VARIETY NEWARK TO HAVE LOEW SHOWS; CIRCUIT TAKES MAJESTIC THERE Will Oppose Keeney's and Proctor's. Reported Loew Gets House 50-50 On Net Profits with Landlord. Also Goes Into Several New England Towns, for Booking. Newark, N. J., Dec. 2. The Loew Circuit will operate the Majestic theatre commencing Dec. 21, if the agreement now drawn for the transfer goes through. The Loew people are doing business direct with the landlord of the house. It is un- derstood Loew pays certain fixed charges, dividing the net profits equally with the owner. The house has had several policies since opening. The Majestic is located about seven blocks from Keeney's, also playing vaudeville. According to understand- ing a question will arise regarding Harry A. Shea continuing to book Keeney's bills, as Mr. Shea also books acts with the Loew Circuit. F. F. Proctor also operates pop vau- deville in Newark. The Empress, Danbury, and Hoyt's, So. Norwalk, Conn., are now being booked through Abe Feinberg, of the Loew agency. TANGUArS THROAT ALL RIGHT.

McMahon, proprietor of the former Keeney's theatre, got riled Nov. 30 when Paul Doti, leader of a band of musicians playing the McMahon house last week, stated in court the show man had not given him his full salary. McMahon tried to have Police Chief Rawlings arrest Doti on a perjury charge and the latter's refusal to jail the musician resulted, it is alleged, in McMahon landing a blow with his fist upon the chief's chest. Doti said he was booked here by Freeman Bernstein, of New York. His 15 musicians were contracted to play McMahon's house for $250 for the week. He says he was "impelled" to board at the Hotel Bronson for $75. Doti alleges the first rub came when $25 was deducted because he (Doti) was not going to work the following formed the Court McMahon told him ten per cent, would be taken out for the booking agent's commission. Doti added McMahon said that it was im- possible for him (McMahon) to board the troupe for $75 a week and that $7 additional for each man would be asked. McMahon, according to Doti, took out $2 or $3 for baggage. Doti's share after all deductions was $95. Doti and McMahon argued for three hours, the former finally getting a check for $90, a five-spot being lost somewhere between talk jabs. SIG. SAUTELLE BANKRUPT. Syracuse, Dec. 2.
