Froh- man, Joseph Hart Is presenting at Proctor's Fifth Avenue this - week, Minnie Dupre. In Ethel Barrymore's successful one act piece, "Carrots." Miss Dupre will continue in- definitely in the charming playlet, the action of which demands that she assume the role of a boy. Dollx Connollt. recently with Lew Fields' "All Aboard" company, and Percy Wenrlch. the prolific song composer, are also on Gus McCune's Fifth Avenue bill this week, while another feature of the program Is "Just Half Way," undoubtedly one of the best sketches In vaudeville, and made so by the clever way In which Allen Oinehart and Ann Heritage offer it Maris Fanchonetti. assisted by Murray Harris and a choicely picked naif dozen ex- traordinarily pretty girls, presented one of the best big singing and dancing acts that has been seen on the Proctor small time In many moons at the Twenty-third Street house, last week.

Just a line to reiterate.—that Harry Kelley and Lee Harrison presented their "new combination" thing at Keith's Union Square week before last, and not at Proc- tor's Twenty-third ' Street.

Rut, anyhow, Sylvia (repeat) "did so well" that she was re-engaged this season to All the lisping Job of Madge Blake with "When Love Is Young," which opened an Indefinite en- gagement at the Cort Theatre, in Chicago, Oct. 28, and In which John Hyams and Leila Mclntyre are being featured. Naomi Wheeler, of "Harvey Maxwell and the Wheeler Sisters," In their second season with Billy Allen's Musical Comedy Co., re- lates that she is the only little girlie with tbe Allen troupe who is without a hubby or sweetheart. Billy seems to be the regular Ave cent cigar, a certain Sunday patron at Proctor's Fifth Avenue. Exchange same for a debenture with Frank McCune. Wilaiau p. Becque, who, besides being operator of tbe machine In Proctor's Twenty- third Street Theatre, la rapidly establish- ing himself in the "world of motion pic- tures" as a youthful magnate, in collabora- tion with J. Callahan, had a "picture show" over at Park Ridge. N. J., last Wednesday evening, Oct 29, that would do credit to many a theatre nearer to "the" city than that "nook" of P. R. Besides a seven-reel feature. "The Trapper's •Mistake," they liad Billy Wilton along to warble two songs, and the results were Very gratifying In New City also, where the "Becque k Callahan Show" repeated, on Friday night, 31. En- couraged with the patronage Park Ridge folk have tendered bis feature picture exhibitions of late, Mr. Becqtre will give 'em a real amateur show Wednesday evening, Nov. 5, and If every little Cling proves It a profitable venture, these young picture boosters will continue Increasing their attractions for the enjoyment of Jersey folk, and financial plea- santness of themselves. A line from Helen Veola Esmeralda In- forms me that I "married" her partner Edna to the wrong feller In this column, last week. Edna signed tie "big contract" with Harry L. Davison on Oct 10, not "Harrison." as my bean whirled into. And Edna and Veola are rehearsing that new song and dance trio act with Harry Fault, sot Poley (curses). Tlie girls will continue to be heralded as the Esmeralda Sisters. Earl Fltnn and Nettib McLorjaiiLts, "The American Dancers," are at present causing riots and shocking tbe dear, queer souls over in Australia. Their "Dance of Youth," with its frantic movements nnd wild flashes, caused one of those "riots" at tbe Tlvoll, in Sydney, night of Sept. 20, while their newest, the "Pago-Pago," was stopped by the police twice during the week they played In Melbourne Earl and Nettie had to eliminate some of the contortions In order to continue collecting the stipends at each week's end, but the riots seem to continue and the couple are not doing so poorly even now. Bert Sullivan, recently of the Four Sul- livan Bros.' act in vaudeville, has dissolved partnership with that act and it will in future be known as tbe Sullivan Bros. Trio. Van Hovbn, "The Dippy Mad Magician," opened at tbe Orpbeum, Harrlsbnrg, Pa., last week, on a tour of thirty-three weeks over the United time.
