Howe and his travel fes- tival, second week. With prlsfep 15-50, at- traction seems to be drawing. ILLINOIS (Will J. Davis, mgr.; K. ft E.).—- This week will witness the closing of Rose Stahl and "Maggie Pepper." Miss Stahl has had an unusually successful run and could draw for several weeks more, but her Euro- pean vacation seems too tempting. OLYMPIC (Sam Lederer. mgr.; K. ft E.).— "Get Rich Quick Walllngford" continues to play to big business, despite the excessive heat. The piece is after the Chicago record run for non-musical pla>s. and will soon pass the mark set by "The Fortune Hunter" at the same house. It looks as though the show will remain for the summer. POWERS (Harry Powers, mgr.; K. ft E.).— "The Seven Sisters" in its third successful month at Powers. This week the manage- ment announces a cut in balcony and gallery prices. It is doubtful if the piece will close down before late in the) summer. McVICKER'S (George Warren, mgr.; K. ft E.).—The Aborn Opera Co., in Jules Masse- net's "Thais" in English. PRINCESS (Mort H. Singer, mgr.; Shubert). —Third week of "The Heart breakers." Busi- ness on the Increase. Some doctoring has Im- proved the piece considerably, and while It could stand further Improvement, the show looks good enough for a summer run. HAYMARKET (Col. Ed. Roche, mgr.; K. ft E.).—Jeanne Towlcr and a summer stock com- pany. Business good. COLUMBIA (Woods Columbia Amusement Co., mgr.).—"The Bowery Burlesquers" here to stay.

BURLES (All Alone) (All A Cohan) Mr. Sam Compere. President of the American Federation of Labor, after witnessing a performance of Clarke's Co. at Washington, D. C, lately, remarked, "When I see a ball game, I see the player only as the player. 1st baseman, short-stop. etc.. and not as the individual, whom I am perhaps well acquainted with." "The same at the theatre; I see the player In the character he Is portraying and not as the Individual. I SAW J. B. DTLLTN. AND I COULD 8BE THE PLATER AND THE INDIVIDUAL.

The American theatre closes 17 for two weeks to permit the management to give the house a thorough renovation. The Jack Gold- en company will finish its engagement at the American the day of closing. A schoolday romance culminated at the altar a few days ago. when Agustus Volmer, chief of police of Berkeley, married Lydla Sturtovant. a former operatic star, at the home of the bride's sister. After the cere- mony the happy bride and groom departed on their honeymoon trip to the South, where they will remain for a few weeka Volmer Is one of the best known police chiefs on the Coast as well as the youngest, and Is presi- dent of the Federation of California Police Chiefs. Mrs. Volmer wss formerly a member of the Royal Opera company of Milan, Italy The Musicians' Union of San Francisco has decided that hereafter members of other unions applying for membership will be barred. Members of other trades have joined the Musicians' Union to compete with mem- bers who followed muslo as a" means of live- lihood. The regular musicians feel that was unjust and demanded that this step be taken to protect them. The Chutes opened I with pictures and a couple of singers. The work of clearing the ruins has been completed. In a short time the new Chutes will blossom forth. Mr. Ackerman of the Western States Vaudeville Association, states that business Is very good and that they are adding more houses to their time every day. Commenolng this week the Jose theatre will play vaude- ville booked by the W. 8. V. A. The Jose has been playing dramatic stock. Drama is not the thing for 8an Jose, judging from the business. The Princess opened recently with vaude- ville and pictures and seems to be holding Its own. The .Princess Is next door to the Gar- riok, which has been running as a picture house. The Garrlck did a land offlce busi- ness up to the advent of the Princess open- ing. Now, neither house gets ths play the Gaiick had previously. In five-cent vaudeville and pictures It will be the survival of the fittest. The agitation by the White Rats against agents and managers Is still fermenting. Some of the small time agents here have signed the agreement submitted. Nellie 8trong, who came here and Joined the Belasco forces at the Alcasar, has left that theatre to go with the Nance O'Nell company, taking Ethel Grey Terry's place. Miss 8trong will go on to New York and Join the David Belasco forces for next season. Walter Perry Is framing a new act with (Miss) Del St Claire. Harry Earl, stage manager at the Belasco theatre, was in San Francisco, on his wsy to Seattle. He stayed here a few days and vis- ited with some of his old pals. The Bismarck Cafe has gone, snd in its place the Cafeteria has come! Now, In place of the classy orchestra and vaudeville tarns, one may see his friend or friends desllng to himself off the arm. One of the classiest vaudeville and dram- atic shows ever pulled off, was presented by the Oakland lodge of Elks at the McDonoUgh theatre one night last week. The dramatic part of the bill was entitled "The Curse of Gold, or the Farmer's Revenge." and was participated in by the members of One Seven One Stock Co.. of the Oakland lodge of Elks An added feature of the program was a planolog, donated by Tom Waters, in Oak- land at the Orpheum. One of the members of the Elks stock company worthy of special mention is Arthur Morgansteln, who played a Germany comedy part in a manner worthy of a professional. Max Horwlnskl wrote the "Farmer's Revenge." and directed the produc- tion. -THE WORLD'S GREATEST ZYLOPHONIST" is "CLEANING UP" with WILL ROSSITER'S "HITS" "SOME OF THESE DAYS" and "THAT CAROLINA RAG" When answering advertiiementt kindly mention VARTETY.
