THEATRICAL GOSSIP
 FROM NEW YORK

New York, Nov. 7.-(Special Corres- respondence of the Republican )-The
 bleak November winds are sweeping
 Broadway and cutting into the thin
 fall clothes of many a prominent actor
 and actress. as he or she walks the
 length of all the dramatic agencies
 in quest of positions that will assure
 them sufficient money to fee the jani-
 tor of their apartments to turn on the
 steam for the winter. Truth is, many splendid actor is idle because of the unprecedented number of outright fail ures this season. Quite four out of , five plays produced have been with drawn after two weeks. or after drag
 ging on without patronage enough to pay for the electric signs in front of
 of the playhouses. For this reason
 many well known players are turning their thoughts towards the vaudeville theatres, where the terrOrs of the two a-day are forgotten in the joy of the prospect of continued employment at three, or even four, figured salary. The line between the Legitimate" and vaudeville is now almost as complete ly obliterated as the Mason and Dixon line which distinguished the rebel" from the rank. Time was when an
 acter felt a little ashamed to enter the ranks of the vaudevillains. giving
 as his apology for so doing. 'I really
 need the money" Now all that is
 changed, and the question is rather will the vaudeville managers accept | me? For an actor must make good s.. .l, l..
 peare tells us that "a good name is better than riches. but in vaudeville good act is betetr than good name, and means riches for the acteor.
 A few years ago many gold bricks were handed the patrons of vaudeville. Today an act must win out on it's mer- it. This is the reason why so many actors from the legitimate stage-fail in this lucrative field-they think any old thing will do for Keith and Proc tors. As a matter of fact, the au- diences at these splendidly conducted theatres are of the best types of New Workers. Percy Williams Alhambra and Colonial are family theatres of the highest type. where 1t is quite safe for a wife to take her husband. Clean, wholesome entertainement prevails at these houses. and acts like w. H. Thompson. in For Loves Sweet Sake" and Robert Hilliard in The Man Who Won the Pool" serious as they are, have scored tremendous sue cesses. The managers of these houses devote all their walking hours to studying how to please the tickle pub lie They do not claim to give "ad- vanced vaudeville" for the simple req son that perfection cannot be perfect ed, and in their case vaudeville had all ready made such strides that it could advance no further.
 Speaking of the vaudeville theatres reminds me of an amusing incident that occurred the other day at the Vic toria-which. as everybody knows is veritable mint for she Hammerstein exchequer, under the astute guidance of William Hammerstein. whose pro- fits each week are so amazingly large as to offset the thousand a night sal aries that Hammerstein pere is play

When the lights went on, Theodore Bouton- ierre Marks was seen nonchantly lean ing over oscars tile. and after greet ings were exchanged. Marks said: Why I'm astonished to see you here I thought ali your time was devoted to Grand Opera these days!" Where upon. smiling like the cat that swal- lowed the canary. oscar replied, 70, II go summing occasionally" Isn't that a classic?
 In a chat the other day with Theo- dorc Liebler the man behind the bank roll in the George Tyler enterprises. that gentleman expressed himself as believing taht the biblical drama will be the drama of the future. I have heard more than one astute manager say the same thing. Said Mir. Liebler We are waiting for the hoodoo that seems to have settled upon the theat- rican season this year to lift. before we put on a production that will cost s50.000 or more. We know, 1t will eclipse any play of this sort ever pro- duced, It was written by Paul Potter around Joseph and Potiphar's Wife. Knowing the fascinating wiles of Mrs. Potiphar I feel sure that the play should be actable. nor justly chargable. as are most poetic plays. with having been sacraficed to the purely literary side" So we must wait to see the naughty Mrs. Potiphar.
 In the meantime, MT. Tyler beam ingly tells me that Eleanor Robson is playing to capacity business. But why shouldn't she? With her sweet. unaffected personality, and 'Salomy Jane" (than which there never has been a better Western play) and cast of uniform excellence, why shouldn't the public flock to see her? Tyler is truly a lucky man! Things seem to fall his way. Here he is wait ing for wireless news of the ship that is bearing the languorous eyed Mrs. Patrick Campbell to these shores. and coincidental with this. Walter Law renee is producing at this hour his new play by Rachel Brothers, "The Coming of Mrs. Patrick" Hence all the news paper stuff and advertising matter for which Mir. Lawrence is paying. serves double purpose. Ergo. George Ty- Ter and Theodore Liebler smile and smile again,
 Iris an i'll wind. etc. The shocking news of Raymond Hitchcock's fall from grace because of a scandalous charge, and that convulsive comedians disappearance from his former haunts. has proved blessing to an unknown young man from the West, who has been his understudy.
