personator, who has long been successful

are marble statues."

don, alnd although Barile's TVhat Every
W1oman Knows is packing the house at
i'ery performance, it has got to give way
at Christmas for the bov who wouldn't
grow ip). Mlr. Frohian is making ar-
rangements to move Wthat Every Wo:nian
Knows to another theater during the run
of Peter Pan.
Henry TV. Savage has disposed of the
English rights in The Devil to Robert
Courtneidge, who will produce it in Lon-
don as soon as the necessary arrange-
ments can be made.     Oliver ITerford's
version of Ferenc Molnar's masterpiece
was played for copyright purposes at Bir-
nlingham as far back as April last, and
Mr. Courtneidge announces his intention
to guard against any infringement of the
rigilts thus established in this country.
B. A. Rolfe, the vaudeville producer,
sails for Europe Nov. 17 to open offices
in London. le is taking with him his
Colonial Septette, which is called the
pioneer musical act of America. This act
at its production was tile first one of the
so-called big acts in vaudoville, to cos-
tume itself elaborately and to carry a
car load of scenery. It seems as if the
English field was going to lie invaded by
Americans, as Joseph    Hiart sails for
Erliope the same week.
In at offeial statement frot the offices
of Villiam Morris. ITnc., in refeene to a
poliev on Tautder's life for £13I3G, it is
statd that Mr. Morris pays Lauder
,100.000 for twenty weeks, the Scotchman
diawing a salary not only for wlen lie
plays, but diuring the time that he is on
the ocean coming from Enland and re-
tining. Despite tills, it is Mr. Morris'
ieliof that he will clear a sum equal to
the salary paid Latder on his American
engagement.
A European not reconilv imported by
Martin Be-k, which is making a good im-
piession in the west is The Ravlons. who
present a novelty. In the Realm of tile
Alligator. which foreign writers enthusi-
astically arccliirl as something entirely
new ill the contortion line. They' anpear.
as the title sugests. as alligators in tile
depths of a tropically climatic forest and

tortions without being in ant' way in-
sightly or unattractive.

claimed as Europe's most accomplished
z*lophonist and concertinist; lie is a jug-
gler of continental reputation, and an ac-
robat of note. Iilagine a novelty con-
taining these three achievements, and ain
idea is gained of Francini-Olloms offering
which has been a much-talked-of success
in Europe. He opens here in December.
It is annotinced that Elsie Ferguson,
leading wornan with Edgar Selwyn in
Pierre of the 'lains, was married several
months ago to Frederick Toey, the son
of the late John toey, vio was the presi-
dent of the Adams Express company.
He is exceedingly well known in New
York, although his home is in West End,
N. J., where lie is an extensive real es-
in.te operator. Mr. Hoey first met Miss
Ferguson shortly after her graduation
from The Liberty Belles.
S. A. Grubbs, known in the vaudeville
profession as Onnip, has applied to the
Inited States court in Boston for the ap-
pointment of a receiver for Onaip, incor-
Ierated.  Inm his petitioni Onaip states
that the other menbers of the corpora-
tion. Messts. Patterson, McAfee     and
Morris. have retained the funds of the
concern fill] refuse to pay salaries and
legitimate 'xpeises of the act. Onaip
incorporated himself and the others last
sumimer in order to produce his 1ypnotij
and illusion at. wilhl  made a sensation
in vauimideville. He is playing at the ait-
nlial Fond Fail-, Boston.
The present craze of dancing is not con-
fined to the east aecording to reports from
Orpheum houses in the west, where Am-
erican and foreign dincers are received
with reomaikable sucess and apilna.-
There has ieen no d1ind apparentl .y for
lh  Saloie or near-nude type, but the

most proinliar of aill the iets. Among
those wl are aclieving ntable suceesses
