NEW YORK. Oct. H l3pclal. Tha
thrater-gotric public U rejoicing
orrr the fact that at laat a ral ef
fort has hrrn made to curb tha Tcula
torii. ho practically control all the bis
aurrv-ay.
The Shuberta. who have nine theaters
In Manhattan, have abolished the hotel
prrvll.a-a. whlrh was an Institution In
New York Inns before the Shuberta be
came Interested In dramatic productions
here.
The "hotel prtTilraV' Is supposedly de
aianed for Hi convenience of customers
from out of town. Kry theater sends
Its best seats to the hotel stands, where
they are disposed of at an ad ranee of
i rents apiece. The tickets are set
aside regularly, and the ajrrreraent with
the theaters provides that they can be
returned at 7:30 on the nlsjht of the per
formance. The ordinary speculator would have
rcunh sledding If hta tickets were not
returnable. Hut where he Is aelllna with
no chance to lesr. the business is at
tractive. Of course, the hotel stands do
not sell at more than the SO-cenl ad
vance, but there is a well-defined rumor
that certain outside speculators have
eats for successes which were originally
sent to some hotel, perhsps the specu
lator bought them and then tried to sell
at a profit. And perhaps he was working
In connection with the hotel man. There
are only these two explanations that can
b given.
The Phuberts. in explaining their re
form, say that there is -no reaon why a
customer should not set the best seats at
list price, whlrh Is why they have de
cided to rut out the hotels, where, undrr
former arrangements, the best seats al
wavs went.
fcvery theater sells tickets In advance,
but until the Shuberta made their an
nouncement, the genera public was not
aware that the first 10 rows In every
house were set aside for the "theater
trade." In other words, no matter how
far ahead he bought, the ordinary cus
tomer could never get further front than
the 11th row. unless he paid a bonus or
dropped In at the last moment when the
hefls sent In their returns
Marc Klaw. of Klaw Erlaneer. has
been at the head of every movement M
"curb"' ticket speculators. The syndi
cate houses, however, still maintain their
hotel connections, which good observers
declare b the rral root of the speculator
evil.
Scat to Hr Sold on New Plan.
Another novelty that the Shuberta have
introduced Is a system whereby, at sny
one of their houses, you can buy tickets
for any other theater they control. It
simply requires telephoning for reserva
tions, as Is done In Pullman branch of
fices, and la such a handy scheme that It
I a wonder some nunacer did not think
of It long ago.
The Rev. Charles F. Aked. of the Fifth
Avenue Baptist Church, better known
a Rockef'lter'a pastor." has aroused a
storm of rrttlrlem by remarks he mad
during his recent controversy with Car
dinal loaue.

he said, "are Justified in refusing to

Antl-Trast t'a Novel.
The Sherman antl-tniat law haa been
Invoked In an action which has thor
oughly aroused all the brewers of New
York, who have property Interests of
many millions.
There is an organisation known as the
Associated Prrwcrs of New York and
Vicinity, and they control all the draught
beer output of the city. Now one com
pany Is sued for IJ1.000. tut If It loses
It will he a precedent that may affect
the others.
One August Klockemeyer owned a half
Interest In a saloosf In Brooklyn. His
partner decided to buy him out. and of
fered him J750. This money he expected
to get from a brewer to whom he had
agreed to transfer hia trade. But. at the
last moment, the second brewer refused
to advance cash or to even serve beer.
The result was that" in the end Klocke
meyer received tiOO as his share of
the saloon business.
Now he haa Investigated, and declares
that the brewer In the association have
agrements whereby one menfber shall
tiOt seek trade where another was al
ready supplying the "saloon, and. in fact.
a debarred from doing business without
the written consent of the first brewer.
All of which Klockemeyer and his law
er assert 1s contrary to the spirit of
the Sherman law. and they ask that this
"Illegal combine" be broken up. I'nited
States District Attorney Wise Is said
to be Interested In the matter, and theru
Is a possibility that he may Institute

Something new In real estate work is
being attempted by a your dealer. He
Is holding an auction sale of lots by elec
tric 1I lit.
Ills theory Is that the average wage
earner has no chance to attend auctions
In the day time, for he would thereby
lose In salary. But at nisht he has time
to do so. and would really enjoy an op
portimltr to look around.
Whether or not the experiment will
be a success remains to be demonstrat
ed. Some objectors declare that It it
Impossible to properly see resl estate
by electric light, but this Is unim

would not know much about It if he
could view it by broad siinllgFH. Other
realty dealers are watching the suc

Into the field If results warrant It.
Nineteen years ago a Catholic priest
In Brooklyn. Father Kilahy. decided on
a plan to raise the church debt. With
some funds In his possession, and back
ed by. several parishioners, he insured
the lives of five single men. members
of the congregation. The policies were
made out for the benefit of the church,
and would draw $10,000 In each case
of death,-or a sum almost equally large
If the Insured lived, for 24 years.
These policies will mature next Spring,
but the unpleasant feature of the case
Is that three or the five men have ut
terly vanished. Two are still In Brook
lyn, but the missing three have not
been heard from for a number of years.

orchestra. The management recognised
the strides musical Portland is mak
ing, and believing that a real orchestra I
would fill a public want, gave instruc-
tlons to Mr. Rosebrook to go ahead, get I
an orcheatra that would be a credit to
the theater and the city, and not to
bother about what it would cost. Long
ago. people said: "We would willingly
come to the theater early, if there were
any music worth coming for." That at
traction has now arrived at the Helllg.
One can see for himself by going half
an hour before each performance. Peo
ple are getting settled In their places,
waiting for the orchestra. It is u regu
lar Institution now. And well are the
waiting ones repaid.
Mr. Rosebrook chooses the newest anj
best music he can find, and tries to
please and does please musical tastes.
Nothing Is too advanced or too cheap. It
Is as gocd as attending a symphony or
chestra concert, and the programme is
nvore-easllv understood, but It's Just ss
high class. Excerpts from the very be.it
operas and musical comedies are given,
followed by the latest from such as De
bussy. 'harpentler. etc. Yet the list is
not a too learned one, and the popuWr
taste la always considered.

Trolley Supervision Broached.
The large number of fatal trolley
car collisions In the rural districts of
late, haa aroused a demand that these
lines be properly supervised. Only the
other day there was a head-on colli
sion near New Britain, Conn.. In which
21 persons were Injured.
The majority of these roads are sin
gle track affairs, while the cars are
large and heavy and run at practically
express speed. There Is no system
of signals, the motormen simply be
ing; instructed to wait at certain
switches for cars coming in the oppo
site direction.
Almost Invariably accidents are due
to a disobedience of orders. A motor
man gets to a switch, falls to find the
other car, which Is a Ifcttle late, and
takea a chanca to pick It up at the
next meeting place. Then somewhere
In the woods there Is a head-on col
lision, and a lot of Innocent passengers
are crippled for life.
The suggestion Is made that all these
roads be compelled to Install double
tracks, and that the roadbeds, whloh
are largely in bad condition, be Im
proved. The Public Service Commis
sion haa been asked to take the mat
ter up, but the Public Service Commis
sion is a body that moves slowly.
City Magistrate Charles W. Appleton
Is' one of the local Judges who takea
a keen Interest In his work. He glvea
out an Interview which Is really an
"inside view" of the Police Courts.
"Inside View" of Court Given.
"In the quarrels between husband
and wife," he says. "I find that the
trouble usually arises from three close
ly related causes. Inebriety, poverty
and loss of mutual respect. When
the husband is wrong, the Court is
practically powerless to deter him. If
he Is sent to the workhouse. It Is the
family who suffers. If he Is placed
tinder bonds the prisoner cannot get
anyone to go surety for him because
he Is poor, and bears a bad reputation,
lecturing does not help. I feel that
It would be a grand thing If whipping
poMls could be Installed for wife beat
ers." "Outside of the family troubles the
most common complaints that come to
me are the outcropplngs of tenement
house quarrels. They are largely the
result of liquor and violent bursts of
temper. In the women's fights, one Is
usually as much to blame as the other.
One tries to beat the rest to Court
in order to appear as complainant In
stead of defendant. Foolish mothers
tske up the petty spats of their chil
dren In the streets and finally convert
them Into halr-pulltng matches."
Of Police Court lawyers, the Magis
trate hBS a very poor opinion. "They
usually have no Idea of their client's
contentions." he say a "and as a re
sult, only succeed In mixing things up.
Kvery Magistrate I know of Is abso
lutely Impartial In these cases, lie
wanta to bring out the truth, and In
these petty cases. Is happy If he can
bring about an amicable settlement. As
likely as not Just when he haa done
that, the Police Court lawyer Inter
feres, and starts the quarrel all over
again."
Mr. Appleton was an Assistant Dist
rict Attorney for seven years before
he became a Magistrate and made an
excellent record.

To duplicate such an orchestra. In num

go to the very best theaters In Now Tork
City, and even many of the orchestras
there are Inferior to that of the New
Helllg. travelers say. There Is no or
chestra at the Belasco Theater. New
York.
On "red-letter" nights Mr. Rosebrook
favors the audience with his excellently
played cornet solos. Ills playing Is always
received with the warmest appreciation.
Mr. Rosebrook. who Is considered one of
the best cornet players west of Chi
cago, was recently the musical director
of the Portland Symphony orchestra.
He has been cornet soloist with . the
Innes band, and has a standing offer t)
go back with Innes at any time.

Heillg orchestra will play before each

on the greater Oregon home rule bill and
explained featurea which he said have

Fred Terry and Julia Nelson appear at

Baroness Orcry and Montague Marstow
Is founded on the Baroness' novel of the
same title. While in America Mr.
Terry and Miss Neilson will appear also
In "Henry of Navarre." Only a short
season has been planned, and they will
not get out to this Coast at all. Mr.
Terry brings with him his own com
pany and the English production. "The
Scarlet Pimpernel" was first produced
by these talented actora In 1905. and
Is a tale of a band of adventurous
young Englishmen who rescue mem
bers of the French aristocracy from
the guillotine in 1792.
The art of dancing appears to grow
In public favor every year. In the
past, great singers and actors, who
could read blank verse, were elevated
to the dignity of stardom, but more
recently the woman of the nimble-toes
is coming to the fore.
Probably the most famous of all
American dnc was Carmencita, It
fell to the lot - i American. Lolo
Fuller, to Interest turope In new de
velopments of the art. and in return
England sent the late Lottie Collins, of
"Tara-ra-boom-de-ay" fame. Within the
past three years the fairy Gcnco has
come from London to awaken renewed
interest in dancing: almost coincident
has been the rise of Maude Allan, a
San Francisco girl; Isadore Duncan.
Ruth St. Denis and other members of
the sisterhood of exotic and unclad
terpsichore. Oddly enough, the last
three are all from the New World, al
though they first tocused attention in
the old.
The very newest dancing-star is
Bessie McCoy, the original "Tama
Yama Girl." now at the head of her
own company In "The Echo." Grace
ful, sinuous and charming. Miss McCoy
may be said literally to have danced
her way to stardom.
Catherine Counties, according to
Eastern papers, is making a real sen

In "The Awakening of Helena Ritchie."
in which Stair & Havlin have launched
her as a star with a fine supporting
cast and handsome scenic production,
duplicates of that used by Miss Anglin
in her presentation of the play last
Summer in Portland. One critic says of
Miss Countiss:
"Her heart appealing characteriza
tion of Helena has fixed her definitely
among the best of them."

The English Idea of "The Interview"
was lately Illustrated by a press agent
whom Sir Charles Wyndhnm imported
from his side of the water. A reporter
applied for an Interview and was In
formed "Sir Charlea Cawn't see you.
but If you will write your questions on
paper he will be pleased to answer
them If he can. find time."
The American reporter replied that
Sir Charles Ideas, views or opinions
were not essential to the happiness or
Instruction of mankind In general, and
the readers of his paper In particular.
.
Two women sitting behind me at the
theater t'other evening were discussing
the drama with a capital D.
"Aren't you Just crazy about Mr.
Hackettr chirruped one, to a running
and audible accompaniment of chewing
gum. "Oh, I like Alice Lloyd lots better,
answered tho other in what she fondly
hoped was a serious, judicial tone.
"My favorite "usta bo Maude Adams,
but I've changed now. Her plays are
too severe. I Just dote on Julia Mar
lowe, though, she wears her dresses cut
ever so much lower than any other ac
tress I ever saw. and then she's so pure.
It's perfectly wonderful the way the
papers never can attack her character
or anything."
'Yes. I know." admitted the gum
Marathonist, "I know she's a terrible
good woman. I think I seen her in
Ben-Hur. Maybe it wasn't that, but,
anyway. I don't sfem to care much for
serious players. , Who's your favor-i-t-e.
Hazel?"
And then a third voice which had
sounded no part in the discussion an
swered animatedly: "Anna Held, every
time. Why. do you know she Isn't a bit
what the papers show her up to be. I
seen a lovely piece In a magazine about
her that said she loved to keep house
and gave a whole column of receipts (she
called It re-eeets) of how to make the
swellest salads. I tried one and Arthur

In Australia, dramatic criticism finds
vent occasionally In verse. Jerrold Rob

"Pete" and "The Passing of the Third
Floor Back." A Journal published a por
trait of him and a poetic eulogy which
read.
"We saw him act In 'Pete'
And his style well, 'twas neat."
Further along the verse says:
'He doesn't lisp or 'haw'

Eileen Terry has declined a golden
offer for her appearance on the American
