Blanche Walsh In The Woman InThe Case, Clyde Pitch's latest play, openedat tbe Herald Square Monday night, Jan. :10.The play Is very Interesting throughout, undIn the hands of u clever company rises abovethe melodramatic that a poor or mediocre castwould make It. The play was well receivedund Mr. Fitch received several .curtain calls towhich he responded In a neat little speech. Inwhich be said that the play Is his last for sometime. It Is understood that he Is going toEurope for a rest. The acting of Miss WalshIn the new play Is worthy to sustain net repu-tation, and the applause she received at theopening performance showed that she Is up-preciatiHl by the Now York theatregolng public.Miss Dorothy Dorr, who tn the same play litone of the east side theatres would be calledthe heavy woman, plays the part of an advi-n-nnvss wi th great finesse. Several others Int in- i t impnny. such as Eleanor Carey, KathrynKeycH, Helen Ware and Florence St. Leonardplay their parts with an exhibition of reali t i lent .

The fau l t Is not with any of the players.Mr. Terry's genius is equal to almost linyrole he might assume, and his supporting coin-puny. collectively and Individually, most ex-ivlli'iit.

MISS MABEL MONTGOMERY

Success has crowned the efforts of Miss Montgomery In her chosen life work. Todayshe la the leading woman In the Players' Stock Company, one of the best and most progres-sive organizations of Its kind In the country. Miss Montgomery began her stage career underthe personal direction of Mr. A. M. Palmer and the noted stage director, Richard BarkerSo favorable was her work In a series of plays In which she appeared that she was engagedto play the part of Miss Pllklngton, with James Powers, at a Broadway theatre. She nextappeared In A Trip to Chinatown, being fea tured as the widow. The following season shewas engaged as leading woman with the Proc tor Stock Company at the Fifth Avenue TheatreNew York City, where she was a great favorite, and It was with regret that the patronsand players heard of her departure for Keith's Philadelphia theatre, where she remained untilher engagement In Chicago with the Players' Stock Company. Miss Montgomery's charmlni:voice and pleasing manner has won for her the esteem and well wishes of all who know her

headquarters at that rendezvous of prominentamusement managers and men of affairs. Itwas rumored that Clark Ball organized a reliefexpedition to dig through the snow drifts andrescue the missing showmen, bnt on secondconsideration this plan was abandoned In viewof the fact that If Mr. McCarthy felt tbeweather too severely be could put his showon and keep warm.

Frank Daniels, tn The Office Boy,begins his farewell Manhattan engagement atthe Grand Opera House, Feb. 13. After a weekat that house he goes to the Broadway Thea-tre, Brooklyn, for the final week of bis tourIn the popular musical comedy la which thelittle comedian has achieved the greatest suc-cess of his career. At the close of tbe Brook-lyn engagement rehearsals will be begun forthe production of Sergeant Brue, which willbe made early in March. Sergeant Brue, whichopened at the Strand, on June 14, 1904, his

have all reported to Edward P. Temple, generalstage director for the Tuompson & Dundy en-terprises. Grlnnell Is to take the part of TheMessenger From Mars, and Is late of theSmiling Island, where he made a hit In thecharacter of tbe policeman. Haney. also arecruit to tbe Hippodrome ranks. Is slatedfor tbe King of Mars, while Douglas Flint,lately In Siberia, will take the part of SheriffPetlgrew.

One of the innovations of the en-semble scene In the courtyard of the RoyalPalace, during the first part of the Hippodromeproduction, will be a group of twelve girls infantastic costume, perched on a l u m i n u m sup-ported by a column of water. The setting ofthe palace scene Is to be most elaborate, andand it was only after the greatest difficultythat the scheme to seat the girls on thebright metal spheres was hit upon. Tbe ballsrising and falling on a water spout are a

common sight Lu shooting galleries, and themechanical difficulties of making them supportthe weight of the girls was easily overcome byHugh S. Thompson, who is securing a patenton the Idea.

George Kdwardes' original LondonCompany has made a very marked success InHenry Hamilton and Ivan Caryll's romanticopera The Duchess of Dantzlc at Daly's Theatre. Ths piece, which is founded on thehistoric story of Mme. San Gene and Napoleon,might perhaps be properly called a muskdrama, dramatic interest dominating It mud.more strongly than any musical production everbefore presented in this country. Mr. Edwardes'company is an unusually competent one. Anoted American manager who saw the premier*-at Daly's remarked, that such a cast so talentedand well suited to every part could not bemntlc up In this countr.v. T\vo members ofthe company were highly commended by theNew York critics. Miss Evie Oreene us theDuchess and Mr. Holbrook Itllnn as Napoleon.Miss Greene is u beautiful woman, equippedwith a splendid cultivated soprano vi-ice of widerange, genuine dramatic ability und a rareconception of comedy. She captivated her audlence from his first appearance. Miss Greenemade her stage debut as a dancer at the ageof fourteen years, and at seventeen was aprovincial star In England. Five years agoshe made her first appearance in London In theromantic opera L'Amour Moullle, In which sheplayed the boy's role. Her next part in Londonwas Dolores, in the original production ofFlorodora. It Is not generally known that Ihlspiece was written for her. After the successof Florodora she entered Into a contract withMr. George Edwardes and has since playeilunder his management In the title role ofKitty Grey, Nan In The Country Girl, with aDevonshire dialect that caught the 1'iincy of[ . • m i l . M I . and in the Duchess of l luntzlc. Whenshe was selected for the Inner role it wasthought It would overweight her hoi-unse ofter youth. London has given her credit for

very sweet and iMjwerfnl singing voice,but not for tbe dramatic abl lUy she itossessed.The result was a great surprise and n wonder-ful success In support of Mr. Kdwardes' Judg-ment. Mr. I t l l n n Is a San Fnim-lscan. who wasrather caustically commented on by New Yorkcritics when he was last seen tihout six yearsago In Ib and Little Christina. lie is u suc-

as Napoleon, and bis Impersonation of theCorslcan is praised by every critic of theDuchess of Dantzlc. In personality he Is the[deal of this character, ami presents In hisnake-up the truest stage cmmtrrfel l presentmeut of an historic personage one can ixwslblymaglne. Mr. I t l l n n has evidently given deep

study to this part, for he shows In Its Interpretatlon all the mannerisms In walk, gestureand speech referred to by historical rutnmen:ators on the career of Napoleon.

'Tls an old saying that "there isuothing new nnder the sun;" but once in awhile something comes up tha t goes to showthat the old proverb IB wrong. To prove It.a new circus light has appeared on the marketthis year that bids fair to revolutionize thevery Important item of tent lighting. For yearsthe tent shows have struggled with all sortsof devices for lighting their tents and grounds,but until recently nothing satisfactory has beenfound. At last a new system has been In-vented which has been balled by the big showsand eagerly adopted. The system la composedof a generator and tank In a compact box thatsets at the base of the pole, which, by theclever use of gasoline and air, produces a vaporwhich Is conveyed to the chandelier, carryingfrom two to twelve (fas mantles. The lightproduced Is like the most brilliant sunshine,which penetrates to every spot covered by thetent. The system is so constructed that thegaa can be turned on or off at will. The valueof the new system is not entirely in the lightbut In the saving of gasoline, which each seasonwill more than pay for the whole system. Ex-haustive tests have shown that it does not useone-tenth the amount of gasoline that theordinary circus light now does; again, thesystem Is so compact that It does not takemore than one-third the space to transimrtthat the present style of light does, while theweight Is at least seventy iter cent. less. Al-most all of the big shows have adopted thesystem for the coming season. It Is beingmanufactured by Bolte & Weyer of this city.

Dorothy Russell Is again provingthat history repeats Itself, and her appearanceIn the Kohl & Castle houses Is appealing strong-ly to many people In Chicago who rememberthe early days of Lillian Russell, where herfather, Charles Leonard lived for so manyyears. As Lillian first knocked at the doorof a vaudeville theatre—Tony Pastor's famoushouse in Tammany Hall—and then ran awayto bi- married, so this pretty replica of afamous mother took the reins Into her ownhands. Only she ran away to marry youngEckstein first, and then made her plunge asa vaudeville star, profiting, or course, by herrelationship to the comic opera star. Thisdainty young lady no longer needs the use ofher mother's name; she Is succeeding on herown account. She wins the hearts of heraudiences by her charming manners, daintysongs and grace. It is rumored that MissRussell has been offered several engagementsfor next season. She ban her heart set onbecoming a character actress In the coarse oftime. Dorothy has been on the stage twelveweeks.

There was a story In one of thepapers the other day to the effect that a wellknown actor, angered at the constant andexasperatingly audible chatter of a party In abox, which chatter was also resented by theandlence, "stopped short In the middle of astrong dramatic scene and walked over to withina few feet of the box, stood glaring at thesix occupants." The immediate results werea storm of applause and the harried departurefrom the thentre of the offending party. Thisreally would seem to be a good remedy for

an evil that unfortunately is too common. Butit depends In a way upon the ability of theactor to glare. There Is an occasional boxparty that the malignant and ordinary terrorinspiring menace of a Forrest would hardlydisturb. W.MIBKN A. PATRICK.

furnished inspiration for the play; atleast the production unfolds the storyof a murder and an innocent man isarrested and tried.

Althoughit would seem altogether plausible thaiMr. Weber is entirely capable of run-ning the house and company alone,people think he should have a partner,probably on account of the fact thathe has always had one. Fields—Lew-has been spoken of—but Oh. no; hard-ly. Some say Sam Bernard, possibly.But Mr. Weber has a good thing andwe should think he would be very, verycareful about letting some one else in.

MAMA'S PAPA PRODUCED.

Joseph Hart and Carrie DeMar, inthe principal roles of Mama's Papaunder the management of William A.Hrady, were enthusiastically receivedtit Salem, N. J., Feb. 1, by a well filledhouse. Mama's Papa is one of thoserollicking varieties of musical comedywhich sets things to going. The partswere well played and success is pre-dicted for the piece. Both Mr. Hartand Miss DeMar scored personal hits.

Mama's Papa was adapted by Mr.Hart from the German. The music hasbeen supplied by A. B. Sloane. Thestory is that of a young newspaperman. Harry Blossom, who is desperate-ly in love with the daughter of a gen-eral of the U. S. Army. She lives In herfather's beautiful mansion on theupper Hudson. The general is aboutto leave for Manila on special duty.He is exceedingly anxious to see hisdaughter married before he leaves,hut will not consent to her engage-ment with Harry Blossom until hismother's sanction to the union is re-ceived. The bridegroom's sister, Daisy,goes to tind Mrs. Blossom, but hersearch is all in vain. The bridegroombecomes distracted; likewise the bride.The general excitement is intensi-fied by the sudden illness of thepet terrier of the bride-to-be, and thehousekeeper is dispatched for a veter-inary surgeon. She becomes so ex-cited that she forgets the surgeon'saddress, but she meets a man on theway of whom she inquires concerningthe physician. The man informs hertha t he is none other than Dr. MendumKootp. for whom she is seeking. Shepilots him back to the general's home,where he makes himself so obnoxiousthat he is regarded as an impertinentintruder, and finlly is thrown into theriver. In order to keep from takingcold Dr. Foote drinks such a largequantity of intoxicants that he be-comes more tiresome and obnoxiousthan ever. Mrs. Blossom at last ar-rives and announces that under be-lief that her first husband, a sea cap-tain, was dead she had married asecond time—the second husband, tothe surprise of all. being Dr. MendumFoote. In spite of Foote's offensiveand almost unbearable qualities, thefamily circle accept him as Mama'sPapa. Arrangements for the marriageof the young couple then proceed andare completed when the first husbandof Mrs. Blossom arrives. The captainconceives the idea that his wife hasmarried the general instead of thedoctor. In the meantime Capt. Blos-som has been in an army hospital, andwhile in a state of delirium he is thevictim of a mock marriage with aFilipino maiden. She and her reallover follow him to this country anduse every means to extort some moneyfrom the captain. These various rela-tionships and entanglements are thenunraveled, but not until a large amountof comedy is brought out. The doctor

If not a pretentious one. Successcame from the start of the continuous, althoughthe room which had been dignified by thename "theatre" had been enlarged again andagain to make room for the hoped for growingattendance. It was In this place that he In-augurated the "continuous." Twelve yearsafter his humble Invasion of Boston, Mr. Keithopened the Gaiety Theatre In Providence. Ineach of these he established his vaudeville per.formances with the assistance of his competentgeneral manager, Mr. E. F. Albee. Tbe actswere more elaborate and retained the Keithquality of cleanliness. Business boomed con-tinuously anil Mr. Keith soon began to reachfarther. Year after year he acquired newtheatres In the cities of the east, until nowhis circuit of vaudeville houses Is unquestion-ably the most magnificent In the world, Includ-ing as It does his million dollar theatres InBoston and Philadelphia, and his other housesIn New York, Pittsburg, Buffalo, Cleveland,and London with booking affiliations from Port-land,' Maine, to Chicago, both north and sonthand In the middle states.

His first visit to any show wa» madeat the age of fifteen when he drove fifteenmiles to a circus, but he never saw the Insideof a theatre until after he was twenty-one,and only on rare occasions until embarking Inthe business personally. His first ventures werewith small 'traveling room exhibits, consistingof animals and Inanimate curiosities, glassblowers, illusions, etc. Although each trip wasfinancially disastrous for a number of years,compelling his return to smaller ventures eachtime in order to replete his exchequer, Mr.Keith never lost heart. The fall of 1882 foundhim ID Boston with a small capital and lot*of ambition. In January 1883 Mr. Keith startedhis fourth room show in company with a partnerwith whom he continued but two weeks. Twoweeks later Mr. Keith started again withanother partner, who remained with him forthirteen months, and he then went alone untilhi* funds were exhasnted and he was obligedtn call In a third partner to secure a capitalof $2.300. The two preceding partners hadonly <-ontributed to the business equally withMr. Keith. After appearance of the thirdpartner, business dragged until the advent ofthe continuous performance of July 6, 1885,since which time It has never seen a poor day.Mr. Keith, as is well known, was the orgina-tor of the continuous form of entertainmentwhioh has been copied from Maine to California.In broadening his field of operation, from the

Mr. J. A. Darnaby writes as follows:"1 beg that yon correct through your valuablecolumns the impression formed by some ofthe managers with whom I held time for MIseMary Atheling. Several managers have writ tenstating that it was the Impression I hod can-celed their bouses under a misrepresentation andwas filling time elsewhere with Miss Atheling;and, while this was my privilege, I wish tostate that It Is not a fact. Miss Atheling signeda five years' contract wi th me just previousto the Iroquois fire, which necessitated ourCanceling much of onr time and made It nn-udvlsahle to open In the face of such sentimentand the compulsory closing of many out of townhouses. During the summer season I agreedto the arrangement now existing with Mr.riolden, which saved the lady from censure insigning two contracts while one existed forthe same period. I was again compelled tocancel her time which led many to believe theservices of Miss Atheling were not at my dis-posal. I wish to state a contract now exists,and that Miss Atheling will appear next seasonunder my management, providing a play Issecured. Miss Atheling has from the beginningbeen anxious to open under my management,and my canceling was what I believed the bestfor all concerned, hence my past record withthose managers familiar with me and mymanner of doing business should suffice. Iwish to state that I am In no way interestedIn Mr. Holden's excellent production in whichMiss Atheling is appearing, and have nothingwhatever to do with the bookings."

JAMESTOWN MAY HOLD TERCEfl-TENARY.

A plan is in progress to hold in1907 in Jamestown. Va., a celebrationof the three hundredth anniversary ofthe landing of Capt. Newport's pion-eers near what is Newport News andthe founding of Jamestown in 1607.The plans for the celebration are byno means complete, but Gen, b'it/.hughLee is working hard to bring mattersto a head. No period In Americanromance is richer In dramatic tragedythan around the time when James-town, which remained the capital ofthe Old Dominion for half a century,was founded. The celebration. It isstated, will not be held at the site ofthe ancient city of Jamestown, whichis thir ty- two miles from the mouth ofthe river, but across the bay fromFort Monroe at the point where Capt.Newport landed. It wi l l be a celebra-tion upon land and water, naval man-euvers taking an important part inthe celebration.

He has se-cured several public concessions andhas Just completed contracts for theerection of magnificent and cosilystructures to house his attractions.Chief among his concessions are Jeru-lta1«m. H*y Pnr»p.

French Cafe, Trained Wild AnimalShow, and also Bazars for Concession-aires on the outside, at the entranceto the grounds. Mr. Jabour's venturesare backed by the Jabour ConcessionCompany of New York and Portlandwith unlimited resources. Barringcataclysms, seismic disturbances 01the interposition of Providence, Mr.Jabour will reap a golden harvest thisyear, for he has the choicest locationsand the swellest attractions that ap-peal to the popular fancy.

The attendance at the fair willnatural ly be large as all the transcon-t inenta l railroad lines and boat llne.-and other potent influences are working zealously for the success of thrpresent stupendous undertaking.

The northwest needs developmentwhich rebounds to the betterment oithe whole country. All are InterestedThe success of the Lewis and ClarkCentennial at Portland Is assured.

A measure which will cause no lit-t l e disturbance in theatrical circlesin the Empire state, even if it doesnot ultimately pass, was Introduced Inthe legislature at Albany, Feb. 3, byAssemblyman Wagner of the 30thManhattan district. To quote our cor-respondent:

The bill seems to he alined either at theproprietors of theatres personally or else atbenefiting the public, by making It a misde-meanor to sell theatre tickets In a number ofwnys In which they are now sold. The bill Is.of course, drastic. It makes it a misdemeanor,punishable by a tine of not exceeding $500 or*lx months' Imprisonment, or both, for "a per-son occupying, o w n i n g or controlling a building,room, park inclopure or other place, which Isopen to the public at stated periods or other-wise, who nsks. demands or secures from anyperson for admission thereto a price in excessof that demanded or received from otherpersons for the same privileges or in excess ofthe advertised rates therefor, or discriminates.-icalnst any person or class of persons in theprli-e for admission thereto."\Th» same penalty is Bred fur any person who

"establishes an agency, eab-offlce or other placeat which tickets of admission are sold at agreater price than at tbe box office or otbergeneral office or place at which tickets aresold, in excess of the advertised prices therefor,or directly or indirectly, by extending privilegesin the selection of seats, sharing in the proceedsof the sale of seats, accepting tbe return ofunsold seats, or in any manner aids, abets orconnives or participates in the sale or resaleof tickets by any person or at any place, fora price In excess of the regular price at whichsuch a ticket or tickets of tbe same class aresold, or In excess of the advertised rate there-for."

Finally the net is drawn tightly by the fol-lowing application of the penalty to any person"who refuses to sell on demand a ticket foran unsold seat at the regular advertised rate,unless the seat has. in good faith, been re-served for an intending purchaser at the regularadvertised rate."

The ticket speculators (and by theway they still keep on arresting themin New York) will find their increas-ing difficulties multiplied by this newmeasure. It is doubtful If speculatingwill ever be entirely done away with.The railroad ticket scalper still sur-vives in spite of all the restrictionsthat hem him round about. But thereis not very much money in the busi-ness now and it languishes. That willbe the end of the sidewalk speculatorin theatrical tickets. It may be afaroff. but it is bound to come.

SAYS IT IS CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY

At the instance of Mr. James S. Met-calfe, dramatic critic who has beendenied admittance to several NewYork theatres, District Attorney Jer-ome will examine several members ofthe Association of Theatrical Managersto Inquire, In a preliminary way, asto whether there has been criminalconspiracy on the part of the man-agers in denying admittance to thecritic. Mr. Metcalfe believes that hehas discovered a penal statute whichhe thinks exactly fits the case. Thisstatute makes it unlawful for a personto prevent another from exercising alawful trade or calling, or doing anyother lawful act, by force, threats orIntimidation. The statute makes it amisdemeanor, punishable by imprison-ment for one year, a fine of $500, orboth.

AN EDITOR'S VIEW.

The following is an editorial clippedfrom the El Paso (Tex.) EveningNews, of Jan 28:

A form flashing In midair, turning carelesslyon the swinging rings, leaping through spacewith a laugh, swinging safely on the elusivecircles with a smile, tbe personification ofhealth, strength and manhood; taking his lifeIn Ills hands to satisfy the hungry maw of theinsatiate public, staking bis body on a thinliar as he spins dizzily around—alive with thevery Joy of his strength and power—that wasAlfred Jeffries two months ago. Always asmile for his wearied comrades, always a softword.

Today a little group of men and womengathered sadly at tbe bier where lies the tblnand emaciated body whose flight was wont tobring shudders and hoarse exultant cries fromthe people below. Alfrwl Jeffries, aerlallst.who knew neither fear nor danger.

"Poor old Jeff." «av< one. "Poor old Jeff."

and a man who risks life and limb twice dallywith a defiant smile turns away with a tearin bis eye.

Alfred Jeffries. Roman ring performer withthe Nat. Retss Carnival Company, who died atHotel Dleu here from an attack of pneumoniacontracted during the recent tour in Mexico,was hurled from Carr's undertaking purlorsthis afternoon. Several members of the com-pany attended the funeral. Mr. Jeffries waswell known on the road and every care wasgiven him by Mr. Ilelss. The Ixxly Kill lieshipped east.

That's the way the reporters put it. andthat's the way ihe world read it—and forget It.And the confetti strewn, gaily thronging, laugh-ing crowd will go on the same and applaud thedaring man who treads on a thread in nildald,and the woman who, swathed in flames, plungesfrom on high and the man that loops the loop—all smiling a brave face while the publiclooks on.

But—1'oor Jeff. The ending of a wanderer'sexistence: danger his livelihood, success his lifeblood—far away from home and friends, inthe midst of a painted fairyland—dead on theroad.

And his comrades soothing his last hours,watching with a brother's tenderness bis dyinggasps—these nomads of public amusement withdimmed eyes and tightened lips look on allthat remains of Alfred Jeffries, aerlallst.

These men that laugh and joke are a tenderhearted race. The love of change runs in theirveins—the desire for the maelstrom of thecrowd—but when one of their number falls,from the owner down to the stake driver, coniesa hush and strident toues are softened.

"Poor old JetT." says a choking voice. "Poorold Jeff." says a sob. And then the crowdcomes wi th their demand, with their eagernessfor danger: and the softened voice "spiels"harshly and the mini brushed his hand acrossIlls face and diim-eg lightly up the wire—andthe crowd applauds.

But one act Is missed. The void Is smoothedover; the spieler has an unspoken cry and ihenext act comes on. Died on the road.

HISTORICAL HOUSE DOOMED.

It is said that the historic housewhere, according to tradition, Julietresided when she was wooed by Romeo,is In danger of collapse. The wallsare cracked and it is feared that thestructure is doomed, although work-men are endeavoring to save the same.The house Is situated in Verona, Italy.

VAUDEVILLE HOUSES IN THE WEST.

A Western Amusement Manager Writes ofThem for The Billboard.

The steady growth and spread of the cheapervaudeville houses from the extreme west tothe middle eastern states is noted by westernmanagers of these theatres. The Inception ofthe ten cent vaudeville theatre was fosteredat San Francisco, and the Instant success withwhich they met was no doubt a complete sur-prise to the originators. (irauman. of SanFrancisco, is credited with the first cheap, thea-tre. Engaging a vacant store In the heartof the shopping district he fitted up a parlortheatre with a moving picture machine as theprincipal feature. He gave four acts to roundout the program. On week days he gave anafternoon and night performance. On SundaysIt was a series of [>erforniances. each lastingsome twenty minutes, and giving as high astwenty shows during the day. With Grauman'ssuccess other houses in various portions of thecity sprung up like mushrooms, until at presentthere must be from ten to a dozen of theseplaces In San Francisco. Opposition naturallycaused the adding of more acts until at present,from the giving of four numbers and the picturemachine, the managers are giving as high asten acts. A complete circuit of a chain ofvaudeville theatres now extend from the Mis-souri river to the Pacific ocean.

The inception of this class of entertainmentwas a great boon to the unknown vaudevilleactor, and thousands were given work steadilywhere before they had a hard struggle of itto get any sort of consecutive time. From SanFrancisco the vaudeville house was soon dupli-cated In the smaller Interior towns, until nownearly every town of any size west of the riverhas a theatre devoted to vaudeville.

In San Francisco recently, several of thesehouses were closed by order of the Fire Commis-sioners, as the flimsily built and hastily con-structed places of amusement were a menaceto tbe patrons. In many of the interior townslittle theatres were built and made to conformto the stringent flre regulations. These housesseem to have only hurt the gallery portionof the high-class vaudeville theatres, and Itis the consensus of opinion out here, amongthose who have watched affairs, that the tencent vaudeville parlor theatre has seen thezenith of Its success, and It will only be amatter of a short while before this style ofentertainment will quietly fade into forgetful-ness In San Francisco the business hasdwindled to less than half It formerly enjoyed.

In order to make the venture a paying one,it is necessary to have a series of these bouses.With so many managers in the field there Isnot enough talent of account to go around: andthough the price of admission Is low thepublic do not take that Into consideration hutdemand acts of some merit.

Western managers do not believe the venturewill meet with much success In the east. Therepertoire companies playing to ten, twentyand thirty cents present plays fairly well acted,and in the intermissions ^tive several vaudevillenumliers. so buyers of bargains in tbe amuse-ment line can see both play and vaudevilleinterpretations for the one admission. The aver-age manager of these western vaudeville thea-tres is not burdened with over-Intelligence, asharp conscience or a sense of too much businesshonor, so the better class of vatidevllllans whothought they would make up by long consec-utive engagements by the lesser salary offered,were disappointed upon finding that his en-gagements are limited to four weeks workand several weeks layoff.

These actors will make the trial but once,will Jump east at the very first opportunity andit will tie long before they will cheapen theiracts again. Acts of a circus nature do not

enhance tbeir valne by playing these bousesfor, by appearing in all tbe towns both largeand small from Chicago to Frisco and fromSt. Paul to San Diego, they have but l i t t l e -value to tbe circus manager who contemplatesan extei.ded tour of the west. The better clasi-of performers are <|iilcl[ to appreciate this, andthe ten '•••"! vaudeville manager Is finding it-harder nud harder to get acts that have merl'1enough to please their patrons.

Over Hie Hue of the Northern Pacific R. Kun amunlug condition has resulted on aceounrof the present success of the cheap theatre-Managera or combination bouses ptaylug touringcompanies have resented tbe Inroffdtf upon theirpatronage by the ten cent vaudeviBe house, amiare retadlatlng hy canceling the i-JaD-cIass organizatli'iw and turning their swett theatresinto a house devoted to the cheaper form oientertalniuriit . They hope to surfeit tbtW publie with HI-II that are IKIUIU) to be disappointingami so dUgust amusement patrons that ttieywill gladly turn to the high classorganization) coming their way.

WORDS, WORDS, WORDS.

This has been a strenuous weekJohn Moore, the "globe trotting postersalesman." was In town and there werr"dutch lunches" and "plain lunches"and "wine dinners" and sundry decoc-tions of "Scotch and 'Polly" to betaken care of until everything of aserious nature had to be relegated toa back seat till the last minute, whenthere was a grand rush to get thestuff In shape before the last formclosed. And. yes; we almost forgotto mention that we had the exceeding-ly laborious task of translating thelatest contribution of that Eminemand Able Apologist of the Board ofDirectors, punishable In the "OfficialOrgan" for February. Fortunately wewere successful in securing the ser-vices of several lexicographers whosucceeded in analyzing the more ab-struse passages. After due considera-tion these specialists In words of sixsylables told us that it was simplya case of "words, words, words."

• * *We will not attempt to conceal the

fact that we were greatly disappointedwhen we got the lexicographers' re-port, as we had hoped the Able Apolo-gist would have some plausible ex-planation for the unaccountable actsof the three mc>n to whom he Is re-sponsible and who hnve. to a certainextent, placed their reputations In hiskeeping. But all he gave his expec-tant readers was "hot air."

• * *"When the Devil was sick the Devil

a saint would be," but beneath themonks hood and gown of pretendedloyalty to the Association will s t i l lbe found the horns, the cloven hoofand barbed tail of His Sutuiiilc Ma-jesty, who accords loyalty to no manor principle, and is essentially an op-portunist and a time-server. There-fore, in the face of the undented cir-cumstances, the attempt of the AbleApologist to throw sand in the eyesof his readers is an admission of guilt,and all the "billingsgate. blackguard-Ism and downright falsehood" that hehas injected Into his lame apology wil lnot be sufficient to take the thoughtsof his readers away from the mainquestion, the "Secondary Franchise."

* # *It should not be forgotten that this

is a question which has nothing to dowith the peculiarities of individuals.It is a question of principle—the mostImportant principle of the AssociatedBillposters and Distributors, which hasbeen assailed by men high in thecouncils of the organization. It shouldbe plain that such acts can not beJustified by calling names. The re-sponsibllty for that act of treason tothe Association and Its members liesnot with The Billboard, or its editor,who was sufficiently alert to discoverand expose the plot, but with the menwho conceived It. The attempt of I he"official organ" to discredit the factsalready published and to shield theoffenders on the plea of "loyalty" is.In reality, an act of disloyalty to theAssociation which makes its existencepossible, and proves It nothing morethan the truckling mouthpiece of thedominent faction in the Board.

* * *Attempt Is made to have It appear

that Mr. Pratt was responsible for theconcealment of the report of the NewTork Situation Committee. This maybe true, and if it is It is the only actIn connection w i t h the whole matterthat is in the least discreditable to Mr.Pratt. It is more than likely that theshock he received when the sum ofIniquity was made plain to him, ledhim to desire to conceal the lowtreachery of the men who are hispartners in business. Mr. Pratt wasnot responsible for the motion to post-pone the entire matter, but was pre-pared to try It to a finish. Hadthe proposition ever gone to a voteat that meeting It would have beenfinished, because the Board of Direc-tors Is composed for the most part ofhonorable, intel l igent business men.The Billboard doubts if there could befound among Its twenty-three oddmembers three men, other than tlioie

-

Committee, who would soil their handswith such dirty work.

• e *

By all mean<< let the report of theVew York Situation Committee beirlnted. If the "official organ" doesiot do so "at the proper time" Thebillboard will. Then It will be seenthat all we have said on the subjectis true: that the committee did at-tempt to force the firm of A .Van-Beuren & Co. to do something it didnot want to do. and recommended thata franchise be given to a competingrtrm because the firm of A. VanBeuren.4 Co. could not be coerced. There younave It In a nut shell.

• » *Our esteemed friend, Mr. Peter P.

Steketee, of Muskegon, Mich., wroteup post haste the other day to stoplending him The Billboard. His sub-scription had Just expired. He saidlhat he had taken The Billboard forthe billposting news It had contained,and that he would renew his subscrip-t ion when It commenced to publishthe news again. We couldn't helpwrit ing Peter to tell him that we weresorry our opinion as to what was newsdiffered from his. but that we wouldhave to continue along the presentlines so long as there was anythingdoing. We also called Peter's attentionlo our premium brush proposition, andpointed out to him where he wouldsave money by subscribing direct andgetting a tine brush Instead of buyingThe Billboard at the news stand at (encents a copy.

• e *Speaking about our premium brush

proposition to billposters, we can't re-sist saying that we have exhausted aone-gross order and made a big holein a second gross of brushes duringthe past month. Its a cinch that ourbrushes have made a great hit withthe billposters. Couldn't help It—Lestbrush Klder & Jenks makes.

John early gained the Sonhrlqnet"i. 'loi.e Trotter." which st i l l c l ing"By reason uf his troitln' 'roan*

Though England long has claimed himWe Yankees can't forgetThat he drat woo his spurs with ui»;And hence we love him yet.

Of course John appreclsted this little compli-ment all right, but when he turned to the menuwe had him guessing. You know. If you havesat down for a few hours "talkee-talkee" withJohn that he Is strong on "Coster" and canhand out enough Parlsan French to keep offa drought. He has been about In Uermanjsome .but when we put him up against th ishe side-stepped:

"Oh. I say: that's bally good," John ob-served, as he scanned the list. "I can seeschnapps on there all right, and ScbweltxerKaese. I guess I ' l l make out." Juat then thewaller brought along the schnapps ami Johngot his; then he said, " 'ere's the sluie t' yowami many of ihnm."

But the lunch was really One all the waydown and the parly thoroughly enjoyed them-selves for nearly two hours, winding up thelunch w i t h an a t t emp t to smoke clilna Dutchpipes which were passed and became souvenirsof the oi-caslon.

After the lunch the entire parry visited theortlc-e of the John Chapman Company In Cln-einnat l . then the Donaldson Lithograph Co's.. . h i n t and the office of The John F. oi l inglilll|Hjsllng Co. al Newport. Ky.

A well known WesternPark man said of It, "1 have vlsltrd the principal amusement parks of the country, and have paid particular attention to Ilelter Skelters,and had made up my mind that I did not want one In my park, but after seeing yours 1 want one. and one just l ike yours." A ride on ourHelter Skelter Is l ike (lying: there is no exposure, and you arl>e from it just as you would from a chair. It is as smooth as vlass, semi-cir-cular In shape, and has the proper pitch and rurves for a d e l i g h t f u l ride. Over GOO 000 people rode our Heltrr Skelter at the Chutes Park inChicago last season without a scratch Build one In your park, opeiate It free afternoons for children, and watch your business grow. Wecan f u r n U h you with complete plans and specification!), and supply you • Ith an elegant one-sheet pictorial poster (copyrlghteu) with anylettering you desire Write for sample posters and prices. We can f u r n i s h yon with complete plans and specifications for the latest im-proved Figures To'mggan Slide. These plan* cover every detail, i nc lud ing cars, castings, etc.. and are so plain that any Intelligent me-chanic can work to them. You can save from $3.500 to $4.000 in construction and have the safest, smoothest, anrt most fascinating slide everconstructed. We have the only complete plans In existence. Write for prices and names of parties who have used our plans. ThN com-pany now owns and controls the patents on the Kaizenjammer Castle, and has the sole right to build and license this amusement. The so-called Katzenjammer Castles operated upon the Bowery at Coney Island, the I ' ike at the World's Fair in St. Louis. Kansas City, and othersouthern cities, hare but one point of similarity. 1. e , the name. They were not bui l t by us. nor under or af t i r our plans. «nd are no more tobe compared wi th a real Katzenjammer C astle than a wheelbarrow w i t h an automobile We are closely watching these imitators, and anyInfringements of our patents w i l l be vigorously prosecuted.
