The final preparations for the Screen Club's flrBt annual ball to be held at the Coliseum Saturday night, November 28, have been com- pleted. Five of the downtown cafes have been granted dancing, but the long list of restric- tions which accompanies the nrlvllege makes the cabaret proprietors enforce a strictness never before used. ness prevailed In the office of the agents and producers. Perhaps this was due to it being Thanksgiving week, but it looks as though the present conditions have got the managers, agents, producers and performers all guessing. it Is said that two or three parties are considering the future possibilities of the Savoy and have even gone so far as to enter negotiations with a view of opening the house some time In December. While nothing defi- nite can be learned, the rumor comes from such a source it looks as though there might be something In it. Manager Bauer, of the Wigwam, has en- gaged Charles Alphln to furnish the bills and direct the productions of the new Wigwam Musical Comedy "tab" company, which was organized to replace the Carter Co., which closed there Saturday night, Nov. 28.

Several of the pop priced" combination houses In the outlying districts report busi- ness lsym the Increase. This Is due to the result or the recent election determining that the state remain wet. so the managers claim. The sudden appearance of "Rube" Welch on the rlalto one day last week started a fresh hatch of rumors about the American theatre. So far nothing has been learned about the attraction slated to open the house. A few weeks back it was said that both Bob Fargo and "Rube" Welch were each negotiating to furnish the opening show, but now It seems that the policy of the house has not been de- termined on, which, of course, prevents the management from making any announcements. Fred Butler, who has been stage director nt the Alcazar for years, will not go on tour with Pennison's "Damaged Goods" company as first planned. Mr. Butler will stay here while the role he was to play In the pro- duction will be filled by Norman Hammond. Purine his engagement at the Cort In "When Dreams Come True."
