Will Rogers, the lariat thrower, now with "Hands Up," hasn't received sal- ary alleged by him to be due for the unfinished week he appeared at the Pal- ace, during which "Hands Up" opened. 1 hat night Mr. Rogers, after notifying the Palace management at 4.30 in the afternoon he would appear in the pro- duction, did so, also playing the Pal- ace, and the next morning (Friday) Mr. Rogers was informed his Palace engagement had been summarily can- celed. When pay time arrived there was no money at the Palace for Rog- ers, nor has he collected it since, though applying for the change several times. The Palace management became ag- grieved at Rogers for taking a produc- tion engagement simultaneously with a \audeville week. It was the first time in vaudeville's annals over here a like occurrence had taken place, an act play- ing in both a vaudeville and a legiti- mate theatre without the consent of the former. Besides looking for his salary en- velope, Rogers is watqhing a third child, born last week, develop, and is considering some production offers, he having been first accepted for Ned Wayburn's "Town Topics," but did not enter, says Rogers, into a signed contract with Wayburn. BILLING IN "YIDDISH." A novelty and an inauguration for an English speaking variety theatre is hap- pening this week at the Harlem opera house and 5th Avenue theatre where Jos. Kessler, the feature of the programs on the split week, is being billed in half sheets over the surrounding neigh- borhood in Hebrew type. Mr. Kessler is playing the sketch, "Food for the Cannon," by Ossip Dymow. He is a popular "Yiddish" player. The entire half sheet is in the Hebrew print, mentioning himself, playlet and name of theatre. Aaron Kessler, who books Mr. Kessler, arranged with Lawrence J. Goldie, the booker for the two houses, for the "Yiddish" billing display. ENGAGED BUT NOT PLACED. While the Shuberts have definitely placed Stella Mayhcw and Billie Tay- lor under a long term contract to ap- pear for them, it has not yet been decided where and in what piece they arc to play. It is said the Shuberts have some- thing in mind they believe Miss May- hew and Mr. Taylor will just fit into. "The Mayhew-Taylor combination is at the Palace this week, placed by Georgie O'Brien of the Harry Weber office, for six weeks in vaudeville, be- fore tackling the Shubcrt assignment.
