UW KRUPA AND SNYDER COMBINE INTERESTS UNDER THE NAME OF THE HAMILTON AMUSEMENT COMPANY GEORGE M. KRUPA, manager of the new Hamilton theatre, and William H. Snyder, proprietor of the Grand theatre, Lancaster, Pa., have combined interests under the name of the Hamilton Amusement Company. Negotiations have been in progress for some time. A meeting in Philadelphia consummated the deal. The company is capitalized at $100,000. Mr. Krupa is president and general manager of the company, while Mr. Snyder is treasurer. George Krupa was a pioneer in Lancaster film progress, having opened Dreamland, a small house with only 150 seats, about ten years ago. Later the capacity was increased to four hundred. Afterwards Mr. Krupa also had the Hippodrome. Mr. Snyder is a native Lancasterian, who three years ago erected the Grand theatre. All three theatres will now be under the management of Mr. Krupa.

Despite the apparent success of the strike from the union viewpoint, members of the Theatrical Managers' Association do not seem to weaken. Theatrical managers are showing stubborn fighting, and a policy that gives but little satisfaction to the strikers. The strikers, however, claim success and say that they will win in the end.
