SAMUEL NEWHOUSE
TO BUILD THEATRE
FOR INDEPENDENTS
Continued from page one.

house obtained a fair price for the site,
the theatre people are not at all dis
pleased, and regard the salt Lake field
so valuable that almost any figure would
be fair price of admission.
William Morris is principally known
as the Independent booking agent for
vaudeville acts and stars, and he han
dies such men as Harry Lauder, the
highest-priced vaudeville star on the
stage today. Mr. Morris has won fame
because of the campaign he has waged
for Independent vaudeville.
While the class of attractions at the
new Morris playhouse is assured to be
of the highest order, it is not known
from just what source all of the attrac-
Uions may come. 1t is believed among
local theatrical managers and others
who have watched the connections of
the two firms, that Morris will enter
into a working agreement with the Shu-
berts, and that he will allow the Shu-
bert attractions to show at the new
playhouse when his own attractions are
not booked
A Bond Of Sympathy.
The fact that the Shuberts recently
announced Harry Lauder as an at
traction at the chain of Shubert the
aires gives substance to this belief
While Morris is competing against the
vaudeville combine, the Shuberts are
carrying on their war against the the
atrical syndicate, and in that respect,
if in no other, there is a bond Of com
mon sympathy between the two upon
which may be formed the working
agreement which viii keep the house
open throughout the season.
tt is further known that the Shuberts
have been trying to get d new playhouse
i'm Salt Lake. the old Lyric being in
adequate TO meet their demands. No
move has yet been made on the part of
the Shuberts to build a new theatre of
their own, although il is certain that the
Shuberts have been apprised of the
pending deal between Morris and Mr..
NewhOuse.
As soon as the deal is closed today,
the final details having been arranged,
the papers viii be signed, and no time
will be lost to start the erection Of the
new theatre. While MIR. Seely arrived
/ i'm Salt Lake Tuesday evening no con-
/ ference was held with Mr.. NewhOuse
until Thursday morning. In the mean
/ time Mr.. Seely was given an OppOrtuni-
! ty 10 look over the proposed site at state
] street and Exchange place, and ne was
delighted with the location, as well as
with the prospects of Salt Lake. He
/ believes that there is plenty of room
/ here for another theatre, and especially
/ for one which will afford high-class
vaudeville as well as standard prOduc-
/ tions.
The work on the new playhouse viii
not be allowed to lag, as the theatrical
people interested I'm the venture are anX-
/ ious to get started in the new field as
J soon as possible.

END OF sWITCHMEN's
STRIKE IN SIGHT
Only Minor Point, on Which Railroads
Are Expected To Concede,
Prevents Settlement

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Dec. 25.-
The switchmen's strike which has tied
up the railway situation Of the north.
west for several weeks. is practically
at an end. The situation is now up
TO the railroads to yield what is re-
garded today as a minor point and il
is said they will yield.
With his voice reduced to a whisper
as the result OF the stream OF argu
ments used by him in the recent con
ference, Gov. Eberhart said today that
settlement is In sight.
The only point at issue is whether
the railroads shall bind themselves 10
reinstate all OF the striking switch
men In their statement OF Thursday
the railroads said they would re-employ
all of the strikers as soon as they
were able.
The switchmen and the representa-
tives of the railway department of the
American Federation of Labor Do
jected TO this and refused to yield
They said that TO do so would be to
sacrifice the principles Of unionism
At this point the conference ceased
but the governor believes the railroads
will see the necessity OF this conces-
sion. A compromise is expected on
the basis of a time limit-say 30 days
within which the men who went out
on strike will be reinstated in their
former places.
