Variety (December 1914)

5Z VARIETY Amalgamated Vaudeville Agency B. S. MOSS, President and General Manager 40 \A/ E E K S Some Xmu Tree! It Lasts All Year! Everybody Grab Off a present! Big timers and Small timers. Big managers and small managers. 1,784 acts played the combined circuit last year, Including repeats. Every well-known performer knows where the towns and houses are. We don't make a habit of publishing the locations because we don't care Jo have to fight excess competition. We added nine towns to the routes within the last three months. We expect to add nine more within the next three months. We play anything and anybody with a punch. Novelty Is our middle name. Theatre patrons who used to believe that Broadway was the only place one could find ultra fine vaudeville in New York are among our patrons now at the Hamilton, Jefferson, Mth Street, McKlnley Square and Plaxa theatres in New York. In certain sections of Pennsylvania and New York State we are held in an esteem locally that approximates the standing of the Palace and Ham- merstein's in Manhattan. There's no limit to what we will pay fora limited number of weeks for big acts in houses where we have the capacity. We are not afraid to take a chance with something merely because it is new. We play more big acts on our combined time In the east. Including New York City, than any other affiliation promoting varieties of the first class in the same sections. For the profit of artists and owners of theatres east of Chicago who may be seeking booking combinations we would suggest Immediate correspondence. We have at present the fastest growing organisation of all the newer consolidations, and we are as ambitious as Caesar plus Napoleon. We rarely play more than three shows per day in many of our houses and extra big acts or stars encumbered with heavy acce esoriee are only asked to play two times per. We have a specially attractive grab-bag, chock full of acts of all sorts for the opening weeks of the New Year, but we can use as many more, providing they have novelty, authority and quality. Acts and performers with comic angles without vulgarity, and dramatic acts and players, as well as unique conceits and novelties with a sensation can invariably get immediate booking with us for not less than 29 weeks with uninterrupted repeats for the same period. We aim in our policies to furnish super attractive stage diversion of a vaudeville character to the) Intelligent adult and the fun-loving juvenile. In composing our programs we always keep in mind the fact that in all our houses all the time we are not appealing at any time to any single member of a home, but always to THE WHOLE FAMILY. Because of the expansion of our business we have just been forced to take an extra floor of offices. If you are interested in any angle of what we are doing let us hear from you. P.
