"Notwithstanding oft. repeated assertions und Indignant denials, it appears to be understood that the so-called 'vaudeville war' will shortly end and that the hostilities which have enlivened the columns of the newspapers will U- impended. That this conclusion will be welcome to, the managers engaged In the rivalry is not to be doubted, and that the contest was unfortunate for both sides Is easily manifested by the willingness with whieh an understanding lias been readied. "To the patrons of vaudeville, those who like that sort of thing, the entertainments of the last five years have been eminently satisfactory. Nobody has ever complained at a first-class vaudeville house that he was not getting the worth of his money, and the constant accession to the vaudeville ranks of men and women who have won popularity and distinction on the legitimate stage has maintained a standard that was generally creditable. Assuming that the managerial agreement leaves matters as they were several months ago, there is no good cause for complaint. At tnat time the good salaries and opportunities for work proved helpful both to the actor and the vaudeville business, and there was never any trouble in giving an entertainment perfectly ac- ceptable to the thousands of amusement seekers who enjoy a variety of diversion. "So, save to the occasional 'star' who has hern raised to unusual ami unexpected prominence, ami who has commanded a salary sadly out of proportion to merits possessed, the end of this merry war will be in no sense a calamity. It may be suggested that possibly the vaudeville busi- ness has been a trifle overdone and that the return of ambitious venturers to their regular fields of activity will rather prove a blessing than misfortune." CHICAGO. ILLINOIS THE THREE FINEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL VAUDEVILLE HOUSES IN AMERICA "THE EMINENTLY SATISFACTORY VAUDEVILLE" referred to by the Chicago Tribune will be offered in the future as in the past and under the same direction at the Majestic, Haymarket and Olympic theatres. The management, after keeping faith with the Chicago and West- ern public for twenty years, will continue to offer all the desirable vaudeville stars. It is the intention to present, at all times, bills of uniform excel- lence at the very lowest prices for which great and beautiful theatres and costly bills can be afforded. Any pretense of more attractive average bills anywhere is nonsense. When answering advertisement* kindly mention Variety.
