Myron J. Kallett, lessee of the Madison Theatre, Oneida, has formed a new company which has taken title to the Oleo Theatre site, the American Hotel, the Odd Fel- lowij' Temple and the Valintcourt Bakery In Oneida. The combined site will be used for a new theatre, hotel and business block, the theatre to seat 1,500.

Syracuse's new theatrical year will be ushered in Aug. 9, when Al G. Field's Minstrels make their an- nual bow at the "Wleting. The Wle- ting's real fall schedule starts about Sept. 10, coincldentally with State Fair Week here. Early bookings include "The Fool." "Up She C5oes" and "Loyalties." Incidentally, Syra- cuse will see not a few shows this year that will pass up Rochester, which heretofore has been favored. Rochester is the scene of a. dispute over percentages that will cause not a few attractions to cut that city. A total of 11 cents, stolen from a pockotbook lost In the Liberty, Corning, was the only loot yeggs obtained when they attempted to blow the theatre safe, which con- tained $600. The blast, however, failed to tear the door of the safe from its fastenings. The theatre is located half a block from police headquarters. "I've been thrown out of better places than this," remarked John Serlo, 1«, when he was escorted un- der arrest, from the Rivoll theatre here after turning out the lights in the house. In police court Tuesday he drew a $25 fine. The fire that wiped out a million dollars worth of property at Sala- manca brought a bride to Ralph I.
