the mind feel satisfied with.
No mention of the vaudeville stage in
America would be complete without some
reference to the most picturesque figure
connected with it. Tony Pastor, as he
is known fam1liarly, recently celebrated
his fortieth year of management in
vaudeville, and rightly has been regarded
as the dean of the corps of managers.
To write history of Mr.. Pastors life is
to write history of the vaudeville stage,
for they are so indissolubly entwined
together that it would be impossible to
separate them.
In the shadow of Tammany Hall
Pastor has made his headquarters in a
little theater first opened by Dan Bryant
and his minstrel company in the early
seventies During the last twenty-four
years he has moved and had his pro-
fessiona1 being in this house on East
Fourteenth-st. and it is there he expects
to remain as long as he lives, for he never
intends to give up his work.
1t was in IS46 that Pastor, then known
as Anthony Pastor, boy of six, made
his first public appearance on any stage.
The place was Barnuns Museum, which
occupied the space now made familiar
by the St. Paul Building, at Ann-st- and
Broadway. Pastor was in receipt of two
dollars a week, and was happier than one
could imagine. 1t was his debut.
Ten years later, when he was playing
with a circus in Chicago, he essayed his
first comedy part-he had gone through
the grades of tumbler, bareback rider
and ring-master This innovation was
the impersonation of a Yankee farmer.
In 1907 he was to be found at the historic
old theater known as "444 Broadway"
where he created furor by his singing
of THE Star-Spangled Banner" That
was in wartime, and young Pastor rose
rapidly With him at the theater as
contemporaries were Joseph Wheelock
and kittie Blanchard, who later became
Mrs Mckee Rankin. Four years later,
in 1905, Pastor began his career as a
manager, which has continued uninter-
ruptedly since that date. He opened
Tony Pastors Opera House at No. 2oI
Bowery, and there introduced what he
termed family vaudeville" The the
ater now is called the Peoples, and IS
known as a home of howling melodrama.
Pastor decided that he wanted, to cater
to women, and so he cut out the drink
ing-bars, which always had been a
feature of houses devoted to the enter
tainment.
Ten years of the Bowery satisfied
Pastor that the trend of amusement was
directed toward Broadway, and he moved
to Nos. SIS and 5S7 of that street in
1875, where he remained until 1881.
when Dan Bryant. having grown tired
of his Tammany Hall Theater, gave 1t up.
Pastor moved in, and has been there
ever since.
To mention list of the men and
women who are indebted to Tony Pastor
for their start in theatrical life would be
to mention a list of nearly all the come
dians who grace the stage to-day. and
many who are dead The list includes
Lillian Russell, Nat c. Goodwin, Helen
Dauvray, Edward Harrigan and Tony
Hart Clnown to millions as Harrgan and
HART, Josh Evans, William and James

as the fame of his vaudeville entertain
ment grew he expanded his ideas.
1t was on July 6, 1855, that the present
continuous form of vaudeville entertain
ment had its birth. 1t proved popular
immediately much SO that to-day
there is hardly a city of consequence
that does not boast of at least one
continuous house. By "contin-
uous' is meant an entertainment
which, starting at noon, continues with
out cessation until ten or eleven o'clock
at night
1t is to the brain of Mr.. Keith that we
must look for the inception of modern
American vaudeville and the enormous
results that have accrued to capital IN
vested in it. From a mere 'shOw"
with no standing whatever, it has been
developed into an entertainment that
holds all that is best in the world OF
dramatic art. And it is growing with
such giant strides that the Legitimate"
theater manager has cast many an
anxious glance at its progress.
Such is vaudeville, and such its growth
from the humble beginning OF the country
bov. Cater to the women and children,
and the men will follow them. Cater to
the men alone and you at once intro
duce a doubtful moral value that will
inevitably damage both house and artist,
and incidentally the managerial pocket.
And following out this policy, the vaude-
vile theater must of necessity grow rap
idly
However, within the last five years
great change has come over this class OF
entertainment 1t always has been usual
for the theater to furnish such scenic
effects as might have been needed, and
these as a rule have been exceedingly
simple. Now, however, the artist is be-
coming more ambitious, and is having
built and is carrying with him at his own
expense magnificent scenic equipment and
electrical effects that hitherto have been
considered the exclusive province of the
regular theater. At one time from two
to three persons were all that were re-
qr1ired to constitute an act. Now 1t is
no uncommon thing to find ten, or even
twelve, players upon the vaudeville stage
engaged in a twenty-1ninute turn. In
one recent production in New York city
over thirty were employed in thirty
minute sketch which required four
changes of scene to tell a dramatic story.
When one can go to the theater and see
the best of dramatic, operatic, farce
comedy and comic or music-farce, and
even grand opera in tabloid form, in one
bill, the acme of variegated theatrical
entertainment appears to have been
reached.
There is time for all this in vaudeville,
and also time for an aria from opera; a
scene that embodies all the salient
features of a first-class musical-comedy;
half an hour with a clever entertainer
who could win a national reputation as
an afterdinner speaker; the latest Pa
risian fre-dance; the newest thing in hair
raising physical feats; the latest humor
as exemplifed in a quick and spasmodic
farce; the heaviest tragedy given by the
best actors of the day; and few minutes
with the cleverest musician with classic
compositions. If in addition one cares
to see the latest scientific paradox or
freak, he need not leave his seat, for it

SEVERAL FIRE ALARMS
Three of Them Proved FaIse-Others
 of No Consequence.

Seven alarms were responded to yester- day by the fire department, and three of them were false. The total loss of the other four did not amount to more than s1Oo.

 At 11:40 o'clock false alarm was turned in from Twenty-flrst street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues, north. Just fifteen minutes later a bridge in the Frisco yards on Sixth avenue, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets. caught from a spark. The loss was small.
 Two small alarms followed one another in quick succession The first was at 1:15 o'clock on Twentieth street between Ave- nues and c. and the second was at 3:30 o'clock on Seventh avenue and Twenty third street.
 At 4:lO o'clock yesterday afternoon the house of Ann Jones on Highland avenue and Twenty-third street was partially de- stroyed. The loss was about sSo.

The Grip is Properly Termed
 Epidemic Catarrh. As Pe-ru-na Cures Every
 Form of Catarrh, It Cures More Cases of Grin Than All Other Reme-
 dies Comhinod

There Is no remedy in the world that meets the conditions produced by the grip better than Peruna-
 Peruna strengthens as 1t renovates, roothes while 1t stimulates, heals as it expargates.
 Peruna is not a purgative, or cathartic or sedative. or stimulant, nor a vege- table or mineral poison.
 It reaches the source of all diseases of the mucous membranes by It's action on the vasomotor system of nerves.
 After-Effects of the Grip.
 Every person who has had la grippe during the last year should take a course of Peruna. No one need expect perfect recovery unless they do so.
 The grip has produced catarrhal in- f1ammation of the whole mucous mem- brane, and good health is impossible un- til these are restored to a normal condi- tion. This Peruna will do.
 great many remedies have been sug- gested for this condition from time to time, but Peruna is the only remedy that has any substantial value in these cases
 It has never failed to give satisfaction during forty years experience and still occupies the unique position of being the leading df not the only) specific remedy for the after-effects of la grippe.
 No Time Like the Present.
 If you are suffering from the after effects of la grippe-if you have become discouraged in your attempts to cure yourself with other treatments, take a bottle of Peruna now.

Pratt City. January -(Special.)-The subcommittee of the city democratic ex- ecutive committee met at the city hall to- right and arranged the rules governing the primary to be held on February to nominate a Mayor and Board of Alder men. The report will be submitted to the committee on next Monday night for it's adoption.
 The report of the subcommittee pro- vides for a city registration plan, the same qualifications being required to vote in the city election as in the state elec- ton. The registration books will be op- ened on January IS and will remain open for ten days.
