Applause was far from being vociferous, but, then, it's hard to put coracthlng over and go big with a warm weather crowd, who are uneasy and restless. The entertainment was good of Its kind—a pleasing array of talent, distributed nicely, and bright In spots. Juggling Dcllsle opened the show with several feats of Juggling, and while he introduced nothing new; bis stunts pleased. The whole Sully Family—John E., William F., Grace, John F. Jr. and Estello— presented a variety farce, "Tbe Information Bureau," a rapid Arc affair, with a few mis- understandings and a happy ending. Si- mondet, a new recruit In vaudeville, possess- ing a well trained tenor voice, rendered sev- eral operatic selections, and finished with "Sliver Threads Among the Gold,"* which served the beat of ail In his repertoire. Edward T. Blondell, Miss Urat and Ar- line 8hecde appeared In a playlet, "The Lost Boy," a farcical offering, which allowed Edw. Blondell, as the fat boy, plenty of scope for his "by gosh" comedy. England has sent mnny comediennes to this country, but It has been years since Chicago vaude- ville patrons have had the pleasure of seeing as clever and capable character comedienne from across the "pond," as Wish Wyune. Her appearance on this sill was an artistic aug- mentation. She Is an actress with a soft, sweet voice. Not alone Is she magnetic, out her Impersonations of several English characters are natural and free from exag- geration, She was tbe headllner and de- served that distinction. Albertlna Ranch, •n exceptionally clever toe dancer, surround- ed by eight terpslchorean artists, presented I "Le Ballet Closslque." nilly Gould and Belle ABhlyn, were well received In their home-made songs and jokes. Tecbow's cats, Just plain, everyday felines, taught to do a few tricks, closed the show. Underlined for week 10 are: John Tiller's "Suushlne Girls," Winona Winter, Ruby Norton and Sammy Lee, Will Rodgers' "Fun In a Harem," Cook and Stevens, Nip and Tuck, and Ergottl and Lilliputians.

Max Faetkenbeuer, manag- ing director of the Consolidated Amusement Company, is In Chicago superintending the rehearsals. Adelaide Norwood and Charles Le Seiier arc among the principal singers. Lew Dunbar Is one of the comedians, and Robs Dale, Slcbel Page, Josle and Ethel In- tropodl and a long list of other singers and players have been engaged for the company. VETERAN ABTISTS IN DEMAND. It is something unusual for burlesque pro- ducers to engage only old time performers for their organizations. S. Fltchenberg and 8. H. Sella, managing owners or tbe U. S. Music Hall, American Theatre and the Chi- cago Theatre, a circuit of prosperous minia- ture burlesque houses, on State Street, Chi- cago, have announced this policy. After a careful study of popular priced and per- manent, stock burlesque they have concluded they can achieve' more success with players of the old school than, with beginners. Col. Harry Scfton, a pioneer burlesque producer, Is to direct rehearsals for all of tbe theatres on this circuit, and the management has sent out callR for performers who have bad years of experience, the more veteran the Letter. * Al. Abbott, the Chicago singer, who has been meeting with success on the road, left .Friday night, 12, for Burlington, la., to spend a week's vacation at his mother's' home. Next week he will play a return en- gagement at the Miles Theatre, Detroit. Arthur La Vine and Company, with the "Flying Dreadnought" act, will hove com- pleted fifty consecutive weeks of work when Grand Theatre, at Evnnsvllle, Ind., and Billy James, manager of tbe Broadway Theatre, Columbus, 0. .-- Vera Berliner Is considering an offer from Geo. Lederer to appear in his new production which opens In Chicago in August SINGER'S ENVIABLE SHOWING. Mort H. Singer has scored his twelfth consecutive success with "A Modern Eve," the musical comedy now having a prosperous Summer run at the Garrlck Theatre, Chicago. Other managers, in the wider field of New York, may be able to claim an equal or greater number of winning ventures during tbe same period of time, but none of tbem can boast as Mr. Singer might, If he were at alt boastful, tbat they have never had a failure. * EXPLORER DOBBS ON TRAIL. Tbe moving picture expeditions sent above the temperate zone have had to face almost insurmountable difficulties. But Beverly B. Dobbs, an Alaskan camera man, who has spent years In the Arctic regions, succeeded In bringing back tbe much coveted pictures, Eleven Summer and eight Winter seasons be passed. In quest of scenes and events that would faithfully portray the Northern Alas- kan and Siberian inhabitants with their hunt-, trig, their snorts and religious observances,' The result Is close to five miles of films, re- cording almost every phase of Northern life, from the gold mining operations to tbe dance of the natives upon the successful conclu- sions of a seal, hunt, from the dog face that causes all the eyes in Alaska to turn toward Nome each year to the reindeer herds that In eighteen years have Increased from 600 to 40.000. The early rush of gold seekers 7 car- ried Mr. Dobbs to the Northern fields, but he went as a picture maker, not as a treasure seeker. His photographic work has been recognized by the leading educational Institu- tions of America and Alaska, where It hangs as a lasting record of the fast disappearing tribes of our Northern possessions. '* Rose Goldsmith, who has been soloist at the Suburban Gardens. St. Louis, has been engaged by Dave Lewis for the ''Don't Lie to Your Wife" Co., to play the part of Pansy, the house maid, and introduce her singing specialty. Miss Goldsmith possesses a lyric soprano voice that tbe critics in the cities where she has appeared have spoken of la highest terms of commendation.

Vour hundred members of the organization, representing every In- dustrial wholesale' nnd retail enterprise in Chicago, Bat clown to a feast wblch was desig- nated us a "musical munch."

None of the articles were written by anyone having more than a su- perficial Interest In the motion picture busi- ness, nnd as a consequence the symposium of MOVING PICTURE GROWTH. The growth of pictures In general favor has had more than a little to do with tbe decimation of the regular amusements In Chicago. There Is no longer a doubt that within a year or so the Loop will be studded with big houses presenting moving pictures. The art and business of creating tbe silent entertainment Is advancing more than any other branch ot theatrical endeavor. None less than Daniel Frohman has entered motion picture producing. We may safely predict thnt Belasco himself will yet have bis name on films, and tbat tbe Industry will soon be assorted Into various levels, from the ordi- nary five cent comedy reel to the full play or show, with the faces of noted stars In tbe casts on the screens. « CHICAGO PARKS PROSPERING.
