said that on the course of last year
about $175 had been cleared but that

EHerY and TaddeO

XTHAT can be accomplished by
wv persistence is shown by the
presence in the Ellery band of
Taddeo di Girolamo, the famous trum-
pet player. Di Girolano is what is
known as a "sticker," which means
that he is of very great fixity of pur-
pose and hard to be moved from one
band to another, even for the sake of
bettering his condition. Mr.. Ellery,
however. is likewise very firm in his
Intentions and he determined, on find
ing Taddeo In Los Angeles, that he
would have him in his band If the fight
for him took all winter.
So the manager became constant
friendly visitor at the trumpeter's s
house, where he discoursed more of
friendship and art than he did of en-
gagements. For eight long weeks Mr..
Ellery cultivated Taddeo's acquaint-
ance with quiet determination that
finally bore fruit in the complete cap
itulation of the trumpet player before
he knew "where he was at"
Ellery is determined to unite in his
band little by little, all the very best
artists of the italian school in Amer
lea, and of course the great Taddeo
belongs way up in the very front rank
of the category of the best" Both
manager and artist are happy now
and declare that nothing can ever
more sever their association.

Sarah Here, In q Tent?

near the close of the present
season she will almost certainly play
in a huge tent, which has been built
for her present tour. The tent has a
seating capacity of 5000 and is nearly
as large as a circus tent.
The only theater which would an
swer the requirements of the Divine
Sarah in this city is controlled by the
Klaw e. Erlanger theatrical combina-
tion, and Madame Bernhardt Is barred
from playing in trust houses. The
same conditions obtain in nearly ev-
cry city in the United States, and a
star who does not bow the neck to
the dictation of the trust is outlawed
from playing in the houses controlled
by 1t.
To get around these conditions the
tent was provided.
A portable stage is used, upon which
all the productions are given. AL
though 1t is but forty feet wide, the
attractions in which Bernhardt is to
play do not require a larger stage
space and 1t is ample for them
Since the tent idea was definitely
settled 1t was decided to make a Cali
fornia trip, also under canvas.
Madame Bernhardt's tour was origin
ally for twenty-five weeks, but has
been extended to thirty-five weeks,
bringing her season up to June 1. Civ
ing her plays In a tent will not be such
a great hardship to Madame Bernhardt
as might at first appear. Madame
herself will have the same accommoda-
tions in her tent as in the finest the
ater. She carries her own dressing
room. which is placed on the stage, and
no matter where she may be, her own
personal surroundings are the same.

His Little Joke

A VERY good story anent the en-
~ gagement of Louis James in Den
yer recently is told noW 1t
seems that Frederick Warde, now of
Los Angeles, spent two or three weeks
in and around the city at that time.
He went there for a weeks visit, with
his sons, playing in the Mansfield COM
pany, and then went out lecturing over
the state. He happened to be in the
city several days while James was
there and found opportunity to play a
joke on his old friend and co-star.
"Virginius" was being presented at the
Thursday matinee and the stage man
ager was selecting the supers. A gen.
tleman of advancing years and deep set
eyes appeared among them and inti-
mated that he would like to try how 1t
felt to wear one of those cheese cloth
bicycle skirts and carry a spear.
The stage manager put the ambitious
thespian through an examination. The
latter admitted shyly that he thought
he could go through the thing all right,
he even roared little to show that he
had a voice, and he drilled for a min
ute with a spear, but he now admits
that when the industrious master of
the shifting scenes declared that he
was pretty sure to be a failure that he
began to realize that it is a difficult
thing to break into the legitimate.
The recruit stood some good natured
guying in the crowded super room, he
who had long occupied rooms with a
star, but even the Veriest tyro among
them had to admit that the elderly man
got into his togs in astonishing time.
In the wings stood an astonished youth
who was doing the part of the boy who
carries the message to Virginius, and
he gave one look at the big super and
began to shake with laughter.
You, Milt, Ill spank you if you spoil
this said Mr.. Warde. 1t was young
Milton Mobiles, son of an eminent pair
of players. II am going on in your
place, see."
James was in the middle of the stage
and raving around about the treacher-
GUS death of his old friend. He gave
the cue which should have brought on
a painting youth to tell of the tricked
Virginia, but instead there stalked on a
big man hung with the worst fitting
buskins and doublet that actor ever
