Aavagc, upon arriving home from Europe on tbe Olympic, Oct. 22, when asked what attractions bo had corralled abroad for American Production, held, up one band and remarked, Nothing to say along that line." Mr. Savage cw say, however, that bla nine weeks of observation In Europe had convinced him that the moving pictures arc hurting the so- called legitimate theatrical business In Paris and Berlin. He mentioned tbe fact tbat Oaumont Hippodrome, In Paris, Is doing a wonderful busi- ness with the "movies." This place seats 4,000, and is practically sold out several times a day. "I hardly believe the films are having the same effect on the legitimate show business In London," he said. "Tirre. the music hallo furnish cheap amusement which successfully competes with tbe 'moTles.' But in Berlin and Paris music balls are.scarce, and tbe film shows thrive. All In all. the regular theatrical business Isn't very good In aiy of the European cities." While Uj Paris Mr. Savage completed arrange- ments for the presentation there of "Excuse Me," the Hnpert Hughes farce, which he produced la America. The project, he/says, has aroused an unusual amoint of Interest among Parisian thea- tregoers), because of tbe determination of Sarha Oultry, author, actor and matinee idol, to play the part of the neno porter. Oultry, whose sobriquet la "The Pit of Paris," has never at- tempted a role which seemed so absolutely outside the acope of his talents, and hla efforts to be a stage negro la being awaited by tbe boulevarders with great anticipation. Oultry made the French adaptation of "Excuse Me." Hla wife will play the leading woman's role. Mr. Savage also stated (hat Max Dearly will traduce George Ado's "Buo-Gun" In Paris next -ay. ■ ■ . 4 » » DIVING D_~-H ."ALLS TO DBATH. , While a large audience in Moss _ Brill's Eighty- sixtb Street Theatre were enjoying the antics of a comedian at tbe matinee performance of Oct. 21, Gladys Kelly, one of tbe Six Diving Belles, fell from a diving Board on which she wss re- hearsing la the rear of the stage, and received in- juries from which she died a few hours later.

There apparently does not seem to be any abate- ment in the popularity of the "Mutt and Jen*" attractions under tbe direction of Oua Hill, and It present Indications are any criterion, another record for receipts should go to the credit of this purveyor ot cartoon plays. There are now six companies playing "Mutt and Jeff in Panama," tho latest version of "Bud" Fisher's famous comic creations, and each offering Is attracting capacity audiences, and more thau duplicating tbe success of the Brst season of "Mutt aud Jeff," which was considered phenomenal In the history of the show business.
