When Baby Mine waa taken away from tne mIS^ Tbeatre to entertain the patrons of Sl^S?rlc?U made way for the production of Harry Aakln Is In command. Tbe old play was interpreted by a cast of players whose names flittered with tbe lustre of famr. The glitter, owever, was not audlclent even to please tkw tbe real mainstays of the tlon. "all-atar" aggrega- A mnsleal comedy by Ocorge Broadhnrst Is to follow Jim, the Penman, at the Grand. TIM la bared on Broadhnrst's famous farce. What Happened to Jones. Some of the prominent plax- era wbo are expected by Manager Askin are JtaL FIsfcp, Gertrude Elliott and Margaret Anglln. Th« City la to be at tbe^ Grand sometime this seastm' aceonlliig to tlie achednle. Over on tbe'.West Side thedd Haymarfcet Theatre has returned again to legitimate ranks. William Roche, who n-slgns over tbe theatrical territory In that quarter of the city la at tbr Baymarket helm. The Bed Mill was the first attraction to come In under the new policy. Tbe BIJoa Theatre hooses a stoek company and tbe Academy caters to Its public witb vande- Tllle. The story baa gone the ronnds to tlw etTect that W. F. Mann eootemplates transferring, bis base of operstlons to New Tork. Also Dame Rumor la authority for a similar mention of H. B. Fraxee's name. It la to be hoped lliat these two local prodncera will not make • change of location. We agree with oor eateemed'! friend. WlU Seed Ounnnr, that "It ts sneh news a» '. this that giTcs Chicago a Uack eye aa a pro- dnclng center." We TOte ajrain wItb Dunroy In his remark. "Chicago la discriminating. New York Is not. Moat anything will go In the Eastern metrop. oils, as witness some of the fearful and frlicht- fnl things that bare cbme on bere with big New- York runs to their credit. Chicago will cotton right np to a really merltorlons pisy. as wttneas- Tbe Fortune Hunter, bat It will not take np wltb tbe inanities tbat appear to plesae the addlepated hordes at Gotham. Now we hare outlined aa far as Is possible the plays which will In sU prabablllty be wt <» view at Chicago tbis seaaon. Some of these bookings may prove of aocb Interest and draw- ing power as to carry them along In extended engagements which wtll freexe ont some other of the probabilities. Others may Oannt Into town with a Broadway record and be turned cold by audleneea who put "money's worth" and true merit aimve a mannfactnred repnta'tlon. In Instances of this sort, the schedule wonld be advanced and room made for prodnctlons which are now "dark horses." Then there la tbe political angle to this great theatrical game. Henry Savage's The Wife Tamers, at the play- house where for so long Mort Singer held un- disputed sway. Tbe Princess Is now under the wing of the Shnberts. Also the appearance of T*e Wife Tamera Is material evldmce of the alllllatlon of Mr. Savage with the "open door" faction. Just bow long tbe present occupant of the Prlncesa wUl be at thhi atand we may not Inat mw advisedly aUte. Alao tbe future book- ing ot thIa houae la largely a matter of coo. Jectnre. We prefer therefore, to make mention of these plana later and defer their pnbllcatloa for a iDbieqaent isane of this paper. , BIchanr Carle had mnch to do wltb the pro- duction of Jumping Jnnlter, which la Oyiiic the f>aiae-Udeter coloni at the Oort TheatT*.

The. revival ot Jim the Penman, which ec^nrred at the Grand Opera Rouse, was not an mthnalastlc sncceaa. It waa the harbinger ot ■be tlieatflctl setHn at th« ihow shop wbetc dramatic editors.

Theodore Roberta and John Maaon were title ot the new-comer la The Otit and the Drum- mer. August Batratt baa famished the muatc for the piece and advance notices ot it lead «a to anticipate it with mnch pleaaatc. TUs play Tbe productions are bnt chess men. The whole map of the United States is the board. The Shnberls nnl tlfir allies are pitted against the strong Klaw & Brianger battle front. These two fiowertnl factints are the players- They WlU move the prodncttons as their JndgmcBt and interests elect. The entire sriiednle and program of theatrical events are aabject to their direction. Anyway It ts an tntetcsting situation. Something ia alwaya doing aaa aomebody Is always being done.
