Lee Shubert. head of the New York

cal trust. has issued a statement clearly
defining his position In regard to his re-

there is no alliance of independent mar
ayers, except such an alliance as exists
between any manager who controls a
theater and any other man who plays
his attractions there. We have not
formed an opposition trust or syndicate
We simply are trying to protect our
selves from the existing combination,
which has barred our productions from
its own houses and from the ones 1t
represents.
This action on the part of the syndi-
cate made it necessary for my firm to
secure theaters of its own In which to
present its attractions. Having secured
these theaters, or a large number of
