DRAMATIC GOSSIP
FOR THEATRE-GOERS

The theatrical season in Carbondale
thus far has been on the whole quite
satisfactory, and is by far more sue
cessful than last year, when the street
car strike was a big obstacle. 1t not
only interfered with the attendance,
but it prevented Manager Byrne from
booking expensive or higher class at
fractions. The diminished attendance
made the risk of loss too great to be
CHANGED. This season, however. We
have had good run of attractions. u

De induced to play one-night stands in
towns OF less than 10000 inhabitants.
The path of a theater manager is not
lined with roses. There may be few
along the way, but the thorns are well
mixed with the sweet smile of Nature.
This is particularly true OF small
town in these days when theatrical
syndicates and circuits are the rule.
Carbondale doesn't happen to be on one
of these 25-town circuits. 1t stands
alone, and rs the whims OF showmen
are peculiar and numerous, It's often
that we are denied desired attractions,

Carbondale theater-goers are fondest
of comedy. There has been ample proof
of this. this season. Productions like

Folks" ''rhe Prisoner of Zenda," "The
Christian" and even Clyde F'itch's

Naturally a good deal of interest

and there is a good deal of speculation
as to it's possible enjoyment as COM
pared with THE Power Behind the
Throne" in which, to make use of
plain saying, Carbondalians We're in
love with Miss Holland as the simple
unaffected peasant girl who was like
a lily in the purity of her character and
home surroundings. THE Lily ana the
Prince" tells story quite like 1.-The
Power Behind the Throne Miss Hol-
land is the same pure, innocent, unaf-
fected and captivating maiden, and she
suffers the same intrigue in her love-
making that she did in "The Power be
hind the Throne" The piece is mag
nificently staged, the first act being

has never been euualled at any pro-
duction in Carbondale

COMING FAIR OF The
new HOOK AND LADDER
Some Novel Ideas, Such as Souvenir
Nights and Odd Decorations, Orig
mated by President Abe L. Sahm.

The members of the new Hendrick
Hook and Ladder company, No. 4, are
considering the details of the fair
which will be opened under their di-
rection in the Burke building, Monday,
January -.
The leading spirit in the enterprise
is the companys president, Common
Councilman Abe l.. Sahm. When it is
recalled that Mr.. Sahm has been the
originator of the little things that made
big successes out of the fairs conducted
in Carbondale the past ten years. one
can expect that there will be lots do
ing in the Hooks enterprise. Abe
seems to be loaded with such ideas, and
the prospective patrons of the new
company's fair can expect to see some
catchy things.
The decorations, 1t is promised, Will
be the most dazzling in the history OF
any local carnival or fair. Electrical
Examinations will be generously used,
and will be the'most conspicuous among
the halls attractive adornments. Pill
lars or columns of color. made up of a
variety of bunting. will be erected at
spaces of twelve feet. They will be
close to the wall, and on top of the
column of gay cooring will be shower
of ncandescent lights. The picture OF
light and color will. indeed, be one of
rare beauty and effect.
1t is proposed to make each night q
souvenir night. A catchy novelty Will
he given the patrons each evening. For
instance. on Monday night, which is
wash day, there will be a souvenir sug-
gestive of the day. Tuesday, ironing
day, will likewise be suitably cared for,
and so on throughout the week.
Monday night will be firemen's night.
All the firemen of the city will be pres
ent and each one will be presented with
n miniature hook and ladder as a soul

advisement to raise funds during the
fair, at the same time the cost will be
only nominal,
