ASK RECEIVER FOR
 MINING COMPANY
Cherokee Construction COmpake Yes. terday Brought Suit in Sebastian County Against the Prairie Creek Coal Mining Company.

Fort Smith Ark. April 16.-The Cherokee Construction Company has brought suit against the Prairie Creek Coal Mining Company. asking for the appointment of receiver and an ac counting.
 The plaintiff company ayers that it built and equipped the Midland valley railroad and is the owner of nearly all the bonds. Through the influence of Franklin Rache the company bought from the SmOkeless Coal Company for $40,00O the holdings formerly owned by the Prairie Creek Coal Company, and after purchase expended an additional $1OO,O0O. Denman and Bache control several mines and sought to lease the Prairie Creek company prop erty, but was refused a lease The complaint further states that T. w. M. that neither Bache nor Denman, or any of their allied interests, should in any way be given control of a lease made upon the organization of a company to be known as the Prairie Creek Coal Mining Company which was to operate tho mine upon certain royalty.
 The complaint alleges further that as soon as the lease was made all of the stock of the Prairie Creek Coal Mining Company and that since this transfer the mines have not been op- erated as they should be, in order that the output of other mines controlled by Bache and Denman and operated at lower rate or royalty might be worked to minimum output. The claim is made that though the Prairie Creek mine is much richer in coal than are the two other mines owned by pache and Denman, yet the proportion

of the Gayety company at the Grand
opera house. At the Grand Mr.. Giblyn
proved himself character comedian OF
ability; at the Burbank he will have
opportunities to prove himself along
other lines as well.
Eight years ago he played during a
season of five months at this same

pearances upon the Burbank stage.
Since then Mr.. Giblyn has had con-

Elizabeth Murray, a Los Angeles girl
whose home is in Walnut Lawn, has
been engaged to play the role of the
wife in one of the companies organized
by Henry w. Savage to play "The
Devil" on the road. The company will
play through New England and the
middle states. Miss Murray went east
six weeks ago, and when she left here
had not fully made up her mind
whether she would return to the stage
or come back to Los Angeles. For a
season she played Alice Farquhar in a
road company which presented "Sher-
lock Holmes" through the south, and
here played with the Belasco company
for short time.
Mr.. and Mrs William Bernard, who

Miss Maude Beatty. leading woman

that theater following the performance
next Saturday night. Her successor is
announced to be Miss Mildred Morton,
who came here q month ago from the
east to join the Fischer forces. but
who for some reason, never appeared
on Fischers stage.

Miss Beatty, who has worked con-

other local stage.

Favar will return to the vaudeville

were eager to hear them. The Jubilee
singers and the minstlels afforded them
the opportunity--crude, IL you please,
and false, but still 1t satisfied the de-
mand.
1.-THE other reason is that while in
former days there was no vaudeville
as we know 1t now, and variety, it's
predecessor, was not respectable, the
minstrel show, In its olio, gave a lot
of turns that while taken from variety,
were clothed with an ostensible re-
spectability by being planted in the
middle of minstrelsy. Thus people Sc
cured a sort of entertainment different
from the ordinary; one that they could
get almost nowhere else. They liked 1t,
and went in goodly numbers.
Then came vaudeville; variety in
another name, of course, but with the
stamp of responsibility attached. and
II became a fad. Only decade ago it
was unknown; now 1t Is the most pop
ular form of amusement we have. 1t
not only took the best variety acts
from minstrelsy, but 1t took the min
strel too. 1t took me; 1t took many
another of the old-time black-face art
lists, and injected them ipto its own
ranks, and 1t deprived the iminstrels of
their olio. People found that they
could see what after all was the essen
tiaY of minstrelsy, and good deal

Simply vaudeville shows in disguise.
The first part is thing OF glittering
tinsel and singing; the olio. is wholly

"Will there be a revival of minstrelsy
some day?" he was asked.
Never, on the old lines; 1t has sim
ply been supplanted. Vaudeville has
eliminated 1t from the scheme of
amusements. You hear of no new
names in minstrelsy, do you? No new
troupes of consequence? No one aris-
ing to dominate the field? There are
only one or two troupes travelling to-
day. When they go that will about

devoted to the benevolent fund of the
association. The organization is inter-
national in scope and limits its men,
bership to persons actually connected
with the theatrical profession.
The program will be provided by pro-

houses and from travelling organiza-

Zoe Barnett and will open at the

The company is expected to come to
the Grand for an extended engagement
next month and both Mr.. Kirkpatrick
and Miss Schuyler expect to return

One is that the people who formerly

of the songs of the negro cabins and
