Ef Ko mechanical contrivance or stage effect !J hat created the Interest that Is being shown ' In the race between an. automobile and a train In "The Honeymoon Express," at the Winter Garden. On tht opening night of too play It was proved that the public has not - lost Its taste for melodrama, because the . race effect is highly colored melodrama with a bong, Fire years ago, when every melodrama boasted of some wonderful scenic effect, one of the most Industrious workers In the field of mechanical stage contrivances was Long- don McCormlck, a graduate of Albion Col. lege, Mich., and an expert electrician. By and by the public began to tiro of this form of entertainment; Mr. McCormlck then turned to vaudeville as nn outlet for bis genius, and bis efforts In this direction were re- warded by his conceiving and producing the effect now la use at the winter Garden, and It Is to tbls sccno that the new production owes Its title—"The Honeymoon ExpresB." The day after the opening at the Winter Gar- den, Mr. McCormlck received offers for over forty weeks In vaudeville, but this could not be accepted because the train effect Is con- trolled by McBsrs. Bhubert for a certain Eerlod of weeks. Mr, McCormlck Is now In ondon arranging to produce the same effect not only In London, but Paris, Berlin and Johannesburg. After having produced every kind of effect on the stage, Mr. McCormlck realized that he had reached the end of bis rope so far as effects of races and such-like were concerned, r.nd he called to bis aid Howard Tburstoc, the magician. They have formed a partner- ship and now control two workshops, one In Cob Cob, Conn., and the other in West Fortieth Street, New York. Hero they bave a force of men constantly at work upon effects which they will bring ont In the future. It was from the shop In Fortieth Street that the llfe-Blse locomotive used at the Win- ter Garden was manufactured, hut It took yean of study preparation and experiment- ing to bring the effect to Its present state. Illusion plays a large part In the scene, be- ' cause the audience first sees a tiny train nnd an automobile racing along the mountain aide. The train and automobile grow in site until with a rush and roar, they dash upon the stage—the monster locomotive purring and hissing and the automobile chugging. Mr. McCormlck, who Is still a young man, has had An Interesting career. He was born In Fort Huron. Mich., and after being grad- uated from Albion College, whlcb Is located near his home, ho accepted a position with the General Electric Company, In Lynn, Mass. There he was employed in the experi- menting department On his Drat holiday he went back home, where he was invited to take part in an amateur performance. Otis Skinner, who was then appearing in Shakes- pearean plays, came to Fort Huron and young McCormlck managed to get an Inter- view with the actor. The result was that Skinner made him an offer to join bis com- pany, and he travelled with him for two sea- sons, playing minor roles. By nnd by Skin- ner suggested to the ambitious actor that he try his hand at writing. The result was a melodrama called "Mo and Mother." Now, McCormlck has forty-five melodramas to bis credit, and while they may bavo outlived their usefulness, ho prides himself on the fact that they were capital royalty getters. After leaving Skinner's company McCor- mlck went to Paris, where he studied paint- ing, but this did not appeal to him, so ho returned to America and took up the work of writing melodramas in a Bcrlous manner, end his flret big success was "Hearts Adrift" In writing this he put In a scene where the villain and hero find themselves adrift In an nlrstiln, and It became necessary for him to build the effect himself. It was the Drat time, according to McCor- mlck, that an audience had been treated to tbc effect of an airship rising over a city and proceeding on its flight At that time this effect was regarded as the most expen- sive over attempted In a production of this kind, costing over $4,000. It did much to establish the fame of "Hearts Adrift," and the piny made a small fortune for its author. Finding the time hanging heavily on his hands, McCormlck decided to return to the stage, and for many years he acted the Juve- nile roles in bis own pieces, some of which were "Toll Onto Inn,'' "Out of the Fold," "Jessie Left the Village," "Wanted by the Police," "How Hearts Arc Broken." nnd many Dthcrs. He also Is the author of "The Bur- glar and the Lady," in which James J. Cor- bett starred several years ago. "There has always been, and always will be. a demand for good scenic nnd mechanical effects on tbo stage," says Mr. McCormlck. "Bat the trouble Is that If you Introduce ft fairly good effect In a legitimate drama you are likely to be criticized for building your play around the cTTect. In other words, if the scene is a success It will dominate the play, which goes to'show bow the public loves out of the ordinary reproductions on the-stage. At the Winter Garden we'are. of course, In the heart of the 'thriller' class. Many of the effects produced' by i Mr. Mc- Cormlck, wbllo not easy to produce, are mere child's play compared wltb what be calls '•perspective Jn motion," as applied to each a scene as the automobile and train race at the Winter Garden. Both he and Thurston are still at work on tbls Idea, and are con- fident that In time to come they will be able to work such an effect In brood daylight' In other words, they can.-take objects ana people off tbe stage by utilizing a road or walk on tbe scenery. Imagine the value of sucb an Invention! The villain, for example, might jump Into his automobile and tarn np the mountain pass, while tbe audience would wstch the machine grow smaller and smaller as It disappears Into space. Their next per- spective effect will be a sailing vessel, Which tfiey will show on the water and then grad- ually bring Into the harbor under full sail. Here again they will use lights and be aided by semi-darkness, which will heighten tbe effect ^ _^ MARTIN BECK'S DENIAL "Tbe published statement that I am the ranager or director of the new Palace Thea- tre, at Seventh Avenue and Forty-seventh Street, New York City, Is untrue. The Palace Theatre Is neither owned nor controlled by roe, bat, on the contrary, by a corporation, the Palace Theatre and Realty Company. In which prominent Eastern nnd Western gers are Interested. The policy of the Palace Theatre has not been settled upon, and no statement of any kind whatever regarding Its future has been given out. When the board of directors of the Palace Theatre and Realty Company decides-upon the nature of tbe attractions to be presented, the Informa- tion will be given to the public. (Signed) Martin Bidk." 4 »» THEATRE AND RESTAURANT COMBINED. Something novel In the war of music hall and restaurant Is to be tried by a corpora- tion composed nf F. C. Whitney, B. C. Whit- ney. Alfred E. Aarons and several others, la a building to be erected on a plot fronting on Fifty-fifth and Fifty-sixth Streets, about midway between Sixth and Seventh Avenues. The site of the new music hall, which will lip known as tbe Coliseum, was purchased on Feb. 27, at a cost of nearly $500,000, and ■work will be rushed so that the place may be opened about Sept 1. Light opera, panto- mime and vaudeville will be offered, with a restaurant service in the auditorium. There will be scats for 8,000 persons. The general price of admission Is to be fifty cents, and the highest price f 1. About one-half of the lower floor will be equipped with revolving orchestra chairs, and the other half with tables and dining chairs. There will he no balcony or gallery, but encircling the audi- torium there will be three tiers of boxes, seating from eight to fifteen persons each, each box equipped with tables and a com- ?ileto special dinner service, and large enough o accommodate private dinner and supper parties. Another feature of the enterprise Is thit patrons attending another theatre hi the early evenlg may, upon presenting the cou- pons for their reserved seats at the other theatre, revelve general admission at the Coli- seum on payment of 25 cents. The orchestral concert will begin with dinner at six o'clock, the regular stage performance at about eight. About eleven o clock the more Important fea- tures of tbo bill will L-e presented, enabling patrons who bave attended another theatre to enjoy the best part of the entertainment. Ttioro will bo on the second floor a ballroom with an orchestra in attendance available for the Coliseum's patrons. In the Summer a glass-topped sliding roof will be thrown back and the Coliseum will be operated as an open air garden. Performances will be given nightly, srd there will probably be four mati- nees each week. BILLY KERSANDS RETURNS. "Billy" Kersands, of the old guard of min- strels, whose name was a household word In the days gone by, arrived in Sen Francisco, On I., from Australia Feb. 20, accompanied by his wife. The veteran minstrel's tour In tbo Antipodes was not a success, due, he says, to the fact that there were so many small towns to play to, and the aggregation of which he was a member was too large. Althougb a bit down on bis luck, Kersands and his wife are optimistic, the former popu- lar end man taking things as they come, "There's no use kicking," laughed Kersands. "We simply do the best we can. The old days of the minstrel shows arc past. Vaude- ville Is the only place for the old timers now. I am flfty-Blx years old and bavo done the minstrel stunt for thirty years with such of the old guard as Primrose and West, Jack iloverly and Lew Dockstader." • ■ » MAYOR DEPENDS "DAMAGED GOODS." "Damaged Goods," a play adapted to Eng- lish by George Bernard Shaw, which was originally announced for production March 10, at the Astor Theatre, but for some reason its premiere was cancelled. Then the Thlrty- nlntli Street Theatre was obtained, but that too, was refused soon afterward. It was finally arranged to give tbc play at one of the lending hotels In this city, but the man- agement notified the promoters that It could not possibly bo done, so an appeal was made to Mayor Gaynor, who wrote a letter stating that there will bo no police Interference wttn the performance. William Harris has rented the Fulton Theatre, nnd the afternoon of March 14 haa been settled on for Its presentation. ■»»» MILDRED ELAINE SEEKS DIVORCE.

At the Empire Theatre, The Benefit of the Doubt, a comedy in three atcs, by Arthur Wing Plnero, was produced Thursday after- noon, Feb. 27, by' the senior memjiers of the. American Academy of Dramatic' Arts, with this cast: : # •'.. •« •', ?> ''..• John All Ingham Raymond Bramlcy Alexander Fraser .Benton W.'.L.

Vryling Putnam Mrs. Qulntqn Twelves.. ... ..-.Carrce Clarke The story of "The Benefit of the Doubt" hinges on the uncertain verdict of the court in dismissing a divorce salt in which Mrs. Fraser is named as the co-respondent, and the Judge tells her he will "give her the benefit of the doubt" Her husband doubts her Innocence, and she leaves him and goes to the husband of the other woman. It was In tbls scene tbst Mary Keener, as Tbeophlla, Fraser, the discarded wife, most strikingly demonstrated her ability. Miss Keener, In the most difficult part In this comedy, showed a degree of dramatic perfection usually found only in an experienced professional, and to- gether with her personal charm and magnet- ism, she captured her audience. Benton Grace, as the - husband, gave ft creditable performance, while others seen to more or less advantage were Raymond Bram- lev, Langdon Glllct, Raymond Lockwood and Virginia Norden. Preceding the Plnero comedy was a one act drama, "The Thief of Destiny," which was dramatised by Campbell MacCollach from his "A Thief In the Night" F. Eleanor Vllet played tbe part of Mrs. Henry Bcott- Carow, and William Stlef, as her husband, five a graphic representation of a drunken ore. Sicca Gruska, as "The Girl," was good. The students taking part In these two performances nre In their senior year In the Academy, and will graduate In a few weeks. Many of them Immediately will go on tbe professional stage. a i > NICK HUFFORD A "PAPA." Nick Hnlford, who, with his partner, Bell Chain, Is scoring on the best time In their laughable singing and talking skit, "The Culled Parson and tbe Minstrel," has been wearing the big smile (even In bis sleep) since good old Feb. 18. Nick and Dell have made "Here Comes My Daddy" one of their feature songs In tbe past, but they are now singing It with even greater results since the "stork" made Mr. Hufford a real, live "dada," with the coming of Mary Frances Hufford, born at Grant Hospital, In Columbns. 0., on the above date. Weight, eight and one- quarter pounds. Little Mary Frances can well be proud of her "daddy" and "mammy," for Mrs. Huf- ford was formerly Etta Lockhart, who, with her sister, Phemle, formed one of tbe best ?irlle acts that vaudeville haa regretted oslng, and Phemle la now doing a single with as great success as Etta has had on tbe matrimonial time, and both are as happy over the arrival of Mary Frances as Father Nick. Mr. Hufford halls Columbns as his home town, and as the act was working at Keith's Theatre, In that city, week rot Feb. 17, be counts It a bit of bis usual good luck that bis first engagement there should bring him such happiness. A number of ex-mlnstrel men of the AL G. Field aggregation attended one of the performances at ^Keith's during Hnfford and Chain's engagement there, and after the show appropriately congratulated Nick, who was with tbe Field forces for several seasons. Mrs. Hufford and Mary are doing finely and smiling, along .with "papa." si » GLEASON'S TRAVEL TALKS.

BirrmtTAiNs ladies. Pursuant to a call' fall of original ideas, the ladies turned ont In goodly numbers to grace by their presence the "Second Annual Crime," perpetrated' by the clowns, 8anday morning, March 2, and the theatre wae packed from tbc footlights to.the windows. . At 12.30 A. II.. the overture commenced. Vlollngky, in a Verdi wig and Jo Jo beard, presided with bin baton ; Charley Goldsmith put his heart into his clarinet, and the heartrending strains were muchly appreciated. Paul Barron was the official announcer and, with his ad Kb. material, was a riot all through . tbc show. • Master Gabriel, es the littlest clown, de- livered a prologue thanking the ladles for deigning to bestow upon their club their gracJoUB presence, and hoping that the enter- tainment would compensate them for any mental anguish that may have been caused through their husbands having at times been detained here at rather unreasonable hours. Tbe stereoptlcBo got to work -with a num- ber of funny flashes, and then two moving pictures were shown, Including the latest talking attachment The talk being fur- nished on the side. Looking for a Partner wss repeated by Tommy Gray and George McKay, and made a hit The O'Brien Trio of singer, pianist and flddltr, put over a good number. George Yeamass, after introducing, him- self, entertained with his talk on the Arm Chair Banquet and the subway rush, "Picking a Mother" was a bright skit ty Tommy Gray, In which a huBky boy and bis sister learn of their father's Intention to marry again, and decide to examine the prospective mother as to her qualifications. Fred Dupre was the boy, Blanche Co'.vln the ,lr1, and Leona Stephens the fiance, who Jailed to qualify. The skit was foil of hits and nearly all the papers, agents, managers, and circuits, and many performers came In for some mention. McKay and Contwell offered a short act of hoofing end prancing and caused lots of ton. Lea Copeland offered his coon dialect songs, Including "Luxury." George Whiting and Sadie Burt had their "Loving" song, and the lady sang "I Wish I Was Big." . _ The racing drama, entitled "A Race for Misfortune," had all the familiar loess of the mortgage, the villain, Henry P. Dixon, In pursuit of the fair Nellie, Fred Duprez; the father, the Hebrew horsetraijier, with an Irish dialect; the Jockey, the wooden horses, and the hair-raising finish between them, and the four scenes were chockful of laughs.
