BtIIGERENT THEATRICAL
INTERESTS DECLARE PEACE
Independent Faction Wins Notable
Victory in Conflict With
Show "TruSt."
CAN NOW MAKE ANY BOOKINGS

While VIM. a. Brady, the wei known
theatrical producer was i'm this city
last week. to meet his wife Grace
George. who played in the local play
house. he received a telegram from
New York Informing him that the So
called theatrical war was at an end
and that the independent faction had
won notable victory. Further intor-
nation concerning the latest develop
ments have just been received.
Henry w. Savage has entered into
contracts with the National Theater
owners association and with Messrs.
Klaw 4 Erlanger which provide that
for term OF years Mr.. Savage's pro-
ductions shall appear I'm the theaters
owned or controlled by them. Mr..
Savage's numerous productions will
thus be offered I'm every city and town
of theatrical importance In the United
States. playing Klaw & Erlanger
houses wherever they exist and those
of the Independent forces I'm the small
er cities and towns.
by this arrangement the differences
between the syndicate and the mde-
pendent forces are abrogated i'm so far
as concerns the Savage productions,
and those living in no important por-
tion Of the theatrical map will be
compelled 10 miss the attractions OF

independents Make Statement.
From the Offices OF the National
Theater Owners association a state
ment of like import was sent out 1t
said: W
This arrangement fulhlls the object
for which John Cort and those afil-
lated with him have been fighting;
that OF bringing all producing man
ayers into an agreement such as will
allow them to play their attractions
independently. 1t does not prohibit
Savage or any others from placing
their offerings in syndicate city thea
ters, as that would be a violation of
the policy OF the association, but it
Goes allow them to play in all open
door houses.
Are Holding Conferences.
Several other syndicate managers
have declared for the independent
movement These men, for certain
reasons. have refrained from announc-
ing their intentions, but they win play
the territory in 'open-door' theaters."
Although no official statement could
be obtained from Klaw & Erlanger II
is understood that they are satisfied
with the arrangement made by Col
Savage. Joseph Brooks, who is close
TO ''K & f." said that peace was about

business i'm the country" he said.

be conducted to the best advantage of
all concerned.

The syndicate was formed in 1896 and
has been under the direct control of

since that time. The first open re-
bellion to the trust" came from Har-
rison Gray Fiske, who decided to book
his star Mrs. Fiske, independently.
Later on David Belasco became an OPP
en- opponent OF the trust and finally
the Shuberts joined with them and
have been aggressive leaders i'm the
fight. The war has been "A bitter one
from the start and the sufferers have
been the small theater owners and
managers
Early this spring a new phase of the
war developed. Instead of II being a
contest between producing managers
and the syndicate the theater owners
came into the fight. Within a week
nearly all of the small zone night

States announced the adoption OF the
