It is understood that the Amusement Company is forming a circuit through the West and South for vaudeville attractions. Represen- tattves of the concern were in the city a few weeks ago and made inquiry for a suitable location on which to erect a modern little theatre, The coming of other representatives shows that the concern means business and that Birmingham will likely get a new theatre.
