Garrity, general manager for the Shuberts, expressed in stat- Ijag the show can stick with a profit if the loose expenditures were checked. The Garrick show made a gain of $700 in the week's receipts as against a loss of $160 by its competitor, "The Hotel Mouse," at the Apollo, over the previous week's business. The Garrick at- traction made its gain during an- other turmoil of managerial upris- ings. "For Goodness Sake" was forced to withstand $2,000 loss with its week's gross because of out- standing bills, which are now cleared. With the slicing of un- necessary expenses and the busi- nesslike method of managerial strategy now existing, "For Good- ness Sake" will turn out a profit this week If the present gait con- tinues. The new management will bring the Garrick show a profit of $9,000 weekly gross. The inside facts gov- erning the loose expenditures easily prove why the organization ran short of money to such startling amounts. As the disclosure of the inside manipulations of "For Goodness Sake" became public property via attorneys* actions and sidewalk chatter with members of the com- pany who are sticking, the whole method in the organizing of "For Goodness Sake" made qld-timers weep with tears of laughter. "Family connections" were favored at enormous expense and such in- cidents as "directress for the bal- let," "understudy for the chorus girls" and "expenses for social ne- cessities" were encountered in the expense of the organization dur- ing Its losing periods. They were quickly challenged by the Pough- keepsie banker upon his arrival for a first peep at the weekly state- ment. Let the whole "For Goodness Sake" situation pass off with the mere mention that it was a "cuckoo" and the Poughkeepsie man admitted he now knows how it feels to be An "angel." "The Hotel Mouse" started off last week with a crackerjack Sun- day night's business of slightly under $3,000. It was a lucky grab for the Apollo attraction, for there were decreases in the grosses dur- ing the Week and the week's gross fell short of the previous week's gross by the above-mentioned $160. The Apollo is featuring $2 seats at night and $1.50 prices for mid- week matinee, a help In the com- petition with "For Goodness Sake," holding a stiff $2.50 scale for nights and a stiff $2 scale for the July 4 matinee, as well as Saturday's matinee. At the Cort "Her Temporary Husband" rallied for the premiere (Sunday) with a record 6 to 8 p. m. window sale, reaching $1,575 for an opening gross. The news- papers offered their only dissenting opinions on the lack of study of the cast, which was as It should have been, for "that nervous premiere" carried off a ribbon all its own. William Cpurtenay's popularity is right for a siimmer clientele at the Cort, and the first week turned out a profit, for the show is tabbed sensibly for summer expenses. "Llllom" is no longer at the Great Northern. This play went into the role of "pinch-hitting" for the Garrick with the unsettled state of affairs surrounding "For Good- ness Sake." The Shuberts were holding "Llllom" In town to turn over to the Garrick in case of an abrupt ending of "For Goodness Sake," but the latter's difficulties HATIOHAl '^S'oWlf^RTAS'T^urj The CAT and The CANARY Matinees Wed. and Satl For particulars, apply to any yARIETY OFFICE AMERICA'S 'ORCMOST THEATRES AND HITS.—Oirsetles.

Direction MARK LEVY somewhat cleared Saturday, so "Liliom" is now in the storehouse. With "Llllom's" exit came the sharpest of all recent sharp Shep- pard Butler's remarks in "The Trib- une' about theatrical mismanage- ment, carrying, among a lengthy reference, this paragraph: "No doubt there were good reasons for all this ('Liiliom's* departure), and whether there were or not is no concern of yours or mine. But it was rather a melancholy Instance of what sometimes happens to good plays after they have left the foun- tainhead of all wisdom, New York. At least, if some future historian finds occasion to observe that Chi- cago neglected 'Liliom,* let It be recorded that it was not entirely Chicago's fault." The critic's eulogy featured the disappearance of Eva Le Gallienne and Harold de Becker from the cast when Chicago was giving "Liliom" record-breaking business. "Just Married," greatly helped by novel advertising Ideas, went slight- ly over $10,000, giving another fat profit. Powers interests have been left wholly in the hands of John Mooney, for the syndicate theatre offices are closed for vacations, and Just how sudden "Lilies of the Field' will again close and reopen, such as now has featured the Powers attraction for two consecutive weeks, rests with Mooney's judgment. It will be a great addition for a marker for "the book" if "Lilies, of the Field" does survive three weeks more. Operating expenses now as- sure profit for both company and house with gross of $4,000. Last week's estimates: "Liliom" (Great Northern, eighth and final week).

Many complications still remaining to be solved, so length of stay is uncertain. Highest gross yet, with $8,940. ''Just Married" (LaSalle). $600 Saturday matinee made it hard pulling for $10,000 for week, but eventually did squeeze it, anchor- ing at $10,075.
