Not only, the exceptionally long run of this excellent collection of songs at Loew's Circle Theatre, Now York, but the manner In which It attracted ' audiences to that house, proves cmclnslvely that the songs and the method of singing and featuring them Is the climax In Ulnstrated song singing. The secret of the trick in getting the audience to sing the songs ss they are thrown on the screen lies,la the fact -that -the slides are made to possess- per* sonslltyl After one of the popular'songs Is sung, and the audience has feebly responded, a neat^de is-placed In-the atereoptlcon, throw- ing on tbe screen words of encouragement,-and solicitation -Lto ;the': audience. The ^result ' Is carefully watted by the operator as the next song Is-belng snug by- bothy singer and-audience and some spproprlate slide. Is then nsed to en- courage more fervor -troD the -audience.- In this method the house la gradnally worked up to a high pitch'of. excitement and at each per- Cormsnce the review .ended with slomst -every person In the audience singing with as . much enthusiasm ss the hired singer. Numerous hnmorons cartoons are shown between the songs so that tbe andlence la made to feel at ease and to forget. its- modesty. The review con- sists of a eoDeetlon of choruses from some fif- teen or .tRenty-.ot tbe latest popidar songK MGR. ANDREWS GIVES PARTY. Manager Andrews of the Star Theatre.

During the engagement of Wm. A. Brady's Baby Mine at the Helllg Theatre in Portland, two friends of long standing met for tbe first time la a namber of years, namely William Pangle. manajrer of tbe Selllg Theatre, and Charles D. Wilson, manager of the Baby Mine Company. Both these gentlemen were so highly Impressed with the opening of that company, and being more than anxious to set forth their beet endeavors to the advantage of the other, made a wager with Mr. Helllg, the proprietor ot the theatre, that tbe business would be the best ever played to by a comedy In the city of Port- land, at the same time knowing they were put* tins a pretty high-water mark. tip to Saturday matinee the business hsd ex- ceeded all past entertainments of the like na- ture, and Saturday night being a little uncertain of. the sell, oat msrk, 3Ir. Pangle was a little worried, and as be and Wilson had both worked together many years ago as drummers with the Wagner Band of Seattle, Billy proposed to Char- ley tha.t they get two drums, go out In front of the theatre and dram np an extra crowd, wblcb they did. Needless to say that tbe crowd, the greater part ot whom knew hoth gentlemen,- entered Into the spirit of the thing, and-It was th£ biggest congregation in front of the'theatre In many a day. The two boys won tbetr bet, which Helllg cheerfully paid, the wager being a dinner for the company and tbe theatre staff. Baby Mine adding another record to its many past perform- ances. M.
