IMPROVEMENT IN EUROPE

y i.; 'C - ' . ' : GOMPERS STATED THAT LABOR CONDITIONS THERE ARE PROGRESSINGHE TALKS OF A WORLD LABOR UNION.

(American News Service) New York; Oct. 9. Samuel Gompera, the labor leader, reached New York today on the French liner LaSavoie, and was given a rousing reception by men prominent in the labor movement in New York. Mr. Gompera was accompenied by his wife and tbeir daughter, Sadie Julia. The party has been abroad since June and while across the ocean, Mr. Gompera attended two international tradesunion congresses as the representative of the American Federation of Labor. . America Is Included. Labor conditions abroad are much Improved," Mr. Gompers said, "and it seems that the project of a world labor union in which the American Federation of Labor will have an active part is near consummation." The leader was cheered as he walked down the gangplank. He declared that he was glad to return to America. Although Mr. Gompers did not know it, LaSavoie was loaded by non-union stevedores.

counted a rare privilege. Its simplicity of treatment, its entrancing story and the potent sway of its tender melodies compel even the unmusical listener to yield to its spelL Unlike most operas, no deep musical education is reouired to appreciate the beauties of "The Golden Butterfly" de Koven has written for all mankind; all classes acknowledge the wizardy of his achievements. The opera exacts spectacular ability from those assuming the leading roles, an unusual singing and acting chorus is also demanded by the delicately florid music and dramatic scenes. The opera is divided into three acts, each scene of which is set and comparisoned with the alluring color effect and blended shades of light and darkness, while sundry surprises continue to be flashed forth; the chorus and dancing features are kaleidoscopic in their changes and multeity.

Mrs. Edward Doyle, leading lady with the Orpheum Stock Company at , the Gennett all this week.

With an opening bill which the management has heralded as "the glorified ideal of vaudeville," the New Murray theater will be formally opened to the public Monday evening, October 11. The bill for-the opening, week is ons that has been especially selected, a special meeting of the board of directors of the National Vaudeville Managers' association of which O. G. Murray is secretary, having been called to determine the four best acts for the opening of the new playhouse. Over 50 acts were considered and discussed by the board before the final selection was made, and it is confidently expected that the . bill will be a revelation to lovers of vaudeville. The opening will te marked by the presence of several prominent theatrical promoters and managers, including Gus Sun of Springfield, Ohio, John E. McCarthy, Hamilton, Ohio, C. R. Andrews, Muncie, Ind., J. J. MJurdock, the Napoleonic instigator of the Independent film and motion picture organization and farmer general manager of the Western Vaudeville Managers' association, W. F. Keefe, Chicago, III.. W. S. Butterfield, Battle Creek, Mich., John Ward, Hamilton, Ohio, and many others. It is also announced that Messrs. Gus Sun, John McCarthy, John Ward and O. R. Andrews will act in the capacity of ushers, taking entire charge of seating of the patrons holding reservations In the down stairs portion of the theater. The bill selected for the initial week includes Eddie Adair and his Yankee Octette, with Edythe Henney, Sampson & LeClair, Ferguson & Passmore, Frank Rutledge & Co., motion pictures and illustrated song. The new offering of Eddie Adair is undoubtedly the most pretentious musical comedy ever offered on a vaudeville stage. The musical numbers introduced are all new and several of them. Including the song hit "When the Right Girt Comes Along," were written by Mr. Adair. The costuming is elaborate, several genuine Worth creations being worn by Miss Henney. The scenic equipment is equal to that carried by most of ' the big musical comedy productions. Owing to the difficult song and dance numbers introduced, a special musical director is carried with the act. The production includes Eddie Adair, Edythe Henney, the Yankee Quartette and Broiler cho

rus. A better selection could not have been made for the opening week. In the act of LeClair & Sampson, billed as "The Bogus Strong Men," a new departure is made in vaudeville. To give a faithful description of the offering would be very pauch similar to spoiling a good story by telling the point of the joke in the wrong place. It is sufficient to say that the act is a travesty on two athletes doing the regulation gymnastic stunts. The manner in which LeClair & Sampson accomplish impossible feats in head and hand balancing is ludicrous in the extreme. The act comes direct from New York, where it was a special feature in the Proctor chain of theaters for a number of weeks. Owing to the fact that an exceptionally large stage is required for the proper presentation of the cat, Sampson & LeClair will only play the largest houses on the Sun & Murray circuit. The third feature on the bill is Frank Rutledge & Co., presenting one of the best acted playlets in vadeville, entitled "Our Wife." There are two great dancing teams in vaudeville, who stand pre-eminent and one of these teams is on the opening bill at the New Murray theater. Ferguson & Passmore, for this is the name of the act, have succeeded where other teams have failed. Last, but by no means least, the motion pictures for the first week have not been neglected. Mr. Murray, through his intimate friendship with Mr. Murdock has completed arrangements for a special film for the opening week. It will be shipped direct from the laboratories and it is stated from reports received that the film is photographically perfect. Illustrated

songs will complete the program.

"The Golden Butterfly." Grace Van Studdiford who is booked to appear here in her latest and most remarkable success, "The Golden Butterfly," has been smothered with praises by all the dramatic and musical critics of the large cities. In every city where "The Golden Butterfly" has been presented they have succumbed to the clever work of the star and the melodious charm of the music; everywhere it is declared the most brilliant light opera that has been presented in years. It is one of the most entrancing stories told in music New York revelled in its lyric flights, Washington placed it above all other favorites. Philadelphia acclaimed it with joy and Boston said it was a new school for all composers to follow, while other cities have placed garlands of praise upon it Harry B. Smith wrote the book and lyrics, and Reginald de Koven composed the music; it was especially written for Miss Van Stdudifordr who is today the most popular and fascinating prima donna on the American stage. She is booked to appear at the Gennett theater on Wednesday Oct. 20, evening, accordingly "The Golden Butterfly" will come with Its complete corps of artists, entire orchestra and its costly equipment of scenery and properties used in the Broadway - .theater . New York production. The opportunity to enjoy so superb an example of modern opera must be

The Murray Theater. Appropriate in every particular is the bill of vaudeville for the opening of the new Murray Theatre as it Is one of the highest merit that could be secured. Excellently staged, well rendered, and magnificently equipped is the musical comedy that will be presented by Eddie Adair and his Yankee Octette with the leading feminine role in the hands of Edythe Henney who will wear some of the most magnificent gowns ever designed by Madam Webb of New York. The 10 actors and actresses composing the company have 12 complete costume changes while there are 5 special drops introduced during the act. "Our Wife" is the title of the playlet that the company of Frank Rutledge puts on and it is one of those little affairs that makes its appeal to the ordinary nature of a person and makes its comedy felt by everybody. LeClair and Sampson have a very good travesty on gymnastic stunts. It is one of those take-offs that is really funny and produces genuine laughter. The dancing team of Ferguson & Passmore is one of the best doing that line of acting and their singing and monologue talk are also up to a very good degree of efficiency. Motion pictures and the illustrated song will complete the bill and make it one to look forward to with pleasure.

"The Traveling Salesman. Henry B. Harris will present "The Traveling Salesman," James Forbes's latest comedy success, at the Gennett Monday, October 18. The first act of The Traveling Salesman" shows the Interior of a railway depot at Grand Crossing, a little town in the Middle West. It is here that Bob Blake, the traveling salesman, makes the acquaintance of Beth Elliott, the pretty telegraph operator and ticket agent Beth is possessed of a piece of barren and untillable land, which suddenly becomes of immense value because

it is necessary to a scheme of im

provement the railroad company desires to carry out. Martin Prury, who is Blake's employer, becomes

possessed of the knowledge that the

railroad company is to make the Improvements and attempts to defraud

the girl of the property through a perversion of the laws governing the sale of land by the township for unpaid taxes. It is Blake's aim to de

feat this scheme, and the predicament he finds himself in through his impetuous and misvalued efforts, furnishes the necessary dramatic thread for Mr. Forbes's comedy, which aims

chiefly at a humorous exposition of

the characteristics of the modern drummer. The second act which

transpires in Blake's room in the Elite hotel, is said to be as unique a

portrayal of "life on the road" as was the second act of "The Chorus Lady" in illustrating "life behind the scenes."

Orpheum Stock Co. Edward Doyle and his Orpheum

Stock Company can well feel proud of his excursion into "Advanced" or "Progressive" repertoire, for the company

has certainly introduced a new form

of amusement. The Orpheum Com

pany is composed of all the elements of novelty and laughter. It contains drama, comedy, vaudeville, moving pictures, special scenery and capable actors, all in a short two-hour show.

Just the thing that many a man has

thought of, but no manager had the nerve to try. Doyle did not take ex

pense into consideration when he

launched this company this season on

his new plans, but secured the best talent, and now he can proudly boast of having the finest repertoire and most modern company of its class ever

organized.

The Orpheum Stock company opens

a week's engagement at the Gennett tomorrow night. Ladies free under

the usual conditions.

DICKENS IN ROME.

Te Great Aetkter Wm IHtst Im the ltallaa Capital. When Charles Dickens arrived In Rome, on Jan. SO, 1S45. he was profoundly disappointed. "It was no more my Rome, degraded and fallen asleep la the sun among a heap of rains, than Lincoln's Inn Fields is." A short time before, while be was straining his eyes across the Campagna, a distant view of the town had recalled London. This feeling soon passed sway. He thought spring the most delightful season for Italy. Ha wss again In Rome In 18CS; saw J. O. Lockhart. "fearfully weak and broken;" smoked and drank punch with David Roberts, who was painting that famous picture of Rome now in the Scottish National gallery. The Pantheon be thought nobler than of yore, the other antiquities smaller. It was la San Lorenzo square, Florence, that Robert Browning picked up the part manuscript and part printed Roman murder trial of 1698 from which he span hf wonderful "Ring and the Book." The church of San Lorenso, in Locina, off the Corso, In Rome, was the scene of Pompilla's msrriage. It was there also that the murdered bodies were laid for the Inspection of "half Rome.' There was a weird funeral, attended by Capochins. when we were In this church. While la Rome the Brownings stayed at 28 Yla dd JT!tone.r-Chambers JoumaL
