STORMY SCENE EXPECTED

EQUITY MANAGER NOW LAWYER

that Harry F. McGarvle. president of the cor¬

poration, intenda delivering a spirited wddress

to the dlrectorste, which is likely to create a

stir even more noticeable than wss caused by

some of tbe statements of Mr. McGarvle quoted

in this paper.

The Br*>rs Expositions, Inc,, is a New Tork

in<*oriH‘rBllon, capitalixed for $850,000 of 7 per

cent preferred tlock and $5o0,000 7 per cent first

mortgage gold bonds. There were also Iseued

lOO.tklo shaie* of common voting stock. Of the

latter considerable was purchased by showmen,

it was learned today, and it is the small stock¬

holder that Mr. McGarvle Intends to fight for.

It is said that he will make a paramount Issue

at the Pecember meeting of the financial loss

that would be caused the concessionaires and

other sbjwmrn by s slump in stock, which might

result from mismanagement or a stubborn re¬

sistance to modern method* that he says has

characterized many of the moves of one member

of the directorate.

In this connection it ia recalled that a Bronx

Bewspaper publiahed on September 10 an edi¬

torial in which it was said in effect that

Deputy Ucenae Commlsaioner “Jim” Geraghty.

Democratic leader of the First Assembly Dis¬

trict in the lower Bronx, was host to the chil¬

dren of hla dlalrlct recently at Starlight Park,

and he condemned the action of a certain

officious park official In virtually throwing the

children out of Starlight Park before the closing

hour. Another incident that was called to mind

by a abowman today who spent most of the

summer in Starlight Park was the announcement

made late in the aeasoo that a Mardl Gras

would be held at the park the week of E'eptem-

her 26-October 3. The press bureau of the park

was instructed to make announcement of the

•vent to the newspapers of New Tork City.

Then, without any apparent cause whatever, tbe

press department was almilarly instructed by

the officious Individual that, altho the Mardl

Gras would be b^ld as announced, no publicity

was to be given tbe event or no special attrac¬ tions added. The free vaudeville was cut to one AdrUtlc with her company of dancing girl*, noons a week at the Opera House were not

coarse, entailed a heavy loss to tbe corporation.

Of interest in connection with thin story is

the incident that occurred last summer, when

the “re.vlgn*tlon*' of I-. A. Beebe, secretary of

the corporation, was noised about the show

world and Col. W. C. McConnell, a Shamokln

(la.) banker, was given hia seat in tbe director¬

ate. This Is believed by many to bnve been a

etrategic move on the part of a party who

thought it well to oust anyone not entirely in

accord with tbe general scheme of things, altho

It is generally believed that Mr McConnell was

not at all familiar with tbe situation and had

DO ulterior motive in accepting the directorship.

Other directors in the incorporation are: Harry

K. Mount, E. n. Mount. George Belling (who ia

Mr. Mount’s secretary), Clarence J. Hand (at¬

Editor Billboard. Cincinnati, Ohio:

Dear Sir—No doubt you are in receipt of many letters like this one, but there Is little possibility of overdoing the matter. I want to say that for a very long time I have followed the “Patterson James” items in The Billboard, and not until recently have I realized just how important they have become to me. I have absorbed them like so much daily food, not knowing Just why I did it, but the fact is I can not too highly express my appreciation of them, for they are JUST, and, at all times, FEARLESS. Out here in this country we have no other thing to go by but The Bill¬ board, and I am sure you will pass the appreciation along to the writer of these boxed-ln Items, ^ they are the very first thing I read when I get the new Billboard. Sincerely,

Reports Substantial En¬

Undertaking

In a recent Issue of The Billboard a well-

considered plan was set forth for forming a

League of Celebrations Cities extending from

Coast to Coast. George L. Hutebin, sponsor

for this movement, has received a great deal of

substantial encouragement In this undertaking.

The Chambers of Commerce in numberless

cities are getting squarely behind the idea and

doing all in their power to make the enterprise

a success. In the Chambers of Commerce are

tbe “live wires” whose pep puts over every

successful venture, and it is particularly fitting

that they should endorse this scheme of things.

It is believed that their guardianship will con¬

serve all the energies of the people for impor¬

tant future aetivlties.

The Tercentenary of the Landing of the Pil¬

grim Fathers has inspired nrany communities

to celebrate the event in becoming manner,

and to extend the scope of their endeavor to

include other gigantic affairs.

Bite of the proposed New Blackstone Tlieater

is scheduled to be beard this month in the Cir¬

cuit Court. Plans >had been made to start

construction of the theater in tbe spring, but

because of thie court action it was necessary to

abandon them. However, tbe delay has been

to the advantage of tbe theater owners, ns due

to the decline in the cost of building materials

total expense. The proposed theater Is to be a

(Reviewed Monday Matinee, October 18)

C(X>1 and cloudy weather proved to be good for attendance. The house was packed after the fourth act. Nine acts were offered, altho billed for eight. A long list of “well knowns.” Frederick N. Daab playeid the overture, "Blaze of Glory,” by Holzman, at two o’clock promptly.

2:02—Klnograms to music, "Wedding Dance,” by Luske. Much better than last week. Among the features were the Wichita Wheat Exposition Pa¬ rades and the Fat Stock Show Track Parade at Los Angeles.

2:14—Johnson and Baker, two men known at this house for their great hat and club Juggling, as of the team of Johnson, Baker and Johnson, who recently appeared in the same position. Both are masters of their art and Mr. Baker is developing fast as an unique comique. They took a few curtains, altho they were not on the billing. They started the show with a number of hearty laughs and much applause.

2:22—The Jack Hughes Duo, a man with a comet and a woman at the piano. They played duets and solos on cornets, banjos, violin and banjos. The man, who we will suppose to be Jack Hughes, is all there on the cornet, as a solo violinist and a master of the saxophone. Guess the lady Is Miss Duo. She is attractive and materially assisted in putting over a conventional musical offering of the kind this bouse has not had in many moons, but much needed for diversion. Hope they come again. This duo combination nearly stopped the performance, with the folks still climbing over the ones seated. The medley used for the saxophone closing seemed to Just fit.

2:37—Long Tack Sam and Compan.v, seven men and a woman, one of the comics being the first Chinese clown seen around here. The combina¬ tion is listed to be wonder workers. That is putting It mildly. In a magnifi¬ cent setting and gorgeous costumes appropriate to their nativity, these ma¬ gicians, Jugglers, equilibrists, contortionists, hand balancers, bar perform¬ ers, swinging rope gymnasts and ground tumblers proved a revelation to those assembled. Judging from their finish. Long Tack Sam and Company, if merit counts for anything, could be appropriately billed as “A Big Sensa¬ tion Supreme.” The woman gets away with a most ambitious feat of plate spinning during a contortionistic routine that at once gained admiration and applause. The single bar acrobatics of two in competition brought new feats that can possibly be seen only with this troupe. On a whole it’s a genuine novelty act- They stopped the show dead still. ,

2:5« — EXTRA ADDED FEATURE. Beatrice Herford presented, in one, with a gold chair and table for props, her original character mono- log. Hers is the very acme of artistic refinement, put over with perfect enunciation and a pleasing voice. Her program consisted of “The Matinee Girl,*' “The Hotel Child,” ”At the Ten-Cent Store” and “The Baby in tho Street Car.’’ Miss Herford used real showmanship and did Just enough- Beveral bows.

3:14—EXTRA ADDED ATTRACTION. Joe Morris and Flo Campbell, a comedian and a singer. The same act as on their last appearance, He still works in an upper box and gets away with his style of comedy. Stop right here and make a note of this: Flo Campbell can put over a “tear drop ballad” as few women in vaudeville can, and she did on this occasion. Same Morris and Campbell hit as on previous vislta

3:30—FEATURE EXTRAORDINARY. Emma Cams In songs, mono- log and a dance close. J. Walter 1,/eopold played the piano and danced with Miss Carus in the finishing number. Each time she comes around the circuits she has new songs and material that helps. The whole offer¬ ing appeared to be running under low speed for some reason or other. Be¬ ing a popular house favorite, coupled with showmanship, put the act over in fine style, altho she admits the taking on of more flesh and the applica¬ tion of henna. A genuine hit. Many curtains.

3:53—Intermission, with music, “Broadway Something,” by Fischer. 4:01—^“Topics of the Day,” edited by Charles McDonald, with music,

"Sweetheart Waltz,” by Storey, the hits going to selections from New York Telegraph, Voo Doo, New York News, Cartoon’s Magazine, Newark News, Carnegie Technical Puppet and The Schenectady Union Star.

4:06—ENGAGEMENT DE LUXE. Adelaide and Hughesi^the Ameri¬ can dancing stars of the Varietiea Special set and a dancIng*story made up the framework of the offering. Attired for the ballroom they open with a song, go to an old fashioned waltz, then an impression of minstrels of the past by Mr. Hughes, excellently done; so well that many in the audi¬ ence said ’’George Primrose,” “Carroll Johnson” and others. Then came Miss Adelaide with some excellent work on her toes, far better than has been seen here since Bessie Claj'ton’s last showing at this house. The fin¬ ish as The Toy Soldier and the Dancing Doll is a creation of this team that defies imitators, and ’tls well. It should not be spoiled for the originals. During the rest periods, of which there were not many, Dan Caslar enfer- tained at the plano.*where he had been seated at the opening. He played a solo with one hand while he smoked a cigaret, to the entire satisfaction of a critical assemblage. Applause and curtains, and more applause gave way for the next card.

4:32—Harry Kranz and Bob Laselle. Harry Is the real singer and Bob Is the dancer, when both are not singing together, and when Harry is singing and Bob is dancing. This team has vitality and you can understand what they are singing about. Lasalle’s dancing finish, in which he gives impressions of Pat Rooney. Gi'orge White, Eddie Leonard. Frisco and the Marconi Brothers, proved that he has been rehearsing and observing since his last appearance here. Same hit they usually get, which is saying lots.

4:47—ENGAGEMENT EXTRAORDINARY. Four Marx Brothe*-s and their company in ‘"N Everything,” opened with the same wharf set aa seen before and had them going from their entrance. Nobody moved of any Importance to their success from an audience point of view. Before five even a review can successfully hold this house if the finish was like the start. The Four Marx Brothers of gifted musicians and comedlana scored, as usual.

Exit march, “Dolly, I Love You,” by Wadsworth. No programs yet. .Another big bill listed-,In the lobby frames as "com¬

ing.” Congratulations to the management and bookers for the present of¬ fering and those of like caliber to follow. Tf there had not been some delay between acts all would have been out before the dead line.—WILLIAM JUDKINS HEWITT.

of helpers even seems to improve It each time. Nineteen mlnatos.

Bobby Randall, dishing out a mixture of com¬

edy effort# disguised as a nut. Be doea not

quite hit the hall In either bis ainging or patter,

Bloosom Seeley and Bennie Fields, also Sam

HEARTY RECEPTION

Tendered New White*Spear8 Service— Goldie Pemberton Assists in Re¬

ceiving Guests

Boftoe, Oct. 13.—The Blllbotrd man at Boa-

ton had tbe pleaaare of being proaent at the

opening of the new Wbite-Spears Service Book¬

ing Offlce at 180 Tremont street last week.

liYom noon on Monday, when Bert Spears, wbo

for tbe past seven years was connected with the

B. F, Keith Vandeville Exchange, arrived from

New Tork to take ap his duties at tbe new ex¬

change, it was one continual round of hand¬

shaking for tbe popular booking man. The of¬

flce was crowded with theatrical people; it

seemed that every act playing Boston was trying

to get near Bert to give him tbe glad band and

wish him lurk in his new venture. On the desk

also were expressions of good lock from numer-

erona acta.

Assisting In receiving tbe guests was Goldie

Pemberton, now Mrs. Bert Spears. She imparted

tbe Information that on last March the event

took place and that they were very happy. The

little lady was certainly happy and overjoyed at

the Incoming messages and visitors. William E.

White, with whom Mr. Spears has associated,

has been an Independent theatrical broker for

many years at this address as the Old Colony

Agen'-y. He has an excellent reputation. He

also was highly please<] at the wonderful recep¬

tion tendered to hla new partner in tbe show

business.

UNIQUE STUNT

New Tork, Oct. 14.—Jack Patton and Lo¬

retta Marks, now playing the Orpbeum Circuit

in the vaudeville sketch, “Bits and Pieces,"

announced their engagement to be married on

the stage of the Orpheum Theater, San Fran¬

cisco, at one of last week's evening perform¬

ances. Standing beneath the huge we<lding

bells that form part of the sets of tbe act

Mr. Patton slipped a beautiful engagement ring

oo tbe Anger of his fiancee amid tbe deafening

applause of the audience.

CHANGE BURKE REPERTOIRE

New Tork, Oct. 15.—Seveasl changes have

been made in the repertoire of Tom Burke, the

tenor, whom William Morris is touring in this

country, and wbo recently opened bis American

engagement at tbe Hippodrome. It was dlscov-

ered that the program, as originally planned,

was not most desirable. For bis encore numbers

Mr. Burke now uses "La Donne e Mobile (Blg-

olettl),'* Pagllacci Aria,** “Mother Machree"

and “Tarantella Napolitani,** by Boesini, in al-

ditlon to several other numbers.

PRESENTING NEW PLAYLET

New Tork, Oct. 15.—Bert Wilcox and Jose¬

phine LaCroIx and their company will present

a new comedy playlet on the Keith Circuit start¬

ing October 18. The sketch is by John Stokes,

author of “A Regular Business Man,” “Between

Trains," etc., and deals with solving the serv¬

ant problem. It carries a cast of four people

and a dog, and is a Laurence Schwab produc¬

tion.

FERDNAS JOIN THURSTON

New Tork, Oct. 15.—Mr. and Mrs. Walter

Terdna. formerly with the Great Janeen of the

Johnny J. Jones Exposition, are now signed up

for the season with Thurston, the magician.

They will carry their family, a boy of two years

and baby girl. During the past summer Mr.

Fcrdna maintained a side-sbow at Coney Island.

“FOLLOW ME, GIRLS” SCORES

Frank Rich's “Follow Me, Girls" is said to

be koing big over tbe Loew Time to the Coast. Flo Kennedy and Harry Carr are featured.

They are assisted by Jack Comln and a chorus

of live show girls. Miss,Kennedy's “I^ook What

Tou've Done With Tour Doggone Dangerous

Eyes'* Is easily the feature song of the act.

SEEKING ED REID

Mrs, Laura Mosher. Route 4, Box 25, Muske¬

gon. Mich., would like to get in touch with F.d

Reid, an oldtime comedian, who had a son, E.

A. Reid, Jr., last heard from at Dayton, O.,

in 1883. .tnyone knowing Mr. Reid's address

is requested to communicate with Mrs. Mosher.

YOUNGEST ORGANIST

New Orleans, Oct. 15.—Annette Scagllano, 18.

is perhaps the youngest organist in the S<juth.

and the organ she is handling is the largest out¬

side of New York City. 8he has been pianist at

the Palace for the past year and a half.

PISONI IN NEW TURN

New Tork. Oct. 13.—Paul Pls-.r.l. the “Wop

rometllsn." who was formerly in the “Emi¬

grants" act, la now breaking in a new singing

and talking art with Marie Williams.

Ton know those "average" fellows that s*ng with n man at the piami? Weil, we are in favor of an organisation for the purification of their voicea. •

WInton Rrofhers have a hand-balancing nov¬ elty. The hl^echil "droii" shows the front of an iinfinislieil I>rl( k bouse, with the mortar beds, scaffolding, ladders and sand around. They dress as brickla.vers and carry dinner p.ails. A whis¬ tle blows and they go to work. It blows again and they slop. Their hit at Proctor's Fifth Avenue, New York, Inst week, was a real one.

Know those fellows over In France that box with their feet? Well, some of you agents should bring over a troniie of them for vaudeville. No, we do not know who makes "foot boxing gloves.'* Don't need any imitatlont of thla.

The Four Fords did well at the B. F. Keith Colonial last week. Good scenery and plenty of excellent wo«d»*n-shoe dancing. Ma.vme Gehriie and Eddie Ford great. The other two seem not to have any names. They are g<H>d, too.

“Yours Merrily" John R. Rogers la In a quan<l.iry. Ilia 80th birthday falls on Wednes¬ day, December 22, three days beftire Christmas. His time to begin bis vaudeville tour calls for opening on Monday, December 20. The question now before the “powers" seems to he whether to open him on or before the eventful 22, says “Yours Merrily."

ARTISTS—Whose are you using? 8ongs. Gags. Rusinpss.

^^la the property yours? Or did you "choose"

Vaudeville around New Tork misses the kind of an act the Four Huntings once put over suc¬ cessfully.

The great fault with some vaudeville artists la they would rather play regularly than sin¬ cerely.

An executive Is one who understands the eter¬ nal fitness of all things. Sorry to say that few in the vaudeville acting profession are gifted with this faculty.

Billy Browning and Arthur Neale, vaudeville authors, "cap" their letterhead with: "Our sense of humor, experience and natural writing ability means more salary for you." Sounds all right.

WHAT IS necessary to become a “HEADLINER”? “BOX-aFFlCE CARD"? “EXTRA ADDED ATTRACTION”? “EXTRA ADDED FEATURE"? “FEATCRE EXTRAORDINARY"? “ENGAGEMENT EXTRAORDINARY'*? “ADDED ATTRACTION"? “ENGAGEMENT DE LUXE” and other “ap¬

pellations'' of the press agent to pacify the vanity of artists and to make smooth tbe psth- 'way of agents, msnagers and biMikers? Should we also add “Authora"? Yes, we think we should.

Fred Gerner'g new act will be out soon. FLed baa been sick.

ACTOR—Write me an act. ACTHOR—Make a deposit. ACTOR—What for? MORAI^lf a tailor cuts a piece of cloth for a suit be gets a deposit. AUTHOR—IA>D't rack your brains for those that can not understand.

LET'S HEAR FROM Doc Baker. Tolly Walker, Bud and Jack Pearson, Claudia Coleman, Officer Yokes, Frank Brown, Wills and Ilandd Brown. Apulia Duo, latngford and Frederick. Mabel Ilariier, Cb.arlet and Mamie Butters, Winehell and Green, Bld^g Lloyds. Eugene Emmett, I'aul ind Pauline, GHmore and Castle, Chle and T’ny Harvey, Earl and Simsiiine. James Watts, Ted I.ewis.

Diamond, Arthur RIghy, Beck and Stone, Bobby Ilensbaw, Crescent Com- e<ly Four, Grew-Bates and Crtmpany, Mande Allen, F'riseo, I.anretta McDermott, Prosper and Mnret, Smith and Keefe, Spencer and Bose, ind others.

Real ARTISTS are not afraid of the Gns .Sun Time. Wbo gave Frank Van Hoven a chance?

Agents—How do you tell what an act la worth? What Is your bails for determining values—and why?

Does the average vaudeville artor Itelleve himself to be what the press agent and billing say be la?

Bert I-evy will find a welcome back In American vaudeville.

Where would the “Revues'* get off If It was not for tbe specialty artist?

Is the "Revue" going to force the putting on of “Afterp’eres” In vaudeville boiiset, with all tbe Aciote on the bills taking part? Wbo said “Don't start that thing now"? Sometaaly will.

WHY? “S' me orchestras.** “No programs.** “Over Ihree-boor shows,** “.Mr persons! affairs from tbe rostrum.** “I'rofesslrinsl spi'I.niise extorters.** “Vs'slevllle critics.•• “Anything.•'

Speaking to the manager is going to get you a long ways?

It Is an estnhllslu'd fact In New York that the man who “pas.-^cs the buck'* is the man that is “higher up.**

Sam Mann has a good sketch. Saw it at Proctor's Fifth Avenue last week.

B. F. Keith's Riverside Theater, New York, has a moat attractive program. “Always a good abow" la about the way tbe billing can go.

LETTER WRITERS—Don’t send in Items and then at the bottom in a P. S. say 'IVm't ure onr name.** If your name means noth'ng to you. don’t bother ns with that Information. There are too many pe<iple in the world wlio place a value on tbeir names for us to bother with tbe other kind. Now get sore.

Why spend money for acts and put them on after 5 o’clock If tbe customers are not going to stay in and see them?

The closing of the big circuses and camlvalt sifOD will make available many novelty acts for vaudeville. Don't forget this.

Suppose you never heard of a certain act. What differenee does It make? Six montbt ago very few had ever heard of tbe next man that is going to be elected President of tbe United States.

If an act is known on tbe big time as “Tom and Jim," why Is It when on some small time they want to be billed as “Jack and Jill”? It's all wrong.

And we thought the ballroom dancing fad of vaudeville was all over with.

WHAT WOULD THE “GREENWICH FOL- LTES'* do without tbe following vaudeville artists?

Frank Crumitt. Jay Brennan and Bert S'avoy. Ivan Bmkoff and Mile. Phoebe. Pee Wee Myeri and Ford Hanford. James Clemons. Constance Farber. Collins and Hart. Venita Gould.

Long Tack Sam and hla Oriental Wonder Workers are still billed in tbe lobby of B. P. Keith's Palace, New York, as “eomlng.'* If they ever get there we figure they will be a bit.

Rtsge Msnagers—If you did not allow so much "curtain stealing" your iterformance would not drag, as oome do.

“Mother, do people on the vaudeville stage do anything but sing and dance?" "Yea. my darling daughter—but they won’t 'let’em'.’*

Where Is Jack Morrlasey, the Australian ‘'Whip Cracker," wbo taught Fred Stone bow to do it in "Tip-Top"?

HAZEL MORAN, the Western whirlwind with a rope, was a big hit |n tbe opening spot at Pn)ctor'i Fifth Avenue last Thursday. She la a wonder with the lar'at and scored emphatically when manipulating it. Ilaxel needs some new "palter." and when she gets it she should speak distinetly. A weak voice lost much of the effect of her act. They all want to be Will Rogers for K»me reason or other.

Many are anxious find wbst the style for 1321 vaiidevllle acts will be. It is certsln the style will chnnge. Wbo said “Jaxa’* and “Shimmy"? Forget It. Should have been for¬ gotten long ago.

NOVELTIES: All slur bill of Irish arts. Dramsile sketches with “heart piinrhea.*’ Mneirni pro<Iiirt1<>ns that tell a story. Dcamne played by mnrtoneta. Juggling arts like the original Agoust Family

bad. Sketches that make people think and bring

laughter and tears during their action. Clog dancers.

IS YOUR ACT Knilo.scd tiy preta, public and clergy? A revelatbmT Enlerlnliilng? Dlver« tied? Appealing? Hllarloua? If so, then why are yon not working?

AL O. BARNES—Why not a Trained Tiger Art for the big houaes? Have a Diagir.il forest and all that. Oh. it can be done, with tbe m<Kinilgbt and all that.

OCTOBER 23, 1920 T li e Otllboard

“EXPERIENTIA DOCET” There is nothing like Experience for driving home a lesson. Experience is a hard school, and the proverb truly says, “Some fools will not learn

even in the School of Experience.” For some months we have not thought it necessary to speak to the Actors of this

Country. We preferred to let the hard, cold Logic of Events drive home its own lesson, so we

waited for the new season to commence and to run its course for some weeks before we attempted to teach once more the lessons that the present conditions should prove to the Actor.

The vaudeville season has been in operation now some five or six weeks and during that time the Iron must have entered into the Soul of every Sensible Actor.

One Actor I met in Chicago told me that his first Jump for his wife and him¬ self cost him $97,00 for railroad fares and $9.70 for one berth. Added to this was his royalty of $25.00 and his 10% that he was paying to the agent and the cost of his room in the town in which he was playing, and, as he confessed to me, out of his so-called salary he had nothing left.

Those Actors who pay any attention to the improvement of their act, their reputa¬ tion and their profession (all three of which are so intermingled that it is impossible to separate one from the other) read these articles and therefore I can refer them back to what I prophesied last Spring, where in many columns and many times I pointed out that unless Actors demanded a big increase in their salaries in the Fall they would be pen¬ niless.

I quoted the rise in the prices of necessities, of hotels and food and I advised everyone of them to make a bold bid for an increase of salary.

The Managers took my advice, and on the average, throughout the Country, raised their prices of admission 50% (fifty per cent). The Dollar seats becoming $1.50 and the Fifty ($0.50) cent seats Eighty (^.80) cents.

I am glad to know that nearly every member of this Organization stood out and ob¬ tained a higher salary.

As business men, naturally, the Managers fought it by every means in their power. They used cries of poverty. They doubled acts up in New York. They promised great things for the future, but on the majority of our members these promises j^nd other arguments used failed to have any effect, and our members generally raised their salaries.

Up to the present it has not been possible as yet to reduce railroad fares for our mem¬ bers, but we are still doing our best.

IT IS A REMARKABLE THING and one we cannot stress too strongly and point out too often that of all the persons and Organizations which are supposed to be interested in the \’’audeville Actor this Organization was and is the only one that has tried to save money for them on the railroads.

WE ARE THE ONLY PERSONS WHO HAVE FOUGHT THE RATROAD IN¬ CREASE IN COURT, TAKING IT UP AS FAR AS THE CIRCUIT COURT OF AP-

* PEALS AND TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES. We are the only persons who have been in touch and in communication with the In¬

terstate Commerce Commission, and we are the only persons who have shown the slight¬ est interest in the enormous increase in the Vaudeville Actors’ cost of living.

SHOULD NOT SUCH ACTION ON OUR PART BE SUPPORTED? SHOULD NOT THE ACTOR FOR WHOM WE ARE WORKING HELP TO PAY

A LITTLE OF THE EXPENSES? It is not much we are asking. It is as a drop in the bucket, compared with what we are trying to do for you! YES!!

YOU, THE ACTOR OR ACTRESS. Just think it over.

Night and day, week and month, year by year in the American Artistes’ Federation you have someone who is unceasingly striving for you, your good and your betterment.

In the .American Artistes* Federation you have someone who is constantly trying to elevate the standards of Art, the standards of conditions and the standard of Employment for you.

Conditions are better. THANKS TO US. CONTRACTS ARE BETTER. THANKS TO US. CANCELATION IS ALMOST UNKNOWN. THANKS TO US. Gratitude insists that you support us. Common sense compels you to support us. In your own interest you should be interested. The way you can support us, the way you can help us, the way you can be interested

is by becoming a member of the American Artistes* Federation AND CARRYING A BLUE CARD.

**Experientia docetV* Experience teaches!! Does it teach you?

Facts Versus Fiction Good iDomlDg! What is the color of your

card? * * * * 4

As the clown says in the pantomime, “'nere we are again.’* Much to the surprise and dis¬ gust of our enemies.

• • * * •

It has been amusing for the past few months to have to listen to the stories of the enemies of the actor and the tools of the managers.

Gleefully, and Joyously, some of them said; “Mountford has fallen out with The Billboard.” Others gold: “At last. The Billboard has got¬ ten wise to Mountford.” A few more said: "No Wonder the articles ceased. The editor at last has wakened up to what Mountford Is." .\nd then they bold Joyous meetings to celebrate their own malicious inventions.

And at their last meeting they ail agreed that we were down and out and that real organ¬ ization amongst actors was at an end.

Their Joy was not directed at me personally, or at these articles individually, but because they thought that the temporary silence In tlie.se pages meant the final triumi)b and victory of their employers snd paymasters, the managers.

And when they read last week that these articles were to be resumed how they fumed— how they roared—how they shrieked!

It afforded me great amusement to read in one sheet last Friday that I was through in vaude¬ ville; that I bad finished. And the same night I was addressing a crowded meeting of vaude¬ ville actors in Chicago.

The same sheet with “the wish father to the thought” Intimated that all connections with The Billboard had ceased. It wished it so hard that it thought it was true. And when it read the announcement last Wednesday it nearly turned green again.

The argnments I nse in these columns may be laughed at and sneered at by some actors, but managers evidently think they are very good, for—

The theatre owners of los Angeles are forming an association, and in their preliminary propa¬ ganda, they say this:

“Personally, I believe every person believes in organization. Its benefits are too numerous to be overlooked or Ignored. But to those who do not I have In mind an article that appeared recently in a magazine concerning a man's visit to an insane asylum.”

Yon will notice that he doesn't mention that the magazine was The Billboard, and that the article was mine. He proceeds to quote my exact words.

“I was astounded at the number of Inmates and the comparatively small guard that con¬ trolled them. Remarking about this, I said; ‘It’s a wonder they do n<>t combine and overpow¬ er the few attendants.’ ”

The superintendent smiled, as he replied: “My dear sir, do you not know that lunatics never combine? That is one of the first signs of re¬ turning Intell’gence—they begin to form com¬ mittees or groups for any purpose whatever. You can’t argue with a lunatic—arguments and facta have no weight with him. As a result they never organize, but are satisfied with their con¬ dition, and the promises of those who control them.”

Now, If my arguments are good enongb to be repeated and used by managers, surety they ought to be good enough for and to be need by actors.

But with some actors it is useless to try argnments. for apparently they have no brains outside their act.

If yon want to help ns, as is set forth in an¬ other column, remember, all you have to do is to fill out an application blank and send it to ns or if yon haven't an application blank Just fill out this:

“Please make me a member of the Ameri¬ can Artistes’ Federation, subject to its Con¬ stitution and By-Laws and Application blank.” Then sign your name and send It in with

$11.00. But remember, that the application blank con¬

tains the following clause: “AND 1 HEREBY AGREE, if any of the

above statements, after my election, are proved to be Incorrect, that I shall Imme¬ diately and automatically cease to be a member, and any sums I may have paid into this organization shall be forfeited.”

Th« address is still the same, A A. F., tUO BROADWAY. J^EW YORK CITY, to which you should Bend your application, and, if you are a member, don’t forget to send in your dues.

The American Artistes’ Federation is here to stay, and always will stay. It is not going to be absor^d by anyone or swallowed by anyone, nor am I aware that anyone wishes to absorb it or swallow it except its enemies.

James William Fltzl'atrick is here to stay, and means to stay.

No one is going to disappear and, above all. there is going to be no “vanishing” of

Without calling upon the council members present for individual expression of opinion, Norman McKinnell, chairman of the Actors' Association, said he had not been convinced by the arguments put forward, that the matter would not be discussed or decided by those thers today, and that the matter would be considered by a full council meeting and decision given in dne time. The deputation then withdrew. McKinnell's attitude in deciding that the matter should be considered not by those present, but by another council, the composition of which fluctuates, and who might not have heard the arguments of the deputations, is likened to one jury hearing counsel for the proeerntlon and another Jury hearing connsel for the defense. It is the opinion of competent judges that the actors are driving tbemselvea into the wildemeas at tb« behest of Norman McKinnell. s

BAYLY WATCHING PARIS STRIKE A strike started at the Opera House, Paris, October 13, and. knowing the principles Involved,

the Variety Artistes' Federation sent Monte Bayly to Paris on October 16 to watch events. Any¬ thing may happen there, with a possibility of a recrudescence of last year's trouble, involving the vaudeville section, the main plank of which was an embargo on non-French acts, limiting vaudeville programs to ninety per cent Franch and the remaining ten per cent for the rest of the world. The Variety Artistes' Federation la dead against this policy, not only for itself, but also from the viewpoint of American and other friendly nations.

V. A. F. FEARS RAILWAY SYMPATHETIC STRIKE The English miners’ strike makes the vaudeville situation serious here, as probably the ralD

ways will take sympathetic action, consequently The'Variety Artistes* Federation is studying the situation, and will, on such contingency arising, call a meeting with the managers to arrange a plan of campaign to evolve means to keeping vaudeville theaters open.

MOVIE THEATER TO BE BUILT ON PICKLE FACTORY SITE Thoee hundreds of Americans who have played the Palace Theater and the hundreds of

others who haven’t, but are familiar with the top end of Charing Cross Road, going north past the Vaudeviile Club, will know, if not by eight, but also by scent, the famous factory of Crosse & Blackwell'a. It has been sold to a wealthy unnsmed syndicate for the inevitable picture theater. En passant—this French stuff looks classy—they say that after ail nel her the Palace nor the Empire are now going to do the flicker business—^bnt It’s only rumor. The site is historical, for thereon during the end of the 18th century stood the "White House,” which was the residence of the notorious Mrs. Oorneiys, but prior to that the mansion (origi¬ nally built for James Illi was the town b-'use of the Earl of Carlisle. But to "Daring Mrs. Oomelyi.” In 1760 the began her famous m.asquerades. "concerts” and gaming parties, which were patronized by "society,'' including, it is said. George III, thn King of Denmark, the Marquis of Hertford and all the bloods and roues of that day. The morality of these gatherings seems to have beeu rather questlonatile. The lady’s chi^f patrons were the Mafiuis of Queentbnry (“Old Q’*) and the notorious Duchess of Kingston, who appe.ared at one ball as Ipihlgenis "in a state.” as Horace Walpole remarked, "almost re.ndy for the aacrlflo^.” Mrs. Comelya was eventually beggared and reduced to selling asses' milk, and died in Fleet Prison in 1787.

FINE CONCERT PROGRAM

Givtn Undar Auspicas of Alliod ArtiaU at Century Theater, New York

• New York. Oct. 18.—The first concert under

the auspiree of the Allied Artlets was given

yesterday afternoon at the Century Theater

by Mme. Frances Aids, Percy Grainger and

Lawrence Leonard. Mme. Alda, in excellent

voice, upheld her Metroimlltan Opera reputation

in a program of great variety, which Included

several aongs by the American compoaera, Rog¬

ers, Maxwell and O'Hara, and one deserving

particular mention by her accompanlat, Seneca

Pierce. Her greatest effect, however, was

made In her selection from "Madam Butter¬

fly.” Grainger, aa usual, in hla inimltuhle

style and powerful dynamlce played Grieg.

Chopin and Lisxt ami hia famooa group

of typical country dances. Leonard Eng¬

lish, baritone, was a welcome addition to the

above two great artists in rather heavy con¬

trast thru bis nnmhers from *l%gliaccl” and

(Massenet’s "llerodlade.” The audience, tbo

email, was well rewarded with encores by all

the artists, but it seemed a sad commentary

that at a concert of this excellent character

there was such a preponderance of vacant aeata.

The accompaniste, Seneca Pierce and Coenraad

V. Roe, added not a little to the artistic fin¬

ish of the program.

NEW HOUSE FOR TRENTON

It'a getting pretty bad when a comely

•creen actress can't even get a Job aa waitress

(tho just why screen experience would qualify

one aa a waitress it something of a mystery),

but that’s just what has come to pass. At least

•o says a telegram received by The Billboard

Monday from Syracuse, N. Y. The wire reads:

'iBroke and out of a job Audrey Munmn, model

and screen actress, came here today and ap¬

pealed to the newspapers to get her a Job. She

has applied to every department store in town

and has offered to hire out as a waitress with¬

out result. She is I'vlng in one small room

with her mother, cooking her osm metis.”

Maybe Audrey does really want a Job. And

then, again, maybe it's a more or leas clever

hid for publicity. We don't know. Aaywsy,

it’s A "crool, crool" world.

VIRTUE ITS OWN REWARD

There if an old saying that vir.'ne it Its own

reward. Tommy Mayes, novelty mnslctl bona

•oioist, now believes it. While walking down

Seventh avenne in New York City recently ha

found a check for $20,(X>0, countersigned and

made payable to a large corporation. It needed

only a signature to make It payable to tho

bearer. Tommy, being bonest, hunted np tha

company to whom the check was made ont and

returned it to the rightful owner. Tommy's re¬

ward was "I thank you very much.”

REINHARDT’S “EVERYMAN” At his home at Salzburg. Reinhardt Itas organized an open sir performance of the old

miracle play, "Everyman,” in Hugo von llnffmanstal's setting The latter is better known to the British public aa the writer of the texts for Richard Strauss’ operas. "Everyman'” was Iterformed in the square in front of Saizbnrg Cithetlral. and reality and Illusion were trans¬ fused in the best Reinhardt tradition. With the exception of the leading woman in the light blue robes of a Rsphaol Madonna emerging from the cathedral doors to the strains of the organ, the acton rose in turn from the audience, who watrh«-d "Everynsan'B'* mother, a de¬ crepit old woman, bobble across the big square they themselves had crossed before they could occupy their seats. The cathedral bells tolled for the stage death of the actor, nourishes of trumpets sounded from the high steeple, and the organ and orehesfrs in the dome sccoin- panled the stage actions. This and perhaps the knowledge of the revival of a French "Fasalon Play” has given rise to strong rumors of a proposed Ober-Ammergiu for Germany, or at least for Bayreuth, for the dnmatic stage, where Reinhardt's genius can have full play It is al¬ leged that hit finrancial burdens in Rerlin and also the lost caused by the aeverance of his contract by hia scenic director it the real reason of bis leaving Rerlin.

“REVUE*OF 1920”

Is Called Off by Gus Edwards—Backer Alleged To Have Failed To Keep

Agreement

New York, Oct. IS.—The Gus Edwards “Revue

of 1920,” which was scheduled to open in

Atlantic City next Monday night, was called

off this (Monday) morning by Gus Edwards,

president of the producing organization. A

statement from the Edwards offices today says

that this action was taken because of the fail¬

ure of the backer, William D. Rowland, said

to be interested in the Rowland Drug Syndicate of Philadelphia, to make good on his guarunteo

providing for the financing of the organization.

Under the original contract it Is said that

Rowland undertook to guarantee placing oP the

work on costumes by a $26,000 payment and a

note for $20,000, and to finance fully the cor¬

poration himself, provided Edwards rendered

his services exclusively to the corporation for

a five-year period. According to the Rowland

pl.1.08 there was to be a production of the

annual Edwards -revue, a music publishing

subsidiary, casMng agency, film department and

vaudeville p-odneing organization. At the

eleventh hour, and when final contracts were

about to be signed, Edwards learned that Row¬

land and bis associates planned to make a

stock selling proposition out of the enterprise

Instead of putting up the money themselvee

as originally understood.

Upon the advice of his lawyers Mr. Edwards

refused to be a party to their plans and the

deal was called off. Numerous conferences

followed and fur tlie past three weeks en¬

deavors were made to arrange a definite settle¬

ment, with Rowland trying to interest outside

capital.

Following a conference with his attorney to¬

day Edwards decided to call off the show and

arrange under the regular Equity contracts to

care for ail principals and chorus members

under contract who have been rehearsing for

the past few weeks. Edwards has also In-

etructed bis attorneys to Institute suit for

$100,000 damages against Rowland for alleged

breach of agreement. It is reported he will

also sue to recover losses wbicb bo (Edwards)

sustains thru the failure of the show being

produced. At the Gus Edwards offices today

The Billboard Is informed that Edwards plans

to split the revue Into vaudeville acts and has

already placed about ninety per cent of the

people under vandevllle contracts.

MAKING “SELL-OUT” RECORD

Frederick, Md., Oct. 16.—B. Beall, master

fore the doors opened.”

’ The house is leased by the Tri-State ’Thea¬

Replace* May Anderson in *'On the Hiring Line"—Makes Good Im*

pression in Leading Role

Toronto, Oct. 13.—Upon short notice Marie

Aymes supplanted May Anderson at the Grand

Opera House in the leading role of “On the

Hiring Line,” which began its Canadian tour

recently. Miss Aaderaon is widely known lo¬

cally under her marriage name, Mrs. Trestrail,

«s a teacher of acting, and only this season

achieved the ambition of her career, which was

to go upon the road at the head of her own

company. The fact that Miss Anderson had

looked forward for so long to Just such a pro¬

fessional appearance in Toronto made her friends

feel very keenly the announcement that she

would n'lt be able to take her place in the

cast, having undergone a sudden and serious

operation at the General Hospital. Miss Aymes,

who took Miss Anderson’s role, gave a very

satisfactory performance. The work of other

members of the cast was remarkably even. It

might be mentioned that Harry Young, who has

been associated with the Robins Players for

sevcal scaions, appears as one of the Jealous

husbands. “On the Hiring Line” made a good

Impression upon the audience that witnessed IL

Occasionally some far-sighted individual, with

a disposition to help “the other fellow,” is re¬

warded for such co-operative actions.

To create something out of nothing these days

la an accompllahment. It does not always work

advantageously. The times are not frequent

when one heart of some clever Inventor, or a

■iruggltng playwright, who manages to start In

buMnesi only with the “frultt of his brain” and

confidence to hiilld for himself an enviable repu¬ tation. In regular business channels not many

men succeed in estsbllsbing themselvea perma¬

nently without, at least, the conddence of com-

merrlal frlenda at a foundation, fuch men are

those who value “acqualntancea” as an asset.

Some years ago Thomas F. Kane, president of

the Independent Poster Agency in Sew kork

City, saw an opportunity to help the abow

printing orders with a large acquaintance among

New York’i producing managers. Innumerable

managers and advance agents constantly sought

information from him regarding the location of

printing for this and for that play.

Some of these Inquiries were for plays of

doubtful quality, so far as New York was con¬

cerned tbeatricsily. Other Inquiries related to

plays that prominent producers had shelved as

paste bex-offlee material. The thoughts of oth¬

er! set Mr. Kane to thinking. Why should not

every play ever produced and every show printer

in America have a reliable representative? Kane

knew printing and prices from tbe srosllest her¬

ald to a It sheet stand. Now he took an in¬

ventory uf himself. Why shouldn't bis fund of

printing Information be dally gave out to this

and to that Individual be put to commercial

uses to his own personal advantage?

He continued selling printing and representing

a certain Ann to keep tba "wolf from the door."

At night he formed his plan of action. In due

time every theatrical poster prlntery in Amer¬

ica bad agreed with Mr. Kane that he might represent them on a commlsaloo basis tp Ibo

couple daring the year of adjustment to mar¬ ried life that Frank Craven has written and in

which he has the principal role, which was

given Its premiere at Ford’s Opera House last

•Monday evening before an audience that

laughed gayly and Intermittently during the

three “comedy-filled” acts. A pltln recount¬

ing of the plot of Mr. Craven’s comedy by no

means does It Justice, as it depends for its en¬

tertaining qualities upon its clever lines, its

natural spontaneous humor, and the human¬

ness of Its appesl. Also, It may be said that

Its interpretation by the excellent company that

John Golden baa gathered together is no small

factor in this success. It is what might truly

be called a double-barreled play, the players

affording no end of clean, wholesome bnmor to

the audience, and the perfect naturalness with

which the audience received the play with out-

burstf of natural laughter. Frank Craven, the

author, Is not only an excellent playwright,

but in playing the principal part of thla play la

showing that he is a natnral-born comedian. It

was amusing to see the impression made upon

the audience. Roberta Arnold made a sweet

and attractive young wife in the character of

Grace Livingston, and gave a remarkable pre¬

sentation of character acting, which waa quits

natural and convincing. William Sampson, at

the father, Mr. Livingston, and Mauds Granger,

as Mrs. Livingston, the old-fashioned father and

mother, seemed so natural In their parts that It was diflictilt to realize that It was simply play

acting. Tim Murphy, as Dr. Anderson, tha

fflrl’s uncle, was full of plain common tense,

offering advice to the young couple, nitho he, himself, waa an old bachelor. Lyster Cbtm-

*T bnve been on the etage since I waa two

years old,'* Mias Adler confessed, “bnt In spite

or my theatrical environment I wan alwsys

Inclined to devote my attention to music and

books rather than the etage. I had taken no

Yows never to be an actresa, bnt at the s-ime

time I was not eatbnslastlc over It. I bad

Intended to be a teacber. I bad a chance to

Bork with Bertha Kallcb In child parts. That

waa my flm big stage work.

Kallcb said to me aa I pseaed ber dressing room

after my first performance In ber play. That

nettled It. For sltbo I did return to my studies

there was no other way. When I returned to tke Yiddish stage Mine Ksllcb's warm praise

nay money to spend on theater tickets then

and wrote my motber, who wat playing in

Pbiladelpbla, that I wanted to see Bernhardt,

bnt couldn't afford It. Then I waited with

bated breath to see wbat answer my mother

would make to my plea.

“She wrote bark, ‘See every performance'^

and sent me tbe money. And I did see every

performance. Oh, bow I enjoyed her great

work! One time I was playing In Chicago. Tbe

a member of a stock company wMch hid been

made to rehearse all day long. We -ARE out

to reduce unduly long rehearsals. It tires out

the company and gives them no time for study,

but to say we intend to limit them to an un¬

reasonable period is too ridiculous. All senaihle

stock maoagera are with us In this.

Maybe the following Is not true either, but

it Is a good one any way. “Variety" stated

that the secretary of the Fidelity League an¬

TRIFLES

“Trifle* Make Perfection and Perfec¬ tion I* No Trifle"—Michael Angelo

A spirit worth emulating is evinced in tbe

following notice which is printed in the pro¬

gram of tbe Booth Theater:

THE BOOTH THEATER,

West Forty-Fourth Street, New York City

Winthrop Ames, Director

Tonight, 1920. Dear Madam, or Dear Sir:

Wouldn’t it add to your enjoyment this

evening to leave your seat between the acts for

a few moments’ stroll, or « change of position?

In most theaters no provision ia made for this,

e.specially in tbe case of Ladies; but in The

Booth we have fitted up a room which we call

“Tbe Lonnge’’ to which both I.,adiea and Gen¬

tlemen may resort during the entre-acta. Smok¬

ing ia permitted, and timely notice ia given of

the beginning of each act.

“The Lounge’* la at the foot of the stairway

near the main entrance. The coatroom, ladles'

room and men's smoking room adjoin it. Any

attendant will point you' the way.

And (speaking of Attendants) I should ba

glad if yon would report anj unusual courtesy

on the part of our employees. No attendant

expecta a “tip” for any service; and I am

as anxious to recognize efficiency as to check

discourtesy or rudeness.

If you would give me ANY suggestion for

adding to your comfort In The Booth Theater

I should be extremely grateful.

Yours very truly,

THE HOUSE MANAGER.

When Wilton Lackaye was laid up with a broken ankle lately, Tbe New York Time#

printed a sketch of bis career. It told of all

tbe plays be bad made bits in except “Trilby.**

That wasn’t mentioned at all.

Some surprise was evinced by tbe unknowing

at Alice Brady singing a song In "Anna

Ascends." Some of Miss Brady’s earliest work

was done on tbe musical stage. She Is wel^

remembered for her playing In the Gilbert A

Bnllivan revivals of some years ago.

In “Pltter Patter" one of the characters

shows a blue print of what purports to be the

plane of a house. When the audience gets a

glimpse of it it is seen to be a road map or

some such thing. Why not the real thing?

A play now in New York and very successful

has a enrtona history. One author bad the

idea and told it to a manager. He commissioned

another author to write it. Tbe principal

player was declared in on a small percentage

for rewriting the piece. The man with the

original idea threatened to sue the manager

for appropriating It. and because It is giving

him the chance of bis life the prlnclpsl player

Is handing bis percentage over to the man with

tbe idea, so the play can continue. At last

reports all hands were satisfied.—O. W.

MARGARET ANGLIN’S

Work for Past Ten Year*

Once in a while the annsls of our tbeatar

record the Instance of a player who refuses to

drift along the easy current of prosperity and

popularity, whoee work is marked always (or

from time to time) by s clear determtnatloa,

not merely to flo something In a theater, bat

also to do something for the theater. Of Ista

years this has been true of John Bsrrymort.

It Is true of Walter Hampden. It Is snd for

a long time has been trne of Margaret Anglia.

As a record of achievement and as evidence

of fine energy, resourceful capacity and a hos¬

pitable mind, consider her programs of the list

ten years and think if yon can name any other

player on the American atage wboie work la

the same period can compare wltb it.

A manager told us the othe- day that two

members of his company had asked for a raise

in salary and. If granted, they offered to play

alt performances over eight for nothing. Sucb

action on the part of any member la unspeak¬

ably selfish, not to say traitorous to hIs fellow

members. It might even Jeopardize all we

have fongbt for. The matter will be brought

before the Oouncll. and If the case be proved

against tbe members It will be published.

Apropos of the offer of Equity to take In tbs

damatlsts, we believe we ronld do more for

them than they could do for us. For instance,

many plsya are pirated and notbing is done to

bring the offenders to book because of tbe great

expense of litigation. Now, If tbe dramatists

wr-e associated with ns and such a thing were

brought to our notice we ronld tell the mana¬

ger that be would get no actors unless be paid

a fair royalty on hIs plays.

It Is to be hoped that no member of the A.

E. A. will purchase “Virlety" since Its aim

appears to be to deliberately misrepresent us.

Its report of our meeting at headquarters was

absurd, FVir Instance, It was stated that tbs

exeentive secretary said; "Some day we are

ffoing to issue a rule that no manager can ra¬

ts no deception. Thli season there Is an overprodnetion of

new pitys and no possible chance of finding

theaters In which to show them. Can tbe higb

prices paid for motion picture righte be the

reason?

It bai tlwaja a«rmrd to me that the priori*

from forelgo aburea* la Ibat It la aterfrelgbted

witb newa. gulte a g‘>od many of tbe foirigo

heretofore bare made a apei lalty of crowding

In them—farta were to be found on erery page

and In erery paragraph.

Now, perauoally, I would be tbe lait one in

the world to decry facta aa aueb. In tbe

abstract I bare the bigbaat opinion of them.

But facta, aa someone baa said on s«>me occasion,

•re stnbborn things, and stubborn things, like

stubborn people, are often tiresome. t>o It

occurred to me that possibly there might be

room for a weekly letter from these shores on

theatrical, rauderille, motion pictures, circus

and many other matters which would not state

la erery line that such an act has been booked

by such an agent in such a theater In such a

town at such a salary and so on, which facts,

after nil, are only of Interest to whom It may

concern, but to ererybody else are as dry as

dust and dreary aa a desert.

1 bare eren dared to hope there might be aa

actual demand on part of tbe ahowfolks In tbe

Vnlted Slates—and the readers of The Billboard

in particular—for such a letter from this coun¬

try, which la last now passing tbrn snch a rltal era'of reconstruction. I shall endearor to meet

that demand—If It exists. That which I am

moat anxious to afford my fellow coantrymea Is

aa opportunity of forming a more correct Judg¬

ment than that at which many hare hitherto

arrired. of the progress and the prtdtablo future

of show business In Germany and Austria,

rthere ererylhing has been torn down to build

anew and on a nobler plan. Clrillaatlon la

cleanlag honse, to naturally there's a lot of

dust flylnf.

Serrous IndlrlduaUats assure me that Bolsbe-

rism will soon bare na orer here all In Ita

clutches! 1 am unconrlnced and bellere In opti¬

mism. I bellere In always looking on the bright

side of things and forgetting the dark side. While Germany—classifying still under the head

of nnUnlshed basinesa—Is thus far only a para¬

dox on a republic, tbe mass of tbe Germans,

aware of the fact that they are now bolding

In tbelr hands their own destiny, sre learning

day by day, with the help of their liberty, to

gortm themselres more and more wisely, and

are again commencing to consecrate alt tbelr

Ulents and all their energy to the arts of peace.

Disorder Is passing away and Berlin js a law-

abldlag city again. The eariety shows, which

during tbe days of the reeolutlon kept our streets from the last dangers of respectability,

hare gone from our towrn. Law and regulatloa

bars again done their best to drlre from the

street the fortune-telling canaries, the learned

dogs, and—not to forget—the street Juggler,

Not many weeks ago you would often see him

tear oB bis coat, rpread his threadbare car¬

pet, and Juggle desperately with gilt balls and

daggers. Formerly a much-heralded accompani¬

ment of tbe local dime mnaeum, the Passage

Panoptlcnm, he bad of late reached the lerel of

the curbstone and took wrhat he could by passing

the hat.

How hard and earnestly toiled the soap-ped-

dllag humorist on Potsdamer Plata, one of the

principal s<iuarrs of this city, to lore those

skeptical listeners a few steps nearer! Tbe

magician across tbe way worked In the more

elaborate. Intellectually persuaslTs eein. Tbe

perfurmance was, of course, a mere necessary

lacooTcateace.^e mala thing getting the people

around to sell the “greatest lasentlon of the

century”—the American Electric Com Care—

and as soon os possible getting them away

again. And tbe “Krleger's Wltwe” (soldier’s

Widow), who stood last summer dally on tbe

sidewalk la Friedrlchstrasse in the bright after¬

noon sunshine and sang to tbe passing crowd.

Bbe was all In black, with a dri«>plng black

hat, and her clothes and her i»ale skin and her

singer's manner all seemed to come from some

other and eery distant world.

Talk about tbe way tbe other half Hers! 1

wss walking toward home in the gathering dusk

when I reixignlsed the young equilibrist, who

an hour before. In spangled pink tights, had

been balaarlng on one band on a pyramid of

bottles In front of the Hotel Bristol. He was

la ordinary, shabby dotbes how, bareheaded,

and had reached that state where he was stag-

ferlng elslhly under the blows and Jam of too

much rum to the ^ala.

Berliners had tl^la summer again a llml-clasa

amusement park right at tbelr doors. Luaa Park was reopened. Old buildings were denaollshed,

many devices were leveled and the apace cleared.

Then began a realliatlon of what tbe manage¬

ment had promised last fall—a bigger and better

park than ever. Where In late years there was

one device for a laugh, a tbr’ll, a sensation, oe

even an esthetic gratlflcatloa, now there are

six. It has added unto Itself a dance hall, with

a large errhestra playing Intermittently and Ir¬ resistibly at one end. Revelers who do not

daace, If there are any such, can readily hearkew to tbe music of this orchestra.

We took It all in, over and over again, start¬

ing with the roller coaster and playing tbe

qbutes and tbe dip. without anyltody getting

seasick, so we decided to give the auto track

a whirl. Then there were representatives of

many nationalities—Zulus or Busbmea, Fijians,

Esquimaux-some real and more faked. And

there were dancers in native costumes who

leaped and stamped and bellowed out something

supiiosed to be a song.

At one stand we discovered a wheel of for¬

tune, with lire puppy dugs for prixes. We never

yet met a German that wasn't craxy about dogs!

There Is also a large tent with rows of faded

banners depicting a beautiful lady wreathed

witb snakes, end tbe horrendous tvro-beaded

Chinese Paluca, with human arms and legs

hanging from his dripping Jaws.

“Frauleln Eulalia Fortedeskn, tbe Bulgarian

Princess, In a den witb live deadly poieinoua

snakes a-strikln’ and a-bitin’ at her. C'>ber

snakes they are, which cause the death of

more’n 2,000 Bulgarians each and every year—”

announced tbe barker In his atkiress.

There Is a large crowd tramp'ng about under

tbe oak trees, the cheerful song of the merry-

go-round coming over their heads—tbe typical

paradox of Inharmonious harmony—and one's

thoughts naturally turn to Coney Island, the

greatest breathing spot, tbe vastest recreation

ground to be found in the world. l>ear old Coney

Isle—so far away!

It is an impressive list. For one thing. It Is

of great variety. It ranges all the way from

the glories that were Greece to mere pot¬

boilers, some of which did keep the pot bub¬

bling and some of which left It chill. It In¬

cludes tbe airiest and moat Inconsequential

of modern fooleries witb tbe loftiest of the old

tragedies, for she, who once wallowed In the

grief of Mrs. Dane till speculators began bid¬

ding for tbe handkerchief concession at her

theater, has sees lit to remind us all from

time to time how featherligbt her touch, bow

nnquencbably gay her spirit can be la comedy.

This Hat tells a story. It tells a story of work done from one end of tbe conatry to the

•that, of plays aUged within the strict limits

of n Broadway theater and of larger enter¬

prise# where she baa Joined hands with the

community that had called her. It has Its

step-gaps and Its experiments and Its old re¬

liables. It has Its failures and Its triumphs.

For the most part it records an association

with the best of living authors as well as

with the flaest of the classics. Above all, it

tells a story of line ambitloa and endless work

—hard work with the head held high.—N. T. TIMES.

NEW "INTERNATIONAL THEATER"

BERLIN LETTER By F. RICHABDB

It has always seemed to me that the princi¬

pal drawback shout the aierage news letter

from foreign shores'la that it Is eterfrcigbted

with news, yulte a g'>«d many of the foielgn

rnrrrspoadenta of American proreavluoal papers

heretofore have made a specialty of c^>wdlng

their letters with facts; they have abounded

in them—facts were to be found on every page

and In every paragraph.

Now, persona lly, 1 would be the last one in

the world to decry facts as such. In the

abstract 1 have the highest opinion of them.

But facts, as aomeone has said on some occasion,

are stnbborn things, and stubborn things, like

stubborn people, are often tiresome. i>o It

occurred to me that possibly there might be

room for a weekly letter from these shores on

theatrical, vaudeville, motion pictures, circus

and many other matters which would not atsto

dust and dreary as a desert.

I have even dared to hope there might be an

actual demand on part of the sbowfolka In the

FOR SALE SIGN

Posted on Old French Theater of New Orleans

New Orleans, Oct. 1«.—It Is probable that

opera in this city, save tor traveling organlia-

tlnns. Is a thing of the past, as there has been

potted on tbe old French Theater a sign read¬

ing, "This Property for Sale.” Since the Are

some time ago In the old historic French Opera

House efforts have been made by prnntotera to

raise sufficient money to rebuild and at the

same time finance an opera company such as ia

tbe old days gave New Orleans an enviable

and nationwide reputation on account of the pro-

ductiona of standard operas. That these efforts

failed has not been due, so it is claimed by many, to lack of money, but to a lack of civic

p-lde. Any presentation of grand opera In this

city In the future will have to be given In one

of the regular theaters or auditoriums.

BURLESaUE CIRCUIT AND STOCK SHOWS

CONSTERNATION IN CHICAGO AMONG THE ADVANCE AGENTS

operation. She wan recently with Ironi &

Clamage'a “Naucbty-Naughty" Company. Ml»a Karriaiin la in Ward B, Bed 6, and aaka The

Billboard to say that she will greatly appre¬

ciate any calls or mesaagea from her frirnda

while ahe ia in the hospital. Among her

callera today was Arthur Stone, who represents

Australian Variety.

Chicago, Oct. 15.—The Jackson Hotel was the

•cene of an tinberalded conrention of burlesque

prance agents who had recelred their notices.

The fact that Hurtig & Seamon have pulled

ia nearly all of their agents has caused much

disonsaion and debate among advance agents

and local agents, likewise managers of companies

and bouses, who deplore the ilt-advlsed move on the part of producing managers who, in an

apparent effort to eliminate what they consider

excess expenditure, are at the same time de¬

moralizing their shows, for the reason that the

local agents, not being familiar with the paper,

cannot lay it up without loss. Furthernoore,

they cannot be expected to bill the show as

they would bill it under the supervision of an

advance agent.

Considering the high cost of print paper

tinder existing conditions, it ia doubtful that

producing managers will save anything in the

way of expenditure by the elimination of ad¬

vance agents, who. Independent of their billing

and small stuff, can be depended upon to save

a matinee in case of delay ia railroad traffic.

Producing managers have Juggled with this

proposltloB from time to time and invariably

sooner or later they reinstate their agents thro

necessity, therefore It Is an Ill advised move on

the part of producing managers to close their

agents, and thereby start dissension in their

company. For it is a well-known fact that

the bouse staff is always there with a rldicnle

for each and every company that does not

support an advance agent.

We do not hold a brief for the advance agent

who la negligent in his duties and not worthy

of his hire, but we do contend, and base our

DETROIT DELINEATIONS

9ba Hermitage Hotel, across from the Oay-

lesquers; the owners were former xierformem.

Habel Faleer, Detroit's favorite prime at the

Avenue stock, is resting at home with her

mother, aud it would be no surprise to learn

later that Irons A Clamage will present on the Oolumbla Circuit next season another pro¬

duction as famous as "Town Scandals," featur¬

ing "Mabel Faleer and Her Own Show."

Mr. and Mrs. Paul Russell are the latest ad¬

ditions to burlesque from vaudeville, having

opened with the "Monte Carlo Girls" in Oo-

Inmbos, O. They were at one time with the

big operatic act, "Sorrento Quintette.” and played the Keith and Gns Son Time in song

and dance numbers and an accordion specialty

that stotis the show.

Walter Van, formerly straight at the Avenue

and a well-known figure for years in the circus

world, is making Detroit his home and is a

frequent visitor on the Avenue comer.

Bertha Startxman. a former principal at the Avenue Stock, greeted her many friends ap¬

pearing here with the "Cabaret Girls."

•’POLLY TOWN”—Written and staged by Wm.

K. Wella. Music by Jease Greer. Costumes

by A. Furman. Scenery by Klein A Jer-

mon Stndio. Columbia Circuit attractiou

COMMENT

Barring the fact that Frankie Hnnter and

Bert Lahr, the former feature comiri, have

been replaced by Johnnie Walker and Gns Fay.

and that Adele Ferguson has been replaced by

Ruth Rosemond, an exceptionally attractive,

vivacious Ingenue, there has been little change

in the presentation since we reviewed It at

the Colnmhla Theater, New York City, at the

opening of Ita snmmer mn.

Manager Joe Edmundeon baa localised the

eobway atope, which makes it a decided bit in

the vaiiont cities on the circuit. The high- priced potato offering of Straight Pearson to

Vampire Elliott baa been replaced with a

flask of (apparent) whisky, and, considering

the fact that we have spent three days In

Chicago without sighting any real booxe. Straight

Pearson’s gift. If the real thing, sbonld have

saved him from Clio, the death-dealing aerpent.

ous applause.—NELSE.

COMMENT:

The opening scene was the “Bank of Laugh

Land,*’ and everyone laughed at the clean and

clever comedy of Bobby Burry and his supporting

company. The second scene Introduced the Bal-

mar Four, vocalists extraordinary. The third

scene was the lobby of the "No Sleep Hotel,**

and what was said and done banished all Incllna*

tion to sleep on the part of the audience.

The burlesque In three scenes offered “Fifty-

nine Minutes from Broadway,” *‘The Town

Garage” and “The Chinese Restaurant.”

F'rom start to finish Bobby Barry, with his

likable liersonaUty and distinct enunciation,

made every line and act score for continuous

laughs. The cast Is exceptionally strong and the

chorus more than usually attractive. The scenic

equipment and costuming were of quality and

quantity. We will review the presentation In

Hie employer, who bellevea marriage makes for

who Is atippooed to be hla wife (of coarse, the girl be Is engaged to), aad the rest of the

William Norris plays the part of the em¬

Has Finished Work for “SoL

diers of Fortune**—Is Third

Eminent Violinist To

Enter This Field

The addition of MIsoba Elman to the list of

eminent violinists who have written operettae

la Interesting. If bla work la as good as Krelsler'a

and Zimbalist’s in that field. It will be aUU more so. Elman Is announced aa haring hnisbed

bla score and about to sail for this side with It,

The book of the piece la founded on the late

Richard Harding Davis' novel, “Soldiers of For^

tune," and will be produced by Florena Zleg-

feld, Jr., some time la December. The music

was written by Elman daring his recent

European tour, and Charles I’lke Sawyer, the

genial theatrical paragrapber of The New Tork

Evening Post, quotes the critic of The Tossiebs

Zcitnng as saying: "I have heard a few nam-

bers on the piano. Including a ‘Habanera' and

two waltaes. 1 saw at once that Mlocba Elman

has musical Ideas and that be knom how to nsc

them." If the rest of the nnmbers are aa good

as those mentioned are said to be, then Elman

will be as welcome In the field of operetta as

bis two predecessors from the concert plat¬

form.

Both Krrlsler aad ZImballst have written

more Interesting, maalcal and withal more

olngable scerca than moat maslclans who are

supposed to be the backbone of the maalcal play

lodastry. They both brooght fresh Ideas into

their new feld, ZImballst succeeding in hitting

the popniar taste la “Boneydew" perhaps bet¬

ter than Kreioler la “Apple Blossoms." Ths

music of these two pieces has set a standard

which la worth emulating by oar native com¬

posers.

It is aare'y time for us to welcome a higher

grade of music than we have been getting la

the "revaes” and musical comedies of the past

few years. Most of it has been stereotyped

and much of It uninspired and banal. ZImballst

has shown us that a melody can*be written to

appeal to the popular taste and still be mn-

olcally good.

There la another angle to a well written score

which is to be considered. If a manager has a

composer of note write a real score he has

to engage people with voices to sing It. It Is

aomewbat of a rarity to hear the maalc well

sang la a musical comedy nowadays. What

with specvalUes. *']azs" and Aancing there

does aot seem to be any room left for it. Ths

first-class singers In this field can be connted

oa two hands, with maybe a finger or two to

spare. If the mnsicianly score 'Will help restore

the singer to his rightful place In the scheme

of musical plays, it will be welcome for that,

as well as on Its own account.

“Soldiers of Fortune,” with Its South Ameri¬

can locale, its revolution, plotting and love

Interest, should Inspire picturesque music, and

If Elman has provided that It Is bound to bo Fred Stone—America's greater low comedian-

interesting. It It captures the popular fancy, by acclamation, with the record of Kreisler and ZImballst taken

Into account. It may easily mark a return to

mntlcal plays that are musical. And that would

please a greater public than most managers be¬

lieve exists.—G. W.

new bouse record for the Globe Theater In bla

first week there. The theater has bean slightly

enlarged by removing the lower boxes aad re¬

placing them with orrheatra scats. This added

forty-eight to the capacity and enabled Stone

to break previons records by packing the bonne

at every performance.

Vera Ross has been added to the cast of

Honae, Toklo, la now an anslstant stage mai.a-

ger In “Mecca." lie Is stndying American Ned Sparks, the extra dry comedian, la now xnethoda of production,

Two musical comedies open in New Tork this

week. “Mary,'' at tbe Knickerbocker Theater,

on Monday night, and “Illfrhy-Koo, 1920," at the New Amsterdam, on Tneaday.

“Tip-Top'^ could well be billed aa America's _

flrat pantomime. Sherrie Mathews, the daughter of the comedi¬

an of tbe (ime name and formerly of the team

of Mathews and Bulger, Is playing In “Jim Jam

Jetna" at the Cort Theater, New Tork.

fairly sparkles with zest and animation. Lansing, Mich., Oct. 14.—The Bobby Barker

Mns1c.ll Revue Company, which has been play¬

ing for -a number of weeks at the Empress

Theater here, doses Its engagement this weex.

Starting .Sunday. October 17, the Arthur Hauk

attractlona will be the offering. Tbe opening

bill la “Tbe Sunshine Bevne," a musical com-

Praising “Mecca" la akin to tbe futility of

paint'ng the Illy. Throwing one brick at It Is

another matter. So here goes. There are too

many waits In Stygian darkness, and they are

all too king.

Dolores, the Ziegfeld Roof beauty, baa re¬

turned from abroad and will shortly rejoin the

Martha Loiber has signed a three-year con¬

tract with Comstock A Gest to dance exclusively

play tbe New York Winter Garden till the

Crat of Uie year, and poaaibly longer. If tbe

new rcTue for that theater la not ready by that

tiae.

Mtnd BockweU, tbe handaome ainginf co> asedlenne, was aecn on Broadway e few days

ago getting ready for her Taudevllle tour.

Gene Hugbet la arranging the route. Mlaa

Rockwell appeared to be In fine health and said

abe enjoyed her stay at tbe aeaahore Immentely.

Jane Blchardaon alnga dlrlnely and poaaessea

hUtrtonIc ability of no mean order, but Juat

mlaaea—Jnat barely mlaaea—to score high enough

to hit Broadway's fickle fancy. But abe will.

One thing that will help ber « lot i* tbe

coltlTatlon of an engaging amlle and Joat a

little more sprlgbtllneae in demeanor.

Eioae "old boya" were exhnmed for "Jim Jam

Jema.'* Witness: “A, naelesa aa a glass eye

at « keyhole,** which la eaid to bare been a

yell when Dickens first wrote it, and a story

about "the difference between a dlMSter and a

calamity,” which la aacribed to Disraeli In Lord

Morley'e “Life of Gladstone.”

Eddie Cantor never wae a greater hit Is

any company than he is In George Le Malre'e

“Broadway Brevities” and. Incidentally, bia

material has never been cleaner. Also Incident*

ally, the stuff that now goes beat is tbe clean¬

est of wbat be la now using. Fortunately the

only objectionable featnree are tbe “butinese**

and themes. Bis llnea are all free from foul-

nets.

"Will you eave me two teats for ‘Tip-Top*

for tbe Fonrtb of July,” said « friend to Fred

fltonc recently.

"Which Fourth T" queried Fred.

Tbe above was sent out by tbe Dillingham

press bureau to prove that Stone la not only

a good dresser on and off. but funny to boot.

A hundred offleiale and erngloyees of the Hud- eon BJver Day Line were entertained one night laet week by James G. Carletoo, director of the line, with a theater party at the Hippodrome,

New York. Flo. Ziegfeld la reported aa freely ronfeming

that be la a convert to pro-Eqnlty tenets. "Be¬

fore the atrike,” be is quoted aa saying, "con¬

tract or no contract, I never knew when I could

depend on a chorua girl. Nowadays they regard their contract aa a sacred pledge.”

'Ida Ludmila la tbe most accompnsbed ballet dancer aeen on Broadway for many a day. She

baa grace, agility and a fine technique. After

eeeing a flock of "toe dancers” who wouldn't

know the "third position” If they saw It in a

store, it la a pleasure to see a ballet dancer

who knows ber art. Min Ludmila 1* but one

of the many entertaining features in "Tip-Tup.”

One lyric In “Kltsing Time” bae a real

Gllbertain twist. It la called "So Long «s tbo

World Goes ’Round.** It it humorous, clean

and well turned, and scores tbe applause bit

of tbe piece.

In tbe same riiow la a bit in which one of

tbe characters la made to believe be has drunk

poison. This was • icream when nsed In tbe

last act of "The Ameer" some twenty yeare ago as a "poiaoned” watermelon.

Tbe writer aaw "Fitter Patter” a week ago.

Tbe features and strong points that persist

and ftlck out after this lapse are "BUI” Kent's

work, tbe cbome and especially tbe direcUoa

of the latter, credit for which goes to David

BennetL

The one and only abortcoming la Its all too

many scenes, wbtcb, deapite tbe pep and speed

of tbe cast and ensemble, show It up.

"Fitter Patter” le escclleat entertalnmesL

It la not a "Follies'' or a "Night Boat” or a

"Tip-Top," but It ranks right at tba very

bead of tbe Claas B shows or perhaps even

among the trailers In Class A.

EARL FULLER’S ORCHESTRA

Earl Fuller’s Orchestra is so well known

wherever there is dancing that comments re¬

garding Its excellence and popularity are un¬

necessary. But when there Is something quite

original to chronicle tbe opportunity should not be lost.

Tbe organization la now touring tbe West

with a very fine soprano. Mrs. Fuller, who In¬

terprets tbe chorus in its second repetition In

all tbe songs. While this has proven a moit

euccesefnl innovation, tbe special feature of

the performance is the unique manner In which

the bassoon bas been made the solo instrnment,

creating a most effective imitation of laughing

and crying, as tbe particular passage calls for.

Such pieces aa "I’m a Jazz Vampire,’* "Mad¬

rigal of May” and “Sweet Cuban Love" re¬ ceive a most wonderful Interpretation by tbit

novel rendition, and the audieneea arc quick to

show their approval by tbe most generous

applause.

Joseph H. Alter, flutist, member of Local 34,

A. F. of M., Kansas City, is resting up at bis

ranch, Mountainair, N. M.

Eddie Moore, in his ninetieth week as band

end orchestra leader for the Fox Popular Play¬

ers, writes that he is pleased at the revival of

Uqaical Muslngs.

Wallace M. Ewing's Ladies’ Band, with

Vivian Ewing as director, and Alma Huntley as

soloist and manager, has closed a successful

season of 18 weeks playing over the Midland

Chautaui(ua Circuit, then five weeks of the

largest Wisconsin fairs. The band consisted of

bdies and was a decided testurs at more

than 80 cities visited.

Walter C. Allen, an “old trouper,” writes

from Aitus, Ok., in praise of Prof. De

>.aarentiis' Allied Band, appearing witii the

nice A Dorman Shows. Allen has heard many

a band in bis day, but claims none of them

of the same size compares with the 14-piece

organisation headed by Prof. Detaurentlls, each

member being an A-No. 1 musician, and able to

play classical or “Jati” numbers with equally

wondrous effect.

Prom fint who has been with everything from

a pill show to grand opera:

A trouper bandmaster suggests to other cir¬

cus and carnival leaders that they ask tbs

applicants for ’’membership’’ in their bands a

few questions before engaging them. Among

the questions are: Save you an instrument

or a piece of gutter pipe? Do you use star

tobacco? As our car is small and sleeping

quarters for the musicians limited, can you

sleep with a BBb bass? Do you tell those

stories about having out the banker's or May¬

or’s daughter when it really was a charter

member of the pot wrestlers’ upion? Do you

carry a kodak, a Ashing pole and a gun? Are

you the best ball player in the town band?

Can yon cut “Poet and ‘Peanuts’?’’ Have you

memotited Gloria and The Billboard? Caa

yon bring your own razor or do you intend

to borrow? Are you willing to work or arc

yon just a showboat musician? Will yon spend

your Sundays In the privilege car or practicing

in the horse tent Do you believe In bathing?

If so how often? Inside or ont? Have you a

real Instrument or one your blacksmith made you?

A correspondent called my attention to sev¬

eral errors in last week's “Muslngs,” which

I am glad to correct. I had said that “length

and tension govern the pitch of strings.” That

would be e<iuivalcnt to saying that a G string

would be the same pitch as an E string of same

tension. Of course, every reader knows that

this was a mere slip, an oversight. Thickness

and weight also govern the pitch of strings.

What was In mind at the' time w.is that

length and teusion alone govern the pitch of

any one string. Of course, that fket is so

obvious it needs no telling; but It was' men¬

tioned only as a contrast to the law of pitch

in tubes and pipes. In thess the pitch is

governed by length alone. The difference caused

by diameter is so slight as to be hardly worth

mentioning. A French horn in E flat is ths

same length as an E flat tuba of tame pitch.

Diameter of pipe makes no difference in pitch

of trombones, or of comets. All makes ars

of same jength if pitch is tbs same. Trombone

shifts are the same on sll makes of trombones

of same pitch.

Men vary their positions, but their scale

varies accordingly. No two men play exactly

the same s<'ale. One man may make bis post-

tion S half inch longer or shorter than snothei

man and his scale may be different; or, hit

scale may be exactly the same as that of the

other man. In that case he Is simply “strain¬

ing” the tone out of its natural cbanael. Hit

tone would come easier if made in the proper

position than In a false position, and would

be of better quality.

The mere fact that one good player makes

a position longer or shorter than another good

pla.ver proves nothing at all. Both may play

in time, because tone on a bora Is flexible. That

Is the “saving grace'’ which makes sny band

horn possible at all. If their tones were rigid

or Inflexible they would be so badly out of

tune ai to be useleaa In fine ensemble playing

where accuracy of Intonation la imperative.

While no two authorities agree as to length

of positional because they do not figure It out

Bclentlflcslty, hut give only personal opinions,

yet there is a way to figure out the exact dls-

tanee for each shift; figured from the length

of the original tube. There are rortaln laws

of pipe length and pitch which are absolutely

correct sod unchangeable.

The scientific facts back of those laws have

never yet been given in any modern or ancient

test book, as far as I know. At least I am sure

that such information has never been mads

accessible to the average stndent.

While It is true that there are hooka in ex¬

istence on the broad snbject of music, sonnd

and acoustics, yet none of these tells us exactly

or definitely the position lengths of a trom¬

bone.

Books may give the general laws governing

pipe length and pitch, bat the student must

apply theae lawa himself and figure them out—

If he can. But comparatively few men read

such books, do not know where to find them and

would not noderstand !f they did read them.

The modem text books tMl ua nothing as to ths

“why” of anything and certainly do not giva

exact mathematical lengths of positions on ths

trombone. Next week 1 will endeavor to do so.

Have not the time to apply myself to ths

intricate problem of calculation in higher mathe¬

matics this week.

L. R. W.—Tour article la entirely too long

and covers too many subjects to be printed In

The Billboard. Also shows too mneh personal

animosity; seems to be written in a spirit of

bitterness; full of personalities and abuse of

the editor of this department.

Such language and such a spirit Is certainly

ont of place in these columns. Ton should

stick to the one text—trombone positions. Heavens no! I do not care for '‘autbority’’

or “expert opinions’’ on these subjects. 1

care only for easily provable scientific facts.

Many of the so-called authorities are dead

wrong.

Tea, brother, there are books on th# broad

subject of sound and aconatica, certainly. But

1^0 not know of any book giving exact

a^^tfic figures on trombone poaitiona. Thera

are the varlona opinions of the men yon quoted,

but they only gave iieraonal opinions and no

scientifle data to bark it.

Yon ramble on tbm such a variety of snbjectf

and assert many things which are trae, wbten

no one bai denjed, leaving the reader to suppose

that I bad denied these things or that I bad

asserted something to the contrary.

In the brief spare allowed me in The Bill

board I could not gu iutu details or mention tb«

exceptions, such at the rlarlr.et, which take*

on the character of a rloaed tube—the reason

for which is still a mystery. I had refereura

to ot)co tul>ra such as band boms ard organ

pll>es. I really forgot to mention about closed

tubes and clarinets being an exception.

Yon could, perhaps, find many other tbrr.m -

truths—which I left out of my article for tna

take of brevity and lack of space. I was not

sure that any of It w<<uld be pub!i«lir<l, because.

■ s you say, the page should he devoted to me

news and good chi'er.

Well, at least, I did not mention the y iuni

man's name, but am ready to stand by every

word I said in regard to bis erroneous ideas.

Yes, be printed a letter from a manufacturei

giving the sblfta all same length and offrre<t it

as nutborlty. He also said he Could not under

■land why the aliifts ahoulS get lunger as ws

go ont. Admitted he could not anderstana ii. The magatlne in question REFUSKD to print

my answer giving correct ehlfta end reasons

therefor.

No one denlea that the horn qnlvere aligblly,

bat tbla does not help the tone or affect It In

any way nnleea walla are TOO YTilN. Can not

be too thick.

Judging by the bittemeea of yonr letter and

the peraontl natnre of It 1 judge that you are

one of thoee ’'Witchhamere,” a hangover from

the dark agea, who feels It bis duty to ex¬

tinguish the Arcs we kindle. Yon seem unable

to argue or debate without getting pers<in:g

or Insulting. 1 am not posing as anything id

particular—only a disciple of tmth aiPI a truth

seeker wherever it may lead me. A vlulln body

la entirely different. It is not a tul>e or pipe.

Its vibration augmente tbe tone of a violin. Cer¬

tainly we all know that.

Bot a bend horn la a diffeaent propotiUun ve-

It la true that all of the beat aonga written every year do not reach the public, but tbi* i. largely the fault of diatrlbutors of iheet rouble and mechanical record*. The dlatrlbutora don't aeem to rare a rap about the merit* of the aonf* they handle, and the amall publlaber with a good .tong and limited capital doe«n*t apitear to Intereat them. They want sale* and take to aong* that are eitenalvely exploited by th* publlaher*.

Some of the manager* of phonograph com* panle* and ayndirate music store* have the nerve to say that the.v record and lUt all the merltorloua anngt that they think will appeal to the public. Well. If they do. It la Interesting to note that their lists aetdnm carry aong* from amall publishers' ratalogt. None of these song Oracle*, for Instance, could see "Smiles'* or "Bubb'ea" until the tonga were taken over by a Urge Brm.

Jack Mahoney's exierlence Is a good illustra¬ tion of what syndicate buyers and pbonograpb managers care abont meritorious tonga Issued by small firms.

Maliooey had two seml-hlgb-class ballads, "I'd Give the World To Know*' and "A Thousand Tlmcf a Day," which were and are as Rood at any turned out In years. They were so Rood that Al. Q. Field's, J. A. Colium's and half a doxen other well-known minstrel showrs fea¬ tured them without belnR asked. Jobbers, buy¬ ers sod some pbonoRraph mansRers said they were wonderful sodrs, yet Mahoney couldn't get a lUttnR with the syndicate stores, nor could he Induce the big phonoRraph companies to record them. Mahoney finally did Ret a listing with a few atorea In and around New York, but only after several big gunt In tbe game had talked to one of the head buyera. Tbe Jobbers ordered a few copies from time to time and then made Mahoney wait months for tbe paltry few dollars.

"When you speak of jobb«'ra 1 can reallxe what Mahoney waa up against,” Harry I'sce of race & Handy remarked when he was about to relate some of his esi>eiienre*. "Take tbe riaia, for Instance. When we were working on ‘A Good Msn Is Hard To Find,’ and knew that there waa a demand for it, our sales mana¬ ger tried to get a decent slie<l order from the riara, but he waa informed that the riuxa bad bad but a few calls for the atwig. .k hundred copies waa tbe Tlata'a limit. Then after rcpeate<lly saying that there was no demanri for the song I'lata offered to buy the song for a thousand dollara. It didn't take much Imagination to see It In the light of a Trt'tzi

Before Stasny la Stasny'* song advertiaements In one of the luoi-

Ing picture magazlnea. The reason for this is that American picture magazines are widely read in foreign countries, where American films and American movie stars appear to be more po()- nlar than tbe home products. And this applies to England, where seventy-five per cent of tbe pictures shown come from American studios.

But Stasny isn’t tbe only one that inoculated foreigners with a love for American popular songs. Ross Sobel had a band In It as far baet as 1913, when he went to London to make tbe people acquainted with American ragtime.

Sobel can't read music, but he only has to hear a melody twice In order to be able to play IS without injecting one blue note. After land¬ ing In London Sobel picked up a few musiciana in a concert ball, taught them how to syncopate and then played before tbe crowned and un¬ crowned heads of England.

Leaving England be Journeyed to Zululand. With him be carried a number of "Blues," in¬ cluding "Memphis Blues'* and "St. Ixiuia Blues." Once tbe natives beard Sobei grind out some "Blues,” they woudn't let him alone until he had taught them bow to play them. On com¬ paring matters, Sobel found that many of the songs of Zululand have the same rhythms as those used In American Jazz and Bluet. Now the "St. Louis Blues'* and the “Memphis Bines” are part of every first-class musical given in Zulu- land.

Sobers next atop waa India. He hadn’t been a week in India when Tbe Mabarajo of (^cb Bebar, who is tbe big mognl of India, tent far him and asked If Sobel would play some of the new American songs that the Big Chief had beard ao much about. Sobel obliged and tbe Big Chief kicked up his heels with delight.

For a goodly slice of the coin of tbe realm would the Honorable American Musical genius teach the Big Chief’s royal ’band bow to play "Blues?"

Sobel would and did. And after that tbe royal band livened up every meal for tbe Big Chief by grinding out some "Blues.”

The next to fall in love with American “Blues’* waa tbe Princesses Baby and the Princesaes Betty, tbe Rig CbleCa beautiful daughter*. They had everything that money, ednration and cul¬ ture could give them, yet they took to the terri¬ ble American songs. After that no musical In India waa considered complete without Sobel at the piano.

Before leaving India Sobel bad all of tbe royalty and thousands of the nig Chief's sub¬ jects singing American songs and dancing to American melodies th.it give so much orTense to some of onr own highbrow*.

Stasny's and Sobol’s cxnerlences have been ?lted simply to show that our popular songs have a real value for AmcrUans and foreigners, and If they have, how Is any one Justified in Jumping to the public rostrum to shout: "Down with popular songs!’* There are many other things that threaten the morals of tbe young more tban popular song.s do. and the reformers will have much easier time downing the others, for the popular aong?. as a whole, have com 4 to stay. *

WHY NOT ANSWER LETTERS? Cincinnati, O., Oct. 4, 192U.

To the Editor: I have been standing hack watching yonr open

letter department with the kreneat of interest and now wish to enter same with a matter about which I don’t know what to do. And, too, I am asking for advice along tills line.

On January S, 1920, I was admitted memher- ehip in the American I>eague of Music at Wash¬ ington, D. C., and to them I was to submit three of my songs for pnblication during my membership of one year, or as long as I was a member. That is, I could enroll again, if I saw fit to do so.

About July 1, 1920. I submitted my first song to the league. About three weeks later, not hearing from them, I wrote them a letter asking if they had received the aong, and I received no reply. Two works later than that I wrote again, thia time enclosing an addressed, stamped envelope, and I still received no reply. Then I wrote to a member at Washington (the man

who wrote the mnslc for me), asking If the league waa still in buriness. He said they were, and to the best of bis knowledge they had re¬ ceived my song.

Now. Mr. Editor, what am I to doT Send them the other two sougs as per contract and never hoar from them, or shall I wait for a reply? I don’t write music and it’s very hard on we amateurs to pay a man to write the music to send to some one that we never hear from. 1 am willing to carry out my part of the contract, hut 1 am not willing to send them my songs that I have spent both time and money on and then not get an answer, even if they are never pub¬ lished. I would feel better satisfied over the matter If the songs were returned to me.

Will look for your advice or answer In Old Billyboy so-m.

“EUROPE IN BATTLE AND FIRE” New York, Oct. 7, 1920.

To the Editor: I desire to inform the patrons of The Bill¬

board that the facta herein atated are true regarding the production of the apectacle. “Europe in Battle and Fire,” which made its initial opening at the cirrua grounda on South Huntington avenue, Boston, Mass., September 18. nnder the direction of the Fhlllipa Amuse¬ ment Company.

The Pblllipe Amueement Company was or¬ ganized about two montha ago, and waa regle- tered in the City Hall, Boston, Maaa., as a voluntary organization. Ita oOcera rontisted of Tbomaa I'bllllpt, preaident, of Boston; Alex. 'K. Allan, vice-president, of New York; Mnt- tbew D. Lamb, secretary and treasurer, of Boston. The reason for the formation of this company waa to produce the epectacle. “Europe in Rattle end Fire.”

'The financial end of the undertaking, the raising of the money and the disbursement of funds, was in the hands of Matthew D. Lamb, and was considered hie duty as secretary and treasurer.

The contract drawn up between the above three otficers and signed, which each agreed to, specified in one clause that said Mr. Lamb should deposit in a local bank all money ac¬ crued in the sale of tickets or otherwise dur¬ ing the showing of tbe prodnctlon. The oOces of tbe Phillips Amusement Company, at KKM Hanover Trust Bldg., Boston, and tbe oSlees of the Cosmopolitan Investment Co. and How- ard Lamb Co. have not been open to tbe public ■ioce tbe second day of the epectacle. They were, however, opened last Satnrday, October 2. when tbe Hanover Athletic Club, offleers of which club Mr. Iamb Is identified, took pos¬ session and erased tbe ntmee from the doors.

It might be well to aay that I did not have •rcees to theae offlcea, except when they were open.

I desire the public to know that there Is on file at the Chamber of Commerce, Boaton, a letter iigned by Matthew D. Lamb, clerk of tbe Cosmopolitan Investment Company, and secretary and treasurer of tbe Phillips Amuae- ment Company, In which is atated that three members of the Coamnpolitan Investment Com¬ pany are members of tbe Chamber of Commerce of Boston, and further states tbe (\>smopoIltan Investment Company is financing the Pblllipe Amusement Oimpany.

I was the originator of the plan of the spec- tncle, “Europe in Battle nnd Fire.” and thru Arthur Duffey, eportlng writer of Boston, I.smb and his associates were Induced into tbe propo¬ sition.

1 have made every effort to locate Mr. Lamb, but so far have been unsaccessful.

Tbe certain current expenses and bills were to be met on Thureday, tbe third day of the apectacle, by Mr. I..amb and bis asso<'iates. Tbelr failure to do this resulted In the closing «f tbe apectacle on tbe third day.

I received no compensation for my work and the arrangement of this plan, and was not to benefit financially unlesa the apectacle showed a profit. I am a Boston man. and have ar¬ ranged big affairs from Coast to Coast. I have a good etandlng in Boston and ran refer yon to Chester D.

TTie weather for the spectacle waa very good, and If Mr. I4imb and hla astoeiatea would have done their share tbe apectacle would have been a great succesa. It was their failure to m- uperate that ruined all hopes for a sarreasful vhowing.

I would suggest to those who lost money on the epectacle nr have rialms against the Phillips Amusement Company to look up tbe letter on file at the Chamber of Commerce, Boa- ton, In which It la stated the Coamnpolitan Investment Company is financing the Phillips Amusement Company. Thru tbe letter on file lAmb’a associates who financed with him and were to share in the profits of tbe spectacle can be traced. If they ran be found there la a strong llkellbood of being reimbursed for any claim.

Before leaving Boston Saturday, October 2, I stated the entire case to tbe press and proper city and State antborltlea.

vance sale of about $260,000. Tliey are playing

to capacity and getting a $2 top. This Is the

first time the Auditorium ever played minstrels,

it being known as a “Home of Grand Opera.”

Mr. Conoly says the Sunday night bouse could

be safely estimated at about $.‘<,000 and that the huge Auditorium was packed to capacity.

Even the big million-dollar Burns Theater at

Colorado Springs could not hold tlie crowd that

wanted to see Harvey's Greater Minstrels in that

city, and the bouse manager, M. V. Footman, a

clever hustler, declares he will not play the

Harvey Minstrels again unless he can have three

nights. Don Wilson, who was sssoclated with

the B. B. Wallace Circus enterprises for a

score of years, was a welcome visitor on the

minstrel cars at Colorado Springs.

Al. O. Field, who has a fight with the Interstate Commerce Conimisaion for the re¬

duction of railroad rates, has not met with a

great deal of encouragement thus far.

the sliowfolks. A member of the Interstate

Commission was to have been here ((Jolumbos,

“Tlie sleeping car rates have made it Im¬

possible for the large companies to play the

outlying districta. The larger cities are get¬

ting more than their share of attracdons, while

the one, two and three-night stands are being

avoided. “The arbitrary rulings of the Interstate Com¬

CHAUTAUQUA DEPARTMENT By FRED HIGH

More Light on the Standard Bureau What Was Back of the Attack of C. O. Bruce?—^The

Truth About the Community Service Programs—

Was Dr. Karr Wronged or Flattered?—A Prob¬

lem for Petersburg, Nebraska, To Solve

fllnr* we wrote tbe article in defenie of oar

per*«it right* and the right of Tbe Billboard to

be bought and read b/ tbe Ijceum and Chautauqua ettractlona, provided said attractiona find enonga

interest in our efforts to cause them to bug and

read what we produce, we have been the re-

elpients of « great manj facts that have falrl/

startled us.

first of all, neither The Billboard nor Fred

High has ever done the tiniest thing to Justify

tbe insidious attack that wae made against both

of us bj the Biandard Bureau. Our actions de¬

served better than the do<e that Friend C. O.

Bruce tpilled all over tbe territory when be sent

bia now famoua letter to all of bla attractiona,

whereby he tried to force bis own little

Tiewa upon all attractiona employed by the

Standard Cbautanqua System.

One of the Interesting documents that here

fallen into our bauds is tbe little twelve-page

folder in whit h are set forth niggeatione which

read as tho thi* document was gotten out by

eome local committee.

But here fa the one that takes tbe persim¬

mon: -THE rOMMCNITY SERVICE PRO¬

GRAMS constitute a ‘new idea' in fall and

winter community programs ‘originated’ by the

Standard Chautauqua System, of Lincoln, Neb.‘*

Pid the Stamlard give birth to thie new

Idea? Pid C. 0. Brace orlginete this new idea?

E< ho sn.wera nay, nay, i'auline!

Here are some fact.s: Five years ago Fred

High published a aeries of special issnos of bis

magazine, Tbe Platform, devoted entirely to

eommunity boosting. He had written sperlal

articles on this subject as far back aa twelve

years ago.

One of the first to feel the Impulse of this

series of articles and these S[>ecial community

hooi-ting editiona v\a« .tlexander Karr. >tr.

Karr was then located at Valley City, N. P.

He visited Chicago and had a number of con¬

ference! with the writer looking to the end that

we might Join forces and develop the work In

North Dakota.

Mr. Karr started In and organized what is

known as tbe Rural Community IJfe Develop¬

ment Association. Fred M.mn, of Devils I.Jike.

ts associated with him in this work.

Mr. Mann is one of the most successful mer-

ebsnts in North Dakota. He has visited us sev¬

eral times with tbe thought of having ut be¬

come associated with the work in North Dakota.

tVe even held a signed contract for a number of weeks, trying to make up our mind that we

could afford to give up the work that we had

started on The Billboard and accept a larger

salary for far more congenkil work. We never

reached that point where we could desert the

work that was needed to be done here. We are now glad that we stuck.

Alexander Karr and Fred Mann have, by Her¬

culean efforts, covered North Dakota with a

sbo wer of music, oratory, clean entertainment

and purposeful lecture*.

C. O. Bruce, of the Standard Chantauqus

System, of Lincoln, Neb., risited North Dakota

and ran into Alexander Karr while in

seardi of facts that might Justify his

press agent in stating before their circuit had

even given a dress rehearsal that: “This new

plan in fall and winter programs built for a

community purpose presents a service so unique,

progressive and- constructive in commnnity build¬

ing that the COMMUNITY SERVIUE PRO-

GRAMS are being heartily commended by all

classes of people.”

We would like to ask where and how the

facta were gathered upon which the press

agent based hit aasertiont?

When tbe I. B. C. A. met In Chicago two

years ago one of the events of that convention

was the address of Alexander Karr. He told

whit they had don* In North Dakota. How they

had put in bnndreds of these commnnity courses.

We published a full account of all of this In The

Bitltmard, giving even the namea of tbe towns

where the events were then being held.

Mr. Karr, being a man. baa repeatedly iaid ns

open tribute for the g-xid work that we havs

dune and the inspiration we have been to him.

Beal men do Just tueb things.

Now, let’s look at another story. A few years

ago Bob Seeds came into our office «nd told us

a glowing story about how two young fellows

were struggling to make tbe then defunct Britt

Lycenm Rurean a go. These two young fellows

Were said to be making every sacrifice to put

this bureau on its feet. If memory serves o*

right, the story pictured two young fellowa eat¬

ing their lunch In tbe office, as these boys were

trying to save every penny possible to make a

success of their new busiaesa. We were very

kindly disposed at that time to do and say

everything possible to aid tbe good lurk that

should reward such noble efforts. We never

missed an opportunity to say or write words of

encouragement about C. O. Rruce, E. M. Avery

and tbe Standard Bureau.

Just Imagine. If you ran, hbw we felt when

we read the insidious attack upon us that C. O.

Brucs and tbe hlandard Bureau had sent out in

a letter In which be tried to pnt both The Bill¬ board and tbe writer in a class with the unde-

s'rables—with those whom ha thinks should be

shunned.

For the benefit of those who did not see

the letter that the Standard Bureau sent out

signed by C. 0. Bruce, secreary-treasurer, we

will reprint that part of It that refera to us.

The letter was beaded: To Talent on All Cir¬

cuits. Here are tbe second and third para¬

graphs of that letter:

publication celled The Billboard. This publica¬

partment, and this department is in charge Of

Fred High. lie is a trememhiuily shrewd fel¬

low, and started this department a couple of years ago with no eucouragi-ment from mana¬

gers or talent, but has contrived in numeroua

ways to gather lyceum and Chautauqua informa¬

tion, and ha* run it thru bit department to such

an extent that be has obtained valuable adver¬

tising from these aourcea.

“Tbe managert, generally, do not approve of

this department, and have given It no support.

Tbe more worthwhile attractions have held the

same attitude, becauee theg do not want to be

pulled into that claaa. We would not assume

tbe authority to say, 'Do not support ‘The Bill

I>oard,' but we suggest that y»u consider very

eerlonsly the company you will find there before

yon enter the bonae.”

When we were in Texas a few years ago do¬

ing a rlrcuit Chautauqua we received a telegram

from Lini'oln offering ns a position aa publicity

man with the Standard Bureau. We turned It

down. Reluctantly. We accepted the position

on The Billboard instead. At that time we were

Bruce advises all of bia own talent t» consider

well before they ojien the door, for fear they

will have to aaeoriate with such aa we. “Yea,

verily.V aayetb ail the little upliftera.

Mr. Bruce acknowledged to us at the conven¬

tion that neither the writer nor The Billboard

had ever wronged him, or said a word or done

a thing against him or bis bnrean. He said

that we bad written some mean things about a

friend of hit. Ye gods! It wat all right for him to attack both The

Billboard and the writer, but when we defended

our honesty and opinions, using the same kind

of weapons that were need on ns, then we be¬

came objects to be shunned. We were attacked

first—don’t forget that. Two of the very attractiona that Brother

Bruce has on hla “Community Service I'r<.>gram’’

Editorial Comment

WHEAT growers who are browbeat¬

ing others of that ilk in the en¬ deavor to force the price of that cereal back to $3 00 a bushel are greatly in¬ censed at the planters of the South who are threatening their neighbors with dire punishments if they sell any of their cotton before the price gets back to 40 cents, but they unite to denounce union labor for striking.

What was it Puck said?

The serious effects of the advance

in railroad rates, wliich The Hill-

board was first to discern and point out, continue to grow apace. Not only are the poor shows closing and coming in, but the more expensive of Uie good attractions are feeling the hardship.

Messrs. Gillmore, Mountford, Weber and Lemke stand ready to ‘ lend the managers all of their immense moral su]>purt in any and all endeavors to secure relief. Mr. Mountford, in par¬ ticular, has been Interested and active —on his own account conducting both a crusade and a campaign of virile op¬ position.

But the managers must lead the fight, and what they need most Is an appreciation of this fact.

It is up to them to wage the war and “general” it.

They need to get together moreover. The indoor bunch should unite with the outdoor element and all strive to¬ gether.

Occasionally some hide-bound

bigot rises to proclaim vocifer¬

ously that the fair is a thing of evil, because, forsooth. It offers the public some entertainment features that are calculated to drive dull care away and make one forget for the time being the

“Tho fair of today is much the same thing. Goods are not bought and sold on the spot to a great degree, but bar¬ ter and sale arise from the exhibits. Tlie entertainment differs, but it is just as much the spontaneous concomitant

I An English Vision of the Future A w'ell-known English composer of scores for musical comedies, ac¬

cording to The Manchester Guardian, has been advising professional musicians to think seriously of the picture palace as the future basis of their art and livelihood. “The concert is uncertain enough.” says he. “the opera a positive gamble, the theater orchestra is a mere stop-gap to which nobody pays any attention at all. Go to the klnema, therefore; consider its ways and be wise.” Its palaces grow more palatial, its amenities more sumptuous and extended. It possesses lounges and ante¬ rooms that are even more spendid than the ones that are shown on its films; it has restaurants and tea-rooms—in America, it is reported, even a Turkish bath; it goes in for excellent orchestras, which are occasionally allowed to play excellent music. Above all things, the excellent orches¬ tras, once provided, are encouraged to regard their performance as a turn In itself; they play selections "on their own” while the operative In the asbestos chamber rearranges his reels, stretches his legs or takes a cup of tea. So clearly the future of the professional player of the harp or violin is with the kinema—just as is the case with the actors and dramatists who every day turn their abilities to the drama of two dimen¬ sions instead of the older and superseded drama of three. The wiseness of the saw and the modernity of the instance are so clear that they need no further proving. One’s only wonder is whether the process need stop with the actors and musicians. Surely the umbrella is broad enough to shelter one or two other arts that have hitherto gone unfriended. Sculp¬ ture might be roped in to equip the magnificent entrance halls with images of Mr. Chaplin and other national heroes; flashed upon the screen, the verse of our contemporary poets might rehearse the beauty of Miss Pickford. Literature is already under tribute, and authors who have not sulficent sense to write direct for the films are justly punished by seeing their incompetent work “adapted” for the same medium. In this way the whole boiling of Muses might very well find their appropriate focus on the screen, and the picture palace be transformed into the true and acceptable athenaeum.”

cares of every-day life. And because the aforementioned bigot is vociferous and noisy—as most pests are—the un¬ thinking may possbly give heed to his vaporings.

To thousands, however; yes, to hun¬ dreds of thousands, the fair is one of the brightest spots in their existence, and anything that gives real joy to the multitude can not be evil. Fair time Is a time of renewing old acquaintances and making new; of gleaning new ideas, broadening the mind; of getting away for a day or two from the monot¬ onous grind and enjoying one’s self to tlie full.

An tditorial writer in The Birming¬ ham Age-Herald has given a word pic¬ ture of the fair that rings true. “Another State P'alr,” he says. “The oldest thing among nations, and one of

picture houses get space under what is termed “commercial rates” and tho theater has to pay double that. In consequence the road attraction is at a disadvantage. His ad, tho he spends the same amount of money, gets only half the space as the picture house, and, therefore. looks just half the size, and in the eyes of the localites it would seem that the picture house *haa a greater attraction at a much smaller price.

If he tries to compete with the pic¬ ture attractions he will be spending about $400 a week, while half of that in the ordinary small town ought to bo sufficient. With the quiet business that a number of attractions are getting, tho extra newspaper advertising is getting to be quite a vexing question.

CERTAIN managers on “The Coast”

are representing to their people

that Equity sanctions nine perform¬ ances per week, and in support thereof are offering what purport to be “quo¬ tations” from letters from Executive Secretary Frank Gillmore

The representations are untrue and the “quotations” or excerpts are utterly false.

Actors and actresses should be fair • nough to write Mr. Gillmore for the facts before criticizing him.

Managers ought to be above prac¬ tices of that sort.

The pictures arc using the b«st work of the lithograph artists and in profusion, and when it’s all up it is hard to tell at a quick glance which is the picture and which is the road show. The advance agent of today is surely up against a guessing game.

BOX-OFFICE COURTESY BiH^nt experience with the demigods w1h> preside over the ticket windowa of New

York theaters creates in me the amazed feeling that in the list of Crimea the newapapers write of doily there are so few oasi-s of assault and battery upon the individuals who ■ell admisKion to the playlioawa. It oui'e w.ta poxaibie to approach the ticket wicket without the fear of linving at least one ear bitten off and tlie chance of getting the kind of a seat YOU wanted. 'Tlint is kll over now. First of all there ia a large apei'lal police¬ man standing beside you to see that in the event of truulile or argument with the haughty (lerson acting aa salesman Y'OF can be thrown nut of tlie loliby wiiluiut disturbing the waiting line. The large, aiiei'ial policeman bawls liis orders down the lobby: “Hey you! Get back in line!” "Come on. mister, step lively! Don’t keep the line waitin’!’* All this as you timidly ask for seats. No matter where Y'OC want to sit. YOU arc only the buyer and Y'OU have nothing to say uboiit it. Y'OU oiiglit to be glad to pay three dollara and thirty cents for seats that the box-office man could get five dollars for thru Ids speculator friend. Your money is snapped out of your band before you know whether the pasteboards are for Christmas or Fourth of July matinee, or whether your change is correct (no misdket rectified after leaving the window). You arc barki-d nut of the way by the ticket seller yowling, “Next!” The special officer drugs you out of the way and glares angrily at you because you have taken up so much time. Your seats are in X. You wanted them In D.

Does It ever occur to these creatures that they are the servants of the patrons? That a piirchaaer sliould have the right to say what he will take and what be will not? That the treasurer ia employed to please, not browbeat or blackmail ciiatomcrs? Theater managers are the only purveyors of merchandise who do nut demand some measure of cxiiirteay ou the part of their salesmen to the buying public. The ticket seller gives you what IlE likes or what haa not been turned over to the apeculators in collusion w.tl, the l>ox.-offlce; the door tender snaps the tickets out of your hand and tlie iiKliera treat you as if you were a prisoner out on pande. AS A RULE THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ( OrUTESY IN THE AMERICAN THEATER WHERE THE CUSTOklEIt IS CONCERNED. The slogan tst “Get the suetcer’s money." The theater Is only another form of the l irciis. and tlie methods of Uie oldtime circuses, long abandoned by the circus showm.m, flourish in the modern. hlgn-<fiiiBs, up-to-date theater. The fault la to tie laid at the dmir of the commercial managers, who see nothing In the Institution of the theater but a means of getting “easy” money.—PATTERSON JAMES.

THEATER MUSIC One of the significant features tho domination of the dramatic theaters by the

money chaser* is the almost total cstinitiuu of good music as a preliminary to the per¬ formance and as between-tbe-aets relaxation. There was a period when a first-class or¬ chestra, playing real music, was considered an asset to a playhouse. People came early* to listen. They enjoyed what they beard. They met old friends in the great overtures. In the theater the spirit of anticipation was heightened by the Tloliiis and the cellos and the basses and the horns.

If you believe the money changers all this was spoiled by the demands of the uuton- izt'd musicians. It is not true. The elimination of the orchestra or the lopping of it off to the sixe of an Italian table d’hote trio was nothing but the desire to <'Ut down the payroll, to get as much out of the public as possible, and give as little in return as the patrons would stand. Not long ago I beard at a theater where a three dollar production was being given a queer noise emanating from the orchestra pit. It sounded exactly like the asthmatic organ on a carousel or merry-go-round. The fiddles S'lueaked, the drums rolled and the bass drum thumped soggily. It was an instrument fashioned after the one- man band idea, and It was operated by one man. It thumped, groaned, s<iuealed and wheeled Its way thru an overture, an exit marcli and three selections. When I came out my forefinger was stiff with cramp from the Involuntary reaching for the brass ring. Yet the people who had paid $3.30 per seat for the show had to sit thru the torture, be¬ cause the American theater is run on the "Public Be Damned’’ principle, and will be so run until the "business men” who control It are retired to the obscurity from which in an evil hour they emerged and the playhouse once more comes Into the bands of those who really love and respect it.—PATTERSON JAMES.

“BECAUSE OF HELEN ff

An Dncompromislnf Comedy in Three Acta by Alan Brooks. Staged by Bertram Har¬

rison and tbe Author.

Alan Brooks, who for a long time has been wandering in the waste of “iH>llte” vaudeville as about the last relic.of variety as it was before that business changed from the entertainment to the percentage basis. Is conducting an experiment at tbe Punch and Judy Theater. It was originally called '’Merchant* of Venus.’* a very in ferior pun, and has since been reohrislened •'Heesnse of Helen.*’ Neither title mean* anything. Just as the sliow does, a seiitenre whl<h no one but Mr. Brook* can appre¬ ciate, because bis play Is filled with ones Just as bad. To quote tbe remark* of a dewy- eyed young thing who sat ferninst me’ ”He use* too many big word* and saya too niuch at a time.” That, in a mouthful, is the trouble with "Because of Helen." In the attempt to make hi* lines epigrammatic Mr. Brooks has made hi* play phlegmatic, and striving after cynicism he ha* found sophomoric cheapness. To quote such an ex¬ pert as "I'ncle Joe" Cannon, an epigram which needs a paper and pencil ’ain’t worth a damn” The sclntillatlona of ‘’Because of Helen" need a phonograph, with the excep¬ tion of those like "the allegatb^n and the alligator,” which have been outlawed in Mr. Brooks' own variety field for ages.

The play is the elaboration of tbe vaudeville sketch .which the antbor presented with genuine succesa for many seasons in the variety theaters A* a one-act play It had novelty, crispness and sliced. It was well done by Mr. Bro'ks, who bas much personal, charm. Vaudeville audience* of tbe better type liked the act immensely. Bat vaudeville audiences are not tbe same as tbe patrons of the dramatic tbeateri, and there is a wide difference between the variety sketch and tbe prolonged drama. Vandeville audiences of the higliest type are trained to appreciate fast comedy talk. They get points quicker than the ordinary play audience, and nothing goes in the varieties like what appear* to be "cle*er’’ or ’’classy.** Imperfections are less apt to be delected than tliey are when the same material Is spread out for three acts before observer# who have their own Ideas of "clas*'* and "elevemess," who have time between acta to pick flaws in what they have seen and who keep their eyes open for what is to come. That is the trouble with "Because of Helen ** A* a vaudeville act it was excellent, but it could not stand the stretching treatment necessary to make It into a three-act play. Like Mr. Brooks himself It bad not enoogh meat on its frame to stand the process.

Besides Mr. Brooks the cast containi the names of Robert Kelly, a husky, manly player, and many pretty ladies, including Carr«dl McComas, who Is a dream of luve- linesf in a red dress and an object of anxious Interest In an extreme evening guwo. Miss Mc<'omas it a talented and capable player, but she ought to take a look at her second act dress. It is true that she is cast as a dancing girt from the Palace who makes her own clothe*. F'rom angry vaudevlllians come stories of the desperate con¬ ditions in the varieties and how hard it is to make both ends meet even, and especially when playing tbe Palace Miss MePomas* dinner frock would appear not to lend color to the stories.—PATTERSON JAMES.

MAX MARGIN Presents

“THREE LIVE GHOSTS” A Oumedy in Three Acts by Freileric S. Isbam.

It ifi a strange sensation to find anything so pleasantly bnman as "Three Live Ghovis” down in Greenwich Village. That is what adds to the entertainment furnished, a ri-rt of charmed-to-be-dlsapiminted effect. For "Three Live Ghosts" is 4 corking good alx-w. it is not a great play, but it is something far rarer, an amusing and interest¬ ing one. If you read the pre-s agent's advertisements in the dally pai>ers yon will dis¬ cover that “great” plays are as common as press agents' methoils. There is not a show'running lu New York that has not at some time or other been "a great play.” "Three Live Ghosts” is not a groat play, let it be repeated, but it lias fun. pathos, the charm of delightful Impossitiiliiy, a love story and. atx’ve everything in It. the iKillce, law and onler and aVl the rest of the minions of Justice get decidedly the worst of all encounters with the cbarsclers. What more can anyone a>k?

It has also fearless acting. The men are n-’t afraid to act like men. the women like women, and there is md the customary encounter between males and females to see whiib can l>e the most ladylike. Here is a show in which there is an old woman who loves a fat baby and a Ix-ttle of gin. The description may lead you to suspect that "Old Sweetheart” is a cannibal aa well as a sosber, but she Isn'L There is her burly son, who Is not tvxr refined to toss his tipsy, selfish stepmotlier out of the way when the wants to turn up his pal to the police. And these people are named Uubbins! ^Doesn't that sound Dii kensouian?

There It a dutty gentleman whose shell-shocked brain confuses him as to the owner¬ ship of valii.ibles which meet bis eye and wlio hauls pearls, rubies and diamond tiaras out «f hit is’i Lets with alt-'getber winsome nonchalance. But there is something really fine in all the story, an.l it has lo do with the utterly low browed virtue of steadfist- nest to one'a pal. which is so often exhibited by representatives of the lower orders. es|iecl«lly when being Interviewed in the Interest of the public g-xid by gentlemen of the I’olK-e Deimrtuient. It wouldn't be fair to tell the story, but It is worth any man's time to go down to see it. provided lie wants entertainment, laughter, a little mist in bis eye and a generaH sense of pleasuie, to give all or any one of which ought to be the piirixvse of the llieatcr. ’ licryl Mener as •'Old Sweetheart.” who loves her gin and respects the law when

It offers rewards, gives a performance which is without flaw. She has the almost el- tim t art of getting cometly results by the quiet methisl. There isn’t a tittle of ovei playing In her leading «f a very long part, and it is one of the finest bits of charac¬ ter acting this barirn season has witnessed. Cliaries M- Naughton, as Jimmie Gulibins. Is another member of the cast whose work is be.vond criticism. He is sure, supremely D.itural and so typically perfeot that he might be a specialist from the London music li.ills. Percy Helton gives a capital performance as the -American youngster, and Cyril Chadwtik. as Hie dotty gent. N very gi»xl. Briggs, of Scotland Yard, Is in the hands of Charles Dalton, which Insures a workmanlike Joh. Flora Shefl!leld is not a "great” actress, but she is young and pretty, she talks plainly, and after the American manner, wlilih l« so evtraordinary a phenomenon that minor deficiencies do not matter. Little MI'S Slielfield Is a pioneer She is opening up the way for theatergoers tb hear once more tlie language of their country. Hail to her!—P.ATTERSON J.AXfES.

1 JUDGE FAVORS PUBLIC DEFENDER \ Another advocate of the Public Defender has come forward in the

person of Judge H. L. Parry, Judge In the Criminal Division of the Su- ,>

perior Court at Atlanta, Ga. In a letter to The Atlanta Constitution <> concerning an address made recently by former Justice Hughes before ' • the Americali Bar Association, in which he suggested the justice and ]’I ■wisdom of establishing a free legal aid bureau to be maintained at Gov- ' [ ernment exi>onse. Judge Parry says: “It is true what he (Mr. Hughes) says about it being idle talk about ‘equality before the law,' when on < ■ account of poverty many citizens are compelled to forego their rights.” "

Practically all of Judge Parry’s life has been spent in the courtroom, much of it in the criminal division, and the suggestion he has to offer is based upon the experience and observation thus obtained. His sugges- <> tion is this: <'

“That our Legisature be induced to enact a law giving the Judge of ' ’ the Criminal Division of our Superior Court the authority to appoint a l'*ublic Defender, ■whose duty it shall be to advise with, represent and de- ,, fend all those charged with crime fAho are not able to employ an at- <« torney, and who shall be paid a salary out of the public treasury. <•

“The Judges have always had the authority to appoint some attorney * ’ to represent a defendant who has no counsel. In fact, it is made their duly ] | to do this. < 1

“Those lawyers who have had experience and are skilled in the prac- <> tice are rarely seen silting around in the courtroom ■when the prisoners '' are brought in for the assignment of counsel, and the judge has either ' ’ to send out and have this class of lawyers brought into the courtroom ’’ to be assigned to this charity work, or else assign such members of the ,, bar as may chance to be present, ■which frequently results in the ap- <>

pointment of a young attorney who has never had a case in the court. ' ’ This is not ‘equality before the law.’

“Much could be said in support of the assertion that our present ,, practice is not conducive to the meting out of justice or to the establish- ,, ment of that ‘equity before the law’ which we claim, but rather that <> it tends, in many instances, to ‘open a broad road to Bolshevism,’ as <’ Justice Hughes expresses it.

“We want justice—justice for the offender and Justice for the public. ,, but ■we should not be compelled to pay a double price for it, and that Is i> what we are doing under the present practice.” <>

The outlook is for several new Wild West Shows on the road next season, overland and by railroad. These will be shows, and Roundups, Uodeos, Stampedes, etc., vrill have to push the spirit of contest and out*of-the ordinary thrills to increase interest in their events.

Mack continued his attacks after the lion had barked away from its victim and drive It into an auxiliary cage.

Reports from I.os Angeles agree the debate be¬ tween Will Hogeis and the Kev. Dr. Brougher, a popular minister, was a draw. Rogers asked his aud' n'e mho opened the country and an- swereil It him-clf by saying it was the cowboy. Then be a-kcd who closed it. and replied like¬ wise that It was the preacher. After that he raid that in Zululand weakling boys are de¬ stroyed St the age of three, ‘ and Vou never hea’d tell of a preacher in Zululand." Dr. Brougher retorted that if it had not been for the monks, the priests, pieacbers. rabbis and mlsiinnaries there would h.ive been no country fur the cowboys to open. Also he said that the cowpuncher if to ignorant of things Biblical that most of tbe^ think the Eiiistles were the wives of the A[>ostlei. The Jury was. unable to come to an agreement, but we opine that the mini'try could do with a lot more like Dr. Brougher.

CIRCUS PICKUPS

By FLETCHER SMITH

An early doting, it now eeema. is the order for most. If not all the larger circuaea in the South. It la doubtful if any will be out later than the middle of November, according to my observances. The reason for this la the condition of the picking, ginning and aalea of cotton, which at preaent it in a terrible abape. as well at tbe preaent low coat of that staple article. I understand the same conditions prevail in tbe tobacco sections of the South, tbe price being far off and the producers not marketing their prod¬ uct.

Had a pleasant chat with Ernest Haag At Troy. Ala. His abow it now in Southern Georgia and be expects to remain out until about Christ¬ mas. Said be had a fine aeaion.

Reports have it that tbe Rboda Royal Circus will dose its season about November 14, and will reduce to a 10-car abow for ten weeks in Florida.

My old friend and tide partner, Charles Ber¬ nard. has closed with tbe Rboda Royal Show, and Is back with the .Sparks Clrcns. Wlien it

comet to laying out copy for ada. Chta. is there "forty waya."

la^arned with regret the aeddeut that befell Billy Reid, the well-known doa'n Billy writes me that he baa Just been ditebarged frs>m a hos¬ pital in Memphis, where hr underwent an opeia- tion for blood poisoning, cauteil by the scratch of a rusty nail. It was neceaatry to amputate one of hit legs below tbe knee. He would like to bear from hit frlenda, cart of tbe General Delivery, Memphla. Tenn.

An interesteil spectator at the Walter L Main Shows at Troy. Ala., was Hav-A-Ijif Walker, of tab. show fame. He is making ’em laugh and making money, as well, with the Milt Tolbert repertoire show, under canvas.

J. Wilson Cliffee (Cliff Rosa) baa entirely re¬ covered from hia recent illnest, and is at hia home in Maramoneck. L. I. Hia sickness caused him to cancel a contract with one of tbe wheel burlesque gbuwi, and "Cliff” will now be spout¬ ing lines with a dramatic show.

Van Lewis, the former well-known circus cor- netlst, last with the Cole Bros.’ Shows, Is now located at Birmingham, Ala., playing with a Jazz orchestra. Van refuses to wear a toupee, and can still sting ’em up aa of yore.

Clarence Harmount, who actually has 42 drops and hanging pieces for his ’Tncle Tom" tsbow. as well as a great snow effect, has dosed his tenting season, and will reorganize to open in opera houses in the near future. Clarence re¬ ports the biggest season ever. "Dad,’* Georgs and Dennie are enjoying the layoff at CIrclevllle and Columbus, Ga.

Gardner Wilson, the rising young press agent with the Walter L. Main Shows, «nd William DeMott, the principal rider, now proudly wear the "a^Iera,** and are fullfledged Elks. What twenty or more "(Bills’' with tbe Mala Shows did to ’em was a plenty.

Johnny Parker, who used to feed ’em tbe way they liked it with the Sun Bros.’ Cirrus, and who had tbe reserved seat tickets early tbit season with the Main Shows, is still playing the Carolinaa with his own wagon show, and Is making sufficient "kale" to Iniure a pleaaant winter at Norfolk, Va.

Another young "oldtimer," Earl Johasou, who did about everything with tbe Renta Bros.’ Show, from fixing to feeding tbe bunch, making annonneemrnta and tide-show openings. Is a comer with bis own abow and next season will discard trucks for two cars. Watch Earl grow; he’t a hustler and knows the game.

Gn (he whole. Sells-FIntn suffered few mla- haps In Its wide Journe.vings this scaaon. But two days were lost. Tile show, thanks to tbe perfptt handling of Henry B. Gealry. generil manager, moved easily, apparently without ef fort, altho atralalpg effort was required at tiniea. Tbe two stands lost—Hherbrooke, (Jiie- liec.

The loss of la>n Moore, tbe veteran rlown, was deeply felt hy tbe troupe. lain has been misaed Bee Sweeney, who fell at Alhan.v, and Theol Deino, who fell at Chicago, were both with the show long before the closing date. Tbe men Injured when the cookhnose wagon crashed thru the bridge at Gpthrie w«re soon recovered. Big Snyder, tbe tusker, greatest of all performing elephants, executed by a firing squad at Sallna, had to go. It la better that it la gone. And there you hare the 1920 mlsh,aps, losses, sorrows. Tile rest was Joy.

The show traveled nearly 17.300 miles. In the East It more than repeateil its astounding am cess of loio. Huce hiisineis was the rule, and, for the fliit time, all stands in the West Jammed the sixpide big tip. Only a few dates In the South fell below par. and these were In the cotton roiinlrr,

The ihow is routed to the winter quarters at Denver, Col . over the "Rurllnglon." and the latter part of the week will see U stowed away at Hazel Court, in the yards and out at Orer- land Park.

Tbe troupe and tbe advance are glad that it was a great season; glad that tbe results were happy for the game man at Denver, whose heart hat been with them at every turn of the long road. From Edward Arlington and Henry B. Gentry to the last program boy and the last property boy. tbe advance and the show are glad that H H. Taromen was laughing when he aaid, "Au Revalr.” That was worth while—the sight of the big, little chief leaving the lot with Otto Floto, with a Joyous amile for all. And it was good when Otto Floto tried to thank the troupe and couldn’t. Everybody understood He. too. bad to be content svlth “.\n Revoir."

Taking Big Part in Country Life, Says Fred W. Leu

VERY MUCH ALIVE ■‘Thrre are few ttiinss in which Ohio docs not excel,” ga;s Fred W. Leu, in writinif of Ohio fairs in a recent issue of The Cincinnati Post. • The country fair of Ohio has been invested with the dignity and traditions of the church and school. This has been developed to the ex¬ tent that makes it the great practical educator of our farm folk.

“For original attractions there are few fairs t’mt do not like to emulate the example of ‘Put’ S-’amiles, down at Ottawa, who has been the secretary of the Putnam County Fair for a period of something like 117 years. Sandies was ies|>onsible for the organization of the Ohio Fair Boys’ Association and has bten president of that association for mure than a quarter of a century. He has headed the Ohio Fair Hace Circ uit for a like period.

■'One of the noticeable strides that hare been made by fairs in*reecnt years is the fact that advertising has develofied en attendance that has shattered all previous records. And now there are fair seerelaries that annually seek a publicity man and a<Ivertise in scores of papers As ’Put’ Sandies would say. In his ch.aracter- istio, original manner, ‘The ink ^dashers of this community, plus, of course, the exhihits that maintain annual Interest, are what make my fair a success.’

”K. Sweet, the m.an who made the Wood County Fair one of the big atiractlous of North¬ western Ohio, says little aliout it, luit annually employs a publioity man to forward the cause of Wood County agriculturists.

’’There is only progression in Olilo county fairs. This will continue, with a jiollcy of clean fairs, until every county in the State supports its annual exhibit, making it the one big. practical educational feature of the year."

BIG IMPROVEMENTS

At Riverview Park, Chicago

Chicago, Oet. 14.—Hardly had the lights gone out In Riverview Park, marking the annual swan song <if the famous resort, last week, when workmen began donning overalls, erecting si'af- fohling and getting carpenters’ tools ready. New rides and general improvements all thru tbe park are scheduled, and the workmen are already busy on them. The Uig Tower, tbe monumental structure, which has not figured cspeT'ally for months, is being given a new e..at of paint, studded with myriad Incandescents and fitted with a powerful searchlight. In the t'p of the gre.t tower will be Installed a monster clock, with chimes, which will ring all the Detional anthems at regular intervals.

Work on the new promenades are being pushed dtirinit the mild fall weather. But for the In¬ terference of the visiting children during the vacation period tbe promenades would have b< en completed by now. The eonstnietion men said that tbe trampling of the kids’ feet over Uie newly-paved walks kept the tarvla ftom coming to the surface and thereby retarded the natural comple'tiun of the Job.

He numbered among his pet- m formers several headliners In vaudei’llle to- _ day, Harry Watson and George Dickie being ^ some of Ills graduates. Tiie doctor retired H| from active business about four years ago, and bad bevn making his home with bis daughter, Mrs. Shelliiorne. here In Toronto. He was t frequent caller and a welcome one at my office, and be loved to talk of the old days. In August be thought that he would make a visit to bis old home In Kochester. He appeared to be In the best of health, but be bad only been a few days In Rorhester when the 'grim mes¬ senger* called on him. He was talking to some friends, while waiting for a street car. when the summons came. Dr. Gollaway was in his keventy-slxth year. He leaves to mourn his loss three daughters and one son. After Ufe’a fitful fever he sleeps well.’*

He aays: “There was Jack Collins, the Standard Pen Co.'s demonstrator, who is an exceptionally clever worker. Anotber demonstrator I have seen In different ports of the country was Little Elisabeth, with a ‘mllllon-dollar’ fiash, one of the finest ever used to demonstrate from—all nickle-plated and surrounded with expensive vel¬ vet banners. Sba was back at the old game, potato peelers, and seemed to be doing .very good. Her work Is neat and cleancut. Out In the open , was Elfman, with knife sharpeners and tops; i several needle workers and scale men; also Whit- m mao, making a swell demonstration with one of those 'mlllion-doltar’ flashes on Goodyear's ce- ^ meat (it seems the boys are getting the right Idea, here. also.

This orgauizatlun is probably playing the rloseat to the center of town—that is. on a lot —of any show in years. The location la at 14th and Walnut. The Knights of Pythias, un¬ der whose auspices the shows afe exhibiting, %ad twenty men at work clearing off the lot, which wan an old Junk yard. With this central loca¬ tion and with the excellent auspices, this Is proving a good stand, and from Monday night until tbit writing the place has been well filled with seekers of recreation, ahQ the shows and rides are doing good business.

The show hud at Orangeburg, S C. been up against several weeks of rainy weather before coming hero, but everything seemed to be going right and not a drop of ruin fell during the engagement.

The show carries a wonderful aggregation ct vv sbowmen; and the thirteen shows, five rides and gj an abundance of concessions made an attractive appearance when set up on the spacious midway •• on the fair grounds. Every show on the ground k entered to women and children as well aa men, and there was not a sign of a ao-called "grift Joint.” Carnivals are barred from Winston- Salem, except during fair week, and when the writer cslletl on the fair secretary he was surprised to hear that the Bubin & Cherry Shows will be back to the Winston-Salem Fair agala J. next season, the secretary stating that aa long F as the Bubtn & Cherry Shows maintain the r< standard of the past two years no other esr-- .bi nival would be considered to show here.

To aay the ahow was beautiful la but commenting on It mildly. The decorative scheme waa wonderful, aa were the displtya In the exblbltioB balle. The attractlona were many. In the big forum waa staged a pageant depicting the history of Wichita, the cast comprising flfteen hundred people. The hippodrome features were fumlabed by the Western Vaudeville Managers’ Associa¬ tion, of Chicago. In all Manager Henry B.

Chicago, Oct. 15.—The hanilsome Cameo Boom of the Morrison Hotel Is now undergoing ex¬ tensive changes and being beautifully redec¬ orated in honor of the banquet and ball to tie given by the Showmen's League of America Wednesday evening. December 1.

Edward P. Neumann, chairman of the ex¬ ecutive committee, made a fotunate choice when he recommended the Cameo Boom. Here¬ tofore the banquet tablet bare been set so closely together that It was almost impossible for the waiters to properly serve the guests, and if no accident worse than having a glass of ice water spilled down some diner’s back happened, all were satisfied. This year all will be different. From 1.000 to 1,200 people can be comfortably seated in this immense room, by far the largest In the city of Chl- ctgo and possibly in the country. Five hun¬ dred usually crowded the Oild Room to ca¬ pacity, and when It became necessary to use the annex and balconies it made it unpleasant for those banished to these outer pnivlnoes. This yeir all tables will be In* direct view of the siieaker's table with plenty of space be¬ tween tables for the waiters to carry on their work.

Mr. Neumann announces that the tickets are now ready, and if the members will send in their cheeks and reservations at once It will he to their advantage, as they will get better position and save the confusion of the usual last minute rush. His address is 231 N. D'-s- plaines street, rhleago.

The date of the ball and banquet was changed so that the fiinetlon could be held during the meeting of the F’alr Secretaries in Chieago, and so that all of the folks generally in the show world would have a better chance to attend.

Bartleaville, Ok., Oct. 13 —The twenty eighth week of the aeas-m for the INitteraon & Kl'ne Bhowa was opened with ss much welcoming ss that received by the "prodigal son” on h!s re¬ turn. for on the arrival here of the *'gold«n apecial” early Sunday afternoon there was sn immense crowd to hid welcome to returned friends. It seems that the favorable Impreaalon m.vde with the Bartleavilleonlana during the visit here last yesr of this organization waa still fresh and they were only too pleased to again welcome the caravan. The lot on which the shows are located—on the main street#, three block# from the Santa Fe Bepot—enticed a crowded ffildwaj to greet the opening Monday night.

E. A. Marshall, electrician, la steadily lucreae* ing his concesalon bold'nga, and most thlnga discarded on a lot axe usually found in E. A's possession the next week. He says: "Thoaa odds and ends come In bandy at times.'*

Show representatives making Bartlesville will find a real trouper connected with Bartles¬ ville Evening Enterprise in Earle M. Frleberg. He anre extends the glad hand and knowa the racket, having trooped with the old Cole Shows, as well aa having had the band with the Great Patterson Showa.

CHICAGO. ILL

P One of the odd Inatancea that aometimet fact a ahowmet) existed at Mc.tleater, Ok., when Wor* 1 tham'a World's Best Showa unloaded there on ^ Bunday. The showa arrived early In the after¬

noon, ending an unumially fast run from Muako* , gee, where they furnished the midway attra^ a tiona at the Oklahoma Free State Fair. d When the shows arrived in McAleater they f found one end of the lot less than half a block

from the runs. However, to set on the lot they bad to haul five Mocks, climb one steep bill. I cross a narrow viaduct, and then go down a atnp bill a city block long.

The Katy tracka where the showa unloaded are on a fill. At the side of the tracks la a signal absnty, which bloi'ked a abort bridge being built to run the wagons on to the lot. George Callahan directed the Brat big wagon— the cookhouse—safely to the grounds and the others followed in quick time. Manager Fred Beckman had laid out the lot some days be¬ fore. This enabled the different wagona to be quickly "spotted.” Monday morning found the show family np early, and many of tbe abowa

i" opened In the afternoon. ror The showa visited McAleater under the ana* of pice, of tbe Rupert Harrison Poet, No. 70. of American Legion. The I.eglivn organisation

proved to be a live one. It bad spread tbe news of the coming of the shows, and had billed

^ them strongly In several surrounding towns. Tbe I bend, accompanied by Alyne Potter the prlma

donna, vltlted surrounding towns and gave con¬ certs on the streets which materially helped attendance thrnout the week.

Ttie showa enjo.ved a remarkable buslneaa in Muskogee. The show-hnngry of that city re¬ mained on the fair grounds until late Saturday night.—BEVERLY WHITE,

J. H. JOHNSON, secretary of the Heart of America Showmen's Club, went to Chicago lasi week and was missed around beadqnartere at the Coates House. K. C. “Jest naturally" has to have you here, J. H.

THE HEART OP AMERICA SHOWMEN'S CLUB held its first offleial entertainment of the season Tuesday night, October 12, when a big banquet and ball was tendered the Rnasell Brothers' Shows and the J. L. Landes Shows, both in K. C. the week of October IL

0. W, KEERNAN, the carnival promoter. Is responsible for the Russell Brothers’ Shows being here for the benefit of tbe Building Trades Con¬ vention. Mr.' and Mrs. Keeman make K. C. their home.

S. L. ST.LNLET, manager of the Western Show Properties Company, left October 12 for hts vacation of two weeks, which be and bis wife will spend at Cedar Rapids, his former home. Mr. Stanley is a hustler and a hard worker and deserves the rest. However, Mrs. Pt.mley Is along, so perhaps be will have “some¬ thing to do."

H. S. TYLER is planning to leave K, C. ne*» week on a long motor trk> to California, accom¬ panied by Mrs. Tyler. *

W. B. GROFF, manager, and I. L. (Lonie) Peyser, agent, of the Great Northern Shows, were here last week organizing this newest addi¬ tion to camivaldom. Both were bnsy and happy, as "things were going good." This show opens In Topeka. Kan., the week of October 18, under tbe nuspices of the Loyal Order of Moose.

W. J. KEHOB and Mrs. Keboe and 0. Ir. Davla were among the welcome visitors to K. 0. laat week, patting in about fonr days bore. Messrs. Keboe and Davis are organizing a car¬ nival at Bartlesville, Ok., where they will wiii- ter, to be known as the Keboe & Davis Shows, and will he In K. C. occasbmally. .All are look¬ ing well, particnlarly Mrs. Keboe. She doesn't appear aa if she bad ever had a sick day.

EVERY ADVERTISER WANTS TO KNOW WHERE YOU SAW HIS AD.

J. P. S.ANDY closed his season at Stanton. Neb.. October 2, and has come Into K. C. with O. A. Loomis and Doc. Zeiger for ahont a month or six weeks before starting South for tbe win¬ ter. Tbe sandy Shown are in winter quarters at FYemoot, Neb.

QUITE THE FUNNIEST SIGHT and the one which made us Isngb nntil tears ran down our cheeks was that of E. B. Grubs, proprietor of the Western Show Properties Company, on his arrival Sunday morning at tbe Union Sta¬ tion here from Chicago, on bis retnm from bis trip to New York and tbe East. It seems that Mr. Grubs had left his shoes outside bis state¬ room to be shined by tbe Pullman porter Satur¬ day night, when he left Chi, and awoke Just as the train was pulling into the yards of K. C. But no shoes were there. A vain and frantic search by the porter failed to find "the missing links" between Mr. Grubs and K. C. Union Sta¬ tion. So a wheeled chair was brought to Mr. Gmbs at tbe platform, and here he reclined, quite at ease, smoking a cigaret and with bis feet propi>ed up, causing a sensation on ms paasage thru tbe busiest, noisiest and most con¬ gested place In K, O. at that hour of the morn¬ ing. Every one looked aghast at such nn in¬ valid. But a kind taxicab took Mr. Ornha home without more than a few ThonMnd people seeing bis "Pvnl Revere Ride."

E. B. GRUBS, proprietor of the Western Show Properties Company, on bit return to K. P. from New York and the ^st, October II, announced to a representative of Tbe Billboanl in K. C. that

Sonthern DoU Men, “Why?” WHY did Mrs. J. M. Sheesley, of the Sheesley Shows, pay the express charges from Kansas City right

through Chicago into Canada all summer and to Eastern cities, including Newark, New Jersey, right up against New York, this fall on our WEE WEE, BLYNKIE and CRY BABY DOLLS?

WHY did we only carry one half-page ad. on these dolls in The Billboard all season, and that one ad. in the spring issue only?

BECAUSE the above dolls are so far superior to any other dolls on the market that our night and day capacity was taxed all season to take care of orders as scxin as the concessioner saw them or tested them out.

Would it not be good business for your boys who are going South, where the grind is bad anyway, to have the best on the market to coax the jack from their pockets?

Three Style Dolls, With or Without Natural Hair. Priced Right. Not the Cheapest but the Best. If you have not seen our dolls, better send for samples—Free to recognized concessioners. Exclusive copyright models and we protect our rights. We closed three infringers this season and will

close any others that butt in.

SHOWMEN IN GENERAL We have just acquired another four-story building at 525 and 527 Delaware Street, across the street from

our general offices at No. 518 Defaware Street. Our factory facilities are tripled as a result and we will be able to take care of 3”our wants promptly at all times, both in new and used goods. We build anything you want.

Our Mr. Grubs has just r(‘turncd from New York, where he perfected our affiliation with Walter K.Siblej’, “Let Siblej" Do It,’’ and with the opening of our Frisco office, January 1st, we will be in a position to take care of you all, from coast to coast.

REMEMBER, “Anj'thing in the Show Business.” We have it or can get it. Do You Know Us? If not you had better get acquainted. Mutual advantage, you know. *‘If it ain’t

right, we make it right if j'ou are right.” *

"I, like all others, was under the impression that. Inasmuch as this new tax was drafted especially to corer carnivals and street fairs, there wonid be no further liceuses other than city and county taxes, and therefore accepted contracts for Aberdeen. I.aurel. Hattiesburg, Natchez, Grenada, Greenville and Clarktdale.

“Daring the Sooth Mlssisaippl Fair engage¬ ment at Laurel we noted several items In various State papers to the effect that State Revenue Agent Robertson was going to collect $250 per day from each concession in addition to licenses on soft drink stands and on shows having seating capacity, the penalty being a like amount for each day the license remained unpaid.

"A representative of the World at Home ylsited ua at Lanrel and informed us that the Meridian Pair Association made a new contract with their show whereby the show could not ho held liable In any way. .\t Jackson It was rumored that the World at Home had canceled and Its secretary had returned all deposits on conretsiona.

“Having knowledge of the fact that in Hat¬ tiesburg on October 6 the Sells-Floto Circus was compelled to pay State Revenue Agent Robertson $600 in addition to the nsual State, connty and city tax made ns unwilling to continne our route. This sum was claimed as tax on but two dsys’ operation of candy stands, etc., within the State.

“Cnder these existing conditions a conference was held by Mrs. Nat Reiss and her staff. Including Messrs. Lohmar, Miller, Beckwith, Hogan, the Velare Brothers and myself, at which time it was decided to cancel the Itinerary and go into winter quarters at Peoria, HI. This is a great financial loss to onr shows, for, after changing onr route to play these dates, we were compelled to close In the height of the season.

“The fair officials of Mississippi are greatly stressed over the unfortunate situation. Fnless some action is taken to correct this unfair law It win be Impossible for traveling amusement companies to play Mississippi. From all re¬ ports the State revenue agent, Mr, Robertson, is a high-class gentleman. Hts office Is an elective one and he^ la in duty bound to uphold and enforce the law". It Is a matter that is up to the citizens of the State to see that this unjust law Is revokad. All showmen should get busy at once ana aid In getting more fa¬ vorable legislation enacted.”

The more important port of big defense is os follows:

IN REGARD TO THE EVIDENCE OF MRS.

DODGE

In October, 1P19, 'Mr, Eamcs, who was then my

manager at Barre, Vt., told me that the building

containing the Bijou Theater in Morrlsrllle was

for sale. He aad 1 went to Morrisrille and

•pent the greater part of a day there with the

Emmonses, who owned the property. The hus¬

band and wife leemed to have been unable to

agree on tbc qnestion of sale; be wanted to sell

and she did not. He told me that he had talked

with Mr. Dodge, who bad a lease on the theater

until January. 1921, about buying the building

and that Dodge wasn't interested in buying. 1

left the Emmonses to fight out the question of

selling between them and went to see Mr. Dodge.

1 told him that I was negotiating to bny the

property from Emmons, and I told him that I

would like to buy him out, improve the place

and let him manage the theater, and I would

give him a salary to be agreed upon and 25 per

cent of the profits. The theater was in very

bad condition, and the furniture and picture

machine pretty nearly shot to pieces. It was my

Idea to remodel the front, enlarge the house by

building an addition on the rear, paint and clean

up. Install new motion picture macbioes and put

in new furniture, as Morrisville is a trading cen¬

ter for several thousand people, and entitled to

a decent theater. 'Dodge told me that he had

two small bonses In nearby towns which he ran

one or two nights a week. I told him that I

would not be interested In these places at all,

and have never even looked at them. He asked

a Urge bonus over fair value for the RIJon fur¬

niture and equipment, but I told him that I

would pay him a fair appralMl value (no par¬

ticular amount was stated) if be was interested

In my proposition. He told me that he thought

be probably would rather bold on to the theater

until the lease ran out, and run the smaller

bouses, but would advise me definitely later. I

left him and went to the Emmonses, and bus-

tMUd and wife were still arguing the matter

between them, I told them that I was going to 8t. Albans, and if my proposition, at made

to Mr. Emmons, was agreeable. I would want a

•bort-ttme option—30 days. I believe—and I

wrote out la longhand such an option, and left

It, with the understanding that If they decided

to sell, they would eign the option and mail it

to St. Albans that night. The next morning I

received the option by mall, and turned It over

to onr attorney to examine the title. We to/ik

title November. 1910, and I appointed Mr. Che¬

ney, of Morrisrille, as our agent, to collect

rents and look after the real estate. I have

never been to Morrtsvllle since, nor has any

representative of mine been there. As for offer¬

ing Mrs. Dodge 1700 for her property, as ahe

stated at the bearing, I never offered her $700,

or any snm, becanae I have never even met Mrs.

Dodge, or communicated with her, except once

in Pebmary, 1020.

In the latter part of February of this year T

had heard of the death of Mr. Dodge, and I

wrote the following letter:

February 28, 1920.

Mrs. rauline R. Dodge,

Moirlarllle, Vt. ■My Dear Mrs. Dodge—I have Just been ad¬

vised thru one of the film men, of the recent

death of your husband, and I take this op.

upon the character of film pro<luriions.

Opposition to any collective booking agencies,

formed for the purpose of controlUug the film

drama output of the producers, was also ex¬

pressed, such agenrles being held detriments!

to the selection of the best |irngram.

Protest was likewise filed against the preteat

five per cent film reatal tax imposed in addition

to other admission and general Federal taxes

charged to theater owners.

C. C. GrlSn, natkwal vice-president of the Mo¬

tion I'ictnre Theater tlwners of America, looms

ns a posMble meance to the beat interests of

the motion picture Industry, and the use of

Wall street capital to control the Industry was

discussed in detail by the film men.

According to Grlffln, "big buslnesa.” Wrongly

directed In the acquisition of motion picture

ocreena, could release a flood of political propa¬

ganda that would effectively direct the trend

of public opinion In the election of controlled

randldstes.

The convention closed Thursday evening with

a ball at Bcottiah Bite Aodltorlnm, attended by

leading movie stars, producers and film mag¬

nates.

PICTURES GETTING STALE The American director today excels in two big points: First—The

creation of atmosphere, and second—lighting effects. The continued hold of the American picture on the foreign market is to be accounted for largely on these two points of excellence.

In the matter of stories we are not only standing still, but we are actually going back. Deep are the ruts worn by the similarity of plots. Many of the scenarios are painfully reminiscent of the single reel era of productions. Almost all are cast in one of about five molds. There's nothing "big” in the stories; nothing from real life. Most directors breathe the artificial air of the studio—they can not see the great mines of dramatic material in the life that is going on about us—they lack common vision when their vocation really calls for a penetration like that of the X'Ray.

If there is no change for the better, if we continue to lack strength and originality in plots and in the treatment of plots, we will not only lose our foreign markets, even if the exchange again approximates the normal; we will also suffer from the competition of the foreign-made film.

The American director is in imminent danger of getting stale.

Is true of star is equally true of every other

Not the least remarkable thing about this

extraordinary picture la the fact that It wa.s

the war was a negligible factor in the produc¬

are artistic enough to be International.

THE CRITICAL X-RAY

This picture undoubtedly marks a new era In motion picture prcxliirtion in more ways than

one. It is the first motion picture I ever saw

In which the illusion of dimension Is creatfd

with absolute success. All thru the picture a

very high standard of photography Is m.aintalned.

However, this is but one of the minor excel¬

lences of the feature. It is indeed difficult to

measure and apportion the various points of

extraordinary merit with which this picture is

Messed, but perhaps the direction deserves first

mention. Never was a story told with such

fiTce and such directness. The Interest and

admiration of the spectator is aroused the very

moment the picture begins, and neve'r lags

thereafter even for a second. The fate of the

girl who has become infamous In history as tlio

Du Rarry marches with the grimness of a Greek

tragedy, hut never does she fall In commanding

some degree of sympathy In the heart of tlie

beholders. The acting of the star, Pola Negri,

reveals the presence on the screen of an his¬

trionic force, comporable to the best there Is

anywhere. I would bo at a loss to mention

the name of any screen actress who could take

this part and render such a finished perform¬

ance. Du Barry comes upon the screen gay,

light-hearted, flirtatious and perhaps a hit

hard hearted. She ends a broken woman, trem¬

bling in the shadow of the gibbet. Tletween

these two states she has tasted the power of

the throne and has emptied the eup of pleasure

to the dregs. Having seen I.eslle Carter In

the part of Du Barry at the Criterion many

years ago, I do not hesitate to aay that the

more human and more convincing artist of the

two la this little woman In '‘Passion.’' She

portraya every shade of feeling with consum-

her vicious younger brother has cast a slur on

her fidelity. Regretting his hasty action he

writes, but the letter does n-u reach her la

time, as she goes East, where her child is Is'rn.

A Jewish couple keep a geneial store, and grub¬

stake a prospector, for wh’ch they receive the

rights to a claim supiioscd to be worthless. It

proves to be a bonanza, and their riches bring

happiness. The wife returns with her child

and the miner Is brought back by the faithful

friend of the wife, with good cheer for every¬ body.

THE CRITICAL X-RAY

Fate and the elements play conspicuous parts

in the unfolding of this colorful story, which is

finely presented with a selected cast. A'era

Gordon has a part which suits her motbeily

methods, and William 11. Strauss, as the genial

Hebrew husband. Is a close second In furnish¬

ing laughter, which la aptly told in sub-titles.

The Juvenile members of the supjwrting cast

are somewhat overdressed for such a climate,

but have little connection with the main story.

Tom Santschl, as Roger, the miner, gave one

of his virile performances. The story holds In¬

terest, but little or no suspense, depend'ng

mostly upon characterization and the grandeur

of snow-oovereil hills, thru which a dog team

wends Its way. to supply dramatic action. A

blizzard, raging fiercely, is also cleverly con¬

veyed on the silver sheet. Those who admire

rugged tales of the frozen country will find

this picture free from the rmgh atmosphere of

dance halls, scarlet women and brawling mbn—

for which we offer many thanks.

joy the feature every minute. The lighting.

THE STORY IN SKELETON FORM

Bruce, Bohemian bachelor-artist, living in lux¬ urious studio apartments, surrounded by half¬

nude models, is tlie pet of women, old and young. He treats them nil lightly, even his former

sweethe.irt, Bunny, a widow of doubtful repute.

At a bouse party he meets Audrey Winston, the daughter <if a retired caapltaliat, and her youth¬ ful fancy is attracted by hia finesse and subtle

tongue. Bunny follows him to Millstream, where

Jolin Winston urges her to accept his hand. When she learns that Audery is engaged to

Bruce, she accepts the father for spite. Audrey

is thrown from her horse and badly injured.

To please her, Bruce declares a love he does not feel. Ijiter she learns of his pretense and

breaks their engagement. Bunny, still madly in love with the artist, follows him. after de¬

claring her deception to her aged husbacd.

Father and daughter console each other, while

Bruce discards Bunny and Immediately tele¬ phones one of his many affinities—or an ‘‘Occa¬ sionally Yours.”

THE CRITICAL X-RAT

The sly innuendos which creep in the many

scintillating subtitles will be readily understood

by the sophisticated theatergoer, but only the

colorful scenes and brilliant detoD 'arrangement of trifling things will appeal and please the or¬

dinary individual. It Is rather a dangerous theme, showing the laxity of morals and the

male type of heartless flirt, which fortunately are rare even on the screen. Polished and

debonair, this experienced actor. Lew Cody, is fitted by nature for Just such characterixations.

That he attracts and holds attention by reasoo

of his deep compre4ien8ion of the part enacted does not lessen the sinister Influence such a callous villain will have upon the adolescent—for inno¬

cence is attracted more by m.agnetic personality than by the homely hero, no matter how noble he may be. As an example of screen art the

picture is superbly handled, lighted and directed.

Tliere is also a genuine tlirill when the heroine Is thrown from a friglitencd horse. The camera

conveys a number of charming garden scenes and indoor effer-ta.

Jliss Elinor Fair portrayed th* heroine with remarkably fidelity. Betty Blythe rose to the

demands of Mrs. Winston, looking regal as usual; J. Barney Sherry, distinguished and com¬

petent ns the capit.ilist. while Alec Francis added a bit of realistic acting, bis work always

winning recognition no matter bow inferior the role. A Boston hull pup supplied a note of

humor, wliich made an unusual finale to the story, wliich in less c.np.Tble hands than those

herein mentioned would have failed of Its pur¬ pose to please.

The Famout Players acquired a financial In¬

purchased of them the three tbeeters which

they owned in New England, namely, the Bialto

ter, at Quincy, Mass., and the Strand Theater,

Into by me until I felt forced to do so to pn-

tect my New Engl.and Theater holdings as a

result of the activities of the First National

organization, which I recently very fully dii-

cuased in the trade papers and which is easy

to corroborate,

1 believe that the future of the motion pic- tnre business depends largely upon the im¬

provement of the theaters and the presenta¬

tion of plctnres in the smaller cities and towns

(as well as the larger places). Inasmuch as tX)

per cent of the population of the United States

Is so centered. Unless the exhibitors in the

smaller places, many of whom monopolize the

amusement business in their respective places,

are fsrseelng enough to Improve their local

conditions by eliminating the so<aIIed unsani¬

tary ■•ictiire theaters, well known to the trade

as “dumps” and fire traps, and remodel them

Into or build modem, sanitary theaters In keep¬

ing with the Imal cv.mmnnlty, with proper pro¬

jection, equipment end furnishings, and show¬

ing recent Instead of releases a year or more

old. making this progress either by themselves

or thm co-operatloa with an organisation like

ourselves, the future of the Industry will he

greatly retarded, unless the Improvement comes

alwiut thru interests outside of the local com¬

munities. The public is entitled to and de¬

mands this change. 1 have always been and

the only way the waste In the Industry can

President; $22)0 ha? already been paid up on each $5 share and now they are making another call of $1.25 per share, thus giving much cause for criticism. Some disgnmt’ed folk called a private meeting and sueh was their temper they asked the dl- rec tors to retire from the meeting. The resig¬ nation of the managing director. C. F. Miglram. M. P.. six weeks ago. and the resignation of Gciald dll Maurier (earlier still) and of A. B. Roper. M. P.. and W. nutrlilnson < following Iligham) from the bivard of directors, has cniised great comment. Illgh.im says he retirtd from personal motives and that the Alliance should Dot be adversely criticised, and that It is absurd to expect immediate results lie says that It's no use merely rushing n film out and on'y making $10,600 on It. He offers many excuses for their want of progress. They couldn’t build their own studio* on the Ilarri'W Wesid est.vle beeaiise of the hiiilding restric¬ tions. Then when they got bold ot the studios of the old Ixvndon Film Coris'ratlon at St. Mar¬ garet's thev found they had to extend their lighting, and there w.i* further delay in getting this done. In the end they had to send a man ipeclally to America to expeitlte matters, and when he had got that straight the shipping de¬

lays further complicate! things. All these things have combineil to retard progress and until we have something to sell It Is obvious that their sales-ollioe must be Idle. Some of the criticisms have been the payment of a salary of $1,000 weekly to the production mana¬ ger, and $2.')0 weekly to the oainera manager. Higbnm won’t wear this <Titici>m and laughs at this kind of talk. ''If.” says he. “we are going to compete with Amerlran films we most have the best of everythin#—brains, men and material. A ?alary of $.’)0,000 a year for a general production director, with experience, is cheap, and in an American atndio there would be ten camera men at $2.’>0 weekly.

Aud that's tbat, as we say iu the yernacular.

STOLL’S “DOMESDAT” BOOK

An Idealist In many things. Sir Oswald Stoll certainly^ i» leaving no stone ooturned to make the E. N. I. C. a auceess. It is his ambition to moke the E. N. I. C. a cure for all the Ills of the eniertuinment world, but slow. Indeed, la the way of getting anything done. HU am¬ bition is to have a national standardlsatioa ot conditions for the whole of England and Wales, and a like one for Scotland, and to this end bo spent a lot of time at the last full meeting ot the Council in pressing home a well-constdere4 resolution for the making of a modern “Domeo- day’’ book of the entertainment world in Great Britain. He wants all theaters, vaoderille and cinemas graded, both as to Importance, bolding capacity and the nature and class of entertain¬ ments. Then he wants schedules made out as to the nature of those employed in these houses, the hours worked, the hours off and the saalTles paid for the working iMiurs. He wants every¬ thing and everybody docketed and tabbed and pigeonholed. Having gotten all this data, he then hopes that a national program will be adopted by everybody as to wages and condi¬ tions, and tbat it shall be operative aheolntely. Percy Broadbead, one of the Wise Men of the North land really be is a wise man), more la sorrow than in anger, while appreciating Stoll’s pifieilream, plaintively queried as to when sec¬ tional bargaining and awards would cease. He suggested that the many claims put in by vari¬ ous districts from the A. M. U. should be waived until Stoll’s Idea bad matured, and then make the national agreement. But the labor section would not agree to such procrastination of their claims. Cannon, of the N. A. T. B., explaining th.at already their hearing of claims was six months overdue, and it required all bla powers to prevent an open rnptum In ScotlSalL Williams insisted tlmt be was powetleaa aa! tbat bis position at secretary of the B. N. 1. C. had already cost him much suspldon a.'BOBg tbs extremists in his unJou, and their claims wont! brook DO further delay. In all of these squab- ble?, arguments and recrimioationa the V, A. F. Section were bnt passive epectators, watcblsg, listening and learning much. Tbs V. A. P. seems to be the only section giving the Couseil the least cause of trouble. The labor side, as represented by the musicians and stage em¬ ployees. look upon all this talk of national set¬ tlements as a subtle move on the managerial part to delay matters. Eventtully it was te¬ dded to adopt the reaolntlon to supply this “nosey-parker” stuff, bnt God knows how asd when the thing will be completed, and, whes the returns are sent in, who will collate them. In the meantime the Conciliation Board, as rs- gards the A. M. U. and the N. A. T. E., is working overtime, and poor Percy Broadbead is complaining of the additional neceseity of thirty- six extra working days a year In traveling up to town from Manchester on this very precious business of “wasting time.”

J. B. FAGAN REDECORATING THE COURT THEATER I

The back end of October will be the earlleat date for Fagan to reopen this theater in Sloans Square, the reason for delay being that altera¬ tions, decorations and repairs now in progress will not be completed till then. Fagan la trans¬ forming the auditorium into one of the mMt original and attractive in London—this per his publicity man. Altho this will slightly diminish the seating capacity, the spectator will he muck more comfortable than heretofore. Tbs color ocheme is subdued golden brown, and a wev^ system of lighting is being Introduced, the effect of which will be as of sunlight streaming thrw lofty windows into the building. Not a singls lamp will be visible tbmout the theater. Fagan'S original intention wws to start with a rcvlvU of the ’’Merry Wives of Windsor,’* but he has DOW decided to open with “A Midsummer Night's Dream.”

J. E. VEDRENNE GETS “THE CIRCXE” FROM SOMERSET MAUOHAN

Altbo fortune did not favor Vedrenne at tbs Little Theater, tliat fart has not put him out of business. Since then he has been elected the rh.tirman of the West End Manogers' Associa¬ tion and now be has obtained the performing rights of a new three-act comedy with the above title from the author of the much press dis¬ cussed play, “The Unknown.” Vedrenne is at present watching the outcome of the present iaiior agitatkiD, and no doubt be remembers the tienchant saying of J. H. Thomas, M. P., at the Portsmouth Congress tbat "We shall either lie on file rocks or off them at the end of the nest six moutbs.” So mote It be.

Secure Fine Street Location in Kansas City

'Kansas City, Oct. 16.—The Rusaell Brothers. Jim and John, brought their thirty-car carniTal shows to Kans.ss City for the week of October 11 and this was about the biggest thing erer “pulled off" in K. f. This show, carrying or¬ dinarily sixty or seventy concessioDB. had 80 many appllratMns for space that there were estimated to be two hundred concessions on the streets. The location cK'cupied four city blocks, from 14th to ISth, on Beltimore avenue, one of the traffic arteries of the city, as It la broad and free of car tracks and but recently re¬ paved. It required a special ordinance to obtain this grant. This engagement was under the direction of the Building Trades Council and was for crippled, diseased and disabled members of this organization, and Building Union men were at every ticket booth, and in general superintendence over the b.g festival. The show arrived Monday afternoon, too late for the open¬ ing that night, wb'ch was postponed until Tues¬ day night at six o'clock.

■The staff includes James J. Bussell and John A. Bussell, owners and managers; Dan Mac- GeegJn, treasurer; E. A. Warren and A., E. Bent¬ ley, agents; Tex Brigbtman, lot superintendent. There are four rides: Merry-go-round, whip, aerial swing and ferria wheel.

I’rofesaor Tripiy's Jiingleland, with Mrs. Sage, directing; “Mummy." managed by Victor Lee, and the Fun factory. Of the concessions tjiere seemed to be even more than 200, consisting of blankets, candy, dolls, groceries, pr>viBion8, chickens, etc. All were doing a thriving busi¬ ness. W. J. Torrens, of the Torrens United Shows, put in the week here with the Bussell Bros.’ Shows, pending a call tiv West Virginia. Leo Lippa, formerly agent of T<^rens’ United, is now playing fairs, etc., and will stay out until Thanksgiving.

orate scale and to that successful conclnsloo be liiuieelf would have done.

Mr. Hathaway has decided to first complete the F^y-Away, the illusion ride Mr. Thompson wiCs building when taken ill. At that time con- sidereble secrecy shrouded this novelty, tbo It has eince been learned that every feature was fully protected by both domestic and foreign patent?. A few favored showmen. Including Sam C. Haller, Col. \Vm. F'. Cj»dy and others, were admitted to the building where the ride was being constructed, and pronounced It un¬ reservedly the most decided thriller of the age. So perfectly was every detail planned and con¬ summated that all sense of illusion was lost, and one experienced only the sensations calcu¬ lated.

It is understood that the THy-Away was to have been tbe culmination of Thompson’s effort. Suffice it to say that tbe builder of tbe New York Hippodrome, the producer of its first spec¬ tacles, which set a new standard for that line of endeavor; the creator of Luna Park, tbe inventor of the Trip to tbe .Moon, the genius of Polly of the Circus. Via Wireless and other stage suc¬ cesses possessed a most keen insight es to the public’s amusement appetite, thus predicating the Fly-Away’s entering the entertainment field an assured success. Supplementing this Is Mr. Hathaway’s experience and reputation as a pur¬ veyor of pleasure and practical producer of de luxe amusements.

Mr. Hathaway is incorporating a company to hnild, sell and operate tbe ride, and will Install the ride as a permanent feature in parks, as well as put it out in portable form for carnival purposes. The Hathaway Co. will have general offices In New York, with a working model on exhibit. Tbe studio and factory will be lo¬ cated on Staten Island.

“THE MEANEST MAN IN THE WORLD*

"THE MEANEST MAN IN THE WORLD”—A

comedy In three acta, by Aogoatln MaeQngh.

Praaented by Ceorga M. Cobin at the Bod- son Theater, New York, October 12.

THE OAST—Bert Neih, Ralph SIpperly: Kitty Crockett, Ruth Donnelly; Andy Oatman, Howard Boulden; Richard Clarke, George M. Ooban; Ned Stephens, Norv*l Keedwell; Mrs. CUrke, Mrs. Alice Chapin; Nellie Clark. Leona Hogarth: Frederick Leggltt. Elwood F. Boatwlck; Henry Bllllngt, Peter RaymoDd; Carlton Childs, Leo Donnelly; Michael O'Brien, George W. (jitllahan: June Hndion. Marlon Coakley; Lute 'Boon, Ungli Cameron; Hiram Leeds, John T. Doyle; FYanklyn Fielding, Fletcher Harvey.

The flnt two acta of "The Meanest Man In

tbe World'* are rattling good entertainment.

Not so much can be said for tba third. It la

devoted to winding up affair* happily end con¬

sists mainly of sending the characters on their

way with e gag on their Ups.

Richard Clarke is a failure as a lawyer be¬

cause he Is softhearted aod aentlmental. Sent

to « small town to collect a hill, he flnde that

ho bee to gouge the money from a girl. She

owns some property containing oil, and Clarke

prevents her being aklnned out of It, gets all the

property owners in town to pool their intereets,

makes them all rich and weds the girl. Not

very novel stuff from which to <iake a play,

hut fall of flippant dialog, which gets leogh

after laugh.

George M. Coban plays CUrke, aad plays

him well. The part la just auited to him and

hie method. Ralph SIpperly coatrl'uuted a

splendid bit of playing as tbe lawyci'a assistaat.

Rath Donnelly, as a stenographer, waa very

nstnral, and Marlon Coakley, la a part that

did not give her much opportunity, made all

that was possible of it. Hugh Cameron got

plenty of laughs ont of an eccentric comedy

role, and Leo Donnelly, as a bardueaded busi¬

ness man, played convincingly. Joh.i T. Doyle

had • character bit which he made etao.1 out.

as did Howard Boulden In fact, the eouw la

splendidly cast, all doing their work well. It

la the playing that makes the show rather the*

the reverse.

“The Meanest Men ia the World" U Intended

for laughing purp<>ses, and In that eucceede admirably. Aa drama It Is almost innoceit of

any clash of emotions. There is plenty of talk

In It, much of it “gagging.” but It Is clean, entertaining and generally amusing. As long

as Mr. Coban remains in it It will be succeatful

beyond much doubt.—GORDON WHYTE.

EXCERPTS FROM THE NEW YORK DAILIEH

Times; “There it neither illusion nor pretense

—it alms to be merely a good show, and I*.”

Tribune: “The play displays many Cohaneaque

touches, with bright dialog and humor of altu-

atlon In the first and second acti."

Post: "Pitched in the racy American Idiom, crisp with slang and epigram, rolling np a

situation not by any means new, hut abounding

In suspense for all that, the play la capital

entertainment." Mail: “.A nice little hokum comedy, such aa

most play goers love, and which makes ao pre¬

tense of being anything else."

who elect to make their permanent address in care of The Billboard may, of course, choose any of our branch offices, i. e., New York, Chicago, St. Louis or San Francisco, but are advised, if they are en route, to consider the home office carefully.

CINCINNATI IS BUT THIRTY-ONE MILES FROM THE GEOGRAPHICAL CENTER OF POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA, and it fol- Iowa naturally that less delay will ensue in the handling and forwarding of your mail.

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

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

LETTERS ARE HELD THIRTY DAYS ONLY, after which, if no address has been obtained, they are sent to the Dead Letter Office, it is desirable to write for mail when your name FIRST appears in the list. Address your postal to “Mail Forwarding Service, The Billboard."

The ground ^ace formerly devoted ta the midway sactloa proved taadeqaate to house all the attractloas of the ibow. but Secretary A. U. George came to the aid of tbs organlaatlaB ABd converted a section of the aatomobile parking groanda luto a aacond midway.

On Tnuaday the World at ilame Shoara reg¬ istered a aew auuk for midway receipts, sad according ko the officials of the fair more people Ttsited ^ midway aectloa than a great many Merldlaa folka can remember.

Goremor Lee M. Rasaell and ataff arrived on Wedacaday, and were eseorted tlira the m'dway by IL B. Celden, general repreoentattye of the I^lack Eatcrprlaea, and the writer. Tbe Gov¬ ernor was Indeed enthuied with thla Mnd of ea- tertalameot, and repeatedly applaadad tbe ta- dividual preseatatioaa ia the ysrioiia attraa- ttons.

Cbarlea Hawaon launclied a Plaatatiae Gbow at the openiag of the fair with a tu-plece colored Jau band aad aotoe twelve eatertalacrs.

Dirk Wayne, of circus fame, baa added two platform-attractlonR to tbe Uaeup, and W. B. EvaB«'.*‘Seap)aaes'' have added great strength to the varMy of rides.

-BILL- FLEMING IN CINCY

W. C. (Bill) Plemlng, the energetic general repreaentattve of tbe Greater Fhmley Shows, waa a Cincinnati visitor and spent a coaple honia at TTte BlUboard officea October 2L

Mr. Fleming's mittlon on thi* trip, whMi in- chides neveral prominent cities, was principally to secore neceoaary data toward tbe final de¬ cision of Manager John Sbeesley as to wbrra he woald winter his organiutton. Also to pick n city where locatkia and conditions wonld be sat- lefactory for again establlahlng tho Sbeealey Zoo this vrinter.

In commenting on tbe curtant toar of fha ahoara Mr. Plemlag atated tkat It bat been n very prooperont one, and many of tbe atanda played will be lapeatert neat aeason. From hia conversation we gathered that tbe management will la all probahUity make a Isng jump north¬ ward to winter Goartera from the abow'a laat ataad la Florida.
