ANDREW GELLER , 1656 Broadway NEW YORK CITY At flat StFMf * Vi ered Wagon" ^at $1.50 top nights, and a $1.00 top for the afLemoon shows. This brings the opening of the regular season up to Sept. 16 at least, with no attraction an- nounced for that time. For the other Shubert controlled house, tiie new Missouri, last season the Cen- tury, there has been nothing defi- nitely proclaimed. There is a pos- aibility that feature pictures, at 11 top, will be given a trial, the pictures being sent In to fill open weeks. The usual speculation regarding the policy of several of the other housefLhas brought forth many ru- mors, ^vlth none confirmed. The Garden, under lease to Loew, will Quite probably be given a whirl with pictures, but on account of the lo- cation several blocks from the beaten path of the picture fans. It will take something unusual, and a large amount of publicity, to put the films over. The Grand will, It Is understood, play independent at- tractions, when they can be secured, the same as last season. This house played colored aggregations, a number of weeks last year, to some satisfactory business. The EmpresH, Bonftis ft Tammen house, across from PantnB:o.<^, la the puzzle. Popular priced vaudeville, dramatic stock, feature pictures have all been tried, without very much •satisfaction. Humors have had It that the house would be added to the Mutual burlesque string, and this may be done some- time. ■ » It has aI»o been reported that it might be released by the Kansas City Theatre organization as a ; home for the local productions, but i tills has not been confirmed. !

The Belasco. which housed Shubert vaudeville, Is now occupied by George Marshall's stock company, with no definite announcement forthcoming as to what is to be done with the house this winter. The other house, the Garrick. had a couple of stock flivvers this summer, with the closing of the flnal one bringing forth the statenaent thast the Hecht company, owners of the theatre, were to tear it down, utiliz- Ikng the ground for nn addition to their Htore.
