MISS LULU GLASER.
CONCERNING PROCTOR'S.
There is not in all America a handsomer
vaudeville theatre than Proctor's, in Newark,
N. J., which was opened to the public on
Jan. 6th. The attendance has been phenom-
enally big ever since. The interest taken
in refined vaudeville by Newark theatregoers
proves that Proctor's fills a long-felt want.
In Montreal a permanent stock company
has been established. The best comedies and
dramas will be presented, as in New York.
Proctor's, Albany, will continue to present
the best vaudeville the market affords. Oc-
casional visits from the Proctor Stock Co.
will bring the best productions to diversify
the entertainment. At Proctor's Twenty-
third street, New York, continuous vaude-
ville rules and will so continue throughout
the season.
The Fifth avenue, Fifty-eighth street and
One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street will
have dramatic presentations by the Proctor
Stock. Fine productions are assured, and in
the matter of scenic equipment and costum-
ing, the most careful attention will be paid
to detail. Vaudeville of the best grade will
be presented between acts.
Sundav concerts rule at all of Proctor's
New York City Theatres. Refined vaude-
ville is presented continuously after 2 p. M.
The talent engaged in the regular weekly
bills is augmented by special engagements
for that dav, and the entertainments are the
best in New York.

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS.
Since "A Signal from Mars" march, pub-
lished by the E. T. Paull Music Co., has been
on the market that firm has received a num-
ber of testimonials of which they can be just-
ly proud. Through the courtesy of this firm
we are able to publish a few of the many:
Southbridge, Mass.
E. T. Paull Music Co.
Gentlemen:—I have just received one of
your beautiful marches entitled "A Signal from
Mars." I always keep a full line of all your
marches and find them the best sellers in the
market. I can sell a quantity of this new
march. Can you give me a special rate if I
order a lot ?
. Yours faithfully,
C. E. Hill.
Marshall, Minn.
Gentlemen:—Enclosed find check to bal-
ance account. When you have a good hit
like "A Signal from Mars" don't be afraid to
send it on; music like this sells at sight.
Yours faithfully,
F. M. Healy.
Hennessey, Okla.
Gentlemen:—Have you any new marches
composed by E. T. Paull, later than the
"Dawn of the Century" and "Fire Alarm?"
If you have, please send me a list of them. I
had these at a recital. "Dawn of the cen-
tury" was popular in the extreme and I would
wish something new and stirring like it. I
have had all of your two-steps at my recitals,
and they have helped me to gain a lasting rep-
utation as a teacher of piano and organ.
Yours respectfully, Delia W. Thorpe.
"PEERLESS" SUCCESSES.
The Peerless Publishing Co. are very well
represented at the brilliant social events of
the season. At the reviews of the crack reg-
iments the "Chimes of Freedom" has been the
march used by the bands. It was played as
the grand march at the ball of the Knights of
Columbus, at the Madison Square Garden,
by an orchestra of seventy-five pieces.
