THE NEW YORK AGE, THUSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. 191 the 288 music throughout the US sjslNsNi Music and ML1TKI LESTER A. i THEATRICAL COMMENT BY refusing to book Beulah as "the other woman" in the celebrated beattie case, the theatrical managers of New York City and other Eastern- cities have done themselves proud as well as rendered the public a great service for good. Had the Binford woman been flaunted before the public, with the only excuse for her appearance on the stage being that she had secured notoriety hjr the hogshead because of her convection with the murder of Mrs. Henry Beattie, there is no telling what th; moral status of vaudeville would be in the near future.

The actions of ihe managers in rejecting Beulah Binford will also hatre a tendency to discourage young stage-struck women who have an idea that notoriety and not art is the stepping stone to fame. From now on young women of prepossessing appearance will not be so inclined to figure in sensational escapades where modesty and shame are unknown and where brszcr.ntss is regarded as a virtue. While Henry Beattie was on trial for his life Beulah Binford left Virginia to come to New York, the promise having been made her by an enterprising booking agent that she would receive $600 weekly in vaudeville. Her chagrin was great when, upon reaching the metropolis, she was informed that the managers had decided that they did not want her at any price. Even the owners of small theatres declared her to be persona non grate Now' "the other woman" is said to be posing for a moving picture concern, but according to late reports a umber of managers have announced that they do not want any Beulah Binford pictures, i Crow" Law Cums Trouble.

One day last week while in Pine Blmfif, Arlc, two female members of the Southern Smart Set Company, whose homes are in the North, were given a vivid idea of what the "Jim Crow" car law, operative in many i them States, is like. The other members of the company also have a keener appreciation of the obnoxious measure a law which is regarded as ridiculous, inconsistent and un-American by all fair-minded citizens. The young women were at the railroad station and upon finding the ladies wash room for colored undergoing repairs went into the ladies wash room assigned to the white women. An officer, upon seeing the younj, colored women enter the wash room, followed them and, refusing to listen to one word of explanation, took them to the police station where they were fined $10 each. Manager Corwell was promtply notified of the farcical arrest and conviction and hurried to the police station and he was not backward about telling the jndge what he thought of the piece of imposition practiced upon the girls in his company.

He used such forcible language and made such a talk on the incongruity of Southern justice relating to the Negro, that the court reduced each fine to $3. The undue activity of the officer who arrested the two young women is said to have been unusual even in the South, as officers seldom arrest offenders for going into the wrong wash room. Uiu- uallr the person malum? the mistake when discovered is informed of being in the wrong place and asked to go into another part of the railroad sta In the case of the overzealous and officious official who arrested the performers, it is most likely that his burlesque and uncalled efforts were actuated by a desire on his part to show the fresh Northerners that they were "not keeping in their place." However, it is gratifying to learn that Manager Corwell reported the matter to the head railroad -officials, who recommended the dismissal of the flippant employee. Colored Ushers 8Uy. Patrons of Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre have noticed that for the past week the ushers of the far-famed variety house, from Chief Usher William Abernathy down, have been in an unusual jovial mood and that they have seated all holders of the little piece of cardboard with such alacrity and tprightliness of manner that many have inquired if the courteous knights of the cardboard were under the impression that it was Chriatmastioc.

But the ushers are well aware of the particular season of the year. However, there is a reason for their cheery disposition. The reason is this: Up to a few days ago it was rumored about that the colored ushers would be supplanted by white girls, who would be assigned to the task of directing the patrons to their respective seats. But the management concluded not to make a change, so the young colored men are jubilant and their faces and actions plainly indicate that they are a happy frame of mind. It is said that Willie Hammerstein is mainly responsible for the retention of colored ushers and that Aaron easier, who is next in command, coincided with Mr.

Hammerstein on the subject The idea of installing female ushers at the Victoria Theatre was first suggested this summer when a number of young women, called "suffragettes," did duty in the evening on the Victoria Roof. Somebody connected with the house suggested that the "suffragettes" be made ushers downstairs when the roof was closed, and while it appeared for a time that the management would adopt such a policy finally decided to retain the col-red rubers. Colored ushers were1 first employed at the Victoria Theatre by Oscar Ham-" aiersteln several years ago. Until the the Stage WALTON summer of 1910, George L. Archer was Hef usher, but upon leaving New York and going abroad with his act The Chocolate Drops he was succeeded by George Knox.

About two weeks ago Mr. Knox resigned and went to Washington, D. William Abernathy is now at the helm. The ushers at the Victoria Theatre enjoy the reputation of being the best in the city and of more than ordinary intelligence. Several young men nave studied for medicine and law while working at the country's leading variety house.

The ushers at the Victoria are: William Abernathy. chief usher; Gus Jackson, Henry Williams. Robert Jennings, John Nash, Hart. Basil Hart, John Sturges, -Robert Abernathy and Charles Tobias. MORE PRAISE FOR COMEDIAN.

Out in Chicago the dramatic critics are indulging in their annual effusions of praise over the work of Bert Williams. As usual. Ashton Stevens, of the Chicago Examiner, and Amy Les- i- MVntr most of their ink and space, in reviewing the LOUISE. ALSTON BURLEIGH Who Has Ben Gaining Distinction as Poet at Fashionable Summer Resorts. Ziegfeld snow to the colored come dian.

Amy Leslie refers to the big produc tion as Bert Williams and others, and says in part: At the Colonial Flo Zlegfeld'a marvelous "Follies," labeled and Uvlng up to 1911, blinds with Its splendors, delights with its unique features and altogether charms from every point of view an audi-' ence numbering many who paid as high as 820 for a seat for the extreme Joy of being In the front row to greet the annual blase of glory certain to be strewn before jaded palates wide open for folly of the Zelgfeld brand. Bert Williams, droll, quiet, self-obliterating and keenly artistic, is the big feature of the show, and the sumptuous pink and white creatures of pulchrltudinous tyrannies and fascinations proudly float about in his meek but brilliant wake. He has amazing songs, much quaint philosophy and a considerable amount more of legitimate travesty in which to display his pleasant gifts as an actor and entertainer. The crowning bit of delightful acting is accomplished by Bert Williams, the colored actor. With the very sinews of satire put into his big, expressive hands by the torn up towers of building which has interfered with traffic in New Tork for the best part of five years, Mr.

Williams completely realises that which is exactly measured, beautifully easy fun as he stands aloft and pilots to a peak of danger and an explosion a humble suburban visitor. After that Williams delivers some excellent songs, of which "That's Harmony" is a classic given with deeply reflective and philosophical repose and Immense humor. Says Ashton Stevens: Again is Bert Williams the Kohlnoor (or should it he the black diamond?) of Mr. Zlegfeld's "Follies" at the Colonial. Follies there have been all the way from 1897 to 1911.

The first were Just "Follies." The last two had art in the foolish game the black art of Bert Williams, one of the greatest comedians in character ever known to an American theatre. I was talking to John Barry-more about Bert Williams last night, and he beat me praising. The Barrymore family has not been unknown to the very best of the native stage for some generations. Its members are born to the purple of stageland. And it was the youngest of these actorlal aristocrats that said to me last night: "I'd be proud to play in a company supporting Bert Williams." And I said that I'd be proud to write the play if I had enough wit What isn't Bert Williams in the "Follies of 1911" Is mainly take-offs of plays and places that are not familiar to the average Chl-.

cagoan. Chicago has yet to see "Everywoman," which is burlesqued as "Everywlfe." What high honors are found in the performnce belong to Bert Williams, the Nobody. Something of the racial human philosophy, which so long have marked his songs, are in his deep-voiced prologues, with the band softly wall-the melody of his hard-luck epic, "No-bod-y." And we are again back to Bert Williams. He Is a new porter In the N. T.

C. depot Like the guide that precede the Alp climber, Mr. Williams has an English tourist on the other extreme of the rope around his waist Occasionally he drops him over the 1(9 feet side, and casually pulls him up, and as casually drops him again. But when he drop him over feet side, the rope goo wiin mm; there la a sodden plump from below, and then the blare of blast- lng. Mr.

Williams has lost a flve-oent tip. But he took his loss gamely, and presently was singing- "Woodman, Spare That Tree" and "That's Harmony" and doing his inimitable draw poker pantomime. The only real Somebody of the Fsllies" is s. body GIVES 8UCCE88FUL RECITAL8. Mrs.

Louise Alston Burleigh, whose poems have won much praise throughout the literary and artistic world, "has given quite a number of successful recitals this summer. During August, Mrs. Burleigh was at Green Acre, Eliot, where she was highly complimented by many college professors and lecturers from Harvard, Cornell and Yale. On September 4, she appeared with Harry Burleigh at Lake Mohony House, Lake Mohonk, N. having a very exclusive audience.

Among those present was a titled lady visiting this country from Edinburgh, Scotland. Her ladyship was charmed with the poet and is planning to have her come to Scotland next year. Beside her reading, Mrs. Burleigh is preparing to publish her first book, "Echoes From the Southland." This winter she will tour the South, reciting and singing the old Negro spirituals. Her work has been endorsed by some very prominent and influential people both here and abroad.

She has been fortunate enough to secure several engagements in Europe for the spring of 1912. She has a magnetic and charm-inflr Dersonalitv and deserves much credit for her splendid work. Although Mrs. Burleigh was born in Washington, D. New York is proud of her i ana au wish ner mucn lunirc success.

WHITE CRITIC EMANCIPATED. S. Tutt Whitney, leading comedian of the Smart Set Company, writes that the Southern critics are beginning to show more interest in colored shows and are beginning to devote more than a line or two to colored productions when they visit the large Southern cities. One critic, who is said to be one of the most rabid writers on the Negro question is said to have stopped Mr. Whitney on the street in Little Rock, Arlc, one day last week after having seen the show and conversed for nearly half an hour.

The conversation ended by the critic buying the comedian a cigar and he paid ten cents for it, too. 'H The critic whom Whitney thinks has been emancipated from the bonds of race prejudice (to some extent) wrote the following review in the Little Rock Arkansas Democrat'. Rattling funny from start to finish is the musical comedy styled "Newtown," put on at Kempners Theatre as the opening attraction of the season last night and tonight The production is by Negro collaborators and is produced by a Negro company known as "The Smart Set" but this doesn't detract the least from the merit of the comedy. You laugh till your sides ache, Just the same. The attendance at the opening presentation of the play was largely confined to the galleries and balcony, but the production is well worth enjoying by anyone who likes original comedy, good lyrics and above the average choral and ensemble effects.

The scenic effects are exceptionally good, particularly the Indian village and mountain scenes. The pretentious country village of Newtown Is also well conceived. The comedy is clean throughout much more so than many the musical comedies put on by white playwrights and produced by white companies. In short, is a good show without a chestnut in its Joke repertoire. Salem Tutt.

Whitney plays the principal comedy role and he delivers the goods every time. He Is the mayor of Newtown and he manages to "run" the town despite suffragettes, banditti and a begging parson. His inaugural address stated emphatically that he would either run the town or run everybody out of town. Whitney is a born comedian and gets fun out of all sorts of situations. One of his most original stunts is that of drilling a squad of the Newtown militia, the commands being given by grunts, nods, shrugs, facial grimaces, etc.

Each command Is well executed, the squad putting on an interesting bit of maneuvering. He has a very good singing voice and his duet with Nettie Taylor as the school teacher was one of the hits of the evening. Ethel Marshall has a really attractive voice and is graceful in her stage work. There Isn't a bad voice in the entire aggregation for that matter, and the little girl who takes the part of the Indian maiden has a delightful lyrical soprano. J.

Homer Tutt who takes the part of the classy kid, Sam Jayson, does an excellent part while the characters of parson, major and man -about-town are all well taken off. The Mexican character is also satisfactorily portrayed, while the new "Mexico" song Is both pleasing in melody and quite well rendered by Ed Tolliver. The company carries Its own orchestra, whlcV- furnishes good evening. with accompaniments that indicate splendid preparatory work before the company began the season. Thes bow will be repeated at Kempner's to-night and the advance sale of seats is reported good.

Not so bad for a critic supposed to have been of the Vardaman type. HDIT0RS MOTE. WHERE THE 8H0WS ARE. BLACK PATTI CO. Avenue Theatre, Louisville, Ky.

Stella De Mar writes that while passing through Richmond, recently she visited the Pekin Theatre, which, although a small house, is putting on good shows. Thornton and Long and Dessey and Neat are among the acts favorably mentioned. Williams and Brown are at the People's Theatre, Toronto, Can. In speaking of the act the Niagara Daily Record said "Williams and Brown are a team of excellent entertainers and keep the audience in roars of laughter with their witty sayings and funny remarks, and render a number of good songs. Don't miss them." The Fairfaxes, a new act in the East, appeared at the Crescent Theatre last week and was easily the hit of the bill.

The female member of the skit is as versatile, as she is corpulent, and she has a voice of considerable range. She also plays the piano entertaingly. The male member is rather amateurish, but should improve with age. Dockstader's Theatre, Wilmington, has refused to play colored acts for years, but this week Stewart and Marshall were sent to the house and are the hit of the bill At Monday's matinee they opened second, and at the next performance were put sixth on the bill. The Wilmington Evening Journal says that Stewart and Marshall made an emphatic hit both upstairs and down.

The success of the two young colored comedians will result in other colored acts playing the Wilmington house, which is on the big time. PUMPKIN COLORED TRIO.

formerly well known in this country in colored theatricals, who is now Sam's manager. Why I Selected Billy MacUam as Manager," is the subject of Mac Vea's dissertation, and among the many things he says: In my time I have had many managers, but the most pleasant And most successful of my undertak ings was to make Billy luac-Claln my manager. I am proud of the way he goes about and arranges my business, and I don't have to do anything but go Into the ring and fight He is a man of extraordinary talent who knows how to use It. He is honeBt, truthful, and a doer, not a dreamer. That is why I respect him.

He IS the only man that holds a contract with me to do my business in all countries for a term of years. Billy MacClain demdnstrated his managerial ability by serving as managing director of the Theatre Rennaissance and Arncs de Boxe. Bruxwells, Belgian, mastering the French and Belgian languages, where he lectured to the audience about the pictures. Introduced the boxers, etc. I went over to Brussels to work for Bill, and I tell you I was a little jealous of the fuss the people made over him, and I thought to myself: He Is the fellow for me.

If ho can make It for them, why not for me? I make good money and do very well, but I have a lot of worry, and as boxing and worry don't combine, I wired to bill to come to Paris to look after my affairs with Sam Langford. He postponed his boxing show and re- sponded to my call. It was due mainly to MacClain that I won that fight with Lang-ford which I would have lost had it jnot been for his valuable Judgment and advice.
