Union Square Thea
ter and Morton
House to Be Raced

New York. Oct. 6.-Two historic
landmarks-theU Union Square Thea
ire and the Morton House-which
have stood for half century in
Union Square. at one time famous as
the center of New York's rialto. are
to be RACED to make way for more
modern structures.
The Union Square. built and
opened by Sheridan Shook in 1871,
began as variety house. Later it
became a first-class producing house
in which many of the famous actors
and actresses of the present day
made their debut. It winds up it's
career as a burlesque theatre.
AS a variety or vaudeville house it
opened with a program including the
Martinette-R avel troupe of panto-
mimists, the team Of Harrigan and
Hart and Jefferson De Angels.
When A. M. Palmer, who after
ward made the Palmer Stock Com
pany famous in America and Eng
land, was placed in. charge of the
theater, he began staging a series of
London REVEALS with Miss Agnes
Ethel, once leading lady for Augustin
Daily, in the lead. Others in the COM
pany were Kate Claxton, Clara Nor
ris, Eliza Weatherby, who after
ward became Mrs. Nat Goodwin;
Clara Jennings and Emily Mestayer,
James O'Neil, later of Monte Chris
to" fame; J. H. Stoddard, Mark
Smith. Charles r. Thorne. Jr., Maude
Harrison and Agnes Booth came
later.
New plays were soon added by the
company which took on other play
Aldrich, John Parselle. c. T. Parsole.
Minnie Palmer, Rose Eytinge.
F. f. Mackay, Marie Wilkins,
Charles Coghlan and Richard Mans
field.
The most famous success Of the
Union Square was the 1.-TWO Or
phans" translated from the French
and hawked about for $500 until
Palmer read it. The play ran $50
nights and was the sensation of the
theatrical season. Kate Claxton,
who played Louise, the blind girl"
bought it outright and played it for
20 years.
Other famous plays produced were
the 1.-THE Bankers Daughter" MY
Partner" 1.-THE Celebrated Case"
"Arkwright's. Wife," and Brighton"
The successes were followed by stock
productions in which Frank Mayo,
Minnie Palmer. Nelly Howard, Owen
Fawcett, Kate Denim Wilson, Charles
L. Harris. Lawrence d'Orsay and
Augustus Cook and others played.
The first performance of 1.-THE
Mikado" in New York was given in
the Union Square with Roland Reed
and Alice Harrison in the title roles.
In 1885, James NJ. Hill took the
theater and brought out new and
unheard of star, Margaret Mather
and put on Romeo and Juliet" Dur
ing his management, Chauncey Oh
colt. obtained his first engagement in
opera. A little later Charlie Chap
lin. now famous moving picture
comedian, made his debut in New
York. with a small part in a special
ty company which lasted a week and
was a frost. Later the theater was
turned over to Keith. who operated
1t as vaudeville house for many
years, after which it became a bur-
lesque stock house.
The history Of the theater and the

they adjoined. The latter was a.

actors and managers. It was also

OLD MAN COYOTE MEETS RED-
 DY FOX

No matter how you feel inside, Hold up your head! Call up your
 pride,
 Stand fast. Look brave, Then none
 will guess
 The fear you feel but won't confess.
 Jimmy Skunk learned this when he was very little fellow. Now he isn't afraid of much of anything, but there was a time when he was. Oh, my, yes, There was a time when he first started out to see the world. and before he had found out that all the world is afraid of that little bag of scent he always carries with him, when Jimmy often was as frightened as Peter Rabbit ever is. and you know Peter is very easily frightened. But Jimmy used to think of that little verse, and though sometimes he had to shut his mouth as tightly as he knew how. to keep his teeth from chattering with fear, he would hold up his head. stand fast. and look brave. What do you think happened? :? Why. in a little while people began to say that Jimmy Skunk wasn't afraid of anything, and so no one tried to bother him. Of course when he found this out Jimmy wasn't afraid.
 But Reddy Fox is different. He dearly loves to tell how brave he is. He brags and boasts. But when he finds himself in a place where he is afraid he shows it. Yes. sir; he shows it. Reddy Fox has never learned to stand fast and look brave. When Reddy had first been told that the stranger with the voice which had sounded so terrible in the night was Old Man Coyote from the Great West and that he had decided to make his home on the Green Meadows, Reddy had said, Pooh, I'm not afraid of him," and had sweiled himself up really meant it. But all the time Reddy took care, the very greatest care, to keep our of the way of Old Man Coyote
 Of course some one told Digger the Badger what Reddy had said, and Digger told Old Man Coyote. who just grinned and said nothing. But he no- ticed how careful Reddy was to keer out of his way, and he made up his mind that he would like to meet Reddy and find out just how brave he really was. So one moonlight night he hid behind a big log near one oi Reddy's favorite hunting places Pretty soon Reddy came tiptoeine along, watching for foolish young mice. Just little while before h, had heard the voice of Old Man Coy l ote way over on the edge of the Ok l Pasture. so he never once thought o meeting him here.
