NEWS OF THE THEATERS
EMPIRE THEATER DID A GREAT
BUSINESS AT ITS OPENING.
Stage Pictures and Pathos i'm the New
Play at the Park Smack OF the
Dramas of Palmy Days.

When the doors of the Empire Theater
were opened yesterday afternoon throng
rushed in that filled the place within half
an hour. The reserved seats all had been
sold before noon and when the curtain
rose the open spaces in gallery, balcony and
lower floor were occupied by standing men.
1t was the beginning of the season at the
Empire and Labor day, besides. Ed +.
Rush's Bon Ton Burlesquers is a veteran
organization and it always has been a clev-
er one The audiences at both perform
ances yesterday laughed and applauded
it almost continuously.
The bland and versatile Frank Byron is
responsible for most of the fun in the bur
lesques that precede and follow the oliO OF
specialties. He is an old fayorite at the
Empire In the first part he and several
other comedians of the company have a
burlesque on battle that made the audi
ences yesterday roar. The afterpiece is not
new-Zeb Rollins and ST Peevy and their
troubles in promoting variety show have
been seen at the Empire many seasons
but Byron's foolery keeps il fresh. He and
his colaborer John Murray, still use the
electric machine trick. In both Of the skits
the chorus women wear rich costumes and
change dress often. The women are good
looking and sing and dance skillfully.
The OllO is uniformly good. Marie Rogers
and Frank Byron make the personal hits.
Miss Rogers begins her work with a senti-
mental ballad, returns TO the stage with a
sort of cOster song and finishes with rag
time song and dance. She does not over
work her voice and really sings until the
rag time song, when she cannot resist the
temptation to shout that has spoiled many
a promising musical turn. Her cleVerness
so pleased yesterday afternoon that the
dience cheered her. No other woman has
been so successful with ragtime songs here
since Bessie Lamb charmed the audiences
at the Empire with her recitative style.
Miss Lamb was seen in vaudeville at the
Grand last season, but she. too, had taken
to shouting and diminished the favor
in which she had been held. Byron and his
partner Miss LangdOn, have changed their
sketch, but they retain the Old drama bur
lesque, which should be retired on account
OF advanced age. Byron's new lines. how
ever. were delight to the audiences yes
terday. Weiland. the clown juggler, won
applause with his old tricks: the Misses
Monroe and Marshall, in a SISTER act"
were but fairly received. and Mcfarland
and Murray in a cOnventinal Irish singing
ard dancing sketch begot applause because
ii was the first day oil the new season at
the Empire.
1t is too bad that a comedian as bright
as Byron should offend with smutty songs,
but ne does. and, of course, a part OF the
audiences shrieked with laughter. Byron's
Offense in this line and a touch or two OF
the same sort in other parts OF the show
should be cut out and then the entertain
ment would be as clean as IL is tuneful
and colorful The company will give per-
formances every afternoon and evening
this week.

The Queen Is Exclusive.


Boston Transcript.
Those folly-stricken American women
who feel that life is nothing but a hollow
mocl1ery unless they can be presented" at
the English court, will doubtless go into
deep mourning when they hear that Queen
Alexandra is drawing even more exclusive
lines about her royal person than were the
rule with her predecessor. Hitherto it has
never been very difficult for an American
woman to be received at court. The
chief requisite was a pull" and pulls"
are the chief stock in trade of the vast
majority of the American society women
residing in or visiting London. But the
value of the pull" appears to be threat
ened by the new Queen, for 1t is said that
henceforth people are to be presented
only by special invitation, not merely TO
the lady who does the presenting" but to
drawing rooms" will be the exclusive of
the exclusive and presentations" there
fore will be in greater demand than ever.

The baby contest was scheduled for 4:S0
o'clock, but there were no entries. Deter
mined to have a contest, Miss Ida Haney
and Miss Nellie Landers, two of the judges,
began to canvass the crowd in the grand
stand, finally securing eight babies for the
contest. The only other feature of the pro-
gramme was the balloon ascension. imme-
diately after the races. The air was still,
and the balloon went up and the man
came down in his parachute rs smoothly
as all the rest of the days programme had
gone.
The general committee voted TO not allow
gambling, and the grounds and privilege
committee refused handsome contributions
for privileges" Some. however, decided
to run their games anyway, but with the
exception of a shell game nothing worse
than cigar "spindes" were started. The
police put the shell game out OF business
before the boys got a chance to try their
luck" and the man who was managing the
shells fled into the crowd, leaving the
equipment. The committee next descended
upon the 'spindles," and when the cyclone
had passed all that was left was a group
of boxes.
