Mr.. Halls plans in detail cannot be an
nounced, but he says that he will operate
the Macdonough Theater both in connec-
ton with the theatrical syndicate's houses
in San Francisco and his own theaters in
the interior of the State. If he does this
he can make a strong circuit that will
include all of the principal towns in Cali

syndicate will have to deal with him.
