Hawkins, a prominent Hollister capitalist and president of the Grangers Union of Hollister and associated with him are a number of Hollister capitalists. The building is to be located on a prominent corner of San Benito street and is to be newly furnished with all modern theatre conveniences, including latest chairs, proscenium boxes, perfect ventilation, heating appliances, true acoustics, etc. The seating capacity will be seven hundred or more. It is arranged to accommodate traveling shows as well as being designed primarily for the installation of moving pictures. Throughout it is to be built on plans approved by Mr. Piratsky. The latter gentleman's connection w ith the late lamented La Petite theatre in this city, as well as a long experience in managing opera houses, makes him peculiarly fitted to supervise the management of such a playhouse, and it is probable that he will arrange to have the place conducted under his direction while he will continue to give his personal attention to his business affairs in Watsonville. — IV'atsonvillc Pajaronian, Dec. 30. A New Hollister Theatre Jas. G. Piratsky of this city today signed a contract which gives him a lease on a new opera house in Hollister for a period of ten years. Construction work on the new building is to be begun at once. One of the parties interested in the erection of the new building, which will cost $20,000, Chapman Branching Out A corporation composed of Monterey, Watsonville and Santa Cruz capitalists is about to form a theatrical circuit to comprise Salinas and the tliree named cities and that the intention is to "freeze out" the moving picture and vaudeville houses by establishing an opera house in which work of a superior class can be produced, declares the Salinas Journal. It is understood that a number of those interested in the project were recently in Salinas negotiating for a desirable site upon which to erect a class "A" building, and again it was reported yesterday that operations for the erection or renovation of a building in Salinas would begin Monday. A number of those interested in the theatrical business were interviewed and admitted that they had heard of the intention of the promoters, but further er than this, more definite information could not be gained. It was learned that desirable locations or leases have IldUl!>UIl 3 parenfs Stationery Co.,8^1?? Avenue, S.F.

Chaptlian this, more definite information man, who has the lease on the Work Theatre of Monterey and the Swain Theatre of Santa Cruz, and was formerly the manager of the Watsonville Opera House, is the moving spirit in this scheme. It is said Tom Work, the rich Monterey contractor, is also interested. Spotlights Following William II. Crane at the new Columbia Theatre will come Marie Cah ill with her muchly praised production of The Boys and Betty. Miss Cahill's new musical play contains a dozen numbers of exceptional value which have been prepared by Silvio Hein. Mr. Hein will be in the conductor's chair when The Boys and Betty is produced here. Klaw & Erlanger are making arrangements to stage in San Francisco their great Western spectacle, The Round-Up, exactly as in New York. This has been made possible by the construction of the new Columbia Theatre with its massive stage which rises to a sufficient height to allow for the staging of the Grand Canyon scene in all its beauty. Maude Adams, after playing her special return engagement in New York with Barrie's play, What Every Woman Knows, starts on her transcontinental tour which will bring her to this city. The Frohman star has in her new play what is said to be the most delightful work of her entire career and from present indications it will serve her for some seasons to come. Hattie Williams will make her first San Francisco appearance as a star in the comedy Detective Sparkes. John Drew, in Inconstant George, will be seen here next spring. Drew is up and about again after his fall from his horse in Central Park which proved quite a severe accident.

Kennedey, Harry 15. Raymond, Pearl Ethier, Irene Outtrim and Inez Baird. Rene Fauchois, the author of Beethoven, which is to be presented at the New Theatre, is not thirty years old. Meethoven is a three-act drama written in verse.. Meethoven has speaking roles for twenty-one men and six women ; provides opportunity for fine scenic effects and for incidental music by the composer after whom the drama is named. In the New Theatre's production there will be a personification of nine Beethoven symphonies, each being represented by a muse in the person of a young woman.
