Collapse of the theatrical Syndicate.

Collapse of the theatrical Syndicate.
Walter Prichard Eaton writes an ac.
count of "The Rise and Fall of the Thea
tiical Syndicate" in the October Amer
lean Magazine He proclaims new era
in the theatrical world which must re-
dound to the public benefit OF the
recent disafFection of the members Of
the syndicate and their desertion to the
camp Of the independents, led by the
fighting Shubert Bros, Mr.. Eaton
writes:
Early in 1910 the landslide started.
William A. Brady, manager OF many
plays, and Daniel V. Arthur. manager
OF Marie Cahill and De Wolf Hopper
tMr. Arthur had tried in vain to get a
theatre for Hopper in New York from
the syndieatel, went over to the Snu-
berts. Already the Shuberts were pre-
pairing to add The New theatre com
pany to their list of travelling attrac-
items. They controlled as many theatres
in New York as the syndicate. In Bos-
ton. by wise management, they had
taken the prestige away from the mis-
managed Hollis street theatre. They
we're intrenched in Washington, Phila-
delphia, Pittsburg, Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis, and the connecting cities.
And by mid-spring, 1910, the land
slide was coming down. gathering mo-
mentum as il slid. and making a roar in
the theatrical world tnat caused Broad
way to sit up astonished. First the
circuit Of theatres covering New Eng
land, through the man who mad hither-
to lined them up for tne syndicate. de-
clared for the open door. Then John
Cort's circuit Of theatres covering the
northwest followed suit. A Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio circuit lin which Nixon
& Zimmerman owned 25 per cent. Of
the stock next voted to box anv plays
they chose. BY May ]. 300 small town
theatres through the country had de-
clared their right to play whatever at
fractions they saw TT, and had united
into the National Theatre Owners as
sociation. AS the Shuberts already
owned OF controlled practically as large
a number Of city theatres as the syndi-
cate. that despotic institution was. at
one blow, absolutely shoru OF its pow
er Il could no longer threaten any
body It could no longer impose is
tastes, its preiudices, its rulgarity, up
on the stage OF America"

SENATOR CRANE
SAW BALLINGER
II Is Understood He Asked Secretary
to Resign.
FOR THE GOOD Of THE PARTY
Mr.. aBIllnOer 10 Credited with an In
tervIew That May Force Him
TO Act on the sug.
nestlon.

Beverly, Aug. S.-Secretary Of the
Interior Ballinger has been invited %
offer himself as vicarious sacrilice
to Republican success next fall. \
has been pointed out to Mr.. Ballingei
that his continuance in the cabinet Of
President Taft at this time, whether
he be guilty or innocent Of the
charges preferred against him IN the
Pinchot Investigation, he may prove
a burden greater than the party can
carry in the forthcoming congress
sional campaign. He Is therefore ask
ed to be a patriotic and q martyr and
get out.
Broke News at Minneapolis.
Senator W. Murray Crane broke the
news to him In Minneapolis last Mon
day. Secretary Ballinger ID thinking
1t over.
In the meantime 1t may be suggest
ed as strong possibility that Il Mr.
Ballinger does not resign ne may Be
forced out OF the cabinet
There is an even chance that BY
submitting to the interview credited
TO him in Minneapolis, in which MT
Ballinger dragged the name Of Roose
welt into his discourse and imputed
10 Pinchot, Garfield and their asso
ciates a purpose to embrOil the presi
dent and his predecessor, he has
sounded note that will break even
the patience OF President Taft.
a Rule Of the Cabinet.
There has been a tacit rule in the
Taft cabinet ever since there began
to be a public question as to the rela
lions between Taft and Roosevelt
that no member o. the presidents ON
cial family should discuss in any way
the relations between the president
and the colonel. It is a rule Of oficial
good taste and If Mr. Ballinger has
broken it, particularly at this time
the consequence may be serious.
There is considerable doubt, how
ever, as to whether Mr.. Ballinger will
20 without struggle, He has beer
forced into a corner. He is a fighting
man by nature. The role Of q marty
is not to his liking He may buck.
And here is where the interview
that he gave to the reporters II
Minneapolis may be made to serve .
good purpose.
Beverly is very anxious to know
whether Secretary Ballinger was cor
rectly quoted. al

not carry resignation blank for Mr..
