Sullivan is to build a new $100,000 theatre on East Fourteenth street. New York. Mr. Sullivan's full plans have not been divulged, but it is probable that the new house will play combination attractions. Congressman Sullivan has an immense following in New York, and his theatre should draw a big patronage from his tremendous poltical circle. The new house will be called the City Theatre, and will not be opened until next year. Theatre Sold For Million Dl'LUTH, Minn.. Sept. 9.— Thomas F.

Marshall Company is president of the North Theatre Managers' Association. Charles Frohman to Settle Permanently in London Authors, managers, actors, stars — hereafter address your letters. Charles Frohman, The Globe Theatre, London — instead of The Empire Theatre, New York. Why? Because the long threatened is about to happen. It is said that the manager regards the outlook for the present season with such a roseate view that the next time he goes to London, he will take up a permanent residence in the British capital. In the two months that have elapsed since his return from London, Mr. Frohman has brought out six productions, of which five are prevailing successes. Besides these he has under way fourteen other pieces, varying in character from musical comedy to straight drama, which will be in full operation by next February. With his American theatres and stars thus amply provided for, Mr. Frohman, like Alexander the Great, is naturally looking for new worlds to conquer. The wiseacres say that behind the next trip that Charles Frohman makes to London will be two ideas — namely, to put into operation in England the American system of booking a company for a long tour, with London regarded no differently than any other city. With The Globe Theatre as his headquarters, Mr. Frohman will establish a booking department, a printing department, and a producing department, which will be duplicates of his present American plant, which, although it is not generally known, is the largest in existence and has resources sufficient to completely equip any dramatic production. The other idea behind Mr. Frohman's forthcoming trip to London, will be the complete operation of The Repertoire Theatre plan at The Duke of York's, for which f. M. Barrie, W. S. Maugham, H addon Chambers. Bernard Shaw and Granville Barker are now writing plays. Mr. Frohman says that "with the ocean liners making the trip in four days, America may occasionally see me for week ends, but that will be the most." Those who are close to him say that Charles Frohman has been waiting for the American season that would average him five successes out of six productions — an unprecedented record for any living manager. This season Mr. Frohman has struck and is keeping the gait he has long wished for — hence his flight to other parts. Like a parent gradually teaching a child to walk, the manager has for the past five years been gradually lengthening his stay in London, until now his stars are accustomed to feel his presence as strongly when he is in England as when he is in New York. It will, therefore, be no great hardship on the little army whom Mr. Frohman calls "his people." There will be no marked difference in the operation of the Frohman policy in America. Its scope will be as widespread, its experiments as frequent, and its general character the same. But with Mr. Frohman making London his headquarters, a good part of the Frohman staff will be kept continuously on the water. Scene painters, stage managers, and actors will be summoned by cable and travel to and fro as their services are demanded. Mr. Frohman's affairs in America will be exclusively in the hands of his general manager. Alt* Hayman, while he himself devotes his energy to duplicating 111 England and on the Continent the theatrical policy that so unmistakably bears his imprint throughout America.
