cipating. Mr., and Mrs. Paquette left on

valuable presents. Mr.. and Mrs A. j

large circle of friends who wish them
long and prosperous welded life.

George Spauldins Commits Sui.
ciaA

Word was sent to the village Friday
morning from Alonzo Curriers', on the
East Burke road, announcing the death
of George Spaulding,, and .Messrs f. A..
Bemis and l.. W. Stevens went out there
to assist in preparing, the body for! burial
While so engaged Mr.. Bems discovered
in the right hand of the deceased a
loaded revolver, thumb around the trig-
ger. Only one chamber was empty, and
with the bullet from that Mr., Spaulding
had shot himself through the heart.
The shot was not heard, and until the
discovery of the revolver death was sup
posed to be due to natural causes, for
the deceased had been in poor health
for some time, Respondent, and of late
had frequently remarked that he would
not live great while longer. He re-
tired at his customary hour Thursday
night, and was called for breakfast Fri.
day morning when he replied he would
rise later, that he wanted no breakfast
then. At 10 O'Clock his room was en-
tered and he was found to be dead. Flu.
neral service was held Sunday, the Rev
Thomas Hall officiating. The body was
to be taken to East Charleston for inter
meLt but after proceeding short dis,
lance the party was compelled to return
owing to the impossible condition Of
the roads, and the body was placed il
the receiving vault. Mr.. Spaulding wa:
a sober, industrious man, and his un
timely end is much deplored by hi'
friends.

These letters were sent from Montreal
to Coaticock by express, consigned to a
party named Cooley, were then carried
overland to Norton Mills by the boy
Guyon and mailed, and the replies,
which were numerous, were taken by
him back to Coaticook to be forwarded
to Montreal by express.

Naming Theaters

In building a new theater nothing
taxes the ingenuity of the owner so
much as to find for it a name which
shall be at once appropriate, distinctive
and attractive. OF all the four score
theaters in Greater New York. it is
singular that only one was named after
a great stage celebrity of the past.
This one exception is the Garrick, and
even this house did not originally pay
this fitting tribute to the illustrious
dead, for it was at first named after
the we'll known comedian, Edward
Harrigan, who built it. But when
Richard Mansfield secured proprietary
control of the Thirty-1ifth street play
house he did not insist on giving the
house his own name, as other stars in
their vanity have done, but decided to
honor the memory of one of the great
est players the English speaking stage
has known-David Garrick.
1t has been, and is still, a common
custom for actors and managers to
name their theaters after themselves.
Two theaters in this city have been
known as Wallack's. The first house
by that name was built by James w.
WallaclI in 1861, on the northeast cor
ner of Broadway and Thirteenth street,
and when later his son, Lester Wal
lack, following the uptown movement,
dedicated the new theater at Broadway
and Thirtietb street, he felt that he
owed it to posterity to endow it with
his name But alas. the name was not
Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-08

land theaters and their own chain of
houses, out far as Kansas City, the
Shuberts are already in full fledged
operation.
The Shuberts, by past showing, are
not personally the big men that
handling such a circuit requires. John
Cort has only worked in the west, and
the middle west. southwest and east
are terra incognito to him. Who knows
the whole map, east and west, north
and SOUTH, on both sides of the big
pond? Martin Beck.
No one has asserted that it is Becks
ambition to be the dictator of Ameri-
can theatricals in all its branches. No
one has suggested that he had 1T in
mind-out lOud-least Of all himself.
Beck does things first and talks after
wards, as is the Orpheum habit.
But If that is Martin Beck's aim, he
certainly looks nearer in sight of it
than he ever did before. He certainly
hasn't been getting control of theaters
in flocks-four in Los Angeles for In
stance-just for fun or for the sake of
blowing in even the enormous revenues
of the Orpheum circuit.
Watch Martin Beck!

OLYMPIC-Many have been the
pleasant surprises which Alphin and
Fargo have pleased their patrons with,
but the pleasantest was the presenta-
ton of Mable Bunyea, the new prima
donna. who made her debut to Los
Angeles last Monday. Her immediate
success, due to her enhancing beauty
and delightful charm, coupled with
rare talent, established her at once
firmly in the good graces of Olmypic
regulars.
In "The Smugglers" Miss Bunyea
will have an excellent part. The comedy
is unique, as it deals with Southern
California scenes.
It tells of the efforts of two Germans
who have gone into the smuggling bust
ness to get a Chinaman in a barrel
across the Mexican border into Cali
fornia. Unfortunately, the barrel con-
tanning the Chinaman becomes mixed
with a barrel of chop suey intended
for a party given by the chief of the
custom house, who gets the Chinaman
instead. Then the trouble for the two
Germans begin and doesn't end until
the finale, a fire in the custom house,
due to an Indian uprising, proves the
heroism of the little Dutchmen and all
ends happily. Jules Mendel will be one
little German and Pete Gerald will be
the other. Walter Spencer, Leonard
Brisbane. Laurel Atkins Blair and the
full force of the Olympic cast will ap-
pear. Blossom Seeley will present
brand new speciality. The chorus, in
ten new singing and dancing novelties,
should prove captivating.
PRINCESS THEATER-"The $50 900
Beauty" with Vera Blair Stanley in
the title role, is the merry melodious
musical melange to be presented by
the Princess musical comedy company
next week. The company has been
supplemented by the addition of Alfred
st, Johns, pleasing juvenile. An ex-
cellent rendition of this popular oper-
eta is promised. To enliven the ac-
tion of the piece, which in itself is
farcial and producing, several
attractive musical specialties will be
introduced. Perhaps the most novel
of these is burlesque Florodora sex
tet, participated in by the Taylor sis
ters and Miss Bessie Hill and Messrs
Sellar. Arbuckle and Ardath. 1t IS said
to be little short of a scream.

What Is Martin BeCk's Aim?

S MARTIN BECK aiming, with good
prospects Of success, at being the
master of legitimate theatricals, as
he is now admittedly cZar of vaude-
vile?
Preposterous, 1t would seem at first
glance. Yes, but to one "in the know"
who has followed the very rapid rise
and quick moves on the theatrical
chess board of this newest Napoleon Of
amusements, it isn't anything like so
impossible a dream on his part, nor
nearly so chimerical in accomplishment
Remember, not twenty years ago
there was no Orpheum circuit, and
Martin Beck was a waiter. He was the
inspiration and the moving force in
spreading the Orpheum tentacles till
they now absolutely cover the country
from Cincinnati west, in high class
vaudeville, and are unriVa1ed. He has
only lately extended a long arm across
the sea, and through the Barrasford-
Butt tour has secured score after score
of foreign houses. He is so big that
the "magnates" in New York, with
compared to him. and their power is
joke alongside his. And all this by a
man who was unknown less than tWen-
ty years ago, and who is but little past
40 years old would hardly seem to be
the limit of even his powers or ambi-
tions.
Beck never dabbled in the "legiti
mate" but once He had a show on the
road at one time, and did well with it.
But he ran up against the X d e. or
syndicate bOokngs-and learned from
personal experience what that meant,
with its per cent gross to X. q E.
and routes as suited their convenience.
Possibly he did that merely al a feeler,
for Beck looks not one year but ten
years ahead at one glance.
X &, E. dabbled in Vaudeville-once.
1t cost them, expert at the theatrical
game as they are, $2,500,000 before they
could get out alive. Beck was the main
instrument in the sell-out to the allied
vaudeville interests. That is point to
rernmeber. one of the clauses in the
sell-out was that no one concerned in
the X. & +. vaudeville game should go
back into vaudeville, in any shape or
form or fashion, for ten years. When
the Shuberts the first time broke with
K. q +. one of their strongest men
was Felix Isman Of Philadelphia. When
he failed to come through they sur
sendered. When William Morris broke
with the United vaudeville crowd In the
east one Of his reputed hackers was
this same Isman That Is why a suit
for a forfeit of $250,000 is pending
against Isman, by the eastern vaude-
vile magnates, also why there is no
love for Isman.
William Morris, in his so-called indie
pendent vaudeville, has something of a
circuit in the east. He has never
touched Orpheum territory with the
slightest degree Of success save in New
Orleans, where alone he has managed
