to make available fund which can be
utilized with discretion where urgent

FRANK HUNTER IS HEAD
OF BURLESQUE SOCIETY
Gayety Theater Star Hard
Worker for Cominq BettermentS

Frank Hunter, versatile Italian and
black-face star at the Gayety Theater
this week with the "Bcst Show in
Town." has has been elected president
OF the BurlesQue Improvement Asso-
citation, an Incorporated society OF
New York. which has as its object the
elevation of burleSque and the Incl
dental attractions thereto. II is an
association composed exclusively of
frst-rank theatrical stars, and in
cludes in its mebership some OF the
best-known cXponents Of the vaude-
vile and musical comedy stage.
Hunter accepted the presidency OF
the organization on condition that ne
be allowed to write a charter of by
laws' which will be framed for the
purpose Of excluding those artists
who by their work and conduct have
not justified the association in ad
mitting them TO membership.
The saying that there is nothing
now under the sun" is shattered some
what by this announcement. as this
is tho first organization OF theatrical
stars Of its kind in the country.
Burlesque docs not need any i'm
provement so far as its moral tone
is concerned. it is contendcd by
Hunter, but the artists composing the
Burlesque Improvement Association
are striving for betterment in other
ways. 1t is a fact that the books OF
the majority OF burlesquc shows are
composed by the artists themselves.
and many of them compose, also, their
own lyrics.
In order to bring tbout sharp COM
petition in the lines that people are
supposed to laugh at, the performers
will submit their work each year
from which the plots for the produt-
tions OF future shows will be selected.
In this way the composers hope to
avert confusion and prevent the pos
sibility of one show carrying the
same jokes and songs that the others
that have preceded II feature on their
programs and billing.
Hunter thinks that the last decade
has worked wonders with burlesque.
The shows of today, he points out, are
such that women outnumber the men
In the list of patrons that frequent
the theaters along the long chain OF
the Columbia circuit.
Washington, he regrets. Is one
city along the route where the stag
attendance excels that of the fair
patrons, but he is ready to admit to-
day that under the management of
Harry Jarboe the Gayety is rapidly
rising in the estimation of the fair
sex.
The Gayety star has been on the
Columbia circuit of shows for FIVE
years, and thinks burlesque offers
more opportunities to the profession
than any other branch of amusements.

that Taylor Holmes, OF Bunker

engagement at the Shubert-Garrick
Theater next Monday night, Decem-
ber 6, in new American comedy
drama. The Ghost Between" by VIM
cent Lawrence.
Mr.. Holmes has given many cN-
prcssions of his histrionic artistry;
for over fifteen years his characterize
tions have been gems of artistic con-
ception and depletion: whatever ne
ESSAYS he dominates with distinction
and sincerity, and his dramatic aims
have always been AMBITIOUS ana

In "Thc Ghost Between he is said
to have a character that fits him with
the nicely of the proverbial glove,
and one that is an excellent successor
to his inimitable Bunker Bean
His supporting company includes
Laura Walker, Glenn Anders. Daisy
Rudd. George Lyman, and William
Brown.

"POOr Little Ritz Girl"

A week of hilarity is promised at
Polls next week as Lew Fields sue
cessful musical comedy, "Poor Little
Ritz Girl" is scheduled to open on
Sunday night The piece comes
practically here from its run OF an
entire theatrical year at the Central
Theater New York. and a particularly
interest ing feature of the engagement
is the fact that Fields has retained
every one OF his principal artists:
This brings Andrew Tombes. Lulu
Mcconnell. Frederic Santiey. and a
cast of musical comedy favOrites
comprising, Florence Weber. Louise
Kelley, Peggy Van. Donald Kerr
Eugene Blair. ELISE Bonwit. Grant
Simpson and the adorable chorus OF
Ritz girls.
Another interesting feature OF the
engagement OF Poor Little Ritz Girl
is the fact that Mr.. Fields has placed
the price OF tickets at the pre-war
standard. This is unusual to present
an original company at the lower
scale of prices. but in the language
Of Mr.. Fields, at Is far better to sell
1 900 seats in the orchestra at WV
a ticket than ii is to dispose OF 40
at $500. The finish counts"
The introduction OF pre-war prices
in thcater tickets with guaranteed
original company must go to Lew
Fields.
II must be remembered that this
same company played an entire
theatrical wear at the Central
Theater. New York. at $500 for an
orchestra seat, and the scale OF prices
established in Washington for one
week will surely result in an answer

The Water-Poyer Bill.


The water-power leasing act that
Congress passed during the last ses-
sion is important legislation. In one
form or another the bill has been be-
fore Congress for ten years. II EN-
bodies a policy recommended by Pres
ident Roosevelt, urged by President
Taft and at last put into effect by Pres
ident Wilson. 1t is strange that So
obviously desirable law should have
waited so long to be enacted, but, since
it dealt with the private use Of public
lands, it was not easy to hit upon terms
that would suit all parties-conserva-
tionists and promoters alike. After a
fashion the opposing interests have al
last been reconciled, and the law
promises to be one Of the most useful
and popular that Congress has ever
passed.
The act permits private companies
to lease water powers on the public
lands for term of fifty years. The
companies pay an annual royalty to the
government, but do not gain complete
title to the property. At the end Of
fifty years the government may take
over the power plants by paying the
companies what they have spent on
them or it may renew the leases.
Enthusiastic writers for the news
papers predict the immediate ex-
penditures OF S75O,OOO,OOO for water
power construction under the terms
Of the law. They may be too sanguine.
for S750,OOO,0OO is a large sum of
money; but certainly some large and
costly undertakings Of the kind will
soon be begun. Water power is in
high favor with engineers and manu-
facturers because it is cheaper than
coal and because it is not affected by
the difficulties with labor and trans
portation that often make coal as hard
to get as it is expensive. Formerly
water power was less practical, be-
cause it was often far from the places
where manufacturing could most
economically be carried on; but the
growth of the high-power electrical
transmission lines has made water
power available for use scores and even
hundreds OF miles from its source.
The law will be of especial value to
the Far West, for the greater part of
our public land and the greater part of
our water power are there. California,
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana,
Colorado, Wyoming and Utah have
more "white coal" than all the rest of
the country put together. There is
sure to be a great industrial growth in
those States as a result of the new
legislation. The identification of the
great Western railway systems and a
tremendous increase in the use of
electric power in farming and for do
mestic purposes are among the ad-
vantages to which the people of the
Western country may confidently look
forward. 1t is probable also that the
new policy will hasten the commercial
development Of Alaska, to which the
country is beginning to look for other
things than furs and gold-pulp and
print paper, for example.
Congress and the President have
done we'll. They have put one OF the
great natural resources OF the country
to use for the benefit Of the people and
have guarded carefully against its
abuse or its control by private monopo-
ly.
