Clara Morton returns to vaudeville this Fall, after announcing her "retirement." Lulu Glaser Is appearing In vaudeville In a playlet with music, entitled "First Love.' Lincoln Beacht made his vaudeville debut June 80, at the Palaoe Music Hall In Chicago. , Grace Cameron Is booked for the Jones, Llnlck A Schaefecttae, opening early next November. "When Women Rule," a skit from Lew Fields' "All Aboard," Is playing the Sullivan & Consldlne circuit __ Donez Halstbad has purchtEed "The Training Camp," a sketch, which gives op- portunity for real prise fighters to appear on the stage. Marie Buchib has Just completed an ex- tensive Southern tour, and Is visiting friends In St. Louis. Azalea Fontaine, formerly of Fontaine and Fisher, and Nellie Bergen, who has - been doing a. single have fomed a partner- ship and nre offering a now act entitled "The Everglades of Florida," which Is highly spoken of. La Petite Duo (Francis and Madeline •Murray) scored the hit of the bill at the Auditorium, In Chicago, Juno 20. when a benefit performance was glv-in for the fund to build and equip a hospital for actors. Marconi Brothers, accordionists, played tbe Grand, In Chicago, June 30-July 2, and scored one of the biggest hits ever registered at that Theatre. The Marconi boys are mas- tirs of that Instrument and make fine music. Jones, Linick * -Schabfer let people into the Colonial during the opening week for a penny each, but Kirs. Caroline Kohl went them one better July 4, when admission to the Majestic, Chicago, was absolutely free to all who asked. Joseph e. Bernard Is In receipt of the manuscript for a new act which he will play next season. It was written by Wlllard Mack, anthor of "Kick In/" and has the title "Wno la She?' Mr. Bernard expects the playlet to be a worthy successor of "The Newly Married Man." The new act will be something on the order of his present offer- ing, with a fine role for 'Mr. Bernard and a good part for his associate player. Joe l'alge Smith will be Mr. Bernard's Eastern ngent for the new art, and James B. Mc- Kowcn will be his Western representative. Menlo E. Moore, a producer of vaudeville acts, can remain silent in four languages. That Is the reason, perhaps, that his ven- tures are alwavB successes. He can listen, he can feel the public pulse far In advance, and he can provide what Is sought In the way of amusement. He is slight In stature but big In brain. He was one of the pioneers In the moving picture business in Indiana. He "poned a "mnvle" there eight years ago, the fifth picture house Id that State. ■ a « » VACATION FOR MRS. FISKE. Harking to tbe call of the wild, Mrs. Flske left on Monday for Big Moose, where, for several weeks, ate will "rough it" to tbe accompaniment of guides, tents and all neces- sary paraphernalia, establishing her own ramp and forgetting nltnost the very exis- tence of the theatre. She will have no new part to study since she is to continue In "The High Road" next season, and so will give herself up completely to nature. Accom- panying her Is her cousin. Emily Stevens, wbo, after a few weeks at Lake Pleasant, Joined her for tbe vacation in the woods. For a short period, later on, HarrlBon Grey Flske will also be a sojourner at the camp. A eli horse team hauling the closed cite, ran away lo parade, running down hill and tbe full length of the main street, which was crowded with people, aatoa and buggies. The driver and bis helper kept them In tbe middle of the street until the cowboys rode alongside grasping them by the bridles. That absolutely no one waa In- jured Is a miracle. Homer Edwards city clerk of Tacoma. has been tbe guest of Messrs. Hutchison and Dwyer, for the past two weeks.

Collier, King snd Leo, ire always tbe same big hit, and Rbodi's new Mcphlstophlean riding number Is certainly a novelty that Is one of the real hits of tbe show. Mile, Lucia Zora's picture graced the pages of a recent Issue of Collier 1 ! Weekly as being the only woman elephant trainer In tbe world, and this distinction Is due her. for the act la up-to- the-minute, and the novelty of seeing a woman working a herd of elephants never falls to elicit rounds of applause. Margeret Reeardo's troupe of lions and Bengal tigers Is also a classy act and goes big everywhere. The Joey section this season Is stronger than ever and Jerry Clayton, Shorty Maynard, English Geo. Brown, Dan Kelly, Jack Albion. Friday Emery, Harry BaySeld, snd our old friend, Ab. Johnson are pntting on some "regular" clown numhers that surely go strong, while Fred Biggs creates a real panic on tbe hippodrome track every day. We enter Canada July 11 and there is a rumor that we play the B. A B. Show day and date at Winnipeg. [G0LLRAR BROS/ SHOWS. Tbe long Sunday run was enjoyed by the tour- ists, bnt waa rather tiresome to the old timers. Jose Mantlcon says "that's good." In his sleep. Wonder what he means by "that?" Marguerite, the lady of Hods. Is re-y much In evidence both In the arena and dressing room. A little louder, please I Ool. Phil. Heeler and Heddo Buck Reyer hate women, of course they do. Possibly everything la even. Jessie Leon's wire set occupies the feature po- sition In front of the grand stand. While Sundsylng in Langdon a boy was drowned In the reservoir. Buck Reyer distinguished him- self by recovering the body, for which be received the highest praise from everybody. Wm. Wallace considers clausing bis name from Wm. to Lose. Earle McLaln, with his sluggers and linen dust- er, not only frightened his dogs, bet made some of the band boys homesick. Mile. Clifford Is one of the leading attractions In our side show, and one well merits the at- tention rite receives. Bowery Zsnton still talks of New York. Lucky Bowery, lie arrlied safely home In Canton, O. The Flying Herberts, who work alone, la one feature act any abow could boast of. They are always working, and booked for many weeks at the close of the season. Avery Stiles' troupe of trained elephants come In for a line reception each day. They are a fast and accurate working bunch. Tom Kehoe (Totmsle Props) has entirely recov- ered from his Injuries received last Winter. Kleppel Bros, are working hard dally Jack doing policeman clown, and Clint flying perch and com- edy acrobats. Al. Berg plays a sew tune on the calliope now. It sounds like—well, never mud—It's a good one, anyhow. continually shipping was, which threatened In a short time to swamp her. The Beoga- less crew refused to work any longer at the pumps. They seemed to be convinced that the Inevitable decrees of fate had decided on their destruction, and retired in a body to tbe forecastle to await their doom, exhibiting all the resignation of Pagan stoics. The cap- tain and olucers coaxed, begged and threat- ened them, to get them back to the pumps, ks the danger waa becoming every moment more imminent; falling la this, they took ropea end and lashed them to a sense of duty, and the storm was weathered without further loss. At Shanghai, Leroy, Barry, Burton, Bar- low and Robinson concluded to give perform- ances, when they were Joined by John Fish- er, an excellent gymnast and dancer, who resided at Shanghai, where he holds a posi- tion as barkeeper In a saloon there. Fisher Is suffering from consumption and has al- ready lost an entire lung. They procured a larga marquee, or tent, lit which they gave thirteen performances, charging one and two dollars admission, the attendance being almost all Europeans. From these waa cleared above expenses $3,500, which was NOTES FROM BOBBINS' SHOW. Business Is Improving and weather conditions more favorable. A little Shetland pony colt was born In Syca- more, la., and Is a lively little thoroughbred. A street car ran Into the arable wagon, Saturday night, at Owogo. N. Y., and smashed tbe wagon, but did not hurt the six horse team. No one waa seriously Inj ured. FISKE TO PRODUCE FOREIGN COMEDY. Harrison Grey Flake announces the pro- duction early In the coming reason of a new comedy, by Ferenc Molnar, which scored a marked success In Vienna as "Der Lelbgard- Ist," a sucess which was duplicated In Berlin as "Der GardeoSlxlcr." Tbe unique features of the play, which tells very humorously a Htory of the domestic relations of a famous actor and his actress wife, and its undoubt- ed success abroad made the competition for the American rights very keen, Mr. Flske finally securing tbecn from Han* Bartscb, who held them direct from the author. Afolnar, who Is the leading playwright of Hungary, is said In the now play to display his dramatic deftness and his clevEmess In dialogue at an even higher pitch than In "The Devil," tie only one of his plays with which American audiences are familiar. In the new comedy one of the principal charac- ters, after that of the actor, la a critic, wbo is "a friend of the family." There la no triangle Involved, bnt the relations of the critic to the family give rise to many most amusing episodes. WARDEN OF EASTERN PENITEN- TIARY, FHILA., DENIES THAT GEORGE MARION IS DYING. Warden Robert McKenty, of the Eastern Tenltentlary, Philadelphia, where George Marlon, the actor, who killed his wife In Wilkes-Barre, Is confined, is authority for the statement that Marlon la not dying, nor .is he anywhere near dying. Mr. McKenty. in a telephone message to The Clipper correspondent requests this paper to deny the statements that are being made from time to time that Marlon Is dying. His condition, he says, is much better at the present (ban at any time since be began his life sentence. Mr. McKenty also says that Marlon is suffering from a tubercular condition of one of his feet and aside from this, appears to be In good health. BASE BALL Polo Grounds NATIONAL LEAGUE With CHICAGO, Jul) 10, 11 With CINCINNATI, Jnly 1», 14, 19, IS Mc The high reputation of this circus Is well known throughout the country, but It Is safe to say that Its exhibitions this season will greatly surpass all former displays. Yankee Robinson's Consolidated Show, wilt start from the West and will travel In Illi- nois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota the en- tire season. During the past Winter the Yan- kee boa devoted nearly his whole time In devising new features for the coming cam- paign, and without doubt will have one of the best shows traveling. His procession will certalndy equal. It not surpass, all others, aa he aanouncea features never before seen In a street parade. His Neptune car, with repre- sentations of Undine and her water nymphs, Is one of the largest vehicles ever seen ou the road. Surmounting this car will be a number of ladles In dazzling apparel, repc- sentlog the Naiad Queen, attended by tho spirits of Darkness, also four amasons dressed In steel armor, representing Spring. Summer. Autumn and Winter. The band chariot will be drawn by thirty-two horses. A feature In the procession will be a dragon phaeton, carved from solid wood, with gold mountings. The procession will be led - 6y the Polyhymnlo, or Mechanical Bund, equally divided between them. Leroy and OTer twelve feet In lenrrh Amnnir th« eni ssisk, T^&SiSm »«%,» tut San Francisco, Cat, but with their usual good luck arrived two days after the steam- er had sslled, and so they were booked for a big month in that place until the China should come to take them oft. The loss of his earnings preyed heavily upon Leroy's mind, and he became careless and took to drinking, and long before the stesmer arrived his money, watch and chain had been disposed of. Leroy and Robinson went aboard the steamer, the former stow- ing himself away, but he was soon discovered and put Into the fixeroom and had to serve In the menial capacity of coal passer the entire voyage, arriving at San Francisco the first week fn January. The Approaching Tenting Season.—Spring time Is with ns once more, and we are re- minded that the circus companies will soon be on the road visiting the towns and vlFsges In every direction, ana astonishing the weak nerves of ye country cousins. During the past Winter the most extensive preparations nave been made by old as well as new man- agers for this season. Notwithstanding the old and experienced managers have predicted a poor season In consequence of the presi- dential excitement, which will commence when the season Is about one-halt advoncd, they have launched out boldly la their ar- rangements, had new and expensive luggage vans built, beautiful chariots for the band, end obtained a more expensive company than heretofore. In addition to the old concerns several new ones will enter the field, and the number that will take the road will be greater than ever before. Generally speaking performers' salaries will be larger. This will be accounted for by tbe fact of the Increased number of shows, and the demand by music ball managers for fymnastlc and acrobatic performers. With at tew exceptions the salaries of riders, male and female, will be about the same as last season. Those gentlemen who go In ad- vance, such as contracting agents snd writers, command a higher salary thsn ever before. There appears to be a scarcity of sober and reliable representatives of these departments, and therefore those who go out obtain a good price. There Is nothing la the way of a show that appears In a country town that attracts such Immense crowds or fives to much real amusement as a circus, or It pleases the children as well as the old folks. There Is no kind of a traveling exhi- bition that employs so many people. In their perambulating excursions through the country, circus men, always and everywhere, seem, as If by common consent, to be legiti- mate prey for all with whom they have dealings. Kveryone tries to beat them. Tbe 'ostler In the stable where the "stock" Is to be kept works for days previous to tho ar- rival of the show to see bow he can make his four-quart measure smaller so as to defraud In dealing out the oats.

Van Amburgh & Co.'s Great Golden Me- nagerie.—The conflagration of Bsrnum's Mu- seum, by which so many valuable animals were destroyed, has not at all dampened the ardor of the proprietors, and they put on (he road this season an entlro new and first class exhtbtlon. The wagons, chariots, vans and dens are all entirely new, and are de- signed and finished In the highest style of art. Bmblngoncd on the panels of each are splendid Illustrations from the Holy Bible, after designs from the French artist, Gus- tav Dore, enframed In magnificent carved mouldings and plate looking-glass. The "Great Golden Bond Chariot" Is a chef d'oeuvro of artist and artisan, and the "Golden Car of Egypt" with the living Af- rican lion on Its summit will be one of the attractive features of the exhibition. Tbe war elephant, "Tlppoo Halb;" the perform- ing elephant, "Jenny Llnd;" the Tom Thumb elephant "Hannibal Jr.:" the giraffe, eland, white sebra and the salamander bear, "Fire Imp," rescued alive, from the ruin. of the museum, will be among tbe prominent specialties.

Thus Is the showman swindled by hypocritical town officials and town loungers. All in spite, envy and narrow mlndedness has its origin In the general be- lief that there are no expenses attending public exhibition. Msny a time have we seen some of the roughs of the town set boys to cutting hole* In the canvas to peep through, and do other mean nets, and whenever this violence Is re- sisted successfully, as It invariably Is, by a "clemming" match, resulting In giving the ringleaders a sound tbrashlng, a great hue and cry Is set up, snd either tbe show boja are arrested or on attempt made to burn the canvas, as we have seen the latter done three different times.
