No Cheap Attractions
Played. Next Season.

"This change results from all the
leading houses Joining the Klaw e

shows exclusively. Their shows are
all high class attractions and people
will always get their moneys worth.
Here locally I understand all the
$3.50 shows will go to the Spokane
and all the dollar shows to the Au-
ditorium. The shows will be divided
in the same manner In all the north
west cities. The 81 attractions play
more engagements. so the house hay
ing them will be closed the least
number of nights"
This change in theater attractions
goes into effect next September.
