PROCTOR-'S THEATRE FIRE.

An Exemplification of Theatre Management.Proctor's 125th Street Theatre building In

New York City, was visited by a lire Fridayevening, May 6, while an audience of nearlytwo thousand people sat enjoying the bill thatwas being put on.. It was about 9:30 o'clock when the fire brokeout in the onice portion over the theatre. Apasser-by saw the names shooting from the win-dows in the fourth noor and quietly gave tueInformation to the manager, Harry Brunell.In ten seconds the asbestos curtain was drawnand the audience was quietly informed of thetire by both Manager Bruuell and the police,who had almost instantaneously, entered ti.ehouse and stationed the reserves in positionsto control the vast crowd that was in danger.

Timely words of warning came from ManagerBruuell the orchestra leader and Paul McAllis-ter, of the stock company. Capt. McNally, ofthe police force, rushing down the center aisle,called out, "Slowly, don't rush; I'll club ihefirst man to death who starts to run."

It was a most trying moment, but those incharge had played their part well. It was nowtime for the audience to act. Realizing thedanger of a panic and the awful results of amad rush, the audience moved quickly, butquietly from the house. It is said that In threeminutes the house was empty, and not a personreceived the. slightest injury.

As the people left the house a thrilling sceneconfronted them. Six nre engines were alreadyIn position, and were throwing streams of water

It Is reported that when he became a di-rector of the 'Winter 'Garden, Herr Kammsetzerbegan a wild life. The German papers soonfound It necessary to protest against his meth-ods. They accused him of making a wrong useof his authority as director of the largest Ger-man variety theatre. It was particularly al-leged against him that pretty performers werecompelled to appear at orgies which "KonigIm-mer Lustig" used to provide for his admirersand friends amons: the gilded youth. Two Eng-lish dancers finally complained to the proprietorsof the Winter Garden, of the manager's conduct,and charges against him began to accumulaterapidly. His suicide was the result.

LASt OF THE BOSTONIANS.

Notable Career of a Comic Opera Company ThatBegan "With Pinafore.

The dlsbandment in its present form of thecompany known for more than fifteen years ?stbp TJostonisns will bring to an end a troupeivhlch has played an Important part In the his-tory of amusements.

It was formed during the days of "H. M. S.fMnflfore," as the Boston Ideal Opera Company-nd its manager w^as a Boston woman, Miss'ih^r. who made a rpr-ord for herself as a man-is-er before her marriage to a wealthy Cleveland:la wyer. Most of the singers had not had a<*reat deal of experience In opera,

Henry Clay Barnabee had been an entertainerin lyceums through New England. GeraldrneTTimar had snne hut little In public, and Ade-laide Phillips, William Macdonald, <MarIe Stonehis wife, Tom Carl, George Frothlngham andthe rest of the company had not all made repu-tations for themselves, although Tom Carl hadsung with the Emma Abbott companies, and M>had Marie Stone.

The company -sang Pinafore, and was one'ofthe most successful of all the organizationsgiving this opera. After the vogue of Pinaforehad passed away and the later Gilbert an^ Sultl-van oneras were more rigorously protected hvlaw, the company took np such works as Futl-nltza. and Is was as one of the young: officersin this opera that Georgia "Cayvan made her firstappearance on the stage.

Geraldlne Ulmar was engaged bv D'pvWCarte to take the part of Turn-Turn In the firstAmcricsm performance of The Mikado, given byan English company at the Fifth Avpnne The"-tre. and Zelle de Lussan too^ her place ss thenrlma donna of the company. The renertotrewas then extended to Include Carmen. MJg^on,The Daughter of the Regiment and other wor^s-f>f tL klnu to exhibit ,Mlss de Lussan to advan-tage.

This attention to one member to the exclusionof the others was contrary to the rtoPcy of t>*ecompany and led to Its final disruption. ZeMerte Lussan continued with the Boston Tdeals.Hiss Ober had previously retired from the con-cern and disposed of her Interest.

Henry C. Barnabee. William Macdonnld. Jes-sie Bartlett Davis, who had later joined thecompany, George TTrothingham, and some of t^ele,ss conspicuous members of the companyformed the organization known as the Bos-tonlans. and for a decade or more It was oneof the most popular companies that toured thiscountry.

The Boston Ideal Company was soon desertedby Zelie de Lussan, who went to London to singat Covent Garden and never came back to thetroupe, which soon after disbanded. The Bos-tonlans struggled along without any great suc-cess until that lucky autumn In 1891 when theyproduced Robin Hood, which brought them agreater dearee of prosperity than they had everknown before.

During the time that this opera was the prin-cipal work In the repertoire of the comnanvmany noted singers appeared in It. CamllleD'Arville, Helen Bertram and Alice Nielsenwere some of the women.

Alice Nielsen came to her first prominence Inthe production here of The Serenade, and afterone year In the company left It to bend theorganization she called her own. This Herbertopera did more than anything else to restore thefavor of the public to the Bostonlans In otheroperas than Robin Hood. To this day there arecertain to be large houses whenever it 1» smi"'.although It Is not sufficient to furnish the reper-toire for an entire season.

It was very difficult for the company to find asuccessor to this work. Alaliily for tbut reasonthe company has during the past two seasonsbeen accounted what i» called "one night standshow."

Aike Nielsen, Canaille D'Arvllle and GraceVan StuddiforU all left the company to becomeslurs so suou as they bud made a little repuia-tion, and the coiupuuy could not l>e kept up loits old standard.

It vvus said that the partners lu the Boston-lans when it urag formed \vert; tlenry C. Bariia-Uee, William .Uacdoiiald, Jessie Bartlt-tt Davisaud Torn Carl. The last named retired from thecompany \vhi:n it was most prosperous aud gomeyears later Jessie Bartlett Davis got out. Tneyprobably fared better than auy of the others, asthey were not compelled to share auy of tiielater losses on unsuccessful productions.

Comic opera has iu auy case «U but disap-peared from tiie stage, and the Bostoubns weretoo staid to take to musical farce. So theyhave practically had only Uobln Hood to dependon. Last year the orgaiiizu tloii was convertedinto a stock company.

It is a fairly safe prophecy that the Boston-ians, If they would agtdii revive Hobln Hood be-fore the old company was altogether disbanded,could draw large audiences for some weeks.Tbeii Ue opera Is good enough to stand per-formance by a new company, which would be auovelty to the public, us there are certain rolesin the opera tnat have been always associatedwith certain sinjEe»» and have never been tmngby any others

BOB WATT.

ST. LOUIS.The opening of the World's Fair having come

and the first week past, a review of what isand what has been seen Is opportune. F'iratlet us review the opening day with an atten-dance officially of 187,000. It was a recordbreaker in this feature. That everyone whoattended was well pleased is manifested by theexceedingly complimentary comments of thehighest authorities of the United States. Skilland art is visible in every structure and exhibitthat was shown, chief of these features Is thebeautiful Cascade Gardens, with millionsof gallons of water splashing their way overthese mammoth basins and presenting a picturethat has never before been conceived or lookedupon. Yet this is but one of the many thatwe saw. A mammoth bird cage is easily an-other feature, this structure towering 180 feethigh and covering about an acre of ground.It contains every species of birds known to theworld. Then familiar to our eyes is the mam-moth Ferris Wheel, the same one we saw inChicago, only its location being better, It ap-pears again as large, and can be seen toweringover everything on the grounds. The buildingsare replete with exhibits of the highest meritand great variety, and with such a varied andartistic array of architecture, they In them-selves are worth a visit. Sectlonally locatedare the buildings of the different states of theUnited .States, and those of the foreign coun-tries, all of which have surpassed any previousefforts. :No exposition has been so completelyfavored with extensive exhibits as is this.Now we reach the Pike, the amusement featureof the exposition, and the section that no visi-tor is going to overlook. Although it will taketwo weeks to find all of these places rea-ly,their part of the first week's feature began mostencouraging. The parade of the concessionarieson opening day was a most complete successand d*d more to establish the fact that whatthey have was genuine than anv words couldconvey, Mr. Fred Cummins is to be congratu-lated upon the excellent arrangement of thisparade, which consisted of: Mr. Gaston Akonnand his Asia, Mr. Felix and the Palais Du Cos-tume. Fred Sargent and Hagenbeck's Animals.Mr. Hale and his Fire Fighters, Mr. FerdinandAkoun and his Foolish House, Mr, Joseph Hanlyand his Baby Incubator, Mr. Neimy and hisCairo and Constantinople, iMylas Murphy andhis Irish Village, Maurice Tobin and his CliffDwellers, Mr. St. Clalr and his Old St. Louis,Tompkins and his Rough Rider. Mr. Stone andhis Paris and France, Under and Over the Sea.Ancient Rome. Chinese Village. Fair Japan,Jim Kay, the Educated Horse, Hereafter. Sevil-le. Galveston Flood, Majestic Whirlpool, GlassWeavers, Tyrolean Alps, New York to NorthPole, MovlBi Palace, Boyton's Chutes, Creation.

Naval Exhibition, Battle Abbey, Russian Vlllage, The Esquimaux, Cummins Indian Congresiand Wild West. The parade stretched threimiles in length. Although only a portion o:these were ready for business, the businessdone has been remarkable for the short spaceof time open. In conclusion let it be heraldedabout that many surprises are In store for thosrthat visit the Pike. Combine ail of the aboviin your minds and then look at it at night withmillions upon millions of electric lights, andyou see a Fairyland, a heaven on earth, averitable paradise. You have never saw Hiequal, and possibly never will. It is a greatWorld's Fair, In a great city and inhabited bygreat people, an empathatic success.

THE BILLBOARD

ON THE PIKE AT THE WORLD'S FAIR.At the extreme western end of the Pike a'

the 'World's Fair Is a concession that cannoifall to 'thrill even the most phlegmatic of spectators. It Is called Bale's Fire 'Fighting Ex.blbition, and it is something entirely new in the,amusement and instructive field. It is a practical illustration of the work of skilled firemenin the performance of their, duties. A mode."engine house is in full view of the audience,and .when a large four story bunding supposed'ly situated in the center of the 'business district of New York, bursts into flames, the re-sponse to the alarm can be noted in every tietail. The firemen sliding down the poles, thequick hitch of the horses and the rushing forthof the apparatus to the scene of the fire furn-ishes a most Interesting entertainment.

Aside from the exhibition proper is a largecurio hall, in which is a collection of fire ap-paratus from all parts of the world, amongwhich Is the old hand engine which GeorgeWashington helped to draw, and which is loan-ed to Chief Hale 'by the Veteran Firemen ofRichmond, Va.

George Hale, for many years chief of thefire department at Kansas City, Mo., and theinventer of much valuable fire appliances, is theoriginator of this exhibit, he has with him Thepick of the fire department of Kansas City.Most of these men accompanied Chief Hale onhis tour of Europe some years ago when hemet and defeated in tournaments the best lirebrigades of Europe. In many instances thesemen performed the alloted task in as manyseconds as their opponents took minutes. Therecord imade by the Kansas City men In theCrystal Palace, London, has never been beat-Mi.

A restaurant with a seating capacity of 3,000people is a part of this concession.

Chief Hale has spent many years and muchmoney in this exhibition, which is certainlythe most, complete of its kind in this country, ifnot in the world.

.The attendance for the first few days sincethe fair opened, has been remarkable and visi-tors are thoroughly pleased.

The Weitz bidwas $38, 194 and the bid of the Modern SteelStructure Co. was $8,720. Mr. Weitz statedthat the present labor trouble in Des Moineswould not interfere with the work and that op-erations would be commenced at once. Fromseventy-five to one hundred men will be employedon the building.

The successful street fairs held in Gallatin,Tenn., the past three years have led lip tothe organization of the 'Sumner County Fair &Sale Association, of which ;Brnest B. Chrlsman,is secretary, and its first annual fair will beheld August 31-Sept. 2. The ampitheatre andbuildings will be first-class In every particular,and the premium list will be the most liberalever offered in this section. Fake games andsideshows will be wholly and entirely elimi-nated, but the association is now ready to en-gage two or three special attractions, and partieshaving something that will draw the people.and are clean and wholesome, might communi-cate with him.

Prosecutor Ulery, of Toledo. Ohio, has beeninstructed by the county commissioners to bringsuit to recover the fair grounds from the ToledoExposition Co. The action is brought at "herequest of the Lucas County Agricultural So-ciety. The exposition company has a 15-yearlease on the property which consists of 52 acres.It Is claimed that the lease is invalid, In thatthe county commissioners never signed it. Thecounty is not getting a cent of taxes or rentfrom the property. Aside from this, it Is heldthat the terms of the lease were not followed Inthat the fairs as Intended were not held. The agri-cultural society is anxious to get possession ofthe grounds for fair purposes, but the commis-sioners think it might be cheaper to sell theproperty and secure a cheaper site.

OBITUARY.Clifton P. Weaver, manager of Willow Grove

It is rather surprising to learn that the vastexpanses of British Columbia have become prac-tically denuded of game of all kinds, and thatit has been necessary to start a preservationsociety in that once prolific game country.

What Is still more surprising and ironical isthat the sportsmen forming the association havehad to come to England for game for restock-ing purposes. Mr. W. Cross, the Liverpool nat-uralist, has been commissioned on behalf of theAmalgamated Game Association of the Mainlandof British Columbia, as the new association iscalled, to send a large stock of English and Hun-garian partridges, the first batch of which willarrive at the end of this month. As the cli-mate and the seasons in British Columbia aresimilar to those of this country, there is littledoubt that the feathered aliens will soon becomeas Indigenous to the country as were their ex.terminated predecessors. If they are given achance they will accumulate twentyfold an-nually.

This Is understood to be but the beginning ofa big scheme for restocking the land with va-rious kinds of game. At one time it was theeasiest thing in the world to stalk off five or sixgood bucks with fine heads in one day in theneighborhood of Okanazan and Vaseux lakeswhile puma, grizzly, cinnamon bear, moose'caribou and wapiti abounded In the country butthere is now scarcely anything left to shoot at

Probably the next step taken by the new as-sociation will be to import the Sllka deer, a Jap-anese variety, which now roams over most ofthe English forests. Two pairs of these deerwere recently sent by Mr. Cross to Madrid toK,lnS Alfonso of Spain, where they will beplaced in the royal forests.—Daily Mail.

Saturday, May 14. 1904.

In spite of the year's grace obtained by thepostponement, THE ST. LOUIS WOKLD'S FAIRWAS NOT EEABY ON TIME. It Is not readynow and reliable parties who visited the opening,have gone home and told their friends that itwill not be ready before the middle of Juneor the first of July.

These reports are undoubtedly exaggerated,but they can not be headed off now. The damagehas been done. There will not be paying at-tendance until July 4, and all by reason of astupid mistake.

The managers should have profited by the er-rors of the other great fairs. Not one wasever ready on time and all have suffered severe-ly In their early days on this account. It wouldhave been Just as easy to be ready a month toosoon as a month too late. All that was need-ed was the exercise of a little foresight and"firmness.

The theatrical season, which is now rapidlydrawing to a close, has been the most fearfullydlsasterous in a decade. Not since that of1893-94 have we experienced anything like It.Let us hope that another one is (at least) tenyears off.

EDDY FOY.(See first page.)

Eddie Foy, the principal comedian of F. C.Whitney's Piff, Faff, Pouf, the present showat the New York Casino, like many other prom-inent players, got his first stage eyperiencewith a minstrel company. He began as an endman with "Billy" Emerson's Minstrels in SanFrancisco. From San Francisco he jumped toPhiladelphia, where for three years he was theend man and monologlst with Carncross' Min-strels. His next experience was in stock workin San Francisco. He played the low comedyroles in the old San Francisco stock Company,which, among others at that time, containedsuch players as Maude Adams, Miss Jeffreys-Lewis. E. J. Buckley, Frank Mordaunt and Geo.Osborne. Later be supported George S. Knight,the famous German comedian in. Over the GardenWall and Baron Rudolph. His next engagementwas with Kate Castleton In Crazy Patch. Forthe next seven years he created the principalcomedy roles in the David Henderson extrava-ganzas and spectacles in Chicago. His greatsuccesses in All Babi, Sinb-ad, Aladdin, etc.,are well remembered. In later times he nasplayed engagements In company with Matthews& 'Bulger and Dunne & Ryley. Later, on Broad-way, he hag been seen In The Wild Rose, TheStrollers and Mr. Bluebeard. It is only fairto say that Mr. Foy Is now at his very best InPiff, Paff, Pouf at the Casino. His very ap-pearance Is hailed with shouts of delight andloud hand-clappings. As Peter Pouflle in this1

play, he Is a stranded actor, who has posedfor a picture and testimonial of a swamp rootremedy.

CONTEMPLATED CHANGE IN CONTROL OFLONDON PLAYHOUSES.

As an outcome of recent difficulties affectingthe London Opera Houses, it is not improbablethat the licensing power, and with it the reg-ulation of places of amusement, may be trans-ferred to the Home Office. At the Lord Chamber-lain's office, some new rules for the protectionof audiences, are under consideration, and theHome Office is being consulted.

Considerable anxiety exists with regard to thenew regulations, which will be put forward npxtOctober. It is said that Lord Clarendon hasno desire to be antagonistic to managers, andthat, on the contrary, It Is his earnest desireto consider their Interests and wishes in bring-ing about a complete and amicable arrangementwhile securing the effects aimed at.

It had been stated that standing-room wouldin the future be prohibited in theatres, but it isunderstood, from a well Informed source, thatno such rule Is In contemplation. Sitting orstanding in gangways will not be permitted,but managers had no idea of protesting againstthat; rule.

New rules have long been a source of expense,and the majority of managers would gladly FeeLord Chamberlain Insist on the rights of hisoffice ;ind keep the officials of the T.ondon CountyCouncil within their own sphere of authority.

Curious reading, a manager points out, maybe found In the rules issued on March 1 to own-

ers of premises licensed by the Council. Rule34 says that "smoking must not be permitted Inthe auditorium, if the premises are used tordramatic entertainments." That rule, it isasserted, would stop smoking In music-halls, aclaim which even theatre managers do not wishtc see enforced.

Joseph Jefferson's son William once had ahabit of being something of a spendthrift. Onthe occasion of a trip abroad his funds, whichwere supposed to be ample, had a habit ofgiving out with mysterious frequency, when itwould become necessary to call upon his fatherfor a renewed supply. These pitiful appealsfor aid were endured patiently and responded tomost promptly for a time, but at last parentalauthority began to exhibit itself, and, insteadof a remittance, came a "cable" which read:"What for?"

The reply was swiftly cabled across the wa-ter; "For Willie." — New York Commercial.

"The Inside Inn," the only hotel within thegrounds of the World's Fair, erected under «contract with the Exposition management,which recommends its service and stipulates itsrates, has been selected as the Association bead-quarters during the Convention. The rates atthe "Inside Inn," European Plan, are $1.50 to$5.50 per day, American Plan $3.00 to $7.00 perday. A booklet descriptive of the "Inside Inn"is sent with this circular; it gives full informa-tion as regards rates and how to reserve ac-commodations. Those who reserve rooms at anearly date will have choice of rates, not thatthe rates will be advanced, but there is onlya limited number of the lower priced rates andthey are being rapidly taken by organizationssimilar to ours who reserve the bulk of theiraccommodations in the lower priced rooms; thelower rates will give perfectly pleasant andcomfortable accommodations; difference in priceis controlled entirely by the size and locationof the rooms. The smallest rooms are 10x12and have ample comfortable accommodations fortwo people.

The advantage to be derived from securing ae-" commodatlons inside of the Exposition grounds

is that no time need be lost In going to andfrom the city to attend the meetings, no extraexpense for transportation and admissions, andthat between sessions1 of the Convention all timecan be devoted to viewing the Exhibition ex-hibits.

Those preferring hotel accommodations ont-slde the Exposition grounds, or in the city, canfind ample accommodations at the numeroushotels and boarding houses advertised by theWorld's Fair Information Bureau, :ln a bookletwhich gives capacity, prices, etc.

(Special to The Billboard.)Sir Henry Irving arrived home April 5, and

after a short rest will start on a provincialtour..

This only emphasizes the fact that, for eventhe beat talent, long metropolitan engagementsare not profitable, as in the end they almost in-variably have to go to the country, ror sometimesmvariauly Slave to the country, for sometimesmuch-needed financial support. Tony Pastorused to take bis annual tour, likewise Nell Bur-gess, Lew Doekstader, Weber & Helds and oth-ers I might mention, have had to Me themselvesEo the land of Che "Yokes" for monetary aid.

London is avowedly the home of ballets andwhere the vast army of fairy-like dancers arerecruited from, that appear in the immensespectacles of old Drury Lane, the Alhambra,empire, and others, has often puzzled me, but 1was enlightened on the subject recently by tak-ing a stroll through tne densely-populated EasttSide. A street piano was playing and armiesof ragged children were to toe seen in themidst of all 'kinds of 'intricate dances from thetoe-whirl of "le grande €oryphee" to the popu-lar cakewalk.

Earl's Court opens with the Italian Bxhlbl-tion, May 11. Among the attractions will be aminature reproduction of Venice with its pict-uresque canals, gondolas and gondoliers.

The West Side is to have a new expositionbuiklin'g at Shepherd's Bush Green, near theWestern terminus of the "Trippenuy tuibe,"under 'the management of Mr. L. Jilralfy.

Charles Meredith, of the advance staff withBuffalo Bill's Wild West Show has been quiieill with pneumonia, but is improving slowly.

Col. Mike Coyle, assistant manager of thesame aggregation is also on the sick list, havingcontracted a severe cold.

"Teddy" Tudor, who has been a fixture withthe Wild West Show for a number of years,mourns the loss of his son, Teddy Jr.; aged 18months, who died April 10, of convulsions causedby teething. Mr. and Mrs. Tudor have the heart-felt sympathy of ail who know them, la theirsad bereavement.

There is a new star Ja the bright constella-tion of stars. This particular star, a bouncingseven pounder, arrived at the home of AlfredD. Starr, treasurer of the Wild West Show, inLondon, April 6. I am pleased to state thatmother and child are doing well. The fathersteps rather highly just now, but toe can scarce-ly 'be blamed as this Is his first-born.

Harry Hondini, "iGoal breaker and band-cuffking," finished his lengthy engagement at theHippodrome the 8th, and was to have opened atNew Castle the llth, but Is lying very low withmalarial fever at the Hotel Province. When Icalled on April 12 bis temperture was 102 de-frees- PYBAMUS.
