POOR SEASON IF
TRUST CONTROLS.
But Talk OF Building New High
Glass Theatre Is Re
vived.
SHOW PEOPLE SEEK LIGHT
Big List Of independent Attrac-
tons Anxious to Appear
at Academy.

While those who arc financially in
terested decline to discuss the matter
one way or the other, there was a
revival OF talk in business circles
yesterday that new theatre of the
frst-class will be erected In Rich
mond during the next year. This re-
port follows another report that the
Academy of Music will not be opened
to the independents along with the
syndicate attractions. With no omen
door. the Academy attractions next
season will be limited, and there may
be weeks and weeks Of darkness. In
the event of such conditions, business
men argue that a second theatre
would be a paying investment. The
name of a prominent business man
has been mantioned in connection
with the leadership of the movement
and when theatre people heard 1T
Yesterday they Immediately wanted TO
get In touch with him. They Will
probably do that to-day
The list of Independent attractions
which will be sent out from New York
next fall includes some of the best
Plays and players in the profession
TO- day. If the Academy Of Music
sticks to the Klaw & Erlanger syn
dicate. none of the following can be
seen In Richmond unless new the
atre is built:
