While Mr. Bbayne's theatrical experience dates ni far back as 1B80 (although still a young man, now only In bis tbirty-flftta year), bis entree Into the managerial Held rovers a period less than three years. Mr. Sbayne's experience is as varied b« It la In- teresting. Starting as a call boy In the opera house of bis native town. In Quincy, Illinois, nearly twenty-flve years ago, he ?:raduall7 worked hla way up In bis pro- esslon, until now, after appearing behind the footlights for twenty years, be has found a branch of the theatrical business which, by his untiring energy, has not alone given him an opportunity of retiring from active work upon the stage, but has placed bim In the front rank of theatrical promoters, with a most substantial footing In tbe West. His BDCcess In so short a time can be traced no doubt to his keen Insight Into theatrical matters and his watchrulness of the best In- terests of managers and performers alike, Mr. Shayne's first venture In the West was an up hill flRht. The absence of a Coney Island, nrlKbton Reach, Atlantic City, or other Bcaelde resort In the West, where tbe gubllc could bnve outings, appealed to Mr, hayne, who saw the future of the Summer parka In that section of tbe country and went about promoting this form of nmuse- ment. He found at that time a number of these parks already In operation, and, witli the possible exception of the larger parks In Chicago and St. Louis, the amusements olTered by many of the outlying parks were limited to a band concert or occasionally some sensational outdoor attraction, while others were offering mediocre vaudeville pro- grammes : but by obtaining personal inter viewa wltb the different traction companies, who, as a rule, operate these Summer parks, Mr. Bhayne was able to ccnvlnce them by argument and persiinslon the odvlsablllty of playing a bettter class of acts. He pro- moted this form of entertainment so suc- cesstully that he Is now furnishing the vaudeville attractions for over twenty parka, and where formerly there wefe not sumcient Inducements for the better class of acta to make the long jump out West without suf- flclent iiooklnfrs, lie Is now contracting to play the highest class vaudeville acts a sea- son covering from twelve to sixteen weeks, tbe railroad jumps being comparatively small and tho ennngementH continuous. Mr. Hhayne will be remcmherrd as one of ovir best light conedlsnB. when, some fourteen years ago, ho toured the country, starring In many of the then leading farce comedies, such ns "Skipped by the Light of the Moon,'' "The Klndcrnnrtcn." etc. Later he ap- peared In vnudevllle with his wife—the team name licing Bhayne nnd Wordcn—and won a reputation for the past ten years In the principal vnudevllle theatres throughout the country. This same vaudeville experience now stands him In good stead for booking his list of pnrkR. Mr. Hboyne has lately contracted wilh Mesara. Stair & Hnvlln to play high class vnudevllle In Orand Rapids. This Is In conjunction with his Reveral vaude- ville companies touring the larger Western titles during the Summer and operating one of the largest vaudeville agencies west of New York. berg; for who, of any considerable length of observation, does not remember "Me- phlsto?"

Tbe last Field received takes up the question thus vigorously; ^'The experiment made la the toamament Juat concluded at Monte Carlo will probably be taken as a precedent In future. No doubt It la open to further Improvement, but it was a step In tbe right direction, neverthe- less. "It has been the practice hitherto to al- lot prizes to about a third of tbe com- petllors. Clearly two-thltda had to go out empty handed. The exponsea of displace- ment, coupled with those of living In foreign parte seven or eight weeks, are a luxury in which the average cheas player could not Indulge without the aid of generous ama- teurs.
