Now. the story so well told In semi-factiou form, has had Its ending In real life. Rev. Lunday Harris, the "Circuit Rider" about whom revolved the story, died by suicide In a retreat near CartersvIIle. Gs.. recently. The story created considerable attention throughout the country. It was anonymous, bat In toe first few Instalments was recognized the talented hand of Mrs. L. H. Harris, who during the recent years had developed a literary style unusual In its clearness and apt in Its crlspneas and breadth. Mr. and Mrs. Harris were during the greater part of their lives residents of Georgia. He belonged to the North Georgia Conference, and during' most of the year's "rode" country cir- cuits, where the pay waa small, opportunity for attracting attention meager, appreciation often lacking, but chance for doing good im- mense. ▲ few years ago. he held a charge at Col- lege Park near Atlanta, and during the past year or two. having resigned active pastoral work on account of 01 health, filled a position with a Methodist publishing house in Nash- ville.

Each feature of the amusement. business will be separately and exhaustively provided and commented upon. There will be articles dealing with The Theatrical Season So Far ; The Shake-up in the Booking Field; The Status of The Motion Picture J The Evolution of Vaudeville > The Progress of Melodrama ; The World of White Tops; The Carnival of The Present; Future of The Amusement Park; The Youngest of The Amuse- ment Family; Making.Demand for Music ; Since Bur- lesque Cleaned House. These articles will all be written from an intimate knowledge of conditions and will deal with vital facts and phases. In addition to these special features, The Christmas Number will contain the usual departments devoted to the week's news and information. The List Feature will constitute the publication of our revised and cor- rected lists of theatres and motion picture theatres in all the cities of the United States and Canada exceed- ing 20,000 population. The Number will be profusely illustrated with timely, appropriate and beautiful photographs of people iden- tified with the profession of amusement in both its artistic and business departments. The cover will be beautifully lithographed in five colors and will be- sufficiently attractive to warrant its .preservation by all lovers of beauty in poster effect. In fact, the nature of The Christmas Number will warrant its preservation in entirety for many months, inasmuch as the information contained in it will be of usefulness and assistance for a long time. The very advertisements, of which there will be a vast number in the Christmas Number, will constitute an interesting kind of reading of a practical nature. On another page of this issue will be found an order slip, which being filled out and mailed to us with 10c. will insure any of our transient readers the receipt of a copy of The Christmas Number, which will be so large- ly in demand that the news-stands may not be able to fill all the requests. An effective alternative would be for those who are desirous of procuring copies of The Christmas Number to make reservation and deposit the price of single copies with their news dealers early next week so that the increased demand for the special number will not deprive them of it. suffering, the "Circuit Rider" awallowed poison and wrote "finis" to a story thst will lire among the great depletions of heart ' tragedies. ♦ - Executive atsff for the Bam 8. and Lee Shu bert (Inc.)

Yh B 1,1 1 boar d IThe American Drama and Dramatist The history of drama and dramatist? in America, discloses the fact that this country has not been prolific In dra matic authors. The list of those who have produced works that have lived the required time to become standard or classic Is very small, but this list, howbeit terse, contains a few of in- ternational fame. Dramatizations and adaptations, have In recent years been found far more profitable than author- t ship, and the present system of one Person star acting, has subordinated author, adapter and the army of actors alike to the one chief performer. Hence, many of the pieces that have attained popularity in recent years, are known almost wholly by the name of the star actor or actress. A few years ago. patrons of the drama went to see Brown's Deluge; now they generally go to see Smith In the Deluge. And so, with few exceptions, the author or adapter has become a personage con- sidered of little importance. As pre- viously noted, the list of American dramatists la small and with but few shining lights. Robert M. B.lrd. whose lifetime was from 1803 to 1854, wrote three tragedies. I. e.. The Gladiator (In which Edwin Forrest achieved one of his most pronounced successes). Or- aloosa, and the Broker of Bogota, in 182S, George H. Boker. of Philadel- phia, began his earthly existence, and amid his public and other literary duties, produced the tragedies, Calay- nos. In 1848, and Anne Boleyn, In 1850. Leonor de Guzman, Francesca da Rim- ini. The Betrothal, and The Widow's Marriage, are among others from his David Paul Brown was" born In 1T95. His penchant wis law, and dur- ing his services at the bar, he devel- oped a literary ability, which gave to the stage the tragedy Sortorlus. or the Roman Patriot. In this drama the elder Booth appeared in the title role. Among his other dramatic effusions may be mentioned a melodrama, called The Trial. The Prophet of St. Paul's, and a farce. Love and Honor. Brown died at the ripe old age of 77 years. Bartley Campbell, who Is considered the most prolific of American dram- atists was born in 1843. His extreme application to the writing of dramas resulted In Insanity and death. He died during the year 1888. Principal among his works were: Through Fire, produced In 1871; Peril, written the following year; Fate. Risks, The Vir- ginian, and Gran Vale, produced In 1874: On the Rhine. Heroine In Rags. How Women Love, the title of which was later changed to The Vigilante*. Clio, Fairfax or Life In the Sunny South. My Partner. The Galley Slave, My Qeraldine, Siberia, Paqulta, The White Slave, and Matrimony. Another student of the law whose dramatic efforts were famous in their time, was Robert T. Conrad. He was i In 1810. and lived until 1858. His work was noticeable In Aylmere, which tragedy Edwin Forrest bought outright from the author, and In which he appeared for many yean. He took the part of Jack Cade, and the fame of the actor In that character grad- ually led the play to be better known by the principal part than tta title. Conrad wrote a tragedy which he called The Heretic, but It Is the gen- eral belief that this play was never put on the stage. Augustln Daly, born in 1838, besides -adapting many French and German works, wrote Divorce, Pique, Horizon, and Under the Gaslight. In 1852, the noted platform lecturer, Anna E. Dickinson was born. During her career, she wrote A Crown of Thorns, and appeared In the principal role during 1876. Later she wrote Aurellan for John McCullough. Julia Ward Howe, contributed The World's Own to dramatic literature, and also wrote Hippolytus for Edwin Booth. The former was played at Wallack's Theatre, in 1885. but the latter has never been published nor acted. » Joseph Stevens Jones, born In 1811, and who died in 1877, was credited with the authorship' of more than 200 plays, among which the best known are: The Silver Spoon, Solon Shingle. Eugene Aram, Siege of Boston, Moll Pitcher, The Carpenter of Rouen. The While America was still a colony, or to give the exact date. William Dunlap was born In 1766. He was an artist, but his two most important literary efforts. The Father, and Andre, met with considerable favor and enthu- siasm. Mr. Dunlap died In 1839. A prologue to the rollicking panto- mime. Huoipty Dumpty, was written by Abraham Oakley Hall, for a period Mayor of New York. This statesman also wrote The Crucible, in which he appeared as Wllmot Klerton. Branson Howard was born In 1841. To him might be applied the distinc- tion of being the father of the society play In America. His chief writings ere: Saratoga, produced In 1870; Dia- monds, in 1872: Hurricane. 1878: The Banker's Daughter, the same year; Wives, 1879: Toung Mrs. Wlnthrop. 1882; One of Our Girts, 1886; and Met by Chance, produced In 1887. Surgeon of Paris, The Last Dollar, Paul Revere, and Captain Lascar. It was In the Silver Spoon that Wm. Warren, as Jefferson Scattering Bat- ktns, achieved one of his earlier Anna Cora Mowatt, born In 1819. and who died In 1870. was an actress ot exceptional ability, a writer of pleas- ing fiction, and the author of three plays. Guizara, The Persian Slave, Fashion, a comedy, and Armand or the Peer and the Peasant. James Kirk Paulding, a friend of and collaborator with Washington Ir- ving, acknowledged authorship of a volume of comedies. Including the Buck tails, or the American In England. He was assisted in these by his son, Washington Irving Paulding. He was born in 1779, and died In I860. John Howard Payne (1792-1862) author of a large number of dramas. It was In his Clarl. or the Maid of Milan, that he Introduced his eternal song. Home. Sweet Home. His Brutus, a tragedy, was produced In 1818, with Edmund Kean In the prin- cipal part, and his Charles the Second was a favorite with Charles Kemble. Epes Sargent wrote a five-act play. The Bride of Genoa, for Josephine Clifton, and a tragedy, Velasco, for Ellen Tree. Harriet Beecher Stowe, with no In- tention of producing a work for dra- matic presentation, invested Uncle Tom's Cabin, with such a wealth and completeness of dramatic requisites, that the book fell almost naturally into the lines and situations of stage action. Uncle Tom's Cabin proved one of the most thrilling dramas the world has ever Nathaniel Parker Willis (1807-67) wrote two dramas, Tortesa, the Usurer, and Bianca Vlscontl. and Samuel Wood worth (1785-1842) produced sev- eral dramas, but the fame of his i The Old Oaken Bucket, of all his other writings. Of the present day dramatic authors whose works can stand the test of public opinion, there are but very few. David Belasco, the peer of living American dramatists, has one or two plays to his credit that have withstood several seasons of hard usage. Clyde Fitch has written a few plays that may live out another generation, and there may be one or two i who will be children and grandchildren of who read this article, have attained the age . of theatre-going, but that is all. American dramatic literature of- fers nothing that can be immortalized. England, France, Germany and other European countries have produced writers and are of : round. Shakespeare. Mollere. and others too numerous to here, will delight the Intelligent play- goer. America, first in industry, greatest in wealth and grandest In Its govern- ment. Is lacking In the finer arts. Not only has It produced less artists, fewer musicians and a smaller number of writers than Its older relatives, but Its people are without the temperament and artistic qualities so delightful in our European cousins. We must, however, consider this: No country has achieved such remarkable progress as America. In the records of ment as Is the case of the United States. If we must acknowledge an inferiority in artistic developments, we can point to our Industrial achieve- ments with more pride than any other nation. We are a young nation. Shakespeare's advent was sixteen hun- dred years after the Christian era be- gan. Our greatest writers (with few exceptions) have lived in the past three or four centuries. If we could glimpse Into the future, perhaps visions of even greater writers than our Immortal poets and authors would be revealed to us. Who knows what great genius may be morrow?

Lawrence Weber Co-operative Booking Company New York, Not. 25 (Special to The Billboard). — Announcements hare been made that a. cir- cuit similar to the one operated by Stair and Hail In bai been formed, and that the promoter* an rapidly Interesting theatre managers through- out the country In the Be heme. No antagonistic rivalry to the old lad established firm of Stair and Havlln Is mentioned and the primary motive Is by no means to wage battle on the solidly founded melodramatic company. When the announcements were made last July, that a new melodramatic and musical comedy circuit would be formed, the wiseacres In the show business snook their beads Incredulously, and offered the opinion that It would not be a go. That the Idea waa not merely a beautiful chimera, has been proven, however, tor the promoters have organised with a capital stock of S123.000. The new company Is known aa the I*. Law- rence Weber Co-operative Booking Company. Associated with Mr. Weber are B. K. Hynl-k- I. Herbert Mack and Bam 8. Scrlbner. They will begin operations In August, with 40 thea- tres at their command, at least two of which will be in Greater New York. In general - the booking system will follow wheel scheme of the Columbia Amassment two enterprises have The attractions will „_s and musical shows. The new circuit of theatres is but the long delayed outcome , of an Insurgency of years' standing, beaded 'in the first Instance by Gas HH1. The attractions of this manager for a num- ber of seasons were Stair A Havlln staples. Few other producers made money in the popu- lar- price theatres, but the Bill shows rare- ly failed to "bring- home the bacon." But the time came when Mr. Hill also balked, to the extent of catting down the num- be an Invitation to producing managers. HUI's name does not appear organizers of the new Stair ahout* P tn" OT re tt Ues b 'for there Is no question that be has been preparing for some months to branch oat next season upon a scale far In excess of . his activities of re- cent years. Acting aa organizing agent for the parties mentioned above, are two energetic men, the Messrs. Drake and Elroy. and it is said that they are meeting with entirely satisfactory success in adding to the general structure. It seems to be taken for granted that the new Bronx Theatre secured by Gordon A North will be added to those In control of the move- ment against Stair It Havlln, but that Is 00.) It was alleged at the time that the exac- tions of the circuit managers In the matter of terms were such as to preclude the possibility •f profits upon shows of desirable quality — for In order to secure time In the theatres where money could be msde It was neces- sary also to play the other booses where there was no living chance for an even break. Other conditions also were complained of, ' It was the aim of Mr. Htn and his asso- thelr circuit upon lines which Important Decision Rendered Toronto.

"Not only would the east army of persons who are actually engaged In the business suffer, but the savings of thousands of small investors are threatened by schemes recently announced which would only have the effect of ruining the proprietor* in which they are Interested.

I fancy that before very lone we are going to see a very acute Oghr In London between the electric theatres and the religious bodies. The Istter claim that tbe picture palaces tend to demoralize the young and accentuate the "Con tlnentsiislng" of tbe Sabbath. 80 far as I have been able to discover, no objection has been taken to the character of the Sims shown, bnt the objection will be lost on tbe general ground that It is wrong for any amusements to be Indulged In on Sundays. Tbe fact of the matter la that the picture abovt-a. where opened 00 Sundays, have proved an enormous success. They have clearly dem- onstrated that tbe public needs amusement dh Sundays. In fact, tbe popularity of the shows . goes far to prove that If tbe theatres and music halls were opened on Sundays there would be plenty of people to make them a great success What the religious bodies are therefore np - against la the growing tendency to make Sunday a day of pleasure In London. Only those who hare experienced one can Imagine how deadly dull a London Sunday can be although the Inno- vation of the electric theatres during tbe last two years bas brightened up tbe appear- ance of things Immensely. It Is unquestion- able that the great mass of the population waats Just as many facilities for amusement on tbe Sunday as on every other day. On tbe other hand the Sabbathsrlans are Just as deter- mined * that : the old Puritan Sundar shall re- main as firmly established ss even For this reason they regard the picture paUces as tie thin end of tbe wedge snd are dghtin^ them tooth and sail accordingly.

Consequently, an Important case such as this one Is materially strengthened by being pre- sented by able connsel, as ' the : railroads have attorney a galore, and when a person other than a lawyer attempts to argue a matter before them, they feel as" though their dignity is being sacrificed and prefer to listen only to the pub- lic si witnesses. •-, I hare not -entered Into the Tamlslan* mat- ter -with Mr. Busby as we felt that' we could proceed .with' more stable reference If we waited until the Arkansas .matter became a statute, and then.

The "Imp*' Company at Enormous Expense Secures Exclusive Contract with the To Pose in a Special "Imp** Release Out bidding and outgeneraling another film manufacturer (not an Independent one), the "Imp" Company, has secured an exclusive contract with Count de Beaufort, the now famous French nobleman whose -private affairs have been crowding the columns of newspapers all over the civil- ized world during the past three weeks. The Count, by the time, this adver- tisement appears, will have posed before "Imp" cameras with other perfomers in a drama entitled "The Romance of Count de Beaufort.", The film is to be released the minute we can complete the developing, printing and shipping. It will be one of the greatest FEATURE FILMS ever produced in America. For the first time, in the history of moving pictures a GENUINE, BONA-FIDE NOBLEMAN will appear in the leading role of a ing picture playlet. Imagine what it means to every INDEPENDENT EXHIBITOR who gets this FEATURE FILM! Imagine what a sensation it will cause in every city, village and hamlet where there is a moving picture theatre ! Imagine what a local sensation every Independent Ex- hibitor can create by advertising such a film in his local newspapers ! jyowttien. a worjf to every Independ- ent Exhibitor — a i word we want you to give your most serious thought — The "Imp" Company can not possibly make a cent of profit on this release. The price paid to Count de Beaufort makes profit out of the question. We are spend- ing this money for two reasons: First — To give Independent Exhibitors some- thing to crow about. Second— To adver- tise, the enterprise of the "Imp" Com- pany. If you Independent Exhibitors 4 want to derive the benefit of such a FEATURE FILM it is up to you to do one thing, namely — -. TELEGRAPH your exchange to book you for the "Romance of Count de Beau- fort" at the earliest possible moment. Don't wait to write, TELEGRAPH, and do it now! The film will cost vou more your exchange more. Don't quibble with your exchange about the extra charge. Pay it like a true sport. You are not taking any chances. You are go- ing to get a feature film that you'll be glad to get on a return date more than once,!

The shake-up in the booking field that occurred the latter part of last season and which has extended into this season in an even more aggravated form, has managers of the- atres and attractions in different sections of the country guessing as to what attractions they are going to get At times, they do not even know whether they are going to get any. The traveling manager for his part does not know from one town to another in several sections of the country whether he < is .going to play one house or another until he gets into the' city where the en- gagement is to be filled. Wrangling often occurs. Sometimes the travel- ing manager will find that If he plays according to contract, he will see- saw back and forth between Klaw and Erianger's an 1 The Shuberts* theatres Indefinitely. This is the re- sult of a subsequent change in the circuits that occurred after he had made his contract with one or the other. A little chain of theatres here, that ; yesterday belonged to Is today being booked by The Shu- berts, and over there another chain of theatres that were being booked by The Shuberts is being booked by the Klaw- and Ertanger-offlces to- day. Sometimes the manager of a traveling attraction will insist on. playing the theatres 'according to his original contract, then a wrangle takes place, and bad feeling ensue. This was the case with Al. G. Field, the minstrel man, in the South this season. He insisted on playing houses according to his original contract, and' he did play them. The result was that in each stand where the booking was in contro- versy, he was forced to put up" a. guarantee fund, and this fund in the aggregate now must amount to many thousands of dollars. On the other hand the manager of a thea- tre which was formerly a link ill a chain booked in connection with one of the big circuits finds that his booking office has transferred Its aSlllatlon, and left him on a high sea of uncertainty. These chaotic conditions prevail for the most part In the South, and the Northwest, and may be ascribed to the insurgent movement that was started last spring when Jul- . lus Cahn and Mose Rets severed their connection with what Is known as the theatrical syndicate (consisting of Klaw and Erlanger, Frohman and Hayman, and Nixon and Nlrdllnger) and affiliated them- selves wtth the Shuberts. They were followed later by the booking agents of chains of theatres In many parts of the country, the most significant being that of John Cort, whose chain of theatres ex- tended . through several states of the extreme Northwest. It was first expected that the Theatrical Producing Managers' Asso- ciation would repudiate the insurgent house managers and booking agents. The Theatrical Producing Managers* Association did repudiate the organization who styled itself the Theatre Owners' Association, but Wm. A Brail y was followed by several others of the Theatrical Produc- ing Managers* Association in declaring his independence' from The Theatrical Producing Managers' Association, and allying himself with the Theatre Owners'. Association. The latest development is the consummation of a sort of protocol between the antagonistic factions, which It is believed will result In a final arrangement by which the attractions of both big booking agencies will be reciprocally booked into the houses one of the other. If this condition Is brought about, it will be the nearest approach to the ideal that we have made in this country. It is difficult to anticipate just what the effect of an amicable arrangement of this kind would be. One con- tingency Is almost assured: a good many houses would be eliminated, for whereas there were too many attractions and not enough houses before the Messrs. Shubert broke away from the syndicate, so many bouses have been built and opened since that time that there are now average • for Him too many first-class houses for the attractions that are available. It ia more than probable that a great many of these houses will go over to vaudeville. On the other hand, some observers of the situation maintain that the conditions will revert to first principles; that is, that the .situation will resolve itself again so that managers of theatres will book their own attractions — that is, make their contracts direct with the managers of the attractions, and disregard altogether the booking agents. Whether this condition would be healthy or not is a question. It would mean long jumps .and uncertain engagements unless each manager of an at- traction should maintain a regular booking staff on hts own account. This would be so difficult as -to be almost Impossible. So the situation stands chaotic in the extreme, with no immediate prospect of order. The syndicate bookings have reached a very high state of system. The local manager had been almost entirely relieved of the re. sponslbillty of booking his attrac- tions. He would depend upon his booking agents to supply him with a list of attractions of a very high quality. It only remained to give these attractions- the . necessary, sort of co-operation ' after they were booked, and when they came Into his theatre, per- haps this elimination of responsi- bility on. the part of the theatre manager was not the best thing for the business. In any case, the man- agers got -out of touch" with the pulse of the public; their energy -In drawing the crowds waned; they came to depend almost entirely up- on the drawing power of their at- tractions for bringing patronage to the theatres. Perhaps the manager was too nearly eliminated as a fac- tor. His power of observation be- came atrophied. Getting away from the dally grind he lessened his en- .. ergy and, to an extent, lost Interest In time he became to feel that his personality was not to be taken In- to consideration as an influence' In bringing people to his theatre. - All this was bad. Personality goes a long way. The patrons of theatres even In the big cities like to come Into personal contact with the managers of the theatres who are providing them with their weekly amusements. No doubt the time has come when the . theatre managers will have to return to their alert ieek- lng for patronage; when they will have to exercise their ingenuity to attract patronage to their houses. Where the owner-manager does not possess this quality of personality he may have to engage, and pay for the services of energetic men who do possess this quality to manage his theatres. Perhaps this to the solution and when all the edges have been rounded off. and all the corners have been success- fully turned, we will return to that state of settled bookings, plus local "■ - •- 1 manager's- efforts, that character- ized the- days before the revolution in theatrical amusement In America. It is hardly probable that as some contend, the day will come again when managers will book their attractions Independently. This plan would entail too much expense and Involve too much uncertainty. It would, of course, restore the old order of competition, but competition in the amusement business is usually accompanied by a degree Of chaos and extravagance of expenditure that, coupled with the essential ab- sence of rules for success, precipitates affairs Into the states alter- nately of feverish- panic and passive Indifference. Individual bookings are more consistent with the successful conduct of vandevllle than of the "legitimate." This is because It is more expen- sive for entire companies to travel than It Is for Individual acts to And their way from town to town. There would be little chance for big companies employing barnstorm* ing methods. In the days and in the districts of barnstorming, salaries were as uncertain as the weather In April, and where salaries are un- certain conditions are unhealthy. In any contingency, somebody Is sure to get the worst of It. The very secret of all perpetuation Is natural THE BILLBOARD XMAS NUMBER, 1910 ooooooooooooooooo j AUDEVHJL.E is as different from the old-time variety as a healthy and fully developed child sprung from puny parents is different from them. Variety was the amusement of our days of development. Vaude- ville is the amusement of our days of maturity as a commercial community. Variety was a sort of ille- gitimate off-spring from the French revue. Vaude- ville stands alone as a peculiar and characteristic form of amusement. It is different in America than in England. We believe that the American vaude- ville performance Is better than that given in the English Music Hall, the English point of view to the contrary notwithstanding. We are just as certain that vaudeville is superior to the French revue. Let us see what vaudeville la: In the revue which corresponds more closely to our musical comedy,- than our vaudeville does to It, there is sort of a wraith of a. plot manifesting it- self here and there; insinuating lt- ' self where it has no business, and twiriR to make its presence felt in spite of all obstacles. The descrip- tion of the French revue Is really .the -definition or vaudeville accord- ing to the true significance of the word, but vaudeville has out-grown its definition. The American vaudeville per- formance is put together to enter- tain all classes of people and people of all grades of Intelligence above the lowest. . That is where It In the West we have such doughty spirits as Martin Beck, who, having strengthened his own forces to the point where he was in abso- lute authority In the West, attained to the point where he had an equal voice with his Eastern compeers in making terms. The Orpheum Cir- cuit has long been one of the strongest organizations of theatres devoted to vaudeville amusement Sullivan & Consldlne In the far West operate a chain of houses that reach all the way to the Ohio Valley. There are numerous others, like Sun and Pantages, who have attained < to a very high degree of success in the operation of vaudeville circuits of thea- tres and catalogues of acts!".' It's a great business, this thing of amusing the brain-fagged Amer- ican public, and not the least great of the several branches and forms of amusement is vaudeville. A few years ago, in a Western city, a man without capital but with" unbounded confidence In his own ability, opened up a little' theatre, the main entrance of which was on alley. Vaudeville was variety early days of vaudeville, or rather In the days when variety was in its prime, there were com- paratively very few theatres de- voted to this form of amusement In the United States. There was no systematic method of booking vaudeville attractions. Variety troupes trooped where they could get engagements, and Invariably they traveled as organisations. To-day la is all different. The Mils are made up according to the. plans .of the managers of local vaudeville .theatres. Each manager selects those acts which he knows from experience with . his public will please his patrons', taste. Indirect- ly then, or by representation, the American public In each section. In each city, or town is choosing those vaudeville acts from week to week that will afford It the most pleasur- able kind of entertainment. But this Is not to say that the vaudeville booking agents are with- out voice in the matter. They are primarily responsible for the high standard to which vaudeville has It has not been a great . years since F. F. Proctor. B. F. Keith, E. F. Albee, Percy Wil- liams and others were not only In- dependent of each other, but were engaged In the strongest kind of competition. The growth of vau- deville,' Its development In resour- ces, made the combination of these powerful _ trary to the usual rule in such matters, the elimination of competition contributed to a general elevation of the vaudeville system as a whole. Today, the vaudeville performer can not only get bookings from coast to coast with short Jumps and week engagements throughout the whole trip, but he can cross the Atlantic on the same contract and play many weeks' bookings In Europe. A few years ago, William Morris was a salaried employe In a vau- deville booking office. Today he Is one of the moat powerful booking agents in the world. There Is hardly an Instance in amusement- annals where one man practically without capital ever succeeded so far In attracting the Investment of other people's money to meet his enormous capacity for conceiving and executing vaudeville coups. Within a very short period' Of time Mr. Morris was. able to make contracts with vaude- ville performers for extensive engagements throughout the United States. He alone, on his own responsibility and without any great amount of capital of his own, succeeded In accomplishing what others, with seem- ingly equal experience and ability and an unlimited command of capital have failed to do. then, and this little theatre was the only one of Its kind In the city. People went to it. They found the entertainment so pressing that they went again, and finally became reg- ular patrons. The manager's ness grew and the manager with his business. He Improved his house, and as far as it was within his power, he Improved his per- formance. Finally the house was rebuilt with the entrance on one of the principal thoroughfares, the manager reached out am quired interest In theatres in cities. He became a power to reckon with. This in a concrete Instance. Ex- amples In the abstract might be cited without number. They show not only the possibilities of vaude- ville for amusing the public, for Interesting the people, and attract- ing their money, but they show also the possibilities open to the man of brains and ability, whether he has capital, or not. One man's ability may lie In managing theatres; an- other's may lie in providing acta and performances for those thea- tres; but there la money in vaude- ville. From the' professional point of view: many a consummate artist of the histrionic kind has been attract- ed from the so-called legitimate "legitimate" In its of this Is Keenan, whom William Winter once called the representative American actor. Amelia Bingham aeems to prefer vaudeville to the theatre where regular dramatic per- formances are given. Numerous ex- amples of alienation from the legiti- mate to the vaudeville stage might be mentioned. They would all tend to the same end: to show that va- riety (or vaudeville) has been di- vested of all its unsavory attach- ments.' Vaudeville stands to-day as a form of amusement that is as as to any other form. Vaudeville is legiu- The public taste In amusement changes. The change Is the resu t of progression and. deductively, the progression Is the result of competi- tion. Of competition there will always be sufficient in vaudeville.

Its halcyon days were fewer than they would have been had not the attraction of the carnival, as a means of making big profit on small capital, enlisted under its banner, unscrupulous men of questionable prin- ciple, who gave no thought to the future, of the but were satisfied to get what they could out of it while it This spirit sounded the knell of the carnival business a3 the . lucrative form of amusement the United States has ever known. The carnival started modestly. Prank W. Gaskill. of Canton, Ohio, is generally credited with having instituted it in the form which be- came most popular. Mr. Gaskill's immediate and tremendous success advertised the possibilities of the business to such an extent that Frank Bostock and Francis and James Ferari joined their capital of a similar kind of Immediately there were imitators beyond the space to enumerate, and the carnival business took on such a boom as no entertainment of the indoor and outdoor character had Methods of book- The advance (who immediately became i a promoter) would go in- to a town and by some clever de- vice engender a carnival spirit among the merchants, manufactur- ers and business men of the com- munity. A meeting would be called and the promoter would put his proposition before the members present. Then a guarantee fund would be raised. The whole Idea being based upon the prospect of Increased business in the town be- cause of the attraction. The car nival aggregation usually consisted of a number of separate and dis- shows, concessions : and set up on the i of t various shows, vices and in addition to them the privilege men. all paid either per- centage of the gross receipts or stipulated amounts of privilege money to the company in control of the! outfit. So in addition to the guarantee fund or bonus money, which was usually sufficient in amount to carry the aggregation from town to town, the so-called proprietors of these communities of shows received large amounts in aggregate percentages from the various attractions and privileges. It was a unique business and es- sentially a business capable of large returns while its popularity lasted. But as any man of organizing abil- ity could launch a carnival com- pany (provided he employed promoters who could make contracts with local committees), and as the moral character and business integrity of the majority of these organizers was conspicuous by its absence, the carnival, or street fair business, took on a quality of unsavory I ness and discredit among the better class of citizens that made it practically Impossible for local committees, however strong their influence, to 5- the use of the streets from their city governments for carnival The first serious blow that the carnival business received, however, was its repudiation by. the Supreme Lodge of Elks. Up to that time, Elks' lodges, being composed usually of the most progressive and en- terprising men of the various local communities, • were most readily made to see the commercial and business possibilities contingent upon the "holding of street fairs, and as the fame of the carnival business spread among the Elks' lodges scattered throughout the country, the efforts of the carnival promoters were reduced to a minimum. The secretaries of the Elks' lodges, often being instructed to seek to induce carnival companies to visit the cities represented by these lodges. In a short time, however, the bad repute of the carnival business and its close alliance with Elks' lodges, threatened the reputation of the Elks themselves, and at the Grand Lodge convention, held in Los Angeles, the edict went forth, placing a ban upon the sponsoring of carnivals by the local lodges. Of course. Elks' lodges continued to father carni- vals clandestinely and surreptitiously, but when this was done, the In- fluence of the Elks auspices was lost, and the result was not as gratify- ing as it had been before. Meantime, unscrupulous carnival men con- tinued to present meretricious, salacious and demoralizing attractions, such as Egyptian dances and other performances of equally debasing character. From the warmest approval, local communities went to the of irreconcilable repudiation of the carnival business, and a of the real progressive and far-seeing m a n agers of carnivals • driven out of the business along with their unscrupulous colleagues competitors. To-day there are probably a dozen carnival companies of real importance operating In the United States. Their methods of doing business have been systematized and dis- ciplined to the extent that shows are assured of a : if not a feverish popularity In the sections they visit. During the past two years a good many cities that had been closed to carnivals by the bad repute of the business, have again opened, though there is lit- tle prospect that the carnival busi- ness will ever again reach the pop- ularity that it enjoyed during the seasons of 1902 and 1903. r That the carnival business has kept alive at all, is due to such progressive and undaunted spirits as C W. Parker, James Patterson, Herbert A- Kline. Harry Snyder and several others. A year or two ago, Harry Sny- ' der. of The Great Cosmopolitan Shows, conceived the Idea of an enormous tent under which his at- tractions, concessions, privileges, and devices were to be sheltered from the elements, but on account of the difficulty attendant 1 upon the erection and taking down of this enormous canvas (which was big- ger than that used by any of our biggest circuses), the project finally abandoned at to The Whatever may be the future of the carnival business— whatever may be the stigma attaching to it in its lowest form, it stands and will probably continue to stand as the most prosperous while it lasted as well as the most popular and the most widely self-advertising form of amusement ever known in this country. After the American street Fair became so tremendously popular, amusement promoters in other parts of the world, seeing Its advantages, were enterprising enough to insti- tute the same form of amusement in divers places. The carnival in reality spread to the Antipodes, and while it never enjoyed the vogue , ■ anywhere else that it did in Amer- ica, it has prove J very popular In other places. . In the Azores, the pleas- ure-loving Latins took readily to carnival amusement, and It flourishes there to-day from season to season. During the great popularity of the street fair in America, a carnival man visited Gibraltar, and selecting a post card showing the precipitous character of the country, he wrote upon It to a friend In America: "This would be a hell of a good carnival town if there was only some place to put up the shows." A great many of those enterprising showmen who made fortunes In the carnival business, and who were either forced out or abandoned It Of their own accord When Its -popularity waned.' have since engaged In other forms of amusement, where their carnival experience has stood them In good stead. So the carnival served Its purpose. Its day of greatest popularity constitutes an epoch In the amusement business. Those showmen- who have clung to the business are now deriving a very substantial profit from season to season.* though their returns are nothing to be compared with what the same aggregations would have netted them a few years ago.

The growth and development of popular music publishing in this country. If treated chron- ologically and with the necessary degree of senti- ment, would read like a. romance. It remained for Americans to discover, or invent, a systematic means of exploiting popular song suc- cesses. It is logical (as it Is strange that the dis- covery has never been made before) that the vaudeville performer should have been chosen as this agency of popularization. In England they had long had the music hall, which, in its turn, was a development from the Saturday evening singing sessions in the public house; but in England the custom has been, as it still is — for each singer to practically teach the words and air of each song to his audience. This, of course, eliminates the possibility of wide circulation for pub- lished music. This custom of Inculcating by repetition, dates back to When the visitors and patrons at the public house selected a chairman, whose duty it was to teach the members the words and tunes of all the latest songs. The English music hall never outgrew this, and the custom is as boorsome to the visitor from for- lt Is discouraging to him who contemplates the publica- tion of popular music in Englan 1, as conducted in the United States. Traditions In England are not easily overcome. So It is that the publication of popular music In America is unique in Its methods, founded on the strongest foundation for success, and characterised by principles of system and national predisposition that make for its prosperity. When we hark back to the tre- mendous vogue of Little Annie Rooney. Mary Green. Comrades. Down On the Farm. After the Ball; and their innumerable successors In public favor, and larity. we begin to i pioneers who were responsible for the exploitation of these songs on the system that gave them popu- larity In all sections of the country at the same time, had discovered a medium well calculated to. supplant the old method of dissemination them would be considered (and would probably be really) an Injustice. Eut out of this chaos grew system and order. The song writers who had temperament and little business acumen returned to the writing of songs, and left the publishing of them to those of better business judgment. To-day the publication and distribution of popular music is con- ducted on the strictest business principles. It would entail many pages to describe these methods. Suffice It to say that the business of music publishing never was on so high a scale of commercial conduct, and never was the outlook for Its future brighter than it is to-day. The process has been "survival of the Attest:" elimination of the unlit; destruction of those supererogations of composition that once threatened the entire Industry. So we see that those conditions,' indigenous to America, which gave rise to our system of popular music publishing, and which have fostered and nurtured it through many vicissitudes, still obtain — are, in fact, indestructible. We have | At the same time It gave rise to the music publishing business as it 's conducted to-day. Hut for future generations in America, the phrase "the songs that mother used to sing" will not have the meaning that It now has, -for the system Is different. There was a time when songs spread like infection through the army and the villages scattered throughout the land. They were taught and learned without the printed page. That la not true of the present system. The Increase In circulation and the possibilities of circulation of popular music to-day is largely pro- portionate with the Increased number of pianos in the homes. The piano manufacturer and the publisher of popular music have worked hand in hand without even the semblance of co-operation. It Is true that the progressives in the piano manufacturing business have appre- ciated this most potent factor In the demand for pianos, but the greater majority of them have failed to do so. Still, we are satisfied that the publication or popular music has created the Increased demand for the Cheaper grade of pianos. On the other hand, the rule works inversely, and the growing demand for pianos has fostered and nourished . the In- terests of the popular music publisher. There was a time, and It was not long ago. that the music publishers were almost overwhelmed with their own success. Song writers invested their royalties In plants for the publication of their own compositions and those of other writers who had not yet become their own publishers. The earnings were so great and the system so primitive that many of them were swamped In the high seas (no pun is Intended) of their own prosperity. These flascoes have been so recent that to specify time when the singers and instrumentalists work material harm to the Industry as a whole. We have also passed the time when the song writer was deceived by the mirage of prosper- ity as a publisher. Factors have found their proper places; condi- tions Justed I What could be written i sic In general and song writers In particular could be strung out In- definitely, and would occupy miles and miles of writing space; but what's the use? The publishers are too busy to read all of It, the writers would only be really Interested tn the parts devoted to their personal compositions, and the public would rather listen to the song Itself than to a word description, an essay con- cerning Us class, or an analytical discussion of Its origin. The music publisher operates a peculiar insti- tution. If you don't believe It, ask one 'of 'em yourself. Thelr*a Is a commercial, but with surface show- ings that indicate "art" tn Its softest sense. Plagiarists infest this field. They revel and delight In Its pilfer- ing opportunities. We do not believe that there is nothing new under the sun. Can- didly, we are of the opinion that Just as the rolling stone often ac- quires a beautiful polish, so a song running the gamut of claimants may improve In transit, and by evolution be decidedly benefitted. At present there are more than a few "im- provers" who choose material and rehash and tone with good results. These song doctors are artists in their line; so much so, la fact, that they seldom lose a case. They are Ingenious If n< certainly are they willing, ever. It may not advisedly be said that the conscientious writers of original music are In the minority. The current epoch in the history of music la as replete with authors and composers as any period of time in the annals of the business. If their contributions are not as enduring or their style as edifying and noticeable as tn other years, blame It on the ultimate consumer, the public, whose demands govern and are responsible for the quantity and quality of th«. production. The publisher caters to this public. With the advent of the ten cent theatre came the revolution that gradually educated the patron to vaucwllle, thr patron in time grew more exacting. They wanted more acts and better acts, which widened the field and at the same time Increased the managers' weekly salary list, until he was forced to either raise his prices or build larger places — generally both — to accommodate the patrons. Thus, the "store show" gradually gave way to the vaudeville theatre, until now there is scarcely a town worth mentioning that can not boast of at least one vaudeville house — some towns, two or three — where they are offering acts and paying salaries that would have been thought impossible a few years ago. All of this has. of course, necessitated the booking of thousands of acts, a large percentage of which use either instrumental music or songs. THE BILLBOARD XMAS NUMBER, 1910 ooooooooooooooooo Uons URLESQUE is to-day regulated by the highest de- gree of system that characterizes the operation of any form of the theatrical business. The exact route of every show is laid out in immutable form for the entire season before the attraction opens its first engagement. The manager of every bur- lesque house knows lust exactly what attraction he is going to have for every week and every day throughout the season. As the burlesque system is the most highly perfected, so is the burlesque patronage the most nearly stable. These quallflca- to make burlesque a most attractive form of amusement point of view. There is no speculation connected with the casting of one's fortunes with the burlesque attraction. There is no contingency, however remote, of two weeks rehearsals without pay, two weeks more of hard work • on the road, and then a sudden closing. A burlesque contract is as good as a United States bond, so long as its provisions are carried out by the actor. It was not always so. Burlesque has matured and developed into a legitimate form of amusement very rapidly. Only a few years ago, all burlesque companies were what the burlesquers now call "turkey"' shows. That is, attractions - that filled promiscuous engagements, as the "wild cat" company does in the legitimate. Burlesque was then in very bad repute. It based its claim for any popularity that it enjoyed clandestinely on Its salacious and suggestive features. The burlesque ■ show drew people to the theatre who were ashamed to have their friends know that they Were. there, or who went openly in face of the stigma attaching to such habits. The burlesque attraction ..was a contraband attraction. A man never mentioned his intention to go or his having been there to his family. He "usually evaded this' by the pretext of a business or club engagement, in anticipation or in explanation of his absence from home. All kinds of alibis were de- vised. This condition has changed. .A man may take his wife to a bur- lesque performance now, with the same degree of assurance that her sense of modesty will not be vio- lated, that would attend his taking her to a theatre where the musical comedy brand of attraction is being presented. It is a far cry from such discredit to such approval, but bur- lesque has accomplished it thor- oughly, steadily and without chance of reversion in the past few years. It Is interesting to note, the pride with which the reformers of bur- lesque speak of their work. They have gone about It seriously, know- ing the obstacles that confronted them, but with a definite, tangible task to perform, and with a thorough grasp of the methods and means ' necessary to its performance. Practically everything that was venal has been removed from the burlesque show. that was popular In the days of its undignified vogue. The Egyptian dancer, upon the advertisements of whom managers based their chief claims for patronage, has been almost entirely eliminated. Suggestive lines with double meanings that once constituted all burlesque dialogue, and upon the conception of which writers of all burlesque sketches expended the greater part of their energy and ingenuity, have also been relegated to the limbo of unnecessary and undesirable things. The burlesque performance of today moves with a snap and ginger that is highly commendable, and that has never been imitated, either upon the legitimate comedy or the musical comedy stage. Scenic and sartorial accessories have been ameliorated In the same proportion. Those who are Indifferent to what burlesque used to he or who have forgotten . Its quondam umsavoryness. may best draw their comparison between the burlesque stage of a decade ago and of the present time, by taking the contemporary performance at the Moulin Bouge in Paris as a representative of the former, and any of the seventy attractions that make up the shows of both "Wheels," Empire and Columbia Cir- cuits, as representative of the latter. In The Moulin Rouge brand" of performance, we find the story dealing with such incidents as are seldom found outside the red light district of a big city. The plots are meretric- ious, the dialogues are salacious, and the performance is generally de- basing. The American burlesque show, on the other hand, is put to- gether to amuse rather than to pander to immoral thoughts , and pro- clivities. The burlesque show, as we know It in this country to-day. is about as good a recipe for melancholy and ennui as can be formulated. The comedy quality is of a generally high standard. The plot is obvious enough not to weary, and at the same time slight enough to allow the liberties necessary for the rapid carrying forward of the show as a vehicle for the cleverness of the various performers who participate in It- The choruses are chosen for voice quality as well as for physi- cal pulcritude in Its individual numbers and in ensemble. The comedians are selected because they are superior In the delineation and presentation of certain lines of grotesque and genteel comedy work. The principal women are Invariably good singers and at least This perfection of harmony of grouping is due to the able efforts and perspicacious fore- sight of the men who stand at the head of the burlesque combination as producing managers. They are without exception, men of .wide ex- perience In their work. They are generally men of moral stamina and high character. . They have taken burlesque out of the cate- gory of forbidden things, placing It among other forms of approved en- tertainment. Burlesque, perhaps, has not reached Its highest standard even yet, but It has gone far. The men who are promoting it promise a still further regeneration. We have confidence in the successful achievement of their alms, because of the success they have already compassed In their past perform- ances. With the energy end Intelligence that is now being directed towards its regeneration there "is no reason to believe but that.it will continue to progress as systematically and as surely In the future as It has In the past. It Is the amusement of the busy man In a strange city, and what city has not a consider- able floating or transient popula- tion of liberal spirits who enjoy nothing In the way of theatrical amusement more than catchy mu- sic, choruses and ensembles plead- ing to the eye and rapid-moving, obvious comedy of the innocuous sort while they enjoy their cigars nnd forget that they are deprived temporarily of home and Its com- panionship. It is this class that makes up the preponderating por- tion of burlesque patronage to-day, and through Its enlistment bur- lesque has found It possible to abandon Its one-time appeal to the out- cast spirit* whose Philistinism has no stronger alibi than a kind of dar- ing swagger, and devote itself to the legitimate entertainment of he business-fatigued mind of a higher grade of intelligence. Burlesque may never be the accepted family amusement, but It has already undergone a degree of regeneration that augurs well fof 'It* future. The chief Interest of all who are engaged In tho promotion of any kind of amusement as a business or as a profession Is Its Immediate TP . ^ ? u,mBto BUCc es». The principal concern then of all who aro Identified with burlesque as a business or as a profession Is its perpetu- ation on tho highest scale of success consistent with healthy growth and natural development. He who Is in for a day or for the present and obvious opportunity Is not to be considered. In a measure the public Is to be left out of the consideration also, or to be considered only second- arily; but we need have no fear for the public which, with Anthony Comstock's assistance will take care of Its own Interests. All hall to the burlesque of the future. ^ooooooooooooooo THE BILLBOARD XMAS NUMBER, 1910 oooooooooooooooo^ ELODRAMA has left the cheap theatre, and taking on the necessary refinement, has gone into the higher priced houses. The situation has been made thus complex through the advent of the motion picture melodrama. By thU agent it was forced oat of the cheap house, but all other things being equal, it is more than probable that melodrama in Its more refined form would nave become popu- lar in the higher priced houses, and with more cultured audiences under any circumstances. Mel- with vital aspects of life. Sentimentality may be over-concentrated in them, but over-concentration is always a sort of compromise between the artistic and the real. Coincidence must neces- sarily be exaggerated in drama of any kind. Incidents and happenings must be made to follow consecutively In order to sustain the inter- est. The writer of melodrama must conceive of the possible happening of mental crises In each of the members of the small group, that In real life would extend possibly Into the experiences Of only in a thousand people, an period of many years: But every serious drama must partake some- what of the nature of the melo If it would be vital. 80 the writer who is dealing with the Joys and sorrows, the haps and mishaps of life, must play to a certain extent upon the lmpresalonableneas of his audience. Melodrama, next to tragedy, is the oldest form of playwriting, and the line of demarkatlon between melodrama and tragedy must nec- essarily be very closely drawn. Re- move a few of the features of the old Greek classics, and yon "have melodrama; divest Shakespeare of his philosophical dialogues and solil- oquies, and In all his heavier plays you will find melodrama as tbe basic quality. Going a little fur- ther we. may even assume that melodrama Is the pattern Into which the warp and woof of all living drama Is woven. Dramatists have never got away entirely the old Idea that love betwee sexes is a scourge. It is through the Intensity of a love theme that the Incidental features of any play are carried on with the essential dramatic Interest. Impressionableness is a part of human nature. It may be covered up and glossed over by education and refining environment, but It la never completely eradicated. In- versely then the smaller the oppor- tunity for education and culture, the greater the degree of sentlmen- tallsm and the more leeway given to Impressionableness. The writer of melodrama for the masses builds upon this foundation. He writes in the simple language of the grown-up child about mat- ters and things that are of Interest to the person who has matured physically while remaining mentally undeveloped. Many the washerwoman whose tears drop into the steam- ing suds as she mentally rehearses the experiences of the distressed heroine of the previous night's performance. But the day of Lincoln J. Carter and Theodore Kremer la over. Their methods were different, but each made his peculiar appeal to the pro- letariat. Carter was the David Belasco of cheap melodrama; perhaps he may even more correctly be compared with Clyde Fitch. Every one of hie successes depended chiefly upon the successful working out of some ingenious, though crude, device of stagecraft. Lincoln Carter was a genius in his. line. Blood and thunder may have constituted his chief claim to glory among those who are not mentally above attributing glory to such causes, but he handled his blood and thunder with an understanding of his audience that is deserving of commendation. Theo- dore Kremer was not a genius. His plays. If plays they can be called, were lacking In originality, but what they lacked In originality, they made up In intensity of crude, unshackled emotion. Both these men are due more credit than they have ever been given, for surely It to not a below distinction to contribute amusement (even though It be expressed in the shedding of many tears) to those poor souls whose corporeal handicap entitles them to the deepest sympathy. But as the uncultured mind thinks In pictures, the advent of the mo- tion picture melodrama spoiled the business of Kremer, of Carter, and of their colleagues and contemporaries. The audiences that formerly sat In the melodrama house eating peanuts and weeping briny tears, giving way to uncouth cachlnatory expression of amusement and delight, now buy the same sensations for five cents a reel, and sit in the front rows of the motion picture theatre. That is why some manufacturers of motion pictures And it profitable to produce melodramas for projection on the tomlme or acted by living actors on the stage at every performance among the Brahmin caste of our own United States. Among cultured folk In America, the melodrama was held in abey- ance by the popularity of the war play, the Western drama, and the drama of society. American aud- iences do not differ from those of other countries in desiring to see the whims and foibles of society put before the footlights. But. perhaps, after all. It is not the ex- position of these whims and folbka that Interests them so much as the belief that they are learning how real society acts and ought to act. That Is why the society play has held the public's fancy so long In this country where necessarily, society Is still in the process of formation. But of recent years the close observer has detected a ten- dency toward the preference for melodrama qualities In the plays presented in our first-class thea- tres. One might cite numerous examples in support of this conten- tion, not the least convincing of which would be Clyde Fitch's last play. The City, over which New Tork literally went wild, and was followed by tbe rest of the coun- try in its enthusiastic approval of tensity. We may then expect a vogue for melodrama In our first-class thea- tres that will extend over a more or less lengthy period of time. We do not believe that this vogue will mark a retrogression of taste. For several years the drama has been becoming more and more anaemic. The public cannot lose by the In- jection of more real feeling into its drama, for by this Injection the of cynicism will be Within the past few weeks a company has been Incorporated for the express purpose of pro- ducing melodrama over a circuit of theatres that will be operated along the same lines as those con- stituting the two burlesque "wheels." This does not look like a symptom of pessimism among are Interested In the to the extent of putting their money Into It for its promo- tion and perpetuation, but Indicates true optimism for it. There Is little doubt that Messrs. Stair and Havlin will combat this enterprise by booking melodramas of a higher grade of merit again into their houses that have, during: the past two years, been given over to musical comedy and to motion pictures. Who will write these melodramas. Is a question of more interest than of Immediate Importance, but what to probably of more cance Is the quality and nature of the melodramas themselves. T is' little doubt that the return to melodrama will be a reversion to a the la, confessedly, on a higher plane gen- erally than It to In America the melodrama has never ceased to be pop- ular. The writer recalls having sat In Drury Lane Theatre from a quarter past seven in the evening till "alt paust" twelve while a long drawn out melodrama of the most sensational (though clean) kind was being* enthusiastically applauded by a characteristically elite aud- ience such as can always be seen at Old Drury. . will get to in America. THE BILLBOARD XMAS NUMBER, 1910 AUL. D. HOWSE, of Chicago, has long been consid- ered an authority on all that pertains to the amuse- ment park. His experience and success have Justi- fied this confidence. Asked what, in his opinion is to be the future of the amusement park in America, be replied: "What is the future of the amusement park?" This is a question propounded to me ten times a week. It Is put by park owners, concessionaires and those whose only interest in the subject is based on delightful hours spent in these ; That the park business has fallen oft during the last two years cannot be disputed so that the question is one in very general circulation. My reply generally 1b about like this: "The park business has passed through the bonanza stage which follows the establishment of any new enterprise which catches popu- lar fancy. Its patronage has tied down' now to a regular normal basis. Many parks were built at too much expense and too many were built in many cities. Aa soon as the surplus is wiped out and park managers learn by exper- ience the class of attractions which are lasting, the business will be a vaudeville and moving picture thea- tres all over the country has had much to do with the decrease In the park patronage. Again so much money was Invested in park attrac- tions, particularly buildings, that their owners have hesitated to de- stroy any of them and substitute of Again a number of parks have been designed and built by archi- tects who have had no knowledge of the park business and the de- mands of park patrons. These parks have been overloaded with build- ings when rides should have been built. Even today this same mis- take is being made. Within the past two weeks I have received from ct Southwestern city, plans of a park laid out by local architects which I am certain will be an ab- solute failure. The plans call for ten or twelve buildings and one small ride. Buildings costing sev- eral thousands of dollars are plan- ned for penny arcades and the like. This park owner will never see his money back and within his first season he is certain to have half of his buildings vacant and bringing no revenue. Not only will he suf- fer from loss of revenue but the empty buildings will give his resort a deserted appearance which is cer- tain to be Injurious. -. Not over two or three show build- ings can bring any return to a park owner. Outside of e good sized vaude- ville building one other show building would be the wisest investment. His money should be Invested In rides, a ball room and such other at- tractions as the public wants and from which a good revenue is certain. The park of 1911 sho did be designed with an eye to the future. All spaces should not be filled in merely to form a solid wall of one attrac- tion after another. In 1912, when a new feature comes out, the park should have a space for It without destroying the investment of 1911. Rides should be built so that after a couple of years they can be' rebuilt and the form of them changed at a nominal cost. Every Improvement should be made with an eye to the future. Recently I visited a Southern city at the invitation of some Intending Investors in an amusement park. I spent two days looking over the sit- uation. I found In a small city one park in existence which was rather modern and doing a profitable business. I advised my friends not to bund another park but to buy the present plant and put their money in alterations. Instead of investing $100,000 as was contemplated they will be able to acquire a park for less than half this sum. If they built a new place, the business would be so divide i that neither would do well. In one park 1 have under construction. I placed a figure 8. Sev- eral persons remarked to me that they doubted my Judgment In put- ting in a ride of this character. They thought a giant coaster would be best. I explained to them that the park was new to this locality and that after the figure 8 had operated a year or two I could rebuild it Into a modern coaster at nominal cost and bring It up-to-date. With this explanation they agreed with me that the Idea of the future of the park had not entered Into their calculations. My energies have been directed towards cheapening the cost of- parks and their attractions, particularly riding devices on the coaster order. I recently submitted to a traction company for a city of about 25.000 population, plans for a park to cost $25,000. Including a theatre, band shell grill room, one show building, several booths and two riding devices. These plans cut In two the Investment contemplated for such a plant. Another set of plans for a park In a city of 150.000 called for a total Investment of $50,000 and this plant I have now under way. In both of these parks there will be ample spaces left for the meritorious attractions which de- velop during the next few years without destroying any of the in- In future park building we- must depend on the experience of the past and profit by the knowledge gleaned of the public's taste for open air amusement The park must be designed for operation at a nominal figure and with ample earning capacity.

I recently mod- ernized the entire plant and cut its operating cost from $350 per day to $225, yet at the same time I Increased Its earning capacity. This park operated at a loss In 1909 and showed a handsome profit In 1910. after the changes had been The entire coat of the was charged against this on's operating expense. So In the long run. the future of the park business, in my opinion, depends upon the judgment used by the park owners and managers. It Is not discouraging, but promts- '"fie ow to draw the crowds! That's the perplexing problem which con- fronts owners and managers cast- ing their destinies with the amuse- ment business In any of Its phases. For generations the park pur- veyor has taxed all his resources of inventiveness in an effort to de- vise something new which would be effective In luring the always curi- ous public to the box office or ticket window. He has spent many a sleepless night arguing the pros and cons of his newest Ideas along this line. Owners and managers of parks and their employees have called into play a great variety of devices for amusing the fickle pub- lic, and to beguile the possessors of the "eagle" into their confidence, and eventually Influence a change of ownership In the Uncle Sam piece. Who Is It that doesn't remember the wild, insane fervor with which people spent their money at the World's Fair in Chicago? There was but one meaning to this: the novelty was so new and the unique methods of showing so strange and pleasing that it captivated all lovers of diversion In amusement. There were new features never before Introduced to the public. There were also some old attractions, but they were served up In such a delicious style that they seemed new. Everything, with but a few exceptions, went with a snap and bang. So variety and change to meet the progress of the times are the secrets of success In operating the amusement park. The manager of any park makes a mistake when he retains any de- vice or concession after It has lost Its novelty and attractiveness to the public. The manufacturers of several of the devices most popular for a few seasons have gone Into bankruptcy trying to promote their sales, and so keep their factories running after the novelty and attract- iveness had worn off. The public demands novelty. — 14 «<>o<><><^<><>^^>^ THE BILLBOARD XMAS NUMBER, 1910 ooooooooooooooooo picture as a form of i to stay. Ita very progress determines that, than half a decade ago. the olograph, the Edison and other companies which are now allied under the banner of The Motion Picture Patents Com- pany, were making- nothing; but outdoor picture,. None of them operate l a stock company, and the number of exhibitors outside of the regular vaude- ville theatres which put the pictures on merely as an incidental feature, was very small. To-day the manufacture, sale, rental and exhibition of motion picture films, Is an Industry representing; the output of many millions of dollars. The mo- tto.) picture has grown In merit as it has increased in popularity. The principal manufacturers of America devote themselves almost exclusively to the produc.lsn of entertaining; pictures, and do not. like Paihe- Freres, of Prance, principally, and several European companies, make a large number of educational films. The educational Alms there- fore are mostly imports and these Importations and distributions are handled chiefly by Mr. George Klelne. who Is one of the most Im- portant figures in the American motion picture business. The manufacturing end of the industry 1» represented now by some twenty-live or thirty compa- nies, each of which releases from two to three reels of Rim per week. More than half of these manufac- turers are members of the Motion Picture Patents Company, a com- bination or all the original manu- facturers of Alms in America, and claiming to control the patents on motion picture cameras and pro- jecting machines to such an extent that any other camera manufac- tured or used In America Is char- acterised by them an infringement. The other faction of manufacturers who call themselves the Indepen- dents are producing Alms with Eu- ropean made cameras and project- ing them with various brands of machines. Those exchanges or middlemen who buy their product from the manufacturers represent- ed In the Motion Picture Patents Company, rent them to exhibitors who are under contract to use only the Alms manufactured by the Pat- ents Company and to project them through the Patents Company's machines which they do not buy outright, but upon which they pay a license or. royalty or $3.00 per week. The Patents Company Is a On the other hand the Indepen- dents so-called, sell their film to exchange men. who In turn rent to exhibitors at a scale that Is made to compete with the Patents Com- pany's scale, and who project the pictures through any manufacture of projecting; machine that they may prefer to use. So there Is strong competition in the Held. Licensed theatrej and ludependent theatres are situated side by side in all the cities through- out the country, and while the fight for supremacy between the two factions Is very bitter, the public cares very little about the struggle of the manufacturers, and seeks only to be entertained by the best pictures available. The American Biograph Company has long represented the acme In quality of films. Their productions have been made at the greatest expense, both with regard to the selection of the company engaged to act out the pantomime plays and the technical handling of dims. Pathe- Preres have also represented quality In another line, and until recently, their European pictures were In very grest demand, but since they have Instituted an American plant for the entire making of the pictures, the demand for the domestic produotlon has largely superseded that of the Importation. The Vitagraph Company's pictures, The Edison Company's production, and that of Seilg, Kalem, Essanay, Lubin and other Eu- ropean pictures, which are Imported by Mr. George Klelne. are each characterised by their own Individuality, and each occupies Its own position In the preference of the public. To Mr. Carl Laemmle. who started In the business as a dealer in licensed films, but who afterwards "went independent." Is largely due the strenuousness and success with which the efforts of the Independents tc establish system, have been carried on. There are other men of brains and ability in the Independent field also, and who manufacture pro- ductions that have their demand on the part of the public through the medium of the exchange. The degree of progress that has been made In the manufacture and distribution of motion pictures during the past three or four years Is almost Incredible. Whereas there were only a few hundred theatres (which were theatres In name only, for the most part being store-room I transformed into places of exhibition for the motion picture) three years ago. there are now thousands of theatres operated exclusively for the exhibition of motion pictures. Some of them have been built at tremendous expense and are elaborately, even sumptuously equipped. , Competition among the exhibit- ors has brought the - motion pic- ture "performance" up to a very high standard of quality. In larger cities, in the down-town districts, three reels of film are usually shown, with an Illustrated song, and In some Instances, a vaudeville act or two of more or less merit, to break the monotony. These ex- hibition theatres are provided with comfortable seats and an orchestra consisting of from one to three pieces (Including the drummer who works the "effects") and are made to conform entirely with the fire and sanitary ordinances. The only obstacle in the way of the continued progress of motion picture popularity seems to lie with the manufacturers. Recent pro- ductions have been characterized by a lack of originality of subject and by a sort of sameness in the working out of plots and a tenden- cy to revert to old subjects that proved popular. Perhaps the man- ufacturers are not anxious to con- tinue too strong a struggle of com- petition, realizing that this would increase the cost of production. It seems manifest to the close ob- server of the situation that there Is a tacit agreement among them to leave further Increase of popu- larity and prestige making to the exchanges and the exhibitors. Per- haps they are right, but it would seem that this is not quite fair to the exchanges and exhibitors. It may be. though, that the per cent, of profit Is being more Justly equal- ized now that the exhibitor has to provide more. comforts for his pa- rent hla films at a lower scale of prices. For a long time the man- ufacturers bore the brunt of the battle of progress and. maybe, they are entitled now to lie back for a time and reap the profits from their pioneer effort. However this may be. it seems probable that there will soon be renewal of the old competition among manufacturers. They will have to buy a better grade of scenarios, and they will have to employ better actors to produce them. The manufacturers that have been devoting themselves entirely to Western pictures (horse-back riding, representing posses, hunting, road agents, etc.), will have to And stronger themes upon which to base their stories, if they hope to keep up with the progress of events In the motion picture field. Altogether, the prospect 1 most encouraging. There Is no occasion for anything but optimism in the outlook. American manufacturers of Aim are gradually finding a larger field for their product In Europe. The Edison Company, for Instance, re- cently disposed of twenty-three copies of one reel of Aim in London alone, and while this is probably the top-noteh reached by American manufacturers, it Is estimated that each one of the Aim producers most popular in America will dispose of an average of one hundred copies to each Aim produced In the European market The sale of Aim in America will be equalized by the dropping out of theatres in districts that are over-crowded with them, and the opening of others In locations that are at present without them. — 15 ■ ■ ■ ■ THE BILLBOARD XMAS NUMBER, 1910 season just among the most successful ones on record. First, there were more big circuses en tour throughout?^ he season than there have ever been before In American. Ringling Brothers had three big circuses out this season: the one that bears their own name, the Barnum & Bailey, and the Forepaugh-Sells Show, the last-named hav- ing been sent out for the first time since it was bought In by James A. Bailey at the Columbus. Ohio, sale, to 1905. The Hagenbeck-Wallace' Show and the John Robinson Ten Big Shows took the road to. their usual magnitude 'and magnificence. The wild west contingent .-was strongly and adequately represented by the Buffalo Bill-Pawnee Bill Wild West and Great Par East, "and the Miller Bros, and Arlington's 101-Ranch Wlia West. " Numerous} shows of smaller size- were 'represented In the' circus horoscope, ijan R. Rob- inson metamorphosed fels carnival aggregation Into a circus, calling It The Robinson Famous Shows.' J. Augustus Jones sent out a wild west to addition; to his" other shows. The Sells- Kioto Circus played at re- duced prices of admission through- out the Western territory. n was' a season of strong oppo- sition- 'throughout. The first sensa- tional encounter occurred at Co- lumbus. Ohio, were the Hagenbeck- Wallace Circus and Miller Brothers' Wild West competed for patronage on the same lot. A great deal of opposition billing was done; all summer, however, good crops and flourishing Industries contributed \o excellent receipts for ail partici- pants and practically every show that started clean puUed Into win- terquartera with a good big balance on the right side of Its ledger. ' • Only a few Incidents of an un- toward nature, and these of only minor significance, occurred during the season. The most disastrous ac- cident, but one in which no person was injured, was the burning of the Barnum and Bailey tent at Schenectady, N. T. t on May 21. There was no serious railroad acci- dents or disastrous blow-downs. The entire season passed off with- out a single serious catastrophe. The only premature closing was .that of the Norrls & Rowe Show which was taken over by the cred- itors at Newport. Kentucky, on May 9, and transferred to the Hagenbeck-Wallace wlnterquarters at Peru, Indiana, where the show was sold at auction to satisfy the claims against It. A peculiar inci- dent of the sale -was' the purchase of a larger part of the dtatflt by one of its former proprietors, Walter annon, who" was backed up by E. Brotherton; of Ashtabula,' 6. At the end of the time allotted by the court for the purchase money to be paid over, Mr. Shannon ac- . _ .. . . knowledged his Inability to raise the necessary funds, thereby forfeiting the $3,000 guarantee which he had put up as a deposit ' At the ; second sale, Mr. Shannon again ' appeared as a bidder, and was 'announced as the purchaser of the outfit for the • sum' of J 1 5.000' plus the $3,000 guarantee which he had deposited. But the court ruled against this sale and Messrs. Shannon and Brotherton were in a good way to lose a large part of the Jl 8,000. But the subse- quent and final sale- of -the property brought a sufficient sum to pay off the debts Incurred to quartering the show during the time it had been held in abeyance to the action of the purchaser and the decisions of ■ the court, and to satisfy the chief creditors. As the case stands, Messrs. Shannon and Brotherton are reputed to have lost in the neighborhood of $6.'00"0 pn the transaction. ; Another notable incident of the season was the testing out of the Texas license by. the Ringling Brothers. The state revenue agent pro- tested "" against ' the ' continuous performance device which the Messrs. Ringling Instituted while the Forepaugh-Sells Show was to Texas, as a Justifiable means of evading the enormous and exorbitant license fee levied by the Lone Star State, and the case" was tried. No final decision - has been heard on ltblsT matter,' but Inasmuch as the Federal court '■■ : " ■' ..!•'..•• >-:v;.:'o ; '• .- ■ . - ■: ■■ ••• • ■ J 4 _ the state revenue agent from Inter- fering through arrests and other persecution with the continuous per- formance arrangement, there Is little doubt that the Ringling Brothers will win out In the final hearing. This will mean a victory for all cir- cuses which will naturally adopt the same means of evading the exorbi- tant license in Texas If the state does not revise Its laws affecting them. It is estimated that for 'the Forepaugh-Sells Show alone the Rlngllng Bros, saved more than $14,000 by the continuous performance device. Mr. H H. Tammen. proprietor of the Sells-Floto Shows, endeavored, during the early part of the season, to induce the city councils In terri- tory booked by his competitors - to pass ordinances by which shows would be taxed on a graduated scale In ratio to the number of cars carried. Mr. Tammen's efforts were generally recognized as a subterfuge for the purpose of making licenses prohibitive to the towns Included In the itinerary of his competitors and which they would bo compelled to exhibit in because their railroad contracts had already been made so the scheme proved as futile as it was inexcusable, and Mr. Tammen's unprofessional methods "were final- ly given the rebuke they deserved. Altogether the season was grati- fying to proprietary showmen as well as to the performing contin- gent, among which there were un- usually few accidents and scarcely any suits for unpaid salaries, ex- cept In the Instance of the N orris & Rowe Show which closed in the middle of the season. In this connection it may be ob- served that recent years" have wit- nessed a gradual decline In the number of forced and premature closings and to the number of suits for unpaid salaries growing out of that as well as all other causes. This condition is due to the prog- ress to systemati ration of shows and to the rise In affluence that makes it possible for most show- men to start out now each season with sufficient capital to meet all of weather and p«r- adventure that The most notably cl feature of the circus business la that the men now at Its head have for the most part risen through all the gradations of change and de- velopment In this same business. With the single exception of H. H. Tammen, proprietor of the Sells- Floto show, all those successful spirits who^ are concerned with the way have had their education In this business and to no other — have served their apprenticeship and their term of skilled workman- ship In the circus shop, and were not recruited from any other busi- ness. This fact would seem to In- dicate that the circus business is so unique In its nature that, how- ever attractive it may be from the standpoint of dividends, no cler whose education has been gained in the counting-house is doughty enough to chance his Investments to an enterprise that can be Intelli- gently directed only by those who have had years of experience under the white tops and who have learned to view with complacency the loss \ tSS^^SSr*'""-- 9 *-''* the weather and of the circus- promoters, and through the prosecution of those principles of pro- gresslon and reform that, underlay even Its humble station It has taken ffsw.% f^ Ity '° r « o« buslnes. that has « virtue pecu- liar to it through Its mission to amuse and entertain ■4 *J£ e m . e K a » geH v f .t aturo °. r »'* circus attaches to It an educational i £ a \ U .™ 1 at * whether «*> or imagined, to responsible in large degree '.for ts success. .

From the small acorn springs the mighty oak and , from the earlier .exhibitions of our forefathers — necessarily limited In their scope and Influence— have developed the mod- ern county fair and the stupendous state exposition, each now universally recognized aa a factor of the our arts and industries. In the d be learned may be properly sen ted it Is necessary that each de- partment be systematically organ- ised, both as to management and arrangement of exhibits and dis- plays. We win not attempt to here treat this subject from the exhibit viewpoint, but will a few hints regarding department management. In ence to the duties and responsibili- ties of the superintendent. Tears ago there was bat one official of a fair — the secretary; but the day has long since passed when the success or failure of an exhibition Is dependent upon the efforts of one man. and to-day at each suc- il fair will you find a loyal of energetic progressive men composing the board of managers, each charged with important de- partmental duties. They act in uni- son with the secretary, and the fruits of their united effort are that now at- They have thus been lifted from the plane of a frolic to Institutions of real worth and merit. Each department of a fair should be Independently organised, with proper officials In charge, and rules neither too stringent nor too lax should be established for Its gov eminent. The enforcement of these roles should be placed In the hands of the head of each particular de- partment, he to reign supreme in all questions or disputes that may arise, except those of such moment as In his Judgment require action of the fall board of managers. By so Investing the superintendent with absolute control of his de- partment, you will eliminate many, if not all. of the minor complaints that now reach the ears of the busy secretary. Trivial complaints, such aa the Issuance of the proper num- ber of passes, disagreements regard- ing space, etc.. should never en- croach upon the secretary's time, un- less brought to his attention by the superintendent. Errors In entries prop- erly belong to the secretary, and by him will be promptly adjusted, but . aside from these there should be naught from the various departments to vex and worry him. His time and attention are fully occupied in the executive department of the exhibition, and his troubles are many, with- out added burdens. In selecting your superintendent, do so with a view as to- his special ' adaptability for the department assigned: Impress upon him strongly the .responsibilities of his position: Insure him that the full strength of the • of managers will sanction his every act when In accordance with vernlng rules; make him a superintendent In fact as well as In with full authority oyer his department, and many of the rough that now serve to clog the wheels of smoothness will disappear, are established to he observed, therefore rigidly enforce all those appear In your catalogue, and play no favorites. Each department should be equipped with a full corps of helpers, capabte of transacting all business pertaining to that department, and arranged as to be unnecessary tor any exhibitor to call upon the sec- ary, exoept to reoeWe his premium voucher or correct entrance errors. Abandon the committee idea and place your trust In one capable man for each department. It will please your exhibitors, as when they have a grievance or request they know where to find the proper official, and are 'not "Jack-eyed" from one man to another, as is now prevalent at This same rule should apply to concessions, and you should not expect your concessioner to always perhaps after being located by the man he presumed to be in another member of the committee sternly commands him to move, as that location has been reserved for the swing man. It Is the small details that perfect the mechanism: the large errors are so glaring that all may see. How often does It happen that Mr. Exhibitor or Concessioner, in quest of information, seeks the superintendent, and by that official is referred to the secretary for reply. This entails, in a majority of cases, a trudge and there he inquires of the clerk for the secretary, and Is politely in- formed that that official Is engaged at present. It then becomes neces- sary for him to await his turn, with perhaps a dozen or more gentlemen, until that officer is at leisure to hear his request or complaint. After the loss of much valuable time, he secures an audience with the secretary, only to be Informed that the matter In question will be adjusted after a conference with the superintendent or committee In charge. He departs, vexed and dis- appointed. How different would It be if Mr. Exhibitor, approaching the superintendent, Is Informed that the matter will attention a method there would be no waits nor loss of time, and would prevail in the department. It may be a little more high-sound- ing to Inform the exhibitor that his request will be referred to the com- mittee or secretary, but It Is much more business like for the super- intendent to immediately adjust all differences in his department. How many societies are there that have lost a valued exhibitor or a profitable concessioner by these red-tape methods, when, had the superin- tendent been empowered with proper authority, all would have been serene, The fallacy of the old adage. "Two heads are better than one." was never more forcibly presented than In the settlement of minor disputes and complaints be- tween fair societies and exhibitors or concessioners. Ohio stands pre-eminent as the leading fair state of the Union, and of its eighty-eight counties, no less than seventy-five are annually con- ducting agricultural and Industrial exhibitions. Their directorate is composed of the most progressive men of the state, and I dare say that here at a majority of these ex- hibitions, the superintendent is su- preme In his department, while per- sonally I know of many state and county exhibitions In the sister states that are still In the dark ages, or, I will not attempt to go farther In a discussion of this subject, but will leave these few thoughts regarding the duUes and responsibilities of the superintendent' for your consideration. The subject of Systematic Fair Management Is a broad one. and through the columns of The Bill- . board we could probably discuss it through the long winter months. By the interchange of Ideas much good would result, and we trust Its col- umns will he freely used by fair managers for that purpose. The lazy man who went out to the pasture field and sat down on a stool and waited for the cow to Isaiah: no to him and be milked. Is sitting there yet— with an empty bucket. That lazy chap wouldn't be worth a coss aa secretary of any fair in the world. It takes a Uve wire to be a successful fair manager. Any man who can swim up stream can arrive at this stage. It la very much like the poet said of the lightning bug: "The lightning bog- Is a brilliant thing But the Insect has no mind, So it goes, on .-stumbling through the With Its headlight on behind." 18 Time Billboard DECEMBER 10, 1910. - ■ ■ ■ Chicago's Outlying Theatres Situation Among Those Houses Which Are Far from the I to themln- nte Innovations in advertising.

Elisa- beth, married Jacob Scboles.' a circus rider, who lived long In New Jersey (tbe stste which pro- duces such good circus men). 'Dan, weary of the milk route, struck out for himself when voting, and made bis way to Pittsburg, where be was successively stsble boy, race' horse rider and back driver. After a 'little time, under the name of Dan Bice, he achieved prominence. If not exactly fame, as the owner and exhibitor ot a learned pig. with which be and a man named Lindsay traveled through Pennsylvania and neighboring states. Rice, and Lindsay sang songs and danced, bnt the pig was tbe principal attraction. Dan Rice, when saked about bla early expe- riences by the writer, said, "that although It waa many years ago. It waa 'still sad to relate that the sudden death or the star performer — the pig— broke up that show." and be drifted oat to Nauvoo. Illinois, where " were under Joseph Smith's l_ malned with them for a time. He returned to Pittsburg and went to driving a hark again. He married there his first wife, end went to New Xork City In 1841. maklne that connection was kept np unlil about 1800. when they separated. In 1853. In consequence of some legal pro- ceedings instituted by Spauldlng for recovery of payment for a show with which be bad fitted Rice ont a couple of years before. Rice lost s handsome farm wblcb be bad acquired In Colombia county. New York. Shortly after that Dan bought a homestead In Glrard, Pa., and a One farm two or three miles from that town, where he sheltered bis show In the winter. It was about this time tbst he made the acquaint- ance of Philip Dlefenbach. a stout Germsn Isd, who lived st Erie, Ps., wltb bis parents, and Dlefenbach, showing an adaptability to the circus business. Rice took blm under hi* wing and ever afterwards a friendship was continued with both men. Phil. Dlefenbach was In later yeara, practically the originator of tbe "tea cent clrcna," which at the present day has a strong bold upon tbe American poblle. b Baker Baker Baker Baker Baker Baker Baker Co By lf36 Rice hsd so far recovered from the disaster which followed the severance of his connection with Spauldlng that he was deemed a wealthy man. and certainly as s popular one wherever be traveled. For be waa a genial, e-hule-snuleri fellow, kind snd courteous, aeem- Ing to think nothing of riches more than aa a means to promote the bspplness of all around blm. Fortnne smiled upon blm steadily op to i860, when there waa a separation between blm snd his wife. Old showmen have told tbe writer that "Dan lost bla lack when be parted from her." She was spoken or aa a noble wo- man, wbo by gentle methods, supplied Dan wltb the guidance which be needed. She had never been a professional before ber marriage, bot be taught her a menage act, which she continued to do np to tbe time of their separation. Her daughter Elizabeth became tbe wife of Charles Reed, a celebrated pad rider. The daughter Catherine married and lived in O Irani. Pa., with ber mother, Boon after ber divorce Mrs. Rice married Charles Warren. Rice's treas- urer, who had acted aa agent between husband and wife la the negotiations preceding the divorce, and the couple rejoined the show, be proposing to continue to act aa treasurer, and she to continue her riding, bnt after a abort time both places were vacant. la the early part of 1800 Bice's Show Journeyed by wagons from tbe East to St. Louis __ lagement ot John Tryon. In the company with blm at that time were Barney Williams. Daniel Emtnett. Daniel Gard- ner. Prank" W. Whlttaker and others, whose names have since attained wide celebrity on the stage and. In the sawdust ring. During the season of 1846 he traveled with Seth B. Howes' Circus. Setb B. Howes was a brother of Nathan Howes, one of tbe old "flit- root combination." which . atarted the fsmons Zoological Institute at 3T Bowery. He billed and advertised Dan Rice more extensively thin any clqwn wa^gdYertlsed before In this conn "7- was to supply — Jal carriage and horses, with splendidly liveried coachman and footman, to tnat^nj™ through the country. In the winter or IfH; 6. Daniel made hla first appearance In Philadelphia In General Rnfua Welch's National Amphitheatre, which was thru at the corner ot Ninth and Chestnut streets, on the site now oc- cupied by tbe Continental Hotel. At tbst time he was simply - a good - "rough knock-about clown. In the phraaeologr^f the ring, not >«h niil.t.-.. ,k.

Yt Horace Xlekolls and so pacify of ring maater, and yet a bit with either. Finally he got Frank W. Whlttaker. who was at the time maater of the ring for other clowns in the same enow, assigned to him. and on his first nlgbt made a hit. on business sug- gested by Whlttaker. which carried him Into instant popularity with Philadelphia audiences. That hit cost Sandy Jamleson. leader of tbe or- chestra, a new violin, tor pert of the runny ^"^mo'oT'tue* iS-S?-^ h " nb " D ' P '»» k wife joined tbe show here as general slstant and wardrobe woman. It la also related that about that time Cbarlea Beed snd Jullsn Kent were apprenticed wltb Dan Bice, and be required them nniler all circumstances on Sunday to read to blm from one to three chapters of tbe Bible, an eccentricity akin to that which prompted blm to build meeting houses for tbe colored people down Sooth. He Is said to have built half a dozen meeting bouses. Prom 1880 to 1862 he wee In tbe South. The story got afloat . In tbe North that Dan bad bloomed out aa a rampant rebel, and w.hen he appeared In tbe Walnut Street Theatre. Phila- delphia, la the winter of 1802-8, be met with a very hostile reception. When tbe supposed rebel appeared In the ring there waa a crowded house to greet blm with s tornado of hisses, groans, yells or "Secession- ist." "Johnny Reb" and suggestions . tbst be should be shot or bsngesl. Fortonstely for blm he bsd the conrage to atsnd up In tbe ring an'' face bla sec users until they were weary or shnntlng. Then be told them that be waa and always had been a t'nloo man. that bla home and Interests were Northern, but that be could not get out of tbe Confederacy sooner or other- wise than he did, and. that be bad done nothing that' be deemed deserved any apology- His manliness, even more than b|s words, won tor blm new considers t Inn bnt I hough - there waa no longer any Idea of mobbing blm. enongh donbt was l-ft In many minds to cast a shadow over bla popularity. la 1863 bis show, after a dlaastroos season. went to pieces, snd most of It was sold for debt. Ont of tbe wreck be saved his famous blind trick stallion. "Excelsior." and hla pair of trained Burmese cattle. He was the first man wbo ever trained and Introduced In the circus ring a performing rhinoceros. in 1RA4 a contract for two seasons was msde with Adam Forepangh by which Rice received for bis services as clown and for tbe services of his trained horse and cattle 135.000 for each sea- son. In 1866 he received fl.OOp per week through as a clown wltff John O'vtrlen. and Daring the summer of 1848. Rice was a clown with Welch's traveling show In Canada, and In the succeeding year he went to New Or- leans wltb bis first manager. Doctor Spauldlng. At this time, It Is said. Mr. Van Ordrn. a brother-in-law or Doctor Spauldlng. took a liking to Dsn'BIce, and urged him to much-needed men- tal Improvement, supplying him with Shakes- peare, Byron and other dramatic and poetic works, aiding blm In making from them the selections on which he subsequently became known, as tbe "Shakespearean clown," and aa Rice bad through Nature's riror a voice of McCulIongh and the Cheaterfleldlan grace or a Booth or Barrett, be aoon electrified the clrcns- golng World.

Mr. Van ' - wrote a number of Rice's most pop- nlar a talned tor a season of twenty-six weeks In 18d7 be re- ceived $21. WW) from tbe then ' [lemmings and Cooper's cirrus. The shove salaries have never been duplicated In present dsy circus companies, aa money In those days appeared to be mors plentiful than wafer. Although It may seem odd to relate that Dan Rice's "star of destiny" from tbst time seemed to be steadily waning. Hla property at ftlrsrri was swept awsy by tbe foredoMvire " f a mnrt- gsge. He bsd married again. Ilia second wife, the daughter of a banker In Olrard. owned a considerable amount of property In her own right, bnt Rice WSS mined. Disappointment seemed lo rmblffer him, and his hsblts grew worse, but be kept In the ring as clown each season wltb the young elrewe men of the dsy snd could bold bis own at all times and make good.

LONDON NEWS LETTER Several New Plays Produced-^The London County Council and Music Halls— Thomas Beecham Abandoning His Grand Opera Experiment In writing A Single Man for Cyril Maude at the Playhouse.

Georgina refused be- cause the alternative meant art In Loudon lodg- ings and the cooking of ber own dinner on a smelly oil-stove! The frank discussion by Georgina and the " 1 lmusehold of Georgian's position and pros- of marriage is very amusing. Georgina tlf declares that a perfectly useless woman conld do nothing but marry and In that frame of mind, snd with not a trace of affection for him. she led the man on to a proposal and ac- cepted him. On the ere of the marriage how- ever, she became ashamed of herself threw blm over, told blm she was not going to spoil hlJ- Hfe. and to the horror of her relatives made a bolt to join ber stndent friend in London.

If, despite this warning. Hammers tein proceeds with the huge, theatre that he is to build In Kinxsway. he will only have .himself to thank should bis experiment turn out a complete failure. As I Indicated last week, the Loudon County Council, despite . the opposition raised, have granted licenses to Oswald 8 toll for the five or six : additional variety palaces which he Is about to build in London. But at the same time an unmistakable hint was given blm snd other promoters that tha Council thinks, that the time has. come, to call s bait. . At the present time, London undoubtedly has got about as many music hails ss it wants and to continue build- ing them unchecked would simply mean ' In the end that a great deal ot money would be thro w n away and the pi established no uses would i slderahle loss.

At the time of writing, theatre managers are thinking more about how they are going to light their theatres than what they produce In them. Inas- much as the flood-waters are returning, threat- ening to do aa much damage as they did last Jsnuary and February. Candles, oil lamps and what not were the rule in playhouses then. It will be remembered. - However, there is still room for hope. Rng- glcro Leoncavallo, composer of l'Pagllaeei, this week presented at the Apollo Theatre, where The Merry Widow ran for so long, hto newest work, Mai brook s'en va-t-en Guerre, (Mslbrouk Goes to War). The work has already been produced In Rome and Florence with consider- able success. inasmuch aa It Is more than probable than an American manager will bring the, piece out, I thought It likely that Bill board readers might care to hear what the composer himself had to say of it. "fiaJbrouk," he said, "la a comedy, or rather a farce, and I hare treated the music farcically In consequence. The theme of the opera U, of course, the old French folk-song, Malbrouk s'en va-t-en Guerre, known In the United Stales and In most English-speaking countries as" the air for. For H;'s a Jolly Good Fellow. I carry that all the way through the piece, though here and there I deflect It Into cartel tares of famous operatic passages.

Bogus ^Mediums are .making fortunes out of the public. Having been called upon hundreds of times to explain these so-called "Spirit " Phenomenas, I 'have procured at a considerable expense, a number of their best tricks, every one of which has proved sufficient to sup- port a Bogus Medium, (create converts to Spiritualism and astonish large audiences. Remember these are TRICKS, pure and simple. Ten minutes' practice will make you a.first-class (Bogus) "Spirit Medium." NO. 1— ^EADINBjSEALED MESSAGES. Tells you how to read and answer questions securely sealed in an envelope without opening or tampering with the seal. Done in the presence of the sitter in bread daylight. Extremely mystifying and capable of many variations to suit different conditions PRICE, 25 CENTS. ■a NO. 2— FIRE CANT BDRN YOU. How to obtain the prt> tection of "spirits" so that -you can literally and actually place your hand or hair, also handkerchief or necktie, etc., in the flames without TOjuryv Enables you to walk on red-hot iron barefooted, without in r "urv^ 3 Wo apparatus of; sleight of hand. You can actually handle ve coals and, hold theftf for several seconds. . . PR ICE, 25 CENTS. «H N&* 3— SPIRIT -SLATE WRITING. Most satisfactory of any me&tod, both tp medium .and sitter. Converts to Spiritualism have bee^made by '.this trick-alone. Sitter may use his own slate. Any menage 5wn-. Be produced. Possibilities for variety of effects un- lypitcd. . Known, to only a few of the cleverest and most successful professionals. - Tou will find the method is simple, but you will be aghast at the profound sensation which the trick produces^ when cleverly associated with a solemn ma nner. . . .PRICE, 25 CENTS ^0. 4— PRODUCING SPIRIT PICTURES. You can develop any picture upon a piece of muslin previously examined by the audience and seen to be free of preparation . Place a lamp behind the muslin so that -the audience can see that no one touches it. Then at your com- mand, the spirits, begin painting or writing, as you prefer, and.the pic- ture grows slowly and with ghostlike effect upon .the cloth in plain view. Can be done in three-colors if desired. A little music, playing or Ringing heightens the effect wonderfully,; and - the performance is extremely weird . . PRICE, 25 CENTS : NO. . 5— SPLENDID MIND READING.. Any. :message con- veyed. No apparatus or sleight of "hand. Mind reader blindfolded anS'lback turned to operator who stands in any part of the 'room Operator and mind reader both perfectly motionless and silent. Tre- mendous effect.

The Billboard POWER'S CAMERAGRAPH, No. 7] The Perfect Motion Picture Machine Your No. 6 is the real ma- chine of the day. C. C. Durkin, Majestic Theatre. Pottsville, Pa., Nov. 15, 1910. We tried four machines be- fore we purchased yours, and we find yours the best for ail purposes. J. D. COBLENTZ, Truxton Amusement Co. Washington, D. C, Nov. 14, 1910. Thought I would drop you a line to let you know that the Power's No. 6, which we pur- chased over eight months ago, is still in our opinion the best Sicture machine made, and we ave not renewed one part. We still have our $100.00 offer for anyone who can equal our pictures, and there isn't any- one that wants to try. Our pictures are rock steady, and absolutely flickerless. It is certainly a pleasure to run a machine like your No. 6, as it is so perfectly balanced that it can be turned without the least effort. This, added to the ben- efit of the large and roomy lamp house, with a lamp that has any adjustment desired, makes the No. 6, in my opin- ion the best machine ever made, and I've run about all the standard makes. Fred V. M. Smith, The Crystal Theatre. Ottawa, Kan., Nov. 10, 1910. I recently purchased from Pearce & Scheck, of this city, one of your No. 6 Projecting Machines. I wish to say that I think it is the very finest machine on the market, at least of any I have seen. The parts of this machine are so much heavier and stronger than those of other makes I have used, I feel sure it will give better and longer service, without any repairs. The new "in front of lens" shutter reduces the flicker to such a minimum that it hardly is possible to notice it on the screen, even in a small hall, close to the screen. Wishing you much success with this model, I remain, Very truly yours, Newton R. Henderson. Baltimore, Md., Oct. 25, 1910. I have just purchased from the Seattle Lighting Co., of this city, a Power's 6, and same splendid results, js giving both in pictures and attendance. W. G. Spurrier, Savoy Theatre. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 21, 1910. I used your Power's No. 6 about two months, and I think it is certainly an O. K. machine in every way. Carroll Hart, 522 Clifford Street. Syracuse, N. Y., Nov. 25, 1910. I am very glad to hear you are selling so many of the No. 6 machines. Ours is giving the best of satisfaction. I believe it is the best moving picture machine on the market. F.'C. Walter, Cozy-Nook Theatre. Scranton, Pa., Nov. 12, 1910. We have purchased a No. 6 Power's ma- chine. It is O. K. John O'Mailey, Pastime Theatre. Baltimore, Md., Oct. 12, 1910. In reply to yours of the 3rd inst., wish to state that we purchased, several weeks ago, through the J. D. Wheelan Film Co., of Dallas, Tex., one of your No. 6 machines. So far, it has proved entirely sat- isfactory in every respect. We have used your No. 5 machines for the last several years, and have two at present. J. C. Clemment, Imperial Theatre Co. Beaumont, Texas, Nov. 8, 1910. I have used your No. 6 ma- chine for the last six months, and the picture it shows is ab- solutely flickerless ; in general, it shows a picture as near per- fect as could be expected.' It is also a .nachine built to wear, and that is what every exhibi- tor, manager and operator is looking for. Bernard R. Sieve, Star Theatre. Boston, Mass., Oct. I, 1910. I think your No. 6 is the world's best, as it gives the steadiest, flickerless picture I ever saw, barring no other Ralph O. Sutton, Olympic Theatre. Okmulgee, Okla. I am well pleased with the No. 6 Camera- graph I purchased of you recently. C C. DUNSMORR. Marlinton, W. Va., Oct. 14, 1910. Will honestly say J prefer a Power's No. 6. I think I know, because I have given this Al. Tbezona, Bijou Theatre. Calumet, Mich., Oct 10, 1910. I have been operating your new model No. 6 for the last seven months, and can say that it gives the steadiest and most flickerless picture of any machine on the market to-day, and consider it the only machine made that will stand the hard, long grind of the 5 cent S HELTON MCCLAIN, Novelty Theatre.

Now and then the understudy of prominent actor or actress is given the opportunity that is watched for every night during the entire season's engagement This opportunity to play leads which comes only once in a while and is eagerly sought for by the understudy, in many cases decides his or her future'. Not so long ago, a prominent though jealous actor became so -incensed at newspaper encomiums, directed toward his leading lady, that he forthwith ordered her to leave the company. The public and press at that time were filled with righteous indignation at this action, and the understudy, who was given the position vacated by the erstwhile leading lady, was accorded more favorable mention per- haps than she deserved ; but she had her chance, and made the hest of it- Last week a New York theatrical magnate promoted a young lady, who had been heretofore playing an obscure part in a western company of a play which is now having a successful run* on Broadway, to the leading r. le. Her. chance had come, and now she is on the direct line to fame. Whether or hot theatrical managers realize the importance of having capable understudies, is a matter for reflection. In several cases during • the past season,- companies were obliged to lay off several days on ac- count of the indisposition or fickleness of the leading lady. In one or two of these cases the principal was not a star of the first magnitude, and her place could easily have been taken by a capable understudy. In other lines of endeavor, the understudy plays an important role in the success of an enterprise, be it professional or commercial. A vacancy occurred that could not be filled by some one of equal if not ae than the person he succeeded. The biggest portion of iity are understudies of one kind or another. The understudy looking, heavy-footed; she wears garish and impossible garments; her hair and complexion show the same tints to-day that they showed yesterday, and will show the same to-morrow. . Granting all that, there must be something extremely fascinating about the chorus girls of Britain, for scarcely a day passes without one of them snaring a member of their native aristocracy, and when any con- siderable force of them crosses the ocean, there are always loud calls for clergymen along Broadway. ' It seems impossible, indeed, for a rich Pitt sburger to resist the charms of a chorus girl, and particularly of an English chorus girl. Every Pittsburger worth more than $5,000,000 weds a chorister at some time or other. It is part of a millionaire's educa- tion in that town. He does it instead of going to college,, taking to airships, or making the grand tour. that can rise to the demand when it comes, and opportunity calls, is the one that has' the chance of becoming even greater than the one who preceded. Uplifting the Picture Business. The outcome of the meeting of the Motion Picture Exhibitors' League of Ohio, at Columbus, . last week, marks' a move in the right direction. This body of motion picture theatre managers, which orig- inally was composed solely of exhibitors operating theatres in Ohio, is expanding into other territory, and it is hoped by the League's sponsors that in time a national organization will develop from it. The purpose of the League is to elevate the type of performance given in the motion picture theatre, and to systematize the business of conducting playhouses in which photoplays are given. That the task is a huge one is obvious. . It will require the consistent and indefatigable efforts of a strong and influential organization to overcome the impedi- ments with which the industry is beset. Practically since its inception, the motion picture has been the target of numerous self-constituted guardians of public morals. That in some there has been cause for rigid censoring, is- not to be denied with the growth in popularity of the motion picture entertainment, the business of conducting the theatre gradually evolved itself, until new it is on sane and sound principles. The consistent and conscientious efforts of the Motion Picture League, in Ohio, has established a prece- dent, which it would be well for exhibitors in other localities to consider. The formation of similar leagues throughout the country would be an excellent step toward the general systemazation and aggrandizement of the moving picture American and English Chorus Girls. The differences between the English chorus girls and their Ameri- can sisters have long engaged the attention of ethnologists. The Ameri- ican chorister, upon a superficial examination, seems to have all the better of it. She is, in the first place, far more vivacious than the maid from over, the ocean; she has a more strident and penetrating voice, her guffaw is more stentorian, her cartilages are more resilient ; she is, as the professors of dancing say, "more lighter on her feet." Again, she dres-es in better taste than the English girl, and, yet again, there is - variety in her beauty. The imported coryphee is stolid, stupid- Light Attendance and Its Influence on the Actor. • It is a fact beyond dispute that actors and actresses are prone to show their displeasure when being obliged to play to small audiences. Perhaps they overlook the fact that the audience, no matter how small, has paid admission, and expects to see a good performance. .Actors invariably lack a proper spirit in their work if there is a small audience in attendance. Indifferent acting has been so noticeable in many cases that even the occasional theatre-goer could not fail to observe it. La>.t week, a well known American star played an engagement in a large western city, and while it is a deplorable fact, the. attendance during the entire week was very small. A number of those who had seen the play on different nights remarked the star's utter indifference and disgust- ing sneers. Those who paid to see this actor and his company were not to be blamed because others had not come to the theatre. Patrons of play- houses go to be amused. No advertising is so potent as the appreciation of an audience, but on the other hand, a dissatisfied audience may do a show a great deal of harm. Unfavorable publicity travels fast, whether it be voiced through the press or the public. - It would be well for some of our present-day stars to emulate the policy of "Joseph Jefferson, -who, regardless of the size' of his. audience, gave the best performance he was capable of giving, and insisted upon his supporting company doing like- wise. During his long career, he often referred to this policy, which he clsimcfi \v of all of you. and I - deeply appreciate same. Again many thanks. * . , . >*: Denny Mack, manager MeFsdden's Flats.- _ - handed me a letter be received from a chap who -, sriabed a position with Mack as agent.

The Lives of Famous Showmen An early issue of THE BILLBOARD will contain an article concerning the careers of some of the world's most famous showmen. The article will carry with it an interest such as has never before attached to similar ones through its being made up from the scrap books of P. T. Barnum and Jas. A. Bailey, and it will contain quotations from them. .These books have never before been accessible to any publication or magazine writer and the material will have all the novelty of interest that their long and uninterrupted inaccessibility has lent them. The books constitute a cache of treasure — a storehouse of inter- esting matter that will be treated with a care to the selection and preservation of the salient points. No person who is interested in circus history, biography and personalities can afford to miss this article. Billposting and Amusements Billposting has long been closely associated with the amusement business. This is because amusement enterprises were the first to use large billboard space. THE BILLBOARD will soon publish an article writ- ten by an authority on the subject of billposting in America and containing the details of the inception, growth and development of the business from lowly beginnings to a large, important and dignified enter- prise in which millions of capital and the energy of many able and brainy men are invested. The billpost- ing business was once carried on as an unimportant incidental by the managers of theatres and small-town opera houses. Now the entire business is controlled by large corporations anH with all the pomp and circum- stance consistent with its great dignity. Every issue of THE BILLBOARD will contain one chief feature article dealing with some important phase of the amusement business, some noted person- age, or the history of some allied or associated branch. These articles will be prepared by writers familiar with the details of their subjects because of close as- sociation or affiliation. Read them all.

The old Swedes, Dutch and Norse were the pioneers in the accom- plishing of gliding o'er the glazy surface on runners made of bone and wood. In its primitive state, and with the inhab- ' i tants of the polar regions, skating was a necessity and not a pastime. In the frigid countries where the only means of navigation was two strong limbs and indomitable courage, long ' .journeys across 'the ice. fields were only possible by means of the skate or sled. As far back as 1056 skating is men- tioned in literature, and two hundred years ago the German poets made men- tion of the art ' Goethe, Herder and other Teutonic bards have referred to. skating. Just when it became popular as a sport is not known, but it was ob- viously introduced in Continental Eu- rope and England by the sturdy inhabit- ants of the North, or sailors who had gions. l ne use 01 skates for pleasure has, of course, been gradually though persistently popularized; roller skating evoluted from the use of the steel run- ners, and has been sporadically success- ful. A curious fact is that while skating had its indpiency in the open air, the ice skating palace is a child of the roller rink. Compared to other lines of amuse- ment, skating is in an embryonic state. We do not mean by this that the sport has not had its successful vogue,- but that the highly systematized conditions of other amusements have not as yet been attained either by the promoters of roller or ice rinks. At the present time a revival in ice skating is noticeable. Several new ice palaces have been con- structed within the past year or two, and the older ones are experiencing big- ger successes. The successful oonstruction and main- tenance of an ice rink involves a large ex- penditure. The equipment necessary for an ice rink, including the freezing appa- ratus, will cost from thirty thousand to fifty thousand dollars, which is consider- ably more than the outlay necessary for a roller rink. Considering this cost and the recent erection of many ice rinks, it is obvious that this form of amusement is becoming more and more sought by the American public. A number of pro- moters who have heretofore been solely interested in roller rinks have remarked the possibilities for increasing their for- tunes by conducting well-equipped and properly managed ice rinks. Fred Nail, whose experience in roller rinks covers a period of many years, is among those who have recently taken an interest in ice skating. At present he is interested in the Detroit Arena, which opened De- cember 3, an account of which ap- pears on another page of this issue. Mr. Nail has contributed a number of ob- servations, which will bear repeating here. As he sees it, ice skating under modern conditions is a staple and pros- perous amusement enterprise when car- ried on by men of capital, experience and sound business judgment. He points to the fact that in some localities unfav- orable conditions have developed, which he attributes solely to the lack of good judgment or a proper knowledge of the numerous details a rink manager must be conversant with. The advent of the new methods employed in freezing ice surfaces artificially have led a few in- experienced managers to believe that ice skating could be successfully and profit- ably conducted during the summer months. Mr. Nail believes that this is a grievous misconception, and that any at- tempt to conduct an ice rink during the heated term can only result in failure. Short seasons and brief sessions are ad- vocated by him. All of the many ice skaters who have achieved international fame, we can not attempt to mention in this article. The list is long and the successes registered by the individual skaters cover a period of many years. Perhaps the most noted ice skater the world has ever known is Norval Baptie. He has held the world's for more than twenty years, and his record indicates that he is to-day in better condition that at f period during his career.

Dee. 12 (Special to The Billboard!. — For some time past rnmor bu been current that the Martin Beck Interests are contemplat- ing an entrance Into New York, provided some amicable arrangement can be consummated. It has been suggested that a number of theatres were nnder consideration as an Eastern house for the Orpheum Circuit. Not until the past week has anything materialized that would tend to lend any truth to the rnmor. However, from Terr good authority closely in touch with Mr. Beck's movements. It haa been stated that the western vaudeville magnate offered Hammerstein 11.000.000 for the Manhattan Opera House. If some amicable affiliation could be brought about, the vaudeville complexion would be ma- terially changed as it would then allow the Orpheum Circuit to invade the East, thereby violating the so-called Dnsa.

Tbe concluding performance will be given under tbe auspices of the Macon Shriners, and the program for tbe day will be made doubly attractive on account of the many local acts and burlesque features to be Interpolated by members of the Shrine.

In- cluding Georgia, Florida. Louisiana. Mississippi. Alabama. Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia. West Virginia. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Mich- igan. The largest town visited was Toledo, Ohio, and the smallest town. River Junction, Fla. One slight blow-down was experienced during the season, at Pigeon, Mich. Only fire perform- ances were lost daring the entire tour. No railroad wrecks were experienced. Only two changes were made In the personnel of tbe big top company. Three changes were fused to make a statement, and In a rather un- professional manner invited our correspondent to beat a hasty retreat to the fiery shore of Plato's domain. He also refused to answer any questions orer tbe telephone. His refusal to speak Is therefore tantamount to an acknowl- edgment that the rumor la correct. Several other changes are mentioned In the rumor, not- able among which la the redaction of tbe side show admission prices to five cents, and the elimination of the side show band, which will next season be supplanted by an orchestrion. Whether or not the Sells-Floto Shows will be able to make money at the admission price of twenty-five cents remains to be seen. There are a number of tent shows that have money with a twenty-five cent gate but none of these hsre attempted to put large a abow as the Sells- Plot " 5 1910 tour of the San Show Has been tbe financially since Its inception, nineteen years ago. Extra heavy billing, meritorious performances, bnstllng management, loyal boss- es, and exceptionally select territory waa tbe cause of this prosperity. No street parades were made during the season, and this policy will again be In force for the coming tenting season. The Sun Brothers abandoned this old- time traditional feature five seasons ago, and hare demonstrated tbat It is possible for a tent- ed show to attract immense crowds to the lot, and also to jet them to attend the various ex- blhltlonal departments without it.

Over to Canada they have to pay to play in the rinks. St. Louis, Mo., will this winter be represented by some good Ice sksters. Oscar F. Blanken- melster and Joe Forsbaw say they will show the other skaters that they can get Into first-class condition. They raced at Chicago last year at the Western championship races, held by the Western Skating Association, and without any training made a creditable showing. A committee is at work to New York organ- izing a national society, whose object will be to stimulate renewed Interest to expert figure skat- ing; a winter's sport whose devotees have become fewer and fewer In recent years. Only once since tbe International union was founded. 20 years ago, has an American skster qualified for a European competition, principally because tbe American style of figure skating Is so radically different from that abroad. BRIDGEPORT SKATER8 WINNERS. New York, Dec. 10 (Special to Tbe Bill- board). — Tbe Bridgeport roller skating relay team, composed of Harry Burke and George Chatneld. sprang a big surprise on the New York team, consisting of William Blackburn, the Eastern professional champion, and Frank Brower, last Thursday night at the Metropoli- tan Roller Rink, Broadway and Fifty-second street. Tbe event was st live miles, the men to relay at will, and tbe latter team was picked to win easily.

That tbe sport of roller skating basis Is not a fad or a spasmo an Institution which Is being operated on sound huslness principles. Is tbe contention of C. E. Aldrlcb. manager of tbe Coliseum Rink. Elgin. 111. Says Mr. Aldrlcb: "A great many h>ve carried tbe Idea that tbe present roller skating era would be of short life. Perhaps they would be right in their supposition if the same condi- tions existed today In the roller rinks that were In evidence In the old skating days. We all re- member tbe old boxwood .rollers on pin sales with nicked edges and the trusty whose duty It was * to shower the pumice and chalk on the corners st frequent Intervals' to enable the skater to make the corners at a good speed. Very little discrimination aa to who waa ad- mitted so long as they bad the price.. To-day tbe conditions tbst surround tbe well appointed rink are vsstly different. The a port is on s business baais to-day. - Tbe best conducted rinks bare only gentlemen to wait upon tbe patrons. Tbe surface Is kept In a perfectly smooth con- dition with no dost from puratce or chalk. "Yon should know that your skates are st til times In perfect order. Keep your music popular and see that they get plenty of It. Keep away from the racing game and give them plenty of features tbst are new.

Once more the glorious season of Christmas approaches, and our hearts are filled with an ineffable joy and peace. Good fellowship pre vails, hostilities are cast aside, and a general spirit of friendliness is seen on every side. On this most befitting occasion, The Billboard begs to extend its thanks to the numerous friends and supporters, who have, during the year, been ever watchful, faithful and true. To our readers, advertising patrons, correspondents and representatives do we extend our sincerest appreciation for the favors they have shown us. To our boosters, ever quick to appreciate our efforts, always alert to aid us, and never tiring in their praise of 'our enterprise, much thanks is due. To the actor, and performer, manager and agent, proprietor and employee, we extend our sincerest thanks. The year now rapidly waning has been one of delightful associations. The growth we have shown and the progress we have made, indicates positively that the year has been one prolific of newly formed friendships. To all our friends, to those who believe in us, and those who will, we repeat: A Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year! The Tipping Evil. The tipping evil has been the subject of much discourse recently, and, in a, number of places, the practice has been entirely abolished. In America, with the possible exception of two or three of the largest cities, it is not necessary to tip as many persons as in Europe, but the usual amount given in London or Paris would either be returned with thanks, or scorned by an American. The stage tip is an evil which should be eradicated entirely, if a fair and impartial treatment is to be given all actors. The system of discriminating between the artist who tips heavily and the one who either offers a small fee or none at all, has worked many hardships on the performer with a small purse. On the stage as well as in all walks of life, the man of moderate means finds it hard to pay excessive tips on every turn, but he must do it if he wants service. Within the past fortnight, a prominent Eastern vaudeville manager has made future tipping at his theatres impossible In entering upon an arrangement with the theatrical union, this manager has agreed to increase the wages of his employees, with the understanding that they will not accept tips from any performer. "The prevalent system of tipping stage hands has been the source of much criticism, as high-salaried artists, with a generous tip, receive courtesies which small-salaried actors are denied, because they cannot afford so large a tip," argues this manager. The custom has become so general that stage employees consider the tip a legitimate perquisite. A system of marking the trunks and property of the no tip performer now exists, and woe to the artist whose baggage is thus marked. He can expect but little assistance from the stage hands in the next city he visits. This should not be. An artist is necessarily under heavy expense, and often, after hotel bills and railroad fare are paid, he has little left. This is especially true when long jumps are made. The New York manager referred to above has established a precedent managers throughout the country would do well to follow. Moving Pictures and Science. Once more the moving picture has stepped to the front in the interest of humanity, this time to further one of the most worthy causes ever promoted for the improvement of health and the eradication of disease. During the past week, thousands of moving picture theatre managers in America have projected a film showing how tuberculosis is bred and developed where unsanitary conditions exist. For some time, a crusade against the white plague has been waged with a firm and persistent pertinacity by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, and the Red Cross Society. Columns and pages of newspaper space have been devoted to publishing news of die good work these institutions are doing, but the simultaneous display of the film throughout the country, showing with an exactness that might almost be called cruel, how the dreaded disease has its birth and develop- ment, will do more toward arousing public interest than all the publicity that might be given through the medium of printers' ink. In a number of moving picture theatres, booths, presided over by Red Cross nurses, were placed during the time the pictures were on dis- play, and the amount realized by the sale of Red Cross Stamps in the moving picture theatres will be large. This is not the first time the moving picture has espoused the cause of science. On many other occasions in the past it has been utilized to demonstrate scientific lectures and educational subjects in the theatre, as well as in the class room of colleges and universities. Notwithstand- ing the excellent and valuable assistance the moving picture has proven to be as an educational factor, there are still many reformers who will utterly overlook the good, and take every occasion to denounce the moving picture. This class would do well to look at the doughnut, and not the hole. This also applies to cartoonists. The Play Pirate. While it occasionally occurs that some filibustering manager in America has the temerity to advertise and produce plays without the permission of the original producer, the abuse is less frequent in this country than in other sections of North America. Of late this flagrant and abominable practice has been carried on in Canada without the slightest pretense of concealment, but thanks to several prominent man- agers in the English Colony, measures have been adopted that will serve to eradicate this piracy entirely. Recently, a wild cat company, playing a well known metropolitan success, without permission, was intercepted by the Canadian authorities, and obliged to discontiue their tour. The manager of this show hastened to New York City, where arrangements were negotiated with the owners of the play, and now this company is again operating in Canada, though paying the usual royalties. This is a form of piracy which producing managers would do well to give their attention to. In most cases the company that will attempt to offer, without authority, a production of some other manager, is far from first-class, and usually leaves a bad impression in the communities it plays. The Musical Leader is greatly incensed over the printed statements that the police, of Chicago, were responsible for the hasty and abrupt withdrawal of Salome from the Chicago Opera House. Their editorial, which contains an entirely different view of the matter, is as follows : "What purpose was served in publishing broadcast a deliberate false- hood concerning the withdrawal of the music-drama 'Salome,' is not known, but the stories, as printed, were in many cases wide of the mark. This paper gave the only authoritative version of the matter, when it stated that the board of directors, with the general manager, Andreas Dippel, acting of their own volition, concluded that the wiser course, in face of the many criticisms aroused and the freely expressed comment, was to abandon for the time being any further presentation of the Wilde-Strauss work. "The general impression, according to the newspapers all over the country, appeared to be that the chief of police ordered 'Salome' with- drawn from the boards of the Chicago Opera House. This is an abso- lutely malicious statement, lacking any foundation, save an interview purporting to give the chief's ultimatum. Anything more ridiculous was never perpetrated on the public Objection was introduced by certain stockholders and sustained by some of exceptional influence, in whose opinion the production was prejudicial to the interests of the opera company, and might be retroactive with regard to next season. With such strong argument against the opera, it was decided that a pacificatory policy would be advisable, and that while no decency had been outraged, yet it was best to submit with good grace to the conservatives who de- sired that the new company should stand well before all classes. It was clearly not a case of coercion; nor of command,, but of simple expedience in conceding to certain expressed wishes of those most nearly affiliated with the promotion and concerned with the success of the Chicago opera or 4 The Billboard DECEMBER 24, 1910. character singing spectacle, highest novelty in vaudeville, every char- acter In Ira natlTe language, costumes designed by Madame Cngare.

The recent announcement of the inauguration of this plan has been received with much interest by the moving picture exhibitors all over the country, and The Billboard has, since this announce- ment first appeared, received a number of communi- cations from interested persons highly endorsing this plan. These reviews will be reliable, authentic and comprehensive, uncolored and impartial, thereby in- suring exhibitors a correct report of all releases. The Lives of Famous Showmen The next edition of THE BILLBOARD will con- tain an article concerning the careers of some of the world's most famous showmen. As announced in our last edition, the source from which this information will be obtained has never before been accessible to any amusement publication. Not only will this article treat of the history of circus celebrities, but it will contain many interesting anecdotes of circuses, when these most famous of amusements were in their infancy. The article will be illustrated. ;. .«. The Film Number. The edition of The Billboard to bear date of Jan- uary 28th will be designated as the Film Number. This edition will contain several especially prepared articles on moving pictures, contributed by a number of well-known persons whose association and long ex- perience with the film industry qualify them for con- tributing the most authentic and reliable information on this subject. Pertinent hints to exhibitors will be published along with the reviews of all films released by the several manufacturers of each faction. This edition will furthermore contain a number of illustra- tions of the stock companies of the various manu- facturing companies. The cover will be in two colors, emblematic of the enterprises it represents. In addition to these special features this edition will con- tain the usual departments devoted to the week's news and information. History of Amusements in America. A series of articles giving a brief history of the theatrical and amusement business in the larger cities of America is now in preparation, and the first of these reviews will be ready for publication in the near future. These articles will begin with the inception of the amusement business in each of the cities represented, and will deal briefly, though definitely, with those pioneers and their enterprises to which the present system of amusements owes its foundation. Illustra- tions of theatrical landmarks and the founders of amusements in their respective localities will be features of this series. In addition to the histories of the beginning and development of amusements, the present status of theatricals in each community will be dealt with. This series will constitute a budget of information no one interested in the amusement business'can afford to miss.

The Billboard Lithography was discovered by Aloys Senefelder, who was born at Prague, the capital of Bohemia, in 1771. The discovery dates probably from 1796, when Senefelder's attention was drawn to the properties of lithographic stone by a singular occurrence. One day, while experimenting, and having only well polished litho- graphic stones, his mother came into the room and asked him to write out a bill for the washerwoman. Having no paper or pen at hand, he jotted down the items of the bill on a clean stone, using for this purpose the ink he had prepared as an etching ground, which was com- posed of soap wax and lampblack. Sometime later, when going to rub the writing from the stone, it oc- curred to Sene- felder that he might etch it in relief, and, if nec- essary, it might prove an easy method of getting his musical pieces THE DONALDSON I would say here that he was a playwright and publisher of music, and being very poor, he had difficulty in get- ting the money with which to publish his com- positions. H i s attention had previously been drawn to the fact that on one of die lithograph- ic stones which were then used as hearth stones in that country — as the stones were very plentiful and frequently used for that purpose, and were susceptible of being grained and polished — a bowl of porridge had been spilt, and he noticed afterwards that where the porridge had been spilt, the stone remained clean, but gradually it attracted the grease and dirt, which gave it a stain, different in appearance from the portion where the por- ridge had been spilt on the stone. He conducted his experiments with great patience and perseverance, and finally a new discovery dawned uiK>n him— lithography. His first experiments were by placing his work on stone and etching it so as to raise those portions of the stone in relief, making what is called "high etching," but he soon found that the real principle in lith- ography, which was, in short, a daub of grease on a clean polished stone, would receive printing ink and refuse water, while the other parts of tlic stone that were not affected by the grease would retain moisture and ; refuse to take on ink, the natural principle of the mutual repulsion of ] grease and water coming into play. And this is practically the secret of lithography, as our printing is done on an absolutely flat surface, having neither cavity nor projection. Senefelder continued his experiments, and he constructed a rude wtioden press, and was his own artist and printer for a time. He tried to get aid from the German Government to develop the in- dustry, but was unsuccessful; he, however, turned his attention to the 1'rcnch Government, which appropriated $6,000.00 for the purpose of pron-oting the enterprise. This was the means of first making the in- dustry practicable. From this time on, lithography appears to have 'gradually gained in use, and, finally, in the year 1840, lithographic- color printing was brought out in London, and its first appearance produced a general sensation. A number of lithographic establishments were i opened, not only in England, but also in France and Germany, and although the finest color work appears to have been done in London, yet the trade grew in Germany more than any other country. In proportion to its population, it may be said that Germany leads in the greatest number of lithographic establishments of any country in the world. I would say here that lithographic stones had been used by the Turks many years prev- ious to this time, in the construc- tion of their mos- ques. It was their favorite stone and used more than any other. Within the last twenty great ments have been made in litho- graphic machin- ery. The Ameri- can Lithograph- ing Company, of New York, built the multi - color press which prints a number of col- ors at one time. There are a num- ber of firms that bought offset presses, which are the most rapid producers at the present time. Between the years 1803 and 1850, many distinguished artists tried their hands in making crayon drawings on stone. Among these were Charles Heath, John Landseer and Thomas Bewick ; also Turner, Harding, Roberts, Simpson, and even Queen Victoria is said to have made some drawings on stone, which were very creditable. By this time there were quite a number of establish- ments in America. New York City, of course, had the largest and best establishments, but there were quite a number in the principal cities of the United States, but, as a rule, they were small, the work being done on hand presses, on which the output was very little. In Cincinnati the first establishment was started by Archibald Mac- brair, who was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, February 26, 1805. He started in the lithographing business in Belfast, Ireland, in 1840, printing on a hand press that he had made himself. He came to this country, bringing the press with him, and opened a shop in Cincinnati in 1849, being the first lithographer west of the Alleghany Mountains. He en- larged his plant from time to time, and after his death in 1882, he was succeeded by his sons, who, in 1885, incorporated under the name of The Macbrair Lithographing Company of Cincinnati. This company still has the old Belfast hand press which Mr. Macbrair brought with him. The next to open in Cincinnati was a firm by the name of Fleetwood. Mr. Fleetwood came a year after Mr. Macbrair. and his business was, like Mr. Macbrair's, very small. He conducted his business for quite a number of years. Following him was Mr. Menzell, and after him was Mr. Wallace, who, like Mr. Macbrair, came from Scotland, bringing his on pag* 45.) CO.. NEWPORT, KY. 6 The Billboard DECEMBER 24, 1910.

Miss St. Denia, lu ber desire to give color to her settings, however, employe numerous assist- ants, many of whom destroyed the very effect that she wished to produce. This was partic- ularly true In the banquet scene In The Feast of Eternity. There the dancing and the con- versation and the general effect was anything but old Egyptian. It waa only wben Miss St. Denis appeared upon the scene and all the others were quiet that the illusion was estab- lished and sustained. The Balalaika Orchestra again won for it- self the heartiest approbation. W. W. An- dreetr. the conductor, presented a varied pro- gram of Russian folk snags, both sentimental and comic, which in simplicity of theme and in artistic expression were a delight to the ear and the imagination. Perhaps his most success- ful number was the Song of the Boatmen of the Volga. Other delightful songs were M. Andre* ITS own Butterfly Valae. I Have Been Dancing With a Gnat, and Oh, My Garden!

AT LAST Satisfactory Agreement is Reached Between Principal Circus Proprietors and Associated Billposters — Convention to be Held Later ebleh promises to be of far- importance In the circus world nas been determined on by the principal circuses. Concluding thst common action would be of benefit, an agreement has been signed, looking to action In common in the business relations of the circuses with the Distributors.

The circus proprietor* agree to the action of the contention and under no circumstances make any arrangement with the Associated Billposters lndlvidaally. or excepting as agreed to by all of the "reus proprietors, or by their ts authorised by letter to act foe This contention prior to the asnnal agents and the circus commltl elated Billposters, snd at the < All the principal agreement, lnclodlr Floto. Hagenbeck Pawnee Bill, Sella Bros.. 1' Gentry Bros., Bros.' Shows. Then' Is no intention of becoming Intolred In a light against the bill posters or anybody else, but this new departure on the part of the circuses Is in line with the trend toward unified action In business, and marks the pasting of lndltldoallsm, which has been a remarkable feature of the circus business. It Is to be expected thst many matters other than bill posting will be taken op and common action preralT. as there are many lines in which such action can not fall to be extremely beneficial to all circuses, snd as such are properly within the scope of the new organisation. A prominent circus agent In talking of thla organisation, says thst the raise In rates on the part of the Association la probably a con- tributing cause to Its formation, and that the new rates which will mske It cost twenty cents per month to post a sheet of psper costing from one to four cents, will force the circuses Into new methods of sdtertlalng, owing to the pro- hlbltlte cost of bill posting. Commercial sdrertisers the country oter are protesting against the advance in rates and in the opinion of a number of prominent Al elation bill posters, they will be withdrawn. CAPT. H.

(Continued from page 8.) Aahtrm Stevens, of the Exsminer, used the following heeding: "The Whirlwind, French and frank. Bernstein drama better than 'Sam- ton;' starts where most 'Problems' stop." James O'Doonell Bennett, of the Record- Herald: "Is feeble In Invention and pointless In Its tppllcttlon as a criticism of life. Lack- ing the Ant attrlbote. it ftllt to sustain the interest of the auditor; lacking the aeeond. It falls to provide tbe element thst makes so sordid a tale endurable. Mlsa Illlngton enacted the role of the wife with abundant emotional prowess, and she haa made a marked gain in the command of repose." BERNHARDT IN MADAME X. (Continued from page 12.) through the courtroom aa they * announce her liberation, that veil waa Inseparable from the figure of tbe woman. . . Tbe court scene aa the crisis gave the wretched prisoner in the dock ber greatest opportunity In tbe conflicting motions which beset ber— horror of her husband, present to watch his son's first great caae, absorbing tenderness for the boy, from wbom she must gusrd the secret of . mother, and protest sgainst the taw which would condemn a tinner for the crime Inspired by ber one pure motive. But It was the cnmulstlve force of tbe portrayal which won the actress such Isstlng plaudits snd such tribute of tears. The Tribune wsa equally spontaneous In !ta apprvclatlve comments snd said: Muw. Bernhardt rises fully to tbe demands of tbe old. old situations In their new guise. It Is no difficult tssk for her. perhaps, to produce again tbe fitting tricks from that bag Oiled with the tttge experience of hair a century, but her performance la wonderfully effective, none the less. Ainsilngly realistic are ber at- titude and her look of blank bewilderment after the hit killed her lover, and thenceforth the rises from climax to climax, ending with a death acene that la not drawn from the bag, where, so many are stored, but Is worked up anew, with ghastly realism. The trial la a triumph of her silent Bernhardt sdded. laat -' of her virtuosity to From the Herald: The French actress hat a role In Ihe Blaton drama that la wonderfully anlted to her art and talents. She abstained from making tbe second act aa grewsome aa It baa been played here, rather tempering tbe portrayal of tbe ether drinking woman. Bnt tbe trial scene gave her the opportunity for wonderful emotional acting that brought tears to msny eyes. Mona. Msxodlsn aa tbe Fleurlot waa admir- able, and Mona. Lou Tellegen played Raymond with convincing boyishness. Mons. Deeoeur was artistically brutal aa Laroque, and all of Ihe other rolea were ably filled. ' In whatever language It la played. LaFemme Z It a gripping drama. The Sun remark! that Mme. Bernhardt a share In the sctlon of tbe play Is slight, so In qusu- tlty tbe audience has comparatively little of her. The quality of what she offered wss In- comparable, and ahe not only acted the aband- oned, hopeless mother very resllstlcally. but she looked the part so completely that there wss no necessity for the unconscious spology that some of her appearances have Irresistibly suggested.

In view of the fact that several attempts have been made, and recent an- nouncements proclaimed, that an encroachment on the name, fame and reputation which has become of great value to us as a trade-murk, owing to its original and historic association and the reputation pained through- out the world on account of the exalted character of the exhibition created by ourselves, and because of our distinct personality, we deem it just to the public, and to ourselves individually, to WARN ALL PROMOTERS, INVESTORS or "PROFESSIONAL ANGELS" Who may in the future attempt to promote or induce others to sub- scribe or invest in the corporation, promotion or presentation of any ex- hibition bearing the names of BUFFALO BILL, or PAWNEE BILL, or any part of such professional titles or acquired trade-marks, and we hereby further emphatically state that every legal means, pressure and influence will be used to protect our legal and just rights in this respect. It has come to our personal knowledge that certain shows during the past season were advertised and operated under such misleading titles as "Young Buffalo," "Buffalo Ranch," and other fictitious names closely re- sembling Buffalo Bill, and it is now publicly announced that it is the intent and purpose to place other and similar shows before the public, bearing the title of "Young Buffalo Bill's Wild West," or otherwise, with the intent and purpose of misleading, confusing and implying that the original and only "BUFFALO BILL*' — COL. W. F. CODY- someone closely resem- bling him, will appear and impersonate, or lead the public to believe that the great plainsman, whose reputation is one of the most valuable assets in business, is in some manner connected with that or any other fraudulent outfit. It has been decided and adjudged by the highest courts in England and America that in all equity, legal and moral right, the identification nom-de- plume of "Buffalo Bill" is a legitimate, legal title and trade-mark, and that anyone other than Col. W. F. Cody, who may attempt to use this title, is perpetrating a swindle upon the public, and liable to imprisonment for fraud with fines and cost of action. Therefore we will use every proper and justifiable means to protect our interest in the enterprises* bearing our names, with which we are personally identified, and our attorney, Francis James, Esq., of Cincinnati, Ohio, has been and is hereby authorized to prosecute any and all parties infringing upon our rights in these premises.

Mr. Curtis renders a number of pleasing songs during the act, among those worthy ef mention being Little Puff of Smoke, Good-night and Think It Over, Mary. An Interpolated number that goes big is When the Old Oaken Bucket was Mew. the words of which were composed by George Mori- arty, third baseman of the Detroit team of the American League. The Four Amaranths, a quartette of r obust young women In bine costumes direct from London, created a sensation with their acrobatic Broughton. English contralto, playing -i accompaniments on the grand piano, delivered a notable program of song, Ja which she had the assistance of Denla Creadon, vio- linist and baritone. The Brothers Lloyd are another pair of Eng- lish Importation, and they reflected credit upon their native land by .contributing one of the most novel and skillful acta on the bounding cablea In the whole Held of variety.. Their act occupies the entire stage,' which la set. aa an English battleship, and the Lloyds In naval cos- tumes, dance hornpipes and play violins on the bounding wires. They conclude their per- formance by turning somersaults while playing the violin, landing upon the cables without missing a note.

Joseph Hart's production of The Little Stranger was another welcome offering. It Is dominated by a fine touch of sentiment Ideally in keeping with the Tnletlde spirit. Frank Craven and George V.

He has purchased a large herd of buffaloes, which will .Increase his holdings to about one hundred, and a* he la possessed of the largest ranch In America, he will almost control the buffalo Industry. Edward Arlington, who la an equal owner with the Miller Brothers In the 101 Ranch Seal Wild West Show, Is laying out hla campaign for the coming season. The show will be larger In all departments, and will absolutely stand on its merits. Performers have been secured from foreign countries, aome never seen in Amer- ica before.

Why, the business would be great. It was tried here about live years ago, but alnca then things have been changed from a theatrical standpoint and the community assures success.

The year of IQIO has gone into history as one of greater trials and vexations in the amusement business than in the preceding year. Not for many years has the circus suffered as it did during the first few months of ioro. Many inauspicious openings were made, several shows inaugurated the season in snow storms, while a few postponed the begin- ning of their tour until the severity of the elements had abated. Added to the inclemency of the weather were numerous cases of unprofitable opposition fights, which greatly aided fn diminishing the profits. The circuses undoubtedly made more money than other amusement enter- prises, for, while the first few months were unprofitable, it is a fact that business during the summer months reached normal proportions. The parks suffered in no small 'degree in the spring. The cool weather kept the public indoors until the early part of summer, and even though the weather in most localities was delightful during the summer and autumn months, a material falling off in receipts was noticeable. Theatricals have had a trying season, with many hard struggles. The iqio offerings have, in the aggregate, been little better than passable, and the real meritorious productions have been greatly outnumbered by those of mediocrity, or even inferiority. Vaudeville has advanced in popularity and quality. The construc- tion of theatres throughout the country, where vaudeville is the form of attraction, indicates unequivocally that vaudeville as a popular form of amusement stands upon an adamantine foundation. Not a small num- ber of shining lights in the theatrical firmament have embraced vaude- ville during the past season with variable success. Burlesque has shown remarkable development. The indomitable perseverance of its promoters is beginning to manifest results, and their efforts covering a period of several years, have at last demonstrated that burlesque can be produced as a pastime for the classes as well as 'the masses. Seeing a woman attend a burlesque theatre is no longer a spectacle to cause amazement, as the quality of burlesque has been so materially aggrandized that a husband need not hesitate to take his wife to this class of theatre. While this is true, there are many communities in which the burlesque theatre is still considered a place only to be visited by the sterner sex. Agricultural fairs met with variable successes. In some locations, records for attendance were established, while in others, business fell short of former seasons. The motion picture business has undergone many changes, for better and for worse. The fight between the two factions, the Motion Picture Patents .Company on one side and the Sales Company on the other, has not been ended, although there was less display of hostility than in other seasons. The fight between the licensed and independent companies has not been as severe as that which marked other seasons, and were it not for a few mudslinging film periodicals, no sign of any differences would be apparent. Although the foregoing epitome of conditions in the several branches of amusements does not present a very alluring picture, there is no reason for alarm. A closer view and careful study of the situation should suggest remedies— bearing .in mind the public and its capricious testes. No vast degree of perspicacity is needed to discern the fact that the public's tastes are undergoing a change. This statement applies to all form of entertainment. The process of evolution has been going on since the history of the world began. Sometimes there is a reversion to old forms and old desires, and the astute purveyors must take note of these whims. The people must be amused, and the managers with the foresight to provide the form of amusements in demand will profit. Those in the professional ranks who apply their wits and capital tj meet the desires of a fickle public, will succeed, as all such men do. This being the season when thanks for extended favors are in or- der, The Billboard acknowledges with sincere pleasure and gratification, all gratuitous advertising which has been given it by its s in their reading columns during the year 1910. Reaping the Reward. In this land of ours there are many real people — people, whose per- severance, grit, stick-to-it-iveness and abilities are brought to popular notice tn rough achievements out of the ordinary. But sometimes it happens that an unappreciative and indifferent public fails to observe and take cognizance of the certain few individuals who are within their midst in every-day, commonplace existence, and yet who are possessed of. virtues far, yes, very far out of the ordinary. One of the greatest triumphs the individual man can accomplish is that of doing well the things that are his to do. His station in life may be ever so humble, yet if he fills that station creditably, he has succeeded - well. A man who exerts himself to the limit and gives to a non-observ- ant world the very best that is in him, and draws therefrom a mere liveli- hood in compensation for his untiring efforts, is certainly a great, strong, compact personality. His is not the career that solicits applause, neither can he feel the intoxication of being popular, nor the attractive- ness of the "much-made-of" idol. His only happiness and contentment comes from the beautiful thought of being true to himself and to the standards set by custom and environment consistent with the position in life that his natural fitness provides. This thought is prompted by the death of such a man. He was a per- former, a man subservient to the dictates of others; one whose voca- tion was to entertain the masses, and make them forget the cares and troubles of a hard and sometimes cruel world. Yet how little they knew of Air troubles. The memory of this man only tends to enliven within u.s a sort of revolutionary pirit towards those who were indirectly re- sponsible for his death. As we said before, this performer was engaged by a well-known manager of a well-known vaudeville circuit. His work was strenuous. Through whim of satirical nature, the physical man rebelled. A nervous breakdown was evident unless he could take the time to rest and recuperate. He appealed to the manager only to learn that if he did not appear at the scheduled time, and present his act, that his con- tract for all future bookings would be canceled.. Then the spiritual man asserted itself — that dominant trait that has made man master of the world— came to the front, and he continued to work and work, be- ing present every night and not in the least endangering the success of the performance by any soldiering on his part. Of course, the inevit- able happened. The performer is taken from his dressing room to the hospital, where in a few hours he was forced to give up the great battle, and in a feeble whisper murmurs his last farewell to wife and friends. This man's indomitable spirit to do or die teaches one of the grandest lessons ever taught. His only, reward— the self-consciousness of a no- ble effort. Really, does not the: world owe such men greater rewards? The New Berth Rate. Now that we are to have a reduction in rates on upper berths, it is to be hoped that the obliging porters will not become so much more atten- tive, that what is saved on the berth, will be applied by necessity to the tip. Speaking of porters reminds us of the following anecdote : A trav- eler had with him $5,000 in bills, wrapped in a package, which he dis- covered he had lost directly upon leaving the train. Rushing into the Pullman office, he acquainted the manager with his loss. The manager summoned the conductor, but this individual had seen nothing of the package. Calling the porter, the manager said to him : "Jim, did you find a package of money in the car?" "Yes, sah," replied the porter. "How much was in the package?" asked the manager. "Five thousand dollars," answered the porter, as he handed the package to the manager. "Why didn't you report it immediately, you black scamp," retorted the manager. • The porter, with an offended and disappointed air, replied: "Boss, I done thought the genman left it for a tip." "One way to measure your success is by the earnestness with which your competitors lie about you." — Benjamin Franklin. 4 Th e B t lib oar d DECEMBER 31, 1910.

George Fomeroy Goodale began bis service on The Free Press, a service which has never been. Interrupted and which has uniformly reflected credit not only upon the worker himself and upon his paper, bot also upon all dramatic art and criticism. Mr. Goodale today is the oldest writer on stage topics in continuous active service In America — perhaps In the world. Bis knowledge of his field Is not exceeded by any man and y It Is sot equal ed. Mr. Goodale la fortunate In many of bis en- dowments, not the lesst of which Is a genius tor hard work/ By means of It, he developed from a boy printer with a liking for the atage .. into a thorough master of the English language, .^.Vearattoctlou- acquired by very few even of those who are accounted successful writers. By means of It. he gained the power of making accurate and nice distinctions, and of weighing and bal- ancing men. methods and plays. Be learned to distinguish almost unerringly between honest endeavor and bluff. He Is uniformly patient and helpful toward the former, and always justly severe with tne latter. Mr. Goodale never fails to recognize the man or woman who tries, and ' he Is quick to detect talent TJ uouah bis genius for work, the dramatic - editor or The free Press has performed 'a service that would hare exhausted, many a naturally robust physique and brain, simply because of its monotony of - theme; but today, -Mr. Goodale Is as keen 'and' alert as ever he was. This ability to work has also kept him abreast of the to ac i the art. he has s voided the pitfalls |__ of the older critics have It la Inconceivable that 1 old in spirit. mUe - any mention of outdoor amusements at this season of the year may be considered incongruous, the fact' that a large number of letters asking for .information concerning outdoor amusements have reached us, indi- cates that more than usual interest will be manifested in outdoor enterprises next season . This being true The Bill- board has been prompted to arrange with several of the foremost authorities on outdoor amusements for the con- tributiop of articles on the industries they represent, if the popular belief that fortunes and misfortunes run in cycles is'-'to be -credited; we can look' forward to a very prosperous park /.season next year: The articles in p rep a ra- tion will give reasons why the season of 1910 was not a good one, and will point out the indications forecasting better success during the coming season. The several articles will treat exhaustively the subject of operating . and managing the Summer park, and also gi ve many hints for the successful organization of the agricultural fair. . As articles of this nature, .in order to be of any. real value, must be accurate and; comprehensive, The Bill- board has solicited contributions from only those, who by long association with outdoor affairs, have become so well familiarized with conditions, that their opinions constitute unquestionable authority; These articles will not only be of intrinsic value to those, engaged in the pursuits they represent, but will be of sufficient merit from a literary standpoint, to hold the attention and interest of all Billboard readers. Don't miss them. . Advertisers and Correspondents, Notice ! As the next edition, which will bear date of Jan- uary 7, will go to press several hours earlier than usual, correspondents and advertisers are requested to get their copy in as soon as possible this week. The mails were delayed last week owing to the large num- ber of Christmas parcels in transit, and it is possible that the rush will not be over for another week or two. This being the case, a reasonable time should be allowed for delays that may occur in the transmission of letters and packages. Get your copy in early !

Besides, our limited space compels us to give only those facts which are most important and which are of the most interest to the reader. ' It is only fitting that the article shall be commenced with a brief out- line of the career of - that peer of showmen, P. T. Barnum. Phineas Taylor Barnum was born and left his home. He obtained work on a farm, receiving the munificent wages of $3.50 a month. Later on he became a bell boy in a hotel at Pontiac, Mich. This was really the crucial step in.his life, because fate Mm in Bethel, Connecticut, July 5, 1810. His father, a country storekeeper, died poor, accordingly, Barnum, at a very early age, earned his living, engaging in several lines of busi- ness in different towns. In 1828, he returned to Bethel, where he open- ed a store. Soon after he was mar- ried. His business was unsuccess- ful, and he established a weekly newspaper with no better fortune. In 1834 he removed to New York and entered the show business with one attraction, Joyce Heth, a col- ored woman, announced as the nurse of George Washington, and 161 years old. With this attraction, Barnum registered his first success. A year later, Joyce Heth died, and then after a lapse of another year, Barnum purchased Scudder's Amer- ican Museum, changed it to Bar - mim's, and his fortune began to ac- cumulate. In 1842, the dwarf, Gen- eral Tom Thumb (Chas. S. Strat- ton), was engaged and exhibited by him successfully in the United- States and Canada. In 1849, he made a contract with Jenny Lind for a concert tour of one hundred nights in America, at $1,000 a night. He gave only ninety-five concerts, but made ah enormous profit from this speculation and many others, and retired temporarily in 1855, to live in his oriental villa, Iranestan, in Bridgeport, Conn. He expended large sums in improving and beau- tifying that town. Having endorsed notes to the amount of about one million dollars for a manufacturing company which failed, he was finan- cially ruined. In 1856, he returned to England with Tom Thumb, and partially retrieved his fortune. Re- turning to New York, he opened and conducted a museum, but it was burned July 13, 1865, as did another which he opened afterward. In 187 1 he organized his great traveling circus and menagerie, with which he was remarkably successful. The circus is still continued under his name and that of. his partner, James A. Bailey. Barnum possessed remarkable instinctive for advertising possibilities, and his original methods created for himself and his attraction world- wide publicity. One of his sayings, "that the public like to be humbugged * resulted in his obtaining much gratuitous publicity. Even to-day it is used with much frequency. As a showman, he was first despised, then ridiculed, then tolerated, and lastly, for many years, abundantly wel- comed. His charities were many, and he was one of the most public- spirited citizens in Bridgeport. On several occasions he was elected to the Connecticut Legislature, besides being Mayor of Bridgeport. He died April 7, 1891. mi 4p In his most successful enterprise, P. T. Barnum was associated with James A. Bailey. To Bailey was given the title of "King of Showmen." He wa S born in Detroit Mich., in 1847, being of Scotch-Irish descent. Like his distinguished partner, Bailey was born of poor parents. At the age of ten; he conceived the idea of tempting fortune of his own accord, ordained that he should meet there the man who gave the future circus king his first chance. The man who had that honor was Fred Bailey, the general agent for the Lake and Robinson Circus. He rapidly rose from billposter to general agent, becoming finally a proprietor in 1872. In that year he entered into part- with J. E. Cooper, forming the celebrated Cooper and Bailey firm, proprietors of The Great Lon- don Show. That same year the partners took the show to Australia, New Zealand, South America, and India, returning to the United States in 1878. By 1880, P. T. Bar- num had realized that the younger and rapidly- forging-ahead snowman would be a better friend than a rival, with the result that he offered Mr. Bailey the co-partnership with the present world-famous amuse- ment enterprise, known as the Bar- num and Bailey "Greatest Show on Earth." The actual management and policy of this show from that time on formed the life-work of Mr. Bailey. He planned and di- rected the European tour of the show, which during its five years abroad exhibited in England, Scot- land, France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, and Austria - Hungary. From the start it was a great and triumphant campaign. In 1905 he took the show to the Pacific Coast for the first time in its history. Not only did Bailey build up, control and direct the greatest show on earth, but, at the same time, he was supervising the movements and policy of the Buffalo Bill Wild West, of which he was an equal owner with Col. W. F. Cody. He also owned the Forepaugh-Sells Show in conjunction with Ringling Bros. In 1868, Bailey married Miss Ruth Louisa McCaddon, of Zanes- ville, Ohio. She was his constant companion, and in his will the great showman paid a touching tribute to her devotion and love through the many vicissitudes they had experi- enced together. Bailey died at his home in Mt Vernon, New York, on April 11, 1906, erysipelas being the cause of death. His remains were interred in Woodjawn Cemetery, on Saturday, April 14. Admittedly one of the rivals of Barnum and Bailey, when these show- men had reached the pinnacle of their success, was Adam Forepaugh, the proprietor of Forepaugh's aggregation. Forepaugh entered the show business in a rather peculiar manner. He had been a butcher boy in Cincinnati ; later was in the employ of a butcher and horse dealer, then he operated the stage line in Philadelphia, and afterwards dealt in horses and cattle. It was through his connection with the latter named business that Forepaugh entered his career as a showman. In 1861, he sold to John O'Brien, who was running a small wagon show, sixty-two head of horses at $9,000, and took as part payment an interest in the show. At that time Forepaugh had no idea of permanently embarking in the show business, but visiting the O'Brien Show in Pittsburg, he purchased it, and buying Jerry Mabie's Menagerie, combined the two, which formed the nucleus of the leviathian proportioned, Great Fore- paugh Show. The Mabie purchase consisted of two elephants and eight animals, for which Forepaugh paid $42,000. The property was delivered to him at Twelfth and State Streets, Chicago, on the very day of the on pat* 21.) .... ... _ ^MkSsid^y^- The Billboard — 81, 1*10.

He la evidently new to burlesque and Is free from the usual coarseness — or should I say bmsanenesa, of the average straight man In burlesque.

All of the and all are the show when I saw It laat week at the Pitta- burg Gayety, and of this act I feel bound to aay a few words. Tbey were tbe Mazettl Troupe of acrobats, consisting of nine people, seven men and two girls. Their work la of tbe or- dinary run of acts of their kind excepting that they surpass anything of tbe kind ever seen on a bnrleaqne stage, or for tbst matter, on any other stage. Their four high pyramid work and tbe triple somersault of the yonngest top- mounter onto the shoulders of another member of tbe troupe, fairly brought the house down, with regard to the Kentz-Santley Show I might say that there are better shows on both wheels bnt all In all Ihc show Is good and Is possessed of ^ any ^f est u res which sre an Innovation and ♦ There la a new theatrical paper on the market which Is to be devoted solely to the Interests of burlesque.

Morva Williams. Eleanor Carroll, Helen 8cott and Flo Dumont. The last two axe choristers bnt are well worthy of mention, especially Miss Dumont. who led a number in the opening, which waa one of the musical hits with the show. The number was Moonlight on Broadway. In which Miss Dumont, who looked - and ssng well, waa as- sisted by part of the chorus, all of which carried suit cases. Daring tbe song, tbe girls changed from their dresses to neat knlckerbocker suits, while tbe chorus boys Joined the ensemble in a shuttle, which waa danced upon tbe tops of the suitcases which were laid flat upon the stage for that purpose. At tbe exit tbe girls picked np the suitcases and turning: them around to- wards the audience, disclosed a transparent ef- fect through which glowed the light of small Incandescent lamps. The stage and house lights were thrown off and a pretty effect was ob- tained. All of tbe women did nicely aa did the National Poor, a quartet of excellent singers who materially belped the show by their pres- ence and versatility. One or those, boys ia an exceptionally quick wooden-shoe dancer and made quite a hit with bla solo work In tbe dancing number with Pearl Reld and the four boys.
