Casinos s Anniversary Memories.

DAILY. Jacques Kruger. William B.
Reifferth and Mayme kelso.
Mr.. Warf1eld had n speciality act
that was laid in set to represent
the 39th street lobby of the Casino.
1t is possible that this specially act
OF Mr.. Warf1eld's was not always the
same, as different persons who re-
member the act describe il in several
different ways.
One point that is agreed upon is
that Mr.. Warf1eld was cast in the
character of a Hebrew salesman,
although no two persons can be
found who agree upon the article that
he offered for sale. One says that he
was engaged in selling Mr.. DAILY a
manuscript for musical play. An
other declares that he was selling
hats. while a third insists that he
was engaged in selling suspenders.
From the recollections of those OF
previous generation. il would ap-
pear that Mr.. Warfield changed his
act as suited his fancy. Perhaps one
night he would sell the manuscript.
or the hats. or the suspenders. OF
whatever happened to fit in with his
mood
Some time previous to this Mr.
Warfield did a similar act a the Old
Polo Grounds. it is said, when on d
very warm day he sold pieces of ice
as souvenirs OF special theatrical
benefit that was being held at that
time.

The Old and The Ne,U

HoCKY and Green. two young and
IL aspiring Broadway vaudeville
producers, believe that the public can
best judge the abilities of their six
young embryo headliners-Joan Page,
Pearl and Violet Hamilton. Jessie
Fordyce, Betty Moore and Helen
Schroeder-whom they have plucked
from the obscurity of stock, musical
comedy and burIesque, by comparison
with eight oldtime headliners, who
have trod the vaudeville boards for
more than fifty years. The act has
.. double name-"Stars of the Future"
and stars of the Past"
The new girls have been discovered
in all parts OF the country. Miss For
dyce was found struggling in a minor
role in a kid show in the west; the
Hamilton sisters. born in Cumber-
land. Md, started their careers in
London in burlesQue; Miss Schroeder
came to life in the Bronx and worked
herself into the "Follies,' only in the
chorus; Joan Page. the acrobatic
dancer, was poked away in a New
England stock troupe, where she was
doing small roles in third-rate pro-
ductions, and Betty Moore OF New
Orleans danced her way east from
Frisco to the Marigold Gardens In
Chicago.
Now for a glance at the "old-
timers"
First among the Stars of the Past
is Frank L. MCNish, who created
-Silence and Fun" and probably had
more imitators than any other man
on the variety stage. AIinstrelry saw
no greater array of talent than that
gathered by McNiSh. Johnson and
Slavin in 1885.

Annie Hart scarce needs an intro
duction. AS an Irish character singer
she surpassed them all. and has taught
many a character singer how to put
naturalness and accent into a number
Her husband, too, is we'll known. He
is Billy Lester of the team of Lester
and Allen, and was one of the Big
Four-Lester, Allen, Smith and wal
dron.
Laura Bennett is another star of
the past" who graces this act. Her
forte is coon songs, in which she was
one of the first to specialize.
Those who laughed at the Two
Johns" and haven't laughed more
heartily since, are now due for an
other big chuckle. Ed Begley, the
famous fat funster. with the me-
lodious voice and active legs. is prom
inently cast with THE Stars OF the
Past" He specializes in laughs and
finds them where none were previous
