Aere la divided opinion In re- gard to the action of the Empire Amnsemiuit Company leasing tlie idd Parle Theatre for its bnrlesqne becaose of the op-town location. In the stock ranks there Is no question bnt that the Orpheom Players at the Chestnut St. Theatre, who are forging ahead to the 300th week record under the management of Grant Laferty, will repeat previous saccess.

The Brandeis is considered one of the best-built and bandaomeat bonses to be fOimd west ot Mew lork City. The new Boyd, after an expenditure of $25,- 000, is much more attractive lAan In past yesra, and can be compared favorably with any first, class theatre anywhere in a city mnch larger than this. The Gayety, which waa formerly built f'-r stock pnrposes, is a very a ttra ctive place and an outlay of considerable money lias greatly Im- proved Ita appearance thla sesson. Tbe Kmg, wliera the Stair ft Hsrlln attrac- tlons .formerly appeared, has also been gceatly improved during the laat few weeka and is mote attractive than the average burlesque honse. The Orpbeom la one of the Circuit's moat at- tractive places of amnaement, and It has always be^n their policy to make it more attractive each year. The American Mnalc Hall, bnllt last sea- son, is another place of amusement that any dty eoold be prond of: Now, with flrst-claaa tiieatres and the best attrsotlons on tbe load to appear In them, the onl- question that might arise is, can a city of Omaha's aixe anniort six theatres with a large nnml}er of moving picture honSes, all catering to business? However, looking into the fnture. It wonid be a very peasimlstle per- son who would not predict Omaha one of tlie best theatre towns In the country. Omaha is now nationally recognized as one' of the best towns In the Middle West, and where we had to be eontenf vritfa a one and two-night fttands from the b*? attractions a -few years sgo, Omaha now reeeivea Uberal stsys of from three to seven dsya from stellar attractions. Where we received bnt a handful of -the big hlta of tbe year In other years, we now have a full season of the best on tbe toad. -. Taking Into consideration- onr - marveloiia ptogreSB In the commer^ Bne, and. with a population of over 1TS,000 people to draw from, the writer believes the prospects are.-Hrlgfat for one of the best seasona In tbe .lilatory of the thestrleal buainess la this dty. Bnt to fore- cast the coming seanm la problematleal. and «m~ only will tell whetbrr Omaha can and will support as many theatres as we have at the present time. The msnagers of tlie different honses sre very enthnsiaatic over tiie prospects of a big aea- son snd the outlook appeara very good for a fine, aeaaoa of dramatic entertainment. H. J. BOOT. MEMPHIS, TENN. (Contlnoed from page 12.) ■ is now under .lease to tlie Jake Wells Bijoio In- terests, under tile local . msnagement of«Ben M. Stalnback, who ba> represented the Bijou Interests In Menqihls ever since the cirenlt was fanned. - Mr. tstalnback baa an amy at attractions, be aays, that mean crowded bouses right thronglL-the-season.; The I<yric take* the place of t&e> Old' Bljoo, which waa. burned to tbe gronndittkt''aiiniig, and will play tbe same class of -attractions which made .tile Old Bijou a household: fword in Memphis, Tbe^Ziyric opened on Snnday;~ September 8. with Baynond Payne In Tbe Millionaire Kid, and a good company. Besldce the usual class of sttractiona played ever the Bijou Cirenlt, the lorric has also booked a number of tlie Rlaw dc Erlanger sne- eeisea for vreek itands,. Inelndlng tncb plays aa The Third Degree. The Uon and the Mouse, and others of that high class. Max Fablsb, manager of the Orphenm, prom- ises tile best vaudeville tbe Etoath lias ever seen at bla popular playhouse. Mr. Fablnh sprat the summer in tbe Bast and held a consultation with Martin Beck Just before returning t» Memphis. The Orpbeom has lieea refurnished througtiout during the summer, witfa new seats, new cariKiS, new scenery, snd Is as bright and. handsome a playhonse as can be foimd on the Orphenm Circuit. Mr. Fablsb, coming here nnitnown to the general public three seasons ago. has established himself as possibly the most potmiar manager who ever made Memphis ills home. The policy of tbe Orpbeam Circuit Is well known. Tills season we are promlaed bllla of even higher merit than ever before. The aeaaon opened with a great btil on I.abar Day, September 4. with' Alacklyn Arbackle aa the beadllner. There is no longer any' oppo- sition in the world of vaudeville and tbls In- sares Memphis a sight of some of the stars wbo. were barred from the Orpbenm la former years-. ABTSOB J. FOBB^.

Former Besident Manager John F. Bnrke Is still under the P. F. Shea banner, as managar ot tbe Park Theatre In Brldgepwt. Conn. For ten yeara Mr. Burke baa catered to tbe Worcester public, three yeaxs aa manager oX the old Park Theatre on Front Street, and the remalmler divided between the Worcester. and- the Franklin Square.

All the motion picture honaea have received their fnll quota ot patronage, tbe cool weather that we are-'now experiencing serving to add to the continuation Of crowded honses.
