be mailed to his friends Sin the street."
engraved tickets will be enclosed to
them and Scotty will make his theatri-
cal debut before an audience which he
calculates will represent a wealth ex-
ceeding $10,000O00 900.
j. Piarpont Morgan will be asked to
have an orchestra chair, John D. Rookie
feller will sit on the opposite side of the
house, James Hazen Hyde will be given
a front seat in the upstairs balcony,
Andrew Carnegie will be invited to sit
near Mr.. Rockefeller, Thomas w. Law
son will be assigned to a portion of the
house so far removed from Messrs.
Rockefeller, Morgan and Rogers that
he can say nothing to hurt their feel
ings, and the Astors and Vanderbilts
will be expected to occupy prominent
positions in the audience.
And Scotty says 'the boys" will all
be there, as they are about the best
fellows he ever met and so sociabe that
he hasn't the heart to overlook any OF
them.
To Bar Glrard
However,, adds Scotty, Mr.. Girard
will knock in vain for admission and
under no circumstances will his former
grub-staker have an opportunity of wit
Messing the performance. Should he be
admitted to the house through any
subterfuge, the performance will be
hestated sufficiently for the ushers to
escort the great banker to the outside
Between the Santa Fe and Mr.. Gil
rard, Scotty always loses his temper.
He cannot be reconciled to talk regard
ing either in an amiable and calm man
ner.
Santa Fe officials, especially the
Messrs Ripley and Byrne, will be also
among the barred from gratifying any
ambition they may possess of witness
ing the great Thespian in his edifying
role
Patterning after the great worlds
fairs, Scotty will have special days set
On which he will entertain at private
performances all his friends in every
walk of life.
For instance opening night, January
15 will be Wall street day. A few
nights afterwards, the great tragedian
will perform In private for the edifca-
ton of the newboys.
The third private performance will be
Press day at the great show and every
man, woman or child capable of writ
ing a news story or a verse will be
guests of the successor to Booth and
Barrett
Another private performance will be
given at a later date to be known as
Snerry s nlBnI, WIen all IIe walters
who refused tips from the mystery will
be his special guests.
New York's 400" is not to be over
looked as society night" is included
among the special performances to be
given in private. All the social side
of Gotham will be asked to assemble
on this night and see some real act
ing what is acting,
Scotty proposes to show in all the
great cities of America, but will pass
up Louisville, Philadelphia and Mil
waukee. He expects to give one per-
formance in Washington, D. c., for
the ediflcation of the official life of the
government, and congress is expected
to adjourn during the hours Of his one
night stand in the national capital.
His company will be hauled about
from city to city in a magnificent
special train which will never run
slower than a mile a minute and the
best hotel in any of these cities is
likely to have trouble in meeting the
standard of elegance and accommoda-
tions for his royal cortege.
Special Car for Slim
Slim, the mule, will not be stabbed
during the tour. Rather than take any
chances on his side partners being
embarrassed by refusal of some land
lord with mistaken ideas as to accom-
modating a burro in the bridal suite, a
special car will be carried for Slim
