THB Cmfpeh wishes the Carnival Managers' Association tbe success it rightfully deserves, and predicts for It a long and creditable career. <»» ■ ■ YOUNG'S PIER THEATRE BURNED. On Saturday, March 80, Young's Pier, at the foot of South Tennessee Avenue, Atlantic City, N, J., took fire.' and la In ruins. Tbe lire started between the double floors of one of the dressing rooms back of the theatre stage. Because ot the impossibility of get- ting the fire apparatus on the pier to work, the flames gained great headway, and by the time the city firemen arrived, all the struc- tures on the pier, as well as the body of the pier itself, were n mass of flames, and it was apparent that nothing could be done to save the theatre, bo the firemen turned their atten- tion toward Young's Hotel, next to tbe pier, and nearby stores. The Ore is believed to have been caused by faulty electric wiring;. The pier was valued at $500,000. I i I BIO THEATRE FOR BRONX. Messrs.

Bordoivt, who is now appearing it La Clgale, In I'orlB, will be one of the leading members of the company to present the en- tertainment which will open at the Winter Garden next Fall. All the titles of the burlesque companies and musical comedies, including A Merry Whirl, A Whirl of Mirth, A Boond of Pleas- ure, Palling Parade, etc., would, be needed to describe the gay and festive throng and their doings at the "gathering of the clowns" and their friends on Monday. March 25, at Terrace Garden. From the moment the lights were turned on to the sounding of taps there was something doing every second. It is estimated that easily over two thousand persona attended the affair, and display of beautiful gowns worn by tbe ladles was one, of the chief features. All In full dress the officers and members distinguished by their varl-colored badges and ribbons. Charming femininity was displayed unstintedly, and admiring swain were there In plenty. At every turn lovely woman, attractive and beaming, were met, entertained and admired. Tbe committees did their full duty in look- ing after the comfort and pleasure of tbe visitors, and there was no room for even the merest semblance of a grouch. Tbe dancing was strictly decorous, but the latest ideas In that Une were shown when Leader Prince pulled "Oh. You Beautiful Doll," and a thousand turkey trots, in all stages of the art, were turned loose. It was some action, and dancers and spectators thou ted for encores until the musicians couldn't blow any longer. Tbe full dreis rule was enforced entirely at first, but later those not complying with the rule were al- lowed to frequent the main floor, but a ticket to a box was no good unless tbe bearer had on the white front. The preparations for the performance dur- ing tbe grand march were watched with In- terest. The clown band took a few turns around tbe hall, led by one of the young ladles of tbe Tennis Trio, and played Bweetly. Then Prince's Band struck up, and led by stately Bert Leslie, tbe president, and Sophye Barnard, the grand march was on, with Jack Mason In advance. The couples fell in line quicklv, and the route led through an ante- room.' where clown hats and parasols were distributed to the men, and fans to the ladles. Back to the hail and to the glorious con- fetti shower and volleys of streamers, with the colored lights shedding ell the colors of the rainbows over this enchanting scene.

Or per- haps you, smarty, have secured the conces- sion for a new variety theatre and have booked all the 'stars' for yourself. "One can suspect that you could do any- thing, but I hope at least that you will be spared for this earthly field ot endeavor for a long time to come, and be able to act as lucky star to the best welfare of artists and directors alike.

The Association of Sponiih Draraattato, which includes also composers, in PohUihlng the result of a certain vote token In the -Bodety. makes public ^jon^f***** its various members. As each 2.0W pesetas (the Spanish sliver peseta Is wl«f"«t» about 18 cents American) reedvol to royal- ties entitles a member to one vote It is shown that in 1911 tbe amount received by the twenty-eight most popular dramatists Jnd comoosers in Spain ranged from 18,000 to n™O0o"esetas,and that the aggregate^ ceived by these twenty-eight was 1,081,000 Pe Tokfng into consideration the small royal- ties pall and the relatively small number of theatres In Spain, compared -with the United States, the popularity of some ml tj^fjgx 1 that brought their authors more than $20,000 a year may be estimated. It has been a source of wonder that some, especially the musical productions, hsve not been trans- Uted for the American Btage. The music In SpanlBh light operas, or ''zarsuelas, Js often altogether delightful and "cstcby," and It would seem that at least two or three of the successes of the past year, If ski lfnliy adapted, would also prove commercial suc- cesses In the United States. ♦♦♦ MUSICALLY COLD CINCINNATI. Leopold Stokowakl'a Indictment of the Famed Queen City. Musical Cincinnati has been aroused by the request of Leopold Stokowskl for release from his contract as director of the Cincin- nati Symphony Orchestra. Much surprise was manifested over the action, which tor a time was a mystery. Cincinnati likes Sto- kowskl, and he has been signally successful. little by little the truth Is coming out. The young director felt the slight when the May Musical Festival Board went to Chicago for orchestral aid, and passed by tbe Cincinnati organlzatloa. Under bU own signature Sto- kowskl flays an unfair critic, and he indicts Cincinnati s musical audiences for Indiffer- ence. Here is what he says: "I have been much discouraged by the coldness of our symphony audiences as compared with the cordial receptions tendered the same work by tbe same orchestra everywhere else. I have been told this coldness is a peculiarity of Cincinnati, but I have also been a witness to the fact that Cincinnati is capable of spontaneous enthusiasm, is manifested to outside organizations and artists." Tbe Cincinnati orchestra has enjoyed a series of tremendous ovations In tbe past Winter's tour of the cities, and the lack ot expressed enthusiasm here was chilling. It certainly killed the ambition in the muilcal soul of Stokowskl. PHILADELPHIA THEATRE TREAS- URERS BOLD THEIR ANNUAL BLOW-OPT. The Theatre Treasurers' Club had one jolly time on the occasion of tbelr annual banquet, which took place on the Continental roof, at midnight on March 25.
