Syracuse, Sept. 18. The Oswego Society is all stirred up because one of its leaders was denied the privilege of appearing in the pro- duction of "The Flying Prince" at the Richardson Theatre Monday night. Soldiers of General Hospital No. 5 objected to the woman, whose name is withheld, because her husband, a former officer in the United States Army, is alleged to be a pronounced pacifist with no Liberty Bond or war chest contributions to his credit. Adeline O'Connor, a professional from New York, was' brought to Os- wego early in the week ana rehearsed for the part. She has been with a number of good road attractions. Tannehill-Conoly Camp Show. Frank Tannehill and Joe Conoly are producing a musical show to play the cantonments exclusively. In November Tannehill goes to Los Angeles to put on a comedy drama in which he is financially interested. The new Maxim's show opening next Monday will have Veronica and the Gossler Twins among its principals. Some of the road houses around New York shut down tight last Sunday, while others kept open in a way, but did scarcely any business. Ethly and Addison Fowler, at Baron Long's Ship cafe, Los Angeles, for a run of 50 weeks, are coming east, for the first time. They are dancers and have been called "The Castles of the Coast." Paul Corvin, formerly of the Clifton Trio that had to disband owing to one of its members being drafted, is a! Sennett's, Bronx, where he has or- ganized a trio composed of Jim O'Brien, Harry Walken and himself. Fannie Brice, who was leading in "Why Worry?" when that show stopped after one of the season's short runs, may return to "The Mid- night Frolic" on the Amsterdam Roof. Miss Brice was there in the summer. Earl Fuller has four orchestras in the Rector's places. The downstairs orchestra at Rector's, with 12 pieces, is led by Joe Samuel; the upstairs (ballroom) of nine pieces by Mike Special and there is a Jazz combination in the same room, of five pieces. Ben Selvin is the leader of the other Fuller orchestra of seven pieces at the Moulin Rouge. Gnyon's Paradise in Chicago; one of the largest dancing establishments in the world, opened its 1918-1919 season Thursday, September 19, after being closed for nearly three months. Ex- tensive alterations were made to per- mit of larger dancing space and the installation of new features. In its new shape the hall can accommodate 7,000 dancers and 1,000 diners at the same time. Proposals to install soda water foun- tains in the restaurants when prohi- bition takes effect in this country are being made by manufacturers of the fountains to restaurateurs. At the fountains if employed very fancy mixed soft drinks will be served if the public takes to this form. One of the Broadway cabaret restaurants is said to be figuring on putting in a fountain this winter to accommodate men in uniform. _ The now revenue law about being completed by Congress doubles the cabaret tax. The law legally "sets" 20 per cent, of the check as the admission, or to be so regarded. This is as at present, but the new law states that 20 per cent, of the admission is to be collected, whereas now it is 10 per cent. In other words a $10 check would be regarded as including $2 admission and. 20 per cent, of that would be 40 cents. At present the tax on a $10 check is 20 cents. George Grundy, who was compelled to relinquish his lease of Grand Cen- tral Palace through the taking over of the edifice by the Government, is negotiating to assume the lease of the St. Nicholas Rink, now being managed by Cornelius Fellowes, Jr. The bonus mentioned in the taking over of the present ice rink is understood to be $20,000 a year for ten years. If the deal is consummated, Grundy plans to have roller skating in the basement and dancing on the pres- ent ice skating floor. The Brooklyn Ice Rink on Bedford avenue is to be converted into a storage warehouse; Healy's on upper Broadway is devoted to pictures; the ice rink at 181st street is undergoing remodeling whereby the present entrance will be converted into stores. After visiting out-of-town one might change an opinion that New York restaurant men are the only ones who have bulged out their menu card prices to the bursting point. All over it's about the same' with the out-of-town- ers, however, taking the lead 'from New York. Up-State last week three hotel proprietors in one city were called be- fore the local food administration and fined $50 each, with a more severe penalty promised if they did not stop Erofiteering. The food administrator ad in figures where the hotels had charged 900 per cent, profit on two items of vegetables. "Vanity Fair" opened at Rector's (downstairs) last week. It's a very dressy revue, of several principals and girls. The dressing compares with the elaborateness of the same thing always specialized in in the other Rector's floor entertainment, at the Palais Royal. The costumes for the ensembles are striking. It's quite the best show in this respect that Rector's has given. Otherwise in playing and principals there is nothing exceptional. La Sylphe the dancer is in the lead. Others are Mabel Jones, Kosner and O'Dette, the Mertons, Gloria D'Arcy (who leads several numbers, including "The Amer- ican Jazz," the big number of the show, that also has a girls' jazz band with Delphi Daughn as the dancer and the Brady collie dogs taking part); the Sheldons, Kitty McLaughlin and Ar- ture Lugaro, besides the chorus girls: Carol Hayden, Grayce Hall, Ruth Townsend, Elsie McMillin, Marguerite Thomson, Madge McCarthy, Jeanne Voltaire, Lucile Gordon, Helen Walker, Marie Williams, Betty Stone, Ara Mar- tin, Christine Palfy (the latter four with the collies).
