Agents are it their wits' ends to secure material available for the beat houses, and the con- stant cry la for more and better acts. There baa never been a season when acts have been so scarce, nor when there was auch de- mand for them, and there la hardly an agent In the city who does not have far more orders for first class acta than he can All. Every new feature is grabbed up and given Imme- diate time as soon aa Its value Is known, and atlll the cry is for more and more. It Is said by those In a position to know that there are Jess new faces and new acta In the middle West this year than for many seasons past. The "Insurgent" members of the White Rats-Actors union are preparing another Issue of their paper, and alao making ready to apply to the National Convention of the Federation of Labor for a charter aa an actors' union In Chicago.

NEW CHICAGO THEATRE. under week Sam Goldman has been ^engaged* arthe pro- ducer with this theatre, making weekly changes of Wll. Paua Le Pltre is thetirin- cl|»l ,«im*diaii, supported by Chaa. Weiss, , Ed v Gitaore 'and a company of fifteen. Thla ' hoose'baa been modernly equipped aa a home for miniature burlesque, and.has an orches- 1 tra of flye pieces. . It is announced on the authority of the management In charge of his "A Slice of Life," which Is being played with "The Girl from Hontmartre," at the Chicago Opera House, that J. M. Barrle himself will visit Chicago the first week In October. It waa fifteen years ago that he Drat came here to visit friends, and his fame rested then upon "The Little Minister", alone. The year fol- lowing it was dramatized. The opening performance ' of Margaret Anglln. In "Egypt," at the Garrlck, was post- poned from Sept 30 to Oct 1. - CARE REJOINS "LOUISIANA LOU." Alexander Carr haa made his peace with the La Salle management, and will resume hla role of the old Hebrew, In "Louisiana Lou," on Monday, Oct 7, a week before the start of the proposed long Philadelphia run of the Borkhardt-Donagbey-Jeromc piece. Carr'a return to the role that was written to fit him Is made possible by'the departure from the main touring company of Barney Bernard, who la to take up after a little while one of the name parts In "Potash and Perlmntter." Carr, on going back to "Louis- iana Lou," will hear, although he will not atng, a number of new songs. The manage- ment finds that "The Joya and the Glooms" has lost Its appeal, that "Now Am de Time" haa been made familiar throughout the coun- try by singers In the varieties, and that "1 Think Yon Think a Bit Too Much About Too Many" does not give Bessie De Yole the proper vehicle for her unquestioned skill aa a dancer. So Junle McCree Is to provide In the place of the three songs named aa many others, to be called, In the order named, "Just One Dance In Dixie, Dear," "Just Dinner Time for Me" and "Love's But a Game for You and Me.". Jerome will pro- vide' the new tones for the McCree lyrics. Frank Kaxe, of Saginaw, Mich., has ac- cepted a position aa assistant treasurer wltli the La Salle Opera House-, and la now ft valued member of the staff. - Edward Sheldon, the Chicago author of "Salvation Nell," "The Nigger," "The Boss," "Princess Zhn-ZIm," Mrs. Flake's new play, 'The High Road," and Margaret Anglln'a new vehicle, "Egypt," will replace Prof. Geo. P. Bak?r as the third Judge In the Harvard- Itadcllffe playwrltlng contest. Sheldon was once one of Baker's students at Harvard. Thomjb W. Ross and, his company left Chicago Sept. 20, to travel to Iowa City, where they dedicated a new theatre with a performance of "The Only 8on." Thla waa the third dedication for the Ross company thla aeason. Early In September Mr. Ross opened a new house at' Bellalre, Ohio, and later he broke Into use a brand-new theatre at Rockvllle, Ind. • Definite dating of Important events of the Fine Arts Theatre's first season gives this list: "The Secret of Suzanne," opening the season Sept. 30; the Marlowe Theatre Players In Brleux's "Maternity," afternoon of Nov. 13 and 16: the Colburn Playeri, Nov. 18 to 24, John Barrymore, In Schnltz- ler'a "The Affairs of Anatol," Dec. 16 to 20; the Irleh Players, Dec. 30, for four weelre; Annie Elizabeth Hornltnan's Manchester (Eng.)

The Kedzlc Annex, built on the site of the old Alrdome, adjoins the Kedile Theatre, and la 'the largest, aa well aa one. of the beat equipped tu eat res devoted exclusively to mo- tion pictures in Chicago. . Uodernly. con.' titructed ol' ateel and cement, absolutely flre-' proof, ■ with hlgh'arched' ceilings, no posts, ample exits, splendid-ventilation and cement wall screen, with a seating capacity of .800, It would be difficult to suggest any Improve- ments. The coat of erection waa $55,000, ex- clusive of the fittings and the handsome pipe organ. The house is controlled by the Kedale Amusement Co., with Sidney Smith aa the capable and active manager. A licensed film service Is used, at a cost of $100 weekly, giving patrons the/ benefit of first choice of all releases. One high class singing act, booked by the Western Vaudeville Managers' Association, la used in connection with the . three, pictures shown -at each performance. The Annex Is located next door to the mag- nificent Kedzle Theatre, as the name Indi- cates, and enjoys the patronage of the over- flow attendance from the other theatre, be- sides having a large and loyal following of. Its own. * SUCCESSFUL OPERA SEASON ASSURED. The coming opera seaaon In Chicago, which will be Inaugurated Nov. 26, will be a financial success, aa la demonstrated by the large subscription sale—the largest since the Institution of the local organization. At the present time, two months prior to the open- ing of the aeason, the sale amounts to $223,960. an increase of $24,331 over the total subscription of last year, which was $109,629, and an Increase of S8(i,552 over the first year, when but $138,407.00 was sub- scribed. It la very probable that before the curtain rises on what promises to be the moat mrllllant operatic aeason In local his- tory, $225,000 shall have been subscribed. • VAUDEVILLE HAS ADVANCED. Aaron 3. Jones In a recent Interview on the vaudeville situation in Chicago, particu- larly as relating to the smaller price houses, said: "While you hear about the great atrldca lit motion pictures and very little about the advancement of vaudeville, atlll hasn't It Improved juat as much? First In the number of people whose only amusement It Is, and the absolute change In the dress and make-up of the average act, for the rough and slapstick acts arc all gone. "Vaudeville and pictures each have their own patrons, each as critical, and despite the low prevailing prices, each must be good. The patrons nowadays do not think of the Firlcea they pay to go in a theatre'In judg- ng a show, only how good or how bad it is. Every vaudeville and picture theatre givca more value for the admission prices than any other class of show, and on that their popularity hinges. "Big feature acts are hard to get. for the number of theatree haa increased fastc" than the number of stars, the demand being greater than the supply." SHOWMAN WILL CIRCLE GLODE. Peter J. Schacfcr, member of Jones, Llnlck & Schaefer, proprietors of a chain of the- atres and other show enterprises In Chicago, will start on Oct. 19 for a tour around the world, taking with him his two huge Plerce- Arrow cars, In which he will cross Europe and much of other continents. When he lands at San Francisco next Feb- ruary, a third and still more wonderful tour- ing machine, now being especially built to his model, will await him, and he will drive It 2,000 miles on his native soil back to Chicago. With all the pre-occupatlon of a man whoae affairs Involve fortunes, Mr. Hhaefcr has, nevertheless, found time and Inclination to become one of the foremost motor enthusiasts of the world, thinking nothing of embarking on tours of thousands of miles In his giant cars. STAR IN IRISH PLAY. Gerald Griffin haa started on a tour In "The Heir to Garry Castle,* an eighteenth century musical play of Erin, well staged and costumed. In his company are: Zoe Farus- worth, L. 8. Kalb, Archie Clark, J. Barett Davis, Etta Skinner, Laura Hudson, Wilbur Martin and others. H. L. Muenrtney con- ducts the orchestra. TnoiiAB H.
