CITY COUNCIL ADOPTS NEW THEATRE LICENSE FEE RATE Puts Through Schedule Based Upon Capacity and Admission Charges, That Takes in All Classes of Houses As Well As Parks. •ti Regardless of the long fight made by theatrical organizations, the City Council has voted to increase the license fees of all theatres, movie houses and baseball parks. Various organizations, comprised of movie owners, legitimate theatre mag- nates and vaudeville theatre proprietors, made a hard fight against the -impending increase, but withdrew their objections practically at the last moment and per- mitted the committee to consider the in- crease. The new license fee schedule for the- atres, including the movies, is graded both on seating capacity and admission charges, as follows: Price of Price of Price of Ilailmnas admla- admis- admis- price of Maximum alon sloa atOD adrnl*- Seatlng not over not over not over aloa capacity 23 ct*. 40 era. tl. over SI. 330 1200 1250 $300 81.000 760 250 850 400 1.000 1,000 300 450 600 1,200 1.600 350 500 700 1.2SO •Over. Alderman Cullerton tried hard to post-, pone action on the schedule, but was de- feated by votes of 32 to 6 and 31 to 14. Then came the fee on baseball parks, i which also created a long discuiafon, arid the council finally decided to make the fee for parks with more than 20,000 aeaU «3,000 a year; for those with between 15,000 and 20,000 seats, $1,500, god for ■ those with between 10,000 and 15,000 seats, $1,000. . The council repealed the ordinance fix- ing license fees for moving picture film exchanges, so that these companis cannot take advantage of the present fees the first of the year. The license committee expects to recommend higher fees at their meeting in 1020. GALU-CURC1 OBJECTED Arbitration ended a walk-out of Mme. Amelita fiaUi-Courci from the Chicago Grand Opera Company on Thursday of last week. On two occasions lime. Galli-Ciirci ap- peared on the same evening with John Alden Carpenter's ballet, "The Birthday of Infanta.'' On Tuesday night, the ballet was given precedence on the program. Mme. Galli-Curci, playing the principal role in "La Sonnambula," appeared subse- quently. . The hour was late. Many patrons were obliged to leave before the performance was half over. The diva was quite chagrined. On Saturday evening, the ballet was re- served until last, much to the satisfaction of the star, but to the corresponding con- sternation of Carpenter. The intervention of Max Pam, chairman of the board of directors of the Opera Association, re- sulted in a compromise. Mme. Galli Curci refused to wax enthusiastic .about attacking high "C" to only an audience of ushers and house attaches. Mr. Carpenter contended that his opera was not written for the sole purpose of rehearsing scene- shifters and exercising ballet girls. The Opera Association insisted that there was no alternative but to offer both produc- tions the same evening. SELL FIRST NATL INTEREST Jones, I.inick and Schaefer have dis- posed of their interests in the First Na- tional Exchange of Chicago for a reported sum of $230,000, to Balaban and Gats, ac- cording to Ralph Kettering, general, rep- resentative of that concern. Some years ago, Jones, Linick and Schaefer sold a half interest in the ex- change to the Asher Brothers, and with their final sale to Balaban and Gatz this makes the rival motion picture concern! partners in the new venture. The new arrangements permit Asher Brothers to retain their half interest and give* Bal- aban and Gatz the other half. Following the sale, Aaron J. Jones resigned from the board of directors of the First Na- tional Exhibitors' Circuit, which take* effect at once. This is one of the largest film deals ever executed in Chicago, and it opens the way of connecting the holdings of Balaban and Gatz and the Aaher Brother*, thus cementing Chicago's leading motion picture theatre -owners. EX-BOOKING AGENT ARRESTED Tommy Gary, prominent in theatrical and pugilistic circles,, and at one time a booking agent in this city, was arrested early last week on a charge of robbery and also with selling illicit whiskey. It is thought, however, that an error hag been made in his arrest. He will be tried next week. He is out on bonds of $6,500. NEW REVUE IS READY "Snow-flurries,'* a new revue, will be produced at the Marigold Gardens this coming week. It is by Edward Beck. Elsie Wedda, Hallye, Neuter, Dolly Fowler and Betty Campbell will be the*featured singing and dancing artists. The Angelo Armento troupe of acrobats and Johnny Byam and Charles Gash will also have roles. It will play: an' Indefinite engage- ment at the Gardens. ■CLAW'S NAME TAKEN OFF The name of Marc Klaw baa been stricken from the introductory head of the Olympic Theatre program, where it has been for many years, under the firm name of Klaw & Erlanger. The name of Erlanger alone will occupy the space here- after. NEW FILM HOUSE COMING A new pkttur* theatre will he erected on Division street, near Hoyne, in the near future. It will have a -»«f<t»3> capacity of 2,000 and will play feature films. It will he called The Biltmore. TAKES OVER THE NATIONAL Irons and Clamage have again taken over the National Theatre and' will in- troduce a resident stock company. The house opened January S with "The County Cousin." Frank J. ODonnell will become house manager. ** TO REVIVE "PETER GRIMM" On the eve of his departing from Chi- cago, David Warfield announces that next season he wQl act a revival of The Re- turn of Peter Grimm."
