NKW YORK, June 11. (Special.)
Tlie latest Summer show la "AH
Aboard," :it Lw Fields- Forty
f ourtll-Street Roof Garden. The offer
Ins? Is a typical sons unl dunce and
irirl show. There are many clever peo
ple in the cast and a plentiful supply
of really funny lines and situations.
Lew Fields was at ills best, and in
a suffragette skit had the audience
shrieking: with laughter. He received
able assistance from George W. Mon
roe as a lady buss who rescues poor
betrayed mankind in distress.
Mr. and Mrs. Oarter Do Haven danced
skillfully, and Miss Zoe Burnett, an ex
cellent commedlenne, sant; well. "Sera
fina" being received with marked fa
vor. There was a clever Cubist num
ber sung; by Mr. UigTRS, Miss Holt and
Miss "Witchie. Stephen Maley, Law
rence D'Orsay and Venita Fitzhugh
were others who deserve mention for
their fine work.
A handsomer, more vivacious or more
handsomely gowned chorus has not
been seen this season, and to their
seemingly tireless efforts much of the
success is due.
With the. closing of most of the
Broadway attractions moving pictures
are taking their places. "Quo Vadis?"
has been received with favor, while
"The Battle of Gettysburg" is crowd
ing the Grand Opera-House at all per
formances. The production takes up as much
time as the average play, and gives a
surprisingly vivid presentation of the
famous battle. The stretch of country,
smoking with the clouds of powder, the
long lines of struggling horses and
men, the shouting officers and the dy
ing soldiers scattered over the hills
and valleys, make impressive scenes.
The actual horror of war Is suggested
in the pictures, with their sense of dis
tance and scattered forces of both
armies maneuvering over the fields,
which range from the valleys to Round
Top and other heights on the spot of
thCs historic struggle.
The spectacle is produced on a mas
sive scale, which would be Impossible
In the theater. It Is said that 2500
people were employed. Painstaking di
rection and a liberal expenditure of
money have done much toward making
this production one of the best of its
kind.
The great number of English actors
at present appearing on the New York
stage has caused alarm to many native
actors, and a professional club was re
cently formed, the sponsors of which
were well-known American actors, and
it is their declared purpose to restrict
the membership to "native-born"
actors.
Edward Fielding, an actor who has
won noticeable distinction on the Amer.
lean and English stage, and who is
now appearing with Madame Xaiimova
in "Bella Ponna," calls attention to
the groundless fear of an "English In
vasion" among the dramatic artists.
Art has no boundaries," Mr. Field
ing declares. "If an actor be Intelligent,
competent and able to Impart these
qualities to a role assigned him. his
nationality makes little difference ex
cept for certain requirements, tempera,
mental or otherwise. IX any weakness
liiiw nmfi -..MBFm tm i
exists in the American system, it isj
the fact that a stage aspirant really j
Is not required to prepare himself prop- I
erly for his artistic career.
"We are a nervous and active peo- ';
pie. and we like to see things done, and :
that quickly. When an actor secures!
a position he Is not content to devote
years to a study of theories and prin- j
ciples and play-acting. He immediate-'
ly wants to assume leading roles, and!
frequently this ambition Is mistaken!
for talent, with the result that within
a few seasons he or she shines forth
somewhat dimly as a new star in the
theatrical firmament. Clubs will not
remedy this evil. Only a proper appre
ciation by the player and public will
accomplish the desired result. If our
own players would profit by the ex
perience of their best stage exponents
1 7 3ffis:i,S!
and their foreign confreres, they will
at once see how vastly more important
It is to give care and study to their
profession rather than to set up a. false
cry that can only conceal for a short
time the true conditions."
The Bummer vacations of the dra
matic stars axe nearly all commenced.
Jane Cowl, who plays the principal
feminine role in "Within the Law is
in Kurcpe, but the play still continues
its run with Helen Ware In Miss
Cowl's place. In the Fall Miss Cowl
will resume her part.
David Warfield is also resting, pre
paratory to rehearsing a new play
which David Belasco will star him in
during the coming season.
Emma Trentini, star in The Fire-
fly,' has gone to Europe for the Sum
mer. Frank, McXntyre is enjoying UXej
in his Summer camp and is using a
hammock which is especially adapted
for supporting his ample form
John Cort has decided to go in for
high-priced vaudeville, and it is said
will make no new dramatic productions
next year. He plans to organize a num
ber of all-star vaudeville companies
to pla.y the $2 legitimate theaters.
Lillian Russell will lead one of the
companies, and others to be prominent
ly featured are Gaby Deslys, Harry
Lauder, Eva Tanguay and Anna Held.
Mr. Oort's new venture will not in
terfere with the arrangements he has
made with the stars who are now ap
pearing under his direction.
A New York newspaper the other day
printed pictures or the backs of seven
well-known actors and actresses to
decide a wager between A. L. Erlinger
ana All Jiayman, Charles Frohman
general manager.
Mr. Erlanger declared that it was
perfectly easy to recognize the back
of any well-known player. Mr. Hay
man said that it wasn't. They had the
pictures printed in the paper and asked
the public to send in lists of names of
the actors represented. If 20 or more
correct lists were received Mr. Hay
man was to pay for Mr. Erlanger's
wedding present to Charles B. Dilling
ham. If less than 20 correct answers
were received Mr. Erlinger was to pay
for Mr. Hay man's present to (Mr. Dil
lingham. Three or four hundred lists were re
ceived and not one of them was cor
rect. The only back that everybody
recognized was that of Miss Billie
Burke, Charles Frohman's star, who is
appearing for the first time in mannish
garb as "Tommy Belturbet in 4"rhe
Amazons."
The other actors whose backs were
shown were H. E. Herbert, Francis
Wilson, Willie Collier, Frank Mcln
tyre. Wallace Eddinger and Graham
Brown. A good many persons recog
nized Mr. Wilson and Mr. Mclntyre,
but mistakes were made even in those
cases. No one at all recognized Wil
lie Collier, whose back was mistaken
for that of "Jim' Jeffries, Corbett or
some other equally husky individual.
And young Wallie Eddinger his back
was thought to be that of Jerrie
Cohan or E. M. Holland.
Judging from advance notices the
coming season will be notable for re
vivals of Shapespearean and classic
.slays.

FUSION CANDIDATES FOR NEW YORK
CITY ARE NOW BEING CONSIDERED
William Loeb, Jr., May Ee Dark Horse
BY LLOYD F. LONEIIGAN.
EW YORK. June 14. (Special.)
N
Organizations opposed to Tarn
many control of tins city are get-
ting ready for the Kail election and
one of the first to enter the field is the
Citizens' Municipal Committee, whose
executive committee is considering
fusion candidates for Mayor and other
city offices, including the District At
torney ship, which many consider fully
as important as the Mayoralty.
Among the men who are thought of
favorably in connection with the May
oralty nomination are District Attor
ney Charles S. Whitman, who has al
ready announced his candidacy ; Bor
ough President George McAneny and
.lohn Purroy Mitchell, ex-President of
the Aldermep. The District Attorney's
excellent administration has made him
a strong vote-getter, but Mr. McAneny
is favored by many f usionists because
of his excellent constructive work. Mr.
Mitchell is also popular and is conceded
to be a strong candidate, and he is sup
ported by the Hearst element, which,
while not actively opposed to Mr. Mc
Aneny, will not indorse him if he is
nominated for Mayor.
Prendergast May Be Fonpht.
There is a disposition among the
fusionists not to renominate Controller
Prendergast, as they feel that a man
should be elected who would command
support from all anti-Tammany forces,
and in the event of Prendergast's re
nomination. Hearst would swing bin
influence against bim, and the latters
influence in city elections has always
been potent.
Close political observers generally
look for a dark horse, and it is thought
by many that William Loeb, Jr., former
Collector of the Port, may prove to be
the one. Loeb is a member of the Com
mittee of Fourteen which is consider
ing the names of candidates, but that
may not interfere with his selection if
the demand is sufficiently strong.
The members of the English polo
team who are here to take p.rt in
the international matches have started
a discussion among society people as
to whether it is possible to substitute
tea for highballs at afternoon social
functions.
The English polo players remarked
that they did not like to drink alone
when they drank tea in place of high
balls, particularly when the American
young men present were drinking high
balls exclusively. It Is said that high
balls and cocktails are dispensed lib
erally at many afternoon affairs, and
while man" hostesses appear indiffer
ent in regard to the matter, those who
have sons approaching manhood are
eager to see what can be done.
Highballs May Be Limited.
One suggestion is to limit each guest
to one highball, instructing the butler
to make just enough highballs or cock
tails to go around the party and serve
no more than one to each person. The
butler, if a guest asks for another, is
to reply that only one cocktail had
been made for each person.
Miss Lillian D. Wald, a well-known
social worker, spoke strongly in favor
of tea as a substitute for highballs

During the coming season the produc
tion with its present cast will be seen
in several of the larger cities, and the
following year it will probably make
an extensive tour of the entire country.
John Drew does not agree with the
critics who declare that the drama is
going to the "demnltion bow-wows."

with the highball habit after it has gone

first come in contact with It."
Tim Sullivan Still Active.
"Big Tim" Sullivan, one of the strong
est figures in local politics until ill
health compelled his retirement to a
sanitarium last Fall, still wields con
siderable influence even though he is
unable to take an active part in politics.
After "Big Tim" was committed to a
sanitarium his brother Patrick wanted
to have a special election called to se
lect his successor in Congress. Patrick
wished to go to Washington in his
brother's place. State Senator John C.
Fitzgerald opposed this move and the
likelihood for warfare at the Septem
ber primaries was likely. "Big Tim,"
who is staying at the farm of his broth
er Patrick, was told of the affair when
his mind was in normal condition. He
told his brother and Larry Mulligan, a
prominent Tammany man, who sup
ported him, that they were both wrong:
that he would not have a fight made on
Fitzgerald and that he Big Tim) in
tended to return to Congress himself.
Then he drove in an automobile over to
his old district with Larry Mulligan
saw Fitzgerald and made him shake
hands with Mulligan. Everything Is
peaceful now and it is announced that
Patrick Sullivan will accompany "Big
Tim" on a trip to Europe this Summer
Physicians Hope for Recovery.
Sullivan has bad spells still, when he
thinks that enemies are workin
against him, but these attacks are not
as frequent as formerly. Dr. Charles
Kennedy, one of the attending physi
clans, thinks that "Big Tim" will en
tirely recover. It was reported by the
doctors who examined Sr.lllvan in Janu
ary that he had paresis, and many of
his friends are of the opinion that while
he has shown decided improvement.
he will never be able to take an
active part in business or politics.
Felix M. Rosenstock, a member of the
senior class at Columbia, is a sufferer
from "corianserlnusabmetu," according
to a certificate signed by his physician
consequently he cannot swim the length
of the Cqlumbia University swimming
pool, and will not receive a diploma
along with the other members of his
class.
At Columbia no student can receive a
diploma unless he swims across the
pool, as required by the gymnasium
course, even if he has an excellent
scholarship standing. Rosenstock did
not worry much about this condition
until graduation time drew near. Then
he went to the physical director and
said that he had a skin trouble which
would be aggravated If he went into
the swimming pool. The physical di
rector made an examination, but did
not find anything wrong. He told Ros
enstock that only a written opinion
from his physician would convince him
not say this in disparagement of the
famous and standard old plays. They
were of their day and of their time.
It wa3 a time when the public went
to the playhouse to be entertained and
to the church for homilies. Nowadays
it would seem that the drama is aug
menting the work of the church. In a
great measure all the big successful
dramas and even the comedies of to
day are modern morality plays. Indeed
it seems to me that our stage is real and
vital force for ethical advancement."
at Parties May Be Limited to One to
sive to the untutored, but translated
from Latin into plain English It means
simply "goose flesh fronx fear."
A "thrflling rescue" was effected re
cently at a fcafe on Avenue C. Dr. Isi
dore Zippert and a number of friends
were enjoying an early morning feast
when a telephone call came for the
physician, who weighs over 300 pounds.
Dr. Zippert hurried to the telephone
booth and after much squirming man
aged to squeeze inside. The call was
from one of Dr. Zippert s patients and
the physician said that he would visit
him immediately. This was easier said
than done, for he found that it was
much easier to get in than out and he
became wedged in the narrow doorway.
His friends vainly tried to pull him out
and after nearly half an hour's labor
they desisted and brought an ax into
service. The door frame was chopped
out and Dr. Zippert, faint from exer
tion, was rescued.
