Mrs.W.GAULT BROWNE PLAYS AND SKETCHES 1166 W. EDDY ST. C CIHCACtO LETTER ADDITIONAL. ArmMATH. — Pauline De Vere Lliursi writes from the Unique Theatre, Winnipeg. Can., where she hss been appearing in_tts leading roles of a stock musical comedy com- pany for a number of weeks, thst she was unable to leave last week, ss she intended. as at the lest moment Miss Colby, one of the company members, was taken sick, ana she held over to oblige the management, and was obliged to canceT her vnudevllle engage- ment at firsnd Forks, N. D. She will prob- ably remain at the Unions until the endor the year, and then expects to return to Chi- cago The Actors' Church Alliance will benefit by a performance io ba given by Donald Robertson and bis company at Music Hall, evening of Jan. 7, when BJornstorne Bornsou's comedy, "Sigurd Blende,' will be presented for the drat time In this country. Phillips and Fnlardcau are booked over the Barbour and Sullivan & Conal- dine time, opening at Waterloo, la., 16. They are booked through to the coast and return, 'this being their second trip >ver the circuit In- side of two years. In their great laughing com- edy, "Her First Rehearsal?'...Theodore Rob- erts, Guy Standing and May Buckley will be seen at Powers' 30, in "The Bight of Way," following the remarkably successful engage- ment of Francis WIIboh, In "When Knights Were Bold.".. .Fiddler and Bhelton, two col- ored men, have been one ot the big laughing bits of the excellent bill at the Olympic this week, and the very refinement of tbelr act has spoken volumes for their ability. Never for a moment do they buffoon or clown, and every hit they make Is legitimate. Harry Fiddler Is s mimic and singer of no mean ability, and R. B. Shelton la a pianist who has few equals on the vaudeville stage, and la one of the greatest of colored trick pianists. They sing harmoniously, and to their comedy singing and the minstrel finish tbey make a hit Maud Ryan, of Inness and Ryan, sends me a copy of Kelfh'a Theatre News, from the Phila- delphia house, In which appears a fine cot of herself. The team Is an Immensely popular one, and baa played the local houses many times and always with success...... There hat been considerable change In the executive staff of Powers' Theatre .of late, and one now finds Jay Cauloeld In the posi- tion of treasurer; this young man has been In Mr. Powers' employ for some time, snd steadily forged ahead, and deserves the pro- motion, which came to him when J. H. Reldy left for the California climate, as bis health was bad. C. Spencer Harris recently Joined the staff as assistant treasurer, having been for some time previously in the same ca- pacity at the Oarrlck. Mr. Reldy, however, Is sadly missed, as he had a great many friends here... .It Is announced that "Marcel Is the name of the musical comedy in which Marguerite Clark will make her stellar de- but at the Oarrlck later In the season Building Commissioner Downey notified 150 five cent theatre managers, 18, to place their houses In a semi-fireproof condition.. ..Two box offices are kept open at the Colonial matinee days to accommodate the crowds, one office selling for that performance, and the other for future performances. Ever since "The Merry Widow'' opened, the lobby has been the scene of a continuous line of buyers, and the advance sale is the largest In the history of the house.... Jack Dresdner was a recent caller, having returned from a suc- cessful vaudeville engagement at Belolt, Wis., where he met with much applause in his im- personations of Bert Williams, Bobby North, George M. Cohan and others. He Is a clever young man, and has been a great success in several of the well known musical comedy successes of this and past seasons. He makes his headquarters at toe Western Bureau of Tub New York Clipper At the Electrical Show to be held at the Coli- seum, Jan. 18-25, the first local demon- stration of the wireless telephone will be given In this city, an event which Is looked forward to with Interest Great sorrow Is ex- pressed in local theatrical and circus circles at the untimely death of A. O. Rlngllng, in New Orleans. .B. C. Whitney, the progressive De- troit manager, who owns the Whitney Opera House in this city, has nought the Interest which Harry Askln and Mort Singer held in Joe Howard's producUon, "The Flower of the Ranch," in which he and his wife, Mabel Barrlson, are starring, and It may be seen at the Whitney later on, though It is not definitely settled as yet Mr. Whitney is also said to be negotiating with Mile. Datle, who la with The Follies of 1907," to appear at the Whitney, In "A Knight for a Day," st the close of her engagement with the former company A large number of entries have been made for the roller skating contest which will occur at Sans Boucl Park Rink, which is for the mile handicap event A company traveling Friday, Dec. 18, near Lincoln, Neb., was in a wreck. The members had juat been talking about "the hoodoo combination," when the wreck oc- curred, and though none of the members were hurt, the scenery was damaged somewhat The accident occurred near the city limits. The Wachsner Co. will be heard at Powers' Monday maUnee, Jan. 6, in Frans Grlllparzer's "Medea,'' a classic of the Ger- mans.... At Music Hall next month a series ot very interesting lectures will be given, namely: Percy Mackaye on "The Playndust and the Piny," Jan. 6; Otis Skinner on "The Actor's Ethical Viewpoint," 21; Richard Bur- ton on "Amusement and Instruction in the Playhouse," Feb. 20, and William Norman Outherle on "Ibsen's Predecessors and the Norwegian at Gergen," Jan. 0; "Ibsen, the Idealist," 16; "Ibsen, the Critic of Society— the Rights of the Individual." 28; "Ibsen, the Reformer—the Social Bond," 30, "Ibsen's contemporaries (Blornion, Tolstoy, Strlnd- herg), Feb. 6; Ibsen's Disciples (Suder- mann, Plnero, Jones, Wilde, Shawl," Feb. 18. Vaudeville will be a thing of the past at the Auditorium before the closing days of January, with the Ban Carlo Opera Lo„ which is at present booked for Jan. 20 at the Oarrlck, to succeed It la that house The Shuberts, who handle the Oarrlck, object to the change, but It Is supposed to have been made at the request of Henry Bus- sell. Later on "The Round Up" and "Ben- Hur" will be teen at the bla house for ex- tended runs The Polish Theatre Association of Chicago began a series of performances In Its native tongue at the Whitney recently, when members appeared in a four net Polish drama, "Popychadlo," by John Siutklewlcs. It Is said to have ap- pealed strongly to the representative audi- ence, and to have had many strong scenes. The mystery of the death of an actress recently In New York, named Ella May Burke, has caused some sensation in Chi- cago, aa a young girl of thst name left her home here some time ago to go to New York to become an actress. It is uncertain whether the body Is that of the local young woman or that of a Jessie May Burke, of Rochester, who Is thought to have changed her name to Ella after she left her home and went on the stage. The Miss Burke of Chlcsgo changed her name to Mlgnon Worth when she went on the stage, nnd was recently a member of a "Buster Brown" Co No- tices are already being received at the Wes- tern bureau of The Nsw York Clipper for copies of the anniversary number, which will not be published until Feb. 22. This betokens an unusual amount of Interest In the forthcoming big number of The Old Rili- am.k, and shows which way the wind blows. More reservations have already been made by the local Bureau already than the en- tire amount of copies sold of this special number any previous year. There Is cer- tainly "something doing" wheu such is the case, and performers are expressing an un- usual amount of Interest In the annual event Louis James, who has bought the "Peer Gynt" production of the lite Richard Mans- _dV SK-W: The Gillette Safety Razor set con- sists of a triple silver plated holder, 12 double- edged blades, 24 keen edges (blades so inexpensive that when they become dull you throw them away as you would an old pen) packed in velvet lined leather case, and the price is $5.00 at all leading Jewelry, Drug, Cutlery, Hardware and Sporting Goods dealers.
