Stirling and Chapmen follow and please. Tom and Edith Almond are third and score. Elsie Ridgley & Co. in "Types” by Oliver White prove the big hit of the bill.

As predicted in these columns a few weeks ago, an un¬ derstanding has been reached and at the present time a White Rat card is recog¬ nized as a Union card as far as the agencies go which have agreements with the Union. The Union is notifying theater mana- --i, resolution adopted f‘ fi age t the outlook. The wife of one of the Delton Broth¬ ers died In New York last week. Her husband, who was playing at Winnipeg, , received a message to that effect an ' hour before he went on Friday night. He continued in the bill for the remain¬ der of the week. The folks on the bill raised a purse of $20 to buy flowers for the funeral and the amount was wired to New York. The Delton Brothers are laying off this week in Milwaukee. • If Col. Ned Seymour wanted to brag he could point out that he opened at Sinner’s theater last Monday, a new act In Chicago, and on Tuesday was given contracts for twenty-one weeks of the Sullivan & Considine time. 10 Weeks Blanket Contracts to Acts Playing my Northwestern Circuit Censored — Vaudeville Attractions Metropolitan Booking Offices,107 Madi¬ son St., Second Floor.

Federation of Labor at Rock Island, Ill., Karl Emmy's Pets have been booked October 19, which read: > till June 5. "Whereas, The theaters throughout Illinois depend for their existence upon the patronage of the working class, and i the Lowe “Whereas, This working class is com¬ posed largely of members of the-affili¬ ated unions, their families and friends, therefor be it "Resolved, That the theaters through¬ out the State of Illinois be required to display the label of the Actors’ Inter¬ national Union conspicuously in the lobby or box office.” The Agents’ Association. Contemplated action of the Theatri¬ cal and Vaudeville Agents’ Association of America is knocked in the head by the “understanding’’ of the White Rats and the union. In the meantime the Board of Directors of Local No. 4 recom¬ mended to the union the passing of a resolution declaring that association "un¬ fair” and the resolution was passed and has been referred to the State Federa¬ tion of Labor. This resolution reads: “Whereas, There is in the city of Chi¬ cago a booking agents’ combination named the Theatrical and Vaudeville Agents’ Association of America, which books artists for the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois, and “Whereas. A large majority of said association have discriminated against the Actors’ International Union and particularly Local No. 4, of the city of Chicago, "Therefore be it resolved. That the Ill¬ inois State Federation of Labor, in con¬ vention assembled, do hereby declare said association unfair to organized la¬ bor, and be It further resolved, “That the secretary of the Illinois State Federation of Labor be instructed to send a copy of this resolution to all central bodies affiliated to the State Federation of Labor.” Bittner’s Big Business. This promises to be the banner week in the history of Sittner’s theater. The house had capacity at both shows Mon¬ day night, turned people away at the first show Tuesday night and had big business at the second show. The bill is a wonderful one reflecting great credit on all concerned. Sherman, DeForrest & Co. are headliners and in the same bill is Adelaide Keim & Co., with “Miss Bright, Decorator.” The Plaza goes along with good bills and does not make any particular ef¬ fort at "opposition.” The bill the first half of the week, showed one act which woke up that cold audience. It was George B. Reno and his “Misfit Army.” Alexander & Scott, recognizied as a standard act, did not go well enough Tuesday night for the gloves to be re¬ moved and it came as a surprise for it was taken for granted that North avenue would like that act. “It is a peculiar audience that pat¬ ronizes the Plaza," remarked an agent who is not interested in the booking of either the Plaza or Sittner’s at the pres¬ ent time “An act may die at the new house that would be a big hit at Sitt¬ ner’s. So far there has not been an act to break the ice like George B. Reno & Co., and the enthusiasm for his offer¬ ing is not one-fourth what Sherman & DeForrest get across the street. Frank Bush did not prove a hit at the Plaza when it was called the Comedy and I’ll venture he would clean up at Sittner’s.’’ The bill for this week at Sittner’s and the bill for the first half at the Plaza are given below: Sittner’s.—Le Call & Garrett, Ruby Marlowe, Stanley Sextet, Col. Ned Sey¬ mour, Adelaide Keim, Toney & Norman, Sherman, DeForrest & Co. Flaza. —Marzelo & Wolf, Grace Orma, Mike F. Schiavone is building a new theater for Jones, Linick & Schaefer at Lexington street and Fortieth which will open Christmas week. It will cost about $50,000, counting the ground. The new house will be a mile from the Hamlin, a mile from the Kedzle, and a mile and a half from the Lyda. Back to Former Policy. Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 25.—The Ma¬ jestic will discontinue its fight against the Orpheum house and beginning next week will go back to five acts, with prices prices 10 and 20 cents. B. A.
