Gayetyt Mollie
Williams Co. BurIesque.


Mollie Williams own company,
headed by Miss. Williams, herseIf, the
manager, actress and producer, plays
its annual engagement at the Gayety
Theater this week.
Foremost among the novelties is
the dramatic number "The Dance l.
Enticement," in which Miss Williams
and Frank Manning take part.
Instead OF being a terpsichorean
speciality, as might be imagined from
the title, the actual dance comprises
only a small part OF the number. The
sketch tells OF the love of, a bandit
for a girl and how the latter shoots
him, after an exciting chase, when he
attempts to force his attentions upon
her.
Two main burlesques. entitled "The
Halloween Party" and Some Sani-
tarium," serve to introduce the tai
ents of the members of the company,
during the action OF which several
specialtjes will be given introduction,
among them "The New Night Clerk"
by Teddy Burns.
Besides those already named, the
cast includes Eva Malvin. Frankie
Burns, Florence Kelly, Roscoe Aills,
Simon Myers and Jack Duffy.
Among the musical numbers are
the following: THE Meaning OF the
u. S. A" "Oh, How She Could Yacki
Hacki Wicki Woo" Nashville" and
I'm Going to Make Hay While the
Sun Shines"

Swimming For All
VfolinlHtH!


Rae Eleanor Ball. the young vio-
mist, is an enthusiastic swimmer,
and, strange to say, attributes in a
great degree her skill on the violin
to her constant devotion to swim
ming. Every day during the summer
months, she spends at least an hour
on the beach of Lake Erie at Cleve-
land, Ohio, where she has her sum-
mer home.
at may sound foolish when say
that a good violin player should be
a good swimmer" Miss Ball said re-
Gently in an interview, but don't
forget this-that swimming exercises
every muscle in the body-and 30
does violin, playing. Think OF the
awful strain on the muscles OF the
shoulder in violin playing. Saving
wood or sweeping Is a joke compared
with it. know, because I have
done all three. And the arms and
fingers II you don't want to
believe me, just try 1t yourself some
day. And then think how many,
many hours every day violinist
must spend standing erect on his
feet before audiences and in practIc-
ing. So my best advice to a young
violin player is learn to swim When
YOU can swim half n mile in what
we who live along Lake Erie con-
slider a fairly heavy sea, then you are
almost strong enough to start play
ing the violin in deadly earnest"

Tennyson's Brook Had
Nothing On isis Hopkins"

When astonishment at the long life
OF sis Hopkins'' ceases, and one ac-
cepts the rural comedy drama as a
thing to go on forever, there is still
the cheering thought that this partic-
ular play has turned over to Rose
Melville a snug profit. of about $780,
900 in the years 1t has been travelling
about the country.
1t has been estimated that during
the years IL has lived this play has
probably had upward of 5000 perform
ances, yet the present tour shows no
signs of diminishing interest. OF the
great American dramatic successes
isis Hopkins" must be classed among
the FIRST four. About the only plays
that date back further are Way
Down East" The Old Homestead" :"
and Ben Hur" isis Hopkins" seems
to live because its appeal is human
and its people are real.

Some Facts About
Ten Star Artists.


Eddy Brown and Helen Staniy, who
play here soon, have enviable records.
Brown Is a pupil Of Hubay. In his
third year at the Royal Academy Of
Budapest Brown attracted wide
spread attention to his playing.
Successes in England followed those
on the Continent, and then, after q
concert tour OF five months, IL was de-
cided that he should go to st. Peters
burg for final coaching under Prof.
Leopold Auer. Auer, like Hubay, be-
came deeply attached to the young
yiolinist, and has followed his career
with pride.
Helen Stanley was engaged to sing
Micaela to Geraldine Farrer's Carmen
in the performances OF the Bizet opera
given under the management of c. A.
Ellis, of Boston. The role is consid-
cred one OF the best in the sopranos
repertoire.
In the concert field, Miss Stanley has
become popular, though her operatic
successes have been pronounced.
During her first season as a member
OF the Chicago Opera Company, she
created the leading soprano role In
the first American performance of
Kienzrs "Kuhreigen."
She was chosen for The special per-
formance of the same opera given at
