The innovation has out quite successfully loyees of the gentler sex are hew thing with Bainbridge at the Shubert Theater.

Equity Bringing Managers Together Organization of All Broadway Legitimate Producers Now Believed Imminent NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—The long hoped for but until now seemingly impossible achievement of bringing together all the e theater producers in one har- and truly co-operative organ- ization is at last believed to be im- minent Altho the greatest secrecy has the series of conferences been going on since the ac- juity Association announced a few weeks ago that it had terminated the 10-year basic agreement with the Managers’ Protective Association, enough has been learned by The Billboard to lead to the belief that not only is the serious attempt so far being made to bring the various factions together. but there is every indication of ult te success. It is understood that Equity is taking the real initiative. Publicly the associa- tion still stands cn its decision that the pact with the M. P. A. is off, and, tho it is known that negotiations for straight- ening this old matter out have been given a number of hearings, the specula- tion of the wiseacres is that now that aJl managers have been placed on an equal basis as independents Equity pre- fers to keep them on an equal basis, but that the advantages of dealing with a complete zation of all of them rather with individuals would be so much more ideal that Equity has de- cided to step into the breach and bring it about. organi than ‘rank Gillmore and Paul N. Turner. of Equity, have not only been holding conferences with representatives of the M. P. A., but it is understood that they have had serious talks with several lead- ing producers who are outside the M. P. A. ranks. Some of these producers, so reported, are known to be of the opposing faction under the Erlanger leadership as against the Shubert fol- lowing, while others with whom con- ferences are understood to have been held are representative of the impartial group. Gillmore and Turner quietly leave town tomorrow to spend a week in seclusion, it is learned, to work out the details which have as the result of their various conferences It is speculated that Winthrop Ames yrisen will be the medium who will bring the managerial factions together under the plans that are being worked out in ac- cordance with a solution of difficulties which is at last believed to have been found Lift Evansville Quarantine EVANSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 15—The ban on public gatherings for children under 16 veat in force here since September 20, to prevent the spread of infantile 1 y has been lifted by the board tet of health * Sea Seen es TT ieee ay e ’ Fo ing = | O a r 4 [ oe = iC r p) | \ Z } _ . a ad . ee 7 c.

8 The Billboard, October 22, 1927 New Fire and Theft Protection Brings Flood of Applications Equity’s Accqmplishment in Getting World-Wide Floater Insurance for Members Is Appreciated Bevond Expectations—Surprise in Quickness of Profession To Seize Opportunity NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—Applications for the new floater insurance iat off fire and theft protection on actors’ personal property wherever it may be, } e been coming in so thick and fast from members of the profession all over the country that considerable difficulty has been experienced in handling the flood of orders and extra well-known the: ce agent who is handling the policies for Equity ‘Yr 6! Ca imrocIraT ai iii iva at his offices at 521 Fifth avenue. Sur- prise and elation is felt in the quick response of Equity members to seize upon the opportunity offered, and of- ficials of the association express pleasure at the appreciation shown of the accom- plishment, took more than 15 years of negotiations before an estab- lished underwriter could be induced to accept property of actors fon a blanket risk. The low rate of $2.50 a hundred placed the opportunity offered within easy reach of all Equity actors and is be- lieved to be responsible for the sur- prisingly large response before hardly a start had been made in Equity’s in- tended campaign to advise its members to take out protection and before Kemp’s forces had really started the work of personal solicitation. Heavy losses sus- tained in the past by actors who were unable to obtain protection against theft and pilferage while in the theater, in transit, or in hotels or temporary living quarters, is also believed to be one of the reasons for the immediate response. Many professionals have learned a bitter lesson when they have ducers, house managers, tra companies, railroad officials, agemenis and other supposedly sible parties have general] cuse which has permitted them out of standing for any da losses of actors’ personal property. which has respo y had some ex- to crawl hee res Memphis Auditorium As Regular Theater, MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 17.—The Audi- torium, which heretofore has confined its theatrical entertainments largely to the concert field and local presenta- tions, will branc} ru ter this win Charles A.

That is the immediate effect of a LINIT Beauty Bath. Merely dissolve two or more handfuls of LINIT (the well- knownscientificlaundry starch sold by grocers) in your bath of warm water, bathe as usual, using your favorite soap—and then feel your skin—soft and satiny smooth! You will notice that LINIT adheres well—never comes off on the clothing—eliminates ‘*shine”’’ and absorbs perspira- tion; also, that when LINIT is added to the bath, it produces a creamy “‘feel’’ to the water which makes bathing a de- lightful pleasure. Starch from corn is the main ingredient of LINIT—harm- less to the most sensitive skin —and being a vegetable prod- uct, it contains no mineral properties to irritate the skin. Dermatologists and doctors regard its safety and purity so highly that they generally recommend starch from corn for the tender skin of young babies. Try a LINIT Beauty Bath today—merely buy a package of LINIT from your grocer and follow the above suggestions. atk VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU!

Mona Morgan To Present Shakespeare for Children NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—Shakespeare is to be brought to the high schools of this city not merely thru the prosaic channels of the classroom, but in the form of a theater especially built and managed for this purpose. The insti- gator of this idea is Mona Morgan, International Shakespeare Association. In conjunction with this organization she will give a series of matinees of Shakespeare’s plays. “I am planning to organize a pro- fessional company of young players,” Mona Morgan said upon her return from France last week, “to present four Shakespeare companies at once. We believe that the most effective method of bringing Shakespeare to the young people is by presenting his works on the stage, and that young players will be more effective because children wil! re- spond readily to them than to older persons The association will the work and ill, at the start, back it financially. No advertising and no box office will be maintained, but the more start children may purchase tickets at 75 cents and $1 each thru their schools The productions will not depend on cad the players will be charity, and We expect to give the first this fall.” paid performance Changes in Casts NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—Pascal will succeed Anderson Lawler ir of Her First Affaire, at the Bayes Thea- ter Gertrude Moran has repla Temple in Pickwick, at the Empire The- ater Aristides De Leoni has ceeded Aili Yousuff in the cast of The Squall, at the 48th Stree: Theater Matt H I replaced William Bonel! the cast of Romancing 'R ind the Little Theater Vi ( W er hi succeeded Georre Denny in he t of In Abraham's B at the Pr Joe Barrett has replaced in Jimmie’ Theater neetown Playhouse Sam Parks Women, at the Biltmore Belasco Makes Plans For Two Productions NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—David Belasco’s next production will be he new play b Edv Cr Carne ‘ I piece, wil h is te ‘ titled He T¢ 0TarT H band } been unde ce cderation for some time Tune W f 1 Geoffre Kerr were er ed ome time agro ts he The play will go into reh« RB will follow this show th 7 I Mf b Ferer Mo!

Granted that this is Mack's bit bit of comedy bur- lesque, in which he should dominate the seene, there is no logical excuse for dig- nifying the bit by Prima Donna Rece in evening gown, turning down a classy- clothed club man, by flirting with a bum, who drags her off stage by the neck, whereas a flighty flip chorister could be used to far better advantage. The other bit was staged in a tropical scenic set of splendor, with several characters a la Aloma, who played their parts with all the fervor of real dramatic actors, until it came to what should have been a big burlesque finale, when it flopped, due to the ban on double entendre at the Columbia Theater, whereas it could have been given the necessary punch by the substitution of a line: “Two Dollars for a Bottle of Booze.” Taking the production and presenta- tion in its entirety, it is a credit to the producer, the company that presents it and the Columbia Circuit, NELSE. | New Incorporations Delaware Frincipal Theaters Corporation of Pennsylvania, Wilmington, 100,000 shares common; Corporation Trust Company of America, Wilmington.

But apparently Chicago is just finding out how Equity feels on the subject Ashton Stevens. writing In The Chi- ccgo Herald-Exraminer of October 7, re- marked that: “Leslie Henson has stirred up some hot discussion in London by suggesting that the theaters there close on Mondays, or even Fridays, and open on Sundays ‘thereby’, comments Dean Inge, ‘candidly advertising London as a Godless town.” “I dare say a city which permits the pagan pleasures of the playhouse on Sunday nights is far from Godly. But I am hardened to it. having been born and raised in Sundayless San Francisco, which, after a few brief seasons in sacred New York, I exchanged for sinister Chi- cearec, where even the shooting galleries are Open on the Christian Sabbath “But I am told by one who stands high among doers of good in the Actors’ Equity Association that the time the when I shall be able to go ch instead of to the Sunaay night openings of the Folltes or the Scandais Or at least to Monday or Friday prayer meetings “For my actor friend says that Equity's is coming to chur next great movement to improve the working conditions of tne players will be in the direction of Sunday, or even Monday or Friday closings “Ye tells me that while certain of the more mercenary players willingly come to Chicago and play seven nights a week ' 1inst New York's six, on account of the extra pay for the extra performance, the majority hold their art and leisure so high as to resent not having each week a full 24 hours to devote to medi- ir ag tation and recreation These, he says, will cheerfully accept here the lower wage scale of New York in favor of the weekly night off And he assures me that so for there is no ‘religious in- fluence’ backing this movement as there was in the case of pronibition. “I believe the first seeds for a one- a-week closing of the theater were sown several years ago by that egcod actor and frightful speechmaker. Richard Bennett, who found his theories put in practice this summer when he persuaded Man- that The Rarker might as Monday nights. and if the theaters close one week. it ought to be called Nicht’.” acer Warner well close on “When night a *‘Bennett The same newspaper, commenting editorially on Mr. Stevens’ remarks, de- clared: “We must say it sounds reasonable. If the theatrical managers could arrange to allot dates so that some shows closed on Monday, some Tuesday. and so on it might be even better for business all around, and such an arrangement, in- asmuch as theaters are open on Sunday nights here anyway, can scarcely be thought an irreligious innovation “And, whether or not it were good for business, it would be unquestionably good for art. The popular theory still seems to be that as an actor or actress is actually on the stage only a few min- utes or an hour or two per day he or she can easily afford the energy to work seven cays a week. But the effects of constatit overtime are psychologically dangerous. To have no free day tends to wear out the nerves. A player may work just as hard on his free day as on the other six, just as a reporter may hane pictures for his wife or a brick- laver play golf all day on his day off, but the feelirg is different. The one free day is restful because it is free. Fi- nancially we do not know how one dark right a week would work in the thea- ters, but philosophically, as nus peen Said, it is reasonable.” The editorial writer of The Herald-Er- aminer is a bit closer to Equity'’s point of view than Mr. Stevens, this time. It is the nervous strain which makes a seven-day week so wearing to the play- crs. And even in those parts of which it is said the actor is merely playing himself there is a concentration and tension which is not suspected by the audience This tension, felt by all the cast, is especially heavy cn the star, or leading riayer. And in the case of a heavy emo- tional role it is a very real and some- times a very terrible burden to have to shoulder day in and That is one reason why Equity stands for one night off a week. week out There is a financial reason, too. All contracts are now based on eight per- formances a week, six evening and two matinee. If Sunday performances were generally allowed, the week's wages would soon be calculated on nine per- formances, and the extra pay now ceived in Chicaco and elsewhere Sunday shows are now played would be 200 more tnan a vanished memory Now as to why Equity insists wherever possible on Sunday nights off. The actor a ) is a gregarious animal, and is fond the society of his fellows. His working hours now are such that ne is general! cut off from ordinary associations He is free while others work rd is werking while they are free. Surday is t! ne most universal day both have left in which to mingle Take that away nd the actor would be doubly isolated from all the contacts which stimulate | benefit his art—the observance of hu- man beings under varying circum- stances. ; As to the finances of the theater immediate gross receipts of greater suc- cesses are undoubtedly affected by this ruling, but the run would be longer and besides there are comparatively few hits in any season and the theaters cannot be run on the precedents they might set. Observance of the grosses drawn in New York at eight performances against Chicago and other cities at nine, has led Equity to believe that over the Jength of the run just ebout the sarne rumber of people will see a play at one of the eight performances as would go if nine were offered. So Fquity’s campaign for Sunday off. cr at least one free day a week, has real reason behind it ACTORS’ EQUITY ASSOCIATION. Chorus Equity Assn.

Other members of the cast were Isabel Jacobs, Alberta Mehrer, Helen Hassel, William Waldron, Franklin A. Granzow, William Price, John T. Geeene, Jr Jasper Deeter was quest director for this play CITY-AND-COLLEGE COMMUNITY THEATER Tne Kansas State Collegian, published by the Kansas State Agricultural College, Manhattan, Kan., publishes a story, with the subhead “College and City Co-oper- ate in Community Theater Plan”, the heading of the article advertising the season's repertory of the Manhattan Theater, the name by which the new community theater will be known. The article states that recognizing the inadequacy of the plan for presentation of plays followed for many years at the college, H. Miles Heberer, director of dra- natics, and Dr. Howard T. Hill, head of the department of public speaking, pre- pared a new plan for managing and sponsoring college dramatics. The plan, as approved, provides for the co-opera- tion of the townspeople, the students and the faculty of the college. The plan further provides for a more business-like method of managing and producing plays, with a board of directors com- posed of students, faculty members and business men of the city. Townspeople, faculty members and students who par- icipate in the plays or serve on the busi- ness and production staffs automatically become members of the community thea- ter. The Purple Masque Players of the col- lege, an organization which has done creditable work, form the nucleus of the community theater membership. The principal reason for organizing the community theater is that not only students of the college and members of the faculty may participate in plays, but that the residents of the city may take an active part in theatricals, as well. H. Miles Heberer, who has directed the Pur- ple Masque Players, will direct the Man- hattan Theater. The season's repertory includes Ro- mance, by Edward Sheldon, October 21 and The Poor Nut, by J. C. and El- liott Nugent, November 18 and 19; Sun- Up, by Lulu Vollmer, February 10 and 11: Two Girls Wanted, by Gladys Unger, March 23 and 24, and The Merchant of Venice, by Shakespeare, at an unan- nounced date MEETING HOUSE THEATER DOES “OUTWARD BOUND” The Meeting House Theater, West 110th street, New York, opened its season on October 11 and 12, with a fine perform- ance of Sutton Vane's Oufward Bound This group, in its fourth season, is un- der the direction of Fay Baker, and has distinguished itself with many fine pro- ductions of full-length plays and has twice won a cup in a tournament of Unitarian church groups The one set required for the play, a miniature production of a ship's bar- 9 AD) room, was heartily applauded. Every player in the cast gave an almost per- fect performance I Pat” Feil, the young player who distinguished himself im the National Tournament last spring member of the Association Player a splendid characterization of the tipsy, blundering Prior. Howard Tiffany und Naomi Diamant, who portrayed the ever-clinging lovers, captured the dra- matic situation of two drifting, agoniz- ing souls and held it beautifully thruout the three long scenes (that Tiffany boy would be a very worth-while discovery for some casting director looking for a new juvenile for Broadway). Irene Biel- nan, who played the role of the char- woman projected over the boundary of life with more aristocratic souls, was genuinely expert in characterization, in- tonation and makeup. S. F. I. Babing- ton as the blustering, assertive business man, gave the most natural performance we have ever seen on a little theater stage. T. Harrington Cardiff, who played the role of the mystified Rev. Duke, showed amazing deftness in maintain- ing a really difficult character. Freder- ick Burgy suggested perfectly the rug- ged wisdom of the Rev. Frank Thomp- son, inspector of souls, and thoroly looked the part. Florence Burgy is to be applauded for her fidelity to the ungrate- ful role of Mrs. Cliveden-Banks, who ran the gamut of affectation, snobbish- ness and ungraciousness. Ben David- son, the good stand-by character actor of the group, made a capital Scrubby, the steward, but marred his performance by a too conversational tone, a fault which persists in all his characteriza- tions. as «th ave LITTLE THEATER, FORT WORTH, TEX. The Little Theater, Fort Worth, Tex., presented during the week of October 10, Merton of the Movies, under the direc- tion of Hunter E. Gardner. The theater itself, which was purchased at the close of last season, is an admirable indication of the progress of the Fort Worth Little Theater movement. Burton Lyons played the title role of Merton. Fern Hines, formerly in musical comedy, was the Montague Girl. Roland Roggenbrod ap- peared in a character role. The settinys were designed by members of the work- shop. Su-Up, by Lula Vollmer, will be presented the week of November 7. Little Theater Notes The Romany Players, Lexington, Ky., are looking forward to a successful sea- son under the management of Professor Carol Sax, of the University of Ken- tucky. The Players are now rehearsing the first of a series of five plays to be given during the season, the first to be presented November 1. A visitor to the playhouse of the Romany Players tells us that the auditorium is very well equipped, seats 204 people and that over 800 season tickets have been sold. The play-reading committee of the Washington, D. C., Little Theater is in- terested in original manuscripts of one- act plays. It will be the policy of the organization to include on each program one play written by a Washingtonian. Norman Lee Swartout, of Summit, N. J., has sold his play publishing business and agency to Longmans, Green & Com- pany, of New York. Mr. Swartout is now associated with Longmans, Green & Come- pany, as manager of the play department. The Green Street Little Theater is the newest San Francisco amateur dramatic organization. Sponsored by Sid Goldtree, it is to hold forth in the North Beach section, in the former Italian variety house, 631 Green street. The theater, long used by Italian devotees of panto- mime, will be remodeled and redecorated in the “theater intime” manner. The Romantic Young Lady opened at the Memphis, Tenn., Little Theater on October 10, for a week's run.

The Billboard, October in Minstrelsy Write for it. tinuing its description of the show The Telegram says: “The patter of the end men goes across with the average qual- ity of minstrel humor, and with rather better than average elocutionary flour- ishes. he management has exhibited real discretion in placing the chorus. Front row, right, obviously was chosen for intellectual characteristics. It is a good show.” EDDIE LEONARD and his Minstrels of the Hour, an aggregation of 20 or more artistes, vaudeville headliner, recently opened his 1927-'28 season at Far Rock- away, N. Y., and at the Flatbush Theater, Brooklyn, beginning a 30-week tour of the Keith-Albee and Orpheum circuits. He played two shows daily at the two theaters. Leonard's new spe- cialty is said to surpass anything in its line ever seen -before. BUCK (CHARLES) LEAHY fires a few “brain teaser’ memory tests: Do you remember when Harry Mock played cor- net with Ward, Coburn and Baldwin's Minstrels? When John Cowden played drums on Tom Hargraves Show? When Buck Leahy led the parade with the John R. Van Arnam Minstrels? When John Griffin played Dizrie in Gettysburg. Pa., with the W. L. Main Circus Band? When the big opposition was between the Ringling Bros.’ Circus and the Barnum Show in Milwaukee? When Bennie Rolfe played in the band on the Spark's Cir- cus? When Harry (Doc) Richards was an end man? When Sam Barnum played bass drum? When Sky Harris sold ice- cream cones the first time on the seats with the Wallace & Hagenbeck Show, season of 1908. for Chick Bell? When Fred Stone played Toby with Dick Sut- ton’s Tom Show? When Midge Dean played drums with Roy E. Fox's Min- strels? When Jack Phillips, Ned Brill, Ollie Payne, Billy Walters and Harry Oli- ver were with the Al G. Fields Minstrels? DOC WHITHAM postcards that he opened his show, the Lincoln Bros." Min- strels, at Central Square, New York, Oc- tober 12. Frank Guth, Charles Wright and Bobby Wilson are new members of the cast this season. The show has several weeks’ booking in picture houses Doc says he noted in The Billboatd min- strelsy department a letter from F. Kries, wanting to know the whereabouts of minstrel people he was with in 1918, if alive. Doc is very much alive, he states, and doing nicely in the minstrelsy game with the Lincoln Bros.’ Minstrels. STAGE EMPLOYEES & PROJECTIONISTS By ROY CHARTIER Communications to 1560 Broadway, N. Y. PAILING to reach an agreement for this season, the stagehands have declared “unfair” the Victory at Mahanoy City and the Victoria at Tamaqua, Pa., con- trolled by the same interests, and thru a road call, operative October 25, will prevent road shows carrying union men to play either of these houses. ON THE I. A. books is an order for a similar call against the Strand and Tem- ple Theaters, in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., issued when operators in both houses were let out. The “unfair” action against these houses is effective October 26. FOLLOWING satisfactory settlement, the road call against the Wilma, Liberty and Rialto theaters, at Missoula, Mont.. and against the Liberty and Grand at Wallace, Id., tn the same local jurisdic- tion, has been lifted. LEW KROUSE, of the Alliance, is in Syracuse, attempting to straighten out the controversy, of which picketing at the Crescent Theater is a direct result. THE I. A. has sent Representatives Crickmore and Tinney to Minneapolis and St. Paul in an effort to mediate in the differences between managers and unions there, which resulted recently in a strike in all theaters in the Twin Cities. SETTLEMENTS, with increases, are re- ported for several New England cities by William Dillon, Alliance representative, who has been in this field for many weeks. Dillon obtained “substantial” boosts for operators in Bridgeport, Conn.; effected a settlement with the Calvin and Plaza, at Northampton, Mass., getting an increase and better working condi- tions under a two-year contract, and ob- tained a raise of 21.50 a week this year and $1 additional next season for op- erators and stagehands in Concord, N. H. W. P. RAOUL, Southern representative, is covering Shreveport. La.; San Antonio, Salisbury and Wilmington, N. C., for the Alliance, to clear up misunderstandings in connection with the new contracts al- ready signed. INTERNAL DISSENSION exists in the local at Huntington, W. Va., according to reports. Ben Brown will make an effort to install peace among the members. CLYDE WESTON, who clarified the contract in Atchison, Kan.. has Sioux City, Ia.. and Omaha, Neb. on his schedule In the former city he is to help negotiations along with the Or- pheum Circuit, while im the latter he will assist the local in unionizing houses in Fremont, Neb. AGREEMENT for a tentative contract calling for an increase for three years and better working conditions has been reached, covering houses of the Roth Brothers’ circuit in Morristown, N. J. A representative of the circuit has been negotiating with W. D. Lang, of I. A. headquarters, to this end. SAM AMBERG, stagehand at the Den- ham Theater, Denver, was painfully in- jured recently when his automobile col- lided with another machine. Riding with Amberg was his mother, who suffered cuts and bruises. Both were treated by a police surgeon. LOUIE ROBBIA, projectionist, 312, Enid, Okla., is just out of the hospital after an operation. Local 312 has signed all the theaters for the season of 1927-'28. SLIM RICHARDSON. formerly in charge of the stage of the Rex Theater, Arkansas City, Kan., has been promoted to managership of the Strand and Rex theaters. John Fields, projectionist, who was in charge of the screen results at the Burford Theater, Arkansas City, for many years, is now working in the oil fields at Blackwell, Okla. BROTHER JOE CAMPBELL, stage em- ployee, Oklahoma City, is a very busy human these days helping locals sign their new contracts and organizing many new locals in this State. Guy Culver, formerly vice-president of the I. A., is in charge of the stage at the Shrine Au- ditorium, this city. HARRY JOHNS, salesman for a local theater supply house at Denver. reports very pleasing business in Colorado, many theaters being erected and new equip- ment being installed. Johns is a mem- ber of the Salt Lake City Projectionists local. TOMMY ANGLIN, projectionist, Den- ver, is in charge of the purchasing de- aaa of the National Theater Sup- ply CECIL WILLIS, projectionist, 380, Okla- homa City, is projectionist at the Cri- terion Theater. Jack Peyton, 380, is pro- jJecting pictures at the Isis Theater. S. ROBERTS, formerly projectionist at the Kansas Theater, Wichita, has re- cently gone to work for Walter Peck, a dealer in motion picture equipment, as salesman for Kansas. 22, 1927 43 Dr. Hartes Tarbell, inter- Rationaily ome of the world's Greatest magi- own.

In all this, there are times when both the players and the audience seem uncertain whether to take it straight or lauch it off, with the result that the piece is dull and ludi- crous when serious and a scream when burlesqued or treated as farce approaching heavy work is a yawn cept a ficht in a bedroom offstage which is cleverly shown to the house by shadows on the wall, and an exciting stick-up number in the last act > of the candy did a little ad lib. screeching at premiere The piece Burgess is excellent and scores in her which are numerous chewers down front is well acted Dorothy as the little heroine mock-tragic Altho from old scenes Virginny, someone fixes up a miracle so that she doesn't have to use a Southern accent, even if she is faithful to the annoving trick of saving “kerry” for “carry” and “merry” for after withstanding the sticking a South Brooklyn “marry”. But temptation of lingo on the leading woman, they weaken and rush in a cop with a begorrah grow] and expression and a slap on the leg. Thus handicapped, Edward Butler does a heroic job on the only synthetic part in the play. Oh, Peggy Allenby has rough going now and then in throwing the lifeline to her character, but wins the Carnegie medal in a walk except for a minute or two when she has to let her true self break thru the rough sur- face and be all tear stained and words- fail-me on the shoulder of the guy who couldn't keep from loving her for the last couple of hundred years or so thru situation after situation. This lad. tried and true, is represented by Ryder Keane who behaves a bit too guilty and self- conscious at that instant to help her much over this particularly high hurdle But maybe tiffness would thus be natural in a one-woman man, and he says himself that that is what he really is. But thruout the rest of the show, he is more than adequate Anyhow, everything ends great. be- cause each and all gets the w. k. just deserts The double-crossing villain. realistically played by Louis D’Arclay, is killed with his own gun (slugged. not plugged) by a literal cake-eater, Deen Cole, who is an excellent comic. The girl with the heart of gold gets a square deal from the square shooter and they certainly must live happily ever after if two and two meke four Pe all the other rough diamonds with hearts of gold pet their rewards right on 1 earth with only one of them having turn out to be the younger son of Lord Whatshisname.

They do what they can to sing, dance and play it, but it is a jumbled, cumbersome, uninteresting mess spread awkwardly over nine scenes, not counting a prolog and epilog. Mrs. Thomas Whiffen briefly contributes a flash of one sort of beauty and Berenice Ackerman, of the lovely eyes, supplies visible beauty of another sort. H. Reeves-Smith appears for one scene to show what good acting can do, and the team of Marguerite and Gill have Just enough opportunity to prove that a good majority of the audience appreciate their work. Considerable schottische and toe dancing is furnished by the troupe of Chester Hale Girls, but calls forth little enthusiasm. Gertrude Lem- mon also smiles thru a solo ballet of the conventional sort. Peggy O'Neill, Thelma Edwards, Kathryne Burnside and others dress things up a bit Peggy Whiffen does well with a minor characterization, John Hundley helps in the singing and in using up the grease paint, George Harcourt uses his fill lung power to make something out of the role of Mayor, and the rest of principals fill the wastefully drawn characters of the story. The pace of the show is draggy and the staging ungainly. Judicious cutting seems necessary, but were it once started it might be continued until there was nothing left of either the book or the score. GORDON M. LELAND.

Vocal Scenes From Little Russia Back for his fifth visit to these shores, Balieff presents an entirely new program of his Chauve-Sourts with the exception of one number, Lore in the Ranks, which has been refurbished and improved even over its past popularity There will be some who will miss fatinka and The Parade of the Wooden Sol but on the whole this year’s offering is equal to, if indeed it does not surpass, the old delights. Delights, that is, if you like the sort of entertain- ment given by this Bat Theater of Mos- liters, cow. Even if you are not one of those who are moved to ecstasy over a full evening of it, the 20 numbers are all savingly short this season and there are some at least which will appeal to respective taste The highlight for this reviewer is a strange and beautiful dancer, Tamara Geva, who is not only new to the troupe but new in everything she does. Her three numbers come under the pro- fessional classification of “unique and extraordinary” and, on the opening nicht, she drew forth cries of “bravo” from every part of the house. Angular and spasmodic in her every movement, in Romanesque she performs an un- usual and engrossing toe dance; in Grotesque Espagnol a Spanish dance that is different and decidedly modern, and in Sarcasm, to the harmonized discords of weirdest jazz, she interprets subtlest satires with acrobatic steps and postures that surpass in expressionism the jazz ballet, Skyscrapers, which once caused The Billboard, October 22. such a furor on the boards of our own Metropolitan. The only one to win more applause than Mile. Geva at the premiere was the moon-faced Nikita Balieff himself, who was given a welcome home that shook the rafters of the drafty Cosmopolitan He not only performed his duties of “stage autocrat” with the familiar pidgin English ballyhoo for each number, giv- ing inkling of its mood thru the shad- ing of his own gay solemnity, but he took delightful part with the aid of a battered hat or an absurd goatee in sev- eral of the scenes themselves and was as indescribably funny as ever for his first-night followers. The program alternates as of old be- tween “sad songs” and merry mockeries. This time it even takes a satirical dig at America with a rag-time thing called Where Is Our Meyer, Where’s Himalaya?, sung in a sort of Milt Gross dialect and Columbia Burlesque makeup. Under in- ducement from Balieff the audience catches it on the whistle right there in the darkened theater and it is sure to be carried out to the streets for annoy- ing repetition thruout the coming winter. The piece is a good plugger and its full value is realized thru good, if slightly old-fashioned, showmanship. One of the most artful achievements is The Passing Band in which a small- town crowd surges with the emotion of watching a regiment, done in clever cutouts, pass across the background. A reverent and impressive scene has been beautifully staged in The Calvary, and a burlesque parody of Verdi’s La Traviata, dedicated in good-natured raillery to Otto Kahn, stands out as one of the most amusing interludes. There is also a clever novelty in which members of the audience are given air rifles to take pot shots at The Shooting Gallery, a bull’s-eye setting off a spe- ciality or a sketch. The Abduction From the Seraglio is another delightful bit of foolery which is carried out in comic pantomime and Love Wares is a lightly humorous sketch participated in by the busts in a wig maker's shopwindow. The Pastrycook’s Wife is a lyrical skit that brings smiles and An Eighteenth Century Fan is this year’s substitute for the old Dresden pictorial eyefuls. Other numbers bring out the well- trained solo and choral singing, with the voices fully as rich as caused salvos in the earlier Chauve-Souris offerings There is A Russian Barcarolle, a French number called Returning From the War, Nellie Melba’s old Nightingale song, a group of Russian folk numbers and a vocal scene titled Round the Hay-Wain, in addition to the bits aforementioned, most of which are musically soothed. Little discrimination can be made of Balieff's capable artistes. They keep themselves subordinated always to the whole and compliment must therefore be paid in a single gesture to the troupe. The settings and costumes and stage movements are as colorful and bizarre as we have come to expect of these Russian pageants. Like the divertissements themselves, you either like them or you do not. There will un- doubtedly be enough appreciative patrons to keep the Cosmopolitan comfortably full for the limited engagement of four weeks. Chauve-Souris is booked to positively open its transcontinental tour November 6 at Polis Theater in Wash- ington, D. C. GORDON M.

Woods offers a passably 1927 47 endurable farce at the Ambassador Name and picture. however, are not much more indicative of the piece than was the single late-lamented crayon- barker of White Cargo, for which it did hot tho silent ballyhoo. A bed certainly present, and comes in very handy. In fact, it seems to be about everything except a matrimonial bed. it is so versatile. Anytime the dialog or action to run down why ft the bed! You can alway think up something to say or do in con- nection with that It comes in as handy as the pet poodle or little Oliver, aged four, when Cousin Sadie and the boy friend and six or eight neighbors are over for a Sunday evening and the con- versation lulls radio’s busted and the old man is still way back from the drug store with the ice cream. Since the bed is quite properly in the bedroom, it becomes necessary for this chamber to serve as detour for all main begins here's and the on his stem traffic This situation, as old as the memory of Joe Jefferson, is always annoving because it is basically artificial Why in the name of time is it necessary to go to such stilted, clumsy and entirely unnatural lengths to have everyone from servants to the old family friend go tramping thru meh-lady’s bou- doir just because the author wants to pull a few gags about a rest-bench The plot, if such be its label complicated. Since the whole point of the show is to get laughs, all these in- tricacies of theme might make you wish you'd gone to a burlesque show, where the fun is ladled out in plain, sensible style. Certainly you would not hear as many awful punsorasmany bewhiskered jokes as this matrimonial bed inspired But, to play square. neither would you find such lamentable lines handled so skillfully and commendably. John T Murray does a magnificent job with a mediocre part, and most of time makes the house believe that it 1s getting first grade material. Murray has a deft, light and fast style that is ideal for this sort of rescue work. He also has personality and carriage, and is very clever when he as the is pretty kids. He is a fine comic with his face, hands, body and in delivery. There is one episode that literally wows the house. and which will have much to do with the success of the piece. which, despite its flaws, should be popu- lar. This is the race between the two husbands (the second one and the one who was supposed to be dead) to see who would this bed first. They undress somewhat, amid much uproar on both sides of the footlights, and hurl themselves between the at the Same instant. Not a particularly funny idea, but so well done that it knocks them dead May Vokes does some good character work, but her part eventually palls. Lee Patrick is fair. None of the cast comes up to Murray, however Kenneth Hill, Lennox Pawle and Clay Clements give creditable performances. Kay Strozzi is cet in sheets handicapped by lines that are too long drawn out, and praiseworthy work is dcne by John Hendricks. Amy Dennis, Ruth Lyons and Fred Sutton BARCLAY V. McCARTY. The Springboard (Continued from page 11) The part charming and utterly is not an easy one an ease to it and a he has ever before achieved Elisabeth Risdon. whose acting can always be relied upon to stand out whether or not she has the leading role, makes much of a that might other- wise be inconsequential. Her perfect timing is particularly to be commended Walter Connolly plays a well-drawn op- posite to the husband in his original way that is most effective. and Mary Marble does a most amusing characteri- reviewer. of the utterly spoiled husband but Blackmer brings lighter manner than part zation of an Irish servant that is not burdened with a thick brogue. Adelaide Prince is creative of something more than the conventional mother-in-law and seems to breathe with real life Jane Houston, however, is more usual and according to type as a man-chasing widow. Other minor roles are well in the hands of John Maroney, Leslie Vir- den and Thaddeus Gray. The direction serves and the settings are up to P. Dodd Ackerman’'s standard with the ex- ception of those doors in the office scene i the crude manner in which the hangings are tacked up in the studio. A minor word of complaint must also be registered at the long wait between scenes one and two in the last act, but these matters may easiJy be corrected, GORDON M. LELAND.

Wesley Stout's “Tom” History Boston, Oct. 13, Editor The Billboard: I wish to enter a few words of praise and comment regarding Wesley Stout’s article on Uncle Tom’s Cabin which ap- peared in The Saturday Evening Post of October 8. Everyone 1927. who is interested in dra- matics in any way should read it. The rticle proves to be a wonderfully en- tertaining bit of historical data, upon which the author may justly be com- plimented. I believe mOmGTeS, the New England “Tom” manager he refers to is A. R Stover—inste oad of “A. B.”, as Mr. Stout has it I saw Stover’s “U. T. C.” in 1897. He was featuring Mattie Franks as Topsy. Mr. Stout touches on the present high license question in a man- ner that may be beneficial in the future. We shall see. OSCAR V. HOWLAND. NN South African Notes CAPETOWN, S. A., Sept.

The Billboard. October 22, 1927 S ~~ Conducted by JAMES R. HAWORTH Communications to 25 Opera Place, Cincinnati, Fairs and Expositions oO. Fine Prospects For Mobile Fair Altho work on the Mobile Fair, Octo- ber 31-November 6, got off to a la start, so much progress has been made in the last 30 days, according to Man- ager Mort L. Bixler, that the indications are thac it will be the biggest and best fair in the history of the Gulf Coast Since the last fair in 1923, says Mr Bixler, Mobile and the surrounding country have experienced the greatest development that has taken place in 25 years. Four years ago one could not Grive outside the boundaries of Mobile County without taking desperate chances. Now it is possible to drive in comfort 100 miles on the principal roads out of Mobile. The completion of the $2.000.000 bridge opens the wavy to a rich and populous country, the residents of which could not come to the fair in previous years because the principal railway would not run trains that would permit visitors coming to the fair and staying more than half a day. te The Mobile Bay Bridge Company h Just granted a one-toll charge for the round trip that opens the way for 150,000 people to come to the fair at reduced rates. Two of the railways en- tering from the North will run special trains at a very low rate. The Mobile County school board has declared a holiday on Tuesday for white children and on Friday for colored chil- dren. Every teacher and scholar in the Mobile trade territory in Alabama, Mississippi and West Florida will be admitted those days for 10 cents. The City Commission has declared a half holiday in the city on the opening day, which is Mobile Day, so that all the city employees will have an oppor- tunity to attend and to show that the city is sponsoring the fair. The entertainment program will be made up of a night horse show for two nights, and the Dutton combinatior, horse racing and fireworks, for four nights. The Zeidman & Pollie Shows will furnish the midway attractions, and the music will be by a 50-piece band locally organized. Alabama Colored Fair To Be Annual Event BIRMINGHAM, Oct. 15.—The first fair of the Alabama Colored Fair Association held at Fair Park here this ™ drew very good attendance. The association was recently organized with P. D. Davis, president; Anderson Jenkins, vice-presi- dent and treasurer; J. A. Jackson, man- ager, and S. E.

Fair Benefits From Higher Cotton Market MERIDIAN, Miss., Oct. 15.—The Mis- sissippi-Alabama Fair is another South- ern fair to benefit from the bright out- look attending the higher cotton market this year.

The crand-stand attractions were one of the big features of the fair, with the Dutton Circus Attractions furnishing their 14-act program and scoring nicely with every act. The big Dutton Eques- trian Revue was the outstanding feature of the show, and was exceptionally well received at each performance Idah Delno, the physical culture girl with the Duttons, made an e:cellent showing here, working her t with a local pageant iven under the di rection of H. C. Worth. Mr. Worth coached about 300 adults and : ms seems children for the pageant, billed as A Night in Fairyland, and used as a vehicle tion of the for the corona e “Queen of the Fair’.

The event here has been widely advertised as the Kaffir Korn Karnival and, as business condi- tions are good in Kansas excellent date is anticipated. The celebration is to be held on the street, where a gigan- tic arch of corn has been erected, under- neath which the Queen and her escort will ride to the coronation, which hap- pens Tuesday evening. The move here from Fulton, Mo., was the longest run of the season, the cara- van arriving in the early hours of Mon- day morni: necotiating the 400-odd miles in splendid shape. The final days of Columbia, Mo., were only fair. Mexico, Mo., under the Cham- ber of Commerce, was spoiled by cold and rain during the week, which kept the out-of-town folk on the absent list, and in a downpour the caravan loaded out for Fulton. The Fulton, Mo., date opened aus- piciously, but rain fell during the latter part of the week, spoiling what would otherwi se have been an excellent stand. The Kansas stands mark the final milestones of the season, and everyone is looking forward to the close, not far distant As yet winter quarters have not been definitely decided upon, but in all probability will be in the vicinity of Kansas City. The Royal American Shows will be represented by the entire executive staff at the Chicago eeting in November. W. X. MacCOLLiN.

84 count of the rainy weather last spring. Fred Keely, magician, was with our company this season, this making his third season with us. Mr. Keely will open his moving picture and magic show in Virginia this winter, which he has been doing for some winters back Met Sam (Doc) H. R. Brison and family, of the Keystone Show, also Pat Scanlon and the Musical Clearys, this past sea- son. They reported business fair in spots.” “THOUGHT I WOULD PASS this info along, as it may be of use to some one,” Ernest Downey, wire artist, volunteers from Joliet, Tll.: “Just received a letter from Frank C. Grimes, city tax collector for West Palm Beach, Fla., stating as follows: “The annual license fee for optical goods, knives, jewelry and similar articles, when sold from the stand, is $30. There has been no change in the amount this year. It makes no difference whether you manufacture the articles or not. The icense fee prescribed by ordinance is $30.’ Can anyone tell me the whereabouts and present address of Floyd Kerchner, wire artist?” NEWS OF THE DEATH of Albert A. Burkholder, the veteran pitchman, known in Indiana, Ohio and Pennsyl- vania as the “Mid-West Razor King” comes from Eutuck R. Lee, an intimate friend of the razorman, who recently passed his 69th year. Burkholder died at St. John’s Hospital, Anderson, Ind., from injuries received when he was struck by an automobile driven by a Lloyd Scott, 19, of Anderson, His skull was fractured and his left leg broken In default of $5,000 bond required of him Scott was committed to jail to await the inquest and a hearing in court. Hundreds of the boys who knew the many fine qualities of Al Burk- holder will mourn him. He was a squareshooter. LOOKING LIKE A MILLION DOLLARS, FE. S. Raggett, the “‘Tennessee live wire”, blew into Cincy last week, tarrying long enough to make a call at the Pipes, with the info that he has quit the pitch racket, for the present at least. Raggett was recently appointed special repre- sentative and field agent of the St. Joseph Pure Aspirin Company, with - headquarters at the factory in Memphis, * and is making a tour of the Middle West, putting agents in the field. “The pitch game was getting more and more difficult,” he said, “on account of the jamsters, who seem to think of nobody but themselves as they go about mak- ing a single killing that closes a town to all the squareshooters following them in. I'd like to be here to see what the convention is going to do about it, but T must keep on the run. This is my busy season.” HERE IS A TIP from Tom Kennedy, if you contemplate making Columbus, O. Tom pipes: “A couple of fellows rented a store on High street, near Broad, week of October 3, for $10 aday One handled ‘tie forms, the other had health books. One day was enough for them. They told me they just broke even. I got a doorway the following day at $7.50 a day. Two days was enough forme This spot is one of the busiest in Columbus, but there seems to be no money there at present. And this was the only doorway in the down-town section that could be rented Contrary to the info recently given about Newark, O., at $3 a day, the reader costs $15 a year. That is what the Mayor and chief-of-police told me yesterday. Delaware, O., is $3 a day, on corners. A good play Saturday afternoon and night.” CHARLEY BOYLE, piping from Provi- dence, R I., makes this report on the Brockton (Mass.) Fair: “So far as I could see, and from my own experience it-was a bloomer The crowd was there, but no money. Concessions and pitch- men will not pay any income tax on what they turned up Attendants on many concessions spent their time read- ing papers and smoking while the peo- ple walked up and down the midway just looking around. One fellow who had been at Revere Beach, Mass., all summer told me that this was the first fair he had made this season nd may be the on st. I stuck around for a couple of hours and saw this conce a balloon racket, take in $1.50.

Best regards to Jimmie White and Jim Boyd.” “THIS COMPLETES « a two weeks’ busi- ness course in Akron, O., and they've got to go some to beat it,” Zip Hibler, the poet-pitchman, pipes from that town October 11. “The Knights Templars are holding a three days’ convention,” Zip goes on,” and the city isresplendent with flags and bunting. There are 15,000 knights in attendance. On account of Cleveland being so close and Akron so liberal a city, one would naturally think that the city was flooded with pitch- men. However, the only ones I’ve seen are Fred Webber, with pens; Flip Jen- nings, with razor paste, and a woman working corn salve in a drugstore win- dow. Which goes to show that the boys are not imposing upon the hospitality of Mayor Rhybold and Chief Durkin. It is good to hit a liberal town. I wish there were more like it. Show me a hostile administration and envious mer- chants, and I'll show you a no- good town.” “THAT CRAZY IRISHMAN”, Jay Poland, shoots from Dayton, O.: “Had the pleasure of meeting here at the Antler Hotel Mrs George Wine, widow of Dr. Wine, and her son, Jack, 6 years old Jack made pitch in the hotel lobby for me. Met Doc Barnes and brother last evening Several of the boys drop in ork a fe days and leave As they dr well, stop at good hotels and eat regularly they must be doing well.

I found him to be well informed and a recular fellow I like the Sidenbergs I Have Met are authentic.” Sid's series of Pitchmen always interesting and NEW ENGLAND JACK MURRAY is peeved over some of the criticisms directed at him. He argues that every- thing he has ever d about himself and his abilities is justified by the showdowns he has made of actual ac- complishments. Jack admits he thinks well cf himself “If a fellow doesn’t. how can he expect anybody else to orem a of him?” he asks. Then he ubmits his own estimate of himself “for the benefit of whom it may con- cern” and othe “New England Jack Murray is a marvel of modern times He is pacifically inexhaustible He touches the tip of the top in human anatomy. Never before has the world seen his like and never again will it see the like of this criterion who makes everything else on earth look like a piece of stale cheese inhabited by a skipper army. He handles the people like a modeler handling clay. He writes with his fingers and stands on his toes, and everyone knows him wherever he goes They know that he knows and that when he infoes—O suffering croco- dile there're kicks in his Mows.

J., comes from that town, this one from Ben Ellison, the sharpener man. Ben pipes: “Never have I been handed a rawer deal than I got here in my 12 years on the road.” He says he got his reader from the city license clerk, paying $12. He was told he could not work on such principal streets as Market and Main, so he opened on the egetable market stem. The _ license clerk, he approved the locat After he had worked an hour a motor cop sloughed him He complained to the chief of police, who gave him no satis- faction. The license clerk told him he could do nothing for him and said he had no authority to return the money paid for license. Ben made an effort to see the Mayor, but failed. “So I was stuck for the $12,” Ben writes. “Never was there a time when a strong organi- Ssavs, ion vation was so much needed as now Local officials in many places are taking the bread out of your mouth, boys We must stand up for our rights, be- cause we are being treated as criminals are treated.
