Players Of Other Days.
(By Robert Grau.)

Although the Union Square The
atre was originally a theatre of va
rieties and is now conducted as such, I
its place in theatrical history will be
due to the unexampled career of
Shook & Palmer's Stock Company,
which was a body of players such as
the American stage has never seen
duplicated.
For twenty years, under the ar
tistic direction of Albert NJ. Palmer,
this model organization was kept in
tact, afterward moving into the Mad
ison Square Theatre.
Notwithstanding its prolonged ac-
tivity the Palmer company rarely
! produced more than two plays a
year. And some of the more notable
successes ran a full season.
! OF these, THE Two Orphans, +"
Rose Michel" Jim the Penman, ."
Led Astray," "The Lights O. Lon
don" and Captain Swift" were the
most in favor with the public, though
artistically considered, Daniel Ro-
chat" and The Danicheffs" reflect
ed the greater credit on management
and players alike. 1t was the unpar-
alleled triumphs achieved at the
Union Square Theatre that started
the combination system through
out the country. Previous to thi.
period stock companies and visiting
stars provide ! the sole entertainment
, for playgoers in the smaller cities
as we'll as in those of larger popula
, ton. But the advent of "the grea
> Union Square Theatre success" wa
, an announcement eagerly awaited
everywhere.
The first companies to tour tn
country were under the management
, of Charles Furbish, who secures
from Mr.. Palmer the road" right
for the Union Square hits. Tn
o financial outcome from this arrange
o ment was so good that companie
=, were organized at every turn.
: THE Rialto," then on Unio
f Square, soon became the scene of a
3. theatrical activity. Such thing a

n conduct of his business affairs wa

inge, Charles X. TnoTne, Mckee Ran

OF these Clara Morris has retired
from stage work and occupies her

in her zenith, and Kate Claxton is

MOVIES ROUT SALOONS
In Pennsylvania Town They Have
Compelled Bars to Close for
Lack of Patronage.

GOllSNllle, Gd., Dec. 0l.-MOtlOn
pictures have compelled the retire
ment in Schuylkill county of 100 sa-
loonkeepers. They will give up their
enterprises upon the expiration of |
their licenses March l.
Notifications sent out from the Of
fices of Clerk Brice of the license !
court, calling for renewals, brought
responses from a hundred retail deal
ers that they intend to abandon their
business In each of the hundred
cases the dealers laid upon exhibit
ors the responsibility for their dis
continuance of business.
Exhibitors in Schuylkill county
contend that the suspension of activ-
tiles by 100 saloonkeepers because
OF motion pictures is a great victory
for manufacturers and showmen
alike. 1t is one of the most signal
accomplishments of cinematography
directed toward moral achievements
of years.
Maintenance of strictly moral pro-
grams in the various theatres in the
county, and the showing of pictures
! depicting the results of inebriacy,
| have formed the bulwarks of the bat
| tie waged against the salOonkeeper.
| First-class amusement of a popular
nature has competed successfully
with the higher priced and less re-
munerative forms of entertainment
provided for their patrons by the sa-
loonkeepers, and in consequence the
exhibitors have won out.
The saloons. heretofore. have been
the meeting places of men in all of
the towns and villages in the coun-
~. With the introduction of high
class motion picture shows of an
educational and entertaining nature,
the barroom patronage simultaneous
! ly started to decline. Proprietors of
the saloons fought hard to overcome
the competition, but their efforts, di-
rected to take from the homes the
foundations of their existence,
proved inferior to the more elevating
standards of competition adopted by
the exhibitors. Former patrons of
the saloons discovered that in addi-
ton to giving their children money
for theatre tickets, they too derived
sufficient pleasure from the motion
picture exhibitions to attend them
consistently
Extreme surprise prevails among
societies and religious organizations
antagonistic to the welfare Of motion
pictures, following the announce
ment by the clerk of the license
court that 100 retail liquor dealers
have been abliged to suspend busi-
ness because of the activities of mo-
ton picture exhibitors. Consterna-
ton and Indignation is rampant in
the minds of those self-styled critics
who deemed their attitude, adverse
to the interests of cinematography
the sane one.
Ministers, city and county officials
heads of fraternal societies and lead
ers in almost every line of industry
in the county have commented upon
the almost impossible fact that mo,
ton pictures have brought about the
achievement OF great prohibition
victory.

GRANTS PASS ROUTE
Route of Proposed Municipal Road
to Crescent City Given Out
Work to Begin Soon.

Preliminary details for the begin
ming of work on the railraOd from
Grants Pass to Crescent City have
been completed and actual construc-
ton will commence as soon as the
outline maps are finished and filed
with the land office at Roseburg. 1t
will be the first of February before
any money from the bonds voted will
be available, as it takes thirty days
after the council has passed an or
dinance calling for the bids. w. w.
Harmon, formerly county road en-
gineer, is chief engineer of the new
road, and Bert Anderson is chief
draughtsman. Both are we'll known
locally.
The route for the first twenty
miles has been completed and shows
that the first sixteen miles will pre-
sent no difficulties. The Rogue is
crossed 500 feet above the old rail-
road bridge near Grants Pass and
then for two miles the coad contin-
ues down the river, but from one
fourth to one-half a mile away from
it, being about on n parallel with the
Crescent City wagon road. The sur
very then follows close to the county
road across Jerome prairie to th'
, Applegate river, which stream il
crossed three miles above its moutl
near Wilderville. There are m
grades for this distance, and TN
only curve of consequence is the on
at the Applegate crossing.
After crossing the Applegate tn
road continues up Slate creek to th
Hays hill divide. This divide
between the seventeenth an
eighteenth mile posts on the roa
out from Grants Pass, and here ar
the only grades and curves on tn
entire route. A 1,732-foot tunne
cuts through this divide, the eleva
tion being 1900 feet, a raise c
about 600 feet above Grants Pas
There is one loop covering a distanc
of one mile to gain half a mile
making the last rise to the tunnel eI
trance, but the heaviest grade is onl
2 per cent, and that for a short di
tance only. The curve at this poiI
is 10 degrees. Once through Ha!
hill, the survey strikes the Illino
valley and follows the watercour!
largely from there.
