Notes from Murphy's Comedians No. 3: We were making a rather long Jump from Cape Girardeau, Mo., to Johnston City, 111., making a change at Chaffee, Mo., recently. Clio* Swan and Paul Maxwell had to make a visit as they m?nerally do. If only to Increase their extensive acquaintance. Upon this occasion it was AL P. Globs Ladles' Baseball Club who were In their private car at Chaffee. Mr. Otbbs, a most pleasant conversationalist, was of course glad lo see the boys. Messrs. Swan and Maxwell pro- longed their conversation to a satisfactory.period, giving plenty of time for their train to get away "right under their noses." Of course "plenty of lime," but when tbe box-car twins arrived at tho station and saw no signs of their suit cases or any members of' the company, one csn picture lite blank expressions on their faces Tbe train left at 2.2S v. X., and tbe next one was 2.25 i*. x. on tbe following day. Fortunately the twins learned of a freight-train that was leaving sbont 4.30 P. M.. sad arrived about midnight Tbey could not get satisfactory permission from the conductor to ride tbe train so it was a case of "hoeing It" In one of tbe box-cars. And It was some'hot. When the freight stopped at Tbelies you crald hear the familiar found of tbe csl.lopc from the showboat "Woudtxland." A symphony orchestra could not have sounded tweeter, oml here ths "Box-Car Johnnies" scrambled over seat-boards and trunks to i-wp boles, Lnt alas the were too miieU to see tbe boat.

Several arguments cuter Into hi* views as to tbe total Inadvlsablllty of tho scheme. In tho first place, tie says, "the total absence of tho middle class, or those in rather comfort- able circumstances, who, as In America, can af- ford io pay a fair price for a theatre: seat, makes It Impossible for any manager to figure on returns at sll In keeping with the expense of an averngo burlesque show, that would play Ihe provinces," Ot all the shows organised in London to tour tbe provinces hardly one has a salary list of over 1500. Tbe houses which could lie secured (and the expert denies that thirty could lie found), play to prices that average a thousand itollnrs on' I he week, a shilling being the top price In most of them, with a few box seats at two shillings alx pence, or sixty cents. American chorus girls could not be secured for less than 120 each, and any good comedian would want tl'iS or |ino. Then the prhn.i dnnns, tho saubrctte and others, where would tbo manager ot a show get off? The manager of a ahaw In the provinces con*' slilers himself fortunate If he clear* a hundred dollars on a show that costs hint $D0O R week, and where Is the Interest on the coat of equipment If the show eats up that profit and more. Many years ago the Held was thoroughly gone over liy Lawn-nco Wels-r. and It didn't figure at sll. The English uinuagcis have been, observing tho American lurlexiue >how system for a num- ber of years, nud never could nguro-how tiny could povslbty cume out alive on any proposition that Involved any-where i.enr the expense' nf a modern. American burlesque show In the opinion of this expert there arc not ten houses outside of l^imkn that would lend themselves lo the scheme and Londoners would not patronise or en- Mingo anything so entirely American as a bur- lesque thow as we know It They would net l -atio-nlsc the*} Yankee notions a* lias becu the Hitd expedience of other American managers who lost their good money In trying to show them. They simply could not see It. Anil a burlesque wheel In any .other country than America' might as well never nt in. as it vroul I take too uiu:k axle gieno. The bouse and tho company would get nil the money In Sight. A. B. ('. SI'ISCIAL MJTICi:. All members art* esjicclnlly rei|uratcd to attend the next two meetings of tho oganlsallon, Wol- ru-sdoy.
