AmuSementS
Money in the Theater Business


The great change which has come
about in the theatrical business within
the past few years, and the great eX-
pense of making production today
was discussed by Ernest Shutters ad-
vance representative of Elinor Glyn's
"Three Weeks" which comes to the
Keylor Grand on Tuesday, Aug. 10.
In these days of commercial progress
there is in all likelihood no branch of
industry which shows such a revOlu-
ton of method and material advance
ment as the amusement business. Time
was when the Thespian Travelled about
the country in caravans or transformed
in actual reality, being regarded by the
social structure as a kind of Parrish
and regarded by them as curiosity
in much the same manner as they
might lion or a scored bull, a theat-
rical enterprise requiring at the ut
most $500 or $500. But now the bust
ness has grown and expanded until at
the present day the money theatrical
undertakings require investments OF
capital which would run very large
manufacturing plant or build an ocean
steamship. The amount of capital IN
vested in the large theatrical firms is
almost beyond the comprehension OF
the uninitiated Such men as Klaw
G. Erlanger, Charles Frohman, David
Belasco, Henry w. Savage and others
have amounts of money invested in
the amusement business that easily
run up into the millions. The bust
ness of these men is conducted with
an exactitude and a general system
which is the envy of the largest and
most powerful corporations in the
country.
To transport the Three Weeks
company, it's scenery. properties, and
costumes requires two 60-foot cars
and in some cases special train
Over $4,000 has been invested in the
equipment, and the pay roll is exceed
ingly large.
But for all that they are constantly
striving after better things, and the
American stage is constantly growing
better and better. 1t was something
more than commercial spirit which
prompted the management to produce
Three Weeks and Messrs. Klaw
& Erlanger to produce Ben Hur. 1t
was not altogether dollars which in
duCed Mr.. Savage to produce "Parsi-
far in English, which caused Mr.. Be
lasco to spend s1eepless nights in the
presentation of his brilliant effects.
Elinor Glyn's Three Weeks" comes
to the Keylor Grand for one perform

LITTLE BABY
HORRIBLY BURNED
By Boiling Grease Skin All Came
off One Side Of Face and Head
Tried an Ointment which Made It
All Foster Wee Sufferer Seemed
Disfgured for Life.
CURED WITHOUT A
MARK BY CUTICURA

"About year and eight months ago
my baby, aged ten months, was sitting
on the mat beside the fender and we were
preparing the breakfast when the frying
pan full Of boiling grease was upset and
it went all over one side of the baby's
face and head. One of the family ran
and wiped the scald with a towel and
you may think what mess she made,
pulling the entire skin off. We took her
to a chemist who told us to get doctor,
which we did. He tended her a week
and gave me some stuff like lard to put
on. But it all festered and I thought
the baby was disfgured for life. A
woman close beside me told me to try
Cuticura Ointment. l used about three
boxes and it was wonderful how it healed.
In about five weeks it was better and
there wasn't a mark to tell where the
scald had been. People used to ask me
if that was the baby that was scalded
and they would hardly believe me when
told them she was and what cured her
face. Her skin is just like velvet and
have never been without Cuticura since.
Cuticura cured three other children Of
ringworm besides, so have good cause
to thank it for what it has done. Mrs.
Hare, /, Henry St., South Shields, Dur
ham, England, March %, 1905"

point In favor of beer and stout as

great advantage over milk, for they

containing a very small amount Of
alcohol and relatively large
amount of nutritive material. 1t is
too often forgotten that beverages

slightly more than per cent of alco-
