The Very Best Theatrical Attractions
Secured for that City.

The Very Best Theatrical Attractions
Secured for that City.
The Eastern dramatic papers hive
been filled with rumors the past
month concerning,Mr. Al. Hayman'
great scoop of many of the leading
theaters in the principal cities through
out the country. These rumors are
now confirmed by Manager Fried
lander, who tells the Oreqonian that
Mr.. Hayman has controlling inter-
est in Proctor's Twenty-third Street
Theater, New York; The Chestnut
Street. QRera -Hause, Philadelphia ;
the new Duquesne, in Pittsburg; the
Lyceum, in Cleveland; the Hollis
Street Theater, in Boston; the Elite,
in Brooklyn; the Grand, in Cincinnati
the Columbia and the Haymarket, in
Chicago; the Salt Lake Theater; the
Tabor Grand, in Denver; also opera
houses in Ogden, Leadville, Pueblo,
Colorado Springs, Omaha, Kansas
City, the Marquam Grand, in Portland,
and the New California and Baldwin
Theaters OF San Francisco. This list
does not include score of smaller
ones, and several in other cities now
being negotiated for. All of these
theaters play strictly the very best OF
attractions, and none others can pro-
cure dates in the future at any price.
In addition to the houses above men
toned, Mr. Hayman has controlling
interest and owns more companies
than any other living manager. In
deed he is called the monarch mana.
ger of the World, as no manager in
either America or the Old World has
so many theatrical interests of the
very highest order.
At the present writing Mr.. Hayman
has about twenty of the greatest stars
and combinations on the road, and his
partner, Mr.. Charles Frohman, is add
ing to this remarkable list daily
They have two Shenandoah" COM
panies, two "Men and Women" two
Held by the Enemy" two "Priyatt
Secretary two "Mr. Wilkinson's
Widows" two "All the Comforts Of
Home" and besides Sara Bernhardt
Dan Frohman's Lyceum Theater Com
pany, the Boston and New York Stocl
Companies, A. NJ. Palmer's company
and Clara Morris, they will play Sar
don's "Thermidor," "Jane," "The
Solicitor" "Dr. Bill" "The Los
Paradise" "The Crystal Slipper" ant
the new spectacles, and the late grea
success of many years, Alabama"
What this means can only be ap
preciated by the managers and profes
sional people. 1t gives Mr. Hayman {
chance to fill an entire season in hi.
houses without any assistance from
outside parties, and an absolute mo
uopoly in the cities above mentioned
In many of the places named, includ
ing Portland, it will be years before
anyone else will have a ghost of {
chance to secure first-class attractions
if they had theater that would cos
millions, and hereafter, of course, Mr.
Hayman will decline anything, except
ing such stars and combinations az
play the Baldwin and the new Califor
MIA theaters, OF San Francisco.
Manager Friedlander states empha
tically that Mr.. Hayman will book nj
mediocre attractions for the coming
season, and that his principal has de
clined all the ordinary stars and travel
ing combinations.
Although the present season is uo
yet over, the following are among the
attractions already contracted for tc
play in Portland, list the equal o
that OF any other city in America.
