Managers and Agents Seeking a Genuine Novelty, Address RUSH LING TOY CARE BOB BAKER, 423 PUTNAM BUILDING. NEW TURK First Open Date, December 8 could wing another bouse bere easily and is cutting Into tbe National bouse deeply, tbe location of tbe latter (a Keith project) hurt- ing it. There will be two openings next week. "The Purple Road" coming to tbe Shubert to suc- ceed "All for the Ladies" and the long de- ferred opening of tbe Hollls Street coming with "The Sunshine Oirl." The HoUis should do a good business as Manager Rich has adopted a policy of musical productions after last season's unfortunate box office to- tals, dark periods and early closing. The following week "Joseph and His Breth- ren" comes Into tbe Boston where they should do a big business at a $1 scale and tbe un- explained announcement of George Cohan him- selt In "Broadwa;- Jonen" Is made for the Colonial. The Bowdoln Square Is reaping a harvest under .Manager Latbrop's innovation of two weeks ago giving a bill of a dozen acts and practically every night a "special" either for amateurs, c-onteHtH, piano playing and other features. ■ John Craig, of the Castle Square stock who offers a $.'i<»0 prize and royalties every year for a first piny from the pen of a Harvard man or Kadcliffe woman, has closed this year's content and the submitted playe are in the hands of the Judges for consideration, it will be produced In mld-wlnter. Craig's previous winners have been "The End of the Bridge," "The Product of tbe Mill" and "Be- lieve Me, Xantlppe." He bas never picked a loser and reaps a fat profit for himself after all expenses have been cleared. Next week he will offer "The Ninety and Nine." Doris Olsson, John Craig's leading lady, pending the return of Mary Young (Mrs. CraiR) from the "Hellevo Me, Xantlppe" en- gagement. Is winning much favor.
