Phoenix 70 Be Sure EnOudh
ShCw Town" This Winter.

The theatrical season in Arizona has
for some reason been late in opening
this year. though there are more good
companies on the road and organizing
than for some years past.
The first attraction in this city will
be at the Patton Grand tomorrow
night. when the Greater America com
pany will doubtless face a good audi
.ence in the presentation of their varied
programme of fun. frolic. musical and
specially numbers.
AS the season is just opening curios-
ity led to inquiry in matters theatrical,
but especially along the line OF what
Phoenix is 20 enjoy during the coming
winter.
It was learned that s. e. Patton. who
now has the mana cement of the three
opera houses at Phoenix. Prescott ard
Jerome, respectively, has been busily
engaged of late in the formation Of
circuit by which he controls as we'll
the bookings of the theatersi in Viii
liams. Winslow. Gallup and Albuquer-
que. This happy arrangement has en-
abled him by making his bookings at
these playhouses, harmonious in the
matter OF dates. to secure for the sea
sons pleasure visits from Il larger num-
Der OF first-cIass companies than ever
before, even though the season is late
liz starting. Heretofore it has been ina-
possible to secure a good attraction in
an Arizona town, except as a chance
date made by troupes en- route either
to or from the coast, and good compa-
MES which did not wish to include Cali
fornia in their itinerary would not
go further west than Colorado. BY this
circuit arrangement several well known
aggregations have expressed their in
tention Of making the Arizona circuit
returning via the Southern Pacific to
Texas and the south.
Thus far twenty-eigl1t different at
fractions have been booked for this cir
cult and Manager Patton is in CORE
spondence with twelve more. confident
ly expecting satisfactory arrangements.
