' Is winning: great prominence In the metropolis by his wonderful work. At the last Paris Salon his paintings held such a con spicuous place that It brought upon 11m the honer of being called to Buenos Ayres to execute the portraits of the President and his family. In that land Of millions he speedily acquired fame, and orders came thick and fast from the leaders of society In Republlca Argentina. In the few months that be has been In New Tork Mr. Tartoue has drawn and painted a number of prominent persons. Including a life-size pastel of Miss Margaret Ulington, the actress, who appears at the Helllg this week. Mme, Namara-Toye. the young soprano, and pastels and paintings of such per sonages as Carlinal Farley, Edmond Clement, Charles Henry Meltzer, Mme. Alda. etc. A large number of New York's society leaders have started sittings. Mr. Tartoue's work Is said to be of J5 'ex2e. Z?jr'0tj.z. an exceptional kind: His pastels give the Impression at first view of being oil paintings, so masterful - Is their treatment, and in each of his portraits. It Is said, the Individuality of the sit ter is shown cleverly. The accompanying photograph Is taken from Mr. Tartoue's pastel of Miss Illlngton and. while the beautiful color- ng of the original Is lost, it shows the remarkable likeness the artist has por trayed of the celebrated actress. NEWS AND GOSSIP OF PLAYS AND PLAYERS EDITED BY JLEOJiE CASS BAfiB, Trlxle Frlganza Is In Atlanta, Ga this week In her first week of vaude ville. Her act consists of some of the songs that have become Identified with her career. In the early Fall she be gins her 25-week engagement as one of the particularly bright luminaries at the New York Winter Garden. Trlxle lives up to her name and reputation for business acumen, in that her contract holds an important clause stipulating that she Is to be "featured" above all other members of the company, ex ceptlng foreign stars. e Although not unexpected, the news that Frederic Thompson has gone Into bankruptcy somewhat shocked his friends. It was hoped he would be able to ward off the proceedings. His petition shows a rather complicated state of affairs. His liabilities are $664,000. while there are assets of $7000. It is said that most of his for tune was lost in endeavoring to make a star out of his wife, Mabel Taliafer ro. Even "Polly of the Circus," her first play, did not yield him a profit. owing to its large operating expenses. Nevertheless, It was considered a suc cess. Vast sums disappeared on "The Call of the Cricket," "Springtime" and other plays, and It all ended In Mias Taliaferro suing her husband for a divorce. Mr. Thompson, in association with his partner, the late Elmer Dundy, built Luna Park and made Coney Is land. They brought to that resort a better class of entertainments and thereby a higher grade public. They completed a transformation in " the whole Coney Island map. The New Tork Hippodrome was conceived by Mr. Thompson, and about this time he be gan dabbling in theatrical ventures, which turned out unfortunate. He was a liberal producer and gave us some Ingenious ideas. Those who remem ber the production of "Brewster's Millions" will recall the wonderful yacht scene, while In "Via 'Wireless" he also Introduced some marvelous stage pictures. Mr. Thompson owns $1000 worth of real estate, the same amount of personal property, and the balance of his assets represent un countable bills. Mr. Thompson is a very young man In spite of bis years of activity, and there are hopes that he will begin anew and rebuild his lost fortune, e Mary Boland. who long time ago was one of that far-spreading band, the Baker players, and has since visited us as leading woman with John Drew, is playing leads with the Fealy-Durkln Company at Lakeside, in Denver. James Durkln and his wife, Maude Fealy, the Denver actress, are managing - the organization but until July Miss Fealy is resting and Miss Boland is substi tuting. Helen Collier, sister to the comedian, William, of the same name. is also of the company. A play on an exceedingly timely sub ject is that Just completed by Eugene Walter and promptly gobbled up by H. H. Frazee. The title of "the piece is "Frocks and Frills" and has tor Its theme the extravagances of modern women. The subject has been handled In a more or less sensational manner and is likely to have an early produc tion if only for trial purposes. Marlon Fairfax and her husband. Tully Marshall, are neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Cbannlng Pollock at Shore ham. L. I., which is a busy place at present, for Miss Fairfax is writing a play. Mr. Pollock Is working on the Clttton Crawford musical comedy, his wife. Ann Marble, is developing a new vaudeville act, and while Tully Mar shall is not Idle he refuses to admit that the midnight oil Is burnt over a manu script. Another country place where the pen Is working overtime Is Harmon-on-the- to do. Edgar is finishing his new play, "Partners," while Mrs. Selwyn CMar- garet Mayo) has two manuscripts under way. "The Escape" Is the title selected by Paul Armstrong for his newest "un derworld" play, now being rehearsed at the Chicago Opera House by the cast of "A Romance of the .Under world." The piece will be given trial performance at that theater some time this month, with Holbrook Blinn and Catherine Calvert In tho principal roles. Charles K. Harris, the musio pub' Usher and song writer, has adopted a novel method of starting off a new ballad. He Is going to "Import' an American song. Appropriately It Is en titled, "I Care Not What the World May Ear," and he has arranged with B Feldman. the English publisher, to bring it out first In London and after ward introduce it In America. This will be the first time In the history of American song publishing that such a scheme has been tried. Edna Goodrich and her mother sailed for London ast week to remain -alt Summer, returning In September fot the opening of Edna's vaudeville debut. Grace Cameron somehow keeps her doings before the -dear theater public. The last little note, in variety this, is Interesting Inasmuch as Grace is great favorite in Portland. This is the cabled news: "London, June 5. The majority of the American theatrical contingent backed Sweeper for the Derby - today, because he was the fa vorite. Ignoring the sentimental fact that Johnny Kleff, the American jock' ey. rode the winner, Tagalie. The only one not overlooking this bet was Grace Cameron, Melbourne McDowell has a new vau deville partner. With Jessallne Rodg- ers he is at the American Muslo Hall, in New York, this week. Mr. McDow ell's wife was the late Virginia Drew Trescott, who formerly lived In Port land. Prlscllla Knowles Isn't going to have any vacation this Summer and she has been playing every night and at two matinee performances each week for nearly three years. So far she holds the record for a continuous ana un broken season. The Academy of Mu sic stock company, of which she is leading woman, moves this week to Its temporary quarters, the Fox Theater, which is known to New Yorkers as the former Dewey. The Academy is to undergo a thorough renovation and the organization will return to it in early Autumn. Oliver Morosco, the long-distance manager, who, while operating a 'the ater In Los Angeles, keeps an eye on New York, is to manage Ave companies next season. He will place Laurette Taylor in the Maxine Elliott Theater In Peg 'o My Heart, promises a New York engagement of Richard Bennett in "Money Moon," will send Max Fig man on tour In "The Truth Wagon," will put forward "The Fox," with a new cast, and control a musical com edy called "The Man With Three Wives." Klaw & Erlanger have renewed their contract with Ribert HUliard. by which he will continue to be starred under their management for a term of years. Mr. HUliard has retired to his country home until Autumn, when he Is called for rehearsals. He will be seen next year in "The Argyll Case," a detective story for which the famous sleuth. William J. Burns, has furnished the plot. The dramatization was made by Miss Harriet Ford and Harvey J. O'Higgins. Klaw & Erlanger believe Hudson, where the Selwjrns have plentyThe Argyll Case" la a drama which will take its place beside the best of Conan Doyle's detective stories. It is full of thrills and abounds in contem poraneous human interest. E. D. Price, who is to manage the Helllg stock season this Summer, has been Mr. Hllllard's advance manager for several years. 1 Lilian Russell has visions of social leadership in Pittsburg. An Mrs. Alex ander P. Morse she will take posses sion of one of that city's oldest and most famous mansions, where three years ago the dashing society favorite, Virginia Knox, and the bogus Count Dl Montercole solemnized their tragic wedding. The old house is to be re decorated and furnished luxuriously. A vigorous campaign will be instituted In the Fall social season by the lovely Lillian. t .... .. Freddie McKay has sailed for Europe on a aeries of missions. He will confer with the widow of Alexandre Blsson over a play which he secured a year ago; then a trip will be made from Paris to Berlin to- look over the mu sical market for new songs for his wife. Blanche Ring, to be used in "The Wall Street Girl." Another mission will take him to London, where he is to ne gotiate a contract with a well-known star. Mr. McKay will return In August about the time the American delega tion of managers over there. Including Charles Frohman, Charles Dillingham, Joseph Brookns. Sam Harrison and Al Hay man, will harken to the call of "Get to work." Miss Ring will begin her second tour In "The Wall Street Girl" in September, opening in Pittsburg. - Margaret Anglln is having one of the longest tours of the current season.

Alexander, special days agent, continues to report large numbers of special days at the Oaks. Lodges, so cieties and organizations of every kind may be seen daily with largely at tended picnics.
