DECISION DOES NOT AFFDCT CASE
At the law oOires of Dess Sc Kahn, attorneys for the pla.ntffa, it was claimed that the decision of Justice Delchauty does not in any way affect or determine the merita of the case. Altbo the attorneys refused to say whether Or not ·hey h»d lieen Instructed to exercise their right to try the ease in open court, it nnderatood that such procedure will In all prot>ability bt' resorted to.
"Judge Delchanty's decision upon the tempo¬ rary Injunrtion does cot in any way affect or determine the merits of the case," said Lawyer Kahn.
"The real object of this action as wo are in structed by our clients, and with which we are personally in complete sympathy, is to see tliat tbia money goes to the actors. Until that is ac¬ complished wc shall not desist in our efforts nor leave any stone nnturnod to acconiplisb this purpose, and the resources of the law are by Do means yet exhausted."
IHEARING REFOIIE JUSTICE DELEHANTY When on Weilnesday of last week argument
for an<| against the granting of an injnnction was heard before Jnstlee lielehanty, in Ei]ulty term of the Supreme Court. Lawyer Kahn de¬ clared that the offleerH of the defendant eorporationi had no right to vote to donate the money in question without consent of the stockholdeis. He stated that the beneflidary of the performances was a luicial club, known as the N. V. A., Inc., w-itb wliieh the oSi'-era of Hie d-ferdant coriioratlons were affiliated as memtx rs of the V. M. I*. A.
He asserted that to turn over the moneys :n question wouid t<e illegal and a violation of the corporate charter rights of the defendant corporations would work injury to many persons bolding stock in both the Orpheum and Loew circuits.

This Is Music Week at the Palace. To mark the occasion Fred Daab and his orchestra contributed more than their usual quota of false notes. Charles D. Isaacson, editor of "Our Family Music" page of The New York Globe and a special contributo" to The Billboard, was the speaker. He echoed the sentiments voiced on several occasions in these columns as to music and its potency as an entertainment factor. "Music is the greatest en¬ tertainment God has given man," Mr. Isaacson declared. There is no de¬
act, one of the pair playing tlie piano and do¬ ing the nut stuff and the otlier straight. These bo.vg need only tlie spark of genius to be head¬ lined, as they have a nifty line of songs and deliver them well. A little more dash, more orig¬ inality and they will clean up.

came next. Clare Kummer is responsible for th's sketch. There Is some¬ thing strongly reminiscent about "The Choir Rehearsal." VTe wouldn't be surprified if it wasn't some relation to "The Lights of Duxbury,'' a three-act comedy by the same author, which enjoyed ever so short a run last season. There is some rather good singing in the sketch.
Next came Jack Rose, and the cyclone of applause broke. As usual Jack destroyed a half score or more straw top pieces and acted for all the world as if the prop trees were full of squirrels It was the crowning hour of his career. Hurrah for Jack Rose! He's great!
Seldom outside the walls of our lecitimate playhouses does one see so excellent a sketch as "The Gossipy Sex," which came next. Let it be said at the start that It is not a sex play in the generally accepted sense of the word, not b.v a long shot. "The Gossipy Sex" is a cleverly written, cleverly acted playlet, with clean, wholesome dialog and diverting situation. It Is a satirical gem. Robert Emmet Keane, who heretofore has been hiding his light under a bushel as a monologist, shone forth in the title role. Claire Whitney also displayed no mean histrionic prowess.
Taxie, the canine thespian, hit the applause meter a wallop following in¬ termission, in a novelty playlet, in which he is supported by his trainer, Ed Allen. The latter is a veteran of the big top and one of the foremost animal men in the country. This act is, without doubt, the best "dog" turn in vaude¬ ville It was a decided applause hit on Monday afternoon.

It has been suid that Sarah I'udricii is one of the few actreaseg in vaudeville to maintain a lieadllne iioeitiun wiili a dramatic sket< li. Whether nr not ehc will lontiiiue to maintain that iioeition with her iireM-iit elarnng vebh lc is problematical. It is s trite, jMiurly con¬ structed and iKKirly acted akeiib of the |>ennydrcsdful type, called "I'uftiug It Over." ``I'lilting It 0\er is good," but we doubt if any first class stidiencp will stand for it.

The action lakes iilai-e in a hotel bedroom and Ims all to do with a young lady wlio has eommitted murder to save her brother, and who seeks succor from the occupant. The latter, it de. velnpg, is the son of the isiliee commissioner, and a friend of the murderrss' hrother. In a longwinded rx|>lanatiin of the crime, the girl disi'loNes that the deed was done in self defense. The young mao then confesses that he loves her, and being impi'lled by a strong sense of duty he sentences her to life--a life of wedlock
or one thing we are sure, the author who committed this atrui'iuus sketch should be aenteneed for life, or at least placed under observation. There Is no denying that Miss Padden is an actress of excellent histrionic prowess, but even a very exceileut actress can¬ not liu|ie to put over material which lacks even semblance of merit. The less said about the su|ii)urtiug company the better.

She is a sweet, unsnpliisticated looking little lady, who ought to be in boarding acbool, or some equally safe place. Sbe aurely does not belong in vaadcville. It Is true she has talent. But It is talent of the parlor entertainment or church sociable order. Bhe dances prettily, bat not cleverly; she sings fairly, but not ingratiatingly. Ilowever, Florence is not all to blame.

Chicago, April 12.--J. C. OTSr.nnell. f'hicf of
the Bureau of Fire I'rcvcntion and riibllc

a communication of inten-st to actors, read¬
ing as follows:
Ii.-ar Sir: Your attention is .-alle'l to paragraph (r) .'4
of the City Ordiiian-e go.eiiiiug this Bureau,

"So scenery, draperies or stage parapher¬

We are experiencing considerahle trouble with

of fire-resisting snliiiions would he ruinous.
Some years ago wc adopted a compromising
rule to tliu

liaving tliose il.-liouie fabrics treated directly
with fire-resisting solution, we would accept
and pass them if fully barked witli a denim ha. king thoroly tr.-ate.l us re.jnired for or¬

These acts are li.Hik.d into some of our
Cliii-ago theaters, prin.-iiially In vaudeville
houses, some for a week and some for only a
few days. It seems a hardsliip after their
arrival, apparently in ignoram-e of our laws
and regulations, to require them to do one of
four things, namely: Kitlier fireproof the
fabrics; provide llie firepr.iof.-d ha.-klng; show
with house or homwed scenery, or cancel their

VIOLA TREE'S REVIVAL OF "THE VICAR OF WAKEFIELD"
Altho Goldsmith's story was first published In 1706, the first dramatic version did not see stage production until IMft. since when there have b«'en many veralons. Including two operatic ones, the most celebrated being the four-act version by W. <i, Willla, wbica was produced by the John Hare management at the Court Theater March 30. 1879. In this Ellen Terry was the Olivia. Herman Voiln the I>r. Primrose. William Terris, Rqnire Thognhlll. and Norman Forbes the Moses. When Henry Irving revived It at the Lyceum on May 29. 1881, he played the Vicar, with Ellen Terry repeating her former suer-ess, with Terris and Norman Korhes In their original parts aud Winifred Emery as Fophia. The latter is now playing In "The Betrothal" at the Gaiety Theater, and it ia curious to remcni1u>r that the also played the Olivia In October, 1881. and that Gladys Cooper, who is now playing the fsl-wnrd-cum-thrf-e hours' show in "The Betrothal" at the Gaiety, will be the new Olivia. Norman Forbes is the new Vicar.

The suggestion that pic¬ ture entertainments should be given on the off afternoons has Is-en turned down as a kind of a eacrilege--l.ut altho that may he--wh.-it shout Hammersteln'a Opera House In lamdonT That was going to beat I-ond<.n like Hammeistein d d with the Manliattau Opera House, only poor Oscar re<-okened without the puli of the I.ondon Sm iety.

MOU.NTKORD SAYS CAST; NOT ENDED
Harry Mountford, when seen at the office of
the American Artistes' Federation, of which be Is executive secretary, said; "This is only preliminary. It was an application for a pre¬ liminary injunction, and It Is but the first step.
"The actors must remember that an applica¬ tion for an injunction is but the first step towards a trial,, and if Messrs. Hess & Kahn, my attorneys, decide to try this in open court, or if they decide to appeal it, or if they decide to transfer the case to the Federal Courts, one of the many avenues which are open to them, I can promise the readers of The Billboard some ex traordinary disclosures.
"Up to the present this action has achieved all I set out tu obtain. It has driven the fierce light of publicity on this affair and has given us much ground work ard ammunition for fur¬ ther battle.
"The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. And In spite of thonsards of dollars spent In advertising and of letters written by foolish actors to obtain the last three days of next week, the cam¬ paign will go on.
"It Is very gratifying and It would sur¬ prise some actors if they could see the hundreds of letters In my mall, applauding and en¬ couraging me in the position I have taken in this crasade."

neck waa rut rather low, so that a good part of the blouse worn underiieatb showed. The skirt

During tbe war period Mra. Blcharda continued
to preaent. thru tbe All-Star Course, excellent

A SPECIAL ART
k Fashioning of Librettos
Good and Sufficient Reason for General Weakness, Says Charles Pike Sawyer
Charles Plk* Sawyer recently published some very pertinent paragraphs in tha New Vork Evening Post about musical comedy librettos. Mr. Sawyer, as always, speaks with a great deal of sense on the aubject and with no little feeling. All who have the musical stage in tbrlr mind and hrarlH deplore the vapidity of the average librello and anything that will bring about the writing of better ooea la worthy of atieniiun. Mr. Sawyer saya:
"Much has lieen written about the general weakness--to say the least--of the libn-itos for operettas Hilliert ia dead and has left no accessor. Perhaps, however, there la good and uQlcieot reason fur this weakness. A wall from the afflicted makes it appear sa `1* U the critical fashion,' one says, `to trr. * tbt alary of every light opera or musical comedy with coiitennit. as tbo the author were a dramatist pure and simple, working In the comparatively free conditions of the dramatist, and to be blamed lievause be does not attain to the dramaiisi's reaulta. But the cocditiont nnder which the siory of a musical play has to be designed are by no means free.
'' `In the first place, it is aometbing written for singers and with notion suitable for ac¬ companiment by song. That makes it a special art, at any one will discover who aits down to fit words to a simple music ball dltiy. Tlivn the action must be devised aud the words chosen to suit the idlosyncratiea of the tingers concerned. Tbo whims of the star must be kept In mind. She must have the most conplcoous entrances and exits, to'.ot at the right moment and opportunities for rest between them.
" `Tbat'a only the beginning, and by the time the star baa been auiied, if the librettii-t hat any brains left, the oiliera must be served. The comedian mutt have his due, and so must the tenor, and others in the cast who have a ''puU.'' Then the stage manager comes In. The story must admit of the fre,|ucDt in¬ vasion of the chorus, which must not he kept waiting too long In the wings, and they must hive time out to change costumes, perhaps half a dozen times. The wonder of it all is not that librettos are so unsatisfactory as a role, but that they are written at all.'
"Which la all very well in its way, hut doea any librettiat believe that stars, come¬ dians, tenors, or stage managera ever tor¬ tured Gilbert? Il'i dollars to doughnuts that DO Diemliera of a comi>any drilled by that great librettist ever dared to bat an eyelash. The operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan were written, and the actors and singers had to fit them--it was up to them to do as they were told or ijult, and there is no record of quitters. Some day. perhaps, another pair will appear on the scene and operettas will be written, and produced as written, and the

Gus Hill is giving New Yorkers a chance to
see his brand of ultractiuns by bringing in 'Bringing Up Father .\t The Seashore." It Is
a hokum musical comedy with a lot of langUs
and is god value for the admission price. The
book is an isld-Iot assortment of time-tried
material and is. for t!ie greater part, well
handled by the plu.vers.

CHORUS EQUITY NEWS
Seventeen new members Joined the ChOTM Equity in t.'io past week.
The New Vork `'Irene" cliorua is eighty pe* cent Equity. As both of the road companies of "Ireno" are one hundred per cent we hope to have the same report tu make for the New York production soon.
The "It's Up to You" chorus is one hundred per cent Equity.
In last week's deputy report the statement was made that the Equity Annual Show would bo given at the Manhattan Oiiera House. Thl* was an error. The show will be stagi-d at the Metropolitan Opera House, as It was last year.
The diqiuties of tlie iniisicul comedy com¬ panies now playing in New lork have lieeo. asked to convey the invitation of the enter¬ tainment committee to all Chorus Equity members in their companies to take part in the annual show. If, for any reason, tho deputy does not get anmnd to you i-ome to this office apd give your name as one who is Willing to serve anyway. The show is tor the benefit of your organization and anything that helps the organization lieliis you. Every chorus girl and l>oy in New York should bo in the show.
A certain manager who puts out practically all one night stand rompauies boasted that he was going to lia'e a liundrisl per cent nonEquity chorus. In some way he managed to do it. A short time ago the production got near enough New York to get a notice In the New York papers. It wasn't exaelly on Broadway but it was near enough. Gne paper said, "This company reminds yon of the old burlesque days when no girl was too old, too homely or had too bad a voice to get in the chorus." This Is tha best the manager could do when he got a non-Eqiilty cboros.
You have only two more weeks In which to vote on the Equity shop. If you have not yet sent in your ballot do so at once.
\Ve are bolding checks for Miss Vivian West, Doris Warner. Violet Winter, Anna Crawford, Evelyn Warr and lone Ritchie.
How many Chorus Equity members have yoo In your company? What are yoa doing to

MORE mVITS AND THEIR LESSONS
The facts revealed in the answering affidavits in my action for injunction against the Loew Circuit and the Orpheum Cir¬ cuit to prevent them from paying over the proceeds of the socalled National Vaudeville Artists' Matinees are of such inter¬ est for the Vaudeville Actor and Vaudeville Actress that I am going to quote at some length to show them what is really occurring.
As all those who studied the article of mine in The Bill¬ board called "IN IIIS TRUE COLORS'' know, the so-called National Vaudeville Artists' Matinees were given because of a resolution passed by the V. M. P, A. on April 17, 1020, which resolution states that ALL receipts of the theaters on the second Friday of April of each year should be turned over to the National Vaudeville Actors' Benefit Fund.
t showed and proved by_ means of quotations from sworn testimony in the Federal Investigation that the N. V. A. Benefit Fund was administered by Messrs. Casey, Goodman and Mur¬ dock.
Several Actors have written to me, stating that they can't believe it and asked for more proof. Here it is in a quotation from the lease agreement between the National \'audeville Artists, Inc., and the 220 West 4f)th Street Corporation of which Mr. J. J. Murdock is the President and about which Mr. Ches¬ terfield, Secretary of the N. V. A., swore that in his dealings with it the only persons he dealt w-ith were Mr. Albee and Jilr. Goo<lman.
". . . Tho Vaudeville >IanaRei"s* Protective Association hereinbefore referred to. having heretofore mnnasred and condiii'tetl u benetlt theatrical iHTforinance for the b<`nefit of the lessee, tlirouirh which iw'rforinance CI-M{T\rX AlONKYS WKKF KXISI.D AXI> WHICH AHF XOW HKLD BY SAID Y.WDKYII.I.F MAXAGFItS* I'KOTFCTIYF. AS.«!0. CIATIOX AS Fl'XD . . . and Intending to conduct and manage other theatrical performances for the lu'ncflt of the lessee (the N. Y. A,), from which further sums are exp<'<ted to 1x5 raised, it Is mutually agreed that . . . for any purpose hereunder, the said lessor (229 West Forty-sivth Street Cor¬ poration) win resort to the fiimls In tlie said X. Y. A. I>eneflt fund and the same .shall be used and devoted to such other purposes, and the lessor (THF: 229 WFST IfiTH STHFFT COUPORATIOX) is hereby authorized, empowered and dlre<ted to HUAW YPOX SA11> X. Y. .\. BFXFFIT FFXl) FOB THF I'l'BPOSFS. In addition, of the purchase of any fnipplles, liquor, cigars, cigarettes, or any other articles or things."
This lease containing this contract and agreement is signed by the N. V. A. and the 229 West 46th Street Corporation by their different officers.
This conclusively shows that the V. M. P. A. handles the monev from all the.'^e benefits.
The affidavits made in this action reveal figures which will be startling to the .Actors.
Mr. T.eopold Friedman, an attorney and the Secretary of the Loew Circuit, swears as follows:
"The resolution passed on .Xpril 17, 1920. As a result of
that rt'soliition there was paid by the (icfpndant Comp.-iny to
the X. Y.
... all of the re<vlpts of vaudeville theaters
etuilrolhMl by It on the day set aside In 1920 by .sjtld resolution,
approvimatcly tlvc sum of $«..a00.00."
T want cverv \'audevillc Actor and .`\ctress to see the full force of that. The Secretarv of the T.oew's Circuit swears that ALT. THE receipts OF AT.T. the T.oow's Circuit of that Friday in 1020 were approximately the sum of $6.3(30.
·Another attorney. Mr. Benjamin B. Kahane, is the Secre¬ tary-Treasurer of the Orpheum Circuit. He swears:
. . o%vners of Yaiidollle Tlteaf«*rs have ngre***! to de¬ vote and donate THF FXTIHF HI TFIPTS for the performaiu'e to ghen at the various TheaPTs ownu^l hy them. . . .
``That the aggregate amount «loiiated hy the various i'or|>orallonH «>p<'rating ThiNifers that ·ompose the OrplM'um FIreidl from the lienetit performanee given In .Xpril, 1920, W.\S M'S.S THAN SIO.OOO."
*`Tl»e amount exixxded to be «loii,'it»'d from the Itenefit I*erformanee (of tbe Orplienm Clreull) on A|>rll 8fb. 1021. will not exeee<l tids amount nn<l from present Indications will In all probability be less tban S7.a00.00."
T want cverv A'andcvillc .Actor and .Actress to sec the full force of that. The Sccrctarv-Trca'^nror of the Orphenm Cir¬ cuit swears that .AT.T. the receipts of .AT T. the Orpheum Thea¬ ters of that Friday in T020 were less tlian Sio.cxDO, and tliat Friday, .April 8, will only bring $7.5(30.
To make it more simple: The receipts of all of Loew's Theaters and all the Orpheum Theaters in the United States and Canada on the second h'riday afternoon in April, 1920, ac¬ cording to the sworn testimony of their Secretaries and Treas¬ urer. were not $16,300.
If U makes the Actors of this country laugh, as much a,s it made me, when I read that, this is the biggest laugh of the year, so far.
Of course, Pat Casey had to swear to an affidavit. He refers at length to the \Vhite Rats' Strike of 1917, and then `Swears that "since the strike the relation between them (them, being the X'audcville Managers and Vaudeville Artists) has been more harmonious.''
r'ven Casey admits that the strike brought about harmonious relations, though Casey's idea of harmonious relations is not exactly my idea.
And of course Henry Chesterfield had to swear to an affi¬ davit and in his affidavit I find the following paragrapTi:
`Tie furtber state*? that there Is no alllanee tHTw-i'cn the X'. V. -X. and an organization known as the X'. >1. I*. .X."
Well, a great deal depends on what you call an "alliance." Mr. Chesterfield testified in the Federal Investigation that the money to start the X. A'. A. was borrowed from the Vaude¬ ville Managers' Protective Association and the figures prove that the N. V. A. still owes money to the V. M. P. .A. We all know that the nominal officers of the N. V. A., Ed¬ ward Davis, President, and Chesterfield, Secretary, do not con¬ trol the organization of which they are the chief officers. To those who know this fact but will not admit it, let me quote a letter of Mr. Albee to some Actors, dated March 16, 1921, (not one month ago).
These are exact quotations from Albee's letter:
``.March 16. 1921. `·X'our letter received. ... `·Having iK'cn delegated to represent the V'aiidevlIIe Afanagers' Protective .\'*so<`latlon and with the work of the X'ational Yandeville Artists. Ine., at tlie present time essentiully In niy care, . . . ".'Some people say. `Is this an artists* <`hib and Is It run hv artists?*. I will sav to yon frankly.XT TIIFI PHKS*FXT TIMF. IT IS BFIXG HUX BY ALBEE."--(.Signed) E. F. .MJIFF..
Mr. .Albee says that he has been delegated by the Vaude¬ ville Managers' Protective .Association, and that he is running tlie N. y. .A. Now if he is running it, of what use are the Presi¬ dent and Secretarv, Chc.sterficld. except as a camouflage, except to conceal from 'the public THE FACT THAT THIS AC¬ TORS' ORGANIZATION (?) TS RON BY A MANAGER?
There are a lot of other amusing statements in Mr. .Albee's last letter which I will take up later on, as space forbids just now.
If these benefits were really for the benefit of the .Actor, I would sav nothing, hut they are merely to keep the Actor in a state of content. .Assuming that the entire amount of $16,300 is carried as an insurance fund, how much protection does that provide for the Actor?
The only insurance that is worth a moment's thought is where the Actor insures himself, where the Actor takes care of himself.
"Heaven helps those who help themselves," not those whom Albee helps.
The only way the .Actor can help himself is hy helping other .Actors. The only way he can insure his profe"'ion and himself while he lives is by joining the AM1?RICAN ARTISTES' FEDFR.ATTON.
The only way he can insure himself when he dies is by joining an Inmrance Society. The Equitable, The Mutual, The Postal, The Fidelity, The Travelers, The New York I.ife, etc., etc., are all good Insurance Societies when yon die.
The onlv Insurance Societv for the Actor while he lives is the AMERICAN ARTISTES' FEDERATION.

Jack Robbins, professional manager for tbe Richmond Music Company, is a good Judge of popular songs, and is always on tbe lookout for hits. He picked and made "Tell Me" and "Smiles." and put Lee Roberts on tbe musical map. When Robbins takes a number, be doesn't care if all the publisbera in tbe world have already turned it down.

Why, Ob why, can't they stick to the front or mone.T end and keep their managerial ( . » noses out of things way beyond their tinderstanding? Keep at them until yon can get under their thick skulls to stick to their "last" and give a free hand to the experts in charge of their respective departments.

nineteen. Nolhc we said he stuek to his job --
that la one of his greatest cbaraeteriatics. He
sticks to whatever he sets out to do until if is
done or until he sets to work to do something
bigger and greater.
When a mere lad working in the coal pH lie
had that inborn desire to do and make more
of himself. He spent bis idle moments in study
and contemplation, lie patronized those places
where the mind is cultivated and the spirit
stimulated. He heard lyceum lectures and mu-

and, aa he threw himself into the work of min¬
ing coal, be dreamed of the time when he could
help bring pleasure and profit to others by
getting back of the better things that need
help, lots of hard work and some financial
assistauce. That is what put Andy Anderson

IMr. Hardy, in putting this course over. se. cured the co-operation of every institution civic, religious and educational--in thcentirecity. ITls I.yeeum eommittee was made up of one representative from each lodge, church. City Council, Board of Education, Chamber of Com

civic organization on rocord aa favoring the
course snd put them hack of it to such a de¬
gree that the course simply could not fail. Nht
only that, but it gave birth in that city to
the community idea and a community elnh has
recently been organized whose purpose is to
co-ordinate the interests of every element In

Mr. Hardy has recently resigned the pastorate
and for the next few years will give his en¬

lecturing irpon the subject of Community and

near ^^r. Haffel--There are lota of readers of The Billboard outside of the theatrical pro¬ fession. I am one of them. I am also a mem¬ ber of the American Ix-gion.
I read in The Billboard yonr criticism of an act that was presented at the Palace Theater. New Yor'g. called the "Yip Yip Yap Hankers," in which .voii insinuate that war plays are passe., I beg to differ with you and your criti¬ cism; 'the way it is worded it is a direct slam against the boys who fought and bled for YOU over there. It is all in the point of view. Yon have a right to your opinion, hut if is ON'B MAN'S OPINION. 1 do not believe that it Is the right opinion and I be¬ lieve m.v brothers will coincide with me in my views on this subject I especially (dtject to that part of .vour criticism remling "A per¬ former in army nnlforin being the signal for wild applause has long since passed. Now please let me ask yon some questions.
Vre WE. who spilled our life's blood, to beso soon forgotten?
Do yon realise that WE. who have served over there and suffered, have that human weak¬ ness to brag about onr exploits, r'cife our narnow escapes, glory in onr conquests, and. when we go to a theater with our parenta. friends, sweethearts o'* relatives and see a play that brings these scene* to them, swell mi with pride? \iid it gives ns a ihanre ti> Ihe oxer again the most awful, fascinating, dangerous and natriotle period in our lives. Should this he taken awny from us hy stieh rrltlcs as yon?
Tlie tales of war are never passe to the old veteran of the civil war. Neither is It a here to the friends, sweethearts, parents nnd relatives of the bov who has gone thru the WOHI.n'S C.HFATEST WAR.
T have not se,'n "Yip Yip Tap Hankers'' They may hear erltielsm of the proper sort. .Ml 1 ohject to Is fho wording of your erifleism. which is to say the least, a slight upon the heroes who de-erve more consideration for the suffering they have gone thru.

Manistee, Mich. Editor The Blllhoard;
Tn S' nniilng tlie "Open T.etters'* column T itotIc,.il an article which was pnhllshed In ··Tavern Talk." a hotel Journal, headed: "Show people hnrt hotels."
I have been In Ihe theatrical hiisiness for some time and have always stood for Ihe bet¬ terment and npllft of the profession nnd I feel what I write Is not a "knock" hnt a gentle
reminder to those whom the shoe (Its. The writer of the article is not altogether wrong in most of his statements. I know of many instances that arc Just as he says they are.
How often have I heard some member of the profession come into the office of a hotel and iiak (not in an undertone): *'What's your theatrical rate?" or ("What rate do you glxe the profession?" Not giving a thought to the fact that there are half a dozen or more saleainen in the office who arc paying the regular price and not getting a rate.
I'liis ia the one thing th/lt "cheapens" the profi'Hsiim in the eyes of many a hotel mana¬ ger us well as the hotel guert, whether he be salesman or otherwise.
ITien again I ask any real honest performer who hat been with an organization where some lad.v and soiiielinies a gentleman carries a pel, gciierall.v a d"g. The hotel man who believes in sanitation and hygiene will perlnps say (not always in a polite manneri; *`\Ve do not allow diats in the riHims." But Mr. or Mrs. Artist grabs "il'ido" or "Ciitie'' hy the collar, chucks him in the do-g basket or grip and does a monolog free of charge for the benefit of the guests, ending up with: "If y.iu can't keep the dog In the room with me, you ran't keep me," or something to that effect.
Vow if these self-same people who carry dogs and other pets were lo ask some one where they could find a hotel and this part.v directed them to a dog-kennel, they would feel very much ns If they had been insulti-d Yet they wish to turn the hotel into a dogkennel. I pm very fond of dogs personally, but If I ever cared to carry a dog 1 should most assuredly ask the hotel if I could keep him in a store room or some fit place for animals.
Thc^ we do have the class who eiK,k, eat and sleep in their rfH«ms iiind tliey do it on the hotel proprietor's gas or ,`Ieetrieity). Many times have I wandered down the hall and called on Mr. and Mrs. A -tor who were busily engaged cooking cabbage on tlielr trunk. Y'es. I might add on several tieeasioiis I have had the privilege to look in these rwuis when they had departed nnd oh! what a lovely, dlrt.v me-'S one would find.
I might also add that the disappearance of towels and sometimes silverware hnpp,'ns to be an art with some of our fellow-arlisis (?( performers (?) and actors i ?). .An-itlier thing, have you ever (perhaps your hearing is badi heard the company coming in tlic licit,d after the show? Tliere are a few people who pay the regular rate and want to sleep a hit and get their mone.v's worth. But oh, such a noise and general racket. Enough to rouse the dead from their slumbers. This class seem to think if the.y are not so noiay some people might not suspect that they are in the theatrical pro¬ fession.
Igistly, but not least, the "three sheeter" who continually talks .shop so loud that every, body knows be Is an artist (?i. actor (?). performer <?).
I.«t ns form clubs or little "gangs" on th( yarions shows or attractions and make it a rule to try and be a credit to the profession by stamping out these evils (and they do exist).
I trust that I will not be misunderstood In any manner. I do not approve of the ·'Tavern Talks" artieles or rather their method of di¬ rectly insulting the profession, hut every hon¬ est fellow actor or artist will agree that such cases do exist.
1 also wish to thank Mr. Uamphell for the stand he takes and for his friendship toward the profession.
Yours for a clean, upright, honest and admlf* able profession.

MUSICAL MUSINGS

eemed to consider it a trivial matter. On
one occasion, when I Joined a show band--now
this is almost unliellevable--I found part of the
hand In high pitch and i art in low. And they
had been playing that way all season np to
the time I Joined. The manager fold me hi*
band was awfully bad, hut he didn't know whar
the trouble was, tnl asked me to "try end
straighten it ont a Httie." Well, helieve It or
not. three of the home were in low pitch, four
of them were In high, and the baritone, a good
musician, was Just between. "Tried to meet
them half way," he said. Well, we had to
do a little amputating of pipe on some horns,
had to get the clarinet out down by a gun¬
smith and then we sounded pr-'tty go's!. The
manager, Mr. Teagarden a fine ol.I man, came
to me a few days later and s.ald: "Mr. Ee'er
son. yon have made a wonderful improvement in
my band. How In the world did you do HV"
'.'No trick at all." was my answer. **I Just

The editor can not undertake to return un¬ solicited manuscripts. Correspondents should keep copy.
The Billboard reserves the right to edit all advertising copy.
So ran the headlines on t!ie series of adverti.sements which were re¬ cently run in most of the theatrical trade papers in an endeavor to hold Mr. Mountford up to the scorn and reprobation of vaudeville artists.
Did the advertisements accomplish their purpose? We think not to any ver.v great or wide extent, because the vaude¬ ville artists of America are too well informed on the whole, and because, furthermore, they have of late formed the habit of thinking things over carefull.v and logically before jumping to conolusions. The thinking artists will .say to themselves: ``.Xdvertisomonts. eh? Ads must ho paid for Wlio pai<1 for these? Why?" And the answer must be that the ads were written, inserted and paid for by .some per¬ son or persons who had something to gain in thus attempting to dis¬ credit Mr. .Mnuntfortl and direct against him the execration and de¬ nunciation of the profession. That alone would be sufficient to give the judicious artists pause and send them scurrying after the real facts, and, as a matter of facL that is exactly the manner in which the great majority of them reacted to the advertising onslaught. And what did they learn? Simply that Mr. Mountford had pulled and successfully put over another stunt! As the nature of the coup dawned on them, as they gradually dis¬ cerned the real motives that prompted it and realized what It promiBed, their criticism ceased, their impatience was dissipated, their faces lit up with understanding which rapidly changed into admiration. His devoted and unquestioning followers, his proponents who accept his doctrines but reject his leadership, that considerable contingent that is willing to be shown, and even many of his out-and-out opponents, with one accord, all united in saying: "Very, very clever," And so also says The Billboard. We know that Mr. Mountford has by no means the unlimited* re¬ sources of the interests he is fighting--that ho is compelled to resort to stunts from sheer economic necessity and utter inability to compete In monetary outlay, and his resourcefulness, inventive genius and strategical expertness command our most unqualified admiration. He contrives to keep his cause alive, to keep It before--and right before--the artists all the time in spite of disadvantages, discourage¬ ments, delays, defeats and handicaps that would have dismayed and ^topped any other man we can think of long since. He is white, he is true blue to his adherents, and he is a red-blooded
fighter. His colors are all right.

Editorial Comment
Vaudeville lias obtained the center of the stage and the calcium once more.
flood! r.ut why must this prove the signal for turning on streams of personal abuse and vilification? To let in the .sunlight is well. Light is needed, but when it is applied with burning glasses it only makes the vic¬ tims squirm, jump and curse. Argument leads somewhere. Name-calling is idle, vain and profit¬ less. It helps no person and it aids no cause. Fighting never proved the right or wrong, the justice or the injustice of any issue, but when disputants will not argue and will not arbitrate it provides the only w'ay to a settlement. The settlement is seldom enduring. As a rule it lasts only as long a.s It takes the loser to recuperate and ag.iln get Into fighting trim. There is reason to believe, however, that the fairer and cleaner the fight is made the more
business game successfully, ` following rules" far more scrupulously than many of|our other great American cap¬ tains of industry. The same goes 'for Mr. Murdock, Mr. Goodman, .Mr. Casey and the balance of his chief aides and lieutenants.
True, he has built a machine that is marvelous In its mechanism, awful in its strength, power and eai»arity, and terrible in its efficiency, hut even in this he was instigated, taught and en¬ couraged by the actor and aided in developing and perfecting it.
The fact remains, as ve liave re¬ peatedly asserted, that he himself is just a shrewd and very sueeessful bus¬ iness man. with most of the virfue.s and few if any more of the vices of his kind, and to picture him otherwise is folly. Nothing will be gained by it.
«'*···
On the other hand, the recent fusil¬ lade of defamatory fire from his camp directed against Mr. Mountford. is ex¬ tremely reprehensible and highly dis¬ creditable.
Mr. Mountford Is none of the things he is called--not at all the odious person he is described.
Everything points that way. We have hot been tii>ped off. We have not had the slightest hint from any official or reliable source. Wo vi'iilure the prediction solely because in our estimation conditions and events are rapidly ripening that will force a light. ,\nd, moved by this belief, we plead for clean and fair fighting, not only for the honor and reputation of the prfifession, hut that victory, even tho it go (as it nej'ds musti to tho stronger will nevertheless go to .a f.alr fighter. There Is a chance that .a fair fighter will triumph fairly and de.al fairly with the vanquished thereafter. Rut if the liout is won on a foul or by resort to unfair means no good will acefue to anybody, the winner least of all. The only outcome will he the waste, havo<` and loss of time and money. Nothing will have been settled, nothing advanced and notliing gained.

A CIRCUS ON
By W. W.
WllKN "n* upeaki nf a circna lot the pic¬ ture of a vacant Odd, pirhapa don-n by the railroad tracka. or Ilia roiumona ju^t tx'.Toitd the school bouiie, or maybe the fair cro'in'ls at the edge of town, come to mind. Iliai'a where the city of billowy canvai usual¬ ly ariaea 9<>me sunny morning in the old home iciMi uVn the show is out on the road.
Hut not so when the seunon opens In Ne>v York i'lty and the Itlngllng lleos.-B.'irnum A: lisiler Combined Shows auspiciously start their
tour. It is then that thn time honored, historical old structure. .Madison Sqti.ire G.irden, I* fbr the time being turned into a t ircuf "lot." Instead of the big top. luenagcile, side-show, dressing, and numerous other tents, if is all under one high vaulted roof, with C Triilers and side rooms, subterrauean tKisenients and winding stairs. Instead of the flapping side walls huge piles of stone and hriek line tbe si.Ie streets, weather Stained and dingy; a stene pillan-d arcade runs along the .Madison square inenue side and above all rises the con¬ spicuous tower with the one word ··firens" cinMaioned in electric lights.
Across from the tower is Madison 8<iuare, a breathing spot In the Mg elty that skirts Broadway from Vorly third to Twenty-sixth street, rainod iu story and song, a grass plot In a fori't of sky-sc'apeis, worn, trouking benches alwa.vs occupied la fair weather hy idlers, derelli ts and weary men. always shifting, everchaugliig. as far from the wiiirl of bol.v city life as tho on a deseit i.sl.and--this is the nearest ap;ro.ich to a olntis lot that the metropolis ran t>oast of.
Contr.'st lids with the aver.ige location on tbe read where the lot usually skirts a city street nr dusty road. Where the crowds swarm over the r<ugb tufts of grass, stumbling across nneven stretiln s. kicking up the dust or cinders, unronsrlnns of ctindltbins underfoot Iiecanse the eyes and mind are fixed on tbe sea of eaDv.-is ihrad lioMlng untold wonders, the gaudy sideshow hanners, the red and g"ld wagons and above all the tdare of the liands and the happy chatter of the pb-jrure seeking crowds.
In New York the crowds arrive by surface, elevated or subway trains. Other hunrtrels slight from is vis and town cars. Oroups of merry cbildien chap¬ eroned h.v wealthy. indulgent part nts or over-arjlcus niirsee, are assisted from luanrlous llriousines in front of the arehed entrance bv liveried gtotmis. They mingle with the lines of ticket puo'lasers and all flock up the stone steps ef the garden together. Inside they are separated Info the boxes, choice reserved sec¬ tions. or clamber to the cbesper loeaflens high up In the loji galleries.
You know whit the ``back door" of the big sli'w is nut on the road; the feature acts with their (ory hiingaliw tents, the Mg dressing ten's with thfir rows and rows of trunks el.'Se together; dividing canvas walls for privacy: the I'anil top. the horse tents; the prop wsgons, all snro'unded by a sagging side wall n> l more than wsist high but siiftb lent to keep out the . iirinns At the garden the back door might be ths entrsDoe to any waiadiouse, and aside fioui a fluiuing eigbi-shect floated near the disw and I'le few atlai hea lounging near the door keeper, there it nothing to indiiate a ctrens Tlmu-aiids I'.iss on the Fourth .\veiiue ears, or In autos, witliiuji giving the liullding a glance Wore It the canvas city we see on the ro.ad, trsftle vv iM i.e Ktalb'd In one minute.

past the draiMTies of the main entrance. The first objects that catch the eye and impress
one are the three immense, massive, specially
presario in the garden. The crowds are ad¬ mitted to his attractions on one general ticket. He dca^sn't have to coax them. They are al¬ ready sold. To see him at Ills best catch him at work some broiling hot summer afternoon on a sandy lot out in .Michigan, in Ills I'alm Bca< h suit and a I'anama hat, his silk shirt open at the throat, or a hankerchief tucked around his collar, hia hands tunned and sunhurned, with a (1st full or yellow paatebo.'irds and the ends of a few crlB[) greenbacks trailing thru his Ungers. When lie leans forward from his high box in front of the Annex, adjusts his sun timhrella at a more protecting angle, fixes his eagle eye <-n some siisreptllile group at tlie edge of a curi¬ ous crowd and begins to extol the wonders lectured on the bellying banners back of him. When be starts the side-show spiel In that jM-iietrating, resonant voice of his, every note vibrating with tense sincerity and overwhelm¬ ing conviction, then is when you want to ``gather in a little closer, neighbors."
tunstructed steel .arenas that tower upward from each of the three ring banks. Covered with strong netting drawn to a peak above, with heavily barred sectional tunnels ready to be rushed into place connecting the cages of the new trained animal acts with the arenas, there is an appearance of perfect security, so far as the spectator is concerned.
But the second iiniircssion is that there is 8 world of grief in store for somebody on the ro.nd this summer. Mickey Graves bss a large and clflcient crew of iiroperty men who moved like clock work in the garden when it came to dismantleir.g the steel set. But im¬ agine a wet night on a muddy lot and a long haul, and this mess of steel grating to be loaded, to say nothing of the cages of priceless trained occiii ants that cannot be replaced, and if Fred Warrell, general superintendent, doesn't add a few more grey hairs to his already fair acciiiiiulation it will be because luck is with liitii all tbe time.
Then is when he tells the natives they are There gws Fred Brandon's whistle as the "standing In their own light, depriving them¬ opening signal and Merle Evans' twenty-elght-

In language that would make any college professor or orator of ancient r.reece writhe with envy, he depicts in graphic details the delights of investigating the m.vstertous regions beyond the canvas walls and of persi>nally meeting each and every one of this entire congress of curious people. Then it is only the stony hearted yap or the diiige who has spent his last thin dime at a snurk stand who can resist the temptation to go in.
Gisnt George Auger in a flaming uniform that is doubly conspicuous on account of his size. The iingeant is a well selected and gorgeous prelude to two hours and a half of circus en¬ tertainment, the pick of the world of track, ring, stage and aerial acts, at times confusing and bewildering to the spectstor on account of the multitude of Indirld'Jal features, but pre¬ sented in a masterly and orderly fashion that indicates many exjiert guiding hands and a life¬ time arranging experience.
\ genuine novelty and one that has already caused no end of talk and newspaper comment is I,oreIIo, the man with the revolving head, nis neck dislivatlun 1? something marvelous and is performed with ajiparently little effort and none of the grewsorae effects that might easily make an act of the kind objectionable. There is Irene Waldron, an armless phenom¬ enon; liosc Foster, another half lady rivaling Mile. A. Gabrielli; Miss Igiura, a towering giantess; the three brothers Ilohne. "world's fattest trio, ' snd a dozen other new attrac¬ tions secured at least for tlie garden engage¬ ment, ultl.o Some of them may not he taken on the road.
.''haring honors with the human freaks, and in fnct taking the headline position on the An¬ nex MU. is John Daniel, the only genuine gorilla in capitlvity. We were there one morn¬ ing while Jolin was having his picture taken and ho certainly is a contnry cuss. He will make the finest kind of copy for the press boys. The New Y'ork papers have already carried feature stories on his crossing the At¬ lantic as the sole occupant of s steamer sfaterism; how he must have his brandy toddy regul.xrly; his Inrlinntion to undress and go to bed whenever be has company, and a thousand other angles of the doings of this man-formed
With the circus performance in full swing, every box occnpled by wrell-dressed, cultured and attentive spectators, every seat taken in the rows upon rows of reserves, every gallery jammed clear to the top-most section, high up in the girders, the garden makes an impressive showing. The building has never been so bril¬ liantly illnmicated ss this season. The ti<mendous arc lamps and countless rows of mazdas have been supplemented by dozens of flam¬ ing arcs and spotted along each side of the first balconies are clusters of powerful spot¬ lights that accentuate the illumination of th» feature acts. No flag decorations are used this season and none are needed. The garden, gr^iwn gray and dingy thru years of service for all sorts of public gatherings, never looks quite BO gay and festive as when the circus comes to town.
But in spite of the colossal collection of arenic s'tlendurs that the Bingling Brothers spread be¬ fore the metropolitan audiences each season there is something lacking, and the atmosphere of the road shew, the city of canvas, the thrill of the big top, isn't there. The city chap may sit in the same box that a Y'anderbilt or a Gould may have occupied at the horse show, tut he misses a lot that his country consln gets when be squats on tbe blues out in South Bond,
lirute with an almost human brain.

Probably Mr. Harrison would be Just an little pleased by the nvodern picture palace, but the point is that the picture palace tries to do on a few thousands wbat the Opera did on a million and a half, and with such etpensive aucceka that most erlticism ia overwhelmed by the result.

THE KINEMA AGAIN
BeaivnaNy or unreasonably, the kiremt has been accused of many sins, but there sounds a food deal ot truth in a new charge that is bp'iight by the offlclal organ of the Variety Artietes' Federation. It seems that people are tar less ready to clap perfnrrasneeg which may. for all their silence, have left them quite well pleased. It Is a serious matter for the perf rmer--from his point · f view the theater becomes a real "Heart¬ break House" if those in favor fail to "signify their approval in the nsual mranner." .Ipplause in the right plaee ia a real part of the suijc essful stage spectacle, and unless w'e are to remodel our whole conception of the theater it is not fair to the actor to with¬ in Id it.
The new charge against the kinema is that, in effe<'t. it is remodeling our concep¬ tion of the theater. There ia no p int in applauding a photogr:iph of something that happened six months ago at Isis Angeles, and the "movies" had not been long cstabllslied In our midst before even those wli.' were deeply moved by them discovered that there was s metbing a little ridii nloiis about letting emotion overflow Into applause. So the kinenm ac tor -- or the transferred sliade < f him--agonizes most strenuously, and the result is taken in (-'niplncent silence. This is tiie tradition that is being carried forward Into the real theaters and music halls, says the variety perforn:er. and this is why. Judging bv applause. It Is geting far m' re dlllicult to shake an audience from Its new stolidity. ' The aiidieii. e is leariili.g. in f.'ct. to take everything and give nothing in D'turn--which scctinds very i»r-cbable indeed, seeing how much tempestuous action and emotion is offered by the kinema without any expectatl'-n of applause. But with the thtvater the bargain Is a bad one for b- th s.des of the fc-otlights a cold house de¬ serves, and frequently gels, a cold performance. The kinema seems, in fact, to be a blacker sheep In the theatrical world than had been suspected. It not only takes for good as many theaters as it can from the poor actor, but is making It impossible for him to play with satisfaction In those that are left.--MANCHESTER GCAKDIAN,

REGRET-AND WHAT IT MEANS
How Idle U is to brood in regretfulness over the mistakes of the past. TVhat a waste of time It is to hnrl>er thoughts of bitterness about the things we might have done. Regret is the first aeeel of diseonragement and despemdener.

We sometimes ait and think for hours about the unkind word we have spoken to another. We dwell at lengtli on our ncglei t of opportunity when it cams our way. Broken hearts and hn>ken promises concern us greatly. There is the feeling that we have not done all we could for the betterment of our fellows. We believe we have been absolute failures hecatise of our indifference to the comfort and the suecesa of others.

It la one thing to be aorrcwful for a wrong, and quite another to regret having done it. Literally, regret impilea a desire to go back and make another try, to return for another chance, to look hack with diaeatisfaction or longing, while sorrow denotea a mental suffering because of the act.

WHAT IS THE COST OF RAIN?
Every man Interested in the promotion of outdoor entertainment is seeking the answ«`r to that question. The fair secretary, the park mana¬ ger, the lyceum and Chautauqua promoter, all must figure rain as an ele¬ ment of more or less cost in outdoor entertainment. But this question, as well as thousands of others as imivortant. are answered in The Billltoard. You may learn how, in spite of rain, the balance was on the right aide of the ledger.
Prove this to your satisfaction hy looking thru the current issue, or, better still, send in your subscription and save the difference in the cost. You will need The Billboard ever.v week during the summer season. It's the ready reference of the show world.

AL G. BARNES' CIRCUS
Widely Advertised in Frisco--Many New Faces With Show
San Francisco, April 12.--.\1 G. Barnes* big four-ring wild animal circus comes to thia city next Wednesday and, thanks to a busy brigade and the good work of Frank Cassidy and Tom Ileeney with the local press, every man, woman and child in Sail Francisco knows of It and is anxiously awaiting the cirrus' ar¬ rival.
That AI G. Barnes* advent here this year will lie crowned with buocess is an assured fact, foi San Francisco is "cirrus hungry,'* us are all the cities of this secti.m of tlie i?tate. ThU fact was amply deiiiniisiriied Saturday at Oakland, Just across the bay, where, in order to accommodate all comers, it was necessary for the AI G. Barnes Show to give four per¬ formances, two matinees and two In the even¬ ing.
While the show played Oakland a Urge number of San ITan-'lsi-o people availed them¬ selves of the opportunity to get an advance peek at it and were well rewarded for their effort, for never in its history has the Al G. Barnes Circus come up to the standard that It maintains this year.
As last year '`Alice in Jungleland." a gorgeous spectacle in which the entire com¬ pany takea part, is one of the outstanding features of the big ahow, and with Martha Florine In the role of Alice proved a source; of delight to the Oakland audiences. Mabel SfwW with her fourteen trained Bengal tigers la, as always, the one feature atlracfion of the show and furnishes a real thrill when she con¬ cludes her hair-raising act hy wrestling with* "Rajah.** one of the largest and fieroeat of the animals.
There are many new faces in the Barnes aggregation this year, tho the old fimiliar ones are still In evidence. Clieerful Gardner haa entirely revised hia elepb.mt art. whicn is more entertaining than ever, .\usttn R. King demon strates with his rebras 11i.n these animals are wonderfully capable actors, despite the general belief to the contrary.
Vera Venable presents another hair-raising act with her trained pumas, and Martha Flcrine with the linns prot ea herself a won¬ derful misfresB of these sa'aee animals. Pearl Hamilton manages the leopards In a capable manner and furnishes her quota of thrills to the cirrus patrons.
And here must lie said that under the capable direction of Kdward A. W'oe<-kener, Al G. Barnes* Circus possesses an excellent band. Mr. W.ierkerer himself a most rapalde musician, haa surrnundeil himself with a galavy of musical talent, producing a band that compares ftvorabl.v with the biggest and best concert bands of the country. He Is deserving of much credit for his arhievement
One more out.st.-inding feature of the Barnes, Show is the singing of Bessie Harvc.v, "prims' donna of the white tops." who won round after round «-f applause at each of the Oakland per fornian* es. She has In her voice a quality that thrills her aitdtenres and n>oiinted on a big white horae presents a striking figure.
As heretofore, the famous Barnes trained sea Hons preve an entertaining feature of the show this veiir under ilm direction of Captain Daniel Williams, while the Itear act under A. C. King is at its best.
Captain Ricardo furnishes more thrills when he battles twelve huge .Nubian lions In the big arena, ending his dailng performance by Jump ing the Inioiense beasts over tlie hurdles
Clown alley was augmented when Jack Klip pel Joined the show in (iiUland and presents a array of talent lliat comes up to the wildes exyiectations of tlie sm.ill boy patrons of the show.
"ffklnny" Dawson, who ia handling the press wifh the show, is meeting with much success Judging from the numtier of notices in the Oakland papers, and has won scores of friends among the newspaper men of that city.
BOSTON BRIEFS

Dear Rowdy--Say. maybe you can help me out. A feller asked me the other day If an up-to-date Wild West performance meant cowboys bein' dressed in white duck er wliitu tl.inncl (ants, wearin' rubber canvas sneaks, doin' their "death-defyln' " atunts. This feller claims that he bets a ranch that hires that kind of help must have cement trails an' shoe their saddle ponies with rubber pads. He says that the piililic goin' to see a cowboy show expe -'s
to see cowboys dressed like they do on the job at home. I tried to explain to him that a

muat voice my approval of the ahnw. its sm'sith and entertaining presentation, and the aatisfying effect in Ita each and every department. The clown work in the big ahow waa `fresh' and eniovahlc, especially the 'hit' done by Bonea Hnrizell. His <sin'epti"n of the 'lone pugilist was extremely funny, and reminded me much of the 'baseball stent' of the late Silvers Oak¬ ley. There Is a 'homelike' atmosphere around the Rarnea Show that is aeld- m seen with big shows, due. they tell me, to the fair and eoiirleoiis treatment by the management toward all conne<-ted with the aggr<>gatlon." Albert Willdner, the man with live fae«-a, joined the side-show at Fresno.

Ever keep It green with tffe<'t|.in and esteem of those they amused, those they did klndness«`S for, of relatives and friends. If I had the say, I'd lay their tired ont, pulseless bodies side by side, where the circus comes often, and on a monument of marble I'd Inscribe; "The World Will Never Have Tiielr E<|ual.**

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN OR INTEREST! I have taken up with my patent attorneys' counsel, Munn, Anderson & Munn, of New York, Chicago and
Washington, the question of infringement as relating to
THE OVERHEAD TROLLEY
They inform me that as at present advised THERE IS NO EXISTING PATENT infringed by the Oadabout. ON THE CONTRARY, they advise me that a competing attraction, which has been extensively advertised, constitutes an INFRINGEMENT OF MY PATENT. Within a week or ten days look for important developments in this situation. (Signed) JNO. J. STOCK, Sole Inventor and Patentee of The Gadabout.

Finally I decided to walk to Detroit to buy one. Went around to the boys and managed to get the sum of 25 cents, This W.1B the best 1 could do. so you can understand why I wanted to Uave the show. The distance wis 27 miles. 1 started out at 8 a m., arrived in Detroit at 5 p.m., walking every step of the Journey. Secured a Billboard, ate a flfteen-cent lunch and started back to the ehew. where 1 had left my family. The rhow ·lad movrC 13 miles further away, which made the distance 67 miles, a^ ail for a Billboard, n It I would hive done the same thing if it I i l beet, 100 miles.

SOUTH LOUISIANA FAIR
more than the mothers the rest teuts where they may go and lie down for awhile, or the op¬ portunity to bathe their faces, comb their hair and shake the wrinkles from their skirts before inerting their families and friends fur luncheon. Perhaps no one more than they appreciates the opportunity of turning the little tuts over to story tellers. Here they are held breathless with delight instead of being dragged over dusty roadways until, at the end of the day, both they and their purents are utterly fatigued.
Nut the least uf the innovations is the lost children service. If a curious youngster should stray away from its elders now, instead of bay¬ ing to search annmg the throngs for, perhaps, hours together, with all sorts of frantic thoughts running thru their miuds, the parents go direct to the iDforniation booth. If^the child has not already been found and turned over to women who are there for the purpose of taking him in charge and entertaining him, be will soon put in an appearame. At the fair, ail roads for crying children lead to the information booth.
Then there Is the playground. Just back of tha Information isioth, where older children Join In miperilsed play and games. And altho it it
primarily for the boys and girls everybody cornea back to it sooner or Inter--parimts, teachers and nil--^because the exiiert recreation director will bo demonstrating the simple but Interesting t.Iay equipment, and teaching all aorts of athletic stunts and group games that may be put on on the playground back home, or even out in the bam lot, without special equip¬
ment, and giving talks on the yalue of recrea¬ tion.

THE SOCIAL SIDE OF THE FAIR
By Nat S. Green
Have yon ever walked around a fair grounds, and walked, and walked, and walked until your tongue lolled out--and you couldn't find a drink of cold water anywhere?
Have you ever seen a perspiring, womout mother doing her levs! best to pacify n couple of tired. Irritable and crying tot*--and no place for her to turn for rest?
Have you ever wanted to find nut when the next train left for Blank--and no one on the grounds seemed to know ANYTHING?
So hav^e we, brother; so have we. -Aud it didn't put us in a frame of mind to enjoy the fair or go awwy with a favorable Impression. Quite the contrary.
But Buch occurrences are bef-omlng less frequent, thanks to the development of an "enlightened aelfisUnesa." The social side of the fair, or rather the social service side, ]s receiving more and more attention. Few fairs ignore it entirely, and many of them are giving special attention to its devekipinect, to the lasting benefit of patrons and the lair itself.
Rest rooms, children's playgrounds, Informstion booths, lost children service--these are -.lome of the visible results of the aocislizatbrn of the fair. And it is not only the big fairs that are making steady progress along this line. In fact, some of the "big city" fairs are far behind their smaller brethren in this respect. But wherever the socializing service has been properly applied tbe results have been so unmistakably beneficial at to convince the most skeptical. Mothers know that they, with their children, can enjoy the day instead of going home worn out from the day's exertions. And, knowing this, they are apt to spend two or three afternoons at the fair, where formerly they went only one (lay, or cot at all. Everyone feels tbe effects of the new order of things. It conduces to good hui^r and aix-lahility, tends patrons home in a happy frame of mind-- and bringa them hack tbe next day.
Read the article on this page that tells 'wliat S'me of the Michigan fairs have been doing, and digest ita tast par.aeratih; "I used to get all tuckered out, but it ii as easy now to go to the fair as to visit old friends.''
Honsl'lsonvIHe, La . .April 13.--Preparations for an exceptionally fine fair are going forward here and tbe minagenieat of the South Louisiana Fair is confident that, the 1921 event will ba of more than usual interest.

the latest and most praetical methods of making them finer still. Here was the human aide ot the fair!
It was net only Hie women and the children in Kent Cot nty who voted the new sort of fair very much werth while. Eierybody was enthu¬ siastic over it. And it was rM only Kent County where the S'M'ial side was developed. In Chippewa County very much the same sort of thing took jilaee. And in tVashtinaw. And in
at least a half dozen other counties. And it will be carried out Jn that many more this year. Michigan ia committed to the get-together idea. The fairs have lieen "socialized" with the co¬ operation of the County Community Councils, thru which Community Service, Incorporated, operates in the .state of Michigan. In Jackson the Idea took such hold that a great "com¬ munity'' tent was erected, with a seating capac¬ ity of .VXi, so that the "folks" could all assemble every day for a soi-ial program and a "sing.'' In at least one other county daily prograina were put on, and in another a quilting tourna¬ ment proved of groat interest to all the women. In most plaees, however, it was the informa¬ tion b<x)th, the department for lost children, the Btory-telliiig and the play ground, the rest tent and the picnicking facilities which made the
music temple near lie center of the grounds and tho program for this yeat's fair has been arranged to show the need and value of such a structure.

What ·-ay. Jim Ferdon; goln» to soon migrate eastward irom your l»a Angelea h;t>eraiii*n? Several boys have asked for you lately.
Hear "our old friend" Archie Smith la still cleaning up around New York. An hie la said to have become a wonderful button worker and la a-o-m-e fast.
Two med. shown in town, in diffprent balls,
tine threw out heraldse reading: "Free Show "
N'd to he outdone the other company chalked,
in large letters, a'
the front of the build¬
ing: "We charge No .tduiission." The word. .No." ha'ing to i.e filaci-d on a door--somebody
oj.tiied the door--no show.
Ben F Trejchel wants to know if ''Senator" J F Clohecy. .tl I.ucia and Parry Carson ha'e lost their art of shoo'ing a pipe now and then as he has not seen anything from them In a long time? Ben adds that be la working New 5 elk and Biuoklyn and doing excellent busine-a.
What's thU we hear of the Chern Brothers taking out a five-year lease on a prominent property In I'hilly, and have opened a store on Main street in Norfolk? Some progressive bus¬ tlers, those fellers.
Pr. Kd F. Weise, over in Indians with bis med show, with a good company and doing bus¬ iness. is the report from Indianapolis. I'nderttand Dor Is enlarging his show lor the outd'xir season. Whatsay, uidtimer?
Rumor has It that Prank Adams it arranging to take out ilie Becker-Ward Medicine Show No 2, to open ationt Sr^.tember 1, and troupe toward California hy the Southern route, the show to have Ita own railroad car.
A note fnim New York states that Jimmy Kelley had just returned to town from Brevideni e. and it wag rumored that he had refused a nifty sum. running into hve figures, for tljp patent on his new little "dot back button." Jimmy has certainly made rapid strides the past couple years, and he registers as one of the most aggressive merchants in the novelty game.
Among the knights seen working in Oakland, Cal., of late were Dr Thurber, with med.; Ed¬ die GIui k, tiefutms and collar buttons; Slim Sul¬ livan, with buttons; H. Warren, with fountain pens; Lo< kwood, wire Jewelry, and Steel, with hooks Here is another town that isn't looking for the "whole earth," aciording to the reader given, as an ace, or a sawbuck quarterly.
Mrs. I... C. Marshfield postcards ``everythina going good in Arkansas," and sa.va to tell "K. B H." the U sorry, but she can't take a Job. at her eighteen months old "kewple'' takea up all her aparo time.
That hustling. Jovial manufacturer, patentee and seller of the "Electric iSerpentinel Gar¬ ter," E. V. Norris, who hails from Buffalo, wa* am<«g the Dayton |0 > folks last week, doing suoie demoostraiing and working up business.
That old timer, "Dutch'' Lobert, reiently droptied into James Kelley's pisce on Ann stree?. New York, and one of the Ikijs there at tL,e time aayg that Dutrh was looking fine, and opined he will be out among the lads t>n the r<*ail before the warm weather aeason it over.
Harry Shetnlt*. of Sioux City, la., accord¬ ing to 'iiioit, has been made circulation mana¬ ger of one of the leading farm papers of the -Middle West, and at pre-ent has some twentyfive subscription stimulators under his Juris¬ diction. Ed D. Henry, also of Sioux City, according to J. W. Bolander is driving hU teiritory of rural routea.
Doc Johnson and Eddie Sullivan, of razor hone fame and button worker, recently caught a train from Iil* ol' New York for Detroit for the season and taking along 25 gross of hones and .50 gross of Jim Kelley g new button sets. Ijitest retorts have it that Eddie la doing a "land ofii' e" business, and all the bunch around 2t Ann street (.New York) wish him continued success.
A iDCvesaful trip thru Florida and Georgia is repotted from the Doc Gi>rdi n Show, and Mrs. Il'auk II 1 Gordon and the folks have been prac. tically taking a layoff and enjoying themselves of late at lakes in .\1ibama, ntw and then working picture bouses iodependently.
Rome would-be linguist of road vernacular. In the form of a "star" story writer, inn local newspaper of the East, recently tried to deal ont information 17) to hia readers, and which waa a huge Joke, line of bis effosions was that a "lawbuck ' meant one dollar--that's fair enough--for publicity.
The "Famous Dusty Bhodes," coming op the line. Dusty knked in from Decatur. III. lApril 7) that be waa in town, with Capper paper, and tliat hia next stop would be Detroit, and then Into Canada. Now. who's the guy who said this old aubacriptionist wouldn't make it--without a new pair of shoes? Von tellnm, "Famous."
The following note, announcing the passing to the Great B»yi.nd of another member of the fra¬ ternity, was received last week from Oakland, Cal.: "Old Dr. Barbour died -April 2 of ptomaine poison. Dr. Barbour had worked Cali¬ fornia steadily with bis lock since 1!*05. He left a widow and eight children, the oldest child being eighteen and the youngest two years old. He was tU years of age."
It has been some months since we heard from that lijatler, Claude D. Laws, and the Missus who, shout two years ago, returned to "OF l.on'<n" on an extended visit. However, now comes a letter from Claude, mailed at Paris, France I in one of those "funny" envelopes--tear off both ends and one side, and read--on the same paper). Here 'tia: "Have been over here in Europe for some time. My best to the bunch. Met some of the boys over here--Harry Brown and others. Not much doing in France. Eng-

was one of those fellows who treat the boys with consideration, as when he lOeo ) was working to a nice puah up drove a iiopcorn wagon, hauled by a mule, with a seemingly foreign owner, but a localite. The said owner aitually tied bia mule to Reed's light pole, whereupon the doi-iod t»Nl him hi* tor(^ support was not a hitchrs'k, but was told that "It maka no differ-ence, me works here." Anyway Gea probably accidentally overturned a bottle of his liniment--hors« sneezed--ex¬ cited owner.

GROCERY, FRUIT, ASSORTED DESIGNS,
The H. W Campbell Cnifed Shows have been meeting with sticcess so far this season. The writer was a visitor at Eastland, Tev., and saw many things of an Interesting nature and a show conducted hy a real showman.
Chief among the attractions thia season is Camphell's Trained Wild .4n!mal Show, in which are eihibited some of the fineit of e<iuine stock, educated dogs and ponies and a most interesting lion act. Herman Q. Smith, general aient, bounced in Wednesday at Eastland and placed upon Theo. Forstall'a Oesk contracts for twelve more fairs. Including Tex¬ arkana. Waco and Paris. >fr. Smith at the
same time notified Mr. Campbell that the loca¬ tion for Port Worth, where the shows are play¬ ing week of .\pril 11. was changed and that the shows would positively be located on the streets, the entrance being on M'ain street, a seemingly unaceompllshable feat and one for whieh Herman Q. deserves eonsiderahle credit. The shows had a dand.y week in Breekenridge, Tex., where a wonderful business was the re¬ sult of Doe Broadwell's extensive advertising sehetne.
The Campbell Fnlted Shows will play Wlehlta Falls. Tex., week of .\pril ?4. anil. If last year's business is any criterion to go by. will surelv have a banner week. The street parade this year Is a "thing of beauty" and is attracting the attention of thousands. Al Ho¬ gan, the snderlnfendent. Is a very hnay man and ran be seen In a doren places within a fejr minutes, looking after the Interest of things in general.--F. G. W.AT.KER, (Rhow

Danrille, Va.. April 1.1.--High Point, N. C., with Hiliv t'lark't Broadway Shows loi'ated on thn old Ball Fark, proved that the Carolina "Furnliiire City" more than lived up to its repuiatiim as one of the best carnival "spots" in the Atlantic Coast states. The weather thninuf the entire week was moderate and bright, and every night, from Monday to Satur¬ day. the midway wag veritably packed with vis-
itora. The Broadway Shows left High Foint over the
Sviuthern for Panvllle, 'a., where, after the usual long haul to Cala Fark, everything w.ns in eomplete readiness, and. altho very cold weather prevailed Sunday and Monday, the Monday opening waa more than gratifying to Manager nilllc Clark. The midway was illuminated at seven o'clock ttpening night, and all shows and concesalons got away to gisxl receipts.
The manner In which the Broadway Shows have been moving "on and off" thus far this season speaks well for the i-ompelent organiza¬ tion Manager Clark has siirroundi-d himself with Panvllle arrangements were made by Speeial .Agent Frank .\shwo<al. and he ue<|uitted himself admirahly.

With the return here recently of Mr. Haller--"Hig Chief Amen ' _the necessilv fur new quarters hecame aiitiarenf, and. after h.iWiug over p^wsihle head quarters at the downtown hotels, it was decided that the Ijinkersbim, on Fifth street, at Market, offered the most fav,iralde loeatlon.
·kceordingly. the moving iiro.-ess was under¬ taken, and l><lay the "Amen Corner" is c-orlly <'ns< oncsl iu the I.ankersliim lobby, where scores of visiting showfolk will henceforth be wel¬ comed by the "coast defenders" who make up its memherslup.
Among the showmen last week qiiarteied at the Ijinkersliim were: Sam C. Haller, Ceorge Itohinson, general agent Wortham .sbowa: Murrav A. i'enuo<k, general agent A1 G.

RUBIN & CHERRY SHOWS
Charlotte, X. C.. April 14.--The Rubin & Cherry Shows got away from .'-iiartunburg. S. C , in good time last Sunday, and the run wna made here without a stop. Under the guidance of "Baldy" Potter the train was rapidly un¬ loaded, and by early Monday morning all the wagons were placed at the bd. which is within easy distance of town. Manager Adolidi Seeroan exi'erieni ed great difliciilty in lo<'ating the vast numlier of shows, concessions, etc., Imt kls masterly touch, acting like the wave of a magic wand, soon brought order out of chaos, and the result is one of the most beautiful mid¬ ways possible to imagine.
I'espite opilosifion in the form of a monster uutoniuhile uhow, the o|iening Monday night was attended by thousands, all the ghows, etc., do¬ ing very giss) business, and, with beautiful watlier predh-ted by the writer from "gating into his crystal." it looks as tho the week will he a big winner.
.All the shuwa are now running smoothly, and many professional visitors have been lavish In their praise of the newness and richnesa of everything from front to bai k.
W. S.

Mr. A. C. Hartman,
Lditor The Billboard,
ClaciDoati, O.
Dear Sir--I have your letter of -Mar. h -it
and tbank yon fur your offer to let tia atravlii
en up the facts in the spring number of
KlUboard as repre'eniiMl by Mr. It. S. I'lrell
We would like to have it di>liDctly niider.lisd
that we have no desire *0 injure Mr. I'zzell in
any way. The writer was his partner for many
years and a boyh.Kid friend long before that
lAter on the writer paid jiart of MY. L'zzell's
eipenaes while he was going thm college and
made him a present of a large bloi'k of stuck
when he was invited to New York to work for
the Tiaver Circle Swing Company.
Mr. I'rzell is ambitious and euteroria.ng and
A. KOSS we consider these splendid qualities. I'nder
article on page 1(M. of the .Ifar. h 'M Rillhoard. Mr. i'zzell aaja: ·'Before becoming head of that
^CmCAGC)
old maniifarturing concern that bat since lhai with the Lcadtnc Doll. Hair and Coooeoalcn
evolved into the company which lieata my name,
Supply lIuuBF.
with its own I'i-acre tract and shops at Ja¬
OVER $200.00 WEEKLY maica. I/ong Island, I was a factor in the safe
engineering development of that now world-
known ride." We wish lo say emphatically that Mr. Czzell never was the he .id of the IS M. RYAN'S STEADY EARNINGS WITH HIS
Tiaver Circle Swing Company.
Suoai*
That company was organized by the writer
Waflle IVfacliln*
mnlcr the laws of the State of Vew York, and
the writer was president of that (omi>any and
its thief executive and general manager from
ilie dale of its organization -intil ita disaolo-
lion. These faeis are well known to at least
Ifk) park managers thruout Ameri'S.
In Die Niiiaa number of Tlie Billb.<ard. dated
Dio'ember Ik. lliJO, apjo'ars a writeup regard¬
ing the K. S. I'zzell CorjKtration In wlil.-h .Mr.
I'zzell slates that the R. S. I'zrell Corpt.rntion
ii tlie patentee of the eif'le .wing Now the
I'zzell Corporation was onl.v formed alwiiit two
years ago. I`revioo« to that tune Mr. I'zzell
operated under the name of Nov.-Ity Miohine
t'oinpanv. wlil.h eompaiiy was sin-c-s-or to the
Trnter Cir. le .tltviiig Crmpanr. ,\s we wrote
you iM'foie, Mr. I'zzell never had any knowledge
of the ( in le awing or Its deaigns ia'..nla or
otw-rafion until more than one .year af'er the
writer liad built the flr»t circular swing
Now we believe in being fair to oveiyone
and we ask no credit for anything except that wliirh is rightly due tii, but we lielieve that there is no reason whatever to (loud or fog the facta as to who Invented the circle swing and who was engineer In charge of Its design. The flits of the matter ran be easily as(ert.ained by writing to Mr. Iflehard fJarvey. of Carvey A- Mirier, wtio are tiuildlng clnde swings

We do not care to air our opinion on this
subject at all. This is not a matter of oiiinion,
and It is a matter of absolute facts, and tbe
facta ran be very readily ascertained from the
people who are competent to give them to you.
We did not expect that you would print our
letter of .March .'i. as It wa.s not intended for
publication. All we ask is that the facts in
the matter be Qrst ascertained and after you
arc sure that our statements are corre<t we
believe it only fair that you should publish
the necessary facts in plain language and deny
Mr. Uuell's statements. We do nut ask this
·n the ground that we are the largest ad-
vertlaers of rides in The Billboard, :ltbu we
believe that we can make that daim. We
merely S'k it as a matter of Justice.
The writer was out of the business for a
number of yeaia during the war because L'ncle
Kam needed the men and material for war pur-
|MiseM. However, we went into the business
again Inst year with the determination to be¬
come the world's largest ride builders and
we do not intend to allow any man to deliber¬
ately take advantage of Tbe Uillboard's col¬
umns. Whether we ^uccced in our ambition or
not does not matter at this moment, but if we
succeed It is going to be bei ause we have used
our ingenuity in desuning new devices and oiir
enterprise in piisliiug their sale. We Will take
no advanta.je of any com|>eiiior whether friend¬
ly or nut. 1 wish them all the best luck in tbe
world, hut If they hlioiild siii c,`,.d where we
fail they niiist do it b.v clean methods.
I.asi J-ear we hiiilt and sold $40.UUU worth
of rides. Tins year our sales have already
real bed llTS.lsO. A loo'iderahle measure of
our suc) ess is due to the fact that The ItilT
board has sxiended to us the courtesy of its
columns, will' U we have use<l to splendid ad¬
vantage. We certainly appre<'late eyerylhing
yon have done for U' and we are going to con¬
tinue to give you a very large measure of
business. We ire lertain that in return for
this, and on tbe grounds of pure Justice, you
Will give us a square deal.
We would sugiresi that ymi ascertain the
facts and cuir<-<t the previous i laims of
Mr Ttzell In plain language, if you are not
Willing to do this we think it only fair to
write a lengthy arinie. giving the history of
the circle swing and the seaplane, and give
that article -iilticicnt prominence so that the
park, and carnival men will not fail to get
tbe facts.
Thanking ynsi for your courtesies in this
matter, we are.
Yours very truly.

In the Spring Si>e. ial Issue of The Bllltmard
I read a write-up by Limit R. Cooke and. be¬
lieve me, enjoyed it vary much, but I will have
to beg Mr. Cuuke's pardou for differing with
him in regard to tbe .ad end of James B.
Hlckn<k. or. as he was better known. Wild Bill.
Wild Bill was a man that was abnolntely fear¬
less and met hit death at followa:
lie drifted into fveadwood,
D . and was
playing cards. His rualon was to take a poti-
lion with hit back to the wall so he could
tee every one in th« bouse, also all new
comers; hnt once. In the late sprliur or early
summer of `TS or '77, h. sat with his ba^ k
to the crowd when a wild and wooll.v, bloi-d-
thirsty, trail worn, dusty gink entert^. This
guy was Jack M<Tall. Me walked the full
length of the gambling hall up to tbe bar and
took a drink, turned and piillisl the well known
4.1 caliber "smoke polo,-- walked to Wild Bill
(up to hts bark, nnderstand). and rocked h.s
gun. Wild Bill beard the eliek and tried to
Throw himself to one side, hot was too lat®.
McCall tired twie., killing Wild Bill instantly.
Now comes one of the most novel trials ever
known Beadwood had no l.sw. so ;ev<.ral of
the old time "Bivae and Cow" thasi-rs gave
·McCall a trial as follows; They Inquire why
M' Oitl shot Wild Bin. M.-Call said Wild Bi I
killed his brother a long time before, so the
verdict was to let McCall get on his horse
and give him 30 .eeonda to start. At the end
of this time four of tbe court, with high-rower
rifles, would open Are on him. If they failed
to hit him he was fiee. Well, they failed to
bit him. for McCall laid close to hit -addle
Then McCall went to Yankton, the eapi'al.
and let the people know that he was "Bi-ter
Jack" from Bitter Creek. Me made it public
that he waa the guy that killed Wild Bill
Yankton the people had a little law, also some
order, and arrested MiTall. They gave him a
fair frlat and he was hanged hy the neck un-
til dead for tbe mnrder of James B Mlckoi-k. (Signed) E. J. GARDNER.

"WHY SPARTANBt'RG LIKES THEM "Latt fall tbe Rubin & ('licrry Shows came to Spartanburg and remained during the week of the County Fair, giving daily exhibitions to the very great enjoyment of the crowds that came to the Fair. The proprietors of the shows were so much pleased with Spartanburg that after the close of the season they went into winter quartera here at Camp Wadsworth, and have grown up Into the habits of the (immunity and become a part of it 'for keet>a,' Rubin & Cherry having adopted Spartanburg and Spartanburg hav¬ ing adopted Rubin & Cherry, and to their mutual satisfaction. Mr. Rubin, whose full name la Rubin Gruberg, la a Southern man. a native of M-mtgomery, Ala., and has achieved high distinction in his pnifession. His i)eople are all W')rthy folk. They have fitted Into the life of this town exactly, and the more tbe natives have teen of them tba better have they liked them. No person is employed hy the company who does pot bring with him testimonials certifying to hia g"od character and efllciency. with the purIioae always kept clearly in mind that only clean people can be depended upon to give clean ahuwa. "Naturally, a policy like that would appeal 4o tbe high moral sense of this com¬ munity and immediately give standing to these people and their attractions. There was another reason why Rubin A Cherry were warmly welcomed to Spartanburg. On arriving here to go into winter quartera they made fat deposits in three of the city banks, and checked againat funds kept in banks in other cities for the current expenses of the shows In vacation and for the construction and repair work g ung on constantly at Camp Wads¬ worth. It is said that tbe pay roll of tbe company during the rest period has been not less than f-.oOO. One lumber concern in Spartanburg ia $3.300 better off In the amount of butlnesB done by It during the last six montlis than It would bare been bad not the Babin A Cherry Shows gone into winter quarters here. "The money spent by them here was 'as welcome as a daisy in a oow'a mouth.' quot¬ ing a famoua aaylng, of course; but one of the most Interesting diioovenet made hy tome of onr own people is that, after all, 'showfolks,* as they are called, are made of very much the same tort of clay at other human creatures. They are bad and they are good, and tbe best of them have been connected vrith the Rubin A Cherry outfit, and the Lord it

K-ta people, clotely Intent on making money and convinced that they bad won the war. I discovered very speedily that the average American baa far better mannera than the aver¬ age Eugliabman, and that he does not boast more excessively than he Is entitled to boast, and that he la, on the whole, much more tubmlialve to authority than the Kogllabmau. . . . Love of money seems to me to be among the least of American chatacterialK'a. What one does dis¬ cover In tbe whole population, rich and poor, i« a real love of doing a Job as well as pnasible. The American seems to like work, and be la fascinated by the power which control of tndiietry gives him. An American business man, even a very rich American bualnean man, will be at hit desk in bla office deeply engaged In hit work before nn English busineas man his fin Ished drinking bit early morning cup of tea . . . What we cull .American brag Is tbe out¬ come of a quite Inudable desire to aee things bet¬ ter done Id bis conniry than they are done else¬ where. Civic prhie Is far atrc.nger In .American cities than It la In British ciiiet. When 1 said that Americans are more auhratsslve than Britlahers, I mean that tbev are more willing to ac¬ cept tbe Insolence of persona in office than wa are. Walt Whitman referred to this aspect of their character more than once In bis poems Ws respect the law more than the .Americans do, bnt We bare less respect for politicians and official! than they have." And man.v more nice ibinga did be sav al>out you all, and he la evidently yirg with Harry Lauder to tell you your good " points, because of had ocea he never spoke.

PANTO MANAGEB A3 A COUNT Jlspldly are the ancient prewar customs being revived, and thia year at Bordighera the Prlltsh colony haa resumed the war-lntefriiptcd stunt of running an annual pantomime. Mrs. Reyniour Arnold and Count RIccardl-CubItt are the Joint managers. The Count was originally Thomas Cubitt, but he married the sole represenfatlvi of the ancient and noble Italian family o* Biccardl, assuming by re<|uest the name he now hears, and In order to keep things In the pic¬ ture the King of Italy conferred upon him the title of Count. He haa a lovely home In tho hop growing district of Edenbrldge--the Garden of England. The youngest member of the .lanto crowd at Bordighera will be Ixird Mont¬ gomerie, the alx-year-old sou and heir of Karl of Kgllntoo and Wintoo.

In the days of ancient Rome the juggler was terme.i a "pillcupus."
After a Juggler has played "physic'* show,, rep. shows, ".kid'* shows and small time vaude¬ ville, and still persists, his rase is hopeless.
From the "Blbllothek des I.lterarlschen Vereins'* in Stuttgart, edited by Bartscb, 1856: "Juggling--.Miscellaneous performances assix-l. atcd with buffoonery. Tne Jugglers lead a wandering and precarious life, hard pressed for foo-l and shelter. They have a ba.i repiita tlon. Many terms of censure are apfilied to them. They are regarded as disreputal-le. emp ty beaded foola, jesters, liars. anti-Christian, tempters, men who throw reasun and moralify aside, sorcerers. Thev Inhabit taverns and gatnble. They do certain kinds of tricks such as throwing and catching balls and knives.*'
During the days of Marcus .\iireliii8 Antoninus there was a poiiular game called ''trigon.'' It lonslsted of throwing and Juggling imltvidiially and collectively, handling from one glass ball to aa high as twelve. The Emperor Nero was a lover of the game. It was also popular with the Oj'eeks and Egyiitlans. Many old coins, in¬ scriptions and monuments b>ar witness to the clever stunts performed. Julius Caesar and Alexander Severua were adepts at it.

Have made satiifactury arrangements with Mr. Mugivan and will l-e with John Robinson tbij season. Am using the old think box. Some of these days I will pro¬ duce a big one.'*
From Harry Helms: "Juggling and Jugglers la Indeed a. very pleasant suriirise. I consider it a long felt want and Just as important as the magician's column--in a class all by itaelf. I< will bring the Juggler into bis own. I am both a magician and a Juggler. Have been in ever.v branch of the show business since 1883. 1 am Indeed surprised at the list of Jugglers mentioned in the coinmn. Some I knew, some never even beard of. For this reason the col umn is a mighty good thing. It tells us who's who; brings os close together. Let the good work go on.**
From Joseph snd Frooka: "We are bnUding up a bigger and better act for next season and hope to play time which does not give over six or seven shows on Sunday, for when s Juggler does more than that be is laboring. Old Billyboy snre hits the right spot when the Jugglers' Column Is in it. M.ay all Jugglers see the light. A long life and the bMt of luck.**
Owley (formerly Owley and Randall) aaytt "I always said the Jugglers should have an organization. It is a grand Idea. Why not? It takes some one to start It. Keep it op! Good luck to a Jugglers* club. I have been out of the show business for alioiit five years but still keep tab on the show world.
Jim Colino writes; *'1 hate Jngglers! They are always throwing things, (ha ha). Jnat arrived from Australia and looking thru 'The BilliKiard waa greatly Interested in this oolman. .\m an Australian by birth. Over here to ray beat. Expect to be coming East any day from now.'*
Prom Ed Hanley: "I favor an organlMUon of Jugglers. Moat performers are good for only a few years. They they must have a new act or drop out of sight. Organized we could get up good, big, live acts.**

Then we have another type of picture, ``Tho Fonr norsemen of the Apocalypse," which dem¬ onstrates the marvelon* progress made in the silent drama. This picture is destined to lead the way for big and nnitsiial stories of a spec¬ tacular and sensational nature upon the s<-n-en.

When any boy go** wrong, commits a petty offense or stetls, the motion picture* are Immedlst'ely blamed for his actiou*. As a matter of fact fli* screen h.i* actually helped to avert crime. In congested districts in all large rltle*. espe-'lally In the ten* ment districts, where people are huddled together and deplorable conditions exist, the greatest relief has come thru the medium of showing pictures In the nelghborho-vl then ters on Sundays. The people are then scattered, friction and quarrelsome natures find relief In watching the many scenes that flit before their eyes. They are taken mentally ont of thoir squalid environment, and vision far-off India, tbe South S<»ai. Italy, the Mediterranean and other vlewa of Induatrial scenea. Inspiring them to loftier purposes. IMctures are an Incentive, they excite ambition, courage, heroism. It la rarely that a boy watching motion pictures partakes of the evU side, the natural tendency being towaid the hero, to achieve, attain, climb upward.
It Is far better for boys to spend their time on Sunday in moving picture theater* than to quarrel and fight in back alleyway* or mingle with the rough element on the street. The growing mind It always receptive to good influence. Tbe motion picture has taken children out of harmful Influences and educated tliem thru the medium of the s reen. which siwass a universal language. In the Juvenile courts of our city I litre inlericgated learned Judges a* to the pr>per place for b-'T* on the Sabbath. Almost iinan'moi sly they have agreed that the m-dlon picture theaters have been a blearing rather than a harm to the boys of .VmoiUa. With our overflow and ever tncrcaalng poD.t'.ation In New York, It would prove a calamity to deprive the people of tbe recrea¬ tion and mental stimulns they derive in seeing pictures on Sundsy.
Ke>r the youth of America we make the plew that these place* of amusement be kept
open on Sunday.

Thif is a big German-made picture of an biaturical English subject. Superbly acted l>y the two principals, but it evidently did not strike a resiionsive note, as the public was not deeply touched by the tragedies of 1521. Rather rumbersnme is the weighty story, with but few relieving touches of a lighter character. Yet true to the times are the characters depicting Intrigue, Jealousy and conapiracy, with a rol¬ licking King playful at timea, yet very vindictive and fickle when opposed. Henry the VIII took his wivL-a like the present-day prohibitionist takes bis nip, with stealth and secrecy--but get them be would at any hazards. The introduction came swiftly, and then the acticn took on some dramatic moments, especially the wedding pro¬ cession of the reluctant Anne Buleyn, who wna forced into marriage with the dreaded King. Many people figured in this vivid scene, as well as in an exciting hunt. The festival and water floats, a lively tournament, a court scene, with settings of the Tudur period, reflected the spirit of the times. Despite the poignant suffering of the illfated Queen the emotions of the audience were not deeply stirred. The house was noisy, and not over attentive, laughter being beard la parts where none was intended--perhaps the New York people were hysterical from watching a wicked old rone dispose of bis family with indifferent Doncbalance.

It U i:.comprehe.''.sibIe for us to under¬ stand why Alice Lake was thrust into such R mediocre picture. Her natural talents deserve a more coherent story. Instead of featuring the star, blocks of ice and a blizzard hold the center of the stage.
THE CRITICAL X-RAY The story limps thru a couple of reels of domestic infelicity, the main idea of which is Impruliable, and the scenario Is poorly con¬ structed. Then the heroine to test the worth of her scalawag husband accompanies him on a trip to Alaska in search of a gold mine, but be weakens at the hardships confronting him and orders bis boat to return home. An In¬ terested friend with strength of character is also on the same mission and he boards their vessel to give them helpful information. The wife makes a quick decision, and determines to complete the Journey with this man, Frank Underwood. The husband returns to civiliza¬ tion and secures a divorce on the ground of willful desertion. in the Interim the couple continue the Journey into the land of ice and snow. Their ship is overtaken by the rigors of the Alaskan climate; for months they are frozen fast among huge Icebergs. They try to keep their love pure. In the spring the ice
mind must have lost the threads at one time or another. It seemed careles.sly and hastil.v written, or it may be the work of an amateur who. In his eagerness to get a story with plenty of action, painfully overdid the thing? Tliere was a spot where the author showed a sense of the comic, greatly augmented hy the actor who played the part. This was the scene In which the circus manager who arrives in town minus his "Wild Man" makes in¬ quiry at Uncle Jake's newspaper office for n candidate for this job, and is Introduced to Ferdluand Judd, a long, loosely-jointed youth who does not find the prospect of impersonating a man-eating cannibal particularly oxhiiar.atiiig.
Miss Eileen I'ercy we haven't the slightest doubt is a very attractive young lady--off the Si reen. But s!;e hasn't a bit of that precious thing called charm or screen magnetism, for all her beautiful blond curls and attempts at being "cute." We don't mean that Miss I'ercy is not sincere in her efforts, but we can't help thinking that she'd sliine much more brilliantly in musical comedy.
Harry Dunkinson as the circus manager was splendid, but his fiart was so small that we can only say we wish there had tieen more of it. Paul Kamp as the country "boob" we can imagine doing very go'id- work under better direction. The supiiorting cast ns a whole was adequate, but the star, the story and the direction fell far short of the standard set by many others in the moving picture field.

Wimlpog, Can., Afrit 15.--The winter rjtjnrtcra of the International Amusement Co., corner King and Logan strieta, in the renter of the wholesale district, presents a very busy scene these days, as most all the shows now contracted for are here and their parjpbeinslia is being made ready.
Man.sger I.avoIe is receiving some nice com¬ pliments fiom the newcomers on the large and spacious work rooms that he has engaged for them. Among the latest shows to be com¬ pleted is R 1 renthy's Wild Animal Show, which will doubtless be the feature attrocthni of the midway. The concessioners are busy paint¬ ing and ·ve.liaiiilng their tents and frames, so that when this show opens It will he one of the best .and neatest-framed gilly shows on the road. Manager Lavuie is probably the flrst to have a show of this nature winter this far North and everybody is watching with interrs*. the outcome of this venture. This is a great outdoor show territory and this will ba tlie first show in this season.
The store show that Manager Lavoie has been operating all winter on Main street continues to draw good crowds. Baby Belle, fat girl, still ho.da forth aa a feature attracCon, as does also a more recent arrival, the Alligator Farm.
The 'ast of April will find everything in readiness for the opening which takes place on May 23, on the old "Happy Land'' lot, with four more "still'' weeks to follow before the show starts on Its fairs.
A partial list of the attractions comprises B. Frenchy's Wild Animal Show, Alberta Frank's Wild West. R. Garvey's Dog and Pony Show, A R Lavoie's merry-go-round and whip. Jimmy Brown's Ferris wheel, J. Hardbottle'a "Si lendora,'' W. SkIvasion's "The World Aflame," "Belle and Boaco,'' Ten-in-one, and Hxrry Walsh's "Big Joyland Show '· All of which is according to the above show's press representative.

Many of the boys with the Barnum show, who liked to kid me, remember the night down in Alabama when I hollered, `Mister, please don't shoot,' as a lanky native, full of rorn liquor, blazed away at me with a revolver that looked to be as large aa a cannon.

"On another occasion 1 was the principal ae tor at a mock lynching by the rest of the drivera. They accused me of being a horse thief on account of my loading a horse of another driver's team in with mine. It was loti of fun for the crowd, but not for me, to be s>-nt up to the bale-ring, feet flrst.
"Several years ago while In Bridgeport. Conn., I was anxious to get an eight-horse team and to show what I could do with one. One day I took an `eight* out to exercise them Kverytbiog was lovely until something hap¬ pened which scared the horses. If they hadn't left the road and wrapped themselves around some trees I think they would be going yet.

The brakes gave way and turned me louse. I always think I was lucky to have my ten-flngered eloves on that day. However, more thru good lurk than good management I made that turn to the right at the bottom, barely missing a street car. 1 cannot give too much credit to my two aasistants on that o'casion.

puhliahed at I'.urtlesville,
Oh.: "Ten year* ago, when the aioviDR picture
eihlbitora thought that their offering to the
aiuuaement-loving puhlie had reached the ereat
or i>erfecllon and would Boon he on the wane,
they thought It adv-aable to cull into conKUlta-
tlon the deaiia of ·.Amiineuient I'hysicianii.'
What was nio-ded was a atr'.ng and lasting stim¬
ulant, one that after being injected and with
proper after medieation would so sliuiulate the
boZHitDre patient' that his \iHita would be long
and frequent. Many ao-'ailed 'physiciaus' tried
and failed. The 'ttutient* failiMl to respond.
Klnally entered `lir.' Ensley Harbour, who
bad a |K>st-graduate course In the 'ilia' of amuse¬ ment, He iireaeribed `Musbal Comedy Tabloid,* with the dire<tions. Mo he given daily' two or three times, or as many times a.a the 'patient' craved for it. The iirescription cai.sed an eiddemic. It spread from town to town. `Dr.' barlKiiir waa anowed under with ai'plicationa from t `amnaement sanitarlnma,' those whose 'patients' had deserted them. The prescription was imme¬ diately administered. This waa ten yeara ago. The result: The Harbour Circuit of Theaters. Becognized and nmcedid to be the world's great¬ est and biggest niuaii-al comedy tabb id circuit. So successful has it been that the must firominent and biggest of producers are now leaning toward this . ir nit f.tr talent. Just recently a prominent minstrel man, tipou being eomplimented for the g<K>d show that he had, replied: `Yea, I have a good show, but 1 had to get the "tab." actors to put it over. A notice of Febmary 12, In The Uillboard, read: 'The big prodnctug managers contemplate a raid on "tab. ebowa'' for new faces and talent.' And. speaklog of talent, Mr. Harbour has with liia com¬ panies tome of the cleverest stars of the vaude¬ ville and musical comedy stage. Hilly House, lone O'Donnell, Fritz Fields. Jimmy Allard and many others have headlined the beat of bigtime vaudeville bills and have starred with the bigceat and best of musical comedies. The store
roon* theater, which waa brat used at the birth of the circuit, has grown into beautiful, large theaters, with every modern roiivenienoe, both for the liatnma and the performer. Over 7!) cities now get their amusements from the Bar¬ bour Booking Agency, one of these being our own Oklah Theater here in Bartlesville, whl:h la under the able management of Kd C. Hunter. Traveling companies are quU-k to compliment Mr. Hunter for hia congenial and business¬ like management of the Oklah. .And patrons alike are appreciative of the fart that the beat in musical comedy la always to he seen at tbe Oklah. And so, after ten years, the `Dr.' Barboor stioiulant baa lost none of its strength, bat the craving for it has causiMl numerous new 'amnaement sanitariums' to be erected, and many other ones are now in the course of conatrnction.''

COMMENT
When we prepared the foregoing copy for publication in the Christmas Number of The Billboard our first and only thought was to procure snd file in onr New York office a list of fiotels. Apartments, Boarding and Famished Room Houses catering to Sbowfolks in order that we could assist Advance Agents. Company Managers, Artists and Artisans in locating desirable addrvs..es that they could phone to on their arrival in town instead of lugging around one or more heavy grips in quest of accommodations.
Had we anticipated the labor that we were saddling on onraelves we would have reneged, for tbe pnblished request bronght to ua an avalanche of mail from Hotels, Apartments, Board¬ ing and Furnished Rroom Houses desiring to be listed. Not only that, hut letters from theatrical folks boosting their favorite stopping places.
For weeks we have been kept bnsy compiling nor list, and by the time this appears In print we hope to have it complete and be in a position to advise Theatrical and Outdoor Showfolks where to find desirable places.
·Numerous inquiries relative to advertising rates under the vaiions headings convince ua that we can render more valuable services to everyone interested in Hotels. .Apartments. BoanlIng and -Famished Room accommodations by establishing a distinct Hotel Directory in The Bill¬ board that will give the names, addresses and phone numbers, thereby saving the abowfolks the nece«slt.v of writing to ua for information.
'Hotels, Apartments, Boarding and Ehmisbed Rooms will be advertised nnder their proper cUaaificatioo, vlx.:

Theodore Aylward, manager of the Cincinnati Orand Opera House, passed peace* fully away on Wednesday, April 13, after an illness of but four days. For over a quarter of a century he bad been widely known in the Western theatrical world. During that time it was my privilege to know him intimately. He was not a man who carried his heart on his sleeve, hut those wlio knew him best can testllfy that few men were more Ihoroly cv'nscientlous and loyal than "Ed'* Aylward. Pr'phetic aa it may seem, in the last Issue <1 `·Sasby's Magarine," 1 wrote the following;
*T don't know a*iy man who is more conatautly on the job than the indefatigable manager of Cincinnari'a Oraad Opera House. Tliere seems something or other for bim to do every minute of the day. But it does not end with the day. While we are enjoying the show Ed. Aylward has to remain in his offl*-e and look after scores of minor details concerning which the theatergoer knows nothing whitever. Sundays, Holidays. Good Friday, Christmas Day, Fourth of July, election night--in fact, a* all timet the manager of a theater baa to be doing something or other. He must take the blame, too, for everything. If all his patrons can not get front sests he is the man to be Jumped on. If the show Is below par he Is the man who should have known better than to have allowed Its presentatpin. It might be a g'XMl idea, lioweTef, for ns to give him credit for doing bis utmost to please people who could never be pleased under any circumstances."
Some one has wisely said that Death Is an episode and not a tragedy. It la a liberation from the physical body and not the annihilation of the consciousness, Tho death may take from ns our outworn or outgrown bodies. It grants ns the wider freedom of the unseen worlds. Instead of being a dark-robed King of Terrors, It Is a bright Ppesenoe, bearing the blessed key which unlocks the prison-house of the flesh. Death simply comes to our depart*^ friends ns a sweet Benediction. The living have their temporal trouble. The dead are enjoying an Eternal Progresslveness. When sorrow oomes to us we turn to the earth, and It Is barren--to the tky. and It is leaden. The rift In the cloud only Is the hope of Imm 'rtallfy, born with ns. and testified to by every line of Nature that lies about ns like an open book. With this light In our eyes we turn again to the earth, and It Is no longer barren; to the sky, and It ia no longer leadeD. for we read the same voice In the storm, or In the breaking wave--In the nnlet nook around the sunny brook, the same voice of Faith--BE P.ATIEXT--Gc-d reigns, and Immortality is the Jewel of the Soul. Be¬ lieving as I do in Immortality, 1 refuse to look npem death as anything els* but a glorious, Ood-given release, an exchange of pain for Joy, a transition from trouble to permaoent Peace, and I trust we mav nil be able to say with Chsrles Frohmsn as the Lnsltsnla was sinking; "WHY FEAR DEATH? IT IS THE MOST BEAUnFUE ADVENTl'KB IN LIFEl"
I can only think of F.d. .Aylward as one who, in a better world, with renewed youth, has gained Ms reward--·'THE WAGEIS OF GOING OX"--and living a life where. Instead of the strain and stress of earth, there is the easy s"d harmonious eve-ei«e of all the faculties, where the sotil strives without effort, achieves, aud is CONTEXT.
Some time at eve when the tide is low I shall slip my moorings and sail away With no reaponce to the friendly hail Of kindred craft In the busy bay. In the silent hush of the twilight pale. When the night stoops down to embrace the day, .And the voices call in the water's flow-- Rome time at eve when the tide |s low I shall slip my moorings and sail away.
Tlirn the pnrpllng shadows that darkly trail O'er the ebbing tide of the I'nknown Sea I shall fare me away with a dip of sail And a ripple of waters to tell the tale Of a lonely voyager, sailing away To the myatlc isles, where at amlvr Ivy The crafts of those who hsve svlleil t . f re O'er the Unknown Sea to the Unseen Shore.
A few who hare watched me sail away Will miss my craft from the busy hay. R 'me friendly bsrks that were snchortvl near, 8*>me loving souls that piy heart holds dear, In silent sorrow will drop a tear-- And I shall have rH-arefiilly furled my b.ViII In moorings sheltered from nt<jrm or gale. And greet<-d the friends who have sailed t*efore O'er the Unknown Sea to the Unseen Shore.

Milt Tolbert, well-known repertoire show owner and manager, died suddenly at Athena, Tenn., April 17, of acute inikigestiun. His demise came as a great ahewK tu leia tires and frienda, as it was wholly nnexpected.
Mr. Tolbert was bom in Greenville, Tex., August 26, 1876. He sdopted the show bnsiness in lis>|. He was married in 1m99 to Cora I^a Hale, who joined him in hia chosen profession and continned to work with him till his death. Both Mr. and Mrs. Tolberf were connected with tbe W. I. Swain Show from 1908 to 1916. They organized their own company in Dothan, Ala., in 1917, and a scsind company laat seaaon, tbe companies being known onder the name of the Milt Tolbert Show No. 1 and No. 2.
Mr, Tolbert's valuable co-worker and partner in business bas been H. D. Bald, who ia Mra. Tolbert's bri'ther. He is now manager of the No. 2 company. Milt was always proud of the fact that he never was a ''JoiDer." He belonged to no church, lodge or union, with the single exception of COMA. His word was his bond, his competitor his friend, his life pure, brave, useful. Beloved of hia public as well as his company, his chief charactcrisiics were a aquare deal and then some, forgiveness for wrongs, gener¬ osity to a fault. Quirk of de<-islon, always sucressful, be died as he lived, a man.
Jlr. Tolbert Is survived by a brother and three sisters, who live in Greenville, Te,. The body was taken to that place for burial and was a-companled by Mrs Tolbert.

MENTION US, PLEASE--THE BILLBOARD
Concessionaires
I am under the impression that you are in business trying to make money, and to be truthful with you, if ever you had any competition and your competitor had his stand (lashed up with my No. 1, 2 and 3 size boxes, and would be working for a nickel, then you would have my sympathy, as he certainly would be getting the play and making money while- you would be standing idle. Or if you try to sell the same amount of numbers at a nickel and give away pack¬ ages that compare with mine, you would be losing money.
This is what can be done with my packages: You can work a 15-number lay-down at a nickel and give out four of the No. 1 size, two of the No. 2 size and one of the No. 3 size, and then still have a profit of one-half of the money you take in. The concession¬ aires that have seen my packages know they are won¬ derful and attractive, and the quality of the choco¬ lates is one of the biggest considerations. They are hand-dipped, hard and soft centers. The only trouble with them is that they are so good, and the assort¬ ment so great,that you will be compelled to put muz¬ zles on your help to keep them from eating up the
profits.
Do you know that this year I want you to be heart and soul with me and give me your support. I am going to give you in return quality, service and price, and at Christmas time I will convert myself into a Santa Claus and share my profits with you. Accord¬ ing to the amount of business you do with me, I will mail to each and every one that lives up to my con¬ tract a check. Now see how big you can make me write it.
My No. 1 size box measures 48x94; No. 2 size,
Gsxlll; No. 3 size, GlxlSl, at the following prices:
No. 1 Size. . .23 Cents
No. 2 Size .
. .38 Cents
No. 3 Size.63 Cents
Also offer you SOCIETY KISSES, the well known give-away package, at Slo.tK) per thousand boxes. A new price list is issuerl the first of every month.
Don't hesitate, its you are losing money every day that you run your concession without my goods. Write today for prices, catalogue, contracts, etc.
