ABOUT "MUD READING. 0 During an Interesting Impromptu Inter-flew with Harry Rouclere, in which toe conver- sation drafted to the systems ot mind read- ing now employed by "wonders" of the pres- ent day, Harry Rouclere who. with Mrs. Rouclere (Mildred) has been at the game of thought transmission for twenty years, gave some Interesting facts concerning his experience In parlor and stage entertain- ments. . . Clearly with the Rouclores "every little movement has a: meaning." It Is unneces- sary for them In their own domestic life to resort to aup ■ ordinary conversation as thought transmission Is second nature to them. ' ' When flurry wonts n certain Sunday din- ner ho merely projects the thought, and on Sunday the dinner Is there. When be Is to play a date he Imparts the Information te the Mrs. by the same system, and. In fact, their entire routine Is governed by this* elaborate system of signals, and signals there nre, as Mr. Rouclere Is frank In saving that there Is nothing In the theory of thought waves. After a year's lay-off. Mildred re- turns to the stage and performed tbo act without one error. Rouclere Is modest In saving that there Is not one system In tnlnil- readlng that he Is not an expert In. To demonstrate, he requested the writer to mark down a figure on a newspaper and, standing quite a distance from him, Imme- diately told him the right number. Whether by the slight sound or by the almost. Im- perceptible movement of the pencil remains a mystery, but he did It ■ He recently Invited a party In the Putnam Ilulldlng to.select a card from a new deck and then requested that they call up Mrs. Rouclere at Oath Beach by phone. She told them the cards selected correctly before they could ask.her the question. ■ Tho "novelty," Mr. Rouclere says, of call- ing for songs, for different persons In cos- tume, for different authors, composers, celeb- rities, the reading of lines from books, etc., are merely variations of the systems now employed by the modern mystery folks. Furthermore. Mr. Rouclere in railing for these readings bv Mildred, does not have to address her at all. The "wondcMul" part of these actB Is the mental training and universal knowledge that has to be acquired and retained by both, parties to the demon- stration. At a - private.party given by Mrs. Run- Mint Pish the hostess requested Mr. Rou- clere to have Mildred select a certain' book from her extensive library, and Mildred, who had not set foot in tho building before that time, went to the book shelves with closed eyes and brought out the proper volume. A Morse telegraph operator remembers a limited number of slgnnls and their meaning, V1I1IU a versatile mind reader Ins to be versed In almost Innumerable signals and their Interpretations. There has not been n book on the subject of mind reading published within the last twelve years In which the wonderful demon- strations given liy the Roucleres are not eet forth. _____ ATLANTIC CITY NOTES. The Folles opened May 20. with a gorgeous production, a One cast of. principals and a lively chorus.' About forty numbers had to be cut out to finish the show the same even- ing. Leon Prrol and Rert Williams have several funny encounters. Arthur Deegon, ML W'ynn. J. Bernard Dyllyn and George AtcKny, also Vera MIcheletM, Horno and Wright nre telling factors.

Nowadays a little Jaunt across the pond Is a regular routine In the life of any regular performer, and they think no more of It than of a trip to Kalrhaven, N. J. Among those who shook a "day-day" to the II. 8. from the deckB of the Olympic on May 30 were: Marie Lloyd, who will return next season for the TJ. B. O.; Mrs. Lefty Flvnn, Nate Sningold, Mme. Frauces (Mrs. Spin- gold), Ilert Kclbclmann. Louise Alexander, acred Mace, Bernard Dillon (not Dvllyn), Mike Simons, who will return to Join tho Sclwyns: Rnc Selwyn.

She Is a gradu- ate of the Conservatory of Music. Paris, and a linguist of unusual ability. She met Mr. Mulr at a private reception while making a tour of the United States. After the ceremony the bridal party left for Atlantic City, by automobile, where they will spend their honeymoon, returning to Fair Haven for the Summer, SHAPIRO, BERNSTEIN'S NEW QUARTERS. The new offices of the Sbapiro-Bernfteln & Co., on Forty-seventh Street, Just off of Broadway, will no ready for occupany about June 15. Louis Bernstein has spared little expease In fitting up the new place, and when It Is complete will have one of the best music establishments in the world. Every known comfort has been Installed for the use of professionals, who will find the same wel- come In the new place as was given In the old quarters. HIS BEST ENDEAVOR. Cbarles K. Harris. America's leading bal- lad writer. Is hard at work on his new song, entitled "When Did You Write to Mother Last?" and expects It to be the biggest seller be ever published. Ballad singers are falling over themselves putting the new ballad on. NOTICE. Jos. W. Stern 4 Co. write me as follows: "Kindly make mention of the fart that Abe Kasak Is no longer connected with our house In any capacity. COLLINS* BUSY WEEK. ' Harry Collins, New York manager for Joe Daly, of Boston, Is doing some wonderfnl Work for his firm In this burg. His songs were represented In two-thlrdB of the the- atres and cabarets last week. VEST NOf ALL RIGHT. That's the title of Jack Caddlgaa and Jlmmle Brcnnan's new novelty song that O. K Story, of Boston. Is cleaning up with. Fbnrv's Trio, Smith, Boudreau. and that wonderful little tenor, Billy Coty, started (be number on Its way last week, and cer- tainly made a hit that went over for the whole four bags. The song is one of those openers that gets you at the start and hold.* you till the finish. You have got to hand It to this house, from the boss down - they're Butting a new one over every full moon, rennan's thinking of baying an automo- bole. and with his royalty, too; Caddigan Just bought a new power boat on "The Rose of the Mountain Trail," and calls the boat "Rose of the Mountain Trail." J. PRED HELF REFUSES TO BE COUNTED OUT. In last week's issue we announced the re- tirement of J. Fred Helf from the music game. It now comes to pass that Fred la still la the game stronger than ever, and, as he puts It, ''next season I will have several songs that chould prove tbo biggest successes I have ever had." Ills offices are still on Forty-fifth Street, where he Is always ready to welcome old friends and make new ones. STERN'S DANCE NUMBERS. . Tho "Castle" dance numbers, all of which are controlled by Jos, W. Stern A Co., cer- tainly received a wonderful boost and In- valuable publicity during the recent tour of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle. "The C'aetlo Walk." "Castlo Trot," "Castle Maxlxe," "Cnstle Walts," "Castle Classic Walts," "Castle Tango" arc . some of the "Stern" hits which were ployed by Europe's Society Orchestra, which accompanied .the dancers on their tour. Musical directors throughout the country are unanimous in proclaiming these numbers as the best array of Instru- mental successes ever put on by any one publisher. VINCENT EXPECTS BIO DOINGS. Nat Vincent, one of the hardest pluggers In the game, Li looking forward to one of the most strenuous seasons he has ever had. The burlesque game is Nat's hobby, and although there will be some hundred and ten shows In tho different wheels, he expects to have the Broadway Music Co.'s songs with each show. Ho Is surely some world touring kid. Watch him next season. JACK VON TILZBR'S SWELL NUMBER. Jack Von TUzer, who Is president of the Empire Music Company, has a new song that, with the proper handling, should be quite a clean up for him. The song is en- titled "An Old Fashion Girl," and is going big with many headlincrs. CARROLL'S NEW NUMBER. "Tho Beautiful Sen," Harry Carroll's lat- est Summer song, has taken hold like a vise. It is being sung In every cabaret show and vaudeville bouse In town, and the reports have it that It Is tbo same thing In each city. It looks like another clean-up for Shapiro, Bernstein *t Co. BRIGHT FOR NEW YORKf It Is rumored that Frank Bright, who Is in charge of tbe Broadway Music Co.'s Chi- cago office, will return to New York shortly, and his place taken by Maurice Better who recently resigned from the Harry Von TUzer concern. GETTING IN GOOD WORK. Last Saturday and Sunday*tbe boys from the New York music publishers reaped quite a harvest down at Coney Island. Every publisher was represented and the plug was not wasted, as the largest crowd Coney has ever seen was down. THOSE WAR SONGS. Now that It is a certainty that we will have no war with Mexico, what is toabecome of all the war songs? It might be a good idea to .change tbe lyrics and sell them to Villa for national hymns. GILBERT AND MUIR'S NEW NUMBER The profession art always waiting for Bometalng new from' these Trays, and they generally turn out something that Is worth while. , Last week F. A. Mills announced a new one by the boys called "I Had a Gal, I Had a Pal," and It looks like another Gilbert and Mulr success. HAURICB IN SUMMER HOME. Melville Maurice, of the J. H. . Rcmlck forces, has sojourned for the Summer to his home in Borough Park. Maurice can be found any Sunday morning looking over bis favorite baseball team. He even wagers as much as ten cents on the team. Some sport this guy. ARTHUR BBHIM IMPROVING. The hundreds of friends of jovial Arthur Behlm, the road representative of the Broad- way Music Company, will be pleased to learn that he Is rapidly recovering from his re- cent operation, and expects to be about ehortly. WATERSON'S NEW STORE. Henry Waterson's new music and novelty atore, at Broadway and Forty-seventh Street' is now open for business, and again shows the master hand of this genius. It is one of the most thoroughly equipped enterprises of Its kind in the world, a place that one will find almost anything In too music line. JOE GOODWIN SIGNS. Hardly out of the game a week. Joe Good- win, one of our best lyric writers, has signed a contract to write exclusively for Water- son, Berlin & Snyder. MAURICE RICHMOND SAYSt If the letters, telegrams and special de- livery letters continue to come in as fast as they have been coming In dnring the past ten days for "He Was Always Fooling Around," this great "clown" song will positively be the biggest sensation in tbe country before the Summer is very old. Anna Chandler, this week at Hammer- stein's, for her last number la using "He Was Always Fooling Around," and at nearly every performance she has been Interrupted by outbursts of applause during her choruses. Never in the history of Hammerateln's has there been such a big hit. Montgomery and Moore arc "Fooling Around" with great suc- cess at Keith's Theatre, Philadelphia George Ward writes that he has never had a song that went for him like "He Was Always Fooling Around" is going this week nt Keith's Theatre, Cincinnati Kelly and Galvtn, at Loew'e Greeley Square, are a positive sensa- tion with "He Was Always Fooling Around." Burton. Hahn and Cantwell, at Locw's Ful- ton Theatre, sing so many verses and choruses of "He Was Always Fooling Around" that they are virtually exhausted at the finish. Seymour, Dempscy and Seymour at Fox's Crotona Theatre, make them sit up and take notice when they sing "He Was Always Fooling Around." 8am Harris, the ever smiling "Sam," is certainly making them laugh with ull the extra verses and choruses of "He Was Always Fooling Around." In fact, it is such a hit for him that he himself has written Beveral extra verses and choruseo to satisfy the tremendous applause. "If They'd Only Move Old Ireland Over Here is growing bigger and bigger every day. There never was an Irish song like It It is in a class by itself. It can be sung cither ns a ballad or comedy song. The audience cannot help but like this number, because it has a great lyric and they feel like joining In the chorus every time they hear it. because of its very catchy melody. "If I Had My Way" continues to grow big- ger dally in favor with the ballad singers. It Is as pretty a ballad as has ever been written. "If I Were the Ocean and You Were tho Shore" Is another very prettv ballad which has been taken up everywhere It has ever been sung. Those who have heard "He Was Always Fooling Around" say that It la the cleverest thing Billy Jerome has ever done and when one stops to consider that Billy Jerom» has written Buch numbers as "Row, Row, Row," ■Bedells," "Mr. Doolcy," "My Irish Molly Oh," "Green Grass Grew All Around," "Sit Down. You're Rocking the Boat," etc., "He Was Always Fooling Around" must be a wonderful number. Mullen and Coogan sent us a night letter faying the song was a eensation at Keith's. Washington; also President Wilson, who wan in the box with a party of friends, laughed heartily and applauded after every verse and chorus very vigorously. Dot Diamond Is n tremendous lilt with "He Was Alwavs Fool- ing Around," and sings It very effectively in her own novel way, and It may be guessed that it is "different' from the way an j body clBe does this song. Neal McKtnley, at the .National Theatre, Detroit, is "clowning" Ms way to success with "He Woo Alwnvs Fool- ing Around," and Neal writes that it Is positively the biggest and most natural song hit he has ever used.

Fire started in the tulldlng»k5o— n as the York Theatre here about- 10.30 last night, and within an hour the entire building was destroyed. Orlg- inally erected of wood In 1841, It was known as the Mechanics' Institute. Walle not erected orig- inally for an opera bouse, tbe asdltorlum was used for lectures and concerts. After the big St. John Are, In 1877, when the Academy of Mu- sic and Lanergarys Lyceum were destroyed. It became the only place of amusement here until tbe present Oucra House was erected. In 1891. Fran that date until 1004 It plared occasional attractions. In 1005 R. J. Armstrong bought it, ond after making some alterations, opened It as a vaudeville house, under the name of th« York Theatre. In 1007 tbe Keltti interests leased it and opened It as a mmlng picture, house, when It was known as the Nickel. fcJnce tho opening of the Imperial last-Sepren. tor tbe house kail been lemcl only for loeal ama- teur shows, le>!tnw*, meeilnri. etc. The last per- formance was glvtu May £.V27. by tocnl aautou—t, who presented "La Mascotte."

It is not likely that It will be rebuilt, as the location Is not an ideal one. +—+ DUMONT CLOSES SEASON. Frank Damont revived minstrelsy as it was .created by a quartette to 1843, as a ftttlng feature of the eloslng week of the season. The flfst oart of half circle was originated In that year" by Frank Brower, a Pnlladelnbtan, who was as- sisted by Dick Pelbao, Billy Whltlock and old Dan Emmett. It was Brat presented at the Chatham Theatre. New York. Jan. 31, 1843, and the acene represented a Southern plantation, amid cotton fields, with the planter's mansion, and the colored servants having a Jubilee, attired In tn* dress of that era, with banjos, Iddlea. guitars, 'Old Jawbones" and other primitive Instruments. Tbe original "Jawbone" used Is In Mr. Dnmont's collection. Tbe old songs, like "Old Black Joe'.' and many others which were familiar to our grandfathers, will be rendered on this occasion, and will no doubt revive pleasant memories. It will be something of a novelty to see minstrelsy In exact replica of Its original presentation. Incidentally, the current season haa been the most prosperous for Dumont's Minstrels In a number of years, watch would Indicate that this style ot amusement haa by no means died out. ♦ ■» MRS. VERNON CASTLE IMPROVING. Mrs. Irene Castle, wife of Vernon Castle, who underwent an operation for apteudlcltls at the Woman's Hospital, May 20, Is getting along nicely.
