Starting unostentatiously with the
| American theatre in New York city
about year ago, William Norris,
quietly acquires Blaney's in the same
city, playing per cent. houses in
Brooklyn and Newark N. ]. and later
the Orpheum in Boston on which the
percent. lease had been inadvertently
allowed to expire.
So quietly were his plans made and
carried out, that not until the coming
of Lauder, did the vaudeville combine
even dream of a rival as formidable
as they found Mr.. Morris to be.
William Morris is no new conner In
the amusement business. He served
long apprenticeship in the offices of
the United Booking company, ana
managed the vaudeville end OF the
Klaw and Brlanger firm, when the
latter inaugurated their first fight on
B. +. Keith.
When even this powerful syndicate
was compelled to retire from the field
Mr.. Morris rejected an offer from the
Keiths an began to lay his plans for
an Independent fight on the combine
His tour with Lauder served to
acquaint him at first hand with the
theatrical situation in the west, and
since the close of the regular season.
he has secured control of enough
theatres to make up his Eastern cir
cult and enable him to assure his con-
tracted attractions a full forty-two
weeks season, with all the summer
business they can care to have.
The recent Incorporation OF the
Western circuit, with headquarters in
| San Francisco, strengthens him with
the addition of twenty-five more
| theatres,
Mr.. Morris himself recently gave
out the following statement in regard
to his latest advance:
when we first invaded Chicago"
says he, "the stronghold of my
vaudeville rivals, said publicly
that before the first OF next January
my company would have a transcon-
| tihcntui ciTcuit, WIJH odn fTanC1ScO
as the western base. My prophecy Is
fulfilled now, and will be in working
order by the opening OF the regular
season, six months in advance of the
date | mentioned"
Now that / have my Independent
vaudeville established across the con-
tinent" he continued Pm half way
around the world. I have all the capi-
tai backing that / require and now |
shall go ahead with negotiations,
already under way with Messrs. Bar
rasford, Gibbons and some other for
eign managers. who are now only
waiting for me to clean up some tag
end details by cable to start our
chain of vaudeville houses around the
world
William Morris vaudeville will be
seen at the Grand Opera house dur
ing the present season, along with
the best that the Sam s. and Lee
Shubert interests have to offer and
Marion can count herself particular
ly fortunate In choice and high class
theatrical entertainment promised
Tor the coming fall and winter.

Old Book IArnna.

The words folio, quarto, octave, duo
decimo and the like have almost IL not
quite lost their original meaning. At
first they had reference only to the
number Of leaves into which the sheets
used in making the books were folded.
Thus If these sheets were folded once
so as TO form two leaves or four pages
the book was called a folio; IL the
sheets were folded twice so as to form
four leaves the book was called a
quarto; IL they were folded four times
so as TO form eight leaves the book
was called an octave, and so on.
