Concerning Proctor's. 
The . entire vaudeville world has been awaiting with interest the 
outcome of the recent experiments enacted by the Proctor man- 
agement in using the same artists for appearances in two houses 
the same week. Some years ago Cissie Loftus appeared at the 
Twenty-third Street Theatre and Fifty-eighth Street Theatre during 
the same week, but the experiment was not continued until the 
engagement of Mr. Charles Hawtrey a few weeks ago. Mr. 
Hawtrey found it so easy to play at the Twenty-third Street and 
Fifth Avenue Theatres the same week that the following week he 
renewed his engagement for the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth 
Street and Twenty-third Street Theatres. Jessie Milward ap- 
peared also at the Fifth Avenue and Twenty-third Street Theatres, 
and afterward at Twenty-third Street and Newark, while the fol- 
lowing week Blanche Ring established a record by playing six 
performances a day, appearing four times in New York and twice 
in Newark. The system has now become a regular thing, many 
of the minor performers appearing at two houses the same week. 
The success of this experiment, which is now clearly established, 
enables the presentation of better bills, since when good acts 
are scarce, the same attraction may be played in two houses, to 
the betterment of both bills. 
In the latter part of August the Colt Patent Firearms Co. will 
be ready to deliver their army revolver with 6in. barrel, .38cal., 
blue finish, especially designed for the .38cal. S. & W. special 
cartridge. This revolver has the small-bore barrel and chambered 
cylinder of the new Colt target revolver known as the officers' 
model, but the plain sights and finish of the regulation army 
revolver. This arm will appeal to those who wish a military 
arm of .38cal., which can be used with various cartridges, with 
loads running from the lightest gallery charge with round bullet 
up to the full service charge.
