Smith and Doretto (their third time at this house) still go big, and they were Just booked a return. Tbey keep the audience in good humor for fully ten min- utes, Ida Fuller, tbe well known Are dancer, baa a genuine novelty and makes a tre- mendous bit The Agousts, well known jugglers, who were In America, seem to keep up the reputation of their well known act. At tbe Apollo Theatre the performers known In America ure: Tbe Willie Brother*, Jean Clermont'e Circus, and tbe Four Mad- caps, each one ot them having played America. At Amsterdam Drawee, tbe well known Juggler, has caught them Immensely and plays Hamburg next month.

In Cologne the barefoot dancer. Mildred Howard D« Gray, baa made more than good, under the tnanagemnt ot Guatave Amberg. Wood and Bates, and Kelly and Ashby are also billed in Cologne, from whence I have Just re- ceived a telegram atatlng that tbe manager has refused to continue we management of the bouse. In Dresden the only American act Is a troupe of pickaninnies, but I don't know them, In Hanover are the Hoopers, In Ham- burg are Bunth, Itudd and Co., and In Leip- zig, at the Rryatil Palast, are Johnson and Itean, creating a furore. In Chemnlts are Cooke and Clinton and Little Fred, and at the Battenberg, In Lelpxlg, are the Three Meera, Griffin and Du Bois, and the Three Honeys, laat year with Fred Irwin.

Rumors are. flying around Berlin that a now variety theatre Is to be built for next season, but I bear that It Is Impossible to get a concession unless It Is built wltb an entire space clear of everything—no offices or rooma in tbe building. Attbat rate It will hardly pay. Ben Tleber, the American who waa to open the Apollo Theatre, In Vienna, Is In Berlin, renewing contracts for next season.

Notes. —Tbe Golden Mas- cot Shows arrived at Winter quarters, after a very successful season extending Iron April 30 to Nor. 17, the laat day, howeter, being canceled on account of a severe cola wave, and tbe show went Into quarters with- out giving the closing exhibition In It* home town, as advertised. All performers and working people were paid off In full, and, after a bounteous supper, departed for tbelr various destinations. The Wllmartb Family remained at tbe Winter quarters, as tbey will go out during tbe Winter with tbt Golden ilascot Company. Bobby Ward and Franta Eeltb bad not far to go, being resi- dents of Alva and Freedom, In Woodi County, Okie. Moat of the ahow company had homes In different parts of Kansas. Dick Dllts, Ed. Myiea and Jack Baldwin started for Southern California, to spend the Winter In San Angeles. Of losses in stock, nine horses were left behind during the seasoa, three of which died, and one waa stolen by I horse thief. Nine valuable performing dort were bat en route, and two trained goati succumbed from unxnown causes. Altbougk the losses by flood and tornado bare exceeded those of any former season, the aggregate earnings of the ahow have far outdone all previous years, and the profits have been correspondingly greater. Those of tbe work- ing people who remained faithful to their trust to tbe cloalng of the tenting season were each presented wltb a suit of clothes of the latest style suitable for the cold blast! of Winter. This generous gift for sobriety and faithful performance of duty was al- ways considered a fable by those who broke the rules of the show In the good old Sum- mer time. Altogetber the season, especially the last three months of it, have been very satisfactory to the managers. Notes fbom Geo. S.
