"If public Interest In the next two years will continue as it has In the past three," said Mr. Dlppcl, "Chicago will have accomplished In five years what Mew York failed to do in twonty-flvc—establish a self-supporting grand opera company. Mo other .operatic institu- tion in the world, be.it municipal or gov- ernmental, Is aclf-aupportlng, and at the close of each season the subsidy must be drawn upon to cover the deficit In the various European cities. "Within five yean it is safe to say that the rapidly increasing popularity of bfae Chi- cago company will. give It practically dicta- torial power throughout the'country, outside of New York.

Not long ago a man would have been con- sidered Insane who mentioned such a dob- nullity as either Miss Barrymore or Mme. llernhardt appearing in vaudeville at popular prices.

This theatre has long been known as one of tie highest class playhouses in the West. The management have scorned to have their pick of the East- ern successes, and rarely does an at- traction play here that Is not only the very highest grade but - also an un- doubted popular favorite with dis- criminating patrons. -The house is Ideally situated, close to the most fashionable hotels, and on one of the Erlnrlpal boulevards of-the city.

Strength Is added to the show by the appearance of Jennie Le Beau, who docs a specialty In Indian costume. KLINE CLOSING CONTRACTS. Herbert A. Kline may decide to make lis headquarters In Chicago more or less of the time this Winter, as It will afford him a better opportunity to come Into direct con- tact with managers and committees tban If he were at Flint, Mich., where the Kline Winter quarters are locattd, and where he has a beautiful home.

Gerald Griffin, the Irish tenor, decided it was to hla advantage to use "Just an Old Time Song," and no ballad can be more beau- tifully rendered In the high voice than when Gerald charms the listeners with the high K-flat unlsh. • • ' . - I,ou Archer tried out "The Chickens' Ball, and the result Is that he continues with the song in his repertoire. He Is preparing to take the leading part In "Loulalana Lou on a Western trip. _ Parrona of the Boston Oyster House can - hear the pompous basso of Bert Bingham, a plcaelni; voice, while he pleases them with a studied rendition of "Just an Old Time Song." • ' -i While commenting op. voices heard In Chi- cago mention should be made of Billy John- son, one of the well liked tenors who pos- sesses a voice of personal .charm. Ask aim what'his big song U. -Fred Sossman. Is singing "Cnckcns' Ballf" arid he remarks that they like It wherever he goea. .... . Billy Moore sings ballads. Billy Moore la a patriot of "Old Tlmo Song," too, for It la. the only ballad he uses. :■ . Edna Whistler, so popular at-Rector'a, Is using this new old fashioned, and It was she who called It "The Song with a Soul." The Deagon Brothers (twins) do a "duet," being one of their feature doings. "Time Song" la the answer. ■••-'. Burt Murphy disappeared down Boat! with a ballad that be vows he can make with one rendition^ "The Old Time Song" brlnga tears bo the' South as well as .it brings glad- ness in the North. Bill Dickey is doing "Chickens' Ball" with unusual success. Just such a peculiar rag novelty-like "Chickens' Ball" suits the song to the singer, and vice verso. - Flo Collier remarked that she came from New York to Chicago to get the "Chickens' BK11," and Incidentally found "Just An Old Time Song." . .. . Othera prominently using "Just An Old Time Song" are: Miss Koplan, at Rector's; Paul Herrlck, Larry Temple, Alberta Cole and Charlie King. It is a pleasure to know that acta and singers can "get by" really Immense with a song possessing a true emo- tional sentiment—a "Song with a Soul"—In place of harping on a song that displeases civil modesty and the car as well. s HARRY L. NEWMAN NOTES. Ethel Kirk and Billy Fogorty are meeting with great success singing "Take Me Back to Dreamland" at each and every performance. Miss Kirk wears a $800 gown when singing thU "hit." The Threo MlsBes Weston are featuring two Harry Newman songs, namely: "Take Me Back to Dreamland" and "My KUlarney Rose," and while playing the Kedzle The- atre last week were approached by more than a score of the music pliiggers to change their songs and put on something tbey were: push- ing, but nil their efforts were fruitless, aa the above named songs arc two big hits, and there arc no songs published right now to take their place. HolmcB and WelU, Udna Whistler, Olive Morgan, Fred Gerrlty, Green and Parker, Bob Sherwood. Alice Walsh, Vera Long and every other ballad singer of reputation in the city of Chicago ar e all featuring the only and popular song sensation, "Take Me Back to Dreamland." Mickey Dudley, "The Pride of San Fran- c.sco' aa an entertainer, writes In that the real song hit la San Francisco at the pres- ent time 1b "Take Me Back to Dreamland," and no matter where yon go you are sure to hear the song sung. And Mickey knows what he Is talking about. The Society Trio, composed of Bingham, Rellly and Temple, singing nightly at tbc Boston Oyster House, arc certainly putting it over; or, in other wards, "Just oozing lt R every performance, with the new sensational gong riot "In Dear Old Dixieland," Harry Newman a new Bong, on the style of his lamous Tennessee" song.
