Washington, June 1.-The recent
decisions of the supreme court in
the Standard oil and American To-
bacco company cases will result in
sweeping attempt to secure criminal
conviction OF violators of the anti
trust law, according to Attorney
General Wickersham, while before
the house committee on expendi-
lures in the department of justice.
Mr.. Wickersham was asked why the
government thus far had failed to
lodge any trust magnate" in prison.
I'VE have done the best we
could" he said. but there has heen
an unwillingness on the part OF the
iuries and courts to sentence men to
prison under the antitrust law.
Until the supreme court laid down
its definite construction in the two
cases just decided. this reluctance
was well Understood for the law has
always been open 10 question. ami

coming more willing nov. however.
to convict and judges who have been
reluctant to impose prison penalties
now have the supreme court decis-
ions to sustain them"
Mr.. Wickersharn said he believed
prison sentences would be the most
effective means Of enforcing respect
for the anti-trust law. Criminal
prosecutions pending against the
meat packers. milk dealers, grocers.
the naval stores and window glass
combinations and other alleged yio-
lators of the ANTITRUST law. he said.
would be augmented by other prose-
cutions. On this subject the govern
ment had definite plans. Represen-
tatiye Beall, OF Texas. chairman OF
the investigating committee. asked
why there had ben no criminal pro-
ceedings against the heads OF the
Standard oil and tobacco .eorpora-
tions.

The attorney general was closely

refused TO disclose the governments

REVEALS ON BROADWAY
ARE BORES TO GOTHAMITES
Little that Is New and Much that Is Old on Boards of
Great White Way.

Harris. Sam recently returned from
Europe, where he had been looking
over the field, and had incidentally ac-
quired a strong aversion to European
born plays. He said that he and his
Yankee Doodle" partner, George M.
Cohan, intend to produce no less than
ten American plays.
OF the revivals during the past week,
none was more prominent than that
of The Spring Maid" Miss Christie
Macdonald, who has acquired hus-
band since her last appearance, was
given a hearty welcome, as were other
members of the cast.
Despite the fact that the airs from
this tuneful opera have been played
all over during the past year, the piece
does not grow stale, and from present
indications. it should run well into the
present season.
The resumption Of the run of CAS- a
Man Thinks" at the Thirty-ninth
Street Theater. is in the natural of a
personal ovation to John Mason, whose
superb acting, coupled with Augustus
Thomas strong lines. have made this
distinctly American play one. that will
go down in theatrical history. as one of
the really worthwhile pieces of the
decade.
Both Mason and his supporting cast
have profited by their vacation, and
are presenting the drama with a force
and effect that augurs well for its run
during the new season.
Excuse Me-" now back IN it's old
home, the Gayety, was one of the few
farces that got by the critics last year,
and its reception this week shows that
the theatergoers have not forgotten the
great Pullman farce" and are as
ready as ever to patronize the laughter
provoking production.
In fact, so popular did Excuse Me"
become last year that it was said that
had it continued its performances
through the heated months it might
have rivaled the drawing power of
''Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford," a play
whose perennial popularity is nightly
drawing S. r. o. audiences, though it
has been running steadily since last
September
Hello, Paris" a brand-new revuette,
has been added to the cabaret show at
the Folies Bergere. The scene is laid
in a Partisan cafe, with James ]. Nor
ton as master of the revels and the
dances staged by Ned Wayburn.
The numbers consist of THE Frisco
Fizz,' siberian Dip" and Fascination
Waltz" besides a speciality called the
Newspaper Girlies," during which the
great New York dailies form the raj
ment of some very pretty young
women.
Henry B. Harris plans for the COM
ing season are more elaborate than
ever before. Among the new produc-
tions will be comedy entitled 'Snobs,"
in which George NJ. Mcintyre will star:
maggie Pepper with Rose Stahl in
the title role; Robert Edeson in The
Cave Man." Helen Ware in a new play
by George Broadhurst, entitled THE
Price," and Elsie Ferguson in Dolly
Madison" One of his greatest UNDER
takfngs will be the presentation of

History from Street Names.

Teaching history from street names is
the aim of the Paris municipal council.
The idea is the instruction of children
pnmarily, but it will have the effect of
irnparting knowledge to ''grown-up chill
dren." Some of the street corners bear
the names of those famous in history OH
iron plates on a blue ground with white
letters, and it is proposed to deal with
all thoroughfares in this way. Already
a beginning has been made with places
bearing the names of saints.
An idea of the project can be obtained
from some of the names which have been
fixed, for instance, Rue RivoH, French
victory, 17g7;'' Avenue Victor Hugo,
French poet and novelist, 1S02-S5;'' ''Rue
Lincoln, famous President of the United
States, 1S09-65."

A Reversible Floor.

The floor in the Apollo Theater in Paris
is reversible, one side being made for
dancing, the other being the usual in
clined moor equipped with the folding
seats of a theater auditorium.
The tioor is mounted On a horizontal
axis, on which it revolves. 1t is built
on a framework of steel girders. has an
area of $500 square feet, and weighs 100
tons. The axis, which is parallel to the
front of the stage, is not in the middle
of the thickness of the floor, says the
Cement Age, but nearer to the seating
surface than to the dancing surface. The
floor swings through an eXvacation over
thirty feet in depth.

By EMORY b. CALVERT.

New York, Aug. 1s-Although unctuous
unison has ushered in New York's theat-
rical season, and although managers.
critics, and actors alike solemnly aver
that said season is lusty young creature,
ready at any moment to farther scores Of
dramatic progeny, the theatergoing pub
lie is beginning to think that they are
wrong, and that the theatrical season
of 1911-12 is a hoary centenarian, who,
this year, has not even taken the trouble
to mask his aged features with the illu-
sion of youth.
This notion of perspicacious New York
ers seems to be amply borne out by the
failure of the new season to disclose any
thing new, with the exception of its de-
butantes, THE Real Thing" at Maxine
Elliott's, and 1.-The Girl of My Dreams"
at the Criterion, both of which are made
of dramatic material worn and corroded
by time In fact, so far it is safe to say
that the new season is nothing more or
less than the old, awakened after some
weeks Of heat Information. All it has
brought forth to date is a resumption of
last seasons successes.
However, there is hope even for the
aged, and the optimistic can distin-
guish in the continuance of such plays
as Excuse Me-" at the Gayety; "As a
Man Thinks at the Thirty-ninth Street;
THE Hen-Pecks," at the Broadway, and
THE Spring Maid at the Liberty, an
early season caution on the part of theat-
rical producers that is nothing more or
less than a test of the new crop of the
ater patrons-a try-out to ascertain pop
ular dramatic predictions, that they
may harness art" to the business of
garnering shekels.
In fact, the aged appearance of the
theatrical season is but a mask, and
unless the assertions of managers and
producers are colored with early sea-
son enthusiasm, New Yorks SHOW
leftover" season, with its hoary locks
and faltering step, will assume a fe-
cundity that will rival the latest per-
formance of Mrs. Anna Conda, the Zoo
python, who brought into the world
no less than forty-two young hopefuls
at one sitting. The unthinking hope it
will, but the thoughtful cast a doleful
eye at last years list of failures and
venture suggestion anent quality at
the expense of quantity.
Another wall has gone up from that
poor down-trodden creature, the COM
mon people, over the announcement
that the high cost will result in an
advance in the price of theater seats.
This startling piece of information
comes from no less an authority than
Mr.. Lee -Shubert. who recently returned
from Europe. Shubert predicts musical
comedy at SO instead of 81 and $3.50;
plays with big stars at $3.50 to SO, and
the common or kitchen variety of
drama at 81. This is an advance Of
from so cents to 81 on each seat. And
as plays are already on the free list,
we can't even appeal to Congress.
Mr.. Shubert concludes his interview
with the remarkable statement: 81
don't think the theatergoers care a
snap what you charge them if you give
them what they want" Perhaps he's
right.
An announcement that augurs we'll
for American playwrights comes from

Howe Pictures at the Columbia

TO meet royalty officially is one thing.
To meet royalty at home, at a house

try gentleman and the Queen a lovable
friend. is another IS the declaration of
Lyman H. Howe, the last to obtain a
portrait of the late King Edward and
the first to obtain Of the same monarch
an animated picture of his private life.
The pictures he will present at the Co.

no question as to the accuracy of his
observation.
The camera man impressed the ex-
hibitor of the value of his reproduction.
The scene is at Sandringham, Norfolk,
the Kings private estate. More than
1000 pheasants were shot, most of them
by the King and his son George W.
They are both crack shots" There
are striking scenes of each point in the
