The article also features a cartoon which depicts an elegantly dressed, cigar-smoking Pickard handing the note over to an excited young Master Brown, with the caption below reading:Wed gladly pay our taxes down, if wed the luck of Master Brown.

Description
An account of the resource
Article from the Evening Times supporting the decision of the Glasgow Town Council to reject the motion that the possibility of a zoological garden be considered and reported upon by the Parks Committee. Although the author states that there would have been no particular harm in passing the motion, he/she questions the appropriateness of such an expensive hobby during a time of implied economic hardship in Glasgow. They also point out that Glasgows climate would not be hospitable for animals in the way that the climates of continental cities which house zoos are. The writer then concludes that theoretically a municipal zoo is an excellent idea, but [owing to the factors outlined] the time is not yet.

An account of the resource
Short article from the Evening Citizen describing the arrival of a rare monkey named the white-nosed saki at the Berlin Zoological Garden. The article describes the physical appearance and attributes of the monkey, while noting that the animal is probably the first living example to reach Germany. An article such as this, which details the happenings of a zoo in as far-removed a country from Scotland as Germany, highlights the level of interest and curiosity which animals held for the people of Glasgow at this time, helping to explain the fervour with which said citizens pursued the goal of their own zoological garden.

This Scrapbook contains a wealth of newspaper clippings relating to the constantly changing programme of Pickard's Casino Cinema, dating from approximately between 1912 and 1916. Tickets admitting entry to various Glasgow cinemas can also be found, as well as a humorous article relating to an escaped bull entering La Scala Picture-House. Also present is an article detailing Pickard's being honoured by the city carters for allowing them to use the Panopticon for meetings during their strike, as well as a short, presumably semi-autobiographical, story entitled 'The Millionaire's Gratitude'.

•' -Vs '
Si-nr o :h«-, ;. : ys when the Britannia Theatre
oi v &x»et: s in the Trongate had only one
riv tv l in Glasgow, it .has passed through-
tin any vicissitudes. A few months ago Mr A.L
•Ih Rickard took it over, and in the interval]
; he' has converted it into a unique place of j
penterrainuient. The Panopticon, as the]
.place has been named, was ripened yester- ■
’] day, the first performance being given in
. i presence of a party of pressmen, reprosen- ♦
i tatives of public bodies, and friends of (he *
& prdnrietor.
tS The programme informs us that Mr t
; Pickard has spared neither nains nor ex- f
| pc-nse to make the old “ Brit.” and Panop- [
-d ticon the most attractive place of amusement |
-j — as well as the cheapest — in the world, j
.B’or twopence visitors will h^ve much tow
.interest and amuse them. The interior ofi
•the did music hall has been entirely re-'
• constructed, and equipped for the most part
t;with novelties of a most varied description- i
..There are statues - and paintings I
• of celebrities, jnechanioal forking models (
’ and automatic machinoR, distorting mirrore, |

{should appea 1 to larrc .numbers of town- - [
I people, as well as visitors front the country, L
during the holiday season.
The old-established place of entertainment in
Trongate has been resuscitated, and is now
known as the Britannia Theatre of Varieties
and Grand Panopticon, or Pickard’s Pleasure
Palace. It is open all day and has numerous
attractions, including realistic scenes in wax-
work and diverse busts, figur<_ , paintings,
mechanical de > ices, punching balls, an olectric
rifle shooting saloon, and very amusing dis-
torted mirrors. Among the curiosities may be j
noted the mummified body of a cat which was '
discovered in a cellar beneath the theatre.
Conspicuous among th’o decorations is an admir-
able. scries • of transparencies representing
British Kings and Queens, artistically painted
by Professor Hctkomer and bis pupils. Six
times daily — thrice in the afternoon and thrice
in the evening — there are variety performances
in the theatre, and biosoopic views are shown.
The drop curtain has a realistic picture of the

the Corporation Gas Department have fitted up
their effective system of incandescent lighting,
including 30 of the 100-candle power lamps

numerous small lamps similar to those used

WAXWORKS AND VARIETIES.
Speaking of attractions to the townspeople and the j '
visitors in the way of popular amusements, we would U
not overlook a very prominent little corner situated
i at 101 Trongate, where Mr. Pickard, an enterprising'
'» Englishman, has a variety exhibition open from 10 |
a.m. till 10 p.m. which is really worthy of a visit. It j
is without exception the cleanest and smartest show j
of the kind in the city. There are innumerably
attractions, almost any one of which is worth the
coppers paid for admission. We advise our country
friends specially in visiting the city to look in at
Pickard’s and they will long remember the wonders
they will see there. , .
Cl BRITANNIA.
A novelty in the way of cheap and excellent
entertain merit has been afforded by Mr A.
E. Piokard, the new proprietor of rho Bri-
tannia Theatre of Varieties. The hous.cv'haa
boon entirely reconstructed from top to bot-
tom, the internal embellishments in the way
of art and sculpture, &c., being such as to
make tho old ‘‘Brit.” unrecognisable to its
former patrons. There is a spacious promen- ’
ado. with numerous side-shows— apart alto-
gether from a capital variety entertainment
in the theatre itself. Some of those shows,
which arc novel und wonderful examples of
mechanical ingenuity, are placed in what is
termed the Panopticon, which may be con-
strued as a collection of all sorts of things
while the collection includes working models, •
a fine orchestrion, paintings, statuettes, elec-
tric rifle shooting and tattooing saloons.
There are also some very mirth-provoking :
magic mirrors, while those who are morbidly 1
inclined can revel in the horrors of a French
-••xecution in seven tableaux — life-size figures— :
human sacrifices in Dahomey, a victim of the
rack, and numerous pictures representing
Chineso tortures. There are to be staged six
performances daily, beginning at one o’clock
in the afternoon, and the price is only two-
pence. It should be added that a strong fca
ture of tho establishment is the faultless light
mg arrangements. Yesterday afternoon the
formal opening ceremony was performed in
presenoe of a numbor of guests, the public
(xung admitted in the evening.
A MINER MUMMY, >
SUBJECT OF THE INCAS.
I The mummified body of a miner who lost his
; life 2000 years ago is to be put up for auction at :
a London rooms shortly.
j The miner ?._? a subject of the Incas, and!
death overtook him while he was at work in
what is now the Antono Copper Mine, Sierra
Atahualpa. Antofagasta, Chili. The body was ,
J mummified by the actiorAif the copper oxido in
the mine.
With the exception of a small hole in the |
• head, tho mummy is perfect, and everything —
feet, hands, and" f-.ieo — is beautifully preserved.
But tho body is green nearly all' over from the
. I effects bf the copper oxide.
A rug and two hammers made of stones tied .
with leather straps into a bent stick made up as
a double handlo were found lying on the ground •
by- the minor’s Bide. 14 was* with, those stone
hammers that the miner*— who never learned
; the secret of working iron — extracted . the,-
i copper, which was valued by them even more,
v than gold.
There is supposed to to only one other)
! mummy of -this kind in existence. It waa
i recently bought for £1000 by the Central Pari*
Museum, New- York. f -
Britannia and Panopticon.
Whilst there are many of us who think
that Instruction is a great desideratum,
there are not a few who pleasurably
hanker after Amusement. At the Brit-
annia Panopticon we get both, blended
in the right proportions to suit our varied
requirements, and when people get what
they want in this world, they generally
go in crowds to appreciate it. This then
accounts for the success of the Britannia
Theatre of Varieties and Grand Pano-
pticon, at 115 Trongate. The nroprietor
Mr. A. E. Pickard, is no novice in this
matter, for he has successfully catered
for the public for a long time past. He
and the masses understand each other
thoroughly, and to miss the Britannia
for a long space would, they feel, decided-
ly put them off colour.

•THE JJAN WHO IS ED TO HANG
' ' HIMSELF.”
A PHYSICAL PHENOMENON'.
One of tli* most original music-hall charac-
ters, known as “L© Pendu,” or the man "who
used to hang himself, has just, died (saws the
Paris correspondent of the “Telegraph”) at
Sollies Pont, near Toulon. His real name
was Simeon Aiguter, and he was born at
Sollies Vi lie in 1361. Unlike Fregoli, who
imitates various personages by sudden
changes of clothes, he could in a way trans-
form his body, and possessed the most curi-
ous physical adaptabilities ever known.
When a young man he surprised and puz-
zled the army doctors. As he presented him-
self for physical examination, he appeared as
& thin, spare-ribbed fellow, almost a skeleton,
and before the < xamination was over he stood
in the presence of the army doctor with an 1
enormously-inflated abdomen, as if he had
dropsy. Virile the physician was examining I
this abnormal development the abdomen re- j
treated, and a big bloated tumour suddenly j •
grew on the young man’s throat, as if he had r
an immense goitre. He had. apparently, in •
an instant tranferred the swelling from the -
lower part of his body to his throat. When
tire examination was over, ho stood there, a.
skeleton-like fellow, as before.
HIS GIFTS IN BODILY TRANSFORMATION
soon became known all over his native dis- j
t-riefc. and he was induced to show himself on j
the music-hall stage. For a. long time he was j
known as the skeleton man, though he also j
exhibited himself as the far man.
His physical transformations did not stop ||
here. He was able to imitate the process of i
dying and death itself to perfection. Scicn- !
tists and the members of various medical li
faculties often wished to examine his strange jf
faculties, but he constantly refused to divulge ;S
the secret of his transformations. When he
imitated the state of a dead person he threw
himself into a perfect coma. His heart ap- I
patently ceased to beat, and the most expert I
phvsicians are said to have been unable to,!
detect the slightest movement of his pulse, j
They went so far as to apply various instru- J
ments to detect life, without success, and even
through

from a nail in the ceiling in the presence of
a large audience. The rope would fasten
round his throat, his muscles would
stiffen, and the frightened public

j The annual meeting of Moss Empires, Ltd., j
j was held at Edinburgh to-day, Sir Edward
Moss presiding. The Chairman, in moving
the adoption of the report, referred to the ,
I music-hall strike. None of their halls had :
been affected, and as this dispute was in a
I fair way to settlement satisfactory to all par-
! ties, he did not think it would bo happy to ;
I go into details. The directors had purchased 1
t\ie Grand Theatre, Birmingham, and as there
was a prospect of turning it into a musio-h&ll,
j the directors bought it for £52,000, and the
present proprietor left £25,000 on five years
, mortgage.
Answering a shareholder, the Chairman said
] none of the directors were associated with the
theatre formerly and had not made a penny
| of profit in the purchase. j
Several shareholders attacked Mr Stoll s
J position and his salary of £350Q. L
j Mr Stoll answered— Buy- mine and my i

FASTING MAN’S
PERIL.
S PHYSICIAN DECLARES HE
fov IS DYING.
1 POLICE INTERVENE.
TI3E GREAT LASTING FEAT
IN GLASSGV/.
Victor Beaute, a Swiss who has been fast-'j
■ ing in a glass case in a Glasgow museum j
1 since October 1, is determined to die rather
| than not break the world’s record by ab-
■ staining from food for forty -six days.
The position is a carious one. Beaute’s :
$ medical attendant told him on Monday that j.
I he must give up the fast; yesterday the 'i
j doctor said he was dying, and declared that j
8 he would take no further responsibility.
|J The Procurator Fiscal intimated last j
night that the ‘.exhibition must 6top, and
B declared that in the event of Beau to e death ;
U he will hold the proprietor of the museum ,
fj criminally responsible.
Beaute, however, declines absolutely to j
fj take food, and the proprietor declares that
E] he is 'powerless in the matter.
|| The fasting man looked very ill when an
H Fxprees ” representative saw him last h
H night. He was terribly emaciated— he has 1
B lost two stone in weight during his fast — i
U but he declared in a very weak voice that he ,
Hi .was well save for a pain in his head, vicak- I
H ness in his legs, and slight giddiness. He
Uj also asserted that he was confident of his
jjj ability to fast for forty-six days.
Arrangements have been made for three |
Hi Died i cal men to examine him to-day.
Beaute, who is thirty-one years old, is a j
B native of Zurich. He has already completed
E nineteen fa.de., but the longest was only *
B thirty-two days. His only nourishment is
B g>o d a- water. ^

NOT ALLOWED TO DIE.
Beaute’s Condition.
Mons. Beaute, the Swiss, to-day entered
upon the thirty-third day of his fast, and in
doing so he defeated his own previous record
of thirty-two days accomplished at New
Brighton. Last night and throughout the
night Mons. Beaute was very ill— so ill, indeed,
that his medical attendant, Dr Jofm P.
Granger, came this morning prepared to stop
the fast. This forenoon the doctor on his
arrival, and after careful examination, pro-
nounoed Beaute to be “somewhat better,” and
he certainly looked it. The doctor, indeed, is
satisfies that his “patient” can go on till the
end of the week at least.
After his examination the doctor issued and
signed his usual bulletin, which showed that
Beaute weighs 9st. O^lb ... and that he had lost
1st. 13-ilb. His respiration was 16; pulse, 75;
temperature, 94.6: temperature of room, 72.2F.
During yesterday the Swiss drank one bottle of
soda water and smoked four cigarettes.
As is well known, Beaute is accomplishing
his self-imposed task in Pickard’s American
Museum at 101 Trongate, and he is very deter-
mined, if the doctor allows him to proceed to
accomplish 46 days, which would be world’s
record. Beaute is attracting increased atten-
tion daily, both by the medical profession and
the public in general. There has been a con-
stant stream of visitors, and even during the
night many persons, out of sheer curiosity,
have entered the Museum to have a look at
Beaute. It may be mentioned that Beaute is
a highly intelligent man, middle-aged, and
speaks fluently four or five different languages.

POLICE STOP FASTING MAN.
At a result of the intervention of the Glasgow
magistrates,, the fasting performance of the man
Beaute is to terminate this evening. The abrupt
termination of the exhibition is due to the statement
that the man’s life was in danger, and that the
whole of the medical profession in Glasgow declined
to pay a visit to him so long as he continued his
fast.
Beaute, when informed of the situation, seemed
at first to ho pleased with the prominence which had
been conferred upon him, hut afterwards lapsed into
,a mood of disappointment. lie expresses the opinion
that the Glasgow people have no sense of art. “I
could have gone on for another ten days " he said
plaintively. He has already concluded 38 days. He
desires it to he understood that he has not broken
down, but has merely given in to the appeals of his
manager, who would bo liable to a criminal prose-
cution in case of any serious outcome of the ex-
hibition. ■
—
The Glasgow police interfered la&t even- j
| ing in the case of H. Beaute, who has f
fasted for thirty-seven days, and is do- j
j termined to hold out for forty-six days. j
The police intimate that they will hold I
the manager criminally responsible in the
j event of Beaute’s death. The medical at- f
! tendant says the faster will die, and lie j
has thrown over his responsibility.
Beaute, however, is resisting all attempts I
Lto force food into his stomach.

If the Boilermakers are to he much
I longer on strike, how would it do if sotn&
j of their number made an attempt :oii~

Y THE FASTING MAN IN
GLASGOW.
Last ©ay of Exhibition.
The adjourned meeting of tho Magistrates
with reference to M. Beauto’s exhibition of
fasting in Mr Pickard’s American Museum,
Trongate, was held this forenoon. Since
yesterday they have been in consultation with
Sheriff Guthrie and Mr James Hart, Pro-
curator-Fiscal. Mr Pickard was present at the
meeting to-day, along with his agent, Mr
Angus Campbell. On the assurance of the
latter that tho exhibition would cease at 12
o’clock to-night, the Magistrates decided to
mako no pronouncement. At 3.45 this after-
noon M. Beaute completed 39 days’ fast.
Beaute’s Explanation.
(To the Editor of the “Evening Times.”)
Glasgow Thursday.
O'r— I 1< ' arn with regret that tho city
nutnoritios have felt it their duty to interfere
with my protracted fast, and that notwith-
standing that I am at tho present moment in
perfect, health and quite able to complete my
undertaking. Mr- Pickard, however, quite im-
peratively insists that my contract with him
shall terminate at midnight to-night, and ter-
minate it shall. Even had I been permitted to
complete my contract I should have required
to refrain from food for a day or so and I
therefore propose only beginning ’ taking
nourishment to-morrow at 3.30 p.m., when I
shall have completed forty days’ fast, and
therein constitute a record. — Assuring you that
1 am in perfect health, and reoeating the ex-
pression of my regret that I should have been
prevented completing my undertaking. I Bm ,

which is being attempted at Pickard’s f

Mons. Beaute’s death, he (Mr Pickard) I

letter also intimated that, as there seemed i

'ASTING MAN'S RISK.
AUTHORITIES ORDER THE SHOW
TO STOP.
Mons. Beaute, tho fasting man, who is
I attempting in Pickard’s Museum, Glasgow,
_ i to exist without food for 46 days, yesterday
- j reached tho thirty-seventh day of this ext-ra-
! ordinary trial of endurance,
j From now, however, if he goes on with
;.J the fast, he will do so at his own risk, Dr.
J Grainger, who has been watching the experi-
*3 ment from the beginning, having thrown up
! all responsibility in connection with tho
! caa ee.
In tho course of Monday the medical man
j paid three visits to Mons. Beaute, and be-
came anxious as the evening went on. In
I the early hours of yesterday morning he per-
, sonaily warned the experimentalist, and
' -wrote a letter to the management stating
i that the trial had entered , on “ dangerous
i ground, and that “the fast must cease.
Mons. Beaute, however, refused to aban-
don the test, saying good-humouredly,
j “You frightened! All r-r-ight. I no
■ j frightened. All r-r-ight!”
j In a letter dated 1.55 p.m. yesterday from
j the County Buildings, Mr. Hart., the Pro-
| curator -Fiscal, advised Mr. Pickard that
s from information received by him “ there |
*j seems reason to believe that the life of Mons.
• Beaune is now in some danger.
“I therefore,” he added, “beg to intimate I
j to you that this exhibition must now be I
! stopped, and that, in the event of tho death
\ of Mons. Beaute as the result of the fasting
1 you will bo held criminally liable.”
| Mr. Pickard has put tho matter into the
j hands of a solicitor. Before doing so, he
j asked Mons. Beaute to give up the fast, and
he firmly refused to do so. no said ho knew
that his condition was better than it had
! been for two or three days past, and that j
j no concern should bo felt about him, as bo '
would give ample warning if he felt himself
j succumbing. Further, ho said he had en-
J tered into a contract to fast, for 46 days,

(From Our Own Correspondent.)
GLASGOW, Wednesday..^*
Ecaulp, the Swiss, who has fasted at Glasgow
in tho thirty-eight days, lias been reluctantly
’ | to agree- to bring his fast to an end to-morrow at
I midnight. This afternoon he was told the magis-
' trates’ decision to prohibit the continuance of
j the fast. He expressed deep disappointment.
Questioned as to his feelings, lie replied, with
I a wistful look, “ I try not to think of your beef-
- steak.” Beaute added that this was his nine-
. teentli fast, his longest previous feat of endur-
| ance having been for thirty-two days.
Magistrates had tSb°Ltten ^iheniMev. I thirty. eight days, has been reluctantly compelled-
he would drop proceedings.
Mr Angus Campbell, who appeared along
wnh Mr Pickard, intimated that the latter
had . agreed to voluntarily stop the ex-
hibition at 12 o’clock to-morrow night.
The meeting was adjourned, and the
Magistrates will consult with the Procura-

TANTALISED HIM
DAINTY MORSELS.
The hungriest man in Scotland, or, for
that matteT, in the United Kingdom, is the
Swiss named Beaute, who completed the
thirty-eighth day of his fast at Glasgow at
mid-day yesterday.
But during all those 38 weary days of
>■ yearning he was never so hungrv as yester-
day, When a number of youths held up
dainties to him in his “cage.” The tan-
talisation was short-lived, however,- foT the
youths were speedily ejected.
Much interest has been added to the
exhibition,” as the man was said to be
dying ; and yesterday the premises could
not contain all who desired to view Beaute.
Ninety per cent, of the visitors were
women, one of whom expressed a wish to
marry that “poor starving Swiss.”
Beaute was informed last night that his
fast must end to-day, as that is the decision
of the authorities. When he heard this a
gleam of pleasure shot into his face, but
it .was quickly followed by a look of un-
mistakable Tegret.
“ I am very disappointed,” said Beaute,
to a “ Morning Leader ” representative,
“ but, mind you, I did not break down,
could go on for another ten days.
He has lost 2st. 31b. since he began his
long fast. No doctor has seen him since
Tuesday, as all the medical profession of
the city have thrown over any responsi-
bility.

|; whose fasting performances at Brighton and j
;ij Southend-on-Sea of 24 and 23 day* respec- r .

-f land, will endeavour to fast for 46 days in
1 Glasgow. <
• (I ■ The record for a fast ie 40 days, and M. • -
j Beaute will attempt to break that record in J
specially-constructed house in the i;
Britannia, Argyle Street, Glasgow. During f
long period all he will take will be j.
) drinks of Seltzer water and some four or j!
: fcvc cigarettes each day.
! Several medical practitioners of the c : ty &
! will examine M. Beaute each day, and their long trial of endurance, under the super-
opinions will bo published in tho form of r- ' i . r Tr TTM , „ |f
, bulletin. The fast will commence o

Mr A. E. Pickard is determined to j
i keep abreast of the times, and has I
j secured for his American Museum, 101 ■
| Trongate, one of the greatest novelties of ;
j the day. He has secured Mons Victor ;
j Beaute, who will attempt to put up a i
i world’s record for fasting. Up to the $
j present the record stands at 40 days, but t
'j| M. Beaute will endeavour to abstain from I
food for 46 days.
There was a crowd of interested
spectators on Monday afternoon in
Pickard’s American Musetom, when M.
Beaute entered the little cabin from
which he will not issue again until "Wed-
nesday, the 15th November next.
This cabin, which has been specially
made for the fasting man, is built of i|
! wood with glazed windows on all sides,
so that he is open to view both by night
and by day. It is di\ided into two parts
by hanging curtains — one part containing
an iron bedstead with mattress bed, the
other an arm-chair, one small chair, a
chest of drawers, and a table with toilet
gjj requisites.
There is no door in the cabin, and l;|
i when M. Beaute stepped inside through jjl
J one of the windows, the gap was closed i'jjj
I up and sealed by the Star representative. ;i‘j

Every morning the gauze covering a
j small sliding panel will be removed, bis
j temperature taken by the doctor in
attendance, and his weight will also be
taken. The medical man will then fasten
the panel again and seal it as he leaves it
day by day.
M. Beaute lias visit, d the Boya
Infirmary and surprised the doctors there
by the soundutss of his health and the
strength of his bone and muscle after
undergoing so much fasting as he ha:*
done. As a guarantee of good faith he
gives them permission to come down and
“Tho fasting mac” — which is Mo-ne.
Beauio’b popular title — has ended his fast.
After being shut up in a wooden hut somo j
12 feet long by 9, the rivets, bolts, and bars j
wore removed at midnight last night, and he]
shook hands through th© window with a small \;r
crowd who cheered and hoped ’for him f
“ better luck next time.”
Outside Mr. A. Pickard’s establishment in ^
Trongate there was a big crowd waiting the $
event ; inside there were about two score of '/t
people, as excited looking as the man who
was th© reason of their presence. Two .£
policemen represented th© authorities, so fax 'J,
as could be ascertained, and. contrary to ex-
pectation, there were no doctors. Three :
days ago the attending doctor had withdrawn ; ’
his visits, and then th© authorities took up
the matter, urging that Mons. Reauto was t :
endangering his life, and threatening the ft|
management of tihe place with liability if IS
anything serious should occur.
But the fasting man treated the interfer- $1
enoe of the authorities not as a kindness but
as a hardship, and when tho fast had per- «
force to cease, ho wa6 annoyed, as he be- -If
lieved that he could have accomplished the $
feat of remaining for 46 days without food. ( 5
Certainly when ho emerged from his hut last f?
night he seemed fit. And ho himself said l|?
he was, emphasing his statement by giving [3
those^ around him a handshake which hardly jfl
eecmed that of a man whose life was in j-fl
danger.
He was thin, no doubt, but. without the )y
knowledge that he had lost 2st. 31b. since he fl
began the ordeal one would not iiave guessed r
that such a change had taken place.
He began on Is*. October, when lie was list.
exactly: now he is 8st. lllb. Mr. Mitchell, ^B
manager for Mr. Packard, explained that the X
fast had been given up against the per- jn
former’s wish, and at the request of the fl
authorities, and characterised the fact os
‘ bard 1 lines.”
This expression was endorsed by Mons. 'ig
Beaute, who in a speech, delivered in an un-
faltering voice, said he was quite confident p*
of being able to fulfil the self-imposed task, j
AVhen he came out of the “house” he [JSS
drank a half cup of Bovril. and received :
the congratulations— and the sympathies — f
of those present with smiling face, and after HE
conversing for a few minutes he returned to \ J
his seclusion, wihere he told a “ Daily jS
Record and Mai) ” man that be was feeling
fairly fit. and that in the course of eight or
nine weeks he would be ready again to ^
undertake another fast, of 46 days or longer.
This is the nineteenth fast he has under- "<
gone in public, and his achievement con-
stitutes a record, the previous longest being
32 days.
Mons. Beaute will cease his fast after mid-
night, to-night, when t.he doors of his cabin
in Pickard’s Museum will be opened, and ho
will proceed to live as other men.
Tho stoppage of tho self-inflicted task
not of Boaute’s own seeking, and last night
he expressed his confidence that ho could
havo fasted on till the 46 days he had set
.himself were passed. Ho said he felt well,
but he is certainly! very weak now.
Yesterday there was a meeting of the
magistrates to consider what action should be 1
taken in th© matter. A lawyer appeared j
with Mr. Pickard, and offered to end the 1®
fasting exhibition at midnight to-night. Th© -
magistrates, however, came to no decision, ad- ;
journing the meeting until to-day in order .
that they might consult Mr. Ilaxt, the Pro-
Curator-Fiscal.
In a letter to Mr. Hart, tho Sheriff’s Pro- j
curafor-Fiscal. and to Dr. Noilson, the Police |[
Fiscal, AD. Pickard’s lawyer says that, as l[*
advised by his client, he was quit© satisfied |
that there was no danger whatsoever v to 1 .
Mons. lioaute’s life in what was taking plab^i 1
“I may ’mention.” ho continues, “that T U
had an interview with that gentleman this!
(Tuesday) morning, and, except that ho is '
somewhat thin, as contrasted with his con- 1 >y
dition when his fast began, he presented no : ,
indications of danger to ho-a-lth. In tho
couraa of .our conversation his articulation j '
was quite distinct, and he expressed himself
thoroughly convinced that he oould, without,
danger, complete the period of his proposed !
fast.”
II is pulse, adds the writer, which could
easily lie counted through the glass window,
indicated fully 40 beats to the minute, each
pulsation being perfectly distinot through hi«
wrist. " What, however, more than any-
thing satisfied me, was the clearness and dis- 1
tinotness of his articulation, and his assur-
ance to me fhat, he felt sufficiently well to
complete his undertaking without abnormal ;
risk. At tho same time, should you feel it
your duty to order an examination of Mona
Bea.ute, I trust you will afford my client
an opportunity of being represented thereat
by some gentleman of standing.
“ It. is but right that I should inform you
that, according to my information, there i«
no novelty in Alone. Beanie's prolonged
fasts which have been tho subject of ex- 1
hibition for a considerable time, and that
without any resultant injury whatever.
“ At the same time it. is but right, that
T should say on Mr. Pickard’s behalf that
he will not be a party to any exhibition,
however interesting, that would be danger-
ous to life, or that would withdraw from
him that confidence which he has hitherto
enjoyed at. the hands of our Magistrates
and police.” jfiLu. k . '

How a State Lottery is
Arranged.
ROMANCES OF SOME BIG PRIZES.
HA 1 fickle goddess. Fortune, has
just smiled upon an English in-
vestor in some foreign State
lottery.
jeW h M0 UCky a ■^ rs * Savage, received
It is seldom that such a stroke of luck
tails to the lot of a British speculator, be-
cause the percentage of lottery tickets and
foreign premium bonds held by home and
Colonuil investors is so very small, but on
the Continent hundreds of persons are
yearly winning prizes ranging in value
from thousands of pounds to a few sliil-
lings, and they have not the least suspicion
that the drawings for the prizes are con-
ducted in any but the fairest manner.
HOW NUMBERS
ARE DRAWN.
I he drawings for French Government,
municipal and other loans, in connection
with which numerous prizes or premiums
j i f ary in g values are always offered, are
held with open doors; anyone may bepre-
sent whop a drawing takes place at the
Credit Fonder; it is presided over by the
governor of the bank and other high otfr
cials. ^
Ihe tickets to be drawn, representing
the numbers of the bonds issued, are con-
tained in a large metal wheel having glass
suits. They -are hidden in small brass
cartridges, and until one of these is un-
rolled, after being drawn freak the wheel,
the number within canjiot bt jten.
The wheel itself is.js3dJ.ed mth heavy
seals and fastened wififra double or triple

the strong room where the wheel reposes
ni the interval between drawings, the seals
ire broken, the small door in the periphery
unlocked. Particulars
of the prizes to bo
drawn for and the
number of bonds to be
redeemed are read out;
the wheel is revolved to
mix the tickets. Then
a small boy from an
orphan school steps
forward, his arm bared
to above the elbow. He
shows his hand empty,
fingers apart. The door
in the wheel is opened,
and he plunges his
hand in. and withdraw-
I ing a ticket, holds it
aloft to show that onlv
j one ticket has been
I di awn.
Then it is handed to
the governor, who, uir-
| rolling _ it, announces
i.the winning number.
And the process is re-
peated till all the prizes
have been drawn.
Like many others who,
putting their luck to
the test, have sold their
chances at a small profit,
and found later, to their
great disgust, their
lxtncLs have drawn prizes,
Mrs. Savage was tempted
by an offer of ,£500 to
part, with her ticket.
Fortunately, she refused.
Far less fortunate
was a wineshop-keeper
in the Faubourg Mont-
martre, Paris. He
held a bond in Town of
Drawing the Winhing Ticket in a French Lottery
nous to a drawing lie sold Jus bond at l‘,s
market value, and his state of mind ean
be imagined when he learned that it had
drawn a prjze of .£8,000.
Some time since a Manchester publican
was agreeably surprised to hear that be
me amoum came to nana.
Still he thought he might as well try
to cash it; so, accompanied by a few
fighting friends who were going to get the
money or know why, he set out for Paris.
The crowd descended on the Hotel de
Ville in battle array to meet a great dis-
appointment. There was no fighting, fox,
of course, the cheque was cashed a.t

PLEASURE PAJUA«jt.
Passing Glimpse at Some
of Glasgow’sOId Music;
Halls; Famous Dancers
Born in Second City . 1
Glasgow has long been famed for the nusn- jj
her of its music-halls, says a. casual con-
tributor to the “ Weekly Record.” Some 60
years ago music-halls were confined to the
.Salt market, when such houses existed as the
, Oddfellows, Jupiter, Waveriev, Shake -
jspoare, and Rob Boy. In addition, there
was a goodly round of “ free an<i easies.”
Each of these had bars for the supplying
j of drink. The proprietor charged no price
| of admission. When you went into tine
' hall a waiter followed you, and you called
a pint of beer, or a glass of whisky, or a
'bottle of ginger, for which you paid the
1 sum of threepence. For this you saw the
; entertainment.
! Mr. Bran was the proprietor of the Odd-
| fellows,” and opened the Britannia Musi,
j Hall in 1847. Mr. Baylis, who was Bran's
4 head waiter, opened the Coliseum, in the. ■
I Gowcaddens, and then the Scotia Music
I Hall, in Stock well Street. Then sprang up |
j such halls at the Whitebait, St. Enoch’s i
j Wynd, which was opened by William Teller, '
J a music seller; Davie Brown's, Dunlop
| Street ; The Victoria, And erst on Cross 'jt
1 j(Q.)w the Ooli)'.) the Alexandria., Cow,
jeaddens; the Globe, Tobago Street. C-alton;
land the Albert, Bridgeton (now the Greeu-
hoad Pubic Hall).
At that time all the stars of the English
music-halls visited Glasgow, including such
f ! comedians as the great Vance. George Ley-
i bourne, Fred Albert, and Jennie Hill, while
[1 Glasgow itself supplied such talent as Marie
Loftus, J. C. M'DonaJd (Scotch comedian).,
j! and W. H. Lana-gan (the Lion Scotch comic).
:i These artistes had their songs written for
'j: them by such writers as James Curran, Tom
Aj M ‘Aus land (who v.rcte for W. H. Lanagan

Music-hall proprietors in those days en-
couraged all the champion clog dancers to
visit Glasgow. Among these wore Tom
Ward, Tom R$t>son,Ned Cunningham (father
of the well-known- comedienne, Minnie Cun-
ningham), all of whom showed such an
example to Glasgow youths that there
sprung up in the city well-known dancers —
Johnnie Coggans, Arthur O’Neal, Johnnie
Muiheron, Tommy MTntyre, Peter Elliot,
Willie Oox, Bob Hannah," Tom Berrick, and
Joe Low. The latter competed against the
late Ban Lenc for the world’s champion-
ship, and was second in the contest.
J. G. Burns, of Glasgow, vron the world’s
championship at L ed:, a few years ago.
This dancer lost his leg by a tram car acci-
dent In the Trongate about the latter end
of 1898. Arthur O’Neal joined Frank Folloy,
and as first-class Irish comedians they
visited all the principal music-halls of the
United Kingdom. They algo went on a
tour to Australia, in company with Brown,
Newlands. and Le CJere, and Marie Loftus.
Arthur O'Neal returned to his native city
ar.d retired into private life.
Johnnie Coggans about this time joined
the Rainbow F.C., where he figured in the
half-back line. But football, like dancing,
had no great fascination for Coggans, and he
also retired into private life.
Since that time a revolution lias taken
place in music-hall business. There are no
double turns, now by negro or Irish eome-
| dims, while artistes are paid higher salaries.

j Another place of amusement was on Mon-
|cl.4y added to the already large number
that the city now possesses— the Britannia
j Theatre of Varieties and Grand Panopti-
j eon. The building is situated in the Tron-
igate, and is the old “ Brit.” renovated, in-
jdeed in such a magnificent scale as to
Imake this old and popular hall unknown
| to its frequenters of the past. The new
) pleasure palace is under the proprietor-
ship of Mr A. B. Pickard, who has been
j connected with the providing of amuse-
S ment in all parts of the kingdom for many
j yeaTs past. A genial and enterprising
i caterer, Mr Pickard has worked wonders
with his latest venture, and so perfect is
j it in every detail that its success is as-
sured. In his efforts he has an able and
j energetic manager in Mr Mitchell, and in
these two gentlemen the public can rest
assured of originality and up-to-dateness
being the chief factors of the show.
„ In presenting “The New Idea,” Mr
Pickard observes that after years of study
and labour, and an immense outlay of
capital, he is enabled to produce an ex-
hibition that he can submit to his patrons
with greatest confidence, feeling assured
that the Britannia Panopticon and Theatre
of .Varieties is the best in value and the
cheapest place of amusement, not only in
Glasgow, but in any city in the world. New
and novel attractions, comprising the latest
and newest, ideas in regard to mechanical
and scientific ingenuity and invention, will
continually be added, without any regard
to the expense. The Panopticon (which
means a collection of all sorts of things)
is most interesting, including as it does
statuettes, busts, paintings., and historical
tableaux in wag of famous men and women,
whileMhere is also a grand cosmorama and
art gallery, electric rifle shooting range,
ate. In addition to this is the entertain-
ijje.it hall, with pit stalls and gallery, all
redecorated and upholstered in the latest
style. The whole is lighted by electricity,
each lamp being 400 candle power, arid the
excellent lighting is another testimony to
the excellence of this department oi the
Corporation and the superintendent, Mr
Wilson. A splendid company of art, fetes

C TH+: PANOPTICON.
PLACE OF ENTERTATNMTCSTE.
Since the days when the Britannia Theatre
of Varieties in the Trongate had only one
rival in Glasgow, it has passed through
many vicissitudes. A few months ago Mr A.
E. Pickard took it over, and in the interval
he has converted it into a unique place of
entertainment. The Panopticon, as the
place has been named, war pened yester-
day, the first performance being given in
presence of a party of pressmen, represen-
tatives of public bodies, and friends of the
proprietor.
The programme informs us that Mr
Pickard has spared neither pains nor ex-
pense to make the old “ Brit. ’ and Panop-
ticon the most attractive place of amusement
— as well as the cheapest — in the world.
For twopence visitors will have much to
interest and amuse them. The interior of
the old music hall has been entirely re-
constructed, and equipped for the most part
with novelties of a most varied description.
There are statues and paintings
of celebrities, rqechanical working models
and automatic machines, distorting mirrors,
electric shooting saloon, and several tableaux g
representing human sacrifices in Dahomey, m'
torture chamber and rack of the seventeenth
century, and the story of a crime in seven
chapters. In every case
THE FIGURES ARE ADMIRABLE,
some having been made in Paris for the &
Museum G-revin, and afterwards exhibited ; t
at Earl’s Court Exhibition, London.
In the entertainment hall, which can ac- | :
commodate about 500 persons, enjoyable
turns are given this week by Miss Kate
Gourlay, Little VictoT& Connor, and the
Bioscope. Music is provided by the Japa-
nese ladies’ orchestra, the members of which, i
acquit themselves with credit. There aTe
no fewer than six performances daily, the
first beginning at one o’clock and the last
at 9.30. The lighting arrangement, is a fea- •
ture, incandescent gas lamps of 400 candle- ;
power being used in some parts, as well as f
electricity.
The Panopticon is delightfully fresh and
clean, the entertainment is novel and whole- I-
some, and the general arrangements, includ- |Sj
ing entrances and exits, leave nothing to be ||
desired. This new place of entertainment I -
should appeal to large 'numbers of towns- gj
people, as well as visitors from the country, 7
especially during the holiday season.

SANDOW ANECDOTES.
INCIDENTS FROM THE EVENTFUL LIFE
OF MR. SANDOW.
Mr. Sandow — the celebrated strong man
—did not have his greatness thrust upon
liim, but only achieved it by hard work
and persistent efforts. His adventure at
Brussels was the means of bringing him
prominently before the public and secur-
ing a much needed engagement.
■Sandow had tried to secure an engage-
ment in the town as a strong man, but had
tailed, and .as a last resource he played the
following trick. He went round the town
at midnight, and by means of his enor-
mous strength wrecked every weight-lifting
machine there was.
Next day the papers were full of surmises
as to “the gang of wreckers’’ who had
destroyed property in this manner, for, of
course, they did hot think one man was
able to do it. When the excitement had
subsided and the machines been repaired,
Sandow went round the town again and re-
floated the feat. Then special police were
put on to watch the machines and capture
the offenders. Hearing of this, Sandow
intended to.be caught, and one night, when
going tfip round” of machine-breaking,
he was surrounded by a number of police
He allowed himself to be captured and
taken to the station, where he explained
that he had paid his money and tried his
strength in the ordinary way. He gave
the names of several influential friend's of
his in the town, and when they identified
him he vvat» released.
Through this feat of strength Sandow
was inundated with offers of engagements
at more than double the salary bo had we-
viously asked, and had been refused

THE BRITANNIA.
A novelty in the way of cheap and excellent
entertainment has been afforded by Mr A.
' E. Pickard, the new proprietor of the Bri-
tannia Theatre of Varieties. The house* has ;
Jbeen entirely reconstructed from top to bot-
tom, the internal embellishments in the way
of art and sculpture, &c., being such as to 1
make the 'old “Brit.” unrecognisable to its
former patrons. There is a spacious promen- |
•ado. with numerous side-shows — apart ojto- j
B gether from a capital variety entertainment'
in the theatre itself. Some of these shows, l
n which are novel and wonderful examples of j
Is mechanical ingenuity, are placed in what is ;
rA, termed the Panopticon, which may be con-
' etruecl as a collection of all sorts of things I
while the collection includes working models, i
a fine orchestrion, paintings, statuettes, elec-
?A trio rifle shooting and tattooing saloons.
There are also some very mirth-provoking
X magic mirrors, while those who are morbidly [
gt inclined can revel in the horrors of a French j
y execution m seven tableaux — life-size figures —
31 human sacrifices in Dahomey, a victim of the 1
dl rack, and numerous pictures representing |
gj Chinese tortures. There are to be staged six
performances daily, beginning at one o’clock J
v in the afternoon, and the price is only two- |i
£ pence. It should, be added that a strong fca- j
y tore of the establishment is the faultless light l
mg arrangements. Yesterday afternoon the p
^.formal opening ceremony was performed in 1
^ presence of a number of guests, the public
being admitted in the evening.
BRITANNIA PANOPTICON.
The old-established place of entertainment in l
'Trcngate has been resuscitated, and is now 1
known as the Britannia Theatre of Varieties !
and Crand Panopticon, or Pickard’s Pleasure)
Palace. It is open all day and has numerous I
i attractions, including realistic scenes in wax j
. work and diverse busts, figures, paintings, j
. mechanical devices, punching balls, an electric !
'rifle ^looting saloon, and very amusing dis- It
torted mirrors. Among the curiosities may bo
, noted the mummified body of a cat which was
! discovered in a cellar beneath the theatre.
Conspicuous among the decorations is an admir-
able series of transparencies representing
British Kings and Queens, artistically painted i
j by Professor Hcrkomcr and his pupils. oix
, times daily — thrice in the afternoon and thrice
in the evening — there are variety performances!
; in the theatre, and. bioscopic views are shown.
The drop curtain has a realistic picture of the
last exhibition at Kelvingrove, and the or-
. chestra consists of a quartet of young ladies in
Japanese costume. Throughout the building
; the Corporation Gas Department have fitted up
• their effective system of incandescent lighting,
including 30 of the 400-candle power lamps
which have given so much satisfaction in the
City Chambers — seven of which brilliantly il-
luminate the theatre — while there are also
numerous small lamps similar to those used
with electricity. Altogether the Brit, in its
new form is a very cheap and attractive house
of entertainment.
sr/rK~
BRITANNIA.
It is pleasing to learn that the enterprise
I of Mr Pickard in taking over the old
$ Britannia is meeting with well deserved
H success. This is no doubt due to the ex-
Sj cellent show contained in the house itself,
| as also the fact that every week a fresh
H caste of entertainers appear. Among those
ii appearing this week are Ada Whitton. Fred
HBurnand, etc. Some very fine views are
H shown by the American bioscope.

1 fort.able little ‘theatre was crowded. The '
Britannia is graduallv attaining its old-timo l

i chief attraction, and furnishes a clever ]

i comedians, and. a capital turn, is that of
1 Sardou, with a cleverly executed cabinet
1 mvstcrv which causes no end of amusement. [
■ Olive Veno. Marie’ Rivers, Little Venus (a .
child songstress), and Marie Bey provide
good contributions, and an enjoyable pro-
gramme is completed with a new and in-
teresting scries of pictures, on tile bioscope.
Britannia and Panopticon
Whilst there are many of us who think
that Instruction is a great desideratum,
there are not a few who pleasurably
hanker after Amusement. At the Brit-
annia Panopticon we get both, blended
in the right proportions to suit our varied
requirements, and when people get what
they want in this world, they generally
go in crowds to appreciate it. This then
accounts for the success of the Britannia
Theatre of Varieties and Grand Pano-
pticon, at 115 Trongate. The proprietor
Mr. A. E. Pickard, is no novice in this
matter, for he lias successfully catered
for the public for a long time past. He
and the masses understand each other
thoroughly, and to miss the Britannia
for a long space would, they leel, decided-
ly put them off colour.

j anros at each. A popular feature' is the (■

BRITANNIA VARIETIES,
At the Britannia this week a programme
of an excellent, nature is submitted, and

amusing way. Hal Franks is eccentric in
J his ways, and provides an enjoyable number.
A clever vocalist is Victoria Connor, her
S singing calling forth applause. Nellie Col-
w,yn sings in a charming manner, while
the oomedy business of Padley’s Comedy
Four evokes hearty laughte?-..

THE BRITANNIA PANOPTICON.
The old-established place of entertainment in
Trongate has been resuscitated, and is now
known as the Britannia Theatre of Varieties
and Grand Panopticon, or Pickard's Pleasure
Palace. It is open all day and has numerous
attractions, including realistic scenes in wax-
work and diverse busts, figures, paintings,
mechanical devices, punching balls, an electric
rifle shootipg saloon, and very amusing dis-
torted mirrors. Among the curiosities may be
noted the mummified body of a cat which was
discovered in a cellar beneath the theatre.
Conspicuous among the decorations is an edrnir-
y-ble series of transparencies representing
British Kingfe and Queens, artistically painted
by 1 rofessor Herkomer and his pupils. Six
times daily— thrice in the afternoon and thrice
in the evening— tiiQre are variety performances
mu ^ 'j ^catre, and bioscopic views are shown.
The drop curtain has a realistic picture of the
last exhibition at Kelvingrove, and the or-
chestra consists of a quartet of young ladies in
Japanese costume. Throughout the building
the Corporation Gas Department have fitted up
their effective system of incandescent lighting,
^eluding 30 of the 400-candle power iarnns
whmh have given so much satisfaction in the
City Chambers — seven of which brilliantly il-
luminate the theatre— while there are “also
numerous small lamps similar to those used
with electricity. Altogether the Brit, in its
new form is a very cheap and attractive house
oi entertainment.

ADMISSION, 2d.
’THE BRITANNIA.
! A novelty in the way of cheap and excellent
j entertainment has been afforded by Mr A.
E. Pickard, the new proprietor of the Bri-
tannia Theatre of Varieties. The house*- has
j boon entirely reconstructed from top fa/ bot- f
tom, the internal embellishments in the way
j of art and sculpture, &c., being such as to
1 make the old “Brit.” unrecognisable to its
former patrons. There is a spacious promen-
ade. with numerous side-shows — apart alto-
gether from a capital variety entertainment
in tho theatre itsolf. Some of these shows. | :
which arc novel and wonderful examples of
mechanical ingenuity, are placed in what is
termed the Panopticon, which may bo con-
strued as a collection of all sorts of things "
while the- collection includes working models, --
a fino orchestrion, paintings, statuettes* elec- f I
trie rifle shooting and tattooing saloons. I ’
There are also some very mirth-provoking j .
magic mirrors, while those who are morbidly jj
inclined can rove l in the horrors of a French
execution in seven tableaux — life-size figures — '
human sacrifices in Dahomey, a victim of the
rack, and numojeus pictures representing -
Chinese tortures. There arc to be staged six
performances daily, beginning at ono o'clock
in the afternoon., and the price is only two-
pence. It should be added that a strong fea-
ture of the establishment is the faultless "Tight
mg arrangements. Yesterday afternoon the
formal opening ceremony , was performed in
presence of a number of guests, the publio
being admitted in the evening.
THE LYONS MU-STC-HALL SCHEME.
A CRITICISM.
Mr Walter Gibbons, who represents a large
group of privately-owned music halls, and
Mr G. Adney Payne, who controls an im-
portant group of syndicate halls, discussed
the Lyons inns i<>: ball scheme with an “Even-
ing Standard” reporter yesterday.
“ There is not the slightest doubt,” said
Mr Gibbons, “ that the directors of the Lon-
don music halls will fight Mr Lyons tooth
and nail. It is ridiculous for Mr Lyons to
talk as he does about the middle-class woman
being quite uncatered for at. the music halls.
“ Tho music hall run on temperance lines
is nothing new. Most of my halls are Tem-
perance.’ Mr Lyons is not going on tem-
perance lines only from choice ; he would
not be able to get licenses.
“ Ho says, too, that that there is a great
unexplored field of artistes, and that the
present music halls are so much booked
ahead that tTiev have no room for new turns.
My reply is that the man who would bring
me a hundred bright new turns to-day would
be mv greatest friend. I could book them
all in fifteen or twenty minutes. There is
always plenty of room on the programme
for anything new which is good. The diffi-
culty is to find it.”
The programme at the Britannia this week ?
| includes several good turns which, take well. !
i The Shamrock Trio proves a pleasing act,
while Charles Bentley, Amv Bathurst, J&6 |
| Leonard and Bertie Howard sustain in «-
creditable manuen* the rest of the entertain- i ~
! ment.
farts -ZW. /o ^06,
The Chronograph, a combinalion of the,
' era map!) one and bioscope, is the special-
i feature of the Panopticon programme. .It <s
a marvellous machine, and the results
I attained are quite (he best of the-many ex- ■
I periments that, have been made. Homard,
| the maid of the sea. il the freak at the
! neighbouring museum under the same man-
| agement.

was 38 years of age. He had been in t e
variety profession for about 20 years, and or
eight years he had been lessee of music-hallsin
Glasgow. He began on his own account when
the partnership of Colqnhoun and Armstrong
was formed. He continued in partnership for
about four years. He took the Tivoli Theatre,
lately known as the Gaiety Theatre and eight
years ago designated the Victoria Theatre. . In
the first instance he put a capital of £800 into
that concern, and altogether he had put about
! £2000 into it That was his savings. Col 9/’
I houn put in about the same amount. In 1902
they created it into a limited liability company,
with a capital of £8000. He n<#er realised any-
thing from that stock. The concern f°|| a P““>
and no dividend nor composition had been
paid to its. creditors. On the formation of this
company a large sum was expended m struc-
tural alterations. The capital of the new
Tivoli was £15,000. The theatre never paid.
Can you ascribe any reason for that.

That had been the case for about 13 months.

Did you gel more capital ?-Yes, I borrowed
^Hatf^ou a partner within the past year?—
Mr Gibson was assisting me, and
Knott a nartner if I had been able to secure an
agreement. In a contract that was drawn up
if was. set forth that it was contemplated to
have a new lease of the Queen s theatre from
the Corporation, and also a lease of the livoli,
4 a promise’ of a right of purchase of tee
itter.
Did not Mr Gibson about the time >f ihc
execution of the contract, and since,
advance capital for the P u g,° a ® f !
this business?— Yes, several times. There was,
a joint bank account opened. ‘
How much money did Mr Scott Gibson
advance in connection with the business. I
should think about £350 but I got so many
sums of £10, £15. and £25 from him that I
am not quite certain of the total. * £ k?“ ld
think, however, that it would amount to about
£350
Did you give any voucher for the money
advanced? — No, never.
What was tho first sum Mr Gibson put into
this proposed partnership ?— Tho first was, I
think about £130. That was before he
thought of going into tho business. ...
The joint, bank account opened with a credit
of £106 ? — That was in the business when Mr
Gibson came into it. .
Was any of the money advanced to you tor
business paid into that account ?-Yes, on
several occasions. f , ; .
The considerations under which Mr Gibson
was to become a partner failed, I take it.
Y You neither got a lease from the Corpora-
tion nor any right to the Tivoli Theatre .
The Tivoli Theatre is now let to some other
P Did you, with Mr Gibson, instruct your
solicitor to prepare deeds for the partnership
which eventually failed?— Yes but that deed
has never been subscribed. Mr Gibson never
drew a shilling from the concern.
Mr Gibson says he put £500 into the con-
cern. Is that the case ?— No, I do not thins,
it would reach that amount. Continuing, lie
agreed that Mr Gibson had been the prime
loser during the past eight or nine months
and that he had lost more money in that time
than bankrupt had. . . ; ,
I understand that tho joint bank account
was operated as occasion required by both
}dr Gibson and yourself ! — Yes, for the pur-
poses of the business. ,
Did Mr Gibson assist in the management
of the business? — A little, not much.
Not to put too fine a point upon it, had tho
business been successful and resulted in con-
siderable profit instead of a large loss would
not Mr Scott Gibson have participated in tho
profit along with you ?— Yes, if tho agreement
for a partnership had been gone on with.
Of the liabilities amounting to £4000 was
more than £3000 incurred before there was
any talk of partnership ?.— Yes, it must have
bS \Vas anv right of possession of the Tivoli
Theatre ever transferred to Mr Gibson.— No.
What was the reason of the non-success of
the Tivoli Theatre?— It is hard to tell you,
but I should say the structural alterations as
they turned out were somewhat to blame, and
also the competition of the high-class music

Tho bankrupt was Mr Bernard Armstrong

All the lass was incurred bv the Tivoli.
Mr Campbell — So that you had the dead
horse tacked on to the living steed? j.’Sj
jj (Laughter.)
Mr Armstrong — Exactly.
After the company went into liquidation,
j Mr Armstrong continued, he repossessed him-] “
self of the "Queen’s Theatre, which he re-*!
opened in September 18, 1905. He continued .
there till proceedings were begun against pig
Colquhoun and Armstrong for non-payment raR
of rent, and had taken proceedings fitun ' -j
which he had withdrawn all opposition. He 1
had no dwelling-house in Glasgow, but hist
wife rented a house in her own name, and f , ’
owned all the furniture. This had been I '
purchased out of her own money, she also [ .
being a variety artiste, and earning from £8 \
to £10 a week while she was fulfilling an en- IV 1
gagement. That she possessed means was i’ '*
shown bv the fact that she had put £100 into i ,*:
the business, all of which, of course, she had
lost.
Mr Campbell— Did the Tivoli ever pay?
Mr Armstrong — f do not. remember one .
paving week in the Tivoli since it opened.
Did you have a partner within tho lastbi|
rear ?
Well.
Mr Gibson Would Have Been a Partner
had the conditions of the lease been carried m
through. 'Ll .
I understand your agreement was reduced
to writing in the form of a contract?
Yes; I had in contemplation a new lease|\ ;_
with the Corporation. ' v
Did Mr Gibson, about the time of the I
execution of that contract, and since then,’ ^
advance capital for the purposes of this busi-, ^
ness?
Yes, several times.
There was a- joint bank account in thefekgj
Union Bank of Scotland, Ltd., Anderstonj,-
branch?
Yes.
How much money did Mr Gibson advancel; .
t-o this business?
It would amount in all, I should say, toijjgs
> about £350.
When asked if the books would showj •
tho actual payments made. Mr Armstrong
they would not probably show them all. Mr pH
Gibson paid him so many small sums, in
and £10 at different times, that he could net ig
exactly remember tlhem all. Asked if lie could raj
not remember any single item, he said ibereHj
was one cheque for £70 which Mr Gibson
hnd given him to pay the Tivoli artistes’
salaries for a week’s engagement. Tho first j|jl
sum paid by Mr Gibson was about £130.
which wa« given him befovn coming into the Qj
business as a partner. Their bank account !^
was in the name of Bernard! 'Armstrong. Esq..
and Andrew S-ectt Gr'ibtqn, Esq., and woa t *,/
opened with £106 to their credit. That money
was in the business when Mr Gibson came
into it. He was not sure but the amount pro- ■
bably represented the Saturday night’s draw- vS
ings. All the money advanced to him for Jfe-
business purposes was paid into that account. rC
Tt was mixed up with the other moneys. Mrs ;
Armstrong had an account with the National {
Bank, and it was with that he was working g
the business before Mr Gibson came into it.
All the moneys were applied for- the business. B
Going on, Mr Armstrong said that J he oon- ;
sideration on which Mr Gibson was to become t ;
a partner failed- Bankrupt admitted that /he j-
I neither got the • lease from the Corporation j
nor any right to the Tivoli. The conditions,
j therefore, failed absolutely. He and Mr i
Gibson instructed their solicitor, Mr Turn- j
| bull, to prepare a document to thnt 0! efrVfct, ]*■
but that document had never been subscribed, j
| Did Mr Gibson make auy money out of ft&u
i concern?

Mr Gibson Never Drew a Shilling out of
the Business.
If Mr Gibson says that ho paid about £500
into the concern, would that be true?
Well. I don’t know if it would bo as much.
But I have had several sunis of £20 and £25
i nd smaller amounts that >vere. not entered.
"The heaviest sufferer during the last, eight
i nine months in these ventures,” added Air
.. V. m strong, ‘‘was Councillor Scott Gibson.
Ie has lost more than I havo.”
In further examination Mr Armstrong' said
'that the amounts would not all be found in
j the books, probably, but the comparisons of
the drawings at the theatre with the dis-
.1 buraementg of tho moneys would show that
5, he must have had money from someone,
wj On a suggestion from an agent for tho
gjoroditor*. Mr Campbell asked if bankrupt
Sg oould give them any specific sum paid by
Mr Gibson.
■rJ The reply wfls to the effect that the £<0
tel cheque was one particular instance in which
£1 Mr Gibson had transferred the amount from
SSm his own bank to the Anderston branch.
>9 The amount would be seen by the
gra acoount, lx>ok and the cheaue book.
Ifle The bank account was operated upon by
both Mr Gibson and himself, for business
9 purposes only. Mr Gibson assisted a little
Ml in the management of the Tivoli, and ordered
a goods occasionally when circumstances re-
quired him to do so. Had the business been
a flourishing concern. Mr Gibson would have
jra shared in the profits just as he hat! partici-
#1 pa ted in the losses. .
jggll ■ The greater part of the liabilities, some
•,$ £5000. had been incurred before there was
anv talk of a partnership. The only docu-
?;«ment ,3 about the partnership were the two
deeds mentioned already— rone of them sub-
■fl scribed, and the other not subscribed .
As to
The Cause of the Tivoli's Failure.
S S bankrupt said it. was very hard to give an
j y ji explanation. He had never made up the loss
• . j of the reconstruction, and never seemed to
got the old audiences back again. The
keenness of compitition in the music-hall
business also had a deal to do with it.
f. ili Mr Armstrong said he was at present carry-
tfRing out a four weeks’ engagement as a variety
' , - (artiste in England. He had been travelling
jfijjl night to attend the examination, and
Jr to would have to go back immediately.
: After some further questioning if was ar-
ranged that the examination should be ad-
mm journed till early in the new- year.
' 3 Mr Gibson, who had V*>en keenly watching
a the proceedings from the window alcove, and
tvine manv quaint knot* in the cord of the
hi window blind. %hon fetched Mr # Armstrong s
coat and haf: which he assisted him to put on.
They then left the olva-mbers in company.

A committee of the Glasgow 'Magistrates r
was hold in the Burgh-court Hall of the City
Chambers to-day. when a numbrf of applica- i,
tions for licenses were disposed ibf. Bathe R.i
S. Brown presided. • \ j
Tho most inm resting was that of Mr HeWy I
Howard, who applied for a license for whkt J
is now known as the Gaietv Theatre. \ j
Superintendent Douglas, of ifro AV ester n j
Division, said that applicant had for 13 years
been manager of t'he Empire, and for the last
two year* was travelling. The (icc-nso was
formerly held by Mr Bernard Arm-
strong, and expired yesterday, the
theatre having. (however, been
closed since the k7t.h ulfco. Superintenlant
Douglas thereafter read the report of the
Master of Works and Firemaster, which
.showed that alterations had been carried out,
one of which, howeer, was not fully in
accordance with the bye-laws. The aceom-
modation was 1360 sitting, and 22 standing. J
Mr Ballantyne. on behalf of applicant, j
said everything had been done in their power jj
to make the theatre thorough^- safe and £
comfortable. A passage to whicr* objection
had been made, so far as possible, having ^
been rendered perfectly safe. f
Mr Lindsay suggested that he should speak [•
to the applicant, as within recent years there 1
had been a number of licensees of this house. £
Mr Ballantyne said Mr Howard was pretty j
well-known to tho magistrates and public of
Glasgow. He had been manager of the old -t
Gaiety, and subsequently of the Empire for f
many years — until a couple of years ago, and |
they knew that the house had been conducted j
on the best lines. Applicant’s personal char-
acter would 6tand the olosest scrutiny, and he j
had no doubt the new Gaiety would'be equally .
well conducted. It was his intention, as well {
as those behind him, to raise the status of the \
house and make it a desirable place to go to \
for those in the west end, where there was no |
place of entertainment and where there ]j
was every need for it.
Mr Lindsay — Suppose the Magistrates said. j
Wo will giive you a license on condition that \
you don’t apply to the Excise, what would you j
say ? ' j
Mr Ballantyne — I would earnestly ask that, j
that condition be not imposed. In Mr Howard ,
we have a man of outstanding dhanaoter, and
if you’jdo&Ve it to him the bars will be
conducted on tho very best lines.
Mr Lindsay Ho asks a relaxation in regard ,
to smoking- Is it to be conducted practically j
as a music-hall, much on the same lines as the
Empire?
?<Sr Balla.ntvne — Yes.
Mr Lindsay— Is there to be any boxing com- j
f petition? „ ,
Mr Ballantyne — No; nothing of that kind. (
,i Mr Lindsay — Will you accept a condition
jj that there will be no boxing competition ex- |
J oopt with the. specific permission of the Magis-
j trates.
j Mr Ballantyne — Yea.
Tho Chairman— Is Mr Howard the pro- !
prietor? :
>rr Ballantyne- He is the manager really
for a company, and he would bo responsible. 1
Mr Lindsay— Tbo chairman wants io know j
if the company behind vou have any connec- i
tion with tho former lessee.
Mr Ballantvne— None whatever.
Bail in Dunlop— A different crowd alto J
gather?
i Mr BaBautyne— Yes. .
After a brief retiral the chairman said the 1
Idccisidh was that, a full theatrical license be '
rant odd ill next ^Iay. and W' the relaxation
}th' regard to smoking he agreed to.

MR. SCOTT GIBSON’S

! Sequestration proceedings of interest tool

Balfour, the bankrupt under examination '
<3 being Mr. Bernard M. Armstrong, for some
« years manager and part proprietor of tho
j Queen’s anil Tivoli Music Halls. Amongst
ra tho creditors present was Councillor Scott
gj Gibson, who seems to havo been considerably
3j interested in the unfortunate venture. . . . .
Mr. Armstrong stated that he had., been!
fi engaged in the variety profession for about'
20 years, and for eight years he had been
|a lessee of musito-halls fn Glasgow.'' ' About
eight years ago he went into partnership with.

with him for four years.

Victoria, and now as tho New Gaiety, Into
& that concern he put altogether £2000. saved
from his earnings, and Mr. Colquhoun con-
.’] tributed about tne same amount of capital,
j In 1902 the co-partnery was formed into a
limited company with a capital of £8000.
Each of them received £4000 in shares, but
I he never realised anything from that stock.
The concern collapsed, and had been in
| liquidation for over a year. On the forma-
i tion of the company between £12,000 and
,1 £13.000 was spent in structural alterations,
-J which proved very unsatisfactory. He was
ij managing director, with a salary of £4 per
1 week. When he appeared as a variety
| artiste his salary was about £20 per week.
Tile com-pany embraced botl^ the Tivoli and
dthe Queen’s Theatre, but the City Im.prove-
:| ment Trust, who owned the latter property,
j refused to recognise the company as lessees,
a holding that Colquhoun and Armstrong were
; still the tenants. The Queen’s Theatre
■i paid ; all the loss was incurred by the Tivoli.
He had no residence in Glasgow, but his
] wife rented a house in her own name, and
] owned all the furniture. ~ Ho did not. re-
3 member one “ paying ” week in the Tivoli
3 since it opened.
Did you ha.ve a partner within the last
| year? — Well. Mr. Gibson would have boon a
■j partner had the conditions of the lease been.
! carried through, Mr. Gibson several time*
1 advanced money, and a joint bank account
•jwas opened with the Andexston branch of the*
ij Union Bank.
THE ADVANCES .
How much money did Mr. Gibson adva.ncO
in connection with this business? — It would
amount in ail, I should say, to about £350.'
Mr. Gibson paid me so many small sums, in
£5, £10, £15, and £25 at different times tha4
I cannot exactly remember them all*. I
never gave any voucher for the money.
Asked if he could not remember any ■:
single item, Mr. Armstrong said there was
one cheque for £70 which Mr. Gibson had ;
given him to pay the Tivoli artistes’ salaries t
for a week's engagement. The first sum |
paid by Mr. Gibson was about £130 before .
he thought of entering the business as a .
partner.
The bank account was in the name of ;
“B. M. Armstrong, Esq., and A. Scott (Jib- f
son, Esq..” and opened . with a of edit ol ]
£106. That money was in the business I
when Mr. Gibson came into it.
The considerations under which Mr. Gib- >
son agreed to become a partner failed al> \
solutely. Mr. Gibson never drew a shilling 1
out of the business. “ The heaviest suffcrei :
during tho last eight or nine months in
those ventures.’’ he added, “ was Councillor
Scott Gibson. He has lost more than I
have.”
The hank account was operated upon by
both Mr. Gibson and himself for business
purposes only. Mr. Gibson assist^?] a little
in the management of the Tivoli, and
ordered goods occasionally when circum-
stances required him to do so. Had the
t'opineas been a flourishing concern Mr.
Gibson would have shared in the profi*'- : ust
as he hqd partic'natod in the looses Of
the £4000 fqf liabilities, rn ore than £3000.,
must have ’l>een incurred l before there was
miv talk of partnership. ■
Mr Gibson’s name was not in the Ieasetof
the Oueen ,, s. and with regard to the Tivoli,
no risrht of possession was ever transferred
G-> Lha.t gent le’na.u.
The examination was adioumed until fho .
end of January or the beginning of Feb-
ruary.

FASTING FEAT IN §LAS®@W.
We are truly living in an ago of record-
breaking. But all the same, it is given to few
to. toy with the human system as, for example,
Mons. Victor Beaute, a young Swiss' is doing \
at the present time in Mr Pickard’s American j
Museum at 101 Trongate. Yesterday afternoon {■
this remarkable man commenced a fast which jj
he proposes to last 46 days, and thus break j
world’s record. Small of stature, light of |
build, and displaying a nervous-looking tom-
peramont, Beaute looks anything but the man |
who would care to undergo such an extra- j.
ordinary ordeal. But although only 31 years r,
of age, the Swiss has great experience in this j
particular line — it is, in fact, his eighteenth jj
experiment. The longest fast he has under- |i
gone was 32 days, and his last was 24 days, 1
accomplished recently at New Brighton. |
Beaute is confined in a neat and specially- if
erected cabinet measuring 10 foot, by 7, |
an examination of which will show that it is [I
impossible for him to receive nour&hment of J
any description. Indeed, Beaute is supplied il
with nothing but soda water and cigarettes, l
from 10 to 12 of which he smokes daily. '!
Before entering the cabinet. Beaute wstsj
examined by Dr Grainger, who found his pulse- ;
beat to be 114, and on weighing he - tipped the I
beam at. exactly 11 stone. Doubtless his
future progress will be watched with keen
interest not only by members of the medical
\ profession,, but the pubiio generally.

THE FASTING MAN IN
GLASGOW.
Beaute’s Condition.
At. 3.45 this afternoon M. Victor Beaute com-
j pletcd the 37th clay of his fast in Pickard’s
American Museum, Trongate. Dr John P.
Granger, who has attended Beaute from the
I start, has now ceased his professional services,
being satisfied that, should the fast continue
I longer, Beaute will be “ venturing upon very
j dangerous ground.” Beaute. however, is do-
! termiuod to go on until he has established
i world’s record, namely, 40 days, and mean-
j while the Museum is bcinfc visited by enormous
! crowds.
Procurator-Fiscal Intervenes.
Mr Pickard has this afternoon -received a
letter from Mr James N. Hart, the Procurator- j
Fiscal, stating that from information -which he
has received ho bolieves that the* life of M. :
fleaute is now in some danger, and, therefore, !
he bogged to intimate to him (Mr Pickard) that
the exhibition must now bo stopped, and that
in the event of the death of Beaute as tho
result of the fasting he (Mr Pickard) would ba
held criminally liable.
WITHOUT FOOD FOR 46 DAYS.
ATTEMPT TO BREAK THE RECORD.
Yesterday afternoon, within Mr A. E.
- Pickard’s Museum in the TTongate, there
was begun by Mons. Beaute, a native of
Zurich, the task of abstaining from food for
a period of 46 days, and, if the gentleman
i who has undertaken the task is successful,
\ a worlds record will be established. When
\ the feat was entered upon yesterday there
' was a considerable crowd of interested spec-
| tators when M. Beante entered the little
' cabin from which he will not issue again
J until Wednesday, the 15th of November
, next.
| The “little house” has beeiT specially con-
| etrocted) and is divided into two paTts.
There is no door, the four sides of the cabin
j being windowed. There is one apartment
1 curtained off, which contains bedding ac-
! commodation, and in the other apartment
] are a small chest of drawers, an arm chair,
a small chair, and toilet requisites. Dur-
ing his long fast, Mons. Beaute will live en-
( tirely on cigarettes, of which he smokes on
an average 10 a day. He will drink seidhtz
t water. Every morning he is to be examined
\ by a doctor, who will take his termpera-
'3 turn, and hie weight will also be taken.
] Before commencing his fast Mons. Beaute
| visited the Royal Infirmary, and underwent
an examination by the doctors in that in
| stitution, who were surprised at his health
j and strength. As a guarantee of good faith
j he has invited the medical gentlemen to
j egarn ino his stomach, at the expiry of the
ICuT Toinet,

As stated < in our later editions yesterday afi

There was quite a "run” on Mr Pickard’s
American Museum at 101 Trongate yesterday * 1
j to see Mons. Victor Beaute, the fasting man, j
j nailed up in the apartment which he hopes '
; to make his home for the next 46 days. “A -

i himsetf - to the doctor who examined him j
j prior to hi3 entering the apartment. “If !
;j you were double, I don’t suppose you would
last tivice as long,” laughingly replied' the [
I meSical man, as he intimated to the modern ■
| Dr Tanner that his pulse was 114 to the !
| minute. The unusual rapditiy, however, 1
(i was owing, in part at least, to the excitement '
jj under which the fasting man laboured as he j
j completed his arrangements. In his box—
I for, measuring as it does, 10 feet by 7, it is c
little more— Beaute had a good supply oft
Mackenzie’s cigarettes and Barr’s soda-water, j
and theso will for the next 45 days be both i
food and drink to him. As a guarantee of I
good faith, Massrs Thomaa (Limited) were 1
asked to supply the furniture and fittings for |
the apartment.

I This afternoon Mr A. E. Pickard, of !
!j Pickard’s Museum, Glasgow, was the re- i
I cipient of the following letter from Mr J. j
tj N. Hart, the Procurator-Fiscal
j Sir,— My attention has been called to the
t fact that there is at present being held in j
j the premises tenanted by you at 101 Tron- '
■■ gate, called Pickard’s Museum, a public :
j exhibition of .Monsieur Beaute, the fasting
i: man, who is stated fo have lasted for 35
| or 36 days successively,
f From information received by me there !
seems reason to believe that the
* life of Mons. Beaute is now in some 1
j danger. 1. therefore, beg to '-intimate to i
| you that this exhibition must now be I
j stopped, and that in the event of the
;; death of Mons. Beaute as the result of
S the fasting, you will be held criminally
j liable. * \
j Mr Pickard has placed the matter in the
hands of Mr Angus Campbell, writer, and :
I meantime Mon. Beaute refuses to listen to
any suggestion that he should shorten the
| term of the fast. Mr Pickard, however,
\ has all manner of restoratives, &e., ready 1

Endurance Feat in Glasgow 1 Show’
(“ Journal ” Special.)
Many and varied are the ways in which some
men seek to earn notoriety or a livelihood,
ono of tho most original and sensational being
volunta ry starvation for a given period. There
are sections of the public who think that such
exhibitions of human endurance should not be
allowed, but, after all, the chief sufferer is
the individual himself, and there is also the
off-chance that medical science may indirectly
benefit.
Ono of the most enthusiastic and during of
the fasting men, M. Victor Beaute, has just
entered on an ordeal in Glasgow, which, if
successful, will create a record for such ex-
hibitions. On .Monday last, 'in Pickard’s
American Museum; Trongate, M. Beaute was
sealed up in his self-selected orison, where he
hopes to remain till Wednesday, 15th Novem-
ber.
His apartment, which is 10 feet bv 7, is
constructed of wood and glass, and is divided in
two by a curtain. He has an iron bedstead
on ono side, while the other is occupied by
M. Beaute’s chairs, chest of drawers, table,
&c. His temperature is taken every morning
by a doctor, who opens a email sliding panel
for the purpose.

■ GLASGOW THEATRICAL MANAGER’S
bankruptcy.
y> Bernard M.,Armstrong was yesterday examined
fin bankruptcy before Sheriff Balfour in the Sheriff
’Court. Glasgow. Mr Angus Campbell, writer,
appeared fjs agent in the sequestration.
Bankrupt, in reply to Mr Campbell, said he
was thirty-eight years of age. He had been in
the variety profession for about twenty years, and
for eight years he had been lessee of ipusic-balls in
j Glasgow. He began on his own account when the
partnership of Colquhoun and Armstrong was
formed, and he continued iu partnership for about
| four years. He took the Tivoli Theatre, lately
known as the Gaiety Theatre. In the first
instance he put a capital of £300 into that con-
cern, and altogether he bad put about £2000 into
it. TWat was from his own savings. Cdiquhoun
8 put i/ about the same amount. In 1902 they
] created it a limited liability company, and they
" put capital to the amount of £4000 each into it.
He never realised anything from that stock. The
concern collapsed, and no dividend or composition
had been paid to its creditors. On the formation
of this company a large sum, between £12,000 and
£13,000 he should say, was expended m struc-
tural alterations. The capital of the new
Tivoli was £15,000. The theatre never paid.
The structural alterations had a great deal to do
with that.
Were you managing director? — Yes.
What was your salary ?— £4 per week. When
he appeared as a variety artist his salary was
about £20 per week. His position as manager,
however, took him away from the stage as the duties
I required his undivided attention. Colquhoun and
I Armstrong (Limited) afterwards acquired the
1 Queers Theatre. From the beginning that
1 theatre paid. It suffered, however, from its con-
j nection with the Tivoli Theatre.
After that company went into liquidation did
you possess yourself of the Queen’s Theatre? —
Yes, in September, 1905. I continued in that
business down to shortly before the sequestration
proceedings. His wife had a dwelling-house in
Glasgow. It was rented by her. That had been
the case for about thirteen months. The fur-
niture all belonged to his wife, being pur-
chased out of her own savings. She was a
; variety artiste, and when engaged she would
earn from £8 to £10 per week. She invested
£100 in the company, and that was all lost. He
did not think he had one paying week in the
Tivoli since the alterations, and .the profit made in
the Queen’s Theatre was absorbed by the loss in
the Tivoli.
Did you get more capital ? — Yes, I borrowed
more capital.
Had you a partner within the past year? — Mr
Scott Gibson was assisting me, and would have
been a partner if I had been able to secure an
agreement. In a contract that was drawn up it
was set forth that it was contemplated to have a
new lease of the Queen’s Theatre, from the Cor-.'
pqration, and also a lease of the Tivoli, with a
promise of a right of purchase of the latter.
Did not Mr Gibson about the time of the execu-
tion of the contract, and since, advance capital for
the purpose of this business? — Yes, several times.
There was a joint bank account opened. Mr
Scott Gibson advanced in connection with the
business, be should think, about £350. but he
got so many sums of £10, £15, and £25 from him
that he was not quite certain of the total. Fie
never gave any voucher for the money advanced.
The joint bank account opened with a credit of
£1C6. That was in the business when Mr Gibson
came into it. The considerations under which
Mr Gibson was to become a partner failed.
Did you, with Mr Gibson, instruct your
solicitor to prepare deeds for the partnership
which eventually failed? — Yes, but that deed has
never been subscribed. Mr Gibson never drew a
shilling from the concern.
Mr Gibson says he put £500 into the concern.
Is that the case? — No, I do not think it would
reach that amount. He agreed that Mr Gibson
had been the prime loser during the past eight or
nine months, and that he had lost more money in
that time than bankrupt had.
I understand that the joint bank , account was
operated as occasion required by both Mr Gibson
and yourself? — Yes, for the purposes of the
business.
Did Mr Gibson assist in the management of the
business? — A little, not much.
Had the business been successful and resulted
in considerable profit instead of a large loss,
would not Mr Scott Gibson have participated in j
the profit along with you ? — Yes, if the agreement
for a partnership had been gone on with.
Of the liabilities amounting to £4000 was more
than £3000 incurred before there was any talk of
partnership? — Yes, it must have been.
Was any right of possession of the Tivoli
Theatre ever transferred to Mr Gibson? — No.
What was the reason of the non-success of the
Tivoli Theatre? — It is hard to tell, but I should
say the structural alterations as they turned out
were somewhat to blame, and also the competition
of the high-class music halls.
On the motion of Mr Campbell, the examination r
was adjourned.
THE NEW GAIETY.
ADDITION TO GLASGOW’S PLACES OF
AMUSEMENT.
The old Tivoli Variety Muisdo Hall in
AnderstOn district was yesterday granted a
new Tease of life, under new management, at ; •
a Lansing Court of the Glasgow Miagis- t
t rates, and is to be re-opened under the name !
of the New Gaiety.
An agent stated that Mr. Hentry Howard,
who applried for the licence, was well known r
to the Magistrates and 'public of Glasgow, /j
Fie had been manager of the old Gaiety and -
subsequently of the Empire for many years, |
until about a couple of years ago. Everyone i
knew that the Empire was conducted on the ; t
best lines. Mr. Howard’s personal character 1
would bear the very closest scrutiny.
“ Suppose,” said Mr. John Lindsay, Depute
Town Clerk, “ the Magistrates were willing ,
to give you a Licence on condition that you r
did not apply to the Excise, what would you j
say ? ”
The agent hoped the Magistrates would j '
not insist on that condition. If a Licence '
were granted, the house and the hairs would J
be condu ted on the very best lines. It was j
to be conducted as a music-hall very much [*£
on the same lines as the Empire. There 1'-
were to be no boxing competitions. He was |
willing to accept a condition that there would ,
bo no boxing competition except with the $• .
express permission of the Magistrates.
In reply to fuirthec questions the agent ex- W
plained that Mr. Howard was manager for \
a company, and he would be responsible. f'|
The company had no connection whatever j ''
with the former lessee. It was. in fact, “ a
different crowd altogether.”
The Magistrates then retired, and on their ['■
return verv soon afterwards, the Chairman L ’
said the decision was that a full theatrical f-'g
licence be granted until next May, and that !>|
the relaxation with regard to smoking be also i t
conceded, 1 3

THE BRITANNIA. '
; The Chronophon6 is the name given to a :
clever combination of the phonograph and !
bioscope, by which every movement of an H
artist is shown on a screen, while a ■
maohine at the side of the stage “voices’’ I .
the song. Six different films were shown j
yesterday in the Britannia, and they were * j
tliorouglily enjoyed by the large audience •
assembled. The variety programme is also j -
of an enjoyable nature. Nellie Fergus is a ' |
smart, and dainty vocalist. J. H. Harris, i l
who is known locally, made a decided i
“hit,” and was repeatedly encored. His,,,
style is good, and he has attractive eongs. f
The Panopticon has been renovated j
within the past week, and many new- novel- !
ties have been added.
[QUEEN’S AND TIVOLI.
MR B. ARMSTRONG’S
AFFAIRS.
TO-DAY’S EXAMINATION.
j POSITION OF MR SCOTT GIBSON-
Mr Bernard M. Armstrong, for some
; years associated with the Queen’s and
jl Tivoli Music-Halls, and well known on the l
i variety stage as Barney Armstrong, was i
, examined in bankruptcy before Sheriff j
Balfour in the County Buildings to-day.
In reply to Mr Angus Campbell, agent »n
v , the sequestration, Mr Armstrong eaid he
|| was 38 years of age, and had been engaged j
; in the variety profession for 20 years. ! •
About eight years ago he went into part- f
nership with Mr Colquhoun, under the i
name of Colquhoun and Armstrong, and , '
,r } continued in business with him for four j
j years. Thev began with the Tivoli, then
/j known as the Victoria, and now as the New
j Gaiety. He put £500 into the business I -
j then, and altogether had put in £2,000 '
4 which money he had saved from his earn- '
r a ings. Mr Colquhoun put in about the r '
same. In 1902 they formed the co-partnery {
1 into a limited liability company, and they
• each received £4,000 in shares. He
NEVER REALISED ANYTHING
| from that stock. The original property •
paid, but the limited company collapsed, ■
! and had been in liquidation for over a j
i year. After the formation of the company •
: a large sum— between £12,000 and £13,000—
was spent in structural alterations. The I
l capital was £15,000, and the business never
j paid. It wae over capitalised, and the |j l
structural alterations were very unsatis- |i J
- j factory. He was managing director of the ,
j company and had a salary of £4 a week. !
i His average weekly salary when working '
j j; on the variety stage was about £20 a w^eek, '
j 1 and it was largely from that source that he [i
, saved sufficient/ to start the co-partnery.
•j; The limited liability company embraced |j 3
both the Tivoli and Queen’s 'Theatre, but -j J
j the City Improvement Trust, who owned ]
j the latter property, refused to recognise f
the company as lessees, holding that f i
H Colquhoun and Armstrong were still l
; the tenants. He hart now no interest r
• in the company and had no claim against ;
I it. When the company went into liquida- i
i tion he re-possessed himself of the Queen’s, ■
j re-opening on September 18. 1905, and con- j
finned in that business till ehortly before J
j the jeequestration. Ilia preeent residence J
in Glasgow was
RENTED BY HIS WIFE,
j and had been for thirteen months. All the
! furniture in the house belonged to Mrs
t Armstrong, having been purchased by her
f with her savings. She was a variety artist
i too, and was working now, making from £8
i to £10 a week. She was a shareholder in
rtlie company to the extent_of £100.

“The Unwritten Law.”
AN AMERICAN PLEA IN
CRIMES OF VIOLENCE.
sought Butler out and shot him down in the
public street, fixing shot after shot into liis
body after the first bullet had brought him to
the ground. This happened iin Mississippi.
Fullest effort was made to get the sym-
pathy of the jury. The children of the de-
fendant hung to her skirts while the case
vms being tried, and the defending counsel
pleaded the justification of tho “ Unw ritten
Law ” with commanding eloquence. The
lawyer and his associates in the defence
were so confident of an acquittal that they
were prepared to submit the case without
a defence.
Yet the jury found a verdict of guilty of
manslaughter, and Mrs. Birdsong, unless an
appeal brings sorno relief, must spend five
years in jail, at hard labour, bemuse in
this instance the “ Unwritten Law ” did not
held good with American jurymen.
The Southern States of America have fur-
nished another case of a s im ila r kind, only
in this instance the husband himself executed
the vengeance. Baton Rouge society sus-
tained its greatest shock of two decades re-
cently, when Congr eesman -elect George K-
Favrot shot to death Ur. II- A. Aldrich.
Favrot was a man who should have known
tiho law, for previous to his election to Con-
gress he had been a respeotod judge. \et
when arrested ho said that the deed man
had injured him in a way for which the
prooees of the law furnished no adequate
requital. He had slandered his wife. This,
Ib.vrot said, was abundant, excuse for taking
Aldrich’s life. Forthwith Judge Kernen.
who advocated the principle of the “ Un-
written Law' ” at the American Bar Aaaoc;
One of the most popular photographs ev«r taken of Airs. Harry K. Thaw.
M UCH has been heard in America re-
cently of the phrase, the “ Unwritten
Law.” Hardly is there committed
any crime of violence, to avenge a woman,
into which can bo introduced sympathetic
circumstances which seem to pailliato the
murder, but the assassin pleads for his
justification the “ Unwritten Law.
When Mr. Harry Thaw Shot Mr. White
he did more than remove a rival He pat
i»to criminal court procedure a phrase whiah,
I although not new, had bean but seldom
heard. Since then several Americans
accused of murder have used this plea.
Briefly expressed, tho ‘‘Unwritten Law”
assumes that over and above any earthly
regulations to be found in the works of Jus-
tinian, Coke, Littleton, or Blackstono, is a
higher law based on. an abstract of justice,
which provides that •'whore the law docs not
specify a proper revenge for a woman
wronged, it is within the right of the woman
or her male defender to execute vengeance.
The plea is absolutely one of sentiment.
Nowhere in the entire range of le^al lore
will be found a word that supports it. It
is opposed to the belief of the oourts that
the worst thing that ejn b^PP 611 a cotn '
m unity 13 for individuals to take the Law
into their own hands, even though it bo
to punish their wrongs. Yet tho “ Unwrit-
ten Law” is very popular in America, not
only aa a means of defence, but as an ap-
peal for sympathy.
The Thaw caso is an illustration.
In casting about for counsel to fight his
case Thaw seat to California for Mr. Dol-
phin Delmas, a lawyer who had made his
reputation by cases won on the plea of justi-
fication. This caso launched the u Unwritten
Law” into tho fashion iu homicides.
Tho oass of Mrs. Angie Birdsong, of
Mississippi, decided recently, is an indication
of this. Her physioian and close friend,
Dr. Butler, was discovered by the woman to
be circulating slander concerning her char-
acter. JSvidoncc of his guilt in this tattling
role must have been convincing to Mrs. Bird-
song, for she at onoo took moans to punish
her traduccr. The average woman would
have gone to her husband and suggested
that he adjust tho matter, but Mrs. Birdsong
aition’s annual meeting, was retained to de-
fend Favrot. . . , ..
This caso is still pending ; so is that at Mrs.
Anna M. Bradley, who shot Mr. Arthur
Brown, once a United States Senator from
Utah, because he would not marry her after
a divorce case. ....
Mrs. Anna M. Bradley, a woman of ability,
was secretary of the Republican Stale dele-
gation from Utah to the National Convention
of 1396 that 'nominated Mr. M'Kinley. Mrs.
Bradley has based her defence on the Un-
written Law.”
All these persons — Thaw, Mrs. Birdsong,
Mrs. Bradley, and Favrot— go back for a
precedent to "the first great case of tho “ Un-
written Law,’* a clastic in murder finals—
that of General Sickles for killing Key, a
son of the famous author of The Star-
Spangled Banner. ”
Sickles at tho time was am honoured mem-
bur of Congress. Returning homo one day
he caught Mr. Key waving a farewell to
Mrs. Sickles, who leaned from a window to
say good-bye. Pursuing Key, Sickles told
him that his offence could only be atoned for
by death, and he allot him down.
American sympathy with Sickles from the
start was heightened when, during the trial,
it transpired that, the murdered man had
boasted bo cared little for Mrs. Sickles.
Sickle© was acquitted; and tlion offered to
TAka back his wife. They lived vary happily
till she died.
This probably began the “ Unwritten
Law ” in America. It is almoet the favourite
precedents and, if Mr. Thaw should be freed
on the same plea, its popularity will take
another bound in that country.

be was awaiting his trial.

LOCI0M SOLD FOR £119,000.
London, Thursday.. — Th© historic Lyceum
Theatre was put up for sale, and sold at tho
mart, this afternoon for £119,500. Th© auction*
room was very scantily filled with buyers or on-
lookers while the auctioneer was making his
statement. The bidding was very tame. It
began at £100,000, ana ran up in fives to
.*>115,000, when it dropped to thousands ,and
was finally knocked down at £119,500. Th©
auctioneer, after referring to his instructions as
to the teserve price, declared the building sold.

Sale of the Lyceum.
The Lyceum Theatre, th© scene of the
late Sir Henry Irving’s greatest triumphs,
was put up at auction this afternoon, and
sold for £119,500. Sentiment did not enter
into the transaction. Historic associations
— unless, indeed, they can be combined with
special attractions for the cheap tripper —
have no cash value in these eminently utili-
\ barian days. I have hoard of a certain noble
. I lord who makes a handsome addition to hjs
income by charging a shilling per head for
permission to view a ruined abbey situated
on his estate. The capitalised value of his-
toric associations in this case would be some-
thing considerable. The price paid for the
Lyceum site is rather more than £5 per
square foot.

THE BRITANNIA (GLASGOW).
The latest acquisition to the Britannia
programme — the Chronophone — a French
invention, has caught on already, and the
three excellent pictures shown at each per-
formance are highly appreciated. It is,
indeed, a wonderful combination, the
clearness with which the subjects are seen
and the perfect tones emitted by the
machine, makes the performance a most
enjoyable one. Mr Pickard’s enterprise is
certain to meet with success. The variety
bill submitted this week is also of an ex-
cellent character. The leading item is by
that popular local entertainer, J. H. Harris.
He is assisted in his performance by his
son, who has a voice of exceptionally wide
range and power. Harris has to respond to
encores at every appearance. Nellie Fer-
gus is a clever vocalist, who furnishes an
enjoyable contribution. Johnnie Quinn, a
local artist, appears in several new songs
which arc of a. catchy nature, and sung in
excellent style. The programme is one that
is thoroughly enjoyable.
The Panopticon has been thoroughly re-
novated, and quite a host of new novelties
for the holidays have been added by Mr
Edmunds, Mr Pickard’s amusemeut
caterer. The various new and novel ideas
introduced should prove a great source of
attraction to visitors during the New-Tear
holidays.
THE FASTING MAN.
Mens. Beaute, whose record fast during
the month of October created such wide-
spread interest with his wonderful endux-
[ance, will conclude his engagement at the
American Museum, Glasgow, tomorrow
evening. Since coming to Glasgow, the
fasting man has made many friends. Al-

BOY A ND WAX WORK.
DOORKEEPER TAKES : lA W&Mo HIS
OWN HAKa&tuX
A crowd of people stood round" /’he window
j of a waxwork exhibition. m Argyie ^Street.*
last. Friday. The group, of ro v m*#© ? ’Oontaimxi
the Usual large porccntagoe of inquisitive ’
j bo\s. Ooe of these in some way raised the
j anger of tho doorkeeper, and was -shoved
I back two or three times, and eventually
cuffed on tho side of the head.
The action on the part of the doorkeeper
I brought, him before the presiding Magistrate
at tho Glasgow- Central Court this morning,
charged with striking th© youngster a blow
on the face ‘To the effusion ofc blood.” Ono
I or two bystanders declared they. saw. no
reason or excuse for the a&ault." ***■•*• ?
Five or six people connected with the wax- .
work testified that the boy had provoked the
doorkeeper by spitting on the window, re-
turning twice or thrice when told to go
away, and using insolent and obsoeme lan-
guage.
Addressing the accused, the Magistrate,
said there was no doubt he might' haVo re-
ceived some provocation from, hoys. Rut.
if they would put an attraction in th owin-
dew to draw a. crowd, they must be prej»a re^
to expect’ something of the kind*.
Whilst prisoner might think .he. received
provocation, the authorities could Jiot allow
anybody, in. the city td take the law iiftc
his owi hands. When ho w ishod a ’ crowii .
dispersed ho had better call fri th© aid of a
constable. ^Ho had no r.igiit to lift/ hi$ hin« 3

'• What made me strike the boy.” the ac-
cused declared, (i was his taking put a
knuckle-duster to strike me with.”
His Honour reminded accused that there
was a previous conviction against him, and
considered he was dealing very leniently with
him in imposing a fine of 15s, with the
native of ten days imprisonment. . ? v *

THE BRITAXNTT.
| Without the least, doubt, ’the most |
enterprising entertainer of the public iu
Glasgow is ilr A. E. Pickard, the geyial 1
proprietor of the. Britannia Theatre oi l
Varieties and Grand Panopticon, in Tion-
i gate. He has given many evidences of liis j
j *’ go-aheadness " in the past, but his latest .!
j efiort in securing the cronophone should I
I p,rove the most successful. The machine,-!
jAlfrench invention, as explained oh Mon-
| Ifay by Mr M’Leod Mitchell, the energetic j
* manager, was first exhibited in the United *
Kingdom in the “ Brit.” They, were 24 hours ahead of London in exhibiting the machine, which produces wonderfully realistic pictures, accompanied by song and dialogue.

Mr Armstrong ' vv£pi ’Th’eri qTiopi iom*d r rr-
| garding his relationship with Mr' A Scott
Gibson. Mr Gibeon, he paid, had been
assisting hyn during the past year. Ho
' had an agreeirtent with him, but it was
1 conditional on his getting a lease carried
I through with the Corporation for the
I Queen’s and a new agreement for the
Tivoli. Mr Gibbon several times advanced
money, and a joint-bank account was opened
; on the Andereton branch of the Union
; Bank.
Mr Campbell — How much money did Mr
; Scott Gibson advance in connection with
' thia business?
! Mr Armstrong — About £350. He got so
• | many suma of £10 and £15 he could not
i tell exactly how much altogether, but £350
was approximate. He never gave Mr Gib-
1 eon any voucher. The first eum he re-
ceived was £130 before he thought of going
into me business. The bank account wae
in the name of B. M. Armstrong, Eeq. ? and
A. Scott Gibson, Eeq., and opened with a
; credit of £106. That wae in the business
1 when Mr Gibson came into it. On several
| occasions Mr Gibson paid sums into the
bank, and that money was mixed up with
i the affaire of the business. The considera-
tions under which Mr Gibson agreed to be-
;Jl come a partner
FAILED ABSOLUTELY.

COUNCILLOR SCOTT GIBSON’S
AFFAIRS.
THE CFSSIO PETITION.
Councillor Scott Gibson was to have ap-
peared in the Sheriff Court to-day in con-
nection with a petinon for cessio against
him at the instance of ex-Councillor B. R.
Scott.
The claim of the petitioning creditor hav-
; ing been settled, the case was not called.
THE ANDERSTON THEATRE
GAIETY TO BE RE-OPENED.
NEW LICENSE GRANTED TO-DAY.
0 He bad instructed hi3 solicitor to draw up
1 a deed to that effect, but. it had not yet
been executed. It would be given to the
, trustee. Mr Gib3on never drew anything
i out of the concern.
Mr Campbell — Mr Gibeon says he put £500
'■ into the business. What do you say to
. that? 1
Mr Armstrong— I cannot say. On sev-
eral occasions he paid the expenses.
Mr Campbell — So that the prime sufferer
has been Councillor Scott Gibson ?
Mr Armstrong— That is so. He has lost
| more money than I have.
Mr Campbell — The trustee informs me that
! there are no entries in your book that can
ldentfy these advances to you by Councillor
t Scott Gibson.
, Mr Armstrong explained that on Saturdays
i there was not enough to pay the salaries,
1 and Mr Gibson made up the difference. The
books showed that the drawings were not*
sufficient to pay the salaries. There was a
I sum of £70 which he thought was trans
j ferred from Mr Gibson’s own bank account
! to the Ander9ton branch. Cheques were
’ ; drawn by both, but for the purposes of the
. j business only, and the cheques were signed
- !| by both. Mr Gibson
ASSISTED IN THE MANAGEMENT,
i! but not much.
i| Mr Campbell— Had this been a successful
concern, and there had been a considerable
jj profit instead of a large loss, would Mr Gib-
: . t son have participated in the profit?
, Mr Armstrong- -If the agreement had been
carried through I believe he would. Of the i
J total liability of over £4,000 the greater part >
j — more than £3,000 — was incurred before l
I there was any talk of a partnership with Mr I
Gibson. Mr Gibson’s name was not in the
j Icaso of the Queen’s, and with regard to the ;
! Tivoli, no right of possession was ever :
|j transferred to Mr Gibson.
; Mr Armstrong explained that he had just |
I I arrived froth England, having travelled all j
I' night, and that he had music-hall engage-
merits for the next four weeks.
The examination was accordingly ad-
journed till the end of January or beginning I
j of February.
Application was made at the fortnightly
Licensing Court of the Magistrates held in
the Burgh Court Hall, to-day, by Mr Win.
II. Howard, formerly manager of the Empire
Theatre, Sauchiehall Street, for a new license
for the Gaiety Theatre, 617 Argyle Street,
which was closed by order of the Magis-
trates on the 17th November last. Bailie
It. S. Brown presided, and was accompanied
by Bailies Archibald Campbell and Dunlop,
and Mr John Lindsay, Depute To wn -Clerk.
Mr Douglas, Superintendent of the West-
ern Police Division, submitted a report by the
Master of Works and the Firemaeter shoe-
ing that alterations had been going on for
several weeks in view of this application,
and that the bye-laws and regulations had
been complied with except in one instance,
where wooden joists were used in a lobby. ,
The theatre accommodated 1,369 sitting and
22 standing.
Mr Ballantyne, writer, on behalf of Mr
Howard, said that with regard to the altera-
tions, they had done everything in their
power to make the theatre thoroughly safe
and comfortable. With regard to the par-
ticular objection raised they had done as
much as they could, but underneath there
was a public-house to which they could not
get access to put in the necessary beams.
They, had, however, put in a good cement
flooring.
Mr Lindsay asked Mr Ballantyne to ad-
dress himself to the Court as to
WHY THE LICENSE SHOULD BE GRANTED
to Mr Howard. Within recent years there
had been quite a number of licensee in this
house, and their Honours would like to hear
something on that point.
Mr Ballantyne, replying, eaid Mr How-
ard was a well-known gentleman in Glasgow
and also with the Magistrates, because he
was manager of the old Gaiety, and subse-
quently of the Empire until about a couple
of years ago. He 'thought the Magistrates
and the public knew that that house
was conducted on tne best lines. ,
lie was quite satisfied that Mr Howard's J
personal character would bear the very
closest scrutiny, and that he would conduct
tbps, house, on tjie very best lines. It was i
to be his endeavour to raise the status of -j
this house for the people of the. West-End,.!
and there was quite room in that part orj
Glasgow for it since there was no theatre
there. He thought they ' had got the right
man and the right, sort of committee, behind
him to conduct the' house to the credit ’of*
tb e city oL.Glafiy.0.^«^. rt : - - . — — r - :
Mr Lindsay — Suppose the Magistrates said,
they will give you thie license On the condi-
tmn that you don’t apply for permission to
sell liquor ?
Mr Ballantyne — I hope you wofa’t insf^i on
that condition. If you grant the license, the
house and the bars will- be conducted on the
very best lines. I would ask that 1 this con-
dition be not emphasised.
Mr Lindsay pointed out, further, that they
sought relaxation
TO ALLOW SMOKING,
he asked, to be conducted
Mr Jack said h'a was not a betting man,
and if it was for a stake he would be against
it. He would withdraw his motion.
To this his seconder would not agree.
JV^r William Alexander thought, in the in-
terests of the moral character of the com-
munity, this should not be granted, and he
mentioned ho had taken a part, in refusing
another hall for the satnfe 'fnatch.
Ultimately the committee’s decision was
UDhsld bv 8 votes to 3.

Mr Ballantyne — Yes;

Mr Lindsay — Are there to be any boxing]
competitions? (Laughter.) ' 1
Mr Ballantyne — None whatever.
Mr Lindsay— Then you accept the condi-
tion that there is to be no boxing competi- |
tion except by the express permission of the
Magistrates 1
Mr Ballantyne — At. once.
Bailie Brown — Is Mr Howard proprietor

Mr Ballantyne — He is manager really for a
company.
Bailie Campbell — But the management 1
Twill be practically in his hands.
Mr Ballantyne — Yes.
. Lindsay — And he will take the respon- '
sibuitv of carrying out the Magistrates’ con-
ditions ?
Mr Ballantyne — Yes, he will be responsi-
ble for everything.
Mr Lindsay — The chairman wants to know

Mr Ballantyne — None whatever.
Bailie Dunlop — A different crowd alto-'i

. The Magistrates then retired, but almost i
immediately returned, and the Chairman an-
nounced that the decision of the Magistrates
was that the full theatrical license be gran-
ted till the month of May, and also that they !
had agreed to the relaxation in regard to i
smoking. |
MORALS OF KIRKINTILLOCH.
WRESTLING DEBARRED.
At the meeting of Kirkintilloch Town
Council last night, Mr Jack took exception
to the decision of me Hall Committee in
refusing an applicatoin to hold a wrestling
match. He saw no harm in wrestling, and
had gone a long way to see a match. He
had no hesitation in moving that they do
let the hall for such a purpose.
Mr Stark — for boxing too.
Dr Armstrong seconded, and said this was
a sport that applealed to a certain section
of the ratepayers, and they had as much
right to the use of the hall as any others.
If they ldoked to Japan, the country that
was now leading the van, they woul’d find
that wrestling was a part of the national
education. He saw no harm in it, and he
did not think it fair that the Council should
veto it.
Bailie Perry thought it. wa« more because
of the damage that might be done to the'
furniture that this application was refused.
Mr SUtIc— A nd to the person.*
jTiys Proves! — No ; -it was considered that
in the interests of the community Such a
thing sbbuld not be allowed.
Mr Stewart, convener of the- Hall Commit-
tee, ex-plained, that the application wae for
a -ioatoh between Munro, of Govan, and a
PajStek policeman, and for a stake of £100

Pickard’s Museum. — This exhibition continues
to receive a fair share of patronage in Glasgow.
Homard,” who is styled “ The Maid of the Sea,”
is ou exhibition here. She is a French lady, and is
a marvellous freak of uatare, having claws instead
of feet. Mons. Beaute. the champion fasting man,
is another attraction, and is to be seen daily in the
apartment in which he fasted for 39 days. The
liritanuia Panopticon, which is only a few doors
along frem the Museum and under the same I
management, is another" strong attraction, which
continues to be well patronised.

orderly in his conduct in the Royal Princess’s
Theatre last night, and caiising a general dis-
turbance. He pleaded not guilty.
A theatre attendant said that last night was
the opening performance of the pantomime,
and a crowd of young men, numbering about
35, took possession of the stalls. They com-
menced to shout and bawl and create a noise
with their sticks. The uproar became so bad
that the performance had to be stopped for a
period. Several of the rowdies were ejected,
and the accused, who seemed to be the ring-
leader, was put out four times. He persisted
in returning, and caused a disturbance in Mam
Street at the entrance to the theatre. The
g olice were summoned, and he was appre*
ended. . .
The accused said a considerable latitude was
allowed on the opening night of a pantomime,
and he considered the disturbance so trifling

The opening of the Princesr-’s Theatre |
pantomime last night was unfortunately
marred by the rowdy and annoying conduct
of a crowd of youths who took possession
of the etalls for the evening. As a result
of their ungentlemanly behaviour, it was
found necessary to call the police, and
several of the rowdies were taken in charge.
At the Southern Police Court this morn-
ing a young man, fashionably dressed, •
named Julius William Luth ? was charged
with having been disorderly in his conduct
in the Royal Princees’s Theatre last might,
and with causing a general disturbance. He .
pleaded not guilty.
A theatre attendant stated that last night
was the opening performance of the panto-
mime, ang a crowd of young men number-
ing thirty-five took possession of the stalls.
During the evening they kept up a con-
tinual shouting and bawling, and made
noises with their sticks. The uproar was
very annoying to the audience ’and artists,
and it became so bad that the pantomime
had to be stopped for a time. Several of
the interrupters were ejected, and accused,
who seemed to be the ringleader, was shown
the door on four occasions. He always
persisted in demanding re-admission, and ;
the disturbance he caused at the entrance to j
the theatre was so bad that the police had
to be called, and he was given in charge.
Other witnesses corroborated.
For the defence accused observed, in non-
chalant manner, that at the opening night
of a pantomime a certain amount of lati-
tude was always allowed. He considered
the charge so trifling that he did not deem
it necessary to bring witnesses.
Bailie MTnnes'Shaw said that such dis-
graceful conduct on the part of young men
who attended pantomimes would not be
tolerated. The people who visited these
places of amusement to enjoy themselves
would have to be protected. He would
modify the sentence to a fine of 103 6d, or
seven days’ imprisonment.
A number of the rowdies failed to appear
in answer to the same charge, and their
pledges were declared forfeited. The fact \
that the police will take action in causes of
the above nature in the future will, it i6 !
hoped, lead to a cessation of such hooligan «
demonstrations.

(Before Lord Salvesen and a Jury.)
An Aberdeen Theatre Incident.
In an action, the trial of which was begun to-
day, before Lord Salvesen and a jury, George
I M orison, piano-tuner, 64 Dee Street, Aberdeen,
sues Rosen and Bliss, lessees of the Palace
Theatre, Aberdeen, for £1500 damages for
assault ^ and violence used by one of the de-
fenders’ “ chuckers-out ” when ejecting the pur-
suer from the theatre on the evening of March
12 last. The pursuer had entered the pro-
menade on the evening mentioned. He avers
that the “ chucker-out ” accused him of
whistling during the performance, and notwith-
standing remonstrances “ lifted him off his feet
and hurled h;m with great violence down the
stair, and ejected him on the pavement in front
of the theatre.” During the whole of the time
the pursuer offered no resistance. He says he
was not making any disturbance, and avers
that by the assault he has sustained injury to
his leg, which has caused permanent disfigure-
ment, and will prevent him in the future carry-
ing on his work as a piano-tuner. The de-
fenders say that the removal of the pursuer was
rendered necessary by his own misconduct, and
that no unnecessary violence was used by their
servants.
The case was continued till to-morrow.
Counsel for Pursuer — Mr Morison, K.C-, and
Mr Mackenzie Stuart. Agents — Macphersoh
and Mackay, S.S.C.
Counsel for Defenders — Mr Guthrie, K.C.,
and Mr Arthur R. Brown. Agents — Alexander

POLICE-COURT PROCEEDINGS.
At the Southorn Police-court to-day a well-
dressed young man answered to the name of
Julius William Leith and pleaded not guilty !
to a charge of being disorderly in his conduct j
in the theatre.
An attendant stated that the rowdy com-
pany in the stalls numbered .about 35. The 1
accussed, who appeared to be tho ringleader, I
was put out four times, but sucoeodcd on each j
occasion in getting back again.
Accused said he always understood that at
an opening performance a certain amount of I
latitude was allowed the audience. He con- j
sidered the offence of which he had been ,
guilty so trifling that, he did not think it .
necessary to bring witnesses. - I
Bailie MTnnes Shaw said such disgraceful 1
conduct could not he tolerated. . It must have
been the .source of much annoyance to tho
many persons who went to enjoy tho panto-
mime. He was willing, however, to exercise
leniency, and the line would be IQs 6d with
the alternative of seven days in prison.

a "Telegraph” reporter. <‘I claim no sixth-9

i my wife to see something beyond her powers
jof visiion, I can transmit it to her.” That is'l
1 *u 6 c ^ a * m w ki c, b M. and Mme. Zancig put to ! .
I the proof every night in tlheir remarkable en- j
•1 tertainmont at the London Alhambra. M. <
| Zancig goes among the audience and receives/,
jail sorts and kinds of articles. Madame Zan-f»
I cig, remaining on the stage, is vet able to \
j Jesenbe those articles in the minutest detail, fri
W'nen a match-box is handed to M. Zancig, f:.
j almost before he has counted the matches ffe
j madame is telling the audience how many r*\
, there are. That is but a slight example, but
it serves to explain the kind of thought-read- I-'
ing of which M. and Madame Zancig are i
capable.
How is it done? M. Zancig doefe not pro- {
fess to explain. Chatting on the subject he t
remarked that when he thought of anything I ; -
intently his wife was consoious of the thought, y '
MADAME ZANCIG
could put herself in a. passive condition, in j •
which she recorded what passed in his mind.
How exactly that happened, what the power ^
wag, he left for others to explain. But the f
fact of his thought transmission was patent
for anyone to tost. Of the way in which he J
discovered the possession of this power M.
Zancig gave an interesting account.
"I know no more than anyone else how it
came, said he. “It grew naturally, it came
or us like a sneeze. Sometimes when we sat
down to dinner ray wife would say— T know
what you’re thinking of. my dear. I’m s-ury,
but I couldn’t got. any this morning.’ Well, I
hadn’t said a word, and I used to toil her
* hadn’t been thinking anything at all.
Oh! yes, she would answer. 'You were
thinking you would rather have’ (with humor-
ous reluctance, M. Zancig brought out the
word) ‘would rather have — calves’ brains than
this. steak.’ It. was quite true.” M. Zancig
continued. “Then we found that when we
j chose she could read my thoughts
WITHOUT A WORD BEING SPOKEN.
j No, I don’t need to will she should know
; '-j what Fm thinking. It’s enough for me to
. j think earnestly of the matter and for her
|, to pute herself in a condition to receive my
j 1 thought. But if she says — ‘I’m not going ..
' jl to get it’— she doesn’t get it. I ascribe our '
| power to the harmony that exists between
j 1 my wife and myself, the harmony that comes i
.from consideration for each other. When • -
the husband will have hie own way and the §
; wife will have hers, there are iars’ aren’t
- j there? When tho husband stop; to think, 'Is
f, she right, or am I?’ all goes well.” Hero')
jj'Mr Moul, of the Alhambra, interposed to
j suggest that M. Zancdg had mistaken his
0,1 vocation, and that instead of a thought- |
| reader he should be an expositor of matri-
! monial bliss. M. Zaneig went on to explain
! that his thought-reading would not work the !
reverse way.
i HE COULD NOT PERCEIVE HIS WIFE'S 1
THOUGHTS.
' She was always, so to speak, the receiver, -
he the sender, of thoughts. “I haven’t found
auy trouble,” said M. Zaneig, with a smile
“from her knowing all my thoughts. It cetr- >
tainly isn’t much use my having a quiet i
game of cards with her, for she always knows j[
| what cards I hold, and what I am going to I
play.” With some humorous • satis foccion, i
1 however, he to\d of one occasion on
l ( his wife’s perceptive power did not l - ’
Idler from a defeat at poker. He haftfl
Roes, but he thought of them as throe
land hie ng implicitly her viSMKI
■'•f his thoughts went down.
I ..At hrst 'M. jpug Zaneig (who

a high figure. They had before received !

That night M. Zancig asked for fifty. “Make j

SALE OP THE LYCEUM.
Mr. Brougham Glasier, of the firm of Glasier and
Sons, of St. James’s-street, S.W., offered the
Lyceum Theatre for sale at the Auction Mart,
Tokenhouse-yard, on Thursday afternoon. On a
previous occasion, it will be remembered, no sale
was effected, the property being withdrawn at a bid
under reserve price. The auctioneer, after an
eloquent description of the property, stated that
the sale was made under order of Mr. Justice
Ivekewich. In addition to the theatre, with its
seating capacity of 2,750 people, there was in-
cluded in the property shop and business pre-
mises at Nos. 33 to 37, Exeter-street, and No. 21,
Wellington-street, Strand. The purchase had to
be completed by March next. The rebuilt theatre
had been passed by the County Council, and was
ready to be re-opened. The reserve price was fixed
by order of the Court. The land on which the
property steed was undoubtedly of high value, and
in the Strand it realised 15s. to £1 per foot. Mr.
Glasier suggested that the site value was worth
£6 per foot for the freehold. There was a total
of footage equal at that value io not less than
£141,000. They ought to add to that at least
£50.000 as the cost of tho theatre, while the
contents wero “ thrown in,” and were worth £4,000
to £5,000; $o that they got near to a total of
£200.000. The first bid was £100,000, followed by
one of £105.000. then by one of £110,000, it being
decided to take rises of £5,000; then £115,000 was
bid, next £116.000, £117,000, and £118,000, and the
Auctioneer objected to £1,000 rises. Then came
£119,000 and £119,500, at which the property
was sold. The name of the purchaser was not
made public.
Tiie Lyceum, which failed as a variety theatre
both with one and two performances nightly, was
sold at the Mart on Thursda-y~by Mr. Brougham
Glasier, of Glasier and Sons. The price reached
was £119,500. The purchaser’s name was not dis-
closed.
The chronomega phono, tho newest development
in tho combination of bioscope and phonograph,
has aroused great interest at tho London Hippo- j
drome, but on Monday evening, during an illustra-
tion of tho “ Swing ” duet from Messager’s Veron-
ique, the light failed. A stage official announced
that one of the fuses had ‘‘..gone wrong,” but a
new picture would be shown. Tho audience waited
for several seconds, but the chronomegaphone re-

Mr. Bernard Armstrong, theatrical proprietor ‘
and variety entertainer, of tho Queen’s Theatre, '
Watson-street, and the New Gaiety (Tivoli) f
Theatre, Argyle-street, Glasgow, was examined in r
bankruptcy on Tuesday. There was a fair attend-
ance of creditors in Sheriff Balfour’s Chambers, j.
Glasgow County Buildings,, in which the pro- 1
ceedings took place, those present including Coun- i
cillor Scott Gibson, whose financial interest in !•
the examination was shown to be very considerable. ’
In answer to Mr. Angus Campbell, who appeared
as agent in the sequestration, Mr. Armstrong said S
he was thirty-eight years of age, and had been en- ;
gaged in the variety profession for about twenty l
years. For a number of years ihe had been lessee ‘
of a music hall in Glasgow. Eight years ago lie >
and Mr. Colquhoun entered into a partnership, '
which continued for about four years. lie took
the New Gaiety Theatre, then known as the ’
Tivoli, and formerly the old Victoria Hall. Into >.
that he paid in actual cash £2000, the result of his F
savings from liis profession, and Mr. Colquhoun
paid a like amount. The concern was created into
a limited liability company in 1902. Their share -
was about £8000 in stock— £4000 each— but he never .
realised a single penny out of the company.
That company collapsed, and was now in liqui- 5
dation. On its formation it expended a large sum f
on structural alterations in- tho Tivoli, amounting [
to between £12,000 and £13,000. The capital of the f
limited liability company was £15,000. This wa$J
a very large proportion for alterations, which |
proved to be very . unsatisfactory. He was ap-
pointed managing-director at a salary of £4 a 1
week. That was a loss, as he made about £20 a £
week by .taking professional engagements, and he 1
therefore resigned. The limited liability company 1
acquired the Queen’s Theatre in Watson-street. 1
That concern embraced both theatres, but the 1
Glasgow Corporation held that the original part- 1
nership of Colquhoun and Armstrong still existed,!
and had proceeded on that assumption. TheS
Queen’s Theatre paid. All the loss was incurred by f
the Tivoli.
Mr. Councillor Andrew Scott Gibson, who had®
advanced various sums, would have been a partner \ -
had the conditions of the lease been carried 8
through, but never drew a shilling out of the ®
business. Mr. Armstrong said he was at present M
carrying out a four weeks’ engagement as a ■
variety artist in England. The examination was S
adj ourn ed.

Two Attendants Assaulted.
About a couple of hours of the time of the
Southern Police Court was occupied this morn-
iag in hearing a charge of assault against a
young l£>an named Louis Collins, jun., who
resides 4 in Portugal Street.
It. was Alleged that while at the stalls bar in j
the Palace Theatre, South-Side, on the night
of the 24th November last, he assaulted two
attendants named Thomson and Donaldson.
1 The accused pleaded not guilty. Mr Angus
Campbell, writer, watched the case for Mr
Waldon, proprietor of the theatre.
It seems that Collins and his father had
been at the performance, and, just about
clbsing time, they went to the bar at the stalls,
whero the father ordered three glasses of
whisky, which he put into an empty beer bottle,
intending to carry it home. Thomson said
tnat when he saw what happened he asked
ftollins, sen., to leave the bottle, as
f it was strictly against the rules of
the theatre ‘to carry out liquor.
He refused, whereupon some words passed.
Thomson proceeded to say that the accused
jumped on his back, caught him by the nose,
and twisted it severely. Collins and his father
were ultimately ejected, but a large crowd as-
sembled outside and threatened to storm the
theatre.
James Beaton, fireman, stated that he came
to the assistance of the attendants when he
saw the fight going on at the bar. When they
got the men out on to the street a large crowd
gathered, and he saw Donaldson assaulted on
the pavement. It resolved itself into a pretty
rough fight, and the crowd attempted to force
their way into the theatre, but were prevented
Examined for the defence, Louis Collins,
sen., admitted ordering the liquor and putting
it in a bottle to carry it home. This was about
10.30. He refused to give up the liquor, being
ignorant at the time that it was against the
rules of the house to carry out liquor in a
bottle. He did not see any notice posted up
to that effect. „
The Magistrate (Bailie Wallace)— It is
against the conditions of the license to carry
out liquor in a bottle.
Witness said Thomson gave no explanation
to that effect, but simply demanded that he
should “ drop that bottle.'' The accused took
the bottle and poured the contents of it in
his cap.
The Assessor (Mr D. M. Alexander)— When
bo could not get it in his head he thought ho
would put it in his hat.
The .accused was examined on his own be-
half, and said he did not interfere till he saw
Thomson catch hold of his father and shake
him. The reason why he poured the liquor

YOUNG MAN CONVICTED.
Bailie Wallace, at the Southern Police
Court, this morning, heard a lengthy proof
in a charge of assart preferred against a
young man named Lewis Collins, jun. Tho j
offence, the indictment read, was commit- ]
ted in the Palace Theatre on 24th Novem- !
ber and that two attendants were assaul-j
ted.
For the prosecution it was stated that ac - 1
cosed and his father were at the stalls bar'
just as it was about to be closed. The
father was said to have ordered refresh-
inente, which he was alleged to have put
into a bottle for the purpose of carrying the
liquor out.
An attendant noticed what was going on,
and asked that the bottle and its contents
be left, as it was against the rules of the
place to carry out drink. The request was
not complied, with, and in a scuffle which

TO THE EDITOR.
Instead of the early door system which ;
prevails at theatres and music-halls, I j
would suggest that the managements ar- !
range their prices of admission so that all- ;
comers might be admitted from tlie time of ]
opening. An extra charge on a few front ;
seats would make all the < difference, and
leave the place of entertainment open for j
admission. Such a system as that proposed
would put an end to the long periods those
who patronise the cheaper parte of the
theatres have to wait More knowing
whether they can be admitted or not.

the beginning of the disturbance. Witness

his father had been simply kicked out of tbe

THE EARLY DOOR SYSTEM.
I In your interest ing oom petition for Letters
i I have not read anything of the following
. grievance, which I consider very hard on tho
1 working man who would like his children
1 to see the pantomimes, namely, the early
j! door system of entering our theatres.
1 At the present time tho advertised prices
| are aa usual, but when one parses the p<ay-
j box he has to bo content with a back seat,
I or standing room only, because the house
I is full with those who have paid the extra
| price for early doors.

j| clause in the licence to do away with this j
3 early door system.

Pantomime Row.
The idea prevalent among some voung ;
men that the first night of a pantomime j
affords a legitimate opportunity for indulg- -
ing in disorderly behaviour, to the annoyance j
[ of others who have gone to enjoy the per-
formance, was rudely dispelled at Glasgow 1
Southern Police Court.
v At the Royal Princess’s Theatre the j
other evening a number of young men were |.
seated in the stalls, and during the perform- I
anoe created a disturbance. Several of them
were ejected, and one of tho number, Julius
William Luteh, was apprehended.
At the Court tho accused said that at the j.
opening night of a pantomime a certain r
amount of latitude was always allowed, and
the disturbance was so trifl'ng that he did •„
not think it necessary to call witnesses.
Bailie M Tunes Sha.w said it was in tho
interests of the people who went to enjoy j
themselves at a pantomime that order should J
be maintained. He fined the accused 10s 6d. -
A number of other young men ooncerned 1
in the disturbance failed to appear, and their ,
'p -edges were forfeited.

The most s-tartling event of yesterday in the j Vh" hissing of onlookers outside, or persuaded
of the National Allianco of Variety
Artistes, Musicians, and Employees was the
decision of the executive of the Alliance to
make a further attack on Mr A dney Payne
and Mr Gibbons by starting in one of the
available halls in the centre of London
benefit performances in aid nf the strike
funds. Last night a procession of motor cars
ade a tour of the 14 halls involved in the
dispute. The occupants' of the cars included
Mane Lloyd, Gus Elon. Jo© Elvin, Alec
Hurley, and other stars, who delivered short
speeches on the strike outside tho halls.
Picketing was carried on more vigorously
than ever last, night, and many promises of
support to t.ho federation have come from
societies outside the music hall world. Sub-
scriptions. it was stated yesterday, were flour-

the
“ Charter ” Essentials.
Mr I' rank Gerald, the soerorary of
Variety Artistes lederatiou, stated very em-
phatically to a press representative yesterday
that at the present junctnro there could be no
possibility of arbitration being even thought
of by the official body of the Allianco. “ Toko
l * f .r ora me.” Mr Gerald added, “that we
shall accept nothing less than the signature of
tho two manag-ers to our charter. '
Another official of tho Alliance pointed out.
tnat it would be an absolute broach of faith
with Mr M'Naugbton. Mr Grimes, and Mr
Walter de Freco ro accept anything less than
the signature of Mr Gibbons and Mr Pavne
to the charter. These gentlemen had already
signeu. and were adhering both to the spirit
ana the letter of the contract.
Harry Randall's Hope.
Mr Harry Randall, interviewed in his
dressing room at Drury Lane Theatre, said:—
“All my sympathies are with the workers.
With the poor people in their endeavour
bring about u better state of things.
" borne of us are fortunate enough to be
able to dictate our own terms and also to
strike out clauses in contracts that we object
to, hut there are hundreds of artistes who have
been cruelly treated by managements whom 1
do not desire to specify.

nitely arranged to open the Lyceum oti ?\lon-
duv evening with a programme which will
include as many as can bo 'crowded into tho
bill of the numerous ‘‘stars” who are support-
ing tiho Alliance. Suoh a perform anodpt is [ion
thought, will prove an oncirmoua attraction to f ;
the public.
Last night a procession of motor-cars made
a tour of the 14 musio'halls involved in the
dispute. The occupants of the cars included j
Mario Lloyd, Gus Elon, Joe Elvin, Alec Ilur- jte>,
ley, and other ‘‘slurs,” who delivered short
speeches on the strike outside the halls, mm
C opies of the charter have boon sent to ©very k-rj
music-hall manager in London, and it is Qg*,
stated that several of them have promised
to sign them. *
Miss Mario Lloyd sent tQio following mes-
sago to the public: — “Wo have helped von
many times in tho cause of charity. Help ^
us now in the cause of justioe for our poorer
brethren. The managers are fighting with
the shareholders’ money ; wo are giving our ps
own.”
Meetings of music-hall artistes were held | -
yesterday in Manchester, Sheffield, Sunder-
land, and Cardiff.
“Next week," is was added, “we^hall cer-
tainly open one or two .halls and call on the
artistes on strike for the prOgTHmrfies.”
At the offices, in LondonAoi Mr Payne and
Mr Gibbons it was stated that the sum wJjich
artistes alone have Inst this week through t.h’e
strike amounts to between £3000 and £4000t ;
Matinees were held on Saturday afternoon
at the Tivoli and Oiford; the audiences were
small.
The announcement wa* made by Mr
Frank Gerald, secretary of the National
Alliance, at a meeting of music-hall artistes
now on strike in London, held at the Surrey
Theatre last, evening, that an agreement
had been come to botween the executive
and Dr Edmund Distin Maddiek, the pro-
prietor of the Scala Theatre, for a twonty-
one years’ lease of the Scala Theatre. The
• house would be opened next Thursday n 'ght
v ' the one-house a night, system, with a
programme comprising the cream of “star”
talent.
^OW IT STRIKES THE ARTISTE.
The fourteen London music-ha 11a affected
by, the music-hall artistea’ strike wero all
able to open on Saturday. The attendance
,, was, however, in most cases considerably
below tho average. Picketing was actively
engaged in py the Alliance members, and a
large number of hand-bill* were distributed
outside tho halls conoerned.

TTNFi
There is every probability that the music-
hall strike, which eo far has been confined !
to London, will immediately extend to the i
provinces. The light between the parties to
me dispute is being conducted with the ut-
most energy and remarkable resource, and |
there is little prospect at present of a con-
de being ’ * ’
ciliatory attitude being adopted.
On the oontiary, the struggle seems to be
increasing in intensity, and it is under-
stood that on the part of -the artists an
effort will be made to carry the war to the
principal cities in the country.
This step has been anticipated by most of
the managers immediately concerned, and
in order to meet Ninergencies arrangements
have been made with non-union artists to
take the places of those originally engaged,
should the latter fail to make their appear-

f(da y and night sometimes) more just? Nor can youi
wonder at the highly-paid ones trying to make the
best conditions they can for themselves while they
| are still popular, and in good health. When Marie ;
Lloyd was ill a while ago her salary ceased alto-i
gelher.
I wonld ask you who is to blame for the few ;
high salaries. Why, the proprietors themselves. |
As soon as an act becomes the rage at one hall, they j
outdo each other to secure it for their own par-
: ticular hall or halls, and what man or woman is
! there who will object to more money, especially if !
it is thrust upon him. The following case is from j
my own personal knowledge: A man made a great !
success with a certain 6ong, and the hall where he j
waa singing became packed every night. The pro-
prietor of the said hall was very pleased, and raised
the successful one’s salary from £7 to £12. I dare-
say the singer would have been quite satisfied with
this, but a manager from another hall offered him j '
£15 per week for his services. This the singer !
refused, when along canto an offer of £20, and tho i
singer, being like most men, being tempted, he fell. ;
And so it has been and always will be until one
man can see another make a bit extra without being [
greedy.— -Yours faithfully,

TO THE EDITOR OF " THE DAILY TELEGRAPH.”
Sib — A a a comparatively recent recruit from the
regular theatrical stage to that of the music-halls,
I am very proud of my position there, and as a
member of the Variety Artists’ Federation I have
every confidence in the action taken by that body. ,
Beyond this, however, I have nothing to say, and
I do not wish to be exploited as taking a prominent !
part in the strike.
If you could very kindly find room to publish the j
above statement, I shall be exceedingly obliged, as J
statements have been made in one or two papers j
j that make it appear as though I was taking special J
steps in the matter.— I am, &c.,

following : Little Tich, £20; Mr. Arthur Roberts, J

MUSIC-HALL WAR.
The dispute which is agitating the music-hall j
world continues. The principal feature of yes-
terday’s development is. the action of the London
Entertainments Protqfciifon Association. This
body, which already represents all the London
music-halls, is to be extended so as to include
provincial proprietors, decided upon a policy of
mutual support in the event of any of its mem-
bers being attacked by the National Alliance
of Music Hall Artists. On the other hand, the
1 dissatisfied artists claimed to have obtained a
! large number of new recruits, and several fresh
contributions have been made to their funds, i
A detailed account of the progress of the
struggle appears on p. 11.
Olympia, otherwise the Mammoth Fun City, has j
secured an astounding attraction, one who bears i
•with him an invaluable secret in these days of the
demoniacal motor and the skid. He is a gentleman
with tffe foreign-looking and yet singularly English I
compound name of Gadbin, and his quality and turn J
that of the “ Ecrase-V ivant.” A swarm of Press I
m£h gathered at Olympia yesterday forenoon to r*.|
witness his first rehearsal. M. Gadbin, who must be I
a bold 'in an in many senses, left Paris on Monday
night,, and crossed in tbg .teeth of the howling I
northerly, blast. He only managed to reach Olympia
in the nicl of time, but without his five-ton 40 h.p. !
motor, which- is presumably waiting for better :
weather. In mufti/'-' without his swagger show j
clothes, the gentleman who withstands “ crushing,” |
a nut not to be cracked even under the wheel, under-
I took to give his performance. At that ho&r, all
i that could be found “ on the rank ” was a hansom ; ’
• not a motor was within hail. “ Cabby ” was invited j
j to drive into the ring, and then eight gentlemen, who
• had partaken of substantial lunches, gdt into or \
upon the “ hansom,” as might have been on a Bank j
jj Holiday. The vehicle was driven along, and M. j •
j Gadbin put out his left foot and allowed the wheel | . ^
, to roll over it. He seemed not & whit disconcerted I
i by that diversion. Then he lay on the ground face -
j downward, and again the cab was set in motion, and
5 one of its rubber -metal-tyred wheels passed over the .
1 middle of his back. He emitted someting like a ,
J squeak, caused, as he said, by the ridge of rubber and I
j iron pinching him as the wheel ran over his body. But ^
l he got up and laughed, seemingly not a wliit the ! "j
j worse, though a hansom with nine people had just j
run over him. On Monday next M. Gadbin will [
appear in public and be run and re-run over by
the five-ton motor carrying a load of passengers.
How he does it, and all for the fun of the fair, is | j-
well worth seeing, and — better still — of knov ing.
Other attractive items will also be added To the •
programme at Olympia.

Olympia, otherwise the Mammoth Fun City, has

•with him an invaluable secret in these days of the

with fctfe foreign-looking and yet singularly English
compound name of Gadbin, and his quality and turn

PROGRESS OF METROPOLITAN
STRUGGLE
GLASGOW OPINIONS.
Ihe suggestion of arbitration in the Lon-
don Music Halls dispute has been made, but
each side refuses to entertain the idea, and
continues to stand firm.
Members of I'arliament attending the
Labour conference at Belfast have signed
a statement appealing to the public to sup-
port the National Alliance, which has been)
HI lermed to represent the music hall artistes
Hi m their struggle with the Music Hall Trusts. I
|ji ^ interviewed by a representative of the
I ‘ ^*y R«*>nd and Mail,” Mr. Bransby j
Williams spok© of what lie regarded as the
!| bad habit ’ of signing contracts which in- J
j|j eluded matinees.” It was undoubtedly a!
>!j hardship for the music-hall artiste, especially [
|j| ,n Metropolis, where he might l>o cn- [
Bl o^ff^d for, say, three hails a night, to have }
[J ,n J at,Jiees suddenly sprung upon him for ['
-I ,1C did not receive any extra remunera- :
d tion, and on aooount of which, did he not h
: appear, a pro rata sum was struck off his 1
weekly salary.
J Ihus, said Mr. Williams, an artist on the jf
;| two houses a night principle, might twice !
|j ° r diree times a week have not only to
I appear six times (covering three hails), but
| have three matinees as well, making nine
| performances a day.
| It was the force of competition that made
| the matinees. Originally one matinee on
| Saturday was not grudged on the compara-
« tIveJ y f ew occasions on which it was asked,
but tiie contracts now might mean that two
or three matinees might be suddenly sprung
on an artiste whose signature to the" contract
left him no adequate excuse for complaining.
As to the Strike itself, Mr. Williams pro-
fers to observe a discreet sile.no© at the
^ t, 33 .£i -j§ ; ,>r,s . ent time. It was not only the actual
w 2 o .. w musio-hall artistes who were concerned, he
^ cl S — ^ Jgi tcn.imhid our representative. but the

Mr. \\ ill Evans expressed tho opinion that H
the matinee question was Uie point that had
created the most outcry among music-hall
artiste;. It frequently, he considered,
operated a., a distinct hardship, although he
personally always had been treated with the
greatest consideration where extra per-
formances wore concerned.

BRITANNIA PANOPTICON.
THE BEITANNIA (GLASGOW).
55ifi entertainment provided at this popu-
lar establishment this week is of a capital
■nature, and large audiences rule at every
performance. Cissy Arris is a clever comedi-
enne and expert danoer, whose numbers
please greatly. Mise Minnie Osborne is
quite a favourite at this hall, and her fort-
night’s engagement has been a very success-
ful one. Her charmingly rendered coon
eongs, and equally graceful presence, win
for her the enthusiasm of her audience.
Vosco, a conjuror,, has business which
creates roars of laughter. Bert Serony, light
comedian, adds a good number. The chrono
phone, with new eongs and pictures, re-
mains a feature of the programme, and
much interest is aroused by the panonto-
scope.
Mr Pickard announces that he will thi-
year hold his first carnival at the Panopti-
With this end } n view he has had
that part of the building completely trans-
formed, and many side-shows and novel-
ties added. No expense has been spared to
ensure a successful carnival, and visitors
during the holidays are assured of full value
for their money.
i Mr Pickard’s establishment in the Tron-
I gate is again to the front with a well-se-
i lected programme. The Chioncphone is
1 again to the fore, the principal subjects
being “ The death scene of Little Nell,”
(from Dickens’s “Old Curiosity Shop";
This little giri and that,” a selection from
the musical comedy “ Little Alichus." Pro-
minent on the bill also is Alias Minnie Os-
borne, charming vocalist and dancer, re-
tained from last week. A pleasing num-
ber is submitted by Bert Serony, light
comedian. Miss Cissie Arris charms all in
song and dance. Vosco, comedy conjurer,
causes roars of laughter with his burlesque
conjuring. Pickard’s first annual carnival

“ One thing this affair has done for us,” said
another member of the Alliance. “ It has enable*!

To hie honour be it said, the manager who had signed
unhesitatingly replied that, having adhibited his

solicitor to him with the object of persuading him
that the agn went had no legal force. That is how
scfno managers are acting.”
“ You see,” said another music-hall performer,

what we might do in London — or elsewhere for that
matter — if we were put to it. The Holbora is one
of the halls affected in this dispute. Suppose we
took the Holborn Town Kail, for instance, and
opened a rival show, what sort of bill would we not
have ? Why we might have twenty " star ” turns—
such a bill as even London has never seen, and we
could easily work throe or four halls with the same
company. In that way we should soon settle whom
the public come to hear.”

indulged in with regard to oertain managers,
but, on tbe other band., the members found
much to inspire them in the telegrams an-

them, it is said, from all parte of the
country. The straits to which certain halls had
been reduoed on the previous evening were naturally
the subject of a good deal of mirth, and offers of
servioe on picket duty were ready and numerous.
There were loud cheers when intimation was made
that Mr. Preston had refused an offer of double
salary to give his entertainment at the Oxford and
the Canterbury halls. Mr. Preston declared, it is
said, that all the members of his company, over
thirty in number, were federationists, and that if it
had been at all possible he would have made the
three horses which appear in his sketch federationists

amidst shouts of execration, that on going to one
of the affected halls at which he had been appearing,
in order to bring away his properties, he found his
apparatus all smashed.

nival,. tbe only town in Scotland up to the
,, - .
'present time where this can be found being j
BdinbtiTgh. But Mr B. A. Pickard, the en-
terprising and genial proprietor of this popu-
lar mid-eity establishment, has brought the
West to tne level of the East by introducing
;hi-8 first aruraal New Year’s Carnival, to
take place within the Panopticon, which has
quite a host of the newest and most up-to-
date novelties having been secured. There
are quite a large number of side shows jj.
which should provide endless amusement w
Sat the merrymaker. At the Britannia, |!
I which is within the same building, a fi 18 ^- jj
j rate variety programme will be submitted, }
! with that popular local Scotch comedian, ,
Mr J. H. Harris, at the top of the bill. The :
! other members of the company are all of a 1
! talented nature and certain to prove enjoy- 1
; able. One of the latest inventions, # the
] Ghronophone, will also be shown. This is
! a wonderful combination of bioscope and ,
gramophone, and has only to be heard and j
] seen to be fully appreciated. In view of j
I tbe enormous rush which is certain to be 1
\ experienced, there will be continuous per- g

ribbon, and so made a huge hit, with Col- |
umbine as a neat maid, and Harlequin, ruff
round his neck, spangles and wand, os a
magic invisible being more like Mercury
than ever.
The Harlequinade thus firmly planted in
England remains to this day,' but Clown
was principal character and Punch usurped
the spangles of Harlequin when he became
a popular Loudon street entertainment in
James I.’s reign.
We had in 1702 Penkethman of Drury
Lane as Harlequin, and the fame of Harle-
quin was growing from 1688 to 1723, to cul-
minate with the renowned Harlequin Piich,
who is the most famous of all English Har-
lequins.
But if Rich was the most celebrated of
English Harlequins, <as Grimaldi (senior)
was of world-wide reputation as a great
Clown, Barnes well known as Pantaloon,
and the Columbines were as many as they
were beautiful.
To arrive at to-day. There seems to be
a wave of interest in the country on the
11 Harlequin idea. The most celebrated re-
vival of the old Italian figures has been due
to Mr Barrie, who has given us, in "Panta-
loon,” one of the most perfect of quaint
plays, and he has been fortunate in his
company of actors. Pantaloon, whether ■
played by Gerald du Maurier or Albert Che- i
valier, has a touch of immortality : unless I \
am much mistaken, the part of Pantaloon
will be the desire of many actors. Then *
Air -Waller has played "Ine Harlequin '
King.” and W. i?. Gilbert turned Mr Bour- i
| chier's company into tbe Harlequinade ;
characters with a touch of his magic pen. ;
j I must not forget the great favourite of j
I Drury Lane, now, alas! gone — Harry Payne I
— who was in modern times our 'greatest '■
| Clown. _ ^

FEAT ABANDONED.
At midnight last night Mons. Beaute had
reached the 39th arid final day of bi« fast,
which beats his previous record, but is
within the period established by Sued at
the London Aquarium. As has already
been stated, the authorities interfered and
ordered the exhibition to be stopped. Mons.
Beaute, himself, however, on being spoken
to on Wednesday evening, said he was cer-
tarn tie could, if allowed to continue com-
plete the 46 days. Tlie fasting man’s con-
dition this week has. been very satisfactory, t
the only complaints being slight headache j
^Jid weakness in the legs* It seems a pity j
that ^he had thus to abandon his attempt,
as > he had been Allowed to continue till |
to-morrow evening a world’s record would
nave been established. Since the com- 1
mencement of his fast on the 1st of Octo-
ber he has lost in weight a little over two
stone, yet it is remarkable the vitality he
displayed to the last. He regrets that the I
performance had to end before the time de- t
terminer upon, and gives his assurance that
he_ would have “lasted” till next Thursday.
In the interests of his business Mr Pick-
ard informed Beaute that he must starve
no longer. It may be stated, howeveT, that

The interest in Mons. Beaute, engaged in L"

THE FASTING MAN IN GLASGOW.
MARVELLOUS FEAT.
As everyone knows the latest novelty in Glasgow
is a fasting man. M. Victor Beaute has been brought
to the city by Mr A. E. Pickard specially to break
the record in the longest fast endured by any man
who survived the ordeal.
M. Bsaufce has undertaken to do without food for
forty-six days. Thera was a considerable crowd of
spectators on the 1st in3t,, in Pickard’s American
Museum, Trongate, < Glasgow, when M. Beaute i
entered the little cabin from which he will not issue
again for a month and a half, or, to be quite precise,
until Wednesday, the 15 :h November next.
This cabin, which has been specially made for the
fasting man, is built of wood with glczed windows on
all fesr sides, so that he is open to view both by night
and by day. It is divided into two parts by hang?n°-
curtains— one part containing an iron bedstead with
mattress bed, the other an arm-chair, one small chair,
a small chest of drawers, and a table with toilet
requisites.
There is no door in the cabin, and when M. Beaute
stepped inside through one of the windows, the gap
was closed up with glass, and he was, as some one
remarked, “ ent off from the world.” There he will
remain until the end of his long trial of endurance
under the supervision of Mr Harry Hill, foreman to
Mr Pickard.
Every morning the ganze covering a small sliding
panel will be removed, his temperature will ba taken
by the doctor in attendance, and his weight will also
be taken.. The medical man will then fasten the
panel again and seal it as he leaves it day by day.
M Beaute has visited the Royal Infirmary and
surprised the doctors there by the soundness of his
health and the strength of his bone and muscle after
undergoing so much fasting as he has done. As a
guarantee uf good faith he gives them permission to
come down and examine the contents of his stomach
on the expiry of 46 days.
M. Beaute is a dapper little man, 5 feet 5 inches
in height, and weighing il st. 7 lbs, when he entered
his trial on 1st inst. He is 31 years of age, and a
native of Zurich, Switzerland. He is single, he says,
with a laugh, which conveys the impression that the
fact goes without saying. This is the nineteenth
time he has put himself to such a strain, bnt only the
fourth time in Britain.
Ho gave performances of all kinds ali over Ger-
many, Holland, and Belgium. In England he fasted
for 24 days in Brighton, 28 days in S mthend, and 24
days in New Brighton. His longest fast hitherto has
been 32 days.
Whilst fasting he lives entirely on cigarettes, cf
which he smokes ten a day, more or less, and on
water. The cigarettes have been supplied by Messrs
M’Kenzie & Co., tobacco manufacturers, 40 Royal
Exchange Square, Glasgow. Before undergoing the
fast he lived for a fortnight entirely on beif tea.
Mr Pickard invites any medical man to come down
and see M. Beaute any time either by day or by night
during the fast.

The effect of the resolution of the London Enter-
tainments Protection Association may be stated
generally to be that the attack which was made
originally against Mr. Gibbons, who controls the
six halls named last in the above list, and extended
to the eight other halls, is to be resisted By the
managers of all the halls, and if attacked they are

three secretaries presented the terms that had pro*
viously been agreed to by Mr. Walter Gibbons, after
his dispute at Brixton. It was pointed out that
several clauses did not apply to the Tivoli and Oxford,
and, after three hours’ exhaustive discussion, modi-
fications of some of the clause® affecting artists,
calculated to pave the way to mutual arrangement,
were made by the secretaries, who agreed to return
a copy of these amended clauses — after reporting
same to their executive — for consideration by the

its next available meeting. The clauses affecting

asked when seats were being booked that there would

of last night the pnblic are inclined to hold back and
various remarks have been made at the booking-
offices which indicate that the pnblic think that the
consideration shown to them by those responsible for
cl osing the house is certainly not conspicuous.”
VARIETY ARTrSTS CONFIDENT,
The attitude of the artists can best be summed up
hi the two words— confidence and determination.
-How do you think it will all end?” inquired a
representative of The Daily Telegraph yesterday of
a variety artist active in the present movement.
“Of course we shall win,” was his prompt reply.
- We are bound to win. I really don’t see how we
fail.” “ Have the big artists thrown in their lot

halls which have been named, and at most of these

It is understood that the manager of one of the

CASE FOR THE ALLIANCE,
OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
Throughout yesterday exoitemeni reigned at the
headquarters of the National Alliance. Artists and
South London. Islington E mpire. . canoe and went in a continual stream, and
many uow members were enrolled. Sinoe the crisis
arose aorae 3,000 names have been added, and the
membership of the .Alliance, which embraces artists,
music tans, and theatrical employes, has now reached
• total of about 15,000. Alike among leaders and
yynW and file the utmost confidence prevailed, and
afl apparently shared in the determination to fight
to the end. During several hours the executive sat
in oonclave, and late in the afternoon an official
statement was issued, in which it was stated: “Mr.
Gibbons has informed the public that be has carried
oat his agreement with the Alliance in the letter
and in the spirt. Had he done so the present strained
position would newer have come about. In the case
of his musicians he says be is paying the union rate,
and that we desire to compel him to dismiss old ser-
vant® because they are not members. That is untrue,
because every member of his orchestras is a member
of the union. The trouble in so far as tho musicians
are ooncerned is due entirely to Mr. Gibbons
Instructing his musical directors to weed the union
men oat, two at a time, and replace them with non-
unionists. The Alliance has by Mr. Gibbous’s action
been forced into insisting on his carrying out the
promises whkh be gave on two differ cot ocoasions
tt engage union mem at union rates.
* As regards the artists, Mr. Gibbons has tried to
prejudice the oase of the Alliance by pointing to the
salaries he is paying to the best-known artists. Surely
be must see that be is giving bis own case away,
because they must have drawn the money in bis halls
ftve or six times over, or he would never have
engaged them. On the other band, it must surely
reflect the highest credit upon these artiste who are
m receipt of such comfortable salaries that they are
gfaTwUng by their poorer brother and sister profes-
sionals Mr. Gibbons says thwt no artist has been
engaged by him at less than £4 per week. That is
not the case. Some of our members hold contracts
for considerably less than that per week. The public
do not understand what even the highest salaries
mean. They do not know that the artists have to
provide their dresses, ‘fit-up,’ band parts, and even
special scenery and properties. Then they have to
pay their travelling expenses from one town to
soother, and in the majority of cases keep two homes
going. The artist may be engaged in London this
week and in Glasgow the next, and he has to get there
kl his own expense. Add to this the fact that the
krtist is often out of work for weeks at a time, and
It will bo seen that the music-hall profession is
hot the pleasant one Mr. Gibbons wishes to make it
sat to be.
“As regards the staff, a certain class of managers
Introduced the system of underpaying the stage
hands, because of the generosity of the artists in
tipping them at the cud of the week. Unless members
abiding by this arrangement the alliance sent a letter
on Jan. 10 to Mr. Toaer, asking him to place before
the meeting of the London Entertainment Protection
Association, not the modified demands, but the
original demands, plus an entirely new clause. On
the following day the alliance receded still further by
declining to deal at all with the London Entertain-
ments’ Protection Association, upon which, the
following letter was sent by Mr. Tozer to the alliance
Jan. 12
they are all with us.”
“ la there any danger of artists being imported
from the Continent to supplant the strikers at
home?” asked The Daily Telegraph representative.
- Not the slightest,” said the enthusiastic variety
man. “You see," be added, “we work hand- in- j
hand -with the International Artiste’ League, whose
headquarters are in Berlin, and which includes in
ite ranks absolutely every name of any account in
the music-halls all over Europe. Why, Mr. Mount- 1
ford, one of the leaders in the present movement,
and a member of our executive committee, is the pre-
sident of the English branch of the International
Artists’ League; while Mr. Bartram, the editor of
our federation official organ is also a member of the
English executive of the league. No; we have

We belong to a profession of which the public is
sometimes inclined to speak slightingly, and yet we
have the leading lights in the business throwing
in their lot with the very humblest grade of per-
formers. It almost brought a lump to my throat-”
“How will the comparatively poorly-paid grades
of the profession be able to stand the strain of a
protracted struggle,” asked a Daily Telegraph repre-
sentative of another fedoratiooiist. “ Oh, I don’t
think we have much to fear on that score,” was the
reply. “The well-paid members of the pi
will, of course, be all right financially, and they will I
see to it that the humbler members do not suffer.” I

j by men and women towards the abnormal of j.

p' :j A very extraordinary anomaly of the |
l^HSl human kind is being exhibited in Glasgow 5
y
j| just now at Mr. Stewart’s Waxworks, 1^'
j Oowcaddens. Designated “tho wild man, ’
il. he is an extraordinary and wonderful speci- [v r;
d men of tho human species, resembling |-"’ !
Jfl physically as much a boast as a man. Tho |
i; shouldors, part of the back and chest, and I '
i'ono of the arms are entirely covered with gj|
; large quantities of black, shaggy hair, having rH
the appearanoe almost of a sealskin coat, £.'£
i while on the rest of the body aro patches
of discoloured skin, from which grow tufts J|£
of hair, and which have occasioned tho title L:,
of the “leopard man” sometimes bestowed £
on him.
The face, which is covered with a thick j
beard and moustache, presents no abnormal I
characteristics. The expression, if perhaps r ;
somewhat furtive, is by no means stupid or tv_
ferocious. Ik

This is his first visit to the British Isles, U

in temperament, though he becomes C
occasionally violent, especially — and this is up

also predisposes him to ill-temper. p

THE MUSIC-HALL
STRIKE,
SOME GRIEVANCES,, OF THE
EMPLOYEES.
By H. UJIMILTOM FYFE.
Everybody knows that there is a strike of
London music-hall performers; very few people
indeed know what it is all about. I have just
spent two hours with the strike leaders, and I
urn, 1 think, in a position to make the matter
plain. - _ .
First of ail. it must be borne in mind that this
is not a conflict between music-hall performers
and music-hall managers; it is a conflict be-
tween the music-hall profession and a few
managers. The number of well-known per-
formers who are holding alool is quite small, and
the lesser people arc naturally warm supporters
oC the movement.. The proportion of managers
agreeable to the demands of the performers is
put as high as nine-tenths. Even the two managers
whom the profession is lighting, have professed
to be in accord with those demands. I he fight,
•then, is not over the whole ground between those
who manage and those who are employed *u
music-halls; it only covers a small part of it.
The next thing to recollect is that the highly*
pu.v* performers are not fighting for money
all. are asking why these “ star#, ’ with
huw> salaries, should be on. strike. The reason
is that they sympathise with their poorer
brothers and sister* and are fighting tor them.
The “ artists " have their grievances, but they
are not concerned, as are the grievances of the
musicians and of the stage hands, with salaries
at all. ,
New, first of alii, let us see what each branch
of the profession i» asking for. Each branch
has a trade •union, and a set ox requirement* ail
out and dried.
The Variety Artiste* Federation, which was
farmed last April, has drawn up nine clauses,
to which it asks aid managers to assent. The
r great majority of thorn, as I have said, raise no
objection. We will examine these clauses one
by one.
> CD That y,t all haUs working two shows a night ail matxhfes
Shall bo paid for at th« rats of twelfth ^*rv for 63011
: mating. In oco-show a eight, bails all matinees over oio per
weak to be peirl for at the rate of one-seventh s»lar 3 .
To explain this it is necessary to mention
ihai a few y«*r» ago » number of music-hall
managers, being either in reduced ciroumefcance®
or anxious for larger gain®, decided to give two
performance® every evening ins.cad or cue. The
firsl begins. as a rule, abbot 6.45, and the second
about nine o’clock. Prices are reduced, but the
object is, of course, to make more profit, and it
is usually achieved.
Well, when this system came into force the
bulk of the performers were told that they would
have to appear twice instead of once for the same
salary. They had not to give quite such long
' “ turns ” as before, but it meant that they had
1 to be hanging about the theatre much longer, or,
if they had other engagements elsewhere, to do
i i’ 3 jT. more travelling than formerly. -
wiinSS Kftiitft 2 swS *
id) '' t*} 0 */'
„itb “two house® a night.” The custom with
regard to matinees was that the performers en-
gaged for six performances a week gave one
mating free. When they were engaged af the
same salaries for twelve performances a week
this free matinee was, still demanded of them,
end they raised no objection. But when, instead
ot one, they were expected to give two free
matinees the matter became serious. Of course,
m a few exceptional eases artists could make
their own terms with managers, but with toe
rank and file it came to this--they were now-
giving fourteen performances a week, and yet
receiving no more money than when they gave
only seven. .
Nor did the managers’ encroachment stop here
even. In many contracts are now the vrerda
" Matinees as required." There were at one
London bull mutinies every day for almost a
week together. Yet the performers got no
extra pay!
If von look back to the demand of the federa-
tion respecting matinees you will see that it can-
not be considered anything but reasonable and
just.
(SI Thst uo arttel or ajt&tfi stall to (.ramafeeiKl from can
m i to another without til, her, or tborr cotMuh'..
Music-hall performers make agreements as a
rule on Mondays with manager® who have several
halls under their control, and these managers
claim the right to shift them about from one to
another of these halls as they please. This comes
very hard upon performers who have several
engagements to keep every evening, tor example,
suppose a singer is engaged to appear at Chelsea.
He can work in another engagement at Hammer-
smith without much difficulty, but it he is sud-
denly transferred to the north or east ot London
he cannot manage Hammersmith as well; he. has
to give that up and lose the money.
Or. again, suppose the manager has ha-ll-s at
Cardiff. Swansea, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. He
can make a performer uppear one week a f
Cardiff, the next at Edinburgh, the third at
Swansea, and the fourth at G.-asgow. The
amount that his to be spent on travelling
mounts u.p considerably.
(J) Ttat “ tHw " uiiail ac * 4 be jied after Monday in. eacU
Wffei wkt-out ft* surttet’S cnasent.
This is meant to guard artist® against a. little
Way managers have of squosrfoig cut a turn
th e v do not partocolariy want. They find out
the hour at which this "turn” is booked for
another hill, and say it must, come on at that
hour in their hail. It cannot do so. of coarse.
The artist has to break his contract and lose
hie job. It ’g scarcely u®re««ona.b!e to ask that
perform"Ts sb u'd lx; allowed to know on Mon-
days at what hour they will have to appear
during the week.
(O That -11 AlspatM sNsll be referred to a Wrn of arbitra-
tion,' eve.) bo.ni io oorn-'st of two nominees of tbe Variety
Arti-stts’ FViduTMt'oa exrotn've ccwiinSMes. two o-Tnln>'*3 of the
ov.n’Fe-lv.l'l loiana-yeLii, and «'.Q iTSde’-osniasit clrainoaai 1 , to \»
UGm'nfi'fed by the above four Nominees.
That clause- -oqui-es no explanation. It strikes
nt-s as suggesting a fair-minded and simple way
out of the difficulties.
Now comes the meet important demand of all.
It roads thus: —
( 5 ) Thut a “ barring olauwt ” of o>u« Kril& and m/mit’ua
In Ucmidou aad' five ml tea aud fire oxoirtb® to the provlTcoee be
adopted.
This requires some explanation. In all music-
hall contracts there is a clause by which tier-
formers agree not to net- form within a. certain
ji distance of the hall in which they are contracting
to appear. This is quite an intelligible stipula-

r A TALKING LAMP.
TELEPHONE AND ITS WORKING^!;
j Rjdfessor W. Dttddell yesterday delivered, !
I bet Sr,, a largo audience, at the Royal Instd- !
j .tu’Afflii, London, the fourth of his Christmae j
i cotnv.e of lectures on signalling. His 6ub- j|
, jeet was “The Telephone and its Working,” |'
which the lecturer introduced by giving a l|
' number of interesting experiments, indicat- j|
i ing how the vibration of air produces and L
’ affects sound. Bjfdantem slides he showed
the varying effects of musical sounds and i 1
the inflexions of the human voice, and then ji
went on to explain the fundamental prin- iii
1 ciples nf the bell telephone, the carbon
. transmitter, and its development into the
c modern microphone. \
j - On the soreen appeared a series of views
-j illustrating how messages are received and
■ answered through the telephone exchange,
and in this connection the lecturer men-
tioned the interesting fact that, popular as
the telephone is in America, whereas in
London every person who has a telephone
uses it on the average six times a day, in
New York the corresponding averaga is only
a fraction over fonr times a day. One of
the most interesting experiments shown wa3
that Of telephoning along a stream
Hfeht.
Tha lecturer remarked that from the
latest experiments made in Berlin an are
lamp might be made capable of talking,
tlyimrh U, what practicable use this might,
be made to apply could only at present be
conleoture d.
The fate of a floating menagerie oarried by
tne German cargo steamer Lichtenfelf, which
put into Xow-Ybrk recently, is one of the
most tra.gio chapters in animal history.
The crew of the Lichtenfels are animal
lovers to a man, and when the vessel left
Calcutta she carried quite a hundred pete.
She arrived in New-York (says the Express
correspondent) with one — a mangy cat mat
had seen many viois^ita idiSSi.... « r
The captain had a ecUlS dog, the first officer
a. Young - crocodile, the second officer halt a.
dozen parrots, the chief engined a doe. the
‘•second engineer a choice pair of hooded
cobras, the fifth and sixth engineers divided
the ownership of three mongooses, and so on;
while the Lascars in the forecastle had thirty
monkeys, several hairy-nosed porcupines*
Malayan squirrels, and numerous birds. The
cook was the proud owner of a well- developed
young cheetah. All hoped to sell their pens
profitably in
, NEW-YORK.
The cheetah. began the trouble. He sur-
reptitiously bit a piec out of hie owner s Leg
in the cootc’s galley, and killed -the chief en-
gineer’s doe. He was finally driven over-
board by a party of angry seamen.
Within two days of Suez, a Red Sea sand-
storm blinded the monkeys*, and almost drove
them mad. Finally, aLl but two jumped over-
board. The Lascars, depressed by so any
suicides, sold the survivors at Suez.
A day later tho crocodile hit one of the
engineers so violent, a blow on the head that
he remained stunned for some time. The
sailors chastised him so vigorously that they
cracked his skull, and- he was heaved over-
Goinsr through the Canal, the colLio barked

on the 'bank, lost his balance, and was
drowned. £ .
The squirrels died. Tho cat was worsted in
encounters with the porcupines, but she sur-
vived, whlie they died from various causes.
Two parrots were killed by the cat, ^ and
tho rest died of • the cold in the ' North
Atlantic. , ... ,
Then a gale, which raged seven days, killed
off others, and there were only left the oat, i

THE OUTLOOK
The War in The Music-Halls.
The National’ Alliance of Music-hall Artists
must bo granted much credit for the secrecy
and suddenness with which it prepared the war
that now rages in the music-halls. The society
was only completely organised on Sunday night,
when the three unions which exist to defend
the rights of those employed in the music-balk
amalgamated, and the Variety Artists’
Federation, representing the “ stars ” and
j^rformers; the National Association of
Theatrical Employees, representing the
workers employed on the stage and in
subordinate positions ; and the Amalgamated
Musicians' Union, including a large proportion
of the musicians engaged in the various
■orchestras, joined hands to do battle with the
managers, and to obtain the more favourable!
conditions'’ for the humbler workers laid down
in their “ eMrffcr.”
On Monday the struggle opened dramatically
with a strike in the six halls controlled by Mr.
Gibbons. The advertised jwrfortners declined
to put in an appearance. “ Little Tieb," Mr.
Arthur Roberts, Miss Marie Lloyd, Mr. Alec.
Hurley, and numerous less-known names,
among the absentees. The very musician
fused to -discourse music. After a longer, or a
shorter, wait tho audiences dispersed, and
received the return of their entrance money.
The complaint made against Mr. Gibbons was
that he had failed to accept the “charter”
aim of the union appears a laudable one — to
obtain a living wage for the poorer class of em-
ployee. The scale of wagos to be paid is laid
down iu tho “ charter ” at 36s. per week in the
case of musicians and “ corresponding rates"
ill other classes of workers. The artists, however,
who have made common cause with the humbler
uiembers of their union, allege distinct
grievances of their own. They complain of the
“ barring clause ” in their contracts, which pre-
vents them from performing elsewhere than iu
the hal s for wliieh they are specially retained.
They object to transfer from one hall to another
without their consent and by compulsion. They
also ask for matinee pay, to chock the practioe,
which they assort has been growing up, of re-
quiring their appearance at such performances
without remuneration. They point out
that though the salaries of “ stars ”
may be large in some eases, there
are yet many instances in which performers
roceive only a miserable remuneration. Thus,
to give one example out of many, a troupe of
eight girls receives only a salary of £6 per week,
or only 15s. apiece. On such a low Wage it is
impossible for any self-respecting woman to live
with decency. Common humanity and
sympathy for the oppressed are appealed to by
the union.
The managers reply that the dividends earned
by the halls are not large iu view of the risks.
Both Mr. Gibbons and Mr. Payne protest that
they pay the full union rate of wages. They dc-
ffend the “ barring clause” by the plea that whore
peciaily high terms are paid to artists such
restrictions are not unreasonable. Our
contributor “ Bevis ” yesterday p intod out that
the accounts of one largo West End music-hall
■ howed that, out. of total receipts to the amount
and had “ broken his signed agreement to give of £43,000, salaries and wages absorbed £23,000,
fur terms and conditions ” to the artiste and and that the net profit made was only £8,000.
employees at his halls. On his part he contends ]
that there was no breach of faith, and that
lie was only given half an hour to accept or
; refuse the “ charter,” which allowed him no j
< time to consult his directors. The first blow
of Monday night was followed up by a similar I
stroke on Tuesday, when the performers and
employees at eight halls managed by Mr. G. A.
Payne, struck work. At six of the eight no
performance was given, at one a partial
performance, and tho eighth a complete
entertainment, with, however, new performers. DAILY
[Like Mr. Gibbons, Mr. Payne had been called
upon to sign the “charter,” and had declined.
The war threatens to spread to the provinces,
and it wil! bo, we are assured, a war to the
knife. It is well, therefore, that the public
shou d understand the questions at issue. The
Meantime the crisis continues, and, in the words
of Mr. Moul, the popular manager of. the
Alhambra, will be fought out to the end by the
managers. The public will look for some
evidence from tho various authorities controlling
these places of 'entertainment that the humbler
performers are adequately paid, and are not
condemned in their private life to the wretched
penury which is in singular aud poignant
contrast with tho show and splendour of the
MUSIC-HALL STKIKE.
j FIGHTING CHALLENGE BY THE
PliOPhlETi.RS.
VARIETY ARTISTS’ VIEWS.
It is to be a tight to the bitter end.
That is the result of the meeting of the
London music-hall proprietors held yes-
terday afternoon.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the London Entertainment
Protection Association, and after an hour
and a half's deliberation in private the
following statement was issued : —
“ At a representative meeting of the
Lcndon Entertainment Protection Asso-
ciation, which has now been extended to
include provincial members, held at
Durham House, Strand, this afternoon,
the following resolution was unanimously
passed : —
” ; That every member of this associatvvi
pledges himself to support the act-on
taken in resisting the attack made upon
certain members by the National
Alliance, the same support to be given
to anj r other members of this association
who may be called upon to resist similar
attack.’ ”
In effect the resolution means that the
proprietors are prepared for battle, and
it is a fighting challenge.
The Variety Artistes’ Federation yester-
day afternoon discussed a suggestion of
picketing the Moss-Stoll Empires through-
out. the country. This policy will have to
be approved by the alliance before it is
operative.
Further developments yesterday were
an application at Bow-street for a sum-
moms and another to the Attorney-General
for permission to institute proceedings
under the Secret Commissions Act.
QUARREL EXPLAINED.
The dispute arose through the refusal
of the managers to sign a document. agree-
ing that the following conditions ehoula
prevail in music-h-alk? -

MR, HARRY TATE’S VIEWS. I
/-Mr. Harry Tate, the well-known mimic, i
decidedly aggressive views iu con- ji
neriho with the music-hall strike. Mr.;
Tvtc is at present one of the principal'
comedians in the Royal Court Theatre pan-!
tonijmo; Liverpool, aud last night, in dis- j
cussing the situation with the Liverpool;*
representative of the ''Daily Mail/’ hejj
signified his emphatic acquiescence in the !
procedure the Variety Artistes’ Asso- j
citian had adopted.
“It is said,” he remarked. “that by
combining with the members of the |
orchestra and the scene shifters we are '
lowering oureelves, but it is a question ci !
the interests of the whole body of music- j-
hall stage employees. Without the !
orchestra the artiste might as well cancel |
his contracts. The re»sult of this fight will [
he that we shall get contracts in which
there is some common-sense.. As contracts
are phrased at present w T e are at the mercy |
of the managers if we sign them. If we }
do not we are thrown out of work.”
“One of the first members of the Variety j;
! Artists’ Federation was Mr. Malcolm Scott, j
i who ha6 earned a reputation on the music- j;
I hall stage as an extremely clever pa.tteirer. j
' He is also engaged at present in pantomime f
I in Liverpool. If anything his views were 1
j even more decided : “l thoroughly agree ;
I with the procedure *-hat h’.s been adopted.
| in London,” he said. “ There has been a j
: great outcry about the enormous salaries j
we music-hall people got. W* do not da- j
j maud those big salaries. They a.re offered j
I to us, and so long a* contracts have an i
; equitable basis we would not dream of
| evading them. There is at present no |
equity in thus contracts, and that is the j
reason why we are up in arms against ]
them.

-j- Sheriff Scott Monoriuff — an app-Iicat.ion to in-
ij terdiot a- s»aio of roundabouts, witli boiler
j| and engine,* oaravans, shooting ramgets &o.,
advertised for twelve o’clock to-day. was pre-
j aentod, at the instance of Mrs Hobday, hobby .

: The defender, George Wallace, carriage ;

that M Hobday had sent , him, while a-t Ar-
drossaj), a van to repair, and that Hobday
jihad not paid him.
I Mr R. Marshall, writer, who appeared for
•Mrs Hobdtay, stated that the was the daugh :

i had also been, a diowman. He submitted ;

pointed out a want of specification and a I
* leged irregularities in the poinding. “A w ag-

I ^enera .1 a tern.. ,
| The Sheriff humourously inquired if Mrs
MIobday would form part of t hcWxi.ntenta. t

Mr Littlejohn, for defender, *. maintained ;

mixed w ith those of her husband.
The- Sheriff held that primia. facie evidence
had 'been submitted instructing’ the pursuer’s
title, and granted interim interdict.
NO EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF
PHRENOLOGY.
Mr Charles Marriott, author of “The
Column,” writes in the “Daily Graphic :
During certain years I took photographs of
several thousand certified lunatics. Except
in the cases of a few idiots and imbeciles?—
who illustra ted the probability ’that the fro'n-
t.al region is concerned with the more purely
intellectual processes— I observed nothing
whatever in support, of phrenology, but a
good deal to the reverse. There are, it, is
true, striking differences between tho looks
of the sane and the insane, but they are made
■ up of infinitesimal details of facial expres-
sion. attitude, gesture, &c., and. I suspect, arc
to a certain degree the result not of char-
acter but of environment.
j Negotiations for the rc-opening of the
• London Lyceum Theatre are said to be pro-
■ dressing satisfactorily between the proprietors p
j and the Twentieth Century Drama Syndicate,
[whose directors are Messrs H. and A. Srnit.n,
1 E Da^nall, Norman J. Norman, \v. Hollis,
and Arthur Shirley. Should the Syndicate
be accepted as tenants the historic house m

•• UNPOPULAR SONGS ! ”
, Why arc Scotch comic songs pot as popular
as they should be? Somehow, w© can never!
©ompero with our friend* across the border.
Bear in nuaxi I am spcudiing of musio-hali
I songs.
Ln the winier months many spend an even- J
} ing or two in some place of amuisemont; and [
when wo see a Scotch C'.rmcdian on tho bill |.
with this notice beneath his name — u With all [
‘ new sing’s and catchy chorus©©” — we natur l
ally expect to find something that is new h
and catchy, something that we can whistle |
on# our way going home, and hum at our f
work.
Gan ure honestly e3y we got what wo er- |
pcct in the matter ? .Certainly cot; and |-
the fault is in tho “ 10 ^^/’ “Glasgow
song writers can supply hotter words than j
wo can go’, anywhere,” is the opinion of the
majority of our English comedians, “ but J
where do they get the fearful tunes? Wo 1
don’t care a jot (except in exceptional cases; j
for tho words of a 6ong-4jwhat we want is
a catchy melody, something that will get its S
way into people's heads,. end remain there.” j
Now, I may make a £#w-foes, or hart a few
people's feelings — but 4 ! boldly make this
assertion— and I am speaking from experi-
ence, I know of no composer in Glasgow j
who can, in the least, compete with oiir Eng-
lish cousins. ^ < h
There is a fortune awaiting the one who
can write catchy music-hall melodies in L
Scotland. There i3 not a music publisher j
in Scotland willing t-o take the risk of putting j
on the market the musio of the songs (and t
yords, of course) that are being sung by our •'
leading Scotch comedians. I think - the
* grumble 7 of Bill the Glasgow song writers
is — “ Where can we End a composer? ”

THE BRITANNIA.
At- the Trongate establiehinent this week j
another capital variety programme is sub j
mitted, and large audiences ruled yester-
day. Miss Katie Moore is a sprightly come- i
dienne, who sings with much acceptance
• couple of catchy songs. Capita presents
6 remarkably clever human marionette en-
tertainment that finds favour. De Ora, in j
a thrilling trapaze act, provides a good j
turn. Little Venus sings charmingly, and <
secures a good reception. The Chrono-
phone is still proving an attractive feature
of the Britannia programme. The enter-
tainment is concluded with the animated
pictures, and this week’s subject, entitled
'•The Drunken Mattress,” a French pic-
ture, keeps the audience- rocking with
laughter, and it is undoubtedly one of the
most side-splitting pictures ever seen in
the city. The carnival in the Panopticon
continues to attract the crowds.
FORWARD,
JANUARY 2f*>, 1907.
The Platonoscope is still drawing large
j crowds to the Britannia Theatre in Glas-
I gow. The management are to be con-
gratulated on their enterprise.

! East night saw an extension of the dispute
| which has for some time existed between the
Variety Artistes’ {Federation and Mr Walter
Gibbons, who controls half a dozen music-
halls iji the suburbs of London. The matter
has been taken up by the National Alliance,
comprising the Musicians’ and Stage Opera-
tives’ Unions and tho Variety Artiste^’
Federation, and in consequence of the
Alliance Committee ’ 3 action in sanctioning
the withdrawal of various artistes from the
arrangements they had made with certain
music-hall proprietors, half tho performances
at some London halls last night had to be
entirely abandoned, while in other cases the j
j programme was of a scratch character.
At the Tivoli, one of the principal variety
theatres in the Metropolis, the audience had
assembled, but had to be dismissed, the
artistes almost generally absenting themselves
in response to the bidding of the Alliance.
The acting manager made a statement, in the
course of which he said there was no real
reason for the course the Alliance had taken.

A CHOIR OF BIRDS.
At the Chapel of St. Peter in Florence
there is a choir of birds, the only one of its
kind in existence. The birds— 300 in num-
ber— are all in separate cages, which are ar-
ranged in rows on both sides of the altar.
The leader is a girl who has had the birds
under her personal training for over two
years. The whole of the musical part of
the service is most exquisitely rendered by
them. The leader starts each hymn by '
whistling the first few notes, and then the
! birds take it up, in obedience to the move-
of theii instructor’s hand, /

| Passing of “Wee Macgreegor."
“Wee Macgrccgor ” died the other even-
| ing after ailing for two clays.
| His loss will bo much felt by patrons of |
j the Glasgow Zoo, where his interesting if '
j ugly rountenamoe has delighted the public i
j for the past four years. He was a very fine
specimen of the chimpanzee, and it will be a i
difficult and expensive matter to secure j
another, for he was the only one of his kind !
in the Zoo.
The doctor in attendance believes death
was due to a bronchial trouble. It is not
improbable that a “ pcet-mortem ” may be
1 held on the body. Considering ho lived in
this climate, his life was a long one.
He was much attached to his keeper, Mr.
Gardner, who feels his decease almost as
if lie were a human being.
His name, “ Wee Maogreegor,’* is original,
j It was not inspired by the character in the
; series of pen sketches.

Charles O’Connor, who resides at 109 Broad
Street, Mile- End* , Glasgow, and who is well-
known throughout the city for his sword
swallowing exhibitions, met with a serious
accident on Saturday evening.
During one of his performances at a street
corner in the East End of the city one of
the spectators knocked against him while
he was in the act of swallowing a sword.
O’Connor stumbled, and the sword inflicted a
severe internal wound. He was removed in I
an ambulance wagon to the Royal Infirmary,
where he was detained for treatment as his
condition was considered serious.

“STARS” AND SALARIES.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
London, Thureday.— Music-hall managers
continue to shed tears of grief on their dia- j
mond studs and say they are ruined by the |
vast salaries that have to be paid, and come- !
dians aud comediennes with motors con- |
tinue to say that music hall managers do not
pay a sufficiently large amount of money. •
In other words, the music hall strike is not
yet over, nor is the end in sight. Last night
no fewer than fourteen hails were affected, i
; among them the Tivoli, the Oxford, and the
1 Canterbury, three important houses; but'
while fourteen houses were affected, a show !
— of a jrind — was given at each. It was the
; opportunity for the great unknown, and in-
: cmontally a* proof that the great unknown
; is likely to remain in that condition. The
j Queer Strike, I may add, fails to interest
! the public, who indicate their apathy by
omitting to go to the halls. None of the *
houses last night had a large audience, the
usual patrons staying away because they
' had doubt as to whether or not their fav-
I ourite6 would appear.
! At the Oxford, however, Mrs Brown Potter
did her “turn.” A letter has been sent to
her by the Strikers’ Union explaining the
pusition, and asking her not to assist the
opposition.
.a noteworthy feature of the situation is j
that large contributions have been made to
the strikers’ fund by costly stars, to whom
the attitude of the managers is of no conse-
quence whatever.
As a matter of fact, it is a strike on behalf
of the small people, the stage hands, the
i chea- performers, and the men who play f
; fiddles.
! I quoted yesterday the statement of the
manager of the Tivoli, that his house paid
1 certain performers larger incomes than w^ere
paid to Cabinet Ministers, and to-day the
chairman of the firm controlling that house |
enters into details. He mentions one man j
who gets £160 a week, another who has £150,
a lady who has £110, and several men whose
remuneration is only from £80 to £40 a
week. The chairman* says that the lowest
salary paid to an artist at the Tivoli is £8
a week.

BOTH SIDES DETERMINED.
One letter on either side was all that
passed, but there was enough excitement
over these to satisfy the keenest, and both
parties are determined to fight it put. On
one side is the alliance — representing the
music-hall artists, the members of the
Society of Amalgamated Musicians, and the
stage hands. On the other — at present—
are the eight halls controlled by Mr.
Payne, namely, the Tivoli, Oxford* Canter-
bury, Paragon, Euston, the South London,
the Walthamstow Palace, and the East
Ham Palace, representing a capital of
about a million sterling, and the six halls
managed by Mr. Walter Gibbons (Mr.
Payne's son-in-law), from ^which the
artists were brought out on Monday,
evening.
At the offices of the Variety Artists*
Federation (one of the three organisations
included in the alliance) in Wellington-
street, crowds of members came and went
all day, and- when Mr. Harry Mountford,
chairman of the Executive Committee of
the alliance, made it known that eight .
more halls were added to the previous,
night’s list, there was no one there to
object. Everyone seemed prepared to takotojl
some part in the active proceedings by
delivering handbills at night outside the
halls from which the members were called*
or by picket duty.

managers and the artists has now become
merged in the simple demand that the

The strike of music-hall performers is [
remarkable because this is the first time \
any body of people called “ artists % have f
refused to admit that they are- on a £3

Mr. A. E. Pickard, the proprietor of the*
Britannia Panopticon, in Trongate, has I
secured a novelty which is entitled the I
Chronophone, and it is claimed that its I
[ introduction is the first in Scotland. The J
L Chronophone is worked by electricity, T
and is an ingenious combination of the H
Gramaphone with the Cinematograph, the • ;
| movements of the one synchronising with [S
those of the other. By the' aid of the I
Cinematograph, fae-simile representations H
of great artistes (Music Hall or Theatrical ^
as the ease may be) are thrown on the H
screen, while simultaneously the Grapua- B
phone reproduces their voices. The move- B
ments of the machines are so minutely ■
adjusted that they act in perfect unison. H
The Chronophone is to f find a permanent I
place in the daily programme at th£ Brit- B

On Sunday night the first meeting of tho S
National Alliance^ of the Y arietv Artistes \
.1 Federation., the -A nual gamated Musicians j
j Union, and the National Association of |
Theatrical Employees was held.
: At six o’clock last night the order to strike '

.j were stopped, the audiences were dismissed, t
j and entrance money was repaid in b.o i
/J following music halls: —

"j| At the Holbom Empire a- hasty" effort v as j
j made to obtain deputy turns, and v a pro- J
| gramme was begun. The orchestra was re-

“I’m a shareholder, and am losing by it,”
M said Mr. Aleo Hurley at the Grand,

fo rimers not to appear, and himself refused
to do so.
I At the Islington Empire the manager ex-
vhijj pressed the confident hop© that to-day he
j should bo able to secure even a better com-
paniy than that which failed him last night.
"M There was not the slightest sign of disorder
I] as tho audience left.
Of the Ealing audience, only a dozen ac-
.- -| cepted their money back, the rest taking
: I tickets for another night.
The cause of the strike was the demand by
. the National Alliance yesterday that Mr.

the six variety theatres, thould sign their
“ charter.* 5 which contains the conditions

MUSIC-HALL STRIKE.
Our Croydon Correspondent telegraphs: Owing
"to a misunderstanding with Mr. Walter Gibbons,
there was a strike by the band at the opening of , ...
the Croydon Empire Music Uall last evening, and
the management returned to the audience the
money paid for admission. There appears to be a
combined movement by the National Alliance;
Variety Artists' Association, the Amalgamated
Musical Onion, and the National Association of I -
Theatrical Employes, who complain that certain J
promised concessions have not been made.
The Central News is informed by the secretary of j
the Variety Artists’ Federation that all Mr. Walter K
Gibbons’s music-halls were closed last night, the .
music-hail artists, the musicians, and the stage |
employes having been called out.

The strike in the London mnsio halls still
prevails and is spreading.
The dispute arose through the refusal of
the managers to sign a docutneut agreeing
that the following conditions should prevail
Ln musio halls: —
Qnc-twclfth salary for matinees ai all
two-ehows-a-night halls.
One-seventh salary for all matinee©, save
one, at omo-show halls.
Board of arbitration, to settle disputes.
Specified form of contract only to be
used.
Mind mum wage for musicians in London,
36s per week. Full salary for matinees in
one-show halls; half salary in two-shows
houses.
Minimum pay for gasmen and other stage
workmen, 24s per week of five days. Car-
penters lOJfd per hour for 10-hours day.
Only Union musicians, carpenters, scene-
shifters and other stage workmen shall be
employed.
A meeting of the London Entertainment
Protection Association, a body composed
principally of those interested actively in
the management of the Metropolitan music
halls, was held yesterday afternoon.
The meeting was private, but at the close
of over an hour’s deliberation it was pro-
nounced that the following resolution had
3 been passed unanimously by a representative
4 attendance: —
“ That every member of this Association
i pledges himself to support the action taken
j in resisting the attack made upon certain
J members by the National Alliance, the earn©
I support to h# given to any other members
of thtie Association who may be called
t upon to resist similar attacks.”
It was also announced that the Association
has now been ox bonded to include provincial
Y: members.
“AN ACT OF WAR.”
After the decision of tho managers’ meet-
(«ing became known to Mr. J. O’Gorman,
0 chairman of tho Artistes’ Federation, one of 1
| the three sections of the Alliance, ho said 1
| to a “Record and Mail” representative; — |9
;< “ Wo do not yet know tho nature of the
‘ support ’ to be accorded to Messrs. Gibbons '
1 and Payne. If, however, it takes the shape Li
"j of lending artistes who are under contracts |;;i
to appear at unaffected halls wo shall take [A
jj tho support as an act of war, and the strike p
J will become general. We have no wish to L.
. extend the area of the strike, and if other r'
managers become involved it will be their
own fault.”
At least 40 writs have been issued by
managers against the musichall artistes for
'alleged breach of oontract.
A notable feature of the strike is the
: The Music Hall War.
j) The music-hall strike has taken the place
j of the so-called “new theology ” as the topic
ij of the hour with Londoners. The subject is
::j more congenial, for probably there are, on
• j a low estimate, a thousand people in London
I who are interested in such a subject for one
j who vexes himself with theological problems.
There are divergent opinions as to the pro-
j bable issue of this struggle, but, from what
! I hear, I should say that the management
of the halls concerned are bound to win. I
; am told that Loudon music-hall agents are
V| being overwhelmed with applications from
! artistes in the provinces, who are likely to
fij get at this junoture “ the chance of a life-
U time ” to realise their ambitions and capture
/J the fickle pleasure-loving London public.

THE BRITANNIA.
Y
A delightful programme is rubmitted at
the Britannia this week D'Argan and
Pens are a couple who submit a clever
illusionist act that is smartly performed,
and causes great merriment. Elsie Russell,
comedienne, sings and dances in a pleasing
way, and her contributions meet with hearty
' acceptance. Sisters La Blinde, male im-
personators, futniah a good "nnn,' J and
their top-boot dance is smartly executed,
and merits the applause bestowed. Lew
: I.ux an eccentric comedian, creates loud
laughter with his eccentricities. Rex and
Rex patter comedians, have amusing cross
talk’ The chronophone remains a feature
of the bill, and the entertainment concludes
with an interesting series of animated pic-
tures* . ,
At the American Museum, a few doors
. east of the Britannia, there is at present
being exhibited an American lady who
turns the scale at over 40 stones-Scwt.
She is one of the most remarkable sights
ever seen in the city, and yesterday large
crowds visited the museum.

MUSIC-HALL ARTISTS’
GRIEVANCES.
MUSIC-HALL STRIKE.
London, Tuesday. — Great activity prevails
this morning at £he head office of the V aricty
Artistes’ Federation. Knots of artistes may
be seen engaged in animated conversation and
offering congratulations on tho success of last
night’s strike.
in reply to a Central News representative,
an official of the federation stated that no com-
munication had been received from the alleged
delinquent managers of the several music-halls
affected bv the strike last night with a view to
a settlement of the dispute.
PERFORMANCE PREVENTED.
There was a sudden ending to tho perform- .
ance at the Holborn Empire Theatre, London, .
last night, the crowd that had gathered for the j
second performance having to be turned away, j
as the management, owing to a dispute with
the artists, were unable to present a pro-
gramme. Most of the company at tho theatre
belong to the recently-formed Music-Hall
Artists’ Federation.
Still Another Musical Prod1o;Y>- A fftw j
j use has, according to the “Musical *7 l cnirnal,’’ j
: been discovered for tho phonidgianfpih. A
! young Lady in Australia, believing she had a ;
! good vaioCj was anxious to come to London ;
j to oorapete for a scholarship. The infipira- ;
1 tion seized her to sing into a phonograph. ;
land send the record to a well-
| known teacher of ^Shginig over here, l
. asking his advice. Bhc did so. and,
« as tlhe result of the prof«f>r’6 favourable ver-
1 diet, the lady came to hbis country, and was
one of the two sucoesdfitl candidates out of
, 190 competitors. Oongmtu lotions to the lady,
ofessor — -and
- rt „ w ___ ... pro-
per order when tho attendants left for (he j
night. The ro- was a meeting in the building !
on Sunday, but* again all was secure when f
tho place was .locked up. But when the |i
keeper arrived on Monday morning the d’is- !
coverv was made that burglars had bfeen j
there and got away after a most successful [
visitation.
•So far, the matter is centred in mystery — i
though one who sees the wrecked safe has [
:j no hesitation in concluding that the burglars |
1X1 ji carried out a thoroughly expert job. The :
uo j face of the safe had been drilled and bashed j
i on the top and then wrenched open, the £300 i
r\ j odds taken away, and no trace left of the ;
pvi v i»it beyond the battered safe. Nothing else I
had been touched, the only other evidence *
of depredation being the broken lock of the
door which had been forced.
How an entrance to the building was
j gained is not known. It might bo suggested
j that the burglars had attended the meeting
1 and then remained concealed, but the theatre
I pcoplo do not entertain this theory. The
J manager, Mr. Lloyd, answering our represen-
I tative,' said that a thorough search had been
j made before the place was closed.
The more likely explanation is that by
means of false keys the door loading from
Renfrew .Street to the gallery had been
j forced, and then the entire theatre traversed,
| the manager's room being at the opposite ,
side of the hall.
Mr. Lloyd expressed the opinion that
the burglars must have had the j
establishment under closer' observation. The j
j manager further stated that there is nothing 1
j R> ftij^rgejt that anyone employed in the
j Pav’il ion; pr-'foncernod in the affair. "
E' Meantime the police of tho Northern
j dd strict? 1 .are making inquiries* but so far!
j no arrests have been made.
“ The Fighting 1 Parson ” '
Successful.
Lord Ardwall gave judgment in ,an action
i of furthcoming at the' instance of L’gggat Bros.,
printers, Glasgow, against Moss Empire (Ltd.),
, as arrestees, and George -Gray, known in
music-hall circles as ** Tho Fighting Parson,’’
; as principal debtor.
In tho year 1905, Mr Gray, to oblige one
; whom he considered a friend, guaranteed
1 the payment of the printing account of the
“Events” Publishing and Advertising Qonn
pany. Gray having refused to make pay/nentS*
under his guarantee, the pursuers raised an^
action ^against him in this Court for payment
of £Tc5, in which they obtained decree against
him in absence, and upon that* decree they
sought now to make effectual certain arrest- ,
ments which were used on the dependence of
that action. The defender Gray being a domi-
ciled ^Englishman,, the .pursuers attempted to
found jurisdiction against him by usibg at 4.20
p.m. on Thursday. 14th June, 1906. arrestments
against him in the hands of Moss Empire*
(Ltd.), and tho decision in this case turned on
the question whether or not these arrestments
attached funds belonging to Gray in
j the hands .of Moss Empires. During
the week ending 26th June fast Gray was £ul-
; filling an engagement with Moss Empires in
J Glasgow. He was aware that proceedings
i v ere to be taken aga inst him. and had tele-
i graphed to Moss Empires’ central offices in
| London asking that his payment, for the week
should be sent, to him at once. He said that -j.b
i was sent in a letter dated 13th June, 1906, to ;
j the manager of the company iri Glasgow b Wa
cheque in his favour, that ' he received tho,,,
Lcheque on the morning of Thursday, 14th June, *
Hsnd that before 2.30 p.m. the same day he
endorsed the cheque, and handed it over for
an onerous consideration to a creditor, who-sub
sequently cashed it. The pursuers on the other
hand said that the cheque was not sent from
London till the 14th June, and did not arrive
in Glasgow till the morning of the 15th, and
that the defender Gray got possession of it
then The main issue, in fact, therefor© came
to be, did that cheque reach Glasgow on the*
morning of Thursday, the 14th, or on tho
rr.crning of Friday, the 15th June.
Lord Ardwall assoilzied the defenders from?
the conclusions of the summons, and found the
defender Gray entitled to expenses against th<%
pursuers. His Lordship was of opinion that
the documentary evidence, which was not dis-
placed bv tho oral evidence in tho case, was
entirely in favour of the cheque having beer*
sent off on the 13th and received in Glasgow oa
the morning of tho 14th of June. Ho was ac-
cordingly of opinion that the arrestments on the
afternoon of 14th June to found jurisdiction in
f the action in which decree was obtained against
| George Gray on 10th July, 1906. did not attach
i any funds duo or belonging to George Gray.
It followed that jurisdiction was not effectually?
constituted against him, that the decree
inept, and that the arrestments used, and which
! were libelled in tho summons, were also inept*

“ STARS ” ON STRIKE.
Music-Halls Closed.
LONDON’S PREDICAMENT.
The dispute which has for porno time existed
between Iho Variety Artistes’ Federation and
Mr Walter Gibbons, who controls half a dozen
London suburban music-halls was considerably
extended yesterday. The trouble, which was
originally concerned with questions of extra
matinees*, commissions to managers, etc., has
been taken uj> by the National Alliance, com-
posing the Musicians' and Stage Operatives’
Unions, and the Variety Artistes' Federation,
and in consequence of the Alliance Committee s
action in sanctioning the withdrawal of various
artistes from the arrangements they have made
vfith certain music-hall proprietors, half the
performances at some of the London halls last
night had to bo entirely abandoned, while in
other cases the programme was of a scratch
character. At the Tivoli, one of the principal
variety theatres in the Metropolis, the audience
had assembled,, but had to bo dismissed, the
artistes almost' generally absenting themselves '
in' response to the bidding of the Alliance. I
Tile acting-manager made a statement, in the
course of which ho said there ivas no real
reason for the course the Alliance had taken,
for nearly the whole of the staff and stage
hands had boon employed for a great num-. er
of years without alleging any fliS^atisfactioh ; i
whilst the artistes’ salaries were the largest ii.
the world, many of them being equal to, and in
some cases exceeding, those of Cabinet Minis-'
•tors. They could but pity the many misguided
artistes and others who were being thrown our,,
of employment, perhaps permanently, and
hoped that wiser cqunsels would prevail. The
audience then filed out,, their money being re-
turned to them.
At the South London Palace only one of the.
usual two nightly performances was given.
At the Canterbury the same course was
adopted as at the Tivoli, while the public out-
side tho East Xlam Empire and some other
suburban houses were informed that there
would be no performances.
!‘Sbmo correspondence has taken place between
th>* officials of the Alliance and Mr Gadney
Payne, managing director of the syndicate run-
ning the Tivoli, Oxford, Paragon, and other
halls, with regard .to the dispute. The Alliance
naked Mr Payne to sign a charter, waich would
have the effect among other matters of practi-
cally abolishing tho “ barring " clause, which
prevents artistes engaged at a hail from accept-
ing any other engagement, within a certain
radius. Mr Payne declined to sign this docu-
ment and last night’s development was ope of
the consequences of his action. Mr Payne, in
his iW>ly, stated that the whole matter is to be
considered by the Entortainmoers’ Protection
Association in order, if possible, to arrive at a
basis for mutual arrangement.
At the headquarters of the Variety Artistes'
Federation r late last night it was ascertained
that the instructions to withdraw from perform-
ances had been very generally followed by
members of the Federation. A largo number
of pickets were sent, out ^o seq that these in-
structions were carried out, and in some in-
stance^ o little friction arose. Hut no cases of
perso al violence were reported.
Both Sides Still Determined. j music-hall strikers .
A music-hall strike, even upon a limited
scale, would be a novelty. A strike upon
the scale of that, which last night wiped out
London, Wednesday. — There is no sign this
morning of the friction between the music-hall
proprietors of London and the artistes and
bands coming to a conclusion. Each side main-
tains a deter rdi nation not to give in, and at
present, there is- little prospect of a compromise.
Arrangemadi.‘ £ 0 * rapidly being made lo pro-
duce a programme for ■'those halls-- which- .last
night were obliged either to close entirely or to
pr^Wde their patrons with a “scratch” - 1
show.
Interviewed to-day by the Press Association
epi
representative, Mr Aduev Payne, who repre-
sents 12 music-halls, said they would not have
any difficulty in getting talent for all his halls
to .’open to-night. One of the turns promised
was Mrs Brown Potter, who would appear to-
night. at tho Tivoli. Mr Payne said he had no
objection to arbitration.
Asked as to the effect of, the friction, Mr
Payne s:*.id the effect ought to be, and I think
it will be, to bring the proprietors together.
The National Alliance are awaiting develop-
ment* and the result of tho managers’ meet-
ing this afternoon before, taking any fresh
steps on behalf of the t>or formers, musicians,
and stoge hands whom they represent. The
charter, which was handed yesterday to Mr
Adney Payne for signature, will be forwarded
to every music-hall manager in the kingdom in
tno course of a short time.
Miss Marie Lloyd's Sympathy.
half the performances at some London halls
is without precedent,- 4nd claims the dignity
of a labour war. Attfrlfe Tivoli the audience
had to be dismissed, the only entertainment
provided for them being a speech by the
manager, who stated that there was no real
reason for the course taken by the National
Alliance. One argument which he used,
that the salaries of many performers equal
and even exceed those paid to Cabinet
Ministers, can hardly carry much weight
with the artistes whose names appear in |
modest type on the bills, or with musicians
and stage operatives. All these classes of
employees are represented in the National
Alliance, which has called out its men; and,
judging by the result of its action, it appears
to be a Trade Union of considerable
authority, though its resources as a dis-'
tributor of strike pay may be limited. The
dispute, which is of a somewhat complicated
Several notable music-hall artistes have I character, involves such questions as extra
joined the Alliance, among them being Miss**
jdarie Lloyd, who, in an interview, said:
think tho cause is a good one. It is time we
ended a condition of slavery — that is what it is,
slavery. There is no other name by which you
van call it. I have taken up my position
because I think that it is perfectly just. I have
not, taken it up for myself, because, as Mr Stoll
says, ‘ My house is in order and my bread is
buttered. * We are fighting for the less fortun-
ate of our profession. If I could not go on the
stage to-morrow do you think that I would
knuckle under ? 1 could earn my living at
millinery, and I would sooner do that than give
way.”
- THE MUSIC-HALL STRIKE.
A Bow Street Application.
P.A. Telegram.— At Bow-streot, to-day, Mr
Harrv Mountiford, chairman of the Executive
Committee of the National Alliance, applied
to the magistrate for a summons against a
gentleman for inciting a person to threaten
him near the Holborn Empire.
Sir A. de Rufczen directed the applicant to
reduce the fact* to writing in tho form of
e,n information.
Mr Mount-ford did this later, but said he
did not wish to accentuate the present posi-
tion of affairs in the music-hall world, and he
bore no animus against the man who had
threatened him. He would be content if
the magistrate would send an oftjper to warn
the man and his employer.
Sir A. do Rutzen directed a waTranit-officor
to warn the persons whose mamee were
handed to him on paper.
payment for matinees, commissions to man-
agers, and the clause in agreements which
prevents performers engaged by one haU, or
group of halls, from appearing elsewhere
within a certain radius. Probably dissatis-
faction with the system of two performances
each evening, in so far as it entails more |
work for the same pay, in certain grades, l :
may have had something to do with the I
trouble. At all events, the issue is joined I
between the National Alliance of Musicians,
Stage Operatives, and Variety Artistes and I
the Entertainments Protection Association. f
If war should last for a week or two, London j
may come by the surprising knowledge that ^
regular attendance at music-halls is not j
absolutely essential to happiness; but the!
Entertainments Protection Association may \ ^
be expected to keep that danger irf view. |
Comedians who go on strike seem to be in t
a strong position. Their places cannot be .
filled as easily as if they were engineers or j -
labourers. In fact, the supply of comedians j
js so limited that even some of those in J
regular employment are not funny.
Benefit Performances to be Arranged.
Tho National Alliance is again mooting to-
day, and considering tho question of bolting
gigantic benefit performances in support of
the strikers.

‘MOVING DAY.’
Glasgow Music-Hall Burgled.
£530 STOLEN.
The Pavilion Music-Hall, situated in Ren-
field Street at the corner of Renfrew Street,
was the scene of a daring burglary which took
place during the week-end.
j The discovery that, the premises had been
i successfully raided was made on Monday morn-
ing. .t is stated that everything was in the
usual order on Saturday night after tho last j
performance. On Sunday another meeting '
was held, but tho premises were afterwards
searched and securely locked.
a Entrance, it is supposed, was gained at the
| gallery door in Renfrew Street. A consider-
jj able portion of the drawings for tho week were |
deposited in a lockfast safe in the manager’s
room at the side of the ball opposite the gallery
door. It would appear that the burglars pro-
ceeded thence, forced the safe open, and ex-
tracted about £300, with which they decamped.
Beyond the self-evident signs which the safe
bore there was little or no trace of the secret
visit.
The nature of the burglary; however could
not be mistaken for tho efforts of a novice-
mdeeu'.'iiho police are confident that they have i
recognised the “work." ' p
No arrests have yet been made, but im-
portant developments are expected to result
from the inquiries which are at present being
carried out. & I

THE MUSIC-HALL STRIKE.
“Scratch” Companies.
LAST NIGHT'S PERFORMANCES.
At all the music-halls affected by the strike
performances were given by scratch companies
last evening. In some cases there were rather
frequent delays, but the audiences, which might
he considered fair in size, good-humouredly put
up with tho failings in the programme. A
greater difficulty was found in getting
orchestras than in getting artistes, the band in
some cases mustering only three.
Greatest interest last night centred in the
Tivoli, which was strongly picketed, and tho
stage door was the scene of many attempts at
“peaceful persuasion.” Tho orchestra con-
sisted of four members. After a lime-light,
turn there was some delay and uncertainty of
what was going to turn up during the night,
printed programmes being of no use, the stage
manager Q.nnouncing the “turns.” Mrs Brown
Potter provided the chief attraction, and the
Princess Do Broglie had a cordial, reception.
It was expected that Miss ('ami lie Clifford
would appear, but she was met as she was
entering the theatre and peacefully persuaded
not to go further.
As showing the opportunities that were mean-
time offered to artistes willing to accept en-
gagements, it may bo stated that one lady
appeared at no fewer than eight different
theatres last, night. Only on one occasion has
this record been equalled, and then by a male
performer.
SALARIES OF THE “STARS.”
£8000 a Year for Arthur
Roberts.
There* was no sign yesterday of the fricton
between the music-hall proprietors of London
and the artistes and bands coming to a conclu-
sion. Each side maintains a determination not
to give in, and at present there is little pros-
pect of a compromise. Arrangements are
rapidly, being made to produce a programme
for those halls which were previonsly obliged
either to close entirely or to provide their
patrons with “ scratch,--* shows.
Interviewed yesterday, Mr A. Payne, who
represents 12 music-halls, gave the following
figures showing the salaries at which some of
the artistes who now refuse to appear had been
engaged by him for this week : —
Arthur Roberts (two houses), £ 160 .
Marie Lloyd (two houses). £115.
Alec Hurley (one appearance nightly) £85.
Little Tich (for two snows). £150.
Paul Martinetti and his company. £110.
Joo Elvin and Co. (two halls). £175.
Clark and Hamilton. £65.
It, is. of course, understood that the stars
have no complaints to make. They have come
out to help their poorer brother professionals.
Mr Frank Gerald, the secretary of the
Variety Artistes' Federation, stated that the
strike fund available for fighting this contest
amounteiPto £40,000. As soon as the alliance
got, information that any other manager in-
terfered to assist Mr Gibbons at this juncture
they would treat him in the same way as they
h%d treated Payne.
A Lady Artiste's fteeord.
Last evening Miss Evelyn Taylor, the lady
I artiste who performs as “the girl with a style
of her own.” achieved a record. She appeared |
I at tho Duchess Theatre. Balham, at 7 o'clock ;
I tho Grand, Olapham, 7.20: the Oxford. 8.10;
Empire. Holborn, 8.30; Tivoli. 8.55; Empire,!
Holborn, again. 9.30; Grand, Clapham. 10.3 ; I
and tho Duchess, Balham, 10.45. Only on one I
occasion has this record been equalled, but by a |
male performer. Mr Sam Mayo.
Stoli Halls Involved.
Mr Harry Mountford announced to a mass!
meeting of music-hall artistes at the Bedford I
Head Hotel lirst evening that Mr Oswald Stoll |
had gone into partnership with Mr Gibbonsl
and Mr Adnoy Payne, and the fight will now P
be carried on against the Stoll halls. I
The secretary of tho Moss Empires (Limited)
positively denied last night that Mr Stoll in-
tended to supply artistes to the Tivoli or any |
other music-nali.
The best-known strikers are Whit Cunhffo,
Mario Llovd, Alee Hurley. Arthur Roberts,
Nellie Wallace Datas, Gus Elen, Joe Elvin,
and Lottie Collins.
The only music at Ealing and Islington was
a piano At Clapham th e conductor played the
violin, and had one companion at tho piano.
At Islington there was difficulty in shifting the
scenes.
Mr Frank Gerald, secretary of the Variety
Artistes’ Federation, told an Evening
Standard ” representative vesterday afternoon
that the artistes were going to open five or six
shows ■' of their own next week.
EVENING CITIZEN, Ti-n^gSDAV,JAxr ary 24. 1607.
MUSIC-HALL WAR.
CAUSES THAT LED TO IT.
How harshly this operated may easily be J
seen. Perhaps an artiste had just finished f
part of a contract which had pat his market j
value up two-fold. He then found that the
only people who could pay him his price
owned halls at which he was forbidden to
appear. He was forced either to go into
tho provinces or to go back to his old em-
ployers, who, of course, were not slow to
take advantage of the situation. .
This then is the real setting of the music-
hall strike; the wages of carpenters,
musicians, and scene -shifters is mero oorro- J
borative detail.
But the artistes have gone farther then
necessary. In drawing up the terms on
which they should be engaged, presenting
thorn pistol-wise at the heads of the mana-
ger?. and insisting that no one should be
employed who does not belong to their
union.
What is the music-hall strike about?
That (says last might’s London “Evening
News”) is the question being asked on every
hand in London to-day.
The sudden spectacle of Marie Lloyd, Arthur
Roberts, Little Tjchy^d all the 'favourites
of the footlfehjis, addressing strike (meetings
and picketing music 'halls has tickled the
fancy of everyone, but an explanation of the
seeming joke is eagerly awaited.
The origin of the quarrel is to be sought
in two comparatively modern develop-
ments : —
(1) The music-hall contract.
(2) The (music-hall .syndicate.
In point of time the contract came first.
j In the late ’80’e and early in the '90’s the
. theory and practice .of the music-hall oon-
3 ■ fcr ® ct ^ere developed by Mr H. J. Didoott,
j the mvBi(X r u e «g<!S*wE?S?S? Pidduck. Tho Gaieties, Miss Ethel Walker,
! ran a bufinoss. lam Clare.
How it works is this:

Mr Payne declared the salaries had long
since reached the inflated stage. The con^g
flict might load to a stoppage of the' com L
petition lor favourites among proprietors ! 1
ond to a drawing together by them for
mutual protection.
, . The agent is ever
on che look-out for budding talent. It ia
his 'business to discover in the pit hand, or
the young clerk, who is just trying to get
a footing) in the “profession,” signs of
talent. He then puts forward this .proposi-
tion: “You •are getting 30b a. week; I will
pay you £4 a week for three y ‘era, and £5
4 a week for (another two yeat^J and you
1 undertake to work for me and jjo one else.”
"v 1 ® ^ 2 > ures of course, imaginary, but
probably represent the average foots. The
whole matter is a speculation, and depends
on the agent’s judgment. Out of twenty such
contracts he might, find himself landed with
fifteen hopeless duffers worth nothing/ three
"worth the money they were getting , 1 and
two out of whom he was making a profit of
£150 a week.
The music-hall managers looked upon the
1 contract business, and it was good. The
j difficulty in their way was that they could
1 not possibly run a man for veers a.t the same
hail — the public would get tired of him.
And they oould not book him elsewhere, be-
cause one music-hall manager mover trusts
another music-hall manager.
“Why not,” they then said, “get. over the
difficulty by running a number of -music halls
together?”
So the syndicates were born, and the agent
took te wearing less fur round his coat col-
lar.
The artiste had not done very well out of
tho agent; he did worse out of the syndi-
cates. The agent had whipped him "with
whips ; the syndicates he soon thought were
scorpions. Not content with the rigours of
the old contracts, they introduced what came
to be known as “'barring clauses.”
At first the clause simply prohibited the
artiste from appearing at any rival hall dur-
ing the term of his contract.. Then it got .
extended to a similar prohibition for a period at the Britannia this week. D’Argam and j

HARRY LAUDER INTERVIEWED.
IN SYMPATHY WITH STRIKERS.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)^
London, Friday. — Mr Lauder at New-
castle last night declared himself fully in
sympathy with the efforts of the Federa-
tion. Managers had published the “star”
salaries, ho said, but not the starvation
salaries. Contracts at the present day were
all in favour of the management, and were
worked by it to suit themselves, the artists
being • the very last considered. I am
not talking for myself, and I did not join
the Federation for myself, for I am com- j
fortably placed, added Mr Lauder, but I
am talking for my struggling brother and
sister artiste. I am quite willing to
adhere to anything the committee may
decide upon in London, and am whole-
heartedly with the Federation in its fight.

HARRY LAUDER’S VIEWS. |
Anottcj hall, too Bedford Palace of
Variety's, Camden Town, rur. by an inde-
pendent oorapanv, was last nigbt added to
the fourteen already affected by tSe London
music-hall strike, and wn^ compelled to
close and dismiss its audience.
Both sides remain adamant to pacific,
suggestions, a!^d the National Alliance still
insists on the Signing of its charter.
The strikers’ emergency fund now tot-aJs
over £5000. and the leading members of the
Labour Party hare signed an appeal to
all trade unionists cm their behalf.
The strikers gained a recruit _ last night
in the person of Battling. Nelson, tho
American prize-fighter, who is under com
xrajfc to appear this week at tho Kollborn
Erppire. ,. ,,
Nelson refused cither tp appeal- himself
oAJo allow the mewing pKJtnres depicting
his' fast fight with Joe Gan? at Goldfields, .
i Nevada, to bo shown. ...
# Nelson's oontt-aet is for; £200 a week. ,

1 Battling Nolscm is probably the most noted
; of \ni -lean ring champions. Ho ts Iwtoty-
■ | four years of age, and extremely beywb in |
estimated that over £80.000 has been
paid to sec him in his various contests.
Mr. Harry Lauder, in the course of a letter
to the London “ Daily Mail.’ says: .... ; .
“ I have read a list of salaries, ld-Vbioh.
my name is mentioned as one of the stars
getting £120 per week. I have never yet
received half of that sum. My salary for
working three halls, sometimes four perform-
ances a might, with tho Tivoli Syndicate
is £55. .
During 1 tho last five years at the Tivoli
Syndicate halls my weekly salary has been
often half what I mention for four halls a
night. , . .
“I don’t say I am not. hooked o play
for the Syndicate KaJ.'» at. £ 1 ’ 0 . but th»* dore
not haimon until 1909. Then I mav be dead.
“I have packed Mr. Stoll's houses for
him for veers at £9. £12, £15, £25, and £30

IMPORTANT PROPOSALS.
A BIG DEAL.
1 GLASGOW “ HOUSES ” AFFECTED.
Last night the following circular was
issued to the shareholders of Messrs How-
ard & Wyndham, Ltd. : —
“The directors of this company wish to
submit to the shareholders a proposal
which has been put before them by p?o- ^
posod purcha&era, represented by Mr R. O.
Buchanan, of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and
Mr Ernest Stevens, of London, who arc de-
sirous of forming a company to acquire
and carry on the business of. this company
and of certain other companies, and who
have asked the directors to give them an
option until May 15, 1907, to purchase the
whole undertaking and property of this
company at the price of £146,000. It is
estimated that this price would be suffi-
cient to ‘pay off the Debenture debt and
other liabilities of the company, to repay
the Preference shares at par, and to pay
to the Ordinary shareholders a 6 um of
about £6 5s per share.

LIKELY TO SPREAD.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
London, Thursday. — There is every indica
tion that the stage strike is about to spread, (
and that extensively, if no early settlement j
is, reached, for at yesterday’s meeting of
music-hall proprietors and managers no |
fewer than 38 London and provincial halls j
were added to those already in the associa- [
tion. The 38 include houses in Northamp- |
ton. Liverpool, Leeds, Brighton, Ports- j
mouth, Belfast, Dublin, and elsewhere, but I
no Scotch houses are mentioned. The per- I
’formers have great belief as to what they i
do in the provinces against the mana- !
gers, trades unionism being better organised
there than in London, and the performers,
believing that trades unionists throughout
the land will give them the support.
In London interest in the strike has to a

which a copy i© subjoined.”
The proposed transference was the sub- I
ject of much conversation and conjeoture
in commercial and other circles v in the
city to-day, and various and many were :
the suggestions offered as accounting for ,
the step. A gentleman, who has consider
able interest in Messrs Howard and Wynd- (
ham’s ventures was interviewed by a
■“News” representative this, forenoon.
Though very reticent on the matter gener-
ally, he admitted that the principal object
of the proposed transference was a desire ,
for the cenfraTTsation of theatrical manage-
ment in Scotland. If the sale was carried
out, the shareholders of Howard and Wynd-
ham would, of course, have an opportunity I
of aoquiring a like interest in the new com-
pany, but that opportunity might not |
necessarily be of a preferential nature.
Mr R. C. Buchanan, in the course of
conversation, said that tho arrangements,
so far as they had gone, had been mutually
arrived at. He agreed with the statement I
made in the previous paragraph, a© to tho
object of the transference.
As is well known, Messrs Howard &
Wyndham control the Theatre-Roval, the I
Royalty, and King’s Theatre, Glasgow; the
Lyceum and Theatre-Royal, Edinburgh,
and the Tyne Theatre, Newcastle. Mr R. 0.
Buchanan is the managing director of the

DRASTIC ACTION BY
MANAGERS.
CONFERENCE OF GLASGOW
ARTISTES.
As far as the public is concerned the con-
! dition. of affairs in tho war between tho
mu.-io-hall artistes and their employers re-
mains unchanged.
I Tho London Entertainments Protection
j Association, after a long meeting yesterday
afternoon, passed an important resolution
which means the intensifying of tho struggle
and its extension to tho whole country.
Tbo resolution confirmed tho decision conio
to at the last meeting, and pledged tho mem-
bers during tho strike to loyally assist each,
other by lending, when possible, artistes,
fjtago hands, and musicians.
It was agreed not to come to any arrange-
ments with the National Alliance or any of
tho leaders who have initiated the strike
without reference to tho general body or tho
exooutivo of tho Association.
It, was saoertaiiMXi that no loss than 88.
London N$md provincial halls wore added
j yesterday to the Association. Among tho
1 latest recruits are the managements of New
' Palace Theahne, Northampton ; the Liver-
pool, 3t, Helens, Leeds, Brighton, Birming-
ham, Portsmouth, and Belfast Hippodromes;
j the Tivoli. Dublin ; and tho Manchester .
| Variety Theatre.
{ Mr. Wifi. Johnson, one of tho joint .
‘ secretaries of the Alliance, on being informed
of the above facts, said tho war would now .

scale than had been possiblo in London.
It is said that at tbo bal’s controlled by
Mr. Payno and Mr. Gibbons there ha been,
notwithstanding the absence of the “ stare,”
hardly any difference in the dra 1 in.es, and -
the,.sa!aries list will, of course, be much less.
These proprietors are busily engaged in
booking for the future.
UNCERTAINTY.
i: In Glasgow the feeling of uncertainty con-
itimies to prevail among managers. Con-
trary to expectation in many quarters, thero
" were no local developments yesterday, and
‘the performances at all balls went off as
usual. .At the matinee at the Zoo-IIippo- N
dirctne there were two “ extra " turns, one
of which wes of special excellence. This
may or may not mean preparation for sud-
den vacancies.
To-morrow a Glasgow meeting of rho
Federation will be held at the “ Palace,”
Ren field Street — the local headquarters.
So far Trades Unions, as represented by i
tho Glasgow Trades Council, have taken no |
aotiom tho matter. Tho question, how- j
over, bean considered by tho officials, I
and it is likely that should no settlement J
bo arrived at soon the Council will inter-
fere. A number of -they^&rtiates may be
Interviewed in the course of the next few ^
days. |
Mr. Herbert Lloyd, the well-known artist,
denounces the extra matinees now in vogue, f
i for .which no payment is made, es a
| ,, «haar!e. ,!
Speaking to a representative of the “Daily
Record and Mail ” lnet evening, he stated I
that although ho personally had been very I
lucky in ••■ Hi had been required of him bv I
his employers, ho vet felt that many of tho I
artiste had distinct grievances, and he was I
quite willing to join the strikers if the I
Federation (of which ho is a member) asked |
him to do to.
He is of opinion that the strike is a wise I
step, and is confident that the artistes will I
in the long run get tho best of things. The I
•ays, “will stick on” to their I
present attitude for tho benefit of the less I
fortunate member* of their profession. 8
v l must not. forgoi. lo say, said Mr. Lloyd I
'hat T have always been vary |
sonorously treated myself.”
THE BARRING CLAUSE.
Li a letter to the ‘‘Daily Record and I
Mail” Mr. Harry Mountford eays:— -“Anl
ounce of fact is worth a ton of theory (from I
, any of the interested Trust managers on I
I the subjeot. T
“On Mopday night (January 28th), a. turn, I
a member of our Federation, had a contract!
to appe;"’ fct Crouch End, owned by Mr.f
Burney. lie reoeived an intimation from!
Mr. Oswald Stoll forbidding him to work!
thore because he held a oontract with Mr.B
Stoll to appear at the Empire, Holloway, to*
commence two years end a half from now. I
The consequence was that under the Barring*
Clause the gentleman, who is not a b>gf
‘turn,’ did not appear at, Mr. Burney’s hall.B
‘‘When you consider that, both Mr. Burney |
and Mr. Stoll are members of the London I
Entertainment Protection Association, who!
last week passed a resolution that they would!
unite together, etc., comment is superfluous.
J l l ca -plot, understand how any indepen-l
dent manager fails to see that wo aro fight- 1
ing his cause as well as our own a -gainst. I
these gigantic Trusts. The only hope of I
salvation for any independent manager is I
to, sign the ‘Charter.’ If wo fail to suo-T
coed in our endeavour, I am sure that in 12 1
months thero will not be a single indepen- 1
dent hall left in Great Britain.”

NEW TALEN'I IN THE
THE STAGE STRIKE.
We understand that there is a probability
that the effects of the present strike among
music-hall artistes in London, and which it
is recommended by the profession should
be carried into the provinces, may soon
reach Glasgow. It is stated to-day that the
local managers here are in reoeipt of
official communications, making stipulation*
for future engagements, and intimating
that if these are not accepted immediately,
the strike “will follow at once.”
POSITION IN GLASGOW.
REASSURING INTIMATION.
\ There is little chanoe of the strike of
music-hall artists spreading to the pro-
There were no indications in any Tyneside
pvusio-hal 1 yesterday that the strike of per*
formers and musician* would extend to the
North.
The entertainments proceeded in the ordi-
nary fashion, and managers seem to have
no doubt that contracts will not be broken.
Mr Harry Lauder, who i&aippearing in
pantomime at tho Tyne Theatre, Newcastle,
sends the following letter to the “North
Mail”:—
‘T have toad in connection with the music-
hall 6trike a ist of salaries alleged to be paid
to performers. My name is mentioned as one
of the ‘stare’ at a. salary of £120 per week.
This, I may say, Is a lie.
“I have never vet Received half of that sum.
My salary for working three halls, four per-
Vinces.
Griff, the well-known entertainer, was
about to take the chair at a meeting of the
profession in the Pavilion, Atenfleld St., to-
day, when a “News” representative asked. if
it was the intention of the meeting to dis-
cuss the strike, and whether there was any
likelihood of it extending to ,-asgow?
“ This,” said Griff, “ is an ordinary weekly
meeting of the music-hall artists. Tho stride
may be discussed in the ordinary course of
the business, but I can tell you that there
is no prospect of the strike extending to
| Stoll’s nails in the provinces. I have re-
ceived a telegram from London to that effect
this morning.
“ You can see for yourself that if the
artists in the provinces came out, neither
they, nor their friends in London, would
have anything to live on. I am afraid tnat
j i..e Labour M.P.’s would hardly be able to
: give us the salaries we are accustomed to.
I “Out intention is to strike a blow in Lon-
I don. If we succeed there, the provinces
will naturally follow. And you can take it
| from me that there will ~e no strike in
Glasgow.” added Griff, in conclusion, “not
I tins week, at anyrate.”
-M
form&nce© per night, with the Tivoli Syndi-
• ” is £55, i *
/•? '? a Z
cate Halle, is £55, and during the last five
years with the Tivoli Syndicate my salary has
been half of what I mention, and I have had
to do three and four turns per night for that.
On a Saturday I had two matinees and four
night performances. In foot., I had to work
Like a Turk, as tho saying goes.
“I do not say I could not book now to play
for the syndicate at £120, but I will have
no opportunity till 1909. Then I may be
dead.
“But that dread climax would not be due to
a lack of medical attention on the part of the
Tivoli Syndicate.
“They will send me a doctor free of charge.
Why? I was indisposed Last autumn. I sene
my doctor’ soertificate, but that did not
satisfy tbo management. They were evi-
« dently anxious, and sent their own doctor to
jet amine me. If I had been the heir-
1 apparent, they could not hove been more
1 solicitous.
I “What would any sensible man think of &
management who did that?
‘If I had been a weak-minded man, they
might, by their action, have bullied me to go
on and perform, when I might have mined
my voice for the remainder of my life.
“Now as to salaries. Mr Stoll will not pay
any artiste a penny ncre than he is really
worth. In fact, I d > not know of any man-
agement that tli row sits money away. I ha’s
packed My Stoll’s houses for him for nine,
i tv'elve. twenty -five, and thirty pounds per
i week, and had I secured my full value I
vould havo been a rich man to-dav.
•‘I know ho has paid fabulous salaries to
book show sof other people who did not draw
the public.
“Proprietors and managers should not talk
alrout salaries at all. We (the V.A.F.) are
not differing abort salaries. It is f airplay.
“I guarantee if I had a contract to sign to-
morrow I would bo allowed to scratch and
scribble out al conditions I did not like. I
wish I had the ohance.
“I trust the public will look upon the
V.A.F. demands as honourable between em-
ployer and man.”
GRAMOPHONE MARVELS.
The gramophone has been 90 much im-
proved of late as to moke it a source of ;
great delight and enjoyment. Where tho
score musical of us 6omc yoore ago smiled the
smile of tolerant contempt on hearing it, it
lias now vindicated its existence as not only
the most marvellous invention of the age and
one of the greatest usefulness as a faithful
j -©carder of music, but as an edi’cator to th •
atudent and as a very artistic performer where
| repertoire is unlimited.
I The Latest improvement is the addition of ;
what is known as the “ Auxcto,” the mvon-
, tion of the Hon. Charles Pareons of turbine
fume. This ingenious invention adds addi-
1 tional power to tho ordinary gramophone aim
! also purifies tho tone in tho process.
| The “ Auxoto ’’-Gram ophone differs from
: the ordinary in there being a column cf ax
j foroed against a series of reeds. These ro. ds
' control tho pressure of air-current, and arc
in turn controlled by the sound waive vibra-
tions transmitted by the needle to tl e sous
box. For this purpose a silect electrio motor
is employed. ,
The mrusio conveyed by the needle to urn
sound box is thus given a current of- rushinr
air on which to carry its melodies, and the
recced is given as much air to waft itseU .
: upon as the original sound had when sung i
* bv the artiste. (

MORE HOUSES.
A CAUSTIC REPLY.
LOCAL PREPARATIONS.
Fivo moro London music halls came into
the area of tlio strike last night.
They were the London (Shoroditcb), Collins
(Islington), Cambridge (Commercial Street), ! '
Hippodrome (Crouoh End), and Palace (Stoke
Newington).
The artistes belonging to the Strikers’
Federation were called out of each hail, but
none of tho houses was closed os a oon6c-
quenoe, emergency “ turns ” being provided
in every oase.
Tho orchestras were considerably doplested,
and some curious eoenoa retail tod. The
worst had evidently been prepared for by [
Messrs. BurtiOy and Richards, the managers j
of the “ London,” Shoreditch, whoa at 6-15 j
they found that tho regular artistes bad had |
their “ notices ” from tho Rational Alliance.
- Tho management tapped <t secret. store of '
talent, which they had bpen accumulating j
for the past week. Seventeen performers
appeared, all anonymously, and tlio secret
of tho bounce of tbo new •* turns ” was not •
divulged to anyone.
Of tlio original programme, which in-
; eluded Qhcrrgwin amd Mira Marie Lloyd ;
only two nirtiFtes appeared, and these inad- j

At half-past three yesterday afternoon j

M. Beaute has -$een causing the doctors
and magistrates q 2 Glasgow, where he has H
been fasting, some anxiety.
The magistrates met t gk consider what f
stops it would be r prudent to take in view r
of Beaute’s determination to go on for l;
forty-six days. *,
The medical man in attendance had given 1
him up, and his conditioifwas regarded by c?
the authorities as very grave, .although p-
Beaute himself felt no cdhcern#'re marking
that he knew his conditioh better than the f?
doctors did. y '» / -
Lest they should endanger th e*T licence, I
which some of the magistrates ^were in- k
dined to withdraw', tho management of the £
building where he appeared promised to k
o excited looking as the man who ]|
reason of their presence. Two \
people,
was tho
policemen represented tho authorities, so
as could be ascertained, and, contrary to cx- j
pec tat ion, there were no doctors. 'Three I
days ago the attending doctor had withdrawn J
hii> visits, and then the authorities took up
the matter, urging that Mons. Beeuto was;
emidangerirug his life, and threatening the ||
manage meant of the place with liability if |
anything serious should occur.
But the fasting man treated the interior- vS
enoe of the authorities not as a kindness but
as a hardship, and when tho fast had per- |8
force to cease, he wa6 annoyed, as he be- 1
lieved that ho could have accomplished the 8
feat of remaining for 46 days without food IK
Certainly, when he emerged from his hut last I
night ho seemed fit. And ho himself said k
J he wie, em phasing his statement by giving r
j those around him a handshake which hardly
i| seemed that of a man whose life was in j|
{ danger. j
He was thin, no doubt, but without- the |
I knowledge that he had lost 2st. 31b. since ho j'
t began the ordeal one would not have guessed 1:
| that such a change hod taken place,
i He began on 1st. October, when he was list, g
1 exactly ; now ho is 3st. 111b. Mr. Mitchell, n
| manager for Mr. Pickard, explained that tho |
fast had been given up against the per- r.
former's wish, and at the request of the
authorities, and characterised the fact as I
‘ hard lines.”
This expression was endorsed by Hons. *
Beaute. who in a speech, delivered in an ur.- j|
faltering voice, said ho was quite confident
of being able to fulfil' the self-imposed task. |
When he came out of the “ house ” he fl
1 drank a half cup of Bovril, and received g
tho congratulations— rand the sympathies— j
of those present with smiling face, and after
conversing for a few- minutes he returned to I
1 Iiis -collision, -whore he told a Daily
Record and Mail ” man that he was feeling |
fairlv fir. and that in 'the course of eight or .
| nine" weeks he would be ready again to
undertake another fast of 1 46 days or longer. -
This is the nineteenth fast, he has under
gone in public, and his achievement con-
stitutes a record, the previous longest being
32 days. —
I take to fasting as a “profession.” He is ]
j; a man slightly under average height, with
| sallow features adorned by an ample mous- !
i tache, and his gestures -and accent when 1
• j speaking at once intimate his foreign birth. (
Ho is a. Swiss, hailing from Zurich, where |
ji ho was born 31 years ago. To look at his !_
J, thin frame one would never suspect that. |
;j about seven years ago he was a stout man, p
!| turning the scale at about 16 stones. It waft |
If this superabundance of adipose tissue that?
■ ji led to his being “ a fasting man.’*
1 wanted to reduce my stoutness, ao j
j fasted privately — first for six days, then f or Jf
, nine, and then for 13 days. I am a chemist V
I by profession, and have many medical men ij
j among my friends- and they doubted the jti
ij truth of my statements. So I offered to fast- f
j in public, and I have done bo several times |
now — nineteen in all. I have been fasting | t
jl in towns in Germany, Belgium, and Holland- j[
I and this is my fourth performance in Britain, |
but first in Sootland. The other places in }
J this country were Brighton, 24 days; South- |
j end-on-Sca, 28 days; and New Brighton
. Tower, 24 days. The longest fast I ever
j previously did was 32 days, done IS months
j ago in Halle.
I Mons. Beaute will not dine in first-class
l style henoeforth right away. It will take
j him eight or nine weeks to regain his
ii strength, so that ho will bo able to make
i another attempt. His diet during that
| period will be principally Bovril for break -
j fast and “ tea,” with perhaps a biscuit, and
] for dinner boiled rice will bo added, with
! duck eggs now and then.
jSfei put an end to the long fast when thirty
® nine full days have been completed. I
H During the fast, a number of youths held ft
up dainties to Beaute in his “ cage.” The ji
tant&lisation was short-lived/ however* for 1‘
the youths were speedily ejected. *

THE FASTING JIAN.
IMPROVED CONDITION.
Mons Beaute, who is undergoing a fast at
Pickard’s Museum in Txongate. was stated
yesterday to he in a very weak condition,
and it was decided that if his condition was
siill unfavourable this morning, the fast
would be abandoned. Several medical
gentlemen paid a visit this forenoon, and
after examination, it was found that his
condition wa3 more satisfactory, and the
doctors believe that he will be able to ab-
stain from food for at least another week.
THE FASTING MAN.
DOCTOR REFUSES TO TAKE ANY
FURTHER RESPONSIBILITY'.
Mot!©. Beaute, the fasting man whose test
of endurance at Pickard’s Museum in Tron-
gate, Glasgow, has reached the thirty-seventh
day. goes on now at his own risk. Dr. John
P. Grainger, who has been watching the pro*,
gross of the experiment throughout, threw
up all responsibility between two and three
o’clock this morning.
Tho doctor, who had paid three visits to
Mons. Beaute yesterday, beoa-me anxious as
the evening went on, and in the early hours
of the morning personally warned the ex-
perimentalist and wrote a letter to the
management stating that the experiment had
entered on “dangerous” ground, and that
“ the fast nyist cease.”
Mons Beaute, however, refused to aban-
don the test-, saying good-humouredly,
“You frightened! All r-r-ighc. I no
frightened. All r-r- : ghtl” He expressed
emphatically hie determination to go on, and
; tho affair now takes on a new end exciting
1 aspect. It is, however, not •improbable that
I the authorities may interfere in the cir-
cumstances.
One of the sensations of the past month in
Glasgow has been the exhibition of M. Victor
Beaute, a Swiss, who undertook to break all
fasting records by remaining without food for
forty-six days-
Beaute was taken to Glasgow by Mr. A. E.
Pickard, and has been attracting great crowds
at Pickard’s American Museum, Trongate. He
completed the thirty-seventn . day of his fast
.yesterday afternoon, but the doctor who at-
tended him since the commencement had
ceased his professional services, being of
opinion that- should the fast continue the
patient would be endangering himself. Yester-
day afternoon Mr. Pickard received a letter from
the Procurator Fiscal for Lanarkshire intima-
tiiuL^hat the exhibition must be stopped. It
vHfi ra jkied that in the event of the death of
Beaiiue as the result of the fasting Mr. Pickard
would be held criminally liable. Mr. Pickard
stated yesterday that since receiving the letter
he had done all he could to induce Beaute to
take food, but that Beaute insisted on complet-
ing his forty-six days’ fast.

THE FASTING MAN.
Glasgow, October 29.
g^-I should like to know- why such a thing
as this is allowed in the city of Glasgow, and
in a civilised country? Tho man is doing
nothing else than attempting suicide. People
will talk and argue that “this man has a free
will, and his life is his own. and he is harming
nobody although he were to die before his 46
days are up.” I maintain that ho is in a worse
position than a man who throws himself in the
Clyde and attempts suicide. Tho only differ-
ence is that the half-drowned man gets 14 daj-s
imprisonment as soon as ho recovers, and the
starved man gets the applause of the people.
The drowning man has a free will, his life is
hi, own and ho harms nobody oven if he did
drown. Why put the law on one and not on the
j other? — I am, etc., \ox Poptjli.

THE FASTING MAN.
Quite a large gathering of the* public was
present yesterday when at ' haJf-past three
Mons. Beaute ato his first meal after his long
fast. It was not what might be called a
sumptuous repast. The menu consisted of
bovril, oats, and a gloss of Iron Brew. Then
followed a bit of after-dinner oratory, Mon*.
Beaute stating that he would attempt a- fifty
days’ fast during the course ' ’
i twelve months.

A REMARKABLE FEAT.
[j ATTEMPTED WORLD’S RECORD FAST.
U One of the moat remarkable feats of en-

II . here is at present a gentleman endeavour-
SJiug to undergo a fast of forty-six days’
jy. duration. He is known by the name of
wH 0 . ns : B <?aute, and is a .native of Zurich.
SlPp 18 n<>t ‘he first time that he has under-
| taken to fast for a considerable period. On
iff ‘“8 occasion, however, if he accomplishes
(3 the feat, a. Worlds record for faetinv will
J be established. Up to last night, fourteen
J days of his euduranoo had gone, and hie
j. condition is considered highly eatisfactory
by lus medical adviser. Since the oom-
|| niencoinent of the fast, he has lost sixteen
a pounds lq weight, but his health neverthe-
VMoeo is remarkable. Bulletins of bus oondi-
tiou are issued daily, and every one up to
; the present has proved gratifying. He lives
c entirely on soda water, and of cigarettes, oh !
- an average, he smokes eight a dav. At the ,
end of the first three daye he had 'lost Silhs, j
■ - the seventh day tills had increased

h ™ce the commencement of the fast
Mr Pickard’s eetabliehment has been

POLICE & A PAST AT GLASGOW j
One of the sensations of the past ‘
month in Glasgow has been the exlii- '
bition or M. Victor Beaute, a Swiss, j
who undertook to break all fasting :
records by remaining without food ■■
for 46 days. Beaute was taken to 1
Glasgow by Mr d A. E. Pickard, and
has been attracting great crowds at
Pickard’s American Museum, Tron-
gate.
On Tuesday he completed the 37th
day of his_ fast, but the doctor who
attended him since the commence- I*
| meat liad ceased his professional ser- *
I vices, being of ODinion that should the ,
j fast continue the patient would be i
j endangering himself.
1 In .the afternoon Mr. Pickard i".
.j received a letter from the Procurator " S
I t fiscal ffc- Lanarkshire intimating that i
I the exhibition must be stopped. It
1 was added that in the event of the j ;
I death of Beaute as . the result of the . :
I fasting Mr. Pickard would be held ] •’
if criminally liable.
j Mr. Pickard stated that since receiv-
| ln " tne letter he had done all he could ■
if. to induce Beaute to take food, but
that Be_aute insisted on completing his j ’
if 46 days fast.

THE FISTING MAN.
A VISIT FROM THE POLICE..
\ M. Beaute, the fasting man at- Pickaras.!
j Mu seam, accomplished his thirty-third- day's 1
. abstinence from food, yesterday, thus break- l
ing his previous best record of. thirty- two [
! days.
He was so very weak yesterday [
morning- that he was ordered *
| to bed. by Dr’ Granger, as stated in the “Citi- |
zen, M informed the management that if his J
patient was no better this morning; he would
give him up for a bad job.
1 It seems that, last week, on several days, \
j Beaute suffered very much from headache, j
backache, and swimming in the head, and his {
medical adviser feared then that, he ‘would !
\ have to relinquish the attempt, to last out
3 forty-six days.
An inspector of polioe and two other
! < fficers called last nigr.t to warn the, man-a-ge-
S ment of tho possible consequences of a fatal
J issue to the long fast.
• The management disclaimed responsibility,
j pointing out that Beaute was determined
i to accomplish the feat, and that a medical
| man had been provided to warn him when
This condition gave cause for anxiety i
; Upon making his usual examination this
ja morning. Dr Granger found that. Beaute had
jd improved considerably with the rest and
Asleep enjoyed by him. and expressed the
(opinion that the patient might possihlv go
^lon for five or si* dnvs yet without endangor-
jintr his future health.
• Beaute. although very much emaneiated-
llooking. and so weak as to be almost in can
able of walking, has only lost 1 stone 13£
jibs, since his self-imposed task was entered
ipon. He drank a bottle of spda yesterday,
md .smoked four cigarettes.

ILL EASTING MAN IN GLASGOW.
MARVELLOUS FEAT.
As everyone knows the latest novelty in Glasgow
is a fasting man. M. Victor Beaute has been brought
i to the city by Mr A. E. Pickard specially to break
I the record in the longest fast endured by any man
1 who survived the ordeal.
M. Beaute has undertaken to do without food foi?
| forty-six days. There was a considerable crowd of
j spectators on the 1st inst., in Pickard's American
j Museum, Trongate, Glasgow, when M. Biaute
l entered the little cabin from which he will not issue
! again for a month and a half, or, to be quite precise,
until Wednesday, the 15th November next.
This cabin, which has been specially made for the
! fasting man, is built of wood with glazed windows on
( all four sides, ro that, he is open to view both by night
; and by day. It is divided into two parts by hanging
curtains — one part containing an iron bedstead with
mattress bed, the other an arm-chair, one small chair,
a small chest of drawers, and a table with toilet
requisites.
1 There is no door in the cabin, and when M. Beaute
; stepped inside through one of the windows, the gap
was closed up with glass, and he was, as some one
remarked, “ cut off from the world.” There he will
remain until the end of his long trial of endurance,
■ under the supervision of Mr Harry Hill, foreman to
i Mr Pickard.
1 Every morning the gauze covering a small sliding
panel will be removed, bis temperature will be taken
1 by the doctor in attendance, and his weight will also
be taken. The medical man will then fasten the
Jianel again and seal it as he leaves it day by day.
M. Beaute has visited the Royal Infirmary and
surprised the doctors there by the soundness of his
j health and the strength of his bone and muscle after
undergoing so much fasting a8 he has done. As a
guarantee of good faith he gives them permission to
come down and examine the contents of his stomach
| on the expiry of 46 days.
M. Beaute is a dapper little man, 5 feet 5 inches
in height, and weighing II st. 7 lbs, when he entered
his trial on 1st inst. He is 31 years of age, and a
native of Zurich, Switzerland. He is single, he says,
! with a laugh, which conveys the impression that the
fact goes without saying. This is the nineteenth
I time he has put himself to such a strain, but only the
i fourth time in Britain.
He gave performances of all kinds all over Ger-
i many, Holland, and Belgium. In England he fasted
for 24 days in Brighton, 28 days in Southend, and 24
days in New Brighton. His longest fast hitherto has
been 32 days.
Whilst fasting he lives entirely on cigarettes, cf
which he smokes ten a day, more or less, and on
I water. The cigarettes have been supplied by Messrs
j M‘Kenzie & Co., tobacco manufacturers, 40 Royal
j Exchange Square, Glasgow. Before undergoing the
I fast he lived for a fortnight entirely on beef tea.
Mr Pickard invites any medical man to come down
and see M. Beaute any time either by day or by night
| during the fast.
§lai4oi<r ,
j Tho worst thing about this fasting
| seems to be the danger of becoming a.
I slave to tho habit. Even the orders of
rtho J?rocurator-Fiscal seem to be unavail-

30 DAYS WITHOUT FOOD.
Mons. Beaute, the fasting man, has now
reached the 30th day of his 46 days’ fast, i
He has still 16 days to go ere hie unique
■ task is at an end. The report issued by his ‘
j medical adviser last night was highly fav^i
1 ourable, showing little change in his oonL
dition, and Mons. Beaute is determined that'
he will achieve success. He looks remark,
ably well. When he commenced' the
fast at the beginning of this month his
■weight was 11 stone, and he hae by'absti- ;
nence reduced himself to 9 stone. He con- !
sumee about three-quarters of a bottle of i
soda-water a day, but for the past few days |
ho uas left off smoking. Large crowds ‘
a visit Mr Pickard’s museum daily, and view
? Mons. Beaute with curious interest.

FASTING S HOW TO "JEND.
The management of Pickard's American
Museum in Glasgow, where Beaute, the
Swiss fasting man, has been trying to go
forty-six days without food, liave decided,
in deference to public 6entiment, to put an
end to the exhibition at midnight to-nigKF;
Beaute will then have completed foirty
days' fast, and the action of the museum
managers in preventing him from fasting
any longer is taken much against his will.
The Glasgow magistrates met yesterday to
discuss a proposal to insist on the exhibi-
tion being stopped, but the meeting was
adjourned until to-day. Arrangements
have beeu made to render instant aid to
Beaute if he should collapse in the mean- )
time. I

THE FASTING MAN.
The Procurator- Fiscal Intervenes.
Mr Hart, the Procurator-Fiscal fori it, ©’j
County has this afternoon written to Mr .
Pickard that frqnj information received, j'
there seemed to be reason to believe that the .*
lift- of _Mons. Beaute was now in sonic
danger. He therefore begged to intimate
that the 'exhibition must now be stopped
and that “in tho event of the death of 1
Monsieur Beaute, as the result of tho fasting i
you will in, criminally liable.”
Mr Pickard this afternoon informed . our i
representative thu$ he was powerless in tli« I
matter. He has -i... u; 1( , t .;, e
from the doctor, r-'ol ilia i.ove, communica-
tion done all he could to induce Mona. Beaute
to acoept of food. That, gentleman still j
