The first gun was sounded last Saturday in Wilmington, Del., when articles of incorporation were filed by the United theatres securities company. This concern includes all the big vaudeville interests east of the Mississippi, with the exception of William Morris. The big company was organized, it is stated, to head off the threatened invasion of the eastern field by the San Francisco Orpheum circuit. This will leave Morris and the Orpheum, who will be rivals in the local field, to cope with a common adversary in the east. It was announced a few weeks ago that Martin Beck, the manager of the Orpheum circuit, was in the east planning to carry his circuit all the way to New York. Heretofore the Orpheum has confined itself to the western field, acting in harmony with Keith & Proctor, one of the biggest vaudeville concerns in the east. When Keith & Proctor learned that the Orpheum was to enter the eastern field as a rival they proceeded to unite all eastern vaudeville houses to repel the invasion. The result was the organization of the United Theatre Securities company. The incorporators of this gigantic syndicate are : B. F", Keith, F. V. Proctor, E. F. Albee, William Hammerstein and P. G. Williams of New York, M. Shea of Buffalo and Toronto, James H. Moore of Detroit and Rochester, Harry Davis of Pittsburg James C. Duffield of the Canadian circuit, A. Paul Keith, S. Z. Poli of Springfield and H. B. Chase of Washington. It is against this combination and William Morris that the Orpheum will find its opposition if it invades the Eastern field. g|3timesaday Chicago-Kansas City AND POINTS EAST EASTERN EXPRESS Leave San Francisco, 7:15 a. m.

Dick himself plays the rounder and is a big hit. Kathcrine Merley docs the fiery, short speech woman, with great success, and Al Watson shows his cleverness by presenting a most amusing Dutchman. Adelaide Keith, the new soubrctte, is a magnetic, hard working little woman and her success is positive in the part of the show girl. Chas. Wagner, Billy Vest and Phennie Edwards hold up their ends well. The vaudeville section comprises Kradwell, juggling on the unicyclc and slack wire; Arnold Duo, gymnasts; George the First, the clever monkey; Frank Clark, a finished and high class monologist; and Josephine Connelly, in illustrated songs. Capt. Nat Ressler & Co. THE MILITARY STARS, PRESENTING THE WORLD'S FAMOUS REVOLVER SCENIC ACT GEORGE LAUDER First American Tour Australia's Foremost Ventriloquist, with His Life Size Mechanical Figures. Fay Carranza has a sweet and mellow soprano voice, well cultivated and attractively employed in a repertoire of ballads. There is distinction to her work and a certain subtle youth fulness to her tones which lend charm to her act. The Los Angeles has had several good musical numbers within recent memory, but none better than this. — Los Angeles Herald. Maude Rockwell and Blossom Seeley are singing at Levy's Cafe in Los Angeles.
