The Fox circuit, around New York can play nine weeks; United Family time can m an act twenly weeks tn the East Moss 4 Brill with the Amalgamated Vaudeville Association circuit csn glre twenty-fire weeks. Witt all these bookings in slgbt there Is bound to be a shortage of material. Acts In one espe- cially can get plenty of work If they hare the material. The burlesque shows hare takes a lot of good material from the rauderllle stage, and what Is wanted this season Is novelty sets. The United Booking Office hare secured Svl- reavter Schaffer. at a salary of $5,000 a week, and they are In search of new acts. LIEBLER & CO.'S PURS. There Is no tangible interference with the plans of the Liebler Co. for their theatrical sea- son on account of the wsr. Most of tbelr pro- ductions concerned players snd playwrights who were marooned in England since the declaration of war, but In spite of tbls menace to their organisations, there Is no one missing. The fifth and last season In "Disraeli" of Georre Arllss begins on Sept. 2. Mr. Arllss ar- rived on the St. Paul. On the steamship with him were Margaret Dale. Erntta Lascelles, bis new leading lady, and Mrs. Arllss. The tour of "Disraeli" will take the company for the first time to the Coast, playing an engagement In Stn Francisco during the Panama Fair. The first New York production of the Llehlir Co., "The Gsrden of Paradise." at the Park Theatre. New York, which they here leased for tbe coming season. Is well under wsy. O. P. Haggle, who was engaged by George C. Tyler to liroduce Edward Sheldon's beautiful adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid." has arrived In New York, via Montreal. His asso- ciate, Clifford Brooke, who will direct the re- hearsals of the uew Nnxlmova play anl Lcula N. Parker's "The Highway of Life," csme with him. Brolly Stevens, who will plsr tbe lead In "The Garden of Paradise," Is already In New York, and the entire cast Is here excepting George Ralph, who Is expected soon. Joseph Urban, the Aus- trian artist, who has designed the eleven scenes of this spectacular production and the costumes, fortunately left Austria leforc the wsr was* de- clared. The mechanical staff of the Century The- atre, with which the Liebler Co. were able to cre- ate their extraordinary stage illusions In "The Garden of Allah" end 'The Daughter of neaven." are already busy Installing the mechanical novel- ties of this production at the Park Theatre. "The Garden of Paradise" Ib looked forward to in New York as one of the biggest beauty shows of the season. Lennox Powle, who will appear In the charac- ter of Sflcawber at the head of an English com- pany In Louis N. Parker's "The Highway of Life" at Wallack's, bas booked passage from London nexr month. As tbls production will not be me.-ely a replica of Sir Herbert Tree's pre- scnlallon of the same play at His Majesty's The- atre. London, the Liebler Co. bsve already com- missioned Gates 4 Morange, the scenic srtlsts who made the production of "Toe Garden of Allah." to prepare the scenery. Cyril Maude, with an entirely new company, arrives in New York about the middle of Oc- tober. He will spend s few weeks' racation In New York before oiierlng at the Plymouth, Bos- Inn, on Nor. 13 In his great success, "Grumpy." His new leading lady Is Miss Elsie Mscksy, who Slays the nsrt crested by bis daughter, Miss largery Maude, last season. Nasimova sails for America tbe first week in September to begin rehearsals in s new play which has been written for her by Basil Mac- Donald Hastings, the author of "The New Sin." Although Mr. Hastings's play la finished, no name for It has yet been announced. «■« » NORDICA'S WILL FILED. George W. Young, husband of the late Mme.
