Post, the Irish-American conie- han, and his company of Irish-Amer- can artists will close their very suc- ressful encasement at the Majestic Theatre on Saturday, January 31st, )])cning- in San Jose for a long- en- gagement. How well this artist has Irawn for four long months has been Utested by the capacity houses he has Jrawn since his engagement opened, ind he will do the same at San Jose. Jule Mendel, German comedian, will follow Jas. Post Company at the Majestic, opening matinee, Sunday, I'\l)ruary 1st. Mendel is well known n the Mission and well liked. He ilaycd an engagement of six weeks at the Wigwam when it was a tent, in the com])any at that time was Natt i'.urton, Francis Rodgers, Jule and Rose Mendel, after which he went to the People's Theatre a few doors be- low the Wigwam for twelve weeks, John H. Burns taking the place of h'rancis Rodgers. The company of four were a riot in comedy acts—very versatile. The managers of our different the- atres are contemplating commencing their shows at an earlier hour in or- der to give their patrons ample time for supper parties after the perform- ance. All places where wines and li(|Uors are sold under the ordinance of our city must close the liquid de- partment at 2:00 A.M., and remain closed until 6.00 A.M. What good is a su])per party without the wine or )eer to wash it down, and, of course, one must have plenty of time to get a sufficiency, have a chat and a smoke; you sleep better when you are not rushed. 1 [ilda Seymour, manageress of the Coast Costume Company, is a very busy girl these days. Her company is sui)])lying the Alonte Carter Com- pany, the Geo. Si)aul(ling Company, and the Gaiety Musical Comedy Com- ])anv with entire wardrobe for their productions. hrank Harrington, who ()])ened last Sunday with Jas. Post Company as leading man, has a good voice and a good stage presence. His numbers with the girls were well received. ]5arton and Ashley have left Lon- don for Australia. Annie Ashley is a sister of Mrs. Jas. Post. They will remain there for 1914, but will be with us in 1915—good Coast De- fenders. Jeanette and Gene Ormsby are play- ing the Texas Circuit and are meet- ing with success; they have not lost a week since last June. Belle Williams doesn't have any use for the pro-rata. Her hubby is leader of the Princess Theatre Orchestra for Bert Levey. Why should she worry? Dan Spellman, house oflficer at the Wigwam Theatre, says it is a joy to see so many Mission girls working in the chorus. The Mission is a good field for good chorus girls, says Dan. Gene Gorman, formerly with Harry Bernard, has joined the Monte Car- ter Com])any as juvenile. Billy Sharpe, formerly pianist at the Valencia Theatre, has joined the Prin- cess Theatre orchestra. Pearl Vivian is at the Majestic The- atre, Fresno, playing the soubrette ])art in the Gaiety IMusical Comedy Company. Eddie Gilbert, the producer and comedian of the Gaiety Musical Come- dy Company, at Fresno, had on for the opening week, Dissection, Ghost in a Pawnshop, and Razor Jim. The bill for the second week started with Muldoon's Picnic. He is a very young producer. Jas. H. Brown, formerly of Brown's Theatre, East 14th Street and Fruit- vale Avenue, Oakland, will soon com- mence the erection of a 1,000-seating- capacity house for vaudeville and moving pictures, in Hayward, where he makes his home. Gus Leonard is the principal come- dian of Keating and Flood's Company in Portland, Ore. Gus says his ranch at Sacramento has had plenty of water to insure cro])s the coming season, so the foreman of his ranch wrote him. Billy Onslow is assisting Gus Leon- ard to manufacture laughs for Keating and Flood. Flerb Bell, the German comedian and producer, was telling Frank Earle in the dressing room of an incident FOR THE BEST SCENERY FOR VAUDEVILLE THEATRES, OPERA HOUSES, VAUD- EVILLE ACTS, ETC. The Ghas.

Miriam Nelke, director; Fred J. Butler, principal (stage director Alcazar Theatre). that occured at him at the Empire The- atre that was on Ellis Street next to the Baldwin Hotel. Eddie Larose, Herb Bell, Joe Arthur, Charley Oro were doing the Hottentots. Bell did not have a black-up shirt, but had a black acrobatic shirt with no sleeves, and it was cut Dutch neck, so Herb had to black arms, neck and shoulders, and used two cakes of Babbitts Soap to wash up. Earle exclaimed, "You must be as old as Gus Leonard!" Hottentots, eh ! Frank Seymour and Alicia Robin- son, the comedy acrobatic marvels, will loiter around here on the local time before taking up their Eastern engagements. They are surely some act. Clara Howard, the clever singing and dancing soubrette, opens with Jas. Post Company tomorrow, at the matinee.
