Chi- cago Is a very young city, ladles and gents. Fifty years ago this densely populated quart- er was virgin prairie. All the dirt you seo about you has accumulated In that short time. The oldest thing about Chicago Is Its street cars. You will notice they are crowd- ed with men and women, all trying to get home at the same time. Formerly the cars stopped at every street crossing, but now they stop whenever they break, which la oftener and more convenient. On your right Is the Art Institute , Chicago keeps all its art in this one ftulldlng. We are now pass- ing beneath the celebrated Loop. All ele- vated trains In tho city pass around this Loop, bat since they invented the through route, nobody has even been able to tell which way they pass and why.

This week's bill contained several popular entertainers. ■ ■»■-■■ Buckley's animals, In the first position, proved to be more fun and amusement than a number of the humans who followed. Teddy, the roller skating bear, and several email monkeys cavorted around to the huge delight of Juveniles and adults alike. Their antics, which showed marks of being de- cidedly well trained, made the act one of the best in Its line. Deylne and Williams, who lave appeared in Chicago before, returned to the Palace, where they appeared in second position with a rapid-fire Mauser dialogue. Their personal appearance is very simple, they occupy only the, front stage, neither can sing, bat their Jokes and burlesquing tide them over with a fair amount of approval, „ Mr s i.» A bert Gallatin Wheeler (Claudia Calstedt) 1b programmed as making her am American appearance since her success in London. There is nothing about this lady which will make her even approach a riot in American vaudeville. Her voice Is far froai exceptional, her personality nearly chilly, and her manner of singing distinctly lacking In Individuality. Her gowns are beautiful. She was poorly applauded. Amelia Stone and Armand Knllsx have changed their act entirely since last they were here. "Mon Desire" Is the name of the liew story, which contains new songs written by Mr. Kallsz himself. Charles Clear and Joseph Milton are successfully added to the cast. Miss Stone Is as charmingly graceful and full of smiles as ever, and Mr. Kallsz also has his admirers. The act runs very long, but Is sparkling at all times, and very likable throughout. TThey wer very heartily encored and applauded. A mouth organ virtuoso nowadays is scarcely expected to thrill. George Schlndlcr did well, and his three numbers on this in- strument are enough to constitute a big time act. Blossom Seeley Impresses us favorably, B . 8 . u . sua jA ln tne farcical musical skit, en- titled "The Suffragette Pitcher," which she and her husband, the world's famous twlrler, ere presenting. The act itself Is poorly con- structed and woven together, although Blos- som still sings ln her fetching way and Rune creates a lot of fun with bis attempts at singing and dancing, to say nothing of acting. The applause was plentiful. Unchallenged exponents of society dan- ring, Mir. and Mrs. Castle, executed their CiiHtlo walk and numerous other concoc- tions of Terpsichore for the second week at the Palace Music Hall. They are peerless leaders ln the new craze of dancing, which la setting both Europe and America to gos- siping and apelng, A prettier display of frace and charm might not be asked for nan the manner In which these two dlsplny their talent. They are big drawing cards, excellent entertainers, and a fine, clean act for any bill. The Three Alex, European novelty equilib- rists, ended the program admirably. a call Friday. Nov. 28. and. ln spite of tho fact that he had enjoyed the hospitality of Chicago friends at a big Thanksgiving din- ner given in bis honor, ho showed no ill effects from the gastronomic exertion. Speaking of the past season with the doll- mar Bros/ Circus Mr. Mauser said: "Well. Joe, everybody ln the business knows that the Gollmar Bros, are Just about tbe finest folks that ever projected -a tented amuse- ment enterprise, and I don't mind going on lecord ln saying to you that there never was a happier family of showmen identified with any traveling organisation than thnt which helped to make tbe season of 1013 the most successful lu the history of the Gollmar Bros.' enterprise, it's a delightful thing to have a spirit of harmony existing In all de- partments with the circus. I believe that the success of tho great shows of America has been due to harmonious service perhaps more than to anything else ln the conduct of the business. Talent means much, but where there Is friction results are lacking. I be- lieve that every little bit helps, and that we Should all help each other, and tbls applies particularly to folks on a circus lot. The fact that the Oollmar Bros, are welcomed, In fact, are invited to play return dates in all the territory they have covered daring the past years Is a striking evidence of the fnrt that everything bas been done by them and their employees to please the public" .Mr. Hsuser Is one of those whole smiled fellows who radiates sunsblne wherever he goea He enjoys a world of friends, and rightly bo. Just what he's going to do next season he declined to say, but it would not bo surprising to me if be were back with the Gollmar Bros., who hold him In high esteem.

M.S'tf '°" : B e *ng well aware of the fact "•at the circus season of 1018 Is about over, with one or two exceptions, I would like to call your attention to one point In which nearly aUi the circus press agents and car- nival agents and others aro Inclined to be grossly negligent That is the keeping of ine circus-loving public posted through the circus and carnival route columns of Tub i.urrr.a and other amusement publications sa to their official route at least ten days {bead of the show. Knowing also that be- xore the circus season for 1014 starts that nearly all of tho prominent circus and car- nival dignitaries will And their way to tbo Western office of Tub Old Rbliadlb, It would please me, as well as the thousands of friends of the circus fraternity traveling with the shows, if you would call their at- tention to the Importance of keeping Tna Clm'I'ek advised as to their whereabouts from week to week. It will cost them only one cent for a, postal card, and Tun Clipper will publish the route so near the'dato of exhibition that the opposition shows will get no benefit from it. It is, I know, difficult for some of tbe carnival companies to know two or three weeks ahead Just where they will piny, but tbe circuses, no matter If they are wlla-cattlng, know where they arc golne, and It does not take n route card long to reach your New York office. From my own experience ln three Instances during the past season Wild West shows and small circuses have been witbln a few min- utes ride from me, and their official route not appearing in Tun Clipper and other dra- matic papers, I have had no opportunity to take them In nnd tell tho army of Clipper renders something about tbe merits of tbelr attractions. It Is rather humiliating to me to have people meet me on tbe street and any such and such a show was at such and such a place, and I have no knowledge of It. Now, Joe, your long experience In tne circus business has taught you the value of the route card, and I know you will do all you can to tee that during tbe coming .-lrcus season that all the traveling tent shows send The Clipper their route from week to week. It, as you well know, coats them noth- ing, and why they do not do so Is beyond my comprehension—It Ib Just simply gross care- lessness. Joe, my experience has taught mo to be- lieve that one of tbe reasons for the success or the Miller Brothers' 101 Ranch Wild West Show Is the fact that from your good friend, George Arlington, down to the humblest stake driver, tbey are all a good bunch of fellows. The Miller boys as well as Mr. Ar- lington have a way of extending tbe glad hand to a fellow that makes him at once feel at home. Mr. Arlington has an especial good way of handling the public, having watched him on the door on several occa- sions, making such a good Impression thnt Eddie Arlington has no difficulty in always arranging for a return date, and in many cases I Know Eddie receives Invitations to return. Eddie has proved his generalship ln tbe routing of the 101 Ranch Into territory not visited by the other good shows, keeping out of the way of the other "big ones," nnd this Is one of the reasons for Ills suc- cess. In my opinion. I have had personal reports from people who have visited the 101 Ranch during the time Mr. Arlington has routed It. and I have as yet not received a complaint ai to any mis-treatment of the rmullc. and they always leave a town with sueli a good taste that they are always wel- come and urged to come back again. Some of the other shows cannot nay so much. W. A. At&iks. OPT OF TOWN NEWS Louisville, Ky.—Mscaoley's (John T. Ms- canley, mgr.)
