Only Stradivari Portrait Brought Over From Italy The only photograph of the only portrait extant of Antonio Stradivari, maker of the rare Stradivarius vio- lins, has been brought over from Italy by Giuseppe Virzi, of the violin-mak- ing firm of Virzi Brothers, New York, where it is now on exhibition. Virzi, while touring Italy in 1925, saw the picture in the possession of his friend, Cavalier Pietro Anelli, and only after long and strenuous negotia- tions was Virzi successful in obtain- ng the privilege of copy in the United States. The portrait, a labor of love by Francesco Gialdisi, shows Stradivari as he appeared at the age of 47. In order to protect the picture from care- less and perversive quantity produc- tion, Virzi has obtained a conpyricht on it, and all genuine reproductions bear the label, “Antonio Stradivari, Pittore Gialdisi (1691), Parma, Italy. Only portrait existing owned by Cav. Pietro Anglli. Cremona, Italy. Sol: right of reproduction in the U. S. owned by E., J. & J. Virzi, New York. Copyright U. S. and foreign.” Loew Comments On U. S. Films New York, July 5.—Marcus Loew, head of the Loew Circuit and the Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer Corporation, who reached here on the S. S. Leviathan after a two- month tour of Europe, declared on his arrival that about 99 ner cent of the most popular pictures being shown on the continent. with the excention of Germany, were produced by American organizations. He added that even in Germany, wher: the film industry is on a higher level than in other European countries, 70 per cent of the films shown there are American prodnuets Referring to antagonistic feeling of British film peop'« toward American films, Loew said this was gradually dying out. If English film eoncerns made good pictures the British people would patronize them, he com- mented. A fellow passenger with Loew was D. Roukhowtzky, motion picture producer of Berlin, who is here to make a picture for M. G. M. Films made by Boukhowtzky that have been shown here are All for a Woman, The Swan, Mad Love and Grau- stark. Krivit Returns to New York New York, July %.—Harry Krivit, erstwhile vaudeville producer, returned here this week after six weeks in Savan- nah, Ga., in time to receive bouquets, congratulations—verbal and by telegram —and criticism, more or less severe, anent his debut in that Southern city as an actor. His friends think it very kind, not to say cautious, of him to have gone to Savannah to make his debut in that capacity. Playing the role of an actor was as much a surprise to Krivit as it was to his friends. ‘This s how it came about.” ex- Plains iJarry. “I found that there was ne one in our stock company down there fitted to p'ay the role of Corporal Linin- sky when we rut ce What Price Glory? Nor was there «nv >» could fill the role of Corporal is So Ll and Wil- liem P. Fleming, who is manager of the Bijou Theater at Savannah, were é pre- vailed upon to play the parts.” First Censorship of Drama in America Took Place in Virginia Back in 1665 To those who are of the impression that the current fuss about stage censor- ship is q recent activity it probably will come as a big surprise to learn that the first censorship of the drama in Amer ca took place about 265 years ago in Vir- ginia According to records of Accomack County for 1665, several reported to the court i plav entitled Ye Bare and Ye Cubhb, and judging from the complaint made aga nst the actors the word “bare” spelled in the title. There waS only one practical way for the court to determine whether or not the play violated the proprieties of so- ciety. That was to bring the actors be- fore the court and have them repeat the play just as they had performed it_be- required to costumes they had worn performance. But the objectionable either in the cos- fore the public. They were wear the same for the public court found nothing in the words of the play or tumes Virginia honor of the also claims the frst playhouse and the first recorded performance of a May in the United The States in Williams- t capital of Virginia, 1716 during the ad- ministration of Governor Alexander Spotswood. who was a patron of the theater. In the records of Yorktown for that vear is an old contract by which William Levingston, merchant, agreed . theater was irg, the Colonial and was built in with Charles Stagg and his wife Marv actors, to build in Williamsburg a thea- ter “for the enac ting of omed es ? 1 tragedies in said ec'ty.”” Previous to this Levingston had been managing a peri- patetic dancing school in the county of New Kent. The Staggs were his star dancers, Ernest Latimore, manager of the Mutt and Jeff Company, has suggested that the theatrical profession should raise a fund to purchase a fitting and lasting marker to place on the spot of the f rst United States theater The location is now Marked with an old rough and faded wooden signboard which can hardlv be read. Mr. Latimore savs, and the city of Williamsbure undoubtedly would wel- come a more appropriate emblem, such 2s an exact reproduction of the first house.

Lat: Miss Curtis arrives. She has discarded her innocent f straight for a more sophisticated and aggressive one, which gives the of- ferin a better tone. If there were enough other material we would say that her former way of working would have been good enough. She also obliges with a Charleston and they conclude that part = routine with some talk and a song it fits in nicely. The talk is evi on. wh re Collier is pretty fair material. Prep: atory to the “chorus” making its entrance Fox does a recitation song about a towel and it is about the sam: as his towel number done in one of the George White Scandals productions. Also it is similar to one he offered for a short time in vaudeville. Fox sings in his half-Jolson style and comes in and it manages to fill more running time with less actual effort than most any other act w an think of right now.

S ers, it have not yet Screen play seems, arrived at the point where they need the protection and other advantages af- forded by a strong organization. Many of them, being in a position to dictate their own terms in the matter of salary, overlook the danger that besets the or- dinary members of that field owing to the lack of a standard contract. They are too prosperous at present to have thoughts about taking steps to pre- vent abuses before they become oppres- sive. In short, the rapid growth of the in- dustry, the quick making—and unmak- ing—of stars and the mad whirl of film activities in general seem to have thr actors in this game off their wn the reasoning balance. Meanwhile a striking example of the efficient and harmonious relations that can be made possible between strongly ed employees and equally strong employers is contained in a report con- ling the so-called union-management perative plan adopted some time ‘anadian National Railways imore & Ohio Railroad. nder this plan the machinists’ union the ( 4s and the Balt nd the railroad management work to- her to increase production, *decrease vaste, promote safety and_ sanitation ly the curve of employment. \ ing to one of the technical di- rectors of the plan, since 1923 there have been no fewer than 2,180 joint meetings of management and men on the RB. & O.

It is even possible that there will more, itse in conjuncti n Il be as much some form or be A Genuine Dramatist Fiy e European theatrical managers bought the stage rights to Gerhard uptmann’s latest play without even 1 nave Because ramatist. He doesn’t write plays to order. doesn’t pander to current susceptibilities of the crowd. He writes because he has something Hauptmann is a genuine He vital to say—something that he feels deeply and that urges him to write. No matter what a dramatist Hauptmann may have to say, listening to. His message, like it is worth of course, will com- mand attention according to what it is. But it will command attention, just as anv play by Shaw, Brieux, Pirandello, O’Neill or Werfel commands attention. The success of these plays, more- over, is not to be measured by the length of their run when they are first produced, but by the number of years they live in the alcoves of literature and among revival organizations. “Outside’” Shows When civic officials and other indi- viduals take steps to bar tent dramatic shows, circuses, carnivals and all other “outside” attractions from their com- munities they are committing an act that is equivalent to trying to abolish commerce and free trade. What would any country amout to without intercommunication between its cities and towns? No extensive knowledge of economics is required to answer the question. Yet, according to the attitude of many brick-headed individuals, every town should be a self-sufficient, closed com- munity as far as its entertainment en- terprises are concerned. The best way to deal with these peo- ple who are annoyed by “outside” shows is to round them all up, tie them to- gether and exile the whole crew in some nice quiet desert or on some un- visited mountain neak where they will never be bothered by “outside” shows, “outside” business, “outside” news or “outside” anything. very week The Billboard rece ne a ha actors, managers < ‘ Ss regarding allege tre 4 . usine ke y Some ¢ ‘ m s sig n Vavs W ‘ rre 1 richt fr ~ 1 com re ar n) ew rg an addr to W i As far as e anonym ( ns are neerned. ¢ e is 0 9 hat can be done with m ex to hrow them The in the w. b. others are given a sympathetic hearing. It has been found, however, that in 19 cases out of 20 the complainant him- self is to blame. He did not protect himself in ad- vance. In this day of speed, volume an 1 mul- tifariousness the safest way to do busi- ness is by written agreement. A court of law will not recognize a claim for breach of contract unless a written agreement exists and. can be produced as evidence. Actors and managers who do business without an agreement in writing are neglecting their own protection, No matter how justifie d thi ir ance may be, it has no Iega! standing The pub! ication of « ai pecially when it is not possible to \ y their authenticity and their sincerity, is dangerous business. It leads to libel suits. Also, in most cases, to satisfy the pique or the desire to “get even” on 1! part of one person, great injury is d to many who are innocent. The Billboard does not wish to be a party to such calumny. . . Plainly Speaking A county clerk in West Virginia, in the course of an argument with a tent dramatic showman who was having dif- ficulty in obtaining a license, had the nerve to say: “We don’t want any outside shows here. They hurt our moving picture theater business.” To this the showman replied in equally plain terms: “How about me? The moving pic- tures almost put me out of business. I have to carry my own theater now in order to play in a town.” The county clerk, of course, talked like a agg ses He apparently belongs to the “take- what-I-want-to-give-you-or go-without” class of theater operators. He seems to forget this is a free country. The situation could be adjusted very easily. If the motion picture people would permit an occasional road show to play their houses—and by “permit” is meant not merely a pretended willing- ness to let shows come in but also the offer of reasonable playing terms—there would be no hurting of any moving pic- ture theater’ s business. There is hope in sight, however. Things are working up to the point where public sentiment soon will make itself felt in the matter. Ziegfeld Pulls Another P. T. Barnum owed much of his suc- cess to the fact that he knew how to capitalize on a necessity—how to hook himself up with a current live topic so that he, instead of the topic, would vet most of the publicityv—and the same kind of an act is now being done by Florenz Ziegfeld. Ziegfeld, like Barnum, is indebted to publicity for much of his success. But, unlike Barnum, who acknow!l- edged his humbug practice and de- fended it with tenable arguments, Zicg- feld tries to palm himself off by pretend- ing sincerity. The heroic pose which he has just struck in shouldering himself with the blame for the wave of lascivious nudity on the stage, and his offer to lead the had ‘ ¢ ‘ idea ‘ nt ¢ until nov ( ] mpts to J I » that is rt, while in the } ry the ire fle he isn’t fooling any! v n rgument ; ry cver ft 1 ny erhil n forart's s YOU CAN BANK ON THA The long and short of it is tl nia ire fast becoming py Ziegfeld, foreseeing a new or things, is getting in on the grou —accompanied by lots of pul Equity and Censors é “quity’s stand in « Hon with Pes ta case.

Valdes or estra Vv linist HARTLEN, General permanent Cleveland, Pre- july 31 The Theater Organized in Paris, has been GE MIE R, the director of the Odeon Theater M ivising us to form a “Universal Society of the Theater” as a ” prelude to forming a grander body called the “Universal Federa- tion of Human Culture”. These are certainly large plans, but they will seem less strante to the artists of the Continent, where the fostering of the arts is held to be a proper function of State and city, than to Engl sh- men brought up in our strong tradition - wsthetic individualism. It is certainly true that development in the building, lighting and gen ral control of the stage would gain by an increase of international communi- cations, but whether this kind of neizhborly interest will be most helped by the formation of grandiose councils and conferences or by the inter- change of private visits is a question that only experience can solve. But there is no doubt whatever that M. Gemier’s restatement of the demand for a theater organized contains the tt of the remedy for many of our present discontents. Before we organize the greater we must begin to organize the less, and the real weakness of the English theater at present is not that it lacks skilled service from playwright, actor and producer but that this service is squandered thru a lack of national system. The repertory theaters struggle on in almost complete isolation, overworking their companies in order to keep up a flow of new productions ; the — struction of a circuit whereby the repertory teams could exchange th: audiences, and so play a piece for 8 o r 10 weeks in several cities instead a for one or two in their home theater, does not appear to be a matter of overwhelming difficulty. Yet the tragic isolation and waste of effort con- tinue, and Manchesteg and Liverpool remain almost as separate In the- atrical matters as if they were Abe nde en and Plymouth The plan for reviving Sadler’s Wells as a house in alliance with the “Old Vic” shows that policy is moving in the right direction, but such s« hemes should go far bevond the linking up of two houses in a single city If we are not to have organization of the theater by nation and municipality, we must do it by co-ordination of groups, and this is an indispensab! preparation for entry into the vast federations to which M.

But at the Same time they expect a show out in Montana to give as good a show as they saw on Broadway. It can not be done. Talk about the Tent Showman’'s Protec- tive Association and they compla n about the one-nighter and the “stingerie’’ shows. Nine chances to 10 the show is just as good as any of the rep. managers’ put on and at the same time we pay as much for a lot for one day's use aS they pay for six days. Our advertising, trans- portation and the wear and tear on equipment costs just six times as much They class the one-nighter as a “gyp” show because we zet more money on the front door than the rep. show. We have just finished two weeks in Montana and the show made good money at 75 cents top and 25 cents reserves. Take the Same crowds at a 50-cent top and the books will prove that the show could not have lived. I had eight people sick at one time. Of course, a bad performance was given, but like true soldiers they all played their parts and got by. We are for the tent men and we are aware that something must be done, but you must have them all. We all have to play the game Did Equity make a distinction between actors? No, it admit- ted every person that would send dues. Some were bad, some good, while others were indifferent, but today Equity is a really strong organization. That's what the tent managers will have to do. They must admit tent shows of all kinds, even to the traveling movies, as they play the same towns and fight the same licenses. Actors do not work for nothing. We pay as much real money every week as the rep. manager and then some musicians have all trouped before and are with one-night shows because thes are paid aS much as thes uld get any place else. Working men are paid $lo a week and board and r Now whenever the bunch wan's to st together and stop the complaint the one-nighters I am with the for dollar and just m wi results. However, if t! rep. nm want to keep fight just s ng wil they have a split ors Bit pulling in different direction In North Dakot I operate under a State license and pay My license is for 1 ter. Still the mov men are working so hard that the attorney general has had so much pr: brought to bear on him that he has reversed his rulims and will not issue us a licen in the future. Montana has a law whereby a cit un collect a license fror ah exhibiting within three mil f the tv li its In Minnesota it is one mile from t l mits. It is funny that n can get drunk and go outside th: ty and the mars al cannot arrest hin The county fficer must do it. Still the san ity lect a license in a territory over has no control thority There are facts which no one hears of and they sure_ make it bad for a manager. (Si gnes qd) ” “Dp.

Y., June 235, reports that the program is above the average and moves fast, and that many of the acts received great applause, The show had an 8 o’clock arrival, a long haul, and a rain and wind storm at the afternoon opening. The Sparks Circus was there May 27 and the 101 Ranch Show June 30. Gerald Pitt, of Burnside, Ill., has sent a copy of The Nauvoo (Ill.) Independent, dated September 18, 1885, which carried an advertise ment of Colonel Giles’ Great World’s Fair, which showed there on the 23d. Some of the acts with that show were Harry Mack’s aoe circus, human leopard family, Don ne y’s performing lions, Leon and his talking donkeys, and war elephant, “Empress”.

The ‘quarters are uF idergoing some repair work under the supervision of Mr. Barlow, and when finished will consist of a large, high gymnasium, garage for two cars and stable for stock. Hornell, N. Y., on June 26, gave the Sells-Floto Circus a fine day’s business in spite of intermittent showers, says R. D. Cartwright, Fan No. 103. The show was highly praised. Harold MacIntyre, who trouped with the Floto Show in 1920, renewed acquaintances with “Poo- dles’” Hanneford. MacIntyre played first first base on the pall team and first clarinet under C. L. Brown, who had the band that vear. “Poodles”, “Slats” Bee- son and Alfreda Cadona also played on the kail team. When Bruce Chesterman, press repre- sentative of the Sparks Circus, was in Bangor, Me., he extended an invitation to Chief Nicholas of the Penobscot Tribe, of Indian Island, Me., to visit Chief Iron Shell and the Sioux tribesmen with the Sparks Circus when the show plays in Bangor July 5, and the Chief accepted. Chesterman wrote an interesting descrip- tion of Indian Island and its people which was published in The Bangor Daily Com- mercial of June 28 He is getting some nice publicity for the show. F. M. Welch, circus fan of Sti llwater, Minn., visited the Vanderburg Bros.’ shows at Withrow, Minn., J ine 21, and Was accorded every courtesy by Manager Frank Hall. The show travels on seven trucks, with one in advance, and has a very nice lineup and a performance that gives entire satisfaction. Altho Withrow Was one of the smallest towns Manager Hall has played this season, all the seats were occupied amd some patrons were standing. Only one show was given. The concert feature was the Great Johnson, escape artiste. Milton K. Oakes visited the Sparks is at Waltham, Ma June 22, and reports that this excellent show played to light busine in the afternoon ane€ ca- pacity at night Both press and pubtie complimented the show very highly Oakes met many ef the showfolk, inc!nd n Charl ind Clifton Sparks, Eddie Jacksor Jake I" y and George Conners YY r of the kid how. Visitors ne Fdward Britt, Cy Greon fonn rn formerly with the Spark. Cireus; A. B. Christy, Mr. Keller and Roy Par- sons. John Forbes, who wrote He Who Gets Slapped, visited the show for a week.

McIntyre Circus until their fair season starts the middie of August at West Liberty, Ia, for the World Amusement Service Asso- ciation. They have played the big time and neighborhe.d hovses on the Keita- Albee Circuit in New York and followin their fair season will again play the K.- A. Time. While in New York they had visits from the Five Mounters, inciuding Joe Eretto and wife, Manda; John Eretto and wife, Lillian, and Otto Eretto. They visited the Sp: rg Circus and met Walter Guice and wife, Naida Miller, Roy Bar- rett, the Riding Rooneys and Coreene. F. M. Welch, the Stillwater, Minn., circus fan, visited Robbins Bros.’ Circus at River Falls, Wis., June 28 and was cordially received by Owner Fred Buchanan and Press Agent F. Robert Saul, who extended every courtesy. Mr. Welch reports that he found the show in A-1 shape with an excellent performance, ete. He also renewed acquaintances with Kenneth Waite and Frank Shipman, of clown alley. Mr. Shipman is not a well man, but he is hard to replace in the character of Abraham Lincoln which he takes in the patriotic spectacle which closes the show, and therefore keeps “carrying on” Al Ruwedel writes that there is a won- derful ball park lot now available for circuses at Hazleton, Pa., and to Mr. Michel, of the John Robinson Circus, goes the credit of being the first of the larger ones in, as he has contracted for July 19, en route from Carbondale to Mahanoy City. Many of the shows are making a second trip thru the coal regions, which proves there is still plenty of money in that territory. Ruwedel has seen a num. ber of shows this season, including the 101 Ranch Show at both Pottsville and Wilkes-Barre, Pa., which he says is worthy of a sellout at every performance. He adds: “If contracting agents who care to make this city run into any un- foreseen obstacles, give me a call at 650 Grant street and I'll be pleased to extend a helping hand.” Three ball games have been played be- tween the band boys and the dressing room bunch of the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus, the dressing-room boys winning two. The first game resulted, 7 runs for the band and 6 for the dr.; second game, 7 for d.r. and 6 for band; third game, 7 for d. r, and 2 for band, the Indian pitcher of the dressing-room team shutting out the band team for five innings.

Westlake Park A Coming Resort St. Louis, July 2.—Westlake Amuse- ment Park, located on the St. Charl and Natural Bridge roads out in St. Louis county, about 12 miles from the heart of the city of St. Louis, but fed by street ars and busses from this and other near-by cities, has been having a pretty good season since the opening. all things considered. Veather in these parts has been none too good until the past few weeks, but it looks now like the warm spell will continue. The park has been having school picnics from the open ing date continuously every day until June 15; for the balance of the season there are many big picnics from factories and commercial houses scheduled to be held at the park. Westlake has 63% acres, according to Bob Haffercamp present manager, who was connected with Forest Park Highlands for 30 years. Last year all the park consisted of was a dance hall, swimming pool and a “Thunderbolt” roller coaster, but this year it has been turned into a real park with many new rides and other features. It is one of the coming parks of this section. Among the attractions in the park are Fred Pearce’s roller coaster; an airplan swing; Hainey’s tumble bug; a merry- go-round, old mill, fun house and skee- bal! alleys, operated and owned by A. Merello and associates ; Guyton & De Hater’s scooter; Harrison Raley’s minia- ture railway and Custer’ cars, and Yamamota’s Ferris wheel. The boats on the lake in the park are operated by J. L. Motion, the swimming pool by a chap nunicd Mocris and the dance hall by Frank Kirtin. Ted Jansen’s Band furnishes the music for the dancers. The swimming frocl is a double one, one filling up ieee the other is being emptie a to be refilieG with fresh, clean wate-. There are refreshnent stands and soft- drink booths thiucut the park, besides about eight cecncessions giving out merchandise of various sorts. There is also a gh strixer. Victor Massa is president of the West- lake Amusement Company which voper- ates the park, and Jos. Botto is sec- retary and treasurer. When visited by the local Billboard representative there was but a small crowd in the park, but it Was carly in the evening ane cars were conutinucusiy entering the parkirg field Which is large enongh to accommodate 5,000 cars. The park gets a very good play on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays and days on which there are picnics, it is understood, with just a fair amount of patronage during the week. This is an exceptionally strong picnic territory and it is very easy for any amusement park to line up enough picnic to tide it over the off da. Haffercamp predicts that within the next few years Westlake will come right to the front as an amusement park because of its location on two good automobile roads and the natural beauty of the surrounding territory. Work Started on Beach Pier Miami, Fla., July 2.—Piling for the foundation of the $1,000,000 ocean amusement pier at South Miami Breach was completed last week and was marked by special ceremonies. The flag was raised and officers of the Miami Beach Pier Corporation addressed the specta- tors. This marked the end of five months of intensive work by the Fred- erick H. Snare Corporation, New York, contractors. Caissons, four feet in diameter, were sunk in the sands off shore and then anchored to hed rock. Work will be started soon on the super- structure. When completed early this fall the pier will contain a theater, ball- room, sea-food restaurant and cabaret, and 82 concessions or stores, Colored Resort Planned Near Salt Lake City Salt Lake City, Utah, July 3.—Utah and the surrounding States are to have a resort for the colored people on the shores of the Great Salt Lake near Sal- tair, it is announced. Work is now under the direction of a colored organization and an excursion to the lake is planned An outing of the colored folks will he featured on the site selected on Inde- pendence Day. A pavilion will be erected, it is announced.

HUFFMAN, better known as Huff, the Fair Guide man, of Camden, O., was a caller at the offices of The Billboard last week and had a chat with the editor of the fair department. Huff's season is just starting in earnest and he'll be busy until cold weather—in fact, Huff's always busy; just comfortably so —not rushed. He's learned the secret of mastering his job inctead of letting the job be a tyrant. Considerable interest is being shown in plans for the district fair to be held at Freedom, Okla., next fall.

66 The Billboard, July 10, 1926 Mm ARNIVAE § Mich. Greater Shows Lose in Grand Rapids Misrepresentation by Promoter Costs Carni- val $1,500 Besides One Weck’s Work The Michigan Greater Shows, under the management of R. T. Wade and O A. Baker, experienced the biggest bloomer in 12 years at Grand Rapids, Mich., last week. In q signed “ ement, acknowledged before John H. Wi Ju tice of the Peace, Paulding, O., offi al of the organization set forth the fa to show that the date, which was pro- moted by a D. Perry of Grand Rapids in cel ation of the Polsh National Singers’ Fiesta, cost the carnival $1,500 in addition to a week’s work, and - blame is laid to the promoter, who, is claimed, misrepresented the situ: ation. According to the show's. statement, drawn up by H. C. Andrews, secretary, and signed by O. A. Baker, the lot was to be located within seven or eight blocks of the heart of the city, but upon arrival it was found that the _ location was outside the city and about three miles from the business district. It is further claimed that the celebration was to have been advertised in ‘all the Polish churches, but that only ore churs had been notified, and hi i Was to have been provided for the s Ww but that on the gran night the show was closed because no permit had been issued. In additi« n to this, the promoter is charged with g solicited $150 worth of adverti Rear fo r banners, which Were never placed on the lot. From all ap pe arances the c:‘ty of Grand tapids does not want any more carn. vals, Mr. Baker ind a cautions agents ! s, iZ be « reful in doing business with un- kn n promoters from that community. The Michigan Greater Shows played the remainder of last week in Paulding, ©., where business was fair. This week the show is at Defi . O., which has ? nival for some t ind therefore to give this show a chance to ‘over part of its recent loss. The outf is carrying 3 rides, 40 concessions 5 shows. John T. Hutchens, who owns the shows, is featuring the African Danger Trail. He also has a splendid 10-in-l and a fine deep-sea show. George Larson Broadcasts First Punch nch and Judy Show The first bdondcasting of a complete Punch and Jufiy show in the history of radio was given by Prof. George Larsen, of the Car! Lauther side show on the Zeidman & P Shows, while the carni- val was playing Alt ‘oona, Pa., recently. Prof, Larsen d nstrated his abilities as q ventriloquist by presenting the en- tire performance without the use of the figures. He made an impression on th broadcasting studio audience. In Youngstown last week William J. Hilliar, press representative of the Z. & P. Shows, managed to have Mike and Ike, the popular midgets, featured for a matinee at the Liberty Theater, the big- gest film house in town John Francis Shows Open 23 Weeks of Celebrations Ok!ahoma City, Okla., July 2.—Thad W.

Wortham Shows Iron River, Mich., July 1.—The show is enjoying its first visit to the northern peninsula of Michigan, a land known provincially as ‘“‘cloverland”, which is an appropriate synonym. It is a land of clover with a community interest that is farreaching. It is said the greatest grape-vine telegraph system in use can be traced to this community. How it is done is not explainable. The shows playtng this peninsula must make good, turn back or tie up on a blind side track. The first stand in c‘overland was Es- canaba. The show was greeted by hundreds of peop’e when the outfit un- loaded Sunday. They estimated the size of the show and the news spread fast and furious. In Iron River this week busi- ness is good, and that tells the story. Advance agents far in advance: have learned more about shows from. the cloverlanders than they probably knew before. Contests for the laity are frequent among showfolks. Kitty Kelly’s Charles- ton steppers have staged their own con- test for their show. Frank Lentini’s Side Show is contesting the midway because Frank, a native son of Italy, is doing a rushing business because he is advertising in the native language to th Italians, who respond liberally. Ed Scheck is competing by putting his chim- panzee (Barney the second) in touch with the crowd with a hand-shaking party that will enable the patrons to solve the evolution theory. Chas. (Slim) Ibsen is in the running, also Betty Fay’s diving girls, who are putting on fire dives, high dives and promoting local talent among the crowd in tub races and swimming contests. Bert Hodge, the fat man, “sizes up” with local fat men, then he “desecrates” on the balance of the corpulent family, and the crowd buys and goes in. There is friendly combat all along the line. It is good business that ean be specialized on. Frank Kenyon and wife celebrated their 21st annivere sary on June 28. On the same day Mrs. Claude Bunch, daughter of Casey Jones, celebrated her 21st birthday. BEVERLY WHITE (for the Show). Snapp Bros.’ Shows Alton, IL, July 3.—This week finds the sae coma holding forth on the banks of the Mississippi River, an ideal location, right in the heart of the city. On ace count of showing at Wellston, Monday was lost. Everything opened with a bang Tuesday night and large crowds were in attendance, altho they seemed to be hanging on to the “long green’. Motor- boat races, public speaking, free attrac- tions and fireworks are bringing the oc ple down to the waterfront. Mr. Hull, of Kirksvil'e, Mo., has joined with his glider, bringing the rides up to five. John Morton, manager of the whip, has rearranged the lighting system and now has a beautifully illuminated attraction. Capt. Billy Geyer has added 25 feet to his rigging and electrifies the natives nightly with his sensational free attraction. He works from a height of 75 feet, uses no net, and is receiving wonderful notices from the press. His act is billed as a cloud swing and certainly lives up to its title. Mrs. Josephine Russell has com- pletely reorganized the minstrel show. W. Murray’s big Eli wheel has been im- proved with new lights. Mr. and Mrs, William R. Snapp motored to Danville. The next stand is Jerseyville. Special Agent Less Stevenson expects this to be a red one. DICK O'BRIEN (for the Show). S. B. Williams Shows Rich Hill, Mo., July 1.—The S. B. Wil- liams Shows opened in this city with good attendance up to the present, play- ing under the auspices of the American Legion, with a big time in prospect over the holidays. Free acts and concessions are coming in daily. Manager Williams has been on the show and his health is showing a marked improvement. Billy is piloting the show and has landed some good contracts for fairs and celebrations. Bill Starr’s minstrel show is taking top money, with 12 people; this uttraction is a knockout. Manager Mat- thews’ 10-in-1 show is a close second, and his free act draws well. Billie Dix on’s Hawaiian show with three comely dancers is getting the business. Dutch Heffner’s athletic show with three wres- tlers and two boxers is all that could be desired. ‘The three rides are in tip-top condition and doing good, including mer- ry-go-round, Bert Williams, manager, with Bamm at clutch; Ferris wheel, Chas, yessner, manager, and Hutchinson and Smith, assistants; merry mix-up, Slim Bryan and Joe Callis, managers, and Eva Smith, tickets.
