"Sally Berch proved to be one of the really big events of the new bill.

Following the January reception given the "Maytime" company the Shuberts sent here last week, J. J. Shubert ordered the show discontinued after Sunday night and the company -returned to New York.

Chairman E. F. Albee has arranged to divert into the channels of the play- house in the next ten days of the drive new and attractive selling bills and novelties. THE DRIVE IN THEATRES. (Written for Variety by the Publicity Department of the Liberty Loan Commit- tee, Second Federal Reserve District, by John Price Jones, Assistant Director of Publicity.) The cumulative effects of the Liberty Loan drive in the allied theatres are being evidenced in the totals of sub- scriptions. For the week ending Sun- day the sum secured reached $6,702,000; and in several instances the bonds sold at a single performance have exceeded $100,000. The showing for this cam- paign is as noteworthy as in the Third Drive, but, as the Loan as a whole is lagging, every endeavor will be made to force the theatre to a higher speed. The splendid results achieved at the stand of the Stage Women's War Re- lief Committee marks in high relief the totals of these workers. The groups of distinguished and popular actors, singers and speakers appearing daily on the Public Library steps account for the exceptional showing. The itinerant Little Liberty Theatre also has come into its own and is one of the picturesque features of the .present drive,.. At the Columbus Circle. " entrance of the Park "the Universal" Theatre is selling large blocks of sub- scriptions. Sizeable individual sums taken by 15 (prominent managers have been re- corded. With the opening of the Motion Picture Industries Exposition, the drive received a new impetus; and the program in the Metropolitan Opera CHOO'S BIG TIME TURN. George Choos is making a big time bid with a new girl act called "Per- haps You're Right,", which has a cast of four and a chorus of eight. Don C. Barclay is to be featured. Ray Samuels Headlining Wilson Ave. Chicago, Oct. 9. Ray Samuels will headline the Wil- son Avenue Theatre, Chicago, next week, this being the first time in a long period that a small-time house in that town has had a feature notable of the foremost houses.
