Gertrude Hoffman in broadway to
Paris" is the scheduled attraction at the
Belasco this week, where she will give
four matinees, Tuesday. Wednesday, Fri
day, and Saturday. This attraction was
originally produced in Boston, where it
was supposed to remain only two weeks,
but the engagement was prolonged four
different times, making the total run one
OF ten weeks. New York saw the pro-
ductlon for nearly three months, and it
was voted the speediest of all the varie-
gated entertainments which have been
seen at the Winter Garden.
broadway to Paris has not only
turned out to be one of the most sue
cessful entertainments which has ever
been on view on New York stage, but
also one of the most unconventional. No
other show has ever ended with fifteen
minutes OF DurIesque bicycle act. ThIs.
however, is characteristic OF the per-
formance. 1t is the American version OF
the French for farm entertainment
known as a revue, in which every thing
can be introduced.

lowing well-known entertainers make up
the roster OF the company: Barney Ber-

PLEASURE INTERPRETED WITH
WORK; GAVE UP WORK

There is an old warning which tells
US to give up pleasure II il inerferes with
our work. but it was by reversing this
condition Of affairs that launched Ju-
lian Eltinge on a career which has since
made him famous as one OF the most
popular and wealthy stars on the stage
to-day. Years ago. before Eltinge dream

Broadway. this young man. who is now
celebrated as the greatest impersonator
Of woman in the world. was working in
a department store in Boston at the mu-
nificent salary of s. a week His boss
was a side-whiskered old man, who be-
ieved in keeping the nose of every EN-
ploye under him to the grindstone from
the moment he entered the store in the
morning until he left it at o'clock.
Eltinge worked as faithfully as the other
clerks, but il the truth must be known,
his mind was not always in the store.
1t was often roaming in those unknown
and mysterious fields of the future.
searching for something-it knew not
what.
But when a local male organization
staged musical spectacle. all the parts
being enacted by men and boys, with
Eltinge in the chorus, dressed up like
a little girl or fourteen, his roaming
thoughts reached their goal. Then and
there he made up his mind TO be an actor.
Before the performance was half over
every eye in the huge auditorium was
focused on the boy in the chorus whose
makeup, as a girl was SO perfect that
excited whispered questions shot through
tho house regarding his identity. No one
ir Boston had ever heard of the name
on the programme, that of Julian Eltinge
and it was not until the next day, when
the newspapers were extolling his abil-
tiles in column articles that it was dis
covered that Julian Eltinse' was none
other than little Billy Dalton, of the de-
partment store.
BiIly's triumph did not please his side
whiskered boss, however, and at the
noon hour he called the amateur actor
to his office.
Billy he said, severely, you had
better give up theatricals; they interfere
with your work
"On the contrary. sir replied Eltinge.

And he quit that Saturday night. In
less than ten years his 50 week salary

STORY OF CHRISTENING
NOTED COMEDIENNE

Here is the story of the "christen
ing of May Irwin. II occurred long
time ago, but not as long as you think.
To begin with, the stout party
whose laugh has echoed from coast to
coast, making the whole nation laugh
with her, was never related to any
body by the name OF Irwin, and none
of her sisters, OF her cousins, or her
aunts are called May. From the time
she first blinked at the light until she
was seven years old, she was Ada
Campbell. and 1t was under that name
that she ana her sister Flo nrsr step
ped forth on the stage in a little song
ambulance act. This was at George
McKinney's Theater Comique, in Ro-
chester.
Dan Shelby, or the Adelpnia Tnearer,
Buffalo. had seen the two little sisters
in an amateur entertainment. and he
was so taken with them that he want
ed them to appear at his house. Eut
first he sent them to his friend McKin-
ney for two weeks Ito get q polish"
McKinney's patrons liked the young
instead OF two.
When they got back to Buffalo after
their triumphant run in Rochester.
they hurried around to the theater,
eager to see their names printed large
on the bills, where all their playmates
might read and envy them But on
the front of the theater big sign an

mention of the Campbell kids at all
Thinking their time had been cancelled
they burst into tears.
Mr.. Shelby found them standing in
the lobby boo-hooing.

asked.

BRYAN PRESENTS
HIS PEACE PLAN
Tells Ambassadors and Ministers Presi-
dent Desires New Arbitration
Trnatiac

Washington, April %. Secretary
Bryan yesterday laid before the Diplo.
matte corps his plans for an interna-
tional agreement for peace. Almost
levery ambassador and minister in Wash
ington was at the secretary's office at
moon in response to his invitation and
heard his explanation of the plan which
soon will be the basis Of treaty negota-
| tions.
THE statement presented to the diplo-
matte corps said Secretary Bryan, lis
only intended to set forth the main
proposition, namely, that the president
desires to enter into an agreement with
each nation, for the investigation of all
questions of every nature whatever. This
agreement is intended to supplement all
arbitration treaties. Arbitration treaties
already except some questions from arbi-
tration. The agreement proposed by the
president is intended to close the gap
and leave no dispute that can become a
cause for war without investigation.
"The time within which the report Is
to be made is left to be agreed upon, and
il may be that the time will differ in
different cases, but any time, however
short, that furnishes opportunity for in
vestigation ami deliberation will be suffi-
cient to secure settlement without re-
sort to war.
Each party is to reserve the right to
act independently after report is sub
mitted, but it is not likely that nation
will declare war after it has had an OPP
portunity TO confer, during the investiga-
ton, with the opposing nation.
But whether the proposed agreement
accomplishes as much as is hoped for it,
it is at least step in the direction of
peace, and | am pleased to be
the agent through whom the president
presents this proposition to the powers
here
