Kiur.u Is managing the Lincoln Park Theatre. Chicago. This house Is de- voted to moving pictures, and Is one of the best paying houses for Its bIzc on the North Side. Oeo, 1'. Machler la assistant manager anil secretary to ilr. Rider. Akmi: I.nman, who was at one time with Modjuskn when she was In the zenith of her powers, has gone Into vaudovllle. She is now utmost seventy years old, but, with Indomita- ble energy, she has rehearsed a sketch, and Is now appearing In it at the National The- atre, In Detroit. She will later go on the l'nntages Circuit. The sketch is called "Gan- nct Farm," and is by Georgians Evans, of the Colonial Theatre forces, In Chicago. Mlsa Inmori has tbc assistance of Solile Lester and Frances J. Donnelly. Maiitiia Kussell, leading woman In many of the- late dramatic releases of tbc Bssanay Co., Is to make a thirty day tour of the South- vest, remaining one night at leading picture theatres and giving n lecture or picture making, and relating personal experiences before the camera. This is not a new line of endeavor for Miss Russell. She was very successful In this line of work last season. Miss ltussell has the leading female role In ■•Twilight," a recent Essanay release. Tiikue is a scarcity of acts at this time which hns caused the vaudeville agents some little uneasiness. It Is not known Jnst how many acts hold blanket contracts from the Association. Openings here and there were filled this week from acts without such con- tractu, other agencies had to bustle a little to fill their bills. In one or two Instances acts were booked by other agents, and when given time by the W. V. M. A„ tried to cancel. A particularly aggravating Instance came up In which Frank Q. Doyle figured, fie had made a place for an act that tried to evade fulfillment of the contract Al.KUKD IlAJlllUBGBR is tO hflVC Still On- other theatre. It -will be called the Vernon, lie operates half a dozen theatres on tbc South, Side, and the new one will be in that section also. Mr. Hamburger is one of the few managers booking his own talent. He operates an agency and gives his personal at- tention to the make-up of bis shows. Axkl Ciiaisisnsen appeared at the Lyda TLeutvo last week, his fourth engagement at George II. nines' popular playhouse. He Is credited with "stopping the show" on several occasions. Mr. Cnristensen appeared at the Manner Theatre, Milwaukee and Itobcy, the week previous, and broke all records. He Sretrained Manager Cllpsoa a return date In an near future. Tml past Summer was certainly a harvest for the moving picture theatres. Vaudeville places, turning to pictures for the Summer, nave some hesitancy in going back to the old policy. The Franklin did bo welt with pic- tures that prices have been advanced to 10 cents. The Parkway plays pictures with 10 cents admission, and did nicely right along. The Plaza changed to vaudeville Sept 1, after prospering during tbc Summer with pic- tures. The Circle Is doing so well that tbc chances are that vaudeville will never have another chanee there. The Lyda, formerly a vaudeville bouse, is likely to remain true to pictures. J. 0. Matthews now books Cook's Opera House In Rochester. X. V, and sent the first bill to open Labor Day. John Nakh, of the Sullivan A Conaldlne office, Is back from a successful Southern trip He uow bookB the Majestic, In Alpena, Mich., and offers his first ahow this week. Joiin Miltebn, who has been with "Officer 6C0," in Chicago, will soon take up the same part with the company that la playing the farce in New York, replacing George Nash, who Is to be made Into a star In a play called "The Other Man." The Colonial Tiicathe la partly In pos- session of mechanics, who arc preparing Its stage as an ice rink. As soon as "The Merry Widow Remarried" deports to-night, Aug. 31, work will be rushed on tbc installation of an ice skating plant, which will provide a sur- face for the skaters In the closing scene of "A Winsome Widow." The work cannot be completed In less than a week, and the the- atre will therefore be dark all next week. The stage will be covered by four and a bait Inches of ice, covering an area of thirty by forty feet, and providing room for tnlrty skaters. Behtie Beaumont relieved Adelc Rowland of her labors In "A Modem Eve." The Kkdzii: Tiieathe, one of the leading neighboring theatres of the city, booked by Edward Hsyman, opened Its regular season Sept. 1. Habhy Robinson, of the W. V. M. A. re- turned to Chicago Wednesday, from an ex- tended business trip in the Canadian North- west Lou M. -Houseman, Western representa- tive for A. U. Woods, and Fred F. Fleck, manager of "The Littlest Rebel," were ar- raigned In Jndgc Scott's court Thursday, Aug. 20, on a charge of using Mary Miles Mlnter in the play In violation of the State labor laws tegulatlng the employment of children. The case was continued by agreement to Bent. 3. The State factory department claims It has a statement from, the girl's grandmother that she was born In 1902. The defense says the girl is seventeen years old. She plays the part of the Littlest Rebel. Many of tbe num- bers of the cast will be summoned as wit- nesses at the next hearing of tbe case. Ciiarlbs Whits, who last season cared for the Empress, hat been appointed permanent manager of the Sullivan & Conaldlne house at St PaoL "HANK SPONGE'S ORKESTTRY." Art Adair opens at Kensington Monday, 2, with bis new ottering, "Hank Sponge's Or- kestry," for the first half of the week, with the Victoria, at Logan Square, for the second half. Art will play the Academy first half of week Sept. 9, and will probably have some big time to follow. It is no exaggeration to Bay that Adnlr has made millions laugh with his musical Idiosyncrasies. 4 "Johnny on the Spot," a new tabloid mu- sical comedy, tinder the management of Boyle Woolfolk, will open a vaudeville tour at Ottawa, III., Thursday, G. Dick Gardner, Anna Revere, Charles Hunt, Grace Fuust, Sam Sylvester and a chorus of eight are to be with this attraction. Giobob H. Robebtson, the dean of all theatrical passenger agents, and whose years as Chicago city passenger agent for tbe Wabash Railroad lias brought him In contact with tbonsands of the profession, leaves for a trip to New York 8, where he will meet many of the producers and agents.
