I have been alck and con- fined to my room. In New Bedford, Mass., during tbe past week, and not expecting anything but a dull Christmas eve, but after the show was -over tbe folks came uo to spend tbe evening, and they brought along a regular real supper, with all tbe 'fixings?

Avoid Imitations Bbn Dunham, of the Dunham Family, writes from Cape Town, South Africa, under date of Nov. 28, as follows: "The dear Old Reliable reached me last night, and you can rest assured it was quite a treat la this far away land. We finished our fourth week here Isst night and still go well witb our audiences. A good act seems to grow on them here Instead of losing out at the tail end of a long engagement. Tbe pro- grammes are so arranged here that a new company opens every three weeks, that la, a part of a new company comes In sod part of tbe old ones close, out nearly everyone plays six weeks here aa well as at Johannes- burg. Among the new faces opening In tbo last company were: Tbe Duncan Trio, Hilly Hobbs, Mrs. Haiel Burt, Alexander Prince and Clara Moore. All were loudly applaud- ed the opening night and continue to do well. Among the holdovers were; Kittle Corrle, Hyritm Travis, Llssle I). Raymond, Mario and Dunham Trio and the Tlvolloscopo.l The Chlng Ling Foo Chinese Troupe, which should have opened with the last company, failed to put In an appearance owing to a new law which has been passed prohibiting Chi- nese from landing la Cape Town. Tbe law was passed while they were en route to South Africa from China. Tbey got a permit to play Johannesburg and came la by way of Durban. As far aa I could learn, It was Impossible to get a permit for them to enter Cape Town, so they will return to London, by way of Durban. The troupe went finely In Johannesburg, Our trip to a gold mine, while In Johannesburg, was quite Interesting. We took In all tbe machinery rooms and the chemical department, also the Kaffir grouads, where they eat and sleep. Most of them roam tibont la an Adam sad Eve costume and eat like a lot of animals. They have a lot of large Iron pots, where mealies Is cooked by steam for tbem. For the benefit of those who don't know the meaning of the word mealies, it Is the *ame as our corn meal In America, only It I* not ground quite so fine. This three times a day, wltb meat and vege- tables twice a week, such as la thrown away at tbe markets, make* up their food. The Katllr I* prohibited from using the side- walks In Johannesburg. Tbey use tbe etreeta wltb the animals, but the streets, In some places, are far better than tbe side- walks. Our train trip from Jobaoneaburg back to Capo Town was a very pleasant one, quite different from the duat experience we bad going, as It rained all the way, and tbe country was nice and green, and for wild (lowers, there seemed to be no end of tbem. We are having Bummer weather here at present Juat Imagine strawberries and vegetables of all kinds just In season here lu November. All we have to do to keep well supplied with Bowers Is to take a trip on the train to Camp* Bay or Wlncburg." Coutubr and Gillette are still with tbe Bcdlnl and Arthur act, "High Jinks," and report doing finely. They opened at Keith's, Huston, Doc. 2A, wltb Philadelphia, New York and t'rovldonce to follow. H. K. Wbniiicii, manager of the Penn Quartet, writes: "The quartet opened with Fields * Hanson's Minstrels on Christmas Day, and scored n success. We do our black face act In the olio and three solos In tbe first part." Notes FROM Lancaster, Pa. —The Great Richards besded the bill at the Family Theatre and played to a record breaking business at each and every performance and ut tbe matinees. Many were turned away. Manager Ed Mozart showed bis appreciation by giving a banquet to tbe performers at the hotel Saturday, evening for their effort* in behalf of tbe new theatre. Tbe bill In- cluded: The Great Richards, assisted by Chas. J. Shea; May Kennedy, Blddon Bros., Tony Baker, Shelly Trio, Wall Sheldon, tbe Wonderful Moiarta, the Tennants and tbe moving picture*. Thb Capitol City Tbio, vocalists snd talking comedian*, are making quite a suc- cess through New Bngland. They have added a new duo dance, which strengthens their travesty act.

Sllly and Phelps write: "We have been very successful on our trip to tbe coast. We are now on our way Beat Have been away from New York since last January."
