Theatri- cal interests are at a loss to com- pletely account for the condition, particularly 1^ view of the fact that the stock conii»an4«s charge 11 and 11.50 top prices, whereas the highest picture admlssioti in town is 40 cents. A way to beat the Indiana blue law has been found and Is t>eing used by J. C. Robertson, nuinaK«r of the A.-Muse-U picture theatre at Hope, Ind. When Robertson first tried to open up on Sunday evening the three churches were succcKfiful In blocking him. The following Sunday evening Robertson put a sign acrcss the front of his place reading, "Please donate, as we are selling no ticketa." The large crowd which attended gave the venture splendid support, a number of per- sons donating far moro than the regular admission price. The re- formers could not interfere because, according to the general interpreta- tion of the Indiana Sunday closing law It Is the operation of amuse- ments where admission is charged which Is prohibited. ^ Preliminary certificate of dissolu- tion has been filed with the Secre- tary of State by the Grand Theatre Co. of Bicknell. versary, and Electric Park, where the "Follies of '21" is proving the greatest drawing card ever ofCered by the park management. At the Kmpress the "Midnight Whirl" company Is about breaking even, {{ut is making a host of friends, and will soon commence to see some profits with any kind of a weather break. The chorus has been trimmed to 12, but the dozen are making the numbers snappy and the other four are not missed. The Brown Brothers Saxophone Six and the Lachmann Sisters arc t>ooked to open at Electric Park July 2. An ordinance barring picture theatres from residential blocks in ICansas City was passed by the City Commisaioners. The ordinance makes it a misdemeanor to estab- lish or operate such a theatre In any block unless at least one-third of the property Is occupied for busi- ness purposes. BKN DWORBTT.

Jazz Revue" opened a six-day en- gagement at the Century last week, with the prices fixed at 12.20 for the best seats. The show wae brought here under, it is understood, a $6,000 guarantee, which with the rent of the house and the advertising, would run the expense up to around $8,500. The manager of the sheet music department of one of the leading music stores of the city pro- moted the engragement and will mif- fer a heavy loss, as the prices kept most of the colored population away and the others did not fall for the show. After Monday the prices were cut to $1.10, but business failed to materialize. In addition to Mamie Smith and her six jazz players, the show consisted of four other acts, all colored. The pro- gi*am stated that the tour was un- der the direction of the Standard Amusement Co. of New York. It Is claimed that the show got $1,900 the Saturday night before the open- ing here.

In previous years I the band at Electric Park gave work to some 30 or 40 who played in the theatres during the regular season. This year, however, with the "Fol- lies" taking the place of the t>and, there is nothing steady for the boys, and some of the old-timers have gone to Dallas and other cities. It is anticipated that things will pick up when the- season opens again, as the new Pnntages will use a full complement of men, and the Or- pheum's new "MnlnHtreet" will use a double set of musicians. The Palace, one of the oldest pic- ture houses in the downtown dis- trict, has gone back to the old origi- nal scale of prices and ia featuring its 6 and 10-cent admission. The big revue put on last week by the Newman theatre in honor of its second anniversary will be held over for the second week. This was done last season and business held up almost as well as the first week; hence the duplication of the affair this season. been following the picture policy during the warm weather for four seasons. The Carnegie Tech Drama stu- dents gave a commendable pix)duc- tion of "As You Like It" in the In- stitute's outdoor theatre, several critics declaring the presentation the best ever shown here. This school has contributed a goodly number of artists to the professional stage, and the current roster will more than likely do its share. Bushman and Bayne are headlin- ing at the Davis and getting a healthy pstronage. The stars are well liked here, having made a fa- vorable impression in their appear- ance last year at the Pitt. John T. Hoffman, theatrical man in Morgantown. W. Va., has left that field to go into another business. Mr. Hoffman was treasurer of the Grand theatre in 1906, and except for three years when he was treas- urer at the Swisher, has been con- nected with the Grand.

PITTSBURGH By COLEMAN HARRISON The Urger film houses, which in the last few seasons have been en- joying successful summer months, report a falUng-off this year. Labor shortage and general hard times ap- pear to be the causes. Marjorie Lyons, local girl who ap- peared List wlih "Maytinifc," wiU shortly enter picture work. The Nixon will open next week Tor "Dream Street," The house has "The Four Horsemen" closed at the Shubert Pitt after seven weeks. The Kenyon, on the north side, and the Park, In Lawrenceville, are presenting tab shpws and pop vaudeville acts recruited from the local agencies. An unusually promising summer along the camp front in Oakmont will Ukely mean several high class entertainments in which local pro- fessionals will be prominent figures. Nat Rodgers. Elmer Setzlor, Gene Laughlin, Joe Gerlach, Charley Dia- mond, Blaine Snyder, Elnor Savage and the rest will all likely take part! The threatened destruction of the Duquesne, one of the oldest legiti- mate playhou.^es in the ciij-, will Ukely not tnke place for many years to come.
