The beautiful resort which Mr.. e. P.

Jersey shore Is well peopled with many no
table men, who have decided to become
members Of the '.Allenhurst family" this
season and perhaps longer. With each re-
curing year Allenhurst grows more beau
tiful. and an evidence of the effect Of its
charms upon men rand women may be
judged when 1t Is known that nearly every
cottage in the resort nis rented and the
bookings at the hetel are larger than they
have ever been.
Mr.. Benjamin, who In responsible for AL
lenhurst's success. hast just returned from
a flying trip abroad, and Is again at the
helm to pilot his handsome craft through
the waters of another summer season. This
nautical metaphor Is not inappropriate, for

The bureau of theatrical education
which W. NJ Bates conducts for Klaw &
Erlangcr sends out the following bit Of PIC
turesque reminiscence:
In 1879 jerome Sykes a young comic
opera singer. struggling for recognition. He
had begun his career in an opera company
In Baltimore four years before and had
been s!de-tracked for two seasons, playing
"heav!es in prairie dramatic company.
He landed in Kansas City. practically
broke" He met Punch Wheeler then
wel-knnwn advance man. They compared
notes They had $40 between them. After
an hour spent in elaboration they decided
TO put out an opera company. In another
hour they had brought together nine people,
and had formed The AlcaZar Opera Com
pany. In two days they were on the road.
They had overcome the difficulty of secur-
ing chorus by hiring a scenic artist to
paint on a drop. They stayed out
with this troupe" over nine months. and
made living. playing small towns in Texas
and places in Mexico Punch" Wheeler
went ahead and gave the local manager his
choice from large repertoire. but they al
ways played '"The Mascot" They made It
fiji any title, and no one seemed to know the
difference.
In Piedras Negras Mexico. the manager
selected "Ermine" from Punch Wheel
er's list The advance tried to con-
vince him that The Mascot was much
better. but the Mexican would not yield.
So Erm!nie'' billed. and Punch was
In despair. He did not dare play THE
Mascot under the title of "Erminie.' be-
cause Of the stringency Of the Mexican law
There might be a Mexican present who
could expose the deception. They had a
copy OF the play Robert Macaire" on
which ''Erminie was founded and started
al 10 In the morning to improvise the opera
with this as the book. The curtain was
rung up AT 10 o'clock that night the usual
hour, on Sykes and Wheeler's original pro-
duction of Ermine.' When there was a
break Sykes would knock the actor PLAYING
Jake StrOp all over the stage or sing
'.When Love IS Young All the World Seems
Gay The performance was a hit and
THE Alcazar Opera Company" nine peo-
pie, with the chorus painted on a drop was
invited To play a return date. But times
have changed with Jerry" Sykes He now
has no worry. and next season will play the
lead in klaw & changers big production
Of Foxy CUTLER" with twenty principals
and real chorus of one hundred people 10
support him. Punch Wheeler. too. has
escaped the troubles of theatrical life. and
