Clayton Smith, a good-looking, intelligent and tal- ented actor, who has been playing around the Coast for several years past, being found capable in a var- iety of parts. In fact, his five feet eleven inches is chuck full of ability. Cluxton Gets Answer From Pantages Last week General P>ooking Agent Cluxton, of the Pantages Circuit, was told that Alex Pantages was going to sell out to the Marcus Loew people, so he wired his boss to find out. And as quickly as the tele- graph could answer, came the re- ply: "I am not in the market to sell; I am buying. I do not know if Mr. Loew made such a statement or not. However, I do not want the impression to go out that I am in the market to sell, for I am not. My theatrical holdings are not for sale. I am extending my circuit and I am always open for a good theatri- cal investment." Nick Turner Secures Lease on Chico Theatre CHICO, March 30.—Nicholas O. Turner, local theatrical magnate, signed a lease today taking over the management of the Majestic Theatre of this city for a term of years. Tur- ner announced today that $2,000 would be expended in remodeling the interior of the playhouse owned by the Elk's Hall Association. Tur- ner's bid was higher than any of the other bids received, but the Jact that he was a local man and on the spot to look after his interests and the interests of the liouse was a great factor in awarding the lease to him. Chico is to be congratulated upon Turner having secured the house. He is a good manager, a hustler and popular with show peo- ple.

(My commission expires April 5, 1914.) [SEAL.] Wrong on Relationship In our article last week, there was a slight misprint in stating that young "Tom" Maguire was a son of the well-known "Tom," the elder. It should have read, the son of J. T. IMaguire and a nephew of the famous Tom Masruire. Dell Harris vs. Warren Fabian Alias Joe Fabian For insulting Dell Harris' wife, Dell administered to Warren Fa- bian, an actor at the Liberty The- atre on Broadway, a chastisement last week. I'abian was arrested sometime ago for assaulting Joe Rose and was fined twenty dollars in the police court. He assaulted a chorus girl, Mae Allbright, in Tex- as and got into trouble for that. Father of Vaudeville is Dead PALM BEACH, Fla., March 27.— B F. Keith of Brookline, Mass., the vaudeville magnate, dropped dead of heart failure at his hotel here at mid- night. He was 67 years of age and apparently had been in the best of health. Mrs. Keith and Paul Keith, a son, were with him here. Mr. Keith was married to Miss Ethel Bird Chase in Washington, D. C, on October 29 last. By his will Mr. Keith left his large estate to his son Paul, having previously settled a large amount on his young wife. Savoy Theatre Plans New Policy The Savoy Theatre, which for the last seven montlis has been under the management of E. Fleet Bostwick, who took over the sub-lease from Kutner and Graves after the melan- choly short life of the Oriental Thea- tre Stock, reverted to the original les- see, William ^IcKenzie, last Wednes- day. Mr. McKenzie will in a week or two announce the new policy of the Savoy, and it may be there will be a new stock in town. Charley Thall a Benedick Cliarlcy Thall, born and raised here and well known in the East as a first- class theatrical man, surprised his many friends by marrying at San Ra- fael recently. The bride was Miss Betty Stout, for years a popular Ex- aminer employe. Congratulations. Personal Mention Marie Jaxsen, well known in com- ic-opera circles over a quarter of a century ago, died at Milford, Mass., March 20, at the age of 65. Miss Jan- sen was known in private life as Hattie Johnson. Al. G. Barnes, circus magnate, filed suit March 27, in Portland. Ore., for divorce from his wife, Dolly A. Barnes, alleging among other things that she had spent $18,000 belonging to the circus which he had entrusted to her care. In the complaint Barnes says his real name is Al. G. Stone- house and that Barnes is his show name merely. Mrs. Barnes, he al- leges, has persecuted him in various ways and has treated him cruelly. Max Steinle Re-Discovered It isn't often that Seattle people get the chance to applaud a hope-to-die native son on any of the local stages, but they have that chance just now at the Tivoli, where Max Steinle is han- dling German comedy roles. Max was born here at a time when Mount Rainier wasn't more than half as tall as it is now. Thirty-four years ago, as a little barefoot boy, when Seattle was a town of about 3000 inhabitants, Max used to toil up and down the Madison Street hill, directly past the spot where he is now employed as an actor. In those days Max used to carry eggs and butter from his father's farm in the outskirts down to the old grocery store at West and Madison streets, now Western Avenue, and trade them for supplies, which he would lug back to the farm. It was nine years after this time that the cable line opened, and Max says that the walking in 1880 was excellent. Since he has come back to town with the Tivoli forces, Max has found a number of his boyhood friends, and he will drop even his art to discuss by- gone days with them, when the Denny cow was a Second Avenue landmark and Mill Street was the center of town. Max saw those three men hanged in front of Henry L. Yesler's old home in the eighties, went through the Chinese riots, remembers well the day when Fred Struve got 100 in botany at the old university, and still maintains that the Eliza Anderson and North Pacific rollimhiA THEATRE \4\/1>UAKLMXC1 the leading PUYHOISE Geary and Mason Streets Phone Franklin 150 Second and Last Week Begins Monday, April G—First American Tour of the Stratford-Upon-Avon Players Monday niglit, Borneo and Juliet; Tuesday niglit.
