these managers have been losing money
on many of their ventures-on practi-
cally everything they had, with the
exception of Sothern-Marlowe combina-
tion and the Hippodrome-which of
course doesn't count to us at this end
of the theatrical world-has been
big syndicate for months, and 1t was
only question of time when the Shu-
berts and their financial hackers,
George B. Cox, the Ohio politician, and
Congressman Rhinock of Cincinnati,
would become weary of the tremendous
task of uplifting the native drama and
succcumb to the declaration of the
dollars.
David Belasco, Mr.. Fiske and Mr.
Miller stoutly acclaim that they will
not be interfered with in the Pursuance
of their plans by the detection of the
Shuberts-for mind you, the Shuberts
had most of the theater leases in their
own names, and while Belasco, Fiske
ct al have the shows, they have no
places around the country in which to
place them.
There is just a single glimmer of
hope for the people who are trying to
conduct their business along independ-
ent, free and artistic lines, and that is
that they may perhaps find friends
among the strong combination of vau-
deville managers. Klaw & Erlanger
and the other managers of the syndi-
cate have of late expressed hanker-
ing for the vaudeville game end of the
show business. In other words they
have fearfully strong idea that they
Los Angeles herald., 1907-05-05

have a divine right to corral the entire
theatrical proposition, and with this
firmly fixed in their several minds have
gone about leasing or erecting new
theaters in which they propose to place
vaudeville attractions, in opposition to
existing vaudeville conditions. In this
Klaw & Erlanger are opposing Keith,
Proctor, Chase, Williams, Hammer
stein, Kohl, Castle and the entire Or
pheum circuit. Now, whether the al
lied vaudeville managers will come to
the rescue of Belasco, Fiske, Miller and
any other Independent manager that
might join the trio is question. How
ever, should they do so, the independ-
ents will be much stronger than with
| the Shuberts in their camp.
| Locally, there is considerable inter-
i est in the syndicate and Independent
movements. The Mason represents the
former, while oliver Morosco's new
theater, the Majestic, was expected to
house the Belasco-F o-Fiske-Miller attrac-
tions should they venture this far west.
Mr. Morosco has received assurances
from the Shuberts that their contracts
with him for the Majestic will stand,
but they neglect to state whether
Klaw & Erlanger will accept these
contracts. Ask David Belasco, Harri-
son Grey Fiske, Henry Miller or any
of the managers to whom the Shu-
berts have given the spectacular throw
down as to their opinion of the Shu-
berts statement to Morosco and there
is every chance in the world their an
swer would be: "If Jake and Lee say
yes, they mean so.'
Among local theatrical people who
have a pretty thorough knowledge of
existing conditions in both the syndi-
cate and independent camps the opin-
ion is freely expressed that no Shubert
attractions will be played in Los An
geles after September L. and unless the
Orpheum and the other vaudeville peo-
pie come to the aid of the Independents
these valiants in the good cause Of
theatrical freedom will have harder
row to hoe than before.

pear at the Mason Monday and for the
balance of the week with the usual
Saturday matinee, in "The Magic Mel
ody." Mr.. Whiteside, a stranger to
Los Angeles audiences is an actor of
splendid histrionic talent and one who
by his works and his wisdom makes
for the betterment of the stage as an
institution of art. The central figure
of his play is young German violin
ist who falls in love with the ward of
an American king of finance. In the
struggles of the young violinist to be-
come famous, and therefore to become
worthy of his inamorita, and the op-
position he overcomes lies the crux
of the story. For the presentation of
the play Mr.. Whiteside has secured
Howard Gould, strong local favorite;
Henry Bergman, Leslie Kenyon, Miss
May Buckley, Miss Martha George and
Miss Olive Wyndham.
AUDITORIUM--"Ro Hood" the
great success of last weeks inaugural
of The Californians' season, will run
all this week. The opera is now per-
fected, and a smoo1h and delightful
performance is given. No change will
be made in the cast.
BURBANK-Blanchs Halls hit in
when Knighthood Was in Flower" has
been so pronounced a / the demand for
seats is so great that the Burbank
management has decided to run the
play another week, and it will, there
fore, continue as the Fiesta attraction.
ORPHEUM-Acroba and gymnastic
feats are always popular with Orpheum
audiences, and the Four Harveys,
team of European artists. are certain
to score success in their daring work
on the slack wire. Those who saw the
original production of 'Babes in Toy

cessfully to sidestep a part for more
than two weeks. But Blackwood AYERS
that when Miss Carey does return to
work she'll never know another vaca-
ton, for the schedule of Belasco plays
for the coming four or five months
makes the Carey presence in the bills
imperative.
George Barnum remembered me with
letter from the steamship Kroonland
the other day. George complained that
| the steamers passenger list was COM
posed mainly of delegates to a temper
ance convention or something of the
kind where highhalls were barred-in
consequence of which George averred
, that the trip from New York to Ant
werp was a distressingly dry and un-
companionable one.
It's too bad Ritchie Ling, the tenor
of the Californians, is not accompanied
by his charming wife, Lotta Faust
herself one of the dominating beauties
of the New York stage and an actress
and singer of infinite fascination and
talent. In making up the Californians
Messrs. Karl and Dewee overlooked the
one best bet on the theatrical slate
when they did not bring Miss Faust
to Los Angeles. Lotta introduced the
Sammy" style of song to the world.
It's sung personally to some bald head

I had been expecting a picture post
card from Clarence Drown, but the
clever manager of the Orpheum and
Grand, who is now enjoying his first
respite from work in four years, has
evidently cut the cable and forgotten
all about theaters and theatrical writ
ers. All right Clarence, have good
time-goodness knows you deserve it
and I'll have to try and struggle along
the best way / can without the postal
reassurances of your welcome in the
east.
Harry Mestayer, the bright little his
trionic magnet, has been missing from
the Burbank bills the past couple of
weeks, fact that evidently gave rise
to the rumor that Harry was going
back to New York, where he would be
merely an actor and not member OF
the Down and Out club.
Jack Blackwood tells me of won
derful discovery that he recently made.
The average birthday is supposed to
cover period of twenty-four hours,
but BlackWood claims Howard Scout s
celebration of his natal day has been
going on ever since April 10. Scott, he
says, is so delighted because some one
believed him to be only 23 that he has
been buying sarsaparilla cocktails for
all his friends and acquaintainces ever
since. The best method of getting one
of these Scott beverages is to hail the
actor with this remark: Good morn
ing, Howard, congratulations and many
of them" Scott will blush trifle and
urge a sarsaparilla cocktail upon you.

The Philharmonic Course
TIME Philharmonic course closed

TIME Philharmonic course closed a
very successful tenth season with
Rosenthal, and already Manager
Len e. Behymer is arranging for next
seasons series of entertainers. This
series has long stood as representa-
tive musical course of Southern Call
fornia, and during the ten years of its
existence has introduced to the public
the greatest vocalists and instrumental
lists known to the world of music. For
next year many of the contracts have
already been signed. Among the artists
will be Fritz Kreisler, the violinist;
Madame Carreno, the great woman
pianist; Madame Johanna Gadski,
prima donna soprano; josef Hofmann
pianist, and the Bostonia sextet, with
Louise Homer or Carlotta Maconda as
vocalist, who will constitute the cham
Der music offerings.
A sixth event will be selected from
Kubelik, violinist; Harold Bauer, plan
list; Madame Bluemenfield-Zies Olfa
Samaroff, the Petschnikoffs, Marie Hall
or Maud Powell. One more vocalist
will be introduced, either Madame
Calve or Madame Marcella Sembrich.
Mr. Behymer has a splendid list to
select from, but is endeavoring to give
at least five entertainers without re-
peating a second artist in the same
character of work. A reduced price to
those taking season tickets will be
made as before and preference given to
those who have been subscribers in
the past. This is a good showing for
next years music and shows the same
which has characterized this
in the past.
