The New York Clipper (April 1905)

APRltflS. THE NEW YOEK CLIPPER. 191 „in,7 the bill at the Bordesley Palace, Blrm- PiJIaSr "The Boys in White" and "Un- iniib'lcdly the best and neatest dancing and ?r.,'n« act America bag ever sent us" is the mncner la which the brother* are billed. A •trail* statement, but I guess they deserve it all right. On tbe same bill are Lulgl Dell or,> and James Bard. In civlng Judgment for the plaintiff, last Tuesday, in a case In which George Foster, .music boll agent, sued Marie Kendall, for Mimiiilsa'on on re-engagementB, Judge Wood- rail In the Westminster County Court, said he 'considered the action of considerable In- terest to the music hall profession. The de- fendant, he sold, bad agreed to pay commis- sion on re-engagements, and the plaintiff was entitled to Judgment. Whether the practice was w>«e or unwise, or Justifiable on the Dart of the agent, did not concern him. Wymnn'S new American restaurant, on the Strand, was opened last Monday morning, and the place has been crowded from morn- ing till nlgbt. Best of American dishes, at moderate prices, Is the policy to be pursued. A whole building Is occupied, and the fixings ■re very gorgeous and beautiful. J. H. wvmnn Is the manager, and wishes the mem- bers of the profession to know that he will •specially cater to their wants. A press din- ner was given last Saturday, and many oromlnent American performers were present and participated In the concert which fol- lowed the banquet. Mr. Wyman was pre- sented with a large silver loving cup by his American and English friends. A well known American performer, who Is now playing on the continent, wishes me to warn anyone coming from tbe States to the continent with an open contract. Ills exact words: "If you know of anyone who would like to play a month for nothing, tell them to come to this village with an open con- tract. There la an American act here this month with an open contract, and while there Isn't any danger of catching cold with an open contract, there is danger of them seeking a position of assistant feeder on one of tbose cattle boats that go to the States In twenty-nine days If they have nice weather. The performer has as much chance of getting the salary stipu- lated In the contract or playing tbe month as a calf has to kill a butcher." I will also offer a little advice. Americans coming to this country should not play an Introductory engagement at reduced salary. Once you open, and no matter how strong your act may go, it will be almost Impossible:to get the salary up to the proper figures. Of course there are exceptions to this rule, but the exceptions are few and far between. Leon Mooser, manager of Chlng Ling Foo, was In town last Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Mooser came from Prague to meet another triune of Chinese magicians, jugglers, con- tortionists, Just arrived from China, and which Mr. Mooser has booked to open at tbe I'nlace In a few weeks. He reports big busi- ness for Chlng Ling Foo and company on the continent. Mr. Mooser had two or three big offers to bring Chlng Ling Foo to America again, but had to refuse same because be could not get permission from the govern- ment officials at Washington to bring the Chinamen into tbe country. Tbe exposition Inw was responsible for Chlng Ling Foo's first appearance la the States. Mr. Mooser offered to deposit a large bond at Washing- ten, but the officials would not listen to It. A few notes of the English vaudeville world. Last Monday the Brighton Alhambra reverted to one performance nightly. The New Brompton Hippodrome, which has Just been renovated, reopened last Monday. Ida Itene is once more a feature of the London Pavilion bill. At the Empire, very shortly, llransby Williams will make bis contribu- tion to the "Hamlet" boom. His offering will be In tbe nature of a travesty. Oswald smith wife presented him with a son and heir ten days ago. The Music Hall Artists' Railway Associ- ation now numbers 11,sis members. itriini, tbe strong man, who juggles can- nons, shells and other heavy articles, is an Interesting feature of the current Lyceum bill. Charles Waldron, of Boston, who has booked Brlnn for the coming season, Is a lucky man to secure such a strong act, Charles Leonard Fletcher, who arrived la this country a few weeks ago, Is evidently folog to try to break the record for playing be largest number of balls In one night. He begins on Monday next with a start of five balls. I am inclined to believe that one or two weeks of this will be enough to con- vince Mr. Fletcher that It Is best not to try to accomplish too much In this life. A half loaf of oread Is sometimes better than a whole loaf, especially wben there Is only one to eat it. ««♦ VIRGINIA. music and Song. "Tn« Cat ano thb Ciiebub" having been set to music by Franco Leonl, will be heard In London during tbe season. "Andrea Cbenlcr," by Dlordano, will also have Its first hearing at Covent Garden, as will "Mme. But- terfly,^ by Puccini. Mhi. Melra closed her tour of forty-eight concerts In Nashville, Tenn., March 17, and the prima donna sailed for England 26. Emma Games will appear In a version of "Wolfvllle" next season, for which Puccini will write the "score and Clyde Fitch will pre- pare the dramatization. Jf.romb H. Rbkick Co. Notbs. — Mar- guerite Starr has scored a tremendous bit with Williams and Van Alstyne's ballad, "In the Sbade of the Old Apple Tree,' 1 and she w'll Include this song in her repertory for tbe rest of the season. Vio- let to Ma scot to. stage directress of tbe stock company at the Howard, Boston, reports a great success of tbe new ballad, "In the Shade of tbe Old Apple Tree."

Among the big list of singers who are featuring these two song bits are: lionlta, and her midgets; Elizabeth Murray and Curtis and May. C. M. EltCOI.E, The well known French agent, who made a flying trip to New York to Inaugurate tin sensational auto-bolide act for the Uarnum & Ualley Circus, at Madison Square Garden, has returned to Paris, very well satisfied with the phenomenal success of his latest Im- portation. M. Ercole, to whom America Is Indebted for many of tbe notable European arenlc acts of recent years, considers tbe auto-bollde the most remarkable attraction ever imported, and the sensation It has cre- ated In New York undoubtedly Justifies this belief. M. Ercole bas been one of the fore- most agents of the French capital for the past fifteen years, and his artlstcally fur- nished offices In the .Chaussee d'Antln, are the centre of the operatic, vaudeville and circus Interests In Paris.

It was an evening that will long bo remembered by tbose who were pres- ent.

TriB vocalists connected with "The war of Wealth" Co. who make a specialty of Illus- trated songs, have two on their repertory which are great favorites—namely, "Good Night, Beloved, Good Night," and "Becauss You Were an Old Sweetheart of Mine." Notes from Sol Bloom. —The Summer senson Is approaching oil too quickly for some of the publishers, who are looking around for signs of a "hit," but at Sol Bloom's all Is tranquility and confidence. The fact Is that In "Easy Street" Wm. II. Penn and Raymond A. Brown have turned In to their publisher a number that has al- ready set all Now York agog, and that will easily out distance all possible competitors. "Easy Street" Is being sung by scores of vaudeville and other theatres, and among the hundred odd beadllners who are featuring It the latest recruit, Carroll Johnson, who Is making a big hit with It with Dockstader's Minstrels. Mme. Avery Strakosch, the prima donna who Is Just entering vaudeville, will also use "Easy Street" In addition to Sol. Bloom's great ballad hit, "Kisses," which Is going to prove another perennial favorite like ^'There's Nobody Just Like You." Other popular numbers Issued by this house are keeping the staff busy, such songs as "The Mormon Coon." "Georgle," and the never falling "Bit o' Blarney," being In as great demand as ever. Wm. H. Penn has Just com- pleted a One new intermezzo two step, en- titled "The Matador." which assuredly pos- sesses all tbose peculiar essentials and char- acteristics that mndo "Hiawatha" the talk of the world.

It cer- tainly is. The article reads as follows: "It Is Just sixty-four years since tbe late Herd Laddie, then a young player, who bad al- ready made his mark as a clever exponent of the game of draughts, came to Manchester to play 1. Price, of Manchester, a match, on level terms, for a stake of £200. Mr. Price, who claimed to be the Manchester champion of that day, made a sorry show against Wylllc, who won with ease. During his stay Mr. Wylllc ployed many games agalnat other leading lights, nnd we have the pleasure to reproduce one which ho won agamst a Mr. Morchcad, conceding Hint player the odds of the draw. It Is a most brilliant win, and worthy ot tbe high status that Mr, Wyllle afterward altnlucu nt the game, and we feol cure our readers will bo delighted with this aparkllng reminiscence of the old champion's iekiTl which we have rescued from oblivion In an old moth eaten tome, i Mr. Morehead played Black. 11 .15 18 0 24 28 16 11 0 14 24 20 6 14 22 18 12 10 81 24 8 11 22 18 0 0 10 12 20 27 28 24 15 27 24 10 16 82 28 0 13(0) IS 0 8 11 11 8 28 82 22 18 5 14 24 10 15 18(d) 23 10 U» 22 20 2B 7 10 21 17 82 27 25 18 11 IS 20 10 18 22 10 1(1 4 8 24 10(0) 11 20 80 20 27 28 2ft 22 It 24 18 15 18 27 15 10 10 14(6)26 22 2 0 20 1 White wins.
