There has recently been considerable com- ment on the subject of theatrical correspond- ents, and the annoyances they cause the managers of traveling shows by their solici- tations for free Admissions, There U no doubt that this privilege has been much ■bused by so-called theatrical papers. One of thceo papers at one time employed a man whose exclusive duty was to secure for It o large number of correspondents, and when he was in New York City, ho openly boasted that he had secured for the paper In question three theuiand currctiwndenli, and each 0UO had subscribed for the paper at $4.00 per year. Three thousand correspondents I Just think of It I None of them were Intended to be a benefit to the managers of shown, and low of them were Intended to be of any use to the paper, outaldo of the $4.00 per year subscription. In Chicago, when "White City" opened, It Is reported that fifty-seven of these correspondents (?) from the towns udjacent to Chicago, applied for free ad- mission In one day. The paper referred to played the game to Its limit, and when the managers refused to recognise their corre- spondents and the correspondents refused to pay the $4.00 subscription, It decided to abolish It* correspondents, and Is now telling us why no theatrical paper should hnve cor- respondents. Tub Mbw Yoiik ii.u'i'Eii has In Its em- ploy only one hundred and seventy-live corre- spondents, located In the principal cities of the United States and Canada. These have been selected with care ns to reputation, ability, etc., and In nearly every Instance they have been recommended by the editors of leading local papers, and none of them Is required to subscribe for our paper, as It la ■ent to them gratis. They arc not permitted to review plays, as that Is done only when the production Is made In New York or Chi- cago, where we have men trained to the business, who give unbiased reviews, with- out sarcasm or abuse. The duty of a Ct.ir- nil correspondent Is to report to us tho attractions appearing In his locality, to- gether with news items which the show managers desire.to have.published. He is generally a welcome visitor, because the manager knows that the publicity he gets, through the columns of a legitimate and reliable theatrical paper, is worth far more to him than the courtesies he extends. The managers, as a dais, do not object to the legitimate, gentlemanly correspondent—it Is the illegitimate and Irresponsible host of gratters that they object to. ♦ »» "THE PRODUCER" A GO. Ned Wayburn li held over for the second week at Hamracrstcln's, and Is locked up for ■11 the time he want*. Early last week some "critics" and others reported that It wouldn't do, "too long," "It would Ret through Satur- day," etc. The public want It and it Is draw- ing packed houses. ai» WEDNESDAY MATINEES TO BE ADDED.

Brown, general booking manager of the Sullivan a Consldlne Circuit, an- nounces somewhat of an Innovation In a vaudeville bill for his houses. He has ar- ranged a list of acts which will be known as "The Ideal Twentieth Century Vaudeville BUI." The program will bo comprised of acts of modern construction. There will be no grotesque make-up, exaggerated clothes or Inflated comedy In the bill. In fact, the ar- tists will be In evening clothes at night per- formances, and during the matinees afternoon attire will be In vogue. It 1b Mr. Brown's opinion that present day vaudeville patrons demand the highest quality of entertainment, and this program will be an experiment that will Interest vaudeville managers everywhere. There arc many acta under surveillance for this bill, and, when completed, will be an- nounced. Franklc Drew, "the former dashing co- medienne" of "The Flower of the Itancb," will tour the Sullivan 4 Consldlne Circuit during tbe Summer months. Miss Drew has many surprises in songs and costumes, sad it is predicted she will surpass her former triumphs In the West. Simons and Shields' masterpiece, "High Life In Jail," with the original cast, in- cluding Hill Mack, will open on the Sullivan a Consldlne Circuit, at Cincinnati, April 8. The act has been augmented with now songs and patter for its Western trip. 1LLAKDT8 GET FRANCHISES. The Allardt Brothers were granted fran- chise last week by General Manager C. K. Bray, of the Western Vaudeville Managers' Association, for their new theatres In Ra- cine, Appleton, Green Bay and Oshkosb, Wis. The first of the new theatres to open will be the $100,000 structure In limine, which has been In the course of construction for over a year, and Is now planned to be opened on April 1 with high class vaudcvlno booked by the Western Vaudeville Managers' Associa- tion. This house, which will play an unusual grade of acts, probably the best Been aside from the Orpheum Circuit, will be handsomely decorated and furnlBhert. This circuit Includes some ten or fifteen houses, and are handled from the offices of the Association. Tho Allardt Bros, recently opened at Su- perior, Wis., and Fort William. Ontario, new theatres, both of which are six day bouses playing five acts, glvlug two shows a day. All tbe new theatres nre arranged with •very comfort for the performer cared for, and, with the abort distance between towns, Is going to be a very'compact circuit, with minimum charges for both railroad fares and excess, which will make it one of the most de- sired routes In the country for tho artlat Incidentally the Arm Is now looking for more theatres, and the announcement of any new theatres would not bo surprising. V. C. C. BIRTHDAY PARTY. The fifth anniversary of the founding of the Vaudeville Comedy Club was celebrated Feb. 17, at the clubhouse, by a clown night and beefsteak party, with tho Board of Con- trol presiding. #i> PANTOMIMIST ARRIVES. . Mmo. Lina Imports, the French pnnto- mjaiist, who Is to be one of tho features of the new Winter Garden show, arrived in New lork Feb. 28, She was accompanied '". .'.. rnrl,la ' WB0 '■ t0 ** h « r lending man, and Mile. Gerard, who appears In the role of a slave girl in a dramatic pantomime called "ScBostra." M. Pavis, author of the sketch, came with her. Male. Imperla and her com- pany have been appearing at tho Apollo The- atre, in Varis.-snd she brought tho costumes and scenery used, there. On Feb. 25 an excellent Mil was furnished to two-goodbouses. ■-•••• ' " . fc _ Tiebold'B seals opened tbe bill, and the troupe did all tricks that other troupes have done, and several more. Including A tight ropo act to good applause.' _. •" . ... . ■Scott and Wilson worked on the stage and in auditorium, and there was something.doing every second after the "farmer" had climbed upon tbe stage. Their acrobatic movements, with good comedy effects, were heartily en- cored. . , . "The Stick-up Man" is a pathetic sketch, In which a crook is Induced by his little brothers and sisters' empty stockings to go out and "stick up a guy." The copper who wants to marry the crook's slater is com- pelled to visit the house with the victim to identify him. The victim Is touched by the acene and falls to Identify him. Tbe de- tective gets the sister and tbe crook promises to reform. The entire act was well played by the four people In the cast, the detective having a delightful brogue. - ... ' Jeter and Rogers, in their "Amateur Night" act, had the audience a-going with their re- hearsal before they ventured to go Into the theatre, and when they came out on skates after their unsuccessful attempt to sing, they danced on-the skates, did tbe turkey trot, and had to take six or eight funny encores. Lottie Williams and company presented their sketch, wherein Miss Williams, as the actress, learns of tbe engagement of her admirer to a girl from the country, and re- nounces him in order that he may keep his word and that he may find happiness In his own world. Miss Williams made her usual success, and the woman and man in her sup- port did excellent work. Harry Mayo, in faultless fashionable attire and In excellent voice, was well liked for bis three aomgs, His repertoire Included "Good- Bye, Rose," 'The Chanteclcr" and "Why Did You Make Me Love You?" Haydn, Borden snd Haydn made good In their piano and dancing act. The two blond brothers alternated with Mr. Borden, and the way In which they played, sang, danced clog steps, trotted the turkey, etc., made a tre- mendous bit. Mr. Borden's concertina selec- tions, mostly rag, were great accompaniment to the suitable movements. They concluded with tbe "Mysterious Rag." Ashley snd Lee, is the Hebrew and the dope fiend, had a laughable exchange of pipe stories. Their popular song finish, with paro- dies by Mr. Ashley, wss a big hit. "Good Old American Names," "I Want a Girl" and "Over and Over Again" were pie for their parody talent Mat Nazarro company put up their won- derful acrobatic act for a finish. Mr. Na- sarro and bis four assistants, including a lady, two miniature acrobats and a wonder of a tumbler, brought down applause by their many startling tricks. It seemed hardly possible that the slender limbs of the little fellows could stand the strain Imposed upon them by the hand and head balances, the slinging about Into all sorts of Impossible shapes In quick-fire work. The lady helped , some, and that tumbler certainly rounded out his work with an avalanche of flips that caused a riot The littlest one of the lot Is quite a success as a comedian. The klnetograph closed the show. « »» THE UNIVERSITY PLAYERS. A new pastoral company haa been 'formed under the name of the University Players, to present Ian Maclaron, tho romantic young English actor, and Agnes Elliot Scott, at present leading woman with Robert Mantel), and for many seasons leading woman with Ben Greet. The company will present a series of pastoral plays, Including "Samson AgonlsteB," by Milton, with which Mr. Mac- laren has already won great distinction In England. The repertoire will embrace many ?reductions never before seen In this coun- ry, as well as a limited repertoire of Shake- speare's comedies. A novelty will be the offering of some modern plays and several pantomimes, In which Madame i'llar -Morln will appear. A company of unusual quality has been engaged to support Mr. Maclaren and Miss Scott. m mm- iran Bhajmhai, China, Jan. 28.

Mr. Crane is peculiar In tho fact that ho always likes to sit at tbe same table la the dining-room, and have tho at- tendance of tho same waiter, whom he tips liberally. After having been served by the same colored man all week, on coming down to broakfast Saturday morning, he was sur- prised to find himself attended by a new ■waiter, while the man who had served him stood Idly and disconsolately at another table. After tho meal Mr. Crane walked over to his regular attendant and inquired the reason of the change. "I'll tell you, Boss," replied tho man.

Lewis Waller, who has been playing In the "Garden of Allah" slnco the play opened at the Century Theatre, will not be seen In it hereafter.

Mr. Baker was a member of the KAISER'S NEW OPERA HOUSE. From Berlin comes the news that the Em- peror Is considering a number of plans for a new Imperial Opera House.
