It baa traditions that are historical, and It baa,all along mloyed tbe somewhat unique distinc- tion of bearing the stamp of permanency. For though artists come and go, a number of tbe people connected with the business side of tie Empire are landmarks In the Golden City. 3£any of the staff bare been connected with tbe Empire sine? its opening, and many of tbe audience at Thursday night'* enter- tainment were present at tie opening of tbe Old Empire, on Dee. 1, 1894. Moreover, ever since that date tbe London office bas been under the control of 8. 11. Hyman.

In conversation with a Bundag Poet repre- sentative, air. Hj-man expressed the view that tbe general forward movement of variety In this country during tbe last elgbteen years had been something; wonderful. "When we first opened In 1801," he said, "we used to bring out companies costing leas than half of what they do now. If we paid £50 a week for a 'star' it was thought a lot of money, while a £100 'star' was something to talk about. Now It often occurs that a 'star' gets from £600 to £600 a week. Where- as our expenses In ronnioK & music hall in those days were about £600, they are now about £1,100, a week. The cost of the com- pany, including transportation of artists, was In those days about £3S0 to £400 a week. It now runs to anything from £600 to £000. , "Among the most popular artists and acts ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

All previous triumph records established in tbe music publishing business have been broken by the marvelous burst of speed with Which tbe Maurice Abrahams Music Company came to tbe front. Al. Woblman and Mau- rice Abrahams have long been recognised as the foremost song-boosting team In tbe Bast, but when the boys went Into business on their "own hook" they found time to conduct tlie professional rush of business at their offices, 1570 Broadway all through the day, and to popularise their numbers all through tbe night. Maurice Abrahams is the chief composer of the new firm and, over a back- ground of aucb bits as "Hltcby Koo," writ- ten for other catalogues, bas prepared tbe phenomenal "The Pullman Porters On Pa- rade" and "Oh, You Million Dollar Doll" for his own. The popularity of Maurice Abra- hams, president, and Al. Woblman, vice aioent, baa met ltt greatest test suceesB' varying success. e)s» HELEN VIOLETTE AND LENA PINARD JOIN HANDS. "Court By Girls" is a clover act, but the first slant one takes upon tbat female Jury room centres on a chic little blonde who makes a heap of the District Attorney role. That clever little real blonde is none other than Helen Vlolette, who has made Rood In big other two-a-day big acts before. Miss Vlolette possesses the realcst sort of an idea •s to how any role she is allotted should be acted, and, with her charming personality and pretty face, she adds materially towards snaking a song go over a-Helen. Well, Helen Is going to slip away from "Court By Girls" this week, and, along with the nimble-limbed Lena Plnard, who bas been effectively portraying tbe role of the Witness for tbe Defense in tbe same act, will be seen down at Brighton Beach week beginning June SO, In a "regular" slater singing and dancing act The girls possess the necessary ability to give ua something almost sensa- tional, so keep your peepers peeled next week. «■> JAMESTOWN'S NEW THEATRE. Tetcrson A Wood, who operate several moving picture houses in Jamestown, N. Y., nave purchased a plot of ground on Main Street, la that city, 75x1 UO feet, and plana •re being drawn by Frccburg & Fiddler, tor a handsome new theatre building. The seating capacity of tho new house will be fourteen hundred, with a tingle balcony and four boxes on each side of the stage. The play- house will have the largest stage in the city. No statement of policy bos yet been an- nounced. The building of this house will give James- town, a city of thirty thousand population, three theatres, besides half a doicn picture nouses. It Is expected to bo completed by November. l i » HOSAR FAMILY AT HOME. The Rosar Family recently closed a long and pleasant season with tbo Billy Allen Mu- sical Comedy Co., and are now resting at their Sumner cottage at Tottenvllle, Staten Island, N. t. Eileen Rosar was sb charming as she was successful in the leading feminine roles of tbe Allen productions, and was favored with many worthy press notices for her work and beautiful gowns in every city the show played, while Baby Mildred, the smallest bit of talent in the Rosar family, gave evidence of a great future as a dancer. Babe will be properly seasoned to lead any sort of a num- ber next season, and her work will be Watched With interest by all those who know What possibilities are wrapped up In this "little bunch of sweetness." The ftwtty'a musical specialty waa one ot the feature! ot the Allen organisation every- where, and Little Mildred will also be In- cluded In thia next season. As royal and Jolly a family as tbe show business can boast of, is how they are known, and Tottenvllle may well be proud ot them. «Ji» THE NEW HOUSE IN BOSTON. Al. Fostelle write*.

B., Can., last week Inspecting the new Imperial Theatre, King Square, being erected for tbe St. John Amusements, Ltd., the name of tbe Keith Interests In that city. Mr. Wcstover. who designed tbe new play- house, was highly pleased with the quality of work being put on tbe Imperial. When completed the new bouse" will seat more than 1.800 people. Tbe balcony will seat about 878, being divided In two distinct sections. It will be a ground floor house, with large entrance and four wide exits on the street level, as well as four exits up- stairs, Tho Theatre will be thoroughly fireproof, the construction being concrete, masonry and Iron. Throughout the building the lathing Is of wire and bearing structure masonry and iron. The electrical wiring Is thorough- ly encased In iron piping even to telephones. And the stage lighting facilities are abreast of the most modern appliances in metropoli- tan theatres. Altogether the lighting will >ujand lamps, interior an terlor. Artistically, the Imperial Is going to be very fine. Tbe exterior, with its cream brick, cream terra cotta trimmings, English plate glass, mahogany doors, polished granite steps, flagstone sidewalks, etc., will be very attractive, The lobby will be solid marble, the vestibule finely finished and fitted with glass noiseless and draughtproof doors. Tbe auditorium la to be finished in a general scheme ot old rose and Ivory, with touches of gold. Draperies of velvet and silk will probably be In pale green. Brass will be used lavishly In railing the balcony, boxes and leaning rails. Electrical fixtures will be in antique brass with frosted bulbs—candle- stick fashion—on tbe walls.

Atlantic City is to be well«supplied with motion picture theatres, when the number ot structures devoted to this class of entertain- ment, now in course ot erection, are com- pleted. There Is shortly to be announced the opening of the Liberty, on Atlantic Avenue, near Connecticut, ana the theatre now in course of erection, at Atlantic and Ohio Avenues, will, In all probability, be ready for occupancy on Aug. 1. In addition to these, the'openlng of the Co- lonial house ot vaudeville and pictures, on Atlantic Avenue below.New York, will un- doubtedly be ready for an audience by July 1. And recently the Windsor Alrdome, on the Boardwalk, bas begun the showing ot big fea- ture views, while tt la not long since tbe Arcadia opened Its doors and the Sea Shell again began business after many months' relapse, nor is It many weeks ago that a big fireproof house tor colored people started business on Arctic Avenue near Kentucky. And for the future we have still to hear from the recently leased theatre on the old pier. Work oa the new Nixon Theatre, diagonal- ly opposite the pier at the foot of St. Charles Place, is being rushed rapidly to completion, and that great structure will soon be ready for tbe premier performance. It is one ot tho handsomest structures of Its kind In the country, and its promoters are being highly praised. The Three White Rutins are at Jack son'a Cafe. . The Padettes, of Boston, are at the At- lantic City Exposition. The first children's carnival was held In the ballroom of the Steel Pier Thursday night. Professor Frlcke has had many new dances in preparation, and to-night's carnival bids fair to outdo any prevloue child's event held In the pier. < i > STANLEY HICKS DIVORCED. Stanley P.

On the dark landing that ended a broken staircase stood a email, delicate youth, who spoke unmistakably from Scotland. .••••' "My name is Barrle. I am tbe new leader writer." He proceeded to explain that he was "a-awfully tired" after the long Journey from Edinburgh. He had taken tbe precau- tion of writing a leading article in the train for next day's paper, which he hoped would satisfy the occasion. And he would like to go home to bed. The 'cadlng article was written In pencil, on both eldes of the two fly-leaves, yellow glased, of a pockel edition of Horace, there and then torn out. The wrltlnr was minute, and most legible, ap- parently. I received the visitor with the dignity be- coming a youngster of twenty, appointed but a few hours earlier to tbe position of sub- editor-ln-charge of The Sottingl.am Daily Journal, then proudly tbe oldest provincial daily paper. I had lied a tittle about my age. I bad mastered up courage to ask two pounds a week. The senior proprietor said: ''H'm! Yesl We pay monthly. That will be eight pounds a month." I learned in due course, that Barrle bad naked three pounds a week, which had been accepted with "H'm I Yea t That will be twelve pounds a month." Barrle was a spendthrift In generosity. But he never Xorgave this Ingenious) reduc- tion of a sugaKed three pounds per week to an actual two pounds fifteen snd four- pence per week. The proprietors of the Nottingham Daily Journal were extremely rich, and grimly watched their paper die without making any effort to save it. Hy own instructions had been to assume my position and responsibility at four o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Tbe key of the vast building, containing thousands of pounds' worth of machinery, was left for me, under the front door mat I In undisturbed solitude I got together a paper, on which the com- posing staff set to work at eight At a quarter to eight the foreman printer.

I pretty well run this place. I've been here, man and boy, thirty-nine years; and I've seen thirty-seven young fel- lows In tbat chair." He was as good as his word. He had two names for copy. There was "nooB," to which he attached importance ac- cording to Its local application. To be sure, he could cite Macaulay for a precedent. And there was literary matter which he called "tripe." Barrie's work was acutely literary, and suffered always. He, a sensitive creature, endured agony. Our autocrat had a soft place, but Barrle refused to negotiate tt. For myself, I once procured tbe Insertion of an Important speech on Protection by Henry Chaplin, by making It the Introduction to the Mansfield Flower Show. So It be- came "preference copy 1" Barrie's contract for "say, twelve pounds a month," was to supply two columns of literary matter per day. One column was to consist ot a leading article, as to wblcb gen- eral but never particular Instructions were given In an eight-page, Illegible letter to the writer. Barrle often remarked that he bad managed to decipher everything bnt the re- ligion of the senior proprietor. . One day he told me he had arrived at a conclusion on that point. A splendidly gen- erous act ot the worthy man bad supplied a kev to the cipher! Barrle wrote Ave leaders a week; a weekly column of gossipy notes signed "Hlppo- menes;' a weekly essay—many of these were reprinted In "My Lady Nicotine," having In their original state been Infinitely beyond the vision of the average reader of The Notting- ham Journal —and book reviews, carefully measured with a tape, to 811 up twelve col- umns per week. The Saturday leader was for years written by a local accountant, of Immense erudition and aniaxlng views. Here la a characteristic opening of an article: "God moves ('tis said) In a mysterious way, but the Nottingham Waterworks Compan y ." Uarrte used to fling the B&turdey paper from him with disgust. Barrle In those early days had en Intense consciousness of his Importance. It was not vanity. He hated his eurrouncT'jigs, and al- ways knew his superiority.
