FAVERSHAM'S PROBLEM PLAY ASUCCESS.

Letty Scores A Hit At The Hudson Theatre,New York City.

Letty, Arthur Wing Pittero'8 latest problemplay and undoubtedly the most fitting pieceof curative dramatic literature yet presentedto a moral public, had a most successful open-ing. September 12, at the. Hudson Theatre,New York City, William Faversham and astrong supporting company entered euthusliiHt-ically into a delineation of the characters •andwere approvingly received by a large amicritical audience.

The i>lay deals with the relations of awealthy young tipster and a poor bucket-shopgirl. The reward of virtue is brought outvery distinctively and the play is regardedas the most comfortable handling of the greatmoral problem. It is distinctively a piece ofPinero workmanship, and though it can not beregarded as the masterpiece of the great play-wright in a dramatic sense, it has the ad-vantage over his other productions from the!K>irit of view of the public, of represent ing,if not the triumph of virtue, at least its re-ward.

The piece is cast as follows: Nevill Let-chmer-e, William Paversham; Ivor Cfosbie, IvoDawson; Coppinger Drake, Frank Goldsmith;Bernard Mandevllle. Arthur Play fair; Rich-ard Perry, Fritz Wdlllams; Neate, a commer- .eial traveler. Tom Terriss; Ordish, insuranceagent. Sidney Herbert: Rug'g. Mr. Letchmere'sservant, Wallace Widdeeombe; iFrederic. amaitre d'hotel, Henri de Barry; Waiters, Al-bert Cowles, John C. Tremayne; Mrs. IvorCrosble, Katherine Florence: Letty Shell. Car-lotta Nillson; 'Marion Allardyce. Olive Oliver;Hilda Gunning, an assistant at Mine. Wat-kin's, Julie Opp; A Lady's Maid, MargeryTaylor.

Mr. Favorshain scored a personal triumph,though in fact the play affords him hut oneopportunity for really strong work. Of thirfsingle opjwrtunity, however, lie avails h im-self wonderfully. Carlotta Nillson. who poi-trays tlie role of Letty Shell, handles horpart well. She is afforded greater opportuni-ties than is Mr. Faversham, and she makesthe best of them. The minor parts are !"11well cast, the work of Arthur Playfaii- stand-ing out prominently as a clever- piece of char-acter work.

WARREN A. PATRICK.

BOSTON WILL HAVE ENDOWEDTHEATRE.

Boston theatre-goers were surprised lastweek to learn that they would have an en-dowed theatre in their midst- The CastleSquare Theatre has been transferred from thepresent management to a syndicate led byMessrs. Lorain F. Ueland and Winthrop Ames.That a transfer of tlie theatre was contemplat-ed was kept the closest secret. The historyof, the transfer may not prove uninterestingto the profession.

Some time ago a circular letter was startedabout literary Boston signed by Henry L.Iligginson, the benefactor of the Boston Sym-phony Orchestra; Lorain F. Deland, a novel-ist; Winthrop Ames, the youngest member ofthe Ames family, and one or two others. Theywished to get co-operation for the building andestablishment of an endowed theatre. Timesin Boston were a bit stringent and money didnot come in as anticipated, and the projectwas allowed to rest for a time.

This project has now been revived by thetaking of the Castle S'Quare Theatre by a sya-dicate, led by Messrs. Deland and Ames. Theyare very anxious not to appear in it at pres-ent, but the fact remains that since last weekthey, and not Rollin H. Allen, have been Incontrol of the destiny of the house. J. H.Emery, who has been ma nager for years, hasalready resigned to go with Wright Lorimer,and Frederick P. 'Bacon is to succeed; him.

The stock company headed fov Howell Han-sell and Lillian Kemble, will be retained, butit is anticipated that there will fre moreproductions of :new plays than this house hasbeen accustomed to make. Prices arc alreadyslifflrtly advanced.

The new managers will watch things veryclosely, for they confess that they .are notexpert managers, and, it is not anticipatedthat they will make any radical moves be-foiv the beginning of the new year. However,it is expected that every playwright in Bostonwill swoop down upon the Castle Square as soonas lie hears that this step in the direction ofan endowed theatre has been taken.

SOTHERN-MARLOWE TOUR BEGINS.

The joint tour of Mr. E. H. Kothern andJulia .Marlowe opened at the Illinois Theatre,f'hioago. 111-. September 10. From all reportsthe joint stars and their supporting companyare deserving of commendation and heartypraise. Romeo and1 Juliet was presented ina worthy, painstaking, dignified and artisticmanner that carried with it the convictionthat the PC tors were endeavoring to portrayin a vivid manner tho characters intended bythe master bard of the Avon. Both Mr. Soth-ern and Miss Marlowe won distinctively per-sonal applause and their admirers were highlypleased over the results of the proverbiallyterrible first night.

LONDON GOSSIP.A Few Observations on the Lon-

don Stage.

(From our special correspondent.)Merely Mary Ann is the name of Mr. Xang-

will's now play, which opened the season at1he Duke of York's Theatre, Sept. 8. The com-edy made a hit on the opening night, andMiss Eleanor Kobson. the American actress,on Ijer first English appearance, was accordeda triumphant reception. The London dailies•give the performance long notices, and proph-esy a record run.

Mary Ann is a "maid-of-all-work" in a Lon-don" "Pension." She comes from the country,and in her nature 3s found those elementswhich constitute, the making of a treasure Inher calling—'always good-natured, polite and notover-curious. Among the lodgers in the homeis a young composer named Lancelot, who im-agines he can sunnly the needs of the worldin classical music, but the frivolous publicdo not appear to understand their own re-quirements, and refuse to be captured byLancelot's productions, which, comnared withWagner, would consign the works of the latterto a seat very much in the rear.

Lancelot Ttas long hair, and though penniless,is the son of a 'baronet. Mary Ann falls inlove with him, but just how « servant comesto presume to love a genius is loft unexplainedby tho author. B'ut then Cupid is a conjurer,find guards the secrets of his tricks quite ascleverly as Keller or Herman. While Lancelotis personally of an overbearing disposition, liepatronisin#ly returns Mary Ann's- attentions,and condescends to allow her to hang herpot .canary In his chamber window. He In-sists that she shall wash her face and weara clean dress and gloves when she waits onhim, and Mary Ann loves him all the moro,but "there is no accounting f •- a woman'staste." He soon finds himself very fond ofher.

While Lancelot is wasting his time writingmusic which no one will publish, an old stu-dent chum of his has made a fortune with apopular ballad Kiss Me -Good-Night, so Lance-lot decides to do the same, because "he needsth-p money.'' His first venture secures him£50, with which he proposes to take MnryAnn away into the country. At this pointlioweveir, the Invariable fortune turps n'pthrough the death of someone—presumably anAmerican "silver-knight.'' and IMary Ann bo-comes rich. The upshot of the whole affair isthat they separate for six years, after whichtime (Mary Ann becomes "Marian," and Lance-lot famous, the play concluding with the usualtragic ending, marriage.

Besides Miss Eobson, there are in the cast,Mr. Henry Aiiiley, who plays the part ofLancelot, having just returned from America,Mr. Gerald du Maurier. Miss Ada Dwyer—an-other American actress—Miss Mable Gardenand -Mr. Cranley Douglas.

A most remarkable thing happened on theopening night—not one "boo" was heard f ro nthe gallery.

The passing of another of England's old-est actors was enacted through the death ofMr. John Billing ton, Sept. 9. who was a fav-orite actor of Queen Victoria. Mr. B Islingtonwas 76 years of age, and is tho last link ofMacready and other famous players of theparly Victorian days.

On Sopt. 7. a marriage took place on thestage of the Kmpire Theatre, Oldham, betweenMr. Pan Washington and (Miss Marie Ander-son, members of the colored In Dahomey com-pany, and the English audience were trottedto a genuine "down South" wedding.

Mr. Washington met Miss Anderson on lio'irda trans-Atlantic steamer, and a mutual i n f a t -uation was the result. It so happened that.Tames Boswell, a colored' Baptist minister fromthe United States, was in England, }n connec-tion with the Salvation Army Congress, and hewas duly installed to "tip tho knot."

EDMUND HAYES.

He is now making for himself a name as co-median in the successful farce, A Wise Guy.iMr. Hayes has been connected with John Mc-Collough, Joseph Ha worth, Margaret Mather andRobt. Downing. A Wisp Guy has proven allthat its author intended for it and Is a greatdrawing power.

After the curtain was lowered on the lastscene of In Dahomey, it was suddenly raisedagain displaying a parlor scene, with the mem-bers of the company seated around a longtable. The orchestra played Mendelssohn'sWedding March, and the bridesmaids In Canaryand pink crepe de chene, with ushers Inevening dress and white -gloves, appeared fromthe wings. The minister came afterwards,and following, the bride took her place nearthe foot-lights, and the- solemn service, unit-ing "Two hearts that beat in unison," wasperformed. The bride's gown—a present fromMr. Norman, the manager—was of a violethue, and In her hand she carried a bunch oflilies. I

Cyril Maude was born under a lucky star.While plays come and go-—many at the end ofthe established fortnight/—he seldom imeotswith a failure, in fact, out of the sixteen playsproduced in the last ten years, only one proveda "frost," Mr. Harrison, his partner, deniesthat it Is duo to luck, but attributes their hap-

dreds were turned away. All critics prophesya long run and London critics are not (given to"lush."

The Duke of Killicrankle, which has alreadyenjoyed a highly prosperous run at the Cri-terion—has been removed to Wyndham' s,where it appears to have made a fresh start,and "full house" sign Is displayed every, night.A better selection than Miss Hlington forthe part of the irrepressible widow of "glue"fame could not possibly have been made, andWeedon Grossmith, as the lover of her "stickyriches," is as droll as possible. Graham Brownis a fervent ' 'Duke," and Miss Eva Moore amost bewitching "captured bird."

The end of the run of The Duke of Killl-crankie _is 'Still imperceptible by the mostpessimistic theaterites.

py condition to hard work, and keen judgmentin the selection of plays. He declares thatin the last six months he has read no lessthan three hundred selections of pieces, andMr. Maude many others, and out of the wholelot there were only about twelve that wereplayable. In choosing their play. each, readsthe ones selected by the other, and when theiropinions agree, they decide to produce thatparticular one. Frankly, I do not agree withIMr. Harrison that all depends upon the piece.T could see nothing in their recent successJoseph Entangled, but Cyril Maude can "makea horse laugh" without even speaking a line.Take 'him out of it, and It is like subtractingtwo from two—nothing remains. He is Inter-esting and funny at all times, and patheticif need be. as in The Secon-d In Command.

Since the Harrison and Ma'uide combinationhave had the tenancy of the Hay market, thefollowing -pliays have been produced there:Under the Red Kobe, A Marriage of Conven-ienence, The Little Minister, The Maneuversof Jane1, >She S'toons to Conquer, School forScandal, The Rivals, Lady Flirt, There's Manya Slip, Joseph Entangled, The Second In Com-mand. Frocks and Frills. The Unforseen, TheBlack Tulip and Cousin Kate.

The present piece, wihlch Is being played atthe New Theatre, on account of the re-modeling of the Haymarket, is entitled Beautyand the Barge, and Is. if anything, the "bestever." IMr. Maude takes the r>art of CaptainBarley, the frivolous1 master of the barge. Theentire play is filled with Irepressibry funny sit-uations. The second night of production bun.-

He accordingly had' a part of Anglesey Castlemade over Into a theatre, and nut ou plays inwhich he invariably took the leading role, forthe "amusement" of his friends and his ownentertainment. The young nobleman's careercame to an abrupt end recently, he, with hisvast estate, passing into bankruptcy, and forsome weeks the sale of his effects has beengoing on at the Castle. Some idea of his ex-travagance can be drawn from, the followinglist of the contents of his wardrobe: 227 suits,100 overcoats, 73 smoking suits. 453 ties, 142pairs boots and slippers. 29 bathing gowns,362 fancy waistcoat^ 61 lounge suits, 8 kilts,150 pairs of pajamas, 278 pairs of 'gloves and82 dressing gowns.

Eight ladies' bathing suits have also beenincluded in the catalogue, besides a sable over-coat, with twenty 'tails and ten head fronts,for which the M"arquis is reported to have paid£1,000. The sale of other properties, includ-ing several hundred walking sticks, raaniyrich in jewels, is now going on. The Marquishas been reduced to an annual income of£2,000. He is reported to have declared thathe should enter a convent on the Continent;Perhaps a visit to a "sense restoring factory"would be more appropriate.

NEW YORK.NEW YORK.—The welcome drop in the mer-

cury last week found four houses dark. At theother theatres business took on a more livelyform.

H. Crane openedhis New York season in Business is Business.In this niece, which is a translation from theFrench, Mr. Crane's versatility is shown byhis admirable work in the characterization en-tirely different from any he has previously portrayod. Good business has continued: from1 theopening night. The engagement is for an in-definite period. Mr. Wix of Wiekham alsohad its New York opening Monday night whereit was put on as a musical comedy of the con-ventional kind, affording opportunities for sev-eral more or less popular comedians, and ex-hibiting a pretty and well-drilled chorus tothe accompaniment of English music betweenthe sensation of a plot that is a little morethan nominal. Business very fair. Also onMonday evening Candida was revived at theBerkeley Museum (erstwhile the vaudevilleand Mrs. Osborne's Playhouse) with ArnoldDaly In the principal part. The piece hasbeen extensively altered since Its tolerablesuccessful run in New York last season.George Ade's comedy. The College Widow. en-Joyed one of the ipo»t brilliantly

The Cornet of theDutchess, Clyde Fitch'® newest play openedat the Garnick Wednesday evening, Sept. 21,and while the author has not produced in Ita work that will add greatly to his fame, stillthe situations are in several instances exceed-ingly clever and the dialogue brilliant,

BOYS OF THE SAWDUSTARENA.

By Chas. Andress.I am often asked "What effect does cir-

cus life have on the minds of youthful aspir-ants to fame in the sawdust arena?"

It Is a somewhat delicate question to handleas the majority of wople think that a circus isno fit place for a boy to be in, and that theboy should 'be at school or at home away fromevil associations.

To be sure the circus is anything else but> Sunday School to a boy, but the evil asso-ciations and opportunities for wrong doing athome are oftentimes greater than with a cir-cus.

Circus life, to a youth, is a rapid advance-ment to manhood. Some of our greatest menare those who have had but little schooling,and have been, by necessity, compelled toleave home at early ages, and make their waysthrough life with tiut little, or no education.Slowly advancing to fame and fortune andpointed out, to the world as self-made men.

While on the contrary some of our greatestcogues are those who have b«en reared in She

passing through the dressing room connection,recently with his camera, and discovered theboys practicing a pyramid posture. He wasrequested to take a "snap shot," and promisedto do so, some future day, when the boys coul<jhold the position long enough to be photo-graphed. Several days after he was called into fulfill the promise, with the result as shownbelow.

The "topmounter" is Ernest Sutclifte theyouthful member of the Sutcliffe Family ofacrobats. The other three are members of theFlorenz troupe.

artns of luxury and have received a thoroughcollefilate education. Many of our prominentand most successful theatrical managers weretaken from their homes, at early ages, and"Joined out" to some traveling showman,where after serving their apprenticeship. theywere turned loose upon the world better fittedto fight the battle of life than aay ordinaryyouth who has seen nothing of the world, andIts animals, (human and other kind). TonyPastor points back, with pride, to his earlydays, when he "turned flip flops" and "crackedJokes" in the circus ring. (Tony never statedthat he sold red lemonade). B, F. Keith, F.F. Proctor and many other successful managerscould tell many interesting tales of their earlylives with the white tents.

The circus in their days was not the greatmoral and educating institution that we haveat present, but the boy received his trainingJust the same.

Many of the boys with the Barnum and Bai-ley Circus have seen half the world, can con-verse in several different languages and havemore Intelligence than an average man of fortyyears. They are really old heads on youn?shoulders. Polite and courteous, always, andneat^ tidy and well behaved.

Business with tlic> shows and thoatrlcal at-t ract ions on tour dur ing the past week has beenu n i f o r m l y good. There are n few spots hereand there from which bad reports are received.hu l on the whole a decided Improvement hasI K T I L noticeable. Just how far this Is due toHIP cooler weather we are not prepared to say.We are Inclined to believe that it Is largely ow-ing to improved industrial eonditions.

* * *'The same period has been a most engrossing

one theatrically In Chicago. The first appearmice of Julia Marlowe and E. H. Sothern asco-stars, In Romeo and Juliet: Henry Miller'gpresentation of Joseph Entangled for the firstt ime in Chicago; the return of the Royal Chef,which was given a triumphant reception afterbeing "sent back" from New York, and theopening of the Iroquols under Its new name,Hyde and iB'ehma-n's Vaudeville have kept criticsand play-goers quite busy. Shakespeare at threodollars a eeat Is a bit strong for Chicago folk?and there have been some vacant seats at theIllinois. There are always a lot of curiosityseekers who will even turn to the morbid andthe crowds who flock to the vaudeville wereapparently largely made up of this class, whodo not care much about the performance, butwish to figure out for themselves .lust how theawful disaster really happened and to be ableto say, "We have been to the Iroquola.'* The-atr ical business In the Windy City is mostgratifying.

Leslie's Monthly Is the latest of the cheapmagazines to go trust baiting. McClure's start-ed It and struck a good one. Everybody'sfollowed and made a ten strike. Leslie's willtry and Imitate the other two. In. our estima-tion, however, It Is on a dead one. Aside fromthe fact that the tgame In general Is Just ahit old, the general public does not care arap about the men and methods of the so-calledTheatrical Syndicate, and It will be mighty hardindeed to stir up interest iu the professionwhere the subject has been worn to a frazzle.Leslie's slogan will be "Art for the Art's Sake."This cry Is now quite 'generally understood bytheatrical folk to mean "Art for the outs*Sake."

COMPANY WILL EFFECT CHANGE INMANY SOUTHERN THEATRES.

The Lea th Amusement Companv was recent-ly formed at Richmond, Va., with Mr. ThomasG. Lea tli as president and Mr. Jake Wells asgeneral manager. This deal is a most Import-ant one as !t is significant of the fact that Mr.Leal'h will retire from aetlve business andMr. Jake Wells will step into his place. MrLratli -is sixty-two years of age and has beeuactively engaged In theatricals for many years.Under the new arrangement, Mr. Leath isassured a comfortable Income for the next tenyeans, besides the dividends which, will accrueto him from the stock he holds in the com-pany.

The company is composed and officered 89follows; T. G. Leath, ptei,; [Morton Rosen-

brum, vice-president; Chas. I. McKee, «ecy.and treas.; Jake Wells, gen. mgr., with Messrs.Greener, Neale and Allen Collins as the re-maining members of the directorate.

Mr. Wells Is well known In theatrical affairs. He has always exhibited a fine Judg-ment and remarkable business1 ability. Hisnew duties as general manager are well merit-ed reward for past services.

The theatres which will be controlled by theLeath Amusement Company are located In thefollowing cities: Richmond, Norfolk, NewportNews. Charlotte. N. C.: Boanoke, Petersburgand Lynchburg, in which latter city a play-house is now being constructed.

Mr. Honrv TSrhm^n. of the firm of Hyde and"ehman of New York, and .Toe Page Smith,t-hrir New York booking agent were In CM-"airo last week looking over their new MusicTTa1! f formorlv the IronuMs). and returned<o New York Saturdav night, Sept. 24. Whilehere Mr. ftehman declared to some of hisChicago friends that, if business at the MusicT Tf l l l continues to be as great as It is now.TTrd" and TCohman will build another theatrein this city.

Tt. F. Keith and his able lieutenants. Messrs.Mbee and TTndgdon -were here last week.Their movements were shrouded in mystery

t It Is r'T^ored t'*at they have the erectionnf a new theatre in Chicago under contempla-tion, and while it has been impossible for us tolearn any th ing definite regarding: the matter,•the fact tha t ti'ose gentlemen visited Chicagotogether, would seem of much importance.

It Is reported that Dr. Flood, who has officesIn the Schiller Building, and n multi-million-aire coal mine owner, are negotiating for thepurchase of the old Onheum Theatre properly,which adioins the CHcazo Opera House onWashington Street, dlrectlv opposite the cityhall. If tlieir plans carry ariffht and theysecure the property, they will tear down theold O'"phrum bui ld in j r and erect a new vaude-vi'.ie house. The work upon it will commencein the spring.

I have it from excellent authoritv that Mat.ager W. S. Cleveland and two of his ald^r-manio friends are. at present, negotiating forthe purchase of the Old Lincoln Theatre siteon the West Ride. The Lincoln Is either to he'onvevted into a vaudevi l le house, 'or the build-ing is to he torn down and a new theatreerected. This is an interesting piece of news,and decidedly important one. if true, to certainChicago managers who already have vaudevilleInterests on the West Side. The HaymarketIs the only vaudeville house west of the riverat the present time, and as1 there is room foranother theatre, of this character^ Mr. Cleve-land's protect would seem a substantial oneand fraught with alluring prospects.

Dan McAvoy. manager of Malonev's Wed-ding, was in town Saturday and reported greatbusiness for his company. A glance at the boxoffice statements fully confirmed his assertions.

Work is now being pushed on a new theatreat the corner of 89th and Cottage Orove Aye.,a-nd the house when opened will be devotedto either vaudeville or combination attractions.A Mr. Hammond is interested in the theatre.

Two representatives from the Hale FireFighters' exhibition now on the Piko nt theWorld's Fair, were in the city Thursday. Sept,2fi. looking over the Coliseum. It is reportedSupt. Hall, of the Coliseum declares there isno doubt but that the Hale Fire Fighters' exhi-bition can be given !n the building under thenew ordinance. The (gentlemen from St. LouisIso examined the building In the Interest of

Boer War production, which from all reportsis one of the strongest attractions on the PikeRumor has it the roller skating season atthe Coliseum, will not open until away alongtowards the middle of the winter, and fromthis' we are led to believe the recent reportthat several of the large Pike productions willappear in the Coliseum after The close of theFair. Tn connection with the Hale Fire Fight-ers and the Boer War. Tlilosse TCilralfv's spec-tacle. Louisiana, and Creation are also men-tioned for a Chicago presentation.

Word reaches us from New York that .ToeTTar'ier under skil lful treatment, is recoveringfrom his late at tack of blood-poisoning andwill be ahle to resume his duties, nnd expectsto re-loin the Barntim Show TU Chicago.

WARREN PATRICK.

WEBER. CLAIMS CHICAGO CHARGESTOO MUCH FOR. FIREMEN.

Max Weber, of the Columbia Theatre in Chi-cago, 111., Is complaining that theatre man-agers of the Windy City are required to payan inequitable share of the wages of firemendetailed1 to remain at the theatres during theperformances. He declares a fireman worksonly thirty hours for a theatre, while he givesthe city -114 hours weekly, yet the theatre isasked to pay two-thirds of his salary.

General Fir_ -Inspector Burroughs, comput-ing the hours a fireman g*ves to the theatreand what toe gives to the cltv. claims thatfifty-four and one-half hours a week are devo-ted to the theatre, while the city gets onlythirty-two hours.

"The fireman must «iu{ to four hours ateach performance," Chief iBrarrough i said. "Hemust give six hours twice a week, besides,to the fire drill of employes, and then thereare matinees to be counted. In charging thetheatres a two-thirds r-te the city Is doingnothing unjust."

THEATRES IN TOKIO.Most of 'the theatres In Tokio a*e owned by

the teahouses in the neighborhood. The Fu-kanzo Theatre (rebuilt In 1872), has seven-teen owners, so even In the East the practicaluse of a syndicate is understood. 'Naturallythese teahouses have an Interest in supportingthe theatre from the fact that a play contin-ues all day—for many days or even weeks—andvisitors naturally require refreshments, char-coal braziers for pipes and warmth, tea. wine,beer, confectionery, rice and fish. IchikawaSadan.1l is one of Danluro's favorite pupils.His custiimes call for envy by the foreigner,who finds in him a most genial and courteoushost and is made quite at home in hisdressing-room—nothing like a dressing-room in an English theatre. The rolesTchikawa Sadan.1l plays are on the lines ofBeerbohm Tree, so he is called bv the foreign-ers wno often attend hip performances theBeerbohm Tree e" Japan.

A CONTROVERSY.The following communication was received

from Mr. A. J, Busby, manager of the Busby'Billposting 'Company, of iMarshalltown, la..

Marshalltown, la., Sept. 16, '04.Editor "The Billboard,"

Plncinnatl, O.Dear Sir:—A recent issue of "The Billboard"

contained an article In regard to the contro-versy between the Great Wallace Shows andthe Busby Billposting Company, of Marshall-town, la. From this article it would appearas if we deliberately broke the Circus Agree-ment. This we did not do and had all of ourletters been printed, instead of only one, thiswould have been clearly shown. The history ofthe case Is as follows:

Mr. Lynch came to Marshalltown to contractfor the Wallace Shows. We offered to posttheir paper at the regular association rate ofeight cents and thirty tickets for three weeks'showing. Mr. Lynch, however, insisted uponselecting only the choice down-town locations,and we Informed him that these locations wouldcost him two cents a sheet extra, with fourteenextra tickets. He agreed to this and signeda contract accordingly. 'Mr. Franklin thencomplained to the association that we hadviolated the Circus Agreement, and that wehad no right to charge a 'higher rate for pre-ferred locations. Wo then wrote 'Mr. Bernard,secretary of the association and Mr. Franklinof the Wallace Shows, tha t we would post thepaper In the regular way. same as for anyadvertiser at regular rates. )>nt still insistedthat they must p'*y more for selected locations,as the following letter will show:

Marshalltown, la., May 12, '04.Mr. Chas. Bernard.

•Chicago. 111.Dear S'ir:—Your favor of the 9th Inst., in

regard to the prices we charged the WallaceShow, is at hand. We always aim to live upto all of the rulings of the association, andwe have not violated any of them in thiscase.

If the Wallace Shows want the same rateas commercial work they must take the loca-tions that we select. We will not allow themto select all of the very host down-town loca-tions and then charge them onlv commercialrates. If they want these they must pay extrafor them in both money an,d tickets. We willnot allow our "best advertisers like Armour andCompany. Swift and Company. N. K. Fair-banks, American Tobacco Company, and other:-to select only our best locations and we cer-tainly will not allow a circus to do so unlessthey pay extra for them.

We offered to post their paper at commercialrates, but their agent wanted the location^he had selected, and only those locations,and offered to pay us nine cents per sheet fo:them, but finally our price ten cents per sheetfor the locations he had selected, was accepted.

On account of the contract with the WallaceShows we are compelled to hold over severaljobs of commercial work, as we will not postonr regular customer's na'per on the outskirtsor on the boards that Wallace passed up.

We know that if a circus came to Chicago.and Insisted on having only the boards orState, Madison or Clark Streets, they wouldhave to pay a very big price for them.

We wish' to treat the circuses fri'1. 'but the:can not expect more than other advertisers.

Yours very truly.Bnsby Billposting Company.

This controversy has been carried on with allgood feeling. The only question to be decid-ed is whether a circus has the right to selectlocations in any city, without paying extra forthis privilege. This question will come be-fore the Board of Directors at theli- nextmeeting. Yours very truly.

BILLBOARD CASE GOES AGAINST CITY.The much-mooted, warmly contested1 and in-

teresting case of the Commonwealth of Mas-sachusetts against the Sprague-Nugent Com-pany was decided in favor of the defendantcompany at Springfield. The case might besaid to be different from any precedent one.because of the difference between the laws ofstate of Massachusetts and other states inwhich the question of the Illegality of the bill-hoards is brought up for judlcal investigation.However, it will be noticed that however dif-ferent may be the ordinance or legislativeact, the courts invariably refuse to lend theiraid' to the elimination of the billboards sim-ply because their 'erection, maintenance andthe posting of paper thereon is lawful, moral,perfectly just, is not Injurious to the publicand has as much right to he in existence as hasany building in which business is transacted.

The billboard is a commercial necessity andit would not be amis to classify it as a busi-ness establishment. The decision of the Mas-sachusetts judge Is sane, sound and constitu-tional.

The municipal ownership of gas plants iscommon and that of telephone service, garbagecrematories and even street car systems is fre-quently canvassed, but it remains for a Michi-gan man to spring a new one1—municipal own-ershin of billboards. It is a "ood: thing andought to be pushed along. Think how nice itwould be for 'the billposter. When he got tiredof flighting all the cranks in town he could sellout to the city and—live happy ever after.

The Aldermen of St. Paul. 'Minn., vote sen-sibly when they voted to make an unfavorablereport on the anti-billboard ordinance recentlysubmitted to the city government. In speak-ing against the ordinance Alderman Corningsaid: "There has been much discussion ofthe subject, but it has largely been from anasthetic standpoint. It seems to me that itwould be necessary to clean up the old! tincans and otherwise improve the vacant lotsbefore the beauty of the city could be increasedby the removal of the billboards."

Notes from the Eippel Show: "We are onour sixth and last month, and we have no com-plaint to make as to business. We have ima.deonly three changes since we started out.

The Barnnm and 'Bailey hilling In Chicago,commenced Monday, Sept. 19. thus giving thecircus a three weeks' showing. Tody Hamiltonand Willard Coxey have the newspaper situa-tion well in hand, and although it is a matterof record1 among circus agents that, so far asreading notices are concerned, Chicago news-papers are a touch proposition. The Barnumshowing in the news columns will undoubtedlyreflect credit on the general press staff.

It is generally what people say1 of us whenwe are gone that counts. The Omaha, Neb."Bee" praised the Barn'am and Bailey Show Invery high terms the day after the performanceand by "way of recommending the show to othercities used the following: "From flrst to lastthe circus contained1 no feature that was notflrst-class and the great audience was loo* Inits appreciation of the show. The greatest showon earth can be sure of a full tent any timeit may choose to return to this city."

The following memorandum comes from Al-bert N. and Edw. P. Eastman, attorneys ofChicago: "Among the orders entered In theBankruptcy Court for the Northern Districtof Illinois by Judge Kohlsaat on Sept. 12,we notice that an order of discharge wasentered In the mattre of the voluntary peti-tions of John A. Barton and Susie Barton, hiswife. The necessity for Mr. and Mrs. Bartonto file petitions was because of their unfortu-nate adventure In the Luella Forepaugh FishWild West Show.

We were carryingtwenty-two people, with hand and orchestra.and tent 50x150, which will be enlarged nextWiison, when we open at Omaha, May 5. to aone hundred foot round top with two forty footmiddle pieces. We will carry forty people nextseason instead of twenty-two. "The Billboard"was a welcome visitor ov.erv week.
