The 190s-9 theatrical season win
open on Wednesday, August 26, when
the doors of the Odeon will admit the
production of Askin & Singers 'The
Time, the Place and the Girl" which
is to play six engagements between
Chicago and Denver.
The bookings made by Busby Bros.
for the approaching season are numer-
Gus for this early in the season, and
among them are included many first
class attractions, more in fact than
have ever been made before this early
in the year. Managers of many of the
larger attractions have not yet booked
outside Of the larger cities, and will
not do SO until September Included
among these are Henry w. Savage,
William A. Brady, and the Schuberts.
AS this is presidential year, always
considered hard one on the theatrical
business, there will not be as many
shows OH the road. The financial fur
ry of last fall affected the show BUSH
ness as much, If not more, than any
other one line, and many of the COM
panies that went under have not yet
been re- assembled, or will they be this
season. 1t is safe to say that the COM
panies that are on the road this year
will be only those which have some
financial backing.

traction here in August, on the Goth,
when George NJ. Cohan's new musical
comedy, Hip, Hip, Hurray." will be
presented This show Is out for the first
