To All Members of the Aoting Profession
Mr. George M. Cohan, an actor, the son of an actor, has spoken. This actor, who before the strike wholly
failed to actively help his fellow members in their strug¬
gle for better conditions and who during the strike tried
to break up the Equity by forming the Fidos, now, after
months of silence, undertakes again to advise his fellow
actors. He sees today that this managerial puppet child
he tried to rear for the purpose of misleading his brother
actors is dying of lack of attention and so decided to make
one more effort.
No more conceited statement than his has, we ven¬
ture to think, ever been issued. It teems with “I, I, I”; “I have done this for the actor” and “I got that for the
actor,” whereas, as a matter of fact, he never got a single
thing for the actor; the alter got it for himself. The proof
of this is that he was neVer interested in an Association I
of actors until they went put on strike. If his heart had been really with us why did he not try to adjust our
wrongs beforehand, during the many months when we
argued and argued about them, but no, at that time he
never thought we had the| courage to fight, but as soon as
he learned his mistake Ifc was begged, by some of the
managers, to found anotljer organization—^that old trick which labor is so often u|) against—begged to found an
organization which would appeal .to the weaklings. He
was willing to, but before!so doing he felt it policy to re¬
sign from the Managers’i Association, though everyone
understood that he was working in its interest just the
same whether he was a jmember or not. “ASK ANY MEMBER OF THE P. A. IF THIS IS NOT THE
TRUTH!”
As soon as it becamJ apparent that ”Equity” was winning in spite of his efforts and those of others he of-
^ fered the Fidelity League $100,000, to be followed by
another sum of the same famount and then another, but
even this did not weaken the ranks of the actors, so in
a last desperate effort he (jame forward with certain con¬
cessions on the basis of a new contract, and the mana-
gers gladly granted them, knowing that if the Fidelity,
could be made the guardian there would be no power to
enforce these concessions. They were willing to promise
the earth so long as the “iFidelity” was made the guar¬
dian of the actor. )
During the strike we didn’t want the “closed shop”
and we don’t want it now.^ The “Equity Shop” is NOT
the Closed Shop in that it does not limit our member¬
ship, and, consequently, bars no one from earning a living
on the stage. Monster meetings have been held in New York and Chicago, and the “Equity Shop’* has been unanimously approved at them. Seeing the handwrit¬
ing on the wall, some of the managers have again called’ on George M. Cohan. They know they can always de¬
pend on him.
He says that the affairs of “Equity” are in the hands of a few self-chosen leaders. That is untrue, and he knows
it. He insults every member of “Equity” when he says
it. Our resignations are in our members* hands at any
moment they ask for them.
Cohan says he is a member of the “Actors* Fidelity League, the actors’ ‘Open Shop’ Association.” He might
better have said that he was a member of the paternalistic
organization SUBSIDIZED by those who are interested in keeping the actor down. How proud the members of this League must be to be fed by their employers. Well are they termed “Fidos.”
The theatrical world well knows how much or how
little truth there is in Mr. Cohan’s statements. He says he called in Mr. Augustus Thomas, HE called in Mr. Au¬
gustus Thomas. He could call in anybody he chose, but
it was up to Equity to decide whether the man he says he called was acceptable.
He further says that we were about to cave in or break into factions and that Mr. Augustus Thomas
brought us to our senses. We were never mord power¬
ful that at that moment, nor were our senses better
functioning. Mr. Augustus Thomas simply called on your Executive Secretary and asked if the Actors* Equity
^sociation would consent to a meeting with the under¬ standing that a settlement was absolutely in sight. We consented and the meeting took place and the Basic
Agreement was the result.
Mr. Cohan says the “Equity Shop” spells ruin to the Actors’ Profession. The old cry! Every constructive
move the A. E. A. has made has been stigmatized by Mr. Cohan as “ruin to the Actors’ Profession.” He announced
from the house tops when we affiliated with the A. F. of L.
that he would never produce another play. He changed
his mind with great financial and some artistic success —IT DID NOT spell “Ruin.”
Mr. Cohan winds up by wishing us all a Merry Christ¬ mas and a Happy New Year, which strongly reminds us
of the kind words of the wolf to Little Red Riding Hood.

Chlca^. Dec. S.—So now it*s the In- tHuaUonaJ'Amerlcan Association of Fairs and Expositions.
It was a dramatic moment when the official announcement of the merging of the 'American Association of Fair-s. and Expositions and the International Association of Fairs and Expositions was made at the banquet of the Ameri¬ can Association in the Hotel Sherman last night.
Thursday afternoon President B. M. Davison, of the American Association, was told by a representative of The Billboard that a committee from the International Association was under¬ stood to be on the way to the Hotel Sherman to confer with the American "body relative to a merger of the two societies. When word came that the
^ committee had arrived President Da¬ vison immediately appointed a special committee to confer with the visitors.
^\^len the committee returned a mo¬ tion was passed that the president ap¬ point a committee with plenary t>otvers, it being understood that the other asso¬ ciation would do likewise. Messrs, iirown, chairman; Danlelsun, SUiplln, Remey and Husawurin were appointed
• from the American As.suclation, and
immediately wenl into session with a similar body from the IntemationaL
The rules of the American Associa¬ tion were then suspended on vote, and the election of officers deferred until the committee could be heard from.
Just before the diners at the Ameri¬ can body’s banquet got down to that department of the business the com¬ mittee filed into the banquet room and Chairman Brown announced that the report was ready.
“The union of the tw’O associations has been consummated.” said Chair¬ man Brown, and an uproar of applauso followed his statement
“The name of the amalgamated body,” added the chairman, “is to bo Tho Iniemational-Amerlcan Associa¬ tion of Fairs and Expositions. Wo liave adopted tho other body’s by-laws and constitution. Tiiei’o arc to bo no proxy votes. The dues havo been in¬ creased to $100 in tlio United States and tho dues of Canadian members will be $35. Tho officers are to bo; J. W. Russwurm.

unanimously adopted, and, on motion, the American Association of Fairs and Expositions adjourned sine die. Mr. Davison, the retiring president, then paid a tribute to the men who made the amalgamation possible, and pre¬ dicted a brilliant future for the com- btuation.
A motion was passed to invite the ^nembers of the other body to the ban¬ quet

COMA’S Neatest MEETING
Chicago, Dec. 3.—The seventh annual meeting of COMA was called to order at 11 a.m. Monday, November 2i>, by President W. S. Donaldson, of New York, at the Morrison Hotel. The president’s address and the secretary’s report brought forth the first enthu¬ siasm of the meeting, and from then on it was an endless chain of good thoughts and better action by all in attendance. It was shown that during the seven years of COMA’S existence much had been accomplished, and that COMA wa.s the only organization of showmen that has lived in spite of its many criticisms; has not only won tho admiration of its own showmen, but has won the undivided approval of tho various railroad administrations.

Pottstown, Pa., Dec. 3.—One of the most important deals of the year in the carnival business was consummated yesterday when John Bninen pur- cliased, thru the Sibley Show Service offices, the famous Col. Francis Ferari Shows, in their entirety. Included In the sale were fifteen cars and four wagon fronts. It is unofficially re¬ ported that the purchase price was $20,000.

The two shows will be combined under the title of the Mighty Doris Shows and Francis Ferari Shows Combined. Mr. Brunen will use only the very best of everything from each of the shows, bis idea being, not to have the largest show in America, but the best in everything, using as a motto: “Where quality predominates.”
George H. Coleman has been engaged as general agent, while Carl Tumquist will be general superintendent. Both have been with the Ferari aggregration for years in the capacities mentioned. Another engagement is Ralph W. Smith, with his rides.
John Brunen, or “Honest” John, as be is familiarly called, started in a very small way a few years ago, and by strict application to business, the hard¬ est kind of hard work, and with the valuable assistance of Mrs. Brunen, has become one of the commanding figures in the outdoor amusement field.
In the early part of this year Mr. Brunen sold one of his shows (lie had two complete companies at that time) and the other one he rented to an op¬ erating company. He then purchased a beautiful home in Riverside, N. J., at which place he has lived the life of a country gentleman, until the call of tho Francis Ferari Shows yesterday.
The Francis Ferari Show’s were founded by the late Col. Francis Ferari over twenty years ago, and havo been running continuously and successfully ever since.
At the sale, besides Mr. Brunen, W. L. "Wyatt, who has managed the shows for the past few years, and M. K. Sib¬ ley, was Harry C. Mohr, carnival mana¬ ger.

ment bonse, and firemen reported that stairs
were missing on two of the five floors, the
tenants being forced to depend on an auto¬

into a twin stodio bnilding next door.

landing of the building. The bodies of Mm.

and vaudeville headliner, and wife of Max Hoff¬
mann, director or the on-hestra of the Ziegfeld
"Midnight P“ollc.’’ The residence of the Hoff¬
manns Is directly in the rear of the ill-fated

Hia great professional boast was his abllltF
to supply on short notice any kind of an ani¬
mal. domestic or wild, for any prodnetion. Dr.
Potter was a recognized antborlty upon the
treatment of diseases and Injuries to wild and
uncommon animals, and hia advice in such mat¬
ters was widely sought by the controlling
bodies of zoological gardena. Several years ago
he accomplished the novel operation of filling
the teeth of an elephant nsed at the Hippo¬
drome, and less than a year ago the curator
of the Regent's Park Zoological Gardens In
London wrote to Dr. Potter reqnesting that he
give the technique of this operation. The In¬
formation supplied by Dr. Potter was used at
the London xoo and several elephants which
were suffering from decayed teeth, contracted
aa the result of improper feeding daring the
war, were treated. Dr. Potter trained the
horses for the first Iiondon production of "Ben-
Hur" and accompanied the production to Lon-
dim, where ft was seen by the then king, Ed¬
ward VII, who personally congratnlated him
upon his arrangement of the mechanism -which
made it possible for horses, running at full
speed, to he seen on the stage. This same
mechanism or modification of it was used in
several productions at the Hippodrome.
T>r. Potter was horn In New York City and
was 49 years of age at the time of hit death.
He Is survived by-his widow and two sisters.
Funeral services will be held Sunday, December
5. at Campbell’s Funeral Church.
Of the five pereons who lost their lives in
the fire two were connected with the theatrical
world. They were Betty Jones, wife of Bobl'y
Jones, a dancer in a supper club in liondon, .and

FORM NEW EXCHANGE
New York, Dec. 6.—With William Fox as
their ostensible New York ally, the Shuberts
are practically set to make their entry Into the
bic-tinie Taudeville producioK field. Actual
booking operations In the metropolitan district,
as far as can be learned, will begin about the first of the year. The routing of acta in the
Shubert out-of-town houses, however, will not
get under way tor several montha to come.
Arthur Klein, who formerly handled bIg-tIme
bookings for the Keith office, has been named as
booking manager for the oppoaition circuit.
When teen early this week by a Billboard re¬
porter, Klein would neither confirm nor deny
that be bad already signed contracts with the
Shuberts. lie aswrted. however, that the Shu¬
berts were “dickering" with him and that when
the new circuit gets under way he would in ail
probability ass ime the Job of chief booker.
The reported afflilaliun of William Fox and
the Shuberts comes as no great tairprise to those
familiar with the vaudeville eituation here,
fur. In the main, the Fox bouses are playing in
u|>i)ositiun to the Keith-controlled string of Muss
Taudeville theaters. To top this off there is a
well aruundod report that Fox’s relations with
the Keith Booking Exchange have been, and still
are, far from friendly.
It is said that there are conntlesa initances
of acta having been "pulled out” of the Fox
houses, particularly the Audubon, by the Keith
office, under threat that to play the Fox Time
would be in opposition to the best interests of
the Keith Booking Exchange. This is given as
one of the reasons why many of the Fox houses
never advertise their Idlls from week to week.
It is also known to tliose “on the inside" that
William Fox some time ago entered into an
arrangement with the Shuberts wlicre’i.v he
would play the latter’s headline acts in his
metropolitan bouses. Eddie Cantor recently ap¬
peared on two bills at the Audubon, and Georgie
■Price, who completes n seven-week tour of the
Fbi Time next week, is scheduled to play re¬
turn engagements in all of the Fox bouses.
»ppcn and Armstrong, another Shubert head-
ine rombiustion, are making their third trio
around the Fox Circuit. Altbo Lee Shubert was extremely reticent
When interviewed by The Billboard, It was
learned from those in close touch with the
Shubert office that developments In connection
with the new circuit are moving apace. Plans

MAKE YOUR OWN PROSPERIH By E. M. WICKES
Picture yourself all dressed up and standing at a beach, with the waves tearing In, iM-nt mi l>o\\ling over l•v^•rylIllng in tliolr pstli. You kn-iw Just liow long .vou'd stand there, provided you hadn’t been fighting the Kighteenth Amendment for the past few hours. As soon as you'd see llie wave beaded your way you’d get out of Ita way, and wisely, too. And if you should see someone stand on the beach until the wave hit lilm you'd call him a dumb-bell and say It served him right. Everyone else on the beach would say the tame.
Well, look out! You may be a candidate for the dumb-bell department and not know It. There’s a big wave coming your way. It may not lo»ik like a wave to you. but It's a wave Just the same, and more destructive tlian the one at the beach. It's a wavs of pessimism, and unless you Jump in time you’ll get bowled over—and liard.
Today the average person thinks that business—ineluding the sb>’w business—is in for a terrible slump. He talks, dreams and looks for depression. He conveys the same idea to friends. They do likewise. And. as a result, this little ripple has grown to a great big wave, bowling over miliiona with their optimistic and prosperity ideaa, and bringing worry and discomfort to business and the home. And it is Just this sort of an idea, not actual conditions, that usually causes a slump in business and baseball. It’s the power of suggestion applied the wrong way.
You don’t have to be a spiritualist to figure out what would have happened had every American soldier who went to France had the idea that Germany would win. Hut he didn't. He could see nothing but Victory, knowing at the same time he would have to put up a fight for it.
And this is the way tA look at future business. Like Victory, it’s there to be had. People still have plenty of money—this Is the richest country in the world—and they're going to s|>end it, but they've become a little more diocriinlnating. They want real value fur the dollar. So if you can offer value you’ll get the business and the money. You'll be so busy you won’t have time to think of slumps.
Several montlis ago one very optimistic elisp produ<ed a play on Broadway. It ran for two months and lost money. At the same time be had another on the road, losing more than a tliuusuud a week. Instead of thinking that the show business bad gone to the bad. he sent the Broadway show on the road and put the road show on Broadway. Now both shows are making money. He simply shifted his wares to tlie piop«>r markets and made his own pr'sperity, lie can’t see anything but suci-esa. And if you can keep clear of the pessimistic wave «-oming your way, and offer real value to the proi»er markets, you can maks your own pniapertty, too.

Pittsburg, Pa., Dee. 4.—There are times when
even iron bars and atone walls do not a prison make. 8u<-b was the ease on Thanksgiving Day, when the . walls of old Riverside prison, the western penitentiary of Pennsylvania, fairly rang with the apiilause and laughter of some seven
or eight hundred prisoners, who enjoyed the min¬ strel and vaudeville sliow produced by the pris¬
oners themselves thru the kindness of Deputy
Warden 8. M. Woods. The aucr-ess of the bIh>w was due largely to
the generosity of those on the outside who donated music, msterial and other things. “We want to thank these big brotbera, who have
never yet turned a deaf ear to our ap(>eala. tliru the columna of old HillylMiy," aaya Howard Dreialgaker, one of those who had charge of
the production. “All in all," aaya Dreialgaker,
"the slsm went over like a Babe Ruth home run and brought for one day at ieast a ray of aunshine and bappineaa into the livea of several
hundred gray brothers." The prison orchestra was presented with an
orcliestra bass dnim outfit and Chinese crssh cymbal by the Wurlit»-r Company.

CONDITIONS IN CUBA
Described by Well-Known Performer
A well-known performer writes The Billboard from Hsvina, Cuba, that show buslnesa in Cuba la not any too good, owing to the money sbortige
and the fact that the banks are not letting any money go out over ten per cent; that living U very high there, the coat for two people or¬ dinarily being $70 a week, and that not of the beet.
He says that artUts r>Ing to Cuba should look over their contracts very earrfidly, as managers are very quick to "band It” to the act. That
when an acta lands at Havana the manager g..,-. the hood, but when pay days eumea he takes out
the amount, and tbs performer does not get his bond back until be leaves. ’’Thla la done," he
says, "to bold tbs act under the maniger'a power.’*
“To best the manager at hla own game," he eontlaues. “the coatract ahonld read: The mana¬ ger aliall pay for ail tax and bonds and the act ahall not be responsible for any cost of entering the country.’ Then if the man iger takes s dis¬ like to the art he has nothing to hold against it,
and the set can book or accept bookings f..r another nbow. At they have it now the n t
must leave the country befom the ts nd la re¬ turned to It. I am bonded here for $o00. 1
can't get It nnUI 1 leave, nod if I Jnmp away
from thin show or ai-cept otlier time, after I
floiab my ronlract and stay here, I will lose the $500. The safest way is to be released from all tag and bunds. Let the managers pa.v it all."

(Reviewed Monday Matinee, December 6)
Good theater weather. Few vacant seats. Many standing at the or¬ chestra back rail all during the performance. Nine acts of real variety, talent, accessories and material galore. Everyone can be credited with a hit, despite the violations of vaudeville showmanship evident in several acts. Pl¬ ano players should have rehearsed with the orchestra, and the clock could have been kept on the "time stealers” to the general value of the bill. Never saw the stage so badly handled in any theater outside of the “shooting gal¬ lery” houses. Some less dancing and piano pounding would have helped greatly In the general ensemble. Two novelty acts, one in the first half and the other in the last half, took high honors, the latter stopping the show. Six "well-knowns” listed In the headliner and feature classifications. The performance got off on time and ran until ’way after five. The Sharrocks did not get to the stage until 5:03, they being next to closing, according to the program, which ran in sequence. Frederick F. Daab conducted the or¬ chestra, as usual, opening with "Lakesonlan March,” by Lake.
2:02—Kinograma to "Sunnyland Waltzes.” by ilosner, reeled a wealth of diversified subjects that showed improvement in selection. Opened with the races at New Orleans. International Exposition views at Buenos Aires and the auto races 'at Savannah. The supercilious and prop smiles used by society when posing before the “movie” camera always. In the opinion of this reviewer, detracts from the value of Kino (and other) gram topical views.
2-14—Adelaide Bell, with a man at the piano, got full stage, with a change of attractive drapings. Miss Bell is a newcomer here and made good enough to be given a feature position if she leaves her piano player some place while she Is on the stage. He played so out of key that the orchestra quit on him after his introduction. Adelaide Is a brunet, of athletic build, and is magnetic In form and face, and, as a high kicking, acrobatic, toe and contortionist dancer, has few equals. If any. her back kicks to the head being positively sure in each foot. Several bows after three changes permitted the young lady to start the show off In fine form.
2:25—George Wilson and Ben T-arson, singing, dancing and comedy acrobats, with “legitimate routine.” enabled them to make the No. 2 position, in one and full, to a solid hit, from opening to their last trick and bit of tomfoolery humor. They open with a “song and trip dance,” and go to full stage, with a spring board, from which a double loop somersault is accomplished as the fea¬ ture trick. Great team, with clever conception of how to get laughs, altho a bit overdone in the part where a violin is employed. Ben is the acrobat and George is a comedian.
2:35—EXTRA FE.\TURE. Menlo Moore and Macklin Megley presented Corlnne Tilton In a revnie as seen here before, with few minor changes and ccnsiderably speeded up. Miss Tilton is a genuine vaudeville artiste, and with Benny and 't\’estern, George Phelps, Violet Follis, Helen Warner and chorus, scored without a sign of lost interest on the part of the house during any por¬ tion of the offering, which is Called “A Chameleon Revue.” Miss Tilton’s in¬ dividual specialties stood out. as did the “Whisk Broom” dance of Benny and Western. A vaudeville publication that caters to vaudeville had it, as did a number of New York newspapers, that the Santos and Hayes act was to be held over here, and that Miss Tilton and cast were to be seen elsewhere. All goes to show that authorities can speak, but not always with veracity or accuracy.
8:10—EXTRA ADDED ATTR.-XCTION. Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Barry, In a conversation skit, by Mr. Barry, "The Burglar,” special set, in one, with an assistant in a minor part, cleaned up. The Barry-s work true to form at all times, and each holding his or her own. Jimmy is a “rube” comedian and comedy ballad singer, as all in vaudeville know. Inasmuch as the act has ap¬ peared here so often, we will pass to the next offering without suggestions or attempted criticism.
3;32—feature EXTRAORDINARY, and that it is. Marie Nordstrom, in a character type delineation from the pen of Frances Nordstrom, and mu¬ sic by Arthur Gutman. This is the most ambitious single star offering now on the vaudeville boards and stopped the performance after four numbers. She works like a Trojan and does all the Prologs and as well the character changes that might make her also a protean artist of note. Her enunciation Is perfect, her singing pleasing and acting registers high. Were this not a “hot wire” report more space would be given Miss Nordstrom because of her real talent, naivete and culture.
3:51—Popular airs were played by the orchestra for intermission. 3:59—"Topics of the Day” to "I Never Knew,” by Lehman, scored al¬
most a solid hit with paragraphs and quips from Houston Post, New York World, Pearson’s Weekly, Colgate Banter, American Boy. Kansas City Jour- nal. Fool’s Cap, Louisville Times, Let’s Go (Chicago), “Topics of the Day.” Dallas News. London Tid-Bits, Sing Sing Bulletin, Detroit News, Toledo Blade. Succe.s.>< and Altoona Times.
4:03—ENO.\GEMENT EXTRAORDINARY. Nat Nazarro and a midget acrobat, with the assistance of two colored actors, a piano player and a co¬ median. and a dancing anvl singing comedian. Buck and Bubble'*’ tore the show apart and even stopped their own act. Nat Nazarro is "a daring and accomplished showman of the vaudeville realm. All know the general run of his acrobatic offerings, but this is an unusual novelty, despite the fact that It looked as if the act was to do all of the last half, so long did it hold the stage. The bit in one spoiled it all. 'The act was over w’ith the first curtain down. Buck and Bubbles act, apparently, natural. One c.an rag anj'thing on the piano, and Buck can dance and sing In a style all his own, and they flo it.
4-32—KNOAGE^TENT DR TJ^XE. Kitty Doner, Rose Doner and Tod Doner, sisters and brother, took full stage, speolal set, and Elddie Morgan at the ivory keys. They danced in Doner family style, which is of the different kind In many changes of costumes, finishing with some whirlwind stepping. Tl>« not Is too long and there ia too much repetition of steps. Kitty makes a stunning boy, knows how to wear male attire, and is a good showman u# to a certain ixilnt, a.s exampled this afternoon. Rose is youthful, eraceful and has charm. Everyone knows Ted and his style of work. With all this they stopped the proceedings and got the most applause of the hour. Evidently destined to hooomo I’nlaee f.noritea an i a big box-office card, as Kitty brings to this corner a Winter tlarden reputation.
r,:03 Harry and Eitima tJharrock. an EXTRA ADDED ATTRACTION, presented tlieir “Rebind the Grands^nd.”
5:20—Henrietta De Serris and Company presented art reproductions. 5:32—Exit march, “Geneva,” by Snyder and Sherman.—WILLIAM JUD¬

Palace, Chicago (Beviewed Monday Matinoo, Beoemlier 6)
The last half of the bill at tbe I'alaoe thH
wfok is wortb tbe cost uf admission, the first
half dws not matter. Better bamlliiiK of tbn
stage Would have helped tbe first part )i>’me.
Kate Pullman and Koscoe Ails stirred up ttie big noise uf the afternoon.
Herbert's Looi>ing and Leaping Canines opened
with a typical dumestie pets act, well staged
and worked out and tburuly pleasing, taking
eight minutes to present and drawing good applause.
Then tbs Neapolitan Duo. two Italian boys,
followed with « straight singing act, starting
nowhere and ending tbe same way. Sang some
spaghetti o{>era and one understandable song
and closed with "Venetian Moon,’’ woren Into
an operatic aria, which went the best, bnt
not good enough. Eight minutes, in one.
Beatrice Morgan and Company, conaisting of
John Connery, Dorothy Brown and Harold Mc¬
Carthy, in “Moonlight Madness," a rather pre¬
mature showing of this act, at least appeared
ao. Stage electrician had not yet started work
this week, the act was poorly set, tbe two Ju-
Tenlles were amateurish and tbe elder pair were
unnerved by tbe ruinous start. The plot telle
of tbe matron of 40 who yearns for the love of
20, and almost gets it. Six minutes’ wait be¬
fore art opened. Twenty minutes; three bows.
Frank Hurst, in "Alone at Last.” Hurst
is a gixid assistant, but misses fire as a star.
Opened with “Ohio,’’ then "All Over," ’'Early
to Bed." told some weak baby stories, sang
"One-Horse Town" and took an encore with
"Broadway Bose.” Hla eyes were badly made
up. Be has a hazy Idea of tbe pitch, ami his
patter is light weight. Leo Poe, at tbe piano,
worked faithfully. Twenty minutes. In one.
Clarence Oliver and Georgle Olp, In "The Bee¬
hive," the first act of the afternoon, aside
from the opener. The crowd woke up, caught
tbe comedy of Mies OIp and tbe dash of Oliver,
and the rain at the finish, where the pair, die-
posscssej of their home, go to sleep In tbelr
twin beds outdoors, got the first hearty apidause,
and tbe fifteen minutes was good for six cur¬ tains.
Roscoe Alls and Kate Pullman, assisted by a
Jazz band. One of tbe best fast comeily dance
acts in many muons. Miss Pullman is a favor¬
ite, as always, and Ails is a showman of dis¬
tinction. Tbe combination ia fortunate, and the
Jazz hand helpa sume. Tbe opening Is a little
slow, but tbe speed at the close Unde big, and
tbe encores and apee< bea are well earned and
well given. Twenty-eight minutea.
Ned Norworth, assisted by Evelyn Wells and Frank Herbtn. Tbe assistants mostly stand
still, and do nothing, but Norworth works
overtime, pulls nut stuff constantly, and twenty
minutes of laughs and one or two real encores,
with a balf-dozen bows, bore testimony to the
su' cess with which tliey full-wed the big act of
the afternoon.
Doe Baker, doing lightning change work, a^
slstod by eight comely fashion girls and a pair
of boy dancors, and I’olly Walker, doing the load
patter and d.sncing. Three seines give excuse
B.>r varied c<)stumlDg, Baker does some good
singing, the i-ostuming ia fresh and pleasing, and
tbe quick changes of costume*, esix'i-ially by
Baker, are puzzling and effective. Twenty-one
minutes, several curtains. Closed tbe show.—
LOUIS 0. RUNNER.
Orpheum, San Francisco (Reviewed Sunday Matinee, Dec, 6)
Royal Gascoignes, tbe first of six fuILstaga acts on this week's Orpheum bill, were well re¬
ceived on the strength of patter. It is time the
old dog, Bertbu, was allowed to retire.
The Magic Glasses, allegorical fantasy, gut ' y
passably In the second spot.
Cameron Sisters, programmed in fourth spot,
were switched to third for the se<'on.i week
here, in which posltioa they repeated saUsfac-
torlly.
Laurel Lee’s “Little Girl” numiicrs and t'ght diatter elicited no nuticesblo sttr, but got Sev¬
eral laughs and her sougs were applauded.
William Gallon's s< cond week with bis vjtlle
gketch promises to be as big as his first. Ho
was nearly the height of tbe show.
Mme. Dnree’s Oiieraiog scored a phc.n-'mcnal
success. It is the first thing of tbe kind the
Orphenm has sent here in many months and the
vaudeville audience on the opening aftemuon
could not get enough of it. Doree’s singers this
acasun are among the best she has brought here. Bigelow and Clinton work in a manner reral-
nlscent. but short of Mnrphy and White's stand¬
ard. Otherwise they would have gone better.
Garcinetti Brothers were wclcoimed back with
their hall-tosslrg stunt between them, the audi¬
ence and their light-hearted hull dog. They
worked up to a hil.trlous finish which sent the
cust- mers out laughing and talking.—STUART

Tbe rbiladeipbia representative of The Bill¬ board called at tbe Stanley Booking Offices, and wws informed by tbe flrm'a publirjty manager, Abe Einstein, that they knew nothing about tbe transaction. Jules E. Maatbaum, president of the company, could sot be aeen, as be was out of town.
It was also stated in the theatrical Journsl’s report that the Sablusky A McGnirk houses were included in the deal. In an interview with The Billboard reporter Abe Sablosky made the state¬ ment that there waa nothing to it and that is all he had to say.
Jules Bloomberg, general manager here of the Shnbert theaters, when handed the Journal's article, said he knew nothing about it. Tbe aforesaid Journal’s report also makes tbe state¬ ment that tbe circuit would open February 1. The general opinion here among theatrical men and agents is that the report la a rumor pure and simple.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS DF THE WEEK
New York, Dec. 3.—Decline in prices, from
which, however, the public does not yet seem to
have realized much advantage, still continues.
In certain industries tbe point is being ap¬
proached where there will either have to be
complete suspension or wage reduction. Part
time is now bringing in substance some wage re-
dnctlODS, hut this ia merely a makeshift. It
has been contended that price redactions will
have to supersede wage reductlona.
In last week's foreign exchange market there
was some early firmness in all Enropean ex¬
changes, hut this condition did not obtain for
long. Buslueas was comparatively dull in ster¬
ling, flrat prices being around $363, hat on
Wednesday the price rate dropped to $3.47.
In connection with the Drat paragraph of this
analyata the motorist is naturally Interested in
knowing what tbe relation of price movement
to gasoline la going to he. It Is i>08Slble the
price of gas may ease two or three cents a gal¬
lon, hut there is no one apparently who believes
the reduction will be of long etandlng. The
supply of gasoline is hardly adequate to the
emergency of summer demud, even under best of conditions.
One feature of last week's bond market waa
renewed strength displayed the first of the
week In Liberty Bonds snd Victory Notes. Both
the Uxsbie snd exempted lasaes made sizable
tains.

UNITED THRU THE BILLBOARD Eva Esmond Wires Intention To Return to Mother
Thru the efforts of The Billboard there will be Joy In one home on Christmas' Day like unto that recorded in Holy Scripture concerning the return of the prodigal eon.
After months of weary waiting and anxiety a mother’s heart has been made glad by the news that her daughter, whom she had despaired of ever seeing again, was coming home.
And the daughter’s hearL touched by the pathetic appeals of her mother, must feel that ineffable Joy that only a returned wanderer can experience.
A wire to The Billboard on December 6 conveyed the Information that Eva Esmond had telegraphed from Texas that she desired to return to her mother, Flo Esmond That was all, but It was sufficient. ’The news was conveyed to Mrs. Esmond, and her Joy at the prospect of being again united with her daughter was pathetic in the extreme. “I can not tell you how thankful I am to The Billboard for the assistance it has given in finding my child and restoring her to me,” she said thru tears. “The good Lord has surely answered my prayers, and this will be a happy Christmas for Eva and me.”

and tbe so-called fidelity people hare ac- i

president of tbe Actors' Equity Association, ]

yesterday.
Mr. Emerson dropped into Chicago unan¬

announcement or apology. Mr. Emerson’s state¬

a New Tork date line, whidi stated in sub¬

submitted to a referendum of tbe members of
Equity.
"When tbe strike was won by Equity," said
Mr. Emerson, "the Fidelity League claimed 400

Mr. Kellerd's prodnction of "The Merchant

"The Broken Wing" Is another •‘blow-on-the-
heid" play. An airplane fulls Into a bouse in
Mexico and the American aviator is bailed as
the husbaod for whom s Msitran girl has been
asking God. The bump from the fall gives the
boy a.'nnesla, but for once the authors do not
rextore bis memory by another crack on the
skull. Instead, bis memory comes back by the
call of a whlpiKiorwlii, after many adventures
with a Mexlrsn buodlt who bolds him for
ransom. Thla tuindit la given a beautiful doo-
bie^crosa and the aviator flies back to the C. R with bit Mex. sweetheart.
Inea Plummer la the Mexican girl, and plays
the part well She gets many a laugh from the
comedy bits, and playa the love eplsodea aln-
<errly, Charles Trowbridge la a manly figure
ax the aviator and gives a good performance.
I/vuls Wolbelm playa a Mexican general and
nisket a convincing figure of him, as docs Al-
phooa Ethler, plarlng a Mexican captain. Mr.
Ethler gives a loud reading of the part, but
aside froip th a Is excellent. Sylvester Crosa
has one of those Frank Craven roles and does
very well with it. Joseph Spurln does a goovl
character bit aa a MexP-an soldier. The rest
of the cast are well fitted to their parta.
The piece has been well stagcil and mounted.
The effect of the aindane craabing thru the

The dramatlzstlon of "The Young Visiters”
follows n.ilay .tshf ’rd's lanik very closely. The
dialog u«-d is ih.at of the b-« k, it is presented
In n succeivaion cf sixteen scenes, with settings
which look ax tho Daisy had <lesigncd them her-
•clf and cosiuroea that literally follow those
desi rll>ed in the novel. The piece is well played, with the exception
cf one character. This exc<^>tion is Marie Goff,
who doea not seem to have grasped the stdrit of
the play at all. Miss Goff overacts contlnualiy,
apesks her lines to the auillence iosteed of
to file other characters, and tiles B<r obviously
to be funny that she becomes exai tly the op. o-
aite. The rest of the players enter into tha
spirit of the comeily with xest. Harold .Vnstrutber, aa Bernard Clark, the hero,
is delightful In makeup, costume and play ng
he haa sfept>ed right out of the p.igca of "The
Young Visiters " Herl«ert Yost as Mr Salteena,
mskea the butcher's ton who wa.s "not quite
a geoUeman," a living being. Lionel Pape playa
the Bari of Clinebam spleDdldly, and Leslie
I’almer, aa the I'rlnce, is a gorgeous prince in¬
deed. Uis was one of the outstanding bits of
the performance, tho be waa only on the stage
for a brief time. The rest of the long cast por¬
trayed the fanciful creation of yoong Miss Ash¬
ford very competently. Special praise is due
the arranger of the muatc, which added much to
the enjoyment of the piece. Thla part of the
Work was done by Jobn Anaell.
If you have read "The Young Visiters” and
liked it you are going to like this (day. if you
haven’t read the book you will proL'Obly wonder
what it is all about, as did a few the night
this reviewer saw the piece. One thing is cer¬
tain, "The Y'oung Visiters" is the mo-t unique
prtsliictioD of the season, and if there are
enough faithful followers of Miss Ashford in this
town, it will be a hit. If there are not—Cain's

BERLIN LETTER By P. RICHARDS
Berlin at this time la the paradise of the
dani e All who come to Berlin these days are
faaclnaled by the sight of dancing thousands.
Tliose misguided jvers.ms who have thought
that the B'iston. the Two Step or the Jazi were
most at home in New York town may now read
these linci and revise their views.
Nearly all American touriata who are at
present visiting Berlin have assured me that,
to their knowle.lge, there is no city in the
world wbivb has aucb facilities for dancing on
a large scale as are provldevl here. This la the
real city cf the graceful glide’
Other towns and other cities in Germany are
also strong on footwork, but Berlin is the train¬
ing school. It is here that the modem Ameri¬
can dtn<e geta the stamp of approval. Those
who have gone thru their paces In tha leading
dancing balls of the metropolis can go gliding
by in any other part uf the Fatherland.
Uko the Romans of old. the Germans are
not veiy enthusiastic dancers by temperament.
The average German la not nearly ao much at
bla ease In a ballroom aa the average Amerl-
ran, Engllahman or Frenchman. In no other
country In the world dM formerly ao many pret¬
ty girls go to dances and dance amongst them-
stdves while so many men leaned against the
wall all the evening brnklnf on. It la. I sup¬
pose, part of the Geiman'a national aelf-con-
aclousnesa and certainly not the prettiest part of
It.
But now It’s everywhere the same—dancing,
dancing, morning, noon tod night, without ces¬
sation. With my own eyea I li.ave seen two dla-
tlngiitalird looking old gentlemen right here
In this city IiH'ked in each other's arms like
•upcr-annuatol wrestlers, profaning the radiant
ballroom floor of a lo.iding cafe with cavorting
that would have shamed a tjboux Indian. "Notb-
Ing like these modem dances for the digestion,”
one of them would say, mopping bis fore¬
head. "'My daughter says I do fine,” replied
the other out of bre.xth. “Practice makes per¬
fect; I didn't approve of these dances at first;
1 must have been growing old-fashioned.” And
oo they went, for the dancing mania baa seized
the town! It appears to be the one and only
amnaement of its Inhabitants. And this doea
Bot apply to society as confined to iieople of
wealth and position, but to the people of all
classes when they are looking about for a
way to pasa the time.
At first thought It would seem as If a strange
madness had swept over Berlin—a mania for
movement that has attacketl everybody with
Bu> h force that It Is as a physical demonatration
of the 1*W of perpetual motion.
But upon second and more Introspective
thought it appears more rational, for Indeed It la
an expedient outlet for the spirit of unrest that
is the product of the present exciting and
tormenting times.
They have over here alre.ady accepted and
devoured the Turkey-trot, the Boston and the
Two-step, and of late the Jaxs la being viewed
with determination and admiration by the
whole land. "We can understand bow we got
along without wireless or electric light or the
telephone, but bow did we e^er get along wlth-
OQt Ike Jaxxl” le the onanlmons verdict. It
is difilcult to descrilie this new form of d.xncing
as it la being perpetrated In oar cafe danaants,
because no two couples dance it alike. More¬
over, the Jatx at S p m. la only the third cousin
of fhe Jazx at 1 a m , when the crowd haa
thinned out and the policeman has gone to sleep
In a chair outside tho door It mostly appears
like all kinds of a dance. The girl always looks
as If she were about to slip and fall back¬
ward, and ber partner—tbe gallant fellow-
la right there with the rescue stuff.
And the i>eople are scanning the newspapers
and magazines for words of wisdom by adept
experts of terpsicborean art, and they pay out
bard-earned wherewithal to society dansant
favorites for private lessons at exorbitant
prices.
The artists—cafes are full of atorles of pro¬
fessional dancers who are becoming almost
brutally rich by dancing In the afternoon at
some ••Jardins.” while at night they are per¬
forming at the local kabaretta and variety
bouses, from which their names are flashing
In large electric bulbs.
The exhilarating, bairraising Joys of a Jaix
contest pack every house! Hundreds of dance
balls and palaces are going nightly at full
blast, some of them, like the “I’alals De Dance"
and the "Altes Rallbause," accommodating as
mi.ny as five hundred couples at once. Here, on
elevated platforms, the nimble profeaaionals
gyrate about In a senes of intricate evolntions,
and in the gronpa of nonprofessionala that
glide over the brightly polished floors one may
aee lhat all the world la represented. Not only
Bavarians, Saxoniana and Prussians vie with
one another. The dance reveals everywhere in
Berlin how coamopolitan la this city, to which
now again come so many strangers from all
the earth. It waa a foregone conclusion that these mo«-
ern dances, which are causing so much disena-
aion, would also elicit many and varied com¬
ments. Some papers say that the “dancing after¬
noon teas,” where the place of the Oriental bev-
erage la taken by cocktails and other alcoholics,
are almply daylight roisterings that serve no
decent purpose and ought to be eliminated, aa well as the immodest and Immoral dances.
Others claim that the Jazz is no more Immoral
than the waits or any other dance, and that a
dance la only Jnat as immoral aa the people are
who dance it. They remind na that it was
Byron who wrote that horrified poem about the
immodesty and immorality of the dance, while
bla immorality was, at the time be wrote It, the
goexlp of all civilized Europe.
A leading clergyman of this dty. when asked
recently whether be thought modem dancing a
ein, responded; "Tea, a great aln, Indeed, If yoo
don’t dance well!"

“The Broken Wing” la anotber *‘blow.oa-tbe> head” pivy. An airplane fulls Into a bouse in Mexico and the American aviator Is hailed as the hnshand for whom a Maxtean girl baa been asking God. The bump from tbe fall gives tbe boy s.-nnesia, but for once the authors do not restore his memorr by another rraek on the skull. Instead, bis memory cornea back by the call of a wbipiMiorwIll. after many adventures with a Meilran bumllt wbo bolds him for rsDtom. Tbit bandit la given a beautiful dou- Ne^rota and the aviator flies back to tbe U. A srltb bit Meg. sweetheart.
Inea Plummer ia the Mexican girl, and plays the part well. She gets many a laugh fixim the comedy bltt, and playa tbe love episodes tin- terely, Charles Trowbridge Is a manly figure as tbe avlsti'r and gives a good performance. Iz>uis Wolbeim plays a Mexican general and makes a convincing figure of him, as does AI- plioTB Etbler, pl.avlng ■ Mexican captain. Mr. Elhler gives a loud reading of the part, but aside from th s |i excellent, Sylveater Croat has one of Ihoac Prank Craven rolet and does very well with it.

The dramatization of “Tbe Yonng Visiters” follows Daisy .Ashf rj's ls«ik very closely. The dialog usral ia th.it uf tbe b<> k, it Is presented in a succeMioD of sixteen scenes, with settinga which look as tho Daisy had designed them ber- •clf and eostnmi's that literally follow those dcsi rilied in the novel.
The piece Is well played, with the exception of one Character. This excv^ition is Marie Goff, wbo does not seem to have grasped tbe s;ilrit of tbe play at all. Miss Goff overacts ciantlnaally, •{leaks her lines to the aiiillcnce instced of to the other characters, and tiles s<i obviously to be funny that she ber'omet exai tly tbe op. o- tlfe. The rest of the players enter Into the spirit of tbe comeily with xest.

Nearly all American touriata wbo are at present visiting Berlin have assured me that, to tbclr knowle.lge, there la no city in tbe world which baa auob facilltiea for dancing on a large scale aa are provide*! here. Thla la the real city of tbe graceful glide'

like tbe Romans of old. tbe Germans are not veiy enthuxlastle dancera by temperament. Tbe average Grriiian Is not nearly ao much at bla ease In a ballroom as the average Amerl- ran, Engllahman or Frenchman. In no other country in tbe world did formerly ao many pret¬ ty girla go to daDc«>a and dance amongst them- aelvrs while so many men leaned against the wall all tbe evening looking on. It la. I aup- poae, part of the German's national aelf-cxm* selousneta and certainly not tbe prettiest part of it.
But now It's everywhere tbe same—dancing, dancing, morning, noon and night, without cea- n.vti«n. With my own eyct I b;ive seen txeo dla- tlngulshed looking old gentlemen right here In this elty bM-krd in each other's arms like siiper-annuateil wrestlers, profaning the radiant ballroom floor of a le.nling cafe with cavorting that wonid have abamtrd a lAiuux IndUn. “Noth-

Uia waa one of the outstanding hits of tbe performance, tho be waa only on tbe stage for a brief time. Tbe rest of tbe long cast por¬ trayed the fanciful creation of young Miss Ash¬ ford very competently. 8pecial praise ia due the arranger of the mnalc, which added much to the enjoyment of tbe piece. Tbit part of the Work was done by John Ansell.
If you have read “Tbe Young Visiters” and liked it you are going to like this play. If you baveo't read tbe book you will prolwbly wonder what it ia all about, aa did a few tbe uight this reviewer saw the piece. One thing is cer¬ tain, “The Y’oung Visiters" is the most unique pro<liictioD of tbe season, and if there are enough faithful followers of Miss Ashford in this town. It will be s hit. If there are not—Cain’s will get It quick.—GORDON WHYTE. EXCERPTS FROM THE NEW YORK DAILIES
Times: “A large part of last night's andl- ence found It pretty (ontlnuonsly amasing, de¬ spite its bewildering effect on a few alien spirits who were profanely displeased with It.’*
Tribune: . . It provided rather aur- prialngly good entertainment . . . We had exi>ected nothing, and it Is much more than that."
Globe: “A llteml. bright and picturesque adaptaiioD of this most famous and most amus¬
ing story that a child ever wrote; well a< ted and well set.”
Mail: “A more Impossibe play could not be imagined, and only artificially excited {lersons, eager to catch at something unusual in tbe thea¬ ter, are likely to be entbuslaatic about it.’’

Ing like these modem dances for the dlgeation,** one of them would say, mopping bis fore¬ head. "’My daughter says I do fine,” replied the other out of breath. “Practice makes per- fe<-t; 1 didn’t approve of these dancet at first; 1 must have been growing old-fashioned.** And on they went, for tbe dancing mania baa seized tbe town! It appears to be tbe one and only amuaement of Ita Inhabitants. And this does not apply to society aa confined to people of wealth and position, but to tbe people of all rlssses when they are looking about for a way to pasa tbe time.
At first thought it would seem as if a strange madneaa bad swept over Berlin—a mania for movement that baa attaeke*! everybody with such force that it Is as a physical demonstration of the law of perpetual motion.
But upon setsMid and more introapectlys thought it appears more rational, for indeed it la an expedient ontlet for th« spirit of unrest that is the product of tbe present exciting and tormenting times.
They have over here already accepted and devonred the Turkey-trot, tbe Boston and the Two-atep, and of late the Jaxx la being viewed with determinatlou and admiration by the whole land. *’We ran understand bow we got along without wireless or electric light or the telephone, but bow did we evrr get along with¬ out Ike Jaxsl** Is the nnanlmona verdict.

ward, and her partner—tbe gallant fellow— ia right there with tbe rescue stuff.
And tbe people are scanning tbe newstiapers and magazines for words of wisdom by adept experts of terpsicborean art, and they pay out hard-earned wherewithal to society dansant favorites for private lessons at exorbitant prices.
Tbe artists—cafes are full of stories of pro- fessionfal daucers who are becoming almost brutally rich by dancing In the afternoon at some ••Jarriins.” while at night they are per¬ forming at the local kabaretts and variety bouses, from which tbeir names are flasblng In large electric bulbs.
Tbe exhilarating, b.-iirraising Joys of a Jaxx contest pack every house! Hundreds of dance balls and palaces ure going nightly at full blast, some of them, like tbe “i’alais De Dance” and tbs “Altes Ballbause,” accommodating as mi.ny as five hundred couples at once. Here, on elevated platforms, tbe nimble profesaionals gyrate about in a aeries of Intricate evolutiona, snd in tbe groups of nonprofesalonals that glide over the brightly polished floors one may see that all tbe world la represented. Not only Bavatiaus, Saxoninns and Prusaiana vie with one another. Tbe dance reveals everywhere In Berlin how cosmopolitan is fbia city, to which now again come so many strangers from all the earth.
It waa a foregone conclusion that these moa- ern dances, which are causing so much discus¬ sion, would also elicit many and varied com¬ ments. Some papers say that tbe “dancing after¬ noon teas,” where the place of the Oriental bev¬ erage la taken by cocktails and other alcoholics, are simply daylight roisterings that serve no decent purpose and ought to be eliminated, aa well aa the immodest and Immoral dances. Others claim that the Jazx is no mors Immoral than the waits or any other dance, and that a dance la only Just as immoral as tbe people are who dance it. They remind ns that it was Byron who wrote that hoirlfled poem about the immodeaty and immorality of tbe dance, while bla immorality waa, at tbs time be wrote It, the gossip of all civilized Europe.
A leading clergyman of this city, when saked recently whether be thought modern dancing a sin. responded: "Yes, a grest sin, indeed, if yoa don’t dance welll”

produced no more intereating woman than Mrs.
Minnie Maddern Fiake, wuu bus long been known
as one of tbe finest American actresses and high¬
ly respected on account of her wonderful love and
work in behalf of dumb animals. It is a well-
known fact that on account of her attitude
toward'dumb creatures for years she has never
worn cny furs, neitner does she eat any meat,
beiiiu-io the knows of the terrible suffering that
for bearing animals have to go thru when they
are tr.apped and I)ecau8e she knows that all
mcat-prod.ucing animals at beat have more or
less suffering during their Uvea and up to tbc
time they give up tbelr life that tbs buman
race may be supplied with meat.
The latest thing that Mrs. Fiake baa under
taken in the way of animal welfare, and what
is bringing her mucb favorable comment from
newspapers and magazines the country over, is
tbe new organization that she alone is responsi¬
ble for, to prevent, aa far as possible, the
tcrrilile suffer*Dg that beef cattle on .the West¬
ern plains undergo every winter when hundreds
of their number perish from either starvation or
exiKwure. There has lately been organized ami
chartered under the New York State laws tbe
National League To Conserve Food Animals,
with Mra. Minnie Maddern Fiake es preaident,
and many prominent people on the directorate.
During her last tour to tbe Coast in “NelUe
of N'Orleans” she apoke in behalf of her or-
ganlxatloD at every city where her company
made a week atand, and gained in this way
many converts to the cause she loves so dearly.
A little later she plans to have a large mesa
meeting some Sunday in Boaton, where arrange¬
ments have already been mada by ker many
frienda in that city to make bar cmnlng an
event of importance. To give an idea of the
caliber of the affair that is plannad, the Oov-
emor of the State of Massachusetts and the
Mayor of Boston have been approached to ascer¬
tain if they will be present, end tbay bave
both, it is nnderatood, signified tbeir intention
of being on hand In tbelr official capacity. !•
fact, Mrs. Fiske has in bar possession a letter
from Mayor Rollo J. Petera, of Boaton. who,
after tbe reqneet ot prominent citixens, kee
asked her to favor Boaton folks with her talk
on this new work.
Altho Mra. Flake was approached this week
by a representative of Tbe Billboard to grant an
interview to this paper regarding her new or¬
ganization. the eald that while she appreciated
The Billboard’s request ehe would prefer to
defer tbe Interview until plena of the organiza¬
tion are s little more complete. She is re¬
hearsing Just now for a new play, “Wake Up.
Jonathan.” which will be produced in tbe near
future.—<3. B. K.

\ For Manhattan Opera House AMERICAN SINGERS
Chief Object Is To Give Work
to German Artists—Season
of Seven Weeks
Planned
CLAUDE WARFORD Announcement has been made by Mrs. Os¬
car nammeratein that she will present grand
and light opera in German for a i>erlod of
aeven weeks «t the Manhattan OiH-ra House,
New Y’ork City, commencing the afternoon of
December 25. Mrs. Hammerstein states she has
two motives in view; namely, to make the Man¬
hattan an international opera bouse where
opera In any language can be given, and to
give employment to Gorman artists as well as
German-American artists and American artists.
However, in announcing names of those en¬
gaged for the season German artists only are
listed and include Robert Utt, a leading tenor
of the Berlin Oi>era Company; Mnie. Claire
Dnx, a German soprano; Mme. Ellaalietb Becb-
bert, soprano of the Dresden Opera Compan.v,
and G. Tauber, tenor, also of the Dresden or¬ ganisation, and the director of the company
is to be Arthur Liosch, a German impresario.
At least Mrs. llammerstcio is frank in de¬
claring her interest in German artists, but it
remains to be seen whether New York will
show its approval by permitting the operas to
be given. It was only last year that the at¬
tempt to give German opera at the licslngton
Opera House was frustrated by aoldiers and
satlora who bad seen service during the war.
George Blumenthal, who was at the bead of
that venture, is now business manager for
Mrs. Hammerstein and also manages the Man¬
hattan.
Why import artists, especially those of Ger-
msny, when within our own shores are singers
of ability, many of whom have already proven
they are artists of the first rank?
To quote a noted contralto: "Why Import
foreign artists and pay them fabulous salaries
and thus aid them to pay their income tax?"
We have frequently voiced our opinion in this
department concerning this matter, but we again
repeat that we believe American singers, direc¬
tors and mnslcians should have our first con¬
sideration and be given engagements in prefer¬
ence to bringing artists from foreign shores
especitlly from Germsny.

COMMENT:
New York, Dec. 4.—Burlesqurrs Colum¬
bia Comer were much “bet up'* this morn¬
ing over rumors of change in management in
variouf burlesque organizations. To iiublish tbe
lumore might possibly jeopardize tlie rr>'fcs-
sional and financial standing of several pioml-
nent burlesquers, therefore we prefer to aibn't a watehfiil waiting policy and be sure we are
right before going ahead, confident tlut when
tbe chief eiecutivea of tbe two circuits have
authentic news for publication we will be
favored with same.—NELSE.

New York, Novemtier 29, 1920,
Fraterntl rriend*—The Christmas Number of Tue Billboard for lO-’O will be the most notable annual we have ever issued, if present indications count for anything.
It will contain 232 pages at least and M.OOO copies will be printed, an advance of 10,000 copies over the Christmas Number of U>19.
The covers will be in four striking colors and there will be not less ttan one two-
colored insert of four pages.
It will contain many special articles by prominent writers and authorities, including Samuel A. Scribner, tbe Master Mind of Burlesque, whose indomitable will and tireless effort have not only biviugbt about “clean” shows, but have resulted in creating a prac- tieally new form of amusement for the better element of theatergoers. Mr. Sirlbner’s artieie, '’Burlewine. Past, Present and Future,” will t«e one of tbe great features of the Christmas Number.
The polii’y of The BiffboarJ prohibits us from soliciting the so-called "Complimen¬ tary Ads” prevalent In tbeairical Journals, but it d'.'cs not prevent us from calling your attention to Tbe Billbtvard as an ‘.ndispentable factor in promoting the future welfare of burlesque by authentic news and honest reviewa.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, we are.

put over “Wiggly Wag’’ in a pleating manner.
Helen Andrews, s short, chunky blond soubret,

worked hard for applause given lliein, and of¬
fered something out of the ordinary for colored
dancers. A Southern levee scene brought the
entire company on fur the finale of part one. A
sun parlor of a swell hotel was a suitable bark-
ground for I’rima Cantor, in her opening number
and tbe same is applicable to the other fem¬

well worked for much clean and clever cumedy

COMMENT
Money in realistic scenic e>]ulpmcDt supple-
mented by artistic taste is coloring effects that
entered into the costuming may be credited to
James E. Cooper and tbe material for tbe rleso
and clever comedy to Billie K. Welts, and whl'.s
Dan Dody can m t be credited with the pero'cal
attracUvencBS or the talent of the cborlsttrs it
it very apparent from their ensembles that Dan¬
cing Dan, who it programmed at pro<lo.'er • f
dances, is entlted to great credit, for tha dan¬
cing numbers were far above par.
Taking it all in tH. with the ezceptloD of a
couple of old bits, it was a modernized bnrlesq' e

REVIEW:
The Brat part, “.kutong the ladies," was ayooDymoua with tbc title, for tbe acene was a swell reecpitoo r>om with an ensemble of
evening-gowned ladles, somewhat different In personal appesramc and d*qM>i tm«-nt from the
average burlesque eborus. While It appealed l<>
us persoa.'illy. It was a trifle l"o rertned for
the majority of the OIjmplet, who apparently
prefer short aklrta and much pep for an open¬
ing acene.

Tlelena, Ark., Dec. 3.—“Oh, Daddy’* Company
played here Ratunlay night to a medlnm buuie.
The company la under the able management of
Tom Keeney. At Stuttgart and Uot Springa.
Ark., and Shreveport, La., It played to g<iod
buaineaa. It la now routed into Mlaalaaippl,
Ceorgla. Florida and Alabama.
At not Springs one of the members of the

OPENS ANOTHER MARY' Instead of wailing about the high coat of
producing musical ahowa, the Inability to make
money on the road with them and iMiggestiug
the cutiiug of the actors’ aalarlea to remedy this
eonditioD, it might be welt for some of our
managers to survey the musical show situation
and See If some of the high coat of producing
does not lie directly at their door.
ExtrsTagance seems to be the watchword to¬
day In musical comedy productions. It has its
eSect on an audience, of course, but it has
been overdone. Opulence is Just the thing for
certain forms of musical entertainment, but it
must always l>e secondary even in these. All
the scenery and costumes in the world will not
make a show. You fiist have to have players
and then a play—«r the revener if you wUL But ti'stly scenery and costumes are not nc<'esbary
to i-lpase the audience—If you have actors who
can act and a piece that can be played.
The first “aJitchy-Koo’’ show atUl remains the
beat one of tbe aeries. It was put on with only
a tithe of tbe money Bi>ent on Ita successors. Tbe
comedy was better, tbe music was better and
tbe production was better. There are many who
think the early “Follies’’ were much finer enter-
tainments than tbe extravagant productions of
later years. They were. In solid entertainment
value. There were many more laughs In those
early Ziegfeld shows than there are in the present
ones.
What is tbe reason for all this? Well, one
reason is that the costumes and scenery are
bought and hare to be shown, and tbe comedians
and specialty artists have to be sandwiched In be¬
tween these fashion shows and take what is
left of tbe running time. You see a great dry
goods exhibit, and sometimes a mighty poor
show.
All this is now beginning to react. Costs for
the sight features have soared to an almost
prohibitive point for the manager who has the
“costumes and scenery’’ show in mind. And
be suggosta catting the actors’ salaries in order
to pay the scene painter and tbe dressmaker!
A better plan would be to get the best artists
snd let the costumes go bang. It doesn’t cost
Jatkeon much for wardrol>e, but be is giving
Kwii-ii' entertainment to ITippodiome audiences
OWanj of the big 8pe<'tacle8. Why? Because
knows how. All artists are not Joe Jack-
sons by a long shot, of course, but wouldn’t It
l^e Wtier—and less costly—to give them a larger
share In a musical show than they have at pres¬
ent and pay less attention to the purely deeora-
tlre features of the piece. As It is now tbe
tail is wagging tbe dog, as it were.
■ Here la a free tip to any manager who wants
to use it. If followed out it will create a
“revue” that will be a sensation from the
rotnedy side—and then he can throw iu as many
costumes as be wants: l^rst—Oct some “old-
timer” wiho knows tbe old afterpieces and hors
to produce them. Second—Get a bunch of co¬
medians who ran play them. Third—Stay away
from tbe rehearsals of them till the final one.
Tell the producer to pick three sure-fire after-

Jack McKIruy and Marfueritn Danieli. Anyone
knonliiK tl.e correct addreaa of theae meiuher*
will plcaae eommunicate wilh tbi* offlee. Mora
than fitoo waa collt-cted for Chorus Elulty mem¬
ber* in the i«a*t week—the larfer part of that
money wa* for claim* of meml)er* wbo had re-
hrarfcd more than ten day* with a company
that waa abandoned. The entire chorus of the ‘‘Adrienne” com¬
pany, which baa been abandoned, baa lost It*
claim for one-balf week'* salary for over¬
time rehciirsal owing to the fact that the
member* accepted principala* A. K. A. con-
tracta rather than Chorus Equity. The prln-
ripar* eontraet allowa for live weeks of free
rehearsal In musical comedy, while the rhi>rus
contract allows for only four. The company
rehearsed for live weeks and in some case* six.
In addition to the two weeka’ salary to whbh
they are all entitled under either contract, as
the company Is not to go out after they re¬
hearsed more than ten days, the eborus would
have been entitled to half week's salary f'>r
overtime rehearsal bad they held our contract.
Too must take a Chorua Equity contract.
The Chorus Equity will not light the claims
of persona wbo are not member* at the time
the breach of contract ocrurs. In the case
of a company which was abandoned after sev¬
eral week* of rehearsal*—thirteen member* of
the chorus were members of the Chorus Eculty.
The remaining were not. They joined Chorus
Equity as soon as It became apnarent that
Chorus Equity members were to collect salary
for their wasted time. All of those who joined were working all last season In companies that
bad a high percentage of Equity members. Be¬
cause the eompauy wa* well treated and bad
no eomplaint*—and because they were paid for all extra performances, sleepers, etc.—provi¬
sions that the Equity members fought and paid
for—they did not think It necessary to join
Equity, Now they have lost tiro weeks* sal¬
ary because they were not willing to spend
dve dollar* to help the cause that had saved
them several hundred dollara on last season.
The only meml>er who resigned from Equity last
year for reasons other than that they were
leaving the profession has just placed her ap¬
plication for membership again, and with her
application a complaint that she had been let
out of a company after rehearsing four weeks,
and she wanted two weeks* salary. Of course
We cannot take op that claim for her, a« she
was not a m<mt>er at the time she was rehesrs-
irg. She resigned from Equity be- ause the
orgjnlratlon ri-fure^l to i>ay her hotel bill, which
she s.<ild she was unable to meet, and a certain
scab orginlzation was willing to do this,

THE BILLBOARD AND THE RACE PRESS
On October 26 a new department devoted to the interests of the negro artist was announced liy this Jonrnal «■ an enthuslattic, albeit tardy, recognition of their professional progress.
A week later the department made its initial appearance with a salutation lnten<lei1 to make clear to all concerned the p*'Ilcy laid down fur Ita conduct.
One month has lince elapsed and we are gratified with the favorable expreseionB with which the page has been received by the pro¬ fession and the public.
As a whole the press has extended the glad hood of fellow'sbtp to the conductor of the column; and tedb my pcnonal letters and edi¬ torial comment they have demoDstrated their full underatandiof and ai>provaI of our pur¬ pose to serve the negro pcrb'rmer In a man¬ ner thtt It only poeelMe In a pubileatloa de¬ voted eiclualvely to the profession.
The BlIINwrd bellevea that It is creating a new and useful service to the negro pcfesslon. It la believed that cur page will contribute to the better understanding of the mgro nr- tlat by the entire profession; that by work¬ ing In harmony with such rare papers as main¬ tain tpecltl theatrical departments the negro abowfolks will obtain their rightful share of publicity and information. The news will then be distributed so at to serve their every need.
The colored profeaalon owes a debt of grat¬ itude to Mr. EIwchnI Knox and The Indianaiiolin Freeman. The pioneer efforts of that pat>er to cummand public respect and atteatioD for the ncxro performer mark the real beginning of •ational theatrical development for tbe race.
The Chicago Defender, “with tbe old roll-top 4*tk'* made ftmoua by Tony lamgiton'a amillDg face on two pages of theatrical news, gava added puhliclty and preatige to the colored auge.
Pylveafer Russell, the dean of aegm drvmatic erittca, now publisher of Tbe Star, and for years In charge of Tbe Freeman'i dnmatlc page, waa the first of tbe race to Institute the prictlce of genuine constructive criticism of race performances. Ha baa helped to eliminata many faults.
tester Walton and hla page In The New Tork Age. «b>ng with Romeo Daugherty on Tbe New York News, head n Hat of writers and pai'era that have definitely contributed to strengthen¬ ing the morale of the colored actor and at the same time have educated tbe member* of the race to a proper appreciation of the profea- tioD, Ita worth and Ita dignity.
The most casnal survey of metropolitan paper* will show to what food purpose the performer and hit raca press have worked.
The negro artist Is no longer tbe mere pePiut- sllp of bis race but has be<-ome an Important part of tbe entertainment world—a world that baa regard for only artistic merit and barbora BO prejudira that Is lasting.
The Billboard Is ppiQd to be the first trade paper to recognize this achievement. We are glad that the negro performers snd the pre-s of the race have accepted our page In such friendly spirit. BR Is by m-'rp thsn '.N'O letters from Individuals, over a dozen favorable Bewapapar comments, a half dozen letters fpuii theater ownert and two sets of resolutions by profctsional organtBatkinB.
Tha Billboard propoaea to Increase tbe op- portnnitlea of tha negro artists and to Include

them In their general policy of advcncemcnt for the entire profession; in short, to widen their range of ac<iualntanceabip.
Tbit i>oUcy need in no manner usurp any of the functiona already being so well handled by the negro press; rather we believe that tbe more intensive deveh>pment of tbe field will benefit them along with tbe profession we are both serving.

By E. M.WICKES APPEARING IN PICTURES
Did you erer dream it would happen—even bo- liabori,
fore pniblbltion—a Kong Writers’ Union? Well, their own,
it baa bapiiened, and tbe union will demand
union wage fur union work, mlniia comniiaalon.
What a difference to tbe <hiya of Strpheu Fur-
ater, who wrote claasiri for which he waa glad
to get fifteen or twenty-flre dollars. But then
times bare encountered reverse English. Once
you thought prohibition was a great Joke, Just
aa you think tbe proposed blue law is now, and
•a tome publiahera think the Song Writers’
Union la a Joke.
"But It isn’t a Joke, and it was bound to
come,’’ one prominent song writer—now a writer
and puhllaber—remarked, on IcanUng that bla
fellow writers were organlxing. "And I'm with
them in everything they do, for I know they're
after the very things I battled for when I was
tleiwnding aolely upon aoug writing for a living.”
Twice during the past, nong writers tried to
get together for their mutual beneflt. First, aa
llie Words and Mnaic Club, and later aa tbe
Knigbta of Harmony. While each organixatlon
started with a flourish, promising many things,
neither accomplished anything worth while, as
too much time and energy were bent in tbe social
direction. But tbe new association Is out fur
business—and possibly s little of somebody's
bide.
"Dou’t get tbe idea that it is a sour-grapea
affair,” one of the members said. "We’re not
y%>kiug to put tbe publishers out of business,
liecause we realUe that we need them Just as
much as they need song writers. What we’re
aiming to do is to kill off the parasites In the
game and get a square deal for ourselves.”
Tbe union, or association, altbo but a few
weeks old, bst on its roster practically every
recognized song writer in tbe country, including
Victor Herbert, Its president; A. B. Sh'sne, L'u
Hlrxrb, Otto Harbach, Harold Atteridge, Ray
Ooetx, Gene Buck, Jack Mahoney, Joe McCarthy,
Baymond nuht>ell. Hurry Carroll, Harry Tierney,
William Jerome, Grant Clark and Earl Carroll.
In all, there are one hundred members, with new aptdb'sttons coming in.
One clause in tbe by-laws, according to one of
the members, disfranchises writers who are pub-

Still Qoing Great in Boeton^Haa Made Globe Theater a Popular Houae
Beaton, Nov. 30.—“Ermlnla," with Praii<'|a
Wilson and DeWolf Hopper, has taken the
Globe Theater from the Hat of “dead ones'*
and pUred It where It belongs, up among the
flrat-claaa bonses. Tbe Globe for tbe pest
ten years has been a poor paying propoaltlon,
despite tbe fart that every kind of a policy
baa been tried out. Marcus I/oew, who holds
n lease on the property, bad been nalng pic-
tures up to two inontbs ago, when A. L. Er-
langcr took the bouse oTer and is booking It
In conjunction with bln other theaters at Bos¬
ton—the Colonial, Hollis Street and Trexont.
Ifhnagcr A1 Sheehan, for many years at tbe
Tremont Theater, was placed in charge, and all
Boston watched to see what would be the cat- come of the deal. Everybody knew that If
Mr. Sheehan was given tbe right shows he
would make good, and be certainly did. “Fit¬
ter Patter'* opened the bonse for a short atay
and did n nice bnalnesa, then *'Tattle-Talea“
came In^nd disappointed, only playing a few
performancea. But It remained for **Ermlnle.**
which followed after the bouse was dark for
two weeks, to Ax tbe matter up. “Ermtnie,**
has been going great from the opening night,
playing at $4 top. The Agnrce given Tbe Billboard for last week were 130.000. Thte li
some difference from tbe Aguree given ont In
1888 by A. n. Canby, business manager -if tbe
Caeino In New York, when *‘Ermlnle** was frit
produced. At that tlma tbe running expenses
of tbe Casino were considered very bea/r, end
It was expected that an attraction moat play
to $4,800 In order to make both ends meet In
this new revival George C. Tyler and William
Pamum have revived *‘Ermlnle** at an Invest-
mrnt of $80,000. ai against a probable $23,000
in 1888. Tbe salary and expense sheet of tbe
present production totals over $13,500 weedy,
and to break even the Globe mast at least
play to $18,000 weekly, which Is some differ¬
ence from 1888. when $4,800 was the rcqu'.red
amount. Of courae. tbe present revival la
lavitbly produced, with a cast that Iar1a<lee
the namea of many notable and popular etira, who are receiving tbe full enpport of the piay-
goera of Boeton, and when the show reacbee
New York It la safe to predict that Tyler and
Farnnm will have made a cleannp, as dij Wil¬ liam Edoula and Frank Sanger when they pur-
chaaed the American rights on speculttloa back

“EQUITY SHOP” (Continued from page IS)
closed shop idea tbe inference la that tha
membership can be limited. This la not onr
idea. Under tbe Equity Shop Idea no Equity member will play with a cast that haa any¬
thing else bat Equity members In It. If the
manager chooses to employ an entirely non-
Equity cast—and la able to do it—that la bis
own businees. But Equity people will not
play In bta cast.
‘*J. Marcus Keyes, manager of the Chicago
branch of Eqnity, named tbe idea the Equity
Shop. That diatlnctlon belongs to him alone,
and J think be named it most happily. It
expreaacs much. It tells the story la Itself.
Under tbe Eqnity Shop any actor or actress
wbo baa been engaged to speak a single line
in any prodnetion immediately becomes eligible
to niemberabip In tbe Equity Aaaociat'on.
They can not be denied. If they apply for
memberabip they positively moat be admitted.
There is the difference. Furthermore, the
Equity Association bat no wage scale. Tbe

tbe route columns of Tbe nillboard. Each week,

dreds of routes on performers, acts and abowa

does a route afford advertising, but It tells
mother and all of your relatives and friends
where you can be reached when you neglect, as performers are apt to do occasionally, advising
them of your Itlneraiy. Considering that no

figure why you should mail your route to tbe

ZOELLER HAS NEW HIT
Louitviiie, Ky., Dec. 3.—Tbe Zoeller Music
Company has wbat it believes la a real song
bit that is bound to sweep the country In Its
newest number, “I Ain’t Glvln’ Nothin’ Away,”
by Louis E. Zoeller and Lewis Talley. The song
la said to have real merit and makes a wonder¬
ful fox-trot. The following artists are featur¬
ing It: AI l>annders and his Jazz band at tbe Seel-
b.vch Hotel, lymisville; Margie Winters, Lasses
White, Rigo and his orchestra. The number
was placed on sale last week and the company
states that the B.vlea bare been so great It can't
fill the orders fast enough. Mr. Zoeller will
leave for New York soon to go into vaudeville
to introduce all of hia past and present song
hits.
Other numbers recently off the press and
wbich Mr. Zoeller is firm in his belief will
prove winners are “Contentment” and “In Old

Monroe. N. C. Editor The Billboard:
Dear Sir—Noted In your "Open belters” page recently some remarks regaiding showmen not answering letters or telegiams. This has happened to me so many times that the only coarse I pursue is to answer only those people whom I know personslly. Of course this takes years, and Is not itraeih-al in every instance.
True, all in the business are not managers. Dor do all have oodles of money. On that bstia one has to figure pretty close at times. 1 have n-grete-l time and again the money I paid on telegrams, answering ads and waiting anxiously for the reply that never romes.
It may be, aa 1 have found nut in the carni¬ val game, that many e?a>>orate ads are con¬ cocted by general agents, and once in awhile. Vkhen they have opened a town, or secured a spot, they want the world to know it, hence the splashy ads with no backbone, except tbit the "Great Exposition Shows” will play so and oo, the first one in years, and tt groerally turn! out that these ’’good stwds” sre dead ones, long passed up by the quiet, wise i^nt# and managers.
if an examination were required for every¬ one carrying the name, agent or manager one would not bavc much trouble In counting the onea that would past. Tbe alftlng process would eliminate tbe atndent agenti, the ao-cilled managers, who by "book and crook” have ac¬ quired a merry-go-round, a fenls wheel and one or two wagons or cars, to say nothing of tbe rag front, girl ahow or enormous "hippo¬ drome” or lO-ln-l. composed of one monkey, a tame goat, perhaps a $10 den of reptiles and two or three white mice. To he sure, there will be s few roncerslons. some regular and some irregular, also a greasy “cookhouse.’* This is the usual "Greater F.xposltlon.” and. believe me I will welcome tbe time—and It’s not far off—when thin class ia ruled off the “turf”
There la plenty of room for real showmen with real ahowa, and they are always welcome in real towns. Sincerely yours.

Dear Sir—Alter reading tbe many letter* pob» lisbad la Tbe Billboard by Mr. Lewis. John Douglaa and otbeia, I came a<-ru8s one last week entitled: "Doesn't Blame tbe PuMiahera,’’ by D, B. Vance of Moose Jaw, Canada. 1 think Mr. Vance has the right Idea, even tho In ay heart and own oplnioo false pride might prompt other writers, myaclf, and evea Vame himself, to say that we're right, our work la perfect and tbe puMiaher knows nothing; only a writer who has made tha grade before, and one wbo baa a firm reimtatloa with the public at large, etc.
1 don't intend to preach in this letter to you, or hand you any hard luck stories, bri-ause it's not necessary. I know juat how many "unavillables'’ 1 bare received from Stasny, Witmark. Shapiro, Bematela and Berlin, also other publiabcra. I alone know bow I have felt, so It will not be necessary to tell you or other*, for who know*, perhaps you've been there yourself. Tet. somehow, after each time 1 was formerly turned down, tbe KAILl'KU teemed to Inspire me all tha more, and today, tho 1 have no reputation a* yet. 1 can say that I have two oongs which will be publlshe<l shortly and for which I have the royalty con- 'Nongh s.nid about myself.

What are the resulta of that change of pol¬

a common Monday newspaper story to read of

CHICAGO TO THE WORLD
The Publicity Boosters' Club, of Chicago, la
headed by Mayor William Hale Thompson, and it la settidk out to do a big thing. It is doing
it with the “I WILL” Chicago spirit. The plan is as follows:
"The purpose of this plan is to present a def¬
inite program tp advertise and merchandise the
great City of Chicago. In this plan we Intend
to consider Chicago and all Ita offera as a
product which must be sold to the greatest
possible number of people.
“The sale of a high-grade product thru proper advertising and merchandising is no longer a
mystery. The utilization of advertising haa been
reduced to an eaact science. Cooseuoently we
have assumed the problem of advertising Chi¬
cago in the same way we would undertake the advertising and merchandising of a grocery
specialty or an automobile.”
The committee says: ”We wish to demon¬
strate clearly that while the advertising of a
great municipality is comparatively new, yet
it is wholly feasible and logical.
”A particular function of the publicity com¬
mittee will be to direct the attention of out-of-
town people to the various events comprised In
Chicago's yearly calendar, such as Stock Show,
Automobile Show, Grand Opera season, etc.
"In addition to the proper promotion of these
attractions already established it will be the
province of the publicity department to promote
other attractions which will draw crowds to
Chicago, such as nyitor races, airplane races,
etc. The effective exploitatloa of these events
would not demand any great expenditure, but
the lasting effect and widespread publicity can
hardly be estimated.”
Chicago is the flnanclal center of the West
and Is In a position to lead the participation of
the Mlseissippi Valley in Dan-American trade.
Chicago's bank clearings in 1879 were $810.-
978,036. Today they approximate $70,000,000,-

Another question that came up at the avt
meeting of the association was that of ,<Teicn
royalties. If you ask any song writer what
he thlnka of foreign royalties lie will till you
It 18 the biggest joke in the song game.
From time to time songs that were sop- jMise.l to De big sellers in Europe brought very
little royalty to the writers. And the song
writers never knew whether they were being
gyped alone, or whether they and the publishers
were being gyped by European song pirates,
men wlio made a practice of t'rinting and sell¬
ing copies of Ampiiean hits without obtaining
permission from the publisher. All the Ameri¬
can song writer could do was accept the Joke
statement, grin and Ix-ar it.
After a great deal of discussion one member
said the best way to handle the foreign royalty
phase was for every autlmr to retain the for¬
eign copyright. .Vnother urged that the author
should give the puldislier only the .American
publishing rights, keeping for himself foreign
rights, and any iH.ssihlc movie or dramatic
rights. Just like a playwright or a Action writer. The association could have a European
representative to look after all foreign in¬
terests. And all foreign contracta would call
for a semi-annual auditing of biKika. This
information, plus an examination of the music
stores on the other side, would soon show to

“HOW MY POOR BACK DOK ACHE!”
Many a performer keeps Sloan's handy for this, but it’s great for
other pains, too
T1I.\T dramming, wearying backache, that so iDuny women regularly Buffer from, is quickly cased by a littlo
Sloan’s Liniment. But it is good for all the profession.
Apply it, without rubbing, for a 1 kinds of aches and p.'iins, from the sharp, neu¬ ralgic twinge to the dull, tearing ache of rhetuu.YtUm.
Then there’s sciatica, lumbago, sore muscle.®, stiff joints. Keep a bottle handy, for you ncvcr’ll know when you will need it.
Largest size is most economical. At all druggists—3oc, 70c, $1.40.

In writing the review of “Mary,” the wholesomest musical show In New Y’ork, an unconscious and stupid mistake was made by mo in mak¬ ing James Marlowe into James Bradbury. It is Mr. Marlowe, not Mr. Bradbury, who is playing so delightfully the role of the human old lawyi r in “Mary." Mr. Hradbury is just now ornamenting the “Shavings” com¬ pany’ in a part which is quite different in character, but quite as delight¬ ful in its workmanlike portrayal as is Mr. Marlow('’H. I regn t the mis¬ take and apologize for the carelessness, but both Mr. llrailbury and Mr. Marlowe, being New Englanders, will, I am sure, appreciate the circum¬ stances responsible for the error. The review was pounded nut on the typewriter just before supper. I was very hungry. Instearl of keeping my mind on the job before me, my attention wandered to the possibili¬ ties of getting something really homelike to eat later on. There rose up before me a boyhood recollection of a rickety baki r's wagon weaving its easy way’ thru a small town's street, with a sign on the side reading:

About This Season’s New York Productions
THE PROVINCETOWN PLAYERS UNDER THE DIRECTION OP GEORGE CRAY! COOK AND JAMES LIGHT
’There is still a theater In New York which has not the dollar sign smeared all over It; where. If you want a aeat, you get in on time of you don’t get one, because the rule it “I'irat come, first served’’; where the rain beating in from the outside mu.T run down the wall near you without destroying your pleasure, where patrons undergo willingly per¬ sonal inconvenience becanae they are seeing aomelbing honestly done and where the powers that he have the courage to put a negro actor in the principal role because It should be played by a negr». md by a blackface character man. The theater is the re- m<ideled garage or barn or fire engine bouse or former factory which honses the Province- fow-n Players at l.''~3 McDougal street, the play is ’‘The Emperor Jones.” by Eugene G. O'Neill, who wrote “Bevond the Horizon.’’ and the negro actor is Charles S. Gilpin. For the first bill of Its seventh season the players are offering in addition to “The Em¬ peror Jones’’ a one-act satire by Lawrence I.angner, “Matinata,” whose excellence can m t even be spoiled by the execrable treatment it gets at the bands of the three people in the cast
Mr. ()■ Neill’s play, the action of which takes place, according to the bill, “on a West Indian island not yet self-determined by white marines,’’ is the Important item. It is the story of a negro Pullman porter who has escaped from a chain gang to which he was fettered for murdering another black In a crap game and who makes his getaway ly smashing in the skull of a brutal white guard with a shovel. Safe from detection in bis island refuge he makes himself sovereign of the ignorant natives and supreme in bis fuperiorlfy over bis Mack trash subjeits robs them with the Insensate completeness of a finished white crook. He has banked bis plunder in Martinique against the day when be is snre to be kicked off bis cigar box throne and flung into a prehistoric sonp p-'t by bis savage dupes. The night of the rising arrives. The emperor sets out to make bis way thro the forest to the sea roast and future luxurious safety. He leaves the palace full of the most arrogsnt confidence in bis ahlllty to win thru against his blood hnngry trailers. Then the Jungle with its unknown terrors bites thru the veneer of civilization on him. the ghosts of his past rise up to “bant?’’ him thru the blackness of the night, little by little his proud strength of soul leaves him with every lucessant beat of the pursuing drum of the natives, and in the first flush of dawn be meets his end in the place where he started from the silver bullets, made of meited-up coins, which he baa taught his superstitious followers is the only means by which he can be killed. It Is a romplole exposition of ignorant negro psychology and is played with magnideent progressive quality by Mr. Gilpin. There is a question if the climax of the play would not be improved by more clear-cut retrogression fTom the first scene’s arrogant, super- sop«-rior porter to a gibbering, idiotic atavistic Jungle “nigger” who dies not at the edge of the clearing where the forest begins, but in the very throne r'lom from which he tied as the empe^'r. It seems as if the brighter light of the palace would better and more effectively expose the exact cat.xslrophe of the defeated monarch than the dim light of rhe setting in which his end comes However. Mr. O’Neill wrote the play and he knew what be wanted to do. The stage of the theater is so small that the effectiveness of some of the eight scenes was lost. The dance of the Congo Witch Doctor -was very badly done, and the appearance of the Crocodile GM was vague and disappointing. Jasper Deetcr. as a cockney trader. Is altogether nnlitfed for the role and showed it constantly.
•As a theatrical experience of many aspects and as a bit of worth-while dramatic writing and playing “The Emperor Jones" is one of the pitiably few compensations of the season.—PATTERSON JAMES.

There is no reison because G, Bernard Shaw takes himself aeriouel.T and the Theater
Guild takes him more aeriouKly. and the people who have just emergt-d from tlie "I aeen
it,” “You done it” and "Wa*n't you” stage of mental development, and therefore believe
that anything which obaerves the ground rules of grammar MUST be imiwirtant. that
everyone else should do the same. To quote once again the saying of I'm-le J*‘e Cannon that an epigram wlihli n**eds pencil and pai>er to make it unforgettable Isn't wmth a
damn, so a play whhh re<|uires a diagrammatic preface to make It comprelK-ohible la alwi
not worth a damn. To find out Just what "Uearlbreak House" is all about it is ne< ••s-
aary to read Mr. Sbaw’a prefare to this latr*at hoax on the ro-th'us thinkers. If Mr. Sli.iw
vranted to preach a aermon he might at least expound hia text so that the least Intelli¬
gent of bis cringregation could not miss the points. "Heartbreak IIoum''* has all the
clarity of the ramblings of a drunken ouija board. The people In It wander on and off stage, aay bHght or nasty thingk to each other,, act with a riidenesB which is only ex¬
celled by that of the smart Theater Guild audiehce towards those who are seated at the rise of the curtain, and wander off into the wings to wait for the next Individual a< intll-
latlon to be delivered. It ig all very casual and very Iropelesa elttier at drama or enter¬
tainment. Announcement was made about the original date aet for the production that it had
been deemed wise to postpone it until after election, lest the presentation of the play
furnish additional compi lea tlona to an already complicated Presidt-nlial campaign. The
real humor of that announcement can only be appre*’iated after seeing it. In tha main
the playing of the cast la excellent. Elizabeth Kisilon is one of those extraordinarily raie women of the stage who ei>eaks naturally and Intelligibly and acts with genuine human
vigor. She has enough vitality to take the place of most «.f our leading men, and at tlic
tame time preserves her feminine finenewa. Lucille Watson giv»-s a clear-cut definition of an ultra wphiaticated English matron, and. when she does not sp*‘ak hurrle<IIy. is
altogether satisfactory. Effie Shannon, in typical Shaw moments of acldiilousn«"*s. is
effo tive. but at other times* p1ay»y the hyiKX hondriac motl -r of "Mama's Affair.”
Dudley Digges is sgain a "James Clegg." but all right, and the comedy interlu-Ie fur¬
nished by Henry Travers, as the san< timonions burglar, la really funny. If you like
biting wit. you will have some enjoyable seconds in "Heartbreak House.” but they will h.vve nothing to do with th- play. It is about time that the Theater Guild came down
off ita high horse pose and did something to justify the hopes we all had of It originally.

EARL CARROLL Presents
“DADDY DUMPLINS” —WITH—
MACXLTX ABBTJCKLE
A Comedy-Drama In Thre« Acts by George Barr McCutoheon and Earl Carroll
There it no reason why Sltb should be more entertaining than rleanlineas. There li, by the same token, no reason why cleanliness should be more stupid than filth. In spite of the good Intentions of Earl Carroll, who ^^>dnced the play and also had his fountain pen in the writing of It, and the excellent curtain spcc.'h of Mr. Arbuckle on the Talue of clean entertainment, “Daddy Dumplins'* is a strong argument for the un- saTory drama. It is theatrioal sulphur and molasses administered by the shovelful. There Is notbing so tiresome as praetemstural “sweetness.” It is as obtrusive,, ir¬ ritating and nnpleaaant aa sheets of tanglef<->ot flypaper spread all over the house in AugusL It catfdiea tbe files, to be sure, but It makes sitting d"wn on a chair an adventure and placing a bat on a table' a catastrophe. Wherever you go yon either ait OB It or step on it or put your best bib and tucker on it. It is effective—and In¬ escapable. “Daddy Dumplins” is a rehash of “The Old Homestead." “The Cinderella Man” and a hundred other forgotten homespun dramas, and has in addition all the prepoiterooa absurdity of William Hodge’s masterpie'-e, "Tbe Guest of Honor.”
Henry Daniel Domplins, called “Daddy Dumi''-ins,” b;is tbe habit of adopting babies and has already ai-quired a family of seven, to say nothing of a flea-bitten poodle, when the play starts. He gets thrown out of hli “palatial residence” by a dirty dog of an enemy, bis family la scattered among various orphanages, and he himself is reduced to tbe menial task of keeping books for a spaghetti foundry and living in a tenement bouse apartment kept by bis faithful Irish servant girl, who is beloved by an English butler, who wears a “one-man top” and owns a delicatessen store.
For two acts vice is triumphant. In the third the children are permitted by the orphanage antborlties to visit their “Daddy Dumplins.” The height of the nonsense Is reached when they arrive fresh from the charitable “institootions” In a varying state of raga abd dirt and bestow themselves on the draughty floor until "Daddy” comes into his own. the “vlllynn” It det-lared to have died In B-^rdeaux, and return to the “pala¬ tial roaldence” of the first two sets by all parties concerned is delightfully imminent. It la quite impossible to adequately describe the sheer foolishness of a play in which all the children and their guardian bundle up in overcoats for the eviction which takes place In June. There is nothing real In it, not even ifr. Arbuckle's “Daddy,” which ie a highly specialized bit of old man “acting.”
It is a pity the star of the piece could not have written for him something simply human and natnrally wholesome. ”I)ad<1y Dumplins” is so evidently propaganda for rleanlineas that it oversboota the mark completely and only furnishes another argu¬ ment for the produ-'cra of alwoodi bedroom f-trees. Andrew Ixiwlor, Jr., of ‘Tenrod” fame, la the prini-lpal youngster and acta with the complete aclf-posscssion of a con¬ firmed stock leading man. As a performance it is excetlent, but as a study of a boy it it beartaeby in its aophtsticatlon and stagincss. “Daddy Dumplins” may go on the road. Other plays almivst as bad have, but It will not make an appeal here, where It la moat neetled. even to those who loathe theater dirt, but also expect sound treat¬ ment of purely sanitary aobject matter.—PATTERSON JAMES.

ARTHUR HAMMERSTEIN Presents FRANCIS WHITE IN A MUSICOMEDY
“JIMMIE” with BEN WELCH
By Otto narbach, Frank Mandel and Oscar Hatnineratein II. Music by ITerbert Ctothart. Book Staged by Oscar Eagle. Numbers Staged by Bert French.
A ‘‘Jimmy" ii an Implement used to force unlawful entry into a bouse, pnom. plan* of abode or business, ami Is one of the absolute essentials of a bnrglar'a kit of tools. It la usually of steel lon^ enough and bent sufficiently to exert tbe greatest amouot of leverage with the least possible noise. Observation of the undergraduate mustcomedy, "Jimmie," which Pa Hammerstcin staged for Son llammersteia, and sicked 'he thing onto poor little France* White, naturally drags up the reference to the "Jimmy." The decoction which Is the result of a triple eff'^rt by Otto Ilarbarh. IVank Mandel and Son Hammersteln has no business In the new Apollo Theater or in any other playboose for that matter. Herbert Stotbart has turned out a couple of Jingles which serve to lighten the mournful effect of the ‘'book." which m‘ght serve as the offering of a Junior class to the other inmates of a half.of-one-per-cenr college. It is stupid alwavs, frequently coarse, and never entertaining. What it Is doing in tbe theater Ig t mystery which the llammersteins, pere et fils, may be able to elucidate.
Miss White, whose work In the vsrlety theaters has been very successful, biings to this lachrymose suffusion all her equipment of half-pint size, fearlessness of an andl. ence, and a winsome attractiveness. It is no fault of hers that the piece la ■ fiasco. She works bard and often, but her midget strength cannot supoort tbe staggering load of sogglness with which she is saddled. The late Eddie Dunkborst could not waddle along with “Jimmie" on his hack, so what chance has tiny Frances?
Ben Welch, out of burlesque, and also out of the picture, is featured with Mis* White. That Is an injustice. Mr. Welch belongs In burlesque, where his lack of imagi¬ nation, flniah and entertaining ability might pass. The so-called "legitimate" theater is no place for a (mmedian who resorts to such rbaste morsels as "Sardines is fish’s pups" and who sends out Yiddish S. 0. S. pbr.ises to his race in the audience to gain applause or laughs, Harry Delf labors indefatigably as a Taudeville actor whose agent comes to a private honse to observe the work of a prospective partner. Tliis is a bit of really s.irrtonlc humor. Mr. DclFs principal eontrlbution to the gaiety of the evening is a delightful songolng (since word coinage If In the air), labeled "A Little Plate of Sonp." The bit probably was Invented after a vl«lt to the Hotel Astor at lunch honr, hut the program gives no credit to the originators of the business.
S''met'.'ing went wrong with the beating apparatus of tbe theater tbe night "Jimmie" was experienced and the audience eat with Its overcoats and fnrs on thruont the perform, ance. That was a gratuitous criticism of the show by the thester fireman. The ilec* itself Is til the frost tbe Apollo needs to pat it in the cold storage ckass of etrnctare. —PATTERSON JAMES.

THE MOONEY CASE 'Acton who tre memben of an organization may read with profit the following eilltorial
from The New York Evening Globe. "It may help them." writes one militant player, "In momenta of nncertaloty caused by managerial propaganda to realize that anyone who leads any ortanizatioD might easily suffer what Mooney has and with equal Justice."
"Probably there Is not a workingman In the United States or Europe to whom the name of Tom Mooney does not at least vaguely stand for a grievance. Mooney was a labor organizer In San Franciaco, first within the old-line unions, then outside. A few days before the Preparedness Day explosion. In July, 1916. he bad made an unsuccessful attempt to call out the employees of the privately-owned street railways of San Fran -lsc". Prevlonaly he had been active In a strike against a powerful gas and electric corporation. -\ftrr the bomb tragedy, which cost eight lives, he was arrested, tried, convicted, and si'ntenced to death. One of bis associates, a young man named Billings, was convicted and sentenced to life Imiirisonment. Mrs. Mooney, tried on the same charge and sub¬ stantially the same eyidence, was twice acquitted.
"In the meantime facts came to light which Indicated that the ease against both >fooney and Billings had been 'framed' by police officials, whose private excuse that, whether guilty or n*it, Mooney was a dangerous agitator who onght to be put out of the way was accepted by the reactionary wing of local public opinion. The only result of the new evidence was the canceling of outstanding indictments against 5rrs. Mooney and several other defendants and the commntatlrn of Mooney’s sentence by a weak-willed Governor from death to life Imprisonment. This was in spite of the fact that the Judge who trP'd and sentenced >fooney had repeatedly expressed bis belief that the prisoner bad not had a fair trial, and that the highest court In the State, altbo unable to find a technical eitur in the trial record, had expressed the opinion that a new trial was desirable.
"The latest development la a confession by one of the detectives who worked OB the case that all the Important wltncsaes were suborned- Vet so involved is the case In technicalities that the wrong done cannot be set right unless Mooney is pardoned by Governor Stephens and relriet! on one of the remaining murder indictments against Aiim. His rbance for a fair trial baa been enormously Improved by the election of an honest proseiuling attorney in place of Charles M. Fickert, who gained notoriety thru the meth¬ ods used In the first trial.
"Cases like thia are more Important to those who believe In 'law and order’ than to those who do not. Settled Justly, they are evidence that workingmen have a standing In •capitalistic’ courts, wbereaa a refusal of Justice is ammunition for every soap-box artlllerut in the world.”

MAGIC AND MAGICIANS
(ContlaucU from page 40)
to make Its lender satisfied.” The other tricks were performed and, by the time attention was again called to the orange, it was found that nut one, but eleven dimes were snuggled in its Juicy parts. It cost Mr. Magician ten cents, but the additional laugh and applause was not only worth many times that amount, but caused him to add the trick as a part of big regular program.
Even as mistakes are sometimes made by great magicians, so do they sometimes appear in print. For instance, a couple of weeks back, in reporting on the present successful tour of Travelutte, the Mental Miracle, thru the Southwest, an item in these columns told of bis show having played Durant, Tex. The name of the town was right, but, instead of be¬ ing the one in tbe Lone Star State, it was Durant, Ok., that should have been recorded, there being considerable difference between the population of the two towns. Durant, Ok., Is tnucb tbe larger.
Word from Texas on the business done by tbe Travelutte attraction at Graham reports another star in its reooril-breaking banner. People who were unable to procure bouse seats solved the problem of making themselves com¬ fortable during the performance by bringing their own chairs, and, incidentally, they as¬ sisted in establishing a new week's attend¬ ance mark.
Equally big business was enjoyed by this show st Vernon, Tex., and, last week, at Burkbnrnett. Return engagements are being played in most of tbe towns thru the Texas oil belt, in which section the Mental Miracle's hlgh-<',l.is8 production Is an established fa¬ vorite, a fact evidenced by the manner In which house managers are booking bis attraction. Electra, Tex., will have the show this week.
NEW THEATERS
A now moving picture bouse is being planned at Fayetteville, Ark., by E. C. Robertson, mana¬ ger of the Y'ietory Theater. The theater, which will accommodate 1,000 patrons, will represent an expenditure of aN>ut $50,000.
A large airdome will be built at Denison, Tex., next summer. Stock companies and tab¬ loid shows will be the policy. Tlie airdome will seat ats'ut 1.200 jHHiple. Pictures and vaude¬ ville will be shown also. Music will be fur¬ nished by a large orchestra.
Contracts will be let for a half-a-million- dollur theater at I’nientown. I’a., early in January, Tbe new house, which will have a seating capacity of 2,00<t, will occupy the site of the Lyric Theater.

The following from Madalya Stoner Bogers (Mrs. Colursdo Granli, Ir.iu Clinbui, M<i • "I notice in the November 27 issue of The Bill¬ board, under the Currul column, where 'Ari¬ zona Bmith’ writes in from Detruit that 'Colo¬ rado Grant' and his wild west were winter¬ ing near there. Mr. Bmith must have made a mistake In regard to the name or title ot a Wild West show wintering tliere. as the original Colorado Grant, my former husband, passed away on August 4. BUI. at Taylorsville, Ky. tils death dues not in any way forfeit the rightful name or title of a show. The Colo¬ rado Grant Show baa not been on the road
for three seasons. However, the trained i#('nies, ete., are being cared for and the show stuff bat been stored at my farm, situated at Bparta, Ky., the winter quarters and home of the Colorado Grant Wild West, Dog and Pony Shows for the past 14 years. The show will go on the road the coming season and will open some time In April.’’
It is well known that Colorado Grant has passed to the Great Beyond, and it has not been made public that his title has since been taken over by some one else. For this very reason, in the article referred to in the alMive communication, the Colorudo Grant Wild West was not mentioned, but Instead as follows: “ ‘Colorado Grant’ (note the quo¬ tation marks) and bis Wild West.” Near the close of the artiole tlie name was again mentioned, but as follows: “tVvlorado Grant’’ ialBo in quotations). By the way. let’s lave a line from this "Colorado Grant,” who is in “partnership with Col. William Murray’’ In a show.

ROSE O'NEILL KEWPIES it Is said there was no busier spot in all Chi- engo than the headquarters of the T. A. Wolfe Superior Shows at the Brevoort Hotel, where Tom Wolfe and his aides entertained lavlahly and kept the ball rolling from daybreak to d,iwn. EveryN dy seems to know ’‘Tom” and those who don’t know him seek an Introduc¬ tion. Ills show, w’lilcb has been making a rapid jump into tbe limelight of late, was one of the most talked of organizations at the fair meetings and if Tom didn’t land any of the real big ones he at least forced the thin edge of the wedge in and put the name “Su¬ perior Shows” solidly on the fair and carnival map.

EQUin PICTURES CORPORATION LOSES JUDGE HAND IN FEDERAL COURT DENIES PERMANENT INJUNCTION
SAYS “FINE ARTS CORPORATION WENT TO LIMBO”
As Important decliloa In the lon^ pendlnc
liUsatlon between tbe Equity rictnrea Corpora¬
tion and tbe Clara Kiiuball Young Film, tbe
Select Pictures CoiiMration and Louis J. Seiznirk
waa rendered last Friday in the U. 9. Circuit
Court lor tbe Southern Diatrict of New York by
Judge Learned Hand, who dismissed the com¬
plaint. Tbe defendants are allowed to take
tt decree for tbe amount of money retained
under the prellmlnaiy Injunction. The costa
vf tbe gctloa are also taxed against the plain-
tuf.
Tbe oplalOB of Judge Hand reads as follows:
“Aa tba relattona between Miss Young and
tbe plaintiff bare now terminated. It la not
apparent to me there la any further need of an
Injunction, nor. Indeed, of any other relief,
liut if tbe defendants in fact wish it tbey may
bate tbe temporary injunction made itermanent,
since that ia tbe usage crea tbo tbe party en¬
joined baa ceased to offend.*’
Summarising tbe facts, which wero tmdlsputed
at tbe trial of tbe cate, Judge Band said:
“On June 17, lbl9. Selznick—1 ahaU use hla
name for all the defeodanta—made hla final set¬
tlement with Mlse Young, which gave him a
lien upon any picturea she might produce her¬
self. On tbe 16th Brownaon had prepared a
contract between Mise Young, as producer, and
Srbnltzer, Berman U Goldstein, as distributors,
by which tbey were to hare the positicea of ten
pinys for use in New England, New York, Ohio,
Illinois and Indiana, upon payment in advance
of 760.000 per picture and 750,000 more by tlie
time tbe gross profits should reach tbe sum of
$200,000, thereafter upon payment of 25 per cent,
of grosa recelpta.
“Before the 22nd. Garson had learned of
Seiznick'a propoeed advertUement of hit rights,
■nd on that Sunday morning everybody concerned
knew of It. Meanwhile Brownaon had gone
bark to Detroit and dire<'ted Baker to form tbo
Fine Art! Film Corporation, which waa done on
the 24tb, and to draw tbe contract between It
and Miss Young, which was sent to New York,
whither Brownson bad then returned, and there
executed on the 26tb. At a meeting in tbe
I Aeolian Building on June 28, at which all were
I present, Includlcg Powers, the final arrange¬
ments were made, followed, on July 1, by the
signing of the contract between Samborn and
the Fine Art Film Corptiration.
*‘Tbese facta established that on June 22,
at the latest, Schnitzer, Berman A Goldstein,
whom I shall call the dlatribukprs, knew the
terms of Se'.znlrk’s settlement with Miss Young.
“The settlement contract gave Miss Young
the right to enter into any bona fide employment,
and I will assume in that case that Felznick bad
retoorse only to a garnishment of her salary or
profits thru the det l-e of an assignment.
“Miss Young did produce. Selznick got a lien,
tinder article 8, on the resulting negatives and
positives which would follow them Into the
bands of any one who took them with notice of
the aettlement.
“An account was struck between Miss Young
and the company as of May 1, 1920. After three
plays bad been produced, and while a fourth was
% in preparation, the total profits on these bad
been $145,995, of which Miss Young's share was
roughly 797,000, and Garson’a 729,000, leaving
aome 719,000 tat the supposltitioua services of
Brownson, tbe titular stockholder. In fact.
Miss Tonng bad received about 7114,000 and
Carson $75,000.
“Thus Miss Young and Gsmon bad nsed up the
•hare of Brownson and had gut 744 In addition.
“Without pretending to be accurate In figures.
It ia plain enough that M ss Young and Girson
got all the profits there were, and that Brov.n-
•on's reservation of 1.7 1-2 per cent for putative
services, which he altogether failed to define, was
designed only to give some color to the cor¬
porate screen.
“Finally, as toon as the contract between
the plaintiff and the Fine Arts Film Corporation
was canceled, perhaps because of the awkward
situation arising fr.'m the temporary injunc¬
tion, the contract of June 2C. 1919, in turn
dissolved as a phant.asm, and so far as one can
Infer the Fine Arts Film Corporation went to llmlH).’*
None of the parties to the action had any
comment to make when approached by a Bill¬
board representative.

THE SO-CALLED PURITAN SABBATH NOT
AN AMERICAN INSTITUTION One of the stock argruments of the fanatics who want to revive the
horrors of Seventeenth Century British Puritanism in the United States of the Twentieth Century is the claim that their "Sabbath” is an Ameri¬ can institution. This Is a falsehood, pure and simple. Reference to any standard text book will reveal the fact that Sabbatarianism is purely a British phenomenon; also the fact that our British cousins have pretty well discarded the obsession which in the days of the Long Parliament held the British Isles in the grip of crazy fanatics.
The late Justice Gaynor, one of the greatest scholars and jurists in American history, writing a judicial opinion which sustained the ,egality of Sunday pictures in the State of New York, had this to say:
“CHRISTIANS OF NO NATION. CHURCH OR SECT. EXCEPT IN THE BRITISH ISLES. AND THERE NOT UNTIL RECENT CEN¬ TURIES. EVER ENTERTAINED THE OLD TESTAMENT NOTION OF A STILL SABBATH, BUT FAVORED AND PRACTICED IN.NO- CENT AND HEALTHY EXERCISES AND AMUSEMENTS AFTER CHURCH HOURS ON SUNDAY'. JOHN KNOX VISITED JOHN CAL¬ VIN OF A SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT GENEVA, AND FOUND HIM BACK AT A GAME OF BOWLS ON THE GREEN.”
Friends of a Rational and genuinely CHRISTIAN Sunday, as op¬ posed to the “Sabbath of the Pharisees.” will be well-rewarded by reading the whole opinion of the court. It will be found in. Volume 127, of the Reports of the Appellate Division of the New Y’ork Supreme Court, the title of the case being “Hemleb against The People.”
The text of the decision will also be found in the Sunday Pamphlet of THE BILLBOARD, which we will gladly send postpaid to any address in the United Stales or Canada.

“Gentlemen—Just recently one of tbe M. P.
magarineo gave vent to tbe cry tbtt the In¬
dependent field waa being crowded out of the
first run bousea, making it rather bard for
independent productiona to get dates.
“If wbat was said waa bated on tbe opiniont
of Independent exebange men. none such opinion
came from our office, Buffalo can be counted
out of the list, aa our big auper featurea are
eaaily placed In first ran bouses.
“In the first place tbe btggeat Independent pro¬
ducer is D. W. Griffith He has bad no trouble in
getting bis worth-while prodoctlons such ti
•Way Down East' placed all over the country.
Why? Because Griffith not only sella film, he
sells prvHluctinn, he sella publicity, be sells muaio
and mainly aslla tbe public.
“Tbe only missing link with some of the
average exebangemeo la tbclr aympathetic friend¬
ly Meat on telling their film. There la no time
to waste friendship because yon do not have
the real features. They must have the real aell-

with good service and different publicity ideas:
these win.

tome sections may be a little off, but any in¬

"In conclusion, toms of tbs so-called Inde¬

potting op the market nice little aeven-llfty

Itealliing that the motion plelure is here not «,Dly to stay, but that It la one of the most (lowerful f-Tces In the country as an edneator, Jules K. Msstl«um, president of the Stanley C.impany, Uwk this subje<-t Into serious consld- tTitk'n In the early part of June last. Since that time an intenbive survey of the photoplay situatk'U c'uvinced him of the necessity of the devek’pment of the photoplay atory along llDt's of technical study. In si>eaklog about this Mr. Nastbaum said: "The average per¬ son has no conce|itlon of the mass of manu- st'rlpts with which producing companies are overwhelmed. They ate intended aa luhsequent v:K'lo;daya, hut it is a fact that owing to lack of technical training In the art of photo- l.lay writing, a defect which can be detected l.y the expert readers In the scenario depart- meta of the various pn.>duclog companies at b.Kht, they are seldom read, hut are returned to the sender at once. It was my good fortune to obtain a glimpse of the workings of the svcnsrio d«Txrtment of one of our leading pro¬ ducers only the other day and my attention was k|>eciflcally failed to a pile of manu¬ scripts sis feet high which had Just arrived thru the mails during the past two days and which I was told bad been bandied by a dozen readers and all rejected because the finish in detail and technicalities was lacking.
“N'ow it may aurprise one to know that this finish Is not to be found even in works of Uie best-known writers, both for the novel read¬ ing public and the stage. When these au- tkora come to the point where they are to prepare scenarios for the motion picture they arc often as much at sea as the merest amateur so far as the re<iulred detail is concerned. Their works have to be fre<iuently rewritten by an experienced scenario writer before the mann- scrlpt can be given to the camera. There are some of these authors, whose works are well known, and whose names are bonsebold words, who have made a study of the technique of the Screen and hence they are enabled to write scenarioe. Many of these have been seen oo the screen at Stanley Comt<any theaters.
“But these authors are exceptions to the general rule of w riters. The majority of them have not the slightest conception of what is necessary for proper screen t>resentatlon. They dll have excellent Ideas—Ideas which If proi>erIy drteloped would result in many splendid screen pljys—hut Uiey are sent tu the pn«Iucer8 In so crude and amateurish form that time cannot he watted in reading more than the first page, and that shows the defects at once to the eye of the trained reader. But with the Ideas present ill that is needed is someone to de¬ velop the latent talent, and tliat someone would taturally be those trained In such work. It Is sot a matter that ran be mastered in a day or month, but by intensive study. Here is where a rollege course la nei'essary. Tlie cuurte whieh Temple University is f' establish Would seem to meet that neeil for Instruction that aiuhitkius writers for the screen reijuire In order to sei'ure a reading for their works.
‘Tt la the opportunity for budding scenar'o writois to gain that knowhslge, and once they do that they are In a position to market the tirml- Ui'ta of their liraiu. Never has there Ix-en stich a deiiHiod for s<-enarlos that will please the public. Klim companies are always looking for new and origliml material and they are willing to pay the highest prices If they can ss- enre It plus the technical details so necessary

In the process of the investigwtion made by us as to the necessity of the development of photoplay story along the linea of technical study Mr. Mastbaum commissioned Harry B. Westcott, who was chairman of the Four- Minute Men of rbUadelpbla7 to study the tedb- alcsl phase of the business.

NEW SCREEN VALUES
An Interesting Interview With Hugo Ballin
The ultimate values of *11 screen-lore are the creative values, and thay reside In the genius of the director. The motion picture Is rooted
too deeply in human psycbolocy to .ipprehend * permanent dislodgment, but it has its fluctua¬ tions, and we all know that it is the upward trend which makes for prospertc. it seems then a natural inference that the best way to speculate on the future of our art is to x- ray the directorial mind—an achievement of no small difficulty, for singularly enough the mind which creates and recreates life on the screen is often inarticulate when It comes to words, Directors, it is true, have been post'd for interviews designed mainly to promote the sale of certain pictures, but this is scarcely the way to gather worth while revelations from the director’s soul.
Now, therefore, when a young director rises to remark—“We must go to our public with a new appeal,” he Is entitled to attention. Let not the reader be alarmed; the statement quoted comes from a man to whom preaching and moralizing is an abomination, a man who in an unusual degree possesses that rarest of quality among artists, the Humility of Mind. He is a man who entered the motion picture field after achieriug a career as a painter, whose measure of success is quite clearly indicated by the fact that his masterpiece Is in the National Museum at Washington, that many public buildings and private residencea have been adorned by him with mural paintings, those In the Capitol of Wisconsin having attained no little fame.
Spe.vklng to a friend some few days ago In his home at Lexington avenue (rich In weM selected objects of art), Hugo Ballln spoke of present day screen-lore and of the acreen-Ioro of tomorrow.
"Like other forms of art, the motion picture has gone thru a cycle of changes. I do not want to analyze the past any further than to say that we have had too much of mere action or, 1 should say. too much of mere movement; too much of the circus and too little of the temple of art. Wo have been whipping and beating the surface without going beneath the surface for the deeper things which mean more than mere motion and action and which Interest and fsecinate the human mind. It la eeareely necessary to elaborate my meaning, but I may add that we have come to the point where the heroine has been ready to Jump off the ellT too often. What wc ought to do now is to keep the hepiine away from the cliff and Interpret her Just as a human being undergoing s>irh struggles as may be part of our own dail.v experience. The oM molds are worn out to the brr.aking p<iint. We must create new ones. I think that the return to the primitive and return to intn'spe.-tlon. the return to the p<'r- trayal of siuil-realism, wilt find a reaiiy and anpreol.aflve public. You may call this mo<1ern- Izlng the motion picture; you may say that In this way we will if tune the motion picture with the best and finest there Is in contempo¬ raneous literature—wonis of description after all mean very little."
Here Mr. Ballin interrupted himself, while his visitor looked about the little library in which the conversation was being carried on. The room was filled with preeuMis mementos of
Italy, many of them pictorial collections of till- great cities of that historic land—prol)abIj the most complete which is to be found on this Bide of the water. Mr. Ballin had spent yesM of bis life in Italy and he carried sway with him spiritual treasures of no mean proportion. This too will appear again and again in his works of the future. We talked of some of the noted beauty simts of Italy, so many of them historic, but alas, as far as human creations are eoncerned, falling into piteous min and decay.
"Have yon been thru the Villa d'Estel” "Tes,** replied the visitor, and spoke of the
dazzling splendor of-doorless rooms, storing Untold artistic values, pretty statuary, mar¬ velous fountirins, and glorious berraces, all neglected and ah.mdoned.
"You carried away then a feeling of sadness as you left the place,” said Mr. Ballin.
The visitor replied In the affirmative. Mr. Ballin’s eyes lighted up and he remarked. "Well, if I can show or reproduce the sad splendors of the Villa in motion pictures and create In your mini the same feeling that came over yon on the spot, then 1 have accomplished one of the objects that 1 propose to strive for In my pictures. It is to let the thing itself speak, to rouse and stimulate thought In the public and to help it to entertsin Itself.”

THE CRITICAL X-RAY
**A Pair of Little Wooden Shoes” should hiivo
been the title of this pleasing, tender picture
of innocence and bncolic atmosphere. Much of
the winsome appeal of Qulda's original work
bas been transferred to the icrrrn version, aided
by aome idyllic scenes of rural almpllclty. The
high lights of the story depend entirely upon
the star's ability to put over the various emo¬
tions which affect an Icmvent girl in her first
love. Therefore the only conflict ia that which
pertains to the heart. The treatment corre-
aponds with the simple human note which per¬
vades the story, offering a picture of no g.cat dramatic force, but one which, nevertheless,
reaches the sentimental side of every man and
woman. The quaint village streett, the run¬
ning stream, the clean, old-fashioned rooms of
the roee-covered cottages were ingeniously ar¬
ranged, appearing almost genuine, eapecitlly
with a hazy effect that lent additional charm
to the photography.
Tonng Raymond McKee, as the nntutored
youth, fitted in the artistic plctnre—the inno¬
cence of the mstic pair being accentuated by
the sorrow of hla troubled eyes.
The small cast was entirely adequate, the
rbaracterizatiODS of tbe old men blending with
the sleepiness of tbe qniet village, presenting a
plctnre which seemed more like a dim pastel
touched with the band of a genius than •
mere cellolold picturizatlon. Tbe camera man

The W. 8. Cherry Attractkms, which ere fill¬ ing an Indoor fair and bazaar date this week in Frankfort, Ind., for the local lodge of Elks, will not show in Covington, Ky.. next week, as previously planned and contiacted for, and in- •teed are most likely to continue their opera- tlona in tbe Honsier State. As a consequence they will thereby get the material benefit of a shorter and nui< h less expensive move.
Tbe Clierry outfit wis si'beduled to open De¬ cember 13 in Cineinuuti's acrrws-tbe-river sub¬ urb, but a late-bo’ir hitch in tbe arrangements for tbe crntrally-«itiiated Market House .Audi¬ torium at Mndiaou ovenue and Seventh street made it Imperative to give the l<^al lodge of Moose a formal notice of cancellation. It is not improbable that the Cherry bazaar organization will exhibit in Covington again this season, but fbe date must necc.-isarily be several weeks hence, possibly late in January or early in Feb- ruar.T.
Late reports fKin Acting Manager Sam Law¬ rence are nut as encouraging as might be wUbed for since tbe organization took to tbe road a ft w weeks «go. Aurora, Ind.. tbe first stand out of Cincinnati, tbowed a rather light business, it IS said, and tbe results of last week’s opera- tious in MartinarUle, another Indiana promo¬ tion, are reported to 'have been quite as dis¬ appointing. Tbe truth of the matter is these burgs are just a wee bit too small for an outfit of tbe present dimensions and operating person¬ nel of tbe Cherry Attractions, a fact which is DOW beginning to be realized, no donbt, by tbe management. This week’s engagement is in Fr-inkfort. under tbe auspices,of tbe Elks, and witb tbe added draught of a saecessful automo¬ bile promotion by General Representative L. C. Beckwith, it should, and no doubt will, be a winner.

"That the earth is the source of all wealth and the welfare of the nation and general happiness of the people depend primarily upon farm crops.
“That while agriculture is the basic founda¬ tion of nearly every human endeavor end its welfare and stability are vital to the republic, yet it languishes, and its ituiioriance and true relationship to industry have failed of recog¬ nition.
"That America is over-indiistriaHsed and tliere is no longer a proper or bate balance between agriculture and industry.
"Tbit while the American farmer kept the faith and produced large crops to feed the country, the price of hia products has declined to such an extent as not only to threaten the bankruptcy of our foundation industry, but to imiH-ril the aocial order.

He advocated the elimination of "Joint*” and qticsiional-ic eoiuess.ous, and the addition of the losa of reveiiue heretofore derived fr<im the patronage of tiiese to tlie legitimate cor.ceasi'in*.

Jii'lge O. A. Henshaw, attorney for the Car- Own ug .M-iniigers’ Association, spoke on the problem of transportation of shows, especially as it affects tlie county fairs. He told of the great floi/d of letters which eame from all over the iitute asking the Oklahoma State Trans- |H>rthtion Comuiission for assistance in solving tl-is iir-ililctii, which proved the rtalm that the shows and extsisitiorn are a piiblle nei-easlty and stimulate other lines In educational and material gii/wth and development.
Fmr^t Rich.ardson. of Calgary, Can., made a splendid plea for praetieal co-operation, asking for a practical applieatiun to the immediate prolilem as it affi.H-ts the Ktate fairs themselves, and that the now two separate fair assoi-iation* take practical steps to get together and elimi¬ nate the strife and waste that two organlxa- tic-na make possible.

I’rcsi.lcnt t!eo. W. Dickinson submitted a let¬ ter wliii h he had si'iit to I'resldent-Elect Hard¬ ing. Here are a couple of paragraphs from Mr. Dickinson's letter tliat are worth paaaiog along to the public:
"The fa.ra of the Fnited f^tates. from those whieh serve a small community to those which display the prodip ts and skill of gn at Rtatea, feel that they have in you a Pe.-xident who will re -ogiiize the work they arc undertaking and accomplishing.
“In the (last few years these exhibitions btve greatly ch.inged and Improved in character, so that they are no longer chiefly recreational In purpose, but are earnest and effective method* of bettering agriculture and of bringing's liet- ter understanding tietween the peofile of tlie city and those from the rural dlstrlcta. They Lave truly become the schoolt of the people,
"S me of tijeni—tlie Michigan State Fair at Detroit—drew dote to a million pe<iple In a period of ten days. It Is always a delight to the real fair men to aee tbo great Interest which the city man takes in country product* and ■which the farmer sbo.v* in those from tlie city, both classes being brviadened and truly educated. The smaller fair* are not le*a UM'ful in their sphere*.
"We fair men have not only heard of your friendly interest in fairs as educational Insti¬ tutions, tint we are certain fiom your generally ronttnictlve and bnadminded attitude, that you will continue to look upon them in a eiilrlt of frlendablp and eo-fiperallon."
Mr. Murphy, chairman of the speilal com¬ mittee. reported the resiilta of the werk of the committee: Inteniational American Fairs and Extiosltions is to he the new name under which the combined associations will now operate. The American Association come* in as memlsTs of the International American Fair* and Kxpoil- tion*. The officer* for the ensuing year are: J. W. Iliisaworiii, Tennessee, president; I. S.

The mezzanine floor of the Sherman Hotel was crowded with sbowfolks and their friends for two days and evenings, and they all 8;ient their money most liberally. The simple statement that the bazaar baa net¬ ted the Auxiliary almost $2,500 is the beat sort of proof that the affair was a huge aucceaa. A great deal of credit is due the various com¬ mittees for the Wonderful way they stood by and wxirked until the lust minute Tuesvlay even¬ ing that everything might be closed out and as much as |H>ssibIe realized fer the charitable work of the .kuxiliary. Mrs. Henry T. Belden, the general chairman uf the Baz.iar Committee, proved a most able ciiairman. She was here, there and everywhere, planning and directing, and aa a result of her careful direction of the affairs there was very little confusion In open¬ ing up and things were kept going with aeem- ingly no effort at all.
The following commiftees were in charge of the various iHiutbs: Mrs. .knna Gunnarson, fan¬ cy work booth; Mrs. R. H. Jones, ai'ron booth; Mrs. L. 0. Hoeckner, flower booth; Mra. Edward C.

ACTORS, ACTRESSES AND ARTISTS
LADIES’ LIST
who elect to make their permanent addresa 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 lest 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 list. Address your postal to “Mail Forwarding Service, The Billboard.”
