This misapprehension has grown
out of the recent acquisition for
vaudeville BY the newly formed
United States Amusement Company
of several theaters which hitherto
have been operated as independent
dramatic theaters under the man
agement of the Shubert Theatrical
Company, a corporation the major
ity of whose stock is owned by
Western capitalists. The theaters
in question comprise several that
were acquired by the Shubert The
atrical Company TO supplement the
original circuit of independent thea
tiers, and their withdrawal does not
in any respect alter the general
situation. For the most part these
theaters are situated in the cities of
lesser importance.
ct is our purpose to conduct our
various enterprises on strictly indie
pendent lines. Our independent in
terests viii re1lain independent"
Aside from this. Harrison Grey Fiske
said: THE Impression that independent
theaters and managers have been prac-
tically put urder. Is not true. We are
much stronger than We were before the
merger. stronger than we were last
week. Il fact. the merger does not
really affect the Independents at all.

Mouse; The Hypocrites, and Miss
Nethersole in a week of repertoire.
Aside from these, not quite in their
class, but novelties and decidedly en-
joyable, it has brought "Clarice" and
''The Squaw Man." and two lively
Cohan shows. ''Forty-fve Minutes
From Broadway" and George
Washington, Jr," and return en-
gagements of "Strongheart" and
''Her Great Match" plays that were
deservedly popular. That is a four
months record that it is doubtful
whether any theater in the country
could equal. The National has not,
in that time, handed the public a
single lemon. 1t has mad all sorts
of plays, and the best of each sort.
The Belasco cannot touch that record,
though It has had some of the most
enjoyable Of the seasons engagements.
The Shubert alliance with Klaw and
Erlanger, discussed in this weeks New
York letter, is certainly going to help
the Belasco a whole lot. It has suffered
sadly from the fact that the vaulting
ambition of the Independents to secure
enough theaters TO play in. has Ger
Ieaped itself. They got the thcaters and
lacked the attractions to play in them.
They have been constantly switching
around in their efforts to keep their
theaters open, and Manager Taylor has
