John Hows, former battalion chief of the New York Fire Department, al- ways actively connected with theat- ricals and responsible in a large meas- _ ure for a number of improvements on legislating as it related to the de- partment and New York theatre, died recently at his home in upper New York City after a brief illness. Chief Howe was a Friar and was one of its most popular members. He was noted for his bravery under action dur- ing his departmental reign and his death found many mourners in the profession. His funeral was attend- ed by men in all walks of public and theatrical life. Two members of Local No. 1 New York Theatrical Protective Union have died within the past fortnight. John T. Cleory, aged about 35, un- married, stagehand at the Century about a year ago, died Nov. 16 in New York of tuberculosis. Ed. Mul- verhill, about 50 years old, property man at the Lexington O. H., New York, worked the night before the morning he died, of acute pneumonia. A widow and one son survive, the lat- ter (Walter Mulverhill) at present at the Metropolitan O. H. Joseph Lafranie, 26 years old, com- mitted suicide in his boarding house in Brooklyn, Nov. 25. The home of the deceased was in Newburg, N. Y. He left a note in which he said al- though he had been drafted and was anxious to serve he was being trailed by Secret Service Operators, who he imagined suspected him of being a spy. The coroner took charge of the body and will make a complete inves- tigation. Con W. Wiggin, member of Jack George and Co., died at the General Hospital, Winnipeg, Nov. 21. The cause of death was a rupture sustained while playing in "The Fatal Ring" when that film was being taken. Artists from the Strand, Orpheum and Pantages, Winnipeg, contributed a large sum, out of which the funeral expenses were paid, and the balance was sent to his widow and three chil- dren living in Seattle. Chocolate, the colored clown well known on the Continent, died Not. 8 while performing at the Circque Rancy, Bordeaux (France). He was born m-Havana, real name was Raph- ael Parade j. He leaves a ion, now in the French army. Amm— McLaughlin, sister of Jennie, professionally known as "The Girl in the Moon," died Nov. 16 at Philadel- phia. She had been ill two years and prior to that time had been with Joseph Santley in "AH Over Town.!' Frmace* (Die) Kiornon, formerly with "Mother Goose" in vaudeville, died of tuberculosis at her home, 3543 No. 11th street, Philadelphia, Nov. 9, 1917. Miss Kiernan was 21 years of age. George Lacna, tenor at the Paris Opera, was killed in an automobile ac- cident in Paris Nov. 2. He had ap- peared in vaudeville on the other side doing an imitation of Caruso. Goorg Siofllts, a well known bass singer of the Opera at Munich, died recently at the age of 63. Tho mother of Bob ODonnell died Nov. 22 in Chicago. Mr. ODonnell is the manager of the Harlem opera house. SHOWS OPENING. When the southern "Nothing But the Truth" closed its season suddenly in Dallas last week, the Weber & Ander- son offices arranged for the western company (laying off) to resume its tour in PoWnsylvania. Bert Hier, with the southern outfit, will handle the advance for the other show. H. D. Davidson will manage. Syracuse, Nov. 28. "Furs and Frills" was presented here Nov. 26 under the management of Max and Edward Spiegel. The cast was headed by Ernest Torrence, of the original company. Others were Ferae Rogers, Harriet Burt, Beth Smalley, Burrell Barbaretto, Norman Keith, Ben Wells, Harry Miller, George Slade, Milt Dawson, and six violin girls, besides a fem ale c horus of thirty. It will be played in the Shubert theatres. "Oh James" is the title of a new farce which H. H. Frazee is producing and which is due to open at Atlantic City next week. The cast includes John Westley, George Sydney, Evelyn Var- den, Rose Morrison, James Dyrenforth and Florence Edney. The piece is be- ing staged by Daniel V. Arthur. "Sick Abed." the new K. & E. farce, with Mary Boland in the lead, goes into rehearsal next week under the direction of Edgar McGregor, who has been in Chicago attending to the Chi- cago staging of "Here Comes the Bride." Engaged so far in support of Miss Boland are Mary Newcombe and Julia Ralph. SQUARING A LIFT. Chicago, Nov. 28. In this general vicinity there is ap- pearing a production, the book of which has been palpably lifted from another and much earlier production. The owner of the show knows the local dramatic critics and their cun- ning little ways. He is familiar with the awesome adjectives of Percy Ham- mond, the infallible statistics of Doc Hall, the sweetly searing sarcasm of Ashton Stevens, and the polished, aca- demic pin which Charlie Collins some- times insert into the cadavar of the producer—with due cause, of course. Therefore, as a measure of forestall- ing, without any explanatory matter, the following quotation from a classic appears on the programs and advertis- ing matter: When 'Omer smote 'is bloomin' lyre, 'E'd 'eard new songs o'er land an' sea; An' what 'e thought 'e might require, 'E went an' took, the same as we.
