THE STAGE,


city some three years ago, but unfortunately 1t
amounted only to talk. In view OF the fact,
however, that all our theatres intend to run
combinations and stars next season, It is prob
able that one OF our managers 1nay have realized
what wepointed out some dime ago,-the i'm
possibility Of feeding our three best theatres
With drawing attractions from the list Of
travelling organizations for next vear,-and,
MS reported, he is willing to make
terms with the Union Square manage
ment for stock company. II the
scheme is entertained at all by Mr.. Palmer, We
can understand how the same reasons that
prompted him to lease the old Brooklyn Thea
tre will induce him to attempt the establish
ment Of q ''branch theatre In this city. Dur
ing the long runs at the Square there are always
many of the regular company unemployed, the
majority OF whom could be utilized toward the
formation Of 4 very powerful company. II such
q project is carried out in this city understand
that the company, the management, and the
scenic department. will in every way be equal to
that at the Square, and, By placing on the age
q succession IT New York novelties, it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that the enterprise will result
in financial success. The advantages to the
city in the establishment Of such company as
is contemplated are apparent, and there is no
doubt that Tor years there has not been a more
fitting time than the present to carry out such
au enterprise in Chicago.
In regard to the five weeks engagement OF
the Union Square company, which begins at
HaTcrly's on the 18th, We may SAY that the orig
inal idea Of only PLAYING The Bankers
Daughter and" The Lost Children" !" has been
abandoned In addition to those two plays it
Is said the repertoire will comprise ''Mother
