One such company visited and put cut a line of printing designed to excite the anticipations of the unsophisticated men of the town. The result, however, was.

to excite the women, too, and they banded together to protect their homes and firesides. When the time arrtved for opening the doors Of the theater the manager of the, company was astounded to find company, la to be hailed as "a fin-l" of the. season.

V-vH f-f 1 Anent this subject, the New York World says: The "new type" of chorus girl has arrived and -she Is the pick of the If the theatrical press agent Is to be believed: There have been attempts In the past to change chorus "types," but usually "she was the same old girl with -a different aurl and a new, big, wide-brimmed hat," as the song runs, or, a the Broadway versa maker wrote: Her hair at flrt -as' lovely brown; She yellowed It, next, yeur. And then she changed It to a red, And now it's black 1 hear. But this "newest'' type is not hade up of the same old -girls who have flashed their dainty toes at the glistening domes In the front row year after year. Honest She Isn't even a. New York girl! What? No, she is the attempt of Charles Frohman to' give Broadway realism In the chorus as welt as in the ao-tlon and In the.

dialogue and In the scenery in his coming musical production, "The Girl from Montmarre," wtth which Richard Carle and Hattle Williams will -open the theater next-month. Mr. Frohman returned from London recently and saw a rehearsal of the chorus selected. "It 'won't do," he 'declared. "It's Just the same kind of a chorus that people have been seeing year after year.

We've got' to have something new. If our scenes call for simple little country girls and -bridesmaids and the like we've got to have the real, thing." So telegrams were sent all over the country- to local managers to scour the towns for the" best looking, most Ingenuous types available, experience not necessary.

There men and their colleagues proceed entliely differently their routine from the method in vogue In the big syndicates of theaterdom.

The bitterness of feeling, tha. serious competition ird the effort tq get ahead of each other may exist, but woe to him who permits piracy, or who suffers his brother managers to become identified with any retrograde movement.

"Influence of modern burlesque on the Theatrical Season," Is the head- inir of Jin article by' Robert Grau, the I most interesting points of which are given ueiow; It does not seem so long ago that burlesque stood In this country for all that Was indecent and inferior, Burlesque history Is replete with police raids and surely those who can recall These" men and their colleagues pro- the vogue of the "can can" need not be told of the low calibre of the stage presentations In burlesque -theaters up to the advent of the two worthy or ganizations of business men who how have endowed the burlesque field by business methods far superior to those prevailing In any branch of the field of public entertaining. Progress alone could not account for the rejuvenation of burlesque; the transformation goes far deeper. Men like James L. Kennan, Charles Wal- about twenty eagle-eyed and determined ladles lined up along the sidewalk each with a notebook and pencil In hand. Nothing was said not word but every furtive male sneaked along toward the theater, the ladles promptly prepared to write his name In their little books.

The effect can be No man dared tha One look at the line of stern female faces and the' poised pencils was enough in every case. Whether he had a. ticket or not, the guilty wretch suddenly discovered that he had business elsewhere, and fled out of the neighborhood. The curtain was never rung up that night and all the money the company got was from the advance sale. The ladles went home with-books, blank, and proud consciousness that they bad done their duty and won.

It Is by the author of "The Devil" Henry W. Savage will have twelve attractions the coming season, most of which will be ready for production before the first of November. The lilt will include "Somewhere Else," a musical fantasy by Avery Hopwood and Gustav Ludors, a new farce by Ruport Hughes, author of "Excuse "Ten Million," two companies playing "Excuse Me," "Little Boy Blue," and several revivals of former successes. John Cort will have two new theaters next season, one In New York and another In Boston. The list of his attractions includes Mme.

William Brady has produced a number of new plays during the spring and summer and as nearly every one of them proved a success, he has decided to continue them during the coming season, at least for a while. "Th Best People," which met with success in Chlcngo, is one of the plays.

Another; a farce by' Philip Barth-olomae, entitled "Little Miss Brown," was well received When, produced In1 Cleveland a short time ago. "Within the Law," which was tried out In Chicago some time ago, with Emily Stevens in the leading- part, James Mont) gomery's "Ready Money," and "Just Like John," the new drama by George Broadhurst, will also be continued. I'aexpeeted Problem at Paaama. A most curious question has arisen In connection with the locks at Qatun and Mlraf lores, which open on the sea level sections. When these locks are filled to the next, higher level the additional water comes from Gatun lake or Mlraflores lake.

That is to say, the added water Is fresh. A fair statement would be that all the water In these locks when full Is fresh from the sea level up. Suppose now that a ship has entered one of these locks with the purpose of descending to the sea and that the gate to the rear has been closed Suppose, further, that communication with the sea level sec tion of the canal by means of tha great 18-foot discharge culvert and all subsidiary culverts has been opened up. Because of the hydrostatlo head supplied by the fresh water In the lock-chamber a rapid discharge' will begin. But when will It cease? Undoubtedly it will cense.

when the hydrostatic head outside and inside the lock chamber become, in point of pressure, But since the water Inside the chamber is much less salt than outside, and consequently, possesses a lower specific gravity, the equalization of pressure will occur when the water level Inside Is higher than that outside. In other words, the flow will cease before the levels are equalized. A difficulty would then arise, It Is conceived, In' connection with the opening of the gates the pressure being different on the two sides. It' is held that by depressing the discharge culvert to a possible point the difference In pressure csn be reduced to ft manageable amount, or even to zero. The presence of tidal effects must also be taken frinto account.

The result of an Investigation Into tha matter has been the recommendation to place the whole faces of the discharge culverts In a horizontal plane and to locate them at 21 feet below the sea level at Gatun and at 25 feet below at Mlraflores.

Stark Anally realizes who Gale Is, and tells Burrell, who has fallen In love with Necia, supposedly the daughter of Gale.

Burrell thinks, that Necia Is a half-breed, end fears his family will disown him If he marries her, he asks her to. be his wife.

It is a "find" and the name thereof is Eda Von Luke not a bad name to start with, as usual, this aspirant Jor fame was discovered In a atock company. The Dramatic Mirror says 'In part: i.Sonnjpue has remarked that the discovery of an actress is as problematical as the discovery of a mine; either Is expensive to exploit, and the vein of gold Is apt to be more obvious than deep.

None the less, the minor goes into ecstasies over the latest discovery that Is to make his fortune, 'and the theatrical manager glories confidently In his latest "And," unperturbed by thoughts of the lost "finds" of yesterday. This delightful spirit of optimism leaves him perpetually open to conviction, equally It leads to the- curtailment of summer vacations to permit of a hopeful quest for genius mothered- in stock. During the past few months David Belasco has been scouring the east In search of stock players suited to his productions; other managers, 'more have been" doing the Same and a little in the season results should be evident. Reports valuable additions to the ranks of way players havi the habit of dying soon after their birth, they arouse as much skepticism as Interest that Is, until they become persistent until a repetition of the same story suggests that, perhaps, there is some thing In it after all.

Brady, already Interested extensively In the silent drama, has gone, abroad to secure the film reproducing the Olympian games.

reminder of ''Everyman" "Every- woman" and "The Passing of the Third Floor Back." It is "Man's Genesis." It deals with men's estate before there was the first vestlgle of Intelligence. Indeed, the picture's purpose, seems to beto advance a tneory to account ror ine nrst glimmer of reason in the human brain. That a drama of love and. hate, with a conflict of passions and the triumph of the weak, aided by a spark of In telligence, over the strong, depending only on brute force, could be successfully evolved in a motion picture, Is little short of marvelous In itself. But still more-marvelous is the fact that the picture story thus evolved Is In tensely gripping and fascinating to iook upon -even by tne mor, ordinary classes or spectators.

It will be Interesting to repeat brief. ly the ptory of this exceptional picture play, and at the same tlrao note how the producer has made a dry threme throb with life and has converted a sybject of supposed interest only In the classroom to one of absorbing as an incident of entertainment By so doing, we may discover more clearly tho wonderful power pf the dramatic motion picture In directions little considered by the public and scarcely dreamed of by at bsast a part or me gentlemen who are actually In tne business or making motion pic Indeed, the lamentable lack of vision and imagination of so many of the later picture producers might be somewnat dispelled If they nould seize some opportunity to see and study the film called "Man's Genesis" and others like It. It Is possible that bv so dn. lng they might come to realize in Just a small dgree how utterly far behind they are In their conceptions of what constitute, dramatic motion pictures. Here is the story of the Man's Genesis as the Spectator reads It.

In the beginning, before man had brains beyond those of the dumb animal, ho fought only with his hands jwd feet and lievd In cavs. Ho protected h's body with coverings of grass (the one Inconsistent detail of the story, introduced, no doubt, as a concession to decency). The males and females c.f the species Stood partly eroct, carried their arms and hands at curious, crooked angles, and lived on nuts. Lily White, a female of than the mon attractiveness became an orphan and was appropriated by Weak Hands, a male of less than the normal strength. He carried her off to cave, but she was coveted also by Brute Force, who threw Weak Hands down a treacherous cliff with a force that nearly killed him.

Then Brute Force carried the female to his own cave, while Weak Hands nursed his wounds alone. Dumbly groveling in his cave Weak Hands happened to press a stick into a hollow stone. The stone clung to stick and bceame a weapon. Weak Hands Idly hit the stone-headed club against his leg and It hurt. Surprised, he hit It against his wrist and head, and learned th.it they also hurt Smarting still under the loss of his female captive, and from what we may take as a primeval indication of human love, his brain evolved a dumb and this thought, was that with the atone weapon ha was a match for- Brute Force.

Iive or lust, as you will, backed by the advantage of the weapon, gave him courage and he sallied forth to recover his bride. A blow on wrist dlaabled-lhehando Brut?
