A new dancintj; floor has been laid and there will be an enlarged orches- tra under Prof, l.erger. There are to be twenty teams of professional dancers in addition to the ])ublic. .Among these dancers are Anne (irahn and Sidney Dellon. .Mr. and ^Irs. Paul Davison. .Arthur I lasin and .Anette Garcia, liaron Mess and Helen Wal- lace. Clarence Lovejoy and .Alice Dcane and Mr. and Mrs. .Alfred Springer. ^lore than $10,000 has been invested in silver cui)s for |)rizcs. * * * The manufacturers of moving pictures will all be represented at the coming exposition of the craft whicli will be held at the GRAND CKX- TRAL PALACE on June 8, to con- tinue for one week. The well-known players will be presented to receive their friends. Some \vill receive in Colonial dress. * * * LUNA P.ARK is now open. It is certain that tlie dan- cing floor, witli instructors from Cas- tle Mouse, will be a popular resort this year. * * There is salt water bathing high up on the Palisa<les at PALIS.ADK [*ark, and in addition to the free variety show and motion- picture exhibit there is one of the largest dancing floors in the country. * * * .A.melia Bingham was seen at the ACADEMY OF MUSIC last week in the play that first made her a Broadway tiicatre manager. After every New York manager had refused The Climbers, she l)ought it from Clyde Fitch, rented tiie Bijou Thea- tre, and produced it there with great success. Miss Bingham was support- ed by the stock company. She was the last of the visiting stars. * * * Cliicago has enjoyed several plays that will be brought to New York next season. One of these is Daddy Long- legs, which Henry Miller produced for Ruth Chatterton, and it has enjoyed a long run in the West. It is to be re- written, nevertheless, before it is brouglU here. Twin I>cds is a i)opu- lar farce by Alargaret Mayo, and Kitty Gordon is a favorite in a musical farce called Pretty Mrs. Smith, of which Oliver Morosco is said to be the au- thor. Then in Philadelphia' Eugene Walter is said to have found success with A Plain Woman, his latest play, in which the popular theme of the es- trangement between a man and his wife, who does not rise as rapidly as he does, is used. Then Annie Russell is there with The Lady in the Case, which will doubtless bring her back- to this city early in the winter. Phil- adel|)hia also had Cordelia Blossom and ISoston L'nder Cover, the most successful novelty of them all. * * * Charles Froliman's revival of Diplo- macy at the EMPIRE is certain to renew managerial interest in that old play. One such performance always deserves another. Marie Doro has been a great success in London, while il i_s certain tiial Blanche Bales will be an interesting Zicka. But the exotic Xazimova would be sensational in that role. luther Grace (Jeorge or Chrystal 1 Feme should be charming as the fascinating Dora, who is al)out as interesting as the adventurous countess to the public. Miss Herne played this role several years ago in a revival of the play made by W'. A. Brady. She is a ri])er artist now and will be delightful today. Caiy Stand- ing would now be a perfect Henry lieauclerc and Conway Tearle ought to play Julien well. Morton Sills re- mains so uncompromisingly .American in such roles that he can scarcely be made adaptable to them. John Mason, now that he is acting character roles for which he is suited, ought to be an admirable Stein. This really would be a cast deserving to l)e called "all star." * * Margaret Anglin continues to ijresent Lady Windermere's ban at the Liberty Theatre. At the Booth Olga Petrova is appearing in Panthea, and Today is at the Forty-eighth Street Theatre, while all the other dramatic performances are comic in intent. They are Seven Keys to liald- pate at the Gaiety Theatre, The Truth at the Little Theatre, The Things that Count at the Playhouse, Too Many Cooks at the Thirty-ninth Street, The Dummy at the Hudson, .\ Scrap of Paper at the luninre. High Jinks at the Casino, Kitty Alackay at the Com- edy, .A Pair of Sixes at the Longacre, Potash and Perlmutter at the Cohan, The Beauty Shop at the Astor, The A'ellow Ticket at the Eltinge, and Mme. Moselle at the Shubert. GAVIN D. HIGH. C ARSON CITY, Nev., June i.— Grand Theatre (W. S. Ballard, mgr.) : The Kleine pictures of Antony and Cleopatra were shown to a most ap- ]>reciative audience last week. Glenn Harper was a Carson visitor Saturday and was warmly greeted by his friends here. The o])ening of the Rex is de- layed by the unfinished work of the decorators. .A. H. M. PORTLAND, June i.—HEILIG Theatre (Calvin Heilig, mgr.: Wm. i'angle, res. mgr.): The Passing Show for 1913 ojiens tonight for eight performances. Traffic in Souls mo- tion pictures did a fair week's bus- iness last v.eek. BAKER Theatre ((Jeo. L. Baker, mgr.; Milton Sea- man, bus. mgr.) : .Announcement is made by the management of this the- atre that next week's bill will close the stock .season for this house. This week the play is The Woman He Alarried, which is chuck full of heart interest and deals with a story of life that is really plausible. Manager Baker oflfered the play on account of numerous requests of his patrons and because manv believe that it is one of the best vehicles to portray the fine acting ability of .Alice I-'Ieming. As the artist's model she is par ex- cellence, and as the role is an emo- tional one, and as this line of work is Miss Fleming's .strongest forte, she, of course, is doing admirable work. Edward Woodrufi? plays opposite to her in his usual high-class method, and Raymond Wells is good as the artist. The minor roles are well played by the balance of the com- panv. Next week. The Fighting Hope. LYRIC Theatre (Keating & Flood, mgrs.) : The management have re- tained the .\ewman-Foltz Co. for an indefinite season to produce tabloid dramas. Yesterday they offered Mrs. \\ iggs of the Cabbage Patch to a big house at each performance. Ethel Mc.Mullin iilays the title role well, and Bertha b'ollz was .satisfactory as .Mrs. Hazv. Mr. Stubbins was well done by Ray Butler. ORPHEUM Theatre (I'Vank Coffinberry, mgr.) : Two hcadliners are on this week's hill, which opened yesterday, namely, Tameo Kajiyama, and Romeo. The otiier acts offered are Homer Miles & Co., Willete Whittakcr, ISronson and Baldwin, Annie Kent, and l'>arrows and Milo. PANTAGES Theatre (Joim Johnson, mgr.): This week's bill includes luliel Davis & Co. in The Candy Shoj); tlie playlet. The First Law of Nature; Doston and (Jordon, fuggling De Armo, F.arly and Laight, and Max l-isher. IC.Ml'RESS Theatre (H. W. Pierong, mgr.)': Robinson's Elephants are featured. The other acts are Elfreida Wein- stein, Clem Bevins & Co., Coakland, M^Bride and Milo, Three Nemaans, and Kammerer and I lowland. Man- agers Keating & Flood closed their long run of musical comedy at the Lyric Theatre in Portland, May 17. Newman & Foltz, presenting The Traffic, opened the following Wednes- day for a brief engagement. It is the intention of the Lyric manage- ment to play dramatic stock for the summer season. A. W. W. SALT LAKE CITY, June 2.—Wil- liam Hodge appeared at the SALT L.AKE Theatre the middle of last week in Tlie Road to 1 lappiness, a rural oflfering dealingv.^ith vvholesouled people, giving this droll co.nedian splendid opportunities for his special abilities. The Sun Dance, by the Brigham Young University Opera Ct)mpany, jilayed a return engage- ment Decoration Day, and the fore part of this week is dark, with Richard Bennett and co-workers in Damaged Goods finishing out the week, and Guy Bates Post in Omar the Tent- maker opening on the 8th. The EM- PRESS bill is bright and spicy, car- rying not a weak spot. J. J. Wil- liams in In Old New York, a playlet dealing with the tenements, carries headline honors. The Musical Rail- roaders, in which Dorsch and Russell appear, is a musical offering, music being picked from switchlights, switch levers, etc. The Usher Trio in their witty sayings, dancing^ and singing, take well, as do also Cooks and Roberts. Harry Rose has a whistling act and Cecile, EKlred and Carr one in which dancing is th ]M-ime feature. The weakest acts oi' j i'ANT.\C;ES bill are the headliner?l| Jessie Shirley & Co. in Under T-^i Mags being looked upon by house's ])alronage as a laugl coaxer, instead of a heart story, Harry Bulger, although he woi hard, doesn't seem to gain much preciation locally, his material not g'i ting over. The Olmsteads, athletics open the show and get good hand for their strong-man feats. Ton Aloore and Stasia have a line of sing ing and story telling that is more thai making good, the first named beigf specially gifted in dialect work. Dia mond and Beatrice Co. offer some en trancing music on the harp and saxo phone, which is being appreciated Sam Loeb has spread himself in thi present offering at the PRINCESS Fun in a Cabaret giving splendid o\) portunities for fun making to him self, playing Dutch to Jack Leslie ii Irish. The .set is perhaps the prct tiest seen at this house in weeks an( the gowns worn by Celeste J5rook^ and Hortense Travers are very pretty The chorus has also been increase! by one dancer. The UT.\H is offer ing Ten Nights in a Barroom in pic ture form. The Sells-Floto and Buf- falo Bill (himself) Circus will be with us on the eleventh, the town alread) being heavilv billed for the occasion. R. STELTER. Truly Shattuck's Husband Tired of Her DETROIT, May 21.—The marital infelicities of Truly Shattuck, actress, were aired today when she was sued for a divorce by Stejjhen Douglas, who was reputed to be a millionaire at the time the wedding took place, l-'irst i)apers in the litigation were filed here, the millionaire alleging various reasons why he should be granted a separation. The wedding of Miss Shattuck and Mr. Douglas was the culmination of another of those romances in which the "love bird" leaped beyond the footlights. Miss Shattuck refused to desert her career as a stage celebrity for the hum- ble confines of a domicile. Mack and Rambeau in Oak- land Willard .Mack and Marjorie Ram- beau will open a sjjecial engagement of two weeks at the Macd(jnougli The- atre, in Oakland, June 8.
