A BIG HIT AT SITTNER’S THIS WEEK BURLESQUE ENGAGEMENTS Takes Elegant Suite in the Crilly Building, Giving Plenty of Room for Recently Acquired Business. The new offices of William Morris, Inc., in the Crilly building at 167 Dearborn street are elegantly ap¬ pointed in every way and there is now sufficient space for the practical operation of the extensive bookings of the rapidly growing western con¬ nection of this important vaudeville interest. The new offices have been splen¬ didly furnished and even if the agency grows as J. C. Matthews expects there is no likelihood of additional rooms being needed for several months. The William Morris, Inc., agency has occupied the same floor of the same building for several years and the advantage of securing sufficient space without removing to a new building is at once recognized. S. A. Bristow, the William Morris, Inc., lawyer, and J. C. Matthews, who has charge of the Chicago agency of William Morris, Inc., each have splendid private offices. Sam Baer- witz and Murray Blee have a big room in which the booking is. carried on under the personal supervision of Mr. Matthews and there remains ample space for the waiting artists and the house managers who secure attractions from that agency. In addition there is a room for Col. W. A. Thompson, which the signs states is the “business office of the American Music Hall.” THE GREAT ALBINI BOOKED SOLID SUBSCRIBE FOR THE SHOW WORLD SMILETTA TRIO TRIPLE BAR EXPERTS ADDRESS: Care E. E. MEREDITH PRESS BUREAU, 167 Dearborn Street, CHICAGO C. SHARP TAKES SLAP AT WILLIAM MORRIS? C. Sharp Jocosely Styled “B. Dull,” Refers to “Principaj Offices” in Statement Which Does Not Include Leading Agency C. Sharp, a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde sort of person, who edits the vaudeville department of the Chicago American under the name of Sharp, and handles the press work of the American Music Hall under another name, had an item in his notes last Saturday, which said: “A sign has been posted in the principal booking offices barring out the alleged press agents,” etc., etc. Investigation in every room of the spacious new offices of William Mor¬ ris, Inc., in the Crilly building, failed to disclose such a sign and the only conclusion deducible is that C. Sharp does not consider the office of Wil¬ liam Morris, Inc., one of the “prin¬ cipal booking offices.” To be sure that no such sign was hidden behind the door of the private office of J. C. Matthews, an investiga¬ tor made a careful survey. When Mr. Matthews was questioned he an¬ swered “I have not seen any such sign,” rather evasively. When cor¬ nered he confessed that there was. no such sign in the office of William Morris, Inc., nor had the posting of such sign been considered. Mr. Matthews was then questioned concerning the sign and at length made a direct statement. “There is no such sign in this office,” he said with that degree of emphasis which made a search behind the photos on the wall useless labor.
