Xo, the mules have not been got yet, lie gosh! Charley Byrne will be here with Ethel Davis in The Candy Ship, and Knowlson, John Lord, John Schroedcr ct al. will rejoice when they all meet. Have one with me. Gertrude Alvarado, the sprightly singing and dancing soubrette, is with the musical comedy company 'present- ing The Candy Ship, and Gertie is a full-rigged ship all by herself. Willis West and Hazel Boyd of this city are a big hit on the United Book- ing Time around New York City in their singing and dancing specialty. Coast Defenders' office has had a chop suey rcstaui^ant added to it. Very handy for the actors who like noodles, chop suev, pork saute and birds' nests. I f Harry Bernard were only here now .'' Hilda Seymour journeyed to San Jose to see the weclding of Dot Ray- mond and Geo. Slocum. Hilda says • icorge is very fond of the two chil- dren and that he shows the proper -pirit to make a good father to them. The Dramatic REvmw offers con- gratulations to bride and groom and the children. Virtue, the act billed to appear at Pantages for last Sunday was switched to the Republic Theatre, where Myrtle Vane made an instantaneous hit in the leading role. Al Hallett was hurried into the bill in place of Virtue at Pantages, and, on in third place, with three in the cast, made a hit with The Sloan Shark. Herb Bell, Julia Hamilton and com pany are playing the Victory Theatre, San Jose, this week. They will jour- ney to the Hippodrome, Los Angeles, for Mrs. Weston. Liberty Theatre, on Broadway, has discontinued musical comedy for the time being, and Manager Estes Is playing vaudeville at present. The Emil Clark Co. closed at the Market Street Theatre, San Jose, last Saturday night. The members all re- turned to this city. Matt Burton and Charley Oro, con- sidered by managers and public as the best producers of laughable comedy acts in the profession, with the assist- ance of a young lady, will shortly open negotiations with their former man- agers for placing their comedy three acts with them. They can change- acts as often as desired. Sol Pincus is now, and has been for some time, located at Grauman's Im- perial as publicity manager. Sol was formerly house manager at the Wig- wam for Pincus, Harris & Bauer. Sol is doing clever work in his present job. Frank Leahy went out ahead of Lorenz, the hypnotist, last week. He has routed several dates for Lorenz, who will shortly go to Au.stralia. The latter half of this week the show is playing the Wigwam. Vaudeville actors who took a flyci into the movies at San Rafael say they did n.t need a company of infantry from the Presidio to guard them when they got paid off. Canary bird salary and sixty-cent car fare from 'Frisco; out of it one day a week, some weeks two days. Ye gods, has the profession come to this! Billy Jones, the blackface comedian, who has been managing a picture house up at Sepastopol for the pa,si 14 weeks, has returned. The old house has been torn down and a new concrete theatre'with stage and scenery will be built, and Billy will place acts in conjunction with moving pictures. Frank Earle, an extra moving-pic- ture actor at the Cal. Motion Picture Co., has joined Herb Bell and Julie Hamilton as straight man. Jake Wallace, the oldest living min- strel, has been a daily caller at the Coast Defender office, and is looking hale and hearty. Harry Rattenberry is up fi^om Los Angeles with a company taking mov- ies around the waterfront. Grant Gardner, the gloom dispenser extraordinar\', will be seen at the Em- press in the near future as a blackface comedian. He is the personification of with and humor. The Get-Away that Chas. Bach- mann and his associate players will present to the Empress patrons in the near future, has but few equals in vaudeville. This interesting sketch was written by Willard Mack, and on its first ])resentation in New York was voted the most popular underworld sketch seen there in many a month. Trixie Friganza has a dramatic agency in New York operated under her name, but managed by her hus- band, Charles A. Goettler. Both dra- matic and musical people are handled. Herb Bell, the German comedian, formerly of the Jas. Post Company, was united in marriage recently to Julia Hamilton. Miss Hamilton is a sister of Mrs. Post. Mr. Bell and wife, with the assistance of Frank Earle, are producing a laughable com- edy act for Mrs. Ella Weston, and wei-e at the Republic Theatre last week, where they made a big hit. Orders have been sent out closing the Imperial Theatre in Vancouver, B. C, which has housed the S. & C. vaudeville since February. Vancouver will be off the S. & C. bookings for a period of four weeks.
