eral manager here Mr.. Frohman says:
The plan thnt l propose to put into full
operation In February wilt be a develop
ment Of the enterprise associated with the
Court Theatre, London. which a in
my opinion. the best blow struck for the
stage since the production OF the Gilbert

running plays will be as follows: In the

THE METROPOLITAN TANGLE.
Court TO Ilecidc To-day Whether The
Guaranty Trust "a. MAY Come In.

CoUrJ 10 TScciuC To-Day NnetueT tue
Guaranty Trust GO. May Com In.
At yesterdays seesion Of the Morton
Trust Company's foreclosure suit against
the Metropolitan Street Railway Company
in the United States Circuit Court Judge
Lacombe announced that he would
decide by to-day whether to allow or
dismiss the cross bill Of the Guaranty
Trust Company, which has interviewed in
the suit to protect the equities in the
property under the mortgages of which
it is trustee.
Brainerd Tolles OF counse. for the
Guaranty Trust Company made a long
argument in which he said that evidence
had already been introduced tending to
demonstrate that the receivers of the
Metropolitan had taken money from the
general fund to apply to the improve
ment of the property directly under the
lien Of the first mortgage held by tae
Morton TrustC Company as trustee. and that
this application OF tho money increased
the blu rGers which would fall on tho
buyers under the second mortgag &c he'd
by the Qua ranty Trust Company, and
that the equivalent OF such expenditures
should be returned to the general fund.
Mr.. Tolles urged the court to &C frame it's
decree as to order the ga le Of the property
so that the ea uities VI der the Guaranty
eompany's mortgage SHOULD be pro-
served.
The receivers. he said. had made Efforts
to put the property on a paying basis. but
without success. II there had been any
thing earned then the question would be
a proportional division Of the earnings.
But" added Mr.. Tolles parentheticllIy.
there will be nothing to divide"
Bronson Winthrop, counsel for the
Trust Company, replied to Mr..
Toiles and declared that il il was the
courts duty to divide proportionately
any surplus that may have accrued
the same should be done in case Of a
which would pfoba bly, be the re-
suit of the present situation, Mr.. Tolles.
he said. had not shown what moneys
had been diverted by the receivers or
10 what extent M portion of the property
was benefited by the administration of
the receivers, The receivers, he de-
had administered the system for
best interests OF all.

sHUBERT SAYS HE'S PLEASED.
That the 'Open Door" Has Won Gut In
the Theatre Rusiness-But--

Lee Shubert, speaking OF the peao,
made by Klaw Il Erlanger with Harri'
son Grey Fiske and David Belasco. sale
last night;
so far as myself and my associates
are concerned we cannot disapprove Of
a development which shows advancement
Of the policy OF the open door for which
we have fought. At the time when ouI
company arranged n working agreement
with the syndicate, about two years ago
Klaw d Erlanger we're most unwilling tc
book Mr.. Belasco's attractions and Mr.
Belasoo refused to play in any houses
owned or controlled in any degree by
Klaw d Erlanger.
1T is really gratifying 10 us to note
that the tendency toward a general let
ting down Of the nara which were mp sc
long and 30 unjustly against independent
producers is 80 emphatically in evidence
in the change OF attitude both on the
part OF Erlanger and Belasco and Fiske
1t Is true that Mr.. Belasco and Mr.. Fiske
have been able to exist and to carry on
the ir enterprisestonly through the activ-
ity Of the Shubert company in providing
them a field OF operation. But their con-
tributions to the number OF plays which
we tuN6 Iltu Ioi IA hoNopo nave Soi"-
ciafly in the last two seasons-been COM
paratively small. The truth Of the matter
is that both the syndicate and ourselves
always feel the heed Of good attractions.
I'VE have produced and procured our
own attractions and will continue to do
So with such measure vi SUCCESS as may
be ours.
II Ina We contended always that the time
would come when the bars must be let
down and successful producers well
coined wherever they were willing to
play their attractions.
Even IL at the end Of our booking con-
tract with Mr.. Belasco Ia year hencel
his attrac actions are no longer played in
our houses it will maze little difference
to IFS.
Conditions change rapidly in the theat-
rical world, and all the recent changes
have. / am glad to say. Q due to our
efforts TO establish real independence
among producers and managers.
AS l said in the beginning, / have
fought for the open door and it cannot
be too wide open to suit us. The fact that
Belasco's attrac actions in their houses and
that Pelasoo is willing to clasp the hand
OF the octopus which he has so long n
80 valiantly assaulted is simply an indi.
cation OF the trend Of theatrical events.
Art is one thing and business existence
past and present opportunities to the
efforts OF our company. SO does Mr..
Fiske. We are independents and they
are independents. Whatever steps they
may take in an independent way We can
not with consistency disapprove. 1t is
really Of little moment to h public, which
cares little about whose attractions it
may pay TO see and in what theatres it
may see them 80 long as the attractions
are worth the monev.
quite able TO fiji our own theatres with
first class attra ctions and to supply an
excellent seasons booking to all the

which we are to book in the coming season.
We have over forty attractions now. and

FOR PROHIBITION

DIR. ]. B. Hawthorne. formerly pastor
of the First Baptist church here, who
now lives in Richmond. is in Atlanta,
where he will remain until about the mid
die OF April. DR.. Hawthorne is making
a lecture tour OF the south.
DR.. Hawthorne says that Virginia will
adopt statewide prohibition in the next
three of four years. and he prophecies
a rapid spread of prohibition throughout
the country.
In tine middle western and northwes-
tern states" he said. they are showing
as much interest in prohibition as the
south. In Virginia all but the large cities
are dry. Richmond would go dry If they
put il to the vote Of the people.
Prohibition OF course viii never be-
come perfectly effective until we can get
national legislation protecting dry states.
/ do not favor a national prohibition law
however. I think each state should have
its own legislation, but should be protect
ed by the government.
Influential people who formerly oppos-
ed prohibition now favor Il. No one can
doubt that IL has been of vast benefit to
the Iaboring classes. and especially to the
