William Morrla announces the Inaugura- tion of the "twice nightly" form of English music ball entertainment at the New York. The policy la Identical with that pursued at the TlvoM or Oxford Theatres of London. The manager who was toe first to Inaugu- rate ttio English music hall style of enter- tainment In this country, when lie first took over the American Music Hall, with seven- teen acta, will Introduce this form of vaude- ville. This will not Interfere with the dally - matinee, tho evening's portion of tbo en- tertainment will be divided Into what, In England, is called the "first," seven to nine, ana "socond" house, nine to cloven. Any- one visiting the theatre between seven and nine, will be allowed to atny until the full portion of tho entertainment is caught Up with In tho "second" house. Arrangements completed by cable by Mr. Morris hint week will facilitate the booking of acts from the Oxford, Tlvoll and fifty other theatres In London devoted to similar Jinllrles. By this arrangement all of the big urna of England which play those theatres will be seen at the New York, together with tlio best known of the vaudeville headline™ and recruits from musical comedies and the dramas of this country. The vaudeville bill will bo considerably lengthened at tho Now York, while the first run photoplays and Ktncmncolor vlcwa will ho given their individual parts of tho pro- gram. "It hoa been a custom for arts on vaude- ville bills to present extraneous matter for no other purpose than to fill In time. In the nils I intend to present only the most enter- Inlnlng portions of the bills will be given," Mr, Morris asserts, "and I feel sure that after the public have had Its first taste of tills stylo of amusement, they will grow to like tho rapidity with which tho program movi'H. in London tho theatre manager is able to give a tremendous bill at less than half the coat of admission In the higher Triced theatre. This la what will bo done at he Now York Theatre. By filling a theatre twice nightly at leas than half the cost of admission to the higher priced vaudeville houses I will accomplish the same end from a financial point of view, and easily give the public far more for their money." 4 » » HOBOKBN TO ADD ANOTHER.

A good bill was presented April 6, at tho Columbia, New York, Van Cello opened with a display of con- tortion work on the mat, then foot Juggled a barrel with many stunts of the contortion kind, In addition to keeping the bare! a-golng With one or two legs. Rao Eleanor Ball delighted -with violin se- lections, showing technique and expression, especially In her closing number, employing the mute with striking effect, for which she waB enthusiastically applauded. . Tho Letter Trio presented n lively sketch, a mix-up between a comedy detective, a mar- riageable widow and her lively young daughter, who was rlgbt there with the repartee. They had many new "nifties," all of which went home. A reporter, articles in different papers, a husband who was drowned In a bathtub, and a plumber who fixed the leak In a bathtub. For a climax, the detective is made op as a female fortuno teller, with good laughing; effect. Weston and Shear, natty singers and co- medians, put over a big hit with their con- ception of popular songs, including "San Francisco Bound," "I Love Her, Oh, Oh, Oh," "Devil's Ball," "In My Harem," "Snooky Ookums" and "The Yiddish Sociable Ball/' They were recalled again and again. De Venn, Faber and company were the second comedy sketch, to show, and made good in their offering In the office of a law- yer, whose young lady client must marry to get a fortune. The lawyer's chum returns unexpectedly and is robbed on a car. Being hard pressed, he consents to the marriage. The ceremony la performed over the 'phone. The lawyer's wife is Jealous through her mis- understanding; -tho situation. The client raises, her veil and shows a black face, which, however, proves to be merely a disguise. She turns out to be the chum's childhood doyB' sweetheart and all Is well. The eklt was well acted by the two ladles and two men, also by "props." Ryan and Loe, a natty boy and a still nattier girl, had tho house going from tho start with their way of meeting, getting ac- quainted, flirting, making love, lively ex- change of talk, singing, dancing. The girl wan all there with the cute manner, and chimed li» nicely In comedy and straight dancing, and they finish up with a little snmplo of what they could do In a Texas Tommy way. Coll again often. Ilnyden, Dunbar and Haydcn, two blondes and a brunetto of the mala rathskeller per- suasion, chipped In their hits to general satis- faction. Work with one and two concertinas wns good, also tho piano playing. Cockney parodies on popular songs wont well. The three alternating at piano in some piece was novel. Tho "Row, Row, Bow" finish, was well liked. Props also helped out nicely In this act in a turkey trot. The Musical Lassies showed good forms and class, opening with violins and High- land pipes. Violin duets, saxophone solos fol- lowed each other quickly. Tho brass band Included ono of tho ladles playing a mons- trous horn. In tbo cornet concert at the finish, with the ladles In white, suits, they ?lnycd popular selections. A picture finished ho Khow. Mill.. 41 » RUNS OPPOSITION TO HIMSELF.

"Let me tell you," said he, "how to make your enemies work hard for your interests. Just get up a new specialty or Arab troupe and advertise them strongly against yourself, they will bo booked solid by jour enemies sure. In Europo where I havo several troupes for tbo last ten years, I had to work many schemes nmong the agents and managers to keep my trlbcB working. The funniest part comes when the agents make an offer for my troupe, they always bring In the names of other troupers In opposition, telling mo how willing they arc to work for small terms; this amuses me very much becnuso 1 know tho wise agent la trapped, mv arhemes work like magic; nil I hove to do Is to advertise an old trouno under a new name and send out my scouts to do a llttlo preaching to the agents and managers and the enemies nro captured, "I confess this foot because at present I have no enemies either In Europe or America, my troupes are all working in tho field of prosperity."
