Mr. E. H. Price, wlK*«e picture api>ears above, I* one of tbe best known and must widely cx- l>erl<-nce<l opera house managers In America. He gradua,<-u fmm tbe law department of Mb'blgan Cnlverslt.r. and was admitted to tbe l>ar In that .state, but gave up the profession of law and t<a>k up Journalism. In which be ba* achlev^ great *ucce«*. He recently went West tu assume tbe general management of tbe BcIsm-u and Mayer entenirb»e*. with headquar¬ ters In San Francisco. Cal. In this capacity be baa under control the .klcazar and Central The- *tr»'*, San Francisco, liesldes aeveral western road enter|>rl*e*. including Florence Koberta and r. e Hal-v Farm.

Mr. Price ha* inaimged some of the greateat .kmerk-an actor*, theatres and opera liouaea. and ba* been a prolific contributor to Eastern yunr- uaU 'and magaxlnt-s. For four yeara be man- age<l Klchard .Mansfield, both In this country and In England. When Mr*. Leslie Carter went u|a>u the stage, be was her manager. He also had tbe management of the exploitations of such stars as .Mm*. Ristorl, Anna Held and Grace George, .\nwng the theatre* which hare been uniler hi* control might be mentioned the Gloiie In lamdon and the Pleasure 1‘alace and Manhattan In New York. Ills "Man Behind the Scenes" department was a feature of the "New York Morning Telegraph" for five yeara, hi* contribution* during that time covering .T.tk'iO column*, touching upon nearly 20.000 timely topb'S.

Iks', Waddell, general agent of the Ted E. Faust Minstrel*, writes; "We broke house record* at Bellefontalne, Kenton. Marysville. Ixvmlon. I'pper 8andusky Bucyrus and Gallon. At Bellefontalne. Kenton. Cpper Sandusky and Bucyrus the Elk* gave the company social ses- skms. Mr. Faust la very |>opular as an Elk and Shrlner."

A corresi'ondent write*. "John W. Vogel's Conquiny la strong In every particular, the olio IntriMlucIng suu.e new and pleasing features, and the viH'sllat* are among tbe best ever heard on the minstrel stage. Vogel may be said to bav.> one of tbe handsomest first parts now on the road. The sv'tting Is In red velour, and re¬ quires over thiu-e hour* to put It up."

Tbe oia'nlng of Ted E. Faust's Minstrels oc¬ curred at tbe Grand O^ra House. Bellefon¬ talne. ().. August Ifi. The first part Is de- sc-rlbed as a "marvel of color harmony." and the aatln costumes representing tbe sixteenth century as making a* twantlful a scene as was ever wltnestsMl on a minstrel stage. The Belle- fontalne "l**ll.v Examiner" reports tbe show a* folk>ws: The first part was all that It coaid be, and everything went along with a smoothness that was not at all Tndk'atlve of a first night. The Jokes were new and the bal- laila sung by excellent vocalists. As to tbe olio, too much can not be said, for It was ex¬ cellent. and If given alone would be w<irth the full admission prlc«'. Tbr performam'e ended with the performance of tbe Faust family of acrobat* comprising nine pt'ople. and they will win their audiences wherever they go.

T^ere bi an active probability that before very long the rotite of the I.ew Ik>ck*tader mlnatrela may be shifted so as to provide for a New York engagement of quite considerable dura¬ tion The new minstrels, organised by J. H. Ik><-ker and headed hy tbe Jocund Mr. Dock- stader, have made such an extraordinary sen¬ sation as to attract the Immediate attention of an Important metroiwlltan theater manager, and

negotlatioiis to tbe end already mentioned bare been In active progress for some days. Tbe Ikjckstader show la dea<-rlbed by those wbo have seen It as being an entirely new departure In tne Hue of minstrelsy. Hockatader'a "repeat" engagement lu Atlantic City prisluced a week's ro-elpts very mucb lu exi-ess of tbose drawn U|M>u tbe prevk>us occasion, aud established a new record fur that aaluhrluus resort. New York has had no minstrel truupe uf any mag¬ nitude in several moutbs, and mere is believed tu be an eager appetite for viands of this sort along Broadway.

Apropos of tbe opening of Uaverly's Mastodon -Miustrel* at Paterson, N. J., a correspondent says: Frum start to tlnlsb tbe audience by tbeir applause and entbuslasm, announced it a great succeos. Tbe flue overture sung while tbe cur¬ tain wus down waa composed uf a collection uf song bits, beginning wltb 81ug Me a Sung of tbe South, tbe curtain slowly rising on tbe well known refrain uf My Old Kentucky Home. In this overture, such well-known favorites aa My Starlight 8ue, Wbeu tbe Springtime Comes .\rouud, aud tbe rollicking oain song Cuonvllle's Cullud Baud were use<l. William Muure made a big hit with tbe pathetic ballad. Nobody Ever Brings I'resenta To Me, which called fur an eutbusiastic "ncore. Frank Ctmmbs, wbo bJk* lung been kM>wn as tbe letter carrier*' favorite teiHir, os be was one bimaelf for thirteen years, gave a begutiful rendering of Norton aud Brat¬ ton's Two Little. Blue Little, True Little Eyes, wbk-b was rewarded wltb thunderous applause. (Hie uf tbe biggest bits of tbe Show waa made by Billy Van, tbe star of tbe aggregation, wuu was billed as the ".kssaaalu uf 8orrow"; be sang I've Gut to Go Now, 'Cause 1 Think It's Going tu tlaln, aud If one can Judge by tbe w»i this funny sung went on tbe opening nlgbt. It certainly may be prophesied that it will be tbe <-oou bit of tbe coming season. Tbruuglevut the olio was excellent, all uf tbe memlier* are ar- tist.-!, aud It wa.s generally conceded by tbose who wer<> present that this organization la prob¬ ably one of tbe tx-st of Its kind In tbe country.

In re;>ort!ng the u|>enlng of tbe Al. G. Field Greater .Mlnatrela at Columbus, Ubio, August 3.'i. our corres|KiudeDt says: The advauce agent of a minstrel show la wont to touch bis promises lu expressions similar to those used by tbe circus man. Everything becomes in tbeir version "gorgeous." "stupendous," "be¬ wildering," etc. In -Al. G. Field's Greater .Mii.stn I |a-rfurmanc<-, wbb-h opened tbe seepon of tbe Great Northern Theatre Saturday after¬ noon and evening, tbe massiveness and lavlsli- nes* that cliaracterlzed tbe settings and enter¬ tainment make one realize that he has witnessed a imesible fulflllment of the promise* of "tbe minstrel man." The various " tra ns formal bm" scenes presented a brilliant dazzling combina¬ tion uf tbe Aurora Borealis effects; tbe other invi-stiture was In extent g pictorial quality of an unusual potency in creating tbe deslgueil illuslun. Tbe fun a* developed by tbe minstrel in its broad and yet wholesome nature, wa* provided lu abundance and interspersed at well calculated Junctures. Tbe music consisted cf tbe iKipular ballad, a selecfon from grand opera and several "uproars" In the comic line; tbe specialty acts possessed a most attractive novel¬ ty originality and intrinsic merit; the dancing and negro skits were clever tbrougbt; a nice taste was manifested in tbe costuming, the rich satins worn by tbe company In the opening part being In pleasing harmony wltb tbe sbeen-llke zsp.'ct of the gilded surroundings, and In both costume* and settings calcium lights were used skillfully and in profusion. While the individual renditloos of each of tbe vocalists revealed tbe laiesessions of fine voices by the respective sing¬ ers. yet It was the rendition by the .Al. G. Field choir of the selection from grand opera that raised the greatest amount of enthusiasm among the audiences. Matt Keefe, Beese Prosser, Tommy Donnelly, Less Falrman, J. E. Blamph- lln. Harry Shunk, Tommy Ddeir scored their usual bits in tbeir songs. This singing contin¬ gent Is a remarkably strong one. and each mem¬ ber po8sess«s some individual quality that give* hi* work especial distinction. The dancing was likewise of a high grade. Doc (Jnigley's "wield¬ ing* of his body" again attesting bis supremacy la this line. "The Nigger and the Fiddle,” a conceit dealing with the proneness of the negro to shooting craps, was productive of much laugh¬ ter, as was also "The Darktown Circus,” where the wild animals plqy havoc with the spectators, and belle the "trainer's” wonderful boasting.* of his dominion over them. Herr I.«lgn an eqiillihrist. performs the sUrtllng feat of bal¬ ancing himself on billiard cue*. The Parrento trouis' of acrobats have tricka of their own de¬ vising that are of a high grade of athletic skill, and the Woicnai Family, who have been with this organization for many seasons, still encase their musical Instruments In shapes of every-day tool* and draw pleasing music from them. Al G. Fh'Id reel* off In his inimitable fashion story after story of Brother Anderson and I’ncle Henry and elicits his usual uproars of laughter The piXMluctlons furnish a most refreshing roun<i of enterttjnment.

Throe years ago Pueblo held the first strei- falr of the Ris ky Mountain csiuntry, but a con census of latter o|ilnlon develoiied the sentl ment that tin- direct busiiiess secured did not Justify the expense; and while the event was voted a su(-(-«-ss In every- otln-r w’ay, the trades

IKsjple were dissatisfied. The strictly legit mate lines claimed that they went to consider able exiM-nse In building Usitha. etc., and the nimble dime wi-nt Into the (offers of the sa loons, restaurants, side-sliows. and similar su I^rficlal avenues. As a result of this f(-ellng no iirovisioii has been made for the entertain ment and amusement of visitors and home peo pie for the past two State Fairs, and as th, fair oHiclals have been tis, busy to iindertaki any exci-pting lln-ir din-ct work the buslncs ■ectioii was not tlironged with crowds nightiv and the lioliday spirit was alisent.
