Outside ot that Arthur's alright. THEATSE3 may come and theatres may go, but Just because tie Colonial, up In Peeks- kill, N. Y., got busy and burned down, Dec. 1, didn't mean that it's treasurer, Phil. Gur- vlch. would be idle long. Inside of twenty- four hours Phil, snatched the assistant man- ager Job of LoeWs Broadway Theatre, in the city here. Considerably proficient to, old top. Chabley ("Bid") Doow, manager ©f PMlly's National League Team, and James McCool are other hosts np at Qua MoCune's house this week, presenting a song sketch, entitled "Baseball in Ireland." Rat Doolst and her brother, Orahnm, "A Co." are presenting a corking good bur- lesque cabaret act on the Loew time these days. Ray was "born" a barefoot dancer, while that "kid" brother of hers ls a real 'rlglnal nut comedian. Carrie Lime, comfortably recovered from a recent spell of more trouble with ttwsp vocal chords ot hers, accompanied by her ma, had a swell time seeing most everything but the moon rome up on their boat trip to Bangor, Me., where she again opened (but this tune her engagement) Dec. 1. Never sgaln on a boat, swears Carrie. The Princess Cafe and Restaurant, on Broadway, between Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth Streets, has one of the classiest cabaret crews that you'd want to sit and get "skied" listening to, and since Jack Griffin grabbed up the steering wheel as the ca- pable little cabaret manager, things are ''bopping" (I'll wait for you) at a great clip "downstairs." Billy Ballard ls featuring "Flower Garden Ball," and Jack Griffin ls using "Ragtime Bungalow" and "Automo- bile" to advantage. Then there's Anna Jar- vis doln' heaps with "Wbaddyer Mean Yer Lost Your Dog?' Anna Sweet properly easing over "I'm Afraid I'm Beginning to Love You," while Doris Ritter ls getting- every little gem out of "My Hidden Treasure. And besides, these same three girlies are cream assistance to Jack Reseno In making "That Little German Band" one of the main bouts of the "show." Along with AL Lentz's "At That Midnight Masquerade" number. Jack Teresa Is at the piano, Frank Dup.il, banjo; William Peterlo, violin, and Jack Dobbs ls drummer, while the Princess Itself Is under the proprietorship of Arthur Sher- man. "Tbb Gbat or Dawn" nisi been seen by many of us, but this particular gray one It In the form ot an underworld playlet that Is being presented (for Its first tune la New York) at Proctor's Fifth Avenue, this week, the leading roles being essayed by Maud Halt Macy and David Biggin*. Maicis Loan's new theatre to Toronto, Can., will open Monday. Dec. IB. Geo. Daunt LUbt and his clever company, presenting that very clever dramatic sketch, 'The Pardon," took first honor* tt the Har- ris, In Pittsburgh, last week, "Tun Both amd Oibls or Annua B." to a tabloid musical offering, were alio well re- ceived in Pittsburgh, by Shoridan Square au-s dtencea, Queenle. ono of the prettiest ot the girls, la adding new friends as usual. Tub Basins Tboupb ot wire walkers will •Ul for Berlin about the middle of Decem- ber, where they have extenlre bookings. PHBMia Locxuabt Is rehearsing to town with a new "throe act," Fbaxk Couett Is still warbling delight- fully at the College Inn, up at St Nicholas Avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street Some regular warbler la Frank. Paul Quinn and Job Miicheix, the well known fellers to vaudeville as Quinn and Mitchell, and their "Lemon City" sketch, are soon to be seen In a new act called "The Gold Mine." Instead of selling real estate. as to "Lemon City," the promoter In the new act will sell gold mines. It was their In- tention to put on this new act upon their return from abroad several month* ago, but there was an Insistent demand for toe old one, and they were Induced to accept several weeks before trying out the new Tebicle. The sketch I* said to be replete with wit and satire, and no team knows better how to get the stuff over than Qulnn and Mitchell. Philadelphia was selected for rehearsals, and the act was given a quiet "try-out" In Dick Zimmerman theatre In Berwyn. recently, where it ls said to have scored a tremendous hit Sort of wiping "Lemon City" off the map, so to converse. Matthews ano Furman are working ail old act into a new way, and the reports were flattering. Hark en I Carl t. Jackson, recently with the Or- pheum Players, la Reading, Pa., wishes to contradict the statement that ho la appearing to vaudeville ha a sketch, entitled "The Keener." Carl writes that be and the "Mrs." closed with the Orpheum Flayers after fifteen successful weeks, and rejoined Roland West's "Trapping Santa Claus" act, now playing the Loew time. The cast includes; Caddie Car- roll. Evelyn La Telle and Llndee besides Carl. Wit. F. Becquxc's photoplay shows con- tinue to be the main little asset of amuse- ment of the folk over to Forester's Hall, New City, N. Y. every Friday evening. Billy believes In the "penny a pound print" and Is doing a "lofty" business right along. Billx Cbbbt, superintendent of Miner's People's Theatre, showed a bit of his class to the decorations that adorned 'hat house last week, which was "Home Week," as Miner's Big Frolic was the big show. Adelaide Ebtes Is presenting ber new comedy song surprise act at Moss A Brill's Hamilton Theatre Dec. 8-10. Adelaide now has a splendid basso working with her In this act to Edward Beck, who was with "Naughty Marietta" last season. Elinors Winn and Indian Csinr, a mag- nificent dove-white horse, looked beautiful at Proctor's Twenty-third Street Theatre, and Indian Chief and Ellnore have all the brand of a "big time" act. Doc. F. H. Nutritious O'Neil evidently got leary of the heat down Louisiana way, Cor he's up to Syracuse this week, red tie and all. a i Chat. H. Paes appy la The Roto That Made Me Sad.")
