Costs were rising faster than rentals. Publicity men were, preparing to flght for a square deal for fllms. Wanted as much free space as base- ball got. Du Fonts were reported to be pre- paring to enter the raw stock biz. Tiieydid. Plenty of theatre buying and sell- ing. Wise buyers figured on the amount of Income tax paid to gauge ■value <>t buys. S. A. Lynch, bought three more theatres, bringing his Southern En-* terprises up to a 20-hou.se chain. Giis Hill back from an Inspection tour and gloomy about tho road. Railroad rates were excessive. So were backstage costs. East 14th street,, cut from ^1.50 to %1 top. To metet competition of FpX's.'City. Plaj^ng nine acts and pix. Mae West, 'late feature of 'Some- ti ',' was preparing to. resume vaudeville. Dropped out of the Co-^ lonlaj, N. T., Aug. 9, pleading Illness, and just picking it up. Single act. Act imports from Germany Were falling off; Acts thought, the dollar was worth, only BOc,. and asking salaries accordingly. Agents con- ducting a campaign of education. Mostly duThb. acts, needed for fairis. Burlesque business was even bet- ter than the preceding season, and that had been very good. Smoking only in the .balcony brought more wOmeh to'the lower flot>rs. • • American Burlesque Assn. .issued!- SI stringent order against all bare leg numbers. Meant it, too. Morris Gest reputed to be draw- ing $150,000 a week from .his three big spectacles, 'Mecca,' 'Aphrodite', and 'Chii Chin Chow.' Had $400,000 sunk In 'Mecca.' Some oif it stayed put. High railroad rat^s kept 'Ben Hur* off the road. It had been touring 20 years. In rehearsal when disbanded. 50 YEARS AGO rom Clipper) Mc'NlSh, Johnson and Slavln's min- strels attended a performance oC LiiesteF and Alien's minstrels in a body at St. Louis. Knocked the show cold, but John L, Sullivan made a hit In his alleged classical poses. Cola Stone, trick oycllst, waH buried in St, Louis.' Most of the mourners followed tlu hearse on. bicycles. Some of the dime museums weht for two theatres and two shows. Sam Bernard was tho star at Drew's museum, New Haven. Pedestal clog dancer with a min- strel show was the victim of an odd accident In Clnclnnatus, N. T. Stage was low, and he caught his feet in the flies as he turned a somersault, faHlng to the stage. Three bibwdows In one week something of a record. Barnum at Tltusville, Pa.; Van Amburg, at Meadsville, and Robblns, Martins- burg, W. Va. Apparently the same storm; Only minor casualties at all three. Barnum was suing the Hartford Globe, which had printed a dispatch to the effect that Barnum had de- Iberately caused the death of Jumbo as a press stunt. Paper flred the correspondent and suit off. D'Oyly Carte's 'Mlkiado' troupe gave a gala performance with Sir Arthur Sullivan leading the orches- tra. Prices upped to $2.50 for that nlg^t. Arthur Wing Pinero oyer to rei- hearse the Daly Co. in his 'The Mag* istrate.' Managers were pleasia.ntly sur- prised at the improvement in busi- ness at the N. Y. houses. Hoped the panic was over. Times had been tough. Still poor on the road. Jefferson .theatre, Keith house on Clipper published the routes of 334 companies. Largest number ever. There were 238 dramatic shoiws and 34 musicals. Louis James blew out of th^ Bar- rett Co. Couldn't get along with Barrett. Latter- wiEis sore About James' announced starring tqyit the following year. Mrs, Jameis (Tijkrte Wain Wright) remained as Bat^ett'0 leading woman. Vaude in La Crosse Chicago, pet. 8. Majestic at LaCrosse, Wis., opens with vaude Oct. 19 on a Saturday and Sunday policy. House will be booked through the local Boyle'3*~ Woolfolk office. Albee Sisters spotted to head the initial llne'-up. "^OECESTEE GETS BUELEY Worce.'jter, Mass., Oct. 8.
