In the history of New York's Bast slda nothing has ever created such a theatrical sensation an. tho announcement that Miner's Bowery burlesque la about to move to tba People's Theatre, one block above the old stand. When the startling news was first conveyed to the public by tnany-hued posters old timers rubbed their eyes—they could scarcely believe that Miner's Bowery Thea- tre, tho genuine home of real burlesque, was about to be abandoned after an honorable career of nearly forty years. Not only honorable, but also historic. Miner's Bowery Theatre Is perhaps Just aa well known by lta sub-title, "Tho Bowery Hall of Fame. 1 ' It Is, In fact, the old school from which many a promising pupil has graduated. To mention every namo that baa trodden lta boards would virtually be a bulletin of nearly oil present day Broadway stars. Among those who owe their first start up the ladder of fame to Miner's may be men. tlonrd Weber and Fields, Sam Bernard, Geo. M. Cohan, May and Flora Irwin. Maggie Cllne, Evans and Hoey, Peter Dalley, Pau- line Hall Russell Brothers, Alexander Carr, John T. Kelly, Rogers Brothers, Maude Ray- mond, Emma Carus, Bobby Gaylor, Qco. YV. Monroe, Jennie Yeamana. It was also In this house that amateur night originated, and, although it has been copied and Imi- tated by theatres all over the country, at no playhouse is afforded such screamingly funny diversion aa by the amateurs who are per- mitted to show their histrionic ability In tho Miner houses once each week. 'Miner's Bowery Is moving up to the Peo- ple's, not because tho old temple of amuse- ment has lost its popularity—far from It But burlesque, as a form of entertainment, has made rapid strides within the past few years, and In scenic and costume equipment now rivals Broadway productions. At tho time that Miner's Bowery Thcntro was built, in tho late '70s, such elaborate Stage spec- tacles were undreamed of, and aa a result tho stage of tho old Bowery has been found too small to show off tbeso modern day bur- lesque productions to tho best advantage. Then again, within the past few years ladles have evinced a decided tendency and destro to become enrolled as regular burlesque pa- trons. Realizing that tho fair sex could be mado much more comfortable in tho pre- tentious People's Theatre, tho firm of Miner paid Edolsteln a- Thomasbcfsky, the present lessees, a handsomo bonus to givo up their tenancy, and beginning Monday afternoon. Oct 21, the Zallah Show, with lta quota of two dozen handsomo damsels, will disport themselves at the People's in a merry mix- ture of mirth and song. Will the renular pa- trons of Miner's Bowery Theatre follow bur- lesque up a block ? Why, of course, they will, although for tho first few weeks many an old timer will rub his eyes In amazement that tho famous old amusement landmark will no longer reverberate, with the echoes of music ana laughter aa It has dono for well nlgli two score years. The People's will bo manned by the same efficient staff that mado Itself so popular at the old house, under tho ablo di- rection of Tom 'Minor. Friday will be con- tinued as amateur night, as heretofore, with the Miner's latest innovation, "The Country Store," every Tuesday, and wrestling every Thursday night. MUSICIAN MARRIES INTO CHORUS. After two performances of "Married for a Day," Chas. Schumock, tho cornctlst at tho Empire Theatre, Newark, decided he would try the double harness thing, and tore off to get a marriage license. Tuesday afternoon, with a golden hoop In his pocket, he escorted Ella Strom to the altar, and tho "love, honor and obey" act was put over. The opening chorus of the Auto Girls was a shower of rice upon Charles, In the pit. a JINX FOLLOWS GU9 FAY. Gut Fay, German comedian with tho Big Gayety Co., While playing tho Gayety, Phila- delphia, last week, fell down the stairs In the firat part and tore a ligament la his leg. The doctors say It will be some time before Gua will be ablo to get on the Job again. I HARRY FIELDS A HIT. 'Harry Fields lias received many flattering press notices, which ho well deserves. Harry says that burlesque looks good to him, and Harry certainly looks good to burlesque. i HILLS AND EMERSON CLOSE. Harry Hills and Ida Emerson have served their two weeks' notice on Moso Messing, and close with tho Gay Masquerade™ at the Murray Hill, Oct. 20. I Manager Frank Abbott, of Miner's Em- pire, Newark, was given a surprise Oct. 14. A hurried message from the stage and a re- port ot "trouble brewing" summoned Mr. Abbott to the rear of the theatre, where ho found all the staff and attaches assembled In the orchestra room. "Pete" Mnttln, the stago manager, presented the manager with a beau- tiful diamond-studded Elks' button, on be- half of his confreres. Mr. Abbott was re- cently made a member of Newark Lodge, No. 21. At the "Country Store," last Tuesday evening, at Miner's, Newark, the principal gifts were: A Campbell trunk, a rocking chair, a dish of Dl Carlo's spaghetti (cooked), an umbrella stand, a quart of champagne and garlic, one-half dozen crabs, basket of peaches, one-half dozen pairs silk sot, etc. A theatre pasty, was given at Miner's, Newark, Oct. 22, by tho Mineral Water Drivers Association of Newark. Johnny Dale will close with tho Cotlego Girls Nov. 2; also Lorotta Dale. Tub Manly Stock Co. will givo its annual ball Nov. 20, at Sacngerbund Ilnll, Brooklyn. Job M. Fields, who went to the Western wheel this season, lias closed with tho Moulin Rouge Co. Piibynbttb Oodbn drow the lucky number at the Gayety, Newark, N. J., and won a trunk. I'lhid Bbll, with Gordon & North's World of Pleasure Co., received a big reception in her homo town, Philadelphia, Pa„ this week. Job OrPENHiiuBB had a "country store" of hla own at the Angler's Hotel, Oknuclice, Wis., Oct 20. The handbill announces a "Grand Poultry Distribution" and Free Hot Lunch, with a good time assured to all. THE AUTO OIRLS. 'Starting West, after a successful metro- politan trip, Teddy Slmonds' Auto Olrla closed a record week's run at Miner's Empire, Newark, Oct. 10. Teddy Slmonds, In presenting his Auto Girls, Is giving burlcsquo patrons of tho Em- pire Circuit u burlcsquo show up to tho mark, beautifully costumed, with tho sconery as elaborate as ever seen over the WcBtorn wheel, and a cast carefully drafted, and a fine looking, fast working chorus. Tho book, in two acts, entitled "Married for a Day.' by Charles Baker, is cleverly written, full of fast lines and comedy situa- tions throughout. Charles Baker has con- ceived an Idea in which tho plot is tho chief asset, and it •mbcrs are not depended upon to carry tho show. From beginning to end tho plot is strictly lived up to, and the audi- ence Is kept at "attention" by many funny complications throughout. Musical numbers have been Interpolated In a manner that give tho production a musical comedy tint. Slap-stick and horseplay comedy has been entirely eliminated, and not ono suggestive or vulgar lino enters. Lew Fein, tho principal comedian, who plays tho, part of Abraham Suddslnsky, a Jew undertaker, Is ono of those comedians who keops the audience In good humor, Is brimful of humor and a nit throughout. Fronklo Grace, In a Juvenile role, Is a clever dancer, knows how to read lines and puts over tho song numbers Just right, and Charlie Baker, tho straight, has the right conception in this lino of work, his manner- isms and reading mako him stand out, and his rendering of numbers compelled him to respond tlmo and again with encores. Lou Shcan gave a very clover performance as the lost husband. His work was deserv- ing of attention, and his specialty scored. Mildred Stroller, the prima donna, wears her costumes well, baa a good voice. Is decidedly graceful, and was a pleasing feature. Bertha ibsou, tho HOubretto. romped along from start to finish. Sbo has magnetism, knows how to put over her songs, and can bo put down as ono of the classiest little soubrettcs In burlesque. Hazel Ford, the ingenue, looked dainty, Is pretty, and was very much In evidence with her fast work. Lester Pike gave a lino per- formance as Col. Bailey, a Western charac- ter. The first act showed a beautiful interior scone of a sitting room. Tho following num- bers wcro introduced: Opening medley, "Tho Ghost of tho Goblin Man," "Land of Mako Believe," "New York Town," "Wedding Day," "Hello, Now York Town," "Just Your Way," "Chill Chill Beans," "Experience," A FoW Moments In Grand Opera, ft Merry Carrie"." The second scene shows a lawn with an electric fountain spouting water In the back- ground. Many novel electric effects mado this a handsome scene. At tho rtso of tho curtain tho audience showed their apprecia- tion of tho display with rounds of applause. Tho numbers In net two Include: "I Love No Ono But You," "Bathing," "Put Your Arms Around Me and lie My Bear," "Tho Wooden Wedding," Travesty, Quintette, "Bom-ba-loo." Chorus: Alice Arthur, May O'.Sulllvnn, Evelyn Kramer, Essie Ferrall, Laura Ilurby, CasHlo Martin, Oorlnno Brown, Lizzie Oraco, Mabel Benson, Esther Lnwson, Mabel Vernon, Ethel Poll, Paula Murphy, Lillian Elmo, May PIko, Lottie Reynolds, Kttn Wells, Dell Evans, Oraco 'Marlon.
