THE ORIGIN OF FAIRS 



A Retrospective Discussion of the Probable Location of the First Fair— Growth, Development and 
Present Status of an Institution Now Especially Popular in America 



Back yonder In the year 1110 the first fair 
In flie history of the -world was held 111 a 
bis field near the city of Paris. It was author- 
ized »)• decree of King Louis le Gros. and un- 
les<. div research has led me far astray, this 
gh v was the mother, the Eve, back to which 
th. ea-esent-day street fair may trace its origin. 

Ttfe story is worth reading — even, worth a 
little study— and fair men ought to celebrate 
tbe memory of good old King Louis VI (called 
le Gros because of his BUe) now and then and 
make him their patron saint, though saint 
b» was not. 

King Louis le Gros came upon the throne 
about 1108 or thereabouts, and taxes were high 
then, as now, in France. He Instituted a num- 
ber of novelties during his reign, but among 
the very first was the "Folre de St. Laurent" 
(The Market of St. Laurent), the first of which 
be authorized by decree In 1110. -This "folre" 
was a place where anyone who chose could carry 
things to sell and not have to pay a license for 
tbe privilege. According to the decree it was 
to be held once a year and was not to extend 
over one day. The place where it was held was 
a large meadow near the city. This "meadow" 
I might remark, is now divided by the grand 
boulevards of Paris, perhaps the most renowned 
streets In the world. And the very site of 
theg'anclent "folre" of St. Laurent is now oc- 
riipYea by the Porte-Saint-Martin Theatre, the 
Renaissance Theatre, etc., and is, comparative- 
ly*, "speaking, in tbe very heart of Parte. 

To "begin with; this . ■"folre" ■ or market was 
the liobr man's institution. Naturally, the things 
sold there had no great value, and likewise nat- 
urejjffithe articles were almost exclusively of 
tl-y'Jsrtehen, pantry and cellar. Vegetables 
vtTfJfnot sold at all, or very little, but smoked 
bit*; hams. wine, etc., In great quantities 
changed bands. Knives, small articles of fur- 
niture, like chairs, tables and the like, also 
were sold. 

411 this does not sound much like a fair it 
Isffrue. But what was more natural on these 
5av^-— .when people from miles and miles about 
V*aare .'-gathered to exchange articles or to buy 
Ahat the little merchants had to offer — than 
timt wandering entertainers should be pres* nt 
also? And that Is just what they did do. They 
took advantage of the enormous crowd, per- 
forming their little stunts before them and 
passing the hat for the sons. At one of these 
markets they -could make more In one day 
ttijtn elsewhere in a month. This meant that 
every "performer** near enough to make the 
distance was always on hand. ■: 

At first these "attractions" and the "foire" 
were absolutely independent, one from the 
other. This state of things didn't last Ions, 
however. One of the merchants noticed that 
greater crowds gathered about the tumblers, 
the contortionists, the balancers, the dancers, 
sword swallowers. etc.. than about the arti- 
cles for sale, so he got the hunch that It 
wouldn't be a bad Idea to secure the services 
of a juggler Tind. after the fellow had per- 
formed, the merchant would sell his second- 
hand ..junk to those gathered about. Follow- 
ing up the scheme the merchant sold more 
st nf& a than half a dozen of his companions put 
tog.;?er. : ■ 

»8gn gold was discovered In California the 
man tvho made the discovery became Immense- 
ly wealthy. Then hundreds and hundreds of 
other- men rushed to the scene and began 
scratching in the dirt, too. It was the same 
thing in Alaska. When a man makes a suc- 
cess Jfi business there Is a similar rush to 
'mlta*? his methods. The Billboard has Its 
imitr.ors. Human nature is the same the 
world over and 'has always been fundamentally 
the same as it is today. The chan who bired 
the juggler at the "folre" back In the days 
of L mls le Gros. saw at the, very next market 
day a dozen Imitators. "■'■'-'' '•' i 

So the "folre" gradually began to change Its 
JPcm. It grew more and more popular as the 
the merchants introduced more and more at- 
tractions. After a time an enterprising mer- 
chant left off selling goods altogether and took 
IZ ""'b't'Dir people who bad something to do 
that Interested spectators and things that were 
Interesting in themselves, as sights. 

In (he year 1600 this "foire" was still flour- 
ishing. Not' only was It flourishing, but it 
and grown from one day n year to one month 
'year. About this time even oil paintings 
were exhibited and sold, and the . market (it 
»n» Will caUed by that name In suite of the 
enange In Its character) wis a mighty popn- 
isr iplncc. sideshows were s to be seen on all 
Mites and the seventeenth century Barnnms 
Were busy taking in the coin. 

And don't forget, fellow Americans, the "Ros- 
™\ w l»> "cat-em-ollve." the "Missing Links"

»„' '""''nlng and pickpockets were at that 
•mite bold— also quite frcaacnt— and 



clashes between them and tbe police were 
a familiar sight. 

The first fair was such a success that 
others sprang up rapidly in different parts of 
the country. The -Folre de Saint Germain 
for Instance, began about tbe year 1300. It 
was patterned after the one I have described 
at some length, as were the many others whose 
histories were just the same as that I've 
set down bere. 

Today the street fair in France Is called 
a "Fete," the name "folre" having been 
dropped save In a few instances. And in 



typical of our American fairs of the best class, 
though naturally there are not the excellent 
"free attractions," or outside shows, such as 
we have, for the obvious reason that Paris Is 
such a large city that there Is, in the first 

Jdace, no great need for the outside shows, and 
n the second, there would be no room for 
tbem if the need existed. 

It is almost startling to hear that, counting 
the various 'slightly varying species of fairs 
held annually in Paris alone, there are thirty- 
three of them of sufficient Importance to be of- 
ficially listed as "fetes foralnes." The days of 



A. P. SANDLES, 




Secretary Ohio State Fair, Columbus, Ohio. 



these exceptions to the rule, the name is 
guarded for a good reason. It Is when the 
character of ancient marketing-day Is re- 
tained, and the selling of articles predominates 
over the attractions. However we speak of the 
gingerbread fair, the ham fair and tbe old 
Iron fair, which are quite distinctly trace- 
able back to the -Foire de Saint Laurent of 
Louis le Gros* day. The gingerbread fair 
Is held In "Neiil'ly, a suburb of Paris — really 
part of the city — and along the entire length 
of the Avenue de Ncullly, about two miles long, 
are to be seen mostly gingerbread booths and 
sideshows and refreshment stands. The gin- 
gerbread Is usually cut In tbe shape of pigs 
and the purchaser stands by and sees bis or her 
name written out on the pig in white sugar 
or Icing, squcesed through a paper horn. 

Sometimes the fairs are called by tbe name 
"Fete Foraine" (Foreign Fair), because those 
who compose It make it tbelr business to fol- 
low the fair from place to place and thus earn 
their living. The "Fete de Montmartre" Is 
a street fair of this sort, only augmented by 
Paris showmen, roulette-wheel operators, etc., 
who never leave the city. This same show, 
however, shows in tho various parts of Paris 
for about six months ont of the year. It Is 



golden carriages are past, but now the "com- 
mon people" have more -money to spend and the 
thirty-three fairs are quite prosperous. 

Among the most popular fairs are those 
which take place in Montmartre, Place de la 
Republique. Les Invalldes and Neullly. They 
are all alike, just as street fairs In America 

are alike. . -For instance, we might cite the 
"Fete de Montmartre." What are known as the 
"boulevards of tbe exterior" (to distinguish 
the circle of boulevards which run all around 
Paris from the "grand boulevards" which run 
through the center of the city). .for a distance 
of about two miles, are given. over to the fair 
twice a year. The boulevards are extremely 
wide and In the center is a spacious parkway, 
with an asphalted walk running along the 
middle of that. The stands and shows are 
put up in this shaded parkway facing each other, 
with the asphalted passage running between. 
As a matter of fact, most of the stands have a 
donble face and give upon the walk and noon 
the street also. 

There are many varieties of merry -go-roande, 
toboggan slides, freaks, shooting galleries, cane- 
racks, knlte-racka. Oriental dancers, "cabarets." 
and so on. Roulette, wheels; where one and 
two cents are played against oranges, candy and 



other prizes, which extend to canary birds in 
cages and gold fishes in tanks, are as thick 
as hair on - a dog's tail and are exceedingly 
well patronized. Another popular rack- game 
is where rows of cocoanuts are placed along Id 
racks and wooden balls abont the size .of a 
baseball are sold to tbe player, six for 50- 
centimes (10 cents). If jon knock a cocoanut 
out of Its socket, you get the rncoaimt. ttascball 
Is un k nown, in France and. perhaps as a result ■ 
of this a Frenchman throws a . ball just as*, a 
woman throws — with a sort of over-band tossing 
motion. Although the cocoanut racks are so 
close to the thrower that it, looks to an Ameri- 
can that he might knock a nnt out i with his 
hand, tbe Frenchman, more seldom than not. 
fails to get even a hit. let alone a cocoanut 
with bis six balls. As a matter of fact, a 
cocoanut costs about 10 cents here and it may 
be seen that if there should be an average of 
one cocoanut to six balls the rack man would lose 
money. 

Woe unto the cocoanut rackman .when an. 
American happens along! I was considerably 
amused when visiting the Invalldes Fair, which-/* 
is just now drawing to a close. A long, lean, 
lank American, after watching the womanish 
tossing of tbe Frenchmen gathered about one 
of tbese racks, bought thirteen wooden balls 
for a franc (20 cents). Like a baseball pitcher 
limbering np. he swung bis arm around iu'a 
circle a few times, clearing a space abont him . 
(A Frenchman throws with people touching his 
elbows on both sides.) A laugh went up. Tbe 
American with his arm swing which necessitated 
a ten-foot circle was a sight to the natives. 
The rackman put on en indulgent look and 
stood aside for tbe battle to commence. -Amer- 
ican have lots of money, he probably was 
thinking, and here was where be would clean up 
good. The American would probably toss balls 
In this crazv way for an hour without bitting 
anything. How could he hit a cocoanut when 
he showed plainly enough that he wasn't even 
going to take sight? The lanky American 
doubled up like a baseball champ on tbe big 
league teams, then unwound like a watch 
spring, suddenly released. Bing! 

A cocoanut exploded Into small pieces, the 
milk flying In all directions. ' Whe-e-e-e-e! Tbe 
crowd roared. The rackman looked more Indul- 
gent still. It was only an accident anyhow, 
this funny American bitting a cocoanut. He 
did have force, though, the rackman was willing 
to admit. Another doubling up, another un- 
winding. Blam! ■ - 'V. 

Cocoanut No. 2 exploded. There was another 
shower of milk.' 

There's no use of telling further what hap- 
pened. Anv American knows what usually takes 
pened. Any American knows what usually does 
take place when a good thrower throws at a 
large object not more than ten feet away. The 

American did miss the ninth throw, however, 
the wooden ball almost tearing out the back 
end of the stand. The tenth, eleventh, twelfth 
and thirteenth balls went straight home. He'd 
twelve bits in thirteen! Frankly, It was mighty 
good throwing, even for an American used 
to ballplaying. and it was probably a record 
for this particular thrower. Nevertheless, he 
took a five-franc piece from his pocket and 
tossed it upon tbe counter, then disappeared In 
tbe crowd. A murmur of admiration went up 
from the spectators. He was a game one, that 
fellow. He'd done a legitimate thing, he bad 
broken practically every cocoanut In the racks, 
but he had paid the poor rackman for the 

damage. 

The Neuilly Fair Is very much like the Mont- 
marrre Fair. It takes nlace In Jnne and is 
perhaps the biggest of tbem all. It runs the 
entire length from the Paris fortifications to 
the back side of Neuilly, a snburb which lies 
Just north of the Bois de Boulogne. It Is 
a'so one of the most popular of all the fairs. 
In the fll*t place. Its position Is good, and in 
the second. Jnne is prrhaps the best month 
of them all for a fair in France.

METROPOLITA N AMUS EMENT PARKS 

Reviews of the Summer Parks in Cincinnati and Memphis, Compiled for the Infor- 
mation of Concessioners, Managers of Attractions, etc. 

(Tbls is the second Installment of a series that will appear during the balance of the park eearoo.) -;>._ 



CINCINNATI PARKS. 



Cincinnati has three parks, two of which are 
strictly amusement resorts* the third a Zoolo- 
gical Garden, where the regular park atuuueuient 
•devices are practically unknown. The largest, 
considering the number of pleasure rides, con- 
cessions, etc, in operation, rather than the area 
of land covered, is Chester Park, located at a dis- 
tance of seven or eight miles from the heart of 
tbe city. Coney Island, the children's mecca and 
the favorite picnic grounds of the Queen City, is 
a contestor for first place in popularity, but as a 
disinterested onlooker, without access to the 
ledger of either park, I would say that patronage 
is about equally divided between the two, and 
that each, has its own following. Opposite Cin- 
cinnati is the Lagoon, a summer park of no 
wean proportions, nor one lacking in support era. 
This latter resort draws from Covington, as well 
as Cincinnati and contiguous territory, but this 
is also true of the parks on the Ohio side of the* 
river. Covington, Newport, Dayton. Bellevue and 
other small Kentucky towns, as well as Norwood, 
Sedamsville. Walnut Hills, Clifton and a few- 
other suburbs of Cincinnati, depend entirely upon 
the Queen City for their amusements. This has 
been demonstrated by the repeated failures or 
theatres in the suburbs of Cincinnati and in Cov- 
ington. With the exception of a few moving 
picture theatres, Cincinnati suburbs hate no 
amusements whatsoever. But as this Is to be a 
review of the park situation in Cincinnati, we 
win not inquire into the whys and wherefores 
of these fiascos, but begin at once to examine the 
several parks individually. 

Chester Park, as has already been noted, has 
the greatest number of amusement concessions 
and privileges. While shade trees abound at 

Chester and grass plots are not unknown, tin? 

amusement buildings are more compact here than 
at the other parks. The feature attraction at 
Chester la- tbe bathing beach, with its salt water 
bathing. Great has been the success of this 
beach so far this summer, for not In many sea- 
sons has tbe mercury aviated as during June and 
July. The beach is the special hobby of Colonel 
Ike Martin, manager of Chester, Insomuch that 
when asked what he considers the biggest feature 
at his park, his answer invariably is 4t The beach, 
my son, the beach." The colonel, as well as 
other Cincinnati park managers. Is, perhaps, a 
trifle over conservative in the matter of making 
improvements, preferring to run his resort along 
the most economical lines, instead of investing 
tn the- more recent and up-to-date novelties whlcb 

managers in other sections find it profitable to 
Install. The expression "Oh they had that last 
year** 5a not infrequently beard along the board- 
walks of Chester. While It Is not possible, in a 
city the size of Cincinnati, to reconstruct the 
parks each year as is done In some of tot* 
larger cities, much could toe done to stimulate 
patronage by the addition of a few new pleasure 
devices. Chester bas one new feature this season 
which is, speaking in tbe Jingling and silvery 
tone of toe ten-cent piece — and in a loud voice, 
too— of the advisability of adding new attrac- 
tions each season. This new device is called The 
Derby 5 Racer; and Is a ride of the coaster variety. 
■ Whether/ or not its popularity will endure 
throughout seasons to come can not be deter- 
mined. However, pleasure-seekers are certainly 
patronizing tbe new ride prodigiously this season. 

There are many diverting and entertaining nov- 
elties at Chester which seem to be perennial favo- 
rites with this park's clientele. Aside from the 
roller coaster, carousel, tickler, etc.. the vaude- 
ville-pavilion comes in for its share of the 
people's money. "The clubhouse is a popular 
haven for dinner parties, while the other eating 
establishments on the grounds are not suffering 

for lact of patronage. Early In the season. The 

Flshell Amusement Company of St. Louis gave, 
tentatively, several performances of light opera, 
but the company was withdrawn after three 
weeks, owing to poor business. Cincinnati Is 
universally known as a musical center, and why 
It will not support a summer opera company is a 
question not easily determined. It bas been 
demonstrated before, however, that summer 



musical companies will not pay here, therefore, 
no great disappointment was felt by the Fishell 
Company. Manager Martin tried a revival of 
Pinafore, but It also suffered a like fate. 

Coney Island Is reached in two ways; by river 
steamers and trolley cars. Two magnificent 
steamers ply between Cincinnati and the park, 
which is situated about ten miles up the river. 
Coney Island is naturally a beautiful and pic- 
turesque nook, surrounded by dense foliage and 
towering trees. Inside the park the rays of the 
sun scarcely ever penetrate through the trees, so 
closely have they been laid ont by nature. The 
river ride is the most enjoyable feature of a 
trip to Coney. The boats are run at frequent in- 
tervals during the day, and In tbe evening the 
crowds that throng the decks of the magnificent 
steamers. Island Qneen and Princess, often ap- 
proach the maximum number allowed on board 
by government regulations. 

All-day picnics are daily events at Coney. 
School outings, fraternity society gatherings and 
other special socials are held nearly every day 
during the park season. These are in addition 



bas loomed up in the park since last year. The 
new ride is doing a land office business, which 
It well deserves, for there Is perhaps no better, 
larger or more thrilling coaster in the country, 
excluding, of course. New York and Chicago. 
Neither is there one that affords as long a ride 
for the money. Coney has a number of smaller 
concessions that are meeting with variable suc- 
cess this season. Japanese novelty booths, glass 
blowers, moving picture shows, cane racks, 
candy stands, etc., are spread ont in lavish pro- 
fusion in the park. One of the features at 
Coney Is the annual fall carnival, which lasts a 
week and is given along about the close of the 
season. This event, wfcicfc approaches on a small 
scale the regular agricultural fair and exhibi- 
tion, is anticipated with considerable eagerness 
and celebrated with eclat by local farmers and 
merchants. 

, The Lagoon is a favorite spot which the popu- 
lace of Covington and surrounding territory pat- 
ronize with characteristic Kentucky ardour. 
While there are many buildings at the Lagoon 
housing such ingenious pleasure devices as have 



CONEY ISLAND, CINCINNATI. 




The open air vaudeville theatre Is one of the best patronized features of Coney. Attractions

much to increase the park's popularity. 



to the regular evening crowds. Dancing Is n 
favorite pastime on board the steamers as well 
as In the pavilion at the park. Bowling alleys, a 
spacious clubhouse, wheie cne cuisine Is uncx 
celled, vaudeville and free acts, boating, bathing, 
etc., are some of the park's most Inviting diver- 
sions. The circle swing, shoot the chutes, merry- 
go-round and other contrivances are only receiv- 
ing a fair share of patronage this season, prob- 
ably for the reason that a monster new coaster 



THE LAGOON, CINCINNATI. 




Autoiug in the Treetops is one of the pleasure rid 's offered at the Lajroon which Is distinctly 
unique. The device Is the patent of Col. J. J. Weaver, manager of the Laguon. 



hj»en mentioned In connection with the foregoing 
summary of Chester and Coney Island Parks, a 
considerable amount of tbe Lagoon's popularity 
arises from the pleasures provided by nature.' 
A lake or large natural lagoon furnishes excel- 
lent boating and bathing facilities, in addition 
to being a favorite spot with fishermen. Last 
reason Colonel J.J. Weaver, proprietor and man- 
ager of the I.agoon. conceived the Idea of giving 
pyrotechnics! exhibitions on the lake in the form 



of miniature naval battles. The plan met with 
so large a degree of public approbation that lie- 
concluded to again make this a regular offering 
this season. Tbe exhibitions consist of fireworks 
and sham battles between miniature war vessels, 
which spectacle at night presents a very pretty 
picture. The lake Is surrounded by a boardwalk 
from which the visitors mav get an excelltnt 
view of the maneuvers. A novelty in the way of 
scenic rides is afforded by the concession known 
as AutoJng in the Treetops. A track circles the 
park, built at an elevation of fifteen feet above 
the ground, around which cars, very much re- 
sembling the regular touring auto,- run amid the 
rustling limbs of the trees. .This ride has been . 
constructed as a result of much engineering and 
planning by its inventor. Colonel Weaver, who is": 
a civil engineer of reputation and an' expert in f- 
park construction. ■-> 

The Lagoon boasts of a clubhouse, the peer of ^ 
any in the state. Table de'hote dinners, served 
a la Kentucky, have a reputation for their ex- 
cellence. In the evening the service is a la 
carte. The Lagoon Is reached by the C, N. & C. 
Traction Company, which operates cars between 
Cincinnati, Newport and Covington. The park Is 
about five miles from tbe heart of Cincinnati, and 
a three-minute service is maintained during tbe 
park season. Free attractions are offered at the 
Lagoon in tbe open air. Dancing is a prime favo- 
rite at the Lagoon, and considerable money It 
spent each week at the smaller concessions. 

The Zoological Garden is the most beautiful and 
picturesque of Cincinnati's parks, and is the fa- 
vorite retreat of the best people In the city. Tht 

grounds at the Zoo undulate In graceful slopes, 

which admit of many pretty floral designs being 
laid out in geometrical figures along tbe hill- 
sides. Tbe clubhouse and bandshell are on a 
slight promontory, from whicb wide walks branch 
out in every direction and lead to the carnlvora, 
aviary, simian and other animal buildings. The 
intrinsic feature of the Zoo is, of course, the 
large collection of animals gathered from every 
clime and country, although the band concerts 
are an incentive that creates a desire to visit the 
Zoo frequently. In former seasons the larger 
traveling bands played weekly and fortnightly 
engagements at this park, but this year tbe Cin- 
cinnati Symphony Orchestra will remain through- 
out the season. This is the first time a penna- 
nt ut band has played the Zoo In . many seasons, 
and early in tbe season there was much specula- 
tion as to whether or not the plan would meet 
with public approval. Attendance has been good 
so far. Occasionally as an added attraction, such 
high-class aggregations as the Ben Greet I'layera 
are booked for two weeks. Last season a series 
of that magnificent outdoor spectacle, Hiawatha, 
was offered, bat no announcements hare been 
made as to whether or not this play will be 
given this season. Every known variety of flora 
and fauna can be found at the Zoo. Sturdy oaks 
and elms rear their highly heads above the 
smaller varieties of warm climate vegetation. 
whiPh each year is sot out by a small army of 
horticultors. Tbe polar bear and seal from tbe 
frozen shores of the North roar and bark to tbe 
accompanying chatter and incessant chirping of 
the smallest birds from the jungles of India and 
Africa. Dinner parties on the verandas of the 
clubhouse are dally entoyed by the most select 
people of the Queen City. There are no small 
concessions on the grounds, except a candy stand 
and penny arcade. 

So much for Cincinnati parks. Tbe bathing 
beaches, several In number, of which the Queen 
City Bathing Beach and the Manhattan Beach are 
tbe largest, have been doing big business thl# 
summer. Outside of bathing no amusements are 
offered. Candy and lunchstands about cover the 
concessions. REV AM.

ARTHUR J. FORBES. 

WHEE LING , W. VA. 

The park business In this vicinity has been 
nothing to boast of for the past few seasons, 
and but one is running this season, that being 
Wheeling Park. . 



Mozart Park, the hilltop resort, did not open 
at all this season, and was only open a short 
time last year; and Coney Islanu has not been 
open for two years, but the latter was always 
handicapped by bad transportation facilities. 

Wheeling Park, designated as "the snot beau- 
tiful," and it deserves tbe term, opened tbe 
season May 14, and is drawing as good as could 
be expected under present Industrial conditions 
existing in this neighborhood. This park Is 
owned by the City and Elm Grove Traction 
Company, and Is leased by the Ohio Valley 
Amusement Company, of which. Mr. J. A. 
Moore of Martins Ferry, Ohio, is manager. 
Musical comedy or vaudeville is eiven each day 
and evening, and It is an exceptional day when 
one or more picnics are not given there, either 
large or small. The park Is located on the City 
and Elm Grove Traction line, about four miles 
east of the city, a very pleasant half hour's

A few years ago the parks were not molested 
in the sale of liquor on Sundays, but since they 
are not allowed to sell at all on that day. It

sale of liquor was tremendous on a Sunday, and 
there Is no way of making up the deficit.

coaster, the largest concession on the place, Is 
controlled by Mr. Harry w. Rogers, the able 
manager of the Apollo Theatre of this city, 
and the bar and bowling alley privilege is run

man, also of this city. These are tbe only con- 
cessions not run by tbe park management them- 
selves. 

WILMINGTON, DEL., PARKS. 

Never before In the history of this city have 
our local parks been as up-to-date as they an 
this season. During the fall and winter and 
spring months men have worked and trans- 
formed tbe pleasure resorts Into attractive- 
places. Especially may this be said of Brandy- 
wine Springs Park, located five miles from 
this city. The ride on the cars of tbe People's) 
Railway Co. Is Indeed a delightful one. The 
park Is filled with historic points closely asso- 
ciated with the struggles incident to the Revo- 
lutionary War. It is replete with amnsements. 
all of which are popular-priced. The most 
popular Is the -Manhattan Opera Co.. under tbe. 
management of Mr. Robert Kane. For a park 
aggregation this company Is far above the aver- 
age, and tbe soloists and comedians are of 
t^rst water. Comic opera and musical comedy an 
given, with a change of bill weekly and a 
matinee on Thursdays. The company numbers 
twenty-five people and no drones, and in con- 
nection a first-class orchestra of nine pieces 
plays the entire performance. This week's bra 
Is the ever-popular Bohemian Girl. 

Tbe large and picturesque lake has been trans- 
formed into a water village. Japanese In effect, 
with bridges spanning It. villas built In It and 
a large and commodious dance hall In the center, 
make it a beauty spot, especially at night. 
Other amusements Include: tbe great racing 
automobiles, the scenic railway, the popular 
merry-go-ronnd. boating on lake and creek, the 
largest skating rink in Delaware, tbe fascinat- 
ing toboggan, an np-to-date restaurant, a motion 
picture theatre, the standard swings, Japanese 
ping-pong and arrow target, photograph gal- 
lery, pool, snuffle-boards and bl'llards, the fun- 
oy Katzeniammer Castle, mutoscope parlors, 
box-ball alleys, bow and arrow targets, taffy 
candy (made on tbe spot), ice cream pavilion 
(cream made on grounds), novelty, souvenir 
and postcard booths, the circle swing, special 
weighing scales. Gypsy fortune teller. b!eyc» 
racing game, fruit, candy and peanut stands, 
baby throw game, rough boose, the striking 
machine. 

Sacred concerts are in vogue each Sunday 
afternoon and evening. An augmented orchestra 
of twenty pieces and the opera company give 
an enjoyable program. Special days are also 
a feature. These include: Baby Show, Dou- 
bnby Show. Farmers' Day and Grangers' Day; 
with excursions from nearby states a dally 
occurrence. At the head of this entire resort 
is Rtcbard H. Crooks, who by bis supreme exec- 
utive ability has made this park one of the 
garden spots of the stste. Strsnge to state, 
but nevertheless true, this park has been used 
as a pleasure ground since 1775; being first 
noted for tbe medicinal valne of Its mineral 
waters, and even now these health-giving waters 
are free to all visitors. - 

SHELLPOT PARK. 

Sbellpot Park is located Just outside of our 
city's limits on the Philadelphia Pike. It Is 
leased by the -Henry & Young Amusement Co.. 
with James E. Henry as manager. The -cars 
of the Wilmington & Philadelphia Trsctlnn «••■ 
run direct to the resort and a rapid schedule 
is maintained. 

The-park this year presents a delightful ap- 
pearance. Thoroughly renovated and with 
tbonsands of additional incandescent lights 
artistically arranged, make it a welliligbted re-

AMUSEMENT EVENTS OF THE 



WHITING ALL EN DIES 

One of the Most Popular Press Agents the Circus World 
Has Ever Known Succumbs to Heart Disease — 
Trusted Lieutenant of Bailey & McCaddon 



Wilting Allen, whom James A- Bailey once 
characterized us "the best writer of alliter- 
ative literature in the country," and who is 
said to have known more newspaper men than 
any other press agent except Tody Hamilton, 
died of heart, disease, in Chicago, Thursday, 
July 27. 

Mr. Allen had gone to the Western metropolis 
as representative of the Kinemacolor Motion 
Picture Company of New York, as was ex- 
clusively announced in last week's issue of 
The Billboard. - 

He bad engaged this season as press repre- 
sentative of the Barnutn & Bailey Show, but 
bis health failed and be returned to New York, 
soon after the Madison Sqnare Garden date. 
Several weeks ago, having been advised by his 
physician that his health would never permit 
of his traveling again, he asaed the Kindling 
Brothers to remove bis name from the payroll. 
It was tben that he accepted the proffer of 
the position he was destined never to fill. 

Mr. Allen was born in Youogstown. Ohio, 
fifty-she years ago. When a boy. he served as 
page in the Ohio State Legislature in Columbus. 
Later he went to work on a Columbus news- 
paper and became a theatrical writer of note. 
His first engagement as -a press agent was 
with the W. C. Coup Circus, and he has fol- 
lowed that line of work, with the exception 
of occasional excursions into newspaper work, 
foe thirty years. ..His second press agent en- 
gagement was with the Forepaugh & Sell* 
Bros.'. Circus. Later be Joined Buffalo Bill 
and 'went with him on his first European tour, 
and no greater success ever crowned a publicity 
promoter's efforts than It did Allen's od this 
occasion. 

In 1905 he went to Europe as general press 
representative of . Joseph T. McCaddon' s Amer- 
ican Circus, which failed in Grenoble, France. 
Mr. McCaddon was taken from the S. 8. St. 
Louis -at the instigation of French creditors, 
just as he was about to leave with his two 
sons for America. Mr. Allen, who was also 
booked for passage on the same steamer, went 



ashore and refused to leave McCaddon until he 
was clear of bis troubles. The bodv of Mrs. 
McCaddon. who died sbortlv after tbe failure 
of tbe American Circus, was also aboard the 
St. Louis, and bad to make tbe journey to New 
York unattended bv relatives. 

Mr. Allen left the Barnum & Bailey Circus 
in 1907 to become dramatic editor of the Phila- 
delphia North American, and was a great fav- 
orite in tbe Quaker City. While there he was 
made an honorary member of the Lu Lu Temple 
of the Mystic Shrine, an honor that has been 
conferred upon but three men. 

Upon this and bis previous visit to Europe, 
as representative of tbe Barnum & Bailey Show 
Whiting Allen acquired a working familiarity 
with half a dozen languages, proving himself a 
veritable genius of a polyglot. 

While on the staff of the Philadelphia North 
American, Allen branched out as . an operatic

VETOES T HEATR ICAL BILL 

Governor of New York Finds Present State Law Governing 
Issuance of License Satisfactory, and Will Not 
Sign Bill Modifying Discretionary Power 



Albany. N. Y., July 25 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — Governor Dix today vetoed Assembly- 
man Oliver's bill in relation to licenses for 
theatrical and other entertainments and per- 
formances. The governor says in his memoran- 
dum that this bill proposes that where a li- 
cense is refused for certain performances in a 
city of the first class, it shall be the duty of 



officer making such refusal to state at length 
the evidence taken by him and his reasons 
therefor, so that the same may be reviewed by 
the courts. 

No good and sufficient reason has been given 
why tbe discretionary power of licensing certain 
performances, which now exist under the pres- 
ent law, should be modified, and for this reason 
the governor disapproved the bill. 



MINSTREL'S MOTHER INSANE.

Howard Pew's 

Son Killed 



New York. July 29 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — Howard Pew Jr., familiarly known as 
Buster,, ten- year-old son of Howard Pew, the 
band manager, met death in an automobile ac- 
cident at Atlantic City. last Saturday. Bnster 
bad been playing ball in front of the Pew home 
with playmates. Tbe ball rolled across the 
street, and Buster ran to pick It up. As he 
turned to join bis playmates, be found himself 
In tbe path of a swiftly-moving automobile- The 
machine struck Buster, .killing him Instantly. 

The chauffeur and tbe owner of the car placed 
the body in the machine and hurried to the hos- 
pital. The examining physician said death was 
Instantaneous. 

The owner- of tbe car and the chauffeur were 
arrested * and placed in jail, where they were 
compelled to remain until Monday night, when 
they were released, after tne coroner's jury ren- 
dered a verdict, after two hours' deliberation, 
that the killing was accidental. 

Howard: Pew Sr. was in Chicago at the time 
of the accident, and was notified by wire that 
Buster was Injured. "Pew wired for particulars,

EVENTS OF THE AMUSE 



SHAKESP EARE REVIVALS 

Offered by Coburn Players at Columbia University Campus 
in the Open Air Draw Forth an Avalanche 
of Public Commendation 



New York. July 27 (Special to The Billboard). 
— Tbe New Yorker sbooid by this time be very 
familiar with tbe ordinary repertoire of Shakes- 
pearean productions. Inasmuch as It Is his 
good fortune to have various stars and their 
companies producing them at different times of 
the year. It will be recalled that in the depth 
Of winter, when the holiday bells were jingling 
with the spirit of Christmas and New Year, 
8otnern-Marlowe settled down at the Broadway 
theatres for a number of weeks in their familiar 
series of plays from the masterpen. They again 
returned at the close of the season to the same 
theatre. This has not been much more than sis 
weeks ago, yet Shakespeare has returned again 
under the most anspcions of conditions, open-air 
and Elizabethan atmosphere. In referring to 
the ensemble of people, play and environment, 
one of New York's papers makes the following 
appreciative statement: 

'Columbia University campus was transformed 
Into an outdoor playhouse last night, and 
Shakespearean comedy al fresco was the offer- 
ing. It was the Coburn Players who appeared, 
miner the auspices of the Department of Eng- 
lish of the university, with Much Ado About 
Nothing as tbe bill. 

"Well-nigh an Elizabethan night In Its ' al- 
most primitive simplicity itself that served as a 
keynote and a cbarm to the occasion. 

"These Coburn Players gave a most excellent 
portrayal of this comedy of Shakespeare. It 
can not be said to be a cast of absolute even- 
•- TOSB. or of congenially and effectively-taking 
roles In Its entirety, bnt soeh defects as these 
were would not be! found materially in the per- 
formance of those characters of importance. 

Much Ado About Nothing Is not what might 
be termed the -masterpiece of the playsmith of 
: Avon, yet there Is much of wholesome mirth 
and Ingenuous good-heartedness In this timed- 
honored and simple story of Benedick and Beat- 
rice, of Claudio and Hero and the others. It is 
all the more welcome, all the more pleasing 
when seen on a stage that has been fashioned 
by. or rather borrowed, from nature, when the 
carpet Is real grass and the roof is high heaven 
with its stars. 

"Charles Danville Coburn was seen as Bene- 
dick- His work is clean-cut. straightforward 
and convincing, and he scored his comedy points

MENT W£EK IN NEW YOR K 



ACTS NE W TO GOTHAM 

Review and Critical Comment of Acts Appearing for the 
First Time in New York Vaudeville Theatres— Per- 
formers Who Have Altered Their Acts Included 



THE LEANDER8, Comedy Cyclists: 11 minute*; 
full stage. Hammersteln's Boot. 
A man and a woman compose tbe team known 
as The Leanders. The brunt of the work per- 
formed throughout the entire period required 
for the presentation of the net falla upon the 
shouldere of the man. The woman acta mere- 
ly as an assistant, although her aid Is an asset 
to the act, through her good appearance. The 
man. In "Jack Tar" make-op. rides various 
kinds of wheels, the construction or several of 
■which (for riding purposes) Is unique. This 
Is especially true in the cloBlng trick, in which 
the man, with the woman seated on his shoul- 
ders, rides a wooden wheel from which project 
two stationary pedals. The act opened the 
shoiv at Hammersteln's, doing nicely. 



SHAH? AND BAKES, Singers and Dancers; 8 
• minutes'; in one. Hammersteln's Boof. 
Sharp and Baker apparently have made no 
effort to divert from the beaten paths of sing- 
ing and hard-shoe dancing acts. They open with 
a song and dance, following with a solo dance 
bv each, .and winding up with the usual en- 
semble. Whatever Sharp and Baker undertook, 
they performed well. 

BOTH 8T. DENIS, in Badha, a Hindoo Temple 
Dance; 25 minutes; full stage. Hammer- 
steln's Boof. 
While this Hindoo temple dance, so splen- 
didly interpreted by Miss St Denis, is some- 
thing that is not new, a dance not entirely un- 
like it bavins; been performed a few years ago 
by Gertrude Hoffman, nevertheless, through Miss 
St. Denis' efforts it is worthy - of repetition. 
The scene of the dance Is the interior of a 
Hindoo temple. An Image, Badba, the Hindoo 
goddess,- is seated in a shrine, before which 
kneels a priest. The spirit of Radba. at the 
solicitation of the priest, enters the image, and 
the goddess, descending from her shrine, begins 
the dance of the five senses. The figures of 
the dance are sight, hearing, smell, taste, 
touch, abandonment of the senses, renuncia- 
tion and the attainment. Hammersteln's audi- 
ences were wrapped in attention during tbe 
time Miss St. Denis occupied the stage, ap- 
plauding her heartily at the conclusion of the 
dance. 



Graham and Conrad 
at Hammerstein's 



New York, July 29 (Special to The Billboard). 
— Notoriety — unsavory though it may be — has Its 
uses. Especially does this apply to theatricals. 
Having attained a degree of free advertising fol- 
lowing seme sensational incident, it behooves the 
recipient of this publicity to became a member 
of the stage fraternity. Immediately It is deemed 
a grand business stroke by the managers to feat- 
ure on their bills an act, hastily constructed, in 
which these well-advertised performers place 
themselves on exhibition. It Is tbe curiosity that 
leads the public to tbe theatre In such cases. 

An Illustration of tbe foregoing statement may 
he found this week at Hammersteln's, where 
Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad, who figured 
n tbe sensational episode surrounding the shoot- 
ing or a wealthy New Yorker, are hilled. It Is 
the last of their two weeks* engagement at this 
house. Saturday night Lillian Graham mysteri- 
ously disappeared. Monday night It was an- 
nounced from the stage that her apparent evapo- 
ration was not the result of a press agent'a yarn, 
out was a bona fide dlunnearing get Ethel 
Conrad was then compelled to work out the week 
alone. 

Miss Conrad essayed the rendition of three 
fongs— When You're In Town. Oo Home and Tell 
lour Mother and Alexander's Band. Aided by 
a sympathetic audience. Miss Conrad took one 

w ? l ,n * Monday evening show. The piano on 
which Miss Graham was to perform was placed 
in its proper position on the stage and left on- 
used, it seemed to Impress npon the audience 
tuo plight of the missing girl. 

As a drawing card. Both St. Denis most not 
be overlooked. Heading the bill. Miss St. Denis 
presented Radha, a Hindoo temple dancer, whicb, 
taking the amount of applause she received aa a 
criterion was to the liking of Hammersteln audi- 
ences. Miss St. Denis Is the personification or

Real Summer Bill 
at 5th Ave. Theatre 



New York, July 29 (Special to The Billboard). 
— Minus offerings synonymus to the winter the- 
atrical season. Manager Robert E. Irwin has 
selected a real summer Bbow for the Fifth 
Avenue this week. Comedy Is to be found 
in every act on the bill. The drama hss no 
place on the program and it need not be given 
one. 

One does not feel he is sweltering when 
viewin" the Fifth Avenue show of this week. 
Fun runs along like a rippling stream and the 
torridity outside tie theatre is forgotten. 

A great deal of shifting was done after the 
Monday show, only the opening and closing 
acts remaining in the positions they were or- 
iginally placed. 

The strength Brothers opened tbe show, giv- 
ing it a handsome start. The brothers have 
something new In the equiltbristic line of work 
that the audience was qnick to recognise. 

The act now being done t>— Henry Fink is 
a vast Improvement over that which he showed 
for the first time at Hammersteln's a few weeks 
ago. Fink was originally set down for second 
position but was moved down to No. 3. He 
scored a solid hit at the Fifth Avenue. 

Spot No. 2 was fiUed by the Mabel Florence 
Players, appearing In a farce called The Worm 
Turned. It is reviewed under New Acta. The 
other new acts on the bill were Kajlyama. Gil- 
bert Losee and Gns Edwards' High Flyers, 
holding down Spots No. 7, 8 and 9, respective- 
ly. 

Kathleen Clifford carried off the headline 
honors. Her impression or various types of 
people is a clever bit or work. Or her five 
characters, three are of men. 

Little Miss Manicure, a song and dance of- 
fering, for a wind-up or which Is offered a 
Scare Crow Girl, Is a real winner for Charles 
Nevlns and Ada Gordon. Tbe Scare Crow Girl 
is a delineation remarkably made by Miss 
Gordon.

Hie city last week, perfecting arrangements 
with Saenger Brothers for the formal opening 
of the big Sullivan and Consldlne Circuit some 
time In September. 

Mr. Gondron reports tbe show business all 
over the country as languishing under the effect 
of the intense beat, from which all sections are 
suffering, causing an unprecedented number of 
houses to close. In addition, the better class of 
performers are laying off, making it extremely 
difficult to procure reliable acts, and be has ad- 
vised tbe local bouse to use high-class motion

Actor Minister 

Praises Stage 



Philadelphia, Pa., July 26 (Special to The Bill- 
board.) — One of the most remarkable demonstra- 
tions of an outdoor religions service was given 
here tonight, when Rev. Henry W. Lambert, who 
left the stage for the pulpit, addressed thou- 
sands upon tbe plaza of the City Hall. Before 
becoming a clergyman, the Bev. Lambert was 
famed as an actor and during his life had sup- 
ported Madame Modjeska, Lawrence Barrett, 
Edwin Buddy and a score of others of the old 
school. 

During his remarks the great actor-minister 
paid a glowing tribute to the players of the 
present day. "Actors and actresses are Just 
as good morally as any class of people" he 
said, "and we are safe in looking elsewhere 
for our first missionary work when those folks 
sacrifice their only time of rest in order to 
seek some religions edifice to attend services 
in a strange town." 

The Bev. Lambert Intends delivering a series

Tbe Billboard Company, 
Dear Sirs: 

The Norwood Hypnotic Company closed thetr 
season here last night very suddenly. The 
death of Mr. Frank Phelps, father of Miss Eva 
Phelps, the professor's assistant, was announced 
just before the show. Now. tbe closing of the 
show did not grieve anyone, but the treatment 
each member received at tbe bands of the pro- 
fessor was very poor. Prof. Norwood was play- 
ing to a packed house the night of the closing 
and the members ot the company were some- 
what puzzled to know Just what reason he bad 
for closing in the midst of a splendid week. 
Also he did not receive permission from the 
manager to close, and an attachment has been 
issued on the baggage. It Is safe to say, that 
not one of tbe present comnanv win be with bis 
show next season. 

Wishing a few of the close friends of the 
victims to know this "stunt." we ask you to 
make note of this in your next publication. 
Thanking yon, 

A MEMBER.

MONOPO L SEIZ ES FILMS 

Twenty Reels, Alleged to be an Infringement of the Copy- 
righted Film, Dante's Inferno, Taken Possession 
of by Monopol Film Company 



Sew York Julv 20 (Special to The Billboard). 
—Tin- M»uoih)I Film Company, at alwut 6 
o'clock last night, made a seizure or some 
tvvemv reels of aim which they claimed are an 
infrinscincut on their i copyrighted tllm of Dan- 
te's Inferno. Tile seizure was conducted hy 
U. S. .Marshals Wm. C. Hecht and Jas. B. Bost- 
wlct in company with P. I*. Craft of the 
Monopol Company, and some others of that firm 
who were familiar with the films. The alleged 
Infringing nims were the property of B. E. 
Clements who was coniluctlne his business from 
ihe old office of the Columbia Film Company, 
at the corner of 37th Street and Eiehth Avenue, 
where the seizure was made. 

This is the first seizure to be made under the 
new copvright law. which went Into effect July 
14 1909." and which gives the owner of the copy- 
right the right to seize and hold Infringing 
Alms Instead of merely according him the right 
to sue the infringing party, as was the leg-il 
procedure before the law went into effect. At. 
tornevs Jacob Schechter and Waldo G. Morse, 
represented the Mononol Coranany. and secured 
the writ of seizure. Mr. Morse has been the 
attorner for members of the Monopol Company 
for sonie time, and It was through him that the 
somewhat odd venture was decided upon The 
^eheme was a new one to the jndge issuing the 
writ, and It was necessary for Mr. Morse to 
read him Section 28 of the Conyrlght Law. 
which provided for the seizing of the alleged 
infringements. 

The C. S. denutv marshals arrived at Clero- 
-ents' office abont 6 o. m.. and immedlatelv be- 
san the work of Inspecting and confiscating the 
fllm in the Columbia oIBce. The production as 
planned by Clements was In two reels, and the 
■officers secured both negatives and about 
eighteen prints of these. Every inch of the 
film was seized, including a reel which had 
Tieen ran half way through the projecting ma- 
chine during a private exhibition. 

Some bnllheadedness on the part of the Clem- 
ents forces caused Mr. Clements to exclude 
from the large audience which hid collected 
the members of the press. The trade papers 
■had refns-d the advertising of the Clements 
concern, fearing that the film and its sale was 



Daniels Describes 
New Process 



Chicago. III., July 28 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — At a regular meeting of the Motion 
Picture Exhibitors' Association of Illinois held 
Monday. July 17. Mr. W. a. Daniels, president 
of the National Waterproof Film Company, gave 
a clear description of waterproof films by 
stating that waterproofing is simply celluloid In 
solution, abont the conslstencv of molasses, and 
that It Is put over the gelatine side of a fllm 
with patented machinery. This spreads It all 
aronnd the snrocket holes wlthont clogging or 
going throngh, thns making the film like a 
sandwich, the pictures in the soft gelatine 
being protected on top nnd bottom with hard 
celluloid. Such a fllm will not scratch easily, 
but It never has been claimed that It will not 
scratch at all. 

One of the advantages of waterproof films are 
that they can be washed with soap and water, 
anil if periodically washed by the exchanges, 
scratches can be kept free from dirt (meaning 
rain) and from those- funny looking clouds 
(meaning oil spots). 

Mr. Daniels presented the organization with a 
silver mounted gavel, and was extended a rising 
vote of thanks.

MENT WEEK IN CHICAGO 



FINE BIL L AT M AJESTIC 

Last Week's Offering Partakes of the "AlhStar" Nature, 
and Results in Capacity Houses During Entire Week 
— Managers Rejoice Over Cool Weather 



Chicago. 111.. July 27 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — Speaking of "all star" bills one would 

ink that the management of the Majestic 
would have taken advantage of this week's of- 
fering with additional billing. In all prob- 
ability though, It was realized before hand 

that to haug out the S. It. O. sign peeves some 
people; nevertheless this little sign Is working 
ivertlnie this week. On Monday afternoon every 
seat from orchestra to gallery, was suM be- 
fore overture. A good-natured crowd, made ad- 
ditionally so by the cool wave that made Chi- 
cago a week long visit, /: seemed to feel the 
White Hats' motto and the result was that 
each act on the bill made good. 

The Robert De Mont Trio opened the show 
la an excellent acrobatic offering called At the 
Hotel Turn over, They carry tfcclr own stage 
setting depleting a hotel lobby, everything Is 
complete from desk to elevator and a. splendii: 
icldcle for their work is formed. Ther wort 
with terrific speed and dp some exceedingly dif- 
ficult and original stunts. Their act ran only 
seven minutes, hut owing to the rapidity of 
their work it seemed more like flftcei. The 
house was well filled, and resultantly they re- 
sponded to encores consuming almost two min- 
utes. . 

Mason and Murray appeared second and ar.- 
reviewed under New Acts. 

Earle Reynolds and Nellie Donegan. the roller 
skate artists, who lately created such a sensa- 
tion In Europe, were third on the bill and 
came very nearly spoiling n good act by their 
slowness i'i appearing after the curtain had been 
raised. This is an European custom and no 
doubt Ik in a way force of habit, but that 

the Yankres do not see this mode of introduc- 
tion was clearly evidenced. However, they ful- 
ly redeemed themselves and a decided Improve- 
ment is perceptible in the act. Their cos- 
tumes are attractive and pleasing, and the act 
nniu.ue throughout. They are undoubtedly the 
king pins In their line and have little room 
left for Improvement. 

Here is a real vaudeville act — George Mc- 
Kay and John Cantwell. two verv clever gen- 
tlemen, who appear fourth on the bill. They 
open in one, using their special drop. Mr. Mc- 
Kay enacting the character of a policeman and 
Mr. Cantwell a Jew peddler. . Several rich 
comedy hits were here put over, which hit 
the mark and were well received. Mr. McKay 
changes to the character of the banker and Mr. 
Cantwell a pickpocket. After a short dialogue 
the regular drop is let down and the gentle- 
men close in some very good soft-shoe dancing 
They were one of tbe real hits of the bill and 
responded to three or fonr encores. 

The Avon Comedy Four, scream manufac- 
turers, appeared in their comedy farce. The 
I<ew School Teacher. This Is one of a few 
comedy quartettes appearing in full stage and 

"getting away with It." There is very little 
singing but plenty of comedy of a good, whole-

VAUDEVILLE AT SANS SOUCI. 

Chicago, July 29 (Special to The Billboard). — 
When one Is looking for a real novelty In vaude- 
ville, it Is doabtrul whether It coald be found 
anywhere so complete as at the beautiful Sans 
Sonri Crystal Casino. It has a seating capacity 
of 7.000 and a stage backed by a band shell 
of * finest quarter-sawed oak, giving voltnne to 
the voice. Instead of the regular seats, small 
white-enameled tables and chairs afford an op- 
portunity to "eat, drink and be merry." This, 
no donbt, has been Instrumental In making this 
one of the most popular of the better-class re- 
sorts in Chicago and, as there is no admission 
Charged, good houses are generally the order. 

The show is opened by Birdie Lewln. featur- 
ing Jerome H. Rcmlck's Oceana Roll and You'll 
Do tbe Same Thing Over Again. This young 
lady has a pleasing voice and neponded to sev- 
eral encores. 

Thlesson's Dogs made a decided hit in some 
remarkable feats. 

Fonr American Gypsy Girls, harmony singers 
of a very high class, are very clever and enter- 
taining, but owing to the size of tbe bouse, their 
voices were killed past tbe first 'dozen row of 
tables. In a smaller house the act should prove 
a hit. 

Morton- Jewel Troupe, club artists and Jug- 
glers, offer an Ideal act for this class of stage, 
as alt talking 'Is eliminated and they depend 
only upon visual appreciation for their suc- 
cess. 

Mile. Nadje. the perfect woman, in physical 
culture exhibitions and dancing, elicited much 
admiration and proved tbe bit of the bill. 

The Three Hlckey Brothers in a knockabout 
song and dance act. closrd the show and went 

very nicely. 



At the Studebaker. tbe International Travel 
picture displays are reported to be doing a big 



Big Attendance 
at Wilson Theatre 



Chicago. HI., July 2C (Special to The. Bill- 
board). — While the bill at tlitr Wilson Avenae 
this week is not as prals* worthy as last week's 
offeric. the house played to better business, 
owliiR to the pleasant weather conditions, which 
was Instrumental to Increased business all over 
the cit*\ Possibly tbe bill wan a trifle better 
balanced than tbe one olTerrd lust week, but It 
can hardly be said that the acts were placed to 
tbe best advantage. Figaro. EMrupoan Jupgler. 

was placed to open the show, ami uo doubt this ' 
Is the customary spot for acts of this naturp. but 
Inasmuch as this clever artist won thy lion's 
share of the applause, it seems only fair fhit he 
should hare been plven a better opportunity. 
Without a doubt FIsaro has one of the b-**t Jng- 
p-llcff acts ever seen in family th'-atres. and Is 
doubtless destined for some of the b-.-st time. 
His stunts are all new and cleverly executed (cot 
killed). 

Doubtless the Cberry Sisters will won bv only 
a memory, but we discovered on the Wilson bill 
a very good substitute for «aem. The Mor'tlmer 
Sisters appear second on the bill, and were a riot 
for the same reason tbnt has made the Cherry 
Sisters a headline attraction for th^ past seTrral 
years. The girls open In one. and after two or 
three songs, closed In two. with a seinl-redeemlnR 
nature, singing "Summer Day*** . with a special 
setting. Possibly the girls nr« clever and n«cd 
onlv to wake up to the situation and to realize 
that the managers are not looking for another 
Cherry act.

two attaches of the J. Frank Hatch Water Car- 
nival Company and six members of the Two 
Bills -Show. These parties were Initiated at 
-meetings especially called for the purpose. Fred 
Beegle. delegate, accompanied by Henry Men, 
-attended the Wheeling Convention, journeying 
trotti their home town to the convention city in 
• the club's automobile. . ' 

A letter from Grand Secretary Robert C. 
-Newman discloses the fact that be is still busy 
preparing the minutes of the Wheeling Conven- 
tion for publication and discharging other duties 
arising as a result of the convention. 

Newark Lodge No. 28 held their regular quar- 
terly meeting at 401 1-lane Street. Sunday, July 
Iff, at which a large crowd was present to wel- 
come the delegate attending the Wheeling Con-

glowing account of what had been done in the 

■ interests of the order, and befitting remarks 

were made by Messrs. Wolff, Cullen. Flandreau.

highly, pleased with the treatment accorded- him, 
and assured his guests that any member of the

had tasted of the fruit of the gods. 

Harry Dunkel, a member of Pittsburg Lodge

I'lijua Lodge No. 01 for mayor of that city on 
the Prohibition ticket.

TRUE STORIES OF PEOPLE YOU 
KNOW— F. F. PROCTOR. 

By ROBERT GRATJ. 



Thirty-five years ago the Levantine Brothers 
were regarded as a standard act at the Va- 
rieties. Their vogue was such that bookings 
came In plenty, and they rarely bad an open 
week, save from choice — and It may be said 
of them that they were a representative 
"Brother" act of their day. They were not 
brothers, however,, one being the Frederick F. 
Proctor of today, while the other also became 
a theatrical manager, known as George Mans- 
field and for years he managed the Grand Opera 
House in Boston, with success. 

Frederick Proctor's managerial career began 
in Albany. N. Y.. and to this day that city baa 
been a central and Important figure in his 
business enterprises. Proctor ran the old Green 
Street Theatre in the Capital City. Here It was 
that he began to make money and he was wont 
to take the surplus at the end of each week 
to the savings bank. In fact It is this trait 
— that of saving his money, that has stood him 
in good stead throughout bis long and remark- 
able career. 

In the summer of 1885 Proctor's ambition be- 
came so pronounced that he wearied of being 
confined merely to one city and to one line of 
endeavor. In this year he became affiliated with 
William C. Coup, a brother-in-law of P. T. 
Barnum and himself one of the country's great- 
est showmen of any time. The two leased the 
Genesee Falls Park and grounds in Rochester, 
N. Y., and there created the most unique and 
elaborate amusement resort that this country 
had ever known up to that day (1884). 

The feature of this enterprise was the 
museum under the direction of Prof. Worth. In 




F. F. PROCTOR. 



the theatre proper a comic opera company, -un- 
der the direction of this writer, gave a re- 
pertoire of the operatic successes of the day. 
and in the cast were men and women who af- 
terward became famous as stars, while every 
member of the chorus became either a star or a 
principal in later years. 

About this time a man who had made some 
money giving museum shows In the Bowery, be- 
gan to branch out in other cities, not dreaming 
that his procedure was destined to bring him 
Into fame, and also to change the theatrical 
man as then constituted. That man was H. R. 
Jacobs. He met Proctor In Albaoy exactly a 
quarter of a century ago, and he, too, has made 
Albany his headquarters to this day. Jacobs 
took the old Martin Opera House in Albany and 
by adoptinr his famous scale of prices, 10r 20 
and 30 cents, completely revolutionized theat- 
ricals In that city, so that Proctor, in a desire 
to protect bis own Interests, was glad to com- 
bine with Jacobs and thus was formed the firm 
of Jacobs & Proctor. At one time this firm 
had at least one theatre in every large city 
In this country and they also had . so many 
companies on tour that they did not require 
outs'de organizations to complete their book- 
togs. 

For several years this firm prospered, but 
In due course the Inevitable happened and 
Jacobs and Proctor separated. Proctor came to 
New York. He built a theatre on West 23d 
Street, also retaining his houses in Albany. 
Charles Frohman provided the attractions for 
Proctor's New Theatre in the Metropolis and 
It was in this very house that Frohman made 
his first ten-strike with Shenandoah. • 

It was in the year 1888, however, that Proc- 
tor began to do things along the lines wherein 
he has had his greatest success, for in this 
year he transformed the luxurious theatre on 
23d Street Into a continuous performance es- 
tablishment, opening several months before even 
B. F. Keith began his regime at the Union 
Stiuare Theatre. . Proctor planned his scheme 
on the same lines which served Mr. Keith in 
Boston. Engaging a complete comic opera 
company, to. divide, the. time, with the vaude-" 
vtlle acts. - The new scheme did not prosper 
at the outset, but success came with a vigorous 
impetus when , it did come, and" then Proctor 
built the superb theatre In East .58th Street, 
then called -Proctor's Pleasure Palace. It may 
be here stated that this was the most mag- 
nificent amusement resort New York had ever 
seen. It opened with great - eclat - on Labor 
Day. 1889. -and the opening program Included 
Lockhardt'a Elephants (and they- did create a 
sensational furore); Weber and Fields, Sam 
Bernard, Lottie Gilson, James F. Hoey, J. W. 
Kelly, Blllee Barlow , William T. Carleton, 
the baritone - (who made his vaudeville debut), 
and Lizzie B. Raymond— ye gods, bnt this was 
some show! * 

The prices of admission ranged from 25 
cents to $1.50. The house was packed at 
every performance for -weeks, - and then — well, 
why not confess it — the house failed. Its policy 
changed and changed until' in desperation Proc- 
tor made it a cheap picture-vaudeville resort 
and as such it is an overwhelming success. Oh, 
the pity of it! 

But Proctor himself by no means had failed. 
He pocketed 'his losses on his pet project and 
then he began to expand in other directions un- 
til he controlled a circuit of New York City 
theatres that he may well have been proud of. 
Proctor was the first vaudeville magnate to own 
a chain of theatres outright, la New York City, 
and he also built a vaudeville theatre in New- 
ark, N. J., where bis annual proflts amounted 
to nearly $80,000 for more than ten years. 

It was the great foresight of Mr. Proctor 
that caused the Fifth Avenue Theatre to become 
a vaudeville gold mine and long before he af- 
filiated with Mr. Keith he achieved the most 
remarkable . results In this establishment. 

Five years ago, or at most six. Proctor was 
regarded as a bankrupt by the "know it alls." 
Today he Is Beveral times a millionaire, while 
bis annual profits from his low-priced houses 
alone is nearly $250,000. Think of that ye 
pessimists. I know for -a fact that one of 
Proctor's small- town investments yields him 
$70,000 a year — fancy a manager going into 
a city, of 30,000 population, where no one 
had ever made a theatre pay expenses before 
and where for two years not a single show had 
been given — fancy, I say, a man like Proctor 
going there, installing a picture machine and 
a big electric sign, and playing to weekly gross 
receipts averaging over $2,200 and two-thirds 
of this profit. And yet the same story is to 
be told of a half dozen similar cities of about 
the same calibre. 

It is the genius of Proctor to stick to his 
winners and thus we bave the spectacle of his 
conserving all of his earlier successes and add- 
ing to them yearly. 

F. F. Proctor is a .well-preserved man with 
all of his great . responsibilities. He does not 
worry, and he is the greatest financier the 
theatre has ever known. Others may surpass 
him in spectacular ostentation, bnt in bis quiet, 
unassuming way he gathers In the profits In all 
of his enterprises. In this he is greatly aided 
by his son, F. F. Proctor Jr., who bids fair 
to become a tremendous factor in the next 
generation of the stage. 

Proctor's first wife was Polly Daly, a serlo 
comic colleague of bis acrobatic days. By 
this marriage he had also two daughters, both 
now happily married. The Proctor girls both 
bad fine voices and stage training and wonld 
hflvo been successful had they chosen artistic 
careers. 

In these days of ballyhoo and . "get-there- 
quick" showmen It should be worth while to re- 
cite for the benefit of the modern amusement 
purveyor, the career of such a man as Frederick 
Proctor. There are not many such and it is to 
his credit that though he was born in a very 
precarious period of the theatre and labored in 
a primitive age of achievement, be neverthe- 
less set a pace throughout that may well be 
emulated by those who are now coming promi- 
nently before the pnbllc. as a result of the 
great prosperity of today — a prosperity for 
which we can thank snch men as Proctor, who 
blazed the trail and overcame hardships such 
as are not confronting the men who have 
benefited by his ploneerlsm. 



SUES TO RE-ENTER CLUB. 



New York. July 26 (Special to The Billboard). 
— Richard Barry, who was expelled from the 
Players' Club because of a magazine article he 
wrote, bas applied to Supreme Conrt Justice 
Glegerleh for a mandamus compelling the club 

to reinstate him. Barry's article contained the 
statement that very few persons on tbe stage

PATENTS COMPANY. 



FIVE BOLD BAD KEN. Essanay. Comedy. 
Length 420 feet. Released July 25. 
This Is a very funny story, and is put on in 
an exceedingly hnmorous way. The five bad 
men come to grief through a very amusing In- 
cident planned to meet their blackmailing 
scheme, lue photography is nearly perfect in 
this short film. 

MR. WISE, INVESTIGATOR, Comedy. Length 
500 feet. Same reel as Five Bold Bad 
Men. 

This film pictures a series of comical experi- 
ences befalling' the public investigator during 
the first week of his Investigations. The com- 
edy Is of the broadest type, but is well done, 
and all the scenes are clearly and plainly photo- 
graphed. A shortage of people causes some of 
the cast to appear in two different parts, but 
this is easily overlooked because of the good 
acting on the part of these people. 

MAKING MOTHER OVER. Kalem. Comedy. 
Full length. Released Jnly 19. 
The story in this film Is somewhat long and 
very much drawn out, but possesses merit in 
spite of some of the tiring parts. Tbe plot 
contains very few chances for clever acting, 
and the fact that the action goes as good as it 
does is a credit to the cast. The story itself, 
like most other comedies, Is somewhat shallow, 
although logical. Ihe film falls in the ranks 
of the ordinary run, without any especially 
good or any especially bad points. 

THE RUBBER INDUSTRY ON THE AMAZON. 

Educational. Sellg. Split reel. Released 
July 25. 

-A rather terse and vivid portrayal of a some- 
what simple industry . is herein pictured. The 
simple process of tapping the trees and con- 
gealing the sap Is well shown, the photography 
and method of placing the subjects -before tbe 
camera being well done. .The course' of a lot 
of rubber is traced from tbe tapping of the 
trees to Its shipment to the manufacturer of 
rubber goods. 

THE SHERIFF OF TUOLUMNE. Drama. Same 
- reel as The Rubber Industry on the 
Amazon. 

A rather cleverly plotted story is contained 
In this film, and surely one which Is finely 
acted. The points and turns are somewhat new 
In - plcturedom, as Is likewise the clever acting 
of some of the men of the West. Unfortu- 
nately, tbe direction of tbe production is very 
bad, and the story loses itself unless the most 
minute attention is paid to the faces and cos- 
tumes of the people in tbe play. They all 
dress so much alike that it Is very easy to 
get them mixed. The story contains the claim 
Jumpers, who accused' -the innocent mlneowner 
and the sheriff, all rather old characters, but 
put together In new fashion and in dramatic 
scenes. ■ It is not alone a thrilling tale. The 
photography Is good, and with the fine points 
which appear in the character acting, the fiRn 
will pass as one of the best of Sellg produc- 
tions. 

HER GYPSY RIVAL. Pathe. Drama. Length, 
1.000 feet Released July 19. 
Tbe production of this rather large drama is 
carried out on an extensive scale and with a 
fine regard for scenic effects. The story Is a 
new one, for while it contains many old items 
and themes, .the development and the climax 
are of a new nature. ' The 'fact that the char- 
acters are nqt all kept clear is to the detriment 
of the production, bnt tbe finish la perfectly 
plain, so the earlier parts of tbe story do not 
matter so much. The costuming and scenery 
are beautiful and splendidly photographed. The 
story Is a likely one, and yet one of tbe most 

(Continued on page 50.) 



SALE S COM PANY. 

HIS SON. Reliance. Drama. Full length. 
Released August 5. 
While this film starts with some grewsome 
scenes and with evidences of very poor photog- 
raphy, the production seems to gain in quality 
steadily as It moves along, and end in a very 
dramatic and realistic fashion. Some 'splendid 
work Is done by Waltbal In tbls play, and. In 
fact, It is the best portrayal of this kind of 
character that we bave recollection of seeing. 
The photography also Improves at the finish, 
and clearness and steadiness of objects are 
marked qualities. The story is a hard one to 
play, one reason being that It Is melodramatic, 
and other that it is very old, and unless pre- 
sented In some new sort of style, would be 
bound to lack In Interest. As It stands, the 
acting has been well done with the principals, 
while minor parts are played without any room 
for comment. 

THE MASCOT OF TE00P C. Solax. Drama. 
Full length. 
This is one of the first of tbe new military 
productions the Solax Company bas promised, 
and should the series prove as interesting and 
as well done as this, it bids fair to winning 
popularity. The principals are the mascot, a 
little boy and his companion, both ef whom are 
captured by the Indians and rescued by Company 
C. Considering the age of tbe chief actors, the 
production is splendidly done, and will prove of 
Interest to adults as well as children, although 
it Is primarily a child's film. It is not a war- 
time story, and is thus not to be classed with 
tbe ordinary run of fakey military pictures. 

FOOLSHEAD'S LAST ROGUERY. Itala. Com- 
edy. Full length. Released August 5. 
In tbls film Foolsbead Is seen aa a little boy 
playing some tricks In an electrical laboratory 
which he has been left alone in. He makes 
electrical connections between some source of 
power and different objects, which unsuspect- 
ing people take abold of. While a rather plain 
subject of comedy, the production baa been 
handled In a clever way, and more humor is 
gotten Into the scenes than would be expected. 
Foolsbead Is assisted In bis pranks by a little 
girl — a young lady — who has previously been 
seen in mnch older parts, and her splendid 
characterization of the Juvenile part la a source 
of pleasure throughout the sketch. 

WHEN REUBEN CAME TO TOWN. Solax. 
Comedy. Full length. Released Aug. 2. 
Tbe comedy work In this sketch is not up to 
the standard set by this firm, some very bad 
direction being In evidence. The theme gives 
room for many good points, and while some of 
these are taken at the start, tbe setting soon 
changes, and the old-style European sort of 
comedy prevails. The photography also Is below 
the average of Solax films, tbe blurred appear- 
ance continuing throughout tbe entire film. 
Some of the character work is splendidly done, 
especially In the part of Reuben himself, al- 
though other people portray good parts. 

THE SEA VULTURES. Yankee. Drama. Full 
length. Released July 31. 
The production here is one of mnch action, 
and one pnt on with a great deal ef hard work, 
but the scenes contain very little situation, and 
what does occur In the course of tbe story li 
created entirely by subtitles or plain statements 
that certain situations exist. Thus only the 
basis of a production Is what we bave in the 
film, and should the manufacturers desire to pnt 
out a drama, the completion of tbls film Is one 
place where they could start to work. The i 
selection of scenes In the film, while not an ex- 
traordinarily appropriate group appears, shorn 
that some rather peculiarly formed parts of tbe

WASHI NGTO N, D. C." 

Recently a prominent stationer who handles 
most of the amusement publications In the 
country remarked: "The reason that I like 
The Billboard better than any of the other 
publications devoted to amusements is that 
whenever they get out a special number, which 
la often the ease, they usually charge extra for 
that number. The Billboard, on the other hand, 
no matter how expensive and elaborate the get- 
up may be, never comes a cent higher." 

A riot of no small sized proportions occurred 
at a. popular park near the city last Sunday. 
The mayor of Glen Echo Village, right across 
the line in Maryland, for some reason or other 
-cut off the water supply from the park. When 
the proprietor of the park and. others owning 
concessions protested, the mayor drew his pistol 
.and for a brief period only, for the leading 
spirits got onto the job with a vengeance and by 
the time each man got in his work Mr. Mayor 
was In a sorry plight. On Monday a wholesale 
lot of arrests were made on complaint of the 
mayor. In retaliation a number of warrants 
were sworn ont against the mayor. Hot times 
there Jnst now and the end Is not yet. 

While the riot was in evidence at one place 
a serious fire broke out In the woods adjoining 
another park, that with the Philippine name, 
and but for the united efforts of the entire 
force of employees who formed a volunteer 
fire brigade, and fought the flames with the old- 
time brush method, the place doubtless would 
have been in ruins ere this. Lots of excitement 
at these two places, but we can not tell all. 

A little thrilling incident In the aviation line: 
During a heavy storm a few days ago the 
wind picked up Mr. Atwood's machine, which 
was moored In a supposed safety at Potomac 
Park, and brought It with such force to the 
ground that it was shattered beyond hope of 
repair. AH that it was good for after that 
was for souvenirs, and nearly every part of it 
was carried away by souvenir fiends. At the 
same time an antojnobile that stood close by 
was run Into the river.

will this year become manager of the American 
Theatre here. He has for a number of years 
been a great success at the Imperial. He is a 
thorough theatrical man in all requisites, and his 
duties will give him greater scope in this city 
next season than heretofore. 

Boscoe Buckley, who left the box office of the 
Garrlck Theatre here to become a star among 
actors, is making remarkable strides along -these 
lines as a member of the Suburban Stock Com- 
pany this summer. His winter tour will give 
lim much opportunity for bis herald success. 

Lansdowne Park, In East St. Louis, HI., Is 
bavin" a wonderful successful season. Manager 
Morrison has not been placing the profits In 
chance extra attractions, but relying solely upon 
the regular garden shows, and these being of 
much more class than those of last year, he has 
been rewarded by the increase In attendance that 
will make the garden show a good profit this 
season. WILL J. FARLEY.

JOSEPH GIMSON. 



KANSAS CITY, MO. 

Sunday, July 30, saw a; change in bands at 
Electric Park, Ferullo and his popular band de- 
parting after a month's stay of high-class music 
afforded the Electric Park patrons, and Sorren- 
tlno and his famous Banda Rossa commencing a 
month's engagement, although it Is very prob- 
able that Sorrentlno and the Banda Rossa will 
stay until the close of the park early in Septem- 
ber. This early closing, even If the weather 
should be warm. Is necessitated for reason that 
the park has to be gotten in readiness for the 
Third Annual Missouri Valley Fair, to be held 
at Electric Park the last week of September 
and the first of October. Sorrentlno and the 
Banda Rossa has been engaged for these two 
weeks. This is an extra ' attraction In addition 
to the regular fair exhibits and features. 

After a visit to Electric Park to find out Just 
what appeals most to the public in amusement 
park attractions, It seems difficult to decide. 
Of course, -the music of the delightful bands 
always at Electric Park is a big drawing card 
and probably gets most of the crowd to thi 
park; but after the concert or during Internals 
slon the public demands amusement or "some 
thing to do." The big bathing beach of Electrli 
Park, open from early In tbo morning until II 
o'clock at night, Is at all times well patronized 
and especially during the hot weather. Then Ii 
seems dancing Is a pastimo that never falls t- 
appeal, and the big ballroom at Electric Is ex 
cellent and the music all that one could desire

its watery resting-place he finaiiv succeeded in 
swinging it around to the beach behind Felt-

persons, friends ' or members of the Washington 
■Club, a Democratic organization of the Tenth

A. B. Schwartz is again in ch-trge of this 
thrilling device, in which the passengers are 
enclosed for sake of protection. Abe Cohen 
and James Ford are also employed at this place, 
the latter as spieler. Ford Iraves next week

incidentally spieling away at a nifty clip during 
bis second season, as this happens to be. Eddy

taking the money of those his silvery tongue 
has persuaded to watch the antics of the trained 
Simians on the Inside. Louise Morris officiates 
In this quarter. Louie Gordon has two weigh 
ing scales in opposite sections of the park — one 
under the direction of Leo Glason, the other 
under Buel Jones. At the Virginia Reel, of 
which Rhiel and Kirshoff are owners, we recog- 
nize a cluster of familiar faces. None other 
than E. T. Byrne is handing the business at 
this place, as has been the case for the last 
three years, it might be noted that this show- 
man' is now passing hi3 sixth consecutive season 
at Luna. Last fall be worked for Claude Hagen 
at the Cincinnati Exposition, on the front -X 
the Fire Show, The Sea Nymph attraction and

and Irrigation Show. He expects to be seen 
similarly employed later this year. His wife is 
pianist over in The Sinking of the Maine. At 
this last mentioned theatre H. R. Pierce is 
manager. As a silent, but very effective, bally 
boo stunt, Joe Miller finds ample opportunity of 
gathering a curious crowd by feigning the life- 
less appearance of a granite or marble sailor 
monument. Miller puts over some very clean- 
cut work, the kind that wins many a shekel 
for Manager Pierce's Show. Helen Fltzpatrick 
and Sadie Hubbard are dealing out the tickets 
at the last-mentioned places. Shoot the Chutes 
Is shooting moat successfully under the guidance 
of Nicholas F. Sblndler. The big Scenic Rail-

BALTIMORE'S RIVER VIEW. 



A visit to River View Park In Baltimore re. 
veals a weird and queer sight. A large section 
of the grounds has been transformed into a 
scene that looks as though part of South Africa 
had been moved. A long row of bamboo 
poles surmounted with human heads and deco- 
rated with skins greets the eye. On the In- 
side of this barrier is seen a small village with 
peculiar shaped huts inhabited liy several strange 
looking tribes from the far East. A large ban- 
ner over the entrance indicates that this para- 
phernalia with Its strange people Is the TT-ji-jl 
Village and , it looks It. The gentleman who 
makes the big noise and enlightens the visitors 
with a vivid description of the doings of these 
queer people, is known as I^iwreice Gates and 
after listening to his few remarks the patrons 
can not resist the temptation of passing inside 
to look at an attraction that they so easily 
gave up ten cents to see. 

The show is very Instructive and interesting 
for those who have never ventured Into the wil 
derness and .the nntive games and dances of 
the cannibals is quite a novelty. W. C. 
Huntley is the owner of the aggregation and he 
is delighted with his flrst visit to this park, 
where the thousands of Americans look down 
upon the humanity that hails from the darker 
continents. Russell Start has charge of the 
bunch in the a«-ena and he has them under per- 
fect control. This show is nn excellent attract 
Hon and It is doing well at the park.

called "The Mixer," possibly because those who 
test Its possibilities And themselves in a gen- 
oral mix-up. It Is a big revolving platform in 
a depression, thirty feet In diameter, and on 
which there is room for a aeore of persons. The 
ravldltv of the movement catapults them in 
more or less grotesque positions into a surround- 
ing hollow, tho flooring of which has an odd 
■ttoou-llko effect, where they undergo more gyra- 
tions, to their own amusement and that of the 
onlookers, before they regain their footing on 
more substantial ground. 

The management of Lincoln Park, Worcester, 
Mass.. may be proud of the patronage they are 
receiving this season. The high-class attrac- 
tions offered nave been the means of drawing 
and holding the best class of patronage. The 
Umhrell Theatre, playing J. W. Gorman's vaude- 
ville, Is turning crowds away dally. An illu- 
minated electric car Is run through the main 
streets of the city and attracts a great deal of 
attention. This Is one of the clever, advertising 
schemes of Manager William C. Flemmlng. , Man- 
ager Flemnjlng has Inaugurated several new 
methods for: increasing the patronage, and, with 
the assistance of Bob Clark, there is no reason 
why capacity business should not continue. 

Captain Sidney Hlnman. life saver, wag 
speclallv engaged for two weeks with his Hfe- 
saving dogs, to appear at Young's Million Dol- 
lar Pier, Atlantic City, beginning July 31. The 
captain gives an exhibition of. natation in which 
he demonstrates 25 different ways of swimming. 
His dogs do many clever diving and life-saving 
stents, and on the whole this act is one of the 
best aquatic features ever seen at the seashore 
resort. 

There were thrills a plenty at Maple Bench 
Park the week of July 24. when Manager Car- 
lin presented Mile. Belle la Ponntnlne, In her 
Slide for Life. It is one of the best acts of 
Its kind and heads a strong vaudeville bill, in- 
clnding Woods and Lawson. Hard and Com- 
pany, I-azarlo Trio and . the Three Romans, 
iiusiness continues bleat the pnrk and the con- 
cessions are all well patronized. 

The Fearless Greggs were the free attractions 
at Cook's Park, Evansvllle, Ind., during the 
week of July 24. Their act went big. 

Band concerts are the sole attraction at Oak 
Summit Park, Evansvllle, Ind., this season.

FAIR NOTES. 



The outlook f9r the Maury County Fair to 
be held at Columbia, Tenn., Sept. 5-9, was 
never better, and the association is figuring 
on an unprecedented successful season. Con- 
tracts have been closed with J. A. D. McCurdy 
for aeroplane flights Sept. 5, 6 and 8. In ad- 
dition to this other big attractions Including a 
fireworks exhibition the first night will be 
;iven. The fair draws from a population of 
aiore than one-half million within fifty miles. 

Major C. F, Rhodes, who recently disposed 
of his interests In California Frank's Wild 
West Show, Is In New York City mustering an 
aggregation of Wild West performers . for a 
sood-sized act with which he proposes to tour 
the fairs this fall. Rhodes Is very optimistic 
about his plans for the autumn and, like Fred- 
erick T. Cummins, Intends lying low so as 
to spring his Teal surprise In fitting fashion. 

Frank H. Trafton will play the Wisconsin 
fains this years. He claims to have four stores, 
one of which Is a new one that will open their 
eyes when he springs it.

FAIRS AN D EXP OSITIONS 

Rochester, N. Y., Will Have Big Exposition This Season 
Centennial Celebration at Astoria, Ore., to Be a Fitting 
Tribute to Memory of City's Founder — Fair Notes 



BIG EXPOSITION FOR ROCHESTER 



Rochester. N. Y„ Jnly 28 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — The Executive Committee ot the Ro- 
chester (N. X.) Industrial Exposition Association 
has decided to bold Its exposition this year dar- 
ing: the two weeks beginning September 18, 1911. 

The .Chamber of Commerce of Rochester has 
conducted an annual exposition for the last three 
years, and met with considerable success. Re- 
cently the city came Into possession of forty 
acres of land which bad been used by the Btate 
as a site for Industrial School for the Detention 
of Juvenile Delinquents, the school having been 
removed to a rural community. There were sev- 
eral large buildings on the tract. Those that 
, were adapted for exposition purposes have been 
retained; others have been razed and some new 
ones erected. 

The city charter not allowing the municipality 
to engage in the exposition business, Mayor 
Hiram H. Edgerton organized a private corpora- 
tion, under municipal patronage, composed of 
sepresentatives of tbe public, semi-public, per- 
sonal and business associations of -the city, fol- 
lowing the same line of organization as that of 
the Toronto Exposition. 

It is the Intention to conduct an annual In- 
dustrial Exposition on these grounds similar to 
the Toronto Exposition, and any surplus receipts 
will be turned Into the city treasury. It Is es- 
timated that the plant represents an outlay of 

teoo.ooo. 

There wIH be outdoor concerts by famous bands 
and free outdoor attractions, besides various con- 
cessions. 

The exposition conducted by the Chamber of 
Commerce was confined exclusively to Rochester- 
made goods, but it bas been decided by the Ex- 
position Association to throw Its doors wide open 
to manufacturers everywhere. 

The secretary and manager of the association 
la Edgar F. Edwards, with offices at Nob. 711- 
712 BUwanger & Barry Building, Rochester, 
N. S". 



THE ASTORIA CENTENNIAL. 



Great preparations are being made by the com- 
mittee In charge of the Astoria, Ore., Centen- 
nial Celebration which will be held Aug. 10 to 
Sept. 9. The celebration will be one in which 
such well-known American captains of Industry 
and finance aa Col- John Jacob As tor, descendant 
of the founder of Astoria, will participate. 

Colonel Astor has sent to tbe Centennial Cele- 
bration a check of $10,000 to be added to the 
entertainment fund In honor of his illustrious 
great-grandfather. This money, together with 
an additional amount Is being expended for 
the erection of the beautiful Astor Monument 
which will be a thing of beauty and a work of 
art. 

Electric illumination of Astoria win make the 
night aa bright as the day. Thousands of unique 
electrical Illumination lights, clusters and 
arches will lead tbe way to every point and 
street. 

No one can afford to miss the Astoria Centen- 
nial Celebration, as It is the first event of this 
kind held In the Pacific Northwest since tbe 
Historical X^wte &. Clark Exposition, and '-It 
differs In manv resnects to anything of a similar 
nature ever undertaken. 



BIG APPLE SHOW PLANNED. 



Washington, D. C. July 26 (Special to Tbe 
Billboard). — The Maryland-Virginia Apple Show 
will be held this year for one week, November

appliances. 

There will be addresses on subjects, vital to 
orchardists, each day by men prominent In hor- 
ticultural work, and liberal cash premiums and

handsome prizes will be offered for the best 
exhibits in each class. 

The railroads have given assurance that a 
low excursion rate will be put on during that 
week and It Is confidently expected that this 
apple show will surpass any ever held In this 
country. 

VAUDEVILLE AT WORCESTER 
FAIR. 

Worcester, Mass., July 23 (Special to The 
Billboard ") .-—Special arrangements are being 
made by the Worcester Agricultural Society 
for vaudeville attractions of a high order at 
their coming New England Fair. 

Leander F. Herrick has been looking over 
the New York Hippodrome attractions with tbe 
result that he expects to engage several hip- 
podrome attractions for the fair, Sept. 4 to 6. 
It will be the first time these show numbers 
have been seen in America, outside of the .hip- 
podrome. F. S. Peer of Ithaca, N. Y., who 
is now in England, has cabled the committee 
that he will exhibit at the fair a fine collec- 
tion of Suffolk punch horses which come from 
the old carriage stock long used in England. 

PLANS FOR INTERNATIONAL EX- 
POSITION IN JAPAN. 



The Bulletin Commercial (Brussels) states, 
on the authority of the Belgian consulate gen- 
eral at Yokohama, that the committee of the 
international exhibition to be held at Tokyo 
in 1917, has opened a competition for the gen- 
eral plan of the exhibition Installations. One 
prize of 3,000 yen (t 1,600), two of 2.000 yen 
($1,000), and three of 1,000 yen ($500) may 
be given. Foreigners may compete. Proposals 
will be received np to September 30 next at the 
office of the Grand Japanese Exhibition, De- 
partment of Agriculture and Commerce, Kobl- 
klcho, Kyobasbi-Ku, Tokyo. 

CHINA AT PANAMA CANAL CELE- 
BRATION. 



Representative of practically an the commer- 
mercial organizations of the Chinese Empire, Ho 
In and Tse Sheung, millionaire merchants of 
Hongkong, arrived In San Francisco recently to 
Investigate and report upon the Panama-Pacific 
Exposition. 

The report of the two Chinese merchant 
princes will, in a measure, decide the magnitude 
of the display to be exhibited In 1915 by. the 
commercial organizations of the Flowery King- 
dom. 



FARMERS TO AID FAIR. 



Jonesboro, Ark.. July 26 (Special to The 
Billboard). — The county local of the State 
Farmers' Union Is to meet at the Craighead 
County Court House to consider its participa- 
tion In the proposed county fair. The Business 
Men's - Club of this city has made an offer of 
$500. and ask for a similar offering from the 
farmers' organization. 



FAIR NOTES. 



The Barnes County Fair. Valley City, N. D.. 
had a very successful season this year, al- 
though tbe receipts have not yet reacbed the 
point where the gate receipts alone win bring 
it out on tbe right side of tbe ledger. How- 
ever, the Fair Association have other sources 
of Income' which will make it possible to build 
up one of the very best county fairs in this 
part of the country. This year the fair man- 
agement attempted a big thing in giving, tbe 
people a four days' exhibition of aeroplane 
flights by "Lucky Bob" St. Henry, represent- 
ing the Curtiss Exhibition Company. Everyone 
was more than pleased with these, and it is 
safe to say that a return date would bring 
out just as good crowds as the initial appear- 
ance of a flying machine in Barnes County. 
The shows for the midway and the free at- 
tractions were furnished by the Twin City 
Amusement Company, and pleased most of tbe 
people. Next year the best in the way of 
shows under canvas and free attractions will 
do well to get into communication with tbe 
fair management early, for the directors are 
determined to have none but tbe best. The ex- 
hibits in all departments showed a considerable 
Increase this year over former years, indicat- 
ing a growing interest In tbls side of the fair. 

The 68th Annual Rockland County Fair will 
be held at Orangeburc. N. Y., Sept. 4. 5, 6, 7 
and 8, 1911, day and night, under tbe direc- 
tion of the Rockland County A. & H. Associa- 
tion. This Association is one of the oldest and 
most successful fair bodies In New York State 
and owns Its own grounds and buildings, con- 
sisting of 36 acres valued at over $60,000. Th» 
average daily attendance at this fair, in good 
weather is 10,000 and the management is look- 
Ic;r forward to an exceptionally prosperous 
year this fall. Liberal racinjr purses and uni- 
form fair treatment and courtesy to all comers 
has secured for this association an enviable 
position among county fairs. Its grounds are 
but 20 miles from New York City on two rail- 
roads and the principal highways all connect 
with the grounds, including a fine state road. 
Many Improvements and great preparations are 
being made for the fair this year and with 
fair weather it promises to rank as heretofore 
among the largest and best of New York County 
Fairs. 

Tbe Winnebago County Fair, to be held at 
Belolt, Wis., Augnst 29-31-September 1, promises 
to be a fine event. It bas the unique feature of 
being an Illinois show, conducted by Wisconsin 
men. Belolt Is one tbe north side of the Wis- 
consin-Illinois line, while the fairgrounds are 
Just across in Illinois. Men from the latter 
state were elected ostensible directors, while 
those really behind the venture are Wisconsin 
business men. Arrangements are already made 
with the Curtiss airship people for two dally

IN THE ARENIC WORLD 

Bay City, Mich., Will Not Allow Sunday Shows, Even When 
Given Under Charitable Auspices — Cel. Bogardus 
Finds Champion in Capt Folger 



8UNDAY SHO W NO T ALLOWED. 

Bay City, Mich., July 31 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — The 101 Ranch Wild West Show did not 
give a Sunday show here, and because It did not, 
there is trouble in the rank and file of the poli- 
ticians of the city and county. The fact that 
no performance was given is almost unanimously 
assigned to political capital. Mayor Woodruff, 
who Is at the head of the city's government, is 
broad-minded, and if it had been in his power 
entirely, the Wild West Show would have been 
welcomed, but Sheriff Kenney, whose conscience 
suddenly became active and who did not want 
the mayor to have all of the glory, said that no 
performance should be given. The 101 Ranch 
executives did not want to antagonize either the 
city or county officials, so cancelled their Sunday 
date, July 30. 

It was not the intentions of the 101 Ranch 
to give their performances In this city for the 
purpose of enriching their coffers. Every cent 

that was taken in was to be donated to the suf- 
ferers from the recent forest fires in this section. 
The whole world knows that the sufferers need 
It Edward Arlington, in behalf of the Miller 
Brothers .and Arlington, the owners of the 101 
; Ranch Wild West Show, as soon as he learned 
of the burning down of Oscola, sent one of his 
agents in here and laid before the mayor the 

g reposition, whereby the performances were to 
ave been given last Sunday and the entire re- 
ceipts turned over to the city for distribution 
among the many who lost their ail by the fire. 



Should the 101 Ranch ever visit this city in the 
future, they would not be able to take care of 
the people that by attendance would show how 
well they were in favor of the Sunday perform- 
ances for the sufferers from the fire. Both this 
city and Saginaw have been working hard for 
the unfortunate ones, and the action of Sheriff 
Kenney is looked upon as a direct block to the 
efforts they have been making. 

WAS NOT AN IM POSTER. 



St. Louis, Mo., July 21, 1911. 
Editor The Billboard: — 

Referring to the notice in last week's Bill- 
board, stating that Col. C. A. Bogardus of 
Springfield, Mo., was an Imposter, would like 
to set you right in this matter as that state- 
ment was entirely untrue. 

Col. C. A. Bogardus never tried In any way, 
shape or form, to pass himself or put any- 
one under the impression that he was Capt, A. 
H. Bogardus. He billed himself as Col. C. A. 
Bogardus, the champion rifle shot of the world 
(which he was), and stood ready and did defend 
this title at any and all times. We. the un- 
dersigned, were partners with Col. C. A. Bo- 
gardus in the Golden Rule Shows for over three 
years, therefore, know the above statement to 
the true facts. 

Col. C. A. Bogardus was a man with the high- 
est standard of morals and education and held 
the highest esteem of all those with whom he 
came in contact. 



SANGER'S COMBINED SHOWS ATTACHES ON A FROLIC. 




The accompanying Illustration was taken at a picnic given by members of the Sanger's Combined 
Shows at New Harmony, Ind., June 4. 



The mayor thought most favorable of the prop- 
osition, and informed the Wild West agent that 
he stood ready to assist them In any and every 
possible way. He unhesitatingly complimented 
Messrs. Miller Brothers and Arlington for their 
generosity and expressed a willingness that they 
give a silent street parade in this city preceding 
the performances. 

The show lot was situated outside of the city 
limits, and while the city had no jurisdiction 
over it, no one thought for a moment that there 
would be any objection from the county. In 
fact. Sheriff Kenney was the contract liveryman 
and signed the contract for the billing of the 
show, and knew when he did that It was for a 
Sunday show. It was not until he learned that 
Mayor Woodruff was fathering the project to 
raise money for the sufferers that he offered any 
objections. He saw new laurels being added to 
the mayor's popularity, and then he decided that 
such performances would be wrong, and put down 
his foot good and plenty and refused to allow 
them. He became a defender of the county's 
moral in a night. However, he reckoned wlthont 
his host, and his stand against the charitable 
performances, instead of winning him popularity, 
is meeting with the most severe condemnation 
from all sides. It Is estimated that the fund 
would have benefited several thousand dollars, 
and in addition to this, Edward Arlington per- 
sonally pledged $500. The Bay City people, 
have worked bard for the people who suffered 
from the fire and gladly welcomed the offer of 
the show. Now they are sore, and it Is Sheriff 
Kenney who comes in for their censure. So sore 
are they that they will take action to compel 
the sheriff to show just what he considers moral- 
ity, and will insist upon the closing of all the- 
atres, moving picture houses and the stopping of 
all ball games in the county on Sunday. Sheriff 
Kenney has. in all probabilities. lost another 
chance to. become a hero, and what he thought 
would win him votes, has lost them for him. 

The lot Ranch had done some country and 
town billing, but when the sheriff's attitude be- 
came known to the show, they immediately got 
busy and covered all of the Bay City billing with 
their date for Saginaw. The show was very ma- 
terially benefited financially by the stand Sheriff 
- Kenney took, for the people of this city fairly 
flocked Into Saginaw Saturday to see the show, 
and at the same time tell the snow people that 
they were not in accord with the stand taken by 
the sheriff. The business done by the 101 Ranch 
In Saginew was the largest in that city's history. 



We were very much grieved when we learned 
of the death of our old friend and partner, as 
he was in a position to reap the results of a 
well-spent life, and it seems to us that he 
should have been spared to his family and 
many friends for a cood number of years. 

Trusting that you will see to the correction 
of the error in last week's issue, we are, 

CAPT. A. E. FOLGER, 
better known as Whale Oil Gus. and partner.

FIRE VISITS HATCH SHOW. 



South Bend, Ind., July 22 (Special to The 
Billboard). — A fire occurred on the show train 
belonging to the J. Frank Hatch Water Circus 
and Allied Shows, while it was on its way 
from Marion, O., to this city on Sunday last. 
A wagon carrying the paraphernalia for the 
merry-go-round caught fire through the careless- 
ness of an employee and several of the chariots 
and jumping horses were destroyed before the 
blaze could be extinguished. The fire was 
first noticed by William Allen, the trainmaster 
of the shows, who promptly stopped the train, 
and with the help of some of the canvasmen se- 
cured water and quickly extinguished the 
flames.

ECHOES FROM THE HATCH SHOW 

Onr South Bend week was, perhaps, the blg- 
- M t and certainly the most pleasant week of 
the season, playing, as the show was, under 
ISe auspices of the Per Se Club, a social or- 
ganization, which boasts among Its members the 
mavor the city controller, the county auditor, 
the chief of police and a number of other local 
notables The show was located on a loTely flat 
"ru<s plot, with a few blocks of the cl* • court 
house and In the midst of a densely populated 
region, the Inhabitants of which appeared to 
noasess ample means. All of the shows were 
well patronized and the privileges all got their 
share of the business. The Water Circus was 
the main feature, and played to capacity all 
the wees. The La Rose Electric Fountain also 
Droved a big drawing card, and business kept 
both ticket sellers and takers on the hustle all 
the time. George la Hose Is to be compli- 
mented upon the business-like and methodical 
ways of running his show, which is certainly 
one of the finest under canvas attractions which 
ever graced a midway. 

Great preparations are being; made for the 
Ms state fairs, and the publicity department 
has been hard at It ever since the show left 
Kew York State. New paper is being gotten 
out for the water show, most of Its pictorial 
lithographic work for posters and window work. 
The pictures show the water show as it is, with 
figures rciiresentatlve of swimmers, divers, water 
walkers, log rollers, aquatic pantomlmists, with 
a scene showing the famous disappearing ballet, 
which Is the one big features of the show. 

Several new swimmers have Just Joined the 
show. These include Harry Bastings of Lon- 
don. Eng.; Marion Castle and Jennie Ross, both 
of Liverpool, Eng.. and William Klein, late In- 
structor of natation at the big Pittsburg Nata- 
torium. 

Among the recent visitors to the Hatch Shows 
were: W. H. Rice, general agent, Herbert H. 
Kline Shows, George Hull of South Bend; John 
Johnson, of Monitor & Merrlmac fare, this sea- 
son with the Patterson Shows; Jack Singer of 
Sew York, and Arthur hosenberger, of the 
Fainting the Town Company, 

Jos. J. Conley, general superintendent of the 
shows, has Just returned from a trip to Des 
Moines and Minneapolis, where he has arranged 
tor the diggings of the excavations on the fair 
grounds, to be used for the water circus, which 
is to be the main amusement feature at the big 
state fairs this season. 

MIckle O'Brien, assistant press representative 
and the familiar little hustler on the big elec- 
trical candy, wheel, closed, with ns at .South 
Bend and has gone - to New York to rehearse 

with the Ross Sydell's London Belles. MIekie 
was a great favorite here, and will be much 
missed by her admirers, wbo were legion. Vio- 
let Muleahy will also miss ber pal and helpmate 
on the big* flashy white wheel. Violet, who Is 
another highly respected member of the female 
contingent with the show. Intends to work alone 
on the wheel for the balance of the season.

formances. Bay City felt hurt because the 101 
Ranch was not permitted to show there on Sun- 
day for the benefit of sufferers, and showed their 
disapproval by flocking In here. Sheriff Kenney, 
wbo prohibited the benefit performances, haB 
placed himself in bad, and where he thought he 
would gain politically, has lost. Mayor Wood- 
ruff of Bay City Is receiving unlimited credit for 
trying to have the performances given. It Is 
feared that the stand taken by the sheriff will 
result In stopping all Sunday amusements in Bay 
City and the county in which it Is situated.

REYNOLDS AND DONEGAN. 




The subjects of this sketch, Earl Reynolds, and his charming wife, Nellie Donegan. having 
established a reputation as premier fancy skaters of America, nave for the past twelve months 
been in Europe, where they have been a sensational hit at the large music halls In England, Ger- 
many, France and other provincial cities. At present they are in the states, playing vaudeville. 
They have a long list of engagements to fill on the other side, and will return after playing sev- 
eral months in America. 



mond the tide Is about the same, season after 
season. 

The above briefly stated facts are given with 
the view of driving home the fact that roller 
skating can be taken ont of the fad class and 
by careful and proper attention and manage- 
ment be established as a permanent continual 
and paying' 'high-class business investment. , 

The management of tbe Coliseum anticipate 
the coming season will be fully up to, if not 
above the average in interest. - The great det- 
riment to roller skating has been the skate 
erases, . as .so many rush into both the rlnking 
and manufacturing ends of the business, look 
only to the immediate dollar, and without a 
care or thought for the permanency of the busi- 
ness as a business. . . 

The writer is glad to note the absence of the 
"crane or fad" feature the past few seasons, 
and is pleased with the present normal and 
healthy interest and looks forward to a suc- 
cessful and paying coming' season for es- 
tablished and properly managed rinks, and a 
reasonably fair business for the manufacturers.

CARN IVAL N EWS 

Memphis Citizens Preparing to Celebrate Carnival of Larger 
Proportions than Any in the South, Excepting Famous 
New Orleans Mardi Gras— Notts 



MEMPHIS CARNIVAL. 

Memphis. Tenn., July 29 (Special to The Bill- 
board).— Preparations are under way for the 
great fall carnival, which will he Riven In 
September In connection with the ten days 
Trl-State Fair. The carnival will last for 
three days, and will r-mboltae the life of De 
Soto, the discoverer of the Mississippi River. 
.More than 100 floats are being built, and the 
event promises to be the greatest ever given In 
the South, outside of the famous Sew Orleans 
Marill Gras. 

A TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD. 

A tribute of respect was paid at the grave 
of Henry IiObberecht, better known as "Hcln- 
nle." bv the members of the Wortham & Allen 
United 'Shows at Keokuk, Iowa, July SO. The 
members of the show wended their way to the 
cemetery with Swings' Band playing several 
brumal selections. Walter Stanley placed a 
current issue of The Billboard at the head or 
the grave. Dr. Randall rendered a very ap- 
propriate address, closing with the Lord's 
Praver. assisted by all members present. The 
band played Nearer My God to Thee, and also 
sung by all members. 

Henry Ijobberecbt was born In Holland, and 
came to this country when quite young. Being- 
of a musical nature, and having an Inclination 
to wander, be soon Joined a traveling show. He 
drifted from show to show, and finally organized 
a German band, gaining quite a reputation as 
Holnule's German Band. He was married in the 
tW's and had two girls, bis wife and children 



same night and began to take down without 
taking In one cent. 

Next morning (Saturday) was told to hire 
two policemen, which was done, and a ¥70 run 
made. On Sunday night the outfit was loauel 
and started with three of us In the car with 
consent and knowledge of the railroad agent. 
Then comes Mr. Transferman and attaches the 
outfit. Mr. R. R. Agent gets busy and wires the 
road detective, who comes down and handcuff-* 
the bunch and It's jail for us. The cost of the 
attachment was $7.00. The "crime" of be- 
ing In our car was settled out of court and we 
got oft" at the "modest" sum of $40.00 each. 

My conclusion is thus: The transfer man's 
friend was sure of the "cost," and for this rea- 
son no demand was made for his money, but an 
eye. kept on us to see that we didn't get off 
without the "cost." Nothing was done in a 
legal way. We were simply held up and suc'j 
has been the experience of others who have 
gone there. I write this for the sole purpose o-' 
saving some one else trouble, as I am con- 
vinced no square deal will be given you in 
Rome. Ga., so long as there is something else 
to hand out. B. P. PARKER, 

of Parker & Beattte, Merry-go-round Men.

Finally a stranger offered for the sum of 
one thousand guilders to clear the place of ver- 
min. The stranger was a piper, and the music 
he played lured the rats to the river, where 
they plunged in and were drowned. The piper 
demanded bis pay, but the city rulers told the 
piper to take fifteen guilders and begone. But 
the piper had his pipe left, and played another 
tune; this time it was the children who fol- 
lowed blm. They marched out of the city be- 
hind him. and the citizens awoke to find that 
all their homes were desolate. One version of

Just a word about this drama of the Redman. Do not confuse it with the ordinary Indian' picture — not insipid Wild West melodrama, but a correct, faithful and 
educational treatment of the American Indian. A chance to learn the former inhabitant of this continent as he really was. The bravery of his character fittingly 
exemplified and brought to a climax by his rescuing catch of a girl precipitated over a cliff into a chasm forty feet below — an actual fall, not a dummy — replete 
with the thrill of realism ^

THE NEW SIMPLEX PROJECTING 
MACHINE WEL L NAMED. 

The now motion picture projection machine, 
as manufactured by the Multlspeed Shutter 
Company or the new company which will be 
formed and known as the Precision Machine 
Lompany. is by far tho simplest machine yet 
put on the market. It Is called The Simplex. 
Ji !1? warrants Its name from Its construc- 
tion. The machine is a patent and a perfec- 
tion of older appliances made by Messrs. 
tortor an a Cannock, well-known men in the 
motion picture business. The idea was con- 
ceived by these two gentlemen many years 
"«° jnd only recently put Into concrete form 
and the new company started. 
..T™ Weatest item of Interest abont the ma- 
chine is the ease with which all the adjust- 
ments can bo made. All are arranged to be 
made by the left hand, so that the right la 
jert free for cranking. Two especially notable 
features In this line art the adjustment of the 
™ u, ** r f™m the back of the head while the 
machine 1b In motion ond the focusing or ar- 
rangement of "the lenses by a wheel handle. 
Si 80 .,, to ."»<* of the head. The adjustment 
?. — e B, . m '. or tn * "framing," as It Is called, 
is i accomplished tn a much different manner than 
S? *°* ordinary machine, as tbe film alone is 
moved and the main body of the apparatus 

S? stationary. 
.n-J" carD on adjustments are simple and of 
«nch a nature that all angles of the carton can 
nf— wltn TPferroce to top and bottom 

R™\ "bile the whole lamp can be tilted and 
turned so as to obtain the most light from 



the flame. Like a few other machines, the 
carbon-holders and, In fact, the whole lamp 
can be pulled out of the lamp frame so that 
any change of carbons necessary can be made 
with the greatest ease and without any danger 
of burning tbe operator's hands or otherwise 
Injuring him. The carbon-holders are so ar- 
ranged '.that the expansion which takes place 
upon tbelr becoming heated will have a ' ten- 
dency to tighten up on the carbons and hold 
them tighter, instead of loosening them as 
would be the case with an ordinary aperture 
and set-screw. A lever device causes this. 

The machine Is built with double-size film 
magazines, so that practically two thousand 
feet of film can be run off as one' reel..: By a 
slot device extending .along the path' of the film 
It is possible to remove tbe entire film when 
only half of it Is wonnd through. A two-sub- 
ject reel can then be used to show as one 
subject only and no inconvenience will be ex- 
perienced in getting the dead subject off the 
.machine. 

The friction take-up Is propelled by a belt 
directly attached to the crank-shaft so that all 
undue friction on the gearing is removed, the 
winding apparatus and gears having only to 
space the pictures . and- turn the shutter. 

The fllekerless picture for which the machine 
is noted Is gained by means of a double-speed 
shutter. The same is entirely enclosed, al- 
though tbe hood can be removed- if desirable, 
so that no Injury can result from Its motion. 
Tbe whole .'gearing, in fact. Is' enclosed, so 
that the machine is practically noiseless, and 
any fire which might occur from the excessive 
heat of the lamp would be entirely kept Within 
the case and: no one, except tha operator; would 
be aware of it. The film is of course protected 
by the sliding door between It and tbe lamp, 
tbe door being automatic in action, according 
to the speed of the film. 

An adjustable stereopticon lens holder is at- 
tached, to the side of the head, the same being 
easily swung aside when it is desired to in- 
spect the gearing. It is also adjustable for- 
ward and backward, so that the proper focus 
can always be obtained. 

The entire machine is "built with heavy parts 
solidlv put together and without any sparing 
of shop expense when the quality of the pic- 
ture on the screen is at stake. The base Is 
one solid Iron stand and forms a solid foun- 
dation upon which the machine can be swung 
and tilted in all directions, go that It Is ade- 
quate for any kind of theatre and booth and 
can easily be gotten at should repairs be nec- 
essary either to the machine or other apparatus 
In the booth and near the machine. The lamp- 
house and frame swing on a centering device, 
Instead of sliding from side to side, and In 
all, the machine is well called "The Simplex."

dramatic Imaginable. The kidnaped Mexican 
girl returning to her home sixteen years after 
ber departure and there creating such a stir as 
to be ejected, but brought back through a very 
accidental occurrence, is the basis of the story, 
and it is bnilt up and developed In a magnifi- 
cent way and made Intensely interesting. 

HERRING FISHING OFF BOULOGNE. Pathe. 
Scenic, length, 3S5 feet. Released July 
24. 

The scenes In this film give a close view of 
some strenuous work on the part of the herring 
fishermen, and they are all well photographed. 
A close and realistic view of a very rough sea 
Is also contained in the film, showing the fishing 
Beet tossed about. The photography is clear 
and finely toned here also. This Is one of the 
better of scenic films.

earth have been taken advantage of. Not that 
they suit the play at all, but the fact that the 
producer .should use an odd scene, shows that 
be has a desire to treat his audiences or the 
public to something out of the ordinary. 

THE EVENING BELL. Itala. Drama. Full 
length. Released August 3. 
With an ordinary production of this play so 
"mushy" an effect would have been gotten as 
to Tender the film ridiculous, but in this case 
the action is handled so carefully that this 
effect Is done away with. As presented, the 
play Is dramatic and highly artistic. The parts 
seem to be played with a great deal of earnest- 
ness, while the staging and directing otherwise 
Is carefully done. : 

THE NEW COWBOY. Bison. Western Comedy. 
Full length. 
The story In this film is not the best of Bison 
stories, nor Is it at all a possible one. The 
attempted kidnaping and forceful marriage of a 
young lady, with the rescue, form the chief 
dramatic Incidents of the play, and are not 
especially thrilling or funny. Some new scenes 
for the setting prove Interesting.

To Every Exhibitor in 
the United States 



DEAR SIR: 



New York, July 27, 1911 



It has come to our knowledge that numerous suits have beea brought in different parts of the country against 
exhibitors upon the Latham Loop Patent No. 707934 and ihe Pross Patent No. 722382 (for the Pross Revolving 
Shutters), and that other suits may possibly be begun against, other exhibitors. There is nothing in these suits that need 
alarm any exhibitor. The Trust gains no legal advantage whatever from beginning these numerous suits or from prose- 
cuting them. There is already a suit pending on the Latham loop patent, in which testimony is being taken and which 
suit we are defending. We have every reason to expect a decision in our favor in this suit, and that will conclusively 
settle all of the suits now brought or being brought. The Trust recognizes this and is endeavoring before a decision 
against it to try to scare the timid exhibitors and those unacquainted with the facts into signing contracts with it to use 
only Trust films. It is a bluff pure and simple. The Pross patent has not been sustained, and no injunction can be 
granted upon it until the end of one of the suit* now begun, and that will be a long time in the future. We have com- 
plete and adequate defenses to this patent. The fact that the Trust or its predecessor in interest has owned this patent 
for eight years without beginning suit is a pretty good defense in and of itself alone that the patent is worthless, and that 
suit is brought upon it only as a last resort and as a bluff. We are prepared to defend the Latham suit and will defend 
it, and will defend the Pross suit and will protect our customers. 

We have received information that in a number of cases where suits have been begun against exhibitors, the 
serving of papers has been shortly followed by a visit from a representative of the Trust who has made incorrect and 
misleading statements with reference to the effect of the commencement of the suit, 'and with reference to the cost of 
procedure of such a suit, and who has with the aid of such misleading representations endeavored to persuade or intimi- 
date the exhibitor into signing a long-term contract with the Trust. We would ask you to report to us a full and accurate 
report of any conversation or correspondence between yourself or your representative and any representative of the Trust, 
if any occurs with reference 1o such a suit. For your information we may state that where papers are served upon you 
of commencement of suit under such patents for an alleged patent infringement, and require that you personally appear 
before the judges of the court on a given day, such requirement is in fact entirely satisfied by a formal letter from attorneys 
that they appear to represent you, and that there is a month after such date of appearance before even any pleading 
whatever need be filed in your behalf, and that the trial itself will not come until a long lime afterwards, perhaps a year 
or more, if ever. We make this statement because we have been informed that exhibitors have been led to believe by 
statements of the representatives of the Trust that the appearance in court must be a personal one on the date named in 
the papers served upon the defendant, and that by that date it would be necessary for the defendant to be ready to try 
his case ; but, as before explained, this is wholly untrue. 

You need not be at all alarmed over the suit if one is brought against you, and if you will furnish us, through your 
exchange, the information we need, and send us, through them, the papers that have been served upon you, or any that 
are served upon you in the future, we will have our attorneys enter an appearance in your behalf and file an answer for 
your protection. You need not take any further trouble than giving us the necessary data and keeping us apprised of any 
papers that may be served upon you. 

Yours faithfully, 

Motion Picture Distributing and Sales Co.

Fair, day and night, and eleven weeks of Southern Fairs to follow. Now look here, some of the 
wise ones predicted that we wouldn't last a month, but we have been going all season, and have 
only bad one bad week, and we have more new canvas, more new fronts, and have made more 
money than any show that has played Pennsylvania. WE WANT A FLEA CIRCUS AND OLD 
PLANTATION; must have good outfits. SECRETARIES OF SOUTHERN FAIRS, get In touch with 
us, as we are making Big Ones ont of every one we play. Read what HON. JUDGE ROBINSON, 
of. Wheeling. W. Va., says: 
Manager Krause Greater Shows: 

Dear Sir: — Upon behalf of myself and the Wheeling Playgrounds Association. I desire to 
thank- you for the kindly, honest and courteous treatment accorded the Wheeling Playgrounds As- 
sociation by yon and your associates during your recent engagement in this city. We are glad 
to say that your liberal contract with this Association was carried out on yonr part in every 
particular, and quite a handsome snm was realized for our organization. It was especially 
gratifying to do business with you, as we found that yon were always alert to further our 
Interests, rather than your own, and, "as a consequence, business relations were most cordial, 
there being at no time the slightest pretext for any complaint or objection on our part. Only the 
most favorable comment was heard for your exhibition, and It was the consensus of opinion of 
all that it was the cleanest and best exbibition of Its kind that ever played in this city or 
vicinity. All of the shows were of especial merit, the concessions were novel, interesting and 
legitimate, and everyone connected with the show was of respectable appearance, and their con- 
duct of a genteel nature, and at no time during tbe week's engagement was there any trouble or 
disorder on the show grounds of any kind whatsoever. I am happy to say that by reason of the 
excellence of your show, and the satisfaction and enthusiasm with which same was received, the 
Playgrounds Association has realized a handsome sum of money, and we hope that we may soon 
again have the pleasure of having you exhibit in this city under our auspices. Thanking yon 
again for the kind and courteous treatment received at yo ur bands, and wishing you success, 
I remain. Very respectfully yours, JUDGE ALAN H. ROBINSON, 

Chairman Amusement Committee Wheeling Playgrounds Association. 

Here Is what tbe Chief of the Fire Department at New Kensington has to say: 
Mr. Ben Krause, Manager Krause Greater Shows: 

Dear Sir: — We take great pleasure in writing this unsolicited letter of commendation of tbe 
Kranse Greater Shows. Our town has been closed to anything of this kind for years, and to get 
permission for the Krause Greater Shows to appear here for the week of July 7 to 22, 1911, it was 
necessary for us to send a number of the Borough Officials to New Castle,^ Pa., where yon were 
then, showing, that they might investigate the character of the exhibition. ~ During the week the 
Krause Greater Shows exhibited here, you were under the most rigid inspection by a community 
skeptical towards tented shows of any kind, and the verdict is unanimous In your favor. Yon 
may" be assured of a; hearty welcome in New Kensington whenever you. can arrange to revisit our 
city. The management of the Kranse Greater Shows is especially to be commended for their 
untiring efforts to conduct a combination of shows In such a clean, moral and up-to-date manner. 
Wishing yon continued success, and hoping yon will find it convenient to visit us again In the 
near future, we are, .-" Very truly yours, 

F. M. WELCH, Chief of Nos. 1, 2 and 3 Vol. Fire Co.'s.

Basque Quartet. 

Position No. 6 was filled by Ethel Conrad, of 
whom we have already made mention. Harry 
Breen, who followed her, elicited several laughs, 
yelling "Lillian, where art thooi" referring to 
the missing Lillian Graham. Breen seems to be 
a favorite at Hammerstein's, having appeared 
there on several occasions within a short period 
of time. He scored his usual success. 

The Three Yoscarys, comedy acrobats, closed 
the first half of the program. The list of comedy 
acrobats In vaudeville is a lo*— one, but the Yos- 
carys stand pretty well at the top of the number. 

Since the Konera Brothers, who opened the 
second portion of the show, appeared hereabouts 
some time ago, they have made many changes in 
their novelty hoop rolling and dlabolo spinning 
offering.. The changes are much for the better. 
The finish, that of spinning dlabolos. which are 
illuminated with torch-like effect. Is a clever get- 
away bit. 

Ben Welch caused many a laugh with his 
Hebrew comicalities, winding up with his Italian 
character number. Buth St. Denis, following 
bim, went big. as previously related. 

Back once more to the "Corner" for a two 
weeks' engagement, Bedlnl and Arthur burlesqued 
Buth St. Denis as only Bedlnl and Arthur can. 
The takeoff is a scream. 

Kashiina (reviewed under New Acts) closed the 
snow. -■- 



hand, he compels Mrs. Peck to permit him to 
go out occasionally with the boys and to join 
a club. She Is only too willing to accede, and 
throws herself into Henry Peck's arms. In 
doing this, the gun which Henry Peck holds in 
his band (and with which he covered Gayboy 
in their prearranged hero scene) is discharged, 
Gayboy, realizing bis escape, with a frightened 
look hurries from the room. The piece is played 
by Lincoln Plummer as Gayboy. Maurice Cass 
as Air. Henry Peck, and Mabel Florence as Mrs. 
Henry Peck. All of them do very good work. 

KATIYAMA, Hand Writing; 18 minutes; full 
stage. Fifth Avenue Theatre. - 
Kajlyama Is again back In New York doing 
practically the same act which he has been pre- 
senting all over the country during the last 
two years. His corps of assistants has been 
increased to the number of three, one of them a 
girl. Neither of the three takes any real part 
n the act. Kajlyama writes upside-down, back- 
ward— in fact, in almost every conceivable way. 
The time consumed In - going through the act 
Is rather long, although the Fifth Avenue audi- 
ence on Tuesday night seemed interested through- 
out. Kajlyama Is a wizard in his line of 
work, which,, for stage purposes, is a novelty. 

GILBERT LOBEE, Triple-voiced Singer; 16 min- 
utes; full stage. Fifth Avenue Theatre. 
Losee was formerly a member of Lew Dock- 
stader's company of * minstrels. His essay In 
the field of vaudeville should be crowned with 
success. Possessed of a splendid voice, used 
with discretion and intelligence, and having a 
repertoire of numbers that can hardly be im- 
proved upon, Losee has requisites that should 
help him reach the top rung -of the ladder. He

years, beginning the first of the coming year. 
Mr. Gumpertz's plans, however, seem doomed to 
disappointment, for the Estimate Board of the 
City of New York, has adopted plans of turning 
Dreamland into a seaside park, with an ocean 
frontage of 1,000 feet. This body had. indeed 
accepted two options on the pronerty which the 
Dreamland Company owns. This company owns 
that portion of Coney south of Surf Avenue and 
west of the Belmar Estate, on which have been 
erected private baths. 

One option specifies that it will sell all of Its

$1,350,000 at private sale. If the option Is ex- 
ercised by November X,

Illg the suitability of the Dreamland Bide for a 
municipal park are averse to acquiring the 
whole stretch of ground between Sort Avenne 
and the Atlantic. Many people uphold them in 
their conviction that the strip of soil south of 
the main thoroughfare need not be included In 
the park, but left unpurchased ana remain de- 
voted to amusement concessionaries. The ex- 
clusion Of this strip would materially reduce the 
price that the city would have to expend for 
the remainder of the grounds. Opposition to 
this Idea Is encountered, however, on the 
grounds that the various lessees of this strip 
could enter Into any line of trade, some of 
which might prove obnoxious to the municipal 
recreation grounds. In both options the Dream- 
land Company made no proposition offering, the 
tract exclusive of the frontage on Surf Avenue. 

NEW ACTS. 

(Continued from page 9.) 

though many of his tricks are difficult and very 
probably have been accomplished only arter 
long practice, Kashlma makes the work appear 
a matter of ease. Kashlma went big at Ham 
-meretein's. He closed the show, a most diffi- 
cult spot, bnt with a fairly good-sized audience 
to work to. he elicited frequent outbursts of 
applause. On Monday night he was compelled 
to take three bows, a" most unusual proceeding 
for a closing act at this theatre. 

MABEL FLORENCE PLAYEE8, In a Farce 
called The Worm Turned; 15 minutes; full 
stage. Fifth Avenue Theatre. 
The Worm Turned, written by Katherlne Kav- 
onangh. Is being played by the Mabel Florence 
Players. The author of the piece has selected 
a good enough theme to work upon, but In build- 
ing around the skeleton, she has failed to use 
material strong enough to bring sufficient laughs 
to make the farce a success. Especially the 
first part of the act needs bolstering. After 
it gets under way It gradually grows better, the 
langhs coming fast enough to keep the audience 
la good humor. The plot of the farce is this: 
Mr. Gayboy, a sport, comes homeward In a state 
of Intoxication. Instead of entering his own 
home, his condition leads him to the apartments 
of a neighbor. The wife of the owner of the 
honse remonstrated with him for entering her 
home, but be Insists that he is In the right 
place. It develops later that *Mr. Henry Peck 
(in whose home Gayboy has wandered) has been 
an exceedingly busy man, remaining at his office 
until late into the night. His wife doubts 
bis assertion as to the cause for his late ar- 
rival borne. When Mr. Henry Peck returns he 
finds Gayboy asleep on the couch. Awakening 
him. he enters into a debate with Gayboy as 
to who is the owner of the house. Gayboy 
Is finally satisfied that he Is mistaken. Then 
he suggests a plan to cure Mrs. Henry Peck 
from her suspicions and to help Henry Peck. 
He permits Peck to cover him with a gun while 
Gayboy shouts for aid. attracting the atten- 
tion of Mrs. Peck, who rushes into the room. 
Thus Henry Peck now stands before her ai 
a hero. Having succeeded In gaining the upper 



scored heavily at the Fifth A\-enue. Tuesday 

night he aang six numbers, the last two being 

rendered after Insistent demands. 

THE HIGH-FLYERS, Miniature Musical Com- 
edy; 45 minutes; five scenes. Fifth Avenue 
Theatre. 

The High-Flyers is called a table d'hote mus- 
ical comedy in four courses. The book 1b In- 
George Totten Smith, Edward Madden and Will 
D. Cobb. Gus Edwards wrote the music and 
Jack Mason staged the musical numbers. Fea- 
tured with the piece (which is "presented" hy 
Gus Edwards) are Clarence Harvey and Violet 
Colby. The High-Flyers Is not dissimilar to 
one of Gus Edwards' former acts, known as 
The Blonde Typewriters. Some of the material 
used In the "typewriter" act seems to have 
found its way into the newest Edwards produc- 
tion. Ten musical numbers are on the program. 
They are: Dictation, by entire company: Youra 
Truly, Kid Dooley, by Bobert Graham Jr.: duet. 
When the Honeymoon Is Over, -Clarence Harvey 
and Violet Colby; Gowns, Gowns. Gowns, Bobert 
Graham Jr. and girls; Maxim Mix, Jarvls Joce- 
lyn; Light up Yonr Face with a Smile, Clarence 
Harvey; Scandal of the Flowers. Mabel Ferry; 
When the World Comes to an End, Violet Colby; 
That Frisco Bear, Bessie Clifford and girls; 
All- the Way up in the Moon, Jarvls Jocelyn 
and entire company. The finale makes a cork- 
ing wind-up. It shows the Zeppelin airship, 
boarded by the entire company, in full flight. 
A searchlight from the airship Is played upon 
people in the audience. The cast is a most 
capable one. Comprising it are: Clarence Har- 
vey, Violet Colby, Mabel Ferry, Queenle Lauers, 
Elinore Carroll. Vivian Rich, Helen Howard, 
Betty Bettina. Bessie Clifford, Bobert Graham 
Jr. and Jarvls Jocelyn.

him in the Jaw. and the dial shows how bard 
you hit, while the figure emits the funniest loud 
shrieks yon ever heard. They HAVE to laugh. 
They eat it up. Immense crowds gather. Posi- 
tively pays for itself on one fair. Strong ma- 
chine work, simple; can't get out of order. 
Complete. $100.

WHITING ALLEN DIES. ; . . 

(Continued from psge 6.) 

critic, and bis work attracted the attention of 
the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company man- 
agement, and be was appointed general press, 
representative of that famons organization. It 
was largely. doe to Allen's efforts that Hammer- 
stein's Philadelphia Opera House came into ex- 
istence. It was also while a member of the 
North American staff that Allen was assigned 
to "cover" the last trial of Caleb Powers at 
Frankfort, Ky. His report of the- trial, at 
which Powers (who was later pardoned, and Is 
now . representing bis district in the United 
States Congress) was pronounced by the Jury 
to be guilty of complicity In the murder of 
William Goebel, Democratic aspirant for the 
gubernatorial chair in. 1898. - was ■ among the 
most graphic, psychological and unbiased printed 
by all the newspapers that were represented 
at that famous trial. 

In March. 1911, Mr. Allen rejoined the Bar- 
num A Bailey Show. When the circus came 
down from Its winter-quarters in Bridgeport 
he wrote a story of how three gas stoves bad 
to be placed in the cage of the chimpanzee, 
"Cbimmle Fadden" to keep him from catching 
cold on the trip down. A newspaper man asked 
where the gas came from, and Alien answered 
"From, the press department." .'■ 
' One of Allen's most popular press stories 
was sprung In April, 1901, when the Forepangh 
A Sella Show was in the Madison Square Gar- 
den. It told "of Mrs. Allen's pet parrot saving 
a thousand dollars .worth of jewelry and val- 
uables from robbers who broke Into the Allen 
home at 251 West 109th Street, New York 
City. ' The thieves were about to make off 
with the swap when the parrot called out. 
"What 'ell Bill, anythln' dobs'? Get out." 
And the housebreakers rushed out for their lives, 
leaving the valuables behind. . Mr, Allen re- 
ported the matter to the police, - who. were 
skeptical, but the story got over, good and big. 

Whiting Allen was of the school of Hamilton. 
Burke, Copey and Brady. In ability as a circus 
press representative he ranks at the very top 
of his class. Gentle and unobtrusive in manner, 
congenial in spirit with all the various dis- 
positions and characteristic habits of mind and 
conventional prejudice.. with which he came into 
contact In his official capacity, he was able to 
"land" a story where others failed. 

The profession of amusement has lost an 
able exponent of Its qualities, and Whiting Al- 
len's friends have lost a congenial, a sincere 
and an unselfish FRIEND.

APPALACHIAN EXPOSITION.. 
The Appalachian Exposition makes its second 
initial bow to the public on September 12, !!lll, 
arbed with the clothes ot the most tr mend'tus 
mi successful amustment event that has over 
aken p.ace In the South, with grounds and 
buildings exceeding In cost one-half a million 

^°l!ast' rear's exposition took place from Sep- 
tember 12 to October 12 mid was attended by 
half a million people. The coming Appalachian 
Exposition will be held from September 12 to 
October 1 and it Is safe to say that the great 
iiueeess made by the last exposition will cause 
the attendance to be doubled. The biggest and 
greatest amusement features and the finest line 
of exhibits ever shown In the South will be 
made at this exposition. 

The exposition company is headed by Col. 
L. D. Tvsou, one of the most prominent and 
wealthiest citizens of East, Tennessee, as presi- 
dent. Col. Cary P. Spenee, postmaster of Knox- 
Tilie, and prominent in military circles, secre- 
tary and treasurer; and Col. Sandford H." Cohen, 
one' of the greatest showmen . In the country, 
assistant to the president. These officers, with 
the backing of the strong Board of Directors, 
assure the success of ' the exposition for the 
year 1911. - 

The amusement committee plans a diversi- 
fied program, opening with a free pyrotechnic 
displav. which will be repeated oh the - second 
night, and the horse show on Wednesday. Thurs- 
day and Friday nights, with a pyrotechnic pano- 
rama to close the first week. A special feature 
for the second week, in addition to the. aviation 

meet, will be n big spectacular production. The 
third week a big poultry and stock snow will 
be held. J. J. Ashe Is chairman of the racing 
committee, and Cowan Sogers of the automobile 
racing committee, and they are arranging some 
classy events which will be announced at an 
early date. 

CALGARY (ALTA.) INDUSTRIAL EXHI- 
BITION. 

'Everything is very busy at the grounds in 
Victoria Park, Calgary, Alberta, in preparation 
for the Calgary Industrial Exhibition, which 
will be held June 30 to July 7. inclusive. Supt. 
E. J. Burns kas large gangs of men employed 
in the construction of the new stock pavilion 
and stables for which the rate-payers of Cal- 
gary recently voted $55,000. The park board of 
the city is expending $8,000 in beautifying' the 
park, and the result will be a pleasant sur- 
prise to visitors to the exhibition. The new 
dog bnllding is nearly completed and the ac- 
commodation offered to dog exhibitors this year 
is far in advance of previous years. The alter- 
ations in the administration -building for the 
purpose of making permanent offices at the park, 
have deprived the fire- and police departments 
of their usnal accommodations. - They will be 
provided with new quarters .under the east end 
of the grandstand. The space in the industrial 
building and the art building is practically all 
spoken for and Manager E. L. Richardson is 
being besieged with inquiries for space for the 
usual supply of refreshment stands and eating 
booths. The lithograph being got out this year 
to advertise the fair Is one of the strongest 
ever Issued and is bound to attract attention. 
It is being done in Calgary. Six thousand 
copies of the hanger will be distributed. The 
flags, which were so popular a feature of the 
exhibition advertising last year, are being re- 
peated this year, and a small bundle has been 
sent to nearly every school district in the 
Province for- distribution to the scholars. 

A very interesting and novel feature added 
to the American Day program on the afternoon 
■>t .Inly 4, will be a drill by the Aab Patrol of 
Al Kader Temple. A. A. O. N. Mi S.. Portland. 
Oregon. The members of this patrol will, with 
two hundred and fifty other Sbrinexs. be stop- 
ping over In . Calgary on American Day, and 
after spending an hour or two sight-seeing and 
being entertained to luncheon by the local tem- 
ple, will visit the fair grounds. They have 
tery kindly consented to devote a half hour 
to the entertainment of the thousands who will 
be seated in the grandstand on that day. This 
Is one of the most novel pieces of entertainment 
ever put on by a Canadian fair, and is sure 
to make a big hit. Messrs. B. H. Bull & Son 
or Brampton, Ont„ the foremost breeders of 
Jersey cattle in Canada, will bring out to the 
ojlgary exhibition between twenty-five and thirty 
or their best Jerseys, iharlng made an importa- 
tion from Jersey Island for this purpose. 'The 
exhibit of Jerseys by Messrs. Bull & Son has 
t£ r 5 e ycal years been one of the features of 
jne fair, and Is always a special attraction to 
rnose Interested In dairy stock. Last year one

As the result of negotiations which have been, 
carried on for some time by the attraciiou 
committee with the Parker Show Company of 
Kansas City, a splendid line of shows b"S been 
secured for the "Skid Road." A notlceablf 



a broadening of several classes and substantial 
additions to prizes in others. A new fine arts 
building is being constructed which will be lo- 
cated near the colonnade at the west side of the 
grounds, and will replace the building burned 
last October, while being -used as a temporary 
contagious hospital. This building will exhibit 
new features, as it will not only house the art, 
domeste science and scholastic sections, but will

where the musical programs will be rendered 
by the Enville Ball Prize Flute and Drum Band, 
which comes direct from England to feature the

usual and attractive features for this, the tweu- 
tt-nrst annual exposition at- Winnipeg, and the 
first under the-new name Of the institution, the 
"Canadian Industrial ■ Exhibition." The prlxe 
l**t shows comparatively few-changes, excepting;

loan exhibit will come under new and enlarged 
auspices this year. An automobile show, the 
first to be held at the exhibition, will occupy the 
entire floor space of the central industrial build- 
ing. The famous agricultural motor competi- 
tion, now in its fourth year, and one of the far- 
reaching features " of the big fair, will again be 
to the front in the educational and Industrial 
program. No exhibiting or competitive event in 
the world attracts the attention of the farm 
traction makers and users as does this Winnipeg 
competition.-- and its- gold medal of supremacy 
Is one. ol the., prized trophies of. the -industrial 
world. "The sports,' races; -amusements- and at- 
tractions of the exhibition .will again be to the

THE ST. JOHN (N. B.) 'EXHIBIT-ION. 

The St. John Exhibition for 1911 will be- 
formally opened on. the afternoon of September- 
2 and will remain open until 10 o'clock on the 
evening of September. 9. This exhibition, which* 
was formerly held every second year, has always- 
been the premier fair of the Maritime Provinces. 
Last year St. John -received the Dominion - grana- 
of $50,000. and was thus ^enabled to greatly, 
extend and Improve its plant, and the exhibition* 
association has now decided to -make the fair- 
an annual event. Owing to. its geographical" 
situation and its commercial importance, SU-. 
John is naturally fitted to be the fair town" or 
the three Maritime Provinces and Its exhibi- 
tions have always commanded - a much larger 
attendance than those of any- other town - in- 
ula t section. Its industrial exhibits are always 
worthy of attention; its cattle and poultry shows- 
last year were the best ever held in the prov- 
inces and its amusement attractions and "Pike"' 
proved to be great drawing cards. 

Unfortunately, according to the opinion 'of 
some. St. John has no 'racetrack In- connection* 
with its fair grounds, although races are usually 
held concurrently with the exhibition on a track 
about three miles distant. The fair asaocia- ~ 
tlon, however, has never . admitted .that this 
wan any drawback, as it means that those -who. 
do attend the show are there for the purpose of" 
examining the exhibits, and greater satisfaction* 
accrues to the exhibitors. The concesslonalrcs- 
aioog the "Pike" also claim that the St. John 
Fair Is a good field. - 

Special attractions for this year have not 
yet been definitely settled but' will probably In- 
clude elaborate fireworks at night, vaudeville- 
entertainments, both afternoon and evening, in*, 
front of the grandstand as well as In the amuse- 
ment halls. The association also has a splendid* 
grandstand and music gallery in tkeir main* 
building. 



GALVESTON COTTON CARNIVAL. 
Galveston's third annual Cotton Carnival, which, 
wM be held from July 29 to August 14, in- 
clusive, will have all toe -main attractions which. 
In former years" have instructed, entertained and* 
amused hundreds of. thousands, and In addltjo&i 
thereto many .new features will -.be added.

world, for on the tables will be presented -for com- 
parison cotton from every section of earth whlcbi 
produces the staple:, far-off Russia, India, Sbnth* 
America, Mexico,- and nations which few know 
can raise cotton are here * represented ' with sam- 
ples from each of them, and a thousand by--' 
products of our fleecy ■ friends as well. Every 
product, of- Texas.- from -its wondrous cotton to* 
Its most profitable, onion.- -Its minerals, fruits, 
oils, berries, melons, garden • truck, wheat, rice- •

bosom or Galveston Harbor will be some of the- 
mlgbty warships of the. United States; -and at- 
the forts thousands of our soldiery will dnlly- 
present some interesting features of their drills. 
Anto races on the best beach in America for- : 
purses aggregating $5,000, ' and living- pictures^ 
of the Boston Tea Party — with a Teat ship. to. 
be b-rrned in the rolling snrf-— are 'Other "note- 
worthy attractions. Parades pf every "character; -

ment nightly. 

CINCINNATI FERNRAXK;. J>AM CELE- 
BRATION. , 

Cincinnati will have . a celebration In Sep- 
tember that wHi -surpass anything of Its kind*, 
ever held In this city, or any Middle. West cltyvf

to be. The leading spirts of Cincinnati's com- 
mercial and industrial .. affairs - were present,, 
and every man will be a worker for the suc- 
cess of the big celebration, v.- . ' .v 

There is not a single phase of progress that'

the Queen City also will be benefited in a great 
way. and' they- will have -no small -part in- tbe- 
week cf jubilation. . . -.',,;..--

tile Queen City. , -

lews: 

Monday — Reception to prominent guests^

LUNA PARK. 

At the Japanese bowling alleys in 
Luna we recognize Mtya and Nagai, 
This privilege, as well as the refresh- 
ment parlor upstairs, is in the posses- 
sion of Thomas Satow. The automatic 
ball game, the property of the Gard- 
ner Brothers, is under the able man- 
agement of J. Taylor and E. Eastman. 
Next in line comes an avenue Of con- 
cessions under the control of Hamlin 
& Muscovice. including, in addition 
to several refreshment booths, the 
popcorn counter under the manage- 
ment of Arthur Buck, while Gus 
"Walker takes able care of the stand in 
his absence. The penny picture ma- 
chines are entrusted to the care of G. 
E. J'lunkett. Gus Walker is now- 
passing his ninth year; at Frederic 
Thompson's Temple of Recreation. 
The Pneumatic Tube Is ; now carrying 
passengers around its dark, intricate 
descents for a second season. A. B. 
Schwartz is again in charge of this 
llthxillihg, device, in which the passen- 
gers are enclosed for sake of protec- 
tion. Abe Cohen and James Ford are 
also employed at this place, the latter 
as spieler. Ford leaves next week for 
ijone of the western companies of Wil- 
liam Brady's Overnight production. 
SThe Teaser, the popular creation of 
the W. F. Mangels Co., is also enjoying 
its second year at this park. Charlie 
Dowd. is its manager, with Joe Klein- 
.meier assisting. Miss M. Wellington 
takes .her place at the ticket booth. 
Checkers, another invention of the 
: Mangels Co., obeys the mandates 
of J. P. Garrison. Rudolph Ames is 
in the capacity of assistant. Next we 
see Charles Vaughan at his familiar 
• stand at the adjoining concession. 
Charles Edwards is also to be found 
at this place. ' Dolly Hornby is the 
smiling miss at the ticket station. 
Fred Fero comes next in line as man- 
ager of the Red Mill, with Wm. Byrne 
spieling most vociferously as well as 
taking care of the Debes and Simmons 
property in the absence of its accus- 
tomed caretaker. 

It is with pleasure that we make the 
acquaintance of C. L. Barnhart, in- 
ventor and manager of the Dial Strik- 
er. This distinctly unusual device was 
•the sole property of: its manufacturer 
that was saved from the flames that 
laid Dreamland low. . Barnhart man- 
aged to drag it from its station in the 
flame-enveloped park to the big pier 
that stood in the rear -of the amuse- 



ment resort, and to throw it into the 
ocean, about twenty feet below. From 
its watery resting-place he finally suc- 
ceeded in swinging it around to the 
beach behind Feltmann's Pavilion,- 
thence to a spot where there was little 
likelihood of Its being consumed by 
the fire. As it is. he suffered the loss 
of his big Ocean Wave, as well as los- 
ing three fully-constructed Dial 
Strikers, which had been stored in his 



managing and incidentally spieling 
away at a nifty clip during his second 
season, as this happens to be. Eddy

workshop under the lofty Dreamland 
tower. Mr. Barnhart expects the pat- 
ents for his invention will be in his 
hands by the 15th of August, after 
which he will place his device upon 
the market. 

At the Monkey Music Hall, which is 
owned by M. Raffins, Albert Eddy is 



the direction of Leo Glason, the other 
under Buel Jones. At the Virginia 
Reel, of which Rhiel and Kirshoff are 
owners, we recognize a cluster of fa- 
miliar faces. None other than E. T. 
Byrne is handling the business at this 
place, as has been the case for the la^t 
three years. It might be noted that 



| this showman Is now passing his slxt 
consecutive season at Luna. Last fa 
he worked for Claude Hagan at ti 
Cincinnati Exposition, on the front 
the Fire Show, The Sea Nymph A 
traction and Gerson's Tiny Tow 
Midgets. In the winter he ran tl 
lecture hall for the Pittsburg' Lai

a long season's engagement at the 
park, as Is also the St. Leon Open Air 
Circus. The Novelty Machine Com- 
pany has given Luna one of its most 
popular rides In the Frolic. W. Bar- 
rows is watchful of the interests of 
this device. W. Johnson, James Ken- 
ny and Mrs. O. Smith assist in va- 
rious capacities. Joe Himes is in of- 
ficial charge of the elephants this 
year, and Tom Sullivan and Frank 
Walker - are to be found busily en- 
gaged in the vicinity of the two pachy- 
derms. Gus Gunderson is managing 
The Dragons Gorge, with Ed. Martin 
assisting. The following boys are al- 
so to be found around the ride: John 
Burnhams, Ed Evlson, Geo. Nelson, 
Chas Keller, Fred Knespin and Frank 
A. Furner. The silhouette artist is 
Joe Albrizp; Doc Fischel, Doc Edward

Walk, while his relative, William, 
watches that no harm befals the 
Cuckoo ' Clock. With him are Harry 
Femmel, spieler; Bill Benneby, Tom 
Inshaw and Mamie Sullivan. To be 
sure, our old friend. Slim Watson, is 
comfortably established with his 
shooting gallery in the fore part of 
the park. Slim is still the same old 
boy and has shown in the past his 
ability to make a shooting gallery go 
the limit. Bob Bernabei is his as- 
sistant. Bill McCormack Is stilt doing 
the spieling for the Trip to the Moon, 
of which Charles Warren, formerly 
with Polly of the Circus, is manager, 
with Scrump Clancy assisting. At 
the ponies we find Eddie Lorraine in 
charge. This finishes our tour of 
Luna, unless we stop a minute to see 
the gate and ticket men, some of 
whom are: R. C. Gorby. John R. 
Reardon. Eugene M. Cammeyer. J. E.

dreamland: 



If there is one set of concessions 
that have a just claim to activity and 
business enterprise, it is those that 
baffled the disheartened conditions 
encountered by the destruction of 
Dreamland and have located tempor- 
ary structures on its site, with the re- 
sult that every available foot of space 
on Surf Avenue, where Dreamland 
formerly stood, -is now covered by the 
roof of some concessioner's booth — 
merrily engaged at pulling lots of 



built by E. C. Smith, and is in charge 
of Whitey Allen, assisted by George 
Harrison, Jean ' Peacock ' and B. K. 
Weyer. 

Alice and. John Ward were tin- 
daunted by the fire which laid low 
their soda and confectionery conces- 
sion to a total loss, and are once more 
back selling sweet beverages. 

Peterson and Singer have located 
an alluring bar near their old one 
which was destroyed. A pony conces- 
sion is now doing business under the 
management of McCulIough, with Jo- 




business in. Prof. C. A Bostwick, the 
metaphysical astronomer, in his 
twentieth year at Coney, is now doing 
business in his new structure on his 
old site on the Iron Pier steamboat 
walk. 

Harry Vendran and Fred W. Neusse 
are barking away at their pen-knife 
concession with telling effect since its 
re-erection from the Coney fire. 

John Balsamo has erected a shoot- 
ing gallery near Wm. Johnson's mer- 
ry-go-round, which has been up 
about three weeks. The carousel was 



seph Toshimate in charge. Next to 
it is to be found the Indian Trip stand, 
quite similar to the African Dip. This 
concession Is the property of B. F. 
Van Kennel. J. T. McGrath, a well- 
known concessioner, is the able man- 
ager, and Harry E. Weisel his assist- 
ant. McGrath was in charge of one of 
L. A. Thompson's scenic concessions 
before the Dreamland holocaust. 

Gertrude Greenberg and her five 
relative .employees, after suffering a 
$3,000 loss from fire, are up again 
with a' new novelty booth. 



H. Tarr has erected the Dream 
Studio, with Billy Donnelly on the 
front.' Ollie: Man is doing the camera 
operating, with Bessie Siegei hand- 
ling the money, y 

The name of Sam Gumpertz is ev- 
erywhere heard, as he: Is interested 
in a large portion of the concessions 
on the charred site of the park of 
which he was formerly general man- 
ager. He and Sam Dicker are Joint 
proprietors of Creation Cafe. Gum- 
pertz Is also interested with Capt. Jo- 
seph G. Ferarl In the wild animal 
show, as well as being interested in 
Karlo's Circus, the Seven-in-one Show 
and the Ozark Shooting GirL 

Jake Falcon, formerly spieler with 
Creation, is now doing the oral work 
for Dicker's Hotel. 

Harry Morris is also spieling for 
Creation, being with the original Cre- 
ation as ticket seller. 

Capt. Ferarl must be congratulated 
for his enterprise in the speedy erec- 
tion of his carnival front, proclaiming 
a gala list of six animal acts, includ- 
ing a seven-lion performance by Mad- 
am Andre; Ricardo and his five- 
leopard act; Princess Lata, a jungle 
dancer, with four lions; Capt Ferarl's 
performing ponies, the talking horse, 
and Capt Jack Bonavita, with Black 
Prince the Second, " the untamable 
lion. 

The three Hon cubs, born four weeks 
ago to Victoria, one of the few felines 
which escaped from the 'fire, are all 
doing well, as is Marguerite, the ten- 
month-old cub saved from the con- 
flagration. 

A baby horse has been born to one 
of the few mare ponies saved from 
the fire. The animals are in excellent 
condition and are far better kept than 
the average carnival or wild. West me- 
nagerie. Ferari intends taking his 
outfit, which he has had fully Insured, 
to play the fairs this' fall. He is busy 
fixing up a new lot of wagons for this 
purpose. 

Bonavita Is getting ready a big wild 
animal act for the fall months. He 
has not been working at it long 
enough to determine whether he will 
use it on the vaudeville stage or for 
the fairs. Bonavita has now broken 
Black Prince the Second ' into that 
point where he can take part In any 
act. This is an apt demonstration of 
hid training ability, as Black Prince 
the Second never was in a cage with 
man until about a month ago. Harry 
Smith assists in the training. 

Harry Knowles is spieling on the 
front, with Doc Jackson lecturing on

Dear Sir: 

A great deal bas been said and written about 
prizes and the general management of county 
fairs, but Terr little has. been said abont con- 
cessions and attractions' at onr county fairs. 
It Is. as Important to have first-class attrac- 
tions and decent concessions at onr fairs as 
It is to have a good prize list. Not all the 
visitors to the fair care to see the exhibits; a 
great many come to meet old friends and have 
a good thne- 

What is more disgusting to the average fair 
visitor- than to have to pass uncleanly conces- 
. slong and indecent shows and to have the man- 
agement provide poor .attractions? This one 
1 department of the fair should be run on a 
-. nlgher plane, and a man pot in charge that 
understands his business and knows what a good 
, 'attraction should be. The better the attrac- 
' trans, the larger will be the gate receipts. 
y ;!For the past twenty-seven years -I have at- 
tended county fairs in the Central States and

'Rooked". with disgust upon some of the lunch- 
•candH and cheap shows which are allowed upon 
our fair grounds. Refined people do not patron- 
ize them and the few dollars taken In by the 
' owners' of these places come from a class of 
citizens that spend their -money for anything 
that is cheap. They do not. take merit or 
morality into consideration. 

Concessions ef all kinds should be carefully 
scrutinized and the management should see the

allowed to open their doors to the public. The 
same Is true of lunch-stands. The preparation 
of the meals and lunch should be inspected and 
cleanliness should be the watchword of the

As to free attractions: a sufficient sum should 
be set apart in order that the best may be had.

Chairman of the local Arrangement Committee 
and to the Honorable Mayor. . 
Past President Tarry said in part: 
"Fellow Workers:— In accordance with the 
laws of our organization, I herewith submit fer 
your consideration a brief report of the business 
transacted by myself, as your president. The 
past year bas been a very successful one for 
our organization, in the matter of Increased 
membership, the betterment of wages and con- 
ditions for inany of our locals, as well as more 
friendly and equitable feeling between our em- 
ployers, tbe theatrical managers, and our or- 
ganization. 

"Nothing was accomplished in the matter of a 
conference President Gompers of the American 
Federation of Labor wished to have between 
President McNnlty and a committee of tbe I. B. 
of E. W., and myself and a committee from oar 
I. A. T. S. E., in reference to jurisdiction over 
moving picture operators. This was not. how- 
ever, through any fault of your president and 
committee. 

"In the matter of the appeal for financial aid 
by the A. F. of towards the McNamen 
defense fund, no doubt this appeal Is knows 
through our several locals. I would, however, 
recommend that this, the nineteenth convention, 
devise ways and mean whereby our International 
body may be able to contribute our share to- 
ward this fund, and assist in securing a fall 
and impartial trial for Brother McNainera. 

"To Fourth Vice-president SUay. 1. am un- 
able to adequately express my thanks and ap-

Shakespeare Enters 
Fair Japan 



Hamlet, at the Imperial Theatre In Tokio. Is 
a literal translation expressly mad 1 by Dr. 
Tsubouchl, constitutes a recent event of the 
first importance in the play-goiog world in 
Japan. By a new departure, and one thai 
promises well for the improvement of Jaoan- 
ese dramatic art, the tragedy was staged in 
foreign style, and the female parts were played 
by women. Miss Matsut hi said to have 81M 
the role of Ophelia wlu exceptional skill, while 
the characters of Hamlet, Polonious and Claud- 
ius were very creditably prrs-nted. For some 
years the Japanese have been more or less fa- 
miliar with a J.-nanese stage version of Ham- 
let, but Dr. Tfeubouohl'* is the first faithful, 
or approximate!*- faithful, rendering of the plaj 
Into the vernacular; and It will readily be be- 
lieved that ShakcsD-are's lines have taxed to 
tbe full the linguistic -Ingenuity of the trans- 
lator, the -Interpretive powers of the players, 
and the comprehension of th* audience. A 
word of Interest reaches us concerning the" new 
playhouse where the new rendering of HaniM 
was- so successfully undertaken. The erection 
snd opening of the Imperial Tb«atre (which, 
despite Its name. Is not a subsidized or a gov- 
ernment-controlled playhouse) may bo taken as 
a sign of promise In a hitherto theatrically bar- 
baric land. .European, in its general archi- 
tecture, and attempting some approach to Occi- 
dental ideals and methods on its stage, It es- 
pecially distinguishes Itself by having connected 
with It a school for the training of actresses, 
thus declaring itself * opposea to- the time-hon- 
ored custom' of allowing none but male actors 
to appear behind tbe footlights, even in" female 

J tarts. By a circular process— which. In' this 
nstance, it is hoped, will bear no resemblance 
to the "vicious" circle— the laudable purpose 
is to qualify women for the elevation of the 
stage, and then with their aid to make the 
stage a means of elevatlmr : women. ' Of coni-pe 
the reform of tbe stage Is not to be accomp- 
lished" In a day. either In Japan or elsewhere; 
and it will be years before the new Tokio The- 
atre can be expected to make Itself worthy »t 
any sort of comnarlson with theatres in the 
capitals Of the Western world.

DICKSON STILL UNCONVEN- 
TIONAL. 

Charles Dickson, author; actor and manager. 
Is again experiencing a tirade of abuse and a 
deluge of commendation because of the name 
which be has given his new comedy. It will 
be known as The Golden Rule. Ltd.. which ap- 
parently suits everybody— except the "Ltd.," 
and that has started all sorts of ideas. When 
Dickson christened Incog, the first play in

kinds of a fool, then the excellence of the play 
became known and the public didn't care what 
he called It. Later on. he took the same play 
and rewrote it. making It a musical comedy, 
which he called Three Twins. Another torrent 
ot opinions, mostly to the effect that then 
wjild be no such combination as "three twins." 
rhe comedy is still making barrels ot money 
and pleasing the public. With The Golden 
Knle Ltd. he hopes history will eontinne to re- 
Peat itself. It has commenced, for of all the 
"Pinions, silly and otherwise, which have been 
rorced upon the author, none have surpassed in 
number and vehemence those given the new 
S?S W J T - Dickson's superstitions are being cod- 
aiea in the present case, for the general inter- 
est and wonder relative to the- real meaning of 
toe new title argues well for the play, which 
22, be elaborately produced the latter part of 
September with a east of unusual ability.

many years prior to the success of his play,

The Bill at 

Hammerstein's 



Sew York. August 5 (Special to The Blll- 
boardl. — Except for an Intermittent let-up oc- 
curring la one or two snots, the bill at Ham- 
merstein's this week Is one of the best Been 
on the roof since the season opened. All the 
acts (omitting tbe Lillian Graham and Ethel 
Conrad bit) hare been tried and their true 
value established, and as a remit, the program 
moved along smoothly, fluctuating a little only 
when the Graham-Conrad combination exhibited 
■their wares. 

For the second week Ruth St. Denis head- 
lined. As during her preceding seven-day stay 
here, she presented her Hindoo temple dance 
called- Radha. Although way down on the 
till, next to closing, with many other good acta 
before her. Miss St. Denis commanded strict 
attention and hearty approbation. She is booked 
tii-re for another week'a engagement beginning 
Monday, when she will produce the second of 
tier aeries of Hindoo dances, namely The Cobra, 
-«r Snake Charmer, and The Naufcb, or tbe 
Dance of the Golden Sari. 

Bedlnl and Arthur closed the show, relying 
upon their burlesque on the dance of Bath St. 
Denis, a grotesque absurdity, which created 
much laughter. The burlesque is the same 
as that which they presented last week. 

An excellent atari was given the show by 
Juggling De Lysle. He works neatly and rapidly. 
Juggling tennis balls, clubs, feathers, hats and 
-other object!. Apparently, De Lysle has en- 
-deavored to break away from the usual routine 
-or lungllug work; not only has he endeavored 
™ bring out something new — the tact la, be 
*a« succeeded In hla endeavors. One of bla fea- 
ture tricks is the feat of juggling four hats, 
tossing them from head to hands and to feet 
toi quickly hanging tip one of the hate on 
the rack be has by hla aide. 

Cunningham and Marlon, tbe acrobatic danc- 
ers, continued the good work atarted by De 
Lyale and finished strongly. For No. 2 posi- 
tion they went exceptionally big. Harry Jol- 
*>u. In No. 8, got a bad start Wednesday night, 
but once In his stride he bad no difficulty In 
"tiring with a winner. 

Joe Jackson scored hla usual success. As a 
twntomimtat Jackson Is A-l. The same descrip- 
tion applies to all the work be undertakes

The Bill at 

Fifth Ave. 



New York. Aug. S (Special to The Btabeard). 
— A resumption of the torrid spell, following 
a brief intermission of cooler weather, bad its 
effect upon theatre attendance this wee*. The 
Fifth Avenne Theatre, however, aeld tip very 
well as far as attendance la concerned, although 
those tbat visited this theatre (aa well as say 
otber house) made constant use of fans. 

The show this week Is synonymous of the 
summer season. Its lightness permits no 
thoughts to focus on the torrldity. Comedy, 
music and song are the principal factors in 
making up this summer program. Of the eight 
acts comprising the bill, but three are gene 
through without the Introduction at at least 
one song. 

Boeder and Lester op-ned the' show. Their 
specialty Is some well executed feats on the 
Roman rings, together with several difficult 
tricks In teeth suspension work. Boeder and 
Lester retired with only half the applause they 
deserved, but then the audience must not he 
judged harshly when one takes into consider- 
ation the fact that the weather man really 
would not let them applaud. 

The Arlington Four and Bert Howard and 
Effie Laurence, both singing sets In Nob. 2 and 
3. respectively, did well. Knute Erlckson. an- 
other singing act. which, aa we said before, la 
reviewed In the New Acts column, followed with 
an acceptable and likeable offering. ' 

Music, gong snd ventrlloqulal work Is com- 
bined In the skit called An Evening at Home, 
pres?nted bv Mr. and Mrs. Hugh J. Bmmett- 
Emmett's efforts as a ventriloquist have placed 
him among those at the top In that line of en- 
tertainment. Mrs. Emmett makes a veay cap- 
able assistant. * 

Valerie Bergere and Company worked hard 
Edgar Allen Wolff's playlet, called She Wanted 
Affection. As It now stands the piece Is In 
need of doctoring. A detailed description of 
tbe act is given under New Acts. 

One of the real hits of the show was scored 
by Melville snd Hlgglns. Their rapid fire talk. 
Intermingled with bright comedy songs, created 
a continual round of laughter. 

The Original Eight Berlin Madcaps, m danc- 
ing and acrobatics, worked valiantly, and 
gained a goodly share of appreciation. The act 
dosed the show.

August 9, on tbe Lusitania, for England. She 
will be accompanied by her mother. 

Miss Hazard opens August 29 at the Hippo- 
drome in Leeds, England, where she is booked 
for a week's engagement. This stay will be 
followed by a week at the Hippodrome in Ports- 
mouth; one week at tbe Palace in Manchester,

these engagements are fulfilled, Miss Hazard 
will start work on other bookings, which have 
been arranged for her. A tour of Germany 
will probably follow. 

This is not the first time Miss Hazard has 
appeared abroad. On the occasion- of hex pre- 
vious appearance on the other side she scored 
a substantial hit, and there is no doubt but 
that whatever success she achieved at the time

can engagement In the autumn. He added that 
Bard, would not appear In vaudeville, as he had 
signed for a new musical comedy, now; running 
In Berlin, entitled. The Forbidden Kiss. The 
story sounded a wee bit strange, so I sought ont 
Bard to hear the facts. 

"Fanny thing yon should ask me this," was 
his answer; "as I have only within' the last 
hour made my plans so far as America Is con- 
cerned. First, I may say there Is no truth In 
the statement that I have been engaged by 
Mark Luescher or anyone else for America. My 
plans are teat, when my pantomime engagement 
finishes, I shall go to America for a month's 
holiday. During my stay I want to take careful 
stock of tbe -vaudeville and nrsslcal comedy 
houses, with a view to possible work later on. 
I have an offer to appear In The Forbidden Kiss 
In America, and If I conclude tbe deal, I shall 
open In that piece in October, 1912,"

Dissolution of the Firm of Keith and Proctor Necessitates 
Changes in Booking Arrangements— Rehearsal 
of the Case Up to Date 



New York, Aug. 6 (Special to The Billboard). 
Since the dissolution of the Keith-Proctor part- 
nership the booking of the Keith bouses la in 
the hands of U. Grant Blackford, who acted as 
xenernl overseer of the K. * P. houses before 
the formal parting of Keith and Proctor. Mr. 
jnlrs Rnb.v Is looking after the booking for the 
rroctor houses. 

Ml the names of the theatres controlled by 
the old combination will be changed. Instead of 
being known as Keith * Proctor's Theatre the 
house will be designated either as Proctor's The- 
atre or Keit h's Theatre. 

New Tork. Angnst 7 (Special to The Bill- 
board).— On Thursday of this week, before the 
Supreme Court at Portland, Me., arguments will 
begin in the matter of toe disposition of the 
Fifth Avenue Theatre, which is claimed by 
both Mr. P. F. Proctor and Mr. B. P. Keith, 
whose partnership in the Keith & Proctor Amuse- 
ment Co. was recently dissolved by agreement 
before the same court. When this esse ,1s de- 
chled, Vuslness ties between the two managers 
will have been completely severed. 

The Keith & Proctor Amusement Co. held an 
option en the Fifth Avenue Theatre after May 
1, 1011. but it was necessary to exercise this 
before September 1. 1910. As no word was re- 
ceived from Mr. Keith In answer to repeated 
letters from Mr. Proctor prior to tils time, Mr. 
Proctor, as vice-president of the company, made 
application for renewal of the lease. Shortly 
after September the International Amusement 
A Realty Co., which owned the theatre and 
which was Itself owned by Mr. Keith, advised 
the Keith & Proctor Co. that its term of occu- 
pancy would expire May 1, 1911. 

This was what prefaced the present liti- 
gation. Mr. Proctor contends that his lease Is 
valid. Mr. Keith insists that he Is the owner 
of the theatre. Mr. E. F. Alfcee Is managing 
the Fifth Avenue, nnder the supervision of 
Messrs. Proctor and Keith, pending the court's 
decision. 

Except for this hsnse, disposition of proper- 
ties owned by the Keith & Proctor Amusement 
Co. has been satisfactorily made. Mr. Proctor is

GABY DESLYS COMING 

Booked for Winter Garden Engagement — Nella Webb, Ameer 
ican Performer of Merit, Succeeds in Winning 
Approval After Long Struggle 



London. August 7 (Special to The Billboard). 
— Gaby Deslys sails for America In September, 
and it Is said that her contract is for $4,500 a 
week. The figure seems a bit high, but then 
a fair damsel who has turned the head of a 
European monarch, should, I suppose, rank her 
services a little above the ordinary. Anyhow, 
she has drawn big crowds to the Alhambra 
while she has been playing here, and the man- 
agement has twice extended her engagement.

Mr. Moyer, General Agent of Mighty Haag Show, was witn Ed. Knupp as Assistant when 
he was General Agent of the Sells & Downs Show, and for the past two years has bees with 
The Mighty Haag Show. He has made a mighty good record, and stands very high in the 
profession. 



During the last few days -there have been per- 
sist! nt rumors that she bss actually married 
Manuel — quite a good match for him, as she) 
could make the household expenses — but Gaby 
denies them all with some amount of explicit- 
ness. Manuel has certainly been Huttering 
around a good deal, but my own impression in 
that Gaby's infatuation for him began to wane 
on the dcy that the people of Portugal tied a 
can to him. Her trip to America is, however, 
exciting her hugely, and she seems immensely 
satisfied with her deal. If we could only and 
a real, live king— a r.-al top-liner in the 



ag-chy business — she would be hugely delighted. 

New Tork. Aug. 7 (Special to The Billboard).

Mile. Gaby Deslys. the beautiful and famous Eu- 
ropean Mujlc Ball favorite, wiose name has 
been so' closely "associated with that of the ex- 
King of Portugal, has positively been engaged

Canal Celebration 
Site Chosen 

Five months were consumed In deciding a 
site for the Panama-Pacific International Expo- 
sition, to be held at San Francisco in 1915. 

Tbe site which the directors have selected) 
for the exposition grounds Is des cribe d as fol- 
lows: Commencing at Telegraph win, and by 
means of boulevard along the Bay front, eon- 
necting In turn with Harbor View site, the 
Presidio Lincoln Park and Golden Gate Park.

The various features of the exposition gr o uu d e 
will be distributed as follows according to plana 
now nnder consideration. Golden Gate Park la

features that are calculated to add to its at- 
tractiveness without destroying any of Its natur- 
al beauty. Here will be located the museum, 
art gallery. Japanese and Chinese gardens, foun- 
tains, statuary, lagoons, etc The present sta- 
dium will be completed in the form of a coU- 
senm and will be one of the finest In the 
world. Another feature win be a miniature 
Panama Canal connecting the lakes. Lincoln 
Park is to be devoted to scenic features. A 
giant commemoration statue at the summit com- 
manding the entrance to the harbor is contem- 
plated. Picturesque cafes and gardens are to 
be located here. In Harbor View will be lo- 
cated such heavy exhibits as transportation ma- 
chinery and all the concessions and other fea- 
tures that will constitute the right life of 'the 
exposition. On the water -front a yacht harbor, 
aquatic park and aquarium are to be built. Tel- 
egraph Hill will have thereon a large wireless

This week marked an epoch In the history of 
ic Majestic TheMre. The bill 1» simply over- 
ling with tbat which the public longs for 
id wants, real, (rood, honest laughs. Even those 
•a of a more serious nature are of the chwa 
at compel genuine Interest, and weak snots 
the bill are as scarce as ben's teeth. Last 
erk the house boasted of the best business in 
eeks, but was easily eclipsed this week. Tne 
inse was said out on Monday afternoon and 
enlng and a pleased audience voted the bill 
pal Four new acts bare spots on the Mil 
is week, and each made good. Mile. Martha 
wned the show, and la reviewed under New

Williams and Selgel, who held fourth position 
the program, were placed to follow Mile, 
artha on Monday evening, and are also re- 
ewed under New Acts. 

The Six Brown Brothers were third, but could 
ally hare carried off a better spot as they

median is exceptionally clever and to a de- 
re Is responsible for the great success of the

Bert Baker Is without donbt one of the truest 
Ish types se n on the American vandevilie 
ige today. His brogue Is dellelonsly rich and 
torsi, and one could almost imagine the green 
Setting through his pleasing Irish eonnte-

afT.T.K MARTHA. Trapeze artist. Majestic. 
Chicago. First In nine-act show. Time 
of act, ten mlnntes; fun stage. 
Mile. Martha is stunning in appesjrance, 
young and attractive and with a pleasing per- 
sonality she materially aids a jrood act to 
success. Her stunts on the trapeze are darfaa; 
and exeitlng. Introducing a trifle too much 
swinging, she kills about two and one-half mln- 
ntes of valuable time which might have been 
used to better advantage. Her work on a sin*

Tne Gilmans closed another successful season 
of forty weeks, olavine through the Western 
arts tee, and are now rusticating for a few 
weeks at Gilman Bungalow, Flint, Mich. They 
played twelve states and territories and four 
provinces during the time, and never missed 
a date. Financially It was the most successful 
season In three years. They will open on the 
Fruit Belt of lower Michigan tha latter part 
of August. 



A Tale of the Track Comaanv. big time vau- 
deville, six characters, is rehearsing In Chi- 
cago. The company will take the road on K.

by working faster and killing less time,

act, ten mlnntes; In one. 
Williams and Selgel were placed fourth on, 
the bill on Monday afternoon, bnt for some 
reason were dropped to second position tn the. 
evening. Their singing la as good aa tbat sub 
pitted by the majority of song and dance teams, 
bnt no better. The eccentric dancing of torn, 
lady and gentleman la of a very good class, es- 
pecially that of the lady. It is very seldom.

uncalled for and kills the dignity and refinement 
of a good act.

DOURS. Russian singers and dancers. 
Majestic, Chicago. Closing nine-act bill. 
In fnll stage and special settings. 
M. Golden and Hta Russian Troubadours are 
a group of very clever singers, dancers and In- 
strumentalists. Their ' costumes axe appropri-

Is the dancing, which Is very commendable. The 
act pleased.

It seems with an act of such pretense audi 
refinement aa the one submitted by Csrter Do- 
Haven, that a better opening is possible. Mr. 
DeHsven allows his pianist to enter first, and 
this leads people who are not acquainted with 
the Bean Brnmmel to believe this ponnlar come- 
dian before them: accordingly his highness, the 
pianist (who, by the way. Is a very clever one) 
Is given a rousing reception. This seems tr

Tryouts At 

The Sheridan 



Chicago. Aug. 5 (Special to The Billboard) 

Last night was billed as try-out ntght at the 
Sheridan Theatre on the North Shore, but only 
one act appeared. The act was a great surprise 
to the few agents who hsd come out looking for 
new materiaL Dudley David offered a beaw 
sketch called Dramatic Interpretation. His first 
was the character of Shrlock from The Merchant 
of Venice. The part was nicely carried, bnt 
a trifle too long: however it found much favor 
with the audience. His second was the nart 
of an Eugllsb soldier reciting Gunga Din. one of 
Kipling's poems. His third and last interpreta- 
tion was that of Mark Anthony in Julius Caesar 
and proved an immense hit The act was 
worked in full stace and the changes made In 
view of the audience. With very little work 
In smoothing the act It will be worthy of a 
spot on the best bills.

SALES COM PANY. 

THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS. Powers. 
Drama. Full length. Released August 5. 
The many difficulties which must necessarily 
be encountered, in the way of scenery, cos- 
tuming and obtaining realistic battle scenes 
in a production of -this kind, renders this one 
a very vigorously and strenuously acted one, 
but one witout a great deal of dramatic ef- 
fect. The' story by Cooper Is undoubtedly a 
bard one to portray and tbe fact that, it is 
as well portrayed as it Is, Is much to the credit 
of the producers. As a vital part of an eve- 
ning's entertainment or viewed -alongside of 
other films of ordinary merit, it fails some- 
what short of being up to tbe average and in 
-this case is, of course, far short of the average 
production of this concern. There are no 
glaringly bad points, to be sure; on the other 
hand, many good ones being evident, but the 
film appears as though too big a subject had 
been undertaken. 

BACK TO NATURE. Thanhouser. Drama. Full 
length. Released August 8. 
While the production as pictured in th's Him 
is an admirable one from every point of view, 
being well plotted, adequately and appropriatfly 
staged and costumed, and fineiy acted, the pro- 
ducers are to be praised more for tbe .selection 
of this theme than for anything else. The 
film is a . plain piece of advice to city people, 
showing them what is to be gained in the way 
of health, money and happiness, out on tlu- 
farm. The film pictures a particular lnrldent. 
wherein the worn-out city .man aud his un- 
healthy (both In mind and body) family go to 
the country and recuperate, regaining their 
health and making good financially. Of course, 
it is - undi rstood that the production is not 
plotted after hard and fast rules or any proven 
facts, but is simply a suggestion and wil In 
generally accepted as a good one. As stnted 
aside from, its educational valu?. the film Is 
a charming one and full of Interest. 

CUPID. _ THE CONQUEROR. Thanhouser. Dra- 
. .ma. . Fall length. Released August 11. 
•The st'ory'told in this film is a rather light 
and inconsequential one, but it possesses some 
points .which are p, easing and entertaining. The 
play Is built around the Thanhouser. Kid as 
Cupid seen In a dream to steal a woman's 
heart and take it to ber lover. The fairy like 
scenes in which Cnpid appears have been se- 
lected with great care and are In all well 
worked up. Cupid plays a good part, being 
e'ever as well as cute, and seems to have a 
vi ry thorough understanding of each scene. 

THE OLD PEDDLER. Imp. Drama. Length, 
1.000 feet. Released 'August 7. 
While a very Mogical and poorly-constructed 
story Is presented here, it Is of such an appeal- 
ing nature and so plain and open a- plot, that 
it is bound to win popularity. It is well played 
and fairly well staged and, In fact, shows a 
big attempt at good direction all the way 
throngb. 'J he finding of a lost girl Is, of course, 
more or lrss Interesting and gives room for 
some exciting scenes which are we.l worked 
np. The film will pass as an ordinary pro- 
duction, with - do especially good and no es- 
pecially bad points, bnt with a lot of irrel- 
evant threads of plot. 

DOROTHY'S FAMILY. Imp. Comedy. Length, 
1,000 feet. Released August '10. 
This Is one of the' best acted and most pleas, 
ing little productions the Imp Company has ever 
made. It is a story of yonng people, some 
very intelligent and attractive young ppople, 
and pictures them in some very vivacious ac- 
tions. Two rival suitors for the hand of a 
most enticingly beautiful young lady get into 
such -active competition that the young lady 
has to resort to an unheard of scheme to prove 
which wants her more. Baggot and Tucker as 
.the rival lovers and tbe newly-engaged lady of 
the company as Dorothy, tbe object of their 
affection, all play splendid parts and are ably 
supported by the rest of the cast. The produc- 
tion Is bubbling over, with mirth and humor and 
full of vim and sparkle from start to finish. 
It is splendidly set and almost perfectly pho- 
tographed. 

OUT OF THE DARKNESS. Reliance. Drama. 

Full length. 
•This almost tragic but extremely touching 
and logical little drama is full of the hlgger 
passions and experiences as found in man's life 
and thns Is vitally Interesting. The theme Is 
old, but its repetition seems to have been 
noted by the producers and perfection aimed 
at in the production as an elixir for the aged 
plot. And perfection has been obtained so 
far ss the interpretation of the plot is con- 
cerned, for It Is surely free from the unneces- 
sarily sentimental qualities and Ingratiatingly 
open expressions Of. feeling seen in nearly all 
former productions. The theme is of a youth 
and maiden, lovers; he being beguiled In his 
affection and made to love another and more 
fashionable lady than the maiden. He finally 
returns to the latter after having been tem- 
porarily blinded by the former's rejected suitor. 
Aside from the splendid direction ' and good 
action in tbe main scenes, the Incidental acta 
are well done and lend a charm of their own 
to the situations. 

KATHLEEN MAVOURNEEN. Yankee. Drama. 
Tall length. Released August 7. 
The story in this production Is terribly 
clouded, but from the action pictured It op- 
pears that a girl la sent a note by ber lover 
and while reading It falls asleep and dreams of 
his being sentenced to death for a crime of 
which be Is not guilty. The dream is shown 
as a real happening and serves to confuse tbe 
audience, although, being a dream, it may 
be excused for not being perfectly clear. Tbe 
action seems to be carried on with much labor 
and exertion, but Is otherwise fairly, good. The 
photography, except that the film Is too heavily 
toned, shows excellent care on the part of 
the laboratory men.

The " John Boblnson Circus snowed at the 
South Norwood grounds August 1, giving an 
afternoon and evening exhibition. Both the 
performances were up to the usual high stand- 
ard of the Robinsons, but, unfortunately, the 
attendance was kept down by heavy rains in

good.

the vaudeville profession, and bis friends are legion. 



The vaudeville bills presented at the local 
parks this season have . been of a higher grade 
than ever before. Week after week there have 
been acts on the program that, during the 
winter season, playing houses charging 50 and 
75 cents admission. 

Daring the past week at Cheater Park. Miss 
Lottie Mayer, the diving queen, created a sen- 
sation with her daring diving and swimming 
act. At the free vaudeville theatre the bill 
was unusually interesting. Miss Lucille Tit- 
ton, called the "female Julian Eltlnge," was 
very clever in her delineations of male "typeB." 
Rice Brothers. German comedians, were funny 
enough to get a band at each performance. 
Orlando, a juggling comedian, introduced some 
real new stunts in the Juggling line. Mack 
and Wilson have a very good "slBter" act, 
with some up-to-date songs and dances. 

Coney presents as a vaudeville headllner a 
very clever little one-act comedy. The Color 
Scheme, in wblcb MIbs Alma Powell and Mark 
T. Wilson, formerly members of Cvrll Scott's 
company, were a big hit. The Cycling Mc- 
Xntts did a number of new tricks, aided by 
three-year-old Cammie McNutt. Eunice Howe, 
a Newport girl, won applanse with her singing 
of popular songs, and Cavayan, a Spanish f- 
male Impersonator, rendered Spanish songs and 
dances. At the racetrack arena, the Cornallas. 
acrobats, late of Rlngllng's Circus, showed the 
h~st rambling and feats of strength seen at 
Coney this year. 

Dal Beanie. In an equilibrium act. and Mme. 
Dal Beanie, with her $10,000 prize curtain, 
were the headliners st the Lagoon Vaudeville 
Theatre; the curtain Is said to have once 
adorned the Royal Palace. Pekln. China. Jack 
Davis. In his original miniature theatre; Miss 
May Walnwright. in a n»at singing and dancing 
act. and moving pictures, were the other at- 
tractions. 

The Ben Greet Players have departed from 
the Zoo. but the Cincinnati Summer Symphony 
Orchestra continues to delight large audiences. 



nothing definite has been given out by the 

Columbia management. 

If the motion picture house owners, now In 
session at the national convention at Cleve- 
land, decide to raise the price of admission 
from five to ten cents, it Is possible that a 
clash may follow between Cincinnati owners, 
as the owners of a number of large moving 
picture theatres have stated that they will 
not raise the admission fee.. Alma Powell 
and Mark T. Wilson, who presented The Color 
Scheme at Coney Island last week, are negoti- 
ating for a moving picture show In this city, 
and if they succeed In getting hold of the 
house, will retire for the present from active 
road work. 

A moving picture film exploded in the Lubln 
Theatre. Fifth Avenue. late Tuesday, August 
1. The house wss about half filled at the 
time. The audience rushed outside, but no- 
body was hurt; The fire was extinguished by 
employees with a few buckets of water.

of this city, was burned about the hands and

One hundred thousand invitations will be sent 
out to -friends, relatives, merchants and others 
to visit Cincinnati during the week of the Fern- 
bank Dam Celebration, September 4-0. and 
there Is every reason to believe that the re- 
sponse will be a liberal one. Beginning with 
the recentlon to distinguished visitors on Mon- 
day and the "Welcome Home" meeting st 
Mnslc Hall on Monday night, there will be no 
cessation to tbe f-stivlties until the close of 
the automobile races and the aviation exhibi- 
tions on Saturday. Tuesday will be devoted 
to a parade of steamboats on the river, ending 
with a visit to the Fernbank Dam. which will 
be formallr dedicated on this occasion and a 
demonstration of its workings given. Visitors

best of the many Pain displays seen here.

SPLIT IN HAYMARKKT MANAGEMENT. 

There has been a split In the management 
of the famous Haymarket Theatre, the chief 
shareholder In which la Lord Howard de Wi- 
den, the richest bachelor In England, who Is 
to marry one of our most promising- young act- 
resses la the person of Marie Lohr. Some t>- 
years ago Herbert French, hitherto known as a 
poet, took over the management with the idea 
of running the house as a repertoire theatre — 
as a matter of fact the experiment practically 
synchronized with the similar attempt made by 
Charles Frohman at the Duke of York's. But 
so successful were the first plays produced. Don 
and The Blue Bird, that they had to run on 
to satisfy the public demand. Consequently 
the repertoire Idea faded into the background. 
Now there has come a sharp conflict between 
those who wanted to run the theatre on the 
lines of "art for art's sake" and those* who 
rather leaned to the idea of "sordid gain" and 
put their chief faith In a success of the pe- 
cuniary order. French was on the side of the 
angels In the matter and decided to get. Hi 
successor will be Frederick Harrison, who ran 
tbe theatre for 20 years In conjunction with 
Cyril Maude. 

PLAT OF SCOTCH LIFE SUCCESSFUL. 

A little play that has been received with im- 
mense enthusiasm at the Haymarket is Bunt)' 
Pulls the Strings, written by Graham Moffatt 
and played, by his little company of Scottish 
actors. The piece reminds one very much of 
Barrie's earlier work, except that Barrie ideal- 
izes the Scot, while Moffatt presents him ex- 
actly as he finds him. Bunty, the winsome 
shrewd little heroine. Is. in a sense. Barrie's 
Maggie over again, and Is just as demure, in- 
flexible and capable. It is Kuntv's capacity 
for managing everything and every one that 
averts a catastrophe . which threatens her old 
rather in the presence of the congregation of 
the cherished kirk, and brings about a happy 
solution to an unpleasantly awkward situation. 
The play Is a really clever study of Scotch life. 
There Is the family of tbe small country store- 
keeper, and all their narrow economies anil 
little love affairs, coupled with tbe rigidnrss of 
their Sabbath-keeping, are set forth in the most 
fascinating ' way. In Thomas Bigser's house 
even the. sunlight Is rigorously excluded on a 
Sabbath day as a desecrating frivolity, and tbe 
moments not spent in the kirk are emploved bv 
the yeungiT members of the family in religious 
study. Tbe Snnday morning In question proves 
to- be one of the liveliest Thomas has ever 
known, for not only does he receive an offer 
of marriage from an elderly spinster, but on 



account of an Indiscretion Is very nearly dis- 
graced in the eyes of the congregation. Without 
Bunty he would indeed have fallen from his 
high estate as elder and wonld probably have 
married tbe designing Miss Simpson. All Is 
told with a fine sense of humor, while the dia- 
logue is crisp throughout and the construction is

NOVELIST-PLAYWRIGHTS RETURN TO 
FIRST LOVE. 

Talking of play writing, it would serni . 
though the influx of the novelist into the realm 
of drama are to cease for a time. In the cm 
"of the two chief Instances, J. M. Barrie an 
Somerset Maugham it is certainly a fact tni 
their energies In this direction have dried t 
for a time. Both have gone back to their Or 
love — the novel — and neither at the moment hi 
any intention of writing a play. Maugham a 
ways declares that bis incursion into the tout 
was one of mere curiosity and that he won 
prefer at any time to be writing bonks. A 
tbe same he bas made a pretty penny out of n 
plays, while Barrie can't have made a bit I. 
than $2,500,000. But the man I would like 
see go in for playwrighting seriously is Willia 
J. Locke, tbe author. Among many other fire 
rate novels of The Beloved Vagabond. T: 
latter certainlv was dramatized and made 
hit at His Majesty's Tieatre, but If Locke w 
only to commence seriously to write for 1 
stage I am convinced he would leave Barr- 
Stanley Wayman and Somerset Maugham t 
behind.

CONT RADIC TION. 

TJnd^r the heading "Stormy T.' Jr. A. Meet." 
a New York vaudeville paper, in a recent issue, 
published an article which Grand Secretary- 



CHAS. W. SCHWEITZER. 




Mr. Schweitzer, while only thirty-one years 
of age. has been connected with the show busi- 
ness for the past twenty years, and there is no 
branch of the profession that he is not thor- 
ouarnly familiar with. -Charley is very popular 
with. T. M. A-'s throughout the United States 
.'ind Canada, which fact was demonstrated at 
Wheeling, where he was elected Chairman of 
the Laws, Appeals and Grievance Committee 
with the largest vote of any of tbe successful 
contestants. . He organized Cincinnati Lodge 
No. 33, February 23. ISO?, and has taken an 
active part m the Institution of several other 
lodges since then. He- represented Cincinnati 
Lodge at St. Loots, in 1909; Minneapolis, In 
1909, at which convention he was elected First 
Grand Vice-President, and again at Wheeling. 
Cincinnati Lodge No. 33 will send a large dele- 
gation to Spokane to ask the Grand Lodge to 
elect Mr, Schweitzer as its Grand President .for 
1913-1914. 



Treasurer Robert C. Newman claimed, while 
in an interview with the Toronto correspondent 
of The Billboard, is a palpable misrepresenta- 
tion. Concerning a clause to the effect that no 
person was eligible to the office of Grand Pres- 
dent of the T. M. A. until he had served in a 
minor office, Mr. Newman stated that this 
clause was eliminated at the St. Louis Conven- 
tion, foor years ago. There Was.a motion made 
to reinstate the clause a year ago, but when it 
was read in- the Grand Lodge Convention at 
Wheeling, before there was any opportunity of 
discussing the question, the member who bad 
offered the resolution requested leave to wlth=. 
draw it, and permission to do so was granted 
by the unanimous vote of the Grand Lodge. No 
protest was entered by any person in the Grand 
Lodge. 

The proposal to. make The Billboard the offi- 
cial organ of the T. M. A, was carried by an 
ov-rwhelming majority. 

Secretary Newman stated that he had not as 
yet served out his term of ten years, but will, 
if he lives until tbe end of tbe present t'-rm. 
His selary Of $1,200 per year has only been 
paid the past two years, as prior to that time 
he received $10 p->r lodge for two years; prior 
to that he received but $5 per lodge-. 

The statement to tbe effect that Mr. K'wnin. 
as Grand Secretary, receives financial remunera- 
tion on a per capita basis Is as f aise as It Is 
ridiculous. When the resolution for the •Hiict- 
ment came before the Grand Lodge, a committee 
to whom It was referred recommended aialnst 
its ni'iption. and being put to a vote, tbe entire} 
Grand Lodge, excepting one niemner. rose in 
support of the committee's recommendation: 
even the m-mheT who offered the resolution op- 
posed It with bis vote on the floor of the con- 
*-enfion. Mr. Newman states posltlvd,,- that 
there was no clash In the meeting of 
tie Grand Lodge at Wheeling. Every 
measure that was frronght forward had a 
f"ir hearing and on open discussion, and If not 
f-nnd in th- best Inte-est of the association, 
-."Wl a natnral death. While opinion, of course, 
('iff rs on many questions (the purpose of the 
convention helne to m»et and discuss matters 
p~- tMninsr to the welfare of anv lodge), the 
snirit of hsrmnnv and frateruitv prevailed 
tlrronghont the entire session at Wheeling, sod 
whit* there tost have been a few disappoint- 
ments, the ntieest percentage: In fact near'v 
e'l. of the deiegntes were entirelv srttsfled. In 
the matter of electing officers, there were "f 
course, a number of delegates who 
nppeint-d In not bavins their candidates elected: 
however, they accented their defeat with good 
grace and booed to be more successful at the 
next convention. ■ 



T. M. A. NOTES.

*!>e Wheeling Convention, wonld like to hear 
from Its members. Dn»s and other commnnl 
cations "lay *e s»nt to H I. Pogeenbnrg, secre-

At the ree»l»r meeting of Cincinnati Lodge 
No. 33. held Wedne-dav nlebt. August 2. Law- 
rence Schueler and J. H. Mayer were initiated 



into tbe lodge. This was the first meeting held 
by No. 33 since the Wheeling Convention, and 
as the members were anxious to know something 
about the convention. Cnas. W. ScXweltxer and 
A C. Hettesheimer, delegates, were called upon 
to give their reports. Mr. Hettesheimer. In a 
few well-chosen remarks, related the salient 
news of the convention, and thanked bis lodge 
for having delegated him to the convention. Mr. 
-Hettesheimer was a member of tbe ' Judiciary 
Committee at the convention, therefore In a po- 
sition to know authentically what was done 
there. Mr." Schweitzer was called upon for his 
.version."" and in a speech lasting ten minutes, 
gave a detailed account of what occurred. Mr. 
Schweitzer, having been a Grand Lodge mem- 
ber for several yars. Is probably in a position 
to know and understand more thoroughly than 
the ordinary member tbe workings of a conven- 
tion, and his description of what took place 
was so comprehensive and clear that members 
»f Lodge No. 33 now know what happened at 
Wheeling nearly as wen as If they had attended 
in person. Mr. Schweitzer thsuked the lodge 
for what tbey have done for him, also extended 
his appreciation for courtesies extended by the 
Grand Lodge.

perfect. 5,000 people were in attendance on 
the fourth and last day. The attractions In- 
cluded baseball, show ring, midway, Harry Tle- 
rl's Schoolroom act, balloon ascensions, etc. The 
list of privileges was about the same as are 
employed at all fairs; but no gambling or Im- 
moral shows were allowed. Industrial condi- 
tions were good, and the racing program, both 
harness and running, was excellent. 




STATE AIDS FAIR. 

Shreveport, La., August 1 (Special to The 
Billboard). — The $100,000 bond Issue for the 
Immediate Improvement of the Louisiana State 
Fair grounds was carried to an overwhelming 
victory. The directors of , the Louisiana State 
Fair are rejoicing over this victory, especially.

nally was the topic for discussion by the as- 
sembled secretaries, as was the advertising end 
of the business and the control of freaks and 
fakes. Sam S. Sollnsky, assistant secretary 
of the Southeast Texas Fair, In charge of con- 
cessions, spoke on Handling Amusements and 
Concessions, and J. E. Surratt treated the 
county fair from the farmers' view point. The 
subject of financing fair enterprises, and the 
establishment of a safety fund to insure pay- 
ments of expenses In case of bad weather or 
other untoward events was one of the Interest- 
ing topics for discussion. 

Those in attendance at this meeting felt 
well repaid and are confident of a broad and 
strong organization which will do much to bring 
Texas fairs to the front as the beat fairs in the 
South. Already the fame of the Texas fair Is 
spreading, although many of them are but 
matters of a few years growth, and it Is the 
aim of those back of the organization to ma- 
terially strengthen them through co-operative 
effort. 

FAIR SECRE TARIE S' REPORTS. 

(It Is the Intention of The Billboard to publish 
each, week reports of fairs held during the 
season of 19U. These reports will constitute 
a valuable record of the business done by the 
-various societies, and should be of inestimable 
value to concessionaires and fair followers.) 

The Saskatoon Agricultural and Industrial Ex- 
hibition at Saskatoon, Canada, of which David 
Douglas Ig secretary, held Its fair from June 
30 to July 4. The attendance the first day was 
6.000. despite the fact that there were heavy 
showers during the day. The second day, a 
very meager attendance was due to the -heavy 
rains all day. On the third day. 16. 000 people 
attended, and the weather was fair until in 
the evening, when It rained. 6,500 people were 
present on the Fourth, although there were 
heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon. Indus- 
trial conditions were excellent, and the free 
acts, which Included Gns Henderson. Fink's 
Mules and Dogs. Marlasoff Troupe of Russian 
Dancers. Wlshard Sisters. Borrislno Trio, and 
Trick House act gave satisfaction. The North- 
west Amusement Company, of which H. 4 
Wilbur is manager, was engaged but failed to 
appear, and consequently caused the association 
considerable trouble. 

The Montpeller Fan- and Driving Association 
held their fair July 18 to 21 at Montpeller. 
Inil. C. L. Smith, secretary, states that the 
weather was fine throughout the entire meet 
and that the attendance was as follows: First 



as they won with so large a majority. Con- 
tracts have been let, and the work on the ac- 
tual construction of the buildings will begin at 
once. I-t Is hoped that these new structures 
Will be completed in time for the opening of 
the fair, which Is October 31. The bond issue 
practically decides that Shreveport will here- 
after be the permanent location for the Louisi- 
ana. State Fair. The city will own all of the 
Improvements for eleven months in the year, 
and the fair grounds wilt be open to the people 
as a public park and recreation grounds. A 
massive grandstand of steel construction will 
be the most important addition to the fair 
grounds. There will be other buildings, in- 
cluding an art museum and coliseum, but the 
biggest effort will be directed towards having 
the grandstand ready when the fair opens. Sec- 
retary Louis 'N. Brueggehoff Is at present very 
busy getting matters into shape for the big 
fair, which he sangulnely hopes will be the 
greatest event of its kind ever held in the 
state. 



A CLEVE R IN VENTION. 

The Tenacity Manufacturing Company of Cin- 
cinnati have patented an article that for sim- 
plicity, durability and utility Is unrivalled. The 
device Is a small nickel-plated clasp, and is 
designed to eliminate the constant annoyance 
known to drivers of vehicles, caused by the 
trace slipping off the whlflletree. The new In- 
vention makes it possible to adjust the traces 
In the dark, and takes the place of the leather 
strap which Is constantly wearing out or break- 
ing. It is absolutely safe and sure and Is an ar- 
ticle that every vehicle owner needs. Fair follow- 
ers will find this an excellent article to sell 
to farmers.

FAIR NOTES. 



The Mesilla Taller Fair Association. La Crn- 
ces. New Mexico, will hold the first regular an- 
nual fair tbls year. The association draws Its 
support from the entire Mesilla Valley of New 
Mexico, where the United States Government Is 



spending $9,000,000 on an Irrigation plant to ir- 
rigate 200.000 acres of farming land in the 
valley of the B16 Grande. This fair will draw 
large crowds from the Bio. Grande valley as 
far north as Socorro. N. ST.. and including El 
I'aso. Texas, on the South — El Paso -has decided 
to cut out. their fair this year and will unite 
with the Las Cruc'es boosters to make' tbe fair at 
that place the event of the Southwest. The 
Mesilla Valley Is primar- an alfalfa produc- 
ing community, the farmers are interested In ir- 
rigation subjects, pumping plants and fruit cul- 
ture, they are good spenders, have plenty of 
money, the alfalfa crop and various other 
crops this year will average £300,000 in tbe val- 
ley.. The association anticipate a very large at- 
tendance at the fair. For special attractions 
there will be an automobile race from El Paso 
for stock cars — there will be excursions from 
points both North and South, and the association 
will have two blocks of a midway that will pro- 
vide ample grounds for all concessions. 

Frank Wlrth, nephew of the Wlrtb Brothers, 
famous Australian snowmen, whose Greatest 
Shows on Earth are the Antipodean equivalent 
for Barnum & Bailey's and RingKng Brothers, 
passed through Chicago last Monday ou bis way 
to New York, and called at The Billboard of- 
fices. Frank, together with Marixles, Stella and 
May. constitute the Four Wlrths, who are said 
to be without peers among Australian riders, 
which is going some. Stella is a trick rider: 
Frank does Boman riding, and May, who just 
turned sixteen while crossing the Pacific, fea- 
tures forward, backward, twisting somersault 
riding, in which performance she Is said to be 
unrivalled. The Wlrths left Australia on June 
IS. and spent one month In Bouolulu, Hawaii, on 
their way to Vancouver. They will go into 
training in New York for a season with the

fairs, having an offer of tbe United Fairs Book- 
ing Association under consideration. 

After many years of effort the cities of 
Port Arthur and Fort William, Ontario, have 
got together and Joined bands In the purchase of 
a Joint fair site situated half In the city of 
Port Arthur and half In Fort William, altogether 
some twenty acres, and leased It to tbe Fair 
Assoclantion for a period of years. The associa- 
tion bas this year expended some $20,000 in per- 
manent buildings and improvements and tbe lay- 
ing out and making of a standard half-mile 
track. No effort Is being spared to make the 
1911 fair a grand success. The site, situated as 
It is between the Mclntyre and Neeblng Elvers 
and on tbe dividing line between tbe two 
cities Is an Ideal one. Easy of access from 
the center of both cities by a double-track car 
line and on tbe main road from city to city, 
assuring a large attendance dally. 

If present Indications can be relied upon, the 
Trl-County Fall Festival and Exposition to he 
held on the beautiful grounds of tbe Illinois 
Valley Fair Association at Grlggs'vllle.- 111., 
September 19-23. inclusive, will be the blgfrest 
event in Western Illinois this season. Exten- 
sive preparations are being made In each de- 
partment to make It complete in every detail. 
The agricultural exhibit will be large. Besides 
the exhibitions many other features will be 
presented during the week. There will be aero- 
plane flights, day and night parades, contests 
and other special attractions. Fireworks will 
be put ou two nights during the week. A 
good carnival company will be put on tbe mid- 
way. Cbas. A. Penny of Barry. 111., Is tbe 
general manager of the association. 

"Uncle Dan" Boylngton, who is known from 
coast to coast as the most successful and humane 
horse trainer extant, and who was Identified for 
many years with 101 Ranch, has Just arrived 
in Chicago from Brighton Beach, Coney Island, 
New York. He has taken the Alrdome at River- 
view Exposition, and has installed bis re- 
markable company, consisting of 22 mules, 2 
horses and 2 buffaloes, where be Is playing to 
good business. Uncle Dan bad the misfortune 
to lose one of bis favorite mules, Idly, from 
lockjaw, last 'week. 

The Interest being manifested by manufac- 
turers and merchants, not only of New York 
but of distant states. In the New York State 
Fair to be held at Syracuse. September 11-16. is 
indicated by the unusual demand for space in 
the exhibition buildings. Secretary S. C. 
Shaver of the State Fair Commission, who has 
been busy for several weeks considering applica- 
tions, announces that all of the exhibitors* 
space In the Manufacturers and Liberal Arts 
Building and the Dairy Building bas been sold.

ises to far surpass anytblnr ever seen In tbat 
vicinity, and the old association has had some 
pretty nifty seasons. Four thousand dollars will 
be offered for trotting, pacing and running 
races with $400 purses. 

Ezra Meeker, who has been Journeying from 
Puyallup. Wash., across the continent to mark 
the old Oregon Trail, across which he treked In 
1854. when he emigrated from Indiana to the 
Oregon Country, will visit the Iowa State Fair at 
Des Moines in September, and bas several other 
agricultural fairs in tbe Middle West under 
consideration. 

Ten shows have bean booked for the midway 
at the Franklin County Fair to be held at tbe 
Columbus (O.l Driving Park, August 8 to 11. 
The shows will be of a hl*h standard and will 
probably do a good business. The fair will

THE TWO BILLS' SHOW. 

By JT. AL PEARCE. 

\t Springfield, 111.. July 27. we had a small- 
Wed riot on our hands, which continued for 
tin- croater part of the evening, caused by a 
.clasb between some few of the town whites 
an.i a member of the colored band with tbe 
#Imw A* 1» well known, there Is an Intense, 
f cling towards colored people In this partic- 
ular town, and some of the rougher white ele- 
ment, ready for trouble at all times, made 
*,me of onr people the object of their hatred. 
I may truthfully say. without provocation. _The 
colored people, to the number of about flf ty. 
banded together and resented the unwarranted 
-attack on them. At one time upwards of tw» 
fcnndred people were Involved in a rock throw- 
ing contest and neither side aeesaed to be par- 
ticular as to who was hit. Eventually, with 
the assistance of the police and the cooler 
heads of both factions, quiet was restored, 
tlwtiich It was necessary to secretly convey the 
tnajorlty of our colored people to the sleeping 
cars that night. - 

our business has been exceedingly large at 
every stand for the past week. In fact, a 
sr.-at improvement is seen since the Chicago 
engagement. We have had a number of rainy 
days that have Interfered to some extent with 
ilh> Business, bnt sot sufficiently to be really 

injurious. 

At Qulncv. III., July 29. the superintendent 
of the local traction systi m ailmlttid that they 
had been unable to handle the -crowds. 

Spent Sunday. July 30. In Keokuk. Iowa, 
where Fr-ink Winch, our press agent, pulled 
a very Interesting and timely article on dams — - 
n-it swenr wi*rda. but a comparison of the won- 
derful engineering feat of tbe new dam on the 
Meslwuppl side at Keokuk and the Shoshone 
dim at Cody. Wyo. The local lodge of Elks 
here extended an Invitation to all the brothers 
with the show to spend Sunday at their camp 
located Just outside of the city. About all the 
Elks with the show spent the greater part 
of the day there ami had a most enjoyable 
time. The MuMgau Club also had another 
onting here aud I'm told that It was the 
most interesting event that they have had. 

Billy Austin, tbe purchasing agent or the 
show, had the misfortune to tie kicked by a 
horse In Burlington. Iowa, hr-aklug his arm. 
Though so doubt suffering great pain. Billy 
has not lost any time. but. has looked after hie 
business as usual and Is right on the job. 

Mr. and Mrs. Bert Davis. "Uncle Hiram and 
Aunt I.uclndy." were absent at Burlington, 
having gone to Chicago" to attend ' the theat- 
rical picnic as guests of the committee, and 
Pert says he never knew there were so many 
t'-eatrtcol people as be met while there, and 
was never treated more royally or had a bet- 
ter time In his life, and "Aunt Lucindy" says: 
"Me, too." 

Ameen Ahou Hamad, who has the Aran acro- 
batic troupe here, has hi-en obliged to leave 
temporarily on account of 111 health, and Is 
now at Excelsior Springs.. Mo. lie informs me 
that he Is reeling better and Is in hopes of re 
turning soon. 

William Crawford !» a rocent addition to 
the sideshow front, having taken the ptae. of 
Billy Nelson, who bad left for tbe East to 
operate his own show on the Eastern fairs. 

Captain O. K. White, who baa been absent 
some time on account of illness. Is once more 
with tut, not looking as well aa formerly but 
rapidly Improving. 

Harry English, one of tbe twenty-fonr hour 
men here, haa left to go In advance of one 
of the leading melodramatic production*. While 
this was bis first experience In this line, be 
made good and that Is at least some satis- 
faction. 

Major Ullle. "Pawnee Bill." has return--! 
from a business trip to Pawnee, Okla. The 
major la enjoying excellent health and his ap- 
pearance Indicates the fact. 



HERE AND T HERE. 

By STJT WEADIOX 

Paris, France, July 24.— After two weeks of 
rainy weather the sun Is again shining, and 
it Is new getting very hot here. The summer 
parks and outdoor attractions are doing a good 
business, bnt not so good as they would do If 
"was not so warm. These French people are 
«itrerent from Americana. The weather has 
jo be Just so. or they don't move around much.

to fill over here, we can not return to God's 
Country ' at present, much as we would like 
to. 

Iteuxrts Bay no one has anything on Johnnie 
Agee with tbe RIngllug Show when It comes 
to blowing the whist e to put a show oh and off. 
Well, bis tutor, Al Singling, was some whistle 
blower himself. 

Boss Glen and Claude Humphries, the bucking 
horse riders from Midland, Texas, considered a 
couple of the best ln tbe Southwest, have been 
offered an engagement with the Ca.lfornla 
Frank Wild West Show. 

Dick Hamlin of the team of Dick and Louise 
Hani'In. the dancers, recently made such a 
sbowlut In Asbury Park, N. J., that there la 
some talk of his going Into training to meet 
Jack Johnson 

Tom Wllmatn and wife. Hon tamers, former- 
ly with Rollins' Animal Show' In the 101 Ranch 
annex, are at present with the 91g. Sautelle 
Show. . .. - ,- 

Major Llllte (Pawnee Bill) bag Just returned 
to tbe show after a visit ' tot his ranch -at 
Pawnee, Okla. Upon bis arrival at the ranch he 
found nineteen full-blooded buffalo caHes, 
which la a great addition to his already large 
buffalo herd. 

Heard that Miss Lulu Parr, one of the Two 
Bills Show cowgirls, has announced her Inten- 
tion of retiring from tbe show business at the 
close of the present season and intends to go 
as a missionary to teach the Gospel to tbe 
heathen Chinese. (Sunday-School note.) 

Understand Col. F. T. Cummins has returned 
to America to frame a new Wild West for the 
season of 1912. He has made many friends in 
Europe durlnc bis three years' stay over here, 
who all loin In wishing him success in his new 
venture. 

Frank Oalngs. who was chief of tbe Indian 
police or. tie Pine Ralge Agency. S. D., is the 
official :n:eri- eter here at the Indian village. 
He was sen over here by the Government to 
look out for t ic Sioux Interests. Siys he wish's 
to be remt-u I --rod to Eddie Botsford. California 
Frank and '"om Weidemann, -whose acquain- 
tances he made at Pine Ridge when they visited 
that place lo secure Indians for - the larger- 
Wild West snow. Mr. Goings, ' who has been 
a Government employee for years, says he 
thinks he w-11 go with some big Wild West 
show ln the States next season as interpreter 
for the Indians. 

Ferdinand \koun, who has the Indian Vil- 
lage here, has engaged a couple of 'teachers 
to teach the Indian children ln the Tillage both 
French and English. _* 

The new aviation department in Ta° BP1- 
board is being read over here by many French - 
aviators who eagerly look forward to each Is- 
sue to get the correct dope jn that "line of 
business In the amusement few. 

This Is all for now. Will appreciate very 
much to have the address of Bill Doss, the 
Human Telescope, formerly with the Barnntn

P. S.— Geo. F. Kiley. the well-known ad- 
vertising agent, who halls from Chicago, 
and who came to this conntry in that capacity 
with Col. F. T. Cnmmlns. is here ln PaTis 
on a visit after a very successful sojourn in 
Italy. He has been a dailv visitor to th« 
Indian Village here for the past week, renewing 
acquaintances with -Chief Flat Iron and many 
of the Sioux Indians who were with Col. Cum- 
min's Indian Congress at the Pan-Amerii-an 
Exposition in Buffalo. X. T.. in 1901. 

JOHNNY BAKER. 

Johnny Baker. t»e expert marksman. or<ran- 
ixer and arenic director, measures his success 
in life' with a long rule, one that hasn't been 
at all times without its rough e.|ires ehe us"--' 
kind that come to a yonag fellow of grit and 
spunk who starts out In life with but little 
more than a healthy grit and determination 
to succeed. 

Mr. Baker Is the best-known marksman and 
all round ride shot in tbe world. For thirty 
years he has bs*en demonstrating his. skill with 
Ih- Buffalo Bill exhibition; he has appeared 
V'-tim- millions of Americans and every crown d 
head ot Europe has welcomed him heartily, he 
being summoned several times before the late 
King Edward and the present King George V. 

Jolumy Baker was born in 1KR8 ln Western 
N-hr-tska. oh the old overland trail. His 
Co in pan ons in youth were mostly Indians, cow- 
boy- and frontiersmen: he took naturally to 
the saddle anl soon evidenced- a marked ability 
for shooting. He was adopted as tbe foster 
son an' pupil of Col. Wm. F. Cody. "Buffalo 
Bill." and ever since has been with him. On 
Jniv 4 -K82. Johnny Baker parttripsted in the 
first W> 4 West p-rfomiance ever given: this 
was at North Platte, Seb. He. was a youngs- 
ter then, his dvtie» were not severe: bnt as the 
Wild W«»t grow, he grew with It and eventu- 
ally became Irs arcnte director and producer of 
its big spectacles sad scenic effects, which po- 
sition be now holds with redounding credit ta 
himself. Mr. Baker has tke active handling ef 
nearly a thousand men and worxen with the 
exhibition. It Is he who evolves the difficult 
drills. He oversees and personally supervisee 
every movement ln the arena of the Buffalo. 
B1U Wild West-Pawnee Bill Far East, the big- 
gest tented attraction in the world, and next to 
CoL Codv. he knows more about the general 
details "behind the scenes" than any man

CARNIVAL CONVERSATION. 

By "BED ONION." 

They have started South. 

♦ 

The crying need of most managers Is fore- 
u>ught. How many of them book more than 
ve weeks ahead? 

Workers and not posers are wanted In this 
uslness. Fact not theory. 

♦ 

F. A. Brigham, who was the general agent, 
st season for the Polhlll Amusement Com- 
ny, was a visitor to the carnival In Rahway. 

■ J- By the way, where Is the Poihlll Com- 
^.ny this season? Everyone speaks well of Pol- 

' ♦ 

The Bremen In Plalnfleld, N. J., want a car- 
Ival. See the chief— not police. 

Who Is the best queen contest promoter? 
here Is Plets? Where is Stuart? 

* 

T. C. Toungman and 7. A. Campbell, two 
ever fellows, are operating a new concession, 
sown as the Miniature Automatic Race-horse 
ran*. They have been on the road 11 weeks 
id their attraction has been a winner. 
^ + 

There is an unusual demand for trained wild 
liraal shows at the fairs. I take pleasure In 
idorsing the two Ferarl Shows. Backman's, 
dwards' and Smith's and two others. 
♦ 

Victor D. Levett goes back in the game soon, 
e won't tell anymore. 

+ 

Sam Barney Smith, at; the Mohawk Pines. 
«y, N. Y., recently. He is operating a half 
«en concessions at that resort. He will play 
■Mrs this fall. 

* 

George L. Mcfarlane, the press agent, raves 
iisly: "It has remained for Fred Mitchell of 
illside park, N. J., to make the latest, and 
■ooaWy the most Important discovery in the 
Jmal training line in recent years. By this I 

■ er to Captain Peter Taylor, a mere boy, who 
•;v Is bundling the big Hon feature act with 
i. trancls Fcrnrl's new show, and who already 
» demonstrated that the Bonavltas, the Rlcar- 
* "id Johannlngs must look to their laurels. 
". JS 04 authority I am told that Taylor Is 
» IS years of age, and he looks the part. Yet 
' handles his lion group and the other animals 

the Ferarl Show with the skill, daring and 
"i judgment of a veteran. At the same time 
miist be admitted that the young man belongs 
the veteran class, as he was raised In the 
miai bnsin'.ss, and played among the lions as 
f. * ,er0 R o boy plays among bla puppies and 
,,'B S - . Hn served his apprenticeship on the 
I'lnent and in England, and was brought to 
Is country by Frank C. Bostock. It was Mr. 
"cliell. however, who gave him hla first good 



chance at the Bartel animal farm. From there 
be has passed to Ferarl, and unless my judg. 
ment is all at sea, the animal men will bear 
a lot mure about Taylor before many moons 
have passed." Having sten Taylor work 1 en- 
dorse Mr. Mcfarlane's opinion of the "kid" ver- 
batim. So be It, Horatius, turn loose the 
lions. rf 

* i - 

John P. Martin, the well-known, but very 
silent theatre promoter, paid a visit to the car- 
nival in Uahway. N. J. Mr. Martin Is asso- 
ciated with some of the big Interests. He has 
a habit of promoting picture shows wherever he 
thinks one Is needed. So much for ability. 
* 

Have yon ever heard a so-called talker get 
np In front of a show and say: "Ladies 
aud gentleman; .1 am not going to take up your 
time with a tiresome and lengthy talk regard 
lng the merits of this attraction," Then do 
exactly the opposite and when be was through 
nothing bad been said that convinced the pub- 
lic that he know what he was talking about. A 
real talker -uses tact and does not contradict 
himself. Deny this,, orators. " - 
+ 

I heard Col. Francis Ferarl make the first 
opening on his show. In Rahway. He mikm 
good without an effort. 

DanBar's Goat and Pony -Circus is framed up 
and" run lh a real sbowmanlike manner. The 
ballyhoo baud is the beat I have heard this 
season. 

* 

Mr. and Mrs. A. (Frenchv and Mable) Du- 
mont made money In Nyack. N. X\, with their 
concessions. They go to France this winter. 

Prof. W. Heckler, a great German student of 
"lingology," , has out two companies putting on 
his celebrated flea performers. Heckler displays 
considerable showmanship iu Ms frame ops and 
' shows the value of clever talk in connection 
with the performance. Rudolph, the trained 
flea, is featured with his Number 1 Company, 
and believe me "Budie" Is some "bug." 
♦ 

I W. H. <Si) Cleveland is summering and win- 
tering in Kingston, N. Y. Si is running a mov- 

' lng picture show, (Si) hss many friends in the 
business of conniving. Where Is "Buck" Tur- 
ner?

Tompkins' Wild West opens the fair season 
week Aug. 22 at Bangor, Me., followed by a cir- 
cuit of fairs in New York state. The feature 
of the show aside from * H e excellent wort 
of Mr. Tompkins in rid! and roping are: 
Miss Mable Hackney and r dancing horse. 

I Vardins: Chief White Cloud In a bow and arrow 
Impalement act, using Little Margaret Smil- 
ing Face as the target. Cricket, the Georgian 

' Pickanninnie Clown, and his donkey. Pretzel: 
Master Robert Dunlap and the beautiful edu- 
cated bronco Indian Chief aud three of the great- 
est bucking broncos in the world, Commancbe. 
Spot and Ponchita. In addition to these features 
he puts on a regular real Wild West perform- 
ance by real sons and daughters of the ranch 
and plains. The roster or the show: Charles H. 
Tompkins, general manager; Mable Hackney 
treasurer; M. A. Turner, general agent; H. W. 
Turner contracting agent: George L. Mcfarlane, 
press agent: Wm. Anraette. bandmaster: Chief 
White Cloud, in charge of Indians; Ed. Running 
Dog. Henry Kokomoka, Joe Wolf. White Cloud, 
Pete Red Jacket. Lizzie White Cloud and Mar- 
garet Smiling Face. Chief of cowboys and 
girls. James Pidcock: Ed. Fog, Will Moore, Clin- 
ton Sheopard and Dolly Yarden. The general 
merit of the Tompkins organization is too well- 
known to need further comment. 

Henry Meyerhoft says he "is In the carnival 
business to stay." Will he? I give hlnj credit 
for his ability to get shows together. No more 
now. .; 

George W. Tomasso passed through New York 
recently. He said he had one or two proposi- 
tions under way which he would jratllne In The 
Billboard as soon as his plans are complete. 
It will be remembered that Tomasso was the 
first man to book a carnival company Into Cuba. 
The company made money. 

♦ 

C H. (Doc) Sterns, the well-known talker, 
has been on the front of the Francis Ferarl 
Animal Arena for the past eleven seasons, miss- 
ing only one season. I think that is a record 
that speaks well for Stearns' ability and at- 
tention to duty. He holds the record.

Norfolk. Key West. Coldwater, Meridian, Dc- 
catur. McKeesport. -Knoxville Houston and 
Flint are all excellent carnival towns. 

GREATER UNITED SHOW GOSSIP. 
By TOX NORTH. 



Over at Oshkosh. Wis., the week of July 24, 
the Greater United Shows, nnder the auspices 
of a local organisation In that city played to a 
tremendous business. Monday night the weather 
was of such chilliness that led one to believe it 
was a winter festival he was attending In 
place of a summer festival, as advertised. At 
the paid gate the turnstile registered 4.1S6 
paid admissions, and this In the- face of ex- 
treme cold weather. Conditions brightened up 
a bit the next day and also warmed up a bit. 
and the turnstile registered over 6 000, and 
so It continued until the end of the week. Rain 
Saturday night spoiled what might have been 
the largest attendance a paid gate carnival has 
ever experienced. Satisfaction given by the 
Greater United Shows was of the very best. City 
officials and everybody was pleased.^even to the 
Methodist folks who surrounded the lot and 
who also out no a meeting stand Inside the 
enclosure. Absolute cleanliness of. the greater 
United Shows has placed Messrs. J. B. Warren 
and E. F. Orrnthera In the fore ranks of the 
carnival business. 



Starting down the Hat of the attractions 
with the Greater United Shows, from the circus 
to the smallest pitch. I will try to tell you the 
"Who's Who." 

The big one-ring circus and wild animal 
show Is under the general management of J. 
Frank Longbotham: Geo. Hodge. announcer; 
Fred C. Locke and Mrs. Geo. M. Hodge, ticket 
sellers; Geo. F. Holland, equestrian director, 
and the following Hollands as riders, clowns 
etc.: John F.. Will. Gilford. James. Bert, Mr.?. 
John and Mrs. Geo. F. Handling the wild ani- 
mals. Cant. Joseph Murohv and Capt. Curly 
Stecker; Bob Armor has charge of the canvas: 
Reggie Mow. assistant boss cuuv-isuinn; Geo. 
Detterville, boss animal man; ' l-'re.l Wasrner, 
boss pony man, assisted by Chas. ilriffin; Wbliy 
Wbite. boss chandelier man. 

With Maxine, the educated mnle (the male 
with the human brain): Thos. West, sole 
«wuer and manager; show Is under the direction 
of C. L. "Doc" Campbell, who is also the 
talker; equestrian director. Chas. Bennett, as- 
sisted bv Laura Bennett. The band is under 
the direction of M. F. Warren, with the f -l!ow- 
lne members: John Lawson. Chas. Wilson. Hud- 
ley B. Warren, Will S. Hunter, Leon Wheatley. 
Edw. Warren. Nelson Ware and Chas. Fifilar. 
The ticket sellers are Chris Fahrbach and Chas. 
West: boss canvasman. Curly White, and Chas. 
Butler, groom. A large commissary department 
also accompanies this organization. 

The Fair Amusement Co. has the noodle dogs. 
The tremendous business tbey are doing Is the 
talk of the country — $2,700 at Marinette, Wis., 
for the week. Getmaa has the cook house, or 
In parlance of carnival language, the "grease 
Joint." 

W. S. Hears' Human Roulette Wheel Is a 
veritable mint. Lon Williams hss the picture 
show, little horse and penny arcade. 

The regular, genuine "Indianapolis" Miller 
has the Carousel, Lew Finch has the Hoop-la 
and a pair of baby racks. Lon likes to harmon- 
ise and also talk of the time when he gets to 
St. Louis to see Dan Flsbell and play the pi- 
ano. 



Mrs—Armstrong has the fat. folksy-Mr. ~*"ry 
has the Candy floss, and cider mill- andVA T. 
Wright claims that Fry is the only man who 
has made money with the floss candy. Chas- 
Tyler, with his Electrical City, Is the hit of the 
show from the educational standpoint, from 
the mechanical standpoint and from the stand- 
point of every one that sees It. Mrs. Tvler is 
the ticket seller and treasurer, the latter be- 
ing necessary on account of Mr. Tyler's recent 
serious escapade. 

Geo. Kadic is tbe orator and half owner of 
the Octopus. Mr. Kadic derived his ocfoous 
education at the Bay of Nanles. Italy. Can 
Andrews Is the manager of the attraction- 
Little Lord Roberts, the human doll, 1» the 
prime attraction, under the management of S. 
C. Kanter; Tom Hurd is the lecturer, and the 
two pianists are Miss Krause and Elmer Notts. 
Little Lord Roberts tells me he Is with the 
United Fair Booking Association this summer 
simply for a vacation. As soon as the carnival 
season ends, Roberts returns to the United Time 
for the fall and winter. 

Now comes the incomparable Jake Sternad 
and his Nap.-nees. Jake has more than made 
good with his boys and gh-ls under canvas* this 
season. He is his own manager and lecturer. 
His company consists of Vera Noble, Martha 
Cyper, May Whitfield. Ethel Roberta, Hazel 
May. Alonzo Pettlcord. Bar Knmmery, John 
Kearney. Lawrence Leland and Chas Rialt. The 
stage Is nnder the direction of Petticordj r 
Coultto Allen is the managing director; Edwin 
"Spike " Long has charge of the tickets; Pink 
has charge of the mess, assisted by BUI Thomas 
and Bill Simpson; John Dardin has the canvas, 
assisted 'by Chas. Evelyn. Jake's "eats" are 
the same as procured at any first-class cafe, 
and a great deal better than many so-called 
first-class cafes. 

C Kanter hss a new feature In the Umbrella 
Wheel; be is assisted by Sid Potter and Henry 
Wolf. 

Geo. H. Schafer has tbe Vamnire production* 
Ed- H. Bell, announcer; Jack Douglas, llluslon-

PHILADELPHIA PARK NOTES. 

Chestnut Hill Park continues to be the. gath- 
ering-place for numerous organizations and es- 
pecially a large number or extensive family 
reunions. Manager Auchy has b» en very en- 
ergetic in this feature of the White City's 
success and this season's record will show 
rapid strides In making the beautiful park 
one of the most popular In the state. Angnst 
5 was celebrated as G. A. B. Day and hundreds 
of old veterans gathered there to fight the 
battles over again and witness the unfurling 
of a mammoth flag in their honor. 

Preparations are now being made for the 
park's biggest annual event— the Farmers' Pic- 
nic — which will be held at the resort from 
September 5. to 0. This has always been <t 
highlv successful affair in previous years and 
novelties will be presented this time that 
will make the immense picnic a memorable 
one. 

At WlKow Grove Park, the Russian Svm- 
phony Orchestra completed the third and final 
week of its engigement at the nark, and thp 
Philadelphia Orchestra, with W-asilli Lcps as 
director; opened their engagement of- two weeks 
August 8. ' Probably no musical, organization 
has so won favor with PhUnilelpuIans as the 
Russian Symphony Orchestra under the leader- 
ship of Modest Altschnler and his special pro 
grams and svmphony nights were a rare treat. - 
His most impressive effort was the interpre- 
tation of Tchnlkowsk.Vs Symphony Path- 
etlque. and . the applause which followed It 
was the most prolonged ever heard at the 
great music pavilion In the park. 



Children's Day was celebrated last week 
more than lO.OiiO kidili.s enjoying £r.et_.iiniu££i_ 
c-: a uts in the m<Tn!ng and participating 'n a 
mammoth musical festival In the afternoon. 
This is one of Manager Wynkoop's f-trorfte 
celebrations and every youngster voted the day 
as the best in a.I the year. Coronation, pic- 
tures are being shown in the Tours of the 
World, and all the amusements and concessions 
are doin£ record-toppling business. 

On- of the greatest park successes, which will 
he duplicated in future years, was -the iniug- 
nration of Army and Navy Day at Washington 
Park on the Delaware July 29. Man-lger H. F. 
Stetser has been uusptriag io h's efforts to 
make the day a sncci-ss and It was so voted 
by hundreds of jackles and marines who took 
part in. the varied and exciting program pro- 
vided for them. The sailors came from t:ie 
battleships,; at League Island Navy Yard, di- 
rectly opposite the park, -together with the 
marines stationed there. Captain A. W. Grant, 
commandant at the yard, acted as referee, and 
there were' silver enps and prizes awarded t'lf 
successful 'contestants. Aquatic sports and 
boat racing furnished the chief sports, together 
with a baseball game and a dozen other events 
on shore. "Thousands visited the park to view 
the affair and the officers of both the nnvy 
and marine branches apparently enjoyed the 
day as much as the enlisted men. 

Pullo's Marine Band ended a four-weeks suc- 
cessful' engagement and, the Imperial Concert 
Band, with A. Passeri as director, began t 
three-week* engagement July 30. Governor Wll

PARK NOTES. 



Mille Essie Fay was the feature attraction 
at Olentauy Park, Columbus, Ohio, last week. 
She presented her spectacuiar production Fire 
and Flames, featuring her equine marvel Ara 
bia. the horse with the human brain. 

The snnraer park season at Richmond. Va.. 
which will close the middle or next month, has 
been the most profitable in the history of the 
local amusement field. The J. H. Livingston 
Amusement Co.. Col. J. H. Livingston, presi- 
dent and general manager, has reaped a golden 
harvest, the fruits of the monopoly secured by 
that concern on the summer park business 
here at the opening of the season. Forrst Hill 
Park, under the direction of Col. H. Livingston, 
has proved the heaviest profit-taker in the 
summer park field in the South. Idlewood 
Park, the only real opposition, was absorbed by 
the Livingston Company last spring and Is now 
tiring reconstructed. It being obviously the pur- 
pose of the new company to throw all the 
business to Forest Hill this season. The Vir- 
g'nia Railway & Power Co.. of which Frank 
J. Gould of New York is the controlling head, 
owns the two parks. Col. Livingston Individu- 
ally obtained from Mr. Gould and h-'s partners 
in the railway, a year ago, a -ten-vear lease 
on Forest Hill. Another $100,000 is to be 
spent on improvements for Forest Hill this 
winter and next spring. 

Business at Electric Park, Waterloo, Iowa, 
continues good. The new search-light recently 
installed is the talk of the country for miles 
around, and keeps attention on the park. A 
fire in the resistance box on the steeple holding 
the searchlight caused considerable excitement a 
few nights ago. and threatened the destruction 
of the big roller coaster. Prompt action with 
hr>nd extinguishers kept the loss down to about 
$f00. Arthur Webb's Concert Band and a 
weekly vaudeville bill are among the attrac- 
tions, with a big display of Gregory's fireworks 
on Friday evenings as an extra attraction. 

The park and race track formerly owned by 
the Driving Park Association at Owosso, Mich., 
has been purchased b~ W. J- Dowling and Jas. 
Corcoran, and the name changed to the D. & C. 
Park. A number of Improvements have been 
made, a new fence built, trees set out, and a 
new grand stand is -ow building. Labor I>-i v 
will be the u> day at this park. There will be 
running and harness races, balloon ascensions, 
baseball, etc. 

Highland Park. Jackson. Tean., has not been 
opened this season, but extensive Improvements 
are under way for next season, among tbem a 
scenic railway; and zoo. It is possible that if 
these attractions are finished In time they will 
be operated to' some extent this season. The :1m- 
provements are being made by the Terre Haute 
Amusement Co. of Terre Haute, Ind., under the 
direction of H. L. Brelnlng. 

Francesco Donnegand. formerly pianist at tbe 
I iberty Theatre. Pittsburg, has been engaged as 
pianist and leader at Shady Grove Park. Union-

Harrr Wilson and bis P. & W. Players opened

24, at the Fort Scott (Kan.) Airdome, and were 
warmly welcomed by a packed house. The com- 
pany carry their own. symphony orch- stra, which 
gives a thlrty-mlnuto concert before the curtain

23 SUCCESSFUL YEARS IN THE BUSINESS — SHIPPING GOODS TO EVERY COUNTRY UNDER THE SUN, 

We Handle Everything that Streetmen, Schemists, Concessionaires and Vendors Need. 

Our goods are sellers — no if's and maybe's about them. We have been long enough in the business to know what to buy and what will sell. Our lines for 
streetmen are made up of rich, flashy, attractive goods at a low cost. That combination spells "BIG PROFITS," and Big Profits spells "MAKING 
MONEY" — the Game you're out for. 

_ After you get tired of failures and experimenting with the "dope" offered by the fly-by-night houses, then — TRY US, and we predict your success starts I 
with your first order from us. « 

WE PROTECT OUR CUSTOMERS by not sending catalogue to consumers; therefore, when writing for catalogue state what kind of business you are engaged 
in, so we can distinguish you from a consumer.

REALLY 
FUNNY 

To watch the tactics resorted to hy 
the Trust endeavoring to check the 
very large falling off in their business 
ana its efforts to regain part of it 
by bringing suit against Independent 
exhibitors upon the Latham Loop 
Patent No. 707934 and the Pross 
Patent No. 722382 (for the Pross 
Revolving Shutters) thus trying to 
scare and intimidate EXHIBITORS 
INTO signing long term contracts 
with it to use only Trust films. 

THERE IS NOTHING IN 
THESE SUITS that need alarm any 
exhibitor. The Trust gains no legal 
advantage whatever from beginning 
these numerous suits or from prose- 
cuting them. There is already a 
suit pending on the Latham Loop 
patent, in which testimony is being 
taken and which suit we are defend- 
ing. We have every reason to ex- 
pect a decision in our favor in this 
suit, and that will conclusively settle 
all of the suits now brought or be- 
ing brought. 

It is a bluff pure and simple. 

Any exhibitor using our product 
who has received a summons for in- 
fringing so called patents of the 
Motion Picture Patents Co. will 
please call on or send to their ex- 
change and get information blanks.

DEWEY. Obampltm. Military drama. ' 

Too silly and ridiculous to be worthy of cri- 
ticism, 

CHIEF FIRE EYE'S GAME. Champion. Com- 
edy. Full length. 
Tbls Is- a rather peculiar production and Is 
best described by saying that It is easily com- 
parable to tbe telling of a story with one single 
amusing Item led up to by a long and serious 
Introduction. Chief Fire Eye Is here pictured 
as wanting to know bow to play cards and as 
capturing a cowboy to bare someone who un- 
derstood a game to play tilth him. The cap- 
tner Is taken seriously by the captive's com- 
rades, who stsrt in pursuit of the Indians un- 
til tbe latter's intention la discovered. Tbe 
story is ridiculous, but it Is not as poorly 
played as might be expected in this kind of 
production. 



PATENTS COMPANY. 

(Continued from page 16.) 

THE YOUNGER BROTHER. Edison. Drama, 
•engtb 1,000 feet. Released July 25. 
Tbls is perhaps tbe most carefully directed 
and moat finely played production the Edison 
Company has ever put on. Everything from tbe 
selection of scenes down to the minutest de- 
tail of costume and action, bears the mark j 
of care and artistlcness of a high order. Unfor- j 
innately tbe story is not made absolutely clear 
unless the observer of the film watches it care j 
fully. This can hardly be classed as a fault, 
however, as the nature of tbe plot demands 
this sort of rendition, anything made more plain 
having a tendency to spoil the action. The | 
play Is very llkelr tbe strongest ever seen in] 
Dim form but it is gotten over in much better 
fashion than many weaker productions. The 
continuity of tbe characters and the luxurious 
setting stand out most prominently while every 
Item In the make-up of the film deserves oui i 
highest praise. 



CAUGHT IS THE ACT. Sells. Comedy. 
Split reel. Released July 31. 
Tbls short film depicts the taking of a motion 
picture scene into which a bystander projects 
himself and rescues the woman from the at- 
tack of tbe villain. Tbe idea is a good one and 
it is well presented. 

THE KNIGHT ERRANT. Sellg. Same reel as 
Caught in tbe Act. 
Like so many Selig productions tbls one bears 
tbe marks of good direction but shows mum 
glaring mistakes or results of poor direction. 
With the setting la tbe days of chivalry many 
beautiful and romantic scenes should have been 
obtained but each one Is passed over so quickly 
and the actors seem to be so encumbered with 
their armour that tbe effect is lost to a great 
extent. The story .ends up In a very peculiar 
way although it has a magnificent start and de- 
velops in a very promising manner. Could 
this production have been rehearsed just a lit- 
tle longer It would bare been a magnificent one. 
Tbe director seems to have tbe right idea but 
the action, whether from lack of rehearsing 
or because of poor actors, does not keep up to 
tbe pace for tbe play. The film is really in- 
teresting because of tbe many good points, 
although tbe production, as a whole, is, as 
stated above, not carefully made.

When 


You 


Draw 


IMPS!" 




You don't have to bluff to get a full 
house when you draw Imps. You've 
got a dead sure thing. Even the 
children know that they'll enjoy the 
show when you advertise "Imp To- 
day." And down in your heart you 
know, know, know that Imps are in a 
class by themselves. That being the 
case, why don't you see that you get 
two Imps every week? For instance, 
here's a pair of Imps that you ought 
to get if you have to fight for them: 

"A BOY'S BEST FRIEND' 

Read the synopsis of this film else- 
where in this issue and then imagine 
what a powerful picture is possible 
with Imp acting, Imp staging, Imp 
expertness back of it. This release 
will appeal to everybody! Ready 
Aug. 14. (Copyright 1911 1.M.P. Co.) 

"BEHIND THE TIMES" 

This is another Imp melodrama of the 
highest type. No one can pick a flaw 
in it. It teaches a lesson, tells a heart 
story and leaves a good taste in the 
mouth. Go after it with all, your 
might! Begin today! Ready Aug. 17. 
(Copyright 1911 1.M.P. Co.) 

WARNING TO DUPERS!

reptiles have been brought here and are being shown today, notably with' the J. S. Edwards' Shows, 
Faulkner Shows and others, bnt If you want a snake— a real big snake — for which you need not 
apologise, we have It. Actual weight 200 pounds: never mind. the length, we haven't the time 
to lay the tape on It. If you are afraid of a real big one, we can give you a smaller — having 
Just five In alt. We do not misrepresent, because: we can not afford to, for the snake buyer 
today might own a cirens tomorrow, and we want your business, whether for 
wheel birds or elephants or other animals.

CATTLE, GOLD AJTO OIL. American. West- 
ern drama. Length, 1,000 feet. Released 
August 7. 

This very descriptive title is somewhat more 
alluring than the film - Itself, for ..this is not 
a particularly brilliant production, and hardly 
up to the general quality of . this firm's re- 
leases. The story describes a young couple a 
search for and discovery of gold; . the couple 
being hampered by claim Jumpers but, finally 
quelling them. The photography Is fully equal 
to other American photographic effects and the 
scenes truly Western.

The tramp's dream of "wealth Is here pro- 
duced In very good fashion with a very sump- 
tuous setting: and--a" strong degree of realism. 
The especially good feature of the production 
Is the fact that, the dream Is presented as a 
real occurrence, 'lBe> audience only knowing that 
It. was >a dream when., the tramp himself dis- 
covers it. The part of the tramp is well taken.

The great- possibility of the main event In 
this story happening makes the plax a good 
one, and it Is well enacted; The part- of the 
colored Janitor Is especially deserving of praise, 
this actor seeming to possess a large degree 
of versatility and a wonderful understanding of 
human nature. The part does not allow of 
much, display of talent and the fact that it 
Is so iwtenSL played renders the actor special 
credit. The other parts are very well played 
likewise. 

TTflTP LAST SHOP OF WATER. Biograph. 
Drama. Length, 1,021 feet. Released 
July-Mi's 

While the' action in this story Is not the 
best of Biograph work, it is -perhaps the best 
this type of story affords and the ensemble 
scenes .and battle scenes are of the highest 
quality. The whole. .play Is well staged and 
■well photographed, so that the greatest pos- 
sible -effect-is- .gotten- from the . work of -the 
people. It Is the story of the rival- lovers, 
the girl chosing the wrong one, and the death 
of the latter on the Western desert land, while 
. the- other takes the last drop of water from 
him and is thus saved from death. The Indian 
fights- are fairly realistic, as- near as a battle 
- scene can be made, and are placed very ad- 
vantageously among the other and more dra 
tnatic scenes of the play. The scene of the 
husband's death In the desert and the other' 
struggle to reach. 'Water j are -made to -possess, 
a large "amount ,of realism and also to be 
v free from the ordinary., displeasurable effect

whole, the pr eduction shows advancement over 
almost all. previous methods, of ^producing West-

', (Continued from page 9.) 

Is a coster song. Erlckson makes bis changes 
behind a screen standing partly In the entrance. 
His make-up Is put on in view of the audience. 
His third bit Is a recitation set to music. 
Erlckson does a Swede character. He pleads 
with the immigration .officers to permit a little 
Swedish bey entrusted >b> his - care to land ; in: 
this country and not be deported. " His request 
Is refused by the officer? Mjut v granted bJ^'tHS 
president. Erlckson does well .witn the" Bit: 
His familiar Daffy Dan number I> placed next 
to the finish and fits in nicely. ' The finish, 
though It brings out something' that a vaude 
vllle andience doesn't see every day, will hard- 
ly be used very long. It is out of place. For 
the concluding number the- picture screen Is 
dropped and slides are shown on it. The girl 
is shown in various poses appropriate to the 
words of tbe song called My Dearest Girl on 
Earth. One of tbe lines Is: "Her hair Is like 
that of a raven." When this line is sung by 
Erlckson. the elide reproduced on the screen 
shows the girl posing with a raven placed on 
her bead. This style is followed throughout 
tbe song, the slides always being pictured ac- 
cording to tbe lines of the song.. As a single 
act Erlckson should prove very acceptable. 

VALERIE BERGERE AND HER COMPANY, 

in She Wanted Affection, a comedy; Fifth 
Avenne Theatre; twenty minutes; full 
stsge. 

Having discarded her dramatic playlet called 
Judgment. Miss Bergere is trying a new com- 
edy called She Wanted Affection, written by 
Edgar Allen Wolff. The piece runs a trifle 
too long — twenty minutes — and there are times 
of superfluous lines. Tbe plot of the comedy 
is revealed by the title — Sbe Wanted Affection. 
A yonn-r wife who believes that she is being 
neglected by ber husband, plans to bring him 
to the knowledge of hie negligence. She finally 
accomplishes ber purpose, though only after 
she has undergone many difficulties. Mies Ber- 
gere Is supported by UUie Akerstron and Her- 
bert Warren. -

forming the andience that "he Is he." and not 
bis pianist. It Is a piece of vanity that It not 
easily forgiven by the andience. but Mr. De- 
Haven atones for his offense by a half hour of 
Ideal entertainment. ' He uses a velvet drop 
and a grand piano, and offers an excellent va- 
riety in songs and dances. Mr. DeHaven was a 
wonderful success, and may well feel proud of 
a beautiful act that Is worthy of his name.

review of these two last named productions will 
appear In tbe next Issue of The Billboard. 

There Is no need of familiarising our readers 
with the character of Folles Bergere. Tbe varied 
entertainment resumed Its run before sn appre- 
ciative audience Just as It there had been no 
midsummer interruption. 

The bill remains virtually the same as here- 
tofore. ..The changes In the cast have been very 
allght-and-make for the general Improvement 
of the bill. Grace La Rue and her gorgeous 
costumes are again the feature of tbe aklt, Gaby.

As now arranged the Folles opens with the" 
big ballet. Temptation. Then comes Gaby, and 
the satire. Hell, brings the lively bill to a 
close. Laddie Cliff now appears in Hell as 
well as Impersonating Portugal's dethroned mon- 
arch in Gaby. - ' Otis Harlan, Kathleen Clifford. 
Ada Lewis, Lisle Leigh, Ina Claire and Elizabeth 
Goodall are among the others In tbe big cast., 
* A Jolly cabaret performance followed tne openg

master of ceremonies. The present bill with the 
exception of the cabarat part of the enter-

The parks are all going full blast and it 
might, be stated that the current season has 
beamed most kindly upon the men who direct 
their ambition toward the amusement of New 
York and its visitors during the. summer sea- 
son. An: air. of complacency characterizes, every 
countenauce with the possible exception of -the 
unfortunate .members of tbe open-air fraternity 
who suffered-Ioss or damage by the Ore which de- 
vastated Dreamland.

And when I sleep — and when I sleep, 

I always dream of Bill.

PRISON INMA TES E NTERTAINED. 

The elite of Marquette, Mich., after having 
presented two most successful performances of 
tbe Echoes of 1910 at the Marquette Opera 
House under the able direction of one of 
Broadway's favorites, Donald McDonald, was 
repeated to a capacity audience at the Michigan 
Branch Prison through tbe neneroslty of the 
wife of one of Marquette's Iron Kings. 

Possibly no troupe has ever played to a 
more appreciative and responsive audience than 
tbat which filled tbe spacious auditorium on this 
eventful evening. 

The musical melange presented, consisted of 
interpolations from the leading musical comedy 
successes of the 1910 season, some of -which are 
still current Broadway attractions. 

Tbe clever and creditable manner In which 
Mr. McDonald, principals and chorus rendered 
the musical and dancing bits of Tbe Fascinating 
Widow, Tbe Balkan Princess, The Spring Maid, 
Little Miss Fix It, etc., deserves particular 
mention, but space forbids tbe usage of super- 
latives. 

During the Intermission. Warden Russell made 
a short address In which be took occasion to 
thank those whose benevolence made It possible 
for the performance to be given, and on behalf 
of the Inmates presented Mr. McDonald with a 
token of their appreciation and gratitude. Mr. 
McDonald was visibly affected and so taken 
by surprise that be was moved to tears iu 
acknowledging tbe gift.. 

It is safe to say. that of all the chattels pos- 
sessed by Mr. McDonald, tbe token presented 
by the Inmates of the Marquette Branch Prison 
will always be to him the most valued and es- 
teemed. 

Mr. McDonald states thst members of the pro- 
fession and their respective companies are al- 
ways sure to meet with an enthusiastic recep- 
tion at the Marquette Prison on their tours 
through the Upper Peninsula, and last but 
not the least, the S. R. O. sign will always 
greet them. 

Montrose, Colo., July 26, 1911. 
Montrose has enjoyed the strife this week 
between the Benton's Show under canvas and 
the Kemp tons at the Armory Opera House, both 
being repertoire companies and here for the 
week. The Bentons carry a good uniformed 
band that makes a parade each day at 4 
o'clock and at 7:30 In the evening. They occupy 
one of the principal corners In the business 
part of the city, where an open-air concert is 
given, following which they march to the 
tent. 

The Kemptons have employed the Montrose 
Band to do likewise, they occupying a corner 
one block or 300 feet away from the Bentpns 
and thus we have the amusement of listening 
to the excellent harmony (?) that must exist 
with the two bands playing at the same time, 
each vielng to outdo tbe other. However, both 
shows are doing well and pleasing their patrons. 

Manager Cooper of the Montrose Opera House, 
not to be outdone, has as a special attraction at 
his house this week Miller's 101 Ranch pictures 
in three reels. . ...... 

The Western Slope Fair Association this week 
booked thirty wild horses for the Wild West 
features of the fair. September 19-21. Some 
of the best riders in the West have agreed to 
participate. The concessions for this fair will 
be sold at auction on August 1 at 2 p. m. 
The fair association is now having a city water 
main placed under-ground around the entire 
racetrack, with hydrants every 200 feet, to 
which will be attached a hose for the purpose 
of sprinkling the track all the way around and 
avoid any dust during the races. The track 
will be sprinkled during the night. . „ 

Last vear the fair association painted all the 
buildings, including the grandstand, white with 
red roofs, so now It is said to be the neatest 
and most attractive fair grounds in the West. 
With Its hundreds of shade trees and lawn, trie 
great advantage of this ground over others Is 
that it is within seven blocks of the bus ness 
part of the city and has a cement walk lead- 
ing to it. so no conveyances are necessary. 

The association is ont of debt and has sev- 
eral hundred dollars in the bank, which is an 
exception to the usual experience of fair as- 
soclatlona. W. O. REDDING.

legal flgtit. but it was proven that Sutton had no 
financial assistance. 

The Curzou Sisters' act was described in the 
court records as a butterflv act. Sutton used 
a wheel in Australia in 1901 and came to tbe 
United States, where he used the apparatus 
at the Chutes in San Francisco in 1902. The 
Curxon patent was granted four years after this 
and tbe laws require only two years to in- 
validate a patent. The- court held that proof on 
the part of Sutton was . fully established and 
declared the patent void. 

Julian Tyhell of 7019 South Park Avenue, 
Chicago, testified that be taught bis wife such 
an act in 1888 and presented It with the Sells- 
Grar Circns In 1901. 

Aimee Tasma, Cant. Sutton's daughter, ex- 
hibited press notices where her work on the 
apparatus was praised by the Hong Kong Tele- 
tcraph on Feb. 27, 1902. the Hone Kong Dailv 
Press of the same date and the China Mall of 
that date. She was then with Cogm & Sutton's 
entertainers. She began practicing the act in 
1900. 

Adelaide Sarins (Mrs. Sutton) gave testimony. 
It was shown that Rose Aqnlnaldo (now. de- 
ceased) bad -worked -with "Aimee Sutton at the 
Chutes in Frisco, and . Dave Caston, who was 
with, the act. gave testimony. 

The vnlne of keeping newspaper cllpplnco 
•crap, books was Importantly emphasized In t'-'- 
case, for the court was impressed with the news- 
paper notices Introduced.

The Orpheum, Nashville's popular rrndevllte 
theatre, closed its doors Saturday, July 29 
for a few weeks, anil will - reopen again no 
Labor Day with Keith's high-class vaudeville 
Owing to numerous repairs that will have to 
be looked after. Manager Casgldv dxitleil to

his bouse in tbe best possible condition for 
his opening week. The Orpheum will b- affili- 
ated with all of tbe houses on the Keith Cir- 
cuit and the shows that will be booked at this 
house will come direct from tin' East™ 
bonses. opening in .Nashville and playing the 
Wells chain of houses, which Include the For- 
syth in Atlanta, a new Keith house that Is how 
being constructed in Richmond, and also ' a 
new house in Norfolk and one in Savannah. 
When the Orpheum reopens Labor Day It will, 
be witbjont a doubt one of the best-equipped 
theatres in tbe South, as nothing will be left 
undone In the^ way of -making this popular house 
of amusement one of the best In the city* of 
Nashville. 

T'ie S. R. O. sign was ont at the. Fifth 
Avenue TVeatre during last week's run. This 
was due to the high-class -vaudeville bill thnt 
manager Furlong Is offering. Every act offered 
was a headltner in itself. 

Tbe Grand, tbe popular Church Street play- 
house. Is offering an extraordinary bill this 
week, that of tbe Xelson-Moran prize fight in 
motion pictures. This prize fight is realistic- 
ally shown, with special machines and an un- 
usually large screen. 

As is usually' the case, the Crystal Theatre

urer, recently- returned from a few weeds' va-

INTERN. EXHIBITORS' LEAGUE. 

(Continued from page 14.) 

be considered tantamount to an injury to the 
entire national league. 

The film committee will have for its particu- 
lar purpose tbe establishment of ways and 
means for securing an open market of films. 
This point was th» subject of much delibera- 
tion, and the exhibitors believe that they coo 
within a short time accomplish this much 
needed change. The shibboleth of the exhlhl- 
tors Is "Commercial Freedom," and If they are 
as successful In securing the open market, as- 
they are enthusiastic in the belief that they 
can. the open market is not a far distant 
reality. 

The question of Increasing the admission price 
to moving picture theatres from five tojtcn cents 
was not given much discussion. About all that 
was said on this subject was a resolution passed 
on the floor. of. the convention, resenting a false 
statement, disseminated with the purpose of 
misleading the public. 

A question which will have a far-reaching ef- 
fect on the moving picture business next sum- 
mer, was brought up in a resolution offered 
that steps be taken with tbe view to preventing 
the larger vaudeville theatres and opera houses 
giving moving picture shows during the summer 
■month*. r, 'irs fniestion --oml'ses to develop Into 
a hard flght, bat the exhibitors believe that they 
will win out. It Is said that unless the 'egu!»r 
theatres desist In showing films, the' moving pic- 
ture theatres will run vaudeville. Whether or 
not the question will ever get this far remains 
to be seen. It is, however, a fact, that the na- 
j tlonal exhibitors are prepared te put up a strong 
: flght. The argument advanced by the exhibitors. 
Is tbat vaudeville should not be part of a pic- 
ture show, and vice versa, also that, moving pic- 
tures should not be substituted 'n tfoe-dramatlc 
and vaudeville houses for the actor.'-

RIVERVIEW EX POSITI ON IN REVIEW 

Account of the Various Concessions and Attractions that Have Made the Park 
Successful During the Present Season, with Due Allowance 

of Credit to the Concessionaires 



By GEO. U. STEVENSON. 



To the Teutonic tribes of North Europe be- 
longs the distinction of having originated the 
summer park, and to their German descendants 
attaches the credit of having created in Chicago 
the park that has since grown into the largest 
summer amusement place In the world — Rlver- 
vlew Exposition. Emulating their virile, nature- 
loviog ancestors, the Angles, Borasslans, Franks 
and Saxons, who even In the days of Tacitus 
were wont to build wattled huts and arbors 
under the massive oaks, wherein to drink their 
mead and malty brews, the modern Germans 
nave taken with tbem to the furthermost ends 
of the earth, their loved Sommer Garten. 

It was In 1879, only eight years after the 
great Chicago fire and the Franco-Prussian War, 
that a company of Germans, members of the 
Krelger Verein, organized a dub for the im- 
provement of rifle practise among its members. 
To this end they secured a tract of beautifully 
wooded land on the North Branch of the Chicago 
River, which they named Sharpshooters' Park. 
Mr. William Schmidt, one of the directors of 
the present Rlvervlew Park Company, was one 
of the original members of tbls pleasure club. 
Rifie ranges were erected, and the park was 
won recognized as an Ideal place for outings 
and picnics, other societies soliciting the use of 
the grounds for their affairs. This led to the 
Incorporation of the North Chicago Sharpshoot- 
ers' Association, empowered by charter to rent 
the park to societies for such outings. On the 
dissolntlou of this corporation, title to the tract 
passed to Messrs. William Schmidt and George 
Goldman, who continued to rent It for picnics. 

Seven years ago. In 1901, William XI. Jolinson 
and his partner, Joseph B. McQuaide of Pitts- 
burg, leased the six acres tbat now constitutes 
the middle part of the park, and fitted it up 
for tbe amusement park business. By an ar- 
rangement with the lessees of tbe grove, that 
tract, too. was secured for the patrons, and 
run in connection with the rest of the park. 
July 2. 1904, was the opening date of tbe park. 
I'aal w. Cooper being the first concessionaire 
nmler Johnson and McQuaide, with hl« chutes. 
The only other features were tbe figure S coast- 
er, merry-go-round and an old mill. The new 
Idea of combining amusement features with a 
natural park, soon caught the public fancy, and 
contributed largely to a revolution In the 
amusement park business as then constituted. 

In 1905 the River-Sharpshooters' Park Co. 
was organised, with William Schmidt as presi- 
dent, and Poiil W. Cooper as manager. At tbe 
close of that season, tbe personnel of the 
company was changed to Include N. P. Valerius 
and William M. Johnson, Mr. Schmidt remain- 



ing as a director together with his son George. 
The resulting company, known as Klvervlew 
Park Company, has ever siuce had control, the 
executive management being apportioned as 
follows: Paul W. Cooper, president: N. P. Val- 
erius, vice-president and treasurer; William M. 
Johnson, secretary. The publicity this season 
is in the capable hands of Charles B. Macloon. 
one of the best- known men in his line, and u-s 
assistant, Gordon Seagrove. 

. Starting with six acres, Bivervlew has grown 
In six years to include nearly one hundred 
and forty acres, thirty acres of which is a beau- 
tifully wooded picnic grove. Over one mil- 
lion dollars is invested In permanent buildings 
and attractions, and the army of employees and 
concessionaires constitute the population - of 
many a flourishing little city. All of this re- 
markable growth has been made upon the sheer 
merit of the attractions presented, without the 
issuance of any bonds, or the promotion of any 
stock-Jobbing schemes, a truly remarkable rec- 
ord. 

Rlvervlew Exposition as at present consti- 
tuted, is In the Northwestern section of the 
city of Chicago, and runs from Belmont Avenue 
to Addison, and from Western Avenue to tbe 
North branch of the Chicago Blver. It is 
reached from any part of Chicago for a single 
fare on all of the surface lines, which either 
run by, or transfer to the park. Its manage- 
ment makes tbe claim, and it Is one tbat can 
not readily be disputed, that It contains twice 
as many rides as any other park In the world: 
furthermore that there are in Rlvervlew. a 
greater number of. shows than In all of Coney 
Island combined. The turnstiles registered 
more than 8,000,000 visitors last year, a figure 
tbat will be eclipsed in this year 1911. The 
Tiark also holds the record for single day at- 
tendance at an „ amusement park, over 250,000, 
people having turned out for the Socialist picnic 
last July. 

Here are a few Items of a statistical nature 
that will serve to Impress the visitor with the 
importance of the park: . - 

It takes 325,000 slxteen-candle power electric 
Incandescent lamps .to. Illuminate Rlvervlew; 
there are nearly four miles of macadam walks 
in the park' a head nurseryman and two as- 
sistants are employed tile year round to take 
care of the trees: the largest angel In the world, 
measuring 102 feet from tip to tip of her wings, 
stands In front of Creation; the best bands 
in America are engaged to play during the sea- 
son giving twice-daily concerts In the band 
shell in a beautiful leafy grove: a children's 
playground with wading pools and teeter-tot- 



ters, with tables for ricnic lunches and with a 
trained nurse in attendance. Is absolutely free 
to tired mothers and their little ones (as Is 
also tbe rest of the park) every afternoon ex- 
cept Sunday and holidays. 

Many of the leading nationalistic societies 
in which Chicago, with its large foreign popula- 
tion abounds, bold their annual picnics In the 
great picnic grove In Rlvervlew. Chief among 
these are the Platt-Dentschers and other German 
vereins and tbe Hungarians. 

STADIUM MOTORDROME. 

Tbe speed fans and lovers of athletic sports, 
are being drawn to Rlvervlew In constantly in- 
creasing numbers as a result of the completion 
of the great stadium-motordrome, wherein are 
held motorcycle contests. The seating capacity 
of tbe grandstand is 25,000 people. Mr. John 
Prince Ib the designer of tbe arena, and upon its 
saucer-shaped, circular track, several high-speed 
motor records bave been broken. 

AtTTODBOME. 

Another thriller is the Autodrome, located 
at the Western Avenne entrance. It consists 
of a circular track, with a 70-f t. diameter at the 
top, and 52-ft. diameter at the bottom, with a 
To degree angle. It is said to be at once, the 
smallest and steepest track of its kind ever 
constructed. The proprietor and constructor, H. 
L. Curran, was the originator of the loop- 1 he- 
loop act on a bicycle, and the first to give 
motorcycle exhibitions on the stage. He rides 
a Staver racing machine, equipped with Splltdorf 
ig iltittn and Firestone tires around the almost 
perpendicular track at a minimum rate of 40 
miles an hour. 

OTHER THRILLERS. 

The figure 8 and the chutes, as stated before, 
are the oldest rides in the nark. Neither of 
them has ever had an accident, although they 
have carried hundreds of thousands of people 
since the*- were Installed. Robert Hausske Is 
the manager of the figure 8, which was built 
by tbe L. A. Thompson Co. The Federal Con- 
struction Co. built tbe chutes, and modeled It 
after Capt. Paul Boyton's original chutes at 
the Chicago World's Fair In 1803. the first de- 
vice cf its kind in the Middle West. Joseph 
Sanve, the manager of the chutes, is a veteran 
at the game, having started in It abont nine- 
teen years ago, and was for a long time con- 
nected with the old chutes on the West Side. 
An improved lift, whereby tbe cars are raised 
to the highest level on a vertical platform, 
enhances tbe Joyment of tbe ride, and renders it 
perfectly safe. 



Mr. Jamea D. O'Nell. who has been asso- 
ciated with park enterprises for the past seven* 
years, is manager of three of tbe most Import- 
ant rides In Rlvervlew. the Derby, the Scenic 
Hallway and Royal Gorge. Mr. O'Nell was. 
In the accounting and finance department or 
White City . for four years, having collaborate* 
in tbe origination of the system of simplified 
park accounting now In vogue In most of ther 
summer parks of the world. In 1908 he ac- 
cepted a similar position at Bivervlew, and for- 
the next two seasons be was located at Forest' 
Park. This is the first season he has served In* 
his present capacity, and the success of the en- 
terprises, he represents confirms the belief that 
he will remain here for many years to come. 

The Royal Gorge and Scenic Railway are- 
owned and operated by the Belmont Construction! 
Company, while the Derby ia owned and operated; 
by the Hyde Park Construction Company. They 
are severally described in the statistical table- 
attached. • 

The Velvet Coaster, is a similar ride, con- 
structed by the Federal Construction Company,, 
and managed' for tbe Fidelity Amusement Com- 
pany by August A. Bessce Facing the river,, 
the Bine Streak ■ is unsurpassed -for its view. 
It is also a coaster of high speed, but with the 
heart-wrenching dips excluded. Designed by- 
John A. Miller, and built by the Ingersoll Engi- 
neering -and Construction Company of Pittsburg, 
the Bine Streak: is getting a well-deserved share- 
of patronage under the capable management or 
U G. Nlchol of Pittsburg, 

The Aerostat or Flying Swings also deservea- 
to come under the title of "thriller," although- 
it is one of the safest rides ever «vm«tructed. A-

PROGRESS AND DEVELOPMENT 

Sketch Showing the Inception and Growth of the Bird Man's 

in France, Germany and England— In 



AVIATION IN FRANCE. 



By e m. a m 

Who flew flnt The Question Is not yet fully 
settled legally. Freiiefi courts liave the question 
under advisement at the present time, a "board 
of research" having been appointed from among 
experts to aid the Jurists. In the near future 
the claims of Clement Ader, the aged French- 
man who says his "Avion" was the first ma- 
chine to set off the ground under Its own power, 
win be settled, and If the negative then Wilbur 
and OrvUle Wright, the Americans, will be left 
the undisputed first men In the air. 

Come what may, whether Ader or the Wrights 
flew -first. France Is today the absolute queen 
of the .air. .America showed France bow to 
fly and now the pupil is greater at the game 
than the master. At the last contest at Rheluis 
there were 75 aviators on the field, men and 
women. Most of the men and all of the. women 
were French. At the start of the International 
Circuit, the race from Paris, via Brussels. 
Calais, Dover and London back to Paris, 67 
birdmen bad entered, and of these nearly 60 
were Frenchmen. Weymann was the only Amer- 
ican in the bunch. A Dutchman or so, a couple 
of Belgians and an Englishman about made up 
the foreign element, and when the Utrecht-Brus- 
sels ste- was pulled off nobody save a Dutchman 
was la the race, but Frenchmen, and a French 
naval officer was in the lead at that. While the 
United States Is standing still so far- as the 
army is concerned, France Is building np a tre- 
mendous "Air Division" for use In connection 
with both the army and the navy. And two 
Americans discovered flying when all la said 
and done, the future decision of the French 
courts regardless. For if Clement Ader's 
"Avion" did get off the ground of Its own power 
t<-at'g alt it did do, while the Americana really 
flew. 

The strides made • In the aviation game In 
France since Wilbur Wright came over here In 
100S to teach this country now to fly, Is as- 
tounding- Many have made fortunes and scores 
have won fame as experts In the air. The 
English cbannel has been. crossed time and time 
again; - the Alps were flown and International 
dying, the flitting from capital to capital, has 
become almost a dally occurrence. Aviators 
tat-e their lnnch with them when they try for 
time records and Trans-Continental express 
trains literally have, to crawl along In shame, so 
slowly do they creep In comparison. The Parls- 
tn Trjidrid fast, tram required over 26 hours to 
make the trip; Vedrlne, a simple mechanic, 
mounted on a .Morane monoplane, did it In less 
th»i half the time. 

The Frenchman Is absolutely tireless In his 
pnrsnlt of the came. Hubert Latham, one of 
r the best In the business, was an expert farther 
back than the first Bhelms meet. He is at 
It yet. In spite of repeated announcements that 
be would quit the snort. He admits that the 



tblng is too fascinating for him and that he 
can't give it up. There's a vast horde like him. 
One contest steps on the bee Is of another an., 
there are always prizes worth trying for, too. 
Paris to Brussels and return, Paris to Puy-de- 
Dome, Paris to Bordeaux, Paris to Pan, Parts 
to Madrid. Paris to Rome. Paris to Brussels. 
London, etc.. and return; the Circuit de l'Est. 
the "Tour of France" for military aviators and 
meets by the dozen. The Aero CInb de France 
is hard pot to keep the principal meets from 
clashing dates. As for the smaller meets the 
Aero Club doesn't touch them. Two or three 
of these are liable to be on at the same time. 

Anotiier thing, the Frenchman Is always after 
records. Tabuteau's distance record still stands, 
if I am not mistaken, he having made 322 miles 
:. ithout a stop. Henry Farman's time record 
still stands. For eight hours and 15 minutes he 
turned round and round over the Etanipes aero- 
drome without coming to the ground. It was 
cold, too, and drizzling rain part of the time, 
the water freezing on his biplane. He ate two 
square meals in the air. This, too. is a record. 
He had bam, bread, butter, sausages, coffee, tea, 
milk and cigarettes. Of these he used np two 
or three boxes. Nieuport, on a monoplane of 
Ills own design, at the time of writing holds 
the record for fast flying over a closed course, 
he having made 91 miles under Gordon Bennett 
Cnp conditions at the rate of 81 miles an hour. 
Naturally this was net speed since by flying in 
a circle he bad what wind there was now at bis 
back, now in bis face. He was retarded by. the 
wind as much as be was helped by it. For 
straight away fast flying a French army officer 
holds the record at the present time, he having 
gone 150 miles, cross-country, at the rate of 
about 106 miles an hour. He bad a high wind, 
however. In bis favor and for that reason his 
performance can not count for fast flying In 
the same class as Nienport. Had be turned as 
Nienport did. and gone against this wind of 
almost cyclonic force, be would bave made not 
more than 10 to 15 miles an hour, and the 
average speed for the entire circle wonld have 
been around 65 miles an hour. Bnt for cover- 
ing ground, this 106 miles In 60 minutes was 
going some, even if some of the credit must be 
shared with the wind. 

As to different styles of aeroplanes In France 
there are, of course, more in this country than 
anywhere else on the face of the globe. ■ I 
wouldn't pretent to say how many there are. 
bnt there are at least 30 makes of machines on 
the market which bave some performance or 
other to their credit. Once a year at the 
Grand Palais there is the aeroplane show, th" 
••Annual Salon of Aerial Locomotion." It 
comes in October, or thereabouts and is one of 
the most Important events of the " year. ' socially 
and commercially speaking. The entire great 
building Is packed with various machines and 
aeroplane accessories. Arranged as are the more 
Important national automobile shows, the anto 
exhibition can not hold a candle to the aerial 
show for genuine Interest. And It is at these 



-*hows that the spectator is simply bewildered 
by the multitude of different makes of machines 
Cor navigating the air. 

The Henry Farman biplane is always popular: 
so Is the Maurice Farman biplane, Mau- 
rice and Henry Farman being brothers, but 
bitter commercial rivals. Blerlot monoplanes are 
regarded as "standard" here, though the An- 
toinette, the greatest exponent of wh.ch is Hu 
bert Latham, who has shown the machine all 
over the world, would get the majority of volet 
for sneer beauty. The Duperdissin macniu- 
the B. E. P. monoptane. the Nieuport monoplane, 
the Morane monoplane, the Voisin machines. tu< 
French-built Wrights, the Brequet biplane, tb 
Puulhan biplane. Summer biplane, the Clement- 
Bayard,, the Fabre and many, many others ate 
constantly on the wing. 

LUCKY AIRMEN. 

Of ail the French aviators Bleriot has prob- 
ably made most money unless Indeed it be tue 
elder of the Farman brothers, Henry. Blenu 
was a small manufacturer of automobiles head- 
-ignts when he took no aviation. He pnt all 
bis money Into the thing and pretty nearly went

AVIATION IN GERMANY. 

By EDMOND PELTJSO. 

In an interview which she gave me, soon after 
Henry Farman had, for the first time in tbe 
history of the world flown a kilometer In aero- 
plane, Madame de Thebes, the great Parisian 
seeress. stated that flying Is a thing of the gods, 
and therefore forbidden to men. 

Although some of the catastrophes which she 
then foresaw have unfortunately come true, man 
has risen himself to a god for he has conquered 
the forbidden space. 

The progress in aviation, however, has not 
been the same in every land. In Germany it bat 
been slow. Perhaps because tbe authorities, al- 
ways backward In alt that la progressive, bave 
not favored Its development. With the excuse 
that flying is a millionaire's pastime and sport, 
as one of Germany's highest officials put it, in- 
terdictions and restrictions of every kiud were 
put to this new development of science. The 
police ordinances. In certain cases, went so far 
as to specify where one could fly, and where 
one could not fly. Thus, before time was ripe 
for it, the allotment of space was made. 

Germany has been the cradle of aviation. It 
was Indeed a German, Otto LUtentbal, who the 
first, about thirty years ago. had the Idea of 
realizing this old human dream of flying. His 
apparatus was a sort of flying machine with four 
wings, two fastened to the arms and two to the 
legs. Instead of a motor, the limbs were to 
serve as propeller. His experiments were car- 
ried on from tbe top of a hiU. from which he 
wonld let himself fall. One day, however, in 
giving an exhibition flight in Llchterfeld. a Ber- 
lin suburb, tbe wings not being solidly fastened 
to his 'iinbs. be fell and killed himself. On the 
s">ot where this victim of progress died, a monu- 
ment has been raised to honor the pioneer of 
aviation. 

The unlucky accident stopped for a while the 
enthusiasm for this new sport, till Count Zep- 
pelin, with his new dirigible balloon, with which 
be thought he had solved the problem of avia- 
tion, secured the interest of tbe Germans and a 
little of their enthusiasm. The ill-fated story 
of his seven dirigibles is well known snd we 
shall not repeat It. They were all destroyed 
one after tbe other, either by storms or by ex- 
plosions. 

One can hardlv conceive that while in France, 
this new industry, and the tireless efforts of 

her technicians to improve the aeroplane and 
the motor have been officially encouraged and 
with princely prices rewarded, thus making It 
the leading nation of the world In aviation, in 
Germany tbe Indifference, till quite lately, for 
the heavler-tban-alr machines has been so evi- 
dent. Was It because of their disappointment to 
see that Count Zeppelin's theory of the dirigi- 
bles did not bold true, or. because the short- 
lived success of the dirigibles rendered them 
temporarily blind before the Increasing signifies- 



TERN ATIONAL AVIATION MEET IN CHICAGO 

Forty-three Airmen Entered— Wrights to Fly for the First Time in Competition 



Chicago. Angust 11 (Special to The Bill- 
board!. — Aeronautic history will be made at 
Chicago's first great International Aviation Meet, 
which begins Saturday, afternoon at 3:30 o'clock 
In Grant Park. . Chicago. In fact. It Is al- 
ready In the making, with the revolutionary 
decision of the Wright Brothers to reconsider 
their previous attitude, and their agreement for 
the first time to enter their flyers in op D n 
competition with other airmen. This Is con- 
strued by many airmen to mean an . abandon- 
ment of the Wright claims to royalties from 
other aviators. 

Officials of the meet were greatly surprised 
when Frank Russell, the representative of the 
Wright Brothers- walked into the headquarter* 
of the association In the Auditorium Hotel, ami 
expressed the readiness of nis people to par- 
ticipate In the contests with their men and 
machines. A. conference was arranged, wherein 
Mr. Russe"l entered for t';e Wrights the follow- 
ing notable flyers:: Walter Prooklns; J. C. Tnr- 
pln. A, L. Welsh- -Howard Gill; Philip O. . Par-

lni-time. It : promises to be the greatest meet 
ever held In the world, weather conditions per- 
mitting. Virtually- all of the ncted American 
fixers are in attendance, and about a dozen 
foreign 'airmen are to compete In the nine-day 
air tournament- 
There Is .not another city In America. If In- 
deed In the world, that poss?sses finch a re- 
markable aviation Held right at Its doors, as 
-does Chicago in Grant Park, the 160-aere park 
on the downtown lakefront. where the meet 
takes place. For the entire length of Its mile 
expanse from Randolph Street to Park Row. 
h-ngars and amphitheatre seats have been erec- 
ted, and after weeks and months of proilicio^s 
e-riyity. it win be occupied -by. one of the 
lcrgest crowds that has ever been assembled on 
the continent. Tbe stadium alone will seat 
70.000 peop.e. and with the sightseeing space 



afforded by. the skyscraplng hotels and commer- 
cial buildings along Michigan Avenne. as well 
as the standing space for the multitude outside 
the pylons and west of the Illinois Central 
tracks, over a million people will be able to 
witness the. event. For nearly a week, every 
railroad entering Chicago has been sending extra 
rolling -stock to distant points to carry the 
thousands of excursionists that are coming to 
the meet. For several weeks all downtown 
loop district hotels have been swamped with 
requests for reservations during the meet, and 
everything points to the biggest crowd of people 
during Avinti'-n Week that has been congregated 
since the World's Fair. The city Is gay with 
bunting and flags, and next week will virtually 
be dedicated to th- holiday spirit In Chicago. 

Fashion has decreed that the event will have 
Its heartiest sympathy and patronage, and Mrs. 
Harold McCormlck. wife of the chairman of 
the finance committee of the meet, who is also 
a daughter of John D. Rockefeller and social 
arbiter of Chicago, will attend the meet, to- 
gether with the leading society people of the 
Middle West. On Wednesday the Chicago Board 
of Trade will attend In a body, and other days 
or the meet will be nominated In honor of 
the varions states adjoining Illinois, while their 
governors and leading citizens are exneoted to 
be In attendance. On Monday, ten thousand 
dependent children will be guests of the pro- 
jectors of the meet and other child wards of 
the charitable bodies of Chicago will be given 
an opportunity to participate in this epochal 
event. ■ ■

Especial Interest attaches to the "coming 
back" of Bud Mars, who recently met with a 



severe accident in Erie, Pa., and the apparent 
retraction of Walter Brooklns of his previously 
announced Intention to never attempt another 
aeroplane flight. 

It is the lure of the rich prizes, the richest 
of which is the duration purse of $10,000. with 
prize of $5,000 to the winner, and v.-ith $2,000 
and $1,000 as the respective second and third 
prizes, to.be awarded to tbe flyers who, during 
the entire meet, remain longest in the air.

OF AVIATION AS AN AMUSEMENT 

Scientific Exploits from the Standpoint of a Public Entertainment 
ternational Aviation Mtet in Chicago 



t!oo ana the possibilities of development of the 

aeroplanes? _ 

The first exhibition feat! given here by Orville 
Wright. Latham, Bougler, Farman and Blerlot. 
were only considered as line circus numbers, 
but with no practical signification. 

Tlie Berlin crowds at first kept aloof from all 
aviation meetings. When a few German capital- 
ists organised the Wright Gesellscbaft with s 
view of propagating the American machine 
throughout Germany, and Enler. Grade A Dorner 
launched the "Albatross" factory of aeroplanes, 
titer were observed with distrust. No official, 
still less material, support was given to the 
aviation meets, so that the few good German 
flyers were compelled to emigrate where they 
could make more money and be better appre- 
ciated. 

The first of the German officials to see the 
Importance of aviation, was the Prussian Min- 
ister o£ War. who was stirred by the wonderful 
results of the French Circuit de l'Est. last 
August. In which Leblanc. Aubrun and Legag- 
ueux covered over 800 kilometers In six days 
with obligatory atopa. 

It was a triumph which nobody had expected, 
for till then one had thought that flying could 
only be done under favorable atmospherical con- 
ditions. The struggle that the aviators fought 
and won. against the elements, showed a new 
horizon for aviation. 

In Germany great Jealousy created the fact 
tbat several French officers had successfully 
taken part In the Circuit, as well aa In the 
"Grandee Manoeuvres of Plcardie.'* where they 
had shown their great Importance as vldettes. 
The German Minister immediately took upon 
himself to send a few officers to a flying school 
and he purchased a few machines for the army's 
use. This move of the Minister was followed

AVIATION IN ENGLAND. 



By F. ASLETT WHAT. 



Steady progress rather than any sensational 
feats has been the keynote of aviation In Eng- 
land for some time past now. Of outstanding 
ilgures we have few; Graham White and 
Thomas Sopwlth. v<lth perhaps Bobert Loralne 
the actor, practically exhaust the list. But 
on the other hand there Is a rapidly growing 
band of fearless young men who have mast- 
eredered the art of flying, and who, if they have 
not made their names household words, yet are 
rapidly becoming a band of practical experts. 

The Aero Clnb of Great Britain Is the guid- 
ing force of aviation in this country. It ia the 
sole body recognized by the International Aero- 
nautical Federation as representing the aero- 
nautical movement of Great Britain. It baa 
flying rounds at Eastchurch, Isle of Sheppey and 
Salisbury Plain. Sheds at Eastchurch are let 
to members at rentals of $375 per annum, and 
for ground rental of $60, members may build 
their own sheds. A luxurious clubhouse Is 
being bniH at - Eastchurch and without doubt 
this locality will soon become the great aviation 
center of Great Britain. 

It hardly seems possible that, barely a year 
ago, the English people were quite unawak- 
ened and Indifferent to the potentialities of 
flying. But. In fact until April. 1810, when 
Louis Paulhan the French airman, after 
a thrilling cross-country contest with Graham 
White, won the Dally Mail $30,000 prize for 
the 183 mile flight from London to Manchester, 
Interest in flying was confined to a mere hand- 
ful of people. Bnt that flight struck the imag- 
ination of everyone. Hundreds of venturous 
spirits immediately wanted to learn to fly and 
for a long time the supply of aeroplanes and 



instructors was far short of the demand. Now 
we have several well equipped schools of fly- 
ing, the most important being at Hendon — Jnst 
outside London — and from these establishments 
competent airmen are being turned out weekly. 
The fees for tuition are generally as follows: 
To learn to manipulate a biplane or mono- 
plane $525; to be tanght to fly both, $650. 
In the majority of cases also the pupil Is 
called upon to deposit a sum of $250 against 
any damage he may do to the school machines 
while learning to By. 

Immediately aviation became an Institution. 
It was of course balled as the greatest of all 
spectacular attractions and half the enterprls 
ing towns of England set about organizing a 
flying meeting. But curiously enough, in prac- 
tically every Instance the result was a financial 
failure. Although large crowds were attracted 
In every case, a sum of over $500 000 was lost 
at the five chief carnivals of flight. In every 
case preliminary expenses were abnormally 
heavy; the cost of the sheds was burdensome, 
the hire of the ground often almost prohibi- 
tive, and on the top of everything the foreign 
airmen who were to be the attraction, came 
along with demands for exorbitant fees. And 
then sgain, the attendance, although large, 
was nothing like as big as was expected. . In 
the end. the financial loss of the meeting at 
Sice was $100,000: Bournemouth. $50 000: Lan- 
ark, $50,000: Blackpool, $73,000. Bnt In any 
evnt it Is doubtful whether any of these places 
would even indulge in another meeting. It 
was found slmost impossible to hsndle the 
crowds snfflclently easy to keep them Im- 
mune from accident; while, on the other band, 
the people kicked at the long distance -they 
had to walk in order to se» anything at all. 
and also at having frequently to wait sevin or 
eight Uours without seeing anything. This 
also cut tcth ways, because the aviatoTH re- 



fused to go up unless the conditions were fav- 
orable, and consequently on one or two occa- 
sions there was almost a riot. 

Bat although British aviation baa not many 
n-orld's records to its name as yet, still com* 
very fine performances have been put up. la 
the way of duration, for instance. 8. F. Cody 
has made a British record of 4 hours, 47 niln 
ntea, and in the way of distance he mide an- 
other record and also won the Baron -le For- 
rest prize by doing 185 miles. 787 yards. J. A. 
Drexel has done the best height performance, 
flying at an elevation of 6.585 feet. I. Radley 
has achieved a speed of 58.32 miles per honr. 
while T. Sopwlth won the $20,000 Baron de 
Forrest prize for cross-country flights by fly- 
ing from Eastchurch to Thurlmont (Belgium), 
•t distance of 169 miles. In 3 hours, 40 minutes, 
"rot perhaps the beat feat yet performed* in 
England was that of Bobert Loralne. the great 
•ctor. In the teeth of a heavy gale — a storm 
n which it seemed madness to fly at all — he 
lew from Holyhead across the Irish Channel 
to Dublin, • distance of 52 miles. In an 
probabilities. Loralne will be breaking ail

White and Sopwlth are as well known on jour

AMUSEMENT EVENTS OF THE 



ACTOR BU RNED T O DEATH 

Jameson Lee Finney, an American Playing in London, Per= 
ishes in Conflagration at Carlton Hotel — Had Appeared 
in Many Metropolitan Productions 



What Is conceded to be one of the most wide- 
ly regretted deaths in the theatrical fraternity, 
occurred Wednesday evening. August 9, at the 
Carlton Hotel, London. England, when Jameson 
Lee Finney suffered the untimely fate of being 
Incinerated in tile fire that devastated the fash- 
ionable English hotel to the extent of $250,000. 

The flames were discovered at 7:20 o'clock in 
the evening, while most of the guests were at 
their repasts. Before aid could be summoned 
the flames became inconqnerahle so that all 
were forced to hasten out of the burning struct- 
ure without being able to take the time to save 
any of their clothing and valuables. Amongst 
this number were Billie Burke, the popular lit- 
tle Prohman star, her mother, J. R. Keene, John 
Wanamaker Jr., John Purroy Mitchell, all suf- 
fering the loss of their baggage. 

It seems that Finney, whose apartments were 
. eat the fifth floor, was bathing In the room whicl- 
ad joined bis when the fire broke out. He had 
not yet eaten and It is supposed he was prepar- 
ing himself for the dining room. Whether th< 
performer, shut in as he was, could not hear 
the commotion or detect the odor of the burning 
structure, will always remain in doubt. He 
never succeeded In opening the door, at any 
rate, for his unrecognisably charred remains 
were found In the enclosure with the door shut. 
His body was Identified by a watcbchaln and 
rings on his fingers. The fire in the portion of 
the hotel where the catastrophe occurred, re- 
mained uncontrollable for two hours and gutted 
at portion of His Majesty's Theatre which ad- 
joined. This theatre is in accordance closed 
until repair* are completed. ; 

The Haymarket Theatre, directly opposite, 
was also compelled to cancel its performances. 

Jameson Lee Finney was the only one who 
did sot escape. His death Is deeply mourned 
by the many members of the profession who bad 
enjoyed the pleasures of his acquaintance. H" 
was extremely popular with the English and 
well known because of his scoring such a suc- 
cess In The Dawn of a To-morrow with Gertrude 
Bniott last year. On this side Finney will al- 
ways be favorably remembered because of bis

were, up in the air. A sixth' soon -followed

McClellan Leaves 

Luna Park 



New York, Aug. 12 (Special to The Billboard). 
— A matter of utmost importance emanating from 
Luna Park, New York City, this week in the 
form of 'a substantiated renort that Fred McClel- 
lan, for nine years general manager of Frederic 
Thompson's enterprises, and for many years In 
charge of Luna Park Itself, has - severed his 
connections with the well known American 
amusement promoter. The details of the rup- 
ture came as quite a surprise to the many friends 
of both parties concerned, as there .never had 
been an Inkling of any misunderstanding be- 
tween them. In the past their work had been 
done In such unison and concord that no trou- 
ble was ever remotely anticipated. The mis- 
understanding arose a little over a week ago, 
and McClellan resigned forthwith, his ris'gnation 
taking effect at once. In his stead Theodore 
Hamlin, who has during the past season been 
actively assocl-tted with the Luna Park manage- 
ment, is superintendent and general manager, 
and will take the place vacated by the depart- 
ing well-known figure, who has so long been the 
right hand bower of Frederic Thompson. Mc- 
Clellan has already consummated agreements 
and signed contracts to take over some, big en- 
terprise at Atlantic City. , ;■•>*>• •

It Is also understood that Mr. Nelson will con- 
dense a number, of these productions, and present

which case it Is safe to assume that the Gus

is laid out. as Nelson Is known to have a friendly 
understanding with this circuit.

. New York, August 10 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — With all the pleasantry and merriment 
that proves Incidental to the introduction of a 
new theatrical season, the Criterion Theatre 
opened Its doors to a dne share of patronage by 
offering Jos. M. Gaites' production of The Girl 
of My Dreams, in which Leila Mclntyre and 
her husband. John Hyams. formerly a pair 
of vsudevtllians. hot now gradnated Into the 
realm of musical comedy, were co-starred. The 
venture of beginning the season at so early a 
date, when perspiration Is still evident in copi- 
ous quantities on most every brow confined In- 
doors, proved entirely a success, however, and 
the Nesblt-flanerbach creation, which 'had the 
enjoyment of a gratifying Chicago tenure, has 
been planted in solid terra Anna on Manhattan 
Island. It would be an Impossibility for all 
critics to agree In unanimity on the various 
features of the new musical comedv. Some were 
(rambling because the play called them again 
to their critical duties, others bad decided to 
let the public know that they were displeased 
that the production should have been offered 
the inhabitants of the Windy City first; the 
majority, however, were not pre-oplnionated In 
the least and landed the season-Initiative enter- 
tainment with Justified abandon. 

The amiable star, Leila Mclntyre, was praised 
beyond all others. Her work was clean-cut, 
dainty. Witt an air of maturity about it. that 
presages unlimited success in future stellar 
roles of more gravity. 

The New York Times observes:

mer-enduring successes are. of course, still bask- 
ing in their wonted popularity— merely three

one might expect to find in a musical show in

excuse of good acrobatic running to make the 
noise seem worth while. What - will recommend 
the entertainment to people of less flamboyant

[ACTS NE W TO N EW YORK 

Epitomized Reviews of Sketches and Comments on Dancing, 
Singing and Other Acts Seen for the First Time in the 
Metropolis — Suggestions for Their Improvement 



F A CLEMENT, comedy cartoonist: Hammer- 
stein's Boot: tea mloutei: In one. 

If P. A Clement entertained any anticipa- 
tion of an unusually successful engagement at 
Hawaii rsteln's, and found at the conclusion of 
his semi fortnightly sojourn at the Corner that 
liis fond hopes had, In a measure been rudely 
scattered, he need have no compunction In un- 
burdening himself of part of the blame for the 
aieapnomtment an a placing It upon the should- 
ers of Dame Fortune. 

in the first place the get-away spot la no 
no.Itlon for an act of the type of F. A. Cle- 
ment's. Clement is a comedy cartoonlat, ac- 
ceding to the billing. The comedy end of the 
id does not loom up very strongly, as any au- 
di mr seated beyond the tenth row In the audi- 
torium could not understand Clement's re- 
marks. The clanking of the surface car gongs, 
the rumbling noise produced by the wheels of 
tlie cars passing over the rail-frogs, drowned 
Clement's Toice. This, toeether with the bustle 
and noise incident, to the seating of the late- 
comers (the Hammersteln audience always 
fiUs to arrive until the third act la well under 
nay), caused Clement to work under a severe 
handicap. His cartoon work, while not flashy. 
Is neatly done. The pictures are simple. -A 
school girl, a young woman, the head of an 
Indian maiden, and a seaside scene, the picture 
being made upside down, were the subjects 
n<wnt selected for bis cartoons. If Clement 
wants to be a "comedy cartoonist" he must 
Mater np the comedy part of hla act. 

SHERMAN, KRANZMAN AND HTM AS, Rath- 
skeller Act; Hammers teln's; thirteen min- 
utes; full stsge. 

Sherman, Kransman and Hyman are the rem- 
nants ot the rathskeller act known as Taylor, 
Kranzman and White. The trio under the new 
came Is also doing a rathskeller turn. Oom- 
parine the first-named act with the latter It can 
not he said that Sherman, Kranzman and Hyman 
are an improvement over the old trio.' -The 
word rathskeller In vaudeville seems to be 
synonymous to noise and Sherman, Kransman 
and Hyman make plenty of It. The boys seemed 
to be unduly anxious to make good and rend- 
ered six numbers on Monday night. 



Pleasing Bill at 
5th Ave. Theatre 



Sew Tork. August 12 (Special to The Bill 
ward).— Despite the list of well-known and 
npnlar names on the bill at the FIftb Avenue 
Ills week, Monday night's audience failed to 
ispond to the efforts of tbe artists with any 
t-iree ot enthusiasm. Even the pointed re- 
narks of Nat Wills seemed Incapable of p ro- 
tating any display of appreciation comparable 

0 tbe accustomed reception tendered the King 
f Tramps and other favorites on the bill. 

Few new Items were contained In any of 
be acts, each performer evidently desiring to 
■■wet tbe choicest parts of his or her act, 
nil not attempting anything new or untried,

Hermany's Animals opened the show with a 
"War of clever stunt* showing much training 
'tbe animals in new and pleasing tarns. 
7» ests, a rather novel team for this sort 
act, gained the favor of tbe audience, while 

1 intelligent-looking and acting spaniel did 
ome balancing stunts which few dogs have 
een seen to do. A dignified-looking goat added 
nmor to the drills ot tbe animals In which It 
wk part. Only a few animals appear In

weeds without a single bitch.

Staling Bill 

at Hammerstein's 



New York. Aug. 12 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — For tbe third successive week But* 
St. Denis Is usurping tbe stellar notch on the 
Hammersteln program. Wltb the beginning ot 
the current seven-day period Miss St. Denis 
produced a new dance— or rather, two of them. 
The Cobra, or The Snake Charmer, la the title - 
rf one or tbe two, while the other is given ap- 
pellation of Tbe Nantch. In point of effect 
neither of the lastly produced terpslchorean play- 
lets seem to be on a nar with the Dance of tbe 
Radha. the dance which served as a vehicle 
during ■ the first fortnight appearance of Mlsa 
St. Denis at Hammersteln's. As the two dances 
Just produced are offerings new to Manbattan- 
ltes, a review Is given under the classification 
of New Acts- . 

Others on tbe program presenting new spec- 
ialties, or making their reappearance in New 
York after a lengthy absence, are: F. A. Clem- 
ent, comedy cartoonist, who Incumbered the 
opening position — a spot wholly unsuitable for 
an act such as Clement provides: Sherman, 
Kransman and Hyman, tbe remnant of the rath- 
skeller act, known as Taylor, Kranzman and 
White, who did nicely In Spot 4; Yvette, the 
singing comedienne and violinist, who ex- 
ploited her artistic merit In the position follow- 
ing tbe opening after the intermssion; and 
Kramer and Splllane, who gave tbe program 
a rousing finale. 

Following F. A. Clement, tbe Gordon Brothers 
executed a routine of soft-shoe dancing. Inter- 
mittently Introducing a song. The voices of 
the brothers are better than those of tbe mem- 
bers of most dancing acts. Tbe number they 
are giving is pleasing. . 

Throughout tbe eleven minutes of time al- 
lotted to the Berg Brothers, cyclists, the atten- 
tion of an auditor and spectator is not with- 
drawn from tbe movements of those on the 
stage for even an Instant. Dare-deviltry Is a 
conspicuous figure In most of the feats at- 
tempted and performed by the straight rider. 
The comedian Is a clever man. For a flnlsb. 
Which Is a sensational feat, the comedian riding 
on the shoulders of the straight cyclist, who 
Is seated on a nnicycle, rushes down an Inclined 
ladder wblcb la raised at Its point to a height 
of ten feet. 

Sherman. Kranzman and Hyman did nicely In 
tbe spot following, as did the Five Plroscoffis. 
a European Juggling act. the succeeding act 
on the program. Luciano Lucca, the donble- 
volced singer. In No. 0. prolonged his time to an 
unwise length. Eight to ten minutes Is enonfeh 
for aa act like that of Lucca's, bnt the singer 
went beyond the mark. 

Gus Edwards' School Boys and Girls. Is a 
miniature musical comedy called Graduation Day 
which, since last week, bas undergone a num- 
ber of changes, closed the first half of the show.

The Keith-Proc- 
tor Case 



Hew York, Aug. 11 (Special to The Billboard). 
—In the final arguments as to the disposition of 
the Fifth Avenue Theatre, before Judge George 
8. Bird, in the Supreme Court at Portland. Me., 
yesterday, attorneys for B. F. Keith urged to 
have the theatre auctioned off as a Keith and 
Praetor Amusement Company asset. In the same 
manner as was the Harlem Opera House. 

W. F. S. Hart, of counsel for F. F. Proc- 
tor Sr.. opposed this on the ground that the 
Union Square Theatre had been returned to Mr. 
Keith, following the dissolution of partnership, 
without any question, and that Its relation To 
the corporation was no different from that of 
the Fifth Avenue. No decision was reached by 
the court. 

Howard Ires, a Portland attorney, made the 
opening argument for Mr. Keith. He dwelt 
on the technical point that Mr. Proctor could not 
nave brought the Fifth Avenue Theatre Into 
the corporation because be had not received no- 
tice to vacate before the corporation was formed. 

He admitted that Mr. Keith was Identical with 
the International Amusement and Realty Com- 
pany, which really made it possible tor the the- 
atre to be controlled by the combine. He also 
admitted that the renewal of the lease for live 
years, and the continuance of Mr. Proctor as 
receiver of the corporation were a partial com- 
promise, but contends that under previous agree- 
ments, made when the partnership was formed, 
the parties' rights were equal.

MENT WEEK IN CHICAGO 



A SCINTILLATING BILL 


ACTS NEW TO CHICAGO 


Diamond and Nelson Prove Big Sensation at Majestic Thea= 
tre, Where Entire Program Offered Last Week Creates 
Favorable Discussion Among Audiences 


Four Acts Not Seen Before in the Windy City — Suggestions 
Offered for Improvement are Based Upon Remarks of 
Audiences as Well as Upon Personal Opinion 



boardl.— They laughed, they smiled and then — 
they screamed, and there was ample excuse for 
each demonstration of approval. Without a 
diver iu the entire bill, the Majestic offers this 
week one of the . cleanest and most pleasing 
shows imaginable. Habitual readers of this 
column may perhaps form an opinion that the 
writer is being -•slipped" by the management 
of the Majestic, and no doubt it does look a 
trifle suspicious to folks who merely read about 
the shows and do not have the good fortune to 
wituiss theul. Sow, here's a confession (strlctlv 
conBileutlul, of course) tliere Is an awful lot of 
"that slip stun*" being doue by Manager Glover, 
It's not being done to newspaper men, but (here's 
the secret), to some of the biggest and best sets 
In the business. Just glance down this list, yon 
folks who know, and try to Imagine how much 
of me root of all evil" is required to pay for 
the excellent entertainment given to Cblcugoana 
this week. There's a little safe stands In the 
office of Mr. Glover, but; from appearances last 
night it seems that an extra cigar box will be 
required to hold the "surplus" this week. That's 
the answer. Pour new acts have places on the 
bill this week, and each is justified in feeling 
proud of Its success. 

Bice. Sully and Scott, ft trio of clever acrobats, 
open the show, and are reviewed under New 
Acts on this page. 

Nonette. feature vocalist and violinist from 
the Vassar Girls, one of the big acts on the 
Orphenm Time, n --ears working alone, and 
scores big. She Is nicely costumed as a gypsy 
girl, and if gifted with a wonderful stage pres- 
ence. Her violin renditions found complete favor 
ffitb the entire -audience, and her vocal rendi- 
tions of When I'm Alone I'm Lonesome, and 
My Hero, went very big. Owing to the nature 
of tbe acts following, it was practically Im- 
possible to give Nonette a more pretentions spot, 
but had she been given a place farther down 
on the bill she would have proven one of the 
big hits of tbe show. Even as the second of- 
fering, her success was really enviable, and she 
responded to several encores. 

McDevitt, Kelly and Lucy offer an entertaining 
little skit In fnll stage and are revelwed under 
New Acts. 

Mr. George Mullen and Ed. Corelll offer some- 
thing entirely new in the acrobatic acts. They 
•re billed as Conversational Comedy Gymnasts 



Willard Theatre 
Revives Monk Act 



Chicago, m., August 11 (Special to The Bill 
koard).— The Willard Theatre, located on 51st 
Street, has the good fortune to offer two distinct 
»x office magnets this week. They are: Count 
the First, a blghly educated chimpanzee, and 
adonis and Dog. one of the most beautiful acts 
wearing In the family theatres. The result 
>r this great bill is readily noticeable, owing to 
he Tact that the house was sold ont for nearly 
ill the performances during the week. 

The show is opened by the Onrl Family, 
ugglers and acrobats. They do some excellent 
tcrobatlc work and nice juggling, though some 
>f their stunts are not as new as they might be. 

Henry Catllano, impersonator and linger. Is 
he second number, and while his opening Is 
wtlceably weak, be redeems himself with some 
IjVtd impersonations. His first ts that of Ben 
Welsh, but be has made a grave mistake In 
"sing Mr. Welsh's material Instead of bis own; 
lowever. he put It across very nicely. Bis ren- 
lltlon of a sentimental Italian number was well 
ecelved, and closing his act with a popular 
lalect song, be made quite a hit. 

Count the First, Is ■ very highly educated 
himpamee. Working in full stage, he opened 
lining. He Is dressed in evening clothes from 
ollar to shoes. He had his coffee and cigarette 
?.. a delightfully natural and clever manner. 

■;S* d . lnI > e * he. delighted the entire audience 

if. . "kiting and bicycle riding, with never 

bitch In the entire performance. He closes by 
tsrobing and gotng to. bed. The act proved one

Bice, bully and Scott are all good comedians,

tbem in their present act. They may be clever

find a better way of demonstrating the fact. The 
old rebounding table has been worked to death

George S. Cullen, who tar the past several sea- 
sons has been treasurer of the Wilson Avenue 
Theatre on the north shore, has accepted a posi- 
tion in the same capacity at the Columbia 
Theatre, the loop burlesque , house, located at 
Madison and Clark Street. Mr, Cullen has » 
host of friends In professional circles In and 
about Chicago, who will be pleased to hear of 
bis advancement. Undoubtedly bla courteous at- 
tention .and pleasant personality will be missed 
by the patrons of the Wilson, bnt S. B. Walsh, 
who acted aa Mr. Cullen'a aaaistant at that 
house, will act aa treasurer, and endeavor to 
retain all the good qualities which has made 
George so well liked.

board). — Alphonae Zelaya, the pianist, through 
the Influence of his agents. The Beehler Bros., 
opens a week's engagement at The Majestic on 
Monday, August 14. This Is something very 
unusual, as most of the sets playing the Majes- 
tic must come from the Bast Zelaya's opening 
Is looked forward to with great expectancy by a 
number of the more important agents In Chicago, 
and It la a possibility that he wlU prove a big 
sensation. 

JOE MORRIS E SSAYS VAUDEVILLE 

New York, Aug. 12 (Special to The Billboard). 
Joe Morris, the comedian, wtro has appeared as 
a feature In various music productions, lately 
In Too Many Wives, with Charles Allen as a 
partner. Is a candidate for vaudeville honors. 
Irving Cooper, who Is directing the destinies of 
the new team, has booked the act at the Fifth 
Avenue Theatre the week of August 21. During 
the seven day period just passed, Morris and 
Allen appeared at the American Musi* Hall. At 
that house they were originally booked for three 
days, but scored so heavily that they were held 
over for a full week. 



Jack Wilson and Nelson A. Borer are pre- 
paring a new act. In which the Jolly pair will 
appear shortly oa. the Or phenol Circuit. 



that the general Idea predominates that the 
springs are responsible; They responded to two 
encores, and no doubt would have gone better 
had there been more people In nie house at the 
time they went on. ■ j 

McDEVTTT, KELLY AND LUCY, Song and dance 
skit. Majestic. Chicago, i Third in nine 
' ' act show.. Time. 20, minutes in full stage. 

McDevitt, Kelly and Lacy offer a sketch of 
antedeluvian fame. It's the same old Idea of 
a woman who is putting on an -act and having 
advertised for two young men ts disappointed. 
She accepts fate and tries out and rehearses a 
duo of :' piano movers who have just 'delivered 
l piano to her apartments. As the act progresses 
the whole audience seems to realize what a pity 
it Is that clever duo of gentlemen 'should "queer" 
themselves by working in an act of this sort, 
when 'really they could dean ua big by doing* 
a little comedy song, dance and:plano stunt all 
their own. The lady Is neither clever nor pleas- 
ing; In personality, but this seems to be one of 
those necessary evils, and must be looked over. 
Tbe act went very, nicely and made good. 

MILDRED HOLLAND AND COMPANY. Dra- 
matic extracts. Majestic, Chicago. Fifth 
in nine act show- Time, 23: minutes. Full 
stage. 

Mildred Holland is supported by a fairly good 
company In a tabloid version of The Power Be- 
hind the Throne. The first scene fs the portrayal 
of Herr Winter's garden, and depicts the part 
wherein Aria Winter Is betrothed to Baron 
Ronald. Tula part is -nicely enacted by Mr. 
Franklin Pangborn. A complete version has 
been worked up, leaving no doubt as to the chan- 
nel of the plot. It is unnecessary <o here review 
the story, as it Is familiar to almost every one. 
The second scene shows the palace of tbe Duchess 
Von Waldhelm. played by Anna Barton, whose 
heavy work Is commendable. Others In the cast 
are: Robert Robson, aa Herr Winter: Harry D. 
Hayes, as Count Ton Oberfels, and Del La Barre, 
as Ronald's father. Tbe act was -.well received, 
but did not make aa much of a hut as most ex- 
pected of It, ;

Off Week at 
Wilson Ave. Theatre 



Chicago, 111., Ang. 11 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — This was another "oft week" at the 
Wilson Avenue, the north shore house. There 
were any number of complications and "rocks 
In the road." Charcott In a mystery act waa 
baled very heavily as the headline attraction, 
but closed after some controversy regarding tbe 
cutting out of certain parts of hla act. He 
went very well on Monday night, and was not 
closed by the management, according to minora 
along the rlalto. A mutual agreement waa 
reached between Charcott and the management, 
when Charcott refused to cut's weird piece of 
business from his act. 

The Four Dancing Belles open the show In a 
singing and dancing act, and went very nicely. 
The girls are all young and clever, and have a 
good future from present Indications. 

Helen VanBuren appears In a repertoire of 
songs and made a very good Impression. Miss 
VanBuren la gifted with a nice yolce and a 
pleasing personality, bnt she mates a grave 
mistake In trying to introduce tbe little comedy 
used by her. • She would have a beUer act were 
this feature eliminated. She responded to sev- 
eral encores. 

No, It was not amateur night but the third 
number might have "copped the three dollars" 
had It been so. George K. Brown. & Company 
appear In a sketch dealing with one Father 
Doyle. Mr. Brown disguises himself as the 
Father, while awaiting him In- hla library, and 
Is called upon by his wife, who confesses' In 
"heart-felt" tones that abe loves her hubby no 
longer. He tries to shame her by? telling her 
all the sacrifices he (hubby) has rojade for net 
sake, bnt falls down flat. Mr. Brown Is clever, 
but the part he has chosen: is too heavy for him, 
while the lady la Impossible In her work. 

The dippers, a dno of clever colored singers 
and comedians, were the hit of the bill. The 
lady of the act has a wonderfully sweet voice, 
and tbe gentleman la a real comedian. They 
responded to several encores. w 

Myrtle Byrne, assisted by her two brothers, 
close the show In an exhibition of fancy shoot- 
ing, and proved a big hit.

New York, Aug. 12 (Special to The Billboard). 
— The proposed new law adopting drastic meas-

and all companies handling film as It Is now 
being considered by the Fire Commissioners and 
the Municipal Explosives Commission of New 
York City, is being rigorously protested against

certain requirements In regard -to fire protection. 

which are almost impossible to obtain. The 
most strenuously protested section Is No. 7, of 
Chapter 23, which reads as follows: 

"Each compartment wherein Inflammable mo- 
tion picture films are stored shall be ventilated 
by a floe constructed of concrete and. lined with 
tile pipe, at least eight inches square inside

—John P. Wagner has been appointed receiver

some Instances would be ten or twelve stories 
higher than the theatre Itself. 

A meeting was held at the Municipal Ex*

GOVERN MENT P ICTURES 

Chicago Film Company Said to have Made Contract withl 
Government Officials to Reproduce Moving Pictures 
of the Nation's Activities 



It Is said that Government officials have en- 
tered into a contract with a Chicago firm for 
the purpose of reproducing moving pictures of 
the various activities of the nation. 

Each cabinet officer will be given the author- 
ity to arrange with the picture company for such 
pictures as he wishes taken relative to his 
own department. In this way the army and 
navy departments will be able to show the dif- 
ferent phases of army and navy life; the de- 
partment of agriculture the effects of pure and 
impure food; the public roads department can 
show the farmer how little work can be done 
on a bad road and bow much work can be done 
on a good road; while the Interior department 



Jesse James 

In Picture 



Another feature film has been placed upon 

the market, which undoubtedly will be a big 

winner. It has been produced by a wen-known 
manufacturer for B. J. Eichenlaub of Chicago, 
promoter of special attractions. 

It deals with a well-known subject, which Is 
very essential to the success of special attrac- 
tions, being Jesse James, the Missouri Outlaw. 
Now one might think from the name that it Is 
one of those lurid and extremely sensational 
films which are entirely unfit far children to see. 
Jbnt on the contrary it deals with the life of the 
rtroe Tesse James and shows a number of good 
-deeds in the life of this great American char- 
acter of which the general public Is not cog- 
nisant. It also shows the true way in which 
•the shooting of the great bandit king was done 
:and the real reason for It, a thing which there 
'is not one person out of a thousand has any 
'knowledge of. Taken as" a whole, the picture 
.adheres strictly to the history of Jesse James 
. and shows him Just as he really was. 

Although sensational to a certain extent, 
- i it is said there is absolutely nothing In it 
that Is .at all objectionable, it really being a 
-stirring and well-acted Western picture, full 
-of exciting scenes and thrilling situations. ■ 

Mr. Elcbenlaub has spared no expense In 
i making this feature first-class In every respect, 
-not only from the standpoint of production, 
'hut also in the Hue of advertising, be having 
. a fall end complete line of different styles of 
lithographs, heralds, cards, etc., in fact, there 
"Is nothing lacking in the attraction whatsoever. 

AlthonRh- the picture has only been out a. 
-comparatively short time, Mr. Elcbenlaub has 
already disposed of several state rights for 
it. and evidently, as he told our correspon- 
- dent, from the way that Inquiries are coming 
in regarding it. the film has taken hold and will 
"be a big succ ess in every way. 

OBJECT TO P ICTURE. 

Toronto. Can.. Aug. 11 (Special to The Btll- 
"■• -board).— A few davs ago a local picture house 
'Projected a film, entitled A Mother and Sons of 
• "1776."' which appears to have been very offensive 
to Canadians and British subjects in general, 
"The final scene of the film represents the lower- 
ing of the British flag, and the hoisting In its 
place or the Stars and Stripes. 

' In connection, a local newspaper remarked In

Henrietta Crosman shone ont moat brilliantly 
in a radiance all her own, with which she 
embellished her work In Miss Catherine Cush- 

ing'B three-act drama. The Real Thine, which 

enjoyed Its premiere at the Maxlne Elliott The- 
atre last Thursday evening, August 10. This 
Maurice Campbell production was the second 
new one of the season and also the second New 
Tor* premiere of the week, preceded as it was 
by the Monday evening premiere of The Girl 
of My Dreams at the Criterion. The weather 
waa such as would not lend encouragement to 
mid-August opening but proved futile against 
the drawing powers of the star. 

No play is secured against the criticism of 
the press— and The Real Thing proves the in- 
fallibility of this rule by being subjected to 
criticism which, in the main, concerned Itself 
with the unpleasant reflections on womanhood. 
The plot reveals a wire totally absorbed in 
the raising of her brood of two, so oblivions 
does she become to the happiness of her spouse, 
mat for recreation and enjoyment be Is forced 
to enjoy the company of a yormg- Female neigh- 
bor. With this understudy he disports at ten- 
nis, mixes In society. His wife Is too concerned 
in her children to give way to suspicion, but 
a widow enters In on tbe scene and awakens 
the wife to her proper self by appealing to 
her to adopt a gayer manner of life and to 
dress attractively. This tbe wife does, adjusts 
her love for her offspring to her desire to win 
her husband's regard, and succeeds in restoring 
happiness to the homestead. It Is the appeal to 
womanhood to devote her attentions to dressing 
attractively, that the critics and offensive. How- 
ever, it should be remembered that fascinating 
clothing is sot the theme of the play, but 
that It Is only . incidental and contributes to 
the ultimate aim of the ploy. It Is only an 
agent that belpa to Imbed the moral In tbe 
minds of the audience*. 

Henrietta Crosman Is a bright luminary in- 
deed and ably demonstrates the reason of her 
choice for the stellar role. 

Tbe Tribune discusses as follows: "Miss Cros- 
man. as Jess Lorraine, took advantage of tbe 
many brilliant lines In the snappy comedy to 
make the play highly enjoyable to the audience. 
Her witty sayings were received with much 
laughter. Minnie Dupree, In the character of 
Mrs. Grayson, shared the honors with Miss 
Crosman." 

The Times finds a bit too much reiteration of 
exposition In the Maxlne Elliott Theatre tenant, 
but finds no other grounds for complaint. Re- 
garding the favorite, Mr. Klauber comments: 
All that she does in this play Miss Crosman 
has done repeatedly before, but they are things 
that no one else really does any better. She 
is here, In the beginning, the wise widowed 
person who discovers signs of discord in the 
household, analyzes the conditions as any wise 
woman would, and goea about to effect a rem- 
edy. 

"She transforms the little lavendar-and-Iace 
housewife into a fashion plate, an Incident, by 
the way. handled to much better advantage in 
albert E. Thomas' play. Her Husband's Wife, 
and she eventually plunges herself Into great 
distress over the belated arrival of the love 
story involving her own future happiness." 

,. I f"' al ne Reene snd associate players report 
that business haa been very good over the Craw- 
ford Circuit of Airdomes. Miss Keene and her 
players have well ingratiated themselves Into 



tbe friendship of their audiences along the cir- 
cuit and will no doubt be re-engaged on that 
circuit next season should they find It practi- 
cable to again play this circuit. Miss Keene 
ana Company will go to the Falls City for a 
few weeks and then return to permanent stock 
for the winter.

Is sure to he left wondering, after seeing the 
picture. If some of the subtitles themselves 
meant what they said, to say nothing of the 
meaning of some of the scenes. One subtitle 
states that a certain character has lost fals 
mind, while a later scene shows him to have 
a remarkable memory for names and Incidental 
details. Ho explanation Is offered for this sad- 
den change, if a change at all. The plot, as 
near as It can be made ont, is a simple one, 
showing the breaking np of a pioneer family 
and, many years later, the reunion of father 
and son. As far as setting, costuming, pho- 
tography, etc.. go. tbe film Is closed to criti- 
cism, unless Western pictures as a whole are 
criticised. 

THE POISONED FLUME. American. Drama. 
Full length. Released August 14. 
The scenic effects and the appropriateness of 
this production mark it as one of the best 
of American films. The poisoning of a flume 
Its nse In a photoplay is novel. The reason 
is not a new thing in the country district, but 
for the poisoning, as well ss the results, are 
logical and appropriate and thus tbe story Is 
made to appear very real and the weight of 
the dramatic incidents is increased. The parrs 
are all well taken and the pistol play, which 
ordinarily seems so put on. appears perfectly 
justinable. In this the producer has overcome 
the greatest difficulty offered to dramatic West- 
ern productions.

PATENTS CO. 

SUCK'S BOMA2TCE. Sellg. Drama. Length, 
1.000 feet. Released August 8. 
This tale of the West relates a number of 
fairly interesting little stories and one central 
yarn which is dramatic In the extreme and 
which shows the cowboy In his worst element 
as well as In his most foolish one. It l» 
a love story, wherein the loves, gains tbe girl 
by power of bis fists snd correctness of his 
aim and where his only rival) resorts to tbe 
gun method of winning the hand of the lady. 
A little too much strong man anfc erackshot acts 
are presented, but the play gois well because 
of the admirable way It has bregn staged ana 
acted. The scenes are truly Western scenes 
snd entirely appropriate to the] story, as welt 
as being beautiful ones from k scenic stand- 
point. The incidental mores in5 the action are 
Well handled, being both well eUrected and per- 
formed with skin on tbe part t>f the actor. 

LOVE Iff THE HILLS. Essfcay. Drama. 
Length, 1,000 feet. Released August 8. 
This extremely simple story is; put on so ss 
to appear perfectly possible of reality and Is 
not overdone In any -particular part. It Is 
simply the tale of the; girl who falls In love 
with a man and who .thinks ha has left her 
when he has not, a few complications occurring; 
and the whole cleared np. Etch act seems 
perfectly justified and perfectly jeatorsJ. so that 
a logical and clearly- Interpreted play is the 
result and likewise a pleasing ode. The scenes 
are as one would expect them, rthe surveyor's 
camp and his outfit and the girl's home being 
well staged and yet not overdone. The play Is 
somewhat ont of the line of Esaanay produc- 
tions, although this fact Is not to the least dis- 
advantageous. •

GARDEN WALL. Hal em. - Comedy. 
Length, 907 feet. - Released August 2. . 
This little sketch starts off with a very 
comical situation and works along perfectly 
risible ami expected lines, pleasing all tbe 
way through, until the end Is rescued. The 
theme is somewhat novel In character — not la 
what transpires over the garden wall, hot In 
the misunderstandings and peculiar traits 
brought into the situation before the Wall is 
crossed and which last for a little time after 
this event. 8ome comical little incidents axe 
portrayed, which add Interest to the play and 
naturalness to the movement. Tbe photography 
la sot as good as In many other protractions 
of this company, bnt the other make-op of the 
play, such as staging and scenery. Is good. 
The film is one of those which, while perhaps 
not the most pleasing ones produced, are sore 
to please s little everywhere they are shown, 
and for an all-round production It Is highly 
meritorious. 

LOVE AND SILENCE. Pathe. Drama. Length. 
1,000 feet. Beleased August 3. 
The most meritorious- quality In this pro- 
duction is the manner of acting and thus for 
two definite reasons. The play Is of that senti- 
mental, dangerous kind, which, when poorly 
acted. Is overbearing snd extremely annoying 
and which when well played Is sure to he a 
decided success. It Is a strong plot and It Is 
developed and closed with earnestness snd a 
touch of reality In the hands of the cast 
here. The plot Is thick as well ss deep, but 
kept clear and not lacking In any Item which 
goes to make It dramatic. It will rank as 
one of the best dramas of any film production 
and one or the best-played of dramas. The 
story Is unique, bnt perfectly possible. It pos- 
sesses a high moral tone and a degree of finesse 
and refinement pleasing In the ex treme and 
entirely without hideous costumes or boring 
peculiarities so often seen jp society dramas 
and which sever occur an] 1 1 hfjfc else. Tbe play 
is well staged and finely ddWted otherwise. 

THE LEGEND OF LAKE DESOLATION. Pathe. 
Drama. Beleased August S. Length 1,000 
feet • -■ 

This Is the most dramatic Indian story, if not 
the only dramatic Indian story ever pat Into 
motion picture form. There Is a true snd deep 
plot In the story, sad the spirit of the action as 
written by the author Is splendidly carried ont 
by the director. The selection of scenes, the cos- 
taming and the photography are all of a high 
order, and lend a charm to the play in addition 
to that possessed by the .plot Itself. The pro- 
duction lis pi ctur esque in {the extreme, and Is a 
true legend. It contains to Indian fights or any 
other klna of fights, exe».pt right In the start 

the action soon giving way to the devel< 

of dramatic situations. The photography 
cellent and evenly toned throughout the nun. 

THE NEW OFFICER, iobln. Comedy. Be- 
leased July SL, Mirth 1,080 feet. 
The new officer's dream T of promotion and big 
real experience la the capacity of a policeman, 
form the gist of this amusing little comedy. 
There are a succession of comical events which 
happen during one day's time, and there Is also 
some connection between them. The ordinary 
stunts applied to the policeman in motion pic- 
ture plays are an played with vim and vigor 
here, and they are well photographed. There la 
nothing striking about tbe film, bat It serves 
as so much good amusement.

FORTUNES MADE IN THE AMUSE- 
MENT CALLING. 

By ROBERT GRATJ. 

OC all the great fortunes amassed in the 
auinsrnient calling, it may be truthfully stated 
that the majorltv of those acquired outside of 
the circus field have been accumulated In the 
last ten years. P. T. Barnnm, James T. Bailey, 
the Sells family, the RlngUngs and others oper- 
ating in the white tented areoa were million- 
aires long before that distinction had been 
reached by any of their managerial confreres 
In the -distinctly theatrical or musical world. 

During the last decade, A brum L. Erlanger, 
Marc Klaw, William Harris, Henry W. Savage, 
Nlsun and Zimmerman, Joseph Brooks and Al. 
llavmau have become millionaires, and for- 
tu ics are also possessed by H. B. Harris. Lee 
Shiiliert. Samuel Harris. Dana Belasco, A. H. 
Woods, Joseph Grismer, Harrison Grey Fiske, 
. Lew Fields and William A. Brady, all operating 
in I he business department of the theatre and 
all of their accumulations the result of com- 
paratively recent prosperity, while the most of 
those named In either class have vested rights 
In real, personal and theatrical property to such 
an extent, that their incomes are practically as- 
sured on a high basis for years to come. 

Likely millionaires (and these have attained 
their fortunes In the operation of theatres of 
the "one-night stand** class) are Julius Cahn, 
John Cort and Moses Eels, and they, too. by 
reason of. the commissions which they received 
for booking attractions In theatres other than 
their own. are assured large, annual incomes as 
1- nc as their business is conducted on present 
lines. 

Of theatrical and operatic managers who have 
passed away, Frank W. Sanger left about half 
a million dollars, while a similar fortune was 
inherited by the widow and daughter of Maurice 

.Gran, who had the distinction of being the first 
Impresario to die -in comfortable circumstances. 
Heinrich Conriod also died rich. Jacob LItt 
iraa a millionaire when he went to a premature 
grave, and the majority of his fortune was 
amassed . In a single play, In Ola Kentucky. J- 
H.. McVIcker was a man of wealth, and his 
fortune was also created In a managerial ca- 
reer of much artistic worth. He was the father- 

,-ln-la.w of Edwin Booth, and McVicker's Theatre 
In Chicago, Is a monument to his long and 
honorable activity! John W. Albaugb left a 

'. larzer-fortune which was principally earned In 

-Baltimore and the South. David Bidwell. John 
SpauMIng and John W. Norton were rich men 
wl-en death, brought their active careers to a 
close; while E. S. Gilmore and Eugene Tompkins 
were In the millionaire class long before they 
med. Oscar Bammersteln Is a millionaire and 
lie has the distinction of helng the only im- 
presario, dead or living, to reach the glory, 
though it must be candidly confessed that his 
mnslc hall at 42d Street and Broadway and his 
real estate operations have contributed In a 
greater degree to his present possessions than 
hi« grand opera achievements. But Oscar — -be- 
lne a wizard — Is not to be lodged by ordinary 
standards and he would be a rash prophet who 
would attempt to foretell what this Impresario's 
future will disclose. 

In vandevllle many fortunes eof great dimen- 
sions have been made In the: last decade. B. 
F. Keith Is many times a millionaire, and it 
Is said that from his moving picture interests 
t"» h«° now a n Income of $250,000 a year. 



while his most Intimate business associate, 
Frederick F. Proctor, who began bis career as a 
strolling acrobat, has such valuable properties 
under his control and the Income from them is 
so large than an appraisement of his estate 
would disclose a surprising total. 

S. Z. Poll, also of vaudeville, came here 
eighteen years ago from Italy. He served as a 
sculptor in the present Eden Musee on West 
23d Street, New York City, and went to New 
Haven in toe early »90*s and opened there a 
small musee where a few wax figures of his 
own construction were shown. From time to 
time he added a vaudeville act or two. anil 
these appeared tram four to ten times dally. 
Today this industrious Italian has ten theatres, 
the majority of which he owns, and his fortune 
Is estimated as in excess of a million dollars. 

The late E. J. Kohl and his partners, George 
Castle and George MIddleton. who operate West- 
ern vandevllle theatres, are wealthy, while 
Morris Meyerfield, the president of what is 
known as the Orpbenm Circuit, about two de- 
cades ago became interested in the two theatres 
giving vaudeville at San Francisco and Los 
Angeles. Today he I- the leading spirit in the 
most extensive and most nrofitable chain of the- 
atres in the world and in conjunction with one 
or two associates owns more than a dozen 
amusement edifices and holds long leases on as 
many more. He is a millionaire, while his gen- 
eral manager. Martin Beck, who fifteen years 
ago was encountering -vicissitudes In the West 
such as few men have survived, has by rea- 
son of his industry and energy become the most 
conspicuous and by far the most Influential 
figure in the field of vandevllle. His career has 
Illustrated more -than any other the opportnnitr 
which vaudeville has offered and is still of- 
fering to the rising generation of showmen. 

Percy G. Williams, who less than ten years 
ago was managing a small variety theatre In 
the Eastern district «f Brooklyn, Is a mil- 
lionaire, and has become In short space of time 
a theatrical magnate. His rise Is dne .to a 
fixed policy to present in his theatres a superior 
grade of entertainment, and to him more than to 
any one Individual or body of Individuals is 
dne the uplift which has obtained in what Is 
known as modern vaudeville. Mr. Williams 
owns several theatres in Greater New Xork 
and has large Interests In other directions. 

In the last few years a gradual foothold has 
been gained by a number of gentlemen as a re- 
sult of the moving picture craze — and the

FOOLSHEAD, MANIKIN. Itala. Comedy. 
Split reel. Released August 19. 
Foolshead here assumes the role of manikin 
in order to be near his sweetheart who Is 
a clerk in a tailoring establishment. The way 
he frightens the women who come to buy Is 
the basis of the comedy and the play ends 
In a pandemonium of fright. The stunts are 
truly comical and are cleverly enacted. The 
excuse for the hilarity is good and the acro- 
batics up to the standard set by this com- 
pany and with this combination a good result 
is sure to be obtained. 

ROMEO ADS JULIET. Thanhouser. Drama. 
Length, 2,000 feet. Two reels. 
Shakespeare's most popular drama, so far as 
modern popularity goes, is here produced In 
dramatic and picturesque style. As for the 
story itself, it is, of course, useless to speak 
of its merits. The production as shown here, 
we may say. Is equal If not superior to the 
ordinary legitimate rendition, making up In 
real scenic effects for what it lacks In beauti- 
ful dialogue. The scenes picked out for the 
setting are beautiful ones and thoroughly ap- 
propriate to the play. The costuming likewise 
is both appropriate and sumptuous. The two- 
reel production is a new venture to the Inde- 
pendents, and the Thanhouser Company gains 
the honor of starting the diversion from pre- 
vious methods. The reels will lie released on 
consecutive Saturdays, so that both reels will 
be sure to be shown in any house the first Is.

achievements of some of these make Interesting 
reading today. 

Less than five years ago Marcns Loew was 
operating a penny arcade in the upper part of 
New Vork. To this he later added a small au- 
ditorium where moving pictures were exhibited 
at an admission fee of five cents. Today he Is 
rich; he controls no less than twenty theatres, 
half of which are in New Tork. 

William Gane, but three years ago showed in- 
trepidity by leasing the Manhattan Theatre, 
which was only availaUe from month to month 
pending Its destruction for mercantile use. He 
was able to remain there nearly eighteen months 
and made a fortune, as a result. Today he has 
constructed a new auditorium on Broadway and 
31st Street, which is also called The Manhat- 
tan Theatre, while at the Circle Theatre and at 
a half dozen others in this vicinity he is making 
money. 

In Philadelphia, a manufacturer of moving 
picture machines, s. Lubin, entered a few 
years ago into the exhibition side of the busi- 
ness, and his Interests are so large at this 
time, that there Is no space to enumerate them 
other than to add his name to the millionaire 
class of showmen. 

Outside of the business department there are 
many large fortunes to be noted. Joseph Mur- 
ph*- has long been known as the richest actor, 
but this distinction , is hardly true of him to- 
day, although he is undoubtedly a rich man. 
Francis Wilson's wealth Is large: Lotta has 
been a millionairess for twenty years and her 
properties increase in value all the time. Mag- 
gie Mitchell (now Mrs. Abbott) was very rich 
when she retired from the stage. Oliver Byron 
is worth half a million. George Cohan has 
amassed a fortune in the last few years. Mc- 
Intyre and Heath have saved a fortune, so 
have the Russell Brothers. William H. Crane 
John Drew, Jeff De Angelis, Lew Fields, Maud 
Adams and William Collier are not only rich, 
but are at this time adding to their wealth with 
no indication of any retrograde movement in 
their careers. 

There are many instances where Immense 
earnings by Individuals have not resulted in" 
large savings. Sarah Bernhardt, whose active 
career has been perhaps the most prolonged 
that can be recalled and whose honorarium • has 
been the largest of any that theatrical history 
records, has no fortune whatever, and her In- 
come Is, as a rule, used In advance of Us date 
of maturity. It has always been necessary for 
the divine Sarah to call upon her Impresarios 
for help on a tour, and she has invarlabiv 
given as security her life-insurance policy, and 
yet here we have a player who never earns 
less than 8200,000 a year! 

(To be continued next week). i 



good, faces and outlines being shown clearly 
and steadily. The play Is not a patriotic one, 
the military equipment serving only incidentally 
and being kept in the background. 

THE BLUNTED SWORD. Comedy. Split reel. 
Same reels as Foolshead, Manikin. 
The blunted sword is given to an idiotic 
servant to sharpen. In his chase after the 
scissors grinder, his wild appearance, increased 
by the sword, drives nearly all the people he 
meets on the streets before him. The ordinary 
chase scenes are depicted and are fully as 
good as any this company has put on. 

THE THREE CALLS. Champion. Drama. 
Length, 950 feet. Released August 14. 
This military production Is founded on the 
very old theme of aphasia, the soldier lover 
losing Mb Identity when shot In battle and 
only having it restored when the battle scene 
Is reproduced. Of course, when the soldier is 
out of bis head, he does not recognize his 
sweetheart, and there is a lot of weeping and 
wailing and visible expressions of agony, all 
of which may please an audience here and 
there and certainly the attempted dramatic 
effect will amuse then* There is nothing 
wrong with this play, only it Is full fifteen 
years old. and considering the great progress 
and rapid rate of advancement that has been 
made in photoplays, it appears some fifty or 
a hundred years behind the times. Unfortun-' 
ately. the photography Is good, for It shows 
the almost expressionless faces very clearly, 

NOBODY LOVES A FAT WOMAN. Thanhonser. 
Comedy. Full length. Released August 
15. 

There is a very clever and Interesting little 
plot running through this story, but the In- 
cidental events introduced form the gist of 
the -. comedy, and a very good comedy it Is. 
Because of a considerably large dowry Incident 
to the fat woman's wedding, she has a very 
much younger and more proportionately built 
suitor than herself. Vanity aroused by the 
graceful aquatic performance of a goddess of 
skin and bones, makes her determined to be- 
come a diving Venus. Her suitor has tolerated 
her heretofore, but now he rebels and ordering 
the fat woman to "fade away," goes after the 
slender swimraer. Another incident in the plot 
serves to make it doubly interesting — especially 
for the suitor: while the many Incidents at the 
seashore and In the water are humorous In 
the extreme and, as photographed, are pos- 
sessed of good scenic qualities. A good, whole 
some, woll-playcd comedy Is the best descrip- 
tion for the production here.

THE BEAUTIFUL VOICE. Biograph. Comedv 
Released July 31. Length 247 feet. 
This very blunt and frank story and likewise 
old style one, la played In very good manner ana 
not carried to any extremes. It is merely the 
picturing of a little Joke or runny experience 
which happened to a certain man who was en. 
tranced by a voice which he heard through a 
window. 

MR. PECK GOES CALLING. Comedy. Length 
74S feet. Same reel as The Beautiful 
Voice. 

This somewhat little comedy contains mmr 
points which are quite natural and very auiusliej, a 

and also some very far fetched ones. It is 

almost impossible of happening, but if the audi- 
nee can keep the story perfectly straight through 
Us many and quick )- occurring and changing 
scenes, it will prove amusing. The acting it 
very well done, especially considering tue pecu- 
liar nature of the story, 

WINTER FLOWERS AND PLANTS. Gaunwm 
Scenic. Released August 5. Length i.Ojo 
feet. 

Many good photos of some rather unknown 
plants and flowers and some which are well 
known, are shown in this film. Colored photo- 
graphy Is used, and the beauty of the plants is 
thus much added to. The short length or Mm 
makes a good subject to accompany the other 
production pictured on the same reel. 

A F — .on. -r FANCY. Drama. Length 800 feet. 
Same reel as Winter Flowers and Meats. 
Some very splendid scenes of an Italian Chase 
are pictured In this film and made incidental 
to the good little story for which the film i* 
named. A large number of people, horses, uogs 
and other animals appear in the scenes, ami 
make the scenic effect of the film sufficient)? 
meritorious to warrant its exhibition, even were 
the little drama excluded. The photography Is 
exceptionally good, aud while the acting is duue 
In the somewhat unappreciated European style, it 
contains no glaring bad points, and does nu; 
mar the Bcenlc beauty of the film. 

IN SWITZERLAND, rathe. Scenic. Length 
262 ft. Same reel as An Up-to-Date 
Elopement 

A panoramic view of a long stretch of shore 
around lake Lucerne and some views taken dur- 
ing the ascent of Mount Rlghy form the sub- 
stance of there beautiful scenes. The phot 
grapby is splendidly done and the beauteoi 
scenery depicted when so beautifully -photo 
graphed makes a scenic film of the highest 
grade. The length of this subject Is a no-l 
ticeable good feature being long enough to be la 
teresting and not so long as to get tiresome. 

THE ZYLRAS. Pathe. Length ISO ft. Sana 
reel as In Switzerland. 

This is a short acrobatic vaudeville skew 
showing some fine strength and endurance tesi 
neatly performed. The photography is good. 

AN UP-TO-DATE ELOPEMENT. Pathe. Com 
edy. Length 525 ft. Released Aug. 7. 
This French production Is marked by novelt 
in stage apparatus and scenic effects, it 1 
acrobatic and extremely comical m action an 
is sure to produce laughs. The elopement tak. 
place In an automobile of almost iniposail^ 
construction and also In a balloon of very novc 
invention. The events follow each other in onto 
of their absurd ness. each one being mote al ' 
surd than the one preceding. 

THE CLOWN'S BEST PERFORMANCE. V1JI 
graph. Drama. Length 801 ft, 
leased Aug. 1. 

This little play is right In line with 
Vitagraph productions as regards eiinplicit! 
moral tone, etc., but surpasses all others i 
plausibility and strength. The theme Is the ii 
tachment of a small boy to the clown he hi 
seen at a circus performance and the savior 
of the former's life by bringing the clown im 
the sickroom when all other methe.de to get tin 
boy to cheer up and exert himself had faii^ 
Tbe circus scene at the opening of the play ■ 
well put on and introduces all that Is necee 
sary to the story. The later scenes, plcturit 
the sick child and the endeavors of the fame 
to' allay his suffering and later to save his 11' 
are well put on and show remarkable acting « 
the part of the child and careful work by t- 
others. The story, while novel. Is very Use. 
of occurrence and might be said to be edu» 
UonaL 

CHRISTIAN AND MOOR. Edison. Drain 
Length 1,000 ft. Released Aug. 1. 
This very much overdone production has '•• 

Its foundation a plot which is folly equal! 
the average photoplay plot but it Is not e> 
veloped In exactly a logical or natural mas" 
while the resulting play la produced with « 
costuming, scenery and ceremony Intended 
enhance It with dignity and seriousness »' 
which is so much overdone as to become rtj 
diculous In certain places. The theme is « 
Christian Knight falling in love with the Mo 
lsh princess and causing her to break a trei 
which her father had lust made with the Cat 
Mans and thereby begin a battle in which • 
i brlstlan lover la, of course, victorious. A 
r. view of foolish customs Is always tiresome 
this is what occurs here. Aside from this 
production is possessed of merit and it is 
well photographed. 

A FAIR EXCHANGE, Sellg. Drama. Vat 
1,000 ft. . Released Aug. 7. 

Like so many previous Sellg productions t 
one bears the mark of a clever plot and caie; 
direction. While a somewhat complicated P 
is the basis of the story the production Is >' 
perfectly clear and In so far as is pof 
the play la gotten over by the actions of 
actors and only such parts are explained 
the screen as could absolutely not be made o> 
otherwise. While there ore some chase f, 
and hold-ups the play does not partake ol 
elements of an ordinary Western play UU 'L_

PUBLISHING SIRENE NUMBERS. 



New York. August 12 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — The moot Important musical production 
announcement for next season Is that coming 
from the Frohman office, stating that be will 
present 3Ir. Donald Brian In the great Viennese 
success, The -SIrene (La SIxenc). 

This opera was first produced January 5. 
1911, at the Johann Strauss Theatre, Vienna, 
under the personal direction of the composer, 
Leo Fait, and the reception It received was 
simply unprecedented. 

Americans may look forward to an unusual 
treat In The SIrene when It opens at the Knick- 
«rbocker Theatre, Sew York, on August 28, 
1911. with an extraordinary cast. Including be- 
sides Mr. Donald Brian, charming Julia Sander- 
son, all the principal members of the Dollar 
Princess company, also Frank Moulin and others 
of equal prominence. 

The music of The SIrene consists of a 
number of delightful songs, duets and terzets, 
far surpassing anything previously done by the 
famous composer, Leo Fall. The publication of 
all the music Is In the hands of Jos. W. Stern 
A Co. 



HAVILAND NUMBER A WINNER. 



New York. Aug. 10 (Special to The Blll-

-ivv' STE RN & CO. 

One of the big features of the Whirl of 
Mirth Co. this season Is" Henry and Bryan's 
novelty comedy song, I Like the Bat. I Like 
the Dress, which Is being used as an ensemble 
number by the entire' company. 

Freeman and Dunham are on the Sullivan & 
Considine- Time. They are Rinsing MacDonald 
and. Walker's Mississippi Dippy Dip as a 
double number, and have added a new comedy 
song entitled I'll Start A Little Nation of My 
Own, by the' same composers. • 

Fred Jennings, the character comedian, whose 
act. The Nine Daffydils, was seen in vaudeville 
last season, is doing a single turn daring the

to the End of the -World. 

George Scott, in character changes and songs, 
nas placed Lewis and ' Bennett's talking eong. 
My! What a Fnnny Little World This Is, among

ing Doyle's Time, has just started to use 
laughing Eyes, My Omaha, and says it is the 
real Indian song- — and Newata knows.

T. M. A. News 



CHAS. SCHW EITZE R'S VERSION. 

Cincinnati, O., Aug. 9, 1911. 
Editor The Billboard. 
Cincinnati, -Ohio. 
Dear Sir: — In the Issue of a New York vaude- 
ville paper I read an unofficial statement In 
regard to the T. M. A. Convention held at 
Wheeling. There is absolutely no truth in 
■the article which I, as a grand lodge member 
am In a position to prove. I do not believe that 
the paper in question Is to blame but that its 
informant, whoever he or she might be should 
have informed himself with the true facts and 
have stated matters as they really existed. 
The meetings and election, of officers was con- 
-ducted in ' a very harmonious manner and I feel 
■secure in saying that there was not any feeling 
but good fellowship between the candidates for 
-the several offices. The allegation that the Cin- 
cinnati delegate demanded a certain paper as 
Its official paper Is untrue, as no Cincinnati 
delegate demanded anything. There were a suf- 
ficient number of intelligent men present to 
prevent any man to Influence members to do 
-anything that would not be to the benefit of the 
Association. As 1 said before, the paper in 
-question must have been misinformed and had 
no Intention of casting reflections on anyone 
-personally. 

Kindly- publish, this letter as soon as possible 
■so as to set the T. M. A-'s right before the 
jmblic and the press. 

Yours ve ry truly.

PRESIDENT QUIGL EY REPLIES. 

Memphis, Tepn., Aug. .8, 1911. 
Editor The Billboard, 

My Dear Sir: — In reading the July 29 edi- 
tion, of - a' well-known vaudeville paper published 
In New York. 1 read with a great deal of regret 
a mis-statement of facts in connection with 
the T. -M. A; Convention held : -at>iW*eeUngr;'W.i 
Vs.. July 10-15. 



I sincerely hope that this paper in question 
will deny its report in their next edition, as 
having come to them unofficially, as I brand 
the statements absolute falsehoods. The meet- 
ing and election of officers at Wheeling was con- 
ducted along the most harmonious lines. Of 
course during the course of our deliberations {be 
different members debated on the motions, 
amendments and resolutions as they came up, 
and tried in every fair way to carry their point 
the same as is done In all deliberative bodies. 
But there was no friction of any kind. • As to 
the "monarchs of the Round Table" that sounds 
verv much like the utterance of some disgruntled 
member who has possibly been on the wrong 
side, and has not quite gotten over It. Ab- 
solntly no man or set of men do control, or will 
ever control this organization. 

In regard to separating the offices of secretary 
and treasurer it Is absolutely ridiculous as 
they were formerly separate, but to expedite 
matters and to eliminate unneccesary delays 
In dispatching lodge duties, they were combined. 
I do not believe that these offices will ever again 
be divorced. 

In regard to the convention desiring to pass 
a resolution that no man could be eligible to 
the Grand Presidency unless he served a -term 
as delegate to the Grand Lodge is also false, 
as the resolution (which was put In, but after- 
wards on my advice withdrawn) was: that a 
man had to make himself eligible by being a 
Grand Lodge member, and to be a Grand Lodge 
member it was necessary to have 'held at some 
period a Grand Lodge office, as the mere fact of 
being a delegate from a local lodge to the 
Grand Lodge Convention does not make one a 
Grand Lodge member unless elected at some 
time to a Grand Lodge office. 

I - do not know of any . organization In . the 
country where a man that has never held a 
grand lodge office or ever been a delegate before 
had a right to aspire to the highest position 
in the power of the organization to bestow, on 
his first -attendance at the Ovand Lodge. 

Concerning* the contest for an official organ, 
there, were arguments by friends of several 
papers, 'snowlngt the relative fitness of each and 
explanations 4Xi tt>c reasons why each' thought 



the paper he was recommending the best to se- 
lect. 

In conclusion I wish to say that the hap- 
penings of the T. M. A. Convention were for 
T. M. A.'s and their associations, and not to 
be used as the basis of a newspaper controversy. 
1 am therefore loath to discuss them further.' 
but I ask The Billboard to kindly give this let- 
ter a prominent position, for which I extend 
my sincere thanks in advance. I believe: in 
fact I am positive. - that the paper carrying the 
article, "A Stormy T. M. A. Convention." docs 
not wish to injure us or mis-state anything, 
and I also want to set- matters right for. the 
public. -.-•■ 

Thanking you In advance for the favor. I re- 
main, Respectfully yours, 
(Signed) JAMES J. QUIGLEY. 

Grand President. 



JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MEET. 



St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 12 (Special to The Bill- 
board).— The Judiciary Committee appointed by 
the recent convention of the Theatrical Me- 
chanical Association at Wheeling, W. Va., for 
the purpose of revising the constitution, began 
their sessions In St. Louis, Aug. 7, at the 
Southern Hotel, and will remain In continuous 
session until their work is finished. The com- 
mittee consists of Mr. Frank D. Fox of Peoria, 
III., and Mr. Arthur DeArmond of Knoxville, 
Tenn. On account of the vast amount of work 
before the committee, It was impossible to make 
a report at this date, other than that the gen- 
tlemen have encountered some of St, Louis' 
hottest weather. The committee was pleasantly 
surprised by the ' arrival of Brother Albert 
i Alias Dutch) Fanz of Knoxville, Tenn., who 
Just came down to spend a few days and make 
the committee feel at home. The committee 
was entertained by Dutch "at Forest Park High- 
lands, August 9, and they claim that he is a 
prince at the entertaining business. It. might 

be ' here said that The .-Billboard' correspondent

Resume of the Week's Important Amuse 



PHILADELPHIA, PA. 

All preparations for ushering in the theatre 
season of 1911-12 are being completed, and an- 
other week, or little mere, will find the popular- 
priced vaudeville theatres and burlesque houses, 
which have been closed during the bot weather, 
open again for business. Labor Day will mark 
the opening of a onmber of higher class bouses. 

One of the important early productions In the 
line of the new attractions will be The Quaker 
Girl, which will open the Benson at the Garrick 
Theatre on September 4. On the same date the 
Forre=*t. Walnut and Grand Opera Boose will 
open, for the winter run. 

To tbe Forrest comes Truly Sbattuck. In Alma 
Wo Wobnst Du2 while Edgar Selwyn will open 
the historic Walnut, playing the principal role 
la The Arab, a pla- written by himself. 

The flrst offering at the Grand Opera House 
will be The Soul Kiss. The Shnbert houses 
will open early in September, but with what at- 
tractions can not at this time be learned. The 
aristocratic South Broad Street Theatre will re- 
main closed until October, when It is likely 
that one of the Charles Frohman stars will be 
tbe opening attraction. 

The National, the home of melodrama, beat 
all the smaller houses to the season's opening 
by beginning its regular season August 5, 
with A Fugitive From Justice. Tbe Trocadero 
Theatre opened August 12, with The Tiger Lll- 
lies. 

The Empire, formerly the Park, will open 
August 19, offering Western Wheel burlesque 
also. Tbe Big Review, with Miss Frankie 
Heath, will Inaugurate burlesque In this house. 

Everything Is in readiness for the opening of 
the burlesque season at the Casino with offer- 
ings of the Eastern Wheel. Hnrtig & Seamon 
will present Tbe Taxi Girls. August 19 is 
the date for this opening. 

The Gayety. where stock burlesque has been 
running all summer, will change over to the 
regular Eastern Wheel attractions on the fol- 
lowing Monday, with Bobie's Knickerbockers 
first on the list. This will be the first season of 
burlesque here with four theatres, the Empire 
being the new one and the Western Wheel form- 
erly represented only by tbe Trocadero. 

The William Fenn will continue with higb- 
class vaudeville, and is dne to open August 21. 
The Nixon, West Philadelphia vaudeville house, 
opened August 14, after a brief recess. 

The past week recorded good business in the 
houses which braved the disastrous sizzling 
summer, and the apparent anxiety of large 
audiences to be amused Is highly encouraging 
for the rapidly approaching season. 

The week of August 14 wjll be farewell week 
in the Grand Opera House. After the most suc- 
cessful season the theatre has ever bad it will 
close for two weeks on August 19, to prepare 
for the fall and winter season. 

B. J- Buckley has Instigated a new regime. 
In as much as be has issued thousands of en- 
graved invitations to the prominent citizens 
of Philadelphia, including tbe mayor and all 
other prominent city officials, to attend the 
Initial performance at the Empire Theatre, 
formerly the Park, to inaugurate Western 
Wheel burlesque there. 

On August 18, tbe night before the regular 
opening the guests will assemble at the play- 
bouse to witness a fnll-dress rehearsal of the 
Big Review Show. For the first time in the 
history of the theatre the box-offices will be 
open, but no money will be accepted for admis- 
sion, and only those bearing invitations will be 
admitted. 

The object of tbe affair is to convince all 
tbe citizens of this city that all shows produced 
at this house will be of a character devoid of 
all characteristics formerly produced in bur- 
lesque. 

J. E. Allien, known the world over as "Pop," 
was in Philadelphia all week busy in prepara- 
tion for the opening night. The flrst visit he 
made after arriving from New York was to 
The Billboard representative here, and spent 
an afternoon in reminiscences of the "good old 
dsvs when. 1 heat Tody Hamilton to It." "Pop" 
still demonstrates that be is young In age, but 
prehistoric in experience In the publicity field. 

Miss Myra Dnmont Rnshton. formerly billed 
as Tbe Miniature Lillian Russell, has left 
Philadelphia for rehearsals with Miss New York 
Jr.. a new Western Wheel burlesque production. 
Miss Rnshton who has been on* the stage Tor 
more than three years, will appear In the olio 
singing That Old Familiar Strain, and plays the 
part of a Western widow in the burlesque.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. 



U a meeting of the White Bate Actors' 
Ciilnu held August 3, a resolution was voted 
on mill passed, "Not to play any more one-day 
stauda In San Francisco." No contract tor 
than three days will be accepted by any 
uii-iaber of the White Bats. This came about 
from the fact that several five-cent theatres 
here have been changing their vaudeville acta 
ilallv which resulted In many Inconveniences 
to performers. This will make matters better 
for the booking agents, managers and actors, 
n« a split week In a large city like San Fran- 
cisco Is little enough. A number of houser 
here Bill, in a short time, appreciate the above 
move. ai> they were changing dally and soon 
lan out of talent, forcing them to play re- 
mits very frequently. 

Ackerman & Harris have added another bouse 
to their chain of popular-priced theatres. The 
Alcazar Theatre, on Sutter and Stelner Streets, 
conies Into their possession as soon as the new 
Alcazar on O'Farrell Street is completed. Nov- 
ember Is the scheduled time for completion. 
This, with the Garrick, Majestic, now building 
ou .Mission Street, and the Alcaiar will give 
them three theatres In San Francisco. 

Our friend, Paul D. Howse, was a Billboard 
visitor. Mr. Howse came from Ocean Park, 
where he Is Interested In several concessions, 
principally the Baby Incubators, which he re- 
ports Is doing a splendid business. He re- 
cently completed the construction of the Grand 
Canyon, a scenic railroad for the Frazer Million 
Dollar Pier Co. and it Is proving a big money- 
getter. The Illuminated living volcano Is one 
of the sights of the Beach. 

Charles V. Kavanagh has established an office 
here iu the Grant Building for the purpose of 
handling the Ferris Harrman enterprises. 

Arthur Don, a former vaudevile performer, 
and lately connected with a booking agency 
located In Los Angeles, did a very peculiar 
stunt in San Francisco last week. Don opened 
an office in the building located at tbe corner 
of Powell and Ellis Streets, advertising him- 
self ns an Independent agent. Two days later 
he moved to the Westbank Building, where he 
oi-enpied two offices on the seventh floor. Three 
days later the offices were closed and rumor 
says he returned to Los Angeles. 

Mile. Mina Mtnar, featured in the principal 
role of The Darling of Paris, which played a 
two weeks' engagement at the Orpheum, was 
confined to her bed with a severe case of pto- 
maine poisoning, cansed by eating mussels. An 
tin-Ierstudy was necessary to keep the act play- 
ing. She was ' able to get out after seven 
days and recovered sufficiently to resume her 
role.

oat some original and clever lithographs, which 
have been posted very liberally In San Fran- 
cisco. The management are very much en- 
couraged with the Frisco patronage this sea-

considerable increase over last season. The 
publicity manager. Mr. Norwood, never falls 
to keep Idora Park to the front.

there are always many late-comers at all the 
then Ires, who nrrlve during the progression 
or the first act. The other theatres have not 
cite,! their attitude, but will probably take 
sides with Messrs. Scott and Hays. The thea- 
tres recommend that the mayor extend the clos- 
imr; liquor service time to 12:00 p. m. If he

that the park Is conducted In a loose and disor- 
derly manner. 

Mayor Haynes announced that he would not 
revoke the license issued to the proprietor. A- 
Dworsky, but that be would detail more of- 
ficers to preserve law and order In the park. 
If the petitioners so desired. Objections were 
offered by residents of the North Side when the 
license was granted, but as Mjr. Dworsky 
claimed to have already spent considerable 
money In fixing up the park, the committee 
granted the license with a caution that it 
might be revoked if objectionable methods were 
used In tbe operation of the park. The main 
attraction at this park Is a moving picture

CARN IVAL NEWS 

Francis Ferari Launches Wild Animal Arena Unrivaled in 
Annals of Carnival Business— Notes from the Great Pat- 
terson and Greater United Shows— Carnival News 



FERARI TRAIN ED A NIMAL ARENA 

By GEORGE L. MACFABXANE. 

After two weeks of night and day work on 
the part of painters, carpenters and decorator*}, 
the new animal show owned by Col. Francis 
Ferari now Is In a condition to give tbe pub- 
lic it treat and to cause near-managers anil 
producers to gasp In astonishment. Never in 
the history of tbe animal show business has 
there been a traveling organization with an 
<i|iiI[.nH'nt so pretentious and complete; never 
has a traveling animal snow offered a more 
varied program, or presented a finer collection 
of Jungle beasts for exhibition. And in making 

this statement there are no reservations, for 

I have seen them all and have been associ- 
ated with many. 

The secret of It may be that the Colonel, 
with a shrewdness which is a component part 
of astute showmanship, took a good look around 
and profited by the experience of others be- 
fore launching his own venture. Col. Ferari 
left these shores on September last, and for 
fix months traveled over England and the 
Continent, inspecting the various carnival com- 
panies and visiting the big street fairs of 
Berlin, Paris. Turin, Rome and other cities, 
in which they are produced like miniature 
world's exhibitions. Col. Ferari discovered that 
the most Imposing and Impressive features of 
the new t# carnival architecture" (If the term 
may be used to distinguish between the rag 
fronts that have been and that which will 
have to be to spell carnival success in the fu- 
ture) were massive organ fronts. 

Returning to this country. Col. Ferari or- 
dered a handsome hand-carved wood, 80-foot 
front. From A. Bernl, the American agent of 
Gavioll of Paris, the Colonel ordered the largest 
organ ever made for exhibition purposes. It 
Is 40 feet In lengtb, ami requires the services 
of a Ave horse-power motor to operate. 

There Is no reason to dwell upon a descrip- 
tion of the massive carvings of the front, but 
the panels and fresco work undoubtedly will 
attract more than passing attention. They were 
painted for Col. . Ferari by Alfred Smith, a 
member of the Royal Academy, and the fore- 
most animal artist of England. 

In his arttatic efforts the Colonel certainly 
was not a piker. ' 

Back of this front la a eeventy-foot round 
top with a sixty-foot middleplece. Along one 
side are eighteen-foot dens, with a twenty-four- 
foot arena In the center. On the opposite side 
there are loges seating four In each, chairs and 
high-backed circus seats, giving a total capac- 
ity of 1,000. In the dens are a few animals 
for exhibition purposes only and a big collec- 
tion for practical work. 

Chief among these are the nine lions worked 
l>.v Capt. Peter Taylor, who also does an "u.- 
tamable" act that is a revelation to the ani- 
mal men with old-fashioned ideas. Princess 
Pauline works a Sumatra tiger, usually con- 
sidered unconquerable. In a tight-rope walking 
act. and will continue this even after a new 
sroup of leopards have arrived. Capt. "Dick" 
Boss and his four bears. Prof. Tom Collins and 
bis boxing kangaroo fill out the present pro- 
gram, but additional acts will be on tbe bill 
by the time this reaches the presses. 

The roster of the staff assisting Col. Ferari 
to look after things around the show shop Is: 
"Win. Noonan, treasurer: C. H. (Doc) Stearns, 
talker: Jack Koster. boss canvasman; Jack 
G'Bricn. seat man: Pick Miller.. properties: Leon 
■Sotsman, organist; George L. Somebody, press 
agent. 



the ■ regular trains, brought thousands of out- 
of-town visitors to the city. Everybody had 
all the business that could be bandied all 
during the week. Fair weather prevailed at 
all times and it will go down as one of the 
largest week's business of the season. 

This week the Great Patterson Shows are fur- 
nishing the amusements for the big annual 
Cape Girardeau County -Home-Comlug at Jack- 
aon. Mo., and reports from there say that busi- 
ness is large. 

GREATER UNITED SHOW NOTES. 

By TOM NORTH. 



In writing the general story of the Greater 
United Shows in last week's issue of The Bill- 
board I omitted tbe mentioning of Hamilton's 
Congress of Wonders and an apology is due Mr. 
Hamilton and I hereby hand same to him. Mr. 
Hamilton's Shows are the largest and best with 
any earnlval company, ■ bar none. His princi- 
pal feature, Jane, the Witch, Is the best 
freak in the show business. Sean, the bush 
woman, is a close second. Decaill, the miniature 
woman with a fondness for musicians, who ean

nished the principal attractions for the" 'big 
Free Street Fair and Homecoming held at Taylor- 
ville. 111., July 31-August 5, under the aus- 
pices of the Retail Merchants' Association. The 
shows- did an immense business and all "business 
houses and public buildings were handsomely 
decorated. Prof. Leo Earl, who did the high 
wire act in electric harness, nslng sixteen elec- 
tric globes of sixteen candle power, all strung 
over his body and limbs, furnished the prin- 
cipal free attraction. Prof W. H. Laptad made 
a successful balloon ascension each day, and 
Prof. H. H. Crawford also did a slide for life 
across the public square- every day. Mr. Pat- 
terson had several misfortunes this season. At 
Superior, Wis., a few weeks ago, he lost two 
of bis herd of four performing elephants of in- 
fluenza, and he bas another one suffering from 
tbe same disease. At Lafayette, Ind.. be lost

A GROUP OF OLD-TIMERS. 



GREAT PATTERSON SHOW NOTES- 

Fourth of July week at Laurimn. Mich., was 
one of the largest week's business that it has 
ever been the good fortune of the Great Pat- 
terson Shows to play. Business was good there 
all during the week, in spite of some cold and 
rainy weather that, ordinarily, would hurt 
the outdoor amusement business. 

Green Bay, Wis., was our uext stop, at which 
Jilace wo furnished the attractions for the big 
carnival of the I.oyal Order of Moose. It was 
number week of good business. More cold 
weather was experienced here and -this second 
void spell resulted In two of the Patterson herd 
« elephants. Jumbo and Lola, being tnken sick. 
The best of vet-rlnary service was rendered 
with partial success. On Saturday of the week 
Lola passed to the elephant's "great beyond." 
Jumho showed no signs of improvement, her 
condition being about the same as when first 
taken sick. 

Chicago Heights. III., was our next ston and 
h-re we furnished the attractions for the big 
Elks' Circus and Festival. Good weather and 
• a hustling crowd df boosters brought large busi- 
ness. Another elephant. Fanchon. was taken 
sick during the early part of the week and died 
V" Saturday, making the second one lost. Jum- 
bo was In -too bad a condition to rt-move from 
the elephant car. and Trainer Socastln and th» 
veterinarians were kept busy nil week between 
the grounds and the elephant's car at the sta- 
tion a mile away. 

La Fayette. Ind.. was our next stop, and 
there we furnished the amusement for the htg 
carnival of the Woodmen of the World, doing 
» irge business ail during the week. We 
were on a lot a mile from the business dis- 
trict, but . the people were given good street 
cur service and the result was that the grounds 
W'Te thronged every afternoon and evening 
or the week. Jumbo was still too sick to 
i>e rimovcd from the elephant car, but showed 
marked Improvement, and hopes were raised 
mr her recovery. On Saturday a reckless 
switching crew used a small amount of Judg- 
ment In going onto a sidetrack were the Pat- 
terson stock cars stood, and the result was that 
the poor sick beast was thrown and in the fall 
one of the tusk* was broken off. 

Taylorville. III., was our next stop, furntah- 
ng the attractions for the big annual free 
jjtreet fair and carnival of the Taylorville 
Merchants* > Association. • The event had been 
thoroughly advertised within a radius of fifty 
limes of Taylorville, and the special excursion 
trains that bad been arranged for, aa well aa 




The group of carntval and circus people pictured above will sail In September for England, 
where they are booked for a long tour. Reading from left to right they are: Lucille Wat- 
son, Billy Herbert, J. Watson Williamson, Mandena Herbert and Coco Herbert. The photo 
was taken In Roswell, New Mexico, while the troupe were playing vaudeville.

front Is 185 ft and. the depth 65 ft. with the 
specially, constructed - tubing that flash twelve 
Immense banners, lighted by twelve flaming arc 
lamps. Mr. Hamilton's show is without doubt 
the best and largest without any exception and 
much of his success Is due to his personality and 
genial manners.

high class and the racing was exceptionally 
exciting. The receipts this year from all sour- 
ces will enable the management to pay some 
of the indebtedness and begin in earnest for 
1912. E. E. Ferrel, the secretary, was a very 
busy man the entire, week. 

Bigger, stronger and better than ever, are 
the claims made by the Napoleon (Ohio) Fair 
Association. The dates are September 4, 5, 6, 
7 and 8.' This fair- last year broke all previ-

ning of tbe 27th.

JOSEPH MAYER REPLIES. 



New York, Aug. 3, 1911. 

Tbe Billboard, 

Cincinnati, Ohio. 

Gentlemen: — I notice in your Billboard Issue 
of July 29, under Circus Gossip, an article, 
entitled "Circus Programme Solicitors/' whlcH 
Is misleading and an injustice to tbe writer. 
■Whoever The Bill board Informant, „maj; he, 
seems* or pretends to know more of my business 
than I do myself. I would therefore like to 
give you the correct news of circus program 
solicitors, as it is possible that the article pub- 
lished was given to one of your representatives 
by a disgruntled former employee of mine, 
thinking he would do me some Injury. 

There was only one change of solicitors with 
the Barnnm & Bailey Show this year, the first 
man was doing good work, but was complied 
to return here on account of Illness. The so- 
licitor now with the Barnnm & Bailey Show. 
Elmer B<'iiny, is doing satisfactory work, and 
is straight, sober and reliable, and one of the 
best the undersigned ever employed. I have 
al«o -made one change with the Forepangh & 
Sells Show: the first man, who wais only a mere 
boy, was found- wanting; but the .solicitor who 
has taken his place. Arthur G> Moore..more than 
fills the bill and- is a first-class solicitor. Hay- 
man Mayer, 'who Is now in .-.advance of .the 
Bingling Bros.* Sbow, has been there all sea- 
son, with the execution of a couple of week* 
when he was indisposed- I consider him the 
King Pin of all solicitors. 

As far as it being costly for the publisher 
of the program, the undersigned »s going along 
aa he has been for the past 25 years; owes no- 
body, and feels able to take care of all con- 
tract- and pay all bills. 

I write this in justice to mvself and the 
solicitors who are now. in my employ. 

Tours very truly. 
(Signed) JOSEPH:. MAYER. 



"DOC" ADAMS A HERO. 



"Doc** Adams, with the advance of the 101 
Ranch "Wild West Show, convincing the mer- 
chants of the benefits to be derived from pro- 
gram advertising, Is modestly wearing the hero's 
laurels. "Doc" dofs not think be is a candi- 
date for Carnegie honors but just the same up 
in Indiana there Is a sweet little girl who will 
cross her heart and say that if it had not been 
for 4, Doc*s" courage she would be up with the 
angels now. Even on earth "Doc" thinks her 
an angel. 

It all came about in this way. "When the 
first car of the advance of the 101 Ranch Wild 
West Show was billing Marion, Ind., "Doc'* 
had not finished tbe town when the car left and 
decided to remain over to see one of the gentle- 
men we had "promised." "Doc" made his head- 
quarters at the Oyster Bay Hotel, and he had 
not been in his room but a very short time he- 
fore he was fast asleep. It was shortly after 
midnight when "Doc" was aroused to find the 
hotel on fire and tbe guests hurrying to every 
available exit. **Doc" believes that self-ures- 
ervation Is the first law of nature, but when he 
encountered a woman In the hall just on the 
verge of collapsing, he discarded this belief and 
his only thoughts were of petting her safely 
from the hotel, which was at this time a mass 
of flames. She swooned just as "Doc" -reached 
her, but he caught her and through the smoke 
and fire he battled as only an advertising so- 
licitor can battle, and carried her to .a, place of 
safety. It was sometime before either of them 
fully recovered from the inhalation of smoke 
and tbe heat that literally scorched them, hut 
when fully convinced that they were still on top

FRANK A. ROBBIN8' COMPLAINT. 



The Frunk A. Itobblns Shows hare complained 
of the treatment accorded them by tbe city 
officials of East Liverpool, O., and from the 
evidence submitted by Mr. Bobbins It appears 
that he bas a very good cause for complaint. 
On June 10 a license contract was signed by 
Mr. J. C. Johnston, City Clerk of Chester, 
crantlne tbe Frank A. Bobbins Shows tbe priv- 
ilege of showing at Chester on July 4. Permis- 
sion was also given by Mr. W. K. W. Crif- 
fln. Kcneral manager of the Trl-Stnte Railroad 
& Electric Company on Jane 10, to cross the K 
Liverpool bridge with circus equipment free of 
churirc. and it was mentioned in thla letter that 
the permission was granted on July 4, but 
that such movement must be under tbe direc- 
tion of the company's inspectors. On June 31 
Mr. Bobbins received a telegram to the effect 
that the City Council of Chester had revoked 
the permit, and he also received a wire from 
•Mr. Griffin on June IT, that he could not allow 
a circus to cross their bridge. Undaunted, Mr. 
Bobbins moved his show to Newell, W. Va., 
where he exhibited on a lot owned by tbe 
Newell Pottery Co. lie claims that this lot 
is easier of access than any other that can be 
used at E. Liverpool and that he would un- 
doubtedly have done capacity business bad tbe 
people known he was to play at Newell. As it 
was the show suffered by not being billed to 
piny on that lot.

'Coney Island, Cincinnati, Makes Extensive Preparations for 
the Celebration of Its Silver Jubilee — A Personal Talk on 
Brighton Beach, and Its Attaches — Other Park News 



CELEBRATE S SIL VER JUBILEE. 

Cincinnati. O., Aug- 12 (Special to The Bill- 

*rboard).— Coney Island, the local river resort, is 
planning for the biggest week in the history 

-of : its existence. The occasion will be the 
celebration of the Twenty-fifth Annual Festival, 

--Silver Jubilee. Home-Comlng and Harvest Home 
and Fair, which will open Sunday August 20. 

- A number of special days bave been arranged, 
such as city, county, state, etc. An evening 
has also been set aside for the entertainment of 
lodges, secret organizations- and orders. 

Amusement Manager J. E. Girard has booked 
as a feature attraction for the week. Herbert 

,, A. Kline's Monster 22-Show Carnival. There 
will also be a Mardl Gras and Masked Carni- 
val. Amateur Band Contest, Races, and a Baby 

•Show, the whole to wind-up Saturday evening, 
August 28, with a rorgeous display of flre- 

•• works.. ; 



IDLEWOOD REOPENS. 



Richmond, Va., Ang. 7 (Special to The Bill- 
~ board). — Idlewood Park, rebuilt and modernized, 
was opened Aug. 5, by the J. H. Livingston 
Company, Inc., which recently came into con- 
trol. Col. J. H. Livingston will personally 
manage the park. The new Idlewood has 
among Its attractions one of the handsomest and 
most up-to-date carousels in the Southern coun- 
try, a $15,000 machine Installed by William H. 
Dentzler of Philadelphia, and a very large 
roller coaster. 



Finke and bis brother. Harry D.. are its pro- 
prietors. These two boys spent four years at 
tbe Metropolitan Rink in official positions, and 
let it be understood thilt they know tboroughly 
the art of drawing and satisfying the crowds. 
Frank Corrado leads the band that wafts the 
music over the heads of the skaters and fur- 
nishes the strains which guide them in their 
skating. The instructors of this institution 
are John Mahoney. Nat Heller and Harry Wil- 
son. Chester Kingston is chief skate man, 
having held similar positions. In former years. 
Jack Gussig attends to the coat room, while 
Al Lambert. Eugene Fitzgerald and Solomon 
Levine demonstrate their speed at buckling on 
the skates. Tbe past week noticed the addi- 
tion of Edwards' Circus and tbe management of 
this concession will be -made note of in a sub- 
sequent issue. The new bathhouse-, which is 
owned and controlled by the Brighton Beach 
Development Co. itself, has a most remarkable 
feature ; to offer the public In night bathing. 
A large enclosure has been set aside and a pool 
constructed whereby, nnder the glimmer of elec- 
tric lights so bright as to rival the light of 
the sun, the patrons can. enjoy the snrf until 
10:30 in the evening. This Innovation has given 
Brighton Beach more enviable popularity than 
any recently devised scheme that any of the 
Coney resorts have put into operation. It might 
be remarked that the various colleges have 
furnished at least fifty per cent of the assis- 
tants that go to make np the 1011 group of 
employees that Brighton possesses. Among these 
"Is Fred Thompson, who has demonstrated his 
ability at the chairs on the beach. It is with 



WHEELING PARK, WHEELING, W. VA. 




This resort is one Of the finest in the state, considered not only as an amusement park, bnt for 
Ltts beautiful lawns, magnificent scenery and massive trees. It is the only successful park in 
* "Wheeling. 



"THE BOYS AT BRIGHTON BEACH. 



. Another Number of the New York Amusement 
Park Series. 



If there Is one enclosure of Coney Island 
that is alluring to 'New Yorkers and the many 
visitors who spend the spare time of their 

- summers in or near the metropolis. It is Brigh- 
ton Beach Park. Here it is that the famous 
hatWnp beach of the same name is located. 
It Is here that the longest and most daring 
ride In the world is constructed and Orlando 
Ha trim an may feel justly proud of being at 
the bead of so large and popular an enterprise. 

Brighton Beacb Is located a little distance 
'from that part of Surf Avenne where Luna 
Park, Steeplechase Park, resurrected Dreamland 

- and the contiguous concessions onerate. But 
snch are tbe natural and artificial attractions 
•of this recreation ground, that tbe concessioners 
are only too glad to take their stands and 

"luxe tbe many shekels from the crowd that 
pay homage to this resort. 

As one enters tbe park, the big bath bouse. 

* numerous beverage concessions, a vividly-painted 

* carnnsol and a scenic railway confront the eye, 
'while inside a very pleasant avenne of enter- 
tainment stretches down to the lowest part 
of the island. There are not as many con- 
cessioners in Brighton Beach as can be round 

* in either of the other sister parks in the 

- same vicmity. but those that are there are 
able to boast most justifiably of tbe profits 
that accrue to them. 

The Giant Safety Coaster speeds around un- 
der the management of T. P. Graham, who 
"lias surrounded himself with as efficient a corps 

- of assistants as any concessioner wonld wish. 

* The Hummer, a very popular- Brighton device. 
Is under the management of H". .E. Mayo. The 

"big casino and restaurant Is under the super- 
vision of £?.' Brawn, with L*. Amron In charge of

NEW YORK PARK NOTES. 



IiTJXA PARK. 

One of the features of Luna Park this sea' 
son is Zoe, the lady who does the iron- jaw- 
act and as the records show she has a well 
established reputation, one of the best in the 
business and has always been upheld. It is 
Interesting to note -that the management of tbe 
act is entrusted to a lady who not only attends 
to the managerial duties but also does tbe act. 

Come boys. Jack Wilson has made bis second 
opening and we must get busy. One of Harold 
Busch's sayings at the Motordrome. 

Mr. Con Comely, of Cole's Cafe, one of tbe 
great mixed drink dispensers, has returned from 
Chicago, where he is thinking of opening a cafe 
at the dose of the season. 

Mr. John O'Mara of Daffy Lane, left on Aug. 
8 to open with The Third Degree Company, play- 
ing: the Stair & Havlln Time, opening in Chi- 
cago tbe week of September 4. 

Bill Eckert, manager of The Witching Waves, 
reports business is good. He says he thinks it's 
because Fordle is out in front. 

Luna Park was overburdened with excursions 
last week, including the newsboys from Balti- 
more, Md., the Hosiery Workers from River- 
side, N. Y.. the Red Men from Stamford, 
Conn., and the Pastime A. C. from Sing Sing, 
N. Y. Everybody enjoyed themselves to their 
heart's content and also went the "limit." 

Manager Albert E. Trishaw, of the Cuckoo 
Clock, gave his audience several hearty laughs 
on August 3 by introducing a stunt from Lou- 
den, which made a hit. 

C. L. Earnhart. inventor pf the dial striker, 
at the close of Luna, will play the fairs, opening 
at Trenton. N. J., and then go to Cumberland, 
Md., and other fairs to follow. He has several 
contracts now on band. 

From a box-office standpoint, tbe Virginia 
Reel appears to be getting all the money this 
-season, beinjc among the greatest laughing rides 
on Coney Island nnder the able management of 
Louis Klrchhofr, who has been in tbe same 
capacity for the past three seasons. 

Between Wm. Byrne spieling on the Red Mill 
and Harry Tham on the Joy Ride It Is Impossi- 
ble to tell who makes the most noise. One has 
got a fog whistle and the other has got. a 
"base drum.".. Some bally -boo. _ \/

Many Trust exhibitors who attended the Nat- 
ional Convention of the Moving Picture Exhibitors' 
League of America at Cleveland last week had not

SALES COMPANY. 

(Contented from page 16.) 

A BOY'S BEST FRIEND. Imp. Drama. Fall 
length. Released August 14. 
This splendid little production Is founded 
on one oC the most sentimental and unnecessary 
themes known to dramatics and yet It la so 
carefully handled, that all disagreeable fea- 
tnres are removed and a clear, concise, praise- 
worthy result obtained. The leading part Is 
taken by a new member ot the Imp company, 
recently coming from the Edison stock company, 
and It Is well handled by him. The boy a 
beat friend Is his mother, and the play consists 
of a portrayal of the reason why. There Is 
•ufflclent excuse shown for the delineation of 
these reasons, so that the play lacks the crade- 
ness of so many others. There Is nothing es- 
pecially thrilling about the aim. hut It Is a 
logical, well-balanced one throughout. 

BEHTSB THE; TIMES. Imp. Drama. Full 
length. ' Released August IT. 

There Is a story running through this film, 
bat as far as any one subject Is concerned or 
any theme or plot, there is none to be found. 
It appears that the village minister was be- 
Und the times and was fired. The new and 
younger Incumbent proves Incapable and the 
Sid man -wins out In the end. Since almost 
ibytbinK win pass for a church scene, any- 
iMnFina everything happening there, the «cenes 
depicted here are easily worked up and have 
» natural appearance. A congregation made 
ip entirely it women looks quite natural and 
the director to to be credited, of course, with 
« wide scope of experience and observation. 
The play to "coantrined" and too simple to 
SeTvery amusing, while on the other hand. It 
U without any bad spots and there la nothing 
absolutely discreditable about U. 
COWBOY'S LOYALTY. Bison. Western dra- 
ma. Full length. 

Besides detailing a number of evrata which 
■how the loyalty of the particular cowboy here , 
li^aFahows many things of a foreign n« toe. 
bat aH seeming to have something to do with 
the tfotTTh? play begins with one of the 
characters a desperate woman and while nothing 
la done to her or by her to change iher. dto- 
position, the fday closes with her a subject of 
» ranch pityP and sympathy that the town 
aberlir lust can not serve a warrant on ner 
35#n* ner with murder. This Is a rather 
iSa^ccnrrence. and were there anything to 
warrant It. the play would, no doubt, be iu- 
Ser^V It Is of a different type from the 
ordinary cowboy picture entirely, none of the 
riding and outdoor scenes occurring. There 
Ullttle to praise In the production although, 
the plot excepted, there are no glaringly bad 
■pints 

THE TRAM DISPATCHER. Thanbonser. Dra- 
ma. Fun length. ' Released August 18. 
The rescue of a train from starting on a 
ran which would have meant death to many or 
It. naasensers. forms the central item in tms 
bW^t^SSng^Sd well-played Uttle drama 
Theboldlng «f the train Is accomplished by 
telegraphic dispatches sent by a girl who has 
Stobed a tejegraph pole for the Purpose of 
sending them. The act gains » t mnchjlMired 
Dosltiott for the girl and has other rewards. 
The scenes are staged along a real railroad 
w^rew possible and a clear, realistic produc- 
tion has resulted. While one of the simp er 
of this company's productions. It la likewise 
one of the best. 

THE waaw/n OF SEAS. American. Drama. 
N Full length. Released August IT. 

A cowboy play of a better character than 
the ordinary is presented here. The plot is not 
SepIylSldf but it is somewhat novel ano. not 
based noon sentiment to as great an extent 
as I? usnally the case Is Western productions. 
The Brail or Fear Is that stamped upon a 
child before his birth and which clings to 
him throughout the earlier years of his life 
and nntilremoved in a very peculiar manner. 
•The subject which is used here is a very In- 
terestogone7 The story itself Is well put 
together and presents one phase of the subject 
In a clear and concise manner. 

THE EDELWEISS. Eclair. Drama, SpUt reel. 

Release August 21- 
TMs pleasing little story Is put en with a 
decided European air. which means that It Is 
.mue oVSuon? in the matter of expression 
2nd a Uttle odd in situation although it to 
easily understood, and since It concerns the 
e^Stnteresting subject, a love affair. It Is 
mm to please. The character work of the 
*M Is especially pleasing, notwithstanding the 
Cact that she is given a very hard part to jplay. 
The scenic effect and the photography are items 
even the most casual observer could no' over- 
look, for the play Is staged In the mountains, 
and. in fact, built around the rugged scenery 
and obstacles in the way of easy transporta- 
tien. These scenes, so finely photographed, 
make pleasing ones to look upon. 
HOW CESEKA PROTECTS ITSELF ASAIHST 

STRIKES, Comedy. Same reel as The 

Edelweiss. 

By the means of trick photography the Cin- 
ema studio is made to appear as If working 
by supernatural power. The scenery assembles 
Itself tn proper places and even the costumes 
of the actors are seen to take their Places or 
their own accord. The Him is amusing be- 
cause of the way in which the stunts are 
performed, as wen as to see the peculiar scenes 
such as these, of course, are. 



THE COLONEL'S DAUGHTER. Rex. Drama. 

EuR length. Released August 17. 
1 The play here Is very Carefully plotted and 
very clearly produced. It Is the story of two 
rivals for the band of a girl, one playing fair 
and gaining ground, while the other concocts a 
trick to win favor for himself. The setting and 
scenery are very fine and the acting done with 
an air of refinement which is good to look upon. 
It Is played with a few people — only four prin- 
cipals— and the story's Intent Is easily seen from 
the action, subtitles aiding, however. The theme 
Is not entirely new, but is not one of the worn- 
out class by any means and In the form pre- 
sented here Is novel. 

TOTO'g LITTLE CART. Itala. Comedy. SpUt 
reel. Released August 17. 
A series of chase scenes are depicted here, 
none differing from the ordinary run of acro- 
batic comedy scenes as put on by this company. 

IS THE VALLEY OF VEEGE. Scenic Same 
reel as Toto's Little. Cart. 
Some very beautiful mountain and Italian vil- 
lage scenes are shown here clearly and dis- 
tinctly. Photographed from a railroad train as 
the train climbs np the side of a mountain, 
the evcrshiftlng scene presents varied and In- 
teresting vlewg -to the eye. The photography Is 
very good, especially In some scenes, ana the 
entire effect pleasing. . . 

■THE BABES TJT THE WOODS. Powers. Dra- 
ma. Full length. Released August 15. 
This production Is put on with much care In 
costuming and in the selection of . scenes and 
wonderfully well photographed. It is an old 
tale, only possible of happening in the sixteenth 
or seventeenth century, and as pnt on is pic- 
turesque but not highly dramatic. It Is some- 
what out of the line of the company's produc- 
tions, but Is, nevertheless, one of the best it 
has done. 

THE PARSON ADD THE BULLY. Nestor. 
Drama. Full length. Release August 30. 
The Idea of a prizefight to settle ecclesiastical 
troubles or the parson licking the bully to not 
a new theme, bnt it always tickles the religious 
folk and so will go well, no doubt, as presented 
here. The parson's .son is called upon to lick 
the bully who has' been the leader In breaking 
up the religions meetings the parson has tried 
to hold. The fight is agreed upon as a method 
of settling the trouble and a lively five-round 
bout occurs. In which the bully Is finally knocked 
out. The fight to good is parte and easily seen 
to be faked in other parts. It Is the main 
feature of the story, although the other scenes 
are very well played and possess an air of 
reality. ■ 

HANDS ACROSS THE CRADLE. Nestor. Dra- 
ma. Full length. Released August 16. 
The theme of the child peacemaker to used 
again here... with little new in the plot or 
setting. It is a simple story of two grand- 
parents being on the onts and being united by 
the grandchild, which does nothing bnt exist. 
The story is perhaps logical, bnt as produced is 
entirely too sentimental. It is well played at 
first, but the closing scene Is very much over- 
done and to many spectators will prove annoy- 
ing. The photography is very good and some 
of the better-played parts prove a source of 
much entertainment. 

A CHILD'S COURAGEOUS ACT. Lux. Drama. 
Split reel. Released August 18. 

It Is always interesting to see a Uttle child, 
especially a little girl, perform an act of daring 
and courage, so here Is presented an interesting 
theme, even If It to somewhat of an old one and 
produced alone rather matter-of-fact lines. The 
child prevents the wrecking of an express train 
by flagging it in time, and the foreign setting 
with the novel scenes Introduced proves inter- 
esting. The staging Is well done, a fact which 
adds to the Interest In the scenery itself, and 
the whole to well photographed. 

BILL TRIES TO HAKE BREAD. Comedy. 
Same reel as A Child's Courageous Act. 
Bill begins with the sheaf of wheat and 
within a few minutes' time has ground flour and 
is ready to mix np the dough. He gets into 
trouble with some of the neighbors and the 
bread Is never finished, although his comical 
way of making It has proved a sufficient source 
of humor. The film Is a comical one of ordinary 
merit. 



PATENTS COMPANY. 

(Continued from page 16.) 

FROM OUT THE SHADOW. Blograph. Dra- 
ma. Released August 3. 

This story Is built around an old theme, but 
one so evidently worthy of repetition that It ap- 
pears as almost a novelty. The careless wife 
who considers It her duty to attend to things at 
home to the result that her husband seeks com- 
panionship with mere prettily dressed and oth- 
erwise more attractive women Is the theme, 
while In this case it ends with the reconcilia- 
tion of the pair after the wife has waked up. 
The methods of waking her up and the ban 
scene where she wins back the admiration of 
her hnsband, are all done with much care, and 
the latter with much refinement. Some new 
faces and those often seen In high-class vaude- 
ville, appear on the screen, certainly to the ad- 
vantage of the production. 

THEIR ONLY SON. Sellg. Drama. Length, 
il.OOO feet. Released August 10. 
A very good story of false accusation Is here 
portrayed. It is staged in a very sumptuous 
manner and spendldly enacted throughout. The 
only son Is accused of stealing some money and 
is driven from home. The mystery surround- 
ing the disappearance of the money is cleared 
up some time after his father and mother 
have lost track of him. and when it to 
cleared up and It Is Been the son is not to 
blame, they search for him and find him doing 
manual labor on board ship. There Is not a 
great deal of depth to the story, bnt It Is 
possible and natural and Is given a natural in- 
terpretation, so goes well on the screen. 

BOB'S NEW SOB SHE. Lubln. Comedy. Length, 
600 feet. Released August 10. 
The film consists of the portrayal of a rather 
daring trick Bob plays on his wife In order 
to get away from home for an evening. The 
trick to a new one and it Is performed with 
much humor. The staging of the play to very 
finely done, pompons studio scenery being used and 
many real Indoor scenes shown. The photography 
Is good and. In aU, a well-gotten up little com- 
edy Is what the film presents. 

TENT VILLAGE. Comedy. Length, 400 feet. 
Same reel as Bob's New Scheme. 
A city dweller and his wife are here pic- 
tured trying to find rest and recreation at the 
seashore, being In a tent. Some unfortunate 
developments occur during their stay. aU of 
which make pretty good comedy. The scenes 
are well photographed, the clear view of the 
acting being much to the film's advantage. 



THE COLONEL'S SON. 
Length. 1,000 feet. 



Kalem. Bra ma. 
Released August 4. 



One of the best stories ever attempted by a 
motion picture concern Is here put on In such 
a careless way that the story Itself will 
perhaps be entirely misunderstood and certainly 
will lack In interest at the most important 
part. The Colonel's son is a coward and. be- 
sides, has been captured as a spy and Is to be 
shot. The Colonel wishes that his son siiail 
die bravely, even though he has been worths 
less and a coward all bis life, so tells him 
that the cartridges used at his shooting wiU 
be blanks and that the formality of the shoot- 
ing only win be gone through with. The aon 
Is then seen to approach his death with a 
light heart and all the semblance of bravery. 
The production here is splendidly done all the 
way up to this point and then the characters 
are kept In the background, the son's face en- 
tirely obscured from view and the shooting 
omitted. The most Important scenes are crowd- 
ed Into a few feet of film and the entire dra- 
matic effect lost. The film Is one of the best 
examples of bad direction on record* 

THE UNEXPECTED GIFT. Fathe. Drama. 
Released August 11. Length 456 feet. 
A rather foolish little story, highly senti- 
mental and very mnch put on, la what is pre- 
sen ted here. The film is a short one, and as 
such win get by without creating a great 
amount of adverse criticism, although it will 
not get much praise. 

IN CAKBODIA. Scenic. Length 354 feet. Same 
reel as The Unexpected Gift. 
A rather Interesting film for a scenic produc- 
tion. Is what to seen here, many of the industrial 
scenes which are Interspersed being of special 



THE EDISON 

PROJECTING 

KINETOSCOPE 



It is significant that almost invariably 
when an exhibitor discontinues one ma- 
chine and purchases another, his last 
choice is the Edison. Does this not prove 
that although his judgment may have been 
faulty originally, he has seen the error of 
bis ways and is convinced thatjthe only 
safe, economical and satisfactory way to 
operate a motion picture " theatre is to 
choouefa machine that has been consid- 
ered standard the world over ever since 
ts introduction fifteen or more years ago?

Model Kinetoscope, with outside revolv-

TTOIHY FISHING. Industrial. Length 185 feet. 
Same reel as In Cambodia. 

A very interesting film, but almost too abort 
to be termed an Industrial. . Part of the process 
of catcblng the fish Is sbown, and that nut Is 
very Interesting and well' photographed. 

THE 8FIBIT OF THE GORGE. Edison. Drama. 
Released August 11. Length 1,000 feet. 
An Interesting and picturesque Indian story 
Is what Is enacted here, but one so clouded In 
plot that it is almost impossible to see tbe con- 
nection between certain seta of scenes. The 
story Is a very plausible one, and shows tbe 
character and customs of the Indian In a natural 
and correct way. The parta are very well 
played, and the situations developed far more 
dramatic than Is the ordinary situation In Indian 
playa. The photography and scenic effects are 
splendid and tbe costuming well done. In all, 
the production la one of tbe best Indian ones 
on record, the Item of Its clearness being ex- 
cepted. 

THE DEATH OF EDWARD m. Vltagmph. 

Drama. Historical. Beleased August 5. 

Length 1,000 feet. 
There la some very splendid acting exhibited 
In this film on tbe part of tbe actor playing the 
King's part, and some very good work on the 
part of the lady be calls big only friend. Tbe 
production as an entirety, however, is so simple 
and contains so much of the same thing, being 
played with one scene only and with tbe King 
always tbe central figure, that It becomes very 
tiresome, and when ended leaves one disgusted 
for having spent the time In viewing so little. 
The producer of such a film must necessarily 
be one of some reputation, for ne only gets by 
with such a production on the strength of past 
ones. Every attempt bas been made to make the, 
film a notable one, for the scenery and costuming 
are well gotten up, and some good people are 
chosen to play tbe parts. 

THE TWO GUST MAN, Essanay. Beleased 
August S. Length 1,000 feet. 
A terribly long drawn out story, but one kept 
perfectly clear, is what Is presented In this 
thrilling Western production. A chain of con- 
nected events go to make up tbe story, few of 
them having much weight, but all put together 
forming an Interesting story. It is a story 
very characteristic of the West, and looks per- 
fectly possible of happening. Being well played 
it becomes interesting, although lacking In any 
central theme or without any one object being 
obtained. Tbe scenery Is appropriate, and in all 
a natural production bas been made. 

THE PHONEY RING. Sblax. Comedy. Be- 
leased August 16. Full length. 

This comedy is full of events which portray 
human nature very naturally, and for this fact 
1p a good show. It is one of that sort of playa 
which call for an unlimited amount of slang In 
conversation when presented on the legitimate 
stage, or. In other words. Is a display of first 
principles only, which display Is nearly always 
a humorous one. The director could have put 
many things into the play which would have 
been to Its and his credit and which are not 
put in, and at tbe same time many things occur 
which are unexpected and pleasing. The comedy 
Is not the best this company bas produced, but 
It is creditable and entertaining.

ACTS NEW TO CHICAGO. 

(Continued from page 13.) 

JAMES DIAXOND AND CLAEA NELSON. Nov- 
elty singing and dancing act. Majestic. 
Chicago. Eighth in nine act show. Time, 
25 minutes. In one. 
"Jimmy" Diamond and Clara Nelson can truly 
say, "Well, we knocked 'em cold." It's been a 
long time since such a spontaneous hit has ap- 
peared at the Majestic. Still, there is criticism 
br the opening. There's something missing, not 
enough life. But they seem to resemble a good 
horse or a gas engine. You've got to warm 'em 
up to make 'em go goad. There is no room for 
doubt, either, that when this clever team did get 
a start there was no stopping them. The entire act 
is delightfully novel and original, and in the 
Iatter part seems as near . perfection as could 
be imagined. Their one big sensational hit was 
at the close of their act, when they put over 
Alexander's Bagtime Band in a manner that 
fairly stooped the show on Monday afternoon, 
when they were billed sixth * on the program. 
Irene Franklin was' held off for 'ten minutes, and 
rt-sultantly Diamond and Nelson changed spots 
with Carson and Wiilard. who were next to 
closing., and appeared in eighth position for the 
balance of the week. 



A SCINTILLATING BILL. 

(Continued from page 13) 

Carson and WHlard were placed next to closing 
on Monday afternoon, but owing to the sensa 
tional hit made by Diamond and Nelson at the 
osiening performance they exchanged positions. 
Messrs. Carson and Wiilard are just aa funny 
as ever and the shift in position was In no way 
detrimental to their usual success. They ap- 
pear In a patter sketch called. The Dutch In China 
and the title of their, act alone is sufficient to 
evoke laughs. They both appear In Chinese 
costumes with their special drop depicting the 
great wall of China "vun of der sefen blun 
uers uf der voorld." One who knows these two 
popular comedians can almost imagine the rlcb 
comedy such a vehicle affords and can readily 
understand why they, proved the laugh hit of 
of the bill. 

By permission of Mr.* Lew Fields,- Irene Frank* 
tin is the headline attraction this week. She Is 
amilsted by that very clever pianist, Bert Green. 
Miss Franklin offers a repertoire of character 
songs in costume to suit the number. Her first 
was, I Don't Care What Becomes of Me, and 
was well put over. I Knew Her When Is a 
song done in the character of a Broadway chorna 
girl, and truly reminds one of Bose Stahl at her 
best. The third song. The Chambermaid was foil 
of funny lines, some of them a trifle coarse, such 
as. "1 kissed him not once, I kissed him twice. 
But Ohl my Gawd, he smelled so nice." The 
audience fairly yelled when Miss- -Franklin put 
this one over. "And he was so enthusiastic that 
when he kissed me, he broke as fine a frent 
tooth as ever held a pDIow slip." These and 
others were some of the references made con 
cernlng her acquaint an ce with a traveling max 
during her regime ss chambermaid. Other song- 
used to great advantage were: The Girl Fron 
Child*, in the part- of a waitress; Bringing TP. 
the Family, the little mother, also very nicely 
rendered; 1 1 Want to Be a Janitor's Child, a kid 
song that proved one of the hits of her repertoire. 
Miss Franklin held the stage thirty-five minutes. 

James Diamond and Clara Nelson, late com- 
edian and prima donna of Up and. Down Broadway 
were next to closing, and proved the snrprise-to- 
all hit of the entire bill. The act submitted by 
this clever duo Is reviewed on this page under 

New Acts. . 

Hassan Ben All's Arbasjh ' half score of clever 
acrobats and gymnasts, jfcose the show, and 
went very well. The act has been, seen here, 
several times before, and has always made good. 



he did Monday night, acknowledge his appre- 
ciation of the applause by one whoop after an- 
other. 

Yvette and Buth St. Denis followed him In the 
order named. BeiUnt and Arthur, playing their 
fifth week at Hammerstein's, burlesque Buth 
St. Denis, in their efforts they had the as- 
sistance of Lillian Gonne, Lew Brice and others 
of the School Days Company. The burlesque 
was below the standard of the usual Bedini and 
Arthur take-offs. Its resemblance to the or- 
iginal could hardly be recognized. 

Kramer and Spillane. acrobats, reviewed in 
the New Acts column, obtained approbation 
from those who remained in the house up to 
the time the act went on.

horse which she uses. The act Is easily one 
of the prettiest spectacular ones on the stage, 
while La Tltcomb sings with charm and life. 

Nat Wills gave his accustomed repertoire of 
songs and stories and added a new feature in 
the form of a song on topics of the day to 
the tune of Don't Wake Me Dp, I Am Dream- 
ing. He responded to the applause with only 
two encores, although called out many times 
to acknowledge bis appreciation of his recep- 
tion. 

He was followed by the De Tole Trio, who 
put on one of the neatest acrobatic and ath- 
letic acts ever seen at this house. Their 
costumes were spick and span and they worked 
together with wonderful symmetry and jrraee, 
displaying rare tests of strength, while eliminat- 
ins most of the spectacular features so often 
fonnd In this sort of act. A simple but grace- 
ful act was the substance of their offering, 
which was heartily welcomed.

music that swaying motion which the vaude- 
ville -audiences seem to like. At least, the 
Hammersteln audiences seemed to enjoy her 
turn, taking real appreciation applause as a 
criterion. 

RUTH ST. DENIS, in Hindoo Dances, The Cob- 
ra or Snake Charmer, and The Nautch; 
Hammerstein's; twelve minutes; full 
stage. 

For her third week's engagement at Ham- 
mersteln's. Miss St. Denis produced two dances 
new to Gotham, The titles are The Cobra or 
Snake Charmer and The Nautch. The scene 
■>f the first dance Is laid in India. Grouped 
about are a band of Singhalese who clatter in a 
language that is entirely foreign to the audi- 
ence. Miss St. Denis enters and begins her 
Snake Dance. The dance is a movement of the 
arms and bands rather than a rbythmatic syin- 
Iwlism demonstrated by use of the limbs. About 
five minutes is consumed in performing this 
irst number. The second dance is called The 
Nautch, an Interesting offering, which, however, 
has a finish that will never suit a vaudeville 
indience. Half of the Hammerstein audience 
apparently -failed to realize that the act is 
over and seemingly waited for more. Next 
•veek (her last week at the Roof) Miss St. 
Denis will present the same two dances she Is 
using at the present time. " '■:

ence was laughing almost incessantly. Not only 
can Rogers command attention, because of his 
dexterity with the lariat, but his constant flow 
of comedy, so nicely put over, Rogers most, as 



"CRAMER AND SPILLANE, Acrobats; Ham- 
mersteln's; ten minutes; open In one; 
close full stage. 

One unusually powerful fellow, who acts as 
nnderstander, and another well proportioned 
man, form the acrobatic team known as Kramer 
and Spillane. The nnderstander does some very 
difficult and clever acrobatic feats and stunts In 
hand balancing. One of the tricks is to have 
the nnderstander grasp the topmonnter by the 
feet and hold him upright in the air. By 
degrees the nnderstander works himself into a 
sitting posture and then lays flat on his back, 
stm holding the topmonnter's feet in his hands. 
"With his hands and shoulders to the floor he 
raises np the topmonnter until he is again stand- 
ig erect on the hands of the nnderstander. It 
* a difficult and remarkable trick. The finish 
's also sensational. The topmonnter mounts a 
datform from which he jumps on a net and 
ounds to the hands of the nnderstander, who is 
about ten feet away. The topmonnter is bal- 
anced until he is erect. The sensational feats 
lerformed by Kramer and Spillane should en- 
able them to -make good on any bill. 



PERTINENT PATTER.

-A new version of the playlet, A Wise Old 
Owl, is to be produced by Harry Holman and 
Company at Mr. Vernon, N. Y., on Monday.

ACTOR BURNED TO DEATH. 

(Continued from page 6.) 

1881. He appeared for a time In Yartoas parts 
with the Booth-Barrett Company. 

In 1804 he joined the Empire Stock Com- 
uany, aad for foor years played consplcuonS 
nrts in The Maaqueradcrs. A Man and HIS 
Wife, The Conquerors, etc., and In 1888 he 
played Lord Robert Ore In The Christian. In 
1901 be toured with Daniel Fronman's company 
In The Manoeuvers of Jane and Wheels Within 
Wheels. The next two yean be appeared at 
New York theatres Is Frocks and Frills and A 
Fool aad His Money. One of his best remem- 
bered recent appearances waa as a reporter la 
The Stolen Story. Subsequently be appeared aa 
Carroll Dempsey In The Man on the Case, and 
ib Mr. Bollett In The Blae Moose. Hla char- 
acter actlne waa generally regarded of a high 
eeality, and the "newspaper man" part was one 
of hla successful specialties. His last American 
appearance waa made In The Deep Parple. 

At the theatrical clubs the news of hla death 
ta London was received with shock. The actor 
was of an engaging personality and popular 
both with th e fraternity sad the pa bllc. 

THE KEITH-PROCTOR CASE. 

(Continued from page 10.) 

He was followed by Justice Morgan 1. O'Brien, 
who closed his argument, urging that the equit- 
able disposition of the property was by auction, 
the highest bidder to pay halt the amount to 
the other. Mr. Keith was not present at the 
forenoon session. 

Attorney W. F. 8. Hart, representing Proc- 
tor, read from the original contract between 
Messrs. Praetor and Keith, Is whieh the Fifth. 
Avenue Theatre property was transferred to the! 
Keith and Proctor corporation, and snowed that* 
at that time It was formally stated to be the 
property of Mr. Proctor. 

Mr. Hart laid particular stress est the fact 
that the cancellation clanse to which so much 
Importance was attached by the Keith counsel, 
did not necessarily provide for a new holder but 



merely for a higher rental. In detailing the In 
cldentn leading up to the Keith-Proctor combine, 
Mr. Hart read from a mass of correspondence to 
prove that Mr. Proctor never suspected Keith's 
ownership of the Fifth Avenne Theatre until 
a comparatively .recent date. 

The Keith forces contended that Proctor'a 
Interests In the Fifth Avenue Theatre had only 
ten months to run when the combination waa 
formed. Mr. Hart argued that it had one year 
and three months to run. and If on this ground 
It was proper to put It up at auction, the Union 
Square Theatre, put in by Keith, which bad 
but a two year lease with no privilege of re- 
newal, should be put np also. In the original 
partnership agreement he pointed out the Union 
Square Theatre had been put In by Keith, and 
the Fifth Avenue Theatre by Proctor. There- 
fore. Mr. Hart concluded, this should leave no 
doubt In the mind of the Court as to the actual 
ownership of the two theatres. . 

The decision of the Court will not be made for 
probably three weeks. 



MUSICIANS' DEMANDS THWARTED

by Its. Inventor to reproduce the Identical effect 
of an orchestra of sixty pieces. - It Is stated 
that the instruments mentioned have been used 
with great success, and should they, to the 
minds of the committee appointed, be entirely 
suitable and adequate to the needs of the 
theatre, they will doubtlessly be adopted at 
once by the managers. Should they not prove 
satisfactory, however, the Liszt organ will be 
the choice, as It has proved Its efficiency, not 
only In the theatres mentioned, but Is in use 
In musical societies, a number of transatlantic 
liners and many hotels and cafes about New 
York.

AVIATION IN FRANCE. 

(Continued from page 4) 

won. Toe prize was the frame of an aeroplane 
ready for the engine. Poor as Job's turkey, 
married, toe fattier of an interesting little ram- 
U- Panlban could J out about as easily purchase 
the Metropolitan Tower as he could that engine. 
The engine was what coat, and Faulhan felt 
like the chap with the automobile goggles who 
had everything but the automobile. 

Necessity la the prise article In the way of a 
sharp stick. Panlban exerted himself and af- 
ter canvassing the field -retry thoroughly, he 
added np bis figures and found that among about 
a dozen friends, fellow laborers at the Tolsin 
shops, he could raise the coin for the needed 
engine. And that'* what he did. He formed a 
sort of stock comnan- bought the engine and 
went on to Shelms. It was there I saw him 
Bake his debut, at the first real aviation meet In 
the history of the world. He won money though 
Us machine was not as satisfactory as It might 
have been. Still he copped ont ■ nice little 
pile, enough to declare a fine dividend among 
his stock holders. Also to liquidate the com- 
pany with a surplus for himself. He now 
connected np with Henry Farman. Billboard 
readers know the rest. He won the London 
Dally Hall's 150.000 prize for the first man to 
By from London to Manchester, beating Graham 
White, the English competitor by a handsome 
margin. He also won the Mall's prize for the 
biggest total mileage during the year 1910. He 
had already started manufacturing a biplane of 
his own design ever prior to this, and now 
like the Wrights, Blerlot, the Farman brothers. 
Soger Sommer and others, be files only to try 
sut bis own machines, never In competitions. 
He Is a rich man: not so rich as Rockefeller, 
perhaps, bat still a comfortably rich man. 
NO TOtJBS. 

To date, in France, there hare been no "tours" 
•f blrdmen such as those made by French air- 
men, the American Hotsant and others in 
America. Nor has there been as yet any ex- 
hibition flying. 

The reason for this state of things Is rather 
complex. In the first place France has no cir- 
cuses, no street fairs of the kind American 
towns know so welL Nor are there ever exhi- 
bitions corresponding to our "State Fairs" or 
.'■County Fairs." State and county fairs natur- 
ally bring to the front the latest thing In the 
way of thrillers, whether It be a tight-rope 
act, an old-fashioned hot-air balloon ascension, 
a double parachute leap, a dirigible airship or 
an aeroplane night. The absence of these fairs 
keeps back such exhibitions ss those I have 
mentioned. As for street fairs, there are plenty 
ef these In France, but they are run on entirely 
different lines from those In America and at- 
tractions such as one sees at American fairs 
are entirely lacking. 

"Why? I don't know? All I can say Is, 
that It'a • fact. It la also a fact that aeroplane 
meets here, got up and managed by municipali- 
ties under the general supervision of the Aer» 
Club de France, have never been a financial 
success. People come to see the flights but 
not -in sufficient number to make the meets pay. 
French people of the better class consider it al- 
most ■ disgrace ta pay real money for a seat 
at a theatre. Only the rabble, the great un- 
washed, the hot-pollol, bny admissions. It Is 
presumed tbat If a theatre has so many wires 
running Into It, esch pulling for free tickets, s 
elfrv would have proportionately more wires. 
All society would get free admissions or at best 
only a few would pay for , their seats In the 
grandstand. It la evident that the common 
people would, to a large extent, stay on the 
outside; for It Is the nature of the bird that 
an aeroplane in action can be seen well enough 
outside the enclosure. So meets here have been 
pretty much failures so far as financial returns 
tie concerned. 

This being so at aeroplane meets. It would 
bold good with equal force, or greater, at exhibi- 
tion flights given around the country. The 
Frenchman clings to a penny harder than an 
American sticks to his dollar, and he would 
look at a franc a long time before be would 
give it np to see from a plank seat Inside what 
Se could see standing outside, for nothing. It 
is perhaps for all these reasons that no one as 
yet baa done any exhibition flying In France. 

MANY AIRMEN. 

Four years ago one could count on the 
angers of their hands the aviators In France. 

Since pilots' licenses have been Issued by the 
Aero Club of France, 037 certificates have been 
given out, op to the date of writing. These 
certificates are given only to those aviators who 
hare passed successfully their examination and 
have down the required time and distance. Of 
this number, the Commission-Sportive of the 
Aero Club tells me, approximately 425 were 
frenchmen, the others representing pupils from 
the other countries of the world; and every 
civilized nation Is represented at the French 
schools — Germany. England. Russia. China, Bra- 
til. Japan, Chili. Belgium, Spain, Ecuador, Pern, 
•nd ;all the rest. Blerlot holds license No. 1. 

ADMIRE AMERICANS. 

.who have flown In the United 
States, comes back filled with wonder at the 
aerve and the excellence of American airmen. 
Hubert' Latham told me tbat he had never seen 
more wonderful flying than he saw In America. 
He believed there was too much recklessness. 
However. 

At the start of the European Circuit at Vin 
serines, July 18, Roland Garros, well known am] 
popular In the United States, got a bad start. 
He circled around and came back to the start- 
our line, grounding there. Naturally his mono- 
amine ran a! on" on the ground for some dis- 
tance, and since thousands of spectators were 
standing in that .part of the field. It looked 
u though he might dash Into the crowd. In- 
stead of this, however he maneuvered his 
aweblne ao that It described a perfect circle 
and brought tip on the exact spot for bis sec-

ond start. A shoot of enthusiasm went np 
from the crowd, but Prefect of Police Leplne, 
charged with keeping order on the field, among 
spectators and aviators alike, remembering the 
accident at Issy-les-Moullneaux when Minister 
of War Berteanx was killed and Premier Monls 
badly Injured, ran up to Garros: 

"Don't yon --- that again?" he commanded, 
"It's too dangerous." 

A few minntes later Garros got his second 
start. Again bis engine missed fire and again 
he performed the perfect circle. You would 
have thought the aeroplane an automobile so 
perfect was Garros' control of It on the ground. 
Leplne hadn't seen who It was doing this and he 
exclaimed: 

"Whoever Is doing that Is no aviator." 

"No," smiled a newspaper man standing near. 
"It's only Roland Garros." 

Leplne refused to allow him to start from 
the regular place assigned him and he had to 
"sneak off," so to speak, without the famous 
little police chief seeing him. As he was about 
to rise he remarked to the people around him: 

"It Leplne calls that dangerous, I wonder 
what he would say if be could see some of these 
American aviators pull off their stunts!" 

Latham voiced the opinion after his recent 
visit to America that when American aviator.* 
strike their pace they're going to cop the Gor- 
don Bennett Cup and then "the countries or 
Europe mav as well kiss it good-bye for It won't 
ever come back over here." 

This may be a bit too glowing but It serves 
to show that American airmen are regarded by 
the masters of the game over here as being 
absolutely without a superior. 



AVIATION IN GERMANY. 

(Continued from page 8.1 

by the foundation of associations, the aim of 
which was to promote and develop aviation In 
Germany. 

The highest point of excitement happened last 
fall when a Parisian paper, Le Journal, an- 
nounced that In connection with a Berlin paper. 
B. Z. am Mlttag, they were to organize an in- 
ternational flight, Paris-Berlln-Brussells-London 
and Paris. The B. Z. set a prize of 100,000 
marks to be distributed on the German side. 
All cities over which the aviators were to fly 
■ccepted the news enthusiastically and pledged 
themselves to help the flyers and to give them 
prizes. But on account of the jlngolst attitude 
of some Frenchmen and a rival paper the plan 
had to be given up. 

The impulsion was nevertheless given. The 

German moves slowly, but he Roes surely. Their 

helng cut off from the International race stirred 
the national pride. It was a direct slap on the 
face, and the result was quite contrary to what 
the French expected. The 100,000 mark prize 
was raised to 400,000. not Including the local 
prizes given by the cities on the circuit. The 
circuit itself was enlarged and the race was 
-nade a national, not International, competition. 
More than fifty aviators, all Germans, engaged 

liemselves to start on the long circuit of Berlin. 
?Tagdeburg. Schwertn. Hamburg. Kiel Lubecfc. 
Hanover, the whole of the Rhine cltleB. and 
then back to Berlin. The start was given at 
5 o'clock the morning of the Pentecost, at the 
lerodrome of Johannlstal. near Berlin. A crowd 
it nearly half a million people stormed the 
-ilace before sunrise. Tin now the aviators 
°iave reached Kiel, and for the first race the 
results are indeed surprising. 

Like all other nations. Germany has paid 
the price of progress with the death of more 
f nan half a dozen of her undaunted space con- 
merors. Neither death nor fear stops the for- 
ward march of progress. Nothing has passioned 
men so much as aviation, for aviation is the 
solution or the oldest and most exciting dream 
nf the ancient times. It Is captivating for fly- 

ns is light, gay and sunny, and It gives the 
Hlnslon of getting us nearer the heavens, which 
for ages, we have considered as only a divine 

IwelUng. 



AVIATION IN ENGLAND. 

(Continued from page 5.) 

point of view.' Is the absence of really good 
British aeroplane engines. Progress has cer- 
tainly been made, and one Just experimented 
with at Bristol has been highly spoken of. But 
so far none can compare with the reliability of 
the all-conquering, French-built "Gnome" mo- 
tor. The winning of several Important British 
prizes has in fact been delayed by the British 
engines available developing defects while In 
flight. The reason for this backwardness is on 
account of the English firms with great repu- 
tations being unwilling to spend any monev 
experimenting, while on the other hand, the de- 
signers of the Gnome motor spent considerably 
over $50,000 in preliminary experiments. Per- 
haps now that the British War Office and Ad- 
miralty have at last come to see that the dirigi- 
ble balloon is useless for warlike purposes as 
compared with the aeroplane, and are having 
the latter built wholesale. English manufactur- 
ers may think it worth their while to spend a 
little money In finding a good engine. 

Perhaps the most striking instance that the 
nlace that aviation has taken in the national 
life is the recent act of Parliament passed In 
regard to aviation. This act was passed to 
prevent any aviator flying near London during 
the Coronation festivities while the streets 
were crowded with people. Incidentally, the 
ict Is so framed that any home secretary could, 
it any moment, prohibit flying entirely. But 
It Is unlikely that such power would ever be 
need, except on special occasions like the recent 
one. 

In the way of flying grounds, the best we 

have at present la at Eastchureh. In the We 
of Sheppey. off the southeast coast of England. 
This, however.- can not be called a good one. 
Although only fifty miles from London. It I* 
ilmost as Inaccessible as thongb It were five 
hundred. A strong northeaster blows con- 
stantly, and trees, ditches and awkward hedges 
occur in all kinds of unwelcome places. The 
Aero C ub has spent a lot of money in level- 
ing the ground, hut it still leaves a great 
deal to be desired. Wilbur Wright has been 
at work here for some time, experimenting 
with a "Baby" Wright racer. whlch:AJex Ogil- 
vle Is to use today in the Gordon-Bennett race. 
Many Improvements have been Instituted, snd 
the engine Is a British one.- the N. E. C, which 
's of the unorthodox type, being on what Is 
known as the two-cycle principle. Wright hopes 
to win the race with this latest machine. 

The real aviation season starts here today. 
As soon as the Gordon-Bennett race Is finished 
competitors will., begin to go after the two 
?50.000 prizes offered by the, Dally Mall and 
several other very valuable onea offered by the 



Baron de Forrest. But accounts of these will 
be coming across to you by cable just about the 
time this will get Into print,' so It is useless 
for me to dwell on the prospects. But, alto- 
gether, aviation in England Is on the boom an,' 
although the country has been behind np t ■ 
now, British airmen hope, by the end of the 
season, to be leading the world.

The World, in commenting on the work of 
the co-stars, claims tbat a vaudeville atmo- 
sphere Is evident in their work, but also ack- 
nowledges the fact that same Is entirely to 
their credit, as it lends a tempo aud swing 
to the play that contributes materially to Its 
value. 

Alan Dale showers most praise on the work 
of the "Quakeress" star. In this one par- 
ticular all critics combined and Broadway .will 
not be long to show its appreciation for the 
dainty little feminine star that The Girl of 
My Dreams has brought along with it. The 
critic of the American stales that Leila Mcln- 
tyre soared above book and music and without 
working particularly hard either.

PALISADES PARK REVIEW 



What the Management Has Really Accomplished— Identity of the Various Conces- 
sionaires Who Have Contributed, Each His Modicum, M the - 
General Success of the Institution 



Nature tu been exceptionally kind to Pall- 
lades Amusement Park In many ways — and what 
sature bag or could not do. the Schenck Brothers 
hare done. Consequently, the pleasure grounds 
located on the big bluff overlooking the majes- 
tic Hudson and the apartment district of New 
York City, Is one of the most beautiful resorts 
that one can conceive. The timber on tbe 
Jersey heights Is so tall, so frondlf erons and so 
verdant, that- tbe very Image of the approach Is 
sufficient to pre-dlspose tbe recreation-seeker 
with a feeling of comfort, good will and sat- 
isfaction. Its verdure is only! one of Its assets — 
another Is Its height. As all of my readers re- 
call, In crossing the broad Hudson on the 130th 
Street Ferry, the resort seems to rest on tbe 
top of a veritable Mount Olympus, lofty and 
high above tbe riverbed. Its approach seems 
a most toilsome and arduous task, and one be- 
gins Immediately to picture mechanical hoists 
and elevating contrivances, such as the Incline 
planes In Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, necessary to 
reach tbe luring land. Surface cars wind In 
and ont and In a very brief and pleasurable 

rney of five minutes the entrance of the park 
reached. This height insures tbe resort 
■gainst torridlty and stifling calms and gives It 
the coolest and breeziest sephyrs that any park 
Immediately near New York possesses. 

This glacial-formed height affords tbe person 
standing on its crest a view up and down tbe 
Hudson River for many miles and also offers 
him a picture of tbe Harlem Blver section of 
the American metropolis. This Is a tremen- 
dous advantage. 

Still another wonderful asset Is Its proximity 
to so much of New York City and to tbe towns 
and cities in New Jersey, Surface cars cours- 
ing through the most scenic section of the 
mosquito state connect with all the Jersey 
towns along the river as well as many that lie 
quite a distance Inland. Then, too, tbe bulk 
of New York's amusement-attending citizens 
Uve In the vicinity of tbe Harlem Blver. Tbe 
park Is very accessible to these. Those on 
Washington Heights And no Inconvenience in 
making the Journey — In fact, everyone knows 
and goes to the Schenck . Brothers' openalr en- 
terprise. Its position on the rocky mount allows 
It to present a view of -panoramic splendor 
when the Palisades Amusement Park sign is 
electrically illuminated and when the f orris 
wheel, circle swing and carousels are whirling 
' in activity and operation. 

The plot of forty-fire acres la leased by 
tbe Schenck Brothers (Nicholas and Joseph, 
both of Marcus Loew connection) from the Pali- 
sades Bealty Co., of Pulton Street, New York 
City. It bas been operating as a park under 
their regime for tbe last three years. Nicholas 
Schenck Is its general manager. None other 
than our popular friend. Nellie Bevell, she who 
has been doing such effective publicity work 
during the cooler mouths for Percy G. Williams, 
fills the general press represcntativeshlp of the 
Palisades Institution, ably assisted by Arthur 
J. Keller. Charles Rand of tbe Palisades Realty 
Co. keeps careful tab on tbe treasury. 



Tbe park bas this year started a feature and 
innovation that has won it much patronage and 
increased clientele, by constructing a free nurs- 
ery where fatigued mothers can deposit their 
children in the hands of attentive nurses es- 
pecially provided for their care-taking. Miss 
Osgood is In charge of this department and 
has able assistants to amuse and ward tbe 
children while their parents can make tbe 
rounds of tbe pleasures unhampered. Thus, 
while the folks attend the opera, tbe youngsters 
are having a gala time playing with the toys 
and games In the nursery.

DISASTROUS PARK FIRES 

Conflagration Sweeps Over Cincinnati Amusement Resort and Destroys Property 
Valued at $100,600--Big Blaze at Medford, Mass., Park Completely 
Wipes Out Grand Stand, Causing a Loss of $25,000 

RECAPITULATION OF 1911 FIRES AT AMERICAN AMUSEMENT PARKS 



CHESTER PASS FIRE. 
A fir* which threatened for a while to destroy 
the en tire enclosure of Chester Park. Cincinnati's 
Xavurlts amusement resort, broke out about 5:30 
p. m., Monday. Angoat 14. The first reports 
stated that the entire park was consumed, but 
this was untrue. The vaudeville pavilion, scen- 
ic railway, tickler and part of the figure eight, 
as well as lunch stands and other smaller con- 
cessions were In the path of the flames, but the 
biggest part of the park was saved. The prop- 
erty loss Is estimated at $100,000. The opera 
house, clubhouse and the new derby racer were 
In imminent danger of being burned, but for- 
tunately the wind was very slight during the 
fire and the department succeeded In saving these 
buildings. The rear veranda of the clubhouse 
was badly scorched, however. All of the build- 
tugs in the fire zone faced the lake, and Immedi- 
ately on the morning following the fire. Col. 
Ike Martin, manager of the park, began re- 
moving the debris and reconstructing the board- 
walk along the lake. While no attempt will 
be made to rebuild the destroyed portion of 
Chester this season. Manager Martin Is eager to 
secure plans immediately. The Billboard win 
offer prises for the three best suggestions for 
rebuilding the park, foil details of which con- 
test an printed on another page of this issue. 
. 125.000 FIRE AT MEDFORD. 
Boston. Mass., August 14 (Special to The 
Billboard). — It is suspected that an incendiary 
Is responsible for the destruction or the palatial 
grandstand at Combination Park, Medford, Mass., 
which was horned on Saturday evening. August 
12. at 11 o'clock. The loss is estimated at 
925,000 and Is fully covered by Insurance. 

The firs was a very spectacular one and 
thousands of people from the surrounding sub- 
orbs and Boston witnessed the sight from the 
bills surrounding the park. Mr. George A. Graves 
is the owner and Mr. Chas. Lockwood manager. 

The grandstand was 100 feet deep, 276 feet 
long, 100 feet high, having a central tower 150 
feet In height and two other towers nearly as 
high. The seating capacity was 3,000 and It 
was one of the most finely-appointed In the 
country in its day. 

CONST ISLAND FIRES. 
The park season of 1911 will be long remem- 
bered by park proprietors and managers as one 
remarkable for Its disastrous Ores. While it 
Is Impossible to estimate the property loss with 
any degree of accuracy, it can safely be said 
that at least live million dollars were lost as 
• result of these conflagrations. The greatest 
destruction to an amusement park caused by fire 
since the holocaust that leveled the famous 
Steeplechase Park at Coney Island during the 
summer of 1907. was the devastating empyrosls 
which wiped out the magnificent Coney Island 
resort. Dreamland, on the morning of May 29. 
The extent of this conflagration was not con- 
£ned to Dreamland only, as many concessions on 
Surf Avenue were destroyed. 

For s time, after the first outbreak of the 
flames, the whole island seemed doomed. ' A 
fitful, shifting wind drove the fire first one way 
and then the other. Lack of water pressure 
necessitated the scattering of the fire-fighting 
force where the blazes were liveliest, and the 
constant shifting of engines and hose lines to 
meet new points of the name's attack, made 
concentration of effort impossible. 

After four hours of the hardest kind of work 
by practically all of the fire-fighting apparatus 
within striking distance of the Island, assisted 
by the private departments of Luna Park and 
I>reamland. which have been kept organized since 
they gave the Fire and Flames Show, they final- 
ly got the flames under control. 

Dreamland had been closed to the public about 
two hoars, when James Lillist a night watch- 
man, discovered the blaze in Hell Gate, a boat 
ride, which is Just Inside the 'entrance of the 
park on the right. Quickly the flames enveloped 



the surrounding buildings, which. Just coated 
with 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 the spectacle Creation 
on the north, and the' other between' Stenben- 
bord's and Stratum's hotels on the sonth. 

So rapidly did the flames shoot around, that 
the firemen were driven out of what later be- 
came a real circle of fire. They bad to content 
themselves with working from the outside. To 
offset the disadvantage of their not being able 
to get to the beach front of Dreamland or any 
of the other threatened places, were the three 
fireboats, Zophar Mills, New Yorker, and Seth 
Low. which steamed up at top speed on a 
telephone alarm from Captain Robinson. 

These, unaffected by the low water pressure, 
as they pumped the water right out of the 
ocean, saved part of the chutes and pier, and 
also flooded other buildings on the water front. 
Even their high-powered pumps were unable to 
do much toward checking the flames further in- 
shore. 



that the fire occurred at night after all visitors 
had left Dreamland, otherwise there might have 
been a tremendous toll of human life and every 
park In the country would have suffered from de- 
pletion of patronage, as the theatres did after 
the Iroquois Theatre fire in Chicago. 

The origin of the fire is a mystery. One 
theory is that a kettle of tar. with which 
several workmen were tarring the roof of one of 
the concessions in Dreamland was upset and 
gave Inception to a blaze which soon got beyond 
control. This rumor Is corroborated by a local 
apothecary, who says that a few minutes after 
the fire Is presumed to have started, a man 
came to him for treatment of a broken finger 
and a hand burned by tar. 

Dreamland, thus completely wiped out, has 
not been rebuilt, uor is it likely the park will 
ever be,, reconstructed. Another fire at Coney 
Island, which for a time caused the managera 
and owners anxiety, occurred on Saturday morn- 
ing. July 15. when flames swept the Tunnels 
of Love, located at the furthermost extremity 
of the Bowery nesr Steeplechase Park. Prompt 




Ruins of The Tickler, where the fire originated that threatened the entire enclosure of Chester Park. 



When Dreamland had been nearly burned out 
a brisk wind sprang up suddenly from the north- 
east, driving the sparks along the avenue, and 
in a few moments hundreds of small Urea had 
started and soon expanded. Proprietors and 
employees of threatened buildings fought val- 
iantly to save their property. 

In the meantime, the animals in the old Bos- 
tock arena were howling In terror. Some of 
the smaller and legs dangerous animals were 
driven Into small traveling cages or roped and 
bound and were carried to nearby barrooms, 
hotels or even private bouses back of the Im- 
periled district. 

Captain Bonavita, having been Instrumental in 
rescuing many of the cat animals, attempted 
to save the life of a young pet elephant, which 
knelt with its head in a corner and refused 
to move. Captain Bonavita was so intent upon 
his work of rescue that he had to be persuaded 
to leave the burning building. 

It Is very ■ fortunate for the park business 



action of the firefighters confined the flames to 
their place of origin and the damage done 
amounted to about $5,000. Again, on the night 
of July 28. Coney Island was threatened with de- 
struction, when a fire started in Dicker's Hotel, 
Surf Avenue. After thirty minutes of hard 
fighting, however, the blaze was extinguished, 
and the loss amounted to $5,000 to the hotel. 
Surrounding buildings were slightly damaged by 
water. 

CHUTES PARK DESTROYED. 

While the newspapers were busy preparing 
their stories of the Coney Island holocaust, the 
news of the destruction of Chutes Park, San 
Francisco, was flashed across the wirea. The 
fire started on the morning of May 29, and be- 
fore the flames could be extinguished, property 
to the valne of $250,000 ■. was destroyed. The 
Chutes fire was the most disastrous of the sea- 
son, excepting that of Dreamland. 



TWO FIRES AT OLENTANGY. 
Olentangy PaTk, Columbus, Ohio, had tss 
fires this season, the first being discovered before 
the blaze bad gained headway. This fire oc- 
curred on May 28 and originated in a concessit*, 
known as the Old Mill. The loss was slight, 
but, bad not the Are been discovered In Its ia- 
clplency, it would undoubtedly have resulted 
fatally to the park, as the building In wolcb 
the blaze originated was built of wood and 
canvas. The second fire at Olentangy was mote 
disastrous, resulting in s loss aggregated hr 
the manager to exceed $50,000. This fire oc- 
curred on July 18 and several buildings wen 
leveled before the fire was gotten under cos- 
trol. Two men were Injured, but not fatally. 

R1VERVIEW. CHICAGO. THREATENED. 
A fire tbat started from an unknown cam* 
In a vacant building on Northwest Aveirat, 
caused a loss of $20,000 at Rlvervlew Put, 
Friday night. Jnne 30. Allen Moss and Hear/ 
Cunningham, who were sleeping on cots Inside 
the concession. Panoramic Tours of the World, 
were rescued with difficulty by the firemen. 
Half a dozen concessions were destroyed. Mlai 
Anna West, night nurse at the Baby Incubator, 
was the first to give the alarm. She succeeded 
In removing her ten charges to a place of safety 
before the blaze gained headway. 

FIRE AT KANSAS CITY RESORT. 

Had it not been for a light wind, beautiful 
Electric Park, the pride of pleasure-seekers of 
Kansas City, Mo., would have been nothing more 
than a mass of smouldering ruins. As it Is, 
the magnificent skating rink Is but a bed <f 
ashes, and Indicates a loss of $12,000. The 
rink was at the northwest corner of the park, 
somewnat isolated from the other buildings, tad 
according to the firemen, that was all that 
kept from destruction the rest of the buildings. 

The Are started at 10:30 o'clock on the night 
of June 21, and before those in the bulldlni 
could get the fire extinguishers to work, the 
Barnes had gotten such headway that It wai 
Impossible to control them. The fire department 
bad hard work in keeping the flames from spread- 
ing and had to keep several lines of hose play- 
ing on other buildings. 

No sooner had the alarm been sent in this 
nearly 7,000 persons were on the grounds, 
watching the firemen and park helpers hero- 
ically struggling with the flames. While then 
was much crowding and jamming, five persona, 
mostly park employees, were slightly burned. 
They were M". J. Helm, manager of Electric: 
George Nescher. Jack Connors, Alfred Stafford, 
and Mrs. Carrie Beck, the cashier. 

The fire is believed to have been started by 
someone throwing a lighted cigar underneath 
the building. Igniting some papers or other In- 
flammable substance. At the time the flames 
burst through the floor there were thirty couples 
skating, but they retired in the best order 
and there was no evidence of anyone becoming 



Both the work of the Bremen and the police 
was deserving of praise; the work of the latter 
in keeping back the crowds and the saving of 
several automobiles from destruction, was com- 
mented upon by hundreds. 

The burned pavilion was the building used 
for the dog and poultry exhibit at tbe Mlasomi 
Valley Fair. The structure to replace It wfll 
be used for the same purpose at 'this year's 
fair. 

Electric Park was opened at Its present lo- 
cation May 19. 1907. Previous to that time, 
for six years It was located In tbe East Bot- 
toms. The park comprises twenty-eight and 
one-half acres, and the land and buildings rep- 
resent an investment of $750,000.

The Billboard Offers Prizes of One Hundred, Forty and Ten Dollars Respectively 
for the Three Best Plans and Suggestions for Rebuilding the Section of 
Chester Park Destroyed by Fire August 14-Contest Open to All 

COMPETITION CLOSES AT NOON, SEPTEMBER 12 



Before considering plans and suggestions i for 
the rebuilding of that portion ot Cheater Fart 
which was destroyed byflre »«st ■week Col. Ike 
Martin manager, called up The Billboard for 
its idea as to how the beat suggestions for re- 
building could be secured. The suggestion was 
made and accepted by Mr. Martin that The Bill- 
board offer prizes for the best suggestions and 
that The Billboard's thousands of readers be 
«iven the opportunity of Joining In the contest. 
Xnv reader of The Billboard may submit a sug- 
gestion or plan for rebuilding the burnt section 
of Cheater Park. 

For the best plan $100 will be awarded; a 
prize of $40 will be given to the second-best 
suggestion and $10 for the third. The Judges 
will be the dramatic editors of the four Cin- 
cinnati English dally newspapers, 1. e., En- 
quirer, Commercial, Post and Times-Star, the 
editor of The Billboard and Manager Martin of 
; Chester Park. 

The regulations governing the contest are 
simple. A plan showing Chester Park appears 
on the bottom of this page and the burned sec- 
tion Is Indicated by a heavy broken line. All 
that Is necessary for eligibility to the prize 
contest Is that the suggestions be written on 
one side of the paper, and that the plan, it any 
be tarnished, be drawn In Ink, with the name 
of its author and permanent address written 
on the back of the drawing. 

Reference to the plan on this page will be 
sufficient to show the size and shape of the 
■grounds upon which the new buildings are to 
be constructed. All the new buildings must 
face the lake, and should consist of the follow- 
ing: Good-sized vaudeville pavilion, similarly lo- 
cated to the destroyed pavilion. This pavilion 
Is to occupy the second floor of a building, the 
first floor of which is to enclose a restaurant, 
penny arcade, ladles' and gentlemen's toilet 
rooms, and as many legitimate moneymaking 
concessions and devices as space will permit: to 
be on a level with boardwalk around the lake. 
Biding devices, etc.. are to occupy second-floor 
height, and the first or groundfloor space is to 
be utilized. Suggestions for new and novel rid- 
ing devices will be particularly acceptable, but. 
in outlining these suggestions. It should be re- 
membered that the space underneath such de- 
vices is to be used. Owing to the limited 
amount of space in the park. It Is necessary 
that the ground floor be used as much as pos- 



sible. The printed plan should be studied ac- 
cording to the accompanying key, so that no 
suggestions might be made covering devices 
or concessions now on the grounds. 

All suggestions, plans, etc.. are to be sent 
to the editor of The Billboard.'. The competition 
is open to any one wishing to enter, and sug- 



gestions will be accepted until noon. September 
12, when the contest closes. The winners will 
be announced In the edition of The Billboard 
bearing date of September 23. and If space 
permits, the drawings of the successful con- 
testants will be published. 




In the event that the winners of the 
are in a position to personally superintend . tan 
construction of new buildings and devices ac- 
cording to the plans submitted by them, that 
management of Chester Park may make arrange- 
ments for the erection of such buildings at 
any time he may see fit: however, the prise 
winners and all others entering the contest acre* 
that their suggestions, plans, etc., become last 
property of The Billboard, and that neither thai 
management of Chester Park nor of Toe BIB- 
baord Is In any way responsible for the return 
of such suggestion, plan, etc. 

As the competition lis an open one. It la 
hoped that all readers of The Billboard inter- 
ested' In outdoor amusement enterprises will offer 
a suggestion. Previous experience Is unneces- 
sary and all suggestions will have an equal 
chance of being selected as s prise winners 

Don't forget the closing date of the cuu s u s- 
tltion— September 12. 

DISASTROUS PARK FIRES. 

(Continued from page 4.) 

Electric Park is a city within itself— boast- 
ing Its own police force, fire department, hos- 
pital, electrical plant, sewage and water sys- 
tem, and carries over fire hundred people en its 
payroll. 

SUMMER THEATRE) BORNEO. 

One of the more recent activities of the Are 
demon, was the complete destruction of the 
Rustic Theatre, Forest Lake. Palmer, Mass.. 
on August 12. The building was completely 
wrecked, the loss being approximated at $5,008. 
PENNY ARCADE DESTROYED. 

Kennywood Park. Pittsburg. Pa., had a are 
August 12, in which a penny arcade, motion 
picture theatre and shooting gallery were de- 
stroyed. The building which housed these amuse- 
ments was separated from the other amusement 
buildings, a fact which explains why the loss 
did not exceed $3,500. 

Miss Sophia Knapp. the beautiful young Chi- 
cago actress, has returned to that city after 
a week's vacation In her home tows, Shelby - 
ville. 111. Miss Knapp will probably be seen 
with one of the large musical comedy com pastes 
the coming season.

AMUSEMENT EVENTS OF THE 



ROSTAND BADLY INJURED 

Noted French Playwright whose Cyrano and Chanticler In= 
traduced Him so Favorably to the American Stage Sus- 
tains Injuries in Auto Accident that may Prove Fatal 



Biarritz, France, August IS (Special to The 
Billboard). — Edmond Eugene Alexis Bostnnd, 
the poet and dramatist, was seriously injured 
in aa automobile accident near bere today. Phy- 
sicians have as yet been unable to determine 
what the outcome of his injuries will be. He 
la suffering from contusions of the head and 
body, and Internal injuries are feared. 

M. Hostand was motoring from Les Bains to 
fit. Jean De Luz, when bis machine skidded on 
• curve In the road, turned over and fell into 
a. fifteen-foot ditch, pinning the poet tinder it. 
He was accompanied by bis chaff eur and a me- 
chanic, who were uninjured. 

M. Bostand, now 43 years old, was born In 
Marseilles in 1868, and commenced bis educa- 
tion at the Lycee of Marseilles, but came to 
Paris and finished bis education at the College 
Stanislas, a Catholic school, successfully passing 
his law examinations In 1891. 

Be started his literary career by publishing 
a book of poems, entitled Les Musardises, and 
soon after wrote the Romanesques, a three- 
act play, which was produced at the Comedie- 
aTrancaise In 1894. That play which was very 
taTOrably received by the public and theatrical

Sothern and 

Marlowe Marry 



New York, Aug. 18 (Special to The Bill 
board).— Manager Lee Shuhert received a ca- 
blegram today announcing the marriage of B. 
H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe. The marriage 
took place abroad. The theatrical world Is not 
surprised by the announcement, as rumors to 
this effect gained circulation immediately fol- 
lowing the divorce obtained by Virginia Harned, 
Mr. Sothern'B first wife, in Beno more than a 
year ago. Mr. Sothern and Miss Marlowe at 
the time made vehement denials: Mr. Sothern 
and Miss Marlowe went abroad in July, follow- 
ing the cancellation of their Broadway Theatre 
<N. Y.) engagement, on account of the Illness 
of Miss Marlowe. 



critics was soon followed by La Prlncesse Loln- 
talne, which was given by Sarah Bernhardt at 
the Renaissance, and by La Samaritaine, a 
Biblic play, in- three acts. But undoubtedly the 
greatest success achieved by Bostand came in 
189T. when Cyrano de Bergerac was created by 
the great Coquelin, at the Forte St. Martin. 
Given over 000 times In Paris alone, Cyrano de 
Bergerac was played in every town or village in 
France where there Is playhouse. Four yean 
later, Bostand produced at the Sarah Bernhardt 
Theatre, L'AIglon, a four-act play. In which 
the great Sarah played the part of the Duke or 
Belchstag, son of Napoleon. Although not 
meeting with the same success as its prede- 
cessor, L'AIglon, it was very favorably received, 
and applauded alike in America, as well as In 
England and France. 

It Is needless to write of Rostand's latest 
play, Chantecler, which Is still in the memory 
of every theatre-goer, being actually on the 
stage . in America, and only recently taken off 
here — Paris. 

Edmond Bostand Is. a Knight of the Legion 
of Honor, as well as a member of the French 
Academy.

Commits Suicide 



Chicago, m., Aug. 17 (Special to The Bill-

thoress, died this evening from an overdose of 
a drug believed to have been taken with sui- 
cidal intent. Mrs. McCullougb was the au- 
thoress of Lavender and Old. Lace, Love Letters 
of a Musician, and a number of other novels. 

A letter was found, In which Mrs. McCuI- 
lough enclosed a check for $1,000 for her 
maid, Annie Larson. She complained in the 
letter of her treatment at the hands of her 
husband, James Sydney McCnllongh.

In which each of the ladies present extolled the 
merits of her husband. James Sydney McCul- 
lough was adjudged to be the "Model Hus-

Chicago. Aug. 20 (Special to The Billboard). 
— Chicago's theatrical season of 1911-12 opened 
at the Cort Theatre last night, with the pre- 
miere of An Everyday Man with Thomas W. 
Ross In the leading role. The new' piece is by 
Owen Davis, the most prolific writer of plays

to be remembered. A large number of notable 
theatrical managers attended the performance. 
H. H. Frazee and his partner, George W. Led- 
erer, who staged the play, were both on band, 
as was the author. Owen Davis. After vocif- 
erous calls for "Author," Mr. Davis responded 
in a neat speech. The general consensus of 
opinion Is that In An Everyday Man. Mr. Ross 
has a play that fits him equally as well as did 
The Fortune Hnnter. The play la a comedy 
of camp and canoe, with the scenes laid In the 
Adlrondackis. The settings are novel, and the 
action takes place outdoors. The company is 
one of the best ever assembled for a Chicago 
production, and although It Is not an all-star

drop from the sky. The entire proceeds of the 
performance will be given to the little bereaved 
woman who witnessed the tragic death of her 
spouse. On the aame day that Johnstone lost 
his life, William B, Badger, the Pittsburgh, 
aviator was killed by the buckling of the lower 
planes of bis Baldwin biplane, while attempting; 
to negotiate the dreaded "death pit" in the 
aviation grounds. 

These were the only two fatal accidents of 
tbe week's events and were absolutely unavoid- 
able. They were hazards that one may expect 
of the air game until an appliance la perfected 
whereby the planes may automatically glide to 
safety after accident to engine or control. While 
there were several other accidents in which 
there was considerable property loss to aero- 
planes and appurtenances, not another aviator 
sustained even ugly bruises in his quest of 
air laurels. 

In the main the weather conditions during the 
meet were Ideal, although rain threatened 
through tbe earlier days, and the grounds were 
deluged with water for the Brat two or three 
nights. The attendance, due to the ideally ac- 
cessible location in tbe heart of a metropolis 
of 2,500.000 people, was the largest that has 
ever been gathered at a similar affair, and it 
is estimated that 4,600,000 people saw the event* 
from first to last. 

Through an alleged error In reading his baro- 
graph. Oscar Brindley was credited with having 
attained a height of 11,726 feet, thus break- 
ing the world's record for altitude. On Sat- 
urday tbe officials claimed to bave rectified this, 
and announced that Brindley bad attained only 
5.76S feet. Thus tbe altitude prize went to 
Phillip O. Parmalee, who held the next highest 
record for height attained. 

Bomb-throwing contests, in which sacks of 
flour were the missiles, showed the value of the 
aeroplane In naval warfare, and its value in 
naval scouting service was demonstrated by

New York, August 15 (Siwclai to The mil- 
board). — The past week was murked by an in- 
terval of dramatic lull In New York City as far 
as toe presentation of new shows is concerned. 
However, the interest in dramatics was kept 
well sustained by the productions that had 
their prelmeres last week. The Girl of My 
Dreams and The Real Thins, by the entertain- 
ments that persisted throughout the hot weather 
and by the resumption of activities of The 
Spring- Maid at the Liberty. As a Man Thinks 
at the Thirty-Ninth Street Theatre and Excuse 
Me at the Gaiety Theatre. It will be recalled 
that all these productions enjoyed very grati- 
fying runs during the past season and are to 
remain in New York until the metropolis has 
had plenty of opportunity of visiting or revisit- 
ing; them, as the case may be. The changes In 
toe casts of these productions are noticeably 
null. Christie MacDoarid and Tom McNaogh- 
ton are, as ever, the favorites of the Werba & 
Laescher attraction; Willis Sweatnam and Ann 
Murdock are leading in a continuation of their 
successful Interpretation of their roles In the 
Savage production; while John Mason and Chrya-

Allen Woolf, was given Its initial performance 
ait the Folies Bergere Cabaret performance at 
1:10 a. m.. Tuesday, August 15. Much has 
been said and written about this new feature 
and In introducing it. Toastmaster James J. 
Morton referred to a dance in the' new number 
as being _ "Home dance" and entirely worth 
waiting for If one cares for the passionate dan- 
ces that emanate from yon San Francisco dives. 
The new wriggle, reputed to be one of the most 
wicked and daring ever perpetrated on a New 
York audience. Is known as the Siberian Dip, 
and considering tbe verdict of tbe press as 
a criterion, will stand out as a prominent factor 
fa tbe Folies Bergere success. Tbe plot of this 
diminutive sketch Is not Important, the story 
being entirely subsidiary to the stage handi- 
work of Ned Wayhurn. A flirtatious father and 
son, a super-sagacious Infant, a dazzling array

lively atmosphere are its chief constituents.

DRAMATIZING AN UNPUBLISHED 
BOOK . 

New York, Aug. 18 (Special to Tbe Bill- 
board). — A dramatization of a book as yet un- 
published is tbe unusual mode made by Ltebler 
4c Co. All summer, George C. Tyler of the firm 
•f Llebler A" Co., and Robert HIchens. author 
of The Garden of Allah, have been in tbe 
desert of Sahara and tbe South of Europe ar- 
ranging for the production of tbe play at the 
Century Theatre, formerly tbe New Theatre. 
So Impressed was tbe American manager with 
tbe breadth and power of tbe Englishman as a 
provider of dramatic material that be arranged 
for first call on all Hlcbens' output. Mr. 
HIchens has lust completed the manuscript of 
a new novel called The Fruitful ..Vine, and Mr. 
Tyler has secured tbe dramatic ^rights to It. 
The book will be issued In a short time — about 
the time Mr. HIchens arrives In tbe United 
States to superintend tbe rehearsals of The 
Garden of Allab. 



Tbe Little Russian Prince and bis manager, 
Mr. Sobel, are visiting in New Orleans previous 
SO resuming engagements in the North. 



Tin- time is rapidly ilrawtu.^ close that the 
uew season will burst forth iu all its glory. The 
Billboard has for many weeks past anrnmnetMl 
the plans of the ambitious producing managers 
and our readers will recall that most of their 
arrangements take the form of reality within 
the neat few weeks. 

On August 21 Sam. Bernard opens at the Ca- 
sino in He Came from Milwaukee, a last year"s 
revival, slated for a two weeks' run; on the 
2Stb of the month Donald Brian will make his 
New York appearance in The Siren, a Frohman 
prodnction; on tbe last day of the month the 
re-chrlsteried Hackett Theatre, now the Harris, 
will swing open its doors. 



William Elliott, . who won success as the 
young attorney in Madame X. will be associated 
with David Belasco as a theatrical producing 
manager. Elliott is a son-in-law of Belasco 
and has played under the Belasco management 
for several years, having created important 
parts in The Rose of the Rancbo, A Grand Army 
Man and Tbe Music Master. He also played 
for two seasons the leading Juvenile parts with 
Richard Mansfield. Elliott is a great favorite 
with New York audiences and it was under- 
stood that before long he.would be starred in a 
company of his own. He, though it Is not 
known generally to the theatrical world, con- 
ducted the business management of several 



companies before he began to figure prominently 
on the stage. As a stage director be attained 
a great deal of local prominence, and that 
phase of theatrical work he always preferred, 
despite bis success aa an actor. In his asso- 
ciation with Belasco, Elliott will have a chance 
to return to his favorite field under unusually 
favorable conditions. He will not, however, 
give up acting altogether, and probably will 
be seen in several plays In New York this win- 
ter. 

John Drew returned to New York last Tuesday 
from bis country place at East Hampton, Long 
Island. With Mr. Drew in the leading part 
was held tbe first rehearsal of the comedy, A 
Single Man. under the direction of Hubert Henry 
Davies, author of The Mollusc. This mark* 
the commencement of John Drew's sixteenth 
season under tbe management of Charles Froh- 
man. 

Julian Royce, who will be recalled for his 
performance of Captain Hawtree In the all-star 
cast of Caste several seasons ago at tbe Em- 
pire, has an important part in Passers-By. 

Sam Bernard's company this season Includes 
Miss Nella Bergen, tbe prima donna, and most 
of tbe leading players who appeared with him 
last year. Tbe engagement Is positively- re- 
stricted to two weeks, as he' Is then scheduled 
to start immediately on bis first tour to the 
Pacific Coast. After Mr. Bernard's engsgement 
at the Casino, the star Pinafore prodnction. 
which was discontinued during tbe middle of 
the summer, will be resumed. 

An important engagement was announced 
Tuesday, August IS, by Llebler & Co., for the 
company to support H. B. Warner In Alias 
Jimmy Valentine. W. H. Turner was put 
under contract for tbe role of Bill Avery, the 
old offender. 

Harry Pilcer. one of the cast of the Folies 
Bergere Company, dislocated his shoulder last 
Monday nlgbt, August 14. He was billed 
to dance Tbe Siberian Whirl, and announced 
that be could not go on because of the acci- 
dent. Mr. Pilcer pluckily continued through 
his dance Moday night, but found It Impossible

Acts New to 

New York 



EDGAR BERGER, Equilibrist; Hammerstein's; 
8 minutes; roll stage. 

By reason of his accomplishment of feats 
which have been originated by him, Edg-ir 
Berger bas considerably advanced tbe value of 
bis act. It is apparent from tbe start tbat 
when Berger outlined the frame-up of hi* 
present offering one of tbe uppermost considera- 
tions he bore In mind was tbe necessity, or- 
iginality. In everything he attempted. While 
this statement does not mean that he bas de- 
veloped an eighth wonder It covers tbe Idea to 
be conveyed tbat Berger performs his work la 
a manner that is dissimilar In tbe style of 
presenting It to tbe efforts of bis brother equil- 
ibrists. With a nicely mapped out routine of 
equllibrlstic feats wheh. as we bave just said, 
bear tbe stamp of originality, Berger bas -an 
act which be regales one with eight minutes of 
real entertainment. 

AUDREY MAPLE AND FLETCHER NORTON, 
Singing and Dancing; 14 odnutes; Fifth 
Avenue; In one. 

Fletcher Norton was recently with the Conley 
Sisters in vaudeville. Audrey Maple was wltb 
The Arcadians. Their union has • resulted lu s 
pleasing addition to tbe list of acts In tbe 
two-a-day Held. The billing matter, "Smart 
songs and dances" aptly describes the work of 
Maple and Norton. Tbe numbers selected are 
well suited for tbe abilities of the artists and 
together with Norton's style of dancing is 
round ont a most acceptable piece for tbe 
pair. As far as appearance and wardrobe are 
concerned Maple and Norton sake second place 
for none. At the Fifth Avenue tbey scored * 
substantial success. 



AL. B. WHITE AND FIVE MELODY MAIDS, 
Songs, Dances and Music; 14 minutes; 
Fifth Avenue; Full stage. 

Aided by five girls, one of whom, a singer, 
appears most prominently, Al. B. White, form- 
erly of the rathskeller act of Taylor, Kranz- 
man and Wblte, provides a most agreeable 
fourteen minutes of mirth and melody as the 
program describes tbe act. As a singer of 
"rag" songs Wblte can hardly be surpassed. 
Tbe maid wbo takes part wltb him In a couple 
of numbers Is a competent and most 
valuable aid. Tbe remaining members of 
tbe act enliven matters somewhat wltb 
selections on tbe nlano. Wblte and the Melody 
Maids were In a poor spot (closing position I 
on ihe Fifth Avenue, but it did not deter then 
from taking a half dozen bows at Wednesday 
nlgbt's show.

tions, but principally to tbe plays In which

MENT WEEK IN NEW YORK 



FIFTH AVENU E BILL 

A Bill of Comedy, the Real Essence of Quality in Vaudeville, 
Others to the Contrary Notwithstanding, It Stands 
Out Prominently for Its Merits 



Sew York, Ang. 19 (Special to The Blll- 
bi'unl).— For entertainment the bill Manager 
Robert E. Irwin ot the Fifth Avenue, ha» this 
week placed on exhibition for t'je delectation 
of Manbattanltes, Is not to be equalled every 
week. Comedy and song hare the greatest rep- 
resentation of any entertaining quality In the 
various acts. It might be called a bill of com- 

* d Dale and Boyle started the ball filling with * 
mimical bit called The Belle and the Mean. 
The good work was continued by Albert Kenyon 
and Bessie Moore, whose specialty is a charm- 
ing pastoral comedy playlet called Who Cares' 
The skit Is as pretty as sunshine. It tel.* a 
charming love story and It Is beautifully played 
by Mr. Kenyon and Miss Moore. 

One of the early hits of the bUl was the work 
of Collins and Hart, the burlesque strong men. 
Collins and Hart are Just back to the States 
after spending some time In England, In wbl;h 
country they duplicated their suceess In Uncle 
Sam's domain. . „ 

Whenever the line "Albee, Weber and Evans 
present" appears above the name of an act on 
any program there need be no conjecture as to 
merits of the act. Albee. Weber and Evans 
have a penchant for directing acts that are 
real successes. Just another Illustration of this 
statement may be found In the result of the ef- 
forts of the Tivoll Fonr, a singing act man- 
aged by Albee. Weber and Evans, on the Fifth 
Avenue bill. Whatever reputation remains to be 
made for this quartette will soon be gained if 
the act Is not permitted to drop below Its 
present standard. The volcea of the men are 
good: the numbers are well chosen, and what Is 
more they are well put over. 

Headlining the bill are Boss and Fenton. 
Their vehicle for the week la a domestic com- 
-edy, for the authorship of which Charles J. 
Boss la given credit, entitled Just Like a 
Woman. Ross and Fenton are given opportu- 
nity to do aome very fine work, and they make 
the best of the chances. 

Fletcher Norton, who until recently to with 
the Conley Sisters. Is now doing a torn with 



New School 

Act Presented 



Xew York. Aug. 18 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — Johnson and Kelly's Nine Frolicking 
Rids is the title of a school act which has Just 
been launched In the seas of vaudeville. The 
offering Is owned and managed by Albert Schep- 
ler. Comprising the company are Joe Kelly, 
William Johnson, Ion Locket, Sam Evans, 
•George Mstthews. WlHIe Hogan, Lulu White, 
Marlon Stella and Bessie Vernon. At Proctor's 
SSth Street Theatre and Proctor's 23d Street 
house, where the act played this week. It 
created a continual round of amusement. 



PERTINENT PATTER. 



New York, Ang. 19 (Special to The Bill- 
board).— The two-act aviation sketch called Vol- 
planing, which was written for Hubert Latham, 
the French aviator, by Edenard Duraud, baa 
been accepted and will soon be seen on tbe vau- 
deville stage. It will be produced first In Pa .-Is, 
coming to New York later in the season. Edou- 
ard Durand, the author of the skit, la the com- 
edian who takes the part of General Bombai- 
tino In The Girl of My Dreams, now playing at 
the Criterion. 

Dick'a 8weetheart Is the title of the playlet 
which Miss Bertha Willsea and ber company 
are presenting to local vaudeville audiences. 

After an absence of three years, Wm. O'Clare 
and his Colleen Bawn are back in New York 
City. They opened Monday at the City Theatre. 
During the three years they have been away 
from New York they have beer, playing the Sul- 
livan & Conslillnr Circuit. W.' V. A. Time, and 
other chains of theatres in the West. An In- 
cident of Interest Is the fact that at the time ot 
their last appearance in New York they played 
Tony Pastor's Theatre, which Is Just opposite 
from the city, where Mr. O'Clare opened Mon- 
day. 

A musleal act recently formed Is that known 
as The rour Musical Girls, who are Anna Ben- 
der!, violinist :Margaret Rnemaet. violinist; 
Mnrle Rnemart. 'cello, and Mrs. Johnson, vocal- 
ist. The act la now playing the Proctor Time. 



"MULLIGAN" FOR S. & C. CIRCUIT. 

New York. Aug. 19 (Special to The Bill- 
board).— Bnzemnn Bulger's hnsrbsll skit. Swat 
Mulligan, has been b"oked to g<» over the Sulll- 
*«» & Consldine Circuit for a twenty-six weeks' 
•our. The opening will be made August 27 at 
Milwaukee. Daisy Stampe Is now playing the 
Utile "fanness" in the piece and Billy Carey 
"s the messenger hoy. Harvey Hayes and 
Kraak Hanna are also In. tbe act. 



NUMBER OF ACTS INCREASED. 

, New York. Anrast 21- (Special to The Blll- 
U''iird.) — The number of acta comprising the 
'liunmerstein program Is this week Increased 
'<• sixteen. For the past several weeks twelve 
■'•riiB Were used. Stella Mayhew Is one of the 
• lures. 



Audrey Maple. The number Is reviewed under 
New Acts. 

Instead of closing the show. In which position 
they were originally programed, Tbe Flying 
Martins, two young trapeze artists, were moved 
up to Spot No. T. Tbe Martins seem to be glut- 
tons for work. They work hard and at the 
same time rapidly. What feats they under- 
take are done with a spirit of dare-deviltry and 
recklessness that Is seldom to be found. When 
It Is possible for a trapeze act to take four or 
five bows after a performance It can readily be 
perceived that the act possesses extraordinary 
merit.

BILL AT HAMME RSTEIN'S 

Ruth St. Denis Again Heads a Bill Upon Which Joe Jackson, 
Bert Fitzgibbon and Trovato Struggle for First J ^ 
Place in Popularity with the Audience 



New York, August 19 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — For the fourth consecutive week (al- 
thongh the last) the name of Ruth St- Denis 
appears In enlarged letters on the Hammersteln 
program. Ber dances this week are the same 
as those she presented last week. 

Although St. Denis Is headlining tbe show, 
tbe honor of being the bit of the bill, to use 
a popular expression, lies between Joe Jackson, 
Bert Fitzgibbon and Trovato. In the selection 
of these three acts, the amonnt of applause 
received is the only item in the reckoning. 
Each of the three has appeared at Hammer- 
stein's time and time again and upon each 
appearance their success is pronounced.

Managers Seek 

Marie Sparrow 



New York, Aug. 19 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — Managers of legitimate productions 
ore endeavoring to hare Marie Sparrow decide 
to relinquish the vaudeville game aud corral 
her for a production. Miss Sparrow is doing a 
single act and has been scoring so heavily that 
offers to feature her In productions have become 
numerous. An Illustration of her success In 
local vaudeville houses is the fact that at the 
present time she is playing her third return 
tour over the Keith & Proctor Circuit within 
Iho last few months. ' 

BROOKS AND VETTER RETURN. 

New York. August 19 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — Max Brooks and Sadie Tetter returned 
to New York this week on the Baltic after a 
sonann In vaudeville on the other side. They 
have booked up time In England and Scotland 
for 1912-13. 



Song Writers in 

"Corner Bill" 



New York. August 19 (Special to Tbe Bill- 
board). — On the bill at Hammerstein's this week 
are McCarthy and Piantadosl. two song writers 
who have made reputations for themselves by 
composing some of the recent hits. McCarthy 
wrote Lonesome and Piantadosl Is tbe com- 
poser of Summer Days and other numbers. 



FARLEY AND BUTLER SCORE. 



Nevr York. Aug. 19 (Special to The Blll- 
honrd). — At the Union Square Theatre tbe last 
half of this week'one of the tills ot the show 
were Farley and Butler, a comedy singing and 
talking number. Farley and Butler are billed 
us The Giggle Getters, a title they richly de- 
serve. Since they have opened on the time 
Farley and Butler have been scoring as heavily 
everywhere as at Union • Square. 



Edgar Berger. a new act, and therefore re- 
viewed nnder that heading, opened the ahow. 
displaying some equilibrlstlc feats which attest 
tbe fact that Berger has made efforts to de 
something dissimilar to what others In bis 
particular style ot work are doing. He has suc- 
ceeded. 

Handicapped by a poor-sized audience (for It 
rained Tuesday night and the regulars were 
not out In force). Kramer and Ross, singers sad 
dancers, worked with little appreciation. They 
have an Interesting routine of steps, which, com- 
bined with the neat appearance of tbe dancers, 
sbonld put them over In any boose when con- 
ditions are ordinary. 

Billy Watklna and the Williams Sisters sang 
and danced and attained success. 

Bert Fltzglbhons, followln g them, was the 
first to create any unusual amount of excite- 
ment. Fitzgibbon la what him billing claims 
him to be — a daffydil. His parodies and gags 
(George May. the orchestra leader. lending s 
hand in putting over the latter-named materi- 
al) caused an Incessant roar of laughter. 

The fun-making was continued by Joe Jackson, 
the Tramp Cyclist. Already so many good 
things have been said abont Jackson that one's 
vocabulary becomes exhausted. Still, It might 
be added that Jackson scored his usual hit; sod 
those who know what sized nits Jackson Is 
wont to make will realize at once that be bad 
the Hammerstein audience Ms own way. 

Tbe Victoria Fonr nicely rendered six num- 
bers, of which Baby Boat- seemed to be tbe 
best liked. The finish, a medley. Is not strong 
tnongh for a get-away number end should be 
discarded In favor of something more substan- 
tial. 

What misfits one finds in s clothing sbo* 
wherein suits are sold for $3.33 cannot compare - 
with the men In George. B. Reno's company who 
go to make np tbe Misfit Army. There Is tbe 
tali, lanky fellow, the dwarf, the bey carry- 
ing around with him the weight of a half-tea, 
tbe buffoon and (though tbe person of whom 
we are abont to speak Is out of tbe misfit class)

IMPORTANT THEATRICAL EVENTS OF 



MOISAN TS IN D ISFAVOR 

International Aviators Employ Their Usual Tactics Where 
They are Outclassed and have to Enter into Competition 
with Real Promoters of Aviation Meets 



The conduct of the Molsant International Avi- 
ators at the Chicago Aviation Meet which closed 
Angnst 20, caused considerable comment, prin- 
cipally on account of their continuing in the 
meet after poor St. Croix Johnstone's death. By 
this action, the Moisants showed that sentiment 
plays no part whatever with them in the avi- 
ation business, and that it is the "almighty 
dollar" first, last and always. 

The Moisants -were in disfavor with the mul- 
titudes from the start, as Alfred J. Molsant on 
the very first day waded In with the attempt 
to have Frank Coffyn, the Wright aviator, de- 
barred from farther participating in the meet, 
alleging that Coffyn, while carrying two passen- 
gers In his big biplane, had deliberately collided 
with a Molsant monoplane that was in the field 
being made ready for Bene Simon. As If Cof- 
fyn or any other man with an ounce of sense 
would endanger his own life and the lives of 
his passengers merely to put another machine 
out of the running. The protest was unsports- 
manlike and malicious, and the executive com- 
mittee very properly refused to even consider 

A number of aviators were cautioned against 
flying over the crowd In the stands, and ail re- 
frained from repeating the offense, with the ex- 



NEW MAN AGER.

Half, assistant treasurer; Arthur Dunn, adver- 
tising agent; Walter Houlehen, stage manager; 
Frank Irish, electrician; Fred Hnemmer, prop- 
erty man; Harry E. Billings, press representa- 
tive. 

Mr. Schoenecker retains his present position 
as general auditor for the Herman Febr enter- 
prises covering Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis 
and St. Paul. 



Aviation Meet 
In Contemplation 



Grand Falls, Neb., Aug. 18 (Special to The 
Billboard). — Arrangements are >~>lng made for 
an aviation meet and fall festival here. The 
dates have not been definitely decided upon but 
wffl. most likely be September 26, 27 and 28. 
The Cur tins Exhibition Co. has been asked for 
a contract, and the ball will be started rolling 
■t once In all directions to boost tor the big 
events. H. H. Glover, I*. M. Talmage, B. Wil- 
liams, C. C. Hanson and A. I*. Beegle were ap- 
pointed a committee on general arrangements, 
to have charge of the entire affair. 



I. A.B.P.& B. OF A. NOTES. 



Minneapolis. Minn.. Aug. 19 (Special to The 
Billboard). — Harley White, our business agent, 
has been very busy In the last month looking af- 
ter circus cars, as there has been eight cars In 
one month. 

Seus-Floto Car No. S arrived with Ed. Mc- 
Knead. AL Butler, H. EL Lamb, Paul Fames, 
Bud Burger, F. O. Rossman, Bert Stiles and 
Bert Wade. 

F. O. Rossman, who left Ideal No. 10 for 
Local No. 1. was formerly with the Yankee 
Robinson Shows and Is now boss billposter with 
the SeDs-Floto Car No. 3. 

Advertising Car No. 1, of the 101 Ranch 
Wild West, was here with Manager Paul Har- 
reH in charge. George Phil pott, boss Iltho. 
and Hike Wlsebart, boss billposter and sixteen 
men. The town was billed the limit. A banquet 
for the men was ready but as the car was late 
on arrival the banquet was called off. 

Fred Riley says he's going to start a school 
for bill posting. Gness BUey would make a 
good teacher, for a billposter BUey Is bard to 

Busty Davidson, busy all the time, must he 
tn Winnipeg back at the old Job of agent at 
the Orphetun, as we haven't heard from him 
since June. 

Ed. Tj. Jones never visited the camp this sea- 
son. He sore would be here if he could. 

Frank Hlxon goes Into vaudeville this coming 
season, where he plays the messenger boy, so 
Local No. 10 loses one of its lithographers. 

We have been wondering what has become of 
Bob Lin wood. Jack Carr says he's saving his 
money- to get married. 

Wn. Lonabarger and Carl Munsen are still 
with, the Wallace Show. 

Tom "Tumble" Jones leaves to sen cigars for 
a local firm. 

Harry Reed, known as "Gump" Reed, passed 
through and visited old friends. "Gump" Is on 
his way to the Kit Carson Wild West Show.

MERRY-GO- ROUND KILLS; MAIMS 



Fort Fairfield. Me.. Aug. IS. — One person waa 
killed and thirteen Injured while riding on a 

wand at a church plenie here when 

which supplied steam for the merry- 



"EST 



ceptlon of Simon, who showed an utter disregard 
for the safety of the spectators. - The committee 
plastered a ? 100 fine on him, which had a salu- 
tary effect. 

It Is stated that Johnstone, In a letter written 
the day before his death to a doctor in St. 
Louis, said: "Our machines were put together 
in a rush and we are not getting - the money." 
Perhaps, If Johnstone's machine had not been

LONDON NEWS LETTER 

Report of the Latest Happenings of Amusement Significance 
in the Metropolis of John Bull's Domain — Comment on 
Attractions and Forecast of Amusement Events 



And so If Gilbert did go through life with 
the general reputation in the theatrical profes- 
sion of being a surly old bear, he has done a 
good deal to have that Idea corrected after his 
death. The gift of the reversion of the Garrlck 
Theatre to the Actors' Benevolent Fund Is 
easily the most munificent In the existence of 
that Institution and the revenues from one of 
the finest theatres tn this town should enable It 
to extend its work enormously. 

The great Pavlowa-Mordkin combination at 
the Palace Theatre has ended in a flaming dis- 
cord. The last evening but one of their Joint 
engagement was the climax. Things have not 



DAVE EDELMAN. 




Although young In years, Mr. Edelman has created a favorable Impression In stock. He will 
be seen In vaudeville next season.

damages against the officers and members of the 
Executive Committee of the International Avia- 
tion Meet Association, alleging that other avia-

here, succeeding James A Holden, who resigned

Frank Q. Doyle 
Gets New House 



Chicago, m., Aug. 19 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — Frank Q. Doyle, the Marcus Loew- 
Wm. Morris representative In Chicago, returned 
from New York the early part of the week. 
Mr. Doyle reports a scarcity of new acts and 
faces and as this Is what most of the managers 
are demanding, Mr. Doyle seems to be quite a 
bit disappointed inasmuch as be can not And 
enough new acts to fill the demand. Among 
the new houses that will be booked by Mf. 
Doyle this season are the Bush Temple, Chi- 
cago, which will open Saturday, August 28. 
Toe National Theatre at Detroit, Mich., will 
open October 2, under the management of Mr. 
Charles Hagerdorn. 



ACTORS GET MORE PAY HERE. 



The reason many European vaudeville stsrs 
come to America Is that Europe does not pay 
the salaries for performers that are paid here. 
According to a well-known manager, America 
represents the acme of pay to the European 
star, and they are all anxious to come to this 
country. Their contracts are not large the first 
year, but if they make good It goes up. Amer- 
ica's Importation will be unusually large this 
year. 



been going any too smoothly since their last 
big row and It was evident that the patcaed-uo 
reconciliation was more outward than real. Bat 
last Friday, before a crowded house which has 
applauded the artists separately in The Gypsj 
and La Rose Qui Meurt. Mordkln and Pavlowt 
came together for the famous Bacchanale, the 
one number In which they appeared on the stare 
simultaneously. When they came to the Joyous 
"tour," for some reason or other not apparent 
from the front, Pavlowa lost her balance ant 
fell to the floor. The next Instant she was on 
her feet, in a white heat of rage, and rushing 
across to Mordkln, slapped him twice acrow 
the arm and walked off the stage. Eventually 
the curtain had to be lowered amid considerable 
demonstration from those present and so the 
show ended. 

Afterwards both accused the other of ^elnr 
the cause of the fail and there was a pretty 
scene of recrimination. My own view is that 
It was Just an accidental slip and Mordkln hid 
nothing whatever to do with It, Public sym- 
pathy throughout has been with him and there 
Is no question but that for the last four months 
he has had an unbearable amount of annoyance 
to put up with and he deserves every credit 
for the dignified manner In which he has acted. 
Pavlowa remains at the Palace for another week 
or so, her partner now being M. Novikoff. a 
great Russian dancer, while Mordkln, after s 
short European tour, returns here to found t 
school of dancing. 

The air Is full of vaudeville circuit amalga- 
mations just now and several of them are ac- 
complished facts. The most Important — that be- 
tween O-Tvald Stoll and Walter Gibbons — I fore- 
shadowed to you some weeks ago. Stoll, who 
has pa: a great deal of new capital into the 
concern, becomes managing director of the Gib- 
bons Circuit, while Gibbons is president of the 
entire combination. This means that the new 
venture will control twenty-nine of the finest 
halls In England, two dozen of them being Id 
London, including the Coliseum and the beautiful 
Palladium, and will represent a capital of near- 
ly $15,000,000.

have been broken had such existed. Naturally,

CHICAG O VAUD EVILLE

Make Their Appeal to the Neighborhood Patronage in 
Competition With the Motion Picture Theatres 



BILL AT THE WILSON. 

Chicago, 111., Aug. 19 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — The Wilson Avenue has been on the 
down hill route for the past several weeks, but 
this week finds a very good bill. On Wednesday 
night a bit of real comedy was put over which 
caused more real hearty laughter than any of 
the foolery in the entire show. While Nanon 
and Mlgnon were on, some trouble with the 
wires cansed the lights to go out. One of the 
attendants (who evidently was a bit nervous) 
made this announcement: "The management 
takes pleasure In stating that the power Is off

OTIS SKINNER IN KISMET. 

Klaw & Erlanger have announced that Otis 
Skinner would act the part of Hajl, the beggar. 
In Kismet. The arrangement was made with 
Charles Frohman, Mr. Skinner's manager;" Ever 
since the announcement that Harrison Grey 
Fiske and Klaw & Erlanger -would produce 
this piece in America, there has been consider- 
able speculation concerning the selection of 
the principal actor. A number of leading actors 
were suggested, but when MB. Frohman signified 
his willingness to release Mr. Skinner for the 
role the difficult oroblem waa solved . 

The play Is an Arabian romance by Edward 
Knoblauch, an American, bnt London saw. Its 
first production. Oscar Ashe has carried' It to 
Immense success abroad, so here's hoping that 
Mr. Skinner has at last found a part worthy of 
his talents. 



and will the audience please remain seated 
for about half an hour." It took about two 
seconds for the "bull" to hit the mark, but 
when It did the result was one big scream. 

The show was opened by Jacobs and Harden, 
acrobatic Jumping comlques. The acrobatic 
work Is good but the exhibitions la barrel Jump- 
ing Is the back-bone of the act. These feats la 
part seemed almost impossible and won hearty 
applause and appreciation. 

Nanon and Mlgnon, a team of clever girl*, 
do singing and' pianologue. They were handi- 
capped by trouble with the lights during their 
act and worked in the dark. Their costumes 
are tasteful and becoming, but owing "to the 
darkness the audience could hardly give them 
credit for this as they were almost invisible. 
Their act went very big and responded to sev- 
eral encores. 

Charles Llndholm and Company present a com- 
edy playlet called The Man From Minnesota. 
The act is overflowing with good comedy situa- 
tions and made a decided hit. 

The Trevet Quartette, harmony singers and 
entertainers, were the hit of the bill. There 
Is comedy In the act, but not the rough kind 
found In most quartettes. The comedy parts 
are ably carried In black-face and nance char, 
acters, and created a number of good laughs. 
The harmony in the songs Is close and true and 
the only criticism offered is that some of- the 
songs are not as new as they might be. The 
boys responded to three encores. 

The Great Adonis and Dog, are headlined 
and close the show. They were reviewed to 
these columns last week under the report of 
the Willard Theatre.

Burlesque Bits 

from Chicago 



Chicago. HI., Ang. 19 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — With the opening of the week of the 
twenty-first, all the principal burlesque houses 
in Chicago will be open, and from present Indi- 
cations be enjoying good business. The attrac- 
tions for the various houses are as follows: 
Tbe Columbia, The Midnight Maidens; The Fol- 
ly, Williams Ideals; Empire, Tbe Girls From 
Reno; Star, Jardin de Paris Girls; Star and 
Garter, Halllday & Curley's Painting the Town 
Company, and the illusion. The Spray of Life, 
as an extra added attraction. 

On Friday night the last-mentioned company 
gave a dress rehearsal at the Star and Garter. 
A large number of local theatrical and news- 
paper men were present and all pronounced 
the show dean and good. Jack Singer, who Is 
producing the show, witnessed It In company 
with Manager Moe and both expressed them- 
selves as well pleased with the smoothness of 
the affair. The production really resembles a 
refined musical comedy Instead of a burlesque 
show. The songs have been carefully selected 
and are put across by singers with real voices, 
something very rare In a burlesque. Tbe Irish 
comedy parts of both Messrs. Halllday and 
Curley are deliciously natural and funny. There 
Is a welcome and noticeable elimination of all 
vulgarity or suggesttveness from the entire pro- 
duction and Jack Singer may well feel proud 
of his uplift of the now-a-days burlesque. The 
olio is good but there's not enough, of It- 
There Is a decided absence of variety here, as 
both the olio offerings are singing acts. The 
show has been fitted out regardless of expense 
and the result is elaborate costumes and scenic 
effects. The chorus could hardly be called a 
"beauty bunch," but the girls all have fine 
voices and seem to understand how to use them. 
Sidney Wire Is ahead of the show and folks 
who happen to be so fortunate as to know 
this "Perpetual motion bug" will realize the 
financial result to Mr. Singer. 



OLD DRAMATIC CRITIC DEAD. 



San Francisco, Aug. 10 (Special to The Bill-

critics on the Pacific Coast, and next to Wil- 
liam Winter, the oldest critic In point ot serv-

paying to the Drama League the annual club 
dues of $2." 

It is further suggested 'that each season's 
work be concluded with a dramatic festival 
extending over two or three days, and compre- 
hending, perhaps, the best and most significant 
results of the season's work. It Is urged thst 
everything in the presentation of plays. Inter- 
pretation, stage setting and costuming, be han- 
dled In the simplest manner, avoiding the spec- 
tacular and making all efforts bend toward that 
which is educational and uplifting.

MENT WEEK IN CHICAGO 



THE M AJESTI C BILL 

Paul Armstrong's Playlet in Three Scenes Contributes Fur- 
ther to the Author's Enviable Reputation Made by Alias 
Jimmy Valentine— Other Excellent Acts on the Bill 



ChlcaKO. 111., August 17 (Special to The Bill- 
board). — Two yearn ago this fall, at the Stiule- 
baker. Jimmy Valentine was presented. Although 
the plav had a comparatively short run. it 
was instrumental In making the author, Paul 
Armstrong, one of the greatest writers In the 
eyes of the Chicago theatre-coins public. It 
Is doubtful whether any other play has ever 
received such general praise and commendation. 
Nearly every one who Is Interested in theatrlc- 
ali rill remember the story of Alias Jimmy 
Valentine with a glve-us-some-more feeling. 
Since the show closed at the Stndebaker that 
desire has never been gratified In Chicago until 
toil werK, when Mr. Armstrong's great playlet, 
A Romance of the Underworld, is presented at 
the Majestic. The Importance and popularity 
ef the author la shown by tbe Increased boxotfice 
receipts. Necessarily tbey must be increased, 
is the salary of twenty-five very clever artists 
■uch as those who. appear so well In this play- 
let, can be no small item. Tbe Majestic has not 
followed tbe policy of some of the smaller 
theatres — that of playing one big act and rilling 
tbe show out with a cbeap class. In order to 
keep down expensea; Instead, tbey have filled 
the show witb acts, any one of which might be 
Justly featured on any bill. Tbe entire house 
van sold out at both the matinee and night 
performances on Monday and exceptionally good 
business has been the rale for the most part of 
the week. 

Joe Schenck and Gus Van, two newcomers in 
tbe Chicago field, open the show and prove one 
big surprise. The boys are offering a piano and 
tinging act of a very classy nature. They are 
reviewed nnder new acts on this page. 

Tbe Marlo-Aldo Trio submit a sensational gym- 
aastlc offering of a very original nature. Their 
bar work Is fast and difficult, the comedy sub- 
mitted just enough to lend a tone of variety to 
the act, and Is put over very nicely. The act 
went very big and took three or four bows. 

Alphonse Zelaya. son of the exiled president 
of Nicaragua, soldier, artist, diplomat and musi- 
cian, appears under the billing. The Paderewskl 
of Central America. Zelaya was put on aa an 
extra added attraction and created quite a sen- 
sation in his character Impersonations of the 
treat masters. His first Is of Liszt and calls 
for some clever acting as well aa the execution 
it the piano. Mr. Zelaya does both In a man- 
aer te elicit 'genuine applause and enthusiasm. 
His second number Is of Strauss, In character, 
playin* the famous Blue Danube Waltt. Next 
he offers a burlesque on Paderewskl playing The 
Clow Worm. This selection proved a big hit. 
but the close of bis act. The Rosary, played 
with the left hand Imitating four hands on 
an the keyboard, proved a genuine riot. Ze- 
laya uses a concert grand piano and has a very 
pretty stage setting backed by a velvet drop. 
Tbe act ran about twenty minutes in two. 

Chas. Kevins and Ada Gordon offer a pleasant 
little patter called Little Miss Manicure. Both 
tbe, lady and gentleman are pleasing and offer 
songs In an original manner. The bit at tbe 
close of their act proved one of the real laugh 
fife of the bill. The Scare Crow Girl, by 
Miss Gordon. Is a scream. They really have 
tbe audience guessing whether It Is real or Just 
a dummy. Miss Gordon la tossed and kicked 
about by Mr. Nevln In a way that would cause 
any one to believe the whole affair a Joke, bnt 
mis Ides Is promptly dismissed when Miss 
Cordon anally gets on her feet arid treats the 
•oolence to a real scarecrow dance. The doo re- 
sponded to several encores. 

The Unstkal Girls are fire of the principal 
musicians from the Boston Fadettes Ladlea' Or- 
Jbeatra. They are: Mary WUcxek. violinist: 
Milan Prlngle. 'cellist: Elesnor Piper, cornet- 
ut; Edith Swan, trombonist: snd Eatelle Chureb- 
ui. pianist, drummer and vocalist. The ladles 
•aye chosen a popular repertoire and one that 
found much favor with the Majestic audience, 
as the act proved a big success. 

Another really sensational hit of the bill la 
worge Austin Moore and Cordelia Baager. They 
«e reviewed under new acts on this page. 

The big headline attraction, Paul Armstrong's 
Playlet. A Romance of the Underworld, was 
pot on for the first time with the special scenery 
med this week at the Majestic, and Is also

The characters of Jud-« and court attendants

part Is finely enacted by Mr. Pierre Younge who

of a typical bowery "TH- " and Is given "three 
years up the river." and when he sneerlngly tells

of the real comedy parts of tbe playlet. Mc-

Features Distributed Through Sales Company — Woman 
Scorned Again Employed as Subject with Good Results 



The coming Yankee release. Retaliation, will 
present to Yankee admirers a somewhat new

whom she has taken a liking, she has the op- 
portunity to gain the love of his brother. She

length. 

A very splendid portrayal of a simple and 
somewhat sad tale, is what one sees In this film. 
The story In short Is that of a husband losing 
his mind through overwork and Jealousy over his 
wife, and his recovery through the devotion of 
his wife, who refuses to abandon him as un- 
convertible. There is very little for actor 
to do, but the acting is good nevertheless. Al- 
though a very deep plot. It Is well brought out 
and made to seem real in every particular. The 
cast and the director deserve much credit.

ALKY. Itala. Scenic. Released August 

24. Full length. 
Many excellent scenes of daring horsemanship 
are shown in this film. The subject has been 
used many times, but the scenes here are prob- 
ably the most skillful examples of riding ever 
photographed. Picturesque scenes bave been 
chosen In which to hold the drill and exhibition, 
and in all a very Interesting film Is the result. 
There Is no time nor film wasted In drills which 
are not tests of skill.

PATENTS COMPANY. 

jnotTE'S X.VCK. Oamnont. Comedy. Length, 
405 feet. Released August 12. 
Either because of a great difference between 
American and some foreign customs or because 
of poor direction, this little sketch is terribly 
clouded In meaning and the film resolves itself 
into an ordinary scenic one, with a few scenes 
understood and entertaining. The photography 
is very good and the scenery beautiful, but as 
to the story. It is almost entirely lacking. 

THE ACADEMY GIRL. Comedy. Length, 085 
feet. Same reel as JImmle's Luck. 
The film Is nothing more or less than a 
number of scenes depicting the doing of a very 
boisterous young lady, very much of ■ tomboy. 
The effect of her actions on the villagers In 
the small town she Is visiting Is amusing to 
watch, but the main source of entertainment 
in the film Is the scenery or background for the 
girl's actions. The action is laid In the country 
and the beautiful natural scenes shown appear 
as oil paintings before the eyes. The photog- 
raphy Is nearly perfect as regards outline and 
Is most beautifully toned. The letting Is a 
foreign one and is not at ail commonplace.

young man and the sensation somewhat over

The play la meant to show the extent to 
which a , Jealous woman will go to get eves 
with the one of whom she is Jealous. It Is 
based on the lines "Heaven hath no love to 
hatred turned nor hell a fury like a wonua 
scorned" — somewhat unintelligible ones, hot 
serving as a basis of sufficient weight to build 
the story. 

The acting Is well done throughout all the 
scenes, although the director has introduce] 
many short ones which seem unnecessary. The 
action. If boiled down, or checked a little In 
speed, would fill up the space of 1,000 feet am 
make possible the elimination of these .extrs 
scenes, much to the credit of the production. 
This defect, while noticeable, does not spoil the 
film, for, as stated, it is an exceptionally good 
one, mostly for the theme itself and very 
much on account of the good acting 1b its por- 
trayal. 

A poster of much superior quality accompa- 
nies the film. The colors are in the cnstomirj 
crude shades and livid ugliness of almost all 
film posters, but the scene pictured is a flat 
one. appropriate and attractive.

I hare been asked within, the past few day* 
what seemed to me an unnecessary question, 
namely: The Value of Music as An Essential 
Part of the Theatre. 

By way of answer, I Inquired "bow would 
the theatre be able to exist without music?" 
I recall that experiments have been made 
right here In New York City within the past 
year, to do away with the theatre orchestra, by 
substituting the automatic piano, chime bells, 
the Installation of the phonograph, etc; in 
some Instances the curtain rising on a darkened 
and silent auditorium. The experiment was not 
a lasting one, and In each Instance was aban- 
doned within a night or two after the at- 
tempted Innovation. 

Music from time Immemorial baa been as 
necessary to the success of the theatre as the- 
suffering heroine's plea for mercy or the vll- 
would it be wlthont the tremolo of the or- 
chestra as an accompaniment to Its emotional 
suffering heroines plead for mercy or the vll- 
snfferlng heroine's plead for mercy or the vil- 
lain's taunting- threats possess the same effect 
were the subdued music cues omitted I What 
would a comedy drama be wlthont Its lively 
Incidental curtain music or the Introduction of 
an occasional song? Even with a so-called 
straight farce the orchestra plays an Important 
part, and when It comes to musical comedy, 
light opera and song reviews, why the theatres 
presenting such entertainments are given over 
wholly to music With this class of entertain- 
ment. It Is music first, laat and all the time. 

These conditions must be apparent to the 
most indifferent observer, and requires no fur- 
ther argument on my part to be made con- 
vincing. 

Where the value of a solitary song is con- 
cerned, I could cite Innumerable instances where 
the Introduction of an Interpolated song at a 
critical point has been the saving of the entire 
production.! Songs of this description have been 
town talk in a single night. The performance 
In its entirety may have been only mediocre, 
but the Introduced song possessed qualities both 
unique and out of the ordinary as to Idea, 
lyric, construction and melody, with the result 
that an otherwise Jaded audience have walked 
out of the theatre humming and whistling Its 
refrain, and within a night or so people have 
crowded the theatre mainly to bear this one 
particular number that has been so widely dis- 
cussed. 

I am not speaking from the viewpoint of 
the music publisher or the song writer, bnt 
simply as an observer of conditions that exist 
and will continue to be, so long aa we have the- 
atres and the public demand amusement. 

Music Is and must always be the very Ufa 
and soul of the theatre.

REMEMBER THE ANT! 



The experience of the grasshopper, 
who chirps and sings during the sea- 
son of plenty and -worries not as to his 
livelihood until too late, when Mother 
Earth presents a barren field, is known 
to each and every one of us. The im- 
mortal Esop has recorded in indelible 
ink the contrast of the laxity of this 
elongated insect to the sedulous and 
assiduous little ant, that toils with 
ceaseless energy throughout the verd- 
ant summer until the virus of au- 
tumn's chilly stings removes the life 
and nourishment from the withering 
vegetation. We are all familiar with 
the meaning of the quotation: "When 
the cicada begins to want, the ant doth 
sing." 

The moral of this little parable is 
plain and obvious to us all — but do 
we all profit by its teachings? Ah! 
There lies the distinction between the 
inactive man, who only knows, ami 
the man who executes what he knows. 
A successful beginning is always an 
auspicious omen for any enterprise 
and applies of course to all undertak- 
ings in the amusement field. Thf- 
most successful dramatic producer? 
pay as much attention to the start of 
their projects as they do to their con- 
tinuation or completion. As the pro- 
ducer of theatrical shows, so the most 
enterprising in all lines of business, 
yet there are those who loiter and dal- 
ly throughout the so-called off-months 
and annually gaze in open-eyed horror 
at the multiplicity of duties necessary 
just before their busy season com- 
mences. 

Not that the park promoters are 
particularly guilty of this offense, but. 
because the fag end of their industry 
for 1911 is rapidly appronching is this 
nttle sermon directed at them. Park- 
men, do not let the celebration of your 
successful park season persist too 
long. Remember the ant, that com- 



mences to ply Its trade of hording Its 
sustenance for the long and discourag- 
ing winter months, when its fellow in- 
sect begins his fatal song — If you do 
not heed the advice, you will mourn 
the consequences. 

Really, the imprint of the final fare- 
well footstep from your amusement 
grounds on the last day of the season, 
is your cue to prepare for next season. 
As Frederic Thompson, the philo- 
sophic proprietor of Luna Park, Co- 
ney Island, New York, aptly phrases 
it: "The windup of one season marks 
the inception of the next," And so it 
should be. How powerful, but how fu- 
tile is the cry of the dilatory proprietor 
as the days before the spring opening 
of h is park rapidly grow less and less: 
"Why didn't I think of that before? 
What was the matter with me that I 
didn't negotiate with this or that con- 
cessionaire or amusement device man- 
ufacturer in plenty of time?" But what 
avails his repentance at the eleventh 
hour? He had better control his out- 
bursts of regret and sobs of contrition. 
Thus It happens that the remissness of 
many an amusement resort manager 
forfeits a really meritorious patron- 
age-compelling device and substitutes 
an inferior one, because he awakens 
to his duties at too late a date. He 
can not attribute his discomfort to the 
amusement device manufacturer. This 
earnest fellow warns against delay to 
the limit of his capacity, but when he 
can gain no audience his sweet advice 
is wasted on the desert air. 

Few habitually dilatory amusement 
promoters realize that their inactiv-

Managers of Theatres 

Managers of attractions are now routing their shows for the 
season of 191 1-12, and they would like to know something about 
your theatre. 

If you want to secure plenty of good shows and make money 
out of your theatre, you would do well to get in touch right now 
with managers who are preparing to send shows on the road. 

An advertisement stating that you would like to secure at- 
tractions, giving the size of your theatre and population to draw 
from, will bring the desired results if inserted regularly in 

THE BILLBOARD. 



ity often costs them thousands of dol- 
lars. They never feel the loss of this 
money because it never reaches the 
till — but they would soon feel the ad- 
vantage of it if they were to win it for 
their, pockets. With what they often 
toss to the winds, they could recoat 
the resort with fresh paint or cover 
at least part of their advertising ap- 
propriation. 

Accept this little editorial advice; 
commence the reconstruction, altera- 
tion or improvement of your park at 
once — don't wait for the balmy spring 
days to arouse you to your duties. 

Parkmen. join the group of far-see- 
ing managers and get as much as pos- 
sible of next season's preparation off 
your hands before the dawn of the new 
year. If you do, you will never regret 
the feeling of calm repose that will be 
yours at the commencement of your 
next year's operations. A. K. G.

FORTUNES MADE IN THE AMUSE- 
MENT CALLING. 

(Continued f rom last week.* 

Denman Thompson, whose one. great success. 
The Old Homestead, has drawn more money 
probably than -any -lay, was. by no means a 
man of wealth and the snectacle of this grand 
old man of the stage, after passing his seventy - 
flfth blrthdar, succumbing to the temptations of 
vaudeville. Is not an exhilarating one. There 
are many instances where stars who have held 
long sway and whom the public have paid hom- 
age to, for time Immemorial, have been burled 
by the Actors' Fund, but nothing Is to be 
trained by the recital at this time of the specini 
cases, though they' are exceedingly numerous 
and significant. 

In the musical- world, where fabulous earn- 
ings are a matter of common comment, large 
fortunes have been accumulated by compara- 
tively few. Adellna Pattl. who at all periods 
of her unexampled career has been by far the 
highest paid artiste In the world. Is of course 
wealthy, though, aside from her castle "Cralg- 
Y-Nos and her collection of valuable jewels and 
treasures, her personal fortune Is not as large 
as would be expected from one who has aver- 
aged an bonorarlnm of $4,000 a night during 
her long career. This Is to be explained partly 
by the fact that the diva did not sing more 
than three times a week or ten times a month. 

Jean De Reszke and his brother Edouard are 
millionaires, and large fortunes are possessed 
hy Mines. Sembrlch, Scbumann-Helnk (who came 
to the Metropolitan Opera House first at a sal- 
nry of $250.00 a week and Is today able to 
earn In excess of $4,000 In the same period). 
Emma Karnes and Slgnor Caruso, while one of 
the wealthiest singers In the world Is Francesco 
Tnmagno. whose reputation for economy hss of- 
ten been referred to In a spirit of rldllule in 
the press. 

Thomas Salvlnl was a millionaire when he 
came to America the first time In 1873, snd 
he too. has often been credited with much close- 
ness and even creed by bis biographers. 



The difference between the earnings of great 
musicians of the past compared with those whs 
bold forth today. Is well Illustrated by a com. 
parlson of the American tours of Anton Ruhin- 
steln and Ignace Paderewskl. The former came 
to America In 1872 for one hundred concerts un- 
der Maurice Grau. wbo had Just then emer-ed 
from Columbia college and Inaugurated his man- 
agerial career. Rubinstein was granted an hon- 
orarium of (200.00 per concert, and be so re- 
sented this failure to allot him a fair figure 
that be avowed be would never return here, no 
matter what the Inducements were. ■ and this 
vow be has kept. At a later date the sams 
impresario made frantic but fruitless efforts t» 
prevail on the great Russian pianist to come 
hither, offering as high as $2,000 per concert! 
Paderewskl on the other hand made several 
tours of this country which yielded him, even 
when he was not his own manager, more than 
$100,000 tor half the number of concerts which 
Rubinstein gave. 

Appearing with Rubinstein was the violinist, 
WIeniawskI, undoubtedly the greatest artist in 
his field that ever visited America, yet he was 
paid exacUy $100 for each abearance — but one 
tenth of the sum which Is now earned by Ysaye 
or Kubellk on tour berel 

Fortunes from playwrltlng In America, while 
few In number, are still worthy of note. Three 
decades ago Bartley Campbell suffered many 
privations before his first great success. The 
Galley Slave, was launched, and a few years 
ago. In another generation. Eugene Walter, 
whose Paid iu Full has earned nearly a half 
million of dollars, was tolling as a press agent 
— and this, while the very play referred to, and 
others from bis pen which hare since scored 
triumphs, wire being neglected In the offices of 
a prominent theatrical firm. Eugene Walter 
is now one of the most prolific writers, and his 
Income from- his plays Is said to be In excess 
of $100,000 a year. 

Charles Klein, who wrote The Music Maimer, 
The Third Degree and The Lion and the Mouse 
as well as various librettos for comic operas, is 
perhaps the most resourceful of the writers of 
the stage today and bis Income corresponds. 
These achievements of American playwrights 
are all the more notable when one considers that 
It is not so long ago that a play from the pen 
of an American author was regarded with much 
skepticism. 

A recital of the fortunes and earnings In the 
amusement calling would be incomplete. If it 
did not embrace tbose who figure in the artistic 
department of the vaudeviUe. May Irwin if 
accounted in the millionaire class, and though a 
great portion of her career was spent in musical 
and farce comedy. It Is as a vaudevlirist tbtt 
she will be most remembered. While In the 
field where once she was accorded In the height 
of her fame about $150.00 a week, sbe recently 
received $2,500 weekly for a long season for 
tbe singing of a few "coon" songs. 

Harry Lauder has the distinction of earning 
the largest- weekly stipend ever paid to s 
single vaudevllllst In tbe history of tbe stage. 
While bis salary was but $3,500 a week, hti 
manager, William Morris, was called upon to 
pay $5,000 In all. before he began to reckon bit 
other weekly expenses. This was due to the 
fact that Morris had to buy off Lauder's Eng- 
lish managers. Yet even at this extraordinary 
salary Morris bas proclaimed the clever Scot 
as tbe cheapest artist be has ever engaged. 
Lauder's period of prosperity bas not been long, 
x> that be Is by no means as wealthy as Albert 
Chevalier, who bas had a nrolonged reign ' at t 
salary of $1,750 a week, but If the many stories 
told of Lauder's penurious characteristics an 
true, then one may well wonder what hla for- 
tune will amount to when bla career -bas bsea 
fully spent. 

In Thomas Q. Seabrooke's early days In the 
profession be sometimes found It difficult to 
make ends meet, as his' first position on tbe 
stage as not very remunerative. Business called 
him one day to a broker's office, and while pa- 
tiently awaitlno- In the ante room for an in- 
terview, another gentleman. evidently a 
stranger, came in somewhat hurriedly and said: 

"Excuse me, are you tbe broker!" 

"No!" replied Seabrook sadly, "but I am tlu 
follow that la broke!"—

Resume of the Week's Important Amuse 



PHILA DELPH IA, PA. 

Electric eigne on all of the theatrical thor- 
oughfares and the finishing touches of an army 
of vacuum cleaners and decorators has left all 
In xeadlness for the 1911-1912 season, which 
from the present ontlook will be complete with 
excellent offerings. From the bookings al- 
ready made here there will be an abundance of 
Brand new productions and scores of those which 
hare won success. 

The Walnut Street Theatre, for instance, 
wfiich inaugurates the 104th season with The 
Arab, September 4, will have nothing but new 
plays., according to Manager Henry B. Harris. 
Mr. Harris acquired the boose too late In the 
season last year to carry out this Idea, but 
his achievement was to place The Country Boy 
there for a run .that broke all records In this 
dry. After the first production In rapid suc- 
cession will follow Robert Bdeson in The Cave- 
man, by Gillette Burgess; Helen Ware In The 
Price, by George Broadhurst: The Professor's 
Wife, a new play by Elmer Harris; The Com- 
muters, James Forbes* comedy, which was pre- 
vented: froa- appearing here , last season by its 
great success In Boston. " 

At the end of Hose Stahl's run in Haggle 
Pepper, - at Mr. Harris' Hudson Theatre, New 
York, Hiss Stahl will come to Philadelphia, to- 
gether with Frank Mcln tyre, in his new play. 
Cbanncey Olcott will, of course, make bis annual 
Christmas week visit in Macushla. 

There are a number of other productions 
which Mr. Harris Is not yet prepared to an- 
nounce, which will give the old historic Wal- 
nut the aDoearance of a metropolitan theatre. 
- It la too early In the season to give more than 
a mere outline of the attractions booked for 
Philadelphia houses, but the bookings made by 
Nixon and Zimmerman are an indication of 
more than ordinary . interest. 

The Chestnut Street Opera House's opening 
attraction is The Girl In the Taxi, scheduled 
for September 18. . The Broad win open Octo- 
ber 16, according to present plans, with Charles 
Cherry and company In Seven Sisters. Robert 
HWiard. In the perennial A Fool There Was. 
will , open the Garrick en October 2. Other 
Nixon and Zimmerman bookings are: The Spring 
Maid; Ethel Barrymore in a new play. Gypsy 
tore? the new Vlenns-je operetta by Fraxz te- 
har. with Marguerite Sylva as the star: The 
Quaker Girl, a London mimical comedy; Julian 
BlHnge In The Fascinating Widow; Maud Adams 
far 1 Chantlcler: itbe comedy. Excuse Me; Follies 
1911; John Drew In a new play. Dr. Deluxe; 
Elsie Janla In The Slim Princess; Naslmova In 
repertoire; Blanche Bates In Nobody's Widow; 
The Fortune Vunter: Blllle Burke in a new play; 
Donald Brian In The Siren; Get-Ktch-Qulck 
Walllngford; Seven Days; Naughty Marietta 
and Madame Sherry. 

■ The new musical comedy that Charles Froh- 
man will present for the first time In America 
at Atlantic City. August 21. will serve as the 
vehicle for the debut of Donald Brian as, a star. 
The title of the production Is The Siren. The 
Siren 1b by Leo Stein and A. M. Wlllner, with 
the music by Leo Fan, composer of The Dollar 
Princess. The cast will include Julia Sander- 
son. Elizabeth Firth. Frank Moulan, Will West. 
F. Pope- Stamper, Florence Morrison and Mora 
Mannertng. 

The Lyric, one of the Shubert houses, will open 
August 21 with Miss Jack, a musical play. In 
which Bothwell Brown, impersonator of female 
types, .will be the star. The piece Is in three 
acts, with music from the pens of Mark B. 
Swan and William Frederick Peters. Mr. Brown 
will be supported by a cast including Olive 
Ulrlch. Suzanne Rocamora. Hazel Cox, Jonathan 
Keefe. Frank Bernard. Carl Stall and May Mc- 
Cabe. and a dancing chorus of thirty. 

The vehicle has been heralded as -the -best 
thing- since the Three Twins, and will be un- 
der the direction of Ben Sanger. 

Closely following upon the heels of Miss Jack 
will be such successes as Alma and The Spring 
Maid, while later In the season Jefferson Dec 
Angel is in the musical comedy. The Gay Lien- 
tenant, will apvear for a -lengthy engagement. 
A glance at the season's complete bookings 
would belle -the talk of last year that musical 
comedies and girl shown Were soe-n to be con- 
signed to the scran heao of theatrical enter- 
prises. 

What may be regarded as the opening ef the 
fall season in vaudeville Is the astonishing ar- 
ray of talent which will be enjoyed at the B. 
F. Keith Theatre during September. Among the 
features for that month will be Mclntyre and 
Heath. Emma Cams. The Wonderful EIngaga 
Troupe, from abroad: Paul Dicky and Company 
In a sketch entitled The Come Back: Frank Orth 
In The Wrong Hero: The Frey Twins and Com- 
pany In Pastimes in Palaestra: Roberty's Danc- 
ers, from the ■ Fblies Bergere of Paris. Mr. 
Keith's latest importation, and » score of 
other big acta. 

Two big stars who will appear early In the 
fall will be Roth St. Denis and Lillian Russell. 
The date of Miss Russell's appearance has 
been set tar a week in October. 

Manager J. Fred Zimmerman, since Ks return 
to Philadelphia after his summer vacation, has 
been active In closing contracts for various de- 
tails of his new KeysVine Theatre, Eleventh 
Street and Lehigh Avenue, which la now under 
toof. M. W. Taylor, who has charge of Zlm.

m number «f European novelties for the opening

Heidelberg Building. New York. 

Th» William Penn Theatre will reopen August 
21. Suing the summer Manager Miller has 
great!? beautified .the house with a large force 
of decorators. Leo Gerson will again direct the 
orchestra, and It la intended to make the over- 
ture one of the features of the bills. The stage 
crew wlB he in charge of Charles Diet*. Three, 
•hows a day win be given. 



Burlesque has had its formal opening In the 
four houses divided between the Eastern and 
Western Wheels, and everything points to the 
fact- that this form of entertainment will have 
a thriving season here. 

Robie's Knickerbockers will usher In the reg- 
ular season at the Gayety Theatre August 21. 
This organization has a long record of con- 
tinued success since it was first put out in 1897 
with Edna Aug as the feature. 

Only the rare presence of mind of an employee 
of the General Film Company's plant, at 42 
North lOrth Street, Philadelphia, prevented the 
destruction of the structure by fire last Satur- 
day. A customer placed the end of a Il-hted 
cigarette against a roll of film, and the next 
instant there was a flash of flame. The em- 
ployee calmly grasped the burning reel and 
hurled it Into the street before It had a chance 
to spread to the stacks of the inflammable ma- 
terial. As the burning mass fell in the street 
an excited pedestrian turned In two fire alarms, 
and as the plant Is in the congested business dis- 
trict and dangerous fire zone, scores of fire com* 
panics responded and noon hour crowds added 
to the excitement. The employee refused to dis- 
close his Identity and continued with his work 
while the army of Are engines arrived on the 
scene. • . 

On the same night a panic was caused In the 
Crystal Palace, 330 South Street, by a rat run- 
ning down ,the aisle. The theatre was filled and 
the screams of several hysterical girls caused 
several to cry fire, "several were slightly in- 
jured in the excitement which followed, and 
the affair would' have proven serious had it not 
been for the immediate arrival of the police 
and fire companies. 

Frank Dumont. manager of the old Fmnont 
Minstrels, an organization ithat has come to 
be eCmost an Institution in Philadelphia, and 
which became temporarily homeless after the 
old historic Eleventh Street Opera House was 
torn down recently, after half a century as the 
home of black-face comedy, has leased the old 
Dime Museum Building. Ninth and Arch Streets, 
where extensive alterations are under way for 
the opening, September 16. 

W. £ ay ton Wegefarth. manager of the Grand 
Opera House, has again demonstrated his versa- 
tility by writing a virile, absorbing detective 
tale, entitled The Blonde, which Is appearing 
In a current magazine issue, 

STANLEY RDSHTON. 



BALTIMORE, MD. 

The Academy of Music Is now a scexe of ac- 
tivity and looks more like a huge workshop 
than a theatre. The -interior of the building is 
being renovated In a manner that baa never 
been attempted since the house waa erected 
Everything has been done In the way of 1m 
provementa - to comply with the new code of 
regulations applying to public buildings. Al- 
though the theatre was built more than 20 
years ago, it compares with any structure of 
recent date. The building was well constructed 
and it covers more. ground than any theatre in 
the country, and is used exclusively for amuse- 
ment purposes.- There are.no buildings adjoin- 
ing and the two courts which separate the thea- 
tre from other buildings bave been improved 
with concrete inclines leading up to the doors. 
The dressing-rooms have been repapered and 
finished In white enamel. The equipment about 
the stage Is up-to-date In every detail, and 
every modern device for the handling of scenery 
and lighting effects has been installed. 

It has been announced that The Pink Lady 
has been chosen for the opening production. . A 
noteworthy feature la that Mr. Tunis F. Dean, 
a Baltimorean born and bred, after a lapse of 
man" years, returns to resume his former place 
as manager. In former years the management 
was known as Harris, Britton and Dean. 

Al. Reeves* Show was the opening attraction 
at the Gayety, August 6, end despite the warm 
weather business was good. Among his beau- 
ties Is an attractive Baltimore girl, entitled 
Miss Marie Brandon, and who la known to the 
folks at tome as Marie Brenneman. She Is a 
specialist In toe and wooden-shoe 1 dancing. 

An incident which will be set down as -his- 
torical occurred . on the platform of the new 
Pennsylvania Station, August 10. The date was 
the opening of the Centennial Exposition - at 
Astoria, Ore., and it was arranged for President 
Taft to touch the button that was to start the 
festivities. This ceremony was to take place In 
the White House, after 6 p. m. President Taft 
had arranged to go to his summer home on the 
same day and his train left Washington at 
5.35. Aa he had decided to take this train, he 
could not touch the signal in Washington, so he 
bit upon a plan of carrying out this purpose in 
Baltimore. The local railroad officials were 
hastily communicated with and informed of the 
matter. Within fifteen minutes after the com- 
mand had been given, several ll>emen bad a 
telegraph instrument ready for business 15 
feet from the track where the President's car 
was to stop. The train pulled in about 6.30. 
and as the President had come unannounced the 
people about the station were surprised at his 
appearance and were wondering what was going 
on. Major Butt and Secretary Hilles and a 
number of secret service men escorted the Presi- 
dent to the table upon which the telegraph key 
rested. 

"Well, here's to Astoria." said the President, 
as he pressed the button which flashed a signal 
across the continent that rang a gong In the 
stadium to announce , the starting of the celebra- 
tion. Many passengers on the Boston Ex- 
press got off to witness the affair, and the 
President received an ovation from the crowd. 
As the President started back to his car, one 
of the passengers remarked: "It's only a 
tick in Baltimore, but it means -the booming of 
cannons in Oregon." 

August 80 will be a great day at Blver 
View Park. Through the Baltimore News, 2,000 
newsboys win gather at the -park and enjoy 
everything to their heart's content. Every at- 
traction on the grounds will be free to the 
boys. The United Railways and Electric Co. 
will provide 20 special ears to convey the boys 
to the park. Manager William J. Gahan is ar- 
ranging to entertain the newsies. 
. Howard Le Van has been engaged to give 
aeroplane flights at Bay Shore Park. He Is 
under the direction of Charles J. Strobel. He 
is expected to make an altitude of not lest than 
1,000 feet He will give two flight* daily. 



The Industrial and Pure Food Exposition will 
be a great affair. The Navy Department, 
through Mr. Beekman Winthrop, Acting Secre- 
tary of the Navy, has agreed to lend several 
models of warships to be placed on exhibition 
here. The models will include the North Da- 
kota, Brooklyn, Oregon, Saratoga and other 
modern sea fighters. 

Attorneys for Harry Atwood furnished a bond 
of $400 and secured the release of his aeroplane 
which was attached by Rice's Garage for an 
alleged automobile bill of $113. The bond was 
given to cover any damages that may be awarded 
the complainant against him. The release was 
signed by Judge Burke at Towson when the 
bond was filed. The machine was shipped to 
Chicago, and will be used in flights across the 
country to New York. 

Many clergymen were Invited to witness the 
pictures depicting Dante's Inferno at the Audi- 
torium Theatre. These pictures were prepared 
at great expense and are- marvels of pictorial 
art. This exhibition marks their first presenta- 
tion In America. The house was crowded at 
each performance to witness the wonderful 
films. The pictures made a great impression 
and the audiences were conspicuously represen- 
tative and refined. They were presented under 
the direction of Mr. Ed. Mozart. 

Miss Norah Leahy, the star feature of the 
diving girls show at River View, was stricken 
with heart failure while performing her dives 
August 13. She had ascended the steps to i lie 
diving board and was about to perform her feat 
of diving 30 feet into the tank when she fell 
into the water. With presence of mind she held 
herself at the side of the - tank. Attendants 
quickly picked her np out of the water and 
took her to the dressing-room. Thinking that 
she had fainted they applied restoratives with- 
out avail. She was unconscious and was sent 
to St. Joseph's Hospital. She was given treat- 
ment and It Is said that she will recover, as 
her condition has Improved very much since 
being there. MIsb Leahy Is an expert swim- 
mer and several years ago swam 17 miles from 
New York to Coney Island. 

SYLVAN SC HBNTHAL. 

ST. L OUIS , MO. 

This week In St. Louis began more event- 
fully than most of its predecessors, from the 
fact that two of oar downtown theatres opened 
for their winter, season. We also had the 
opening of our once-a-year carnival, and with 
the starting of Atwood in aeroplane flight to 
New York, made much of interest to us in 
an amusement way. The chief events of the 
week follow below. 

The carnival given by the Royal Arcanum 
Lodge of this city at New Prlester's Park be- 
gan on August 14 - and is to run for one 
week. It is for the benefit of their hospital 
fund. The attendance has begun good and with 
the best of weather, should net them a neat 
sum. There are thirty-five concessions and a 
number of- pay shows, the most popular of 
which is Charlie L. Downs' Georgia Minstrels. 
The, Eastern Theatrical Exchange of this city 
booked all the attractions and a splendid week 
Is looked for. 

The Standard Theatre opened its season on 
Sunday, August 14, and while this theatre waa 
thoroughly remodeled last year, everything had 
received a new coat of paint, draperies and 
carpets throughout. The Increased number of 
electric lights this year gave the theatre a 
pretty appearance on opening night. The open- 
ing attraction this season was The Cozy Corner 
Girls, a burlesque performance without the 
usual. olio, and all seemed to enjoy it better. 
The company Is headed by Crimmlns and Gore, 
and with bright new costumes and effects, the 
show went with much enthusiasm and, although 
the weather was hot, the attendance has been 
good. Manager Leo Relchenbach Is again in 
charge of the house and all his assistants remain 
as last year. 

The .Columbia Theatre opened its season on 
August 14. and as In last season, vaudeville 
was the program. The house, outside of be- 
ing thoroughly renovated, is the - same in Its 
decorations and management. 

Alber's Polar Bears are the chief vaudeville 
attraction at the Princess Theatre and, with 
motion pictures in conjunction, this house has 
been keeping up Its remarkable attendance rec- 
ord. Manager Dan S. FIshell will continue with 
motion pictures and vaudeville Indefinitely. 

Delmar Garden is this week nutting on a 
revival of the popular opera, H. M. S. Pinafore, 
and are having a good week with It. Most 
of the principals and chorus are leaving tor 
their winter rehearsals and Manager Dan S. 
FJshell is finding It hard to replace them. 

Forest Park Highlands continues to be the 
popular garden In the way of attendance, and 
with Cavallo's Band again In its stand, the 
attendance is more than pleasing to, the man- 
agement. 

Suburban GarV.en opened Its second week with 
Charlotte Walker as the star. This week's 
production Is The Inferior Sex. and is scoring a 
big hit. One of the bright spots In the per- 
formance is Mr. Horace Porter's cockney di- 
alect. 

West End Heights began 1*3 last week with 
the Jossey Stock Company and are putting on 
an excellent performance of The Blue Mouse. 
Miss Velma Whitman ia inpeclally good in the 
title role. 

Mansion's Park Is having s splendid sessen. 
Vaudeville Is their chief attraction. 
. The Bijou-Dream Theatre has for their special 
attraction this week Joseph Clary, the Joplin 
miner, wko was buried alive for three days 
and nights a few weeks ago. The attraction 
has Increased their business. 

Miss Leonora Novaslo, who has made such 
a success of her work with the Delmar Opera 
Company here this season, leaves for Chicago, 
where she will l»-gune a part of the cast of 
one of the large musical .comedy companies that 
will start from there this season. 

Miss Jean Mercet. one of the most popular 
ingenues that has played the Suburban Garden 
In many years, left the company this week and 
has gone to New York, where she will begin 
rehearsals for her winter tour. 

It Is said that Sullivan & Consldlne bave 
purchased or leased the Garrlck Theatre here 
for the purpose of Installing their vaudeville 
in St. Louis this winter. This house was the 
first built and -controlled by the Shuberts and 
means that only one Sbubcrt theatre will be 
operated here tbls winter. 



"Useless" Is the name of the canine used 
by George Thatcher In his production of George 
Washington Jr., played at Delmar Garden tbls 
early spring. It has become such a favorite 
with the company that all are claiming it, and 
a merry scramble is in stare to see who will get 
the dog. Manager FIshell stated that the dog 
has never missed a rehearsal during the sum- 
mer and is really a prize. 

Roscoe Buckley, who began bis theatrical 
career as assistant treasurer at the Garrick 
Theatre early last season, and who has been 
a member of the Suburban Stock Company 
here this summer, will become associated with 
Mr. Charles Dickson in his new play. The Gol- 
den Rule Limited, this winter. Although only 
his first year as an actor, bis advancement has 
been rapid and much is expected from him In 
the future. 

The Gayety Theatre, which will open lta 
season August 30, will be almost entirely a 
new house, as Improvements have been most 
extensive. C. L. Walters, who will manage 
the house this year, has the Vanity Fair Bur- 
lesquers for the opening attraction.

Is a very busy city clerk who has been trying 
to locate this show and get them to change the 
Kansas City date. Just what success he has 
had no one knows as yet, for the posters still 
bear the date of September 4. There is an 
ordinance here prohibiting the giving of ex- 
hibitions, circuses and tbe like on July 4. 
Labor Day and Christmas. As September 4 Is 
Labor Day this year, hence the trouble as above.

RICH MOND , VA. 

Almost on the eve of the opening of the 
Empire Theatre, the largest and most important 
house of the new Virginia Circuit of which M. 
L. Hofheimer Is the head and controlling factor, 
a clash has occurred between Mr. Hofheimer 
and Harry Bernstein, general manager of the 
circuit, culminating ln the summary dismissal 
of Mr. Bernstein. 

"I am no longer associated with any of the 
Hofheimer enterprises. 1 am greatly disap- 
pointed ln Mr. Hofheimer. That's all I care 
to say. I prefer to not discuss the immedlste 
canse of the rupture." says Bernstein. 

"I dismissed Mr. Bernstein for the good of 
the service. I guess that's the most difjomatlc 
way to put It. I don't care to discuss the 
cause." That's the way Hofheimer talks about 
It. 

The unexpected separation is the absorbing 
topic of discussion in theatrical circles here- 
abouts. The surprise expressed Is due to the 
well-known fsct that the clans and policies to 
govern the Hofheimer theatres were largely sug- 
gested and mapped out by Bernstein, who was 
for some years on the managerial staff of the' 
Leath and Wells Companies, which to this time 
virtually are In possession of the theatrical 
field in this state. 

It is definitely ascertained that the arrange- 
ments made for opening the Empire as a musical 
comedy theatre, playing attractions 52 weeks 
In the year, have been suddenly knocked higher 
than Gilroy's kite. Just what Hofheimer may 



have up his sleeve remains to be seen, but at 
this writing the policy of tbe Empire, which la 
receiving its finishing touches, Is a matter of 
conjecture. Mr. Hofheimer himself is unable 
to specify. 

For the first time ln the Southern country 
the kinemacolor pictures, with The Coronation 
of King George as the photoplay subject, were 
unfolded to the public view at the Academy 
of Music this week. The innovation won liberal 
patronage, the exhibitions being wholly suc- 
cessful and scoring a big bit with amusement 
seekers. The regular dramatic season will be 
inaugurated at the Academy August 29, with 
Tbe Bed Bose as tbe opening attraction. Leo 
Wise will continue ln the manager's office, re- 
taining as his treasurer Charles E. Brlgga. 
Practically all of the house staff have been re- 
engaged for the new season.

Clarence Hamilton Retains Title by Defeating Henry Becker 
at Riverview Rink, Chicago — Milwaukee Rink Manager 
Returns After Long Trip of Investigation 



CHICAGO RINK NEWS. 



Chicago. August 18 (Special to The Billboard). 
Clarence Hamilton, world's- champion profes- 
sional roller racer, and balling from Boston, 
retained bis title as cnamplon at Riverview Kink 
last week when he defeated Henry Becker, 
city cnamplon, and probably the smallest racer 
In the money game today. The series consisted 
of three- races, tbe first going to Becker by a 
close margin, the second was won by Hamilton 
by ten. feet, and the third and deciding race 
was the' closest match race ever seen in this 
city. The last race brought a record-breaking, 
crowd out to tbe amusement- park rink, each 
skater having all of his friends ont to root for 
him- Becker, being a local boy. had the ad- 
vantage, being on bis own track, while Hamil- 
ton has been the winner of several . world's 
championship races on the banked track several 
years ago. so knew something of: the peculiari- 
ties of tbe turns. When Starter Salligan placed 
the boys on the mark ready for the start, the 
crowd was so large that roles were made nec- 
essary for tbe overflow on tbe track and extra' 
Judges .were placed on tbe corners by Secretary 
Kalteux. At the crack of tbe gun Becker Jumped 
In tbe lead amidst great applause, taking the 
lead for four laps, when Hamilton was forced to 
set the nace for two laps. Becker, seeing a 
good opportunity of getting the lead, shot ont In 
front with two laps to go and bad a ten-foot 
lead *n the Boston flyer and the crowd cbeered 
the Riverview Rink star as he flew past the 
grandstand, expecting Manager Harmon's skater 
to win. but on taking tbe last torn Becker 
skated wide and Hamilton, going like a Dying 
machine, crept in and held the rail . until the 
finish, when he nosed out Beck by little less 
than a foot. Hamilton, by bis • victory, was 
forced to skate out before the crowd several 
times and receive tbelr applause for having won 
the best match race ever seen at tbe Northslde 
rink. ../ 

Fred Marten of California won the one-mile 
professional race last Sunday ereoing wnen be 
beat Al Krneger by a nose In one of the best 
finishes ever seen In tbe . professional races. 
Krneger. np to last Sunday, bad been skating 
as an amateur and was by far the best In his 
class, but since Manager .Harmon "irad- beea-dts- 
contlnning the amateur events. Krneger de- 
cided to try for the . money prizes. . He was 
looked upon to beat Marten — being in tbe same 
clam as Becker — bnt after being in the lead 
until the last lap slipped at tbe turn and lost 
by a few inches. John McDonald was a close 
third. The time was fast, being made In 
2:37 2-3. FRANK KALTEUX.

Chicago boy was too much for him and he bad 
to bow to his superior. When Mr. Curtis was 
declared tbe winner by a score of 47 points to 
41. Mr. Swift took his defeat manfully and 
skated up to Mr. Curtis and pinned the Dia- 
mond Medal on his breast. The above picture 
was taken at that time. Mr. Curtis snccess- 
. fully defended the medal for five years, against 
all comers, and took It with him when be went

NOTES FROM THE H ATCH SHOWS 

The big I* Base Electric Fountain has two 
sew banners, making the total frontage of tbelr 
banner line; 70. feet. This show has been doing 
a record-breaking . business for the season and 
up to the present week have not lost a night on 
account of rain, and only one on the season, 
due to the lack of water pressure. • Mr. La 
Rose has been In Chicago practically every day 
-for the past two weeks, .getting out a new line 
■of wardrobe and props for a number of original 
features for the state fairs. The Fountain 
Is some show. Frank I*. Potts and wife were 
visitors at the Fountain this week; Frank L. 
was formerly a partner of George La Bose in a 
ciuslcal act, but is now permanently located in 
Chicago, where he has several flats, but still he 
and bis wife troupe once In a while. 
„ J. Frank, the Governor, took n flying trip to 
Oe» Moines, la., to look after the interests of 
the water circus. This show Is ,a decided nov- 
eltv and is doing a big business. 

We had quite a lot of trouble getting off the 
lot in Aurora, 111., due to the fact that the lot 
was formerly a lake; broke down a number of 
n'agons, delaying some of the Bhows in tbelr 
opening. This was the same lot as was used 
by the Two Bills' Show when they played tbe 
town; it took twenty teams to poll them off the 
lot. 

Oe Kreko Brothers, who had the Oriental 
Sbow at tbe White City, Chicago, closed there 
two weeks ago and brought the entire show over 
and combined with the company they had here, 
to play the atpte, fairs. . This show gardes 18 
people, and Is one of the largest oriental shows 
on the road. 

All the shows report good business. Only a 
short time now before the big state fairs and 
then comes tbe real work. 

JOB BLAKE. 

SMITH SHOWS WELL REPRE- 
SENTED. 

Wilbur 3. Oherry. general representative of 
the Smith Greater Shows, called at the office 
of Tbe Billboard last Wednesday after arrang- 
ing for the appearance of his big show In Day- 
ton, 0„ after which tt wUl be beaded South. 

Mr. Cherry reports business as being excep- 
tionally good and that the Smith Shows are be- 
coming bigger and stronger every year. No 
doubt tbe success of the smith Shows Is largely 
due to the tireless efforts of Mr. Cherry, who 
has been with the Smith Shows for six years 
and has declined numerous propositions to 
launch carnival companies of his own. 



CARNIVAL CONVERSATION. 
By "S EP OK IOK." 

Have a look! Have a thought as well! The 
best half of the season is now at hand. May 
large profits come to all of you. 

I am a carnival company. Description — A 
lead pencil promoter plans a grand opening. 
The day arrives for the "grand opening." On 
the lot he. finds himself a merry-go-round and 
a chewing gum pick-out. He then bravely 
walks to the center of the lot and proclaims 
to the assembled multitude of four or five that 
lie is "a carnival company." A few moments 
later be is not seen leaving town; but be, nev- 
ertheless, leaves. Why Is It thust 

John Caswell, known to many carnival people 
through his association with Frank C. Bostock. 
is managing tbe Mohawk IMnes, a park at 
Troy. N. Y. John Is great on details: a fact 
tiarticularly noticeable upon entering his. park. 

Real progressiveness lies In creating oppor- 
tunities, not In waiting for them. 

Herbert C. Tice Is the right band man for 
"enry Meyerhoff In the fair and carnival busi- 
ness in which he Is interested. I understand 
that Meyerhoff has the direct booking of eighty? 
Ore -fairs. If true. It Is the record. 

Every carnival company which has played la 
Indiana seems to find Richmond. Whyl v 

It. M. (Bob) Chambers, aside from being a 
vonii showman. Is also a good privilege man. I 
said Bob. not "Poob." - ' 

Carnival comnanles hsve been promoted under 
every known auspices except the grav-dlggers, 
crutch-makers and pretzel bakers' unions. 

Mng Kario. one of Sam Gumperts's trusty 
lieutenants In the management of the carnival 
••horns now located on the site of the Dreamland 
"re at Coney 'Island, Is also the general man- 
jeer of King Karlo'a Wild West, a really, truly 
Wild West. By the way. "King." aside from 
I'elng one of the best talkers In the business. Is 
" »o cnpahle In other capacities, as he Is now 
Plainly demonstrating to the entire satisfaction 
or Mr. Gumperta and his assoclstes. , 

Two ways carnlvsl shows are usually framed 
Jin: First— Swell front and no show on the 
'naMe. Second— Swell show on the Inside and 
no front. Suggestion— Why not combine front 
•mu show? Some do. They hsve made money, 
and 8 uu In the business. ..

with the following local committee, Eden H. 
Sbults. chairman; Charles B. Moore, secretary, 
and John H. Stephen, treasurer «>•« very prof- 
itable, due principally to the hard work done by 
them In the promoting of the local contests. 
Rahway was fair for .the shows, although Fe- 
rarl's Animal Show and Thompson's Wild West 
completely outclassed the others In point of 
magnitude. 

Have you ever seen one of these so-called 
talkers make one of those brief openings. In 
which he talked so loud and so long that he lost 
his voice before he could announce the price of 
admission'? I heard one last week. He has my 
sympathy. 

Joseph G. Ferari also has an animal sbow 
which you will find under the direction (as to 
performances) of Capt. Jack Bonavita. he of 
the twenty-seven lion act fame, and an interna- 
tional reputation as a trainer. Joseph G. Fe- 
rari. and not Francis Ferari, has had his show 
at Coney Island all season, and It Is doubtful if 
any show of its kind has received the like 
amount of publicity, due to the burning of 
Dreamland Park. This show opens its road tour 
at the Wilkes-Barre Fair. 

It would be well to keep your eyes open for 
some surprises next season, as Joseph G. leaves 
for France In October, to look them over on the 
other side. The rivalry existing between these 
two showmen will no doubt work for the good 
of the business. . 

What about that West Virginia law regarding 
carnivals? Wildcat outfits caused all tbe rum- 
pus. - - 

Leon M. Hewitt, formerly connected with 
Layton. Barkoot and others, has retired from

If yon must have lady cashiers, oh. please, 
oh. please, get those that are smiling and pleas- 
ant. There are too many In the business now 
who commute from Grouchvllle. 

E. J. Hayden. the banner man of Brooklyn, 
says: "The carnjval business is what General 
Sherman said war was."' Now find out what 
Sherman said. ■ i ■ 

Harry B. Sutton was some talker. Harry and, 
his wife are now In vaudeville and other places. 

K. H. Harney , of Brooklyn has a growing busi- 
ness in tbe handling* of portable show lights. 
Showmen in that vicinity will find Harney a 
good man' to call oh. , He certainly knows the 
business. „ .. .,

Minnesota State Fair Association Plans Fair that Will Eclipse 
All Past Events in Splendor and Industrial Worth — Illinois 
Legislature Appropriates $500,000 for State Fair 



MINNESOTA STATE FAIR.

are booked tor the Minnesota State Fair, to be 
held at Hamline, between Minneapolis and St. 
Part. Sept. 4 to 9. Eight bands and orchestras 
win contribute to the mnslcal entertainment 
of patrons. Races will be held every afternoon 
to the week, horse-racing- occupying the first 
four days of .the week and automobile racing 
the last two days. The live-stock and horse- 
show will eclipse that of any previous year, and 
there will be a large and extensive horticultural 
exhibit Including fruits and Sowers. Forty per 
cent of the counties of the state will be rep- 
resented by exhibits as well as several of the 
agricultural high-schools. The champion batter 
cow of the world, whose owner Is a Mionesotan, 
will also be seen at this fair, and other ex- 
hibits Include an automobile exhibit. . Industrial 
and commercial exhibits, farm Implements and 
mactiinery, agricultural college exhibit, wool 
exhibit, fish and game, ponies exhibit, Minne- 
sota lace exhibit, woman's department exhibit, 
art exhibit, cattle exhibit, Dan Patch, the 
world's famous race horse, who Is also owned 
and kept in Minnesota, and many free attrac- 
tions which will be the best that could be ob- 
tained anywhere. 

Every evening before the grandstand will be 
given a great firework and spectacular effect. 
Pain's Battle In the Clouds, and other modes of 
amusement Include a ladles' 24-mile relay 
race, chariot races, aeroplane flights and many 
others of equal interest. 

An encampment *f the Boy Scouts of America 
will be- held upon the grounds beginning Thurs- 
day nl»ht. September 7. and the boys will give 
■ program of sports and events Illustrative of 



sary, for Illinois bids fair to lose Its conceded 
head in the state fair line. 

The recent legislature gave the Board «t 
Agriculture $125,000 for a sheep and -*srfne 
pavilion. $75,000 for a mammoth horse barn, 
and $15,000 for additional toilet facilities. 

Excepting the latter the improvements will 
not be made this year, owing to the shortness 
of time. Last year the Board of Agriculture 
expended all the profit from the fair for per- 
manent Improvements, nearly $30,000. 



BIG FAIR FOR VANCOUVER. 

Vancouver, B. C, August 19 (Special to The 
Billboard). — The 1911 Vancouver Exhibition la 
an assured success, providing the weather man 
behaves. It will rightfully earn its title or 
"Canada's Big Fair." 

Every section of Canada and the Northwestern 
States will be represented. The mineral, fruit 
and industrial exhibits will be the ones most 
largely represented. The horse show will be 
one of the chief features, and as Vancouver has 
a reputation second to none for the quality of 
its horse shows, this show will prove very at- 
tractive. The horse show pavilion is the larg- 
est of its kind in Canada and has a seating 
capacity of 6.000. 

The horse races will be the chief attrac- 
tion. The entries are now closed and In five of 
the events there are twenty-five entries and In 
the other events there are between eighteen 
to twenty entries. The entries are all of un- 
usual merit, practically all of the good horses 
in the West being entered. The exhibition 
management are offering $23,700 in money 
purses, more than any other three fairs in 



DELAWARE COUNTY FAIR, POWELL, OHIO.

■art of the exhibit.

tion that the state hold annual fairs there, a

ing attendance Is assured. The dates of th«>

THE LEGISLATURE WAS LIBERAL 



Springfield, IU., Ang. IS (Special to The Bill- 
board). — The appropriation of $1,000,000 by tbe 
New York Legislature for its State Fair, fol- 
lowed up Iowa. Kentucky. Minnesota and Mis- 
souri with amounts of $500,000 and: less for 
permanent state fair buildings, spurred 'the Il- 
linois Legislature to liberal treatment of II- 
BBWis' Greatest Fair on Earth. It was neces- 



SECRETA RIES' REPORTS. 

The Jennings County Joint Stock Agricultural 
Association, which held its meet at North Ver- 
non, Ind., July 25-28, could not bare had better 
weather than prevailed during tbe entire fair. 
The first day was devoted to preparations only, 
accordingly attendance Is not listed. On tbe 
second day 2,000 people visited the fair grounds. 
The third day was the biggest — 8.000 people 
being In attendance. On the fourth and lsst 
day the crowd numbered 3.000 people. Cattle, 
stock, hog. sheep and poultry shows and trot- 
ting and pacing races were greatly enjoyed by 
tbe visitors. The attractions consisted of a 
merry-go-round. Ocean Wave, dips, doll racks, 
and such concessions ss doll racks, refreshment, 
dining halls, soft drink stands, etc. A chins 
wheel on a large scale was one of the prlncl- 

Eal privileges. The Sensational Smlthson, whose 
icycle leaplng-a-gap act. In which tbe daring 
rider plunges into a blaze of gasoline, wss 
the free attraction, and Secretary W. G. Norrls 
reports that tbe act was a big feature. Sev- 
eral shows engaged did not arrive, but the as- 
sociation did not suffer ss a consequence. The 
less was purely to the shows, which undoubtedly 
would have done good business. Spindles and simi- 
lar gambling games were barred and no girl 
shows were allowed. On tbe whole, tbe fair 
was a big success and tbe association Is well 
pleased. 

Tbe Big Four Fair, Fonda, Iowa, held August 
1-4. registered the following attendance: first 
day. weather good; second day. fine weatber, 
3.200: third day, cloudy with rain in the morn- 
ing. 5,900; last day, good weather, 3,100. In- 
dustrial conditions were good and the fair was 
successful from every standpoint. Eugene Trio, 
Fassio Trio and Professor Tubbs' Banning 
Horses constituted the principal attractions. 
The privileges consisted of a merry-go-round, 
Innch stands, novelties, etc. J. P. Mnlltn, 
secretary of the association, states thst sH 
visitors were highly satisfied with the fair. 



The week of August 7 to 12 witnessed the 
annual agricultural faira of two more Indiana 
counties. These were held at New Castle In 
Henry County and at Lebanon In Boone County. 
As these countleB rank among the best, both 
for agriculture and lire stock breeding. It is 
needless to say that both fairs were well at- 
tended. In fact, from the report of tbe treas- 
urer, the gate receipts were thirty per cent 
greater than last year. The extremely dry 
weather makes It almost Impossible for the 
farmer to do much work on his farm, so he 
takes one or two days off and attends the county 
fair. The exhibits at both fairs were of a 
high order, and the concessions were of a 
higher class than are usually seen at a county 
fair rrounds. 

At Newcastle all spindles and games mt 
chance were excluded from the grounds; while 
at Lebanon they were allowed to run. As to 
shows, Lebanon bad some extra good, fit 
to be seen by anyone, and the attendance at 
these shows was very good. The dog and pony 
shows seemed to do the best business ss the 
children like to see tbe little animals go 
through their acta. 

The Fifth Annual Howard County Fair at Ens- 
siavllle, Ind., August 8 to 11, Inclusive, was 
a record-breaker for attendance. The crowd on 
tbe biggest day was estimated at 15.000. There 
was a big midway and Clark's Diving Pony and 
Kennedy's X. I. T. Wild West for free acts. 
Tbe races were of a blgh class and the exhibits 
In all departments of the best. The treasurer 
reports a snug little balance, which will be 
spent by the directors for new buildings ant-' 
Improvements. 

The officers of tbe Sandy Plains Fair Associ- 
ation are well pleased with the results of their 
fair, which was held at Washington, Pa„ August 
8, 9, 10. Tbe attendance this year was un- 
usually large. This Is the first fair on this 
circuit, and, from all appearances, the entire 
clrcnlt of ten fairs will be successful, ss con- 
siderably money has been spent in procuring 
bigb-ciass attractions. 

AVIATION AT SPOKANE FAIR. 



Spokane, Wash., Aug. 16. — Word has just 
been received by tbe management of the Spo- 
kane Interstate Fair that Lincoln Beachey and 
R. C. ("Lucky Bob") St. Henry will be the 
two Curtiss aviators to give exhibitions during 
the fair, October 2 to 8. Beacbey. In light of 
his recent winning of the $5,000 New York-to- 
Phlladelphla race . and bis brilliant perform- 
ances at the Chicago meet, now ranks as prob- 
ably the best-known of the Curtiss fliers, and 
St. Henry, who has been flying in tbe West all 
summer, has gained a' great deal of popularity. 

-The possibility of some spirited contests be- 
tween the two Curtiss biplanes and a Bleriol 
monoplane at the Interstate Fair Is opened np 
by the engagement of John Lagrive of Spokane, 
a young Swiss pupil of Blerlot. to give flights 
In a machine he is now building after the pat- 
terns of tbe French Inventor. Lagrive before 
coming to this country worked in tbe Blerlot 
shops and took his first Bights In a French mono- 
plane. He Is building a machine after tbe regu- 
lation Blerlot specifications. 

FAIR NOTES. 



The third annual Interstate Fair at Pensa- 
cola, Fla.. November 6-11. Inclusive, bids fatx 
to surpass all previous agricultural exhibitions 
beld in that section of the country. The farm- 
ers of West Florida and Southern Alabama are 
putting forth every effort and assure tbe best 
in the agricultural line. There will be dis- 
plays of orange*, vegetables of all kinds, fish of 
many varieties, pure bred csttle. bogs and 
sheep, some of the finest poultry in the country 
and an excellent'dlsptay of women's work. The 
show and concession end will be under the" man- 
agement of Lew Rose. The shows will be 
furnished by the Barkoot Amusemeat Company, 
consisting of eighteen shows, three riding de- 
vices and live free acts. Concessions from all 
over the country will be en tbe grounds. As 
this is a day and night fair, all should do 
a good business. Horse racing is provided every 
afternoon. There will be a number or special 
days, parades, etc. N. J. Llllsnl Is secretary. 

Reedsburg. one of the first Wisconsin fairs, 
was beld August 8-11. Rain on the 9th kept 
down the attendance on that day and forced a 
postponement of the races scheduled for the 
10th. Despite the bsd weatber the total at- 
tendance equaled that of last year. The fair 
was a decided success, all the concessions did 
a good business and tbe various sporting events 
were very exciting and well contested. Cora 
Beckwlth. with her big swimming show, wss 
the feature attraction, and must be classed ss 
one of the best attractions that has ever 
made this fair. Tbe Girl In Green. Campbell, 
Caske and Shaw, in a new Illusion. Dr. Hockey's 
Zala the Wild Girl and Hop tbe Prog Han 
were among the other shows thst pleased. 
Bnrt West and his sssistants were quite busy 
with the picture gallery, and Brace and Kauf- 
man bad all they could attend to wltb their 
tent restaurant. Local talent in repertoire at 
the Opera House drew large audiences. 

The exblbitlen of tbe New Hampshire Fair 
Association will be beld st Nashua, N. H„ Sep- 
tember 4-7. As far aa tbe gate is concerned, 
tbe fair Is already looked upon as a success 
and tbe management are expecting at least 
30,000 people the opening day. There will be 
special features and horse races every day. 
The midway will be a big attraction and space 
is being taken for concessions or various kinds. 
The management do not expect to make any 
money this year, on account of the number 
of expensive attractions that will be offered: 
their object Is to make tbe fair a permanent 
one and to get It tbe reputation of being one 
of tbe biggest and best in all New England. 
The fair grounds are within one hour's trolley 
ride of 500.000 people and the fair Is thorough- 
ly billed and advertised In tbe surrounding 
territory. 

At the Salisbury (Md.) Fair this yesr, August 
15-19. a number of Interesting events are 
scheduled to take place. During the four days 
of the fair there will be three aeroplane flights 
each day. Tbe Curtiss Company will fnrnlsb

la secretary. 

Prospects for a very good fair to be held by 
the Bullitt County Fair Association. Shepherds- 
vine. Ky., are very bright, and as the associa- 
tion have made many improvements and exten- 
sive preparations, it is the belief of the officers 
that the present sesson will he better than any 
In the history of the society. The fair grounds 
are eighteen miles from Louisville on the L. .<. 
N. Railroad, and the attendance is usually very 
large. This season the fair will be held August

Fair. September 10-22, was on the doubtful list. 
On the contrary, this association expects to

year's are expected to be well over the $106,000 
mark. *21.000 will be spent for special attrac- 
tions, and a new steel and concrete grand- 
stand, seating 10.000 and coating $100,000, is 
being erected. H. B. Schall is secretary. 

The fair of the North Dakota Fair Associ- 
ation at Grand Forks. July 25-28. was a success 
In every way. The big feature of the fair 
was the cattle and horse show. The cattle ex- 
hibit was the largest ever gotten together In 
the Northwest, and Included exhibits from 
South Dakota, Minnesota and other nearby 
statps.

Shipp=Feltus Shows, Now Playing in South America, Find 
Conditions in that Country to he Excellent— Two Bills 
Notes — Reminiscences of an Old Clown 



SHIPP-FELTUS IN SO. AMERICA. 

With this Issue of The Billboard appears 
the advertisement of the Sblpp & Feltus Circus, 
now playing the west coast of South America. 
When, the company returns to the United States 
early in October, tbey will hare concluded their 
fourth annual tour of Latin America, where 
they have firmly established themselves as the 
moat successful circus that has been aeen In 
the tropical countries In years. 

The season about to close has embraced a 
complete tour of the principal cities of British 
Honduras, Guatemala. Salvador, Costa Rica, 
Panama. Chile. Pern, Bolivia and the West 
India Islands. From every point of 'View the 
season has been a most successful one. - From 
a . financial standpoint the management claims 
that there hasn't been a losing week and a more 
pleasant engagement could not have been ashed 
for. In the eities of Central America the press 
and public were loud in their praise for the 
excellent performances given and In many in- 
stances the different members of the company 
were entertained- by prominent government offi- 
cials. - la South America, where many high- 
class European circuses have exhibited, this. 
American show captured all- honors for Its clean - 
Uhess. first class wardrobe and presentation of 
a really excellent circus performance. 

The tour was arranged with the climatic con- 
ditions of the different countries visited con- 
sidered, and there was not one day of rainy 
weather to conflict with business. 

For the coming season, which is expected to 
run from forty to sixty weeks, Edward Shipp 
and Boy . Feltns. the owners, will give their 
show, an entire new equipment. New canvas 
and seats, hew parade and entree wardrobe, 
new printing and several - fine new horses will 
be added. The company will sail from New 
Orleans early, In December on one of the United 
Fruit Company's new million-dollar steamers, 
and the different circus acts to be presented 
wIU represent the very best that can be en- 
gaged in this country. The public along the 
route of this show has shown that it will sup- 
port a ' really high-class American circus and 
the management will spare no expense In pro- 
viding one of this character. 



THE TWO BILLS' SHOW. 

By F. AL. PEAECE. 



At Davenport, Iowa, Colonel Cody was the re- 
cipient of a magnificent loving cup of silver, 
gold lined, assuredly a very handsome remem- 
brance from many of his associates of former 
years. Not to be ontdone, the city of Clinton, 
our next stand, observed a general holiday, 
called Buffalo Bill Day, and here, too, the 
Colonel was again presented with another cup 
equally- as handsome as the; one the day before; 
In fact the Colonel' has been very fortunate this 
season,, having received a number of very hand- 
come gifts. 

Business at both the towns mentioned was 
excellent, and nothing in any way happened to 
mar the pleasure, of the engagement either to 
the public or the show folks. 

Saturday we were at Cedar Rapids, Victor 
Hugo's home town, and the • gentleman himself 
was there to welcome his old friends and ac- 
quaintances. He is meeting with success In 
bis TarlouB ventures and has the best wishes of 
all who know him for Its continuance. - 

Bboda Royal and wife of the Sells-Floto 
Shows, were also visitors here, Mr. Royal com- 
bining business with pleasure on his visit, he 
having an act here at the present time. 

We spent Sunday- In a most quiet and order- 
ly manner at Ottumwa. It was compulsory to a 
great degree, so I can sot truthfully say that 
it was enjoyed. About mid-night Sunday a 
terrific rain and wind storm set Is that had 
been threatening all day and gave as our first 
complete blow-down of the season. At day- 
break the show certainly looked a complete

wreck, scattered all over the lot, and at first 
glance It seemed as though it would be im- 
possible to get ready for the afternoon per- 
formance. By hard work on the part of all, 
everything was made ready, however, and though 
we were the fifth show In, our business 
was extra big In the afternoon and very satis- 
factory at night. «, 

Charles E. Griffin, for a number of years man- 
ager of the side show with Buffalo Bill's Show, 
was a visitor here, as was also Mr. Bell of 
the Bell Show Print of Slgonrney, Iowa. 

Tuesday, at Des Moines, n' thing out of the 
ordinary happened here except the return for 
a short visit of Ottokar Bartlk of the Bartik 
Troupe, of. Dancers. Business was- very good at 
both performances. Fortunately the street car 
strike that had been In progress here, was temp- 
orarily settled, otherwise we would In all prob- 
ability- have bad - light attendance. 

Wednesday, Marshall town, another very se- 
vere storm at eight o'clock In the morning. 
No damage done as the various tents were low- 
ered In advance. Business great in the after- 
noon and -only fair at night, doe, no doubt to 
the threatening condition of the weather, which 
developed Into another corking storm just as 
the big show performance was finishing. Again 
I can say no damage, bat the people with the 
show in particular had a . thorough drenching. 

Thursday, Waterloo, In early, but the old show 
lot reported to be nnder water. Secured another 
location making a long haul and oa to a soft 
lor. Only by fast wort was the show ready In 
time but was given in the afternoon to one of 
the largest houses of the season, "again - proving 
that opposition seems to have no disastrous ef- 
fect on our business. 

Frank ..Winch, our press agent, and I say 
with great satisfaction, has received his "Buzz 
Cart," a Buick Model 16. It is for his exclu- 
sive use to transport him from town to town 
and to permit him to transact his duties with 
greater speed than heretofore. Frank Is entitled 
to all the consideration that Is shown him by 
the management here for he Is getting results 
all the time and assuredly lives np to the let* 
ter of his calling. 

Mrs. C. N. Thompson, wife of our general 
manager, is still visiting here. She Is a very 
pleasing lady whose presence will be missed 
when she departs for her southern home. 

Mr. H. G. Wilson has been obliged to leave, 
temporarily on account of Illness, and Is now 
confined at one of the leading hospitals of 
Omaha, 

Between the extreme heat and the rain 
storms every one with the show Is about all in. 
myself included, so for this time I will close 
and say to be continued Is oar next. 




Adventures 
of 

Pete 
Conklin 



BY HIMSELF. 

In the early days of the Civil War we trav- 
eled by boat from New Orleans to Cincinnati 
and had a- lively time with guerrillas and bush- 
wackers firing Into our boat. On one occasion 
I saved my life by turning a somersault. While 
showing In . Hickman . we were surrounded by 
Morgan's guerrillas. They made us give an 
extra performance for them, which we did. and 
they were very much pleased with the show, 
and gave vent - to their feelings with their 
rebel yell. They wanted -us to remain In. Dixie. 
As soon as everything was quiet on the lot, I 
started for the boat which was quite a distance 
from the lot. It was a very dark night and a 
drizzling rain was coming down. 1 had not 
walked very far before I was halted by two 
men. They shouted: "Who goes there?" I 
answered: "A friend." They said: "Give us the 
countersign." I replied: "Circus." One then 
remarked to the other: "That is not the coun- 
tersign. Is it. Cole?" He then said: "Throw 
up your hands and march up here; you are 
our prisoner." I did as I was ordered. Tbey 
pointed their guns at me and ordered me to 
"fall In." I obeyed; they marched me about 
one mile to a log cabin — a Kentucky saloon. 
The place was full and every man in It was full. 
The Colonel said: "Look here, boys, I've cap- 
tured a Yankee: what will we do with him?" 
I replied In a good-natured way: "Now, boys, 
before we go any further, suppose we all have 
a drink." They said: "We will ail take a 
drink with you, and that's no joke, and you 
must prove to ns that- yon are no Yankee spy. 
You seem to be a good fellow, who are you, 
what are yon doing on the road and what Is 
your business?" I laughed and said: "Tile 
ajoke Is on you; don't yon know me? I'm Pete 
Conklin, the clown." After looking me over, they 
said: "Colonel, It's sure enough the old 
clown." The Colonel - then exclaimed: "If 
you aTe the clown, give us a somer- 
sault, because the .clown Is always the 
best tumbler In the show." I tried to make an 
excuse, because I had on high top boots and a 
big overcoat. No excuse would go. He pulled 
out a six-shooter and pointed it at me. So I 
"flopped" over, boots, overcoat and all. I never 
In my life turned a higher somersault. It made 
a bit with the crowd. Tbey said they knew 
now I was the genuine clown. The Colonel then 
ordered a guard to escort me to the boat and 
also presented me with a dog. 



CORRECTION. 

Bob Simons Is not connected with John Robin- 
son's Ten Big Shows as stated in last week's 
issue of The Billboard, but. resigned bis posi- 
tion with that show some weeks ago to accept 
the general advertising agent'* position with 
the Robinson's Famous Shows, where he Is sow 
located.

Argenta. Ark., Aug. 15, 1911. 
:Eiiitor Tbe Billboard, Cincinnati, Ohio, 
Dear Sir: '• 
With your permission I would like to state 
a few facts about Argenja. Ark. Argenta la 
a thriving city of 15.000 inhabitants, located on 
tbe north bank of the Arkansas River opposite 
Little Rock, and tbe two cities are connected 
liy four bridges. One of them is a free county 
bridge, which practically unites the two cities, 
but they have separate municipal governments. 
In regard to amusements. Argenta is undoubt- 
edly- the best city In the state. This was 
•demonstrated last season, when the Rinding 
Brothers showed in this city. Their receipts 
were the second largest in the United States 
up to that date — September 24. - Buffalo Bill's 
Wild West also showed here lawt season and bad 
'both day and night entertainments crowded. 
The Parker Amusement Company also showed 
here for one week and met with the best of suc- 
cess iu a financial way. We have four rail- 
roads radiating in every direction, which bring 
In the people from the rural districts and. be- 
side*, we have all of Little Rock to draw from, 
because our show grounds are nearer to the 
-center of Little Rock than its own grounds. 
Our licenses are reasonable for all classes of 
shows. We are always glad to furnish any in- 
formation desired relative to amusements, no 
matter what they are, so that they are clean 
shows. Yours truly. 

A. R. GERLAC1I. City Clerk.

'from where tbe show goes Into Indiana for a 
week. V. C. Seavers, general manager, is en- 
larging tbe arena performance with several new 
-features since returning to the States. 

Everybody seemed pleased with bnslness dur- 
ing the trip through Canada, which speaks well, 
-especially as they had the hot weather to con- 
tend with, coming through the terrible heat 
•without loss of any stock or a performance. 

Professor Kern's Cowgirl Band of 25 pieces 
Is a pleasing number both la arena work and 
tparade. 

The side show, under the direction of Salvall, 
Is getting their share of the business.

Backman's Animal Show bas been in Canada 
for the past four -weeks and bas been meeting 
with success at every stand. Extra per- 
formances have been given on several occa- 
sions to accommodate the crowds. Everything 
about the show Is in excellent condition and 
paint 1> rashes can be seen in the hands of the 
workmen twice a month. The prograjn con- 
sists of seventeen animal acts and tbree big 
down numbers. A big Hon act, a group of 
spotted leopards and a bareback riding Royal 
Bengal tiger are easily the features. There 
are 103 wild and trained animals that go to 
make up the program for the mvnagerie. New 
animals are being constantly added. -Mr. Back- 
man anticipates a long season: and will close 
In California Tor a short season only. 

It looks good to see our old .friend. Kit Clarke, 
still on Broadway, occasionally getting a spare 
moment when be can meet the old-time boys. 
Kit will be seventy-five years old next Febru- 
ary, and has been out of the show business for 
the past' thirty years, his las£ connection- hav- 
ing been with Haverly's Minstrels. He now 
runs, together with his sons, a large diamond 
importing establishment In New York City. He 
lives In Brooklyn, and spends the greater part 
of his summer at- an eleven hundred acre farm 
which he has purchased below Hancock.. Pa., on 
the Delaware River. 

Gollmar Bros, showed at New Richmond Au- 
gust 7. This was their first appearance in 
this town since twelve years ago, at which 
time tbe show encountered a cyclone, which 
practically blew the town to pieces and In- 
jured a great many. Including several of the 
show people. A number of tbe old inhabitants 
who remembered tbe cyclone and the circus 
were on band and expressed surprise at the 
magnitude of the sbow. One of tbe heavy plank 
wagons broke ■ down while being pulled off the 
lot. delaying the departure of tbe train nearly 
an hour. 

Mr. and Mrs. Gus Bernis of ScbuylerviUe, N. 
T.. and Mrs. Aimee Cowden and little Bessie 
Cowden of Chester. Pa., all members of the 
Charles N. Harris Shows, enjoyed an automo- 
bile outing while playing at Jay, N. T., last 
Saturday. They were entertained by Mr. Jack 
Lennex and E. D. Lewis of Albany, N. T. E. 
8. Johnson of SnfTern, N. T., furnished tbe 
music while luncheon was being served. Ev- 
erybody enjoyed a royal good time. 

Manager Charles A. Dunlap of Electric Park, 
Newark, N. J., bas decided to send out tbe 
act of little Miss Thoma and her beautiful and 
educated white horse. Indian Chief for tbe fall 
fairs, commencing AngnRt 28. He will ship 
with Charley Tompkin'g Wild West Show, which 
consists of about two dozen people. They will 
play tbe same fairs at the same time. It will 
be recalled that Miss Thoma was one of last 
year's fair sensations. 

Pete Conklin, the old-time . Shakespearean 
Jester, has just returned from a month's vaca- 
tion that he enjoyed on the farm of his brother. 
Bill, three miles from Lebanon. New Jersey, off 
the Jersey Central Railroad. Bill. It will be re- 
called, was superintendent of the menagerie 
for the Barnnm and Bailey Shows many years In 
the bygone days. He now has a mammoth fowl 
farm, and is devoting his declining years to ag- 
ricultural- pursnits. 

Col. Frederick T. Cummins and Major C. F. 
Rhodes were the guests of Col. Vafley (Cali- 
fornia Frank) at his recent engagement at New 
Bochelle, X. Y. They enjoyed the hospitality 
of California Frank's private car for the du- 
ration of their stay. Incidentally, it must be 
remarked that these two old colleagues, Rhodes 
and CummlnB. are very- frequently seen In 
each other's company. Showmen, watch out for 
something.

The fulfillment of the engagement of Cali- 
fornia Frank's Sbow at Long Island City last 
Saturday. August 5, was rendered impossible 
when tbe building authorities insisted that the 
output pay a license for the privilege of erect- 
ing their paraphernalia. The officials of the 
show would not stand for this outrage, prefer- 
ring to give np their Saturday engagement. 

John Robinson's Shows gave -an afternoon and 
evening performance at Cairo. 111.. August 14. 
which were witnessed by two of the largest 
audiences that have ever attended a circus iu 
the history of Cairo. The day was perfect, the 
weather cool and cloudy. 

A. B. Jones, proprietor of the Crawford Hotel. 
Crawfordsville, Ind., returned home Wednesday, 
August 9, after a two weeks' vacation with the 
Hagrnbeck-Wallace Circus. Mr. Jones Is in 
the habit of spending two weeks with this 
circus every summer. 

Heber Bros.* Greater Show roster remains 
the. same as previously -announced, with the fol- 
lowing additions: Ray Raymond., contortionist, 
and James R. Ramsey, in advance. - The show 
reports a prosperous and pleasant season. 

Sam Fisher, formerly with Sun Bros.' Show, 
joined the Downie & Wheeler Shows at Ravenna. 
N. Y., August 7, to do flying rln- act and as- 
sist Art Silverlake in a new aerial number. 

C. F. Hafley (California Frank) .will' have 
bis circus- at the New Castle (Del.) County 
Fair August 30. 31 arid September 1. This is 
Frank's Initial trip into Delaware. 

Col. Frank Hafley has not recovered the use 
of his left arm as yet, the muscles of which 
were torn loose by Cannon Ball, a vicious 
bucking horse, several weeks ago. 

It is announced that the -.Hagenbeck- Wallace 
Baseball Club will play the Singling team in 
Texas for the circus championship of tbe world. 
It will probably be some game. 

The Two Bills Show is booked for Leaven- 
worth, Kan., Sept. 13. Much interest centers 
in their engagement here as this is the boy- 
hood home of Col. Cody. 

The drivers with . the Downie & Wheeler 
Shows are wearing new coats and caps in the 
parade, new wardrobe having been purchased 
the past week. 

The principal clown with the B. G. Smith 
Shows is Chas. Word.

AMUSEM ENT PAR K NEWS 

Baltimore Band Manager Signally Honored by Park Official 
—Noise of Coaster Annoys Philadelphians and Court 
Orders Operation of Concesssion Discontinued 



SAND MANAGER HONORED. 



Baltimore. Md.. August 19 (Special to Toe 
Billboard). — There was an incident at River 
View Park August 15 that will be marked down 
as unique and unusual In the annals of history 
relating to summer parks. Attractions have 
come and gone in winter and summer and the 
managers of the different amusement exhibitions 
were highly gratified if the financial results 
accruing from 'their periodical vlaits met with 
their expectations. 

The Royal Artillery Band has been a feature 
»t River View for the past eight summers. 
It came here as a stranger and it Is now a fix- 
ture in t*ie affections of the music lovers and 
•citizen? of Baltimore. Previous to the coming 
•of this band, the citizens had only known -the 
programs as rendered by bands of local music- 
ians In small numbers of fifteen or eighteen 
jiieces. The Royal Artillery Band, with forty 
pieces ulaylng only classic and high-class music, 
-was a distinct novelty and proved an instanta- 
neous .bit- The people had become surfeited 
-with ragtime, and the strains of, Wagner. Gounod 
. jind other famous musicians were 'a. great pleas- 
ure. The band has always been kept up to 
m standard of efficiency, and -the excellent ren- 
-dirion of music has made this band and the 
.park a great favorite with the public. When 
the weather is favorable. large crowds are al- 
ways at the park, seated in front of the big 
'bandstand and enjoying the music. The man- 
agement of the park has attempted to present 
-other bands, but the pnbllc . was never satisfied 
without she Royal Artillery Band, which has 
become a favorite. That the people fully ap- 
preciated this organization was shown in a pub- 
lic demonstration at the park on the date stated 
above. 

A committee of representative citizens met 
.during July and gathered a fund, with which 
they purchased a handsome gold Jewel sur- 
jroun'Ied with diamonds and presented it to Mr. 
.Joseph De Vito. the manager of the band, as a 
token of esteem of the music lovers in Balti- 
iiuore. On the evening stated, the committee 
.assembled m - the dining room in the Casino and 
Mr. De Vito. without any previous knowledge of 
-the event, was requested to come Into the 
trootn. He was greatly surprised when he was 
rhanited the beautiful gift. Comptroller James 
if. Thrift, who represented Mayor James H. Pres- 
<on, presented the Jewel after delivering an in- 
leresttng and well-chosen * address. And this 
was not all. The leading Italian citizens also 
testified their interest In Mr. De Vito In a 
similar manner. All the Italian societies held a 
picnic at the park so as to be present and make 
the event a matter ot double Importance. The 
prominent and wealthy Italians took a leading 

{■art In this event. As this city is one of the 
eadlng Atlantic fruit ports, many of these men 
are not only conspicuous In this lucrative trade, 
but control the steamship lines that bring the 
fruit from South America and Italy. 

The Italians presented Mr. De Vito with a 
-solid gold medal as a token of e steem, which 
4a neatly engraved and describing the purpose of 
-the gift. The" members of the band were per- 
mitted to snbscriSe their shar" towards the pur- 
chase of these gold medals. The musicians have 
always been loyal to their manager and hold 
jiim in high esteem. 

Among the committees were: leading, city. offi- a 
.clals. professional men and prominent mer- 
chants who. were actively interested in the tw- 
lialf of Mr. De Vito in presenting him' with 
.these mementoes as a token of appreciation 
and gratitude for his efforts in affording Bal- 
timoreans so much musical pleasure. 

Among those present were: Glacoma Sehlaf- 
fino. Italian consul; V. Demarco, Francis 
Scfaanb, A. Demarco. J. S. O'Neill. Comptroller 
James P. Thrift, John B. Kelly. T. J. Birming- 
ham. Otto Q. Slmonson. Geo. D. Pehniman. Wm. 
J. Gahan. Sylvan Schenthal and thousands of 
patrons who came to witness the event. The 
members of the Italian societies presented a 
picturesque sight in the natty uniforms. 



A BAD FALL. 



Savin Rock, Conn.. Aug. 15 (Special to The 
Billboard). — Signor Alvarado of Alvarado's 
Trained Goat Circus, was badly injured here 
August 10, while attempting a bicycle high- 
wire act, 60 feet In the air. Several bones 
were broken. This was Alvarado's first at- 
tempt at this act In three years. 



COURT STOPS COASTER. 



Philadelphia. Pa., Aug. 16 (Special to The 
Billboard).— Another attempt at Woodside Park 
to reduce to an unobjectionable extent the 
noises from the Een-Hnr Racer and Whirlwind 
Coaster has gone awry, and Judge Staake, after 
a bearing last week saw no reason to modify 
the injunction order that recently stopped the 
operation of the two coaster railway amuse- 
ments. The suit was brought by residents and 
property owners adjacent to the park, and after 
a patient hearing, their charges that the two 
devices, when running, constituted an intolerable 
nuisance, were sustained by the court. Since 
the injunction was granted the defendants 
metal strips with a padded wooden lining, and 
changed the lining: ot -the tracks, replacing 
the alteration, they contended greatly lessened 
the noise of operation. Judge Staake made per- 
sonal observations on Saturday and Sunday even- 
ings, going around the vicinity of the. .park, in 
a motor car, and stopping at different points, 
to listen at the noises from the park. He said 
he was convinced bv his own ears that while 
the changes In the tracks had reduced the noises 
complained of. they bad not removed the nnl- 
Bance. The court, therefore granted the motion 
of attorney David J. Smyth, for a continuance 
of the original injunction. 



FIRE AT DIXIELAND PARK. 

Jacksonville, Fia., Aug. 16. — Fire of unknown 
origin visited Dixieland Park at 1 o'clock on 
the morning of August 15 and totally destroyed 
the main exposition building, a structure 300 
by 400 feet, and also many of the concession 
booths. There was no insurance In force on 
the building- It will not be rebuilt. Being 
out of the city the Are department could not 
reach the scene and it was only through the 
good work 81 a bucket brigade that the flames 
were prevented from spreading to the Sellg 
motion picture studio and the Sellg menagerie, 
which has been of snob service to them in their

PAR K NO TES. 

One of the big drawing cards at Scarboro 
Beach Park, Toronto, Can., is Bitcnison's Fa- 
mous Dog Circus. This taking show 1b well 
placed on the Pike and Is drawing large pat- 
ronage. Leslie Secardo, the Belle of the 
Bells, is a big feature with the show. Owing 
to the great success of Proprietor Ritchlson 
the Scarboro Beach management have engaged 
the snow for the remainder of the season. J. 
A. McNlece, the clever young announcer in 
front of the Electroscope Show at S=arboro 
Beach Park, Toronto, Can., is making good 
with this popular attraction. McNlece was 
formerly on the road with the Mysterious Egypt 
Show and is well known amongst the summer 
park people. 

Dolle's Fark,' formerly Luna Park, Schenec- 
tady. X. Y.. has grown greatly in popularity 
since the ten-cent admission fee was abolished, 
and has become quite a favorite resort with 
the women and children and for picnics and 
family parties. A number of new features have 
been added, among them a fine carousel from 
the factory of - Fred Dolle at North Bergen, a 
swimming pond, special playground for . children, 
poolroom, bowling alleys, Ferris wheel and dip 
the dip. Special fireworks displays are given 
each week on. the river bank by the Schenectady 
Fireworks Co. Dell Heneman is press agent for 
the park. 

On the first of the "Special Bargain" days 
inaugurated at Glen Island, Friday, known as 
Mt. Vernon Day, the water carnival was aug- 
mented by a thrilling feat when Charles Jaser, 
a life-guard at Harr-r steen's bathing pavilion, 
dropped from a balloon a distance, of 150 feet. 
Into the Sound. Jaser ascended from the athletic 
field and sailed out over the sound and when he 
bad soared to the advertised height, dropped 
from the trapeze of the balloon into the water. 
Fellow life-guards were close at hand in row- 
boats in case emergency required them. 

Electric" Park. Waterloo, Iowa, will close the 
season proper September 4, but still be open 
Sundays and conduct vaudeville for another 
month. Arthur Webb's Concert Band will be 
one of the Sunday attractions until the final 
closing. Prof. Webb has a number of outside 
dates in the state during the week and will be 
kept busy until late in October. His first out- 
side date is at Reinbeck, Iowa, September 7-9, 
at the annual Potato Festival. 

Washington Park, Bayonne, N. J., (Ed Mason, 
manager), is enjoying one of its best seasons. 
The weather has been very good and the co&- 
cesslouers are all making out very well. There 
is not a bit of available space left in the park, 
all baring been taken up by concessions. The 
Park Theatre has been drawing good crowds, 
, and- on.-,. Thursday, nights; - which - are, — amatem; , 
nights, the S. R. O. sign invariably cpmes Into 
use. 

The Airdome of Uhrlcbsville. O.. is being re ; 
modeled and changed throughout. ' It is the In- 
tention of 'the management to occasionally play 
stock companies. Billy Immo. wen known to the 
vaudeville world, has assumed the management, 
and Is building the patronage up to a paying 
proposition. 

The Pines, near Gardner, Mass., which opened 
about six weeks ago, has fallen by the way- 
side. It Is said that the promoters left to the 
night, leaving a number of debts unpaid. 

Gil Brown and Lil Mills write from Forest 
Park. St. Louis, in an optimistic manner. They 
say that everything. Including the weather and 
the crowds. Is of the best. . \. 

A number of the showmen at Savin Bock, 
Conn., Park, were put through the Loyal Or- 
der of Moose by Sam J. Davis, manager of 
the Fat Lady attraction. 

A big attraction booked for Piedmont Park, 
Winston-Salem, N. C. is the Piedmont Trades 
Exposition, Fair and Horse Show, October 3-6.

KINETOSCOPE 



It is siimificant that almost invariably 
when an exhibitor discontinues one . ma- 
chine and purchases another, his . last 
choice is the Edison. Does this not. prove 
that although his judgmentraay have been 
faulty originally, he has seen the error of 
his ways and is convinced that the only 
safe, economical and satisfactory way to 
operate a motion picture theatre is to 
choose a machine that has been consid- 
ered standard the world over ever since 
its introduction fifteen or more years ago?

The Edison Underwriters' Type "B"

the most inopportune moment.

A nXTTOS TO SIS COinra Great North- 
am. Drama. Beleaaed August 28. Full 
length. 

A military production, a drama -with a military 
; ajaekaronnd, la what la produced here. The story 
. to bunt ap along rather elmnle lines, but the 
; ataginc and coa taming hare been care tally ear- 
ned oat, while the actors work hard la the In- 
, (arpretatlon of the reruns roles. The photo- 
graphy fa eery good. 

-HT/TT JUTD JXFF AST) THE C0UNTB.T JUDGE. 
Nestor. Comedy- Beleaaed Angnst 28. 
Full length. 

The desperate flnanclal straits to which the 
; two Does ban for so long a time been reduced 
. axe here somewhat relieved, temporarily for Mutt 
end Indefinitely for Jeff. Both characters get In 
bad alternately. Mutt Anally getting the worst or 
bis own scheme to make easy money. The ac- 
customed good comedy pervades the sketch. 

ALIAS YEIXOWBXOHE JOE. Nestor. West- 
ern drama. Beleaaed August 23. Full 
length. 

The production shown through this film Is 
perhaps the beat Western production this com- 
pany has made. The action Is surely the spiciest 
of any of their sketches, while the scenery and 
photography are both good. The manner or 
directing the play baa eliminated many of the 
disagreeable features of the ordinary Western 
play. There are hold-ups and bad men and 
chases, but an seem to have an excuse for their 
existence, snd In- accomplishing this appearance 
the director baa made a big step in dlrectoral 
progress. The play moves fast; in fact, one has 
to watch the screen -lonely to catch all the 
- splendid dramatic points there are to be s.en. 
This fast action is exhilarating, and producer a 
thrill which Is much to the credit of . the pro- 



taroughout the picture. There Is little to be said 
for the dramatic side of the production except 
that it Is of the ever popular kind of play, and 
well played. The scenic effects are the most 
noticeable item of interest. 

WEEK NORTH AND SOUTH MEET. Champion. 
Drama. Beleaaed August 21. Full length. 
There la little to be said about this "production 
except that It Is right In line with past Cham- 
pion military plays, being highly sentimental and 
given over largely to scenic effects. The photo- 
graphy might be mentioned ss being better than 
other films of this company's make, but the other 
Items are entirely in line with customary pro- 



; BATTLE OF- THE WILLS. Imp. Drama. 
Beleaaed Anguat 21. Split reel. 
The battle in question la one fought between 
two self-willed men. one a hypnotist, over the 
possession of a woman. It la well done in all, 
finely staged and enacted, and presents an en- 
tirely new subject to filmdom. It Is a simple 
plot, and Is given a simple, strong and elegant 
portrayal. The production la one of the deeper 
and one of the better of film productions. 

LOVE IN A TEPEE. Drama. Same reel as The 
Battle of the Wins. 
An excellently played but poorly directed 
little Indian story Is show here. It Is fsst in 
action and contains good humor. The scenery, 
cos tum ing and make-np are all splendid. Could 
the plot have been kept a little clearer, the 
short sketch would have been an Ideal Indian 
story. - 

AS A BOY DBEAHfl. Imp. Drama. Beleaaed 
August 24. Still length. 
The dreams of the boy who has been reading 
Treasure Island. Is produced here, with all the 
hilarity and Impossibility which can occur In a 
dream, and in a tale of daring and adventure, 
is the result. As a child's film It will no doubt 
win much popularity, while as one for all ages 
of people. It will paaa by with little comment, 
but without any of that detrimental to the pro- 
duction. The acting, scenery, costuming, stag- 
ing and photography are all moderately well done. 
' bearing nothing which could be adversely criti- 
cised, yet little worthy of much praise. 

ervrp CROSS. Thanhonser. Drama. Beleaaed 
August 22. Full length. .'. 
The story here is a religious one throughout, 
without any attempt at dramatic effects, and 
even without any argument for or against re- 
ligions belief. It simply shows a profligate 
man being converted to the Catbolls faith by a 
priest. The life of the man Is traced tor some 
years before his conversion, and a tale of some 
Interest appears in this part of the film, but as 
far as the production as a whole goes, it is 
■imply one of those tales contrived to please the 
believers in the faith, and Is absolutely ridicu- 
lous to a non-believer. The popularity of the 
nun will depend entirely upon the percentage ot 
Catholics in the audience viewing It, the greater 
the percentage the greater the popularity. The 
production is wen staged and very well played. 

tttt! ROMANCE OF LONELx* ISLAND. Than- 
honser. Drama. Beleaaed August 25. Fall 
length. 

The little play produced here Is so romantic 
aa to be entirely beyond the bounds of possibility. 
The story is a very entertaining one, neverthe- 
less, and of a nature that almoBt Invariably 
pleases. It Is enacted with an evident great 
desire on the part of the cast to make it a suc- 
cess, although the different parts axe evidently 
very hard to portray. The scenery and setting 
Is .food, being both beautiful and adequate to 
the play. The subject Is a very light one, al- 
most a fairy tale, and to Bay that it is highly 
amusing as it moves along is about the most 
that can be said for It, 

BLACK CLOUD'S DEBT. Powers. Drama. Be- 
leaaed Angnst 22. Fun length. 
The theme of the Indian who repays a kind- 
ness by performing some favor for his benefactor, 
which is far more ardnous than the original act 
of kindness, is here made the subject of a pic- 
turesque Indian play of naturalness and reality, 
splendid scenes have been selected for the 
and - a beautiful background is seen 



PATENT8 COMPANY. 

(Continued from page 15). 

BILLY'S MARRIAGE. Fathe. Comedy. Length, 
872 feet. Released Auguat 12. 
A sketch very old to vaudeville is produced 
here In a somewhat simplified form and some- 
what rearranged to suit the advantages and dis- 
advantages of a film production. Billy gets his' 
advice concerning his courtship from the girl's 
father who Is opposed to him. He Is advises 
to and does elope. Most of the scenes are 
taken op - In picturing the chase of the father 
after hU daughter, in which some trick pho- 
tography helps to amuse the audience. There 
is nothing new about the production, but It is 
good amusement and shows good photographic 
work. ' » 

AT FLOWER CARNIVAL, PARIS. 
Scenic. Length, 128 feet. Same reel as 
Billy's Marriage. 
A very short length of film showing " scenes 
of a flower parade in Paris, moderately well 
photographed. 

HER TWO SONS, Lubin. Drama. Length, 
1,000 feet. Released August 7. 
A rather queer. Inconsequential story is pro- 
duced here amid very beautiful and realistic 
scenes and with splendid photography in evi- 
dence. The tale Is probably perfectly natural 
and It is surely possible, but altogether carries 
no moral nor possesses any central subject or 
theme. A man marries In haste, deserts his 
wife, finds her outcast by everyone and takes 
her back, incidentally a child having been born 
to +y">rn This is the substance of the tale, 
which ends In a rather easy fashion and without 
any dramatic or thrilling events. The film will 
soon be forgotten by an audience. 

THE RULING PASSION. Blograph. Drama. 
Length, 997 feet. Beleaaed August 7. 
A very splendid story, founded an an en- 
tirely new theme for motion picture stories. Is 
produced In this film. The stage-struck child Is 
the subject of this story and some very disas- 
trous results of his passion follow the amusing 
efforts he makes to stage and produce sketches 
In company with other children. Beginning by 
being hilariously amusing, the story soon be- 
comes a serious one and thrilling: in the ex- 
treme. It ends in a very much different man- 
ner, for it is remarkably deep and dramatic 
In the extreme. It is this part of the story 
which shows most vividly the prodncer'e knowl- 
edge of human nature and his ability to 
carry a tale to Its logical conclusion. In all, 
the film Is one of the most interesting this com- 
pany has produced and It Is surely a different 
sort of production from more than one stand- 
point. 



MOSS-COVERED RUINS OF THE ISLE OP 
WIGHT. Urban-Eclipse. - Scenic. Re- 
leased Angnst 16. Split reel.' Length, 
250 feet. 

Many good scenes besides the moss covered 
ruins axe ahown In this film. It la not made 
quite dear what the places are which are pic- 
tured, but we suppose they are places on the 
island In question. The photography Is good. 

FOR THE HONOR OF THE NAME. Drama. 
Same reel aa Moss Covered r-Ina. 
Length, 750 feet. 
An European company endeavoring to pnt on 
an American drama Is what is pictured here. 
The subject Is a deep one and It calls for a 
whole lot of expression from the actor without 
giving him much to do and also crowding the 
dramatic points Into periods of very short dur- 
ation. The foreign method of expressing feel- 
ing and sentiment is so very much different 
from the American methods that the -reduction 
here Is a rather peculiar and unnatural one. 
Viewed from the standpoint or the foreigner, 
however, it Is very likely a well directed and 
well played sketch. The subject Is an Interest- 
ing one, and the plot perfectly natural and 
possible. The film will pass a very good imi- 
tation of an American made production. 

THAT DARE-DEVIL. Blograph. Comedy. 
Released Angnst 10. Split reel. Length. 
606 feet. 

A brilliantly played and surely cleverly plot- 
ed Uttle comedy In what Is shown here. Its 
theme is an old one but its developments are 
new and they are carried to aoch extremes in 
their ridiculousness, that the whole story seems 
new. It Is an Irish policeman story and one 
where -the policeman's Clothes are stolen while 
he is In bathing. He Is thought to be drowned, 
the waitings of his widow adding quite a Uttle 
humor to the situations. The film is one of the 
best comedies this company has recently re- 
leased. 



THE BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL. Edison. 
Drama. Historical. Length, 1,000 feet. 
Released August 8. 

Being No. 3 of the Dulled States history 
series of this company's productions, the film 
is little different from the preceding two in 
make-up. The dramatic side of the story is 
clearly shown and most carefully played and 
directed, while the battle scene Itself Is so far 
from being realistic that It nearly mars the 
whole production. It Is Indeed amusing to see 
a lot of men stop In the midst of s battle to 
wave their hats in the air and equally amualng 
to see thirty or so men take part in a battle 
in which hundreds were killed. Had the pro- 
ducer only shown one edge of the firing line 
or one general, Washington if desired, at the 
rear, standing alone, a wonderfully dramatic 
effect would have been' gotten, but the old- 
style battle scene Is produced. Instead and with 
the usual faklness as detailed ' above. The. cos- 
tuming, scenery and introductory and closing 
scenes are weU gotten up and a reallatlc pro- 
duction is nearly reached through these scenes. 
The historical version of the story Is followed 
carefully. 

A TURKISH CIGARETTE. Sells. Comedy. 
Split reel. Released August 14. 
The story here has to do with the dream of 
the tramp who has smoked the cigarette in 
question, a Harem Beauty, the events In his 
experience being amusing in the extreme. • He 
Is shown making a trip through a Turkish - city.

Jpiendldly gotten upTbelng both reaUstlc and

duction for a comedy. 

iealous OEOEGE. Comedy. Same, reel as A 
Turkish Olgsrette. . 
The old theme of the suspicious husband Is 
uii'd again here as a source of some good com- 
ijv and. while not much better than previous 
OTOdnctions, the one here Is entertaining and 
fully equal to them. The photography and se- 
tectlo of scenery Is good. 

THE 10NG> BKTttT. Titagraph. Drama, 
length, 1.000 feet. Released August 8. 
The story here <s a very plain, simple one, 
probably very Interesting to women, for It Is 
i womanish story but hardly capable of inter- 
filing or amusing men. The subtitle of the 
nim Is A Successful Experiment. The experi- 
ment Is that of trying to cure a fifteen-year-old 
sW of her chlldhm ways by tiring her the 
tone skirt and Impressing her with the fact that 
she Is ne longer a little girl. It la somewhat 
amusing the way the experiment works out, 
but of course, the result is seen long before It 
it. arrived at. The action is very well done, 
the children Is. the picture playing; natural 
parts and the scenes set in natural places. 

IN THE PARTS BLUM& Patbe. Drama. 
Length, 000 feet. Released August 14. 
A very dramatic and exciting tale of the 
slums is told here, highly visualised by the 
appropriate scenery and setting and the won- 
derfully extraordinary character in the center 
role. It is a tale of love and rivalry, the low- 
life customs end the highly sentimental people 
forming a combination which holds the Interest. 
The dim Is different In almost every way from 
the ordinary one— not that crude characters are 
new to Olmdom, but the lack of silly senti- 
mentality and the uniqueness of the plot put 
the production In a Class by Itself and satisfies 
that ever Increasing demand "for something 
new in motion pictures." 

EXTRACTING PALM JUICE Tjr THE FOREST. 

Educational. Length. 275 feet. Same 
reel as In the Paris Slums. 
A short educational film of some merit Is 
shown here. The rather peculiar method of 
tapping the trees and catching the juice, as 
welt as the custom of selling It In the open. Is 
s matter of Interest and Information. 

VIENNA, AT/STRIA. Scenic. Length, 194 feet. 
Same reel as In the Paris Slums. 
Some very good scenes of Vienna streets are 
shown, the pecnlisr street cars and buildings 
proving- highly Interesting, while some of the 
important scenes In the town which are shown 
and named, add to the Interest In the unnamed 
places. The photography la good. 

THROUGH JEALOUS EXES, Lubin. Drama. 
Released August IT. Length 1,000 feet. 
The story in this film Is one almost entirely 
Impossible, bat evidently produced for the Idea 
or showing what jealousy can do or what a little 
misunderstanding can bring about. In this re- 
spect the story Is well plotted, but In cutting 
It down in length to suit the film, many points 
seem to have been stretched. The acting la well 
done, and except for the Impossibilities appear- 
ing in the aim, It la a good «ne. 



THE BOhTANOE OF A DIXIE BELLE. Ralem. 
Drama. Released August 1L Length 983 
feet. 

A story with very extreme situations, althongb 
simple ones Is portrayed here: Various scenes 
creat* a feeling of suspense, which is well 
maintained for long periods. The plot has been 
carefully worked out except for a few points, 
which. are bard to account for, and it Is surely 
an interesting one. The rejected belle Is given 
the opportunity to shield from pursuing soldiers 
the man who has rejected her and married her 
rival. There la little depth to the story, but It 
it roll of Interest, and for this must of course 
be classed aa a meritorious production. 

THE BXA0K8MXTH>S LOTS. Sellg. Drama. 
Released August 17. Length 1,000 feet. 
A story much after the Enoch Arden fashion 
la pictured here. It Is not so simple as Its 
model, however, and aa produced la msde to 
be immensely mora Interesting. Wonderfully 
talented directing is much in evidence through- 
ont the play, and especially In the scenes on 
the battlefield, for the husband In this story 
goes to war Instead of to sea. No battle scenes 
are shown, merely the battlefield after the battle, 
with Its dead and -wounded Iylnar silently. The 
Mory of the battle is thus dramatically told, and 
well told. It is the battle where the husband 
is wounded, and from which the report goes out 
that he Is dead. In the end the wife leaves 
toe new husband she bad married, and returns 
to the first one. The play of course takes a de- 
cided turn at this point, and ends a great deal 
of suspense, which baa been a fine feature. The 
Hire win never fall to entertain. 

THE BELL OF JUSTICE. Titagraph. Drama. 
Released August 11. Length, 1,000 feet. 
Longfellow's beautiful poem. The Bell of Atrl, 
"reproduced in splendid form In this production. 
Jhe Ides of producing such a tale. la a coed idea, 
and the method of production la of a high order. 
Jhe mm will entertain those not fsmUtsr with

(Continued (torn page 61.) 

Ible and likewise dramatic. It baa been well 
directed and carefully acted and. while not a 
new tale. It la constructed In a way sufficient- 
ly norel to clear away any marks of ace. The 
ordinary gunplay and unconvtncable sheriff 
are omitted, much to the benefit of the produc- 
tion. 

HIS FIRST TRIP. Edison. Comedy-Drama. 
Released. August 16. Length, 1.000 feet. 
Some Tery excellent character work and .very 
natural business make this him one of the bear 
productions this company has released. The 
competition between two salmmen is the theme 
and the drastic measures adopted by one of 
them to get a certain order are the source of 
the greatest interest to be. found In the produc- 
tion. The two salesmen and she bellboy at tbe 
botef are Just about' as natural a group as 
could be found at any real hotel, while the 
events in the play are those which occur so 
frequently that no one couid question their ap- 
propriateness. The play Is nevertheless a new 
one. The Edison company. In the production of 
some of the better-played scenes in the play* 
hare pnt one over on all other companies In 
point, of naturalness. 

ttte ROUND-UP AT DAWN. Kalem. Comedy. 
Released August 9. Length 1,000 feet. 
This very improbable and In fact impossible 
mix-up is put on with all the seriousness of a 
dramatic production, but with all the glaringly 
bold method* of an ordinary dime novel. The 
people In the ptay appear throughout It as 
amateurs, while the director seems to have been 
at his first Job. The film Is a good example of 
a condition of too many releases a week, and an 
absolute necessity of turning out something, no 
matter what" It is. 

TTTP FLAMING ARH0W8. rathe. Drama. 

Released August 9. Length 826 feet. 
' The story here gets its name, from a scene in 
the play In which a band of Indians, in attack- 
Ink a party of white people who have taken 
refuge tan stable or shed, shoot flaming arrows 
at then- enemies, and set their sued on fire. 
Much of the film Is consumed in showing long and 
tedious chase scenes, while the main point of the 
story, a love affair and its conclusion, is kept 
very much In the background all through the 
blay The Indian fight, chase scenes and scenery 
are all realistic enough, and the production has 
been well photographed. The storv has been an 
Inferior one to start with, and It has been pro- 
duced with either lack of faculties or lack of 
etUlT The story is thrilling, bot it la not logi- 
cally put together. 

UOtTELLT. C0HTOKTIONIBT. Length 138 feet. 

. Same reel as The Flaming Arrows. 

A contortionist of moderate ability is here 
shown In a rather abort performance. He is 
of a foreign stage, and is of interest more for 
his peculiarity of. manner than for any of the 
contortions he goes into. 

THE TRAMP ARTIST. Essanay. Comedy. 
Split reel. Released August 15. 
The tramp artist or rather the artist tramp Is 
here shown converting various advertisements, 
which have been placed on billboards. Into comic 
nosters. His work Is skillful, and If real would 
{requite amusing. The film Is not different from 
the ordinary vaudeville act of this nature, but 
it Is fully as good as any of them, sad deserves 
as a good half reel here. 

JUDGE B1MPR1 H S * STJMMER CODBT. Cora- 
edy. Same reel as The Tramp irf- K 
A rather novel film story ir pictured I • erd 
one into which a great deal of comedy ::. .- .— • 
crowded. The summer court Is an u- yj- f 
of the country judge who could not --.r.-.<i • 
heat Indoors, and has moved out anii-- - — 
While the members of the court are - -.-<- 
assist a neighbor in moving bis corn — 
party of tramps seize upon the court ft.;.;..uw 
and authority, and proceed to arrest and fine 
speeding automobnists, whether they are over- 
speeding or not. The affair ends In an exciting 
scene, wherein the tramps are captured by the 
real court and brought to justice. The make-up 
of the tramps and their foolish actions are 
sources of much amusement, the splendid photo- 
graphy giving a clear view of both. 

THE (REGENERATION OF AN APACHE HID. 

Sell*. Drama. Released August 15. Length 
1 QUO feet. 

A very Interesting story of the life of an out- 
east "Is here pictured, along with his- death ip- a 
very dram/tie way. The story tells of the Kid 8 
rescue from a fire, and adoption by Indians, who 
raise him up to be an outlaw. Later on bis 
adoption, really by a woman who plans to re- 
generate him. results In the awakening of bis 
better nature and his falling in love with his 
benefactress. The author's manner of disposing 
of him in order to prevent his marriage to the 
girl is rather drastic, suicide, but it is In keep- 
ing with the nature of the Apache, and very 
likely quite natural. The play shows the deeper 
emotions of the Westerners, and although battle 
scenes are Introduced, they are not relied upon 
to produce the dramatic effect of the -roduction. 
The play Is carefully acted and well directed, 
while the photography Is beyond reproach.

VAUDEVILLE BILL AT THE SANS 
SOUCI PARK. 

Chicago. Ang. 19 {Special to The Billboard). 
— Vaudeville in the Casino at Bans Bond Park 
still retains the popularity enjoyed during the 
earlier summer months. The attractions are 
booked by the W. V. M. A., and good shows 
have been the rule for the most part of the en- 
tire season. The bill this week la opened by 
the Loos Brothers, singing Jerome H. Bem- 
lck's songs. The boys use a piano and are very 
clever singers. Tbelr. offering proves a big hit. 

Yamamoto Brothers, a duo of clever Japs, 
submit a few very diScnlt wire feats Including 
somersaults and barrel Jumping. Their balanc- 
ing is. also a feature worthy of note. 

The Four Dancing Bellea appear third on the 
bill. This quartette was reviewed last week 
under the Wilson Avenue Theatre report. 

The Bimbos, novelty comedy acrobats, in- 
troduce some new feats, but tbelr act consists 
mostly of stunts that have been seen before. 
They do some very clever falls and submit some 
good material in exhibitions of strength. The 
act went very big and proved one of the bits 
of the Sill. 

The Wilson Brothers are headlined this week 
but owing to the slae of the Casino,, could not 
get their stuff across as well as they do In the 
theatres. It ia practically impossible to hear 
anything past toe lint few rows of tables, and 
In this way a good act Is practically wasted. 

The Four Casting Campbells close the Show In 
gymnastic and easting exhibitions. They work 
fast and well and proved a big hit.

** She comfort of the audience or the 



performers waa to be overlooked, from venti- 
lating fans to running water and toilet rooms. 

These were Gemler's plana. The plans are 
now fulfilled in .the completest way possible, 
with a little thrown In for good measure. At 
the opening matinee, which was held in the 
theatre "pitched" on the Esplanade des In- 
valldes. President Fallleres and many other state 
officials were present. And during the three days 
the "theatre ambulant" rested on ' this lot It 
played to capacity. Paris society made a func- 
tion of the date. 

Aa suggested In the beginning, this venture 
is something bigger than a one-man affair; It 
la national: It la the Comedle-Prancais on wheels. 
Here are the namea of some of those who form 
a sort of supporting, or honorary, committee 
of direction: Jules Claretle (director Comedie- 
Francalse), Maurice Donnay, Paul Boarget, Hen- 
ri Lavedan. Emiie Faguet. Jules Lemaltre. Ed- 
mond Bostand, Jean Bichepln, Gabriel Faore, 
Massenet (of the Opera), Maurice B aires, the 
members of the Institute, Rodin (the sculptor) 
end many others, including several cabinet mem- 
bers. 

The aims of the Theatre National Ambulant 
are praiseworthy enough. Americans can not 
appreciate theatrical conditions as .they exist 
here. One would think that France being a 
small, compact country, all of Its 40,000,000 of 
people would have ample opportunity of seeing 
the best In the line of theatre offerings. The 
reverse Is the truth. Few people ontslde of 
Paris see. save at rare Intervals, any real 
acting. Theatrically speaking, Paris Is France. 
The citizens of Lyons, for example, a city of 
half a million people, bigger than Cleveland, 
or Cincinnati, or San - Francisco, or New Or- 
leans, seldom see first-class acting in first-class 
plays, without coming to Pans. And If this be 
true of Lyons, how much more so it is of 
smaller places. So the rolling' playhouse, with 
Its Parisian stars. Is going to take the classics 
to the people, the people being unable to come 
to the classics. 

Mollere, Tolstoi. Baclne, Cornellle and other 
great men of other days will be shown by 
some of the best players In France. Modern 
authors will also be played. The Malade Imag- 
lnalre. the Barbler de Seville. Anna Kareniaa, 
Galtes de l'Escadron, La Tie Publlque, Le 
Deplt Amoureux and l'HIrondelle are some of 
the plays which are being presented. L'HIron- 
delle, mentioned last. Is not the play of Mme. 
Rejane's repertoire, hut Is something new and 
of an entirely different order, dealing with the 
sinking of a submarine. It Is also different. It 
Is said (I have not seen It) from The Submarine, 
which Olea Netbersole secured from the Grand 
Gulgnol Theatre here a few years back. 

From Paris the auto-theacre went to Versailles 
and from there to Lille. It Is meeting every- 
where with Instantaneous success, as It should. 
The prices run from one to three franca (20 to 
60 cents), which, for this country, la like 
giving seats away. It costs that much to see 
an ordinary motion picture show. 

The venture is capitalized at S160.000. there 
being 8,000 shares at *20 each. It Is expected 
that the rolling theatre will pay Cor itself in 
short order and yield large dividends to stock- 
holders. For scenery, properties, costumes, sal 
arles, etc.. $47,000 a year is considered suffi- 
cient; for taxes, insurances, route expenses, stor- 
age dnring winter, etc.. $41,000 is to be added, 
the total expenses being calculated at $88,000 
a year. Counting 830 performances s year, with 
a paid attendance at $400 each performance, 
would make $132,000 Income a year, to which 
could be added $7,200 from programs, ushering 
and cloak-room privileges, etc. All said and 
done, a profit of $60,000 a year Is expected.

LONDON NEWS LETTER. 

(Continued from page 10.) 

Then, too. the new Variety Theatres Con- 
trolling Company Is sIbo Joining np one big or- 
ganization after another. With Sir Edward 
Moss at the head. It has already brought the 
De Frece. Butt and Barrasford halls Into the 
scheme, and now negotiations are proceeding 
to bring the McNangbton music balls Into the 
combine. The McXaoghton Circuit comprises 
drama houses, picture shows and regular music 
halls, principal among which are at Blackburn, 
Burnley, Halifax, Carlisle, Southampton. War- 
rington, Battersea, Batb, Bradford, Southport 
and Hnddersfleld. 

I will keep you in touch with these arrange- 
ments as they proceed, but I would advise 
any artists thinking of booking dates here to 
take careful note of them. 

Marie Tempest Ir not to come to your aide 
Just now after all, the Shnberts having re- 
leased her from her contracts for her American 
tour. She has Just finished her sesson at the 
Duke of York's and will reopen in September 
with a new play by Arnold Bennett, the novel- 
ist, called The Honeymoon, at the Royalty. 

Things remain awful dull here generally and 
will do so for the next four weeks. At present, 
with the exception of Kismet — which amaies one 
more and more on each visit on account of its 
magnificence — hardly a theatre Is doing any real 
business and a good many might just as well 
put the shutters up. I suppose a couple of 
summers like the present one would bring your 
custom of shutting the theatres in the summer 
right into general use. But the next summer 
may be one of the usual kind! 

By the way, there has Just died In Adelaide 
the actor who claimed to be the plainest man 
on the stage— one Grattan Coughlan. He once 
said: "I was shown the photograph of an Amer- 
ican actor who claimed to have the homeliest 
face oh earth. 1 eent him my picture. He 
wrote back: 'Mr. Coughlan. don't bit. I give 
up without a struggle. But my face Is my 
own; surely yours has been tampered with!' " 

I suppose there never has been a season In 
which so many American artists have been over 
this side as the present one. and a good many 
people have been asking me lately -why. taking 
Into account their abilities and home successes, 
they do not make more of a hit here. Of 
course, many of them do score heavily, but, as 
a matter of fact, the majority do not hit the 
mark as well as they should. And this, of 
course, is all the more remarkable, because 
Great Britain offers year by year an Increas- 
ingly large number of lucrative engagements, 
both In vaudeville and comedv. and English 
audiences— despite Marie Dressier and one or 
two others — are always well disposed towards 
American artists, provided, that is, that they 
don't start off' by cursing England and the 
English as soon as they get here. But, my 
own view is that the reason of the comparative 
failure of many artists from your side Is that 
they have little knowledge; if any. of' the 
ways of obtaining adequate publicity here, and 
they languish In the shade in consequence. After 
all, good publicity la just as necessary and is 
just as highly a specialized business here as In 
America, and any artist who comes here thinking 
that be can dispense with it makes the mis- 
take of a lifetime. I know, of course, -that we 
have a good many crooks in this line over 
here, who will Just grab all they can get from 
the performer," guaranteeing the best publicity, 
and then just forgetting hla extstence': bot. after 
all. these are In the minority. There are num- 
bers of good men here who do their work tho- 
roughly and honestly, and If any American art- 
ist, coming to this side, wants to be pat In 
toucb with one of. these, I should be only too 
glad to do anything In my power If they would 
communicate with me. But I am quite certain 
of this, that If more of those coming here 
would go to the pains of seeing they got ade- 
quate publicity, the . percentage of real suc- 
cesses would be enormously Increas ed.

held July 19, 20 and 21. The fair grounds 
occupy a splendid site, comprising forty acres 
surrounded on three sides by the Swift Current 
River. A record of 2.15 was made over the 
race track this year. A complete list of snorts 
and games was held, and considering that the 
society had only three weeks of preparation 
tor the events, the results were considered sat- 
isfactory. Preparations will be made for a 
larger and better fair next year. A. W. Grotter 
is secretary.

FIFTH AVE. BILL. 

(Continued from page 9.) 

TMa week Bert Fitzglbtron is earning a little 
extra _ money. About 9:00 o'clock Bert tells 
Ma funny gaga and sings his ludicrous parodies 
before an audience at Hammersteln's. About 
10:80 be is causintr an assembly at tbe Fifth 
ATenue to bowl with glee. Working four shows 
a. day, if his energy Is not sapped out, will 
soon make Bert a wealthy man. 
. At. White and bis Melody Maids gave tbe 
show- a most fitting finale. Accompanied by 
three girls who played pianos. White and one 
of the Melody Maids gang That Mysterious 
Bag. a very pretty opening number. While 
White and tbe lone maid were making a change 
for the next song, the three maids at the pianos 
regaled the audience with an exhibition of their 
ability as pianists. White then sang Tlddlsber 
Nightingale Please Sing Me a Song. Lonesome, 
rendered by one of the girls, was the next 
number. A piano sakt In wblch Melody In F 
and Unit's Bbapaodpt «rere played, drew much 
applause. Alexander's Sag Time Band, with 
plenty of spirit jajected In Its rendition, made 
a corking good ffifisb. Not a seat was vacated 
while the act was going on and at the finish 
tbe auditors remained long enough to applaud 
for fire or six bows. This, for a closing act, is 
somewhat unusual.

tbe misfits gained more than anything else the 
Tolijy of laughs brought forth from the audi-

of tbe story, wherein Herbert Elliot, a young 
man of former good repute, is charged with be- 
ing a pickpocket by O'Leary, a politician, who 
has forced his attention on Grace McGraw, the 
girl who has promised to marry Elliot. Tbe 
plan of the politician is to "Job" young Elliot 
in. order to get him out of his way, and thus 
give him 10'Leary) a free hand with the girl. 
Evidence being against the prisoner, the judge 
sentences him to the State prison. This closes 
the first scene. In the meantime a young lawyer 
and former reporter hears of the case and In- 
tercedes for Elliot. Tbe second scene Introduces 
Tbe Bridge of Sighs, and is worked In one, 
thus giving an opportunity for the setting of 
the third scene In full stage. This portrays 
the "Tombs" prison, and tbe new scenery 
(shown for the first time dnrlng this engage- 
ment) Is grimly realistic. Here- the prisoners 
are awaiting their removal to the State prison. 
Dago Annie, one of the clever parts In tbe en- 
tire piece, finds Elliot's sweetheart saying good- 
bye, and Is touched by the injustice of the 
affair, and persuades her sweetheart (Slippery 
Jake), to tell who It was that really stole the 
watcb and placed It In Elliot's pocket. Jake 
"squeals," the real culprit is found, and O'Leary 
!» arrested for being implicated in a conspiracy. 
Elliot Is released and Dago Annie has earned the 
admiration and gratitude of all concerned, es- 
pecially the audience.

EUCALYPTU S DIS INFECTANT. 

Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 7 (Special to The 
Billboard). — Manager Jack Elliott of tbe Unique 
Theatre, the S. A C. house of this city, has 
patented a new style disinfecting apparatus In 
tbe shape of a eucalyptus disinfectant. It con- 
sists of a brass triangle bound with meshed 
wire and filled with eucalyptus Into whlcb are 
arranged several circular wicks. The whole 
arrangement Is mounted In front of an electric 
fan, which drives tbe pleasant odors through the 
entire floor of the theatre, clearing the air and 
killing all germs. Manager Elliott now has one 
of these disinfectants in operation In the 
Unique balcony, but will build another for tbe 
lower floor In a few days. He will also raise 
the floor of tbe balcony to a higher angle, giv- 
ing a better all-around view of the stage and 
will increase the seating capacity of the theatre 
to abont two hundred seats more. Center 
aisles will be cut out on both floors, and only 
right and left aisles will be employed, thus 
making every seat a good one with full view 
of tbe stage, and dispensing with posts. Fancy 
upholstered leather opera chairs will be In- 
stalled on both floors In place of the present 
wooden ones. The work of reconstruction will 
begin at once.

operating small antes on a track. The ride 
Is ten cents, and the cars are always full. 

There Is also a Witching Waves device on the 
grounds, located at the end of the Bowery. 

CREATION. 
One of the most divinely Impressive spectacles 
that the skill of man has ever Invented Is Cre- 
ation, which depicts the majestic drama of the 
birth of our world as told In the Bible. Occu- 
pying a beautiful buUding, erected at an ex- 
pense of $100,000, for the express purpose of 
its presentation, it is a monument to the confi- 
dence of expert showmen In the public's willing- 
ness to patronise shows of merit. This Is the 
fifth season of Creation at Rlvervlew. and Its 
every performance Is played to capacity. Crea- 
tion Is under the general management of Sam C. 
HaUer, whose similar spectacles at the exposi- 
tion In Seattle and elsewhere have given him 
a recognized position In the world of amusement. 

MONITOR AND MERRIMAC. 

This wonderful panorama of the most dra- 
matic and stirring event in our great Civil War 
is also under the direct general management of 
Sam C. Haller. Like Creation It occupies a spe- 
cialty constructed bunding, representing an out- 
lay of $100,000. In which everything ttuu win 
add to the comfort and pleasure of the patrons 
has been considered. Another feature that it 
has In common with Creation la the comfortable 
ante-room wherein the great crowds awaiting 
the next performance may sit luxuriously In 
massive leather and- wicker chairs, and contem- 
plate a series of beautiful paintings representing 
scenes or the great conflict of '61. The show 
Is much more than a panorama, depleting as It 
does the actual deploying of the Confederate 
battleship, Virginia or Merrimac, against the 
Federal vessels in Hampton Roads, with dire 
results to the latter, with Its final vanqulsh- 
ment by the Monitor, the "Tankee cheesebox on 
a plank," as ft waa contemptuously called by the 
Confederates. 

INFANT INCUBATORS. 

Near the Western Avenue entrance. In a beau- 
tiful little building buUt exclusively for that 
purpose, 'are the famous Infant Incubators, which 
have been the recipients of gold medals st the 
expositions in Berlin. '96: London, '97; Omaha, 
'98; Buffalo, 1901, and St. Louis, 1904. There 
are five Incubators, wherein Infants wblch are 
prematurely born, or other new-bora babies that 
are weak, are tenderly nursed. It Is s most In- 
structive show that appeals to every person, old 
or young. It Is under the proprietorship of Dr. 
M. A. Couney. 

SKATING RINK. 
For five years the Rlvervlew Roller Skating 
Rink, at the extreme south end of the park, 
has been making records In the world of ath- 
letics. The rink occupies a specially constructed 
and splendidly equipped bunding, the property 
of the Northwest Amusement Company, of which 
Mr. P. . T. Harmon Is president and manager. 
The floor area is 250x175 feet, with eight and 
a half laps to the mile. It Is the fastest track 
In the world, with a record of 2:27. Every 
afternoon and evening, winter and summer, the 
rink Is In operation and Is always crowded 
with merry skaters. A excellent orchestra, un- 
der the direction of Jesse M. So per, bandmaster. 
Is one of the features.
