Verne Layton Tliis young- leading man, wlio is well known locally in Seattle, Vancou- ver and the Sound country and in San Diego, has with a modesty quite un- usual made verv little of a pleasing ap- pearance in the way of publicity. \\'isely. he has made a new move with the new year and The Dramatic Review offers a very handsome pic- ture of this young leading man on its initial page this week. Mr. Layton is about five feet, ten inches tall, a fine dresser and a versatile and capable leading man. He has just finished a long season in San Diego stock and is now in San Francisco considering offers.

Jones (Jonsey), is now in Cali- fornia. The show is just off the Cort time in Washington and Ore- gon, where it cleaned up. The Northern press, from Canada down, are loud in their praises of the at- traction, which is one of the heaviest billed shows in the West, carrying complete scenery and properties for the production. Wise managers will do well to try and arrange a date for the show as it is the first time in this territory for the attraction.

Robert Fischer, of the Little \\'omen company, was born in Dan- zig, West Prussia, Germany. He was intended for a business career and sent by his parents to the Na- tional Oeconomie, at the University of Leipzig. There he met the cele- brated dramatic instructor, Herr Al- bert Von Hahn, who advised him to adopt the stage as a profession. He joined the Leipziger Schauspielhaus in Leipzig, where he acquired the rudiments of his profession. Then followed an engagement of two years as leading man at the Munici- pal Theatre at Coblenz am Rhein, and this, in turn, by one year at the Residenz Theatre and one year at the Lausam Theatre, in Berlin, also as lead. Three years ago Mr. Fis- cher journeyed to America, and joined the German Stock Company at Cincinnati, remaining there one season only. Since then he has played in The Stronger Claim and in the Liebler production of A Daughter of Heaven. Mr. Fischer holds a commission as first lieuten- ant in the Konigin Elizaljeth Garde Grenedier Regiment,Number Three, stationed at Charlottenburg. This rep^iment is named after Emperor Wilhelm's sister Elizabeth, Queen of Greece. In case of a war with Germany and a foreign power Mr. Fischer would have to return to the colors, buckle on his sword and go to the front. Dick Ferris and Wife Are Reconciled for a Time Anyway LOS ANGELES, Jan. i.—After several weeks of domestic strife, with divorce proceedings imminent, Dick Ferris and his wife, known as Florence Stone, have decided to "kiss and make up." The rumor of this reconciliation has been con- firmed by both Ferris and his wife, and today the couple returned to their home on West Adams Street, where they will remain until Mrs. I'"erris"s proposed trip East to fulfill theatrical engagements. With her hand slipped through Dick's arm, Mrs. Ferris made the following statement in regard to her matri- monial affairs: "Yes, Dick and I have made up, and I think we are both glad." Ackerman and Harris Get Suit Over Use of Sketch Pleasant Surprise A very pleasant surprise in the form of a banquet was given to Harris and Ackerman, managers of the Western States Vaudeville Association, at the Republic Theatre on Christmas night after the performance. Speeches were made by most everyone present and Mr. M. Lebovitz, as toastmaster. Among those present were Messrs. Harris and Ackerman, Oppenheim, Jane O'Roark has been made a de- fondant in a District Court action brought against her by Edward Mc- fntyre, retired Navy officer and mem- ber of the Bohemian Club, where he resides. In his complaint Mclntyre alleges that Miss O'Roark appeared in "piratical performances" of his copy- righted sketch Up the River, which the complaint modestly assumes is a "composition of great artistic value." The sketch was played at the Hippo- drome Theatre in Los Angeles during the week of December 8th under the title of Double Crossed and the play- wright declares that the production of the playlet without his consent dam- aged him to the tune of $2,500. Huron L. Blyden. Miss O'Roark's leading man; the Western States Vaudeville Association and the Hippodrome Amusement Company are named as co-defendants. Miss O'Roark declares that Mclntyre's bringing suit against her was inspired through purely per- sonal motives. "The truth of the mat- ter is that I collaborated with Mr. Mc- lntyre in the playlet he claims I had stolen," declared Aliss O'Roark ye.ster- day afternoon. "The sketch in its or- igina form was hopeless for playing purposes, and night after night I worked with the author whipping it into form for vaudeville production.

Besides, I had no idea of using the act fraudulently .Mr. Mclntyre and myself had a verbal agreement as to the amount of royalty I was to pay him, and Mr. Blyden, who worked with me in the sketch, wrote him from Los Angeles that we would settle with him upon our return to San Francisco. We left for the south in such a hurry that I did not have time to even telephone him of an unexpected booking down south." Meanwhile Attorney H. H. Davis, acting for Mclntyre, besides filing the District Court complaint has asked the Federal Grand Jury of the Southern District of California to investigate the circumstances .surrounding the al- leged "piratical performances" of Up the River, which dramatic effort, he states was substantially tlie same as Double Crossed, in which Miss O' Roark and her company apjjeared.
