and press lepiesentatlve. and "Doc" James 
Bny.. general iannonneer. tDie shows proper are

TTnder the anqilcea of ttie Children's Flay- 
groond Association, the Kansas Greater Shows 
attracted thousands of- people to the show 
grounds. Washington. Pa., last . week. Mr. 
Kranse. manager, has ordered beautiful paneled 
fronts for all the shows, whlcb will be on in a 
few days. Plenty of gold leaf and myriads of 
electric lights will make these fronts rank among 
tbe best in the show bnslness. O. Bf. Maswell. 
who acts as director in general of the ootllt, 
has spared nothing to make these shows a sue- 
cess. The merl' s of each show were carefnlly 
Investigated, am': fonnd to be those which would 
be elevating to the minds of the public in gen- 
eral. The gaily uniformed band of sixteen 
piecesr. and Divola. who leaps from the lofty 
belshts of a ninety-foot ladder into a shallow 
tank of water, help to keep the crowus in good 
snlrits. These shows will pisy nothing bnt big 
city dates. Upward of two hundred people go 
to make up the deanest class of a tt r a c t ions of 
this description ever seen In Wasbinglnn. Bex. 
the pony which does everything bnt talk, and

ner and sncceeds In turning large crowds. Jocko

the front. Kllbcnim's Annex Is deserving of 
much credit. They carry a nine-piece bind. The 
program has six feature acts. Tbe work of 
Baby Powell in toe, dog and sMrt dancing Is 
worthy of mention, as Is that of Nanny Powell 
In trombone solos and ballad singing. Dr. Bar- 
field, owner of the Plantation Show, has en- 
gaged the b»Rt colored talent. The show has 
fonrtpen performers. Flossie Ingram Is featured, 
Barfleld offers a «00 chaOenge to any citizen 
who trill produce as rapid a dancer as Flossie.

Tbe Great Patterson Shows filled the week 
of June 12-17 at Belolt. Wis., and did big busi- 
ness, the indosnre and tlie shows beng crowded 
nightly. The WlU Animal Show, which la eas- 
ily the main point of Interest, drew great bnsl- 
ness, Signor SacasUn and his herd of elephants 
are easily the big feature. An act Is presented 
that gives the Idea of a romp on the part of 
trainer and elephants. Princess Dixie gives an 
act with her lions tbat thrills, and she nerson- 
aiiy makes a handsome appearance. Captain 
Cordos lias a collection of domestic animals, in- 

clnding a hnge ox. which Is easily the star of the 
lot, and shows wonderful handling. The Flying 
Wemtzes present a fine double trapeze act. They 
seem to have an endless change of costumes. 
J. H. Johnson's Xomia Shows Is one of 'the finest 
carnival features ever presented. Twenty-eleht 
people are with this one attraction, indndlng 
fifteen stunning girls. The Bacfcman Glass 
Show is finely managed and pleased every one. 
COL Ceo. W. Hall was a visitor Jone 13. He

metropolis during such a gala week.

The fourth annual meeting of the Henry Coun- 
ty Pair Aesoi-iatlon will be held in Paris. Tenn., 
September 20-23. This fair haa an annual at- 
tendance of about 20,000 persona, and is offering 
larger premiums and better Inducements to ex- 
hibitors and visitors this year than at any 
time In the past. This aBsoctatlon Is a member 
of the Kentucky-Tennessee-MIsslsslppI Fair Cir- 
CDlt, and has since Its organisation been a finan- 
cial success. This success Is mainly due to the 
fact that It has the backing of the farming and 
hiislneai interests ef tbe county lo which it li 
located. The races are, of coarse, the main tea- 
tare of the meeting, but there Is no lack of In- 
terest In the other department!, while the igrl- 
cnltnral and live stock exhibits deserve special 
mention.

MISS GERTRUDE HOFFMAN EN- 
TRANCES. 



It tbere; Is anr actress In the center of tbe 
Kew Tork public's apmreclation. it is Gertmde 
Hoffman. ■■ 'WUIe cm : the United Time, playing 
Gotham vandeviUe theatres, lier eu^gement in 
all cases were extended. The andlence en- 
joyed her dever impersonations of Anna Held, 
BIddie Foy. : Era Tangnay and many others. 
They were not the least bit loathe to demon- 
strate their lore for the clever actress by their 
prolonged applanse and their heavy attendance. 
This same star is bade again in the mutropidis,

Wednesday- evenlni;^ : Jnne 14. Her present 
vehicle is nndeniably a summer show, and bids 
fair to command attention thronghont the;entire 
season, portly because of the novelty of the en- 
tertainment as well as because of Its richness 
and elaliaratenees of detail. 

The organization is supposed to be an exact 
reproduction of that whlch^ow holds the boards 
at the Chatelet Theatre In Paris and New York

profltably In this dtyw: !nils form of divcrtise- 
ment has not been readily appreclat>.-d by the 
Anglo-Saxon, who approves rather of pungency of 
conversation. Yet. the mnte stars In Uiclr 
scanty attire are likely to win much credit iu 
their latest specialty. 

The press comments most favorably upon tbe 
sbow as a whole, a. few of them taking excep- 
tion to the abandon with which Miss Hoffman 
interprets some of the Oriental dances. Her 
work in Cleopatnt and Sbeherazade while art- 
istic Is accused oC vnlgatlty. , 

Xbc Bnssiana;, whom she: has Imparted; are all 
accomplished exponents of the art of dancing. 
Tbe World makes a statement that Miss Hoffman 
is merely a votary of the art. The possibili- 
ties of the futnre artistic dancing are favorably 
shown by the [lerfonners and there Is but lit- 
tle doubt that the public will staiap their 
approval upon the serpentine gyrations of the 
various members of the ballet. 

The American Suds very much In the perform 
ance that commands favorable appreciation. - It 
speaks of the love that the Mew Yorker has 
for Gertmde Hoffman and predicts that the Win- 
ter Garden Show will eqKy a aatlsflictorr run. 

The masic -wai&' not the least sneoeaatol feature 
of the Winter Garden's ne\» entertainment. The

which accompanied Shtheiazads with much 
spirit. .

After a few we?ks* visit to Europe In search 
of novelties for the Cabaret or Midnight Sbow at 
the FoUes Bergere, William Harris returned on

novelties as the producers of this country. Mr. 
Harris, however, in the course of ills Inspection 
of tbe leading music balls of England and the 
Continent found a number of acts and artists 
which while tremendous hits abroad have never 
been seen in America. . Among those he signed 
for the summer at the. Folies Bergere are Ionia, 
a -very beautiful young woman of twenty-two

New York. June IT (Special to The BlBboard). 
— Daly's Theatre was lllimiinated for a specific 
■ canso — its doors were finng open for a ileftnite 
.reason. In itself somewhat of a novelty, for op- 
era Invaded It and threatens to bold It captive 
for quite a spell to come on the progressive 
transference of tbe New Grand Opera Company. 

The World has the following to say: "From 
the Bowery to. Broadway Is something of a lump 
lor a musical organisation, but the New Grand 
Opera Company accomplished the task when it 
transferred its activities from the people's to 
Daly's Theatre. Aida was the opera, as on the 
occasion of the Bowery opening several weeks 
ago. and it was almost a!% well done." 

The Times gives the following more thoioneh 
comment: "Imois Zoro's Xew Grand Opera Com- 
pany graduated from the Bowery on Saturday 
evening, and began a season of opera last night 
at Daly's with Aida. a work which was fre- 
quently In the reiwrtoire of tne company when It 
was playing further downtown. The organiza- 
tion is really a most pralsewortlir one. and 
gives a .representatloD of tills work of Verdi's 
which Is well worth beating. Josiah Znro, the 
son of ths Impresario of the company. Is an or- 
chestral conductor of talent. He learned bis 
metier pretty tboronghly at tne Manhartan opera 
House OS chorus master, and he has demonstrated 
since that be Is quite capable of handling an or- 
chestra. . . 

■■•'"^^u'"''""^'' -Alfla cast are

tlve Aida. and Miss Gentle a good Amnerls. Mr.

Tina the Bamphis. and Mr. Cervl the King. 

•When the work was first produced by this 
cnnipanv. Mr. Albcttl sang the part of Badames. 
■nils mie is now undertaken by Carlo Cartica, 
ho seemoil to please the large audience present, 
'hlrh applauded vodferously at opportune mo- 
ments.

hwe been Improved, and Sl^rnor Znro promises 
further improvement In thb dlreetfon."

usual amount of new acts, only three of them,

position. Mi^s Carus saug four numt>ers, oil of

slack-rope fame, has signed a blanket contract 
with E. F. Carrotbets of tbe United Fairs 
Booking Association, dating from tbla week 
when be will open In North Battlefield, Canada, 
to December 26, at which time bis contract ex- 
pires at Beaumont, Tex. Mr. Henderson's act 
Is without a doubt considered one of the most 
popular acts playing county and state fairs, 
as his originality and comedy causes many Jus- 
tified "by becns" from tbe grangew, whom he 
lmper»>nates so faithfully. His work as a 
"hick" in (rout of the srandstand on the track 
previous to the rendition of htf rope act. has 
been a great factor in establiulng his popu- 
larity and It may be truthfully said "He's In 
a class by himself."

WARM WEATHER CONQUERS. 



Chicago, ni., June 19 (Special to Tbe BDl- 
boBTd), — Theatrical bnslneas In and about tbe 
Wipdy City has come to a fnU stop. Business Is 
reported to be bad In all bouses playing vaude- 
ville, also the "leglt" honaes have been losing 
steadily. There axe only a few mote ot the 
small time houses open here. The Kedale, 
which bad been holding Its own tot the naat 
few weeks against tbe warm wave, cloaed this 
week ith tbe alrdome, taking Its place. Tbe 
American, which closed here a few weeks ago, 
will remain with dosed doors till the early 
part of August, when it will no me back by 
playing big acts tbe same standard as they were 
running when the ball closed Its doors. 

Several of tbe smaller bonses along Madison 
and State Streets, which play pictures with a 
few acts for good measure, seem to be doing 
the only and real business around tHa town. 
The crowds continue playing them from momUig 
till night, but it Is predicted that they wlu 
pull down tbe banner shonld the warm weather 
continue as It has been In tbe past few weeks. 

No allotting time has been given tbe Majestic 
for its closing date, but no doubt It will shut 
Its doors around July, reopening the early part 
of August. Jt seems that tbe Intentions of tbe 
Majestic management Is to keep tbo bouse open 
all summer tbe same thing being agreed upon 
last season, but did not succeed as tbe bouse 
shut down during the month of July, remaining 
closed fOz about 35 days. 

AH tbe stock bouses about the city have 
been closed for some time. Stock somehow or 
other does not seem to meet with success about 
here, but it Is claimed by certain parties in- 
terested behind tbe stock movement that next 
season a majority of tbe "leglt" bonses and 
several of the smaller ones will attempt to play 
stock. Agreements have been made wltb some 
of the smaller bouses that In case stock sbonld 
fall they would be able to get right Into tbe 
vandevllle field again without losing any time 
making arrangements.

year than ever and the feature attraction Is tbe 
free Tandeville. which Is held in tbe large Crys-

Where are you going? Answer — ^to tbe Ma- 
jestic. Who's tbe beadllner? Eddie Foy. Yes, 
It was Bddle Foy who held the top honor of the 
Majestic program last week Hut the aaylng 
of "Poor Yoilck We Knew Him WeB" can 
again be Draught back to the reeoneetim ot 
many who witnessed the bill through the week. 
Fov did bis part in attracting the public, but 
fell short on entertaining them. Many surprises 
were sprtmg at tbe bouse on Monday evening, 
where as acts practically unknown to tbe Windy 
City theatregoers . Jumped in and without half 
trying, scored bit after bit. 

Le Rov and Paul, with a comedy bar act, 
started tbe real dishings ot tbe long dinner to 

b« -bad. For tlieir first portion they served 

out was tbelr difficult acrobatic stnnts on tbe 
bars, winning the appreciation ot the audience 
from all over tbe bouse. Tbelr comedy was of 
the Hast water and quenched the thirst of 
many of the theatre's patrons. 

Boblnson Mewbold and Marie Lonlse Grlb- 
bln with singing and Impetsonations on No. 2, 
scored quite a hit. TWs Is a new act sprouting 
Into the two-a-day and ought to be a bit on any 
"big time" bill. 

Campbdl and Tates. vrlth their comedy sketch. 
Two Hundred Miles Stem Broadway, will never 
do. Tbere Is no comedy, no laughs and the only 
thing to do with this sketch is to pnt same on 
the shelf and get a new one. 

Will Sogers and his lassoing caught atten- 
tion Immediately. Working In bis simple char- 
acter Rogers bad tbe house wltb him at every 
turn and dished ont little morsels of rope eats 
tlU be bad tbe house asking for more. He baa 
a routine of clever tricks and gets away with 
all the comedy that be pulls. 

Bernard and Dorothy Granville, late Of Mar- 
riage a la Carte, followed Rogera and simply 
cleaned up. Bernard Is some dancer and had 
tbe bouse going mad wltb his soft-shoe steps. 

Mile. Blanei Froebllch. assisted by Ivan Bank- 
holf, displayed dasa In their character dances. 
Mr BanktaolTs routine ot dancing will have to 
be treated to a dose of overhauling, as he does 
the some routine through the entire act and 
this tires an audience. Several .of the dances 
were very well done with tbe excci>tIott of a 
few mishaps. . 

Tate's MotortaB followlnir on the heels of 
Foy, still remains the same laugh-getter as of 
old, and kept the house giggling and langbing 
ontrlgbt to the finish. , , 

The Bight Original Berlin Madcaps were 
down, closing the bill. These eight little misses 
kept the house seated and treated .the audience 
to the final dessert of the evening. Melville 
Bills was bined to appear, bat failed to do so. 



wltb a big notice which Is prominently displayed 
In tbe booking office of Norman Fried enwald. It 
reada: "Nothing but White Bats and A. A. A. 
booked In this office." Mr. Itiedenwald Is tbe 
most Important Independent agent In Ohlcago and 
this action on his part la the more appieelated 
as It was on his own volition. 

Virginia Drew aacr go Into stock tbls sum- 
mer. Sbe Is entertaining several offers. She 
was In vandevllle last winter with Love a la 
Mode. 

George De Ouzo left Chicago Wednesday of 
last week for MomeiKe, III., when he will 
spend a couple of weeks at a, log cabin, la the

highly injurious ingredients should be avoided

face la a fortune. Because Eranola Cream does 
not c<Hitain any of these injurious ingredients 
It Is rapidly becoming a prime favorite with tbe 
profession, from beadllners to ttae chorus. 

Evaiiola' Cream will positively not clog the 
pores of ttae skin, is beneficial rather than In- 
jnrlous ■ to the complexion, will not grow hair, 
and is as white and pure as the driven snow. 
It Is a light, soft cream that runs freely, and 
gives an exceptionally quick and thoroxgh "wash- 
ap." It is delicately and delightfully perfumed, 
imd conseqoently its use is a real pleasure. 

Tbe A. P. Stevens Co. offer in this Issue to 
send a large free sample to any professional on 
request. :Tbe artist wbo once makes tbe ac- 
quaintance of Slvanola wIU be a constant user of 
It bencefbrth. It la not tbe chea|>est cream ad

KINEMACOLOR EXHIBITS FIRST 
VARICOLORED PICTURES. 



NEW DAYLIGHT PICTURE INVEN- 
TION. 



One of the most remarkable revolutions ever 
in protKpect for any business Is the one promised 
for the moving picture business if the claims 
of the Light Motion Pictnre Co. of Honessen. 
Pa., are carried Into ' practice, and from all re- 
ports this company teiilly has established its 
claim — ^viz: To show pictures in a brilliantly 
llcbted theatre or out'loors. The company has 
an ailvertisement in this nnmber of The BlU- 
bonrtl. anil has nlreatly entered into corres- 
pondence with a large number of the leading 
moving picture theatres of the United States. 

Tlie Light Motion Picture Co. are sole owners 
of the Invention of Thomas McWatters, a native 
of Scotland, eoaslstlng of a solid plate-glass 
aim and rear projection. The picture macblne is 
placed back of the Blm. abont 20 feet from the 
film. Til* first theatre to show the system Is 
the Casino, at 3014 Penn Avenue. Pittsburg. 
Pa., where tbe Light Co. have demonstrated 
their ahllltv to furnish tbe goods. While this 
tbeatre was opened largely for demonstrating 
pnmooes. It ban proved a payer from the start 
for the company- The writer recently visited 
this theatre and was surprised at the difference 
In the pictures. Every detail was brongbt out 
as clear as life. Tbe greatest efforts of tbe 
oiierator in the flarfaened theatre would never 
be able to compete 'with, the exhlbltloa by Hjrht 
— natnrni or artlflcinl. In fact, the better tbe 
Ilgtat. the finer the pictures, by this process. 
If this R.vstem comejt into vojnie It will be nec- 
essary for the actor and actress to be slightly 
more carefn] with make-up for the McWatters 
System certainly f'tows np all details. 



New York. June 17 (Special to The Billboard). 
— Under tbe personal snpervlslon of Mr. J. J. 
Murdoch, head of the Klnemacolor Company, tbe 
first of tbe company's Sims finished in natural 
colors was exhibited in their exhibition room in 
New Tork on Tuesday, June 13. Tbe exliibition 
was arranged especially for a number of theat- 
rical men and The Billboard. Several reels were 
run otr, showing Coronation Maneuvers In Eng- 
land, while others displayed flowers of different 
kinds in tlieir owii natmal color. , 

In. the flower fnms the zenith of photographic 
perfection seem to bave been reached. Every 
little shadow of coloring In all the degrees of In- 
tensity as are foimd In the natural flower. Is 
shown in perfect reprodnctlon of tbe reality. 
Some twenty different flowers were shown in full 
bloom, each species beantlfally and artistically 
arranged In a colored vase, wblch was tnmed 
upon its support as the picture was taken. Tbe 
perfection of the photography , ootdld. if sncb 
were possible, tbe beauty of the subjects. Not a 
shade In the coloring was missed, and eacb little 
shadow was distinctly ontlined and stmck the 
eye Just as the real object would sends its col- 
ors to the retina. 

Some of the Coronation Dims were sbown. In 
these the King, the Qneen and the' Prince of 
Wales, together with a great retlnne of soldiery, 
all In colored costatnf^, were made to appear as 
the real people. Althongh these pictures were 
taken on a dark and gloomy day tbe coloring 
is perfectly done, or rather gotten, aj>d tbe 
whole pictnre entirely beautiful. There is no 
overlapping of colors as In tbe ordinary colored 
film, for eacb colored object appears with the 
same effect as the different shades of black and 
white appear Jn the ordinary black and wblje 
film. The Coronation has given ample opportun- 
ity for bringing out the different colors and tbe 
costumes and decorations ate. highly colored. The 
gronnds around Buckingham Palace and tbe pal 
ace Itself, things which do not possess much va- 
riance In color, are reproduced with such Tivld- 
ness as to moke one marvel that . there was so 
mncb color In them. 

Some of the flower pictures have been taken 
in a novel way. They have been placed before 
tbe camera as buds about to open, and steam 
annlied nntil they are brought to full bloom. 
While (his is going on. and it lasts for some 
twenty-four lionrs. the camera Is operated very 
slowly by a machine which causes it to photo- 
graph the object at frequent intervals, and is 
so timed tbat when tbe film of pictures Is run 
through a pn)iecting machine, the picture on the 
arvfOTi will show the flower blooming in abont 
thirty seconds' time. All these oictoree. some 
twentv are shown, are of the colored type, anrl 
the unfolding of the bud Is distinctly shown In 
its ehanglDg colors. 

Too mncb can not be said in . praise of this 
new form of film, and as for tbe subjects, them- 
selves in these new films; tbe fact that, tbe King 
and Qneen. as well as the ZhnperoT of Gennany. 
and other notables, are seen at close range 
thronghont tbe whole coronation ceremony, marks 
them, without any further explanation, as flrst- 
cla-i^s. and th« fact. that, several conies are keot 
bv the English Government . as the official .recorda, 
places them In a class by tbemselTes.

LATEST FIGHT PICTURES. 



The saying. "Everything is fair In love and 
war," seems to have recently taken on an addi- 
tion, namely: "Everj-thlng is fair In business." 

It is well known In film circles tbat tbe con- 
tract for the pictures recently taken of the 2lst 
Annual Rennlon of tbe Confederate Veterans and 
Sons at Uttle Rock. Ark., were bid for by a 
nomher ot manufacturers. However, as has been 
annoimced, the films were taken by tbe. Indus- 
trial Moving Picture Company of Chicago, and 
the finished product baa been prononneod one of 
the best pictures ever-taken. - . No thanks for this, 
however, to one manufacturer, wlio stooped to 
hire some thug to use an unfair and unbusiness- 
like means to siioil the pictures In tbe taking. 
It sounds almost Impossible tbat any one with 
the least sense of Justice should use the means 
employed by tbe perpetrators of tbe underhanded 
scheme which was attempted at Little Rock 
during tbe taking of tbe pictures there ot the 
Reunion. That any one should stoop so low to 
give vent to their feelings of Jealousy is a dis- 
grace to the ' enterprise that shoould be looked 
Intn by all nprlgbt manufactnn>rs. However, 
the Industrial Moving Picture Company's repre- 
sentative showed a Judgment St the critical mo- 
me.it that mnst have pat to shame the Instigat- 
ors Of tbis low plot. 

While tbe camera man of the Industrial peo- 
ple was taking the pictures ot the free acts, he 
noticed that some one was endeavoring to spoil 
that series by casting reflections of light by 
means of a mirror Into bis camera. His first 
impnlse was to have him stopned, but on second 
thonght he knew tbat it would canse a riot. He 
then turned the camera on tbe culorlt. with the 
result that tbe moving picture tells the tale bet- 
ter than words can rtsscrlb-. It shows the man 
at his dastardly work, making every effort pos- 
sible to make the pictures a failure. The sec- 
tion of the film they endeavored to spoil Is con- 
sidered by many to contain some of tbe best 
photography. 

Col. Wm. Lightfoot Visscher. a well-known 
writer and newspaper man, and a veteran Of the 
war- depleted on the film, will be one of the 
Chief lecturers with this moving pictnre. Col. 
James Hntton. also a veteran wbo saw actual 
Bervlce. Is promoting the Htm and looking after 
tbe nnblielty end of It. Col. Hntton's interest 
In fbe film Is wider tban a mere commercial in- 
terest. He bss a certain muntry pride in it 
that stbnnlates him in his efforts. 



The long expected pictures of tbe Langford- 
McVca prize fight, whicai took place Anrll 1. 
1911, at tbe Paris Hippodrome. Paris. France, 
have arrived in America and state rights are 
now being disposed of. The American company 
that is promoting the pictures has secitted one 
of the biggest novelties In figbt pictures tbat 
has ever been shown In tbls country. ■ 

In the boxes were ladles In evening dress and 
thronghont the faonse .were well dressed men and 
women in the bulk ot tbe audience, including 
such American people as W. K. Vanderbilt. 
and Repinald Vannerbilt. Baron .Tamos re Kotbs- 
chfld. tbe Diifce of Roxbnrgbe and many others. 

The fight was one of the most interesting and 
exciting ones ever fought and In artdltioi] was 
also a very clean exhibition. Both Langtord 
and McVea have challenged Johnson for the 
world's championship, and it is still a donbt 
which of the two men is better qnallfied to meet 
the pres«»nt champion. McVea . is much the 
heavier but the pictures show that Langford 
forced the fight dnrlng. tbe entire twenty ronndff. 

The pictures themselves are very fine and 
were taken by the Warwick Co. of London and 
Paris and as the camera was situated wltbla 
a very short distance from the stage, the men 
show up very large and every move Is clearly re- 
prodnced in the pictures. The American Co. 
renresented Mr. P. S. Kgar are selling state 
rights for either 10 best raunda. comprising 
two reels of 2.000 feet or tbe complete battle, 
comprising 4.000 feet of four reels. The facts 
that many ladies witnessed this boot ahonla 
be proof that tbe contest was not a brotal ex- 
hibition, but a clean, scientific battle. 

Arrangements are being made to allow tbe 
Pictures in one ot tbe best theatres in New 
York and after that they will make a tour of 
the coontry.

TEMPTATIONS OF A GREAT CITY. 

In a three-reel production by the Great North- 
ern Co, of Copenhagen, entitled The Tempta- 
tions of a Great City, tbe American rights for 
which have been secured by P. P. Craft, of the 
Buffalo Bill-Pawnee Bill Film Co.. a very mas- 
terful and dellghtftdly unusual film, has been 
brought to this side. The story is purely melo- 
dramatic, laying no claims to any other field, 
but possesses top-notcb merit, not accomplish- 
ing the developments of Its sltoatlons bv hack- 
neyed shooting, poisoning, fire and water, but 
by the Intrinsic merit of the principal charac- 
ters, a usurer and waiter In one, a profligate and 
easily tempted son. his motber and tbe waiter's 
daughter. Only occasionally does any other 
character enter into the action, then these oc- 
casional ones are of a very subordinate and 
unimportant nature, such as a lackey. 

Tbe dramatic possibilities of the film are 
plentiful. The contrast between wealth and 
poverty.' eoclal rank and peasantry, motberly 
love and the overpowering Inflnence of wayward 
temptation fumisblng elements tbat have en- 
rlcbened the story so that one cannot help 
but feel that a masterpiece has been accom- 
plished by the Danish manufacturers. Notice- 
able is the fact that Euroiiean eccentricities and 
mannerisms do Tjot reveal "themselves in this 
film. One would not think tbat tbe Danish 
school of actors had produced a film so thorough- 
I.V American as tbe Temptations of a Great 
City really is. - It bas always been a recognized 
fact that the Great Northern Film Co. has been 
paramount in photography and richness of de- 
tail, but in this Instance they have ontarippert 
themselves, one spectator wbo beheld the ad- 
vance view of this three-reel subject claiming 
tbat it rivaled any nroductlon that any manu- 
facturer put out in his palmiest days. 

The story is very commendable, altbougb as 
before said, melodramatic, being n de-tcriptlon 
of the life of a mother-loved sou who Is over- 
come by tbe temptation of wine, woman and 
song and reduced to poverty. Learning that 
borrowing is an easy wa.v to obtain money, be 
sinks deeper and deeper into debt to a usurer, 
whom he had met as a waiter, a character which 
Is played with the greatest of ability by Its In-, 
terpreter. He sinks so deeply Into complications 
that tbe only avenne of escape to a sane life is 
the marriage of the waiter's danghter, wherein 
comes the struggle of a patrician mother against 
the marriage of her son to a plebeian's danghter. 
Just as matters complicate moet gmesomely the 
sltpqtion in solved and the two are married, tbe 

mother relenting. 

The situations tbronghont tbe piece are very 
stirring. The staging and photography are ss- 
perlative and several stage effects tbat enter 
Into tbe play are exceedingly Ingenious. The 
Interest is kept keenly alive. This Is truly 
one of the best films tbat Is being offered tbe 
public at present by any of .the mannfactnrers. 
Mr. Oraft I« to be congratulated for aeenring 
tbe American rights.

Mncb false Information has hern disseminated 
amongst exblbltors throughout ttie country re- 
garding the Nestor Co.'b Mutt and Jeff pictures, 
which are advertised and spoken of as "talking

that a phonograph and special projecting ma- 
dilne were necessary to display the pletnres. 
which Idea Is false. The talking part of tbe 
films is arranged at tbe factory and the fllras 
can be run on anv ordinary machine.

X&E XKBTTBORSn^ATE SOLSrEB. Patbe. 
Military drama. Length, 1,000 feet. Re- 
leased June 7. 
A Teiy good military picture Is presented In 
this film, one In which patriotism Is not brought 
Into play for effect, the plot luelf being suffi- 
ciently strong to stand alone. The story tells 
bow through cbance a dishonorably discharged 
soldier becomes a bandit and helps hold up Ids 
former lieutenant, who Is rescued by a member 
of that race which never forgets, an Indian, to 
wbom the lieutenant has shown a tiyac. The 
scenes and actlne are splendid and the whole Is 
Tet7 findy photographed. 

A BBOXEir UFE. Patbe. Oroma. Length, 
987 feet. Released June 10. ' 
In Oils film we hare some very fine photog- 
raphy, done all the way through in a uniform 
tint, and some very realistic scenery. The 
monntattt tarem, proprietor and waitress are 
<±armlngly natural, while the eold-washlng 
scenes and those on the desert are likewise verj; 
true to life. Tbe Btoiy la an excellent one 
and a wonderful example of self-sacrifice where 
justice would seem the more likely to be de- 
manded. In the diaractcr of the bold-4ip man 
there Is presented one of the best bandits we 
have seen In motion pictures or anywiiere else, 
while the 'hero, the man who is robbed botli of 
his fortune and the girl he was to marry. Is 
admirably played. A fine story, finely played, 
staged and photographed, are tbe terms wMcb 
most properly describe Ols production. 

HEB BROTHER'S PHOTOGRAPH, ~ Drama. 
Length, 1,000 feet. Released Jnne 13. 
In this story we baxe a plot to which the 
Edison players seem most admirably suited. 
It Is a society play, bat possesses scenes ot scen- 
ic value aad true natnralness and one in which 
the air of flnesse so often displayed by Hn Edison 
company la .entirely In accord wWk the plot and 
setang. The eirents follow each other In a very 
natnral sequence, and while some scenes are 
highly dramatic In sltoation, tiiey are neither 
over nor underdone and an excellent effect is 
obtained. The play Itself, even If poorly played, 
would possess merit, and put on as It is can 
lay claim to nothing bot praise, as we see It, at 
least. : vV;; ■ 

ADVERTISmo FOR iUKA,' Kalem, Drama. 

Length, 1.010 feet. Released June T.. 
Tlie main theme in this story is the canning 
trick or a little girl, which succeeds, with otier 
things. In uniting her parents who bad formerly 
been seoarated .tbrough a quarrel, in au effort 
to build up 'tbe story tbe producers have over- 
^adowcd the Ingenuity of the child, and thus 
the story is not what it could have lieen. It 
la of a popular type, however, and, no doubt, will 
please many people. The acting, scenes and 
photography are all good. 

THE WORLD'S HOST DARIHG DBIVEBS.

Released Jnne 13. 
Tbe scenes depicted are ' those taken at tbe 
automobile meet, beld recently at Indianapolis, 
Ind. Tbe great speed of the cars and the 
pxcpssKe wkltli of the track have hampered 
tbe getting of very clear pictures, but consider- 
ing these advcrno conditions the photography 
is very good. The incidental scenes, such as 
tbe start, finish, etc., are all included, together 
with dose vlttwB of some of the participants. 



The film Is highly interesting and makes a 
pleasing one upon a program of the ordinary 
subjects. 

TEir MIGHTS IH A BARROOK, Selig. Drama. 

Length, 2,000 fe«t. Two reels. Released 

(I) June 12: (2) Jnne 13. 
This Is a very peculiar film in more respects 
than one. Besides being a two-reel subject, it 
'is a very peculiar story and pat on In an extra- 
ordinarily fine way. The story Is long snd In- 
volved and. In fact, -bard to follow. It 
contatna a large number of Just cndlnary events 
and thus more nearly Is suited for fiction than 
motion photography, but tbe acting Is so well 
done that the long-drawn-out scenes read as 
action and are thus Interesting Instead of boring, 
as Is most always the case where the plot 
moves slowly. Although staged In the open 
and In Intense llgbt, the pbotography la good. 
Tbe staging la adequate In evny leqiect. The 
film because ot Its peculiar natuze needs to be 
bandied caretUly In placing It upon a pro- 
gram, bat once Id the right place It comes vetjr 
near being a featote, 

THE TBASPER'8 DAVOHTES. Vttagrapb. 
Drama. Full length. Released Jnne 13. 
The scenes In this photoplay are laid In tbe 
extreme Nortb and, considering the difficulty 
under wblcb the aCtora worked, their acting Is 
very good. The scenes are put on with great 
care and, could the story tiave been a little 
better, a wonderfully well-made production 
would hare been tbe lesalt. As It li, bowever, 
the story lias only a mediocre ending after 
begUmlng a most Interesting plot. 

THE COOS, Lnbln. Comedy. Length, 600 
feet. Released June 12. 
A story offering very few chances for hamor 
Is presented in this film and conseqoently a 
rather mediocre result has been otrtained. It 
Is little more than a joke, in which a anmber 
of girls are dralted into service as cooks, while 
the arrival ot a new cook Is awaited. Tbe 
cowboys receive another jolt when after fussing 
up quite a little for the coming of -the lady they 
discover ahe la a negress. 

ATHLETIC CARHIVAL. Scenic. Length, 400 
feet. Same reel as Tbe Cook- 
Some very Interesting scenes of an athletic 
meet at tlie University ot Fennsylvanla, Phila- 
delphia, Pa., are given in this film, showing 
first the cheering to tbe movement of the 
leader and then the varions events. Including 
a relay race, putting the shot, tbrowlng tbe 
hammer, running broad jump, running high 
jump and pole waiting. The pole vaulting 
views seem to be the most Interesting, Atide 
frooD the fact Hiat the scenes aza : cat , some- 
what tOtaet, Hie film Is zonarfcably Interesting. 

VAK BIBBER'S WX PKBTltBTO. - Edlscm. 
Drama. Length, 1,000 feet. Released 
June IG. 

Tbe story presented In this film Is absolutely 
without newness In any way, shape or form, but 
tJie remarkable maimer In which It is put to- 
gether, scene by scene, and the great merit of 
the acting: make the film an exceptionally high- 
class one from .all points of view. The experi- 
ment is that of treating a released convict 
with all- the cooSdence In his integrity, as one 
would treat an old acquaintance, and thereby 
reforming him. The scenes wblcb lead up to 
tbe ■ experiment Increase the vitality of the 
interest - In - tbe characters to such an extent 
that when the experiment, is tried the -audience 
seems to know the people, and herein lies the 
success ot tbe film. This kind of production 
Is a new kind, and the fact that the story Is 
of a familiar color, only Increase* the interest 
attached to It, a« an^d situation brought to 
one's door is a more Interesting situation than 
a new one brought to the same place. 

FORGIVEKESS nr DEATH, Essanay. West- 
ern drama. Length. 1,000 feet. Released 
June 10. " 
This is a rather peculiar story and when tbe 
film is ended leaves one very much in doubt as 
to what the situation is or what the story 
Intended to portray. It is new, if that . fact 
will add to the praise of tbe film. One man is 
betraying the other, Tlie betrayed one Is shot 
and tbe other confesses the betraying. He is 
then shot dorlng tbe same Indian fight, and 
before death comes to either, they clasp "bands, 
tbe one who lias been played false evidently for- 
giving tbe other, while the latter seems to 
be thanking him for ills pardon. With hands 
clasped botb men die. There is ao conrasie, 
true-heartedness, valor or anytUng praiseworthy

THE HERIOT'S GOLD. American. Western 
drama. Length, 990 feet. Released June 
22. 

In this film a very peculiar story is presented 
and one which would ordinarily be set in the 
East The story is of . a girl who would marry 
tm money, but after CBaung much trouble for 
her two rival suitoxs and obtaining . the money 
by other means, refuses to marry at alL Some 
ot t&fr scenes are very disagreeable, both be- 
cause tliey are nattmally so and because they 
are overdrawn. A hermit Is never an agree- 
able person to look upon and If the aim of the 
producers was to make their hermit and his 
surroundings disagreeable, they ibave succeeded. 
Tbe story la evidently Intended to portray a 
moral,' and that a girl who loves money is not 
tbe one to court. The opportunity for bring- 
ing this out is ample, but In some way or other 
tbe opportonlty is missed.

finally, wlien caught. Is not apprehended. In 
a play like this a large number of near exposals 
are needed to bold tbe Interest,, with a thick

This does not occur here, but the acting, insofar 
as Uiere is opportunity for the same. Is well

Nctv York loses nnd Wushlngton gains in a 
certain matter ot aviation. In the former place, 
at Minneola. the aviators who have tieen prac- 
ticing there have been notified that the fleld has 
been leased by 'the Molsant Aviation School 
and that they must secure other quarters, aurt It 
is reported that tbe former occupants of Min- 
neola field have decided to come to Washington. 

While tbe report does not hear the oOlclal sea] 
of approval, yet It Is generally accepted as 
true. Capt. T. S. Baldwin, tfe rormcr dirigible 
expert, has alread.v moved lils quarters to College 
Park, contlgtious to the'natlonal capital, anil has 
rented on:' of the new lian-.rars there. Capt. 
Baldwin sold the onl,v dlrlKlblo balloon to the 
Government. He says he will have his new ma- 
chine here within a few days. Messrs. Mars 
and Shriver. formerly with Curtlss. are now with 
Baldwin as aviators, but as they will he on the 
road the greater part of the time as exhibitors. 
Washington will 'not have much opportunity of 
seeing them this summer. 

The n!>w Baldwin machine is of the (^ttls.<s 
type- The latest has In its construction a frame 
built of thif steel tubing filled with hickory, 
making it very light and strong. It Is covered 
with red fabric and will pressent a most striking 
appearance. Captain Baldwin litts made s-v- 
eral long flights in his new machine and It ha? 
shown itself to be both fast and reliable. 

The Rex Smith Company Is bnildlns a factor.v 
at College Park and the structure Is now com- 
pleted, the company being at pr-sent en.5«g«I 
in Installing the machinery, including a fifteen 
horsepower i^asollne engine. time will be 

lost in starting on orders .that are already In. 
Tbe Government will have four machines bnllt 
as rapidly as possible. Some of the army offl- 
cers detailed to the flying sqnad will be on hand 
to practice as soon as the Urst mnchin" I.« com-

turned to New York after having tieen out on aa 
Inspection and business trip, comprising St. 
Louis. San Antonio, Dallas, El Paso, San Fran- 
cisco, . Portland. Seattle, Denver and Kansas

of the United Stated 'Army, proposes to come to 
Detroit, Mich., for tbe International aviation 
meet to be held June 29 to July 4 on the state

that two flyers are furnished with each machlne,- 
and to make tbe flights more sensational, both 
flyers can be sent op at the same time, making a 
competitive race, to see whlcAi will go tbe high-

Blver View Park Is enjoying greater popular- 
ity and the good will of the public to a better 
advantace this season than at any period of Its

this pleasant resort appeals to their fancy and 
it bas become a fixture In their mental desire 
for pleasure and comfort in the evemng after 
enduing the scorching heat of the son's rays

for complaint. Captain La Belle, with Us col- 
lection of mammies and relics bas an attraction 
tliat la the most interesting on tbe grounds and

scientists and medical men. His flve-ln-one 
Show Is amazing for Its bnman Interest. His

White City, on the shores of Lake Qulnslga- 
mond. Is now going foil blast, and every indi- 
cation suggests a banner season for this resort. 
A clean sweep of aU the old attaches has been 
made, aud the park is now under the super- 
vision of George Gallagher, known through 
Worcester County as Oal the Musician. Man- 
ager GalXaglier has contracted a number of new 
shows, and with the publicity department 
handled by Bobert B. Clark, tbe old Baisum & 
Bailey agent, the resort is drawing unusual 
crowds for June. One ot the big Improvements 
is the addition of a shell for the orchestra In 
the dance hall, which, with its novel array ot 
electric effects, is making a big bit. Mr. Clark 
has imbued himself into the confidence ot the 
Worcester editors and his gossip bordera on 
"real press stuff."

City, will not be in fuU swing nntii June 19,

ment to adopt vaudeville for the <ksiiio.

companies now running at the Worcester Theatre 
and Poll's ^Hieatre. respectively, with excellent 
patronage. The Worcester Theatre stock com- 
pany doesn't expect to run the entire summer,

plays, and after a poor start in the way of 
worthy patronage, the company is now attracting 
big andlences. Poll's stock company bas a 
ni(^tly tnmaway, and Manager J. C. Criddle 
Is giving bis patrons the greatest array of shows 
ever presented in this city by any stock cou- 
pany.

penter at the White City Casino. 

The familiar face of George Goette, manager 
of Tbe Kewlrweds and Their Baby, wUl be 
missed on -the shores of I,ake Qnlnslgauiond 
tills summer. Mr. Goette quietly stole into 
Worcester a tew weeks ago and in a character- 
istic manner auctioned off his summer cottage 
at Lake Qulnsigamond. It is bis intention to 
remain in NewSork this summer, and this brings

Mr. CKiette carries away with him the best 
wishes of his many Worcester frioids.

ter Theatre for a number of years as asslatant 
to the rcKular manager, Mr. Bnrke. Is now

MEMPHIS, TENN. 



The summer park season ia In fuU swing and 
the attendance has been tbe largest on record so 
early in the season, owing to tlie nnnsualiy 
warm weatber and tbe fact tbat there baa not 
been a single rain, or even a ahower, since the 
park aeason opened on May 14. 

East End Park has been enlarged and seveial 
new buildings add to its sttractlveneas. The 
new dancing pavilion, known as the chrysanthe- 
mum ballroom Is proving an attractive feature, 
with its flfteeo-plece orchestra. The tlieatie 
la playing to capacity every night, giving six 
good acta from tbe Oipbeom Booking Offices and 
aU tbe concessions are making money. Manager 
A. B. Uotrtson ptomlses lennl large oatdoor 
free attractions later In the season. Last 
week Treat's Trained Seala were featured out- 
doors. The bill now running is beaded by the 
weU-known Zaretsky Troupe of Bnaalan Dancers, 
and includes Bob Ashley and AL Lee. Patrick 
Francisko. Russell and Devinne, Ed. Clark and 
Joe Verdle and Elsie Mnrrell. Last -neek the 
big hit was made by the Eight Berlin Madcaps. 

Tbe new Frits Bom Lake Park at Lakevlew. 
Miss., was opened on tbe same date aa East End 
Park, but after three weeks' trial, was eloaed 
tor tbe season except aa a resort for dancing 
parties and picnics, aitboogb it Is said it may 
be reopened nnder new maoacement later. The 
trouble waa that the distanoe ot 11 miles from 
the dty. with Inadeqnate Intemihan 'service, 
was too great a handicap. 

With East End Park. HmphV popolar white 
city so firmly established, and the added com- 
petition of the twdve free dty parks, with 
dally free band concerts, Horn Lake Will have 
to offer more than ordinary Indncements to at- 
tract crowds of snlBcient slae to bring in pay- 
ing returns. Tbe park will be nm for the - 
present as a Sunday outing resort, offering re- 
freshments, boating and bathing. 

Tbe burning of the historic old Bljon Theatre 
may posaibly change the theatrical plana for 
Memphis next season. The theatre waa com- 

Sletely burned to tbe ground on tbe morning of 
nne 6. Tbe Wrils-Sulaback Interests had a 
three-year leaae on it and had Intended putting 
In vandeviUe next season. Manager B. H. 
Stalnback had closed a lease ronnlng nearly nine 
years for the old Jefferson Theatre, mdy a 
month or two ago. Thia has been renamed the 
Lyric, aud tbe Wella BlJon attractions are 
booked there for next year. The owners of tha 
Btjon property have not decided whether, la 
rebuilding the burned block, a theatre will be 
included or not. Tbe theatre Itadf was valued 
at about 150,000. TtSe property la considered 
too valuable to remain Idle long. The Well* 
BIJou Co. had Inanrance tor tlO.OOO on their 
scenery and llttlacs, which abooC half covered 
tbe loss, 

John L. Sullivan was the last notable per- 
former to face an audience In the BIJou. havtog 
closed a Tandevliie engagement there tbe week 
before tbe fire. 

Tbe motion picture houses In Memphis are do- 
ing a wonderful business this summer. In spite 
of tbe intensely hot weatber. all of them are 
filled nightly and play to cood bosinaas through 
tbe- afternoons. 

Brunswig Brothers have been making a dis- 
tinct hit with the andlences at tbe three Ma- 
jestic Theatres tor tbe past month, alternating 
between the three houses weekly. 

Barry O. Nichols baa recently been appointed 
maniger ot the Majestic No. 8 and bai since 
done mixh to popularise tbat hoaie. He has 
remodeled the entrance, put In drinking foun- 
talni and mlrrDts and brighteaed tbe entlte 
bouse. Mr. Nichols Is a akTlled musical direc- 
tor and at present Is pisying the large pipe 
organ In addition to his other dntlea.

as the attraction. During the summer a series 
of pictures will be given at this house. 

As yet Denver has no Hue on any of the big 
circus attractions. We are advised that SeUs- 
Floto Circus, wblcb has made Denver Its winter 
headquarters for a good many years and always 
shown bere, will not pitch their tents here this 
season. 

The stock players at Ellfch Gardens. Lake- 
side, and Maude Fealey'a Company at tbe Or- 
phenm. are taking advantage of the baseball 
games at Broadway Park. Some of the actora 
are dyed-ln-the--wooi fans. - . 

We have t>««n haviog some very -warm -weather 
lately, and -the bathing beach at Luna Park bas 
been very . well patroiUaed. . This beach Is a 
pretty one and Denver Is proud of It. as it U 
the only opeuair beach near here.

Yankee Robinson Show Train is in Wreck and One Coach 
is Entirely Demolished — California Frank Active in 
n'osecuting Indian Thieves — Other Ring News 



YANKEE RQBrNSON'S IN WRECK. 



The YuQkee Robtnaon Sbow train suffered a 
WTecW at Merrlland Junctfoa. Wis., on tbe 
Nortbirestem Raflroad on Friday moraine. June 
9. wbile BoaJtSng the mn from Moadovi to Ncils- 

ville. The circus train was ba(.*klng iu on a 
siding to clear for a passenger train about 
o'clock In the morning, and came Into collision 
•with a heavily loaded frelKbt train. One of tlie 
circus alcepers^ occupied by the band boys an<l 
otIier& of the <fampany. was completely demol- 
Ished In the crash* another was badly smashwl. 
and sttll another had the platform!* broken off. 
No one waa fatally hnrt. but a few were jammed 
up. A fearful mortality was -escaped by. the 
Srst sleeper in the train- skidding up on to the 
flat car next to- it which, broke .the shock and 
8aTeiI the others from telescoplne. The floor of 
the Inpersoll was literally torn out and the peo- 
ple in it fell tbrcHieh to the trucks. The North- 
western sent on tourist sleepers for tife until 
the cars can be replaced. A few wagons were 
damaged., but do stock noc animals were kitletl. 



AGENT AND BILLPOSTER CLASH. 



31is50nla. Mont,. June 15 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — On account of the exorbitant JA11 
rate, the Sells-FIoto Shows placed their Wll- 
postinjc contract at Missoula. Mont., with the 
Harnols Theatre, the opposition plant. - B. H. 
Oarver* the Association man, serionsly Interfered 
with: William M- Boddy, the contractor* in his 
work 

Mr- Roddy had an occasion to address the 
city council.: askinr for a reduction In tlie li- 
censes, and the motion was being put to a vote, 
when <3arTer Juotped to bis fe«t and harangned 
the council with -frarious statements to the effect 
that the show advertised twenty-five cents and 
did not live up to It; that they indiscriminately 
scattered hills over the streets: packed a lot 
of banners up In town, for which no one re- 
celTe<l any revenue, and that he objected to the 
council granting a rednctlon. 

Mr;. Garvpr Is not a member of the council, nor 
does he- hold any -city position. 

We quote In part from a recent Issne of the 
Missnalian: 

"W.; M. Roddy, advance man for tlie Sells- 
Flo to Clrcns. asked the conncll for a reduction 
in license, as be claimed $100 per day was 
entirely too much for a show the size of his, 
. wblch; only charged twenty-five .cents ; admission. 
Billnoster Garver interropted and said that he 
didn.*t.vthlnk the. conncil should rednce the li- 
cense, ns the show company Is only putting out 
iiOO Mils, and «iobody yeast getting anything out 
of It. The matter-was referred to- the city prop- 
erty committee, with full power to act. Mr. Rod- 
dy asked for aT Traction ot one-half." 



ARREST OF INDIAN THIEVES. 



It Is a known fact that the cost of securing 
and taking care of genuine Sioux Indians for 
show purposes is very large, as it Is necessary 
to send a man to South Dakota and pay a con- 
pie of weeks' expenses there, pay for all cloth- 
Ins leqolred by the Indians,, all railroad fares 
to place : of >opetdng show, as wen as the ex- 
penses of secnrihglHmds to. the Government, etc. 
This amounts to two or three hundred dollars per 
Indian. 

Some of the smaller shows and men employed 
by th^m around the country wait until the large 
ami more responsible show have secnretl these 
Indians: they then steal them and nse them for 
the season and then turn them . loose, as they are. 
under no, . oUigatkms: .- to return, them to the 
agency. Snch a scheme was concocted and par- 
tially carried out by partfea at Hillside and 
Electrie partes, Newark, who attempted to steal 
iHnne^ Indians f^Tom the California Frank Wild 
West at Montclair. N. J., resulting in the ar- 
rest of Alfred Standing Bear. Thomas Grass 
and Jotm Monlnga for conspiracy and an attempt 
at disorganization. These men are now In lall 
at Montclair. and are held over for the Septem- 
ber torm- of the grand 5nry. Warrants are out 
for others . interested. iMWjettt have been se-

Leo Hart is the - only member of No. 10 to 
poll in so far this season. Hart says he will 
always be with the Bamnm ^ow. 

A' few days after -the tack-spltters arrlvefl. 
Car No. 1 came In with twenty-silx warriors of 
the brash, and aft-r a few. lively hours were 
spent at Billposters' Headquarters. Tom Connors 
was called npon to speak, wblcb be did real 
■well, and believe it or not. this is Mr. Connor's 
twenty-fourth year as a trouper and a memliet 
of Local Xo. 4. PhUadelnbla. W. D. Winn 
■will perhaps some day catch up to Mr. Conner.s. 
as this is Mr. 'Winn's twenty-second year on the

.Is not beini; able- to stay longer.

SELLS-FLOTO WANTS 

FOR SEASON 1912 

Write NOW, or ANY TIME Till November 1 

TTHE BIGGEST and BEST that money can buy, 
in novelty, in size, in sensation— an act— or acts 
—groups or troupes— a single act— or display. If any 
reader, whether you have been with a circus or not, has a 
suggestion to offer, the same will be appreciated and will be 
paid for, if accepted The idea of this early 1912 announce- 
ment is because Sells-Floto success prompts its owners to now 
begin building for next season the greatest and largest circus 
performance, outdoing any now traveling, and the admission 
price will remain 25 cents. Sells-Floto has the reputation of 
being the care-free circus, coming east in August from the 
Golden West— although warned by the opposition never to set 
foot east of the Missouri river. Three trains double length 
cars— 600 people— 450 horses and animzds— mile long parade 
—takes 15 acres to spread our tents— seats for 10,000 people 
—admission 25 cents— no more. No expert has been able to 
figure how for 25 cents admission a profit can be made, as the 
daily expense is $3200. The sufficient answer is we have 
plenty of money and are not stingy.

Roller skating is becoming a popular amuse- 
ment in Ronmanla. Early in the winter a xoller- 
skating dub was organiz?d under the patronage 
■of the CVown Prince and Princess, and by spring 
- Its membership had become so large that It was 
found necessary to build a fairly large outdoor 
rink. This rink, while reserved to tile club 
members during the daytime, has been thrown 
open to the public for the evenings, and the 
amusement hi becoming very- popular. A. few 
American skates are used^ hut the larger part 
are of German;, br^ French-: mamtfhctnre. costing

Mrs. Fiske, the call-boy came., to the amiable

"Come In. Come In," said Mr: Mnrphy.

half opening the door. 

"Oh, that's an right," pressed the comedian. 
"Come in and tell me all abont yourself. Do

,T«C SELECTION OF ATTRACTIONS 

(Conthmed from page S,) . 

'■' "Xlie cbaracter of the attracUoiu to be select- 
W opens a wide Held for dlacoBBlon and 1b igalii 
4 matter oC bwal condltloiis and peiaonal opia- 
Ion. Tim advent or flie small vanderille boose 
and moTlne pletore tbeatiB In tbe smaller towns 
'has oompifeatea affalrSb ' If «ttraetl<aw-aie to 
be offered ther mnst ' be different to be worth 
wbat tbe «oet. In. a measiire special attrac- 
tlons are adTettlsliw Tor the next year's sbow. 
; "Generally speaking tbe pnbUc la atroag for 
sensation: It wants an opportunity to see some- 
one set killed tm fifty cents. A lyncblng bee 
propeilT- adTertised would pay off the atandlni; 
debt of tte most tankmpt aaeoclatlon in the 
4uiuilzj. A sezloas fair <manager. however, does 
itot can too mnch for sensation, bat prefers to 
taUsfjr tila patrons If possible wltb the safe 
and aiiie. With the paasinic of the dirigible 
ballooa and Dan Patcb. the aeroplane comes to 
the front as a beadllner that will carry a lot 
of leaser Ustato to prominence. One stellar at- 
trictlon ol this sort makes tbe selection of the 
bslancs ot the attractiona comparatlTely easy. 

"To beeone personal. I have need Indians and 
cawb<V riders with sneceas for several years 
■Bd tae wnd west stage ooacb hold-ap on the 
tiaefc at -night, with a dating cowboy rescne 
and the killing off of all tlie In<Iiana, never 
falls to 'get 'em.' The balloon and tbe para- 
cbnte gag baa been passed np for two years 
and nobody aeema to miss it. Comedy acts re- 
oslring considerable in the way ot 'set-np* 
and animal acta I find very popolar. Straight 
aoobatic acts do not seem to take as well as 
formerly on accoont of tbe fact that the little 
vandeville iMaaeo lULve nrade tlient more com* 
mon. CAUd.acts and family acts are popniar, 
Tbe average fair crowd aeems Iceen fi^ a Uttle 
'beef,' and a female act In tights seems nec- 
essary. Many classy high grade acts fall to 
'land' when playlag out-of-doors. They are 
often Interfered with by . the wind - and . since 
liiey do not liold the center aa strong as w4ien 
iiBide. tbrlr Oner points often pass nnnotlced. 
E have noticed, too, that tbe so-called senaa- 
tionat act often tells to make even a ripple. 

"It Is oar policy to get the best Une of paid 
•ttractlona possible. I prefer to do boslnees 
with an establlsbed ootllt carrylng^veral. shows, 
making one contract for all the paid attractlona, 
«■ a single elanse in tbe contract to ttie effect 
that any show not satisfactory to the fair 
UanagemeDt moat be closed on its order, settles 
•a dlfflenUy as to character of shows. I tblnk 
there Is no doubt In the minds of tbe ma]orlty 
of fair managets tlmt the qnestionablf Bbow 
Is not worth while, A few curbstone boosters 
(day like them. Your cnrbstoner, bowever, gen- 
erally beats bis way In one manner or anotber, 
and. tbongh lie taliu loud and long, is a poor 
lodge to go by. The amraal visitor who comes 
with the 'dongb' and spends it for everything 
he sees «r gats, may not talk so loud, hot he la 
tts man to please. 

I "I am nslng free and paid apsslal attractions 
hecanse 1 believe tbey pay and becsase they 
sattefy a demand on the part of onr patrons. 
3]toy are a distinct aid In tbe matter ot ad- 
vertising. X lielleve 1 am naing as mncb as is 
lecitlmate tnd necessary and wonld rather be 
•.little ■hoct than too heavy, particniarly when 
iMfclnjr for state and ooanty appioprlatlons. A 
lair aasodatian sboold not lose sight of Its 
seclooa pnrpose and real work. So .long as It 
seems to be advisable and ptoStaUe to ose 
■pedal Show acta and attractions to advertise 
azhibltlons and attract patronage, the average 
fair oahagement will qwnd time, energy and 
■MDfT In piDTidliix them."

Madame Solitaire 



WORLD'S 

Champion Qf Womanhood 

AT LIBERTY 1911-12 

The nnderslgned will receive propositions for Madame Solitaire— som de plome. She 
la olgoly esteemed as the most unique character of the age. and the nncballenged World's 
Ctaamplou of Womanhood, a ScandioaTlan-Amerlcan beauty, of large executive ability, 
widely knowa and greatly beloved for many reasons, with choice and extensive acquaintance 
of many of the most illustrious men and women In their respective fields of usefulness. 

Madame Solitaire is truly an advanced thinker, noted as an editor, publisher, lecturer, 
extensive traveler In many lands, founder of museums, and an assembly for aged people, 
founder of the movement to boulevard and extend the historic national road as an auto, 
serial, urban, ocean to ocean highway. 

As exhibitor of her own varied industries, Madame Solitaire was successful In securing 
the greatest number of premiums ever awarded to one penon, and her large list of first, 
second, sweepstake and special premlnms, and her display of original entry cards and 
priae rlbbims, add large Interest to any fair, exposition or museum secorlng Madame 
Solitaire as a apeclal attractloa. for'^her industry and skill has forever advanced the 
dignity of labor by her achievements. 

Madame Solitaire's literacy productlona are being compiled to appear In a aerlea of 
Sight volumes, subjects. ']^cliH]TnK;g(«!^ and poetry, on religious, moral, civic and social 
ethics, also pliilanthropy,' mSrthmBgW' romance, humor, pathos, humane, bird, animal and 
nature studies, while her songs, published in various forms. Include patriotic, lyric, senti- 
mental, sacred and school numbers, some of which have orchestra and band accompaniments, 
rtae entire program for Madame Solitaire's literary entertainments are selected from her 
writings, . Including songs, poems, recitations, select readings, etc. 

Many honors have been accorded this world's wonder of womankind, and repeated 
encores have lengthened her platform work, where she bas been presented by speclsl com- 
mittees with flaga, flowers and compllmentaty documents. While on lectiuing tours, 
Madame Solitaire bas been met by large receptloa conualtteea, headed by braas band at 
depots, 

Receptions In honor of Madame Solitaire have been held in various countries. Her 
portrait was unveiled in the presence of a large European assembly, while her introduction 
to European royalty in the land of tbe Midnight Sun, by a Governor of State, was highly 
complimentary, as was also tbe high force of her sex and co-operatloa. of -Cor^ga and 
American diplomats. 

That Madame Solitaire's superiority gives her the right of title of the Wodd'a Champion 
it Womanhood Is not questioned, since tbe twenty-five thousand dollars reward traa offered 
(by her adult biographer to prove eight of title) to any woman of any country, whose 
experiences and honors were not contested, and remains unchallenged, aa no culm was 
set up,' either before or after the offer was withdrawn at the close of the year. 

Madame Sidltalre's early experiences on Western wilds, as a lone shepherdess and 
mounted cattle herder, were full of adventure and heroism, and the youthful struggles of 
this self made woman, wherein she forged ~ ahead of environments, lends pathos, which 
appeals to the reason and sympathy of all great minds, and entitles botti her juvenile and 
adult biograjAles to a place in every library and corner-stone of the world, while the 
example of tills master-mind of genius must forever Inspire patience, energy, perseverance. 
Industry and integrity in others, for should Madame Solitaire live a thousand years, the 
multitudes of earth would still be eager to see and hear her, and It Is predicted by con- 
servative people that this first introduction of Madame Solitaire to the entertainment 
world through The BlUboard, will Insure her a cordial greetlag from its aiilUons of 
readers. 

Former equipment Included tents, pictures, sideshows, museum of curios. Including 
historic, Indian, war, and other relics, banners, flaga, musical Inatrammts, riding la state 
at head of cl^ parade, lecture outfit, costumes, etc. New features added for sesson of 
1911-12 equestrienne, psgeant end theatrical arpeatances, populat church, college and 
theatre lecture, entitled, "Solitaire's Medley," pantomimes ana art designs, by Madame 
Solitaire, Including character charts, pictures, post card, aong and poem filnstrations, and
