NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
The guests of the New Magnolia 
were delighted by the return on Sat- 
urday last of Mons. Theodore Hansen, 
first secretary of the Russian embassy. 
M. Hansen has been to New York to 
welcome the Russian plenipotentiary, 
M. de Witte, and was accompanied on 
his return by Commodore A. G. Bou- 
takoff, who has lately returned from 
the Far East. Commodore Boutakoff 
reports at Portsmouth this week, but 
it is expected and hoped that M. Han- 
sen may be retained in Magnolia. M. 
Benno de Siebert, who is retained at 
the Russian embassy on Coolidge’s 
Point during the peace conference, is 
a frequent visitor at the New Magno- 
lia, to the great delight of his many 
friends there. 
Good Season for Hotels. 
The present season is said to be one 
of the best for the hotels on the North 
Shore for many years. All of the 
Magnolia hotels are practically full. 
The New Magnolia has almost every 
room in the house engaged up to the 
last of this month, and the booking 
for September is away ahead of last 
year. The Hesperus has been turn- 
ing away applicants for rooms all the 
week, while Proprietor Upton of the 
Oceanside states it is one of the best 
seasons he has had. The house book- 
ing on Wednesday night was 523 
guests, against 499 last year, 501 in 
03 and 532 in 1902. The largest 
booking he ever had was in 1902, 
when 567 guests were entertained at 
the hotel. 
There are about 65 guests at. the 
Masconomo, in Manchester.

“The Geezer of Geck.’” 
The merry ‘“ Geezer of Geck,” which has 
enjoyed such a prosperous engagement at 
the Tremont Theatre, will enter upon the 
fourth and last week at that cool and com- 
fortable playhouse next Monday evening, 
August 14. “The Geezer of Geck” is a 
musical pastime that is well named, for the 
music is tuneful and catchy, and the comedy, 
with which this offering so liberally abounds, 
is screamingly funny. 
August 21 is the date set for the beginning 
of the regular fall and winter season at the 
Tremont, and the opening attraction will 
be George Ade’s comedy, “The College 
Widow,” which ran for 84 weeks at the 
Garden Theatre, New York, last season. 
The piece is the most successful that the 
author of “Fables in Slang” has offered 
playgoers, and Manager Henry W. Savage 
will present it with a cast of uncommon 
strength.
