Upton si~nclair's 1.-THE Jungle was
produced for the first time on any
stage at Trenton, n. j. The DRAMATIC
alton does not follow the lines of the
novel. All Of the disagreeabIe fea-
lures of Mr.. Sinclair's book have been
eliminated from the stage production,
which is q love story with a happy
ending on al Illinois farm. In the
third act, the audience was shown an
exterior view of C~hicago's packing
town with its mass of factories and
yard and ears from which live cattle
are unloaded. Following this came a
scene in the interior Of a packing
house displaying the entire mechan-
ism in operation and so arranged as
not to offend the taste of the specta-
tors.

The actors society has in New York
a bureau the work of which is to Sc
cure engagements for the members
of the society, and the feature of the
organization draws into its ranks many
who might not join otherwise.
The actors fund, which maintains
the actors home, in which so many
superannuated actors find a peaceful
spot in which to pass their last days on
earth, receives enthusiastic patronage
from the players. In Chicago the man
who probably has n most for it is
Harry Powers, manager Of Powers
theater. He is the local representative
and he has wrought a great deal Of
good through its agency.
The vaudeville people have not been
so successful in organizing. A few
years ago George Fuller Golden, one
of the best laid artists in vaudeville,
set on foot an organization known as
the White Rats. Almost without ex-
country joined, but the managers were
antagonistic and the organization was
not successful.
There is an actors union of some
strength. but it is not as important as
the other organizations to which the
players belong. A Chorus Girls union
was begun in New York not long ago
under auspices tina looked as if
they would make for success. but the
themselves and the organization never
gathered much weight.
Herr Conried is having his own
troubles with the union question. He
cannot see how the possession of a
card is a guarantee of ability to act
in one language n sing in four.

Once before they had Mr.. AIDE en-

Tim Murphy in ..oid Innocence

a comedy drama Of the quiet type,
deep IL subtle and loveable. The
Heir to the Hoorah" Is a story a tride
far-fetched for real life, yet one OF
the best-liked attractions which came
To Topeka last year. Tt has both laughs
II weeps. but both are blended with
such consummate skin and grace that
st is a piece not easily forgotten. "A
RoO Relation" is of course remem-
bered on account of Sol Smith Rus
sell who made so much of the part Of
the poor inventor, and Happy HoOli-
gan" Will furnish those who like slap-
stick comedy, an opportunity to salts
~ that hunger.
The Heir to the Hoorah, was first
presented in Topeka last season. The
play was unknown here as was also
the star of the piece, Guy Bates Post.
EOr this reason it was but poorly at
tended. And in staying away, local
theatergOers missed one of tho best at
fractions of h past season The en-
EaEement his season promises a much
better attendance. Mr.. Posts rise has
been rapid Since last seen in THE
Rose of Plymouth Town" he has
played half a dozen creative parts in
New York. n each one of them ad-
ded to his reputation as an intelligent.
studious and clever actor. Kirke La
shelle gave him his best Opportunity

on the strength of his brilliant inter
probation OF that character, Jumped
him across the continent from San
Francisco to Philadelphia to create
Joe Lacy in The Heir to the Hoorah.''
"a Poor Relation is presented here
this season by Lee D.. Ellsworth. an
actor of whom not much is known in
his city. 1t is comedy pure and sweet.
and at the same time amusing and in
teresting. 1t teaches a wholesome les
son; it leaves no bad impressions. but
rather an abiding pleasure that bene-
fits and inspires and rests those who
see II hear it.

each season one OF more of his ear
Tier successes fits we'll in the presen-
tation by him this season of old IN
n~Ocence."
In "Old Innocence" Mr.. Murphy is
seen in his old part of Jason Green ca
role in which he formerly scored one
of his greatest triumphs) n Miss
Dorothy Sherrod appears in the oppo-
site part to the star.
Mr.. Murphy selected "Old Inno-
eence" as the bill for the present sea-
son for the reason that II was unques-
tionably Of the most acceptable to
his legion of admirers n now that he
has the entire field alone in the line
made famous by the late Joseph JET
