(By MAITLAND DAVIES)

With the opening of the regular theatrical season less than two weeks away, lovers of the draria are be- ginning lo take interest in what is to be offered to them. Just what eff rect II any the war will have on the season here IS Yet too late to figure on. II has already closed q pre3t many companies that started on the road and may kill off stin more. lut The general indications are tnut thea . iiIeal managers will look largely to ihe west and southwest for their
 money this season. Times may not Le as good here as they have been: but compared to conditions existing in the east We are in clover.
 With the two fairs opening early in tine new year d host of good com paEles will lay their routes so as to Teach the coast about that time and Phoenix should reap at least an in- direct benefit thereby.
 Whatever may come after. We are reasonably sure of one good attrac- ton for Too Many Cooks" is booked to open the EIks d week from Fri day, and il was one of the really pig uccesses in New York last season. it may be remembered that the sea son opened last year with Bought and Paid For a splendid company and corking play; but the bulk of the attractions that followed came away below the standard set by the opener We have talked with Parker Woodman and while he is very reti- cent about making predictions, We believe that he has arranged for at least number of good things to come.

Pretty Mrs. Smith Is Delayed

Can it be that the fair and flustry Fritzi is getting in her deadly work so soon? Pretty Mrs Smith" was produced at Albany last week for a needed work out before it's opening in New York and very glowing press reports were sent down about It; however instead of opening on its scheduled date in the big city 1t has been postponed for week at least, perhaps longer. The reason is said to be that the piece was found to be too long" on it's trial in Albany. Anytime that a modern producer cannot "cut" a play inside of two weeks it must be in a well nlgh hopeless condition or else the star is mighty exacting, and We know that Pretty Mrs. smith was a sue cess last season with Kitty Gordon in the stellar role.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Max Rabinoff, manager of Pavlowa, the great Russian dancer, is hot on the trail of a trio of dancers who are using the name "PavloWa" as part of the designation of their act He claims that the name "Pavlowa" means everything in the world of dancing today and that it's use by anyone other than the great dancer herself is serious infringement of tfe rights and perquisites of Madame This is called forth because "The PaVlowa Trio" are billed to appear at the Broadway Rose Gardens, New York's newest and most beautiful palace of the dance.

guarantees have been received from Cleveland, Pittsburg. Cincinnati, St
 Louis and other cities, and now that it is definitely settled that there will
 be no opera in either Chicago, Phil adelphia or Boston this winter, it is quite likely that arrangements will
 be made for the Century Co to give a short season in each of those cities Geraldine Farrar Ill
 Although the Metropolitan Opera Company has officially announced that the opera season will open as usual in November and that the opening opera will be Carmen with Caruso as Don Jose and Farrar in , the name part, it is not at all cer- tain that this will be the case A letter to New York from Munich in Germany. says that al the present time Miss Farrar is in a sanatarium there in a very serious condition as
 the result of severe operation which
 she was recently compelled to under
 go and that il is quite likely that she
 will be unable to sing this season.
 Bad Season for Flowers
 It would seem from the news re- ceived from New York that this is
 to be a bad year for horticulturists in the theatrical business Already there have been two heavy frosts and two of the most talked of produc- tions of the season have already been badly bitten. For instance when it was announced that George Ran dolph Chester's stories of Cordeia Blossom were to be dramatiZed it was considered that it would be one of the big hits of the season; how ever fate decreed differently and al though Cordelia blossomeu in due season, the weather was indictment or maybe she was too much of an exotic for the harsh northern climate, at any rate she withered rapidly and died possibly an untimely but cer- tainly a very effectual death last week and will be seen and heard no more.
 In the week just passed another delicate flower, Miss Daisy a musi cal comedy on Unusual lines" by Philip Bartholemas with music by Sil vio Hein, opened it's petals at the Shubert theater No lovelier setting could have been provided for a fair flower and the critics all agreed as to it's unusualness; but they were likewise unanimously of the opinion that il would have been better had it been less unusual and more en- tertaining One of the characters in the piece is required to say T am sick and tired of all this d-d non sense" and the critics and audience heartily agreed with the sentiment. It is already evident that this parti cular Daisy is not hardy enough to stand the rigorous New York winter ! and kindlier climate must be sought l if it is to grow either strong or i fra

New York, Aug. 8.-Dun's review

CURTIS IS SAFE
He Has Lead of 2,344 Over Sen.
atOr BristOw.
Only Three Counties Yet to
Hear From.

With returns from 1C2 Of los counties,
Charles Curtis this afternoon has plu-
rality of 2.S44 over Senator Joseph L.
Bristow for the Republican senatorial
nomination. With only Harper, Ness
and Stanton counties missing, Curtis
nomination by more than 1000 seems
assured.
Many western counties were heard
from today and they invariably gave
pluralities for Senator Bristow. The
vote in these counties was generally
light and the gains which the senior
Kansas senator made in these districts
was not .-...ficient to overcome the big
Curtis lead. While official returns will
make changes in some o. the returns,
no doubt. there is apparently no chance
for Bristow to win the nomination and
his friends have in most instances given
up the fight.

War, Say Berlin Newspapers.

Berlin. via Amsterdam and London,
Aug. S.-The German newspapers
complain about the diplomatic ma
neuvers carried out to make Germany
appear the disturber of the peace.
They maintain that it was Russia that
pushed Germany to war.
1t is reported here that the Germans
in France whs were unable to leave

to western France and compelled to
help with the harvest. They add that
German women in Russia are being

Matthias Erzeberger, leader of the
clerical party in the imperial parlia-
ment and chairman of the arms COM

are superior to those Of their adver-
