Despite the fact that Bayly and Konorah explained the American situa¬ tion. the Ru.ssians contintially quoted that If It were p«>ssible for Kquity It should al.so be possible with the vaudeville sec¬ tion.
Bayly Interviewed Lonacharsky. Commi.ssar of Public Education, who is resiKinsible for Russian entertainments and who expresses the hope of an exchange of performers between Russia and Eng¬ land. Hitherto all British performers had to be booked thru Berlin agents, but Bayly sueceeded In op<'ning up direct communlcjttion between London and Mos¬ cow. Seven State circuses will be op«'rnfed as from September, each playing 12 acts monthly. I..;i.st year 68 non-Kussian acts received $160.ftftft in salaries plus free transport.ttion and accommodation.
Bayly came back with a glowing ac¬ count of the artistic and social life in Moscow and Li'ningrad. He al.so says there is every indication of progre.ssiveness in Ru.ssia's industrial and economic conditions.
Salary Dispute
San Francisco, June 7.--The final per¬ formance of Jane Cowl in Romeo and Juliet at the Curran Theater was halt<'d last night when an actors' strike was called by the Actors' Equity against Louis Macloon and sent the big audioni'' scurrying to the box office to get its money refunded.
Trouble arose between Macloon and Equity over a new play entitled One Trip of the Silver Star. It is understood that Macloon started rehearsals May 19. and June 1 posted a notice that the plav was called off but it is alleged failed to pay two we«-ks' compensation due, ac¬ cording to Equity rules.
Theodore Hale, attorney for Equity, served notice on the cast .shortly after 8 o'clock last night, just before the rise of the curtain.
At the Curran Theater it was stated today that the di-sagreement would not halt Macloon's I.ndy Be Good, which is scheduled for tonight.

Hollywood, June 6.*-An expenditiirp nf $1,500,000 will b« made by WaVI
producers, in connection with the construction of a first-run movie house to be known as Warner's Ho'lv\vr>od Theater. Harry M. Warner states that this theater is the first of a series planned In big cities whore the company has been unable to obtain a showing for its product. Tile Warners intend to lease or build theaters In all large cities where first-runs are now denied them.
The plans call for a structure much In the shape of the Woolworth Building In New York with a 150-foot steel tower rising from the roof. At the top of ihe tower there will be a revolving beacon light with a radius of seven miles and the tower will also include what are termed the largest chimes In the West, which will be oi^rated from the organ pit. The house, which will Include a balcony and will be of Gothic architecture, will scat about 3,000. The stage will contain a concealed tank on the order of the New York Hippodrome, which will be used for presentations. From the interior there will be a winding stair to the roof and tower, which will be open to the public. Tne stairway will have three landings and on each will be a movie museum containing many of the first cameras and other equipment first used when the industry was in its infancy.
On the 8<>cond floor there will be a large ballroom and In the basement a mammoth Ice-akating palace. There will also be a subeellar. which will be us^ for free parking space with room for 400 automobiles, which will be taken
charge of b.v attendants and delivered to the owner at the door after the per¬ formance.
A feature of the building will be a broadcasting station. KFWB, the Warner Brothers' station, which Is now located at their studio. It is planned to have the house completed by January 1, next.

New York, June 8.--Last week marked the sale of Proctor's Fifth Avenue, the most Important theater of the Proctor chain, and the sale the previous week of the I'roctor house In Elizabeth. N. J which has been Riven over to stock of recent years.
The disposal of these two theaters comes as a surprl e to the vaudeville world. The house Elizabeth was taken oyer by the Fabi ' people, who have started work on · ilarsinR and reoonBtructlnK It Into a larser theater. Title to the property, which was held at J350.000 accordina to reports, was taken May 25, and it Is the plan of the Fabian interests to play Kelth*Albee vaudeville when the house, opens.
The Fifth Avenue," one of New York's oldest theatrical landmarks, was sold at a reported $2,500,000 to Sohnee & Schnee. of BrldReport, Conn. Present leasehold on the property, held by the Kelth-Albee interest, does nOt expire until 1931 and it Is assumed that the theater will continue operatlnR under its present policy until that time. It has a seatinR capacity of 1,600 and in its day was one of New York's leadinR theaters. L^rite stores and offices are also part of the property, which Is situated on a desirable corner.
Since it became a vaudeville theater, controlled by Proctor, it has played bigtime acts from the Keith-Albee Circuit.

Bee Jaikaon is the "Charleaton'' dam-r r #ho was recently with Harry Rlchnuin
in vaudeville and also at the RIchman Oub. Just why thl« hrlef past "career" should make Bee Jackson so valuable to vaudr ville as to have her name out in lights on the theater marquee, as it was at thia theater, is one of t^ie many mysteries of vaudeville. It's certain t4iat the fact that Bee Jackson was formerly part of Harry Richman's "and company" doesn't mean a thing to the box office.
This dOT'sn't mean that Bee Jackson hasn't a likable personality and l.-^n't a lood dancer--in her line. She h.as and ·he la. It may be that the office Is trying to build a new headliner on the Jrenath of the "Charleston" craxe. Br-o hlmer r<.de In on the "shimmy", so it's W about aa fair for Bee Jackson to rw in on the "I'harleston".
The Chicago Serenadi rs, the orchestra with Miss Jackson, make a very good musical combination. There are nine men, ail attired in gray trousers and bluu wat.s. who are natiirallv ne.ot apiwarlng.
stratiiig a new vacuum cleaner, and tlia
man has a shoulder brace which he is
selling Both take turns at delivering
part of their sales talk and there are
a number of laughs In this part of tho
routine.
Later, of course., they inadvertently
meet and the truth is nut. Songs and
dances con. lude the offering, which Is
thii« roiinib'd off nicely. .\s always,
INtyle worked smoothiv and sold his end
of it in fine style. Miss Bonner did her
stuff well, and even if she didn't she
e*mld be forgiven. She's an eyeful no
niatter what the bo\-< ffice admission
price is and will undoubtedly develop to
the point where she'll b«` at home with
the tv'st of tho higllniers. In this act
the team has something worth while
showing at the larger vaudeville houses
anywhere.

an encore thev sang Riranee Rutferflu.
The pianist offered a solo between the
two ballads displaying unusual technique,
There is no reason why this duo can't
take a healthy wallop at the 8»`cond spot
right now of a big-time house and even a
better spot later on. The voices and
singing are of a brand not heard every
day in vaudeville.

MOVEMENTS OF ACTORS
Thp editor of this departmrnt visited the Princess show boat Monday niitht. June 1, at Constance. Ky.. and was very niuch impres.-«d by the cordiality shown him by Mr. and Mrs. Norman Thom and members of the cotnpany, the spirit of harmony prevailinK tiiruoiit. and last, but not least, the excellent performance Kiven. Altho not a larce boat, the Prince.ss Is Very n<at and compact, with cleanliness
heinj? the most conspicuous thincCourtesy is shown each patron from the time they buy tickets until the final curtain. The audience seemed to appre¬ ciate the courteous atmosphere, and the u.Mial noisy element wa.s lacking.
Klphteen people are carried, a surpris¬ ing number for a small boat, as many of the larger boats do not carry any more. All have comfortable and clean quarters, as the editor diwovered in his ramble over the boat, and the meal that was served bv the Thoms was worthy of praise. C. Raike, the pilot, is one of the
voiingest show-boat pilots on the rivers, nut in his three years of service on the I'rincess has never had a mishap.
The play. Miasie of tha Bine Ridna. was very well done, the dramatic action hold¬ ing the audience in su.spen.se thruout.
The lead work of Norman Thom and his wife, Ciace Null, stood way up. They
were capably supported by Robert Owens. Maister Walter Ma.son. William King. Karl Williams. Chester Raike, Willard Cole In a clever slave characterisation.
L<iwrence Jordon, Paul Mason, Jemima Castner, Pansv Mason and May Jordon.
Neat vaudeville specilatles were In¬
troduced hv Williams and Cole, doing a singing and talking turn, and Cole and Owens, dancing. * The concert afterpiece
was a huge scream from start to finish. Barnum tl'os Bifiht being the title. In this work of Owens. Williams. Raike. Cole and Ma.v Jordon amu.«ed the audi¬ ence highly, keeping all In their seats until the end.
One novelty noted was the distribution of t>rograms. an Idea thiit other ^how boats might take up. Business was very good, the auditorium being filled. Most everyone stayed for the afterconcert.
Columbus. O., June 8.--The Meta Walsh Players are soon to begin their season under canvas. They will return to the territory played last summer with a new and complete repertoire of plays, three jf which have been lea.sed from John Lawrence. The outfit is being completely f'erhaulrd and i>aintcd. New seats, ·cenery and draperies will be seen this teason. The policy this year will be dramatic plays, corhedies and vaudeville.

Jeannette MacDonald, late of The Uetnic
St. Louis, June 6.--Walter R. Lang's Youth and Beauty Revue of 1926,
possessed from his home; you laugh at her love--making and rejoice at her finally getting larded with the comedy attorney.
Off the stage. Miss Auburn is th. ex¬ act opposite of her part. Clever, lovable, wholesome and serious is this beautiful young actress. How she con¬ ceals her winning smile in Lady, Be Good, is .a marvel. Surely she must be versa¬ tile.
The present appearance Is her first on Broadway, hut an investigation brines forth a background and training that sliould carry her far. She spent most of the earlier years of her life in study abroad. Voice culture, singing and dra¬ matic art came in for the largest share of her efforts. After an intensive course with the famous Camille Grieg Miss Au¬ burn went on the professional stag. In Norway and Sweden and played, in the Scandinavian tongue, a long rep.rtoire of Ibsen, Bjornsnn and other classical dramas. Interesting stories are told of her participation In the various sports of the Northern countries, including an ex¬ perience skiing with the Crown Prince of Norway.
Three years ago she returned to America and join* d the Woodward I'lay¬ ers in Detroit. Feeling a n.-ed for ad¬ ditional training to that of the excellent school of stock, she went into vaudeville and more recently tried her luck in pic¬
oiHiied May 16 at New Mannion's I'ark tures. Her last screen appearance was

Ted Long is business agent for the

Woods might find her an excellent Iris for his Green flat If n. r.-hHii.-e something should happen to disappoint us all in our antl.'ipation of seeing Katherine Cornell in the role. But then type and personality are not always the roads to en engagement, for certainly whoever cast Jayne Auburn for her pres¬ ent part saw b«'.vond that.

"WHEN YOU SMILE" LOOKS_PR0MIS1NG

the minds of many locai th« atevKO* i>,
James 1'. Hi ury. who sponsored tiiat
viniure, present* d lu re this we-ek at the
Walnut Street Theater anotlier musical
piece by Johnstone and a few collabora¬
tors. entitled UTicn You SntUr, with
iHH'k by Johnstone and Jack Allcoate,
music by Johnstone, lyrics by I'hil Cook
and dances and ensembles by Larry
l'eh.allos. Oscar EaRle staged the pro¬
duct on, and the presentation Is belnc
made by B. ury under the direction of
John Jay Scholl.
When You Smile is a mu.sical comedy
in three acta and six acenea, based on
the play Extra, which was produced in
New York for a very brief run a few
sea-sons back. There is more of a plot
to the atfair than moat musical comedu's
contain nowadays, and it revolves around
a >piiiled colleKe boy who surprises his
father l>y accomplishinK (treat things
with d.iii's motion iiicture paper an<l
winninK a wife for himself. In artaptinc
the idea for musical entertainment a
good d- .il of extraneous and iinent* rt.iin-
ing maiti r was either left in or put In
by mi-'.t.ike, hut with the cuttlnj; of all
the Weak stuiT and the substitution of
sever.il more strong specialties the show
ought to luive no trouble lasting thru
the summer.
The entertainment as a whole is full
of pep and has tuneful music. There is
some fine talent in the cast, while the
chorus is one of the most acti\e and
attractive groups of young acrobatic
dancers ever seen here. It Is only a
small chorus, but what it lacks in num¬
bers it makes up in talent, vivaciousness
and charm. Every appearance these
Kiris made brought heavy applause.
-Mary Carroll, who plays the leading
feminine role, wins her way with a de¬
lightful p«'rsnnality. despite the fact that
she has very little opportunity to dis¬
play her hi'st talent, and Ray Uaymmul
acts opposite her In a pleasing manner.
If Raymond 4iad a better voice to go
with his good appearance and lik.ible
stage pre.sence he would make .'vAflne
leading man. Charles Lawrence does
fairly well with the comedy responsibil¬
ity, extracting all the laughs that the
bonk contains--and. as usual. It doesn't
contain quite enough--and Dorothy Ap¬
pleby IS one of the liveliest and most
engaging little comediennes that have
visited this city in a long while.
Other principals who assist capably
include Williajn Ralfour, Dodson L.
Mitch* ll, Mildred Richardson. H.arold
Vizard, riiilip Lord. Alb*'rt Phillins.

New York, June 6.--For several sea¬ sons pa.-^t. Harry "Rib'' Shannon and Rich "Shorty" Mc.Mlister w«-ie featured coniicuos in various Columbia Circuit shows, in which their coniratling per.sonalitics and individual talent and ability combined made them incom¬ parable.
Like many other teams, they eventually decided on a parting of the wa>s and continued along their individual pursuits until Monday, when Dave Kraus, an of¬ ficial of the Mutual Burle.sque As.sixjiatioij. lessee and directing manager of the Dlympic Theater, presenting Mutual Cir¬ cuit shows during the regular sea.son and burlesque stock presentations during the summer, reached the decision that it was an opportune time to blend into harmony again the team of Shannon and McAlli.ster.
Bringing all hi.s well-known diplomacy into play "Diplomatic" Dave brought the.se clever performers together by ad¬ justing all differences amicably and en¬ gaged them for a Piimmer run at the Olympic Theater, beginning June 8.
Diplomacy vs. Simon Legretism
VV'hile one leading light of burlesque Is ti.'itig diidoniacy in bringing order out of chaos and bringing disgruntled perform¬ ers together, thereby co-operating for mutual 4)enefits, there is another leading light of burlesque u^'ing Simon T..egreeism jn making conditions chaotic and driving otherwise friendly burlesquers apart who have co-operated for years for mutual benefit"
V'erily the ways of some men are In¬ explicable.

T>-e Baker In Odd Man Oxit furnishes in int"'sting study In Intonation. The Ine.eh of Mr. Baker la alwayt gooi In tUb particular com^y It stood out for different reasons. The play Is adapted To flowing convcraatlon with no prilculir leaninss toward the emotional or the drat alic and the cast la small. Kxcept fnr certain facetious crimps In the dialog ihe en>'vmont of the lines depends very mSch on the Individuality of the actor anil his ability to be pleasing in himself. The plot of the play has no particular monuntum In the speeches, and for this
reason Mr. Baker's personality went a tong way toward filling In the gaps of a light piece. This opened the way to listen to Mr. Baker's intonation with un¬ interrupted attention.
\ Kood deal Is said about British Intonation. It Is easily recognized On
the stage It Is easily Imitated by come¬ dians and It Is unconsciously Imitated by anyone that comes in contact with It. The tune i.- fairly d<finite. I^liave heard n.uch le.'s about American Intonation, and
1 am not >ure that anyone has attempted
to DOint out what It is. .American 8P*ech tonei are usually described as more monofoivus than the British, and this is
Ihe opinion of American observers.
.Mr Riker. in my opinion, has beautiful intonation, something that glvea remark¬ able life to thought and a aense of musi¬ cal charm to the ear. He Is an American actor, born In Michigan, and I can not detect the slightest trace of British tune
in his speech. It Is difficult to say that he la typically American, for he Is sev¬ eral notches above that, but his Intona¬ tion. I am sure, reprcs. nts semething that la representative of American tempera¬
ment and ear when It comes to speech in Its best form. lam Inclined to con¬ sider him a model American for want of a better example of what belongs to pleasing and expres.sive speech. Observa¬ tion of Mr. Baker proved so Interesting that I went bai-k to see him after the plav to quiz him a little about his knowledge of the subject. As I expected I found the actor quite unable to ex¬ plain him.>^e1f. He la not the leart sHfconsclous about his voice or speech either on the stage or off. On the stage. In fact, he strictly avoids hearing himself er watching hlniself as a speaker. I shall have to put It in mv own words, but In a part he app.irenilv "thinks" right and feels' right about what he Is saying and then he hts his delivery take Its natural form. Perhaps that la one of the charms of Mr. Baker that his delivery is so un.tffected and apparently unstudied in every way. He has a remarkably free voice, a good range, an admirably blend¬ ed resonance and a particularly sensitive touch of the voice In Its various shading*.
He comes from educated parents and from a family of musicians. His natur.al
ear has probably p'aved a large part In hit .-peerh development.
Harold E Palmer Is author of a book
on rnfflifh Infonafion. The object of bis
br>ok Is to place on record "a character¬
istic collection of the tones and tone
compounds as ohsorved In the speech of
most Southern English people In ordinary
convef! at ion." It pmst
remembered
that anything he says relates to the
speech of Southern England. Anyone who
has stiidiid a foreign language will Im¬
mediately recognlre that intonation Is an
important factor in language study. We
Immediately find this to be true If we
are t»achlng a Frenchman or an IfalWin
or a riilnam.in to spiak English, or If a
Krenchman Is trying to teach us to speak
Vrcnch In this connection Palmer is
qul»o Justified in saying ; "Pronunciatton
and Intonation are so bound up with each
other that it Is futile to teach or to
learn one without the other." Mr. Palmer
srheg his hook on the assumption that
'her,. IS .1 ''distinct and coherent system"
In the speech tunes of British speech In
Southern England, and his book goes a
long way to prove that such la the case.
John Ersklne. writing on this same snhjei t in Thr Snfinn (.April IB), has this to say: "Tho they use the same words, the Englishman and the Anierh-iin <io not speak the same tune." Ersklne qoesn't pretend to know why this Is so. and. .xltho he considers the British tune pretty to the ear, he finds that It often Brings thr accent of the sentence Info ronflli-t with the logic of It. He gives an llhistratinn:
"Is Mrs. Smith at home?" "She ts not." s;iys the Irish maid. "She Isn't," tavs the English one.

(w) and (.w) are a pair, one voiced, the other voiceless, hut the (.w)
is said with a tense breath. Say "which witch" ('.witj 'wifj), and
compare the two sounds. See "would" (wvd). sentence 2, and
"whisker" ('.wisk.3). sentence 4.
(q) in "singer" ('.siqa)--sentence 4--shows that "ng" is uttered as a
single sound. The back tongue and soft palate coming together
produces a nasal resonance.
(j) represents the ordinary untrilled "r" of English.
(j) See "yes" (jes). sentence 4. The (j) in (jes) is a glide sound.
It is practically an (t)--(i) in "it" (it) glided. Say (i-cs) and
then (jes) to get the connection. To beginners the (j) naturally
suggests the lettRr "j". of the alphahet, which is named (d.sei),
but this confusion may he avoided by associ.ating the sound (j)
with the sound (i) as already illustrated.

accustomed to use to express supercilious¬ ness and contempt."
To Ersklne 8 mind Americans are los¬ ing their ear or are In danger of losing it. "For In the matter of the tune we have departed not only from the English but from our earlier selves. To my ears the tune of Walt Whitman, the longphrased. varied, sinuous tune. Is the tune of Lincoln In the Gettysburg Address. The tune of Miss Lowell's verse seems to me the tune of Roosevelt's prose."
Mr. Erskine's remarks and my interest In Mr. Baker are all en rapport with something that has been turning over in niy mind whenever 1 havje tried to arrive at some formula about American intonatiop. Certain speei'h tunes are a part of my earliest recollections. 1 associate them with a certain village In New Eng¬ land which I visited a good deal as a boy. One person in this group, born I suppose about 1845, cast a spell over my ear so that some of the simplest expres¬ sions that this person u.sed run thru my mind because of the music of their utteranee, and the same is true of the longer tunes In continued conversation. Ana I recognize that this tune was more or less charaeterlstic of the people In this retired old village which had once been quite a center of activity. Mr. Baker quite entirely coincides with this thing of my nnemory, and so I am bound to cling to him as a representative American.
The American tune, as I sense It, is less conventionalized than the British. It is more expanding, more improvised and more logical. It is more directly ex¬ pressive of the personality, less directly an expression of a social form. The in¬ dividual speaks his own music rather more than he subscribes to a national hymn. At the same time there must be something fundamentally tangible In the intonation, otherwise the American would mi.sunderstand the American Just as successfully as he may misunderstand the Englishman whose tone of frlendl.v solicitude may he misjudged as an^ ex¬
pression of superciliousness and contempt. What is striking In the Intonation of
Mr. Baker Is Its variety and its general fitne.ss to what Is being said. Its tune, if it may be palled a tune, fits every shade of the meaning. It Is born anew with every breath and doesn't run in channels. It has a democratic frankness, a willingness to say exactly what one means with word.s and tones chiming together. And I wonder If this Is not characteristic of American speech. 'The Englishman In his effort to be con-* servafive often makes up in Intonation what he refrains from putting Into words. This works both wavs. He partly con¬ ceals himself, both In his expression of admiration and of contempt, or at least he Is able to do so. Tha American Is less likely to conceal himself at all. In its" crudity this may lead to extreme bluntness, hut In Its best form It may lead to great beauty and elegance of expression in this sense of freedom, with , a fine sense of unity and completeness. But It Is a venturesome task to write about American intonation until someone comes along to study It thoroly and to carefully record Its uprisings and downsittings.
A good deal of discussion about "Ameri¬ can language" and British speech Is due
to a confusion of pronunciation and In¬ tonation. The two things have to be kept separate. Two actors may speak the same standard of pronunciation, but the tune of one may make him especially Britl.sh and the tune of the other may make him e.specially American. And even in these I'nited States we would find Vermont, San Francisco and Texas speak¬ ing tunes of noticeable difference. 'The term Standard English usually refers en¬ tirely to pronunciation, but it Is easily recognizable on the stage In the pulpit and In soi-iety that to speak Standard English in a full sense is to avoid regional intonation quite as much as other things that are regional.
In Odd Man Out the dialog Is carried entirely by four characters. Jamea Crane Is somewhat colorless aa a speaker. He says his lines In a fairly level Intonation and with little imagination. A good deal of the action and di.ilog is leisurely and slow motioned and weak in su.spense and rising Interest. A. E. Anson was not only deliberate hut somewhat heavy as odd man number two. Alma Tell gave considerable color to the capriciousnesa of a roving wife. She gave plauaibllity to outward attractiveness and to the soulless inwardness in a delicate sort of Way and with a pleasant sense of the humorous psychology in the situations. Such a character does not take Itself tix* seriously, and Miss Tell gave easy mohilify to the rapid vacillations of a flexible temperament. One of Miss Tell'S faults Is to flood her voice with emo¬ tional waves of tone, something th.it I associate with a sfock-.acting Impulse. 'These emotional swellings In the throat have no particular depth of meaning, and thev are Inclined to drown nut or over¬ power the spoken words. If emotion Is worth white it needs to make Itself felt in he lines, not somewhere behind the word that Is uttered. The real fusion of the dialog in 0</d Mon Out came from the quick su.sceptibillties and apt speech
of Mr. Baker.

The Billboard's FREE SHOPPING SERVICE
The Ensemble Leads the
Summer Style Promenade
Detetiptiott and price in The Shopping Service column, this page.
Decidedly chic are the summer boas. desiRncd to pive to the sheer siiniiiier froe'k the faseinatiiip I'ontrast of a deeper color. Marabou niak-s the audaciouslooking choker illustrated at the top i>f this column. Wired beneath soft silk it coils snuglv about the neck* and needs no fastener. Tlie .«treaniers are of a inatciiing shade of silk crepe, finished with pompons of the marabou. When one grows tired of wearing it about the neck she transftrs it to the wrist. Comes in the prevailing shades of tan. gray, n*ahogany, yellow and brown. The price
is $5.93.
A bit more elegant in effect, if not quite so chic, is the mfirabou boa illus¬ trated at the top of the Clinipsing tin* Mode column, this page. The marabou is s«'wn on georgette, the ends of the diaphanous material continuing into broad streamers, finished with silk fringe to match. The colors are rust. be;ge, gray and black. The price is $4.95.
There isn't a question about it. the
ensemble consisting of a diaphanous coat
thru which one catches glimpses of a
colorful frock is the favorite garimnt in
milady's summer wardrobe. It offers so
many definitely different color combina¬
tions that the wearer does not e.\pect to
meet others wearing the same colors as
she fares forth to a saunter or after¬
noon tea. a versatility tiot sliared by the
tailored suit and costume blouse.
For the benefit of tliose not in New
York a P'iflh avenue shop is_ disposing of
the two ensembles at
an oif< r
whi( h holds good during- the month of
June only. Knsemhle No. 83 includes a coat of
navy or black silk georgette, trimmed at
the bottom and sleeves with baixls of
moire ribbon and a tie of self-material,
and a frock of i)rinted silk crepe de
»'hine. The frock f' ature.s a pliati d
skirt trimmed with bone buttons and
finished with s«'lf-material tie. The
frock may be had in navy and r-d, navy
and white or Copenhagen blue and white.
The price is $29.50. Sizes 14 to 18 and
36 to 44.
Knsemhle No. 73 sliows a different
method of trimming, the silk georgette
coat, which may be had in black or
navy, being trimmed with picoted satin
tabs, which form a tuehing effect on
the hem and sleeves. The dress is of
jirinled silk erepe de chine with a satin
band down tlie front, trimmed with nov-
eltv buttons, and nia.v he ordererl in lilack
and white with a purple, blue or green
flower design. The price is $29.50. Sizes
14 to-18 and 36 to 44.
One of the fads of the summer is to wear an upiier-arm bracilet, consisting of rows--five rows to be exact--of small indestructible jiearls. These- lovely and cool-looking armlets come in tlirec sizes. 11 inches in circumference, llt-i^and 12 inches. The pric-es are $6..70, $7.50 and $8..50 ac<-ording to size. They are slipped

THE tS'KUlM.lL A rI'M!EL WOES AT BELMOST I'AEK
To glimpse the modes worn at Belmont Park, where "the .sfsirt of kings', raviriK. holds bwa.y, and to cutnpare them with sketches of tho.se worn at the rae«» at I'aris, is to be impresset] with the grace¬ fulness and .'Oneness of -Vinerican-made fashions. Here are some of the goodlooking clothes glimiised at lb Imont:

A brown ka.sha .-oaf was gor. d. the body part well fitt. d and the skirt flaring out irregularly at the hem.
One distinguished looking woman wore an ensemble of navy-blue faille, the shawl-ctdlar revtres of the coat and the lining composed of red and white cheek.d silk, b.aliit of the frotk also b.ing of the same ^ilk.
A charming jump«-r frotk of sag. -cre.n crepe silk, the jumper triinm- d with .silver embroidery and la.'.il up both tides with sll\.`r cord, was worn by an Buburn-haifed b.-auty.
A coat of natural kasha was trimtn.d nlsiut shawl collar and hem with silvtrmoiik. y fur.

Tip* From a Reader
A reader s»nd.s along "a few tip.s on
makeup for the jirtfenile," who he believes needs a few lessons:
·^n't overlook the ears when making
up.'* writes he. "The lobe of a healthy
ear matches the color of the cheek, so
don't forget when using rouge to apply
It to the ears.
"A very long chin, out of proportion
with a small nose, may be made to look
shorter by applying wet rouge to the tip.
"When the chin recedes and the no.se
is long correct matters by touching up the
chin'T^weithnloisgeht
flesh-ncolorcd grease paint. which is too long will
appear shorter if a very light touch of
wet rouge is applied to the end.
"Men of fair complexion need b'ue
shadows applied to the eyelids to avoid
a washed-out look."

LttNDON, May 20.--f»o far ns can be judgeil the weather has brok'-n and the sum¬ mer days have come. Show business m.ny b«` expected to suffer accordingly.
Tlie Dan Fit' h Mmstrels are putting on practically the entire sliow this week (June 1-6) at the Palace Theater, Cinciiiiiiti, and are going over splendidly. All the new-»pai>ers are devoting a lot of space to the boys, and especl.ally to Dan. The CiiiviiiHoti Tiinea-Sfar has this to Say about liim: "With the passing of 'Honey Boy' Kvans several years ago and more recently L«-w Dockstader, min¬ strelsy suffered a loss that many in the tli»Hitrical profession declared would gradually n-siilt in this f'jrm of enter¬ tainment b'-i 'iiiiing only a memory. Cer¬ tainly no two indiviiluals did more to keep the black-fa<-e funster, singer and dancer before the public than Bvans and Doi'kstader, and tlieir demise was a severe blow to the branch known as the burnt-cork brigade. But those who pre¬ dicted a complete downfall of this style of amusement reckoned without a young fellow who had bt-cn blackfacing ever since he was 12 years old. and who had a pretty good idea of the hold that min¬ strelsy has S'* the public. He Is Dan Fitch head of the I>an Fitch Minstrels, the feature attraction at the Palace Thea¬ ter. Altho Fitch is now only In his early 30s. he is regard'-d as a inin.str' l veteran, having been In the busin -s.s for the past 22 vears. Working uii'ler Kvans, Dockstader, Nell O'Brii-n and other famous minstrel men. Fitch absorbed a lot of the knowl'-dge of these celebrat'-d enter¬ tainers and showmen with which he has combined some original Ideas of his own. That the combination has struck a popu¬ lar chord is evident by the success tnat has followed the Fitch minstrels." 'The editor did not review the show at th" Palace, but the man who did reported li to be a very good one, with the work of Fitch being exceptionally worth watching. Joe Riley, Charlie Childs, Frank Qinr.ii and Fred Barnes were also mentioned.

Mine Host at tbe Stuart Hotel. Boston,
Plays Philanthropist To Stranded Actors
Paul Porter, momber of a theatrical company playing Boston recently, along with othc-r members of the company, were guests of the Stuart Hotel. 78 Carver street.
When the producing firm closed the show and left the company stranded they Rent an appeal for as.'^lstance to the Actors' Iviuity and Informed Dr. William -Murphy, directing manager of the hotel, as to i-onditions.
On being inform, d of their distress Dr. Murphy assured them that, as members of Equit.v, he had every confidence In their integrity, furthermore was ready ;ind willing to release their baggage and j.dvanoe them Immediate transportation to New York and await settlement of their respective accounts at their con¬ venience.
Verily, It pays to be a member of Equity, an organization that Is recog¬ nized thruout the country as a standard of Integrity, that works to the benefit of Its members wherever they may be.

(s Self-Explanatory and Requires No Comment
The Lambs. New York.
Mr. Prank Olllmore,
Executive Secretary,
Actors' EquHy As.soclation,
New York City.
My Dear Mr. Glllmore -- It Is my
humble belief that the extreme courtesy,
tnnfi.lence and aid of the management
of the Stuart Hotel. Boston, to embar¬
rassed members of the Actors* Equity
.Association Is worthy of being brought
to the attention of the council and officers
of that association.
M'Tien players are abondoned by the
producers of a play, with both salaries
and return fares to New York unpaid,
and a hotel keeper not only refuse* to
hold effects but advances money and
personal effort on expressed faith and
confidence In the A. E. A.. It Is certainly
a testimonial to the changed standing,
economically and socially, of the actor.
This circumstance occurred to members
f.f a company of which I was one, and
T am occupving this much of your valu¬
able time to relate what to me seemed
more than a graceful gesture.
Allow me also to express appreciation
to the association for Its prompt and
thoro answer to a "stranded" company's
call for aid.
Rtncerly yours.
(Signed) PAUL PORTER.

Tliur.iioa's letter follows:
"Iteply.iiK to Mr. Clayton's letter which
vou priiiiid in the last Issue of The Bill-
hoard. I am sending the following for his
information:
I fc l a hesitancy In writing so much
about myself and hope that tliese state*
in-Ills uill not he taken in a boastful
way. The published letter asked what
tricks I invented and asked me to explain
liv uhat liglit I elaim my methods of
presenting several illusions.
·I was the first to give a regular
performance with back-hand palming and
oriuinatid several of these effects 27
year* ago. I invented `water from a
eoeoan'it shell' 23 years ago. (The Idea
w.is siigcisted by John N. Hilliard.)
"1 invented `balloons from the hat* 23

h.'en used in my performances at various
tiiJJ'S for years and are proven successes. "Mr. Iiante has liad charge of pi.v shop
for three years. It miglit intere.st the reader to know that at times we emplov as many as 30 p. opie. manv of them .skilled mechanics, and that I have spent niore than $400,000 in the past 30 years In experimenting and building magic and effects.
"In making out my Income tax for last year It showd $49,000 spent for produc¬ tion only. All of this spf'nt In experi¬ menting and building Improvements for my show. These figures will, undoubtedly, be a surpri.se to many ma^cians who
have had little or no experience in con¬ ducting a big magic show.
"I probabl.v would never have published these facts had I not been requested to
make a statement as to what effects I have originated. Nearly all the effects referred to above were produced because I knew of some similar effects and com¬ bined the known principles of magic.
`There are few who can claim absolute originality, but those who care to apply themselves can usually produce new effects along the lines of old principles. T have been forced to do so to maintain
as himself, but for the sake of the pro¬ fession at large."
Montreal Magi Form Club
Magicians of Montreal. Can. have or¬ ganized a "Montreal Magicians' Club", according to an interesting letter sent this department by Eric Ilalini, the magi¬ cian and card deceptionist. Sydney Levine has been elected president of the organization and the other oflicers are: Robert Adrien, secretary, with AV'illety Donat. A. Gagnon, De Kermel. Svmon A'libha. George Williams and Eric Halinl comprising the executive committee.
Willard, "the man who grows", played Montreal recently, according to Ilalini. who writes that besides doing his regular act Willard is doing an expose of the "front and back" palming of card.-<. AA'illet.v Donat, Belgian magician, fea¬ tures this trick and naturally resents the expose of it on the part of AVillard. Our correspondent tells us that as a result Donat has started to do the "growing" stunt himself, and now both "gTowing" and the "front and back" card-palming tricks are being done by all the school¬ boys of Montreal.
The Great Chefalo opened a tour of the Panfages Circuit m Toronto, Ont., May tfi. Chefalo is offering an act which Is a distinct novelty to vaudeville audi¬ ences today. His magic is different from the average and his settings very unique.
A fire. May 23. did considerable dam¬ age to the Olympia Tlieatcr. Wheeling. W. Va. The blaze originated In a room Avhere bills and ivstera were stored back of the ticket office and over the foyer. A hole about 20 feet square Ava.s burned in the roof. The blaze was discovered by Joe Marling, an employee of the Spragg Amusement Company, who went to the theater to look after the distribution of some handbills. The damage has not been estimated.

during the past fortnight, when he played that city with his h,vpnotic act. He used his "sleeping beauty" stunt with such success that he nut one over on the local
hospital and police authorities. His part¬

Ohoma, ``the modern mental mystic",
seems to think that the circular exposing variou.s methods of mindieading, issued l.y Kara, and which was discussed In these columns recently, is not really directly traceable to Kara himself, but
perhaps to the work of an ignorant or unscrupulous press agent. .Art K. nned.v. who is now associated with Ohoma and his show as business representative,
writes the following in regard to Ohoma'*
views on the subject: "Anent the article that appeared in

Decoration Day, the geUaway date for many summer enterpribes and the first big business-building day for projects
already open, did not prove so alluring as usual, for the weather was not altogether propitious. Krgo. the mind of the Page wandered a bit from the purely commerrial things and we noticed some tilings that may have otherwise passed unobserved.
For instance, there were the Memorial Day processions and tlie exercises con¬ nected with commemorating the soldiers who have given their lives for their country. There is many a trouper-soldier in the cemeteries of our land, and tliere are many in the profession who have soldiered in our wars. Many belong to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Sons of Veterans organizatipn, American l.egion and similar bodie*. Yet a pitiable f< w took occasibn to participate in tlie memo¬ rial services In New York or elsewhere in the country.

Wlien asked about the matter several gave petty excusi-s that proved they iiad simply never given any thought to such serious matters.

'Phe Page has visited the subdivision and was most favorably impressed with tlie beauty and accessibility of the loca¬ tion. The Idea of an artist owning his home there or anywhere else/ is a com¬ mendable one. and the di-slrahility of having a home amid neiglibors with similar interests is one that has b<-'n demonstrated all over the country h.v white showfolks at Sarasota, Fla.; in CrTTtfornia. in several spots on Long Island and in New Jersey. \Ve are glad to have the group follow such excellent examples.

To Protect, Improve and Advance
The Repertoire and Tent Interests
The interests of the repertoire and tent showmen have long been
neglected. Hostile legislation has been enacted or attempted from
time to time, territories taken away by combines, operating and
traveling conditions made more difficult to meet and the popularity of
itinerant shows menaced by injurious and false propaganda. Even the
relations between the repertoire and tent show owners and their actors
have not always been smooth and satisfactory.
^
After giving the subject a great deal of thought it seemed to us
that the Actors' Equity .Association constitutes the logical protector of
the repertoire and tent interests, and in touching upon the subject with
an official of that organization we find that the association has already
considered the question very seriously.
Equity's idea is that, if all repertoire and tent show managers will
register with it for a nominal fee, the association will in turn, and upon re¬
ceipt of complaints that any inimical legislation or other harmful ac¬
tivity is being attempted against traveling shows immediately send a
representative to the scene of action and set its other machinery at
work to protect the interests of these shows. Much good work along
these lines has already been done by Equity, and more can be accom¬
plished with the co-operation of those who are most concemed-
Anolhcr excellent idea that Equity is working out for the benefit
of repertoire and tent showmen is a plan whereby an affiliation will
be effected with well-known playwrights for the purpose of making
the better class of popular plays available to small traveling show's at
a very low cost--say something like $70 a week for a complete reper¬
toire of seven plays. An arrangement of this kind would ultimately
prove most advantageous to both sides, because a low'cr royalty would
enable the small shows to use a greater number of good plays, and the
better class of entertainment offered by these companies would attract
bigger audiences.
This scheme seems to us to be potentially good and sound. Its
realization should mark a new era for the repertoire and tent fields.
Only thru organization can these interests ever obtain the needed pro¬
tection against existing powerful hostile elements and other inimical
forces thaf are liable to crop up hi the future. In addition to serving
in a protective capacity. Equity, thru the medium of the proposed
advisory board of the theater, will be in a position to look after the
improvement and advancement of,the repertoire and tent interests just
as it is doing in the legitimate field.
That the small traveling show interests need an effective organiza¬
tion is beyond dispute, and the opportunity for these interests to be¬
come allied with the Actors' Equity Association ought to be greeted
w'ith rejoicing. We would like to have expressions of opinion from
repertoire and tent managers on this subject
From the M. P. T. O. A. has come the urgent request that exhibitors al¬ locate a fair number of their play dates to recognized independent producers. Pledge cards have been mailed to the theater owners. An appeal has been is¬ sued to members of the organization to immediately pay their dues, as the fiscal year began June 1. Without this money the M. P. 'T. O. A. will have its hands tied in its fight for independence. Delay and neglect in signing the pledge cards will also raise havoc with the program of attack. Motion picture theater men must not procrastinate in the matter. It lies with them to maintain the spirit of harmony and co-operation which had its inception at Milwaukee.^ To fail to do this is equivalent to inviting ex¬ termination from the exhibitorial field.
A SHORT time ago there was a con¬ vention of newspaper men in Min¬ neapolis, and in his speech to them Governer Christianson made the follow¬ ing remark that can be applied very nicely to some theatrical producers: "His wares must have a better justifica¬ tion than a public demand for them."
A REFERENCE to the possibility of another dramatic circuit similar to the old Stair & Havlin Circuit, in an editorial in this publication last week, aroused interested discussion in a group of experienced Chicago show¬ men. One thought such a circuit is bound to come or drama is bound to go save in repertoire, stock and Broad¬ ways $hows on one-night stands. Then another man spoke, and it seemed the rest were itnpressed.
"Such a circuit is impossible," he de¬ clared. "Wlierc are you going to get the theaters? The Keith-.Mbee Circuit has so many houses sewed up east of the Mississippi River that vou can't get theaters for a circuit. What theaters the Kcith-.\lbee people^ do not play vaudeville in they play pictures in. and, believe me, they are running a lot of movie houses. Like any other circuit the K.-.\. people keep possible opposi¬
tion as far in the background as they
_
can."
' .And this from another of the group:
I tain sections are none too good.

enough. If youMl b*-Ileve the subtitles, she visits him at his studio. Ho being something of an honorable man, admits to her husband, Michael, his love for her. Coupled with this theme Is a second and a considerably more Interesting story concerning a young Englishman, Tony Bicket, who is discharged from the publi.uhlng concern headed by Mont when he steals to buy luxuries for his pretty wife. Victorlne. In the course of events rhe obtains a job of posing in the nude for the artist and when her husband hears the news he Is ready to commit murder, with the painter as his victim. Fleur then comes forward with the statement that she was In the studio while the girl posed. Her husband, believing that Fleur loves Desert, leaves her but returns when
he learns she is to have a baby. Yes, the plot Is ns "dumb" as It sounds.
Barbara La Marr is billed as the star of the pre.-entatlon but is con.servatlve in h r donations of acting. Thomas HoldIng. as her husband, gives a fine per-
formance, the only flaws apparently b«»Ing due to the direction which makes him
act simple-minded at times. Flora Le Breton Is splendid as Victorine and Charles Emmet Mack, who plays her husband, is equally gooi The film would be stronger providing it was built around them. Tammany Young, Broadway's
king of gatecrashers. Is cwklng as Bill Hawkes, Blcket's crony. Other players are : Henry Victor, who 1. fair as the artist; Colin Campbell and George
husband marries the good and pure "other woman". Under mo.st circumstances It would flop di.sastrously but in this case the cluiracters are delineated so expertly that tne picture turns out fairly well, This Is rnt--d as a fair attraction from a box-office viewpoint for the larger theaters, but it will be apt to bore other audiences.
The narrative concerns Nadlo, crystalgazer, who meets Joe Woodbury when she delves into the fortune of his unfaithful wife, Eleanor. Their friendship propresses at a party given by Mrs. vVisidbury. The wife^s Jealousy is arou-s* d when, while out with a male friend, she comes across Nadio and Joe In a suppi-r club. Eleanor later tells Nadio that she Is to have a baby, the Information re-
suiting In the crystal-gazer deciding to let Joe alone. Eleanor and her mascullne companion escape from a notorious roadhouse while It Is b«'ing raided by police and she, slightly hurt. Is taken to Nadlo's apartment after Nadio and Dr.
Malllnl, an old friend, find them out in the country. The physician's exatrination
satisfies Nadio that Eleanor has been ly¬
ging to her. She summons Joe and in his resence denounces his wife. The squable concludes with a divorce suit pend¬ ing and Joe and Nadio in love.
A splendid conception of Nadio Is offered by Jacqueline ^Leopgaann, wnho is spirited and genuine. Belle Bennett Is splendid as Eleanor and Clive Brook .plays her husband ably. The remaining
way, w ho is still going down hill. Despite
her efforts to make Conway let llqu ir

field, such as the commen.-enient fhid and 'he county institutes, might be left
to th.it org.inization. I do not believe that any bureau is sufficiently interested
in i.ilnr of those fields to make any objt. 'i'in. Even a small busiti'.ss of that
sort rvould pay the expense of the extra

Of course, to make anything of that sort effective It would have to hive the

be at once definite and helpful. It should
be so organized that there would never

The announcement of the death of Dr. Frank Dixon came as a shock to all mem¬ bers of the I. E. C. A. We were able to publish a portrait last week and a simple atinouriceiiient. We liave been unable to obtain up to this time a suitable article In regard to the life and work of Dr. Dixon. The following letter sent by Dr. i'aul Pearson gives additional In¬ formation, however. I>r. Pearson says :
'1 am writing this just after the fnneral service.s of Frank Dixon, which w. re held at the home In Brooklyn at 9 :30 this morning. Dixon had been sb k for five We ks with shifting pneumonia, which Is (lifficnlt, if not impos.sible, to cure, so I am told. When tlie affected siM.t In one jiart of the lung Is heab d an¬ other spot apiiears at a iioint far re¬ moved from the affected area. Prank'.s son, Oeorge. who is a practicing physician In Brooklyn, was in con-stant attendance and supplemented bis servicfi with that of the most skilled specialists In New York. Frank was onl.v 59, but on examin.itlon they found he had a body of 80. 80 that he had only the chance of a man of 80 to pull thru.
"A.s I knew the family well Mr. Dixon kept me Informed and Saturday morning they wired that the end was exiiected that day. He died at 2:30 ji m. Saturday.
"Murray Dixoh of Birmingham. Ala., was with his father at the last, as was the daughter Barbara, who is a senior at Columbia. The oldest son. Max, an engineer. Is In Alexioo and could not be reached.
"The funeral service was attended only bv the family. Thos. Dixon was there and the two sisters. A.i C. Dixon is at the point of death in a hospital in Balti¬ more. A simple but impressive service was read by a former classmate of Frank's at Hartford Theological, who also read a few verses at the crematory chapel, where we drove after the service at the house.
"Mrs. Dixon will continue to live at IfiS St. Johns Place. Brooklyn, and B.arhnra and George will make their home with her.
Another Platformist Gone
The death of former Vice^resident Ti.i'iim.s R. Ma»hall has taken from the American platMrm another notable fig¬ ure. Ho was another of those statesmen who could see the Importance of the Chau¬ tauqua and the lyceum in forming and correcting public opinion, and his every utterance was filled with that spirit of wise patriotism which realizes that every platform utterance should be filled with t-onservative wisdom rather than with that glorification of American Institutions intended nn-rely to tickle the national egotism of the casual listener.
Indiana has furnished to the American platform n notable list of orators, and Ihe State Is as famous for Its speakers as It Is for Its literary eminence. Hon. Thumas R. .Marshall was an Indianian both by birth .and temperament. His career as governor of the State was notable for the wise legisl.ttlon of that commonwealth looking toward the moral and physical welfare of Its people. His two terms as vice-president brought noth¬ ing of the spei facular. He was never a seek* r tif the limelight. Yet there have h-en few statesoun who occupied that IM.sitlon with more conservative, con¬ structive ability
The AitHorintrii Pecss, In Its announce¬ ment of his death, gave the following paragraphs In regard to his mental habits:
"Mr. Marshall was a good story teller and nothing delighted him more as vicepresident than to steal out of the senate chamber Into his private office, smoke a pljH! and entertain friends by reciting Instances of his experiences as a country lawver,
"Air. Marshall was an omniverous read¬ er, but as he once cxpresscil to a friend, 'not at all a thoughtful reader.* He had a penchant for detective or my.stery stories and frequently sat up all night to com¬ plete the reading of a tale.
"He also was a Bible stndcnt and often times, while serving ns vice-president, could be seen sitting In his office reading friiin the little vest-fsH-ket testament which he always carried. Of moderate financial circumstances he was always In¬ terested In educational, church and charitable work"
As fo his pl.itform work there are few of the platform jw'ople wly have not listened In his addresses with phcisure. He lectured for the Eoar ludijs'iident ChautauquHS for several seasons nnd i>n several of the circuits, as well as ui>on the lyceum courses. Every' pl.itformist mnv well be proud to have be< n a coworker with one who was at the .same time so eminent, so Interesting and so useful.
I had a little visit with Robert O. Bowman the other day. He called on me at the Lorraine, and, as he sat clialtiiig, he said; "You know I am not on the chautuuquas this summer. 1 ueglect'-d the matter until it was too late, due to some sickness in my home. I thought It would be a good thing fur me to take a vacation for one summer. But now, as the time is at hand when so many of the chautauquas are beginning to give their services to the various communities, I atn unea^^ and I know that 1 shall miss the fellowship, the inspiration and the lure of the great annual Chautauqua pilgrimage. If any opportunity should come to me at this Tate day..! know 1 wouid change my plans and go."
Several of the circuits have been at work for weeks. Others will op' n their tents in the near future. All over the land the people of every w;ide-awake, worth-while community are either look¬ ing forward to the feast which is to come or still talking about the good things they have had. Those of us who are in close touch with the business are wont to criticize this or that, and especially do We love to criticize those men or In¬ stitutions which seem to have the future of the American platform in their hands. It gives one such a comfortable feeling to broadca.st what we believe to be the mis¬ takes of -the other fellow. But I have noticed that whene ver a platformist be¬ comes a manager in a very few months at least he is following the same path that others are treading. No Chautauqua manager has ever vet given as good a
?rogram a.s he would like to give. But
believe that almost every manager is giving a£ good a program as he can possibly give under bis own circum¬ stances.
The Swarthmore Chautauquas have is¬ sued a great many little leaflets which they send everywhere, each one with some little message of cheer wliich will do some one some good or will strike an optimistic note in regard to the In¬ stitution of the Chautauqua. I esp»-cially liked one of these leaflets which I read recently, because It seemed to humanize the whole institution. It was a short utterance by Frederick William Wile, and 1 am reproducing it because I think you. too. will like It. It is as follows:
"If ever I wanted to launch a crusade for the right in this virile nation of ours, if I wanted to reach the heart and soul of .America on a great moral issue. If I wanted to stir the emotions of the people at the real fountainhead of na¬ tional inspiration I would steer wide of the cities with the teeming, tempestuous millions and make straight for `main street' in Chautauqua towns.
"Democracy In our country is essential¬ ly of the small town. I thought It a splendid thing as I strolled thru the shaded streets of Marlon that we are accustomed habitually to go to such com¬ munities for our Presidents. Only a few of them were N'rn and reared In the atmosphere of greiit cities. Warren G. Harding was not only brought up in a ch<iut:iii<iua town. He himself was of our splendid fraternity of Chautauqua devo¬ tees and held forth with distinction In the big brown tents. Chautauqua, we see, has at len.'th climbed to the stars. We h.ive reached the White House.'*
It seems to me that the most eloquent and convincing proof of the Inherent value of the Chautauqua'Institution is the facts that such men as Warren G. H.irding. President T.ift. Vice-President M.trshall and a host of others wore will¬ ing to give their time, their power and their Influence in fostexing a movement which brings an Influence so fine and so cultural to almost every community
In the land.
.\nd now as the hlg brown tops are going up like luushriKinis nil over the l.ind. as fiddles are tuning for the grand pilgrimage, as committees are working tn fill the loeal people with that enthusi¬ asm which Ls always necos.sar.v to in;>ke any community project a succe.s.s. every one of us has the urge to get out .and take a part in the great work. In 10.000 towns, where little homes ni-stlc .imong the flowers, whore the arching elms hi-ntl over "main streets", where village lo.ifers
sit around at night and criticize "the best little town oil earth--the home town", where young people who will have the Weight of the world on their sluuihiers are waiting for the Inspiration which will lead them into ways of tisefuln«ss. the chautaiiipia will go with its me.'-s.igc of j-heer and encouragement. It Is a wonderful responsihility for the program huildi-r and an equally great r' p-iisibility for the platformist to st) build e.u h lirograni and frame 'each tiltciaince fh.it evi-ry listener will go away from the tint with' higher idi.ils and a firmer defqrmlnafion to do his part In giving serv¬
ice to his family, hitt nome town and his home land.

Jo(l Eastman
Most every one knows Joel Eastman. The Danvtlle (ind.) Jiepubhean describes him as follows:
"AnioiiK speakers Joel Eastman Is unique. His speech is not a reflection of other men's thoughts and ideas, nor Is his manner of delivery an imitation of other sj>- akers' methfids. He is distinct¬ ly a thi.-iker who builds a balanced and symmetrical superstructure of truth upon a foundation tliat goes far below the sur¬ face to bedrock. He commands instant attention by Ids evidi nt strength of char¬ acter and mind. He possesses a droll sense of liumor which lightens the most serious discu.sslon. Audiences like the man for himself enjoy his way of speak¬ ing, his original phraseology and are thrilled with conviction and enthusiasm because of his earnestness and evident sincerity. He has spoken in every State in the Union. In Canada and New Zea¬ land, and always his hearers quickly dis¬ cern the ability of the man to get at the heart of the problem he is discussing and appreciate his accurate and convincing analysis. Mr. Eastman'.s subject will be Educating Jot Democracy."
Boy! Page Mr. Bryan I The morning paper states that Dr. J. C. Merriara, of the Carnegie Institute, Washington. D. t*.. is lecturing on Are the Daya of Evolu¬ tion Ended? He should be told that they are--in Tennessee. Dr. Merrl.im and I grew up In the same little Iowa town, and we were chums in the old days. Many a Saturday afternoon we hunted for fossils along the Maquoketa River. Today, having followed his boyhood pastifne he is one of the great scientist.-i of America, better known in his chosen field of paleontology than almoat any other authority. He is a shining exampi · of the Importance to the boy or girl of choosing that vocation In life from which they will get the greatest Joy and for which they are best fitted.
Community Chautauquas
We recently published programs of the Community Chautauquas, but the pro¬ gram of tne big st.x-day circuit was not included. We publish It herewith:
, First day: Children's hour; musical prelude by the Philippine tjuurtet and The Psychology of Laughter by Charles Alilton Newcomb. Second day: Chil-' dren's hour: musical and dramatic enter¬ tainment by the Community Players; Take the Sunny Side le.-ture-recital by Arthur Holden, and in Walked Jimmy, a comedy in four acts. i>re.scnted by the Community Placers. Tliird d;iy: Chil¬ dren's hour; concert and Yc Olde Tymcra, with the Imperial Ryncopators; .Vu.sicat Contrasta by the Imperial Syncopators, and Chorda and Discords, lecture by Henry Black Burns. Fourth day: Chil¬ dren's hour; the Lombard Entertainers; Educating for Democracy, lecture by Joel W. Eastman; entertainmefit prelude by the Lombard Entertainer;!, and Ameri¬ ca's Ilrritaae and Ita Keeping, bv Edwin P. Morrow, ex-governor of Kentucky. Fifth d:iy: Children's hour: musical pro¬ gram by the Ma< Murr.iy-Kai kley Qompany; Ren Hur, dramatic recital by Ar¬ thur Mil '.Murmy. and Ilia Honor, Abe Potash, comedy-drama, by the Mac.Murray-Kackley Company.

criticize the "art", we may carp at the "finance", and we may growl at the la< k of aiMireciation of our own offering. But the fact remains that^there Is no greater Inspiration for fine, clean living, for com¬ munity regeneration .ind national Ideal.s today than that offered by the chaut.niqua. Its value to any community cannot be calculated In dollars. The loss fo the community whlcli neglects its opportunity can not be figunil by arithmetic or calculus. Its growth along conscientioii lines will make of .Vnierica a better Ian I In which to live. Its decay would mean a civilization wliich Is beginning to seek the level of om-world countries that lack in ideals. In altruism and in service.
Perhaps some <Iiv some one will origi¬ nate something belter than the rhauiau<pi.i for all this, but the fact remains that up to this time nothing hitter has been offend, \utomobiles. radio. |>honogr.ipt s. movies--all fine tilings in their way -- haxc not taken the place of the Chautau¬ qua a.s creators of ideals or as builder.s of character. The Chautauqua Is an In¬ stitution as valuable as It Is unique and one which America can not afford to do without.

I have been reading some good things about Oney Fred Sweet and his lecture. Ill the Other Fellovfa Shoes. He is on the Ellison-White Circuit just now and a recent clipping from. The Daily Press, Brenham, Tex., said: "To newspaper people the most interesting feature of the entire Chautauqua was Oney Fred Sweet's lecture, Iti the Other Fellow's Shoes, and everybody in this office got unusually busy and speeded up operations Saturday so as to get the paper out early and be on hand to hear this clever and talented young newspaper man. In his wide ex¬ perience of holding down 100 other fel¬ lows' jobs Mr. Sweet found niuch that was humorous, much that was instruc¬ tive, much that was dramatic--and he told of his adventures in a manner th,at thrilled and entertained his audience. His philo.^ophy of life embraces the one great thought: 'Be a master at your job; if you are only a dog catcher strive to be the BEST dog catcher there is! Strive' to reach the highest point of efficiency; do your best in whatever job you are called upon to fill.' Your view¬ point of your job makes all the difference in the world, stressed the lecturer, who closed with the story of the three brlcklayeiE who were asked what they were doing. The first said `I am laying bricks,' the second 'I am making $5 a day,' the third 'I am building this cathedral.' Mr. Sweet has a message that is unique even In Chautauqua, which strives to appeal to people of every class and taste, and his talk was enthusiastically received.''

Nestos, former governor of North Dakota, on the Rrspoiisihilitics of Leadership, was a splend d presentation of the qualities necessary for leadership in any line of ende.avor. His address dealt very, largely with political conditions in the Northwest and reference to the activities of the Non-
parfl.'-Ttn League, which the sp*`aker .sSld was really a Socialist and Commtmlst movement camouflaged as the FarmerLabor party by Russian propagandists and he warned his hearers against allow¬ ing their vicious doctrines to gain a foot¬ hold in the South",
^elen Keller has, for years, been one
of the b<o't known and be.st loved iieople

ceived a well-merited tribute. The Bir-
minpham (Ala.) Age-Herald tells the

^
"Helen Keller has won again!
"Alabama, her home 5?tate, has paid
her the highest tribute which could ha\>*
been accorded an.v one of her native sons
or daughters. Helen Keller has been
universally acclaimed one of the State'.s
most distinguii'hed citizens.
"The announcement came as tlie grand
surprise of The Alabam.a Hall of Fame

Junior Chamber of Commeive. Mis.s
Kelle^, who_^ow is in Califnrflla, ex¬
pressed complete .surprise and joy when
notified of her election by the iKtard of
judges from New York.
"Wherever the name of Helen Keller
Is mentioned. Instantly there
called
to mind the glorious battle which she
has fought against seemlngl.v insur¬
mountable handicap.s. She has b.>en held
as the most outstanding example of liv¬
ing optimism thTH the countrv ever has
known.

of butter, a sack of flour and a dozen eggs. Perhap.s this i.s a far-fetched comparison, but actually a similar situa¬
tion is what motion picture theater owners of the United Statesare facing to¬ day, and the reason they have declared war on the ``big three" producing and distributing companies.
A motion picture producing company makes many pictures each year. Included in this number are a few that are really big attractions, some that are good entertainment but nothing unusual, still others that are designed solely for morons and nearmorons, and a considerable number that can only be designated 8.4 "awful".

de.«!ire is to provide the public with entertainment of the sort that it wants and will pay for.
The theater owTior realizes that the public will fill his house to see the really good attractions put out by the "big three". But can he go into the market and purchase them? He cannot. The producing companies make a counter proposition. To the theater owner they say in effect: "You sign a contract to purchase our entire li.st of say 50 pictures, and we will sell

If he does sigm fne of these contracts and shows the 30 or 40 pictures ranging from mediocre to terrible which he must take to get the good ones, he is criticized for playing "cheap stuff."

WK doff our chapeau to Frank J. Taylor. Not because he has become
the owner of a circu.'j--three rinits, count 'em--but b«'eause his ac¬
quisition of that circus is symbolical of a trait of character that
should be a blcsHng to Mr. Taylor and the envy of mo.ut of the rest of us.
It represents, as a matter of fact, a combination of attributes.
For one thing, it repre.sents the abillt.v to hew to the line thru long
years of struggle and waitiiig. Frank J. Taylor decided years ago that
Mime day he would own a circus. Circumstances forced him into other
channel.*. He flourifhed in business, became in time head of a great grain
exchange, and was known as a successful grain man to his associates.
But deep in his heart ne.stled that resolve.
Frank Taylor's circus illustrates, too, a man's ability to keep young,
in so far as the retention of youthful ambitions and desires is concerned.
It was as a young man that he formed his resolve. Now, when the gray
Is beginning to show ab<>ul his temples and the lines mark his face, he
executes that resolve with the same high-hearted buoyancy that was his
when he made it. The years have creased his face somewhat, but they
have left Taylor's heart untouched.
One must admire a man who can hold to the purpose like that. It
wouldn't make any difference whether his determination had been to own
a top hat or a chicken farm or a fur coat. The principle involved ia the
thing that is sublime.
The spring Is here. Out from the winter quarters the gaudy wagons
and prancing, besi>angled horses begin to move; the old calliope, freshly
painted. Is given a full head of steam and joins the glad parade. The
circus takes tn the road. And standing there in the sawdust ring, smiling
his genial smile. uncon.«clously beating time to the music of the band, i.s
the man who knew how to make a dream come true--under the Big Top
at last!

O me," said Havrah Hubbard, a member of the Board of Directors
I
of the American Operatic and Allied Arts' Foundation, to Wlnthrvip
* P. Tryon in an interview published In The Christian Science
Monitor of May 23, "opera Is drama, and so I have come to the <»ncluslon
it Is to every American. To an Italian or a Frenchman, and even to a
Russian, the appeal lies chiefly in tonal beauty, while to a tJerman it
rests largely in heroic and sentimental emotion. Give a person of L-itin
temperament a good phraf>e or a fine high note and dramatic truth doe.*
not much matter. But you must put a certain Intellectual quality into the
thing or the American does not like it. He demands a reason for all
you do.
·
"Now the out-and-out opponents of o^'ra condemn it as absurd, and
of course they are right. But that does not mean that we ought to lay
stress on the absurdities. Granted that opera Is a form of art, and there¬
fore in a manner (Xinventlonal, we must nevertheless make It as Pt'emingly
logical as we can, ^nd the only way, if I have the correct solution of the
problem, is thru the drama.
"To illustrate my point with a familiar instance or two, take first the
climax of the triumphant scene In the second act of Aida. How often I
have seen the triumphant Radames take the wreath presented to him by
the princess, and, instead of putting It on, as all laws of ceremony would
refjuire, merely throw it down and step to the footlights and begin to sintt! Take for another example the scene in Madame Butterfly, in which the
two Japanese women decorate the house for Pinkerton's return. I can't
tell you how many times I have seen cherry blos.soms and chryi-xinthemums
mixed pell mell, with no thought of the contradiction of seasons. Not
only do they Jumble spring and fall together In violation of <?ommon sense,
- but they even disregard the implications of the libretto, for the women
one moment speak of the garden as robbed of its flower? and at a later
moment open the door and show it blooming as gayly as ever.
"In my opinion we should have a person direct opera production who
Smakes clear to everybody in the cast precisely what the meaning of the iece is. They do that way in'the theater; they ought-to in the op<>r.>.
ouse. As we have been going, each performer learns his own part in hi.-'
own way, or at best according to some tradition, and fits hlm.«elf in with
the other performers as best he can. The chorus, ordinarily, knows nothing
of what the principals are doing. . . .
"The important thing for us Is to us« the ability of the young Ameri¬
can singer. Give him a picture of which he can be a part. YVe waste our
resources because we, do not let our artists know what they are to do. M'e are held down by » tradition that is Vished' on us. I would like to
see it discarded. What Is a tradition anyway but a daring thing that
somebody did and that others have copied? If somebody once used Initiative,
why cannot a person do it now?"
Mr. Hubbard discussed the possibilities of Improvement In opera
decoration, noting tha- paint and canvas have about become exhausted, and
indicating that a period of scenic Illusion thru light is at hand. He ex-
pres.sed the view that opera will be composed in a more distinctly dramatic
vein as time passes, with the ordinary dialog rather spoken than sung, and
with the orchestral accompaniment reduced in sonority and Instrumental
elaboration. . . .

ING YOUR MAIL PROPERLY
A> I-KTTKR, postcard, parcel or new.spaper entering the mails l.« simi>Iy a piece of mail. If, because of inadequate or Incorrect address, and. In the case nf the package--improper wrapping--a piece of mail must be taken out of ihe regular postal machinery for ''directory service" or "honpital service", It becomes a ''NIXIE".
If the postal sleuths are able to correct the address or return to sender for a better one, it again becomes a piece of mail--tho "delayed mail" is the better sobriquet.
If, after an exhaustive effort, the postal "detective" must give up the puzale, and there is no return address, the piece of mail is consigned to the EWd Letter Office, where it again changes its name to dead letter or dead parcel, me the case may be.
Its period of existence as a "nixie" is the most expensive one. It demands special attention from the very best clerks. Valuable time is spent in its behalf, time which also may prove more costly to the mailer or intg-nded recipient thru the attendant delay.
Rut In (he long run the postal service loses most. In Chicago 400 workers do nothing but handle "nixies". In New Y'ork the service cost.s $500 dally. In all the "nixie" costs the Government about $1,740,000

HOLLAND'S GREATEST ACTOR
Europe may be a long way from Minneapolis, but there should be m^ore than passing interest in the death of Louis FYederlk Johannes ^uwmeester, Holland's greatest actor, considered the finest Shylock and King Lear of his day. Bouwmeester died recently In his 82d year. He was born on September 5, 1842, and won fame more than 45 years by his performance of the Jew in The Merchant of Venice. He made many visits to England and Germany, playing Shylock In Dutch while Holland acclaimed him her favorite actor. He entered the theatrical profes.sion. of which his father, L. T. Rozenveldt, was a member, against his own wish, his desire as a boy being to become a sailor. His early experiences were in a Salon des Varietes, and he was a popular artist for nearly 20 years before he turned to serious roles. For a short time he was associated with

yie most part he played with his own company or as a star artist In
Shakespearean and classic roles. He was famous for his Shylock. his
Corlolanus, Romeo, Richard III, Lear, Hamlet and Autolysus, while he
also appeared in many MoHere plays and as Don Caesar de Bazan
Only three years ago , Bouwmeerter, almost 80 years old. was touring
Holland as King Lear. The year before he had vl.iited Stratford-on-Avon
