Things Theatrical North and Wast
from a Chicago Point of View.
Wtih almost two thousand carpenters and artisans of various classes sowing
ami hammering away on the fifty-five buildings which will compose White City. Chicago's new million dollar amusement enterprise, located at the corner of Sixty-third
street and South Park avenue, it would seem
there is no chance for any delay and that
everything will be in readiness on the opening
day. May 27.
From the chaos of lumber and building material of all kind have been evolved some of
the most architecturally beautiful structures
ever erected, not omitting the famous World's
Fair buildings which were considered models
of their kind. Edward C. Boyce. the New Tork
architect who made the plans and is superintending the work of building White City, is
adding to his reputation as the greatest srehl
tect and designer of this class of buildings in
the United States. There is a certain grace
fulness of outline, mingled with a picturesqueness of design which makes each and every Individual structure a pleasing sight and combines to make the total ensemble unrivaled.
Few people realize that White City Is the
largest enterprise of its kind In the United
States and covers more ground than any amusement park in the world, with the exception
of the one at Earl's Court, London, but this
latter place combines many features which
require considerable space of ground without
buildings or structures of any kind.
The whole credit for the building of White
City Is due to the original idea of Paul D.
Bowse, the general manager, who originated
the plan and who Is now acting as director
general of construction.
In White City will be gathered together the
most complete assortment of popular amusement and entertaining devices ever placed
within the boundaries of an amusement park.
The principal attractions are twenty-eight in
number and embrace everything which has been
found to combine entertainment producing qualities and financial success. Practically every
attraction shown on the Pike at St. Louis was
offered to the management of White City, but
only two were accepted. From Dreamland at
Coney Island were taken not less than a dozen,
while several are entirely new and have never
been shown to the public In the United States.
The predominating Idea in selecting attractions
for White City was to choose devices of moral
character and completely devoid of unpleasant
or disagreeable features.
Foremost and entirely consistent with the
claim of the management that White City him
everything the biggest and best, is the glganti
and thrilling out-door spectacle called Fire and
Flames. This production combines all of the
leading Ideas of similar exhibitions, while added
to this are many wholly new and startling
features. The production will require two
complete fire departments, Including two fire
engines, a sixty-five foot extension truck, hose
cart*, coal wagon, fire patrol, police patrol,
ambulance, five cabs, six wagons, two trolley
cars, two automobiles and a total ensemble of
two hundred and fifty people, all of whom
will be carefully drilled and each have hi
or her Individual part to play In the thrilling
drama of everyday life.
Probably next In Importance will be Venice,
a magnificent and costly reproduction of the
famous and world renowned city of the Doges,
a c t u a l l y reproduced In perfect perspective and
having every appearance of being permanent
buildings, groups of statuary, etc. Winding In
and out between the palaces are canals, totaling
about one-half mile In length. Through these
canals will float magnificent gondolas, especially constructed for this production, and in
which the visitors can comfortably recline while
viewing the romantic moonlit scenes of beautiful Venice.
There have been scenic railways constructed
at various parks, each of which has outvied
predecessors In extent and general attractiveness, but the one constructed at White City,
three-qnarters of a mile in length. Is longer
and more complete and attractive In every way
than any scenic railway ever built. Those who
ride In the cars over White City's (cenlc rail
WIT will be carried at a comfortable speed up
hill and down dale, and within view of reproductions of the World's most marvelous
scenery accurately reproduced In perspective.
Infant incubators have been so thoroughly
exploited dnrlng previous exhibitions that space
need not be taken to tell how they will appear
at White City. Suffice It to say that there will
be seven complete Incubators houaed In appropriately designed buildings where these
scientific wonder-producing Inventions can be
properly ahown and explained in every detail.
White City College Inn possesses a title almost magic In Chicago. The original College
Ion In Chicago Is acknowledged to be the most
popular and extensively patronized dining place
In the city, and is the resort of the best known
people to be found la public life an will u
those who do not aspire to publicity, hut seek
comfort and the good things of this world. The
White City College Inn Is to be a duplicate of
the present establishment In the heart of the
city, although It will be larger In extent and
fth a capacity of acconnr.iH)atlnK twenty-four
Inniclrcil pen|c|e. All f u r n i t u r e , fixtures and
tableware of every description Is being specially
h .M-nr.l. unil it is expected tltat Ihl.i will be
nne of the most popular resorts In Chicago during tin- hot summer niontlia.
The plans of the management of White City
provide for o garage which will accommodate
one hundred automobiles, with the intention of
providing such facilities that business n i r n can
go direct from town to White City, meet their
families there, lunch or dine at White City
College Inn and sjiend an enjoyable evening
Wt the extensive grounds. Plans are already
under way to have the great crowds which will
attend Washington Park race trark, located
just across the way from the main entrance of
White City, enjoy the conveniences offered;
exactly what are required to care for the
hosts of people who will attend the races. In
the same building occupied by White City College Inn and on the lower floor, will be located
a dairy lunch room, where popular prices will
prevail; also a (ii-rman rathskellar provided
with Imported delicacies, such as will tickle
the palate of the most fastidious gourmand.
The celebrated Banda Rossa, under the leadership of Eugene Sorrentino, has been engaged
for the first four weeks at White City, and
will begin the engagement with the date of
opening. Banda Rossa will give concerts every
afternoon and evening in the handstand constructed in the center of the sunken gardens,
where comfortable seats will be provided for
a multitude. Banda Rossa will be followed
by the Chicago Concert Band, recruited from
the Theodore Thomas Orchestra, to be In torn
succeeded by other bands of International reputation.
Among the novelties at White City will be
a magnificent and commodious ballroom, with
the finest dancing fioor ever constructed in Chicago and capable of accommodating one thousand dancers at a time. In the ballroom an
orchestra will be constantly retained, and every
facility afforded for enjoyment and high class
entertainment for lovers of dancing.
Those who have visited Dreamland at Coney
Island and who have "Bumped the Bumps" will
realize the exhilarating and fun producing de
vices which In Wblte City will be designated
as the Bumps. Chlcagoans will be Introduced
to this sport on the opening day of White City,
and it will undoubtedly be one of the molt
popular features there.
The Midget Olty, a model miniature town
consisting of twenty-five buildings, peopled by
a host of midgets, will offer special attractions

anything else, its purpose: "Dedicated Ti

W. B. WATSON RESIGNS
Mr. W. B. Watson has handed in his
resignation as manager of Watson's
Cozy Corner Theatre, Brooklyn, which
is owned by the Brooklyn Amusement
Co., of which Mr. Watson is president
Mr. Watson's retirement from the
active management of the house is
necessitated by the fact that his private interests, such as the Olympic Theatre, Manhattan, his interest in the
Columbia Music Hall, Boston, as well
as his several road attractions, can
not receive necessary attention under
present arrangement.
Besides, Mr.
Watson contemplates a foreign tour
with Jeanette Dupre, known in private
life as Mrs. W. B. Watson. Mr. Watson still retains his official position
as president of the company, and a
resident manager for the Cozy Corner
will be appointed April 1, the change
taking place at that time. Mr. and
Mrs. Watson will sail for Europe about
May 1. While abroad Mr. Watson will
have his eyes open for new vaudeville
attractions. The Cozy Corner Theatre
will still keep to burlesque, though
under the new regime it is said that
it will be more pretentious than ever
before.

WESTERN
NEWS
The western vaudeville situation is
growing more interesting.
Another
gleam of light has been shed upon the
situation by Mr. Wm. A. Lang, of the
Lang Circuit, who demurs to the
statement that the west is bad for the
performer, and produces his testimony in support thereof. Mr. Lang
declares that the people who can deliver the goods will never be out of
an engagement while in the west. He
takes the position that the kickers are
the dead ones and has-beens, and
brings in his evidence in the following manner:
Chicago. Jan. 11, 1805.
Mr. Lang:
Allow me to express my heart felt thanks to
you and all concerned in my trip to the coast
last summer and return over your Circuit of

associates filled every obligation made It *
pleasant trip to me, and one long to be remembered pleasantly.

Chicago, Jan. 19, 1905.
To Whom It Hay Concern.
I understand there hag been a number of people who were booked on the coast that claimed
of the eastern managers would put up with
some of the acts that are shipped from Chicago by agents that formerly were clothing
dealers, and teachers of elocution who are
compelled to push their pupils to the front In
order to keep their promise to the pupil upon
entering Ills school. Acts that are booked for
big money In the houses get It, and there Is
no cut for the man or team that can deliver
the goods.
1 would advise performers with
the goods to come west, but If you open on
the Crystal Circuit at St. Joe or on the
Novelty Circuit at Denver and cap not put on
the real business, back, back to Chicago. I
submit a list of performers who came west at
the same time I did and I will vouch that
not one of them are sorry for the trip, and I
am not afraid to sign my name. They are
as follows:
Fox and Ward. Sam and Ida
Kelly, Meetllng and Baen, Tryon, DeLacy Children, McCune and Grant, Jack Symonds, The

Dear Sir:—My attention has beea attracted of
late by a certain class of performers who are
constantly knocking the Lang Circuit hi the
West, and 1 believe I owe It to good performers
and td the managers of said Circuit te correct
certain misleading statements In regard to the
treatment we have received at the hands e-f each
and every manager on the above-mentioned Circuit, and the honest and straight-forward business-like wsy our set was handled by the bookIng office of the Lang. Bdlson. Empire Circuit In
the West. In the first placf I have paid particular attention to seme of the causes that have
led to this undeslrsble state of affairs. Tbe
Urst and most Important "knock" seems te have
come from that class of performers who are
constantly misrepresenting their act, aad after
they j u m p to the West they find a much wiser
audience and a more wide awake bunch of managers than they figured on meeting, with the
result that they are closed as they should be.
A good act never went begging for work ou the
Lang Circuit. Went to work for Mr. Ed. Lang
on Oct. 19, 1903. and worked eonstantly for
fifty-one weeks under his booking, and can de the
same In a reasonable return, and the treatment
was first-class In each and every Instance.

never lost a day only by travel, such as Jumps
made to Butte, Seattle to California (San Francisco) and back north to Oregon from California.
And another good point Is to cheat the cold
weather and the snow In the East, and to be
where you can pick roses In the good Old Winter
Time In California, and the managers and houses
are A 1. and not a bit harder work than in tbe
East, and when a performer can pot In a solid

AL FRESCO BEACH PARK, PEORIA. ILL.
Al Fresco is, in many ways, more interesting than the larger amusement parks; having the advantage of a beautiful waterfront, a fine bathing
beach, trolley and steamer transportation. It is seldom that an inland city can boast of a bathing beach, and In no c i t y outside of the eastern resorts
can there be found one that equals Peoria. While the population is but one hundred thousand in the city proper, w i t h i n a radius of forty miles there
are a million and a half, with fourteen railroads and many large river excursion steamers to carry the people. Why this b e a u t i f u l location has lain
idle for years, is hard to tell. An ideal spot, made for the purpose, just waiting for Mr. Seaver to sail up in his handsome yacht and say, "The one
place we have been looking for." This little incident occurred one year ago, as Mr. Seaver was on a cruise from Chicago to New Orleans, and from
that day, plans for the park began to grow. Mr. Seaver, president and general manager of the Al Fresco Amusement Co., has been a very successful business man of Chicago, as well as an enthusiastic yachtsman, owning one of the finest steam yachts on the great lakes, and has held the
title of fleet captain, vice-commodore and commodore of the Columbia Yacht Club of Chicago. Employes and concessionaires of Al Fresco Beach
can look forward to many pleasant moonlight rides on the Commodore's yacht. Al Fresco is a very appropriate name, meaning "In the open air."
It was suggested by Mrs. Seaver, who has also selected names for other parks which the company will open next season, plans for same being
now prepared by Mr. Seaver, who Is not only an architect, but a hustler who can be depended upon to carry out any enterprise that he may attempt. The Al Fresco Amusement Company is composed of some of the leading men of Chicago, Peoria, and St. Louis, and railroad officials in high
positions. More will be heard of this company in the east as well as in the west.
be ready for the opening which occurs at Lancaster. Pa., April 24. At this point all the
new cages, baggage wagons and wardrobe nre
being made. While In the animal bouse and
ring barn trainers are busy preparing their different charges for the summer performances.
Mr. Sautelle Is at this end of the enterprise,
looking after the new firm's Interest, assisted
by Jas. A. Morrow. At Lancaster, Pa., the
winter quarters of the Welsh Brothers Show
and general business offices of the new consolidated shows, a like scene of activity prevails.
Office clerks, mechanics, car builders, wiigon
repairers, blacksmiths and painters are at work
getting the property that Is stored there In
proper condition for the road. John Welsh Is
in personal command here, assisted by Clinton
Newton. Eighty head of stock has already been
purchased, and Mr. Sautelle Is at present In
Lancaster, Mo., looking for sixty head more.
The parade—with all dapple gray horses, new
harness, new cages, fine tableaux, deep carved
and gilded band wagons, chariot and calliope,
gorgeous wardrobe and bevy of beautiful young
ladles, cowboys and girls, Cossacks, Indians,
Romans, Japs, Russians and carnival of all
nations—will no doubt create great Interest.

PUBLISHERS' CORNER.
Our Street Fair Issue last week created a
sensation. We have been showered with congratulations.
Letters expressing surprise,
wonder, astonishment, and above all, gratification and god-speed, have simply poured In on
us. In another column we print a very few
of them In full and excerpts form as many
more aa the pressure on our columns will permit.
* * •
The Street Fair Issue was an achievement.
The following analysis demonstrates It beyond
all doubt. It contained one hundred pages.
No other amusement paper ever did that. It
contained 255 columns of advertising equal to
tn% pages. No other amusement paper ever
did that. Its circulation was 25,000 copies,
and on a large, expensive special edition we
do not believe any other amusement paper has
ever done that.
* * *
When a paper has the largest number of
pages, the largest circulation, and prints the
most advertising, is it not fairly entitled to
claim the distinction of being the "greatest"
In its class. We think so. and announce herewith that we honestly believe The Billboard
la America's greatest amusement weekly.
* • »
This week we respectfully announce the openIng of the London Bureau of The Billboard at
23 Oxendon street, London, S. W. Mr. C. C.
Bartram, formerly a well-known American Mrformer, is our representative, and will be glad

RETURN TO THE "SIMPLE LIFE'
him could readily see that he was not
at all proud of the record; also, that
he was looking for a material change
for the better. Mr. Curran further said
that he had no use for the "Secondary
Franchise" proposition, and refused
from the very first to give it his support.
* * *
These expressions by Mr. Curran
are given because we believe that they
represent the real opinions of the great
majority of the members of the Board
of Directors—say 20 of the 23. In lookIng over the list of names of the men
who compose the Board it is not difficult, when aided by that knowledge
that comes with a personal acquaintance, to see where the trouble lies. It
is not that there are no good men on
the Board, but that the good men have
allowed themselves to be dominated by
a few who, if not bad, have an entirely wrong conception of their duties. The Billboard believes that the
time has come when the "safe and
sane" majority will assert itself and
stop the foolishness.
* * *
A good evidence of this tendency to
return to the "simple life" was the instance which occurred at Baltimore
when the auditing committee refused
to pass a bill to pay for the cover of
the holiday number of the official
organ. The amount—$190—was insignificant, but the principle was vital.
The Board of Directors is intrusted
with the transaction of the business
of the Association between meetings
and is empowered to pay legitimate
charges arising out of the transaction
of that business; but when it comes
to paying money to defray the expenses of individuals or concerns
which have no connection with the immediate affairs of the Association and
for services not essential to that body,
the Board of Directors exceeds its
constitutional authority. Should any
member of the Association take it upon
himself to institute legal proceedings
against the Board of Directors they
could be compelled refund from their
own pockets all sums thus improperly
appropriated.
* * *
The Billboard commends the stand
the Board has taken, but must observe
that it has only commenced. There
are still many items that could be
lopped off, such an exhorbant lawyer's
fees for legal advice of questionable
worth, as was given in the "Secondary
Franchise" proposition. The official
organ is also a serious and unnecessary drain on the treasury and should
be discontinued as an item of expense.
BUTTINSKI.
PRESIDENT JOSEPH
Replies to His Critics Among the Roadmen
Replies to Officers of the Alliance and Signs
His Name
To The Billboard:
Replying tu Ralph Ware, secretary of the
\lli.-ince Local 14, at Kansas City, whose letter
:is published In your Issue of February U5, I
ill say that I do not wish to enter Into a
controversy with anyone who knows not the
inference between argument and abuse; so I
will Ignore his letter completely. But If any
TutlH'r doubts my statement let him go to
Kansas City and look for work.
My experience is that the traveling members
L>f the Alliance, commonly called road men,
will compare favorably, or perhaps excel, home
men and "kinkers" in ability to work; drinks
.ess booze and peddles fewer tickets. We do
not exactly expect to be wined and dined when
visiting a town in search of employment. But
when we secure a job we do not like to have
an Alliance man lay off of some other Job, or
do two routes in one day in order to starve us
out so that a "permit man" or a "kinker" can
rt'ork after we are forced to leave town.
It is a well known fact that there are many,
many more road men than local men, consequently we are the life support of the Locals.
It would not be possible for the local men to
pay lodge rent without our money; therefore
the road men are paying the expenses of a handful of local men, who elect themselves delegates, go to the convention and make laws to
govern us.
Replying to J. J. McCormlck, general secretary of the Alliance, I will say that if we are
not allowed to air our troubles through the
columns of The Billboard what are we to do?
We get no voice In the locals and never hold
a seat in the conventions; consequently The
Billboard Is the only place we have to get a
run for our money.
As to tils remark that I have not common
sense, I admit that 1 have none; mine has long
since been declared In the preferred class and
above par. The common and watered sense Is
all held by the officials and committees of the
Alliance who make the laws for us while we
are doing a 70-mile country route earning the
money to foot their bills. Then, in their
ignorance of such affairs they make mistakes
and blunders galore, and get grievously offended
and heap abuse on our heads If we attempt to
let them know through our only means, The
Billboard, that their way does not «ult us.
Regarding his remark that 1 was not a good
union man, I will say that I believe In Unionism
first, last and all time; but that the way the
Alliance is now run does not suit me. It wai
not the Alliance or the union that I wrote
of here, but, as Tom Lawsou says, the
"system". Away with the "system". Give
the road men a chance.
Yours for better arrangements,
J. J. McCONNELL.
Editor Billboard:—Since the recent convention
eld at 1'lttsburg, many articles have appeared
n your paper by men who have seen fit to
vlthnld their signatures, which makes It in
•unibert upon the otticers of the Alliance to
uisvver these attacks through your columns.
I'lic writer does not believe In a newspaper
iitrovcrsy. but firmly believes that a newsmper can often give a false impression if the
statements made In it by people who are either
teophltes in the organization or pursuing tactics
vhlch will Injure the organization for their
wn aggrandizement. In the issue of The Blllrnrd after the convention a statement was
mule that there was only one roadman In the
•onvention who represented the interests of the
.•Ircus billposters. This shows that the person.
>r persons, who gave this Information, are
ignorant as to the roster of that convention, or
maliciously tried to Injure by throwing out
'alse impressions. 1 herewith give the names
of at least fifteen delegates at the convention
who, no later than last season, had been on
the road: are men with wide experience and
i broad knowledge of the road, and who know
:he cJreus billposter's needs by reason of havng had experience from three to twelve years:
Brothers P. F. Murphy, J. J. McCormlck,
lurry C'ooley, John Carville, Ike Houser, Frank
. Barr, Dan. T. Judge, John Ryan, Charles
Snowhill, E. R. Gerson. John J. Whltehead,
J. II. Donovon, Frederick P. Belmont, Chas. L.
Vincent and C. A. Busby.
I believe all will agree with me that this
,s a fair representation, and that these men are
inallOcil to legislate In behalf of their craftsmen. There are criticisms just and unjust, and
believe all will agree when i say that the
lollcy pursued by those in charge of the circus
greement was a good one, by reason of the
fact that all the principal circuses have signed
the agreement, as well as a great number of
small shows, which heretofore have never recngnlzed the Alliance.
The Alliance has not only raised the wages
:>f the roadmen, but obtained better conditions
for them. The roadmen are practically getting
more wages than what is known In the verna
cular of the billposter as the home guard. Any
fair-minded person who reads the agreement,
as set forth by the circuses and the Alliance,
•an note the improvement in the working conditions, and, Instead of the billposter and blller
being a scapegoat he Is an Important factor
[n the forces that make a circus a success.
While members of the Alliance have thus been
recipients of better conditions, we have also
given to employers better service. The organization has been successful In eliminating the
drunken element, grafters and shoe-string blllers. This work has not been accomplished by
those who have found fault with every act of
the officers of the Alliance, nor by those who
tried to tmpugue the Integrity of its hard working members. The ollicers believe in conservative action, in progress and education, and, as
long as they follow this policy Just so long
will they be successful. We are not trying to
revolutionize in one day a system that has been
In vogue for the last fifteen years. We are
trying to alleviate the hardships of members
by Inculcating Intelligence and the dissemination of the true principals of Trades Unionism.
If this policy does not suit those anonymous
letter writers—or, 1 might add. a few disgruntled individuals—the proper place for them
to air their grievances is to the officers, and If
the evil exists they are then in a position to
rectify that evil. The organization is powerful
and can wield an Influence for good. It can
nlso jeopardize its own interest by doing acts
DAUBS.
of injustice to employers.

Secretary S. C. Moss, of Billposters Alliance
,ocal No. 4. located at Philadelphia. Pa., writes
to The Billboard that the present strike In
'hiladelphia is on account of the unequal wag<
system. He says Uiat the so-called piece
system has been In operation In that city fo
fully three years and that, Instead of getting
$25 to $40 per week as Is claimed by the com
'any, billposters get about $25, out of whtcl
they are obliged to pay their helpers frou
;0 to $9 per week. The result Is that a fev
men ^et $15 to $18 per week and fourteen uiei
get from $4 to $8 per week.
..
When union men ran the wagons they weri
iMirilened with all sorts of restrictions, Mr
Moss claims. They were not paid for "snipe'
and their pay day was changed to suit the
purposes of "money sharks" In the office. Noniun men were given the preference of all
work, while union men were fined till they had
but little coming to them.
Mr. Moss says that the fight Is progressing,
and that the BlllposUng-Sign Co. Is now so
handicapped that It can not get out Its regular
theatrical work. He says that the Union is
determined to win. Help Is coming In from
various cities.
