A merry little contest is being waged between the musical inter- ests of St. Louis and this city for the services of Rudolph Ganz, the eminent Swiss conductor. He is wanted to take charge of the sym- phony orchestras in both cities. Mr. Ganz says that he does not wish the two cities to bid against each other for his services, but the fact remains that is Just what is going on. Those mentioned in both cities are working hard to secure him and some interesting offers will un- doubtedly be made public in the very near f-tture. NOTICE SEYMORE HOTEL ROCHESTER, N. Y.

At present the house is operated by the Cincinnati-Louisville Theatre Co. Louisville authorities will not In- terfere with dancing at public parks Sundays this summer. The decision grew out of a petition bearing sev- eral thousand signatures calling on the mayor to ban Sunday dancing. Picture house owners of Kentucky have forestalled any action against "indecent" films by declaring them- selves in perfect harmony with the announced intention of the National Association of Motion Picture In- dustry that no objectionable fea- tures would be permitted to be thrown on the screen.

Proctor Is here en route to Los Angeles where he will remain for a protracted period. With the presentation of eight- act bills at the Orpheum, the musi- cians have come forward with a request for an additional ninth in weekly salary. Spring weather walloped the busi- ness at Loew's Sunday, the house being off the first time this season. Out at the local ball yard Babe Ruth drew sixteen thou, which may have c t in some also. The show was sprightly enough. Santry and Norton cyced to the mode began it. They pirouette with the neck swing tagging. It Is a peppy starter of the sort that gets a bill off on the right foot. They left the crowd brimful for the next act. Dixie Hamilton, to wit, who sang from behind her piano and sneaked out later to shoot some "blues" at the mob. Dixie had In a few nifties that sent her score along healthily. She left after bouncing across a Jazzy melody. "Breakfast for Three" proved do- mestic in trend. It Is not a screech, but has a laugh hither and yon. The interpreters were trying, which helped immeasurably. Weston and Eline swiped the show minus any competition. Miss Eline was all over the place, following one punch with another. Energy is her middle name. Leach Wallln Trio remain as for- merly a standard closer of the bet- ter sort and gathered their usual meed. Twin headlinors and an eight-act layout at the Orpheum this week. The two features were Corinne Til- ton and Revue and Clark and Ar- cady. Ed and Mack Williams, boys who dance a la Tux, were the first arrival. The stepping was differ- ent at moments, but their effoi s were quite negligible. Blgelow and Clinton, who followed, passed away completely. They lack personality, magnetism and decided ability. Added to the shortcomings men- tioned the songs employed were quite colorless and utterly bereft of sparkle. Corinne Tilton sent over a hit in third position. Her score would have been larger with her boudoir scene entirely eliminated and a punch climax, evidently her drunk impersonation, struck resoundingly. Her revue is not as good as some, but it is better than most. Al Espe and assistants were rather cold the first few minutes. The crowd warming toward the end, which is much the best of the num- ber. The first section could be quickened. Elize White was in her usual vein and might have achieved more with better material. The head dresses worn are not becoming and might be eliminated altogether. Clark and A retro stepped to the front at once, making every post a winning one. Real farceurs this pair who sell travesty in manner terse and trenchant. When one of the sallies missed, Clark remarked sotto voice "that was a perisher."

Coa* clusively ho fought them with tha old German parody on "Dixie" but was compelled to throw in tha sponge. Paul Levan and Miller were last holding part of the audience while doing the utmost to please, Slovenly dressing militated against the general impression of the Pantagcs show this week. Sev- eral of the acts were of the sort demanding a flash to bring the best result and it was unfortunate the costuming should have been so frayed and dull. Possibly the woi'Ht offender in this regard was "The Carnival of Venice," one of those Italian singing affairs which was headlined. The singing was first rate and some of the business employed bizarre enough to merit approbation, but tho dollies worn cheapened the spectacle in euch manner as to earn for the whole only passing notice. Cook and Vernon did nicety open-
