Faversham was handed a let- ter last Saturday night, following the close of the performance, to the effect that his contract had been annulled, co- incidental with the announcement that Neeley Dickson's contract as director of the Passion Play had also been terminated, Miss Dickson having received notice two days earlier than Faversham.

The total membership at the end of June was 7 the 2.097, an increase of 688 for the year, during which there have been 11 deaths. The council is perturbed over the unpunctuality with which subscriptions are paid, and points out that each member costs the guild over $1 a year in actual cash outlay, so that the nonpayment of subscriptions cripples the guild financially. The Guild Supper Party and the Costume Ball are stated to have been highly successful financially. A Stage Guild Bulletin, to be run by the Grand Council, will, it is hoped, be of use to members. It is announced that several minor disputes have been settled without = arbitration, and that seven formal decisions have been given by the arbitration tribunal.

Miss Kingston told her hearers that her report on the Stage Guild and the work of the guild was well received by the conference. She had pointed out that owing to the lack of municipal and State interest in and subsidy of the theater in England, an at- tack on capital might mean an attack on the theater and actor. She cordially approved the superior discipline which the continental organizations exercised over their members and the greater loy- alty of the latter to their federations.

In the course of an interview with Faversham, the noted actor charged that the management of the Pilgrimage Play had engaged him for the role of Christus to gain nation-wide publicity, and that after this had been accomplished it planned to _ dismiss him, substituting someone whose services it could pro- cure at a much lower salary. Faversham defended his acting by stating that his idea of Christ was that of a strong, virile man.

This ruling, in pursuance of a_ regulation made at the request of British musicians, has been upheld by yesterday's notifica- tion.

Louis Willi Hear “Carmen” in English ST. LOUIS, July 26.—Guy Golterman, New York opera impresario and attorney, is co-operating with the Grand Opera Association of this city in the formula- tion of plans for the presentation of Bizet’s opera, Carmen, in English for one week beginning August 23 at the Munic- ipal Theater. So enthusiastic has been the response of civic officials and or- ganizations to the idea, that present in- dications point to a possible extension of the company’s engagement for one week more. Mayor Victor J. Miller has given his unqualified indorsement to the project, and has accepted the honorary chairman- ship of the brief season as a means of making public his position. All boxes for the opening night will be taken by the board of governors of the Grand Opera Association. Various other or- ganizations and clubs of the city have already made arrangements to attend en masse on specified nights. Golterman, who was also in charge of the first open-air opera in 1917 at the Forest Park al fresco auditoripm, has been devoting the past several weeks to the casting and production details from his New York office. While the names of the principals in the cast have not yet been made public, Golterman has_in- dicated that there will be a double cast composed of leading singers and musi- cians recruited from the Metropolitan and Chicago Opera companies. Even the technical and orchestral staff of the al fresco production will be composed of ex- perts from these nationally eminent com- panies, Golterman’s debut in St. Louis open- air opera circles in 1917 was marked by a week’s engagement of Aida. In 1924 Golterman was again the sponsor of a week's engagement of opera, with the production of Carmen in Spanish. His last local contact was in 1925, when three operas were given under his direction in a single week. =| BILLY STOUT, accomplished in- genue, singer and dancer, who‘ has ap- peared in both vaudeville and musical comedy, and recently was selected by Carter DeHaven for his mew produc- tion at the Music Box, Hollywood, Calif.

Frequent clos- ing notices were as regularly canceled, and finally If I Was Rich got a chance it the Cort, where most everybody is supposed to drop in. It is a good little comedy, and will doubtless make the summer grade until A Poor Nut seeks hospice at the Cort.

10 The Billboard, July 3 1 1926 Conducted by M. H. SHAPIRO Independent Field Healthier Than Ever Before in History Ascribed to Ability To Remain Open During Summer, Making Good Money---Coming Season To Be Boomer---Markus Shows Increase in Business of 20 Per Cent NEW YORK, July 24.—The ecndition in history from the point of v bockers and observers, before. This partly and mostly is attri encountered this summer, enabling theate independent vaudeville houses are so far ahead due to packed theaters during the entire spring, all of June and one week in this month, that they can stand ter- rific losses until the fall season and still be ahead. This week and the week of July 5 are the o weeks on which the average theater in the independent field has had to dig into bank accounts to meet the overhead. It is anticipated that con- siderable hot weather will arrive during August, but that beginning Labor Day, when the new season officially opens, normal weather will prevail, sending the theaters off to a highly encouraging start, with more than the usual money surplus for vaudeville bills, experiments, improvements to houses, etc In independent circles it is expected many houses will increase the number of acts used, due to their extremely lucky “break” thiq summer. Many planned closing down in June, but finding them- selves well fortified on their ledgers have reconsidered this step and remained open all summer. With this much of the summer gone by, no houses are clos- ing expect in a few instances where man- agers, having made good money, are clos- ing shop for two or three weeks to renovate or alter their houses. This all adds to the making of a brighter in- dependent field for the coming season Confidence is expressed in vaudeville circles that better salaries will be paid this fall as a result of conditions, altho it is pointed,out, at the same time, that the past year has witnessed figures on contracts as high as many acts receive on the big time. In addition, a large number of artistes with “name”-drawing power have been played by the better- class theaters. A good barometer on present conditions is the fact that the business of the Fally Markus office, leading in the independent field, is about 20 per cent better than it was last year at this time. Markus states he is booking 40 vaudeville houses now, with two more coming in within a few weeks, and is also furnishing acts to three picture houses, He expressed the opinion there is no doubt business will begin increasing in two weeks, when the preliminaries for the fall season get under way. Accident Kessler in Taxi NEW YORK, July 24 Frank Kessler, who leads the orchestra n Elizabeth Brice’s vaudeville act, had a narrow es- cape from death last Sunday evening when a taxicab in which he was riding was struck by a bus and hurled into the subway excavation at &th avenue ind 55th street Fire department apparatus had to be called out to pry the taxi loose Dr. Vinie, of the Roosevelt Hospital, ren- dered first aid, then took Kessler to the hospital, where it was found he was suf- fering from lacerations and contusions and a fractured leg.

Most ew of Cool Spring Weather Increased Loew Profits NEW YORK, July 24.—The business during May, increase in result as a f th favorable weather, which lasted thru- out June, is reflected in the balance sheet of the Loew Circuit for the 12 weeks ending June 6, showing a net profit for this period of $1,643,719. This compares with $992,840 for the corresponding period in 1925. An idea of how fortunate the indoor amusement world was in getting the good weather break this spring and during June is evidenced by the fact that nearly twice as much money was made by Loew dur- ing this 12 weeks’ period than was made last year, the increase this year being $641,879, The outdoor show business, quently, made almost twice as much Jast spring and in June than was made this year owing to the unusually cool weather prevalent in the East. The gross profit for the 12 weeks end- ing June 6 is given in the Loew balance conse- sheet as $2,066,901, as compared to $1,284,600 for the same period last year. Depreciation and federal taxes for the three months this year were $432,182, while in 1925 the amount was $291,760.

Mitzi an Her Royal Dancers have an elaborately staged and finely costumed dancing revue. No similar act caught at Pantages in years has equaled in changes nd good taste the array of costumes car- ried. The solo, duo and ensemble num- ber were capably done. The opening castanet, solo jockey and a duo dance in lar rhinestone costumes were the fea- tures and were paid with extra bursts of ruse, « and Harper, man and woman, in fits of Wit, are just as snappy as when her everal months aro.

E. J. WOOD. | Last Half Reviews Pantages, Los Angeles (Reviewed Thursday Evening, July 22) Georges Carpentier, who, according to pre notices, has been engaged at a fab- ulous sum for one week's work, is head- lining over a fast bill here this week On the screen Acsop Fahle and The Fate of Flirt, feature photoplay. Uvenos Japs, six males, before a half dozen flashy Oriental settings, do some fast barrel spinning, hand-to-hand bal- ancing, contortionistic work, cartwheel- Ing, somersaulting and tumbling; their finish a crackerjack, with a few laughs thrown in to good effect. O'Donnell and McKenna, two men, oc- cupy the deuce spot. Theirs is a nut comedy offering and they were the re- cipients of many laughs thru their ron- tine of fun. They spiced thef® turn with everal songs and a specidlty dance by one ember of team The Russian Master Singers, a quartet of y le with powerful voices that blend tog er well, The harmony is splendid, the most impressive being The Volga Boatmen song. One thing in the offering heeds improvement, however—that is the Poor enunciation of the tenor, who, in his ends or to deliver his end of the har- mony, injects “aahs” in certain numbers and fails to pronounce other words prop- erly With a little effort on his part this could be eliminated, and the turn then would be smooth thruout. Juanita Labard is a clever and pliable danseuse an quitted herself well in her specialty dar Appropriate settings for the dif- ferent song numbers embellish the of- tring considerably. Dolly Kay entertained admirably with a inber of comedy songs, in which she Siows her prowess as a splendid “blues” — r, reminding one considerably of the = Tucker = style.

All told, the featured and high-priced attraction ran eight min- utes. FRANK B. JOERLING. Union Square Theater, San Francisco (Reviewed Friday Evening, July 23 A rattling good series of five acts which kept the customers busy applaud- ing, the Spanish Jazz Revue getting the popular vote as adjudged by applause. On the screen: Wives at Auction, featuring Edna Murphy and Gaston Glass; Pathe Newsreel and a comedy. Opening act, Charles and Mayme But- ters, the latter billed as “The Tallest Lady in the Land”. They make a good entrance, Mayme on Charlie's shoulders, with the latter concealed beneath the flowing costume Two songs. a clever line of small talk and an iron-jaw ex- hibition by the better half made a good opening. Mildred Millard proved her worth as an entertainer with well-put-over jokes and chatter, two songs, of which Then I'll Be Happy received a good hand, and a few dance steps to close. Spanish Jazz Revue, fous men and one woman. Three musicians pleased with a series of instrumental numbers, while a man and woman gave a good exhibition of clever footwork, the best being a tango. Spanish costuming lent the added color necessary. Wade and Hale, a comedy team, one of whom is a clever card manipulator, put over an interchange of fast repartee which took well with those out front. Scott and Casey, one playing a violin and the other a mandolin, fool the audi- ence by giving tuneful numbers, but when they lay aside their musical in- struments and get down to gymnastics there is not much doubt as to their real business. Their routine is both pleasing and clever. E. J. WOOD. Diversey, Chicago (Reviewed Thursday Matinee, July 22) Auror’ Trio opened the new bill on the last half. They are male cyclists and equilibrists. The act is exceptionally meritorius and was much liked. Hickey and Hart, man and girl, have a repertory of comedy songs and dances. The man has-some clever eccentric num- bers, and both figure strong on the dance section of their program. They enter- tain well. Paula George and University Sextet are a band with a girl singer and a girl dancer. It is a neat and compact or- ganization with a good routine and rapid of movement. The band plays well. The act is well dressed and can claim class and front. O'Neal Sisters are comedy harmony singers and are decidedly fetching and pretty in ingenue types, or call it sou- bret if you like They have a very good repertory of numbers that they put over as much thru personality as by vocal ability, and they have a style that should go well anywhere. Long Tack Sam and Company close. Chinese artistes are augmented by other performers on the bill. Magic and jug- gling with considerable comedy by the regular act and specialties by actors from other acts. It is a good number, full of color, fine Chinese costumes and a proper Oriental setting. FRED HOLLMAN. Moss’ Tilyou Theater, Coney Island, N. Y. (Reviewed Thursday Evening, July 22 The feature film, The Volaa Boatman, and a consistently good bill accounted for the house being sold out completely before the first act went on. Tho every act on the bill, strangely enough, was a “two act,” and tho there was plenty of singing, they all got over nicely Karl and Erna Gress present their se- ries of landscapes and animated oil paint- ings. The novelty of their offering, as usual, was much appreciated by the audi- ence Contrary to what one might ex- pect in the case of an act of this nature, it moves swiftly and isn’t once monoto- nous. The girl's dancing helps out con- siderably. Smith and Cantor sell their comedy songs and patter with consummate eas¢ The “hot” piano solo gets over great, and while dialog occasionally lags it shows occasional flashes of _ brillianev The boys have good voices and micht some- time see fit to sing a straight song or two, altho their parodies and ditties aren't at all bad. Nola and Winifred St. Claire scored with their comedy talk and songs de- spite the fact that they followed a not dissimilar turn. The comedienne works with much enthusiasm and is properly rewarded in the way of applause for her many bits of comedy business. + Her in- dividual way of laughing, slapping her partner and other of her mannerisms and antics garnered the laughs often and co- piously. The comic attire also helps. Her sister, who works straight for her, does a straight ballad that reveals a good voice, The comedienne’s prima donna The Billboard, July 31. 1926 efforts are burlesque that gets some more liughs. The undercurrent of hokum is old, but apart from the antiquity of the theme the offering is new in regard to lines, comedy and treatment. Mayo and Bobbe have a neat routine of dialog, comedy and singing. The talk every turn. The material is all fresh and doesn't suffer from old age. The straight song and the parodies receive their due share of applause, but it is Mayo’s sleep-walking song, in which he comes out attired in old-fashioned flan- nel nightshirt and nightcap, with a can- dle in his hand, that gets the biggest hand in the act. Amac, with the assistance of Velma, presents the Three-Card Monte illusion, and closes the show to a big hand which might have been even bigger if the patrons had recovered sooner from their bewilderment. The elusive lady has them all guessing, sometimes quite audibly. There is sufficient light comedy in the turn to enliven it. PAUL BENOV.

Collins and Peterson, two comedians who immediately preceded this act, do son wning during the offering. Tho they got a few laughs, it seemed to be of much of the and awe which the inspires.

The co- medienne also does some singing, an im- personation of a coloratura soprano try- ing to make the high Cs. This is also good for a number of laughs. Her at- tempt to sing a pathetic number, inter- rupted by the orchestra, which chose quite suddenly to play Charleston mu- sic, which induced her to dance, only to stop in ridiggfus positions when the music changéd, is the highlight of the act. Both close with a straight duet. Mardo and Wynn Reviewed Monday matinee, July 19, at Loew’s State Theater, New York, tule—Comedy, singing, dancing. Set- ting—In one. Time—Twelve minutes. The man in this mixed team, who was probably a member of Mardo and Rome, bears the burden of the routine in this turn and supplies most of the comedy. He plays a “wop” role and gets quite a number of laughs, despite the fact that he employs more than an occasional old gag. The girl makes a_ée satisfactory straight and embellishes the act con- siderably with her good looks and gorgeous gowns. The dialog opens with some talk about an automobile. The man has an original way about him which helps him sell even the old gags After the girl makes an abrupt exit for a change, the mag goes into some dance steps that are also good for several laughs. Then follows a letter bit, which, tho also old, gets over to a good hand. Both close singing and play- ing guitar and banjo. The man’s previous work on the harmonica is one of the high- lights of the act. P. Cc. R. Four Reviewed Monday matinee, July 19, at Loew's State Theater, New York. Style —Singing. Se tting—In one. Time— Twelve minutes. The four boys comprising this quartet are youthful personabl and neatly dressed, all in gray suits What sig- nificance there is in their unique billing is not quite clear, for certainly no act ever gave more of an intimation that it Was to be submarine act than the C. R. Four boys. The routine is a_ straight cycle of songs. There is not even a sea song that might constitute some flimsy pretext for the unusual billing The songs offered at this performance are all of the popular comedy type. The boys have fairly pleasing voices and put their numbers over capably enough There is an occasional attempt at slight comedy eftects during some of the vocal- izing. Some more comedy would not be amiss. The little amount of dancing there is, which accompanies one of the song numbers, is neither here nor there, but might be developed into a substantial part of the routine to break up the monotony of the straight song routine. There is not even a solo to break it up. One of the songs is put over in a more or less intimate style that helps some. The closing ditties revealed no new verses and too many of the very old ones. If the boys would only arrange their routine more wisely, they might fare much better Lillian Roth Reviewed Monday matinee, July 19. at B. S. Moss?’ Broadway Theater, New York. Style—Songs, talking and dancing. Setting—In one. Time—Twelve minutes, Miss Roth is a charming miss, possess- ing an ingratiating personality, but she has much to acquire in the line of show- manship. She has a routine of four much-used songs and offers them with a display of ability above the ordinary, but there is evident thruout her turn the lack of training in the art of putting over a single. This girl has the goods, but has not yet learned, jt seems, how to steer the buying market to her advantage. A fine wardrobe she has and she wears her frocks with unusual grace. Miss Roth essays vocal syncopation, but her style of talent is opposed to exhibitions of this sort. She, or her sponsors, prob- ably gave this evident fact an after- thought, for at the close of her syncopa- tion battery she drifted smoothly into a character song and accompanying reci- tation. The song is one of the ballads of the “My Pal Left Me” variety, and Miss Roth's presentation of this bit could hardly be improved upon. The emotional monolog that punctuates the offering is surefire and won a strong hand for her when reviewed In an encore Miss Roth appeared, for no logical reason, in an abbreviated ballet costume, and gave another of her stock of syncopated songs She bowed herself out with a very brief exhibition of the Charleston. In her song delivery Miss aided considerably by her and it is certain that she strongly on the time she is playing if every once in a while she would show the folks in the audience that she does not think the world hangs on the suc- cess of her act A major operation on her song battery and slight changes and additions to her comedy business will re- ward this miss with the splendid single. Roth is pulchritude, will show up possession of a E. E. S 1926 17 Booth and Nina Reviewed Mondayw matinee. Julu 1%. at B. S. Moss’ Broadway Theater.

As a windup to the turn Booth hop on a bicycle and rides it parallel to lowest step of a scaffold about 18 in height By jerking himself up .he holds the Booth raises himself step by step to the um mit of the scaffold All the while he i perfectly balanced on the two-wheel bicycle, both feet firmly on the pedals. He remains poised on the uppermost step, which is a bit wider than the lower ones, and lift himself again, falling neatly to a platform about 10 feet from the floor on the other side of the seaf- fold. From this point he lands finally into a net raised slightly above the floor. E. E. S. Vee and Tully Revitwed Monday matinee , July 19%, at B. S. Moss’ Broadway Theater. Neu York. Styule—Balancing and acrohatic novelty. Setting—In_ two. Time—Fight minutes. The sole claim of this act toe inelusion in the realm of the novel is the capable work of the woman as an understander. In all the stunts performed by the mixed team the woman shows commendable strength and endurance somewhat heavy partner. The man opens with a mandolin novelty, throws the in- strument aside and exeeutes a series of mediocre floor-balancing stunts. Thruout the turn he attempts comedy business by diverting himself from the tasks in hand to play snatches on the mandolin The chief stunt is the balancing of the man, head to head, on the woman, while he plays a short piece on the instrument. The first series of stunts received a poor in supporting her hand at this performance, but more en- thusiasm was shown when the woman began her work as an understander. The balancing and_ instrument-playing bit brought the turn to a fair finish. This act might go better if the so- called comedy business were entirely omitted and more balancing stunts in- serted in its place. E. E. S.

Many of them will let it go at that and pass on to the next victim. Others will lay bare all its glar- ng faults and also pass on. A few may ise to wonder. By intelligentsia standards The Blonde Sinner cannot be classed among theatri- al fare worthy of consideration, at least at the time of its opening (for we must not forget Abie). By those standards, th t is trash of the summer sort that should, according to rules, fail miserably. But will it? The speculation is interest- ing. Possibly it will fade immediately from view—and yet it is just the sort of thing tt at might run for weeks, not thru the grace of Thespis but maybe thru the grace of Leblang and his public of Vague taste, There are many points of interest be- sides whether or not the play may have degrees of appeal to the bargain buyer despite rules, First, the piece seems an unsophisticated work. It calls for nothing. It ins nothing. It just blurts out with- it finesse. Quickly you would say, a h p road show; and yet the The Te production is not cheap is a regular Broad- Way cast, players known to varying ex- tent. The setting, with its arches, cost real money. The costuming § includes some of the loveliest gowns seen this season. Hugo Frey's Troubadours, in the pit, is one of the best of Victor recording orchestras The play might have been designed for anything from its present form of offering to a burlesque wheel or tent route. It may cover them all eventu- Then, second, there is De Costa, author, composer, lyric writer and producer un- der the hiding of Musicomedies, Inc. Is Itt any wonder the piece, tho it may con- tain the elements, misses the standards? But De Costa deserves attention. He has shown a stiff upper Hip. Last summer he performed a series of similar services for his Kosher Kitty Kelly. It was a similar hodgepodge. The critics “panned” it The summer heat hit at it. Legal suits des ied upon it. Almost everything seemed to go wrong, but it had a nice York and then came the road. audiences are still paying to See it and are to have it with them indefinitely thru a burlesque franchise for the coming season. There was some- thing in it, tho it could not be explained. The Blonde Sinner has something in it, and it just as hard to explain because of its hack trimming, so the reviewers Will pr bably take the easy way and turn their thumbs down. De Costa turns out tunes here and in his short score that the subway ‘rowds take home with them. What could he do if he did not have to bother with t ther departments of constructing a how? He has ideas in his play, too. Pe y they are poorly and adolescently *xpressed because he has had to compose th isic and because he has had to Write the rhythms and dig up the money and ist and do a million other things \ll this brings us to the realization that Derhay he loses his perspe ctive. he Blonde Sinner is a little comedy, a Ntle farce, a little burlesque, alittle dar a little singing and a great deal of nond script.

Again, repeated, the performance may find average Pleased At any rate, it is not to strictly eatalog the plaver igh to say that Enid Markey is tilly fascinating as the blonde sin- number one, is generally adept at ‘ne the overinnocent newlywed and The Billboard, July 31 THE NEW PLAYS ON BROADWAY is truly delightful in the climax scene of the play. R uth Stevens is unfortunate in her lack of grace, but reads the lines of the second “blonde sinner well enough. as still a third blonde, upholds her reputation and many of the scenes with her experienced technique (tho it occasionally shows sign of vaude- ville wear) and her charm of culture and manner. A fourth blonde, in the stocky person of Marge’ Lane, contributes well enough with her only requirement, a Charleston. These fair-haired ladies, tossed thru farcical situations, love and Marjorie Gateson, jealousy bouts, songs,, dances, mystery scenes and whatnot, receive support of varying fashion from a number of dark- haired gentlemen, and all get in and out of the entanglements in the living room and rented-out-to-cuests bedrooms of a summer cottag that is a bit too eX- pensive for newlyweds. The groom is amusingly handled by Ralph Bunker, while Clif Heckinger gets some laughs as the grotesque partner of the second blonde. Matt Hanley fits nicely into the role of a detective. It is the usual stagy character, but Hanley does not overdo it while getting lots of comedy out of his interpretation. Howard St. John is agreeable and strong - a man about town, and Fr ank Kingdon is sufficiently indignant as the - fiord of the house which his tenant puts to so many strange uses Harold De Becker if he appear at all, passed briefly in the often darkened room of mystery and so cannot be counted. As for the ecasional singing and dancing, the less said the better. It is a dramatic group, and if they smack of the amateur in the musical moments they cannot be blamed. One number, Don't You Cheat, has the strongest pos- sibilities of becoming popular. It may outlive the play by many moons and again the play may fool the professors and be still running after the song has long since been whistled to death. GORDON M. LELAND. SAM H.

Van Cott loves Joan, who does not return his affection, and in the intervening eight months betweeen the first and second acts Joan enters into a common-law marriage with Van Cott on the condition that he obtain the parole of her hus- band as quickly as possible. All this happens off stage, which is bad _ busi- ness, because the audience at first doesn’t know why the pair are living together on Madison avenue. Joan learns that her husband’s release has been post- poned indefinitely and decides to leave the house. Van Cott prevents this with the aid of his Japanese butler Amory escapes from Sing Sing, the lights are turned off, two shots are fired and Van Cott is killed. Of course it was the Jap. who did it, and his reason was that he loved the girl and didn’t like his master. The whole thing is rather loosely con- structed, and, in view of the way the wife treats Van Cott thruout the play, it is hard to belive that he would put up with it, let alone live with her Carroll McComas, remembered for her delightful work in Miss Lulu Bett, plays the rather difficult role of Joan Amory for all it is worth. She must be coy and sweet, a wife and a mistress, a co- medienne and an emotional actress. All of which she does well, especially the lighter scenes. The suave Martin Van Cott receives an excellent performance by Charles Waldron, who is more sincere when engaging in repartee with Joan than when browbeating her in the last act. Waldron is at all times the “typical clubman”. Roy Gordon is a bit too stiff as the erring husband, altho it's partly due to the script, which causes Miss Me- Comas to divine his every thought. It is hard to be natural against such odds. The nonchalant juvenile of Guy Milham is worth watching, because he is far more real than most newspaper stage reporters. Harry D. Southard is too Occidental in manner and speech to properly imper- sonate a Japanese servant. A real Jap. should be engaged or else the part ought to be rewritten for an American. Carl- ton Brickert is a sincere police inspector who conducts the investigation, altho his language in the third degree scene could be toned down. Madeline Grey and Donald Campbell appear briefly as rela- tions of Joan and are quite satisfactory The cast is completed by two policemen, impersonated by Robert W. Lawrence and James Barrett. The way these parts are written and played brings no credit to New York’s splendid police force Priestly Morrison directed the produc- tion, and it can be said that he keeps his characters standing too much. No credit is given in the program for the scenery, which is just as well It’s terrible pecially the stuffy, mid-Victoriar apart ment set, done in a hideous red rhe George M.

at ee ee i, Director's Way of Rehearsing Helps Production of ‘‘Silence”’ SAN DIEGO, Calif., July 24.—Now it n be told! Dp tor Eddy Lawrence of the Savoy Pla s, at the Savoy Theater here, used , brand new method in rehearsing ce, the current week's attraction. It not until the last rehearsal that Mr. Lawrence revealed to the members of the ny how the piece would end. after day the personnel had re- hearsed the prolog and two acts of the play. Day after day the climax of a sreat human situation had been devel- oped, a genuine heart-moving chapter in the lives of two men and a girl—the one a crook and her father, the other the wner of a newspaper and her adopted father. The the members of company wondered— even asked how it would end, but director remained silent and puffed nzly on his cigaret. “If I tell you the end of the story now”, he said, “you will by your acting, even unconsciously point your gestures and intonations in a way to reveal the final outcome.” Thus it happend that no member of the cast had an ne of how Silence would end, and, strangely enough, no one guesst d at the ending as revealed at the final rehearsal. Evidently the psychology of Mr. Lawrence's silence in regard to the end- ing had a good effect on the cast, for, ac ording to reports, patrons and critics like praised the offering as one of the best ever presented by the organization.

The play company also states that many fine reports are being received from the com- panies using SHERMAN L. JONES’ plays. Why don't some of the Kansas tent shows try to get WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE interested in their causa by having him visit one of the outfits?

LYCEUM and CHAUTAUQUA Conducted by ROBERT FE. MOORE Communications to 25 Opera Place, Cincinnati, O. In the Croatian Orchestra the Redpath- Horner Chautauqua Bureau is presenting the biggest thing of its kind that is going over the five-day circuit this season. The orchestra is not only composed of good musicians, but with the experience gained from appearing on the leading artist courses in the East and its chautauqua travels the orchestra is able to give both a popular and artistic program. The members of the orchestra are dressed in wative costume. According to reports, some excellent notices have been received. The year 1926 will mark the 15th anniversary of chautauqua in Essex, Ia., with the biggest and best programs that have been booked for years. The ses- sions will be conducted from July 28 to August 4, The opening date of the chautauqua in Oregon, Mo., is now definitely announced for July 28. The sessions will be con- ducted for six days, with a change of program each afternoon and evening The Brown and White System will fur- nish the attractions. Two of the week's 27 most attractive numbers are announced for the first day. In the afternoon ADA ROACH, impersonator and comedienne wil] be assisted by MARTHA TRIPEER soprano and accompanist On the open ing night the comedy-drama, Two Blocks Away, will be presented. The musical program is of a high order and of great variety. An outstanding attraction is the Minneapolis Symphony Players, com- posed of HENRY J. WILLIAMS, solo harpist; JAMES MESSEAS, solo cellist, and MAURITZ KESNAR, violinist. mem- bers of the Minneapolis Symphony Or- echestra. An eight-piece orchestra, the Capitol Serenaders, will play choice selections from standard mus the Tangerine Company of 10 men will give vocal selections. JESS PUGH, called the “fun specialist’, will be heard the third night of the sessions Others on th program include dramatic reader; FRANCIS, Dr. THERESA GEORGE GEORGE SHEEHAN, EMERSON HENRY BRAD- FORD and A. L. FLUDE, lecturers. In addition to Two Blocks Away Seventh Heaven and Tangerine will be presented. Besides selling $200 worth of tickets above the 750-ticket Redpath Chautauqua Bureau guarantee for 1926 CHARLES B. THOMAS, chairman of the guarantors at Clifton Springs, N. Y., turned over to Superintendent r HARDY PATTEN, of Washington, the guarantee for 1927. This contained 130 pr rs and was presented before the week's entertainment was over. Patten said he never knew of a case before where the chautauqua left a town with the contract for the next year already made. The Portland (Ore.) Oregonian re- cently published the following: ‘The broad significance of chautauqua, which Mrs. Eva Emery Dye has reminded readers of The Oregonian made its first appearance in the West in one of the pleasing suburbs of l’urtland, lies in its universal acceptance by t! people. The idea has grown amazngly in the 52 years since Bishop Vincent and Lewis Miller first conceived the need of adult Bible study and special training for Sunday-school teachers. The fact that the name, first derived from a place, has become a common noun and now stand for an attitude toward education qu te as much as not without a particular its own special institution is Signiticance The millions who now understand that formal schooling does not mark tlie end of the acquisition of knowledge owe more than most of them realize to the modest beginning made on the shores of a New York lake in 1874. It does no vio'ence to history to assume that the entire movement for adult education has been intensely stimulated thereby. if it did not indeed originate from a source com mon to both. So, too, it is possible to trace much that is inspiring to the first chautauqua assembly ever held on the Pacific Coast, which opened at Gladstone Park in 1894. In the half century since the pioneer gathering at Fairport and the third of a century since the initia] meet- ing at Gladstone there has been nearly a complete reversal of antiquated notions Vacation time nowadays is not given chiefly to idleness and diversion. Sum mer schools and correspondence courses, organized to meet the needs of adults, have a definite meaning. Systematic and purposeful reading, which the chautauqua was perhaps first to foster, has done two things—turned leisure to account and helped to make better citizens. The system has tended, in the words of Bishop Vincent, ‘at once to excite the imagination and set the heart aglow. A school is not necessarily a thing of wood or stone. ‘A college,’ said the same inspired leader, ‘is possible in everyday life if one chooses to use it; a college in house, shop, street, market, for ricl and poor, the curriculum of which run thru all of life, a college w h train men and women everywhere to read and to think and to talk and to do.” The Cottrell-Warner Post of the American Legion and the Shrine Club, of Webster, N. ©. . will bring the Radcliffe Chautauqua there August 28, 29 and 30 RALPH WITMER and HIRAM BILL- INGS are the committee in charge. The Re dpath Chautauqua sa! of tickets at Canandaigua, N. Y.. went ove the top this year despite earlier wort of the committee and the 1927 producto is assured, 400 season tickets having be: signed and 60 guarantors obtained J Drinkwater’s Abraham Lincoln hy 1 to boost the attendance al! along t cil cuit, and helped the sale for next year ee The summer chautauqua planned by Matthew Leary Post, American Legion, at Caledonia, N. Y., has had to be called off on account of the conflict in date with the Tri-County Fair and in- ability to book Radcliffe or Redpath talent at this time. @eno ust oom REQUIREMENTS FOR oo ATs BROOKES ii Wik at — ec gral cae RO at ag one on agers gaat Spy tm the = gouge) bes geal» ingar - Senevernnseps seep tap ioe eg eges - Ee fe me Se lc ee. — ee ee nee — _ ee —-—__35 || Se ee eee | —_—_ |__| et ees ee —— | | 1 CTT Ss : | — Fa Ff | rn | a || FT

28 The Billboard, July 31 Another Junior Contest At Missouri State Fair ain the Missouri State Fair will ae Junior Musicians’ Contest as one of the most important events at the annual fair which this year will be held August 14 to 21 at Sedalia, Mo. ; The contest is sponsored by the Mis- souri Federation of poe — bane Dh be given and directed under the manage- ment of the Missouri State Fair. A total offering of $180 in cash prizes, with many additional special prizes in the form of pins and ribbons, is allowed in the con- test. Classes are arranged for piano, violin, voice and musicianship, with four open in the piano section, four in the violin section, four in the voice section and three in musicianship. The maximum age of contestants must not exceed 16 years, ac- cording to the regulations of the de- ment. wo student within the age limit de- siring to compete in the contest 1s al- lowed to enter, but is required to make a grade of at least 85 per cent before any prize will be awarded. All playing and singing will be by memory and no re- peats allowed, except such as effect the structure of the music. Contestants will be required to give two selections, one selected by the superintendent of the de- partment and the other left to the option of the contestant.. While the total prize offering is somewhat low, officials feel assured of a wide entry list, owing to the fact that the young musicians of the State are all in one way or another con- nected with the Federation of Music Clubs. Judging of numbers will be started Tuesday, August 17, and com- pleted Wednesday, August 18. The first day will be giv-n over to the trials in piano, voice and musicianship. The second day, contestants in the violin section will be judged exclusively. Mrs. Harvey Mac- Gugin, of Sedalia, whose pride in music -is exceeded only by her ability, is superin- tendent of the department and will re- ceive all entries therein. Entries in the department close August 5. The Junior Musicians’ Contest was first introduced as a feature of the Missouri State Fair in 1924 and met with such enthusiastic support that it was repeated again last year. In this, the third year, indications are that it will be even a greater success than in these other years, “Lohengrin” and ‘Traviata’ Chosen for This Week Tsaac Van Grove is presenting Lohen- grin and La Traviata as the operas for the week of July 25 in the summer sea- son by the Cincinnati Zoo Opera Com- pany. Cincinnatians are demonstrating their appreciation of the fine productions being offered under the direction of Mr. Van Grove by attending the operas in large numbers. Trene Pavloska met with enthusiastic approval in the name part of Carm'en when that opera was pre- sented a week ago. Howard Preston is another member of the company who is well liked, and others who have met with high favor are Vera Curtis, Forest La- Mont and Fred Patton. eJester in 1926 Several Soloists Announced For Cin’ti Music Festival Announcement is made of the names of several soloists engaged by Frank van der Stucken for the Music Festival to be given under his direction in Cincinnati next season. Fred Patton, baritone, will sing solo parts in Bach’s Aeolus Ap- peased ; the part of Boris is the prolog of Boris Godunoff, also the part of the Rimsky-Korsakoff’'s Sadko. Nevada Van der Veer will sing the lead- ing contralto roles in the various com- positions to be presented during the Fes- tival. Richard Crooks, tenor, will sing the leading roles in the excerpts from Fidelio and Beethoven’s Missa Solem- nis and Respighi’s Primavera. Marie Sundelius, soprano, will be heard in lead- ing roles in Prince Igor, Sadko and in Pierne’s St. Francis of AS8sisi, All of these artists are under the exclusive management of Haensel & Jones who have booked them for extensive tours in 1926-'27. Victor Directing Band At Paragon Park James Victor and His Famous Concert Band are playing at Paragon Park, Nantasket Beach, Mass., and during the engagement the band, led by Mr. Victor and assisted by Gertrude J. Van Deinse, soprano, broadcasts from Station WNAC twice each week. Mr. Victor is, as has long been his custom, presenting pro- grams at the daily concerts of a variety which, while of a high standard, please alike those who desire the compositions of old and famous masters as well as the works of the writers of so-called popular music. A stanch friend of jazz, he has this to say about it: “Jazz music is here to stay. Of course, there isn't anything more beautiful than the fa- mous classics, but the American public, so far as the majority is concerned, does not want the classical and the operatic as a steady diet. In fact, I think it is safe to say that at least eight out of every 10 persons prefer the snappy, modern- day music that is many times wrong- fully termed jazz.” Omaha Increases Number Of Orchestral Concerts So great has been the interest in the concerts by t Omaha Symphony Or- chestra that the series has been increased from three to six concerts in 1926-'27 The success last season was in a great measure due to the able direction of Sandor Harmati, formerly known as a concert artist of much ability but who proved a most excellent director in his first year with the orchestra of Omaha. Mr. Harmati promises a series of con- certs next year which will afford sub- scribers opportunity to hear new as well as well-known orchestral compositions. The season opens on November 4 with Joseph Szigeti, violinist, as soloist, and other soloists will be Marguerite D’Al- varez, contralto, and Lee Pattison, pianist. RADIO.

This is one of the things house man- agers have been complaining about. The Sun office has put forth every effort pos- sible to try and stop this There is not near as much of it as there was some time ago, but there is still enough of it to have the house managers complaining. Another thing is to try and improve the quality of the show There are a num- ber of the show own: o realize that the show must b¢ i itely clean in every way. But there are still a few of them that insist on using material that should not be used in the family theater. We are going to try and eliminate that. Another thine, there are plenty of bills to be had, therefore every show should put on new bills the coming season. Now vou understand, of course, that this is ot really a meeting for the office We are simply calling a meeting of the show owners, as we know there are enough show owners who realize this fact, and we know that they will be able to con- vinee the ot! by getting them together. Another thing is speci§lties. They will have to have new specialties in order to keep the houses playing these shows. Another thing most of the house man- agers realize now, that in order for them to get a good show the show owner must make some money. But there are still a number of the house managers that think the cheaper they can get the shows the better. The straight percentage dates will be the ruination of these musical shows unless they are _ discontinued. The margin of profit for the show owner even on salary dates is small, and if he plays a percentage date and loses money it takes him four or five weeks of salary dates to get even. The result of it is he is going to cut down the quality in his show. He will let some of his higher- priced and better people go. This is where we are figuring and looking out for the house manager’s interest as well as the show owner. If the show owner makes money he is going, to have a bet- ter show. And when he has a better show the Sun office is surely working for the house manager's interest. The first argument a number of these managers will put up will be: ‘We can get New York productions on straight percentage why should we guarantee tabs.” The house that is doing enough business al- ways wants to play on salary, and those that are not doing so much business al- Ways want to play on percentage. In cutting cut these straight percentage dates the house manager gains more than anyone else. Another thing, show man- agers éo not know the towns manager ieee about do, but the show anager goes in a stranger; he does not know whether he is able to do $1,000 a week or $2,500 a week gross. Of course the The nouse what he can : house man- ager is not positive at all times, but he has a good idea about how much money he can get The Sun office has spent hundreds and Im py is of dollars trying to improve these shows in order that they would do a good business for the different houses that they are booked in The office has field men on the road con- tinually to look over the shows, and to encourage the show owners to improve, ete. Thru all the vears of watching the shows it has found that the straight percentage is what is kill- ing them, been date and causing some of the shows to be bad when they other@ise would be good. There is -no show owner that really wants to ha a bad show, but if percentage dates and Idses money he Drobabl vy owes some of his performers, and there is no chance for him to make a change to better his show. These are the things that are to be taken up at the show owners’ meet- ing July 29 and also the house man- agers and theater owners’ meeting, which consists of managers doing business with this office to be held at the Statler Hotel Tuesday, August 3, 10:30 a.m.” he plays a few Experienced Chorus Girls. not WANTED AT ONCE FOR MACKAY’S MERRY MAIDS BILLY ALLEN. eare eC. over five feet. four Best salaries and bonus paid Send photographs.

30 The Billboard. July 31 1926 Conducted by ALFRED NELSON—Communications to / BURLES } lesquers in general “Bezo” Snvder, from the Ce lumbia Cire of the Day, with Tommy “Bozo” Sr yder, on the Mutual Circuit for the seasons 1926-27 and 1927-28 The Billboard ha it from a reliz source that the Gerard announce was cause sufficient for a confidential representative of the Columbia Amuse- ment Company to pay an alleged visit to “Bozo” at his summer home in Mary- land. Subsequent to the C. A. C. representa- tive’s alleged visit, an ad, signed Tommy “Bozo” Snyder, was received by The Rillboard, setting forth that he was not gy on the Mutual Circuit but would stay with the Columbia Amusement Company, where he made his reputation and where he belonged To say that the ad caused discussion and debate would be putting it mildly, for burlesquers in general took sides as to the legal statys of Barney and t0z0" 4 visit to Sam A Scribner, president nager of the Columbia Amusement Company, elicited the in- formation that he had not had any tercourse with “Bozo”, but fully with “Bozo” in the public announcement that “Bozo’s” reputation as a comique “was made on the Columbia Circuit under the auspices of the Columbia Amusement Company, and that he could come back on the circuit and continue as long as / he continued to be an asset to the cir- cuit. A visit to Gerard’s office elicited the information that Barney was on his usual summer vacation to Maine, and in his absence Brother Louie was noncommit- tal as to what Zarney will say or do when advised by wire of “Bozo’s” public announcement, A visit to I. H. Herk, president and general manager of the Mutual Burlesque Association, elicited the information that he had been en tour in the West, return- ing to this city Thursday morning, and as yet hadn't time to get in ‘touch with Gerard on the matter of “Bozo’s” ad What the outcome will be is problem- atic, but on the face it appears as if it will lead up to litigation between “Bozo” and Barney on one hand, and Rarney and the Mutual on the other hand Battling Burlesquers Hearing that farney Gerard had sent a letter to Sam A. Scribner request- ing him to honor the Barney Gerard- “Bozo” Snvder contract by refusing to accept “Bozo” on the Columbia Circuit, we made a last minute call on Scribner to confirm the alleged’ letter, which he did by letting us peruse a copy of his reply to Gerard How we obtained the copy of Scribner’s letter to Barney for publication is a journalistic secret Suf- fice it to iy that we herein give it verbatim, viz.: “July 23, 1926 “Mr. Barney Gerard, “701 Seventh avenue, “New York City. “Dear Sir—I have your of July 22 iddre d to the Columbia Amusement Compan) regarding Tommy ("Bozo") Snvder 1 don't blame you for being npertur d t the prospect of losing your meal ticket and 1 don't hesitate to say that if there w: any man I depended pon for my living I would be perturbed, too t prospect of losing him “H ever, be that as it may, we have t in contracts between yourself a r performers Neither myself r the Columbia Amusement Company poing t y Bo ind I doen't know why vou call upon us to act as your guardian to notify owners, man- age! producers, actors, etc., away from your meal ticket. “I note thi will be pleased to produce at 3 for our inspection your contract with Bozo.

The Billboard, July 31 1926 31 Harry Winters’ 20th Year With New Empire, Toledo YORK, July 2!.—Ina_ recent carried an article in which we inadvertently referred to Bernard Lustig, the press representative of the Empire Theater, Toledo, O., as the the house, therefore we were not at all surprised on receiving a letter, viz. Dear Mr. Nelson: During my recent visit to 1 had the pleasure of meeting you in Sim Williams’ office. I was introduced to you as the publicity manager of the Hurtig & Seamon theater, the Empire in Toledo, and you were good enough to NEW issue we New make some notes for a squib in your valued publication. Upon my return to To ledo my attention was called to the article and imagine my amusement to find that I had suddenly been elevated to the managerial post. Undoubtedly you overlooked the word “publicity” in your notes and made me the manager instead of the publicity procurer, You must have known that Harry Winter was, is and unquestionably will be the manager as long as H. & 5S. have a house here. This is the start of Harry's 29th sea- son here, the longest in point of con- tinuous service of any manager on the Columbia Circuit as far as I am able to ascertain. : Now, Nelse, be a good T. P. R. and find some space in next week's Billyboy for the insertion of this letter. With every good wish and kindest per- sonal regards, I am Faithfully yours, (Signed) BERNARD LUSTIG. We herein offer our apology to our mutual friends, Messrs. Lustig and Win- ter, and promise to be more careful in the future.

32 The Billboard, July 31 1926 Go— | Contract Mess Nearing Crisis Right To Cancel Pictures Road Shown Is Suggested--- Plan Test NEW YORK, July 26.—A “balancing clause’’ which would give the theater owners a right to cancel pictures con- tracted for is planned as the next step of the Motion Picture Theater Owners of America in fighting the added clauses to the contract now in use, and particularly those clauses which give the distributor tne privilege of withholding pictuyes for road showing. Under this plan exhibitors will demand the right to cancel any pictures on their contract which the distributors may le- cide tc road show. The M. P. T. O. A. contends the distributors have a right to road-show their pictures, but not to road-show them after they have heen sold to the exhibitors. The “baianciag clause’ would help the theater owners in the maintenance of a price average on film service. The M. P. T. O. A. is desirous of ob- taining a ruling from the Film Board of Trade on the road-show clause and in order to obtain this may bring a test case. Refusal of a fair ruling will proba- bly result in instructions to members to deny arbitration on what will then »e considered as an “fllegal contract”’ Brooklyn Exhibitors To Fight Encroachment NEW YORK, July 24.—With Brooklyn the reported target of invasion by the mafor producer-distributing companies, some of which already have signified intentions of erecting huge houses in this thickly populated boro, the exhibitors on the other side of the East River are said to be lining up forces to prevent the building of new theaters in their ter- ritory. Thru the Theater Owners’ Chamber of Commerce, which has evolved an un- usually effective plan for the booking of pictures in its Film Service Corporation, combining play dates of independent theater owners, is powerful in Brooklyn, and according to report will lead the fight against extension of further hold- ings by the big film interests. The movement on the part of Brooklyn exhibitors follows a report that Publix is planning the erection of a 4,500-seat house at the corner of De Kalb and Flatbush avenues. This follows periodical reports that Famous Players was to build in the boro. Fox is also building a house in Brooklyn, at Nevins and Flat- bush, a block from the Mark Strand and Albee, while Universal last week an- nounced plans for a new house of its own in the Boro Park section. It is also re- ported that Warner Brothers are nego- tiating for a circuit of theaters in Brook- lyn. Stanley-W. & V. Deal Off Because of Price PHILADELPHIA, July 26.—The nego- tiations between the Stanley Company and the Wilmer & Vincent interests whereby the former would take over the W. & V. houses, has been dropped after inability to agree on the price, according to reports. It is understood the figure asked by Wilmer & Vincent, who are tied up with the Keith-Albee Circuit, was several hundred thousand dollars higher than Stanley would pay Stanley has leased Charles Segal’s Apollo Theater here for a long time, and has also closed a deal whereby he will e the Wynnefie'd, now under con- ion at 54th street and Arlington It will seat 1,400. Fred M. Shafer Joins Koppin Circuit Forces DETROIT, July 26.—Fred M. Shafer, who been managing director of the Lafayette Theater, Buffalo, Publix pres- entation house, for the past six years, and is president of the Buffalo Theater Managers’ Association, has been engaged in an executive capacity by Henry S. Koppin, operating the Koppin Circuit of theaters in this territory. Before be- oming identified with the Lafayette Shafer was with the Fox interests, and r to that with the Kunsky organiza- has Conducted by ROY CHARTIER N. Y. Schools To Use Films in Classrooms NEW YORK, July 26.—New York has been chosen as one of 10 experi- mental cities which in the next two years will attempt instruction in schools by motion pictures. In mak- ing this announcement Dr. Thomas E. Finegan, chairman of the committe« on visua! education of the National Education Association, declared the classes will be-limited to the fourth, fifth and sixth grades and junior high school. The experiments will be lim- ited to geography, health and hygiene, civics, fine and practical arts and general science. Communications $10 Top for Premiere Of Vitaphone Picture NEW YORK, July 26.—The first of the Vitaphone experiments of voice and music synchronization with pictures will open at the Warner Theater on Friday evening, August 6, in conjunction with John Barrymore's” superspecial, Dow Juan, Which begins an indefinite run. A great deal of interest centers around the first of the Vitaphone exhibitions, which it is said will make the best of vocal talent and music available to the smallest theaters in the country. Warner Broth- ers, who‘have developed Vitaphone and promise it will revolutionize stage presentations, announce the “appearance on the screen” with the Vitaphone syn- chronization of such world-famed stars as Giovanni Martinelli, Marion Talley and Anna Case of the Metropolitan Opera Company; Mischa Elman and Efrem Zimbalist, foremost violinists; Harold Bauer, noted pianist; the New York Philharmonic Orchestra with Henry Had- ley conducting, and the Metropolitan Opera House Chorus. Arrangement for the engagement of the Metropolitan ar- tists was made in a recent contract with the opera company. These artists will “appear screen’ while the Vitaphone reproduces the voices and music during the entire run of Don Juan, and will be available to all exhibitors thruout the country. The premiere of Don Juan and the Vitaphone will be the most auspicious on Broadway. Seats for the opening night will be $10 top, with war tax additional Prices following the opening night will range from $1 to $5, eclipsing all prior scales for special runs on Broadway or anywhere else. To Fight Bane of Daylight Saving LOS ANGELES, July 24.—Legislative action, the medium thru which the film business fights forces that injure the box- office, is planned in California for next year against daylight saving, and, follow- ing announcement of this step, is expected to be taken up in other States. Louis B. Mayer, of Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, has taken up the cudgels against daviizght saving, which he claims has piaved havoc with the motion picture in- dustry. Exhibitors thruout the country in cities where daylight saving is observed have frequently complained that it 1s harder on the box-office than mid-sum- mer heat, and protests have been heard in many quarters against starting day- light saving in April. F. B. O. Financing To Buy Chain of Theaters NEW YORK, July 24.—Joseph P. Ken- nedy, head of Film Booking Offices, was reported this week to be negotiating a financing proposition with Wall street bankers for the purpose of buying a string of theaters thruowt the country on the in which the F. B. O. product would be distributed. F. B. O. recently landed on Broadway with three pictures—two at the Warner and one at the Colony. Kempner Made Vice-Pres. Of Fox Theaters Corp. NEW YORK, July 26 —Alexander S. Kempner, who has been an active trader n New York real estate, has been ap- pointed vice-president of the Fox Thea- ters Corporation, of which William Fox is president. According + announce- ment, Kempner will continue his personal real-estate activities in addition to his duties with Fox Theaters. MOTION PICTURES and PRESENTATIONS to 1560 Broadway, New York Double Feature Ban Starts Fight NEW YORK, July 24.—Following the resolution adopted at the recent meeting of the Administrative Committee of the Mction Picture Theater Owners of Amer- ica against the efforts of distributors to abedish double-feature shows, members of the Canadian division of the M. P. T. O A. have officially charged the exchanges in Canada with direct interference in the operation of independent theaters, and have gone on record condemning the pro- posal of the distributors to insert clauses in the contract which would prevent th: booking of so-called double-feature pro- grams. A similar situation exists in Cleveland, where several of the producer-distributors agreed to abolish the booking of pictures for double-feature programs. The Canadian contingent of exhibitors demands the right to discuss the problem of double-feature shows’ thruout the Dominion and to present the matter to the Film Board of Trade for arbitration. Independent theater owners maintain the double-feature policy acts as their only ace card in combating the opposition from distributor-owned houses and cir- cuits which possess the buying power and have protection over them The M. P. O. A., anxious to go to the mat on the situation, is understood to be creating a special fund to assist exhibitor members in this new struggle against the interests. Roehm %& Richards Staging Publix Unit NEW YORK, July —Roehm & Richards, artistes’ representatives and managers, are added to the list of Publix producers with the opening Saturday at the Rivoli of their first picture house unit, Minstrel Memories, which they are staging. It has a large cast, headed by Fred Taylor, interlocutor, and including Pete Detzel, John King, J. R. Hill, Sonny Hines, George Heather, Lyric Quartet, Walter McPherson, Mark Defoe, Leslir Couillard, James Quinn, Allen Bennett, John Bennett, Drury Bennett, Frank McCormack, Thomas Reilly and Charles Dane. The unit will be the 26 first along min strel lines and the first show of a min- strel sort to play Broadway in many years. Arrangement with Roehm & Richards to stage this show for the Publix houses following .a similar arrangement with Ned Wayburn, who did Cupid's Holiday. now on tour, marks a step in the method of unit production for Publix that was not anticipated in presentation circles. Rather than hand out contracts to cer- tain producers, who would be under ex- clusive service to Publix, the organiza- tion has struck on the happy medium of shopping for its product, allowing various men in the show business to “show what they can do”. The arrangement with Wavburn was understood to be along these lines. Con- tract for further units was dependent upon the caliber of the show he staged and the success it made. A similar ar- rangement with Roehm & Richards on their initial effort is said to exist. New Fabian House To Play Presentations New York, July 26.—Work is progress- ing rapidly on the new Fabian Theater on Harrison avenue in select Fast Or- ange, N. J., a 1,500-seat house that will be in readiness for opening this fall, probably about October 1. A policy of presentations and pictures will be given, the former booked thru the Acme Book- ing Offices of the Stanley Company, which now has control of the Fabian Circuit. With the addition of the East Orange house Stanley will have four presentation theaters in New Jersey. The others are the Fabian, Paterson, and the Mosque and Branford in Newark. Niggemeier To Produce At McVicker’s, Chicago CHICAGO, July gemeier, widely ager, has been 22.—Charles known production man- selected to head a new production department at MeVicker’s Theater. Ralph Williams and His Jazz Jesters are the backbone of the enter- tainment end of the program. In the reorganization of the production depart- ment the management announces that every resource will be placed at the dis posal of Mr. Williams so that a show of sterling merit can be counted on regularly. Nig- Rembusch Booking : Progressing, Tho Slowly INDIANAPOLIS, July 26.—The na- tion-wide booking combine formed py Frank Rembusch, head of the Indiana unit of the Motion Picture Theater Owners of America, and known as the Associated Cinema Theaters, is pro- gressing very favorably, Rembusch re- ports, but slowly. Press of other ex. hibitor and M. P. T. O. A. matters ha prevented quicker development of th: booking plan. The primary advantage to be gained by the Rembusch plan will be the ability to obtain pictures thru a large number of play dates. In other words independent exhibitors will fight the distributor-owned houses and circuits by getting together and booking the product thru one source. Individual theater owners in Indiana and other States are sanguine of the results that will be obtained thru this method. Theater Owners Wage War on Free Show Evil NEW YORK, July 31.—Reports from various parts of the country where thé free-show evil is getting in its harm in- dicate that one of the biggest fights in the history of the film industry is about to begin. From Minneapolis comes an announcement that theater owners 1d circuits will “war to the finish” in a drive to stamp out the obnoxious com- petition from free film performantes parks and other places.

The gridiron tussl between Prescott and Tremont is the big punch in the picture, with young Hugh Carver, senior of Prescott, reclaiming himself on the field of football battle after several athletic disgraces, traceable chiefly to his predilections for the gay life collegiates now lead and his sue- umbing to the charm of vivacious Cynthia Day, coed. But with a severe injunction from his parents not to see them again until he makes good, he parts with the capricious Cynthia and steels himself to his studies and athletics When, in his senior year, he is assigned as quarter-back to the Prescott team, his spirits are high, but he suffers a slight injury that takes him temporarily out of the game Tremont is winnine and there are only two more minutes ty play.

34 The Billboard, July 31 —E JOHN EMERSON, PAUL N President TURNER, Counsel CHICAGO--- Capitol Bldg A Wide Open Letter to Dixie Hines Mr. Dixie Hines, Editor The Quill, Official Organ of the a a ok AB 1406 Broadway, New York City: My Dear Mr. Hines—You have made The Quill, official organ of the Theatrical Press Representative of America, the weapon of vour guerrilla warfare on the con cil of the Actors’ Equity Association er the ceye of free broadcasting for several months It is your privilege to disagree with the council in its ruling that when actors are asked to perform the plays in which they e currently appearing, or certain scenes from these plays, before the microphones they should be paid for that work It is also your privfege to voice your disagree- ment thru The Quill or any other peri- \dical you may select. It is not so permissible to misinterpret deliberately the council’s ruling on broad- casting, nor does it give much credit to your intelligence to complain that you can not understand Equit or make Equity understand you. On the first of these points, in the June issue of The Quill, on page 4, you wrote, or you printed, an editorial in which the statement occurred that: “If we interpret correctly the refusal of Equity to abolish a bad rule, such as that which forbids its members to broad- cast any material from the play in which they are appearing, while permitting them io broadcast any other matter, it is, in hort, that since they have been fre- quently right in the past, it gives them the present privilege of being wrong.” And then you followed that up in the editorial column of the July issue by re- marking: “Our esteemed contemporary, Equity, fills voluminous space in reporting the recent conference between the Equity Council and the special committee of the Theatrical Press Representatives of Amer- ica on the radio question. It seems that in using up so many words it was bound to report the actual facts in the con- troversy, but a most careful perusal con- vinces us that so far as this hope is con- cerned the space is a total loss.” Suppose we waive the question of intent for the moment and concede that so far it ts purely a matter of a failure of two minds to establish contact. On that as- sumption we will make one last state- ment of the situation as it appears to Equity, and the actual ruling of which you complain. We will state the case as plainly and simply as we may, and if we ever get around to printing this in The Equity Magazine, the printer may help us out by printing it in special type very clear and easy to read. Now then, Mr. Hines— Back in 1922, when radio first began to play a big part in the entertainment field, alert press agents realized that here was a good advertising field Individual ac- tors and whole companies used to’go to broadcasting stations and perform scenes, sometimes the whole play in which they were appearing. There was no council | ACTORS EQ KANSAS CIT Y---Gayery Theater Bldg. ITY ASSOCIATION ETHEL BARRYMORE. Vice-President FRANK GILLMORE ruling in those day not paid for it. The advertising value of broadcasting has always been a disputed matter But ome managers, convinced that they would gain hy it, or perhaps because they were getting it for nothing, began to require and the actors were least one extra (Cor radio) performance each week {nd for this extra perform- pointed out, the actors After complaints had been received, and ‘il had investigated the situa- tion, it ruled (now study this, Mr. Hines) that when members were asked to broad- cast a play or any part of a play in which they were currently appearing, they should be paid as if for an extra perform- ance. The precise language of that ruling, which has been the basis of all subse- quent decisions, was: “Resolved, That the attention of our members be drawn to the fact that the Radiograph is a profitable commercial enterprise which also in a way enters into competition with the theater, and that therefore our members be afivised to seek compensation for any services that they may be invited to give the, Radiograph Company.” That resolution applied to individual members who were approached to broad- cast and did not cover companies. But more complaints came in reciting that Managers were beginning to apply pres- sure to those who followed the council's suggestion, and asking that the ruling be made compulsory and applicable to com- panies. The council referred the point to a general meeting, and the meeting made the payment of one-eighth of a week's salary for the broadcasting of a current production compulsory. Now there is nothing in that resolution or in the subsequent regulations issued by Equity which forbids actors and actresses from broadcasting the plays in which they are appearing—it does say that they must be paid when they do it. If the managers can not see the advertising value of paid broadcasting, then it is with them that you and your organization should quarrel, not with the actors. As a matter of fact there is no real reason for the managers to assume the entire payment themselves Equity did not expect that they would have to do it. The broadcasters in their search for adequate entertainment must turn to professional entertainers If the produc- ing managers are approached by broad- casters for the services of their com- panies, nothing but their own consciences need limit the fees even to the eighth they must pay the actors. Only, Mr. Hines, the managers must be taught to expect that payment from the beginning, for services once rendered freely are seldom valued There remains that question of reaching an understanding with Equity. You, Mr. Hines, and Mr. Goodfriend, appeared be- fore the council on April 6. and had a long talk, in which you argued that the advertising value of radio ppearances was sufficient compensation for the actors, and that a survey of companies under- PARIS By THEODORE WOLFRAM 3alieff’s, Chauve Souris will make an early appearance at the Madeleine Thea- ter.

Any American in Paris who felt home- sick during the week-end of July 4 had no one to blame but himself for Paris seemed almost as American as New York itself.

The council felt further that on every occasion on which the q tion had been submitted to an Equity general meeting, the council's course requiring payment for broadcast- ing had been upheld. They, therefore, could not see their way clear to alter the ruling as you had suggested. Now then, Mr. Hines, that is how the Equity Council understood your proposal. It is composed, in the main, of the most distinguished men and women of the stage, actors and actresses whose men- tality is generally recognized as being pretty well above the average If you meant to tell them anything else, or if you had other arguments in mind, then you may well examine your own presentation of your case. Those who heard you are agreed that this represents that interview. It is still your privilege to disagree with their findings and to argue that your posi- tion was correct and that they were and are wrong. But don’t allege that Equity is not facing the issue, or is not even aware of what the issue is. You convict vourself out of your own mouth when you take that tack, I trust that whether or not you agree with Equity’s stand, you will, at last, un- derstand it. Faithfully yours, FRANK GILLMORE, Executive Secretary. Frank Gillmore Back at His Desk Fram Gillmore, executive secretary of the association, is back at his desk again after a vacation in Italy. Some of the sunlight of that sunny land came back in the form of sunburn Mr. Gill ports that he is rested and re 3 his trip and is quite ready for another season of the exacting but extremely in- teresting duties of his post.

He was able to give fuller and more complete details of some of the problems of that office than could be pos- sible at long range, and the work of both Offices should profit by his trip. Equity’s Position on Loans to Members A member recently wrote to head- quarters, with every evidence of amaze- ment, that he had applied to one of the branch offices for a loan, and had been informed that Equity could not lend money except in cases of absolute strand- ing. That provision, altho this member did not know it, is of many years’ standing. The early councils recognized that if Equity meant to loan money to its mem- bers as a regular part of its services, it would have to go into the banking busi- ness, and would probably run thru its funds in short order. like atmosphere. Many other theaters, cabarets and dance halls announced spe- cial celebrations in honor of the day and the American flag was very much in evidence. Kay Laurell announces that she will attempt a play in French this winter. She practiced her French “sans aecent” on the waiters at a luncheon at Ciro’s and a birthday dinner at Voisin’s As most waiters understand any language, even Chinese, the birthday parties were successful.

Vol. XXXVIII. JULY 31. No. 31 Showmanship A few weeks ago A. L. Erlanger came out with a plea for the support of more real showmen in the theater. Erlanger himself is a showman. He confesses that he is quite fond of the title. Well, why not? It is an honorable title. Augustin Daly and Ch: irles l’roh- man were showmen, according to Er- langer’s own adn nission. So was Bar- num. So are are the Ringlings. So is Belasco. Erlanger describes the showman as “a man who gives shows.” The definition is all right, as far a it goes. But not every man who giv shows is a showman in the full sense of the term. In order to be he must pos- sess a certain business acumen together with a talent for know ing entertainment S es from the public’s angle. A little showmanship can make a big difference sometimes. The Vor recently bri which read, : “The greatest trouble with the South Tersev Exposition has been that it wasn’t staged by a showman. “The educational features are excel- lent. Camden, N.

The Merry-Go-Round The merry-go-round is one device that never seems to be affected by changing public tastes. Despite its many 1, i ts } years of service and the wide extent of its use, this bouncing- horse affair continues to flourish. It is, in fact, more popular now than it ever was. Only the other day a_ well-kno showman was heard to remark that he simply couldn’t get along without. a merry-go-round. Other rides, too, are making and hold- Ing por ul iritv.

Defending Carnivals The radio address eee he radio address on carnivals given by Carleton Collins the week before last was not the first broadcasting of a car- as is known, it was the first def ve argument for carnivals ever sent over the air, That’s what the story said 1 id ° . Plenty of carnival and circus repre- sentatives have been heard over the eal; "Le th; radio. The history and romance and i -uliarities of the outdoor amusement siness and its followers have been pretty well told. But no one within memory ever at- tempted to make reply to the widely circulated false propaganda against out- door amusements. Two +h; is particularly in need of at this time 1 } hes i ngs that the carnival br 5 i uusiness (1) More effort toward combating unfair proy da.

There is still the same distortion of ife to fit the romantic hokum that sells. There is still the nasty undercurrent of physical attraction that is labeled 1 “4 ot Of course, the villain in the movies almost always pays the price.

And how about “the man vs the freight?” There is not one so-called objection to dramatic tent shows, carnivals or cir- cuses that cannot be contradicted—pro- vided the objecting parties have minds that are open to reason. Oz O. M “Inty re, who says he is seldom civen to mor vive brn lang observes that the men and women who ra written the = ! books are about the cleanest plavs and only ones who have endured. In the olden days the young men with erect frames, b road shoulders and pr minent chins became models for Kuppenheimer clothes and Arrow col- lars. Nowadays they get jobs as ushers in movie theaters.

Who are these amateurs? The answer IS simple: The countless hundreds of young boys and girls who at the present time are booking for “amateur nights” all over the this country. Most of them will rise to stardom just as the present stars have risen, Nearly all the amateurs the writer has met have infinite pos- sibilities, It is really remarkable how talented many amateurs are Most of them come from well-to-do homes. Hav- ing once become imbued with the spirit of the theater, these young people never lose their interest in things theatrical. What kind of acts do these amateurs put on? On the whole—splendid acts when you consider their handicaps in the way of scenery, lighting, music and ad- vertising. The following is a list of acts which the writer has witnessed: Dar ing, male and female; comedy skits, monolog, burnt-cork minstrel, Italian dialect character, magic, instrumental numbers, song and dance, character im- personations, singing, etc. It is readily believed then that the amateurs are do- ing nearly as well as their professional brethren The writer will wager any reasonable sum that the average amateur act (given the proper scenery, lighting, music, ad- vertising, etc.) is just as good as, if not better than, the average professional act. And what is a professional act any- way? Isn't it just an amateur act aided by the above accessories? And remember this, too—the amateurs are devoting more time to their offerings than the profes- sionals. The amateurs have more time to practice, as they are not often called upon to go from one booking to apother. There is much talk nowadays about the lack of novelty and freshness in the the- ater. The amateurs of today are the ones to look to for a betterment of this condition. The main importance of this discussion would be lost if the writer did not em- phasize the need of many helping hands to aid the amateurs upon their difficult paths to theatrical success. Therefore, dear reader, if you are the manager of a theater—boost the local amateurs; if you are a booking agent—book more frequent- ly from the ranks of the amateurs; if you are a theatrical reporter— report the doings of the amateurs; if you are a pro- fessional—speak encouragingly to those amateurs you meet; if you are only one among the many in the audience—ap- plaud the amateurs; if you are in any way connected with the theater—take an interest in the amateurs. “Oh Father Time, the play is done, The cloth will rise no more; The players dead, the last line said, Only shadows at the door.” “Have no fear, oh gentle friend, The while I costume don; To make a speech, to all and each— That YOUTH will carry on.” (Signed) AN AMATEUR Finals on Magic Expose Gary, Ind., July 17, 1926.

A. today is standing upon the same platform of principles upon which its founders stood 60 years ago. Our men of today are undoubtedly as bie and as fervent in energy and as devoted to principles as were those fore- fathers. The doctrines are unchanged be- cause they are immutable The fundamentals of this order are as nermanent as the law of gravitation. These fundamentals must govern us in all our efforts to deal with present-day conditions They must govern our con- tructive program, our legislation and our istrative methods. well-meaning brethren depart principles that the order is in ‘ r. Many of the faithful ones have ( and realized their folly when too lat Let the members hold together and } ch the morality that has always been uppermost in their minds, and if this is done and they walk in the good life of good nd brotherhood they will have noth- ing to fear To co forward from thes¢ ne so without breaking our ties with the past may, to some brethren, seem quixotic or impossible. The writer for his own part believes this is being done. The order is progressing. It is ad- vancing. It is winning out. Now let all have the same idea and help to make the future what it should be.

Stahl says that the thrill of seeing the tigers with stripes around their bellies performing in staid o'd Quincy on a Sunday after- noon is worth all of the effort he put forth to aid the show. the Hagenbeck- loud in its pra‘se Bob Morton Circus KiNGSTON, Ont., Can., July 22.—The Bob Morton Circus will open a three-day engagement here tomorrow under the auspices of the Rotary Club. The ade vance details have been capably handled by Advance Director Warren E. Soles, with Billy Cronin assisting. The show- grounds are located in the city on the cricket field. There has not been a cire cus or midway here this year and the city seems circus hungry. The local newspapers have been liberal with space, both papers issuing a two-page circus section today. The first three days were a layoff and the folks took this advantage to spend a couple days in Montreal. Frank Shep- herd and members of the Flying Frank lins; Large and Morgner, with their families; Micky Blue, of clown alley, and others paid the metropolis a visit. The show plays Stratford, Ont., the first three days of next week under aus- pices of the Shrine, and the last three in Kitchener under the Kiwanis Club. Al S. Fogle, in charge of the Stratford date, reports a big sale of tickets and a big contest, while A. E. Waltrip, in Kitchener, sends the same greetings to the management. The writer had the pleasure of meet- ing some real fans in the newspaper fraternity in Canada, the latest being J. E. Roberts, Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Appel- ton, of The Beacon-Herald in Stratford, who gave him every possib’e assistance in getting out a four-page circus section. In Kitchener the writer was assisted by Harvey Sills, manager of the Lyric Theater, a very pretty theater. Mr. Sills is one of the few theater managers who do not believe that the circus takes all their business away during the engage- ment, and has been co-operating in every way possible with the advance depart- ment of the circus. The show will jump back into the States after playing the Kitchener en- gagement and wil! open a series of dates under police and Shrine auspices, running far into Florida for the winter months.

McCrory was with CLARENCE and MARTHA SCHULTZ, who are successful trick riders and ropers in the circus, and in charge of the Indians sent to _Sar- rasanni by Colonel JOSEPH MILLER. They turn them away by the hundreds at every performance, states McCrory. The stands are for 10 or more days with many shows, all the standing room avail- able taken at every show. McCrory is a top-notch bulldogger, roper and bronc rider. He says there is no place like good old America, where everyone speaks Eng- lish, but that he will be ready to go back with the Miller Show this winter. ; It is probable that Colonel Joseph Mil- ler will make a trip abroad before the close of the season here to make ar- rangements for taking over the entire show about December, after the season closes here. This will make the third trip abroad for Colonel Miller during the year on business for the show. EDDIE ROSENBERRY, RED Mee PRIDE, JACK WRIGHT, BILLY LOR- ETTE and LEO MURRAY, who were all on the sick list from injuries or nervous breakdown, are fully recovered and add- ing to the stellar attractions of the show at every performance, trick riding, rop- ing, brone riding or clowning, in which- ever line they excel. Mrs. JUNE BART- LETT SHEPHERD, with the show last season, came over from Jamestown, Pa to visit PEARL MURRAY and WINNE- FRED NELSON at Dunkirk, N. Y. HANK DURNELL, well-known trick rider and roper, is knocking them cold with his under-the-belly and roping while standing on his head stunts. CARLO MYLES is now superintendent of the In- dians with the show. Myles is one of the longest in the show business, formerly with the Miller Show and also with the late BUFFALO BILL many seasons In addition to the many duties DAN DIX bas, director of parade, his noted act with his mule “Virgil”, he has assumed the responsibilities of secretary-treasurer of the 101 Ranch ball team. Dan is not only a great fan but an excellent officer for the team. LOUISE HANGMEYER of Cleveland is the youngest and latest addi- tion to the cowgirl contingent. SCOUT MATSH, chief of cowboys and girls, has made himself decidedly popular with th fair ones since his usual “all right, let’ gzo,”’ heard early each morning, is fol- lowed on each Sunday morning with “The ladies don't need to ride their hors to the lot this morning. Take your beauty nap.” Mrs. NETA EDGAR- REYNOLDS, noted trick rider, was in- jured at Youngstown, O., July 21 ina fall from her horse while trick riding. Her head, arm and shoulders were in- jured, but it was expected she would be back under the big top within a week. From the Las Vegas (N. M.)

Excel Animal Circus CLEVELAND, July 22.—Th« Excel Animal Circus is still playing neighbor- hood spots in this city, but indications are that it will soon end its run hereand head for Michigan, where it has a num- ber of engagements. This city has been covered thoroly and but one performance has been missed. During the past week Owner William Schulz has been working hard training “Duke,” the big fighting lion, to ride a horse, and he is making wonderful progress. At the conclusion of each night performance the circusgoers are permitted to witness the training, and the box-office receipts are being increased as a result, Col. Joe Miller and Manager Art Eld- ridge, of the 101 Ranch Show, paid Schulz a visit recently, and stated that his show is one of the nicest and cleanest they have seen this season. At a performance of the Ranch show here Mr. and Mrs “Snap” Wederman and Ruth Larrazolas were guests of Mr. Eldridge. Al Lambert is now handling the front door, succeeding Ed Sullivan, who with “Red” Whitman has joined the Ranch show. “Shorty” Harper, who opened with the Sparks Cir- cus, is assisting Mr. Schulz in training the wild animals.

Etta Louise Blake visited again Saturday evening, and Man- ager Henry Pollie was another Saturday visitor Carelessness on the part of a truck driver caused such damage to one of the wagons that the departure of the train was delayed until nearly 10 o’clock, but the run here was made in good time and the show was on the lot shortly after dark Sunday night.

Charley Johnson (Hindu Charley), with the largest python he has ever had just received from Ruhe, is turning his share of midway visitors, and his lecture is creating much favorable talk. Clyde Reagan, Jules Labow, E@ Mc- Glocklin, Dr. Lee and others from Thomas McKee Post, American Legion, at Monessen, motored 70 miles to spend the evening with Nate Mil’er and Jimmy Gentry, who has been added to the en- tertainment staff of the Georgia Novelty Company. Miller, visiting from Miami, has every indication of being permanent around the show that has been his home for 18 years. Treasurer F. O. Burd continues to make friends by the diplomatic manner in which he handles his difficult position, and every week chairmen of committees praise the manner in which the state- ments are handled. He is an important cog in the Nat Reiss machine and a big factor in the triumphant march of this organization in territory where the show is practically unknown.

The Billboard, July 1926 S, PIERS and BEACHES Conducted by NAT S. GREEN—Communications to 25 Opera Place, Cincinnati, O. Thompson’s Park, ~ Rockaway Beach ROCKAWAY BEACH, N. Y., July 22.— Thompson's Park, Steelplechase, is round- ing out its 7 urth successive season under the popular management of Harry Tudor, one of the best-known park managers in the East, and this $1,000,000 project is a credit to the L. A. Thompson Scenic Rail- way Cor , wh controls Thompson’s Park, v ea le variet of worth- while ridé ndc esionaires grace this park, including the han bear whe re thousands of bathers baal in the ae hte ful sunshine or bathe in the breakir Zz at of the Atlantic. Surf bathing is now at its height and the bathhouses are reaping the harvest, the first good break they have had this season. Rockaway Beach which is part of the Rockaways, is 40 minutes from Broadway. With the com- pletion of the new Cross Bay boulevard, across Jamaica Bay, the distance betw een Rockaway Beach and New York is shortened 10 miles, and motorists take ad- vantage of this short cut, which is im- proving business materially in Steeple- chase and Seaside. The Boardwalk is a contributing factor to the success of Rockaway Beach. The Boardwalk is flanked on each side by flashy concessionaires’ stands, various rides and a few shows, with numerous cafes and soft-drink places. The view of the waterfront, hotvever, is obstructed by these stands, Thompson's Park is the one bright spot at Rockaway Beach where its patrons find excellent rides and interesting shows, which is, in a measure, a duplication of Coney Island. The Palais de Dance, atop Thompson's Park, is in its second season under the management of W. C. Allen, with spe- cial dance music by Eddie Glockner’s Crescent City Five, including Eddie Glockner, leader; George Bennett, drums; Sal Paca, reed; W. Tennant, trombone; C. Damiano, trumpet, and they broadcast weekly from WMCA station. Four nights each week are devoted to dancing contests, Ten waiters and three cashiers are m- ployed. The whirlwind coaster is the fastest ride in the Rockaways; it is man- aged by Harry Saur; the attendants are S. Stern, Bernard Hoffman, Elmer Carnes, Alexander Zinke, and Fannie Holland and Lillian O’Laughlin, cashiers. The Green- wich Village Studio is a high-class art studio where Herman William Stackel makes life-like portrait sketching while you wait Miss Rockaway, Famous Beauty Parlor and Laugh House, is man- aged by N.

Several hundred dollars in prizes will be awarded; free acts, band concerts and independent booking of shows, rid: and concessions will be inaugurated. intensive advertising campaign has also been planned. Hits and Bits From Riverview Chicago, July 22 mnrise nprise —At last ~ park is enjoying ideal summer — r, and this, together with the big free circus as an attraction, accounts for a very noticeable increase in business. The circus is a great drawing card and the manner in which the acts are displayed at different po int s in the park is an aid to conditions. The beauty of the park is further boosted this season by the groups pretty girls working at the refreshment stands operated by Mr. Gates and Ma ix Kane. We sure have to leave it to Max for hiring such a swell set of girls. There is only one refreshment stand in the park where the Three Graces can work and that is at Selma’s stand, down at the river. The Three Graces are Selma Steinke, Marie Toner and Bertha Jackson. Of course there have been other girls working there, but they lost their title after they were promoted. For in- stance, Ida Seymour and Flo Rise. May we add here that this story would be eens without the original Ida and ot Oo. In a slight change that has been made Ed McLean becomes butcher at the ham and bacon stand and Les Burnes has been transferred to the candy booth.

In France and Eng ind Mr. Meyers found conditions not so good as th apply to outdoor amusements, due primarily to the weather, which has be unsea nable. “I spent three weeks in Paris and oy week in London,” Mr. Meyers informed the New York office of The Billboard where he was a pleasant visitor. “Up t July 1 Paris had practic ally had no sum mer at all; the same conditions obtains in London, and it was pitiful to see the resorts lacking business.

This is particularly true of th: parks, of which there are few Our metropolis is 100 per cent for aay wit the shows next. The scenic railway is conceded the most popular ride. rt is df ferent from the scenic rai ilways in tl country, as in building same in country they are. enclosed with cer t walls with picturesque scenery insid that gives an inspiring effect you do not get in this country. “In South America living conditions are ideal; in fact, it is a “manana” coun- try, meaning that there is less speed than there is in the States I am having a fine vacation and taking in the various theaters and parks in Greater New York Coney Island is a wonder resort, but there is such a duplication in the rides there that I can’t understand how they all exist.” Mr. Meyers is looking for novelty and thrill rides and has consummated deals for the purchase of various rides for his J se Gardens, including 30 s ter aterpillar, chair-o-plane and several! rides, and with the latter he wil! the first kiddie playground in South America, which promises to create a furore He has purchased frozen cus tard machines, turnstiles and three com- plete soda fountains. The Japaness Garde ns in Buenos Aires has a large amphitheater known as the Theater Romano, where vaudeville shows and special events are given. There is also a ating rink, size 140x250, which is very popu lar; special music is supplied by a stringed orchestra. The park season in Bueno Aires is from November to March. Two evening ich week the park caters exclusively to the elite class and on these evenings the admission pr is doubled. Mr. Mevye further stated that unlike the parks this country the Japanese Gardens open and closes twice a day. The first opening is at noon and the closing time is at 7 o’clock. The park reopens at § and closes at midnight. In this way two separate crowds are catered to daily ar i this makes for greater business in the opinion of this foreign manager. Mr. Meyers was formerly associated with the late Nat Reiss and traveled for some time with the Reiss Shows. Canarsie Park Changes Hands N.

98 Hope, Ark.., hereby itiated as a con- tributor to Pipes. “Th town was closed”, says Ben, “but a Dr. DAVIS has opened it. I went out to see his show one night. He works different from any medicine man I have ever seen. Always clean. I a'so went out on his last night, and he certainly knew how to sell and how to take care of the audience. I had a long talk with the Dr. He told me that he has worked in every town in Arkansas, even Helena and Texarkana, and can al- ways go back. He has the good will of the doctors and the merchants, and just now the mayor stopped and wished him good luck and asked him to come back The Dr. runs no office and has only one entertainer, G. A. LE CLARE. But Le Clare is as good as six of some others. There is a laugh from start to finish. Just now a poor lady came in the lobby and talked to Dr. Davis, and he positively gave her two packages of medicine free. The Dr. says he stays in a town only from one day to a week, because he sells to the drug trade as well as on the lot. He also has a beautiful moving house on wheels, and he introduced me to his wife, a beautiful woman and a fine cook. Mrs, Davis does not work with the show, how- ever. They certainly are fine people.” DR. GEORGE M. REED reports that Syracuse will grant a permit for anything except medicine, and that the State of New York in general is hostile to med. So the Dr. has left that fair city for Pennsylvania. ELLIOTT REED, the Dr’s son, who also is well known in the pitching fraternity, has been in the hospital as a result of being struck by a truck recently. ‘\ JAMES E. MILLER pipes from Des Moines, Ia.: “Arrived here the 18th from Omaha. Among the knights in that city were Doc Hicks, Pete Ellsworth and others. At Sioux City I met Ghick Den- ton with perfume.

Would like a pipe from George Sperry and others, CHARLES YIDDEL GAMEISER, who has had a flay layout store with notions up in Albany, N. Y.,, the last two months —and doing very good—writes that the building has been rented and he must vacate. So he is now having an “auction enle’. Among the pitchmen who called on Charles recently were Nat Brown, peeler worker, headed for Pennsylvania fairs; Russel, the pen man, bound for Rochester; Harry Maiers, the all-round worker, going to upper New York State, and a few others. Arizona Bill, from New York, is now doubled up with Harry Maiers. They have big signs fastened to the sides of their car reading “Big Free Show Tonight’, and it certainly makes the natives sit ‘up and take notice. AL BEEBE has sent Bill some snap- shots of Dr. Harry F. Parker’s Wa Ne Gah Medicine Company folks and outfit. Fine folks and a nice outfit. The com- pany is now playing lots at Streator, IIL, and business is great, Al says. One of the advertising features of the show con- sists of 12 photo boards scattered around town in store windows. They are all 8x10, on a 2x3 display board, trimmed in gold and silver. The latest social do- ings, as reported by Al, are as follows: “Everyone is busy playing croquet. The Dr. furnished a set for troupers to pass away the time with. It’s just these little kind deeds that make our congenial man- ager enjoy prosperity after streaks of bad luck last winter and spring. This show is 100 per cent for him, and it looks now that a banner season is ahead. Noted the pipe from Mr. and Mrs. TOM MACK. Sorry I forgot to mention they paid us a visit at Peru. They also were kind enough to throw on a turn for Dr. Parker and it pleased very much, They are real people and A-1 medicine folks. Dr. W. M.

They expect to visit this show in August while on their vacation to Camp Point.” EDWARD C. WADE, corresponding secretary of the National Pitchmen and Salesmen’s Protective Association, Lodge No. 1, Los Angeles, Calif., wishes to sound a warning to the members of the brotherhood who may be planning to visit the Pacific Coast this season. “The major portion of the large cities on the Coast,” says Wade, “are practically closed to the pitching fraternity. Start- ing at Seattle, the following towns are closed: Tacoma, Portland, Oakland, Seat- tle, San Francisco, Sacramento, Stockton, Fresno and Bakersfield. Los Angeles, Santa Ana and San Diego are open, but the summer season in these towns is not productive of any business of any amount. The beaches have done fairly well, but there are plenty of the boys to fill the holes. We are working on the San Francisco proposition and think we will be able to straighten it out, but it will take a little time. “Dr. Berkely, who was with Seng Company on Main street, has sev- ered his connections with it and pre- paring to go on the road.

William Faversham Dismissed From American Passion Play (Continued from page 5) Concerning the charges that he paid no. attention to rehe calls Faversham stated that rehe arsals were always held late in the afternoon, hardly giving the performers time to leave and return for the evening performance. He lai ms to have repeatedly asked that. re- earsals be held in the morning, which was the logical time, but that Miss Dick son objected strenuously. According to Faversham, lines, scenes and _ players were chanced almost daily so that it was extremely difficult for anyone ‘to properly take care of his part or be able to follow cues. It is evident that there able and constant friction between Miss Dickson and Faversham concerning the direction of the play. Faversham's contract was to run for eight week at a reported salary of $650 a week, with an option that the manazce- was consider- ment could procure his services for two additional weeks if it so desired. Faversham will take court action against the Pilgrimage Play officials, and has engaged attorneys here to ficht his case and gain the necessary retribution and damages. He charges the yay management with violation of its contract with him He has also appealed to the Actors’ Equity Association to aid him in his case. Faversham was lauded by all the critics for his performance and excellent portrayal of Christ. 800% PROFIT Entz Fluff Foam | |\ ~ MAKES ¥ ls g HANDSOME % |S HEALTHY 3 in HAIR £ & ILLUSTRATION IS HALF SIZE ENTZ FLUFF FOAM is a _feat a ‘weight sham- ing it -half ounce per “\ : i t regular price of 25 per cake st $ a profit of $32.00 per gros No firm name r add $ pears on wrapper.

There are spacious press ae for the newspaper representatives, who have been profuse in their praise of the South Jer- sey Exposition, and the rearrangement of the amusement features since Mr. Pollitt has inducted his system in the reorganization of the exposition. New riding devices and concessions are being arranged for. Max Goodman has the exclusive on all outside concessions. “The South Jersey Exposition has a bright path before it since a real show- man has taken over the active reins,” Arthur L. Hill confided to The Billboard representative, “and Camden, which has been known as a poor show town, is rallying fine to the support of this expo- sition and the entertainment features provided therein. It also proves conclu- sively that recognized circus acts will act as a boom to any program, especially like we are giving the patrons of the Stadium. I am hopeful that the park managers in this territory will appreciate the wisrom of offering good circus acts and see the improvement in business that will follow.” Director General Pollitt, in the short time he has been identified with the South Jersey Exposition, feels optimistic over the probable outcome and the excel- lent co-operation he is receiving from the civic organizations and the press and public in general.

Winston, who has Winston's water lions and diving nymphs, and has spent the past six years in England and on the continent, where he has been appearing successfully in the leading variety theaters, is spending a short time in this country preparatory to sailing for Stockholm, Sweden, where he will present Schuman’'s one-ring cir- cus, which he recently acquired While in the States Mr. Winston took advantage of the opportunity to visit his parents, who reside in Monterey, Calif. He is booked solid until 1928 on the other side. He appeared for nine months in the Casino. De Paris, Paris, where he regis- tered a big hit. In Germany, he states, conditions are good, and the people have money, which they spend liberally on amusements. The three leading Cerseses of Germany are Circus Krunen, Sarassani and Busch, which compare favorably with some of the American circus in- stitutions. Conditions in Europe and France are not as good as they are in the German Empire, Mr. Winston stated. 101 Ranch Show’s Quick Work YOUNGSTOWN, oO., July 21.—Six hours late on arriving in Youngstown from Pittsburgh, due to one of the show ears being derailed, the afternoon per- formance of the Miller Bros.’ 101 Ranch Show was just 50 minutes late in start- ing. The street parade was one hour late, being on the streets at 12 o'clock. It is greatly due to the managerial abil- ity of Art Eldridge and his corps of as- sistants that everything was ready.

Kline Shows SEATTLE, Wash., July 19.—The Abner K. Kline Shows, under the auspices of the Seuth End Club, on two vacant lots be- tween 12th and lith avenues and Yesler Way and James street, were allowed to use 13th avenue, making it an admirable location. A front and back gate were used at 10 cents admission and grounds were more or lk packed nightly. All shows, rides and concessions did good business. In getting onto the lets a street car ran into one of the carry-us-all wagons and caused that ride to lose Monday night. The company's claim agent ad- justed all damages in a satisfactory man- ner. Barney McCain nearly grieved him- self sick over not getting his ferris wheel up and going Monday. It is the first opening night that Barney has ever lost. Lillian La France, the girl who flirts with death, was summoned to the bedside of her sister, who is seriously ill, and in consequence lost Thursday night. W. H. Wright is making the openings on the “Circle of Death” and Cyclone Curtis is a new rider added to the lineup. The Cone gress of Wonders and the Arkansas Min- strels are undergoing some changes in the personnel. James Kelly of the W. J. Picard forces has closed. Vic Levitt and several members of the Levitt-Browne- Huggins Shows were visitors. During the week Amona Thomas (Mrs. Jessie Sesson) of the Arkansas Minstrels gave birth to a six-pound son at the General Hospital. Mother and son doing well and will rejoin the show when we play a return engage- ment here week August ®. Hi TOM LONG (Abner Kline’s Workingman). Isler Greater Shows CLARINDA, Ia., July 25.—This week's spot is the first fair of the season and up to today business is below par. How- ever the show is expecting that the last part of the week will be good Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Anderson and daughter motored from East Moline to visit Mrs. J. B. Parker, Mrs. Anderson's sister. Mr. Parker has received many letters of praise for results obtained by his new idea of a novelty movable ad- vertisement and every week finds the spaces taken by large manufacturing companies. Harry Fitzgerald Joined oa Circus Side Show as a fire eater. ‘ and Mrs Gunther joined the Hone ei Trail, Ma on tickets and Pa on the inside. Ricardo Nelson, the Swedish Hercules, is making two fair dates with this show — is doing good. Visitors noted on the midwW this week were Mr. and Mrs. N. C. Fair- ly, Mr. and Mrs. Hutchison, Mr. and Mrs. Bomnard, Uncle Buck Davis, Count Zeno and J. E. O'Brien of the Fairly Shows, Dad Hanson came on with his merry mixup and it is the top_money-getting ride. BILLY MACK (for the Show). Percy Beers Hurt Playing Ball During the Billings, Mont., engage- ment of the John T. Wortham Shows the personnel participated in two most ex- citing ball games, the opposing teams representing t! Minstrel Show on one side and the band and concessions on the other, The latte r team won the first game, which resulfd in serious injury to the lege of P y Beers, plaving secona base. One of the eolored players made an aeroplane slide for second and while yet in midair struck his head against Reer’s leg, breaking it in two places. The head was not injured Glen Jones um- pired both games and his size saved him. oC $$$ - ) 7 | at Ditlere: Sh: ‘ ' ‘ ’ . | . J 1° . a 2 0 - Z ele > > OU : : 9 2 0 . ' ’ ALL ELECTRIC o i $200¢2 ‘| J.
