SOUTHERN FAIRS' PROSPECTS GOOD

It hat been announced that the

Rice*Dorman Showa, at the dote of

the 1920 aeaaon, on November 20,

will be sold at a going enterpriee,

and if not eold will be auctioned,

piecemeal, on November 23. The

paraphernalia to be aold ia to con*

eitt of twenty*one cart, forty*one

wagons, four rides, and all tents,

fronts and lights belonging to the

organization. The shows play Chick*

asha. Ok., this week.

It is understood that the manage*

ment of the shows has tecured one

of the best circus titles and a com*

plete circus, which it will operate

next season.

In response to a wire to W« H.

Rice, asking for details of the deal,

he sent the following replyi ‘‘Ao*

count business reason can not give

details regarding show until later.'*

The fair season in the South is

just now getting into its stride, and

prospects are good for a record*

breaking year. Leading off the larger

Southern fairs, the Tennessee State

Fair at Nashville opened with 100

per cent greater attendance than on

the opening day last year, and the

record attendance held up thruout

the week.

From practically all of the State

and district fairs come reports that

every indication points to phenoai*

enal attendance. The reason is net

far to seek. Crops are fine, fao*

tdhies are busy, and, despite the oe*

casional cry of the pessimist, the

business outlook is encouraging.

For all of which showmen ere duly

thankful.

ABOUT AN OLD JOKE As the vaudeville and musical comedy season begins, it would be

well for the Amalgamated Order of Producers—or whatever It is these friends of art call themselves—to pass a resolution that shall read some¬ what as follows:

Resolved. That during the theatrical season of 1920-1921 and forever thereafter, jokes about prohibition shall be strictly prohibited in all pro¬ ductions under our control.

Such a rule will give the comedians a pain, but will delight th® pub¬ lic, of which some want something new to laugh at, while others regard prohibition as no laughing matter, and still others deem it rude to laugh at the dead.

No doubt comedy teams at present are busily engaged in dusting off and remodeling last season's oversupply of prohibition jokes, thinking the forgetful and generous public won't recognize them in their disguise.

But let them be assured in advance that during the coming season no prohibition joke will get more than one-half of one per cent of the laugh it got last year. On the contrary, loud applause is in store for the comedy team that on making its entrance gives its audience a solemn pledge that it will not attempt one prohibition Joke thruout the perform¬ ance. Such an act should be hailed in the program as "a novelty act of striking originality.”

Even the political platforms, which, according to some, are full of jokes and jokers, fail to say a thing about prohibition.—DES MOINES (lA.) EXCHANGE.

flnish was cannon ball Juggling.

IPALAC^ /l/^£RfC/l'S FOREMOST THFffTER DEmEDTOmOFUILLE

2:00“-Two Performances D&ily~£v«r\ir\^ 8j00

(Revietked Monday Matinee, September 27)

The weather was anything but propitious for indoor entertainment, hot

and sultry all thru tbe afternoon, with a slight, drizzling rain intermingling

with the sunshine.

According to the box-offlee time, the orerture was played at 2 o’clock,

before the lightest assemblage the writer has ever seen at this house, and it

was slow in filling.

During the Sylvester Schaffer act they still were coming in, and before

he was half thru many were standing. No progrrams, other than some

sheets informing the patrons that for the order of progrram they must see

stage carda and that next week’s attraction will be another epoch-making

program, presuming by this, we suppose, that this one was going to be a

“knockout,” as far as raDdeville is concerned. To this we cannot agree.

The headline act scored by reason of the popularity of its stars.

2:02—^Kinograms, to the music of Frederick F. Daab’s Orchestra, were

very badly edited, and showed many repeaters, among which was the ar¬

rival of Tom Burke, the Irish tenor, on the Carmania, accompanied by

Mrs. Burke. One of the features was scenes of the Elks' Carnival held in

Omaha, Neb., recently.

2:18—Monroe and Grant wheeled onto full stage their autotruck tram¬

poline bed. One is the driver and the other is the hel|>er, both in overalls.

They delivered the greatest bounding acrobatics yet seen at this house, but

for comedy they will have to make another trip. They got off in fine stylo

with a whirlwind routine, aimed at by many in this line, but only accom¬

plished by this team, which, from voice and gestures, is either English or

Australian.

2:20—In one appeared Jack Lexey and Celia O’Connor, opening with a

trial at song, followed by a dance. Both are guilty of not singing in ac¬

cord with their ability as dancers, which is exceptional in many instances.

They do a Chinese number, and flnish in a semi-eccentric acrobatic style, in

which tbe woman proves the better of the two. The house liked them, part¬

ly due to the fact that they worked and tried to please.

2:30—“Te Song Shop.” a conception of Pat Rooney’s. Full stage, special set and most attractive girls, seven in number, who were costumed appro¬ priate to the period in which they were called on to interpret the songs, “Past and Present." Warren Jackson and Harold Whaltn, two likeable chaps, sang and danced aa the scenes were revealed. This is one of last season’s offerings and was not new to this house. Tt scored a hit despite the fault of being a bit too long on view.

2:63—EXTRA ADDED ATTRACTION. Robert Emmett Keane walked out in front of a house drop attired In a business suit. He opened with a crackerjack comic ditty, told stories mostly about Englishmen, did a Scotch recitation, and finished with one of Kipling’s poems, wherein he gives advice thru a Sergeant-Major to his troops before going into battle. Mr. Keane has a style of delivery all his own, and it is not many minutes after his appear¬ ance that It Is apparent that a real entertainer is bidding for approval—tho at no time does he consciously approach this fact. He stopped the show In face of a husky voice which handicapped his efforts.

3:09—FEATL’HE EXTRAORDI.VARY—Sylvester Schaffer, the man who lived up to his billing as "The Protean Marvel." He held rapt atten¬ tion in one or full stage, as his versatility required. This artist does mag¬ nificent Juggling, lightning painting, acrobatics, violin playing, sharp¬ shooting, foot work, feats of horsemanship, while balancing, and heavy ob¬ ject manlpuLatlons. and In all proves himself a master showman. Each division of his artistry requires special settings akin to the production caliber. During his time on view he employed two male assistants, a charm¬ ing Miss, a deer, rabbits and three charging steeds groomed to perfection, with befitting trappings. H’ls closing feat of balancing a Roman chariot on his chin, vkhlle Juggling cannon balls, permitted him to exit almost ex¬ hausted, for It mum be borne in mind that he works every- minute on and off. If the powers so decide this offering can appear next week, and Syl¬ vester Schaffer will change his act, as he is fully equipped to do.

3:10—Intermission, with music of the “See-Saw” variety.

3:45—"Topics of the Day,’’ with a tune, got some laughs when the folk were seated.

3:30—Phil Raker walked on with his Itall.in piano-accordion in front of a most familiar drop. He ramped until all were seated, then he lit out with qulp.s, pl.iylng. kidding in his masterful style of showmanship. Ev¬ erything was his own. even to lotting the “Plant" in the box sing, which, in our opinion, does not belong in the same clamt with Phil Baker. Charley King was seated down front, and for the sake of oldtime shipmate sake sang “How’re You Going To Keep Them Down on the Farm." while he ac¬ companied with a silent orchestra. The performance was stopped here again

4:ia—ENG.VGEMEN’T DR I.T’XR, George Whiting and Sadie Burt and Comi'any played in one full set. “Little Miss Melody.’’ book and lyrics by Jack T alt and music from the pen and brain of Gus Edwards. This is a fantasy, which employs comnarisons between the relative merits of melody and jazz. Two male dancers that lean on the aerobatic for strength, and five attractively gowtK’d young Indies assist. Dialog and dialog, and more dialog, and then singing and singing and singing. Whiting and Burt are all there is to it. from the rise to the fall of the curtain. They scored on individual popularity and merit. i»ut not thru nnv ivirtlcular value of their vehicle. •

4 fi.V-EXTRA ADDED ATTRACTION. Joe Santley and Jack Norton oneneii singing to each other over a telephone Santley went to the piano and Norton started to sing This is their first Palace showing since reuniting. As s<mn ns thev work out proiierly there is no doubt that they will return to their former iHipularlty In \’nudevllle.

Keith*8, Cincinnati (Serlawed Monday Matinee, Sept«ml>«r 87)

Bather nlny ontalde; fine bosinpas Inside; . .

very entertaininr and well-balanced bill.

Cbarlee Eing’s musical fantasy, "Love Lettcra,'*

with Clarence Nordstrom and Oua Sluneon and

coterie of artists, hold and unquestionably made

good in tbe honor position, about eomprises con-

densifled comment on the matinee at Keith's this afternoon, unless it be that sperial mention

should be made on the pleasing abundance of

very beautiful drape settings and wardrobe U8e<! In the sbow as a whole and the dittioulcy of

picking other special winners.

Klnograms on important topics. Including the explosloii In Wall street, followed tbe opening

©rertnre.

Barbette, with neat apparatus, grace and ■ensatlona, started tbe sbow on wire and com¬

bination rings and traps. Nthe mjnntes on full

•tage, and, on doffing the wig daring the second

bow, left many still guessing.

James P. Kelley and Emma Pollack, in their

billing of “VaudeTille, Past and Present,” went

over nicely, their individual and romblned ef¬

forts being well appreciated. Kelley's wheellng-

the-keg stunt stopped the act for a full minute.. Sixteen minutes, in one; two bows, encore; another bow,

"The Fall of Eve.” with Mabel Cameron. Alan Devitt and C. Carroll Clucaa. A nsat comedy playlet, presented in draped Interior, with refined humor intersfrersed with clerer

acting and commendable wardrobe. ScTenteen

aainntes, in three-fourths; four curtains.

Marion Weeks and Henri Barron, with special

drapes, introducing single and team operatic

selections, and the "Doll Song,’” from “Tales

of Hoffman,” by Miss Weeks. Each offering

registered. I'he program informed the patrons that Barron is formerly of the Chicago Grand

Opera Comffny, also that the coloratura ao- prano, Marion Weeks, bits “Q” above “C,”

which she did this afternoon in clear tones and

to the eminent satisfaction of the audience. In three; fifteen minutes; four bows.

•'Love Letters,” Charles King’s imique mn-i

sicil offering, with Clarence Nordstrom, aBsist>-<^

by Ono Munson, Kate Pullman, Emma NIclas, v

Maude Potter and May Gerald. An excellent ■ story, written around a mail carrier, who In-

hsrits great riches, and tbe various type of feminine “profferers” of their hand la marriage. The act is extrmordlnsry In quantity and quality

of scenic production, costuming and remarkable

singing and characterization. Tbe act opened

In one, then there are several full, special sets

used In the production, the subjects of which

are^ cleverly announced by "love letters”

thrown on a screea. In two, thereby eliminating

waits la their erection. The song and action

are in accordance with tbe characters presented.

All of the act did well, but Nordstrom, Miss

{Munson and Mias Pullman drew sperial notice.

The final ensemble was psrtlenlarly well cos¬

tumed. Forty-two minutes: one continuous. In¬

dividual bow, each recelvng a hearty hand on

appeirance, Nordstrom opening and closing the

acceptance.

Harry Breen went big. It remained for Harry

to put spirited pep in the ahow with bis “nnt-

tiness” and eztemporaneousness. He talked

"squirrel food,” acted It and owntsl up he

would stick at It until be—gets off the "nut.“

E:ghteen minutes, in one; two tows.

Iluliert H. Kinney and Corrinne danced and

kicked themselves into attentive Intereit and

favor in the closing number, and beld them In

until the finish. Both double and single en¬ deavor* received well-earned applause. Kin¬

ney's dance-kirk specialty acorrd, as did the

artistry and personality of Corrinne. Full

stage, with draiws; fourteen minutes; one cur¬

tain.—CHAS. BLC^

SPECTACLE CLOSES: MANAGER MISSING

walked out on Manager McKenzie, Strand Thea¬ ter, two weeka ago and their diaagreement it

■till unadjiiated. It ia reported that the union

would reijuire Mr. McKenzie to use a crew of

four back stage and an orrheatra of four, where

he baa been heretofore using two atuge men

and three muaiciana. Tbe additloual men, it

ia estimated, will cost tbe theater something

like $3,(XK) a yaar more, and Mr. McKenzie

contenda tbat bia bouse is not of tbe size to

warrant such a large crew. It wat at first

thought that the Strand would go orer to pic¬

tures, but tbe show people assured Mr. Mc¬

Kenzie tbat they would back him up, and have.

In fact, been working bit stage. Thia is to

keep bookings intact in this territory. Local

eympatby in this instance is with the

management. Tbe Strand ia a tab. bouse. The

old crew at the Lyric Theater were notified

by Manager Walsb that he would not contract

with them another year, and other bands are

working tbe bouse.

GUS SUN DENIES

Assertions in Regard to Salaries Paid Acts Playing Sun Theaters

Gas Son, bead of the Gus Sun Booking Ex« change, makes u Tigoruus denial of a<teertiuns

runtalned in an article in a recent issue of a

theatrical pajier, not The l!iIli>oard, regarding

the salaries that arc being paid act:» playing

Uic S'un bouses.

“It is asserted,” says Mr. Sun, “that In-

creared salaries are being latid to acts playing

the theaters served by the Gus Sun Booking

Kxebange since the raneelation by K. F. Alt>ee

of my booking contract with the B, F. Keith

oQlce. I do not wish to question the guc i faith

of the declarations, but 1 do assert that nothing

could be further removed from the fsi ,s.

“It is a known fact that the Gus Sun Book*

log Kxchange, ami the other so-called inde*

pendent eireuits, always have ami even at this

very time are paying less for acts than the

I'nili-d Time. I have in mind a stteciSc act

which haa Just finished the Gas Sun Circuit.

This net has Just opened on the Vnlteil for

gl<N) more than was i>aid l>y this oflire and has

been pH'mised a r<iute at $--V> more than paid

by the Gus Sun Circuit If the reitort is satis¬

factory. There are several other m ts which

also oc-cur to me which now are rcx-viMiig f.om

fltw to $1V» i>er week more than they were

paid on tlie Sun Circuit.

“The iMHiking managers of the various offices

of the Gus Sun (Ircutt arc all veterans of the

bu.<tDess with a fundamental knowle<1ge of the Milarirs of acts and vaudeville profession In

detail and in general e<|ualing any showmen In

Ameriea. No agent of this clrruit books an

act blindfolded, or signs a contract with his

•yet closed. These men are constantly on the

alert to guard against any manner of deception

as to the quality or the salary of acts and In

every other way to t>roteet the interests of the

clients of this org.iniiatlon. Furtheiniore their

facilities for obtaining information os to acts,

salaries, etc., and their records are Just as

comprehensive^ and complete as any orginlzatlon

in the Vniteti States. The truth is that Gus

Sun h<«.kirg n-an:igers are dealing only with

those agents known by them to be above sus-

plcb n of sharri practice. Even the roost casual

invtrtigsfion will dlvlosc that this office Is oh-

tainir.g letter aits at less money than ever be*

fore In its history.

“Within the last week twelve new cities

have been added to the Gus f^un Circuit. This

fact alone should be •nfficlent to convince any*

one that neither agents nor acts are “taking

advantage of Gus Pun.”

A tentative title for the pi.-ee haa iM-en ae-

The play dealt with the regeneration of a

woman and la written In the style of modern romantic melodrama. Miss Freeman will ap¬

MELODRAMA

Holds Stags at Shubert’s, Milwaukee

Milwaukee, Wla., Sept. 27.—“Dawn o’ the

Mountains,” a play of the Tennessee Moun¬ tains and the quaint people who inhabit them,

la this week's otTering by the Shubert Tlayert.

In spite of Its eztrt-me length and rather tbop-

worn plot. It la wholly pleating and aflordt

some of the company an opportunity to do

seme splendid acting.

Aa the little mountain girl Frances McHenry

Is excellent. It Is totally unlike anything we

have ever seen her play and she seemed to aetually live the part. Second only to Miss

McHenry was the playing of Durk McNair by

Oscar O'Shea. His characterization of the

rugged old mountaineer was a work of art. Helen Empton. as the boy. was very g"<>d

indeed. This little lady has shown much versa¬

tility of late and is becoming a warm favorite. In the part of a most “villainous villain.”

John Marston worked hard and vas rewarded by being most thoroly despised. James Itlaine,

aa the “city ohap,” and .Terome Tlenner, as

hit friend, were pleasing, and Alice Mason,

Bert Brown and Earl Jamison were most ac¬

ceptable In their respective parts.

In eplte of the remarkably warm weather for

this time of the year bnsiness Is very gO"d,

proving that melodrama, properly played, is

as acceptable today as tt was in the days of

our fathers. “39 East’’ next week.—H. R.

not likely to be gladdened by an early adoption

of bis views a.s to exterminating the species.

In fact, the field of the press agent seems to

he becoming broader every day. And whether

he be known by the title of press agent, pub¬

Charlotte, N. C., Sept. 22.—Thomas Dixon's

“U’e,” a drauialization of the life of ItoWoit

E. l.ee, military genius of the Confederate

army, was presented at the City Auditorium

Friday night, September 17, and was well re*

ceived. The local press was enthusiastic in Its praise of the play.

“Thomas Dixon may have gained more finan* cial returns from his novels that he will thru

his ‘Lee’,” says The Charlotte News, “but

for the discriminating student of ]ii>i..iy Jir.

Mxon has built a drama that for charm and

beauty, for satisfaction and relic tion, has n it

been excelled in American literature.’’

Speaking of the cast. The News says:

“The cast i.s all that could be wished for.

Tbe shafts of comedy shot thru the four arts

here and there, the delKinalr air of General

f'tuart as contrasted with the serious demeanor

of General Lee at all times, the tem^>eramental

Ceneral Alexander and other characters stand

out is masterly preseutatb a.

“.\ugustln Duncan plays the nde of I.ee with

remarkable precision, while C. Alexander serves

as his butler and carries a I'art which is wholly

pleasing. Enid Gray does the part of Mrs.

I.ee well, and U. D. Blaekemore makes tt strong

appeal as the Virginia planter who favors slavery. Lyons Wickland makes a g'vtd typo

for General John B. Gordon. Edward Quinn, as

Sid. the negro stable hoy, does much to help

In the comedy parts. Dtivld A. I.eonard serves

well as General .Alexander until he comes to

the final scene. In which he is entirely too

dramatic.’’

NEW PLAYS “THE GUEST OF HONOR”

“THE GITIST OF HONOR”—A comedy In three

acta by William Hodge. Presented by Lee

Shubert at the Broadhurst Theater, New

York, September 20.

THE CAST—Jack Weatherbee. Graham Lucas; YIrs Muiiy, Jonnie l-amout; Mr Warner, W m. H. Thompson; Laundry Boy, Howard Morgan; Mr. Wartle. Eilw.ird O'Counor; John Weather- bee, William Hixlge; Robert Thisby, Harold Heaton; Rosamond Kent, Helen Wolcott; lone Ciirli:* Miriam .McCauley; Helen Kent, Alice r.il. keV; Mr I.es dr. Louia Barclay; Mr. Kent. Ki.xl. iic de Belleville; .Mrs Kent. .Ann Warring- Ion, llutler, Lee I’lank; T"m. John N. Wheeler.

In territory outside New Tork William

Hodge has been playing “The Guest of Honor”

for some time .And report has it that he haa

been irost successful with it. There seems to

be Illlle chance that It will be a New York

hit. The play Is wearisome and the company

generally mediocre.

The pl.iy tills of a penniless author’s love

of nn ad»l>led S"n, the disiovery that the boy

Is her sister’s s^m by a lich girl, who comes

to fell the author of a literary prize he has

won, how the girl ki lnaps the kid and how the

author gets five bundled dollars advance ri'y-

alty for a lsH>k, gets bis suit out of hock and

gels Ndh the boy aii'l the girl for himself.

William Hodge plays the nuth T. That he has

a peisonalliy i* iiiideiiiable, but he reads mon<'t-

onoiiely and has a very had habit of speaking

with his eyes closij. The piny Is an bale In

structure, full of h.andofirved platitudes an^l baiting In action. Were Mr. Hixlge ten times

the a' tor he Is he could not make It interesting.

As it is he stildea thru the piece with all the

self-assurance in the world and will probably

take to the road again and coin money, not-

vv Itb-landlng what New York thinks of him and

his play. William H. Thompson tries hard to make Ms

part interesting srul partially succeeds; Freil-

crlc de Bellillle gels all out of Ms role that Is

possible; Graham Linas pl.i.vs the boy. and is n

very gixxl child actor; Helen Wolcott plays tbe

girl ind IS I II king In iiio-t of ibe iri|ul'i inents

necessary for gixxl acting Tlic rest of tbe com.

Ii.iny are Just about ns goixl as tbidr iinrts, and

that Is nothing to brag a’xiiit.

“The Guest of Honor” is below the average

of even a jxior New Y’ork production, ’fhere

“ANNA ASCENDS”

“ANN.A ASCENDST*—A drama in four acts by

Harry Chapman Ford. Presented by Wil¬

liam A. Brady at the Playhouse, New York, September 22.

THE C.AST—Howard Fisk (known as Gents), John Werner; Bunch Rt-rry, R.xl LaKoiiiie; A lea Sparkes. Edward Jlorse; John Steail. I’lilf Wor. mm; Reality Tanner Effingham Pmto: Henry Fisk, Frank H.ilih: William, Ward DeWoIf; Find Coury. Gust.-iie Rolland; Rizzo, S. K. Frieil; Bessie Fisk, Bctly .AMen; Nellie V.an Hoiisen, Gloria Artos: Mi«8 Rird, Helen Cromwell; .Anna Ayvobb (later known as Anna Adams), Alice Brady.

If William A. Brady were able to pick p’.iys

ns well as his daughter can act them, .New York

theatergoers would now be witnessing a real

dr.amatic lieat. Alice Brady is a spleniliii

actress. She knows her business and plays con¬

vincingly, but she deserves a play tliat will allow

ber to show her ability and not a make-beleie

play, vvbich in ad.Iition to being badly written

is Improbable and verv old-fashioned .

The story of the piece is of a Syrian girl,

who wh le working in a restaurant learns En^isti

and aspires to a higher place in society. She

slabs a m.in wlio tries to violate her, and be¬

lieving blm dead, biles wliile she works her¬

self into a giXHl position in t'oe bns-mess worM.

which she is a guest, gels her lover after he h.vs

lx I n convinced tli.it she has been leading an

inxixinf life instr.id of llic black past, which

the robber tries to hang on her.

M'xs Braily carries the show almost entircl.v

on her own shoulders. Nolxxly could do a;.y

more with the part tlinn slie d<x's. In fa, t she

•Iocs more with it than i would be belevi .l

jxasible. The only aid she receives is fio:n

IP d Lalbxiiic, who is e\i client as the villain,

nncl Gustavo Rolland as a Fyrian restiiur.int

keeper. Both of these players are splendid

nctors. p.irticularly Mr Ridland. The rest of

the cast are passable and that is all. John

YVanier, as tbe hero of the piei e, read Ms

New York, Sept. 24—Tliere »re certain things

Woman. In tlie liriit place, you will exi>eiieii<e Ibe usual didicully in seeing tlie star woik.

That was Jut't what happeue*! when we th*tuj{ht

it auviaabte to asKiniilute a little of “Knler,

Medame." at the liarrick Theater, to watih

CiWa Varesi. We MroUol jaunlil.y up to the

ticket window and exprc^sed a desire for t»o

giNid seats. Two seats, goal or bad. wcrvn't

to be had at any pi h e, it «‘enied. New York

had decided to see Just how, why and when

Madatne entered that night. The girl at the

ticket window said that New York bad been

just as curioug alxiut Madame's entries on every

week dsy night since the dsy of the opening,

August 10. We accepted the ultiniatiim and

st'Kid up daring the evening performance. First

on one foot and then on the other. And it was worth It. “Knler, Madame” is moving up In the Times &'quare district soon; and It will

probably tie Just •• hard to get seat!*.

Hut to return to the interview. We enjo.ved

^tilda Varesi and It was thought best to in-

.' terview her. Yesterday afternoon, after the

^ matinee, I invaded Gllda Varesl’s dressing

room. She is a charming woman, with pleas-

irg personality nod a mice that sort of faariDates yon. In fact, she ia altogether too

I harming. For we soon found that the had a

large followlog. .tnd they all followed the

trail to her dressing room.

"I have done tragedy all my life,’* began

MiSs Varesi, at her maid carefully put away

the wonderful Malson JaqueliD gowns, inclnd-

Ing the blsck and gold lounging robe.

“The sort of thing that appeals to me most-

is a dramatic elTort that is set with diamonds

of flashing laughter. Tlalf tears and half

laughter, I might aay. There is nothing more

Wonderful. I think, than real tragedy. It is

a state of mind and one Is on the stage to

express states of mind. Madame I.lsa Delia

so-called artistic temperament. But I have

Ilullman, as Arehimede, the chef in our piece,

d<K‘s, at the same time, wouldn't it be p<<>silile?

It wouldn't be iiiipos-ible, would it?”

And right here came a knock at Miiis Varesj s door. A trio of ladies bad made their appear¬

ance. Tlie.v Just wanted to exjiress their best

wisbr'S for the future of "Enter, Madamt”;

they had seen the sliow and they had enji yed

it Sll niiieh, and especially .Miss Varcsi's work,

and wouldn't she take lunch with them S'>me

of these days? .\nd following these vi-itors

came others, one a young m.arried couple, both

of whom are in a Broadway musical conu-d.v,

and they Just dropped around to say they h.nl

si-en the sliow, and, oh, how- they liked Miss

Varesl’s work. Miss Varesi gracefully ai knowl-

erlgcd the friendly wishes; we wailed patient¬

ly while New York troiiped up to her dressing

room to pay homage. Tinally there was a lull.

.New Y'ork liad seen the show and It had done

tlie iii-'st natural thing in the W T'd—expressed

ila appreciation direct to the star—for New

York iii-ists on iM-rsonnl visits in such cases—

and Uually Miss Varesi was again at lilierty

to dikiuss the stage.

The fact that n«vin Muir, who plays the

Iiarl of the son, J-din Fitzgerald, in the play,

rather underplays than overplays his part is

apparently to Miss V.sresl'g liking. That be

bears no resemblance to bis mother, the tem¬ pestuous Madame Robbia, is. to Miss Varesl’s

mind, a most slmere note In the pl.sy.

“■now many people.” she argues, “have fons

conservatism, and the whole thing is logically

tied together. These same queer Interlocking,

half-suppressed tendencies, such as are expresse-l

by Geiald Fitzgerald, are what help make our

lives complex—and worth living.'*

Miss Varesi admitted that she bad made

several former efforts to write a successful

Ingratitude of humanity to the actor is de¬

plorable. The audience that enjoys the work of

a great actor, and then, when the best of him is

gone, casts him aside fur the next favorite that

appears, is made up of the tame people that

visit an aviation meeting, filled with the sub¬

conscious hope that they will see a man kilbd;

and these people are probably reincarngijons of

tbe Romans, who turned their U’umtis down in

answer to tbe appeals of belpicss gladiat -rs. -V

man who adopts the stage as a profession gives

up, as a rule, mu<h greater opteirtunllies. The¬

atrical salaries sound fabuihua to 'aynien, but

in reality they are not. Consider any ordicary

instance of a “leading man" with a slaiMiird show: In contract figures, he is remuin-iateik

exorbitantly; but wbat of his eiiu-nses an,i the

outlays of bis trade? He piys extravagant,

yet necessary, bills for liv.ug, hotels. sleeiM-rs,

THE EQUITY SHOP

J. Marcua Keyet, of tha Chicago Branch of Equity, Diacutaea

Progress

Chicago, Sept. 22.—The Equity Shop la a

subject of growing intcreet to Chicago actors

at the present time. J. Marcua Keyea, of tha

Chicago ofllce of Equity, dlacuaaed tbe auhje t

with Tbe Billboard today,

“The expressions from Chicago actors are virtually unanimous in favor of tbe Equity

iShop,” said VIr. Keyea. “Tbe idea took fp>m

the start, so far as that la concerned, bnt it

has been cemented in a vroDderful whole of late.” ^

When FYank Glllmore. executive secretary,

was In Chicago recently a Billboard represen¬

tative was struck by the spootaneous lesponsw that followed in a meeting whore Mr. tldl-

more spoke on parasites. The speaker paid

bis respects to that element of actors who

"accepted everything and gave nothing to tbe

organizatloD.” He looked forward, hi' said,

to the time when tbe barnacles that live off of

the Equity structure will be removed. It was durng a talk on the Equity Shop that this sub- J'H-t came up.

"Ninety per cent of the managers siH-epti-d

tbe Equity Shop Idea four months ago when

it was first brought up,” said Mr. Keyes. “Now they are pra>-tlcally all for it. They

hare reas-'ns for this attitude. They feel that

they are already getting goi>d service out of

Equity and that the service will improve with

practice and usage, nut to mention the m.i-

turing of pleasant relations. They feel that

they already are getting Increased rlfleieiicy."

Mr. Keyes discussed some potent features of the pru|>uaed K'lUlty shop. “With E'luity shop

in action,” ha said, "no member of tbe K<iul'y will even rehearse with any imtsoo nut a lueiu-

her of tbe organization. There will b« no

chance for paraoitet to fatten on somebody else's work.”

•Vccording to Mr. Keyea plans are now being

matured by Equity headquarters in .N'ew York

fivr a referemlum on the Equity Shop. Tie

matter will soon bo pat before the Eijuity members.

LUNT LEARNS TO TOOT

Denver. Col.. Sept. '24 —I'ntll he resd the

manuscript of Booth Tarklagtoo's “Clarence.”

in which ha ia again essaying the leading role

this season, Alfred Lunt was no musician, had

out even an intention of being a musician'! But

the manuscript changed all that. He was to

be Clarence on the Ftage, and Clarence played

the piano, and, what was more awesome, tbe

saxophone. Mr. Tarklngtun was Insistent tbst

the pitying tbiold not be “faked." To anyone

who bat seen tbe comedy, the reason for this

is msnifesi. The saxophone incident cloaes

tbe aecond act, and nnleat tbe portrayer of the

title role is master of the instrument the

scene can not be played.

Mr. Lnnt, who knew abaalutely nothing aiiout

music, was In Denver on tour with “The

Country Cousin” wh'-n the nianuiM'ript i>o

"Clarence” reached him. He dei-lde'i forthwith

to begin with the ssxopbone. letting tbe piano

go nntll the fi'llowlng snmmer. He purchased

an instrument and engaged an elderly teacher,

who instructi-d him for tw<i imurs daily during

his Ptiy in Col'irado't capital. F'>r the next

two ninntht life was. he snya, “Juat one dimed

search f'>r a saxophone teacher after another."

The company played I'ne nlghf «tanda and

saxophone experts were few and Tar between,

but by untiring patience and untiring energy

the actor was ready by the final week of the

season to toot with surenera.

acbool orchestras as a source from which to

obtain material for the Chicago Symphony Or¬

chestra.

The Billboard was informed by Peter A.

Mortensen, superintendent of public acbools, to¬

day that the request of the Civic Music Associa¬

tion that student concerts held under its aut- ricea be conducted in high school andltorlums

was patsed on favorably by the Board of Educa¬

tion, pursuant to Mr. Mortensen's recommenna*

tlon to that effect.

Mr. Mortensen told The Billboard that there

is one qualifying clause. The concerts must

be held In connection with the community cen¬

ters. Otherwise, he said, the board could not have legally granted permission to any organiza¬

tion to use tbe school auditorinms where pay is

charged for admission. A nominal sum, Mr.

Mortensen said, will be charged for lights and

Janitor service following each concert. Other¬

wise, the Civic Music Association will receive

all returns from each entertainment.

The movement, should It be successful, will do

much to encourage musical culture in the city

of Chicago and will be a great thing for the

atndentf, the public and the Chicago Symphony

Orchestra. Mr. Stock hopes from these concerts

to find students who are worthy of a position

with hla orchestra. Appointment, however, will

not be easily won and the students will have

to prove their merit. Thru these concerts the Chicago public will

bo glren more and better music, and students

will have a further Incentive to their musical education, and the Civic Music Association

•hould be given great credit for the good work

accomplished thru Its efforts. Chicago, due to

the enterprise of this ©rganlxatlon. Is the only

city in this country In which a student body

little better than the average entertainment,

too. The music is lilting and harmonious, and

the scenic effects and general staging above

th' average.—E. B. O."

The above Is from The Kansas City Star of

September 14.

Could one want a better example of the

folly of “dirtying up" a show than this? ITere

Is a successful road attraction which Is so

dirty that even the case-hardened critics are

amazed. They protest. The house manager

5ironii.‘»es to have the show scrublied np, and

the critics return the next night to see that

he has kept his word. Truly a delightful ex-

jK-rlence for the company and the theater.

There are several other shows playing In

New York right now to which the same thing will happen when they go on tour If they are

not deod<’rlzod. Tills Is the sort of pulillcity

that does the stage harm. Is It any wonder

that many a theatergoer believes all the men

on the stage are coarse and all the women

frail when the ears of his women folk and

llmself are assailed with the phonographic

•utterances of an alleged comedian? (We say

“alleged fomedian’’ advisedly, for a real co¬

median does not have to resort to obscenity to

be funny.) Many actors soem to forget that

the playgoer continually associates the char¬

acter an actor plays on the stage with his

personal character off the boards. Tlii!* Isn’t so b.Kl. The shame tf It is that his nssoelate*

iave to share his evil reputation with blm.

A primitive sense of decency should prevent .an actor from sa.vlng things in a theater that

lie wouldn’t ray to a gathering of ladies and

gentlemen elsewhere.

>etors who resort to filth keep decent peopio

away from the theater and lower, the standing

of themselves and their pMfesslon in the eyes

©f the most important element of any com¬

munity. The actor has to stand for a lot of

things that he never does or says, hut he w-Ill

There seem to be only two vkayB to stop

the growing evils of the dirty comedian and

the dirty play. The managers. Judging by

their past records, won’t. The public and tbo

actors can. The on'y qucidion is, which will?

If the actor is wise he will be the one. The

self-resepcllng actor and actress will welcome

the day when filth is driven from the stage,

and the way to hasten that day is to give some

forcllde exproBslon to their desire. K con¬

certed movetnent of the acting pr-'fesslon in this

direction would lie welcomed by all decent playgoers and raise their estimate of the pro¬

fession Immeasurably. Certainly, this is bet¬

Hoetor Johnson told Pavld Garrick that he

Ifoctor, “has made you rich; and you have

made your profession respectable.” The time

‘‘Aphrodite” Certainly Set Some Paces According to the Auditorium

and more or less uticlas-ifieil spertacle m w

wild woman of the show world of the present

Atlantic City, Sept. 22.—Th'vse who witnesse,!.

at the Glebe Theater Monday night, the pre¬

miere of “The Rose Girl,’’ had recalled m st

pleasantly tbtir musical memories of that ex¬

quisite work by the same auihors—"The Royal

Vagabond"—for In “The Rose Girl" they had

set before them a cleverly ratitivatlng musical

novelty, full of French atmosphere, r-ses. per¬

fume, song and dancing, all so extranclngly in¬

terwoven that it did not really need the slight

story permeating the piece.

The first scene is laid In a romantic bit of

the French Riviera, where a young Marquis, dis¬

owned by his father, falls In love with a pretty

little rose maid, who in the course of events

discovers a perfume for each personality, .and

goes to Baris to escape the demonstrations of

her guardian and to demonstrate her work. Of

eourse, they are liter reunited and everything

turns out in the customary happy way: but

during the process it serves ns a iuckground for

some very ch.irmlng muric and dancing.

Little Mahle Withce, as Mlgam. the Rose

Girl, is excellently adapted for her part. Her

Voice, tho not so p-'werful, is charmingly sweet,

and she has a charming personality that made a

very agreeable impression.

HaMld Crane, as the Count; Flora Zabelle, as Nadine, the Russdsn; Roy Atwell, as Jelllcot;

R.sy Raym-'nd, as '’Ictor; Dorothy Mackaye, as

Fleurette; Josle Intropidi, as Mme. Donnay, lent

much humor to the piece. It was an exceptionally well-chosen cast, and

should prove a success.—E. EDMITNDS FOS-

TF.R.

“MAID TO LOVE”

Cincinnati newspapers commented favorably

on the musical piece, “Maid To Love," which

being made by the management to take tbo

show into Broadway in the near future. It !•

a cleverly arranged vehicle, with a good N»'k

and music, and with more detailed direeth.n

and a few changes in the cast, should make

gofvd. Robert Woolsey and Tem Lewis bear

the iiurdcn of the busiD>*ss. During the week

Raymond W. Beck, author of tho boo't, ami

Bercy 55’enrlch were on hand to offer sugg'stlons

and aid in smoothing out the rough spots.

ENGLISH SONG HITS

Of Other Days Recalled by Manchester Guardian

The Manchetter Gaardlan printed the follow¬

ing obserrations anent Knglikb popular song

bits in a recent Imue, tIz.:

“Millie Hylton'a death nmit reeite many

memories among playgoers wlio are in sight of

or doubling the Cape of Middle Age. Her flrst

Gaiety Theater appearance was in the bur-

losque ‘Mcnfe Crlsto, Jr.,’ and she was isst

seen on the London stage in ’Tilly of Rlooms-

bury.’ It was her singing of ‘The Howdy-

Powdy Boys’ that brought her to George Kd-

wardes’ notice, and that fact alone brings a

queer gush of recollections. The Barcbanalian

senes of tlie elghtlc were a«lonl«hlnply I'c'

Ucose. ‘The Rowdy-Dowdy Boya’ (one coold

iindcrAtand ‘Howdy,’ but 'Dowdy’—did the

young men then like to be ‘dowdy’1), ‘The I’.nr

Old. Rare Old. Rlcketty-Rocketty Crew.’ and

•Hi-tldde!y-bl-tl-tl‘—how they reek of strange

times when the well to-do youth was snp[>osed

to dream of “strolling round the town, kno<’k-

Ing people down.’ in short, lieeoming drunk and

disorderly, and finisliing the night in the po-

lioe aCitlon. The most striking of all these

was called “We .\re the Imperialistic Boys Out

on the Tlddely-hl’ (it re.illy was!), summing

np all the overfed, violent and mandlin spirit

of a Mg section of l/>ndon that expressed it¬

self hlstorlcslly on Mafeking Night. .Vow-

adays. however idiotic our poiiular songs, they

have not that tone. Harry Lauder praises drink’

not beeanso It makes people violent, but be¬

cause (he thinksi it makes people more affec¬

tionate to others and to tlie country they were

liorn in. or because it makes a ’meeserable

devil’ when he is sober very, very happy when

he Is not 8<iber. The only drinking tong of

recent times that took the town was calle«l

’.4notber Little Drink Wotildn’t Do Ts ,\ny Harm.’ How abje<'t that point of view would

have seemed to the ’Howdy-D<iwdy’ heroes of

the eighties! The young men of this genera¬

tion seem to have kept their violence for big¬

ger game.”

1 beg to advise Mr. Fiioger that the records St Cushing will show that at least another car¬ nival preceded the Frisco Shows at Ciiehing, I being there with the S. W. Brundage Shows, wrek of May 3 this year.

Why Is it that so much “bull** is written every week tiy some advance agents and pub¬ licity promoters for certain shows? I’eople In my line, that of haudling coneessiomt, are often bumped into a long Jump and a poor date, due to the uiiserupuloiis niethmts used by many agent* and imldioity promoters in making up their news Items for The Billboard.

You must pardon me. Mr. banger, for publicly railing your attention to this error of yours, but as 1 am a regular reader of The Billboard I take for granted tliut I have a right to have my say in ibis matter, t knowing full welt that you ore mistaken-and that the papers of Cush¬ ing. the rity otiloials, also the manager of the Brundage Shows, will tiaek me up in my as- •ertion.

TRIFLERS AND PUYWRIGHTS It la commonly auppoeqd that the French theatrical back aurpassea bia American col¬

league in technical dexterity apd in the tpecifle srnae of the theater. There waa a time, undoubtedly, when thia auppositiun squared with the facta. Today we have a dozen writers for the stage aa coldly and knowingly efficient at Kiatemaeckera and Bernstein themselvea. The difference between the two group* is one that concerns aubatance and not form, the ma- terlala and not the methods of playmaking. The Frenchman may distort and pervert the ItastloDf, the American avoids them. The former approechea a tingle situation from an hundred roads, the latter deea from It by as many. Thus toe one la apt to be monotonoua and violent, the other empty and trivial. A natural consequence of this contrast la that when a single French play comet to na In the midst of a throng of native products It seems far less ignoble and far cloaer to the central preoccupatlona of life than it really la.

The Immediate situation on our stage illustratea that contrast with a hard and brilliant light. Five new American plays surround a single French one. They are all Well enough built; each selects and sustains its note with sufficient skill; all are false and vacuoua to a degree that lifta the isolated French play into an unmerited luster and tuma Its brass to gold. Mr. Porter Emerson Browne’s ’’The Bad Man” IComedy Theater) doea, indeed, contain the human triangle of the French tradition. But the American bosom I* appeased by making the husband an unspeakable villain and having him promptly and conveniently killed. Similarly the figure of the Mexican bandit, acted with both massiveneas and grace by Holbrook Blinn, waa conceived in an ironic mood. A satire on the superman of melodrama wat attempted. But Mr. Browne took fright and let the action roar to an accustomed end. Mr. Belaaco gives a velvety pro¬ duction of ’’Call the Doctor” (Empire Theater! by Miss Jean Archibald, who haa a neat little gift for epigram. Her human situation, unhappily, omits the fundamental ele¬ ment! that must have created it and holds the soothing assurance that diiillualoned hudbanda can be turned into ardent ones by a display of silk hosiery and the noite of jazz. ’’Genlua and the Crowd” (George M. Cohan Theater) portrays the struggle of an Italian violin virtuoso of twenty-three to be ’’pure and clean,” and depends on a wilted pricturesquenesa flavored by speeches in the best atyle of the once popular Family Herald. Mitt Rida Johnson Young’s ’’Little Old Neve York” (Plymouth Theater! sketches the city of 1810 with the depth and imaginative grasp of a newspaper head¬ line and tells the story of a romantic inberitanee and an Irish lass masqueratllng as a boy. The audience dutifully laughs at the distrust with which Cornelius Vinderbllt regards John Jacob Astor’a speculations in the marsh lands around Oramercy Pond, and la quite properly pleased by the pale, quaint sweetness of Mis* (Jenevieve Tobin In trousers and an Eton Jacket. A final depth la reached by Mr. Booth Tarkington in ’•Poldekln” (Park Tbeaterl. Thia play, calcnlated to save America from the fury of the Reda, neatly rombines—granting its own initial attitude and purpose—the economies of a boardlng-rchool miss, the intellectual grasp and detachment of a baseball ’’fan,” and the patriotism of a Polyanna. No respert.nble man of letters on the Continent would I)ermlt himself to sink to a comparable depth of fatuity. He might be ■peelnas; he would not be ’’glad.” He might display the rancor of a man, not the feeble petnlanee of an iU-bred child. It it characteristic of our theater that so able an actor at George Arllsa conaenta to take the title role in this play and in the midst of Ite dreary im¬ becilities gives a performance of delicately apiritual iridescence and admirably silken atiength and glow.

From these productions yon go to see ‘‘The Woman of Bronze” (Frazee Theater), by Henri Kiatemaeckers, and you cannot avoid the impreaaion that you have paw*>'d from wax-work cabinets to a room filled with people, from the glitter of spangles into the annilght and the dusk of earth, from the chatter of cheap pretenses to the Tlrlsaltudes that itlr our hearts. Not that Klstemaeckers is a good dramatlit or hit play a good play. It 1* hectio. strained, theatrical. But these American nlawTrights have not.

Tbote wbo have seen both produetiona attribute thia fact to the peraonallty of Eileen Huban and ber eon- cepHon of the prinelpal role.

T. F. D.—There are two waya of selling a compoiition. either outright or on a royalty basis. Before submitting your msnuaeript to a publisbiog bouse see that It is in legible form. In a great many rates the publltber feel* justified in releeting a composition re¬ ceived otherwise. Ye* The merits of the composition and the probability of its being a salable number rests entirely with the pub¬ lisher. Further data on tbit matter can be obtained by eommunicating with an; music publishing concern.

Father K. J. Watt, of England, talked on

the theme of "Winning the Peace.” He has

a fairly good delivery, a forceful w.iy of put¬

ting bis message over. lie has good abowman-

ship.

His message to .\mcrlca is of very doubtful value, for he diliiies the gosjiel of love with

such insidious iu\ilations to Inzutleggers and

home brewers tiiat iie sinks into the class of

vaudeville and r.iliari't iiunsterg who appeal t»

anarchy, disloyally and the lowest form of

conviviality fur a little disgustingly cheap

applause. His cork screw gag is worn out in

the slx-a-day houses ;ind has uu place on the

platform.

Prohibition Is a part of our fundamental law

in the United Slates, and such appeals as the

reverend makes aic noiilier guu<l morals or gotw)

Amoriemiam, and. as we have repeatedly

rai'pod tlio vaudeville acts for stooping to tbls

low back-alley slu.sh, we feel that to be «on-

ststent we should hand out the same criticism

even to the anointed.

His message of love should be too high and

holy to mix it with humor of such questionable

type. He should use clean humor, wholesome

fun and uidifting sentiment. We are certain

that our Englt-h brother could learn a lot In

good taste, good .Vmericanism and even better

showmanship if he were to study Ada Ward’s

manner and message and read Ralph Bingham's

IMiper on the province of humor.

If our British brother wants to make war on

prohibition be should do so in a legitimate

way. There Is a place for this. He should

light as Clarence Harrow does—out In the open.

When you go to hear Harrow you know you

will hear a sincere discussion of a great

problem.

Sir Auckland Geddes, the British Ambassador

to the United States, h.is Just said; "Prohibi¬

tion has attracted the attention of the govern¬

ments of the world. This problem Is too seri¬

ous to be treated as a relic of the barro<vm days

when men discussed even salv.ntion in pro{>or-

tlon to the booze they guzzled.”

In Amerb .i people are w.iking up to the fact

that breaking of the law at one point is like

the leak in (lie dike, which, if not stopped,

quickly suceps away the whole structure, and

■11 people are engulfed in lawlessness. The Ringling Br'«s.-Barnam A Bailey Combined:

MORE I. L. C. A. CONVENTION

Issue at stake in sustaining the eighteenth

amendment is more vital than the wot and dry

Issue. It is a quostion of maintaining the foundations of government. Those who en¬

courage violation of law, whether they be pub¬

lic officials, private citizens, priests or atheists,

have no right to complain when the anarchist

throws his bomb or the so-called Bolshevist

burls a brick thru the window.

The talk given by Secretary of War Newton

D. Baker, wIki was sent there to represent the

National Democratic ri%iimittoe, was a model

of clean cut, clear thinking. Ho was unanswer¬

able in his arguments. lie placed his cause on

a high plane anil never once stooped down in his work. He reached up at all points and

certainly made the Ijoague of Nations Issue so

fundamentally right that to those who hearH

him It wonid take more than right thinking to"

turn one aside—prejudice alone could undo

what he bid.

The Republican National Ccmmlttee fell

flatter than a proverbial pancake in its efforta

to sapply a speaker for Itepublican day. Ex-

Congressman Humphi^ys was supposed to bo

headed for the convention, but whether he got cold feet or was to© wise to try his iKvwers in

you almost forget the wonderful vocal organ that is giving it to you. Mr .Mercer has a big reputation anrong those who know in the musical world, and he demonstrated yesterday afternoon that he deserves said reputation. His rendltb'n of O'Hara's "There Is No Death” was artistry plus. In fact, you could ilalely feel the inienseness (hriiout the audience and hear their sigh of breathlessness when he closed with a prolonged note at the finale that makes this great song great He also sang a group of three of Clay Smith’s songs that are worth special mention. These songs easily placed this gentleman among the foremost American composers. This gr-'up was Mercerized fault¬ lessly, and immediately afterwards some one in the sudien. e started raUing for the com¬ poser, which was kept up until Mr. Smith stood and bowed in arknowl^gment. It is indeed pleating to find this man at last coming into hit own.

C. Wilson Read presided at the piano and diipla.ved rare musb ianthip. .\a an accompan¬ ist Mr. Read has few sii|>eriors. Ills technique is clean rut and be plays with such commen¬ surate skill and sympathetic precision he must be a great pleasure to the soloist. Good ac¬ companists are almost as rare as the proverbial dodo bird. There are pianists aplenty but few there are who can accompany artistically.

that It would be impossible for him to appear. Surely be was advertised and the audience was

all there.

Dr. L. O. Herbert w.is ni«hed Into the breach

and made a wonderful impression with hU lec¬

the unanimous verdict th.at all were glad that

MARGARET ANGLIN

“THE WOMAN OF BRONZE” By Paul Keater. (From the French of Klatemaecker.)

Art is a terrible thing! The art of getting a rile ont of people is a more terrible fbing! But the art whidh moves people to hysterics is—well, what arc you going to do

about It? Here is tlie exact case. Margaret Anglin is playing “The Wntnn of Bronze" at the Frazee Theater. Miss

Anglin is an emotional ai tress. Her em 'inm i« ku envdional that it is almost Im- IJ^|>•^ihle to suppress it. If Miss .Ynglin says "It is a line day!" (center stage) she s.iy it so ennui..nally that if you ha<i the heart <'f a l.indlord your speciailcs wviuld im¬ mediately get misty. There is no reason f<T tears, hut no one <an resist. When Miss Anglin turns her back to the audience (center stage', emotionally, of course, and bV'WS her ladylike nose, the deluge .an no longer be .becked. Tears ivur down your che. ks. But when Miss Anglin, as a good, true and noble wife. Is going to lose her husband with a million dollar | rize in bis sculptor's reai h. because be is riinniug away with a young huzzy who plays tlie violin and lias a drunken father, you are literally inundated liy the tearing surge of tearful seas which liillow all around you.

And if you aie a mairied woman it is [ilain bell. That's what it ir, plain bell!! I know. Who sliouldn'i?

Next to me s.if a young woman, .\round her ne.k she had a long string of pearlines She liad a lace liandkcr< hief loaded with Coly's "Oreal" and a tender soul. She set heiself for a good evening's cry the minute slie sat ilown by slmving my arm .itf my uhair. The play began. The first act she sniffed and stuffed lier handkerchief in her mouth. The se. ond act slie solili.-d Ofienly and < li.-wed her pearline necklace like a child's string of Job's tears. In the tliird n< t. when Miss Anglin lost her liiisliaud'and he Went oiit into Hie nlglit with the fiildling liiiz/.y. she let a war wlinsip out »if her that all but sl.nrted a riot in MV iinmeiliite vi'inily! She chewed a g.d. out of the handkerchief; She hit the ne< klace apart so rliai the poor peailines went babbling iimler the s.at. Being a gentleman I had to help her pick them up. Everyone thought sue was w tli me. n hiih made me sore. D.i< n a great l.ghl dawned on me. SUM WUKM A WliHDING king:

What could the jioor girl d.'? That’s tile reas-.n "Ihe Woman of Bronze’’ Is hell for a married woman—and the

I>oor (i'h wlio sits next to lier. When tl.e show was over and the audience waded thru tears to the street an am-

bulao'e cl.ingeil madly ib.wu Foriy-sec.iinl sHeet, going towaids the Frazee Theater. Ever since the thought haunts me that perlia|iB I didn’t pick up all the pearlines!

Perhaps the p.Kjr girl swallowed half the string! I’erhaps the young d.Htor so busily r'sding In a medi' al kit bag cm the hack of the amhulauce as he passed me was search¬ ing for a stomach pump!

.V W..iii»n in Bioiize" Is plain hell for a inarrie.l woman unless she leaves her yw-srlln.’s .ir lier teeth safe at home in the toji draw'er .if the tiijieau b.’fore she got'B to the Frazee Theater to see Miss Margaret Anglin emosh —PATTEKSOX JAMES.

About This Season’s New York Productions

THOMAS DIXON Presents ** His Drama of the Supreme Crisis In the Life of Abraham Lincoln

ii “A MAN OF THE PEOPLE” staged by Augustin Duncan

If Thomas Dixon’s drama was the best play on the subject that could possibly be ” written it lould not succeed in New York, where John Drinkwater’s ’’Ahraliara Lin-

coin” has been running for almost a year. Mr. Driukwater beat Mr. Dixon to the ,> punch. Chat is all there is to it. “.Y -Man of the People” has left New York for the ,, great unknown of the road, but that does not mean it is a failure. It simply could o not sTand up under the opposition of an established success ^dealing with the same <► central figure, tho it is totally different In every partbuLir. No play could. <► Taken as a play Mr. Dixon’s is by long odds the better. It has not the poetic die-

lion nor Idealiz.itlon of Drinkwater’s ‘‘Lincoln.” but it is more life like. The Drink- “ .w.iter chara. terlzation is a b.K)k Lincoln. Dixon’s is a something approaching the real

man. The English writer’s chief character is a somber individual with the premonl- tion of his wnd over him. He has none of the earthy quality of the Illinois rail split-

” ter. and none of the broad humor, which was one of Lincoln’s most salient traits. It ", displays no trace of the ambition which he unquestionably had. Drinkwater’s Great ,, Emancipator is a man of gloom overborne by the weight of his Job, a figure of soniber- ,, ness an.l hr.s'ding. There is no real life in him. ,, In ”A -Man of the People” all these points are touched upon sincerely and honestly. ,» It is no great secret that Lincoln wanted to be president the first time that he sought <► the office, and having been elected wanted a second term to vindicate his policy and to “ finish tlie work he felt had to be finished in his war. It is equally well known that <► pri'S'cd by an opponent he resorted to a rJughsliod humor to discomfit the man who was

fighting him. 'The 8,ene between Lincoln and tho Republican National Committeemen. ** with Thiiddeus Stevens, as the bitter radical, carrying the tight to the president and "" being defeated by Just su, h a method of ridicule, is excellently displayed. The sections ,, of the play dealing with Lincoln's immortal gentleness toward the afflicted an>l dis- ,, tressed are particularly good, especially the interview with the mofher who has lost ,, two s<ina. The epilog, which shows the president standing hetween the pillars of <> the Capitol reading his second inaugural address, is so effective a bit of stage craft ,» that It received curtain call after curtain call. <> Comparisons hetween the characterizations of Frank McGiynn and Howard Hall,

who is the Lincoln of the Dixon play, are unnecessary. Mr. McGiynn plays the role as it Is written and directed by Mr. Drinkwater and does a fine job. Mr. Hall, wlicse

** face does not lend Itself so easily to the image of the president, is obliged to resort ** to the artifice of the makeup box, hut he ,loes an equally excellent Joh. John C.

Hickey, as Thaddeus C. Stevens, Is um-ommoniy goi'd. YVouW there were more women on our stage with voices like .\ngela McCahill. It is incomparably lovely and has an

,, exquisite artistry behind it. There Is a fine assi'rtment of whiskers of all sorts worn ,, by fte National Committeemen, and a gentleman made up as the editor of The New o York Times exemplifies perfectly what people who do not like The Times think the ,, o'litor of that newspaper must look like even today. «► ".Y Man of the Feople” should have a prosperous season on the roaJ. It deserves <> it.—PATTERSON' JAMES.

About This Season’s New York Productions

Edgar J. MacGregor and William Moore Patch Present

“THE SWEETHEART SHOP” Book and Lyric* by Anne Caldwell. Music by Hugo Felix. Entire Production Under

the Stage Direction of Mr. XfacGregor. Musical Number* Staged by Julian Alfred. Scenery by Robert Law Studio*.

“The Sweetheart Shop” was a great success In Chicago. Whether they are easy to please out there or we are too effete here to enjoy gweetly-sweet things is a queatloo. However “The Sweetheart Shop’’ was a popular success In Chicago. While there la nothing new either In the story or its treatment the music Is tuneful and there la in tbe cast a comedy lady named Esther Howard who is effective despite the handicap of a most fearsome futurist wig and none too funny situations. Mias Howard la not pretty and lo*ea no time worrying over that fact. But ahe haa a rlgoron* sense of com¬ edy. she doesn’t scream her points and she dances and disports herself entertainingly. With better material she has tbe makings of a Talnable asset to the musical comedy stage, where funuy women are painfully rare. She knows what she is about, she doe* not pose and she does not laogh at herself. A girl who knows the first rule of com¬ edy playing, which is never to permit an andience to know you know you are funny, deserve* success.

Daniel Hesly dances gracefully and agreeably, and Una Fleming, as the maid, Peggy, it a genuine Joy. She is pretty and unaffected, she c.an sing tolerably, she llances very well and she has winsomenes*. All of whic,h are worth more than being squandered on a bit part. The opening number of the third act, “The Dresden China Belle," wflilch she does with tbe chorus (which it not at all hard to look at any time during tbe cveningi, is the best of the show.

Harry 5rorton, like all the Mortons, it an indefatigable worker. He is a good dancer and he has no fear of an audience, a heritage of bis training in burlesque. It is unfortunate that be conveys tbe impression of such perfect satisfaction with him¬ self and will laugh at hit own aettons. In a world where self-approbation la not un¬ usual Mr. 5Iorton'B contentment with himself is appalling. Burlesque star* do Just about aa they please on the stage. There it no restraint on a player’s iDitiative in the bur¬ lesque theaters. It it responsible for that Institution turning ont so many truly ex¬ cellent performer*. But it also has its drawback*, because the absence of proper stage direction fall* to check unpleasant tendencies on the part of featured comedians. Mu¬ sical comedy needs young men who have the unquestioned talents of Mr. Morton, but high-class audiences prefer that approval should come from them to an artiste and not from an artiste to himself. If .Mr. Morton will forget himself completely he will go on steadily, but at present his mannerisms, real or assumed, are a serioui drawback to hla adv*nc*nent.—PATTERSON JAMES,

SAM H. HARRIS PRESENTS

“WELCOME STRANGER” By Aaron Iloffinan. Staged by Sam Forrest.

TTiere Is a story going the round* of Broadway that Inatead of ‘‘Weienme Stranger”

bvdng the Ihacdi'raft of any one -tnan It is really the comivoalte product of several gen-

ilvK.cn tv ho km w all tlic gags la the vorld, all the effeotire stoge hits, and ail the

Mire fire situations ever invented. Whether there is anything in the rumor or not,

time will tidl. but one thing i* certain—all the abovementloned things are in the piece.

.Ynil the public, or a section of It at least which contributes largely to the support of

the theater, eats it up and yowls for more.

About This Season’s New York Productions

DAVID BELASCO Present*

FRANCES STARR

“ONE” To a certain class of showpoers the Belaaco Tlieater occupies the same afrecMonate

plate In the amusement world as that held a penetatlcn ago by the Eden .Musce, Mr Belasco Is to them the produclnp llonier who never ticds. These people enter the show- house on Forty-fourth street as reverently as Brahmlss a holy shrine. AVhatever they aee Inside Is both inspired and artistic. The ullerinces of the High Priest, which in this case happens to be the stage entertainment offered hy Mr. Belasco, are InfalHhie, heaven born, and not to he questioned. The hocus-pocus that surrounda - Ido] worship Is present when the gong booms to wwrn the worshipers that the ceremonlea are to begin. The lights are lowereil slowly to get the desired receptive mood and then the services liegin. It Is all quite like the bunk gone thru by the clairvoyants whom the police chased off the East Side some years past.

Tlip dreary psstime of sitting thru Edward Knoblock's ‘‘One,** which for the time being is orcuoylng the stage of the Belasco. heightens the spiritualistic seance Im presslon. Certainly no blindfolded, fat trance medium ever let loose such a mess of preposterous bosh as that which la seriously offered in "One ” The story in a mustard seed it that of twin sisters who have only one soul between them, a kind of psychic ’arf- and-'arf. Neither Pearl nor Ruby, for so are the twins named, is anything but a demi- tasse spiritual entity. In order to function properly and happily they must get into commimlcatlon with each other, when seperated, by gazing into the heart of a red. red rose and calling out the fent window: "Are you tbeyah?’’ If there is no red rose a red flannel petticoat might do, but no one could dream of aurh a crude thing as a flannel petticoat In a Belasco production. Both sisters are in love with the same man. They both cannot bave bim any more than they can have a full portion soul. So Poll decides to deed over her half of the soul estate to Ruby, or Roby does to Poll, it doesn’t make any difference about the namea, hy dying. It would never do to commit suicide, because the effect on the living “twlnnle’' would be as onpardonably rude as for an actor on the Re1as(N> stage to speak or act like a real bnman being. Under the counsel of a Satanic old physician one twin decides she will expose herself to pneumonia and die and all will be w(»ll Mr. Knohlock overlooked a grand idea when he didn't make the lady go on a MeSwiney hunger atrike. That would bare been Intelligent in tbete profiteering days!

Tliere Is not a line of sane sound thinking, a bit of real drama, or a vestige of

reality In the play. For expressing sentiments not half so loony as those In the piece

a man has reiently been extradited from Canada and put in a mad bouse. To waste

tiaie considering seriously such a hopelessly undergraduate attempt at psychological

flieorization would be even more exhausting than watching the pisy. The program de¬

scribes "One" as "A play of Immaterlalitv transmuted Into terms of the real thru

Hie medium of the theater.” If you stop after tbe fourth word and accent that one you

have Hie real description Of the whole sffair. The program also rontains quotations

•from I-eonardo da A'incl. Bulwer-l.yfton. Sir William Crookes. Camille ITammarion and

W. K. Clifford. The only other great philosopher omitted Is the well known and Justly

esteemed citizen of AA’llkcs-Rarre, Pa . Mr. ''Bulrh'* McDevltt. whose theories are

of far more importance than Mr. Knoblock'a and yastly more diverting.—PATTERSON JA.Mi;.^.

FRANCE FOSTER-MOTHER TO ART o The unveiling the other day of a memorial statue to Wilbur Wright u D at Le Mans reminds us how, despite the upheaA'al of Avar and reconstruc- <i <► lion. France continues lo be the generous foster-mother of art and in-

venlion to all the Avorld. Such a memorial is well, but it was a thousand times better that France offered to the Wright brothers, at the moment ,,

o Avhon they needed it most, the facilities and the inspiration to perfect o

<> Avhat is i>erhaps the greatest mechanical conquest of nature that man *> <> has yet attained. France e-xtended the assistance that is traditional of ^

her genius to the Iavo North Americans, struggling Aviih a heavier-than- air macliine, just as she had already given it to Santos Dumont, a South ,,

,, American, In developing a dirigible lighter-than-air machine, and as still <> o earlier she had brought about the perfection of the automobile, with its <> <► gas engine, which made possible both dirigible and airplane. ** All this is characteristic of the Avelcome that France invariably gives ,, J* to the man of creative spirit, just as it is characteristic of our own coun- <> o try, that in printing a photograph of the memorial The New York EA-en- <> <> Ing Tost should have mentioned Myron T. Herrick as one of the pooh- <’ ** balls who made a speech at the unveiling, but omitted the name of Paul

I,andoAAski, the sculptor of the monument. Why, we AAondcr, did The ,, o Kvening Post lug in the name of Wilbur Wright? We can not blame .. <> the caption Avriter unduly; he ran true to national form, Avhich invari- <> <> ably ignores the artist. Avho may have spent years on a vA'ork, to center ** its attention on the prominent citizen in a top hat Avho bores the croAvd J' with more than a fcAV ill-chosen words. Besides, it is part of the phil- o o osophy of the age that the producer in all lines shall star\'e while the <> <> profits of his effort go to the middlemen, who peddle, exploit and adver-

tlse it. Only ■vAe Avould have the neAvspapers more consistent. We sug- J* ” gost, for instance, that Avlien next some king of Wall Street dies. The ,,

Kvening Post shall omit his name from the obituary, mentinlng only o that of the undertaker Avho conducts the obsequies.—TIIE NATION. o

METROPOLITAN MAGIC

By Clinton Burgess

At the last meeting of the N. C. A. Bro

Frank Ducrot, the clever Brooklyn Headquar

ters’ Magician and manager of tbe Ilornmann

>rnglc Company, of this city, demonstrated

two unique pieces of apparatus recently im¬

ported, one being an all celluluid clock dial and

pointer, beautifully made and weighing but a

few ounces, all parts being unbreakable, and

a most wonderful piece of workmanship. The

other novelty was a pencil case and a red. a

white and a blue pencil, all of which bear mi¬

nute Inspection, yet upon any colored pencil

being wrapped in paper and securely enclosed

in the case the performer can instantly divine

the colors of the pencils retained by the vol¬

unteer assistant. The X. C. A. headquarters

puts its stamp of approval on these truly meri¬

torious articles and cordially invites all bona

fide manufacturers of or dealers in magical

apparatus to demonstrate some of their wares

before its members at its second meeting (held

on third Wednesday) of any month.

Cliagnon ft Company, of 497 Seventh avenne,

this city, dealers in French works of every de¬

scription. have a number of illustrated (paper

covered) works in that language on magic and

the kindred arts. It is le.irned. however, that

as certain works of this nature were found to

treat upon fortune telling, the government has

placed a ban npon all publications that might

have any reference to tbla; hence the scarcity

in this country of late French works on magic.

Clarence T. Il'jbbard had a highly interest¬

ing article occupying over a column in The

Hartford (Conn.) Times of Thursday. Septem¬

ber 2, in which he describes the peculiarly con¬

structed fish bowl used by the late Prof. Hartz

in bis original act known aa ’T.ef Ch-npe.'iii d’J

Dlable" (A Devil of a Hati. While Mr. Hab- bard states that Hartz produced six of these

bowls (which no doubt Hartz was quite capable

of doing I it Is remembeced that when Hartz

played Keith's Union Square week of July 30.

1900, over twenty years ago, be produce<l but

one bowl of flab. On this occasion H.irtz's hat

production consisted of two dozen small vari¬

colored silk handkerchiefs, two dozen (or there-

alHiuts) large colored silk handkerchiefs, two

dozen celluloid goblets, about same number of

tin caps, three champagne bottles, hundreds of

playing cards, silk streamers, glass lanterns

(lighted), a wig, tbe Bab globe with goid fish

(wig was the getaway) and a cape containing

a canary. Hartz always claimed the cage wa«

the only collapsible articles used by blm in his

prodnctkmi, but Mr, IlnbbarTs reference to

the fish bowl would show tkat Prof. Hartz neg¬

lected to mention this.

Prof. Ixjuis Krleger, “‘The Merry Wisard,'*

returned to New Y’ork Saturday. Seplemoer 9,

from Stockbridge. Berkshire O'unty. Mas* . and

has already played several society engiigeacnts

Sett Tracey, trombonist this season with Gentry Bros., baa returned to hia home in Great Falls, Mont., in order to attend to tbe sending of bia children to acbotd. Incidentally, he baa again taken up his profession as a bar¬ ber. Commenting on Tracey's return the Great Falls Daily Leader includes the following: ".kaide from barbering. Tracey h.is miisieal tal¬ ent, and with hia trusty tromlionc he found op¬ portunity to satisfy his appetite for travel in the circus band. Speaking of appetites, he • vera that his appetite kept the allow from making any money this season. 'It'e surprising what an appetite that outdoor life gives,* he romments."

TTie following appeared In The Denver Post of September IS: "A marriage of interest to hundreds of friends, including tbe stars of the vaudeville and circus world, has Just been re¬ vealed three months and a half after the event. Nellie Terry, formerly of the vaudeville team of Terry and KImer, became the wife. June 2, of Snapper' Garrison, for thirty-two years a circus clown and for fifteen years with The Denver Post. The couple la living at the Bp'wnleigh Arms llotel. which Mrs. Garrison recently purchasc-d. For thirty years Nellie Terry was prominent In vaudeville, while Gar¬ rison was one of the most successful of circus

When Frank A. Cassidy recently pulled oS a big publicity stunt for "Paramount Week” be experienced difficulty In ubtaining a field in tineinnatl large enough fur a landing, be¬ cause of the hills. After two days’ searclx Cassidy found Just tbe spot be wanted, but as It was covered with a growth of clover nearly knee-high be bad his doubts about being able to obtain tbe owner’s ronsent to its use. Long experience In renting cirrus lots from farmers bad taught blm that they are given to valuing such fields as worth the clover's weight In gold. The farmer was taking a nap wb"- C.Ts.sidy visited his house on Sunday after which wasn't a good omen either. He awakened and tbe situation put up to . Itubhing bis ryes, he drawled, “If yoo'll gi me half your rompany's bank account and a1i your railinad stock you ran have the field." Ciis.sldy started to protest aqd was about to bring all bis old circua arguments Into play when the farmer continued, "But If you’ll give me a ride in the carnsarned thing you can have the use of the field without cost” The farmer got bis ride.

And the boys stand by their ehef. “Our Dear Solly—Much has been said and told in many issues of your valued paper regarding rooks on advertising ear No. 3 of the John Robinson Shows, and it is with regret that we. the un¬ dersigned. are forced to say that car No. 1 of the same show has a chef that is a CHEF, and what ho prepares simply ‘melts In our mouths.’ We did not intend to let this good news get out. but account of so much crowing about cooks on the car behind us we simply must say that we would not refer to Harry Mouton, our wonderful chef, by calling him a ’cook.’ Most of the men on this car are get¬ ting so fat that if it were not near tbe end of tbe season we fear that we would not be able to post bills much longer. When all Is said and done we are willing to wager that we have a better cbef than any other advertising oar on earth.” And this is followed by these ’’handles": O. Bamage, Frank Reed, D. Towles, L.

“THINGS 1 SEE AND HEAR EVERY DAY”

By BHIY extok

Was making a move last week between Dal¬ las and Houston and passed thru tbe town cpf Eddy, Tex. There was a small show eet np on a lot Just a few blocks from the station and as I did not see any billing for same ronld not get tbe name of the troupe. But wish to state that it sure was a real clean looking outfit, with a new top and everything In ship¬ shape. It was evidently a motor or wagon show, but the name was not on any wagon or machine on the lot—that Is, that I could see.

Oscar Wiley Is at Waco and has charge of the billposting plant, and is a very contended “oldtimer.”

J. B. Rustin. of tbe Gentry Shows, was busy In and around nouston. but Ben never stops to talk—only says “Hello’’ and “Goodbye."

Jack Glines, well known among all circus men. came Into Houston while I was there, having Just closed with the Gentry Shows, and has nnother “big ’ thing up his sleeve, which by this time is being put to praetieal use and get¬ ting results.

Boone’s Show Notes—Bcnine's Circus and Wiid 'Weat has played to excellent business the past

weeks. At present the show consists of y wagons, two autos, seventy bead of and llfty-two pi-ople. In addition to the

show there is a side-show and a “cabaret" iter the iK-rformauie. J. W. Cauble, who

has bad the paper ahead of the outfit this season, bss combined with Sam Wells, of Sayre, Ok., in framing a sm^l Wild West and pic¬ ture show. "Happy” and "Casey" Smith have purchased the Walls Bros. Wild West, and will start out about the last of September. The Smith Boys have been on the Boone Show for the past eight years. The Boone Show will •tay out all winter, playing .Southern Oklahoma. Manager Pate Boone baa purchased a beautiful tract of land sixteen miles east and one mile north of .Medo, Ok., where he intends pulling a real Frontier Roundup in the very near future, and at this writing work la about ready to start on the building of sheds, corral, grand stand and race track.

There can be STATK CHAMPIONSHIPS la bronk riding, trick riding, roping, bulldogging and all other sports of the frontier order. To hive only the world s championship for the bands to go after w»/uld hardly be a promising proposition so far as local interest in the vari¬ ous States is concerned, as there would be many who would not even start for the honor, and such contests, held yearl.v, would bring into the limelight but a very small majority of worthy contestants. There are numerous sec- Hons of the country wherein the contestants and pubic would anxiously await each fall the final event In their State, to learn who would be the STATE CHAMPIONS, and It is Bowdy Waddy's presumption that Kval managers and committees would take far more interest lo stsglng and advancing the "iHime contest" than to only lend their aid to someone to pull the World's Championship contest toward the close of each season. The WORLD'S event will take its place without any great amount of figur¬ ing. as It would necessarily follow. And the winners in the State events could enter for rhamplon«hipB In the world's events. But, the main point in order to create interest in this —oot-of-the-ordinary—sport, in either State or international events. Is to make them, and keep them CONTESTS, not merely shows. And the all Important matter toward making either the State or international awards official la that an OR<'.ANIZ,\TION be formed, not to comprise a few promoters and managers, but with tlie iocal associations and committees in each State as members. Now, much has been said on the .4ssoclatton (or Ogranlzntlonl sub¬ ject, but most of it has been along "World’s Championship" lines. .4n .Association is imper¬ ative in order to not only retain, but advance. Interest, and INTEREST is what brings the money into the box-office. Rowdy Waddy would greatly appreciate letters from local committees, thru their secretaries or other executives, giv¬ ing their views on the above statements.

ESSIE FAY’S SHOW

Chicago, Sept. 22.—Rill Sherman, who haa been with the Essie Fay Show, one of the big features of the Con T. Kenjedy Shows, has g^.ven The Billboard some sidelights on Essie's part of the entertainment. Bill tells it some¬ thing like this;

"Essie Fay has a real Wild West and Horse Show combined. Slie also has one of the clean¬ est and best entertainments of its kind I ever saw. The show carries twenty-five people and thirty-four horses, and has one of the best layouts of burking horses that ever was gotten together.

"The principals are Jim and M'innle Carry, Bill 8herman. Sandy Warner, Doc Duncan, El¬ mer Brooks and Miss Fay. An Eau Claire boy recently rame on the show and made a wager of $30 with Doc that he could ride ‘Brown Jng * Well, he didn’t. Sandy Warren rides all bronks without stirrups removed. Jim Carey, figures in ropes and bronks, and Bill Sherman, that’s me. you know, have been acting as arena di¬ re, tor and ride bronks. Doe Duncan handles the (ront better than any mit I ever saw. El¬ mer Brooki and hti school of educated horses Is one of the big bits of the act. Arabia, the mindreading horse, is an outstanding fea¬ ture. while Snowball, the posing horse, worked by Minnie Carry, is one of the most beautiful acts I have ever seen, barring none. By the wsv, it takea five cars to carry Miss Fay’a stuff. 1 will leave the ahow In Chippewa Fall* and will make a few more ronteats thii fall."

Despite the fact that the fair opened on (Mondajr with a aoaklng rain, which really de¬ layed the opening until Tuesday night and kept the Wortbmn Shows off the lot until the even¬ ing of the aeeuDd day, the fair and the Worth¬ am Sbowa grusaed a greater business than was abowD In any year of the free fair. The esti¬ mated attendance of the fair for the week was .'{45,000, a gain In attendance over 1910 of ten per cent. The races and Gordon's “Ilawaiian Niglita” showed a gain in paid ad¬ mission* of seventeen i>er cent. The Wortham i«h >wH went over the top of all records with a gain of more than twenty per cent over 1919. i'ri'd Beckman, manager of the Wortham Shows, expressed bimself a* more than pleased with the Kansas Free Fair, and be was surprised at the splendid gain* shown.

The ezbibits of live stock and machinery were the largest ever shown in Kansas. Every inch of spare that ronld be used for displaying merbinery was occupied, and every stall in the iMTse and cattle barns and every pen in the s«ine end sheep barns were lllled, and tents were provided for the overflow.

The concesslonairea were pleased and spoke for their ppota for next year. There was busl- ners for everyone, and everyone thrived, and there was no trouble to mar the week.

GRATIFYING SUCCESS

Attained by Northeastern Wisconsin Fair

The Nosthcastem Wisconsin Fair, which wos held at Green Bay-De I'ere, Wia., Augut>t Stl- 31-Sept. 1-2, proved to be a wonderful micceaa. A meeting of the directors waa held Septenilicr 14 for the purpose of cbe<'king up the fair, and the results were more th.in gr.-itlfying. Over $.'{,500 waa clean-d, and the total receipts were more than $'2S.(XK). It is estimated that over 40.000 pe'vple attended the fair. The races were more than excellent, and the exhlbita far sur¬ passed those of any prevlona yetrs.

One thing noticed was that the buildings are not large enough. The plant, as now built, represents an investment of better than $60,000 It la expected that next year $:iQ UOO will be spent to enlarge the present buildings and the grand stand.

The midway did a big business: in fact, everyone reported it as their largest week of the season.

At the directors' meeting the dates for next year were aet for August 29, 30. 31 and Sep¬ tember 1. Plans are already under way to make the next year fair bigger thm tbe one this year, altho people in this vicinity can not Imagine a better fair. More free attrortlons will be put on and everything in general made a little better.

HIS AERItL CIRCUS JERSEY mi EL

LITERALLY DRAGGED THEM OUT OF THEIR SEATS AT THE TENNESSEE STATE FAIR, NASHVILLE, LAST WEEK.

STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN! FAIR MANAGERS, GET THIS: ON MONDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 20th, for the first time in the history of the world, at a public exhibition, RINGED STOOD UP on the top wing of his plane and LOOPED-THE-LOOP.

Stop and Read That Again-and Think what it means to see a man STAND UP ON THE TOP WING OF A PLANE AND LOOP-THE-LOOP. Ringel originated this,' the greatest stunt in avia¬ tion. No other aerial acrobat has ever dared to attempt it Ringel accom¬ plished it for the first time at Chattanooga on Friday, September 17th, three

days before his Nashville engagement

RUSSWURM SAYS: SoptPmbor 24. 1920.

MR. JOSEPH R. CURTIS. Manager,

Jersey Ringel and His Aerial Circus,

Chattanooga. Tennessee:

Dear Mr. Curtis—On behalf of tho trus¬ tees of the Tennessee State Fair, allow me to express our appreciation of Jersey Ringel and His Aerial Circus, which has been our principal attraction this year.

In the thirty or forty years which I have been connected with the amusement game, 1 have never witnessed so thrilling an act as that furnished by Ringel, and I sincerely be¬ lieve that he will bo the greatest drawing card in the outdoor show world in the months to come

I also take pleasure in stating to you that not only was our contract with you observed in every detail, but that you gave us fea¬ tures which you did not promise and w hich we had no reason to expect. We hope to have this big feature again next year, and you may reserve the dates of the Tennessee State Fair for Ringel and His Circus.

With best wishes, I am. Yours very truly,

(Signed) J., W, RUSSWURM. Secretary-Manager Tenn. State FMr.

ROB ROY SAYS: MR. JOSEPH R. CURTIS, Manager,

Jersey Ringel and His Aerial Circus, Chattanooga, Tennessee:

Pear Joe—You got away yesterday before 1 had a chance to see you, so I am writing to express my personal api>reciation, as well as that of the Tennessee State F"air for the won¬ derful. thrilling exhibition that you gave us.

As you know, I have had occasion in the past few years to see I.,ocklear, Tinney, Wil¬ son, and all of the other outdoor amusement attractions, both big and little, and I am sincere when 1 tell you that Ringel so far surpasses the others that there is really no comparison. The rest of them were good, but Ringel makes them look like amateurs. He stands supreme as an outdoor attraction, and I believe that he will be America’s greatest sensation next year.

His change from one plane to another is as thrilling as that of other noted aerial acrobats, and his standing on the top of a plane while it loops-the-loop simply takes the breath away from every spectator. He is ab¬ solutely the best. What more could be said?

If you want any endorsement of his work, lot me know. It will be a pleasure to testify to his great value as a drawing card.

Yours very truly, (Signed) ROB ROY,

Chairman Amusement Com. Tenn. State Fair.

Ringel also changes planes with or without a rope ladder and performs all the other aerial acrobatics. He does all that the others claim to, and then some.

Finding a Joint left b.v gome pitchman—a box—he de. Tided to donate three bucks (the reader) to the public fund. Having hut thirty belts in his keister. he chalked the p,ivempnts. *’Free Sh.iw" for seren thirty, at wlilrh time, with no one In sight, he lit his torch and sat d"Wn and dreamily played one tune on the old banjo. To his utter surprise, after a few minutes, there was a big push In front of him and he got busy, selling the thirty belts right off the reel. Pays he told 'em he had more stock In his trunk st the depot and started In that di¬ rection. with fourteen trailing, to each of whom he s<dd one eaeli at a dollar and a half a throw.

Reckcr says if pit liiiiiii would onl.v tell one another the tr ith ahoiit towns that are open and about the rea'I'TS. Yes. Hr.. t>ut it seems some think it a hig thing to steer one anotlier wrong. The meanest man in the world ia a pitchman that will send another pitchman in to a closed terrl- tor.r—when he knows it is closed. He is not Worthy of lieing calleil a (dtchman. I try to keep posted and believe I have tbe reputation of Kliiiig the Is'js straight, and very few of the knights who rume to ^Iambus that do not hunt me up to find out about towns. I can tell them about any *own In Ohio, and the m- st of the tow 18 from Pittsburg to Philadelpliia. on the P. It. It., or from Harrisburg to Baltimore. I oaa’t understand why one pitchman w- uid want to steer another wrong. What does it get him? And many a time the pitchman that got a wrong steer Is in need of money badl.r. I kiio.y it was the case with me three years ago. 1 liad been sick, and was dowm and out, and ti'k'-d a pitchman in Pittsburg where I cotihl work and get a few dollars. He says: ‘I will tell j ,u Just the town,* an-l I went there—spent my itist dollar for car fare—found the nuu who ■'nt me had been there the l^ifiirday before and had a shake down. But as luck had It 1 met a man I had known a year ago. He took mo into another town win re I g"t a little money. I think if the boys would all tell one an- ther right we would make mere m"ney. also have mote ( pen towns and cheaper r'-.ad'rs. So. boys, let’s try to help each other all we can. and, any time y(>u are in C"lumbU8. cott.e to see me; y- tr are a'lwjys welcome at my heme, and can al- w.nys d' pend c-n me t. IFnc y-.u straight.

A goodly-sixrd crowd found ita way into tbe gO'unds on Monday, where tbe midway attrac¬ tions becanse tbe center of interest. Tuesday was rhililren's day. briaging thoiiyands of tbe future "sittesmen and bittiuess men." sod their possible “helpmates" out to the grounds, it was a big d-iy for the midway shows, the various exhibits and the free acta on the infield, altlio the grandstand w.is not Jammed, by any nicans. owing to the fact tbat rbildren pre¬ dominated; they whose fancies have not yet trended to sp<>rts. However, the low. barricaded circle of tbe infield is due to be well peopled, and tbe grand stand well filled, what with the reserve seefa practically taken from Wednes¬ day to {Saturday, on which latter day tbe auto ra. es will be staged.

With the Greater hbeealey Shows now is C.ip- ti.in fion-ho's Huhmarine hbow, opened with the caravan for the first time here at Allentown. It is proving quite a popular attraction, dem. n- strating the workings of the under wafer craft and tbe deep sea divers. Joseph Kalania and I.rlia Ktlama have Joined “Brother Johnny" In tbe Hawaiian show, making tbe personnel of tbat outfit one tbat can offer the best in Ha¬ waiian music and dancing. Mr. and Mrs. Freil Barrett, concesslonert, have left for a week or ten days to see the home folks at rrovtdence. It. I. Vonng “Johnny” Sheesley has relin¬ quished his claim of trainer pro-tem of pomes, ami horses in deferern'e to the priority of his seomd semester of 1020 at Notre Dame Acad¬ emy.

DUTIES GREATER ALAMO SHOWS

One of the most umisuvl sights ever seen on n rjrnirul lot was witnesseil on Monday .'ll Vancouver. when a crowd of children and grown-ups brnred a r-onfmual. heavy rain to ol- leiiil the Vaucouver. B. l\. Fair, and practically insisted that the various (Treater Alamo Shows’ attractions open and provide amusement for tlie tifitors. Thruout the day and evening rain fell ill great quautiiiea. It was Children's Day and they did nut let the rain spoil their pleasure. Show after show opened and then the whip and Ferris wheel. Thru the downpriur the kiddies and elders rode and treked ftom attraction to attraction, eager to spend their money for amusement. Portlanders have nothing on Van- <'ouverit<-8 when it comes to enjoying outdoor auius,-nieDts while rain fails In torrents.

It has been arranged that the Greater Alamo should exhibit in Vancouver during tbe three pre-fair days. Rain prevented this and also prevented opening on tbe first days of the exhibition. Wednesday was the scheduled big day. Business was entirely suspended and ar¬ rangements bad been made to care for a greater crowd than one year ago. Tuesday night the heavens opened and at night a heavy rain was still falling, with no signa of abatement.

Uaiii has lieen a constant visitor with tbe Greater Alamo since the fair dates started at i'ectralia. Wash. Tbe Washington State Pale at Yakima follows Vancouver, with the Ore¬ gon State Fair at Salem next. General Agent Harry P. ITofer la expected on the show dally and will announce the four California dates that follow Albany, Oregon, on the ronte to tbe Arizona State Fair at Phoenix. General Mana¬ ger H. M. Waugh continues to Improve rapidly and now personally dlxecta company details. The airplane, recently secured by Waugh * Hofer. was sold to an aero company.—C. M. OASEt.

About fifteen people Were engaged, rehearsals taking place, etc., but when the show was ready to m-ive the disi-overy was made that "all tbe money in the world" had diminished so rapidly that there was none left to lift the wardrobe, pay the agent or buy tbe tickets, and the start was postponed from ^atu.day morning tv night, then to S'linday morning and finally Sunday night, when the |ie<>tde, "getting wise," de¬ serted, and tbe aaiil Smedley left without hit show.

The shows are doina a very fine business, as it is the lar^e^t orsani- zation that has ever been seen at this fair. The shows arrived on Sunday from Maryville, Tenn., where they finished a very big week's bnsiness under the auspice? of the .\mpiiian Legion. This was one of the so-called ''cli scd” towns, but the Legion had no difficulties in staging Its festival, and the shows were whii patronized. Every buslnes? house in Maryville closed on Tuesday and a general holiday was declared in Irnnor of the .tmerican Legion, and the shows had one of the banner days of the Season.

FYom here the Zeidmaa & Poilie Exposition goes to the People’s -tprieultural Fair at Sa is- bury, Jf. C , with the Northeast Oeorgia Fair, at Gainesville, Ga.; the North Georgia Fair, at Kome; Early County Fair, Blakely. Ga., and the Colquitt County Fair, Moultrie, Ga., to follow.

The protests were losed on the Korund that th# operation of such a show house constituted a menace to the piihlic iiior.ils. It had heen planned to operate the the.iter for Uie bencht of shonfolk- and others whose oo'upations pre> clu.led their attendinic the theaters duiing the regular boiira.

Tiny and James Brennan (The Two Tiny Tots) vUltt.d The BiLiboard oihee and announced that they have Just seciiri'd n lon,f r»ute from le-vy A Ackerman, which will keep them bus.T thru- out the winter muuihs. Wli le working at Klehniond, Septemh.r lU, Tiny Brennan Injiiie.l her ankle duiing her dance number. However. She exiiects to be at work In a wreek or ten days. The I'rennana send recaids to all tab. folk. The.r permanent mldre-s Is care of Th# Billiards San I'ranciscu otbc#.

Charles H. Wilkinson, "Ijimlter Jack Char* ley.” was a Billl'oard visitor duiing the week, followi'ip a successful enifagement at the Call- fernia State lair In Sacramento. Wilkinson sieppiMl the show on closing night at Sacramento when he sang w th the band, and took bow after bow. He will sing at tlie Ttesno County Kair, after visiting In S.in Kranelseo for a few da.va.

Pule .\lt-n writes from Los Angeles for word of her sister. Theda Allen, whom the believes to be in or near San Francisco. M.ss liixle has important news for her sister and would like to hear from her.

A mnve-ient has been launched here among the chorus girls tc Ixiost for Hanling for president. Ree Winsome, one of the leading feminine fig¬ ures of the Marcus Show of ItCO, which opened at the Columbia Theater on the night of Sep¬ tember h’O, Is one of the leaders in the move¬ ment and has offered the services of the wom¬ en of her company to the Republican State Central Committee.

Two Orpheum and two Hippodrome acta en¬ tertained the ronvslescent s^ddiers at the I.et- terman General Hospital retently. The enter¬ tainment was eondticted under the auspices of Adolph Dolir:ng. stage director, and Mr. Me- Bweetea. musi<al director. Numlwra on the program included Haig, in "playtime.” and Sidney Philllpa In song, and stories, from the Orpbeiim. and Clift'-n Kramer. Joe Coffman and lss?*elle rsrrdl. fr.>m the Hippodrome.

OPEN LETTERS (Continued from page 34)

and my songs have always been accepted In vari¬ ous schools and also in the public libraries, yet whenever I sought to approach any of tbe io- called publishers in and around Broadway 1 have always been treated with both contempt and disrespect and always receive the same re¬ ply—we have our own staff of writers and we Won't take anything from outsid# writers. Yet by teachers in the schools and librarians songs and poetical works are given the most serious attention. Tbe writing of songs is the work of a qualified poet, one who has shown excep¬ tional skill in this line, and let me say here regarding the so-called staff writer and col¬ laboration song writer that the man wlio can not write a song without having one, two, three or four people to help him out has no right whatever to try to do work of this kind. Suppose Shakespeare, Milton, Burns, Goldsmith, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Florence Percy and other writers had enlisted the aid of three or four people to get something done, would their work be of any value? And altho I have written fire to six hundred songs and several volumes of poetry, as well as stories and plays. I have never required tlie assistance of anyone to do this work, because, as 1 have said, the man who can not write a song without tbe assistance of half a dozen others has no right to even try to do work of this kind, and It’s Just this staff writing business that has mined the mn- sic publishing business. The people don’t want this junk because It has no Uterary value and songs should not be published or written unless they have some literary value and are tho work of one who has shown himself or her¬ self to be a qualified poet. Of course I am aware that the efforts of these poets will do no good, as tbe poor author has not the money, the time and the inclination to get his songs on the market, and unless he can get someone to publish his work, and It’s not very likely that he can. bis work will not get befgre tbe public and tbe market will continue to be flooded with the Junk of the staff writers, and that is the ^reason the music business i# demoralized and ruined. I have written new words to all tbe old war and patriotic songs except the “Star-.'<iiiingled Banner.” which 1 have set to new music. I have followed in the lines of Gray, Burns, Moore. Goldsmith, Fbster aud Edgar Allan Poe. I have written more school, patriotic and folk songs than probably any other man that ever lived. I wrote over twenty-five S' ngs on the great war. I have written several hundred popular songs as well as a large number of flne standard ballads the equal of any that have ever been written, yet if I went down wUh any of my song* on Broad¬ way they would all say "We have onr own staff of writers and we don't tike anything from outside.” and If you can get out of their so-called publishing bouses without being actu¬ ally insulted and abused you would be very lucky indeed. I am not afraid to submit any work to a school, a college or a public library, but ray exiHTiem-e in dealing with these so- called publishers has convinced me that one can not do anything with these people ns far ns getting his work published. He can not even retain his self-respect as a P'>et, an author or .a man. and If anyone doubts in any wa.v what I have said I am In a position to convince them that every word Is true. I am In a position to give to the pub¬ lic one of the finest collections of school, pa¬ triotic and folk songs that have ever come from the bands of any author, as well as popu¬ lar songs and fine stand.ird ballads, if I could enlist tbe aid of some reliable person who ha# a desire and a love for what Is good, what i# nice and what is be.iutiful in music. As a poet and composer I consider my life’s work as done, and if there is anyone who desires to help me to get this work out I would be glad to have them and know who they are, either puMlslier, singer or musician. I have enough w >rk for all and there Is room for all those who wish to assist. And now at the end of Diy letter let me th.snk The Bllllxxsrd for th# as-istance it has given me in publishing my work, and if I should succeed In getting my work before the public 1 shall give unltmlted praise to the one merlluin the obscure author and poet ha*.

DANGERS AHEAD

FILM MAN INJURED

Chicago. Sept. 24.—Irving R. Rehm. president i.f The Atlas F.dueational Film Company, of

this elty, was seriously injured by a motor liiiik on 1 is way borne from the studio last evening. The driver of the truck Is s.-iid to

have brt'n running on the wrong side of the street when he hit Mr. Rehm. nnd the force was so great that one of Mr. Rehm’s shoes was lorn from his foot, and. when picked up, was found with the slioe strings still tied. Mr. Rehm Is confined to his Lome, and It will be

Bonie time before he will regain the use of one hand, as the wrist has been broken In several

idaces.

With the full enfranchisement of women In the nation we may look for a strong rcnew.il of the fight for Federal and State censorship. In the month of December a new Congress will meet. In the course of the coming year the legislatures of most of the forty-eight States will convene.

We ahsuiue and believe tbst the motives of the great majority of women who favor oficia. i-ensorsliip are honest. Like Maud Murray Miller, of Ohio fame, most of the wonien ••just love to censor the pictures."

We do not propose at this time to go into the fallacy and injustice of censorship applied to the screen—we will have much to say on that subject In tlie future is-ues of The Itillh'iard, ancl we hope to be useful in this way to the men who must fight cen¬ sorship.

What we d.-sire to point out at this time with the use of our largest megaphone Is the danger vvliich lies in allowing the plan or the management of our antivensorshlp .laiupaigii to be controll.-d or dominated by either the manufacturing or the distribut¬ ing Interests. We do not regard censorship merely as a problem In producers’ profits. Indeed as far as the prodii'-er is concerned, however sincere and reasonable hit oppositi n against censorship, he will be regarded as a party with a direct financial interest in the outcome, ami l»'lh he and his hired lawyer will be under a disadvantage which has heretofore proved fatal in every case. ,

The fight against censorship must take its sour.se in the public h.'stility against censorship. The men who own the thv-aters and who come In contact with their pair-.ns are best able to inten.ret and assert such anti-censorship sentiment as may exist among their patrons. They have every right to be heard, not as individuals hot as the spokes¬ men of their ait.liencei.

We must go even further than this. We must enlist the active support of men who are prominent in civic affairs, who recognize the danger of establishing an inqui-itlnn over tins inirxirtant medium of expressi-.n an.i WHO H.VVE NO CONNECTION WHAT- r. vEu wini MorioN ncTfUES whether finantiai. or otherwise, we need editors and Statesmen and persons of both sexes who have achieved a reputation for public service to c<imbat this menace which now threatens to overwhelm the in- (lastly.

(•lie other class of men must be heard—the men who can hest qualify as witnesses to prove lew censorship kills genius—1 am speaking of the directors. It was Mr (Inffltb’s plea to the legislature of Virginia which doomed the censorship bill In that Slate two years ago. If censorship as the long liaired men and short-haired women want it ap¬ plied to the screen had been imposed upon literature and upon painting and upon s. 'ulpliire we would never have emerged from the crudity of the sarage.

The Billboard thinks it a deplorable neglect on the part of the industry not to have repeab'd the censorship laws in the Slates of Ohio. I’ennsylvanla. Nfaryland an.I Kansas If the odious law had been repealed In even one State we would be better e.iiiipped for the anti censorship fights that are to come.

If we make this an issue involving the constlftiflonal Hherfiet of the cltlren. 1' we follow the lead of the iate Justice Oaynor and Insist upon the enfranchisement of the motion picture as a medium of expression comparable to the press, we must win If we make this a fight originated or controlled by the manufacturers, who have been for and against censorship as their pockets seemed to he affected, then we will lose the fight and we will deserve to lose It.—W. STEPHEN Bl'SH.

gets drunk in a cabin with the result that he

perislica in the fire. The officer, who bud

arrested the husband, is a former friend of the

wife and decides to let the husband go.

THE CRITICAL X-UAT

This Is a rather crude melodrama and if It were

not for the animals and the baby and the beauti¬

ful scenery it would fall absolutely flat. A

comical little bear and a pathetic sort of tramp

dog furnished a lot of entertainment and af¬

forded a welcome excuse to forget about the

vapidities of the so-called plot. The bear won

bis way into the hearts of the audience at once

and remained a favorite to the end. Other

animals shown were a squirrel, one or two pumas,

aeveral timber wolves and a porcupine. This

calalug may be incomplete, but it contains

most of the animals anyway.

The acting of the hero was op to the low

standard of intelligence which tradition has set

for all melo<lrnniat!c heroes. Quite a lot of the

celluloid is taken up with the struggles between

the villain and the heroine. .\u,l enees are used

to this sort of thing and generally endure It

with patience, but they always laugh when the

imperiled her,,ine is so much huskier than the

Tlllian and seems entitled to be the favorite

in the betting on the outcome. The performance

of Betty Blythe was staged and unconvincing to

the last degree.

Gloomy and s.kl is this pli ture of a mother’s

sustained and interest held to the final scene. Miss Frislericks kept well within the central

Idea of the I'tory, th-i she was apt to b-'w ben

emotion so necessary on the screen. But tho

the leading character cannot fail to attrai't

sympathy for the unhappy creature wh-vso

What a ebromo is to an oil painting this

Improbable, poorly delineated. At its best it la

cheap and lurid melodrama. Tbe Hart fans

will like the fights and all the underworld

whether the average audience with no special

Chairman Neumann will have the tickets ready for dis¬ tribution within a week, and urges that all get in reservations as so-m as possible. Thia will avoid any disappointments caused by a last- minute rush.

The varKius committees are now being made up, and tbe list will be published as soon as possible. In the meantime all the members are roiuested to start boosting for the ball, and the best way to boost is to write K. I’. Neumann, 231 N’orth Desplaines street, Chicago, and tell him how many tickets you will want.

The gr-'wth of the League is systematic and steady. At a special meeting held September 21 the applications of pers-ms for membership were passed on favorably as follows: Boland O. Knapp. John Huffman, Toto Miegrist. Harry R. D.nnville. William C. Bippman, CharlM P. Curran, William R. McCurdy, Frank A. Rey- mann. Max Sanders, Gua Scliaefer and John L. Bateman.

SHOWMEN, irS YOUR FIGHT Do Your Part in Aiding COMA To Combat Exorbitant Railroad Rate*

Showmen and Car Ownera;

COMA now has complaints filed in Texas, Kansas, Arkansas and MIsaoarl. No matter wlere you are. write or wire tod y a complaint to each Commission about the awful ratet the Katy, Frisco, Cotton Belt. R. I. and T. P. are charging (S310 minimum and up).

The Texas Commission is to give us a hearing shortly, but writes me it could not see why COMA was kicking when Ringling Bros., John Roblnsoa, Reed, Bouthwesteru and Gentry Bros, were paying the rates asked without complaint,

The hist olijei tlon urgeil by counsel for the tlefcndants Is that the service ronlemplateil Sunday perfoi mances, and therefore the con¬ tract is illceat But the contract provides the right to the use of the services of Hie de¬ fendants. in any theater whore they may give Sunday rvincerls. 1 can D"t assume that the pI.alnHff will violate the crinunal law and give performances during the ensuing year vviiere the law forbids it. I do net think lh> i-en- tiact shniilil I’c voided iHsaiise of the pie*enie of this Tcfjiilrement in the rontract. The show might travel and the defenvhints might per¬ form In other communiHet and 8tat(>s where Snislay concerts arc pv-rmlssible. and. the'e- fore, the defendants would be obiigv'd to per¬ form as the contract reads they must.

I am impressed with the goi.d faith exhibited by the plaintiff wlien it was learned in OlilruKO that the defendants claimed they had n-d re¬ ceived notice. Its willingness to carry out the contract Indicated a clear intention to exer¬ cise the opilon under the eonlract. The de¬ fendants, on the other band, were endeavoring in «II these negotiations to oluain an increase in salary, and it It aiiparent they were trying to avoid the ronse<inences of the right of the plaintiff to renew the contract After hear ng the evidence. 1 am more (Irmly convinced lhat the judgment here must be for the plaintiff.

A decree may be presented accordingly. Dated: September 21, 1920.

ACTORS, ACTRESSES AND ARTISTS who elect to make their permanent address in care of The Billboard may, of course, choose any of our branch offices, i. e., New York, Chicago,' 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¬ lows 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 permit your mail to reach you. Write names of towns, dates and signature plainly.

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

READ THE EXPLANATION AT HEAD OF THIS LIST.

FALSE

Ringling Brothers Not Cutting Show

A story pQblitbed last week in a cheap and irreaponsibte weekly Iiad it that Rlngllag Br^a. were cnttlng down their shows, reducing the nnmber of acta and generally lowering expenses preparatory to the tour of the South.

There is no truth in the yarn. The South is very pmspemus and Measri. Itingling exper-t even better buainess In that region than else¬ where and are carrying every feature, act and appurtenance that they atarled oo tour with.

There hare lieen a few cb.mges la minor ra¬ pacities due to arciilenta and other causes, but these have been fewer this acaa<« than ever before.

At a matter of fact the show enters the South not weaker but actually atmnger in many ways than It hat i>een to date, and it la running much smoother and better.
