of the buildings it has erected in Los
Angeles, which is considering the erec-
tjon of the new Shubert theatef.
The rise of the Shuberts has been
remarkable. particularly when the
odds against them are considered.
The syndicate" has been ruthless
with theatrical owners. managers, ac-
tors and playwrights. and its power
has been that of despots. In spite OF
this power the Shuberts have grown
out of the ranks of producers until
their control of leading theaters has
enabled them to stand successfully
against Erlanger and to give hope 10
the Independent managers.
Many Rumors Afioat
In New York Lee Shubert and his
brother have control of dozen tne-
aters--Maxine Elliott's, the Herald
Square, the. Hippodrome, the Lyric,
Daly's, the Majestic, the Casino, the
BROOKLYN Grand opera house, the
Yorlxville, the Plaza, the Metropolis
and the West End. They have the
Garrick in Chicago, the Belasco In
washington, the Duquesne In Pitts
burg, the Lyric and Adelphic in Phil
adelphia, the LYRIC and Majestic in
Boston and other theaters in st. Louis,
Milwaukee, Cleveland, Buffalo, Gin
cincinnati and many leading cities
throughout the country. With their
new additions on the Pacific coast they
will have booking routes calculated to
give them the best possible position In
their conflict with the syndicate"
1t is characteristic of the Shuberts
that they have worked with great
quiet. They frequently offend news,
paper reporters, who have only a local
appreciation of their position, by their
sphinxlike attitude. IT have nothing
osay' is a Shubert password, and
Lee Shubert has it memorized so that
he may be caught repeating it over
and over when a newspaper mans
card is presented. No one knows ex-
actly how extensive their control OF
theaters has become this year, but it
is believed that the Pacific coast deal
will be broader than they have inti-
mated.

OF PACIFIC COAST
Noted Theatrical Managers Have
Made Rapid Roadway in Their
Conflict with the Dramatic
Trust

The Shubert theatrical interests will
build new theater in Los Angeles,
somewhat on the lines of the Sam S.
Shubert theater in Kansas City, as
one of the links in the chain they are
forging against Klaw & Erlanger.
the syndicate" This much ]. ]. Shu-
bert, who is now at the Alexandria no.
tel, admitted last night. Mr.. Shubert
qualified the statement by saying that
they would not build if they could
lease a local house, but it is known
that no local theater Is available. John
Cort left for Salt Lake yesterday at
ternoon.
While Mr. Shubert refused to make
any definite statement regarding the
warfare of the Shubert interests with
the syndicate, he gave his unqualified
Endorsement to a bitter attack on Klaw
and Erlanger which appeared re-
Gently in an eastern periodical, and
left little doubt that the ShubertS
have taken a stand OH the side of Fav-
ersham, against whom the attack of
the syndicate is now being directed.
1--WE will open theater in Los An
geles, and we will give better class
of attractions than any ever seen in
the city," said Mr.. Shubert. 1--WE will
bring companies straight from Denver,
without the wearing interval of one
night stands which takes the life out
of the attractions which now reach
Los Angeles. This will have the effect
of giving this city New York attrac-
tions. Those which now reach Los
Angeles are far below the metropoli-
tan standard.
mo definite plans for San Francisco
have been made. We are negotiating
for two other theaters. If we fail to
secure one of them, we will build.
From there we will push on up into
the northwest. We will establish first
class houses, and wherever we cannot
lease or buy a theater we will build
one."
The location of the new theater was
a matter of speculation in theatrical
circles yesterday. The Panorama
building site in Main street, and To-
cation near Fifth street and Broadway
are said to be those most favorably
considered. In the meantime an ar
rangement may be made to present
Shubert attractions at the Auditorium.
The Shubert brothers and Congress-
man Rhinock are very reticent regard
ing their plans. Their attitude in the
combat with the syndicate has been
guarded because of the methods oppos-
ing them, but the Shuberts have gone
steadily forward and the theatrical
critics generally consider that Lee Shu-
bert has outgeneraled Abe Erlanger.
The location of a Shubert theater in
Los Angeles is part of the movement
to the Pacific coast. Theaters at San
Francisco, Portland and other coast
cities will be operated along with that
at Los Angeles, as part Of an ocean-to-
ocean circuit. The Shuberts were in
conference last night with a prominent
realty dealer, who represents syndi-
cate, already famous for the character

Many Rumors Afloat
1t was rumored last night that the
Shuberts had almost closed negotia-
lions with the Bilicke- Rowan syndicate
for a new theater in the Alexandra
annex, which is to be built west of the
Hotel Alexandria, but this would not
be confirmed or denied by the parties
interested. Another rumor was that
an arrangement had been made TO
build a new theater in cooperation
with Frederic Belasco, but this was
emphatically denied. 1t was said that
this was considered in view of the fact
that Mr.. Belasco is planning a new
theater in Los Angeles. Mr. Belasco is
now in New York city.
There is no alliance of this sort,
said John H. Blackwood, as he stood IN
front of the Belasco last night with
George Broadhurst and contemplated
the ''sold out" sign. why should we
ally ourselves with anybody? Go in
and look at that audience for the an
