That he has championed their cause in true American fashion cannot be denied. Women have been ennobled and motherhood and ties of home recon secrated through his life-long crusade in their behalf.

S. K.

Hodgdon, manager of the B. F. Keith Vaudeville Exchange, said yes? terday that the proposal to place Mr. Bryan on the circuit had been con? sidered by the managers of the leading vaudeville houses oi' the country, with the result that they concluded it would not be a good financial venture. Thc proposal came from Evangeline Weed, a vaudeville agent, who said the 1 lan had been pending for a year.

She said that Mr. Bryan consentcd to go into vaudeville and only last Friday telegraphed her that he would "con? sider a contract." The objection of the vaudeville man? agers was that Mr. Bryan, appearing before the footlights in an evening oress and delivering a twenty-minute cration, would not appeal to an au dienco which came to enjoy acrobatics, prestidigitation and songs and dances, and that thc mere presencc of the name of the former Secretary of as a "top-liner" on the billboards would not warrant their paying $1,500 a week salary. Comedy in Proposal The proposal t0 "book" Mr. Bryan and his rejection by tlie managers form a comedy.

which, according to the principals in the ncgot iat ions, was something like this: Dining room in a Poston hotel a year iiKo. Mr. Bryan and Miss Weed se'ated at a table. Miss Weed Mr. Bryan, I am plan ning to open a vaudeville agencj in New York.

How would you like lo give me an option on your services for 1910? Mr. Bryan -Well, I've been in al? most everything else, I suppose I might as well go into that. Let me know about it. One year later. Scene, -Miss Weed's ofTico at 1402 Broadway.

Miss Weed sends the following teiegram to Mr. Bryan, who is in Baltimore: "Will you still consider my proposal ti. go on the vaudeville circuit?" Mr. Bryan's reply: "Will consider contract. Will be in New York within a fortnight." Rumor spreads on Broadway that Mr.

Bryan is going to cnter vaudeville. Even "Drys" Protest Mysterious stranger, streking a long, dark, villanous looking mustache, enters Miss Weed's office.

Ono telegram I sent to Ash land, X. and that had to be for warded to Baltimore.

A short time; later the rumor was on Broadway. Then a man, whose card I have, came to me and said he represented the Pro- hibition party. He protested against. Mr. Bryan going into vaudeville, bo- cause, he said, it.

would harm the cause. "I am much disappointed that tho re? port, of Mr. Bryan being turned has become public. Bul, I still have. other hopes." They aro Frederick Mrs.

Lord Dun- sany's "Laughter of the Gods," Cale Young Rice's "A Night in Avignon" i and Maxwell Perry's "Stingy" are the plays on the first bill. The company in support of Mrs.

Fiske in her forthcorning play, "Mis', Nelly of N'Orleans," has grown to in-j clude Frederick Burt, Georges Reva- vent and Irene Haisman. Lee Kugel has in preparation a play by Maravene Thompson, entitled "The Net." The leading role will be played by Kathleen McDonnell, who was fast; seen here with Robert Hilliard in "The Pride of Race." Roi Cooper Megrue is at work on a sequel to his comedy, "Tea for Three," which he has named "Coffee for Four." Ethel, a person mentioned in "Tea for Three," but who never ap pears, does appear in this play, mak? ing the fourth character.

Sainuel Rothapfel to Join Ranks of Film Producers Resigns Management of Rialto and Rivoli; May Euter Goldwyn Corporation Tho name of Samuel L. Rothapfel, who holds the distinction of having in troduccd the motion picture show de orchestra and everything to New York, will soon be seen in thc space which follows "Produced by" on thc products of a large film corpora? tion.

This statement was gathercd from a reliable source yesterday following the resignation of Mr. Rothapfel as man? ager of the Rialto and Rivoli and thc appointment in his place of Hugo Rie senfeld, who has been acting as mu? sical director of the two theatrcs. Exactly what company is going to havo Mr. Rothapfel's services has not yet been rovealed. The prevalent ru? mor, however, is that it is the Gold wyn corporation.

Mr. Rothapfel only recently having returned from a circuit tour with the owner of that organiza? tion. Mr. Rothapfel's introduction to mo? tion pictures came when a saloon in Forest City, in which he was employed as barkeeper, found it neces? sary to install movies in the place of certain cabaret features. This made him an operator.

Afterward ho beeame a manager; then an owner. His, advent to New York followed the success he had made in the last named capacity in Milwaukee and Minneapolis. The appointment of Mr. Riesenfeld as Mr. Rothapfel's successor shows the value now placed upon the idea to which the former manager attributod the success of the theatres he created the combination of better class pict? ures with better class music.

Twlre Po THE BEAUTY TRUST, IPrl, "Blue Sky" Law for New York Proposed Bv Senator Black Investigation of Activities of Crooked Brokers in Lib? erty Bond Deals Con vinces Him of Its Need A "blue sky" law to curb thc ac? tivities of dishonest brokers and pro? moters of wildcat corporations is a possibility for N'ew York State as a result of investijrations by District At? torney Swann into the activities of crooked brokers in forcinjr down the price of Liberty bonds. Such a bill will be introduced in the Legislature by State Senator Loring M.

Black, of 120 Broadway. Mr. Black in a letter written yesterday to Assistant District Attorney Brogan. of the Bureau of Commercial Frauds, said he bclieved the time ripc for the right kind of law to put a stop to these practices. "A great many of the states of the Union have such laws, and I have read a large number of them." Senator Black wrote.

"Some of them seem very drastic and appear to be hin- drance to legitimate business. This is a situation 1 wish to avoid, as de sire to help legitimate business, "From a reading of 'these acts Ii thought ihat the proper course would: be to provide for some sort of state i departrnent which would hava to be self-supporting, due to the heavy bur den of taxation under which the state is now 'aboring. Such a department should have something of tho functions of the present Federal Capital Issues "1 would be pleased to have your suggestions concerning the present business laws of the State of New York, as well as the penal sections re ferring to commercial frauds and cheats, which seem to me to bc in need of reinforcemer.t. I know your ex- perienco in the State Banking Depart? ment and as head of the Bureau of, Commercial Frauds in this county has i brought to your attention the weak points in our present laws, which seem to permit a great prevalence of com? mercial frauds and cheats. all of which discourage honest men and divert necessary capital from legitimate in- dustry." Rcgarding the need in this state of a "blue sky" law, Assistant District Attorney Brogan said: "Thirty-one states have such legisla? tion.

It is high time that New York followed suit. Probably from 60 per cent to 75 per cent of the fake concerns which might be reached by a 'blue sky' luw either have their main office or a branch office in Xew York City."

IN GREAT NUMBERS FIFTH AVENUE at FORTY-S1XT1I Boheme." With Caruso, Draws Big Matinee enee at Metropolitan While thc subscribers at the Metro? politan Opera House undoubtedly need Mr.

Enrico Caruso, Mr. Caruso's need is bj no means the same. Let the! great tenor's name go up on the bill- i board, and, subscription or no subscrip tion, the house is ftlled. This was the case at the special matinee of "La Bo? heme" yesterday, when Mr. Caruso sang Rodolfo.

He has sung better and he has sung worse. but. the worst of Mr. Caruso being something which any other te.nor would be happy to attain, every one was saiisiied. Rodolfo's three musketeers were on this occa sion Mr.

Monteiwtnto, Mr. Segurola and Mr. Didur. Owing to Miss Ro mainc's illness, Miss Leonora Kparkes was the Musetta. Mme.

Alda Bang Mimi and Mr. Papi was in the con ductor's stand. The evenine; opera was "La Traviata," given in place of "Crispino la Comare," had to be because of the illness of r. Scotti. Mme.

Hempel was the Violetta, Mr. Crimi the Al fredo and Mr. De Luca the Germont. Mr. Moranzoni conducted.

Vahrah Hanbury, a young singor unknown to Xew York audiences, gave a recital yesterday afternoon at Aeo? lian Hall. Miss Hanbury has a voice and a temperament, but of neither is she yet a mistress. Her voice is of excellent metal and in the uppcr por tion of her scale powerful and well do veloped. Her middle register is by no means thc equal of her upper and her breath support was often insufficient. Her best singing was perhaps in Staub's "L'Heure Delicleuse" and in Faure's "Fleur Jetee," the latter of which she gave with real power.

She is a singer of evident possibilities, but one who has yet to learn much in tha art of her voice, to learn the secrets of nuance and tone color. G. V. Can Toys, aricature of Ex-kaiser. Sjhown liy Art AUiance The Kaiser and his crew have been "canned" at lasi in an exhibition of tin can toya now displayed at Art Alliance of America, li' East Forty sevenih Street.

A caricatUM of the ex-Kaiser is made from a to mato can. a paste jar and a varnish can. The Crown Prince looks partic? ularly glooray, composed of pottvd chicken and pea soup can, and Voo Tirpitz, whiskers and all, is slightlj higher distinction, being made of a talcum powder can Huidcn burg's girth is a baked bean can and his Lead suggests the squareness of his type in a shaving stick holder. Edward Thatcher, an instructor at Teachers College. Columbia I sity, originated these ingenious toys for use in oceupat ional therapy.

A letter from one of his pupils, who is now instructing in France. tells how grateful the wounded soldiers are for their delightful occupation. A bath room with tittmgs and a kitchen with range, tubs and pots and pans show the domestic side of tin can possibilities, and to those wounded Boldiers whose memoriea will ever on things of war there delightful models to copy from of tanks, airplane-. torpedo-boat destroy ers, army trucks and cannon. A fcat? ure of the exhibition is an armv truck in course of construction from its con densed milk container stage to final triumphant completion in with "17 on its canvas coveft The exhibition will close Jan.
