Miron, last season of "The Girl and the Judge" company, has been placed at the head of a new act which will short- ly be seen on the Klaw & Erlanger vaude- ville circuit.

Hobart. BODIE MAY COME AND SUE. The refusal of the New York Police Commissioner to grant a license for Dr. Walford Bodie, "the healer" from Eng- land, to exhibit his powers in this town did not cancel the contract Dr. Bodie holds with Al. H. Woods, the manager, who intended to exploit the advertised curer over the country if the New York en- gagement proved the sensation expected. It is rumored that by the time Dr. Bodie should have opened here (Oct. 7) he will be on the ground tendering his ser- vices to Mr. Woods. Upon that manager declining to place him through circum- stances it is reported the doctor will bring his contract into court. The agreement calls for several weeks at a lar<;e sized guarantee.
