While Frlnt George la pursuing his appar- ently useleM way In the direction of crashing into coast vaudeville for the Western Vaude- ville Managers' Association and while Bert Levey Is busy checkmating his moves, the Western States Vaudeville Association is sit- ting quietly in the background and smiling complacently with an "ace in the hole." The W. 8. V. A. has been doing a little effective scouting of its own during the last few weeks and when the Los Angeles "Hip" opens a month hence, Oeneral Manager Sam Harris declares he will be prepared to announce a very material increase in their present list of houses. The Klnemacolor pictures will open a sum- mer season next week at the Columbia. The initial subjects are to be the "Balkan War" and "Panama Canal." "Quo Vadis" is prom- ised for the succeeding subject If the healthy business done here by Nasl- mova on her second week at the Columbia and by "Everywoman" at the Cort Is the criterion by which to judge, there are a lot of "legit" show patrons still In town. The meagre attendance at the performances re- cently of "The Red Widow" and "Hanky Panky" would seem to Indicate, on the other hand, that the theatregolng absentees are in the main devotees of the song showa Stockton is pretty certain to be a link in the extended chain of the Western States Vaudeville Association next season, when the latter is expectfd to supply the attractions for a new theatre that will be opened there In September in opposition to the Oarrick, now booked by Bert Levey. The seating ca- pacity will run close to 1,000. The proprietor and manager is N. L. Watton. formerly the partner of Manager Smith of the Oarrick. Joe Jackson, the riotous funmaker of the Qrphcum circuit, had a worthy rival for com- edy honors here last week at the Empress in the person of "Bob" Archer. Both offer a convulslngly funny routine and it is a toss-up which of them Is the biggest hit. Late reports are plainly indicative of Alex Pantages, or someone In his employ, being ac- tive again in the work of tying up the acts on his circuit so as to prevent them from playing for the other coast circuits or at least not until they have been first put to a lot of inconvenience and transportation ex- Ptense. The Pantages circuit beyond San Diego is now limited to the ona week In Denver, the Pueblo and St. Joe houses both being closed. Last week the Temple Quartet were compelled to go from San Diego to Denver, and the La Bergere dog posing act will have to take the same dose when It reaches San Diego a week or so hence, al- though both Attractions could open on the Bert Levey time immediately if at liberty to have done so. Whenever there is any dis- agreeable or unpleasant work to be done, Pantages Invariably assigns it to one of his "Friday" lieutenants, and last week Man- ager Charles L. Cole, the circuit represen- tative In this city, was delegated to advise the Levey ofHces that a court Injunction might be expected If either of the above-mentioned acts were played here before first working the final Pantages week at Denver. It is un- derstood that both acts are planning to re- turn here for Levey in spite of the fact that the jump back from Denver means a heart- breaking outlay of cash for carfares and an expense that would seem to be unnecessary if Manager Pantages had a humanely soli- citous feeling for his acts and a business- like regard for the reputation of his circuit. Disposing of the effect, the cause of the predicament that -these two acts find them- selves in is not the result of any new move on the Pantages checkerboard. Prom all ac- counts there has simply been a llftle renewed activity somewhere up north, presumably in and about the circuit headquarters at Seattle, in getting the acts "tied up" to some sort of agroemont that mnkrs It legally compulsory for them to play the Denver week before openlni? on any other time. This the two acts referred to appear to have gotten en- tani^led with and now there seems to be no alternative but to play the hand out. "Princess Chick" Is scheduled to follow "lolanthe" at the Tivoll Opera House Just AS soon as San Franciscans show a disposi- tion to tire of the Gilbert and BulllTan opera. The latter composition was first sung away back in the "SO's" at the old Baldwin theatre, when Lillian Russell was the "Phyllis" of the cast. Townsend Walsh, the energetic pilot of "The Witness for the Defense," spent the ma- jor portion of last week and the week before in this city, singing the praises of Blanche Bates and her supporting company at the Columbia. The metal framework of the new Anderson Gaiety theatre in O'Farrell street, this city, is about complete. John Delmore Is back from the east for the summer, and while visiting his folks Is utilising his spare time framing up a new act for next season. Will McKensle, the new manager of the Savoy, has returned from a week's trip to Los Angelea LOS ANGELES By GARDNER BRADFORD.

Oliver Morosco arrived In Los Angeles June 27 with something over SO playa more than half new, for summer and fall production. The Lyceum has reopened as the Los An- geles home of Morosco's new venture, which will be a chain of picture houses on the coast and extending as far east as Chicago. VA- RIETY exclusively announced the Incorpora- tion of the concern more than a month ago. Harry .Iam«s. formerly musical director for Kolb and Dill has been engaged in the same capacity to put on "Mme. Sherry" at the Bur- bnnk. and Is now engaging his chorus. If the Idea takes, other musical comedies will follow. Laurie Ordway will appear here at Pan- tages July 14 headlining the bill. She Is now fully recovered. Bert Levey has been in San Diego, sup- posedly to complete arrangements for a house there. "The Yellow Jacket," put on here for the first time as a stock show, has scored so heavily It will continue at the Morosco.
