The Nichols Amusement Co. is playing to good business in Arkansas. QUEEN CITY BRIEFS Cincinnati is proud of the emme. 5 Show. The big circus organization received divine blessing the opening day in the p..3 of drizzling showers, but Friday and Saturday were fine and excellent business was done. The parade was omitted a la Barnum & Bailey, and this may be the rule in most of the big cities this season. The vaudeville Annex, under the management of E. L. Bowman, played to big business the entire engagement. The Hagenbeck Show is the real thing. See report of the opening in the circus department of this ssue Kyrie Bellew was well received in Raffles at the Grand. It takes a pretty strenuous performance to awaken a Cincinnati audience when the actors are English, but Mr. Bellew and his able company were moderately successful in this respect. Miss Lorena Atwood distinguished herself in the performance, and E. M. Holland proved himself an actor not far below the talents of the successful star. The success the Columbia has had this season has prompted Messrs Anderson & Ziegler to greatly improve that theatre before next season. The chief alteration will be the widening of the lobby. A. G. Hettesheimer, treasurer of the Walnut Street Theatre, met with an accident April 3, while out on the river with a party of friends. While handling the boat the crank slipped catching Mr. Hettesheimer above the wrist and breaking it. Chas. Bennet is treasurer pro tem of the Walnut. Wanda Ludlow, the Cincinnati actress, was labt week given a decree of divorce from Harry S. Coleman, to whom she was married Nov. 28. 1905, at Lewiston, Me. Pretty Wanda says it wasn’t a marriage at all, as at the time she thought she was rehearsing for a part of the play in which she was appearing. Mary Hall arrived in Cincinnati last week after a very successful engagement at the Empire Theatre, Boston. Miss Hall opened a four weeks’ engagement with the Forepaugh Stock Co. at Robinson's Opera House Sunday afternoon, appearing in LaTosca. Lincoln Carter’s Too Proud To Beg, an old favorite, was seen at the Lyceum last week. The two children, Mildred and Arthor Boylan, are great favorites with the Lyceum crowds, ami thelr specialties are received with warm applause. The rest of the players were all to the good. Me, Him and I, which held the boards at the Walnut last week, was one of the largest and best talented companies of the season. been seen here on a previous occasion, this alone was sufficient to attract the excellent business which it drew. This season, Sullivan, Watson and Whitelaw, the three well-known farceurs, antics kept the crowds busy laughing. Miss Marion Stanley proved a valuable addition to the performance. At the Columbia a variety bill of much worth was presented. The Hacker Lester Trio, opened the performance with a unique trick bicycle act. Mirzl Von Wenzl, the Tyrolean Yodler pleased with her charming singing, while Foy and Clarke have one of the best novelty acts seen here this season. Arthur Dunn and Marie Glazier were the headlined feature, and they proved a good one. Prof. Herbert’s Dog & Monkey Show is out of the ordinary, and his animals are admirably trained. Others on the bill were . REHEARSING FOR NEW ACT The Barrett Sisters, the minstrel girls, are taking a much needed rest and incidentally rehearsing for a new act. They have signed with Mrs. Geo. DeHaven of DeHaven’s Sextet, arti will hereafter appear in white face. They open probably the first week in May. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Meyersdale, Pa., April 2, 1906.
